-- - GLEANINGS from the AMERICAN PAPERS. (From the Albany Citizen of Saturday.) HORRIBLE BUTCHERY! Utica, Friday Morning, March 13, 1846. We learn this morning, by Mr. Prink, conductor, from Auburn, that the house of Mr. Van Ness, a farmer and supervisor of the town of Fleming, on Owasco Lake, four miles from Auburn, was entered last night, about half past nine o'clock, by some one in the disguise of a negro, and Mr. Van Ness, his wife, and child were stabbed by the villain, and are dead. His mother-in law and hired man were also stabbed, but are still living. No further particulars are known, and no cause assigned for the act. It is reported that Mrs. V. N. ran about sixty rods, when her bowels gashed out, and she fell dead. V., it is said, attempted to go up stairs for his gun, and fell dead; the child, about two years old, was torn open from its shoulder entirely across its abdomen. The hired man succeeded in keeping him off with the broomstick, and saved his own life and that of Mr. V.'s mother-in law, but he is badly wounded. It is said the murderer took the road to Auburn, near which place one of Mr. V. N's. horses was found, bearing evident signs of having been hard ridden. The murderer of the Van Ness family was taken at Fulton, Oswego county, and is in the custody of the Sheriff. We understand that he acknowledges the deed. He was at Syracuse Friday morning. He hitched his horse on the north side of the canal, and was on the steps of .the Syracuse House when the cars came out from Syracuse. He went to Fulton, where he offered to sell his horse to the tavern keeper, V. Low ; this caused a suspicion that the horse was stole n, and soon after he left he was pursued on this suspicion and taken. He bears the marks of the blow received from Van Arsdale. We learn that Mrs. Wykoff and Van Arsdale are still alive (Friday evening). ATTEMPT TO Ku.L.—Manuel Sainz dela Maza, a bar- keeper at the Brilliant Coffee-house, on the corner of Marais and Customhouse streets, was arrested yes terday afternoon for having stabbed with a knife one Edward Ennis, with an attempt to kill him. This affray occurred in the coffee-house above-named on the even ing of the 4th instant. The man was so badly cut that his blood was traced the next morning from the house to Canal-street, across which he has been taken to the Charity Hospital, and where he has been ever since in a critical state, but now out of danger.—N. 0. Delta, Bth instant. MURDER.—We regret to learn that a murder was committed in the neighbourhood of Dukedom, Weekly, county Tenesse, u on Monday la s t. An affray took place between Dr:Wilson and a man named Roberts, in which Roberts wag stabbed with a dirk and killed instantly. Wilson did not attempt to escape, but was under guard awaiting the action of an examining court.—Louisvil le Journal, Monday. The Richmond Compiler mentions the death in Cum berland county (Va) of Syfax B r own,. aged one hundred and fifteen years, four months , and live days. He was for many , years the slave and personal servant of the late John'Randolph, Esq., of Blattaox, father of the late John Randolph, of Ronoake. REMAraLABLE ESCAPE AND PRESENCE OF MIND.— As Mrs. Patterson, of this city, was crossing the rail road bridge, just south of Asylum-street, last Monday morning, the train of cars from Springfield came down and nearly overtook her before she noticed them, when, in attempting to get off the track, at the south end of the bridge, she stumbled and fell, and not having suffi cient time to get upon the outside of the track before the cars overtook her, she had the remarkable presence of mind to arrange fierielf between the rails, with her face and person close to the ground, and also to i untie her bonnet string, when the whole train passed imme diately over her without causing her the least injury— except a horrible fright.—Hartford Saturday. AN ELOPEMENT.—In consequence of fair promises of marriage, a young lady of Cabotville, Mass., (a manu facturing town on the has of the Boston and Albany Railroal), was induced to elope with a young man at that place. They took " French leave," and went straight on to Buffalo as fast as the steam-horse could whirl them there. On their arrival in that city they took rooms at one of the first hotels, ind the young man told the all-unsuspecting girl that he had sent out for minister, who would soon tie theirdestinies together in the " hard knot," of matrimony. Bat then, poor creature, came a bitter disappointment —a destruction of the airy castle hope had built. Under this comforting assu rance, and taking advantage of her confidence in the near approach of the consummation of all her fondest an ticipations and brightest dreams, the faithless villain attempted to accomplish the ruin of the fair girl, whose affections he had won, and who had given convincing proof of her attachment to him, and reliance on his pro mises. But the fellow was baulked in his infamous de sign. The vigorous resistance of the poor girl and her cries for help brought assistance ere her strength failed her. The landlord burst into the room, aad soon received a frank and honest statement of all the circumstances from the girl. His measures were quickly *ten. At his request the weeping girl left the room. Then locking the door, he said to the faithless, heartless fellow :—" Now, you contemptible scoundrel, bring to me all your baggage, and open it." The command was obeyed. " Now," he added, " strip yourself of all your outer garments and hand them to me." `Phis order was also obeyed. He then searched his trunk and pockets,and taking therefrom all the money that he could find, amounting to about sixty dollars, he returned to the fellow his clothes and baggage, and when he had dressed, gave him a hint to leave the house, that he was not slow to take. He then gave the girl all the money, and putting her in the safe charge of a Friend, sent her home to Cabotville. He has since received a letter from her, thanking him heartily, in the name of herself and her parents, for Lis timely aid in rescuing her so effectually from an unmitigated villain. The land lord has his reward. We trust the false-hearted seducer will receive the full punishment his villany merits.— Albany Citizen. AN IMMENSE STICK OF TIMBER.—A twenty-horse team, drawing an immense stick of timber surmounted by the " stars and stripes," attracted general attention in our streets on Thursday. It was owned by William Howell, and is to be sawed into boat timber. It mea sured 423 feet in the butt, and 22-3 feet at the top. It was 63 feet in length, and contained 620 cubic feet. Its total weight was no less than 19i tons—the heaviest stick of timber probably ever drawn to the city. It was drawn ten miles by tike and Ellis, and is chiefly designed for the yard of Messrs. IL, at Buffalo.—Ro chester Democrat. COMMERCIAL HOTELS. TO THE EPlTari OF THE SUN. Sia,—Permit me to suggest, through your columns, to the proprietors of commercial hotels throughout the kingdom, as an addition to the comfort of their best customers, to furnish the commercial room with a small library. Boz, in his description of the commercial room, makes it appear a very uncomfortable, because a non intellectual-looking place. Geoffrey Crayon, in his sketch book, not much better. The occupants have of a verity the best of everything the larder can aff ord , the attendance, too, is faultless, but, behold the corn- . mercial room !