The object of this Company is to give to the pubic, in its inter- Course with the North of Europe, the full benefit of the improved sYstern of transit for mails, passengers, and goo . s, which the great speed and combined arrangement of the railway system now render practicable. An immediate eaten-lon of exis'ing means of transit is necessary to meet the large and in,reasing importation of cattle, fruit, and all agricultural products, from the North of Europe, to supply the vast consumption of the central and manufacturing districts of England ; While the great and increasing export trade in manufactured goods and materials from these districts, which are sent down by railway to the coast, requires the same improved facilities for its transport across the North Sea. To meet these demands, it is intended to combine and establish a rapid and more frequent communization between London, Manches ter, Liverpool, and all the principal parts.ol England, and the princi pal ports and cities of the north of Europe, by means of express Oteame's running in comiexion with express trains. The ports on the east coast of England, to and from which the Company's steamers will, in the first iastance, arrive and depart, are Harwich, Lowestoft, and Great Grimsby. The two former situate near the entrance of the Thames, and on the extreme eastern coast of Great Britain, and in direct ccinmunicetion, by railways, with London and all the south and east parts of England, the latter more conveniently situate for Manchester, Sheffield, Liverpool, and all places in the north and west.

The prominence given to the name of Baron Liebig in pla - ards and advertisements will have created the impression that he coveted a celebrity inconsistent with the dignity of his station in the scientific word. Having learned that he had attained such undesirable no toriety, Baron Liebig has requested the publication of the following letter, with the view of inrorming the public of the motives which dictated his communication td Mr. Allsopp :. " The question of adulteration by strychnine, which has been taken up seriously in England, seemed to me of great importance, and I thought to do some good by a ding to demonstrate the error. If I wished to associate with any individual brewery my remarks on the alleged adulteration of bitter beer with strychnine, it would have been only natural to hive mentioned ano her brewery, In which alone, and not in Mr. Allsopp's, I was engaged In investigating the Burton mode of brewing : and it was also in that brewery, and not in Mr. Allsopp's, that the Bavarian brewers acquired all the instruc tion they obtained at Burton. The admiration I expressed of this beverage in my letter to Mr. Allsopp is advertised in such a manner as to lead to the inference that my praise was exclusively confined to Mr. Allsopp's beer; this was not the case, my remarks referred to that class of beer. _ "JUSTUS LIEBIG.

NISI EMUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) ROBINSON V. HEATON AND ANOTH ER. This was an action for libel, ' to which the de fendant pleaded Not Guilty, and, as to part, a justi • ' - fication. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Segar appeared f or the plaintiff; and Mr. Watson, Q.C., M r . cowling, and Mr. Mon k for the def endants. It appeared that the plaintiff, in 1850, was appointed snrveyer for the town of Clitheroe underthe of Towns Act, and also acted a s • inspector of nui sances for the borough, and collector of rates, at a salary of 150 /. To p a y his salar y a rate of 4 d. in the pound was imposed, to pay which there was a great repugnance on the part of many of the ratepayers, it being contended by them that the Health of Towns Act was impracticable as regarded Clitheroe. The rate was also appealed against, and in consequence the plaintiff could not obtain his salary. These pro. t he led to parish meetings, at which there were hot debates, those on one side being called " Minis terialists," those on the other " the Opposition." At one of these meetings it was proposed, as a means of getting ridef the rate altogether, that the plaintiff be dismissd from his office forthwith:' The de fendant, Mr. Heaton, a pawnbroker, professed to give at account or report of this meeting, which was printed in large placards and hung about the town, an d in this placard the plaintiff's efficiency as a surveyor was called in question, and terms such as " Water Pipes " and " Water Ousel " were a pplied to him, calculated to bring him into public ridicule and contempt. The libel com plained of was also published in a publication called The Ratepayers' Advocate and Protector. This was published by the other defendant, Whewell, and pro pu fessed to contain areporkof the parish meeting alluded to, furnished by the defendant Heaton. In that report among other things, the defendant Heaton said of the plaintiff, " As to his engineering qualities, he does not know the difference between a verge and a lever watch; and then went on to say that he had failed in a l an e, called Waddington-lan e , fro m preventing There was then a great deal of local being flooded. matter throwing discredit upon the plaintiff. For the defendants it was contended by the Learned Counsel that the speech published did not amount to a libel. Clitheroe was described to be divided into two parties, three-fourths of the town being opposed to putting in force the Health of Towns Act, and that, in the heat of party strife occasioned thereby, the defendants had a right to comment on the con duct of the public officer of the Board of Health. His LORDSHIP having summed up, The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages, 40s. HALLSWORTII V. LIVESEY. This was an action for a breach of promise of mar riage, to which the defendant pleaded non assumpsit. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Jones appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Overend for the defendant. The plaintiff, who was 22 years of age, resides with her mother at Blackburn, and about four years ago, on a trip to Blackp ool, became ac q uainted w ith the defendant, who eventually proposed marriage to her, telling her mother he was going to set up a shop in the grocery line, and, if it succeeded, he would marry her daughter. The plaintiff received him afterwards as an accepted suitor, repairing his shirts and acting as his intended wife. Suddenly, in January last, the defendant ceased his attentions to the plaintiff, and in March last he married the daughter of a licensed victualler of some property. The pre sent anion was in consequence brought. Mr. OVEREND, for the defendant, contendedthat the the plaintiff bad not suffered any damage in her po sition by the change which had taken place in the defendant's intentionst d h er, owar 3 as the defendant was only a mechanic, earning 245. a week.

