The accident on the Rouen and Havre Railway, of which a description is annexed, caused a great sensation in Paris on Monday. The Barentin Via duct, which is now a heap of ruins, was a splendid work of art, and its fate is universally regretted. The effect of its destruction will be to postpone the open ing of the Havre Railway probably to the end of the year. Lord Brougham arrived in Paris on Sunday from Canes. The Noble Lord is on his way to London. The contents of the Paris papers are not important. FALL OF TIIE GREAT VIADUCT OF BARER*. TIN ON THE ROUEN AND HAVRE RAIL WAY. The Rouen journals of yesterday give the following acccauit of the giving way of the viaduct of Barentin, on the Rouen and Havre line of railroad. On Friday, at about six o'clock in the morning, a tremendous rumbling sound, which was heard as far as Pavilly, near threesquarters of a league from the spot where it originated, awoke the inhabitants of Ba rentia. It arose from the falling of twenty-eight of the pillars which supported the viaduct, which rose more than 100 feet above the level of the ground. The people hastened in a mass to the scene of the disaster, fully apprehending that many lives had been lost. Happily, however, they were soon satisfied that this was not the case, and that the viaduct alone was the sufferer. The piers and other of the ruins were piled one upon the other, and fortunately in such a direction that the only other building touched by the fall was a corn mill on the River Sainte Auslreberthe and this was thrown down. There was one of the miller's mea in the m ill, but he heard the noise in time to shelter himself under a mai n beam, and when drawn from under the ; ruins he had received no other hurt than a sli ght wound t i ore of his fin g ers. The mill, with its machinery, 1 was completely crus hed. It had been purc h ased b y the Th e course of the river, whi c h railrol. l company , passed under the viaduct, Nag diverted , The now fallea diverted, and its wat ers turned over the adjoining lands. viaduct was commenced in the spring of 1844, since which time from 200 to 300 men ai_pou it, and was so nearly have been employed finished, a that anocot colossal than forty were still at work.

The cause of this vast dest ruct i on cannot b e ascer t a i n ed; but It is ...attributed to the use of bad materials.

The elec tric telegraph brought the news to Paris on Saturday, Mr. Locke, the engineer of the Company, one of the administrators and contractors, and the head of the works, went instantly from Paris to Rouen and &lien tin. The accident, to all appearance, will have none of the serious consequences at first anticipated from it. The manager publishes the following note from Mr. Locke,, which contains that gentleman's first notions re specting the cause of the disaster, and which is to be followed by a more detailed report " At present it is impossible to determine the precise causes of this disaster. the arch which first fell was that on which the ballast wat placed. Its fall may possibly bare been caused by the inequality of the lading, the weight of ballast lying more on one side than the other of the arch. The giving way of the latter may have oc casioned the falling in of the rest of the construction. " The late thaw, by which the mortar was softened, and the solidity of the arch diminished, and the unequal distribution of the ballast at the same time, may have destroyed the equilibrium of the whole. "No one was hurt. The repairs will be commenced immediately. The accident will cause the contractors a loss of 500,000 or 600,000 f., and will occasion two or three months' delay in the opening of the line." IMPORTANT FROM SPAIN. We have received the Madrid papers of the sth and 6th inst. The Government had taken great offence at the manifesto of the Infnnte Don Enrico; and the young Prince had received orders to leave Madrid within forty-eight hours. Passports were sent him for the Ferool, where the ship of which he has the command is now lying; and it is stated in the Eco del Commercio that on his arrival there he will find further orders, which will give him the pleasure of a trip to the Philippine Islands or some other distant region. It is reported, however, that Don Eurico has resigned his commission in the navy, and refuses to go. The address of the Senate was presented to the Queen on the 6th, by a deputation appointed for that purpose. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco at Westminster Hall.) Their Lordsh►ps entered the Court this morning at the usual hour, and proceeded to dispose of the " New Trial Paper." PAGE V. MITCHELL. This case was tried during the sittings of last term, when the facts were published at full length, a short summary, therefore, is all that is necessary. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL stated that the plaintiff got a verdict in the case last term, and he now moved to have that verdict set aside, and a new trial gran ted. issue was case went to a jury upon two issues ; one was that if not being possessed, and the other, not guilty. The declaration contained two counts, the first of which alleged that the river Thames was a navigable river at the place in question ; and, that the plaintiff had a wharf upon the river near Battersea-bridge, where he carried on business as a coal merchant, and as such had certain barges, &c. coming up to their wharf ; but that his trade had been obstructed by reason of the defendant having placed certain posts in the river in front of the wharf. The second count was a count in trover, for certain barges, carts, waggons, &c. The first plea was to the allegation of not being possessed of the wharf ; and the second, that of not guilty, to the count in trover. The Solicitor-General then proceeded to describe the locality of the wharf, and tha premises connected with it. It appeared from the statement that a family named Long held certain other premises near to those of the plaintiff, under a lease from Lord Cadogan ; that a sen of Mr. Long's was also a coal-merchant, and used the wharf in question in conducting his business ; that Mr. Long, sen., had let the wharf' to plaintiff, but the defendant, who had a private house near to the wharf, conceived that the wharf had become his private pro perty, and that it should not be used by the public, and therefore he had put up the ports complaine.l of. It had been given in evidence that the family of Mr. Long had been in possession of his premises for forty or fifty years, and that during the time the wharf had been used by the public ; but the plaintiff did not produce any lease to Mr. Long, he relied entirely on the fact of usor. But the defendant put in the last lease granted by Lord Cadogan to Mr. Long, by