—a map of the country, a framed and var nished printed list of the directors of the National and Mercantile Provident Society, decorate the else bare walls, and a bat . ered Directory, is all that is to be seen connected with letters. This is the rule—a rule with very few exceptions. It may be advanced, that people out on business have no time to read books ; this, Sir, as you will readily suppose, would be indeed a great fallacy. Few of us are so constantly engaged through out tie days of summer and winter but there are hours when to devise the best method of killing the time is a consideration. Indeed, I venture to assert, that there is not a sixteenth part of the commercial body who have not sufficient spare time to dip into a volume. Granted, that there is a sixteenth part who cannot command any time, the remaining part possessing it, why should they not have the means of so agreeably and profitably em ploying their leisure ? It may be again advanced, that the resting man may either take a book with him on his journey, or, at all events, supply himself by sending; to some circulating library in the town he may be soj ourning in. It must be, however, self-evident that both thefirst alternatives are attended with great ob jho who would carry sufficient reading fur p l ace, u must fill his portmanteau with voiumt a ; in 3o tb r e ne le every country-town which boasts a circucloanit%it is 'ut; and fewer where books above the standard of the l i b rar y liverva . Press are kept. I write this, Sir, in one of the most popular commercial rooms in this part of the country, allowed universally to be one of the best houses on the r oad, end ) yet, beyond a Directory, there is not a bo,k iti the room, whilst the Times and The Sun of Saturday last, lying on the table, have been spelled over and over again. We shall not receive the 7 ioies until to-night, The Sun to-morrow morning—how desirable a few books or magazines would bet Yesterday was Sunday; 'twas fine, we could get out and walk; but, Sir, all Sundays are not fine, and to be imprisoned within four brick walls all day, with so little to fall back upon as we in our rooms possess, is anything but pleasaut. Besides, if com:nerciul rooms were to be pro vided with books, would it not be a step in the right di rection, in support of our country's literature? I have hastily thrown these remarks together as sug gestions to the proprietors of commercial hotels through out the kingdom; actuated also by a conviction that a library in the commercial room is a great desideratum; and also from the fact of the same opinion being uni versally en tertained by thicommercial men of the pre sent day, who may be jastly called a new generation of reading men.—ln haste you A rs, COMMERCIAL MAN.

GREAT.. SCULLER'S MATCH FOR 2001—The trial of aquatic skill between Robert Newell, of London, and H. Clasper, of Newcastle, is fixed to come off on the 22d of June, on the river Tyne, Newcastle, COMMERCE OF THE CAPE WITH MONTE VIDEO. The following is from the Cape Shipping and Mercan tile Gazette, of the 30th January:— " It has often struck us that our commercial relations might be profitably extended to other parts of South America beside the Brazils, and it is therefore with peculiar satisfaction that we refer to the following notice which appeared in yesterday's Goveinvent Gaulle, in viting a direct trade with the Rio Plata:— "`His Excellency `t`h`eCoGloonviearnl-ooffir,ceh,aJvainng. 2 r B e , c l ei B v -t e 6 d . . a letter, of which th e following is a copy, from her Bri tannic Majesty's Minister Plenipotentiary in the R iver Plate, bas desired it to be published for general in formation. ' 'By his Excellency's command, '" JAMES MONTAGU, Secretary to Government.' " ' Monte Video, 23rd Dec. 1845. " Sin,—lt is highly desirable, especially at this moment, that commercial intercourse should be esta blished between this capital and the Cape of Good Hope. In consequence of the siege, which has lasted three years, and of the blockade by General Rosas for nearly as long a time, and the constant state of warfare in which the Government of Buenos Ayres has kept these states, all agricultural pursuits have been interrupted, and little or no produce can be procured from the interior. We are obliged to draw our supplies from Brazil, the United States, and Europe. The demand for provisions would, therefore, at present secure a profit for the ex portation from the Cape, of salt beef, pork, wheat, potatoes, yam, &c., and, in short, whatever article of food the colony produces, and that will bear the voyage. " All sorts of dried fruits and grain, barley, oats, peas, beans, hay, &c., would well repay the cost of conveyance hither. " `A small quantity of the best wine might find a sale; but salted or dried is always in great demand, as also butter and lard. " If it meet your Excellency's ♦iews to encourage this commerce, I venture to suggest that every facility be afforded3to the master of the William Peile, Mr. Joseph Sprott, and should his vessel require repair, that assistance be afforded, if possible, at the Government wharfs or docks. Probably, the arrival of this vessel at the Cape might induce shipowners to send vessels hither on speculation. They would, also, probably find passengers from hence, on their return to the Cape of Good Hope. " At the present moment, horses might find sale here ; gunpowder, ammunition, and military accoutre ments certainly would. Possibly East ludia produce would also be in request. " ' I take the liberty of recommending to your Ex cellency's protection and good offices this commence ment of a direct commercial intercourse between the Rio Plata and the Cape of Good Hope. It would be highly beneficial to Monte Video at this moment, and I cannot but think might become highly advantageous to the colony.—l have the honour to be, " Sir, your obedient servant, " W. G. OUSELEY. " To Sir Peregrine Maitland,' &c. "We trust that our enterprising merchants will, without loss of time, avail themselves of this oppor tunity to extend the colonial trade in the southern hemisphere by the opening of this new market. We hope, as one of the advantages resulting therefrom, to see generally introduced and domesticated in Southern Africa that valuable animal the alpaca. On these and other benefits likely to result from the new field for commercial intercourse we shall make it a point to en large hereafter. " The William Peile also brought to Port Elizabeth 93 emigrants, who, being principally mechanics, were fast finding employment. " Since the foregoing was in type an advertisement has already been handed to ns for insertion, announcing the schooner Swiftshure as having been chartered for Monte Video. Having most of her cargo engaged, she will be immediately despatched for the Rio Plata." RUSSIAN OPINIONS OF SIR R. PEEL'S FREE-TRADE POLICY. We subjoin the following article, copied from the St. Petersburgh Commercial Gazette, on the subject of Sir R. Peel's measures, and the consequences to be expected therefrom. Coming from such a quarter, it is highly im portant, as an exponent of the fiscal views entertained by thelarge and influential body of merchants and traders which the journal before us professes to represent : " As the measures of finance which Sir Robert Peel has announced in the English Parliament, and which, from his great influence, will no doubt be adopted, even if a few unessential modifications ara introduced, must lay the foundation of a new epoch in the trade of Poland, and generally in the whole commercial world, it may not appear inopportune if we devote, in the first instance, a few preliminary remarks to this system of duties. The assertion which we have already expressed in this journal (some few years since); and which was also transferred from this to others, that no concessions were to be made to England in order to induce her to effect a re duction of duties on corn and other articles of provi sion, as she would be sooner or later compelled to do so for the sake of her own interest, now receives the fullest confirmation. " England feels that she has arrived at a point where, if she does not procure subsistence for her working classes at a far more reasonable rate, it will tecome still more difficult for her to maintain a competition with other countries, and this conviction must necessarily result in the adoption of the new measures of finance. If these, however, are in the highest degree conformable with the designs of England, they cannot, nevertheless, be so un conditionally and generally recommended, as the public journals will have it, to other countries, which find them selves in wholly different circumstances. England, after attaining a commercial eminence which towers far above all