r -FRANCE. [The following appeared in our Third Edition of Saturday] : At the sitting of the National Assembly yesterday, the second article of the Bill for taxing loans on mortgages was discussed. The article ran thus : " The tax i s fi xe d at one-fifth of the interest of the capital ; and those interests, in the absence of the declaration of the debtors, shall be provisionally calculated for the collection of the tax, at the rate of 5 per cent." Several amend m2nts were moved and rejected. At length M. DERODE moved that the tax be reduced from one-fifth to one-eighth of the interest of the capital, and carried his amendment by a majority of 329 to 313. The announcement of the numbers called up M. Gounchaux, Minister of Finance, who begged leave to withdraw the Bill altogether, and gave notice of a new tax on moveable property. Meanwhile, he said that he would endeavour to provide for the deficiency of 20,000,000 f. which the mort gage tax was calculated to produce. The Assembly aftrwards voted a credit of 1,500,000 f. to the Minister of Marine, to supply the French colonies with provisions. The Normal School Bill was next discussed, and eventually adopted. Several articles of the Jury Bill were afterwards carried, and the Assembly adjourned. SPAIN. Accounts from Madrid of the 30th ult. state that the Queen was to proceed on the 9th or 10th inst. to the Escurial, and, atter stopping a few days in that residence, to return to Madrid. The Gazette had not yet published the appointment of M. PIDAL to the Foreign Department. He had, however, taken the oath of office in the hands of the QUEEN, and been formally installed. General N ARVAEZ at first intended to send M. MON as Ambassador to Austria, but it was believed that he would shortly assume the direction of the Finance Department. The Duke DE SOTOMATOR was preparing to leave for Paris, and M. MARTINEZ DE LA Rosa for Rome. Twenty-seven individuals, who had formed part of the band of CABRERA, in the moun tains of Catalonia, had made their submission. Never since Amati strung the first violin did this ) fiddle-making city suffer so much from plenitude of tem porary prosperity, as it does at present. I wish I could priut the look the waiter gave me last night, on alighting at the principal inn, when I asked for a bed and dinner. " A bed !" cried he, " when all have been occupied, oven to that of the muster's, for the last three days." " And a dinner," chimed in his companion, " when the last cut let has been devoured an hour sicce." How I contrived to get a dinner and a bed, will be no secret for those who have 51. to throw away. The streets are filled with wounded or lame soldiers, straggling in perties of two and three—by runaway Lombardian conscripts and vo lunteers, and by detachments of every regiment in the service, trying to join their colours. Every moment a cry is raised that the Tedeschi are coming, and a rush takes place, or a forward movement occurs on it is being said the King and a large force are at hand. Many of the principal families have fled, and others are preparing to follow their example. "Is it not hard," said the hairdresser to me to-day, " that the nobility are all leaving us, and that we are compelled to remain ?" "Put your curling-irons in the fire ; let your scissors be well ground ; keep wide open the shop-door, and when the Austrians come they will be good customers," seas my reply. "Ah ! Sir, you don't know them," was the responsive groan. "Ah ! Sir, you don't know them," was the echo of two apprentices. The Lombardy colours are not seen; the Milanese cockades are hid away ; the Prodi and the Fratelli keep their eyes fixed on the gate to Milan or to the Po. There is something ludicrous in the fallen importance of their gentry, who a week since imagined that Europe was dazzled at their rising re fulgence. They are now very tame indeed, and the little experience they have of war, and its pleasures, will, I think, take away all appetite fur defending Milan, should Hadetzky bombard it. I thought the Brescian were people of pluck, and determined to die amid the ruins of the city ; but I am now told their courage is something like that of Bob Acres, and they mean to leave everything to the French, as they have left it to the Piedmontese. I know not what to say of the Cremonese, except that the ladies are very handsome, and that it is a pity that grim-visaged war should ever cau-o terror to their palpitating hearts. The men seem well suited to playing on the fiddle, and many of them I found at the camp were famous fur drawing the long bow. The weather is very hot—scald ing hot—but there is an abundant supply of ice ; and as, in my opinion, we shall have no more lighting, and that the war is over, I do not see why we should nut make ourselves comfortable. _ _ The King and the two Princes were under fire in every affair. Their undaunted courage is highly extolled by every one I have spoken to. CREMONA, JULY 28.—1 wrote to you from Brescia this morning; I have just arrived, and as the post starts for Milan in five minutes, I merely have time to announce that fact, in order that you may see your correspondence is in good order. I mean to join tho King to-morrow morning, wherever he may be. lie has fallen back from Guito, some say on Asula, others on BussulA; the former at the other side of the Oglio; the other, south of the Po. I find great alarm here, but I must defer till to morrow any other explanation. According to the Paris Journal des Debuts the Italian cause still disposed of a considerable force. The Piedmontese army, commanded by the KING, amounted to 45,000 men, and the remainder was ut Pavia, Piacenza, Casal Maggiore, on the Po, to the south of Bozzolo, in the duchies of Parma and Modena, at Ferrara and Venice. The KING'S army forms the right wing of the general defence. The centre is established within five leagues of Milan, as a corps of reserve, at the bridge of Cassano, a very strong position on the Adda, where 15,000 Lombards and Tuscans are stationed. The town of Brescia, strongly entrenched and defended by a castle, is the point d'appui of the left wing, composed of 10,000 men. Inose forces amount together to 70,000 men. Marshal Radetzky does not appear to have more then 50,000 or 60,000 men under his immediate orders. The last levy decreed in Piedmont will procure a reinforcement of 21 ; 000 men, in lepen dently of which 56 battalions of National Guards, intended to farm an army of reserve, are to be mobilized. If Lombardy had made the same efforts the whole of Venetia would now be free, and Verona and Mantua in the possession of the Italians. — Times upwards of 30 fires being lighted on the line. At seven o'clock on the following (Friday) morning the stream of the old Cheswold, in its original bed, was stopped, and consequently diverted through the new culvert, which, judging from appearances, seems fully capable of meet ing the required purposes in all respects. The forma• tion of the permanent platform on the site of the pro posed station-house, near the late residence of Mr. Croweroft, gardener, with the entrance opposite the na tional school, in West Laith-gate, is rapidly proceeding. and one lire of the permanent rails has been laid across the marsh in the direction of the Ings and Bentley Flood Bank. In consequence of the wetness of the weather, how ever, the opening of the Ike for traffic will be unavoidably delayed for a few days, as the Government inspector will not give his sanction until the formation of the turn tables, and other necessary matters connected with the efficiency of the line, are completed. The operation of pile-driving has commenced on the right bank of the new cut preparatory to the erection of the permanent bridge. The abutments will, we understand, be formed of stone to receive wrought-iron girders to span the stream. This portion of the work is placed under the experienced ma nagement of Hollingworth, who was foreman of the masonry department in the erection of the new Royal Exchange and Derby station. The filling up of the Ches wold and other matters close at hand have completely changed the character of the locality, so that the stranger can scarcely recognise its former peculiarities.