ROYAL MAIL STEAM-PACKET COMPANY. A general half:yearly meeting of the directors and proprietors of this company was held, at one o ' clock.. in terday,ay, at the London Tavern. Notwithstandng nthe auspicious state of the weather, a considers 1 of proprietors attended. Thomas Baring' q.' occupied the chair. Th e CHAIRMAN said, owing had been requ ested to the absencee of the w Chairman of the company, he take the chair on th at occasion. He did not know that _ it was necessary fo r him, at the commencement of the meeting, to make any other o bservations beyond ns con gratulating the proprietors u pon the regular ope i ratio of the compe.ny, and upon ts favourable prospects. He then called upon the Secretary to read the report and financial statement. The report set forth that, at the corresponding meet ing last year, the directors announced that they had succeeded in arranging with her Majesty's Government the preliminaries of an amended contract for the com pany, placing its affairs upon a more satisfactory basis, and they may now add that the new agr eement has since received the formal ratification of both parties. The company's ships continue to arrive and depart at the various places, both abroad and at home, with the greatest regularity, and the manner in which the ser vice is conducted appears to afford general satisfaction. Since the last meeting of the prop rietors the contem plated arrangements for conveying passengers and treasure across the Isthmus of Panama have been com pleted; and other means are also in progress for faci litating to the utmost this important traffic. The additional number of persons travelling by the com pany's ships have rendered it necessary to extend the cabin accommodation, which has entailed considerable expense on the company, but this will no doubt be fully compensated by increasing the receipts. The amount now invested on the insurance account is 50,773 L 45., in Three-and-a-Quarter per Cent. Stock, and the claims hitherto against this fund have been very inconsiderable. It will be observed that upon the total expenditure the working account now presented shows an augmentation over that of the first six months of last year, amounting to 3,8631. 3s. Id, which arises principally from an increase under the head of "provisions," occasioned by the greater number of passengers • and it affords the director s much gratifica tion that they are enabled to exhibit an augmentation in the receipts, amounting to 10,3321. 18s. 11d., showing therefore an increased surplus of 6,469/. 15s. 10d. over the corresponding period of last year. Looking at this steady improvement in the company's finances, and having no reason to doubt its continuance for the subse quent six months of the present year, the directors feel justified in proposing an addition of five shillings per share to the dividend, making it for the half-year ended 30th June last, IL 15s. per share, to be paid free of de duction on and after the 19th inst. The financial statement submitted to the proprietors showed' the disbursements for the half-year, from the Ist of January to the 30 th of June last, to be 146,123/. 6s. 3d., and the receipts for the same period 195,0141. 16s. 4d., leaving a surplus, 48,8911. 10s. Id., being a net increase of 6,46 9 /. 15s. I. over the preceding half-year. The CHAIRMAN moved the adoption of the report. Mr. llinoway seconded the motion. He said he was one of the original proprietors of the company, and that be held 25 shares ; and, therefore, whatever he might say with respect to its affairs, or the proceedings of the directors, was only dictated by one feeling— namely, the good of the undertaking in which they had embarked their capital. He did not hesitate to state that in his opinion there were many grounds for bringing some grave accusations against the directors. During the last few months their income bad been ma terially increased—perhaps the directors did not think it proper to mention this important fact to the pro prietors, but it was right they should know that a great increase had taken place to their income during the last few months. He wished therefore to have a reply to this question, whether or not in the course of we month, August. since the making up of the accounts te the 30th - of June, the profits had been greater than during the entire preceding half-year?—(Several directors, " No, no.") If be was not correct in this assumption at any rate the increased profits formed a very large item ; and the fact was one, as he had said, of which the proprietary ought not to be kept in ignorance, especially as it was of a nature to encourage those alio had supported the company under all the disadvantages under which it had formerly laboured. In the report presented at the 3ast meeting the shareholders were informed that the profits had materially increased; and an Honourable Proprietor who was present on that occask n—Mr . Stuart—expressed an opinion to the effect that the dividend ought, on the showing of the accounts, to be at least seven and a half per cent. Now those who had borne the brunt of this great undertaking ought not to be left with the small additional increase on their divi dends of the half-year mentioned in the report. They ought to have some benefit from the capital they had invested, and not be left to t h e fluc tuations of the money market, for the cote piny had stood well amidst the difficulties which had attended all joint-stock companies during the last few years. To show the increased value of their Shares, he might state that some time ago he bought some shares at 121., on which 60/. had been paid, and alttfough they were purchased at so small a rate, the) were of great value in the market at the present moment. .4t. very large fund had been reserved to meet an: Arsualties that might occur to the company's ships, bu: it appeared to him that they had a sufficiently ample reserve fund to meet any exigency that might occur. wjthout adding to that fund what ought legitimately to be applied to the dividend fund. The report stated that the new arrangements the directors had made had given great satisfaction ; still he had heard complaints made by parties that they bad been shifted during their journey from one boat to another, and that their position in one ship was altered when they were removed to an other. 'Unquestionably this was a course which entailed the greatest inconvenience upon their passengers, par ticularly upon ladies. There were also complaints that the wine was of an inferior quality. Though he had named this on a former occasion, and though it was treated as an immaterial matter, still he thought it was a matter of the utmost importance.—(Hear.) There should be no ground of complaint on this head, because the passengers paid a good price, and it was to the ad vantage of company to induce them to patronise them as much as possible. However, they could not ob ject to the reception of the report ; he hoped, however, that something would be done before long—before the next meeting. Perhaps before then the directors would voluntarily declare an increased dividend in the shape of a bonus. The CHAIRMAN explained that the increase of dividend for the half-year was ss. on every share of 601., or 3L 10s. per share. He (Mr. Ridgway) was wrong in saying that there was only quarter increase.