The Committee assembled this day, and, after a brief re. capitulation of the evidence which was given before the Com mittee of the House of Commons, they decided that the preamble was proved, all opposition being withdrawn. There was, however, one clause in the Bill which was to be sub mitted to the consideration of the Earl of Shaftesbury, that it may be made consistent with the regulation of the House of Lords. GROUP D. YONESZTRE AND LrNcoLNsinizal COM- MUNICATION. The Committee on the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Junction, and the Manchester, Midlands, and Great Grimsby Commu nication, re-assembled this morning, at eleven o'clock, when The evidence of Mr. Vignoles, the engineer of the line, was taken, but it varied little from that of the other line, and showed that it was only seven-eighths of a mile longer than its opponent. Ile went through a long examination and cross examination, the end of which was to show that the gradients on the line were unusually favourable for the country through which it passed, and that the viaducts were not only less numerous, but also hardly half the height of those which 'were formed on the neighbouring lines. He spoke also to the facility of the management of the Company, and stated that there had been such arrangements made as would entirely prevent anything like impediment to the transit of merchandise from London and the west through the whole of this line of communication, while on the other side there were no less than six different Companies to be combined for the accomplishment of one object. The long cross• examination which this gentleman went through seemed in no way to affect his evidence. Mr. Hawkshaw, who appeared in the place of Mr. Braith waite, who is engaged to construct the line, but who is con fined by illness, confirmed the principal points adduced by Mr. Vignoles. Mr. BAINES, Q.C., then addressed their Lordships at con siderable length, recapitulating the chief facts wlitch had been adduced by the witnesses, dwelling particularly on the assent of the noblemen and men of large property, who were assentients to the line of the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Junc tion Company. At the close of his address the room was cleared, and on the re-admission of parties, The CHAIRMAN stated that the Committee had decided in favour of the Sheffield and. Lincolnshire line, and against its opponent; but full justice was to be done to the opposing landowners. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP XVII. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM applied to the Committee to sit on Saturday, on which day both himself and Mr. Hill would commence and finish their address. The CHAIRMAN said the members of the Committee had made arrangements which precluded their sitting on that day. Sir WALTER JAMES regretted that the promoters had not called the attention of the Committee to the difficulty in which they would be placed if the Committee did not come to an earlier decision. Mr. AIRXANDER said they fully expected that the Com mittee would have been enabled to give their decision on Sa turday. It was then arranged that the promoters should call evi dence to-day in support of the case, and in opposition to the case of their opponents. An objection was taken by Mr. Hill against any evidence being adduced with respect to Lacy's line ; but the Committee considered that the evidence ought not to be limited. Mr. Bidder was then called and examined by Mr. ALEX ANDER, with respect to the line called Lacy's line, which was not proceeded with, and which was proposed to start from Salisbury, and to traverse after Marlborough as nearly as possible the route of the Manchester and Southampton. He had estimated the:cost of Lacy's line from Salisbury to Marlborough, a distance of 27 miles, including three miles and a half to be used at Salisbury by the Salisbury and Basingstoke line, if it received the sanction of Parliament, and exclusive of land and stations, at 494,0001., as compared with 323,0001., at which Mr. Locke estimated the cost of its construction. He (Mr. Bidder) had made his estimate at the same rate as the Manchester and Southamp ton. His estimate for a similar distance traversed by the Manchester and Southampton, and taking in the important town of Andover, was only 494,000/. For the 494,0001. the line might be made from Marlborough to Romsey, a distance of thirty-seven miles and a half, besides saving four miles in distance. The gradients on Lacy's line were lin 80, and those on the Manchester and Southampton 1 in 100, and had better curves and less tunnelling. Went over the line, and rejected it on account of the better route he selected by Andover, and on account of the opposition of landowners. Bethel's line was equally open to objection, as it was longer between these parts, and more expensive on account of the extreme heaviness of the earthworks, and the great length of tunnelling, there being as much as on the London and Bir. mingham. The Committee adjourned until Monday. GROUP XVIII. The Committee met at twelve, Mr. B. Denison in the chair. LONDON, NEWBURY, AND BATH. Mr. MERREIVETHER stated to the Committee that the pro moters had closed their evidence, and now left the case with the Committee ' • but after the very plain intimation they had had from the Committee, they expected nothing else than that the Bill should be negatived, and his clients now assented that it should be so. _ _ The CHAIRMAN said it was for the promoters themselves to withdraw their Bill or to continue their evidence before the Committee, as they chose. Mr. MERRENVETHER said they had closed their case, and now asked for the decision of the Committee, but with no sanguine hope that the preamble of the Bill would be passed. The CHAIRMAN wished to know of Sergeant Wrangham, what ccurse it was meant to pursue with regard to the other Bills before the Committee, as in ordinary circumstances the Committee would not have given any decision until they had the evidence given on the other schemes. But lie begged it distinctly to be understood, that whatever arrangement might have been come to between the present company and the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, the Committee would not in any way be guided or influenced by that arrangement. Although this opposition was withdrawn, the Committee would cer tainly not pass the other as an unopposed Bill. Sergeant WRANGHAM said that an'arrangement had been come to between the two companies, the London, Newbury, and Bath, and the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, in consequence of what had fallen from the Committee, who, as a body, had suggested an arrangement between them. He did not mean to imply that the Committee had committed themselves as parties to any arrangement, but he said an arrangement had been come to, based on the intimations of the Committee, and that his clients withdrew their opposition in consequence. The Committee