some l find of plaster upon it, to soften the part iu order to —prepare is fee another- Arming: - --About — r - week - after= wards they dressed it with a particular ointment. A plaster was also applied to the tumour, and that had the effect of making her ill. She recovered in two days, but she was ultimately told that she had upon her hand a fungus tumour which could not be removed except by amputa tion. Mrs Cox was at Sheffield once or twice after this, and on the 19th of November last, she returaed home with the intention of having her arm amputated. When she ar rived at hums, she sent for Mr. Anderson, surgeon, of Heade, who also told her that amputation was necessary, and he ac cordingly took measures to allay irritation, and to prepare her for the operation. She had been a delicate woman, and after h r return home she was informed by the prisoner that he could cure her without giving any pain and without sacrificing the limb. She consequently allowed him to apply a red powder to her thumb and wrist, which he tied up. Mr. Anderson vow her alter this, and he wanted to have the powder washed off, but Mrs. Cox desired to try the experiment, and the powder was therefore allowed to remaic.—Mr. Archbold explained that under the skin, all over the surfer° of the body, were a number of minute ves sels called absorbents, which communicate with certain Island*, and deposit in them what they absorb. Therefore, sf any irritating matter be taken up by the absorbents, they are generally swollen to a very considerable degree. It was suggested that in this case some deleterious ingredient, such as arsenic or white hellebore, contained in the powder, had been taken up by the absorbents and communicated to the system, and caused death.—The Judge, however, thought Uwe was no case to go to the jury, for, although death might have been caused by the application of some deleteri ous powder, it was possible that it might have been occa sioned by erysipelas, produced in some other means.—The jury acquitted the prisoner. This concluded the business of the wires. CENTRAL CRIMINAL CO URT.-YESTERDAY. OLD COURT. A Co:gem:mom ov Pasea.—J. Childs, C. Piper, E. Parker, T. Oliver, J. .Pratten, and E. Childs, were in dicted for unlawfully entering upon, and taking possession of a piece of ground at Woodford Wells, in the parish of Wood ford, in Essex, the property of Mr. W. Wiggins.—The point in dispute was, whether this land was the property of )&r. Wiggins, or waste land,—After the proceedings had continued some time, his Lordship expressed his opinion that a dear legal right to exclusive possession in the prose cutor had :wen established; and he had is grFat objection to proceeding criminally where the civil process was sufficient. The right, be which way it might, wss not worth contendio.g for, and it seemed unwise to persevere in the case.—Mr. Bal lantine, under that advice, would withdraw the defence, and his lordship, then, admonishing the prisoners on the illegality of their violence, directed th.sn to enter into their own recognizances of 101. earls to appear for judgment when called upon.—On the counsel's advice Mr. Childs and the prosecutor shook hands in court, end thus gave a termination to a trial not often seen in a criminal court. ROBBERY. — F. Webb, a waiter at Webb's Ilotel, in Picca dilly, and his wife, were indicted for stewing three 5/. notes from the bag of •lady, named Andrews, who was stopping at the hotel on the 3rd of Nov.—Mrs. Andrews deposed, that on Tuesday the 2nd of November she received one 5/. note from her son, and, on the fallowing morning, three more. The last she put intoher bag, and put the bag under a great-coat in her sitting-room at Webb's Hotel. On her return in the evening, she saw the bag lying on, instead of under, the great coat, and the money gone.—Mr. 'f. J. Andrews, the lady's ion, corroborated her evidence.-0. Bentley, a milkman, deposed that he received a 51. note from the wife of the pri soner for change. This note was shown to be one of the notes taken from Mrs. Andrews batt.--Yoliceman 119 F, who apprehended the prisoner on the '27th November, stated that on telling Mrs. Webb that he had none to take her into custody, she said that she had received from her husband a 61. note in a letter, which she got Mr. Bentley to change.— Mr. Ballantine allowed that there was no evidence against the woman.—Mr. Doane addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoners.—Mr. Corn. Bullock summed up, and the jury re • turned a verdict of gaily against the male prisoner, but acquitted his wife.—lie was sentenced to twelve months' im prisonment, with hard labour. Before Mr. Bullock. Ponce EVIDENCE.