Sir Alexander Cockburn was prevented from at tending the meeting by severe indisposition. Lord John Russell urged upon the meeting the expediency of bringing the Government to an imme diate issue on the question of free trade. It is understood that Lord John Russell's course was not adopted without previous consultation with the most eminent members of the present Oppo sition. The Noble Lord was throughout received most warmly, and the only discussion arose on the ex pediency of simultaneously pressing the Cabinet to declare its views on Parliamentary Reform. We believe that the prevailing feeling of the meet ing was i❑ favour of in the first instance concen trating the efforts of the Liberal party on the preser vation of free trade. We hear that Mr. Villiers will invite the Govern. ment to explain their intentions on this momentous subject on Monday evening.—_Erening Paper. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD ILAILWAY.-(THIS DAY.) The half-yearly general meeting of the sharehol ders of this company was held this afternoon, at the Euston Station ; S. Morton Peto, Esq., M,P., chairman, presiding. On the motion for affixing the seal of the company to the register, Mr. CaAnocx inquired whether the register was open to the inspection of the shareholders ? The CH kIRNIAN said the directors did not think they were justified in showing the respective holdings of the shareholders, and, as' he was at present advised, he should decline to allow the inspection of the regis ter ; but a list of the shareholders could be seen in the company's office. Mr. CRADOCK observed that the Court of Queen's Berch had decided that the shareholders had a right to demand an inspection of the register. Attrr a short discussion an amendment was made by Mr. CRADOCF, that the sr al be not affixed, but it was 'o3t on a show of hands. _ _ _ •• - - The following is an abstract on of the report which was submitted to the meeting The a at-meat of accounts forwarded to the share holders. views that the net earnings of the lino during the half-year ending the 31*c of December last, have amounted to 47,7101. 10s. 10d.; the most satisfactory feaeure in those accounts being, that the packet s: r 'ice, which has hitherto been worked at a loss for the sake of the traffic which the steam-vessels brought to the railway, has yielded, after pay ment of the working charges, 3,115/. 9s. 7d. during the period.under review, which amount includes the sum of 312/. 3'. 21., received as salvage for services rendered to the Yorkshire, merchantman, wrecked off Holyhead. The settlement with the Post-office has now been com ple,ed, by an allowance to the company of 2,050/. 12-. 10d. for the two months not included in Mr. Roebuck's award; which amount, with 23,128/. adjudged to them by that gentleman, gave the company 30,1781. 124. 103. for tae entire service performed. But the ler;er amount of 35 0001. calculated upon the basis of what the company would have been entitled to under the con. tract, having been paid in advance by the General Post office, it became necessary to refund to that department the difference between that sum and 30,1781. 12s. 10:1. (or 4,021/. 73 23.), and the same has been deducted from the receipts of the several period* to which the over-payment in question relates. Upon the same prin ciple the amount due to this company on account of the reduction of charge for locomotive power by the London end North-Western Company has been disposed of, and the sum (1,5531. 16s. 3d.) credited to the period to which is belongs. By means of these arrangements, and by the adjustmect of outstanding liabilities on traffic ac count, the directors have been able to close accounts which had been inconveniently kept open. _ " The accounts exhibit a net balance of 24,527/. 53. 2d., from, which the directors recommend the payment of a halt -yearly dividend of Ss. ed. per share en the first prt-fereneeres. Ycur directors have deemed it necessary for the prot ec ti on o f y our i n terests, to seek Parliamentary powers for the construction of an exten sion of the line Bill introdue,adn from Chester to Birkenhead.

