LAW INTELLIGENCE. BOLL'S COURT, March 14. GRAY V. THE LIVERPOOL RAILWAY. An injunction was obtained in this cause to restrain the Liverpool, Wigan, and Bolton Ra'lway Gtmpany from constructing their railway over the plaintiff's land at Darcey Lever. At the time the railway Bill was passed, the Messrs. Darcey, who arc owners of I..i.rge cot ton mills and goits on water-courses, near Liverpool, opposed the railway company, and obt tined the.. insertion of certain clauses in the Act, the effect of which were that the railway should not pass over the land of the plaintiffs, ncr in manner to obstruct their works, with out first obtaining their c nasent, under a very heavy penalty. The defendants, however, in the face of these clauses, had taken possession of part of the plaintiff's lind and intended to commence forming their line His LORDSHIP granted the injuction. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, March 1.1. ItE GRAHAM, AD tMS. AND CO. This case came before the Gaut fur the audit of I accounts, as a preliminary proceeding to the declaration of a dividend. A gentleman (Mr.Mackillop) frern the office of Mr. Follett, the ()filial assignee, exhibited the accounts to the Learned Commissioner. It will be remembered that the parties were warehoueemen at the corner of Old Change, in Cheapside. Graham had, it appeared in consequence of railway speculations, committed suicide. Adams hid surrendered, and had passed his examination, and Macfarlane, the other partner, had not surrendered to the fiat. The credit accounts showed a favourable apre' ranee. The debts of the estate were about 44,0001. ; there was a c onsiderable stock given up, and book debts owing to the concern of about 11,000/. There had already been realised fur the creditors the sum of 16,0001., now in the hands of the official assignee, for the payment of a dividend, of which sum 8,0001. had been colleeted from debtors in the country - , numbering some hundreds, on applications made by the official assignee. There was besides a quantity of railway " scrip," on which about 7001. had been paid, which it was expected would be made avail able for a second dividend. The audit was made, and a dividend of 7s. in the pound will be payable in a few days. A further divi dend is expected out of the railway scrip and other property. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—TVorcester, March 12. CROWN COURT. James Baylis, George Lee, John Willis, and Henry Willis, were together indicted fur a burglary on the Bth of Novem ber last, at Eldersfield, when nine cheeses and a quantity of eggs, meat, and bread were stolen. The facts of the case seemed sufficiently conclusive as to the guilt of the accused, but, strange to say, the jury, after a few minutes, returned a verdict of Not guilty. Mr.Huddlestone appeared for the prosecution ; the prisoners were defended by Mr. Beaden and Mr. Cooke. (Before the Lortn CHIEF BARON.) George Hill was indicted for stealing a gelding, one cart, and a set of harness, the property of William Hill. Mr. Huddlestone conducted the case for the prosecution, and Mr. Selfe defended the prisoner. It appeared by the evidence for the prosecution, that there had leri some negotiation between a person of the name of Southwell, and the prosecutor, for the purchase of this horse, but as they did not agree about price the treaty was broken GI: A short time afterwards the prisoner, who was a ser vant of the prosecutor, drove the prosecutor's son to Stam ford, and returned with the horse and cart safe, having re ceived instructions from the prosecutor's son to return to Stamford the following day, for the purpose of bringing him home. Accordingly, the prisoner oa the following morning left the house of the prosecutor at an early hour with the horse and cart, but instead of proceeding to Stamf,rd, as directed, he took the horse to Bridgenorth, having previously left the cart at a half-way house. At L'riddenorth he die posed of the horse to Mr. Southwell, who had been in treaty for hint before, and appropriated the money to his own use. Mr. SE LUE addressed the jury for the prisoner, contending that if, when the prisoner left home in obedience to the di rections of the prosecutor's son, he had no intention of steal ing the. horse, whatever subsequent dishonesty he might have been guilty of, he could not be convicted on the pre.tent in dictment. The LORD CHIEF BARON having summed up, The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. There was another indictment of a like nature against the pris9ner.—Sentence deferrel. Wcrcester, March 13. CROWN COURT.—(Before the Loan CHIEF BARON.) EnoPa Crattinorr, aged 29, was charged with having, on the 19th of February last, at Alvechurch, concealed the birth of her female child. Mr. Huddle.stone conducted the prosecution: The prisoner, who was defended by Mr. Beadon, was a dress-maker, and the body of the child was discovered in a state of putrefaction by Ler mistress, under the bed, wrapped in a piece of black cloth and an old petticoat. The Learned JUDGE being of opinion that this fact did not constitute a concealment within the meaning of the Act stopped the case, and the jury, under his direction, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. Dania Will s, aged 2a, a man of remarkably muscular frame and ruiiianly appearance, was placed at the bar, charged with highway robbery, at Chaddesley Corbett, in this county. The prosecutor, an infirm old labourer, had met the pri soner at a public-house, where he paid for his beer ; and, in return for his hospitality, was the same night waylaid by him, thrown down, and robbed of his purse, containing two half-crowns and a sixpence. The prisoner nearly strangled him, and knelt upon his chest till the blood guilied from his ears ; after which, leaving Lim in an in sensible state, he made off, taking also a stick and tobacco box belonging to the man who but an hour before had en tertained him. These facts having been proved by the counsel for the Crown (Mr. Whitmore), his Lordship summed up, and the jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoner, who had been previously convicted, and against whom there were two other indictments, was sen tenced to ten years,' transportation. HOME ClRCUlT.—Maidstone, March 12. CIVIL SlDE—(Before Lord Chief Justice DENMAN and a Special Jury.) THE QUEEN V. WATEDTS AND OTHERS. - - This was a proceeding arising out of the dispute between the proprietors of the Greenwich stone pier and the water men who have established the opposition floating pier at that place. The defendants were indicted for a nuisance, in having erected a pier or jetty in the river Thames, and by that means prevented its free navigation by the public. Mr. Sergeant Channel], Mr. Sergeant C. Jones, Mr. Words worth, and Mr. Baddeley, conducted the case for the Crown ; and Mr. Sergeant Shee, with Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Peacock, appeared for the defendants. The case occupied the Court for several hours, and was not concluded until late in the evening; but as the circumstances have so frequently been laid before the public, it will be un necessary to go into a detail of the evidence that was adduced an the present occasion. The defendants named in the re cord were a portion of the owners of the watermen's or float ing pier, and the prosecution was instituted by Mr. Sutton and Sir Richard Dobson, two of the principal proprietors or director:; of the stone pier. It was alleged that the floating erection abutting in front of the river, near Garden-stairs, and close to the stone pier at Greenwich, and which was used as a pier by the watermen's steam •boats, was a hindrance to the free navigation of the river, and prevented, particularly, any access being had by wherries to Garden-stairs. In support of this view of the case a number of witnesses were called, all of whom expressed their opinion that the pier in question was an obstruction to the river, and hindered the navigation. It appeared pretty clear, however, that besides the alleged inconvenience to the public, there was a very strong feeling on the part of the proprietors of the stone pier that the rival pier deprived them of a considerable portion of the pier dues which they would otherwise receive if it were done away with. Mr. Sergeant Singe, on behalf of the defendants, made a very able address to the jury, and urged with considerable force that the objact of the present indictment was not to abate a nuisance, but that, in point of fact, it was merely a struggle by the proprietors of the stone pier to get rid of their rival, and thus ilcreaie their own profits. The watermen had, by the change that had taken place in the trailic upon the river, and tht introduction of stvatn boats, been deprived of their original means of livelihood, and they had been compelled ia consequence to resort to the ,:sta blishMent of this pier, for landing upon which certain dues were demanded, upon which alone they depended for sub sistence ; but so far from this being any nu:sauce or incon venience to the public, he said he should show, by the evi dence of a number of witnesses, that it was the greatest pos sible accommodation. A number of witnesses were then called, many of whom expressed their opinion that the pier was no obstruction to the navigation of the river, and they considered it a very great accommodation to be able to land from steam-boats at the pier at Garden-stairs. Upon cross- examination, however, it was admitted that