office, 11, Bncklersbury. The meeting was presided over by Mr. Davis. An irregular discussion took place at the commence ment, as to whether certain resolutions, agreed to at a private meeting of the scripholders, should be read. It resulted in their being read by Mr. Clark, and their substance was, that the affairs of the two companies were in such a state as to imperatively require the most thorough investigation, and that a public meeting should be called, at which to determine on ulterior proceedings. The present meeting had, in consequen c e, been Mr. CLARK then proceeded to explain the circum stances of the two companies. The first company to which he would refer was the Derbyshire, Stafford shire, and Worcestershire Jun ction. It was origi nally brought out with a capital of 800,0001., the shares being fixed at 32,000, of 251. each. It was subsequently altered to 40,000 shares, of 20/. each. The promoter was Mr. M`Gregor, of Suffolk-street. In respect to the second arrangement, no regular registration took place, the prospectus and provisional directors only being regis tered. About 17,000 were issued, and 8,212 were paid upon, the deposit being 21. 2s. Of the Direct East and West Junction, the originator was a Mr. Arnold, of Uttoxeter, a solicitor there, who subsequently appeared to have assumed the name of Bainbr.dge. Dr. M . ACKENZIE—He toik that name, in consequence of acquiring some property. Mr. CLARK—It might be so. The capital of this comany was 600,0001., being made up of 30,000 shares of 2 1. 2s. each. The n um b er o f s h ares was 12,195, while, from information obtained from the registrar, there was a blank against the number paid upon. Dr. MACKENZIE—That is not accurate. Some altercation arose on this point, which ended in Dr. MAcKENziE explaining that the certificate of the registrar was incorrectly filled up, and that upwards of 17,000 shares were issued, while above 12,000 were paid upon. They had then the fact before them that in the first company, of 40,000 shares, but 17,000 were allotted, while in the latter, of 30,000 shares, according to Dr. Mackenzie, but 17,000 or 18.000 were issued. This was a great source of complaint among the shareholders, as they,had been led to believe the shares had all been issued. It therefore appeared there was not sufficient to go to Par liament with. It was a remarkable fact, the directors of the one company were exactly the same as those of the other. Finding that the capital was not sufficient for Parlia mentary purposes, the directors, without consulting the scripholders, or calling a meeting. agreed to amalgamate the two, transferring the capital of the larger to the lesser scheme, the Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcester shire. Though the directors advertised that exchange scrip would be supplied to all who applied for it, he be lieved nene was supplied. Dr. MACKENZIE—That is not so; every one who ap plied for it received it. Mr. CLARK said he was prepared to prove what he said. The restit of all these proceedings was, that see ing the directors in both schemes had but issued 17,000 shares each out of 40,000 and 30,000 shares respectively, the law gave the scripholders a right to recover their full deposits. He now left the matter in their hands, and would conclude by advising them to follow up the pre seat meeting with such measures as would recover the money of the shareholders with whom faith had thus been broken. A SHAREHOLDER hoped that some of the gentlemen present who knew the affairs of the company would answer what had been stated by Mr. Clark. Perhaps Dr. Mackenzie or Mr. Matthew, who were both present, would do so. Mr. MATTHEW said he was at present Chairman of the Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and Worcestershire Junc tion, and he had only been called on to be so since the amalgamation. The line proposed now to go on with was much required by the district through which it would pass. The inhabitants were generally in its favour, and Lords Hatherton and Anglesey were its warm supporters. What had been done was for the bene fit of the shareholders. The directors had no object in view but the good of all, in fact, the carrying out of the scheme was the only way of getting out of the wood. He had no doubt, were the Bill obtained, but that good terms would be obtained from some of the existing companies, as it formed a lunction with both the North and South Staffordshire ines. The Hon. Gentleman, after explaining the pro ceedings of last session in regard to the line, said that sufficient arrangements had been made in regard to de posits to go to Parliament, without calling on the share holders, and they bad every prospect ofobtaining the BM. Mr. CLARK was glad to hear that the affairs of the company were so promising. In that case, perhaps, the directors would be in a position to pay back the deposits to those that did agree to the amalgamation. Mr. MATTHEW said what had been done was under the deeds of settlement of the two companies, and such a return could not be made. Mr. BROWN intimated that he held 1,000 shares, and he thought the proposed line an excellent scheme. If the Bill was obtained he would be glad to buy 1,000 shares more at par, as the line would have to fall into the hands of some of the great companies. Dr. MACKENZIE explained at some length the cha racter and route of the line now laid out by Mr. Ras trick. It had been much improved in its ennineering ..culiarities since last year. It started from the North Staffordshire line at the Uttoxeter station, and terminated at the Walsall station of the South Staffordsbire. Mr. CLARK thought if the directors meant well they ought to publish a statement of their accounts. I❑ answer to a question put by Mr. Brown, Dr. litacKENzLE complained that there was no oppo sition last } ear in the Lords, but they had strong oppo sition in the Commons from the Birmingham Canal Compiny and Lord Anglesey. This opposition would be withdrawn this year. The line was locally very pow erfully supported. After some further discussion, a resolution was una nimously agreed to, appointing a committee of five shareholders to communicate with the directors, so as to obtain ail necessary information respecting the affairs of the companies, such to be submitted afterwards to the shareho:clers, in order that they might determine what course to ptr,ue. The meet'n.z then broke up. Yesterday, Mr. W. Thornburn, who is aiding in the collection of the fund for " Poor Female Prisoners," in memory of the late Mrs. Fry, waited upon Mr. Jones Loyd, the banker, who immediately handed to him a do nation of 501. Five of the highest firms of the Ci'y al most followed the example, by promising donations to the fund immediately afterwards. STOCK EXCHANGE SPECULATIONS.