RAPE AT BURDTLEY.—S HOCKING BRUTALITY. — John Pollard, aged 40, John Crooke, aged 21, and James Booth, aged 23, were charged with having, on the 22d of May last, committed a rape upon the per son of Susannah Stewart, at Burnley. Mr. Thompson and Mr. Page prosecuted; and Mr. James, Q.C., defended Crooke; Mr. Monk, Pollard ; and Mr. Legar, Booth. Susannah Stewart stated that she had been a widow for the last seven years, her husband having been a soldier. She was the mother of nine children, and had lived at Newcastle-on-Tyne till about 18 months ago. On Friday, the 2lst May, she went to Burnley in a state of destitution, and on applying for relief she was refused. On the following day she went in search of lodgings, but could find none. She went after wards to a beerbouse to look after a Scotchwoman. The Scotchwoman was not there, but there was a man seated there drinking who heard what she had to say, and gave her a glass of beer. He heard her tell the landlady she wanted to see the Scotch woman, to see if she could procure lodgings for her, and he observed at the time that he could find her lodgings. Thinking that he was laughing at her, she left the house, followed by the man, who re peated that if she went with him he would find her lodgings. She said she was afraid, and he said she need not be. He took her up a dark and lonesome lane, and she said to him, " I hope you are not taking me astray, I would much sooner turn back." He re plied, "No; don't be afraid, come on; you'll soon see the house I'm taking you to." She then went a little further with him, when he suddenly took her by the arms and threw her on the ground. As soon as she was on the ground she was surrounded by a number of other men ; but she could identify none of them. It was quite dark at the time. She screamed " Murder," and found that her legs and shoulders were held by some of the other men. Her clothes were torn off her. (Witness here described the par ticulars of a rape committed upon her by five persons in succession.) The witness was cross-examined at considerable length, but nothing transpired to shake her testimony. Richard Mercer, joiner, of Burnley, deposed to having been going home on the morning of the 23d May, at about a quarter past twelve o'clock. He saw a man and woman go through the lime kiln gate, and four or five men following. After reaching home he was alarmed by loud screams of " Murder," and went to the stone yard, from whence they seemed to issue, where he saw six or seven men on the ground. He did not see a woman, but he heard a woman's voice Bay, " Don't take advantage of a poor Scotchwoman, the mother of nine children." He procured assist ance, and going to the spot afterwards found Pollard in custody, and the prosecutrix lying on the bank of the canal, much exhausted and stripped nearly naked. James Crooke and Thomas Smith deposed to hav ing heard the prosecutrix's screams of murder, and on going to the spot they found a number of men sur rounding her. Pollard was laid upon the ground be side her, with his arm around her neck, and Crooke and Booth were present. Mr. George Smithwaite, surgeon, spoke to having examined the prosecutrix shortly after the commis sion of the felonious assault upon her, and to the in juries she had sustained. She was much bruised and was in a state of great debility. Moulding Walmsley, a police -constable at Burn ley, said he went to the spot on the morning of the 23d of May, in consequence of information received. He heard the cries of a woman, apparently much ex hausted, and looking over a wall he saw six or seve n men, two of them k nee li ng down near the p l a ce , i where he afterwards found the prosecutrix. i over the wall, and shortly afterwards saw tb_e d. fig u n r e e of a man, apparently rising from the gr.orthe pri took the man in custody, and it proved to R_ assault _ soner Pollard.