before the establishment of the floating pier, persons were enabled to land from wherries at the Garden-stairs, that barges and other craft could get to the adjoining houses and unload their cargoes, if required, which they were now pre vented from doing. One of the witnesses, who had formerly bees a waterman, but who was now one of the proprietors of the floating pier, also stated that they received three far things from each person who landed at their pier, that their receipts during the year amounted to between twelve and fifteen hundred pounds, but the whole amount lard hitherto been expended in litigati on . _ Sergeant CLAN NELL , i n re pl y i ng to the evidence ad duced on behalf of the defendants, urged upon the jury that they had nothing whatever odovitli - the question whether or not this pier was to a certain extent an accommodation . to the putlic, but whether in . o of fact it impeded the na vigation of the river; and this, . - is, according to his view of the law, was the only point they had to decide. The LonD CHIEF JUST ICE then addressed the jury, and having intimated it to be his opi n i on that therehad been no legal defence made out by the defendants, under his Lord ship's direction they returned a verdict for the Crown. Maidstone, March 13. In consequence of the pressure of the criminal business Mr. Sergeant Dowling , both yesterday and to-day, assisted in disposing of the prisoners, and in consequence of the valuable aid thus afforded by the Learned Sergeant, the busi ness on the Crown side was concluded to-day; and Mr. Baron Alderson then proceeded to try civil cases. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON and a Common Jury.) GROOMBRIDGE V. GORHAM. This was an action brought by Elizabeth Groombridge to recover compensation for the loss of her daughter Harriet, by reason of her seduction by the defendant. Mr. Sergeant Channel! and Mr. Bovell were for the plain tiff ; air. Russel! Gurney and Mr. Locke for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant CHANNELL, in opening the case to the jury, said that the plaintiff was a widow, and since the death of her husband she bad carried on a respectable business as a baker at Avlestisrd in this county. She had brought up a large family respectably, and Harriet, the unfortunate object of the pria=ent inquiry, was her vounest daughter, and at the periA of the transaction was about twenty-six years of age. The defendant had previously occupied a cottage belonging to the plaintiff, and he subsequently set up in business as a butcher in e shop opposite to the plaintiff's, and they dealt together, and were on terms of some intimacy, and the result was, that the plaintiff's daughter was seduced by the de fendant. There was not the aggravation in this case, that the seduction took place under a promise of marriage, but still there was no doubt that a grievous injury had been in flicted by the defendant, and it would be for the jury to say what damages he ought to pay for his misconduct. Harriet Groombridge, a good looking young woman, was then called as a witness. She deposed that the plaintiff was her mother. Th ere were e l even of t h em i n the family, and she was the youngest daughter, and was now 26 years old. H er father died thi rteen years ago, and since then her mother had carried on the business, and she assisted her in it. The defendant, Ambrose Gorham, was a butcher, and lived oppo site to her mother, and they were in the habit of dealing with each other, Iu the autumn of 18t4 she went to the shop of the defendant for some meat, and he laid hold of her and forced her into the parlour, and then committed the act imputed to him. In the December following she found that she was in the family way, and on her informing the defen dant of the fact, he at first said he knew nothing about it, but afterwards sent her a letter (produced), in which he ad vised her to go away from Aylesford for two or three weeks before she was brought to bed, and he would pay the expense. In consequence of this she engaged a lodging at Maidstone, where she was delivered of a child in June last. The de fendant subsequently sent her, at different times, 51. 10s. Cross-examined—The defendant had never paid any atten tion to her, and she had not spoken to him more than three or four times when this happened. It was between eight end nine o'clock in the evening when she went into the defen dant's shop. and he laid hold of her directly, and forced her into the parlour, and acte d in the wa y described. She did not go to the shop again for a fortnight, and the same thing then happened again. Thomas Groombridge, the brother of the last witness, proved that upon his being informed of what had happened, he went to the defendant, who told him he was very sorry for what had happened, as it made it " so very unpleasant" for both parties. A letter from the defendant, in which he offered to pay half- a-crown for the support of the child, at the same time stating that many people only paid two shillings under simi lar circumstances, was then put in and read; and this closed the case for the plaintiff. Mr. RUSSELL GURNEY, in addressing the jury far the de fendant, characterised the action as a most trumpery and unnecessary one, observing that if there had been any seduction in the matter, it was very probable that the de fendant himself was the party seduced. As, however, the present course had been adopted, be could not deny that the defendant had rendered himself liable, and the verdict must pass against him, but he trusted that under the circum stances the jury would feel that the smallest possible damages would amply meet the justice of the case. Mr. Baron ALDERSON having summed up, the jury after a short deliberation returned a verdict for the plaintift:— Damages, 301. 4 TIIE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, _, MARCH 1641846 t NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, March 12. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) Jacob Gregg, aged 29, who was said to be a Swede, and in the sea-service, was charged with stabbing, cutting, and wounding Thomas Rodgers, at Hull, on the ith of Jan. last. Mr. Rains and Mr. Dearsley conducted the prosecution. The prisoner did not understand English, and an old lady, who could speak the Swedish, was sworn to be interpreter. The prisoner, on being called to plead, had said that he would like to have counsel ; but the case had proceeded some time without his being defended, the evidence for the prose cution being translated to Gregg as it was delivered by the witnesses. Finally, however, Mr. Sergeant Wilkins offered, in order to save the time of the Court, to cross-examine the witnesses of the prosecution, and to conduct the case for the prisoner. Thomas Rodgers, of North Frodingham, the party injured, stated that he is what is called a shopman. On the 7th of January last witness was in Leadenhall-square, in hull, at about five minutes past twelve at night. He and another man by the name of Joseph Lee, and some other young men, were at Jackson's public-house in the square. The prisoner and two other foreigners were seen coming along the square at great speed, and apparently much excited. They stopped in the street for a while, and prosecutor and Lee stood near them, at about two or three yard* off. The prisoner, and those with them, then went towards Manners• street, leading into Broadly-street. Witness went in the same direction, and on getting to Broadly-street, saw the prisoner and one of the other foreigners near to a considerable crowd of per sons, where they seemed to be engaged in arguing with some person. One of the foreigners (not the prisoner) held a drinking: glass, and an English sailor told him that "he must give the glass up, or that he would make him." One of these foreigners was Isaac Inman, another Swede, now to be tried here upon a similar charge, that of wounding Charles Saunderson. Prosecutor then rejoined his companion, Joseph Lee, and in a minute or two, while they were stand ing talking at some distance from he crowd, a person said, "Here are some foreigners coming, with their knives drawn." Two of the foreigners then made their appearance, the pri soner and Inman. Gregg carried a knife. It was a sailor's common clasp knife, with a string of leather tied to it. The prisoner first struck Lee in the forehead, and directly after struck prosecutor several blows, one on the ribs, near the heart, one behind the ear, and another across the cheek. By the latter blow a wound was inflicted; it was a wound of some depth, and caused much blood to flow, though the cheek was not cut through. The prosecutor stated that he had been attended by a surgeon, and had suffered much illness in consequence of that wound. Other witnesses confirmed all these facts, and stated fur ther details of the transaction. One of them. however, proved that the prisoner and the other foreigner, Inman, had been attacked with sticks before the prisoner wounded Rodgers. Rodgers was shown to have had a stick handed to him just before the assault complained of ; but it was not shown who it was that had attacked the prisoner and his companion, and there was nothing to indicate from what motive the pri soner could have inflicted the wound upon Rodgers. Mr. WILKINS, in his address to the jury, remarked upon the want of practical charity prevailing among some people towards any who happened to be called " foreigners. He said it was Meer these men must themselves have