COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. A Court Ica, bed on Thursday for the dispatch of public business. It sat till a late hour. THE ITATE OF THE CITY PRISONS. Mr. Wigs gave the following notices of motions : "That it be referred to a Special Committee, to be appointed b l this Court, to view and examine the prisons belonging to this city, and to report their opinion as to the accommodation af forded to the prisoners, the opportunities for classification and separate confinement, and whether there exists any necessity for building a new prison, or enlarging or altering the existing prisons, with a view to carrying into effect the improvements in prison discipline which modern experience has suggested on the subject. " That such Committee do also inquire whether any and what alterations are necessary to be made for the accommoda tion of judges, jariea, barristers, witnesses, and the public at the Sessions House in the Old Bailey, with a view to expedite and facilitate the administration of justice, and to save both time and expense to the public. " That Mr. Jehn Clark, the Clerk of the Peace for this City, be requested to make a return to the Court of the number of criminals tried at the Central Criminal Court during the years 1843, 1844, and 1845, the let September in the last year, and distinguishing the number in each year, and before whom tried, the number of days and hours the Court sat each session, how many Courts sat, the number of days and hours during which the Judges appointed by this city sat, distin guishing each Judge by name, and the hours occupied uy each." THE RAILWAY BUSINESS OF THE CITY. Mr. HARTLEY, the Chairman of the Parliamentary Com mittee, brought up the report on the North Kent Railway (City Extension) Bill, proesing to make a terminus in the City of London. 'fhe report stated that the railway was proposed to be laid down to a point between Union street and Peter-street in the Borough, and from that spot over Southwark-bridge to a point at or near Thames-street; that it was the intention to form a large depot in Southwark, at the end of the bridge, for goods and merchandise, and that passengers only were to be carrie d on the brid g e. 'Fhe o p inion of the Committee was, that the proposed plan was not objec tionable, provided the plan and elevation should be approved of by the Court, the existing thoroughfares be not impeded, a sufficient road for carriages and passengers over Southwark bridge be preserved and maintained, and the present acclivi ties be not made more steep, and that proper_clauses be in serted in this Bill to assure all these objects. Mr. Lorr said he regretted to be obliged to differ with the committee, ef which he was a member; but Mr. Tile, the architect, who attended the committee on behalf of the Com pany, not having produced any plan of the mode in which it was proposed to cross the river, it was suggested that the intention was to erect a viaduct over the present foot and carriage-way of the bridge. Now th e c i t i zens o f L on d on pos sessed a noble river, which was one of the great sources of wealth as well as a facility of commerce. He could not con ceive a more hideous deformity, or greater obstruction, to light and air, than a parcel of railway buildings erected upon the top of the Southwark-bridge-4 superstruction, for instance, very similar to that which presented such an eyesore in the Minories. In vain might architects design noble structures to show the magnificent river, if they were to fall beneath the blow of that ruthless destroyer and universal leveller, the rail. way macia. —( Hear, hear, and murmurs. ) Sir P. Litrate said he had uniformly objected to the intro duction ef railroads into the City. He had made a resolute op position to the Blackwall Railway, and his experience had not induced him to alter the opinion he had from the first formed. He understood that the two railways, whose termini were pro posed to be made in Farringdon-street, had been abandoned. What was the cause of that abandonment he did not know, but it looked something like evidence of returning reason. He had made many inquiries upon the subject of the City of London ter mini, and he gathered frown these inquiries, that of the 500 acres of which the City consisted, 200 would actually be occu pied by railway companies.—(Laughter and cries of " Hear.") The City, with its dense population and its enormous com merce and traffic, was not the place for railways, and he re joiced to find that the projects of the Regent's Canal Railroad, which was to have had it terminus in Aldersgate-street, as well as the projects of the Farringdon-street plan, had been given up. He did not care to what committee the report should be referred for examination as to its merits ; he only hoped, and he had confidence in that hope, that the City of London would not be torn in pieces in order to effect what was called improvements.— (Hear and murmurs. ) Mr. T. H. HALL said he had seen no cause to alter his opinion, that it was inadvisable to introduce railroads into the City. On the contrary, he was more confirmed in the opinion which, crude as it was, he had originally expressed. The City of London was well occupied commercially. There might be here and there lane• mad confined places which re quired alteration, and were differently occupied, but the City could not be said to be other than in every respect en gaged in commercial occupations, and a more complete impediment to its traffic could not be proposed than that which projects like the present was calculated to produce. The proposed plan was represented in the report as unobjectionable. He was of opinion that it was in every respect objectionable, and that the adoption of it would place the whole of that pro perty at the disposal of the Company without conferring any advantages upon the public. Mr. PEWTRESS said the more wise course in which to pro ceed in the present matter was not to generalise on determining upon its merits, but to consider it upon its simple and particular recommendations. They aught not to be frightened by every railroad movement with the idea that the City of London was about to be cut up, and appropriated as one vast terminus. The terminus projected in this particular case before the Court would be productive of no inconvenience whatever. It would have quite a different effect. The commerce, which it was cornplaned would be injured, would undergo a great increase from the numerous facilities afforded by a railroad at the very doors of the citizen.—( Hear, hear.) The improvements in the City would be accelerated by it. What a vast accommoda tion to traffic was the erection of London-bridge and the im provements in its approaches. The new street had greatly added to the commercial advantages of London, especially since the establishment of railway termini near London-bridge, thus exhibiting evidence of mutual benefits. If the railroad over Southwark-bridge was established, the commerce would be still more important, and there could arise no disadvantage which would not be far counterbalanced by the good derivable from its vicinity to the place of active business.