gave no decision, and proceeded to hear evidence in the case of the WILTS, SOMERSET, AND WEYMOUTH. Mr. Austin, Mr.. Denison; and Mr. Slade, are retained for the promoters of the line, and Mr. Hill, Q.C., Mr. Cockburn, Q.C., and Mr. Merrewether, appear against it, Qn petitions from the South-Western Railway, the Southampton and Dorchester Railway, the London, Salisbury, and„ Yeovil Railway, front the inhabitants of Wareham, 'Andover, 'Sells burv, and Exeter, and front Mr. F. T. Egerton. Mr. DENISON, in opening the merits of the schemes; said the Bill was for extensions and deviations on the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line, which was passed last year. The first was the Weymouth Quay Extension, a rail 71,.; , furlongs in length, carrying down the terminus from Weymouth to Weymouth Harbour; it was proposed in consequence of a requst from the merchants of the place, and was unopposed, The second was the Herringstone Deviations, near Dorchester, ex tending four miles and 12 chains, and intended for the accommodation of landowners ; it was unopposed. The third was the Frome Deviation, by which it was mtended to carry the rail of the main line nearer that town than it was at present, being six miles and 25 chains long. The fourth was the Redstock Branch, a quarter of a mile in length, and was unopposed. The fifth was the Bishopstoke Junction to Salisbury, effecting a junc tion between the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line at Salisbury, and the Great Western at Bishopstoke, by which the Bristol and Bath people could be conveyed down to Southampton. It was a junction advised by the.. Board of Trade in their report of last year, and was two miles five furlongs long. The sixth was the Laycock deviation for the • accommodation of landowners, and the Corsham extension, to effect a junction with the Great Western. The seventh was the Bath branch, between Bradford and Bath, which had been 'projected after the company had been memorialised to that effect by the towns in the neighbourhood, and in consequence of the recommendation of the Board of Tratle, who had also been memorialised on the subject. The eighth was the De vizes branch, which was intended to run nearly due west from that town, and join the main line near Bradford, by which a more direct communication would be opened be tween Devizes, and Bradford, and Bath, the old branch to near Miltsham being abandoned for this. The estimate for these brgirttc., :1 addition to the mital of the existing line, was 140,000/. • •__ Mr. Brunel, the engineer of the line, was called, and evi dence having been heard, the room was ordered to be cleared. The Committee, after consulting, intimated that the pre amble of the Bill was proved for all the branches, except for that between Bishopstoke and Salisbury, which was not passed ; and that the preamble of the London, Newbury, and Bath Bill was not proved. The Committee then went through the clauses of the Bill, and adjourned. This concludes the group. GROUP XXXVIII. The Committee met at twelve; Mr. Acton in the chair. WEST RIDING UNION (No. IL) Evidence was continued this morning in favour of the line. Mr. HopE, at the conclusion of the case for the promoters, addressed the Committee against the project on behalf of the Huddersfield and Manchester (Bradford branch). The room was ordered to be cleared. The CHAIRMAN informed parties on their re-admission that be decision of the Committee was, that the preamble of the West Riding Union (No. 2) Bill was proved, and that of the Huddersfield and Manchester (Bradford branch) Bill was not proved. The Committee having gone through such clauses of the West Riding Bill as were unopposed, adjourned till to-morrow at twelve. GROUP XLVIII. THE Tarr VALE. The Committee on this Group met at twelve to-day, Mr. Aldam, chairman. Mr. Sergeant WRANOHAM opened the case for the preamble of the above Bill. After a brief address, the Learned Ser geant called witnesses in support of the merits of the line. The opposition to the Bill is expected to be arranged. EXAMPLES. O T.

On CHASTITY and its INFRINGEMENTS, (An Essay for 1846.) " Of human ills and frailties I discourse, Those taught by nature, and by art acquied. Of griefs conceal'd, and disappointments keen, Which young and gentle, the matured and sage, The lonely and the mated—all sustain. In kindly spirit, herein counsel's giv'n, How health, how hope, how happiness to gain." WHAT to EAT, DRINK, and AVOID ; With Diet Tables for all Complaints. Contents :—How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil feelings, a good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. By an ob servance of the instructions kerein contained, the feeble, the ner vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire the greatest amount of physical happiness, and reach in health the full period of life allotted to man. " How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore Tears and ten." _ _ These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, for they tell of matters everyliving crea ture able to understand ought to know, but which information in these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it Is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician any more than their own 1 awyer, but it is insisted upon that we should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laws whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual Capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted, health will be found to be lit our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all; by the availment hereof in Itlfilling our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring to follow, and finally by the cultf:vation If our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest of God's creations. ~ The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

THE EMIGRANT'S LIFE. The following article is extracted from an interesting letter which appeared in last week's Stamford Mer cury :-- " Deerfield Cottage, Rattons Prairie, March 24, 1846. "We have had rather a long winter here, and much more severe than the preceding one: cold weather pre vailed from the last week in November to the first of this month, with a great deal of snow : it is now mo derate. _ "I will now endeavour to give you a brief sketch of the manners and customs of this people, whose social arrangements are so different to yours. It is very frequently the case that the settler selects his location in the midst of the unbioken forest, though there are thousands of miles of rich prairie altogether unencumbered with trees : he does so on account of the facility thus afforded him in timber for building, fencing, and firewood, by which he is saved a great deal of labour. The settler (particularlarly if a Yankee) is generally very expert with the axe, and commences his clearing by cutting down such trees as are most proper for building his house, which in most cases cone sists only of one room