laws, but from what place could not be •acertaited in the gallery. TEN HOURS' BILL. Mr. CHRISTIE presented a petition in favour of the Ten Hours' Bill. SMELTERS OF LEAD. Mr. THORNLEY presented a petition from the smelt ers of lead on the banks of the river Dee (as we under stood), praying for certain alterations in the law affect ing their trade. CORN LAWS. Mr. BANKES presented petitions from Dorchester, and a place in Dorsetshire, praying for a continuation of the laws protecting corn. ROMAN CATHOLIC LAWS. Mr. WATSON gave notice of his intention to bring in a Bill to modify the laws affecting Roman Catholics. CORN-LAWS. Mr. ESCOTT presented a petition from an indivi dual, a large landed proprietor, praying for the passing of the measures affecting the corn-laws proposed by Sir Robert Peel. EDUCATION IN WALES. Mr. WILLIAMS gave notice that on the 19th ho should move that a humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying her Majesty to direct that an inquiry should be made into the present state of education in Wales. JUVENILE OFFENDERS. Mr. LIDDELL gave notice that to-morrow he should put a question to the Right Hon. Baronet the Secretary of State for the Home Department, as to whether Govern ment intended to take any steps towards improving the condition of juvenile offenders. POOR RATES AND MEDICAL RELIEF. Mr. WODEHOUSE gave notice that he would move for a return connected with the question of poor rates and medical relief in unions. That return he was bound to say had been prepared with great care and expedition by the Poor-law Commissioners. He would wish to put two questions to the Right Hon. Bart. at the head of the Government, if he would allow him to do so. One of the questions was—whether they in tended to take into consideration the expediency of plac ing the whole sum of medical relief on the same footing? The Poor-law Commissioners had intimated that they, in the agricultural parts of the country, gave a less liberal salary to that class of officers than they did in the manufacturing districts. Now that these parts of the country were brought into unhappy collision, it seemed fit that a question of this in teresting character should be definitely settled. The other question which he would put referred to the poor rates, and local taxation generally. It had more imme diate reference to a person with whom the Right Hon. Baronet was intimately acquainted ; that gentleman had edited works in the Spanish. German, French, and Ita lian languages--(Laughter)—he meant Mr. Rowbotham. He had directed his attention in an especial manner to'the consideration oft ie several burdens which he (Mr. Wodehouse) had rel. rrs Now the question he wished to ask was, whether the Right lion. Baronet had not some time employed the , gentleman as a teacher in the minor branches of matuematics?—(Loud laughter.) Sir R. PEEL said that, in answer to the first question put to him by the Hon. Member, he had to state that her Majesty's Government, in proposing that the sala ries of medical officers should ho borne by the Treasury, felt very anxious to establish a cheque on any system of improvident expenditure under this head. He wished also that it should be a subject of annual re vision in Parliament. 'A part of it would fall upon the Consolidated Fund, and it would be partly local. The operation of that would prevent undue expenditure, and would secure better and more efficient medical attend ance. Mr. O'CONNELL gave notice that ho should call the attention of the House to-morrow to the state of disease and famine in Ireland. He was aware that there were already persons in Dublin making inquiries on all matters relating to this subject, but he wished it to come under the attention of the House. Sir J. GRAHAM said that he had received from time to time several communications from the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland on this subject. Mr. O'CONNELL asked if the Right Hon. Baronet would bring the communication under the notice of the House ? Sir J. GRAHAM said that if the Hon. Gentleman would postpone his request until to-morrow, some further information could - be given on the subject. HARBOUR, DUTIES. the imposition of death if any Catholic exercised his re ligion. It was surely time that such enactments as these were removed from the statute books of England, and therefore it was that he (Mr. Watson) did not expect that he should meet with any opposition on this subject. There was one part of the Bill to which he begged particularly to call the attention of the Right Hon. Baronet, the Member for the University of Oxford, and that was the necessity for the repeal of the severe enactments against the Roman Catholic clergy. He did not desire that any discussion should take place that evening, as a future opportunity would be given for any argument which could be brought to bear upon the subject ; but he could not help calling the Right Honourable Baronet's attention to one of these penal enactments, which imposed transportation for life upen the regular clergyman of the Roman Catholic Church who should come into this country after the passing of that particular Act of Parliament. He believed that there existed no one class of men who did more good in their avocation, and yet, if they came into that country in the discharge of their duties, they were liable to transportation. He repeated, that he thought it high time that these enactments should be removed from the statute book. It was a perfect absurdity to speak of them as a safeguard to the Church of England, and to argue that as such they should be still kept up. To these few observations he should add nothing further on the sub ject then, but simply move for leave to bring in the Bill. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that his attention had been called to this motion of the Learned Gentleman in consequence of his (Sir James Graham) being appointed chairman of the commission to which the Bill was re ferred. In consequence of what passed at the close of last session on the subject of pains and penalties not only as affected Roman Catholics themselves, but others of her Majesty's subjects also, measures were taken to remedy the evils complained of by the Hon. and Learned Gentleman. A Bill of such a nature as the Honourable Member proposed had been laid on the table of the other House of Par liament by the Lord Chancellor, and every effort had been made by Government to secure the passing of that Bill. He hoped, that in a very short time, that Bill would be on the table of the House of Commons. The measure would be fully as comprehensive as the one announced to the House last session. Sir H. H. INGLIS taid that he had determined not to speak on that subject, until after the answer of the Hon. Baronet. He rejoiced that he had done so, but only on one account. He wished that Hon. Gentlemen would leave these matters in the hands of her Majesty's Go vernment. He believed that the advice just given by the Hon. Baronet might, with reason, be given to other Members. Before he could withdraw his formal opposi tion to this Bill, he wished the House to remember that the Bill now put forward was substantially the same as the one introduced last year. It was a Bill to repeal the Act of Supremacy—to enable Roman Catholics to assume the sees of the Established Church—it was a Bill to allow processions of this sect when processions of other sects were prohibited to avoid public disturb ance, and it was a Bill to repeal the Act for the expul sion of the Jesuits. Did any Honourable Member remember that a Bill of this nature was put forward in that House on the sth of July last. His Hon. Friend had said, with regard to that Bill, that he did not oppose its going into committee, but he could not agree to all its provisions. It would be better for Hon. Members to leave these things in the hands of Government, instead of going down to that House night after night and wasting a good deal of time And, therefore, though he dal not seek that his sugges tion should be adopted, yet he believed that it would be found that the most useful mode of carrying these measures would be to suggest them first, and then leave them in the hands of the Govern ment. As far as he understood—he repeated