In the report of the resident enigineer (hereto at tached) the works in progress and the state of the railway are satisfactorily mentioned. The arrears of calls on the 501. shares amounted, on the 31st December last, to 36,6391. Since that date payments have been made, and others may be expected to the extent of 5,3011 103., reducing the arrears to 31,3371. lOs. this sum, 591 shares, upon which With respect to °0,2.151. remained un paid, have been already forfeited; and notices of for feiture have been given to the holders of all the remain ing shares. The directors now request your confirma tion of a resolution of their board, d ec laring these 366 shares forfeited. They also solicit your authority to dis pose of these shares in such a manner as they may deem advisable. Mr. W. Jackson, 11. P., and the Hon. A. Kinnaird, directors, and Mr. John Lambert, auditor, retire by rotation. These gentlemen being e li g ible, offer themselves for re-election." The engineer's report is as follows : "I beg to report, for your infor m a t ion , that the branch to Port Penrhyn was opened for the slate traffic, from Colonel Pennant's quarries, the beginning of this year, and lie is now snaking extensive alterations at the port for the traffic. Th© works of the Holyhead Extension, includi ng t h e j etty , ca t t l e landing, and loading places 2ul, sidings, and the coal loading machin e, are now ready for traffic, and the goods shed on the jetty will be ready next week. The goods sheds, and other works at the various intermediate stations, ordered for the full develop ment of the local truffle, have been finished, and the sidings, I Sec , for the through traffic, are in hand, and will be fiuished by the lot of Ma r y next. An engi ne was taken over the Bang or anti ca Dinorwig, on th e Ist i narvon Railway, as far as Port en inst il , and the slate traffic from Mr. Smith's quarries that the line to Care:ll:tete". to-day. I fully expect cliddi v e c o n f ey m ill be finished, and ready for traffic, by the The permanezt way, rarks, and stations both of oth of the main line and branch railways, are i n geed order and condition." An abstract of the accounts has been already pub lished in The Sun. Melt it his The CHAIRMAN said, in tnov i ncy the adoption of th e l d_e account and the re;rtt, duty oirJr BRC;:i remarks in elucidation o thetn, and also such in les to the whole site of the company's THE SUN, affairs as would place before the shareholders the entire state of the undertaking; and if be failed in doing sc, he would afterwards be happy to answer frankly and fully any questions which might be put to him. In the first place, he had to state that the ut most cordiality reigned in the board.—(Hear, bear.) From the time when, by an unanimous and cordial vote of the board, he was induced to accept the chairmanship of the company, now a year ago, up to the present moment there had never been the slightest possible difference on any one question.— (Hear, hear.) This would be a satisfactory announce ment, for, as practical:and commercial men, they must be aware that no u ndertaking with a divided management could prosper.—(Hear, hear.) In the second place, he had great plea sure in assurin g them that no difference of any sort or kind had arisen between them and any of their neighbours. He made this statement more particularly with re gard to the London and North-Western Company; for, as he had mentioned on former occasions, he believed their prosperity mainly depended on the cordial concurrence and hearty co-operation of that company in all their undertakings for the de velopement of their traffic.—(Hear, hear) They had not received from the board of that company simply a cold, formal recognition of everything they proposed, but the most hearty co-operation and most substantial practical aid which it was in their power to give, or for which this company ought con sistently to have asked.—(Hear, hear.) During the past year the extension for the temporary station, at Holyhead, to the end of the pier had been completed, and this, too,within the estimates and without any pay ment to the Government for the facilities given by them. By referring to the engineer's report, it would be seen that the goods' station would soon be ready; so that the goods traffic with Ireland might be commenced within a few days from the present time. The Bangor branch, open ing upon Col. Pennant's quarries, had been finished within the last three weeks, and Col.. Pennant was now constructing quays at Bangor, and also all the lines and sidings necessary for the development of the slate traffic. The construction of this line had been carried out without any expenditure on the part of the shareholders, except for supplying materials for the permanent way. The line to Port Dinor wig, opening upon Mr. Ashton Smith's quarries, was opened yesterday, and the first cargo of slate from it had been brough t over the line. The sidings throughout the whole of their lines requisite for the due development of the mineral traffic had been carried out, and those and the other necessary works would be completed by the Ist of May. So far they had been placed in a position to develope thoroughly this part of their traffic. During the year the board had anxiously considered the best means of develop ing the traffic in connexion with Ireland. They had always felt that if Holyhead was to be taken as the terminus of the line, the great object for which it was originally constructed would never be attained, and a dividend to the proprietors never paid.