I THE REGISTRATIONS. CITY OF LONDON. At the sitting of the Court on, Thursday morning the lists for the parishes of ,t. Margaret Pattens and St. Catherine Cree wtie taken, and when they had been disposed of it was round that the overseers of the parishes next in odor on the alphabetical list were not in atten dance. It appeared that they had been summoned by the Liberal agents to attend at half-past twelve o'clock, en the supposition that the Court would be occupied till that time in going through the lists for the parishes of St. Margaret Pattens and St. Catherine Cree. Mr. ARNOLD observed that, in consequence of the in convenience which had resulted from the absence of overseers, he would in future issue summonses requiring their attendance at the sitting of the Court; and he would Inflict the full penalty upon any overseers who were not present when their names were called. In the course of a discussion which took place with regard to proving the authenticity of signatures to the claims, _ _ Mr. Brown said, he believed that some hundreds of the claims to be rated which had been made on behalf of ♦oters by the Anti-Corn-law League did not bear the genuine signatures of the parties in whose names the claims were made. He would certainly require strict proof of the signatures to the claims made on the other side, in all cases where he thought there was any doubt. In some parishes claims to be rated had been made quarter after quarter on behalf of persons who had been dead two years. He could give evidence that this bad been the case in the parish of St. Botolph, Bishops gate. Mr. ARNOLD observed, that if any voter who was ob jected to on such a ground proved his claim, and if he (Mr. Arnold) was not satisfied that the objector had taken proper steps to ascertain that there was good grounds for the objection, he would consider it his duty to allow costs. Benjamin Boyd, of No. 4, New Bank-buildings, was objected to by the Conservatives. It appeared that Mr. Boyd had been abroad since De cember, 1841 ; that he formerly lived with his brother at the house for which he was on the register ; that he still paid his proportion of the expenses of the establish went, and that he was expected to return in a few months. Mr. ARNOLD said that Lord Denman, then Mr. Den tnan, in the course of a discussion in the House of Com mons, had expressed his opinion that a voter who left this country and resided abroad even for a long period, did not lose his right to vote for the premises in respect of which he was registered, if they continued in the oc cupation of any portion of his family. He (Mr. Arnold) fully concurred in this opinion, and he would, therefore, retain the name of Mr. Boyd on the list. Charles James Coates, who claimed to be placed on the register for the parish of St. Margaret, Lothbury, was opposed by Mr. Wansey, on behalf of the Liberals. It was proved that the claim to be rated had been duly served on the overseer, and that a tender of any rates due by the claimant had been made on his behalf by Sewell, an agent of Mr. Brown. Mr. Brown, in reply to questions from Mr. ARNOLD, stated, that he had sent a lithographed circular to Mr. Coates, asking whether he wished to be placed on the register. He - sent, by the messenger who conveyed his note, a form of claim, which was returned to bim with irlr. Coates's signature. He considered that sufficient authority to justify him in directing Sewell to tender the rates due from Mr. Coates. Mr. ARNOLD said Mr. Brown seemed to have volun teered a tender of money for Mr. Coates, but that tender appeared to have been made without any authority from the claimant. Mr. Brown did not show that he had any authority to make the tender, and he (Mr. Arnold) must disallow the claim. Mr. Brown observed, that he (lid not think any inten tion existed on either side of paying the sums which had been tendered. Josiah Bates claimed to be placed on the register for the parish of St. Margaret, Lothbury. W. Aime proved that he had served a claim to be rated on the overseer on behalf of Mr. Bates. He had tendered, payment of the rates due from Mr. Bates, but the over seer informed him that he did not know whether any thing was due or not. Mr. ARNOLD-At the time you tendered the money did you intend, bond fide, to pay any rates that might he due?—l don't know how far lam obliged to answer that question, as the case has not arisen. The witness, in reply to questions from the Revising Barrister, said, I considered that, in making the tender I was fulfilling the requirements of the Reform Act. I had no instructions to do more than make a tender of the money. I generally received my instructions from Mr. Sidney Smith. If the overseer had told me what amount was due from Mr. Bates, I should probably have withdrawn the claim, but the case did not arise. Mr. ARNOLD—Did Mr. Smith ever direct you, in terms, to mkt; a payment? The witness, alter fencing some time, replied—l can not say that he instructed me to do more than to make a tender with the service of each claim. The witness continued—l considered that I complied with my instructions by producing the money. I have made a good many tenders of the same kind—some in every parish in the City. I never had occasion to make a payment. I have withdrawn claims more than once, when the overseers have told me what was the amount due for rates. I generally informed Mr. Smith of these cases, and ha approved of the discretion I had exercised. The money I tendered was in all cases my own. Mr. Vi nosey submitted that a sufficient tender had Leen prayed. Mr. ARNOLD observed, that in similar cases to the pre rent, which hart come before the Court on Monday, his eattention Lad bei partieularly drawn to the terms of iha authority then produced. Under the 30th section of the lieform Act, persons whose names were en the xates were entitled to claim to be registered ; but the section rt(plired that they should actually pay er tender the full amount of the rates then due or owing for the lir.lnises in resfect of which they were rated. The Le rislature evidently cor..templated an actual payment, or et bond fide tender of the rates. The authority which had Leen given to Mr. S. Smith by a claimpt, and which was !produced on Monday, did not adopt the words of the oth sec. of the Reform Act ; it did net authorise Mr. :Smith to "pay" or " under" the amount due, but merely gave an authority to tender payment. He (Mr. Arnold) .had given effect to that and similar authorities in several cases, in consequence of the statements of the cla:mants, that they considered they authorised Mr. Smith or his agents to pay the rate on his behalf. What he had heard to-day, however, had led him to regret that he had placed those claimants on the list, for he feared he had regis tered a great many persons who were not entitled to the franchise. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Aime that his intention was merely to make a tender, with making an actual payment, Mr. Aime had stated that he probably would have withdrawn the claims with respect to which he had tendered payment of rates, if the overseers had informed him of the amount due ; and he had also admitted that he had actually taken this course on more than one occasi n. Under these cir cumstances, he (Mr. Arnold) could only come to the conclusion that the tender was not made bond fide with the view of paying the rates, if any had been due, but that the tender was altogether fraudulent and fictitious. lie considered that the 30th section of the Reform Act had int been complied with—that a sufficient tender had not been made by the claimant or any authorised agent on his behalf. Ho would, therefore, disallow the Mr. Wansey hoped the Court would grant a ease. Mr. AnNoLD—Certainly not. If I did so, I should state to the Court of Common Pleas that the tender was fictitious and fraudulent. After some unimportant cases had been disposed of, Mr. Wanscy said, that on behalf of Josiah Bate!, who expressed great dissatisfaction with the decision of the Court in his case, he had to give notice of appeal. (Mr. Wansey handed up a written notice of appeal to the Revising Barrister.) Mr. ARNOLD observed that he had already stated he would not grant a case. Mr. Wansey said, that unless the Court thought fit to grant him a case, he would make an application to the Court of Common Pleas. No justice could be had in a court in which such decisions were given. Mr. ARNOLD—I trust I shall never hear a❑ observa tion of that kind again. If gentlemen so far forget , themselves as to make observations of that kind, I shall certainly make an order that they shall not be admitted into this court. This is a court of justice, and the pro ceedings must be conducted with some regularity and propriety. (Mr. Arnold afterwards returned the notice of appeal to Mr. Wansey, observing that he had made a note of it.) The following is the result of the day's revision:— Failed or Sustained. Withdrawn. Conservative objections Liberals objections _ _ Doublo objections Liberal objections The statement of the Liberal agents differs slightly from the above. They state that only 29 of their ob jections were disallowed, and that the Conservatives established 26 objections. Mr. Arnold proceeded yesterday with the revision of the lists for the parishes of St. Michael Bassishaw, St. Olave, Jewry, and St. Stephen, Coleman-street. In the case of Henry Hoste, of 76, Basinghall-street, tvho claimed to be placed on the register, Mr. Aime proved that he had served the claim on the 'overseer, to whom he had tendered payment of any rates due. The overseer said he knew nothing about it, and did not receive the money. If the overseer had taken the money, witness would probably have asked for a re ceipt, and he would have looked to Mr. Sidney Smith, his employer, for repayment. By Mr. ARNOLD—In some cases, when overseers have informed me of the amount of rates due from claimants, I have not paid the rates, but have withdrawn the claims. Mr. ARNOLD believed that in this case Mr. Aime had no intention to pay the rates, and that there had not been a sufficient tender. He was willing to grant a case upon the question of law, but if he did so, he would think it right to state his opinion, that when Aime offered the money to the overseer he did not intend to pay the rates due by the claimant. Claim disallowed. Mr. Wansey handed in a notice of appeal on behalf of Mr. Hoste. Mr. ARNOLD observed that if Mr. Wansey would state in writing the precise point of law on which he wished to obtain the decision of the Court of Common Pleas, he (Mr. Arnold) would grant a case. James Griffin claimed to be placed on the register for a warehouse, 13, Btisinghall-street. Mr. Griffin stated, that he occupied a warehouse on the first-floor, of the value of 301. a year. The remainder of th 9 house was occupied by the landlord.

Mr. ARNOLD held the occupation to be sufficient, and allowed the vote.

Conservative objections 65 57 Liberal objections 7 35 Double objections 3 0 Conservative claims ... Liberal claims 2 13 WESTMINSTER. Mr. D. C. Moylan, the Revising Barrister, sat yester day in the Vice-Chancellor's Court, Westminster-hall, to revise the list of voters for the city of Westminster. The following list shows the number o f c l a i ms an d ob jections on both sides:— Claims Objections. Liberals. Tories. Liberals. \ Tories. St. Ann 4 2 1 1 St. Clement 7 t 3 1 21 St. George 35 1 303 St. James l3 11 13 St. John B5 3 35 None. St. Margaret .......... St. Martin 4 1 24 St. Mary 0 0 2 St. Paul 1 0 11 Savoy 206 24 263 Mr. Huggett, secretary to the Westminster Reform Society, and Mr. Trott, appeared to assist the Liberal interest, and Mr. Score watched the prbceedings on be half of the Conservatives. The list of the parish of St. Anne was first gone into. John Price Jones claimed to be placed upon the re gister. He rented apartments at a rent of ss. per week. The landlord resided upon the premises. The BARRISTER said, the Court of Common Pleas had distinctly laid down the rule that where the landlord re sided upon the premises the house was under his con trol, and the other tenants only lodgers, having no right to vote. Mr. Jones considered that he was entitled to a vote, and wished to appeal. The Learned BARRISTER said the law was so clear that he could not grant a case. It would be wasting the time of the Court of Common Pleas. Claim disallowed. Mr. W. James Barry claimed to be placed upon the register on which his name was placed last year. The overseer said the reason of omitting Mr. Barry's name this year was because the assessed taxes were not paid. . . The claimant said the landlord paid the taxes, al though ho (Mr. Barry) had claimed to be assessed. Mr. Trott submitted that, in the 27th section of the Reform Act it was prescribed that " the voter shall Fly all taxes due from him." The two latter words were especially introduced to meet a case where a landlord should omit to pay rates and taxes, and thus disfranchise the tenant. Mr. MOYLAN said, the tenant should find out what taxes were due in respect of his occupation. He could see no distinction between assessed taxes and poor-rates. Although entertaining a strong opinion upon the point that the non payment was fatal to the claim, he would take time to consider. The lists of St. Paul's, Covent-garden, and St. Clement Danes were then gone into; in the latter parish, and also those of St. Mary-le-Strand, and the Savoy, without producing any point of interest. In St. Martin's parish Frederick Rico Farlow claimed to be inserted on the register in respect