(Sittings at Westminster, before Lord Campbell and a Spc &al Jury.) COLLINS AND WIFE V. THE SOUTEI-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.—TIIE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT LEWIS- HAM. This was an accident brought by the plaintiff, a married man, 29 years of age, a boot•closer by trade, to recover damages from the defendants for the injuries be and his wife sustained on the night of the 28th June laNt, at Lewisham, through the neglect of the defendants' servants'. It appeared from the plaintiff's evidence, that he and his wife were in the middle compartment of a third-class carriage when the collision took place• The break van fell on the carriage, smashing him through the door, and compressing him between the wheels of the break-van and the wheels of the carriage. His wife was also caught by the foot, but no bones were broken. He was extricated about an hour and a hall after the accident, and it was a miracle he was not killed ; his wife was not extricated till about four hours after the accident. The plaintiff was removed to St. Thornas'e Hospital, where it was found his collar bone was smashed, four or five ribs broken, his chest, lungs, and abdomen seriously injured, and the flesh of the inside of his thigh dreadfully lacerated, a poi lion of the ancle being torn away. His life was considered in dan ger abcut a fortnight, and he remained in hospital 15 or 16 weeks. On leaving the hospital he called in his own medical man, and had not been able to work since. The wound in the thigh was not healed, and it was doubtful if it ever would. The injury to the shoulder was of a permanent character, and deprived him of free use. His wife still suffered from the iujury received in her foot. He had been put to a considerable expense, and was deprived of following his trade, at which, with the assistance of his wife, he earned, on an average, about 31. a week before the,accident. He had no children. He resided in Crown.street, Finsbury, and was the son of a miller at Northampton. Mr. Sergeant Shee, on the part of the defendants, addressed the jury in mitigation of damages. The com pany, he said, were ready to pay such amount of com pensation as the jury thought reasonable. Lord Campbell having summed up, The jury retired to consider their verdict. On their return they gave a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, 7801.: 6001. for the plaiotiff, 1001. for his wife, and 801. expenses. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Mr. Baron Martin and a Common Jury.) SENNETT V. CARDEN—TRESPASS. This was an action for trespass relative to the right to a piece of ground at Hendon, and not large enough, as one of the witnesses remarked, " to bury either cf them," of no interest but to the parties concerned. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) DI BE rEAREE. This bankrupt was described as of the Minories, oilman, and to-day was appointed for his last examina tion. „, K si i g n n g e 'sA ; rm and Mr. L ucas f or an opposing g 'Yard, Moorgate-st r eet, ar p e a M r erd. fores Dalton,the creditor,lbut it appeared that the accountant, Mr. Wiight, of Stratford, had not been able to complete the accounts, and an adjournment was taken to the Bth of April next. IN RR LYON SAISIURLS•-IMPRNDING INSANITY THROUGH IMPRISONMENT. This was an adjourned application by Mr. Sturgeon for the discharge of the bankrupt from custody, on the ground that a longer incarceration of the bankrupt, who had been committed for not answering satisfactorily the questions of the Court, might lead to a melancholy result. The case has been frequently before the Court, and the examinations have been principally directed to the ques tion as to whether the bankrupt had not secreted diamonds to a very large amount. Mr. Wakeman, the surgeon to the Queen's Bench Prison, gave evidence that in his opinion the bankrupt's health was gradually giving way, and that his mind was affected to some extent, and a much longer incarcera tion would in all probability result in his becoming of unsound mind. He drew his conclusion from many mi• winations, and from what he heard from other prisoners. Mr. Norton, for assignees, proceeded to cross-examine the witness, but his Honour said he did not think it ought to be interfered in—it was a _question for the Court, and on the evidence of Mr. Wakeman, he was perfectly satisfied that a longer detention in custody would be serious consequences to the bankrupt's health and state of mind ; and as the bankrupt had been merely committed for not giving satisfactory answers, perhaps, from delusions, he therefore should order the bank rupt's discharge under the circumstances, and adjourn the examination sine die, but on this motion he could not order his discharge from detainers at civil suits. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) MANSION-HOUSE. Henry Sh earman, a b oy 13 years of age, was b ro ught before th e L or d M ayor charged with steal i ng a pocket handkerchief from a gentleman's pocket in Tower-street this morning about half-past 11 o'clock. A. boy of th e name of White, police-cons t a bl e 515 A, and the gen tl eman from whose pocket the han dk erc hi e f was stolen, p rove d the case against the prisoner.

