Some additional proofs of a• formal nature, which were not forth comingat the former sitting of the Committee, were adduced in this case, after which the allegations of the petitioners against the Bill were proceeded w:th. Several allegations that the books of reference were incorrect, in as far as they assigned the ownerships of certain fields, closes, and woods, in the parish of Dowdeswell, through which the line is proposed to pass, to parties who had no title in the property, were made out to the satisfaction of the Committee, but the promoters afterwards called a witness to prove thatthe error, if there were any ai all, was attributable to a party who resided in the parish, and whom they employed to supply them with the names of the owners and occupiers of the land in Dowdeswell proposed to be intersected by the line. A number of other objections of a like character were brought for ward, but they were explained away by the promoters, who stated that the errors originated la the slipping of the type on the plans and sections. Another objection was urged by Mr. John Pinnell, the owner and occupier of land in the parish of Westnell, in Oxfordshire, who proved that no application had been made - to him by the promoters ou or before the 31st of December last, in respect of that portion of his property proposed to be taken for the purpose of the railway. He admitted having rece'ved a notice from the Oxford' and Didcot Com pany, but it idno way related or alluded to the present scheme. The agent for the promoters was understood' to explain that the Oxford and Didcot line was connected with the present scheme, and the name of the former was Introduced bath the notice served upOn Mr. Pinnell by mistake. Another allegation made out was that one of the sheets of the books of reference deposited with the clerk of the peace for the county of Oxford was missing, and several 'others of a less important cha racter were proved to the satisfaction of the Committee. — rti Instanec—ehe Committee Aquided that the standing orders had not been compiled with The Committee adjourned at four o'clock till to-morrow.

This was the first case brought under the consideration of the Committee. It had been postponed from a former day, to enable the Parliamentary agent (Mr. Burke) to argue the point whether there had not been a non-compliance with the standing orders in consequence of the promoters of the Bill having put in a declaration instead of a subscription contract for the raising of the necessary funds, and which, in the opinion of the- Committee, was not sufficient, inasmuch as a portion of the promo ters (the Great Western Company) could not be compelled to proceed with the undertaking. Mr. Strutt and Sir Wm. Heathcote (the chairmen of two other Railway Committees) attended specially to hoar the arguments and Join in the decision of the Committee. Mr. Bufme argued the point at great length, and concluded by hoping that if the Committee decided against him, they would permit the promoters to substitute the required contract in place of the de claration. The room was cleared, and after the lapse of an hour and a half we were re-admitted, when the next Bill on the list was called for with eut any reference being made to this by the Committee. We were subsequently infonnet that it was the determination of the Com mittee to communicate their decision to the agent on Thursday. L A M FRT OM .EBILITY.

The petitions against the Bill, complaining of non-compliance with the:standing orders, were then considered. The first petition taken was from Mrs. Frances Mary Richardson Kerr, alleging generally inaccuracy in the notices served on her with reference to description of property through which the railway . proposed to pass. The first specific allegation was that in sections 141 to 14S inclu sive, and lb, 19, 13, 104, &c., in the West Riding of York, the pro perty of petitioner was not set forth correctly in the notices served on her. Mr. rettlCEs admitted that there were errors in the notices. This allegation was sustained. The next allegation was, that the mode in which the property would be affected in the sections in question was not set forth in the schedule. Mr. Plume objected to this allegation boing entered into, inas much► as it was included in the preceding allegation. After some discussion the Chairman ordered the room to be cleared. The CastamaN, on our re-aimission, said that the Committee were of opinion that they might proceed with the allegation, and that they might hear individual cases. The Committee found that the standing orders in this case had not been complied with, inasmuch as the height of the. embankments and cuttings where the railway crossed were not stated. It was next alleged that there was an inaccuracy of the same de scription with reference to the section 119, which was marked 117. Evidence having been heard in support of the allegation, the Com mittee found, that in this case the standing orders had cot been com plied with. The next allegation was that in section 123, in the parish of North Barley, there was