amount to more than one-third of a penny for five hun dred miles, so that you may have meat nearly as cheap in London as you have it in Inverness. There is another great advantage arisinc , from this easy and cheap mode of transit; which is, that the little country butchers who purchase lots of cattle and sheep for the consumption of the town or village in which they may live, always find among those lots a few that are of too good a quality for the consumption of their particular distri • ; and if they are enabled to send them to a great distance to a more wealthy part of the country, they not only supply those rich communities with the superior article that they want, but they can supply it at a cheaper rate; and again, this enables them to sell the medium and inferior animal at a lower rate to the consumer in the country; so that the rich population of towns are benefited, and the poor of the district where the animals are killed are very much benefited. Is there not a demand 'in large towns for picked joints 2—There frequently is, and I know, from the in quiries I made in Yorkshire for the Direct Northern Railway, that the butchers are contemplating, when that railroad communication shall be worked out, to send the surplus of their better joints to the London market, which will enable them to sell the inferior parts to the working classes at a lower price. In short, quick conveyance enables them to dispose of the whole animal in the best market ?—Yes. EFFECTS OF RAILWAYS UPON AGRICULTURE. The following are extracts from the evidence of James Smith, Esq , (.if Deanston), given before the Select Committee of the House of Commons on Railway Acts Enactments—the minutes of the testimony adduced be fore which Committee have just been issued, pursuant to an order of that House, dated the 25th of August last. The extracts in question relate to the effects of the fa cilities afforded by railway conveyance to a g riculture improvement : Have you had occasion to consider the facilities afforded railway conveyance to agri cu lt u ral imp rovements s?— s. I have. Will you state generally what you consider has been the result ?—I have observed upon those lines that have been in existence for some years, over which I have had occasion to travel, that a very great agricultural im provement of the lands in the neighbourhood has been the result, arising mainly from the cheapness and facility of transports,- a nd I have drawn out some tables to illus trate that. I have one table taking a farm of 200 acres and a six-course shift ; the committee are aware that there are different shifts of rotation, and that some lands snit best to be cultivated upon one, and some upon the other. I have taken this farm upon the six-course shift, which is most suitable for the bulk of the medium land of Englard and Scotland ; I have supposed that farm to be in most full cultivation, thoroughly improved, and to be both arable and pasture. I have taken the quantities of green and dairy produce and cattle, and every thing which I can conceive will be exported from that farm ; and it amounts to 148 tons. I have then taken away the imports, consisting of store cattle to be fed, lime and other matters, such as guano, and the different chemical manures which are now being intro duced ; and also seed, because the shifting of seed in a good farm is always attended to ; and I have supposed that this weight shall be transported upon an average 15 miles, which I think is a very low estimate. The quan tity imported will be 197 tons ; making altogether, of imports and exports, 346 tons 14 cwt. That is all for 15 miles ?—Yes. Then I have taken the expense of transport by railway at Id. per ton per mile; on some railways it is considerably higher, and on some lower, but in the present advanced state of railways we may fairly assume that to be the general rate. For the produce transported, and the manure brought to the land ?—Yes ; taking it upon the average that I have taken, and also taking the number of persons that will travel to market, and in various ways, at id. per mile, the whole amount of cl.arge of carriage for imports and exports is 401. Bs. 9d. By the old mode of convey ance the expense would have been, assuming 6d. per ton per mile for the goods, which I find to be as low as you can carry it by the old mode, 1421. 16s. 3d. That is for the same distance?—Yes. On what principle do you assume 6d. to have been the charge by the ordinary roads ?—I speak from my own experience of thirty years. I have had a great deal to do with carting, both for agricultural produce and manufacturing produce, and I have found that I could never get it done under 6d. a ton in England; it costs rather more than that. In giving an account of the produce of a farm, you deduct fur home consumption?—Yes, I do. Therefore upon a farm such as you have stated, there would be a saving of 1021. 7s. 6d.?—Yes. Then taking that at twenty years' purchase, it will give 2,0471. 10s.; if you take it at thirty years' purchase, it will amount to 3,0711. ss. Have you given the supposed rental of that farm?— No, I have not; the rental would be about 4001 This expense, then, would be in addition to the rent? —Yes. And the same farm which without a railway would be only worth 4001 would be worth 5001. after a railway was established ?—Yes; 10s. an acre more. You have stated the a dvantage which a particular farm would have in being able to send its produce to market by railway, and bringing back manures; will you state what is the advantage in respect to stock in particular? —The advantage in respect to stock is very great indeed, both in bringing lean stock from the district in which it is reared to the richer district in which it is fed, and also for the transmission of the cattle, when fed, to the market for the consumer. Are you able to show to what extent that works?—l have some statements here upon that subject; the rate hitherto charged by railways for the conveyance of stock is pretty nearly the same per mile as the expense of driving, and where the great saving occurs is in the condition of the animals, especially in fat stock ; the loss from driving them being equal in the case of fat bullocks on a drive of from 60 to 70 miles to the whole expense of the transport; it is at least 5 per cent. upon the value of the bullock. The advantage as regards the conveyance of the pro duce is an advantage of so much per ton?—Yes. Was not the use of manures imported from abroad limited to certain distances from the ports ?—Certainly, either from the ports, or from canal communication. The introduction of railways enables them to be sent to much greater distances at the same cost?—Decidedly. In that way districts which were not able to profit by those manures are now able to do so?—They are. In consequence of the introduction of railways, have not there been manufactories established in different parts of the country for the manufacture of sulphuric acid for the use of agriculture?—Yes; there has been a eery extensive i n t ro d uct i on o f art ifi c i a l c h em i ca l manures consequence of the facility of transport, and I have no doubt that it will very greatly increase. What manures do you principally allude to?