COCUTENAY.—This defeudeut, woo* real name is Fuller, and who is a dramatic author and performer, was summoned to show cause why he hal not paid a debt for which a judgment had been obtained.—lle had Sled a schedule, and had secured the protection of the Court of Bankruptcy. It was now urged that, as the protection had been obtained since the judgment, it was not applicable in this case, and, further, that the present debt was not inserted in the schedule.—The defendant averred that it was inserted. The Court d vided that the summons must be discharged, as judgments might have been obtained in twenty cases be fore the protection wits granted, and if the defendant were to be summoned on each, of what use was his protection ? One court had possession of all the property, and it was folly to attempt to recover from it debts that had been contracted previous to the interim order.—Dismissed accordingly " Coara " OF LITIOATION.—A defendant, named Hood, WWI summoned also on a judgment debt. Plaintiff's attorney entered into a lengthened history of the ease, from which it was gleaned that the original debt was bl, Is. Id., but which had, by legal proceedings in the Court of Queen's Bench, been increased to 191. 175., " with other expenses," and a writ for which sum was placed in the hands of the sheriff. ft appearad that the sheriff bad seized a music van (de fendant was a master carman) which was put up for sale by public auction, but the sum realised for it was tar below the amount requi red. A return of this sale was handed to the learned judge, who, on perusing it, said there was some very strange items in it, under the head of " commissions." Connected with the sale only of this van there were charges for a man one day, 12s ; poundage, I Is. ; advertising, bit. ; bills, 145., with other incidental expenses. Were these cautions authorised ? The attorney said the 12a. was chargel fir the man who had kept possession of the van from the seizure till the sale. The cue was adjourned for the production of a witness. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. Bekre Mr. Commtmeloner ShePbtrd. IMPORTANT POINT.—A. charge of 311. 16s. 4d. had been made by Messrs. Ventum and Hughes, claiming the right of brokers to this court, for having taken on inventory of the stock of a bankrupt. whose name did not transpire. Mr. Reed, solicitor for the assignees, opposed this charge. He said that whenever such a case as the present happened, provided he were engaged, he should always oppose such charges. He could not recognise any person as broker of this court, and the proper party to make any inventory was the messenger, who was recognised by this court, the tonrt of Review, and the Lord Chancellor, he (the messenger) being under the control of these courts. There was nothing in any of the acts of Parliament by which a person could claim the right of broker to the court. The charge in the present cue was for making an inventory of property which had never come to the official assignee, which was never drected to be done, and which property had been sold by other parties. He (Mr. Reed) wished it to go forth to the public that he would always oppose the charges of brokers, whom he could not recognise in this court, until a special order was made that they had a locus *tonsil here.—Mr. Ventum said he had the honour to have been a broker for 29 years, and his authority was upon a letter signed by the late Mr. Richardsan, in November, 1844, in which it was stated that Mr. Ventum had been appointed by the Com missioners to be broker in the late Sir C. F. Williams's court. —His Honour considered this an important point, and must confer with his brother commissioners before deciding the matter. ILFORD SPECIAL SESSIONS.—YMTERDXY. ROBBERY ET A POLlCEMAN.—Yesterday, John Francis, formerly a police constable of the K division, stationed at Loughton, was brought up from Ilford gaol, where ho has been suffering one month's imprisonment for neglect of duty, for re-examination on a charge of stealing a large quantity of workmen's tools from Loughton Church. On the 13th of last month the prisoner was brought up before the magistrates at Ilford for neglect of duty, and for assault ing a man, with whose wife he lived. Fur the first offence he was fined 31. or two months' imprisonment ; and for the other, was sent to the House of Correction for one month' with hard labour. During the time he was at Loughton, a new church was being erected on his beat, and although almost daily the workmen were losing their tools, the thief could not be apprehended. On Francis's committal by the magistrates for the above offence, a report was sent to In spector Richardson, that the former's house had been robbed, and Serjeant White, 13 K, was ordered to make inquiries coacerning it. He did so, and on searching the house found a quantity of workmen's tools.