TIE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY MORNING, JANUARY 12, 1846 EXCHEQUER.-(SATURDAY ) (Sittings in Lyndon after Term, before the LORD Cum! , BARON and a Special Jury.) BLACK V. STELNING. ancient rights and privileges, by sending members to the Court of Common Council, and to enjoy the same rights and privileges as Citizens of London. With these few words he would request his Lordship to receive the petition. The petition, which is an exceedingly long document, was then handed to the Lord Mayor, which, amongst other things, set forth : " That Edward IV., by letters patent, dated November 9, 1462, granted all the privileges which heretofore were vested in the Crown, with a yearly fair of three days; also a Court of Piepoudre, and a view of frank pledge: also that the citizens might arrest all felons, and take them to the gaol of Newgate. " That Edward VI, by letters patent, dated April 23, 1550, in consideration of 6471. 2s. ld., and subsequently a further sum of 500 marks, granted the appointment of two coroners, to the exclusion of all other, the King's coroners ; that the Mayor should be the King's excheator, with the power to make his precept to the Sheriff of Surrey, granting also all the manorial rights formerly belonging to the Arch bishop of Canterbury, and Charles Brandon, Duke of Suffolk. That the citizens should enjoy the same rights in the bo rough as they did in the city of London. And that the Mayor, Recorder, and those Aldermen who had been Mayor, should be Justices of the Peace in the borough, so long as they should remain Aldermen. " That in pursuance of the above charter, at a Court of Aldermen held on the 20th of May, 1550, Sir John Avlitre, Knight, was appointed Alderman of the Fridge Ward With out; also that four discreet and substantial freemen of the city, resident in the borough, should be from time to time elected by the inhabitants of the borough, out of whom the Court of Aldermen should elect one to be an Alderman of the City, and to have tea peculiar rule and governance of the borough and town of Southwark. From whence it appears that the intention of the charter of Edward the Sixth was that Southwark should become a part of the city of London, possessing the same rights and privileges." The petition, after proceeding to enumerate a great num ber of privileges which they have been dispossessed of, pro ceeds to state that in addition to these burdens the inhabi tants of Southwark are liable to serve in the militia, and to have soldiers quartered upon them; from which, if the char• ter of Edward the Sixth was acted upon, they ought as citi zens of London to be exempt. the Old Bailey Sessions commence. Bail was imme diately tendered and accepted. BOW:STREET. This was an action on the case to recover damages for the infringement of a patent, to which the defendant had pleaded that he was not guilty. The Solicitor-General, Mr. Martin, and Mr. Webster ap peared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Jervis. Mr. Peacock, and Mr. Pollock for the defendant. The plaintiff was the secretary of a company who had purchased a patent, granted to Mr. Smith, for discovering a new and original mode of applying the principle of the well known Archimedean screw to the propulsion of steam and other ships, and it was to recover damages for the violation of this patent that the present action was brought. Mr. Smith was the first to disco-re& that the Archimedean screw could be made available as a pro peller placed in the dead wood of a ship, and the discovery has long been considered of great value and importance, in so far as it possessed greater advantages than the system of propulsion by paddle-wheels. For instance, it gave more room for stowage, obviated the necessity of having portions of the paddles above the surface of the water, and in many respects rendered a steam-vessel more adapted to the pur poses of war and commerce. The defendant, who was an en gineer at Woolwich, has applied the principle of the screw to several of her Majesty's vessels in the same manner as that specified in Smith's patent, and plaintiff now sought to re cover damages for the injury he had sustained by this appro priation of the invention. A servant in the King of Hanover's establishment at St. James's Palace, named Thomas Tyrrell, was charged with an assault on the door-porter at that establishment. Mr. Huxford stated that the prisoner was a servant at the Palace, but had been suspended for a month, and forbidden the house for that time. He believed the month expired that day. On Friday the prisoner had an interview with Mr. Singleton, the house-steward, at which he was dismissed from the service of the King. At about a quarter to five o'clock in the afternoon, he again came to the Palace and obtained admission. After loitering about the place for a short time he went. away. and in about half an hour returned and again attempted to get in. Witness opened the hall door, and told him he could not be let in. He said he wanted to see M. Singleton, and witness said that Mr. Singleton had left the Palace, and he would find him at his private residence. The prisoner would not go away, and caught him by the neckerchief and attempted to force his way in. Witness was for a time disabled from speaking by the violence of the attack; but as soon