LAW INTELLIGENCE. SECONDARIES' COURT, October 2. (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) WATSON AND ANOTHER V. STRINGER. This was an action for gocds sold. The plaintiffs are ribbon-manufacturers, &e., in the City, and the defendant is a linendraper at Hull. The amount claimed was 91. The defendant having suffered judgment to go by de• fault, it was therefore only necessary to prove the de livery of the goods as directed by the defendant. It was proved that the principal part had been delivered to the " boots" at the hotel where defendant lodged. The SECONDARY said that was sufficient delivery. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. PALACE COURT, October 2. (Before Mr. CORRIE.) SEYSELL AND ANOTHER V. HOLM. This was a summons under the Small Debts Act, and the case was adjourned until this day, for the attendance of one of the officers of the Borough Court of Requests, named Clarke, who had been summoned under the fol lowing circumstances:— Oa the summons being called on, _ _ Mr. ATKINS, who appeared for the plaintiffs, said the defendant asserted that she had paid the money to one of the officers of the Borough Court of Requests, who held an execution against her goods. He (Mr. Atkins) had seen Clarke, and had no doubt that what defendant said was correct, and that if the matter were inquired into, it would be found it had been a continual practice in those Courts to receive money, and make returns to the executions of no effects. The Learned JUDGE asked whether the High Bailiff was not answerable? and was told that the officers acted also as agents. The defendant said the officer told her she could not prove the payment to him. The Learned JUDGE said, it was a most shameful transaction, mud he would issue a summons for Clarke's appearance, and the plaintiffs ought to see that the matter was carried out. Mr. ATKINS now stated that he had served Clark e , who, however, was not in attendance ; he had sent his assistant with 255., a part of the money, and a promise to pay the remainder. The Learned JUDGE said it was a very shameful case, and if he ever heard of another like it, he would have a statement of facts drawn up and submitted to the pro per authorities. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant Judge, and a Bench of Magistrates.) ROBBERY IN AN OMNIBUS. C. ArCaskill was indicted, on Thursday, charged with having stolen seven half-crowns in an omnibus, from a lady of the name of Sorrell, on the 10th of September. Mr. Wilde defended the prisoner. It appeared from the testimony of the prosecutrix that on the day in question she had taken her seat in an om nibus with the intention of going to Poplar, and had scarcely taken her seat ere the prisoner got in. At that moment there was only an elderly lady besides themselves in the carriage. Shortly after both were seated the prisoner, addressing the other pas senger , in quired if she c o uld favour him with change for a sove reign. The reply was in the negative; whereupon he put a similar question to the prosecutrix, who made the like answer. A minute or two subsequently, however, re collecting that she had a sufficiency of silver in her pocket, she told him she should be happy to meet his wishes. She accordingly g ave him eight h a lf- crowns , w h en h e placed in her h an d in return a coin which, on examina tion, proved to be a shilling. The prosecutrix instantly called his attention to the circumstance, presuming that he had made an u n i n t ent i ona l mistake, bat was much sur prised at his taking back the shilling and giving her as its substitute one of her own half-crowns. She remon strated with him, but he instantly told the omnibus con ductor to stop the carriage, which having been done, he got out, tendering the very shilling which she had her self returned to him in payment, remarking that the lady was a friend of his, and he would pay for the two. The prosecutrix indignantly repudiated all knowledge of the man, and accused him of having robbed her. The prisoner ran off, but ere he could get beyond her reach she laid hold of his coat tail, and called for the police. The prisoner endeavoured to free himself from her clutches, but the lady was too powerful in her grasp, and retained her hold until a policeman came up, into whose care she handed him. The prisoner was ultimately con veyed to the station-house and searched, when the seven half-crowns and a sixpence were found in his hand. Upon being asked for the sovereign for which he had required the change, he said he (lid not possess one. Two policemen were engaged in the affair, and to the one he sad that he had not got any money, whilst to the other, who forced his hand open, he stated the half crowns, as well as the sixpence, to be his own. Ia the cross-examination of this witness, it was elicited that upon inquiring about the prisoner, he had ascertained that he was a highly respectable man, living in the King's-road, Chelsea. A publican of the name of Webb stated that the prisoner had borrowed a shilling of him a few minutes only before he had entered the omnibus. As many as thirty duplicates were found in the prisoner's pockets. Mr. WILDE, on behalf of the pisoner, submitted that the offence of which he was