been aggrieved before they would have deemed it necessary to use their knivee. It was proved that they had been the object of an attack, sad that they had been beaten with sticks only just before the assault was committed; and, under these circumstances, there was nothing to justify the supposition that the act of the prisoner was done with any other intent than that of insuring self-defence. The jury, after hearing his Lordship's summing up, agreed with the Learned Counsel in their view of the case. They left the box to deliberate, but ultimately found the prisoner guilty of the common assault only. NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—Huntingdon, March 12. The commission for this county was opened to-day at nine o'clock by Mr. Baron Parke, who arrived at that hour from Bedford, the scene cf his exertions yesterday. The calendar, though it contains the names of twenty-two prisoners, is not of a heavy character. It embraces one case of arson, one of burglary, one of housebreaking, one of assault on a woman, one charge of sheepstealing, and a few of common larcenies. Of the contents of the cause list it is rather difficult to speak just now, for it has not made its appearance yet. Perhaps it awaits the arrival of Mr. Justice Maule, who has been detained at Bedford trying pri soners ; but it is whispered that it can only contain that fabulous animal, the " single case at Huntingdon," un less indeed it be referred before the arrival of the Learned Judge. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron PARKE.) Eliza Illaycock, aged 22, was charged with maliciously setting fire to one stack of corn, one stack of hay, and one of straw, on the 2d of January last, in this county. Mr. Gunning conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Prender gast the defence. The prosecutor in this case was Mr. Bridgfoot, a farmer, residing in Ramsey Fen, and at the time of the commission of the offence the prisoner was in his service, having entered it at last Michaelmas. In consequence of her misconduct it would appear that the prosecutor soon had reason to find fault with her, and to threaten to summon her before the justices. This occurred twice, tha last time being a week before the day named in the indictment. About five o'clock on that afternoon the prisoner was cut of the house, and in stead of attending to her duties, remained absent for half an hour. About six she came into the parlour where her master was sitting, and told him in a very excited and alarmed tone that there was a light in the stack-yard. On this the prosecutor rushed out and found that the property named in the indictment was all in flames. There being no help at hand the three stacks were entirely consumed, and, there being no possible ground for imputing the act to any stranger, suspicion fell on the prisoner, whose manner had of late at tracted the notice of her master and his family, but espe cially on the previous day, when she was very different from what she had been before. She was accordingly questioned, and her answers lent strength to those suspicions, for they were contradictory in themselves, and opposed to facts within the knowledge of the family. At one time she said she had been busy making her master's tea at the critical period just before the fire burst out, but his sister had herself performed that office for bins in her absence. She then said she had been out to fetch some sticks for the lire with a lantern, and that in passing between the stacks she fell down awl let fall the light, and set fire to the stacks, after which she was too frightened to stop and pick up the lantern, and ran away. This, however, was no better than the other account, for it was well known that there was not a stick on the premises, the farm being a thorough fen one, and supplied with turf alone for fuel. After this she burst out into tears, and said she did it because her master threatened to summon he; ; and when taken before the magistrate she finally admitted " the job" and said that "it would not have happened if her master had not threatened to prison' her." Mr. PRENDERGAST addressed the jury for the prisoner, contending that the conflagration was not malicious, as it was the result of accident, arising from the nervous and excited state of mind into which she had been thrown by some unknown cause, perhaps the threats of her master ; while he endeavoured to explain away the effect of her ad missions and contradictory accounts by reference to the same all-powerful cause. Mr. Baron l'Artsck; told the jury, that unless they thought the prisoner absolutely insane, they ought not to pay any attention to the accounts of her mariner which had been ex tracted on cress-examination from the witnesses. These ac counts did not amount to anything like proof of such a state of mind as would admit of the prisoner being irresponsible for her acts, and if the jury saw nothing; in the case to raise any rational doubt of her having fired her master's property maliciously, they ought to say that she was guilty of the charge imputed to her. The jury, without much hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty, and she was thereupon sentenced to fifteen years' transportation. Mr. Justice Maule reached this place at two o'clock, and immediately proceeded to try prisoners, the assizes having turned out a maiden one on his side. The cases brought under the cognizance of his Lordship were not of a character to call for any detailed notice. WESTERN ClRCUlT.—Salisbury, March 12. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) Elizabeth Butcher was placed at the bar, and charged, upon the coroner's inquisition, with the wilful murder of her in fant child. An indictment had been preferred against her, but the grand jury ignored the bill, at which some surprise has been expressed. _ Mr. Hodges appeared on behalf of the prosecution, and stated the facts of the case to the jury. By the statement of the Learned Counsel, it appeared that the prisoner had been a pauper in the Cricklade and Wootton- Bassett workhouse, and in December last was delivered there ofanillegitimate female child. In the course of the next month she wished to leave the house, and accordingly gave notice of her intention, as was required by the regulations stripped of of the house on her leaving. The unfortunate baby was the cothes it had worn in the workhouse since its any coverin g birth, and have when she left. P ' ex na c e e th t er was obliged to take it away without shawl, which the mother happened to the mother had left tll The child was quite well, but shortly after and dead in a brook ofewwaotrekrhouse' the child was found naked to say under all the It was, therefore, for the jury been guilty of the crime impute cir cumstances te whether the mothef• had l o i r i n w t l o i whether the stream l c: i b l 3 d , had died and had been afterwards tl h r e 3W , l i h n en th c e al kicklad e Union, and was Cook — ar l ne a d in C a ou n n u s r e s l e he J r. ane T so in December last. The prisoner was there and was delivered there of a female child. i ,e at that ti me , gave on the 9th of January t hat she wishe d to leave the notice and at that time she ha d no clothes to p ut on the bady, "e a s nd 1 I told the mistress of t h e workhouse so. She said that she (the prisoner) had better not leave the house until she had obtained some from her friends, and told her that by the rules of the house if clothes were rot brought in none were allowed to be taken away. The prisoner said that she could not stop to get any clothes, but must go directly. I took the union clothes off the baby, and it was then naked. The prisoner wrapped it up in a shawl she had, and also put a handkerchief on its head, and a pair of socks on its feet. The matron of the union was present when I so stripped the child. The prisoner left the house at about eleven o'clock in the morn ing. I was afterwards shown the dead body of a child. It was the same child. [At this stage of the case the gaoler stated that the pri soner had employed an attorney to instruct counsel to defend her, but no learned gentleman had, it appeared, received any brief. The trial then proze,eded.l Ann Coward—l remember meeting the prisoner on the 9th of January. She was going on the road from Wootton- Bassett. She was carrying a child; it was crying violently. I spoke to her, taking her for a person I knew. I did not know her before. ( Here Mr. Slade, the attorney of Devizes, came into Court and stated he had been employed to defend the prisoner; but as the grand jury had ignored the bill against her, he had no idea she would be tried on the coroner's inquisition, and therefore had not delivered any brief to counsel. He then handed a brief to Mr. C. Saunders to defend the prisoner.] Charles Brown—On Friday, the 9th of January, I was going along the Trinity-road, which is a few miles from the union-house, and met the prisoner, who had an umbrella and a small bundle with her. About a mile after I passed her I had to go over a little bridge, and saw something in the water which looked like a child. I went back to a cot tage near. Mary Ann Longley lived there. She returned with me, and brought a garden rake, and with it we drew out of the water the dead body of an infant child. It was quite dead. The child was quite naked. Mary Ann Longley confirmed the witness as to taking the child out of the water. John King—l am a policeman, and apprehnded the pri slner on the 10th cf February. She had the shawl and handkerchief, the same' that had been wrapped round the prisoner's child's body when she left the union. _ _ _ Goss-examined—The child was quite healthy whel it left the workhouse. The child had no clothes but those belong ing to the tnion•house. It is the custom of the house to take away the clothes from the children when they ale taken out of the house, even although they have no other clothes, and were left naked The child was called Ann Butcher. . __— Henry Dixon—l am a surgeon, residing at Parton. I made an examination of the body of the child found in the brook by Brown. I opened the body. The appearance of the viscera was healthy, and there was nothing which was likely to cause sudden death. I even now cannot say what was the immediate cause of the child's death. I cannot say it wa■ by suffocation by drowning. There is nothing to enable me to say it died from suffocation, or that it did not die of auffb cat ion. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. C. SAUNDERS then addressed the jury fur the prisoner, and contended that there was no evidence to show that the child died from drowning, which was the cause of death charged by the inquisition, of which they must be perfectly convinced before they could convict the pri, , oner. The child might have died on the road, and as it was illegitimate, might then have been thrown into the water by the prisoner to pre vent her shame being known. Mr. Baron ROLFE, in summinrup, told the jury to take all the circumstances of the case into their consideration ' and then say whether they thought the death of the child was from natural causes, or from drowning by the hand of the prisoner. It was not because the surgeon could not dis tinctly say whether the child died from drowning or not that they were to acquit her, but they were to decide that ques tion looking at all the facts. The jury, after a few minutes' consultation, acquitted the prisoner. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. James Boulter, aged twenty, was brought up, charged with being an idle and disorderly person. Mr. Mortlock, the master of the East London work house, stated that the prisoner had been an inmate of the .house for many years. He had been discharged, with clothes and mosey, to seck work, but he constantly returned to the workhouse. On Monday he had been sent to a Mr. Solomons, who wanted a stout lad, and who offered him Gs. a week, to be incrmed to 12s. as he improved and became worth so much. The prisoner positively refused to take the place under half-a-crown a day. Mr. Mottlock said that persons who had been long in the workhouse, cared not whether they were in a workhouse or a prison ; they were, therefore, uncon trollable. Another lad had thrown up a place of 12s. a week, to come and live in the workhouse. Mr. Alderman CHALLIS said the judges were coming to the opinion that it was a mistake to think that impri sonment was a punishment to such reckless, unruly lads, and that a good sound whipping was more likely to pro duce a change in their conduct. A third conviction under the Vagrant Act left it to the option of a magis trate to send the offender to be tried at the quart(-r ses sions, when the magistrates might order corporal punish ment to be inflicted. He would now commit the pri soner for one month, after which he would be qualified for the whipping if he did not behave differently. MARYLEBONE. Sarah Wilks, a servant ou t of place, it appeared, took up her abode for the night at the lodging-house of Mrs. Lee, of 26, Henrietta-street, Manchester-square, wheal, after having had a sound skep, she departed in the morning, apparently well satisfied with the cleanliness of the mistress of the establishment. Upon leaving the house she went straightway to a neighbouring pawn broker's, and offered in p!edge a sheet, which the shrewd tradesman examined minutely, and found, to the utter consternation of the prisoner, these words marked in large characters in the centre, " Martha Lee—stop thief." The pawnbroker looked at the woman, and asked her some questions, the answers to which were so contradictory that he felt bound to follow the advice given by the author of the words on the sheet, and handed her over to the police. Mrs. Lee identified the property, and the prisoner, who said nothing in defence, was committed. SOUTHWARK. Edward Elsbury, a fashionably-dressed young man, was brought before Mr. Traill for reexamination, charged with breaking into chambers occupied by Lord Burghley, St. John's College, Cambridge, and stealing upwards of 501. woi th of property, consisting of diamond shirt studs, pins, and brooches, the property of his Lord ship. Lord Burghley, accompanied by the Hon. Frederick Montague, a fellow collegian, attended, and from the statement of the former, it appeared that on the morning of the 26th ult. he went from his rooms in the above college, about eleven o'clock, leaving the various articles of jewellery safe in his dressing-room. Ho returned about nine o'clock the same night, and then discovered that his rooms had been entered in his absence, and plundered of the whole of the jewellery, none of the books or any other description of property having been removed. A set of diamond studs was here produced, and his Lordship identified them as forming part of the articles of which he had been plundered, under the cir cumstances just mentioned. He added that he had no know'edge whatever of the prisoner, never having seen him until he was placed at the bar of the Court. Inspector Rogers briefly described the circumstances under which the prisoner's apprehension was effected, from which it appeared that on Tuesday last the pri soner walked into a pawnbroker's shop in Blackfriars road, and, producing a very splendid opal pin, wanted to pledge it. The shopman, suspecting that the article had been stolen, detained the prisoner until the arrival of a policeman, into whose custody he was given, and when taken to the station-house, a pawnbroker's duplicate for a valuable diamond pin was found wrapped up in a corner of his shirt. The pin in question was also pro duced, and identified by Lord Burghley as his property. Mr. TRAIL', inquired if the prisoner was seen at Cam bridge about the period the robbery was committed? An inspector of the Cambridge Police stated that evi dence wouldle forthcoming to prove that a young man, answering the prisoner's description in every particular, was seen leaving St. John's College between seven and eight o'clock on the 26th ult. On the former examination, the prisoner said he lived at Cambridge, and in accounting for the possession of the diamond pin he offered in pledge, and the duplicate of another article of jewellery, he said that he had pur chased them of a Mr. Roll, a silversmith, of Cambridge. Neither the latter gentleman, nor any of the prisoner's friends attended now, although he was strongly ads ised to communicate with them, particularly with Mr. Roll, in order that he might bear out the truth of his asser tion with respect to his having purchased the diamond pin of him. In reply to Mr. Trail!, the inspector said the assizes commenced that day at Cambridge, and as that was the ca e, the magistrate said that the prisoner had better be taken down there immediately, the offence having been committed there, and that the necessary evidence to es tablish the charge could be produced at once before the grand jury. The prisoner, who made no remark, nor expressed any disappointment that his friends were not in at tendance, was then given into the cost idy of the Cam bridge inspector, who accordingly proceeded with him to the above place. LAMBETH. On Saturday Mr. Samuel Henry Powell, a gentleman residing at North Brixton, appeared before Mr. Norton to answer to an information laid against him under the 7 and 8 Vie., commonly called the Joint Steck Compa nies' Act, by Mr. White, a surveyor, residing at Missen den, in Buckinghamshire, for an alleged Aimee under that Act, by which he was liable to a penalty of 201. The plaintiff conducted his own case, and Mr. George Smith, of 24, Golden-square, attended on the part of Mr. Powell, and to watch the proceedings. It appeared that the complainant, Mr. White, had been employed by the Messrs. Dempsey. surveyors of the Grand Junction Great Western and South Western Rail way Junction to survey a portion of the line, but they becoming embarrassed were unable to pay him 2804 due to him for the survey which he had made. The Messrs. Dempsey stated that they were unable to pay, in consequence of the company refusing to pay them the amount of their bill, which amounted to nearly 3,0001. Mr. White, finding that he could not get his money, wrote to the clerk of the solicitors, in which he threatened to call a public meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Demp sey, and hinted that such an exposure of the affairs of the company would not be very serviceable to the promoters of the project. The communication not producing any effect, Mr. White went to the Registry Office, Sergeant's Inn, Fleet-street, and there discovered such omissions in the registry of the company as induced him to adopt the present proceedings. Before doing so, however, he, as a necessary preliminary, obtained the sanction of the At torney-General, and he now sued in the name of that learned functionary. It was admitted on the part of the defendant that a prospectus put in had been printed by directions of the managing committee ; that it had not been