—(Hear.) They bad, therefore, opened , a communication with all the various railways in Ireland and England, and they had succeeded in perfecting a " through booking" arrangement, which would largely develope the traffic with Ireland. They had now eighty-three stations in England, Scotland, and Ireland, in which " through booking" had been established ; fifteen railway companies had entered into:this arrangement. " Through booking" had been extended to Bristol and London on the south, Grimsby and Hull on the east, and Edinburgh and Glasgow on the north. The ".through parcels' traffic in December last was only established to Dublin and six stations on the London and North-Western line, but since the 31st of that month it had been extended to fourteen principal cities and towns in England. The system had been found to work well, and various Irish companies were at the present moment making arrangements with them for the extension of the traffic to all the various lines in Ireland. The advantage that would result to the company he need scarcely point olio . , because it was apparent. If goods or parcels could be sent from any one station in England to Ireland, or from any station in Ireland to England with one payment, including all charges, omitting the intervention of agents, and exclusive of the cost of shipping, and over a short route, there could not fail to be a great amount of additional traffic. Such a system only could properly develope the Irish traffic. If asked for a test as to the advantage of " through booking," as far as it had gone, he would point to the receipts for the boats during the first six weeks of this year, which showed an advance of 45 per cent. over the first six weeks of last year.—(Hear, hear.) The boats had maintained great regularity during the present year. In the first six or seven weeks there had been a degree of unpropitious weather, the occurrence of which on any previous occasion was not within the memory of any of their officers or naval men con nected with the Holyhead station, yet tire regularity of transit by the boats was such that on comparing the arrival of the expresses at the Crewe station with the arrival of the boats at Holyhead it would be found that the boats were the most regular. of the two. He ought perhaps to refer to the highly efficient state of the boats, not simply to their state of repair, but to their excellent machinery and boilers, and the arrangements which conduced to the comfort and convenience of the public. All these mat ters had been constantly attended to. In the person of Captain Hurst, who was their steam super intendent, they had an officer not only capable of attending to his duty in these and other respects with zeal and efficiency, but the most correct and careful man with whom he had ever been brought in contact.—(Hear, hear.) In the present year there was a prospect of several important extensions being opened in Ireland. Among the most important was the railway to Belfast. In May it would be opened to Drogheda. They experienced the greatest cor diality and thorough-going amity in their connexion with all the directors of the various Irish lines. The increase in the company's receipts during the year was 17,6521. 13s. 4d., while the decrease in the expenditure amounted to 2,5131. 15s. 31., making a larger sum applicable to a dividend this year, as compared with the last, cf 20,1651. 18 e 7d.—(Hear, hear)—and this was with out any addition for the mineral and slate traffic, and without any goods traffic being developed and con nected with the Irish coast, and without any of the other advantages which he had already pointed out as likely to accrue to the company. The increase in the charges ;for the half-year was 8571. 6s. 2d. Iv advertising, printing and charges incidental thereto, they had expended in the half-year 1,1721. 93. Bd. The " through-booking " arrangement could not be achieved without an agency, and that agency had been of the most efficient character possible. This ar rangement could not also be accomplished without extensive advertising and placarding in every town to which the " through-booking " applied. The directors had spent 3,0001. in this manner, and had charged the amount against revenue, though it ought to have been spread on the next four or five years' accounts. Besides the agency in Ireland, they bad engaged a gentleman of high standing and of great knowledge and experience to make preliminary arrangements for the slate traffic. In the last four or five months he had been in nearly every town of importance in England and Scotland for that purpose, and when the slate traffic was thoroughly opened, the inhabitants of these towns would be prepared to avail themselves of the increased facilities offered to them. The fact of the pre liminary expenses being charged against the revenue of the half-year proved that the di rectors did not desire to give the accounts the most favourable appearance—on the contrary, it showed that they charged against revenue all they properly could, whether the expense incurred was for the present or future benefit of the company.— (Hear, hear.) If they had not done so, they might have paid interest on the entire preference stock for the:past year; He felt great dissatisfaction and dis appointment - .with! regard to the result of ,the mail award. They were obliged to deduct a sum of 5,0001. whichtec the di rec t ors h a d ca l cu l a t e d u p on rece i v i ng i n v eding accounts.