—Yesterday the Lord Mayor, in the course of some conversation at the Mansion House, relative to the late inquiry into the cir eumstances of the case in which Messrs. Rochas were defendants, expressed a hope that the Committee of the Stock Exchange would adopt some measures upon the subject. It is currently reported that an immediate in vestigation will take place into the particulars of the dealings referred to in the report. A similar charge against another broker is, we -understand, to be laid before the next Court of Record. Alderman Copeland, who has given notice of it, has expressed his determina tion to prosecute it rigorously. MORE MISCONDUCT OF GENTLEMEN CADETS AT THE ROYAL MILLITAII Y. ACADEMY, WOOLWICH.—An extraordinary sensation has been caused at the Royal Military Academy, Woolwich, at the disgraceful conduct of three more gentlemen cadets, named Peel (nephew of Sir Robert Peel), Braybrook, and Birchall, and the severe punishment the two last have received. The charge was intoxication, &c., which was fully investi gated by the Lieutenant-Governor, Colonel Sir B. Parker, C. 8., who, after the case had been fully proved against them, sentnced Braybrook and Burchall to be confined in the blackhole forty-eight hours, eight days' confinement to their room, one month's extra drill, and to be restrained from leave and passing the gates for the ensuing half-year. The sentence on Mr. Peel (son of Colonel Jonathan Peel) has not yet been promulgated. DEFALCATION OF A CLERK UPON THE PROPERTY OF LORD HOWDEN.—On Thursday morning information was forwarded to the police that a clerk employed at Wingate Grange Colliery, near Hartlepool, had ab sconded, taking with him upwards of 6801., the pro perty of Lord Howden. He is described as being about twenty years of age, rather short and stout, light sandy hair, walks upright, and generally with a quick step. He is a native of Northumberland, and has a northern accent. "BOOKBIRDERS' PROVIDENT ASYLUM SOCIETY. The annual general meeting of this society was held in the Mechanics' Institution, Southampton- buildings, Chancery-lane, on Tuesday evening, for the election of officers for the ensuing year, and the transaction of other business, Luke James Hansard, Esq., in the chair. The report having been read, the Secretary proceeded to read the balance-sheet, showing that after all that had been done there was still a balance of upwards of 1201., and further stating he had received that day the sum of 151., out of which was the munificent donation of 101. 10s. from the chairman, who bad also consented to become an annual subscriber of 11. Is., until such time as the asylum is fully completed. A vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. PUMPKINS FOR Cows.—The South Australian Re gister says:—" Many a colonist who had the good for tune to call in at Teneriffe or Rio de Janeiro on the passage from England, will remember the long-keeping pumpkims or melons put on board for the much cows, if there were any. A similar supply of nutritive change in fodder has been successfully resorted to by a judi cious colonist, who has laid by a store of pie-melons, which he cuts into small pieces, and gives at stated in tervals to his cows, by which this change of provender is devoured with avidity. This artificial method of in creasing the quantity of milk, when the natural pas tures are parched and scanty, has been found to answer so well that in all probability the example will bo ex tensively followed. We need hardly intimate to our rural fellow-colonists what immense supplies of such kinds of food might be grown even upon sandhills or spots of ground hitherto considered barren or unpro fitable. The pie -melon will keep in high perfection from season to season, or even during a voyage to ] England. DRSTRUCTIVE FIRE AT LIMEHOUSE.—Thursday evening, between six and seven o'clock, a fire broke out in the extensive cooperage, belonging to Messrs. Gordon and Son. in Church-lane, Limehouse. The flames were first disc' overed issuing through the roof of the cooper ag% 11 building nearly 150 feet long by 50 feet deep, which contained a considerable number of casks and staves- There were about twelve compartments in the Molina, which were used as separate workshops. With such fury did the fire , that in less than ten minutes after the fi rst laextewne,sed e given, at least one half of the spacious building becam e the in flame.

He immediately placed it in the hands of Mr. Isaacson, who caused inquiry to be made, and the requisite identification having been furnished, it was restored to the loser, who rewarded the integrity of the finder with 251.

This was a summons under the small debts, and quite a novel question was raised as to the power of recommit . meat. Mr. STURGEON (for the plaintiff) said that a summons had been previously issued against the defendant, to show cause why he did not pay the sum of Si. 155., and 131. 7s. costs. The defendant, however, did not appear, and a commitment was issued fur forty days, and de fendant was taken into custody. He then filed a peti tiqn in this Court under the Insolvency Act, and obtained protection, but his final order having been refused, he endeavoured to get a fictitious debt of 1001. put on his schedule, and by increasing the debts to take it out of the jurisdiction of this Court, but failed to do so. The case was adjourned sine die. He (the Learned Counsel) understood that the question would now be raised that as the defendant had once been committed, the jurisdiction of the Court terminated. It was pos sible that it might be held that a commitment for non-payment might be held to be a stay of proceedings under the summons, but in this case there was no order for payment. but the commitment was ex press for the contempt of Court. He should, therefore, press for the case to be now heard on its merits. Mr. HARDING, the defendant's solicitor, claimed to be heard on the question raised before the merits were gone into, and contended that the Act gave power to the Court to commit for any period, not exceeding forty days, which must be taken as the maximum of impri sonment contemplated by the Act, whether for contempt or for non pament of their instalments. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that the contempt was quite a different matter to the claim itself, which had not been heard on the merits. The case was then gone into, and it appeared that the defendant was greatly involved, and several orders were now outstanding against him, which he was quite unable to pay. The Learned COMMISSIONER considered that he ought not to make an order at present, but would do so when the other orders run out. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before the LORD CHIEF BARON and Mr. Justice ERLE.) FORGERY ON THE DOWAGER MARCHIONESS OF QUEENSBERRY.