other countries, casts away the ladder by which she has climbed to it. Were other nations, which bare not yet attained this Alpine altitude, to throw away their ladders also, they would certainly never reach the same elevation. The most immediate great results of the English measures will be, in the first instance, a favouring of the trade and agriculture of the other countries of the world ; but, on the other hand, a powerful depression of their manufacturing industry. An almost total freedom from taxation of all natural products must infinitely animate trade simultane ously with the culture of the soil from which they spring forth, and secure for them a richer, and consequently a more remunerating return, in the prices of their produce. By means of the more reasonable prices of provisions, the English manufactures of all sorts will become im mensely cheaper, and thence their productions, as well as the population thereby employed will rapidly increase. This, and the simultaneously increasing, and now already unexampled prosperity of the country, must also extra ordinarily enlarge the consumption of ail natural produce. " Wholly different, on the contrary, will be the effect of these financial measures on the manufacturing indus try of foreign countries. If it has been already difficult hitherto for the majority of their different branches to maintain a competition with England, it is certain that the difficulty will become far greater—ay, and for a time impossible—especially in those states which here only recently trodden the path of manufacturing industry in a larger proportion. " Their manufacturing industry will thenceforth stand in the utmost need of every favour which can in any way be afforded it. As a means the following seems here to offer themselves to us:—the utmost possible fa cilitation and extension of their circle of operations, their especial promotion in the locality which presents the most favourable prospect to each individual branch, or has already by experience given proof of its advantages ; more attention to intensive than to extensive encourage ment, and thence also an especial support of those manufacturers who most advantageously distinguish themselves in their craft, and whose factories may be looked upcn as effective model institutions ; great attention to every foreign and really improving manu facturing invention, its introduction and appropriation to the utmost possible extent throughout the land, as also the animation, promotion, and spread of the mechanical and chemical sciences and arts of design, and their or naments, and refining application to the process of ma• nufacture. We shall, perhaps, find an opportunity of entering into further details on this subject. It will now be sufficient merely to point out these means, their ge neral features, and to excite the most serious reflection on the part of all those who are employed in manufac tures, or who are connected in any way with them, upon the precautions to be taken on their side, and the things to be done under the present newly shaped course t of i: e c i e r r e t u a m in st t a h n a c t e they must devote the greatest . the ac mostonot c n i i r n c t u e m circumspect stand n d ct . se an t l o refln still, but edpossibleart industry and if they d ad vance with the most rapid in all directions, in order to appropinquate to foreign ma nufactures in good quality and price, and at length to equal them, in the short es t s p ace o f t i me . If their prices continue too high with regard to foreign countries, and if their premiums on the use of fo reign wares become too tempting, their productions can not eventually be secured by any support, any favour, or any protection whatsoever, against the disadvantage of a greatly extended, and, under such circumstances, not to be suppressed, smuggling trade. 'We may ad vise the agriculturists to take the utmost possible advan tage of the present favourable conjuncture, by the amelioration, so necessary for our country, of the cul tivation of the soil, and its thereby increased produce ; ' for the favourable moment cannot last for ever. The ' temptation will also increase the cultivation of the soil in other lands, and the competition for importation to . England thence arising will soon limit the profits that will accrue in the first instance. " This sure prospect alio makes it advisable for them to refuse, on their side, all foreign goods and ether manufacturing produce, and thus to support the do mestic manufactures to the utmost extent of their power. The increase of the population and the wellbeing of their native country may then insure them, in this very thing, a good custom, and one not so exposed to the disadvantageous conjunctures of the world ; but, above all, it may become highly advantageous, by means , of the inestimable profits of a near and flourishing market for the domestic consumers, and t'.e sale of a host of their smaller, safe, and yet, in a dense population, very profitable product ions. " This is a remark which we cannot too their hearts. M a y the y remember that, as p re ss upon we believe we ha ve alread y often shown, the highe r prices, which must be paid for some time to an advancing • fee which a family gives for the initiation or apprentice inland trade for its own peculiar profit, is just like the in future, other education of their members, whereby, however, not only better position is att ained by them but an advantage assured besides, far exceeding the ex . pence." A few days ago a gentleman in Lincoln entered the matrimonial state a second time, after being a lorn widower for eight weeks. On the happy day, grief for his departed spouse was revived by receiving a Court of Requests sum mons for the cost of her coftn A HINDOO GENTLEMAN ON ENGLISH RAILWAYS. You doubtless have heard and read of railways, though perhaps you cannot form any conception of them. It was on this occasion that I for the first time travelled by one a distance of two hundred miles. But how shall I describe it to you? If I had the words I have not the knowledge; I scarcely know what happened to myself, much less could I take any observations of the mechanism of this wonderful piece of machinery. As soon as I got to the starting place I found myself amongst a crowd of persons of all kinds, talking, hallooing, pushing, and all seeming in the utmost state of confusion and excitement. I thought some serious accident had happened, and whilst I was vainly trying to gain information my lug gage was seized by some men whom I at first imagined to be robbers, but afterwards found to be only porters, and I was forced into a carriage, the door of which was instantly fastened upon me. Before I could remonstrate on this violence the train started off, and I therefore re !wiled myself quietly to my fate. Soon we were rush ing on like the wind in its fury. As I looked out upon the road my head grew dizzy, my eyes dim, my senses were utterly bewildered, and I hid my face in my hands to recover myself. When I again looked up, we were flying onwards at a still greater speed;—the birds in their swiftest flight, the scud in the heavens, the comet shooting amidst boundless space, seemed sluggish in comparison with our furious, headlong travelling. The sun was shining brightly upon a beautiful soft landscape peculiar to this country, my nerves were beginning to get reconciled to the unusual circumstances, and I even felt a sort of pleasurable excitement, a species of mad ness, a reckless desire for greater and still greater speed; when suddenly, as if by magic, we were cast into utter darkness, not a ray of light was perceptible; I felt, how ever, that we were still rushing through the air at the same furious pace as before—whither I knew not, unless into the very bowels of the earth; on, on we sped; minutes, hours, seemed to -pass, and yet no change; I thought I was doomed to be whisked through dark space for ever and ever, when we were again suddenly thrown into the bright light of the sun. In answer to my be wildered inquiries, I was told that we had merely passed