~, Cbjrb Wbitton SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. -.! , ERIOUS ACCIDENT on the GREAT NORTH OF ENGLAND LINE. (FROM ♦ CORRESPONDENT.) DURHAM, THURSDAY, JAN. 1, 1846.—This morning e very serious accident occurred upon the above lime, find as momentous consequences to the public may arise from a correct information of the cause of the accident, I will give you a few particulars below. I left York this morning at a little before ten o'clock, a.m., and on arriving at the Thirsk station the train was de tained some minutes, in consequence of the overturning of an experimental train which had preceded the one in which I was a passenger. For some days engineers have been working experimental lines on the Great North of England line, and on that portion between Thirsk and Northallerton more particularly, to test the actin amount of speed that could be attained. This morning a new engine was brought out, drawing car ri..es weighted, I understand, to seventy tons, and at half p4A nine o'clock, away went the train like an arrow, reached Thirsk station in safety, when the speed was increased to the greatest momentum, and when about 400 yards beyond the station, a gentleman who was standing on the bridge observed a violent oscillating motion, which increased every yard, until the engine was fairly rocked over, thrown upon her broad side against a slight cutting, upon which some of the carriages were thrown, and all more or less damaged. I observed one of the solid beams one, which had seemingly been shivered with as much ease as one might break a reed ; the front wheels of another had been carried away, and her buffers tilted up and driven through the side of another. The shock had been fearful, and yet the engineers, most pro videntially, escaped injury ; one man only, the poor fireman, was thrown on his head upon the opposite rails, and so seriously injured that, when I left the sta tion, he was not expected to survive very long.

COFFEE. —A fair business has been transacted privately in all descriptions of West India, and the rates paid have been rather above those previously quoted; holders mani fest firmness, and supply the market sparingly with all descriptions. Ceylon has met with increased atten tion, and of Native large parcels have been dis posed of by private treaty at improved rates. In Plantation a fait amount of business has been transacted privately at rather higher rates. The inferior kinds of Moeha are little wanted but cannot be had upon lower terms. Java is held with firmness, and there has been rather more desire mani fested to do business. The low rates that for all other East India descriptions cause merchants to be less inclined to re alise, and the quantity offering for sale is much less than it was. TEA.—The market has an improving appearance, mer chants show firmness, and still refrain from offering any at public sale. In Congou a good business has been transacted, especially in the lower descriptions, and the rates paid have been rather above tnose previously quoted. Of Po uclion g seve ral parcels have been disposed of at 5d to 10d. In Twankay a fair business has been transacted at superior rates. Faurr.—The purchases made in Raisins have been ex tremely limited, and holders experience difficulty in getting former rates. Currants are dull of sale, and at auction this afternoon the parcels offered were nearly all taken in. Corrow.—Holders of East India have manifested firmness this week, and refused to sell but at fully former rates ; a fair business has been transacted, and the private sales amount to 1,000 Wee of Surat at 24d to 3id per lb. There has been a much better demand for Cotton at Liverpool this week. SPIRITS.—The business transacted in Jamaica Rum has been extremely limited this week, but holders remain firm, and insist upon former rates for all descriptions.

THE NEW PLANET Since the:discovery of theexultra-zodiacal planet Ceres, on the Ist of January, 1801 (soon after followed by the discovery of Juno, Pallas, and Vesta), no occurrence has, perhaps, excited so much interest in the scientific world, as the newly-discovered member of our planetary family, Astrea. The observations of one of the greatest living authorities on the law of Bode, of whose sagacious and far-sighted conjecture the recent discovery would seem to afford an additional confirmation, will doubtless be peculiarly acceptable to those who have not Sir John Herschel's work immediately at hand. The concluding sentence is, however, remarkably curious, and shows that even the highest authorities may at times, from extreme caution, prove at fault:— _ _ " The planets Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn, have been known from the earliest ages in which astronomy has been cultivated. Uranus was dis covered by Sir W. Herschel in 1781, March 13, in the course of a review of the heavens, in which every star visible in a telescope of a certain power was brought under close examination, when the new planet was im mediately detected by its disc under a high magnifying power. It has since been ascertained to have been ob served on many previous occasions with telescopes of insufficient power to show its disc, and even entered as a star, and some of the observations which have been so recorded have been used to improve and extend our knowledge of its orbit. The dts• covery of the ultra-zodiacal planets dates from the Ist day of 1801, when Ceres was discovered by Piazzi at Palermo ; a discovery speedily followed by those of Juno by Professor Harding, of Gottingen ; and of Pallas and Vesta by Dr. Olbers, of Bremen. It is extremely remarkable that this important ad dition to our system had been in some sort surmised AS a thing not unlikely, on the ground that the intervals between the planetary orbits go on doubling as we recede from the sun, or nearly so. Thus the interval between the orbits of the earth and Venus is nearly twice that between those of Venus and Mercury ; that between the orbits of Mars and the earth nearly twice that between the earth and Venus ; and so on. The interval