N 031711 STAPPORDSZIRE. The Committee cn the three branches of this line met vain shortly after eleven o'clock in Room B (New Houses of Parliament). The Duke of Cleveland again took the chair. Their Lordships were all present. Mr. TALBOT, in answer to a question from the Chairman, said that a clause had been drawn up which, he thought, would meet the views of the petitioner (Sir Henry Every), and would meet the approbation of the Committee. Mr. Parke., the Parliamentary agent, was called to give certain formal evidence. The evidence of Mr. Bidder was then proceeded with. It contained no point of interest beyond those contained in Mr. Talbot's address, of which a full report was given in The Sun of yesterday (Friday). Mr. YALBO T then read the clause above referred to, which was to the effect that " nothing in this Act contained shall authorise or enable the said Company to purchase or take of any property belonging to Sir Henry Every, in the parish Eckington, without the consent in writing previously had and obtained of the said Sir H. Every, or his heirs," &c. Mr. Sergeant ALLEN objected to the use of the words " in the parish of Eckingron," which he said would not restrict the Company from taking that part of the property which was situated in the parish of Etwall, adjoining the parish of Eckington. lie therefore proposed the substitution of the words " in the county of Derby." Mr. Bidder said that there were no powers iu the Act to take property in the parish of Etwall. Mr. TALBOT very strongly objected to the alteration, and a long discussion ensued, which ended in the adoption of the clause with the alteration proposed by Mr. Sergeant Allen. Mr. TALBOT then proposed a cla u s e to refer the question as to Mr. Cartwright's property to ar bitrators, which Mr. FLUND expressed himselfprepared to accept with some alteration. . a lteration and a long discus- Mr. TAL BOT o bj ec t e d to tl2 Sion ensued, which ended in the room being cleared. In about a quarte r o f an h our we were re - a d m itt e d, a 4 The CHAritstax said, that the Committeee had resolved upon a clause by w hi c h they thought both parties Would be satisfied. Mr. FLu.rn, however, was not satisfied, and as the parties could not agree, The Committee ordered Mr. Flund to proceed with his case. Mr. FLUND said that before opening the case as to the injury to his clients he had to raise a very grave objection, which would be fatal to the further progress of the Bill. It was this: there was no estimate for the littoxeter and Stoke npon-Trent Branch, whi c h diverged from the Churnet Valley line. Mr...kusnx—A mere standing order objection. Mr. PAaKEs--It was disposed standing the Standing Orders' Committee, and they declared the orders complied With. 31r. FL CND continued—He would call their Lordship? attention to the 14th section of the 233 d Standing Order " for the consideration of Committees on Bills," in which they were directed to report the am Junt of the estimate for each branch, and wh.thar they wer. , of opinion that they ,tre sum , teut. No w , not on l y wa , there no special estima:e far this branch, but he could prove that the estimate for th , Bill was only suffi ient f.,r the main line (the Churroet Valley and could nor, therefore, he said to include the branch. Mr. At7, , ribt was ai.,ut to reply, but The 01.1MMAN stated, that if Mr, Flund had any wit nesses to call, he ouecit to call theta before Mr. Austin replied. Mr. Ft.ren then called Mr. Hopkins, civil engineer, who said that the estimate for the Churriet Valley line was barely sufficient fir that line, and could nut include the Ut - ox branch. He believed that it wa., as an estimate for the main line, and that the branch wa- omitted from the cal culations. The branch could not be made within the esti mate. He was cross-examined by Mr. AUSTIN, who endeavoured to show that he (Hr. Hopkia.) was incompetent to make the calculations. The Committee, without calling on Mr. Austin to reply, ordered the room to be cleared. We were re-admitted in a few minutes, and The CHAIRMAN said—The Committee are of opinion that the 14th section of the 233 d Standing Order is complied with. RAILWAYS. Select Committee on Group No. 48. Dr. Bowring discharged. Select Committee on Group No. 68. Mr. Roebuck discharged, Dr. Bowring selected, and ap pointed Chairman of the Committee. Mr. Fr.t.rxp then said, that after the decision of the Com• mittee, it would be absurd for him to attempt to oppose the passing of the Bill, and to say that this important district should not have railway