ROBBING AN EMP LOYBR.—J6seph Knowlder, a young man, was charged before Mr. Beadon this morning with stealing about 2ibs weight of brass cuttings, the property of his employer, William Tilbury, brass finisher, 81, Great Tichfield-street. The prosecutor said the prisoner had been in his employ about seven months. Yester d a y even i ng th e prisoner b a d b een . working later than usual, and, in conseque nce of Some information just before receivad, h e watched him from his workshop in Clevela n d M ews, Fitzroy-square, to Pall-mall, where he s t opped him and accused him of having in his posses s i on metal belonging to him. The prisoner, thus accused, sa id , " Well, I have, " and took out of his pocket the b rass cuttings now produced, which prose. cuter identifi e d as his property and gave him into custody. He m ust tell the magistrate that he suspected the prisoner was continually robbing him, but he did not wish his wo rs hi p to be severe with him. Prisoner, in answer, said he had always till this done his duty to his employer, and acted honestly. Mr. Beadon said by hie dishonest act he caused other persons who were honest to be suspected. If he thought he had acted so before he should deal very differently with him ; as it was, he should sentence him to one month in the House of Correction, with hard labour. ship- owners, --of 13E:We:dal:CI:egg, -------...

Thomas Slater, gate-keeper to the prosecutor, said that the prisoner was leaving their ship-building yard s h ip RUBBERY il der s BY d l s h l i V p °- with the bag under his arm, and ) 3 e asked him what he had in the bag, to which he replied " Nothing," and attempted to run away. He detained the prisoner, and found in the bag another bag containing a brass trundle. c a l t arge It had been stolen from the engine house on the premises, and was worth two guinea*. The prisoner said poverty tempted him to commit the robbery. He bad a wife at home and five small children. Heleft them at home in the morning cryingfor bread, and went in search of work, and could not get any. He had been out of work six weeks, and neither had fuel or food at home. • Mr. Yardley said that the prisoner had acted very foolishly and very wrongly, and he would not better the condition of his wife and children by being dragged away from them to a prison, and branded with the name of thief. Did the prisoner think of the disgrace he was bringing on himself, his wife and family when he c mi mitted the dishonest act?? He did not wish to add to the bitterness of the prisoner's feelings, but there was no doubt some time or other he bad hal good wages and should have been provident and put by for a rainy day. The prisoner would now fe_l it difficult to find employ ment again. He sentenced the p r i soner to two mouths ' imprisonment and hard labour.

" The Observing Eye Series"—are the words we find printed at the top of the title-page.. Aud " What may be The Observing Eye Series?" will ask the uninitiated. Briefly, but very ear nestly, we reply to that query—A series to wiiieh with our whole he: we wish a cordial Gothr eed. It is a series of little volumes written by a lady— the fruits of lectures delivered by her to a school of children, and those children, the poorest nurslings of charity, the human waifs and strays of society gathered together under the rcoftree of the first home they have ever known, and nurtured there, mindjand body, by Christian Benevolence. The first of these charming little volumes—designed originally by their gifted and genial-hearted authoress for the Poor Schools of the very poorest—has nevertheless I —thanks to the Observing Eye of our gracious Queen herself, found its way already into the hands of the Royal children. It consisted simply of a series of familiar letters, on an apparently . uninviti ng t op i c (f or th e m i n d s o f poor charsty childre n ) Lame l y, t h e t h ree dower d i visions of animal life—Radiated, Articulated, and Mollus cuous. Yet out of th's seemingly unpromising theme whit stores of interesting curiosities were j there not dragged to light by the magnetic point of j that keen and luminous pen—about Sponges, about Corals, about Star Fishes, about Worms, Insect , Lobster and Shell-maki ng Creatures! Ere, again, in another exquisite littl e vo l ume, embellished with a profusion of illustrative woodcuts like its predecessor, is a companion book relatin g to all that is alluring in Ornithology. ''Wh p at is a Bird?" asks Mrs. John Wright of the poor School Children. And in her ready answer to her own inquiry, she tells them of the forms of bards, of their instincts, and of their use in Creation. Nothing Tossibly can be more winning than the style in which our authoress conveys her meaning to her hearers in the first instance, and now that her MSS. have been transferred by the ronpositors' skill into goodly specimens of typography to her readers— to be counted in time, we hope and believe, by thousands upon thousands. The first pecu liarities of birds on which Mrs. Wright expa tiates are the beak and the wings, the claws, the breast-bone, and the merry