In cress-examination the witness said that upon some of the occasions when he saw them they were accompanied by other gentlemen, and appeared to be canvassing the votes. Bliss Morris gave eimilar evidence with regard to Mews. Lee and Whitman having gone to the defendant's forge on two or three mesaions prior to the election.

(Before Mr. Commix/mer liolroyd.) ne It ?HAMM. _ Mr. Seed appeared for the bankrupt, and Mr. Sykes foe the official assignee, at this sitting for examination and discharge. The banlcrupt had bean in business for several years as a potato salesman in Covent-garden, and he succeeded by dint of industry and attention to business in amassing 1,300/. Being desirous of investing his money profitably, he took shares in the General Exchange Bank, for which he paid ; he also took shares in the Oriental and Commercial Bank, and is the London and Hamburg Bank ; his total outlay being 1,3;51. He fondly imagined that the investment would prove remunerative, but unfortunately all of the companies had become involved in difficulties, and, in addition to losing the 1,375/. the bankrupt had been called upon to pay calla on hi s shares. To these causes the failure was attributable. The creditors had known the bankrupt for several years, and some wbo were present expressed their sympathy. His Honour granted an immediate order of discharge. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT. —GUILDPORD, ArarsT 13.

Lee and Whatman, was then examined, and he stated that upon becoming acquainted with the nature of__Mie evidence that was to be given by the defendant, he called Ur atten tion to the serious nature of the charge he was making, and told him that he was sure to be contra- Mated •by both Mr. Lee and Mr. Whatman, and if the committee did not believe him, be was certain to be indicted for perjury. Notwithstanding this warning it appeared that the defendant declared that he was speaking the truth, and insisted upon giving his evidence before the committee. Mr. Sleigh having summed up the case for the &len dant, The Solicitor-General proceeded to reply, and after hav ing referred to the main facts of the case, he observed upon the absurdity of supposing that gentlemen in the position of Mews. Lee and Whatman should have acted in the manner stated by the defendant in his evidence. He at the same time asked the jury to consider whether it was likely that Mears. Lee and Whatman should have come forward to commit wilful and deliberate perjury for the purpose of convicting the defendant, and said that unless they bad done so, it was impossible to come to any other conclusion than that the defendant had committed the offence imputed to him by the present indictment. The Recorder then summed up, and the jury, after • short deliberation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. THE POLICE COURT& WORSHIP-STREET. H'nry Edwards, of Taep-street, Bethnal-green, was summoned by Mr. Christie, inspector of nuisances for the parish of Bethnal-green, for keeping swine, and having an accumulation of filth and muck on his premises num bered 97 arch of the Great Eastern Railway. The nuisance was fully proved, and in the course of his evidence the inspector said—Defendant removes all the re fuse from the London Hospital, muck and filth of the most fearful description—even to the rags of the stale poultices. (Sensation in court.) The stench from the place is most sickening, caused by this and the swine together. It is impossible to get a fair insight of the place. for he keeps a huge mastiff, with a chain that goes completely scion the yard, and deaths from cholera have occurred near the spot. Mr. D'Eyncoert—Does the defendant sleep there Defendant—l sleep just opposite it ; sometimes among it.• I ain't heard of no cholera as you tells about ' • but if it's wrung, I won't take away no trore of the stu ff from the hospital. Mr. D'Erscourt—You must be a very strong man. Mr. Christie—He was fined here, sir, scene time since for having a stock pig on his premises ; and then he stated that sooner than part with it he would have it sleep be neath his bed. Mr. D'Eyncourt—When did you give this man notice to do away with this nuisance? Mr. Christie—On the 30th of July last, air, and it exists now. Defendant—l have cleared all away. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Am I to disbelieve the inspector's word on oath ? Yon are liable to a fine of 101. a day from the day of notice. Doubtless you would clear all away and commence again ; that is what you mean. Evidently you are a most obstinate man. A summons will be taken out against you for keeping swine ; and the best thing you can do is to 'Amor all away, and keep it so, before the sum mons comes off ; or, depend on it, I will be good as my word, and fine you 10s. for every day you are proved to offend. Defendant—Well, I have aleared all away. The authorities of the Great Eastern Railway were summoned also for having and allowing a building called the " Model Lodging-house," in St. John-street, Bethnal. green, to be in an unfit state for occupation. Mr. Christie said that although 100 persons were in this place, there was not a drop of water for their use, save what was caught when it rained or was begged out of doors. Two deaths from cholera bad occurred there. Be required an order for a supply of water to be furnished, and the place properly cleansed. A gentleman, whose name did not transpire, denied the company's liability in the matter, but Mr. D'Eyneourt made the requisite order, and expressed astonishment at the management of a great company allowing such a state of thuip on premises claimed as their own.

