QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice WIGHTZIAN and a special jury.) ROWCLIFFE V. BARNARD GREGORY, 34 This was an action to recover compensation in da mages for an illegal trespass. The defendant pleaded not guilty, that the plaintiff was not possessed, and that the house in question was the pro perty of the Rev. Mr. Tyler, the rector of St. Giles's. It appeared from the statement of Mr. Humfrey that the plaintiff had carried on for some years,as also his father, the business of a builder and plasterer, at 23, Crown -court, St. Giles's, and that the defendant claimed possession of the house; that he employed a number of workmen to rase the house to the ground. This was accordingly done after various short delays. The plaintiff had in consequence been a loser, and claimed damages to the amount of 3001. or 4004 for the injuries Le had sustained. It was proved that the house was pulled down, except the lower part, and that all the materials, after the house was pulled down, were taken to Gregory's pre mises close at hand. Mr. Edward Roberts, a surveyor, stated that it would take about 3571. to repair the house. The ground-floor would require 401. or 501. to repair it. Mr. MONTAGUE CHAMBERS, who appeared for the de fendant, said that on August 18, 1789, the Rev. Dr. Put ner, the then rector of St. Giles, granted a lease for 61 years to Edward Rowcliffe, the father of the plaintiff, and when it expired the present rector, the Rev. Mr. Tyler, the property being church property, entered into as agreement with Mr. Gregory, by which he agreed to repair and rebuild the houses in Dudley-court, which showed that the defendant was acting under the authority of the Rev. Mr. Tyler. He also contended that even if Mr. Tyler was not en titled to the possession of the entire house, be bad an undoubted right to the upper part of it, which alone had been pulled down. Mr. Gregory had gi►en notice to Mr. Rowcliffe before he commenced the pulling down, and workmen were engaged at ss. a day, in order that they might be particularly careful in not doing damage to the lower part of the house, which alone was occupied by the plaintiff. The lease of the plaintiff having expired, be was a trespasser, and the defendant, he contended, had a perfect right to pull down the building, which had already been condemned by the overseers of the parish. Evidence in support of the defence was then adduced, which went to prove the material facts set up by the Learned Counsel. The leases and other documents were put in. The property had formerly belonged to the late Dowager Duchess of Dudley, and it was given by her for the use of the rector of St. Giles for the time being. Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN summed up, and the jury found a verdict for the defendant upon all the issues. THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.)

TALLOW.-Russian on the spot has been dealt in with caution, and former rates can be obtained, there is like wise a desire manifested by merchants to sell fine P.Y. Candle at 44s 9d to 45s per cwt.

We have had frost and snow, rain and storm, all in rapid succession. The Dublin moun tains are covered with snow. The Belfast mail, due at 5 P. N. yesterday evening, owing to the depth of snow on the northern line of road, did not arrive at the Post-office until 10 o'clock last night. The mails from England have all been several hours after time, in consequence of the storms. Their Excellencies the Lord-Lieutenant and the Countess of Clarendon are expected at the Viceregal Lodge, in the Phoenix Park; this evening, on their re turn from his Excellency's seat, the Grove, at Watford, Herts. Lieutenant-Colonel Carruthers, C. 8., has arrived at the Richmond Barracks from leave of absence, and re sumed the command of the Queen's Royals. The Earl of Enniskillen ' the Marquis of Ely, Mervyn Archdall, Esq., M.P., and several other noblemen and gentlemen of distinction, are expected to spend the forth coming Christmas at their respective family seats in the county Fermanagh. A Dublin commercial statement for the past week re ports as follows :—" There has been rather a large amount of business done in produce, unaccompanied, however, in a single instance with improvement in price; indeed the uniformity with which every article either remains stationary or retrogrades is most remarkable. Most of the principal articles of commerce can be purchased on cheaper terms, although the stocks are not large, the consumption