of a counting house upon the Adelphi Steam-boat Pier. The pier, of which he possessed one-tenth share, was rated at 504 a year, and the rental was 1001 per annum. The BARRISTER allowed the claim. The list of St. Martin's being completed, the Barrister adjourned the Court until this day at 11 o'clock. EAST SURREY. The revision of the list of voters for the eastern divi sion of Surrey was resumed yesterday at the Court• house, Croydon, before Mr. S. C. Fishe, Revising Bar rister. Mr. Drummond attended for the Conservatives, Mr. Russell for the Liberals and free-traders, and Mr. Richards for the Agricultural Protection Society. The list taken was that for the hundred of Walling ton. Here, as at Reigate, the Learned Barrister felt compelled to notice the remissness and indifference exhibited by parties against whom objections had been taken, as to whether they were retained on the register or not. The slightest information with respect to their qualiications, either by person or letter, would be enough ; but he objected to being driven to rely on the casual evidence of persons who happen to be present in the Court as to the property of absent parties. sir. Drummond trusted the Court would not insist on stricter evidence than was thought sufficient on the former occasion. The REVISING BARRISTER had done so in the hope that parties would have taken advantage of the interval to forward the necessary information; but the warning did not seem to have had this effect, and the taking such hearsay evidence rendered the business a mere farce. By the forbearance of the Court, however, many votes were retained with respect to whose qualifications only this secondary evidence could be obtained. The majo rity of the objections were founded upon misdescriptions, which were amended, and the votes retained. Thy greatest nurabi2r of new claims was nawle by the Liberals. In the case of Mr. Bristow, of Beddington, the Court was applied to to amend a misdecription of his qualifi cation, which was err,neously printed in last year's list as a leasehold instead of a freehold. Mr. Drummond considered this one of the cases in whi.-h the Court could interfere to prevent persons being prejudiced by the error or neglect of an overseer. Mr. Bristow had never claimed on a leasehold, but had al ways been registered as a freeholder, with the exception of last year. Mr. Itassell contended that the Court had no power to rectify the mistake by changing the qualification. The It; :VISING BARRISTER declined to make the cor rection; if the party had only taken the trouble to see how he stood on the list, and sent in a fresh claim, the error might have been corrected without difficulty. The vote of Alexander Annan, of Sutton, was ob jected to on the ground that he had signed a contract for the sale of his freehold previous to the 31st of July. The decision was deferred for the production of the con tract itself. The following is the result of the day's proceedings:— Of 166 objections made by the Liberal interest, 40 were sustained; the remainder corrected and passed; 189 new claims have been made good and placed on the list of the free-traders; and up to this day they estimate their gain on the register of the Croydon and Reigate districts at 2.29. After the list had been gone through Mr. Drummond submitted to the Learned Gentleman the opinion of Mr. Arnold, barrister, upon the point involved in the cases of the clergymen whose votes were struck out provi sionally at Reigate, their qualifications as proprietors of tithes in freehold having been changed by commutation in their respective parishes to a fixed rent-charge. The opinion of Mr. Arnold supported the argument of Mr. Drummond, that the votes ought to be retained, the qualification being substantially the same. The REVISING BARRISTER, having read the opinion, said it had not induced him to alter his view of the case ; he did not think the Learned Gentleman was correct ; he treated the rent-charge and the freehold of tithe as ejusdem generic ; he (Mr. Fiche) thought they differed in many respects ; the qualification was changed altogether. lle would, howev e r, give the o pi n i on f ur th er considera tion, and reserve the decision. The votes of ten clergymen are affected by this re served point. MANSLAUGHTER IN LIVERPOOL OF A WIFE BY HER HUSBAND. The particulars of this case, so far as they had trans pired, were published in The Sun yesterday. An in quest was held upon the body before the borough coroner on Wednesday. Bridget Smith was the first witness called. She said— I am daughter of James Smith, and am at present living in the house of the deceased. Her name was Catherine Tully. Her husband's name is Owen Tully. They re • sided in Thomas-street. On Monday evening last the deceased and her husband sat down to tea together, and while they were taking it two women came into the shop, and Mrs. Tully went to serve them. After they had done tea, Mr. Tully said to the deceased, " It's no use me trying to keep a shop when you have so many women coming about you drinking when my back is turned." The deceased then said, " Am I drunk now?" and he re plied, " Yes, you are." She then answered, " Well, if I am, let it be so." He then struck her on the side of the head with his fist while she was sitting on a chair. He went out into the yard, and deceased called out, " Oh, my head." I sent a little girl for Mrs. Murphy, a sister of the deceased, and she came, and said to the deceased, " Sally, mend you, there's always women here when I come in." Mrs. Tully then got up to strike Mrs. Murphy, and Mr. Tully got up and made a blow at the deceased over Mrs. Murphy's shoulder, but the deceased stooped down and avoided it, and he then gave her a kick about the lower part of her abdomen. Two women came in and pia her on a chair, and I then saw a large quantity of blood on the floor just where she had been standing. As soon as she got the kick she gave a great scream. The deceased was taken up stairs, and soon after she died. The deceased was a little in liquor, but Mr. Tully was quite sober. She was not in the habit of getting drunk. I have not seen Mr. Tully since. The deceased and her husband used occasionally to fall out. John Taylor—l am a surgeon, and have made a post mortem examination of the body of the deceased. On the external parts of the body I found lividness on the lower parts of the abdomen, and an abrasion on the lower part of the right buttock, and the left labium was engorged with blood. Internally I found a detachment of the placenta, from which an immense quantity of blood had flowed before death. The whole of the organs of the body were quite blanched, and free from the ordinary quantity of blood. Loss of blood was the immediate cause of death, and the result of external violence on the