—Edmund Hal ford and William Arnold, identified some of the tools as their property, which they had lost whilst at work at Loughton Church in December last, at which time the prisoner was doing duty near the church.—The prisoner in answer to the charge said, that ho bought the things at dif ferent times when in London, at a broker's shop near Mile end. lie was fully committed to take his trial on thief dis tinct charges of felony. POLICE.--YESTERDAY. GUILDHALL—A SWEET-MOUTHED THIEF.—Two young lads, who answered to the very appropriate and uneuphonious names of Harrow and Ifoldem, and whose heads were clipped according to the most approved Mbhion of " the county crop," or prison cut, were placed at the bar, charged with stealing a pot of marmalade from the shop of Mr. Young, of 81, Newgate-street.—Mr. Young, on being sworn, stated that the prisoners entered his shop yesterday afternoon, and inquired their way to Abraham's-court. During the time that Harrow was raking up the information Holdem was busily engaged in appropriating a pot of mar malade. On perceiving the unwelcome transfer of his pro perty, he made a dash at the prisoner Holdem, but the latter was too wide awake, and before he could say " Jack Robinson," he disappeared. Mr. Harrow remained a quiet and apparently indifferent spectator. The witness's assistant cleared the counter at a bound, dashed hatless through the door, and, followed by half a doyen drovers' curs, gave ehace. "Go it, my kiddie—a fardin to him as wins," shouted the poulterer's boy next door. The cry was in stantly taken up by an innumerable number of greasy throats, until Newgate Market resounded with the echoes. " Now or never, Holdem ; one pair of heel+ is worth two pair of hands," roared a confederate in the chem. An envious corner interposed—that gained and all would be safe; but a gentleman made hie appearance, and seized Holdem by his throat, just as he was taking a crowing spring. The marmalade was found upon him.—Harrow (in answer to the magistrate) said, " I knows nothing about it; how did I know that he was a prigging the martlett ?"—Mr. Alderman Wood : Well, Holdem, what have you to say to the charge ? Holden (crying): I don't know. I couldn't help it.—Mr. Alderman `Wood: I shall give each of you a month.— Holdem : Thank ye, sir, WORSHIP-STREET. SYSTEMATIC SitopurnBo. An elderly woman, named Mary Tibbetts, and her daughter and daughter-in-law, Margaret Britney, and Martha Tib betts, all of whom were well-dressed, and the two latter had each an infant in her arms, were placed at the bar on the two following charges of shoplifting. It appeared from the evidence, that at about three o'clock that afternoon, the three prisoners entered the shop of Mr. Lloyd, a linendraper in Shoreditch, and requested to be shown some mourning for a dress. An article was exhibited by one of the shopmen, and while the two first named prisoners were inspecting it, another shopman distinctly observed Martha Tibbetts dexte rously remove a piece of flannel from the counter, secrete it beneath her cloak, and almost immediately afterwards she transferred a (rape scarf from a box that was near her, from the counter beneath her dress. Having communicated the fact to his master, the three prisoners were secured. On being searched at the police-station, besides the articles above mentioned, there were found on the person of Martha Tib betts, three paireof ladies' boots, and three pairs of children's shoes; andm the pocket ofthe elder woman, money to the amount of 51. 4a. 6d. Charles Tapeell, shopman to Mr. Youst, a bootmaker in Shoreditch, proved that the prisoners purchased a pair of shoes at his master's shop about an hour previous to the above transaction, and that almost immedi ately after they had left, the boots and shoes now produced were discovered to have been stolen. A general denial of each robbery having been made by the first two prisoners, Mr. Bingham considered that there was not sufficient evi -1 deuce to show a guilty knowledge on their part, and there fore ordered their discharge; bat the other prisoner was com mitted upon both the charges. MARYLEBONE.—A Rueelatr.—Thomas Shilliwksde an elderly man of most forbidding aspect, was char• with having brutally assaulted Mary Anne, his wife. The parties reside in Fitzroy-place, New-road.