While so engaged the file slipped, making a deep burnt incisioO in the palm of his hand, near the thumb. A care an put something into the wound, which he said was used for horses; and the deceased continued at his work as usual, until two days be fore his death, when he complained that his jaws were quite tight, and that he could hardly open his mouth. The hand, which had been much swollen all the week, was now of the natural size; and the evening before his death, on leaving work, his neck was quite stiff, and his head all on one side ; Then, for the first time, medical advice was called in, but too late; tetanus had set in, and in a„ few hours after wards he died.

The City of Madrid, which contains a population of 250,000 souls. is the worst supplied with water in.Eerope. It stands upwards of 2,400 feet above the level of the sea, and, excepting a few private springs, there are no other means of obtaining this first element of life but from the public fountalas, which are wnolly insufficient, and fall in their supplies. It is carried by hand to the houses, which are extremely lofty, and Inhabited in floors. There is only one stream, the Manianares w pitssing near the city, and this, for the greater portion of the year, 14 literally dried up. The privations thus arising to the inhabitants of Madrid are most severe, and in the competition for water from the fountains, con flicts, often ending in loss of life, are not unfrequent. It has long been an anxious aim of the authorities to remedy this great and growing mischief; and at length, after elaborate inquiries, aided by the most eminent engineer., a scheme has been mstured , for bringing a supply of water to Madrid proportionate to the wants of the people, by a conduit from the river Lozo) a, about 52 miles distant, the waters of which are found to be at once pure, healthful, and abundant, whilst the nature of the elevations, and other local considerations, are suitable for its conveyance. _ _ . To this end, the requisite plans, estimates, and detailed reports have been prepared by the Government and Municipality of Madrid, and it is found that the works necess iry to supply this great social want by conveying the water to the gates, and distributing it within the city, may be substantially executed by an expenditure which, including 11 incidental charges and expenses of the undertaing, will not exceed 1,100,0001. Of the required outlaylot the conduit, the authorities at Madrid are prepared-to provide 450,0001. The desirableness of the undertaking will be sufficiently manifest, indeed, from the fact that several thousand persons are now em ployed in the mere labour of carrying water to, and distributing it over, the houses, at an ascertained :expense for carriage alone of 6s. 3d. per Real Fontanero (6s. Bd. per 1,000 gallons), or in the ag gregate 120,0001. to 150,0001. per annum. The English promoters having first submitted to Mr. Simpson, the eminent Engineer (who has been professionally engaged about the Chelsea, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Bristol, Manchester, Carlisle, York, Newcastle, and various other English Waterworks), the plans and reports of the Spanish officials and the proposals thereon, and that gentleman having advised on the main features of the undertaking, the promoters subsequently dispatched to Madrid Mr. A. M. Ross, the well-known engineer, with experienced assis tants, carefully to inspect the country to be traversed, and to inves tigate the local peculiarities of Madrid, the Government reports, plans, and estimates. Te this gentleman the authorised official documents have been submitted ; he has minutely inspected the country, the works so far as executed, and the subsidiary works and preparations for the residue ; and his reports confirm the views of Government as to the excellence and sufficiency of the proposed supply, the soundness dnd scientific fitness of the works so far as executed, the perfect feasi bility of the whole, and their cost. A new plan and section have been carefully prepared by this gentleman, and if any amendment in the detail of the Government scheme suggest itself; it will be adopted and embodied in tae arrangements with the Spanish authorities. The terms en which it is proposed to carry out the undertaking are, that the entire estimated cost of the work, without and within. the City, and all incidental charges, being probably 1,100, Osl., there shall be contributed by, the Authorities 450,000/. ; and that, in return for such contribution, the Company shall supply a given quantity of water irom the Lozoya, /or use in the Palace and for municipal purposes; that the English Company shall be secured. the privilege of supplying Madrid w.th water, at rates equal to the present cost, with all powers for this purpose necessary or usually granted to English companies; that the undertsking ugh sll be declared " public utility," and enjoy all the valuablets privileges, and immunities thence arising, including the right to import, irse of charge, all art,cles and materials needed fur the works ; with the use also in the works of convict labour, it desired. And further, the English Company claim the right, within a li mited time, to commute the :vita h subscription for an annual pay ment equal to 12 s s per cent. upon the amount. Thus, for a total outlay by the English Proprietors, which the Promoters are well advised will not exceed 650,00, 1., an annual re venue of at least 120,0001. may be forthwith realised. This estimate however does not include various, sources of con.umption now exist ing, which, as will be seems from the Engineering Reports, must swell the Company's