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Assuan said the City was destined to be a city of warehouses, and there could be no prevention to that doom. The Court could not help it. They must recollect that the question now before them must go before Parliament, whether they consented to entertain it or not. They saw the tendency of the age, and they could not arrest the progress of improve ment. Their policy was, inasmuch as they could not determine whether the terminus of the North Kent Railway should or should not come into the City, to present no obstacle to pro jects supposed to be likely to cause extraordinary commercial facilities—to offer no opposition calculated to interfere with the advantages to the Corporation, in the event of the success of the plan.—( Hear, hear.) They had a fund of 20,0001. a year, to lay out in improvements, and they were to consider that London was the centre of commerce. They must promptly at tend to all applications to accomplish rapid communication with that centre of commerce ; and if they hesitated their privileges would be subject toattack;and annihilation. They would, in fast, be pronounced to be obstructives to improvement ; and, like the Tories, completely swept away.—(Laughter, and cries of " Hear, hear," and " No, no.") Mr. R. TAYLOR said the present opposition to the railway improvement proposed reminded him of what had taken place when the proposal was made to build the docks. At that period a party in the Court, unfortunately a small one, endea voured to prevail upon the Court to aid the petitioners in their application to Parliament, and if the assistance required had been rendered, the Corporation of London would new be the proprietors of all the docks. The Court, however, refused, and what was the consequence? The merchants and traders want to Parliament, and represented the strong necessity which existed, in consequence of the crowded state of the Thames. Deputy PEACOCK presented a memorial from the president and governors of the Corporation School for the grant of ground in Liverpool-street for the purposes of a school-house. Mr. Jotty Dixos opposed the petition. He stated that Sir Aaron Rowe, who had been Lord Mayor of London, made a present of the ground as a burial place for certain of the citi- :sena., and so delighted was Lady Rowe with the bequest that she directed that her body should be deposited there. It would, then, he considered, be r sort of desecration of the ground to turn it aside from the purposes for which it was in tended, and disturb the bones of Lady Rowe, by whose hus band it had been left in trust to the Corporation.—( Hear.) The petition was rejected. UNION OF THE PRIVILEGES OF THE CITY OF LONDON AND THE BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK. The LORD MAYOR. presented a petition from the inha bitants of the Borough of Southwark, with the view of accomplishing a very important object. The petition, which was of considerable length, and recited the various charters under which several kings granted the town of Southwark to the citizens of London, concluded in the following manner :—" Your petitioners, therefore, pray that your Honourable Court will take such prompt measures as shall seem most advisable for effectually uniting the Borough of Southwark with the City of London, according to the in tentions of the charters hereinbefore referred to, and in giving to the inhabitants of the Borough an adequate repre . sentation in the councils of the City ; aed that all the inha bitants of the Borough may have and enjoy such and the same rights in the laws, franchises, and privileges as belong to the citizens, resident within the City ; and that the inhabitants exempted from all burdens, personal and pecuniary, inconsis tent with those rights and privileges as citizens of London; and that your petitioners may be at liberty to attend any Com mittee of your Court, to whom the matter of the petition may be referred, with such further statements and proposals, and documentary and other evidence, as they may be advised." Sir P ETER L AURIE had no objection taisend the petition to committe e , but he knew the fate it merited would await it wherever its merits underwent examination. After having opposed the principle o f authority i n the Boroug h, on the grounds stated by him at a late Cou r t of Aldermen , Nir Peter Laurie read the unani mous report made, and agreed to, during the able Town- clerk ship of Mr. Woodth or accompaniedi Pe4V advised th e re j ec ti on o f th e pro position, such reasoning as convinced the Corporation at once ef the keeping the o f t h e sc h eme. H e condemned the noti on . of the it the T own- h a l l as a refuge for the pauper peerag e a nddescribed th e con di t i on of the City Magistrat es , who vlsitei the .Borough f or th e pur pose of dispensing justice, as ridiculous argued, too, that if the pray er of the . puletitthioeneelstrwemeree, to i b ie e granted, it would be ne cessary to add to the number of Al dermen. _ _ Mr. R. TAYLOR. said the citizens of London could easily spare some of their Aldermen to the it very (Laughter.) °rou g h._ Mr. WIAA WAS rejoiced to find that Sir Peter Laurie h a d aga i n classed hinsself with the Liberals, and that the feelings of his yo uth were revivin g in his mature generous was glad that Sir Peter was so liberal as not to oppose a the "e ference of the pe tition. The p etitioners, he wishe d it to r h e a understood, represented not the Parliamentary boundaries, but the ancient borough. which consisted of five parishes, with a population not exceeding 73,000 souls. The petition evinced that the borough people desired to be incorporated with the City, and stated that many of them were freemen of the City, and anxious to partake of its privileges as well as bear its bur dens. As for the legal difficulties stated by a former able town-clerk to stand in the Way of amalgamation, and the adoption of that opinion by a former committee, ne might use fashionable language, and say that was no reason why another committee, or indeed the same committee, should not come to a different conclusion.—(Laeghter.) He might say, as a great statesman lately said, that he would not steer in 1846 by observations made in 1843. He might say that s'neit the former consideration of the subjecc much new information had been obtained as well from the Corporation records as from other s.mirees. They had also a new town-clerk, whose anti quarian and legal knowledge, and whose known attachment to ancient rights, would' materially assist them in ascertaining Tie ether the p e titio ners ' o bj ec t cou ld b e a tt a i n ed.h might say, that when Southwark was annexed to the City itself, it stood, surrounded by good stone 'walls and outward defences , but since that period four other cities, each larger than the original one, had sprung up around it--its populatio n also had decreased. It was w i se , th ere f ore , to seek to strengthen themselve s by adding to the City the borough of Southwark, terest in defending all that giving both varies a common in precious and valuable in local self-government, and in i r f ? t itlri s r! the encroachments of arbi trary to discuss the lega litytrary power.--( Hear.) to do it.

