MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY. We have received a fair average quantity of English Wheat, coastwise as well as by land carriage, for our market this week, and the stands to d:iy were well supplied wpi►h samples, many of which were left over from Monday. The attendance of buyers being Smell, the demand was in a very inactive state, at the late decline in value. In line Foreign Wheats next to nothing was doing. yet the quotations were mostly supported. Corn, under lock, was a mere drug, and almost nom►nal in value; for export nothing was doing. Malting Barley was in moderate request, at lull prices. In other kinds next to nothing was passing. The Malt trade was very dull, and lower rates are pretty generally expected Oats, 'leans, Peas, and Flour were heavy, and the turn lower. Wheat. ARRIVALS. I Barley. English • ..• .. Irish ........

The remainder of the day was occupied in the hearing of cases of disputed pauper settlements, which involved no points of interest. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) THE QUEEN V. THE MAYOR AND ASSESSORS OF THE BO- ROUGH OF ST. ALBAN'S. Mr. WELLSBY moved for a rule que warranto against the Mayor of St. Alban's, and a person named Joseph Russell, and called on them to show by what authority the said Joseph Russell claimed to exercise the office of town councillor of St. Alban's. The Learned Council stated that the motion was made upon two grounds. The first was, that Mr. Russell, the party elected, had not a majority of votes, and that the numbers had been incorrectly taken at the poll ; and the second was, that one of the assessors, who acted as deputy for Mr. Harrison, was incompetent to act. The facts were simply these :—The offices of four town councillors of the bo rough having become vacant, an election took place be fore the Mayor and assessors, one of whom (Mr. Wingrave) acted for Mr. Jacob Harrison. On the 2d of November, the day of the election, the candidates were Messrs. Lowe, Kent, Russell, Kinder, Shrubb, and Lewis. Two gentleman acted as pll clerks for some of the candidates, and took a correct list of all the votes, and their numbers were, for Mr. Lowe 272, for Shrub 247, for Kent 246, and for Mr. Gibson 243. The votes were examined that evening in the Town hall, in presence of the mayor, assessors, and town. clerk (Mr. Blagg), and the next day the numbers were de clared, for Lowe 277, Kent 254, Russell 248, and Shrubb 245. The deponent stated, that having great doubts as to the correctness of this return, Mr. W illiams, one of the poll-clerks, Ne cut to the town-clerk to ir.sptct the voting papers. The town-clerk refused to allow the voting papers to be seen together, or any extract or comparisons to be made. Mr. Williams stated that the number of them was 473, and they could or.ly contain four votes each, making a total of 1,892 votes, whereas the mayor returned 1,904 votes as having been polled, making the number 12 more than could pos sibly have been given. Mr. Wingrave, who acted as de puty assessor, in place of Mr. Jacob Harrison, could not act legally, as the Act stated that no deputy should be appointed for an assessor, unless in case of sickness, and then only upon proper notice having been given. In the present instance Mr. Harrison was absent ill on his own private business, and no proper notice had been given.—The rule was granted. Mr. WELLSBY then moved for a rule absolute for a mandamus calling on the town• clerk to produce to Henry Williams the voting papers and to all ow hi m to h ave a full inspection of them.—Rulei granted. THE QUEEN V. THE JUSTICES OF WORCESTER. Mr. GRAVES applied for a rule to shew cause why a writ of mandamus should not issue, directed to two magistrates of the county of Worcester, to compel them to grant distress warrants against two parties who de clined paying the poors'-rate. The Learned Counsel stated that the facts of the case (which were some what peculiar) were these:--On the 10th of July a rate was made by a competent number of the churchwardens and overseers of the parish of Broadway in the county of Worcester. On the Sunday following notice of the rate was affixed to the church door, accord ing to the provisions of the Act. The notice declared a poor-rate of 6d. in the pound, and was signed by two of the churchwardens. An attorney in the palish re fused to pay the rate. On being summoned to show cause for his refusal, he objected that the rate was null and void, as the notice was not a good one. His clerk and son both made the same objection. The case came before the magistrates, and it was argued that as the no tice was signed by John Justin for J. Poole and Charles Mosley, it was void on two grounds; first, that no church warden had any power to sign by deputy, and, secondly, that the notice was not signed by a majority of the churchwardens and overseers. The objection was held good, and the rate became null and void. On the 12th of September following a rate similar to the former one in amount was declared, and the parties igain refused to pay. On being summoned they ad mitted the perfect regularity of the proceedings in this instance, but contended that the first ra t e was a good one, and held good until it had been regularly quashed at the quarter sessions, and that the last rate being a concurrent rate could not be valid. The magistrates who were puzzled by these proceedings refused to grant a distress warrant, and the parties were compelled to come to this Court to compel them. '1 he first rate was most certainly null and void by the Act 7th Wm. IV., and Vic. 1., chap. 45, and therefore the second rate must necessarily be legal, as all due forms had been omplied with.

