T HE WEDDING -DAY SUIT' Some time has elapsed, since I ventured to render A mark of respect to the feminine gender ; And dolibtleits the ladies will thick it high time That the poet of MOSES should give them a rhyme. Well, it happened ono day, when the weather was calm, That George and Jemima walked oat arm in arm, And began to converse (as you'll guess from the heading) Concerning a suitable suit for the wedding. " My (War," said the gentleman, " where should I go " For an elegant wedding-day suit—do you know ? " I'm aware of your judgment ii all that you view, " So I'm anxious, my love, to be guided by you." " Well as that is the case," said his miss, with a smile, "I shall fix upon tailors renowned for their style; " By all means, dear George, let your wedding suit be "One of MOSES and SON'S, ifyou wish to please tne. "I. have seen many fashions, but certainly none, " In any way equal to MOSES and SON. " The ease, awl the fit, and the general grace. "Cause a very material change to take place. " I was th , nking of giving a hint such as this, " But I feared your high spirit would take it amiss." "Oh no," rejoined George, " I may candidly say, "That to your better judgment I always give way ; " And believe, my dear, our opinions are one, " With regard to the dress of E. MOSES and SON." N.B.—E. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their pre sent Stock of juvenile attire. The designs arc elegant and unique, and the workmanship and materials are suck as to command liver • sal approbation, while at the same time the prices are unusually mo derate. _ _ LIST OF PRICES.

With Practical Observations no the Use and Abuse of Instruments in the Treatment of Urethral Dis eases, showing that the unnecessary employment of instruments is a frequent exciting cause of stricture, and that a• want of practical knowledge and manual dexterity in their use, when necessary, Is the source of most of the severe, long-protracted, and complicated cases of that disorder so fatal} , prevalent. The whole illustrated by nu- MOMS cases. Wt•_ A R R I A G E. L. One half the wend are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em titter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the, indissoluble, regret un eemprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set tlement. Donour and justicedemaad that health should form au item in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er ceglect woand more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CITLYERWELL'S little M EMOIRS 'On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is. each (by cost, in Stamps, la. 6d. each). Let• no imaginatively refined, er prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them. They are not intended certainly for mero idle curiosity, but for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or together, aro a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other ittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each, by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob servance of the maxims he would inculeate—to do unto others as he would be done unto—to live alter nature's laws—and to keep always on the "sunny side of the way."

CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS.) Louisa Jarvis was indicted for the wilful rourdt;rof her female child, Mary Ann, at Shaftesbury,in this .county, on the 27th of March last. Mr: Hodges appeared for the prosecution. No coma sel was instructed for the prisoner; but at the request of the Learned Judge, Mr: Stock took the depositions, and promised to watch the case on her behalf. It appeared from the evidence that, oa the 13th of March last, the prisoner went into the Shaftesbury union, being then in a state of pregnancy. On the 16th of that month she was delivered of a female bas tard child. The mother and the child went on well for several days. The mother, however, refused to suckle the child, and it was in consequence brought up by hand. Oa the night of the 0 7th of March the child cried excessively, and in a most unnatural manner, as if in great pain. The mother was in conse quence again applied to to stickle it, but she resolutely refused to do so. On the following morning the appear ance of the child was muck altered. She bad a mark under the left ear as if she had been pinched. On the Sunday after the poor child died. The opinion of the medical witnesses was, that the death was caused by con gestion of the lungs. After the inquest which was holden upon the body, the governor of the workhouse went into the room where the prisoner was. The in .happy woman observed to him, "I did it, sir." He thereupon asked her how she did it; she replied, "I tried to squeeze it with my fi ngers, but as I cou ld no t manage that, I knelt upon it with my knees and did for it At this time she was in a great state of excitement, crying and tearing her-hair.- This excitement continued to in crease, and in a day or two afterwards it became neces sary to send her to a lunatic asylum, where she re• mained until- the day before her trial. It was further proved that there h a d beet - insanity in her family; and the surgeon said that her face bore indications of here ditary insanity. The prisoner was acquitted on the ground of insanity. OXFORD CIRCUIT.— Worcester, July 21. CROWN COURT.—(Befor© Mr. Baron Roux.)