it delibe rately—that Bill comprehended the five points which he had already related; nevertheless a Bill substantially the same was to be brought in by the head of the legal profession in this country, which he would again declare went to repeal the Act of Supremacy. Sir JAMES GRAHAM observed that it would be in the recollection of the House his having stated that if the Bill contained the same measures which the Hon. Member introduced last year, he would as a member of her Majesty's Government, oppose certain clauses in it. With respect to the Bill introduced in the other House, he would, when the proper time arrived, be prepared to defend it in all its parts, and to prove that it did not re peal the Act of Supremacy. Lord JOHN MANNERS said he would not trouble the House with many observations at present, but when the Bill was fully brought under the consideration of the House he would enter in detail into the subject of the present religious disabilities under which Roman Catholics lived —(Hear.) He might, however, for the present remark that he could not possibly conceive how the Church of England could be benefited by the main tenance of what were called its " safeguards," viz., those penalties which attached to such individuals as were not in the pale of the English Church.—(Bear, hear.) He agreed with his Honourable Friend the Member for Ox ford (Sir R. H. Inglis) that there were safeguards which the Church had a right to demand for its protection. He thought that the Church had a right to demand a perfect freedom in its efforts to extend the education of the people.—(Hear.) lie did think that the Church had a right to demand that her ancient landmarks should not be swept away, and that her bishoprics should not be interfered with.—(Hear, hear) Such demands as those he did think the Church had a right to make, but he did not think that the Church could be benefited by the maintenance of those penalties which were alien to the spirit, not only of the Church, but that of Christian charity, and which it was impossible for any Govern ment to enforce.—(Cheers.) After the accession of the present Government to power, a portion of the Irish people prayed the Legislature to put those penalties in full force against their Roman Catholic fellow country men ; but the Government was, of course, deaf to their petition ; they did not venture to do any such thing. Mr. O'CONNELL said the times were now altered, and people of the present day did not believe that it was a just thing to punish men on account of their self-de votedness to the spread of that religion which they held to be the best. He had not language sufficiently strong to reprobate the conduct of the monster who had dared to commit the barbarous outrages that had been recently perpetrated on the unoffending nuns at Minsk.—(Loud cheers.) They had no laws against deists, or even the worst form of infidelity, but men who believed in the same God and Saviour as them selves they violently persecuted.—(Hear, hear.) He rejoiced, however, in the present altered feeling of the Protestant public.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped those disa bilities which were a remnant of the iron days of oppres sion would bo no longer allowed to stain the records of the country. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that it appeared to him that the Government last year made it part of their act to relieve Roman Catholics from religious disabilities, but that many clauses of old penal acts remained un• noticed, or were disregarded by them. In certain cases they were still liable to the punishment of transportation, which was alike absurd and ridiculous.—(Hear, hear.) He (the Noble Lord) thought it was essential to have an Act passed on the subject which would have for its object the cancelling of any penal restrictions against any classes of her Majesty's subjects, at the same time he was for requiring full security to the institutions of their Church in every part of the world. He thought the subject deserved the attention of her Majesty's Go vernment. The LORD ADVOCATE moved for leave to bring in a Bill to provide for the abolition of the exclusive privileges of carrying on merchandise and of exercising trades in burghs in Scotland. Mr. RUTHERFORD considered it would be a great relief to the burghs themselves, and he would have great pleasure in supporting it.—Agreed to. The LORD ADVOCATE also moved for leave to bring in a Bill to amend the Act Ist and 2d Vic., c. 114, and to remove doubts that have arisen as to the interpre tation of certain clauses in the said Act.—Agreed to. Mr. BANKES moved for a return of all applications for the stewardship or stewardships of the Chiltern Hundred; received from any Member or Members of Parliament by the Government during the present ses sion, with the date of such application, and date of the appointment, where such applications have been com plied with. Also, a return of all applications made to Government by Members of Parliament for appoint ments to offices of the like nature with the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds, being appointments applied for with the view of vacating the seats of the appli cants, and the dates of such appointments, where the applications have been complied with. Also, a return of the particular forms of grants of the stewardship or stewardships of the Chiltern Hundreds, and of other grants of the like nature, and of the time necessarily occupied in completing the same, when such grants are made. He thought that the pro ceedings w hi c h h ad taken place wou ld mater i a ll y a ff ect the representative system. It was a question destrving of inquiry, that there should be a power of expediting or delaying the writs. He did not, however, say that there was any abuse of power in connexion with the recent applications, but he consider ed , nevertheless, that f t o h r e m i e n d qu t i b ry et s th h e o v u e ld we ta r k e e t,s p , l o ac s e e . ats But no w h e va h c a a d a be f e o n r tihne county which he had the honour to represent ; the statement, strane gto say,h he had w re r as its on fo t r o new kno elections w as true, had y andet beenyet, moved for these two v a canc i es . I t was unnecessary twas for him to observe, that a t thi s p art i cu l ar time, it important that these two vacan c i es s h ou ld b e filled up in time to enable the M em b ers t o vo t e upon the divisio ns on the question which was soon to be discussed in this House; and therefore it was a great hardship that those two seats should be vacant at that time. However, it possible s t s o i bl e vote that in t those division.t wo - Me Members co uld icdo'u notld w be as re n t o u w rn s e e d ar i c n el t y i know which way those two Members were likely to vote; but no matter at which side of the House they sat, those two seats should not have been allowed to remain so long vacant. This statement he now made without imputing blame to any one, but at the same time, he had deemed it his duty to make it.