—Complainant, who had, received such severe injury that she was unable to get into the witness-box without assistance, deposed that on the pre vious night the prisoner came home drunk, and without any provocation knocked her down by a tremendous blow on the face, after which. be knocked and beat her upon the head and body, and she was bruised nearly all over her person ; she had been married to him eight years, and his conduct tow"rds her had, for a length of time, been cruel in the extreme. It was only on Wednesday last that he came out of the House of Correction, to which he bad been com mitted for a month for an assault upon her of almost as vio lent a nature ea that of which she now complained.—Moore, 82 8, said that hearing loud cries of "Murder," he went into the house and saw the prisoner beating his wife in the passage in a most savage manner. He (witness) then took him into custody. Inspector Champneys said that the pri soner• bad been several times in custody for attacks of a simi lar noture upon his wife. He was a most desperate and dangei ons character.—Mr. Long fined him in the full penalty of 81, ; and in default of payment he was sent to the House of Corm 'Mimi for two months. LAMBETH.—TILE ADVERTISING SIVINDLER.—Yester day Wills, on Wilmot Byron, who has assumed innumerable aliases, and who has been in custody for a fortnight on vari ous charges of obtaining money by false representations, sad inserting ad s srtise.ments in the daily and weekly papers, was at the wr before Mr. Norton for further examination. It was shown t. hat a Miss Frances White had lea the pri soner 201., receii ing as security three tea warrants, for tea said to he of the i 'slue of 901., but which turned out to be worthless . Mr. A. B. Richards had advanced 351. to the prisoner, receiving f.'-om him several pawnbroker's tickets for property.upon which 601. appeared to have been lent, but which turned out to be of less value than the sum given to the prisons: by Mr. Ric.hards.—There were several similar cases against the prisoner, who was remanded until Saturday week. --- SOUTHWARK.—ATTIMPT TO SEND A SANE PAurza To s MADHOOBB.—Yesterday, Margaret Walsh, an aged woman, nearly blind, alleged to be insane , was brought up frost the workhouse of St. George the gartr, Southwark, for the purpose of being sent to the County ...rAus Asylum. —Mr. Robinson, the master of the workhnuse, accompanied by the medical officer of the institution, attended with the ,;•ertificate of the woman's insanity, in order to have the majistmte's signature to the document, preparatory to her admioion into the County Lunatic Asylum. The AUegted lunatic was led into the court by an old woman, the nurse of the ward of which she was an inmate while in the work house; and, while the certificate was being filial up, tho poor woman, who was standing with the nurse in the body of the court, began to sob and cry, giving utterance to words indicative of her distress of mind in bring compelled to enter a madhouse. She frequently exclaimed that she was not in sane, and that the present proceeding was adopted against her owing to the animosity of the master, who wanted to have her removed from the workhouse to the madhouse.— Mr. Seeker, on hear ng the woman's complaints, directed her to be led forward ; and, on ascending the ',Annus box, she exclaimed in a piteous tone, " For God's Fake, gentlemen, do not send me to a madhouse, fur I am nut in sane; my only misfortune is being destitute and blind." She then proceeded :o state that she formerly had an allow ance of 4s. a week out of the house, but was deprived of that, and taken into the workhouse; that she had been an inmate of the Wandsworth Union, but had been re moved thence to Saint George's; that she was comparatively happy in the former place, but since her ad mission into the Lotter she had been very much annoyed and teueel by . o girl in the canoe ward, who Wl9 in the habit of sticking pins into her, and also of striking her in the face when the nurse's back was turned. That in consequence of the species of annoyance to which she had been subjected, she admitted that she occasionally gave vent to expressions which she knew were improper, but which were attri butable to the treaement she experienced.—Mr. Seeker in quired who the girl WPR, by whom she was so annoyed ? The nurse immediately replied, " There is no girl who annoys her ; it is all false."—Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk : Is there any girl in the ward with this poor woman ?—Tha nurse : There is a girl there, but she never teases her, or does anything to annoy her.—The alleged lunatic declared that what she had stated was perfectly true, and that the girl was always doinv something to vex and put her out of temper, and that was the reason, she was assured in her own mind, that the master had such an animosity to her.