accommodation. Neither would he set up a case that there might be a better line wade. In short, his case was now one of compensation. Mr. ACSTIN expressed his willingness to insert the same Clause which he had previously offered, by which the case should be referred to arbitration. The CHAIMIAN-Why there are but two courses left—to refer it to arbitrators or to a jury. No clause was ne ceaary. An agreement was then made between the parties, to the effect that the matter should be referred. Some other clauses were adjusted, and the Bills were passed. Their Lordships then finally rose. GAUGE OF RAILWAYS. Sir George Clerk has given notice of motion, Tueyday, the 16th of June, he will move the adopC recommendations contained in the minute of the Trade of the 6th day of June. 1846, on report of sioners for inquiring into the Gauge of Railways:— 1. That no lin e shall her-tatter be formed on any other than the four feet eight and a half inch gauge, excepting lines to the south of the existing line from London to Bristol, and excepting small brstiches of a few miles in length, in imm , diate connexion with the Great Weatern R railway ; but that no such line as above excepted shall be sanctioned by Paniatnont, unless a special report shall have been made by the Committee on the Bill, setting f.rth the reasons which have lzd time Cm mminee to advise that such line shon1:1 be funned on any other than the four feet eight and a half inch gauge. 2. That, unless by the consent of the Legislature, it shall not be permitted to the directors of any railway company to alter the gauge of such railway. 3. That, hi order to c , mple'e the general chain of narrow gauge communication from the north of England to the southern coasts, and to the port of Bristol, any suitable measures should be promoted to form a narrow gauge link from Gloucester to Bristol, and also from Oxford to Ba-ing stoke, or by any shorter route connecting the proposed Rugby and Oxford line with the South-Western Railway. 4. That the South Wales line, and its branches to Mon mouth and Hereford, should be permitted to be formed on the broad gauge, as sanctioned by their Act. 5. That the Rugby and Oxford line, and the Oxford, Wor cester, and Wolverhampton line, should be permitted to be formed on the broad gauge, as sanctioned by their Acts : that the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade shall exercise the powers conferred upon them by the several Acts, and shall req u i re th at add i tional narrow gauge rails shall forthwith be laid down from Rugby to Oxford, and from Wolverhampt on t o t h e j unct i on with the Birmingham and Gloucester line; and that if it should hereafter appear that there is a traffi c requ i r i ng accommodation on the narrow gauge from the Staffordshire districts to the southern coast, any suitable measure shall be promoted by Parliament to form a narrow gauge link from Oxford to the line of the Birmingham and Gloucester Railway. 1.101.:SE OF COMMONS. GROUP XVII. TIANC WESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON AND RAMSEY AND REDBRXDGE BRANCH amnia WHSTERN). The Committee met this morning at the usual hour. Mr. HOPE continued his cross-examination of Mr. Cope, iv the gentleman employed to take the traffic of the line, with en, respect to the mode in which he obtained the returns which he handed in, and was examined at some length upon yester day. He detailed the various items and the sources from whence he derived them, and explained that he had in his Jun , estimate doubled the traffic, a course which he was perfectly justified in adopting with respect to this line, as the fact had been so frequently realised on established lines —on the Manchester and Birmingham, for instance. Those whom he employed for the purpose of collecting the traffic were persons used to the employment. They were placed at v.arious stations in the course of the line, each station being under the superintendence of a clerk well versed in his vocation. The witness was also examined by Sir T. PHILLIPS on the same points, and the Committee rose at three o'clock. STAI.VRIXG ORDERS' COMMITTEES. HOUSE OF LORDS. Lord Shaftesbury was the only member present at one o'clock, the hour appointed for the meeting ut the Committee on their adjourning last evening. There were but five Bills on the list, and the decisions were as follows : NORFOLK (DEREILUI, WELLS, AND BLAKENEY EXTENSION). Standing orders complied with. LONDON AND SOUTH-IVES I'ERN (HAMPTON COURT LONDON AND SOU rti WES BR TERN ANCH). (CHERTSEY AND EGHANI