train had been provided, and a telegraphic message had just been received, which stated that the messenger was on the road, and would be at Maidstone by one o'clock. The mes senger shortly afterwards arrived with the deed, and the Attorney-General having cairn ned the stamp said that he had now no objection to the reception of the deed. The Attorney-General then proceeded to address the jury for the defendant, and he commenced his ohsorvations by calling upon them, in the first place, to consider the circual 'tames under which the preaeat and all the other actions that had been tried and those which still remained to be disposed of had been brought. He appeared for a lady who had been in undisturbed pcemesion of this property for a great num ber et years. And within only a few days of the period when by law all interference with her title would have been pre vented by tepee of time these actions were brought, and the parties who sought to disposers her did not pretend that they had any title, or were interested in the question, the real mortgagee, having the right to gaits 'sufficient property to eover all advances made by them ,• and it was quite clear that the proceedings were adored solely to obtain from the defendant a cruel and ruinous amount of costs. Appearing, therefore, as he did, for a lady placed in such a position, he and his learned friends hod felt it their duty to take every technical objection to the produc tion of the documentary evidence that had been brought forward to make out a case w hich would have the effect of ta king away from her that prverty which had been in the peaceable poasession of herself and family for many years. The Attorney-General then proceeded to take an historical review of the subject of the gavelkind tenure, which he said was the established common law of the county of Kent, not only at the time of legal memory, but before th e conquest, and he cited authoriti,s in support of this obeenation. With reference to the documentary evidence that had been produced to show that the property in question had been taken out of the operation of the common law, he submitted that it rested entirely upon presumption, and in an elaborate, ingenious, and, as was admitted by all who heard it, moat able manner, he contended that the documents which were most relied on as making out that the property was not held subject to gavelkind tenure, almost equally had the effect of showing the contrary, or that, at all events, great doubt must prevail upon the point. He I eferrod to a great number of these documents, end read extracts from others, which he said he should put in evidence in support of his argu ment, and reminded the jury that the presumption of law was always in favour of a person in possession of property, if any doubt was raised, and he concluded a very eloquent address by again remindiog the jury that the defendant had been in undisturbed possession of the property for a great number of years, and that the only effect of the evidence for the plaintiff was to raise a presumption, which they were called upon to give effect to, that by a tech nicality defendant's right to the property might be de stroyed.—The various documents referred to bythe Attorney General were then put in evidence, and at the conclusion of the case for the defence the cause was again adjourned until this (Saturday) morning.

The prosecutor, having missed the potatoes in question, traced footsteps from his own door to the house of the nisoner, which was hard by : and, on going in, he found the articles he hid misard, which were immediately delivered up to him by the prisoner, who stated he was keeping thtm till they were claimed, as he had found them at his door on the previ o us night. In his de fence now, the prisoner h..nded in the leaf of a Bible, con taining the Ist and 2nd verses of the 22nd chapter of Deuteronomy, which were to the effect, " that if a brother's ox or sheep went astray, they should be taken in and kept by the finder until the loser should seek them when they were to be restored to him."—The learned Judge stated it to be his opinion that the text in question was not an feeds nut or improper defence—The prisoner was Acquitted.

