PM eams by a complaints were laid and tilearly established against three other omnibuses, also belonging to the Lon don General Omnibus Company, for the offence of curling." They were proved to have beset and obstructed in every possible way one of the Saloon omnibuses—stopping where it stopped, pursuing when it moved on—driving across it, running into it, adopt ing, in fine, every conceivable mode of annoyance which the most improved tactics of street warfare supply to the accomplished " 'bus " driver. Now, a worse offence against the safety and decorum of our thorough fares than this can hardly be conceived. No one can have moved about much in London without feeling amazement and disgust at the laxity which permits such disorderly and dangerous proceedings to go on. When a clear case of the kind is made out it is surely the obvious duty of the magistrate to put in force every power of repression with which the law en trusts him. Did Mr. Mesta do this? Nothing of the kind. He contented himself with imposing a fine of 10s. on each driver of the three obstructing omnibuses. In thus doing, we cannot avoid coming to the conclusion that he failed in what was due to the occasion, the public, and himself. It is notorious, it was indeed avowed by the London General Omnibus Company in their last report, that this abominable and dangerous system of " nursing" is recognised by the Company as one of their regular heads of expenditure. Surely a monopolist con cern like this, that seeks to drive all rivals off the road by means alike offensive to public order and opposed to public safety, is no object for magis terial lenity. It may be, and no doubt is, true, that the powers of punishment at present conferred by the Police Act are very inauequate to the due repression of this class of offences. But the inadequacy of a penal law is no reason for not exerting the powers of that law to the utmost. The administrator of the law who fails to do this, appears in publio esti mation to extenuate the offence. That you cannot punish as you would is no reason for not pnniehiiit as you can. Mr. BEADON showed a much wiser discretion in imposing a fine en 31. on a driver who was brought before him, also on the same day, for furiously running into and damaging another omni bus. A fine even of 31. might be a very insufficient penalty, but it very sufficiently marked the Magis trate's sense of the delinquent's conduct. It is quite obvious that something must be done in the next session of Parliament towards strength ening the powers of the police magistrates with regard to this very dangerous and disgusting class of street offences. The penalty imposed must be a , heavy one, and it must be imposed directly on the owners. The men act in almost every case under the instructions, either express or implied, of their employers. This is especially the case as regards the disgraceful practice of " nursing." A minimum fins of 101. rigorously imposed on the owners of every omnibus that should be proved to be engaged in this practice, would speedily put it down. The same or even a heavier fine should be imposed on the owner of every omnibus convicted of racing. It is perfectly intolerable, that owing to the inade quacy of our laws, and the laxity of their adminis trators, practices should at this day be tolerated in the streets of London which carry one back to the epochs of oil-lamps and foot-pads, Charlie§ and Juries, Bloods and Mohawks.

(num ova ow( PARIS ) Fara►s,lNaxnra Some of your readers may remember that the Sleds published, about a fortnight ago, oertain remarks upon the administration of public charities in Franoe. That paper is obliged to publish to-dap in its leading oolumns, an official condemnation of those articles. We have all, in youth, experienced the honors of swallowing a dose of rhubarb; but few of us were ever condemned to the additional penalty of mixing the dreadful draught with our own hands—the punishment now, in a moral point of view, inflicted by the Minister of the Interior upon M. Havin's journal. Prost, the manager of the General Discount Company, who with the members of the board of management, has been prosecuted for fraud, has been condemned to three years' imprisonment, five years contrainte par corps, a fine of 1,000 franos, the expenses of the prosecution, and ordered to refund the amount of the frauds, 558,317 franos 44 centimes. The five members of the board of direc tion are condemned to two years' contrainte par corps, and are declared civilly liable to make up the deficienoes of Prost. This latter has been arrested, but upon another charge, arising, I understand, out of further delinquencies in the same concern. Oar allies are doing their beat to cap our banking frauds. The Romans appear to have fallen into the de plorable error of believing that the iron gripe which Imperial France has upon them will one day be re laxed, and that the French troops will be with drawn. It is even said that the Pope has endea voured to obtain from the court of the Tuileries the order—" Right about! Quick march!" There is no end to the delusions of mankind.

