Tin: FATAL ACCIDENT ON TEE MIDLAND RAILWAY. (ROM OMR OWN BIROSTINL) MARKET . HARBOROUGH, Auutmer 3L The accident on the Midland Railway, on Thurs day uight, I find from investigation on the spot, wan not attended with quite ouch immediate fearful results ra was .tatod in your impression of Saturday. It was, however, of ao :ippalling character, one man being killed oo the spot, spwards of twenty others severely injured—two or more of them there is too much reason to fear fatally so—sod some thirty or forty others sustained injuries of a less severe character. The train to which the accident occurred was a »tura excursion train from Barton, Melton, Lei cester, and Manton. It started from those places en Wednesday morning for London, and was to re turn on Thursday evening ; sod was advertised to start on the return journey from King's cross Station at half peat seven o'clock in the evening. from the number of passenger., however—there ware some Imll—it was de termined to divide the train into two, both on the op journey rind the down. On the down journey there were 49 carriages altogether, and they were divided as equally as might be, being allocated to one train and 14 to another. Besides the large number of carriages, another meson for enakiog two trains of them was that a great proportion of the passengers came from Burton, and it was convenient to hays them altogether, as the car riages containing them would have to leave the main line at Knighton Junction in order to get on the branch to Burton. The first train, consisting of Si carriages, con tained the Burton passengers, and the second, consisting of 24 carriages, contained the passengers to Leicester and Manton. Though advertised to start at half-past seven, the first train did not start till ten minutes to eight, and the second started five minutes afterwards. The distance front Loudon to Market Harborough is 81 miles, and the first train arrived at that station at seven minutes to eleven. Here it stopped for water. The tank from which the water is obtained for the engines of the down trains is at the north cod of the station ; but the train extended to about 10 yards beyond the signal posts, which are to the south of the station. The second train, it appears, stopped for water at Bedford, which is forty-seven and a half miles from London, and it is alleged that es it was going into the station at Bedford the first train was just going out, and the red lights at the tail of the train could be distinctly teen. The operation of taking in water ordinarily occupies from seven to ten minutes ; so that the first train had the start from Bedford by at least seven minutes, and this dia. Vance of time between the two trains seems to have been kept up till they got to Market Harborough. Neither of the trains wax timed to stop at Market Harborough, but the first train did stop there for water at seven minutes to eleven. The station was closed, there being no more trains expected to stop that night ; the lights were all put out, and the London and North Western station master (it is a joint alatioe of the two companies) was going to bed. Hearing the train atop, however, he went out on the platform to render soy assistance that might be required. A number of the passengers alighted, and some of them expressed their anxiety with regard to the second train, which they knew was close behind them ; but the majority appeared to be merry, and many were the tender inquiries " How's your poor feet," those who used that slang phrase being little aware how soon that game inquiry would be made of many of them in sad reality. They had all been got into the carriages, the door were closed, and the train was just about to start, or rather Lad started, the engine having given ono or two puffs, when the alarm whistle of the engine of the second train was heard sounding loud, long, sod continuously. The guard of the first train seeing the second approaching, and that a collision was inevitable, jumped from the break-no, and called out " Passengers, jump for your lives." Those who heard his call—and indeed many who did not, for panic spread itself with wonderful celerity—instantly made most frantic efforts to get out of the carriages, and a few succeeded and got on the platform in safety, but the train mane on and ran into the break-van of the first trine, smashing it to atoms, and throwing over sod utterly destroying and breaking into splinters the eaarisge which was next to it. A composite carriage which was next to this was also throwu over and knocked to pieces. The first mot of the train recoiled and broke the coupling chains, and the train went oo some hundred yards or so, and then stopped. The second train also stopped, the engine having been thrown off the line by the collision, but it did not tura ever, and it appears was not materially injured, nor was any damage done to the approaching train, nor were any of the passengers in it severely injured. But this was far tram being the case with the unfortunate passengers in the first train. Their screams were temfic. As soon as the trains were at a standstill or before, all who were not dis abled from so doing were rushing out of the wrings with all the haste they could make. To add to the coufusiou, the station was in total darkness, the hunter, as I have stated, having been, with one exception, all put out some time before. Some of the passengers had blood streaming down their faces, some of the women had their bonoete in their bands and their babes in their anus, cud all except those who had been prostrated be the injuries they bad received, were looking anxiously around to ascertain what had become of their friends. Mr. Rich, the station master, procured a hand lamp, and proceeded to the end of the train, and foi.ad that three persons were laid on the road, wedged under portions of one of the carriages. It was impossible to extricate them at the moment, but with as much despatch as could be used a screw-jack was obtained, and several of the uninjured passengers set to work vigo reedy, and used their utmost efforts to extricate them. Three quarters of an hour elapsed before this could be effected, and when it was, one of these unfortunates, Thomas Stamm, a man from 40 end 50 years of age, • carrier, residing at White/kb, was found to be dead. Another, Mr. Harrison, of Whitwich. had his arm broken ; and the third, Yr. Sherwin, of Market Bosworth, bad also his arm broken, and had likewise sustained • severe