RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. THE SOUT H-EASTERN AND COUNTY OF KENT.—MEETING AT SEVENOAKS. SEVENOAKS, SATURDAY AFTERNOON. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Sevenoaks and the neigh bourhood was held this afternoon, to take into considera tion the recent policy of the South-Eastern Company, in the matter of the increase of the fares on their line, and also for the purpose of considering what steps should be taken to secure the most direct and cheapest line of rail way communication with the metropolis. Amongst the leading persons present were the Marquis of Camden, Lord Holmesdale, the Right Hon. J. C. Herries, Mr. Mildmay, Mr. Lambard, Petley, Mr. Hussey, Mr. Adams, Captain Nepean, Captain Gordon, Captain Ran dolph, Mr. J. P. Atkins, the Rev. J. Austen, Rev. T. Wilgress, Mr. W. Uolcroft, Mr. T. Carnell, Rev. Mr. Bloxam, Mr. Tonge, Mr. John Ellis, Mr. 11. Hughes, Mr. Briggs, Mr. Peat, Dr. Gellatly, Dr. Harris, Mr. Golding, Mr. Nonaile, the Rev. T. S. Curtis, Rev. Mr. Onslow, Rev. Mr. Repten, Mr. Clayton, Mr. Colman, Rev. Mr. Burton, Mr. Mager, &c. It was stated that Earl Amherst, who was in Wales, and Earl Stanhope, in Scotland, both concurred in the objects of the meeting. The Marquis of CAMDEN saving taken the chair and opened the business of the meeting, Mr. Hoecaorr said, that in consequence of sugges tions he had received from Lord Amherst and others, he had forwarded a notice of the intended meeting to the solicitors of the South-Eastern, and London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway Companies, in order that they might attend it. He believed that some gentlemen con nected with the latter company had arrived, but he un derstood that no one appeared for the South-Eastern Company, neither had any answer whatever been received from them, or any notice taken of his communication. From what had transpired at the meeting held at Can terbury, on Monday last, it was understood that the London, Brighton, and South Coast Company had al ready directed surveys of a line to be made. The meeting having expressed a wish to have some information with regar to the plans proposed by that company, an invitation to attend was sent to the deputa tion from the company, and Mr. W. A. Wilkinson, the deputy chairman, Mr. Burchell, one of the solicitors, and Mr. Sherrard, the engineer, immediately attended. The Noble Chairman having called the attention of the depu don to the objects of the meeting, Mr. WILKINSON said that the engineer being present with him, that gentleman could give the fullest informa tion as to the engineering details of the line now pro posed. The circumstances under which the Mid Kent Atmospheric project had been defeated in the last sea- ' Ilioll had induced the projectors to improve the line of last year. He had not attended for the purpose of giving any pledges of what the London, Brighton, and South Coast Company intended to do. What he had to com municate must necessarily be more historical than pro phetical, as he had received the invitation to attend this meeting only late last evening, on his return to town, so that he had not had any opportunity of communicating with his colleagues, and consequently was not in a posi tion to speak upon the authority of the board. He could, however, state that instructions had been given to survey the best lines that could be had between Lon don and Tunbridge, and branching off through Maidstone to Canterbury. He then adverted to the breach of faith committed by the South-Eastern Company, and contended that their previous reduction of fares had influenced the minds of the Committee of the House of Commons in their favour, and against the competing line of the Atmo spheric Company, whose Bill was rejected, though it offered a maximum rate of fares still lower. He then entered into an exposition of his well-known views with regard to the policy of charging low fares to the public, asserting that low fares and ample accommodation were most advantageous to all parties concerned.—(Hear.) After deprecating the raising of fares for the purpose of obtaining a mere temporary profit without regard to the permanent interest of shareholders, he referred to the proposals made last year by the Atmospheric Company in this respect, and reminded the meeting that if these proposals had been unanimously supported by the land owners of the county in a more decided manner, there would not have been any necessity for their meeting together as on the present occasion.—(Hear.) His col leagues at the board of the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway had determined to prosecute a scheme which would be an improvement upon that of last ses sion, and it only remained for the landowners of the county of Kent to decide upon giving their support to it in such a way as would secure for it a favourable recep tion before Parliament in the next session. Mr. SHERRARD, the engineer, produced his plans, and entered into a number of details and explanations upon matters of a local nature. The CHAIIPIAN asked if they would have the same tunnels as last year? Mr. SHERRARD said they would, but they would have better gradients. The CHAIRMAN—Have you not abandoned the atmo spheric principle? Mr. SHERRARD—Yes; or rather they had abandoned the atmospheric gradients. The line would be laid out as most favourable for locomotive traction. The gra dients were decidedly better than those of last year, and the line would be shorter. With respect to Maidstone, that town would practically be placed on the main line as far as the convenience of the public was concerned. Every train up and down would stop at the Maidstone station. Other questions having been put and replied to by Mr. Sherrard, The CHAIRMAN asked Mr. Carnell, the agent for the South-Eastern Company, if he had any communication to make to the