RIOUT TO STOP GOODS IN TRANSITU.—The plaintiffs are wool merchants at Leeds ; the defendant is a wool mer chant in London, and the action was brought to recover the value of 22 bags of wool, which the plaintiffs, claiming them as their property, said had been wrongly seized, and which were withheld from them by the defendant. On the 12th February, 1847, a pees al named Wilkinson, who car ried on business as a wool merchant and manufacturer at Bradford, bought • quantity of wool of the defendant, through the agency of Mr. Hebert Pollock, who resided at Leeds. The number of sheets purchued amounted to 50, and it was agreed that they should be sent by railway from Lon don to Mr. Wilkinson at Bradford. Thiswaa communicated to the defendant, but instead of sending them by this mode of wmmunication, he sent only 28 skeet& to Bradford, the re maining 22 being forwarded from the Gun and Shot-wharf, Londoe, by sea. These sent by railway were delivered on the 25th of February, but the othen never reached their destination, having been stopped at Goole by the defendant. The plaintiffs dealt with Mr. Wilkinson in the way of his trade. Wilkinson had bought this wool as carded wool, but before the 22 sheetahad arrived at Goole the market for such description of wool had become dull. The plaintiffs had sold some combing wool to Wilkinson before the above transac• tion took place, and early in March they agreed to ►ell him a further lot worth about 6001., and it was agreed that Wilkinson should eel the carded wool he expected from the defendant to the plaintiffs, and that it should be taken on the amount between the parties. On the 26th of March, a notice war sent to Mr. France, whaninger at Leeds and Goole, to deliver the wool to the plaintiff:, and on the 27th the same gentleman received a notice from the defendant to detain the goods, and to hold them for him, and hence it was that the present claim arose. The learned counsel contended that, inasmuch as the de fendant had failed in fulfilling the original contract, and in delivering the goods according to the terms agreed upon whereby he was to for. ard the whole by railway, ho had no 'eget stoppage in tranaitu. The plaintiff's case having been closed, Mr. Martin submitted that there was no case to go to the jury.—The learned Baron was of a similar opinion, observing that he thougnt the defendant had a right to stop the goods in transitu.—The plaintiff's were consequently non suited. Mown Corm.—Berure Mr. Boron Rolfe. TSB FOROEttY AT LEEDS.—Akzander Bien/ditto/fp, who was found guilty at the last winter gaol delivery of forgery, and whose sentence was cot then passed, in conse quence of a question being raised for the decision of the twelve judges, was this morning called up for judgment, and sentenced to be transported for 10 )cars. MllliDElt AT FUWEATHER.-o.Calottl, 38, T. Hodge on, 28, and J. Mellor, 22, were charged with the wilful murder of William Wood, at Faweatber, near Bradford, on the 18th of December last ; th ey were al so charged on a second in. dictment with committing a burglary in the dwelling house of the said William Wood. The prisoners severally pleaded not guilty.—The statement of the case by Mr. Hall was chiefly supported by the following depoeition of the murdered man, which was put in and read: I am a farmer at Fawesther, near Bingley. I live by my self, and farm a little land there. About nine o'clock on the night of Friday, the 17th of December, 1 went to bed having ant barred the house. Soon after one o'clock I head something at the window on the geouud floor. I got up out of bed, and took a hedge-knife with me down stain without a light, it being moonlight. I saw four men. I saw the window had been taken out. I struck ono of the men without saying anything, but did not hit him as I could have wished. I asked them what they wanted, and Calvert, I think, paid they wanted money. They got hold of me, threw ins down, and beat use with sticks. Their faces were blacked. They kept me up end down, tossing and striking me for about a quarter of an hour. I got out into the garden, and they came after me, and got hold of me. I had a st ruggle with them at the garden hedge. We struggled over the hedge, and one of their caps came off in my hand. They got me down, beat me, and said, " Kill him—kill him." 1 left the knife in the house when I escaped from them. I have never seen it since. When they