SPECIAL MEETINGS of both companies were next successively held, presided over by Mr. Barlow, at which The CMAIBMAN explained that the sense of the share holders wa3 to be taken on the propriety of giving the directors power to treat with the Great Western Com pany for the sale of the two line& - The same report was submitted and adopted by both meetings. The following is its substance : The report stated that the directors, in order to carry out the intention of the shareholders, and the early con struction of the lines, thought it best to call in the assistance of another company rather than to depend on the making of calls upon the shareholders. To curry out the scheme promptly and successfully they applied to the Great Western Company to purchase, instead of leasing the line. In order, however, to give effect to any ,arrangement for selling the lines, it was necessary that they should go to Parliament. No terms with the Great Western had been come to, nor could the directors state what those terms would be, or the probable result of any future negotiation. Resolutions, giving the directors power to treat for the sale of the line, and authorising them to apply for a Bill to effect the same, were severally agreed to. The shareholders then separated. CORK AND PER3IOY DIRECT RAILWAY. An adjourned meeting of the share and s2ripholtlers of the Cork and Fermoy Direct Railway Company took place yesterday at the London Tavern, for the purpose of determining whether, under the provisions of Lord Dalhousie's Act, the company should be dissolved or not. The first meeting took place last Monday, and was adjourned till yesterday in consequence of there not being a sufficient number of votes present to constitute the meeting according to the provisions of the Act. The meeting was advertised for twelve o'clock, but it was nearly one before E. J. Spieres, Esq., took the chair. The minutes of the meeting on Monday last, having been read by the secretary, were confirmed, and the scrutineers then proceeded to take the remaining votes. In answer to a question from a shareholder, The CrtainmAN stated that they had 1,7491. in hand, that there would probably be claims for expenses to the amount of 300 L, which would leave them a balance of somewhere about 1,450 L The SECRETARY said that this was independent of Mr. Sherlock's elahn. That gentleman had already had 5001., and he had been requested to send in his claim, but had not done so. A SHAREHOLDER, in answer to a question from the Chairman, stated that he did not know what the amount of Mr. Sherlock's claim would be, but it would probably amount to 3,0001. The CHAIRMAN said that the London solicitor had had 4004 on account, and he understood that he did not intend to make any further claim. Mr. Sherlock had had 5001. At two o'clock the SECRETARY declared the number of votes to be 605, which number not being sufficient legally to constitute a meeting for a dissolution, the meeting broke up. A meeting of shareholders was then constituted, Mr. Valentine in the chair. The CHAIRMAN havinr , read a statement of the pre liminary expenses, which he said he considered all would think reasonable, A resolution was proposed and adopted to the effect, that it be a recommendation to the directors to divide 10s. a share, reserving the surplus for the settlement of any other claims that might Le made, and after those claims had been settled to return the remainder to the shareholders. The CHAIRMA N said if he got back 15s. a share he should think himself well off. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting broke up. DEATH OF Ma. TERNAN, THE ACTOR.—This gentleman, so well known in the theatrical world, expired on the 17th instant, after an illness of many months, at the early period of 42 years. FIRE IN ST. PAUL'S CHURCHYARD.--On Saturday night last, the establishment of Messrs. Nicholson, fur riers, north side of St. Paul's Churchyard, was placed in great jeopardy, a fi re h av i ng b een di scovered under the flooring of the first floor. A strong smell of smoke and great heat had been observed throughout the day. The firemen and engines from Watling -street and Far ringdon-street were procured, and after the exertions of the firemen for an hour and a half the danger ceased, but great damage was done to the building, and also to that of Mr. Purday, adjoining. The fire had been smoul dering some days, and originated from one of the lower flues. NELSON COLUMN IN TRAPALGAU-SQUARE.—By the death of Mr. J. Ternouth, the sculptor, another delay has occurred in the completion of this long deferred debt of gratitude to the great hero of Trafalgar. Mr. Ter nouth was one of the four artists entrusted with the modelling of the bronze bas reliefs for the base of the column. He had made his design, and sent it in to the Woods and Forests fur approval, before the retirement of Lord Lincoln from the head of that department ; and nothing has been done to further the completion of the monument since Lord Morpeth's appointment, and this not from any dislike or disinclination on the part of his Lordship, but simply from the circumstance that his time has been fully employed on matters of greater and more immediate moment. The designs for the four great battles, St. Vincent, the Nile, Copenhagen, and Tiafalgar, are as yet without official sanction ; but this delay, we trust, is only temporary. A.new artist should benominated at once to succeed Mr. Ternouth; or to complete his design, if fit for its purpose, and sialiCiently advanced to be available. Mr. Ternouth had worked in the studio of Sir Francis Chantrey, was a gentleman of modestand affable manners, and of some talent in his art. ThillußDEtt or Cor.ms.—There is every reason to Suppose that this horrid deed has been avowed by the •perpetrator.Platts, at present a prisoner in Derby gaol, on charge of the wilful murder of George Collis. Rumour is various as to the perst n to whom confession has been made, but from all we can learn it seems that a turnkey, hearing sobbing and lamentation from Platte, went to him, when he immediately commenced a confes sion of the murder, stating that he had first stabbed the unfortunate Collis, and then knocked him on the head, afterwards cut up the body, and carried it to the cess pool where it was found. It will be h'ighly satisfac tory if this rumour be confirmed, as we have no doubt i "ill be, although at present it lacks authority.—Derby Ceieiee. ' - EnAst ATTOTtNEYS AT P gistrates rt OLICE-COURTS . —Th e ma kouthwark Pollee -court have issued a caution to the public, rogue stingall person: to a pp l y for information to the magistrate , in and known afieers of the Court, a n d not to loiterers the avenues of the Court. This stOp has been found necessary prisoners and th e i r f riends being s:ari f in consequence ofaud obtained under pret e n ce 01 ch.fendino.'t y l ed of money, em, by sham at torneys hanging about the Court. COUNSEL'S OPINION ON TILE WELLINGTON S A TUTE.—Lord Morp e th h as ma d e, perhaps , as goa r da " move as possible to o bt a i n the judgment oft the " com petent persons" on Mr. Wyatt' s triumphal statue. His Lordship has, we -are informed, addressed a circular to all the Royal Academicians, requesting that he may be favoured with their opinion as to the effect of the statue on the arch.