registered ; that tne name of Mr. George Smith had not been re gistered as its solicitor, nor had its place of business iu Charlotte-place, Mansion , house, been registered. Mr. Smith denied that the complainant had anyclaim whatever on the company, as he had never been em ployed by them ; and as to the Messrs. Dempsey, they had been paid from time to time 1,5001. for surveying the line, and, although they had undertaken to have the plans, &c., ready by the 30th of November, they failed in carrying out their contract, and the consequence was that the company were obliged to give up the project. Mr. Powell, the defendant, assured the magistrate that he himself, and the committee of management, had done everything in their power to satisfy every one who had tb a hya j tt u he st fa claim on th e l ate company, an d t h e b est p roo f they e th thad that, h e t ce o e u d g e h d m i n r. their White h objectad thought was properevidenced to institute a similar proceeding at the Mansion-house, and though the proceedings there had been protracted from day to day, not a single individual was found to come forward to make a complaint. An irregular, lengthy, and somewhat personal discussion followed, which Mr. Norton at length put an end to, declaring his opinion to be that the case rem amply proved spinet the defendant. He convicted him in the fall penalty of t 201. and expenses. Mr. Smith gave notice of appeal against the decision. BO W-S7 BEET. A young mart applied to Mr. Jardine for advice under these circumstances. He had been apprenticed to a printer for some time, and had been working lately for another printer, to whom he had not been regularly " turned over," but who had possession of his indentures. He wanted to leave this person, and bad frequently demanded his inden tures, but his employer refused to give them up. Mr. JARDINE said that the transfer of an apprentice, ex cept by the ordinary mode of turning over, was not legal, and the applicant was not bound by it. He could leave his present employer any time he liked, and his indentures would not bind him to serve any master but the one he had covenanted with. The applicant asked if his original master could obtain the indentures from the person who now held them? . . Mr. JARDINE said that he could if he liked. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PonTsmouTit, FRIDAY.— The Comet steam-vessel, Lieu tenant-Commander Pretyman, and the Fanny yacht, Master- Commander Aylen, were docked yesterday to complete their refit. The Fah-y, royal yacht, Master-Commander Roberts, is alongside the jetty, taking in provisions prior to piing to the river to relit at Messrs. Penn's. An accident which might have had a most unfortunate termination, occurred on board this vessel, just as her Majesty was disembarking alongside thejetty. One of the boats, with a man in it, was being lowered by order of Commander Crispin, of the Victoria and Albert, when the foremost fall of the boat was let go, and the Loat fell upon the water, throwing out the man, who was instantly immersed, but who was quickly rescued from his perilous situation by the coast guard, who picked him up; he consequently only experienced a drenching and a fright. This is the result of " too many cooks," lac. If the Fairy had been left in the hands of her rightful commander, such conduct would not have been exhibited. - _ ALTERATIONS IN THE ROYAL NAVAL UNIFORMS.—The alterations in the royal naval uniforms have been decided on, and her Majesty, on having them submitted to her by the Admiralty, has been pleased to signify her approval of the same. They will be promulgated in a few days, and among them, we have reason to believe, will be the fol lowing :—Admirals, captains, commanders, lieutenants, masters, mates, and second masters will have devices of silver embroidery, whilst the medical officers and secreta ries will have gold embroidered devices. Full admirals, it is said, will have for devices on their epaulettes a sword and baton, and three stars ; vice-admirals, the same, is ith two stars; and rear-admirals, the same, with only one star. The senior post captains are to hove a star on their epau lettes; captains of less than three years' standing the star, crown, and anchor; commanders, the crown and anchor; lieutenants, the anchor; master with taco epaulettes, the de vice of crossed anchors ; mates, one epaulette, with the device of an anchor wrought on it; second masters, one epalette with the device of crossed anchors. The head of the medical department, epaulettes with the device of a crown worked in gold. Inspectors and deputy medical in spector s. and admirals' secretaries, two epaulettes with the device of a crown wrought in gold, the bullion to distinguish the grades Surgeons and pursers, two plain epaulettes each ; and assistant surgeon . , one plain epaulette. The great coat will be of uniform she; e; straps with the devices for each rank worked on the shoulder, denoting the grade. The cap will have, in addition to the gold band, a crown over it. These, it is understood in well-informed circles, are to be as nearly as possible the alterations in the naval uniform, but the different classes of officers will he more plainly denoted by the positions of the buttons on the coats. THE Beeuraornox.—The Bellerophon took in her pow ' der at Spithead on Thursday morning, the boy having been towed out by the Rocket. The Rodney's crew were em ployed on Thursday and Friday in putting everything " ship shape" on board their new ship, but orders arrived yesterday for the Bel:erophon to go into harbour; consequently the powder was again got out, and at n on she was towed in by the Echo. As she passed the platform, where a number of persons had congregated, she was much admired for her orderly appearance—masts standing well, ropes all taut, and altogether looking as though she had been in commis sion twelve months. She is to dismantle, and return her stores and provisions, which work will, it is said, be com menced to-day, and re sort says that the ship's company of the Rodney will receive the thanks of the Admiralty, and fourteen days' pay, and richly doithey deserve it. In our re port on Wednesday, on the fitting out of this ship, we have to regret that we omitted to pay the tribete due to the officers and men of Portsmouth Dockyard, to whom the ex pedition of her fit out is in a great measure owing, and who so ably seconded the exertions made by the Rodney's crew. The yard men had the lower rigging to fit and get ready to go over the mast-heads, to rig ie lower yards before they were cie esed, and to gammen the bowsprit. The expedi ticus way in which all the ship's fureiture and stores were Leaned and brought down to the ship gave infinite sati fac tion to the executives of the Rodney, everything was so well arranged that not a moment's delay occurred; this may be entirely attributed to the good management and method pursued throughout by Mr. Purdoe and Mr. Brown, the active and intelligent masters attendant at the dockyard. In the fitting out the Bellerophon we observed that the moat tedious operation was the gamnioning and the clothing of the bowsprit; it threw all the other part of the rigging back : in consequence of the seamen in clothing the bow sprit having to stand on slang stages, not many hands can be placed on this work. We see no good reason why every " advanced ship" that has her bowsprit in should not have it gammoned. The gammoning is chain, which would not much deteriorate by lying up exposed to weather; it might, however, be easily protected from wet. The bo'estays and collars should, we think, always be kept ready for going on, which would much expedite the rigging of the advanced ships when brought forward at short notice. PLYMOUTH, MARCH 12.—Her Majesty's ship Calcutta, 84, was this morning towed down the harbour from Hamoaze by the Confiance and another steam-tug, just arrived from Ports mouth. At two o'clock . ren. she came to anchor in Plymouth Sound, and, immediately the steamers left her, saluted the flag of Port-Admiral Sir John West. The Calcutta was on Saturday last, the 7th instant, quietly lying at her moorings in Ilamoaze, with the other ships in ordinary. On Monday, the 9th, Captain N. Lockyer, of the Albion, received orders from the Admiralty to fit her out with all expedition. At that time she had her three loiter masts and bowsprit in, and water-tanks on board; by the evening her lower yards were hoisted. On Tuesday morning her top-gallant masts were up, and yards across; in the afternoon she took in her cables and dockyard stores, guns, victualling stores, and water. This (Thursday) morning her studdingsail gear was rove, and she is now ready fur sea. The discipline end alacrity of the officers and crew of the Albion has, in the fitting of the Calcutta, been exemplified in a manner most creditable to themselves and kighly gra tifying to their commander, Captain Lockyer. During the progress of the work the men observed the most quiet atten tion to their duties; they laboured two hours extra daily, and have taken their dinners on board. It is said that a bet of 2001. has been made dependent on the superior expedition opposite T m h e etoh c , o ew n h t : d r o a os c ee t ko i yb s used in fitting the Bellerophon at Portsmouth, or the Cal cutta at Plymouth. :dockyard-gate i object, t t : gh from othema has d al SHEERNESS, THURSDAY.