as he recovered himself, he called for help, and his son and another person came to his assistance and liberated him. The prisoner was then given in charge to the sergeant of the guard. The witness being cross-examined by Mr. Lewis, who ap peared for the prisoner, stated that the latter had a private room at the Palace, and that he attempted to force his way to this room. He had no right there, however, being sus pended. Mr. Harding, the King of Hanover's librarian at St. James's Palace, partly corroborated the above statement. Mr. Singleton, the steward at the King of Hanover's Pa ace in London, said that the prisoner was suspended by him at the desire of the Comptroller of the Household, but that it was not for a month, but for an indefinite period. He had not forbidden him to come to the Palace, but had requested that he would not. On cross-exlmination he said that the prisoner had been discharged with a mouth's notice. Mr. Lewis, in defence, slid that the prisoner being a servant at the Palace, and having a room there, had a right to go into that room. Any person had a right to use moderate force to get into his own room, and he thought it was not proved that any unnwssary violence had been used. The pri soner was still a servant in the establishment, having received a month's notice, which would not expire until February. Mr. TWYFORD thought that the prisoner had used more violence than was necessar% ' and considered it so violent an assault that he would send the prisoner for trial. The prisoner was accordingly committed, with the under standing, that if he did not repeat the assault, the com plainant would not press the charge. For the defence, it was urged that the invention of the screw itself being of great antiquity, it had long ago become the common property of the world, and had been from time to time applied as a motive power for the propulsion of vessels, raising of water out of wells, and the accomplishment of other objects. It was contended, moreover, that the speci fication of Mr. Smith's invention was vague and incomplete, and on many occasions had been deviated from without its being properly amended.' The LORD CHO F BARON summed up the case very minutely, leaving the jury to decide two questions, viz. : whether the framework was a part of the dead wood, and if so, had it been placed there in the exercise of a spirit of in novation, or was it a colourable imitation ? The jury found that the frame-work was not deadwood, and that it was not a colourable evasion. Under his Lord ship's direction they found the remaining pleas for the plain tiff; they contained the questions of utility, novelty, see., usually raised in patent cases. " That in the year 1660, when the inhabitants were anxious to be separated from the City, they were strenuously and successfully opposed by the City. " The petition concluded by praying that prompt measures would be taken for effectually uniting the Borough with the City, according to the intentions of the charters, and for giving the inhabitants of the Borough an adequate represen tation in the Council of the City, and that they may be exempted from all burdens, personal and pecuniary, in consistent with the rights and privileges of the City of London." CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. SENTENCES. The following is a correct list of sentences passed upon the prisoners at the last session:— To be Transported for Life—Thomas Smith, 24. For Fifteen years—Thomas Bennett, John Reed, alias Frederick Mason, and Charles Bowen. The RECORDEII—Do vou wish this petition to be presented' and brought before the - Court of Common Council ? Mr. PILCHER—Yes ; and also that it be presented to the Court of Aldermen. THE JANUS STEAM-SHIP, TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES, Sut,—The frequent articles inserted in your universally circulated paper relative to the Janus, indicate that the suc cess or failure of the engines, boilers, and lines of construc tion are subjects of public interest. Being thus confirmed in my opinion, I enclose to you the last report made on the original revolving engine erected by the late Adtnir•dty in Portsmouth Dockyard, the performance of which engine gave to the present Board the confidence they have manifested in promoting the at tainment of an object highly interesting to the naval service. Those only who attempt to introduce an important no velty can estimate the effects of jealousy and prejudice. I confide, however, in your liberality to aid in their removal, and beg that you will inquire whether any reciprocating en gine has ever performed duty equivalent to thirteen copse, cutive double voyages from England to America (as the Portsmouth engine has done), almost without repair? 