—(Mr. Ridgway intimated that he did not say so.) The Hon. Proprietor had been moat censorius for many years, so much so 'that he was the last person from whom he should have expected a recommendation to increase the dividend, inasmuch as no one was so prolific of predictions of evil to the company, in fact speech appeared to have been given him to conceal his thoughts. It was true he had a perfect right to censure the directors, whose duty it was to listen to all he or any other Hon. Proprietor might address to them, but he would allow him (the Chairman) to state that no one had depreciated the amount of dividend more zealously than the Hon. Pro prietor had done, when it was less than at present. The „chairman then read a statement of ther ecei p ts in Au g ust hist and in the August of last year. By that state ment it appeared that the Hon. Proprietor was in correct in his data with respect to the extraordinary increase which he stated had taken place since the making up of the accounts. The whole increase, it appeared from this statement, during the three months ending the 30th of September, outward and homewa rd, was 6,890/. The amount of capital received, he (the Chairman) considered by no means too great for the casualties which might arise. The next accusation which the Hon. Proprietor brought against them was, that the statement in the re port, that their proceedings had given general satisfac tion, was incorrect. Nothing would have been more pre. sumptuous than to have stated that their proceedings had met with the approbation of the worthy proprietor ---(Hear)—but they were correct in stating that they , had met with " general satisfaction," which did not in clude the worthy proprietor. His next charge referred to the removing of passengers. Mr. RIDGWAY explained, that if a passenger took a berth at Bermuda, he was liable to be removed to ano ther at Grenada. The CHAIRMAN said it was impossible to regulate throughout a long voyage the irremovability of the pas sengers, because it was not easy to ascertain what berths lord been pre-engaged in the different colonies at which the boats called. The wines bad certainly been com plained of—(Hear, hear)—and the directors had given their attention to the subject. They now employed two instead of one wine merchant, who affixed their prices to their wines, which was hung up in each: ship, so that the passengers themselves could test the wines and disover the best. He ,(the Chairman) urged the proprietors not to declare an amount of dividend beyond that which the circumstances of the company could yield.—(Hear, hear.) The directors were naturally anxious to increase the dividends, because they held a large stake in the company,, but when they looked to the casualties—their great floati'g capital, and the shortness of the contract they had now to run —they considered the reserve fund not too ample, even although they had a 50,000/. insurance fund. Although their profits had' increased, no very great additions had been made to their capital stock. The report and accounts were then feceived, and ordered to be printed and circulated amongst the share solders. Mr. C. MraLs highly complimented the directors on the great interest they had taken in the company. No direction of any company in the city of London held a greater stake in soy one company than they did in that company. Insteal of paying 61. dividend, they did n ot, in ttet, pay more than SL, us they were then paying off three years of erre yrs. It should not, therefore, go forth that they were .accumulating ut enhancing a large cap ital with o the di v i Then the insur ance fund amounted to 25,000/. re year. The casualties to which their property was ex co:Vt., Great Britain.g rea w t . e had nearly had lost one ship (the) company they nearly lost by accounts received that e - ,0, - Wing their remaining one (the Great "NrestArn). lle concluded by passing a vote of thanks to the' chairman and direc tors, expressive of the continued confidence of the shiirelielders in them, which was seconded by Mr. Pol Mr. Rrnowav would not object to the me" lion, but he seriously objected to the conduct of the Hon. 'Chairman, who had sought to pr e vent him from giving fr cs expres sicn cn the opinion he entertained.—(Cries of "O rder, order.") He was peens, illy in order, as he was socaking on a motion which had reference to the conduct a the chairman and thedirec tors. He wished it to be distinctlY, understood that he sh ould not hesitate to express his .sentiments on the "fairs of the company. Be THE Sfili t LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 16, 1846.1 .-------......---•—•—___ asked if there were not ample grounds for censure ? Undoubtedly there were. He hoped for the future that the chairman would evince more courtesy to him when he felt it his duty to remonstrate. He (Mr. Ridgway), in his position of life, was as respectable as any one in his (Mr. Baring's) father's house. The CHAIRMAN acknowledged the right of Mr. Ridg way to express his censure and as perseveringly as he had done. Ile was not aware of having offended the Ron. Proprietor in anything he had said. The motion was then carried, and the meeting se parated. THE MANCHESTER CHAMBER OF COMMERCE AND THE EAST INDIA SALT MONOPOLY. (From the Manchester Coarier.) The subject of the salt monopoly of the East India Company begins to attract very general attention. There have been meetings on the subject in most of the large towns, and last week the movement commenced in Li verpool, where, on Friday, meetings were held at the Shipowners' Association, and the East India Associa tion, when in each case memorials were determined on to the President of the Board of Control, and the Court of Directors of the East India Company. The follow ing is the copy of a memorial agreed to by the Man chester Chamber of Commerce, which has been for warded to the Court of Directors of the East India Com pany. It will be remembered that we have previously given a copy of a memorial from the Commercial Asso ciation on the subject :-- TO THE CHAIRMAN, DEPUTY-CHAIRMAN,, AND phi DrRECTORS 110Peniniorlaal oosfouittheAsgrEectSTralND The of ll th C e o3l c a b . er of Commerce and Manufacture a t Manchester, respect fully showeth— That your memorialists consider the system under which salt is distributed in India to be so fraught with evil as to demand from your Honourable Court imme diate attention and correction. , That in placing their opinions before your Honourable I Court, your memorialists wish, at the same time, to ex press their perfect respect ; but believing that the salt monopoly, as exercised by your Honourable Company, is evasive of, if not repugnant to law, is indefensible in principle, and injurious to the trade between Great Bri tain and India, they feel themselves bound in duty to make such a representation to your Honourable Court as they think the circumstances warrant. That your memorialists consider the circumstances under which salt is distributed in India to constitute a monopoly, because although by law foreign salt may be imported, yet have the regulations and duties attached to the impost been so framed by your Honourable pre decessors, as to foster unduly your own manufacture of that article, as is evinced in the letter from the secret Committee of the Honourable Court of Directors, to the Governor-General in Council, dated the 10th of May, 1816, and the answer thereto, from Bengal, dated the 11th of October, 1816. That your memorialists consider such manufacture of salt (or any other commodity, to be evasive, if not re pugnant, to law, because the Legislature, in constituting, by the Act 3d and 4th Wm. IV., cap. 85, your Honour able Company trustees for the Crown of England until April 30, 1854, distinctly enacts that your Honour able Company - shall discontinue and abstain from all commercial business that shall not be incident to the closing of your actual concerns, and into conversion into money of the property thereinbefore directed to be sold, or which shall not be carried on for the purpose of the said Government. Your memo rialists