—Doneas ter paper.—Every exertion is being made to have the por tion of this line, north of Doncaster, open into the town by the 10th of August, and we understand there is no doubt whatever of its being completed by that time. The two lines of rails from Stockbridge to Bentley Bank are, as our readers were informed some weeks ago, quite completed ; the earthwork from Bentley Bank to Don caster is finished, and, with the exception of about fifty yards over the Dun drainage culvert, one lino of rail. has been permanently laid as far as the New Cut. It was intended to complete the unfinished interval last night ; and we understand that an engine will run up the line to day as far as the Mill-dyke bridge, and to the bridge over the New Cut to-morrow (Saturday). There will be only a single line of rails laid over the latter. O❑ the other side of the town the brickwork of one platform, on the site of the passenger station, is nearly finished, and large flag-stones are being prepared to lay on the top of the brick walls. The laying of permanent rails from the platform to the New Cut bridge has commenced, and the remaining portion of the Cheswold is being filled up for the line to pass over. There will be in West Laith gates two entrances, or perhaps more correctly one road for entrance and one for departure.—Doncaster Chronicle. THE WAR IN ITALY. CREMONA, JULY 29.—1 do not go to head-quarters, as head-quarters come to me. Several officers of the sr lf? have already arrived, and the King is expected with the Princes late in the afternoon. His Majesty was yesterday at Bozzolo, a small town between the Oglio and the Pc, and the remains of the late grand army were encamped in the same direction. At three o'clock this morning Charles Albert left that place, mei, after making a short circuit of the different posts, he has decided on going to Cremona. It is said that the Austrian hussars have passed the Oglio ; but I crossed that river yesterday at Pontevico, where there is a substantial bridge, and saw nothing of them, and, in try opinion, the Oglio will not be rescued except by large masses of the enemy. The river is unusually low. in consequence of the late dry weather ; though large as the Mincio, it is not so rapid, and I am quite sure that, in addition to the bridges and abundant supply of boats, it can now be forded in several places. From all I can learn of the army, which lately num bered 80,000 men, there are not 20,000 now together available for any duty. The others have been disposed of, on a rough calculation, in the following manner : In hospital, previous to the late affair, 15,000 ; killed, wounded, and prisoners, since this day week, 10,000 ; dispersed in regiments or in half regiments, some at Brescia, some at Lonato, others at Cremona, 20.000 ; deserters, principally Lombardians and Modenese 5,000; stragglers that have crossed the Po, and returned to . wards Piedmont, 10,000 men. The army is broken up, and can no longer be united, though pains are taken to collect all those who retired on Brescia or Cremona, and again unite them with the division which is still under the orders of the King, consisting of the remains of the brigade of Aosta, of Guardo, of Savoy, and Corry, the major pert of the artillery, and ab iut 2,200 Lan cers. It is in vain for the King to attempt with such a force making head against a victorious army, high in spirits, supplied with everthing, and handled with con summate skill. The sooner he retires to Piedmont the better, and then accept the peace which I have no doubt the enemy will give him on terms more favourable than he who was the aggressor is entitled to expect. We have always reasoned on the basis that Lombardy was not desired by Austria, and that she was ready to treat for the frontier of the Adige or the Mincio. Radetzky's retreat from Milan was made in accord ance with principle, as Lombardy is not defensible anywhere ; and why should not Austria now profit by her great success to establish on favourable terms a suitable frontier, such as the Adige will give with the Tyrol, Venetia, and the Friuli ? I have hopes that an accomodation will grow out of the present un happy position of affairs, and the pacification of this pat t of Europe be accomplished more rapidly than it would have been if Charles Albert had conquered. If the King were strong enough to cross the Po, march on Ferrara. and enter the Venetia, in the rear of the Austrian army, a diversion might be made, and the actual defeat lead to a glorious success; but such projects are quite out of the question; the officers and soldiers are so disgusted by having been abandoned three days without rations, that they have resolved to fight no more fur the Milanese; aunt if an order to advance were given, one-half of the men faithful to their colours would desert and return to Piedmont. Now I hear the free opinions of men Led officers without disguise or exaggeration, and I ten certain of the truth of what I now advance. It is said that the King has sent prOposals for an armistice to Radetzky, and that the latter has ex eressed his willingness to grant it, provided the Pied• montese recross at once the Tessin, and submit to a me diation fur a definitive peace. I am likewise told that the King refused the Tessin, but accepts the latter con dition; and I presume that Radetzky will prescrihe some other limits less humiliating to a beaten but brave adversary.' You see, it is said, on the one hand, that the hiug loss asked for the aid of 60,000 Frenchmen; and, on tee other, that he accepts a mediation for a definitive peace. Which story is trne, is not yet in my power to say, though the moment I am able to communicate with bead-quaff term I shalt have no difficulty in doing so. I think more probable that the Provisional Government of Milan has asked for French assistance, nut the King; and that as he has, in his secret thoughts, been for some time of opinion that peace on the basis of the Adige was a boon not to be rejected, he is not likely to compromise One demarche by the other. Though I write that the Piedwontese army is thus scattered to the winds, I cam scarcely persuade myself of the truth of what I say. No one is to be blamed but Charles Albert—l say so with regret. He has always shown undue preference to Generals and other persons high in station, who - neither had the confidence of the troops, nor deserved to have it. Is it to be believed— will history credit the fact—that a week since we were superior iu moral and physical force to the enemy, and that we are at this hour reduced as low as the depth of adversity can place us? We have been victorious in every fight; even in all the late affairs we have killed and wounded 