accused, especially as:proved, was not a felony. He was prepared to cite a case ex actly in point. His Lordship would find it in the 9th of Carrington and Payne, page 741, and it was under the head of " The Queen v. C. Thomas." There the pri soner was indicted for stealing a sovereign, the property of Thomas Hins. It appeared that the prosecutor and the prisoner, having entered a beer-shop, were drinking together, and that the prosecutor, who had agreed to treat the prisoner, took a sovereig n out of his pocket for the purpose of paying, and off e re it to the landlady to change, and upon her declaring her inability to do so, she placed it on the table, and the prisoner thereupon said, " I'll go and get change." The prosecutor said, "Yon won't come back with the change," to which the prisoner replied, " Never fear;" and, taking up the sovereign, left the house and did not return again. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutor that he was not aware of the last remark of the prisoner, nor at first that he had gone out wih the sovereign, but he had not offered any oppo sition to the prisoner taking it, having left the sovereign on the table after his reply to the prisoner's offer. The Learned Counsel in this case, on behalf of the prisoner, then contended, that as the taking had been with intent to get the change, any subsequent felonious intent of converting it to his own use would not constitute a trespass sufficient to render it a felony ; and that the prosecutor having parted with the legal posses sion of the sovereign, the subsequent appropriation of the money by the prisoner did not amount to larceny. Mr. Justice Coleridge observed that the passive conduct of' the prosecutor was a sufficient sanction of the taking. The Learned Counsel for the prosecutor (Mr. Huddle-- atone) submitted that the prosecutor had not divested himself of the property in the sovereign by even giving it to the prisoner for change, and that it remained his till it was actually changed. Mr. Justice Coleridge (having conferred with Mr. Baron Gurney) said, " It appeared quite clear that the prosecutor, having per mitted the sovereign to be taken away for change, could never have expected to reeeive back again the same specific coin, and he had therefore divested himself, at the time of the taking, of the entire possession of the sovereign, and consequently he thought that there was not a sufficient trespass to constitute a larceny." The prisoner was accordingly acquitted. Now, his Lordship would see that the prosecutrix, having given the eight half-crowns to the prisoner, never could have expected to have received the self-same pieces of coin again, She had, therefore, divested herself of all possession of them. It was manifest that when the lady handed over the half crowns she had not expected to receive them, but a so vereign back. Possession consequently had been given up ere there had been any appropriation by the prisoner. The Learned JUDGE said, if the judges of the superior courts had expressed an opinion in such a case that the transfer of the money was complete by the mere handing over of the half-crowns, without the sovereign having been given to her, then the argument of the Learned Counsel might carry some weight with it. It was quite clear to him that the lady had parted with the balf crowns upon the faith that she was to receive a sovereign in return for them. In his opinion there was no complete transfer of ownership in the half-crowns, because the sovereign had not been given in exzhange. Mr. PAYNE, as amicus curi(z, remarked that that was the customary principle. In the case of " the Queen v. Oliver," 2 Leach, 1,072, one man had offered to give another gold for notes. The prosecutor placed the notes on the table for the purpose of their being changed for gold. The defendant took them up and ran away. There the court held that the act was larceny, and the jury thereupon found that the defendant had the animus furandi at the moment when the act was committed. Then, again, in the case of a man named Williams, re ported 6 Carrington and Payne, 370, the man went into a shop and asked for change for half-a-crown. The shopman gave him 2s. 6d. The prisoner did not give the half-crown, but took up the 2s. 6d. and ran away. The Court held that the offence committed was a larceny. The Learned JUDGE was quite clear upon that point, but us there appeared to have been two opposite decisions acevmding to the view of the Learned Counsel for the prisoner, he would ask the opinion of the judges, for the purpose of removing all doubt in future. A number of witnesses of the greatest respectability gave the prisoner the highest character. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned JUDGE ordered that the prisoner should be brought up for judgment upon another occasion. LONDON MECHANICS' INSTITUTE, SOUTHAMPTON NIIILDINGS.—Thursday evening a special general meeting of mitub.vs was held in the Theatre o f the Mechanics' In stitute, to receive the report of the building committee respecting the late alterations that have been mite() in the hair/ling', Mr. Val'entilie having b een called to ' the chair, Mr. Wood read the report, which stated that an enlarged reading-room had been constructed.

