'Plaintiff is an East India went. Witness had been secretary to tho company, was now defun.t. It certainly was not a " bubble," but there was no railroad. The offices of the company had been at No. 62, Moorgate-street. De-' fendant said he had sold the shares, and the inference was that he had received the money; he distinctly said that he would make cut the account. Witness was not acquainted with the practice of the iitare market as to the sale of shares, or what commission was paid. Wit ness had bought and sold shares, and had paid 6d. on each share. Never knew that as much as Is. 3d. per share was charged, but the commission varied according to the value of the shares. The defendant's attorney then proceeded to address the jury, and put in a memorandum, to the cifcct that the plaintiff had made a deposit of the shares as a security for 1001. advanced, and if the amount was not repaid within 14 days, the defendant was to be at liberty to sell the same and apply the proceeds to liquidating his claim. An objection was taken that it was an agreement re quiring a stamp, and it was therefore rejected as evidence. The defendant's attorney then contended that there was no evidence as to what the shares were, or how much they had really fetched, and that the payment of the 121. was a settlement of the account. _ A Mr. Bedford was called to show that the shares did not fetch more than a. 12s. or 1L 12s. 6d., but he could only speak to the best of his recollection. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said, if the first wit ness was to be depended on—and he saw no reason to doubt his evidence—the case was made out of a promise to pay some balance after the payment of the 121. As to the amount, it should be remarked, that in charging the prices at 345. and 345. 6d., as the witness could not remember which lot was sold at the larger sum, the plaintiff charged it on the smallest lot. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. THE ELY AND HUNTINGDON RAILWAY COMPANY V. RYDER. This was an action brought by the Ely and Hunting don Railway Company against the defendant, one of the shareholderp; to recover a call of 2/. 10s. on 106 shares allotted to the defendant. The defendant suffered judgment to go by default. Mr. BIRCH appeared as counsel for the company, and called evidence in support of the case. A question arose as to the liability of the defendant to pay interest from the day on which the call was to be paid. There was no count in the declaration to carry interest, and the Learned Under-Sheriff was at first of opinion that notice ought to be given that the calls were due. Mr. BIRCH submitted that a general notice was suffi cient, and that it was not necessary that individual no tice should be proved. Mr. RonnisoN said he thought there could be no question that shares bore interest. Mr. BIRCH quoted the case of the Southampton Dock Company v. Richards (1 Scott's Law Reports, 219), and on that authority The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said the jury could, if they thought proper, give interest by way of damages. The jury gave a verdict for 2731. 7s. 7d., allowing in terest at five per cent. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAN.) OLD COURP. Henry Eames, aged 28, described as a servant, was in dicted for a rape on a child under ten years of age. Mr. Payne prosecuted, and Mr. Prendergast defended the prisoner. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty of the capital offence, but Guilty of an assault. Mr. Justice COLTMAN did not conceive that the assault was compiised in the felony; he therefore directed a verdict of Not Guilty to be recorded, and the prisoner was ordered to be detained, in order that an indictment of felony might be preferred against him. NEW COURT. John Anderson and Edward Sullivan, described in the calendar as labourers, were indicted with stealing a breast-pin, of the value of 4s. 6d., the property of Joseph Parry, from his person. These two prisoners, it will be reco'h cted, are the persons who, dressed as females, accosted the prosecutor in Holborn-hill, and asked him for something to drink, and while in con versation with him took the opportunity of steal ing the property. Upon their being taken to the station-house it was discovered that they were men in female attire. The charge was clearly proved against the prisoners, and some policemen swore to having seen them dressed as females before. The prisoners, in their defence, said that it was all done for a lark. The RECORDER summed up. The jury found both prisoners guilty. The COURT sentenced them to 15 years transporta tion, the Recorder observing that the offence, though small, had been committed under circumstances which called upon the Court to pronounce upon the prisoners the severest sentence provided by the statute. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) Samuel Cohen, a Jew, carrying on an extensive busi ness as a clothes dealer, surrendered upon his bail, to take his trial on an indictment charging him with steal ing three pair of trousers and a quantity of cloth, the property of John Burford. It appeared that the prisoner entered the prosecutor's sale-room, where there were a number of persons making purchases, when he bought first a piece of cloth, then three or four other articles, and went away, but a large piece of cloth and three pair of trousers being missed, he was followed and taken into custody. Upon search ing his bag at the station-house, the trousers and cloth were found, placed alternately between the several arti cles he had purchased. The Learned JUDGE commented upon the latter cir cumstance, and said it clearly showed that the property could not have been accidentally taken. A host of persons, of the Jewish persuasion, having given the prisoner an excellent character, a verdict of tiuilty was returned, with a recommendation to mercy, on account of his previous character, and he was sen tenced to three months' imprisonment, with hard labour. Sarah Simpson was indicted for stealing a silver watch, and a chain and key, the property of Thomas Ashley. The principal evidence rested upon the statement of a child under ten years of age, who stated that she was left in care of the prosecutor's house in Ball's-pond, Islington, when the prisoner, who resided next door, came in, and, after remaining a few minutes, went away, and the watch, which had been hanging over the mantel shelf a short time before, was missed. A pawnbroker's clerk swore the prisoner pawned the watch at his master's shop. A similar verdict was returned by the jury, when it was intimated to the Learned Assistant-Judge previous to his passing sentence, that the prisoner was six months advanced in pregnancy. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said that, owing to the state of her health, and also in consequence of the recom mendation of the jury, he would pass a very mild sen tence upon her, which was that she be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six weeks. Several jurors expressed their regret that the Learned Judge should consider it to be his duty to attach the punishment of hard labour to the imprisonment of a female in her delicate condition. The ASSISTANT JUDGE said the jury laboured under a mistake, if they imagined the order of "hard labour" would be carried into effect; it only conferred the neces sary authority upon the prison authorities. MARLBRO'-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) Thomas Douglas, a child, was charged with stealing a quantity of cigars from Mrs. Marsella's shop, 12, King street, Soho. Harriet M'Dowall said she was sitting in the parlour last night, between five and six o'clock, when she saw the prisoner in the shop with his hand in the cigar boxes. He took up two handfuls of cigars, and gave them to two boys who stood outside the door ; he re turned to the boxes and lifted other two handfuls, which he succeeded in giving to the same two boys before the witness was able to lay hold of him. The other two boys escaped ; she caught the prisoner, who, by the ap pearance of the boxes, must have taken about three dozen of cigars. Police constable, 6G C., said he took the boy into cus tody, and produced some cigars which had been dropped outside the door of the shop. The defendant said he was nine years of age, and had got no father. Ile seemed quite incapable of under standing the situation which he had brought himself • into. Mr. HARDWICK appeared to be in difficulty about the course he ought to take with the offender before him. Ultimately he committed the prisoner to take his trial at the Middlesex sessions. COMMISSION OF LUNACY. (THIS DAY) This morning a commission of lunacy was opened by Francis Barlow, Esq., at the Commission Rooms, Red Lion-square, to inquire into the state of mind of John Webb, Esq., a gentleman entitled to considerable pro perty in orkshire, Lincolnshire, and Northampton shire, and at present in confinement in an asylum near Paris. Mr. J. Romilly and Mr. Buck appeared in support of the commission; Mr. Bacon, Q.C., and Mr. Parker, Q.C., to watch the case on the part of the alleged lunatic; and Mr. Walpole for Miss Webb, a daughter of the alleged lunatic. The Learned COMMISSIONER addressed the jury. Mr. ROMILLY opened the case, and stated that Mr. Webb was one of three sons of the late Sir John Webb, Bart., who was possessed of large estates in Yorkshire, Lincolnshire, and Northamptonshire. The late Baronet died in 1797, leaving the whole of his estates to his three sons, who, it was necessary to ment ion, were ille gitimate. He left the Yorkshire estate to his eldest son, James, for life, and to his children, and if without law ful issue, to John (the subject of the present inquiry), and if he died without lawful issue, to his younger son, Frederick. The Lincolnshire estate was left to John, nnder similar restrictions ; and the last to Frederick, in the same manner. James and Frederick were both dead, the latter leaving - children, and it was on behalf of the eldest son of the latter that the Commission was sued out. Ile did not think it possible that the jury, after hearing the evidence which would be laid before them, could have any hesitation that the proceedings were ab solutely necessary for -the security of the property. The Learned Counsel then read documents to show the im possibility for the lunatic to be brought to England in his present state. Dr. Southey, Dr. Blanche, Mr. Smith, and Captain Palmer, a relative of Mr. Webb, was called ; and from their evidence, brought down so late as Monday last, it appeared, that the unfortunate gentleman was in a state amounting to raving madness, and that be had been so from December last, his brother having been subject to the same malady. Mr.1324.c0x argued that there had been great loss of time since the issning of the commission, and that the alleged lunatic ought to have been produced. Air. RomiLLY i c. ing The Learned CommissioNEß addressed the jury, and said that the Learned Gentlemen who appeared for Mr. Webb had the opportunity cf producing him had they thought it prudent or necessary, they therefore. had n) right to complain. He said he would go through the evidence if the jury required. The jury, without retiring, gave a verdict that the said John Webb was of unsound mind, and had been so since the Ist of December, 1845. THE PAVILION. --- Yesterday (Wednesday), a deputation from Brighton, had the honour of a second interview with Lord Morpeth, by appointment, at the office of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, Whitehall. The deputation consisted of Lord Alfred Hervey, M.P., Captain Pechell, M.P., the High Constable (Mr. W. Catt, jun.,) Mr. T. Attree, Mr. Freeman, and Mr. Slight. The deputation were received by Lord Morpeth very courteously; and they then stated very fully the great dread and antipathy entertained by the inhabitants to the sale of the palace. Mr. Slight urged with great force the various conces • sions of land which the town and the Lords of the Manors had made from time to time, in order to enable their Sovereign to complete the palace and grounds, as a reason against the sale of the palace. Lord Morpeth listened with great attention to all the statements made by the deputation, and elicited addi• tional information by asking a few questions, The deputation, having concluded their statements, withdrew.—Brighton Gazette.

We shall bo doing our military a service by showing them what they may expect in the American army-, it they should be base enough to betray their allegiance to the flag of Britain. The Courier says : - "The reserve battalion of the 71st Regiment was sta taloned at Kingston, Canada West, until recently, !vhen it was relieved by the 46th Regt., and is now stationed at Laprairie, with a detachment at St. Helen's. Diiriug informed that time this regi ment was i n Kingston, we are that up to some time in the month of July last, it had lost, by desertion, about seventy men ; but from that month until it s recent arrival in Montrea l , t h e crime had ceased to a_great extent, only three men having since that deserted. W e are to l d that two men of the 71st having purchased their discharges —or having become entitled to them by length of service, have found their way to Sackett's Harbour, a t w hi ch place a recru i t i ng party of the regular army of the United States was stationed. They then enlisted themselves in the service of the republic, and, furnished with civilian clothes, returned to Kingston, where th ey h ung a b out the b arrac k s, and, there is no doubt, persuaded the other men to desert. It was not known to the officers of the regiment that these men had entered the American service, or they would not, of course, have been permitted to remain about the barracks. There is no positive proof that these fellows were sent purposely to seduce their former comrades from th e i r colours, b ut there i s every probabi▪ lity that such was the case, and the mere fact of their havi ng b een permitted to revis i t the Canadi▪ an side of th e l ake after en li stment i n the American service, goes far to prove that such was the fact. It is supposed that the soldiers were tempted by the offer of large bounties and better pay, with other prospects . of advant age; b ut, however, that may be, it is certain that desertion to a very great extent took place. We are told that an officer of the 71st went over to Sackett's harbour, and meeting