—ViIIiers Pearce, described in the Cal lender as a reporter, and Bridget Sullivan, were indicted with feloniously forging and tittering an order for the payment of Ilrl., to defraud Messrs. Coutts and Co. Upon the prisoners being placed at the bar, an application was made on their behalf by Mr. BALLANTYNE, for the postponement of the trial, on the ground that the prisoners had been only com mitted last Tuesday, and that the copy of certain letters which had been written by the male prisoner had not been furnished him till late last night. Mr. DOANE, on the part of the prosecution, objected to the postponement of the trial. The Marchioness of Queensberry had come from Scotland expressly to attend the prosecution, added to which it must be presumed that the prisoner was well acquianted with the contents of the letters he had written. The LORD CHIEF BARON thought there was no ground for the application. The prisoner Pearce implored the Court to postpone the trial, but The LORD CHIEF BARON ordered the case to proceed. Mr. DOANE then addressed the jury for the prosecu tion, stating in detail the facts, which hare so lately been fully before the public, after which he called the following witnesses : John Blenkinsopp—Was cashier in the house of Coutts and Co., of which Mr. Edward Majoribanks was a partner. The female prisoner came into the bank on the 27th of August, and present e d a c h eque , purporting to be signed by the Marchioness of Queensberry, who had an account with Coutts and Co. On the cheque being presented, witness asked what she wanted for it. She said very quickly, " gold." Witness then asked her to step into the back-room. Witness asked if it was for herself. She said, " No, she received it from a man that she did not know." Wit ness then called a messenger, and desired him to go for a policeman. Witness produced eight cheques; one on the 11th of May, for 41. 10s.; one on the 18th, for 61.; one on the 21st, for 71.; one on the 23d, for Bi.; one on the same day, for 101. 10s.; one on the 26th of June for the same amount; and two on the 27th, for 151, each. These cheques were all in the same handwriting. James Goodwin, a porter in Coutts's bank, accom panied the prisoner on the 27th of August to Charing cross. She said the man that had sent her was a tall man, sandy hair and whiskers, with hair on the upper hp, and a large black coat. She told him if she did not see the man at Charing-cross, she was to wait for him at the fountains in Trafalgar-square. Wm. Sinnott, a policeman, in consequence of the direction of last witness, watched the female prisoner, and took her into custody. Witness read a letter that was found on the female prisoner, who stated that her name was Bridget Sullivan, and that she had come by a steamer from Ireland on the week previous. That she had a husband working somewhere about Chelsea, and that she had come to search after him ; that she could not find him ; had walkod about all night, and was going to Whitechapel ; that she had never been before in London in her life. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTYNE—The conver sation took place in the banking- house. Mr. Bush was present, and asked the female prisoner some questions. Re-examined by Mr. DOANE-Did not recollect whether Mr. Bush cautioned the prisoner before he asked her questions. Mr. Blenkinsopp recalled—Mr. Bush came into Coutt's accidentally. Elizabeth Pike, the searcher at Bow-street, found a letter on the person of the female prisoner. Thompson, a policeman, apprehended the male pri soner on the 20th of October, at No. 1, Millman-place, Theobald's-road. Witness told him he apprehended him as being an accomplice with his wife, Bridget, in a forgery; he said it must be all a mistake, as his wife had been dead six years. Witness said he knew he was the man he wanted, that his name was Villiers Pearce. He told witness he lived at No. 58, Eagle-street, Red Lion square, on searching which several letters were fours 1, which he produced. The Marchioness of Queensberry was then examined —She resided at Coton House, near Rugby. She had corresponded with the male prisoner, and sent him checques on Coutts's. Several cheques and letters were here shown to heir Ladyship, which she said were not in her handwriting. She had received several letters from the prisoner, and she believed the letters and cheques were in his handwriting. The signature was a bad imi tation of her handwriting. The letters produced were written to her by a person who called himself Pearce, but she had never seen him. Mr. Barnaby, the chief clerk at Bow-street, took down in writing the statement made by the female prisoner at that office, which was to the effect that she met a gentle man in the Strand, of whom she asked the way to White chapel, when he asked her to take a paper to Coutts's, which she did, when she was taken into custody. Wit ness also took down the statements made by the male prisoner, in which he denied ever forging the signature of the Marchioness of Queensbury, and stated that his wife had made the statement she did in order to save his name coming before the public. John Winter proved that the two prisoners lived together as man and wife, and came to him in July last, and took a house from him. They both went by the name of Pearce. James Young, a solicitor, of Bloomsbury, had known the male prisoner for eighteen years. Had been in the habit of corresponding with him, and had seen him sign his name. He believed the body of the cheque now produced, and the letters, to be in the male prisoner's hand-writing Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTYNE—It was only till within the last year or two that he had had any correspondence with the prisoner. He had latterly seen him write his name frequently. Mr. John Bell, a reporter, was acquainted with the prisoner, and had frequently seen him write. He be lieved the cheque produced was in the prisoner's hand writing. The letters produced witness thought, to the best of his belief were in the prisoner's handwriting. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTYNE —Tae prisoner and witness had never had any quarrels. Witness had not volunteered to give evidence. Thomas John Green, another reporter, knew the pri soner, and stated his belief that the cheque and letters were in the male prisoner's handwriting. Mr. Watson, who had known the male prisoner eighteen years, gave similar evidence. The letters and cheques were then put in, and this closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. BALLANTYNE addressed the jury for the prisoners. The LORD CHIEF BARON summed up at some length, and The jury, after a short consultation, found both pri soners Guilty. Pearce implored the Court to suspend passing sen tence, in order that he might adduce evidence and pro duce testimonials as to his conduct through life. He had filled several most respectable situations, both at home and abroad, and had reared eight children by his own exertions. The LORD CHIEF BARON said he would postpone passing sentence until to-morrow morning, wh en the prisoner could produce testimonials as to his former course of life. The prisoner trusted that the Court would also allow his wife to produce evidence of her character. The LORD CHIEF BARON thought that was unneces sary. The moral guilt being with the male prisoner. The male prisoner asserted his innocence of the crime, but stated that with respect to himself it was immaterial to him, what was done with him, all that he was anxious about was his Wife and children. The Lonn CHIEF BARON said he would postpone raising sentence till to-morrow morning, when the pri soner could produce his testimonials and witnesses. RAPE.