ebtrll Matter: SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. GLOUCESTER, ABERYSTWITH, AND CENTRAL WALES RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) A meeting of the scripholders in this company was held this day at the London Tavern, for the purpose of determining whether or not the company should be dissolved. After some discussion, Captain Berkeley, M.P., chair man of the company was called to the chair. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, Messrs. Clark, J. T. Saunders, and J. Bentley were appointed scrutineers. Mr. LEWIS moved that the company should be dis solved forthwith. Mr. FISHER seconded the resolution. Mr. CLARKE here read a letter he had written to the solicitor, apprising him of the present meeting, request ing his attendance, and calling upon him to furnish the accounts of the company at the meeting. The CHAIRMAN said they were prepared with the ac counts, and the reason that they (the directors) did not ca , l the meeting was, that there was a great number of the claims not settled. lie mentioned these things to show that they were anxious for, and courted inquiry. A statement of the accounts vvas then read, from which it appeared that the amount paid on the shares (in number 28,893) was 40,875/. 10s., while the claims upon the company would leave a balance of 7,7171. 15s. 10d. The CHAIRMAN said he thought that whatever opinion might be entertained, they could not decide on the ques tion of the sc,:ounts at the present meeting. Mr. LEWIS said that it was desirable that the item of 16,097/. 18s. 3d. investment should be fully and satisfac torily explained. He thought the meeting were entitled to know what these assets were, and where they were placed.—(Hear.) The CHAIRMAN said there was a difference between hi' , legal advisers on this point. The secretary was of or nion that the wishes of the meeting should be com plied with, while the counsel considered that he was not entitled to give the explanation here required. Now, he would take the advice of the former, which was in conformity with his own wishes. The only delicacy he felt in giving the explanation here required was, that the gentleman who filled the chair of the com pany before him was absent, and, consequently, unable to meet any accusations, or to explain away any suspicion. He begged leave to state that the investment was made betore he was a member of the provisional committee, or even before he belonged to the company. (Hear, hear.) That investment consisted in purchase of scrip. —(Cries of " Oh, oh.") Now, having stated so much, he must, in justice to himself, request the meeting to give him a fell hearing. The investment was made during Major Lindham's chairmanship. He would here state that he gave that gentleman full credit for the rectitude of his intentions. The fact was, those who had had the arrangement of the affairs of the company had taken upon them sAves to speculate with the funds in their possession, and to engage in that species of gambling which was had recourse to upon such occasions. In fact they were in the position of persons who had certain funds entrusted to them, which they used in a way that they considered would be most edvaritageous to the owners. If they had succeeded their zeal and trustworthiness would have been applauded, but in the present case it so happened that they were unsuccessful. He understood that not one of the directors had sold his shares. A SHAREHOLDER said that he believed such was not the case. The CHAIRMAN said, he was instructed that what he bad stated was correct. Ile trusted, in conclusion, that, as he had had no hand in the transactions of the com pany' anterior to his having become chairman, that he would be exonerated from any blame, and he trusted that the strictest scrutiny would be exercised in this matter.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. LEWIS said that he could inform the meeting that the late chairman had sold his shares, in conse quence of which several of his (Mr. L.'s) friends had been ruined. Mr. CLARKE said, he would beg to ask the chairman if the whole of the sums to which the shareholders were entitled were invested in scrip ? The CHAIRMAN replied in the affirmative. A long discussion ensued as to whether the scrip in question should be used in taking the votes. Mr. LEWIS contended that it would be extremely un fair to do so, the same having been purchased with their money, which was turning their own weapons against themselves, and proposed a resolution to the effect that the scrip should not be used. A long and desultory discussion ensued, which ended iu the meeting being adjourned, the scripholders present having adjourned, under the Act, to investigate the accounts.

The Queen has been pleased to appoint the Earl of Elgin and Kincardine to be Captain-General and Governor-in-Chief of her Majesty's provinces of Canada, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, and of the Island of Prince Edward, and Go vernor-General of all her Majesty's provinces on the Con tinent of North America, and of the Island of Prince Edward. DOWNING-STREET, SEFr. 18. The Queen has been pleased to appoint Francis Partridge, Esq. to be Deputy Commissary of Police for the Island of Mauritius. to 48s, low middling and middling 45s 6d to 46s 641, damp and washed 44s 6d to 47s 7d per cwt. MoLassEs.—A much better demand has existed for West India, 600 puns having been sold at 23s to 23s Gd for An tigua, 23s for Dominica, 21s for St. Kitts, and at 21s 6d for Tobago. Sally Kbal Treacle is fetching 21s to 21s 6d per cwt. TEA.—The market is still in an inactive state; the stock has been increased this week, but holden are unwilling to further reduce their prices, and refrain from offering any at public sale : of both black and green the trade only purchase sufficient for their immediate wants, although the clearances for home consumption continue to be large. COFFEE.—This afternoon Native Ceylon was sold to a fair extent privately at 39s to 40s for low good ordinary and or dinary pale. For Plantation the demand was limited, and 556 bags at auction were all taken in above the value, fine fine ordinary grey at 565, and fine ordinary at 545. COCOA.—West India has been in brisker request, but hav ing a fair supply at market, holders have been compelled to accept previous rates. In Foreign there has been more busi ness transacted privately, and at rather higher rates. FRUIT.