15,000 of the enemy, and made 3,000 prisoners; and we have been compelled to give way, because we had no reserve, and no precaution had been taken to supply the exhausted men with provisions—even for three whole days. The success of the enemy is owing solely to the fact that he had a reserve of fresh men to fall on our flank, after we had defeated his host in front, posted in the most advantageous manner. Is it not heartbreaking to say, that after having taken and retaken Somme Cam pagna, driven the Austrians from Sono twice, and car ried the steep hill—l might say mountain—of Cutoza, at the point of the bayonet, we were obliged to fall back on Villa Franca, the men absolutely dropping from hunger on the road, because fresh troops were not issued at the proper moment from Verona, and because we were left to starve, and on many points to fight without ammuni tion? I believe that bread and wine were sent at in tervals to the men, but that the waggoners took flight, cut their traces, escaped with the horses, and left the provisions in the road. lam told the ammunition carts were deserted in the same manner; but these things are not accidents but crimes, because sufficient escorts were not sent to control the drivers, or take their place in case of need. The great fault utrnmitted by Charles Albert was his removal of the Duke of Genoa and Colonel La Murmora from itivoli, and the entrusting that important point at the extreme of the left wing to a force not exceeding BUO men. He was next wrong in depriving the position touching on the Adige and running to Vallegit) on the Mincio, of all but 5,000 men; and he was more than crimi.tal in collecdng 40,000 men on the extreme right, round Mantua; in such a manner that they were unable to assist each other, or r,_•inforc in time any part of t he line. Of all these blun lers ltadetzky has taken full advantage. He contrived, at the expense of a few men, to occupy the King's attention at Governolo, and at Ostiglio, until his plans were ripe, and he had prepared the torrent with which he has since overwhelmed our brave but inferior numbers at ltivoli, and at Sandra. in Tike manner, evinced great skill in not fol. I "ing the King to Villa Franca and Guito, but in crossing the Almelo in the centre of the line, winning race to the heights of Volta, and thus turning the position of_Goito, which had been strengthened with fio much pains - against an attack in front from Mantua. We , hav e t h us - been driven into the low grounds,and kept Lore, whil s t t h e enemy commands all the heights, and ex tends his li nes nilw without any risk between the Mincio and the Oglio, so as to force us to the Po, whilst he crosses the o , lio when and where he pleases. The Aus trian loss would have been comparatively slight if our men had not deterrnitiPd_to captu re a ll th e h e i g h ts w hi c h bad been abandoned -oh Saturday and Sunday. On these points they lust at least 10,000 men with 2,000 prisoners. In my opinion the Kitin 4 . ci a , u it v o ance •to Villa Franca, and subsequent retreat to great . errors. • He should, in the first instance, are e ye carried the whole army on the Mire Ari Kt master of the beigl is of V,i!te„ driven the ene at P in 4 y ee b i a c u k d, z ,nbario an I Silienze.

A position, said to be defended by 1,500, was in reality defended only by 500, and thus points were given up which ought to have been preserved. July 22 Aberdeen .. Amiens and Boulogne .....

MALTON AND DRIFFIELD JUNCTION. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Monday at the offices, Halton; Hr. W. C . Copperthwsite in the chair. The report stated that since the last meeting the directors had principally directed their attention to getting in the arrears of calls, and limiting the expendi ture upon the works so as to enable them to redeem their promise of not calling up more than 5/. per share during the present year. Since that meeting they had received, without any recourse to harsh measures, 5,3811. of the arrears, and of the call of 11. per share due April 22, 7,5901.; so that of 90,0001. called up, there only remained the suns of 10.3194 upaid, and of this a further sum of 4,000/. was expected to be speedily paid, leaving arrears of about 6,0001., or little more than six per cent, of the capital called up. To enable the works to procure 1 the contractor had allowed 20.0001. to stand over for the present. A call of 1/. 10s. per share is to be payable on the Bth of August, and another of 11., pay able in November. Those two calls will amount to 30,0001., of which 5,0001. has been paid in advance by the York and North Midland Company. The directors ex press a hope that the shareholders will Ee punctual in the payment of the calls so as to enable them to continue the works. The engineer's report stated that the opera tions of the contractor have been confined principally to the tunnel at Burdale, and to the part of the line between Burdale and Driffield, on which one side of the perma nent way was laid and ballasted, and the second line was partially ballasted. That the whole of the line laid was in excellent order, and could be used for public traffic in the course of a fortnight. The acc , unts showed that 87,3041. had been received, and 86,3261. expended, leav ing s balance of I,OOS/. at the bankers. The report was adopted, anti thanks were voted to the directors for their goed management, after which the meeting separated. MA NCLIESTEU, SIiEFFIELD, AND LINCOLN SHIRE. It is with no small degree of pleasure that we notice the progress of the works on the Mancheitei, Sheffield, and Liucolushire Railway. in the neighbOurhuod of Ret tord. Already the tunnel of 550 yards in length through the Clarborough Hills is fast approaching tow ar d s com pletion, and as double s ets of hands are engaged night and day, it is presumed that this great undertaking will be completed early in the mouth of October—although we believe (on the authority of the contractors) that the whole could be finished in about eleven weeks from the present time. What has tended materially to further the making of this, the lengthiest tunnel on the line, is the capital beds of clay formed both east and west of the undertaking, which has enabled the contractors (Messrs. Waring and Sons) to make their own briiks, awl by a temporary side line to,convey them to the spot with the least possible delay and at the least possible expense. The approach to this tunnel has furnished an abundance of material for making the embankment near Welham, which crosses the Retford and Gainsborough turnpike road twice, and which at its principal is 33 feet high. Coming to the south-east of Betford, it enters a cutting 26 feet 6 inches at its greatest depth, passing under the great North Road, and over the Chesterfield Canal feeder, and then on an embankment 21 feet high it crosses the river Idle and Ordeall Lows, whence it again encounters high ground and enters a cutting. Ilere for a considerab:e distance the line is ballasted and one line of rails permanently laid, and it is from hence that all the ballast for the line to Bolefit.ld, near the River Trent, will have to be taken. Crossing;through Whisker Hill,.it passes over the lion. J. B. Simpson's property by a bridge and culvert, both of which are already completed. In a short distance further the permanent lines are again laid, and so continue part of the . way to Worksop.— .Nuttingham Journal. THE GREAT NORTEIERN—DONCASTER DISTRICT.