between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars, however, is too great, and would form an exception to this law, which is, however, again resumed in the case of the three remoter planets. It was, therefore, thrown out by the late Professor Bode, of Berlin, as a possible surmise, that a planetmight exist between Mars and Jupiter, and it may easily then be imagined what was the astonish ment of astronomers to find four revolving in orbits tolerably well corresponding with the law in' question. No account a priori, or from theory, can be given of this singular progression, which is not, like Rephi's laws, strictly exact in its numerical verification ; but the cir cumstances we have just mentioned lead to a strong be lief that it is something beyond a mere accidental co incidence, and belongs to the essential structure of the system. It has been conjectured that the ultra. zodiacal planets are fragments of some greater planet which formerly circulated in that interval, but has been blown to atoms by an explosion, and that more such fragments exist, and may be hereafter discovered. This may serve as a specime❑ of the dreams in which astronomers, like other speculators, occasionally and harmlessly indulge." NEGLECT OF MAGISTRATES.—CompIaints from the country keep coming in upon us relative to the vast incon• venience to which the public are put, for want of proper attention of the magistracy to their duties. This is an un pardonable inconvenience to the public, and it must find correction from the proper quarter. If gentlemen who are in the commission of the peace feel it enough to have the honour of being so, the sooner that notion is changed the better both for themselves and the community at large. The honour and credit (if it is to be looked upon as such) of being a magistrate is in the due attention to public duty. Neglect is derogatory to a magistrate, and prejudicial to society. Let us hope that the new year, upon which we have just entered, will produce better things, and before it terminates many needed, useful, and beneficial changes will have been brought about and accomplished. —From a Correspondent. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. The Lord Mayor received the following letter, to which his attention was particularly claimed, from the Water man and Lighterman's Company:— " Waterman's Hall, Dec. 31, 1845. "My Lord Mayor, We are directed by the Court of the Master-wardens and Assistants of the Company of Watermen and Lightermen ai the river Thames, to draw your Lordship's attention to the late proceedings at Blackfriars-pier of the Steam-boat Company called "The Waterman's Steam-boat Company," and as from the similarity of name your Lordship and the public may suppose that the Waterman and Lighterman's Company are parties to these proceedings, we take this oppor tunity of informing your Lordship (and perhaps your Lordship will have the kindness to make it known in other quarters) that the Waterman and Lighterman's Company are not parties to, or in any manner connected with, such proceedings, nor are they interested in thr• affairs of the Waterman's Steam-boat Company.—We hare the honour to be, my Lord Mayor, your Lordship's very humble servants, " CLARKE and COOPER, Solicitors to the Waterman and Lighterinan's Company. " To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor." The LORD MAYOR said it was very probable that the confusion apprehended to a certain extent existed, from the cause assigned by the gentlemen who had written to him, and he considered it extremely proper that there should be a disclaimer as public as possible upon the part of the Waterman and Lighterman's Company of any connexion between that and the Waterman's Steam packet Company. He thought it right, too, to let the public know that the poor watermen, in whose behalf public appeals had been made to their sympathies, as being connected with, and deriving profit from, the Waterman's Steam-packet Company, had nothing to do with that Company, and derived no advantage .whatever from it. No ; nobody had any benefit from it, with the exception of the individuals who had been able to pur chase shares in the speculation. The LORD MAYOR stated that he had recived 1/. 10s. from A. B. C., for the poor-box. The three children who had been brought before his Lordship on Wednesday, at the instance of a gentleman (who had seen one of them pilfer), and whose destitute condition his Lordship so much deplored, were agai❑ placed at the bar. The policeman appointed to make inquiry about the parents of the boys, stated that he could learn nothing whatever about them, as the children were entirely un known in the places were they said they resided. The LORD MAYOR said the contusion evidently be came worse confounded, and that the necessity for the interference of the Legislature was every day more and more apparent in regard to the protection of poor children. He wished one of the acting Commissioners of Somerset House would take the trouble of visiting the justice-room, to witness a few of the scenes which daily occurred, exhibiting the totally destitute condition of so many boys and girls, and endeavour to strike out some plan for the consideration of the Legislature. It was impossible that he could send the children before him to prison, or into the streets. The officer of the City of London Union must take them to the house of reception at Peckham._ Mr. Thwaites, one of the officers of the City of ry,ndon Union, having, at his Lordship's desire, attended upon the occa,don, said, in answer to some question, that under peculiar circumstances the officers of the union accompanied the applicants for refuge to the house at Pe9kham, but they had not the power of compelling any pi rsons to remain in it, for it was one of the regu lations that any inmate might discharge himself. The LORD MAYOR said he could not see how such a regulation could, with any degree of propriety, extend to children, and he was determined that these before him should be provided for by the union until their parents should be found. He was of opinion that the officers