IMPORTANT DECISION TO RAIL WAI PASSENGERS IN SCOTLAND. In the Small Debt Court, on Thursday last, fi case was tried before Mr. Sheriff Campbell, at the instance of Elizabeth Caldwell, Kilbarchan, against the Ayrshire Itailway Company, in which points of considerable im portance to passengers by railway, and also to railway directors, were elicited. The pursuer , a nd several others, had taken third-class tickets from Paisley to Cochran Mill station, where they intended to land. On reaching that station, the passengers endeavoured in vain to open the carriage door. They then cried for some one to come and open it, but nobody came until the train was started, when a man came forward (it was ?not proved whether it was the guard or a person uncon nected with the company), and opened the door, and took out the passengers, including a woman and child, while the train was running. In the hurry, ono of the passengers leaped upon the skirt of the pursuer's gown and tore it, and it was for the value of the gown so torn that the action was brought, on the ground that sufficient time had not been allowed for the passengers to land before starting the tram. Three witnesses were examined for the pursuer, who concurred in stating the case as we have narrated it. Two witnesses, the guard, and the manager at the station, were offered for the de fence, but not examined, an objection having been taken to the competency of the guard, that he would have to pay the damages to the Company, in the event of the pursuer obtaining decree. The Sheriff, after shortly running over the evidence, pronounced decree, with full expi us( s, against the Company. After pronouncing de cree, the Sheriff remarked that he was sorry the pre sent was net the only complaint that had been made to him of the short time allowed for passengers to land at the different railway Mations, *nor of the difficulties ex perienced by passengers at landing. It required the strength of a mar. to open the carriage -doors, and in the case of women either travelling by themselves or with children it Was often impossible for them to get out in the time allowed at the stations, and nobody would say that they were not proper parties to travel by railway. Passengers should be allowed to collect their senses, and be made aware of the stations, and not hurried out. - But, added the Sheriff, I would be even inclined to go a step further, and say that it is not the duty of railway pallsengers to open the carriage doors at all, but that this should be done by the Company or their servants, and he strongly impressed upon the railway directors to attend to this in'future, and not expose the lives and pror,,erty of the public in the way hitherto done. 'The Learned Sheriff's remarks were most attentively listened to by a crowded Court, and we have no doubt they will produce the requisite effect in the proper quar ter, an object which the pursuer considered of far more importance than the value of the gown.—Glasgow Sa turday Post. THE BONE-CRUSHING SYSTEM. REPORT of the SECRETARY of the POOR-LAW COMMISSIONERS on BONE-CRUSHING. There appear to be two sorts of bones used in agri culture : st, the bones of commerce, from which all the gelatine fat and animal juices are boiled out—a pro cess necessary, it is stated, to prevent decomposition, and accidents and annoyance during their transport. In this state the bones consist chiefly of phosphate of lime, carbonate of lime or common chalk, phosphate of magnesia, soda, and cartilage ; and in this state are sold by the manure companies and preparers of ma nures, and are stated tcl be inoffensive, and compara tively uninjurious. 2dty, " green bones "—those in which the gelatinous and other animal matter is re tained in the same state in which the bones are collected by the bone-gatherers and others, from amidst dunghills and heaps of ashes and refuse. Inasmuch as the smell is referred to in the paper be fore me, it is inferred that the objection is taken to the process of crushing the green bones, i. e. those bones which give off putrid emanations; and it is the eligibility of the process of crushing such green bones, as fitting work for the inmates of workhouses, that is hereafter considered. There does not appear to be any recorded or precise observations as to the specific effect of putrid emanations from bones or from bone dust ; but there are no general facts now more clearly ascertained than that all putrid emanations from decaying animal matter are noxious, that " the effects of such miasma are manifested imme diately on all surrounding human life (and there is evi dence to believe they are manifest in their degree on animal life generally), in proportion to the relative strength of the destructive agent, and the relative strength or weakness of the beings exposed to them. The effects are seen first on infants, then on children, in the order of their age and strength, then on females, or on the sickly, the aged, and feeble ; last of all, on the robust workmen, and on them it appears on' those parts of the body that have been previously weakened by excess or by illness."—( Vide Supplement to the Sanatory Re port for the general character of the evidence to support this corclusion, paragraphs 5 to 11) In general, the work of bone-crushing appears to have been undertaken by stout able-bodied men, on whom the infla-ne.. of noxious effluvia is not commonly immediately manifested, nor likely to be observed ; but particular instances are known where it was observed that nausea, inability to take food, was the result on healthy independent labou rers, when employed in crushing bones from which the putrid emanations were strong. The same labourers sustained no nausea or inconvenience whatever during prolonged employment in loading, unloading, and spry ad ing dung. The conclusion would be, from all such information as appears to be applicable to the subject, that - the process is one which if it were carried on by independent la bourers, es a matter of private speculation, that would come, a fortigr I, under consideration with other processes in manufactories where deleterious processes are carried on, and on which it has been submitted to the Legisla ture for decision, whether they ought not to be placed under authoritative regulations, with a view not only to the protection of the public from the cmanati , n as e ,moron nuisances, but .for the protecti?th of workmen engteed in conducting them (videSanatory Report, par , e 236 to page 261, on the empleyers'influence on the h ea lth of werkpeo plc, !'y regulation of their pieces of work), and ciliathor thin process of crashing 'reap bones is not one which, from its peculiar offensiveness to the sraPll (}end the smell is in respect to emanations from decaying anima as well as vegetable substances, the faithful monitor of causes injurious to the health), ought to be required to be conducted under chimneys, or with appropriate appliances to carry away effluvia, and to pro tect the workmen from inhaling the dust, which will be more injurious than the effluvia ? If protective legisla tive provisions on this principle were adopted for the protection of independent workmen, there could be little doubt that the process inAuestion will be comprehenled will be within them as being at . Least as injurious and off..nsive as several processes which the Building Bill before Par liament proposes to exclude for the future from the me— tropolis. It would seem to follow, that the remedy which it were desirable to apply by legislation for the abate ment of the nuisance arising from the process when car ried on as a private trade, should be applied to tho pro cess now that it is brought within the cognisance of a public authority. The question then arises, whether it is practicable to conduct the process with proper care, and with the requisite protective appliances, when that process is carried on as an incident to the ordinary workhouse management ? It is assumed that it is not practicable to do an, except at an expense of labour that will outweigh its advantages. Mr. Tufnell states, " that the boxes used for crush ing the bones should always be perfectly dry, and broken under an open shed, when the smell or effluvia is next to nothing. If these conditions be obtained, and if the effluvia be reduced to " next to nothing," then undoubtedly the "injurious effects will be reduced to next to nothing, and there would be nothing to object to in requiring this labour to be performed by young