—I allude 1 to Liebig's chemical manures. I have not myself, in my experience, found any great efficacy in those manures; but there are other manures which have been found very efficacious ; there is the urates, prepared from urine; there is bone dust; there is rape cake, and nitrate of soda; and there are mixed manures, consisting of seve ral ingredients, chemically combined. Is not the use of sulphuric acid for agricultural pur poses considerably increasing?—l think it is; it is very much used for dissolving bones. May not railroads be used to carry manures from towns to a much greater extent than was formerly the case?—Certainly. And in that way the waste that now takes place will hereafter, it may be hoped, be prevented?—To a consi derable extent. Have you considered to what extent railways may be Made useful for the purpose of mixing soils?—Yes, I have. Will you state your opinion upon that subject?—The transport of earths for mixing soils, if the roalroads could" carry them to tho immediate ground where they were to be applied, would be of very great advantage; but the difficulty of availing yourself of the benefit of railways for the transport of soils is, that the soil must be refilled, in most cases, into common carts, and carted to a considerable distance. Railways would be useful only in cases where those earths eould be easily obtained P—Exactly. Take the transport of sea sand?—Sea sand in Ireland is carried thirty miles up the country in little carts, and is found to pay the farmer for the carriage when applied to clayey and mossy soils. And therefore if the charge made for the conveyance of earths was very low, should you think that in that par ticular case the calcareous sand from the sea shore might be carried profitably for considerable distances into the interior?—l think so; and in many instances where there are moors and waste land, it would be well worth the while of the proprietor, having a railway passing through that district, to construct a tram railway from the railway on to the moor or waste land. Is not nitre also, and lime, in certain districts, used, which might b e t ransporte d w i t h a d vantage to great dis tances ?—Yes. You are aware of the improvements which have taken place in agriculture, by the introduction of those foreign chemical manures ?—Yes. Is not the utility of them as stimulants limited to a short period ?—Bone dust, which is brought very ex tensively from the continent of Europe to this country, is a very permanent manure. Guano is less permanent, but it has this advantage, that it enables the farmer to grow an extended breadth of green crop, for the feeding of cattle and sheep; and if the green crop is grazed, he is enabled to increase the produce of his farm. But that requires to be renewed at short periods?—lt requires to be renewed at shorter periods than bone dust, but it has established extra stock manure upon the farm. But would altering the earths be a permanent im provement of the soil ?—lt would: a great deal of mossy soil, if you lay on even half an inch, in some cases, of sand, or more, especially alluvial soil, it will render that ground productive for many years. Is it necessary, in order that these manures may be made extensively useful, that the charges upon railroads should be very low T—lt is. You have given a calculation of the benefit to a farm on the supposition that the rate per ton shall be ld. : what would the advantages be, supposing the rates were to be reduced to one half or one quarter ?—There can be no doubt that a low rate of charge would very greatly tend to the increased consumption of manures, and to the transport of earths for agricultural purposes ; that would give a much increased produce to the land, which would enable the agriculturist to furnish his commodity at a lower rate; that again would increase the consump tion in large towns; and in manufacturing populations it would also increase a greater traffic upon the railways, and enable them still further to reduce their rates ; and as the heavier articles are more consumed by the work ing classes, it would add very much to their comfort ; and there are great tracts of country which would be cultivated to much advantage if fa voured with railway communication, which are now allowed to lie compa ratively barren. Looking, therefore, to those results, ought not rail roads receiving high profits to be obliged to extend branches laterally to districts which want of communi cation has left in comparative unproductiveness ?—I think so. It has occurred to me upon this point, that it would be a great advantage if, by some public autho rity the country should be divided as regards railways into sections, so that there might be systems of railways established for those different sections, according to their respective wants. A system so established would be en abled to provide branch railways into districts which could not of themselves afford to pay for a railway; they would be enabled to do that, because this branch, though it did not pay in itself, would pay as part of a general system, in consequence of the additional traffic that it would bring upon the line. Itefe rTlN again to the benefit to agriculture from the introduction of railways, and consequently, of cheap conveyance, can you of theadvan _ _ give the committee any particulars rage ot the transport of the carcases of animals, as compared with the old sy stem ?—Without a railroad it i s impossible to trans port cattle any greater dis tance than from 50 to 70 m iles , rout very great dete rioration, but railroads will :fro: the means of trans porting those cattle 300 or 400 may e 4 rtedeat7aodo vantage, and in carcases they at t from the miles; and in that way meat may most distant parts to populous districts additional expense, which, with the expense for trans porting either beef er mottos in the carcass, d oes not By the former mode of conveyance there was no pos • sibility of carrying killed meat any great distances ? It was quite impossible. There is another great advan tage in killing the animal in the country districts ; the offal or inward parts of the animal are available to the working classes of the district, and there is an immense quantity available for manure, which when brought to those large towns is a nuisance ; in the country it is of great value. Have you anything to add in explanation upon the points upon which you have row been examined ? I have several tables to give in illustrating the different points upon which I have been examined. I have no doubt that railroads will do more for communicating intelligence amongst the general community than even the press has done, inasmuch as seeing a thing is much more than hearing of a thing, and there will be much greater progress made in the diffusion of improvement by railroads tha❑ by any other means. TRANSFER OF LICENCES. ST. ANNE'S, WESTMINSTER. At a special session for the district of Soho, held on Saturday (present, James Whiskin, Esq., Chairman, and Thomas Russell, Esq.), the following transfers of