geni tal, such as a kick or a blow. After a brief address from the Coroner, a verdict of manslaughter was return against Owen Tully, of whom no tidings have as yet been heard. The foreman said the jury had just been handed ls. 6d. a-piece (18s.) for their services, and he begged to ask the coroner whether he had any objection to send that sum as a donation to the Blue Coat Hospital ? The Coroner said he should be happy to transmit it. On putting the question, however, the foreman was surprised to find that only six of the jury would relin quish their individual claim to the ls. 6d. A donation of 9s. and an additional shilling from the foreman, making 106, ut au, was therercao gent t 9 Wlo 1100p44 _ CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. MANSLAUGHTER ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Brown resided at Tottenham, and was formerly in connexion with Mr. Jackson, the contractor. He knew the prisoner, who had entered their service in June, 1844, and after being a short time employed as fitter, he was subsequently made engine -driver, and drove on the line each day for about six months. He seemed to wit ness a careful, cautious man—in fact, extremely so, and was well acquainted with the signals. Cross-examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—He thought it in dispensably necessary that there should be a competent fireman sent with the driver. John Bennisch proved that Clare had been in the habit of driving engines. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—He knew nothing of an engine himself, but he supposed all was right as nothing went wrong when he had seen him driving. Thomas Scott, under-foreman of the locomotive de partment, went with the prisoner Clare and Quennell, the foreman, to Romford with a disabled carriage, and they afterwards returned with some trucks, and two other persons in the employment of the company. One of the men came up to him, but he did not give him per mission to get upon the engine. The other man was taken up on the road. After they got the trucks they waited at the Romford station till the passenger train had passed. He could not say how long they had waited, but he should suppose some fifteen minutes. At Ilford the signal was down, and stopped the engine, because, as he said, "it was against them." When the signal was raised, they passed on at the rate of from twenty five to forty miles an hour. He could see the steam of the passenger train at Ilford. He started from that place some six or eight minutes before witness, and those with him stopped. When they left Ilford they started at the same rate as before. There was no train expected to follow them soon. He did not see the signal until he was at it, and then he saw red. The engine-driver was then blowing his whistle. He noticed the train at the platform after they had passed the signal, and they then tried to stop by easing their breaks, but were unsuccessful. Cross-examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—He was ordered to send Clare with the engine to Romford, and he did partially order Quennel to go as fireman. Clare said " Here is Bill, Bill can go." Witness asked Quennel if he had " fired" before ? He answered, " Yes." He might have read the notice in the engine-room, that no " fitter was to drive an engine." He had often seen it since. He dared not send a competent engineer, when his master ordered him to send Clare. The back of the signal was white, and any person looking at it from the bridge would Gee no other colour. The average of an engineer's pay might be five shillings or 6s. a day. A fitter could make 30s. a week. An engine driver had 6s. a day. After leaving Ilford, and before they reached Forest Hill station, two miles from Stratford, Clare shut off the steam, so as to go slower. There was ne signal at the Forest-gate, and he turned on the steam again. There was a man who put his head out of a box 'window on the bill, but he observed no signal. He knew that it was customary where there were no standing signals to have men stationed on the line. The most expeditious way to stop the engine would be to turn the steam the opposite way, and apply the breaks to the tender. If the valves were out of order the engine would not act so readily. He tried to make the breaks act, but they did not do so readily. The Fire-fiy had since the accident been taken to pieces, but it would no doubt be brought into use when thoroughly repaired. The chimney of the en gine was somewhat damaged when Captain Cod dington tried it next day. He was not aware that it had been repaired before that time. Witness had been given into custody along with five others, but he was discharged after being before the magistrate. He saw the engine taken to pieces, but he did not ob serve that the reversing lever was out of order. He had no doubt that there was something to do with it. There was a piece of string on the top of the lever at the time of the accident, which was intended to supply some de fect. He did not see that the regulator was not in order. William Wenstead was employed to repair the engine. Mr. Samuels was the resident engineer. Neither Mr. Locke nor Mr. Braithwaite attended, to his knowledge, Charles Tomlinson was taken up on the engine on the day of the accident. Clare was driving, and witness observed him trying to stop the engine at the second bridge from the station. Ile did not remember coming into the station. He believed he was on the tender after, but he was so frightened as to be utterly uncon scious of what was going on. —(Laughter.) William Kent, plate layer on the Eastern Counties Railway, was near the Ilford station, and saw the train passing and the engine following at a distance of less than a mile, and goirg much faster than the train. George Birch, manager of the stria' at the Ilford station.—He remembered the arrival of the Ilford up train on the day of the accident. It was due there at 46 minutes past three; while the train remained at the station, and while the signal was clown he saw an en gine and some trucks which stopped when the signal was seen. After the train had gone on five minutes he made the signal to come on slowly, which was attended to. He had known Clare drive engines before on the Cambridge line. Cron:-examined by Mr. MONTAGUE CHAMBERS—The Ipswich train was fifteen minute-s after the time it be came due. It was the duty of the stationmaster, when a train departed and another was to come in immediately after, to hang out a red b ill to the first train, in order to keep the line clear. They had not done so at Ilford, because they were not aware that there was another train approaching. Mr. MONTAGUE CHAMBERS—Why, you say the two trains were at tile station. Witness—The signal was considered sufficient. Mr. MONTAGUE CHAMBERS—Then you don't think it necessary to attach the rod ball ? Witness—Not to ordinary trains. Mr. Justice :MULE--But this was not an ordinary train ; it was an extra train? Witness—But we thought the signal suffi .ient. Mr. Justice MAULE—Then your not hanging out this red ball was contrary to your orders. Witness—We only do that when the train is a spe cial one. Mr. M. CHAMBERS—Then several trains are allowed to pass on without the red ball, although trains are ex pected to follow immediately. Witness—Precisely ; the red ball is always placed in case of special trains. Mr. M. CHAMBERS—Then it is only for the benefit of the directors, when they are on the line. You take especial care of them.