RAILWAYS.—About a fortnight since • a number of experiments with the locomotive engines were per formed at Killingworth, near Newcastle-upon-Tyne, by order of the Committee of the Liverpool and Man chester Railway. In the first instance, namely, on the 18th ult.—the trials were made with an old and I imperfect engine, the results of which gave a. speed of not more than four miles an hour, with a moderate load. On the 22,1 ult. however, a superior engine, of eight horse power, being employed, the ili.imeter of the wheels being lour feet, five different trialsof its power and speed were made. The weight moved, exclusive of the engine, was 48 tons, 15 cwt. The inclination of the road was 1 in 840; the greatest rise in any part 11 inches in 100 yards, or one in 327. The engine and load being moved in both directions along this inclined plane, the total result may be considered as upon a horizontal plane. The average velocity was very nearly seven miles an hour, and the greatest speed nine miles and a half an hour. As a good deal of misrepresenta tion has gone abroad upon the subject of these experi ments, we think it well to state that the above report is upon the authority of Mr. J. WALKaR, of Limehouse, one of seven engineers who were present : and in addi tion to the above, we will mention that Mr. WALKER distinctly states, that had the railway been good and well-fixed," the result would have been higher?' As these engines were not of the best construction Or speed, no doubt can be entertained that with proper engines, goods and merchandise may be conveyed with a very considerable increased velocity. • From the sth April next, the Customs Officers in our ports in the Clyde, will take the sole charge of Ming the whole duties chargeable on articles taken nd fur home consumption. This wise mea a great relief both to the Merchants and to .s of both branches of the Revenue, and y to accelerate the dispatch of business in articles and in the payment of the respective greatly lessen the trouble and expense at exportation of every article of commerce. • BOULOGNE-SUR-HER, FEB. 5. TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Sta—l take the liberty of sending you the translation of an article which appeared in one of our Weekly Pa: pens of Boulogne (L'Annotateur Boulonnais), in answer to a paragraph inserted in the STAR of January 20, concerning this town, which you would greatly oblige a constant reader by inserting in your estimable Journal. Though the article contains some mistakes, it is on' the whole pretty correct, except in one instance, that of King John signing the abdication of England, when it is well known (as was stated in the STAR), that King James committed this notorious deed ; but that King James the Second signed it in that house, is certainly a report without any foundation : in this your correspon dent was certainly misinformed. In another instance also,te says, Boulogne, is almost 'an English town—now, at no time since the return of Louis XVIII. has Boulogne numbered two thousand English inhabitants, at present it contains from 800 to 1000. Masked balls, and private theatricals, are the fashion at present. The latter amusement is much in vogue—the Honey Moon, the Rivals, and the Merchant of Venice, have all been lately performed by young men of the place, with the greatest applause. This town has been much calumniated, on account of two or three English families (a disgrace to their country), who with their gambling and other vices, which lose nothing in report, throw a blot on the,repu tation of the English residents. The English chapel, conducted by four resident Clergymen, is generally filled as full as it can hold. The report of a duel fought in this neighbourhood is generally supposed to be incorrect. To-day is by far the coldest we have had. Indeed, it is the first real frost, and we hope much it may con tinue. The following is the article from the Boulogne Paper to which I have alluded : " It was on the event of one of the French Sriciety balls, where the two nations were united with the most frank cordiality, that the Correspondent of an English Paper (the STAR) observes—' To see so many of the French and English cordially meeting, or embracing each 4 other during the waltzes, and promoting each other's amusement, could not fail to be the subject of some reflection, when one considers the prodigious army once assembled here by Bonaparte, and his boasted flotilla for the invasion of happy Albion.' • The vessels of this great fleet,' says the author of this letter, ' were destroyed in 1813 by the French themselves, tired of the despotism of Bonaparte, as well as the expense and labour a like undertaking must occasion. There only remains one boat, which is shewn as a curiosity to strangers, and snuff-boxes have been made of the others, which are much used by the English. " We must here remark to the Correspondent of the English Journal, that if the vessels of the flotilla were cut up and broken to pieces in 1813, it was because the return of our King, in restoring us a lasting peace, ren dered-them useless; it was the nature of their construc tion which prevented their being used fur any other purpose than that for which they wer e originally des tined, aad because the dry rot had made them unfit for sea. And, undoubtedly, had the Government of his Majesty found it possible to convert them into a dozen good frigates, they would not have ordered their wood to be sold for fuel, or converted into snuff-boxes, which latter article we are of opinion could not be made out of the wood. " As for the labour, and the great expense which was unavoidable fur such an enterprize -(which