had beat me so that I could no longer defend myself they carried me into the house, and laid me down while they plundered the house. I had about a pound's worth of silver in my pocket, and three or four six pences. They took this money, and some eggs from a basket. They stopped in the house about a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes. After they had gone I got up stairs, and, having dressed myself, I left the house and went to John Denby's, the next nearest house. I had to take hold of the wall all the way, I was so weak and bruised. I am sure Calvert, Hodgson, and Mellor are three of the four men who were present In the house and in the field. —Mr. Pollard, a magistrate, was then examined: Saw de ceased on the 30th of January, when he took his dying declaration, which was in substance the same as his deposi tion taken before the magistrates. Perhaps the most ma terial additional fact was that a coal rake, as well on sticks, was used to strike him with ; that altogether they were fighting him, is and out of the house, for nearly two hours, and that there were four men, one of whom he did not know.—After some further evidence the voluntary state ment of tieorge Calvert, made on the 25th of February, while a prisoner in York Castle, was read We went to Mr. Wood's hone* wh ' in we thought he would be at Bradford market, which was about half-past ten in the forenoon. Hodgson and Mellor went to the door, and found Mr. Wood standing near it. 'they asked him to sell them some milk. He replied he had sone. and asked them where they came from. They told bun from Bingley. We then left the house. I then said I would try to beg some churn milk of Naylor, who lived on Me Moonside. We then went to Naylor's, and 1 asked him to glee me some churn milk, which he did. Naylor or some person is the house, asked me what we were about. We then parted, and I went home. Samuel Nowell came to my house some days ate.. l then told him that I intended to rob Wood's home, but that I boa rather go where More was something to eat. He said he wanted nothing to est ; they had rather have some brut% and the dz could not swear to it. Some days after this! Hodpon, Now 4 Mellor came to my home, and asked me to go with them to Mt Mr. Wood's house. I mid it wan too noon; that they would Waal* ass, and come and sears %my house. They replied there was people walking up and down; how could they swear to me gi . ea ßey then said would I go. I said well I must, as I want a sovereign to pay my rent; they have marked my goods, and if I could p a y sawreden he would perhaps let ate off a while We then all tour set o ff . It would be about half -past past eleven at night. When we arrived there I wee afraid to go in, and we went into some out-buildings. They said, 0 When we have come, what ia the me of being afraW • let us go up like men." We then tried the door, but could not get in. I then went to the window. A part of it was wood, which ! tried to bite out. In so doing the wood fell Into the house, and made a noise. Thomas Hodgson then came up, and sent the rest of the window into the house with his stick, which made a great noise. i then ran awa y, but the hedge stopped me. Then one of them came and seized ow by the coat, and said they thought 1 ads be:ter game than to do so. Thomas Hodgson went into the linum first. I can't say which of us followed biro. but we all went Thos. Ilerdipon and Mr. .Food had a „ uw e e berate we got in. When 1 got up to him, he was fighting with two of them. I got hold of wood, and salted st • km ix a tew sovereigns. but be gave us no answer to the de -at least I did Etot hear him. I then tried to light • Incifer.rcatch, but he (Wood) knocked it out as fast as I Ughted u Ifs then ran away into another MOM, and said we might !I Weenie bond ; and Moller end me sought for something to eat, but could thid nothing bat milk. Mr. Wood them ran into tie garden, and got over the well. Metier, Hodgson, and Nowell ran after him on the ether side of the wall, to meet him at the thd of it ; and I ren dim him. And we !domicil t d just outside of the garden. I end Mellor stood by bins till ilgson and NoweU wont to and searched the house. I wanted the old man to go into the home agsin, and said he would get cold ; but he refused, and so ld be wanted to go to Denby's. lie then went Met with us. and Nowell and llonbut stood by him, while me and Mellor searched the boom over skn, we could dad DO money. But I found a pothetthook, which w gg ere somes papers. One pieced paper I thought pocky bill. which I took h but it was only a spice bill and eg g s money—at least they told me so. We then got some sugar, eg,sod cheem.