— Thomas y, 26, was indicted for feloniously receiving some knives, fonts, and spoons, the property of Edward Tye, well knowing the same to have been stolen.—The prosecutor is the landlord of the George the Fourth public-house, Brampton, and on the night of the 21st Nov. hit house was burglariously entered, and the articles mentioned in the indictment, and some money and other property, stolen therefrom. There was no proof that the prisoner was in any way concerned in the robbery, and the principal evidence against him consisted of the deposi tions of a police-constable, who had been placed, by order of his inspector, at the time the prisoner and sums other persons were confined in different cells at the police-station, in a position where he could hear what took place between them, and he professed to detail a long cnnversation word for word, interspersed with the laughter which some portions of it caused between them, mid which amounted, in point of fact, to a confes-ion of the offence imputed to the prisoner.— Mr. Ballantine, in addressing the jury for the prisoner, charoc!etised the mode that had been taken to procurea con viction in this ease as 'Trod disgraceful find un-English. There was not a tittle of evidence against the prisoner except the pretended conversation and confession, which had been obtained by placing a policemen as a spy, to notice what any unfortunate plummier might happen to say in the privacy of the cell in which they were confined ; and he appealed to the jury whether it would be safe, or satisfactory to their own consciences, to convict a prisoner upon such evidence? He could not help expressing his opinion that it was most disgraceful to employ the police in this manner; and he said it was ridiculous to suppose that any man could give a correct account of a conversation that took place between three or four persons under such circum stances. Ile asked the jury [whether, although they had heard the statementdeliberately read, they would undertake to repeat half-a.doxen sentences of it ? Ile was quite sure that he (the learned counsel) could not de so ; and he put it to the jury whether they could safely rely upon the evidence of the police constable with regard to this conversation, although he had professed to give such a circumstantial de tail of, what took place ? He earnestly called upon the jury to check the un-English and scandalous course of pro ceeding that had been adopted by the police in this case, by acquitting the prisoner.—Nlr. Bullock, in summing up the case, bnelly alluded to the fact, that had been produced in evidence, and observed, in re ference to the proceeding at the police station, that, in his opinion, it was one that ought very rarely to bo resorted to, and the person who was employed to listen to the conversa tion ought to be a man of well-known good character, intel ligence, and probity, and whose testimony should be above suspicion.—The jury, after deliberating for about five minutes, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Swan Woaa, 19, was then indicted for feloniously re ceiving another portion of the property stolen from the pro secutor in the last indictment —Mr. Payne, for the pro secution, said that the principal evidence against the pri soner would consist of the statement that had been detailed in the former case. He was, of course, not aware upon what ground they had returned their verdict in that case, and be would merely observe, .that U it wan given on account of their dislike of the employment of the police as spies on this occasion, he wculd remark that this would cost an imputation of perjury upon the constable, who had merely acted in obedi ence to the orders of hie superiors. and he should feel it his duty to institute a fur.her inquiry into the matter. If, how ever, they merely entertained a doubt with regard to the ac curacy of the ooastable, and returned their verdict in accor dance with that feeling, he might, perhaps, adopt a different course.—The foreman of the jury raid they were of opinion that they could not rely upon the accuracy of the constable, as it appeared that he did not reduce the statement to writing until three hours after it had been made.—Mrt Payne said, that, as this was the case, he did not consider it advisable to proceed with the present indictment.—A verdict of Not Guilty was then recorded. NEW COURT. As OLD LONDON SKAILPER. - Betwixt Billington, a feeble looking man, aged sixty-two years. was indicted for having stolen on the 13th of °ember last a pocket-book containing seventeen 101. notes, the property of John Smith.