—The Court then proceeded with the case of Clarke, who was indicted for a rape on one of his own children, and an attempt on another. The prisoner was found guilty, and sentenced to be transported for life. John Franklin, 25, William Wilkinson, 26, and John Walker, 40, who were committed on Thursday, the two former of stealing a quantity of cloth, the property of Thomas Gorden, draper, in the Blackfriars•road, and the latter for feloniously receiving the same knowing it to have been stolen, were placed at the bar to receive sentence. The evidence adduced in support of the charge showed clearly that the prisoners Wilkinson and Franklin were adepts in the commission of felony, and that the other prisoner was a wholesale receiver of stolen goods. The proceedings ho,d been watched by Mount, Gray, and Whall, three ' i f the metropolitan police belonging to the C division, rand they appeared to have acted with great zeal, discretion, and intelligence in the proceedings they adopted to detect the guilty parties. Mr. Cr. l 4 l w, who, with Mr. BoDEDr2 conducted th 9 prosecution on behalf of the Treasury, applied to the Court to exercise the power it possessed of ordering a reward to the constables, who appeared to have con ducted themselves in a very meritorious manner. Mr. Justice ERLE said he considered the prosecution a very important one, and that the exertions of the police had brought to justice a person who could not be con sidered in any other light than a wholesale author of crime, and that it was a great public advantage to check the ccurse of Filch a person. He, therefore, should direct that the usual reward given in such cases should be awarded to the officers concerned in the case ; and with regard to the prisoners, the sentence upon Fran.;- lin and Wilkinson was, that they be transported for seven years, and Walker for fourteen years. John Lacy, 44, sailor, was indicted for cutting and wounding Francis Townsend, a police constable, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. The jury found the prisoner guilty of a common assault, and he was sentenced to nine months imprison ment and hard labour. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. - - - The Court sat yesterday morning at ten o'clock, for the purpose of hearing Petitions and Appeals. The list con tained 65 cases to be heard, nine of which were appeals against summary convictions by the Metropolitan Police Magistrates, the remainder being Parish Appeals. The Learned Assistant Judge took the parish appeals first. Those heard during the morning possessed not the slightest point of general interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION -HOUSE. A deputation from the Royal Free Hospital, consist ing of the Rev. Edward Rice, D.D., (chairman of the Weekly Board,) Mr. John Watson, and other governors of the charity, waited upon the Lord Mayor to inform his Lordship that, in deference to the opinion so strongly expressed by his Lordship, and which the Committee found also existing in the minds of many other influen tial and benevolent friends of the institution, that the system of admitting into the hospital any casual poor, who had previously been in any of the unions or poor houses of the metropolis, was decidedly objectionable, and had a bad tendency, the Committee of Managements had, at their last meeting resolved, " that in future no poor or diseased persons who had received shelter in any of the unions should be admitted, but that such par ties should be sent back to the union or workhouse from whence they came." The LORD MAYOR said he considered the practice of sending the poor from unions or workhouses to the hos pital as wholly incapable of being vindicated, inasmuch as it went to relieve those who ought to be parochially relieved, and to turn the benefits of the institution away from its intended channel—the relief of the destitute sick. There was no principle to which he objected more strongly. The deputation stated, that the amount of misery the Free Hospital relieved was incalculable. Objects who were, or who seemed to be, below the notice of other hospitals, were received there and were attended at all hours and under all circumstances. The LORD MAYOR said he had never known that ob jects had been rejected at the other hospitals. Dr. Rice said, that at all hours of the night, and from the very lowest depths of misery and disease, poor crea tures were sent into the hospital which the deputation represented, and to their cases the utmost attention was paid. So frightful was the extent of wretchedness wit nessed, that it was not uncommon to see unfortunate persons who were brought into the hospital in the last stage of typhus expire three or four hours after they were received. Into other hospitals typhus patients were not admitted in consequence of the mischiefs apprehended from contagion. The LORD MAYOR said, if unions or workhouses sent such patients to the hospital, the officer ought to be held responsible, and to be punished. The city of London could, if any place had the power, afford to have a proper place for the reception of its paupers in every condition, and it was decidedly wrong to adroit patients sent by its unions to an hospital instituted for the service of very different claimants. The deputation assured the Lord Mayor that the offi cers of the institution had been exposed to very strong censure from a powerful portion of the press in conse quence of their inability to receive two poor girls, who had been sent thither in a deplorable condition, but whom it was impossible to receive on account of the im mensely crowded state of the wards. The managers had been traduced by the Coroner, who, however, subse quently retracted to a certain extent his condemnation. A serious injury had been inflicted upon the hospital but for the existence of which hundreds and thousands would have perished of disease. The LORD MAYOR-What I condemn is the fact, that you have been receiving from the City unions persons who had claims upon these unions, and who ought to have been rejected at your hospital. I object to the idea of the city of London having no place to send their casual poor to but that house at Peckham, to which they are sent down at four or fi ie o'clock in the evening, and from which they are sent away next morning—a dis graceful system, to which they are daily subjected. Doctor Rice—These are the people who apply to us. Another of the deputation said that there were two cases lately sent from the poorhouse at Westminster to the Free Hospital, and in consequence of the objection made by the Lord Mayor, they had been refused ad mission. The LORD MAYOR—Why I belonged to that board my self for many years, and I never had reason to suppose the authorities would