meeting? Mr. CARNELL said he had not received any instructions, and had no authority to make any statement; but as he knew what were the bond fide intentions of the South- Eastern Company, he could assure the meeting that the company would prosecute a line next session, similar in all its features to the one of last year; that is, it would come to Tunbridge through the Basted Valley. He had no authority to make this statement, still he knew this to be the present intentions of the company. The de cision of the present meeting might, however, determine them otherwise. He thought that Mr. Wilkinson's rea soning as to the policy of low fares could not be borne out by experience, and although he regretted what had occurred with respect to the fares being raised by the South-Eastern Cumptiny, he considered that as the at mospheric principle had been abandoned — Mr. WILKINSON—The atmospheric principle has not been abandoned. Mr. CARNELL had Mr. Sherrard's authority for this statement. Mr. SHERRARD—Oh no! I say that the gradients, which were only suitable for the atmospheric, have been abandoned, and better gradients substituted. The line of last year was hastily laid out, but as I have now more time to devote to it this year, I have been enabled to abandon some of the worst gradients, and have very much improved them. Of course the easier the gradients are the better, whether it be for the atmospheric or the locomotive system,—(Hear, hear.) Mr. LATTA, of Bromley, stated that as he had been requested to represent the views of upwards of two thou sand inhabitants of this county, he had attended the meeting in the hope that some parties would have been present from the South-Eastern Company. The requi sitionists, who had desired him to represent their griev ances, wished to know, in the first place, what had oc curred to change their policy since the 27th of Decem ber, 1845.—(11ear, hear.) They wished to know also whether it was true that the South-Eastern Company in tended to branch off from their North Kent line through the Shoreham valley, straight by Maidstone and Ash ford to Folkestone? In the absence of any authorised information as to the bond fide intentions of the com pany, the requisitionists had deputed him to tender their support to any company who would undertake to make a direct line from London to Dover—viz., through Bromley to Sevenoaks and Tunbridge, and through Maidstone, Sittingbourne, Faversham, and Cnnterbury to Dover, and he was only too happy to find that their wishes were likely to be realised by the scheme now proposed by the London, Brighton, and South Coast Railway. The Right llon. J. C. Heertigs said, that having heard the explanation given by Mr. Wilkinson and Mr. Sherrard, it now became necessary to propose some re solution. For his own part he thought that Mr. Wil kinson's statement was extremely satisfactory. (Hear, hear.) He had considered the question in all its bearings as affecting the general requirements of the country, and especially their immediate and local wants, which, as far as they were concerned, were the most im portant after all. The Right Honourable Gentleman concluded by proposing the following resolutions:— " That a line of railway from London, or from the Croydon Railway through Bromley and Sevenoaks, to Tunbridge, will be in every respect the most advantageous for the interests of the public in general, and of the county in particular. That the line proposed to be executed by the London and Brighton and South Coast Railway appears to us to be better calculated to secure these advantages, and to serte the interests and convenience of Sevenoaks and its neighbourhood, than any other plan that has been hitherto proposed." Mr. W. LAMBARD, of Beechmont, seconded the reso- lu ti on. The Noble CHAIRMAN, before putting the resolution, expressed his regret that he should be the only one pre sent who entertained opinions in any way at variance with those of the meeting. lie was always anxious, if possible, to think with his neighbours, but in this matter he must differ from them ; for he thought they had not considered suffi c i en tly the extreme improbability that Parliament would sanction any other lines next session than those proposed by the South-Eastern Company. The Noble Marquis then put the resolution to the meet ing, which was carried by acclamation. On the motion of Mr. llErtams, seconded by Mr. WILKINSON, a vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman. OPENING OF NEW LINES. The Seamer and Filey Branch of the Scarborough Railway was inspected by General Pasley on Thursday last, and its opening was officially announced to take place yesterday (Monday). The delay in the opening of the branch line of the London and North Western Branch to Bedford, from the junction at Bletchley, has arisen from some subsi dence in a portion of the works. It is now finished, and the opening is finally fixed for the 14th inst. _ The Eastern Counties Branch to North Woolwich is to be completed for public traffic before Christmas next. The company are having powerful steam bridges, or ferries, built for the transit of passengers across the Thames. The line runs along the waterside of the Es sex marshes, and branches into the Thames Junction and the Eastern Counties Colchester main line at the &ratfofd station. Mr. Samuels is the acting engineer. Tbe_S r tamforel and Peterborough was publicly opened on Friday last ; Captain Coddington, the Assistant In spectoraltailways, having examined the works on the previous; thy, in company with Mr. C. P. Roney the secratary•to the Eastern Counties, to which company it has been leil.sed. It is twelves miles long. They! and Beverley line has also received the innction of the Government o ffi cers. Its opening took place yesterday (Monday). IMMENSE CONTRACT FOR. IRON.