On Thursday Edward Evans, a draper's assistant out of place, was brought before Sir W. Magnay, charged with obtaining goods by false pretences from various wholesale houses. Mr. Stillwell, of White Lion-street, Norton-folgate, stated that on the sth of September the prisoner came in and asked for a piece of crimson damask. A piece was shown to him, and he approved of the quality. The prisoner had been in the habit of coming for goods from Messrs. Miles and Edwards (now Hindley and Sons), in Oxford•street, and witness was about to make out the invoice to them, when the prisoner observed he had left them, and was at Gillow's, in Oxford-street. Witness made out the invoice accordingly, and delivered it with the goods to the prisoner. On the following Tuesday he came again, and said he wanted another piece of the same sort. Mr. Meteyard (one of the firm of Gillow and Co.), liked it very much, and was going to send this piece to a lady in South Audley-street. The value of the two pieces was upwards of 401. Aaron Burgess, in the service of Mr. Grimolt, of Milk street, silk manufacturer, deposed to the prisoner having obtained a rich piece of tabaret from him on the 26th of August, pretending he had been sent from Messrs. Saunders, in Regent -street. He delivered it, having known the prisoner in the trade for six or seven years past. There were some other cases, and the pawnbrokers produced the goods. Packman, one of the City detective officers, stated, that some of the property discovered had not yet been owned. Ten duplicates were found at the prisoner's lodging, and one of them related to a piece of very wide window line, containing about forty yards, pledged on the 19th of September; and another to about eighty yards of purple silk, pledged on the 21st of August. it seemed to be the practice of the prisoner to pledge the goods on the same day he obtained them. The owners of these had not been discovered. Lewis Harris, assistant to Mr. Walter, a pawnbroker, in Goswell-street, with whom the tabaret was pledged, said, when he questioned the prisoner about his name, he pulled out his pocket-book and tore out a leaf on which he wrote it. William Goodeve, the City policeman who had the prisoner in custody, produced the pocket-book he found on the prisoner. The leaf for the 34th week was want ing, and that produced by the pawnbroker corresponded exactly in the part where it was torn. Sir W. MAGNALY said, he had heard quite enough to warrant the remanding of the prisoner. The prisoner was remanded for a week. The young woman, Maria Pratt, who was remanded from Monday last, upon a charge of stealing several silver spoons, and a valuable ring, the property of Mr. Burls, of New Bridge-street, Blackfriars, under circum stances of marked ingratitude, was yesterday morning again brought before Alderman Sir Wm. Magnay, when additional evidence as to her being seen in possessicn of the property, and having pawned it, was produced, and she was fully committed. BOW-STREET. John Poliski, a foreigner, was charged with stealing a hat, pocket handkerchief, and pair of gloves, the pro perty of James Gibbon. The complainant said, that on Wednesday evening he attended a meeting of freemansons at the Freemasons' Tavern. The prisoner was there as interpreter to a person who could not speak English. They were to gether in the ante•room, and complainant was in the board-room. Wishing to speak to a gentleman who was in the ante-room, witness left his hat, gloves, and a handkerchief in the board-room, and went to his friend. When he had been in conversation with his friend for about ten minutes, the waiter came up to him with an old hat, not his own, and an umbrella, and said, " These are yours, sir?" He said they were not his; but the waiter replied that that was the only hat in the room. It being observed that the prisoner had left the room without his friend, which was unusual, he was pursued by the waiter and o►ertaken, and the hat was found upon him. The gloves and handkerchief were not found. The prisoner, in broken English, said that he took the hat by mistake. The waiter said the prisoner had no right to go into the board-room at all. lie had been at the tavern with the person for whom he acted as interpreter several times before, and they always went away together. The prisoner was committed fur trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. _ _ Robert Long Andrews, a young man, was summoned by Fanny Andrews, his wife, for ill-treatment. The wife said she had been married not more than two months, and ever since she had had bitter reason to repent her choice. She had only been married eight or ten days when her husband began to ill-treat her. Being of a lively disposition, and fond of laughing, her husband, whenever she laughed, beat her about the face. If she attempted to joke or play with him he turned upon her in a savage mood, and repulsed and struck her. Ho had pledged all her clothes, and, in addition, frequently kept her without food. On Saturday last he seized her by the hair of the head, and knocked her head against the wall, merely