--Osolusa Cthvcar, his 04 mork.—Witnese, J. Nos. Some further unimportant evidence concluded the cue for the prosecutien.—Mr. Matthews having finished his address in behalf of the prisoners,C elect wee asked if he had anything to my, and he replied, " No, sir ; I only beg for mercy from them."—Mr. Baron noire then summed up, end the jury retired ; after an absence of twenty minutes, they re. turned into curt, with a verdict reof Guilty against Calvert and Mellor, and of Guilty as gards Hodgson. Hodg son having been ordered to stand down, the judge assumed the black cap, and passed sentence of death upon the other two convicts. Hodgson was then arraigned on the indictment for the burglary, but as thelljury were not Wished ea to his identity as to the murder, they of coarse could not convict him of the beirglery. He was then discharged. MIDDLESEX SESSION S. Before Mr. fiteant Adams, the Assistant Judge. THE BATTLE OP TRAFALGAR-SC/HAILE.— ✓ones, W. Lever, 16, C. TothiU, 20, J. While, Is, J. Reed, 36, J. Connell, 21, and J. Prendergast, 20, were indicted for having riotously assembled and assaulted several police constables. Some of the prisoners were also charged with felony, in hav ing broken into bakers' shops and stolen bread. Each indictment was tried separately, but the evidence, taken as a whole, may be very shortly stated. The prisoners were ac tive participators iu the disturbances at the West-end. White and fothill seemed to be the principals, however, for it was proved that they headed a mob in the Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, White acting as commander, with his shoulders adorned with a pair of soldier's epaulettes. Tothill had raised a cry of "To arms! to arms!" and while in the shop of Mrs. Davey, baker, in Tothill-street, said, " We must either have your bread or your blood!" White and Tothill took from the shop of Mr. Branston, in the Broadway, a quantity ol bread, which they distributed to the mob, and when Mr. Branston's foreman and his niece refused to grant a fresh sup ply they swore they would have their lives.—The prisoners having all been pronounced guilty were placed at the bar to receive judgment.—The learned berjeant said that, although this court must look upon the offence of the prisoners in a very serious light—whatever might be the ridicule with which it was viewed el , ewhere—there was no necessity for the Teti severe punishment which, but for the happy state of this country, would have been visited upon them. However, when a person headed a mob, as the prisoner White had done, with epaulettes on his shoulders, and demanding bread or blood, the court must inflict a severe punishment. That prisoner avowed himself the ringleader of the riots, and the sentence upon him for the riot was six months' hard labour, in addition to ail months' hard labour for stealing tho bread. The sentenee upon Tothill was three months' hard labour for the riot and six months' hard labour in addition for the larceny. The sentence upon Reed was six months' hard labour. donee and Lower were sentenced each to three months' hard labour. There were mitigating circumstances regarding Connell, and the sentence upon him was one month's imprisonment without hard labour, and the sentence upon Prendergast three months' bard labour. POLK:E.—YESTERDAY. MANSION-HOUSE —DESERTION OF A SEAMAN. —Mr. Coleman, of the office of the Registrar-General of Seamen, appeared to prosecute J. J. Lewis, an able seaman, under the 7 & 8 Vic., cap. 112, for having, by deserting the ship to which he belonged, subjected the captain to consider able expense.