—There is an accre dited rumour here, says the Hereford Times, that Sir John Guest, Bart., Dowlais Ironworks, has just com pleted a contract to supply two hundred thousand tons of iron rails, at la per ton—the total value of which will be two millions sterling. The same iron, three or four years ago, would have been sold at from five to six pounds per ton! It is to be hoped that the operators throughout these immense works will participate, by s liberal advance of wages, ,in the vast profit to arise. LYNN AND DEREHAM.- -The works on this line, be tween Narborough and Sw affham, are progressing very rapidly, under the superintendence of Mr. Hall, the resi dent engineer. The contractors for the line, Messrs. Frost, Fry, and Matthewson, have upwards of 600 men employed. LYNN AND ELY.—The first experimental trip on the Lynu and Ely Railway was performed on Friday from Ely to Downham. The train conveyed a number of the directors and their friends. It is expected that the line will be opened for traffic in a few weeks. The South-Western have agreed with Mr. Brassy, the contractor, for the execution of the Fareham branch. The works will be commenced forthwith. During the last few days a survey has been made of the property at Landport, preparatory to the usual notices being given of the company's intention to apply to Parliament for an Act to extend their line to the Lion Gate Road. A second line of rails from Chichester to Worthing is rapidly approaching completion. EXTENSION OF THE NORFOLK STATION AT NORWICH. — The increasing traffic, which is almost every day develop ing itself on the Norfolk line, has rendered a considerable extension of the terminus at Norwich absolutely neces sary. The hamlet of Thorpe, with its beautiful meadows adjacent to the river Wensom, has been within the last few months completely changed into a bustling village. Twelve months ago the only hum of occupation heard to proceed from its quiet street was the monotonous splash of the mill-wheel as it performed its daily labour; but now for 50 acres, almost as far as the eye can reach, the green sward has been cut away, houses and factories have been erected, and a little city has sprung up, as it were, by magic. The entire traffic of the capital of Eastern Anglia, as far as its carrying trade goes, ap pears to be concentrated at this place. The quantity of agricultural produce transmitted from the various corn-growing districts throughout the county to the metropolitan markets is also steadily increasing. During the last few months 24,432 beasts, 21,500 sheep, 6,272 pigs, and 8,796 tons, or 89,096 quarters, of grain have been conveyed to the metropolis. The passenger traffic has likewise considerably increased, upwards of thirty trains either arrive or depart from the Thorpe station every day. Daring the last month express trains have been running to London and back, a distance of 252 miles, in eight hours and sixteen mi nutes. The London morning journals now arrive in Norwich by twelve o'clock, and at Yarmouth in about an hour afterwards. RAILWAY SLEEPERS.—A diversity of practice appear ing to have existed on the part of the revenue officers in the admeasurement of timbers of irregular dimen sions, intended as sleepers for railroad purposes, the Commissioners of the Customs department have directed the principals of the revenue at the port of London, and at the several outports of the Unitsd Kingdom, to be informed, for the future government of the officers under their supervision in the matter, that when the description of wood goods in question do not exceed two cubic feet in content, the same are to be taken account of as directed by the seventh section of the official instructions for the guide of the Customs' timber measurers, viz., to take the length, height, and width of the pile, to the full extent in feet and inches, compute the content to an entire foot, and reject the frac tional part ; that when they exceed two feet, and do not exceed five feet in content, they are to be treated in conformity with the 17th and 23d sections of the said instructions, viz.—to take the length to the quarter of a foot, and the breadth and thickness, at the middle of the piece, to a quarter of an inch, including, in each separate content, every fractional part amounting to the tenth of a cubic foot; and that when exceeding five feet in content, and not exceeding ten feet in length, and being eight inches square, and roundwood, nine inches in diameter and upwards, the same are to be dealt with agreeably to the Board's general order, issued in April last, viz., that with respect to the recent im portation of wood of irregular form, being eight inches square and upwards, the admeasurement of which had not previously been provided for by any existing ] order, the following regulations be adopted, viz. :—that timber and wood, eight inches square and up wards, and not exceeding ten feet in length; and round wood nine inches in diameter and upwards, not exceeding ten feet in length, be measured in the following manner— viz.: the length of each piece to half a foot, and the breadth and thickness of square, and the diameter of round timber to a quarter of an inch, the content being computed to half a foot, with directions to the officers strictly to govern themselves according to this rule. As this description of wood is now being imported to a very great extent, especially from Canada and other of the British provinces of North America, for the particular purposes to which it is applied, and which is likely ' in consequence of the large amount of railway operations in progress and in embryo throughout the kingdom, to continue to be the case, the mode in which the official account for the duties is in future to be taken will be in teresting and of importance. FUNERAL of THOMAS CLARKSON Yesterday, the mortal remains of Thomas Clarkson were consigned to their final