fair, and money easy. Credit is, however, very well supported, and it is satisfactory to have no failure either among the merchant or retail trade to re port, considering that the losses upon produce of every sort during the present year must have been enormous. As for the last two or three weeks, we have again to report a slight advance in the price of Government securities, with a quiet market, and very limited amount of busi ness. The transactions in shares have not been either numerous or important, and prices generally are with out variation. The tendency of railway shares is, how ever, still downward, and they lose a little ground every week." The Lord Chancellor has set aside the commission of bankruptcy sued out against Mr. Charles Gavan Duffy. By the proceedings in the Court of Chancery on Satur day, it appears that the claim which Mr. Duffy disputed has been withdrawn, and the commission of bankruptcy superseded, and superseded at the cost of the person on whose affidavit it was issued. In addition to those already named, Messrs. James Doyle, Eugene Martin, Lalor, Hanvey, and D r . M`Car ron, have been liberated from Newgate, on their personal recognisance. There does not now remain one political prisoner in that gaol but Mr. Duffy. Smith, the last of the Ballingarry men (except a man in hospital), has also received a letter from the Castle, admitting him to bail, making a complete gaol delivery. The resistance to poor rate is reported to have ceased in the Gort Union. In the last fortnight the collection has proceeded much more favourably, and about 1,5001. has been received weekly, which, considering the im poverished state of the union, is a considerable amount. Some very beneficial changes have been effected in the workhouse arrangements. THE HERO OF SINDE. LIMERICK, SATURDAY.—The distinguished warrior, Lieutenant-General Sir Charles Napier, arrived in this city, and was entertained by his counsin, Major-General T. E. Napier, commanding the district, who had all the staff and commanding officers of the garrison to meet him at dinner. On Thursday morning the Gallant General received some visitors at Cruise's, from whence he departed at 11 o'clock, in company with his friend Captain Kennedy; R.E., to Newcastle-house, where he sojourned until this forenoon. At two o'clock the splendid regiments composing this garrison, Royal Horse Artillery, squadron King's Dra goon Guards, 3d, 47tb, and 92d, will be reviewed at the square of the new barrack. _ 'ln the course of the day Sir Charles will receive depu tations from the Mayor, Magistrates, and Masonic Lodge, who is not only the con queror , b u t th e p ac ifi cator o f congratulatory to t h a i d s d r m e s o s s e t s w w o e r r t e h y u n p a e n r i s m o D I u s g s v b o y te w d hly , o t m o be co p n r g e Sinde, where' his subsequent wise administration con verted a race of warlike and predatory tribes into indus trious and peaceable subjects. At seven o'clock the first banquet ever given by the united corps in the garrison of Limerick will bo honoured by Sir Charles, accompanied by Major-General Napier. The chair will be filled by Colonel Cox, the Quartermas ter-General of this district, senior officer, and who has distinguished himself in many a well-fought battle. Upwards of eighty will grace this martial board. It is much to be regretted that the Gallant General cannot avail himself of the many festive and hospitable testimonials intended for him, as we understand he de parts to-morrow for Dublin. The following congratulatory address was presented this day to Lieutenant -General Sir Charles J. Napier, G.C.8., Colonel of the 22d Regiment : " We, the Mayor, Magistrates, and High Sheriff of the city of Limerick, gladly avail ourselves of the unexpected visit of the gallant and distinguished Sir:Charles Napier, hero of Sinde, to congratulate him on his ar rival in this ancient city, an d to express the gratification we feel at the victorious of his late ardu ous campaigns in India, when, in results command of the British troops, he so successfully achieved a noble and memorable conquest which has shed additional lustre on the bravery and attachment of her Majesty's troops, and evidenced the high martial attainments of their chi valrous and courageous general. THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, _DECEMBER 5, 1848. "Limerick, Dec. 2, 1848. " Michael Quin, Mayor ; Henry Watson, J.P. ; Wil liam Roche, ex-M.P., city Limerick, and J.P. ; William Howly, J.P.