licenses took place:—Dean-street, Suho: Green Man and French Horn, from Edward Stone to Charles Cutting—Greek street: George and Dragon, from Mary Anne Page to J Imes Norton—Hayes-court: Geneva Arms, from Robert Tibbatt to Walter Wightman—Little Compton-street: Coach and Horses, from Robert Seaton to George Sandy —Lisle-street: Prince of Wales, from Louisa Meunier to Henry Bingham—Macclesfield-street : Horse and Dolphin, from David Moyniham to Isaac Pye—Moor street: Three Tuns, from Robert Willey to Thomas Nar riott—Princes-street: Falcon, from John Brook Haynes to James Frederick Tindall. The above were the whole of the applications made for transfers, and none of the cases called tor any special re mark from the magistrates, further than the requirement on the part of the authorities that the parties above en trusted with licences should conduct their houses in strict accordance with the provisions of the law. The magistrates then separated, there being no further business to transact on behalf of the parish. FINSBURY DISTRICT. On Saturday, a special session was holden at the Session House, Clerkeawell, before Messrs. Wilkes and Warner, the magistrates for several purposes, when the following public-house property changed hands:— The Welsh Harp, in Aylesbury-street, from Alfred Poole to John Attley ; Apple Tree, Dorrington-street, from William Henry Young to William Brown ; the Bull's Head, Peter -street, from Mary Martin to Thomas Williams ; the Cart and Horses, Turnmill-street, from Henry Cross to Charles Leverge ; the Gun, St. John street, from Thomas Shirley to John Sawyer ; White Hart, Myddleton-street, from Isaac Jeans to John Howdy ; Horse and groom, Turnmill street, from John Bower to Daniel Newman ; Lamb and Flag, Clerken well-green, from Edward Thomas Phinn to John Bradley ; Hemingford Arms, Hemingford road, from William Harris to Reuben James Huntley ; Nightingale, Hornsey-road, from Joseph Archdeacon to Richard Allen ; Oxford Arms, Oxford-street, New North-road, from William Moody to John Thornett ; the Dolphin, Old-street, from James Walker Ready to John Henry Spear ; the Red Lion, City-road, from Thomas Henry Brown to Sarah Smith. STRAND UNION. On Saturday the following transfers of licences took place at the Strand Petty Sessions, before Messrs. Graham (Chairman), and George Cowdray : Bull's Head, Vere-street, Clare-market, from Mr. G. Davis to Mr. Michael Alengan ; Castle, Portugal -street, from Mr. Wm. Ford to Mrs. Mary Field ; Crown and Still, Clare -street, from Mr. James Almeroth to Mr. Thomas Hetherington ; Fountain, Clare street, from Mr. Wm. Dousbery to Mr. Henry Eluses ; Grapes, No. 109, Drury- lane, from Mr. Win. Neat to Mr. Daniel Cold man, late of the Cloudesley Arms, Cloudesley-terrace, Islington ; Pavilion, Newcastle -street, from Mr. Fred. Newhouse to Mr. G. Baldwin • Old George, Stanhope street, Clare-market, from Mr. John Hooper Staines to Mr. Win. Bradley ; Nag's Head, James-street, Covent garden to Mrs. Elizabeth Baker, administratrix to oer late husband ; Bell, Exeter-street, Strand, from Mr. E. Rine to Mr. W. Evans ; Red Lion, Houghton-street, Clare-market; the late proprietor, Mr. W. Meades, not being present, in consequence (f being in the debtors' prison, Whitecross-street, the Chairman objected to grant the transfer, stating that it was a principle he al ways adopted, and which was always followed out at other sessions, not to grant a transfer in the absence of the individual who was about to part with his house, as the Bench must always be satisfied as to the facts of the case. Inspector Cogan observed that the police magis trates always had similar objections. Licence refused. NOVEL APPLICATION.--,lr. Moseley, vestry clerk of the parish of St, Paul, Covent-garden, attended on be half of aeveral licensed victuallers carrying on business in Bow-street and its vicinity, soliciting the interference of the Bench to prevent Mr. Humphreys, proprietor of ' an hotel opposite the Grapes, Bow-street, from publicly selling gin and spirits. He stated that the former land lord, Mr. Jackson, who had parted with the house and interest of the business to Mr. Humphreys, when he ob tained his licence, pledged his word that he would only sell gin and other spirits to persons who were in the habit of dining and lodging at his house. He (Mr. • Moseley) was informed that in the alterations which were now in progress it was intended to construct the premises so as to be able to sell to out-door customers. The CHAIRMAN remarked, that a pledge entered into by the former proprietor was not binding on the present occupier. Mr. Roach, transferring 'clerk, said that Mr. Hum phrey formerly conducted La Ville de Paris Hotel, in the Haymarket, and carried on the business of a well ' known house in Brydges-street, Covent-garden. The CHAIRMAN stated that the case was out of the jurisdiction of the Bench, and that when a renewal of the application for the licence was made at the granting of licences; the attention of the Bench might be called to it. If Mr. Humphreys persisted he must abide by the consequences. HIGHWAYS AND RAILWAYS. In the very interesting report on " Railway Acts Enactments," some useful information is given respect. ing Highways and Railways, which has a direct bearing at the present time. The report states, "the roads of a country, from the very nature of things, are public con cerns ; they are as necessary to a people as the air they breathe. The very nature of society implies that men should have access to each other for the supply of their respective wants, whether they live in towns or are scat tered over the face of a country ; and the common sense of mankind tells them that the roads and streets should be free from obstruction. In this country, from the re motest times, the title of the Sovereign as representing the nation, to the control of its roads has always been allowed. The designation of King's Highways,' by which the public roads were known, sufficiently indicates the right which the Crown possessed and exercised over them. The practice of intrusting to associations locally in terested, the making and repairing of roads, with the power of levying tolls to repay the outlay required for that purpose, which first became general towards the middle of the last century, amounted merely to a delega tion for a time by the Legislature, on certain conditions, of a portion of the powers of Government to meet a public exigency, but never to a permanent transfer of them. The public has always possessed the right to control the trustees, and to withdraw from them the management of the highways included in their trusts, and there are repeated instances in our own time, of the exercise of this right." Further on in the Report, the Committee declare, " But of all the means of communi cation between different parts of a country, that by rail ways is by far the most important. If it be necessary for the public welfare that a country should never divest itself in perpetuity of its right of property in its ordinary highways, it is still more important that it should not part with the right to control its railways; on