WING This case, which was in parthcard yesterday, was again proceeded with to-day. Mr. Chambers and Mr. Lush appeared for the plain tiff; Mr. Whitehur,t and Mr. Mellor for the defendant. TLis was an action brought to recover possession of a cabriclet, some harness, and other articles required fur the str.ble, which the defendant refused to give up. The plaintiff was agentleman who was residing at Brett's Hotel, Holborn, and being in want of a temporary supply of cash, requested defendant to advance the sum of 301. upon the cab, and other articles, to which the defendant acceded, and he gate a receipt accordingly for the money, to which receipt was attached an inventory of the goods offer, das security for the loan. Subsequently the plain tiff tendered the amount of the loan, with interest, and also the expenses of the standing of the cab at the livery stables, but the defendant refused to give' tip pos session of the goods, eontendingthat the sum of 301., as gßid by them, was f or the purchase out and out o f t h e ods in question. On the \ part of the plaintiff several witnesses were called, among others the groom to the plaintiff, who stated that his master had frequently been out in the cab since the date of the transaction, and also that he was originally engaged by him to attend to his cab, and that he had continued to do so after the alleged sale had taken place. A c3achmaker was also called, who had offered 701. the cab. Mr. Baron PLATT, in summing up, thought it highly improbable that the groom of the plaintiff should be kept by him to wash and keep in order the cab, if the plaintiff had actually sold it to the defendant, and also that it was unlikely that the plaintiff should have sold for 30/. that for *hick other persons had offered him at least double the sum. The jury immediately returned a verdict for the plain tiff, damages 641. 65., to be reduced to one shilling on payment by the defendant of the sum of 351., the latter sum including interest on the money advanced, and also the expenses of the cab at livery.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) (Before the ASSISTANT JUDGE and a full Bench of Magistrates.) This morning several prisoners were discharged by proclamation. The grand jury having ignored the bills in 18 cases, the remainder being liberated owing to the nonappearance of prosecutors or witnesses. Ann Aked, a very old and infirm woman, was con victed of stealing a drinking glass, the property of William Hart, the proprietor of a public house in John street, St. Luke's. The Learned ASSISTANT-JUDGE said the prisoner, in his (pinion, was a practised hand, yet, in consideration of her age, he felt inclined to deal leniently with her. She was then sentenced to six months' imprisonment. Ann Bedford, was found guilty of stealing a pewter pot, the property of Daniel Skully, s a licensed victualler in Kent-street, and sentenced to four months' imprisoninent. Mary Anne Ryder was sentenced to six weeks im prisonment, for stealing eighteen yards of printed cotton, the property of Mary Duggan. John Stringer was indicted for stealing 11. 10s., the property of Mary Anne Rawson. It appeared that the prisoner and the prosecutrix lived in the same house, and on last Thursday, the latter left a purse in her room containing the above sum, a hich she missed soon afterwards and the purse was found empty in the prisoners room. A verdict of Guilty was returned, and the prisoner was sentenced to three months' imprisonment. Patrick Gray was indicted for stealing half a pound weigh of bacon, the property of Robert Walker Ormston. The constable who took the prisoner into custody said upon searching him he found him to be a pert( ct walking larder. Under his jacket and between his shirt and waistcoat he was completely lined with rashers of bacon, and in one skirt-pocket of his coat he had a piece cf beef and some lard, while in the other was a qua - itity of tea and coffee, and even his hat was filled with edibles. He also found 20s. in his trowsers pocket. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sen tenced to f.ur months',imprisonment, with hard labour. BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.) Christopher Walker, the Waterloo-bridge toll- collector, remanded from Saturday upon a charge of embezzle ment, was again brought before Mr. Henry this morning. Mr. Powell, solicitor to the Waterloo-bridge Company, attended for the prosecution. Mr. May, superintendent of the Essex county consta bulary, said that on the sth inst. the prisoner gave hire self up to him (witness) at the Litchfield station, saying that he was a toll-collector to the Waterloo-bridge Company, and had absconded with about 251. of their money. .He said that he had been in arrear, and had been obliged to borrow 41. to make up a deficiency, but having to pay the 41. on Saturday, the 31st October, out of the Company's money, he was unable to make up his accounts. In this extremity be absconded with what money he had received during the day, and, having been drinking ever since, he hardly knew where he was going or what he was doing. Mr. Bourne, assistant clerk in the Company's office, said that on the 31st ult., the prisoner, having been on duty from one o'clock on the day before, ought to have accounted for moneys received before two o'clock. Ile did not account for them, however, and had not been heard of since. On referring to the check kept at the gate,witness found that 6,280 passengers had gone through during the 24 hours in which the prisoner was on duty. He must have taken from each of them id., making in all 13Z is. Bd. This, together with sums deficient during the week, for which he had sent in I 0 U's, wonld make up 24/..195. 