The jury, after a short consultation, found Pollard Guilty, and Acquitted the other two prisoners. His LORDSHIP, in sentencing Pollard to 15 years' transportation, said that in the annals of crime a more atrocious case of rape than this had never been proved. It had bee❑ attended by circumstances of brutality that were quite appalling, and it was marvellous that any person wearing the human form could conour in such an abominable outrage. The case occupied the attention of the Court for eight hours. SOUTH WALES ClRCUlT.—Chester, Au g 10. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr.JusticeCaomp:rox.) The Learned Judge took his seat upon the bench shortly before nine o'clock, and was occupied nearly the whole of the day in trying cases which were unfit for publication. NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice TALFOURD.) FORD, CLERK, V. WILBRAHAM. The plaintiff in this case was the Rev. Frederick Ford, a minister of the Established Church, and rec tor of St. Peter's Church, Chester, and the defendant Was Mr. Ra n dl e Wilb ra h am , jun., the registered pro prietor of the Chester Courant, a Conservative news paper published in this city. The action was brought to recover compensation in damages for an alleged libel on the plaintiff, which appeared in the defendant's paper during the late election for the city. The damages were laid at 5001. The libel consi d sted o t fa letter which appeared in 6 editorial observati ons on such e C o u rant, i and certain same paper, which the pl a i n tiff letter n a d lleged were defamatory and libellous.

He said th a t th e n compelled plaintiff in thi s case h ad bee palled to com e i n t o that court to se e k reparation foa series o f open libellous publication s aga i nst his public conduct, which appeared in the columns of th e newspaper Chester Cou ran t new the of the 30th of June last, a n d of whic h defendant, Mr. Wilbraham, wa s the p roprietor. But, while he said that the plaintiff had been compellednnithto come into court to vindicate his chara c t er attacks which had been made upon it, the vindi ca ti on of his character was his sole object, and he had no desire whatever to put money into his pocket in the shape of damages. On the contrary, he had from the first been willing to be satisfied with the payment of the expenses already incurred, provided the defendant would have apologised in the newspaper for the libels complained of ; but this the defendant refused to ac cede to. The Learned Counsel having referred to the plaintiff as a clergyman resident in Chester, and who was the rector of St. Peter's church, said they were aware that recently a contested election took place in Chester, in which two gentlemen of opposite political lopinions, the Honourable Mr. Owen Stanley, on the Liberal or anti-Ministerial principles, and Mr. Holme, a highly respectable merchant of Liverpool, as the representative of the opposite interest. The Reverend Mr. Ford, the plaintiff, as he had a per fect right to do, thought proper to support the Ho nourable Mr. Stanley, and in consequence of this the defendent had thought proper to malign his client and libel him in the Chester Courant, in the manner complained of. Now, he admitted that great latitude ought to be allowed during the excitement of a general election, but he (Mr. Welsby) insisted that, even during , the saturnalia attendant upon a contested election, the attacks which had been made upon the plaintiff were altogether unjustifiable and disgraceful to the newspaper in which they appeared, as against a clergyman who was pursuing his sacred calling in the very city in which the newspaper was published. The Learned Counsel proceeded to quote from the articles complained of, commenting upon them as he went along. The first attack he noticed was from a leading article in this newspaper, in which the plaintiff was spoken of as " a time-serving back slider," in the following choice terms : " The mention of the Rev. F. Ford naturally suggests a word of sympathy over the full of that time-serving backslider. . . . This same Frederick Ford, rector of St. Peter's, Chester, casts in his lot with the abet tors of those whom ho knows to be the enemies :of Bible education, and the adversaries of all our religious institutions; condescends to play second buffoon to Mr. Temple, for the amusement of his Unitarian al lies, by reviling an honest man and a sincere Chris tian; and in his unseemly desire to enjoy the plauditsof a crowd, whose love, forsooth, he strove to win by pro mises of plenty of ale, forgot the injunction of the Cate chism keep the tongue from evil-speaking, lying, and slandering,' while preaching from a waggon his no table discourse on two faces under one hat 1' We have no affection for blustering `Political parsons' of any class ; but, when they thus demean themselves, there is no one word in the English language sufficiently strong to mark our opinion of such surplieed agitators." The Learned Counsel having quoted from the news se paper