with one of the Ameri can officers stationed there, asked him if they ever took deserters from the British service into their army; to which he replied that they did not; upon which the English officer took him to the American mainguard, and there showed him three men of his own company. The men very coolly saluted their former captain, and the American officer shrugged up his shoulders, and said that he could not be supposed to know who had been soldiers, out of the numbers of old countrymen who applied to enter their service. This was a false hood, for we deny the fact, that any man who has ever been drilled can escape without being at once discovered by the eye of a man who is himself a soldier. The Eng lish captain saw several more men of his regiment about the barracks, most of whom tried to get out of his way, evidently ashamed of themselves ; while others whom he encountered unexpectedly, could not forget their old habits, drew up as he passed, and soluted him. Some two or three of the men, disgusted at their treatment by the Americans, deserted from them in return and sur rendered themselves. It was then found that the poor deluded fellows had been regularly victimised ; that, although their seducers had promised them a large bounty, &c., yet they were made to pay for so- many articles in the shape of necessaries, and at such extrava gant rates, that their great bounties soon vanished into the pockets of the swindling Yankee quarter masters. They stated also that they were severely treated, being confined to barracks after six o'clock in the even ing, and guard mounted at the gates by American vo lunteers, in order that they should not esca p e a f ter th e discovery of their victimisation. These men, it is sup posed, have all been sent to Mexico ; and if the truth could be known, we believe it would be ascertained that some couple of thousand of the army under General Taylor are English deserters, and that the Americans have a regularly laid and deliberate pl an f or recru i t i ng enticing away En g li s h so ld ier s under are not sorry f or th e rasca l s their ragamuffins m pretences. uffinsby We who desert—no treatmentis bad enough for them, and we only hope Taylor will take them where they will be half-starved and peppered ; but what are we to think of a Government that tacitly encourages crimes of the basest kind in the army of a friendly power, if it does not actually authorise it, which one would almost suppose to be the case. DUTCH AND GERMAN PAPERS. CRACOW.— (FROM THE GALICIAN FR O NTIE RS , N ov . 16.)—This is the day - appointed for the proclamation of the resolution of the three Powers for the incorporation of Cracow with the Austrian monarchy. Count Maurice de Deyme, Town-major of Prague, has arrived in Cracow, as Imperial Commissioner, and will make the formal proclamation at ten o'clock in the morning. The announcement of this is to be sent by express to the capitals of the three powers and will reach Vienna on the morning of the 18th, where the execution of the act of taking possession will be immediately published in the official papers. In the manifesto of the Emperor to the inhabitants of Cracow, that city, with its territory (24 square miles in extent, and 140,000 inhabitants) is de clared to be for ever an indivisible part of his Majesty's dominions. The resolution for the suppression of the Republic was taken, it is said, two or three months ago, but the two German powers are stated to have insisted on a further discussion of the matter in a conference at Vienna ; in order to decide on mature deliberation whether this extreme measure could be by any means avoided. The decision of the conference was again for the absolute suppression of the republic. The reports obtained from the authorities in all parts of Poland, it is said, agreed that as long as Cracow should retain its independent possession, it would not be possible to preserve tranquillity and order in the several parts of Poland. Many reports of the Provisional Government of Cracow, on the impossibility of effectually maintain ing a regular police so long as the uncertainty of a Pro visional Government continued, and the uninterrupted intrigues of the emissaries of the Polish Propaganda, combined with an energetic prosecution of the matter on the part of Russia, are said to have hastened the execu tion of the resolution. As an equivalent for the acquisi tion of Cracow by Austria, Prussia is to have the lord ship of Hohenplatz, a district belonging to Austrian Si lisia, and .fA ß (G u )uH s r s aEe i: a small tract to the north of the Gali cian of SarkspolL—Algemeine Zeitung, Nov 20. tPorTmnucueEnsiscHho rg Nov.

THE HAGUE, Nov. 22.—. The Provincial Tribunal of Guelderland, delivered its sentence on the 19th of this month, in the affair of M. Geptens, Vicar of the Roman Catholic Church of Gruenlow, accused of an attempt to murder, with premeditation. which murder was pre vented by circumstances independent of the will of the accused. The Tribunal upon him guilty , and passed senten ce o f death upon him. After the reading of the sentence, the President addressed the criminal in an affecting speech, informing him that he had the liberty to apply to the King for pardon. He exhorted him to profit by the time which remained to humble himself before God, and to implore forgiveness for his crime. We learn that his Royal Highness Prince Frederick of Prussia will go to-morrow to Arnheim, by the train, whence he will proceed to Dusseldorf, and that the Prince of Saxe Weimar will set out, the day after to morrow, for London. IMPORTANT USES of MAHOGANY. Mahogany, until of late years, has been regarded as a establishedcoow consideration idea,t a a n g d e s rare and costly wood, applicable only to articles of luxury, r e , r a h .ti a o s ni t sitsproved few trades besides that of the cabinet-maker having had any knowledge or experience of its qualities and advan igmffully into h lae t themany useful seeinf fallacyu being atdeo. pecu liar mostthis ec u. a l n k d T in valuable wood which the world is known to produce liar properties, it • can, with truth , be said, that it is one of the cheapest and best materials which can be emplo3ed for the following important purposes :—ln house build ing ; in church building, for pews, benches, screens, and pulpits, and even roofing and flooring ; in ship-building, for the entire frame and planking ; in canal and dock gates; in cabinet work ; and for carving and coach building; in machinery ; in railway and other carriages. The above are some of the principal purposes for which it is used; but now, owing to its low price and better appreciation, it enters largely into the construction of almost every article in which wood is employed. To the ship-builder, the following remarks are respect fully addressed, as the subject is one of paramount importance to the shipping interest of this country. It is well known• that, on account of the scarcity and exorbitant price of high-class woods, the British ship owner is driven into a ruinous and unequal contest with the foreigner, who, possessing inexhaustible forests at home, and having the additional advantage of obtaining his wood untaxed,*as well as of procuring his stores and crews