10d. Mr. HENRY could hear no evidence on that matter, as no sums for which he had sent in I 0 U's could be made the ground of a criminal charge. He, by acknowledging that such sums were due, had made them a debt. The prisoner when called on for his defence, said that he had been in arrear all the week, but had sent in I 0 U's, which was very commonly done. On Satur day, however, I 0 U's were not received, but it was necessary to make up the accounts properly. Being unable to do this, he became almost mad, and he did not know what he had done since. He had lost 101, he could not tell how. He believed that the whole sum deficient had been paid by a friend since he was in custody. Mr. Powell said that that was the case. Mr. HENRY said that it made no difference. It was no answer to the criminal charge to say that since the offence was committed the money had been returned. The prisoner was committed for trial, and he (Mr. Henry) thought the Company ought to prosecute, not withstanding the payment of the money. MARLBRO'-STREET.—(THIS DAY) William Biggs was placed at the bar this morning, charged with wilfully smashing a window, and carrying off a gold watch case, value 31. John Stevens, errand boy to Mr. Harborow, glover, 15, Cockspur- street, said he was passing up Great Wind mill-street between five and six o'clock, end saw the prisoner stand at Mr. Joel's window, and push his elbow through the glass and carry off a watch-case, which was hanging opposite. He ran after him, calling out "Stop thief 1" till he passed through Greek -court into Peter street. John Joel, watchmaker, 28, Great Windmill-street, said he was in the adjoining shop to his own yesterday afternoon, aid hearing a crash at his window he ran out and saw the glass was broken, the watch-case stolen from the nail, ar.d the defendant running. lie puru«l him into Peter street, where he overtook him lying on his back in a dark corner. The prisoner immediately said complainant was mistaken; he was not the man, and offered to be searched. Complainant refused to do ko himself, and gave him into custody. P.lice-constable 130 C, said he took the defendant into custody, and on searching him at the station fouLtel the case in his shoe. The defendant wns committed fur trial. Ann Sinnet was charged with attialing a hood and scarf; the property of William France. William France, undertaker, 2, Denmark-street, said he had to furnish out a large funeral in Monmouth court esterday, and after the corpse had been lifted on the shoulders of the bearers, as he observed one of the mourners rather tipsy he took away from her a hood and scarf. The prisoner, who was standing among the mourners, tffered to look after the articles, and to put them in his bag. When he returned, however, from the funeral the hood and scarf could not be found, and he was told the woman had taken them away. Eliza Middleton heard the prisoner volunteer her ser vices, and saw her, when the funeral moved away, put the hood and scarf under her shawl, and leave. Mr. HARDvacK remanded her till Friday, to sce if the muslin hood and scarf could be traced. CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.) A young woman, named Jane Kidney, was charged with stealing a number of trusses, patent surgical ban dages, and also a quantity of material used in the manu facture of such articles, the property of her former em ployer, Mr. Samuel Smith, of Holborn-bars. The prosecutor stated that he carried on business as a surgical instrument and truss maker, and was in the habit of employing a number of females, in sewing and preparing the bandages and paddings, amongst whom were the prisoner, and he had given strict orders to all those persons that they were on no account to remove any materials from the premises. On last Saturday week the prisoner left his employment, and he missed a quantity of leather, silk-lining, and bandages, as well as some steel-springs, and trusses, amongst which was a patent one of a pecu liar construction, and his suspicion having fallen upon the prisoner, he caused her lodgings to be searched, when the articles above-named were found in her bed room. The prisoner then said she had brought them home, in order that she might finish them in after hours. The prisoner, who, when called upon for her defence, repeated the statement, was committed for trial, but will be brought up again on Tuesday next. SOUTHWARK.-(THIS DAY.) John flay, a tradesman of Croydon, was charged with intruding himself into a railway carriage while intoxi• cated, and with other misconduct. John Hamilton, a policeman of the Croydon Railway Company, stated that on the preceding night the de fendant came on the platform, and it being observed that be was under the influence of drink, he was informed that he could not be permitted to enter a carriage. He however insisted, and with difficulty he was prevented, and removed outside the platform; he, however, managed to get back again, and before there was time to prevent it, he threw himself bodily into a compartment of a second-class carriage, and lay at full length along one of the seats, with his feet in a lady's lap. The passengers called out for the re moval of the drunken intruder, and a second time he was removed. Much trouble and confusion was created on the platform in the effort to save him from accident on the moving of the train. At length it was found necessary, for his own safety, to take him into custody, Defendant—l was intoxicated, and have no recollec- tion of what I did, and can only express my regret that I should have acted as represented. Mr. SECHER eulogised the conduct of the Railway Company, in not permitting persons in the condition the defendant was described to be from entering their carriages. The defendant was proved to have been guilty of great misconduct, for which he should inflict on him a penalty of 205., and in default of payment commit him for 21 days. NEWMARKET and CHESTERFORD RAILWAY COMPANY.