/ I L T ( COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of a great deal of public business. Upon the motion of Deputy CORNEY, the question at issue between the Court of Aldermen and the Court of Common Council, upon the subject of the payment of the expenses incurred by the Lord Mayor, in the survey of the western district of the river Thames, was, without discussion, referred to a committee of five members, with instructions to open a communication with the Court of Aldermen, with a view to an amicable adjustment of the existing differences between the two Courts, and to re port the result. The proposition, which was seconded by Mr. JUPP, who apprehended very disagreeable consequences from a rupture, was received with high satisfaction by a very crowded Court. ALLEGED DEFICIENCIES - TDE WINE DUES. Mr. SELSON wished to be informed by the Chairman of the Officers and Clerks' Committee, when it was likely that the Court could be informed upon the important subject of the deficiencies in the wine dues ? The public were deeply interested in the matter, and looked fur the information with great anxiety. Mr. BURN (the Chairman) said the committee were doing all they could to ascertain whether there were any deficiencies at all, and he expected that in the course of three or four weeks he would be able to make a commu nication to the Court upon the subject. THE FREEDOM OF THE CITY TO LORD GOUGH AND SIR HARRY SMITH. The LORD MAYOR presented letters which he had re ceived from the two Gallant Generals, acknowledging the receipt of the resolutions of thanks of the Court, and the freedom of the City, for their gallant services in India. Ordered to be entered upon the journals. His LORDSHIP also presented a letter of thanks for the donation of 1001. from the Ragged Union Committee. The letter was entered upon the journals of the Court. REVIVAL OF THE ANCIENT PRACTICE OF CORONERS. His LORDSHIP then presented the following commu nication from Mr. Payne, the Coroner of the City of London : " To the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Corporation of the City of London, in Common Council assembled. "My Lord and Gentlemen,—l beg leave to report to this Hon. Court that, in the month of August, 1845, I revived the ancient practice of holding inquests, or courts of inquiry, in cases of fire, a preeeeding which had long been in disuse, but which appeared to me, from the frequency of these destructive occurrences in numerous parts of the country, to be most desirable to resume. " That such inquiries were formerly part of the Coro ner's duty, maybe seen by a reference to the old treatises on the Crown law, as well as the ancient statutes of the realm ; and, inasmuch as the power to hold such courts has never been taken from the Coroner, 1 was led to re sume the exercise of it from a conviction of its great im portance and utility. " The example has been followed with public benefit, in various part of the kingdom, and has been the means of bringing to justice many offenders who, in all proba bility, would never have been discovered but for the in vestigation of the Coroner's Courts. It has also met with the approbation of the Chief Justices and other Judges before whom those cases were tried, as well as many magistrates and members of the Corporation, and the Times and other public journals. " I have further the satisfaction to state that, not withstanding the city of London and borough of South wark contains more property than any other local dis trict in the kingdom, the only fires reported to me within these districts within the last twelve months, as being of sufficient importance to require an investiga tion by a jury, were, in London 9, and in Southwark 2, a list of which I have sent herewith. Of these stme were incendiary and others accidental ; and the expenses paid by me to constables, witnes.es in those investiga tions, amount altogether to the sum of 201. Is. 2d. I mention this, because there is at present no provision made for the payment of those expenses. " I have not charged my own fees for holding these inquests, preferring to show that my object has been public utility rather than personal emolument ; and it will be a great gratification to me if my endeavours to render the office increasingly useful, are approved of by the Corporation, to whom I owe the favour of my ap pointment, as well as attended with success.—l have the honour to be, my Lord and Gentlemen, your faith ful servant, " WILLIAM PAYNE, " Temple, Sept. 22, 1816." Mr. STACEY said the letter ought to be received merely as a communication from the Coroner. Mr. PRENDERGAST, who listened with impatience to the contents of the letter, said, the idea of a coroner sitting, under such circumstances as were represented, was an absolute farce. He had never heard a chief justice, or any other law authority, say that a coroner had any such power as that which was here described as having been executed by the Coroner of the City of London. As that gentleman had been kind enough to favour the Court with the communication, he should move that it be laid upon the table. He was sure it ought not to go to a committee.---(Hear, hear ) Mr. DAwsoN rose to move, as a rapid amendment upon the motion, that the Coroner's letter be referred to a committee. to consider and report. He was con vinced the practice, which had been revived by the care and energy of the Coroner, would be very serviceable to the community.—(lleac, hear.) It was the firm belief amongst the authorities at the fire-offices that many fires originated otherwise than by accident, and the perfect performance of the duties of coroner was calculated to increase the source of detection. Mr. STEVENS seconded the amendment. The course pursued by the Coroner gave additional security to life and to property, and the Court ought to feel indebted to Mr. Payne for having revived a practice which, though evidently good, had fallen into disuetude. Mr. TAYLOR expressed a similar opinion to that de livered by Mr. Stevens. Mr. BjWER was decidedly opposed to the amendment. The committee, if referred to, would probably recom mend the giving away of money upon the occasion ; and the insurance officers were very well able to take care of their own interests without the assistance of the Curpo ration.