able-bodied men. This statement cannot, however, be taken to the letter, as it is obvious that bones enclosed only in a box, with an open top, in a shed, without any contrivance of a chimney, or funnel, to create a draught and carry away the effluvia which the box will freely give off, could not be inoffensive. The air contained in them being, how ever, more diluted, will, to some extent, be less noxious than if the process were carried on in a closed chamber; but the process would still, pro tont), be an injurious one, even to ,oung labourers, if kept to such labour fur any great length of time. But it is to be borue.sTs mind, that " able-bodied paupers " will not, in general, be of the moat robust class. Those whom the guardians may often be the most disposed to set to work will be those whom they consider to be the worthless class, the idle and the dis sipated. Now the dissipated will be pre-disposed to all such deleterious influence by their dissipation ; they may be deserving of punishment, but punishment cannot legally be mixed up with relief, nor would exposure to nausea and a fit of illness, be a mode of punishment re cognised. Mr. Tufnell considers bone-crushing to be a sort of employment " peculiarly suitable to the semi able-bodied, a class very difficult to deal with, and who may be very easily set to work in this way." Now, on the principle above cited, as conclusions from medical evidence as to the increased effect of putrid emanations in proportion to the weakness of the persons exposed to them, the semi -able-bodied is a class on whom, as being doubly susceptible, such exposure must at least be doubly injurious. It is, moreover, to be considered that the workhouse, besides being a place of work, according to the ability of the parties received, is also to be viewed and dealt with as a hospital, and a place of reception for the sick and convalescent, and very young children, and of weakly and susceptible persons ; it is therefore a place from which all deleterious effluvia should be excluded, a place for which such a process and traffic as that in question ts peculiarly unfitted; for though decaying bones ma y be placed in the outhouses, yet it may be presumed that it will be an object of difficult attainment so to con fine the fumes as to prevent them being carried into the house, and amidst the susceptible classes of inmates. It may be that with the very little attention that has hitherto been paid to the effect of such influences on health, the deleterious effect of the putrid emanations from decaying bones will not be greater than those to which the inmates of most workhouses are still exposed (the effluvia, from cesspools, and bogholes, and drains, for example) ; but on that very account additions should not be made to the existing depressing agencies. But now that the operation, and causes of disease, of such agencies is better understood, the whole should be re moved. The process of bone-crushing is recommended as being advantageous to agriculture. Preparations of chemical substances, phosphates, sulphates, and carbo nates, treated with the various acids, are valuable as fer tilisers, and are well prepared by the manufacturers, but would not, on account of their importance to agricul ture, be the less unfitted and dangerous for manipulations in the workhouse. On these several grounds, then, That the process of crushing bones, when in a state in which they give off putrid effluvia, is one which, when unguarded, is deleterious : That the protective precautions requisite, even when the employment U givea to Must ) able•bodied men, im. THE SU-N, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, ,IGLY 9, 1846. ply an extent of skilful arrangement and care which there is no security or reasonable expectation v$ ill be be applied to the work when conducted under ordinary workhouse management : That although, when the emanations are not highly offensive, or where the bones are not in an active state of decomposition, they may be- housed or worked with impunity, by healthy labourers, yet, on account of the greater susceptibility of the sick and the weakly inmates, no materials giving off such emanations ought to be brought within the precincts of workhouses: It is considered that the process of bone-crushing ought not to be indiscriminately sanctioned as an eli gible mode of setting paupers to work. But beyond the nature of the employment itself, the terms on which it is recommended for adoption by Mr. Tufnell, and by some of the guardians, if any dependence is to be placed on the newspaper reports transmitted with the documents, appear to imply mistakes as to the prin ciple of the law, and deviations in the practice, which re- quire some observations. The employment is recommended by Mr. Tufnell be cause "it is very hard work, and from their not being accustomed to it, very disagreeable to paupers." One of the guardians of the Honiton Board is reported to have said that he thought bone-crushing might be advan tageously continued as " a test." Now it may be questioned whether any part of the law justifies the application of any process, simply and solely as " a test." _ . Any poor person being in danger of perishing from destitution, " having no means to maintain him," that is, having no work whatever, is, in the terms of the 43d Elizabeth, to be relieved by being " set on work" out of the funds provided under the authority of that statute ; the sort of work specified in the statute appears to be ordinary and usual occupations on "necessary wares and stuffs." In return for such work he receives relief, and the condition on which such relief ought to be given is thus stated in the report of the Commissioners of Poor-law Inquiry:— " The first and most essential of all conditions, a prin ciple which we find universally admitted, even by those whose practice is at variance with it, is that his situation .on the whole shall not be made .really or apparently so eligible as the situation of the independent labourer of the lowest class. Throughout the evidence it is shown that in proportion as the condition of any pauper class is elevated above the condition of the independent labourers, the condition of the independent class is de pressed, their industry is impaired, their employment becomes unsteady, and its remuneration in wages is diminished. Such persons are, therefore, under the strong est inducements to quit the less eligible class of labourers and enter the more eligible class of paupers. The con verse is the effect when the pauper class is placed in its proper position, below the condition of the independent labourer. Every penny bestowed that tends to render the pauper's condition more eligible than that of the in dependent labourer is a bounty on indolence and vice,' All this is true, and yet if the applicant have " no means" to maintain him, if he be in the position con templated by the statute of Elizabeth, however simple the fare, and hard the task of ordinary and useful work, being saved from the consequence of having " no means" to maintain him, it is still relief which he receives, and the provision is still a beneficent one. In another part of the report of the inquiry, p. 264, it is stated as an incident to the carrying out of this prin ciple, " that the offer of relief on the principle suggested by us, would be a self-acting test' of the claim of the applicant." "It is shown throughout the evidence that it iy de moralising and ruinous to offer to the able-bodied of the best characters more than a simple subsistence. The person of bad character, if he be allowed any thing could not be allowed less. By the means which 'we pro. pose, the line between those who do, and those who do, not need relief, is drawn, and drawn perfectly. If the . _ claimant does not comply with the terms on which relief is given to the destitute, he gets nothing, and if he does comply, the compliance proves the truth of the claim— namely, his destitution." The test is still the incident to the principle on which the relief is administered, the pauper is still relieved by being " set to work." All the examples of dispauperised parishes cited by the Commissioners of Inquiry were by setting the applicants on work, on ordinary and usual work of the character of the work specified by the statute of Elizabeth, but it appears to be going not only beyond the terms of the comment of the Commissioners of In quiry, but beyond any terms of the law itself, to erect the mere incident into the