the author of this letter calls desperate, but which, neverthelesil might have cost him many a sleepless night if he chanced at that time to reside on the oppo%ite slicre), we are well assured that the inhabitants of Boulogne are far from complaining of what was the cause of their piesent and actual prosperity. Bonaparte resembled on this occasion one of those sons of a family who squander away their patrimony, and of whom people make no scruple of profiting, whilst at the same '.time they censure their prodigality. " Amongst the other details of Boulogne,that this letter contains, the writer assigns the house at present occu pied by the Rev. H. Maxwell, as the habitation of Marshal Ney ; on the contrary, it was Marshal Slab that resided there. Ne) lived at the ancient bishop' ic. ••• ••• •• ••• •• ••• ••• ••• •• " We join with the Correspondent in wishing that the excavations in search of antiquities, may be continued in the spring. It is true that they have been . the cause of great interest, both to the French and English here; and, as he says, he has himself seem several of the medals which have been found, he can corroborate the statement of the antiquity and high preservation oh these coins. Speaking of antiquities, we beg him not I to affirm that the walls surrounding the high town were built by the Romans, since every one knows they were constructed by Count Philippe in 1231. 44 The Correspondent concludes his letter by relating a curious circumstance, and which v,e must say, was en tirely unknown to us, it is that King John (nicknamed Lackland), signed the shameful act of the abdication of his throne, in a house a mile from Boulogne, the room in which this was done now serves the English • family who inhabit it (Lieut. Col. Spicer), as a stable.' 4 4 We shall be delighted to verify this statement, as it will be an historical memoir worth preserving, and shall feel greatly obliged if any one would give some more particulars on this heretofore unknown event."— L'An not/deur Boulonnais. At the Petty Sessions held in Fermoy on the 29th ult. the Bench of Magistrates sentenced a young lad to a month's hard labour at the Tread-mill„for having left his master's service without giving him notice, and expressed their determination to punish with the utmost severity every delinquency of the same kind. An account has been laid before the House of Com mons, dated Treasury Chambers, Ist February, 1825, which contains the first general statement of the pro duce of the Revenue of the United Kingdom for the past year, the abstracts already published in the news papers having reference to Great Britain alone. The total ordinary Revenue, in the year ended Jan. collecting 111 s sUur t e will of bondb I the Officers tend greatly *bc•nding arti • duties, and tending the 5, 1824, was the year ended January 5, 1825, it was £473,244 Increase The total Revenues in the two years, including the repayment from Austria, Imprest Monies, and re payments of Irish advances, were— In 1823 3E52,617,126 1854 54,238,192 —The real increase of the Revenue in the last year was thus 473,2441.—an increase which, considering the re duction of taxes in the last year, and the repayment on account of the silk duties, must be admitted to be highly gratifying. ae51,485,656 51,956,800 LAW REPORT". COURT OF CHANCERY, FEBRUARY 8. JOINT STOCK COMPANIES. ETRE V. EVERETT, WALKER, AND CO. Mr.HEALD and Mr. HART were heard at some length on the part of the defendants, and putting -out of view all arguments resulting from the Act 6th Geo. I. con tended, that the plaintiff was bound as surety for the payment of 2,2001. as much as any other surety on a' common bond, placed in circumstances of a similar na ture. No equity whatever had been raised, whatever might be the effect of the legal question. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, in reply, maintained, that the equity on the bill was clear and indisputable, and that the plaintiff could not be called upon to pay, as surety in a transaction, which, in fact, was all moon shine. This point had not been tried at law. The LORD CHANCELLOR said there were two ways of looking at this question, as far as related to the mo tion for injunction—first, as to what had been done at law ; and secondly, what might have been dqne at law. A discovery might have been called for by the, plaint ff to aid the trial at law, to shew what monies had been paid. The plaintiff might have tried at law what he had declined to try, for two pleas had been pleaded at law which were never touched upon. He felt as mud) as any man the hardship of the plaintiff's cage, but it was his duty to look at these various circumstances. The SoucITOR-GENERAL apprehended that if the re. integra were before the Court, his Lordship would have no difficulty in allowing the Injunction. Why, then, should the plaintiff be refused his remedy, because there happened to have been a ha;ty and imperfect decision pronounced in a Court of Law ? The Loan CHANCELLOR, at the conclusion of the ar guments observed, that with respect to the Act 6 Geo.l. this Court had as complete a jurisdiction to decide upon matter of fact as a Court of Law, but at the same' time it would be extremely cautious how it decided contrary to the opinion of a emit of Law. If it should be made to appear by the record that the transaction in which the pat ties were engaged was illegal, it would be difficult to say that a Court of Equity could over look the cit cumstance altogether, and could entertain a jurisdiction. If the plaintiff, therefore, founded his ar guments upon the fact, that the Company in which he was engaged, and with which he had intermixed him