The business of the assizes for this county commenced this morning, beforo Mr. Baroa.Parke, in the Nisi I'rius Court, and Mr. Justice Maule, in the Crown Court.

Two of the prisoners have been committed fur arson, one for burglary, four for cutting and wounding, one for rape, one for placing obstrUctions across a railway, and the rest for offences of minor gravity. William Ward was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury. Slr. - Palmer. and Mr. Burcham conducted the prosecu tion; Mr. Couch defended the prisoner. The perjury charged was committed in a paltry case in the County Court. The prisoner was found Guilty. Sentence deferred. Tho other cases were not of general interest. HOME ClRCol7.—Chelusford, July 22. CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justin! COLTXAN and a Common Jury). ROBERTS, CLERK, V. TUCKER, CLERK. This was an action brought by the Rev. Mr. Roberts, the stipendiary c u ra te of St. Botolph'a, Colchester, against the Rev. Mr. Tucker, the incumbent of that parish, to recover damages for a breach of contract. The declaration alleged that an agreement was entered into hetweedthe parties, by which, in consideration of the plaintiff duly performing the duties appertaining to his office of curate, and to the satisfaction of the Bisbop, &c., the defendant undertook to pay him a certain sti pend derivable from the Queen Anne's Bounty fund, and also to take the necessary steps required to be adopted by the incumbent of , a parish to obtain from a certain society, called the Curates' Aid .Society, an additional allowance of 701. per annum,. and that the defendant ne glected to perform this latter portion of his agreement, and consequently the plaintiff had been deprived of the additional stipend, and this action was brought to re cover the amount of that stipend for the period for which it had not been paid through the alleged neglect of the defendant. There were several pleas put upon the record by the defendant. There were several pleas put upon the record by the defendant, but the principal one was a denial that any such agreement as the one alleged, in the declaration had been made by him. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Ogle were for the plaintiff, and Mr. Montagu Chambers and Mr. Peacock for the defendant. The case having occupied the Courtla considerable time,' Mr. Justice COLTMAN said he had no doubt the agree ment came within the statute of frauds. . There might also be considered a doubt whether the plaintiff had proved the contract he had set up, bat it was nut net cessary to discuss that point as he was clearly of opinion that upon the former point he must direct is nonsuit. The plaintiff was accordingly nonsuited. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—York, July 21. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice Enix.) Joseph Redgwick, Richard Lodge, and George Mathews, were charged with having feloniously cut and wounded Noah Hook, with intent to do him grievous bodily harm. Mr. Overend and Mr. Hardy were for the prosecu tion ; Mr. Joseph Pollock defended Redgwick and Mathews, and Mr. Price defended Lodge. The prosecutor, Noah Hook, a gamekeeper to Mr. T. W. Beaumont, of Breton Park, near Wakefield, stated that whilst he was on watch, in company with other keepers, on the night of the 21st of May last, be heard a gun fired in a wheat field near to where they were watching. On looking into the field the watchers saw three or four men, whom they pursued, the prosecutor being the most active and foremost in the pursuit. When they approached to within twenty yards of the men, they stopped and pointed their guns at the prosecutor, but they did not fire. The men then turned round and ran off, closely followed by the prosecutor and his com panions. When at a distance of seven or eight yards from the objects of their pursuit, the men stopped and made a furious attack upon Hook and the watchers with their gub-stock, hitting them upon the side of their heads, and thereby inflicting several dangerous wounds. Redg wick was taken into custody upon the spot. Mathews and Lodge escaped, but in their haste their gun-stocks were left behind, and were identified as belonging to them. _ . The Jury,- after a very protracted consultation, re turned a verdict of Guilty against all the prispners, and they were sentenced to be transported for fourteen years each. By F. B.