principal and sole objects of the law. When used in such a manner as above recited, and with such a process, the man is popularly under stood to be (and it is to be feared is often intended to be) " tested," as a coin is tested by the application of nitric acid, or aquafortis, and then put aside without any further care if he stands the test. The law directs work to be given as the inseparable condition of the benefit, and as a relief, and not as " a test." But when it is stated that that which is of little or no use as labour, is valu able, and to be retained as a " test," a course is taken to bring the law into odium, to excite opposition against it, and by the injudicious use of the word " test," justify the declamation against its administration, that its-real intent is to " torment" the paupers. To an idle and vicious man, any work such as an in dependent labourer executes with cheerfulness, may be disagreeable, but it is only on the condition of his inn set on work, however disagreeable, that the statute of the 43d Elizabeth allows him to receive relief. In prin ciple, and according to the fair interpretation of that statute, the usual and ordinary work should be such as may offer no temptations to an idle man, but present no ground of fear to an industrious one, that if he take the employment he sulject to a fit of illness, or to any severity that is to operate not as proper labour, but simply and solely as a test. If the word were taken from their report, which does not appear, the Commis sioners of Inquiry ma) fairly complain that no precau tion can protect any term from perversion, when a word used as characterising an incident is coined into a phrase, and used as above described in the face of suet; illustrations as the following : " A further advantage of extended districts, the unions, say the Commissioners, arises from the coin- parative facility of providing for the paupers' useful employnaent. Opportunities for such employment are wanting in many parishes, in others exist in fortns too large to he under[altcn, and in still snore numerous in stances exist useles-dy, in consequence of the jealousies which always act most powerfully in small neighbour • hoods. It appears that one of the first preliminary measures must he the preparing for the able-bodied more of this employment than we believe that they will accept." "Employment of some kind can indeed be al,ways provided, but it appears to us that it ought to be useful employment. Parish officers, whilst they have had suf ficient labour of this description before their doors, in their unwillingness or their inability to take upon them selves the trouble of superintendence, or to make any immediate pecuniary sacrifice for the purpose of enforc ing the performance of that labour, have resorted to the expedient of sending paupers on fictitious errands, with baskets full of stones, or blank paper, directed as letters, and other devices of the same nature, obviously intended to torment them. Such contrivances are pernicious in the revengeful feelings which they generate in the minds of the paupers themselves, and they are also pernicious in exciting sympathy in behalf of the indo lent and vicious, and in the obstacles which they create to the use of legitimate labour and salutary discipline we believe that they ought to be carefully prevented. The association of the utility of labour to both partiz..s, the employer as well as the employed, is one which we consider it most important to preserve and strengthen, and we deem everything mischievous which unneces saril y gives to it a repulsive aspect. At the same time we believe that in extended districts the requisite sources of employment will be easily found. The supply of the articles consumed in workhouses and prisons will afford a large outlet for the manufactures carried on in the house ; and with respect to out-door employment, it is probable there are few districts to which such evi dence as that contained in the following extracts would not be applicable." The work exemplified is town drainage, and road making and road repair. It may be asserted that, in general, public work may be found within the district of the union, possessing the qualities recommended, if the officers entrusted with the local administration of the law exercise due diligence. The recommendation of such a process as that in question, because it is easy of application, because it is efficient, that is to say, severe as a test, may amount only to this, that it saves the union officers the trouble of providing and superintend ing useful and less objectionable stock, or materials on which to set the applicant on work, or, in other words, pauperises the officer at the expense of the pauper. The doctrine propounded, that no work should be undertaken which interferes with private labour, is open to much observation. Its application to the process in question is mistaken in fact, as it will be seen from the price current of measures, and their prices in London in October last, given in Messrs. Johnson and Shaw's Agri 'cultural Almanac for this year, that bone-dust is a re viler article of manufacture and private commerce. DIIEL.—A letter from Munster states a duel took place close to that town, under the sanction of one of the tribunals of honour now established throughout the Russian army. It appears that Baron de Denkhaus, a lieutenant of the 11th regiment of Hussars, having, when playing billiards, used some insulting expression to Lieut. de Bounhart, of the 1 3th Infantry, th e l a tte r b ro ught the matter before the Tri bunal tthhe. induce al of H onour o f t h e place.

On the ar rival of the combatants a newattemptunsuccessful, was made to effect a reconciliation, but, on its proving the opponents were directed to choose out sabres with ce their eyes blind folded, and then, with head bare, and in their s commence the attac4. They fought with greatletm sleeve, to ora tion, M. de Bounhar receiving two slight cut s on the arm, but soon after giving M. de Denkhaus a severe wound on the thigh which prevented his standing. The fight was declared at an end. After the first medical aid was given, the judges recommended the disputants to be reconciled, which they consented to, and shook hands amidst the cheers of the multi tude. All the parties concerned then withdrew. This is the first duel authorised by any tribunal of honour, reconcilia tion having been effected in all the other cases brought be fore them. ATTEMPTED ASSASSINATION.—On Thursday an at tempt was made to assassinate Mr. Charles Farrell, of Dalys town, justice of the peace, near Loughrea, in the county 9f Galway. This gentleman observed a strange man at his parlour window, looking in very intently. He asked, his business ? " Charity," replied the fellow. He was told there was nothing for him, whereupon he presented a paper to Mr. Farrell, which he refused to look at. This movement was evidently intended to arrest the attention of that gentleman, for the fellow drew a pistol from his breast. and was in the act of cocking it, when Mr. Farrell rushed towards him, call ing to his servants. The intended assassin was apprehended after a run of three miles across the country, and on his per son were found two ball cartridges, together with the loaded pistol. He was identified at the gaol of Loughrea. His name is Burke, and had just beau liberated after a sixmonths imprionment for robbery, RAILWAY COMMITTEES (YESTERDAY). HOUSE OF LORDS. Room A.

The CHAIRMAN—I think it will cost more time to hear the argument than to admit the locus standi. Mr. Austin accordingly gave way. Mr. Erringten's examination and cross-examination being concluded, several other witnesses were called and examined, who gave evidence in support of that given yesterday, on general points. The case for the promoters of the Bill occupied their Lord ships the whole day, and was not concluded when they rose (at four o'clock). They adjourned till to-morrow at eleven.

