COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL A Court was held on Thursday for the dispatch of public business. It sat till a late hour. THE STATE OP THE CITY PRISONS. Mr. Wiax gave the following notices of motions : "That it be referred to a Special Committee, to be appointed by 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 ealct. " That such Committee do also inquire whether any and what alterations are necessary to be made for the accommoda tion of judges, juries, 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. Jahn 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 dam 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 by 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, proposing to make a terminus in the City of London. The 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 carried on the bridge. The opinion 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 ensure all these objects. Mr. Lorr said he regretted to be obliged to differ with the committee, of which he was a member ; but Mr. Tite, 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 the citizens of 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—a superstruction, for instance, ' very similar to thagi`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 mania. —( Hear, hear, an d murmurs . ) Sir P. LAURIE said he had uniformly objected to the intro duction of railroads into the City. He had made a resolute op position to the Blackwell 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 from 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 wa', he had originally expressed. The City of London was well occupied commercially. There might be here and there lanes and 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 mare 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. lie 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 ought 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 complaned 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 bene fi ts. 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 frordits vicinity to the place of active business.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. AstwasT 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 coasider 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 to attack:and annihilation. They would, in feet, 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 now be the proprietors of all the docks. The Court, however, refused, and what was the consequence? The merchants and traders went 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. JOHN Dixore 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 zens, 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 a 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. WYION OF THE PRIVILEGES OF THE CITY OF LONDON AND THE BOROUGH OF SOUTHWARK. The LORD Mayon 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 ; and 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 PETER LAURIE had no objection to send the petition to a committee, but he knew the fate it merited would await it wherever its merits underwent examination. After having opposed the principle of reestablishing the Civic magisterial authority in the Borough, on the grounds stated by him at a late Court of Aldermen, Sir Peter Laurie read the unani mous report made, a n d agree d to, during the able Town-clerk ship of Mr. Woodthorpe, who advised the rejection of the pro- K s r itio r n a , tie a n ce s o t mpanied with such reasoning as convinced the condemned theonnoteeiooni of tl k ee ping impracticability of the scheme. He the pauper peerage of the it the d Town-hall as a refuge . for described the condition of the City Magistrates, who visited r nn the Borough for the pur pose of dispensing justice, as oficullus i n the extreme. He argued, too, that if the pray er e petitioners were to be granted, it would be necessary toadd to the number of Al dermen. Mr. ft. Ta.vr.oa said the citizens of London could very easily spare some of their Aldermen to the Borough.— (Laughter. ) Mr. WIRX was rejoiced to find that , a S s ir d P th e s ter Laurie had generous again classed himself with the Liberals feelings of his youth were reviving in his mature the was glad that Sir Peter was so liberal as not to ono a s g e e t . he tee ference of the petition. The petitioners, he w i 6 „l - ,;,1 - 1 understood, represented not the Parliamentary bou nda r ie s, e be but the ancient borough, which consisted of five parishes,a.wriit% a population not exceeding 75,000 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 o a different conclus i on. — (L au g hter.) great statesman lately said, that he would not steer in 18-td by observations made in 1843. He might say that since the former consideration of the subject much new information had been obtained as well from the Corporation records as from other soirees. They had also a new town-clerk, whose anti quarian and legal knowledge, and whose known attachment to ancient r:ghts, would materially assist them in ascertaining whether the petitioners' object could be attained. Ho 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 population also had decreased. It was wise, therefore, to seek to s t reng th en themselves by adding to the City the borough of Southwark, and givin g ' both parties a common in. barest in def en di ng a ll t h at was preciat::. , and valuable in local oft-government, and in resisting the encroac i lal ments of b' traYy Dower .,( H ear .)