a. similar inaccuracy, which was abandoned. The next allegation was, that in section 155 the embankment was not set forth, which was sustained. There was a similar allegation with reference to section 11G, a tram-road marked 110. This allegation was abandoned, as well as some others of a similar *ammeter. It was all that in the same district, where tunnelling was sub. stituted for epee cutting the same was not stated in the schedule. Thi s allegation was sustained. There was a similar allegation with respect to section 35, which was sustained. The next allegati on was, that in various parts of the petitioner's property the depth of the cuttings was not set forth. After some discussion between the agents, the Committee found that in this case the standing orders had been complied with. The next allegation was, that in the cross-sections, where the pro posed alterations in the level were to be made, the same were not set forth. Mr. PARSES contended that this was not a case that came under the standing order. This allegation was sustained. It was next alleged that the radius of the curve of the sixth mile and fifth furlong along the line in the parishof North Barley was not marked correctly. . This allegation was not sustained. An allegation to the same effeet was admitted. It was next alleged that, on the plan deposited with the clerk of the peace, the fences dividing the fields marked sections 154, 155, 158, 165, were not delineated. There was a similar allegation with respect to the section marked 20, a stable adj oinin g a public road, which was sustained. It was next alleged that the line terminated at the point marked 155, in the township of Wyck, which was sustained. A similar allegation was admitted. Several allegations of the same nature were abandoned, and the ease for this petition terminated. The next petition was from Messrs. John, Joseph, Isaac, and Thomas Hollings, 'of Bradford, in the county of York, complaining of non-compliance with the standing orders, by which they were affected by the railway. The first allegation w as that with r espect t o the property which consisted of a mill, Ste. in the township of Poyland iu the parish of Halifax, in the West Riding of the county of York, from sections 3u to 46 no notice was served on the parties. This allegation was sustained. This was the case for this petition.

Since the death of the woman, which hap pened some few weeks ago. information was given to the Hon. and Bev. R. Wilson, of Ashwelthorne, one of the county magistrates, that it was strongly suspected that she had been poisoned by her hus band. The ma gistrates, thinking that such a case ought to be thoroughly investigated, granted a warrant for the apprehension of the husbsuld. and he was remanded until the charge was inquired into.. . On Monday last Mr. Pilgrim, the county coroner, attended, and a most respectable jury was empannelled from the adjoining pa ri,hes. The jury met at the Earl Grey public-house, in Tacolnestoue, The body was exhumed, and a past mortem examination was made by Mr. Barton, of Stratton. Several witnesses were examined but it was found impossible to . proceed fUrther in the investiga tion until the contents of the stomach had been analysed. This, from the state of the body, was found to be a matter of seine little difficulty, and would occupy several days. The inquiry was, there fore, adjourned until Thursday - . l'iir. Barton declined to prbeeed any further in the examination of the body without the assistance of some skilful surgeon and chemist.' To this Mr. Wilson, who attended the inquest, and who confildered the charge one of the greatest im portance, and required a strict investigation, consented. Mr. Firth, of St. Martin's-at -Palace, assisted Mr. Barton in analysing the con tents of the stomach. The Rev. W. Corbould, the rector of the parish, and several of the neighbouring gentry. were in attendance during the inquiry. On Thursday last the coroner and jury again assembled, when Mr. Barton and Mr. Firth, who analysed the stomach, were. examined. They were clearly of:opinion that the deceased died from fever; and not from the effects of poison, and as the evidence given by the other witnesses would not allow the jury to come to any at conclusion, Um - gm tiler yadlct &wanly'. —OW Are" ... _ . INIARCH 11, 1846. PRICE SD. THE POLISH INSURRECTION. The subjoined extracts from the German and Paris papers furnish the latest intelligence respecting this unfortunate affair. The following is the official account furnished to the Austrian Government by the Military Governor of Tarnow, in Galicia:— " TARNOW, FEB. 22.