DIABOL ICAL ATTEMPT TO BLOW UP A HOUSE. SHEFFIELD, SATURDAY MORNlNG.—Yesterday morn ing, between one and two o'clock, Hermitage-street was the scene of another alarming explosion, which has caused an extraordinary sensation to prevail, not merely in the immediate neighbourhood, but throughout the whole district, on account of the diabolical motives of tie actors. It appears that at the time previously stated arousedA 1r s. iN l a from rple s , her r e slumbers wife e e o r f a joiper's tool maker, was by a loud explosion, accom panied with the smashing of window glass. She mediately jumped out of bed, and took her children up, when she saw a flame shoot through the aperher - in the window shutters. Having alarmed brother, who was sleeping in an adjoining room, they went to the front and shouted " murder!" The night watchman immediately repaired to the place, when he found three men running away. He chased them, and having laid hold of one the other two came up, knocked the watchman down, and rescued his prisoner. Upon getting in front of the premises three ginger beer bottles, charged with powder, were found lying on the ground, and about two pounds of strong blasting powder. The glass in the window was broken, and it was quite evident that only one bottle had exploded, and that had fortu nately not entered the bed-room, on account of the win dow-shutters being partially closed. had the three bottles entered the building, and exploded, every person therein must have been blown to pieces.

The sermon was preached by his G.tce the 'ltch bishop of Canterbury.' ' • MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—Lincoln, July 21. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice PerrEsoN.) Elizabeth Garner, a little girl of pleasing appearance, only thirteen years of age, was c a pitally indicted for administering to Mary Smith, her mistress, a certein deadly poison, to wit, arienic, with intent to kill and murder her. Mr. Wildman, assisted by Sir Eardley Wilmot, con ducted the prosecution; Mr. Flowers appeared as coun sel for the prisorer. It appeared that the girl hal left her parental home for the first time, and entered into the service of the pros( cutrix, a bedridden old woman, residing at Calceby, in this county. She became uneasy in her place, not because she was ill-used at all, but simply because she was unhappy at leaving and being away f rom her home, and owe day finding some fagwater ( a m i x ture containing weenie, soft soap, and water, and used to destroy vermin on sheep) in a jar i n ; cupboard, she Wok half a cup full and poured it into a jug of milk she had just fetched from a farmhouse close by for her mistress, who drank some of it from the jug The mistress soon vomited a good deal, and Mr. ICilby,. the surgeon, was sent for. The mistress ga ve him the remainder of the milk in the jug, and he analyzed it, and found it to contain arsenic. He analyzed the vomit also without detecting any, but it was not the first. The vomiting and timely remedies used probably saved the poor woman's life, and the surgeon stated that she was now out of danger, though still suffering from the effect. The only evidence to prove that she knew that she had administered poison, was her own confession to the sur geon, made in the presence of the proseeutrix and of Mrs. Brunton, a neighbour. The surgeon having first stated that he held out to her no inducement to confess, the confession was admitted as follows: -_«I knew it was poison; I believed it would kill the woman ; I gave it her to be set free from m y p lace. Mrs. Brunton, the neighbou r, bein g called to corro borate, stated that the surge on did say, "it would b e better for her if she would confess." The counsel for the prisoner then objected to the con fession being received as evidence. but, The Learne d JUDGE, after conferrin g with the Lord Chief Justice, determined to keep the surgeon's evidence b e f o re the jury , ' and reserve the point, if necessary. Mr. FLOWE RS having addressed the jury f or th e defence, His LORDSHIP summed up the ease to the jury, ob oe irre s p ons ib le cri minal! serving that bet ween the age of t _seyen a n d f ourteen years an infant was presumed ; but then malice will supply the deficiency of age ; and it was a question for the jury whether th ere was hero sufficient evid ence of malice to supply it, and to satisfy them that there existed a mischievous discre tion, and a consciousness of the nature of the act done. They must take into consideration what she h a d sa i d to the surgeon, and if that h ad heat improperly received, she would have the benefit of it. He certainly should not have received the evidence if what the surgeon had in the first instance said to her been previously disclosed. The jury almost immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. Ills Lonnsnir then feelingly addressed the prisoner, and concluded thus—Senteece of death will be recorded only against you, and I shal l recommend h er Majesty, who, I have no doubt will attend to it, that your life be spared, though upon whit terms I cannot say."