injury to one eye. In the meanwhile a large bonfire was kindled with the &iris of the broken carriages, in order to give light, and the station-master lighted the lamps up, opened the office, and directed some of the passengers to go into the town. and get people to come and assist, and to bring as many 'medical men as they c o uld find. Their efforts in this direc tion were quite successful. At first, indeed, the policeman en duty mistook them for • number of drunken people, for they were naturally in an excited state, and he went to the police-station for assistance, but Mr. /lift, the superintendent of the county constabulary, soon ascertained the real state of things, and Le hastened to the railway station. Mr. Ody, Mr. Heygate, and Mr. Francis, surgeons, and Mr. Galloway, the assistant to the latter gen tleman, who had been aroused, were also quickly on the spot, sod vent numbers of the inhabitants hastened to render sasiatauce, taking with them water mos, glasses, sponges, linen, and other things which they thought would might be useful to dress the wounds rod assuage the safferinp of those who were injured. Mr. Braswell, upholsterer, took up his furniture van ; Mr. Mosey, the Midland superintendent, who lives in the town, also hurried to the station, and gave directions that he should be followed by the horse and dray belonging to the company. Oa arriving at the station he telegraphed to Leicester for medical and other assistance. and also to prevent any other trains coming up in that direction. In the meanwhile, the booking.ollices and Mr. Rich's house were c Inverted' into an hospital, and were filled with patients, who were furnished with such refresh ment& as hisestaldishment afforded. About 2 o'clock from 40 to 50 of the pa.ssengert whose in . pries did Dot prevent them being removed were sent on to Likelier, and they were all attended to at the station there by Dm Lasater, Belton, Jackson. and Moore. Twenty. three others, whose injuries were of too severe a character to permit of their being sent further away, were carried to hotels in Market Harborough. By this time a number of the passengers who had escaped injury had found their way to Market Harborough, and had roused the innkeepers there, for the purpose of obtaining iefreahinenta. Many of them were much frigliseued, and they hired every available horse and vehicle M the place to convey them to their homes, rather than go on in the train. Some 200 started for their homes in this manner. The remainder were despatched by train, and by Ave o'clock the line sou clear, and the station rammed its wonted appears nee. Some of the passengers seen to have bad miraculous es capes. One stated that he was looking out of the window and suddenly felt himself lifted up, and that spreading his arms be alighted on the platform unhurt. Another said he found himself on the platform, but had no notion how be got there, but on looking at the carnage he bad been in he found the top off, and he then lifted his wife out. The primary cause of the accident seems to hive been the starting of the two trains within so abort a time of each ether, bet a subsidiary cause is the pecuharity which at !lichee to the Market Harborough station. This station, as I have already meetioned, is a joint station of the London and North Western and the Midfield Companies. The Mid land line runs into the North Western line at Market Hai-- borough, and the line for about three-quarters of • mile from that place northwards is in fact part of the London and North Western line. The station at Market Harborough is entirely under the control of the London and North Western Company, and the signal and pointsmen and ether officers are their servente, the Midland having there only • superintendent of the traffic, who Ire DO control over the business of the station. The blame mats between the engine-driver of the second train, who is in the employ of the Midland Company, and the signalman, who is in the employ of the London and North Western. On behalf of the latter, it is alleged that the signals were displayed to indicate danger, and that if the datine-driver bad attended to these signals, no collision mould have occu rre d. In reference to the signal we should explain that there is a large signal post at the Market Ha, borough-station, and &boat a third of a mile southwards tb.r., is what is tanned as auxiliary signal, win& Is worked sky the was at the aria *aid-poet The sigma teem, whew THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, SFPTEMBER 1, 1862. name is Haggar, aid who is represented to be a steady man, and who liu b een i n th e service o f th e com p an y f or several yean, nnoutains that when the first train came in he put on the red light, which indicates danger, both on the main signal post and on the auxiliary signal•pust. On the other han d, the engine-driver, who Is likewise highly spoken of, and who certainly seems to have been on the lookout during the journey, avers that the light at the auxiliary signal-post was white, indicating that the line was clear. his also alleged that when be saw the white light, which he could do at some distance before be approached it, be put on steam, so that when he arrived at the signal•post the train was in full swing ; that he then saw the danger signal at the station, and immediately reversed his engine, and applied his break, and signalled to the guard to apply his break, but the road Laing on au incline, he was unable to stop the train, but that he had reduced the speed to some four or five miles an hour when the collision took place. The two statements as to the signals are at direct Va111111C1), and which is the right one it is not for me to nay. It is a point on which there will probably be conflicting evidence at the inquest. In order to ascertain at what distance the signal at the station can be perceived I walked down the line last night, and found that I could see it from the auxiliary signal post and from any point northward of that, but not southward as far as I proceeded. The line is there on a curve, and there is an incline. On Fnday afternoon John Gregory, Fail., the coroner for the county of Leicester, commenced an inquest on the body of Thomas Stenson at the Railway Tavern, but the only evidence taken was for the purpose of identifying the body, and proving that he died from injuries sustained by the col lision, and the inquest was then adjourned until Thursday, at the Town-hall, Market Harborough.

