• _lase lines, as shown upon the map of " the .elitan Districts Railways," do not stand They are to be part and parcel of an ndr ()intl., which will carry the Metropolitan Ractive) round from Paddington, through Ken • NI. I tromptou, and Pimlico, to Westminster, and th.u...e, by the Thames Embankment and New Cannon-street, to Tower-hill, where the circle will be made complete. The Inner Circle thus proposed is a very important one, and it is very desirable to consider, in the interests of the railway companies and the public, how far it is likely to answer the objects of metropolitan railway communication. The great object being to clear the streets of the traffic now carried by carts and vans from one railway station to another, the first point to be considered is how far this line will effect the object. It can scarcely be said that it accomplishes it. The new line pence the stations of the North London, the Great Eastern, the South Eastern in Cannon street, the Loudon, Chatham, and Dover at Black friars, the Charing-crow Railway at Ilnugerford, and the Brighton and other railways at the Victoria station, without forming junctions with any one of them. lhe only junctions which are formed iu the whole course of the uew Inner Circle line are with the Blackwell Railway on the east, and with the Outer Circle Railway on the west. It appears, in fact, to be a part of the project that everyone who wishes to reach any other line from the Inner Circle should do so through the means of the Outer Circle, and that all passengers who want to be brought to stations iu the heart of London should be compelled to leave the lines by which they arrive at the jtuic tions of those lines with the Outer Circle. The inconvenience of this arrangement may, however, be very easily illustrated. A passenger from Birmingham who wishes to reach Finsbury circus direct will have to joie the Outer Circle at Kilburn, to pass round by Hampstead, Kentish town, Stamford-hill, and Upper Claptou, to Hack ney-wiek and Bow. Them he will join the Black well line, which will bring him on the Inner Circle at Feuchurch-street, from which he will' reach his destination at Finsbury after making a detour of thirteen miles. Even if the London and North Western were to work into the Outer Circle it is scarcely reasonable to suppose that any pas senger would prefer such a journey round the me tropolis to going direct to Huston-square, and get_ ling on as he does at present. The inconvenience attending the want of direct communication with the southern railways would be quite as great. To join the South Western from the Finsbury-circus Station, it would be necessary for the traveller to perform a journey by way of Tower-hill and Cannou-street to the Thames Embankment. Passing, with a sigh, under the arches of Waterloo and Hungerford Bridges, from either of which he might join the South Western at the cost of a halfpenny, he would be carried through Westnnulter and Pimlico to the Brampton Juuc ten of the Inner with the Outer Circle. From this be would be passed on through Chelsea across the Thames to Battersea, where he would join the South Western at the Clapham Junction, after travelling nearly eight miles and stopping at ten different stations. It is impossible to imagine any one undertaking such an expedition. Who would not prefer "a cab to the Waterloo Station" To join the Brighton Railway the same journey would have to be performed, and with all the ob structions on London-bridge we fancy travellers would prefer creasing it direct to the Brighton Station on the other side of it. To go from Bishops gate to the South Eastern the route would be by way of Tower-hill and the Blackwell Railway down to Bow, where there would be a junction with the Outer Circle, and the traveller would be carried &crow the High Level Bridge at Limehouse, through Rotherhithe and Deptford, to New-cresa. It would be seven miles by this route from Biehopagate to the South Eastern Junction, whilst from Bishops gate to Cannon-street it is about 1,300 yards. So much for this project as respects junctions with other communications. If the line is looked at in some other points of view its utility appears equally ,lnbiona. It is no doubt a desirable thing to get from the West-end to the City by a rapid communication. The line from Charing-cruel to Cannon-street has been constructed ou the south aide of the Thames to effect that object, at a cost of no leas than a million per mile. The Inner Circle proposes to accomplish the same object on the north side of the Thames. But with what advantage 1 It will have its station at Westminster•bridge, instead of Charing-cross. The distance to Cannon street is precisely the same from the one point as from the other. Which is the best point for a sta tion 1 Obviously Charing-cross, " the great centre of human existence." Which is the most agreeable travelling—underground or overground 1 Few passengers would doubt which to choose. The levels of the stations are also against under ground communication. No one who could go from Charing-cross on a level to Cannon-street on a level, would choose to go down a flight of stairs to a station to have to mount a second flight at another station. On all these considerations it appears that for a short distance, as, for example, between the West-end and the City, the line from Charing-croas to Cannon-street over the Thames is likely to be more popular than a line from West = isster-bridge to Cannon-street, under the Thames. In point et time, there are equal reasons to doubt how far such a railway as that laid out would be ituoceseful The Metropolitan Railway from Far. ingdon-street to Paddington, 31 miles in length, and with five intermediate stations, is worked from end to end in 20 minutes. This, as was observed by the Select Committee of the House of Lord's is a wonderfully quick speed, considering that each station requires at least three-quarters of a minute to approach, one minute for detention, and three qiarters of a minute for departure—equal to two and a half adman in the whole for stoppage. One half the time occupied over the Metropolitan hoe is, therefore, occupied in station stoppages.