—(Hear, hear.) Ho again claimed for the public the right of having two courses in that House, and he had, for that reason, moved for the returns stated in the notice. He wished to know, as a matter of valuable information, what was the real period necessary to elapse between the application for an office of this description and its grant by the country. He also wished to say t h at i t w ould be no of bad t the e u ofovrertnhme e a n d t op w ti h o o n o g f a t v h o e s H oo o h us n e n , o ffi th at ce ,ano_yn the memberapplica tion, e .n w of aa th r e es w po r n it A tio t n p , re s a h e o n u t ld it b w e oruelsdpaopnpsieba.lre thatfor the n o p mov i ng erson • ht be delayed, and the . s e i e b e l , e, m an ig d thus the evil, withoutcoannitirtueealnebyladmeperitroedanoyf tion to the House, and hoped that t their representation. He, thereforeh,eysuwbmioultdtehdatvheissommoe further information on this subject. Mr. WILLIAMS seconded the motion. He said that any application of a Member for the Chiltern Hundreds, ae soon as it was ascertained that it came from himself, wea at 011043 granted, lie certainly did not consider it . the duty of Government to move the new writs in eases where the Member accepted the Chiltern Hundreds, because if a power of that description was allowed, it would produce much delay and mischief. Sir W. MOLESWORTH observed that it would be bettter that Members should have the privilege of re signing at pleasure. Mr. WILLIAMS considered that a Committee of that house should be instituted to inquire into the causes of the resignations which had so frequently oc curred of late. They would then see those individuals who opposed them in consequence of their liberal measures. _ Dr. BOWRING moved for a return of the Harbour Duties. He said that these returns had been ordered to be laid on the table of the House on the 16th of April last. It was found that they were very imperfect, and they were withdrawn. An order was then issued that they should be returned in a complete state on the 13th of July. Since that time nothing had been heard on the subject. He would also take that opportunity of asking a question of which he had already given notice. Had the Right Hon. Baronet received any communication from the Spanish Government notifying their intention to use any inimical measures to the commerce of Eng land, in consequence of the unfavourable position their sugar held in our tariff, and had any instruction been given to the Spanish colonies which would prevent any indirect communication between them and British vessels? Sir R. PEEL said he had received no communication from the Spanish Government indicating any intention of the kind intimated by the Hon. Gentleman; on the contrary, the tone adopted by the Spanish Government was most satisfactory. Lord JOHN RUSSELL begged that the Right Hon. Baronet would inform him whether the Government had had any further correspondence with the Spanish Go vernor on the subject of CUBA SUGAR. Sir ROBERT PEEL said that he had to state that there had been a further correspondence, which he would on a future day bring before the House, but that at the present moment there would be some inconvenience in discussing the question. Mr. W ODEHOUSE moved for a return of the amouat of money levied in the years 1813, 1824, and 1834, in the shape of poor-rates, showing the ratio it bore to the population, and distinguishing the amount levied on landed property. THE BRAZILIAN PIRATES. Mr. HUTT wished to be informed what was the intention of Government with respect to those Brazilian prisoners who had been tried and found guilty, at the last summer assizes, for a felony, in which the British Government prosecuted. It appeared from the reports that it was the opinion of some of the Judges that the question was beyond their jurisdiction. He also wished to know whether it was the intention of the Government to repeal the Act passed during the last session, in tituled " The Brazilian Felonies Act." Sir J. GRAHAM, in reply, stated that it might be as well to inform the House that there was no appeal from the Brazilian Criminal Court, and that all the Judges had met together for the purpose of deciding on the validity of the points raised on behalf of the prisoners. Should it be the opinion of the Judges that the points were such as to warrant a stay of the judgment against the prisoners, the Government intended recommending her Majesty to grant them 'a free pardon. He would, in conclusion, say, that it was not the intention of the Government at present to propose any alteration of the Act of last session. Sir ROBERT PEEL said, he was asked for the pro duction of any correspondence which was presented last year from the Brazilian Government, and he hoped the lion. Gentleman would postpone his motion to some future time. Lord Aberdeen had written to the Bra zilian Government, and negotiations were reading, which vrould result, he hoped, in a similar arrangement to that which had taken place in 1835. SIR BOBEIa PEEL'S POLICY. BONE-CRUSHING IN UNION WORKHOUSES. Mr. CHRISTIE then rose to move for copies of any papers or reports by Mr. Chadwick, Secretary to the Poor-law Commissioners, by Mr. Parker, late Assistant- Commissioner, or by any other Assistant-Commissioner, on the subject of bone-crushing in union workhouses. There could be no doubt that such papers had been pre sented to Mr. Chadwick on the subject of bone-crushing in these woi khouses, and he understood that Mr. Parker had also reported on the same matter. He trusted, therefore, that the Right Hon. Baronet would not object to lay them on the table of the house. He (Mr. Chris tie) understood that those papers were condemnatory of bone-crushing in union workhouses. Sir J. GRAHAM said that papers had been received from Mr. Chadwick on the subject referred to by the Hon. Member, but he (Sir J. Graham) was not prepared to lay such papers on the table. He hoped that the llon. Gentleman would not therefore persist in his mo tion, as it was impossible, for public reasons, to accede to it. The documents were considered confidential, and es such could not be laid upon the table. Mr. CHRISTIE said the Right Hon. Baronet had not referred to the papers by Mr. Parker—he wished to know if the same objection applied to them ? Sir J. GRAHAM said the same objection applied to these papers. In any case they would not have assisted the Hon. Member, as they related merely to statistical matters. The report by Mr. Chadwick was of a later date, and his opinion was that bone-crushing was not fitting employment for paupers. Mr. CHRISTIE said that after what had been stated by the Right Hon. Baronet, he would withdraw his mo tion. At the same time that it was sufficiently clear that Mr. Chadwick had remonstrated against the practice. Sir J. GRAHAM said no, he had not remonstrated, he had given his opinion against it. RAILWAYS. Mr. AGLIONBY and Mr. BROTIIERTON brough up the reports of several Railway Bills from the Sub• CommitceF. SCOTCH BILLS. The LORD ADVOCATE brought in two Bills, one fo amend an Act, Ist and 2d Victoria ; the other to provide for the abolition of exclusive privileges in boroughs. Mr. WATSON brought in his Bill to remove pains and penalties from her Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects. These Bills were read a first, and ordered to be read a second time. NEW WRITS FOR DORSETSHIRE. Mr. S. O'BRIEN moved for the issuing of two writs for the county of Dorset, in the room of Lord Ashley, and Mr. Salm who had accepted the stewardship of the Chiltern Hundreds. THE PREMIER'S COMMERCIAL POLICY. Mr. YOUNG presented a petition in favour of the en lightened scheme of commercial policy proposed by thu Right Hon. Baronet at the head of the Government. MACCLESFIELD AND LICHFIELD RAILWAY. Mr. SPOONER presented a petition, praying for leave to bring in a Bill for a railway from Macclesfield to Lichfield. The House adjourned at Seven o'clock.

(From the Votes and Proceedings of the House of Commons. WEDNESDAY, FEB. 4. IRISH GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. Motion made, and Question proposed, " That it be an instruction to the Committee on the Petition fur the Irish Great Western Rail way Bill, to entertain the petitions of the Midland Great Western Railway Company of Ireland and James Malley; Daniel Desmond and James Malley ; John Gaynor ; and James Malley, notwith standing the same were not presented three clear days before the day appointed for the first meeting of the Committee :"—Amendment proposed, at the end of the Question to add the words, " provided it appear to the said Committee that the said petitions were in the pos session of some Parliamentary agent on Friday morning, and that he was prepared to place them in the hands of a Member on the same day for presentation to the House, if the house had net bee❑ ad journed over that day :"—Question put, " That those words be there added." The House divided : In answer to a question from Mr. PATTISON, Sir ROBERT PEEL said that the reduction could not take place on seeds until the month of June next. The reduction would take place from that day, in con formity with the resolution come to by her Majesty's Go verftmenL Mr. ELLIS said that he had occasion to make repre sentations to his constituency on the subject of the changes proposed to be introduced by the Right Hon. Baronet, and he could state, that after the manifestation of some anxiety, which was perhaps not