BR NNCH). These two Bills, which stood ov..r trom a former day, in consequence of the absence of a witness, were again called on to-day, and, the proofs heing completed, they were passed. EAST OF FIFE. This case stood over on account o the formal evidence. deficiency of some that on ion of the Board of Commis- CAMBRIDGE AND OXFORD. This Bill was pasted. It is, perhaps, hardly necessary to observe, that in each of these five decisions the Committee was unanimous. His Lordship having resolved hims.lt into a Select Committee on merits, proceeded with the case of the East Lincolnshire Railway, the only Bill on the list. It was unopposed, and after some formal evidence had been given it was passed. The Committee adjourned at half•past two. NAME OF RAILWAY. Last week. .6 gll • 2 2; 43 SHROPSHIRE MINER AL RAIL- Y. bPECAL ME TING. A meeting of WA ho I the sharelders of t he Shropshire Mineral Railway w as h e ld on Saturday at the London Tavern, in order to receive a report of the committee appointed by the share holders at the general meeting of the Company; held on the 20th of February, 1846. The chair was taken at one o'clock precisely by Alderman Copeland. The CHAIRMAN then called upon Mr. Wilkinson to read the report. The report charges matter of such a grave and serious nature against certain gentlemen. that we will abstain from mentioning names, and confine ourselves to stating a few of the facts as they are set forth in the rep irt. A sum of 21,000/. was spent in the purchase of eb sres, drawn by cheques on the share holders' money, and that by parties members of the finance committee. It appeared that there were no less than eleven members of the committee of management who never paid upon a single share. The committee also discovered that in two instances blank cheques were torn from the cheque book, and no memorandum was entered on the counterfoil. It was found out that one of them, for 7,0001., was afterwards filled up, and that the name of Mr. Alder man Johnson, of Derby, was forged to it as the party in whose favour it was drawn. As far as the Committee were able to discover, it appeared that the purchase of shares commenced in the month of October. The shares were bought at P i ; premium, and in two days, the 15th and 1 6th of October, 1,083/. 15s. was spent, makin g , u p t o to the 28th o f last month, with the purchases made by other 'nonenithbeeracits ofutohfeoeCommittee of Managment, a sum of ,3904 in the purchase of tober a further sum of 7,8311. was invested cheater brokers. There through the medium of two Man for travellin g e x . Was also a sum of 651. 15s. charged rred during the above operations.

The report went on to say, th at aft Tog/ be difficulty they succeeded in getting back the 4 ,800 shares,in volved in the outlay cif the 18,0001., whiche the committ ee considered would be a great advantage to thCo a mi ( jany. A resolution, adopting the report, was passed, and The CHAIRMAN stated that the persons connectedlow with the abstr ac ti on o f t h e mone y we re bound in A and equity to refund it, and if th e y did no t do so voluntarily, they would be forced to do so. They had taken eminent legal ad vice upon the question, and they were assured that the whole of it should be paid back ; and that if A or B were not able io do so, C or D should. The meeting then resolved itself into a general meeting ol the subscribers; Sergeant Adams in the chair. The CHAIRMAN, who was wholly disennuected with the previous transactions, then addrei4ed the meeting, and after having adverted to the painful position in which he was placed, by being Chairman of a Company where such improper conduct had been pursued, read a number of resolutions to the meeting, the effect of which were to wind up the concern and to take legal and criminal p ro . ceedings against the guilty parties. Votes of thanks were then passed to Sergeant Adams and Alderman Copeland, and the meeting adjaurned. I4IT OF PRINCE ALBERT To LIVERPO -,L.—Prepa rations on a most extensive iti_d magnificent scale are proceeding With 1R Liverpool for the reception of Prince Albert, on the ccca- Bien of his Royal Highness's visit to that important port, to lay the foundation stone of tke benevolent inaLitution to be called "The Sailor's Home." The beautiful marine scenery on the banks of the 31er- Bey will no doubt elicit the admiration of his Royal Highness, and it is anticipated that he will avail himself of the opportunity afforded him of viewing the new town and part of Birkenhead and the fine scenery from Waterloo Crosby.