They also asked for powers to issue perpetual preference stock, W hi ch would be guaranteed by the W estern Company. That would effect a saving of 10,000 i., a year. The North-Western had readily consented to back the debentures, which would enable them to raise money at 3/ instead of 5 per cent. as formerly. They also asked to be exempted from a ch ar g e of 3661. per annum, which was at present imposed upon t h e company by the Government, for the occupancy of certain slips of land. That charge was utterly a disgrace to the Government, and an injustice to the company. He had thought that when the Govern ment spent some years ago three millions to get a communication with Ireland in thirty-six hours they would not have fixed a P e ralneut charge of that LONDON) kind upon a company which, at en expense of four millions, had reduced the period occu pied in the journey to twelve hours.—(Heer, hear.) The only additional expenditure to. he imposed upon the shareholders would be the ccra struction of sidings and other works for the sto wage of slates, so as to facilitate the conveyance of that kind of goods. The only other additional exp enfli ture would be the increase of working stock, but that had received the sanction of the shareholders at I ,the former meeting. The Chairman next alluded to the construction of the hotel at Bangor, and said the plan proposed by the directors was to allow the person erecting it 25 per cent. on the amount of traffic received by the company at the hotel sta tion, and that this should continue up to the point when he received interest upon ;his outlay at the rate of 7 per cent. It was esti mated that such an arrangement would put 70 per cent. into their pockets on the additional traffic, though virtually not incurring a farthing's expense.—(Hear.) In conclusion, the chairman said his conviction as to the development of the traffic on the rail way was precisely what it was at first—that he had seen nothing in the course of his constant visits on the rail way to alter :that opinion, and that he was sure 1 all he had pointed out would be more than fully realized.—(Cheers.) Mr. IleNsmAs said the directors promised last year a dividend of three per cent., but that promise was now as fa: from being fulfilled as ever; They had a right to expect a clear, honest, and straightfor ward balance•sheet, but the one presented to the shareholders was not of that character. It was a fallacy to suppose that the balance of 24,0001., as set forth in the accounts was correct, because there was placed to revenue the net amount received from May, 1848, to December, 1851. Instead of being a balance of 24,0001. there was, after allowing a certain sum for paying up the preference shares, an actual deficiency of 119, 0001 ., which was paid out of capital. No hope of any temporary advantage ought to induce the proprietors to blink at such a state of affairs. It was important to them as well as the public that directors should not be allowed to " cook up" accounts so as to show either a balance or a deficiency —which ever suited their purpose. The CHAIRMAN said his opinion that the rail way would produce three per cent. to the old pro prietors was still unaltered, and the increase of receipts during the last half-year showed that his expectations had been partly fulfilled. The railway had been rescued from the depth of misery, and had become one of a remunerative character.—(Hear.) A SHAREHOLDER repudiated the assertion that the directors either "cooked" the accounts or tampered with them.—(Hear.) In reply to some observations regarding the American route, The CHAIRMAN said the Admiralty were now pre paring moorings at Holyhead to faciliate the landing of mails from American mail packets, and this was an evidence of the importance which the Government attached to the route by Holyhead.—(Hear.) The motion was then - agreed to. A resolution, authorising the payment of a divi dend of Bs. 3d. per share, to be payable on the 18th of March, was next passed. A resolution was then proposed, approving of the erection of an hotel and grounds near Ban gor, and authorising the directors to assist in promoting the same, and the formation of a com pany for the purposes thereof; empowering the di rectors also to contract with such company for allow ing them 25 per cent. "...on the amount of the fares, so that 7 per cent. should be secured on the cost of the hotel and grounds. A resolution was also passed authorising the for feiture of the unpaid shares. The retiring directors having been re- elected, a vote!of thanks was passed to the directors and chair man, and the meeting separated. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH-COAST RAILWAY.