It was true that the chair had been for wears the refuge for the pauper peerage of the City. On the Clo.th of the two last pensioners, it was, as he had heard, the inteotion of the Court to give 8002, a year to two membe rs of the Court : but there being no unanimity upon that subject, it was roposed to divide the 8001. a year equally amongst the Aldermen' who had passed the chair, but Sir Peter Laurie, who hated a pb, and did not wish to participate in the labour, seized upon the clause before mentioned, and the sittings in the Tuwn-hall were discontinued.—( Laughter.) On the grounds of public policy, and because he believed the incorporation of the borough with the City would really strengthen the latter to accomplish many useful objects for the benefit of themselves and the great com munity by which they were surrounded, he supported the motion. The sooner Bridge Ward Without was made not a sinecure ward, but really efficient withrepresentatives, and the sittings of the Aldermen resumed, the better, or perhaps those who were struggling for a participation of privileges might apply to another quarter, and thus dissever themselves from the City for ever.—( Hear, hear.) Sir PETER LAURIE declared that he had actually brought back the Aldermen to the borough after they had left it. The petition was then referred to a committee. LACY INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF Q UEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 21. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, Guildhall, before Lord DENMAN and a Special Jury). FOSTER V. THE BANE OF ENGLAND. In this ease Mr. Sergeant Shoe and Mr. Pearson ap peared on behalf of the plantiff, and the Solicitor- Getieral and several other counsel for the Bank of England. . The allegation of the plaintiff was, that she held I , certain stock in the Bank of England, on which she had received various dividends from time to time, or rather that her husband, who died in 1838, had received them, and that she subsequently had received dividends in the years 1839, 1840, and 1841; hut that when she applied, after the latter periA, to sell out her stock, she was told that her stock had been bold out in January, 1839. This she positively denied, and therefore took au action for the recovery of 3731 195., as the amount which she alleged still remained in the hands of the Bank belonging to her. She also alleged that eke applied for an in spection of the books of the Bauk, but was refused. The SOLICITOR-GXMAL, on behalf of the defendants, said he would prove by competent witnesses that on the 23d January, 1839, the plaintiff had sold out her stock, and that her account was closed then, and that therefore she had misinstructed her counsel. The plaintiff sued in forma pauperis, and therefore would incur no expense if the action went against her. She complained of having been refused access to certain books ; but that was done in order to:prevent fraud, and was the practice of the Bank ; but all the books to which it was neces sary she should have access were offered her. A question of idontity might arise ; but it would almost be impossible for clerks to identify all the parties who transfer stock, for the number was enormous during the year—there were nearly 300,000 stock-holders, and millions were transferred every year ; and therefore a mark of identity was put in the book and on the warrant at the time of transfer. That warrant would be pro duced, and so would Mr. Oxlay, who had identified the plaintiff. He had been dismissed from the Bank, but not owing to this transaction. lie (the Solicitor- General) would now proceed to call his witnesses. The first witness called was Mr. G. F. Clerk, sworn—l am the principal clerk in the New Three-and-a-Half per Cent. Annuities office. Pro duces a copy of the late Samuel Foster's account, and a copy of the transfer of stock in 1838 to his wife, and William Oxley was the person who identified the par ties ; Mr. Oxley had up to that time been a clerk in the office for 87 years ; he was dismissed in June, 1141. Produces the book, showing the sales of stock in January, 1839, to plaintiff, and witnessed by Oxley. Upon that occasion a lady came to me, who stated she was Mrs. Foster, and that Mr. Oxley had sold her stock and paid her a greater amount of interest than the Bank paid, but that she had lost all her money; she made the same statement to the chief accountant, and appeared to be in great distress. Cross-examined—Mr. Oxley had access to all the transfer books, and he could show other books like the transfer books, if he chose, to an illiterate person, like tho plaintiff; he was dismissed for having absented him self. I have understood that his accounts with other parties were not found to be correct. Re-examined—There are two witnesses to the plain tiff's signature to the transfer, which is the practice when the signature is a mark. Mr. Ripen, one of the witnesses, corroborated the %Love. In July, 1841, the plaintiff came to the Bank and a Mr. Oxley had sold her stock. Cl ~.ms-examined—Could not say that the party who came in 1841. and who signed the book in 1839, were the same party. Re-examined—The number who come to transfer is very great. Mr. Durat—Was present at the transfer and wit nessed it ; does not know the plaintiff personally. Mr. Oxley, examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL-1 was 37 years a clerk in the Bank of England. I knew plaintiff's husband two or three years, and herself also for five or six years ; she attended on my mother. I remember Mr. Foster's death, it took place in July, 1838. Plaintiff took out administration. De ceased was possessed of stock in the Bank at the time of his death. Plaintiff sold 1001. of the stock to pay the expense of the administration. I identified her on that occasion. I also identified her upon other occa sions of transfer of two sums of 20/. each, and of the 2001. to herself. She afterwards applied for the balance of 115 L, and it was transferred, and I identified them. In about two months after she came to me and brought me between 501. and 60/., with which I purchased stock for her. She complained of the low rate of interest she was receiving, and I said I could procure her higher in terest. She came on the 13th January, 1839, to me to the Bank, for the purpose of selling out her stock, and the transfer book now before me was placed before her, and she put her mark upon it, and " Hannah Foster " was written across it by another clerk, and I identified her. A person named M'Neill, a stockjobber, was the party who purchased upon that occasion. M'Neill paid the money. After this I paid the plaintiff 10/. interest half yearly. I made her four such payments up to January, 1841. I left the Bank in June, 1841. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant SHEZ—I am not aware that she was an illiterate person. I believe she could read. I withdrew from the Bank in 1841, and went to Canada. I went without informing the Bank. I lived at Chelsea before I went to Canada, with my wife and children, and I left them there. You may call it ab sconding if you please. I left because I was in embar rassed circumstances. A Mrs. Hanby had an account at the Bank. She had 700/. stock, and I got it. I did not pay it to her I did not attest her identity, but my broker did it. Did he know her by any other way than by your telling him 2-4 don't know. I gave her no security for her money. How long was that before you absconded 2—About four or five years. I gave Mrs. Foster no security, nor did I tell her how it was to be invested. The transaction took place at her own apartments, and there was no person present. Well, if you will have it, I told her I would procure her that interest for her. It was under stood between us that her money would be secure. I was insolvent at that time. I did not owe more than about 2,000/. at the time.