—The ordnance works going on r n favourably. p g risi g practical l n y orth bask of the ditch to protect it we can see and learn, is to execute the work well, if not with s e n er igh completed, and the brick mus ketry activere are progressing r e e n e t s e i k eidtni e ss t rit r a y h platformtec w hs a e. l a l Tv t li O leeew fl ‘n' a eei n lsr k ewdb i e t alt o ti n the west, and connect it with the old fortifications at Garrison-point, is now in the course of erection. Another battery to the eastward, to which this is to be con• netted by another musketry-wall, has just been commenced ; it will be continued into the bastions extending from the Thames to the Medway. Profiles have recently been set up on the Mile-town side of these fortifications for a line of bastions to protect the drawb.idge, by means of which alone will there be communication isy land either with Blue-town or the dockyard, foriwhen all is finished they will be com pletely insulated. Three pattern traversing-platforms with their gun-carriages mounted, have recently arrived from Woolwich, and workmen are now proceeding to fit the masonry, at the several places marked for guns on the old works at Garrison-point, to receive them. The platforms are 16 feet in length by 4, feet in breadth, and, with the gun-carriages mounted, from 6to 8 feet in height. They are composed of massive beams of fir strongly jointed; those for the 56-pounder guns are of African oak. Forward they will be connected by an iron pivot fixed in the ground close to the parapet, while aft they will traverss. the masonry grooved to receive their wheels in a semicircle. The guns will be fired over the parapet, and can thus be pointed in any direction. They will recoil on the platform on which they are fitted, and it has been proved will not in tae least dis turb the small pivot to which Use massive platforms are secured. They have been well denominated " a one-gun battery," since one gun thus mounted forms a battery in itself. Wooewrcer, MARCH 13.—The war schooner Adder, Lieu tenant Knollaert commander, belonging to his Majesty the King of the Netherlands, left Flushing on the 6th inst., and, after touching at Sheerness and Chatham to afford the offi cers on board an opportunity of visiting these dockyards, came up time river yesterday to Woolwich, and now lies at moorings off the dockyard. At half-past ten o'clock this morning nine officers landed from the Adder, and were con ducted over the dockyard by Commodore Sir Francis A. Collier, C.B. and K.C11., and Commander Smith. On en tering the factory they appeared surprised to witness the extent of the building and the powerful nature and beautiful workmanship of the machinery performing its various duties. On leaving the foundry they were conducted to the Royal Albert first-class ship-of-war, of 120 guns, builling from a design by Mr. Lang, and on entering and descending to the bottom of that splendid vessel, appeared astonished at her great magnitude, and the height of the frame timbers. The Dutch officers remained a considerable time in the interior of the vessel, walking from end to end, and ad miring the strong and massive timbers, and the substantial manner in wlich they are joined to each other. They then proceeded to the Terrible war steamer, and were conducted over that vessel by Captain Ramsay, her commander. The power of her guns and the magnitude of the machinery on board excited their admiration, and they expressed them selves greatly pleased with all they witnessed in this fine vessel. They also visited the mast-house, the new docks, and saw• min, and the blacksmiths' shop. The erew of the Swallow steam -vessel, Master Commander Sherlock, will be 'paid off on Tuesday next, and, with her officers, be transferred to the Violet steam- vessel, and pro ceed to Dover to resume their duties at the packet station. , The Adventure transport-ship arrived at Woolwich on Wednesday, and will leave for Portsmouth to-Morrow. The Myrmidon steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Jen kins, was tried down the river yesterday, and will leave to morrow. Letters have been received from the Lizard steam-vessel. sister to the Myrmidon, a t present on her passage to South America. They are dated St. Jago, Cape de Verde Islands, Feb. 1, 1846, where she arrived in 24 days from England. having experienced very heavy gales for about a week before she arrived at Madeira. The steaming qualities of the ves sel are described as being very good, and she is much ad mired by nautical men. The engines work remarkably well, and 'one float at the extremity instead of two reefed was timid to be best. The Lizard has been found an excellent ' sea-boat, as she ran within 250 miles of Madeira in five days and then had to put her fires out, and yet she beat the Endy mion frigate by two days from Falmouth to Madeira. When the coals of the Lizard ran short, the floats were taken off, and she rode like a duck under storm, trysails never taking a drop of water on board ; but she does not sail well on a wind, only two knots and a half per hour, and fire knots be fore it. She is to proceed to Ascension or St. Salvador for coals, there being only about twenty tons at St. Jago, ten of which nn American frigate had kindly lent to the Govern ment. The Ardent, steam-vessel, refitting at Woolwich, is ordered to be hastened, and when ready for sea will proceed to the Mediterranean to relieve the Sydenham steam-vessel, Lieu tenant-Commarder Macdonald. the latter having been found in a very decayed state. The Sydenham was built in Canada. The Monkey steam-vessel, Master-Commander William Bryant, towed the Trafalgar, new No. 28 transport-ship, from Deptford to Gravesend yesterday, to take on board I troops for foreign service. How.

John continues by saying that her humane and Chris memorable years of 1715-16 anti Cumberland's unmerciful troopers, and not in a few t G I i 7 3 a 4 n e s l - c a 4 o 6 h n . a d r uc y t particularly i a n nn the t wer le a nlaterd years,through kill ai manyd daleof thehy nieces the silent but blooming heath stained with tie it blood, Lady Drammuir's conduct in these trying times was the theme of praise throughout Great Britain by .Tecobites and rigid Presbyterians, and by Whigs and Tories. Old .john adds, that this worthy lady kindly entertained the Pretender in 1715, and it was with her in 1745 filet Prince Charles resided, from whose drawing. room window he several times exhibited himself by bowing to the wishful and anxious multitude, who, on every occasion, hailed his comely form with the greetest enthusiasm and applause, especially the femal. s. It was under this roof too he resided on the 15th April, 1746, the night before his final defeat on Culloden Moor. Little did he then think that ere the next day's sun had set down to rest, his deadly foe, the Duke of Cumberland, would be sumptuously faring at the ever-hospitable table of Lidy Doff of Drummuir—but fate destined it so. The Duke, how ever, suspecting that her ladyship did not much relish the company of her Saxen lodg- rs, especially the hilarity with which he and a few of his principal officers indulged in respecting that day's victory on Culloden Moor, made him somewhat rudely accost her thus :—" I consider, madam, your conduct to be highly condemnable, for giving countenance and shelter to that Pretender who has so much disturbed the peace and happiness of these kingdoms-" To this she indignantly and fearlessly inn rdth eo — - c a " s lt i c E i ,s andtrue , not Duke, later s I h t h e a l t n e r e l a d s th night, o too, where his bed was soft and warm, but ah I I fear to night it will be hard and cold. However, since you are under my roof, I will endeavour to sect mmodato your Royal Highness to the best of my power. You are now the third Prince who has been in my house, and that, in times cf contention and blooc!shed, but I hope I MEW not live to see the day of being %lite(' by a fourth on such an occasion," On this Cumberland and his crew, notwithstanding his deadly enmity to the unfortunate Charles Stuart, could not help admiring the unflinching and determined reply of this heroine. ()Id John often thinks how visible the hand of Providence was to be seen in the overthrow o? Prince Charles ; fur when he sent a goodly number of spies to view and report the positing of the Duke of Curnberl ind's army at Niirn on the night previous to the battle, who, on their arrival there, found that the English troops were mostly all drunk, and some of whom were lying benumbed with the cold, outside their camp—this was in consequence of that day being the birth-day of his Royal Highness. At this time less than one-half of the rebel army in the neighbour hood could easily have massacred every one of them. Next morning the sun shette brilliantly with a fine westerly wind, which was looked upon by many of the rebels as no bad omen. However, such hopes proved to be but fleeting ; for shortly after commencing their march to meet the foe, the fitnamenc became dark and cloudy, and totally eclipsed the sun and its effulgent rays, and when almost in sight of the Saxon troops, the wind veered round to the north-east, accompanied by a heavy shower of sleet. All these untoward forebodings tended much to damp the spirits of the poor Highlanders ; yet, at the eleventh hour, they did nct despair, but, after firing the first volley, in consequence of' the strong wind blowing in their faces, the smoke from their muskets and sleet together, almost deprived them of their sight, so that they could not see but dimly the position of the enemy, thus giving