—Athencer REAT WESTERN and WYCOMBE RAILWAY. The first general meeting of the proprietors of this company was held yesterday at half-past eleven o'clock. Frederic Pratt Barlow, Esq., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said, the present meeting was for the transaction of the ordinary business of the company, preliminary to the special general meeting, which was to succeed it.. The directors were not under any obliga tion to call the present meeting for several months, but as a special general meeting was to be held at the close of the present one, and as the power of the directors ceased on that day, it was necessary to hold the general meeting for the election of directors before the special business could be gone into. When these two lines were originally proposed the state of the railway world was much different to what it was now, but from the altered times and the condition of the money market, and in order to relieve the shareholders of frequent calls for the construction of the line, it was thought best that an arrangement should be come to with an established company. But to make a treaty of the kind referred to, the directors wishcd to be placed in the position and to have the power to do so. The directors hadfound the directors of the Great Western Company willing to treat with them; and although he (the Chair man) was not in a condition to lay any terms before them at present, he had no doubt that some satisfactory arrangement would be come to. All that was required at present was for the shareholders to give the directors power to treat, and for that purpose had the special genetal meeting, which was to follow, been convened. The SECRETARY then read the report : " Whilst your directors have much pleasure in being able to announce to their shareholders the success at tending their application to Parliament for a Bill for making a railway from Maidenhead to Wycombe, and from West Drayton to Uxbridge, the Act for which has been granted and the royal assent given thereto in July last, they cannot but regret that the outlay should have been attended with so heavy an expenditure compared with the magnitude of the undertaking. The Bill had to encounter a strong opposition in the Committee of the House of Commons, of fourteen days duration, with the London and Oxford projected Railway. "The. directors have convened the first general meeting of the proprietors of the company, for the purpose of conforming to the clause of the Consolidation Act, to effect which resolutions will be submitted for your ap• provaL" Mr. DELLONY moved the adoption of the report. Mr. THOMSON seconded the motion; which was put and unanimously agreed to. Resolutions were then submitted and successively carried, appointing Frederic Pratt Barlow, Esq.; Robert Wheeler, Esq.; A. F. Paul, Eq.; George Emery, Esq.; Francis Parker, Esq ; and William Rose, Esq., direc tors, with 400/. a year, and nominating the secretary, Mr. J. H. Wilson, at 1001., and two auditors at 5L each. GREAT WESTERN AND UXBRIDGE RAIL- WAY. The meeting next resolved itself into a general meet ing of the shareholders of this company. Mr. Barlow in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said the same report which had been adopted by the Great Western and Wycombe meeting would do for the present one, and the explanation he had given of the affair of the one company would suffice for the other. The report was then submitted and unanimously adopted. The resolution appointing tile same directors as those' appointed for the previous company, and fixing their remuneration at 2001. a year, were agreed to, and the salary of the secretary fixed at 1001. This terminated the general business of both com panies, and NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. - PORTSMOUTH, SUNDAY. —The Sapph O, 16, Commander Gambier, was inspected and her crew mustered and exercised yesterday, at Spithead, by the Commander-in- Chief, who was pleased to express his unqualified satis faction at the highly efficient appearance and state of the vessel and crew. Commander Gambier has made a most remarkably quick passage from the Cape, the time consumed in sailing from Simon's Bay to Spithead being only 49 days. This fine brig, 428 tons, was built at Woolwich in 1833, on the design of Sir W. Symonds, and has always proved a fast sailer and good sea-boat. Commander Gambier, having had the command of her only since August, 1845, will, of course, have another appointment speedily, or receive that promotion to which the date of his commission (1827) and services entitle him. The Sappho came into harbour yesterday afternoon to be dismantled and paid off. By her we learn, further, that the Cornwall freight-ship arrived at Simon's Bay from Cork, on the 31st of August, with 400 troops on board for the Cape, Mauritius, and Cey lon, the whole of whom were ordered to Algoa Bay, to join the Commander-in-Chief in his pursit of the Kafirs. The Gladiator steam-frigate, Captain Robb, arrived yesterday from Woolwich, it is said to embark Sir IL Pottinger (the newly- a pp o i nte d G overnor of the Cape or Good Hope) and suite for conveyance to the Cape. The whole of the general service men of the St. Vincent are ordered to be transferred to her for the reinforce ment of the Mediterranean squadron under Vice-Admiral l i Sir William Parker. THE REGISTRATIONS. MIDDLESEX. Mr. Shadwell, on Saturday, was engaged at the Sussex Hotel, I 3 ouverie-street, Fleet-street, in revising the lists of persons qualifying for property situate in the various ' parishes of the city of London. Mr. Payne attended for the Conservatives, and Mr. W. H. Jamey for the Liberals. The Rev. J. A. Roberts, rector of St. Alban's, Wood street, was objected to by the Liberals. Mr. Roberts said. that he was possessed of a freehold church and churchyard in right of his position as rector. Mr. James asked Mr. Roberts whether he received any tithes? The Rev. Gentleman said he did not, but was entitled to a certain fixed sum to be raised among the pa rishioners, which had been exacted by statute since the fire of London. Mr. James submitted that this stipend was a personalty, and not a reality. By the Act of Parliament (44th of George 111., c. 89) in the seventh section there was no power conferred upon the minister to distrain, but only those persons who make the rate; and if no rate should be made, what power had the minister to get it? He (I%lr. James) hoped that if the Barrister decided in favour of the vote, he would grant a case for appeal. The Learned BARRISTER referred to the Act, and said the assessment was not made upon the persons, but on " the several houses, buildings, and all such other here ditaments within the parish." Thus the minister re ceived the assessment out of the hereditaments of the parish, and that could not be called a personalty. By the 11th section, if any person shall neglect to pay his assessment, the Lord Mayor or any other magistrate of the city of London, on oath made of the default, may grant to the officer appointed to receive the rate a war rant of distress on the goods and chattels not only of the person liable, but also on those of the occupier of the tenement. This was certainly a charge on land. Mr. James said the question was still whether the stipend was real or personal. He had consulted legal gentlemen, who advised that it was a personalty. If Mr. Roberts had claimed in right of his glebe, he might have had a good qualification. He hoped the Barrister would grant a case, as many votes were affected in a similar manner. The BARRISTER said he hardly saw any ground for a case. DUIVH MAIL. THE HAQUE OCT. 22 .