A. PULBROOK: London, 31, Threadneedle-street, August 13. AGRICULTURAL PROSPECTS. The week opened with showery weather, but was mostly fine during the after part of the day, with occasional bright gleam' of sun, and strong breezes from the west and south-west. Oa Monday the morning was thick with an uncertain promise ; at 10 a.m. slight rain fell, increasing at noon, and this proved a settled steady fall during the remainder of the day, while at night it was very heavy, with a violent gale of wind from the south-west ; the ther mometer at noon down to 59 degrees, and the barometer as low as 29.75 inches. Oa Tuesday heavy showers fell with a continuance of high gales, and harvest-work was gene rally suspended. Our &deices from that day were mostly of an unfavourable character. From the East Riding of Yorkshire it was stated :—" Weather has not been at all favourable for the crops: • good deal of rain has fallen at intervals, with • low temperature for the season of the year, and the grain conies slowly to maturity. The cutting of oats has commenced in some forward patches in this district, but harvest will not be general for a week or ten days, even with hot forcing weather." From Norfolk: " The weather since this day week has been unsettled, and a good deal of rain has fallen. To-day is fine, with a gale from the S.W. Harvesting has partially com menced in this neighbourhood : both barley and wheat are reported to be falling light." From Lancashire it was remarked : " The weather has been unfavourable through the week, as we have had boisterous winds and some heavy falls of rain, which have laid many of the grain crops, now fully ripe. Cutting has com menced pretty generally through West Lancashire ; the fanners speak well of barley and fair of oats; but of wheat they report somewhat despondingly, with lighter sheaves than usual, and they are anxious for • more genial state of weather." From Suffolk our advice. run :—"The weather continues cold, and with very little sun. Wheat cutting has just commenced, and, as each day advances, will become more general. The opinion of the crop is not encouraging." From Northumberland it was observed : " The weather since our last report has been cold and un setled ; wind variable, since yesterday S.W. and rail." Wednesday was a very showery day, conti nuing to be quite unfavourable for harvest work. From the west coast of Scotland it was remarked :—" We have had much rain during the week." On Thursday some slight showers fell, but being a very breezy day, harvest work was par tially proceeded with ; though our &deices were not very encouraging. From Suffolk, near the most, it was written : —"The weather continues dull and unsettled ; the amount of rain however which has fallen is not heavy, but ex perience tells us that to produce quality in grain we need a dry warm sun at the critical period for the ripening of cereals." From the interior of the same county our ad vices stated :—" The continuance of unsettled weather during the week has very much interfered with harvest operations. Wheat cutting has become general, some fields are already cleared, and a few samples of Talavera were brought to market, but the condition is bad." From Buck inghamshire it was stated :—" A large breadth of wheat has fallen before the sickle ; the same remark applies to oats, but little of either has been carted. The weather con tinues showery, and unless we get settled weather shortly, I fear the wheat will be hurried into stack' too quickly. As I have told you before, the quantity as to yield varies much, according to the natio, of the soil On the heavy clay districts the crop is a light one." From Warwicluhire :—" We have had another week of very unsettled weather, which is now looked upon with much anxiety, interrupting as it does harvest operations, which otherwise would now be general." On Friday the morning was fine, and it held up to one p.m., when showers again fell, and continued at intervals for the remainder of the day. From Devonshire it was stated:—" Harvest operations progress. We have continual threatening* of rain without much falling, so that large quantities of corn are cut, and a considerable quantitystacked, in condition dry enough to cave it, but not dry enough tocome immediately to market." From Lin colnshire our advice' stated: " Since last week a great change has taken placefortheworse as regards the growing crops, owing, no doubt, to the cold, wet, and ungenial weather. All the best crops of wheat are much lodged and twisted, which must prevent the ears from being filled as they should be and, besides, mildew has fallen upon many crops, and when this occurs a great deficiency is the re sult in both quality and quantity. The barley is much laid by the rains, and I expect to find the grain small in consequence." Saturday was the only day without rain during the week, but it was dull and gloomy at times, and although the barometer has risen sad got up to 30 degrees, the weather does not seem settled. Still, the temperature being higher, gives hope of improvement, and next week will be yet more important than this has been, as harvest work will be more general—Mark-lane Express. The building trades of Manchester are threatened with a strike. Should the threat be fulfilled same 18,000 poses will be throws out et employment THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY COLLISION. Yesterday afternoon Mr. IL Blagden, the coroner for the western division of Sussex, opened an investigation at the Railway Anna Inn, Horsham, into the circumstances attending the death of John Snatt, aged 2i, a stoker in the employ of the London and Brighton Railway Company, who was killed on Saturday night by a collision at the Itchingfield Junction, as described in our yesterday's paper. The jury, having been sworn, proceeded by special engine, accompanied by the coroner, to view the body, which was lying at the ltchlogtieln Junction, and the scene of the accident. Mr. J. J. Merriman, so li citor, of Queen-street, Cheap side, attended on behalf of Edward Reay, the driver of the Portsmouth down train; and Mr. Carpenter, superinten dent of police on the Brighton line, represented this coni- PanY• On the return of the jury, Edward Jackson, engine driver in the service of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Company, spoke to the identity of the deceased. Mr. Thomas Bryan Greenwood deposed that he was a surgeon at Two Mile Ash, and that on Saturday night, at a quarter to 10 o'clock, he was called to the junction. He went directly, and found the deceased lying on the metals, quite dead. The frontal bone of the head was driven quite in on the brain, which was quite sufficient to account for death. He had sustained no other injury. He directed the removal of the body to a cottage adjacent. James Strndwick said—l am a signalman at Stammer ham Junction, on the Mid-Sussex Railway. Ido not know how far Shunmerharn Junction is from Horsham or Itchingfield. The Portsii.outh express train from London ought to leave Three Bridges at 8.33, and run through Horsham without stopping, passing my box. at 8.50. The 7.15 up train from Brighton is due at Horsham at 8.33. Prom my signal box I can see the distance signal at Itching field signal box, but we cannot see the semaphore at Itchingfield. At night our signals are by lamps, red indi cating to stop, and when it is all Fight to go on the ilin tance signal shows white, and the ' auxiliary " signals at the branches show green. The Portsmouth express passed my box on Saturday , night at 9.16-8.50 was the proper time. I always book as t,heyy pass ; it is part of my duty to do so. I noticed nothing about the signals as she paned. The up trains front Brighton should have passed my sta tion at 8.29. On the night in question the train never reached my box, but I heard the trains go together at about 9.17. I did not leave my box or look at the other signals then. I had to book my train. By Mr. Merriman-1 son not certain whether the train wlOch preceded the Portsmouth train down wits behind time or punctual. The preceding up train from Brighton was behind time. I have not my hook with me. (The further eeidence of the witness on this point was postponed for the production of his book.) On Saturday, just before this accident, 1 did not see the Itchingfield distances If I bad seen the signal at Itelingtield indicating er I should have stopped the train. If 1 had seen the Itc ing field distance signal indicating danger I should not have allowed the Portsmouth down train to have passed without warning it. By the Coroner—lf I bad known there had been any thing the matter before the train got to my signals I could have stopped it. By Mr. Merriman—Unless I had been instructed by signal I should not have stopped the train. I was not told to-day either to bring my books with me or to leave them behind. By the Coroner—The signal to stop from one box to another is by five beats on Tyer's patent signal. I bad no instructions from the Itchingfield signal-man on that night to stop the train, and it would not have been right for me to stop the train without such instructions. Charles Hunt, fireman of the Brighton up train on Saturday, said—On Saturday night we ought to have left Brighton at 7.15, but we were 12 minutes late at starting. The driver of our engine was James hlanwell, and William Burgess was the guard. Coming to the Itching field Junction the distance signal was " off," showing that the line was clear. It showed a white light. The sema phore at the box and the distance semaphore were also all right, showing a green light. We were going very slowly indeed at that time—not above ten miles 'an hour at the outside. When we got to the distance semaphore, which is just at the junc tion, I saw a train coming down the main line. I said to my mate, " They are coming through us," and I immediately put my break on and jumped off. Our engine was near upon crossing the main down line when I jumped. The collision took place directly after wards. I then went round to the engine of the Ports mouth express, and I saw the driver, Edward Reay, under neath the two trains, tying to pull out the deceased, John Snatt, who was lying on the ground between the trains. Together we pulled him out from underneath. He ap peared to breathe, but I saw directly afterwards that he was dead. His head was dreadfully smashed. Our engine and tender were then on the metals, but the engine and tender of the Portsmouth train were both off. By Mr. Merriman—l don't know what time the Ports mouth train was due at Hersh:nil, but I know that she was late at Itchingfield, and ought to have been past there. I can't say at what