an ordinary road there could have been no monopoly of the means of con veyance; a man might travelby it at all hours, and in any manner he pleased; but on a railway he can only travel at such time, and under such arrangements, as those who are intrusted with its direction may choose to adopt. If one coach on a road charged too much, travelled at too slow or too quick a rate, or failed in one respect to give satisfaction, another might have been started ; but on railways there is no option ; the pas senger must either submit to the regulations fixed by its directors, or abstain from using It has now been ascertained that the hope of relief from the objection able course pursued on one railroad, by having recourse to a competing line, must in a great measure be aban doned. It is confidently stated by nearly all the wit nesses examined by your Committee that the public can not count on being relieved by competition from the con sequences of an abusive exercise of the power on the part of railway companies. From the very nature of things, therefore, a railway company exercises a com plete monopoly ; but a monopoly subject:to no responsi bility, and under no efficient check or control, is neces sarily an intolerable abuse, and it can only be rendered innoxious by subjecting it to a rigorous control and supervision." CHERTSEY.—EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—Mr. John Smith, farmer of New Haw, in the parish of Chertsey, was brought up on Wednesday week last, before J. I. Briscoe, Esq., chairman ; the Hon. G. J. Cavendish, Captain Prescott, and R. W. Edgell, Esq., charged with having on the 29th ult., followed and taken game with a dog and gun, he not having a game certificate, and for a like offence on the 31st. Mr. Binns, of Essex street, Strand, attended on his behalf, and the case created a very great interest, the room being crowded. Henry Baker deposed that he was assistant gamekeeper to Messrs. Summer and Sparkes, and that on the day named he saw the defendant in his turnip field, near New Haw ; he had a dog and gun with him, and was beating down the field. I saw the dog point, and almost immediately afterwards heard a gun fired, and heard the defendant say " Dead !" He saw a partridge. He also saw Mr. smith load his gun, and pick something up, which he put into his pocket ; he could not see what it was. Defendant then went away. Could not say the exact distance he was from Mr. Smith ; it might have been forty, fifty, sixty, or one hundred yards. Ridger was then called—Knew Mr. Smith ; recollected the 29th October. On Saturday he was at work on part of the plantation, when Baker came to him about half-past four, and asked him if he had heard a gun go off at that time ? He replied in the negative. Baker then said, "Do you see them men yonder?" He replied " yes, and that they appeared to be at work." He asked him if he could see if one was Smith? He said he could not. Baker then said he saw Smith shoot on Thursday, and asked him if he could swear one of the men (pointing to the direction of Mr. Smith's house) was the defendant? He said he could not. He asked him why he could not swear it was him on Thursday? and the reply was that he was too far off to speak positively. He then said if he would go and swear he was eighty yards off, the magistrates would not know any difference. It was quite a mist all the 29th, and he was at work near the plantation, but did not hear any shooting the whole of the day. He was unable to see more than eighty yards. Mr. Binns having again addressed the Court. the Bench, after a short consultation disrnissad the case. Thesecond case was then proceeded with. Baker was again sworn, and stated most positively that on the day in question, he saw the defendant in the plantation at the rear of his dog ; that he fired at a hare, being at that time not more than twelve yards from him ; and that both dog and hare passed within five yards of him. The dog was a light-coloured pointer ; the defendant and himself saw each other, but they did not speak.--James Moss swore positively that his master, the defendant, was not absent from his sight three minutes during the whole of the day.—Ridger was again called, and swore that he was working near the spot, and that he heard no firing on the 31st. The case was dismissed, the magistrates being equally divided in their opinion.—Bucks Gazette. Not one railway plan has been deposited this year with the clerk of the peace for Newark, and only eight for the county. Laat year there were between thirty 'and forty. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENTNG, DECEMBER 'f, 1144 POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANS 1 ON-HO US E. A foreigner, named Hendershon, was brought before the Lord Mayor, on Saturday, charged with the follow ing burglary and robbery. The. prisoner is one of those fellows who are in the habit of standing shivering in the streets, half-naked, in the coldest weather. Mr. Leach, son to the proprietor of the house No. 5, Great Tower-street, watch and clock-maker, stated that on Friday evening the window of the shop was broken with a stone seven or eight pounds in weight by the prisoner, who then thrust his hands into the shop and tookjout a case containing between thirty and forty pounds worth of seals, rings, and other jewellery. If it bad not been for the sash and other impediments, the stone would in all probability have struck him, as, no doubt, was intended, for the purpose of preventing him from running after the thief. He, however, escaped injury, and jumping over the counter, ran out of the shop, called " Stop thief," and succeeded in getting hold of the prisoner, who had been just received into the arms of a policeman, and upon whose person some of the stolen property was found. The prisoner's hands were cut with the glass. He had thurst both his hands in to grasp the tray of jewellery. The tray was thrown upon the pavement, and several of the neighbours picked up the greater part of the goods, and restored them to the owner. Mr. Leach, the prosecutor, stated that the prisoner had some time ago broken a pane of glass in his shop, and stolen four gold watches of the value of upwards of 60/., and the Recorder had sentenced him to twelve months' imprisonment. The punishment at that time was considered exceedingly disproportioned to the offence, and not at all calculated to deter ruffians from the commission of similar depredations, and the complainant addressed the Court upon the subject. He appre hended now that the lightness of the punishment at that time had probably led to the commission of the pre sent offence. The prisoner was committed for trial. CLE I?K.ENIVE L L. A CHANDLER SHOPRF.EPER FINED FOR SELLING BEER ON SUNDAY.