--(A laugh,) The letter was then referred to a committee by a large majority. LONDON-BRIDGE APPROACHES COMMITTEE. Mr. It. L. JONES brought up a report from the Corn. mittee, of which he has been for so many years chair men, for the discharge of the further part of the debt. It stated that the Chamberlain having, in pursuance of the directions of the Act, laid before the Committee a state ment of the surplus of the several duties and payments of the London Approaches Fund, for the quarter ending the sth of October, and it appearing that the rum which might be applied in discharge of the further part of the sum raised in pursuance of the Act, was 21,4001., they were of opinion that the Chamberlain should take proper Immures for applying that sum according;}, and give the necessary notices in the manner prescribed by the Act. The report was unanimously agreed to. TOWER-STREET IMPROVEMENT. Deputy FINAN presented a petition from the inhabi tants of Tower Ward, praying for improvement in Great Tower -street. The petition had been agreed to at a meeting of the ward some weeks ago, and at which time it obtained much publicity. The Deputy stated that the widening of the street was demanded by the enormous increase of traffic and population. Mr. SELSON said ho hoped the Improvement Com mittee would take into consideration the fact, that the inhabitants arc the best judges of their own interests in the alterations suggested. Mr. LOTT said it was useless to widen Tower-street without widening Watling street, and contended that for one accident that happened in the former, three oc curred in the latter. He regretted to observe, that al though a resolution to the effect of making the indis pensable improvement in Wading -street had been three several times agreed to, the Committee did nut seem to be as yet aware of the existing necessity. Mr. BOWER said, the best place in which to com mence improvements was decidedly Tower-street, which ought to constitute a free o p en i ng to t h e d oc k s. The petition was referred to the Improvement Com mittee. GRAND BALL AT GUILDHALL. Lord Dudley Stuart, Mr. S. B. Kirby, Mr. W. Adam Smith, Mr. R. G. M'Donnell, of the Literary Associa• tion of lho Friends of the Poles, and Major C. Szal czewski, the secretary to the association, appeared with a petition, requesting the use of the Guildhall on some day after the 9th of November, for a ball and other en tertainments on behalf of the Distressed Poles. It stated that although, since 1844, when the last ball was given kr their benefit, the number of the refugees had somewhat diminished, their sufferings had received but little mitigation, and that the Government of that un fortunate country were formerly in the most cruel system of oppression. Upon the motion of Deputy PEACOCK, seconded by Mr. HoLT, the prayer of the petition was granted by the unanimous vote of the Court. Lord DUDLEY STUART said, that as he knew the Court had business of great importance to transact, he would not trespass upon their time by any lengthened observations. He thanked them in the name of the Association of the Refugees, and of the whole nation of Poland, and he would merely add that the Court must form some idea of the service they were rendering, when he assured them that in no one year since the commence. ment of the atrocious subjugation of Poland had that most unhappy country been subjected to more biting op pressions than in that which was aproaching to its close. GRAND LINE uP CITY IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. R. L. JONES rose to present the report of the Improvement Committee. Ile stated that he had fre quently had the gratification of presenting reports rela tive to impro vements i n w hi ch Government lent their aid, by sanctioning a tax upon coals, and giving their powerful advocacy and authority as those improvements advanced. In the present instance, however, he had to perform a task imposed upon him by the extraordinary liberality of the Corporation, in consequence of their vote of 20,0001. per annum, to aceotnpli , ill a series of im provements worthy of the exalted eharacter of the City of London.—(Hear, hear.) There were many points to which different interests and tastes directed indivi duate as requiring more immediate change, and the Committee had been diligently occupied iu selecting the locality which pressed most for improvement as that with which the work of improvement should begin.— (Hear, hear.) They had come to the determination, in accordance with the principle thus laid down, to recommend the formation of a street from the com mencement of Cannon-street, at the corner of King William -street to the south side of Stßaurs-churchyard. It was true the line would not comprehend street, but it would, by cutting through several narrow Watling streets and lanes of no comparative value, completely relieve that thoroughfare from the enormous traffic which made it dangerous to passengers. It might be expected that, as was the case with the London -bridge improve meats, complaints, would pour in against any project of improvement. The Committee had taken infinite pains to guard the public and the private interests, as far as was practicable on a scale of extensive change.—(Hear, hear.) It might be expected that there would be consi derable difference of opinion as to the place at which the improvement was to begin. It was not to be for gotten that in the great continental cities the widest ap proaches were uniformly made in the immediate neigh bourhood of the great markets. Now, :let any one look to Leadenhall market, with its vast trade, and say whether it was not necessary to establish increased faci lities for the transit to the west-end. The traffic from the docks, immense as it was, required a capacious out let ; and there were other causes operating to show that the selection of the spot recommended for the beginning of the alterations, by effecting a relief to all the crowd( d streets from Tower-hill to St. Paul's-churchyard, was the most advisable. He was led to believe that the Govern ment, upon seeing the C orporat i on proceeding in such a spirit, would go on with the projected improvements in the neighbourhood of the Tower.—(Hear, hear.) The Committee knew that the improvement would require several years for its completion, and that the sum of money would be considerable ; but they at present were for confining the operations from Cannon-street to Queen -street, and from Queen-street from St. Thomas Apostle to Thames-street. The ex pense of the whole line was estimated by the clerk of the works at 530,0001., but that part of the line which lie had pointed out as the limit of their immediate oi era tions would cost (as our reporter understood blr. Jones's rapid speech), about 240,0001. or 250,0001. Mr. Jones concluded by stating, that as the works proceeded he entertained not the least doubt as to the practicability of applying to another source of revenue.