recognise in this extract no power in your Ho nourable Company to commence or continue any ma nufacture ; but they find a positive prohibition against continuing commercial business longer than may be ne cessary to close your then actual concerns. Your Ho nourable Company can have no more right to an exclu sive manufacture of salt, than it has to the manufacture ~f sugar or indigo, or to the sole growth of cotton or silk ; and your memorialists cannot look upon your con tinuance of any monopoly but as a contravention of that condition under which your last charter was conceded, namely, " your consent to suspend all right to trade for your own profit in common with other his Majesty's subjects " That the salt monopoly in India appears to your me morialists to be indefensible in principle, because it mi litates against the first duty of a paternal government, and is otherwise chargeable with many evils which can and ought to be avoided. Your memorialists hold it to be the first duty, as it is assuredly the wisest course of Go vernment, not to place obstructions in the way of a suffi cieut and cheap supply of food for its subj,^c:s. The food of the people of India is so little nutritive, and of so insipid a character, that the u:e of salt in abundance cannot be tispensed with without injury to the strength and health of the people ; and is, in fact, of such necessity, that your memorialists would hold it to be more humane to forbid by law the sale of rice, without an adequate qat ntity of ,alt, than to deprive the poor of that necessary condi ment through dearness. Your memorialists are con vinced that the retention of the sole manufacture of salt by your Honourable Company adds greatly to the dear ness of it, irrespective of duty, because nothing ever has been, or can be, produced so cheaply under a system of monopoly as when left open to competition. The manu facture of salt by your Honourable Company is not only not an exception to this infallible axiom, but has, at the same time, been the cause of much oppression and cruelty. Holding rice and salt combined to be one species of food, vour memorialists think that the interests of your Honourable Company, not less than humanity and jus ice, require that salt should be offered to the people )f India freely—without duty on that which may be imported, and without restraint on those who have it at their doors. If the revenue hitherto raised from salt be necessary to your Honourable Company, it would be better and wiser to raise it from anything rather than the daily food of the people. It cannot be satisfactory to a Government to make the use of an article so necessary as salt require the expenditure of so large a portion of a year's labour as the Indian ryot must now expend if he use salt, honestly acquired ; it cannot add to the good order of society, or to the respect which a Government demands from a people, if, through the stringency of that Government a necessary article of food be only attainable by many through fraud or theft, or in a state of noxious adulteration, or perhaps not at tainable at all. Your memorialists believe all this, and more, to be true of your salt monopoly in India, and therefore say that it is not defensible in principle. That your memorialists believe the salt monopoly to be injurious to the trade between Great Britain and India, because the excessive price at which this article is retailed to the consumer, absorbs. in the mass of the people, means which would otherwise be applied to the purchase of clothing. Large as is the income which your Honourable Company derives from this source, it forms no indication of the amount of pressure which bears upon the consume; nor would an approximation be obtained by adding to that sum the cost of manufacture and collection; a grievous aggravation which bathes all calculation takes place in the hardness of price consequent upon the existence of a submonopoly, and through adultera tion requiring the purchase of larger quantities in order to obtain the necessary amount of antiseptic matter. Your memorialists do not hazard an estimate of the extra sum thus drawn from the consumer, nor do they venture to guess to what extent the abolition of all duty, and the introduction into universal use of better and purer salt, would diminish the present expenditure; but it is most certain that a very large sum would remain, which, whether applied to the culture of land at home, or to the purchase of manufactures, or other commodi ties which India receives from Great Britain, would add greatly to the industry of both nations, and, acting re productively, bring increased comforts to the one, and enlarged commerce to the other. Your memorialists do not forget that if the tax should be removed from salt, the necessities of your Honourable Company may render it necessary to obtain a similar amount of revenue from other sources, whereby the same proportion of their earnings might: be abstracted from the natives as is now done through salt. The reply, that they do not think it possible that your Honourable Court could find any thing to which to transfer taxation that can so deplorably depress the people as does the system now applied to salt; nor do they for a moment suppose, that your Hon ourable Court would desire to perpetuate a system of raising revenue, handed down to you, which is founded on principles repudiated by the wisest statesmen, and for which prescription is the sole, but most insufficient excuse. Nor are your memoralists unmindful of the ob jection which has been started, that the sudden abolition of your manufacture of salt might expose India to greater distress than she now experiences, from an assumed im possibility of finding an amount of tonnage sufficient for a due supply of salt. Your memorialists have no wish to place the interests and comforts of India in jeopardy, but they must be allowed to observe that they have as yet known no instance in which, where competition was open, supply had failed to meet all the requirements of demand. Your memorialists ask not for such a sudden change of system as would endanger the fullest supply for India, nor for any exclusive privilege for Great Britain ; the interests of India and the voice of humanity alike demand that she should draw her supply of this first necessary from whatever quarter she can most profitably obtain it ; but they have that confidence in the resources of Great Britain, that leads them neither to fear competition, nor to feel apprehen sions about scarcity of tonnage. An inducement to carry salt to India would not only furnish present outward bound vessels with a freight, which they now seldom obtain, but would call into existence any new means of transport that might be required. Indian porta which now, from the balance of trade, frequently experience a want of vessels, would receive a large increase of them; the rates of freight homeward could, with equal or greater profit to the shipowner, be reduced, and the pro duce of India be thus relieved from considerable charge in the markets of consumption. That your memorialists hold it to be impossible that, in the existing state of commercial intelligence and in quiry, your Honourable Court cin hope to retain much longer & system so fraught with evils, and so irreconcil able with sound policy, as is your salt monopoly. They will lament if your Honourable Court defer, under arty plea, the immediate consideration of this important question. Believing that, as trustees for the Crown of England, you will be glad to apply to the government of your trust, during the short remainder of your tenure, those principles which are acceptable both to the Crown and Parliament, your memorialists respectfully pray, that your Honourable Court may forthwith take such measures as will lead to a relinquishment of your salt monopoly at as early a period as possible, consistent with the interim full supply to the people of India ; and that tho regulations regarding the import of salt be Lt once so modified as to permit it to be stored in bond i(notli England), ln a n s bondingnd),in any quantity, ispractisedi and for bu t u lndia, any len g th as it is in use of time ; and they further pray, that the deliberations of your Honourable Court may be so directed, that it may be enabled soon to promulgate through India, that all duty on this essential article of food has been fully and finally abandoned, and that the sale thereof is allowed without restraint or limit. Manchester, Oct. 8, 1846. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A POLICEMAN STABBED BY HIS WlFE.—Elizabeth Wood, wife of Benjamin Wood, City police-constable 526, was brought before Mr. Alderman Gibbs, charged with stabbing her husband. City police-constable Davis stated that on Wednesday afternoon, about two o'clock, he heard that Wood had been dangerously stabbed, and had consequently been taken to St. Thomas's Hospital, and he accordingly went to Wood's house, in Talbot-court, Gracechnrch street, and saw the prisoner, who said, " If you come up stairs I will tell you all about it ;" and she then said that she and her husband had had a quarrel while at dinner, and that her husband having threatened to knock her down, she threw a knife at him, which she had in her hand at the time. Her husband stooped down to pick up the knife, and she then saw a stream of blood flowing from the neck. She called out " Murder !" and her husband went to Mr. Smith, the surgeon. The knife was produced, a small pointed table knife. James Roots, police-constable 577, stated that while on duty in Gracechurch-street, about two o'clock on Wednesday afternoon, he saw a cab at Mr. Smith's door, and a mob of people round. On going to ascertain the cause, he saw Wood, who was in uniform, get in, and observed blood flowing from a large wound in the left side of his throat. He got into the cab, and accom panied Wood to St. Thomas's Hospital, who held all the way a large lump of lint to the wound. He told the cabman to drive fast, as Mr. Smith told him to make all the haste he could, as the wound was likely to prove dangerous. Alderman GlBBS—Prisoner, would you like to say anything ? Prisoner (weeping bitterly)—No, I would rather not. Alderman Ginns—l have here two certificates, which compel me to remand you for a week.—Remanded. GUILDHALL. CURIOUS CHARGE OF BIGAMY.—MF. William WA described as a surgeon-dentist, was placed in front of the bar, having been out on his own bail since the last examination, charged with committing bigamy under the following extraordinary circumstances It appeared, on the last examination, that in the year 1828 the prisoner married a female named Emma Ma tilda Murphy, with whom he had lived about two years. Mr. Witt got into difficulties, and was thrown into the Fleet Prison, and became acquainted with a person named Earle, who was likewise in difficulties. Mrs. Witt was likewise in the Fleet ; but, as it was asserted, in consequence of her and her husband not agreeing, she left him, and went off to Quebec with E arle, since which the prisoner had heard nothing of her until the present time. He again married, on the 19th of June, 1841, a female named Eliza Ann Hill, with whom he had about 5001., but she was also obliged to leave him about fire months after, in consequence of similar ill-treatment to that which the first wife received. Mr. Earle had lately returned from New York, and having made some inquiries, at Mrs. Witt's request, as to whether her mother was alive, and it being ascertained that the prisoner had married again, and the knowledge having been received by the second wife's family that Mrs. Witt was still residing at New York, the present proceedings were taken by them. However, the case was adjourned until today, for the production of Mr. Earle, who was ill at the last exa mination. Mr. Huddlestone with Mr. Hobler appeared on behalf of the prosecutor, and Mr. Ballantine with Mr. Wontner for the prisoner. The evidence taken at the examination was then read over by Mr. Teague, the chief clerk. William Earle, of New York, deposed to being pro prietor of two theatres in that city. He knew Mrs. Witt when in the Fleet, and afterwards, he supposed about a year, resided in some lodgings with her. On the Bth of June, 1832, they departed for America. She was alive on the 19th of June, 1841, the time defendant was married to his second wife. He was well known bath in America and here, and if proper inquiries had been made, Mr. Witt would have ascertained whether his wife was alive or not. When he left New York on the 22d of July she was then alive. In 1831 or 1832 ho was in trouble. Cross-examined—Had not come over to this country professionally, for the purpose of engaging actors or actresses. He was at Liverpool, but it was at the re quest of the Mayor of New York, for the purpose of consulting the Mayor of Liverpool, and other influential parties, for the purpose of establishing a mutual plan of protection, by establishing American policemen at Liverpool, and English officers at New York, to carry out the principles of the international treaty. He was once tried at Newgate, in 1832, for stealing a 501. bill, and sentenced to be transported, but was immediately pardoned on its being discovered that he was the victim of a conspiracy. He took Mrs. Witt from want and wretchedness. He also was instrumental in getting Mr. Witt released from the Fleet prison. He did not tell the Mayor of Liverpool, nor - any one else, that he was come over on a visit to the Queen. He only brought over a petition for the purpose of constructing an asylum for poor people. While in London, Mr. Witt never made any attempt to induce his wife to go back to him, but, on the contrary, encouraged her. By Alderman WOOD—Was he aware that you were living with her? Witness—He was. I did not instigate any one to take these proceedings; on the contrary, I am an unwilling witness, and was subpaumed here. Eliza Ann Hill, the second wife, deposed to being ill treated by the prisoner, who said he only married her f,Jr her money. Ile also told her under what circum stances his wife had left him, and she declined marrying him until he had made the proper inquiries as to her being dead, which he pretended to do, and produced the affidavits of two persons, who asserted that she died about six years since. About a fortnight or three weeks since she heard from the first wife's mother that she was still living, and her family instituted the present proceedings. Mr. Ballantine, in defence, animadverted in strong terms on the conduct of Mr. Earle, and left it. to the Alderman to say whether the evidence adduced was of such a credible nature as to induce him to send the pri soner for trial. , Alderman WooD. after =suiting with Mr. Teague, the chief clerk, said that ,in a case like the present, fraught with cruelty on the one side, and very objec tionable conduct on the other, he was unwilling to place implicit reliance on Mr. Earle's evidence. And then the question was, whether Witt had used sufficient diligence in trying to learn whether his wife was alive. Ile had heard the purport of an affidavit which had been made by Mr. Eccles, the son-in-law of Mr. Earle, to the effect that she was dead, and under those circumstances he should adjourn the case until Saturday, for the pro duction of that gentleman. Mr. Witt was then allowed out on his own recog nisances, to appear on Saturday. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE CASE OF MRS. LOMAX.