".' M S the Aldermen had discontinued their sittings in the Town-hall. It was true that the chair had been for years the refuge for the pauper peerage of the City. On the death of the two last pensioners, it was, as he had heard, the intention of the Court to give 8001. a year to two members of the Court : but there being no unanimity upon that subject, it was proposed to divide the 8001. a year equally amongst the Aldermen who had passed the chair, but Sir Peter Laurie, who hated a job, and did not wish to participate in the labour, seized upon the clause before mentioned, and the sittings in the Town-hall were discontinued.—(Laughter.) On the grounds of public policy, and because ho 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 wire surrounded, he supported the motion. The sooner Bridge Ward Without was made not a sinecure ward, but really efficient with:representatives, 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 QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 21. (Sittings at Nisi Prins, Guildhall, before Lord DENMAN and a Special Jury). TOSTER V. THE BANK Or ENCLIXD. In this case Mr. Sergeant Shoe and Mr. Pearson ap peared on behalf of the plantiff, and the Solicitor- General and several other counsel for the Bank of England. The allegation of the plaintiff was, that she held certain stock in the Bank of England, on which she bad 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; but that when she applied, after the latter period, to sell out her stock, she was told that her stock had been sold out in January, 1839. This she positively denied, and therefore took an action for the recovery of 3731 195., as the amount which she alleged still remained i n th e h an d s o f t h e B an k b e l ong i ng to h er. She also alleged that ske applied for an in spection of the books of the Bank, but was refused. The SOLICITOR. •GENEILAL, 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 s hould have access were offered her. A _ question of identity might arise ; but it would almost be impossible for clerks to identity all the parties who transfer stock, far 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. Oxley, who had identified the plaintiff. He had been dismissed from the Bank, but not owing to this transaction. He (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 37 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 the plaintiff; he was dismissed for having ebsented 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. Ripon, one of the witnesses, corroborated the above. In July, 1841, the plaintiff came to the Bank and said Mr. Oxley had sold her stock. Cross-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---I 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 201. each, and of the 2001. to herself. She afterwards applied for the balance of 115/., and it was transferred, and I identified them. In about two months after she came to me and brought me between 50/. 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 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 SREE—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 7001. 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 ?—I don't know. I gave her no security for her money. How long was that before you absconded ?—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 2,0001. 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 sconded. Re-examined—A person receiving a dividend signs a book aad a warrant. To the COURT-1 returned from Canada in 1842. To Mr. Sergeant Smac—l have not been to see Mrs. Foster since. Mr. Smee—l 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 attorney applying to me for the purpose. You don't recollect anything ?—I don't.—(Laughter.) Do you recollect Mr. Oxley ?—I 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 case closed. Mr. Sergeant SHEE having replied, Ills LORDSHIP briefly summed up, and said the ques tion lay in a very narrow compass. The question was, whether it had 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 great 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 such transactions, to afford the fullest information pos sible to all parties making such applications. The jury retired, and in about half an hour returned into Court with a verdict for the defendant. NIIIII v. HERIIXRT. This was an action for the recovery of 20G/., due by a promissory note. The defendant did not appear, and the jury found for the plaintiff. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Feb. 21. DROUNE V. EVE. The hearing of this action, brought against the pub lisher of the Globe newspaper, for an alleged libel en the conduct and motives of the plaintiff as an Rea% e promoter of the " British and American Colonisation Association," commenced on Saturday, about half-past two, and had p roceeded as far as the part cross-exami natinn of the plaintiff's first witness, Dr. Rolph, when Sir TIIOBIAS WILDE said that the suggestion which he, on behalf of th e defendant had made' to the plaintiff wasjust accepted, and therefo're a juror might be with. drawn. The terms of the suggestion, however, did not transpire. A - juror was accordingly withdrawn, and the cause 'ertninated about three o'clock. POLICE IN TELLIGI-IN CE. MANSION-HOUSE. Old 'C h ane On Saturday, Mr. John Southgate, 0 - f appeared before the Lord Ma y or and Alderman Fee' b r other to answer the c om p laint of Mr. Ar chiba ld White, of Great Misse nden, in the count y of Bucking ' ham, gentleman, for that he (to use the words of the sumnic,nz) within the space of six months from the day of the date hereoof October), in this city, did act f (1-: 41 A ~;:x:Lt. pint -stock com as, and was a promoter of , pany, to wit the Grand Junction, Great itresteiii, ::::l 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 on e, and all the particulars required to be registered iu accordance with, THE SUN LONDON, MONDAY. 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 for 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 check 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 for tho respective companies, to enable landowners and others, whose properties projected 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 mere bubble, and that the names 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 id ea th a t as th ey s i gne d no d ocument 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 4 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 tires 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 5,000/. 