—(THIS DAY.) An extraordinary general meeting of this company was held to-day at the London Tavern, Lord George Manners in the chair, for the purpose of obtaining the sanction of the shareholders to an agreement with the Eastern Counties Company, entered into since the last general meeting, on the 14th of August, to lease the line in perpetuity, at five per cent. interest on the Parlia mentary capital of 350,000!., with the understanding that should a dividend of more than seven per cent, be shared by the Eastern Counties shareholders, the holders in the Newmarket and Chesterford Company shall receive a return less by two per cent. than those to whom the line is to be leased. . The CIIAIR3IAN called upon the Secretary to read the report. The report comprised what has just been stated, with the addition that the Eastern Counties Company were to pay the interest of all moneys borrowed for the purposes of the Company, ttether with that over the capital of 350,000/. already subscribed, as well as an allowance for establishment and expenses. The amount of establish ment to be settled by Mr. R. Stcpenson, the engineer. The Eacern Counties are also to take the extension lines to Thetford, Bury St. Edmund's, and Ely, when any or all of them shall be obtained, the Eastern Counties to allow 4 per cent interest on the calls already . paid, Cr which are iu future to be raid. - - The CHAIRMAN said that the shareholders had heard j the terms of th e agreement f rom t h e report, an d when he entered the house this morning be fully expected that it would be carried out, but only this morning the directors had received a communication from the Eastern Counties Company, stating that it was possible the New market and Chesterford Company might have misunder stood the terms of the agreement. It should be recol lected that this agreement was fully considered and settled by the respective solicitors of the two companies. The understanding of the Newmarket and Chesterford directors was, that the basis of the dividend was the 14/. 16s, shares of the Eastern Counties Company, but they bad now been informed that the basis was 201., as that was th e va l ue o f t h e shares, with the s on these shares to the Eastern Counties York Extension shareholders. To this the directors could not assent, and he (the Chairman) therefore should say that he could not take any notice whatever of that intimation of the Eastern Counties Company, which had only been re ceived this morning; and he would, therefore, move the adoption of the report, and that it be circulated among the shareholders. J. V. SHELLEY, Esq., in seconding the adoption of this motion, said that he bad been with Mr. Hunt as a deputation to the Eastern Counties Company, and could express his firm conviction that there was no justi fication whatever for the interpretation put upon the agreement by them. In the agreement there was not a word respecting 20/. ; the terms of the agreement speci fied only the York Extension shares, and had no refer ence whatever to the whole of the consolidated stock of the company. (To prove this Mr. Shelley read a clause of the agreement containing an explanation of the terms which specify the rate of interest.) The respective soli citors of the two companies had, when these terms were agreed to, P erfectly understood each other, and had seve rally taken copies of the terms, that they might have the same apprehension of them. Mr. HUNT had been present at the previous meeting with the solicitors, and they had quite understood the terms as now interpreted by the Newmarket and Ches terford Company. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. Mr. SHELLEY then proposed a resolution to the effect that the directors be authorised to carry out the terms of the agreement. -1 " To this several Shareholders wished an amend ment to be proposed, expressing a general approval of the conduct of the directors, and leaving the matter in their hands entirely. A future bonus might hereafter be declared by the Eastern Counties Company, which would again reduce the value of the rate given by that company to the Newmarket and Chesterford shareholders. Mr. SHELLEY explained that this was guarded against and read the words by which such power was restricted. After some conversation, and an explanation of the terms of the agreement by Mr. Tyrrell, the solicitor of the company, the resolution was seconded by Mr. Griffiths, the deputy chairman. Before the resolution was put Mr. SHELLEY stated that, whether this agreement was carried out or not, no worse terms would be assented to with the Eastern Counties Company, and if any gentle man was dissatisfied with the terms, he trusted he would at once say so. Mr. HYDE was so far from being dissatisfied, that since he had been informed of this agreement he had bought one hundred shares at a premium , and also subsequently anoth er h un d re d s h ares , though at a some what better pri ce , an d t ruste d the whole would be com pleted. Nothing could hare been more admirable than the conduct of the directors. A resolution was then put by the CHAIRMAN, autho rising the directors to proceed to Parliament for the branches, which was carried unanimously. Thanks were then voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated. LONDON, SALISBURY, and YEOVIL RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) A special general meeting of the shareholders in the above undertaking was held this afternoon, at the Lon don Tavern, for the purpose of deciding what course theyfrould pursue in the present poiition of their affairs; Mr. Boyd, one of the directors, in the chair. The report, after recapitulating the original agree ment entered into between this company and the South- Western, which agreement became of no effect in conse quence of this company having failed to obtain its Bill, proceeded to state that another agreement had been come to with the South-Western Compan), by which they undertook to pay down 20s. per share on the shares issued towards the expenses incurred, and a further sum of 30s. per share in the event of the Bill being ob tained for the line from Salisbury to Yeovil; the South- W( stern Company also to pay the excess of the exp nses of the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Company, beyond the amount of deposit of 50s. per share of the extent of ss. per share on the number of shares issued ' • and in the event of thi s arrangement b e i ng carried out, the present agreement with the South- Western Company to be put an end to, and the portion of the line between Basingstoke and Salisbury to be made by the Lyndon and South-Western Company out of their own funds. An abstract of the accounts was annexed to the report, from which it appeared that the expenditure had been 82.6451. 