self, was illegal, the questiota was, whether a Corot of Equity would lend its assistance to any parties.so cir cumstanced ? His Lordship then proceeded : I beg it to be understood that I ant not now expressing any opinion as to the legality or illegality 4.f the Company now before the Court, and much less do I say that it might not have a most laudable object in view ; hut I do mean to say, that let its,object be as laudable. as you please, that Company cannot act contrary to the provi sions of the 18th section of the Act 6 Geo. I. and the nature of that object will never justify any Court of Jus:ice in saying, that because its objects are so lauda ble, it may proceed in direct contradiction to the pro. visions of the Act. lf that Act declares that such Corpo rate Bodies must have the sanction of an Act of Parlia ment, or the authority of a Charter from the Crown, no Court of Justice can say that it can act as a corporate body until it has obtained such sanction. Although thete mty be many cases of provosed under takings which may be of high benefit and advitittage to the Public, yet, if you do not apply the law to them as well as to others pregnant with mischief, or (to use the words of the Act) intolerable grievances, you let loose upon the Public, and upon ignorant people, projects which can be of no use to them, and may be productive of most incalculable mischief. We must, therefore, le gislate generally upon the subject, and whether the Legislature in its wisdom may deem fit to make any further provisions, no Court of Justice canrefuse to act upon the law as it now stands." His Lordship concluded by saying, that this case was one, under the peculiar circumstances, of much pressure and importance, and called upon him, imperiously, for a speedy judgment. He would, therefore, take home the answer and read it, and by to-morrow, or Thursday at the latest, he would be prepared with his decision. ADMIRALTY SESSIONS, OLD BAILEY, FEB.B. Hugh Hastings and Alexander Mahony were charged with having, on the 27th of February last, being then matiners on board the Havannah PAcket, piratically and feloniously conspired to carry off the said vessel. The charge was varied in three other different counts. It appeared from the evidence of the first and se cond mate, and one of the mariners of the Havannah Packet, that the prisoners and the greater part of the rest of the crew, being dissatisfied with their allowance on the voyage to the Havannah, became very unruly, disregarded the authority of the Captain, talked of bringing up the guns (two 18-pounders) from the hold, and turning the vessel into a privateer, first throwing the officers overboard. Much of this, however, seemed to be the mere ebullition of discontent and intoxication, without any determination to put their threats into exe cution. The Captain and the Mates seized the two pri. soners, the most prominent of the rioters, and chained them to the deck, until they reached the Havannah, where they were delivered over to a Spanish guard-ship, and afterwards conveyed to England. The others ab sconded on reaching the Havannah. Alr. BRODILICK, on behalf of the prisoners, took an objection to the indictment, which the Court reserved for the opinion of the Judges. The Jury found the prisoners Guilty on two of the counts. Lord STOWELL respited the judgment Wail the point raised by Mr. Brodrick be decided. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, FEBRUARY a. Thomas Davison, formerly a shopkeeper at Barking, in Essex, was opposed by several creditors. It appeared that the insolvent was arrested in July, and about the middle of the same month he gave Mrs. Robins, his aunt, a warrant of attorney for 1001. the amount of a debt. On the first day of Term he went to prison, and shortly after his property was sold by his aunt, to meet the amount of the bond. Notwithstanding his insol vency in July, he contracted large debts with his op posing creditors, and finding he was unable to carry on his business, he offered them Bs. in the pound, to be paid by instalments, which was refused. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER said, the insolvent • had been guilty of an undue preference, in giving a war rant of attorney to his aunt. He had increased his of fence by contracting debts without having any means of paying them ; and it was quite clear that he had but little prospect of paying Bs. in the pound. The insolvent was then sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. One day last week, as a labourer was digging op an old post at Northiam, he discovered in a hole near the bottom of the post, snugly lid np, more thais fifty full grown frogs. ~.,~. _ _ _ PUBLIC MARRTEGg Ai b ST. ANDREW'S CHURCH, PLYMOUTH. Last week was married, at St. Andrew's Church, C. Holloway, of the • Royal Engineers, son of Major-General Sit Charles Holloway, of Stoke Cottage, to Amelia, youngest daughter of the hate Captain Rlphinstone, of Belisle. The friends of the parties assembled at Ikilair and Stoke, and after breakfast the pro:- cession, of fourteen carriages, united at Devonport. An elegant chariot and four, containing the bride and two of her bridemaids, took the lead, followed by Sir Charles Holloway's coach. and four, in which were the bridegroom. • The footmen, post•boys, and horses, were decorated with white favours : fi n e carpeting Was spread from the carriage steps to the communion table, over which the party walked. The bride was richly attired, in a full.dress of white satin and plumes. After the ceremony the procession again drove off through Stonehouse and Devonport, and the happy pair Bowed in their chariot and four. In the evening, after