—The defendant pleaded guilty. lie had no fault to find with the ship or the captain, but he had gone ashore with other sailors belonging to the vessel, and got drunk, and lost his register-ticket, and he had no money whatever. —The father of the defendant appealed to the Lord Mayor for a remission of the severity of the law. The defendant was a lad of exceedingly good character and behaviour, and had never misconducted himself except upon that one occa sion, when he had been misled by a set of debauched com rades, made drunk, and concealed by the foreign crimps, and plundered by them, and then 'hipped on board a French vessel, and landed penniless in this country. lie had never ceased to regret the act ; and es nobody could say a word against him in any other respect, there could be no fear of a repetition of such conduct —Captain Scott, of the ship Robert Small, admitted that the defendant had behaved well except in this particular instance—The Lord Mayor 1 can not possibly overlook this case. I have had many cases be fore me, and have been completely astonished to find that such numbers of seamen could he guilty of such criminal abandonment of duty.—The defendant was sentenced to im prisonment for one month, if he do not pay the whole of the difference between the wages he was to have received and the wages the captain has been obliged to pay to the seaman whom he employed instead of prisoner. WORSHIP-STREET.—INCITINO TO ROB.—J. Tweed, a boy 12 yearn of age, was charged by his master, Mr. Ralph Spooner, au oilman, in Bath-street, City-road, with robbery, and if. Robinson, porter to the prosecutor, was charged with inciting the other prisoner to the commission of the offence. yi —it having been satisfactorily established that Tweed was is a mere instrument in the hands of Robinson, he was admitted as a witness for the prosecution ; and on being sworn, stated about three weeks since he was placed by the authorities of t St. Luke's workhouse, of which he had been an inmate, in is the service of the prosecutor, end had only been with him a 1] few days when he was urged by the porter Robinson, who was prohibited from going behind the counter, to supply him with money from the till. He resisted his importunities for some time, but having been threatened with personal vio- se lance unless he complied he at length abstracted sixpence 1. from the till, and handed it to the prisoner. Two days after i ; the prisoner renewed his solicitation, telling him that unless he got him some more money he would " split" upon him to L his master, and he would be severely punished, and he there- 1 1 upon abstracted Is. Gd. from the till, which he also gave to the prisoner. On the preceding evening he was in the act of I again robbing the till, at the instigation of the prisoner, when they were disturbed by the sudden entrance of his master, j which led to the discovery of their depredations.—The pro secutor stated, that while seated in his back parlour on the preceding evening, he happened to raise his head, and saw the prisoner violently gesticulating to the boy Tweed, who I was standing behind the counter. He instantly hastened into the shop, and detected the boy with one of his hands in the till, which was partly drawn out. Witness at once ac cused the prisoner of having tampered with the boy, and ordered him to quit the premises , which he did without making any observation; but having returned next morning to ask him for a character, a policeman was sent for, and he was given into custody.—ln answer to the charge, the pri soner denied all participation in the robbery, and said that the whole of the boy's statement was a pure invention.—Mr. Arnold ordered the prisoner to be remanded, without bail, until Wednesday next. BENEVOLENCE.—The following further donations have been received for the Widow Barrett and her distressed family : Mr. S. W. Cattiey, IL ; "H. W.," 10s. ; ".7. 8.," IL ; and the children of • J. G. F ," 11. 2s. 6d. MARYLEBONE.—A LATTER-Csanten ACCUSED oe MURDER.— W. Rigder., about 28 years of age, a letter-car- , rier in the General Post-office, from which establishment a gentleman, holding the situation of inspector, attended to watch the proceedings, was accused of wilful murder.—The first witness called was Gilbert Batchelor, who said, " I re ride , at No. 3, Rock-row, Earl-street, Lisson-grove. On the ' 24th of January last, I and a friend were shooting in some fields between Kilburn and the Harrow-road, and at four in the afternoon the prisoner came from Kilburn-lane across aII footpath into a field next to that in which we were; he had under his arm something which was covered over loosely p, with a handkerchief; he went round o pond to a hedge , U I where he remained for about a quarter of an hour, and 6S, observed him ecraping up some mould with his hands front 5( the top of the bank. I and my friend continued to watch I him, and he soon afterwards came front the spot towards ' us, carrying