The review of the garrison was countermanded at two o'clock, in consequence of the very inclement weather. COL:RI' OF COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 4. (Sittings in Banco.) This was one of the days on which it was appointed to hold sittings in Banco, but in consequence of the Judges having to sit in error in Queen's Bench cases, the Court did not sit in Banco, but the Chief Justice inti.. mated that the full Court would sit to-morrow, and pro ceed with the mew trial paper. (Sittings at Ni Prius in Middlesex, before Chief Justice WiLDE and a Special Jury.) WEST V. BAXENDALE. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Hawkins appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Sergeant Byles and Mr. Willes were for the defendant. The defendant in this case is a member of the firm of Pickford and Co., the well known carriers, and the plaintiff was formerly in the service of Mr. Joseph Baxendale, the defendant's father, at Finchley. The 'action was ono of false imprisoment. From the evidence it appeared that the plaintiff had been in the service of the defendant's ,father for eight years, as coachman, and remained in such service until within a short period previous to the time when the alleged cause of action arose, when he was discharged. On the evening of the 6th of March, the butler, on going into the pantry to fetch some teaspoons, found that a tray, with a quantity o f pl ate w hi c h had been used at dinner, had been taken away. A search was made for the missing property, but it was not found, and the plaintiff was arrested at his residence in Gloucester mews, Portn3an• square, two days afterwards, on suspicion of having stolen the plate. Upon:being arrested he was locked up in the station-house, and from the entry in the charge-sheet it appeared that he was taken there on the Bth of March at a quarter-past nine o'clock at night, "on suspicion of stealing a quantity of silver plate, on the night of the 6th instant, from the pantry in the house of Joseph Baxendale, Esq., in the parish of Finchley," and that the "person giving the charge was Mr. Lloyd Baxendale, the defendant. The next morn ing.the plaintiff was taken before a magistrate, by whom he was discharged from custody. The defendant pleaded a special plea, stating that the plaintiff had been coachman to the defendant's father, from which employment he had been discharged, and that he was acquainted with the premises of that gentle r man. That on the day of the robbery he was seen in the neighbourhood of Finchley, a place where he did not usually reside, or had any lawful business, and that he then endeavoured to avoid being seen or recognised. That on the evening of the felony, and directly before it was committed, he was seen going towards Mr. Baxendale's premises. That a person was heard shortly after the robbery to pass through the lodge gate into the road, whose footstep, in the opinion of the lodge-keeper and his wife, was like that of the plaintiff; and that a person saw somebody resembling the plaintiff pass through the gate in question about that time. That near the lodge dogs were kept, which were accustomed to bark at strangers, but that the said dogs did not bark at the person who passed through the gate aforesaid. Lpon the part of the defendant numerous witnesses were called to prove the various allegations of this, and upon their evidence it was contended that the defendant had reasonable grounds for suspecting that the plaintiff had committed the robbery, and that he was justified in giving him into custody. His LORDSHIP left it to the jury to say whether the defendant bad reasonable grounds for suspecting the plaintiff. If he had, they would find their verdict for the defendant; but if not, it must be for the plaintiff. The jury, after a few minutes' consideration, found a verdict for the plaintiff—damages 251. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, Dec. 4. OUTTERIDGE V. BOWERMAN. This case, which was part heard on Saturday was re sumed and concluded this morning. The plaintiff is a master cooper, carrying on business in Bermondsey, and the defendant is a butcher, living in the same neigh bourhood. • The action was brought to recover damages for injury done to the plaintiff's pony-chaise, in a colli sion with the defendant's cart, charged in the declaration to have been occasioned by the negligence of the defen dant's servant. The plaintiff himself was throws out and much hurt. The jury, after retiring for a few minute?, returned with a verdict for the plaintiff. Damages, 2.4. (Before Middlesex Special Juries.) BEARDEN V. THE LONDON AND WORT/ -WESTERN RAIL WAY COMPANY. Mr. Baines and Mr. Unthank appeared for the plain tiff ; the Attorne3 -General and Mr. Bovill for the defendants. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for an injury of a most serious and melancholy descrip tion, sustained by the plaintiff in consequence of the al leged negligence of the servants of the London and North-Western Railway Company. It appeared that the plaintiff was a child of seven years of age, the son of Mr. Peregrine Dearden, a gentleman living at Birken head, in Cheshire, who sued for the plaintiff in the present action. On the 3d of Augusi Mr. Dearden left Birkenhead, and travelled on the London and North- Western Railway to Euston-square station with his family, which consisted of two female servants and five children, aged from eight years down to a baby in arms. The train was a long one, consisting of 19 or 20 car riages, and arrived at the platform at the Euston-square station, about six o'clock in the evening. At that time the plaintiff was standing at the door of the carriage, with his chin resting on his hand. The train was still in motion, when the door on which the plaintiff was leaning suddenly opened, and he fell out upon the plat form. He was immediately caught by the moving car riages, and dragged down between the platform and the wheels, where he was frightfully crushed in several places. When the first alarm had subsided he was removed to University College Hospital, where it was ascertained that bis right leg was completely smashed, the foot of the other much hurt, and the great toe much shattered. The injuries were so serious as to render it neces sary to amputate the right thigh and the great toe of the other foot. The declaration charged that the door was opened by one of the servants of the company, which claim for was de they hndoemyo f ro m ni pf he e an theirdds ab completet y the i within, osnroservants nnthtdsee vni defen dants,inodtteonb thec h ye ground tawthnhayatot,ot particularsresistedhn eeaf t er d iao orf theirh the had close de n a b e e x e c e a i n in de i o n n p t a e , t n i employ. Mr. Boviu, on behalf of the company, said that the directors had already expressed their deep regret at so unfortunate an occurrence, and the sufferings it must have occasioned the plaintiff; but it was their duty to see that the funds of the undertaking, over which they presided, were not unnecessarily diminished; and as they bad found upon inquiry that their servants were not to blame in the matter, they felt bound to defend the action. The LORD CHIEF BARON having summed up the evi deuce with great minuteness, The jury retired for half an hour, and then returned into court with a verdict for the plaintiff, with damages 600 L then read, fro In which it appeared the defendant's prin cipal object it i h ecoming a member of the committee was, because the 1 )ro jected line was to run very close to his father's (Lor d Berner's) property, and he therefore wished to ha. , , re some control over it. The ATTO: aN EY"GENEIAL then addressed the jury for the defendant;, .and called the following witnesses:— Mr. Thom: is, Brown—l am a solicitor at Uppingham. I was one of thi a local agents of this company. Mr. Sea man called on me, and requested I would be a local ,agent. I re fusod at first. He said there would be no responsibility r, tßnd to prove it he would leave me a gua rantee signed try the plaintiff, from whom he came. He left some wit:a me to circulate. I sent a prospectus to defendant, aeLd I also sent one:of the guarantees to him. Mr. Power, isolicitor, confirmed this evidence. Letters from the plaintiff to Mr. Power were then put in, and the ci re ulars in which the plaintiff requested pay ment of 501. each from Mr. Power's clients in discharge of all liabiliti‘ !s. The guarantee was also put in. It was signed by the , - plaintiff and Mr. Dunstan, :and declared that " they % .coald not call any member of the committee, to be or beco m e, in their personal or individual capacity, liable or cha: rg cable then or thereafter, for any salaries, costs, charge s, matters, or things whatsoever that might be, or had b pen done by plaintiff and Dunstan, or their direction, an d, that they would look solely to the funds of the company for their remuneration." Mr. Sergi ;ant &ZEE replied. Lord DE/ (NAN was about to sum up,the evidence; but was stopped , My The jury, .who said they only wished to know what was his Lor( (s'hip's construction of the guarantee. Lord DEN:MAN read the guarantee, and said in his opinion it applied to the short line as well as the original project, and that it was not, as was contended, a gua rantee only against the solicitor's charges, but against all charges generally which might be incurred by the company. The jury thereupon immediately returned a verdict for the defendant. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GRANTHAM.—The survey of the Great Northern Railway is rapidly proceeding in this neighbourhood. To those who know the locality it may be interesting to state that the line crosses Spittlegate-hill at the termina tion of the white posts and rails, takes down the newly erected fever hospital at the corner of the union -house premises, through Peacecliffe-hill, and skirting Jericho Wood, proceeds in the parish of Hougham towards Newark. It is a remarkable circumstance that the sur veyor:was enabled to pass his line thr oug h the Peace cliffe plantation without cutting down a tree. It is ex pected the navvies will be at work in this n e i g hb ourhood w ithin four months.—Lincoln Mercury. WEST FLANDERS RAILWAY.—Gross traffic for the month of October, 1848, 1,0651. Bs. 4d. This amount includes the sum received by Government for the com pany's account. EASTERN COUNTIES AND THE SHIPWRECKED GER MAN EMIGRANTS.—The directors of the Eastern Coun ties brought to London, gratis, 100 of the German emi grants who were shipwrecked off the coast at Harwich, in the Burgundy. Had it not been for the facility afforded by the railway company, they must have begged their way to London. The Consul-General of Saxony and the Elanse Towns has forwarded an acknowledgment to the directors, expressive of the liberality thus exhi bited, as an act of sympathy and fellowship which will be felt throughoutreciated by their countrymen in Germany and the world. SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY. —The traffic for the week ending the 24th November was: For passengers, 1,361/. ls. Id.; Great Western Railway, 4741. 45.; South Devon Railway (including 15 1 / . 15s. 4d. for goods), 1,039/. 2s. sd.