A SPECIAL EDITION et the "EXPRESS," containing the results of the days Races, s pub lished every evenuag during din Sporting 611115011, ►t six o'clock. IN this dead season, when Loudon is currently said to be out of town, the million and a half or so who are still left within the limits of the RRUISTRAR OENTRAE are subject to all sorts of caprices from all sorts of authorities, great and small. It is the Sa turnalia of boards, and vestries, and commissioners. All the minor powers who pace and watch, and drain and light, revel in a blind exercise of irresponsible power, and King THWAITES and his council sit aloof like the gods of Epi curus, blandly watching it all go on. The distinguished Frenchmen who just now parade the pavements of the West must be repeatedly re minded in the course of their daily promenade of the " days" of February and July. The barricades of the Strand, after • three weeks,' state of siege, have only just been broken down, and • polite notice from my LORD Mavoit announces to all those who would penetrate (Sty wards that Ludgate-hill and St. Paul's are Mill under strict blockade. Meanwhile, those thoroughfares that are still open are not with out their own description of popular amusements, a little perilous perhaps, but eminently exciting. The distinguished foreigner, his wife and family, may enjoy in this free community • spectacle which cannot be witnessed amid the monotonous and regu lated splendour of Paris. The carriages are out of town; the cabs, without fares, droop on stands, or vainly, at a enairs pace, teat for custom along lines of depopulated pavement; the omnibuses have it all their own way. Their racing season is now it I& height. The " nursing" system is is full vigour. It appears eminently probable that this new deserip lien of metropolitan sporting is tacitly connived at by the official curators of the peace. In the absence of other amusement it may be supposed to supply that mild description of excitement in which the fficial temperament delights. We are not so well up as we should be in the ibformation so accurately supplied on sporting subjects by oar admirable contemporary Bele* Life, and are therefore un able to state off-hand whether odds are taken and "little events" regularly appoicttd to come off between Brompton " Saloon*" sod Brompton " Generale j" but we deem it highly probable, and shall wait to be undeceived by authority before we entirely abandon the idea as unfounded, What is quite certain at all events is this, that the great lines of London thr...,ughfere are just now converted, and as it would appear by general con sent, into rsoe-courees for thu London Omnibuses. Helter-skelter, with its twelve inside and nine out, thundering and crashing, sparks flying from the pavement, horses la-bed into foam, foot passengers dispersing in panic, females and Elderly parties in. side in hysterics with terror—the lumbering mat chine rashes at a gallop along the labyrinth of the crowded thoroughfares, followed hard and close by the pole of its pursuing rival. Policeman X, as a general rale, quietly looks on enjoying the sport. Every now and then, for the sake of appearanoes, a haul is made, and a stray delinquent or two is brought up before the police courts. A group of such cases occupied the attention of Mr. HENRY the other day at Bow-street. In one instance the com plainant was a Mrs. STUART MURRAY, and the de fendants the driver and conductor of one of the Lon don General Company'e omnibuses. The lady deposed (we take her statement est balim from the report) that " On the 16th inst., at about nine o'clock, she " arrived at the corner of Agarstreet, Strand, in " the defendants' omnibus, having ridden from the " City. Oa passing Adam-street she had directed " the conductor to set her down at Agar-street. The " omnibus paused for a moment, but could hardly be " said to stop, and as she was getting out the vehicle went on before she had completely alighted, " so that she lost her balance, and was nearly thrown "to the ground. At toe same time the conductor " banged the door so suddenly that it struck her left " arm, swinging her slightly to the right. It was " only this latter circumstance that prevented her " from falling under the hoofs of the horses belong " ing to another omnibus, a hich was on the point of " overtaking that of defendants, and was at that " moment in front of her and somewhat to her left. " Defendants' omnibus had been some time' racing' " with the other omnibus, and she was much " alarmed even before she attempted to get oat. " She was so much shaken, and so much agitated, " that she was unable to proceed unassisted, but a constable who saw the occurrence (and who had " taken the number of the omnibus) helped her " house." lhis is the sort of thing that takes place at most hours of every day of the week in the City, which prides itself upon being the best reps. ' laced metropolis in the world. The lady's name tire was coEfirmed in every particular. The case was fully made out. And how was this gross pion of disorderly and dangerous ruffianism treated by the presiding Magistrate ? The driver was entirely let off, the conductor was only fined 11., which was, of course, immediately paid by his employers. Mr. HENIE must be told plainly that mush leniency as this is an utter mistake. By imposing a fine, which is a mere farce, he does what is in him to encourage a nationally discreditable nuisarce. Oa the same day, before the same Magistrate, ' SOUTHERN OVITALL FOR THR MAIN DRAINAGE. Mr. BeusTow presented • resolution from the Gresnedah District Board of Works on the subject of the southern out fall for the main drainage, and moved that it be considered by the board when the engineer's report is presented. The following is • oopy of the resolution : " At a meeting of the Boyd of Works for the Greenwich Disuicr, held on Wednesday, the Ist day of September, 1818, Mr. Alderman Wire in the chair, it was moved, 'mounded, end resolved, That any proposition for an cattail at Greenwich, and for doodorisieg the sewage of the southern PH@ of the metropolis in or near the Greenwich Manlier., is highly objectionable, and fraught with danger to the health of the inhabitants of this populous &Wet, and this board therefore protests against any each plan or project (the effect of which would be so Injurious to persona and property in this district) being carried into execution?' The following reoummendations from the Works Committee were adopted : " That they have considered the resolution from the vestry of Lambeth, and the letter from Mr. Hartwell, calling reten tion to the state of the Effra Sewer, and have ascertained that when the main drainage is carried out, the evil,' incidental to the present condition of the Sewer will be remedied; and that the engineer will report to the board on Friday week the probable date when such works can be put in hand. "That, having perused rho letter from Mr. Austin, sects tai7 to her Mojesty's CAniuiseioners of Works, am., with copies of reports by Mr. Heuer, superintending inspector, and Mr. Lindsay Blyth, analytical chemist to the General Board of Health, on the result of the examination of the water in the docks, they are of opinion that no active steps are required on the port of the board. " That Mr. Austin be informed, with reference to his letter transmitting, by direction of the First Commierioncr Works, an extract trout a letter from the superintendent of ' Hyde -park sad Kensington- gardens, in relation to the over flow of the Bayswater sewer into the Serpentine, that the board have already taken steps which will materially miti gate the evils wising from the °volley, and that se soon es the main drainage is carried oat the nuisance will be wholly remedied." The board then adjourned. BEPRESANTATION OF GREENIFICK. Last night a meeting wu held at the Literary lamination, Greenwich, to hear an address from Mr. Angerstelo. The chair was occupied by Dr. Wars ford. Mr. Angerateia's address touched on precisely the same points se the one delivered by him at the Town Hell on the previous evening and reported in ore paper of yesterday. A resolution in his favour having been proposed and seconded, on amendment to the effect that Mr. Angerstein wan not snilidemay art former to be entitled to the support of the electors was put and het. A second amendment, in favour of Alderman Solomon, was carried by a considerable majority. Last evening Mr. M. Chambers betted an address In reply to a numerously signed requisition of the electors. Mr. Chambers says—" Since the last election it has net been my desire to obtrude myself in any way upon your notice — and, although I should deem it a distinguished honour to renew my parliamentary associations with your borough, yet for reasons that I trust you will all uoderstand and appre ciate, I deem it right franidy and publicly to state slut at the ensuing election Ido not intend to present myeell as a candidate.