1 am, Sir, your obedient servant, Portsmouth, Jan. 8. DUNDONALD. For Fourteen Years—John Dancock, George Bates William Wilkes. The LORD MAYOR said that he would take care that the wishes of the petitioners were complied with, and would be most happy to lend his aid in getting a restoration of their privileges. The RECORDER observed that the charter of Edward VI. gave the inhabitants a court of law possessing the same power as the Lord Ma% or's Court did. Mr. CLARK, the clerk of the arraigns, said the Court of Quarter Sessions possessed the power to try capital felonies. The LORD MAYOR said that lie would take care that proper attention was paid to the petition. The grand jury then entered, when, having informed the Court there had been no bills presented, they were discharged, and the sessions were adjourned until the 9th of April. For Ten Years—John Thomas, Philip Wetzel, Fred erick Bunyan, Charles Shannon, James Norman, George Lake, William Frederick Kelly, John Concannon, Wil liam Breeson, Edward Cunningham, Henry Mortimer, William Tapson, William Mills. For Seven Years—John Kloba, James Darks, Thomas Pennyfather, John Bradley, Jeremiah Graham, alias John Scott, William Porter, Henry Harman, Thomas alias James Henville, John Wilson, Frederick Fitzgerald. Imprisonment and Hard Labour for Two Years— William Bennett, Edward Hogwood, George Senders, alias Andrews. For Eighteen Months—Dqnnis Shine. For TWelve Months—Peter Burgess, Thomas Blaka, Benjamin Brown, John Moore, Henry Brown, Frances Read, Eliza Cross, John Gordon, Henry Prescott, George Mitchell, Henry Jameson, William Roberts, Mary Davis, John White, James Hudson, Emma Austen, Mary Anne Williams. POLICE INTELLIGENCE, GUILDHALL. On Saturday, Henry Bushell, a young man of respect ' able appearance., was brought before Mr. Alderman ' Moon, charged with uttering a forged cheque for 3801. on Messrs. Child, the bankers, purporting to be drawn by Lord Ducie, who is a customer of that house. Mr. Clarkson attended on behalf of the prisoner ; Mr. Pickering, a solicitor, conducted the prosecution. Mr. Pickering now proposed to add to the testimony of the porter and the clerk at the banking-house, the evidence of tee servant who delivered the note addressed to Mr. Briggs, and gave Mr. Briggs's a'twer containing the forged cheque to the porter. Ruth Alcock, the servant of No. 30 A, Wigmore• street, stated that on Monday last, the prisoner came be tween eleven and twelve o'cloek in the morning, to look at some rooms that were to be let. He came again about oae o'clock, when her mistress was our, and asked for some paper, and a pen and ink to write a note. Masked if anybody had been there inquiring for him. She said no person had callee ; but while he was finishing the note the bell was rung, and the porter now present brought the letter, which she delivered to the prisoner. Without opening it he gave her the note he had pre viously written, and sealed, desiring her to tell the por. ter to get back as quick as he possibly could. She saw the address on it was Messrs. Child and Co. Mr. Pickering prayed a remand, as he was unable to put Lord Ducie in the box that day to prove that his si g nature had been forged. Ittr. Alderman Moor; directed that his money should be restored, amounting to 71., and he remanded the pri soner till Saturday next. MARLBOBOUGH:-STREET. Mrs. Hughes, of No. 2, Great Rider-street, was sum moned by the well-known Mr. Richard Dunn, a bar rister, for detaining, without just cause, two portman teaus, twenty-five books, a carpet-bag, shirts, Lreeches, boots, and spurs, &c. Mr. Dunn, it appeared, during the lifetime of Mrs. Hughes's husband, lodged in Mr. Hughes's house, in Bury-street. In 1841, in consequence of Mr. Dunn's persevering pursuit of a young lady of large fortune and distinction, proceedings were taken against him, the result of which was, that Mr. Dunn was condemned in the costs to the amount of 801., which he refused to pay, which rail-al led to his confinement in the Queen's Bench Prison. After an imprisonment of seven years, Mr. Dunn took the benefit of the Bankruptcy Court, and obtained his liberty. The present proceedings were instituted for the purpose of recovering certain property, which had been left in the custody of Mrs. Hughes at the time of Mr. Dunn's arrest. The answer to the claim was that Mr. Dunn left the house 141. in debt for lodgings, and that as soon as this demand was satisfied the property claimed would be restored. Mr. Dunn contended that Mrs. Hughes had no authe rity to detain the property, or to claim the debt. She was not the legal representative of her husband, inas much as she had not taken out letters of administrwien. Mr. Humphries, who attended for the deferelant, re minded Mr. Dunn that he had recently obtained the pro. tection of the Bankruptcy Court by assigning his property to the Court. Mr. Dunn said there were excepted articles in his schedule, and the articles in question, he believed, formed part of those articles- Mr. Humphries said books could not be among the excepted articles. He submitted to the Court that Mr. Dunn was not in a situation to ask for the property in question ; for, even if proved to belong to- him, it must be claimed by the assignees of the Bankruptcy Court. In the course of the proceedings Mr. Dunn made a long and rambling address, in which he referred to the persecutions '• he had for years sustained from Mr. Hum: phries." Mr. HARDWICK reminded Mr. Dunn that these "per secutions," as he trrmed them, were only the result of professional instructions which Mr. Humphries had re ceived from his cli nt. The summons was dismissed. IVORSHIP-STREET. On Saturday Mr. Henry Elteridye, described as a lieutenant in the navy, was charged on a warrant before Mr. Broughton with committing a violent assault upon Thomas John Yardley, a youth, fourteen years of age, son of Mr. Yardley, vestry clerk of Stoke