No suc h clause would be necessary if the whole digest were com. pleted. The following are examples of the offences to which the above, provision is intended to appl y , v i z., tnason in shooting at the Queen, the offence of siriking a judge whilst in the execution of his OIECe: &C. The following is the second report ro the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty, in her High Court of Chan cery," of the Criminal Law Commissioners:— We, your Majesty's Commissioners, appointed by your Majesty's commission, bearing date the 22d day of February, in the Bth year of your Majesty's, reign, in presenting our second report to your Majesty, humbly beg to observe that by the orginal com mission issued by his late Majesty, certain Commis sioners therein named wt re required " to digest into one statute all the statutes and enactments touching crimes, and the trial and punishment thereof ; and also to digest into one other statute all the provisions of the common or unwritten law touching the same, and to in • quire and report how far it may be expedient to combine both those statutes into one body of the criminal law, repealing all other statutory provisions ; how far it may be expedient to pass into a law the first mentioned only of the said statutes, and generally to inquire and report how far it may be expedient to consolidate the other branches of the existing statute law, or any of them." The former commission having expired upon the demise of the Crown, your Majesty was graciously pleased to issue a new commission in the same terms as that issued by his late Majesty. Under these two commissions the Commissioners, having considered the matters referred to them, gave their opinion in favour of the utility of framing a digest of the criminal law, and stated various arguments in support of their views on the subject. They also pre sented a complete digest of the criminal law. In frem ing this digest the Commissione rs , in several insta nces , judged it exp e di en t not to present the existing provisions of the law, but certain modifications thereof, of which they deemed the advantage to be manifest. And they, moreover, suggested various other modifications of the existing law, which they thought were proper to be made, but which they did not think fit to introduce into their digest, on account of the limited nature of their authority. Your present Commissioners have proceeded to exe cute the enlarged powers of the present commission, by which they are directed not simply to digest the law in its present state, but, also, in consolidating its provisions, to put into a form suitable for being passed by the Le gislature such modifications of the actual law as they judge expedient to submit for the adoption of Par liament. They entirely agree with the Commissioners acting under the preceding commissions in their opinion re garding the importance of framing a digest of the crimi nal law. The propriety of rendering that law more ac cessible to the community, they think, cannot admit of doubt. An ascertained text will also afford more easy means of future alteration, whereby the inconveniences of the law may be rectified, and it may be adapted to meet new circumstances and exieencies, with out impairing the utzifortnity of the sj vein. As to which point it is observable, that a great num ber of the definitions and punishm its of offences has te. en enacted in statutes, passed at cliff-rent ds, without due regard to •he geoen4l principles o , the lee, or the consisteney of perticular oro%isione. It ie eon ceived, ale., that juliciel inagistrae e will be greedy as-isted by havin.: an authentic d -ys emetic x the liw to which they can refer, th in the app: .c tien of it to particul zr cues, c nsiderstile so .pe zoo-; alw.zys rem tin fer t e exercise ~e ,jud: 2 .11014 ptiil Caplet a tory exites.rioe ( is new the case), by those entro,i , with its adiiiiiistratien. With re sheet to the mo,ie ire which future additions to and alterat, ne of the lzw mite be male, your Coinieissieeers concur in op i.. 0 is ith the preceding Commissioners, that it would be desirabie that eueh alterati .ns and additions should be notified to the public by in, aria of the Gazate. or some other official .l current, and that at the cud of some fix d period. e. y., three years they should, b y t h e authority Parliament, be embodied in the digest. On this sub ject, however, and that, generally, of the utility of a digest of the criminal law, your Commissioners beg to refer more particularly to the reports of the preceding Cemmissioners. Your Commissioners concur in general with the mo difications of the existing law adopted or suggested by I the preceding Commissioners ; they think, also, that some further modifications are essential, in order to render the criminal law of the country suitable to the present state of society, and conformable to enlightened principles of jurisprudence. A simple digest of the actual law without may modification, would, they appre hend, exhibit many imperfections, which, it cannot be doubted, it must be thought highly expedient to remove. Without adverting to all the defects in various branches of the existing law, or anticipating at length what Hill be more particularly considered in the course of this re port, it must surely be deemed expedient to modify several of the present provisions of the law concerning accessories after the fact—the justifications and extenua tions of homicide—the protection of officers of law whilst engaged in the execution of warrants or other legal pro cess,—maritime coercion,—the punishment of accidental injuries without reference to the intention of the proba ble consequences of actions,--that relic of barbarism, the law of mayhem,—besides several other existing pro visions, of whieh