which it appeared that Lord Cadogan had demised to Mr. Long the premises he held ; but as to the wharf, there did not appear to have been any demise of that, other than the use of it heretofore. The Learned Solicitor, having stated a number of extraneous facts, then proceeded to read the lease he had mentioned, which was a most voluminous document. Judgment deferred. WEST FLANDERS RAILWAYS..", (THIS DAY.) The first half-yearly general meeting of the Pro prietors in this undertaking was held this day, at one o'clock, in the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of laying before them the present position of the Company. W. P. Richards, Esq., presided. The notice calling the meeting was then read, as was also the report, the substance of which is as follows: " The Directors, at this their first general meeting of the Company, are anxious that a full statement of their proceedings from the formation of the Soc'e. a Anonvme to the present time should be presented to the Pro prietors. With this view they beg to place before them such additional facts and information with reference to the prospects of these railways as their increased know ledge of the country and its resources has enabled them to supply. " The deposit of two pounds per share became due on 30th June, 1845, and the first call of another two pounds on 23d September, 1845. It is most satisfactory to the Directors to be able to state, that the instalments called up have been fully paid, with the exception of the second instalment on fifty shares, which, by an omission of the holder, were not presented until within the last few days, and eleven shares, on which a question has arisen. " The amount of the money received has from time to time been remitted to Belgium at favourable rates of exchange, and a large portion of such money is invested and bearing interest. The sum of 1,000,000 francs, being the caution money originally deposited, re mains in the hands of the Belgian Government, at interest at 3i per cent. This caution money will be returned to the Company by fifths, as the works proceed. The Directors have obtained from the proper authority the Certificate that 2,500,000 francs have been paid up by the Company in Belgium, which certificate, in pursuance of the terms of the grant and law, puts in force the full powers conceded to the Company. The accounts annexed show at the disposal of the Directors a balance amply sufficient for the present requirements of the Company, and such as will render the consideration of a further call at present unnecessary. " It was not until a very late period of the last ses sion of the Belgian Chambers that the grant of these railways was sanctioned, and the concession was given under circumstances which rendered it convenient to de fer the settlement of two important points, which had reference to the direction of a portion of the lines, until a future period. "In one case it was left for the Company to decide, within a twelvemonth, whether it would continue the line from Dixmude to Fumes, or not ; in the other case the Belgian Government was to determine, whether the road from Thielt was to be carried to Aeltre, a town on the Government line between Ghent and Bruges ; cr to Deynze, on the Government line from Ghent to Courtrai. " In August last the Directors proce e d e d t o B ruges , and being 'fully convinced of the superior advantages which a line from Thielt to Deynze, as recommended by Mr. Stephenson, offered over that to Aeltre, they stated their wishes to the Minister of Public Works, and in due time, as soon as the necessary forms were completed, an Arre 6 Royal was granted, authorising the construction of the line in that direction. " At a subsequent period, after having duly examined the country, and considered the question, the Dit ectors formally declared their intention of making the line of railway from Dixmude to Fumes. "Another question of very serious importance occu pied the attention of the Directors. Mr. Stephenson had, in his report of July last, strongly recommended that a branch should be made from Bossuyt, on the Scheldt, to Courtrai, on the Lys, from which latter point the West Flanders Railways lead to Poperinghe, in one direction, and to Bruges in the other ; in fact, com manding the whole railway communication of West Flanders. This induced the Directors to visit and in spect the proposed line, to collect at Bossuyt, Courtrai and other places, statistical details, and to ascertain the feelings and wishes of the inhabitants of the different towns of the province. They are in consequence able duly to appreciate all the value of this branch. "At present the great bulk of the coal, lime, and building stone consumed in West Flanders passes up the Scheldt by Bossuyt, and, by a circuitous, uncertain, and expen sive river navigation of about 180 miles, arrives at last at Courtrai, the distance of whch town by land from Bossuyt is only nine miles. By this proposed branch this circuitous and uncertain communication will be superseded ; and not only will the coal, lime, &c., which have heretofore been brought by water to Courtrai, be carried by railway, but, owing to the diminished cost, the consumption will be materially increased. "The plans having been daly deposited, the Minister lost no time in submitting them to the Conseil of the Poets et Chaussees. The report of the Conseil has been received, end the following substance of an extract from that document will show that the proposed measure has their entire approval The Conseil are unanimously of opinion that with the modifications proposed they may pronounce favourably on the projected line. It seem; t 0 Shona one of great public utility. Tho law for the concession will be brought before the Chambers in February next ; in the mean time the inhabitants of West Flanders are expressing by petitions their anxiety that this branch should be made. The interests of the coal-owners at Mons are equally enlisted on the same side, so that it is not unreasonable to entertain strong expectations that this grant will be conceded by the Chambers. It will materially add to the resources of the West Flanders Railways. "The working p lans h av e been Prep are d accor di ng t o the instructions of Mr. Stephenson, p. 4 those from that portion of the railway between Bruges and Thourout ' towards C ou rtrai, have been approved. Th e land on this section of the line is expropriated ; contracts are entered into for the works, which are of a remarkably d there is every reason to suppose that light tharactertP, h the end of May next. this portion wii; be oPe— y t i me to time, especially Other portions will follow from in th e di rec ti o n of Courtrai ; and it is expected that the line will be completed to that town in October next. "The works near Whourout, which htins been let to contract, are taken at very satisfactory prices. These prices have enabled the Directors to test the general estimates, and to examine the cost of the rest of the line, on tie basis of this experience of the actual offers of capable contractors, Applying these prices to the entire work, there is every reason for believing that it will be completed considerably within the capital ori ginally estimated. The whole distance from Bruges to Thouront will be under contract during the present month. " The Directors are enabled to confirm, in all respects, the opinions which they have put forth as to the value of this undertaking. They believe that it wil4 prove a sound and highly remunerative work, and that it will bring a return at a period much earlier than is usual in lines of a similar length. " The Treasurer's account exhibited capital in favour of the Company to the amount of 171,112/. 