a doub'e advantage to the English of seeing their confused position. It was at this critical moment that many of the Highlanders threw down their muskets and rushed forward with claymore. At this time it was told many more were immediately to fellow, and were it not that the order for retreat was prematurely given, there is not a doubt, says John, as far as men could sse, bat the English would be put to the route It was most remarkable, too, that had Prince Charles stood his ground for one minute longer he would have witnessed the English rapidly retreat, some of whom had their muskets actually in rnsrehing order, for never did they meet an enemy with less spirits to fight than on this occasion. However, when they saw the Highlanders retreat first, their spirits speedily enlivened—but in the pursuit the troopers were those who did most havoc amor gst the rebels; still many of the troopers, in their eagerness for slaughter, who strayed too far in the fastnet.ses of our hills, never re turned to tell the tale—the peasantry who were fortunate enough to have a musket or other deadly weave - , think ing it no sin to take the life of a trooper. Old John says there were none more keenly pursued by the merciless troopers than the brave Mr. Macgillivrayi of Dalcrombie. This gentleman was a captain in the rebel army, and no single arm committed such slaughter amongst the Sasanachs as he did that day on Cullolisn floor—it was he who led the pa.rty of Highlanders tis•tt first rushed with their claymores in the face of their opponents ; consequently, his heroic achievements were specially noticed by the leaders of the royal army. After the retreat, he therefore was eagerly p r u e r s t u h e n d fi , r a a n t d t was ro np e a r c tot:, overtook his ic came feethin sight ; hiub him, whom p,notl o t ah f e his o him, fheh ewaau e t.i hhn minutes h own house wmta h o n ue i tchis instantly a' alsol t s r a , t t c hh quicklyre e d e witho stht stretched c i s h troopers claymore ed a was dyed with their blood. At this cri ical moment nine more came up to him, and, notwithstanding the bran dishing of their sabres, two of them he likewise laid low, and were it not that his hand now got swollen in the hilt of his sword, it is said he would to a certainty have killed the whole; but being unable any longer to wield his broadsword, his antagonists now found it no difficult matter in taking the like of this brave " Wallace " of 1746. Not being satisfied with his death, they took sway all the silver buttons out of his coat—truly no honourable prize-money. Dalcrombie was the prettiest, handsomest, and strongest man of his day in the High lands, and might wed be termed a second Wallace. Two days thereafter the Prince heard of his bravery and death and said—" If all had stood my cause as Dalcrombie had done, I would not have been a forlorn wanderer to-day.".' In old John's young days, a favourite song in the mouths of almost every one in the Highlands was " Dal crombie's Lament," which must have had a peculiar effect upon the feelings, as it was never recited without bringing tears from the eyes of the anxious listeners. How unlike was the character of Lady Drummuir to that of Lady Borlum of old, which we lately, from old John's budget, presented our readers with ; but like that lady, she would now and then parade the streets of Inverness in a gorgeous long silk robe, held up by a train-bearer, and her presence would be held with de light wherever she went—but that of Lady Borlum with her train-bearers, struck terror and dismay in the coun tenances of all. Lady Duff sent her train-bearer, honest John Grant, to London (afterwards better known by the soubriquet of " London Jock "), to learn the necessary politeness one in his important station would require. John made good his time in the great metropolis by attending balls and masquerades, also witnessing the towings and scrapings in and about St. Stephen's walls. He then, imagining himself to be well formed in all the grades of good breeding and politeness of the day, consequently lost no time in returning home to the Highlands, to resume his s e rvice of henchman or train-bearer to her Ladyship of Brummuir, and truly Jock made no mean appearance as such, as he trudged behind her ladyship with his fine broad-skirted gree n coat, richly embroidered with gold lace, fine yellow vest and breeches, large polished brass buckles in his shoes, cocked hat edged with gold lace, under which was sus pended over his shoulders, a long powered queue. But, after all, Jock at times was not to be envied, on account of his having to stand so often to the gaze of the won dering " Clechnacudins," for her ladyship would never pass a pin or bodle without lifting it, which she would fix in her sleeve, at the same time saying to her trusty servant, " Weel, John, ye ken a pin a day is just a groat a-year." But this by no means arose from any narrow-mindedness on her part, but merely that she would suffer no waste of anything that might be of use. And on her going to the House of Prayer, a place from which no consider ation whatever would keep her back, dressed in the same costume, and Jock at his post behind, she regularly car ried a bag hung from her arm, containing from 2s. to 3s. in copper, which she would distribute amongst the poor who then, and for years after, sat upon crepit stools upon the street, near the gateway to the High Church, anxiously waiting the pittance of the benevolent passers. by. The memory or the good Lady Duff of Drum muir will ever live in the capital of the Highlands, and it is worthy of remark that the gallant gentleman who now represents the ancient family of Drummuir, is largely imbued with the spirit of his illustrious ancestor, as it is only a few years since he gave the princely dona tion of 1,0001. to the Society for Propagating Christian Knowledge in connexion with the Church of England. Among the several charities Lady Drummuir left in commemoration of her goodness, was a substantial house to her faithful and trusty servant, London Jock. RAILWAY TELEGRAPH FROM MANCHESTER AND LI VERPOOL TO LONDON.—It is now etermined to fix the rail way telegraph from both Liverpool and Manchester to London, by which information may be tran.,mitted from London to Manchester or Liverpool, and vice versa, in three minutes or les , ! The great importance of such a rapid mode of conveying information cannot be over estimated, and we hope that nothing may interfere to prevent the project from being carried to completion without delay. We further hope that an extension of the telegraphic wires will be made to Preston, where they can be connected with those fixed on the Preston andWyre line. Important information from London will be then received at Preston and Fleetwood in abcut fimr minutes ! By these means, in connextion with the pow erful steamers which ply from the latter port, the north of Ireland may be in possession of the earliest pos , ible, intel ligence from the metropolis of England. There is little doubt but ultimately the telegraph will be fixed in all the important lines in England and Scotland.--Lancaster Guardian.

The dynamic effects of the wind here have been quite equal to what the indications of the anemometer would prepare us for. A front window of the observatory was early dashed in; and, but for the aid afforded by a visitor in my house, and Mr. Johnston, farmer, at Horslet-hill, in ba r r a e a di ng the shutters, I make no doubt that the roof of the building would have been carried off. The stand of the Herscheliau telescope was blown down under peculiar circumstances. It was secured by strong ropes to heavy stones buried in the ground. The rope, attaching it to one of the stones, broke; but the other stone, a block two feet square, and about afoot in thickness, was torn from the earth, and tossed ten yatds from its place I The mignetie house. is levelled to the ground ; but, what is most strange, its floor, consisting of very heavy beams,_ has been driven some six yard s f ro;rl where it was. Fortunately, no instrument, except the trifling damage to the anemometer, has suffered. I am quite at a loss to account for this storm. It gave very little, if any, pretnonition of its approach I think it must have been a storm of translation, or a moving whirlwind of large radius, but of immense power. If that was its character, the same thing will be found to be the case as occurred on our last great gale, at all similar to this, when Professor Airy informed me, that at the Royal Observatory at Greenwich, the atmosphere underwent no commotion whatever. Sup posing my conjecture accurate, I would expect very serious intelligence from both coasts of Ireland ; from the west coast of England, as far south as Liverpool, and from the north. But it were quite wrong to speak dogmatically ou • so obscure a subject."—Glasgow Argus. IRISH vRODUCE. As the alleged scarcity of provisions in Ireland, and the necessary consequent inconvenience arising to the immense mass of the inhabitants of the sister kingdom, continue to occupy an important position in the councils of the Lsgis lature and the consideration of the public generally ; with a view to the adoption of the best means for its partial allevia tion, an enumeration of the list of the principal importations of provisions which have taken place within the past week, in continuation of that previously given in our columns a few days since, may prove of utility and interest. On Wednes day, the 4th inst., four vessels arrived in the liver Thames from various other ports, having on board, collectively, 2,772 packages of bacon, 675 of pork, 300 of beef, 1,015 of butter,. 