JULY 24, 1818. for a highway robbery on that occasion, accompinied with violence. There were several counts in the indictment, to meet every conceivable suggestion as to the time of the rob bery, whether before or after death. Mr. Willmore and Mr. Denison conducted the case on the part of the Ciown; Mr. Macaulay and Mr. Adams appeared as counsel for the prisoner. Mr. WILLMORE opened the case for the prosecution, and narrated the circumstances at great length; but as they have been brought repeatedly before public notice already, in connexion with the charge of murder founded upon the same case, and which was tried at the lea assizes, it is unnecessary to repeat them again here. Numerous witnesses fully supported the Learned Counsel's statement. We subjoin the evidence of a new witness. _ _ _ William Fell.—l am a bricklayer. I came in the lat ter end of December to Kirton. It was several weeks before this occurred. I mean the latter end of the first shooting month (September). Was living there with a woman. On Saturday, the fore end of the day, I had been at the Greyhound Inn. Went home afterwards. Was at two or three public-houses in the course of the day. I dent to bed at about seven or eight o'clock. I had some words with her. I left her some time about the middle of the night. I went down hill as far as the Gainsborough-road, turned to, my left, and went down Oars) leading to the Gainsborough• road. I laid myself down by a haystack. It was a round one. , I don't know whether I had any sleep or not. I heard a dog bark that appeared to be very savage. There was a hedge between me and the road. I got over a hedge, and went into another field, and laid myself down and crept full-length on. the ground to the hedge by the road. I saw that man (the prisoner) and another scuffling. Travis hit the other with a stick on the head and the man seemed to. fall back into the hedge. 'Davis fell down upon him, and after they had been dawn some time, I heard something like coin rattle. Travis then went back towards Kirton. The man said, " Travis, if you rob, don't murder me." Then Travis, after he had got a few yards, turned round and downed him again, and after they had been down some time Cie man's throat seemed to rattle as if he was being choked, and there was a stamping or kicking of a foot and leg. Then Travis rubbed his hand upon the grass or ground, I can't say which. He then rubbed his hand upon a gate or stone. He then went away off towards Kirtor. I got over the hedge, and went across two or three fields. and then came back into the lane through the same gap I got through before. I walked as far as the Gainsborough-road, didn't know where I was, and stopped to think a bit, and found myself right opposite to Travis's house; and I went across their stack yard, and into a sort of greenhouse or summerhouse. When I had been tilde five or six minutes Travis came up to the door. I don't know whether he knockfd or not, bat there was a rattling, and there soon came a woman down, and she let him in. I stopped there a good way on to an hour, to see if he'd come out again. I then went home, and went to bed, and when I'd been in the house the value of twenty minutes or half en hour, the clock struck five. I did not go before the co roner. I had known Travis pretty nearly from my first going there. . Cross-examined by Mr. MAcatrwor—l came from Grimsby to Kirton. I did not live there a year. Before that time I lived at a place called . Barrow, with a master bricklayer. Before that time I came from Hull. I don't know what felony is. I never was tried for stealing a watch. I've been taken up for two or three drunken sprees. Mr. Wright and I were drinking together. He didn't know what had become of it (the watch). I was not tried for it. I was tried for stealing some money from a man named Osborne, at Louth, within a day or two of my coming there. I've spent two years and eight months at Leeds. A place (named) six miles from Louth, is my native place. I had a dog with me. He didn't bark. Ho lay by my side. I wasn't prepared to go before the coroner or the magistrates. I bad a swelled tace'and a black eye, and some blood about one., I told George Travis (the prisoner's brother) and his wife about this. I never worked for a Mr. George Travis. fie is a master bricklayer. ' I have not tried to get money from Mrs. Travis. I have had a sovereign from them, and never worked for him. I have also had a sovereign from the prisoner. Before Travis was com mitted, this time, I was examined two or three times before the magistrates. The magistrates did not say that unless I told a different tale I should be transported. When I was taken before