—Mr. Robinson said there was no foundation for the woman's asser tion as far as regarded him, it was absurd to suppose he had any animosity, as she termed it, towards herany more than to any of the other inmates. She had been examined as to the state of her mind by the medical officer, who prcnonnced her to be insane; indeed her conduct in the workhouse led to that belief, fur some time past, and many of the other inmates could prove that such was the case.—Mr. Seeker said that he saw nothing in the woman's conduct to indicate that she was labouring under insanity; her answers to all questions put to her there were consistent, and perfectly rational. Before he signed the certificate for the admission of the woman into the lunatic asylum he should wish to wit ness an instance of her being in the condition of mind which the document set forth.—The surgeon then proceeded to aak the alleged lunatic sundry questions, and amongst them as to whether she had not told him the preceding day that Mr. Robinson was trying to poison her, and that she was afraid he would accomplish it if s'ie did not take care? The reply was, " I did not tell you so. I complained that I knew he hail an animosity against me. and that he was determined to put me in a madhouse." She here imploringly besought the magistrate not to be a party in sending her to a lunatic asylum, to a place where she said she would beconfined with mad people, and shut out from the society of all rational human beings. Other questions were put to her, all of which she answered in the same rational man ner, exhibiting no symptom of derangement, but on the contrary, displaying sound *ease, and being perfectly aware of the steps that were taken to confine her, if the magistrates sanctioned the proceeding by signing the certificate of her admission into a lunatic asylum —The surgeon asked her if she had not concealed a knife about her on the preceding day, with which she threatened to do mis chief?--She replied that it was no such thing ; that the only knife she used was the one at her dinner, and that she left at on the plate, and hadno intention of injuring any person. All she required was to be sent back to Wandsworth, where the could be comfortable, and not be teased and annoyed by such a girl as that in St. George's workhouse.—Mr. Robinson said that some of the other inmates went in fear of their lives from the violence of the woman.—The surgeon said, that her answers to the questions put to her on the preceding day were quite irrational, and that it was perfectly well known that persons in her unfortunate condition of mind had lucid intervals.—Mr. Seeker, for his part, could not perceive what danger there was to be apprehended from a poor old blind wome n. It was possible she might have some unfounded fears with respect to the roaster of the workhouse, and perhaps talk extravagantly in the ward to the other inmates ; but that he had seen nothing in her conduct before him to indicate mad ness, or anything approaching to it ; and therefore he should decline signing any document for her admission into a lunatic asylum. The parties then left the court. THAMES.—Smunouxo TOBACCO.—Yesterday, William Lilly, a seaman, was charged with running 811bs. of foreign manufactured tobacco, from the ship Blanch Adamsoa, recently arrived from Cadiz. He was detected coming from the ship with the tobacco in his possession. The pnsoner made no attempt to evade the consequences of the illegal transaction. Ile pleaded guilty, said it was his first offence, and begged for mercy. Mr. Broderip observed that the power of mitigation rented with the Commissioners of Customs and not with him. He should inflict the penalty of 1001. sued for. The prisoner was committed in default of payment. It was understood the fine would be materially reduced on petition to the Board of Customs, as the prisoner was not previously known to the Revenue Officers, GREENWICH.—INTIMIDATINO WORNMEN.— William Martin and EnocA Twitly were charged with assaulting John Jones and threatening to drown horn. Mr. Evans, soli citor, appeared for the complainant, who is in the service of Messrs. l'enn, the extensive engineers of Greenwich and Dertford. Complainant stated that on Tuesday last he went into the Red Cow public house to dinner, and that, whilst there, Martin offered to fight him, and said he would make one to stop the boat in which the com plainant crossed the river to his home, and drown him. Twitly, who was also present, called him a " nolutick ; " and remarked that if the government would give them a grant, he would take a cutlass into Penn's factory and rip them up. Twitly also said witness had no business there, as he did not belong to the club, and he had come there to take the bread out of the mouths of those who did belong to it —lt appeared that complainant was not a member of the Engineers' Society, and his wo; king at Messrs. Peon's defendants consider d an injury to them. Mr. Trail pointed out, not only the illegality of their con duct, but its impropriety in endeavouring to intimidate workpeople. Hoping that the offences had been committed in ignorance of the law, he would not on that occasion punish them as severely as he might do—namely, by giving them three months' imprisonment; but would simply call on them to find bail in the sum of 201. each to keep the peace, and be of good behaviour for six months. MONEY MARKET. 