—THE SECOND CHAMBER OF THE STATES-GENERAL.—SevtraI projects of law, with the explanatory memorial, were presented to the Cham ber in this sitting. Among them was that for determin ing the employment of the surplus of the colonial re venue for 1845, which, according to Art. 59 'of the fun damental law, is to be regulated by ten. It results from this project of law that the excess of the surplus of the year 1845 amounts to the sum of 4,718,311 c., which will serve to cover in part the expense of the budget for the same year. It appears also that the total revenue amounted to 33,104,346 f. Another project of law was for the propagation of the law of the 18th of December. 1845, containing measures to encourage importation of provisions for the term of eleven months, that is till the Ist of October, 1847. The nature of the pro pagation is stated to be, that " Though the accounts which the Government has received res pecting the state of the harvest of this year shows that, in all probability; it will not turn out so unfavourably as last year, it is very far frosty being a good harvest." The disease which has affected tld rye this year and the repeated appearance of that which affected the po tato-crop last year, have had an unfavourable effect on the produce, so that it is probable that they will not ex ceed the half of an average crop. Most other countries ate affected in the same manner, in consequence of which prices are everywhere high, and likely so to continue, for which reason the Government feel it to be its duty, to extend the law for the importation of various articles of provisions euty free. THE HAGUE, OCT. 23.--In the sitting of the States- General of this day, a message was received from his Majesty, with a project of law for completing the budget of the 6th of March, 1844. ARNHEM, OCT. 2 1.—T0. day several more rich per sons have passed through this place, with the intention of emigrating to the United States of North America. At the beginning of this week a miller, advanced in years, with his wife and two children, passed through for the same purpose. Most, if not all, of these emi grants complain that, on account of the pressure of the many heavy burdens, they can no longer find a subsist ence in their own country, THE HAGUE, OCT. 22 . —His Majesty has been pleased to select, from the three candidates proposed to him, the Hon. Mr. Bruce, who was president last year. Mr. Bruce, on taking possession of his seat, delivered an address to the Chamber, expressing his gratitude and satisfaction for this new mark of the confidence of his colleagues, and of his Majesty's favour. The Rochester navy lighter arrived yesterday from Devonport with stores. The Eurydice, 26, Captain Anson, sailed this afternoon at twenty minutes past one o ' c l oc k for Plymouth, Lis bon, Gibraltar, Madeira, Ascension (with a mail), and the Cape of Good Hope, to relieve the Conway, 26, Captain Kelly. The Rattlesnake, 26, Captain Stanley, and the Belvi dere provision-ship, Master-Commander Wellington, were removed from the basin yesterday, the former to her hulk, the Dryad, the latter alongside the shear jetty. The Naiad coal depot for Callan is ordered forthwith to be commissioned, with a complement of 46 men. She will be masted to-morrow. The Sylvia tender was docked yesterday for overhaul. WooLwica, Ocr. 24.—The Amphion, 36 gun frigate, fitted with a screw propeller and engines on Count Rosen's principle, was brought out of the basin on Friday and placed in the ordinary. She will be tried in a few days with her stores on board, previously to being commissioned. The Garland, Dover steam-packet, Captain Smithett, will be ready to leave Woolwich on Monday or Tuesday, to resume her duties on the Dover station, her defects having been made good. The Manoeuverer lighter is receiving on board stores for Portsmouth and Plymouth, and will sail on Tue.,day for those ports. The Sphynx steam-frigate, Captain, Robb, on her ar rival at Plymouth will be paid wages there in advance, and then proceed to the East Indies. Captain Brandreth, Royal Engineers, is appointed one of the Commissioners for the Supervision and Regula ting of Railways, with a salary of 1,2001. a year. His removal from the Director of Works Department of the Admiralty at Somerset-house will be much regretted, APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenant C. A. Lodder, to the Sidon steam frigate ; Mr. T. M'Gilton, acting second-class engineer, to Sphynx. Mr. James said, with the Barrister's permission, he would mention the matter again in the course of the day. In Allhallows-the-Less Mr. G. Hudson, the Railway Icing, claimed for a share in a freehold house in Angell place. He was objected to by the Liberals, but a decla ration from him was put in, which was accepted as suffi cient to sustain the vote. In St. Andrew's, Holborn, five rent-charges upon a house in Plough-court, supported by the League agents, were admitted. In the parish of St. Anne, Blackfriars, several new claims were objected to by the overseers solely on the ground of their being such. Mr. Payne and Mr. James both complained of the conduct of the overseers in putting the parties to the trouble of appearing to defend their votes, and suggested that it was a fit case to disallow the overseer's expenses. The BARRISTER said he would consider of it. The Rev. T. Hartwell Horne, rector of St. Edmund the-King, Lombard-street, was objected to by the Liberals upon the same grounds as the preceding case of Mr. Roberts. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD CO 17R7. The October sessions were opened yesterday. The Lord Mayor, the Recorder, Aldermen Musgrove and Farncombe, and Sheriffs Challis and Kinnaird, took their seats on the beach shortly aftei'nine o'clock. The Court was but thinly attended. The grand jury having been sworn, The RECORDER proceeded to deliver his usual charge. He said, the calendar which lay before them contained a list of upwards of 180 prisoners, but that number would, in all probability,:be considerably augmented in the course of the current week during the progress of their labours. But such increased number, including those in the course of examination at the various police offices, and who might be sent for trial in the course of the week, would not exceeed the ordinary number of commitments which usually attended the sessions. The calendar contained several very serious charges. One of those was the crime of murder by the use of the knife, by a single blow, and that blow struck in a moment of considerable excite ment. But it was his duty to tell them, that as far as he could collect from the depositions, there was no ground for reducing the charge below the crime of murder, and therefore it appeared to him to be their bounden duty to put the case, and the charge as it stood, into a further train 'of inquiry, by submitting it to a jury in that court. He abstained, therefore, from entering into particulars, as they might prejudice, or appear to prejudice, their ultimate deterniteation with respect to the case; but as a matter of law, wherein it seas shown that from the violent act of one party the death of another had been occasioned, it lay upon the accused party to excuse, extenuate, or reduce the crime from murder to a lesser offence, unless it should appear in the evidence for the prosecution that there were ex tenuating circumstances which reduced it below the crime of murder. If the evidence adduct el before them was the same as disclosed in the depositions, it was his duty to tell them that there was but one course for them to pursue, namely, to put the case into further investigation. Having said thus much to show the form of proceeding, he should abstain from any further remarks, in order to leave their minds unprejudiced ; the fact of the killing having been proved to their satisfaction, unless there was evidence to reduce the crime below that of murder, it would be their duty to present it to the Court,- The Learned Recorder then referred to the edetirge against three men of having in succession committed criminal assaults on a young woman. He said she was' upon her own showing an unfortunate woman, but had not pursued that living for a length of time, as she had only recently come from the country. He was bound to tell them that the fact of her being an unfortunate per son was no answer to the charge, if it was made manifest to their satisfaction that the act complained of was committed with violence, and against her consent. Even if she was in- duced to accompany one of the parties in ignorance of whom she would meet, and of the treatment to which she would be exposed, if from the moment of discovering was in the company of three men, she from that time resisted, the offence would as much resolve itself into the capital charge as if perpetrated against the most decent person possible. She was as en tirely under the protection of the law ; and it was no answer to the charge to instance her unhappy calling. He suggested the improbability of her being a consenting party, and cited the authority of East, Sergeant Hawkins, and older authorities, in support of the view he (the Recorder) had taken of the case. He then referred to the charge against a father of criminally assaulting two of his children, one 12 and the other under 10 years of ace, which he ch a racteri s ed as cases of the most painful" and revolting character. was surprised to find by the depositions that the magis trate before whom the case was brought admitted the evidence of the wife . against he r h us b an d. I t appeared that they were living 'apart. However politic it might be only to admit the evidence of a wife against her husband when personal prot ect i on was involved, he had no hesitation in recommending them not to hear such a witness, as it was wholly contrary to law to allow the testimony of a wife to be used against her husband, except where the protection of her person was concerned. It was for them to say, whether a prima facie case had or had not been made out with respect to these disgusting and terrible charges. There were four charges of robbery, and three charges of intent to rob, and everything was done in one case except the actual removal of the property, but still it would amount, if the evidence was satisfactory, to an intention to rob. There were three cases of cutting and wounding ; in two of these cases the instrument used was a poker. In one of these cases the circumstances were peculiar. It appeared that the wife of the person so charged complained to the police that she had been beaten aa d ill- used by her husband. Some policemen procured a key of the hus band's house, and as the husband refused to admit them they entered the house and advanced up the stairs. Here they found the man armed with a poker in the act of pro tecting his possession, and himself from being taken into custody. He rushed upon them, and one received serious wounds on the head, and the other several wounds, but not of so serious a character. He mentioned this because the charge was laid under the Ist Vietbria, sec. 1., c. 85, by which it was enacted, " that if any person should wound another, with intent to maim, disfigure, or disable, or do some other grievous bodily harm, lie should be guilty of felony, and be liable to be transported for life, or not less than fifteen years ; or imprisonment, not exceeding three years." Now, in the ordinary course of things, the charge of wounding another in preventing the lawful admission of that party, would be easily dealt with, but in this case, the questiou arose whether the operation which he resisted was a lawful one. If it amounted to manslaughter, still it would be an act according to the determination of the judges, and would amount to what was formerly known as an act committed during the " protection of property." This was, however, omitted in the Act, and the construction to be put upon the law as it o n e f r e fact duty thathtvi o e t been committed with intent to do some grievous bodily t wass tharm,o yodda withoutweta te p t r h ; e k n i taking if gf apprehension, inth.tois consideration actwas it w s a h s t the put the case into further inquiry. It did appear to him t an act rather of indiscretion to forcibly enter a man's house against his will, upon an alleged , assault, which was not witnessed by the parties so enter ing' who, consequently, took the person into cus accrue. There might be something in the complaint of the woman, of which they were not at present informed, Peril df whatever consequences might to justify such an entrance, but from the depositions it appeared that the parties incurred some risk, particularly fighting being es they, on their own authority, entered the man's house against his will for an offence which the parties did not wit ness. There were 22 eases of petty larceny, and 4 cases of manslaughter —one of them caused in an ordinary fight, terminating in the death of one of the combatants. The a fight amounted to unlawful Wood, 24, ht« r ; that was the strict mans aug letter of the mitigating circum stances law but there were in th George e case. After stating that there were 32 cases of larceny by servants, 8 cases of receiving stolen the offence of killing a man in forged goods, and 2 or 3 cases of forging and uttering instruments, be remitted the jury to their duties. Prince, 2G, were indicted for stealing a handkerchief from the perso n of Michael Francis Power. It appeared that theprisoners were seen prowling about the City, and were p watched by three constables of the City police, w William Collor, 2G, and George wh o observed one of them take the pro secutor s handkerchief from his pocket, while the others covered his operations. They were found Guilty, and sentenced to hard labour for a year. MALTA, OCT. 14.