By F. B. COURTENAY, And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Irmary for the Cure'of Strictures of the Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose special attention has been directed, through a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec.

Just Published, price is., free by Post for Fourteen Stamps, SZECOND LIFE : or ELECTRICAL NERVOUS FORCE ; a MEDICAL WORK, intended for the special perusal of all who are suffering from the various forms of NERVOUS and PHYSICAL DEBILITY, and the distress ing ulterior consequences to which they lead ; with practical Observations on the great Curative power of ELECTRO GALVANISM in the treatment of these Disorders, by infus ing tone and vigour in constitutions relaxed or debilitated from various enervating causes. Illustrated with Cases com- piled from the Note-bOok of a Registered Medical Practi tioner of twenty years' standing. Unlike many vaunted restoratives, Electricity is one which commends itself to the medical man as being accordant with the soundest teachings of physiology. By the most obvious indication it admits of being shown that the Electrical and Nervous energies are identical ; hence, that when the latter fails, the former can take its place, and that when, from irre gularities of any kind, the nervous system has become debili tated, paralysed, or exhausted, and the patient brought to a condition little short of total prostration, then by the action of Electricity, imparting certainty and efficacy to medical treatment, he can be re-invigorated, and his health re-esta blished to a degree almost warranting the designation of SECOND LIFE.

The company already pos sessed authority under the Bill of 1855 to make an arrangement with the London and North Western Company for working the line ; and it would become a consideration before they took any other step as to how far they could pro c ed under that Act. Mr. WAGSTAFF, the solicitor, then read the clauses retained in the Bill, which conferred powers for an extension of time for making two new branches ; also powers to purchase land between the line at Cannock and the Birmingham Camll, and to enable the company to raise more capital for the works. The CHAIRMAN, in moving a resolution approving the Bill, said that, notwithstanding the leaQing powers had been struck out, he had no doubt that the railway had now attained such a position as to traffic that there was no reason to fear a falling off in the receipts; consequently, there was no danger of their property declining in value. Mr. J. B. PAYN seconded the motion, which was unanimously adopted. In reply to a question from a shareholder, Mr. WAGSTAFF said he was of opinion that the two companies already possessed sufficient powers to make an agreement as .to the lease of the line ; but ho was not prepared to say whether the Lon don and North-Western Company would make another application to Parliament.

THE' QUEEN'S HOTEL, Queenstown. — Mr. ROBERT WILSON respectfully apprises tourists and families visiting this delightful watering-place, the air of which is famed throughout Europe, that the splendid esta blishment so well known as the " Queen's Hotel" has come under his management. This hotel is one of the finest in the United Kingdom; and besides being furnished with all the luxuries and appliances of a First-class Hotel, it combines all the advantages of a beautiful situation, commanding charm ing views, the best attendance, ample accommodation either for families or single visitors, close contiguity to the steam boat pier, and the finest promenades of Queenstown, and a scale of prices so moderate as to enable its visitors to enjoy all the advantages of a first-class hotel on the same terms they would have to pay In a minor one. From its open and healthful situation the Queen's Hotel is also peculiarly suit able for invalids.