17s. 6d., while the de posits only yielded about 78,4271. 10s. 10d. Several Shareholders expressed themselves as dis satisfied with the conduct of the South-Western Com pany, and denounced it in no measured terms. Ulti mately, however, the report was agreed to, and also a resolution authorising the directors to accept the terms of the &)tith• Western. A vote of thanks was then passed to the chairman, and the meeting brok up. TILE PIXIES OF DEVONSIIIRE.-The pixies of Devonshire are very differ( fitly described in different parts of the county. In the Not th of Devon, and on the borders of Cotnwall, there are thought to be " the an cient inhabitants,"—a dwarfish and malicious rac-, wearing dresses; of dai lc green, and living within the green circles commonly called " fairy rings." Like the rest of the "good people," they are fond of music ; and the sound of their "harp and pipe and symphony" is occasionally heard at nightfall. It is said that a man once passing one of these pixy rings, and hearing them dancing and singing within it, threw a large stone into the midst of the circle, when the music at once ceased, and a dreadful shriek arose. •It is seldom, however, that they become vi Bible. There is a celebrated pixy haunt at Costellas, in Cornwall ; where they have been sitting in a ring, the men smoking after the most approved fashion of the Dutch Burgmeester, and the women spinning, perhaps in emulation of the frugal Vrow. On the northern and western borders of Dartmoor, the Pixies have a different character. They are sometimes seen in bands, but more frequently in small numbers—as two or three together. They delight in tormenting and leading astray such persons as they find abroad after nightfall ; and the. only remedy in such a case , is to turn some part of your dress,—a spell which at once dissolves II eir " glamour." Like the fairies, they aro ci.arged with stealing, or rather changing, children in the cradle ; and with carrying off to the " joyless elfin bower" such persons as, by the commission of some great crime, have placed themselves under their influence. A woman is still living at Tot ness, who is said to have been thus changed at her birth; and on the shores of what is called " the lake," at Tamerton, are certain soft sandy places into which whoever chance to step . ..is at once carried off by the Pixies. They are said to have " houses" in the deep clefts of broken rock which form the Tors of .Dartmoor. On the southern side of Sheepstor is a singular cavern, formed by large overhanging blocks of granite, called " The Pixies' House," within which they may be heard sometimes hammering (for, like the Duergar, they are great workers in metal), and sometimes busily pounding their cider. This cave is considered " a critical place for children ;" and no one visits it without leaving a bunch of grass, or one or two pins, as a propitiatory offering to the mysterious beings who inhabit it. The Pixies de light in riding the cattle about Sheepstor at night ; and the horses and bullocks of the neighbouring farmers are constantly found, in the morning, wearied and covered with foam. They plait the manes of such horses as they ride ; and the twisted knots that are afterwards found in them are called " Pixy seats."—Athencrum. MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF A LADY AT CLIFTON..-- We regret having to announce the suicide, under me lancholy circumstances, of Miss Rebecca Jones, a maiden lady, 67 years of age, who resided in the house formerly occupied by the late Mr. Bickley, at Meridan place, Clifton.—Miss Jones had resided with Mr. Bick ley, and since his death, which, occurred on the 15th of October last, she had been in a very excited state. She would walk hurriedly from room to room, talk in coherently, and gave evidence that her mind was in an unsettled state, her prevailing idea being that she would be brought to poverty. She was last seen alive at twelve o'clock on Wednesday, when her footman ob served her in her drawing-room, and walking up and down in an agitated manner. In about half an hour afterwards he was alarmed by hearing a crash in the back area, and upon going to ascertain the cause of it, he was surprised to find two of th e l arge cop i ng stones o f the parapet lying upon the g roun d. A violent ring ing at the door - bell was heard, an d on going to answer it, he was informed that his mistress had thrown herself from the house-top into the back area of Mr. Harris's house next door. She groan e d once or tw i ce, and then expired. An inquest was held on the body the same afternoon, and a verdict of Temporary Insanity was re turned.—Bristol Mercury. IMPORTATION OF GUANO.—A vessel, just arrived in the River from Ghent (Belgium), has brought, in ad dition to 27 tons weight of oak bark, the production of Belgium, 616 bags of guano. The arrivals of this newly discovered description of manure have. we believe, hi therto been confined to the islands in the Southern and South Atlantic Ocean, and other places in those distant regions in which it abounds and has been collec t ed. from abroad FOREIGN I,C,inthEiSElTAt'hiJeTsSe.—felwlideayasrii ilaviael beenof chestnuts a very extensive character, they being very plentiful this sea son, not only hero but on the Continent. IMPORTATION or BONES.