for all purposes — , built of square logs piled one upon another, and often without a win dow ; he consoles himself by promising that in a few years he will build himself a better one, though he fre quently spends the whole of his life in this, unless, in deed, his family become large ; in which event he con structs another room similar to the one already de scribed. In such a situatian, you may conceive how slow his progress must be ; yet he soon contrives to break .gyp 19.nd sufficient to raise corn for the use of his family. He has one great advantage in being able to keep his stock of every description on the lands re maining unenclosed around him: his hogs will thrive well on the acorns, nuts, and roots, to be found in the woods; and he does not pen them up till he wishes to fatten them in the fall of the year. He generally plants an orchard, which soon becomes useful and pro duces him plenty of peaches in the course of three or four years from the time of planting; while these are coming to maturity, he grows melons of several kinds, which do extremely well here, and are very nice and cooling in the het weather. The apples in this country are in great variety, and, generally speaking, far supe rior in size and flavour to those of England. The settler keeps cows, poultry, one or more horses (for go where 'he may he invariably rides), and a small flock of sheep, the wool from which his wife spins, dyes, and in many cases weaves and manufactures into clothing for the whole family; this article, which is generally dyed blue, makes up into very neat dresses, and I assure you the fitting of these garments reflects great credit on the fair artiste,' whose life is by no means a sinecure. " In the old country, from the crowded state of many of the trades and professions, competition makes it diffi cult for a new beginner to succeed ; business will, no doubt, be considerably depressed until the corn-law question is settled : the farmers will be for a time panic struck, and have as little wok done as po:sible ; but this will right itself in the course of a short time. " As to the advisibility of persons coming out to this country, it entirely depends upon circumstances : I believe this to be a locality in which, in point of money, few men get rich ; but it is certainly one in which no industrious sober man need fear to obtain a livelihood : nevertheless, I speak from experience when I say, let all those who have a comfortable home, and acquire a good living, with a reasonable prospect cf continuing to do so, be content to remain where they are. It is a very easy thing to break up a home, but often difficult to establish a better : early associations never fail to crowd upon us : we often think of our old and far distant home, and more, much more than all, of those kind and dear friends from whom we are separated perhaps for ever. _ The class of persons to whom this country offers the most decided advantages is the one whose early life has been devoted to the cultivation of land : the young agri cultural labourer in England, though he be ever so in dustrious and frugal, if he marries and bas a family, with all his striving, can scarcely keep himself above pauperism ; he could manage a little land, but that is not to be got ; and it is a thousand to one if ever he gets to occupy an acre. He must work, always work, for a master, and think himself fortunate that he can be so employed : he must sometimes submit to the most de grading servility, and be studiously careful not to offend even by accident: in short, he must be the patient drudge toiling on through life with scarcely a hope of bettering his condition. Here the cage is widely different; if em ployed as a labourer, his employer treats him as an equal ; he always takes his meals at the same table with his master, and is treated with respect and cour tesy; h f i a s m w i a ly 7s an to d heaossoon a canspes he wishesndmoreto theto mtn ee commence of his owt acc ountcan get hefi here,nds b u a t t alitltoiow rent, as ty farming r on hisespectingland, as much he wishes; or if be be able to purchase, he has plenty of choice : he may thus acquire a good living, with something more in time, besides having the plea sure of seeing a good prospect for his children around him. " With respect to the expense incurred in coming out here, it is difficult to say what it amounts to; much de pends upon the distance the emigrant may have to travel in the country after he has crossed the ocean: unex pected delays will sometimes occur, which occasion much trouble, expense, and vexation. I think the cost from first to last might be set down at about ten pounds per individual ; for though it cost me considerably more, I have no doubt there are some who perform the journey for less. " The natural productions of this climate in the way of wild fruit are the vine, which flourishes here in the greatest luxuriance, bearing grapes of excellent flavour : wild plums are also found in the woods. lam sorry to add that currants and gooseberries do not thrive well here: the summer I think is too hot for them." POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. John Connelly, a lad, was charged before Mr. Alderman Moon with embezzling 101. 2s , the amount of four Post office money orders he was intrusted to receive for his em ployer, Mr. Cleave, a bookseller, in Shoe-lane, Fleet.street. Mr. Cleave stated that the prisoner had been in his service about five weeks, when, on the 2d of June, he sent him to the Post-office to receive the amount of some money orders. As the prisoner did not return in reasonable time, the com plainant became alarmed, ascertained he had received the money, and gave notice to the police. As the Whitsun holyday fairs were then being held, constables were dis patched to Greenwich and Stepney, but nothing was heard of the prisoner till he surrendered to the police voluntarily on Monday night. E. J. Andrews, policeman 227, said the prisoner came up to him and asked him to give him a lodging. Witless asked him for what reason. The prisoner said he had been in the service of Mr. Cleave, and had run away because he had lost 101., the amount of some Post-office orders, out of his pocket. Witness asked him where he had been? He re plied he had been to Uxbridge. A clerk from the Post-office proved the cashing of the orders. _ _ _ Wlprisoner, in The prisoner, in his defence, repeated the story that he had lost the money through a hole in his pocket on his return from the Post-office. He missed the money on Ludgate-hill, and returned to the Post-office by the same route in the hopes of finding or hearing of it. Mr. Cleave did not give any credit to this story. He was a sharp lad, and would have given notice to the police. Mr. Alderman Moox asked what wages were given to the lad ? Mr. Cleave said lie had 10s. per week. He supposed the prisoner was living at home with his father, but this was not the case. Mr. Alderman' Mintra asked if he required any character