other strictures of a severe character, main tained that the articles be had read were intemperate comments, and such as no man ought to submit to. of Mr. Evaris, Q C., addressed the jury on behalf the defendant, contending t hat the articles complained of were nothing more than electioneering squibs. No injury or damage had been sustained by the plaintiff, either as regarded his congregation or any other class of the community. •ng up, referred minutely His LORDSHIP, in summing to the different portions o f the alleged libels, remark ing that some of the observations were certainly cer . tainly very strong, especially such r emarks as a time-serving backslider," which he (the Learned Judge) should p think would not be very pleasant for either Mr. Ford or any member of his family to read. He considered that many of the re marks were not justi fiable, even taking into consideration the roved excitement not that of a contested election. It was p plaintiff had made use of any r emarks that justifi e d the articles in the newspaper. It was for the jury to say whether the articles complained of were calculated to bring the plaintiff into odium and contempt. If so, they would find a verdict in his favour, and the amount of damages would rest with themselves. He thought it would be difficult for them to say that such terms as " time-serving backslider," and " buffoon," were not calculated to bring him into contempt. The jury, after a few moments deliberation, re turned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damage s , one farthing. The award of nominal damages seemed to cause considerable astonishment in the court, whi c h vas densely crowded during the whole of the trial. The Learned Judge then proceeded to take crimi nal cases. _ _ It is believed that the trials of the Stockport rioters will come on to-morrow or Thursday. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Gloucester, Aug. 9.

Amongst the silver was . ag'4„ea or a s hilling with the letters " 5.8." marked on it. The penn y -pieces were one old and the other new. The prisoner's father lived about half-a-mile from Mrs. Gurney, and Mrs. Gurney and her niece walked with her half-way home that night at eleven o'clock, and passed a large and deep horsepond, by the side of which the cash-box was found, empty and open, on the following Monday. The prisoner that night had only a light handkerchief upon her neck. Before going home on the Saturday night, the prisoner gave Mrs. Gurney a half-sovereign in order to get change for it, but said she would call for the change in the morning, as it might be an excuse for her asking her father's leave to come back. She came back in the morning, and breakfasted with Mrs. Gurney, got the change, and went to church with her. That night, about ten o'clock, the prisoner went to the house of a man named Sier, at West Dean, with whose son she was keeping company, and complaining that she was tired, she lifted up her pocket, and said to the son, " Heft (heave up) this." He did so, and found it weighty, and said she must have some cop. pers in it, and she said, " yes." She that night gave him 21., which she got back the next day. She remained there on Monday and part of Tuesday, till she was arrested. The cash• box was not missed till between twelve and one o'clock on the Monday, when it was found near the pond, and brought to Mrs. Gurney. Suspicion was at once directed towards many persons, and at length was fixed on the prisoner. A constable, who went in seach of her, found her at Sier's house. On seeing him coming towards the door she ran to Mrs. Sier's bed-room, and quietly dropped the purse behind Mrs. Sier, who was lying in bed. The constable, however, was too sharp for her, and saw what she had done, and on telling Mrs. Sier of it and desiring her to get up, the purse was found behind the bed. On being searched upwards of 401. in sovereigns, half- sovereigns, half-crowns, and shillings, were found in her pocket, and on being asked where or how she came by them, she said they had been given to her by her father. It was proved that her father was a small collier, in a comfortable condition, who had recently bought a small allotment of land, and was about to buy some more, but the father himself was not called by the Crown or the prisoner to prove or disprove the truth of her statement. Amongst the money found upon her were the peculiar half-sovereign or half-guinea, the shilling marked with the letters " S. B." and two penny-pieces, which Mrs. Gurney believed to be the two she had lost. When she constable was taking the prisoner to the station, across the fields, she asked him to say no more than he could help respecting her attempt to conceal the money. Before the case for the prosecution bad closed, two of the jurors expressed a wish that his Lordship would prevent more evidence being given, as they were quite prepared to find her guilty. The recommended to ehnoddwe• ever, proceeded. Being convicted, but to mercy on account of her youth, she