in his hand a handkerchief, which 1 believe to be the same that lin the first instance noticed. He said to me, 1 have just now seen four anipes ' (pointing in the direction he had come from) ; and, after some further observations, my friend and I left him and went to look after the snipes, but could not sec any. We rep Bred to the place where we first saw the prisoner by the bank, and we observed that the earth had been disturbed. My friend kicked some of the mould away, and just below the surface we found a wooden box. Even- 1 tually we discovered that it contained the dead body of • , maleinfant. We did not then bring it away, but gave in formation to Webb, 100 8, whom we met on our way to the station, and who, having accompanied us back, took pewees sion of the box and its contents, which he conveyed to the Paddington-green station-house. Yesterday afternoon I saw the prisoner, and caused him to be taken into custody. —Raymond, 89 D. said that the prisoner, when being told that he was charged with being concerned in the murder of a child, alleged that he knew nothing about it. Witness added that, from inquiries made by him, he had ascertained that on the 24th (the - day of the discovery of the murder) he (prisoner) was absent from hie duty as a postman. An inquest had been held upon the body, and a verdict was returned of " Wilful murder against some person or persons unknown."—Dr. Carr, 9, Sheldon-street, Paddington, and who had made a most careful and minute examination of the body, by direction of the caviler, gave evidence which clearly showed that the child was born alive. The imme diate canoe of death was suffocation.—The prisoner declined putting any questions to the witnesses.—Mr. Long : You are at liberty to say anything now if you think At. 1 shall feel it my duty to remand you for further examination.—Pri 'loner : I can prove by the inspectors at the office that I was on duty that day, and they will be able to tell the time by the book. I know nothing of the case nor of the man.—Mr. Long remanded the prisoner till nest Thursday.—The pri soner was then locked up. MONEY MARKET. FRIDAY EVI3IIN9. There was but little to excite attention in the city to-day, beyond the intelligence from Germany and France, which, however, was, it muat be admitted, of very serious importance, especially from the latter. The suspension of cash payments by the Bank of France is a bold, but, under existing circumstances, apparently necessary measure, and that it should have led to an advance in the price of rentes at the Bourse is but natural, the marked { - slue being, by a change like this, rendered essentially nominal. The notes of the Bank of France are declared by the Pro , visional Government to be a legal tender,and payments THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVBNING, MARCH 18, 1848. for money operations may now be made in such notes, so that the quotation for the Threes, which is 50, and may seem a good symptom , are , in reality, at a cash I value of no more than about 40. The paper cur rency of France will, for the future, puss as a depreciated instrument of exchange, a 1000 L note of the Bank of France having been sold at 825 f., establishing a discount of 171, a rate of deduction, or something like it, perhaps, that must henceforth be made from all sales of property, of whatever description, in France. The first effect of the new government measure has thus been consider able, but not so great as many may have been pre pared for. As some confirmation of what is here stated it may be remarked that Console have been a little firmer than yesterday. They left off 804 to 1 for money and account. Exchequer Bills were last quoted 275. to 30s. prem. The Foreign Funds were,generally speaking,rather better,the late d epression having brought forward many buyers in the expectation that there may be some po litical change or other favourable to holders.

The directors bad come to the decision of °birthing the opiiiion of cowed as to the cam, for their future guidance, which, he was convinced, would meet with poem' upprotetion. With regard to the traffic upon the line, the directors had every reason to be well satirdied, as far as it had already gone. while it must be borne in mind that it hal hithertobeen conducted under the greatest possible dasedvastege. Ile had no doubt that on the completion of the line it would be very much awn:med.