An inquest was held at Hampton Court Palac© yes terday, before F. J. Manning; Esq , Coroner of her Majesty's household, and a highly respectable jury, composed of the yeomen officers of the Palace, on the body of Miss Julia Gordon, a young lady aged fifteen years, one of the daughters of Lord fienry Gordon, residing in Hampton Court Palace, who met with her death by the accidental burning of her night dress. It appeared byihe evidence that the young lady in question was in the hanitin the morning of sitting near the fire in the study, which was near her bedroom, with no other clothes on than her night dress; and that on Saturday morning the nurse was alarmed by per ceiving Miss Julia Gordon running out of the stud; enveloped in flames, with no other covering but her night dress, which was partially burnt upwards. The screams of the young lady attracted the attention of Lady Henry Gordon, who rushed from her bedroom, and succeeded in extinguishing the flames, but not without suffering severely i❑ the attempt. The unfor tunate young lady was so eeverely burned that notwithstanding the constant attendance and car,- of Mr. Francis Baker, surgeon, of Hampton Court, she lingered in groat agony until four o'clock on Mondsy morning, when she expired. The jury, after hearing the evidence, returned without hesitation a verdict of " Accidental death." We regret to hear that Lady Henry Gordon is an invalid, and suffers severely from the effects of her courageous exertions to save her child. TIIEATRE ROYAL, EDINBURGH. Oa Monday night Mr. Josh Silsbee, an Americau comedian, whose popularity has been great in London, made his first appearance here in Jonathan Ploughboy, a part he played nearly a hundred nights in the me tropolis. ,Too piece is entitled The Forest Rose, and is of itself a very trashy affair, though it serves well enough as a vehicle for displaying the comic powers of Mr. Silsbee. These are of the genuine Yankee order—Jonathan Ploughboy is a regular screamer. kits humour is of the driest and broadest, and so abundant and spontaneous that its effects are it. resistibly contagious; the laughter it excites is general and continuous. There is not much wit in the words, but the extremely odd and characteristic style in which they aro spoken, the peculiarities of accent and expression with which they are dropt and slipt from Jonathau'a lips affect tho risible muscles of the audience in a marvellous degree. his strange dre,s and gro tesque attitudes are also no slight source of the fun his acting produces; every gesture is amusing and character istic; be appears as if filled with irrepressib'e comic humour which flies off in electric sparks at all points—from the ends of his fiery rod hair to the soles of his Jonathanian boots. He draws amusement out of his hat as a conjuror does trickets, and throws infinite expression into the collar and tails of his coat. In short of its kind the delinea tion is perfect—a caricature it may be, but essentially true to nature, i, e., Yankee nature, and a consummate work of art. Mr. Silsbee performs in another piece with almost equal spirit and humour, but his style, of course, is the same. Ho appears every night this week, and wo may promise all who go to see him that they will be kept on the broad grin the whole time ho is on the stage.—Scutsniaii.

The remark dispelled the illusion ; it was not a very wise one : but there would havo been some sense in it, as applied to her Majesty's new Ministers. For, as the Doncaster Gazette observes—" The turf is wonderfully well represented in the present Cabinet, which combines four of its staunchest supporters in the per sons of the Premier, the President of the Council, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, and the Master of the Horse." The last-named appointment, doubtless, is filled by a competent person. We wish we could say as much of the others. — Punch.

THE RA.VELY BERGILLIM—John Titman, James Stokes, and John Hall were indicted for burglariously entering the house of Thomas Fairley, at Great Rave ley, on the 24th of October, 1851, and stealing therein a quantity of property. The indictment also charged that they used violence towards the prosecutor. Mr. Toz ,, r appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Wells defended Ti'man and Stokes; Mr. Metcalfe appeared for John Hall. .This was a burgla r y w hi c h exc it e d cons id era ble sen sation throughout this county and the parts adjoining Raveley, which have of late been infested by a des perate gang of burglars and robbers, among whom John Hall played a prominent part. Within the last two years several serio us ou tra g es have been committed without detection; and as impunity gave confidence each new offence became more re markable for its atrocity than its immediate prede cessor, till at length Hall and some of his confederates determined to attack the dwelling of Mr. Fairley, the bailiff of Mr. Hussey Hussey, Great Raveley. As they knew him, according to the statement of one of the prisoners proved today, to be either a Scotelinaan or en Irishman, they fully expected that " th e y wou ld b e banged at," and they accordingly pravid e d th emse l ves with all sorts of weapons, including guns and pistol s . Indeed, from the detailed accounts of their proceedings which we subjoin in the words of Mr. Fairley, it would appear that the burglars of Huntingdonshire had not been unmindful of passing events among the most "civi lised nation" of Europe, bat seem to have profited by the exploit of a celebrated French general at the caves of Debra. With these introductory remarks we proceed to give the evidence of Mr. Fairley. Thomas Fairley—l live with my wife m a lone house at Great Raveley, and on the 24th of October we were alone in it. We retired to bed at ten o'clock, when all the fastenings were secure as usual. At eleven o'clock I was disturbed from my sleep by a crash against the backdoor, which sounded like thunder. I Jumped up and ran to the window, out of which I looked and called; but no ono answered me, nor did I see any one. All was silent for awhile, and I went to the bed-room