on far more reasonable terms, is enabled to navi gate his vessels at lower freights in almost every part of the world, excepting where our colonial or cheaper -built ships successfully compete with him. It is, therefore, manifest that the ship-builder of this country must look to other sources than those he has been accustomed to; in other words, he must seek his supplies in fresh coun tries, and his policy should be to give every encourage ment to the importation of first-class woods from all parts of the world. The operation of the regulations of "Lloyd's" had hitherto been to confine the building of a " twelve years ship': to a few favourite woods, difficult to procure (excepting in the case of our own oak), thereby limiting the source of supply to a few foreign ports, and even from which the imports are yearly decreasing. Lately, by a relaxation on the part of " Lloyd's," a wider field has been opened for the British ship-builder, and, as immense supplies of the best timber may be procured from the forests of Honduras, Cuba, and St. Domingo, the importers of mahogany ugly require encouragement to furnish the proper shapes and dimensions to an extent almost unlimited. The consumption of mahogany in the royal dockyard is considerable. The highest authorities in the navy have given the strongest written testimonials respecting it, as it is justly held by them in great estimation on account of its durability and strength, having been proved imperishable in ships of nearly a century old. • In addition to the above remarks, it ought to be borne, in mind that mahogany, when properly selected, possesses the important and invaluable properties of great buoy ancy and durability, slowness of ignition, flexibility, and non-shrinkage, as well as being almost totally tree from dry rot and pernicious acids. It is, consequently, pecularly adapted for the frames and planking of steam vessels, as it resists every change of temperature, and does not warp or shrink from excessive heat, or expand from saturation. The importers of mahogany have it in their power to provide ample supplies of the most suitable curves and dimension; and, in!ead of transferring the ship-building treale to our colonies or to foreign powers, we shall, with wise legislation and judicious regulations, have nothing to apprehend from the rivalry of other countries. • Mahogany is found to work as freely and bend as readily as English oak, as may be ascertained by inspect • ing some of the fine ships now being built, practically demonstrating to those who aro sceptical that it can be turned round the most difficult curves without any symptoms of "spelling" or splitting. Its strength is proved by its durability, since it would be scarcely possible for the mahogany timbers of ships of war, which are known to have lasted above a century in a perfectly sound state, to have been • deficient in this essential quality. Messrs. Thomas and John White, the well known ship-builders of Cowes, testify, as the result of a series of experiments, to " the strength of mahogany over English oak, East India teak, American elm, American oak, &c.," and that it is the best wood for ship-building purposes." The non-corrosion of metals is likewise a highly favourable property in this wood, and this has been ascertained by the celebrated chemist, Dr. Ure, who, having tested samples of mahogany which had been submitted for analysis, reports that " a decoc tion of the chips or shavings had hardly auy chemical reaction, and scarcely affected iron and copper." The mahogany which is the best adapted for ship-building is that which is firm, tough, and roey, by which latter term is meant the irregular direction or overlapping of the grain of the wood, the soft or cedar-like kinds being useful for the inside planking, whilst the hard 'and wavy are suited . for the outside planking and timbering. These different properties were well understood by the Spanish shipbuilders, who, by judiciously selecting such logs as were of suitable texture, succeeded in building ships, some of which, even at the present day, are in commis sion in our navy, or, when broken up for age, have had their mahogany timbers used in new ships. And it may not be out of place to mention, on authority, that the other kinds of timber which were in these old vessels were decayed, whilst the mahogany was quite sound. Nor let it be supposed that the old Spaniards cut ma hogany in their islands alone : their archives attest that even to the arsenal in Cuba very much wood, cut on the continent of America, was shipped off for use there in the Spanish navy. Indeed the botanical character of mahogany is essentially the same whether grown on the continent or on the Islands of Cuba or St. Domingo. The opinion of an eminent ship-builder, William Pit cher, Esq., of Northfleet, goes to state, that "sound, hard, and well selected Honduras mahogany is suited for all parts of new twelve years' merchant ships," and "if long and well squared, it is very economical, the offal being of much more value than that of any other wood at present used for ship-building." The specific gravity of Honduras mahogany being less than that of oak and teak, it is calculated that a vessel of 1,000 tons burthen would displace, when afloat, 100 tons water less than if it were built of the latter woods ; and, as buoyancy is one of the highest qualities in a ship, this characteristic feature ought to have much weight with those who are desirous of producing the best speci mens of naval architecture. _ ____ .. We have abridged the above remarks from an excel lent circular recently issued by Messrs Chaloner and Fleming, appended to a list of the woods which are to be sold by them on Monday next and the following day, amongst which are numerous large cargoes of mahogany and several lots of other valuable woods. In addition to the interesting particulars quoted, Messrs. Chaloner - and Fleming point out the utility and beauty of mahogany in the structure of churches and houses, and for machinery and other purposes. It appears that mahogany is now selling several pounds a load cheaper than teak. • The immense forests of South, and those of the greater portion of North, America are practically of no benefit to the British ship •builder, since the ship timber and masts from these countries pay a duty of 265. 