with him when he engaged him ? Mr. Cleave stated that he had a very good character with him. The prisoner had been trusted with money at his former place, but he had been out of place some time. Mr. Alderman Moorr questioned the lad closely as to what he had been doing from the day he started off. The prisoner said he walked immediately to Uxbridge, and slept in the hay-fields two nights. He then obtained two days' work at a Mr. Smith's at Southwell, and received half a-crown a day. He 'continued to sleep in the fields, and sold his boots and other things to obtain victuals. Mr. Alderman Mom said, if it was true that the prisoner sought and obtained work two days after he left town, it was strongly corroborative of the truth of his statement that he had really lost the money. If he had stolen the money, he would have had some left two days after he ran away. It was important for the character of the lad, as well as the attainment of justice, that the case should be cleared up, and he therefore directed that the officer should write to the in spector of the T division, stationed at Uxbridge, begging him to cause inquiry to be made whether the prisoner had worked for Mr. Smith, and whether he appeared to bedestitute, or to have means. He was anxious that the truth of the prisoner's story should be completely tested, and he remanded him Saturday. WORSHIP-STREET. An elderly woman named Mary Roscoe and her son, Jere miah Roscoe, were placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton, charged with stealing a vast quantity of miscellaneous pro perty from the premises of their late employer, Mr. Lancelot Rowlandson, an extensive carpet and furniture warehouse man in the Whitechapel-road. Mr. Wakeling conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Pelham attended on behalf of the prisoners. The prosecutor stated that the prisoners had been upwards of two years in his service, the woman being employed to make up bed-ticks and bed-furniture at her own residence, and the male prisoner as a mattrass-maker on the premises at Whitechapel. During the time they were so in his service he missed property at various intervals in a most unaccount able manner, to an extent, he was satisfied, of nearly 1,5001., and in Easter week, having received information with regard to its disappearance which deeply affected the character of one of his shopman, named Hutchinson, he discharged him from his service. His suspicions had not at that time rested upon either of the prisoners; but in consequence of some thing which transpired he found it necessary to employ the police, and both the prisoners were in consequence taken into custody. Thomas Hutchinson, the discharged shopman of the prose cutor, was now called, and stated that at the commence ment of the present year overtures were made to him by the female prisoner to induce him to connive - at the surreptitious abstraction of goods from his employer's warehouse, to which he, with some hesitation, ultimately acceded, and the prisoners were afterwards in the habit of almost daily carry ing off pieces of carpeting, bed-furniture, Irish linen, and other property, wrapped up in bales of cotton the prisoners had to manufacture at the house of the female prisoner's JULY 2, 1846. P RICE SD. husband. The witness added that he had received the sum of 12s. weekly_ from Mrs. Roscoe, as hush-money for the space of ten weeks, and had no doubt he should have con tinued to do so, had not his employer gained information of his being implicated in the system of robbery which had been carried on, and discharged him from his service. George Capstick, foreman to a furniture-dealer named Dawson, 'in Skelton-street, Greenwich, stated, that about Christmas last the male prisoner, in company of a young man named Blenman called at his master's house, and, representing themselves as bedstead and mattrass-makers in the habit of supplying small brokers in the country, pro duced several pieces of Brussels carpet and bed-ticken, which were disposed of to his employer, who on subsequent occasions also purchased numerous other articles, comprising Persian carpeting, a quantity of haircloth, mattresses, and other goods, the whole of which the prosecutor had since identified as his property. John Blenman, the young man above referred to, and who had formerly been in the service of the female prisoner's husband, stated that the whole of the carpeting and other property produced had been intrusted to him and the younger Roscoe by the latter person's mother, with directions to sell them for whatever they could get, and that having disposed of them in the manner sworn to by the preceding witness, the whole of the proceeds had been handed over to the female prisoner. Police-constables Day and Smith, of the K division, pro duced in court an-immense quantity of property, amongst which were 33 pieces of chintz furniture, 17 bedticks, a package of Irish linen, and several rolls of carpeting, which they had discovered upon searching the prisoners' lodgings, and all of which the prosecutor likewise identified as his. The prisoners, by the advice of Mr. Pelham, expressed their intention to reserve their defence, and were fully committed for trial upon this charge. Mr. Wakeling then stated that he had another charge, almost as serious as that just taken, to prefer against the prisoners, at the instance of Mr. Jackson, a furniture dealer, in Shoreditch, by whom also the prisoners - had been em ployed, and who had been robbed of property to the extent of nearly 2001., a considerable portion of which had been found in the possession of the accused; but in ccnsequence of the absence of a cab-driver who had been employed by the prisoners to remove the goods, and who purposely kept out of the way, although he had been summoned to give evidence, he was unable to proceed with it, and must request the magistrate to order the accused to be brought up again upon a future occasion. Mr. BuouGuToN said he had no hesitation in acceding to such an application, and intimated his intention to issue a warrant against the cab-driver to compel his attendance. The prisoners, who made no observation upon this state ment, were accordingly removed in the van. SOUTHWARK. George William Draper, late clerk in a Government office, was placed at the bar before Mr. Seeker, for final examina tion, charged with uttering forged cheques at the banking house of Messrs. Currie and Co., Cornhill. . The circumstances attending' the uttering of two cheques drawn on the above banking firm by the prisoner have al ready appeared. A clerk from Messrs. Currie now attended, and produced the cheques, one of which for 51. 