—(Laughter.) When I paid the plaintiff the interest I used to make her put a mark in a small book. She did this four times before I ab sconde I. Re-examined—A person receiving a dividend signs a book mid a warrant. To the COURT—I returned from Canada in 1842. To Mr. Sergeant SUER-I have no been to see Mrs. Foster since. Mr. Swee--I am chief accountant in the Bank of England. I recollect Mrs. Foster coming to my office and stating that she had lost all her stock. I found that her stock had been properly transferred, and told her that the Bank could afford her no relief. I do not re collect anything of a memorial. Cross-examined—l don't recollect that I said I could not show the books unless the Bank got a release. I don't recollect that the gentleman now pointed out to me in Court called upon me for that purpose. I don't re collect an attoreey appl) lug to me for the purpose. You don't recollect anything ?—I don't.—(Laughter.) Do you recollect Mr. Oxiey?—l do.—(Laughter.) I never saw him since his return from Canada until this day. Mr. Bockett, clerk in the Bank, paid the dividend to the party whose name appeared on the warrant. here the ease closed. Mr. Sergeant SHED having replied, His LORDSHIP briefly summed up, and said the ques tion lay iu a very narrow compass. The question was, whether it hrel been proved to the satisfaction of the jury that the plaintiff had transferred her stock, and that she was aware of it ? No doubt the jury should regard the evidence of the witness Oxley with gnat suspicion ; but they should also consider whether they had evidence sufficient without that of Oxley to convince them that this transfer had been made. And here he should ob serve that it would be just as well for the Bank, in all su .h transactions, to afford the fullest information pos sible to all partie; making such applications. The jury retired, and in about half an hour returned into Court with a verdict for the defendant. ICIBB V. HERBERT This was an action for the recover). of 2061., due by a promissory note. The defendant did not appear, and the jury found for the plaintiff. COURT O F COMMON PLEAS, Feb. 21. BROUNE V. EVE. The hearin g o f this action, brought against the pub lisher of - the Globe newspaper, for an alleged libel on the conduct and motives of the plaintiff as an active promoter of the " British and American Colonisation Association," commenced on Saturday, about half-past two, and had proceeded as far as the part cross-exami nation of the plaintiff's first witness, 1)r. Rolph, when Sir THOMAS WILDE said that the suggestion which he, on behalf of the defendant, had made to the plaintiff was just accepted, and therefore a juror might be w ith draw n• The terms of the sug gest i on, however, did not transpire. A juror w'as accordingly withdrawn, a n d t h e cause term inated about three o'clock. COUNT OF BANKRUPTCY, Feb 21 . (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IMPORTANT QUESTION AS TO ACTS OF BANKRUPTCY.—AII application was made to the Learned Commissioner to sign an affidavit of an act of bankruptcy against a person in the City, but whose name did not transpire. The affidavit set forth that on the 18th inst. a creditor called at the ware house and made an inquiry for the party, and was told that ho was out. On calling the next morning, deonent was in formed that he was out and bad gone abroad, p leaving word that he would not return for a fortnight or three weeks. It had, however, been ascertained that he was within when he was called upon the first time, and that a man was in pos session under an execution. It was conteaded that this amounted exec to an act of bankruptcy, and that the fact of an being put in alone was sufficient. o C 3111ISMONEft went through a variety of T cases b u s t larne d. , and after a consultation with the Registrar, said he did not consider the act of bankruptcy made out—the man be ing in possession was not in itself sufficient—it must be shown that at the very moment tLe party left home to go abroad it was his intention to delay his creditors. In this case it was shown that he said he should not be back for a fort night or three weeks, which might be taken that he would return at that time, and he would not be prevented from taking his pleasure ; the intent to delay must be more clearly shown. (Before Mr. Commissioner FANE.) COUILTS OF BANKRUPTCY AND COURTS OF REQUESTS. —ln a case which came before this Learned Commissioner to ei:force the judgment of the Brixton Court of Requests, he obs:rved that the Act only gave him power where the other Court had competent jurisdiction. It was, therefore, necessary to prove before him that the debt was one over which the Court laud cognizance, that the defendant resided within the jurisdiction, and that all the forms had been duly observed. The production of a piece of paper proved nothing ; he must be in possession of all the facts, or he might be lay ing himself open to en action. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. On Saturday, Mr. John Southgaie, of Old 'Change, appeared before the Lord Mayor and Alderman Fare brother to answer the complaint of Mr. Archibald White, of Great Missenden, in the county of Bucking ham, gentleman, for that he (to use the words of the summons) within the space of six months from the day of the date hereof (14th of October), in this city, did act as, and was a promoter of, a certain jointsstock com pany, to wit the Grand Junction, Great Western, and South-Western Railway Junction Company, and that the intention and proposal to form the said Joint-Stock Company, did not, nor have, within one month, or sub sequently, after some one, or more than one, and all the particulars required to be registered in accordance with, and pursuant to, the statute 7th and Bth Victoria, chap ter 110, section 4, was, or were, decided or ascertained and determined, return and register such particular or particulars pursuant to the said statute, whereby he had become liable to forfeit fur every such offence a sum not exceeding 201. The justice-room was, from an early hour, crowded with provisional directors, shareholders, engineers, and others connected with railroads, and an immense interest was excited. Mr. Duncan appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Wordsworth attended on behalf of the defendant. It is necessary to state that, previously to the passing of the above-recited Act, many projects were advertised ostensibly for the purpose of forming companies, but, in reality, for the purpose of swindling the public, and that one great object of the Act was to cheek such evil, and amongst other great objects were the following :—To prevent parties' names from being used in a prospectus without their knowledge and consent, and also their participation in the risk of the project ; and to insure that, the Act requires each to sign a written consent and agreement to act and share the risk, the Legislature, of course, presuming that inasmuch as shares would not not sell without the names of persons of wealth and in fluence in the prospectus, and that such persons would not allow their names to appear