—Mr. Ryland and Mr. Laurie, city pleaders, prosecuted on behalf of the city authorities, and Mr. Dalian tine defended the prisoner. —Mr. Ryland stated the case at considerable length ; the particulars will be fresh in the re collection of the public. The prosecutor had recently re turned from Australia, and on the 13th of October got into conversation with two men, near Redford.square ; they yisited several public-houses and coffee-shops, and in the course of their perambulations the prosecutor called at Smith and Co.'s bank, presented a bill, and in the presence of one of the men received the notes iu question. They *Ammar& went to Bernard's-inn Coffee-house, where they were joined by the prisoner, and the man who paw the rusticator receive the notes, and who called himself Captain Hartley, said he would avail himself of an offer made by the prisoner to lead him a sum, and he (the captain) pretended to require a stamp. The prisoner said he wesdd go and consalchia utto.ney, and as a security for his return he left a pocket-book containing flash notes for 3001. ea the table. The prosecutor was induced to go with the soi-olioant Captain Harley fir the stamp, and to leave his pocketlatash containing real note% as a security foe his return. When he got back, he found the prisoner had gone with the pocket-book. He informed a policeman of the robbery, as& the remit was the apprehen sion of the prise:oak by an cheer of the detective force.— Me. Ballantine addressed the Pay for the prisoner, eontentl ing that the identity was not established, and that the city authorities had acted midair?) , in prostrating the ease. They had suppressed evidence favmrable to the prisoner.—Henry Parr was called. lie was potboy at Bernard's-inn on the 13th October, and remembers the three men coming in, and he would swear the primmer was not one of them. CrOOl.• examined : He supplied them with gin and brandy, which was paid far by the proseenter. When witness left the room, he suspected the two men, es they had " a simple-looking comintmart"'with them, and he returned with the poker, as *lto stir the fire. He did not suspect the prosocutor, although he had never seen either party before.—Margaret Chapman, barmaid at the Lincolnshire-house, want:ailed. She did not think the prisoner was one of the men.—Mr. Ryland replied, making some stringent remarks on Mr. Ballantine for insinuating that the city authorities had with held evidence, when he was interrupted by Mr. Ballantine, appealing to the Recorder, asking whether he had said so t—Mr. Ballantine said, that his obeervatien was, that evidence in favour of the prisoner had been repeated sup. , and he that statement .— The Recorder hk re t i a l e m a i se has been conducted with perfect propriety, and such imputations are ill-founded, and utterly an gentleman of the bar.—The Recorder summed up, astM: ta uri e to i t4nd the prisoner fining. A former conviedal !M .was then proved against him, for which he had senteened,to 'even .ream' transportation, but the sentesten was commuted to a lighter punishment. Subsequently he had been convicted for felony, but the indictment was ..~::. , ignored.—The learned Recorder sentenced the prisoner on the resent ocenton to fifteen years' transportation. The convict protested his innocence.—This ease concluded the business of the session. POLlCE.—TzinespAy. BOW-STREET.—A YOUNG HYPOCRITE.-17. Carrigan, the lad who on the 7th inst. charged a boy named Wallace with robbing him of 11. Si. in a coffee-shop, was charged with stealing 21. from his father, Mr. W. Carman, a cab proprietor. It will be remembered that on a former owe ' sion the prisoner (then the prosecutor) said that his father had been dead for some time, and that since his death he had been in the employment of a farmer in Hertfordshire ; that oncoming to London ho took a lodging at a coffee-shop in Queen-street, and while he was taking his tea there on the 6th inst. he was robbed by Wallace. Wallace was com mitted, tried, convicted, and sentenced by Mr. Serjt. Adams to nix months' imprisonment. Meanwhile, Moore, the beadle of Covent-garden market, obtained a situation for the prisoner as errand-boy to Mr. Hughes, fruit ' salesman, and he remained there until Thursday night, when his father, having with some difficulty traced him, gave him in charge for stealing 21. The prisoner's father stated Mat the prisoner had robbed him of several sums of money from time to time, and on Se turday week he had decamped with 21. The whole of the story he had told when giving his evidence was false. The account given by Moore of the manner in which