The report, after adverting to the difficulties in the money market, and their opera tion on the progress of the worke, embodied the following document from the English shareholders in the line gir— d London, February 23,1010.—T0 Ocoige Carr, Erq.—Dear We have exaanukol carefully the accounta which you sent us of an. penditere and estimate" for the entire completion of the railway to Cork, with the station there, sad the intermediate stations, and in cluding all the plant and materials ler working the line, the whole amounting to 3.213 0001., and so far as we are able to judge .he estimate for the lino:epic'e works are on a very libend and I ample emir ; anti as all, except the stations are under contract to responsible partite., they ought not to be ceceeded. We are sorry, however, to observe that the wet of the Lend has very greatly ex ceeded the original estimate., which, with above 100,001. paid hack in interest to proprietors and on loans, swells the amount consider ably.. U, however, the line be act to work with all its stations and appourtments complete at • cost not exceeding 17,W01. per mile, it cannot fail in our opinion to term a safe and beneficial investment, and we are desirous that the feline information should be given to our proprietors at the crueller meeting, not only of the actual condi tion but the prop eau of the concern. We quite approve at the same time of due caution in the latter, and that no expectationa be raised which are not founded on cur own experience or on that of atuilogous lines in this country. We therefore annex for your informatioa ems calculation we have made as the grounds of our confidence in a remunenitive Mae, founded mainly on our own work- Big. By the returns of traffic since the opening to Ilailybrophy end Carlow, a distance of ter mike it appears our earnings have been about 21/. per mile per week, and this under many unfavourable cir cumatanene such as the dietressed state of the country, winter meethe, few trains, and no connexion with any post or large wen; our present terminus at liallybruphy being iu tie ni dthe of a field 9 =lea from the nearest market town of !tweets, rye mi n a from Lime rick, and 90 miles from Cork. This, therceire, van only be Wien en an indication of the traffic to be expected when the line le eiwnected With the two bitter large and populeue cities and the necermiry or rangenwets made fur extending the goods and rat to Made; :is also of the coal, which is likely to form an important roarer of revenue at the Cork end. In our opinion, as well as that of other ex perienced judges, at least double the eeietiug traffic may then he fairly anticipated (say 401. per mile), with a probability of a steady and mostant Increase. If then we compare this with two English lines of railway—the Lancaster and Carlinle, and the Newcastle and Wilkie—watch are most analogous, it will be seen that our confi dence is tot unfunded. The former is seventy roars long, has cost upwards of 18,0001. per mile (not including plant), and &menet re yet enjoy a traffic of quite 20/. per mile; yet the snores Learn premium of hi. per share, from the belief that the traffic is not yet developed. But the Newcastle and Carlisle has now been at work for many year, and having coat about 18,3901. per mile bee a traffic of about 301. per mile, out of which it pep a dividend of e per cent. per annum. That our revenue will reach 30/. per mile when we get to Limerick, in May next, we cannot permit ourselvw to itoubt; and that accomplished, veers further stip toward. Cork will bring an immure. Tide information, or the data on whet we formed our cx pecitatione, we think is due to our proprietor/I; it will confirm the confidence of many, and dispel the fears of thee who (alarmed by the general &Trete:dem of railway property, and more especially new projecte) have no memo or expertenoe to guide their judgment. We reeollintrnil that the works toward. Cork be pushed forward during the coming morrow, In order that the large capital already expended epee them may be rendered productive; and are, drarnir, your faith ful and obedient eervanin, J. B. Hoothby, T. smith, C. Saltraarehe, E. Cropper, C. R. Mooreau, directors of the London and Nerth.et mune Railway." The engineer . s report woe then submitted, which gave a satisfac tory account of she progress of the wetly, ter which the chairman entered into some ezp)anutione, showing that the line as compared with others favourably eireumstanoed was in rood Malec, and ought satisfy the shareholders as lathe management. The chairman then moved the adoption of the report. —Mr..l. I'. try said that before the maim passed be wished to obtain some infomuition.