in, or consent to participate in the risk of any project which they had not themselves ascertained to be good, the public would have some guarantee that projects put forth with the names of persons of wealth and influence were good. To enable the creditors of, and persons deal ing with parties projecting companies to ascertain readily, and at the same time with certainty, who were the parties putting forth projects, and whether the en gineers whose names appeared on the prospectuses were in fact acting fcr the respective companies, to enable landowners and others, whose properties pi ojected com panies proposed to interfere with, to ascertain nearly and with certainty whom they had to deal with, and to enable them to avoid the loss they would sustain in pre paring for an opposition to a company, and then finding such company to be a more bubble, and that the narevs on the prospectus were those of fictitious persons, or of persons ignorant of the fact that their names were on it, and that in reality the project was never intended to be carried out, but was merely set going to induce the public to take a sufficient number of shares, the de posits on which would pay the preliminary expenses. Many persons of wealth and influence having virtually consented to the appearance of their names as connected with companies, without any idea of the serious risk they ran, and under the idea that as they signed no document and attended no meetings, and in no way acted, they incurred no risk, the Act intended to prevent that by requiring all such persons to sign such documents as should inform them of it. The Act also required all prospectuses, advertisements, &c., &c., to be registered before publication to prevent projectors and companies from issuing papers containing statements they dared not avow, and which, after they had served the purpose of deceiving the public, they could disavow. It likewise aimed at preventing unscrupulous persons of wealth and influence from conniving at the use of their names in prospectuses, with a view if the project turned out well, by participating in the profits, and if it turned out badly, of avoiding responsibility by so acting as not to suffer any evidence of their having so connived at the use of their names to be procurable. As the gentlemen of the bar engaged in the case were the whole of the day occu pied in arguing upon points of law, which had no refe rence to the merits of the question, we give an analysis of the statement made to the Lord Mayor by the com plainant himself upon applying for the summons against the defendant and another gentleman described as one of the promoters of the company. Mr. White, who was on the occasion alluded to ac companied by a great number of individuals described as surveyors employed upon the line, stated that the mo tives they all had for the prosecution were to obtain from the prosecutor's moiety of the penalty in that and simi lar prosecutions against other members of the provisional committee of the company a sum sufficient to enable the surveyors to sue the company for the money due for the survey, amounting to about 3,0001. It was needless to observe that of the eighty persons thus employed and thus unrewarded, many suffered severe inconvenience. The company's excuse for their refusal to pay was, that the survey was not in time for going before Parlia ment in the present session. With the exception of a very small part of the section the survey was complete, and the delay of the company in having the survey commenced, and the very gross neglect of their duties by the engineers, especially the latter, were the real causes of the break down, and the company sought to throw the loss on the working surveyors. The Messrs. Dempsey, the surveyors who took the contract, were unable to sue the company for want of funds, and it was proposed that they should assign the debt to trustees, for the benefit of the parties who did the work, and that such trustees should sue Many of these parties were in absolute want, their homes being in Ireland, Y o rk s hi re , an d o th er di s tant places, and having no money to defray their expenses home or to enable them to stay here. If the proposed application of the moiety of the penalty in the case should be illegal, Mr. White would willingly devote it to the poor-box. Upon bearing this representation, The LORD MAYOR told the complainant that in such a case, to which an Act of Parliament of an extremely complicated and unintelligible nature applied, it would be advisable in him to employ counsel. Mr. Wordsworth, the learned counsel for the de , fendant, rose to object to the wording of the summons. Ile was not urged to make the objection from any ap prehension that his client would sustain injury horn a strict consideration of the merits of the case, but the act was penal, and he was justified, as a professional man, in taking advantange of any informality. It should, he wished to impress upon the magistrates, be remembered that the proceeding was instituted by an informer, who, in case of conviction, would be entitled to a moiety of the penalty. Alderman RenEnnoTetnn—ls the complainant a pro prietor in the company ? Mr. White—No, Sir ; but I am deeply interested. I have been diddli d out of a great deal of money by the company. Mr. Wordsworth said, the objection he made was upon the face of the summons. In ordinary cases, the mode of proceeding was by information, and informations were required to be set out with all the particulars necessary in an indictment. By the Act 7th and Bth Victoria, affecting Joint-Stock Companies, proceedings by infor mation were dispensed with ; and he contended that as proceedings by summons were substituted, it was indis pensable that the offence, or the offences charged, should be described with as much certainty in the summons as in other cases was required in the informations. Thy learned counsel then, at considerable length, contended that the words " one and all the particulars rcquire 1 to be registered, in accordance with and pursuant to the statute," did not by any means adequately point out the offence, and that the Act required a detail of the parti cultists. Alderman FAREBROTHER presumed that the company was abandoned 2 Mr. Wordsworth said that such was the case, because they were nut ready at the period limited by Parliament. Ile Assured the magistrates that the Company was rt boots fide concern, and no bubble. Mr. Duncan contended that the summons sufficiently described the offence with which the defendant was charged. There were several charges, all of which could be proved. There was no registration of the company, no registration of the names or occupations of the promoters, and, in fact, the case was overwhelmed with instances of the violation of the Act of Parliament The LORD MAYOR and Alderman FAREBROTHER decided that the summons sufficiently described the offence or offences with which the defendant was charged. Mr. Duncan then briefly stated the case of the com plainant, and declared that it was evident that not one of the essentials required by the Act as to registration had been performed. Mr. Wordsworth here produced a register, which purported to be signed by Mr. Smith, who was desig nated as the registered solicitor of the company, which, it appeared, had changed its name twice, and made some alteration in the line of road each time. It was admitted that Mr. Smith had signed himself as the registered solicitor by mistake, and both counsel de clared that not the slightest blame was attribteable to that gentleman, whose respectability was unques tionable. Mr. Wordsworth said he would satisfy the magistrates as to the correctness of the registration by the evidence d r. o c f o M w w p s te. o ss e r . a g p :e r a op T n cio a d ui yncecoedidrl, by e were e s h t e a d u ßu t l •registrar yarids ou of Trade. r a o vd f i ez.