—A vessel, arrived from Algoa Biy , Cape of Good Hope, has brought, besides a general cargo, comprising every variety of the usual sup plies from the quarter under notice, the large quantity of 82,3201 b. weight of dry bones. The arrival of so large a quantity of animal bones in one vessel from the Cape is rather remarkable, for whatever purpose they are intended, and the importation is not altogether un worthy of particular notice. FIVE PERSONS DROWNED.—WATERFORD, Nov. 7. —A boat, containing six persons, the crews of the two vessels, Charlotte and Oultcn, while going down the river, yesterday, upset, and suddenly immersed the whole party; five out of the number met with a watery grave. The masters of both vessels (Duck, of the Charlotte, and Robinson, of the Oulton) were two of the unfortunate men. The incumbency of St. James's Church, Bermond sey, has been conferred on the Rev, William Novval. THE LAST DYING WORDS AND CONFESSION OF EUGENE ARAM. We (Manchester Guardian) have had a curious printed paper placed in our hands for inspection, being no other than the halfpenny sheet hawked about the streets on the execution of the notorious Eugene Aram. It is en titled, " The last dying words and confession of Eugene Aram, who was executed at Tyburn, near York, on Monday, the Gth day of August, 1759, for the murder of Daniel Clark, of Knaresborough, about the 7th February, 1744." Beneath this heading is an impression from an old and well-worn woodcut engraving, curious . as repre senting the mode of hanging at that tlmo. The gallows has only one upright in this form I, and there does not appear to be any scaffold, and the " Tyburn cart" h as a pp aren tly d one its busi ness, for a man is re p resen t e d as hanging from a rope, carried over the end of the horizontal arm of the beam, whilst "Jack Ketch" is upon the ladder placed against the upright, or " the gallows tree." Be low are seen the crowd, and mingled with than the " javelin men ," w i t h the i r halberts preventing the crox d from approaching too close. There are rude representa tious of three houses, all the windows filled with faces, as if gazing on the spectacle. Beneath this woodcut is the brief notice of the murderer's biography—" Eugene Aram, aged 43, was born at Ripon, the son of Peter Aram, who wrote the excellent poem on Studley Park." The last dying w or d s " b ear internal evidence of their being fabricated for the purpose of b• ing hawked about the streets. As this d ocument is believed to be unique, veinsert a literal copy of the speech or confession put into the mouth of the wretched man:— My Father, etho had some loose Thoughts of the Power of Al m i g h ty G od, which he continued too long, hurt my tender and young Principals in Religion ; I thank God I a m t h oroug hl y convinced of his Error, ad am in Hopes through the Mediation of my blessed Sa riour.Jesus ;Christ to be saved. I confess the Justness of my Sentence, but was not apprehensive try Accom plice would have dealt so perfidiously with me, for I can not help taking Notice to the World (as it does expect I should say something) that he was forsworn upon my Tryal, as I have solemnly declared to a reve rend Divine ; he also was more active in conveying poor Clark away, than myself, likewise in burning his Cloaths, and attempting to persuade me to murder:my poor injured Wife. I hope the Lerd will pardon me for the Wrong I have done my dear Wife, whose honest Coun sel I always disdain'd, depending on my own, as I thought, superiour Judgment, which I find, but now too late, hath brought me t o thi s unt i me l y E n d. I desire Forgiveness of all the World, particularly, my poor, dear, and injured Wife, and of all others whom I have injured in the Course of my wicked Life, begging their Prayers for my poor departing Soul, and that my Ac complices may take Warning by this my woeful End ; for tho they are clear'd by Man, they know, before God, they are as guilty as myself. Ido heartily desire they would make Restitution to all those whom we have injured, which is the last Words and sincere Wishes of the unfortunate EUGENE ARAM. 71.74 +lf 0 4„,,„ CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) THOMAS V. BLACKMAN. The arguments in this case, which came before the Court upon appeal from the decision of the Vice-Chan cellor Knight Bruce, were resumed and concluded to-day. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would give judgment to-morrow morning. BONDS V. SLYMAN. This appeal from the equity side of the Court of Exchequer, during the time of Lord Abinger, occupied the Court the remainder of the morning. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) PERRY V. MEADOWCROFT. This was a case which came before his Lordship on an exception to the Master's report. The Master had found by his report there was no male lineal descendant of a William Meadowcroft, who had been left a property by Mr. Meadowcroft, a solicitor, of Gray's-inn, who died on the 7th of July, 1821. The testator left his property under a condition that it should accumulate for twenty-one years. It was alleged that the decree was obtained by collusion and fraud, and that the excep tant was the male lineal descendant of William Meadowcroft the younger. Mr. WALPOLE, who appeared for the plaintiff, stated the case, from which it appeared that William Meadow croft the younger, in 1813, came to London, and entered the office of his uncle, the testator, as clerk. lie then took lodgings in the house of a Miss Lewis, where he became acquainted sr ith another lodger, a Airs. Gregory, the widow of a lieutenant in the navy. An attachment grew up between the parties. The uncle having expressed himself extremely op posed to his nephew forming an alliance with Mrs. Gregory, it was agreed that a marriage should take place without the knowledge of the uncle. The banns were published shortly after, hut the following mistake occurred. It appeared that the per son who usually entered the banns was absent from the office, and the woman who officiated in his absence en tered the name " Widowcroft," instead of " Meadow croft," which was one of the grounds upon which a decree had been obtained in the Consistory Court. The Learned Counsel was proceeding with his state ment when the Court rose. His Lonnsmr, however, ordered the case to be in serted on the list for to-morrow. VICE-CHANCERY. -(THIS DAY) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLO R Of ENGLAND.) THE GRAND JUNCTION CANAL COMPANY V. DIMES. The further arguments in this part-heard case occu pied the Court the whole day. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. WIGRAM.) CAMPBELL V. THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY.- JUDGMENT. His HoNoun delivered judgment in this cause to-day. He said, that with reference to some of the points at issue he would not now express an opinion. If there had been any objection against the instrument, upon the construction of which the case chiefly turned, the parties who now objected could have asserted their claim to the shares in a legal way. It did not appear at the time that there had been any protests against the in strument respecting the notes which had been treated as a perfectly valid instrument. The plaintiffs clearly con sidered the instrument not binding; but under these circumstances they sliculd have made their claims not later than the 15th of February, 1545, and not have made the delay they did. Indeed, .the arguments ad duced on behalf of the plaintiffs utterly failed here. They had no excuse whatever for that delay. With respect to the Act of Parliament it was obscure in tome points. There was or.e point at all events which was quite clear, namely, as to the object of the company in obtaining that Act. No one could for a moment suppose that in applying for wa Act of Parliament, such. as they had done, that it was not the intention of the company to be empowered to exchange the shares for the loan notes. And here be must say that he could not believe the plaintiffs in their statements with reference to these loan notes. He had no difficulty whatever in this case until he came to the resolution of the 9th of January, 1845. The Act empowered the company to dispose of these shares in any way they desired. Here the words of the resolution became difficult to be reconciled, because it appeared to refer again to the Act of Parliament. But the resolution was free foom all ambiguity to the extent that there was a perfect allow ance to convert the loan notes into shares. Nor could it be doubted for a moment that by the resoluticn there was no other than an ordinary power given to the share holders. He would therefore dismiss the bill with costs. DUNCOMBE, M.P., V. LEVY. — JUDGMENT. His Ilorroun, in delivering judgment in this cause said, This was a case in which tl - .e question at issue was —whether or not the plaintiffs were entitled to claim the execution of a trust-deed. A bill was filled for that pur pose, and Mr. Levy, one of the creditors, whose debt was satisfied had been made a party in the cause. The other creditors, whose debts had not been challenged. had been served with copies of the bill. Ile was re quested by the defendants to counsel whether or not the other creditors should have been served with subpoenas. The question depended upon the terms of the order. Those parties served with copies of the bill had a right to appear then, and have a suit prosecuted against them if they thought fit to do so. It was fur their benefit that the order should be made to apply to them. Another question raised was with respect to Mr. Levy. On that part of the case he had to observe, that it was extraordinary that - having judgments against which he might h ave p roceeded g not do so. It was shown that dir ec ti ons h a d He did not wish to decide again s t hi m, b ut the question might be taken on an issue. On the other bh tw eee o du jidugd given. question, also, he (Mr. Levy) might take the opinion of a court of law. COURT OF RE V IE W.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Sir J. K. BRUCE.) BRUMMAGE V. JONES. • The petitioner in this case was the defendant Jones, who was a bankrnpt. It appeared that the bankrupt had among other assets three shares in a legacy of 4001., and as the payment of the same was attended with some difficulty, the de fendant considered that his interest would be sacrificed were it to be disposed of at present, and therefore applied to the Court for an order to prevent such imme diate sale. His HONOUR said he attached great credit to the ob• jection here made. Here was a peculiar case. The bankrupt had one share in the reversion of a legacy, and bought two others. He then made two assignments of the same, but a severance had now taken place between the assignees, consequently the interests of the bankrupt might suffer materially. After some discussion between the Counsel, Is HONOUR order e d the matter should be referred to e Commissioner before whom the bankrupt ap peared. • QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) RYALLS V. THE QUEEN IN ERROR.