'MEAT EVENING. The partial rise in the funds to-day would seem to indicate, what is no doubt the case, that some tolerable portion of the out-paid dividends is finding its way as usual tato stocks. Consols fur most of the day stood firm at 96 to 1 for money, and were at times 951 buyers, which was equal to i per cent. advance upon the quotations of yester day. They left off, however, not so good, at 95 money, and 9.51 account. Reduced Threes 931 to 4. The government broker took 10,0001. Reduced at 94 for the East India guarantee fund, and 1,3001. Three per cents. of 1726 at 941 for reduction of the national debt. Three and a quarter per cents. 951 to 1. Exchequer bills 13s, to 175. premium. Long Annuities 91 to 15.1 G. India bonds 221. to 255. premium. We have some improvement in the more speculative for eign stocks. Mexican ruled at the close of the market, and for some time before, at 231 to 1, the result probably of pur chases for realising previous sales at higher rates, or, it may be, of the explanations promised at length by Senor Murphy to be forthcoming without delay, about the incidents of the conversion scheme now annulled.

In a note to the Spanish American committee, which that diligent body has hastened to publish, he announces that, in conseguence of the cola munications of Senor B. Gomez Fars (inserted in our paper this morning), he will " forthwith prepare a commu nication which shall, with the least possible delay, be trans mitted to the committee for the information of the bond holders, and which, I doubt not, will place matters in their true light, and give fall satisfaction." This note has a busi ness-like face and style about it which smacks somewhat. of city penmanship imported into the politer purlieus of Regent's-parkfor consultation. But why should Senor Murphy be still so much in arrear of the business in hand, and which foe days east he know had to be, and mot be THE EXPRESS, SATURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 17, 1646. dispatched, as to have yet to forthwith prepa. - e a communi cation which is to givefuli satisfaction. to the bondholders of the conversion scheme? All these unfortunate parties require is, a sight of the powers and instructions under which the conversion scheme was brought forward and consum mated, or a certified copy thereof. From what we have seen and understand of the particular docu ment, the transcription could not be the work of an hour; the original itself should be forthcoming at moment's notice. Personal interpretations, explanations, and ju•tilications will come in their proper places afterwards. Meanwhile the Spanish American Committee may be con gratulated for their extraordinary far-sightedness and unwearied labour., in procuring the promise of a document now, which, according to all rule, they should have had insight and in hand some four or five months ago, before they com mitted the interests of the bondholders they were appointed to defend to proceedings so abortive, and results so mis chievous. Let us hope, however, to find Senor Murphy's promised document all that he predicates of it. In the meantime, the bondholders are naturally aniCous to have some information of the quantity of Mexican bonds in the market; that is, of the amount of old bonds, coupons, deben urea and deferred converted, but more especially still, of the new bonds created, sold, or on hand of the portion reserved for the profit of the Mexican government, the eontrsctors, and all other parties concerned. This is information which should be made public without any the slightest delay. In the case of a former agency toe simple plan was adopted of requiring the delivery of all the bonds on hand, or an account specifying their dates and numbers, if we recol lect aright. The precedent is exactly in point now. Let the agency, and others interested, proceed to publish at once the ' series of the numbers of all the steak converted, and newly created, with the amount of the latter disposed of, and the numbers and values still on hand unsold. There will be a complex account to disentangle after all; but with out these necessary preliminaries it will be more difficult still, and the delay more prejudicial to the bondholders. RAILWAY