LETTER FROM M. KOSSU.7H. The subjoined letter has been forwarded to the Leeds Mercury by Mr. Alderman Mitchell, of Bradford, a gentleman on intimate terms of friend ship with M. Kossuth. It was written while in Paris, before the distinguished exile's departure for Italy : " PARIS, June 17. " My dear friend,—The generous country where I rested my tempest-tossed head for many long years Fes behind me, and outward bound is my small craft on the stormy sea, with nothing safe but my determination, which nothing can shake, — that happen what may to me personally, either my country will be free, or else I shall know to pre serve her from immolating herself in vain. " I may become a victim, my nation will not be come one. I may be instrumental in calling her forth to re-awakening life. Can I not do this safely, I shall take care to preserve her future uncompro mised. " Revolving in my mind all the noble, delicate friendship, all the consolations of sympathy, which I was allowed to enjoy in your country from many, many friends—from none more than from you— emotions throng upon me too strong to allow of words. By the Eternal, I feel myself as much a man as any mortal on earth ; yet, while I write, a tear trembles on my whimpers, and I feel not ashamed of it. " It is a tribute of a grateful heart for benefits received. • It is an offering that accompanies my silent but fervent invocation of the choicest blessings of God upon your country, your house, yourself, and upon all those of your people, whose kindness and sympathy poured the smallest drop of consola- tion into the wounds of la:1y adversity. " If I succeed, I hope to see you, and many of you, in my own home; and no brother has ever greeted a brother with a heartier welcome than I and my people will greet you, or any of you. " If I fall, you will say that I have fallen on duty's path. " If I am spared, but fail, I may see England again. Then, however, it will be a broken, useless reed, that is cast on your shores, and few will be the days which it will be able to bear before it rots. " Come weal, come woe,' the will of Him above be done. F " Farewell! farewell! ever yours truly, " KOSSUTH." THE GERMANIC CONFEDERATION. FRANKFORT-ON-THE-MAINE, July 16.—The march of the Prussian troops has decidedly been stopped, and if the formation of magazines continues it is only a measure of economy, the contractors having very naturally demanded an enormous payment as forfeit money if their capital bargains were annulled. The demobilisation of the troops can only be effected by a resolution of the Diet, which called thorn out, and this body moves so slowly that some time may elapse before they are dismissed. The Prussian Government has, however, already taken steps to grant leave of absence to those of the Landwehr whose business or family relations are the most affected by their absence from home. In the Prussian army, as well as among the people in general, there is a general feeling of disappoint ment at the impotent conclusion of the war. The soldiers would gladly have exchanged tin mono tony of a garrison for active duty, and the citizens who, though hoping for peace, were reconciled to the idea of war, now find themselves in a position which they hardly understand, and were not at all prepared for. We may hope that what has passed will prove sufficient to force Prussia into the recog nition of her own interests as separate from those of Austria. She now sees how weak the divjointed colossus is, when unsupported by Germany, unable as it is to depend upon any one of its various populations at home. Prussia must feel that she has now an oppor tunity to assume a preponderating influence in all Germany, and if she neglects it not she alone but all the other Seates will soon sUffer. But the war has proved to conviction something else. It has demonstrated the utter worthlessness of the Con federation as a bond of union in times of emer gency. Its constitution must be changed or it must be done away with entirely, and this latter would probably be the surest and shortest way to create German unity. Even when the obstacie which the obstructiveness of the Diet presents is removed, there o f division in the jealousies were still remain nmore than suffi cientcauses of the Go vernment, and the differences of religion. The following is a translation from the German of an English despatch of which the importance can hardly be exaggerated. Much of the vigour of the original has probably •evaporated in the double process of translation and retranslation, but the sense has been carefully preserved : " Foreign-office , June 22 . "My Lord,—Her Majesty's Government sees with great concern an indication manifesting itself in Germany to take part in the war which has broken out between France and Sardinia on one side and Austria on the other. It of upon the moderate and sagacious behaviour Prussia whether the present war is to be confined to Italy or extend to German territory, and per haps to other parts of Europe. depends chiefly " The Emperor Napoleon has declared that it is not his wish to attack Germany. It is hoped and believed that the Prince Regent of Prussia wi▪ ll not take part in an attack upon France. But it h as been maintained that Germany is, if not directly, at least indirectly, threatened; that if she di▪ d not take part in a war on the Po she would soon have to defend herself on the Rhine ; that t he Austrian fortresses