because she pulled his hair playfully as he was lying on the sofa. The husband, in reply to the charge, said, in a surly tone, that his wife wouldn't l e t hi m alone. He wanted to lie on the sofa to read a good book, as he was a Me thodist, but his wife would not let him alone, but kept on teasing him by pulling his hair. The wife said that her husband could be frolicsome with other girls when they called, without treating them in the same savage way as he treated her. A woman was called, who 3 said she :had often wit nessed the husband's ill-usage of hisyoung wife. The wife was of a lively temper, and naturally thought she could joke with her husband, but whenever she did so her hus band was sure to beat her. The wife was frequently left without proper food. The wile's mother came forward, and said her daugh ter had married against her parents' consent. The hus band had taken the girl away from a good home, and had put her into a shabby lodging, where there were few comforts, and where she was frequently without more than one meal a day. The girl had a good stock of clothes when she left her home, but now all her clothes were pledged by her husband, even to her flannel petticoat. " A pretty sort of a man he must be," con tinued ttie mother, warmly, " to pledge his wife's flannel petticoat. But it's just as I foresaw. I told my poor girl, before she was married, that I was sure Robert would beat her; but she said she was fond of Robert, and she knew he would treat her kindly. My girl is of a very lively temper, and when she used to be playing about and joking at home her husband used to say that he liked lively girls. Why, I've been married twenty four years, and I often play and joke with my husband and pull his hair, but I don't expect to be beaten for that."—(Laughter.) Mr. Ilannwicx asked the young woman what she wished to do? The wife said she wished to part from her husband, provided he would allow her a trifle out of his earnings towards her support. Mr. HARDWICK—What will you allow your wife ? Husband—Shan't allow her a halfpenny. Mr. IlanowicK —Your wife says she cannot endure any longer your brutal and unmanly treatment, and that, therefore, she must separate from you. I think she has reason fur her resolution, and I am of opinion that you ought to make her the required allowance. Husband—Shan't allow her a farthing. Mr. ll.tunwicK—Then I fine you 51., or, in default of payment, two months' imprisonment. CL E' KEN WE LL. A well-known thief named William Smith, alias Junes, was charged with stealing a roll of flannel, containing 38 yards, from the shop of Miss Emily Saggate, Islington terrace. It appeared that the prisoner was seen, in company with another man, lurking about the premises for a con siderable time, and at length, during the momentary absence of the person in the shop, the prisoner's compa nions walked in and took away the roll of flannel, with which he got clear off. Mr. Broughton committed him for trial. MA RYL EB ONE. Thomas Dell, a cab-driver, was charged with leaving his cab unattended ; als3 with being drunk and assault ing politic-constable Handley, 121 S. The case was first brought before the magistrate a few days ago, and it was then adjourned in order that time should be afforded fur producing witnesses on the part of the defendant. Numerous cases have of late been dismissed by magistrates at the various metropolitan police-courts, upon the evidence given by policemen, and it will be seen from the subjoined statement that another ease of perjury has been committed, in order to ensure, if possible, a conviction. Mr. Davies, solicitor, Princes-street, Leicester-square, attended for the defendant. Handley's evidence was to the effect that on the 24th ult., at half-past nine in the evening, he saw a cab stand ing by the Jolly Gardeners, Crescent -street, Euston square, unattended, and he therefore laid hold of the horse with the view of taking the vehicle away, when defendant came up and struck him violently with his badge. Ile was very drunk, and witness conveyed him to the station-house. In his cross-examination by Mr. Davies, witness ad mitted that it was 11 o'clock when he took defendant in charge. Another constable and sergeant were called, both of whom deposed to the prisoner being the worse fur drink. Mr. Forrest, an anatomical artist, residing at 33, Southampton-street, Euston-square, stated that he got into the cab in Drummond -street, accompanied by a friend, and desired to be driven to Long-acre ; on the way he and his friend alighted at the Jo — lly Gardeners, Crescent-street, and while they were partaking of some reit-, shment at tile bar, his (witness's) attention was at tracted by a noise near the door. He went out, and saw the policeman taking fast hold of the reins of the horse's head; the defendant, who had been taken into custody, (lid not inflict any blow whatever upon the officer, but the latter shook him, without any occasion fur so doing, in a most violent and unwarrantable manner. Mr. PiiiHipps corroborated :he preceding evidence, and it was quite clear from the