through a tunnel or passage of three or four miles in length, cut through a hill, which was too high for the train to surmount; and that, instead of having been hours in the transit, we had been but a few minutes. What a wonderful people are the English! Here was a stupendous work, a combination of science and labour, performed at immense cost—and for 'what purpose? I asked a fellow-passenger who sat near me, whether the road could not have been taken round the foot of the hill, at much less labour and expense. " Certainly it could," he replied, " and for about one-half the money, but then we should have lost full ten minutes on the journey." All this science, this labour, this money, ex pended to save ten minutes in a journey of two hundred miles! Truly, the English are a wonderful people; they have a proverb that time is money, and, certainly, although they are very fond of money, they seem to think quite as much of time. It is a sort of phantom that they are always pursuing; they talk of saving time as if they could lock it up in a strong box, and keep it there for use on some future occasion; want of time is as general a complaint as want of money; and to cheat a person of one is looked upon as great a crime as cheat ing him of the other, as may be seen by the constant complaints in their newspapers against railways and steam-vessels which have been a little longer en their passage than the regulated time. We stopped at various stations to put down and take up passengers; and at one place everybody got out of the carriages in order to eat and drink. There was here quite a rush into a large handsome room, where tables were covered with a profu sion of various kinds of food, which everybody scram bled at, and began to devour as if they were in a starving condition. While I was gazing in wonder at this scene, and just as I was endeavouring to find something that I could myself eat, there was a loud announcement that the train was again ready to start; and, accordingly, out everybody rushed, carrying me along with them. I was obliged to pay the same as the others, although I had eaten nothing; but I could not remonstrate, or the car riages would have gone without me. I understood that not long since fifteen minutes' time was permitted for this meal, but upon many of the passengers complain ing of the loss of time, it was reduced to eight minutes. We soon arrived at our destination, after having per formed the journey at the rate of 35 miles an hour, which I heard a fellow-passenger complain of as being very slow, saying that he had lost twenty minutes, and threatening to write to the newspapers about it. As to myself, I was thankful to arrive safe, as I was in con stant fear, from the excessive speed, that we should be all dashed to pieces. My kind host having sent a carriage to meet me at the end of the railroad, I was soon comfortably at rest in his magnificent mansion.— Union Magazine. BURNT CLAY AS A MANURE FOR HEAVY CLAY LAND. Several accounts of the good effect of burnt clay as a manure have appeared in this journal: having used it with success, I am induced to add my own testimony in its favour, chiefly on account of the very bad quality of the land on which it succeeded. It is a farm of about 500 acres, which I bought about seven years since, on the Oxford clay, of the very stiffest description, never ploughed with 1 !ss than four, sometimes with five (.1- even six horses. The roil was like bird-lime in wet weather, and in dry summers like stone, requiring a pick axe to break it. Many of the fields might be described as being all subsoil, there being no real mould on the surface. The average yield of wheat did not exceed sixteen bushels - an acre, and on some fields the thistles were more numerous than the stalks of wheat. It had the worst possible character, so that even in 1839, when prices were good, many farmers who looked at the farm declined to occupy it, and I had great difficulty in finding a tenant at all. Having bought the farm, however, chiefly because it is the most difficult sort of land to manage (said, indeed, to defy improve ment), in order to try what could be made of it, as Lord Ducie and Mr. Morton have done at Whitfield with so much success, I underdrained the whole, in the first instance at 10 feet apart, but now at 30 feet apart, and 34 inches in depth. In order to make the land work more easily, I procured from Essex some labourers con versant with the mode of burning clay which is there prac tised. Into the details of that process I need not enter, as excellent accounts of it have been given in this journal by Mr. Pym (vol. iii. p. 226, and by Mr. Randell, vol. v. p. 113). I burnt large quantities for the tenant, but until last year no record of the effect had been kept, when, seeing him apply it to a small field of eight acres, I begged him to omit the burnt clay on one corner of the field, that we might know whether it was worth while to burn any more clay. Mr. Cheer did so accordingly. The crop was a very fine one : and after harvest he threshed out about one-Eighth of an acre separately He found the result as follows : One Acre No manure .... . 37, -,trds be - ' clay 45 Wheat bushels. 80 yards burnt clay l „ 80 yards ditto sheep-folded 471 „ It will be remarked that this is not a garden experi ment, but applies to a whole field of wheat, and that the account was given in by the occupier of the land. Now, I have lying before me the valuation at which I bought this identical field, one of the worst on the farm. It is los. an acre for rent, or 14/. for the fee-simple. Thorough draining with thorns, at 10 feet asunder, cost about 31. 10s. It could now be done with pipes for 2/. Dressing with 30 bushels of burnt clay cost about 21. ss. The crop must have been worth this year about 171., or nearly the fee-simple of the land and the cost of the ho provements. It will be observed that on a third lot the land was dressed with sheep-folding, in addition to the burnt clay, but that the in crease of yield was trifling. The manure, in fact, was more than the crop would b?ar, and the wheat was consequently laid by the wet summer. This is a conclusive proof that the burnt clay, in this instance, acted as a manure, and not merely mechani cally. Ido not mean that burnt clay will always act as a manure ; indeed, I know that it sometimes fails to do so, and there is yet much to learn on the subject ; but this case of success being beyond suspicion of accident, I have thought right to detail the circumstances of the trial, as an encouragement to the owners and tenants of the worst and most expensive kind of heavy land, which I believe to be the Oxford clay, where it is not covered with soil of a different quality. This farm at Lorg worth is that on which the trial of the ploughs reserved from Shrewsbury took place last autumn, and Mr. Parkes, in his report on the implements, bears witness to its obltinate nature.—Jo;ireal of Royal Agricultural Society. Communication from Mr. Pusey, M.P. LIMING POTATOES.—As I know that my authority has a protection against the consequences of potato disease, and as I have heard from the Duke of Rutland that his ex periments have not been equally successful, I feel it a duty to society to prevent people from being misled by the general terms in which I have circulated the results of the experi ments conducted here. It is quite true that the lime used here has been invariably successful, but it is the magnesian lime which abounds in this neighbourhood. In its caustic state, it is fatal to vegetation. Barren spots are to be seen in many places on the forest, where lime heaps were placed more than thirty years ago. It is, therefore, easy to account for the effect of this lime in stopping the propagation of this disease. The lime used by the Duke of Rutland I under stand to have been the crich-lime, which is very pure lime, and has no such destructive qualities. It is, therefore, only necessary to state the distinction to account for the difference. Charcoal is quite as effectual as the magnesian lime.—Scott Portland Welbeck, March 18.