—A benevolent indivi dual who had seen the case of Mrs. Lomax in the daily papers yesterday sent a letter to Mr. Hardwick, dated from Cheltenham, and signed, "A Friend to the Dis tressed," enclosing a 51. note for the use of Mrs. Lomax. The money was handed to Mrs. Lomax, who expreased herself in grateful terms for this timely assistance. Mrs. Lomax said she had seen some very undeserved insinuations thrown out against her in a letter bearing the signature of her father-in-law, General Lomax, but, as she believed, really written by another person. The letter insinuated that she was not Captain Lomax's wife. To place the matter beyond all doubt, she begged the magistrate to inspect her marriage certificate. Mr. 'HARDWICK looked at the papers produced and fonnd them to be documents authenticating the marriage of the applicant with Henry Lomax, one of the sons of General Lomax. Mrs. Lomax said she had no disposition to conceal any one circumstance of her life. She readily admitted that she had lived with Captain Lomax for some time before she was married to him. The marriage took place with the knowledge and approval of the General some time ago, and she had not only received presents herself from General Lomax, but the General had promised to assist in defraying the expenses of the education of her little girl. She had experienced nothing but kindness from General Lomax, and General Lomax had uniformly expressed himself well disposed towards her, as his letters to her would show. She had done nothing to forfeit General Lomax's good opinion, except the hard necessity which had driven her to make application for assistance to the parish in which she lived, and the publicity which this application obtained thri o u fn g sa h racte t; papers. Mr. HARDWICK thought the applicant could not fairly distress e ist b r l e a s m s t e a d ke fo n r th h e av o i n n l g y s u t n e d p er wi s th tr i o n n h g er pr p e o ss w u e re r that of applying for parish relief. Mrs. Lomax said she had written some letters to General Lomax, previously acquainting him with her distressed state, but these letters had never reached the General, they having, she feared, been intercepted. It was her belief that the General would have done some thing for her, and would have allowed her a portion of the stipend he gave to his son, had it not been for the interference of her brother-in-law. As the General had refused to give her any assistance, and as she had no prospect of receiving any portion of the money allowed to her husband, she feared her only resource was the workhouse. Mr. HARDWICK said it was certainly a sad alternative for a person who had been accustomed to move in the better classes of society ; however, ho would see, when the necessity absolutely arrived, whether it was not pos sible to persuade the parish authorities to make some rather more suitable arrangement in her case. Mrs. Lomax thanked the magistrate for the essential notice which he had bestowed on her case, and then left the Court. WORSHIP-STREET. John Richards, a young man, about 19 years of age, was placed at the bar for final examination, charged with stealing a purse and a quantity of silver from the shop of Mr. Lord, a perfumer,in Church street, Hackney. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor's wife that while seated in her parlour on the afternoon of Mon day; the sth inst., her attention was drawn to a suspi cious noise in the shop, and on looking up she saw the prisoner running out into the street. Ho was instantly pursued by her shopman, who had almost overtaken him when he was suddenly stopped by a lad who told him that his mistress desired his immediate return, as she had lost nothing ; but on reaching the shop he found that the contents of the till and a purse of the value of 10s. !lei been stolen. Having accidentally heard that two lad. named Flynn anti Ricketts had been apprehended for committing a similar robbery at Daliton, he came to this Court on Monday last to see if he could identify them, and immediately recognised Ricketts as the person ale had delivered to him the fabricated message which facilitated the escape of the prisoner. He had no sooner made the discovery, than the prisoner himself entered the Court, furnished with a'written testimonal, setting forth the unimpeachable honesty and respectability of the prisoners then under examination, and witness in stantly seized him, and gave him into custody.

He had no apprehension that there was any unnecessary or improper force used on the part of the attendants. His arms were secured to the sacking of the bed to prevent his injuring himself. A variety of additional evidence having been taken, Mr. Evens proceeded to make his defence. He first alluded at length to the charge of neglect brought by Horswell, and then added that with respect to accelera ting the death of Eddy, Aishton, and Dodridge, he could solemnly declare he never heard any complaint of ill-usage towards either of them, until he received the Assistant Poor-law Commissioner's letter of the 30th of September, the day before the inquiry commenced at the Royal Hotel. After the conclusion of the inquiry, The Learned Commissioner went to the workhouse, and saw the rooms as they were described by the wit nesses. The evidence will be placed before the Commissioners at Somerset House, who will shortly give their decision. EXTENSIVE Purtunit—George Stoddart, a young man about 24 years of age, was charged with plundering his employer, Mr. David Le Bentillin, to an extent at present unknown, but the property and moneys imme diately recovered amount to nearly 1401. The prisoner, being observed by the police carrying a box which they suspected to contain stolen prwerty, was detained and examined, and a quantity of goods identified by his employer were found in the box. Va rious sums of money were also found in bags belonging to the prisoner, as also a bank book of the East London Savings' Bank, with acknowledgments for 301. paid in up to August 23, 1845, and a letter to the prisoner from his wife, which, however, had no bearing upon the case. In answer to Mr. Pelham, who attended for the pro secutor, Mr. Le Bentillin said that the prisoner's salary last year was only 351. He had been about five years in his service, with an annually-increasing salary. Mr. Pelham said he would not carry the case further that day, and the prisoner, who declined saying anything in his defence, was remanded for a week; DESECRATION OF THE DEAD. SINGULAR DISCOVERY OF A ROBBERY COMMITTED FOUR YEARS AGO. During the last week a transaction, which for four years has been enveloped in mystery, was brought to 1 light in rather a singular manner. In August, 1842, a Mr. John Browning posted a letter at Ruthin, in North Wales, containing, a bank note for 201., one for 101., and a Post-office order for 1L 18s. 6d. It was addressed to his niece, Miss Sarah Browning, 15, Summer-street, Navigation-street, Birmingham ; and he, in a few days after, being astonished that no acknowledgment of its receipt was made to him, wrote to his niece on the matter. It was then discovered that the letter had not been received ; and although he communicated with the Post-office authorities, and forwarded the dates, amounts, and numbers of the notes, of which he had made a me morandum at the time he posted the letter, and even put on the back of the 101. note his initials and the date, no trace of the letter or its contents could be discovered. The matter thus remained in mystery until Tuesday last, when a 101. note was sent from the Bank of England to the authorities at the General Post-office, as one of the notes which had been contained in Mr. Browning's letter. A