75., with the signature " Rapley and Son," was given by the prisoner to a Mr. Wills to get cashed, which he procured from a neigh bour, and handed over the proceeds to the prisoner. The transaction took place on the 4th ult., on which day it was given in evidence the prisoner surreptitiously obtained pos session of a blank cheque-book belonging to a stockbroker, and cut out several of the leaves, and having deposited the book in the place he found it, then filled some of them up, and by that means obtained cash on the assurance of their being genuine. The bank clerk stated that when the cheque given to Mr. Wills to get cashed was presented, it bore the signa ture of " Rapley and Son," and it was refused payment on the ground that no persons of that name had any account with the firm. Another cheque for 8!. 145., given by the prisoner to a Mr. Christmas in liquidation of a debt of 21., the former receiving the difference, was also produced, bearing the signature of " S. R. Parsons," and made payable at Messrs. Currie's. This cheque, as well as the former, was found to be a forgery, the assumed drawer having no effects there. In the course of the examination, it was stated that two other cheques were presented at Messrs. Currie's, and refused payment on the same grounds as those in the former cases. The blank cheques were evidently taken from the stock broker's book, as the numbers followed those still remaining in the book. When the prisoner was asked if he wished to say anything in answer to the charges preferred against him, he replied in the negative, saying that he should place himself in the hands of his solicitor, Mr. Roberts. . . Mr. SECKEZ said, that he should commit the prisoner on the two cases brought forward against him, and that if any other parties had charges of a similar description to prefer, they might do so, and have them included in the bill of in dictment at the Central Criminal Court. At the conclusion of tho examination Mr. Roberts made an application to have a set of gold studs and a silver-headed walking-stick, taken from the prisoner on his apprehension by the policeman, now delivered up to him. Mr. SECKER, in reply, said, that he saw no reason to refuse the application if they did not relate to the charges brought against him and were not purchased with part of the money it was alleged he had obtained by means of the forged cheques. Mr. Roberts said he was instructed that the articles spe cified were presents from friends to the prisoner, and had no relation whatever to the alleged charges. On these grounds, therefore, the gold studs and walking-stick were delivered over by the policeman. THAMES. CRUELTY AT SEA.—Captain William Graham, the master of the barque Grange, of Greenock, lying in the West India Deck, appeared before Mr. Ballantine to answer a charge of committing a series of cruel assaults on William Francis Singleton, the steward, and William Baine, the cook of the same vessel, on the high seas, on her homeward voyage from the Mauritius. Mr. Pelham appeared for the defence. Baine's case was first taken. He stated that on the 10th of April last he was engaged with the rest of the crew in tacking the ship, when the captain, without any provo cation, shoved him from one side of the ship to the other, and knocked him down among the spars on deck. He got up, and told the captain he did not come on board to be used in that way. The captain immediately seized him by the throat, kicked him, knocked him down among the spars again, and struck him several times about the head and face, and blackened his eyes. The captain then dragged him forward, and knocked him down in the fore castle head, and after putting his knees on his breast, held him by the throat till he was quite black in the face, and could scarcely breathe. He got up, and on looking round him saw William Minor, a ;seaman, standing further aft. He appealed to Minor, who said he saw the whole of the ill-usage. The chief mate then came forward by the cap tain's orders, and held witness by the arms while the captain again seized him by the throat and dragged him aft to the quarter-deck. He laid hold of the mizen rigging, and the captain, after a little struggling, ordered him down into the cabin. He refused to go, and requested the captain to make him fast on deck if he wanted to do it. The captain then made fast a rope to his legs, and, with the assistance of the first and second mates, dragged him to the companion, where he jumped on him with his feet until he jumped him down the hatchway. He was then put in irons in one of the state rooms, where b.e was compelled to remain for two days and three nights, 'Without bed or bedding, his only allowance of provisions during that time being two biscuits per day and a little cold water. The ship was then off the Cape of Good Hope. The weather was very cold, and he suffered a good deal. All the clothing he had on was a blue flannel shirt and a pair of canvass trousers while he was in irons. On the second night he asked the captain for some bedclothes, and he refused to give him any, but sent the steward below to shake his nose, ;pull his ears, and ascertain if he was tamer. On the morning he was released he went to his duty as usual, and continued to work until the 26th of May, when the chief mate ordered him to draw off water from the tank below and fill a cask above. While he was engaged upon this duty the captain, who was sitting on the quarter-deck, amused himself by calling him a brute, a beast, and a d—d brute, every time he passed him. He answered that he was neither brute nor beast, which so enragei the captain that he seized him by the throat, and after compressing it in a manner which gave him much pain, he shook him, and pushed him up against the mizen rigging. After passing the captain with two or three more buckets of water, he was again called a beast, and upon making the same reply he had done before the captain pushed him off the quarter-deck on to the main deck. He fell from the violence of the shove, and a bucket of water was capsized alongside of him. He got up and was going forward, when the captain followed him, and overtook him abreast of the longboat, .and shoved him down again. He rose once more, and went right forward close to the windlass, where the captain forced him upon the chain cable, and then peremptorily ordered him into the forcastle. He was descending the hatchway, when the second mate called him aft, and he was met by the cap tain, who ordered him to return to his duty. He went down the cabin stairs with a bucket, to fetch more water, and had not got more than half way, when the captain jumped upon him with. the whole weight of his body, and severely bruised him about the head and shoulders. He called out " murder," and was ordered upon deck. As he was coming up, the captain repeated his violence. Ho was sent up and down four times, the captain each time jumping upon him as hard as he was able. On reaching the cabin, and calling out " murder," the captain struck him several times on the face with his clenched fists, and then ordered him to return to his duty. He was very weak and disabled from the , in irons brutal treatment he received, and said he could not do any. more work. He was again put below, and for thirty days, and was not released l int , ' the slip cape : resth F e ri w d o a l f ) s 7 t o h yl nast. e a d llowed a i n t o fourteenth e d d n o y c s k ,0 of and his time a half w as ast confinement moored biscuit and a half per day, and the pound per day only. The captain,. as a further punishment, disfigured him by cutting hair very short. In cross-examination by Mr. Pelham, the cook said, he neve r offered to fig ht the captain ; he never called him names, and he never gave him the slightest provocation. He was asked repeatedly to return to his duty during the first eight days of his confinement, and said he could not, on account of the usage he had received. Ile was brought upon deck several times, and the captain said, let the brute beast down to his den again. Mr. BRODERIP said, it was impossible for him to tell what answer there might be, but there was a prima facie case of a series of aggravated assaults, and it was his duty to send it to the Central Criminal Court. He called upon the de fendant to find bail, himself in 1001., and two sureties of 50/. each, to appear at the next sessions. The case of Singleton, the steward, was next gone into. He is an intelligent man of colour, and stated that he had been treated very cruelly indeed. On the 4th of May he was knocked down by the captain, who drew a good deal of blood from him. Four or five days after that the captain horse-whipped him with his riding-whip. Mr. BRODERIP—Were your clothes off or on at that time? Witness—l had my jacket off, and my shirt sleeves were tucked up. The same day I was compelled to stow myself away in the hold, to prevent his beating me. Three Sundays before I got in here he knocked me down en the cabin floor, just after dinner, and stunned me, I don't know how long ; and then he called upon the chief mate to feel my pulse, and ascertain if anything ailed me. That was after I recovered my senses and got into the pantry. While doubling the Cape, and while the weather was very cold, he threw four buckets of water over me. It was raining at the time, and he deprived me of my bed, and obliged me to sit up in the pantry, and I was shivering with cold. The witness then produced the shirt lie wore when the first assault was com mitted. It was covered with marks of blood. Mr. BRODERIP said the defendant must find bail in this case also, himself in 1001. and two sureties of 501. each, to appear at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court. GROUP LXI. THE EDINMUILOII AND GLASGOW, AND SCOTTISH CENTRAL ZITNCTION. The Committee met again this day, Sir James Duckworth chairman. The clauses of the Bill, which have already occupied two days, are not likely to be got through for the next two days. Several amendments were to-day proposed to be made in the toll clauses, which gave rise to a protracted discussion. After some amendments, they were agreed to. THE CORN-LAWS. PROTEST AGAINST THE THIRD READING OF A BILL "TO AMEND THE LAWS RELATING TO THE IMPORTATION OF CORN." DISSENTIENT, _ _ Because the Bill for repealing the corn-laws is not ac companied, as in justice it ought to have been, by the follow- measures, viz. :- 1. The entire and immediate repeal of all the taxes which fall directly upon land—the land tax, the malt tax, and the hop duty. 2. The equalisation of all the rates of which the occupiers of land bear at present an unfair and undue proportion—the poor rates, the highway rates, and the county rates. 3. An alteration of the Tithe Commutation Act, which can no longer be just or applicable. 4. A legislative enactment authorising all persons who hold leases of land for unexpired terms of years to surrender them on giving six months' notice before any of the usual days of payment. 5. A legislative enactment directing the payment stipu lated in every contract to be reduced according to the pro portion which the average price of wheat, at the time of making such payment, bears to its average price at the time that such contract was formed, so that such payment may be of the same value as was originally intended and agreed to by the parties. 6. A legislative enactment authorising the cultivation of tobacco, and the preparation of sugar from beetroot or other vegetables, and exempting the said tobacco and sugar from the payment of any duty. 7. The entire and immediate repeal of those taxes which are imposed upon articles of general consumption, of the Excise duty on soap, and of the Customs' duties on sugar and coffee, the produce of British colonies, and on those sorts of tea and tobacco which are used by the labouring classes.

For some time back considerable discussion has taken place amongst the Magistrates of the county of Middle sex, assembled in Quarter Sessions, upon the subject of the additional Lunatic Asylum proposed to be erected at Hanwell. The Court having determined upon erecting the new edifice in the vicinage of the present asylum, and actually purchased a piece of groued for that purpose, plans and elevations of the proposed asylum were pre pared and transmitted to the Metropolitan Commis sioners in Lunacy, who had subsequently taken these propositions into their consideration, and made their re port thereon, signed by Lord Ashley, to Secretary Sir James Graham, in which they totally disapprove of the proposed plan, with reference to the building of the new asylum at Hanwell, and express it as their opinion that the new edifice should be built as near as may be to the centre or mass of the population of the county of Mid dlesex. The whole of the correspondence, together with the special report of the Committee of Visitors of the County Lunatic Asylum, were laid before the Court on the last county day, when they were ordered to be printed and circulated ; and as they contain some valua ble information respecting the increasing wants of the county, we subjoin the following extracts from the re port from the Commissioners in Lunacy to Sir James Graham, upon proposal, &c., for erection of an addi tional Lunatic Asylum for the County of Middlesex, at Haswell "It appears from the documents transmitted to us, that the Committee of Visitors propose to erect a new (or second) asylum at Hanwell, at the distance of 100 feet only from the present asylum for the reception of 1,010 pauper lunatics, and to make various alterations in the existing offices, with the view of rendering them applicable both to the present asylum and to the asylum proposed to be erected. And it is estimated that the cost of the new asylum will not exceed 85,0001. " Supposing Hanwell to be the most convenient place for a lunatic asylum as regards the western division of the county (a fact, however, not established), it is ob oli viously exceedingly inco nvenient as regards the eastern division. There can be no doub t , we apprehend, but that an asylum built a t so distant a place as Hanwell t)he must metropoli s , gorpeatlys, more especially increase the ( th i (instead t e e a a s d t e r np of being art ex pense and difficulty of transferrin g pauper lunatics