the prisoner had posed his time was highly amusing. Having got the " place," he had, by his steadiness and good behaviour, se cured the good graces of his master's family, and not only used he to take his meals with them, but he read prayers with them every evening. He could read and write well, and was considered a very clever lad. He used to talk a great deal about his deceased parents, and he was very anxious that Moore should go with him " some day, when he had time, to see his father's grave, in Paddington church yard." He said that his father had been a livery-stable keeper, and was buried by a subscription of the omnibus and cab proprietors and drivers with whom he was acquaint ed. However, on Su idayeveniog, after going to chopel, he went out, by Mrs. Hughes's permission, to take a walk in the Park, Where he met his father, and very unwillingly consented to go home with him, but artfully contriving to slip away, he returned to Mr. Hughes's, and said nothing of what had occurred. He continued to do his work, and read prayers, as before, until Thursday night, when his father having " found him out," gave him into custody.— Mr. Jardine left it to the father to decide whether he would press the charge or not —The father said that if the prisoner would go home with him, and promise to behave better in future, he would forgive him; and the prisoner having been with great difficulty induced to consent, and give the re quired promise, was set at liberty. WORSHIP-STREET.—THe DISABLED SOLDIER.—W. Cotton, the wounded soldier, whose case has excited so much public commiseration, entered the court accompanied by his wife and child, and communicated to Mr. Bingham that his claims had at length been taken into favourable consideration by the military authorities at whose instance he had under gone the customary med ical inspection preparatory to his enrolment on the list of permanent out-pensioners attached to Chelsea Hospital. The limited allowance of eighteen months' pay which he had already received, was perfectly distinct from the pension granted upon the Chelsea estab lishment, and that it was intended as an extraordinary grant from her Majesty's Bounty. Mr. Bingham expressed his gratification that such a satisfactory turn had taken place in his affairs, but said that his attention had been directed that morning to some inculpatory observations which appeared in • leading article of the Time., in which his case was inci dentally mentioned, and a distinct imputation made against him that he was a person of unworthy character, he having on two occasions deserted from his regiment, and been thrice convicted of offences while serving in the army. — The soldier, who appeared equally surprised and hurt at the alleged imputations, assured the magistrate that they were entirely destitute of foundation. The certificate in his dis charge papers would attest the fact that he left the army with an unblemished reputation.—Mr. Bingham said that he had himself seen the certificate of his commanding officer, the authenticity of which had been placed beyond doubt, in which it was stated that his character was good," and it appeared difficult to reconcile that fact and the subse qeent recognition of his claims to a permanent pension ' with the delinquencies imputed to him.—The magistrate then handed over to him the amount of several additional sub scriptions he had received, for which the soldier expressed his gratitude, and left the court with the intention of starting immediately for Manchester, his native town, in obedience to the directions of the Chelsea authorities.—The contribu tors of the following donations on his behalf, requested th.,t they might be acknowledged in the newspaper*: " J. W., 101. lls. ;" " A Lady, 11. ;. "Major-Gen. W. Napier, Go vernor of Guernsey, 31. ;" " A Soldier's Widow, 6s. ; " and " Visitors of the Parlour of the Duke of Clarence, ower road, Islington, 175." The half of a 51. Bank note, No. 14,830, was also received for the poor-box of the court. MARYLEBONE.—A DEAR RIDE.—John J'ardoe was charged with having defrauded the Great Western Railway Company, by riding a greater distance than that for which he had paid his fare. The prisoner bad entered a carriage at Swindon, having paid one shilling for a ticket from that place to Shrivenham. On the arrival of the train at Pad dington the fraud was discovered, and, as the prisoner was unable to pay the excess fare demanded, viz , eleven shillings, he was given into custody. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said that he fell asleep, and remained in that state of somnolescence until the train stopped at Reading; he then thought that he might as well come on to London.