—(Cheers.) The report, of which the following are the material portions, was then read : "We have proceeded, from time to time, in the consi deration of such improvements, to be recommended to be effected within this city generally, as appeared to us ex pedient, and, after due deliberation, are of opinion, that the most desirable line to be carried out in the first in stance, will be that commencing from Cannon-street (King William-street), to the south side of St. Paul's churchyard, including the proposed widening of Queen-street from the south side of St. Thomas Apostle to Upper Thames-street, as affording immediate relief to the present crowded state of the metropolis, and the ex pense of which is estimated by the clerk of the works at 530,0001., after deducting the value of the building frontages ; and we submit the same to this Honourable Court accordingly, and that we may be authorised t o take the proper steps for an application to Parliament in the ensuing session, for carrying as much of the said line into execution as may be deemed most expedient ; and for their further information, we have annexed hereto a report from Mr. Scott, principal clerk of the Chamberlain, showing the amount which can he raised upon the credit of the before-mentioned sum of 20,000/. per annum, to be discharged either in 20 or 30 years. " We further certify that we have various other lines of improvement under consideration, but are not at pre sent prepared to report thereon. " We beg further to certify, that in consequence of the standing orders of Government with respect to private Bills having been materially altered, it is requisite that any plans for improvements in London should be agreed upon as soon as convenient, and that the lists of the owners and occupiers of the property required to be taken should be prepared by the end of the present month at the latest. " R. L. Jones, W. Lawrence, John King, John Dixon, B. Bower, J. C. Prior, W. A. Peacock, 11. Burn, J. Low E. Harrison, E. Hickson, J. Hartley, R. Taylor, H. L. Taylor, G. Aitchison, J. G. Cone." Mr. ANDERTON said it would occasion a great dirni nution of expense, as well as great addition of con venience, if the Court would go to Parliament for large sums in cases of public improvement. In Liverpool and other extensive places of business, it was the practice never to go to Parliament except for a sum of money embracing all the contingent expenses. It was but reasonable, too, to expect that the exact line should be scheduled. Mr. IL L. JONES said that in Liverpool, and in other places referred to, the ground was open, very unlike that in the heart of the City of London. The Committee had, upon the subject of scheduling the various proper. ties within the line, considered the injury which might result in unhinging the minds of people. Mr. NORRIS was by no means satisfied with the re port, which did not contain the full information which the Court had a right to expect. lie apprehended that the plan would, after costing pobably upwards of a mil lion, be nothing more than a deformity after all. The line would be broken, and churches and church-yards would be interfered with, and the portion proposed to be at once carried out would be quite useless and absurd. It was rather too bad that the Committee should have been two years occupied in coming to a conclusion, and then demand that in two minutes the Court should agrt e in their views. —(hear, hear.) He wished to have the constituency informed of the true nature of the proposed alterations, and for that purpose he should propose an amendment, t the effect that all the houses to be affected in each street in the line should be particularised, &c. Mr. IfooLE seconded the amendment. Mr. ASUURST, and several others of the Committe strongly advocated the whole of the recommendations in the report. lir. DE JERSEY said the plth of the arqurneut in favour of the report was the want of time. ° It was said that if application was not made at the present moment there must be a postponement for a year. That was a fallacy. After a long deliberation, the Council at that late hour for the first time submitted thcir views in a matter involving an expenditure of 300,0001., and asked for the hurried msent of the Court.—(l fear, hear.) The improvement proposed would certainly be a great one, but there were others equally s.). lie supported the amendment. Mr. R. L. JoNEs said the Committee were unavoidably delayed till the present moment by the extent of the labour which the clerk of the works had had t) perform in making estimates. _ _ Mr. PRENDERGAST said that like other members he hal had no opportunity of seeing. or being informed, of the merits of the plan recommend. Ile had great con fidence in the Committee, but they had shown no confi dence in the Court. They offered at that late period Hobson's choice, that particular sch(me or nailing; for if it were refected, there was no time fur going to Par liament. Ile urged that the report should he sent back to the Committee.—(Hear, hear.) After some further discussion, Mr. R. L. JONES re plied, and the amendment was lost. The report waa then agreed to, and the Parliamentary notices were ordered to be given accordingly. The Court adjourned at a late hour. TRINIDAD GREAT EASTERN AND WESTERN RAILWAY. A meeting of the shareholders in this undertaking was called, for one o'clock yesterday, at the King's Head, Poultry, to consider the best means to be adopted to compel the directors to fulfil their promise, to return the deposits. It was stated that important information would be laid before the meeting, the advertisement for which was signed by Mr. Stafford, solicitor, Bucking ham -street. At the appointed hour but a small number of persons were present. Mr. STAFFORD explained that he attached his name to the advertisement calling the meeting at the neatest of a committee of shareholders, which was appoint d at a meeting of the shareh o ld ers on t h e 1 0t h o f Sept( n b er last at th Hall of Commerce, for the purpose of it- mir ing into the original concoction of the company. At that meeting hopes were held out to the sharehoi lers, that their deposits would be returned, but up to th 4 pro sent moment so desirable a communication had not tken place. The committee so appointed found that the scheme was duly registered on the 19th of Septet tber, 1845, the ostensible promoters being Horatio Using, described of Chester-street, Belgrave-square, and John Evans, of No. 6, Queen-street, Golden square. A prospectus was got up, and issued, but it did not meet with the success which its origina tors seemed to have anticipated, and on the 10th of February an advertisement appeared in the-news paper, offering to return the whole of the deposits (ss. a share having been paid on the shares taken up), and offering the option of transferring the shares to another company then in the course of projection. This gave a great stimulus to the shares, as those who held them were anxious to get their rniney back again ; they continued to hold them. On the 11 th of May another advertisement appeared, signed by four gentle men, declaring that from that time they ceased t o be in any way connected with the company. On the 15th of the same month another advertisement appeared, in which