—The news of an approaching attack upon Our town, and of a threatened revolution, having been widely ru moured, we closed ourselves up in our small fortress on the Pith, as If we had been in the midst of war, and on the 18th we received a small reinforcement of two squadrons of cavalry, sent us by the Com mander-in. Chief of our troops,whom the urgency of the circumstances induced to take the step. At length certain information was received that some events of importance were to take place in the coarse of the night of the 18th. We were informed that the first and prin cipal attack was to be made upon Tarnow, and that this was to be the central point of the general insurrection which was to break out throughout the country. We were told that the most ter rible destruction was to be our fate, that assassins were already posted by the side of every German and of every Pole who did not Join in the revolution. It was by a blessing of Providence that we were made aware of the danger twenty-four hours before the revolt was to break out, and we gained at least the time to pre pare our feeble military forces, consisting of two battalions of in fantry and three squadrons of cavalry. All the preparations on the part of the insurgents were, as has since been proved, perfectly or gan'sed, and they had shown much judgment in the choice of their posts, their places of meeting, and attack. They were all provided with the most formidable arms. One only of the most unfortunate preparations for the great struggle was left to the last moment, and its success was made to depend on the success of the fanatics and the impression of the moment. In the night of the 18th to the 19th the communes were to be called upon to join in the movement, and they were to be forced into it by violence if they did not do so willingly. During the whole of the 18th deputations from the neigh bouring and distant communes, which the insurgents had already be gun to prepare for the carnage, arrived at the offices of the magistracy, and in the greatest terror announced the dreadful events with which we were threatened, and while they declared their attachment to the Government, and their aversion to the cause of the insurgents, tivy asked what they were to do. The following answer was given to all :—" Join in no rising. It is treason against the State, and against the Emperor, whose subjects you are. Give me notice of what hap pens in your neighbourhood. It is your most sacred duty, and you will be recompensed for it. If attempts should be made to oblige you to join in treason by force of arms, you will here find a refuge, where you can rally and fight for the good cause. If arms should be given to you to fight against us, bring them here." In point of fact, several deputations had already brought in several functionaries, as persons who had attempted to make them join in the insurrection. At the time that these deputations were coming to us, and before many o: them had time to return to their homes, the carnage commenced in great number of villages. When the communes assembled under the orders of their chiefs, and were armed with forks, pikes, cutlasses, and other instruments of carnage, secretly prepared by the ir.eur gents, and were preparing to march upon Tarnow, they turned their arms ageinst those who had given them, and now refused to follow the leaders. The consequence was a succession of bloody affairs at s 4 the _ places of meeting. Whilst we • passed .the ..night of the 18th to - tlectothlti -- etnee-of eltstraerssespezmogglishaty we were no longer alarmed that we should have thepeasantry against- us, we could not place much dependence upon them, and we were threatened by the insurgents, who were superior in force to us), and disturbed by continual false alarms, we were greatly surprised by the arrival of peasant§ from the neighbourhood of the town, bringing along with them, as prisoners, several gentlemen, inspectors, clergy men, and others, all of whom they placed in the hands of the autho rities, together with a large quantity of arms, which thby had sexed. The peasantry deserve well at our hands for this good work. The prisoners belonged principally to the high mobility, and a great num ber of the chiefs and of the inferior adherents were brought before us bound hand and foot, having been reduced into that state by their own adherents. The spectacle was a terrible one, but still more ter rible was the lesson which it gave, and which proves that treason carries along with it its own punishment, and that it is criminal to turn the people from the path of justice and to imbue them with com munism in place of morality and religion. The result was evident from the very commencement. We had only to tell the peasants who pre sented themselves with prisoners how far they were to go, to what point their efforts in the cause were to extend, and where they were to stop. These advices, it is true, were well received, but already the outrageous fury which had taken possession of them proved to what point the artificial demoralization of the people had reached ; for from the moment when blood was spilt all their bad passions broke loose, and nothing could stop the torrent. Those who succeeded in escaping at the time of the first combats, began to take flight, but on all hands they met with bodies of insurgents who fell upon them the moment they attempted to force a passage. All bonds were broken. The peasants soon constituted themselves judges . and executioners, and, carried away by the excitement and fury, they regarded all