send those whom they ought to relieve themselves to the Free Hospital. I shall have a special court called to investigate the cases. One of the deputation—What can we do when such painful objects present themselves to us ? They are daily coming to us after having been refused admis3ion to other hospitals. Doctor Rice—Your Lordship has no notion of the vast extent of good effected by the institution. Before I knew anything about it a gentleman came to me to ask me to preach for the charity. I made particular inquiry into the nature and proceedings of the charity, and I did all I could to advocate the cause. I believe that but for it thousands of our miserable fellow-creatures would die in the streets. It is the anxious wish of the ma nager that your Lordship should investigate into the t, and we ar e c o nvinced th a t see strong g roun d s f or no t with h‘Pvoahrledtniienugyiaotruhsedoo you s f up th p e or e t wh which has hitherto been of such utility to it. The Loan MAYOR said be should take an early op portunity, after the close of his year of office, to investi gate the charity. In the meantime he felt satisfaction at the resolution to which the managers had come, and which was calculated to prevent the abuse of a charity by confining it to proper objects. GUILDHALL. Mr. Alderman Hooper was engaged for some hours in the investigation of a charge of assault preferred by John M'Nally against George Brown, City policeman No. 222, who has recently joined the force, but was formerly in the Metropolitan police. M'Nally was charged with rescuing from the officer a man who had a n remaineddA w e e a r s o fi a e certificate fromatpatient t of f t r h do e amo h gt o he u re. s e injuries- r w g a eo s nsh understoodcof h a S assaulted him. It d t . Bar t o t ho lomew's Hospital was put i n , stat i ng that M'Nally ' s wife received, be an almost hopeless case, and therefore -the magistrate took the evidence at great length. Ellen Connelly, of St. Duustan's-court, Old Bailey, stated that two friends came to visit her husband on Sunday. Their names were Grady and William Kelly. In the evening they all went to the Red Cow, King street, Smithfield, where they had some beer. On leav ingwere passing. r Brown, t n o , the house, about twelve o' c l oc k, a quarrel took place thetvpolicemen,een awayK ell came e y m an m ds d o i u m a p t e e , l mend Kelly crossed ss the o en how insisted on a ll th e persons going bid his friends good night, and was followed by Brown, who pushed Grady and Kelly towards Smith field, and eventually took Grady into custody. A scuffle took place, and Grady got away. Brown then seized M'Nally, a friend of Grady s, who had acc id entally come up. M‘Nally's wife interfered to get her husband away, when the policeman knocked her down with his truncheon, and on M'Nally's end eavour i ng to lift up his wife he was also knocked d own by the policem an , w h o struck him twice on the head while he was lying on the ground. The policeman said he ordered them to move on half a dozen times before he took Grady into custody. They moved a little way, and then stopped to wrangle ; such conduct soon gathered a crowd, and caused confusion in the street, which it was his duty to prevent. Grady pushed him several times before he took him into custody. On the part of the policeman, Maria Alder, of Little New -street, Gough-square, and Mrs. Isted, of 29, King street, who saw the affray from the windows of their dif ferent houses were examined. They stated that there was a rush by the mob, and the policeman was knocked down three or four times. She heard the voice of a woman, who was very active in the rescue. She said, " Don't let him be taken ; the policeman is drunk." They thought the policeman's life was in danger. He drew his staff and knocked a woman down, and flourished his staff round to keep the people off him. An extra policeman, named Murrell, who went to Brown's assistance, stated that he saw the policeman knock e d d own under the feet of some catt l e . Wi tness took M rs . M` Nally into custody. Sh e wou ld no t wa lk, but stopp e d . Brown struck her on t h e s h ou ld er w ith hi s staff. Sh e wa l ked in a stoo n g osition to the station house, a n d t h ence to the h o spital. p He did not know she was hurt till h e saw the bloo d runn i ng down h er ne ck a t pi the station-house. Sergeant a eansttrPicat inquiry.ttersonproved that Brown was quite sober. Mr. Alderman Ho P E R sa id he would release John *Nally on his p ppromise to a ear on Saturday week, and oinrdtehe meantime he hoped the commissioner would in vestigate the c on d uct o f the of fi cer . An inspector sa id t h e comm i ss i one r had already Mr. Alderman floor En. adjourned the further hearing of the case to the 7th of November. tii WORSHIP-STREET. Willis, a carman in the service of a railwa y truck conveyance contractor at Whitechapel , was p laced at the b ar b efore Mr. Bingham, charged w i t h h av i ng by nrslige n t d riving seriously injured a married woman named Eli za b eth Mills and her fat h er , Mr. Edward Bash fi e ld , a retired Custom-house o fficer, who is confined to his bed w i thout hopes of recovery ' Mrs. Mills, w h o was suppor t e d. into Court upon crutches, a n d appeared to be in a ve ry debilitated con dition, stated th at while procee di ng thr ough Devonshire street, Mile -end-road, on the 14th ult., leading her father, who is 85 years of age, and totally b lind, a massive dcorner railway-truck carriage, - d r awn by three ~'arses, suddenly Carne UP, and turned the so ree k lessly, that one of its hind wheels was thrown upon the p avement upon which she and her father were walking, and before they had time to escape they were both violently struck and flung to the ground by it. The prisoner , who was seated in front of the vehicle, apparently asleep, and without anY rains, or th e sli g ht e st control our the horses, was instantly secured by a policeman. Witness was carried to the London Hospital, and her father was coveyed to his own residence, when it was ascertained that one of her legs had been broken, and that her father's hip had been so crushed that although he had been confined to his bed under surgical care ever since the occurrence, it was impossible, from his advanced age, that ke could ever recover from the injuries he had sustained. In answer to the charge the prisoner said he was ex. cessively tired, in consequence of having walked a long distance that day, and that although he was certainly seated in front of the truck, as the prosecutrix had stateo, the occurrence, which he sincerely regretted, was purely accidental, and resulted from the circumstance of there being no post or kerb at the spot in question to keep vehicles off the footway. Mr. BINGHAM said that the case was far too serious for his limited powers to dual with, and he should there fore direct the depositions of the witnesses to be taken, and committed the prisoner for trial at the •sessions. A middle-aged, half-starved, miserable-looking