of the union ought to make out a list of cases similar to that which at that moment presented itself, and hand it to the Commissioners of the Poor-law, that they might, upon such unquestionable grounds, apply to the Legislature. Mr. Thwaites submitted to his Lordship that as asylums were in a state of preparation for the houseless, the evil adverted to would, in a great measure, be remedied. The LORD MAYOR—But until the time arrives when such asylums shall be ready for the reception of the poor, the union must take care of those who appear within its limits. I must say that a vast deal of distress and misery havo arisen from the fact that the City of London Union have no premises in the City is which they could protect the poor, and it mould appear as if the authorities kept their workhouse at Peckham in order that objects should have more than ordinary difficulties to encounter when seeking assistance. In such an ar rangement there certainly is no humanity. Mr. Thwaites assured - the Lord Mayor that he and his brother officers left au effort untried to carry out his Worship's views, and that they were subjected, in the performance of their duty, to great annoyances from the violence and depravity of many of the parties who were constant customers to the union. The LORD MAYOR—I admit that you do your duty, but the board do not perform theirs. A board ought to be immediately called to take the matter to which I have called the peculiar attention of the powerful press of the country. I am resolved not to let the matter drop, for it is ultimately connected with the happiness of the porum unity. The children were then conveyed to the union at James, for untawfu t l o l l' A e l c ci lih r a: zn b c y h t a h l e lis o , ffiner. GUILDHALL. One of the partners of the firm of Crowley and Co., carriers, King-street, Smithfield, appeared before Mr. detaining a carpet bag and its contents, booked at their office, to be sent to Onester. y answer the complaint of Charles clothes 'lbe ' and complainantnther things,said the intended bag for n t a tt i coned boy, a a n s d ui tof was as 2 ta d ke o n f to n M ec o e s m sr ber. s.erowleVe, as genera l earriers, on the A receipt was taken, and three weeks elapsed bef,re he heard that it had not reached szi}rpcl it had no t arrived. He now Us firstination. The party at Chester made complaint there, and was a the bag, but deta'ned it complained, therefore, that Mes srs - , lin ) ,,v p i l ar t l st Is comingad the nut t .L o: for wardedne Candamt's negligence had obliged th e London. . The coun try-- to buy new plothes, as the boy was Lon don next week. Tho innkeeper said he was not at all to blame, and he did not detain the parcel. The Alderman was probably aware that the Grand Junction Railway Company was a monopoly, and would not allow the carriers to have /Pparate trucks, and take care of their own goods. They were obiige4 to 4eiiireF them to the Company. He could prove the delivery of thif carpetbag to tl f e Company, and he had written for an explanation, but there had not been stifficient time to allow of investigation. The comp)ainant made his first 4pplication on Christmas day, and a letter was aclaresied to the Company next day, to which no answer had yet been given, owing to increase of business incident to the season, lie should have an answer in two or three days. These great c0rn ,y(?!..141 not move in business at the steam-engine pue . , _ _ The complainant asked if he was to be the sufferer because other people were dilatory ? Was not thirty days a monstrous time for a railway to do anything ? Mr. Alderman CfrALLis had no doubt the non-delivery of the parcel had occasioned very great inconvenience, which Messrs. Crowley regretted fully as much as he did; but the complainant could very easily understand that carriers of all descriptions were overburdened with busi ness just now. If the application had been made three weeks ago, there would have been time to look over the books and make inquiries immediately, but how they were so constantly engaged with the current business they had not time to refer to the past. The application for a little delay was, he thought, perfectly reasonable. The complainant said he should object to any delay. Next week he must buy the boy another suit of clothes. Mr. Alderman CHALLIS said the innkeeper ought not to be called upon to do more than he could do. lle coull not make slow bodies move quick. The complainant had better wait a few days longer. _ _ The complainant said he bad waited too long already. He would instantly commence an action. Mr. Alderman CHALLIS said, if the complainant would not be assisted by an adjournment he must dis miss the complaint. The complainant retired, vowing he would bring an action. BOIV-STREET. An errand boy, named Robert Mitchell, in the service of Mr. Cox, of 29, Southampton-street, Covent-garden, was charged with stealing 171, the produce of a cheque entrusted to him by his master. Mr. Cox merely stated that the boy, on being sent to his banker's with a cheque for the above amount, ob tained the money, appropriated it to his own purposes, and then absconded.—He was remanded for a week. MAI?LBOROUGH-STREET. _ . George Heald, a lad in the service of Mr. Duddy, butcher, Drummond-street, was summcned by the So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, for having wantonly and cruelly ill-treated and beaten an ox. John Ditton, constable, in the service of the Society, said he saw the defendant, on Monday last, beating an ox over the head with a bludgeon about as thick as his wrist, and with a spike at each end. The defendant struck the animal with his full force over the nose, caus ing the blood to flow freely. Next he struck a blow over the ey e, which caused a swelling as big as a fist ; and, lastly, he struck the animal on the hock, and brought it instantly to the ground. Witness had never seen an animal beaten with greater cruelty. The defendant denied the charge. The ox and a companion had been driven from the country to be slaughtered, but when near the slaughter-house, being very wild, they