rate the Portsmouth train was going. By the Coroner— We can see the down distance signal from Itchingfield when we are passing Stannuerham ; we cannot see a train approaching, as there is a curve there and an embankment. William Burgess, whose head was severely wounded and enveloped in bandages, depcsed-1 am a guard in the ser vice of the company, and on Saturday evening last I left the Brighton station with a train for Horsham. Our right tune for leaving was 7.1.5, but we did not leave till 7.27. The reason of our being late was that we waited for the arrival of the London train. We left Southwater at 9.10, but were due there at 8.26. This delay was occasioned by our waiting seventeen minutes at Shore ham for the Portsmouth train, and fourteen minutes extra at Partridge-green, waiting for a down train from Horsham. It is a single line, and we were waiting for the " I noticed at Itchingfield that the distance signal was all right, the auxiliary showed a green light, and the sema phore a green light—indicating everything clear. The dis tance signal really had no light. I took up my staff just before we got to the auxiliary signal, and was showing it on the left side of the carriage. While so standing I found that something struck my back. I cannot remember much more, as I was stunned by the blow. By the Coroner—The distance signal, which showed no light, ought to have showed a white light. I saw, how ever, that the disc was all right and indicated " alldear." It was dusk ; but it was light enough to see that on the bank. Mr. Merriman—Are you not instructed when a signal lamp is out to atop the train? Witness—Our instructions are when a distance lamp is out to go on to the next signal. Mr. Merriman—flow far should you have gone on part the distance signal before you stopped! Witness—Until we got to the auxiliary, and then if that had been out we should have stopped. if the auxiliary showed all right our duty was to go on. By the Foreman—l certainly expected to ses a white light at the distance signal, but as it was not there I looked at the disc, and saw that it was all right. The coroner here indicated that he should take the evi dence of every person who presented himself before him, whether his conduct might have been such that it might hereafter be called in question or not. James Manvell, driver of the Brighton up train, oar roborated the evidence given by the fireman Hunt and by the last witness as to the signals, except that he stated that there was " a shave" of white light in the distance signal where the last witness said there was none. As it was so small he sounded the whistle, shut off steam, and prepared to stop. When he got up to it, however, he saw the auxiliary and the semaphore showing the pro per green light. He then took off the break and proceeded with the train. About 50 yards further he saw the head light of a train coming. He spoke to his mate and said, " Good God, is that a train coming? If it is he is coming right upon us." Witness found that he was foul of the road, so he put on steam and tried to get across, but in an instant the Porte , mouth engine ran into his tender. Witness's engine I broke away from the train, and he stopped it just beyond the signal box. The signalman stood outside close by the ladder. Witness said to him, " Good God, how was this managed? My signals were all right." He said " Yes, if you were coming off the branch ; go back and look for yourself ; the main line signals are at ' stop.' " Witness was at that time standing looking at the signals. The semaphore was at "stop," but he could not see the dis tance. James, the under-guard of the Portsmouth train, observed that the down distanoe signal wag off, and witness replied, " I can't answer for yours, I know mine showed all right." By Mr. Merriman—Onr instructions are if a lamp is out to it as a stop or danger signal. The diatom. Mgnal was not out. There was a little light in it. It was next proposed to call the signalman, but as it appeared that his instruction-book was not in court, it was determined at this point to adjourn the inquiry. An adjournment accordingly took place to Friday next, when the company will produce plans of the line and all the instruction books required. GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN RAILWAY (or InELasso).—At the half-yearly meeting of the proprie ton of this railway, held on Saturday, the chairman, Mr. William Houghton, referred to the satisfactory condition of the company. He maid that at the last meeting he had pprroomised that the dividend of 44 per cent. would not be demeaned He had now the satisfaction to state that in consequence of the improved condition of the line the directors were enabled to declare a dividend of b per cent., carry forward a sum of 4,6281., and add to the reserve and insurance fund a mune no less than 10,0001. He was happy to say that during the monetary and commercial crisis, now peering away, the stock of the company had not in any degree deteriorated in the market, nor was there any necessity for borrowing at the high rates of interest now charged. The report having been adopted, the meeting was mode special, for the purpose of approvini si tthe bills for the purchase of the Cork and Y • ay, and also far enabling the directors to 13,0001. to the railway from Parsonstown to Parttime-bridge.