—Of Currants the stock is much diminishing, none remaining in importers hands; but still the grocers, although having scarcely any on hand, do not appear disposed to pur chase much at the advanced quotation, holding back for the new, which are daily expected. Of New Valentia Raisins two cargoes arrived this week. The whole have been taken off eagerly at 425, the supply being very inadequate to the demand. RICE.—To-day there was little passing privately in Bengal Rice; at auction 321 bags were offered ; the sound was taken in at 20s for good bold white, but the damaged sold at 13s 6d to 17s 6d per cwt. Of Rio Tapioca 25 brls were disposed of at 4id per lb for good sound quality. SricF.s.—To-day Nutmegs were not much in demand, and 63 pkgs of limed at auction were only in part sold, imported from Madeira sold at 3s 6d, wormy is 4d to is 6d, Batavia, sound 3s, Bombay 3s, Rotterdam 2s 6d, Singapore 2s Ild. Mace met with little attention, and 8 chests at public sale, imported from the Cape of Good Hope, were taken in at 3s 10d to 4s, being above the value. Of Cassia Buds 64 chests were bought in at 63s to 65s 6d, and 100 bags Malabar Pepper at aid for heavy. SPIRITS.—The arivals of Rum have increased this week, and amounted to 750 pkgs of West India, and 49 pkgs of East India. Although there are sellers of Leeward Island Rum upon reduced terms, still the demand has been limited, and 2s 3d to 2s 4d are the rates taken for proof strength. Holders of Jamaica are unwilling to lower their prices, but the market has a quiet appearance. Calcutta is little wanted, and prices are lowering. For Demerara the market has a quiet appearance, but 3s 2d to 3s 5d are the rates insisted upon for strong sorts. There has been a lively demand for Brandy, chiefly from the home trade, and for all descriptions the market has a firm appearance. The deliveries are yet on the increase, and prices rule firm. Geneva has been in brisk demand for shipping at 2s 5d to 2s 6d. and at which holders are firm : fine for home con sumption is wanted at 2s 9d to 3s. British Corn Spirits have been in brisk request. COCIILNEAL.—The demand has been good for all sorts; the quantity offered at public sale amounted to 393 bags of Honduras, and nearly the whole sold at full rates, black brought 5s 10d to 6s 9d, and silvers 4s 8d to 5s 8d per lb. SA LTPETRE. —To-day at auction 1,304 bags of Calcutta were offered, and sold at 26s for fine strong grey 3 1 % per cent refraction, being lower. British Refined has been in good request privately at 29s 6d to 30s. Nitrate of Soda is less wanted, and prices are lower, 16s to 16s 6d per cwt being taken. TURPENTLNE.—For Spirits the demand has been active, and prices have improved, as the stock is diminishing, and 45s 6d to 46s are the rates given. Of Rough several parcels have been sold, and at stiffer rates, 9s 6d having been obtained. Tar has been much in request, and the supply being under that of former seasons, prices rule high. Ous.—This afternoon at public sale 550 hhds of Cochin Cocoa Nut Oil sold at 35s 3d to 37s 3d per cwt. TALLOW.—This afternoon at public sale 60 casks Odessa Ox Tallow sold at 42s to 42s 9d, loose 38s 6d, and 10 casks of Taganrog Sheep's 42s 3d to 42s 6d per cwt. SALES OF RAILWAY SHARES BY AUCTION.—(THIS DAY.) The sale of railway shares to day, at Messrs. Lamond and Co.'s, participated in the general depression ; still a fair business was done, but at lower prices. The fol lowing are a few of the principal sales .

The Duke of Wellington is not a Wellesley ; his real name is Colley ; his grandfather, Richard Colley, as sumed the name of AV esley (now modified into Wel lesley), without having a particle of the blood of that fa mily in him, but merely because he succeeded to the Wesley estates, under the will of a distant relative. The Earl of Clarendon is not a Hyde ; his only connexion with that noble family resides in the fact that his grandmother was the granddaughter of Henry Hyde, the last Earl of Clarendon of that line ; paternally the Noble Lord is Villiers. The Duke of Northumberland is not a Percy ; his real name is Smithson, and his ancestor paternally was Sir Hugh Smithson, who took the name of Percy, and re ceived the honours of that famous house under a new creation, solely because his wife's grandmother was a Percy. The Marquis of Normanby exhibits a still wider excursion in search of a title, which seems ancient, but is not really so. His Lordship has not a particle of the Mulgrave or Normanby blOod in him. His great grand mother, when she married Mr. Wm. Phipps, was the widow of Sheffield, Duke of Buckingham, who was also Marquis of Normanby and Baron Mulgrave ; thus Constantine Phipps, her son, contrived to get a re• crea tion of a title belonging to his mother's first husband, whom he had never seen, and whose descendant he was not. Lord Stafford is not a Wentworth ; Lord Wilton is not an Egerton, although he has assumed that name. Lord de Tably is not a Warren, which desig nation he now assumes ; nor is he a Leicester, which name he bore a few years ago ; he is, in truth, the descendant, paternally, of a certain Gregory Byrne, of the Queen's County in Ireland, whose successors, having married two or three Cheshire heiresses, seized upon the name of those ancient houses. The Duke of llarlborough is not a Churchill ; his real name is Spencer ; and he is only connected with the great military commander by the fact that his ancestor married the celebrated Duke's daughter. Earl Nelson is paternally a Bolton ; bis father was Thomas Bolton, and his grandmother was the immortal Nelson's sister. The Martinis of Anglesey is not a Paget—his father's name was Bayly. The surname now used by Earl de Grey is the same as his title ; a few years ago he called himself Weddell, but his real name is Robinson.—The Topic. The last published annual account of the Equitable Assurance Society shows that the directors in the yeas 1845 psid fur claims on policies 365,0001., and for addi. tions made to them 429,0001., being a total of 794,0001. At the close of that period, and after all these payments, the invested capital of the society was 5,715,000/. Three per Cents., and 4,050,0001. on mortgage. The society has lately paid claims on policies exceeding the sum originally assured, in some instances five times, and in others six times the amount. On a sum assured of 5,0001. the amount paid was 26,6101. ; and in another case fur 2,0001. an amount of 10,0401. was paid ; while in a third case for 700/. assured the amount paid was 4,9801. Among the causes which appear to have con tributed to these important results, is the reservation at each decennial division of one-third of the surplus fund for future appropriation. The amount of the additions made to the oldest 5,000 policies at the last decennial division, in 1859, was 4,094,661/., estimated to be worth in present money 2,969,502/. ; and the third reserved for future accumulation and division was 1,484,751/. The third reserved in 1799 was 225,0001. The 5,000 oldest policies, it is stated, are entitled to share in the additions; and should the life assured die before January Ist, 1850, being within such 5,000, twoand-a-half per cent. per annum on the sum assured will be added for every pre mium paid subsequently to 1839, or subsequently to the admission of the policy into the above number. The actual number of policies existing on the 31st December last was 6,537. The number of policies which have annually become claims, on an average of the last 14 years, having been 235, it is expected that all the poli cies now existing will be admitted into the number of 5,000 within the next seven years.