door, which stood open at the top of the stairs leading down to the passage parting the parlour and kitchen. Just as I got there I saw a light, which showed me the features of a man's face just behind it. He was standing at the bottom of the stairs, near the kitchen door. I said, "Be aware! lam armed." I had a revolving pistol in my hand, and I had guns in the room also. As soon as I spoke the man blew out the light, and with drew to the kitchen. As I looked down I saw a man in the kitchen, and I at once fired at him, but missed him He called out, " Oh, oh, do you keep those things up there, eh?" and then he fired at me with a pistol. It was not a gun, because he durst not come out to aim with a gun. The man called out to me to come down. I heard the voices of more than one man. The voice called out, " Come down," repeatedly. I told him to "come up." A man said, "It is no use to contend; there are ten of us." I fired again. They never showed themselves except to peep with their faces and to fire with their hands out of the kitchen. In a minute following the men fired again. They fired three times with a pistol and twice with a gun. As they could not get at me so, I heard ono say, " Bring in straw;" and another brought some bean straw from the yard, which they thrust in at the foot of the stairs with a pole, as they dared not show their bodies. They lighted the straw with the leaves of the Holy Bible, which was in the closet of the kitchen. I saw the lighted papers thrown on to the straw out of the kitchen door. A great many leaves were torn out of the Bible. This kindled the straw. I was almost suffocated with the smoke. Mrs. Fairley was with me all the time. I had fired four times. I was struck ence on the thigh by one of their shots. As the men could not get at me they broke open the'parlour window and threw down the door of the room . on to the fire. The parlour is on the left and the kitchen on the right as you enter. Whea the smoke was most suffocating my wife dragged me away to the window. I was just about to expire. I put my head out and got a little fresh air. I can't describe the feelings I felt when I got my head out and breathed the fresh air. As I held my head out I saw a man in the yard with a gun or pistol, which ho pointed to me. I drew in my head, and dissuaded my wife from putting her head out of the window, against which stones, gravel, and broken bottles had been before that thrown in plenty. My wife went back into the room, which was as full of smoke as it could be. I took my place again at the stair-head. She came and said, " I must go down. I may as well die there as here," and ran down stairs. She could not breathe. There was a light down and voices below when she ran down. I heard her scream out very loud three times. I fired again after that, and a man said, "If you fire again we'll shoot your wife as she stands." I then weighed it in my mind, and said, "I will give up." They seemed to doubt me at first, but ono came half into the passage dancing about, and said to me, " Where is that thing you had in your hand?" I said, " I have thrown it into the garden," but I had not. Two men then came up in about five minutes. There was less smoke then. One held a candle. Both their faces were covered with cloth masks. I knew those men quite well. They were Taman and Hall. I had not seen them be fore to my knowledge. They took the clothes off the bed, and the feather-bed too, and matresses. They be gan to ransack the drawers, and one said, with an oath, "Go down." I went down, and saw a man standing at a table in the kitchen overhauling my desk. That man is not here. He has not yet been taken. I saw Stokes also down stairs, standing guard over my wife, who was shut in the closet. These men asked questions about the things in my desk. Stokes was not masked. He had a pistol in one hand, and a gun in the other. In about ten minutes the two men came down, and I was ordered up with my wile. Titman bad a poker, and struck at my head. I caught the blow on my arm as I went up stairs. He had not his mask on then, but I did not recognise his face then. He repeated his blow with the poker twice, and struck me across the back so as to deprive me of my senses for a w hile. I caught hold of my wife's gown to steady myself, and said, " They have done for me now." The bed-room was all strewed with the contents of the drawers. My wife led me to the bed, and I sat down. Taman and Stokes came up soon after with a light. I saw their faces then. They asked for the bread—and my wife told them to "look for it." They went down and came up again in ten minutes or a quarter of an hour. They collected some of the things, and took thtm and a gun down stairs. They did not come up again, and left the hoase c l ose on three o ' clock. I h a d so me whisky and currant wi ne , w hi c h t h ey d ran k a grea t deal of. .There was not muc h w hi s k y, b u t t h e y drank and carried away about eighteen bottles of the wine altogether. They took away a gun, a pistol, a coat, two waistcoats, two watches, six silver spoons, a quantity of plated spoons, and some gunpowder. I h ave seen a coat and waistcoat since. I got assistance as soon as they went away. Cross-examined—l identified Titman and Stokes as as soon as I saw thera next morning. I h a d never seen them before. The fire was lighted to smoke us out. They put water on the straw at my request, which increased the