on the Mincio and the Adige were in reality the bulwarks of Germany against France. There is much loose and unproved assertion in this statement. - " The war between Austria and Sardinia has un doubtedly—perhaps inevitably—sp ru ng from the state of things in Italy. Sin c e 1815 Austria has exercised a supremacy de f ac to over the Italian States ; in the course of th e l as t few years Sardinia has favoured and fostered th e p as sion of the Italians for independence. When Lord A. Loftus demanded from Count Buol a pledge that Austria would in no case order her army to cross her frontier in Italy without having previously come to an understand ing with France, the reply was, No, I cannot give you that assurance, for it would be a surrender of our sovereign power. We shall not intervene in any State unless our aid is asked for, and in that case it will be granted, and the knowledge that it will be granted is the best preservative of order.' Conse sequently Austria was not prepared to give up the claim to a right of intervention in case she was ap pealed to for the latter, and Sardinia, on the other hand, would not give up the pretension to repre sent the sorrows and aspirations of Italy ; but, inas much as the King of Sardinia was not able to carry through such a dispute with his own force, he has demanded the assistance of the Emperor of the French, and it has been granted to him. do:not speak here of the immediate cause of the war —on this . • point my predecess"r has already very completely her Majes ty 's developed views. But from the statement just made it is evident that the fundamental origin of the wa r i s t o b e sought for in the diametrically opposite pretensions put up by Austria and Sardinia. • This war has broken out without any reference to Germany . The asser tion that France, when successful on the Po and the Brenta, will prove to be an aggressive policy on the Rhine, • a perfectly arbitrary assertion. 'The momentous question of invol • ving the continent in war should not be decided on the ground of vague hypothesis and exaggerated apprehensions. Now, it is a tenable statement Mincio and on the Adige are bulwarks of Germany. It must be borne in mind that the fortresses of Peschiera, Verona, and Mantua do not fall within the ancient limits of Germany ; that, on the con trary, ti - e whole territory from Verona to the Adriatic in the year 1792 formed u nwarlike, and dec a yi ng Italian state* part of a weak, "The utmost that ca n b e • said is that while many Germans look upon these fortresses as a bulwark of Germany, many Italians look upon them as a menace to Italy. The treaty of peace must decide about their future fate. 6( The reasons adduced in favour of part of the German States thus being insufficient, very strongly resist so precipitate a course. The i Prince Regent of Prussia will, i n h • s wisdom, weigh the impolicy of exposing his country to be con sidered the champion of the maladministration of Italy. It cannot be nece ssary f or t h e sa f e t y o f Berlin and Magdeburg that the government in Milan and Bologna should be bad. But, in the eyes of the Italians, Prussia, shoul she appear in arms by the side of Austria, would be considered as a defender of everything Austria has committed and omitted. " There is still another consideration of the ut most importance. Hitherto the war has produced but little excitement in France. As soon as the question of superiority in the field shall have been decided the two belligerent Powers will probably be strongly inclined to put a stop to this exhausting war. But, should France, by a Ger man attack, be called upon to defend her own fron tiers, it is impo sible to foretell to what pitch the passions of international hatred might not be in flamed, and for what space of time the continent of Europe might not have to suffer the desolations of war. "You are already sufficiently informed of her Majesty's resolve, supported by the unanimous feeling of her people, to observe a strict neutrality. Her Majesty has kept this country free from all and every obligation which might interfere with her freedom of action. Her Majesty's Government entertains the hope that Prussia will adopt a course as nearly similar as the circumstances of Germany will permit. Possibly the Time is very near when the voice of mediating friendly Powers will be able to,make itself successfully heard, and when representations in favour of peace will no longer be without effect.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office, feadenhall-street ; Mr. H. D. Seymour, M.P., in the chair. Mr. NOTMAN read the report. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that since the last meeting a. portion of the line 221 miles in length had been opened for traffic, and he was happy to say that the traffic for the short time the line had been in operation was satisfactory. Mr. J. CHAPMAN, deputy-chairman, seconded the. motion. - Mr. BUTT said the line was looked upon with great. favour by the inhabitants of the district thrc ugh which it passed. Shares were held, from one to fifty, by parsons in the locality, and it would no doubt be gratifying to them to know that the affairs of the company were progressing satisfac torily. He was quite sure that on the opening of the line throughout the local traffic would be trebled, and, of course, be independent of the through traffic. !'he report was then unanimously adopted. The meeting was then made special to consider the propriety of leasing the undertaking to the London and 'South-Western Railway Company? The Secretary 'read the special report, which stated that under the agreement the South-Western Company had the option of purchasing the railway either for £567,000 or for the amount actually ex pended on it, with 4 per cent. interest, and 10 per cent. bonus added thereon, while by the Act of Parliament referred to, the proportion of the gross earnings of the railway falling to this com pany, and being 57 per cent., must be commuted within 20 years from the opening of the line throughout into a fixed yearly payment, or failing an agreement between the two companies, that sum must be settled by arbitration. The option of purchase still remained to the South-Western Com pany, and, although the shareholders were bound within 20 years to convey that undertaking to that compaiy for a fixed annual rent, the amount thereof must be determined by mutual agreement, and only in the event of no such agreement being come to at the end of that period was the sum to be fixed by arbitration. It was evident therefore, that for 20 years the shareholders could not be damaged, nor the terms of the old agreement varied without their own consent, while, at the end of the time, when the rent must be settled compulsorily, the traffic would be thoroughly developed, and the sum to be awarded must, in all likelihood, be much higher than it would be at present. The directors had, consequently, no hesitation in recommending the lease for the approval of the shareholders. The CHAIRMAN explained the object of the special meeting, which was to confirm the propo sition for leasing the line to the London and South-Western Railway Company. 571 per cent. of the gross receipts would be available for interest on the money expended. The probability was that before the end of the 20 years they would know the ultimate value of their property, and if any diffe rence should arise, the Board of Trade would have power to decide the amount. No doubt great per sonal efforts and personal sacrifices had been made to provide the funds for the completion of the line. They had to thank the South-Western Company for the assistance they had given them. He trusted the result would be satisfactory to both, and he could assure the proprietors that the directors had obtained the best terms they could. He concluded ny moving a formal resolution approving the lease. Mr. J. CHAPMAN seconded the motion, and in doing so could corroborate the statement of the chairman respecting the assistance which had been iv had e i n t o t t h e o m n l b y y a t c h S t e e d o i m u t p h a - r l a e sl r ly t n o C w o tt np r Company. i n h 3 e - 'They fairly and liberally. There was one thing which he believed would add to their success, and that was a determination of both boards to work in har mony. Mr. BUTT thought the agreement was exceed ingly just and equitable. He tru •ted that it would not only be profitable to them, but also to the South- Western Company. (Hear, hear.) He wished to know, in case of a second line being required, whether the company would have to provide it out of the proposed purchase-money ? NOTMAN stated that the cost of a second line of rails when required would be paid for, in addi- tion to the proposed amount for the single line. The stipulated purchase-money of £567,000 included the bonus of 10 per cent. In rcply to a question, it was stated that an alteration had been made in the line so as to ob tain a better entrance into the town of Sherburne. A formal resolution approving the lease of the line to the South-Western Company was carried unanimously. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors for their attention to the interests of the company, and also to the directors of the South-Western Company for their cordial co-operation in carrying out the under taking. LEEDS, BRADFORD, AND HALIFAX JUNCTION. Yesterday a speciainCeeting..Of the proprietors of this Great iaw 'ilay was Northern held atthe Station, office sßradford of the ,forthecompany, purpose of considering and approving the provisions of a bill now pending in Parliament, entitled " A bill to authorise the Leeds, Bradford, and Halifax Junction Railway Company to construct a branch to the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway at Brad ford." Mr. E. Akroyd, chairman of the company, presided. Mr. NELSON, the company's solicitor, read. the marginal notes of the bill, which authorises the creation of new stock to the extent of £40,000 for making the contemplated branch, with a margin of borrowing powers to the extent of £13,000. The works are to be completed within three years. The bill also gives po Nei- to purchase additional land to the extent of five acres, and there is a clause autho rising the company to convert their bond debt into preference shares or stock. The CHAIRMAN moved a resolution approving the bill, and authorising the common seal of th - company to be affixed thereto. In doing so he re capitulated the arguments originally adduced for making the branch, which, by enabling this com pany to run' their passenger trains into the Lanca shire and Yorkshire Company's station, situate in the centre of the business part of Bradford, will remedy an inconvenience long felt b tioth by this the pub lie and this company fro m the posion of com pany's present station.