the directors informed the shareholders th,t, they were waiting for the arrival of the managing director from Trinidad, and that on his arrival the promise, with respect to the return of the depesits„ would be carried out in a few days. Afterwards an adver tisement appeared, signed, Gilts Hall, Chairman, which stated that the advertisement referred to was inserted without the knowledge or consent of the directors. It appeared that a Mr. Garrard was concerned with Mr. Utting in getting up the proposed undertaking, and that it originated in a meeting which was held in the Queen's Bench prison: there it was concocted, and through the recommendation of another party a Mr. Lewis was named as solicitor to the undertaking, and it seemed they then advertised for a secretary, and ap pointed a Mr. Bristow to that important post, the con dition being that he should lodge 2001. in their hands, which he did. They afterwards found it convenient to borrow a further 1001. from him, which was applied to the expenses incidental to the projection of the railway. It seemed from information which had been acquired that there was great reason to believe that a vast num ber of shares were not issued in the ordinary course of allotment upon the appointment of parties, but, finding there was not a large demand, they adopted the ruse of inserting an advertisement offering to return the deposits for the purpose of making the shares marketable with the public, and they had it from good authority that their secretary was required to prepare a certain number of shares, The scrip was then taken by a clerk to some parties whose names he (Mr. Stafford) was in possession of, but which he would not venture to mention, who were at that time confined in the Queen's Bench, and whose names appeared as directors of this undertaking ; and it was in that situation that Ow appended their names to this portion of the scrip. The shares were then brought into the market, and on the faith of the ad vertisements respecting the deposits they fetched a con siderable sum. The period had gone by when the operations of the company could be renewed with any probability of success, because they had not renewed the registration within 12 months. Latterly the parties at the offices of the company had shown some sign of animation, and had promised that the scheme should be again registered, but all they were doing was quite illegal. Even so recently as the 17th of September an advertisement appeared, stating that the surveys and estimates had not been received from Trinidad, and that " further particulars" would be announced in a few days, but none had yet appeared. It appeared doubtful whe ther criminal, instead of civil proceedings, ought not to be taken against the parties ; but as it was a delicate subject he would not further allude to it. The commit tee had a large number of shares, and were naturally anxious to get back their money, or to obtain that re dress which the laws of the country might afford them. He did not think, however, that the directors would give the shareholders any satisfaction. They had got their scheme inserted in the new Stock Exchange List, and their shares quoted at a price at which those who had paid ss. per share would perhaps like to buy them—namely, ninepence. The object of the meeting simply was to enable the shareholders to unite and form a committee to prosecute their rights, and he could not do better than suggest that they should appoint a chairman, in order to give effect to any proposition which might be en trusted to them. Dr. BARRY was then called to the chair. He said it would be necessary to raise a subscription for the pur. pose of taking such steps as their solicitor might advise for the purpose of comp'slling the parties to return the deposits. A committee, consisting of the Chairman, Messrs. Murchison, Brough, Levy, and Coates, was then ap pointed, to take such steps as they might think proper to carry out t) -, e wishes of the shareholders. A resolutin calling upon the shareholders to contri bute towards the expenses was also passed after some discussion, and the meeting separated. LYNN AND DEREHAM RAILWAY COMPANY. A special general meeting of the shareholders and pro prietors of this railway took place yesterday, at the Com rany's-offices, Millbank-street, Westminster, for the pur pose of authorising the borrowing by mortgage or bond the sum of 90,0001., for the purpose of carrying or. the undertaking. W. EVEIARD, Esq., took the chair shortly after two o'clock, and, after stating the object of the meeting, he proposed the following resolution, which was unani mously agreed to:—" That the directors be and they are hereby authorised and empowered to borrow upon mortgage or bond, at such rate of interest, not exceeding 51. per cent, per annum, and for such periods as they shall think fit, the whole or any part of the sum of 90,0001., which the company is by their Act of Incorporation authorised and empowered to borrow." The CHAIRMAN, in answer to the question of a pro prietor, stated that the first part of the line, from Lynn to Narborough, had been advertised to be opened on Tuesday next, which he had no douht would take place. (Hear, hear.) The second part of the line, from Lynn to Swaffham, was going on as well as could be wished, and he thought that there was very little doubt that the whole line would be opened at Midsummer. The direc tors were ready now to put out the whole contract from Swaffham to Dereham. Thanks were then voted to the chairman and directors for the course they had pursued on behalf of the com pany, and the meeting then broke up. The CHAIRMAN, in returning thanks, stated that the last call that had been made of the directors had been most liberally responded to by the proprietors.

The CHAIRMAN said that he had much pleasure it putting the resolution, but regretted that there were not wore proprietors present. He had the pleasure to infium them that the concern was out of debt and out of danger. Their London bankers had b( ea paid off, as would he seen by a let:er which would be read to them by Mr Harrop. The following letter was then read to the meeting :-- " London, Oct. 7, 1846.