female pauper, belonging to St. Luke's workhouse, was brought to this office, in custody of the police, charged with riotous conduct, and with breaking the windows in that establishment. The pauper was ushered into the Court at ten o'clock, being the time appointed for tke hearing of the case. A quarter to eleven o'clock, however, cr,me, and the prosecutors had not yet arrived. This was inti mated to the Magistrate, as also that the unfortunate pauper had not received her breakfast, nor had any food whatever been given to her since the previoui day. Mr. BINGHAM ordered her immediate discharge, and with great humanity desired the officers of the Court to lose no time in providing her with nourishing food. The chapfallen appearance of the officers of the work house, at learning, on their arrival with their witnesses, that the accused had not only been discharged, but was partaking plentifully of the bounty of the police-office, afforded no small amusement to those who were present. SOUTH IVA 1?K. John Cale, the mate of the Cassandra, Mediterranean trader, was charged before Mr. Seeker with stealing a book, the property of the master of the vessel. It appeared that the Cassandra arrived on the pre vious day from a port in the south of Spain, laden with fruit, when the prisoner was paid off and discharged. Before leaving the vessel, however, his chest was searched, and in it was found a book, entitled the " Silent Friend," which the captain claimed as his pro perty, and gave the prisoner into custody. The prisoner declared that the charge was trumped up against him out of spite, the captain having quar relled with him and vowed he would be revenged upon him. He added that he had sailed as mate on board several vessels, and never had a blot upon his charac►er. The captain's brother wished to press the charge, but Mr. SECKER said that, even if the book had been taken, it might be done by mistake, and appeared to be of trifling value. He should, thergfure, discharge the accused. At the Woolwich Police-court, Thursday, Thomas Bland, a butcher, was fined 20s. for having sold a pig's head which was in a state unfit for human food. SHOOTER'S HILL POLICE.—The Commissioners of the Metropolitan Police have determined to make this a separate sub-division, and have therefore appointed Mr. Derrig as Inspector at the police-station at Shooter's hill, which division will comprise Eltham, Lee, Welling, Woolwich-common, and Shooter's-hill, for which purpose more constables have been appointed, the present number being insufficient to do the duty required. Joseph Ilume is now 70 years old, Sir William Molesworth 36, Lord Morpeth 44, Daniel O'Connell 72, Sir Robert Peel 58, Lord Stanley 46, Colonel T. P. Thompson 63, Dr. Bowring 54, Sir James Graham 54, Earl Grey 44 Lord Brougham 67, she Duke of Devon shire 56, Earl Fitzwilliam 60, Lord Lyndhurst 74, Lord George Bentinek 44, the Duke of Rich mond 53, the Duke of Rutland 68, the Duke of Wel lington 77. UNITED SERVICE MEDICAL INSTITTJTION.—Wed nesday afternoon a meeting of medical officers in the royal navy was held at the British Hotel, Cockspur-street, to consider the propriety of forming an association of mem bers of the profession. Mr. Drummond took the chair, and said that the object of the society they were about to form was the advancement of medical science, the in vestigation of the modifications of endemic and epidemic diseases in different climates, and the maintenance of the honour of the profession generally. On the motion of Dr. Evans, deputy medical inspector, seconded by Mr. M'Ternan, it was resolved that the society should be established, and that a proposal should he made to the council of the United Service Institution to form a union with that body. Dr. Lindsay then moved that medical officers in the sister services—the army and the Eat India service—should be eligible for admission, and that the association should be called the United Service Me dical Institution. This resolution was also carried unani mously, and a committee was appointed to confer with the United Service Institution on the subject. SUDDEN DEATH OF COUNTESS DOWAGER OF WlN TERTON.—Wednesday Mr. Mills held an inquest on the body of the above lady, at her residence, Lodge-villa, North-bank, St. John's-wood. Elizabeth Stairs, her Ladyship's waiting-maid, said that deceased had been an invalid for the last five or six months, complaining of pains in the back and chest. Her Ladyship consulted Dr. Elliotson about three months ago, who told her she laboured under affection of the heart, and prescribed for her up almost to the time of het death. ller Ladyship having taken her medicine retired to rest at 11 o'clock on Sunday night last, appearing in better health than for some time past. At a quarter to four next morning witness was aroused by her Ladyship ringing violently and calling for assistance. Witness went to h.r in stantly, and found ler pacing her bedroom appArernly in great agony, and exclaiming, "I am dying." Wit ness applying what aid she could, sent some of the ether domestics! for Mr. Watkins, who speedily arrived, but in the interval her Ladyship expired. Mr. Watkins, who had made a post niortcni examination, said that the cans( of death was ossification of the heart.—Verdict, •'Natural death." MR. FORREST, THE AMERICAN TRAGEDIAN.— We learn, from a private letter, that Mr. Forrest re cently finished a most suceessful engagement at the Park Theatre, New York. His reception was enthusiastic, and the house was crowded on each night of his per formance. He appeared in Macbeth on the occasion of his benefit. At the close of the tragedy, Mr. Forrest being unanimously called for, came forward, amidst the cheers of the crowded auditory. After returning his thanks for the honour done him, he went en to say : " And, in the hope that you may continue to approve my efforts, they shall henceforth be employed, most strenuously, to bring the American stage within the in fluence of a progressive movement—(Cheers)—to call forth and encourage American dramat , c letters—(Ap plaut=e)—and. last not least, to advance the just claims of our own meritorious and deserving actors.---(Applause.) And yet, while I shall endeavour to exert an influence fa vourable to American actors, you will do me the justice to believe that I am animated by no ungenerous motives towards the really deserving of any other country ; (Loud cheers)—for I should blush to imitate that nar row, exclusive, prejudiced, and, I may add, anti-American feeling, which prescribes geographical limits to the growth of genius and talent.—(Protracted applause.) True worth is the birthright of no country, 1-ut is the common property of all.—(Applause and cheers.) And, ladies and gentlemen, if it pleases you to applaud and to second, in this endeavour, my humble efforts, I will say to you, in the language of the old Cardinal in the play, — There's no such word as fail " THE OVERLAND.—THE MARSEILLES AND TRIESTE ROUTES.