(ContinueAl from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) - • Their Lordships were occupied the greater part of the morning with a discussion as to the propriety of inserting a clause, proposed by the opposing company, as to the nature in which the junction should be formed. The Committee (after clearing the room on this point) refused to admit this clause, but expressed their decided opinion that a clause to render the junction more convenient ought to be inserted. They would leave it to the engineers and surveyors of the companies to arrange the matter between them. They were determined upon inserting a clause. Several witnesses were then called, and gave evidence in corroboration of that given yesterday, which was reported with sufficient fulness in The Sun. _ ...- The case for the promoters being concluded, that for the opponents was proceeded with ; after which the Commit tee passed the preamble of the Bill. The consideration of the clauses was postponed on account of the lateness of the hour, and the Committee rose at four o'clock, and adjourned till to morrow, when they will hear the case for the promoters of the Fleetwood, Preston, and West Riding Junction. ' Room 5. BUCILINGIZAIVLSIIIRM ( TRING TO BAN. BURY). The Committee on the above Bill met, to take into con sideration the points on which it had been re-committed, in Room 5 (Committee rooms in Abingdon-street). Lord Stanley took the chair as usual. There was no opposition; and, after the adjustment of some of the clauses, the Committee passed the Bill in its amended form, and then rose finally. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP XVII. IMPORTANT DECISION. IVIANCHESTEM AND SOI7THABIPTON AND SOUTH-WESTERN (ROMSEY AND RED BRIDGE BRANCH). The Committee met this morning shortly after twelve o'clock ; present, the Hon. E. Yorke, the Hon. Mr. Tollemache, Sir Walter James, Mr. Brocklehurst, and Mr. Kerr. The CHAIRMAN ordered the room to be cleared, and the Committee remained in deliberation until a quarter past three o'clock, when the parties and the public were admitted. The CHAIRMAN said the Committee have to announce to the parties, that the preamble of the Romsey and Redbridge Branch is not proved, and that the preamble of the Man cheater and Southampton Bill is proved. But the Cotnmittee insist on the insertion of a clause, providing that the line between Romsey and Redbridge shall be common to both the South-Western and the Manchester and Southampton Company, with equal participation in the advantages result ing from the station at Romsey and the line south of Rom sey, and the use of the terminus of the Manchester and. Southampton line and the tramways along the quays to the docks. The Committee then proceeded to go through the clauses of the Bill. GROUP XXXIII. • The Committee upon this group re-assembled at half-past one o'clock this day, in Room No. 24 (Grand Corridor), Sir R. Ferguson in the chair, for the re-committal of the Star/LINGUA= A. 1733 OXFORD JUNCTION Bill ; pursuant to a resolution of the House yesterday. The clauses for which the Bill had been re-committed were under consideration the whole of the morning. The Committee did not think it expedient to go into the question of the tolls of the Great Western Railway, but in serted special clauses in the Bill to provide for a revision of the tolls in the event of an amalgamation being carried into effect. In the case of the other Bill, the OnranD AND 21.1 - 4211.7.Nt;ZAIVE TUNCrION (BIRMIN GEL.= EXTZINSXON). The Committee came to the same decision, and then separated. GROUP LXI The Committee met to-day, at twelve o'clock, in Room No. 26 (Grand Corridor), Sir John Duckworth in the chair; and proceeded with the consideration of the LIMN lIIITILGH AND GLASGOW Inn ON CANAL. The preamble of this Bill having; been agreed to yester-. day, the Committee was occupied the whole of the morning in going through the clauses. The clauses were not all gOne through at half-past three o'clock, when the Committee poStponed the further considera tion till to-morrow, and • proceeded with the evidence re specting the other Canal-Railway Bill in the group—namely, the GLASGOW, PAISLEY, AND JOHNSTONE CANAL SALE. The hearing of this evidence occupied the remainder of the sitting. It pertained merely to the great deprecation of the canal property by railway competition. GROUP LXIII. The Committee met this morning at twelve o'clock, Mr. Tatton Egerton in the chair, to go through the clauses of the NEIATZ,Y, VtTARRENPOZZZT, AND jZOSSTIT.EVGR. Bill. Considerable opposition was offered to the line by Mr. Hall, across whose pleasure grounds the line is partially to pass. Several witnesses were called to show the injury that would be done to the property, and the propriety of putting in a clause compelling the company to deviate so as to save Mr. Hall's grounds by encroaching on the Newry river. It was brought out, in evidence, that Mr. Hall had promoted a line almost similar to the present in 1836. The room was now ordered to be cleared. _ The CPMRMAN informed parties, on their re-admission, that the Committee had rejected the clause tendered by Mr. Lowndes, counsel for Mr. Hall. They thought the company should be bound to construct the Parliamentary line, and were of opinion, that persons placed as Mr. Hall was, should be handsomely compensated by the company. Other clauses were then read, and after some amendments agreed to. This closed the labours of the Committee. STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEES. HOUSE OF LORDS. Their Lordships met, at twelve o'clock, in Room 1 (House of Lords), Lord Shaftesbury in the chair, and present, Lords Redesdale, Winchester, and Hawarden. There were but three Bills on the list, each of which had been adjourned from yesterday. LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM (COVENTRY TO NUNEATON). Their Lordships having heard the remaining evidence, de cided that the promoters of this Bill had proved compliance with the standing orders. NORTH WALES. The Committee made a similar decision in this case. COVENTRY, NUNEATON, BIRMINGHAM, AND LEICESTER. Compliance with the standing orders was also proved in this case. At ene o'clock their Lordships resolved themselves into a SELECT COMMMITTEE ON MERITS, in which capacity they proceeded with the further hearing of Doctor MacFarlane's (Glasgow College) Estate Bill, which had repeatedly been adjourned from day to day, each time engrossing a lion's share of the Committee's time and attention. It was the only Bill on the list. Their Lordships, having been occupied ever since one o'clock with McFarlane's Estate Bill, rose shortly before six, and adjourned till to-morrow. MARLBOROUGH HOUSE, PECKHAM.—On Monday last, the Grand Jury, at the Surrey Sessions, Newington, returned a true bill for an assault upon Mary Smith, against Josiah Evans, one of the relieving officers of the City of London Union, and George Bennett, a City pauper ; and, it being generally supposed that the case would have come on for trial yesterday, a great deal of interest was excited. It will be recollected that some weeks ago the defendant Bennett and Brace bad been brought to Lambeth police-court on a warrant charging them with committing a very savage assault upon two other casual paupers who had slept at Marlborough-house, named smith and Jones. On that occa sion the complainants did not appear, and there was too much reason to suppose that they had been kept out of the way intentionally, but at all events the defendants were discharged. From the publication of the case, and the facts set forth, the Poor Man's Guardian Society took up the matter, offered a reward for -the discovery of Smith and Jones, and the former was at length found out. A eecond warrant was then granted on the application of the Chairman of the Society, and Smith's own statement, against Bennett and Evans, and the case of assault, upon the hearing of the cas e , being clearly established against both defendants, the magistrate sent the case to the sessions. The witness was in attendance on Monday, and the grand jury, as above stated, found a true bill against the defendant, but the latter traversed it until the next session in October, when it will be heard at those sessions. TEE NATURAL SON OF NAPOLEON.—The suit insti tuted by Count Leon against the Countess de Luxbourg was, on Thursday, partly decided by the Cour Royale, which de clared that the defendant was the mother of the plaintiff, and adjudged her to make him a provision of 4,000 f. pendente lite, reserving the question of 6,000 f. per annum demanded by the Count.— Galignani. ACCIDENT FROM MACHINERY. — Some days ago the following sad accident occurred at a flatting mills establish ment in Lyons. Part of the dress of a youth of sixteen was caught in one of the wheels of the hydraulic engine, and he w as drawn into it. He was not missed at the moment, but as the wheel stopped, the workmen looked for the cause of the stoppage, and found the mutilated remains of the Victim.