modifications are submitted to the pre sent report. On some matters, though we do not feel entire confi dence in our recommendations, we conceive that advan tage may arise from submitting enactments founded on our opinions, the rejection of which, if unapproved of. will not be attended with any material delay or incon venience; and the task of reducing into a statutory form the will of the Legislature, when it is ascertained, as regards any alterations, cannot occupy considerable time. Of matters of this latter description, the new pro visions submitted by your Commissioners on the law re garding duels are offered with great hesitation. not se much on account of doubts entertained by the Commis sionPrs, as because it is a subject deeply affecting the in terests of society, and upon which public opinion is much divided. As the modifications of the existing law proposed by the firmer and your present Commission( rs occasionally affect principles of the deepest importance and most ex tensive influence, their consideration has necessarily occasioned much research and consultation, and has con sumed much longer time than if the labours of your Commissioners had been confined simply to forming a digest of statutes, the principles laid down in text writers of authority, and the decision s applicab.e to 11. e subjects treated of in the present report. In their pre , erit report, t our Coinuds,ieners humid . ) submit to your Majesty the daft of a Bid, framed w s shape to be passed by the Legis:ature, ter the purp of consolidutieg all the provisions of law as moditi.-d 5' your i!omna.ssion, rs regarding the general in 'Vete tr,a , fd of in the preliminary chape r of the schedule re that Bill, amid the definitiens and punishments of the offence of homicide arid other offences against the Iperson. To particular articles of the schedule notes are append e d, i n di cat i ng where the existing law has been medified. and the nature of the particular modification ; and the Bill and the schedule, without notes, are again given its the appendix. Where the subjects to ; velich the articles relate, have been discussed by the previous Commissioners, references have been given to the reports in which those discussions are contained ; and %here it has been thought necessary, the sentiments of the present Commissioners, in reference to the pro / posed teodifications e have been expressed. I Although your Commiisiuners have lost no time in submitting this portion of their labours to your Majesty, and have, in pursuance of the authority under which they act, framed the draft of the Bill now sub mitted to your Majesty, they submit that it will not be expedient to pass such Bill into a law before the whole digest is completed. For it is obsious that, in order to secure entire uniformity of principle and ar• rangement, it is very exp dient that the Commissioners should have examined the whole subject as well the part relating to procedure as that regarding the substantive law. Much of useful generalisation may thus also be effected, tending materially to render the digest more accessible and intelligible. It can scarcely fail to happen that any one chapter of the digest may be rendered more precise and unobjectionabl e in ever respect after the Commissioners shall have diligently scrutinised and reduced into proper articles all the other chapters ; and until the view of the Commissioners, with reference to the mutual dependency of the several chapters and their general arrangement, shall be fully developed by the completion of the work, it is very probable that erroneous judgments may be formed of the practical operation and sufficiency of detached parts.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. ADMIRALTY COURI, June 12. ( Before Dr. Lusimrrox.) THE SIRIUS.—COLLISION. The Court was aided in this case by Captain Nelson and Cantain Ferrer, from the Trinity House, nautical skill being required to settle the points of navigation in dispute. The owners of the schooner Deft were the parties proceeding against the Sirius steamer, the former vessel having been run into on the 14th November last, being struck on the larboard quarter, cut down to the water's edge, and soon afterwards sunk in deep water. The collision took place off the Gull Light, and the Deft sark in ten fathoms water, off Walmer Castle. The lost vessel was proceeding to Caen, in France, with coals, and the Sirius, of 412 tons, with two engines of 140-h orse power, was bound from Cork to Plymouth, with a gener a l cargo. The case was con ducted by plea and proof. It was pleaded that the Deft was sailing, at the time of the collision, with the wind at N. W. by W. The Sirius had the wind N.E. to N.Y.E., and as soon as possi%le, after the vessels neared each other,_ the steamer's eiigin es were stopped, and her helm ported. The c•ew of the lost vessel were e.rved by a ship called the Mary ; the steamer having pursued her course, as there was no appearance of any serious damage having been done to the Deft. The night was bright and the wea ther moderate. The material averment against the Sirius was, that counter orders were given—firsr, that the helm was ordered a s , arbo O rd ; next, to port ; then to starb again ; then hard ; atierwauls " hant a-s ;a board," tx,:. The value of the Deft was stated at 6741. Drs.

The Cour, very much regretted it had to speak strongly upon the conduct of the steamer. The persons on board the Sirius, it was proved, heard the hailing after the collision took place, and they ought not to have taken it for gnitted, as a matter on trust, that the ship had not suffered injury. It was her bounden duty, and in accordance with the pi inciplea of humanity, to stop to render assistance. Much was it to be hmoded that such en obvious duty bad been negketed.