3d. per load. sEitIOUS RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT STOCKPORT. A first and second-class train for London, said by some to be a mail train, and by others called a select day train, but not described as either in the time bills, left the London-road station at 20 minutes to ten o'clock on Tuesday morning, and had proceeded to near Stockport station, keeping its proper time, seven minutes to ten o'clock, when it came into collision with another train, which was shunting on to the up line of rails to get out of the way and let it pass. The Stockport station is about a hundred and fifty yards on the other side of the celebrated viaduct over the Mersey, the up and down 'lines being connected about midway of this distance by points, and it appears that a train of empty coal waggons belonging to Lord Vernon had arrived at the Stockport station on their way to Poynton, but the superintendent of the station expecting the passenger train down in a minute or two, directed the driver to shunt on the up line, so that the former might pass him and not be stopped. The engine-man 'proceeded to obey the in structions given him, and was just backing his waggons on up the line, when the train came on at a quick pace, say of twelve miles an hour; all his waggons got clear on the up line, but before he could get his engine and tender clear also the engine of the train was down upon him, and the left corner of his tender came vio lently in collision with the right corner of the passenger train engine, carrying away the buffer, a portion of the wood work in connection with it, driving in the iron work in front, breaking one of the cylinder plates below, and then got clear. The force of the blow drove the engine of the passenger-train against its tender, which was forced under it, and both were lifted up at the end a considerable height, and then fell off the rails, steam and smoke and dust being pretty plentiful from the fire. The force of the collision was communicated at once through the train, and with so great a shock,that the very last carriage in the train, which consisted of five carriages, showed a crack in which a man's finger might be laid. The train had a pretty fair complement of passengers, and immediate attention to their wants was paid by every one connected with the line. So far as we could learn, the injuries sustained were as follows :—Mr. Thomas Tippett Cole, of Torquay, three front teeth in the lower jaw knocked out with the gum, and "a part of the jaw, and his lower lip cut completely through. He was in a second-class carriage which followed the lug gage van next the tender ; and he was thrown violently against the opposite seat and thus received his injuries. 'His wounds were dressed, and he departed for Torquay in the course of the afternoon, taking his teeth in his pocket, for the purpose of having them refixed, we believe, if possible. Mr. Cole bore his injuries with surprising fortitude, and exhibited his three teeth with the usmost nonchalance to the bystanders. A clergy man, a first-class passenger, with a cut on his forehead, and bruises about his legs and other parts of the body; a second-class passenger, a gentleman, a cut above the eye, which is very much enlarged and swollen, and a lady slightly hurt in the face, and bruised on other parts of her person. Another gentleman, Mr. John Stone man, a first-class passenger, hurt on the head, and a lady slightly cut on the head. The names of Mr. John Black and a Mr. Currie, or Cas sidy, were mentioned, but we cannot, with accuracy, say whether they are any of the parties re ferred to above or not. The guard of the train was much injured, and though not presenting any outward marks of violence, it is likely he has sustained severe internal injury. The driver, John Ogden, and James Walton, the stoker of the coal-engine, jumped off, and escaped injury, but Chris. Winterbottom, the driver of the passenger train, was caught between two of the shunting rails and there fixed for some time, and has received a sprain of the right foot; John Fox, the stoker, has also been injured. The case as against both drivers will be fully investigated by the company's offi cers, and proper punishment be awarded.—Manchester Courier. HIGHWAY ROBBERY, AND CAPTURE OF THE THIEVES.—Last week, as the servant man of Mr. Wil liam Forshaw, of Tarleton-hall, Scarisbrick, was return ing from Liverpool market, where he had been with a cart load of potatoes, he was met about half a mile from Aintree race-course, on the Ormskirk-road, by two fel lows, who, alter demanding his money, seized hold of him, and succeeded in taking from him six sovereigns, with which they made off towards Liverpool. After a few minutes' deliberation, he determined to follow them. and tying his horse to the nearest gate, pursued and nearly came up with them at the canal bridge, about half a mile from the place where he was robbed, but he still kept at a distance, unperceived by the robbers. When they arrived at Walton, to the yonng man's great satisfaction, he met with two policemen in the street. He exclaimed, " These two men have robbed me of six sovereigns," when they were immediately taken into custody, and both confessed their crime, and gave up the money, which they had divided. On the following day they were fully committed for trial. It is said that a subscription will be got up in the neighbourhood to re ward the young man for his perseverance and success in capturing the robbers.—Liverpool Courier, A SLAVE -HOLDING D.D. WHIPPING HIS FEMALE SLAVE ON SABBATH MORNING, PREPARATORY TO C PREACHING.—March 28th, 18 43 , in a public address, at incinnati, the Rev. Edward Smith, True Wesleyan, of Pittsburgh, stated, that he had lived in slave States thirty-two years ; and, speaking of a certain D.D., of his acquaintance, he adds:—" He was a slave-holder, and a severe one, too, and often, with his own hands, he ap plied the cowhide to the naked backs of his slaves. O n oue occasion, a woman that served in the house com mitted, on Sabbath morning, an offence of too great mag nitude to go unpunished until Monday morning. The Doctor took his woman into the cellar, and, as is usual in such cases, stripped her from her waist up, and then applied the lash. This woman writhed and winced under each stroke, and cried, 6 0 Lord ! 0 Lord ! 1 0 Lord !1 l' The Doctor stopped, and his hands fell to his side, as though struck with palsy, gazed on the woman with astonishment, and thus addressed her (the congregation must pardon me for repeating his words), Hush, you b—h, will you take the name of the Lord in vain, on the Sabbath day?' When he had stopped the woman from the gross profanity of crying to God on the Sabbath day, ho finished whipping her, and then we nt wad essayed to preach that Gospel to his congrega tion,of the prison doors to them who are bound.'

Yesterday ar ernoon Mr. Mills resumed, at the Duke WL!:inginn, Cral% fcrd-strcct, Portman-squuc, ar. quest, adjourned from last Friday, on the budy of Louisa Mordaunt, aged 35. The CORONER prefaced the inquiry by stating, that when he and the jury viewed the body on Friday, they imagined that the deceased was 55 years of age; but they were much astonished upon ascertaining that she was only 35. Upon further inquiry, it was ascertained that the deceased, her mother and sister, who lived to gether, had been without food, without fire,rand:without clothing. The inquest was adjourned to afford an op portunity to the parochial officers to explain how the family were left in that destitute condition, and in order that some little relief might be obtained for the sur vivors. In conclusion, the Coroner asked Mackenzie, the summoning officer, if he had informed the parochial authorities of the destitute condition of the family? Mackenzie replied in the affirmative. Mary Anne Mordaunt, examined—Deceased was her sister, and expired suddenly daring her absence on the 18th instant. Deceased, witness, and their mother lived together at 93, Crawford-street. Witness went out to needlework on the morning of the 18th, leaving her sister in bed, and upon her return in the afternoon found her