EX PARTE JOHN (OR YAEOB) SOLOMON, IN RE SOLOMON. This was a renewed application by the bankrupt to have a fiat, issued against him on May 27, annulled, on the ground of its illegality, he being a minor during the period of trad ing. Against this it was urged by the assignees that the minority was an unfounded pretence, and that the bankrupt had held himself out to be of full age. The business as an outfitter was carried on at Bristol, and afterwards at Exeter. Mr. BACON, for the petitioner, stated the birth of the alleged bankrupt took place at Pinchauf, in Poland, on 8 Ab, 5585, in the Jewish calendar (July 23, 1825), and that the ceremony of circumcision and naming at Yaltob, the son of Joseph and Getal Solomon, took place on the following Sun day, in the synagogue of that town. Affidavits, in support of this statement, were made by Zena Rothschild, Catherine Wolfe, Joseph Solomon, and Lazarus Glans. The decision in " Benton v. Hodges" (9 Bingham), by the late Chief Justice Tindal, following previous decisions by Lord Eldon and others, held a commission against infants void. The CHIEF JUDGE said, evidence of infancy was sufficient, unless the conduct of the bankrupt had been such as to in duce the Court to refuse aid for relief from process. Mr. SWANSTON (with whom was Mr. C. C. Barber) op posed the application, on behalf of the assignees. If any doubt existed, it was hoped th% Court would leave the bank rupt to his remedy elsewhere. There were discrepancies in the affidavits, in place, time, and circumstances. He had the affidavits of various creditors who had known the bankrupt several years,'and who believed him to be at least 25 years of age. Two other creditors, Mr. Hathaway and Mr. Cousins, alleged that some considerable time past the bankrupt had said that he should attain kis majority in the course of a few months. There was also evidence to show that the bank rupt had undergone some personal change in order the better to support his juvenility. Mr. Samuel Thompson identified the bankrupt. Had known him two or three years. When last he saw him in Exeter he had whiskers, and was surprised by his altered appearance on meeting with him in London. Did not think the whiskers he had seen were artificial. John Solomon, the bankrupt, examined—Left Exeter three weeks ago for Weston-super-Mare, and there entered a hair dresser's shop .for the purpose of being shaved, when the barber shaved of the whole of his whiskers without his miss ing them at the timooo trifling was the extent of them. Gave no such directions, and could have had no motive for it, as he had then no expectation of being examined as to his age. Could identify the barber if at Weston, but did not remember his name or address. Had shaved himself since the loss of his whiskers. The identification of his birthday was chiefly attributable to its occurrence on a particular day, which was a black fast, in universal observance. Was mar ried in January, 1842, being then little more than 16 years of age. There is no difference in the ceremony where parties are minors. Ix some cases parties marry at the age of 13. The shaving operation took place three weeks back from the present day. The CHIEN JUDGE said, he never heard of a sober barber shaving off a young gentleman's whiskers, for there must be a risk of being,lcnocked down for damaging perhaps the whole of what constituted a stock-in-trade. Mr. SWANSTON urged the inconsistency of treating this , bankrupt as irresponsible, after carrying on business on his own account for years, occupying a house at a rent of 1501. per annum, and advertising for 2,000 journeymen tailors. Mr. BACON replied,.. . . The ourEvJui.cra did not think he ought to annul the fiat upon the evidence of Mr. Hathaway and Mr. Cousins by their affidavits filed against the application, but that evidence was the only circumstance which could have induced him to take that step. It appeared that there was a pending action, which would serve the purpose of inquiry ; and, being an action commenced, by one of the assignees before the fiat, might be conveniently adopted. On Mr. Swanston's application, and an offer to pay the difference in the expense, the Court directed the bankrupt to test his minority and the validity of the fiat by an action against the assignees, to be tried at Bristol, for illegal seizure of goods, wearing apparel, and household goods. EX PARTE BASTARD, IN RE WISE AND CO. Mr. MALINS applied relative to an alteration in an action Rending between the representatives of the Newton and Totnes Banks, which was opposed by Mr. Shapter. The CHIEF JUDGE declined altering the order at so dis tant a date without re-bearing the case. It might be true that the creditors were agreed, but he was not prepared to give it judicial formality. The names of creditors selected by the meeting might be added, as contemplated when the order was made. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, July 8. (Before Mr. Commissioner FosBLANQux.) LOAD HUNTINGTOWER'S INSOLVENCY. Mr. LEWIS applied to his Honour in this case this morning to name a day for the final order. Twelve months had ex pired since the insolvent appeared before the Court, and after his Honour had read over his notes, he would, perhaps, be pleased to fix a day for the order prayed. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE (who was busily em ployed with other business at the moment), said—Take an other opportunity to speak to me; to-day or to-morrow, or when you are here, will do just as well. Mr. LEWIS thanked his Honour, and left the Court. SMITH, HOLT, AND NEALE'S BANKRUPTCY. The sitting in this case was for the proof of debts, and ad journed choice of assignees. The bankrupts were the pro• prietors, printers, and publishers of the Iron Times, and carried on their business in Fleet-street. We have reported the former part of the proceedings under this fiat. The first proof opposed and rejected for the present was a claim made on behalf of Mr. John Smith, of Birmingham, for money lent to carry on the paper. The bankrupt Holt was the only person who could give evidence of the advance, but as the sum appeared nowhere in the books of the estate, it was ordered to stand over till a better case could be made (;11 Another proof was tendered on an affidavit for Mr. C. W. Burman, of Salop, whose claim, 901., was also for money lent. The bankrupt Holt said this advance was entered in the books, and the cashier, George Neale, could speak to the.re ceipt of the money in Wolverhampton notes. Mr. Lee said this proof was one like many others about to be brought forward, concocted for the purpose of influencing the choice of assignees. The Mr. Burman, who it was said had advanced this money, was the secretary of a company called " The Circulating Omnibus Company."—(Laughter.) Instead of being.a creditor under the estate, he (Mr. Lee) should say he was a debtor for a great number of advertise ments having been inserted respecting that company. He also very much doubted, from what he knew of Mr. Burman, whether he really was in a condition to lend money. Mr. Cross (solicitor to several creditors)—And we under stand that he is not resident in Shropshire, but in Arundel street, in the Strand. Mr. Lee confirmed this statement. He had called on Mr. Barman, in Arundel-street, and there was a brass plate on the door of the house in which he resided. The bankrupt Holt denied that there was a brass plate on the door. It was true Mr. Burman occasionally lodged there ; his proper and continued residence, however, was in Shropshire. The fact was he (Holt) projected the Circulat ing Omnibus Company himself, and prepared an advertise ment of a column, which was to be inserted and left as stand ing matter to save composition. That, he said, Mr. Lee knew very well. Mr. Commissioner FONULANQUE said, as it appeared Mr. Burman was frequently in the habit of coming to town, it would be more satisfactory to the Court to see him than ac cept his affidavit. The proof must stand over for personal attendance. The proof of George Carter Neale, one of the clerks and cashiers of the Iron Times office,. was also ordered to be ad journed, some allegations respecting erasures and mutilations in the books requiring explanation in connexion with his claim. A person of the name of Edwards sought to prove for 1001., as salary for services in the office of secretary to the Iron Times Company. It appeared that he was engaged by Holt and other persons not included in the present partner ship, and the objection raised of its not being a joint debt, as far as concerned Holt, Neale, and Smith, was therefore fatal to the claim. A bill for the hire of a barouche was also resisted, the debt being incurred individually by Holt, although it was admitted that the vehicle was, used ia the business of the paper and other railway concerns. The creditor, however, having sued 'Telt for the amount, and obtained a judgment against him, believing him to be the sole responsible party, the Court de cided that he could not prove against the joint estate. This concluded the inquiry into debts. Upon the question of choice, it was said by the bankrupts' solicitor, that they offered no one for the appointment. Mr. Caoss, for the creditors, said they proposed for the office of assignees, Mr. D. Baufer, of Creed-lane, gas-fitter, and Mr. J. Elkin ' reporter. They had signatures to the amount of 1,0001. in favour of these parties. The bankrupt Holt—That is very satisfactory. We only want parties who will be of benefit to the estate. These people are well calculated for the duty; one is a tradesman, the other understands the business of a paper, and its acceunts. _ _ The choice of assignees was made accordingly, and the case was then adjourned. SECONDARIES' COURT, July S. (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER. ) BARLOW V. BROWN-RESPONSIBILITIES OF EXECUTORS, This was an action brought by the plaintiff who is a clerk in the London and County Joint-stock Bank, at Bishop's Stortford, against the defendant, who resides at Manchester, to recover the sum of 61. 