the magistrates, I had about me the account of the coroner's inquest, cut out of a newspaper ; not an account of the last trial here. I saw Travis strike him with a stick. It was a very heavy blow. I have a song-book which I borrowed of young Spencer, the baker, and it had Travis's name in it. I had several knives in my house. I knew that a reward of 1001. had been offered. I saw handbills about the 100/. reward. It struck five o'clock twenty minutes after I got in. The woman was asleep. I put my mark to what was written down when I was examined before the magistrate. I did not say' I could'nt write. I wasn't asked. The gentleman told me to put my mark, .so I put it. If you were to tell me to write my name I should write it. The case for the prosecution having closed, Mr. MACAULAY liildressed the jury for the defenc. His LORDSHIP, in summing up the case, appeared to assume that the jury would attach no weight whatever to the evidence of tho man Fell. The jury, in less than five minutes, returned a verdict of Guilty, and the prisoner was thereupon sentenced to transportation for the term of his natural life. This terminated the criminal business of thesejassizes, that on the civil side having been concluded shortly before five o'clock. [PRICE •SD.

(SATURDAY.) DUBLIN (CITY). This Committee (Lord Robert Grosvenor, ( .74hairman) re-assembled at eleven o'clock to-day, and proo sixied with the scrutiny, into the votes for Mr. Reynolds. , The ob jections were for non-rvgistratiou of the vot era within the time limited by statute. Nine votes were struck off. The majority of Mr. Reynolds is now reduce+ 1- from 104 to 15 votes. 'Adjourned until eleven o'clock on Monday (this day). NORTH CHESHIRE. The Select Committee appointed to try the petition against the return of Mr. Cornowall Legh, .at the late election, met for the first time to-day at elev en o'clock. It is composed of the following Hon. Members:—Lord Courtenay (Chairman), Right Hen. Sidney- Herbert, Lieutenant-Colonel Boldero, Mr. Mangles, awl Sir Do Lacey Evans. Counsel for the sitting Member, Mr. Mereatether and Mr. Cole; agent, Mr. Cole. Counsel for the petitioners, Mr. Sergeant Kinglake, Mr. Edwin James, and Mr rhinn; agent, Mr. Coppock. The petition alleges bribery and treating. The peti tioners have abandoned the charges of bribery, and in tend to rely only upon those of treating. Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE opened the case, and argued that the statutes against treating (7 William 111. and 5 and 6 Vic.) were equally applicable to counties and boroughs. After the writ, with the return and the poll-books, had been put in, the petitioners proceeded with evi dence of agency of various persona on behra of the sitting Member. Mrs. Bagulay, landlady of the Red Lion, at Hale, near Altrincham, was called to prove treating. The witness (who was not cross-examined) stated that several persons delivered refreshment tickets to her, and were supplied with dinners on the first day of polling. Had not been paid for these tickets, and did not know to whom she was to apply for payment. Could not tell what was written oa the tickets, and had given them to her son, with whom she believed they still remained. At four o'clock the Committee adjourned until twelve on Monday (this day). NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. DEVONPORT, FRIDAY.—The Indefatigable, 50, to be laucbed on Thursday the 27th instant, from this yard, is built entirely on the plan of Mr. W. Edge, master ship wright here, and appears to be generally considered and admitted the finest frigate of her class in her Majesty's service. Her dimensions are as follows: ft. in. Length on lower deck ... ... 180 0 The keel for tonnage ... ... 147 Bfr Breadth, extreme ... ... 51 6 Depth in the hold ... ... 16 6 Burden in tons, No. 2,043. A.RMADIENT. Quarter-deck and forecastle ... 22 guns, 32-pounders. Mmain deck, shot or shells 8 inches diameter •-• ... 28 ditto, 56 ditto. Total armament ... 50 ditto. Tho usual preparations, fitting up seats, 80., for the accommodation of the p u bli c, are b e i ng rap idly coin pleted. THE SQUADRON OF EXERCISE. TORBAY, JULY 20.