pro prietors as joining in the insurrection, and as being, therefore, liable' to their jurisdiction. Deprived of all means of putting a stop to this outbreak, for the proclamations issued for the purpose of re-calling the peopleto order made no impression —and it being impossible to sendtroopi out ofthe town, because in a great part of the environs isolated bands of the insurgents were endeavouring to force the pas- 1 sages leading to the town, and which were defended by the pea santry—the adherents of the revolution in the city were only wait ing for an attack from without to raise the standard of rebellion, which they could aot do till after the departure of the troops. Tire small body of troops could not, therefore, be diminished, for after all the city was the principal place to be defended, and its importance was felt ho Mach by the ihsnrgents, that all their efforts were directed to its capture, It is _possible that many victims have fallen, of whom the law could not have got hold, and others who were entirely innocent; but this is the terrible result , of the events which the senseless instigators of the revolt have brought about. The dreadful scenes which took place cannot be thought of without horror, for the number of dead already brought here amounts to 98. Our hospitals are filled, and the prisons, in which we have placed all the prisoners whom the peasants brought in alive, are filled to overflowing. It was not till yesterday that we were able to take steps to put an end to the ferocious proceedings and pillage of the peasantry. "We have received notice from Bochnia, that during the night before last the insurgents of the eastern circle of the Bochnia were about to march upon Tarnow. It appears, in fact, that a movement has taken place in that quarter, for yesterday some peasants from Bochnia arrived here with prisoners, of whom many were wounded." The Frankfort Journal publishes the following letter, dated Podgorze, the 27th ult.:— " Yesterday, in the afternoon, Major-General Colin left Wadovicz, at the head of five companies of the regiment of infantry of Schnneh ling, a batalliou of the regiment of Furstenwarlher, a squadron of light horse of the regiment of the Emperor Ferdinand, and half a battery of artillery. After sleeping at Isdebnik, he resumed his march on the next day, so as to arrive at Podgorze about six o'clock in the evening. The insurgents had posted themselves on the first floors of the houses and barracks, and opened a fire on the assailants. After a short resistance, however, they retreated across the bridge into Cracow, under a murderous fire of grape shot. An instant afterwards- General Colin was attacked on the opposite side by a baud, "which had sallied from Cracow In the direction of Wieliczka. The Austrians rushed upon that band, killed several, took eighty nine prisoners, and routed the remainder. The trocps had only one killed, the sub-lieutenant Sabranaky, of the regiment of Schmehling, and seven wounded. To-morrow we expect a battalion of the regi ment of La.ad.wehr of Elohenegg, two other companies of &Minh ling, and a second squadron of the light hots* of tile Emperor Ferdi nand. We have no accounts of the insurrection at Wieliczka; we only know that Lieutenant-Colonel Benedekt. who placed himself at the head of the loyal peasantry. defeated with considerable loss a party of Cracovian insurgents who had advanced beyond that town." Letters from Berlin of the 3d instant state that General de Brandenbourg, the commandant of the Prussian troops in Silesia, has received orders not to attack the insurgents at Cracow, excepting in the event of the Austrian troops not succeeding in putting down the insurrection. " Bunten, Masten I.—fly the railway train from Upper Silesia, which arrived here yesterday, we have received accounts from Cra cow direct. The insurgents have demolished the house of the Rus sian chamberlain, de Poleel. Several men of rank, and, among others, Professor W—ski, left Cracow, under the pretext of serv ing the revolution in foreign countries, and have taken refuge in Prussia. Tire provisional Government has therefore determined not to allow any others to leave Cracow. The town is divided into eleven districts, administered by special commissioners. The new Govern ment has already struck off some coin, and issued paper money. It has carried away the rich treasures which were in the cathedral. General Rohl is in command of the troops on the frontier, and it is said that the insurgents have been already summoned to surrender. It is thought that the Prussian troops will act in conjunction with the troops of the other protecting powers." Another letter of the same date says : Since the residents of the protecting powers left the town and the territory of Cracow the place has been entirely in the hands of the insurgents. It is said that there has already beeu an engage ment at Gdow, in Galicia, between theinsurgents and the Austrians, in which the latter were defeated. Some scenes of carnage took place at Cracow on the occasion of the insurrection. A commissary of