To close by eight o'clock on Moods, evening. llltima►nly, having been allowed to get out and join her friend, they proceeded to Camden-town in another omnibus. The defence set up wee that the seat bad been previously engaged, but be could produce no evidence to that effect, He was convicted in 20s. and costa, which he paid. CLERK EN W ELL Sarah Moore, describing herself as a governor, and re siding at 22, Portland-place, Canonbury -square, Islington, was charged with assaulting Mrs. Jane Simpaon, and wil fully damaging bar bonnet, value ss. ; and also with as malting Mrs. Elizabeth White, of 3, Providence-place, Southampton. The latter complainant is the wife of the Rev. Wm. llopton White, who, it was alleged, had eloped with his nurserymaid and children from Southampton about four month, since, and having traced his whereabouts to the address in question she succeeded in gaining ad mission, and found him with the defendant. Mr. White called on her to aid him in pushing them out into the street, and in the melt'e the alleged assaults were coin. witted. Mrs. White said that her husband was incumbent of St. James's, Southampton, but in consequence of it having been stated that he was the father of au illegitimate child, the bishop had called upon him to resign. He could find money to clothe and live with the defendant, but had left her without a shilling, and she went to find him out, and was assaulted, as well as her friend, by the prisoner. The Rev. Mr. White said he was living separate from his wife under agreement, and when she and her friend came they burst into his room and behaved in a most violent manner, and be took them by the shoulders to turn them out, and culled upon Miss Moore (defendant) to insist him. The magistrate considered the assault proved, and said he should fine the defendant 10s. in each case, or in default twenty days' imprisonment and bard labour. The Rev. Mr. White at once paid the money, and the parties left the court. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Joseph Null, a German jeweller, of 23, Gloucester. street, Queen-square, was clorged with assault by a countryman named Leopold Schwarringer. Complainant said, on the 23rd inst., he was walking in the street, when defendant cam e b e h in d him and inflicted several blows on his bead and face with a walking-stick, and he was compelled to go to a surgeon. The assault was proved, and complainant also handed in a letter which he had received from defendant, in which he accused him of debauching his wife, and threatened to do for him. Defendant, in answer to the charge, mid complainant had deserted his wife and child in Vienna, and on coming to this country and making out a pitiable case, he had let him lodge at his house for 18 months, and he had repaid him by taking out his wife to concerts, &c., and keeping her out till two and three in the morning, and making her drunk, destroying his peace of mind, and breaking up bis home. He had told him to desist from pursuing his wife.but with• out effect, and meeting him, he could not contain his feel ings, and struck him as described. He was ordered to find bail to keep the peace towards complainant. DUBLIN AND MEATH. The eighth ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of this co•npany was held on Friday, in their office, No. 1, Great tieorye•street, Mr. WM. CIiAIIIAZ in the dair. The Seciterser read the following half-yearly report : " Your directors have much satisfaction in congratulating the shareholders on the completion of the main line from Clonsilla to Navan. The weather, and accidents common to all large undertaking., have delayed this result for a few weeks longer thou had been anticipated, but the govern ment inspector, Captain Rich, }LE., surveyed and ap proved all the important portion of the line on the 31st ultimo. The little details which he required to be attended to are now Dearly complete, and the three. tors expect that the line will have been opened so as to enable the shareholders to travel by it to attend the present meeting. Your directors have "ndeavoured to arrange with the Drogheda Railway Company the terms for the exercise by this company of their running powers to Kells ; but, having failed i n thi s en d eavour , th ey have been oblied to refer the question to erbitration, under the Kell. Act. Mr. F. Broughton, of the Ulster Railway Company, has been appointed by this company, and Mr. Merry, of the Great Southern and Western Railway Company has been named by the Drogbeds Company, as their respective arbitrators; and these gentlemen have rominated Captain finish as umpire. Your directors hope that this question may be shortly disposed of, and that the additional accommodation may cause an increased traffic from Kells, mutually advantageous to the Drogheda awl to this company. Your directors have adopted the unusual course of con vening their autumn meeting in Dublin. They have done so that they might upon the spot more maturely con• eider the point■ which necessarily arise as to the most efficient working of the line, and also the prudence of pushing forward at once