About 100 persons sat down to tea, including members, their wives and children. The room was metefolly dercireted, premonit ion a very gay and animated appearance. After tea an in teresting eatertaioment, with pianoforte accompanintem, was given, interspersed with speeches short and sweet. Mr. Kremer aoly presid d at the pianoforte, and nearly an the recitations, solos, and part songs were well reedited by the members of the club. Altogether the meeting won a ascot homely aspect, and afforded more the appearance of some two or three families joining in an evening party than a public entertainment. A vote of thanks to Mr. Carbines for presiding brought the intonation proceedings to a close. RAILWAV BENEVOLENT INBTITOTIOIe. The widows' and orphans' day of this society affords an oppor tunity to those who are in the habit of travelling, for remembering and aiding the distress which must always exist amongat so large and useful a body of public servants. New Year's-day is always set apart for making collections in aid of the funds of this institution, which is the mesas of mitigating the sufferings of many deserving families. Nod men are indebted to railway officer for many little acts of attaining which have added to their comfort, and will be glad of an opportunity to return • donation to the , funds of this institution in acknowledgment of their kW DOM. The various station-musters are authorised by the institution to receive any contribution which may be tendered for the heart of this valuable charity. The Hospital fur Women, Soho-square, founded is 1842, and designed exclusively for the treatment of those peculiar ailments from which neither age, rank, nor charm ter exempts the female sex, was re-opeued on Wednesdal, when a number of addressee were given in the wards by several noblemen and gentlemen. From the statement issued it appears that as the building required extrudes repairs, and the committee were desirous of providing fur ther accommodation for in-patients, it was determined to add another story ; hut the walla being unequal to sustain the additional weight had to be taken down and rebuilt. Prior to the alterations only 25 in-patients could be received at once, with • )early average of 13.5 ; now 50 in-patients can be accommodated. The average attendance of out petiolate annually is 14,000. The committee are earnestly appealing for foods to enable them to discharge their liabi lities, and provide for the occupation of all the new wards. PATTERN Post TO ITALY.—TO-RIOITOW (Jan. 1), and thseceforward, patterns of merchandise, similar to those already transmissible by post between any places in the United Kingdom at reduced rates, may be trans mitted by poet from England to Italy, at the following rates of postage, which must in all cases be prepaid by means of poetsge ramps, :—Not exceeding 4 or , 4d, ; above 4 or. and sot exceeding t lb., Bd. ; abov e t lb. and not exceeding 1 lb., is. 4d. ; above 1 lb. and not exceeding it lb., 2s. above It lb. sod sot exceeding 2 lbs., 2 s .

This rule excludes all articles of • saleable nature, and. indeed, whatever may have a value of its own, apart from its mere nee as a pattern ; and the quantity of arty material, sent ostensibly as a pattern, must not be ex great that it OM fairly be considered r having, on this prod, an ietriasic value. 3.

Non-compliance with this rule will also subject the packet to be detained, or forwarded charged as an unpaid letter. 5. Is all other respects the regulations of the book post to Italy will apply to the pattern post. Under thus regulations, in order to prevent any interruption to the regular transmission of letters, • packet of patterns may, when it is necessary be kept back for 24 hours beyond the time when. in the ordinary course, it would be for warded.