2s. 6d., and disbursements 83,558/. 12s. 6d., leaving a balance in the bankers hands of 87,5534 10s." The CHAIRMAN said, that this being the first occa sion on which they (the Directors of the West Flanders Railway) had an opportunity of addressing the pro prietors, he would, with their permission, make a few general observations before proceeding to discuss the matters in the report. He thought that the proprietors were at least entitl e d t o some i nt i mat i on o f t h e princi ph-s on which the management, which was entrusted with, the'! care of their interests, acted, and he was also very anxious to point out to them the line which the railway was intended to take, with the view of supplying the province of West Flanders (Hear, hear)—the line in fact from which they were to derive their resources. The Directors had a high opinion of the capabilities of this undertaking, and each of them (and it was a pleasing fact) had considerable stock embarked in it.—(Hear, hear.) They were there fore pledged to carry it out to a successful issue if pos sible. .Among those gentlemen there were many exten sively experienced in railway affairs, and from these they had selected one to reside in Belgium during the formation of theses works. He meant Mr. Chantrell, who now superintended the affairs of the Company at Bruges, and of whose abilities, as a coad jutor, the Directors had the very highest opinion.— (Hear, hear.) With a mind naturally formed for busi ness, he had the advantages of a thorough knowledge of the Belgian railway system, and was, therefore, in every way fitted for the task he had undertaken. They, of course, recognised the right of any shareholders to the fullest information, and in whatever he might be t'efective, any individual member calling at the office would, he was sure, receive the most satisfac tory replies to his questions. He thought he might now state the principles on which the Directors had hitherto proceeded in the management of the sacred trust reposed in them ; but he would, if allowed, first point out the exact line which this railway would take, in order to accommodate the whole of West Flan ders. They had a map there, but he was afraid that it would not be an easy matter for the shareholders to comprehend every position upon it. The map referred to was, although of a large size, one of that minute character, that the :principal places re ferred to could be with difficulty distinguished, and the towns upon the line, from the place where the share holders sat, were altogether invisible. Thus, they com menced at Bruges, and the line was carried on to Cour trai, and then across by another line to Dixmude, and thence to Furnes. This line supplied a number of most important villages (fur it must be remembered that the villages in Flanders rivalled in magnitude many of the larger towns in England), and thus they commanded, by short and connecting lines, the trade of Ghent, Brussels, and Ostend. Their railway then (ex clusive of the three places last named), of only 89 miles in length, supplied a population of above 60,000 souls, of a mixed agricultural and manufacturing character. The agricultural operations of the country were of the most skilful description, and cattle of the best breeds were grown there. Hops, cern, hemp, flax, and other produce requiring the most skilful cultivation, grew there abundantly. The question might be asked, " What will the probable traffic of such a country be ?" But this question it would be most difficult to answer. What was the fact with regard to the passenger traffic in Belgium some few years ago ? Formerly only two diligences left Bruges in the course of a day, and they were not half filled, but this was no criterion of the number of daily passengers, for, looking at some statistical accounts from the town of Thermonde, he foils(' that the average number of persons leaving that town daily amounted to seven times its inhabitants—(Hear, he ,r) —and so it was everywhere. So that they might see it was an exceedingly difficult thing to state exactly what the amount of traffic might be from any one of those towns. Now, another circumstance for their consideration was, whether this railway could be constructed at a moderate expense ? He was not then speaking of lines like the London and Birmingham, the Southampton, or some of the other London Railways ; but, looking to their own probable expenditure, he would ask if it were likely that a line having their traffic would be likely to fail ? He had great confidence in the statements advanced to the Proprietors, and he had no doubt that they could easily return 94 per cent. upon the capital required.—(Rear, hear.) Their object was, of course, to secure the whole traffic of Flanders, and if the shareholders would do him the favour to follow him upon the map, they would find that this line effected that in a perfectly satisfactory manner. But to effect this more thoroughly they pro posed to extend a communication to Bossuyt-on-the- Scheldt, which communicating with Courtrai-on-the- Lys, would extend iu the one direction to Po peringhe, and to Bruges on the other ; thus, in fact, commanding the whole of the country of West Flanders.—(Hear, hear.) With respect to the mineral traffic, he might state that coal at present came from Mons to Ghent by the canal, which fell into the Scheldt. This was comparatively easy, for it was down the stream, but they were then transmitted up the Lys to Courtrai, a total distance of 180 miles, subjected to the impedi ments of river navigation, and only averaging four voyages in the year (two voyages either way). Now, if they got this railway, as it was more than likely they would, the distance frem Mons would be considerably diminished, for the land carriage from-Courtrai to Bossuyt was only nine miles, and the water carriage would, consequently, be avoided. They could in the same easy way transmit lime and building stone, both of which were much wanted in West Flan ders. The quantity of coal which would come in this way had been estimated at 200,000 tons, but they might have taken the minimum at 150,000 tons, and that alone would constitute a paying traffic.