SCOTTISH MIDLAND JUNCTION. The line, which forms a portion of the Central trunk line of railway through Scotland from north to south, in extension of the Scottish, Centel and Caledonian, was opened for general traffic yesterday (Wednesday). On the previous day the directors gave their friends a plea sure excursion along the line to Forfar and back, which was extended to comprehend all who desired to parti cipate in the trip, so that eventually nearly thirty car riages started from the general station a little before tnid•day. The country traversed by the line, we need hardly inform our readers, is a beautiful one through out. From no point does Perth look to greater ad vantage than from the north, a little beyond the Almand (which is caused by a stone bridge of three arches), and Scone Palace, the classic fields of Lun carty, the picturesquely-situated cotton-mills of Stanley all form prominent points of attraction to the traveller. The bridge over the Tay at Cargill is a beautiful piece of architecture ; and is considered by competent judges to be one of the triumphs of the line. It consists of five arches, each 100 feet span, and CO above the river ; it is built of Huntingtower stone, except the arches, which are timber, with open balustrades. M€ikleour, a seat o► the ancient house of Aldie, now represented by Countess Fahaulr, is seen to much advantage from this point, situated on a promontory formed by the junction of th. Isla with the Tay, and richly clothed with wood. Th, line continues eastward for two or three miles, when it turns northward to Coupar Angus, where the Newtyle Railway to Dundee joins it. This district is rich in noblemen and gentlemen's seats, among which we noticed Belmount CiStle (Lord Wharncliffe), Lintrose, Keithick, Balgersho, Arthurston, Simprim, &c. The whole line eastward to Meigle village is through a most luxuriant country and picturesque scenery. Leaving Perthshire three miles beyond Meigle, we approach the lovely scenery and venerable castle of Glammis, one of the most interesting objects in the country. The castle, which is in excellent repair, is the most perfect specimen of the old baronial residences of Scotland, and every facility is afforded to strangers to see all that is inter esting connected with it. The line thence to Forfar presents fewer features of interest. The grounds of Conde)) , Castle, the seat of the Earl of Airlie, Lord- Lieutenant of Forfarshire, are seen in the distance; and the whole line of the Grampians, terminating with Ben Vorlich, on Loch Earnside, in the west, are here brought into ono view. The station is about half a mile north of Forfar, where it joins the Arbroath line, and here the line of continuous railway travelling from Land's End stops fur the present. The town of Forfar presents little attraction to travellers; and the party spent the in terval tiil the return of the train as they best could.— Perthshire Railway. DIRECT LINE BETWEEN LONDON AND PARIS. A correspondent states that the opening of the Rouen and Dieppe Railway completes the most direct commu ❑ication between the tno capitals, the total distance, via Brighton, being 245 mil , •s; that it is 100 miles less than the route by S. uthampton and Havre, and 40 mite. less than that by Dover and Boulogne. The Dieppe line branches out of the Rouen and Havre Railway at Malaunay, about seven miles from Rotten, and traverses, the whole way to Dieppe, a beautiful country. The total length of the line is 30 miles. After leaving the junction it follows, a demi cote, the Vallee de Cleves. Ii then enters the Vallee de la Scie, which it traverses till within two miles of Dieppe, passing by St. Victor, Auffay, and Longueville, at each of which places stations have been built. The line quits this valley and enters the Vallee d'Argues by means of a tunnel a mile in length, and almost immediately arrives at the Dieppe station, which, when completed, will afford every ac ccmmodution for passengers and merchandise. POSTPONEMENT OF THE OPENING OF THE RICHMOND AND WINDSOR RAILWAY. This branch line of railway, extending from Rich mond to the present terminus at Datchet (in connexion with the South-western Railway), which was to have been opened for passeger traffic the first week in August, will not now be in working order for at least three weeks or a month, in consequence of some of the piers of the viaduct extending act oss the Deer Park at Rich mond having sunk to the extent of upwards of two feet. 'filo unfortunate affair is supposed to have been occa sioned by the soil being generally composed of loose gravel, and the land springs which abound in thatt neighbourhood. Fwo arches must be entirely rebuilt, and the piers of a third, it is expected, will also have to be entirely reconstructed. The foundations were originally dug to a depth of eight feet below the sur face. Excavations have since been made to double that depth, yet still a sufficiently solid foundation has not been arrived . at. The original intention of Mr. Lucke, At.P., the engin( er to the company, who was perfectly well aware of the treacherous nature of the soil, was to carry the railway across this portion of the line by means of an embankment. This plan, however, was overrult d by the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, and a clause was inserted in the Act of Parlisment, compelling the company to construct a viaduct across the path, to be supported by ornamental columns and and arches. It is stated that, as the viaduct was con structed under the superindence of a Crown official, the Government will make some compensation to the parties referred to. Had it not been for the sinking of the piers of the viaduct, the line would have been opened from Windsor to Waterloo-bridge, this day. Inisu INTIMIDATION.-:—ln the afternoon of Wed nesday last, an Irishman, who had the appearance of a reaper, entered the back premises of sume dwelling houses in Cartwright-street, under the pretence of so liciting charity, and grumbled because he could get nothing but water. He stole a clasp-knife from a win dow-sill, and when ha was desired by the females present to restore it, he brandished a bared sickle, and threat ened destruction to any one who opposed him, defying, at the same time, the threat with regard to the polkce. He is a broad-set man, with grey hair, of florid coM plexion, and apparently between sixty and seventy years of age. It is high time that the town was rid of these dangerous vagabonds.—Doncaster Gazette. A GOOD LUCKiENNY.—SPEEDY COURT9I.IIP.