The viaduct consists of 21 arches, each of 60 feet span. OPENING Of THE SAMBRE AND MEUSE FROM MAR- The weather continues to be cold, with occasional strong winds; and between Saturday night and yester day morning a sprinkling of snow fell all over the city. In the evening we had several hours of battering rain, accompanied by heavy gusts of wind. The latter con tinued during the night.—Caledonian Mercury. TUB WEATHER.—We have had a week of vari able weather. At the commencement of the week the air was unusually mild, but on Thursday the temperature fell considerably, and the weather has since been damp, raw, and gloomy. Satu day was a day of frequent squalls, with hail and rain. During the night and the ear:y hours of yesterday morning the weather was exceedingly boisterous, the wind coming in sudden and violent gusts, bringing tor rents of hail and rain. We have not heard of any disasters among the shipping on any of the coasts i❑ our immediate neighbourhood, but several vessels which sailed hence on Friday were compelled, by the threaten ing indications of the atmosphere, to put back.—Liver pool Albion. THE CHOLERA.—The returns of new cases here have for the last week been very variable. On Thurs day the number was 17—Friday, 12—Saturday, 6 yesterday, 13. The deaths during the four days, 28— recoveries, 6—remaining, 134. From Leith two cases were reported on Saturday; the patients whose recoveries had not been reported were all visited in the course of the week, when it was found that the number remaining was only six, to which is to be added the two above stated. It is therefore likely that almost all of those cases re ported as remaining in Edinburgh are recovered. From the county there are, we are hippy to say, few cases re ported. At Gilmerton; on Thursday, three new cases; at Loanhead on the same day, one case; at Dalkeith on Friday, one case, the individal having since recovered.— Caledonian Mercury. _ _ _ THE BRECON kURDES.—On Monday last a man answering the description given:of the murderer, Thomas Williams, and who on being interrogated as to the mode of his arrival in this town and his previous occupation, prevaricated considerably, was taken into custody and detained until communication could be had with the authorities in Brecon. He evidently preterds to be an Irishman, and gives the name of Jerry Maloney; but th e account he readers of himself is so extremely unsatisfac tory as fully to justify his detention, even supposing him not to be the party for whose apprehension a large re ward has been offered. Yesterday evening, however, a reply was received from Brecon, and Maloney was dis charged from custody, he not having a scar on the left cheek, which the alleged murderer is marked with.— Welehman.

Sir Robert Inglis obtained for the widow of Bishop Heber, by the sale of the Journal 5,0001. MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—At Dingle, on Wed nesday, a canoe was upset, when the crew, consisting of four, met a watery grave ; there being a tremendous surf on the beach, there could be no possibility of saving themselves. The names of the sufferers are John Keener, single ; Daniel Bourke, married ; John Callaghan, married ; Michael Kennedy, married. The wife of the latter being about June, 1841, left a widow, her former husband and oldest son being drowned a short distance from the Coast Guard watch• house, she has been deprived of her second husband by drowning also, and what makes the affliction greater, her father suffered a similar fate some years since. They hoisted a small lug sail, when a squall took them unawares, and left them immersed in an angry element outside the mouth of the harbour.—Kerry Examiner, EXPENSIVE OTSTERS,—One day last week, when the jury empanelled to value certain premises for the Wide -street Commissioners retired to their room to con sider their verdict they found a lunch of oysters spread for their use. Previous to leaving the jury-box they agreed to give a certain claimant a particular amount. They were just sitting down to their oysters, when a point was raised by counsel which resulted in the Re corder recalling the jury. No sooner had they returned , into court than the claimant slipped into the jury-room, and on the jury returning they found him swallowing their oysters, for which they punished him by docking from the amount of their verdict ss. for each oyster he had swallowed. On reckoning, they found seventeen shells emptied, and accordingly deducted 41.55. from their intended award.