police, employed to ;meet a clergyman, was cut to pieces with scythes. The Prussian troops are posted along the frontier in the circles of Benthem and Pless. No magazines have been established, and the army is reduced to the resources of that poor and over-popn hated country. The number of Prussian troops in the district is about 5,000, but numerous reserves are collected here, which will be forwarded in cue of need. Accounts from Upper Silesia state that the insurgents have set fire to the town of Nicolai, and that the do mains of the nobility have been everywhere pillaged and destroyed. The insurrection in that quarter is spread i ng rapidly. Count Potekt arrived here from Paris within the last few days. The head of the police refused to vise his passport, but he proceeded without one. lie was, however, arrested at Glenitz. " Letters from Upper Silesia, of the 28th of February, state that the AUStrittriS have quitted Podgorze and retired to Wadowoze, fol lowed by the insurgents, who. it is said, have taken Williezka, and have advanced as far as Guloff, within a league of Bochnia. General Collin was waiting for reinforcements. It is reported at Cracow that the Archduke Ferdinand did not feel himself in surety in Lembourg, and that the insurrection now extended to the frontiers of Russia." " Paris, March 7. " The insurrection which has broken out so generally and so un expectedly in the Polish provinces of Prussia, Russia, and Austria, has produced a sensation among the Polish refugees in France which is difficult to describe. The provisional Government at Cracow has sent word to the Polish deputation in Paris, which consists of refu gee delegates from all the provinces, that it considers itself merely as its representative, and that it is ready to give up the manag2ngeeenst in affairs to it, as soon as called upon to do so. The I b 'ol Paris arc consequently taking effectual steps to eatiedrtrnientiedrslico. reluftiptoryssmibele: Several have already left Paris for Germany , ernes to make their way into Poland, and among thdeoseSt during n s g om the e f o o t. general officers who distinguished themselves in insurrection. s • THILBB O'CLOCK. —A meeting of the members of the Prince Polis Society of May 3, of which held C za rtoryski is president, was to-day at the hotel Lambert, the Prince's residence n as. The P Poland. rince is o red by a large portion of the Polish natio King of 7t•hnesiSdoeciety consists entirely of refugees, and has upwards of 1,000 subscribed members. Three hundred attended the meeting. They declared to the Prince that they were ready to Serve Under his orders, and to recognise his authority as king, but that in the present cir cumstances they thought it best net to raise that question, but to take means for uniting; in their exertions in the cause of their coun try. The Prince replied that he had never had any pretensions to the throne of Poland." THE LATE BRUTAL TREATMENT OF A POLICEMAN AT DEPITORD.—Monday afternoon a very lengthened inquiry took place before Mr. Payne, the City coroner, at Guy's Hospital, touching the death of James Haste, police-constable 334 R, who wits cruelly maltreated by several P üblic-house on the morning of Saturday, the 21st adjacent to the gate of the Dept ult., near the Rodney p, ford dockyard. Four men have been taken into custody for the of fence, and have undergone an examination at Greenwich Police-court, but stand remanded for a fortnight, the particulars of which we pub lished at the time. The same witnesses were examined before the coroner, and nothing fresh was adduced, except the evidence of the sur geon who attended the deceased, and made a postmortem examination. The evidence was as follows :—My name is Frederick Collings, and I am dresser to Mr. Cooper. Early on the morning of Saturday, the 21st ult., the deceased, James Hastie, was brought into the hospital in a state of collapse, arising from lacerated wounds on the face and forehead. There was a severe cut over the right brow, and a compound fracture of the skull. I moved a piece of the bone of the nose, which wee torn away. The left eye was drawn into the wound. There was a severe wound on the right side of the face, supposed to he incised. The teeth were loosened. aged several were knocked out. The compound fracture was near 1414 e right eye, which was entirely smashed. Ile went on favourably for a day or two, when he wll3 seized with epileptic Ills which brought on vomiting. Medicine was prescribed for him, but hemorrhage ensued in the wound, and he never rallied after, but died about half-past 4 o'clock on Saturday morning last, I have since made a post mortem examination, and found the frontal bone fractured, a triangular piece extending an Inch across the forehead. The skull was much depressed, as also was the surface of the brain ; under the former a quantity of blood was discovered, which was evidently produced by the fracture. Death was caused by the frac ture of the apex of the skull. There was also a laceration of the membrane of theebrain, which would cause death. lie (the deceased) was