--An intelligent farmer, residing within a hundred miles of \Vigtown, lately visited an extensive sheep dealer in the same district, for the purpose of selecting a few of his best ewe lambs. The parties, after debating for some time on the state of markers, &c , were about to conclude a bargain, when the intend ing purchaser inquired what sort of a luckpenny he was to get. The :uarclian of the "fleecy flock," after some hesitation,maintained he "couldna afford a luck penny aff the bargain." The other still persisting in his claim to the usual allowance, the seller declared, in an immoderate fit of laughter, " Od, gie ye my dochter Janet," who was, meanwhile, supplying the " twa drovers" with the necessary ingredients for a bowl of punch. Janet seemed to relish the joke, but " looked unutterable things." The lord of the soil followed up the remark, by inquir ing " what luckpenuy he would gie wi' Janet ?" Atweel." says the other, " I'se gie ye twa hater wi' her." In another instant the arrner exclaimed (at the same time reaching his hand to his friend) " Mak' it four and I'm your man !" The old gentle man, beginning to thick he was carrying the joke too far, craved permission to consider the matter till the following morning —doubtless with a view of consulting Janet. This request having been granted, the parties thereafter enjoyed themselves for some time, and the night " drave on wi' sangs and clatter"—the luckpenny, of course, forming the principal sub ject of discussion. Alter a hearty carousal, they separated, looking forward with anxious expectation as to the morrow.. The morrow soon arrived, and the two dealers met according to appointment, when the old genrdeman declared his willingness to " mak' it four," provided the other was agreeable to take Janet. We have only to add that the bargain was struck, the luck penny accepted, and Janet at the end of eight days, bk.- c.ime Mrs. --, and. now makes a thrifty wife.— Wig, totonshire Free Press.

BRISTOL ►SUGAR MARKET, AUG. 4.—We have had a better demand for raw sugars since the settlement of the question as to the duties on refined sugars, but the market is still far from active. For crushed there is a very eo.‘d demand, at full prices. Rum is still dull.-- Bri tol Mercury. A GOLDEN DREAM.—A Northumberland hind, named C— B—, stuck his spade into the earth, one day this month, near to a certain t/60 by the side of a brook, to test the truth of an alleged dream, that a hoard of money was there concealed. His faith was well rewarded; he turned up a pot which was full of coins. Three of these we have seen; one of them a penny of Alexander lIL, King of Scot land, who began hi; reign on the Bth of July, 1249, and ended it on the 16th of March, 1286. The other two were pennies of Edward I. King of Eng land, November 20, 1272, to July 7, 1307, struck re spectively at Canterbury and Dublin. We are inclined to believe that the peasant really dreamt of his prize; but wo cannot accompany Mrs. Crowe to the Night Side of Nature in search of an explanation. He had heard his father tell of coins in the neighbourhood of. the tree; and nothing was mere likely, therefore, than that he sh , ,uld have the dream which sent him to the spot with his spade. Five centuries have elapsed since the treasure was buried. One mark of identification selected by the owner remains to this day—the brook. We are not informed that the tree bears witness to a like anti quity.= Gateshead Observer. GAM E SELLING.—Many persons entertain the idea that the recent Game Act authorises any one to sell hares without a game dealer's license. This is a mis taken notion, not a word is said in the new enactment respecting game dealers' licenses. Lord Blcho has left town for Scotland.

They were met by the High Sheriff in a carriage and four, at Gateshead Fell. Their Lordships proceeded to open the commissions, and afterwards attended divine service at St. Nicholas Church. This morning business commenced at 10 o'clock, Mr. Justice Cresswell presiding iu the Moot Hall, and taking, till one o'clock, the town cases, whore there are 16 pri soners for trial, one charged with murder. There are 13 causes in the county, nine of them being proceedings in scire facies, arising out of the failing of the North of England Bank. 31 75 15 55}i, James .M.lVichol, an Irish navvy, aged 21, was in dicted for an assault on George Chaytor, and with wounding him, intending to do him grievous bodily harm, on the 42d of April, in this town. The prosecutor said that in the evening of the day named in the indictment, as he was passing through an entry oat of St. Nicholas-square, he saw four or five men quarrelling. As he tried to push past, the prisoner struck prosecutor. He ran away, shouting murder and police, but the prisoner and another overtook him. He entreated the prisoner not to murder him, but the prisoner struck him a violent blow, and knocked him down, and then kicked him so violently on the left temple that he became insensible. Mr. Rayne, a surgeon, said be found a large triangular wound on the prosecutor's left temple. It was a dan gerous wound, and even now he was not restored. ills memory was still impaired and very confused. M. GRANGER addressed the Jury for the prisoner, and contended he had ❑ot the intention alleged. The Jury, after considerable hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty. Imprisoned eighteen months with hard labour. In the county calender there arc eight prisoners only; one charged with murder, and one with an attempt to suffocate. (Before Mr. Justice ERLE.) George Skelley, a farm labourer, aged 21, was indicted for wilful perjury, committed in the following poaching case, on an information before Dixon Dixon, Esq.:— It appeared that a person of the name of Harvey was charged, on the sth of February, for shooting, at Aln wick, in some preserves of the Duke of Northumberland, on new year's day last. A witness of the name of Thompson then swore that Harvey and three others were out at half-past two o'clock, and that they were seen near the place whence the report of a gun was heard. In answer to this evidence, the prisoner stated that he was at a public-house about 1,500 yards distant from the place where Harvey was alleged to have been seen, in company with Harvey from two till eight o'clock, and that he could not therefore be absent from it at the time alleged by Thompson. Witnesses were called to prove that Harvey was out with a gun at the time and place mentioned by Thompson. Mr. OVEREND, for the prisoner, contended that the prisoner's statement might merely be a mistake on his part, Mr. Ingham and Mr. Manisty for the prosecution. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. Sentence deferred. August 5. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice ERLE.) Margaret Kennedy, a single woman, aged 23, was charged with the wilful murder of her child at Shotton Edge, seven wiles from this place on the 3d May last. Isabella Heaton said she lived as a servant at Mr. Daniel Turner's, at Shotton Edge. The prisoner was also servant there. They both went on the Ist of May. On the 3d of May she was waiting on the family at dinner about two o'clock; she had been absent from the kitchen only ten minutes, and on returning the prisfm-r was not there. A quarter of an hour afterwards she saw the prisoner in the passage, kneeling, and having a cloth in her hand and blood upon it. Witness asked her what was the matter with her hand; she answered she had cut it. Soon afterwards she went to the coal-house and found the prisoner lying on the coals, and asked her what was the matter. She answered she had been in a fit. Witness went and told Miss Turner, and they re turned, and the prisoner gave the same answer to Miss Turner, and they took her and put her on two chairs. About six o'clock witness again went into the coal house, and saw the hand of a baby in a kit, covered over with coals. Cross-examined—Mrs. Tucker, with whom the pri soner had lived, and whom she called mother, took her home. 'rho prisoner and witness were the only ser vants at Mr. Turner's. When witness first saw prisoner in the coal house she was so ill she could not be re moved into the house. The baby was found about six o'clock, and the prisoner was removed about eight, when witness first saw the prisoner. William Wailes said he first saw the prisoner in the act of falling at the door. One Robson came up. They raised her on her knees, bathed her temples, and she said, " That will 'do—l shall soon be better." They proposed to fetch the other girl, but she refused, saying, she was busy with the dinner. They then went to their employment, but went to look twice at her in the coal hole. She seemed to be sitting, but the place was dark, he could hardly see her. Witness went a third time and as she was still very bad, he sent Robson to fetch Isabella Heaton. Cross -examined—Witness was in the place half an hour. The prisoner seemed to have fainted when wit ness first saw her. Henry Dobson corroborated the last witness. Jane Halliday, an old woman, living near, said that about three o'clock she was sent for, and went to the prisoner. Witness asked her if she had had a miscar riage, and she said no. Isabella then brought out the kit from among the coals, saying, Here's a child." The child was lying at the bottom of the kit. It was cold. It was a full-grown child. She observed it had a black place on one side of the neck. Mr; Murray, surgeon—The child was lying on its Side, its length turned by the circumference of the kit. He saw no external marks of violence, but he saw a projection on the throat. There was a slight contusion on the skull, but very slight. Mr. • Turner, surgeon, said he examined the body. It was a female, and full grown, the head and face wero swollen. A piece of coal had been forced down the throat, which it had torn. tThe piece of coat was pro de.ced, it was about an inch long, and three-quarters of an inch square.] There was a great deal of congealed blood betAeen the scalp and the skull, which covered a fraction of the skull one inch and a half in length, and one inch across. That was sufficient to cause almost immediate death. It might hare been produced by a fall during the birth. The position made it probable. He also inferred that the child bad breathed, because blood was congealed in the brain, His Lordships summed up and said it was not satisfac torily made out to his mind that she was guilty of mur der, and if they were of the same mind they would acquit her of that charge, and find her guilty of concealing the birth. The jury, after some consideration, acquitted her of murder, and found her Guilty of concealing the birth, and His LowasHlP sentenced her to be imprisoned, with hard labour, 18 calendar months. George Dixon, aged 17, was indicted for attempting to strangle James Cameron, a child, at Hattwhistle, on the 17th of March last. John Cameron, father of the child, said it was four years old. They travelled from Glasgow on the 14th of March, and at Edinburgh he met the prisoner in the workhouse, and they travelled together two days. Wit ness went on the 17th March into a shop al llextram to ask fur work, leaving the child with the prisoner, and on coming out the prisoner was gone. The child was then in perfi ct health. He went in pursuit, and found him again at Hattwhistle, a village 16 miles distant. The child was then very ill, and was attended by a sur geon. He was all over bruises. (The child was here produced, a fine, fat, healthy boy. Wm, Pickering saw the prisoner ill-using the child on the road. Mary Johnson said she saw the prisoner on the 18th, at a barn door, about midday, with the child on his knee. It was black in the face, and its e} es were closed. She took it from him. It - just opened its eyes and shut them again. It rattled sorely in the throat, and she said he was dying. The prisoner said the same. Margaret Frazer said she, her husband, and Mary Ann Rogers went in search of the child, and they found the prisoner sitting by the road side, with the child across his knee. They tried to get a little water down its throat, and could not. The prisoner said there was some thing very tight on the throat, and if it were taken off the water would go down. He pointed out a worsted neckcloth. They took it off. In about a quarter of an hour the child gave signs of life, and gradually came round. The prisoner had wished to get away, but they would not letnitn. John Wilkinson, a constable, asked prisoner why he he had so used the child. He said it was such a dirty beast, and he beat it with a strap. He said, if the child had died he would have taken it to Edinburgh (supposed for disiectien), Mr. Elliod(surgeon), said the child had black marks over both sides of the face and under the chin. He thought a handkerchief tied tight round would have pro duced these marks. The symptons were such that he thought they had been caused by strangulation. It had two fits. Ile attributed them to the child having been. tried to be strangled. The prisoner made a long statement. lie said, the father had given him the child to go begging with. His Loepsnir summed up, and The jury, in a moment, found the prisoner Guilty. His LORDSHIP sentenced him to be transported for 20 years. _ _ _ - George Skel4 and John Robson were this morning brought up for judgment. His LORDSHIP said it was quite clear that they had combined deliberately to commit the crime of perjury, and that combination very much increased the enormity of the offence ; and he should not do his duty by passing a less sentence, and he sentenced each to be transported seven years. SOUTH WALES ClRCUlT.