—(Laughter.) Witness—l can't say how that is, sir. Mr. Justice MAULE—How far is Forest-gate from Il- ford ? Witness—About a mile. Mr. Justice MAIILE—Then if the red ball bad been attached the man at the Forest-hill station would have been able to stop the train that followed. Cross-examination continued—The windlass that worked the fans was distant faom the latter about 150 yards. He did not know what the signal of one yellow fan meant.—(Laughter.) Mr. M. CHAMBERS--And ' yet you act as station master at Ilford. What do the other colours mean? Witness—The green meant caution ; one red below the green meant that there was something in advance ; two reds meant to stop altogether. In foggy weather a lamp was placed under the fans, but it did not always show them. Thomas Scott considered the prisoner a competent person to drive a train. Cross-examined by Mr. CLARKSON—The prisoner ap plied to him to be allowed to drive a passenger train, which application was refused. He was allowed to drive a goods train, because the driver on the latter did not require to look out so sharply as on the first. John Thorpe, engine-driver—Knew Quennel, who was removed from the London and Birmingham Railway for incapacity. Mr. Samuels, resident engineer on the line, proved the distances of the signals from the different stations, mad, in cross-examination, admitted that if the red board had been affixed to the preceeding train the collision might have been avoided. Captain Coddington, ILE., attached to the railway department of the Board of Trade, went down to Strat ford, and examined the station and windlass. The signal could be seen from the platform, and on the other side for 200 yards. With the view of testing whether this was sufficient to enable a person of ordinary prudence to stop before entering the station, he got the Fire-fly and the same trucks, and going to Ilford, he came back to Sratford at the rate of 25 miles an hour. Without any previous concert with the driver, he ordered him to stop at a point 4.45 yards from the platform, and the engine was stopped in time by the simple application of the breaks. He then went on, and when he came opposite a place where a man was placed with a red flag, he ordered the breaks to be applied again, and the engine, though going before at the rate of 30 miles an hour, stopped at the distance of 468 yards. He went to Ilford again, and although he performed the half-mile before coming to Stratford in 58 seconds, he was enabled, by the application of the breaks, and reversing the engine, to stop short some 10 or 12 yards of the station. A shower of rain came on at the time, which rendered the action of the breaks leSs perfect. When he applied the break, he observed that fuur wheels out of the six were locked, and the remain ing two revolved very slowly. When the engine was re versed, he found it to act very well. In his opinion, the means at the disposal of an engine-driver 91 skill and care would be sufficient to prevent any collision with a train at the Stratford station, if he adopted the proper precautions when he came in sight of the Cross-examined by Mr. CHAMBERS — He did not drive the engine himself, but he did not require to stoop in order to see the signal. If the driver of an engine were not well acquainted with a line he should have the as sistance of a competent fireman. He should not be afraid to drive over a length of 25 miles if he had gone over the line thrice before, but he could not be expected to remember the points on a line of 100 miles. If there were no permanent signal it would be the duty of the company to have persons between the intermediate stations to show a signal to prevent a succeeding train from following that which had passed immediately before. If the person at Forest-hill had shown a signal of danger it might have prevented the collision. The case was here adjourned for a short time. [THE CAMDEN-TOWN RIOT.—The prisoners (seventeen in number) who yesterday pleaded guilty of riotous con duct and assault, were respectively sentenced to periods of three, four, six, and nine months' imprisonment with hard labour.] Mr. MONTAGUE CHAMBERS, in his address to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, complained of the extreme un fairness with which the case had been opened by the Learned Attorney-General. His Learned Friend acted under the instructions of the directors of the Eastern Counties Railway, who endeavoured to screen the mis management which was notoriously known to exist on their line by crushing one of the very meanest of their oervanto. This trita ho (air. Chambers) =tended WU not instituted for the purpose of ;eliciting facts, but for the nominal purpose of exhibiting to the world the desire the ostentatious desire of the Eastern Counties Company to attend to the public safety, while really it was intended for the sole purpose of fixing upon a humble, a prudent, a sober, but poor man, the onus of errors which were attributable solely to themselves. This man, incompe tent to the task of conducting an engine—this man, im paired in his vision—this man, who was paid 255. a week by the company—this man, assisted by another man to act as fireman, a person who had been already discharged from another situation of a similar kind for unfitness—was sent with an imperfect engine, which had been before that time declared unfit for passenger traffic to Romford. He left that place to return to Stratford—and here, if the company really sought to fix the guilt on the proper parties, they should have shown that the signals on the line were properly managed, and that their instructions had been fully attended to. They had, however, signally failed in establishing these points. They did more than fail, for they proved the astounding fact that the acting station masters and signal-men did not even know what the purport of these very signals were. The Learned Counsel then entered at great length into the evidence adduced, and contended that the prisoner was an innocent agent, entrusted with a power which he did not understand, and that the real guilt lay with those who had placed that power in his ignorant hands. In that case double guilt lay with the directors, because even the engine entrusted to the prisoner's care was so imperfect that it would not act as a perfect engine would, and to add to his difficulties the usual precautions which were enforced on every other railway had been wilfully and wantonly neglected upon this line. The Learned Counsel having concluded, Mr. Justice MAULE summed up, and finished at six o'clock. The jury briefly considered, and returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner, of course, was immediately discharged. CAPTAIN RICHARDSON.