(Sittings in Banco.) EADON v. BRANSON. This was a demurrer by the defendant in an action for the recovery of a sum of money, paid by the plaintiff for the de fendant, for a number of railway shares, the defencant con tending by his pleas that the plaintiff was not entitled to re cover the amount, inasmuch as the shares the plaintiff bad paid fur for him were in railway compiles that had not ob tained certificates of complete registration, which was neces sary to make the transaction legal. Mr. PASHLEY, whe appeared to support the demurrer, argued that the decision of the Court of Exchequer in Young V. Smith, was not correct, and asked this Court to come to a different decision. Mr. MARTIN, Q.C., whe appeared for the plaintiff, cm tended that it did not appear from the defendant's pleas that the companies in which the defendant had been trafficking had not obtained certificates of complete registration, and when it was sought to get rid of a responsibility upon such grounds as those urged by the defendant, it was necessary to state it particularly upon the record. But he would apply himself to what he conceived to be the lettitimate question the defeadaiit sought by this demurrer to bring before t:ie Court. The Learned Counsel then went on to argue the ; various sections in the Joint-stock Companies Act, and contended that it was quite immaterial whether the c:anp4- nies had obtained certificates of registration to entitle the plaintiff to recover in this action, that the Court of Exche quer, in Young v. Smith, had properly construed the meaning of the Legislature, and the law as it tLen stood was correct, and that if it was otherwise, ail the saes of scrip and every scrip transaction would be decided to be illegal.

(Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK.) SMITH V. JUNG. The plaintiff in this action is a builder in T. , nle:F-court, Carey-street, and the de;e..daitt is a baker in Nlar.borough road, Chelsea. The plaintiff's demand was for 131. 16.5. for wet k and labour. On the part of the plaintiff it was shown that an agreement had been entered into between the parties that the plaintiff should do certain work for the sum of 504 but that the de fendant wished alterations to be made from the original plan, for which the plaintiff charged 91. 18s. It was admitted that 461. 28. had been paid on ac count, and that a small portion of the work was left unfinished, the defendant having met other perso,:s on the job ; this portion of the work, however, was es;imated at eighteenpence only. On the contrary, it was contended that the defendant was bound to lay- out 501. on the house, and plaintiff knew it, and agreed to do the whole of the work for that sum ; and, in fact, it was not worth more. and that, having been paid a part, plaintiff agreed to take the rest out in goods. Nineteen shillings was paid for the work left unfinished, and money was advanced to plaintiff to pay the surveyor, and bread supplied to his men beyond the amount of 501. The Learned JUDGE said the case depended almost en tirely on the memory of the witnesses on each side. It was a great pity that tradesmen entering into such agreements did not reduce them into writing. The jury gave a verdict for the defendant. COURT OF BA KRUP IVY, June 13. Before Mr. Commissioner Fuxin ANQUE). E IN RE HARLOW. This bankrupt, who had carried on an extensive business as a tobacconist and cigar dealer, came up to pass his last examination. He was supported by Mr. Lawrence. It ap peared from his evidence that he had formerly been in business, and was insolvent at that time, owing a Mr. Fryer a sum of about 1,5001. Mr. Fryer afterwards opened the shop and put in the bankrupt as his agent, and he continued so from 1841 to September last, when Mr. Fryer said that he had lost so much that the b enkrupt must take the business on his own hands, and he required him to sign a warrant of attorney to pay 81. a week to pay off the 1,5001., a new debt, aid said unle,s ha did so he must go ur. Bankrupt had ordered goods belore he took to the business to the amount of 1001, but finding he could not go on, he countermanded that and other orders. The Learned CummtssioNEß said Mr. Fryer must kn.)w that he could net fp ore tor the former debt. Mr. Nicitott.s said he Rhould submit that Mr. Fryer was not a creditor at all. He had allowed goods to be ordered and sent in in his name and to his shop, although t he bank rupt's name was afterwards put up on the license board. The CommissroNsit said that nothing appeared to prevent bankrupt passing his last examination ; his accounts were reported palectly satisfactory.

On the afternoon of the 14th. in making up my department, I missed this piece of 7-8 muslin. I mentioned thi4 to Mr. Wood, who had cancelled the entry, and I directed Payne, another porter, to make inquiry about it. In consequence of this I communicated my suspicions to Mr. Lewis.

The counter is at the end of the warehouse. There is a door leading to the street. I made nu- suspicions known to Mr. Lewis about Sharpe not a week er he left.