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.—Ltveuroot, Matectom toe, erre Nieweron Jimerriya—The committee of ahareholders ap pointed at the half-yearly meeting of this company, held ih Meltehee ter, on the Bth ult., to inquiry into the again of the coinparry, have Ant Issued a report, in which they announce that m muumuu= their labours the directors rfrorded them every facility, and the chairman and two of the directors were examined by them. They Mate that they found the micants generally well kept, hut it appeared to them, on 'invalidating the expenditure of the past hult.rear, that the legal and parliamentary charges were examples., and the genernl expendi ture granter than the circumstances of the company warranted. It npelen that up to the 30111 of June, 1847, 511,000/. part of the capital of the company, was invested in Terre per Cent. &emote and a fur ther sum of 23,617/. 10r. in Comet scrip. In July the directors cold the Ceased scrip, and with other moneye, making together 23,000/., lent it to the Lancedere and Yorkshire Railway Company, at 3 per cent interim, without security, on terms of short notice of repnyment Leading money to a railway company on call appeared to the com mitter exceedingly irregular, amt they could no: refrain from record ing their disapprobation of this mode of dealing with the funds of the company. The committee found that four contracts had been entered into with other companies, the tart of which wee entered into on the eith of February, 1848, with Mr. Ceara° Umlauts M.P., on behalf of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway Company, by which it woo agreed that, on the completion of such portions of the line of this company, and of the Neethern Comities Union line, es lie betwe n a point milk beemen. dotted railway, near New tonee.Willows, and a point on the line of this company near Castle Bolton, of each portion of the line as lies between the said Newton-le-Willows and Bedale, the York, New castle, and Berwick Company should accept a lease of them portions for 21 yearn, at a rent equal to e per cent. on the outlay for conetruc tion (5,e001. being added towards the cost of parliamentary ex penses), provided the remainder of the line of this company from Castle Bolton to the extension of thu beds and Bradford Railway, in the township of Elstick, be constructed and open for traffic by the let of Morels 1853; and if it is not opened for traffic by that time, the real to be reduced from the let January, 1833, to 5 par cent. until it in no completed. The agreeement also provide s for the traffic of sariolla places being brought over the line of the York, Neweamle, and Berwick Cameleer, and that the line between Newton leett thews and Conlon shall he euspended or abandoned, and not constructed without the previous consent of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Company. Respecting this agreement, the committee state that it bee not Urn euemitud to the board of directory, or nine tioned by the sharcholders, and they are without the means of form ing an opinion an to the amount of attention bestowed, or the mean taken to arrive ate conclusion se to whether the agreement was good for the shareholder, or the bent that mild be obtained; but tbey find that it woo not until the end of January that the directors seriously coneidered the question of entering into negotiations a ich Mr. Hud son; but they believe that in entering into the negotiation the directors have evinced (though hire) some activity in forwarding the in terests et the shareholders; and the committee bare felt it their duty to recummeud the directors to exercise extreme caution in entering into further contracts to bind the company. — The committee had that in August, 1417 a contract was entered into with Mr. Hawk:Maw to provide for ell die duties of the engineering depertenent et 40M. per mile (the line being 51 miles), and to receive in 1047, 3,000/.; 1848, 4,6000!.; 1841, 5,001.; 1830, 5,004.4.; 1851, 4,00ue, and the balance on the completion of the works—parliamen tary Weems or iterations not to be included in the contract. On the directors determining to auspend the works, a further contract was entered into, by which it was agreed that the year in which the works should be recommenced should count as the second year a reason. able allowance being made to Mr. Ilawkshaw for any extra expenses and labour entailed by the arememioa. Contracts have been entered into for land, by which the company on taking posseesion of it become liable to the payment of 77,7344 2d., b referent* to that portion of the line now proposed to be abandoned. Further land to the value of 14,9751, has been applied for, or notice given that it will be required, but no binding contracts exist. Notices to treat for land, involving a sum of 1,967/. ' were given in October last, when the suapeneion of the lin e was in contemplation, without the sanction of the directors, or at least any record being made on the hooks of the company ; and the committee consideringsuch a course extremely irregular, recom mend that in future matters of such importance shall not be so lonely conducted. The committee are of opinion, treat am evidence brought before them, that, adopting the Wale breech of the York, New. castle and Berwick Oompany, the line may be executed at a not of 1,000:000E, including the money already eependel, or for about a total cost of 141. per share, of 111. NW. per Aare to be called op, and that there is reason to calculate that the traffic will yield a fair remunera tion ; Mr. Cope, who prepared the traffic tables estimating it at five or ale per cent., without Including coal or coke, from which a large tragic te now entreated. The direction !cons Ira at eight members, three of wbom are directors ot the Lancaathe and Yorirshire Company, and • fourth was lately a salaried officer ee the earn. company. The committee feel that in conseq seem of jsre be. tween director., and other causes, there must lave been mis management, and that much alteration should be nsai!e in the caeca tire.