dead. They had neither a sufficiency of food, clothe; nor firing. Witness sometimes earned 35., at other times 2s. and Is. a week. Her mother had 2s. 6d. a week from the parish, out of which they paid 2s. 3d. a week rent. By the CORONER—They were totally starved. Her sister, who had been for months unable to work, occa sionally earned 6d. a week. They sometimes got a loaf of bread from the workhouse. On one occasion, Mr. Merson, the relieving officer, said to her, " Mind, I have done with you ; no more relief will be granted you." That fretted her much. On another occasion her de ceased sister, after having been kept waiting at the work house from 9 A.M. to 5 P.M., was sent away unrelieved. She told the workhouse authorities that they were starv ing; but the authorities refused any further relief unless they went into the workhouse. Since Friday last no one called upon them from the workhouse, nor did they receive any relief from it. Mrs. Emma Bryant confirmed the above evidence. Mr. Robert Dawson Harding, surgeon, in a very ela borate statement, detailed the result of the post mortem examination, which distinctly proved that deceased died from starvation. I Mr. Merson, who with several other parochial officers attended, explained his conduct towards deceased and her family, by stating that he had acted in compliance with the regulations of the workhouse. The jury, who severely censured the conduct of the parochial authorities, retired to consider their verdict, and after half an hour's absence, returned, and handed to the Coroner the following verdict : " That the death of deceased was caused by the want of the commonest necessaries of life, and that they re gretted that the parochial authorities of the parish of Marylebone had not evinced sufficient diligence in scrutinizing the wants of deceased." The Foreman said that they equally regretted that the authorities had paid no attention to the wants of de ceased's family since last Friday, although on that day their attention was particularly directed to their destitute condition by the coroner and jury. THE LATE ACCIDENT on the EAST LANCASHIRE RAILWAY. TO THE EDITOR OF-THE SUN. SIR,—In your paper of the 24th inst. I observe a paragraph which purports to give the particulars of an accident which occurred on this railway on Monday, the 23d inst. Your account of the accident is wrong in every partieular, as you will perceive from the statement which I now forward to you. The train in question consisted of four carriages (three second-class and one first), and left the Rawten stall station at lh. 15m. P.M., and proceeded in safety to Summerseat station. About three-quarters of a mile nearer to Bury than Summerseat is Spring Side Bridge, and here it was that the accident occurred. The engine mounted the metals at the north end of the bridge, and ran about 40 or 50 yards after crossing it, and then fell over against the aide of the cutting (if so it may be called), which is about five feet high. The curve here is 80 chains radius. The only person injured is a man who is in the employ of the company, as master carpen ter. He was on the engine at the time, One of his feet were cut off, and the great toe of the other injured. Excepting a few bruises, which none of the passengers thought worth complaining about, this was the only casualty that occurred. The policeman, who is stated to have lost one leg and severely injured the other, only received a bruise on the shin. The carriage next the engine had the pannels in front knocked in, the other three were but slightly injured. The engine and tender did not receive any considerable damage. A special train took all the passengers forward to Manchester, causing them a delay of only thirty minutes. The line was clear and in working order at five o'clock the same afternoon. I have to request the favour :of your inserting this account in your next publication, in order that a report so full of error as the one which has already appeared may not remain uncorrected a moment longer than is possible.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, JOS. SPAWFORTH, General Superintendent. Bury, Lancashire, Nov. 25, 1846. [The paragraph in question was copied from a morn ing paper.—En. Sun.] PROPOSED EXTENSION OF THE ELECTRIC TELE GRAPH TO THE ROYAL PALACES, GOVERNMENT -OFFICES, DOCKYARDS, GARRISONS, &c.—We understand that the Government have recently taken into consideration a series of improvements for effecting an immediate com munication with the royal palaces, Government offices, dockyards, garrisons, and fortresses throughout the kingdom, by means of the electric telegraph. The pro posals are stated to be the extension of the telegraph from the Slough station of the Great Western Railway Windsor Castle in subterranean pipes, the wires being connected with extensions from the Paddington terminus to Buckingham Palace, the Treasury, and the Home-office. Extension of the telegraph on the Great Western and South Devon Railways to the Plymouth Dockyard, with a corresponding extension from Paddington to the Ad miralty. The extension of the telegraph now completed on the South-Western to the dockyard and arsenal at Portsmouth, to the Admiralty. Extension of the telegraph on the South-Eastern Branch line now constructing to Woolwich and Gravesend, to connect the Woolwich garrison, arsenal, and dockyard with the telegraph extension from the London-bridge termini to the War-o ffi ce and the Admiralty. Also a similar extension along the Rochester line to Chatham and Sheerness.• It is also proposed to lay down the telegraph between the War-office and the Tower, which, by the extensive improvement now going on in the interior of that fortress, will become a most efficient garrison. There has been an objection, it is said, raised to the present mode of erecting the wires on poles along the various railways, the demolition of the telegraph being a work of little difficulty. It has been suggested to convey it under ground in a similar manner as the extension from the South-Western terminus is now being conducted under the streets of London, and which has been found to act accurately. By this plan the wires are not only secured from injury, but are less liable to get out of order than those exposed in the open air. According to Act of Parliament, the Government have the power of seizing all electric telegraphs on railways. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE MANCHESTER AND LEEDS RAILWAY.