— (Hear, hear.) With respect to the expenses of constructing the line, the estimated original cost was stated at 840,000/, but from the agreement entered into with the contractor on a part of the line between Bruges and Thermonde, the Directors thought themselves justified in saying that the extension to Bossuyt could be made without call ing upon the shareholders for any further payment Jt was a matter of considerable difficulty in an exposé of this kind to place matters in other than a favourable light before the proprietors, but in this case he thought he had kept within due limits. He was not aware that he had any further observations to make, but he would add, in the words of the last paragraph of the report " The Directors are enabled to confirm, in all respects, the opinions which they have put forth as to the value of this undertaking. They believe that it will prove a sound and highly remunerative work, and that it will bring a return at a period much earlier than is usual in lines of a similar length." He had now to move the adoption of the report and its circulation among the Proprietary. To questions from Mr. LINDO, The CHAIRMAN replied, that with reference to the third instalment, some gentlemen were anxious to have that call made, because they had money which they wished invested. With reference to the 87,0001. of a balance, that in consequence of the exchanges being in the Company's favour advantaged them more than if the money had been laid out upon uncertain security. The commission to thefondateurswas guaranteedby the original deed, and they could not, therefore, alter it iu any way. But the shareholders , would observe that the dividends, after allowing 5 per cent. to them, the remaining di vidends would be divided into twentieths-16.20ths of which would be given to the shareholders, and 4-20ths (deducting 5 per cent.) to the fondo kers. A PROPRIETOR asked when the whole line would be finished ? The CHAIRMAN said they would be obliged to have all works concluded within two years and a half from that time. The report was then adopted unanimously. A PROPRIETOR asked a question relative to the Calais and Dunkirk Railway, which the Chairman declined answering. The meeting then adjourned. LONDON GAZETTE.

SUGAR.—To-day, although there were sellers of West In dia Muscovado at a decline on the rates of Friday of 6d per cwt for all qualities, still the trade evinced little inclination to operate, and the business transacted in all kinds was ex tremely limited, the purchases amounting to 200 hhds and trs, including 100 hhds of Barbadoes at public sale, which, however, brought generally the full value. REFINED.—To-day there was only a limited business transacted in refined goods by the home trade, and lower rates were taken, brown grocery lumps selling at 63s 6d, and standard lumps 64s 6d per cwt. For bonded crushed Sugar 33s 9d to 34s per cwt are the rates asked, but there has not been much done ; tere are buyers of large parcels at 33s 6e per cwt. MAunriics.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar was pur chased with caution, and 937 bags auction were sold at a de cline on former rates of is per cwt tine bright yellow went at 52s 6d to 535, good 51s 6d to 525, god middling 50s to 50s 6d, washed 48s to 525, Syrupy 48s 6d, and low sound brown 35s Gd to 37s ; for public sale on Thursday 10,000 bags are declared.

Of Jays, duty paid, 1,843 baskets at public sale only in part sold at prices showing a decline on those of the highest point of the market of 2s to 3s per cwt. MOLASSES.—An impro - ved demand has been experienced for West India, and the rates obtained exhibit a slight iin provement on those previously quoted : the sales amount to 300 puncheons. Antigua good at 245, and Demerara at 22s per cwt. FOREICN.—The business transacted in white Brazil has been extremely limited by private treaty, and prices are still on the decline. In brown the business done has been very limited,_ although prices have become moderate, and rule at 16s to 208 for low to fine quality. Yellow Havannah is offered upon further reduced terms : still buyers have been cautious in their proceedings, and the market has been more liberally supplied. White has met with a dull sale at 32s to 383. All other kinds of Foreign have been purchased with caution, and the rates accepted are rather those pre viously quoted. COFFEE.—This afternoon Mocha Coffee met with little at tention, and 253 bales at auction were mostly taken in, ordi nary greenish at 545, outside package slightly stained with sea water 525, fair sound yellow long berry 755, which is the full value, a small part sold, sea damaged greenish at 40s Gd to 49s 6d, fair sound yellow long berry 71s 6d, sea damaged 51s to 6t s; 27 bags pea berry Singapore Java sold at 37s 6d, and country damaged 33s to 36s 6d ; 21 bags Ceylon went al 59s for line ordinary grey Plantation, 40s 6d for sea da maged, 66s for sound pea berry, and 44s to 49s for sea damaged. TEA.—There has again been no public sale, and at present none is declared; although there are further arrivals, mer chants have confidence, and the town and country dealers are evidently more inclined to increase their stocks, as the consumption continues to be good, and all kinds of Tea mo derate in comparison with those of last seas, n. There has been a large business transacted in Congou, and rather higher rates have been again paid ; the common and medium qua lities, however, met with the most attention. There is but a moderate quantity offering for sale in the private market, notwithstanding the late heavy arrivals. SPlRlTS.—Although there are sellers of Jamrica Rum upon lower terms; still shippers and the home trade have shown little inclination to operate. The limited business transacted in Demerara hasbeen at afall on late quotations of 2d per gallon. Leeward Island has been sparingly dealt in, but proof common quality is not to be obtained under 2s. For Calcatta the demand has been only for small parcels at is lld per gallon proof with certificate. Holders of all descriptions of Brandy evince firmness, and a good business has been transacted. Geneva has been purchased with more freedomf or exportation, and prices are firm. The value of English Corn Spirits is lOs 6d per gallon nett cash ; but there has not been much business done.