—We understand that Captain Richardson was this day discharged from custody. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. William Thomas Power, a man 33 years of age, was brought before Alderman Gibbs, in the custody of Daniel Forrester, who apprehended- him at Munich, in Bavaria, upon the chitrge of having conspired, with an other, to defraud Ibia Clonmell branch of the Bank of Ireland, and with%aving himself absconded with cash, the property of that establishment, to the amount of about 13,0001. '- Forrester, accompanied by Enright, a Clonmell con stable, who was acquainted with the person of Power, traced the prisoner to Munich, and took him into cus tody in that town, where he was residing in the name of Prisk, having passed thither with a false passport. It was understood that the prisoner expressed a wish to return to Clonmell, in order to explain the particulars of the transaction in which he was suspected to have been concerned. Patrick Enright, the Clonmell constable, stated that he knew the prisoner to be the person charged with the above-mentioned felony. He also identified the hand writing of Mr. Ryan, the magistrate who signed the war rant, and that of the Lord Mayor of London, who backed it. Witness then applied for leave to take the prisoner to Ireland, and the Alderman accordingly issued an order. Joseph Jones was brought up for re-examination, charged with having forged the name of George Edwards to a transfer of stock, to the amount of 3/. 10s. per an num, on the Bank of England. The sum purported to be transposed by George Edwards, at the request of his wife, and the transfer appeared to be attested by Thomas Crompton, a broker. Upon a former day George Edwards, the proprietor of the stock, proved that that transfer had not been made in his name. It was also stated that Mrs. Edwards lived with the prisoner, and that the name of George Edwards in the transfer-book of the Bank, was in the prisoner's hand writing ; and the prisoner said it would be all right, as Mrs. Edwards was not married to the person of that name legally. Thomas Crompton, examined by Mr. Freshfield, soli citor to the Bank of England, who appeared for the Bank of England, stated that he was a stockbroker, and knew a Mr. Bingley, whom he assisted in business of the kind. He had a recollection of having seen the prisoner before on a sale of stock of 3/. 103. long annui ties. Witness identified the prisoner through the re presentation of Mr. Bingley's clerk, and signed the transfer as a witness. Sold the stock to a Mr. C. Smith. Alderman Ginns—Did yon take the prisoner to the Bank of England? Witness—l did. I always do so. Alderman Gm:is—How could you identify him ? Witness—l identified him merely from the:representa tion of a young man, whom I believe to be nephew of Bingley. Alderman GIBBS—It appears that you identify when you wish to identify. Do you believe him to be the man? Witness—There is a similarity in the appear ance of the prisoner to the person I took to the Bank. Mr. Humphreys (for the prisoner)—lt is upwards of four years since the occurrence is said to have taken place, and you are right in speaking cautiously. Witness—l believe the prisoner is the man. Remandad. MEETING OF SALT MANUFAC TUBERS AT BLACKWRN. On Monday a meeting of the salt manufacturers re sident in Blackburn and its neighbourhood was held at the Hotel, King-street, to take into consideration the important question of the East India Company's salt monopoly. The meeting was most numerously attended. Mr. M. J. FIELDEN was called to the chair, and opened the business of the meeting by announcing that Mr. Stocgueler, the honorary secretary of the salt trade in this country, was present, and would explain the working and prejudicial effects of the existing system under the Hon. East India Company's salt monopoly, and suggest for consideration a course of action by which this meeting might aid in procuring its abolition, and consequent advantages. Mr. STOCGUELER then addressed the meeting, and entered at great length into the question of the ad mission of British salt into India on fair and reason able terms. He had not the least hesitation in ad vocating the destruction of this baneful monopoly, be cause the advantage supposed to be derived from its continuance was purely imaginative, and at the most could only benefit a limited and very wealthy body, whereas its total abolition would be an unquesti o nable a n d immediate blessing to millions of our fellow-creatures in India, and would be followed by solid and lasting benefits to the manufacturing, the shipping, the commercial, in short, to all the interests in this country, of the poor as well as of the rich. The forty. six millions of persons who inhabit the districts within which the monopoly prevailed, and all those who lived in the countries into which the Company's salt was transmitted, were com pelled to pay for the article 75 per cent. more than it could be purchased for in Liverpool. The price charged by the Company at present for 8,200 pounds of salt was 9,360 pence, or above one penny half-farthing per pound. The price of Cheshire and Worcestershire salt, of a quality far superior to that made in India, was 20s. per ton, or twelve pence only for 112 lbs. ; something very much under half a farthing per pound. In England, when the salt which entered into our own articles of food was so concealed that we were almost unconscious of its presence, we could not form an adequate idea of the im portance of the commodity to the wretched Hindoo rus tic. It was almost his only, certainly, his chief condi ment—and to obtain it, so miserably disproportionate were his earnings to his actual wants, that he sacrificed ten weeks' labour per annum to obtain it. All he then obtained was 121bs. for each adult person, a quantity less by 31bs. than the Government, judging by the sup plies to their troops, considered necessary for the poorest classes of Hindoos, and consequently leaving hiaa none for his cattle, none for purposes of manure, none for any purpose but that of partially seasoning his own insipid food. After several other gentlemen had addressed the meeting, and advocated the necessity