Newington. The young complainant stated that on the 10th of last month he was on Hackney-downs with other boys, play ing at a game called " rounder," and had a small dog with him, when he saw the defendant.coming across with a large bull dog. and he took -his little dog up in his arms. The defendant, however, clapped his hands to set on the great bull dog, and complainant, in fright, dropped his dog, which the larger one then began to worry. The, complainant said he was afraid that his little dog would be killed, and he again got it into his arms, and threw a stone at the other, upon which the defendant string hire a blow in the eye and knocked him down. He got up and begged of the defendant to prevent the hull dog from injuring his little one, but the defendant knocked him down a second and a third time, and would have done so again, but for a man who cam= up and threatened to knock the defendant himself down. unless he desisted from his violence. The defendant, he said, struck him in thi eye with his clenched fist every time. REPORT ON THE EARL OF DUNDONALD'S ROTATORY ENGINE ERECTED IN HER MAJESTY'S DOCKYARD AT PORTSMOUTH. On the 22d of December, 1845, two years and nine months of constant performance .of the rotatory engine expires, during all which time it. has been working in the most effec tual and satisfactory mariner, nu derangement of consequence having ever taken place, It is presumed that these two years and nine months of constant and laborious operation (requiring no more than slight attention by the workmen) have gone far to establish that quality which, until row, had not been sufficiently de veloped—namely, durability, and consequent continuity cf operation. For Nine Months—Miry Anne Nye. For Six Months—James Thorn. Arthur Webb, Mary Barrett, Mary Anne Lloyd, Daniel Cruikshank, Mary Green, John Young, Pierce Driscall. James Parker, John Ashford, Richard Carter, William Long, Amelia Haynes, Thomas Walker, Alfred Hay, Rosina Bayley, George Evans, Robert Studley, Charles Holmes, Abra ham Wheeler. John Mansell, Isaac Hoare, Benjamin Shepherd, William Stockwell, William Deacon, Mary Wilson. - The principal repair the engine has required was taken in hand about nine months ago. This was so trifling, that six men could have accomplished it in one day, but having been much pressed with work at the time, one man only could be spared, which consequently protracted its comple tion for one week. For *Four Months—William Hewson, John Greimne, Benjamin Freeman, John Jetty. For Three Months—Thomas Scalfield, William Cod, John Wheatley, James Beasley, Edward Heawood, Barbara Goulding, Mary Green, John Reilly, Thomas Hamilton. For Two Months—Edward Home. Thus after four years and nine months constant working as a prime mover, two years and nine months of which have been so successfully performed, nothing more can be wanting even by the most sceptical to establish its merits as a powerful, economical, and durable engine, equal in point of efficiency to any reciprocating engine in her Ma jestv's service. Should additional evidence be sought to establish further claims as a rival in steam mechanism, it is to be found in the simple fact, that this first essay on the Earl of Dundonald's principle, although at. first altered and mutilated to bring it to perfection, is nevertheless at the present time perfectly free from those indications of weakness and declining energy which any other engine, under similar circumstances, might probably evince, as is proved by its exhibiting a vacuum at all times equal to 28 inches of mercury. Another fact which gives great confidence in the utility and applicability of this principle is its freedom from liabi lity tc internal derangement, and consequently the service in which it is engaged is scarcely ever inconvenienced by stoppages. The engine has not been opened for examination since July last. . _ _ Several other prisoners were sentenced to undergo dif ferent shorter periods of imprisonment, varying from one month to seven days in Newgate. The following were acquitted :—George John Ford, Richard Riley, John Tubbs, David Lewis, Elizabeth James, Susanah James, Ellen Dasey, Richard Warwick, James Hogan, Anne Hogan, William Barry, Edward Walker, William Probett, John Brummell, John Strutt, George Dickenson, Thomas Emmerson, Mary Anne Sears, Mary Anne Chalk, John Tew, William Oldham, Thomas Roberts, Mary Roberts, Richard George Reef, Robert Downs, Thomas Bash, William Bond, Elizabeth Sanders, James Whitside, Caroline Barbar, Anne Jones, William Gibbs, Joseph Mitchley, Mary Day, Henry Joseph Killerby. There was only one bill ignored by the Grand Jury, viz., against Isaac Clark. Judgments Respited—Henry Spicer, Mary Smith. Remanded to the next Session—George Johnstone, for murder ; George Green, James Thomas. The C•Jurt at its rising adjourned to Monday, Feb. 2. R. TAPLIN, Engineer and ➢lachinist. Her Majesty's Dockyard, Portsmouth, Dec. 31, 1845 RAIL • AY ENIERPRIsE. JUDGES IN ROUTINE AT THE The following reflections upon railway enterprise are interesting just now, and are written by an enlightened man of business:— OLD BAILEY. The following are the times and the order in which the Judges of the superior Courts at Westminster will preside at the Central Criminal Court sessions, up to Michaelmas Term next : "'Tae most remarkable feature of the present age is the gigantic grandeur of its commerciol designs. Great public enterprises were formerly the work of great men. Then the individual stood forth in solitary ;.zreatn.