17s. 6d. for money had and received to and for the use of the plaintiff, under peculiar circum stances. It appeared, from the evidence, that the plaintiff and others were entitled to shares in a legacy left by a Mr. Grantham, of Hind, near Wigan. A Mr. Oddy was appointed one of the executors , but he being, from some unexplained cause, unable to attend to th e duties of the office, spoke to his son-in-law to carry out the object of the testator. It further appeared that the defendant did so, and the question now arose whe ther he had any claim against the legatees in obtaining evidence of their rights. It was contended by Ur' PETERSDORFF that the executor was bound to make a ll those inquiries at the cost of the estate, and that he could not delegate his duty to an agent, so as to render the legatees liable to the agent. The SECONDARY was of the same opinion, but a verdict was taken for the plaintiff on the point of law. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT COILLIAM (Before Baron ALDERSON, gr. JU Robe r t B ur k e , aged OLD waso counterfeit shillings, and it wa s proved that he h a d beenu!tviT.cioe c on victed lVd of uttering sand two the LORD Bl Ayou). before convicted of a similar offence, and that he had also been charged a number of times at the police offices with uttering base coin. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS said that after what had been stated, I he considered it was hopeless to expect that the prisoner could come to any good in this country, and the sentence therefore necessarily was, that he be transported for ten years. Henry 'talky, 34, cha i rma ker, was indicted for feloni ous l y cutting and wounding-Lucy Harley, with intent to murder her. It appeared that the parties were man and wife, but they had separated, and on the day mentioned in the indictment, the prisoner went to the house where the prosecutrix w a s staying, and, apparently without a n y Provocation he seized a carving knife and stabbed her in the lower part of her person, inflicting a dreadful wound three inches deep. For the defence some witnesses were called to make out a case of insanity. The evidence, however, merely w en t to show that the pri soner , i n o ne bis versions, had made use of some absurd and incoherent expressions. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS having left the case to the jury, they deliberated a short time, and then returned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned JUDGE inquired of the jury whether they were of opinion that at the time the prisoner committed the act imputed to him, he was per fectly aware of its quality and the consequences likely to result from it. The jury replied that they believed he was •quite . sane when he committed the offence. The Learned JrDGE then ordered the sentence of Death to be recorded. NE E W COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) Ellen Love, 18, and Sarah ,Veedk, 18, two well-dreoed young women, were indicted for breaking into the dwelling house of Robert Cox, and stealing 24 silver spoons, value 351., his property. Mr. Robinson prosecuted, and Messrs. Payne and Huddle stone defended the prisoners. It appeared from the evidence, that on the 13th of June the servant of the prosecutor, who resides in Albany-road, Camberwell, was walking in the garden, when she observed the prisoner Love come out of the house with the plate basket on her arm. She asked her what she had got, and she re plied, " Nothing," and at the same moment the other pri soner came up and said it was all right. The servant said she thought it was all wrong, and they had got the plate basket, and the prisoners then forced themselves away; but, upon her giving an alarm, they were pursusd and taken into custody. Thejury found the prisoners guilty of stealing the pro perty, and negatived the charge of breaking into the house. The moment the verdict was announced a terrible outcry arose in the gallery, and an elderly well-dressed woman began, in almost the same breath, and with the utmost volu bility, to utter imprecations upon the witnesses and beg for mercy from the Court, and it was with great difficulty that she was removed. Evidence was then given to show that the prisoner Love had been before convicted for felony. Both the prisoners impeded the business of the Court for a considerable time by their frantic cries, and when silence was at length obtained, the Court sentenced Love to be trans ported for seven years ; and the other prisoner, who appeared to have been drawn into the offence by her companion, was sentenced to hard labour for nine months. William Graham, the commander of the ship Grainge, was indicted for assaulting Thomas Singleton and. James Barn, upon the high seas, and within the jurisdiction of the Admi ralty of England. Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Evans defended the prisoner. The circumstances under which this charge arose have been detailed within the last few days in the police reports, and it will, therefore, be unnecessary to repeat them at length on the present occasion. The complainants both deposed to various acts of violence being committed upon them by the defendant while the vessel was off the Cape and other portions of the homeward voyage, and their evidence was confirmed by some others of the crew. Mr. BALLANTINE, on behalf of the defendant, said he did not deny that some punishment had been indicted upon the complainants, but he said that they had bro u g ht it u p on themselves by their own insubordinate conduct and their in solence to the captain. Some of the seamen engaged on board the vessel were called on behalf of the defendant, and they deposed that on various occasions the complainants bad disobeyed the orders of the captain, and had behaved in an insolent manner to him. The jury. after deliberating for half an hour, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The defendant was then arraigned upon another indict ment, charging him with assaulting the black cook on board the vessel. In this case the jury returned a verdict, finding the de fendant Guilty of a common assault. The Consiox SERGEANT said the Court was aware of the great responsibility that was thrown upon the commander of a vessel, and it was always anxious to extend the -fullest protection to a person placed in that situation. At the same time it was equally necessary that the persons under their control should be protected from any undue exercise of authority or violence ; and in this case it appeared to him perfectly clear that excessive chastisement had been inflicted upon the _poor men ; and, however painful it was to the Court to pass a sentence of imprisonment upon a person in the defendant's position, he felt that he had no alternative but to take such a step as a warning to other persons in the defendant's position, not to abuse the trust reposed in them, and treat with cruelty those who were placed under their control. He then sentenced the defendant to be confined for six months in the Milbank Prison. THIRD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON, &c.) William Woolfe was indicted upon three counts :—First, with intending to assault a constable when in the discharge of his duty ; second, with intent to inflict grievous bodily harm ; third, with, by unlawful interference, effecting the escape of a prisoner from lawful custody. Mr. Clark was counsel for the prosecution, and stated the case to the jury at considerable length, glancing at the lead ing facts. It appeared by the evidence, that on Tuesday, the 2d of June, Wm. Ching, the prosecutor, who is sergeant in the D division, went with Inspector Thornton, 109, to a mews in Marylebone, in order to quell a disturbance. A man of the name of Pickley, who had been fighting with the pri soner, was taken into custody, whom the prisoner tried to rescue, and urged others to aid him. The prisoner succeeded in getting Pickley away, but he was soon recaptured. The prisoner then renewed his threats, and told Ching he would either rescue him again or have his (Ching's) life ; and he attempted to fulfil his threat by hurling a brick-bat at his head, the force of the blow rendered him senseless, and Pickley again escaped. Mr. Randall Vickers, the surgeon of the D division of me tropolition police, deposed that he examined the head of the prosecutor ; there was a lacerated wound on the top of the cranium, two and a half inches long, and the bone was laid bare ; there were also other wounds on the head and face which were likely to be of serious consequence, but for timely and proper treatment. The Learned JUDGE said that the evidence was not suffi ciently strong to warrant a conviction on the first count ; with respect to the second count the evidence was very strong, for it was proved that grievous bodily harm was done by the prisoner ; and that he was guilty on the third count there could be no doubt, for the man Pickley had got away from his captors through the intervention of the prisoner at the bar. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty on the second and third counts, acquitting him on the first. Mr. CLARK informed his Lordship that Woolfo hid been three or four times convicted of assaults, and in 1844 he was found guilty of a sanguinary assault on a constable of the name of Kay, who died shortly afterwards. llis LORDSHIP said the case was one of a very serious de scription. Such outrages were getting very common, but the Court would try to stop the evil by making an example of the prisoner. After some very impressive remarks his Lord ship directed that the prisoner be transported and be sent beyond the seas for ten years. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Ann Sarah Grundy, a young woman about twenty years of age, rather smartly attired, was charged with intending to drown herself at Blackfriars-bridge. The officer said she went down the steps about two o'clock the preceding day, andsuspecting her object, he followed and questioned her. Being satisfied of her intention, he took her to the station, where in the course of the night she made an attempt to strangle herself. Some duplicates and a tally-shop account showed that she was struggling with pecuniary difficulties, and it was stated that she had made an attempt to poison herself a few days ago. Mr. Alderman IItiNTER said it was not necessary to in quire into her private affairs. She might send for:any friends who would be likely to take charge of her, hut he could not trust her with her liberty at present. She must be detained for a day or two, that she might reflect upon the guilt of the crime she had contemplated, and that the chaplain of the prison might reason with her on the subject —She was re manded tilt Friday. BO W-STREET. An idler in Hungerford-market, named Fordo. ' was charged with exposing indecent prints for sale in that locality. It was proved by an officer in the employ of the Society for the Suppression of Vice that the prisoner was offering his filthy productions to persons of both sexes in the market, and sold one of them to witness for ld., upon which he gave him into custody. It having been proved that the prisoner was in the habit of dealing in such commodities, Mr.JARDirrE committed him to hard labour for six weeks. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Mr. Massingham, of John-street, Golden-square, was sum moned by Mr. Pratt, trunk-maker, Bond-street, for detaining a nortmanteau, value, V. 10s. Mr. Pratt said a portmanteau was ordered by a Baron d'Ebro last week to be sent to his lodgings, in John-street. The portmanteau was left on Friday at the defendant's house for the Baron, and on the following Saturday, when application was made for the money, it was ascertained that the Baron had been excluded from his lodgings, and that it would not be advisable to trust him with the portmanteau. Complainant having ascertained that the portmanteau, which of course had never been paid for, was in Mr. Massingharn's house, applied to have it restored to him, but met with a refusal, and consequently he was obliged to take .out the present summons. Mr. Massingham justified his refusal to return the port manteau on the ground that the Baron was in his debt for lodging. He had taken the advice of his solicitor on the sub ject of detaining the portmanteau, and he had been advised that he could keep possession of the property until his claim against Baron d'Ebro was discharged. Mr. MALTBY said it appeared to him the defendant was not justified in keeping the portmanteau, and he should there fore order it to be delivered up to Mr. Pratt. _ _ Mr. Massingham said he should not part with possession of the property. Mr. MALTBY , said, he should make an order on him for the delivery of the portmanteau, and if that order was not obeyed, a distress warrant for the amount would be issued. Mr. Massingham said the goods were the property of Baron d'Ebro, and he had a legal right to detain all Baron d'Ebro's propery until the arrear of rent due to him was dis charged. Mr. Pratt said Mr. Massingham had deprived himself of all remedy against Baron d'Ebro by turning him out of his lodgings. He did not know where to find Baron d'Ebro now. Mr. MALTBY directed that evidence of this allegation should be taken down in writing, which having been done, the order on the defendant was made out forthwith. WORSHIP-STREET. Mary and Jeremiah Roscoe, mother and son, who already stand committed for trial upon the chargo of stealing mis cellaneous property of the value of nearly 1,500/. from the premises of their late employer, Mr. R. Rowlandson, a carpet warehouseman, in Whitechapel, were again placed at the bar, charged with stealing articles of a similar description, of the value of nearly 2001., from the premises of Mr. Joseph Jack son, an upholsterer, in Shoreditch. The prosecutor stated, that both prisoners had been in the habit of calling at his warehouse to purchase goods,to manu facture at the house of the female prisoner's husband, who was a mattress maker, and that on entering the warehouse early one morning in March last, he found the younger pri soner in the act of packing up a large bale of cotton; but seeing his foreman with him, and being assured he was mak ing a purchase, his suspicions were then lulled, and he went away. Having subsequently received information, however, that the shopman in question was deeply implicated with the prisoners in an extensive system of robbery from his premises he examined his stock, and discovered that amongst other property which had been stolen, were four feather-beds and a writing-desk, which had been since found at the house of the prisoners, and were now in the care of the police. He had since discharged the shopman who had been in collu sion with the prisoners, but he was afterwards seized with a severe illness, which precluded his proceeding against him also. . A cabman named Norman proved that he had been em ployed by the male prisoner to remove the property in ques tion from the prosecutor's premises at an early hour in the morning, before they were opened, to the house of the woman Roscoe, who received them ; and Smith and Day, two policemen, deposed to finding it there, with a large quantity of other goods since identified ; the latter officer adding that he had seen the male prisoner in conversation with Norman after the last examination, when he begged him, "for God's sake, to know nothing of the beds." The prisoners, by the advice of their solicitor, Mr. Pelham, reserved their defence, and were then fully committed for trial upon both charges. SOUTHWARK. Several r espectable-lookipg Young men att en d e d b e f ore Mr. Cottingham to solicit his advice and assistance under the following circumstances: — One of the applicants, a Mr. Bailey, stated that he lives at No. 20, King-street, Tower-hill, and that about ten days ago he saw an advertisement in the Times stating that several assistant ourveyere were required for the Yea and Carlisle Railway, and that inquiries respecting the same were to be made at his (applicant's) residence as abovementioned. Applicant not having given any person permission to refer for information on the subject at his dwelling, was much sur prised ; but in the course of the day he was waited upon by a person giving his name and address Mr. England, No. 11, Queen's-row, Spa-road, Bermondsey, who said that he was the author of the advertisement alluded to, and that he availed himself of the liberty of requesting the persons who wished to answer it either to call at, or write to, the address in King-street, it being more centrally situated than his own residence in the Queen's-row, Spa-road. He further stated that he was principal surveyor of the York and Carlisle Railway, having had his appointment from a Mr. William son, of Cannon-row, Westminster; and as there was consi derable work to be done in his department of the company's service, he was authorised to engage a number of assistants, and that his terms would be at the rate of three and five guineas a week each for their services. Applicant, from the re spectability of the man's appearance, and the apparent truth of his statement, saw no reason for preventing inquirers calling there; and having a son of his own that he was anxious to provide with a situation, the advertiser, on being spoken to on the subject, readily undertook to employ the young man, and claimed a guinea for placing him in the si tuation. Applicant readily consented to the agreement, and accordingly handed over the money, and the " surveyor " promised to call on Monday last to take the young man down to the scene of operations in the north, together with several others, whom he had engaged under similar circum stances. On inquiries being made it was found that England had been employed by Mr. Williamson, but was afterwards dis charged, and that the company knew nothing of him or his transactions. Two other persons, named Roughton and Young, stated that they had paid England a guinea under the same repre sentations. Mr. CorriNGirnst stated that he regretted he could not grant the applicants any redress, as the false pretence could not be sustained in either of the cases. The man complained against, it appeared by what Williamson said, was engaged on the line, and for some reason had since been discharged from his situation. There was no doubt that the applicants had been deprived of their money, but they had parted with it of their own accord, and without making such inquiries as they were bound, for their own sakes, to do beforehand. He (the magistrate) added, that the applicants could recover the money they had given the person complained of by pro ceeding against him in the Court of Requests. He again regretted that he could not assist the applicants in the re covery of their money. The applicants then withdrew. WORKING STOCK OF RAILWAYS. Returns were, on Saturday, issued by order of the House of Lords, relative to the working stock of ex isting railways. The following are extracts therefrom, describing the stock of some of the railways; but the return is not yet completed:— LETTER FROM D, O'BRIEN, ESQ., TO B. CURRY, ESQ.