— Cork Constitution. LAW INTELLIGENCE. - - COURT OF QUEEYS BENCH, Dec. 4. JARna v. WILSON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who is a solicitor at Walsall, against the defendant, the Hon. Mr. Wilson, of Uppingham, to recover 6161., claimed to be due to the plaintiff for moneys actually disbursed by him on account of a railway originally projected from Wolverhampton to Norwich, but which project was sub sequently limited to a railway from Harborough to Wallington. The defendant pleaded non assumpsit payments, and that his promise had been obtained by fraud and misrepresentation. M son, appeared for the plaintiffW;oarnddswthoertAh, tt a o n rn d e M y- r G . e P n h er ip ai and M I. Mr. . Sergeant Jones for Shee ,th M r defendant. Henry Tucker produced the registration of the Down ham Market, Swaffham, and Wallington Railway Com pany, dated November 5, 1845. Also a registration dated January 5, 1846, of the change of the name of the com pany to the Harborough and Wallington Railway Company. Cross-examined--The book shows the change of names from the commencement. It does not show that one project was part of the other. Mr. Robert Abrahams--I am a civil engineer. I re member surveying for the Harborough and Wallington Railway in the latter part of 1845. The line was about ten miles long, with branches. I attended on the 9th February, 1845, a meeting at the Sussex Hotel, Bouverie street, of several gentlemen connected with the railway. Ido not know if the defendant was there. I made a re port to a meeting of the promoters, but cannot say if it was on the 14th of November. I afterwards completed the survey. The plans were deposited in time for Par liament. I received 2001. from plaintiff for the survey, soon after the work was commenced. I afterwards ap plied to plaintiff for a further sum. I obtained a bill from him for .3001., for three months. Before it became due I applied for further money, and commenced pro ceedings against plaintiff: This bill was not paid. My claim was 932/. 13s. I afterwards received, I think, 2504 making 4501. altogether. This was about twelve months since. Cross-examined—The bill produced was dishonoured. I was employed by plaintiff, and rather doubted his se curity. That was one reason I wanted the money. I sued plaintiff. Frederick William Seaman—l am a. solicitor at Wal sall. I was clerk to plaintiff. I attended a meeting of the company on the 3d or 4th of November, 1845, at the Sussex Hotel, Bouverie-street. Defendant was there. lie took part in the proceedings. It was discussed what part of the line should be surveyed. The defendant was appointed vice-chairman of the managing committee at the first meeting. Mr. Abrahams was appointed engi neer at a meeting when defendant was 'present. Ido not recollect the date. Mr. Abrahams was directed to sur vey the Harborough and Wallington line, and prepare plans for the purpose] of going to Parliament. The plaintiff was present, and instructions were given to him to prepare to go to Parliament. Cross-examined—Plaintiff, myself, and Dunstan got up the line. I never heard him say that be had under taken to bear all the expenses, and looked to the calls only. My salary from him was 801. a year. Plaintiff charged 51.55. a day for his attendance, 21. 2s. a day for wine, and 41. 103. a day for assistance. We had four or five assistants. Re-examined-51. ss. a day was at the time a usual charge for a solicitor,' and 21. 2s. a day for a person in my position.- The line I assisted in getting up was the long line ; the short line was adopted after the defendant joined. Mr. Dunstan—l was the secretary of this company. I was present at the meeting in November, when Mr. Abrahams made his report. I was present when de fendant was elected vice-chairman of the committee of management. It was on November 3. I remember letters of allotment being sent out. They never pro duced any effect. Circulars were sent out on January 23. One was sent to defendant. A meeting was held on February 2. Defendant and plaintiff were present. Plaintiff produced a statement of the liabilities of the company. The amount was stated to be upwards of 2,0001. Plaintiff told the :committee ho had paid i Abrahams 2001., and given a bill for 3001. ; and f tho committee would pay the liabilities of the company, he would not charge for his own services. Defendant then told plaintiff to 'make the best terms he could with Abrahams. Defendant made a calculation on the sup position that each committeeman subscribed what the expense to e ac h wou ld b e . S evera l o th e rs did the same. It was stated that it would be about 401. each if all subscribed. Cross-examined—l was a p romo ter of the original line. I signed thi s c i rcu l ar w i t h t h e plaintiff. I cannot tell how many I signed. I acted as secretary pro tem. At the meeting of November 14, the commit ee gave me orders to rigister in the name of the liarborough and Wallington Railway Company; Several letters between plaintiffjand defendant Imo CHIENNE TO WALCOURT.