How the van caught fire has nut been sati4ao-orily ascu.tsined, but it is strongly suspected that the man in charge had been smoking, and that ignition originated either through, u spark tern the pipe or a luoifer timuk dropped etti the door of the van.

The North Star has arrived with the American mails and advices of the 11th inst. She bringa specie for France of the value of 195,000 dollars. The commercial advice, from New York are anti cipated. At New Orleans, on the 10th, the cotton market closed will an advance of per cent. At Mobile, sales of cotton d_ll. Flour throughout the States dull and quiet. Philadelphia stocks heavy. The fever is still prevalent at New Orleans. A frightful railway accident hu occurred on the Indiana Railroad. M►ny persons were killed and a large number wounded. The Asia has arrived out. Later dates from Salt Lake City are unimportant. The quarantine excitement is beginning to de crease. Advices from New Mexico state that the dif ferences with the Indians are still unsettled.

In this little volume M. Gaultier raises his voice in favour of paint " With the instinct of harmony which characterises them, women," observes he, "have felt that between their dazzling conven tional dress, between la grand toilette and their own plain beauty of face and feature (unassisted), there was a dissonance, the whitish skin looking greyish by the side of their shining moires and sating ; they hays done as painters do in order to harmonise the various shades of complexion and draperies; they have untlertskeu to whiten the skin na ture gave them till it should be in keeping with the inasest of rich white stuffs whereby they eaahroud their person►." When ones this necessity of spplying white to the female skin has been admitted, the rest follows : the white is too white, a tinge of rest, colour on the cheeks relieves it, and a deliuste streak of black under the eye-hushes gives brililancy to the eye ; and in this wise we are brought to t h e apology of paint. The Cambridge Independent hears " with more regret than aurprise," that the issue both of the " Oxford" and of the " Cambridge E 54145 " is diroontinned.