— Times. We have to announce the death of one of the oldest servants attached to the Palace of Fontainebleau—viz., Aly, a Circassian by birth, whom Napoleon brought from Egypt, and placed among his mamelukes. He was afterwards taken into the service of the Empress Josephine, and in 1 , 805 sent to Fontainebleau as garcon d'appartement, a position he preserved till his death.— Paris Paper. EGYPTIAN BAR LEY.—We have b een f avoure d w i th a few stalks of this favourite grain of the Nile, grown in the garden plot of Mr. John Bowie, New Richmond Cottage, Fochabers. The barley was first planted about three years ago, from a few grains, whi c h i n d ue course, sprouted up to maturity ; and subsequently additional produce rewarded the exertions of the cultivator. Ia order to show the rich produce of this species, from one seed seventy-two grains were counted last year ; and, this season, twenty-two stems are growi ng f rom one root ! The barley is quinquangular shaped_. having five corners ; and in approaching . the ripening, has a very beautiful appearance. The spike is nut so thick as the square barley or bigg, chiefly cultivated in England and Scotland ; but the calyx, husk, awn, and fl , ),ver, more resemble rye—the flour is, in leed, very tine. We question much, however, if it could be pro duced to any great perfection in this country, as en alternate soft and warm soil and climate arc imperatively necessary for its cultivation. Mr. Bowie, we understand, has sufficient seed of this grain to plant three acres. — Elgin Courant. IRISH ORE.—A vessel arrived in the river from Belfast, has brought the large quantity of fifty-one tons weight of lead ore, the production of that part of the sister kingdom. The Royal Academy of Sciences of Berlin has elected as a corresponding member M. J. P. Secchi, a Jesuit of Rome. This is said to be the first instance of a Jesuit becoming a member of the Berlin Academy. Bordeaux was visited by a violent storm during the night of the 9th. The rain fell in such torrents that for more than an hour the streets were perfectly impassable. At Lajarre, near Saintes, the light ning struck the mallepost and overturned it. The courier had both his arms broken by the fall. The horses released themselves from their harness, and ran off. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. George Read, Alderman Wilson's coachman, was brought before Alderman Gibbs charged with having threatened to murder Mary Hill, his fellow-servant, waiting-maid to Mrs. 'Wilson. Mr. Humphreys, who attended for the prosecution, stated that the complainant had been many years in the service of Alderman Wilson's lady, and that the pri soner had been the Alderman's coachman for but a com paratively short period. The prisoner had by his atten tion engaged the affections of the young woman, who was a person of most excellent character and highly re spected in the family in which she served. Having, however, learned beyond all doubt that the man who had thus ingratiated himself was a married man and the father of a number of children, she, of course, rejected any further acquaintance, beyond that which ordinarily existed between fellow-servants, and the prisoner exas perated at the disappointment threatened to destroy her, and she had every reason to believe that he would per form his promise, if allowed to carry into c ffect his pre sent intention. A letter could be produced which clearly showed that the prisoner was a married man, but as it was not legal evidence it could not, without the consent of the prisoner, be read. Alderman GIBBs asked whether the complainant and the prisoner were to have been married ? Mr. Humphreys replied that they were ; and he be lieved all the necessary preparations had been made, when the prisoner's wife interfered. The complainant refused to have anything more to do with him, and he threatened to shoot her, and then himself. The prisoner—Did she break open the seal of a letter of mine ? Mr. Humphreys—You have no right to ask any quec tions of the kind. It was here stated that there was no evidence of any thing of the kind. Mr. Humphreys—l am ready to read the letter I have alluded to, if the prisoner has no objection. The prisoner—l do not wish the letter to be read. Alderman GIBBS —She says you are a married man. The prisoner (smiling)—l am not. Alderman GIBBS—She says you have threatened her life. The prisoner—l deny it. Mr. Humphreys-1f this letter be a falsehood, I shall give the prisoner an opportunity of punishing the writer. Mary Hills was then called and sworn. She stated that the prisoner said if she refused to marry him he would carry pistols about him for twelvemonths, and follow her to church to destroy her, as he did not care about getting hung for her, he was so fond of her. Alderman GIBBS—When did he last say anything of the kind? Witness—On Thursday last. He said he'd follow me to the Sydenham station and take my life. The prisoner —Did I offer to take your life? Witness —You threatened to do so. Alderman GIBBS called upon the prisoner to find bail, himself in 401., and two sureties in 301. each, to keep the peace for twelve months. The prisoner—l cannot find bail. The prisoner was then committed to prison. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ALLEGED FAVOURITISM BY THE POLICE.