—John I'iii/poi, a chandler shopkeeper, residing in Islington, was summoned by the police for having sold table beer on Sunday morning before the hour of one o'clock. An attorney, who attended for the defendant, con tended that selling small beer did not come within the meaning of the Act of Parliament, 2 and 3 Vic., cap. 47, which prohibited the sale of wine, spirits, beer, or other fermented liquors on Sundays before one o'clock, and that small beer was no more a fermented liquor than ginger beer. Mr. COMAE said the question had often been decided, and no one could doubt that small beer was a fermented liquor within the meaning of the Act. The defendant was fined 20s. and costs. LAMBETH. CONVICTION 01 A POLICEMAN,—Mr. Norton investi gated a charge against Thomas Redone, 251 P, and James Dobbin, 175 M, metropolitan police. It appeared that on Thursday afternoon two men, named Shepheard and Adams, employed by a person named Harrington, a running dustman, were caught by a person in the employ of Mr. Davis a dust con tractor, removing some dust from a house in Camber well parish, who called constable Redone to take them into custody, but the constable made light of it, and walked away. Mr. Davis's servant, however, contrived to stop them, when they assaulted him violently with a thick stick. Redone, hearing the cry of " Police!" re turned to the spot, when Mr. Davis's man showed him his hand, which was bleeding, and told him that he had been struck several blows on his head, and further saw him struck by Harrington, the master of the two men. He let them go, after keeping them in custody for a short time. The complaint against constable Dobbin was that Shepheard and Adams boasted that he would not have interrupted them, as he was well acquainted with Harrington, their master, with whom he was subsequently seen to come out of a beer-shop, and when questioned on the subject by Inspector Campbell, he first denied it, but afterwards said he went in for a pint of beer. After a lengthened investigation, Shep heard and Adams were fined 30s. each, or a month's im prisonment, Adams in a further sum of Si. or two months' imprisonment for the assault on Mr. Davis's man ; Harrington, the master, in 51., or two months' im prisonment, fur a like assault ; and Mr. Norton said, with respect to the constables, he was of opinion that the com plaint against Dobbin amounted merely to an error in judgment, in not having taken the parties into custody, when desired to do so, and the accusation of having drunk at the beer-shop with Harrington was not proved, though he must say it was a suspicious circumstance. The charge against the other constable, he was sorry to say, was very different. His conduct in the first in stance in laughing at the wan who wished him to take the dustmen into custody was highly improper, and his leaving the man struggling with the two men and walk ing off was equally improper, and his not keeping the parties in custody after the man had shown the wound upon his hand, and told him that he had been struck several times on the head, was conduct that could not be tolerated. It was most distressing to him to be obliged to convict a man who had been in the police force for upwards of fifteen years ; but his duty demanded it. If conduct like his was tolerated there would be no safety for the public. The law enabled him to impose a penalty of 101. ; but under the circumstances he would mitigate it to one half, and the constable must therefore pay a penalty of 51., or one month's imprisonment. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. TIIE LATE LIEUTENANT W. P. GREEN. PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY.—We hasten, at the earliest possible period after becoming acquainted with the real circumstances of the case, to repair an injury which we may have inflicted upon en institution which has proved itself' worthy of its title. Commander Dickson, secretary of the Royal Naval Benevolent Society, did, immediately on the receipt of Mrs. Green's application, forward, per return of post, 51. to relieve present distresses, with a printed form, pro mising further assistarce. This prompt and really bene volent donation fully exculpates both the institution and its secretary from the charge of neglect. We have much pleasure in further adding that Captain Dickson has in terested himself, in conjunction with Sir John Richard- son, M.D., medical inspector of the Royal Hospital, Haslar, in the endeavour to get the eldest daughter into a lunatic asylum, of which receptacle, we are sorry to say, she is too tit a candidate, grief having been the chief cause of the loss of her reason. We are happy to announce that subscriptions are coming in quickly, and that in a few days a list of donors will be fully advertised. In the meantime all subscriptions are requested to be forwarded to Captain or Mrs. Pasco, of the Victory ; Mr. Lowes, surgeon, Cold Harbour, Gosport ; or to our correspondent, 53, High street, Portsmouth. We are requested to state, respecting the grounding of the Avenger steam frigate on her passage hence to Plymouth in charge of a navigating party from the St. Vincent, that the course steered was S. W., and not S.E. The Sparrow surveying ketch, Commander Otter, ar rived on Friday night from the coast of Scotland to refit and lay up for the winter months. She was towed into harbour yesterday. The Mercury tender, Second Master Scarlett, re turned yesterday morning from Plymouth with Lieute nant Moorsom and the remaining portion of the crew of the St. Vincent, which w as employed in navigating th e Avenger to that port. She sailed again last night for the eastern ports with supernumeraries. The Apollo troop ship, Commander Radcliffe, is or dered to Sheerness, but whether to be paid off or refit for further service is not ordered. The Rochester navy lighter sailed yesterday with stores for Devonport. The Inconstant, 36, Captain Fremantle, was at Bey rout on the 16th ult., expecting to be ordered home im mediately. The liaphne, 18, Captain Onslow, sailed from Valpa raiso on the 29th of August for Rio and England, re ported with freight. The Haz ird, 18, Commander Egerton, sailed from Singapore for Hong-Kong on the 7th of October to meet the Admiral. She is ordered home forthwith. The Lily, 16, Commander Newton, is on her way home (as stated by us some time since) from the coast of Africa. On her arrival two or three courts-martial will be held on the officers on board her in reference to conduct complained of by them as having been practised on board the sloop.

LEEDS, DECEMBER 5. STOCK EXCHANGE.-The improved appearances noted in my last week's circular continued to be well supported until yesterday, when a little slackness was observable, and the market is again not quite so firm this morning. Manchester and Leeds Stock and Midlands are both considerably higher than at the corresponding period of last week. North- Westerns, Great Westerns, and South-Westerns, are also better. Among local stocks, Leeds, Wakefield, and Mid lands, and Mahon and Driffields, are higher and in demand. Dewsburys are firm, but Huddersfield and Manchesters are not so good, as the terms of the agreement between that company and the London and North-Western are not consi dered proportionately equal to those obtained by the Dews burys. The difference in the bargain is chiefly relative to the proposed branches which have to be given up to the North-Western Company by the Huddersfield and Man chester, while the Dewsbury proprietors retain theirs.