thought. Afterwards she groups them into the five principal divisi Birds of the Air, as eagles, hawks, owls, and vul tures ; Birds of the Trees, as rooks, sparrows, finches, and black-birds; Birds of the Ground, as game and poultry; Birds of the Mud, otherwise waders, as herons, snipes, and flamingoes ; and, finally, Birds of the Water, otl er kvise swimmers, or rather floaters, as the soft-beaked, web-f icte ! duck, swan, gull, and albatross. Then comes her delightful disquisition upon a problem, with the attempted solution of which one of the greatest intellects now living once deligl t Al itself—the pro blem of the liue dividing Instinct from Re ...son, upon the drawing of which subtle line of demar cation Lord Brougham boldly adventured. Where, we should like to know, are the school urchin who would not greedily drink in the wonders which are next related by this dear friend of school-boys and school-girls in regard to birds' nests and the eggs inside them ? The basket-work nests, the nests lined with woven hair and wool, the pendant nests, the flat nests, the mud nests—here they all are clustered thickly among the leaves of tbis wise and entertaining volume—as thickly as in the hedge rows at February ! Then the eggs—warm and cosy as in the nests, not strung together brittle and empty upon the robber's straw ! What a parti coloured heap of bfauty they make to be sure— here sprinkled over these graceful pages ! The pure white egg of the owl, of the kingfisher, of the sand-maetin, of the woodpecker. The greenish eggs picked over with brown, of the 'pies, of the crows, of the ravens. The greyish, bluish, rreenish, yellowish eggs of the waders. The speckled eggs of the perching birds in all their infinite varieties. Why, the book in truth is, for little children, as charming as a fairy tale, and as instructive as a treatise upon natural philosophy. The Morals of Mayfair. A Novel. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. This is in some respects a peculiar story ; while dwelling on the gaudy and glittering details of fashionable life, we are made sensible of an under current of feeling of a very different class to ti at whiA is uppermost. The chronicles of these cad careers are narrated by one who admires not the existence he so eloquently describes, and who has perceived the dross and alloy that so deteriorate and itetract from the beauty and excellence that sparkles in the scenes emphatically denominated the world. Philip Earnsclitte is a character tha. is very ably drawn iu its light and shade, its bright-` ness and its blackness. He was rarely endowed by Fortune, and singularly gifted by Genius ; but these glorious donations of heaven and earth were worse than valueless to one who neglected to use them aright. It is true, in his defence, that he was unfortunately situated in some things ; but still he did not listen to the warnings of his conscience, in an important and eventful crisis. By this fatal blunder he cast a blight over the existence of one whom he idolised, and left for himself through the long vista of the years of the future " the bitterness of remorse." The truths so forcitsly enunciated, the sufferings described in such glowing language, mule striking by their likeness to truth and nature, might well deer the trilling and. reckless from their precipitous paths. Had Philip possessed better advisers, or not been surrounded by such a set, he might have become a noble and exalted character. He required influence to direct him ; his was not that intrinsic worth which can stand alone, which comes out the brighter from the cloud, the purer from its contact with temptation. Marguerite is a sweet disposition, but her nature also needed strength. She hal a disadvantage of a contrary sort to that of Philip to contend with in her education. It was too limited in scope, and she did not tee enough of the world. Her father should not have reared in such complete solitude a gentle young creature who would here after have to mix in the strife and struggle of a dangerous scene. The two beings whom au adverse fate threw together too early or tco late never ap pear before us to such advantage as when wander ing in th.. , wilds of Brittany. Something really good in Philip, despite his errors, seemed to be in unison with the majesty of Nature's solitudes, and the superior taste of Marguerite vindicated itself in spite of her unschooled mind and provincial retire ment, in her immediate recognition of her guest's qualities, and her appreciation of his worth. It is sad to reflect that this smiling episode in their lives was short as the gleam of the short-lived summer which is followed by the long winter of tie north. The succeeding passages are descril ed with great skill ; if they are displeasing in some parts; they are but too likely to be the conse quence if ignorance such as Marguerite's, and of selfishness such as Philip's. Many persons flit before the reader in this episode of a fashionable existence, who are all shadowed forth in an impressive wan ner ; and therefore this work will attract notice, inasmuch as it contains some graphic details of life in many of its most notable phases ; it bears a re cord of some of the most powerful passions that cair affect humanity, and it may satisfy the scrupulous by its gloomy finality, wherein wo behold the he roine consigned, in the flower of youth and beauty, to an untimely grave, and the hero, in the prime of manhood, heedless of his high position in the world, unmindful of his splendid talents, from the want of a guiding principle of right, whose vital and saving influence would have imparted strength to the fainting spirit of the lovely girl, and shed beauty on the darkened path of the sufiermg man. .......