Mr. FRAZER, in answer, sa 7 d, in round numbers 24,0001., aad the available assets 45,0001. The report was then put to the meeting, and carried unanimously. After ajnie conversation as to the propriety of reclacing their annual expenditure, thanks were voted to the directors and the chairman, and the meeting se parated. REPEAL OF THE MALT TAX. On Saturday last a deputation from the Central So ciety attended a meeting of the tenant-farmers at the Norfolk Hotel, Norwich, to adopt means for securing a total repeal of the malt-tax. The chair was taken by Mr. Leaman, of Whitewell, a large number of the leading agriculturists of the county being present. Mr. J. SMITH, one of the deputation, explained the objects of the society by referring to the following re solutions, which had been passed at a meeting held at the York Hotel, Bridge•street, Blackfriars, London, on the 30th of March, 1846 : " 1. That the object of this association is to furnish employment to the working classes of the British com munity (the first source of national - wealth), and by setting the springs of industry free, enable them to ob• twin both beer and meat at a moderato cost. " 2 ' a. That the tax upon malt is unitlsiltl ... principle and oppressive in operation, inasmuch as it presses so heavily upon the labouring classes of the empire, and at the same time altogether prevents many of the more needy from partaking of a wholesome beverage, the only nu tritious one arising from the proluce of the British soil. " That the operation of this tax limits the consumption of barley in an incredible degree, by imposing a duty of 51. 10s. per acre upon every acre of barley used for the purpose of malting ; thus in the first instance checking the cultivation of the soil, and in the next precluding the use of the produce for the purpose of fattening cattle. " 4. That this meeting pledges itself not only to use its most strenuous exertions for the total repeal of this ob ncsious impost, so detrimental to the comfort and morals of the people, bat determines never more to relax its ef forts, or entirely separate, till the desired object be attained. "4. That the committee be requested immediately to adopt such measures as they may deem expedient and most proper for carrying into effect the shore resolutions upon a wide and extended scale, and to exercise their ur gent endeavours for increasing the subscriptions." Mr. NoitTriousE followed in a speech of considerable length, in the course of which he traced the quantities of malt consumed and the amount of duty paid from the year 1730 to the present time. He stated, that in 1730, when there was a population of only 5,687,993, the con sumption was 28,410,421 bushels, the duty being then only 6d. per bushel, and the consumption fire bushels per head on the whole population. In 1780, the duty was is. 4d. per bushel; the population, 7,814,827; the consumption, 30,805,100 bushels, or four bushels per head. In 1828, the population was 13,249,508; duty, 2s. 7d.; and consumption, per head, two bushels two gallons; while in 1845, with a population of 16,711,725, the entire consumption was only 30,508,840 bushels, or only one bushel six gallons 2-3ds per head. These he considered proofs as strong as Holy Writ of the effects of taxation, and the deterioration of the comforts of the poor. Mr. C ULLY, of Cossey, then moved the following re solution :—" That this meeting form itself into a com mittee, with power to add to its numbers, as a branch district of the Anti-Malt Tax Association," which was carried unanimously; and a vote of thanks to the Chair.. man having been passed, the meeting separated. LA W IN TELLIGENCE. SHERIFFS' COURT, October 22. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.) CANNON V. :MYERS. The plaintiff in this action is the landlady of' the White Horse, Hay-street, Clerkenwell, and the defendant is a rag merchant and Government contractor. The action was brought to recover the sum of 3/. Os. 81 for ale, beer, &c., alleged to have been supplied by the order of the defendant. The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted. Mr. WAKELING stated the plaintiff's case, from which it appeared that in April last, the defendant had an ap peal at the Middlesex Sessions, and had a great many witnesses on his behalf. On that occasion defendant went to the plaintiff's house, and asked whether a room had not been engaged by persons of the name of Nathan and Lazarus for his (defendant's) witnesses? and on being answered in the affirmative, he said his witnesses were to have what they required, for which he would settle. Miss Ellen Cannon was called, and gave evidence as to the supply of the articles, and that defendant distinctly gave the orders. There were between th;rty and forty witnesses. After the case was over, defendant went and '• stopped the supplies." On the bill being given, he said he did not believe so much had been supplied, and he would not believe it if Mrs. Cannon swore till she was black in the face, but he would go round to the witnesses, and if their account agreed with it he would pay, but he had never done so. Frederick Miller was called, and also deposed to the defendant having stopped the supply after the appeal, and that he said he would call in a day or two and pay. Mr. SIDNEY for the defendant, contended that it was highly improbable such an unlimited order would have been given, and said that Nathan and Lazarus ought to have been called if they were clerks or agents of the defendants. Siviers, wine and commission agent, Stepney, was called, and swore that he went with defendant after the appeal was over and saw Lazarus behind the bar, and defendant was told that he had ordered what had been supplied. Defendant said that Lazarus might pay, he would pay what he had then, and they had refreshment to the amount of 7s. The bill was tendered to de fendant, but he would not pay. Other witnesses were called, but, The UNDER•SHERIFF said, all the witnesses went to prove the plaintiff's case, and asked whether Mr. S:d ley intended to call Lazarus? Mr. SIDNEY replied in the negative. The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF asked the jury whether they entertained any doubt; if not, it would be unneces sary for the plaintiff to reply? The jury said they had not, and returned a verdict for the amount claimed. There were only four cases in the list, and the others were not of the slightest interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. A poor man, named Richard Sherlock, applied to Sir Pet2r Laurie for advice under the following eircum stances:—He said he had 'resided in the parish of St. Mary Staining for nearly seven years; it would be seven years about the middle of next January. That about a year and nine months ago he and his wife, who is touch afflicted with fits, were removed to the parish of St. llotolph, Aldersgate, to which he belonged by payment of rent and taxes for some years. From that period until recently he had received 2s. and a 41b. loaf weekly; but about a fortnight ago he was told by Mr. Roberts, the relieving-officer of the East London Union, that it would be the last time he should have to pay him, as he had lived five years in the parish of St. Mary Stain ing, and he must now lay claim to that parish. Since then he had seen Mr. Llewellyn, the vestry-clerk of St. Mary Staining, and that gentleman had written to Mr. Roberts, and he had been to and from one to the other, but without effect, and he was now recommended