—A batch of omnibus drivers were summoned by the police for stop ping at the White Horse Cellar, Piccadilly, longer than was necessary to set down or take up passengerc. Amongst these summonses was one against Andrew Fletcher, the driver of a Richmond omnibus. Police-constable C 134 proved that on the day stated in the summons the c'efendant stopped before the White Horse Cellar, Piccadilly, for two minutes, during whicl• time he neither took up nor set down passengers. In defence, the driver said the police stationed at the White Horse Cellar, from some cause which they alone could explain, chose to favour the Hammersmith omni buses, and to deal oppressively with the Richmond om nibuses. The first were allowed to stop at the White Horse Cellar without limit; the last were hardly allowed to draw up before the office. The species of favouritism was known to and protested against by several of those gentlemen who resided at Richmond, and who were in the habit of riding with him. He denied that he stopped longer than was necessary, and he had 'evidence to estab lish that fact. The defendant first produced a letter from a gntleman at Richmond, named Wall, which stated that the defen dant had not stopped, as the summons declared, longer in Piccadilly than was absolutely necessary. Two witnesses, Mr. Godfrey Dyne, of Bolton House, Turnham- green, and Mr. Whitby, of Richmond, deposed to the same effect, and expressed their belief that par tiality was exercised by the police in the cases of the Richmond and Hammersmith omnibuses. Inspector Aggs, C division, said he was entirely igno rant of the suspicion of partiality entertained against the police. He could assure the Bench the police had no au thority to show favour to any party. The constables were to treat all alike, and as some proof that this par tiality was imaginary, be would just mention that the very next summons the Court would be called upon to hear was one against the driver of a Hammersmith omni bus for loitering. Mr. HARDWICK readily acquitted the superintendent and inspectors of any intention to act otherwise than with the utmost fairness; but as the impression of par tiality appeared to be shared by so many respectable witnesses, he could not help thinking there must be some ground for the belief. The defendant had been sum• moned for stopping two minutes only, and respectable witnesses had sworn that during that time the defendant was engaged in the business of the omnibus. Now he thought that it was attempting to carry out the Act in a spirit and manner foreign to its real intention, for the police to summon a person for stopping so short a time, and more especially when the convenience of the public appeared to require that this temporary stopping should occur. Under the circumstances of the case he must dis miss the summons. A second summons against the same defendant for a like offence was also dismissed. SOUTHWARK. Yesterday Frederick Dixon, a man of respectable ap pearance, appeared before Mr. Combo on a charge of absconding with the wife of James Williams, a milk man, of Portsmouth-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields, and stealing a portrait painting, a Bible, and other articles. The complainant stated that about three years ago he engaged the prisoner as his clerk, and in five months afterwards, business calling him into the country, he left home. His business being finished in a month, he returned to town, when to his great surprise and morti fication he found that his wife had eloped with the pri soner, after having ransacked his house of a consider able quantity of property. Ho had made repeated in quiries after the fugitives, but could obtain no precise information about them until last Friday evenin g , wh en he discovered the prisoner was living in the Broadway, St. Thomas's Hospital. On the following morning he went to the prisoner's place of abode, and finding several articles his property, and which had been taken from his house at the period his wife eloped, accordingly gave the prisoner into custody. The prisoner, in the most indignant manner, re pelled the charge, and said th at h e never acte d as clerk to the complainant, who merely employed him in his capacity of accountant, he (the complainant) being at the time an uncertificated bankrupt. That with respect to the complainant's wife, she had been treated in a shameful manner by him, and his conduct was so hal to her that she determined not to remain any longer under his roof, and accordingly quitted his house without a shilling. At that period ho (prisoner) was living in the district of Queen square, and out of compession admitt e d th e p oor woman i nto hi s house from pure motives of humanity, and no other feeling. That the complainant knew perfectly well where his wife had taken refuge, and, as a proof of this being the case, about 18 months ,go he (prisoner) gave him in charge for creating a disturbance in front of his house. The next morning he was taken before Mr. Bond, at Queen-squaro, and punished by the in fl iction of a fi ne , which he (prisoner) subsequently paid for him, not hav ing the money himself, in order to prevent him from being, sent to gaol. The MAGISTRATE said that he was very much in clined to believe the prisoner's statement of the aff a i r , h e having ad m itted, without disguise, that the few articles found at his house were brought there by the prisoner', wife, at the time it was alleged she was compelled to abandon her home. However, without the pro duction of much stronger evidence he (the Magistrate) should not think of sending the case before a jury, but merely continue the accused's recognisances to appear when called on. protector was himself a party to the infamous outrage, she instantly ran to the window and implored the as sistance of a constable who happened to be passing, and having admitted him into the house, gave the prisoner into custody. Police-constable IC 217 stated that while the last wit ness was relating to him the particulars of the transac tion, the prisoner, who was accompanied by her husband, came down stairs ; and on asking him it he bad been invited there by the latter, he answered in the negative, and said he had been admitted by another man. Witness then asked the husband if he wished to give the prisoner into custody for being found on his premises, to which he replied carelessly that he knew nothing about the matter, and had no charge to prefer. The wife, however; who appeared excessively shocked and agitated at the indignity she had suffered, insisted upon pressing the charge herself, and the prisoner was accordingly con veyed to the station. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that be had been drinking freely, and was unable to explain how he got int , ) the house or anythi ng th at su b sequent l y occurred. Mr. 13noucaTosr characterised the case as one of the most flagrant that had come under his cognizance, and said, that on a review of all the circumstances, he could come to no other conclusion than that the husband had been accessory to the whole transaction for the further ance of some ulterior object, the nature of which was sufficiently obvious. He considered the prisoner's defence an aggravation of his conduct, and should therefore, order him to be committed at once for a criminal assault, and direct the immediate apprehension of the husbane, to answer for the previous ill-usage to Nards his unfortunate wife. STARVATION IN LEWES GAOL. The Sussex magistrates, living in the vicinity of Lewes, and most of whom are visiting justices of the House of Correction, held a meeting at the County Hall, for the purpose of investigating the circumstances con nected with the death of James Allen, on whose body an inquest was held on Monday week. The magistrates present were the Earl of Chicester, Mr. Sergeant D'Oyley, Sir H. Shiffner, Bart., Mr. Blackman, Mr. Molintaux, and Mr. J. G. Blencowe. The meeting took place at the termination of the usual business of the weekly petty sessions, and the reporters of the local press having left, Lord Chichester expressed his regret at the circumstance; whereupon a message was sent to the offices of the two Sussex papers, published in Lewes, and in a few minutes reporters from those papers were in attendance. On the arrival of the representatives of the press, an examination of the officers of the gaol com•- tnenced ; but in order to refresh the minds of our readers with the circumstances of the case, we first give a sum mary of that portion of the evidence adduced at the inquest, which shows the cause of the inquest being held, and which will be necessary to render the present examination intelligible. Our readers, we take for granted, remember that the verdict attributed the death of the deceased to the rigorous enforcement of his sentence of eight months' hard labour, interspersed, as it was, with nine separate weeks of solitary confinement, combined with the insufficiency of the prison diet. The father and sister of the deceased deposed at the inquest that the deceased entered the prison as a healthy man, never having had a day's illness ; that at the end of six months they were, for the first time, ad mitted to an interview with him, when they saw him looking very ill, but that he made no complaint to them, the governor of the gaol being present at the interview ; that when the deceased came out of gaol at the end of his eight months' imprisonment, he was very weak; that he suffered much from diarrhoea, and soon afterwards died, notwithstanding that he was attended by. Mr. Ver rall, the parish surgeon at Brighton, and at his recom mendation was supplied by the directors and guardians with all the nourishment which his case required ; that while on his deathbed he stated, that in the gaol he was very weak, that the food was not enough for him, that when the prisoners had what was called soup, it was only " skilly," that no meat could be seen in it, but that there were bits of something resembling cow's udder boiled up; that he complained to the surgeon and the chaplain of weakness and illness, but was told that he must work at the treadmill; and that one day he was so ill that he could not go to the treadmill; and that in consequence lie was placed in the woodhouse, where the flesh peeled off his hands, and that notwithstanding he was obliged to work. He stated further, while on his deathbed, that when he was in solitary confinement he was very ill, and that from six o'clock in the morning till six o'clock at night his bed was taken from him, and that when he could not sit on the edge of the bedstead he was obliged to be on the cold stones or boulders. Ile thought he should have died, as there was no one to see; and he asked the doctor if he could not give him any thing for weakness in the inside; when the doctor gave him some pills which did him no good. He told the man who was over him in the woodhouse, that the flesh came off his band, on hearing which the man said he must work or be reported. When they sent him to chapel he was so hungry that he could not listen to What the minister said, and if he dropped a crumb while eat ing his bread, so hungry was he that he would after wards cross his cell to pick it up. This was the evidence, a rumour of which led to the inquest. In addition, Mr. W. Verrall, of Brighton, sur geon, deposed that when the deceased came out of pri son he was suffering from diarrhoea and disease of the lungs, for which he (witness) attended him almost daily, being, however, satisfied from the first that there was no chance of recovery. The disease of the chest appeared to have existed a considerable time, and from a post mortem examination witness thought it was of five or six months' standing. A man with such a disease was unfit for hard labour or solitary confinement, and paucity of food would tend to aggravate the disease. Such dis eases required a generous diet. It was to meet this evidence that the magistrates now examined witnesses, but not on oath. We subjoin an abstract of their statements:— Mr. John Sanders, governor of the Lewes House of Correction, stated—James Allen, the deceased, was on bail before his trial, and he came into my castody on the 27th of November, the day of the adjourned Michaelmas sessions, for stealing 25., the property of Mr. L. Slight, clerk of the commissioners at Brighton, from a desk in the Town-hall. He was sentenced to eight calendar months' hard labour, except the first week of every month and the last week of his sentence, which was in solitary confinement. He was discharged on Saturday, the '2sth of July. The greater part of his time he was on the treadmill, besides the pump, and other labour. He never complained to me of inability to work, or of insuffi ciency of food. I saw him every day, and sometimes twice or more. When in solitary confinement, he was in a boarded cell with the exception of two or three weeks, when he remained in a cell having a stone floor. He had a wooden bedstead, and need not lie upon the stone floor. There is no floor with boulders. The stone floors are flat, the cell having the stone floor was in the upper part of the prison, and very dry. He was never taken from the wheel to the woodhouse, except in his turn, and never for lighter work. He had a cough sometimes in July, for which he was treated by the surgeon. I saw him leave the prison, and meet his friends outside. His friends had visited him in the beginning of June ; they made no remark to me as to his appearance or treatment. The meat in the soup is from clods cut up into small pieces. It was always beef clods, stickings, and shins. There were no pieces of cow's udder in it, or anything like cow's udder. It is wrong to say he was