unnatural, they generally concurred in the m easure wh i ch the Right Hon. Gentleman proposed to bring forward. At the same time they sent a memorial praying that the reduction might not take place till the let July. Sir R. PEEL doubted whether the suggested alteration would be productive of any advantage. He was glad, however, that the constituency of the Hon. Gentleman had evinced a concurrence in the contemplated reductions, and such a readiness entitled them to great credit. Sir R. PEEL, in reply to a question from Lord John Russell, said that he proposed the reduction on corn, should take place immediately after the resolution was passed and reported. Mr. HUTT wished to ask the Right Honourable Gen tleman (the Home Secretary) whether it was the inten tion of Government to bring in a Bill to improve the measure passed last year, affecting the naturalisation of foreigners. Sir JAMES GRAHAM had no difficulty in stating that there was no such intention entertained by the Go vernment. Very many applications had been made under the late measure, and it bad been found to work most satisfactorily. IRISH SPIRIT DUTIES. Sir H. W. BARRON wis led to ask the Right Hon. Baronet opposite wht then any alteration was to b e pro posed by which the 1. nded interest in Ireland would have the benefit of the British market for Irish spirits? The reason he asked the question was, because he had seen that it was the . intention of the Government to admit foreign spir it s into want country at a less duty than What he d, in fact, to know was, they now paid. l i c ) i ro b p e osed change, the Irish landowner whether by the placed in a worse position in the Eantidgldisihstitinielrrkwet"tha.n they now were? Sir U. PEEL said that I rish spirits ware now per mitted to enter the E ngli sh .. market upon the same ts and that surely could footing as English not be deemed a grievance. l-11(.1.1ear, hear.) At present Irish spirits paid but 2s. 10 and 7s. 10d., while fo reign spirits paid a great deal more; so that it was not likely that Irish spirits would be brought into any dis advantageous competition w ith foreign sp irits.—(hear.) The Hon. Baronet spoke of the subject AS if it were a grievance; but he (Sir R. Peel) really could not see how it could be deemed such.—(Hear.) There certainly would be no proposition to alter the Irish spirit duties for the present. REPEAL O F PENAL moved o_ for leave he Mr. WATSONenacetr leave to bring in a P Bill for the further re-e— and penalties on heralajesty's RanoemnetsadttiamOnpaootts intend to cpsauinbs jects on account of their reli g i on . go into the details of this measure, because av ert' siderable portion of the Bill had already received the sanction of the Criminal law Commissioners, to whom it had been referred. It was sufficient to say that the ob ject of the Bill was to remove the pains and penalties which had been at one period imposed upon her Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects —one of those penalties being Escott, Bickham TELLERS.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OP LORDS, Feb. 5. The House sat to-day, f,,r the first time this Felsion, to hear Appeals. The Peers present were Lord Brougham, Lord Cuttenham, and Lord Campbell. MACPHERSON V. camons. The case came before their Lordships upon appeal from the decision of the Court of Session. The only question in the case is, whether an entailed estate in the possession of the appellant was charged with a jointure to the respondent. The Court of Session decided that it was; and from that judgment the present appeal was brought. The case will probably occupy two or three days in argument. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Feb. 5. (Sittings at NW Prins, Westminster Hall, before Lord DEN 31.4.24 and a Common Jury.) COWAN V. CRIMP. was examined by Mr. BODKIN,—I was on board the ship Tory on her voyage from Hong-Kong to England. She be longed to Liverpool, and I was apprentice on board. The prisoner was captain of her, and the crew consisted, on an average, of 27. No unpleasantness arose on the outward voyage. We left Hong• Kong for England in May, 1845. We had a man named Reason, an able seaman, who joined us at Singapore. The mates - were Willim Henry Rambert and William Mars. The cargo was very valuable, consisting for the most part of tea. When we had passed the Cape the wind was favourable, and we made for St. Helena. The captain assigned as a reason for passing the island, that his chronometers were IN ro •g,land that he was, therefore, out of his longitude. He asked the crew if they were favourable to a run for Ascension, and theysaid they were. This might ben run of six days. The provisions were very low and the allowance of water was a quart. The usual allowance is from six pints to a gallon. I was laid up at the time, and did not hear much murmuring among the crew; but they seemed to think that the captain had some private reason for passing the island of Madeira. After mi-sing the island of Ascension, the mates were called down into the cabin, and, after a consultation, it was deter mined to proceel on the homeward voyage. I find by the log-book that this was on the 2Ct't Sep'. The allowance of water was, after that, further diminished to a pint a day, and the bread to half a pound a day, till it was altogether urn , sumed. This was very soon after the captain bad determined to make for home. We fell in with a French barque at eight on the morning of the 23d. I remember the fact of Rambert's jumping overboard, although I did not myself see him do so; but from that day we went on pretty comfortably till we made the island of Fayal, at five o'clock on the 22d Octo'eer. The captain went ashore, and I accompanied him. Reason, David Johnstone, Henry Thompson, Slack, and the other apprentice, were of the boat's crew. I speak to the best of my knowledge. The captain returned on board the same day, and we returned also. At this time the harbour- master was on board, iu charge of the ship. The captain was in his senses, although he appeared to have been drinking slightly. He always appe trod given more to drinking after the death of Rambert. On that oc casion he was rather the worse for drink when he went ashore, and he was with the English Consul for nesrly an hour and half alone, but whether he was drinking then I cannot say. On the day on which Reason died I was in the -captain's cabin. It was late in the evening, nearly bed time. The captain desired me to stop in the cabin. A charge was brought against the deceased Reason by a man named Morris. The deceased had said n that he would have law when he came to England," or words to that effect. The captain then desired Reason to be sent fer. He came down then. Barry Yelverton and William Dann, the cook, were in the cabin, as well as a foreigner, Jules Cor diavello. The captain was more than half drunk. Be had been taking brandy and water before. I did not remain in the cabin till Reason's death. To the best of my knowledge the captain took hold of him and shook him on the sofa, where he desired him to sit. He struck him over the side with the point of the bayonet. I can recollect that he spoke some words to him first. I think he said you are ad— mutineer, sir. Reason did not answer. I did not see the captain do anything more while I was there. There were bayonets always about the cabin. He had not a bayonet in his hand when Morris first spoke to him, but he took it into his hand when Reason first came down. There was a boy on board named Glover, and soon after I left he came and called me. I went down to the cabin again, and saw the captain and Dunn there. Rea son was lying down alongside the sofa, and the cook in formed me that he was dead. I disbelieved it, but after wards found that he was dead. The captain looked as if he were more in possession of his senses than before I left tire cabin, and he appeared calm and unmoved. The body was carried out and buried or' tl:e following morning. I read the burial service over him. I find an entry in the log on the 24th October, signed by the captain. I made that entry by the captain's desire. lie told me that Reason had died in a fit, and Dunn told me so also. I had a conversation with the captain before, and he desired me to