JOHN LATHAM, Secretary. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, JULY 7.—Since the middle of last week, some of the home trade houses have been buying goods rather more freely than before; but the com parative absence of shipping demand keeps the market quiet. Prices are, on the whole, well sustained. In the yarn market there has been little demand, and prices are not quite so firm. ROCHDALE, JULY 6.—There has been an extremely dull market today; few buyers have attended, and those few have purchased sparingly. The wool market has been much the same as that on the preceding Monday. HUDDERSFIELD, JULY 7.—There is considerable im provement in our market to-day. We have had a good attendance of buyers, and many sales might have been effected, had the manufacturers been inclined to make concessions; but as the stocks are low, there is no in ducement to sell until remunerative prices can be ob tained. LEEDS, JULY 7.—Although no actual improvement has taken place as yet in our markets, a decidedly better feeling, indicative of confidence, is daily gathering Strength; and, from the total absence of every political excitement, as well as from the cheering prospects of a good harvest, we may safely infer that a good business is close at hand.

CORONER'S INQUESTS. On Tuesday, Mr. W. Baker, the Deputy-Coroner, held an inquest at the London Hospital, on the body of Mary Ann Dee, aged sixteen, the young woman who lost her life by jumping out of window, at the fire which occurred on Saturday morning last, at the premises of Mr. Powell, King's-place, Commercial-road East. One of the house surgeons said, that deceased was admitted at an early hour on Saturday morning last, with a fracture of the skull, which was so severe that the brain was forced through the ear. She survived till Monday mo rn i ng . Mrs. Rosina Powell said that the deceased was her ser vant.- She slept in the top room of witness's premises. On the morning of Saturday last, about a quarter-past two o'clock, witness was alarmed by hearing the deceased screaming violently. On opening her bedroom, witness found that the house was on fire. Deceased was at that time on the upper landing. She called to the deceased to come down, but she replied, " Oh, I can .not." At that time there was very little smoke in wit ness's room, but she supposed that deceased's room was filled with smoke, from her having slept with the door open. Witness, her husband, and child, got out of the first floor front, and by walking alortg the ledge over the shop front, escaped. A ladder was 'called for, but before it could be adjusted, the deceased threw herself out of the window. On leaving the premises, witness found that the place was all on fire at the back. She did not know how the fire occurred. There was a great quan tity of straw in the back cellars, used for packing earthenware articles. Nearly the whole of the property was destroyed. It was insured, but not to the full value. —Mr. H. Powell said that a neighbour brought a ladder to the premises, which was too short to reach the top floor, in which deeeaed was. Whilst he was fixing it on the ledge over the shop, deceased threw herself out and fell on the foot pavement. He could not tell how the fire occurred.—ln answer to a Juror, it was stated that the Rettrvit fire-foop9 wall fit§ol2 l 34 at 4114419, $99 great a distance off to have been of any assistance Verdict, " Accidental death." The same Coroner afterwards held an inquest at the same place, on the body of David Bates, aged seven yfars. Emma Roberts, of 14, Crown -court, White" chapel, said that the deemsed was in the care of it' grandmother, who lived next door to witness. Ort tb`; morning of Saturday last, about two o'clock, the cbilq attracted the attention of witness, by screaming 1 31 °,' violently. On going out to ascertain the cause, s" e found the deceased's clothes in a general blaze, the child at the time was rolling itself on a bed in - which a feria 3lc lodger was sleepi ng . Wit ness p rocure d a couple °f pails of water, which she threw over the bed and c hild' and by that means succeeded in getting the fire extin guished. The deceased was taken by witness to t 1? above hospital. The grandmother at the time• was in the court, in a state of intoxication. Had it not been for, witness's arrival at the house of deceas e d, she believe" that the lodger would also have perished, for the Non' was filled with smoke, and the woman appeared nearly suffocated. Verdict, "Accidental death," and the Jury f requested the Coroi.er to censure the gross conduct c) r , the grandmother, for leaving the deceased unprotecte' at that early hour of the morning. EXECUTION OF TH.bTRABET- GAMES. We learn from Perpignan that the four Trabucaires who were condemned to death on the 28th March last b.); the Court of Assizes fo r th e Pyrenees of Orienteles, an w of whose trial we gave a report, were executed on tr 27th ult. They seemed to have fully anticipated tl' e f failure of their app ea l t o th e C our t o f C assa tion, and ° their petition to the King for pardon, and received t ile announcement of their fate without any apparent ew e ; nion ; all the bravado they displayed at the monie ll when they received their sentence having subsided into complete resignation, and they received the last offices ° religion with all due htimility and respect. They as l `, e , a pardon of all the world ; and Pujade, the accomplice iv % turned informer, and was admitted as a witness again them, being brought to them, they said, " You are t`:_ , cause of our death, but as you said nothing but the trututic we pardon you, as we hope you will forgive us." Ab o o four in the morning Icazes and Matheu, who were t°" 00 executed at Perpignan, were brought out of their pr ls to be conducted to the scaffold. A long procession to . Black Penitents from Spain was waiting in the street receive them, bearing a crucifix co v ered with 13 15 ch cloth, and carrying li g hted t orc h es o f re d wa x, win- c Ae with the doleful sound o f th e t o lli ng d ea th-b e ll, 1 0 ,, d '' the scene unusually solemn. The t wo men wa lked ", through a dense crowd. On reaching the foot of tb l ; ladder, Icazes mounted without any hesitation, but wi t . a face so pale that his emotions were evidently severe , painful. W hen his fate was sealed, Matheu's tum came ;, nature assumed her empire over him, and he shrunk b ee io from the fatal ladder, and asked for something to dr i ,%e this, however, was refused him ; and then, yielu l , - ; to the instances of the executioner and the exhor' tions of the confessor, he went slowly up the stlh When on the platform, he first begged that a S!, o2 ' ll er , priest who had been in attendance upon the pris oll ,o might be allowed to come to him once more. Thi s I .` c o assented to, and they embraced each other. The Vr i es , having retired, Matheu entreated that the blood of Laz o ,' which still stained the axe, might be washed off ; this being done, the executioner and his mari seized bl. e i fastened him to the plank, and performed the last upon him. The two bodies were put into coffins, 9 0, carried to the chur c h, s till a ttended by the Black 13? 'y tents, who recited the funeral service ever thew• o r all persons condemned to death who have availed th( is selves of the services of the Penitents become Menl b of the fraternity, the names of Icazes .and Mathen, l 0 , inscribed as such in the register of the congrega te a l Half•an-hour after this scene was over, Simon and Sogis the other two victims of a just judgment, were taket l A o a cellular van to Ceret, where they were to un de ' capital punishment at four in the afternoon.