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, Yorkshire, and other dis 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. Upcn hearing 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. He was not urged to make the objection from any ap prehension that his client would sustain injury from 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 FAREBROTHER—Is the complainant a pro prietor in the company ? Mr. White—No, Sir ; but I am deeply interested. I have been diddled 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 cut 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. The learned counsel then, at considerable length, contended that the words " one and all the particulars required 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 culars. Alderman FAREBROTRER presumed that the company was abandoned ? Mr. Wordsworth said that such was the case, because they were not ready at the period limited by Parliament. lle assured the magistrates that the Company was a bona 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 hero 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 dared that not the slightest blame was attributable 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 of witnesses, and called _ _ Mr. George Taylor, assistant-registrar of Joint-Stock Companies, appointed by the Board of Trade. The two documents produced were duly issued, viz., the pro visional register of the Trunk Union Railway, and a re turn of the names, business, and addresses of the pro moters. It was not usual to grant new certificates of registration, but alterations were made, if required, in the old registers. There was an alteration on the 18th of September, as appeared by the books, in which was an entry by a party acting for the company, of the name of George Smith, Golden-square. The alteration was from the Trunk Union Railway to the Grand Junction, Great Western, and South-Western Railway Company. On the 23d of September appeared an entry of thechange from the latter name to that of the Grand Junction and Great Western Railway Company. Cross -examined by Mr. Duncan—When a change was 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 projector 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 bona jide 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 stand upon the merits of 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 scription of the promoter; also proof th a t th e name of that company ha s been altered to the Grand Junction, _ Great Western, and bouth-Western Railway Company, that such alteration has been duly registered, and that the two companies are evidently the same. c s o a m i d m t i h t t e a t d he or co o u m l t t n e o d at A a l ll r. se A o ld th e a rn t i a a n n y F i t e n t Eit h nad°TbleEenn by the defendant, from which any improper motive could be inferred. The LORD MAYOR stated that the Act of Parliament was in itself replete with difficulties, and the wording 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. CROYDON. _ __ _ On Saturday Mr. Edward Bilson, 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 makenothing 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 tho defendant. Mr. Robinson, the superintendent of the division, attended to watch the proceedings on behalf of the Commissioners of Police. George Weston, the complainant, deposed, that in November last he was a sergeant iY the P division of police, under 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' Arms 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 Bricklayers' 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 eventually 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 Bilsna, for borrowing money from publicans and from constables in his division. Ile 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 constabl e , sentence d b y M r . Twyfor 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. Twyford, 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 tleman?—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. Mr. Robinson inquired whether after this the action which had been commenced was not immediately aban doned?—The complainant replied that it was. Mr. ADAMS said he did not think they ought to go into such an inquiry as this. It appeared quite clear that he had brought as action against Mr. Twyford, and that after he was re-appointed as constable, he abandoned that action ; it was hardly necassary 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 ho gave for not having made this charge before was, that he 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 place 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, ou behalf of the defendant, urged upon the bench 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 be said, that no tossing or misconduct whatever took place on the night in question. He also gave the defendant an excellent character for the period he had belonged to his division. Two sergeants, who were on duty at the police -sta tion on the night 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 doubt as to the propriety of their decision, but whether they ought not at the same time to give their opinion as to the conduct of the persons who had come forward in support of the charge. He must say, that after listen ing to the material contradictions and discrepancies in their testimony, it was impossible to place reliance on what they stated ; and to say the least of it, there appeared to be an association of a m ost extraordinary on sober,t he night and he e n nature for the purpose of getting up thi s charge. Be and his brother magistrates we re unanimously of opi nion, that there was no foundatio n f or i t, and they were question, the would add, from what the bench had seen of hi a con d uct, that he was a very zealous and excellent offic er . inspector likwise of was opinion perftehctalt ; ATTEMPTED MURDER OF A POLICE-CONSTABLE AT DEPTFORD. During the whole of Saturday the towns of Greenwich 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 severe blow upon the head with some deadly weapon, they all left him bleeding, and in a hopeless condition, where he might have died if it had not been for an other constable, who bad 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 Poli ce - o ffi ce, d ur i ng the course of the day. The following men, now in custody, William Sullivan, William Brezen, 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 them by the landlord at t we l ve o ' c l oc k , w h en h e h e ard a gi r l a b us i ng one of them f or ta ki ng lib ert i es w i t h her pers on . Sh e had been dri n ki ng w i t h t h em, and the policeman told them all to go home, or he must lock them up. Thomas Furnell, a dockyard labourer, stated that be saw a man pulling about a woman who remonstrated, and that he heard tho policeman tell him to go home. Ile went on, and left the prisoners at the corner of the Rodney Arms. James Usher deposed th a t h e wa s going home at a quarter past twelve, when, as ho 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 to the station-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 left h te tap room at the sam e ti me , an d one o f t h e m pulled her about She home, calledar and them indecently who, she got i n t o th e street.