by Mr. Llewellyn to apply to the magistrate for his advice. Sir P. LAURIE said it seemed to him a great hardship that a man should be driven from pillar to post in that manner, and that there must be something very defective in the poor-law to admit of such a course. Mr. Teague, the chief clerk, said this was only one of an immense number of such cases that had arisen upon the construction of the late Poor Removal Act. It was provided by the Act that a person who had been resident in any parish for five years should be irremovable to his place of settlement, and that no order should be grapted for the removal of any pauper from a parish in which he had resided for five years " next before the application" for the order. Many of the large metropolitan parishes have, in consequence of this Act, discontinued the greater part of their out-door relief, and hate thus thrown tee onus of relief upon the parish in which the pauper had been resident for fire years, or removing them again where they have not been so resident; for the time during which a pauper received relief from any parish was to be exclude,' from the computation. Sir P. LAURIE said he thought it would be well to can the atten ion of the Poor-law Commissioners to the sub ject, and get them to set the matter at rest. Mr. Teague said he feared that a great deal of the present hardship had been oc rasioned by Vac construe don which the Commissioners had put upon the Act, and might be mainly attributed to a circular letter which had been recently addressed to the boards of guardians by Mr. Lumley, the assi stant - secretary, wherein it was said that the ground which had existed for non-resident relief would now be removed. It was quite evident that the intention of the Commissioners was to drive the pour into the workhouses, and do away as much as possible tothe p resent h ad been recently barrister, and he had f e lt th a t with all out-doer relief. Mr. Teague fur:her stated that jleyffimesieinmletyinlairn the constructi on o f t h e A ct, as . od of relief was to be exc l uded from the compu e tation of the five years, and y et t h at period would in r a la . a h n ic e y da r p bee e w l P a rr s eec a ias n d e tervene between the residence and the application for a new order; and therefore it might be urged that five years residence would not be " next before the applica tion," as the Act required. In that case the counsel advised that the opinion of the Court of Qaeen's Bench eliollid be taken as soon as possible; and i n th e case now before Sir P. Laurie he could s ee no b etter course than for the parish of St. Mary Stakin g t o apply for a new order, and leave the other pari s h , if they thought fit, to raisethe question on appeal. Sir P. LAURIE said he was quit e o f opinion that out door relief, instead of being diminished, ought to be greatly extended. The driving the poor into the work houses bad the effect of depriving them of their energy and independence of character, and tended to reduce them to a state of continual pauperism. Next to a men out of a gaol a master was usually most averse to a man out of a workhouse, while he thought the worse of no man who was obliged to receive a little out door relief. The outdoor relief should be extended for the sake of the rate-payers as much as for the feelings and reputa tion of the poor. It might be sometimes abused, but that was not a reason for its abolition. It was the duty of the Poor-law Commissioners to see that none were placed in danger of starvation, and the poor could not wait till the law was amended. He gave Sherlock 53. from the poor-box, and advised him to apply to the parish in which he resided, to be relieved or passed. RAILWA Y SHARES.—A young man named Stokes, a solicitor's clerk, applied for advice under the following circumstances;—llia father died immediately after the railway panic, and he was found to have in his posses sion 600 shares in the Kentish Coast Railway, upon which 11. is. 6d. had been paid, and which he had bought at five-eighths premium, so that he had invested 1,200/. The company did not apply for a Bill, and the directors had advertised to return 1Z per share on genuine scrip; but they repudiated complainant's scrip as spurious, be cause it was not signed by any of the directors. It was signed by the secretary, Mr. Richards. Sir P. LAURIE asked if that was the same person who fie b ured as a witness in a forgery case of shares? The A ppl ic an t said it was. He was now in France. Be produced a prospectus. Sir P. LAURIE said there were several respectable names amongst the provisional co mmittee, and he held that a promoter was liable to the shareholders for re payment where the scheme altogether failed. The appli cant said he did not know who to sue, as the name of the secretary only appeared on his scrip. Sir P. LAURI E said it was not difficult to make these com p anie s account as bankrupts, and he recommended the applicant to seek the advice of Mr. Spackman, of Moorgate-street, who appeared to be well versed in winding up companies, as appeared by the newspapers. The applicant begged to mention another case. He was at th e t i me a stocbroker's clerk, and another broker persuaded him to buy 100 Lynn shares. He paid him 50/. down, 23 9 1. more on the settling day, having lost by the transaction. It subsequently transpired that hie friend had bought only 56, instead of 100 shares, and had paid one-half per cent. less than he said, cheating him of the difference. As it was a partnership concern Sir P.LeURIE though he could not inter'ere.

Mr. Fearnley defended the prisoner who is very respectably connected. His father is captain of a merchant -ship called the Ingo, trading between Lond on and the north. It appear e d that the prisoner had been i n t h e prose . cutor's empl oy f our years, and had commenced at a sa lary of of 251. per annum which had been increased last year to 35/. The greatest confidence had been placed in the pisoner.

In the ouros of the lust THE MANCHESTER BANK MANCHESTER, WEDNESDAY, FOUR O'CLOCK, —Th is morning at eleven o'clock the annual meeting of the proprietors of this very disastrous concern was held at Hayward's Hotel, Bridgt-street, in this town. The directors present were Messrs. G. R. Chappell, chair man of the Board of Directors ; J. C. Dyer, John Pathus, John Gouldsbcrough, and John Spencer, deputy chairman. Mr. G. B. Chappell presided. The CHAIRMAN having briefly opened the proceed ings, called upon the managing director to read the report. - Mr. FRAZER then read the following report:—" Re port of the Board of Directors to the annual general meeting of the,proprietors, held at Hayward's Hotel, Bridge-street, on Wednesday, the 21st of October, 1846:—The accounts submitted to the last general meeting brought down the affairs of the bank to the 30th of June, 1845.