of destroying in a great part the present monopoly enjoyed by the East India Company, resolutions were unanimously passed, to the effect that the East India Company's monopoly of the manufacture of salt in the East Indies, was not only extremely oppressive to the natives of that country, but injurious to the manufacturing interests of Great Britain, by limiting within Tory narrow bounds the capabilities of the natives to purchase the other necessaries of life. An influential Committee was appointed to promote the object in view, and the meeting separated. UNPUBLISHED LET TER of BURNS. (From the Ayr Observer.) Everything connected with the name of Burns pos sesses more than "an interest," whether it relates to his poems, his songs, or his correspondenc©. The in dustry which has marked the search for whatever wears the impress of his pen, leaves little, at this time of the day, to reward the labour of those who would add to his already voluminous correspondence: but occasion ally trifles aro brought to light, which, if they contribute nothing to the great name of " Coila's Bard," fill up links, or at least show the interest inspired by the smallest remain of him. A correspondent (whose name has frequently appeared in the poetical department of our paper, and who seems to be an enthusiast in poetry, and in all connected with it), has forwarded to us a copy of an unpublished letter of Burns--the MS. itself being so jealously guarded by the possessor, that he will not intrust it out of his own keeping. The letter itself is of no great importance-- perhaps (from incorrect copying, possibly) not altogether intelligible ; but still interesting as a relic of Burns. It is as follows: TO THE HON. HENRY ERSKINE, DEAN OF FACULTY, EDINBURGH. Two o'clock. Sir,—l showed the inclosed political ballad to my Lord Glencairn, to have his opinion whether I should publish it ; as I suspect my political tenets, such as they are, may be rather heretical in the opinion of some of my best friends. I h ave a f ew fi rst pr i nc i p l es i n re li g i on and politics, whi c h, I believe, I would not easily part with ; but for all th e e ti quet t e o f, by w h o m, in w h a t manner, &c., I would not have a dissocial word about it with any one of God's creatures, particularly an honoured patron, or a respected friend.—His Lordship seems to think the piece may appear in print, but de sired me to send you a copy for your suffrage. I am, with the sincerest gratitude for the notice with which you have been pleased to honour the rustic bard, Sir, Your most devoted humble servant. ROBT. BURNS. We have searched the whole correspondence of Burns, and find no communication with Henry Erskine. The present discovery, therefore, opens up a new connexion. As to the " political ballad" which the letter conveyed, we are of opinion that itis as yet unpublished. Of n o ll the preductivws ,of the poet, We C 4 149 4. Su UPC% NO likely to be that referred to. As to the time when the letter was penned, there is every reason to believe that it was immediately after Burns's visit to Edinburgh, in the winter of 1786. Sir Walter Scott says that the Hon. Henry Erskine was one of those who stirred them selves actively in favour of Burns immediately after his arrival in Auld Reckie. Taking this fact in connexion with the other--that no correspondence between Burns and Erskine is published—the above letter, trifling as it is, acquires some importance. The letter itself is upon a common sheet of paper; and the characters cannot be mistaken for those of any other hand than that of Burns. It is in the possession of Mr. Alexander Campbell, Miramichi Buildings, Port- Glasgow —a distant relation, we are given to under stand, of the lamented Mary Campbell. FRIDAY NIGHT'S GAZETTE.

After the Court of Common Council determined on Wednesday to petition both Houses of Parliament to prohibit the interment of the dead within the City, a discussion, of which the following is an abstract, took place upon Mr. Anderton's motion; the successful result of which we mentioned yesterday, to petition Parliament to prevent nuisances arising from steam•engines and firlaces in manufactorie s a nd b u ildi ngs . — Mr. ANDERTON, in bringing forward the motion, said it was one upon a subject of as much importance as that with which the Court had been just occupied. There Was not an individual present who would not agree with him that the nuisance of smoke was one of the most intolerable annoyances to which the population of London were subjected. It was impossible to pass over London-bridge without witnessing its disgusting effects, but the injury it inflicted upon the public health was much more serious than the shock it gave to the public taste and the discoloration it g ave t o th e p u bli c buildings. Liverpool had determined to protect itself, and had procured a Bill to be brought in to compel the manufactories to consume their own smoke. In other large towns similar efforts were being made, and it only remained for London to adopt the humane project of serving the public health by an appeal which, he had no doubt, would be efficacious.—(Hear, hear.) He had no intention at so late an hour to go into the particular merits of the question, especially as the subject had undergone- a great deal of discussion and examination elsewhere. Mr. KING said he would support the motion if it were referred to a committee to draw up the petition. Mr. R. TAYLOR said he spoke from experience when he said nothing objectionable could arise from the pro cess of prevention.—(Hear, hear.) There was, in fact, no occasion at all for smoke, and the removal of the nuisance could be effected in the most extensive cases at a very small cost. Those who saw his (Mr. Taylor's) steam-engines at work would not imagine, from looking at the vents, that they were at work at all ; for they were so constructed as to be capable of consuming their own smoke, and not the slightest annoyance was pro duced when they were in full operation.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. AITCUESON said that Mr. Mackinnon, who had, he believed, the charge of the Parliamentary proceed ings upon the subject, had met with considerable diffi culties, and as it was a subject which involved very large interests, it ought, in his opinion, to be referred to a committee.—(Hear, hear.) Dr. LYNCH said, the atmosphere of large towns was exposed to many causes of vitiation, from which the country was free. The famous old Evelyn, in the time of Charles 11., recommended the removal of all manufac turing establishments from towns. If it were known how soon and how fatally the impurities, arising on every side, from factories, laboratories, breweries, and gas-works, vomiting forth tons of carbon, and other deleterious agents, and polluting the vital air, in which "we live, and move, and have our being," were mixed with the blood, and incorporated with the system, they would not be tolerated a single hour.