Cleaned Rice has been largely dealt in at the late de cline; Carolina selling at 30s to 345, Patna 18s to 225, and fine 23s to 24s per cwt. Rice is still dearer than it was a twelve month leek. For Tepinre and Arrowroot there are few buyers to be met with, and prices are drooping. SPICES —To-day there was more desire shown to purchase black Pepper. IN ith white the market was more liberally supplied, and 720 bags were put up to public sale, but a part only sold, and at a decline on former rates of 4d to ld per lb. Pimento was in fair request privately. Cassia Lignes was purchased with caution.

For forward delivery 25s 6d to 26s are insisted upon, but there are not many purchas rs. The consumption of Linseed Oil does not fall off, and prices still rule low.

For delivery in the two next months several con tracts have been entered into at 43s 3d to 43s Gd. Home made has been purchased extensively, and 43s per cwt paid nett cash.

Brown, Esq., enclosing his subscription of 1,0001. to the Quarter of a Million League Fund :—" Hall Barn Park, Beaconsfield, Buckinghamshire, Dec. 26, 1845. My dear Sir,—l am sorry that I was not able to be with you on the 23d instant, when you made so noble a in monstra don in favour of car r yi ng out the cause which the League has embarked. I have read Mr. Cobden's speech of th! s 24th instant with much pleasure—it is a clear ex position of my views ; nothingcould be better timed than this declaration of our i n t en ti o ns, for our opp onents h ave attributed to us all kinds of motives but the right one. They have now clearly before them a simple intelligible mode of dissolving the to ague by a total and immediate revocation of our corn and provision laws, but without any rider whatever that would render the repeal less ac ceptable to the country. This measure of justice has been too long delayed. I hope our opponents, by this time, see that public opinion. honestly, firmly, and eon stiturt:illy expressed, when founded in justice, is irre sistible. No Administra•ton can now stand and support laws that infitet permanent scarcity on the countly ; but we must, not relax our exertions until every vz stige is rep:u•.ed. Pn,y zny name to your list for one th,,u sand pounds, and blieve me to be ever yours, truly and respectfully, WM. BROWN, of Richmond hill.—Charles Wilson, Esq., Chairman of the Anti-Corn-law League." Lierpool Mercury. GRESHAM LECTURES.—Yesterday being the first day of Hilary Term, the first of the course of lectures was delivered in the theatre of Gresham College, by the Rev. J. Pullen, M.A., on astronomy. The lecture was very nume .lo'l3l attended. UXBRIDGE PETTY SESSIONS. On Monday Henry Lavender, a young agricultural labourer, living at Ruislip, appeared to answer a sum mons under the game-laws, for having on the 7th inst. unlawfully snared a hare. The defendant pleaded guilty, saying it was the first time, and he hoped it would be the last. Thomas Howell, deposed that he was gamtleeper to Messrs. Pearce and Stone, of Ruislip. On the morning of Wednesday last witnesi was watching some snares which had been set in Ruislip Park-wood, when about dsy break he saw a hare caught in one of the snares. Shortly afterwards he saw the defendant come up and take both the hare and snare up, and hand them to William Tobit, by whom he was accompan:ed. Witness then jumped out of his concealment, on which they both ran away. The defendant was fined 20s. and los. costs, or 21 days' imprisonment. William Tobit was then called on a similar summons. The defendant did not appear, but the case was proceeded with in his absence. Police-sergeant Gough, T 24, deposed to serving the summons on the defendant personally on Thursday last. Deiendant said he had done it, and would attend, but he had since absconded from the neighbourhood. Defend ant had been repeatedly convicted of poaching, and had only been a few days out of prison. Howell, the gamekeeper, repeated the evidence he gave in the previous case, and added that on the hare and snare being handed to Tobit he disentangled the former, and killed it by striking it with his hand across the back of the head. On seeing witness, who was about fifteen yards off, Tobit threw the hare away, which witness secured. The BENem said as Tobit had not attended, and being also an old offender, they should fine him in the full penalty of 5/., or two months' imprisonment with hard labour. A warrant for his apprehension was accordingly issued. Richard Man, the keeper of a beer shop, Hillingdon end, Uxbridge, appeared before the Bench of Magis trates, to answer a summons at the instance of the police, which charged him that he, being licensed to sell beer by retail, did, on the 25th of December last, unlaw fully suffer persons of notoriously bad character to as semble in his house. The defendant pleaded not guilty. The Bench convicted the defendant in the full penalty of 5/., with costs. COURT-MARTIAL AT CHATHAM. At the close of the afternoon parade of the troops at garrison, on Saturday, the 10th inst., under Lieutenant- Colonel Kelly, the provisional battalion was formed into a square in the general parade-ground, for the purpose of hearing the proceedings of a district court-martial held at Chatham barracks on the 6th, upon the trial of Colour-Sergeant William Gordon, No. 220, of the 18th Regiment of Foot, who was arraigned under the follow ing charges :- 1. For disgraceful conduct in having at Chatham, in or about the month ef November, 1845, applied to or a ked Mr. John Marks, foreman to Mi. Solomon Lucas, outfitter at Chatham, and so sought to obtain from the said Mr. Lucas a gratuity, fee, discount, or per centage upon the amount charged to the troops for all articles of regimental necessaries proposed to be furnished by the said Mr. Lucas, for the use of the soldiers of the depot of the 18th Foot. 2. For having at Chatham, in or about the month of 1)( cember, 1845, bargained or consented to receive from )Jr. Lucas, outfitter, at Chatham, a gratuity, fee, dis count, or per tentage on the amount charged to the troops, upon all articles of regimental necessaries and equipments proposed to be supplied by the said Mr. Lucas for the use of the soldiers