Office, 337, Strand. PALMER V. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAIL- WAY COMPANY. This was an action to recover damages for injuries sustained by an accident on the defendants' railway. Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. Lush were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Channell and Mr. Bovill for the defendants. It appeared that the plaintiff, a commercial traveller in the employment of Mr. Potter, a wine merchant, took his place, on the evening of the 23d of October, 1850, in a London and South-Western train, at Landport, a station in the joint occupation of the South- Western and Brighton companies. The train had pro - ceeded:a very short (4stonco when, owing to the darkness, it ran into an engine belonging to the defendants, which was either stationary or moving beyond the siding which led into the engine-shed, where it ought to have been. The consequence was a collision, from which the plaintiff did not at first experience anything more than sickness and giddiness, confining him to his home at Porchester; bat on calling in Mr. Marrett, a medical man there, thst gentleinan was of opiriOn that he had received a concussion of the britio, and recom mended him to abstain from every kind of business for six months at least. He, however, tried to follow his usual employment, and partially succeeded; but a short experience showed that his health grew worse, and the symptoms Of giddiness, numbness, and coldness of the extremities, and quickness of pulse continued. He was finally obliged to give up his employment, though his master, who spoke in high terms of him, continues his salary of 100/. a year. In 1851 the plaintiff wished to insure his life, bat Drs. Conquest and Hodgkin, who examined him, considered his health too precarious to recommend him to the office. Messrs. Coulson, Adams, and other distinguished surgeons, saw him at various times, and all testified to his suffering from concussion of the brain, and to his total inability to follow his busi ness in future. His former salary was 2501, with an allowance for travelling, amounting to about 901. a year more, and his medical expenses amounted to a consider able sum. The CHIEF JUSTICE left the case very fully and fairly to the jury; and is the course of his summing up, complimented Mr. Marrett for his non-use of profes sional jargon. The jury, after an hour's retirement, 'found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 2,0001, Solicitors for the plaintiff, Messrs. Bevan and Goodeve, 6, Old Jewry; for the company, Messrs. Sutton and Co.

Sta,—My sporting clients have no doubt been somej what astonished by the absence from the columns of The Sun for above a fortnight of the usual " Sport* Notes." Their counsel, however, has L een busy at work on—as immortal " Bee's" Mantilini would say—" om Tiddler's ground, picking up the demnition go and silver;" or, in other words, collecting the materiel for my analysis of the Chester, Newmarket,:and Northamp ton Handicaps, and Liverpool Steeplechase.. With th e last-named I now intend to begin my work in earneeies, The Liverpool Grand National, the most successful of all steeplechases, ha: been established a good many ye ars; but tor some time it was a race in which the candidates carried 123 t each. However, in 1843, it was thought advisable by the ruling powers at Liver pool to make it a handicap. The entries for the first time numbering forty-three, and no leas than sixteen going to the post; Vanguard,. with list 10Ib 001aD up, was the winner ; Niiiirod, list , second; and DrEA t 1114 31b, third. In the following year the favourite (Dis count, carrying lOst 121 b), for the first and only time, coming off winner. Every other time, up to last year, the favourite has always been beaten; the winner on each occasion being an outsider at odds varying from eleven, the pr:ce in Matthew's year, 1847, to indefinite odds in Caandler's year, 1818. In five instances out of the nine the winning weight has been of the heavy character, viz., ranging from 1 Ist .51b to 1 Ist 121 b; the former carried by Curcall, in 1845, and the latter by Pioneer, in 1846, and Chandler in 1848. The instances where the winner was weighted low in this scale was with Matthew, lOst 61b, in 1847; Abd-el-Kader, at 9at 121 n, in 1850, and at lOst 41b in 1851; so, if we are to take past experience as a guide, the result of the forthcoming steeplechase would seem more likely to fall to the lot of a high-weighted tried horse than to any moderate specimen of the steeple chaser with a feather on his back. The entries from 1843 up to the present time, with the exception of the last and present years. have been gradually on the in crease; they numbered forty-three in 1843, and seventy in 1850; this year they are fifty-nine, with an accept ance of about two-thirds, which may be set down as tolerably good. It must be borne in mind that the Liverpool Steeplechase Course is above three furlongs over the four miles in length, and consequently, in extent as well as nature, the stiffest course of the kind in the kingdom, requiring an animal game to the backbone, and with plenty of steam in him, too, to come off the victor. It is perfectly ridiculous at the present time, although within two or three weeks of the race, to attempt giving anything like a list of the starters on the day, but I have some tolerably good reasons for believing that the following will be missing from the fray, namely :—Warner, Melford, Simple Harry, M a ri a Monk, Janus, Venture, Muley, Everton, and Perjury. Of the remaining twenty-nine, within five or six, I pre sume the whole lot will run; though, as I before re marked, it will be perfectly impossible to give a correct list of the runners this week. Lord Waterford, by scratching Lord George, left the sporting world to infer that his Sir John, at list 101 b, would be his nag on the day ; and I entertain not the smallest doubt, as the horse is in good fettle, that he will, as usual, get a place. if not the absolute winner. Osborne's elbd-el-Kader, list 41b, will have to give way to the two Peters, who are both weighted at 1 let 21b; it is said that mischief is intended with Sir Peter Laurie, which he will have to struggle hard to effct, as the severity of the course is much against him. Peter Simple I prefer to Lucy Neale at the same weight, the horse having at different times given signs of being able to get a distance and live a 1 stiffish pace: I hold his chance to be a very respectable outside one. Mr. Hutton's grey mare Lucy Neale, \ although boxed up for this venture, will have nothing to do in the finishing struggle; I consider her qualities much overrated.