partially sensible up to Friday, but not long together, as he fre quently had fits. I considered that he was not fit to undergo an examination last Wednesday, when Mr. Cottingham attended, nor had he been since. The inquiry had then lasted six hours, when the Coroner informed the jury that the police wished an adjournment, to give them time to make further inquiries; he should, therefore, ad journ until Monday, the 23d instant. HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—On Saturday evening, about half-past aeven o'clock, as Mr. Giles Hall, of Corston, was on the road between Keynsham station and Bridge House public-house, on the Gloucester hill, lie wan met by a man dressed in a smock frock, who knocked him down with an iron bar. On his getting up twe other ruffians came to the spot, and again threw hint down. They then rifled his pockets, and took from him a pinchbeck watch, a gold key, and a metal seal, inscribed " Peter Dirkoven. They also rob bed him of a bag containing 15e. Mr. Hall is considerably advanced in years, and the age of the sufferer renders the offence the more unmanly. In their hurry to escape the thieves left behind themthe iron bar, which proved to be a formidable instrument, sharpene d at the end.—Bath Gazette. that the American Government have accepted a contract i for ed AMERICAN ATLANTIC MAIL STEAMERS. —WO learn that conveyance of the American mails over the Atlan 11 1 g to f powerful e t ee mere, it i s s weet are to be provided, and t o por ts ati,artare are to 1* 10•4300 end :Jo! 11700-7krverool dildot!. 9.—The Brilliant, 20, was commis sioned on Thursday afternoon by Captain Watson, who has since left for town. The Brilliant was a•3B-gun frigate, bat now cut down, has a spar deck, and will mount from 20 to 24 guns of large calibre. TheHavannah, 20, another razee, is preparing for commis sion in. the basin. The alterations of her stern are nearly completed, and in the course of another fortnight she will be ready for commission. The Snake, 16, Commander Thomas B. Brown, was towed to the Nore on Thursday, where she took her powder on board, and having - 'undergone the usual inspection by the Commander-in-Chief, sailed on Friday afternoon for Spit head, where she is to be paid advance wages, and receive her final orders. _ _ _ _ _ The Electra, 18, Commander W. H. ?Maitland, was dis charged from the basin on Thursday, towed to the Sore on Saturday, and mustered and inspected by the Commander in-Chief to• day. She sails for Spithead. Mr. Woodyer, the master, who had his leg so seriously injured on the 24th ult., underwent the operation of amputation of it at Chatham Hospital yesterday, which he is stated to have borne well. Mr. Saunders is appointed to supersede him in the Electra, who, with Mr. Cooke, the first lieutenant, joined last week. The Speedwell, tender to the Blazer, steam-surveying ves sel, has arrived from Harwich to refit, and has been hauled into the North Camber for that purpose. The Lightning steamer, Master Commander Petley, arrived from Woolwich, on Friday,•with Mr. Taylor, master of the Ocean, and the party of men from the ordinary, who navi gated the Fury steam frigate to Liverpool. They came by railway to London. Thil'artarus, steam-surveying vessel, Captain J. Wolfe, having completed her refit, sailed on Saturday to resume her surveying operations on the coast of Ireland. The Cornwall and Conquestador, 50-gun frigates, progress rapidly with their fittings for commission, and the ship wrights are very busy with their new masts, one or two of the old ones having been found rotten. The Cornwall is under the painters' hands, and the caulkers will complete their operations on the Conquestador i this day. The W e n g or cester and Chichester, new 50- frates, are also to be brought forward; one of them is to be taken in hand this week. • They are mere shells at present, and will require some time to be got ready. There is some rumour of the London, 90, being about to be commissioned by Captain W. F. Martin, and of another line of-battle ship being about to be brought forward to exercise the crew of We Trafalgar in, fitting out, but no orders are down ter that effect. The Birkenhead, iron steam-frigate, recently launched from Mr. Laird's building-yard, at Birkenhead, is ordered round here to be fitted for sea. She is the largest iron steamer in the British navy; her engines being collectively of 560- horse power, and her tonrage, carpenter's measurement, 1,400 tons. SERIOUS CHARGE OF FELONY. On Monday a charge of a very serious nature, arising out of some gambling transactions, was heard by the bench of Canter bury magistrates. Such was the interest attached to the proceed ings, and the respectable position of the parties concerned, that there were no fewer than ten magistrates present, the Mayor presiding ; and, a crowded 14111. The defendants were —" Captain" Reynolds; Mr. Hunt, snrgeon ; and Cornelius Saiza,lrenchman and" poet :" And complainant, Joseph Hogg, said to be. a relative of MreHogg, 1-011.1444144116.1k...a1kpeatt0g.,..1ett the hole* Of a friend the pre -v.