They went to Sullivan's lodging, and,:openingfthe 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, and to finding some blood on liro an's trousers. Upon being asked what they bad to say in an swer, Sullivan simply replied that he bad not been at the Rodney on the previous night, and the other pri soners denied having any knowledge of the assault. EVENING, FE'BRITARY'gs, 1946. The landlord of the Rodney was examined as to the parties who were in his house, and this being the whole of the 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 Ilastie's deposition, as he was ate 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, aad 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 iu the warehouses this week ; the few buyers who have been in the town have made their pur chases very sparingly. lIECEMONDWIKE 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.--Tho demand for all kinds of combing wool, both Colonial and British, rules heavy, and a general disinclination to buy, except upon the lowest possible scale compatible with the pre sent diminished consumption, prevails. Noils and broker, 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. AIANCRESTER THURSDAY EVENING.—We 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 soinkl 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 even—Notting. ham Review. THE INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS. (Sir John Rennie, President, in the Chair.) The paper read on Tuesday was " On water for lo comotive engines and its chemical analysis," by William West, Assoc. Inst. C. E. The author commenced by commenting somewhat severely on the want of precaution manifested in the choice of the watering stations on railways, where he contended that previous analysis of the quality of the water would have avoided not only considerable expenditure, in subsequently procuring fit kinds of water, but would have prevented great destruction of the boilers and inconveniences from the tendency to prime which was induced by certain substances being either in solution or held in sus pension. lie then treated of the various kinds of earthy crust or " fur " deposited by evaporation ; these he showed the various composition of the principal components being carbonate and sulphate of lime, whose powers of conducting beat were so in ferior, that when deposited upon a metallic plate or tube, which should be in contact with the water, the caloric traversed slowly, diminishing the evaporating power of the fuel in proportion to the accumulation of deposit, and at the same time oxidating the metal with great rapidity. The various substances present in spring or river water, such as soda, lime, magnesia, as bases, and sulphuric acid, carbonic acid, anticblorine, which represents hydro chloric or muriatic acid, iron, and organic matters, were then reviewed, and the discrepancies in the results of ana lysis by different chemists were treated of, and it was shown that although there were apparent differences of opinion among chemists, they were not in reality so great as existed among engineers on the relative merits of the locomotive and atmospheric systems, the screw and the paddle-wheel, and the broad and narrow gauge. In treat ing of the modus operandi of analysis, the imperial gallon was recommended as an uniform stendard of quantity for the chemist, as being a measure known to and under stood by all, and enabling the engineer to discard the minute fractions of the chemist, and to attend with exac titude to whole numbers in results. As an instance, it was stated that an engineer might be tempted to disre gard the presence of three-quarters of a grain of de posit from a pint of water ; but the deposit from one thousand gallons of such water would amount to four teen ounees avoirdupois, which was a very tangible quantity. In examining the tendency of different com pounds to deposit, it was shown that sulphate of lime was more disposed than the carbonate to attach itself to the plates; that a mixture of the sulphate caused a harder de posit than the carbonate alone, and therefore waters containing much sulphate should be avoided. It was shown, also, that although what is generally termed " hard " water might be considered inferior to " soft " water, yet, in the question of deposit, hardness and softness were only vague terms, and could not be accepted as positive rules, inasmuch as muriate of lime which imparted great hardness to water, and therefore rendered it unfit for domestic purposes, was a very soluble salt, and therefore did not form any detrimental deposit or crust during ebullition. It appeared that the author could only recommend, as a means of precaution against incrustation, the selection of waters which by analysis were found to contain only soluble salts, or in situations where bad water could alone be obtained, that the boiler should be frequently " blown through," in order to get rid of the dense saturated part of the water, before the crust had time to be deposited ; the introduction of substances—such as potatoes, leather • ings, &c.