the branch to Athboy, or of postponing it until next spring. During the past session your duectors obtained an act authorising them to attach a preference to the unissued shares of this company, and also authorising the raising of a further capital of 45,6004 The total ordinary capital of the company is this raised to 275,0004 At a special meeting on the 30th June last, the proprietors sanctioned the creation of a 5/. per cent. preference stock to the amount of the unissued shares— namely, 71,6504, and the directors propose, at the extra ordinary meeting which will immediately succeed that now being held, to recommend the shareholders to allow them to raise the 45,0004 further capital at such times and in such manner as they may think meet advantageous." The CHAIRMAN congratulated the shareholders upon the successful opening of their line, and said he regretted the absence of their chairman, Sir Joseph Paxton, who could have afforded them all oeconary information. Sir Joseph Paxton, however, would be in Dublin next week, when no doubt they would arrange for entering upon the works of the Athboy branch. He begged to move the adoption of the report and statement of accounts. His Grace the Duke of LEINNTER seconded the report, and remarked that he was happy to congratulate the share holders upon the successful opening of their line, and upon the creditable manner in which the contractors had per formed their duty. The gentlemen of Meath now possessed the advantage of sending their cattle continuously to either the port of Dublin or the port of Drogheda. After some conversation as to the propriety of issuing season subscription-tickets at short distances, and the cote pletion of the branch line to Athboy, the resolution was put front the chair and unanimously agreed to. The meeting was then made special. and resolutions were adopted authorising the raising of further capital, not ex ceeding 45,0004, is such shires or classes of shares, and with or without such preference of dividend, mid generally in such manner as the said meeting shall approve of. On the motion of the Duke of Lwarrzfi, a vote of thanks was given to the directors for the manner in which they had attended to the interests of the company. TO THE EDITOI OP THE MIMESIS. Sot,—The triple triumph of Zetland at Stockton was the only really good three year oldperformance of the put week, and the Doncaster St. Leger is now as open as it ap peared at the conclusion of the York meeting, with no prospect of further light being thrown upon it. Bonny Breast Knot was defeated by Zetland when running him with 1010. the best of the weights, in his last spin. and the probability is thus very remote of her proving "another Oilier On." for she must improve at least &stone to Leon an equality with the cracks. What with the second "knocking out" of Caractacus, the unsteadiness of Old Calabar, Johnny Armstrong, and Hurricane in the market, and the bringing into the betting of such horses as Norroy, &modelle, Carswell. kc.—whose performances are so very moderate—the race becomes more and more mysterious in its complexion, and under such circumstances a tremendous field may be expected, at least two dozen being on the books at the present time. None of the cracks have engagements either at Derby, Oxford, Exeter or Plyrnonth, where the principal race meetings of the current week are held; ands, speculators:will dividethemselves—sometaking the two first named, and the remainder the Devonshire gatherings—no very important movements in the market may be expected, unless a " rush" is organised. The Devonshire ball will be opened at Haldon (about six miles out of Exeter) on Tuesday, with &capital two days programme, the principal handicap being a prize worth struggling for. It had only eleven acceptances, and one of these (Fairwater) has since declined, leaving half a score to cut in for/it, of which Knutsford and Sycophant ore penalised 7 lb. each, and Vinegar Hill 5 lb. Thus there is nothing in recent running to spoil the affair, and the distance being over two miles, with a severe course to boot, it will not do to trust any. thing but decided stayers. Knutaford can go the journey, and yet I must stand Paul Clifford in preference, when in receipt of 201 b. from him, the latter being not unlikely to discover his most awkward antagonist in the feathered Breechloader, who appears to like a distance. The Exeter Stakes, for 2-yr-olds, holfa-mile, must surely be won by Toni Fool, considering he is meeting Bateman and Countess with 31b, Surnmerside with tilb, and King of Utopia with 101 b. the best of the weights ; but despite her having so much the worst of the imposta for the Haldon Plate, Twilight is sure to be in the front at the finish, as is also King of the Forest, aged, 9st 71b. An acceptance has vet to be declared for the Dawlish Free Handicap. The Mamboed Stakes, for) 2-yr-olds, C furlongs, Cachoca carries too much weigh: for, being penalised 121 b ; and Woolcott's stable is consequently pretty certain to bring out the winner, either in Gunner (2lb extra), Soap stone (4lb extra), or Charlemagne, the first-named being a first-class animal, sod pretty nearly a certainty, for Golden Bast (3lb extra), and Naomi filly (slb extra), are the best performers of the remainder. The Nursery Plate for 2-yr olds, six furlongs, will find The Idea, fist 101 b, a difficult customer to dispose of. and I can only expect one of Wooloott's—the:Guoner or Soap s t one , fi s t 21b—to do for him, this pair being remarkably well treated, considering their performances. The County Cup. two miles and • half, is another plum for Atherstone. 