was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour. On hearing the sentence she was greatly affected, and was overheard to say that she would be better pleased to be transported for life. It is proper to add that at the late quarter-sessions for this county a pretty, interesting young girl, named Wilks, was convicted of a theft similar to the above, on the evidence of the prisoner. On leaving the ser vice of Mrs. Gurney, Jordan went into that of a Mrs. Sleed, the widow of a clergyman residing at Glouces ter, who soon after began to miss money; and one evening coming home unexpectedly, found the young man Sier in the house, and ordered both servants at once to leave, but before they left, finding her escre toire forced open, and twenty sovereigns taken out, sent for the police and instituted a search. As the search proceeded, Jordan suggested that they should search W ilks's b ox an d room, and on the search ma de,being the hextheatnwdentthe w twenty so a v l e r. reigns were found betwe en Wilks was thereupon taken into custody, Jordantodyand was committed for trial by the magistrat the chief witness against her, and stated so many and such important facts against her that when she came to be tried at the quarter-sessions, her friends thought her guilt so clear and her case so hopeless, that they advised her to plead guilty, but this she obstinately refused to do, making the most solemn protestations of her innocence. The case was called on. Jordan ap peared as a witness against her, and repeated her former statement with such skill and cleverness, that notwithstandin g there were many circumstances of upicionconnecte d gu w i i l t ty h , t a h n e d ca s s h e e fworasthe sentencedprosecution, t o a suspicion jury found her year's imprisonment with hard labour. Those who heard the two trials entertain great doubts whether in WTilks's case the jury did not come to an erroneous conclusion. William Giles was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury committed at Cheltenham on the l 4th of April last. Mr. Gray conducted the prosecution ; Mr. Cooke defended the prisoner. The perjury was alleged to have been committed in an affidavit made by the prisoner in a case of p age v. Caustins," an action for adultery, on a motion for a new trial. In order to show that after the fact of the adultery had come to the knowledge of the plaintiff he condoned or forgave it, the prisoner swore that on the subsequent day—viz. ' the 9th of October, 18 50, he saw the plaintiff and his wife together at the Saluta tion Inn, Cheltenham. The plaintiff himself, and two other witnesses swore, that on that day the plaintiff went at an early hour from his house, at Cheltenham, by the train, through Jessop's nursery grounds, t o London, and that from the time he left his house till he reached the station she was not with him, and had not been in his house for some weeks. It was elicited in cross-examination that the plaintiff and his wife were seen together at the Paddington station on the 11th. - - For the defence it was contended that it was pos sible that the prisoner might have seen them near the Salutation, and that that was what he meant by say ing he saw them at it. The jury, after considering for twenty minutes, asked what was the shortest distance from the Salu tation Inn to the nearest part of the way which led from the plaintiff's house through Jessop's garden to the railway station, and on being told it was 100 yards they expressed a wish to withdraw. After an absence of half an hour they returned with a verdict of Guilty. Sentence, one year's imprisonment, with hard labour. WESTERN CIRCUI7'.--_—_Wells, Aug. 9. CROW TN COURT.—(Before Mr. BaronPLATT.) Thomas Boarne, surgeon of Radstock, was indicted for the manslaughter of Ann Noakes. Ann Noakes, the woman whose death the prisoner was accused of causing, was the wife of a man in humble circumstances, a miner living at Strascombe. She was about 43 years of age. She had been mar ried several years, and had no fewer than eleven children. On the 20th of June last her confinement was approaching, and about half-past three or four in the afternoon she was taken in labour. Some fe male neighbours were called in, and on examination it was found that a "false presentation" had oc curred. The prisoner, who had attended her be fore, was sent for. He endeavoured to alter the pre sentation, but in vain. About four a messenger arrived with the information that Mrs. Parker, the wife of a respectable and wealthy farmer living two miles from his house, was taken in labour, and that he must proceed to her assistance. No sooner did be hear this than the prisoner said he must go, saying that he had been bespoken by Mrs. Parker. In this e state the prisoner left her against the wishes a o n f d t i h n women about her, who protested against spite of the entreaties of the poor creatu_rieta hour. that he would stay for only a quarterseonfd for Mr. He, however, desired the parties to ~,,, was sent to er Marsh, the parish surgeon.