smoke. Mary Fairley—l am the wife of the last witness. I remember the smoke coming up stairs. I went to the window for air alone first. A man in the yard threw stones at me. I flung out some money to him. I after wards ran down from the smoke. A man told me to go into the closet. I was unwilling to go in, but ho pointed a gun and a pistol at my head, and I then went in. Octavius Wright—l heard of the robbery at Mr. Fair ley's at a qnarter to three in the morning. I live a mile off. I and the constable Woodcock went to Mr. Fair ley's sou to call him, and then, at five, we went to Mr. Fairley's. About a mile and a half from the houso we found Stokes lying asleep across a dyke on the road side. We awoke him and took him into custody. He had his gun, which we took possession of, and a cloth mask in his inside pocket. He felt for his cap, and I saw him slip the mask out of his pocket on the road as we were leading him along. This is it (the article pro duced was one end of a linen bsg, through which two or three holes or rents appeared to have been made; and must, when worn, have covered the whole of the head and shoulders). We afterwards found Titman asleep on the road, about half-a-mile from Mr. Fairley's. Some cheese, a bottle of wino, two masks, clothes, and a case knife, some ceps and powder, were taken from him. Edward Phillips, a labourer, heard of the robbery, and proved the finding of Titman and Stokes. The identification of the property found on these men hav ing been clearly made out, further evidence was given, from which it appeared that Stokes at once made a full statement, implicating John Hall, who had immediately decamped with his mistress, Jane Spechly, and remained untraced till February last, when an acquaintance met him at Nottingham, and gave information to the police, t in St. which led t o h is ca pt ure .

At three o'clock the commission for this county was duly opened by Lord Campbell, who, we hear, will find it difficult to do the work of both courts. i !In the Crown Court there are 18 caes, of somewhat serious dye chiefly we hear, and one indictment against a gentleman for obstructing the passage to a Methodist chapel, which is expected to occupy a day ; and on the Civil side, besides the ordinary business, there is a quo warranto to try the election of a member of a local board of health, which will resolve itself into a scrutiny: MR.

OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Worcester, March 9. CROWN COUT.—(Bc•fore Ur Baron PLATT ) FOPGERY.—JO.7iah 7Ne indit..ted for forgin , ,- ; a c,romissory note for 15/, with intent to defraud one Denis Crowley. Mr. Kettle conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Powell the defence. The prosecutor kept a small huxter's shop at Kid derminster, and in December last the prisoner and his father called on him and told him they were entitled to property worth 25,0001., which they would receive on paying an attorney 15/. as his charges for obtaining it. On these representations he lent them 15/. on their joint promissory note at seven days. He did not irquire where the property seas, but inquired who the attorney was, but was satisfied on being told that it was a pro found secret, and that they were not authorised to disclose it. The money was not paid when the note he• came due, nor did the prosecutor ask for it for a month. When meeting the prisoner in the street, he spoke to him on the subject, and was told that if he (the prisoner) could got another 151. he should receive the money the next day. The prosecutor accordingly told the prisoner that if he would come to his house, and bring a pro missory note of one of several persons whom he (the prosecutor) named, he would advance him the money. The prisoner carne in the evening, and the prosecutor was about to discuss the matter with him in the shop, when he said they must not transact the business there, as they might be watched by the opposite party, but must go into a private room, and they went up-stairs into a room, which served at once for the prosecutor's bed-room and sitticg-room, and there the prosecutor, in the presence of his daughter, a girl of 18, gave him 151, and received the note in question, purporting to be signed by a Mr. Blundell, who was an extensive miller in the neighbour hood, to whom the prosecutor was indebted, and whose handwriting he well knew. In a few days after he met Mr. Blundell, who, on the matter being mentioned to him, said he had never given such a note. It did not appear that the prosecutor took any proceedings on this until the time when the note was about to bscome due, whe❑ he met Mr. Blundell again, and told him that the prisoner and his friends were about to settle the matter. This the prisoner was unable to do, and thereupon he was given into custody. The prosecutor's wife proved that the prisoner came into the shop and then went up stairs on the day alluded to. The main ground of do fence was, that the prosecutor was in such wretched cir cumstances that he could nut lend the money ; that he well knew the handwriting of Mr. Blundell, and could not therefore be misled as to the genuineness of the note; and that his story was altogether incredible. His LORDSIIIP summed up strongly for a conviction. The jury deliberated for a short time, and then re turned a verdict of Guilty. Sentence—Ten years' transportation. N 01? T HE I.?N Cl lICUIT.