—The first Parliamentary or cheap train from Manchester to Leeds, on Monday morning last, left the station at Manchester, at a quarter-past six o'clock, and arrived at Wakefield about nine, where it stoppod for a short time. Everything had been reported right, and the engine again left the station, but had not pro gressed more than twenty or thirty yards, when it was stopped, in consequence of an unfortunate accident which had taken place in that short space of time. It appears that one of the assisting guards, named James Corns, was proceeding along the foot-board to his break a 3 is the custom, after all has been found correct, when the side of his head or neck came in contact with a lug gage waggon on the siding, and he was struck with such violence as to be knocked from his standing on to the line. Be was thrown urder the wheels of the train by the force of the blow, and one of the heavy horse boxes, and another carriage attached to the tender, passed over his legs, and severed them both from his body, the one above and the other below the knee. Be was at once con veyed to a public-house near the station, where surgical aid having been promptly procured, it was at first thought desirable that amputation should take place ; but as the unfortunate man gradually sunk under the injuries he had sustained, this operation was not resorted to. Corns never rallied from the time of the accident, and died yesterday morning, at three o'clock. He was a young man, not more than twenty-one years of age, and bore an excellent character fur steadiness and sobriety. He had been in the service of the company f or several years, and was fully acquainted Rath the duties which a guard has to perform. An inquest was held at the Hertford Arms public-house, yesterday, before Mr. Lee , coroner for the county, and a resp ec t a bl e j ury. After protractedinquiry, which did not terminate until five o'clock last n ight, during whi c h a m i nute investigation of all the circumstances attending the un h appy occur rence was instituted, a verdict o f " A cc i dental death " was unanimously agreed W.—Manchester Guardian of yesterday. - THE HIGHLANDERS IN SPAIN ; OR, THE RomANCK OF WAR.— Notwithstanding the numerous volumes which have been given to the public relative to the glo rious exploits of the British army in Spain and Portu gal, this new wprk will be found full of novelty and interest. The historical and military details given are the result of the experience of eme who had the honour of serving in that gallant corps to which these volumes more especially relate (the Gordon Highlanders) durirg the whole of its brilliant career. Most of the" military operations, and many of the characters, will be familiar to the survivors of the second division; and brother officers will recognise many old associates in the t onvi vialities of the mess-table, and in the perils of the battle-field. The volumes depict from the life the stir ring events and all the romance of warfare, with the various lights and shades of military service, the prin cipal characters being members of one of those brave regi ments which, from their striking garb, national feelings, romantic sentiments, and esprit de corps, are essentially different from the generality of our troops of the line. — Naval and Military Gazette. THE BANK ROBBERY AT MESSRS. ROGERS'S.-- Yesterday, from information that has recently been obtained that it is expected will throw some light on this mysterious affair, the offer of a reward of 3,000/. together with her Majesty's pardon, was renewed. WRECKS ON THE FRENCH COAST.—On Saturday afternoon the American ship Allen, Heighton, laden principally with cotton, last from New York, was wrecked between Boulogne and Etaples. Her cargo was valuable. When the last account came awe the crew were in the rigging. LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLLS' COURT, Not% ' ) 5. THE KENSAL-GREEN GAS-WORKS.-11,1-INES v. TAYLOR.-... JUDGMENT. ‘• Mr. KINDERS.LEY having replied toAay, His LORDSHIP delivered judgment s He said this was a motion for an injunction to restrain the defendants from proceeding with works which they were erecting near the dwelling-house of the plaintiff: The question involved in this motion was one of great import ance, for the public had the greatest interest in the maintenance •of such legal rights as were contended for in the present case. The plaintiff was possessed of a house in which he re sided, and which was situated a short distance from a piece of land possessed by the defendants, and upon which they proposed to erect a gas manufactpry. Their works were now in progress of erection. The only mis chief that could ensue to the plaintiff was from the ma nufacture of gas, and he had nothing to apprehend from the works considered in themselves, and without reference to what was to be manufactured in them. The manufacture of gas was not to commence till March, consequently the mischief apprehended by the plaintiff was future—speculative —and if the description of works were of that character which would produce unquestionably those effects feared by the plaintiff, the Court would give the relief here sought for. But, looking on all the cases any way analogous, he could not find, with the exception of one particular case, that the Court had granted an injunction before the matter had been decided by a court of law. The principle upon which that (the Rolls') Court acted was clear. It had no jurisdiction to determine what was, or what was not, a nuisance, but had a power to prevent a nuisance when mere legal orders were insufficient to do justice. If it were clear that a court of law could not give those adequate orders, the Court would be right to interfere. The question then really to be con sidered was, whether there was any instance where carrying on gas works was to be regarded as a nuis ance, and no legal proceeding had determined such. It was, no doubt, very disagreable in any case to be sub jected to the effects of the volatile products that arise from the distillation of coal, but whether these effects were necessarily such as would consti tute a nuisance was a different question. He considered that the plaintiff should have given a notice-Ao the company before they had proceeded so far with their works, and incurred the consequent expense. Looking at all the circumstances, it was not in his power to grant the injunction. He should wish to refuse the application in a way that would not preclude the plaintiff, in the event of obtaining a verdict, apply , ing again to the Cotut, or of bringing his case before another judge. Mr. Ilmnansmir applied, on the part of the plaintiff; that the case should be allowed to stand over. His LORDSHIP said he had no objection, and the case was accordingly ordered to stand over. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov. 25. THE QUEEN V. THONPSON. _ - Mr. FLOOD followed on the same side, and urged in support of the discharge of the rule that Mr. Bell did not come into the Court with " clean hands " as he had brought actions against Mr. Thompson, which increased the 821. to 1261., and when an arrangement was made between them it was on the express understanding that, if any interruption took place in the payment of the instal ment, his claim should* increased to 1501. The whole profit made by the defendant, out of the transaction in which Luke was engaged, was only 31. 