The Cumin's/4 mid it appeared from the statement sent out that the Luida disposed of up to the 31st of October were not quite equal to thane of the reading year up to dame time. The price also was not no large, but that was easily easily amounted for, because they bad parted with a greet deal more of the crown reserves than woad, which were inferior in quality to the land of the Huron district. The receipts for the year were not so large as in any pre , omdleg year, which was pertly to be amounted for, became they had not so much leased land which bad to be re , deemed in 1963. Of the land which ought to be converted into freehold in 1863, 10,000 acres reverted to the com pany, and for the mat part bad been resumed by them. Not more than 8,000 acme had been converted into freehold. Therefore they lied lost—not property, but the receipt of money this year. The land would be offered for sale again this year. Since the statement was sent out to the pro prietors later amounts bad been received, from which it appeared that 50 acres of land in addition had been sold at 12s. 6d. ; 1,075 leaned, at 40s. Bd. ; and 200 tourtriM4 at 62a. 6d. In 1864 a coulderaide quantity of land would be falling dm, which must be converted or forfeited. Some 19,576 acres would have to be converted in 1864, which would produce 37,58.'1. currency. Stringent letters had been sent to the agoras in Canada to get in some of the large arrears of rental due. These arrears amounted to 53,8364, and their annual rental was 30,0004 Mr. Strick land visited the lands, and found on them 930 squatters. Them persons might have given them trouble, but they all signed an acknowledgment that they were squatters, and that the land did not belong to them. The tenants promised to reduce the arrears of rant after the sale of the crops of last harvest. Some specimens of each ore—copper, iron, and plumbago— lad been found, and the land no which it was found was withdrawn tram male, and in all leases • reservation of the minerals, with the exception of gold and silver, which were reserved for the crown, was made. 1,920 acres ware reserved in the township of Ramey, where, ,es they were aware, mining overshoes were tamed .oe. In Ave other towlehips 21,469 acres were reserved. With re gard to the dividend, they bed scarcely money enough to pay I 4 per share, but with 53,000/. of arrears of rent due, and 30,0001. which would come to hand in February next, he thought they might borrow a small sum of 1,0004 to make up the deficiency, in order to pay the dividend. He did not say they would have to do so, but that they might. The recommendation of the directors, therefore, was that • dividend of V. per share. free of income tax, be made, pay able on the 11th of January, on 8,913 shares. A motion having been made to this effect, it was adopted. There were two candidates for the *Moe of director, in the room of Mr. Gillespie, deceased—viz., Mr. Gaumen and Sir W. Gore-Oueeley —and • poll was taken. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. NEW RAILWAY PROJECTS. ffi " RAILWAYMITROTLITAIT EXTENSIONS' AND "INNER CIRCLE." • The " Metropolitan Railway Company" propose two extensions of their system—a line, upon the east, from Finsbury-circus to Tower-hill, and a line, upon the wait, from Paddington, through Bayswater, to Notting-hill, and from thence to Alfred-plate, Bromptun, in front of the South Kensington Museum. It has been already observed of both these extensions that they effect no junc tions with any other hues of railway, and that they therefore can bring no goods traffic from other ;nes upon the Metropolitan system. They are 1..1th laid out to pass through very valuable pro- rty, especially the extension on the west ; and refore they will both have to be made at gnat • Tower-hill is not a place of great resort from t r West-sod ; and not many people would think ing round by King's-cross and Euston-square, her to reach Brampton from the Bank of Eng t. These extensions, therefore, if they stood a! vould be purposeless, involving an immense titre without prospect of equivalent ad- ail THIS EMPRESSi TIHMSDAN EVENING, DECEMBER -3/, 1863. Inner Circle Railway will be a circle of 10 miles, with 21 stations. This distance can scarcely be performed under au hour and a half. An omnibus will perform the distance from Kensington to the Bank within the hour, and a cab much within the ' hour. From Finsbury to Kensington station, the railway with seven miles and ten stations could scarcely do the journey in less time; and therefore the only saving that could be effected would be the saving of expense, which means that the railway must compete with the omnibus at omnibus fares. Take the Inner Circle line from Euston-square to Charing-cross. Eastwards, the communication would cover 71 1 miles of ground, with 12 inter mediate stations, and the passenger would have to walk iron, Euston-square to Gower-street at one end, and from Waterloo-bridge or Westminster