replies which he and Mr. Forrest made to questions put to them, that the cabman was perfectly sober; he had taken up a fare at Steven's Hotel, and had nut set his party down at the railway station more than five minutes when he was engaged by Mr. Furrest. Mr. Davis, .adaressing the magistrate, said, that from the evidence brought forward, he thought that enough had been stated to justify a dismissal of the police-con stables charge. Mr. Loxa expressed an opinion, after the evidence which he had heard, that the defendant was not drunk, as stated by the officers, and he (defendant) was there fore discharged. John Jones, a well-dressed young man, was placed at the bar, charged with having indecently exposed himself to a young woman, named Mary Eyles, servant to Mr. Price, Gloucester Cottage, Upper Albany-street, Regent's Park. The short facts of the case are these:—Com plainant was watering some flowers at the kitchen window on the previous evoning, when the. prisoner came up to the front of the bouse, and there committed the offence imputed to him. She communicated what had taken place to her master, who pursued the prisoner, and, after a hard run, succeeded in collaring him. He was given into the custody of 292 S, and on the way to the station-house, he said he went to the place for a particular purpose, and he had no intention of insulting any one. The prisoner denied the charge imputed to him, and said that, having just left an adjacent mews, he was ad justing his dress, and, having done so, was going away, when Mr. Price laid hold of him. He was quite inno cent of the offence alleged against him. The MAGISTRATE, after putting one or two further questions to the witnesses, came to the conclusion that the charge had been satisfactorily substantiated, and sentenced the prisoner to three months, with hard la• bour, in the House of Correction. WORSHIP-STREET. Thomas Plummer, described as a bedstead maker, was placed at the bar before Mr. Binghhm, charged with as saulting and wounding a poor woman named Mary Red ford, who appeared in Court with one of her eyes en tirely closed and bore numerous other evidences of most brutal usage. The complainant stated, that after struggling for a long time, procuring a precarious subsistence by needle work, and enduring the greatest privation, she was at length induced to accept the prisoner's overtures and place herself under his protection, but had ever since been subjected by him to a continued series of privation, cruelty, and ill-treatment. On the preceding afternoon he returned home in a state of partial intoxication, and not finding a hot dinner provided for him, although he had not left her the means of procuring it, assailed her with the foulest epithets, and seizing a poker, struck her such a violent blow on the back of her head with it that she instantly fell to the ground stunned and in. sensible. On recovering her feet the prisoner again at tacked her, beating her about the head with his fists, closing up one of her eyes as the magistrate then saw her, a second time felled her to the ground, and re peatedly kicked her with such violence that nearly the whole of her person was covered with bruises. Her screams at length attracted the attention of some of the lodgers in the house, who rescued her from further ill usage, and carried her up to bed, in which sho remained for several hours unable to move, but at last succeeded in making her way down stairs to the street-door, where she waited until a policeman came up, into whose cus tody the prisoner was given. In answer to the charge the prisoner said that he ac knowledged having struck the woman with the poker in the manner she had described, but declared that he had acted under feelings of the strongest provocation, induced by the exciting language she had used towards him. Mr. BrNGHAM characterised the case as one of the worst of its kind that had ever come under his notice, and, regretting his inability to subject the accused to a greater punishment, ordered him to pay the highest amount of penalty it was in his power to impose— namely, M., and in default of so doing he must stand committed to the House of Correction for two months, with hard labour. The prisoner was unable to pay the fine, and at the close of the Court was removed to gaol in the van. Fredrick Lewis wai charged with having committed an aggravated assault upon a young woman named Catherine By field. Complainant said that about eight o'clock on Thurs day evening she was proceeding along the Hampstead road with an infant in her arms, when the defendant ran against her, and on her expostulating with him for not taking more heed he kicked her, and eventually knocked her down by a violent blow on the mouth. A young woman, who was accidentally passing at the time, confirmed complainant's statement in the main. The prisoner admitted the assault, but averred that complainant first struck him several blows and collected a mob about him. Mr. LONG, after commenting upon the unmanliness of the act, fined him twenty shillings. LAMBETH. William Anglis, a notorious thief and a