—Cardigan, Aug. 4, (Before Justice WIGUTMAN.) SAUNDERS, CLERK, V. HARRIES. - . This was an action brought to recover damages from the Rev. Percy Bysshe Harries, rector of the parish of Corbay, near Rockingham, and llso holding a living in the parish of Deena, both in Northamptonshire, for a breach of promise of marriage. Damages were laid at 1,0001. Mr. Sergeant JONES said that the plaintiff was Miss Mary Saunders, daughter of the late Rev. John Saun ders, a clergyman of the Church of England, formerly residing at Bettw's Lodge, in the - county of Monmouth, and vicar of the parishes of Llantrissent and Llanhowell. He was no more, and his daughter was an unprotected female since she had lost her parents, and never had any brothers or sisters. The defendant (they had already heard) was a clergyman of the Church of England, and he regretted that that circumstance would compel him, in the exercise of his duty, to urge it in aggravation of the flagrancy of his conduct. The Rev. Defendant had, for the last eight or ten years, been an inhabitant of Aberyatwith, whither he had repaired to recruit his health. The plaintiff, being in delicate health, was directed, by her medical adviser, to repair to that fashionable resort, in the hope th •t she might derive strength from its salubrious air, She induced a young lady, named Jones, o accompany her, and also a young lady named Smith. The latter left in the course of a month, but Miss Saunders extended her stay at ALeryst with. In October last her appearance attracted the at tention of the reverend defendant, who frequently met her in the course of her walks. He then, influenced by an attraction which he could not resist, having been im pelled by that inexplicable problem, " love at first sight," of the young lady, resolved to visit her. He accordingly sent her the following epistle:-- "Madam,—lf pardon can be conceded for intrusion, may I venture to ask it of you? There is a general principle among strangers at watering places of intro ducing and being introduced to each other. I shall plead this privilege in my behalf, and add to it the,impossibility of becoming introduced to you by participation in the public amusements, and also I have no knowledge of a fit person to act as a friend in the case. Having premised thus far, I beg to place in your hands a curie blanche of introduction, and await your pleasure in making use of it, and I trust this mode of giving power to the lady cannot offend against delicacy, although it may, perhaps, appear at first sight to encroach rather too much upon the bounds of etiquette.—l beg to remain, madam, your devoted servant, "P. B. HARRIES; " Alfred-place, Aberyatwith, Oct. 23, 1847." This letter-was delivered on the Saturday, and the plaintiff took no notice of it. On the following Tuesday the reverend defendant presented himself at the young lady's lodgings, and was admitted to an interview with her in the presence of Miss Jones. An intimacy then commenced between the parties, and he paid her daily visits, and a few days afterwards he sent her the follow ing letter : _ _ " My dear Miss Saunders,—ln personal attraction, in ease, and elegance, and accomplishments, in kindness and cheerful temper, and if there be any other social qualities requisite to constitute domestic happiness, I be have that you possess them in an eminent degree. Lot me now, in my own straightforward way, place my situation before you, that you may at once a< e what pros pect you may have of continuing that happiness you so well deserve. It has ever been my wish to keep a good establishment, rather than an empty show. Comfort before elegance, and utility rather than fasbior , . My income is Church property, and, therefore, departs with my life. Excuse me if I look on the dark side for the future. I assure you that such anticipation is calculated rather to make the bright look brighter, and, with God's blessing, there may be golden days, and much real un mingled bliss in a rich competency. If, in God's provi dence, he should call me hence, I would wish to leave you in no worse circumstances than I find you at pre sent. I have now done with preaching, and Paul and Barnabas shall succumb to Lady Mystery and the chari ties of domestic life. The produce of two livings £7OB Curates, taxes, repairs, and general expenditure 334 Leaving an annual income for me £374 If it be worth your acceptance unencumbered, I say, with Mother Church, With all my worldly goods I thee endow.'—l am yours, devotedly, " PERCY lIYSSHE HARRIES. " Alfred-place, Oct. 27, 1847." On another occasion he sent her a long poetioal effusion, commencing;.— " Tell me, Mary, how to woo thee, Kind and gentle as thou art; How declare my love unto thee, How bare the secret of my heart." The Learned Counsel proceeded to observe that time waxed on, and the defendant became exceedingly anxious that the marriage should be celebrated forthwith; but Miss Saunders, with great propriety would not suffer it to take place until twelve months had elapsed from 'the death of defendant's first wife. At length the wedding day was fixed for the sth of April, and matters pro gressed harmoniously till the 26th of February, when the tender swain became metamorphosed into a wretched brute. He first evinced it by charging the plai❑tiff with being head-over•ears in debt, with being drunken, old, and ugly, on the faith of an anononymous letter. - He then showed his true character, and snatched from her some present he had given her—a gold watch and chain and other things, and made his escape. He returned in the course of half-an-hour, conducted himself very vio lently, and intimated his determination not to marry her. Miss Eliza Jones and several other witnesses were called, who proved the facts mentioned in the above statement. Mr. EvANs,P.C., addressed the jury for the defendant. Ile said there was no doubt the doendant had wade an engagement, and had broken it ; but the jury would put out of the question all injury to tha affections, by reason of the plaintiff's loss of an old man who had St. VittlS'ii dance. Mr. Justice WIGIITMAN then summed up ; and The jury found for the plaintiff'—Damagi•s 1001. POLICE INTELLIGENCE: BO W-S7'REET. ANOTHER CHARTIST ARREST.