say that he had died in a fit. I entered in the log-book what he desired me to enter, although I guessed how the man had died. I think that the other names were signed after Mars died. In general cases the captain and the two chisf officers sign the log, but no others. Cross-examined by Mr. Jim - is—This voyage was the first long voyage I made under Captain Johnstone. Nothing particular occurred in the outward voyage. Rambert was a new hand. I cannot say how many new hands were shipped. I cannot say that any of the hands had shipped under false names, or that they had left their ships at Hong-Kong. Rambert leaped overboard on the 25th of September. I did not hear some days before that that there was to be a mu• tiny. Rambert was in the habit of treating the men un kindly, but the captain was not. He seemed very attentive to the interests of the owners, and before this time was very quiet. The men were at this time grumbling because they were on short allowance. Yelverton and French made some communication to the captain, that the crew, or part of the crew, had sharpened their knives with the intention of taking the captain's life. French accused the cook with a design on the captain's life. This communication added to the captain's excitement. A man named Cole informed him, also, that the crew intended, after taking his life, to sail with the ship to the Continent. Dunn told the captain, in about an hour after the previous statements, that French had sharpened his knife on both sides, and said that he would be one of the first to take his life. He also heard the foreigner tell the captain that Gair, a seaman, had come to him, and pointing a marline spike at his breas`, threat ened to run it into him if he would not assist to kill the captain. The crew generally were in the habit of carrying tales to the captain of the intention of other persons. The way this was done was, the captain would call down one of the crew, and holding a cutlass over him, would threaten to cut him if he would not reveal some thing about some of the other men, and to save himself the man did so. Barry Yelverton, French, and Dunn's commu nications were voluntary ones. After Rambert's death and the arrival of the Tory at Fayal, she was boarded by the cap tain of an English vessel, who remained fur about an hour and a half, having free access to the ship and free com munication wi th the crew of the Tory. After leaving Fayal, French made another voluntary communication to the captain. When the boy Glover called for me the captain was more than half drunk, and he had been in this excited state for some time before. When Reason was called down the captain struck him on the side IN ith the bayonet. Reexamined by 11r. BODKIN—I wrote the false , entries because I knew the captain would put an end to any one's existence who refused to obey him. He said to me ir that if I disobeyed him, I should not have long to live." Julian Cordiavello, examined by Mr. CLERK—Joined the drip at Liverpool for the outward and home voyage. He recollected the death of Reason sonic three days after the ship left Fayal on her return. He remembered hie being in the cabin at about midnight with others. IV hen Reason came in the captain told him to sit down on the cola ; he had then a cutlaer, in his hand. He said, then you want law, give you English law, and he struck him on the forehead with the cutlass. He then seized Reason by the collar, and shoved him from side to side. The captain then threw the cutlass on the floor and called the boy Denning to bring the bayonet. He struck him twice with it, and the man died immediately. Mr. Justice Wramams—Where did he strike him ? Wit ness—On the breast. He called Dunn, and the man was dis covered to be dead. The body of Reason was thrown over board. Cross-examined—He knew a Frenchman on board of the name of Morris. He was shipped at Hong -Kong. He (the witness) did not know that Morris had been on board the ship William the Fourth, or that he had been accused of mutiny. Witness had never heard Reason threaten the captain's life. The captain in his con duct was very violent, very much like a wild animal. He often exclaimed, "this is the arm that slew the Boyne at the hattle of Bannockburn." This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who was a journeyman cigar maker, living at lied Lion-street, White cbapel, against the defendant, who was a butcher, for the al leged negligent driving of a cart by a servant of the de fendant, on the 3d of September, the result of which was that plaintiff was knocked down, and would have been killed but for the interference of a friend; he was, however, very much bruised. A witness named Alexander, a cigar maker, deposed that he and plaintiff were standing in the street about a yard out side the kerb-stone, when the defendant's cart came up, the shaft of which struck the plaintiff and knocked him down. Witness seized hold of the horse, and stopped him ; if he had gone on the wheel must have gone over the plaintiff's body ; as the cart was approaching the witness saw the driver reading a paper of some sort ; there was another cart passing at the time, and there was ample room ; p 1 in tiff was a t ) much injured that he was laid up for some time ; he could earn about 355. a week. Several other witnesses were celled, and gave testimony corroborative of the above. _ _ _ For the defence the driver of the cart was called, and he deposed that the plaintiff and his companions were standing in the middle of the street; that he called out to them, but they did not move. When the accieent happened the plaintiff got up and seized witness by the collar and threatened to strike him, but was prevented by his companions. Defendant ap peared to have been drinking. Witness met him a few days after, and he (plaintiff) 4auced about and said, " Thank God, there is no limbs broken."—(Laughter.) hfe a,ked witness for an ox-tail for a little nourishment—(Laughter)—and that he would give him a few cigars. A second witness gave evidence somewhat to the same effect. The jury found a verdict for the defendant. Barry Yelverton was next examined, and said he was an apprentice on board the Tory, and was in her on the voyage from Hong-Kong. He recollected the vessel falling short of water and provisions before the slip reached Ascension. The night on which they expected to make Ascension, he asked Reason if he thought they would reach land before the next morning? His answer was, he did not know; but if they did so, he would put a blue shirt on the forearm, so that some man-of-war's men would come on board and learn how the men had been treated on the voyage by Captain Johnstone. That was all that witness heard Reason say. Witness told this to the captain after the Tory fell in with the French barque, from which they obtained provisions. He believed that he told the captain the day after leaving the French barque. The captain called witness into the cabin then, and said that, judg ing from the mate's appearance, he concluded d‘miT(lyeyfl ciaoalmpueni tnat.deeialci a ?soiaoeto l itf, l was not right, and asked him if he had heard anything.