desperate cha racter, was placed at the bar before Mr. Norton on a charge of violently assaulting and attempting to rob Mr. Robert Calton,", a toy•manufacturer, residing in Kennington-green, on the preceding night. Mr. Calton, whose countenance — bore the most un equivocal proofs of savage violence, both his eyes beinc , blackened, his cheeks and lips much cut, and his whole face in fact presenting a swollen mass of discolouration, cuts, and contusions, deposed that he had been to the King's Arms public. house, Lower Kennington-lane, on the night before, and there met the prisoner, who claimed acquaintance with him, and said he knew him well. though he might not recollect him. He (prosecutor) was at this time a little the worse for drink, but still knew very well what he was about, and prisoner and himself left the King's Arms together and went to the Black Prince, in Princes-road, Kennington. They left about half-past twelve, and the prisoner would insist upon seeing him home from the Black Prince. When they had got near to his (prosecutor's) house the prisoner said he should go part of the way home with him; but he refused to do so, upon which he struck him three or four desperate blows on the.face, and knocked him down. The instant he fell the prisoner knelt on his ehest and tried his utmost to force open his coat, and get at his watch, which was in his right-hand waistcoat pocket, but he held it tight and called out " Murder" as loud as he could holloa, when fortunately a constable came up and :took the prisoner off him. He then got up and found that his watchguard was broken, though It had been perfect just before the prisoner's attack. The prosecutor further stated that before he got opposite to his own house he found the prisoner pressing closely upon him, and he in consequence buttoned up his coat, bnt the prisoner unbuttoned it. He buttoned it up a second time, and had not proceeded many paces further when the prisoner, as he had before stated, struck him. The two black eyes, the cut lips, and the several other cuts and bruises on his face, were all the effects of the prisoner's violence. Mr. Thomas Henry Evans, the landlord of the Black Prince public-house, in Princes-read, Kennington, de posed that the prosecutor and prisoner came into his house together on the preceding night, at about a quarter-past 12 o'clock, and appeared to be excellent friends, and drank together. They remained at his house about a quarter of an hour, and while there the prisoner kept drawing out a watch from his pocket, which he partly displayed to the prosecutor, and said once or twice he had that to fall back upon if he should be out of work. Police-constable Samuel Clerk, 14 L, said that about a quarter before one o'clock that morning he heard a cry of " Murder," and on running to the spot whence it proceeded, he saw the prisoner rise from off the prose cutor, who was calling " Murder." The prosecutor in stantly gave charge of the prisoner for assaulting and attempting to rob him of his watch. The prisoner re plied, " What me ? I only came to see you home." And the prosecutor said, " Yes, you vagabond ! and to rob me." The prosecutor, who was intoxicated, was bleeding profusely from the face, and the prisoner had also evidently been drinking, but pretended to be worse for liquor than he really was. On searching the pri soner at the station-house he found upon his person, with some other things, a " sham" watch, which he then produced. He also found, where the prosecutor had been knocked down, a watch key belonging to Mr. Calton, and which had been torn away from the watch guard chain. This witness added that the prosecutor was to severely cut and bruised that it was found neces sary to send for a surgeon to attend him at the station house. Charles Burgess Goff, a police -sergeant, 9 L, said he was present at the Surrey Assizes, Kingston, in March, 1845, and heard the prisoner convicted of stealing a copper, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment. The prisoner had also bon frequently in custody for other charges, and when the present case was dis posed of, he (Sergeant Goff) should request his wor ship to order his being brought up on a future day, as he had no doubt, from information which had reached him, that he was concerned in a daring burglary a few nights ago, and of being able to establish that charge against him. — The prisoner, in reply to the charge of assault and attempted rubbery, said he did not intend to rob the pro secutor, and that he should nut have assaulted him had he not been drinking, He was fully committed on the charge, but ordered to be brought up again on that day week to meet the charge of burglary. DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE ABERDEEN RAIL WAY.