' made in a company, either one of the promoters or the registered solicitor to the company attended. Mr. George Smith stated that he had been solicitor to Mr. Davy, the prrtjector of the Trunk Union Railway, who died in November. The alterations in the register had been done by witness or his clerk. Cros-examined—The Trunk Union Railway Company was commenced and was intended to be proceeded with, but was merged in the Grand Junction, &c. They were essentially the same company. Here a question arose as to whether the document produced was such a one as could be considered a bond fide register. Mr. Goodman, the chief clerk, said that the difficulty which presented itself was simply this : that the Act of Parliament authorised a solicitor, who was duly regis tered as such, to take all the necessary steps required by the statute, instead of the promoter : but in this case the solicitor had taken upon himself the alteration in the style of the company without having complied with the provisions of the Act by being himself first regis tered as the solicitor. Mr. Duncan said he would waive any advantages which might accrue to his client upon that point, feel ing confident that he could s t an d upon t h e mer i ts o f the case, _ • Mr, Goodman—lf that be waived, then surely the de fendant has complied with the Act of Parliament, for he produces a certificate of registration, by the name of the Trunk Union Railway, and a certificate that a proper return has been made of the name, business, and de tcription of the promoter; al►o proof that the name of that company has been altered to the Grand Junction, Great Western, and South -Western Railway Company, that such alteration has been duly registered, and that the two companies are evidently the same. Mr. Alderman FAREBROTHFR said that he could not at all see that any act had been committed, or omitted, by the defendant, from which any improper motive could be inferred. The Loaf MAYOR stated that the Act of Parliament was in itself replete with difficulties, and the wordirg of the section upon which the summons had been issued was so incomprehensible, that he thought it better that the case should stand over for a week, when he would be prepared to give the decision. The case lasted till late in the evening. CR 0 YD ON. On Saturday Mr. Edward Bzlson, an inspector of the P division of police, attended before Messrs. Adams, Sutherland, Lucas, Barclay, and Simson, at the Town hall, Croydon, to answer a charge preferred against him by a man named Weston, who was formerly a sergeant in the same division, of having been drunk while in the execution of his duty on the morning of Sunday, the 30th November, and also with tossing for brandy and water in a public-house, and abusing the landlady. An inquiry into the same subject has been for some time in progress by the Commissioners of Police, anonymous letters having been sent to them, in which a variety of charges, of a very serious nature, were made against the inspector, and they eventually sent the whole matter before the magistrates ; one ground for their doing so being that the evidence they had obtained was so contradictory, and the witnesses prevaricated so much, that they could make nothing of them, and, there fore, they wished the Bench to make a full inquiry. Mr. R. Russell of Croydon, attended in support of the charge, and Mr. Robinson, an attorney, appeared for the defendant. Mr. Robinson, the superintendent of the division, attended to watch the proceedings on behalf of the Commissioners of Police. _ _ George Wesfon, the complainant, deposed, that in November last he was a sergeant in the P division of police, ender inspector Bilson, and on the night of the 29th of November, he was on duty with him, and according to his directions he went to the Bricklayers' Arius public-house, where the defendant said he would come to him. After waiting there some time he went to another public-house, called the New Inn, where he found the inspector very drunk. They went away from that house to the B r i c kl a y e r s ' Arms, the inspector being at the time very drunk; and while they were standing at the bar the inspector challenged two persons who were standing there to toss for brandy and water, and he did eventeally toss with them, and they had five or six glasses of brandy and water, three of which the in spector lost. He also said that the landlady asked him to pay two shillings for two of the glasses of liquor, and he refused to pay her, and made use of very foul language to her. This all took place at two o'clock on Sunday morning ; and he said the inspector was so drunk at the Bricklayers' Arms, that he could not stand or keep him self upright without leaning against the door-post ; and he had very great difficulty in getting him home to the station. The witness underwent a very severe cross-examina tion from the inspector's attorney, and he admitted that he made no complaint of this occurrence until more than two months after he represented it to have taken place, and that he at first refused to give any statement in writing ; and it turned out, after a good deal of fencing with the questions put to him, that he made no com plaint at all until he had been himself suspended, and subsequently dismissed from the police, upon the report of Inspector Bilson, for borrowing money from publicans end from constables in his division. lie likewise ad mitted that he had been before broke and reduced to the rank of a private constable for misconduct, and that he had been charged with receiving money im properly, and that he was once, while engaged as a constable, sentenced by Mr. Twyford to a month's imprisonment in the House of Correc tion, for receiving money from the keeper of an im proper house, against whom he held a warrant ; but the sentence was not carried out by reason of its being as certained that the complaint had not been made within the period specified by the Police Act, and therefore he was set at liberty, but dismissed from the police, and he then commenced an action against Mr. Tvvyford, and soon after this he was again re-instated as a police-con stable, and appointed to the P division. Mr. Robinson pressed the complainant to state whether he was not re-appointed, after the occurrence before Mr. Twyford, upon the condition that he should abandon the action he had commenced against that gen tietnan?—The complainant denied that he had any such understanding, and said that Sir James Graham insti tuted an inquiry into the matter, and was so satisfied with his character and conduct, that he ordered him to be re-instated as a constable. said — lllr.Rdainson inquired wh e th er after this the action which had been commenced was n o t i mme di ate l y aban doned?