ran off different ways. Defendant fol lowed one of the animals through a great number of streets, and was obliged to hit it occasionally to prevent it doing mischief. The animal ran into a baker's shop, and was with difficulty got out. In fact, it was so wild that it was found necessary to have it slauhtered as soon as possible. The brother of the defendant said defendant was a very hvaane character, and could get a character from different master butchers with whom he had lived, to that effect. Mr. HARDWICK said, there ought to be some other means adopted to get beasts into the slaughter-house than the ordinary practice of driving them through the streets to the manifest peril of the passengers. It was intolerable that drovers should be allowed to beat and half kill animals on the public streets to get them to en ter the slaughter-houses. It was evident that according to the present system it was necessary to use some de• gree of violence with the animals intended for slaughter, but then the public must not be disgusted by those scences of cruelty which too frequently took place. Mr. Thomas, the secretary, said the behaviour of the drovers was often the occasion of maddening the wretched animals under their charge. In fact, they appeared in many instances to consider it quite a pleasure to irritate and beat an animal of more than ordinary wildness. The defendant's brother said, even if the beating about the head had take❑ place as described by the constable, sill the only being aggrieved would be the defendant's master, as the bruises would deteriorate the value of the meat. Mr. lIAnDwIcK thought that the sufferings of the poor animal ought not entirely to be left out of con sideration. The defendant's master said he killed the ox, and he was certain there were no bruises on it. Mr. HARDWICK. said he could not disregard the posi tive testimony of the constuble, who had been an eye witness of what had occurred. It was time something was done to alter the system of driving cattle through the streets when in an excited state. The defendant was fined 20s. and costs, MARY LEBONE. _ Mary Ann Judd, a young woman, living in Stephen street, Lisson-grove. was charged with having stolen a bundle containing a quantity of linen, &c., from a little boy, named Henry Woodman, only nine years of age. The child deposed that on Monday last, as he was going home with a bundle of things which he had brought from Charlotte -street, Fitzroy-square, for his mo:her to wash, he was accosted in the New-road by the prisoner. who asked him if his name was Wood • man ; he told her it was, and after she had put a few other questions to him respecting his mother, she sud denly snatched the bundle from him and ran off with it ; the robbery took place at the corner of Quebec•street. It further appeared that the prisoner was well known to the police, and that Grimwood, who had been constantly upon the look out for her during the last few days, suc ceeded in securing her yesterday morning, in Stingo-lane. None of the stolen property had yet been found. The prisoner, who denied all knowledge of the rub bery, was remanded till Thursday next. Margartt Guiding, a woman between 40 and 50 years of age. was placed a - the bar before Mr. Long, charged with having stolen several articles of plate. th property 3f Mrs. Sarah Warne, living at the Retreat, Grove street, Camden-town. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had frequently been employed at the house as needle-woman, and that upon many occasions silver spoons had been missed ; the accused, who was suspected, was at length given into the custody of a con stable, who upon makin‘sisquiries at pawnbrokers' shops found out that some of the spoons alluded to had been pledged in the name of Anne Wood ; they were pro duced and identified by Mrs. Warne, and the prisoner was distinctly sworn to as the perscn to whom money was lent upon one of them.—She was committed for trial. Wm. Phillips, described as a watch-maker, residing in Wilsted-street, Somers-town, was finally examined on the charge of having stolen a quantity of bread, jam, pastry, wine, and other property, from the house of a gentleman named Thomas, a merchant, residing at No. 30, Porchester-terrace, Bayswater. The prisoner was stopped on Christmas-eve by Sedg wick, 210 D, with the articles in question in his posses sion, and as it was imagined that he came by them dishonestly, he was conveyed to the station-house; at his lodings other things belonging to prosecutor were found in a large trunk: The prisoner was committed. LAMBETH. Benjamin Brown, the railway projector, was brought before Mr. Henry for final examination. Mr. George Taylor, the assistant registrar of Joint- Stock Companies, at the office, Sergeant's Inn, Fleet street, produced two volumes of the register of returns of the Joint-Stock Companies, registered under the Joint-Stock Companies' Act, the 7th i;nd Bth Victoria. cap. 110, which c intain all the returns relating to the London and Windsor Railway Company. There is no other railwaycornpany registered bearing the same name, nor was there any railway company registered called the Prince of Wales' Oxford and London. He, witness, had carefully looked and found that there was no such com pany as that mentioned registered, nor did the name of Benjamin Brown appear in any of the papers relating to the London and Windsor Railway, either as promoter or provisional committeeman. Police-constable Edward Dixon ' 85 L, deposed that after taking the prisoner into custody and while on their -way to the station-house, the prisoner, said " I can't think how Mr. Jacobs could be so cruel, when I have been so kind to him ; but never mind, let him do his best, he can only make a debt of it." The prisoner, by the advice given to him on the day before by his attorney, declined saying anything, and was fully committed to take his trial at the ensuing session at the Central Criminal Court. During the progress of the examination Mr. Henry received a letter from a person in Woolwich, who stated that a correspondence had taken place between him