The privations thus arising to the inhabitants of Madrid are most severe, and in the competition for water from the fountains, con flicts, often ending in loss of life, are not unfrequent. It has long been an anxious aim of the authorities to remedy this great and growing mischief; and at length, after elaborate inquiries, aided by the most eminent engineers, a scheme has been mAtured for bringing a supply of water to Madrid proportionate to the wants of the people, by a conduit from the river Lozoy a, about 52 miles distant, the waters of which are found to be at once pure, healthful, and abundant, whilst the nature of the elevations, and other loCal considerations, al e suitable fur its conveyance. • To this end, the requisite plans, estimates, and detailed reports have been prepared by the Government and Municipality of Madrid, and it is found that ihe works necess ,ry to supply this great social want by conveying the water to the gates, and distr bating it within the city, may bh s..bstantially executed by an expenditure which, including all incidental charges and expenses of the undertaing, will not exceed 1,100,060/.

The ships in ordinary in the Thames and Medway are to be so placed that communication by signal may be by them conveyed to this port from the vario4 places along the coast. Mr. Parminter, for a very considerable period chief clerk in the office of the Captain-Superintendent, per forming also the duties of secretary, has been superan nuated on a salary of 4001. per annum, after a service of more than 40 years. A gale of wind from west-north-west set in this morn ing, and continues to such an extent as to render com munication with the ships in port a matter of great diffi culty. Of the required outlay for the conduit, the authorities at Madrid are prepared to proVide 450,0001. The desirableness of the undertaking will be sufficiently manifest, indeed, from the fact that several thousand persons are now em ployed in the iahre labour of carrying water to, and distributing it over, the houses, at an ascertained expense for carriage alone of 6s. 3u. per Real Fontanero (6s. Bcl. per 1,000 gallons), or in the ag gregate 120,000/. to 150,0001. per annum. The English promoters having first submitted to Mr. Simpson, the eminent Engineer (who has been professionally engaged about the Chelsea, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Liverpool, Bristol, Manchester, Carlisle, York, Newcastle, and various other English Waterworks), the plans and reports of the Spanish officials a , ,d the proposals thereoli, and that gentleman having advised on the m in features of the undertaking, the promoters subsequently dispatched to Madrid Mr. A. M. Ross, the well-known engineer, with experienced assis tants, carefully to inspect the country to be traversed, and to inves tigate the local peculiarities of Madrid, the Goverinnent reports, plans, and estimates. To this gentleman the authorised official documents have been submitted ; he has niieutely inspected the country, the works so tar as execuf d, and the subsidiary Ivories and preparations fur the residue ; and his reports confirm the views of Government as to the excellence and sufficiency of the proposed supply, the soundness And scientific fitness of the works so far as executed, toe perfect feasi bility of the whole, and their cost. new plan and section have been carefully prepared by this gealeman, and if any amendment in the detail of the Government scheme suggest itselt, it will tie adopted and embodied in the arrangements with the Spanish authorities. The terms on which it is proposed to carry out the tin ertaking are, that the entire estimated cost of the work, with jut and within the City, and all incidental charges, being probably 1,100, 04., there shall be contributed by the Authorities 450,0001.; and that, in return for such contribution, the Company shell supply a given quantity of water irons the Lozoya, for use in the Palace and for unicipal purposes ; that the English Company shall be secured the privilege of supplying Madrid with water, at rates equal to the present cost, with all powers for this purpose necessary or usually granted to English companies ; that the under Liking shall be deelaied "et public utility," and enjoy all the valuable rights, privileges, and immunities thence arising, bieludine the right to import, nee of charge, all art.cles and materials needed fur the works; with ihe use also in the works of convict labour, if desired. And 'atelier, he English Company claim the right, within a li mited time, to commute the .epanbli subscription for an annual pay ment equal to 12e, per emit. upon the amount. Thus, for a total outlay by the Eliglish Proprietors, which the Promoters are well advised will not exceed 650,00. 