An adjourned special meeting of this company was held yesterday at Birmingham for the purpose of considering the bill now before Parliament con ferring " additional powers," &c., :upon the com pany. Mr. R. C. Chawner presided. In reference to the bill now before Parliament, be stated that he had hoped to be able to announce that the bill had passed in its entirety, inasmuch as the only part of the bill which was o pposed was the clause authorising a lease to the London and North-Western.

MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—LEICESTER, JULY 18. On Saturday evening Mr. Justice Williams arrived here, and opened the commission. This morning Mr. Chief Justice Erie opened the Crown court, Mr. Justice Williams presiding on the "cause" side. The borough calendar contained.but 'three cases---::ne of stabbing and two of felony. Joseph Mousley, 41, coal merchant, was indicted for feloniously stabbing John William Keen. Prisoner had been to an inn in the town, and the company were chaffing him about his treatment to his wife. He became excited, and on the party leaving he followed prosecutor, and inflicted a wound two inches in length in his left side. He was found guilty, and sentenced to fifteen months' hard labour. The county calendar contains eight cases and 13 prisoners, all of ordinary interest. OXFORD CIRCUIT.—WORCESTER, JULY 18. Business commenced in both courts at ten o'clock this morning, Mr. Justice Byles presiding in the Crown Court and Mr. Justice Wines at Nisi. Prius. Altogether there were 33 prisoners for trial (city and county), and some causes, three of which are inserted for special juries. (Before Mr. Justice Byles.) Theophilus Dunn, engineer, was charged with uttering forged Bank of England notes at Dudley. Th l e prisoner bears a very indifferent character. Ell the month of October last he made a descent upon Dudley, and passed off several forged Bank of England notes upon the tradesmen. Two cases were proved against him, and a former con viction also being proved he was sentenced to ten years' penal servitude. (Before Mr. Justice Willes.) His lordship has been occupied nearly all day in hearing an action for assault, which was not con • chided when our report was despatched. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Yore, JULY 16. (Before Mr. Justice Hill.) Lars Peter Nicholie Ernst and Thomas Walton were arraigned on the indictment for burglary in the house of John Crossley, Esq., at. Manor Heath, near Halifax. The former prisoner had pleaded guilty to the burglary, as well as those at Head ingley Parsonage and Bardsey. Walton was tried on the indictment of receiving some of the property which had been stolen at Manor Heath, the charge of burglary being abandoned against him. It was clearly proved that he had dealt in the stolen pro perty ; and the jury, therefore, found him guilty, and he was sentenced to two months' imprisonment. In passing sentence upon Ernst, who is a native of Denmark, and. who has earned the title of " The Danish Jack Sheppard," the learned judge said that, on referring to Ernst's past history, besides the three burglaries for whioh he was about to be sentenced, he was ordered to be imprisoned, in 1856, for burglary, at Worcester assizes. He served his time ; and in Gloucester, in the same year, he was again convicted; and in the latter part of the same year he was again punished for being found on board a vessel, where he had gono for the pur pOse of committing a robbery. It appeared that imprisonment was perfectly useless in Ernst's case, and he should, therefore, rid the country of him for ten years, by committing him to penal servitude for that period. (Before Mr. Baron Watson.) POTTER V. BLAND.