—The present overland mail was carried from Bombay by the steam-ship Atalanta, which sailed at six P.M. on the Ist instant, and reached Suez on the 19th at ten A.M. The express through Egypt left Suez an hour and a half after the steamer's arrival, reached Cairo at half-past five o'clock in tli.o evening, and Alexandria, at five P. 31., on the following day. 11.M.5. Ardent, con veying, we presume, Mr. Waghorn's dispatches, sailed for Trieste with a portion of the dispatches at half-past twelve o'clock at night, and the Ariel, belonging to the Peninsular and Oriental Company, to which we are in debted for this intelligence, started a quarter of an hour afterwards. The Ariel reached Marseilles at nine o'clock in the evening of the 26th. On this occasion, therefore, it would seem that the route by Marseilles has the advantage. On lists of COMMON LAW vacation, CoußTs. for the ensuing the arrears, appointed Michaelmas terrr, Saturday officersof on th e thesseveral vteerra minatien of the long l common law courts, resumed busi ness, when the commencing on Monday next, were e xhibited. The lists are greatly improved in appearance. The arrears are trifling to what they were some few years back, and the Court of Queen's Bench, which for a long time showed a considerable arrear, ha s now a healthy appearance, so that by the exertions of the Learned Judges, the customary observation, that to get a rule nisi was to tie up an action for eighteen months or to o years, will be shortly inapplicable. From the lists of the Court of Queen's Bench for Michaelmas term, it appears that there are 76 rules in the new trial paper for argu ment, and that the earliest was moved for in Easter Term, 1845, and eleven rules standing for the judgment of the court. In the special case and demurrer paper for the court, there are five for judgment, and thirty eight for argument. There are in the Court of Common Pleas, four enlarged rules, three for new trials moved for in Trinity Term last, and sixteen rules waiting the decision of the court. Four days have been appointed for demurrers, and on the first day, the 6th of November, sixteen are entered for argument. In the Court of Exchequer there are three cases in the peremptory paper, and eight for judgment in the special paper, and thirty one for argument. In the new trial paper there are four for judgment and five for argument, the earliest of which was applied for in Easter Term last. The Courts will witness some changes since Trinity Term. A new Judge in the Court of Queen's Bench, in the place of the late Sir John Williams ; and in the Com mon Pleas a new Chief Justice, and the Court thrown open to barristers generally "to have audience in term time." It seems that the Court of Queen's Bench issued 26 375 writs of summons in six months, ending on the 10th May last ; the Court of Common Pleas 12,873 in the same period ; and the Court of Exchequer as many as 30,763 in the time. CHURCH PASTORAL AID SOClETY. — Wednesday, at a meeting of tie managing committee of the Church Pas toral Aid Society, it was stated that a contribution of 200 guineas had been anonimously sent fi r the purposes of the society through Messrs. Hoare and Co. The donor merely gave the initials of "C. C." The society have selected 25 cases as being most fit to be provided for out of the 2,0001. appropriated from Mr. Scott's bequest, and which are therefore called the " Scott Grants." In ad dition to these grants the society now provides 311 be this h: of fellow year i 3 l eei 2 )daw , :331wt labourers, b / in cumbents with the means of supporting 299 curates, and y 68 lay assistants to labour among an aggregate popula tion of 2,151,027, at the cost (when all the grants shall o a b fte procuretpi operat ion) h n r e es s e os c t ui ju suitable lo incumbentsu i r N er s s e t v h e e r several itch ot not tat actual expenditure gray oge nadh t s i tenu a rotr to probably, was stated , excied 27,000/. MARKET NE WS- (YESTERDAY.) CORN EXCRANGE. On the whole, the arrivals of English Wheat for our market, this week, have been moderate. To-day, the stands were fairly supplied with those left over from Monday, as well as the fresh receipts ; owing to which, the demand was in a very depressed state, and, in some instances, the quota tions suffered a decline of ls. per quarter. In fine Foreign Wheat, next to nothing was doing; yet, the holders refused to accept of lower prices. So little was passing in bonded grain, that the rates were nominal. The Foreign Barley ar rived this week, being fit for malting purposes, the Barley trade was heavy, and the currencies were not supported. There was a steady taade for Malt, at extreme figures. Oats, Beans, Peas, and Flour, without alteration. English ..... Irish ....... Foreign ...... Wheat. 3,710 qrs. 6,720 Malt, 890 qrs ARRIVALS. Barley. Oats I Flour 1,160 qrs. 700 qrs.

There were on offer 362 Beasts, 540 Sheep, and 26 Calves, from abroad, in fair average condition. The num bers of Sheep were small, yet the inquiry for that descrip tion of stock was heavy, at barely stati , ,nary prices. Calves —the supply of which was by no means large—moved of• slowly at late rates. In Pigs exceedingly little business was transacted, at our quotations.

For the finest qualities 'we have to report a steady sale, at full prices; but all other kinds are much neglected. In the duty very little is doing. It may be called 220,000/. New Sussex l'ockets, 31 16s to 41 6s; ditto, Weald of Kent ditto, 41 4s to 41 15s; Mid and East Kent ditto, 4/ 12s to 6l 10s. (From the London New Price Current of October 30.) SUGAR.—To-day there were plenty of buyers of West India Sugar of all descriptions, and rather higher rates were offered, but business of moment was prevented by the scanty and indifferent supply at market. The purchases amounted to 400 hhds and trcs, including 94 hhds of Barbadoes at auction, which went briskly at a further advance in prices of 6d to is per cwt. Mattuatus.—This afternoon the market was better sup plied with Mauritius Sugar, two parcels amounting to 376 casks and 12,488 bags were offered at public sale, but the de mand was active and the whole sold at an advance on former rates of 6d to is per cwt. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon 270 bags of Madras at public sale sold at stiffer rates, good yellow at 535, middling 47s 6d to 48s 6d, low middling 475, damaged 43s 6d to 52s 6d. 2,830 bags of Bengal went briskly, at a rise on former rates of 6d to 1s; good strong yellow, like Mauritius fetched 50s to 51s, middling 41s 6d to 49s 6d, low 47s to 47s 6d, Dobah kind 44s to 58s. FORZIaN.—To day Foreign Sugar was rather more in re quest for exportation, and there were not generally sellers at former rates. The private sales during the week were 1,400 chests of yellow Havannab, at 23s 6(1; 100 chests of white, 29a 6d; and 300 hhds of Cuba Muscovado at 21s per cwt. _ _ _ MOLASSES.—The inquiries after all descriptions of West India have been numerous this week, but business has been much interfered with by the scanty supply at market, and the high rates insisted upon; a small parcel of Dominica of very fine quality has brought 30s per cwt. COFFEE.