1., an annual re venue of at least 120,0001. may be forthwith realis, d. Tills estimate however dues not include various sources of consumption now exist ing, which, as will be seen nom the Engineering Reports, must swell the Company's revenue, neither do tile ca culations einurace the greatly increased demaud consequent on a more abundant supply. The propose.] source of supply to the entire City is so elevated as to save the costly process of forcing the sva er by machinery ; and Mr. Ross therefore estimates that the annual expenses of the Com- Oany, in distributing the water and upholding the Works wtil not exceed 5,0001. English Contractors of wealth and experience, to whom or under whose direction the concession is made, are prepared to enter Into engagements with the English Company to deliver over tee neces sary works, inceiding all exp. nses of engineering and surveying, and tee upholding of the vthole for a year, laying the pipes and executing all other necessary works, to be specified, within the City, from time to time as they shall be required, non certain tisc.-d terms, which will obviate all doubt that the enterprise may be substantially fulfilled for the capital, and that an ample margin remains. It is intended to raise a Capital for distribution in England of 800,000/. by 80,000 shares of lel. each, of which a number not ex ceeding 1,300 are, pursuant to the terms with concessionaires, to be at their disposal (tor the promoacin of the undertaking) as paid-up Shares. Powers will be taken authorising the Shpreholders, when 5/. is paid, to exchange their Certificates for Scrip, transferable by delivery merely, the conditions of which will be forfeiture of suds Scrip on default in payment for sixty days by the holder of any further Call, and in that event the Share will revert to the party hi whose name it is registered. Of the entire number of Shares, 21,300 have been already appropriated, leaving for allotment 58,000. It may, however, be found necessary to reserve a portion of these for allotment in Madrid. All the important details of the arrangement have already been adjusted with the Span;sh authorities ; but inasmuch as, tor the interest of the Sharehol,Mr3, (list:l - Won must be re served to those with whore the arrangements have rested, the Promoters reserve the right of dissolving the Company, and paying back the deposits (seas two shillings per Share), if, from eny unioreseen ciremnstance, they deem it to the general interest so to do. They also reserve the light to admit any inudifi !aliens of such arrangements which may appear to them consistent with the main tit jeet of the undertaking; to commence the undertaking when such i.ortion of the Capital his been subscribed as they may deem requisite.

Commander Lavie, of the Alecto, 6, steam sloop, had been invalided, and took passage in the Sampson to England. The first lieutenant, Wood, is in command of the Alecto until Commander Crofton's ar rival. It appears that in consequence of some charges preferred against Commander Lavie by a master's-as sistant, a Court of Inquiry was held, which terminated in a reprimand to the commander, and four of the officers in the midshipman's mess were dismissed the ship. Mr. Heysham, midshipman, was sent to the Wolverine; Sanctuary to the Prometheus. Palmer and another had been sent in the Atholl to Ascension, to be sent to Eng land for the disposal of the Admiralty. Mr. Lock, mid shipman of the same ship, was also to be sent to England on charges of insubordination, and would probably come home in the Sampson. Mr. Findlay, surgeon, also of the Alecto, has invalided, and b een su c ceeded by Assistant- Surgeon G. J. Willes, of the Dolphin, as we have already stated. The Alecto was to return to the Bights of Benin, to meet the Commander-in-Cnief, after the arrival of the mails from England on the let of February, when she would take the dispatches on to the Commodore. A dock has been ordered to be prepared far the re ception of the Sampson steamship, on her arrival at Devonport. MESSRS.

CROWN COUB,T.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) James Masker, aged 28, and John Hartland, aged 29, were indicted for night poaching at Raiford, on the es tate of Sir Thomas ilesketh, on the 13t of January last. There was a further indictment, charging them with shooting at John Caunce, the gamekeeper, with intent to murder him. Mr. Pollock prosecuted, and Mr. Overend defended the prisoners. The prisoners wished to withdraw their plea of " Not guilty" of the night poaching, and to plead " Guilty." klis LORDSHIP wished them perfectly to understand that he should inquire whether in the course of this poaching to which they wished to plead guilty they had tired their guns at the watchers; poaching and attempting to kill game was one thing, tiring at and attempting to kill men, whilst so engaged, was another.