Note 3 in circul. 1848, Mr. Fearnley only asked fir the wages due to hit. client ; surely that application would not be resisted. Mr. BRODERIP said ha could not order the wages to he paid, and the prosecutor declared he would give up nothing. Mr. Fearnley made some observations on the hardship of the case, and the severity with which the prisoner was treated. The young man was without a single shilling in the world. Mr. BRODERIP mninded the prisoner's solicitor of the serious loss sustai , led by Mr. Boutillier. He did not at all wonder that a man who had been nearly ruined by the prisoner should not be disposed to treat h:m with much favour. He was surprised that the prisoner, who had done all he could to ruin his master, should expect the least favour at his hands. 'rho prisoner, who made no defe.nee was then fully committed to Nowgat© for trial. On the intercession of Mr. Dianiond and Mr. Pelham, the prosecutor consented to give up Stodatirt's clothes, on which Mr. Broderip said more could not be exp ct‘d from him. SOUTHWARK. Henry Savory, the keeper of a house of bad repute Buckle's-buildings, Waterloo -road, was charged with striking Margaret Scully on the head with a poker, with intent to do her grievous bodily harm. The complainant having been made acquainted that her sister, a young girl, had quitted her situaion, and had been inveigled into a house of bad repute on the south side of the water, went to look after her, for the purpose of prevailing upon her to leave such a place. In the course of the complainant's inquiries she learned that her sister was an inmate of the prisoner's house, in Buckle's-buildings, Waterloo-road, and -that it was a rendezvous for the worst of characters. On Friday last the complainant accordingly proceeded to the house in question, and on knocking at the door, was answere] out of the window by the prisoner, who, in reply to the question as to whether her sister was there, said she was not, and referred her to the next house. Com plainant went there, and finding, from all she heard respecting her sister, that she was in the prisoner's house, altticugh he denied the fact, she IN turned there again, and insisted, on having an interview with her sister. The prisoner, who again answered her from the parlour window, still declared that the yew% woman was not in the house, and threatened to strike complainant with a poker, if she did not go away. She, however, remained at the window, insisting on see ing her sister, when the prisoner lifted up the poker, and struck her a severe blow on the head, which cut it to the bone, and she fell down insensible, and in that condition was conveyed to the house of ;Jr. Brooks, a surgeon in the Waterloo-road, where she was seized with a strong fit, bat after some time she recovered sufficiently to be enabled to be conveyed home. The prisoner ab • sconded after perpetrating the outrage, but was since taken into custody. . The surgeon having given evidence of the serious na ture of the injury inflicted on the complainant's head, and the danger arising from it, The prisoner, in his defence, said that the complain ant's sister was not in his house at the time, and he told her so, but she still continued to abuse him, and ulti mately broke his window, which caused him to strike her with the poker; that he regretted the circumstance, and was willing to make her every reparation in his power. Mr. SECKER said the assault was of such an aggra vated character that he would neither listen to any compromise, however willing the complainant was to accede to it, nor should he decide the case summarily, but send the prisoner for trial.—Committed accordingly. HOP INTELLIGENCE. M AIDSTONE.—The duty still continues to rule at 220,0001., with various opinions as to the accuracy of the estimate. This may, perhaps, be in some degree tested by the amount of the Canterbury collection, which we hear on pretty good authority will turn out something very like 45,0711. 17s. ld. There were seve ral buyers at our fair on Saturday, but it seems of late years not to have been the fashion to sell here, otherwise there is no doubt sales might have been effected. A correspondent informs us that there is an inclination on the part of some growers, encouraged by the success of the late experiment at Staplehurst, to establish a hop fair here. He says, "No time should be lost. The growers should meet and form a committee of management. They should be the acting men, and with energy and deter mination much good might be accomplished."—Maid stone Journal. The estimated bop duty has fallen off materially during the past week. A high duty backer gives the following estimate :—Canterbury, 45,6001. ; Rochester, 66,0001. ; Sussex, 63,0001. ; Worcester, 30,0004; Farn ham, 16,000/. ; Kingdom, 4,000/.—Total, 224,000/. But general accounts say that it will not much excecd 200,0001. Canterbury Jonrnal. CHESTER HOP FAIR.—The importance of this fair, as regards the trade in hops, has for sev era l years b een on the decline, and the practice of pitching hops here in bulk has altogether ceased. At our fair on Saturday last there was a good attendance of merchants from Worcester, and the crop in that district being this year both very abundant and excellent in quality, a good business was done at sitisfactory prices; choice samples were much sought after, and prices ranged from 90s. to 115 s. per cwt. for fine Worcesters ; but the trade in Sussex and Rents was limited.—Ch ester Courant NORTH BRITISIL—We are glad to learn that the damages done by the recent floods to the North British Railway at Linton-bridge have now been so far repaired as to render the line at this point passable by the trains. By great exertions on the part of the contractors, Messrs. Ross and Mitchell, the works have just been completed, and we are assured that the erections, though only tem porary, are of the most substantial description, and that four trains with materials of the heaviest kind passed safely over on Friday. The mails from London are still late in the arrival —say about two hours in general—in consequence of the injury to the North British Railway. Yesterday forenoon, however, the mail train which should arrive here at nine in the morning did not reach town till twenty minutes past one in the afternoon. This delay was said to he caused by the locomotive getting off the rails somewhere on the road,—Caledonian Mercury. year Mr. Boutillier had made a large increase of his stock, but the receipts were smaller than usual, and he was unable to meet his engagements as early as he wished. The cause of his deficiency was never sus pected until the night of the 14th inst., when the prisoner was stopped with a large box in his possession, in King David-lane, Shadwell, by two ponce -sergeants, who sus pecting something wrong, asked him what the box con tained. The prisoner made answer carelessly that it was full of wearing apparel belonging to himself, which he was about to leave at a public-house called the Green Dragon, in Lower Shad well, for the purpose of being forwarded br his father's vessel to the north. The officers not being satisfied with this statement, conveyed him to the station-house, with the box, and demanded the key. The prisoner said he had not got the key in his possession, and requested that a policeman should be sent to No. 4, Northumberland-place to fetch one of his mister's shopmen, who knew where to find the key. The shopman returned with the policeman, but without the key, and said he understood the box to contain glasses and decanters. Mr. Boutillier and Mr. Diamond, his cousin and book-keeper, were then sent for, and the box having been broken open, it was discovered that it con tained, instead of wearing apparel, among other articles, 8 mousseline-de-laine dresses, 15 silk handkerchiefs, 12 shawls and scarfs, 5 rolls of riband, 4 cards of pearl but tons, 60 yards of gimp, 9 linen collars, and 20 packages of needles. The wholesale and private marks were upon the whole of the goods, and Mr. Boutillier had no diffi culty in identifying every article. There was a quantity