—There is not an incident of interest to relate since my last. Her Majesty's ship Fantome has come into port from Beyrout, and will, it is thought, shortly proceed to Corfu to relieve the Tyne, ordered home. Her Majesty's steamer Locust has returned from Tripoli, having on board Messrs. Tidy and Italo, who left this place some fortnight since with dispatches for the Pacha. His Highness the Bey of Tunis is about to proceed to France and England in his new steamer the Dante, re cently presented to him by his Majesty Louis Philippe. We, who know the steamer well, and acknowledge her both in age and slowness to be valueless, admire the cunning of those who devised the gift, and upbraid the fully of the receiver of it. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer the Ariel has arrived here from England, and proceeded on wards to Alexandria. She arrived on the 5 h instant, and astonished every one by the rapidity of her passage, having occupied little more than eight days on her out ward trip. Her destination is secret, but it is presumed that she will take a few trips between Alexandria and Marseilles to test the advantages of the Trieste route, so ably advocated by Lieutenant Waghorn. Mr. Fitch (who assisted Mr. James) contended that the assessment under the Act was not such a quali fication as to entitle the rector to be on the register, as it differed mat er i a lly f rom a rent c h arge granted in lieu etf tithes under the Commutation Act. The BARRISTER. observed, the &v. Gentleman claimed fora " freehold benefice." Mr. Fitch replied, still it must come to the same ques tion. In the 11th section the rate was charged upon the occupiers of land, and irony person should neglect to pay, the Act pointed out a certain course to be adopted, viz., by a distress upon the goods and chattels of the occupier, and not, as under the Commutation Act, by seizing the goods of the tenant, who must charge 'the amount again to his landlord. He (Mr. Fitch) contended that if any occupier left certain premises in arrear for this rate, his successor in the occupation would not be liable to a dis traint for the amount. The collector here observed that he had often done se. Mr. Fitch—Then you have done quite wrong. The rate is charged upon the occupier, and not on the land. The BARRISTER—Supposing a roan takes a house, there being 1001. owing in respect to this rate from the former occupier, is not be liable to lose his goods for the arrear ? Mr. Fitch submitted that he would not, and he thought that those persons whom the collector had so served should have brought an action for trespass. The words of the 11th section, " the occupier fer the time being," meant the occupier during the time of the accruing of the rate. The mode of recovery also differed from that of all other rates. The collector could not, as in the case of a rent-charge in lieu of tithes, go in immediately upon default, but must go before a magistrate of the city, make oath of the debt, and then obtain a warrant to enable him to distrain. A SUSPICIOUS CRAFT. The following is an extract of a letter received at Lloyd's on Saturday, dated Rio Janeiro, August 22: " The British brig Medora fell in, on the coast of Patagonia. l a t. 40 S ., i n J une or July last, with a schooner of about 150 ton; named the Sovereign, with six brass guns, the commander of a hich stated her to be one of her M a j esty ' s sh i ps, but he had no pendant Hying. She was standing to the northward, and was bound for Liverpool. , The officers on deck appe are d i n naval uniform.' The Medora also reports that two other similarly armed schooners, but rather larger, had visited the coast of Patagonia where British ships were collectinc , guano, and were offered freight to take guano to an island, for the purpose of shipment, but refused, stating that they had other objects. The master of one of the vessels wrecked on the coast of Patagonia stated that he Str.W schooner leave Liverpool last November, similar to the above, pierced for, but not showing, gun=, and full of men; but her destination seemed unknown. The BARRISTER said the only thing was, did Mr. James wish for a case, as he was quite of opinion the qualifiCation was sufficient. Mr. James said he certainly did. The BARRISTER then asked whether Mr. Horne pos sessed any other qualification which might render a de cision upon this particular point unnecessary. The overseer said Mr. Horne was entitled to a yearly sum of 1001 derived from houses in Bir,hiu-lane, under a decree in Chancery. Mr. Fitch examined the decree, and said the 100/. was left by a Mr. Long to the rector conditionally upon his performing divine service every Sunday evening. This, he contended, could not be considered as any part of the " freehold benefice" for which Mr. Horne claimed. The BARRISTER, however, thought otherwise, and re tained the name upon that ground. It was ultimately agreed that a ease for the Court of Common Pleas should be drawn up on the facts of the Rev. Mr. Roberta's claim. AWFUL STORIII.—LOSS OF LIFE AND PROPERTY. LLOYD'S, SATURDAY AFTERNOON.—This afternoon's post has brought to hand accounts of a most fearful storm occurring off the western coast during Thursday and Friday. The loss of life and property has been truly frightful, and no doubt by the next mail more ap palling disasters will be communicated. At Newport the gale burst forth about ten o'clock on Thursday morning from N. W. Late in the evening the brig Charlotte, of this port, and the schooner Union, White haven, both bound for Glasgow, were driven from their cables on to the beach, near Poolgwaelcm, and became total wrecks. The Court rose shortly after five o'clock, having dis posed of all parishes up to the letter K inclusive. MILITARY EXPEDITION AGAINST ECUADOR The following letter on the subject of the military ex pedition against Ecuador has been sent by the committee of the South American and Mexican Association to the Foreign-office : By the latest accounts the Martha, of Yarmouth, was a total wreck; captain and mate drowned. A schooner, bound fur Southampton, lost, with all hands, seven in number. The Sir Peregrine, from Bangor for Cork, foundered in shallow water during the hurricane. The crew took.to the rigging, and were in that critical posi tion for eight hours exposed to the full force of the gale cre they were rescued. Eleven heroic fellows manned the life-boat, and preserved them. The beach for miles is strewed with pieces of wreck. The coast on ea-7h side of Aberystwith has been the scene of many awl ill disasters. So heavy a storm has not been experienced near this port fur years. On Friday afternoon a brig and a schooner wen it ashore at the mouth of the Dovey, and it is sadly feared that several of the seamen have perished. At daybreak a barque was seen boating on the low - sands. Tao life-boat was instantly dispatched to the assistance of the crew ; but whether it had succeeded in saving them could not be ascertained, as the bunt had not returned when the particulars were sent off. The Corn wail coast, especially near