—Mr. Collard, Superintendent of the Company's Police, said, that the accused was formerly a porter on the line, and that he must therefore be acquainted with the regulations as re garded the offence in question.—The prig-ner was ordered to pay eleven shillings, the sum claimed : in default of his ' doing so, seven days' imprisonment. He was then locked up. WESTMINSTER. SENDING A CHALLENGE.— Mr. Frederick Harrington Brett, many years a surgeon in the East India Company's service, was charged with sending a hostile letter to Dr. William Richard Basham, priocipal physician at the Westminster Hospital. The com plaint arose out of the circumstance of the defendant having been a candidate for the vacant office of surgeon at the West minster Hospital.—Tho letter containing the challenge having been shown to defendant ; he at once in reply to the interrogatory admitted it to be his writing. It ran thus: 44, Curzon.street, Hay Fair, Dec. 15. ' Sir,- -In a tsseq*eiwe of your tmwarnintable attack on my nth-ate character at a public incling held at the board room of the West minster Hospital, on the 12th inst. I request you will arrange a meet ing in communication with my friend, Mr. Ashford, at your earliest convenience. I am, sir, your obedient servant, Y. H. Duerr. Mr. Burrell having inquired whether the defendant wished to make any observation, Mr. Brett observed that be enter tained no !personal animosity against the complainant, but having been informed that he had used some very offensive and violent language with reference to him in the board room of the Westminster Hospital, he had, as a military man and a gentleman, considered it a duty to himself to take the steps he had done.—Dr. Basham denied most strongly that any observations that bad fallen from him on the occasion in question were of a personal character. He had felt it his duty to point out to the committee that the defendant was in a particular psition, by nature of which a great objection arose against him as a candidate.—Mr. Burrell inquired whether he was to understand that Mr. Brett was satis fied with the statement made by Dr. Basham, that his observations were not of a personal nature.— Mr. Brett replied that his feelings still were that Dr. %Ahem had spoken of him unhandsomely and unbecomingly. —Dr. Basham declared that his observations consisted of a ' statement of facts, and he repeated that he had not made any allusion of a personal nature.—Mr. Burrell said he must require Mr. Brett to enter into his own recog nisances of 100!., and two sureties of 501. each to keep the peace.—As too gentleman at the moment had only one friend with hint, the magistrate expressed himself satisfied with that person's entering into dou'ile the amount (1001.) with defendant's own recognizances.—Mr. Burrell, addressing Dr. Basham, as he was about to leave the witness-box, said, " On your prt, Sir, I hope you will give me your word of honour as a gentleman not to be provoked by any act of defendant's to any hostile meeting."—Dr. Barham gave the required promise.

THE MEXICAN CONSULATE. Much discontent is expressed in private letters from the city of Mexico, and by merchants in this city, commercially connected with Mexico, but in no way mixed up, either now or heretofore, with Mexican loan affairs, about the manner in which admittedi grievances are dealt with, not only by the government of that country, but by consular and diplomatic agencies whose duties should largely consist, as understood, in vindicating the rights and promoting the interests of their countrymen. Some few years since, previous to the French blockade we believe, the Mexican government imposed a eon sumo, or extra-eonsumo, duty on imported commo dities, contrary to express stipulations of treaty. The duty at the time was paid by the merchants under protest. After the passage of various notes, and some negotiation on the subject, the government of Mexico con fessed to the wrong, and promised redress, by refunding the values so extorted. To a deputation which waited upon him, three years ago, to urge the satisfaction of these claims, Lord Aberdeen promised they should be strongly enforced. Yet tho claimants thus unjustly despoiled are as yet no fur ther advanced in the object. And they attribute their ill success, not apparently without sufficient cause, to the want of exertion or neglect of the British consul, primarily, and, secondarily, to the British minister. Mr. Mackintosh, the consul, is engaged in exten sive money transactions on his own account with the Mexi can government