bridge to Charing-cross Station at the other end, with staircases to ascend or descend at both ends. A direct line through would convey the passenger in two miles with only two stoppages, and with junctions between train and train at both termini. Can there be any doubt which would be preferred I From King's-craw to Victoria Station the Great Northern and the London, Chatham, and Dover are seeking to establish a communication across Blackfriars-bridge. That would be a through communication, with 8 intermediate stations, the passenger being brought into both stations on the level. The Inner Circle line would be shorter, but that line would have 9 intermediate stations, and at Victoria the communication would be imperfect, as there is no junction. Scarcely anytime, therefore, would be saved in the route from station to station; whilst if the object of the passenger were to pass from the northern to the southern, rather than to the western suburbs of the metropolis, the route by Blackfriars would, in every respect, be preferable. Having, then, in view all the various objects to be accomplished by a metropolitan inner system-- first, facility of communication with the lines which enter London ; second, facility of communication from east to west ; and, third, direct communica tion between the lines of railway north and south of the Thames, it can scarcely be thought that the Inner Circle laid out and supported by the Metro politan Railway affords the best and easiest means of accomplishing the objects which it is desirable to obtain for the relief of our streets or for facili tating our intercourse. Looking at the stations already established at Kensington, at Victoria street, at Charing-cross, at Blackfriant, and at Cannon-street, surely something better may be done than this. irarAL AND XILITA.RY.

They had since been turned away, but all they required was protection, and for their mother to God a home for them. The three young ladies were in court, sad attracted con siderable notice. They are tall, he looking young women, and appeared to conduct themselves with peat propriety. The eoniplainant, Prances Elizabeth, aged 18 years, was examined while her sisters remained in one of the ante rooms. She said she did not know her right name. She bad been called Ackfoed and Tollemache. She and her sisters went to reside with their mother on the sth instant.

Yesterday the official inspection of this impor tant metropolitan railway was made by Captain Tyler, R.E., the government inspector, previous to tbe almost im mediate opening of the line for pameoger traffic. The in 'pestles, which was of a most rigid character, commenced at the western extremity, or Charing-cross end of the rail way, • number of gentlemen connected with the Charing cross and South Eastern Railways being present, among whom were Mr. Eborall, the general manger • Mr. Knight, the traffic superintendent ; Messrs. Stanton ;ad Bany, for Mr. Hawkshaw ; Mr. Wythee, the contractor ' • the Duke of Suthselsod, Major Malcolm, R.E., inapector of Indian Railways; Mr. Walker, the telegraphic superintendent ; Mr. Cockburn, the superintendent of the Chaneg.croes station, ha About twelve o'clock the train, consietteg of • fine lo comotive and two of the new first-class carriages belonging to the South Eastern Railway, left the Chinni-amend of the line, and proceeded gently along the down rail to the juoc thin at the Waterloo-road, when • minute scrutiny of the sipals (Saxby's patent) and the points was made by the inspector. At the points here • scotch or block has been placed, worked by the same lever which moves the points, so that a train can be immediately stopped at the points, and prevented from running on to the main line by one movement of the lever by she pointeemin io the signal box. After some time had been spent at this point, the train =on its way to London-bridge, passing the new • station, which is provided with two axle and one central platform, lighted by globular lamps similar to those as the Metropolitan Railway. The whole of the signals, tsnuM stations , and permanent way were carefully examined Captain Tiler, who, we believe. expressed his satiable with many of the arrangements, and on the arrival of the train at Loudon-bridge, the party alighted, and th e ia @pocky proceeded to the junction with the main line, which Insanely inspected, together with the working of the points. The new line at London-bridge runs into the Greenwich and North and Mid Kent terminus, from which platform the trains for Charing-cross and the intermediate stations of Waterloo and Blackfrisrs will be started. It was nearly five o'clock before the examination at this sod of the line was completed, and the train then made a return trip along the up line of rails, pausing for • few momenta at Black friars and Waterloo, over the Thames Bridge to Charing aces, and running up alongside the platform, which was lighted RR the occasion with the globular lamps which have