Russell, arrived this morning at half-past ten o'clock, from the Peninsular, bringing all the usual mails. Her dates of departure are as follow:—Gibraltar, April Gth; Cadiz, 7th; Lisbon, 10th; Corunna, 13th. Specie, cargo, &c., on board—Six packages of specie, a full cargo of oranges, dates, potatoes, &c. Ships cf war lying at Gibraltar—Her Majesty's brig Fantotne. At Cadiz—Two French war steamers. At Lisbon—The usual Portuguese fleet. At Corunna— War steamer Isabella 11. The Queen steam-ship brings confirmatory intelli gence of the disturbed state of Spain, although up to the moment when she left no actual collision had taken place, and consequently no blood has been shed. The worst, however, is anticipated. A pronuncianziento had been declared at Vigo, on the 10th, by the whole of the officers and soltliers, in favour of Prince Don Enrique. It was generally responded to. The Governor of Vigo and Military Commandant were furnished with passports for Cadiz, and were to leave by the next packet. No blood had been shed. Her Britannic Majesty's Consul had been officially in formed by the Political Chief of Corunna, by order of his Excellency the Captain-General of Galicis, that in consequence of martial law having been pronounced, the British mail steamers would not be allowed to land the mails and passengers at Corunna except during the day time. They would not be allowed either to touch at Vigo. Martill - law had been declared at Corunna. The ao• vernor is determined to fire on the town, in the event of a movement in favour of the young Prince. Other parts of Galicia were in a very distracted state. Nearly all the troops had marched from Corunna to Vigo to suppress the revolt, if possible. LISBON, APRIL 10.—The Bill conferring the Regency upon the King Consort, in the event of the Queen's death during the infancy of the heir apparent, has passed the Chamber of Peers by a very large majority, there having been only 10 dissentient voices. The Duke of Painsella, after arguing against it, voted for it. As the Revolucao remark, his motives must be respected, but they cannot be misunderstood. No other business of any interest is going on in the CorOs at present. The session, however, has been prolonged to the 30th instant, and will probably be still further extended in order to give time for the discussion of the budget, which has yet to commence, as well as of the report of the Commissioners recently appointed to revise the tariff of import duties. The Commissioners, it is expected, will be enabled to lay their report before the Chambers in a fortnight or three weeks. Meanwhile their proceedings to a certain extent are no secret ; and it is already pub licly known that, except as regards some few articles of trifling importation and consumption, the duties are to be raised instead of being lowered, and that on the ground that Sir Robert Peel'sfree-trade measure will — enable England to manufacture cheaper, it behoves Portugal to afford additional protection to her own native industry. I learn from a sure source that it is proposed to raise the duty on calicoes from 60 to 90 reis per pound weight, and on most other cotton goods in the same proportion, and that, the duty on fine woollens is to be raised consider ably ; as for coarse woollens they are completely shut out as it is. The articles the duties on which it is pro posed to reduce are malt liquor, some kinds of hardware, and a few other odds and ends, the total importation of which would not amount to 5,0001. a year, were they even admitted free. It is evidently not to this country that Sir Robert Peel must look for anything like free trade reciprocity. The Portuguese are determined to take whatever advantage they can get, and give as little in return for it as they can; or according to one of their own proverbs, " to eat the bait, and upon the hook." There is a gentleman at present in this city commis missioned by the house of Laffitte, of Paris, to make proposals to this G overnment f or li g h t i ng t h e s t ree t s with gas, and conv e yi ng water i nto th e h ouses by means of pipes. The l at t er oz t h ese i mprovemen t s i s certainly a great desideratum, but the former is, I fear, imprac ticable with any prospect of success, owing to a variety of local circumstances, amongst which are to be reckoned the earthquakes which now and then take place, and the first of which would probably snap all the gaspipes, and cause explosions in every direction. Several highway robberies have recently been com mitted on the road between this city and St. Übes, a town only 24 miles distant. Amongst others an Eng lish gentleman, of the name of Trevelyan, was plundered about six weeks ago. Three of the robbers have since been captured.—Herald. NEW MARKET RACES. (THIS DAY.)

(From the New York Commercial Advertiser.) The horrible affair at Richmond, of which we spoke on Friday and Saturday, has terminated fatally to one of the parties. Air. Pleasants died of his wounds on Friday morning. The Washington correspondent of the Balti more Patriot gives the following account of the combat : The quarrel had gone on in their newspapers to such an extent that Mr. Pleasants thought himself called upon to bring the matter to a crisis. He therefore sent a request to Mr. Ritchie to meet him at a specified place and hour across the river from Richmond, with side arms, Mr. Ritchie sent word back that he could not con sent to settle the affair in that way. Mr. Pleasants then sent him word that the matter must be settled, and in that way. Ititchie then prepared himself with a revolver of six barrels, two duelling pistols, and a horseman's short sword, and repaired to the place designated at the time named. Mr. Pleasants arrived, with two (or four, there is a doubt about this) common pistols and a sword cane. A friend of Mr. Pleasants' approached Mr. Ritchie, and said to him that he thought the difficulty might be settled if the latter would do one thing—acknowledge tlaat he believed Mr. Pleasants to be a brave man. Mr. Ritchie replied that once he could have done this, but now, Mr. Pleasants having called him there, he could not make such an acknowledgment. Soon after this Mr. Pleasant, approached Mr. Ritchie, considerably in advance of the two friends who had ac companied him to the spot. As he approached at a rapid pace Mr. Ritchie fired successively his two duelling pistols, resting each on hi s l e ft a rm, d ra wn up in an angle for that purpose. He then presented his revolver and fired either four or five of its barrels. After he had fired first upon Mr. Pleasants the latter drew and fired thrice without effe c t, all the time rushing up to Mr. Ritchie, and when near e n oug h h e s truck him with his sword cane, when the scabbard flew off, and Mr. Ritchie struck up the blade or spear with his short sword, in doing which he received the point in the cor ner of his mouth, cutting upward a slight gash. Mr. Pleasants then fel, having received five wounds —one ball raked across the back of his left hand, carry ing away all the muscles and tendons leading to the fingers—another passed through the fleshy part of his left arm, half way up from the elbow to the shoulder. Another entered the left breast, and ranged round under the arm. A fourth entered the left groin, and proved &aortal. The fifth wound was to the right thigh—either by a ball or thrust train the abort sword. 