—The ? ADAMS T 'e complainant r e pli e d that it was. Aid he did n o t t hi nk they ought to go such an inquiry as this. It app eare d qu i te clear that brought an action agai nst M r. Twyford, and that into t lb.; rad. d after he was re-appointed as constable, he abandoned that action ; it was hardly necessary to inquire any fur ther into that matter. In answer to further questions, the complainant ad mitted that he had been reported several times for mis conduct, and the only reason he gave for not having made this charge before was, that ho did not wish to hurt the inspector. Some witnesses were then called with a view to corro borate the testimony of the complainant, but although some of them spoke to the fact of the tossing taking place, they contradicted each other in many material particulars, some of them stating that the inspector was quite drunk when he left the New Inn, and others that he was perfectly sober. It likewise appeared that some of the witnesses, when they were questioned by the superintendent upon the subject, had positively declared that the inspector did not toss or misconduct himself at all on the night in question, and that they had no complaint to make against him. It was also shown that the reason why Mr. Bilson went to the New Inn at all on this night was, that he was sent for on account of a robbery having taken plaeo there, and that he afterwards went to the Bricklayers' Arms, to see if there were any lodgers of suspicious cha racter staying there. Mr. Robinson, on behalf of the defendant, urged upon the b 4 pelt that there was no foundation for the charge against him, and that it had been trumped up by the sergeant out of revenge at his having been the cause of his dismissal. The superintendent of the division was then examined, and he deposed to the contradictory statements made by the witnesses, and said that one of them declared to him, calling God at the same time to witness what he said, that no tossing or misconduct whatever took place on the night in question. He also gave the defendant an ex-ellent character for the period he had belonged to his division. Two sergeants, who were on duty at the police-sta tion on the ❑ight in question, which they remembered particularly on account of the circumstance of the rob bery, one of the patrol, and a constable, who was on duty at the time, were then examined, and they swore that - Mr. Bilson was perfectly sober at the time in question. _ _ After a short deliberation, Mr. ADAMS said the magis trates were unanimously of opinion that this charge should be dismissed, and the reason for their conferring together was not because they . entertained any d ou bt as to the p ro p r i e ty o f t h e i r decision, but whether th e y ought not at the same time to give their opinio n as t o the conduct of th e persons who had come forward i n support of the ch a r ge .

During the whole of Saturday the towns of Gteenwich and Deptford were in a state of excitement, from its having been reported that a murder had been attempted upon a police-constable of the name of Hastie, in a retired part of Deptford. The rumour was that he had been set upon by four men, in consequence of his interference on behalf of a girl, who they were at the time indecently molesting, and after one of them had struck him a sevei e flow up.)n the head with some deadly weapon, they all hit him bleeding, and in a hopeless condition, where he might have died if it had not been for at - other constable, who had him conveyed to Guy's Hospital, and there are no hopes of his recovery. The following evidence was given before Mr. Grove, the magistrate, at the Greenwich Police-office, during the course of the day. The following men, now in custody, William Sullivan, William Brazen, Michael Collins, and Timothy Driscoll, were placed before the magistrate. Edward Ford deposed that he knows all the pri soners. He was at the Rodney Arms with them on Friday night, and was turned out with Clem by the landlord at twelve o'clock, when he heard a girl abusing one of them for taking liberties with her person. She had been drinking with them, and the policeman told them all to go home, or he must lock them up. Thomas Purnell, a dockyard labourer, stated that he saw a man pulling about a woman who remonstrated, and that he heard the policeman tell him' to go home. He went on, and left the prisoners at the corner of the Rodney Arms. James Usher deposed that he was going home at a quarter past twelve, when, as he passed the Rodney, he saw a man leaning against the wall in a helpless condi tion, and upon his trying to arouse him he found, by the light of his lamp, that he was deluged with blood. He ran off for assistance, and the poor fellow was taken t.) the Kati on -house. Mary Ann Harding, of No. 1, Dock-street, Deptford, stated she was at the Rodney on the night in question, in company with two young men, and left them a few minutes after twelve o'clock. The prisoners lett the tap room at the same time, and one of them pulled her about indecently whe , she got into the street. She told them if they did not leave her alone she would get them locked up. She called them rogues. The policeman told her to go home, and to prefer a charge against the party in the morning. He said so three or four times She then went home, and left the men and the officer at Tinderbox court. The pdice sergeant and one of the constables deposed that Hastie stated on his way to the hospital that Sulli van and a thick-lipped man had done it. They went to Sullivan's lodging, and,:openindthe door, he said, before a word was uttered, "It was not me that did it ; and when one of them took hold of him, and asked, " Done what ?" he replied, " I know nothing about it." Sergeant Lovell deposed to taking the other pri soners into custody, a.nd to finding so.ne blood on Tiro zan's trousers. Upon being asked what they had to say in an swer, Sullivan simply replied that he had not been at the Rodney on the previous night, and the other pri soners denied having any knowledge of the assault. The landlord of the Rodney was examined as to the parties who were in his house, and this being the whole of tho evidence, the prisoners were all remanded to Maidstone gaol, to await further investigation. In the afternoon an application was made to the ma gistrate at Union-hall to take nestle's deposition, as he was said to be in a dying state, and upon Mr. Traill reaching the hospital, he was informed the poor fellow was perfectly unconscious, and it was thought he could not survive twenty-four hours. STATE OF TRADE. FOREIGN WOOL TRADE, LEEDS, FEB. 20.—We have no change to report in the foreign wool market this week. Sales have been somewhat limited, as many buyers are wishing to learn the result of the London sales before operating. ENGLISH WOOL MARKET, LEEDS, FEB. 20.—Sales of combing and clothing wools this week have not ex ceeded the quantity required by the manufacturers for immediate use. Prices are stationary. LEEDS.—The markets both on Saturday and Tuesday have been very dull ; little has been done except in low tweeds for the German markets. Fine and middle cloths have been in very little demand, and low cloths not so brisk as they were a few weeks ago. Prices con tinue pretty steady, and the stocks in the manufac turers' hands are very moderate. Business has also been very dull in the warehouses this week ; the few buyers who have been in the town have made their pur chases very sparingly. lIECKMONDWIKE BLANKET MARKET, FEB. 19. There has only been a thin attendance of merchants this week, and not much business transacted, but prices are about the same as they have been for the last few weeks. Noils and shorts suitable for blankets are very scarce, owing to the manufacturers at Bradford working such' short time. WORSTED.