-ss from th. , ma ,s of his fellows—empi.rors. kings, and generals commanded and their works arose. Thus the pyramids were built, and the dams of the Nilo con structed ; thus the most famous cities were created ; thus the viaducts of Rome ,ere formed —nay even in modern times—thus the nay) cf Russia was built ; thus Napoleon intersected Europe with highways for his countless armies. But e, change, and that a sudden one. has taken place. A few years of peace and successful commerce have raised a crass unknown to ancient his tory—a class faintly typified in the merchant princes of Tyre. Now the mass stands out in bold relief from the mass of former ages—individuality is on the wane—what was formerly done by the famous is now being done by the many ; companies are exercising greater power than Courts ; the merchants are outstripping the monarchs. Great men are growing scarce in proportion as things are being done—they are lost sight of in the grandeur of the designs in which they are engaged. Men are looking small by the side of iheir own works. Monday, Feb. 2, and two following days—Mr. Justice Williams, Mr. Baron Rolfe, and Mr. Justice Cresswell.

(Before the LORD MAYOR, RECORDER, &c.) ASSAULT AT A ,RAILWAY COMPANY'S OFFICE.—MT. Rath bone, the secretary of the Leicester and Tamworth Junction Railway, was indicted for having rommitted an assault on Mr. J. D. Lewis, a news agent. Mr. CLARKSON stated the facts, and called Mr. Lewis, who deposed that he had been employed by the Directors of the above Company to insert advertisements in the different London papers. His bill amounted to 4061., and he sent in his account, on which a cheque, signed by the Chairman and two of the Directors, Was forwarded to his office. It was, however, crossed, and the figures had been altered to 3001., and on presenting it to the bankers they declined to pay it. He therefore went to the Com pony's offices and saw the defendant, who said that he would send his clerk round to the bankers to see if they would pay it. During the conversation Mr. Villiers, the Deputy Chair man was announced, and defendant immediately told witness that he could not do anything in the matter, and wit ness must leave the office. Witness expostulated, and desired to see Mr. Villiers, saying that they might probably be able to arrange the matter by having another cheque. The defendant said that another could not be got, nor could the initials be obtained, as Mr. Field, one of the Directors, who had signed the cheque was ill, and Mr. Harris had that morning gone to Italy. Witness was proceeding towards the board-room when defendant seized him - by the collar, and attempted to force him out of the room, and then caught hold of him by the throat, squeezing him so tight that he gasped:forjbreath, and felt the blood flowing up to his head ; he contrived to release himself, when the defendant rushed to the fire-place. and again seized witness, flourishing the poker over his head, and said, " D—n you, if you don't go out, I'll split your skull; 11l smash your brains out." Witness called " Murder," and several persons went to his assistance. Mr. Villiers was there, but he declined to inter fere. During the struggle, witnes►'s thumb was cut with a paper knife. lie was much injured by the pressure on the throat, and was under the treatment of Dr. Ogle, in conse quence, for a fortnight. Mr. BALLANTINE cross-examined the witness, in order to show that the account had been contracted before Mr. Villiers joined the directors, and that therefore the witness was not justified in pressing to the board-room. The RECORDER considered it irrelevant. Mr. Lewis had got a useless cheque, and he was justified in going to get it set right ; but, under any circumstances, it was excessive vio lence to take up a poker in the menacing way the defendant was sworn to have done. " As usual, England takes the lead, in fact, if we leave America out of the question, British enterprise and Bri tish gold are charging the face of the earth. But great projectors often turn mad, and we are afraid Great Bri tain is a little touched. Nevr before was John Bull is such a state of excitement. In fact he is railway mad. THUNDER-STORM AT iIHE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. (From a Graham's Town Journal.) . . Grahatn's Town was visited on Thursday evening last. the 16th of October, by a severe thunder-storm, which was very near being attended with the most calamitous results. Never do we remember to have witnessed light ning of a greater intensity or accompanied with such a remarkable carmine blaze cif light. The flash at each discharge, instead of being instantaneous, appeared to be a continuous stream of electricity pouring down for an appreciable interval of time, and leaving behind it a faint streak of white light—whilst the simultaneous crash of the thunder was truly terrific. The electric fluid struck several times in different parts of the town, and at half past six a broad stream of light was observed to descend behind the Drosty Barrack, accompanied by a deafening peal of thunder. This, it was afterwards ascertained, struck the