4 yrs, gat 916. unless Optimist, s'yrs, 9st 71b, is in the field ; when the Yankee's staying qualities will reeder,himdangerous; but if he'has any form left it may be deemed policy to reserve him for some thing better. The other events are out of my latitude ; and there is little in the Plymouth programme requiring notice, Tonic, for the Sakti= Handicap, and Loiterer for Her Ma jesty's Vase, comprising all the selections I can make. The Derby . meeting is to extend over Tuesd a y and Wed nesday, but is intrdly deserving of such a diatinction, as the bill of fare is a very tame one. Only nice have accepted for the Tradesmee's Plate, one mile and a half, and OA it is hardly probable that Harlequin and Ottoman will perform here, supposing they are good for anything, the recent vic tory of Beverley makes him appear the bait investment, even with the 71b penalty. The Chesterfield Plate, for 2-year-olds, six furlongs, may be secured by Taje or Bohemia in his absence ; and if Fluke cannot win the Nursery Plate, for 2-rear .olds, six furlongs. her running at Worcester with Soapstone was a mistake. Cliff 's stable also containing two other representatives. It is easy to perceive Miss Julia, aged, lOst, and Astarte, 4 yrs, 7st 91b, are the best looking in the half-mile Grand Stead Plate ; and if the latter can get the extra two follow, she will take her own part in the Sudbury Plate on the second day. The Harrington Plate, fur two-year-olds, half a mile, will be a difficult job for Taje, as Erin-go-Bragh. Gipsy Girl, and Merry Hart, all require some shaking off ; still, considering how easily he defeated Turcos, Revolver, a nd O a k a ppl e a t Stamford, and that be afterwards ran a close race with Brick and Tor nado at Goodwood, the Newmar Let horse must be set down as haring shown the beat form. The Chatsworth Plate, one mile, ought to be picked up by Clenienti, 3 yrs, list 71b, whatever he may do in the Tradesmen's Plate, fur he is on his own distance, and the handicapper has been particularly lenient. Following immediately on to the heels of Derby, we have two days at Osfoed, and the meeting seems to have fairly established itself, the different prises being well selected. The Trial Stakes, for all ages, six fur longs, has claiming conditions, in despite of which the two best class hones, Valet's, 4 yrs, and Odine, 2 yes, ought to have the Bni h between them, as the run their most heavily allowed opponents with only 121 the worst of the weights, the young one being the most trustworthy. Is the Oxfordshire Handicap, two miles, Magnum Boors, 3 yn, 7M 51b, stands a chalice of sustain ing the reputation be went to Goodwood with, as there is a prospect of a strong jockey being up, and he will not be allowed to run himself to is stand - stil l. He is as well in, too, as in any of his previous races ; and, presuming Be douin will be kept for something better, my vote most be for the strapping son of Steelpen. The Prince of Wales's Stakes, for 2-yr-olds, half-a-mile, ought to rest between Royal Stag and the Perfect Cure, the conditious as regards penalties and allowances giving them so much the best of the weights with Overture, Zara, and Gipsy Girl. The County Members' Plate, six furlongs, and Rifle Volunteers' Plate. one mile, may be woo by Bolero and Saracen respectively ; but I must decline all interference with the three minor plates that have such immense entries on the second day, as previous running must say a great deal for them. The Oxford Gold Cup, two miles and a-quarter, is an insignificant item, and there is raison to doubt whether it will pmve attractive to Malek or Atherstone, although the latter would have plenty of time to yet to the post, after fulfilling his engage ment in Devonshire. The Stratton Andley Nursery Handi cap, for two-year-olds, six furlongs, will prove the feature of the second day. mid I hardly know where to look for the winner unless in Zarajat Sib, or The Idea, Eat 10Ib, the latter having no penalty as yet for her two recent victories, end a triumph at Exeter would only put 31b more on her back. The September number of Bally has _just made its ap. pearaoce, and I cannot help remarking how crammed it is with matter turtites cannot fail to be interested is. In dependently of the usual " van " load of sporting informa tion, there is some amusement to be derived from a perusal of a short chapter devoted to The Turf Market," which, with the progressive history of "Charlie Thornhill," lightens the matter sufficiently to prevent Raitres Magazt ae being includedinthecategory of dull monthlies.—l am, lie., METEOR.