of the 18th Foot. The Adjutant of the battalion, Lieutenant William Maycock, 61st Regiment, read the proceedings in the presence of the prisoner and the troops ; and the Court having weighed and maturely considered the evidence in support of the prosecution, decided that the accused was " Not Guilty" of any part of the charges that had been preferred against him, and acquitted him thereof: The same has been approved and confirmed by order of the Commander-in-Chief. On the dispersion of the troops to the barracks, Sergeant Gcrdon was congratu lated both by the officers and non-commissioned officers of the garrison. In consequence of the above trial, the following bat talion order was issued late on Saturday afternoon last : —" Jan. 10, IS46—No. 1. Officers commanding depots are called on to pay unceasing attention to the Queen's regulations and orders for the army regarding the supplies of necessaries to the men of their respec tive depots, more particularly to articles 29, 34, 35, and 38 ; and they are required to use every means in their power to ascertain that their pay-sergeants do not, in the slightest degree, act contrary to these important re gulations. Any infringement of these enders, which the offi cers may be able to discover, must be reported immedia :ely, it being the determination of the officer commanding the battalion to bring to trial asy pay-sergeai.t who may be guilty of so serious an offence. In order to prevent not only any clandestine infringement by pay-sergeants of article 38 beforementioned, but to remove any suspi cion of such improper conduct, officers commanding depOts are recommended to purchase the necessaries fur the men occasionally at different houses, taking care, on every occasion, that all articl e s c o me furnished of the best quality and at the lowest prices ; all requisitions or orders to their tradespeople are to be signed by the officer commanding depots, and not under any circum stances by the pay-sergeants, who are not to be em ployed as a channel of communication on any occasion regarding necessaries. Officers commanding depots will cause their tradespeople to bring all articles of necessaries to the barracks, when they must be care fully inspected by officers themselves, and issued to the men in their presence. Whenever it may be necessary to send men to the houses of tradespeople for the purpose of being measured for any articles, such men are to be marched there and back under a non-com missioned officer, not a pay-sergeant, with written in structions for such tradespeople. The pay-sergeants are not, on any occasion whatever, to go the houses or shops of the tradespeople who furnish articles of neces saries to the depots. Officers commanding depOts are referred to No. 6 of the battalion orders of the 24th of March, 1841, and republished at the foot of the morning battalion order of the 10th of November, 1841, regard ing the care and attention to be given by them to par ticular points at the inspection of every shell jacket on the individual before being finally issued to any non commissioned officer or soldier. The constant zeal and attention which is so necessary on the part of officers commanding depots, Colonel Weare feels assured will not be wanting on the part of those serving in the pro visional battalion to enable him to give the fullest effect to the regulations and orders of the army; and to a letter, dated Horse Guards, the 31st of December last, which was read to them in the presence of the Com mandant, regarding the important subject of supplying necessaries to troops, which are so well calculated to give every benefit to non-commissioned officers and men under their command respectively." EXTRAORDINARY PROCEEDING BY MR. WATSON, LATE J.P., D.L., AND MR. CHARLES ARMSTRONG, J.P. —SEIZURE OF GUNS, &c.—Between one and two o'clock in the afternoon of Saturday last, as a young gentleman of this neighbourhood, qualified to kill game, and having a certificate for that purpose, and the curator of the Belfast Museum (who, by directions of the Natural His ' tory Society, went to procure some small birds for the collection, on the farm of a friend in Ballinderry), were returning homewards, they were met on the public road, about two miles out of Ballinderry, on the way to Lis burn, by Mr. Watson and Mr. Armstrong, who were out hunting. Mr. Watson threatened to have them taken into custody. The young gentleman at once showed his o certificate, a nd stated that two hares which he had gam killed at several miles' distance, where there had been no hunting for very many years, and where he had the permission of the occupying tenant to shoot. The hares were, nevertheless, taken from him, by order of Mr. Watson. His game certificate, on being shown to Mr. Armstrong, was kept by that J.P., who refused to return it to him. Mr. Armstrong, in addition, seized his gun, and carried it off. The gun of the curator of the Museum was also seized by Mr. Watson, and carried off, although the late J.P. was particularly told that he had been merely shooting small birds on his friend's farm, for the collection already named ; that the gun was registered, and was given him for that purpose Ly a member of the Council of the Society. The birds in his possession, all small, common ones, were likewise shown, to prove the truth of his assertion ; but all was of no avail. They were told by Mr. Watson that they should never see the guns again, and would be fined in twenty pounds each ; and were commanded by Mr. Armstrong to attend at a certain hour, on a day named, at the Petty Sessions, to be held in Crumlin, and ordered to receive this as a summons. Most abusive and insulting language was used towards both the aggrieved, in which particular the late J.P., D.L., was even surpassed by his nephew, Mr. Wakefield. Such are the particulars that have been communicated to us, of an occurrence upon which we refrain from adding any remark, as the case will, we understand, be made matter of legal investigation.— A ot thern Whig. THE CORN -LAWS, &c.