The two prisoners ran across a turnip-field, and Bridge up the lane. The keepers followed the two prisoners. One of the keepers, named Helsel', rushed at and seized the prisoner, Masker; as he seized him his gun went off over Halsall's shoulder. Another gun was fired, it was believed by Martland, which hit Caunce on the left side of his chest and face, and wounded him very severely with shot. He fell in consequence, and was ill for a month afterwards under the doctor's care. Before the shots were fired one of the men cried out, " Stand back, or we will shoot you." Martland was afterwards taken into custody, he having secreted himself for some time. It was suggested by he r , re vVEREND that it was the approver Bridge who fired the shot at Caunce; but the witnesses concurred in saying that he must have been above 200 yards off when the sh o t was f i re d . His LORDSHIP said he was s orry to be oblige d to p as s a heavy sentence upon the prisoners. This was one of the instances in which people who went out with the in tention of killing game ended with attempting to kill men. The shot fired had all but killed the unfortunate game keeper; the rash act had not been fatal to him, thank God for that, or the prisoners would have had to expiate that offence with their lives. There was a great distinc tion between poaching and finch a rash act as this. The reason why the Legislature had made it a heavier offence for three or more to go out at night armed with guns to poach was because it .exposed humen life to danger, for men so circumstanced would not be taken. s away is they could even o t u o d l d e run no He longer,badgreat pity and then they hey e for poor men who, under the idea of seeking sport, Tran made r in fringed the law and became poachers; but there was a plain distinction between poaching and risking the lives of her Majesty's subjects by shooting at them. It was, therefore, with great reluctance and sorrow that he passed on the prisoners the sentence that they each be transported for fourteen years. The other charge against the prisoners was not pro ceeded with. _ _ 'On S FRAGMENTS FROM THE MOUNTAINS. Two Vols. Vol. I. VISIT TO THE LAKES ; SKETCH O.?

Mr. Atkinson's Chieftain, lOst 121 b, has come in for a considerable share of the public favour within the last week or so, but taking his previous performances as my guide, notwithstanding the money that is " on" him, and being in the best condition his admirers could wish, in defiance of all this, I nand distinctly state that, to my mind, he possesses no chance whatever of carrying off the Grand National of 1852. He may run well, but the last half mile will beat him. Bourton, lOst ]Olb, is fancied by some; he will be a bit of a favourite in all probability, but no winner. Mr. P. Barling's Bedford, lOst 101 b, has been backed for a tremendous amount of money by the public, and, to some extent, by the stable likewise; his chance I am inclined to look favourably upon, and will back him to beat any of his near neighbours in the weights. Captain Little's Agis, lOst lolb, tooled by . the owner, may run tolerably forward, but in my opinion stands but little chance of turning up the trump card. Postilion at last 81b, like many of the horses in the race, has a select circle of admirers ; in clude Inc not among them, if you please. Mr. Higgins's bay mare Maria Iroy, lOst 61b, with only Ilb more that unfortunate carried last year at Liverpool, when, but for that unfortunate slip at the last hurdle, she would never have been overtaken, and consequently have been the winner,—l fancy her chance to be as good as any, but not knowing whether her condition is as brilliant now as it was this time last year, I feel inclined to defer placing unlimited confidence in her until I have ascertained the " exact state of Denmark." I can say this much, how ever, that she can give Maria Monk, Forest Lad, and Loddington, h er stable companions, lumps:of weight and a sound beating. I believe Frisby will have the mount, though I am not certain on this point. (To be continued.) I a m, Sir, yours, &c.

SINGULAR DEATH FROM LOCIL-JAW. 0 Tuesday an inquest was h e ld a t Liverpool on t he bod y of James Bradley, a co tt on p orter , twenty years of age, whose death had been ca us ed in the followi n g sin gular manner :—About a wee k p re viously he wa s em ployed in converting the blade of a razor into a knife by fixing it to a wooden handle, and used the sharp end of a file, heated, to bore holes in the wood. While so engaged the filo -lipped, miking a deep burnt incision in the palm of his hand, near the thumb. A cara an put something into the wound, which he said was used for horses; and the deceased continued at his work as usual, until two days be fore his death, when he complained that his jaws were quite tight, and that he c iuld hardly open his mouth. The hand, which had been much swollen all the week, was now of the natural size; and the evening before his death, on leaving work, his neck was quite stiff, and his head all oa one side. Then, for the first time, medical advice was called in, but too late; tetanus had set in, and in a few hours after wards he died. The jury returned a verdict of "Accidental death." .417,IGRATIONT TO ALL PARTS OF T ., HE WORLD. , ,vIcE TO EMIG-RANTS.