—. Estimates of some E)iglishmen, and Seotchmen, By Walter Bagehot. Chapman and Hall. - This volume consists of a series of critical and biographical essays, chi‘fly reprinted from the National Review, a quarterly that has frequently been distinguished by the abilit y of its articles. The contents of the work before us do not detract from its character. They display an exten s i ve acquaintance with modern literature, consid e r a bl e power of style, and generally speaking :sense and moderation. The su b je cts are a t tractive. They inclade the names of Cowper, Gibbon, Butler, with ' l '' e the a - Shelley, Hartley Coleridge, and even Sha I rt , regard , d as an individual, commencing first Edinburgh reviewers and closing with Sir R. Peel and Mr. Macaulay. As a critic, the auth t r i s fair and unprejudiced asalatltwriter his style i s c l ear and able.

P ar t ; 5 and 6. Blackie and - Son. Edinburgh. This is a valuable and interesting work, and when completed will r an k hi g h among th e i ns t ruc - Oro histories of England. It endeavour,: to give not merely the military and dynastic history of Great'Britain, but to trace its civil, religious, in tellectual, and so dal progress, from an epodi of which little is generally known but the succession of kings and the feats of the sword. It is written in a clear and interesting style, and embellished with a great number of engravings. As a full and compendious history is always far Intro interesting las well ai more impressive than au tpitoine, we trust this publication will obtain a circulation that ! will coml.:iris:Ate tho spirited condoctm for the labour area expmse it must have invoired. --- Duli!in.—TlE, first subjeit m't with is the new story entitled " Gila! F tzgxalsl." It promisel to equal the other works by its author. Some rays' ery hangs over the youth, who will doubtless be the hero of many adventures in the future. " Brialmout 's D u k e o f Wellington " is an'entertain ing paper on a new work by a Belgian officer, con qin of th e age. Th e writer of corning the Great C a pt ell h as h e k ept the juste the wok asserts that so v p milieu in expressing his opinion, that. in France he has been named as too fay,. urable, and in England as too unfavourable, to the merits of his subject. It is mentioned that Mr Brialmont has committed anextratealinary error in regard to the English per sons of celebrity with whom he has had to deal ; he has confused titles and mistaken men, and finally invented a personage altogether, "Charles O'Malley," who figures in his pages as a grave au thority. All readers will regard with peculiar in tere-t the brief sketch given of Henry HaveTock of Lucktiow. Apart from the consideration awarded to those whose autographs are inscribed in the book of immortality, deeper feelings are awakened, and nobler sympathies aroused as we peruse this record. It is written throughout in a suitahlestyle, and is animated with a true spirit of appreciation of the h?ro's deeds, and a desire to render its meed of approval to deserving merit. It is said, in con clusion, that "it matters not that his body lies where the sepoy's foot makes a trail in the soil ; we would not erect a costly mausoleum over so un ostentatious a spirit. He sleeps best in the warrior's bed, without any merely artificial honours sur rounding him." The verses on the "Highlanders by the Well at Cawnpore" are well executed ; they are the production of one who feels the full depth of the calamity that there occurred, and at the same time truly describes the thoughts of the be holders, that by such graves there should be no idle :mourners, but, having gazed, they should rise to vengeance. " Vittoria Colonna" is a ,sketeh concerning a lady renowned for her talents. - Durir g the last ten years of her life she formed a friendship with Michael Angelo, who speaks of her in enthu siastic terms. He mentions, in a sonnet, that Vit toria embodied those ideas that all his life long he had b. en labouring to express. " The. Castle of Dublin" is continued, and the records are brought down to the year 1603. "Photographs for our Bibles" is an article containing some suggestions concerning the Scriptures that are forcible and interesting. Some remarks are made on the " I\l`Clure Discovery" which are judicious in their t ,ne, and various other subjects of interest com plete the costents. The Law Magazine and Law Review. Butter worth.