NEWS. There was little alteration in shares and scrip yes terday : the market was quiet. East Indians were on the advance, and considerable transactions took place in them. Caledonians were heavy. The Liverpool market was tolerably steady on the whole. Midland stock was scarce and higher, owing to the prospect of a new creation. London and North-Western stock was also pretty firm. Huddersfield and Manchester declined still further to 103. pnt., but rallied and closed at 1 pm. Dudleys were in good demand, as well as Birmingham and Oxford. Ormakirks were done as low as 21 Leicester aad Bedford improved to dis. The Manchester market was dull. Little business was done, and prices had a downward tendency. The market at Birmingham remained stationary ; there was little business doing, but prices had, it anything, a eownward tendency. There were sales in the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Dudley at 535.94., and at 21 prn. North StaffuriLhires declined to 355. pm., and ShrophireUnions re mained at the prices quoted yesterday, with more disposition on the part of holders to sell than to purchase. There were buyers of Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton at 6 dis., but parties did not seem disposed to sell at this rate. At Leeds the market was very fiat, and the sales were necessarily limited. Huddersfield and Manchester, which realised 303. pm. oa Thursday, were done to-day at lOs. pm. Leeds and Bradfords also declined ss. The only improve ments were in East L-ncashires, 3s. 9d., and in New East Lancashires, 34.6 d. per share. RAILWAY SHARE LISTS.—LoNnosr, OCT. 16.

LONDON.—NAMUR AND LIEGE.—The third report of the London directors of this concern incidentally throws some light on the comparative charges of English and Belgium railways. "In Belgium, the charges for passengers are considerably lower than In this country, but the working expenses are leas ; whild the rates for the carriage of cattle ore higher , and for Iron, coal, and other heavy goods about the game as those generally in force in England. But there is eo much diversity In the classification and mode et charging for conveyance of goods, traffic on different lines in this country, that it is almost impossible to Institute a fair comparison between the charges of English and Belgien railways. be forgotten that an exempticn from rates, taxes, and assessments of all kinds on Belgian railways forms another important difference from the English lines." In consequence of delays occasioned by the pro crastination of the Belgian government the time axed by law for the completion of the Namur and Liege line has been extended to the 28th of Jule, 1818. On the line from Namur to Liege great difileu/ty has been found in - procuring land; the, difficulties encountered on the portion of the line between the Bridge of Val Beneft sad the Bridge at Val at. Lambert have been so great that the directors have been obliged to appeal to the Courts of law. The works are in full activity on the section between Hay and Namur (eighteen and a quarter mie), and land sufficient oar twelve miles has been obtained. The directors look to the line con necting Mons with Manage as likely to be the most productive = their undertaking. It will unite the Great Northern of (already connected by a branch with Mons) to the state relive from Brawls to Namur (at Manage), and thus with the German There L. also a great local heft. This line will be can. grdbefore that of Namur and Liege, and part of ft be reedy e traffic in the course of a few months. Land is obtained with facility on this line. The directors have found it advisable to make a further call upon the shares, and have applied for the return of 400,000 Mums of the original caution money deposited with the government. The second half-yearly Interest, at the rate of 4 per cent. on peid.up capi tal, is in the course of payment. The directors notice M. liorguet's (their principal °Detractor's) resumption MIAs duties. " Since the month of February last, up to a recent date the directors have to regret the abeence of his personal services, owing to his detention on a Mate prosecution ; but from which he was ally and honourably acquitted In August last." We believe allusion is hem made to the awkward affair of the Cumptich tunneL PROVINCIAL.—SHEITIELD AND LINCOLNSHIRE.