resting place, in Playford Church-yard. The funeral was strictly private, for, with the exception of Joseph Sturge, Esq., who arrived unexpectedly, none but relatives took part in the ceremony. Several gentlemen from Ipswich and the neighbourhood were, however, present to testify their respect for the memory of the venerable philanthropist, and their sympathy for the bereaved widow and family. The funeral cortege, con sisting of the hearse, drawn by four horses, and four mourning coaches, each drawn by two horses, left Play ford Hall a few minutes past one o'clock. In the first coach, which preceded the hearse, were Arthur Bidden, Esq., and J. D. Harmer, Esq. In the coach following the hearse were Thomas Clarkson, Esq., grandson of the deceased gentleman, chief mourner, the Rev. W. Dickinson, Mrs. Dickinson, th e Rev. Foster Maynard, and Mrs. Dyce. The next con tained Robert Buck, Esq., Alexander Haldane, Esq., John Corsbie, Esq., and Mrs. Corsbie. In the last were J. A. Hardcastle, Esq., and Joseph Sturge, Esq. The procession was closed with the pri vate carriage of Mr. Clarkson, followed by the domestics of the establishment. As soon as the outer gate of the domain was reached, the car riage of E. N. Shawe, Esq., with that gentleman inside , fell into the line of procession, which was further increased by the addition of the gentlemen from the neighbourhood. In this order they proceeded through the village to the churchyard, passing, at every point, groups of the inhabi tants, whose respectful demeanour was a most gra tifying feature in the scene. Arrived at the church yard, some little time was occupied in drawing the coffin from the hearse, owing to its great weight, and the mourners having alighted, and entered the consecrated ground, they were headed by 'the Rev."r. D. West, Vicar of Rushmere, who read the beautiful burial service of the Church of England most impressively. The family vault, in which rest the remains of Thos. Clark son, Esq., barrister, the deceased's son, whose death oc curred in 1837, is situate near the door, in the south side of the chancel. The coffin, containing besides a shell and a leaden coffin, and covered with plain black cloth, with a silver plate on the top, having the name of the deceased and the dates of his birth and death en graved thereon, having beep lowered into the vault, the family returned to the Hall, and the spectators shortly afterwards dispersed. The funeral was under the super intendence of Mr. Ray and Mr. Maplestone, of Ipswich. —Suffolk Chronicle. TIIE COPPEUING &Hrs.—lt is said that there are at the present time so manyvessels destined for the Medi terranean and elsewhere being coppered at the port of Sunderland, that a difficulty is experienced in obtaining the requisite supply of copper from the manufacturer as quickly as is required to supply the demand.—Newcastle Guardian. KESWICK.—We are sorry to say that a very severe epicemic is prevailing amongst cattle in our neighbour hood. John Spedding, Esq., Mirehouse, has suffered, according to his stock, materially; he has lost six, and has now thirteen more in the same fatal disease. They are all Irish cattle, which he buys to feed off.—Kendal Mercury. The wife of a peasant, says the Raro of Caen, has just been delivered of three healthy male children. Two years ago she had two female children at the same birth, making five children in the two years. DOUBLE SUICIDE.—EXETER, SATURDAY.—Con siderable sensation has been created in the vicinity of St. Mary Ottery by a dreadful occurrence, by which the deaths of two unfortunate factory girls were occasioned. On Friday week the deceased females, Mary Ann Old ridge and Jane Smith, were visited by a man of indiff•rent character, from whom Oldridge contrived to possess her self of half-a-crown to get some liquor with, and never returned ; the other deceased following her. The man subsequently meeting with them, threatened to expose them to their employer Mr. Newbery, the silk factor, in Exeter, if they did not immediately return him his half crown. Not having sufficient to make up the required sum, the threat appeared to operate so powerfully upon their minds, that they went to the neighbouring chemist and purchased 3d. worth of arsenic, with which they re solved to destroy theniselves. They then returned to work at the factory, and on leaving at night went public-house kept by a person named Taylor, where they mixed the poison in some cider and drank it. Oldridgo died in dreadful agony on Wednesday, and Smith in twenty-four hours after. Yesterday an inquest was held on the bodies of the unfortunate women before Mr. Aberdeen, the coroner, at the Re d Lion Inn, Ottery, when the jury, after several hours' deliberation, returned a verdict of Felo de see. Both bodies were interred late last night in the parish churchyard. FUNERAL OF THE LATE W. T. D. TRENCHARD, ESQ.—The remains of the late William Trenchard Dillon Trenchard, Esq., of Lytchett House, in the county of Dorset, were consigned to the family vault in the parish church, on Thursday, the 24th Sept. The solemn pro cession left the family residence at twelve o'clock ; in ad tion to his own relatives he was followed by his numerous tenantry. His loss will be deeply felt by the poor of his neighbourhood. The deceased was the eldest son of the late Rev. H. Luke Dillon, formerly rector of Lytchett Matravers, grandson of the late Lady Augusta Dillon, and was nearly connected with the noble families of Clanricarde and Clanbrook. He will be succeeded in the estates of Lytchett Matravers and Child Okeford by his next brother, llenry Luke Smith Dillon, Esq., who, in obedience to the will of the late William Trenchard, Esq., will assume the name and quarter the arms of Trenchard with those of Dillon.—Sherborne journal, VISIT of the QUEEN and PRINCE WILL OF THE LATE LORD MET- LAW INTELLIGENCE.