rigorous inquiry was immediately instituted, when it was discovered that the note had been paid into the bank of Messrs. Spooner and Attwood, Birmingham, on the 19th of September last. On that day Misses Jordan and Schofield, milliners, High-street, sent money and an advice to meet a bill amounting to 141. Is. 6d., consist ing of a 51. note and the rest in cash. A man named Henry Ivatts, who had been a letter-carrier in 1842, but had been discharged for some act of insubordination, and who was in the habit of going messages for them, took the money in question to the bank. He came that morn ing, as he had been requested to do, to go to the bank; but Miss Jordan, having occasion to go out, went in stead. In a few minute; after she had gone, Ivatts came to the shop, and finding that Miss Jordan had taken the money, he ran after her, overtook her, and went to the bank himself. Mr. Edwards, the clerk, took the money, which then consisted of a 101. note and some silver, and, as usual, marked the note. It was then sent to London, and discovered to be one of the missing notes. Miss Schofield having been waited on regarding the matter, asked Ivatts about it, when he said that he had found the note in New- street, on the Wednesday of Wolverhampton races, and that wishing to have it changed, he took the 5/. note and 5/. in cash from the bag in which she sent the ►money to the bank, and substituted the note in question. Ivatts was then apprehended, and brought before the magistrates (H. Spooner, Esq., M.P., J. James, and ' Thomas Beilby, Esqrs.), at the public office on Monday. Mr. Spurrier appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Harding for the defence. The case was gone into nt considerable length, and the note fully identified. The prisoner had always borne a good character, and it ap peared that Summer-street was not in his district, al though it was stated all the letter-carriers sorted the letters in one room. Tho case was remanded till Thurs day, when Ivatts was fully committed to the assizes. He was, however,.admitted to bail, being himself bound over in 1001, and Captain Leary (under whom Ivatts had served for twenty-six years), and Mr. C. Purcell, Nel son-street West, in 501. each.—Birnthujhain Journal. ST. GILES'S WORKHOUSE. Since the dreadful disclosures of Enon Chapel down to the recent desecration of certain City church-yards, and the removal of cart loads of human remains to the Eastern-end of the metropolis, nothing so humiliating or in detail so revolting has occurred to equal in horrors the proceedings which are now going on in the pauper / burial-ground attached to the St. Giles's workhouse. It appears that in this parish it has been found necessary to enlarge the workhouse, and to add an infirmary, a dis pensary, a casual ward, waiting-rooms, bath-rooms, and other buildings for the accommodation of the inmates, who for many years had suffered much. That in order to effect these objects, a number of temporary offices, covering in the whole a piece of ground at the rear of the building containing about half an acre, have been re moved, and the whole area, extending from the back of the workhouse to a lane called Short's- gardens, laid bare. The plot of ground thus exposed is surrounded on all sides by the dwellings of the poor, who inhabit this locality in perhaps greater numbers than any other part of the metropolis. Many of these miserable tenements overlook the, spot, and so dense is the population that several thousand poor families reside within the circle of ono hundred yards round it. After the materials of the old buildings had been removed, the workmen in the employment of the builder, Mr. Holland, of Duke-street, Blooms bury, commenced digging the foundations for the new buildings, and while so engaged found at the depth of about four feet from the surface some bones, which were carted away with the rubbish, and deposited in the vicinity of Battle-bridge. As soon as the circumstance of finding the bones was represented to the clerk of the works, he immediately waited upon the governor of the workhouse, and also some members of the board of guardians, but no directions were given to cease dis turbing the remains. The workmen, therefore, continued to prosecute their labours, when it soon became apparent the ground was filled with coffins, and the decomposed bodies of human beings. A sight of this appalling cha racter had such an effect upon the workmen employed to clear away the revolting substances, that some of them exhibited the greatest reluctance to interfere, and only complied at length from the fear of losing their employ ment. While the task of exhuming the remains was proceeded with, the board of guardians held two or three meetings, and after some deliberation, and an in spection of the ground, came to the determination to ex hume all the bodies, and have them removed to the St. Giles's Cemetery, St. Pancras-road. These instructions are now in the course of being complied with, and it is calculated that within the last fortnight the remains of twelve hundred persons have been removed. The coffins appear to have been wedged together, and in many cases fourteen have been found in one grave. A space of ground, measuring about eighty iquare feet, has been already excavated, with littKintention of removing all the coffins that may be found. The earth is found to be in some parts hard and gravelly, but towards Short's-gardens it becomes loose and damp, and in those parts the progress of decomposition has been more' rapid and complete. To the north, and within a few feet of the workhouse itself, the soil is compara tively firm, and here a most appalling sight was pre sented. Owing, it is supposed, to the peculiar proper ties of the soil in this place, the coffins were found to be in a better state of preservation, and to have re sisted, to a greater extent, the mouldering effects of time. They could not, however, be removed in any thing like a perfect shape, and parted asunder when exposed to the air. The bodies they contained were found to be still solid, the hair upon the eyebrows and eyelashes clearly discernable, and every feature entire and perfect as when first deposited. The flesh, however, had turned into a white substance, resembling to the touch, and not unlike in appearance, the common mush room or toad-stool. The coffins containing those bodies were found at depths, varying from four to nine or ten feet. In some instances, the mouldering flesh clung to the head, about the jaw, and round the scalps, while the teeth remained white and firm. The brain could also be traced; and in some cases even the viscera wore clearly distinguishable. These bodies appeared to have been swathed in coarse linen shrouds as several fragments of the latter were found. The accumulation of those ghastly remains in a few hours became so great, that coffins or rather large boxes, hastily put together, and formed of three quarter inch deal, painted black, were got in readiness, into which the remains of about thirty persons were packed indiscriminately and forwarded in a hearse to the cemetry at St. Pancras. road. The re mains of about twelve hundred persons were thus re moved, a much greater number however still remain, and at this moment the loathsome place is strewn with skulls, many of them in the state described, bones of all kinds, and fragments of broken coffins. The pit exca vated has already yielded the remains of 1,200 persons, including theskeletons of children, and judging from pre sent appearances the workmen employed have not more than half finished, if so much, their frightful task. Por tions of several coffins, with fragments of their ghastly occupants, can now be traced within thirteen - or fourteen inches of the surface, while in other places tho piles of coffins hare been compressed by-time, according as the wood rotted, and now appear lying close to each other, as if some external pressure had been applied. Some of the able-bodied paupers from the workhouse were employed collecting the fragments. It is evident from the appearance of some of the coffins, that the occupants did not in every case belong to the humbler classes, as some of them have pieces of cloth attached to them, and are richly studded with nails, and contain the marks of having been once decorated with plates. The:dates, however, are, unfortunately, erased by time,:witli the ex ception of a few. In one portion of the ground • the, workmen found as many as 30 or 40 skeletons, alialsr9vin indiscriminately together; none of them bore tlie•a`ppear-, once of being recently deposited. Several coppei, co ins, pipes, and other things, were also found. The, coin: were very much corroded, but one of them britiAfiffi ciently good preservation to exhibit the date 12(50 in legible characters. Independently of the outrage upon decency and proper feeling which is involved in these proceedings, it is to be apprehended that very fearful results to the sanitory condition of so densely , crowded a neighbourhood will follow the opening of the:loathseme pit now exposed to view. The indignation of the people in the immediate district has been audibly expressed: A CHARGES AGAIN ST Mr.W. EVENS, MASTER OF THE STONEHOUSE WORKHOUSE. During the past ten days an investigation has been going on at the Royal Hotel, Plymonth, before John T. Graves, Esq., Assistant Poor-law Commissioner, into the conduct of Mr. W. Evens, who for sixteen years past has been the master of the Stonehouse Workhouse. The charges were made by Lieut. Warren, of Stonehouse, and were of a very serious character, as will be seen by the following letter, which was sent by the Assistant Coln missioner to Mr. Evens:— " Totness, Sept. 29, 1846. , at two o' c l oc k, P.M., a t nto certain charges " Sir,—The clerk to the guardians undertook to me that he would giv e y ou notice of the inquiry I purpose t th o pre ferred against you by Lieut. Warren. " You are accu sed of havin g ill- treated Wm. Horswell, e h R o 1 o d y o a n l u t h o o t e 1 1 , s t r o ly f m O o c u the , i r his wife, and child, while they were in the workhouse, and also of having by ill-usage accelerated the deaths of three men, named Eddy, Dodridge, and Aishton, who died in the workhouse. " I think it will be desirable that the medical officer of the workhouse should be in attendance on Thursday afternoon, and should have in readiness any books which may throw light on the cases of the above-named persons. " When the case of the complainant has been investi gated, if you should require time to prepare your defence, or want summonses for witnesses on your behalf, I shall be prepared to give favourable consideration to any ap plication that you may desire to make on those heads. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, "JOHN T. GRAVES, "Assistant Commissioner." " Mr. W. Evans, Master of the Workhouse." The case has been undergoing investigation from time to time down to Saturday last, when it closed with the defence of Mr. Evens. The inquiry was not in open court, though the Commissioner permitted the press to attend, on the understanding that the case should not be published till the whole of the evidence had been gone through. William Horswell stated, I am a scrivener, or ac countant. The letter produced, containing the charges against Mr. Evens, was written by me. I have been in the East Stonehouse Workhouse four times altogether. The last time I left was in November last. I went in in August. I was in a very bad state of health when I went in. The treatment I had whilst I was in the house was such as a sick person ought not to have. I was dis charged as incurable from Exeter Hospital in June. When I came into the house Dr. Perry considered that I was in a very bad state, and ordered me wine. Dr. Perry saw me at my daughter's, and recommended me to go into the house, and I consented, thinking that I had but a short time to live. I expressed a wish to Mr. Evens that my wife and sister should stay up with me, because there was no one to assist me in and out of bed. Mr. Evens said it was not a fit place for women, and there was a woman in the next room who would bring me my medicine. This woman was a pauper upwards of 70. I had an abscess forming. I told the doctor of it, and he ordered me linseed meal. Did not get the linseed meal for five days. That caused the abscess to break on the eighth day, and I was in great pain and never slept. I complained to Dr. Perry, and he said the linseed meal should be had. The first day the nurse (Salter) said the doctor had not put the order on the book; afterwards that there was none in the house. I complained to the master, but he turned a deaf ear to it. I had a seizure in my left leg at the same time, and was not able to move it, and could not get in or out of bed, and I compl a i ne d to the master of it, and he said there were men enough to do it. I heard Mr. Evens repeat edly say I was a great expense to the parish. On the lath of May, 1846, I wrote to the master from the Cor nish ward, in the Devon and Exeter Hospital, request ing him to send the up shirts. The shirts wore not sent. I pledged my great coat for five shillings, to buy two shirts. There was a shirt sent. I was sent back from the hospital by the waggon. This was in June, a very wet day. That was the forerunner of the abscess. I came to Plymouth by a covered waggon , o p en at both ends. I had not a great coat. I said, when told to go to the waggon, " this is my death warrant." The doctor visited me every day during the five days I had not the poultice. I complained to him every day. I saw Captain Fansha we , t h e Ch a i rm an, during the five days. The house committee visited me during those live days. I cannot say that I complained to the chairman or the visiting committee about the poultices. When I became better I made complaints to the house committee on Monday, but on Thursday I found the doors locked that divide the male wards from the female. I could not get to see the board. Mr. Evens knew I wanted to see the hoard. I told him that I expeded to be called, but I was not, The complaint that I wanted to make was not being allowed to see my wife, who was ill. I never afterwards complained. I considered it useless. No notice will be taken of what a pauper says by the board of guardians. I never knew the board refuse a hearing to a pauper. Never said to Captain Toby " I have no complaint to make." William Tatem, who had been an inma t e alon g with Eddy, corroborated the statement of the first witness. great majority of them belong to the sister country►,' and, with that respect for the dead which they are nationally characterised for, have viewed with feelings of indigna tion the proceedings. It is calculated that an immense number of coffins and their contents have still to be re moved. COACH ACCIDENT.