been 'applied to all the stations. Here the inspection, which had lasted nearly six hours, terminated. Before leaving the officials who had accompanied him, Captain Tyler expressed his desire to go over the line once more in order to see that some Improvements suggested by him are carried out ; consequently, the Charing-cress Railway will not be opened to-morrow (New Year's Day), as was at first expected. It will, however, be ripened for public traffic on Tuesday or Wednesday next, should Captain Tyler's in struction in the Interim be carried out to his satisfaction. The first trains which w ill be run will be between the Charing cram terminus and the Greenwich and North and Mid Kent terminus, at Loedoirbridge, thus opening a communication between the country intersected by those lines and the West-end of London. It is not intended for the present to run trains from Charingcrose over the main line, we under stand, but that thin will soon follow is • matter of course. The through farm for a tingle journey between Charingcroes and Lotidon.bridge will lee—lst class, fid.- 2.d class, 4d.; 3rd clam, 3d.; the equivalent return fares being 9d.,641., and 4d. The intermediate fares will probably, for a single *rosy, be 4d., 3d., and 2d. ; these latter ratan* not quite settled yet. METROPOLITAN RAILWAYS AND INPROVILNINTS.— Mr. Stanford, the map publisher, of Charing-cuss, has I barred an excellent Map of London and its Eavirome, on which are laid down the metropolltaa railways and im proverneuta for which bills were,deposited at the Private Bill-office on the 30th November, 1363. The existing and sanctioned boa' are marked in black, so as to be easily dietiognished from one another, and the new lines are coloured red. As there never were so masy lines projected in and about Loodon as now, as there is no quarter which is not marked out fur attack, and as there is reason to believe that many quiet citizens are wholly unaware of the perturbations in store for them, the new map bu an in terest for the public at large, and should be consulted in this.. There could ant be • better companion to the num.- roue articles we have lately publudiect so the projeced metropolitan and suburban railways. THE PROPOSED OXFORD-STREET RAILWAY.— Lest evening • public meeting of the inhabitant. of Oxford- Aron and its neighbourhood was held at the Court-house, Marylebone-lane, for the purpose of opposing • bill to come before parliament in the ensuing emeimi, entitled "The Ox ford-street and City Railway Bill," which authorises its pro- moters to construct an underground railway from the Marble-arch to Farringdon- s t ree t , p ass i ng underneath the whole distance of Oxford-street. Mr. Peter Graham occu pied the chair, and the spacious Court- house was com pletely filled by those interested in the question. The chairman having opened the proceedings, Mr. Burgoyne moved a resolution to the effect that the making of the railway in question would be destructive t o th e t ra d e of Oxford-street, and ruinous to • large proportion of Nu resi dents. Mr. Field seconded the resolution, which was agreed to unanimously. Messrs. Michell, Gotta, Whitmore, Hindley. Galaworthy, and others addressed the meeting in opposition to the scheme, and resolutions were also adopted calling on the Metropolitan Board of Works, the vestry of Maryieboos, and the vestries of the adjacent t o oppose the bill by all the means in their power. r. icholay said as there preseutative of Marylebone at • Board of Works he would take ears that the whole facts of the cam should be laid before that body, who by a meet' act had the power of refusing their assent to any plan they thought damaging to the metropolis, or nay portion thereof.

Emily Kelly, an attenuated and scantily dressed girl, about 15 years of age, was charged with startling a gown, valve Is., the property of James Tyler, in a small way of business as a babenlasher and made-up articles, in Chick. sand-street, Spitalfielda. Prosecutor proved that the girl had entered his shop, made • • small purchase, and while his back war turned secreted • woman's gown beneath her own, that he dis covered the theft, pursued her into soother shop, whets she flung the article behind the counter, and that he then gave her into custody, as numerous robberies of a like descrip tion had, although but of alight value singly, made him a great sufferer on the whole. Prisoner mildly admitted her guilt, but on being questioned as to the circumstances sod pursuits of herself sad family suddenly became strangely evited, clasping her hands and pacing the dock, energetically declaring at the MIMS time that her mother was dying at home, and that distress had prompted the robbery in question, that she might purchase food with the produce. The tone and master in which these assertions were made Weedy impressed all who heard her with belief in their truthfulness, and Police-constable 120 H was di rected to uoartain immediately the facts.