powder-magazine, containing about 60,0001b5. of gunpowder, besides large quantities of shells, rockets, ball-cartridges, &c. The lightning, it appears, first struck the gable-end on the eastern side of the building fining the town, where the fluid separated, one stream passing directly downwards, leaving a black streak on the wall inside the magazine—the other branching off to the porch, shattering the wall in several laces, and tear ing off a portion of the door-post. The sentry, who was at a distance of about forty feet from the spot where the lightning struck, was thrown to the ground, and re mained in a state of insensibility, for an hour and a half, when he was diseovered and removed to the hospital, where he now is, we are happy to be enabled to state, gradually recovering. If the electric fluid had struck a few feet further to the westward on the ridge, there is every reason to believe that the magazine would have been laid in ruins. It is sail that in consequence of the cast wall being rather damp, the powder was removed f( um actual contact with it some short time ago, and that perhaps to this circumstance, and to the fact of the damp wall conducting the electricity more readily into the earth, our providential escape may he attributed. About seven or eight months ay. we directed attention to the exposed situation of this powner magazine in par ticular, having on two occasions witnessed the lightning strike within a short distance of it. Estimates were at that time prepared by the commanding officer of en gincers, and sent home, for the erection of two con ductors. but were disallowed by the authorities at home. The calculated expense of the two conductors, with the necessary tanks and apparatus, was, we believe, about 501.; and for this paltry sum the whole, of. the Govern ment buildings, and half the town and its inhabitants have been placed in jeopardy, and have narrowly escaped destruction- We are happy to learn, however, that ap plication has been made to the Governor to sanction their immediate erection. The private powder magazines near the mill should also be protected by lightning rods; they generally contain from 30,0001b5. to 40,0001b5. of gun powder. George Barrow, a farmer's man, said he was at same distance when he saw the boys playing at rounder, and one of them came running to him, and begged his pro tection for the complainant, who was being ill used by a man. He himself saw the complainant knocked down three times, aral the defendant gave him regular knock down blows. de then went to the spot, and told the defendant he was no gentleman to act in such a way, and desired him to let the boy and his dog alone. The animal which the defendant had with him was a large bull dog. Mr. Yardley, sen., stated that when his son came home and complained to him his eye was much contus-d, and it was black for a week afterwards. lie had since re ceived a letter, now praduced, from the defendant, in answer to an application from him, stating that the mat ter had been greatly exaggerated. Holland, the officer who served the warrant, said he hai made particular inquiry, and ascertained tbat the defendant was not a lieutenant in the royal navy, but an officer in the Indian naval service. The defendant said that was the fact. He was not .n the royal navy, but a lieutenant on furlough, in the Indian merchant service. In answer to the charge, he said that he was abused by th.. complainant, and boxed his ears in return, but he dente d having struck him down by blows in the manner stated by the complainant and the witness, who, he sAi, was at too great a distance to see what blows were struck; and the witness, he believed, RETIREMENT OF MR.

Mr. Winton, clerk to the last witness, was called, and cor roborated hip evidence in every particular ; adding, that before the day in question, he called on defendant for the account, and defendant asked him what `• consideration" Messrs. Lewis and Lowe intended to give him (meaning what per centage). Witness said, he could not make or accept any offer of the sort, but would see Messrs. Lewis and Lowe, and call again. He, however, did not call, but accompanied Mr. Lewis to the office. Mr. BALLANTINE then addressed the jury for the defendant. He said that there had not been a word said against the re spectability of the Company or their honourable intentions, and the payment of the 3001. showed they were willing to pay what was just. He regretted that he had been stopped in the course of his examination to show under what circumstances the cheque had been changed, and that Mr. Villiers was not in connexion with the Company when the claim was incurred, as he should then have argued that Mr. Lewis was impro perly intruding himself. He urged that the actual violence was very slight, and such as must occur in ejecting an in truder—that the mere threat of using the poker amounted to nothing without the blow. The RECORDER summed up, and the jury returned a ver dict of Guilty. • In passing ✓ sentence, the RECORDER said it was a very vio lent assault. For the credit both of defendant and the com pany, every exertion ought to have been made to get the cheque set right. The refusal to let Mr. Lewis see the Directors coupled with the demand of a "consideration," which was improper and unjust to the company, looked very suspicious.