obliged to sit upen the stone floor. He might sit upon the bedstead or water-closet, the lid of which is a good wooden seat. I have no reason to think he ever complained to a turnkey. The turnkey would have re ported it to me if he had. The dietary consists of 1,34 b. of good wheaten bread, made of the best seconds flour, two pints of gruel, 11 oz. of meal (flour and oatmeal mixed) to each pint, one pint of soup, 3 oz of meat (beef), without bone, 1 oz. of mixed meal, 2 oz. of pota toes, and leeks or onions to flavour it, to each pint. This is for the first three months. After three months 11b. of potatoes is allowed daily, in addition. The witness having signed his examination, the next witness was called. Mr. H. Turner, surgeon, deposed—l saw Allen when he first came into the prison. He was in good health. Two months after he came in he laboured under a gonorrhoea. I treated him for it accordingly. He was very anxious about his complaint. His diet was 1 fib. of bread a day, one pint of soup, and two pints of gruel. The soup contains three ounces of meat without bone, one ounce of mixed meal, two ounces of potatoes, and leeks or onions to flavour it to each pint. This is for the first three months; after wards 11b. of potatoes was given daily in addition. I have often tasted the soup; it is very good; no cottager ever gets better. There could be no cow's udder in it. It is good nutritious food, with three ounces of meat in each pint. The soup is always stirred up, so that each prisoner may have an equal quantity of meat. Allen was from six weeks to two months labouring under the com plaint of which I have spoken. He was treated by me accordingly. No obstacle has ever been thrown in the way of increased diet. I have ordered, and my instruc tions are to order, extra diet, if I think it necessary. I consider one pound of potatoes as a great addition. The prisoners are thankful for it. A prisoner now in the gaol is having porter and mutton every day. The de ceased complained of cough on the Bth of July. He had complained on the 20th of June of spasms in the stomach, for which I treated him and cured him, and at the end of June he said he was well. I prescribed for his cough on the Bth of July, ar.d never afterwards. He never complained of diarrhoea. I saw him the day before he went out. I have seen him on the wheel, and he made no complaint that he was unable to work. The turnkey would report every case of weakness of a prisoner on the wheel, and I should immediately attend to it. I cannot imagine the diet insufficient. The dietary agrees very well with the prisoners generally. Free drinkers would feel it most. There is an alteration of diet from the labour to the solitary cell of 21 ounces a day out of 49. They do not have the soup and potatoes in solitary. I have not seen the prisoners suffer from this change of diet in solitary confinement. The Rev. Richard Burnett, ehaplain to the House of Correction, &posed--I have a distinct recollection of Allen's case. I saw the first entry in the surgeon's book of some complaint. I asked him if he had any complaint, and he said he had not. He was low-spirited in solitary confinement. He was naturally silent. Ho could not read when he came in. He atteaded my school, and learned to read and acquired information. He made no complaint to me whatever. Mr. Turner being recalled, and questioned by the magistrate, said the prisoner seemed to suffer more in his mind than anything else. After this evidence had been adduced, ,we understand that the magistrates expressed themselves satisfied with the officers of the prison. We may, however, add, that all these witnesses were examined before the coroner's jury, who returned as their verdict that death was occa sioned by the rigour of the sentence and the insufficiency of the diet. Sir Henry Shiffner has given notice that he shall bring the subject before the magistrates at the Michaelmas Quarter Sesoions. TREATMENT OF THE POOR IN ST. PANCRAS WORKHOUSE. -MEETING OF THE VESTRY. A meeting of the vestry of St. Pancras took place on Wednesday, at the Vestry-rooms, Gordon-square, at which a long and stormy discussion ensued concerning the recent charges made before a coroner's jury (in the case of Mary Ann Jones, the pauper, who committed suicide) against the authorities of St. Pancras Work house, and as to the general treatment of the poor therein. Mr. Churchwarden Wagstaff was u s the chair, and the foreman of the jury referred to cad several ratepayers were present to watch the proceedings. The first business was to levy a rate for the relief of the poor for the ensuing half-year, and an eh venpenny rate having been proposed, and the various estimates read, Mr. LEWIS called the attention of the vestry to the recent charges made in the public press with reference to the treatment of the poor in their workhouse— charges which, if true, reflected not only discredit upon those who had the management of the workhouse, but upon the vestry, and indeed the entire parish. He learned that the board of directors were instituting an investigation into the treatment of the poor in the women's " shed."—(Cries of " There is no shed.") He thought the men's oakum room equally demanded investigation.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") One case would suffice—it was that of John Mackenzie. This poor young man was of weak intellect. He was a pianoforte maker by trade, and had been occasionally an inmate of the workhouse for the last three years ; he was out the last time for three or four months, but whenever he re turned to the workhouse, although he had never com mitted the slightest offence, he was consigned to the oakum room, and made the companion of vagabond. Mackenzie's master and other gentlemen were at that moment present in the vestry-room, and could speak to the excellence of his character. The poor fellow's mind had become so affected by the position in which he was placed, that he had written to Mr. Elsart, his master, to say that unless removed from the oakum shed he would destroy himself. Was this, he would ask, proper treat ment in such a case? He (Mr. Lewis) also understood they put the poor in a dirty cellar or black hole. Mr. GooDwIN (a director)--The black hole is as clean as this room. Lis a clean whitewashed kitchen. Mr. DOUGLAS said he would be boundiCo — say that there was some strong reason for Mackenzie being sent to the oakum room. Mr. LEWIS moved a resolution calling upon the direc tors to make an inquiry into the case of John Macken zie. Under what circumstances he came into the oakum shed, how long and why he is still detained there. The motion having been seconded, Mr. MANN said he considered the inquiry should be made general, and that an individual case should not be selected. A full and fair explanation to the ratepayers and the public was demanded. The CHAIRMAN said the board of directors were at the present time pursuing an inquiry into the whole manage ment of the house. Mr. HOWELL considered the inquiry going on by the beard of directors a partial one. They were themselves inculpated in the matter, and had constituted them selves the judges in their own case. He considered the only satisfactory mode to be pursued was:to have a com mittee appointed on the part of the vestry, and another on the part of the rate-payers, to go into the whole mat ter.