At five o'clock, the aged and poor inhabitants assembled in the Town hall, to enjoy the steaming beverage, liberal subscrip tions having been obtained for the purpose; and being joined by a large number who had purchased tickets, gratification reigned throughout the Hall, and many an aged countenance beamed' with the smiles of younger days. The festivities closed with a ball, and dancing was kept up till a late hour.— West Briton. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A young man, named William Payne, was brough before the Lord Mayor, charged with having made desperate assaults upon the police. He had been fre qaently, upon previous occasions, summarily convicted at the Mansion House, and at some of the Metropolitan Police-offices, upon accusations of a similar kind. John Nl'Dougal city policeman, 659, stated, that at twelve o'clock on Saturday night, he saw , while on duty in Bishopsgate, the prisoner strike a young gentleman in the mouth, and knock him down. Witness inter ferred, and tried to prevail upon the prisoner to go on, but the prisoner began to knock down the bystanders right and left, and struck the witness, and kicked him most violently, and in the most dangerous manner. Several policemen then came up, and the prisoner severely assaulted them, and tried to do them the most serious injuries with his feet and his fists. The prisoner had a mob of vagabonds cheering him on and assisting him. Mr. O'Donoghue, a watchmaker, witnessed the violent conduct of the prisoner, and observed, when the police man took him to the station-house, that he was served right. No sooner had he said the words than a fury of a woman struck him with her fist on the face. That was a signal for a severe attack upon him. A crowd of fellows pressed upon him; kicked him, and knocked him over head and heels. The behaviour of M'Dougal, the policeman, was deserving of the highest commendation, for even when desperately struck and kicked, he showed no disposition to retaliate, but merely secured the pri soner with a firm and resolute harid. The crowd fol lowed the witness as far as Sun-street, and kicked and wounded him upon the head and body. The prisoner made several attempts to use his teeth, as well as his hands and feet. The LORD MAYOR said the complainant had evidently met with the greatest kindness, and that as summary convictions had no effect upon the prisoner, the City so licitor should prosecute him at the Old Bailey. Committed to Newgate for trial. GUILDHALL. A middle-aged man named Merry, was charged with stealing an inkstand from the Court of Common Pleas, Guildhall, where the Revising Barrister, Mr. Arnold, is now carrying on the revision of the City Registration. The prisoner was stopped by a policeman when in the act of quitting the Court with his prize. He acknow ledged his guilt, to which he said he was driven by want, an assertion evidently contradicted by the re spectability of his dress and appearance. Finding that the excuse made little impression, he took another ground, and said that he committed the theft " in obedi ence to a sudden impulse which he could not resist. He had never felt such a sensation before." The latter con fession excited some laughter. He was ultimately re manded to Wednesday, that inquiries may be made into his character. It may be observed that a little sharper looking after such persons in the public courts and offices is much wanted. FATHER MATHEW DESCENDED FROM A WELSH KING. Father Mathew is descended from a very ancient Welsh family. The records of the principality carry the pedigree back to Gwaythvocd, king of Cardigan, in di rect descent from whom was Sir David Mathew, the great standard-bearer of Edward IV., whose monument is in Llandaff Cathedral, as also those of his grandsons, Sir William and Sir Christopher Mathew, of about the date of 1530. Edmund Mathew, Esq., the grandson of Sir William Mathew, and heir to the ancient estates of the family at Llandaff and Aradyr, was high she riff of the county of Glamorgan in 1592. Two of his sons, George and Edmund, went to Ireland about the year 1610. Here, in 1620, George mar ried Lady Thurles, widow of Lord Thurles, and mother of the first and great Duke of Ormonde. Thus closely allied by blood and friendship with the Ormond family, and possessed of the vast estates of Thomastown, Thurles, and Annfield, in Tipperary, and in the counties of Clare, Galway, Cork, and Limerick, the family con tinued down to the present time. Francis Mathew, son of Thomas Mathew, of Annfield, was a gentleman of the highest consideration in Ireland, and became succes sively Baron, Viscount, and Earl of Llandaff. At his death, in 1806, the estates amounted to upwards of 40,000!. a year. His successor, the last Earl of Llan daff, greatly encumbered them, and on his death in 1833, intestate aad without issue, the property was entered upon by his sister, Lady Elizabeth Mathew. This old lady, who before her death was said to be not unfit for a lunatic asylum, died in 1842, and in direct violation of, and opposition to the will and desire of George Mathew, as above named, from whom her grandfather, Thomas. Mathew, of Annfield, had derived the estates, bequeathed the whole, entirely from her name and family, to a French nobleman, Viscount de Chabot, highly connected in Ire land, but in no way allied in blood to the Mathews. Thus were the estates of the Mathew family, after the lapse of centuries, conveyed away from them. What is singular enough, the old lady, who,' we believe, had adopted and brought up Father Mathew, made him an executor of this very will which deprived his family of its property. He naturally declined to act. The will, it is said, can be disputed, but we are not aware of any steps having been taken by the Mathew family as yet. The castle and domain of Thomas town is re gar d e d as one of the most beautiful places in Ireland, and is situ ated in what is termed the golden valley, about four miles from Cashel, in the county of Tipper ar y. Th us , by one of those mysterious ord i nances of Providence, which occur in all ages, as if to point out the finger of God in particular events, needing nothing but its own energy to produce them—Father Mathew is deprived of the fortune which could greatly assist in affecting his work ; yet he is called forth, and does it.— Monmouth ; shire Merlin MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Michael Murphy, a tailor, living at No. 6, St. Ann's court, Soho-square, was charged yesterday morning with assaulting complainant with scissors. John King said the defendant came home that morn ing, between three and four o'clock, and pulled all the bed-clothes off him. He got up, and asked him what he meant by that, when he struck him a severe blow. The defendant then pulled out a pair of large scissors, and stuck them into his nose. He pulled them out, and with one of the blades made a deep gash in his arm about an inch and a half long. The complainant resisted him, and, in attempting to twist the scissors from his grasp, had his band cut across. The police•constable who took him into custody said the complainant was bleeding much at the nose, and there was a deep ugly gash on his arm. The defendant said he found the bed-room dcor locked, and it was not unfastened for a long time after he knocked. The complainant also had cut him with the scissors. The MAGISTRATE said he had used a very dangerous weapon, and he would fine him 41., or send him to prison for six weeks. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. lANDON, OCT. 5.-Wind S.W., light breeze, and cloudy.