G. among the number, have evidently mistaken our remarks upon mining in Spain, in our papers of Nov. 7th and the 28th. On re ference to them it will be found that in favourably noticing the Asturian Mining Company, we referred solely to their Cinnabar mine, La Eugenia, as being likely to handsomely remunerate the shareholders, and as having already ore discovered to the extent of several thousand pounds, upon a trifling outlay of 2,7001. We never went so far as to imagine, much less to express, that the produce of the Cinnabar mine would pay com mon interest upon the capital of the company, as exhi bited in the extraordinary accounts inserted (against the wishes of the directors) in our last week's publication. From those accounts it would seem that from deposits on shares and loans, the capital already raised and ex pended amounts to 74,8881. u s. 6d. Out of this, the sum of 51,7664 Bs. 3d. has been spent upon iron works, which, as yet, have made no returns; and, judging from other mines abroad are, to say the least, of equivocal ♦alue. These works, however, and this expenditure have been the pet concerns of the directors, whilst the Cinnabar mines, the only things of value they have, were (according to their own report) thought unworthy of their notice. Thus the interests of the shareholders on the Company were upon the eve of being wrecked, had we not called atten tion to them in our article of the 7th ultimo. So much for ourselves. In vindication of the part we have taken in discussing the matter, with regard to the future pro gress of the Company, it certainly, if we may judge from the "confessions of the board," requires practical men of business to govern it, and should not be allowed to remain under the sole influence of men who prefer remaining in doubt, to taking the trouble to arrive at truth.

The alterations in progress at Covent-garden Theatre, in anticipation of the new operatic experiment, are upon the most extensive and novel scale, so that if that noble edifice is ever again to be adapted to the purposes of the national drama, it will cost a large sum to restore it to its propriety. It may be remembered by some few of our older play-goers that as the house was first con structed under the orders of Sir R. Smirke, by means of certain recesses and apertures (which obtained the name ot• pigeon•holes), it was capable of holding many more spectators (auditors they could hardly be called) than afterwards ; the area was reduced for the benefit of hearing the actors, but it is now to be enlarged even be yond the original size, so as to afford much more room than was ever before contemplated. For musical pur poses this may not be so objectionable ; and as there is to be a ballet (which we prophesied some months ago, for without it there was not, in our opinion, the remotest chance of success), it signifies comparatively little how far the persons are removed, as long as they can get a sight of the stage. It is the present intention of the lessee of Drury-lane to produce Balfe's new opera, " The Bondsman," on Monday, 14th inst. We have not heard who is the author of the words, but we believe that they will be found to be by the same managerial dramatist, who haz of late years furnished the librettos of most of the new musical productions at this theatre. The pantomime, now in active preparation, has been invented and written by one of the sons of the late Thomas Morton, in his day so successful a dramatist. Young Morton was the author of both the last pantomimes at this house ; and, if we are not mistaken, of one at Covent Garden, while it was in the hands of Madame Vestris, all of which had an extraordinary run. Wallace has composed a new opera, which has been accepted at Drury -lane, and which will follow Balfe's unless the success of the latter should render any other novelty this season unnecessary. We hope that it may be so. The Keeleys have recently renewed their term at the Lyceum at an advanced rent, and a building, which two or three years ago, instead of yielding a profit was a charge to the proprietors, is now let by them at a very remunerating price. This beneficial change has been accomplished by the skill and talents of the present lessees, who this sea son are about to try the, to them, new experiment of a pantomime ; but, as may be imagined, very unlike the common-place performances usually given elsewhere at Christmas. We need scarcely say that Planche is the writer and compounder of the new fairy tale in prep-tration at the Haymarket to gratify the younger (and indeed older) visitors of our theatres at the approaching merry sewon. No man produces this species of exhibition with so much tact, and evinces such nice discrimination in his burlesque between wit and the approaches to vulgarity. The boundary is narrow, and, as most of our authors of this class are aware, is easily overstepped.—Sunday Paper. EXCLUSIVE DEALING AT HONITON.—We regret to have to report a case of exclusive dealing, which shows that a remarkable spirit of bigotry still lingers in this fair county. A Mr. Joseph Lang has lately taken off the grocery business, formerly and for many years con ducted by Mr. Pidgeon. Mr. Lang is a very respectable man, and the quality of his goods is said to be of the highest crder. Among those people in the neighbour hood who used to deal with him, was Mrs. Simcoe, of Wolford Lodge, wide w of the late General Simcoe, and mother of the excellent young ladies whose zeal and talent as stonemasons were recently noticed in the Western Times and have since been duly eulogised by Punch. Mrs. Simcoe dealt with Mr. Lang tome weeks ; but the week before last, she sent her bailiff to him to say "she could not deal with him again, and she the more regretted this because his goods were of such excel lent quality, that she had never been better served in her life, but her conscience would not allow her to support schismatics. This is a very painful instance of mis taken duty. We have no doubt that the gentlewoman, in issuing this cruel mandate, felt that she was doing an act of service to Heaven, and setting a worthy example to the neighbours, who in some measure look up to her, from her position and profession of piety. But if the upper class has learnt so little of the spirit of Christianity as to entertain such views and to be animated by such feelings as are displayed here, we hope that any Govern ment measure of education which shall be proposed, will have a special reference to their benighted and pitiable condition ; as their example may have such a pernicious effect upon the poor, who habitually in this country look up to the rich—but who, we are quite satis fied, are, generally speaking, far beyond the influence of such degrading notions. We shall have to reverse the order of society, and speak of poverty as being the state of the higher orders, if many such instances of ignorance of Christian duties be found among the upper classes.— Western Times. THE WEATHER.—The weather during the past week has been particularly fine and open for the ad vanced period of the year. On Sunday se'nnight a frost set in, which continued up to Saturday evening. During Saturday the frost was not so severe as on the previous days, but the roads round town were rendered most slippery and dangerous by the large quantity . of rhimy frost that had settled on them during Friday night, and which was not dissolved in the shade. At eight o'clock on Saturday morning, the thermometer, which on the previous evening was down to 26 degrees, had risen to 31 degrees, showing only 1 degree of frost; and at twelve o'clock at noon it was up to freezing point (32 de grees); but at six o'clock on Saturday evening it had fallen 2 degrees, with the wind S.S. W. The ice on the ornamental waters in the Regent's and St. James's Parks, as well as on the Serpentine and the Long Water and Round Pond in Kensington Gardens, not being more than an inch thick, is still most dangerous, so that skat ing has not yet commenced. Late on Saturday night a 6thaw took place, with a inizzling rain. APPOINTMENTS. Edward Mourilyan, Master's Assistant, to the Victory Henry L. Kelly, Master's Assistant, to the Victory.