as a merchant, out of which claims of his own may arise more worthy of his care than the interests of other parties. Or, having such gainful transaction., the consul may not like to offend the government as the grantor of good things to the merchant, by forcing too urgently and offensively upon its attention the prior and paramount ne cessity of fulfilling its obligations towards others. The con sul merchant, it is stated, has also with others farmed the tobacco duties. These considerations should demonstrate the impropriety and impolicy of appointing merchants a. con suls abroad. The case of vice-consuls is somewhnt different. As to Mr. Bankhead, the British minister, as he dees not sp-ak or understand the Spanish language at all, he is in the habit, it is stated, cf consulting Mr. Mackintosh, the Consul, on every subject or representation submitted to him, and of being guided by his advice. He is not, how ever, a singular example of the Foreign Office management, in selecting representatives for foreign stations, who can neither understand the people they are to treat with, nor be understood themselves. CROSSED BANKNAGS' CHEQUES. Sir,—The city writer of the Times of Thursday has thought proper to adopt the assertion of a correspondent who has suffered from the misapplication of a cheque for 791. lls. led. by his clerk, and founded • claim upon the Bank of Eng land, to restore the sum because they paid the cheque to one banker, the cheque being crossed with the name of a different banker " in opposition to the rule that crossed cheques can only be paid to the banking house indicated by the crossing, ' as asserted by the party who has been de frauded of the .cheque ; that the sufferers should be willing to adopt a flattering mode of special pleading may be excused, hut that a public writer should find fault with the Bank for not yielding to the demand made is some what astounding, for the custom is not so. A cheque is pay able to bearer; the custom of crossing a cheque was long ago found to be useful to many parties, but it is not impera tive on any. Ist. Crossing a cheque in blank and Co. is frequently adopted by the drawer to prevent its being pre sented, and cash demanded, as it must then go through a banker's hands and through the clearing-house, except when paid into the Bank of England or a joint-stock bank, neither of which use the clearing-house. 2ndly. Cheques are frequently crossed with the receiver's banker's name and Co. and it then serves as a sort of equi table receipt to the d rawer, in addition to the convenience ea to payment above-named. 3dly. Persons who receive cheques, without knowing to whom they will transfer them, cross them in blank and Co., as a mode of security in case of loss. These are the inducements to cross cheques, but the mercantile world knows that the understandin g is, that they must, when crossed, pass through a banker's hands, hut no hanker would be justified by custom in refusing to pay a cheque if crossed with thename of bank ing house A., and win presented by banker B. Cases of this description occur daily • ' drawers of cheques frequently cross them with wrong hankers' names in error, leaving them to be called for by the parties entitled to receive them. The Bank of England saw, when the cheque was presented, it was intended to pass through a banker's hand ; it was pre sented by a banker, although not the one whose name was written acmes ; let us suppose the Bank bad refesed to pay it to the Commercial Bank, what would have been the results ? The Commercial Bank would have brought an action against the drawer for the amount, as it came into their hands through a bond fide regular customer. The drawer would have said to the Bank of England, you have damaged my reputation by dishonouring my cheque, aad the complainants in vain would have endeavoured to fix their loss on the Commercial Bank, who had given value for it. A case of this kind occurred a short time ago. A person had his pocket picked of a creased cheque, the thief adroitly made some excuse at s respect able shop, got the tradesman to give change in part, who paid it into his banker, found the cheque had been stopped, but he recovered of the drawer in an action at law. It is hardly necessary to my that to put the crossing of a banker's name on a cheque on the same footing as • payee to a bill of exchange, would not only be attended with great trouble, but some risk. Suppose a banker was to stop payment in the middle of a given day, how would the holders of crossed cheques be situated, if they could not use them through another banker ? lll. balance of 45,0004.