Witness then told all he French also said he had seen the men sharpening their knives on the grindstone. About an hour after witness went on deck, and saw the captain and several other of the officers armed. The men were all aft, and the captain was cutting at them. Among the men aft were Reason, Lee, and Cone, and these were the men the captain was cutting at then. They were in irons at the time at the break of the poop. They were cut on the head, and witness saw all the three bleeding. The same night the three were hauled into the tops, but before this they had an anchor shackle placed on the necks of each. They were hauled into the tops by ropes. Shortly after this lambert jumped overboard. He recollected the ship being off Fayal, and the captain going on shore to the British Consul's. Witness went with him, but remained on shore by the boat till the captain's return. The captain ap peared to be rather intoxicated when he came back, and said something about the crew, but the words he did not recollect. About two days after lie recollected Reason, who was now first mate, being sent for into the cabin. At this time the cap tain appeared to be very intoxicated. Morris was sent for a little before, and asked if lie had heard of any plot against his (the captain's) life. He answered all that he had heard Reason, Cone, and Lee say was, that on arriving in London they would have law for him for what he had done to them. The captain, on Reason coining into the cabin, said he would have his law now, and cut the latter several times on the head. Reason was sent on deck after this, and again seut for about four hours after, and cut at in a singular manner. He also pitched him about with his hands. Reason asked the captain several times to spare him, but he paid no attention to it, and shouted out the expression about the battle of Bannockburn. The captain also stabbed Reason in the left breast twice. About ten minutes after Reason died. The dead body was afterwards placed at the foot of the cabin, when the captain thrust the cutlass into it at the shoulder, saying he would serve the whole of them in the same way. The most of the crew were by at the time, hav ing come down to see the body. Witness the following night heard the captain say he would make the crew walk the plank. The captain dra•!k much more after falling in with the French barque than before. The witness, in con tinuation, repeated in substance the evidence about the entries which he made in the log-hook, made, as witness declared, at the dictation of the captain, and the particulars of which were given fully at the time of the examination before the magistrates. lie made the deposition lie then did, because the captain threatened the crew, if they did not do so, he would have their life's blood. The witness was cross-examined at some length, but no thing was elicited that materially affected his evidence in chief. David Johnson called and examined—Said he was a sea man on board the Tory. He joined the ship at Hong-Kong. He remembered the death of Reason. Oa the evening be fore Reason died the deceased came to witness's berth and said that the captain had called him. He saw a cut across his forehead and the blood was upon it. Reason was called by Julian and went away. After that witness never saw Reason alive, but next day he saw the dead body about 8 o'clock, when he saw four of the ship's company carrying it along the deck. Witness saw the body bare and noticed several stabs. Franklin Tucker was next examined, and deposed as to Reason. The last time he saw him alive was on the morning of the day of his death ; he was going down into the cabin, and he had several cuts on his head. The next time he saw him was about two hours after, when he saw him brought up on deck dead. Witness afterwards examined the body, and it was much cut on the head and body, apparently with a cutlass. There was nothing elicited ih the creas-e.xeraihation of &WI Witt lee& . COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Feb. 5. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, in Westminster, after Term, before the Loran CIIIEF BARON and a Common Jury.) JOYCE v. ROBSON. This was action of debt, brought to recover 160/. for goods sold and delivered, and board and lodging provided on the defendant's account, for one John Hopkinson, to which the defendant had pleaded that he never was indebted. Mr. Atkinson appeared for tl,c plaintiff and Mr. Knowles for the defendant. The plaintiff was a tailor, carrying on business in the City, and the defendant was the well-known sporting character who was connected with the Running Rein affair, in which he came off a loser of considerable sums of money. It would appear from the evidence that some time ago the defendant was staying at the White Horse Inn, Fetter-lane, with a friend named Hopkinson, from whom he borrowed 2001., aud, as a return for the loan, it was agreed that Hop kinson should board and lodge with, as weR as obtain clothes from, the plaintiff for a specified period, at the defendant's expense. Hopkinson accordingly lived with the plaintiff for two years, and was amply provided with food and clothing, and supplied with pocket-money at the rate of Bs. per week, and the present action was brought to compel the defendant to reimburse the plaintiff, in accordance with the terms of the agreement made two years ago. Mr. KNOWLES, for the defence, contended that the case involved a very improbable story, which it was impossible for any twelve men of common sense to credit for a single mo ment. One would imagine that Hopkinson was a helpless lad, unable to take care of either himself or his money, and that commiseration for his helpless state moved the defendant to superintend the disbursement of his money, and see that he was properly lodged, fed, and clothed. But' the fact was not so ; Hopkinson was a full-grown man of thirty years of age, and just as capable of taking care of himself and his money as the, defendant. At all events, he denied that de fendant was liable for the money and clothes supplied to Hopkinson, although he was ready to admit that he ought to pay for the board and lodging. And this he had done to the fullest extent, for he had paid the plaintiff 43/., which was more than the bill made the board and lodging come to. The LORD CHIEF 14,4at0x, in summing up, remarked that there was an exceedingly wholesome statute in existence, namely, the Statute of Frauds, which required that when a party undertook to pay money for another, the agreement should be in writing, and even at the risk of sacrificing a desire to do justice to a man who was m o ney out of pocket, he thought it would be better for them to be guided by the strict letter of this law. The jury then retired, and after a rather long consulta tion, returned into Court with a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, 68/. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT; OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS and Mr. Justice CRESSWELL. ALLEGED MURDERS ON BOARD THE TORY. George Johnstone, formerly captain of the 811 Tory, 7.--- ship whose Case has excited such extraordinary interest, was this day placed at the bar on an indictment charging him with the wilful murder of Thomas Reason. There were other indict ments, but the charge, in the first instance, was confined to the murder of Reason. The Attorney-General, Mr. Bodkin, and Mr. Clerk, were for the prosecution ; Mr. Jervis, Q.C., and Mr. Huddlestone, appeared for the defence. the prisoner, who seemed in a better state of health than when he appeared before the magistrate at the Thames Police-court, was accommodated with a chair, and seemed during the proceedings to pay particular attention to the , . evidence, more especially where it seemed to go against himself. lie is not by any means a man of unprepossessing appearance. The ArronicEr-GENERAL rose to state the case. He said —My Lords and Gentlemen of the Jury, in an important and serious case of this description, involving as it does the death of a fellow-creature, and on the issue of which the life of another person depends, I am sure it will be unnecessary for me to intreat your careful consideration slid mast patient atten tion. It is possible that many of the circumstances, which have already been communicated to the pub!ic, have reached your ears ; but you will not be required to be told by me to distrust these statements, and to act on the present occasion entirely on the facts which will be sworn to by the witnesses. In disposing of the anxious and painful duty which is cast upon me, I have found it extremely difficult, in considering the proper way to introduce the case to you, to extricate from a variety of facts and circumstances that portion of the witnesses' statement which applies to the case immediately before the Court, without wandering into other and lessimportant particu lars. I have reflected over and over again as to the proper course that I ought to take, and with the deepest feelings of the responsibility which attaches to me, I trust that in giving you a sort of connected narration of the whole of the proceed ings, so as to enable you to form a correct judgment on the subject, I shall not omit to mention anything which in justice ought to form part of the case; at the same time I trust that I shall intro duce nothing irrelevant to prejudice the prisoner in your estimation. We have selected as the first case to be ex amined into the serious charge against the prisoner of the wilful murder of Thomas Reason. The circumstance took place on board of a vessel named the Tory, in which the pri saner was captain, on her homeward voyage. She had, it appeared, sailed from Liverpool in 1844, for Bombay and China. Reason joined at Singapore, on her homeward voyage. She was a vessel of some 608 tons and had a crew of 26 men. She had sailed from Hong-Kong in the beginning of May, 1845, with a valuable cargo. The vessel was worth ( bah ship and cargo) somewhere about 80,0001.