—(Hear, hear.) The CHAIRMAN considered the board of directors could not be charged with conducting their inquiry unfairly. The doors of the board room were open to vestrymen and rate-payers, and there were three reporters for the press present taking notes of their proceedings. _ _ _ - Mr. BRIGHTON considered the more rigid and general the inquiry was made, the more satisfactory it would prove to the rate-payers. It would also be more satis factory if the vestry, who were the representatives of the rate-payers, made the investigation. He would move, as an amendment, " that ten members of the vestry be selected to carry out the necessary inquiry, with the di rectors of the poor." Mr. MANN seconded the amendment. Mr. Churchwarden HOWARTH denied that the board of directors were in any way implicated themselves in the charges made. Many of the regulations had existed for thirty years, and the board was a perfectly com petent tribunal to inquire into the general discipline of the workhouse and the conduct of their officers. With respect to the appointment of vestrymen, the board were an independent body, and could not legally act with them.—(Oh, oh.) The vestry, if they thought proper, could appoint a committee of their own, but if they did so it would imply a wunt of confidence in the di rectors. Mr. GOODWIN admitted that the guardians, as also the vestry, were remotely mixed up in the charges made, but at the same time he thought the interference of the vestry premature. Mr. T. H. SMITH, as a director, was desirous of every pubbcity, and if the amendment was withdrawn, he should call upon the vestry clerk to issue a summons calling upon the whole of the vestry to attend the next investigation by the board of directors.---(Hear, hear.) Mr. HOWARTH hardly saw the necessity, as the board had determined, at the conclusion of their evidence on Tuesday, merely to meet on the next occasion to consider their report. The amendment having been withdrawn, the original resolution was put and carried. Mr. SMITH said, after the statements about the report, he would now move that a committee be appointed to inquire into the conduct of the directors, the rules and regulations, and general management of St. Pancras workhouse. The CHAIRMAN announced that it was ten minutes past four o'clock, and notice not having been given of the motion, he could not receive it. The vestry then broke up. THE EARL OF RIPON AND THE REV. MR. CROWTHER. Mr. Crowther has addressed the following letter to the Editor of the Times, in reply to the defence of the Earl of Ripon's solicitor, of that Nobleman's conduct : Sir,—l have this moment seen a letter in your paper of the 12th from Mr. Pearson, of Sleaford, the solicitor of Lord Ripon, which letter he states he writes by his Lordship's directions. In that letter he states, " although Lord Ripon had nothing to do with Mr. Crowther's appointment, he, nevertheless, (the Vicarage-house not being then vacant), put him in posse-sion of furnished apartments, rent free, and paid 401. towards his salary as curate." After this public statement from Lord Ripon, the public will, per haps, be surprised when I state that, instead of having the furnished apartments "rent free," I virtually paid 301. a year for the rent of the same. The stipend to which I was legally entitled was 1201., instead of which I only received 90/. ; and my vicar, the Rev. W. T. Marsh, in one of his letters tells me that the remaining 30/. he considers fully made up by the furnished apart ments which Lord Ripon had provided for his conve- nience. With respect to the other assertion of Lord Ripont that he paid 401. towards my salary, I can only say i is the first time I ever heard that he contributed any thing towards my stipend ; and if he did so, it must have been paid to the vicar, the Rev. W. T. Marsh, who, and who alone, was benefited by it, as I never received one farthing, either directly or indirectly, from his Lordship. I remain, Sir, yours very respectfully, HENRY CROWTHER. The Rectory, Waddington, Lincoln, Sept. 14. P.S. I would add, that I know Lord Ripon is fully aware that I was virtually paying the 30/. a year for his furnished apartments, because in September, 1845, I sent one of his..principal tenants (Mr. Cartwright), in whose house I resided, with the newspaper to Lord Ripon, con taining Mr. Marsh's advertisement offering 901. a year and a furnished house ; and he told Lord Ripon, by my direction, that Mr. Marsh considered himself entitled to deduct the 30/. for the apartments. DISTRESSING A CCIDE NT IN T HE WEST INDIA n o n n e Y t the body su.e—e Queen's s H t e e r a d d a , y p a o n p l i a n rr, b e e s f t o w r e a held r a . t u M a r k . e F r body of John Wood, a labourer, aged 50, who was killed on board the Maria Hardy, a brig from Jamaica, lying in the West India, Import Dock. It appeared from the evidence, that on Tuesday afternoon last the deceased was in the after hold, under the half deck, engaged in the delivery of the cargo, when a beam which supported 'the moor of the half deck over the hold gave a ay, and fell with a loud crash, taking with it about half a ton of coffee, ginger, and other merchandise, the whole of which fell upon the unfortunate deceased. Several la bourers immediately went to his assistance, and in about twenty minutes afterwards they succeeded in removing the mass. The deceased was found ``sitting on a cask with his head and shoulders bent down, and a heavy beam, which had crushed him, lying across his neck. The poor fellow exhibited no signs of life, and he was taken to the guard-house, where he was examined by Mr. Pritchett, a surgeon, who pronounced him to be quite dead. His skull was fractured, and there was an extensive bruise on the neck. The beam which supported the flooring of the half-deck and cabin was cracked in Jamaica, and was not capable of supporting the heavy weight placed on