Padstow, suffered severely. To the we s t war d o f t h at harbour a brigantine, named 1 the Samaritan, from Liverpool to Constantinople, went ashore and was lost, the master and seven of the crew perishing with her. She was laden with bale goods, and therefore her loss will be very considerable. Many fearful wrecks took place near Milford. A barque of fu,l 500 tons burden was wrecked about four miles to the eastward of St. David's Head, and as nothing has been seen of the crew, it is supposed that they have all been lost. A small box has been washed ashore, by which it appears that she is the Buctouch. of London, from Archangel. Her cargo consisted of tar, pitch, tallow, deals, and mats. During the height of the storm the Briton, of Cardigan, was hurled on to the rocks in St. Bride's Bay, and became a perfect wreck. At Swansea, Exmouth, Cardigan, Bideford, and Port land, the damage is described to have been of the most lamentable character. At each of those ports many ,necks occurred, some being attended with loss of life. Some parts of the Irish coast, it appears, experienced the gales severely. A letter from Limerick, dated Oct. 2 1, states that they have occasioned the greatest damage amongst the shipping. It blew terrifically from II N.V. At Boulogne it is said to have blown a hurr, cane. Five vessels were lost near the harbour. " Austinfriars, Oct. 21. My Lord,—The committee of the South American and Mexican Association take the liberty to address your Lordship in consequence of the proceedings now actively going forward for the purpose of sending a military expedition from Spain against the republic of the Equator. " This armament is got up for the avowed purpose of restoring the political administration of the country into the hands of an eminent individual who, for several years, exercised the office of President of that republic, but who has for some time past ceased to do so. "The committee do not presume to offer any remark on the merits or position of the respective political parties in the republic in question, with which, as British sub jects, they have nothing to do ; but this proceeding pre sents for the first time since the republics of Spanish America have established their independence the spec tacle of a foreign force being brought into the country in aid and support of one of the political parties struggling therein. And in this point of view it engages the seri ous attention of parties carrying on commercial pursuits in that quarter of the world. "It is obvious that, if one political section in any- of "these states can succeed in attracting foreign interfer ence to its aid, another may do the same, and that a 'course of civil warfare and anarchy may be opened de sstructive of the prosperity of all commercial pursuits. " The committee do not venture to suggest that her I\tajesty's Government has any power to control pro eeedings which may be taking place in a foreign state; hut it appears that means are being used within the Bzitish empire for taking part in this military expedi ion, the effect of which it is much to be apprehended will be to convey to the people of Spanish America the i mpression that the British nation both encourages and Sar.ctions this hostile movement. It is notorious that hrids have been placed in this country from Spain for t he purpose of purchasing military equipments and ship ping, and that the enlisting Of men under the pretence of emigration is going on in Ireland also for the purpose or this expedition. The manner in which this latter Proceeding is going forward in Ireland, namely, the c lding out to parties engaged the promise of land on tli eir arrival, and yet at the same time forbidding them to• take !heir families for the present, has so far attracted thee notice of the magistrates of Limerick as to cause !rn to issue a public warning against the offers which ha' ye been thus made. CART ACCIDENT IN KING WILLIAM -STREET.-011 Saturday afternoon, about five o'clock, a frightful acci dent occurred in King William-street, City, to Mr. R. Kipling, a commercial traveller, in the firm of Messrs. Robertson, Faithful and Co., wholesale merchants, Wat ling -street. The unfortunate man was crossing the carriage -way in King William-street, with a brown paper parcel under his arm at the time a heavily-lad en cart was pas s i ng , w h en h e dropped the parcel, and in attempting to recover it h e s li ppe d , and fell under the off 1% heel, which passed over the right leg, crushing the lower part of the limb quite flat.

MAC GREGOR OF THE BOARD Cr TRADE. --O R Friday, the directors of the Manchester Chamber of Commerce availed themselves of the presence of Mr. Macgregor in that town, for the purpcse of attending the Athenaeum soirée, to express their high estimation of his personal character, and deep sense of the advantages he had con ferred on British commerce, by entertaining him at a public dinner at the Palatine Hotel. The Right lion. M. Gibson and Mr. M. Philips, the Members for the borough of Manchester, and Mr. Brotherton, were pre sent, and the entertainment, in all respects a most sump tuous Ind elegant one, was a becoming acknowledgment of the merits of their distinguished guest by gentlemen well able to appreciate Mr. Macgregor's services in the cause of commercial free.icm. •" The committee humbly suggest that, in order to ren love all doubt as to the conduct of the British nation irr this matter, it would be expedient for her Majesty's Go vernment, either by proclamation, or in such other yas it may think tit, to call public attention to the pro visions of the Foreign Enlistment Bill, and to give ins tructions for the rigid enforcemeut of its provisions. "I have the honour to be, my Lcrd, "Your most faithful servant, "J. D. FOWLES, "Chairman of the South American and Mexican Association. I‘ The Right ion.

The at inual exhibition of the Loughborough Agricultural asociation took place onFriday last, and as the weathc r F roved favourable an 'unusual degree of interest pre y' ailed throughout the whole of the proceedings. The p toughing matches were well contested, and the show of 1,1 ock was, according to general opinion, larger and f ar s r.aperior to any in pr e c e di ng years. The dinner, at fe - aich nearly one hundred members and friendi of the so ciety were present, was held in the evening. FALLING OF A WALL.—On Saturday afternoon a fearful accident happened at the Carlton Club House, in Pall-mall. A piece of ground by the side of the build as is to be built on to extend the mansion, and in dig ring out some of the earth a wall give way and buried a n tan of the name of Cullen underneath. As soon as he ec tuifi be extricated, it was found he was suffering from so nu serious injury, and on being carried to the West mi nse ter Hospital one of his thighs was pronounced to be extol sively fractured.

E 3 TRAORDINARY COLLISION IN LEITH ROADS.— / The 3 French frigate La PI 6voyante,and the French gun brig: La Chevrotte, sailed on Tuesday morning from their anchorage in Leith-roads. While proceeding on dif ieret.'t tacks they fell foul of each other, when the fri gate sank the lighter vessel in 25 fathoms water.