THE " DRAB COLOURED MEN" OUT OF DEBT.— The Philadelphia correspondent of the N ew Y or k Commercial Advertiser says :—At Messrs. Shuther's marble-yard, in this city, may be seen the corner-stone of the private residence of General Washington. It bears the, following inscription :—" This corner-stone of a house to accommodate the President of the United States, was laid, May 10, 1792, when Pennsylvania was happily out of debt. Thomas Mefflin was Governor of the State. When Pennsylvania was happily out of debt ! What magic words, and what a happy people, could we but lay a corner-stone at this late day with such a proud inscription. he 'ad been proposed and received—(Cheers)—not be call. is conceived that he deserved the recommendation f his name, but because he felt deeply interested in :I success of the undertaking.

He 'are say that many present recollected, that upon one occ..sion he ventured to run counter to very strong preju :l•.e= in the House of Commons, and assisted to set aside for the time the standing orders of the important body to they had been accustomed to defer with so much re spi-ir. He was glad that he had done so ; and he would hat -, exerted himself as anxiously for any respectable com p.': the circumstances attendant upon whose claims were , y strong and legitimate.—(Hear.) He was glad that or ' 't least, of the two conflicting lines to convey railways to tit. west had been put into operation ; and it was par t% gratifying to him, that he had that day witnessed tie- interesting ceremony of commencing that railroad. It is unnecessary for him to dilate upon the advantages of railway communication in Ireland. He would only re peal what he was sure all present felt, that the work ui which they were engaged was very important, and should Li irried forward with enterprise ; and he was very glad to that his Noble Friend near the chair had himself be corti.i a convert to the railway, and he hoped that he would nor, with the zeal that marked his character, come forward as energetically and strenuously in promoting it as he was .1)-eviously indisposed to do so.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) They would allow him to say that, so far as he had influence, he should continue the same coarse as that which he had already pursued ; but he was not one of those who thought that Government influence was useful upon all occasions. He believed that all great public undertakings in England and Ireland succeeded best when left to their own unassisted ex ertions. In many instances the interference of Government on warped and interfered with their efforts; but when any legitimate occasion should arise he should have great pleasure, as a Member of the House of, Commons, and the Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, in giving his assistance to overcome any little difficulty which might arise in the pro gress of the necessary Bill.--(Loud cheers.)

Ra !ways have done much for Government and the country, and it is only fair to inquire what Government in return has done for railways? Nothing—absolutely nothing, beyond investing them with the permissible power of circulating throughout the country golden currents of capital, quickening the pulse of national labour, suppressing, by timely supplies of employment in maoy districts of the kingdom, the cries of the querulous and discontented, and the outbreak of the rebellious. All that a sage Legislature has effected, in return for Ois enrichment of its national resources, is the impo sition of three odious taxes, the passenger, assessment, and income taxes, which all weigh heavily on the purse of enterpri•e, being again visited by the railways (from whose profits they detract), in the shape of high and inordinate exaction of fare, upon the people. It will be seen from the accompanying analysis that the payment of passenger duty to Government forms a considerable item in the outgoings of annual profit on some of the principal lines, amounting, ou the London %1 1 ,1 Birmingham and Great Western to 25,0001. per • mum, and upon the Grand Junction, South-Western, o;e., to from 12,000/. to 14,0001 Fifty-seven lines from 1833, v ~ e't the tax was first imposed, to 1844, have paid to Go n cent amereements in the enormous sum of 708,9131.; i many, we believe, of the minor lines have, in this spe , t, paid far more than they ever divided.