—LIABILITY OF INNKEEPERS. Mr. M: Potter, commercial traveller to Messrs. Ellis and Co., of London, sued Mr. Bland, of the Old George Inn, York, for £Bl 95., which, it was urged, he ought to pay by reason of his liability, in common with other innkeepers, to make good anything lost at his house, if there was no negli gence or other circumstance on the part of the person losing property which put an end to that liability. The plaintiff was staying at the house of the defen dant on the 29th of April, and on his retiring to rest that night he bolted his room door. On the following morning he found the door slightly open, and his money gone ; and it therefore appeared that the thief had been secreted in his room. A person mimed Clark, who has figured a good deal lately in the metropolitan and other prints, left the house early that morning. He was apprehended in Lon don on suspicion of having committed the robbery, but from want of sufficient evident he was dis charged by the York magistrates. The plaintiff had exposed his money in the commercial room in the presence, it is thought, of Clark, who is a yi)ung man of very respectable appearance, and it was consequently submitted that he had been neg ligent, and not entitled to recover. The Judge, however, was of opinion that there hid been no negligence on the p art of Mr. Potter, and _ _ _ The jury, therefore, under his lordship's direc tion, found a •verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount claimed. JULY 18. (Before Mr. Justice Hill.) THE HULL MURDER. John Riley, 36, was charged with the wilful mur der of Alice Riley, at Kingston-upon-Mtn, on the 3d of July inst. The prisoner, who is a thin, sallow looking man, adressed in fustian trousers and a short white smock, hd has an obliquity of vision, pleaded not guilty. Mr. V. Thompson and Mr. Cross (instructed by Messrs. C. and F. Ayre, solicitors, Hull) prose ' cuted ; Mr. West, by request of the learned judge, defended the prisoner. I Mr. Thompson stated the case. The prisoner 4nd his victim were man and wife, and had lived together for about 12 years, as they had children nearly that age. They had resided for some time in Lincolnshire, where they had a serious quarrel, when, in consequence of the prisoner taking a knife and threatening his wife's life, she left him and went to reside in Hull. Her husband visited her from time to time while she was living there, and finally went to reside with her altogether. The pri soner now seemed to be very indolent, doing nothing for the support of his wife and family, but depend ing entirely upon the exertions of his wife for his sus tenance. Mrs. Riley seems to have been very clever as a sempstress, and she earned in this way money sufficient to keep her and her family and her wretched husband for some time, and the latter, when all honest means Tailed, actually forced his unfortunate victim to prostitution to acquire money to satisfy their daily wants. It seems about this time they had frequent quarrels, the husband ill using the wife for not earning money enough to keep him in idleness, an d she on the other h an d resorting to drink to drown her sorrow. In May last they had another quarrel, and the neighbours, on going into the room, found that the poor woman had been very badly used, and was with some diffi culty recovered. The prisoner was brought before the magistrate for the assault, when he was sent to prison for one month. On being liberated in June last, he returned to his wife, but did not seem tt, have had any affray with deceased up to the time of the murder, which took place a fortnight since. The eldest boy had gone out for the day, and in his absence the prisoner and his wife had breakfast together, and in the course of the morning had s ome drink, both husband and wife seeming to be in very good tempers. The woman, it appears, always went to bed when she had got any drink, to sleep off the effects, and having had some on the Sunday morning, in bed, previously the afternoon she retired to however, telling the woman who kept the lodging -house to call her at five o'clock, as she wanted to go out to take tea with a friend. Soon after this the prisoner told a little boy, his eon, to go out and play, and he did so, not return ing until three o'clock , the same a ft ern oon. The prisone r b e i ng now a l one, l oc k e d th e door, and it is presumed proceeded to commit the dreadful act of cutting his wife's throat, for within a short Nil: ',\, S.PAPER ~_.) -\ s. , period from this time, a neighbour wknittl:ttz;fr tt e ' t?', l ' 7 , L borrow a saucepan, or something for donieStrel.,OKlc - 4t—ii and she, finding the, prisoner's- - room doprtr_ , 44 - ,=„7,---: .-1,,. - 7, 1 4),.. shouted "Alice, Alice," but received ficl *WV She then went - round to the, room wind() - :-;-----.- --, - ~...-.----- .... called out the' woman's name again, but 1 - • , -- - success.