—(Hear, hear.) To the open spaces, which were few and far between, the' poor, after their day's toil, in vain resorted for pure air. In cities, where wealth accumulated, poverty was banished from its abode, regardless of the misery it had been proved to create. When splendour usurped the surface, degrada tion was compelled to burrow in the earth—space was too extensive a luxury—square feet were sold for guineas. In the alleys, or nests, or horrid holes where miser able wretches lived and clung together, like bats in 'unfrequented vaults, there the leaven of sickness and contagion never ceased to work—there the mortality was 1 in 15. From such places they turned out for better air. They found their health was sacrificed to the cupidity of the few. The atmosphere wide% God had so lavishly provided, which was the first and last food of man, which it was the duty of a good Government to preserve uncontaminated, was poisoned to make a few master men rich.—(Cries of "Hear, hear" and murmurs.) In a London atmosphere all plants perished. Next in susceptibility and tenderness was the child. The mor tality in close neighbourhoods was more,than one-half. In adult life more than 100,000 passed annually through fever. The deaths in England in one year from pre • ventable disease, typhus, the scourge of the poor, were ' frightfully numerous. Fever, like the plague, might be averted by proper sanatory enactments. It was singular that the primary requirements of life-which Heaven had so bounteously distributed to his creatures, were placed be yond the reach of the masses. The nobleman retired to his lordly mansion—the aristocracy of the city to their Tusculan villas at Brixton, Clapham, and Norwood— the productive classes, like the galley-slave chained to his oar, were confined to the vicinity by their occupa tions, and seldom or ,never inhaled a breath of fresh air.— (Loud cries of " Hear.") The next best blessing was a plentiful supply of pure water, tuns of which were about fourteen feet below the surface, but they dared not dig for it. The water was a monopoly in the hands of a company, whose shares had risen from 1001. to 14,000/. each. These things must not be. The cruel monopoly must be broken in pieces. The welfare of society de manded it. The Corporation was, by law and ancient usage, the guardian of the public health. It must assert its high and holy prerogative. London could be made as wholesome as the Surrey hiils by perfect sewerage, by plenty of pure water, and by carrying out th e a mirable scheme of Mr. Anderton.—(Hear, hear.) Science had invented adequate means to consume the smoke. The object must be enforced by the highest pmalties. Cholera threatened to revisit us. It was following its former route—where typhus was found cholera existed, the map of one indicated the other ; the best preventives were good air, good living, and good water.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") Lord John Russell had pledged himself to carry out a great and comprehensive sanatory law. He was perfect master of the•subject. He was deeply penetrated with the evils of the poor. He sympathised with their sufferings, and has resolved to remedy them.—(Hear, hear.) The wealthy order,perceived, by the report of the health of towns, that the efft cts of the wretchedness of the masses might reach them.—(A laugh.) That disease was of an infectious character, as likely to rise in the upper regions as to spread in the lower ranks, and that tlie interests of all classes were identical. He hoped the Corporation would second the holy and noble disposition, and that the neglect of justice would be overtaken by the energies of generosity, the claims of humanity met by the re cognition of its rights, and the horrors of disease and death obviated by a wise, kind, and liberal legisla tion.—(Hear, hear.) - Mr. BENNOCH said, that it might be imagined front the manner of Dr. Lynch that the Court were opposed, in stead of being unanimous on the subject. He (Mr. Ben noch) warmly approved of the proposition of Mr. An derton, and he did not know there was a single dissen tient, notwithstanding the vehemence just displayed.— (" Hear, hear," from Dr. Lynch.) Mr. HARRISON said it was easy enough to petition Parliament to relieve the public from smoke. He had no idea at all to what extent the interference would be effic - acious. He had not heard whether the preventative process was applicable to marine or locomotive engines. Mr. ANDERTON—Not the least doubt of it. Yon can see its operation easily. Mr. IlAunlsoN—fdo not myself knom the fact, and I shall, upon your authority for the fact, vote for your motion. Mr. PRIOR said that he felt great interest in the ques tion. He knew that experiments had been ineffectually made in many extensive manufactories. He had himself set up all night upon many occasions superintending the application, but he had not observed its availability to any extent. He confessed too that he thought there was a good deal of morbid feeling mixed up with the ques tion, and that it would be most dangerous to the poor population to hazard the loss of the extensive manufac tories which were carried on with, and could not be car ried on without smoke. After a few words from Mr. NORRIS in favour of Mr. Anderton's motion, it was carried by acclamation. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, SEPTEMBER 2,5. 151. ' l6 to s.3d - at T vir h e e t s e a r i n e!

EGYPTIAN COOKERY—TIPSY TURKEY...-4 never tasted a better turkey, and, upon complimenting its great delicacy, I learned the Egyptian secret of render ing the flesh particularly tender. Half an hour before the bird is killed, a glass of brandy is poured down its throat, which produces complete intoxication, and the flesh of the tipsy turkey acquires a tenderness superior to that which is produced even by long keeping—a sys tem that would be impracticable in this climate.—Mils Renter's Pilgrimage to Egypt.

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years and t en." 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, fer 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 o 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 lawyer, 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 health] 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 in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availraent hereof in !kilning our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages os our of to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body mar 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 lugs, 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.