I think I got on the bed myself, and he pushed me out of window. He threatened me in the room, end said hs would be the death of me. He hit me once or twice on the heed with the poker that night. jest before he threw me out of window. (In reply to witness) What I have said to my mother Is quite true, was so bed yesterday, that is why I did not tell Kr Pam ter this (in allusion to a short statement taken by the magi". Irate at the hospital, which has been published). It we Isaac Bandy who pushed me out of window. I don't think I shell get over this. He is a bad fellow. He did pooh gas out of window. I opened it to call out, I think I called out. I won't be sure. The second was dated Sept. 20, and ran thus—" I got op the bed because he said be would have revenge if he served twelve months for it. I don't think I shall recover. I wish I was gone now." In reply to Mr. Paynter, Mr. Adair mid that deceased was perfectly sensible when she made tilt,* statements, and both before and after ex premed her conscionances that she was dying, having no hope of recovery. William Imre, of 6, York-street, gave similar testiinony to that 'thready detailed In the first examination of the prf- Pone?, with the addition that when the prisoner and the de ceased came in at tea at night, and were going to their room, he heard her say, "We are all drunk to night." In two or three minutes afterwarde, when they got in their room, there was a great noise and scuffling and immediately afterwards Mrs. Ward, a fellow-lodger, exclaimed. "That fellow has thrown the women out of window." Witness then went out and found prisoner in the custody of a lodger. Witness said to the accused, " You villain, what do you mean by throwing the women out of window P" to which he replied, " How could I throw her out of window, when the bedstead is close to it 1" Witness mid, " Then why nut prevent her r and primmer replied, "Give her a leg up." By the Magistrate—What I understood by that was, that if she attempted to get out, be was willing to assist her. Examination resumed—He did not express any regret when she was picked up insoneible. I said to the other lodger, "Take care of him ; don't let blot go :" when prisoner said ws were all ageing. him ; but ho knew a little what the law was, and then made use of some indecent er , premien, meaning their aorta against him were unavailing. Witness did not think him intoxicated. _ Evidence having been repeated cf the poor women being picked up, Lucy Ann Marley, another lodger in the house, proved that between 6 and Bin the ev , ning the prisoner swore he would DOA a knife into hi, a ife, cud subs. fluently that he would drag her windpipe out. Winne' did not hear de ceased nee any provoking language to him, but he used Mocking language to Ler, and throw a teapot at her as she ,an down stairs to escape his violence. Shortly afterwards, at about 10 o'clock, they came in together, when witness heard him lock the door, and her entreat him to Ist her out, but he would not, and replied, " I have got you here now, and do for you." Immediately after that the window wee opened, and directly afterwards deceased was in the yard and prisoner coming down the stairs. Ferris Carr proved that prisoner went by the name of "Bandy." Witnem produced a written statement similar to Mr. Adider., taken by the deceased's bed-side, with the addi ' tion of a note of the 19th, when deceased said, "Heis a bad fellow; he did push me ont of the window." Deoeseed said she should not recover. lien mother told her to pray to her Goa, and she said she had and would do so again. This finishing the evidence, and Mr. Adair having been bound over to proemmte the prisoner for wilful murder, at the Central Criminal Court, the accused was remanded till Thursday, that the depositions of the other whams* may be prepared, for his formal committal.

WALES.- MIRACULOUS ESa4FBB. HEREFORD, Yesterday evening, about six o'clock, a collision occurred at the Hengotd station, on the Rbymney V alle y Railway, when the 020/It disastrous consequence were pr dentially averted by individual foresight and intrepidity. The line from Hereford to Merthyr was over the Rhymney line, and the trains meet here, and wait for ter minutes. A heavy mineral train had been dragged up a steep incline on the single line towards Cardiff, and a =e'er of the trucks were shunted on to a aldteg, keying 18 trucks =detached, Mee laden with coal, and nine laden with iron. By sonic want of care, these 18 trucks were allowed to start lark down the incline, and they gradually =bud a fearful velocity of 40 to 60 aides an hour. A passenger train was standing before flee Hangoed station, and contained about 20 persons. The ale= was given by Mr. Roberts, foremen to the firm of Messrs. Matthews, contractors, and souls other persons who weie standing up shots on the Hereford line, and saw the trucks running wild down to the passenger wain. The terrified soused to • sense of their danger, tried to leave f 6 li: l = at the do= on each side were locked, and 417 had to scramble oat at thu window apertures as best they could. Four or five persons remained in the train when the coppice took place with ea awful math. Strange to pay, nobody was aesionaly hurt, &Watch the force of the cams eion was so great that the tour passenger carriages ompoeing the train were literally toinshea to atoms. One lady, hem Cardiff, who was in a firet•cwa compartment, mat wage the carriage was completely sever, d close to her toes. Her boots ware grazed, bat the remained unbar, although. se may sully be imagined, very much terrified. Another lady projected s distance of about 20 yards, by tame extraordinary Process, and she too, e•raped without severe or perrassent injury. The main number of =vergers had left the Leda scarcely a second before the collision, thus escaping what to many of them must have been inevitable eeetb. The platform was literally torn to fragment', and the me= of confasion and dimity which followot et the station, min gled with the joy that po.veilzd when it was atcertnioed that no lives were tier, made up a chequered scene that &Sea all attempts at description.