-1?oberl Crotty, &- scribed as a tailor, was placed at the bar before Mr. Jardine, charged with having, on Monday last, attemied a seditioas meeting at a Chartist assembly-rootn, in Dcan•.strcet, Soho, and with having at that meeting thed certai❑ seditious language. Mr. ILtywarl, from the office of the solicitor to the Treasury, attended for the prosecution. Reuben ,Brothers, 155, C division, stated that on Mon day last he attended at a meeting in a house, 83, Dean street, Soho, which was used for the purpose of Chartist meetings. • He was in plain clothes.. The meeting was held in a, room on the first floor, capable of accommo dating 200 persons conveniently. Ile was not present at the commencement of the meeting. When he arrived there were about 150 persons present, consisting of me chanics, women, children, and the lower order of Irish. The prisoner made a speech, in the course of which he used the following expression:—" The late insurrection in Paris has shown how easily a crown can be crumbled. Now is the time to be ready —now is the time to be reso lute, and the game is our own. I do not care for those persons present who wear other people's clothes. Ido not care if what I say is criminal. I, for my own part, s'sa!l do ull in my power next week to put a stop to trade, and tarp the Irish in Linden to rebellion." This last expression was receivd with loud applause. The prisoner asked whether the constable *had taken notes of his speech? Brothers sail not at the time ; he quoted entirely from memory. lie was satisfied what he stated was Correct. The prisoner said he denied the accuracy of the oon stable's evidence. He had not uttered the language im puted to him. John Gray, sergeant 15 C division, apprehended the prisoner at ten o'clock that morning at his residence, 1, Archer-street, Camden-town. lie told him fur what he apprehended him, to which he replied, " Oh, I expected it; I heard of it last night." He then put his hand in his p 'diet, and handed to a female a paper, produced, which witness took from her. Witness soon after searched his lodging, but fund nothing important beyond a few Chartist resolutions. Mr. JARDINE perused the paper the prisoner had handed to the tem.de, but he was of opinion it had no thing to do with the present charge. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said the whole of the evidence, with very little exception, was entirely a fabrication. Ho was only surprised that any magis trate could entertain a charge so vsguely stated, and by a person who bad taken no notes of the proceedingt. 4► he supposed, however, the case would go elsewhere, be should not call witnesses, or make any defence. Mr. JARDINE ordered him to enter into his own re co,:nizance in the sum of 1001., and to find two sureties i❑ 50/. each, to answer the charge at the Central Crimi nal Court. MARLBOROUGH-STREE T. - BEGGING PETITION IMPOSTORS.—CharIes Smith . and W. Johnson, both of whom have a number of other names, were re-examined before Mr. Bingham, the former on a charge of having attempted to obtain money from Sir Henry Meux under false pretences, and the latter for having defrauded the same Baronet of 101. by means of a fraudulent begging petition. Mr. BINGHAM said he did not entertain the lead doubt that the evid,nce taken established a clear case of fraud against the prisoner Johnson, and he should, therefore, send him to prison for three months. With regard to the other prisoner, Smith, proof of a former conviction had been given against him, and he should send him to prison for the same period also. ETON COLLEGE SWIMMING SCHOOL GAME& An excellent law has for some time past been enforced at Eton College, which requires that every boy shall pas the "Swimming Test,"' before he is allowed to enter a boat on the Thames. Ile is required to jump from the bank into deep water, to swim well fifty yards, and then to swim back to the place from whence he started. To encourage the practice of diving, as the most ready - way' of saving life in case of sudden accidents upon the water, as well as to give confidence to swimmers, Frizes have recently been instituted, under the superintendence of committee, consisting of the Rev. E. Coleridge, Rev. W. G. Cookesley, Rev. W. A. Carter, W. Evans, Esal,.and the Rev. H. Duperis. The swimming school games took place at Athens, on the Thames, about a mile above Windsor-bridge, in the presence of the committee, nearly the whole of the masters, and a large' as semblage of spectators. There were nearly 100 com petitors for the various prizes, which were thus awarded:—Alfred Coleridge, as the best swimmer (dia... risme 300 yards) gained the silver medal, given by lb* Windsor and Eton Royal Humane Society. The second best swimmer was Graham, to whom was awarded - 6 silver seal, with the motto, "Floreat Etona." The prise for diving (also a silver medal, given by the same $0 ciety) was awarded to Fletcher, who, in three dives, brought up from the bottom of the river, in deep water, 19 eggs. Thackeray obtained the good seal, as the best header; the second in point of merit being Sutton, So whom was presented a valuable agate seal. Ssveral pr,z,s were also given by the wasters to those boys who particularly distinguished themselves. The aquatic pro.. fessorships for this year have h en conferred as fallow:--• Tachynectic (swift swimmer), Alfred Coleridge;,- Kolym betic (diver), Fletcher; and Cephalic (header), Thacke. ray. During the games a boy named Goudlake was seized with the cramp, and immediately sunh. Mr. Evans, one of the committee (the drawing -master at the College), dived atter the boy, without divesting himself of his clothes, and, fortunately, succeeded in rescuing him. Since the establishment of the swimming school, which was founded by the Btshop of New Zealand, in 1836, '1,644 bo%s have passed the swimming test; 105 have passed during the present summer. CRICKET. HARROW V. WINCHESTER. The final score exhibited tor the Harrovian' 79 and 76, total 155 ; while the Wincbestonians mustered but. 36 and 101, and thus loft "the boys on the bill" victor by 18 runs. _ - The ground was then cleared for Harrow T. - E toe • which at the close of play left Harrow with 45 scores for six wickets down. At the close of the play on Saturday evening it Wig riot finished, but the score up to that period, as will be st.en, presents a_most favcurable appearance in favour ( na , row, who headed the Etonians by 32 on the first innings, whilst with seven wickets down they had creased that advantage by 42, or ‘• 74 on." }farrow—• Ist innings, 100; seccnd innings, 42.