— The first rod of this line was cut on Thursday. The Mayor of Shed field performed the feat with an " ~ e wt slade t " handle mahogatlY , and cutting part of German silver. The turf being deposited in a still more elegant barrow of linen Spanish mahogany, with foliage and shell ornaments on the upper edges, "wheel and axle after, and the model of the moat approved chariots," Sze. Ac., was wheeled and emptied out by Jobson Smith, Req., chairman of the board of direc tors. The amateurs thus "kissed the cup and paned it" to the real navies," who "set to work in right good earnest to cut away the rods wrong the whole line marked out," sera the Shejlieid Iris. Mr. Smith subsequently presided at a cold collation. In proposing the toast of the evening—" Success to the Sheffield and Lineolnshire Railway Company' —the chairman gave a brief hitaory of the undertaking ; It was not more than three years dote a meeting was called in one of the small rooms of that hall, to take into consideration the esta blishment of a provisional oormittee, and to get a number of gentle men to carry out the undertaking which they had met that day to Inaugurate. It was his good foetal= to be at that meeting. It wee found that Sheffield poeaeesed not the Wean ' tages which she was entitled to, from heryopnlaticn and her eons. merce ; and that she was merely an appendage to the Midland Rail way, Company. The commerce from east to west was very bulky and of great weight, and of such a description as would usually be sent seaward. The goods made here, and which were sent to Nor folk, nutfolk, Eoacx, Imo usually sent to London, and from thence bark again by water tn:o the above counties. lie had been bold enough to propose ' that a committee be formed to carry into elect the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Junction Railway,' and lie had done so because he felt it to be necessary for the welfare of Sheffield. From that small beginning, then, had come the event which they had that day met to ectehrdte. The first oonsomence of the projecting of this railway was the ,pringing up of the Grunaby line—and it always occurred to his mind that this was necessary to the animate success of this great, national, and magnificent undertaking. An inspection of these docks would convince any gentleman that they were abso lute necessary to the prosperity of the commerce of this country. The Sheffield and Lincolnshire Company would soon lase to individuality, a bill having been posed in the last session of Parliament to iunalga. mate them with the Sheffield and Manchester line. lie thought there was no railway in the kingdom which would afford es) great an amount of aecommod.dion as that one of which they had had the p'essure of teeing the Mayor cut the sod that day." MIDLAND AND THIRSK JCNCTlON.—Yesterday a meet ing of scriphoklers was held In Leeds, fur the purpose of considering the recent negotiations of the directors with the Leeds and Weft Rid ing Bankirg Company. Mr. James Ilepper, of Shipky, the chair man of the directors, presided. It appeared from the statements of the chairman, that in consequence of the Leeds and West Riding Rankin'; Company (who held the depeeits of the railway company when this bank Impends. Its payrombi himary last), being unable to fulfil thek eadsgeassot with the Ardor, of the railway company to repay the amount deposited by bar opal Instalments of five shillings each, as reportadto the sallootroampany at hoist mast. lag In August, the directors of the Utak Jvastimalts6- way Company had btea aitßp. to mho stathar pamlstimi meat with with the hank, white arraigament the sorlpholdlam wore saw convened to sanction. Thaeisiga oleo railway ea tho teak was abut 32,0001., whish. Wilk Worm& to August ma k a gra of 33,7571. • and by the orrasipmatat make omideratiat the aka& tors of the railway compatry lad received a as of 13,1001. fa cask and commercial secorkko to the amount of 23,7001., which were to be realised M simisesdates, the last being due in March 1049. These sums were to be maspord in full of the railway company's claim, if the securities were they realised ; but if failure was made in the payment of any one of than for ten days after it beciunedue, than the Railway Company were to be at liberty to sue for the balance of the full amount of 33,7571. But if the meeting of serlpbolders refused to ratify this arrangement, all the cash and bills so paid in pursuance of It were to be returned to the banking company. The chairman added, that if the agreement was confirmed, and if the securities which they bad received were duly honoured, as he bad reason to believe they would be, the directors of the Railway Company would be able to return to the scripholders Ws. per share on the 7th November next ; and a further sum of I 'a. per Marc at the end of June, 1817 ; and a further sum of Is. led per share in March or April, 1849 shortly after the last bill becomes due. After considerable discussion, the meeting resolved, on the motion of Mr. Joseph Richardson, of Leeds, seconded by Mr. Christ. Bibb, of Idle, that the agreement should be confirmed, and that notice should forthwith be given of the repay ment to the scripholdere of 20s. per share on the 7th Nov., and a pro rota proportion of the rest of the deposits to be realised, as soon ' thereafter as may be practicable. A vote of thanks to the chairman and managing committee was unanimously adopted, and the meeting broke up. BRIGHTON AND Htsrincs.