dinner, tier set off for Exeter. e interest etched on this occasion was of the most extraordi nary description. As early as eight o'clock in the morning, the church was occupied by a multitude, of which a great part was composed of females; but we have to regret that the sacredness of the place was little regarded. At ten, being the hour of Divine Service, which is performed in this church twice every day in the week throughout the year, the same was rendered impracticable by the turbulence of the populace. Cries of " Murder I order ! help ! help!" whistling, and even swearing ! were heard in a house de voted to the worship of Gon, and the unruly mob was not restrained by any respect for the Minister, or for the holy *ord, which was attempted to be read. Indeed, it was a scene of the most harroning nature to those who reverence the sanctuariea• of our religion.— There could not be less than three thousand persons present; the pulpit, reading-desk, and even the edges of the pannets of the setts, were tenanted; persons sere actually mounted on each other's shoulders, and the streets and houses outside were crowded with the multitude of spectators. At half-past eleven the procession reached the church. The tumult was now increased, the press for a view was intense, and the crowd, notwithstanding the great exer tions to prevent it, took forcible possession of the inner rails of the communion table, which are much injured, and noddy violated, with their clamour and contention, that most sacred portion of the, church. In the midst of all this tumult, the marriage ceremony was performed, and the multitude shortly after dispe rsed. Skererne Journal. _ ' INIELLIGIaCE. 7 4 RLEOROUG Yesterday. Mr. Ogle the Surgeon to the parish of Saint Gaels's, residing at No. 10, Great Newport-street, attended before Sir G. FAWN; at this Office, in consequence of a later having been transmitted to hint the night before,by Mr. CONANT, the Magittrate intimating the expediency of an immediate minute examination oi the body of the murdered man Keaton, as the evidence against the unhappy woman was incomplete without, such a surgical view of the deceased ; the young man, Mr. Webb, Mr. Ireland's assistant, not having made any anatomical observations. Mr. Ogle described the injuries inflicted ; he was clearly of opinion that the death of the deceased had been caused by those external injuries, and that no medical attendance, however prompt, could have saved his life. The prisoner is to be further examined on Thorsday.—A son of the deceased has been taken up on suspicion of robbery, and remanded for further examination. WORSHIP-STRRET. Mary Junes, alias Waterloo Toes, was brought up by an officer d the Mt ndieity Society. Poor Tom, who had been a soldier, and fought at Waterloo, was caught begging in Goswell-street Road, hest nig a placard descriptive of her military services. She has a small pension, but that, she declared, was insufficient to provide her with those delicacies of life gin and snuff. In defence, the said she was about to take up her quarters for life in Whitechapel Work. ' house, and if the Magistrate would dismiss her this once, upon the honour of a soldier, he should never see her again ; but Tom's ho. ncur had been so often pledged, and never once jedeemed, that the Magistrate thought it necessary to send her to 14 days' drill at the Tread Mill, previous to taking op her winter quarters. The French Chambers had a sitting on the 4th inst. when the Peers continued to discuss the project of law relative to Female Convents. The Deputies only exa• mined, received, and rejected, an immense number of petitions, from various individuals of all ranks, claiming a share in the promised indemnity to emigrants. DREAIiTUL ACCIPENT.—The Journal de Lyons re. ports a melancholy event which lately happened in that city. On Tuesday night (January 19), a !muse build ing in the new road (Cherain Neuf,) opposite the Cham ber of Notaries, fell with a dreadful crash. This house, four stories high, had been erected upon the founda tion of a small house. They had considered an old wall strong enough to form part of the building ; the wall was of stone up to the height of one story and a half, the rest was cement, and being humid, could not sustain the weight of the new work. Five workmen were in the house.at the moment it fell. They endea voured to descend by the staircase, and were carried to the bottora, near the door, where they were found dead. A young lad, an apprentice, was buried at the anoment he was collecting his tools. Many persons ran, the moment the accident was known, to render assist ance, and continued at work upon the ruins all night. One of the sufferers, named Manisser, 60 years of age, was found with both legs separated from his body ; in the rubbish at the enttance of 'the great door, they found one of his legs, but the other could not be found. This unfortunate old man remained from six to eleven at night, when he expired in the most horrible agony. The head had suffered much. One eye was torn horn 'the socket. The sufferer, just, before his death, asked for a pillow, upon which he might lay his head and ex pire. He has left a widow without children. The two other 'workmen who perished, are Balthazar Cancalon, uncle of the contractor, and Stephen Giraud. Cancalon was killed near the door at the instant he was endea vouring to rush out. His body was found mutilated, and without the least sign of life. The body of Ste phen Giraud could not be found. It was supposed to amidst the rubbish. Cancalon has left a wife and se veral children. He was forty-two years of age. He always said it would be his last job.