—York, March 9. The North and East Ridings list of causes has been published to-day, and there is an entry of t 3 causes, or in all (including the West Riding list) 49 causes, which is an unprecedentedly small amount of civil business for York. 'This, however, is not all the gentlemen of the bar have to be content with; the list, in addition, is a most " rotten list," the causes one after another drop ping through, and being disposed of as undefended, at a great rate. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice CRESWELL ) James Sewell, John Johnson, and Thomas Dohei ty were charged with having, at Let ds, on the 19th of December last, assaulted and robbed William Watson. The jury, after deliberating for a short time, returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners. His Lonnie'D then sentenced each of them to 15 years' transportation. During the passing of the sentence Sewell acknow ledged his guilt, and said ho knew he was a thief and a great villain, and begged the judge to give him two years on bread and water, but to let him dio in his own country. His interruptions of the judge wero so loud and frequent as almost to render inaudible what was said. Ho then pretended to swoon, and was carried by three men out of the dock, shrieking out, " Oh, my mother! oh, my mother!" William Mums and William Penny were indicted for forgery at Bradford, on the 29th of September last. The jury retired, and after a short absence found both prisoners Guilty. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before )fir. Baron ALDERSON.) MACNOTTS7 V. MASON. This was an action on the case for seduction. Mr. Qusin appeared for the plaintiff; the case was undefended. The plaintiff, it appeared, is a musician at Shcfffid, and a poor man, having a daughter now aged 17, whom he was anxious to send out to service. The defendant is a plumber and glazier, also living in Sheffield, advanced in years, and married. The defendant has a shop re quiring attention, behind which is a sm a ll room, and in pla i nt iff g l a dly eccepted thi s offer, and his daughter October, 1850, he offered to take the plaintiff' s d aug h ter into his service to mind his shop, pay ing h er 3s. a week. The went into the defendant's service ; she had be en t h ere about a month, when the defendant began to take liber ties with her, and promising her marriage on the death of his wife, succeeded in effecting her ruin in the little back room behind his shop. This intimacy was kept up for some time, until the plaintiff's daughter becoming pregnant, the defendant suddenly discharged her. A witness was called, who corrobarated a portion of the girl's statement; and iriS LORDSHIP having summed up the evidence, The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, damages, 601 POLICE INTELLIGENCE. 130 W-STREET. Richard Mendy, a driver of one of the Pimlico omni buses, was brought before Mr. Henry, charged with furiously driving through the Strand, and endangering the lives of the passengers thereby. Mr. John F. Williams, patent felt manufacturer, of 19, Bun hill-row, St. Luke's, stated that shortly before seven o'clock in the evening he got into an omnibus at the Mansion-house, to proceed westward, and in a few minutes perceived that the driver commenced racing and edging with a Westminster omnibus going in the same direction, and in that manner they proceeded through the streets until they arrived opposite Bedford street, in the Strand, when he suddenly found himself lying on his back in the middle of the carriage way. On partially recovering from the shuck he discovered that the vehicle had come in contact with a coal cart that stood within a few inches of the kerb, on the proper side of the road, and that the entire of the omnibus had been rent asunder, the fore part being severed and dashed to pieces, while the hinder part was left about twenty yards distant, resting, in atoms, on the wheels. There happened to be only another passenger sitting opposite, who escaped miraculously without any material injury; but had there been females inside, the conse quences might have been mos t ser i ous , ow i ng so l e ly t o she prisoner's wanton and furious driving. Constable 154 F said that, seeing a crowd collected, he went up, and found the complainant much affected from the shock he had received. The prisoner, who w as standing near the pole, was qu i te d run k, an d the omnibus was totally shattered to pieces. Another constable proved that he assisted in removing the fragments, which were subsequently carted away by Mr. Rickets, the proprietor. The prisoner could scarcely walk upright on being taken into custody. The prisoner denied the charge of furious driving, and said the', had the passengers who rode outside come forward, they could satisfactorily prove that the collision did not take place through any wanton conduct on his part. Mr. llnNitY ho was seldom called upon to adju dicate worse case of the kind. It was a merc if u l upon a circumstance that the omnibus was not loaded with passengers, the greater part of whom might have been f em ale:. When such reckless driving took place, at such an hour, in one of the most frequented thorough fares, it should be put a stop to by inflicting a well merited punishment. The prisoner would therefore be commiticd for two months to hard labour; in addition, to have his licence revoked, ss he could not be considered fit to act in the same capacity in future.