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCOIT.--Lwaroot, A must 30. Nisi rives COURT. —(Before Mr. Juatioe Mellor. LEIGH r. RYDER AND ANOTHER.-ALLEGED FRAUDS UPON MANI;FACTUREVB. nil. was an action in which the defendant, a manufac turer of Preston and Manchester, sought to recover the value of a quantity of cotton goods which he alleged were obtained by fraud and were improperly detained by the defendants. A firm in Manchester, trading under the name of John Heriott and Co., obtained from the plaintiff in April last, cotton goods valued at 4,0501., the terms being cash in three days. When Mr. Leigh went for his money he found Mr. Heriott's office crowded by clamorous creditors. Ultimately, they all, including the plaintiff, were satiated by cheques upon Masterman and Co., which were subsequently dis hocoureil. The plaintiff then found that his goals were in the hands of the defendants, packers, at Manchester, who had a lien upon them. The plaintiff demanded that they should be given up to him, but the defendants, ,by the advice of • committee of Heriott's creditors refused to give them up. For the defence it was contended that Mr. Heriott (who is now in a private lunatic asylum) was justified in anticipa ting a rise in the market when he purchased the goods in dispute, and that subsequent events had proved the justice of his anticipations. The jury, after • brief consultation, re turned a verdict for the defendants, finding that there bad been no dishonest intention or fraud on the part of Mr. Hatiott. THE POLICE COURTS. GUILDHALL. George JeaLies,l2, and John Stroud, 15, were charged with robbing Mts. Davie, the wife of a dam) tam, in Little 13e11-alley. _ . . The Prisoner Jenkins bad been employed to carry out milk for the last two months, and money had been re. peatedly missed from the cashbox, which was kept locked up in a drawer, about 101. in all. The key of the drawer bad also been missed, and one day the prisoner was seen with the key in his hand in her bedroom. When taken into custody and asked what be had done with the money, he said he had spent 21. in riding about the " Heath" with the other prisoner, and le. be gave for a pair of pistols, Is. for bullets, and Bs. for having his fortune told. He had also given 21. to Stroud to go into the country with, and had secreted V. in the back yard. Stroud was then taken into custody, and, from the conversation which was overheard between them when locked up, it was clear that they were accomplices in the robbery. Alderman Carter, who said he had heard of greater depravity or more craft and cunning than had appeared in the prisoners' conduct, committed Jenkins for six months, and Stroud for only four months. DOW-STREET. Alfred George Gregory, conductor of • Melchior omn i bus, Ins charged with refusing to convey a passenger. Mrs. Essex, a lady residing at Camden-town, said she was about to enter defendant's omnibus with a friend, a young lady from the country, when he asked her bow far she was going. Declining to reply she entered the omnibus and took a seat. She was closely followed by another lady, wbo had got between her and her (need as the latter was about to follow. Defendant shut the door, and said she should not ride in the omnibus. Mrs. Essex said she would get out rather than be separated from her friend, who was • stranger in London. Defendant would not let her out but slammed the door and called to the macho= to drive on. MARYLEBONE. Eliza Taylor, :15 years of age, residing at 31, Bryanstone street, was charged with attempting to put an end to her existence by placing her head in front of a cart wheel whilst in motion. Henry Parker ' a cabman, said, about 20 minutes peat twelve that day he was in the Edgware-road, when he saw the prisoner deliberately come from the pavement, throw herself down in the road, and place her head in the imme diate track of the wheels of a cart coming towards her. He jumped into the road, and pulling her away, asked her the cause of such conduct, when she said she wished to die and was determined to destroy herself. She was not under the influence of liquor. She also maid something about killing her husband. Prisoner here exclaimed, " Yes I will do it. lam deter. mined to do it." She left her husband, she said, to live with another man, and be now lived with another woman. Since she had been 'in custody in the charge room she bad made a desperate attempt to strangle herself with her handkerchief. Prisoner said it was no wilt telling a lie. She felt she wu not right and she meant to do it, and would do it. Remanded, and ordered to be osrefully.watched. LA M BETH. _ . _ Sanwa Brown, a navis.tortsnisciarged with committing a savage assault upon Edward Knowles, a greengrocer, at Norwood, and biting off a large piece of his nose. On the night of Saturday week prosecutor was driving along the Lancaster-road in his cart, when the Prisoner jumped up and commenced a violent attack upon him, declaring at the same time that he would kill him. Prosecutor defended himself, and they had a scuffle, in which the prisoner bit off the end of his acre, and otherwise injured him. lie had never had any quarrel with the man, and did not know why lie had been attacked. Committed for trial. WORSHIP-STREET. _ . James Bickerton, Bethnal-green, and John Curtis, of Tyssen-street, in the same parish, were summoned by the emcee authorities for having exercised the trade of a pawnbroker without taking out a proper license. Proof was given of the defendants not being licensed to deal as pawnbrokers, and of their having taken articles in pledge, and having charged more than pawnbrokers are allowed to receive. The charges were admitted, but the defendants pressed for a diminution of the penalty, which is 50/. for each offence. Mr. Cook said that, u this was the first prosecution of the kind, he should flue the defeedants in the mitigated penalty of 12!. 