—At the meeting of the Marylebone Vestry, the Rev. Dr. Spry in the chair, Mr. Flood, the vestry-clerk, laid before the vestry a letter he had received from Sir James Graham, acknowledging the receipt of the petition to the Queen from the parish of St. Marylebone, signed by 8,000 of the rate payers, praying for a total and immediate repeal of the corn laws, and promising to lay the same before her Majesty at the earliest opportunity. The letter was ordered to be entered on the minutes. DEATHS OF CHILDREN BY BURN I NG. ---lreresSitty erd Mr. Wakley, M. P., held an inquest in t he Unix Col lege Hospital on Martha Murdoch, aged four years, the child of poor parents, who was burned to death by her clothes catching fire during the temporary absence of her mother. Mr. Wakley held a second inquest in the Royal Free Hos pital on Emma Renton, another girl, aged four years, who also lost her life by her clothes catching fire in her parent's absence. On both occasions the Coroner deeply lamented the melancholy sacrifice of life that occurred amongst the children of the poor from the want of proper lire-guards, which through their poverty, although they only cost a shilling, they could not purchase. In his own district alone, he said, that during the season one hundred childreu thus perished. SHIP-RAILWAY OVER SUEZ. There have Igen many wonderful events in connexion with the extension of the railway system. Not the least marvellous of these is the ship railway across the Isthmus of Suez. The following remarks on this sub ject are taken from the first number of the B,itsh and Foreign Railway Magazine " To a mind, scientific in its bias, one subject imparts infinite pleasure. It is the consideration, resulting from the reflection, that mechanical undertakings, con sidered vast in the olden time, have now, through mo dern discovery, become so puny and unimportant, as to be barely feats for college boys ; while, in a more extensive class of these mighty labours—the work of many thousand of artificers—capital of many c::iilior s, and the prolonged half century of the ar tisr.n's labour, are compressed, with all their Iliad of conlingencies, into the comparatively easy nut-shell of a task, accomplished by a brace of competent engi neers, and a staff of subordinates, with the collaterals of material and time. It is thus, by the fortuitous discovery of the element of fire by accidental friction, that a Pro metheus augmyntS the comforts of a race with a useful auxiliary, diminishing the savageness of primeval bar barism, and endowing it with ornament and art. The discovery of steam-power in this latter age is a second stupendous lever towards moving tardy and inert matter into rapid and astonishing movement, and also into trans portation of enormous masses, in a space of time, over a league-long distance, equally regardless of their im menseness of bulk. The Prometheus of this latter case was Watt—was Stephenson. " But in no project, perhaps, of the present day, feasible in its aims and probable accomplishments, is this new power to be comprehended in a more showy and remarkable order of development then in its pro posed application towards transporting across the Isthmus of Suez merchant vessels of the largest burden, filled with their cargoes and merchandise, by a railway and engines, after the ordinary mode of locomotion in this country. Further, it is considered that even the necessity of engines in the case proposed might be dispensed with, and that, as a still further improvement on this scheme, it would be quite practic able to construct all the steamers emplo) ed upon the navigation of the Red Sea on such a principle as to do away with the necessity of locomotive engines to bring them across the Isthmus. They might be fitted, says the noble originator of the plan, with propelling screws in lieu of paddle wheels ; in the place of which latter might be substituted railway wheels, so that the vessel of its truck could wol`k its way with its own engines. This, then, is the beginning of the exemplification of our new plan. " To preclude the supposition that anything chimerical is proposed, or that here is tendered the public any rail way toy or deceptive • Glenmutchkin,' we lay before our readers the name of the actual surveyor of the Isthmus, together with the occasions and facts which led him to the conclusions adduced. " Sir William Cornwallis Harris, major of engineers of the Bombay establishment, so' far back as 1830, during the administration of Lord Clare, was nomi nated by his Lordship to the Bombay Government, who had instructed him to select an officer to con duct a survey of the Isthmus, in view to the exe cution of a navigable canal then in contemplation, although subsequent political events unfortunately set this project askle. He had, meanwhile, diligently collected information on the subject about to be confided to him, arid when returning through Egypt from the mission with which he had been entrusted to the Court of Shea in Southern Abyssinia, he enjoyed an opportunity of studying on the spot the facilities presented towards a project, important alike to the interests of Europe, and to the advancement of the eastern empire over which the East India Company presides. " The ease and simplicity of the means by which great undertakings are generally attained, naturally excite in the thii.king mind feelings of surprise that no simili tude of the same idea should have been conceived before, or come under discussion for contemplation or adoption. " Sir William, however, traces the delay that to this hour obtains in the establishment of a communication which all parties must, and do, concur in admitting to bo most desirable, to the rival opinions that have hitherto been advanced on the respective advantages and disadvantages, the adequacy and inadequacy, of a rail way and a navigable opening at the track, ports, and sea in question. " A favourite project of a late ' crowned king of Gaul,' was to make a navigable passage across the Isthmus of Suez. It was, in fact, one of the gigantic projects of a mind that had hoped to restore Rome to its old splendour, to re-establish the solemn Sanhedrim of the Jews—to make and unmake the rulers of empire. To cut, as with an axe, this arm of land in two—to cause the free waters of either ocean to flow in co allied currents, through this