65., a sum so insignifi eant, that it forbade the inference that a professional man would destroy his character for it ; besides, Luke's name was in the list of voters as proprietor of the land, pretty strong evidence that he, and not Wyman, was the proprietor. Mr. ROBINSON submitted, in support of the rule, that the defendant alone was to blame for not having before now appealed to the proper tribunals if he could prove his innocence. He cited cases to show that the Court had interposed its authority, and struck solicitors off the rolls some years after the offences with which they were charged were committed, and held that this was a case in which the Court should so interpose, because it was incumbent on the Court to see that none but respectable persons were allowed to practise in it. Lord DENMAN stopped Mr. Robinson, and stated that the Court considered the case ought to be remitted to the master, before whom additional affidavits would be necessary. The Court had given its opinion with re:pect to the first objection in the case of " King," and considered that the second with respect to time was not tenable, inasmuch as the proceedings before the Com missioner of Bankruptcy justified the re-opening of the matter. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Nov. 25. WHITE V. HARDING. In this cause, which was tried before Mr. Baron Platt at the Middlesex sittings at Nisi Prius, a verdict for 501. was returned for the plaintiff, for a series of assaults committed upon the plaintiff, who was a process server. Mr. KNOWLES a few days since obtained a rule nisi for a new trial, on the ground - of surprise. Mr. CHAMBERS and another Learned Gentleman hav ing been heard against the rule, and Mr. KNowus in support of it, The COURT ordered the rule to be discharged. BUSINESS OF THE COURT.—The clerk of the court gave notice, that on Saturday next the Court would pro ceed to give judgment in all the causes now standing for judgment on the new trial paper. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 25. JACKSON AND ANOTHER V. MAGNAY-HEREFORD AN] MERTHYR TYDVIL RAILWAY. This was an action brought against Sir Wm. Magnay, as one of the board of management of this line of rail way, to recover for goods sold and delivered on its be half. Shortly after the action was brought a note was sent from the company's attorney to the plaintiff's :at. torney, intimating that if a fresh bill was made out, with the costs incurred in bringing the action, the company would discharge the same. With this understanding the record was withdrawn, and now the defendant movtd for a rule to enter a nonsuit,on his behalf. Mr. Lush moved for the rule on a previous day, alleging that plaintiff was no party to the arrangement with the com.- pany, and that he denied his liability. Mr. White was heard to-day against the rule, and KT. Lush in reply. The maiter was arranged that the rule should 'be discharged on the plaintiff giving a peremptory under taking to proceed to trial in the next term, and ttte Court so ordered. CORK B ARK.—A vessel, from Tangier, has brong ht an entire cargo, consisting of 128 tons weight of co rk bark, or the bark of the cork tree. This article is usually imported in large quantities from Spain, an d other of the Southern States of Europe; but is, II e think, unusual from th e emp i re o f M orocco, in w hisk the port mentioned is situated, and therefore may be particularly noticed. - A letter from Rouen says :—" Since August, 3, forty-six vessels have entered this port, laden with nom, from Brittany, and thirty-one from London with. su miler cargoes. On an average, each had on board. 'me hundred thousand kilogrammes. Advices have been received from London of twenty other vessels with, corn having left for the Seine." 4, TimCOSTS" OF A FARTHING'S WORTH OF DAMAGE.—John and William, sons of John Tyler, of Wimeswould, were charged with damaging the door of the workshop occupied by Enoch Crooks of ithe same place, on the evening of Wednesday, the 4th instant. Mr. Coope appeared with complainant;and Mr.. Hoskins for the defence. The complainant and three or four more witnesses were examined in support of the charge. A boy named George Heathcote deposed that he saw William Tyler throw a stone at the door, and then, with his brother and a boy named Brooks, run away. On cross-examination by Mr.Hoskins witness said he did not know what was. thrown; and he did not see defendant throw a stone.—John Brooks was called in support of the charge, and said he was with William Tyler on the evening in question, but did not see him throv r a stone. He heard something hit Crooks's shop door, 8 aid he ran away with William Tyler as soon as they he: ird it. Enoch Crooks was asked what injury was done to the door, and could not say. Mr. Acworth told hit aif there was no damage done, the bench could not pro( peed with the case. Mr. Cooper suggested sixpence as the amount, but Crooks estimated it as a farthing ; on ci .oss examination by Mr. Hoskins, he said it was not the decor that was injured, it was the door frame. The father of the defendant was sworn, and deposed that Heath(' ote had told him the boys were playing at " stag," that he did not see William throw a stone, and that Heath( :ote also said Mr. Goddard (Crooks's landlord) . had " frightened him out of it." William Hickling, a jei juin', deposed that he had examined Crooks's shop-dooc , and found nothing the matter with it. There was a small indentation in one side of the door frame, but it ' vas no damage. In the course of the hearing of the case it was stated that Crooks had been annoyed by having stones thrownat the shop door last winter and the winter before, and this winter offered the constable ss.for the first offender he could catch. He did not summons Brooks : _b_ bee arse his parents were sorry that he was " in the mes h s " b ahlf .. went In :he T yler ' s t m o o t t h h e e m r,.h e Thesaid, c b a la s c e k l gu as h i m t a e r d de a d bout a v n e 1 the course of it Mr. Hoskins twice raised objections . 0n whenry ho; u r c and account of variations between the evidence . . and the in- Goddardwas sent should be decided on its merits. Mr. formation, but waive d . them, as he was willing the case for out of the market, and denied threatening Reathcote to compel him to come and say William Tyler 'threw the stone. The magistrates convicted both defend ants, and ordered them to pay one farthing damage, and a fine of Is. each and costs [how much were they ?]• " How much were they ?" was our query then as to the amount of costs ; and what does the reader suppose they were ? We have it in our power now to tell them, on e autho rity of the defendant's father. The fines were, it will be perceived, the farthing damage and a shilling each defendant ; the whole sum to pay came, howe , ier, with " costs," to one pound fourteen shillings and a farthing. —Leicestershire Mercury. . GREAT RUNNING MATCH FOR 25/. ASIDE, —Yester day afternoon, the half mile running match, between Harvey, of London, and Williams, of Wandsworth, was decided on Wandsworth Common. At the.start Harvey got the lead, which he kept to the half distance ; his opponent, who had been lying behind, now came up, and took the lead. Williams kept a head the remaining dis tance, and went in the w i nner b y 25 yards. Tine half mile of road was run over by the winner in two - minutes and three seconds. EXPEDITION OP GENERAL FLORES.—RefeI ling to a paragraph which appeared in The Sun a lew days since, as to the seizures of the ships Glenelg, Monarch, and Neptune, we understand the Lords of the Treasury have directed the legal condemnation of the vessels ,t o be proceeded with, and that Mr. Forsyth has receiV€i I the orders of the Board of Customs to bring the Glenels from Gravesend to London as soon as the state of thy tide will admit.