and the prisoner on the subject of a situation of 3001. per annum, which Brown had offered to procure him on cer tain terms. Mr. Games, the solicitor for the prosecu tien, has also received a note from a person in Tooley street to a similar effect, and the writers of both offer to come forward, if required, to give their evidence as to the transactions. Whit! and Whiteside, who have been in custody for some days on a charge of selling packages of saw-dust. to small tradesmen for tea and tobacco, were finally exa mined, and fully committed for trill. Mr. Wontner, who attended on behalf of the prisoners, cross-examined the witnesses at some length, and made a very ingenious defence ; but Mr. henry thought the cases should go before a jury, and accordingly sent White upon two charges, and Whiteside upon one. SOUTHWARK. Win. Gibbs was charged with being concerned with two other men in robbing Daniel Haines, belonging to the Great Western Railway, of a watch, under the fol lowing circumstances. From the complainant's statement, it appeared that on the night of the 13th of July last he alighted from the Brighton train at the London -bridge terminus, and on passing along the Borough, ne ar St. George's Church, he was accosted by t wo wome n. He accompanied them to a wine-vaults in the neighbourhood, and while he was in the act of paying for the refreshment with which he treated them, one o f th em manag ed to slip out of the house with his great coat, which he had previously placed on a bench whilst taking out his purse. When he missed the woman and the garment he immediately went out into the street, and as he was standing underneath the gas-lamp three men rus h e d upon him, one of whom snat,::bed a valuable wa t c h ou t of his waistcoat poeket, the force with whieh it was pulled breaking the chain, a portion of which was left hanging round his neck. The three men having accomplished the robbery ran away ? pursued b y a po li cema n named Pelaney, of tha H division, who ''vas near the sp ot at the iime, a nd he followed them along Birdcage-alley, but they ulti mately succeeded in making their escape. He, however, from the light of the lamps, had a full opportunity of distinguishing two of the me n, one of whom he had no doubt was the prisoner, whom he had previously known, and the other was a man who went by the nianaine of "Luelg,” "who' was also Welt kiioWn to . the police; anti the prisoner would have eeen s ceurA at the time if he hg d not slipp e d bill aim s out of a blouse he wo re , the poli c e man h av i ng h ad hold of i t u p o n the oecasio. • Although the prison er was so we ll known on that side of the water, yet he could not be found at any of his usual haunts, and from that circumstance it was supposed he - ii;td /eft .London altogether in order to escape detection. On Monday night, however, he was discovered lurking about the end of Gray's Inn-lane, and immediately taken into custody. In the course of the examination it was stated that the prisoner belonged to a gang of thieves, who for a length of time infested the south side of the river, and that some time since he was tried and con victed at the Central Criminal Court, and had under gone a long imprisonment for his offence. Mr. Roberts, on the part of the prisoner, cross-ex amined the witnesses, with a view to show that'they might have been mistaken the prisoner's identity, owing to the fact of its having been night at the time of the robbery. The policeman, however, spoke with con fidence on the point, but the complainant admitted that owing tr) the suddenness of the attack, and the gas-light having been extinguished at the moment the three men rushed at him, he could not on that account speak with the same degree of certainty to the persons of his assailants. The MAGISTRATE said that he should commit the pri soner for trial, but that it would be necessary to have himlbrought up again on Saturday, in order to have the depositions taken. An official communication was received from the Home Office, appointing Mr. William Taylor, for the last twelve bears second clerk of this Court, to the chief clerkship of the Westminster (late Queen-square), vacant by the death of Mr. Edwards. Mr. Alfred Ta3lor, second clerk at Queen square, has been appointed to the vacant situation at this Court ; and Mr. O'Brien, third clerk at Bow-street, has been promoted to the situation of second clerk at the Westminster Police-court. THAMES. Mrs. Sarah Baker was charged on a peace warrant with using threatening language towards Mr. Jacob Baker, her brother-in-law. Mr. Pelham appeared for the complainant, who carries on business as a baker, in High-street, Bromley. The defendant was th• wife of his brother, a painter and glazier, in High-street, Stratford. On Sunday, the 14th of December, the defendant knocked at Mr. Baker's door, and asked his wife where Jacob Baker was. She answered that he was at home, and the defendant told her she had brought him his two children, and he must support them ; at the same time forcing them into the pas,age. Mr. Baker on hearing this came out of his room, and said the children were none of his, but his brother's. The defendant said the complainant was the father of them, and demanded a weekly allowance for their supp)rt, and added that she would compel him to maintain his offspring. The complainant said if she had any grounds for charging him with being the father of her children, to appeal to the law, and told her to go about her business, for the children were none of his. The defondant said, before she replied to the charge she would request her husband, who was seated at the solicitors' table near her, to withdraw, as what she had to say was not fit for him to hear. The husband said he would not leave the Court—he would hear all. The defendant then repeated that Jacob Baker, and not her husband, was the father of the children. The complainant was then examined at great length by his solicitor, and he said he believed the accusation was made to extort money from him. He had lodged with his brother and sister-in-law, but he never paid her