of shop rickets, two dozen of wine glasses, and two decan ters in the same box, the contents of which were valued at about 301. The key of the box, which the prisoner had previously denied having in his possession, and five yards of riband, were found in his pockets. The two police-sergeants immediately followed up their inquiries, and a very extensive system of plunder was detected. On searching a carpet bag and a writing-desk belonging to the prisoner, in Mr. Boutillier's house, three holland bags, con taining bank notes, sovereigns, and silver, to the amount 901., were discovered. There was a pass-book of the East London Savings'- bank also found in the prisoner's desk, from which it appeared that he had paid in 301. to his own account in one payment on the 211th of August last. In consequence of an intimation from an other person in Mr. Boutillier's employ, search was made in a secret place behind the counter, where two more holland bags, containing gold and silver moneys, were discovered. They had been concealed there by the pri soner. The amount in cash and notes recovered was 1381. Os. 11d., exclusive of 301.. in the savings' bank. A five-pound note found in the prisoner's desk was also identified by Mr. Boutillier, who had changed it a few days before the prisoner was apprehended, and another five-pound note bore his endorsement. At the former examination Mr. Boutillier and his cousin said the de ficiency in stock and cash amounted to at least 2001. Since then a more careful investigation had been made, and Mr. Boutillier now estimated his losses at upwards of 4001. The prisoner had received from him 94/.108.20. only while he had been in his service. On the mantel shelf in the prisoner's bed-room several invoices fur gas fittings, brass ornaments, and five looking-glasses were found. They were made out in the name of J. Stoddat% and the goods, to which they referred, were found at the Green Dragon, where they had been deposited by the prisoner, who intended to forward them to Sunderland by his father's vessel. The invoices amounted to 101. Inspector Valentine also removed from the same public house three boxes of linendrapery goods worth 50/., which the prisoner had left there to be for warded by the lago to the same destination. The artichs had been selected from Mr. Boutillier's stock, and the wholesale marks were upon them. Besides the property seized, the officers ascertained that the prisoner had made other consignments of linendrapery to Sunderland, where he intended to commence business as soon as he had accumulated sufficient plunder for that purpose, and there is no doubt, if he had not been st o pp e d i n hi s ex tensive career of robbery, he would have soon ruined his master. A few days before the prisoner was taken into custody he requested his employer's'errand boy to look out some gas fittings, and said he wanted them Vor a friend. The boy jestingly said " No, they are for yourself," and the prisoner admitted that he' was going to open a concern in Sunderland about Novernb:T. Ile then directed the boy to order various goods, fur which the prisoner paid . ready money. Mr. Fearnley made application for a portion of the I money tak.-n from the prisoner to be delivered up to him, and that his wearing apparel should also be restored. Mr. Pelham should be sorry to oppose any application of this nature, or deprive a man, charged with felony, of the opportunity of making his defence ; but really the prisoner's depredations had been practised on such a large scale, and might yet lead to the prosecutor's name appearing in the London Gazette, that he felt bound to resist the application. There were other Josses not ye ascertained, and property at Sunderland which Mr, Boutillier was unable to recover. . _ UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE.

We have mentioned elsewhere the arrival, per the Achilles, of two camels from Smyrna. These were purchased through the agency of Mr. Hall, of the Oriental Company's cffice, for Mr. W. Batty, the spirited proprietor of the AMphitheatre erected by him, at an expense of 30,0004, on the site of the building, formerly Astley's, destroyed by fire five years ago. Mr. Hall has a commission to purchase six more camels, and two elephants, for Mr. Batty, to take part in some of the Oriental specta cles got up at the Amphitheatre. The two brought home by the Achilles are Syrian camels, four years old, the female being in foal. They ars of moderate height, not reaching the full size till eight years old, and these being much less than the Arabian Proper, and much more so than the native Indian camel. The latterwill rise from the ground with a ton weight on his back! The cost of the Syrian camel is not more than 30/., but that becomes lOU when freight and all charges are paid. They are collected in Syria, much in the same manner as horses in England, Isom bret ders in particular localities, and are purchased from them at 101, or even less ; but, of course, increase in charge according to breed and distance to be conveyed. Mr. Batty came down to Southampton to supezintend the landing of the camels, and as his friend Ileneler has his circus in the town, he lent them for his public procession and for an evening's exhibitb.n in the circle. he procession was tendered very imposing. A gaily-painted caravan, drawn by splendid co loured horses, contained a fine band, followed by lady and gentlemen equestrians on very fine horses, arid the roar brought up by the camels, which were certainly the only symmetrical and elegant-looking animals of their species we ever saw, owing to their slender legs and beautifully curved necks ; the hump was not particularly protrube rant, and the body wit dissimilar to a large red-deer. f'he colour was a pure fawn. Their attendants, being a couple of heavy Hampshire stable fellows, dressed in bed-curtain costume intended for Eastern, caused much fun. Finally, there followed two poneys, one of which was the smallest we ever beheld, about the sits of an ordinary Newfoundland pup. We have mentioned above that Mr. Batty built his Amphitheatre at a cost of 30,000/. Of that sum he laid down 9 4,0001. cash of his owe, and paid off the other 6,0001, very soon after wards. Besides that large sum in ready money, his stud and properties were very valuable. .Yet Mr. Batty be gan business on his own account, not above twenty years ag:), with but 5/., the hard savings of t n apprentice to a riding -master in a travelling circus. His first decided advance from moun t e b an ki ng (selling cloth and oth er goods by a species of lottery, the company being at tracted by the performance of a single horse in a circle in a field, now exploded) was in Southampton, where he picked tip " very considerably. One of his best bar gains for a horse at that time was with a late prop r i etor of Bevois Mount. Even at that early time, when sh - were of more account to Batty than pounds are, or at least need be to him, now, he conceived the idea of breeding for himself, and that a new patterned horse. fie observed that the piebalds, and blotched, and be daubed horses were common, and with great judgment and good taste ho selected the mare and sire of almost all his present stud, whose beatitiful spots on a grey ground are as handsome as those of the leop ar d. The cost and privation in business which the acquisition of this stock caused for some years was very great, but the return hts been enormous. We mention this fact as in dicative of Batty's foresight. We may add to this no tice, that he set out in life with a determination to com pel people to respect him. Unlike many other travelling exhibitions, his accounts were always settled before he left the town, and those of his people also. lie was, therefore, always welcomed back again. In his instance, as in many others of successful adventure in a precari ous profession, it will be found, on inquiry, that recti- tude and perseverance have overcome every disadvantage of original position.—Hcmpshire Advertiser, RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS, BRISTOL, OCTOBER 22.