By the postponement of the payment of the purchase money, the director' of the Glasgow, Kamm pock, and Ardrossan believe that for the t resent works they will not require to make more luau four calls of if. 10a. each, before Martinmas, 1831, inasmuch as when those calls shall have been paid the company are authorised by their act to borrow on mortgage or debenture to the extent of 210,000/., and they expect that by making throe calls during the next two year. they will have no ditficulty in opening the entire works to Kilmar nock and Irvine, and the .junctions with the present Aynthire and Antrossin Hailwaye, early in the year 1549." The noble chairman explained that he had taken no part in the discus-ion of the arrangements. The directors had driven a hard bargain with him, and they were per fectly right in hoeing done so. Ile had relinquished sews Oi 20,0 , 1. which the precious arrangement would have given him. Ile, there fore, felt no hesitation or delicacy in re's-minuend:lw the adoption of the report. Mr. Graham, of Ferenew, moved " That this meeting of the Glasgow, Kilmarnock, and .Arden son Railway Company, approve of the purchase of the Ardrossan Harbour ta ligilway, on the terms which have been submitted to this meeting, and instruct the directors to execute the contracts of gale of the .Irdrosaur liarbour anal Rail way, now laid before the meeting. The Lord Provost seconded the motion. In reply to a question put by Mr. Barlow, the Earl of Eglhiton exslained that all the arrangements which had been entered into by the directors with the Caledonian company were known ; but the directors of the company were bound in nothing ex cept to recommend to the shareholders the proemial of the Caledonian and wh'cli the meeting might rest satisfied should be dour before any agreement was come to on the subject. Mr. Graham's motion passed unanimously. MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.—Ting GREAT WESTEItN AND rue. Losuar AND NOUTII.WIOTENN.—A VO:UMill011.4 COM spondefwe between the Chairmen of these two companies, with an equally voluminous preface, in the form of a letter from the secretary of the Great Western to his directors, was pub lished in yesterday's Herald. The personal question at wale between these parties is one in whir h, in our estimation, the public has tuarvellousiv little concern. And us the only point to be gained by printing the 'Correspondence at full length is, showing which party behaved meet or least handsomely, the waste of the Apace it would require would be positively sinful. Thus much, however, we may way: After a deliberate and dispassionate perusal of the document,, we ace misunderstanding and asperitiee on both sales; but nothing inoonsiatent with the most perfect integrity and highest horour on either. The only circumstance that Imparts to this correspondence any interest for the public is the unequivocal vote of intimation it gives that next a. wan the battle of the gauges is to be fought over again. Mr. Glyn asked that the directors of the Great Western should agree " not to reek to disturb the proviso of the existing Gauge Act of la t sesaion." Mr. Russell replied, "If by this condition you mean that no steps should be taken to continue the Wand as well IRA the narrow gauge through Birmingham to Wolverhampton to which the broad gauge Is already sanctioned through Woroister) to such a proper sition It would he imgaitible that we should se In another letter Mr. Russell stated that before entering into acy negotiation with the London and North-Western, his company required that "it be clearly understood that each party about" be entirely at /them to carry out and fulfil all the pur poses fee which any line has already been sanctioned by par liament." In a third letter he explains—" My exprmi”n had reference not to the lines only, but to ' the purposes' fur which they were designed." In the same spirit Ste. Saunders refused to accede to a proposal made on the part of the North-Western—" to right one battle In next session as to the broad gauge being allowed between Fenny Compton and Wolverhampton, said then abandon it for ever if defeated." Ile aslgned as his reason that the broad gauge being already sanctioned to Wolverhampton by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Bill, the inhabitants and merchanta of South Staffordshire and Birmingham would never cease to agitate for it, if only to avoid at Fenny Compton the break of gauge to Valli the North-Western Counsucy had attached no much importance; that no single contest would ever reconcile the public travelling over the Great Western, and Oxford and Itugby railwat•, to being shifted out of the broad gunge carriages within a few miles of their destination, whether It were Leamington, Warwick, or Birmingham" if this argument is solid fur the extension of the broad gauge to Wolverhampton, it will be equally valid when the brood gauge gets there for its extension to ntaffonl, and an, peaee meal, nerthwanks, as tar as the brawl gauge lamp:mice may wish to extend it. The battle of the gauges is to be fought over again next semen.