Clearly Government does largely by raiiways: and is it not a hard, an ungracious thing, n. that railway, shou'd be taxed by the state? seeing t the impost acts so injuriously, not only on the rests of their enterprising projectors, but upon the etas of the travelling community. A tax of this i _lei prohibitory, not only on the peregrinations of but upon the profits and pleasures of the ile classes, and decides to a great extent the amount ;vidend railway companies declare, which fluctuates 1, affected in proportion to the extent of passenger The Manchester, Bolton, and Bury, now amalgamated with a group of lines known as the East Lancashire, paid in 1839 6451., in 1840 1,2311., in 1841 1,288 L, in 1842 1,3911., in 1843 1,0601., in 1844 1,1491.

The Midland Counties, running from Rugby to Derby, one of the first of Mr. Hudson's amalgamative mea sures, and united by him to the York and North Mid land, paid in 1840 5671, in 1841 2,8621., in 1842 5,2891., in 1843 4,834/, in 1844 4,411/.

Total 170/. The Manchester and Birmingham, lately delivered up to the London and Birmingham by amalgamation, paid in 1841 8391., in 1842 1,4861, in 1843 1,9761, in 1844 3,657/. Total 7,9581. The Newcastle and Carlisle, in 1836 paid 471., in 1837 250/., in 1838 600 L, in 1839 1,2101., in 1840 2,1231, in 1841 2,410/., in 1842, 2,1881., in 1843 1,6731., in 1844 1,2811_ Total 11.7841. passenger impost took effect in 1832, and was at 5 per cent. on the receipts, but compositions grant,4l by the Treasury in 1839 to the Scotch and of England lines on terms exempting low fares so that the measure only took effect upon , ?:,„nsit of poorer passengers at that date. The flue ,as observable in ihe amounts of some of the lines ' - ,:ccouiited for by rhis latter reason; added to the their pr..gri s.ive periods of opening and the con , -tit accession of receipts. The officers of the Board affirm that the average cost of conveying each ,nger upon the London and Birmingham is near ,z,u of a Id. per mile, thus calculating that a gross T. ( of 100/., from fares of 3d. per mile, would give ~ett, receipt of 701., and at a Id. a mile 10/. It appears the evidence of Mr. Laing, late secretary of the e:lrd Of Trade, 5 per cent. operates as a general tax of cent. on nett receipts from high fares, and 20 per e on Id. per mile fares. It appears, moreover, from rat' last report of the Select Committee on the subject, that the profits from passenger receipts arise from the bi: , her fares, as instanced in the case of the Grand Junction, where the per centage of first-class passenger 51; on third, 12; the dividend 10 per cent. On the S .•vh-Western the per centage of first-class passengers 32; third class, 8; dividend 7 per cent. On the East tern Counties the per centsge on first-class passengers is 16; on third-class, 55; dividend 1/. 12s. On the Glas gow and Greenock the per tentage on first-class pas serwers is 9; on third-class, 64; dividend 2. It will thus be perceived that the dividends are in proportional r aio to the pAr cent ages. The tax for the last eleven years, from 1833 to 1844, has given a total revenue to Gov;:rnment, exclusive of lines in Ireland and Scotland, of 703,913/ This is upon upwards of fifty-six lines. The feturns for the past year not yet made out will, doabtless, owing to the fuller development of the rail way accommodation of the kingdom, show a larger pre ponderating value, and there is no question that when the numerous lines of last and the coming sessions are in action, the railway tax, if continued to be extorted, will exceed that of any other impost. It is by no means impr”bable that Government, knowing this, will main tain the exaction as a kind of equipoise to the loss that n:ay he sustained by the repeal of the coin and other duties that now act so oppressively on the people. It is contended that the remission of 5 per cent. passenger tax on all fares at and under a Id. per mile would only reduce the revenue from this source, derivable yearly by flovernmant by 8,0001., besides being a great boon to the poor who travel by third-class trains. This amount, instead of being paid to Government, might be well and usefully laid out by the different railways in adding to the convenience and comfort of their third class car riages. We contend, therefore, without qualification, for the total abolition of this tax, as an incumbrance alike on railway property and the public, and call upon the companies to unite and memorialise for its remission. The following is a complete analysis of the amount of passenger duty paid by each railway company in England arid Wales, for passenger duty (made up to the sth January in each year), from 1833 to 1844: The Bolton and Leigh, a line now amalgamated with th e Liverpool and Manchester and Grand Junction, paid in 1834, 13/ ; in 1835, 101.; in 1836, 101.; in 1837, 101.; in 1838 this small amount of tribute rose to 100/. ; in to 2611. ; in 1840 to 377/ ; in 1841 to 3451. ; in L)., to 3041.; in 1843 it fluctuated and fell to 2.591; and in ; 344 to 2721.