any particular attentions, nor was he ever guilty of any Impropriety with her. His sister-in-law had annoyed him before, and he caused her to be taken before the Il ford Bench, and the Magistrates had warmed her not to annoy him again. Ultimately, Mr. BALLANTINE expressed his belief that the woman was labouring under a delusion, or else her object was to extort money from her brother-in-law. She might settle other matters with her husband, but he would not have the peace broken, and would require bail for her future good behaviour. The defendant, after being locked up four hours, put in bail, her own husband, who is a housekeeper, being accepted as one of the sureties. George Pullen and William Martin, who surrendered up-in bail, and John Cruse, who appeared for the first time, and gave himself up, were charged with assaulting and rubbing John S. Harris, on the 10th of Nov. last. After a tedious discussion, Mr. Pelham said he had a complete answer to the case, which he knew must go to the sessions, and Mr. BALLANTINE, who would not entertain the charge of robbery, held all the defendants to bail, to answer at the next sessions a charge of assaulting, beating, and wounding Harris. THE RECENT ACCIDENT ON THE NORFOLK RAILWAY. GENERAL PASLEY'S OFFICIAL INQUIRY. THETFORD, THURSDAY.—Yesterday morning, Major- General I'asley, the Government Inspector-General of Railways, arrived by the early train from town, to in stitute his official inquiry respecting the late overturn ing of an engine and train on the Norfolk Railway, whereby the engineer and stoker lost their lives, in order to frame his report of the catastrophe for the guidance of the Board of Trade. On his reaching the station of this town, he imme diately proceeded to that part of the line where the accident happened, which passes through Kelveston Valley, attended by Mr. Duff, the Chairman of the Company, Mr. Till, the Secretary, Mr. Marshall, the Locomotive Superintendent, and Mr. Merritt, the contractor for the permanent way, and com menced the investigation by inquiring into the state of the road where the engine went off. Mr. and Mr. Merritt conducted him about 250 feet from where the engine was lying to the broken chair, and then pointed out the exact point, which was twenty-two feet distant. The course of the engine was then minutely explained to him, as being in an oblique direction, how she pitched on her side twice, and then went over or down the embankment. Having taken a note of these facts, as also the appear ance of the rails which had been torn up, and which laid on the side of the line, the engine formed the next subject of his inquiry. It had been raised from the hole at the bottom of the bank, having sunk deep into the soil, and was perfectly at view for the most searching examination. It was minutely inspected by him, as sisted by Mr. Marshall, internally and externally. The plates and cylinders had been removed, and although it had received many bump 3 and bruises, no damage was discovered that was likely to hare caused it to run off. It was thought from the circumstance of the engine jumping at the same moment as the fire and steam flew from it, as described by the witnesses at the inquest, that the boiler or some of the tubes had exploded. The supposition, however, has been entirely set at rest, as not the least injury was found that could have caused such a result ; the regulator remained in the same posi tion, and clearly indicated that the steam had been shut off by the unfortunate engine -driver, Pickering. There was no axle broke, or any of the rods that worked the driving wheel ; all were found perfect, with the excep tion of a trifling defect, which could not in any way be said to have led to the accident. The principal witnesses, Coldman, the guard, who had charge of the train—Tedder, the second one—as also the plate-layers, were in attendance to be examined by the General. He, however, did not take their state ment; no doubt finding the newspaper report of their evidence sufficient for his information. Mr. Wright, a county magistrate, residing at Kelveston Hall, was present, and General Pasley, hearing that a person in his employ had seen the accident, and had timed the rate of the train just previous, desired that he might be sent for. On the man arriving, he stated that he saw the train upwards of a mile before the engine ran off the line. He saw it pass the mile-post in the Kelveston-cutting, as also the one near where it hap pened with the accident, and it was going at a very great rate. He thought sixty miles an hour; for he pulled out his watch and timed it. It ran from post to post in a minute. The General requested a sight of the watch, and, judging from its antiquity that it probably might not have one of the most accurate movements, having no second-hand, he thought that there might be some mistake as to the speed the train was said to be travelling at. At this juncture a train was heard coming up, and the party retired on one side to let it pass, which it did at the ordinary rate. Mr. Wright, evidently much amazt.d at the velocity, alluded to that train's progress as a cor roborative proof of the man's assertion, and pointing to the passing train, observed that it was going at sixty miles an hour. A dismision then ensued, and on the General being applied to, he remarked that, standing as they did on the side of the line, the train might seem to be going at a gr ea t er ra t e th an it really was. For his part, he did not think it was proceeding faster than 30 miles per hour. It was expected that General Pasley would have gone on to Norwich, where the shattered carriages of the train had been taken to, but he left for London about five o'clock. Although he did not give any opinion as to the cause of the disaster, yet it is very probable, from the remarks that fell from him, that he will come to the same conclusion as Mr. Bidder and Mr. Marshall. He ob served, that the escape of the passengers was most mira culous. Since the inquest the bodies have been interred at Ely. They were married ; and lledgar's widow had only been confined a day or two prior to his dreadful fate.