—such a charge would naturally make any man anxious to whose care it was entrusted, and this circumstance must be taken into consi deration in weighing the case. When the vessel left Hong- Kong she passed the Cape of Good Hope without touching there, but after doubling it the provisions and water began to fail. The men were put on an allowance of a quart a day of water, instead of a gallon, which was the usual quantity served out. They naturally, under these circumstances, expressed some discontent and dissatisfaction. The captain had intended to touch at St. Helena, but, in consequence of some accident to his chronometers, he was out in his longi tude, and therefore missed the island. He afterwards ex pressed his intention to touch at the Island of Ascension, which might be five to six days' run from St. Helene, and the provisions and water began to fail more and more. On the 18th of September it wa s supposed by the captain that they were near the Island of Ascension, and he hove to and remained there during the whole of the night. In the course of that evening Reason, the deceased, in talking to Some of the men, said that if they did not make the island in the morning the captain should no longer be Captain Johnstone. I believe that from someting that will appear in the course of the trial it will be seen that these expressions conveyed no intimation either against the life of the captain or against his command in the ship.. The Learned Attorney- General then proceeded to detail the facts of the case (facts which have already frequently appeared in our columns, and which will be better understood by the evidence), from the time that the Tory passed the Island of Ascension, the in • creasing dissatisfaction of the men, the falling in with a French barque and the reception from her of some p rovisions and water and a cask of wine, the prisoner's increasing par tiality for intoxicating spirits, the chasing Rambert, the chief mate, and two other men with a cutlass ac ross the deck, and the chief mate's going overboard, to the death of Reason, from wounds inflicted by the captain in the cabin, on the night of the 24th O cto b er. The Learned Gentleman then concluded, " I ha ve en d eavoure d, as dispassionately as I could, to lay all the circumstances of the case before you. Of the death of Reason no doubt can be entertained, nor of the causes which led to it. It is impossible for me to anticipate what the defence of the prisoner may be, nor will I attempt to create a prejudice or prepossession in your minds by suggesting what course may possibly be taken on the present occasion. I wish th a t a ll th e facts should go before you in the plainest and simplest way, in order that you may be enabled to form a dispassionate judgment upon them. I therefore wish no portion of the grounds on which the prisoner may rest his defence to be occupied by any remarks on my part. I have endeavoured to discharge my duty faithfully, and at the same time _fairly. I will cell witnesses to prove the circumstances I have detailed, and without further observation or reason on the facts, I shall l eave the case to your consideration and judgment."

French he recollected coming to him in the poop with his knife sharpened, and said if the captain touched him he would run it into him. Witness pro posed that the captain should be taken and confined till they reached an English port. Reason, in reply to French, said they could manage it without murdering the captain. The next day they fell in with the French barcrie. He told the captain what passed on the 23d, because witness heard that French had informed the captain that he (the witness) intended shutting him in the poop and murdering him. The witness then went on in cor roboration of Reason, Lee, and Cone, being subsequently put in irons, the particulars of the death of the former, and as to having signed the log-book, stating that Reason had diedin a fit. He signed the log-book entirely from the threats of the cap tarn. The witness was cross-examined at some length with the object of showing that the Ivitness had freely stated that Reason had died in a fit, and that he had heard the crew threaten the captain's life. On these heads no material point was elicited, otherwise than already given, though he stated he had some words with the captain respecting a woman on board, whom the latier accused him of living with. James Glover, the steward, followed in examination, and deposed as to the cutting and stabbing of Reason on the night in question. His evidence was mainly in confirmation of that of Yelverton and Julian. Henry Slack was next called, who briefly deposed to hav ing heard Reason called into the cabin by the captain on the evening before his death. Henry James Stephen, a boy, the son of the female passenge-, Mrs. ThompsGn, was examined as to the captain threatening when in Faval to " kill them all," and also as to the death of Reason. Ho did not see Reason struck, but raw him after his death. He had two wounds on his breast. James Sinclair, the carpenter, was called, but counsel for the Crown declining to put any question to him, Mr. JERVIS examined him at some length His evidence, which in substance was the same as that given be fore the magistrate was to the effect—that the men were very discontented, and had threatened among themselves to do some bodily harm to the captain, and that Reason and a man named Curteis were going to take the ship to America. The captain, on hearing these reports, became ve. - y excited, and on the same even ing he chased several of those whom he suspected round the deck. Cross-examined—Witness did not hear the parties referred to threaten the captain ; he only heard French and Yelver ton tell the captain that these threats had been held out. Witness put Reason, Lee, and Cone in irons, and shackles on their neck. by the order of the captain. They were much cut and bleeding at the time. Peter Curteis was called, and denied that he had ever threatened the captain's life, or heard the crew say that they would take the ship to America, as had been allege" He saw Reason go dawn into the cabin on the night before his death, and he was one that helped to bring the body up next morning. On going down to fetch it, he saw the cap tain standing over the body with the pant of his cutlass in the body. Cross-examined—Witness never told the captain that Rambert wanted the men to go aft and take his life. What he told him was, that Rambert wanted the men to go aft and make the captain fast. This closed the case for the prosecution. After some consultation, it was arranged that Mr. Jervis should address the jury in the morning, on the opening of the Court. One of the officers of the Court was then sworn to take charge of the jury till the morning, and the Court adjourned POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Yesterday two person-, named John Morley and Sarah Thomas,were brought betore the Lord Mayor, one charged with having in a great variety of instances Gbtained goods from warehousemen under false representations, and the other with having received and pawned 'the goods. Each of the prisoners was said to be but nine teen years of age. Mr. Waller, from the firm of Ashurst and Son, solici tors, attended for the prosecution. Richard Goodwin, a person in the employment of Dollfus, Meig, and Co., of No. 1, Friday-street, ware housemen, stated that the male prisoner called at the warehouse on Friday, at one o'clock, and said he came from Messrs. Badham and Gaunt, of Walvvorth, and wanted for them some pieces of goods upon approbation. Witness requested him to