—into the boiler, in order to •prevent incrusta tion, by enveloping the earthy particles in a slimy coat ing,:being inapplicable to locomotives, because of the tendency to induce priming. The paper noticed slightly the various patents for preventing adhesion in boilers, and in the appendix gave the analysis of many kinds of water which had been submitted to the author professionally for his opinion. In the discussion which ensued, Mr. Gooch demonstrated the importance of the subject to railway and steam-boat companies, and stated that his attention had been called to a process in vented by Dr. Ritterbandt, for preventing incrustation In boilers. That process consisted simply in the ad dition of a small quantity of muriate of ammonia to the water in the boiler. It had been found that this process not only effected the object proposed, but that it disintegrated and removed the incrustation already formed. In all the locomotives in which it had been used, the steam was much more readily generated, so that the blast pipes of several engines had been en larged without diminishing this facility. There was, therefore, no doubt of a great saving of fuel being effected by the process, the expense of which was stated to be about 3d. per hundred miles run of a locomotive engine. In sea-going steamers, the success of the ex periment had not been less remarkable. In all these cases the water• had been tested by practical chemists, with out the slightest trace of iron or copper being detected, showing that there was no injurious effect upon the metal of the boiler, &c.; he looked upon the process as perfect. Dr. RITTERBA.NDT, in a concise and lucid manner, stated the results of his investigations. It appeared that carbonate of lime was the only substance which formed a solid incrustation; the other substances being merely mixed with, and cemented by, the carbonate. That the muriate of ammonia acted as a perfect solvent on the carbonate of lime, converting it into th• soluble muriate, without acting upon the boiler. He gave a practical demonstration of the action of the muriate of ammonia, calcareous water, to the satis faction of the President and members, who expressed themselves in terms of approbation of the great practi cal utility of the invention, and of the manner in which it had been brought before the Society. EFFECTS OF GOOD BEHAVIOUR. _On Tuesday last, the 17th inst., the directors of the Blaenavon Iron and Coal Company attended one of their monthly meetings at the works, when nearly the whole of the colliers and miners met them, with a petition, humbly soliciting them to advance .their wages; to which they readily acceded, informing them that the present mouth they should receive an advance of fourpence per ton on coal, and two shillings per dozen on mine; at the same time intimating that their peaceable con duct during the Chartist outbreak, and not sanctioning their unruly ways, and their obligation in reducing their wawa, during the past depression of the iron trade, was the sole cause of their immediately complying with their present re. quest.—/Ifonsoautlialtire Merlin. A PPLEDORIC. WITCHCRAFT. —Roger Fursdon, of Northam, a man of no very prepossessing appearance, ap peared before the magistrates at the petty sessions at Buck land Brewer, on Wednesday, the 4th instant, to answer the complaint of Richard Evans, of Appledore, a boy 14 years of age, far an assault. From the evidence it appeared the de, fendaut had taken it into his head that a child of his, who had been ill som e ti me, was overlooked or witched by the boy Evans, and he applied to the boy's master to allow him to go with him to Northam, and to say " God bless ye 1" te the child. The master was foolish enough to consent; and about half -way between Appledore and Northam, Fursdon took out his knife and cut the boy in two places near the wrist of his left hand ; he then dragged him to his house, and after having caused his disordered child again to scratch the wound with a pin (to draw blood), had the charm pronounced, and turned the boy out. This was proved by the clearest evidence; but, to the astonishment of the public, the ignorant brute was let off by merely paying the expenses T.— Somerset County Herald.

THE HAGUE, FEB. 18.—In the Secret Committee of the Second Chamber of the States-General, on the 16th, a communication was made from the Government, on the subject of the negotiations between Holland and Bel gium. The Ministers of Finance and Foreign Affairs were present at the sitting. ZWOLLE, FEB. 17.—1 t is said that some respectable inhabitants of this town have formed a resolution to leave their own country, and emigrate to the New World, with a view to settle on the banks of the Mis souri. It is added that inhabitants of other towns and places in our country intend to join in the undertaking, to form a colony in that country, and that a clergyman of Arnheim will direct the enterprise. THE HAGUE, Fun. 20.—The Second Chamber of the States- General received to-day a royal message, with a project of law for transferring to the budget for 1846 the sums allowed, and not employed in 1845, for re coining certain current coins. The funds allotted for this purpose in 1845 amounted to 6,212,000 florins, which sum was sent down in chapter 9 of the budget of the expenditure for 1845. The operations erected last year required only about 800,000 florins. The project of law is to transfer to the budget of the expenditure for 1846 a sum of 5,706,676 florins, to be employed in the works begun at the Mint, and for other purposes, relative to that department. The Chamber afterwards proceeded to the discussion of the project of law, on complaints relative to direct taxes, which was unanimously rejected. We are assured that a Royal ordinance has been lately' signed, which authorises the Ministers of the Interior and Finance to enter into a con tract with Messrs Dronckers and Co. for an iron railway from Flushing and Middleburg through South Beveland and North Brabant, in the direction of Venloo and Kuremonde to Maestricht. The chief object is to form a communication between the German Ocean and the Rhine. The contract is also to include the making of a canal from Flushing to Middleburg, and en larging the port of Middleburg so as to be capable of re ceiving the largest merchantmen, &c.