—The opening of this section of the Sambre and Meuse, the chief trunk communica tion from Belgium and Germany to the north-eastern provinces of France, took place on Thursday last. The total extent of railway thus opened up from the Govern ment line at Marchienne to Walcourt, with branches to Morialme and Laneffe, is 25 miles through the richest mineral districts of Belgium. The Belgian Government having certified its fitness for opening, alter inspection by the Minister of Public Works, the traffic in passen gers and the staple products of the districts, such as coal, coke, and iron, which is very considerable, com menced on Saturday. Upwards of 3,000 tons of zinc ore, a mineral extensively worked at Samart and Sautour, near Philipville, were ready for conveyance to the banks of the Sambre, for smelting. The chief engineering works are the Laury and Ham-sur-Heure tunnels. Some delay in the prosecution of the works on the MorialtrA branch was occasioned in consequence of the mineral proprietors claiming heavy indemnities for the damage they alleged would be done to the mines by the railway passing over them. There has been an excess on the cost of this first section of 73,3291. owing to the earth work having exceeded all original calculation, and which is attributed by the engineer-in -chief, M. de Grandvoir, to the hard nature and treacherous character of the rocks that had to be encountered. The Sambre and Meuse is the first railway in Belgium of any extent conceded, constructed, and worked by British capitalists, all the other lines being the property of the State. ABERDEEN RAILWAY.—The directors of this com pany have issued a report and financial statement re specting the position of their line. A small portion of the railway, consisting of twelve miles of the main line and six miles of a branch to Brechin, has been open for seven months ending the 31st August, and has been worked in conjunction with the Forfar and Arbroath. The receipts for the seven months have been, including 3,0004 for carrying the mails, 17,015/., and the expendi ture 9,025/. The directors confidently expect to be able to open early next year other twenty-five miles of the line, bringing it within twelve miles of Aberdeen, and have made an arrangement with the Edinburgh and Northern, the North British, and the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Companies, by means of which they will obtain the necessary funds on favourable terms for.com pleting without further interruption the whole of the line to Aberdeen, thus giving an uninterrupted commu nication by railway from London to Aberdeen, a distance of more than 500 miles. The directors entertain the same confident opinion respecting the remunerative cha racter of the line which they had on former occasions expressed, and consider its position and prospects im proved by the arrangements with the southern companies. The amount received in calls is 784,8471., and, including the amount received on loans, the total sum expended on the line is 907,4661. The three companies already men tioned are to advance 276,0001., which, with 40,000/. to be received in arrears of calls and the sum which the company has power to borrow, will complete the entire line at a sum not exceeding 1,450,000/., or less than 24,000/. per mile, which, the directors conceive, will be less than any other equally important trunk line has ever been constructed for. Including the Arbroath and Forfar, the Aberdeen line will be 75 miles in length. The company has no liabilities of any kind, with the exception of the Arbroath and Forfar line, 16 miles in length, which is leased at 5i per cent. on capital of 220,0004 but the profits already more than exceed the guarantee.—Scotsman. THE BELFAST AND BALLYMENA RAILWAY. The half-yearly meeting of this company, in which so many persons are interested as shareholders in this country, took place in Belfast on Thursday. The''report 'showed that the total half-year's receipts amounted to 12,358/. Sc. 10d.; the working expenses to 5,317/. Ifs. 5d.; the interest on loans to 3,0361.45. 3d.; leaving a balance in favour of revenue account of 4,004/. 10s. 2d.; out of which the directors recommend a dividend of 10s. per share, payable on the 14th day of De cember. The adoption of the report was moved by the chairman, and seconded by Mr. Jackson, an English shareholder. Mr. Joseph Maunder, seconded by Mr. Beloe, both of Liverpool, moved an amendment impugn ing the management of the line, and authorising the ap pointment of a committee to scrutinize the discrepancies between the estimates and the actual traffic. Thera were, however, fifty. five for the original motion and but four against it. Mr. G. Macartney defended the direc tors in a lengthy speech ; and after considerable bad gering of Mr. Maunder to induce him to apologize for some statements he had made, a vote of confidence in the board was carried. AMIENS AND BOULOGNE.