Her father she bad never known. Os the constable's return be stated that the poor girl's account of her mother and the destitute condition of the home was correct —at least the woman was very iU. Prosecutor, on hearing this, instantly expressed his in tention not to press the charge, but had scarcely does so when prisoner arid a girl, who afterwards said she was her sister, and who had returned with the policeman, raised their hands, and implored every blessing on his head.

Mr. Jahn James Barlow was charged with the following disgraceful behaviour at the house of a lady considered to be in • dying state. The prosecution was supported by Mr. Dodd, solicitor, who went into very lengthy details of the relations io which the lady and defendant had stood, and his habits and ordi nary conduct, which had given rise to the present cam. plaint. The defendant was an officer in the navy in former years, and he and his mother—a lady of the greatest re , pectility —had long been on terms of friendship, and had visited at the house of Mrs. Barker, a lady of property, in ' Ooslow-square, but circumstance; had arisen which had' compelled Mrs. Barker and family to forbid him the house. He was io the habit of getting intoxicated, and while in that state wrote threatening letters, and went to the house, where he made great disturbances. Every remonstrance which kindness could suggest had been used to induce the defendant to keep away from the house, but without soccer. Mr. Dodd had himself, in kindness, as the lady's solicitor, endeavoured to prevent • repetition of the annoyances to which she had been subjected, but defendant, although quiet enough when sober in the morn ing, got drunk by night, and then visited Mrs. Barker's house. On the 7th and Bth inst. particularly he was there, and in consequence of the continued clamour end disturbance he made • warrant was obtained against him, and he was taken to the Hammersmith Police Court last Saturday, when he was held to bail, himself in 1001. and two sureties in 1001. each to keep the pesos. nether* was • desire to grant the defendant every indulgence, his mother and • panne having charge of her lodgings were accepted as bail, although not eligible io point of law. Oo Sunday night, notwithstanding these proceed. iar, the defendant again presented himself at the house and matted a fresh disturbance, and the family and Hr. vents bad deemed it imperative upon them for the safety of Mn. Barker to give him into custody. Mrs. Barker was in a most deplorable and lamentable stets of illness. lying upon • bed from which she was never likely to rise again ; her sleeping apartment was in front of the house, adthe disturbeoce made by the defendant was likely to hareem her malady or produce fatal results. Defendant came on Tuesday sight in a Hansom cab, and was, se usual, drunk. He pretended he wanted to see the lady's maid, although there was no pretence for doing so, and when told that she could not beaten that night, declared he would not 'leave till he did see her, used threata, and made such a dis turbance that the police was sent for. Dr. Christian, the medical attendant of the lardy, was now present, and would show that Mrs. Barker's condition required that the de fendant should be restraieed. Mr. Self. (to defendant)—What have you to say ? Defeudeot—l have nothing to say. lam d isg raced by being in such • position as the present, and really don t know what to say. Mr. Belfe—lt is no use to bind the defendant over to keep the peace. He is already under reoeguiemices which have been estreated. Dofendant—Will you tats my solemn assurance that I will not repeat this ? Mr. S.Ue—No, I will not. You gave an undertaking not to repeat this when at Hammerman on Saturday, and you have broken it. You have been guilty of conduct an becoming an officer and a gentleman, and I can see no mato why you should not be treated like other defendants of a lower degree, having forfeited your position as • gentle man. I shall convict you without • fine for five days to the House of Correction, end I shall require such secority for three months as shall satisfy me that the lady is pro tected. THAMM. Mr. William Giles, of Centoa.place, called the attention of the magistrate to • cue of great urgency, where ► Door Irishman named Jeremiah Mahon had been waylaid and Dearly murdered by his countryman, Brian Dunn. The wounded man wee in great pain, and he had to request that the Due should be at once investigatrd. Mr. Woolrych —Certainly. Let the prisoner be at once put in the dock.