-AMENDING THE FINDING OF A JURY IN CRIMINAL CASES. This was an indictment for perjury. The case was tried at York, and the plaintiff, Joseph Naylor Ryalls, was found guilty. A rule was subsequently obtained to show cause why a certiorari should not issue from this Court, calling upon the Commissioners of Oyer and Ter miner of York to send in the indictment and the record thereto, in order that the finding, which was stated to be incorrect and invalid, might be amended. The mistake consisted in the jury finding the prisoner guilty of the perjury," and the clerk of the Court endorsing the bill " guilty of the perjury and of the misdemeanour afore said." Mr. PASHLEY showed cause against the rule, and held, on the strength of numerous authorities, which he cited that the Statute of Amendments did not apply to criminal cases, and that the Court should not, therefore, accede to the application. Mr. BLISS followed, and contended that such an amendment could be made, either by this Court or the Court below, and quoted the authority of Lord Mans• field and older authorities, to show that such amend ment might be made in both civil and criminal cases. The prisoner was found guilty on all the counts, the verdict was a general one, and the Court could amend the endorsement. If the Court considered that the mat ter ought to be brought before the Court below, he trusted they would subsequently grant a certiorari to bring the amended indi c t ment and record, and grant The COURT acceded to an enl argement of the rule, in time order that the matter might be br oug h t b efore the Court for doing so. below, and before this Court e ar ly next term. The Court AMERICAN CHIVALRY. I am convinced that a lady, no matter what her age and attractions imight be, could journey through the whole extent of the union, not only without experiencing a single annoyance, but aided in every possible way with unobtrusive civility. Indeed, great numbers of Sophon isbas and Almiras do travel about, protected only by the chivalry of their countrymen and their own undoubted propriety. To them the best seats, the best of every thing, are always allotted, A friend of ;mine told me of a little affair at New York theatre, the other night, illustrative of my assertion. A stiff-necked English man had engaged a front place, and of course the best corner : when the curtain rose, he was duly seated, opera•glas in hand, to enjoy the performance. A lady and gentleman came into the bax shortly afterwards ; the cavalier in escort, seeing that the place where our friend sat was the best, called his attention, saying " The lady, Sir," and motioned that the corner should be va cated. The possessor, partly because he disliked the imperative mood, and partly because it bored him to be disturbed, i efused. Some words ensued, which attracted the attention of the sovereign people in the pit, who ma gisterially inquired what was the matter? The Ameri can came to the front of the box and said, " There is an Englishman here who will not give up his place to a lady." Immediately their majesties swarmed up by dozens over the barriers, seized the offender, very gently though, and carried him to the entrance ; be kicked, cursed, and fought all in vain ; he excited neither the pity nor the anger of his stern executioners ; they placed him carefully on his feet again at the steps, one man handing him his hat, another his opera-glass, and a third the price he had paid for his ticket of admission, then quietly shut the door upon him, and returned to their places.

BURGLARY IN A PUBLIC-UOUSE.—Yesterday morn ing a vciy daring rubbery was committed at the harp public-house, opposite the pit entrance of Drury-lane Theatre, in Little lity,sell-street. It appeared from the mrurenation received liy the I.olice, that shortly after three o'clock the titivate watchman was passing the above house, when he tried the front door, and found it unfastened. A respectably drested man was standing at the door at the time, and exclaimed, " Oh, it's all right ; it's only young Morgan, the son of the landlord, gone in." The watchman, however, suspected that something was wrong, end accordingly proceeded to the Bow-street police-station, and...informed the inspector on duty. The better immediately went to the house, and aroused the inmates, and on proceeding to the parlour, they found several port wine bottles emptied of their contents, and ascertained that a de zon pork pies had been demolished by the hungry thieves. The till had been forced open, and 255. in fourpenny pieces, and a quantity of copper money was stolen therefrom ; two boxes of cigars were also taken from the bar. The thieves effected an entrance by the parlour window, which faces King's Head-yard, at the side of the house. The house was searched by the police, but the thieves had escaped while the watchman was gone to Bow-street DEATH PROM DRUNKENNESS AND RECKLESS DRlVlNG.—Yesterday morning at an early hour, a your g man named Thomas Roberts, aged twenty-one years, in the service of Mr. Wheatley, coach proprietor at Green , wich, met his death under reckless circumstances. The deceased and several shopmatcs had been to a Supper, which had been given to celebrate some event connected with their employer, and whilst on the way home, a little elevated, two of them stopped to speak before they sepa rated. At the moment a light chitise cart containing two individuals passed by at a rapid speed towards town, and before either could reach the footpath, they were both knocked down by the cart which the driver did not stop, but continued to drive at the same rapid speed until out of sight. The man Roberts was insensible, ane was carried to the nearest surgeon's, where it was siscerJ tained that he had received a fracture of the base of the skull, a severe scalp wound, and other injuries. He was subsequently conveyed to Guy's Hospital, where he ex pired in a few hours after his admission. The other man is going on favourably. When the police were made acquainted with the circumstances a mounted messenger went in pursuit of the persons in charge of the cart, but owing to the time that had elapsed, the de linquents effected their escape. An inquest will be held on the body this evening.

RAILWAY NEGOTIATION.—The negotiation between the London and North Western Railway Company, and the Leeds and Dewsbury Company and the Huddersfield and Manchester Company, has, it appears, been resumed. It appears that an offer was made by the London and North Western to lease the other two railways, and that negotiations for that purpose were commenced.