To her horror she saw the prisonei r hanging by the neck. She immediately alarmei I the neighbours, and a man named Richardson pry : ceeded into the room. , He had no suspicion 01 anything being wrong with any but the prisoner, and of course proceeded quickly to cut him down. Life was not extinct, and so he left him in the care of some other -persons, while he and a man named _ Balgarno went Fto the bed to awaken the wife, whom they found with her throat cut in such a manner that death must have been instantaneous. On a table near the bed, but out of the reach of the deceased, was found a common table knife, covered with blood. The prisoner on being charged with the crime said nothing. On being searched and examined at the station-house, some spots of blood were found on his clothes, and he (prisoner) said they had been the result of accident •a few days before. Riley afterwards asked another policeman named Pearson where his little boys would be sent to, and afterwards added, " The knife I cut her throat with was the same she attempted to cut my throat with some time before." The prisoner' further explained that the blood on his smock and shirt sleeve was from a cut in his head some time before, and was there When the" row" commenced. ;The prisoner also at the time added, "It's no use saying I'm innocent when I'm not." The witnesses for the prosecution fully proved the above facts, and Mr. West addressed the jury, contending that the unfortunate event had occurred in' a quarrel, and therefore that the offence - wan manslaughter only. The jury found the prisoner guilty of murder, and sentence of death was accordingly, pronounced. MIDDLESEX SESSIONi-July 18. - The July adjourned 'Quarter Sessions commenced yesterday morning at the Guildhall, Westminster, before Mr. Bodkin, Assistant-Judge, Mr. Payne, deputy, and a bench of magistrates. The calendar was very light, there beinc , but 39 prisoners for trial-36 for felony, and three for misdemeanour. The Assistant-Judge delivered the charge to the grand jury. • BARMEN USING FALSE CHARACTERS.-CAUTION. John Gieen, 23, a barman, was indicted for steal ing 3s. 6d., the monies of William James Smith, his master. Mr. Cooper prosecuted. Mr. Ribton was counsel for the prisoner. • The case in itself was very simple r ;but after it was over statements were made, which rendered it an important one, particularly to licensed victuallers employing barmen. The prosecutor, Mr. Smith, was the proprietor of the King and Queen at Paddington, and the prisoner had been his barman since February last. Finding a diminution in his receipts, although he had had more beer in than usual, he came to the conclusion that he was being robbed, and accordingly took means to detect' the thief. 'Marked money was used for the purpose, and the prisoner was detected with 3s. 6d. in his waistcoat pocket. The prosecu tor had lost, he calculated, about £4O during four weeks that he had been laid up with illness. - The jury found the prisoner guilty, and a 'firmer conviction was proved against him. In August, 1856, he was convicted in this court of a like offence and sentenced to a m'onth's hard labour. Mr. Cooper then said he considered' it his duty o inform the court that there was no doubt the prisoner was in league and mixed up with a gang of persons who went about getting situations as barmen .by means of false characters, for the. sole purpose of robbing those who employed them. In this case the very person who gave the prisoner the character upon the strength of which Mr. Smith took him into his service, wrote to the prisoner, asking him to let him have as much money as he could, as he was about to take possession of another house, and wanted to pay the brewers. The prosecutor, on being called back into the witness box by the learned judge, said in answer to his lordship, that the person who gave him a. character for the prisoner was Mr. John Newman, who kept the Sun Tavern, in Gray's-inn-road, and now kept the Golden Lion, in Dean-street, Soho. In the prisoner's drawer. he found a letter from Newman, beginning " Dear Jim," asking for as much money as lie could lend him on Sunday, as he was going to take possession on Thursday, and had to pay the bmwer on Monday. The AssiStant-Jtidge—Had the prisoner been in his service ? Prosecutor—lie said so, and that he • had no fur ther need of his services, as his son, 16 years old, was coming home from school. The prisoner lived at the Eight Bells _at Greenwich, but was dis charged on suspicion of robbery, and it was New man who gave him his character for that situation. That was about