look in again, and it would be ascertained whether the articles he wished for could be supplied, and he accordingly called in about twenty minutes, and selected three ,pieces of cashmere. The firm in whose name the young man applied was known to the prosecutors, but Morley was not known, and the warehouseman who exhibited the goods was taken off his guard by the statement of the latter, that he had just been getting goods at Morrison's. The witness gave him the parcel of cashmere and the invoice pro duced, and as some suspicion was entertained of him, followed him through several streets as far as a court in Gray's Inn. lane, where he disappeared. On his cross-examination witness said he had never seen Morley before that occasion, and he knew nothing of the female prisoner. _ _ _ Mr. James Gaunt, of the firm of Badham and Gaunt, of Walworth, stated that Morley had lived in the house about three years, as an apprentice, 'and about three weeks ago absented himself. Witness understood from him that he had formed a connexion with a female, but did not know that the fema'e prisoner was the person. The policeman who apprehended Morley found in his pockets several papers, amongst which was the invoice of the goods procured from the prosecutors. The policeman who apprehended the woman said he took her into custod) when she called to see Morley at the Compter. lle accompanied her to a house in Bell•court, Gray's Inn-lane, in which they lodged, and lived tole ther as man and wife, and found there some articles of dress, which were identified as part of the goods which lied been procured in the manner above stated, by Morley. She stated to him that Morley had sent,word to her to destroy all the dresses and the duplicates. The landlady of the house in which the prisoner re sided said the female prisoner rented and took the lodg ing for herself and her husband, as she called Morley, on Monday week. Both prisoners had been frequently seen returning home with parcels. The prisoners were remanded, as several other cases are to be investigated. _ _ _ A lad, named John Jansen, was charged with having embezzled several sums of money, the property of his employer, Mr. Waller, newsvender, of Staining-lane. Mr. Waller had been seriously injured by the vile conduct of the prisoner, who appropriated to his own purposes the money given to him for the purchase of newspapers for the customers of the house, as well as received sums for which he never accounted, Mr. Wal ler declared that he could not guess to what an extent he was likely to suffer by such flagrant wrong, hut an appeal made to his parental feelings by Mr. Duncombe, the prisoner's solicitor, completely overpowered the poor man, and he abandoned the prosecution. The prisoner, who wept bitterly, was of course dis charged. A sailor, named William Harper, was fined 1001. for having in his cabin twenty-two pounds weight of tobacco, on which the duty had not been paid. RAILWAYS —The Lord Mayor regretted to say that he hid received a communication relative to the deplor able condition of a number of poor men, who whatever accusation might be made against some persons who meddled with railway speculations, certainly ought not to be sufferers. He meant the surveyors of the projected lines of railroads over the country. His communicant mentioned that the contest between the condition of many of the surveyors while the mania was raging, and their prestnt state was really horrible, for he knew many who after the cruelly laborious work they had undergone, and the difficulties of every kind they had to encounter, could not prevail upon the engineer by whom they were employed, to Day them a farthing of what they had through much desperate hardship earned, and they were glad to get refuge in miserable rooms, and to obtain the comfort of a cup of coffee. ,An appeal had been made to the Chief Magistrate on the subject, and he was requested to devise some means by a hich the poor sufferers could be assisted in their efforts to obtain restitution. But what could the Lord Mayor do? It would appear that railroad difficulties were only just commencing, and that the responsibilities of some persons were likely to be ruinous to their credit, and carry with them a long train of calamities in which multitudes would participate. A gentlemen, who stated that he eves aware of the existence of a great deal of distress amongst humble tradespeople, in consequence of the speculations in rail roads made by their customers, declared, that in some places people were afraid to give credit to the amount of a few shillings. The Loan MAYOR said, that in the cases to which he alludel, he could only refer the applicants to the active offices of a solicitor, or to the society established for protecting patties having valid claims. He took the opportunity of stating that he, with great pain, had seen a paragraph, which had been copied from some Sunday newspaper into the daily press, representing that several members of the Court of Aldermen had found it necessary to leave the country, in consequence of certain liabilities arising from railway adventures. He did not believe that ill-natured report. He was constantly in the habit of seeing his brethren in the pr rformance of their duties, and there certainly were not absent from town more than usually absent:el them selves At this time of the y ear. THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY. The hllowing are the material portions of Major- General Pisley's report to the Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade en the fatal accident of the 20th of January, on the South-Eastern Railway, occa sioned by the falling of a bridge under a goods train. (This report was yesterday issued by order of the House of Lords.) "Railway Department, Board of Trade, Whitehall, Jan. 23. " My Lord—The fell of an occupation bridge of the South-Eastern Railway, undermined by the floods, about one o'clock A.M. on the morning of the 20th instant, whilst an up goods train from Tonbridge was passing over it, whereby an engine and tender and two goods waggons were precipitated into the road beneath, by which the engine-man was killed and the stoker injured, having been reported by Mr. Herbert, Secretary of the Company, in his letter received at this office on the 21st instant, I. proceeded yesterday to inquire into the cir cumstances by the 11 30 A.M. train. "The bridge that gave way, situated about a mile to the westward of the Tonbridge station, and 120 yards beyond the third bridge over the Medway, was twelve feet wide, built with substantial brick abutment walls supporting iron girders, bearing strong transverse planks and longitudinal sleepers on which the rails rested. Mr. Barlow informed me that the foundations of these walls were sunk to a sufficient depth in compact gravel, be neath a stratum of a still more compact sort of natural conglomerate about four feet thick, on which a paved roadway under the bridg? was formed. The ground ad joining to this bridge, on the east side of that road and south of the railway, afforded ballast of good quality, which was dug on the spot, and used by Mr. Hoof, the contractor, Or keepieg the railway IA repair, and is -----e---- ---- eill 0 . removing this material the ground had he e , a id away so as to form a very large excevatineptl to a be at least from eight to ten feet in ftverage rt o nd in- some places more. Being so much V e to be the original surface, which was itself liabl!erectea overflowed after heavy rains, the contractor list' r . s od a small steam-engine for pumping out thew a te ,,f' 00 in order to diminish the trouble and exPie:boie 0 operation, he made a tile drain from the bell a ; : i " u nder the summer level of the river, which be ca rr i. coar se the occupation road, and in so doing he of °, na erst e have broken through the strong crust of coligi°ldoo before mentioned, by a trench at least two fee : a te& a depth which Mr. Barlow estimates to have bee n 0 six feet below the surface, and at this time the?' ~,- p the roadway was taken up, and not replaced to who id I saw a labourer in charge of the ballast- night o f t) me that it was empty, at nine Rae on the n , 0 0 19th inst , and that the river had. not thee ,;.,eveste.,e its bank.