CURATES.—There is a story extant in the diocese of' Exeter that the Bisbop has been working with great anxiety to to introduce t rac tarian curates wherever he could find a n open i ng, it is sa i d that Dr. Barnes, of cy ,frwornishitnhge t ß o is ae o p p oin o t at a h cu e ra c t ld wa n s ot metthibnk o by an f licensing a curate from any other diocese, as there were plenty of excellent men unemployed in his own, and it is said further that he has thrust a tractarian upon Dr. Barnes. Two other beneficed clergymen, one of them an archdeacon —in fact the first three letters of his name are John Moore Stevens, thus runs the rumour —finding that they had power to employ a curate for three months without a lic ence, determined not to be circumvented by their respectable diocesan, to appoint their curates for that period, an d so re-a oint. Th e Bishop then met them in a v ery handsome spirit, and saved them t he trouble of walking straightly by the law, by appoint in g the clergymen desired—neither of the curates in these instances being of the number of the unemployed about whom the Bishop had manifested so much anxiety— from which we learn that the old gentleman is not always consistent with his office.— W Times. ..FITE LIFE AND TIMES OF SIR C HRISTOPHER larroN..—This new work. by Sir N.

DARING ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY AND MURDER AT SOUTH SHIELDS —On Sunday, Mrs. Cabey, who keeps a public house in Union-alley, South Shields, was awoke about six o'clock by hearing a noise down stairs. On going to see what was the matter she saw a man at tempting to get in by the bar window. She immediately screamed, when a fellow who was standing outside pulled out a pistol and deliberately fired at her, wounding her in the shout& r. They then decamped. The neigh bours were alarmed, and on ascertaining her condition, procured the attendance of a surgeon, who, on examin ing the wound, pronounced it to be not of a serious cha racter, but asserted that if she had been struck a little lower down, it would in all probability have proved fatal. As the parties did not get into the house, of course they did not receive the booty. Some fellows who were seen stalking about on the previous evening are suspected. One man is in custody, but as yet nothing positive has transpired.—Sunderland Herald. REPRESENTATION OP EAST WORCESTERSHIRE. DROIT wICH, SATURDAY NIGHT.—The Liberal electors of the county are taking active measures with the view of nominating Mr. Hodgetts Foley, of Prestwood, as Mr. Barneby's successor, and a requisition to Mr. Foley is now in course of signature, and has already received the names of many of the most influential gentlemen of the county. Mr. Foley is a moderate Whig in politics. He is a supporter of the Established Church, and is understood to object to vote by ballot, STATE or TRADE. LEEDS.—Dulness and depression are the characteristic features of the woollen trade of this neighbourhood, and but few goods are changing hands. Less business, in deed, has been done this week than was done last, and there appears to be no good ground that there will be much improvement in the trade before the ensuing year has set in. BRADFORD.—WooI—The business doing in combing wools during the past week has been more extensive, and an increased degree of firmness manifested by the sta plers, owing to the reduced supply in the market, and the growers and country dealers seeking prices which cannot be realised here. Short wool and noils are some what better to sell, the sales of colonial wools now pro gressing in London having commanded higher prices than was anticipated. Yarn—Although the demand for yarn is chiefly confined to the home consumers, still there is no increase in stocks. The price it continues to com mand being so ruinously low, without any hope of alle viation from wool at a reduced price, compels the spinner to abridge the production, which is now done to a con siderable extent, and the only means by which any itn provement in prices can be effected. Pieces—The busi ness doing in dress goods has been limited. The mer chants are all on the inquiry for new styles for the ap proaching season, and the mixture of silk and Alpaca is favourably looked upon, from the elegance the combi nation affords. Heavy goods, such as moreens, are eagerly sought up, and no stacks in the market. HUDDERSFIELD. Rather more sales have been effected this week, and the manufacturers are well em ployed.keep up. Prices both of manufactured goods and wool HALIFAX.—Our staple trade is but slack, but prices remain unaltered. The yarn market continues very flat, with curtailed production; but there is no alteration in prices. A little more long wool has changed hands, which has given more firmness to sellers. There has been rather more inquiry for short wools, and prices are somewhat firmer; but not much business has been done. ROCIIDALE.—The flannel market remains in iti former depressed state, and the severe frost that has set in has not yet had any effect upon the demand for goods. The wool market is still languid, but priceg are firm. ➢ANCRESTER.—The y market remains nearly in the same state as during the last four or five weeks. There is, however, a ;somewhat better demand for good 40- inch shirtings, suitable for the Chinese markets; from whence it is understood more favourable accounts have been received by the last mail. It is understood that all the spinners of Bacup and the neighbourhood are about to commence working short time. Report says that the Oldham spinners are about to resume full time. A STEAMER ON FIRE. PLYMOUTH, DEC. 5.