—About eleven o'clock on Sun day night last an accident happened to the London mail coach going north, on the most dreary part of Shap Fells, in Westmoreland, which might have been attended with the most serious and fatal consequences. It appears that the road over Shap Fells, especially at the Hocks- brow, is in a most dangerous and shocking bad state of repair, there being large deep holes in it at several places, and, indeed, it is so bad that the mail coaches cannot get up the brow in due time, and consequently two extra horses are put to, and a postillion, to assist the coach up that long steep hill. William Abel, the postillion, on arriving at the top of the steep, told the driver, that, as the night was so very stormy, and the roads so very heavy and bad, he would go on with his pair with the coach to Shap. However, the coach had not gone far, when the horse on which Abel was riding fell, the other four fell over him and them, and one of his thighs was broken, and he was otherwise most dread fully mangled and crushed, but the coach was net thrown over. It soon afterwards proceeded on, but before it ar rived at Shap the pole broke, and some of the passengers were much alarmed. The coach arrived at Carlisle upwards of four hours behind her due time. FATAL COLLISION ON THE TllAMES.—Wednesday afternoon, about four o'clock, a coal barge called the Gertrude, was passing down the river, a short distance from Landon-br idge, when she ran with a violent crash foul of a sailing barge loaded with sand, known as the Opponent, The jerk occasioned by the collision pitched the steersman of the former into the water, and al though every possible exertion was made to save the poor fellow's life, be floated away with the tide and dis appeared. IRELAND. DUBLIN, OCT. 13.—The Clare Journal contains the ollowing:— "DEATH FROM STARVATION.--On Friday, a poor woman called the widow Conlan, residing at Clontoohee, near Dysart, in this county, proceeding to Ennis to purchase 6d. worth of Indian corn for herself and _... ...,. —..— family, fell dow n a t the distance of about — 150 yards from her own house, and almost immediately expired, through exhaustion, arising from want of food. We fear that this is not a rare instance of effects arising from the existing distress. In different places, within the last few days, the people assembled in masses, and dug out for their own use the potatoes belonging to some of the large farmers." . gir Burton Macnamara has addressed the following letter to Mr. Labouchere, the Chief Secretary:— " Tromroe, Oct. 2. " Sir,—lt is with extreme regret that I have to report to you, for his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant's infor mation, that a number of men came to my residence yes terday and stated they were in a state of starvation, and that they required food and employment, or that the consequences would be serious. I told them that the necessary forms were gone through to obtain them re lief, and that I anticipated in a few days their condition would be relieved ; I exhorted them as a friend not to resort to acts of outrage, and to bear in mind that if they got a week's provision by plunder it would tend to many weeks' starvation, and that no power on earth could justify their proceedings. I advised them to re turn home, which they did. " On inquiring, I find all these people belong to the village of Miltown, near which there are three magi strates residing, and that they tried to get the poor people of this parish to accompany them, which they very properly refused to do, notwithstanding their desti- tution cannot be exceeded by any people in this county; and I trust that their patience and good conduct will be duly appreciated by his Excellency, and that the pro mised relief may not be delayed. " I have the honour to be, Sir, yours truly, " B. MACNAMARA, Captain R.N., J.P., " County of Clare." MEASURES FOR EMPLOYMENT. The Cork Examiner, which arrived this afternoon, contains nothing remarkable on the subject of the dis tress. In regard to the measures for employment, that journal says : " We are glad to understand that the contracts for the college works will be immediately advertised. Instruc tions have been given, we understand on the best autho rity, for the commencement of the Glamire road and park works. The Wide-street board this day issued precepts for the taking down of the houses in Globe-lane and White-street. All preliminaries will be settled in less than a fortnight, when an abundance of employment will be afforded." THE PRESENTMENT SESSIONS. The first extraordinary presentment sessions for the county of Dublin took place at Tallaght yesterday. The sum of 10,0001. was voted for various useful works, to be apportioned in electoral divisions, in accordance with the Lord•Lieutenaut's circular. The Recorder (Mr. F. Shaw) stated that Mr. Ed ward Byrne, a farmer, of Whitestown, had handed in a proposal to him for the attentive considera tion of the meeting, viz., for the draining of land and the improvement of a water-course in his (Mr. Byrne's) own land. According to the regulations set forth in the letter of Mr. Labouchere, a work of this description could be presented for, upon the pro- prietors giving an undertaking that the money so pre sented should be charged exclusively on the lands. This Mr. Byrne was ready to do. This proposal was agreed to. RELIEF ASSOCIATION.—APPEAL TO THE ENGLISH PUBLIC. I find the following in Saunders's News Letter of this day. I have heard some objections as to the peculiar construction of the committee, and generally as to the manner in which the association has been got up. " At an adjourned meeting of noblemen and gentle men, held at No. 16, Upper Sackville-street, Dublin, on the 12th day of October, 1846, the Earl of Roden in the chair.

" RODEN, Chairman." OUTRAGES IN TIPPERARY. The following appears in Saunders's News Letter:— " NENAMI, OCT. 11.—I regret to have to acquaint you that there were two men shot on Friday evening, a few miles from this town. One was supposed to be in reference to a bygone dispute. The assassin discharged a blunderbuss, loaded with slugs, when within two yards of his victim, having walked quietly into the kitchen for the purpose. The man, fortunately, heard the click of the lock and turned aside, which saved him from final death ; as it is, he received two of the slugs in his lungs near the heart, many passing through the muscles, and fired ten entered about ered h a yearissliou since, and other ill-fated man was and escaped with the loss of a finger ; but on this occasion he was less fortu nate, for he lost his life. " There are the most serious apprehensions of riot and disturbance ; mobs are coming into town from all quar ters, to demand work and bread. The unfortunate people are goaded on by some lawless miscreants, who have nothing to lose. " The Roman Catholic clergymen were all occupied to day in exhorting their flocks, from the altars, not to assemble and peril their lives by riotous behaviour. I hope most anxiously that their advice will be followed." The Evening Packet contains a letter from Borriso kane, which states that the two men fired at are named Gaynor and Cleary. Neither of them is dead, and Cleary is not seriously wounded. OUTRAGES IN CLARE.—On Saturday morning, about five o'clock, six men stopped a horse and car bringing cots to market, near Shally-hall, and snapped a gun at the horse. The animal started at the flash, and fell under the car, where he remained for a long time, the people being afraid to give the owner assistance. At the hour of ten o'clock a party, similar in number, stopped a horse with a load of corn, on the road at Pow der-hole, near Ruan, and fired two shots at the horse, wounding him dreadfully. The owner entreated them not to injure the horse, and he would return home with the oats, but the legislators refused compliance with the request. The police stationed at Ruan immediately went in pursuit, but were not able to come up with the party. The country is at this time in a lamentable condition. In every direction outrages are committed with impunity. The police are altogether incapable of preserving the peace. We really dread that a general system of plunder will be resorted to.—Clare Journal. THE ARMY.—The 83d Regiment have been replaced in Clare Castle and Ennis by the 59th.