to and from the eastern parishes and uni ons; t h at i t must add to the inconve nience, and lessen the frequency of the visits of parishes officers ; an d must, in effect, almost wholly preclu de the p oorer f riends of the patients from visiting them at an y time du ring their confine ment. " We are satisfied that the asylum at Hanwell at present contains more patients than it is capable of ac commodating properly, and more than should be en trusted to one superintending or controlling power. It is the opinion of every medical man of eminence, conver sant with the subject, and, amongst others, of Dr. Conolly -himself (the visitingi physician, and, until lately, the superintendent of the Hanwell Asylum),that not more than 900 patients should be assembled in , any one curative establishment for lunatics ; and the Hanwell Asylum already contains nearly 1,000 patients. " It is desirrble, we think, on this account, that there should be no further congregation of lunatic patients at, or near, Hanwell. " In regard to the question of expense, adverted to by the justices in their published address, we consider:the sum of 85,0001. as far too large for the objects proposed to be accomplished by the outlay. And we are disposed to think that several of the items specified in the address as savings, are peculiar , or unnecessary instances of ex pense ; and that any saving reckoned upon by the jus tices, will be more than counterbalanced by the erection of a new asylum, at a moderate and reasonable cost. " A reason for placing a new asylum in the eastern division of the county, lies in the facility with which the patients might in such case be visited by their friends. It is a great source of comfort to a large pro portion of persons afflicted by mental disorders to receive occasional visits from their relations and friends. These friends and relations belong for the most part to the y~%~`~~~ rte th4ttif s • - ACADEMY OF scIEN SITTING OF /TUNE 22.—M. Pelouze, E . recently communicated to the Academy his experi is for the purpose of ascertaining with greater cele ItOoer- tainty the component parts of mixed metals, ' larly the quantity of copper contained in anjtispitistam s . of which it forms part, this day made a .com municat i on ' on the subject of the copper, bronze, and bell metal coins in circulation in France, and the amount of copper that is represented by them. The nominal value of this circulating medium is estimated at thirty millions taf francs. Of the total weight, the sous, according to M. Felouze, amount to 6,191,100 kilogrammes, and as his analysis gives him for copper coin 929 of copper to the 1,000, he estimates the total weight of copper at 5,732,750 kilogrammes. M. Pelouze divides the copper or mixed coin, of which copper forms the base, into three classes. The first comprises the red sous of the reigns of Louis XV. and Louis XVI. They contain 995 ut pare copper to tha 1,000. In the second class he ranges the two-sous pieces of bell-metal, copper, and tin. His esti mate of the copper is 860 to the 1,000. They contain also a very small portion of zinc, lead, and antimony, and sometimes traces of iron and arsenic are found in them. The third class consists of the red sous and double sous, with the effigy of Liberty. These contain 960 parts copper to the 1,000. The information given by M. Pelouze, although not of much apparent use now, may subsequently be very useful to the Government when it shall call in the various copper and mixed money in circulation, for the purpose of replacing it by a uniform coinage. As to the calculations about the total nominal value and r: al weight of the copper coinage in France, it must be out of the power of M. relouze, or any other man, to estimate it correctly. It is easy, by consulting the public records, to ascertain what quanti ties were issued from the Mints at different periods ; but nobody can guess at the amount which has disappeared from circulation. The defendant Wag unprovided wi and was locked up. A very pretty model of a turbine, stated to be the invention of M. Fouval, but manufactured by Messrs. Keechlin and Co., was presented to the academy at this sitting, and an account was given of the effetts of the machine, by the scientific persons appointed to witness the experiments. This was favourable to the inventor, for it appears that he has made many important im provements upon the turbine hitherto in use, but which was nevertheless marvellously powerful as a means of raising water. The turbine, however, will be eclipsed, if half that is said of another and very recent invention by aM. Letellier be true. This gentleman has, accord ing to the report of two commissions of scientific bodies, made improvements upon the screw of Archimedes as an instrument for raising water, which increases its power at least one-fourtb, with the same degree of manual labour. Another and very curious invention by an Italian en gineer was also spoken of at the Academy. It is a water-mill of from five to fifty-horse power, worked by an artificial waterfall, and which can be placed up as a motive power in any manufactory, occ u pyi ng a sma ll space, requiring little labour, and, of course, producing vast economy as compared with the steam-engine, as it requires no combustible. By the description given of this machine, a large model of which is, we learn, in operation, we find that it consists of eight pumps worked with great ease by a single man (it is said that two men would suffice for an eight-horse power machine), by means of an admirably disposed coun terbalance system. The pumps supply a reservoir placed at a proper height above the water-wheel, as in the case of a natural fall, and the water falling upon the wheel to which the strap of the machinery of the manufactory is affixed, the whole goes round, and puts the machinery in motion. The paradox of this in vention is the return of the water to the fountain head in such a way as to keep up a continuous fall. If we had not been assured by scientific men who saw the mo del at work for nearly two hours that this was accom plished we should say that it was impossible. There is no difficulty in creating a waterfall by artificial means, and making it a motive power, but we do not understand how when the force has been supplied to work the ma chinery of a factory, and when it would appear to be ex pended, the water should by the same action be forced back to the reservoir to renew the operation, without the necessity of employing further manual labour. A paper was received from M. Bonjean, a chemist, of Chambery, on the medical properties of the ergot of rye, particularly as a remedy in the case of external hemorrhage. M. Bonjean does not pretend to have made the discovery of this application of the ergot. It was in fact discovered long since, and tried by Dr. Wright and M. Muller. M. Bonjean, however, claims credit for having carried his experiments to a greater extent than either of those gentlemen, and gives