revenue, neither do the caculations embrace the greatly increased demand consequent on a more abundant supply. The prupose.t source of supply to the entire City is so elevated as to save th, costly process of forcing the wa.er by machinery ; and Mr. Ross therefore estimates that the annual expenses of the Corn= patty, in distributing the water and upholding the Works will not exceed 5,0001. English Contractors of wealth and experience, to whom or under whose direction the co ncess i on i s m ade, are prepare d to enter into engagements with the E ng l is h C om p a ny oeliver over time neces sary works, inc'uding alt expenses 01 engineering and surveying, and the upholding of th e w h o l e f or a year, laying the p i p es and executing all other necessary works, to be specified, w ithin the City, from time to time as they shall be required, upon certain fixed terms, which will obviate all doubt that the enterprise may be substantially fulfilled tor the capital, and that an ample margin remains. It is intended to raise a Capital for distribution in England of 800,0001. by 80,000 shares of li:/. each, of which a number not ex ceeding 1,300 are, pursuant to the terms with concessionaires, to be at their disposal (for the promotion, of the undertaking) as paid-up Shat es. Powers will be taken authorising the Shareholders, when 51. iS paid, to exchange their Certificates for Scrip, transferable by delivery merely, the conditi, ns of which will be forfeiture of such Scrip on default in payment for sixty days by the holster of any further Call, and in that event the Share will revert to the party in wnose name it is registered. Of the entire number of Shares, 21,300 have been already appropriated, leaving for allotment 58,000. It may, however, be found necessary to reserve a portion of these for allotment in Madr.d. All the important details of the arrangement have already been adjusted with the Spanish authorities ; but inasmach as, for the interest of the Shareholders, niscretion must be re served to those with whom the arrangements have rested, the 'Promoters reserve the right of dissolving the Company, and paying back the deposits (iess two shillings per Share), if, from t au' unforeseen circumstance, they deem it to the general interest so to do. They also reserve the right to admit any modifications of such arrangements which may appear to them consistent with the main object of the undertaking; to commence the undertaking when such eortion of the Capital his been snbscrikied as they may deem requisite. Applications for Shares, which must be accompanied by a satisfac tory reference, may be made to Lewis H. Haslewood, Esq., 15, Angel-court ; or to Messrs. °swirl, Tootal, and Co., 10, Angel-court, Throginorton-street ; and to R. S.

The case came before -the °curt of ChancerY; and the matter was determined, except as to the question of fact w hich was now before the jury. They had already heard that that was, whether important infor mati on as to Mrs. Collett's health had been concealed from the office,a although .0 r. Collett did riot know mu ch o f her health at that tiente e yet e he ~(the Learned Counsel), understood shut the matter bad been co rrectl y represented to the that ' office.

The podce • of insurance and the proposals for it were then •pu t in.

This was :.;.n action to recover damages for injuries sustained by an accident on the defendante railvvay. Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. Lush ,wKe counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Channell and Mr. Bovill for the defendants. It 'appeared that the plaintiff, a conunercial travelltr in the employment of Mr. Potter, a wine merchant, took his place, on the evening of the 23d of Qetober, 1850, in a London and South-Western train, at Landport, a station in the jeint occupation of the South-Western and Brighton companies. The train had proceeded a very short distance when, owing to the darkness, it ran into an engine belonging to the defendants, which was either stationary or moving beyond - the siding which led into the engine-shed, where it ought to have been. The consequence was a collision, from which the plaintiff did not at first experience anything more than sickness and giddiness, confining him to his home at Porehester; but on calling in Mr. Marrett, a medical man there, that gentleman was of opinion that he bad received a concussion of the brain, - and recom mended him to abstain from every kind of business for six Months at least. He, however, tried to follow his usual employment, and partially succeeded; 'but a short experience showed that his' health,.grew worspcand the symptoms of giddiness, numbness, and coldness of the extremities, and quickness of pulse continued. He was finally obliged to give up his employment, though his master, who spoke in high terms of him, continues his salary of 100/. a year. In 1851 the plaintiff wished to insure his life, but Drs. Conquest and. Hodgkin, who examined him, considered his health too precarious to recommend him to the office. Messrs. Coulson, Adams, and other distinguished surgeons, saw _him, at, various time ,:and all testified' to his suffering from concu ss ion of the braid, and to his total inability to follow his,busi ness in future. His former salary was 2501, with an allowance for travelling, amounting to about 901. a year more, and his medical expenses amounted to a consider able. sum. The CHIEF JUSTICE left the case very, fuliy and fairly to the jury; and in the course of his summing up, complimented Mr. Marrett for his non-use of prufes sional jargon: The jury, after an hour's retirement, fcund a verdict for the pl3inLiff—Damages 2,0001.