—At a meeting of the pro prietors in Paris, on Saturday, the proposed modification of the statutes bearing on the number of the directors who should comprise the board of direction, was delibe rated upon and settled not to exceed eleven. With the exception of the permanent works, through the fortifica tions at Abbeville, and the passage at the river Somme, where the structures are only temporary, the line from Amiens to Boulogne is completed, and at work through out its whole length. WEST FLANDERS.—A meeting of the foreign share holders was held at Bruges last week, in conformity with the statutes, when the proceedings were as near as possible a rehearsal, as regards the reading of the report and resolutions with those at the meeting of the English shareholders. The traffic from Ostend to Namur, Liege, and West Flanders, over the Tournay and Jurbise line, just opened, is said to be considerable. A FLOATING RAILROAD.—Our railways have been laid in cutting and on embankments, through tunnels and over viaducts, and by the genius of a Stephenson they are actually being carried over arms of the sea, where ships in full sail can pass beneath them. While this daring work, however, can be effected where the width, as at the Menai Straits, is only some 500 feet, such great tidal estuaries as the Forth and Tay will not admit of it. As these Friths lie across the route of the great east coast line of railways, which will shortly extend from London to Aberdeen, it became extr eme ly d es i ra bl e t h at some means should b e devised by which those seas might be crossed without the troublesome necessity of passen gers and goods changing carriages. We are happy to say that a plan has been devised for carrying the trains bodily across the Tay at Broughty Ferry, where it is about a mile and a half broad. Mr. Robert Napier is at present building, in his yard at Govan, a floating rail way for the Edinburgh and Northern Railway Company. It is being built of iron, 180 feet in length, and 35 in breadth. It is to have three lines of rails on deck, so as to enable it to take on a railway train of 500 feet in length, and is to be propelled by engines of 250-horse power. As the main line of railway on each side of the Tay is considerably above the level of the sea, stationary engines on either side of the Frith are to be employed to draw up or lower the trains. This railroad steam boat is expected to be launched in a few weeks. In the meantime, and before the above improvement is com pleted, the Edinburgh and Northern Company have made arrangements for having their cattle and heavy goods for the English markets carried by the Dundee and Perth line, and thence through Fife, and by the east coast lines to England, on very moderate terms.—Perth shire Courier. LONDON AND NORTH WESTERN AND LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE.—We have to announce that the Lon don and North- Western Company and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company have entered into mutual traffic arrangements, the effect of which will be to immediately transfer all the traffic of the latter to the Leeds and Dewsbury line. We understand, indeed, that this line will be exclusively worked by the Lancashire and York shire Company until the opening throughout of the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway, when the London and North Western Company will assume the working. —Herapailes Journal. GR? AT NORTHERN.—It is said that Mr. Beckett Denison, the chairman, has resigned, owing to a propo sition of his being overruled at the board; and that overtures have been made to Mr. Hudson to join the board. But we shall, perhaps, be enabled to give,the rights of the rumour next week.—lbid. „„ GLASGOW, DU MFRIES , AND CARLISLE.— T h i s Mnt. pany have intimated that, after the Ist of December next, till transfers of their stock must describe it as the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle Consolidated Stock, end be transferred as stock.—Kilmarnock Journal.

Some large Here fords reached 141 to 14 guineas each; Devons nearly the same; moderate beasts, from two years to thirty months old, went at from ill to 12/ ditto; second-rate ditto, 10/ to 10110 s ditto; finest North Wales breed, at from 81 to 91 ditto; others at from 61 lOs to 71 los ditto; a few Scotch breed went at from 81 to 10/ ditto; a great many were sold. Several large dairymen purchased best cows and heifers freely, some up to 181, others 161 each; hei fers in calf at 131 to '5/ ditto; some at from ill to 121 ditto; stock calves were sold at from 30s up to 6/ each, Horses were of dull sale, the chief part being of very in ferior description and aged.