Our columns of Monday contained, and were almost monopolised by, the prolix and interesting, but not amus ing correspondence carried on during the last twelve month between our Minister to the United States and the two for,igt Ministers of the Republic, Messrs. Cal houn and Buchanan. Without at all professing to dis sect these State papers with the accuracy and minute criticism which their importance deserves, we may yet lay before our readers a summary of the more salient points which this voluminous correspondence presents. The first letter of the American Minister, Mr. Cal houn, dated September 3, 1844, commences rather omi nously : " The undersigned declines the proposal of the Bri tish Plenipotentiary, on the ground that it would have the effect of restricting the possessions of the United States to limits far more circumscribed than their claims ch arty entitle them to. It proposes to limit their northern boundary by a line drawn from the Rocky Mountains, along the 49th parallel of latitude to the north-easternmost branch of the Columbia river, and thence down the middle of that river to the sea, giving to Great Britain all the country north, and to the United States all south of that line, except a detached territory extending on the Pacific, and the Straits of Fuca from Bulfinch's Harbour to hood's Canal. To which it is proposed, in addition, to make free to the United States any port which the United States Government might desire, either on the mainland or on Vancouver's Island, south of latitude 49 &grees." His successor, Mr. Buchanan, concludes his letter of the 12th of July, 1845, by proposing to the British Go vernment, in the name of the President, that " The Oregon territory shall be divided between the two countries by the 49th parallel of north latitude from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean ; offer ing, at the same time, to make free to Great Britain any port or ports on Vancouver's Island, south of this pa rallel, which the British Government may desire." It will appear, therefore, on reference being made to the map, that the representative of the American Government claimed for his country all the district be tween the 49th degree of north latitude, including the Columbia River and the land on each side of it, and ex clusively only of such port or ports on Vancouver's Island as we might wish to retain, south of this line ; whilst, on the other hand, our Minister claimer; on our behalf all the territory that lies to the north and north-west of a line continued from the present boundary in the parallel 49 degrees to the north-east point of the Co lumbia, and drawn through that river to the sea, with the reservation of a coast district in favour of America. A glance at the map will show that the objectof both diplo matists was to obtain for their respective countries the navigation of the Columbia and the possession of the ports at its mouth. The former of these the American Mi nister claims for the United States exclusively ; whilst ours was content to share both the benefits of its naviga tion and the possession of its banks on equal terms with the counter-claimant. But the terms proposed pleased neither party. Mr. Pakenham expressed a hope that the American Government would be " prepared to offer some further proposal for the settlement of the Oregon ques tion more consistent with fairness and with the rea ' sonable expectations of the British Government." And Mr. Buchanan replied to this in a letter which concludes the published correspondence, by withdrawing the proposition previously made by the United States Government to Great Britain. Such is the aspect, as yet revealed, of our diplomatic relations with the Ameri can republic. It is one which presents difficulties, but not such difficulties as can only be cut by the sword. The correspondence which has taken place, while it re flects great credit on the talent, is no less creditable to the temper, of those who have conducted it; and though we might be disposed to carp at some of the verbal sophisms and special pleadings employed by Mr. Buchanan, we are more inclined to praise the unbluster ing and dignified tone which distinguishes both his and his predecessor's communications. The rights on which rest the claims advanced by the Ministers of the two nations are threefold ; viz., those of discovery, occupation, and the transmission of Spanish rights. England claims the valley of the Columbia River, and the coast to the south of Vancouver's Island, on the authority of disco veries by Cooke, Vancouver, and Mackenzie ; on the authority of the Nootka Sound Convention in 1790 with Spain ; and of settlements effected and maintained at different ti mes by British subjects. The United States claim the territory on the ground of dis coveries made by her citizens Gray, Kendrick, &c.; of the cession made by Spain in 1819 ; and of occupation and settlements previously, as well as afterwards, Effected by American traders. It will be obvious that the right of sovereignty which attends discovery, unless backed by some decisive measures on the part of the Government by whom or by whose subjects the disco very is made, is worth very little. Did the rule prevail that every nation was entitled in perpetuity to the sove reignty of any territory discovered and claimed by any of its a übjects, without any immediate act on the part of its Executive to enforce such claim, the tenure of most colonial dependencies at the present day would be one of very equi vocal legality ; and, indeed, there is so much obscurity and doubt hanging over the history of all territorial discoveries, that it would be difficult to suggest a worse title than that which is conferred by the assertion of such a claim, unsupported by any evidence of confir mation by the Government in whose behalf it is repre sented to have been made. In the present in stance the honours of discovery appear to be due to a Spanish navigator of the 17th cen tury, Juan de: Fuca, who has given his name to the strait that separates Vancouver's