CROWN COUBT. 7 (Before Mr. Barun ALDERSON.) James Masher, aged 28, and John Hartland, agrd 29, were indicted for night poaching at Raiford, on the es tate of Sir Thomas licsketh, on the Ist of January last. There was a further indictment, charging them with shooting at John Caunce, the gamekeeper, with intent to murder him. Mr. Pollock prosecuted, and Mr. Overend defended ho prisoners. • The prisoners wished to withdraw their plea of " Not g , nilt)" of th e n i g ht p oac hi ng , .and to plead " ' ilia LORDSHIP w i s h e d th em p er f ec tly, t o loa ders:and that he should inquire whether in. thia course. of the poaching, to whi c h t h ey w i s h e d to p l ea d gu il t y they ' bad fired their t , nns .at the watchers; poaching and attempting to kill game was one thiug, firing at and attempting to kill men, whilst so engaged, was another. The prisoners persisting in their plea of Guilty, Bar. Poi.4ocs,proceeded to call witnesses as .to the transaction. It appeared from the evidence of Caunce, the game keeper, and of a man named Bridge, who was admitted to give evidence as an approver, that Bridge met the two prisoners at a beer-shop at Burscough, and they asked him to "go and have a shot or two," to which.he as sented, and that the two prisoners, himselfaand other two men, not in custody, went on New Year's-eve to a lane called Boundary-lane, and thence to the preserves of Sir Thomas Hesketb, ellen armed with a.gun; that they fired et and killed a pheasant in a wood called John Ilesketh's-wood, and the gamekeeper and watcher hear leg the report of the guns, went to the wood and pu - sued the two prisoners, and Bridge the approver. The two prisoners ran across a turnip-field, and Bridge up the lane. The keepers followed _the two prisoners. One of the keepers, named Lialsall, rushed at and seized the prisoner, Masker; as he seized him his gun went off over Halsall's shoulder. Another gun was fired, it was believed by Martland, w hi ch hit Caunce on the left aide of his chest and fa ce , an d wounded him veil ' severely with shpt. He fell in c onsequence. an d av as ill for a month afterwards under t h e doctor ' s care. Before t h e shots were fired one of the men cried out, " Band back, or we will shoot you." Martland was afterwards. taken into custody, he having secreted himself for some time. , It,was suggested by Mr. OVEREND that it was the approver 13ridge who fired the shot at Cauace; but the witnesses concurred is saying that he must have been above 200. yards off when the shot was fired. IES LORDSHIP said he was sorry to be obliged, to pass a heavy sentence upon the prisoners. This was one of the instances in which people who went out with the in tention of killing game ended with attempting, t 9 kill men. The shot fired had all but killed the unfortunate game keeper; the rash act had not been fatal to him, thank God for that, or the prisoners would have had to expiate that offeuce with their lives. There was a great distinc tion between poaching and such a rash act 43 this. The reason why the Legislature had made it a heavier offence for three or more.to go out at night armed with guns to poach was because it exposed human life to danger, for men so circumstanced would Ilut be taken. They rays away till they could run no lOngers ; and then they made resistance even to death. He had great pity for poor men who, under the idea of seeking sport, in fringed the law and became poachers; but there was n plain distinctiout between poaching and risking the lives of her Majesty's subjects by shooting at theta. It was, therefore, with great reluctance and sorrow that he passed on the prisoners the sentence that they each be transported fur fourteen years. The other charge against the prisoners wee not pro ceeded with. An indictment for perjury, of no interest, tinieled the criminal business of the ussize. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