'So has ended the earthly career of the gifted, the high-minded, the generous, whole souled John Hampden Pieasants I His loss to the community in which he moved, to the editorial fraternity of which he was ever a sparkling, brilliant member, and to the thousands of his ever-delighted and instructed readers, will be most deeply felt, as his sanguinary exit will be sadly mourned. For many years he has been one of the most vigorous, original, and brilliant political writers in the country. He was a man of strong impulses, and, in the excite ment of the moment, sometimes committed editorial errors, or did his opponents injustice ; but that man lived not who would more readily or amply atone fur indiscretions or injuries of this nature. An extraordinary phenomenon took place on the 13th ult., at Karoly, in Hungary. Mount Mormentzee, about 1,800 feet high, situated at the entrance of the defile of Borsoe, suddenly split in two, and stopped up the course of the river running through the hollow. The whole country above the place where the earth fell was immediately flooded. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CLE RK EN WILL. A mean-looking fellow, who gave his name as George Mortloelt, was charged before Mr. Combe by Miss Sophia Edwards, daughter of Mr. Edwards, coffeehouse-keeper, of Ray-street, Clerkenwell, with disorderly conduct, and attempting to stab her with a knife. Miss Edwards deposed that on Monday evening, about five o'clock, the prisoner entered her father's coffee room, and asked for coffee, eggs, bread, and butter, and a rasher of bacon, which were laid before him. She asked for payment, as a few days previously a gang of seven or eight such fellows consumed 4s. worth of food, and refused to pay for it. She said she must take what he called for away unless he paid the money, and was about doing so, when the prisoner seized a knife, started up, and using violent language, swore he would stab her to the heart if she dared to remove it ; and he made a stab at her with the knife, but she retreated and avoided it. He made a second thrust at her, and she screamed for assistance. her brother, ten years of age, w as i n the shop, and the pris)ner threatened to stab him with the knife. Her father came to her assistance, when the prisoner threatened violence towards him also. The police were called, and he was given into custody. In answer to questions, witness said she felt assured that had she not moved aside when the prisoner made the thrust at her, the knife would have wounded her. It was a deliberate thrust at her person. Several other fellows were noticed in the shop at the time laughing. She knew them to be the persons who refused to pay for what they had a few days before. M'Ray, 112 G, said the prisoner was charged with felony a few says ago at this Court. He was connected with a set of fellows who were in the habit of going into coffee-houses, and eating and drinking at the landlord's expense, and refusing to pay. Several of them had lately been sent to prison. Master Edwards corroborated his sister's evidence, as did also Mr. Edwards, the father. The prisoner, in his defence, said he laid down a shilling, which Miss Edwards took up. He denied the .charge of attempting to stab her. Miss Edwards positively denied that he had laid down a shilling. M'Ray said no money was found on the prisoner on being searched. Mr. COMBE fined the prisoner 403., or one month's imprisonment in the House of Correction.—He could not pay the money, and was conveyed to prison. ASSAULT ON SHERIFFS' OFFICERS.--TWO sheriffs' officers, named Johnson and Copeland, were charged with attempting to force in the door of Mr. Luke, a surgeon, residing at 1, St. John's-street, and with creating a mob there, John Haden, another sheriff's' officer, living at 4, Saville-lane, City, was charged with threatening to murder Mr. Luke ; and there was a cross charge in which Mr. Luke was charged with threatening to murder the sheriffs' officers, also with throwing vitriol on them. The Court was crowded, arid the transaction caused the greatest excitement in the neighbourhood. Mr. Hare, who appeared for the Sheriff of Middle sex, stated that an execution was put into Mr. Luke's house on Thursday last, at the suit of a Mr. Lindus for 311. 3s. Id. Mr. Luke deposed that Haden, the &h.:Tiff,' officer, who held the warrant, went out of his own free will on Friday. Witness had received a bill of sale, which he considered as a sufficient ind e mnity to warrant him in refusing admission to any other officer. Haden bad at tempted to get in subsequently, but v‘ as not allowed ad mission; and on the following evening, at five o'clock, Johnson and Copeland came to his house, and com menced beating at the door, which witness refusing to open, they threatened they would smash his brains out. An immense mob collected, and he gave them into custody„ Mr. Hare said the bill of sale was not a bona-fide one. fhe fact was, Mr. Luke had ]rapt Mr. Lindus out of the debt for six years, so that the statute of limitations had nearly come in. An action was taken, and it was only on Wednesday last (the Sth) the verdict was had. The officers, in attempting to gain admission, had been treated in the most ferocious manner—beaten with pokers, and vitriol thrown upon them. Haden had been cajoled to leave the house by Mr. Luke. Mr. COMM said ho must bind the men ever in good sureties to keep the peace. Mr. Hare said, he feared that would paralyse the course of the sheriff. How was he to enter? _ vv Mr. CODIBE said, if the entrance was legal the recog nisanccs would not be effected. Mr. Luke—Then they can break open my door? Mr. COMBE—I do not sit here to answer such ques tions. Mr. Luke—Because I wish to inform them that any man who does so I will put a bullet in him. Mr. COMBE—You will put a bullet in him? Mr. Luke—Yes, my house is my castle. Mr. COMBE —Then, sir, I must teach you that such conduct will not be tolerated. You must find bail. If the sheriff: officer does anything wrong, the sheriff; the highest officer in the county, is amenable for it. Mr. Luke—l'll try it, at any rate. Mr. COMBE—You are under a delusion. Mr. Luke was then obliged to find two sureties in 50/. each to keep the peace. The case against Haden was then heard, and much conflicting evidence tendered. The matter ended in Haden being bound in his own recognisanccs. Mr. Hare said he would indict Mr. Luke for vitriol throwing. . _ Haden's case against Mr. Luke was then hear 3. The complainant swore that he had been cajoled to leave the house by Mr. Luke, and when he threatened to force an entrance, Mr. Luke swore he would shoot him, and aimed a blow at him. One or Mr. Luke's party struck him so violently across the leg, when at tempting to cross the yard wall, that there was still a deep and extensive wound there; one of the party cried out, " Shoot him!" and he was obliged to retreat. The recognisances Mr. Luke had already entered into —two sureties in 501. each, and himself in 1001.—were deemed sufficient. Ditto New .. .. .. Bristol and Gloucester .. Buckinghamshire .. ..