—The squadron continueslas much an object of interest as ever, and vast numbers of people flock on board the ships, notwithstanding the unfavour able nature of the weather, which has changed from fair to foul, and a gale is this day blowing from W.S.W., of no ordinary character. A trial was made to-day with the Prince Re g ent, 90 guns, Capt a i n W. F . M art i n; the Bellerophon, 80, Captain R. L. Baines, C. 8.; the Blenheim, 55 (450 b• p.), Captain Chads, C. 8 .; he Amphion, 34. Captain Williams: and the Tweed corvette, 18, Captain Lord Francis Russell. The latter was sent ahead by signal about six miles, the others being ordered to round her. The Prince Regent rounded the station-vessel first; secondly, the Bellerophon; then the Amphion; and lastly the Blenheim. All the vessels then made sail on the starboard tack, and returned to the bay, when the Blenheim and Amphion lost their jib-booms, and the Bellerophon her jib, which was rent in ribbons by the force of the gale. The Prince Regent, Bellerophon and Tweed arrived at the anchorage together. The Blenheim was detained some time to get a new boom fitted. The Amphion anchored last, but about sunset. The above was considered the only real trial any sec tion of the squadron had had, the weather being pecu liarly suitable for testing heavy ships. The Blenheim is a surprising craft, and shows some very superior qualities for hard work at sea. The Prince Regent seems unquestionably the noblest two-decker afloat. Her fleetness in sailing is remarkable, and she is beau tifully worked—so is the Bellerophon. The sloops have had no trial since the last we detailed. The Mercury cutter went into Torbay after seven o'clock on Thursday evening, on her passage to Portsmouth. The squadron having been joined by the Stromboli steam-sloop, Captain Lord A. Beauclerk, from Ports mouth, with dispatches for the Admiral, sailed on Friday for Cork, touching at Plymouth. A Russian man-ot-war cutter arrived at Portsmouth yesterday, from Lisbon. _ The Bombay hired freight ship arrived at Portsmouth yesterday, with the depot of the 77th Regiment, from Cork.

Mr. Deputy Goss presicled, and the company, which num bered seventy, consisted of the chief inhabitants of the ward. The viands and wines were of the choicest de scription, and bore ample testimony to the well-known celebrity of the worthy host of the Castle. The usual toasts being drunk, Mr. Deputy Goss proposed " The health of his Lordship," who returned thanks in a neat and appropriate speech, greatly to ,the satisfaction of the visitor& present. Theyseparated about ten o'clock, highly delighted with their evening's festivities. • ATTEMPT TO ASSASSINATE THE TOWN-CLERK OF GREENOCK. GREENOCK, JULY 20.—This afternoon, at about a quarter to four o'clock, as Mr. John Kerr Gray, town clerk, was passing along Hamilton-street, between the Vennel and Watson's-lane, a man named Thoinson, an auctioneer, crossed over to him from the opposite.side of the street, and looking Mr. Gray full in the face, drew a large horse-pistol f rom un d er hi s coat , an d f ir e d it at him. Mr. Gray staggered a few paces into the shop of Mr. M'llwraith, hosier, who, having heard the report, has tened out of his back shop and caught Mr. Gray in his arms, as he was sinking on the floor. Drs. M'Gowan and Henry, whose consulting-rooms are in the vicinity, immediately repaired to Mr. Mgt wraith's shop, where they found Mr. Gray seated, and very weak and faint. They tore open the upper part of his dress, and discovered that the bullet had en tered his chest at the right side, and passed right through to the inner surface of the left side, without wounuing the heart or lungs. A litter was forthwith procured, and Mr. Gray was carried over to the White Hart Hotel, where several other medical gentlemen were speedily in attendance. The ball, we are informed, has been extracted; and Mr. Gray, who is highly esteemed us an amiable, feeling , hearted gen tleman, is going on favourably. The cause of this dreadful outrage, happily of an unwonted kind in Scot land, is said to have been that Thomson, who used to conduct sales at the Cross Shore, was obliged to do so in rotation with other auctioneers; and he fancied that Mr. Gray had something to do with the depriving him of his monopoly. When he fired the pistol he delibe rately dropped it on the pavement, and walked com posedly up the Vennel. He then began to run; but' two men pursued and apprehended him. He did not deny laving discharged the pistol, and said it shou ld _ have been done a twelvemonth ago. Some another bullet were found in his pocket. powder and Half-past 1 o Ran I hcve just ascertained that the bullet entered imme diately below the middle of the right clavicle, and was found lying beneath tbo skin over the left clavicle. It is the opinion of the medical men that it did not pene trate the chest, but passed super6cially . from the one side to the other. The left clavicle is said to bo frac tured.f Mr. Gray is going vo urably, but is not .a on con sidered out of danger.—North British Daily The Observer of Su nda y , July 23, gave upwards Saturday's Debates to sus pendof Eleven Folio Columns of ~ Act and other matters con the.