The conflagration originated iu some extenive premises at Counterslip, which run back to the wall of the flossing harbour, and are occupied lay Messrs. }lazell and Son as a sugar re finery. The fire was first discovered at about a quarter-past two O'clock. As soon as the flames were observed au alarm was given, and the city engine and those of the West of England, Norwich Unien, Crown, and other public companies, as well as several from private warehouses and manufactories, were speedily brought to the spot, and began playing upon the flames. The combustible nature of the materials, however, imparted such fury to the confiavration that all efforts to extinguish it proved unavailing, and the entire premises, with the valuable machinery and immense stock of sugars, were de stroyed. In the immediate neighbourhood of the refinery are sever al warehouses, as also Counterslip Chapel and newly-built day and Sabbath schools, and on the opposite side of the water is the exten sive city poor-house known as St. Peter's Hospital ; and for these buildings conk erable alarm was at times felt. The books of the firm were fortunately secured, and one small store of sugar was not entirely destroyed, but it is expected that the loss will not fall short of 3 1 ,0001., a part only of which is insured. What makes the matter more distressing is, that about eighty persons will be deprived of their means of livelihood. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE AT GREENOCK.—On Sa turday evening, about ten o'clock, one of the most distressing acci i dents we have had to record for a long time occurred on the river, about half way between the red lamp at the foot of Marntret-street and the powder-houses, by which two highly respectable gentle men have lost their lives. Mr. Edward G. Ilbery, the superin tendent of locomotives on the Greenock Railway, and his cousin, Mr. Henry Howell, the treasurer and secretary to Messrs. Stephenson, Mackenzie, and Brassy, the contractors for the new harbours now constructing here, went in a small pleasure-boat in their slippers to smoke their cigars and to enjoy the cool breeze on the river. They had not been long out when a steamer upon a trial trip, having been recently built by Messrs. Bar and M'Nab, at their establish ment at Renfrew, came up the river at a rapid pace, and notwith standing the loud and piercing shrieks of the unfortunate gentle men both those in tier. Mr. Howell was taken immediately out of the water by the people in the steamer, and though then alive, yet, from the violence of the blow he had received on his breast, he died almost instantly. Mr. Ilbery was not seen after the collision, but it was evident he must have been also struck at the same instant with Mr. Howell, as in all likelihood he would, if uninjured, have saved him self, as he was an excellent swimmer. Ills body was not recovered till twelve o'clock on Sunday, when it was found that he had also been struck on the side of his head. Both gentlemen were English men, and unmarried.—Greenock Advertiser. AN ANTIQUATED EXCAVATOR.— A few days since, as some labourers were digging trenches for the purpose of laying down the gas-light mains in Church-street, All Saints, an old woman named Chambers, who has attained the . 106th year of her age, stepped out of her apartment, and facetiously hinted to the men that they did not appear to her sufficiently to understand the use of tile lack-axe with which they were labouring, and by their leave ebe would lust show them how it ought to be done. Upon being banded Into the trench , with _ the venerable dame dexterously gave sundry blows unta ieh irt"'lvit' and so vigorously withal, that she was at length kraut. .. . t.r . h.c. l i zao e it from the earth into which she had beguiles awayerthe da wards retur, i i Ved it, without assistance.

Min.' in his grounds suiroundlna last the Rev. J. T. Tryon was w a and ' having reached an elevated Butwick Rectory, North amptonehire, h was surprised on per ceiviugxtei sive view, e .. position, commanding an e - fleld where a flock ofsheep three majestic birdvicending from a ht, tic birds de e were pastured.

The dog (which was a most courageous animal bull breed) was evidently alar me d, an d s k u lk e d off to the It hedge. , I is very probable th a t t h e eagles would have attacked either the Rev. Gentleman or the dog, had they not been deterred by the for midable appearance of nin e l arge b easts w hi c h were near t h em In 1 the same field. The birds took an easterly direction. afld flew towards Farming Woods. There is, we understand, a tame eagle on the grounds of Stafford O'Brien, Esq., of Blatherwycke Park, *Web was visited some years ago by a wild bird of the same species. It is not improbable that the latter may have thought proper, along with some of its majestic fellows, to repeat this " royal visit."—Leicester shire Chronicle. PRINCE ALBERT'S VISIT.—The rumour is again cur rent that her M a jesty will accompany the P r i nce on his intended visit to Liverpool on the 30th and 31st days of July; and It is tlso said that the royal pair will be invited to sojourn at Worsley-hall, the seat of Lord Francis Egerton, during their short stay.—Liverpool - - STATE OF TRADE.—The demand is slack for the home trade. Some orders have been received for the Continent, and the stocks on hand of useful goods are not very heavy.