Lilley, a fishmonger, and native of Bedford, in a retired spot called Clapham-wood, the throat being frightfully cut, so as to sever the windpipe, with a contused wound over the left eye, apparently the effect of a blow with some heavy weapon. The body was in a crouching posture, under a large tree, to which it had been attached by a handkerchief, the corner of which was torn off, the other end being tied to another handkerchief, which was around the neck of the deceased, and the folds of which were deeply embedded in the wound. Within a few yards of the spot a hat was picked up, and a knife stained with blood was found lying amongst the under• wood. The body was readily identified, and informa tion having been given to Mr. E. Eagles, the county coroner, a respectable jury was impannelled to inquire into the circumstances. The Coroner, in summing up the evidence, adverted to the very suspicious circum stances of the case ; and the jury, after a short con sultation, returned a verdict to the effect, "That the deceased Joseph Lilley was found dead in Clapham wood, with certain wounds, which the jurors are of opi nion were inflicted by the deceased himself, when in an unsound state of mind." WORSHIP-STREET. John M'Cartney was brought before Mr. Broughton, charged with creating a mob, and violently assaulting the police. 201 G stated that, on Saturday night last, about half- past ten o'clock, he was on his beat in Horseshoe-alley, Shoreditch, when he saw the prisoner in a most ex citeable state, is the midst of about sixty persons. Wit ness desired him to go home. Prisoner refused, but witness, thinking that he would be quiet, walked off, but as he was proceeding he suddenly received two tre mendous blows on the neck from the prisoner, who then fastened on him, and both fell to the ground. Prisoner then commenced kicking and biting witness, and, he be lieved, he would scarcely have escaped with his life, had not a brother police-constable come up to his assistance. The prisoner was then secured, but not without the ut most difficulty. This statement being corroborated, Mr. BROUGHTON said that the police must be pro tected from such ruffians as the prisoner, otherwise they were of no use. He should commit him for three weeks to gaol, with hard labour. SALT MONOPOLY IN FRANCE.—The monopoly of salt has recently been made the subject of a report to the French Academy by the celebrated traveller in America, M. de Tocqueville. The Academy, M. de Tocqueville states, is aware that the question of the production of salt, and its price, is one of the most important consider ations with reference to public health and agriculture that can occupy the attention of political economist and statesmen. This subject has of late years very much agitated the public mind in France, and M. de Tocque ville complains that salt is, in general, only viewed by the Government in connexion with taxation, and that the tax bears no proportion to the value of the com modity, which is thus raised to an exorbitant price. It appears that the salt makers in the south of France have entered into a confederacy for the purpose of keeping up the price, and it is even feared that the salt monopoly will soon be in the hands of one individual. "Of what advantage, then, is it," M. de Tocqueville asks, " for the state to lower the tax, if the maker has it in his power to command the market, and raise the price at his pleasure ? " M. de Tocqueville is not in favour of abolishing individual monopoly for the purpose of establishing one by Government in its stead. Such a measure, he thinks, would be dangerous, and that the state has already greatly exceeded its proper sphere of action, meddling with many details with which it ought to have nothing to do, and thus exposing its power, at once extended and enfeebled, to become at the same time oppresive and weak. Exposuaz or HUMAN REMAINS. —Throughout the whoie of Sunday, the greatest excitement and disgust pervaded the neighbourhood of the Caledonian road, Islington, Maiden-lane, and King's-cross, en the disco very of a large quantity of human bones and pieces of coffins exposed in the public thorough fares of these localities, under circumstances of a most suspicious and mysterious character. The secresy observed in bringing the remains to the various spots has been such as almost entirely to prevent the detection of the parties who have been guilty of this gross act. In Albion- street, a new street running from the Wharf-road, Maiden-lane, to the Caledonian road, a cart-load of earth, &c., was shot on Saturday in the middle of the road, which is in the course of con struction, and emitted a most disgusting effluvium, but was not noticed to contain the remains of human beings. The stench caused an examinatisn to be made, and seve ral other portions of coffins half rotted, and human bones were found. In Bath-street and River-street, two new streets in the course of formation on the north side of the Regent's Canal, a more disgusting proceeding has been resorted to—upwards of three waggon loads of black earth, intermingled with human bones, have been deposited in these streets, and men have been employed to sift the earth for the purpose of mixing portions of it with lime. The bones left in the sieve, composing all parts of the human frame, were thrown on one side and partially buried under clay. The stench arising is of a most dreadful description, No one can tell where the bones, &c., have been brought from, nor who are the parties concerned. The reporter was present at the various spats, and saw leg and arm bones and portions of human skulls thrown about in all directions. What the police could have been about in allowing such a proceeding to take place without inter ference is asked by every one, as it is stated that two cart loads of the black earth, &c., were deposited in River-street on .Sundaylmorning at two o'clock. FEARFUL ACCIDENT AT A BREWERY.