Mr. KINDERSLEY presented a petition on the part of Mr. Smith, praying for the payment of certain sums of, money in Court to the credit of this cause. This case, which occupied the remainder of the day, has been before the Court at least a hundred times, and had reference to the taxation of a bill of costs. The facts of the case have already appeared at such consider able length in The Sun as to render unnecessary any detail of its peculiar features. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) THE QUEEN V. PELHAM. The defendant in this case, Mrs. Harriet Eleanor Pel ham, was convicted some time back, before Mr. Justice Williams, upon the second and third counts of an indict ment, which charged her with cruel and wilful neglect, and close confinement of her illegitimate son, Brent Spencer. The , ease again part-heard yesterday must still be fresh in the recollection of the public from the disgusting and filthy state in which the young man was found, and from its many other strange and peculiar features. The prosecution, it will be recollected, was instituted by the parish officers of Chelsea, who discovered that the defendant had her son confined in her own house in the manner laid in the indictment and obtained a magistrate's warrant at Queen -square Police -court to make search into the matter. The officers of police thus authorised entered the defendant's house, where they found defen dant, and another son of hers , who were indignant at the officers entering the house, and questioned their au thority. On entering the room where Brent Spencer was confined, they (the officers) were disgusted with the state in which they found the young man, repre• sented by his mother and brother to be a lunatic. He was stretched upon a litter of the most filthy descrip tion. He sat up and stared wildly at them when they entered, his whole appearance indicating that of a ne glected idiot. His mouth and chin were thickly covered with beard. The bed-covering was thick with vermin, and the naattrass on which he lay, when taken up by the officers, fell to pieces, being thoroughly rotten from soil, &c. The room in which this scene of misery was exhi bited, and which was most offensive in smell, was almost dark, the window, which was secured on the outside witli iron bars, being so thickly covered with dirt, as to greatly exclude the light. The fluor of the room was also covered with a caked layer of dirt, defying the officers to tell what it (the floor) was composed of. In this melancholy state the young man had !Dam confine 4 for a spare of ten years. There was a night-chair in., the room, but it did not appear that lie at all made use of it. The officers removed him to the workhouse, where the necessary care was taken of him. The testimony of the medical officer of the work house was somewhat in favour of the defendant, the young man, Brent Spencer, appearing to him to be in good health and plump in flesh ; and it further appeared that he did not, after the first night, use the night chair placed in the ward for his accommodatite: exc. llnaiatlel7 as ward, however, however, he Has occasionally Beard stroked his beard, " What a shame that a young man, such as I am, should be kept in confinement as I have been." He um understood to be the illegitimate son of tie late General Spencer, and to be indirectly connected with a noble family. Since the conviction of defendant, Mr. Edwin James (with whom was Mr. Phinn), obtained a rule nisi, for arrest of judgment, and for a new trial. In support of the application for arresting judgment, it was contended that the second count of the indictment was bad, be ethatoisueghitidtiadlineogtedaittlehhgeeedliaunwt3t,e,wrms any duty which obliged injury r. the defendant to take care of her grown up illegitimate son f after he had reached the age of 21 years; nor any acts from which i o t u d l d not infer ot a l t l h e e g existence ettriy spe c of al any such duty; and the third count was bad, because, the rule, and in s Q uP e pO'rt y was also no proof that there had been an imprisonment a w s A t T h s e o r N e , sult of the neglect of that duty.

In the course of the Learned Gentle not c4pable of taking man's argurnent, it appeared that the defendant received 491. per quarter, payable through Coutts's Bank, for the e o s f te h rd is ay ar s g h u o m w e r care and maintenance of the lunatic—a noble family di paymept. The Learn: d Gentleman urged that it; during the imprisonment, the lunatic (alto was by !he exorcise of neglect of the duties which the law imposed, such as not feeding him, or other indirect care of hirnselr), had lost his life in jury, the case would be one of manslaughter against the defendant, who had undertaken the proper care of him. He considered the decision of the jury good ; and, therefore, hopel the verdict would not be disturbed. Mr. PUINN was yesterday part heard in support of the rale for arrest of judgment, and for a new trial, and this morning resumed and concluded his arguments. He was followed by Mr. James ; after which their Lordship s l oo k e d into the indictment, and conferred t 3gether for t ow: time. The CHIEF JUSTIC E then said it was better to take time to consider the matter. Their Lordships' decision was consequently deferred. WESTMINSTER. MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—James Linch, a determined looking Irishman, was charged with the following mur derous assault : Mary Drew, a mechanic's wife, was passing over the wooden -bridge at Chelsea, late on the urevious night, when hearing two men who were standing outside the King's Head, using threatening language of a very alarming character towards some person who appeared to be inside, she determined to watch the result. Shortly afterwards the men walked away down St. Geores place but in a few minutes they returned, accompanied by the prisoner and another man, and stationed them selves by the side of the public •house door. Almost im mediately after this a man named Edward Wright left the house, when the prisoner advanced towards him with a pair of toegs which she had observed him previously concealing under the tails of his coat, and struck him repeatedly on the head with them, when both the pri soner and the object of his attack fell on the ground. The prisoner made a desperate attempt to escape, but the in jured man, although bleeding so profusely that his smock frock and other clothing were literally saturated with blood, grasped him tightly by the leg until a policeman came up, when he was taken to the station. The wounded man was carried to the hospital, where he remains in a precarious state, suffering from two scalp wounds. The constable visited him yesterday morning, when he was informed by the surgeon that it would be difficult to say until Friday what might be the result of the injuries re ceived. Vv The prisoner, in a sullen tone, said be never touched the man. A pair of fire-tongs, which the accused had thrown down on seeing the policeman approach were produced, and were much bent and partially cracked. Mr. BOND remanded the prisoner until Monday. WORSHIP-STREET. Mr. John Caswell, a grocer and teadealer in Shore ditch, was charged before Mr. Broughton, with violently assaulting policeman Pollard, 214 G. The occurrence took place a week ago, but the defen dant, although taken into custody at the time, could not then be brought before the magistrate, on account of the serious injury he had himself sustained, and a medical certificate was produced, stating that his jaw was frac tured. Mr. Child, the solicitor, now attended for the defen dant. The hearing of the case occupied several hours, but the facts may be briefly stated:— Pollard, the policeman, deposed that about half-past one in the morning, he was endeavouring to clear his beat in Skoreditch of some prostitutes and other disor derlies, when the defendant, who was drunk, came up to prevent his doing so, calling him vagabond and other ill names, and so molested him that he took the defen dant himself into custody. Policeman 49 G coming up, the deiendant said, " You know me, take me away from this vagabond." 49 G replied, that he did not know him, and must assist in taking him to the station as he was in custody, and that he had better go quietly. These and another constable then proceeded towards the station-house, and they all said that ho was drunk and very violent ; but on the way he suddenly stooped, and, thrusting his head between Pollard's legs, threw him over, and the constable falling heavily upon his fore head on the stones, was completely stunned and uncon scious of what followed, but the other constables said, that while he lay in that state the defendant seized him by the collar with one hand, and with the other beat him about the head and face. With great difficulty he was dragged off the prostrate constable, and, after a most violent struggle, was conveyed to the station, co vered with blood and filth, and was subsequently found to have been injured in the jaw. He and his friends at tributed that injury to a blow from a policeman's trun cheon, but the constables all denied it, and alleged that he must have received it in a fall. On the part of the defendant, Mr. Robinson, a car penter ; Mr. Hopwood, a clerk at the London-docks ; and two theatrical performers, in whose company he had been drinking gin -and-water at the George public house, in Shoreditch, were called, and they all stated that, on his leaving that house, after one o'clock, he appeared to be quite sober, and it was alleged that he was merely waiting to get to his private door in a court, where the constable was ordering a prostitute away, when he was himself laid hold of by the police. T ior M t a o th t e h r e , sent M w ith blood and slush.