Island from the main land. Nor is a much better title afforded by mere oc cupancy unprotected by the home Government of a state, ant unrecognised by foreign nations. The question of right is thus narrowed to the consideration of the original proprietorship, and subsequent alienation. The American Ministers assert, not only the valley of the Columbia, but the whole of the Oregon territory—and territory as far as the 52d degree of north latitude—be longed to Spain, and was by Spain transferred to the United States at the treaty of Florida in 1819. They say that they have a title not only to the valley drained by the Columbia, but also to the whole of the Oregon ; and they take credit to themselves for evincing no small moderation in proposing the parallel of the -49th degree as a boundary line. The question, therefore, arises, which is the better claim ; that which is founded on the treaty by Spain with Eng land in 1790, or that which rests on the Florida treaty with the United States in 1819 ? By the former Spain agreed to give indemnity to British subjects dispossessed of their settlements about Nootka Sound, and to gua rantee the same liberty of access to the citizens of both nations, "as well in those parts which were to be re stored to British subjects," as in the other part of North America, which then belonged to Spain. By the latter she ceded all her authority and jurisdiction over her provinces in North America to the United States. Now, when it is recollected that in 1789, Spain abandoned her settlements in Nootka Sound, and that from this time she appears to have ne glected this portion of her colonial empire alto gether, it seems a very questionable doctrine to hold that any treaty made 30 years afterwards could trans fer to another nation possessions left, and recognised as left, in the hands of Englishmen. The only parties to the treaty of 1790 were England and Spain. The country which was the subject of the treaty was after wards abandoned by Spain. The parties expressly men tioned in the treaty as to be " indemnified " and " re stored " were English. It seems difficult to avoid one of two conclusions on premises like these, viz., that the property and possession of this district were virtually ceded to England, or that Spain and England were to hold it on terms of joint occupancy. In the former case Spain could have no right whatsoever to transfer it by a treaty made 30 years afterwards ; in the other she could only surrender the moiety of her posses sions and rights which she shared with England. In neither case can the United States claim the exclu sive sovereignty of the Oregon territory. But we are aware that it is not the e qu ity o f a title which is alone allowed to determi n e quest i o ns of this kind. The inte rests of the litigant parties form an important element in the materials for the deliberation of diplomatists. It is for the advantage of the two it countries that th e dis pute should be speedily settled ; is for the advantage of the whole civilised world that it should be settled amicably. It would be monstrous that two nations which have for twenty or thirty years been enjoying this vast territory on terms of joint occupancy, should now proceed to a v i o l en t an d sangu i nary ter mination of their several claims. It' would be mon strous that claims virtually disallowed by the hitherto existing conditions of settlement should now he set up to deprive British settlers of some of the chief advantages which they have heretofore possessed in security. If Great Britain had no right to any portion of the Oregon territory, or if the occupation of the Columbia valley was an invasion, how comes it that the United States Government did not remonstrate long ago ? Why were Englishmen allowed to settle at all in the Oregon ? How came they there at first ? The answer is plain. There could have been no exclusiv e right avowed on the part of the United States to the possession of this district at the period of their first settlement. There is nothing of the kind pretended to in this correspondence. The whole country was prob ably regarded as open to the colonists of every n at i on. Florida Afterwards, the treaty of was pron ounce d or pretended to have ceded the entire government of it to the United States. But the very policy p ursued b y them shows that they felt the difficulty of acting upon such a title. And, if there were difficulties then in the way of an exclusive claim, there are no less difficulties now, when the numbers of the settlers have been in creased and their relations complicated by time. It must be a matter of arrangement. Each of the two nations has enjoyed the full advantages of the district, in respect of rivers and harbours. It would be unjust to make such a partiti on as would take from the su bj e cts of either state privileges to which they have been accus tomed. Great Britain proposes to oivide the use of the Columbia Riv er w i t h America. Why should the latter reject this offer ? The subjects of Great Britain have pr i v il ege hitherto enjoy e d t hi s in common with American citizens. It would be carrying concession to the verge of servility were the English Government to assent to such a deprivation without o btaining some compensatory benefit ; an d w hy did the American Government reject the pr o p osa l o f submitting the question to arbitration ? The English Government has no other desire on this subject but that which inspires the English people to act in the spirit of fairness and of peace. It cov e t s no ex tension of empire ; it seeks no unjust aggrandizement ; it earnestly deprecates the notion of hostilities between two kindred nations, but as earnestly revolts from the idea of neglecting a few helpless. subjects in a remo t e and unprotected district, or of subitiing to any sacri fice incompatible with tLa national honour. It, there fore; would wittingly confide the decision of its claims and . the definition of its rights to any impartial arbiter, if it should be found impracticable to arrive at a Wis. , factory settlement by negotiation, FLANDERS MAIL.