it. Mr. Dixon, the superintendent of the dock com pany's police, who attended to watch the proceedings, produced the remains of the beam, and an old fracture was evident. The extra weight of the men sent on board the Maria Hardy to deliver the cargo might have caused the flooring to give way. The jury appeared to be of' opinion that sufficient caution had not been used. The Coroner said the jury could not levy a _rine, because deodands had been recently abolished, and unless there was culpable negligence the jury were not empowered to return a verdict of manslaughter. The law of deodands he always thought a good one, and a check upon people not to trifle with human life. There was, however, an other Act recently passed, which would in some measure counterbalance any evils that might arise from the aboli tion of deodands. The executors or administrators of deceased persons killed by accident could maintain an action against the parties guilty of negligence, and re cover damages. The jury then returned a verdict of " Accidental death." SEIZURE FOR RENT.-THREATENING NOTICES.- Notices were posted on several chapel doors on Sunday, stating that auctions for the non-payment of rent were to be held in various places on the following Monday and Tuesday, and directing all the men in the district to leave their work and give their attendance at the auc tions, and to fail not at thei r p er il! N ot i ces were also posted on the doors of the stewards of several of the gentry in the neighbourhood. An auction of corn was to have taken place on Tuesday, for non-payment of rent due to James Willington, Esq. In consequence of the determination of the people to resist the sale, it was postponed for a week, in order to apply to the authorities for a military force to effect a sale.—Nenagh Guardian. GRAPES FROM HOLLAND.—Yesterday afternoon, 500 baskets of Dutch grapes, ex Rainbow, from Holland, were landed at the Custom House Quays. Upwards of 3,000 baskets of this fruit have been im ported from Hamburgh and Rotterdam within the last few days.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of September 18.) SUGAR.—To-day no further advance took place in the value of Sugar subject to the 14s per cwt ; but the trade are still inclined to increase their stocks, and merchants dis played firmness. In the West India market a good business was transacted, and the rates given were fully equal to those previously current for all kinds; the quantity sold amounted to 600, making the total sales for the week 2,890 lalads and trcs. REFINED.—To-day Refined goods were largely dealt in by the home trade ; brown lumps according to quality brought 625 61 to 633 6d, and standard lumps 643 to 64s 6d per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar is held for higher rates, 33s 3d to 335 Gd being zsiced for first quality, but at present there are not many buyers. ,11Au1imus.—There has been an increased desire evinced to operate in all descriptions this week, and by private con tract several parcels have been disposed of, in all 3,000 bags. The rates paid in some cases are rather above those previously current, and the market has been less freely supplied. FOREIGN.—This afternoon there was little business trans acted privately in Foreign Sugar, but prices remain much the same as previously. Of China 2,668 bags were offered at auction, and sold at very full rates, low middling white rather soft fetching 50a to 50s 6d, damp 49s 6d to 502, washed 49s to 508, low middling yellow rather soft 46s to 46s 6d, damp 45s t• 458 Ed, and washed 44s 6d per cwt. :EAST INDIA.—This afternoon Bengal Sugar was in excel lent request, and two parcels offered at auction amounting to 1,694 bags were all sold, and brought stiff rates, fine grainy white like Cossipore fetched 60s to 6ls 6d, damp 60s, sugar drainage damaged 575, fine sound yellow like Dobah 565, damp 52s to 565, Benares, fine white 545, good 52s 6d to 535, damp tas 6d to 53s 6d, washed 51s 6d, ordinary soft yellow 43s to 455, good =ladling along yellow like Alaurititta 47s 6d LAMBETH. SIX WEEKS AFTER MARRlAGE.—Yesterday James Milner was brought before Mr. Elliott, charged with violently assaulting and threatening the life of Mary, his wife. The complainant deposed that about six weeks ago, and while carrying on a good business in a beer-shop in Alfred-place, Old Kent-road, she unfortunately, and contrary to the wish of all her friends, married the de fendant. At the time he had scarcely a shoe to his feet, but he had no sooner become master of the place, than lie began to ill-treat herself and her children in the most brutal manner. On the second day after their marriage he gave her two black eyes; had frequently since beaten her violently, and threatened her life ; and on that morning had brought a man to the door to carry away all her goods. The complainant spoke to various acts of personal violence by her husband, and was fully corroborated by a respectable witness, when the defendant was convicted in a penalty of 51. for the assault, or one month's im prisonment ; and also ordered to find bail for his good behaviour fur two months more. WORSHIP-STREET. FLAGRANT OUTRAGE.—Thomas Byrne, a well-dressed middle-aged man, was charged before Mr. Broughton with having committed an aggravated assault upon a married woman named Caroline Spitler, residing in Charles -street, Mile- end- road. To elucidate the extraordinary features of the case it is necessary to premise that the prosecutrix attended on Tuesday last at this court, and complained to the magistrate of a long-continued series of ill-usage she had sustained at the hands of her husband, who had ' beaten her in a most cruel manner on the preceding evening, and ultimately flung her out into the street, where he kicked hor about the lower part of her person until she became insensible. The magistrate imme diately ordered a warrant to be issued, and appointed the following Friday for the investigation. The prosecutrix now stated that since she made her application at this court she had lived on the most un happy terms with her husband, who got up at four o'clock that morning, and proceeded hastily down stairs, )on after which she again fell asleep. About five o'clock, howev er , s h e was awoke by some one grasping hold of her, and observed the prisoner, who was an en tire stranger to her, lying at her side, whilst her hus band was stretched across the foot of the bed, apparently asleep. She appealed to her husband for protection, but instead of affording her assistance, he addressed a slang expression to the prisoner, calling him a fool, and urging his immediate escape.