—To-day there was no public sale of any kind of Coffee, and privately there was little passing; the value of good ordinary Native Ce) lon is only 378 6d to 38s 6d per cwt. TEA.—There has been little desire manifested to Operate in Black Tea this week, but holders have refused to submit to any further decline in prices privately for a❑y kind, although the supply at market is good; the value of com mon and fair Congon cash is Bid to 9d, good common 9id, and Pouchong low to fine ordinary 4d to 10d. Green can be obtained upon previous low terms, still few purchases have been made in any kind privately this week, and there is a large quantity on offer. Hyson of common quality is only worth is 8d to is 10d, and Twankay low to good yel lowish leaf gd to ls. The public sales which commenced yesterday were brought to a conclusion this afternoon ; the trade operated with much caution, but holders insisted upon previous rates. Of the quantity offered, amounting to 17,000 packages, the small part only of 1,700 packages, chiefly damaged and out of condition, actually found buyers, at prices generally on a par with those previously current; a break of low sound common Congou sold at 8d to 8 'Ad per lb. SPICES.—BIack Pepper is not to be purchased on lower terms, but exporters and the home trade have acted with caution. Privately we have few transac tions to report, although Sumatra is to be obtained at 2id to 2IJ, and Penang 21d to lid per lb. White is wanted at the previous currency, and some parcels have been sold privately; 388 bags at auction were disposed ,of at 3%d to 3%ct for middling and good middling bold • dingy, and at 2%d to 2 3 /d for damaged. In African Pep several purchases have been made, and the supply being small, prices are still improving. Ginger of all wanted, and previous improved rates are well sustained; the supply is on the decrease, and the stock less than it was last year. Nutmegs have been in good request privately, and prices are improving. Of Mace there is not euflicient at market for the demand, and prices are rising. Pimento has been in good demand, and the rates paid are fully equal to those of this day week. For Cassia Lignea the market has a firm appearance, and holders still refrain from offering any at public sale. INDlGO.—Although the accounts come to hand from Cal cutta this week state that the Indigo crop would not exceed 90,000 maunds ; still the market here has been in a tranquil state for all kinds, exporters and the home trade operating with caution, but merchants insist upon the prices paid at the last quarterly sales, although the quantity held by them is large. RICE.— There has been a much better demand for Bengal this week, for home consumption as well as for exportation, and the rates paid have bean fully equal to those pre viously current. Privately several parcels were dis posed of, and 1,331 bags at auction found pur chasers, good clean pearly white at 18s to 19s, but 1,376 bags of low dusty and broken quality were mostly taken in at 16s 6d to 17s. In Madras the operations privately were upon a larger scale at firm rates, 15s to 16s having been paid. Java is wanted, but there is none in the market. FRUIT.—The transactions in Currents lately sold to ar rive have been considerable, about 1,000 tons is re ported to have been taken ; Zante and Cephalonia 54s to 54s 6d, Patras 55s ; two cargoes Zante arrived on Monday, and were eagerly taken by the grocers at 555; the de and continues good. A cargo of Valenti as arrived, which de mend divided among the trade at 465, New Turkey Pulled Figs sell freely at 145 s to 7 0 s, Ncw Sultanas 60s, N ew Mus catels, boxes - bunch 48s, boxes layers 525; half ditto, 565. Ruin, BRANDY, and llonutiens.-1. here has been a falling off in the demand for all descriptions of Jamaica Rum this week—exporters and the home trade purchasing with cau tion, but holders for the most part insist upon full rates: only small parcels have been sold. Demerara is not cheaper, but there has been little passing, and only 80 puns have been sold. Leeward Island is not offered at any further decline, but the demand has been limited, and the sales are only 160 puncheons at 3s 4 1 Ad to 3s sd. For Cal cutta, the market, however, has a firm appearance, and a good business has been transacted. There has been a brisk demand for Brandy, chiefly for home consumption, and prices have advanced for the vintages of 1842, 1843, 1844, and 1845, of Id per gallon, whilst all other kinds fully sustained the former worth. Geneva is wanted for exporta tion, and the parcels sold were at 2s 8d to 2s 9d for common, and at which holders are firm. Fine for home con sumption has been in fair demand, and.. prices are on the ascendancy, the supply being small, 3s 2d to 3s 4d having been paid. In British made Spirits prices are rising—stocks are light, and the consumption large, Oita.—Seal has been largely dealt in, and prices have risen 40s to 60s. For Cod the demand has been good, and further advanced rates are obtained. Sperm has been much in re ' quest, and prices are still advancing. The home trade are yet the chief purchasers of Fish Oils. Prices vary little from those of last year, but stocks are leas, consumption greater. Cocoa Nut Oil has been purchased with avidity, and owing to the supply being small a further rise in prices b us t a k en place. The demand has been active for Palm Oil, and owing to the limited quantity brought to market buyers have been compelled to pay further advanced rates. American Lard Oil has been sparingly dealt in at 38s to 44s per cwt., and there is a large quantity on offer. Rape Seed Oil has been in much better request, and prices are firmer. In Olive extensive purchases' have been made, and prices must now be quoted 50s to 60s per tun higher. There has been much activity for Linseed Oil, and prices have risen is 6d to 2s per cwt. TAnnow.—For delivery in Spring months prices have fallen from 49s to 49s 3d per cwt, but upon these terms many contracts have been entered into, and prices are not expected to be much lower, as the arrrivals will continue deficient those of former season, the trade everywhere scantily supplied, the stock being less than it was last year, and the consumption going on largely.

The deceased, a carpenter, living at 4, Gulston Cottages, bad led a very intemperate life, producing disease of the brain and chest, which of late had left himin such a state of debility as to render him unaccountable for his actions. On Tuesday morning last his wife had occasion to leave the room, and on returning, in less thnn three minutes, she found him on the floor in a sitting position, bleed ing from a wound in the throat, which he had inflicted with a razor. Mr. Atkinson, surgeon, was called in, and sewed up tho wound, but he expired the same night from the effects of the injury. Verdict, " Temporary natality" ..........-.......... woRKS by ROBERT J.