—BRADFORD, THURSDAY.—The demand for all kinds of combing wool, both Colonial and British. rides heavy, and a general disinclination to buy, except upon the lowest possible scale compatible with the pre sent diminished consumption, prevails. Nods and brokes, from the small quantity making, continue firm. The trade in yarns is yet very discouraging, and the operations of the spinners, who are acting on the defensive, continue to be on a liberal scale. This is telling upon the accumu lated stocks. The quantity now on hand is not heavy ; and this, with the peaceful intelligence from America, and the prospect of an early alteration in our restrictive laws, would augur in favour of increased activity. There have been rather more inquiries to-day for piece goods, and on the whole more business was done ; and in most kinds of dress goods, the stocks are not heavy, and prices remain without alteration. MANCHESTER THURSDAY EVENING.—WO have had a most dull and inanimate state of things in our cloth market this week—a state of things for which it is dif ficult to account, seeing that all parties deem the corn laws as already doomed. There are those who fancy, how ever, that the drapers in the agricultural districts are now purchasing, and will continue to purchase, much more moderately for some time to come, until the atmosphere is a little more clear than it is at present. The dulness pervades every department of the cotton trade, except the spinning branch, and even this is far from being lively—indeed prices are giving way. NOTTINGHAM.—The cotton hosiery trade in nearly all the principal branches whether wrought or cut, keeps still slowly retrograding, and employment scarce. The silk glove trade has felt the approach of spring, and in some quarters there is a want of hands. The bobbin net trade, on the contrary, though we are nearly in (what was formerly) the busy month of March, is, if anything, worse and more stagnant than ever.—Netting ham Review. VEGETATION AND ZOOLOGY OF THE OREGON. Tropical plants thrive in parts of Oregon. At As toria, near the mouth of the Columbia, there are dense size;grow t a hs fir of forest ineasur e t d re ct e 6 s, f, w e h t iicnh circumferencetoan a e t n l o o rm f o e u e s t from the earth: the length of its trunk before giving off a branch was 153, and its whole length not less than 300 feet. Another tree of the same species, on the banks of the Unquam river, is 57 feet in girth of trunk, and 216 feet in length below its branches. Prime sound pines from 200 to 280 feet in height, and from 20 to 40 feet in circumference, are by no means uncommon. The woods which principally flourish are black ash, hazel, dogwood, cherry, mapel, sycamore, fir, white and red cedar, cotton wood, white and swamp oak, willows, walnuts, and an unudergrowth of aromatic shrubs, creepers, and clambering vines, with all the varieties of berries, goose, straw, whortle, black, with cranberries, raspberries, and currants. These forests are not with out their large proportion of wild game, with which the country sufficiently abounds—stags, deer, bears, black and grizzly, ashata, foxes, wolves, racoons, rabbits, beavers, sea and river otters, musk rats, &c. A few panthers BEM prowl about, and the beautiful antelope ranges over the hills. " All the attitudes and move ments of this graceful animal," says Mr. Irving, "are graceful and picturesque, and it is altogether as fit a sub ject for the fanciful uses of the poet as the oft-sung gazelle of the East." In the middle section of Oregon the buffalo is found. Of the feathered tribe, the tenants of these regions, are the swan, wild goose, and brant, duck, pelican, heron, and gull, snipe, curlew, vulture, crow, raven, magpie, woodpecker, pi geon , p ar t r id ge , pheasant, grouse, and singing birth without number. There are few reptiles of any description. The rivers abound with fish, if we may rely on the accounts given by the " member of the Oregon legislature." The fisheries of the country are very great, and foremost amongst all the varieties which they produce is the un rivalled salmon. It would be impossible to estimate the numbers of this excellent fish annually taken in the Co lumbia and its tributaries, but they have been set down at 10,000 barrels a year, which number I do not think by any means too large. All the salmon caught here are taken by the Indians, and sold to the whites at about ten cents eac,h and frequently less. One Indian will take about twenty on an average per day. There aro several other kinds of fish in the bays, rivers, and creeks of the territory, of which a species of cod and the sturgeon are the most important. The latter are large fish, and afford great sport in a leisure hour to take them with the hook and line. Of shell-fish we have the crab, clams, mussels, and a small description of oyster, In regard to the products of the field, the agri cultural parts of Oregon, or those of the first section, yield wheat, it is said, from twenty to forty bu‘hels to the acre, and that of superior quality. Indian corn and sweet potatoes do not thrive. Oats, peas, tomatoes, gar den vegetables, Irish potatoes, and turnips, have sue ceeded to advantage. Apples, peeches, cheeries, plums, pears, melons, &c., may be yielded. An abundant growth of grass favours the raising of cattle; the wap patoo, a peculiar root growing there, being profitable for fattening hogs.—Survey of the Oregon Territory. RAILWAY SEDUCTION.—We regret to state that many farmers, in vicinities wheno railroads are in the course of being constructed, have suffered serious inconvenience during the past winter in consequence of their servants leaving their employment to work upon those lines, which they are tempted to do on account of their earning better wages than they can procure as farm servants. Several of these delin quents have been called to account for their conduct, and have been very properly committed to prison as a warning to others.-- Cumberland Pacquet. Law OF SETTLEMENT. .On the 12th instant, the Itarleston Farmers' Club came to the following resolution :—" It is the opinion of this Club that the increase of machinery has in the manufacturing districts greatly increased manual labour, but that the use of agricultural machinery is at present quite in its in fancy. The Club states, however, with great satisfaction, that, so far as its experience goes, in every case where it has been freely applied to land, the capital thus saved has been as freely employed in manual labour of a more profitable kind. This result however, cannot be always expected under the existing Law of Set tlement, which necessarily impedes that change of employment re quired by the immediate operation of all machinery—the super seding of manual labour. This club, therefore, in expressing a decided opinion in favour of the increased application of machinery to agriculture, adds, that it should be accompanied by free labour, to be secured by the total abolition of the Law of Settlement"— Suffolk Chronicle.