We understand that four lives were lost, the re st of the crew of the corvette being picked up by the, bo, sts of the frigate.—Edinburgh Chronicle. THE SLIM, - LONDON, TUES:)AY MORNING, OCTOBER 27, 1846 the witness having stated the facts to him, she appealed to a poor old blind man, who was in the shop, in con firmation of her statement as to the disgusting epithets used by the prisoner towards her, when he (the prisoner) immediately rushed at the unfortunate blind man, and struck him a violent blow on the eye, which knocked him down. Air. Kennett, seeing the prisoner was about striking the man again interfered to prevent him, when he was knocked down himself twice. Owing to some new regulations the police have orders to ab stain from interfering with soldiers, except in particular cases, and the result was that a long time elapsed before a picket; could ha brought from the barracks, and the result was that he was at last taken into custody by the police. _ - Several witnesses having confirmed these facts, the jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty, when the Sergeant-Major of the regiment stated that up to the present charge the prisoner had borne a most exemplary character amongst his comrades. Mr. WITUAM, in passing sentence, said, with respect to the police abstaining from interfering with soldiers when guilty of misconduct, he could see no grounds for such an exception in their case any more than any other of her Majesty s subjects. 'He then sentenced the pri soner to be imprisoned six weeks for each assault. SURREY SESSIONS. The Adjourned Sessiohs for the county of Surrey were opened yesterday morning at the Court-house, Newington, before Mr. Puckle and a Nll bench of Ma gistrates. In the course of his address to the grand jury, the CHAIRMAN stated that one of the cases which would be submitted to the Court was of considerable import ance to the puhlic. He alluded to that in which a clergyman and another were charged with a gross assault in a nilway carriage. It might be a matter of conflicting evilenee, but as the parties would, in all probability, surrender during the day in satisfaction of their bail, he trusted there would be no difficulty in coming to a decision. The grand jury having left for the consideration of the bills, the petit jury were duly sworn. The first case taken was the indictment of George Bennett, a pauper, and Joseph Evans. an officer of the City Union, at Marlborough House, Peckham, for an assault on Mary White, on the 4th of May last. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Robinson were retained for the prosecution, and Mr. Charnock appeared to defend the prisoners. The circumstances of the case, which have already appeared frequently, having been stated by the leading counsel, and the several witnesses called to prove the facts as stated, Mr. John Jones, the secretary for the Poo Man's Guardian Society, at whose instance the prosecution was instituted, was called to show the position in which the girls were placed, and that they had no personal interest in obtaining a verdict against the prisoners. He stated that the society had been ori ginated by Mr. Cochrane ; that Lord Ranelagh, Lord John Manners, Mr. B. Bond Cabbell, and several other persons of distinction, were members • and that the runes had been supplied without any solicitation by the public. The girls Smith and Jones had been discovered by handbills, and the society had voluntarily taken up this and similar prosecutions. Mr. CHARNOCIC called several witnesses for the de ence, and Mr. CHAMBERS summed up. - The Jury, after a short consultation, returned a ver dict of Not Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Charles Wood, a young man who lives by going round to public-houses and practising tricks of con juring and legerdemain, was charged before Mr. Hall with being concealed in the house of Mr. Richard Emery, of Chanclos-street, for an unlawful purpose. The prosecutor stated that at a late hour on Saturday night last he discovered the prisoner in the further end of the hall of his house. He gave him into custody. Mr. HALL recognised the prisoner as having been committed from this Court about ten months ago for a felony, for which he was tried at the Old Bailey, and sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. The fact is, the prisoner has been but three weeks out of prison. He was now again committed for one calendar month upon the pre:,ent charge. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. Robert M'Kechnie, a decently dressed individual, was placed at the bar charged with interrupting Divine ser vice in Percy Chapel. Charles Mason, the verger of the chapel, said the de fendant was cn the staircase of the chapel yesterday, be tween six and seven o'clock, drunk, swinging himself to and fro by the hand-rails, and singieg. He put him out and urged him to go home. Five minutes after that he was sent for to take the defendant out of the north aisle along which he had walked, talking aloud while prayers -were being read, disturbing and disgusting all about him. The defendant—The case is bad enough, don't make it worse. The complainant said he turned him out again, and bade him go home, but in less than ten minutes after, the defendant had walked down the south aisle, taken a seat, and again commenced talking during the time of prayers. When the complainant went down to remove him, he refused to rise, and could only be got out by sheer force. The defendant said he was sorry for what had occurred. It was no disposition of his to annoy persons in a place of worship. Mr. HARDWICSe said it was disgraceful that people should not only be int rrupted, but subjected to the in decency and scandal of a person in a state of intoxica tion, walking into and desecrating the place of worship by his presence. Ile ordered the defendant to enter into his own recognizance in 201, and find two sureties of 101. each for his good behaviour for one month. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE NEWMARKET HOUGHTON MEETING.