THE LIVERPOOL GRAND. NATIONAL STEEPLECHASE.. TO THE ED (TOR OF THE SUN. SIR, ---My sporting clients have no doubt been some what astonished by the absence from the cointnns of . The Sun for above a fortnight of. the usual " Sporting Notes." Their counsel, however, has been busy at wont on—as immortal " Bees" Mantilini• would sayee , " Tore Tilller's ground, picking up the deninition, gold and silver;" or, in other words, collecting the materiel for my analysis of the Chester, Newmarketaand Northamp ton Handicaps, and Liverpool Steeplechase. nartth th e last-named I now intend to begin my work in earnest. The Liverpool Grand National, the most ituccessful of _all steeplechases, has been established aguod many years; .but , for_ (tome: time it was a race in which the ,candidates carried 12st etch. However, in 1843, it was thought advisable by the ruling powers at Liver pool to make it a handicap. The: entries for the first time numbering forty-three, awl ,no less than sixteen .going to the pest; Vanguard, with list 101 b up, was the winner; Nimrod, list, second; and Dragomen,. list 31b, third. In the following year the favourite (Dis count, carrying lOst 121 b), for the first,and only •time, coming off winner. Every other time, up to last year, the tavourite has always been beaten • the winner on each occasion being an. oatsider at odds varying from eleven, the price in Matthew's year, 1847, to indefinite odds in Chandler's year, 1848. In five instances out of the nine the winning weight has been of the heavy character, viz., ranging from 1 Ist 51b to _list.. 121 b; the former carried by Curcall, in 1845, and the latter by Pioneer, in 1846, and ellaudler in 1848, Thetnstances where the winner was weighted lowin this scale was with Matthew, teat 61b, in 1847; Abd-el-Kader, at 9at 121 b, in 1850, and at lOst 41b in 1851; so, if we are to take .past experience as a guide, the result of the forthcoming steeplechase would seem mgrs likely to fall to the loteof a high-weighted tried horse that to any moderate specimen of the steeple chaeer with a feather on his back. s The .entries from 1843 up to the present time, with the exception of the lust and present years, have been gradually on the in crease; they numbered forty-three in 1843, and seventy in 1850; this year they ate fiity-nine, with an accept ance of about two-thirds, which may. be eat down as tolerably gaol. ft ,must be borne in mind\ that the Liverpoot Steeplechase Course is a b ove t h ree furionga over the four miles in length. and ponsequently, in extent as well as nature, the stiffest course of the kind in the kingdom, requiring en animal game to the backbone, nod with plenty of stem in him, too, to come off the victor. It is perfectly ridiculous at the present lime, although within two or three weeks of the race, to attempt giving anything like a list bf the starters on the day, but I knots) some tolerably good reasons for believing teat the following will be missing from the fray, newel . ) :—Warner, Melford, Simple Harry, Maria Monk, Janus, Venture, Muley, Everton, and Perjury. Of the remeining twenty-nine, within five or six, I pre iume the whole lot will run; though, as I before It niarkd, it will be perfectly impossible to give a correct list of the tanners this week. Lard Waterford, by scratching Le rd George, left the sporting world to infer that his Sir John, at list 10th, would be his mg on the day ; and I entertain pot the smallest doubt, as the horse is in good_ fettle, , that be will, its usual ; ; get a place. if -out SS the obsolete winner. Osborne's Abd-el-Kader, list 41b, will have to give way to the two Peters, who are both weighted at Ilea 211 e; it is said that mischief is intended with Sir Peter Laurie, which he will have to struggle • hard to effsct, as the severity of the course is much against hits. Peter Simple I prefer to Lucy Neale at the same weight, the hors: having he- differentaimes given signs of being able to get a distance and live a stiffish pace: I hold his chance to be a very respectable outside one. Mr. Hutton's grey mare Lucy .Neale, although boxed up for this eenture, will have nothing to do in the finishing struggle; I consider her qualities much overrated. It is said that Mr. Bevil' intends jockeying his.owa horse Fernhill, bat as to whether it possesses any chance or no at llst deponent sayeth not. Mr. Atkinson's Chieftain, lost 12ib, hes come in for a considerable share of:-.the public favour within the last week or so, but taking his previous performances as my guide, notwithstanding the money that is " on" him, and being in the best condition his admirers could wish, in defiance of all this, I must distinctly state that, to my mind, he possesses no chance whatever of carrying off rue Grand National of 1852. Ha may run well, but the last half mild will beat him. Bourton, lOst 101 b, is fancied by souse; he will be a bit of a favourite in all probability, but no serinntin. P. Barling's Bedford, lOst 10Ib, has beets backed for a tremendous amount of money by the public, end, to some extent, by the stable likewise; his chance -I tun inclined to look favourably upon, and will back him to beat any of , his near neighbours the }Welts.