--On Sa turday afternoon, between the hours of five and six o'clock, an accident of a most fearful character, and which it is feared will prove fatal, occurred to a man named Edward Windsor, a bricklayer, who was engaged at work at Messrs. Harrison's, the extensive brewers, in the Hampstead -road. The unfortunate man was at the period in question on the top of the building, and by some unaccountable means lost his footing and fell into a well, from a height of above 250 feet. He was conveyed in a cab to the London University College Hospital, when it was ascertained by the house sur geon that he bad sustained a broken leg, fractured both arms, and other serious i n j ur i es, so as to leave no hopes of his final recovery. CURIOUS ROBBERY. --- Rather more than a month ago a young man named Langlois, who was garcon de bureau to M. Bernard, an agent d'affaires in the Rue Taranne, was tried for rob bing his master of a sum of 3,137 franc; and sentenced to seven years' imprisonment. The circumstances of the robbery were rather curious. Langlois, who did not sleep at the house of his employer, but went there early every morning, himself gave the alarm, and the family, on quitting their beds, found the office in a state of confusion, with stains of blood on the floor, chymical matches lying about, and a window forced. Langlois himself had done all this to make it appear that the place had been entered by burglars, and that one of them had been wounded in doing so. Langlois, however, overacted his part so much that he was suspected and arrested. He protested his innocence up to the moment of his con detonation ; but on the followi ng day confessed his guilt, and made some disclosures which led to the ar rest of his wife, a young and very pretty woman, and her mother, whose name is Froment. They were brought before the Court of Assizes charged with having had a knowledge of the robbery, and with having converted the proceeds of it to their own use. It appeared from the evidence that a few days before the trial of Langlois he revealed to his brother, who had gone to see him in prison, that he had really stolen the money, and in order to conceal it from his wife and his mother-in-law, who he said would soon have dissipated it, he had hired a room in the Rue du Four, St. Germain, and had put it, with the exception of 40 francs, which he had taken for immediate use, in the chimney. He requested his brother to go to the room and bring away the money, in order that he might not lose it, and that, being found, it might not be evi dence against him. The brother refused, but impru dently mentioned the circumstance to the wife and mother-in-law of the prisoner, who went to the room and curried off the money. They would probably have escaped detection, as Langlois, who had been informed by his brother of what they had done, would not have mentioned the circumstance to the authorities but for the conduct of his wife, who whilst he was in prison led a life of dissipation, and when applied to for as sistance to procure him a few comforts sent him one franc. When the apartment in which the wife and her mother lived was searched there was found a quantity of linen, jewellery, &c., which they had pur chased with the proceeds of the robbery, and 300 francs in gold. It was ascertained that the mother, who first visited the room in the Rue du Four, had cheated her daughter by abstracting nearly 1,000 francs from the amount concealed by Langlois. As the evidence of their guilt was s o s t rong t h at d en i a l w as useless, they male a confession, and threw themselves upon the mercy of the Cou r t, t h e mot h er p l ea ding for indulgence for her daughter, w h o, she said, took no part in the robbery, although she admitted that she subsequently partook of the spoil, an d t h e d a ughter imploring in dulgence for her mother on the ground of her having three younger children entirely dependent upon her for support. Langlois himself appeared as a witness against the prisoners, and was very severe in his remarks upon his wife ; her profligate conduct with other men, and the wretched pittance that she had sent him in prison, hav ing rendered him furious against her, The jury found both the women guilty. The Court, in its discretion, lowered the punishment two degrees in favour of the , mother, who was sent ence d to three years' imprisonment, and inflicted the minimum punishment, two years' im prisonment on the daughter. The mother heard her sentence without betraying any emotion, but the wife fainted, and on her recovery uttered piercing cries. The other children o f th e mo ther, who were in court during the Galignani's Messen ger . trial, were removed crying bitterly.-- MR.

Several of the Cows imported some months since, and which were disposed of to the cow keepers in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, have again appeared on sale here in excellent condition ; and we understand they have turned out excellent milkers.

The receipts at Hull have been about 500 head of various kinds of stock, chiefly from Holland. By sea, about 200 Pigs have arrived in the metropolis from Ireland. We had on offer 830 foreign Oxen and Cows, 2,300 ditto of Sheep and Lambs, and 22 Calves, nearly the whole of which found buyers at full prices. The supply of home-fed Beasts was again moderately extensive, and of fair average quality. On the whole Beef was in a sluggish state, and last week's quotations were barely supported. From the northern dis tricts we received 2,200 Short-horns, from the western and midland counties, 700 Herefords, Devons, Runts, &c., and from other parts of England, 400 of various kinds, the re mainder of the supply being chiefly derived from abroad. With Sheep we were, comparatively speaking, very mode rately supplied ; hence the Mutton trade was active at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, the currencies obtained on Monday last. Lamb being now out of season, we have dis continued to quote it. In Calves and Pigs a steady business was doing at extreme prices.

I I 4,217 25,630 132 NEVJGATE AND Owing to the high prices for live stock in the north of England and elsewhere, very limited supplies of slaughtered meat have come to hand from all quarters during the past week—they having amounted only to 50 carcases of Beef ; 150 ditto of Mutton ; 70 ditto of Lamb ; 80 ditto of Veal ; and 90 ditto of Pork. However, the supplies on offer, killed in the metropolis, have been on the increase ; hence the general demand—if we except the inquiry for Veal, which has ruled steady—has been in a very inactive state, and the quotations have, in some instances, had a downward ten dency. About 100 carcases of foreign Beef; 500 ditto of Mutton; 40 ditto of Lamb; and 30 ditto of Veal, have been disposed of at good prices. I Pigs. 500 CONTENTS OF THR TREATISE. CHAPTER 1.