OPENING OF THE LINE OF RAILWAY BETWEEN RICHMOND AND Wilinson.--On Saturday the first trial trip was made on this line by t h e chairman and deputy rhairrnan, with several o f th e directors, a ccompanied by Mr. Horne, the secretary, the engineer, contractor, soli citor, and several other officials connected with the com pany. The Government Inspector is expected to pro ceed to the terminus at Datchet on Thursday next, and on the following Monday the line will most probably , be open for passenger traffic should the inspector's re port be favourable, of which not the least doubt is en i t•ertained. RAILWAY N TIgLLIGENCE. • NORTII,STAFFORDSHIRE: STOKE -UPON - Tr.EN T, SATURDAY. The usual Ordi nary half-yearly meeting of the ahareholders in this Company was held at the station in this inwn to-day. J. Laßicardo, Esq., M.P., occupied the chair, and there was a very numerous attendance of proprietors. . Mr. SAMUDA, the Secretary, read the report of Mr. G. P. Bidder, the engineer to the company. It; stated that the line 'was opened between Stoke and Nerton-bridge (on the North-Western line) in April, and that its working had been most satisfactory; the line between Stoke and Colwick had been retarded according to the instructions of the' directors, aud the continuance of wet aftettlier diirifig The spring: hod necesmrily retarded the works upon the other portions'of the line. 'The viaduct at Congleton was complete, with the exception of one pier and two arche3, which had to be reconstructed, and at the Dane viaduct all the piers were complete, and the centres set for seven arches. Mr. Bidder, according to instructions, had computed the amount of the company's capital account, including stations, sid ings, turntables, water cranes, &c., and carrying stock, locomotive engines and workshops, and three years maintenance of the railway, and estimated it at 3,400,000/. This, as compared with the Parliamentary estimates, after deducting 490,0004 for stations, carriages, workshops, and three years' maintenance ; also, 150,0001. excess on the land, owing to the purchase of coal mines, and other matters not contemplated by the lantbvaluers; and also, 74,3711. Is. Bd. extra expenditure in Parlia ment, shows that the actual cost will be within the ori ginal estimates ; and Mr. Bidder expressed it as his opinion that no railway of tho sago length (viz., 128 miles), with works of the same magnitude, with so effi cient a carrying stock, stations, and equipments, had ever been completed at a less cost. Ile believed, too, that it admitted of beiug;as economically Worked as it had been economically constructed., The report of the directors was next read, in which they announced that they had followed the course pur sued in their last report of completing successively dif ferent lengths of the line. The length from the Potte ries to Uttoxeter, and from Crewe to Burton, 44 miles, would bo completed in August and September ; Con gleton to Colwich, 24i miles, in September ; Congleton to .Macclesfield, seven miles, in March, 1849 ; and Ut toxeter to North Rode, 274, in September, 1849. The length from Stoke to Norton Bridge, ICO . I, was opened in April, and had realised in two months a net profit of 1,6681. The directors observed that although this was Leyond their anticipations, still it Would be futile to found any ealcUlations with respect to the whole under taking upon this partial commencement. It had, how. ever, determined two circumstances great importance, via., that the tonnage upon v. hat may be termed the competing pint of the canal had not been diminished by the opening of the railway ; and, secondly, that, great economy in the expenses of the two (canal and railway) might be affected by a judicious combination of the joint staff. The report goes on to say:— .‘ After a careful investigation, it has been ascertained, as will be seen by reference to the report of the engineer, that the amount required to complete the whole works and plant of the railway will be met by the subscribed capital of the company, a circumstance, as your directors believe, almost without precedent in railway history. One more call of 2/. 