After playing with the defendants all night at billiiirdST Meparty-ad iOurned to.the Fleur-de-Lis, Where they continued at cards through out .the. following day. Complainant lost " everything" as lie said, and after being rid of all his cash, 120/., obtained advances of Reynolds upon a hundred pound 'bank receipt. which - eventually—became impounded "for about 601. or 701. Complainant went out and got a cheque for 100/. cashed at the bank,' and bade the authorities there not to cash a 1001. bank receipt, which he had passed under peculiar circumstances. lie returned to the card table, and at " unlimited loo" was eased of 55/. of his last 1001. He placed the remaining 451. in an outer pocket, and threw up the cards. Reynolds went out, and on his return abused the complainant very much for having stopped the payment of the receipt given him. A quarrel ensued, complainant was pushed about, and in two or three minutes afterwards he discovered that the 451. was gone. He accused the party of having robbed him, and threatened to send for a policeman ; upon which Reynolds said, " He would knock his head off if he made any noise ;" and locking the door, refused to allow his depar ture. The waiter was called, but he refused to go for &policeman. Search was made about the room, but no money was found. The waiter stated that" Reynolds was the first to talk about a policeman being obtained, because the complainant had stated he had been robbed. The coMplain rwent a rigid cros.S• examination, but the ma terial point of his sup lion as to liming been robbed in the pre sence of the three defendants remained unshaken. They elicited, however, that the complainantglad offered to compromise the affair if he could get 100/. In defence their solior, remarked upon the ex traordinary and serious nature of the chZ.v, and that by lesson of all the parties who were present being inculpated in the charge they were unable to produce such testimony as they' otherwise would have done, to show that all the money had of complainant had been fairly won ; and . the only ground they proposed to take was to give evidence to shake the complainant's credibility, to which the solicitor for the presceution objected, and the Bench after a lengthened private consultation, decided that it was inadmissible. Such being the case, there was no absolute defence to the charge, and the three defendants were committed for trial for felony, bail being allowed for their appearance. Hunt and Reynolds imme diately put in their bail, but Mr. Satz being comparatively a etrauffic here, he stated he must seek his friends in town. RAILWAY s SHARE MARKETS. MANCHESTER, MAncu 9.

AN INCIDENT AT MoonKEE.—We have been fa voured by an excellent authority with the following account of the death of Father Francis, a Catholic priest, at the battle of Moodkee. The event is the same alluded to by our Contemporary the English man, in its number of the Bth instant :—" We have received the sad intelligence of the death of the Rev. Father Francis of St. Etienne, which most melancholy event took place on the 18th of December last at Moodkee, during the first en gagement of the British with the Seikh army. He was seen, just before the action commenced, en deavouring to animate the soldiers, and exhorting them to place their confidence in the Lord God of Hosts. When the tremendous artillery t F o r r e i t s e k s , ta b n u t t s were anxious of the enemy began to fire, ho went to attend her Majesty's 50th Rthat egiment shouldt into bnaottt expose Catholicsh i the lave of his fellow-creatures and the holy ardour of his divine mission were para s mount over every other feeling ; and in the fond hope that he might valuable asw e life a assist the wounded and soothe the last moments of some expiring canner, he lost sight of his own safety, and, alas ! he fell a victim to was found amongst the heaps of the killed, dreadfully s gyeral wounds inflicted OR his head and neck with a hie noble sense of philanthropy.

The same happened to him when he accompanied the army from Caubul, and when he attended the battle of Maharajpere. The Irish Catholics and many Protestant friends will lament the loss of such a zealous missionary, and will always recollect his wonderful exertions during the cholera in the hospitals of Kurnaul, Agra, and Meenit. We hear that Bishop Borghi has directed two of his clergymen to join the :army of the Sutlej as soon as possible."—Agra Elba?: Jan. 15. ACCIDENT AT BIRMINGNAM.—On Sunday morning considerable excitement was created in Broad-street, by the giving way of the floor of the Scotch Church during the time of Divine service. It appears that the congregation, consisting of between 200 and 300 persons, assembled about eleven o'clock, and imme diately after service was commenced by the Rev. Peter Sibree, Die dependent minister. The Rev. Gentleman had just finished the first hymn, and was rising in prayer previous to reading the Scriptures, when a loud crash was heard at the upper part of the chapel, arsi was immediately followed by loud screams, which threw the entire , congregation into, a state of perturbation. The utmost alarm ensucif rds the door and and it was presently perceived that the floor was giving way. some places had sunk several inches. A rush town rehensione the sides of the building ensued, and the most seriocussaP, e Ir P Sibree ex were entertained for the consequences.