Our markets have been again fairly supplied with Pota toes since our last report, but the quality has proved inferior. There is, however, a good business doing, at from 3/ to 6l 105 per ton. The imports of Wool into London in the past week have been extensive, viz., 117 bales from Adelaide, 1,380 bales from Bombay, 195 bales from Launceston, 919 bales from Port Philip, 529 bales from Algoa Bay, 241 bales from the Cape, 122 bales from Gibraltar, 70 bales from Lisbon, 202 bales from Seville, and 64 bales from Genoa. In the private contract market a good business is doing in English Wool, at very full prices, but foreign and colonial qualities com mand very little attention. TALLOW. This market has been very active during the past week, and prices of every description of Tallow have advanced Is 6d to 2s per cwt. On the spot, new T. C. is worth 46s to 46s 6d, and for forward delivery on or before the 31st De cember, 45s to 45s 6d. The quotation of Town Tallow is below its value. There are letters in from St. Petersburgh this morning. The price there was very firm, and the ship ments are 70,000 casks, against 83,000 to the same date last year. Woolwich Dock er u n E o . f — the The m In which Mr. TnE W m EL .c LI u N n G u T un O , and the riggers under his direction, accomplished yard, N boa S ts T w A the raising of the great weight of this statue, has sur prised many persons, but Mr. M'Cullum does not consider the feat more that an ordinary task, as he would have no hesitation in undertaking to raise a body of one hundred tons weight to a similar height of one hun dred and five feet, which the base on which the eques• trian statue of the Duke of Wellington now stands is from the ground. The work of raising the statue was accomplished by forty-four men, eight at each of the four " crabs" for coiling the ropes, two holding on, and one at each stopper. Some idea of the strength of the framework may be formed, when it is computed that it supported a weight of about ninety tons at a height of upwards of 105 feet from the ground. This is ascertained by calculating the weight of the statue, the ropes and tackling, and the number of per sons, of whom there were always upwards of sixty, in cluoing strangers, on the scaffolding, until the statue was raised to its proper position. So excellently were all the parts adjusted, that four men, with two single ropes, moved the statue backwards and forwards on the tramway, when Mr. Wyatt adjusted it on the Thursday after it was raised to the top of the arch. The framework required 250 loads of timber, the whole of whicn was supplied by W oo l w i c h Dockyard, and the ex pense of ironwork and labour, including the carriage, exceeds 5001., and with the timber the total expense of raising the statue will exceed 9001. Admiral Byham Martin, Vice Admiral Matso n , C ommo d ore Wi ll i am Henry Sheriff, late Captain Superintendent of Chatham Dockyard, and a number of naval and military officers, visited the statue since it has been placed on the top of the arch, and expressed their entire approbation of the way in which the whole of the arrangements were made and carried into execution. EXTENSION AND COMPLETION OF THE OVERLAND ROUTE TO INDIA, AND THE WHOLE EASTERN ARCHI PELAGO.—We believe that we can safely affirm that the East India Company have given their sanction to a line of railway across the southern continent of India, with the view of facilitating our intercourse with the East, with China, and with our Australian possessions. The forthcoming report of Mr. Simms suggests the necessity of intersecting the presidencies of Madras and Bombay by a line of railway, and thus bringing within a month or six weeks journey to England the most distant pos sessions in the southern hemisphere. If this project be carried out, it will change the commerce of the whole world, and consolidate our vast and scattered fragments of empire into something like a tangible whole. To reach China in one month, Australia in six weeks, and to traverse the Mediterranean, the Indian Ocean, and the vast sweep of waters in the southern hemisphere in the same space of tim e , may tru l y b e sa id to b e a grand and gigantic scheme. THE --- HE IRON TRADE.—BIRMINGHAM, SATURDAY.— In anticipation of the usual quarterly meetings about to take place, it appears that the ironmasters of South Staffordshire, have held a preparatory meeting at Dudley, and after maturely weighing every circumstance connected with the trade, particularly in reference to the anticipated demand for rails, and to the operation of the Ne w A mer i can Tariff, resolved unanimously not to advance the prices, but continue them at the ensuing quarter at the same rate as the past, viz., bars and rods, 101. per ton; hoops, 10/. 10s.; sheets (single), 11/. 10$.; and in other descriptions, in the usual proportion. The merchants and manufacturers of Blackburn engaged in the India trade met together last week to consider the effect of the East India Company's salt mo nopoly on British interests. Mr. D. G. Aylwin, of the house of Aylwin and Co., of Calcutta (author of a pamphlet on the Indian salt monopoly), and Mr. Stoc queler, honorary secretary of the salt trade in this country, attended, and made some instructive state ments on the subject in hand. Resolutions were passed, condemning the monopoly, and pledging the meeting to efforts for its removal.—Leeds Mercury. 0. London: Printed and Published by MURDO YOUNG , of ITeolgi, .