10a., but, as he looked upon this species of trading u most detrimental to the interests of the poor, he should in future inflict the full penalty. THAMES. Ann Jane Webb, lit years of ege, was charged with steal ing three blankets, seven pillow cases, a shawl, and various articles of wearing apparel, together with one sovereign and 7s. in silver, from her mistress. Mrs. Ellen Donovan, a young with's; lady, residing in Archer-terrace, Limehouse,ste,ed that the prioaaer was in her service for &fortnight only, at the end of which time she decamped, taking with her the various articles mention e d. She bad hut the prisoner from a reformatory, where she had been for five yearn. This was the third servant shahs,' had from the reformatory, and they had all robbed her. When the prisoner was taken into custody some of the stolen articles were found upon her. In defence, she said her mistress had reprimanded her for neglect, and, being in one of her bad tempers, she could not do her work, and so she absconded with the money and goods. Committed for trial. GREEN WIC H • Thomas Shires'', a g ed 55, a ii,ec,iiiendant in the employ of the Commercial Dock Company, was charge], on remand, before Mr. Tmal, w ith c►usiog the death of Louisa Oliver, a woman with whom he had cohabited, by throwing a shell at her and striking ber on the head. Mr. Cockle, solicitor, of Deptford, appeared for the pri soner. Louisa Shirtliff, a girl about 14 years of age and daughter of the prisoner by the deceased, said that on Sunday morn ing week she was awoke by hearing her mother screaming "Murder." Her father and mother were both up and dressed, and quarrelling about money he bad lost. She saw her mother was bleeding from a wound in the head, and she held in her hand a large shell, used as a chimney ornament, which had blood on it, and which she said her father had thrown at her. Her mother then took up a knife and threatened violence to her father, and he used similar threats to her mother. Witness became frightened and ran out to get a person to come and prevent them fighting, but the person would not do so. Being afraid to go back again, witness remained outside until her father left home to go to his employment, and then went in and helped to dress her mother's head and to put her to bed. In cross-examination the witness said her mother was net sober when she put her to bed, but "not much out of the way." Her father bad been accusing the deceased of baying taken his money out of his pocket, when her mother aggravated him by talking to a bird and saying to the bird, " You did not get drunk last night and lose your money, did your Her father also threw the water in which he was washing himself over her mother. Did not know whether her mother went from home that afternoon, as she (witness) went out. Knew that her mother had tumours on the side of her head, and that she went out on the two following days, after which she kept her bed until she died. Ellen Murphy, a neighbour, said that on the Sunday morning spoken to by the last witness she mat the prisoner, who told her that be and the deceased had been quarrelling about money matters, and that having thrown ► shell at her and struck her on the head with it, which he did not intend doing, he thought "he bad does for her," but that be believed then she was all right. Witness afterwards went and saw her in bed, and the name afternoon the de ceased came to witness and they had some beer together, and afterwards tea. - - - Eliza Hammersley, another neighbour, also gave evidence of the prisoner telling her he had thrown the shell at and struck the deceased with it, and that she (witness) had suggested to the prisoner that it would be better fur them to separate, and for him to allow the deceased a mainte nance rather than lead the quarrelsome life they were doing. Mr. Cmgeen, surgeon, of Rotherhithe, deposed that be was called to attend the deceased on the Monday week following the injury being received, ►nd found her in a dying state. She expired the same day. Witness had since made a poet mortem examination of the body, and on raising the scalp found a depressed piece of skull, as if punched in, on a part of the head oorrespooding with a tumour. There was slight inflammation of the dare meter, and the other membranes of the brain had a deposit on them of in cipient inflammation. The injury to the skull might have been ocaulioned by the shell produced. Polioe-constable Cheeseman, 168 R, in answer to the ma• gistrate, said the coroner's jury had returned a verdict of manslaughter against the prisoner. Mr. Train said he should commit the prisoner for trial, but accepted bail for his appearance for the completion of the depositions.