—This valuable legal quarterly presents to all interested in the study, pursuit, or amendment of the law, its usual comprehensive crifcism on the legal points of note which have occueit d public at tention during the quart-r, and a full and complete record of events and alterations. It opens with the two first lectures of the course delivered in the Inner Temple Hall, at the commencement of last Miehaelmas Term, offering to students a useful ouiline of their proposed profession. Les Parlements de France" is the title of the second article, founded on a recent French work, full of interest for the general reader as well as for those who search and inquire into the rise and progress of cDnstituf ons and governments. "Lord Brougham's Acts and Bills," recently published in one goodly volume, receive the tribute due to the writings, energy, and public spirit that prompted them. "If we would judge of the qualiications ir_cessary to constitute a law-reformer, the means of so doing is afforded by the volume of Lord Brougham's Acts and Bills lying on our table. Never before, so far as we are aware, have the fruits of a life devoted to the accomplishment of unselfish ends been, in the mode now adopted, presented to the public ; never before, most assuredly, have re sults SO beneficial as those which are now exhibited crowned the efforts of an individual ; nor can a monument to a great philanthropist more worthily be raised than by thus collecting together the re sults which he has achieved, and showing for how very much the community at large has to be thank ful to him." An article on "Previsions of the Coming Ses--ion" points out the difficulties that lie before the How es of Parliament to consider and decide upon. Serjeant Stephen's "New Com mentaries on the Laws of England'' receive a favour able notice. Papers on the " French Law of Pro perty," and " Recollections of the Munster Bar," will interest the non-legal reader, while the lawyer will find some important precedents in the " Points determined in the Courts of Common Law." The New Quarterly Review. —This review is writ ten with much ability and judgment, and by a judicious selection of subjects and extracts it con trives to offer something attractive to most classes of readers. History, biography, metaphysics, poli tics, fiction, and army reform, all find a place in this number, and are all treated in their varying styles with interest and talent. Of course, much difference of opinion must always exist upon such topics, but it is not always disagreeable to read our opponents' arguments and impressions, when they are stated fairly, and without prejudice. As this review has reached its twenty-fifth number, it may be considered to have fairly established itself in the world of serials. The Eclectic Review—This review, notwithstaud. ing its peculiar tenets, has generally something to attract the general reader of literary tastes. It is specially suited to those who like a thoughtful and careful revision of subjects in preference to more brilliant and superficial style. The number for the current month has an article on the French revolution of 1848, founded on Lord Normanby's volume. Professor's Fleming's works on natural history furnish the topic for the following paper, which gives, iu addition to a criticism on his books, au interesting b , ketch of his life and labcurs. It was Dr. Flemings great regret that natural history does not occupy a higher place in general educa tion. The critic in concluding his summary of the Professor's life and labours styles him "Scotland's greatest naturalist." The numerous readers of Grace Aguilar's pathetic and feminine writings will peruse with pleasure an article upon her, though if it were less employed in the discussion of her pe culiar opinions it would be more attractive. The Brazilian empire is the subject of an interesting paper, which gives some entertaining sketches of Brazilian customs and character. The review of the progress of science during the past year and the usual quarterly retrospect of events and literature ccinclude the number. Titan. —This serial contains a considerable va riety of pleasant and entertaining reading. It gives us the first instalment of a domestic tale, entitled " Which? or eddies round the rectory." A paper on French romance remarks with much satisfaction upon the reaction at present taking place in France against the tone of literature. A curious and amusing paper on the Characteristics of National Proverbs, traces the idicsnycrasies of nations in their idiom=, arid it is singular to find how much analogy may sometimes be traced between them. " Scientific Summarits" on the future of Aus tralia and on North America, are follimed by $ paper of comic adventures, which in its turn pre cedes an essay on art and science abroad. " Old Letters" from notabilities of bygone days °Fes attractions to the curious, and some of the poetical contributions are not without merit. Numerous extracts from the books recently published show the style and character of the works, and afford a pleasant variety of thought and information to the reader. MARKET NEWS. --(This Day.)