Inspector Philip Beare, of the K division, said be caused the prisoner to be apprehended on Tuesday night, and was informed that the man he had waylaid and in jured was not likely to survive. Mr. Robert Nightingale, M.D., surgeon and apothecary, of Commercial-tartaric& L imehonse. said he was called upon to attend Jeremiah Mahon on Monday night, at half-past sine o'clock, and found he had received a most extensive lacerated wound in the left eye, which penetrated the globe of the eye.

Mr. Giles maid— I consider the life of the poor non in great peril. I don't think he will recover. There is a deep cot over the eyelid. Bridget Mahon, of No. 1, Jamaica piece, Liroebouse, said her husband was brought home on Monday night by his brother and another man with his eye broken, and he had been very ill ever since. Thomas Ward, • hammerman, stated that on Monday evening he was in Thomas-street, Limehouse, and saw the prisoner come from hie own place and strike Mabon • blow with a brick on the eye. It was a very heavy blow, and Mahon fell to the groutd insensible, and did not move for some time afterwards. The pnwmer, who wee very Teethes, mule no dehisce, sad Mr. Wee Web remanded him for a week. A lady who wassimenToiTed in the name of Elizabeth ToUemache. of Shaftesbury-terrsos, Kensiogton, appeared before Yr. Ingham to %newer the complaint of her daugh ter, Frances Elizabeth ToUemache, for committing an assault upon her by kicking her in the hock. Mr. Sayer, from the office of Mr. E. Lewis, of Marto rough-street, wbo appeared in support of the summons, detailed to hie worship • connexion which had existed between Lord Buntiogtower and the defendant. H. said that about twenty jean ago his lordship, who was thee the Honourable Mr. Tollentache, while is Scotland, formed • connexion with the defendant. A Scotch merrier, took oleos, and the three young ladies who were now prevent were the issue. For onto tine big lordship allowed los 004 • you to keep At the Rotherham Police-court on Tuesday, a lengthened investigation took place into the alleged ill-treat ment of • woman named Mary Ann Bennett, aged twenty eight, who had been confined by her father and step. mother for a number of yearn. The father is the fore man of extensive ironworks at Parkpte, and lives on the premises. The case bat excited great indignation in the neighbourhood, and the court-house and yard were crowded with spectators. Mrs. Museroft, • neighbour, stated that on the 19th instant the alleged lunatic ran to her house for protection. Her clothing was in a most filthy state, her hair wee matted, her legs bruised and bloody, her eves and arms discoloured, and her lips swollen. She said "the old lass" (her stepmother) had done it, adding that the woman had struck her on the face with the coal-rake, and bad frequently beaten her with other weapons during the preceding week. The poor creature was in such a horrid state that witness could hardly believe at first it was a human being to whom she was speaking. Police. sergeant Horse stated that in of informa. tion from Mrs. Muscroft be visi Bennett's house OD the 20th instant. The young woman was called, at his request, from a back place. She was covered with rap, in such • condition that she had to hold them together to prevent them falling off. The officer also spoke to the appearance of the bruises on various parted the young woman's body. He noticed that the ends of her matted hair had been burnt. The stepmother said the young woman had burnt it herself. The witness went into the poor creature's bedroom, which he described as • small recess oaths stain. It was in a most filthy state. What was need as her bed was little else than a heap of filth. There was a blanket upon it, but so filthy that he could only tell it by the feel ; and the stench of the place was me overpowering that be was obliged to leave. The young woman's person was in the same filthy state as the rags with which she was covered. Horne asked when she was washed, and the stepmother said she had orders from the 'father never to clean or to do anything (mbar. This evidence was gives in order that the magistrates might grant summonses for the attendance of the parents. Other witnesses were in waiting, and • paper was put in signed by • number of men employed under Ba•nett, offering to give evidence as to the cruelty he and his wife had practised towards their daughter. Dr. Hardwick, the union surgeon, who had been instructed to examine the young woman as to her sanity, some days after she had been seen by Home, denied that abe was bruised, or that there was a filthy room in the house. She was evidently . • person of feeble intellect, but he was unable to say from one interview whether or not she was insane; but he thought she was not. The bench, after bearing the evidence, decided to grant summonses against the father and stepmother. The young woman was pre sent, and upon being 'eked if she would return to her father's house, she said, "No, my mother has threatened to knock my brains out." She was removed to the work house. Tee cue will be gone into next Monday. The crowd were so indignant that the parents narrowly escaped severe handling as they left the court-house. It is stated that the young woman has been strictly confined in the place described by the witness Home for many years. THE COMMON LAW OancEs.