The defendant paid the penalty. TIIAMES. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIACE.—On Wednes day, John Anderson, a tall, well dressed Scotchman, a ballast agent in Wapping, appeared before Mr. Broderip to answer a charge preferred by a little woman named Ann Gardner, who carried a child six weeks old in her arms, and swore he was the father of it. Anderson—l deny it all—l don't know her. The complainant was then compelled to enter into par ticulars. She was living as servant in the family of Mr. Duncan, a Scotch provision merchant, in Wapping, when the defendant wooed her and promised her marriage. She yielded to his wishes, and the fruits of the intercourse was the child, to which she gave birth six weeks ago. Mr. BRODERIP asked if there was any corroborative evidence, and the girl said her late master had been in attendance several hours fur the purpose of giving evi dence of the defendant's courtship and promises, but had been compelled to leave upon business. Mr. BRODERIP said he must either dismiss the case, or postpone it fur another wed:, for the attendance of Mr. Duncan. Inspector Hambrook, of the Thames Police, said he could give corroborative evidence. About four months ago he saw the parties drinking ,togethvr in a public house in wa r ping. The woman told the defendant she was pregnant, and he said he.would allow one shilling per week, and pay all the expenses of her confinement. The.defendant also said he would have it down in black and white, and sent for a sheet of paper to draw up an agreement. The defendant here gravely said, he must deny it all. The complainant mentions d the various places she was in the habit 'of meeting the defendant; who, although pretending to be a religious man, was in the constant practice of taking her to a brothel in Rateliff-highway, and it was a long time before she discovered the rea character of the house. After he had seduced her he married another woman. The defendant—l must deny it all.—(Laughter.) Mr. Pelham, jun., said he could throw some light on this case. His father had been concerned for the young woman, who charged Anderson with assaulting her, and subsequently she was accused by him with annoying him in the street. and going to his place of business. Mr. Pelham, jun., then produced three letters in the de fendant's handwriting,•which he had written at various times and given to the female he had seduced. They were to the following effect : " London, 14th, 1845.—1 promise to Kink Ann Gardner, as soon as posable for mee to do, which I have not mentioned the time at present, but as soon as I can. Witness my hand—J. Anderson." "London, 16th, 1845.—This is to certify, that I, John Anderson, am to mary the Ann within two years, or sooner if posable, perhapps in six months, or perhapps when I return. Vs itness my hand the sixteenth day of July, 1845. lam yours truly and affectioned lover, John Anderson thy Jo."—(Loud laughter.) "I, John Anderson, promise to married you, Ann Gardner, as is posable for me to do." Mr. BRODERIP asked the defendant if he denied the letters ? The defendant--Yes, they are not mine. Mr. BRODERIP—You deny everything, what will you deny next? I order you to pay 2s. 64. for the support of the child, and the expenses. Mr. Symons, the chief clerk, will take charge of the letters. THE ROBB RY ON BOARD HER MAJESTY'S SHIP TRAFALGAii- At the Guildhall, Rochester, on Sattirday, William Dennis and William French, privates belonging to the Chatham division of Royal Marines, who had been re manded on a previous occasion, on a charge of stealing a gold watch and gol 1 brequet chain, the property of Lieutenant L. C. H. Tonge, of the flag-ship Trafalgar, were brought up for final examination. The robbery was effected in September last, at which time the Trafalgar was lying at Plymouth. In November she came round to Sheerness, and the prisoners then avail ing themselves of the opportunity aflbrded by, 48 hours' leave of absence, disposed of the chain to a pawn broker, at Chatham, for ss. The watch was afterwards sold by the prisoners to Mr. J. Spasshatt, watchmaker, at Dartford, for 305., and he again parted with it to a Jew, named Marks, living in Houndsditch. The pri soners having exceeded their time of have, were appre hended as deserters at Chatham, where they were after wards taken into custody by Serjeant Kendtll, of the metropolitan police, on suspicion of being concerned in the robbery, and that officer had since learned that the watch-case had been melted, and the works sold to an other Jew living in Brick. lane, Spitaldelds, of whom he had since received them, and on producing which in Court, Lieutenant Tonge identified them as being the works of his watch. He said the prisoners, who had given different names to those in which they entered the service, had been implicated in ten or twelve other robberies on board the Trafalgar. The prisoners were identified by Mr. Stigant, of Chat ham, the pawnbroker to whom they sold the chain; by Mr. Spasshatt, a watchmaker at Dartford, who purchased the watch; and by a young man named Tile, who saw them dispose of the watch, and with whom they were afterwards in company, at the Crown and Anchor pub lic-house, at Dartford. Both prisoners were committed for trial at the next Quarter Sessions for Rochester, Lieutenant Tonge ex pressing his readiness to be bound over to prosecute, saying he must obtain leave of absence, as the Trafalgar would then, in all probability, have left Sheerness.

HULL, APRIL 15 STocK EXCHANGE.—Last evening - a mecUrg of shareholders In the East Coast Railway took place in the room of th e Stock Exchange. The local solicitor of the line was in attendance, and readily fur nished all information in his power. He stated that tlom the esti mated traffic returns, the line, when completed, would pay ten per cent. ; that every one of the provisional committee had taken 100 shares each, aud, with the exception of one gentleman who had sold fifty, they all held the shares taken by them. The line, as originally brought before the public, was intended to commence at the terminus of the Lynn and Dereham at Lynn, and form a complete coast line to Grimsby ; but the scheme of the East Lincolnshire meeting with greater support from the landed interest, and taking the same route, the committee abandoned that part of the line from Boston to Grimsby, retaining the remainder from Lynn to Boston, being, with branches, about forty-five miles. It appeared, however, that not withstanding this abandonment enabled the promoters to reduce the amount of shares from 22,000 to 10,000 of 50/. each, there were not more than 8,000 to 9,000 taken up. The project appeared not divested of merit, as shortening, in connexion with other projected lines, the distance from the manufacturing districts of Lancashire and to Lon don. It was stated by the solicitor, that should they succeed in the Commons, a further call of 5 per cent. would be necessary to enable the Bill to go through the House of Lords. This appeared to finally decide the meeting as to the course to be adoped ; and a petition to the House of Commons, praying the dissolution of the East Coast Railway Company, was unanimously agreed to. It was understood that the promoters would willingly accede to the wishes of the ma jority of shareholders. There has not been so much business passing to-day.