ACCOMMODATION Tolt THIRD-CLASS PASSENGERS IN FRANCE., AND REM:CMON OP PAM:P.—The commission of the 131 - Rhin, appointed to report upon the propriety of substituting cover. ed fur uncovered wagons on the Strasburg Railway, and reducing the fare. to the followingoarlewitirelasa, 0 cent.. per kilometre instead of 10 cents. ; 2nd clam, 6 cents. pee kit, instead of 74 cent.. •, and 3rd ClatlA, 4 cent.. instead of 3 cent.. ; has come to the sub joined conclusions:— let. The commission considers the suppres sion of uncovered wagon, not only as an improvement, but as a mea sure of humanity to the poorer chimes who make use of these vehicles during the bad weather. 2nd. The commission estimates that, In the general interest, it would be desirable to reduce the mres in the proportions proposed by the company, or even in a still larger ;we portion. It is, in fact, incontestable and uncontested, that if, fur a distance of 140 kilometres the railway front Str,burg to Beale conveys no more, upon an average, than 700,000 passengers a year, thi+ paucity of passengers must be attributed to the too high price of matt. The pourer clam, the iuhabitants of the numerous rural communes along the line like better to make the journey on foot, or to satisfy themselves with the twains of transport used before the creation of the railway, than to bear the expense of the new mode of travelling. To bring to the railway this part of the population, and lead it to acquire new habits, they some be offered, beside s the ad_ vantage of celerity, that of a rate of charge. which is not above their means, and carriages which do nut expose the passengers to the incle mency of the weather. 3rd. The commission consequently thinks, that there should be four chimes instead of three, by adding to the carriages of the first two classes covered wagons and ierriages with out mote, and some also uncovered, as there mins on the Baden rail way, and which will serve during the fine weather at the peace of 2or 3 rents. per kilometre for short distances, for a pathos of the popula tion which now makes no use of the, railway. 4th. The commission thinks It is to be feared that the organisation proposed by the COM pany, would not be sufficiently advantageous to the poorer dames to induce them to make use of the railway, and that the only result of this organisation would be to uncles!' the passengers, without much increasing the number, by forcing a portion of those who make tree of uncovered wagons at 0 cents., to take the ,Ann-i-bane at 6 cents., and by tonere-coup the Revengers who make use of the elgars.l-beme, charged 74 cents., totals diligences in which they would pay 9 seats. The report aoricludes by stating that the proposition of the company would not have the cleat of drawing upon the line the poorer population, and would Increase the charges for the maildtecLuises. The comunsair recommend. the company to make a trial of the plan they propene, in reference to the number of chews, and the accommodation for penmen, and to report upon the result at the end of a year.

The market of yesterday may be reported firm, and with some improvement in tone, although without much active * business. Shrewsbury and Birmingham*, and Ox ford and Birminghams were the two lines most dealt in. For the latter it was the day of settlement, which led to the declaration of a defaulter, Mr. Ripley, wha had speculated extensively at lower prices for a fall in the scrip of thi, line. His deficiencies (reported to be about 14,000&) are under stood to be chiefly on this account. Although the amount of business at Liverpool yesterday was inconsiderable, prices were on the whole pretty well supported, in consequence of the small quantity of st )ek offered for sale. Birmingham and Oxford, and one or two speculative stocks, were inquired for, but there were few transactions in the heavier description of shares. There wu a healthy market yesterday in Manchester, and prices of all kinds of stock were pretty well maintained. Oxford and Birminghams were done at 81, 4 pm., and were in demand; North Stafford, at 31 pm.; and Shrewsbury and Birmingham, were in demand at 21 pm. Yesterday and Thursday were pay days for the account, and they passed off well. There was again only a moderate business doing at Bir mingham, but prices had an upward tendency. Birming ham and Oxford Junctions were done at 8/. ls. 3d. pm. ; Dudley. at Si pm. ; Stour Valleys at 21 pm.; Shrewsbury and Birmingham (Clan A.), 43.. 9d. pm., and Class B. at 265. 3d. pm. At Leeds, there was an increased amount of business done, and prices in many of the lines were firm, although some declined a point or two. Leeds and Thirsk declined from 11 to 21, and North Staffords from 31 to 31. Glasgow and Dumfries advanced from 19s. to 225. 6d. pm.