103. will be required in the course of the present year. It is proposed to make this in the month of September. A further amount of 21. 10s. will insure the completion of the line, but this call will not be made till 1849, even if it should be necessary at all, a contingency dependent upon the issue of debentures. On this point your directors have some hesitation in giving an opinion. They are determined not to sacrifice the true and permanent interest of their shareholders for the sake of a present advantage in the market price of the shares, and they have uniformly refused, in times and under circumstances far more adverse than the present, to issue debentures bearing interest above five per cent. At this rate they have hitherto been enabled to negotiate but a small sum; but when it is recollected that your de bentures ere secured, not only by the revenue of the railroad, new partially and within twelve months to be en tirely opened, and upon which 131. a share, amounting to 2,522,605/. sterling, will have been paid up, but also upon the canal, yielding a net revenue of from 80,000/. to 60,0001. a year; and further, that the debentures are for money raised, nut in addition, but in aid of your paid-up capital, and are guaranteed by calls which may be legally enforced upon the whole body of shareholders, your directors do not doubt but that, if this description of security should again obtain favour in the money mar ket, the North Staffordshire debentures will be those which will in a great degree command a preference. In the last report it was intimated that the interest received on capital and surplus proceeds on the canal would enable the directors to recommend a small dividend on the shares, and the amount of this was estimated at .ss. per share. The great depression of trade during the 184 six months has, however, so far diminished the receipts of the canal, that it is not thought prudent consistently with the expressed determination of the directors to re frain, under any circumstances, from trenehing'on their capital for the payment of interest, to recommend a dis •aribution of more than 4s. per share, for the payment of which dividend a resolution will be submitted to you." The report having been adopted, A dividend of four shillings per share was declared, payable on the 14th of August, and it was also tri nounced that a call of 21. 10s. would be required in 'she month of September. t iThatiks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. 1 HER MAJESTY'S TREATRE.—Iier Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent honoured the performances at her Majesty's Theatre on Saturday evening with her pre sence.

IMPORTATION OF CATTLE. —It will be recollected that in the auttunu of last year, the attention of the offi cots of the revenue was specially directed by the autho rities to the state of the cattle and sheep which should be imported from abroad, and also in the early portion of the year 1845, in consequence of a certain disease being on those two occasions prevailing among them on the continent. The officers of the Customs department have again been made acquainted that information has recently been received that the disease called " Variula oris" is now greatly ext en di ng in some parts of the country, especially iu two of the eastern counties, and that apprehensions exist that it may be caused by the importation of infected sheep, and they have therefore been directed to exercise the greatest vigt knee in enforcing the precautions previously authorised to be adopted in this matter, with a further notification that they are forthwith to state for the information of the board, wbetier it appears that sheep are now being iinportul at either of the ports of the kingdom in en infected state. Directions to the above effect have been given to the officers of the revenue at all the ports throughout the kingdom, and although there may, per haps, te) no al . soluto necessity for apprehending the.in fected state of t h e catt l e w hi ch are at the present time fr o m t h e C ont i nent , yet t h ese sal in the salutary- p• cautions taken by th e G ov e rnm ent authorities matter will be duly appreciated by the public.