Ile was employed in the engineer's factory as a labourer, when he by some means fell with a heavy load of iron, receiving a fracture of the leg and severe contusions. He was taken to St. Thomas's Hospital, where he is going on favourably. IMMENSE SALE OF THE BIBLE.—At the annual meeting of the Manchester Auxiliary of the British and Foreign Bible Society on Tuesday, the report which was read stated, that previous to the present year the num ber of copies of the Bible distributed in that district an nually amounted to from 5,000 to 10,000, whilst this year no less a number than 96,000 have been disposed of, being equal to the number disposed of in the previous 12 years. SEDUCTION AND SUICIDE.—On Friday night, at a late hour, an inquest wasiheld at the Blue Pig, St. Mary Axe, before Mr. Payne, for the purpose of inquiringinto the circumstances connected with the death of a young female, aged 16, named Mary Green, who committed 'Weide. The evidence taken proved that deceased had been living in the service of a gentleman named Wit- . kinson, at No. 7, Jeffrey-square. On Friday morning, at a quarter-past ten, she was found in the front kitchen of tier master's house, hanging by the neck to the water pipe that crosses the ceiling, life being quite extinct. It appeared the deceased had formed an attachment to a married man, and that she was influenced to commit the sad act by ascertaining that he was so situated. The jury returned a verdict of temporary insanity. On Saturday morning, about half-past seven o'clock, the body of a man was observed to float through Putney-bridge, towards Wandsworth, arid was picked up by a Fulham waterman, named John Kelley. The deceased had attempted to cross the bridge not an hour before his body was found in the river, but, having no money to pay the toll, was turned back. It would appear that he then went to the Bishop of London's meadows, and deliberately walked into the river, as the tide was then at a very low ebb. The deceased ap pears to be about 55 years of age, is bald-headed, and five feet four inches in height; he has a sallow com plexion. The dress consisted of a brown over coat with fur collar, black body coat, red and black waist coat, and black and brown ribbed trousers. There were found in his pockets a small quantity of bread and cheese, some memorandum-books, some sample locks, and several ironmonger's price cards. From a letter found upon him it has been since ascertained thattt he has a wife and daught er i n Wolverhampton, that was travelling for an ironmonger of that town, had become distressed i n consequence of the slackness of business. The last pension granted by Sir Robert Peel was one of 251. per annum to John Lloyd, in consideration of the services rendered by his ancestors to King Charles It. in his escape aft er t h e b attle of Worcester. THE GREAT B RIT AIN.--It is stated ' that Mr. Mackintosh, the contractor and army accoutrement maker, has undertaken to float and bring off the Great Britain from her position in Dundrutn and offers were a cce p te d , i n preference to those. ofhisiesvpeiraanl the committe e o f the ingenious comp e tit ors, b y pro prietary of that ill-fated vessel. DOVER, OCT. 22.--The weather during the past two days has been exceedingly rough and boi s t erous, so much so that th e B ou l ogne steamers have been prevented leaving that port with the usual regularity, This morn ing, although the sea was still very high at the entrance of Boulogne harbour, that fineleft Boulogne steamer the Ma gician, Captain Mortimer, with 40 passen gers ; and the Queen of the French steamer followed. The passage nn this occasion was made to Dover in less time than to Folkestone. Thereie was an un usua l num b er of persons c o ll ected on -the rto witness th e i r depar ture from Bo u l ogne.

Coastwise, as well as by land carriage and sample, the arrivals of English Wheat, Barley, Malt, Peas, Beans, and Flour, during last week, were on a vely limited scale, but those of Oats were moderate. From Ireland a fair average quantity of Oats came to hand, compared with many pre ceding weeks, but the imports of all articles of foreign grain were unusually small. Fresh up a full average quantity of Wheat came to hand, in fair condition, from Kent; but from Essex and Cambridgeshire the supply was small. On the whole, the stands exhibited a fair number of samples of both red and white. The attendance of buyers was by no means large; and, as most of the dealers are now well in stock, much disinclination was manifested on the part of those pre sent to do business at the present high rates. However, we may consider the very finest parcels to have ruled steady, at prices about equal to those obtained on this day se'imight, but all other kinds were a slow sale, and last week's quota tions were with difficulty supported. At the doss of the market a clearance had not been effected. We understand that rather extensive supplies may be expected this week, as several ships grain -laden have not made their passage, owing to the late boisterous gales. With free foreign Wheat we were well suppiled, and the holders evinced more anxiety to sell than fur some time past. The actual business doing was trifling, yet we can notice no alteration in value. The inquiry for bonded Wheat and other foreign Grain appears to have nearly, or quite subsided, To, ay scarcely a single parcel changed hands for export, hence the quotations must be considered almost nominal. We had a very small quantity of Barley on show. As the supply was by no means adequate to the wants of the trade, the de mand was firm, and, in some instances, selected malting par cels produced a rise of is per quarter. Before the close of business nearly the whole was di; posed of. With Malt we were scantily supplied. For most qualities we have to repot t a very steady demand, at extreme rates. The quality of the Malt on show was very moderate. With 'Oats we were moderately supplied. Fine parcels sold at full prices; but all other kinds were very dull, though we cannot call them cheaper. Beans were in short supply, and steady request, at previous figures. All kinds of Peas were held at extreme rates. Flour moved off slowly at last week's figures.

In addition to the above arrivals, 24 baskets of slaughtered Meat have been received from Hamburgh, per the Caledonia, and which has sold at from 2s 10d to 3s Gd per 81bs, the quality being good. At the outports, viz., Yarmouth, Hull, Newcastle, and Plymouth, nearly 1,800 head of various kinds of stock have been landed, chiefly from Hamburgh and Rot terdam. The arrival at Plymouth embraced 48 Oxen, and 3 Heifers, per the Sylph, from Vivero, and which are advertised to be sold by auction this day (Monday). From Ireland nearly 140 Pigs have been received into London by sea. The number of foreign Beasts on sale here consisted of 180; of Sheep, 260; and of Calves, 18; the whole of which sold at full prices. 'With home-fed Beasts we were moderately well, but not to say heavily, supplied. On the whole the Beef trade was steady, and prices about equal to those ob tained on Monday last, and at which a good clearance was effected. From the southern districts we received 1.800 short-horns ; from the western and midland counties 700 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c. ; and from other parts of Eng land 800 of various breeds. The numbers of Sheep were by no means large, yet the Mutton trade was insa sluggish state, at barely, but at nothing quotatile beneath, last week's prices.

TALLOW. The Tallow market is very firm at the advanced prices, and 50s is currently paying for ordinary first sort of Y. C. Tallow. Out of the very small stock on hand, the quantity of really fine Y. C. Tallow is exceedingly limited, and at least 508 6d is demanded for first in small parcels. For for ward delivery the price is 49s 6d to the end of the year. Town Tallow scarce, at 50s net cash. The advices from St. Petersburg!' are higher prices. 7,000 casks have ar rived i■ the river this morning; but we find, upon inquiry, the price is not likely to recede, all this being required for mmediate delivery. .s.••••.•""" .--.-. and Ardrossan, 269.