--The Shannon steam packet, Captain Moppett, belonging to the British and Irish Steam Packet Company, left the Thames on Wednesday morning at nine o'clock, with passengers and goods for Southampton, Plymouth, Falmouth, and Dublin. After riding a tide on the Flats, she reached Southampton at six o'clock on Thursday morning, left at noon, and arrived at her moorings in Catwater, Plymouth, at half past two on Saturday morning. Being a very thick, foggy night, the passengers remained in their berths ; but at half-past five were alarmed by the sudden orders of Captain Moppett, who, observing smoke issuing through the cabin floor, rushed on deck, and ordered a!1 hands to lie out and clear the main ho!d. There were upwards of 120 passengers on board, and many of them rushed to the sides of the vessel with such eagerness that two women fell into the water, and were with some difficulty rescued by a seaman passenger named Thirsty, lately paid off at Woolwich from her Majesty's steamer Avon. A foolish report, that there was gunpowder on board, operated so forcibly on the mind of an elderly gentleman named Bennett, that, although very ill, the crew were compelled, by his importunities, to convey him immediately on board the coal hulk alongside. At a quarter past six o'clock her moor ings were cast off; and she was run ashore to the east of Mr. Hill's ship-building yard, Cattedown. About seven o'clock she was scuttled, and about the same time the flames first began to ascend from the hold; but shortly after this the County and West of England engines arrived by land, and the engine belong ing to her Majesty's Customs by water, in a barge, from which most effectual assistance was derived. Very great difficulty was experienced in getting at the fire, from the confined place in which it originated, and, notwithstand ing all efforts, it could not be immediately suppressed. At ten o'clock the flames issued from the circular cabin window aft. About eleven o'clock the dockyard engine arrived, under the orders of Lieutenants J. B. Dixon and H. T. Veitch, with a party of blue jackets from her Ma jesty's ship Queen, and was shortly followed by the en gine from the Plymouth citadel, with a company of the 14th, headed by Colonel Barlow and Adjutant Blunden. The addition of these forces in the course of two or three hours effectually put down the fire. The Mayor, Mr. Bulteel, with Lieutenant Holman, superintendent, and a body of the Plymouth police, were early on the spot, protecting Mr. Clark, the company's agent here. Lieu tenant Cornish and a party of the preventive service men assisted in protecting the loose cargo. Colonel Rudyerd, Royal engineer, Brigade-Major Maxwell, and Lieute nant Protheroe, 14th, were also present. To all these gentlemen very great praise is due, but particular notice deservedly falls on the indefatigable conduct of Mr. T. Shaw, chief officer of the American barque Columbus, lying in Mr. Hill's yard. Mr. Shaw was to be seen in every direction where the skill of a seaman or the efforts of a bold spirit were required, and, by his untiring exertions, rendered valuable assistance to the owners of the Shannon. Among the cabin passengers were Captain Gennyw, R.N., and Lieutenant Nelson, of the 40th Regiment. Very little of the effects, carried into the after-cabins by the passengers, was saved. The fore cabin and deck passengers did not lose any of their luggage. There was a staff-sergeant on board, belong ing to head-quarters at Dublin, one artilleryman, two riflemen, one belonging to the 13th Light Infantry, two of the 27th, four of the 4th, two of the 60th, two of the 61st, four of the 68th, three of the 98th Regiment, and one deserter of the 7th Hussars. The Duke of Cornwall steam packet, Captain Kemp ston, belonging to the same company, will take on the passengers on Monday, the 7th. The Shannon has a list to larboard, and lies with her bow to the northward, on a hard rubble beach, which being rather steep will strain her. She had a valuable lading on board. The Plymouth goods, from London, were in the upper part of the fore hold, and are all saved. Those in the lower part were for Dublin, and are partly damaged by water. The goods from Plymouth (sugar, were not shipped. The Falmouth and Dublin goods were in the main hold, and are, of course, seriously injured. Three casks of spirits, near the main -mast, and other goods, were covered with water before the fire reached them. Some pockets of hops were fished up about twelve o'clock, damaged both by fire and water, and several military chests were rescued in a half calcined state. The cause of the fire cannot be ascertained, but it is sup posed to have originated from the spontaneous combus tion of some material in the cargo in the main hold.

The following appointment has taken place :—The Rev. James Goodwin, 8.D., of Corp us Christi Colle g e, to the rectory of Lambourne, Esse x. Patron, the Col lege. Value, 4761. • A rumour, says the Observer, has been in eireula• lion for the lust few days that Louis Philippe has de manded a congress o f the P owe rs of Europe, with a v i ew to his laying before them the whole of the circumstances Montpensier marriage, and al so t h e pos iti o n in h co nnected with hieth7 in consequence of that marriag e , h e finds himself placed with the other Courts of Europe, and a lly the Court of St. James's. The King of th e French,eseeiP it i s added, repudiates the idea of having acted with bad faith to En g land, o r in any way which would utly the cessation of that friendship which h as so l ong justify between France and this country, and in the perpetuation of which there will be found the best, if not the only, guarantee for the preservation of a Euro pean pease. He expresses himself as both pained and surprised at the circumstance of so grave an accusation as that of pursuing a perfidious course in reference to the Spanish marriages being preferred against him by the Government of Queen Victoria. But, even was the accusation just, he maintains his right to demand a con press, in order that measures may be devised to prevent the possibility of a war in Europe, in consequence of the estrangement of England. He represents the existing state of affairs as very unsatisfactory, and intimates that he deems it his duty, not only to France, but to Europe generally, to lay before a congress of the European Powers the precise position in which matters stand be tween himself and the English Government. ANOTHER TESTIMONIAL TO MR. COBDEN.—We are glad to learn that another testimonial is intended to be presented to our distinguished townsman, Mr. Cobden, in acknowledgment of his eminent services in the cause of free trade. This tribute of respect will emanate from the numerous and respectable body of commercial tra vellers, representing most of the leading mercantile hous:-s in London, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Nottingham, &c. The subscriptions, thiiugh not large, are expected to amount to a sum large enough to purchase a piece of plate worthy of Mr. Cob den's acceptance, and of being hand e d d own as a n heir loom in his fami ly.—Manchester Times. -• - t.. -- "'"W.: --- ".