grand and new-formed channel— and to behold the fleets of nations sailing majestically through a marine highway, with merchandise and men, was among the noblest, yet unaccomplished achievements of Napoleon, on the throne of the Bourbons. " The establishment, however, of this desirable com munication, by the combined powers of steam and machinery, has now become a matter—not of diminished grandeur or importance, but of more easily accessible accomplishment in carrying it out to a speedy consum mation. A company, capital, and co-operation are the auxiliaries in present request, and the feasibility of establishing the marine-railway in question is beyond the power of a doubt. "From the first entertainment of this project it has been stoutly asserted that the natural obstacles that op pose its construction are somewhat imminent. Sir William Harris, in his opinion on the subject, showing at the same time the ease of its accomplishment at infinitely less expense, and by a much less complicated process than a canal, as also in a much briefer space of time, states that the line over which the rail must pass, far from being beset with difficulties to the engineer, has been ascertained to present a very favourable profile ; and a hard, gravelly soil, is known to prevail in lieu of the shifting sands of the desert, which were skilfully con jured into existence by a faction whose theory was to arrest the progress of the plan. Those who had a pur pose to serve in thus/opposing the construction of a rail way, are now compelled to admit that it could be made, and would fully answer the mu of accelerating mails and passengers through Egypt ; but they still cling to the scheme which dazzled the mind of Napoleon, and stea"ily maintain the necessity of piercing the Isthmus, so as to obtain uninterrupted water communication by means of a canal, which would enable merchant vessels of the largest class to perform the voyage between Asia and Europa without discharging their cargoes. " The rails of the proposed road being laid down, the next exigent in the case is the special order of engine to be fabricated to adapt itself to the peculiar neces sities of the case. For this purpose it is proposed to construct a class of narrow steam-vessels of about 800 tons burden, suited for freight, and to transport them across the Isthmus of Suez upon trucks, by means of locomotive engines of adequate power. The vessels would advisedly be built upon the plan that will best serve to counteract any additional strain upon the sides in volved by removal from the water, and the cradle truck upon which each will be placed during the transit would be constructed with the same view._ _ _ " The most eligible point to which the railway could be carried is of course determinable solely by the geo graphical character of the surrounding and adjacent country. The Nile about Cairo is clearly the point itidi cated for this purpose. Here the laden steamers might be transferred from ons to the other of the divided seas, through its always navigable channel. „ ” The inaccessible character of the Mediterranean shore, lying over against the Sea of Suez, and the gene ral unfitness of all the ports or roadsteads on that coast for vessels of any considerable draught of water, render it almost unsafe to regard any other point as available. " Owing to the peculiarities of the situation, the en gineer will have to look to the ordering of some few mi nutiae, which we shall specify at the end of our descrip tion. With regard to the locomotive power neces-ary, it appears, in the opinion of judges on the spot, that the engine required to draw a laden vessel of 800 tons burden across the desert of Suez, would not need to possess above three times the power of those ordinarily used upon an English railway ; and the increased disposable breadth for the machinery would render this power one of easy acquisition. The masts of the vessel would have to be so con structed as to fold over and lie flat during;the transit, in order to prevent any action of the wind upon them ; and a moderate width between the rails would then be found sufficient. A station, or siding, to admit of vessels on their trucks passing each other midway, would also have to be constructed in the centre of the line ; and, as the entire distance of eighty -four miles coldd be accom plished in four or five hours, communication between Suez and Cairo might be daily held each way upon a single line of rails. " A million sterling, then, in conclusion, is the outside sum at which this very noble project could be carried out. This sum falls very far short of the lowest estimate that has been framed for ts ship canal, and it may appear a small sum for so long a line as that in contemplation ; but it should be borne in mind that the ground has not to be purchased, that there are neither bridges nor tunnels to construct (both o f w hi ch are amongst the heaviest items of an English rail way), and that only one line of rails will be re. quired. The railway might be completed in two years, whereas the construction of a canal, supposing it to be within the compass of human exert i on, would occupy ten. Commercial interests generally cannot fail to be materially promoted by this mode of trans porting cargoes across the neck of land which disconnects Europe an d A s i a ; and it must propor tionablyimprove the revenues of his Highness the Viceroy of , Egypt. It i s a l ways o b served that t h e operation of a railway is to treble the traffic upon a new line ; and the improved relations with China, as well as the success of a new branch of commerce on the eastern c oast o f Africa, will both tend to swel l t h e importance of the plan suggested. Recurrence also may here b e ma d e to the highly important subject of the coal beds w hi c h h ave been reported to exist within a reason able dist ance o f the coast of Ab yss i n i a , in a position the most convenient for the supply of the depots both at Aden and Suez. " The plan, when carried out, will certainly in those distant and comparatively untravelled regions, produce a new era of commerce, and wider . field, for th e spread of civilisation, philanthropy, and intelligence."