a week before I took him into my service. I intend to prosecute Newzn'an for giving false cl:aractcrs. Mr. Ribton objected to the introduction of this matter. It was extraneous to the prisoner's case, and had reference to a contemplated charge against some other person. The Assistant-Judge said he thought it had a direct bearing on the case, as it tended to show that the prisoner was mixed up in a system of robbery by weans of false characters; and in this instance there was written proof of the person who had given the cLaracter by which the prisoner got this situation, asking the prisoner while in that situation to supply him with a loan of as much money as he could to enable him to pay his brewer. Where could he think that money would come from, the prisoner being but a barman ? It was clear that there was a system, and it must be stopped, so far as the court had the means of stopping it. The public at large were most deeply interested in pre- venting dishonest persons getting situations of trust by false characters, and as the prisoner had already had one conviction for the same sort of offence, the sentence was that he be kept in penal servitude for three years. Having perused the letters which the prosecutor had produced, the learned judge directed them to be returned, and told him they would be important evidence against the giver of the false character. Mr, Cooper said this Was a matter deeply affect ing the interests of the whole body of licensed victuallers of the metropolis. The prosecution was at the instance of the Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society. 111YSTERIOUS OCCURRENCE OJVTIIE NOR2II LONDON RAILWAY. Yesterday a very painful feeling was created throughout the northern districts of the m etropolis by a.rumour that a very mysterious crime had been committed on the previous night (Sunday) in a train, whilst running on the North London Rail way, and that the probability was that the victim had been pitched out of the carriage over the arches or into some ditch running along the em bankment of the line. It appears that in con sequence of- the immense traffic on the line on Sunday, extra trains had to be put on, and run left Fen wph:sethe-leven, did later than usual. The last train, terminus at Chalk not t rc r l e i a - s c t h r e e t h t e a b N o u o t r t t w h e minutesni,toyndn Farm till some few minutes before twelve, and it is stated that this train was by no means crowded w ith passengers. The porters, as usual, as soon as the passengers alighted, looked ca rriages to see that no into the various one was sleeping there, or that any property wasleftofbeahsienedo.ndspenlasospeeanr ing one of the compartments - riage for this purpose, one of the porters disco vered, by th e a id of his lantern, that it contained an immense p oo l of blood, described as amounting bloodtf for 1 . at th e W lc e a r s re t eta t ulo h rs r n ee quarts, and in the midst of th e foundjo urney two on thehalves inolfre. o railway tickets moretickets minute inspection of the carriage the blood was found smeare d a b ou t th e seat and sides; and be spattered over one of the carriage doors. The discovery was immediately made known to Mr. King, the superintendent, w h o , bearing in mind_ the circumstances connected with an outrage attempted robbery which, it w ill be and remembered,a took place on this line some months back, when a passenger was stabbed and seriously injured, was at first impressed with a notion that something similar had taken place, and that the party in jured had been pitched out on to the line. Under his direction, an inspector and several porters pro ceeded at once along the line from Chalk Farm up to Bow, making inquiries at every station, and minutely examining the embankments and other likely spots, with a view of ascertaining any traces of blood, or any circumstances likely to throw a light on the discovery. There was only one in stance of a passenger having lost his ticket, and that was a respectable -looking man who got out at Camden-road station, and who paid his fare. Neither of the porters or officials at any of the stations remembered having seen any male or female helped out at any of the stations they hadtationsi lostnsuch a s s t a te as would have indicated that quantity of blood. Yesterday morning the inquiries were renewed, and investigations and searches made along the whole line from Chalk Farm to Fenchurch-street, but without ascertaining anything calculated to elucidate a circumstance which, to say the least of it, is not only of a m os t mysterious but suspicious character.