885 of lard, 41 hampers of hams, 530 barrels and 450 quarters of oats, 161 barrels of porter, 55 packages of whisks., 392 of eggs, 142 of other descriptions of provisions, and 77 pigs, in addition to a quantity of malt, paper, leather, and various other articles. On the following day, the imports into the port of London, from the same quarter, consisted of 599 packages of butter, 1,062 packages of bacon, 424 of lard, 47 of pork, 700 quarters of oats, a quantity. of hams, several packages of pot atoes, and various other articles. On Friday, 1,225 packages of oats, 93 of hams, 61 of egg=, 33 of butter, 70 of bacon, 67 of matt, 51 of beef, 122 packages .of porter, a quantity of spirits, linens, and other articles the produce of the Irish sail. At the same period, the imports into Bristol from Ireland consisted of, in addition to a quantity of linens, whisky, and other articles,, 299 packages of bacon, a quantity of lard, seed, farina, 300 packages of butter, 61 of feathers, 214 bushels of oats, 37 sacks of barley, and several packages of pork. oatmeal, wheat, pollard, and malt. The following is the list of provisions imported into the port of Liverpool from the Irish ports for the past week, being from the 27th ult. to the sth inst. exclusive :-2,718 firkins,' 138 half firkins, 453 casks, and 120 boxes of butter; 2 625 barrels and 317 sacks of wheat ; 4,698 sacks of flour; 34 barrels and 150 bags of oats; 22 sacks of barley; 530 sacks, 115 other packages, and 120 barrels of oatmeal ; 250 bags of meal ; 3 barrels, 25 tierces, and 52 hhds. of hams; 497 barrels of bacon ; 28 bags of feathers; 27 casks, 26 firkins, and 1,147 kegs of lard ; 488 sacks of farina ; 501 boxes and tierces and 10 bar rels of linens and cottons; 309 barrels, 5 tierces, and 12 kegs of pork; 15 barrels of tongues; 13 barrels and 6 kegs of other descriptions of provisions; 392 sacks of malt; and 39 casks of whisky. Finally, the following articles were imported into the port of London at the commencement of the present week, viz.. 435 packages of pork, i 53 packages of butter, 684 of bacon, 88 of hams, 5 of tongues, 34 of porter, and 59 of ego, in addition to a quantity of linens and other articles, the whole being the production of the Irish soil. It will be for those most competent to form an opinion of and most in• terested in the matter to judge of the inferences deducible from the enumerations of the importations of provisions which have taken place in the course of a single week from Ireland for consumption in this country, viz., the capabilities of the country for the production of food of every description for the supply of its numerous inhabitants; and, in the secondplace, as to how they can be spared for extraneous purposes at a time when so much distress and want is stated to exist in that kingdom This is not the place to enter into a further particular consideration of the matter, otherwise it would be worth while to suppose the immense quantity of provisions which must be contained in so many large pack ages, and to draw a conclusion as to the amount of relief which the salutary distribution and disposal of them through proper channels in their native country would afford. THE DOUBLE COMET. The Paris correspondent of the Aug:burg Gazette gives the following account of a recent sitting of the French Academy of Sciences:—"Fresh communications were made respecting the double comet. According to earlier advice 3 the celestial stranger was seen on the 20th cf January in a single, and on the 28th in a double form, and it must therefore be supposed that it broke asunder in the interval ! It is now represented that it was sr en on the 12th of January, in Washington, and on the 15th in Konigsberg, as a double comet, and that accordingly the division must have taken place still earlier. On the 12th of February, both the nuclei, according to a rough calculation, were about 2,000 degrees apart from each other, and the observations made seem to intimate that the distance was increasing more and more. A second peculiarity is now added to this double form. Both nuclei stand so that a line can be drawn through them almost perpendicular to the tail, and therefore a northern and southern nucleus exists. At first the southern nucleus was far brighter than - the other, to discern which a far greater magnifying power was required ; but now the reverse is the case, and the not them neucleuq shines far brighter than the southern. What we are to gather from this matter, nobody knows. I pity the astronomers Comets were always awkward cu , tomers which gave them a great deal of trouble. This very Biela comet, however, was one of the most well-bred of the tail-stars. It went round the sun decently and orderly in two yea, s and a quarter, and only disturbed itself so far as to pre vent too close a reckoning ; and now, when it has al ready wandered for a length of time in the prescribed path of a peaceful heavenly body, it suddenly gives way, perhaps, from inward fermentation, to the most lamentable schisms and most fearful divisions. It must be deemed a real piece of good luck that the mass of such a comet is too small to exercise any considerable influence over its neighbours ; there still remains, however, the an nosing examie. At the last sitting of the academy it was affirmed that old Chinese books, still want, actually predicted similar casualties in the starry Heavens ; but this antiquated consolation appears to me at all events, insufficient, even if it proves convincingly the historical ground and the legitimate correctness of the thing." CLERICAL PUNISHMENT IN THE MIDDLE AGES.—A curious discovery was made more than a century ago, during some excavations n , ar the chapter-house, adjoining Thorn ton Abbey, Lincolnshire. It was first mentioned by Stuke ley, who visited the ruins in 1772. He says, " That upon taking down the old wall there, they found" a man with a candlestick, table, and book, who was supposed to have been immured." Tradition has always asserted that it was an ab bot who suffered this punishment. The skeleton of a man thus immured was found some years ago at Coldinahom Abbey. Another instance was recently discovered at Temple-Bruer, Lincolnshire.— The Builder. SUDDEN DEATH IN A CAl3.—On Fritlay mnrning, Hargrare, a gentleman about fotty years of age, whe resided at Birmingham, arrived nt Euston-square terminus, where he hired a cab to be conveyed to the residence of his nephew, in York-street, Bryanstone square. When the cab-driver alighted to open the door, he found the unfortunate gentleman reclining on the side of the cab, apparently asleep, but he could not arouse him. He was carried into the house and medical assistance rendered, butt all endeavours to re store animation were unavailing. _ CAUTION TO RAILWAY TRAVELLERS.—At the police court, a few days since, James Fletcher, blacksmith, of Waterloo road, Remford, was fined lOs. and costs for attempting to travel by the Eastern Counties Railway with a ticket of a prior date, and thereby to defraud the said company. DREADFUL BOILER EXPLOVON.—Two LIVES LOST. —Qn Wednesday evening, a few minutes before six o'clock, one of the most shockhig accidents that has occurred in Halifax for a num, ber of years, happened at the ironfoundry of Mr. Bethel Ansoa, situate at the top of Foundry-street, which resulted in the death Of Mr. Anson and his bookkeeper, a person named Dan Taylor. The following are the particulars of this lamentable affair. It appears that previous to commencing what is termed blow ing in a foundry, which is settting the fan in motion to heat the furnace, Anson was employed in so:ee way about the engine, and Taylor was going to him on business at the moment the explosion took place, which tore the engine boiler from its seat, and drove it completely through Mr. Pollard's house adjoining, across the next street (Grove-street), and against the houses opposite. A woman, who was washing in a cellar kitchen, was seriously cut with the splinters of stones. It providentially hap pened that the family of Mr. Pollard were up stairs at the time taking tea, and the young man happened to be in the cellar when the boiler passed through, or in all probability all of them would have been killed. Several children were hurt ; one bQ ser iously, uho was taken to the Infirmary. The body of Taylor, when found under a heap of rubbish, was quite dead. He must have been killed instantly, and Anson only survived half an hour. The place has since keen visited by thousands to view the rains. An inquest was held on a i i s t o s beingap pappeared a red nearly t o the bodies on Thursday aftern oon, at the Bridge Tavern, when it appeared In evidence that the cause of the explosion arose from a want of water in the boiler.r T the he red hot immediately after have been great blame a nd neglect on the part of the deceased .Anson, arcecwidaesnte.vidTenhecree o f who had the management of the engine; so much so, that had he not been killed, the Coroner stated it would have been his duty to have committed him on a charge of manslaughter, as he had worked the boiler without water gauge or feed-pump for a considerable time, and very frequently at a very high and dangerous pressure. The verdict was —" That Anson end Taylor were killed by the explosion of a steam-boiler, caused by a want of water."—Leeds Mercury.