a num ber of cases which scarcely leave a doubt of the efficacy of the remedy. We give one of his cases : "On the sth instant (says M. Bonjean), a strong woman, aged 40, in uncorking a bottle, which broke in her hands, received a dreadful wound in the palm of the left hand. A portion of the artery was cut, and the blood rushed out with such force as to cause a jet of nearly four inches in height. After all the ordinary means of Stopping the effusion of blood had been tried without effect, the wound was tightly ban daged, and the woman proceeded to the house of a physician, who immediately sent for M. Bonjean to ad minister his remedy. The latter gentleman uncovered the wound and laid upon it a piece of lint saturated with a solution of the ergot of rye,. at the same time using only gentle pressure. In two minutes the blood ceased to flow ; in five minutes the pressure was re moved. and the lint left upon the wound, and in twelve minutes even that was removed. The wound was now found to be self-closed by a mass of coagulated blood, and another piece of saturated lint being laid over it and the hand gently bound up, in two days the wound had cicatrised. A letter was received from Dr. Blandet complaining of the delays in getting rid of the odious establishment oflMiceonatufdaudcaonng, danger r nd of ptohientpinugtrioduetmtahneatsieorniosu:,hiinchcoanrviese niefrom it. The public ought really to be grateful to Dr. Blandet for the energy with which he has taken up this subject and the manner in which he treats it. The inhabitants of the environs of Paris, in the direction of Montfaucon, to even a considerable distance, are dreadfully annoyed by the stench when the wind sets towards them, and we may justly conclude that in certain states of the atmosphere a portion of the capital must also be affected, although insensibly so by these putrid emanations. This, however, is not the only evil of the kind of which we could complain. We would direct the attention of the authorities to the shameful way in which the poor are interred in some Qf the cemeteries. The air is actually poisoned in libt weather by the emanations from the pits in which the bodies are heaped upon each other with only a few inches of earth to cover those that are uppermost. In a city where so much has been done for the public health, wherelhe cleansing of the streets is so perfect, where the supply of water is so great, where common sewers— one of the greatest triumphs of the present peaceful reign—have been made, where the authorities appear to be laudably on the watch to ameliorate this dreadful system of interment, is an anomaly which cannot too soon be removed, if the persons who are charged with the public salubrity would entitle themselves to our un mixed gratitude. We shall conclude our report of this sitting with a notice of a curious but really important paper, addressed to the Academy by M. Busson de Maurier. We call the paper important from the .subject, and the evident care with which it is treated, although we cannot bring ourselves to believe that the plan suggested by the author is, under all circumstances, practicable. M. Busson de Maurier complains of the annoyances of the passport system ; who that has ever had to take a passport has not ? Who is there that has not fretted under the delays in procuring a pas . port, and the occasional pertness of the officials whose duty it is to examine them ? Latterly, indeed, the Government has done all in its power to render the passport system as little vexatious as possible, and it for x a anothert B a iouu m t ws the and, neo t du o ,ts y t ub r sne a tid v ener t e gr l f i r s om not one o e w x tl a e n nli u ty n c o o m f m F o ra n nc t e hi t n o g may again become cerexerclitsuatisirne;dciitrtciousmpinsrtoatlintusceeelesf, hise thes se n p t a i sasl vexationpl y o r v t e . habitual. We are quite of opinion, therefore, with M. Busson, that it would be a delightful thing to do away with the necessity of passports. He does not pretend that this is to be accomplished without finding a substitute for the passport system ; he would be very foolish if he did. But is the substitute that he recom mends one which would give general satisfaction. registered, i sfa c tion lie . recommends that every person ld that each registry should have a number (in series, of course from the extent), and that the number on the registry should be represented by a medal to be con stantly worn by the person who is registered. The mere e xhibition of this medal is to be the passport of the individual. The registry, according to the plan pro posed by M. Busson, is not to be gratuitous; indeed, his estimate of the revenue that even a very small registration fee would yield is enormous, and thus far his plan must be agreeable to governments. But is there not something inquisitorial, in idea at least, in this compulsory regis tration ? And would it as means of police be quite satisfactory? It would, we admit, be, notwithstanding the infractions to which it would be subject, a great check upon thieves, and even upon bad servants, who introduce themselves into families with false characters and assumed names. It would, however, require many ' years to reconcile the public at large to this registration ' system. Still, we must thank M. Bussen for having written upon the subject, and devoted so much attention L to it. Our opinion may be an erroneous one. We re commend him, therefore, to publish his plan, and ascer tain what is thought of it generally. CORONER'S INQUEST. Yesterday forenoon, at nine o'clock, an investigation adjourned from Monday last, was resumed and concluded before Mr. Waklev, M.P., coroner for the western division of Middlesex, an - cl a jury, at the Rum Puncbcou, Cross-street, Drury-lane, with respect to the death of Martha Grogan, aged three years, the daughter of a greengrocer, residing at 29, Charles-street, alleged to have died from the effects of mercurial pills administered to her by a retired officer of the East India Company, residing in Museum-street, Bloomsbury, and who, although an amateur medical practitioner, went by the cognomen of " Dr. Lowe." The inquiry excited a very great sensation, and a number of distinguished members of the faculty were present. The in quiry was adjourned for the production of " Dr. Lowe," who was stated to be 94 years of age. After a lengthened inquiry the jury ultimately came to the folloWing verdict :—" We find that the deceased died from natural causes, but at the same time we strongly reprehend the practice adopted by Mr. Lowe, of administering medicine proved to be of an injurious character, and the more so he being totally ignorant of me dical practice." The rumour referred to in our City article on Tuesday, relative to the intentions of the new Ministry to bring in a Bill, before the end of the session, to prohibit any calls being made for twelve months on any railway scheme sanoctioonowed, this session, is, we believe, quite correct.