—About eight o'clock on the morning of Monday last, a fearful accident occurred on the viaduct now build ing of the Aberdeen Railway, leading from the terminus to the suspension-bridge across the river Dee, whereby the lives of seven of the workmen were sacrificed, to gether with four others, who were conveyed in a man gled state to the infirmary, without hopes of recovery. The excitement here is very great, and various rumours have been afloat as to the cause of the accident. Mr. Gibb, the resident engineer, was on the spot with the di rectors as soon:after as possible,and everything was done to:alleviate the distress occasioned to the relatives of the unfortunate sufferers, one of whom has left a family of nine children. Mr. Cubitt, the engineer, had only one from the town a few hours before th e acc id ent, and an express was sent to recal him, with a view of ascertain ing the cause of the accident, which it would be prema ture to surmise until Mr. Cubitt's report shall be made LOSS OF A FRENCH SHIP ON THE GOODWIN SANDS. —During the violent squalls on Tuesday a shipwreck took place on the Goodwin Sands, which, but for the prompt assistance rendered by the Deal boatmen, would hare resulted with melancholy loss of human life. In the early part of the day a large ship was observed in the Downs endeavouring to beat down Channel, bat was forced back by the westerly winds, and at about four o'clook she was discovered to have struck on the Good win, within a short distance of the south sand head light. and u.t the same time the sea was breaking over her. On the alarm being given at D.-al, several boats pushed oft galiuntly to the aid of the helpless crew, whom they suc ceeded in rescuing. The vessel proved to be the Antonio, Captak , Rogcric, from Gottenburg, bound io Granville (about 400 tons burden), with a cargo of timber, planks, and iron. Subsequently attempts were made to get the ship (Alf, but it was found impossible, and in the course of the right she became a complete wreck. The ship and cargo, we understand, were insured to the extent of 3.400/.

The present week's arrivals of English Wheat have been but moderate, and the show of samples of that grain here was small. The accounts respecting the potato cop being still unfavourable, the demand was steady, and in some instances selected parcels produced a trifle more money, the value of other qualities being firmly supported. Foreign Wheat, free as well as in bond. moved off readily at an advance in the quotations of quite is per quarter. The show of Barley was by no means large. Most kind were in good request at very full prices. The quantity of Malt on show wasnot large, yet no advance took place in the quotations. Fine parcels of Oats were in good request, at a further advance in the currencies of 6d per quarter. The middling and inferior kinds were quite as dear.

" How we should live—what eat, what drink, what shun, To reach in health full threescore years andt en," These interesting little volumes, although bearing upon subjects of very delicate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea surable and general utility, fer they tell of matters everyliving emir ture able to understani ought to know, but which information it these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount. In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths nature, of human disappointments and their ways of relief, it is not contended that every reader shall become his or her own physicion any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that We should know the simple principles of our own organization, the laivi whereby our existence and the issue thereof in their several healthy states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our individual capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely. By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted , health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness within the attainment of all ; by the availment hereof in fuming our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offsprik4 to follow, and finally by the cultivation Df our faculties, which is IP' consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body alai be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the aighest of God's creations. The author's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.

REWARDS FOR STAR Dunmow Agri cultural Society have been giving away what they call "rewards for virtue." We,think them rewards for the peacefulness of hunger. For instance;—" To the widow' of a labourer in husbandry who had brought up the largest family with the least parochial relief, was de voted a scarlet cloak; and to the second in degree was presented a wash-tub and clothes basket" Thus it is something to see, through the vista of long years of po verty and privation, the promised glory of a scarlet cloak! A capital plan, too, on the part of the society, toa serve hunger like a whale, and " throw a tub" to it.. " To the married couple, the labourer and wife, who had brought up the greatest number of children with little or no parochial relief, was given, not a Bitch of bacon, as was formerly the case, b u t a gammon thereof. " We think the " gammon" peculiarly significant. It offers, too, a delicious illustration of the charity of the Dunmow So ciety, for truly these rewards are gammon—all gammon —and nothing but gammon. —punch.