On Tuesday there was a rise ID yarns of Id. per lb. as compared with the previous Fri day, and of 3d. as compared with the previous Tuesday, and • good business was done in nearly all kinds. Yester day and today II further advance of 2.d. to 3d. per lb. was realised, and both shippers and speculators have bought rather freely. Agents who have been in the market for years past say', they never remember anything like the excitement and wik!sess which has characterised the trade. The sales have been immense and mainly to hold on speculation. In cloths• rather large business was done at 3d. to 6d per piece advance, sod the busbies. has been considerable since that day. Yesterday enormous sales of cloth were effected at 124 to ltd. per piece over Tuesday's quotations, and the' market closes withr.ut any symptoms of change). In cloth nearly all the business done is reported to be on specula tion, and consequently there is no decrease of stocks in this market worth mentioning, and as much of these must come in for re-sale probably before many orders are given to make, in case of a pause in the present mania, which must come some time, the prospect for manufacturers is anything but encouraging. WOOLLEN CM/TH.—Um" Acnwrr 30.—The month closes auspiciously, with a decided improvement in the market. The halls this morning were well attended, and a more spirited tone prevailed. lo the coloured market several good parcels of tweeds and fancy coatings met with purchasers. Witneys, beavers, and other autumn fabric., in various styles, constituted the chief demand in the white MAIL Plain cloths were not much iniuired for. Prices re• main firm, and in low goods exhibit an upward tendency. HARDWARE.—BIRLINGHAII, Auoutrr 30.—There has been a steady improvement is the state of trade in this town fur the last fortnight ; • good number of orders have come in on account of the home trade, and in foreign department them is also more activity. The m►nufacturers engaged in the production of the class of goods most in demand during the autumn are getting busier; and an stocks in the hands of the country shopkeepers are low, there appear& to be • fair prospect of a steady, though perhaps moderate demand for the fall. The gun trade continues brisk; the tube-makers, edge•tool•makers, and metal-rollers, all of them important branches, employing • great number of men, are doing an average trade. The jewellers and others who are in the fancy trades report business dull. The manufacturing trades of the adjoining district show more life; for railway fittings there are more orders in. and the principal works in the neighbourhood of Wedoesbory arson at full time. The iron trade is a little firmer; mine of the pig masters have endeavoured to obtain an advance of prices, which has not been wooded to. CORN.

Small lots of Irish were on offer, but even the supply in this class was very limited. most of the dealers having taken their stocks on to Bernet. The few lota on offer were mostly of very inferior description, although there were exceptional animal" worth purchasing. Prices asked ranted from 31. to 31. Its. The show of sheep and lambs was this erorniog usually large, and lota continued to arrive up till owe. There were a considerable number of email lots of Cheviots on offer, several lota of half-breda, most ci which were of the best description, and two lot." of crosses, the one numbering 2510, and the other 200. There was • large attendance of dealers, many of whom roomed anxious to make purchases if a reduction could he obtained. 2ts. was the average price asked for half•breds, and Ire. for creams. The show of pip was less than that of last week, but the majority of those on offer were in very good con. dition. There was • good attendance of buyers, and owing to the low prioes and the somewhat limited supply, trade in the morning was very brisk, a clearance being nearly effected before noon. Prices ranged from lls. to 16.., the sales in which higher rates were obtained being very limited. THE STEAM SHIPPING.—We are enabled to re port more favourably of business connected with steam ■hipping during the month now concluded, than bad pre viously existed ; and there is every appearance of the coo. tinuation of such activity for the present, at least. Several sales of steamers have taken place, inclusive of some Ma nage for the French transport service ; sod inquiries stiff prevail for vessels of large cammity, and for others of medium sins and fast. La a rule, our builders are fully ' employed, and not much disposed to enter into additional onitracta, unless at enhanced rates. The number of new steamers unsold is limited. Ou charters, for time, s fair amount of tonnage has been fixed, at current terms. Two transports, on French account, have been so eogixed for the conveyance of stores from France to Mexico ; and more steamers of large tonnage are required. For the Baltic sod Mediterranean trades, as improved feeling bas sriseu. Out ward freights of coal and iron bare been more middy offered; but homeward cargoes are not easily obtained. Steamers have been chartered at rather low rates for the later fruit cargoes from the Western Islands. From Quebec and Montreal good grain freights are offering, this, coupled with available outward cargo, offers good employment for vessels of suitable class sod tonnage.—(From the circular of Messrs.