—Yesterday morning it was discovered that a slip had occurred in this line about a mile on the Brighton side of Pevensey. I here is a deep and extensive cutting there through greensand and blue clay. One side of the cutting has gone down in a semi-liquid state, filling up the hollow, and the rails to the top of the opposite teak. The length of th c e an 4 ln i g s about fifty yards, and the quantity of earth to be removed is esti mated at about 40,009 cubic yards. All trains are more or leas delayed, by the necessity of changing here from uoe set of carriages to another. It is thought that five or six weeks will be required to repair the line, but in the meantime a temporary siding will be formed for the passage of trains. The work has already been 0001. menced. The expense falls on the contractor (Mr. Wythes), who engaged to construct the line and keep it in repair for three years from the opening. FOREIGN.— MIDDLEBURG AND IfAESTRICHT. The plans for the bridge to be constructed over the Eastern Scheldt and the Meuse at Middleburg, for the passage of the railway from that city to 31aestricht, are now ready, and the works will soon be com menced. The author of this gigantic undertaking is Mr. Rennie, the English engineer. FRENCH Nolan ERN. —The attention of the directors of the Northern line has for same time pre.t been directed to the means of rendering leas dangerous the steep emtunkments between Douai and Arras, near where the late disaster occurred. An important step has just been taken. A high and strong wall, upon solid ma sonry, has been erected along the embankment, as that should a train run cattle line it cannot roll down the declivity. BELOIT:M.—The Minister of Public Works has given notice, that the works of construction for the section of the line from Bechtel to Maseyek, comprised between Bree and Neeroeteren, will ahertly be adjudicated. By a royal act of the 23rd September the section of the line from Jupille to Vise, is to be prolonged from the latter place to the village of Berneau, on the line from Battice to Maestrieht.

(Advertisement] WESTERN GAS-LIGHT PANT'S WORK% AT Kt.:MULL-ORWL To the Editor al the News.—Sir : I bale noticed in the daily papers ofyrsterday sidle the Rev.

Had it been necessary to dd motive for this unwarrantable act, it could not be more 'bear posed than it is, by the writer of the letter ; who states, as a for " the suppression," i that " to mention an amendment wee the appearance of boasting of a tiiumph," became it sea/inept a majority of 20 ! Surely no one can consider it wonderful the capable of giving thin explananation fork, debts rate a departs the ordinary mode of publication adopted Sy those who give en publicity to the whole proceedings of a public meeting, conceive and assert that 'unquestionably notbinc could 1 creditable, nothing more straightforward," than the eour,w by itself and colleuguea on this occasion. But the Rey. A. bertce is not content with pimply essaying to deprive an in set of suppression of all ifs " unquestionably" discreditable amen • he goes further, and, " as • proof of their ;himself s porters) wish to act with forbearance," states that " publish the letters" expressive of resistance "by all legs: and Ultima! means "to " the threatened evil." Extraordinary cone! Perham, owing to this ill-advised reservation, tl writer and chairman forgets, altogether, his unwearied on mitting interruption to the morer of the amendment, while s in support of lug motion, which at length compelled that gent withdrawal from the meeting. He also omits to ryraark, ' fore Mr. Maxwell withdrew, he appealed in vain to Rev. A. G. Pemberton's) sense of gentieni.nly feeling and "cc for an uninterrupted hearing—the undeniable and admitted the speaker. Moreover, he is entirely oblivious on the fat th lutionn were "got up ; " and rules manifestly intended to parties present of any right to utter their sentiments and a ing the chairman "to remove" from the room, any pram' fered from him on whatever might require a cha i rman's were prepared, and read, before the business of the meetiny tt devised to control had begun! As corollary consequence, 01 ' suppremed. that policemen in plain clothes were in the it others, in official attire, about the premises, forthe purpt.e,n of carrying the rev. chairman's forbearance into effect when meekness spoke the mandate of expulsion' Truly this forbc..fan very l'embcrtonian.