—Yeaterday bug nisi was resumed at the common law *Sees. Meek*, s' chambers were re-opened, but there will be so attandaace of the learned judges until Saturday, to which day the summonses made returnable were adjourned. THE SUSPECTED MURDER BY ACONITL—Last evening Mr. Jobs Humphrey*, Middlesex coroner, reamed at the Grey Eagle Tavern, Grey Pegle-street, Spitallbelds, the investigation into the circumstances of the death of Mrs. Eliza Maros, aged 34 years, who was supposed to have died from the effects of aconite. Mr. Pilbraw, constable, stated to the coroner that several parishiouers had gives him information, and were prepared to peeve that the party who was summed to have gone to Dr. Beulay's surgery had Mace that time dyed his moustache and whiskers. It was also stated that Mr. Richards, after the court had closed upon the previous occasion, had stated that having had an opportunity of seeing Mr. Beech, nearer than before, bad i recognised him as the man. It was found, however, that ' Mr. Richards was not now in attendance. but he mut a tele gram confirming the accuracy of this statement. The coroner said that even if they could actually trace aconite into the house of the deceased woman, and could prove that it had been purchased by a party in the house, a verdict of wilful murder would result in no good to the ends of justice, but perhaps the reverse, as it would close the came, and so shut out any further evi dence. For though Dr. Isitheby's evidence went to prove that deceased bad died from aconite, yet no conviction could be obtained, as the poison being volatile no trace was actually discovered, and those surrounding the doomed at the time of her death had not, in consequence of their minds cot being directed to the action of this poison, given that minute attention to the symptoms that would be ne cessary for legal porpoises. The best course to adopt under the cuennistaooris, it being c:early proved that deceased had not died a natural death, would be to return a verdict that would leave the matter still open for the action of the police. The jury after some deliberation returned the fol lowing verdict:—•' That the deceased Flirt Marna died meals* at No. 34, Grey Eagle-street, Spitallields, on the 20th day of November, and the jurors do further say that her said death did not arise from natural causes." THE JEWISH MARRIAGE CASE.-10 the cage of " the Queen v. Henry Davis," it will be recollected that the defendant was indicted for procuring a marriage license from Doctors' Commons at the Central Criminal Court, and that the indictment was subsequently removed by writ of certiorari into the Court of Queen's Bench. Stoop the re moval of the indictment the prcescutor, Mr. Littler, the lather of the young lady, presented a petition to the Attorney-General for leave to enter a none protequi to the indictment in order to abandon the same, and after hearing the several parties interested in the matter, including the father of the lady and th e father of the defendant, the learned Attorney-General granted the fiat, and a 'toile prosequi has just been entered, it being shown that the young coo le were living happily together. DESPERATE AFFRAY WITH POACHERS.—A despe rate affray with poachers occurred during Saturday night last, is the preserves of Lord Bolingbroke, of Lydiard Park, in Wiltshire. It appears that two of the keepers were out on the night in question, when they observed (fur it was very light) a net fixed to a gate, and • dog best ing the hedge. The keepers shot the animal, but imme diately afterwards • lame bend of poachers, both men and women, made their appearance, surrounded the keepers, and commenced • furious attach, the women urging on the men. Another watcher approached during the attack, and the ruffians, on hearing his • footsteps, im mediately decamped, leaving the two keepers most seriously injured, and coveted with wounds and bruises. Assistance was obtained, the wounded keepers conveyed to their houses, and information was given to the police, who the ; same night apprehended seven men, whose clothes and boots I were very dirty. and sprinkled with blood. Coder medical ' treatment the keepers, considering the very serious injuries they have received, are programing favourably. Thepri toners were taken before the Swindon magistrates on Tuesday, and remanded. The keepers are able to identify I acme of their amailants.— Wetter,' Daily Press.
