The object of this Company is to give to the public, in its inter course With the North of Europe, the full benefit of the improved 87 stem of transit for mails, passengers, and goofs, which the great 'Peed and combined arrangement of the railway system now render practicable. An immediate exten , lon of exis'ing means of transit is necessary to meet the large and increasing importation of cattle, fruit, and all agricultural products, from the North of Europe, to supply the vast Consumption of the central and manufacturing districts of England ; While the great and increasing export trale in manu:acturcd goods and materials from these districts, which are sent down by railway to the coast, requires the same improved facilities for its transport across the North Sea. T 6 meet these demands, it is intended to combine and establish a rapid and more 1, equent communication between London, Mulches . ter, Liverpool, and all the principal parts of England, and the princi pal ports and cities of the north of Europe, by means of express tearne , B tuning in connexion with express trains. The ports on the east coast of England, to and from which the Company's steamers will, in the first iNstance, arrive and depart, are Barwich, Lowestoft, and Great Grimsby. The two former situate near the entrance of the Thames. and on the extreme eastern coast of Great Britain, and in direct communication, by railways, with London and all the south and east parts of England, the latter more conveniently situate for Manchester, Sheffield, Liverpool, and all places in the north and west. Other ports of departure will be added to these as the public con- Vearience may require. • From these ports express steamers will run in combination with Impress trains, by which will be conveyed mails, passengers, specie, and merchandise, from London and the south-eastern parts of Eng land, and from Manchester, Liverpool, and all parts of the north and west of Great Britain, for Rotterdam, Antwerp, Ostend, Hamburgh, Bremen, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, Copenhagen, St. Peters burgh, and all ports of the north of Europe. By combining express trains with ft',t steamers, passengera will be Onveyea.._ FROM LONDON VIA HARWICH. To Rotterdam in • • Ostend in S FROM LONDON VIA LOWESTOFT.

This case, which was one of an extraordinary nature, was commenced today, and after occupying the Court until past six o'clock, it was adjourned. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Dawson, and Mr. Lush were for the plaintiff; Sergeant Shee, Mr. Bramwell, Q.C., and Mr. Willis were for the defendant. The declaration alleged that the plaintiff, who sued by her next friend, her uncle, being a young girl, had been placed in the charge of the defendants, who were the principal and deputy lady superiors of a Roman Catholic establishment at Norwood, and that they undertook to provide her with proper food and nourishment, and other necessaries; and it then went on to allege that as a breach of that undertaking the defendants had neglected to provide proper food, that they had worked her beyond her strength, and that they had improperly confined and otherwise ill-treated her, the consequence of which was that she became very ill and distorted in her body, and eventually lost the sight of one eye. The defendants pleaded, first, not guilty; secondly, that they were not the managers of the establishment in question, and also that the plaintiff had not been placed in the establishment for the purposes, and in the manner mentioned in the declaration. Mr. CHAMBERS, opened the case to the jury. Kenneth Griffiths, the plaintiff, was then examined. She was very plain looking, but apparently an intelligent girl. She said—l am 15 years old. I was residing lately in the establishment at Norwood, kept by the de fendant. I first went there in October. 1849, and con tinued there until last January. When I first went another lady was the superior. Dr. Wiseman placed me in the establishment. The present superior was ap pointed in April, 1851. The name of the religious was St. Tones de Gonain. The other defendant was called Madame H. Theodore. She was at the convent all the time I was there. Our diet consisted of soup for break fast. The soup was made of rice and grease. For dinner we had soup of the same description, and sometimes meat, and for supper we had usually vegetables, such as cab bage. We had meat about three times a week. We used to get up at four in the morning, and went to bed at nine. I was sometimes engaged in washing from six in the morning till six in the evening. We had no exira food on those days. I also used to help to clean the establishment. The washing was only on one day in the week. We had as much meat as we could eat. There was a trial class, which was for punishment. We used to got up at the usual time, and were placed on a low stool, and placed close to the wall, and not allowed to look round or speak. This was continued from four in the morning till nine at night.::lt was a whitewashed wall we had to look at. The punishment continued for eight days, and if we looked round, we had to begin the eight days again. I bad been placed in the trial class by Ma camel "13 ei - 47, - it 1 r ft — girt:L.9 , 0 . r e esene` e l ise:gesee'2S tiny_ aunt, and I was told my aunt had nothing to do with me; I was the Cardinal's child, and ha would be kind to me.

I was the first who was placed in the u for punishment. The lady superior came to me the day after she arrived. My eyes were very bad told her e time. She asked me why I looked so ill, and I told ht Theo that the work had overpowered me. Madame a . e dere said I had been a wicked girl; and when I asked to see a doctor she told me I was under her charge, a nd she could do what she pleased with me. I was ! f she school-room of her house, and the superior said if s he heard any more murmuring she would place le° m e H. Theodore to let me see the doctor, Mr. Chapeau' trial class-room.

When I left the con- This was part of o vent I went to l ive with my aunt. My uncle was formerly a butler in a gentleman's family. I saw my aunt in Lon before I came down to Guildford, and don two ds saint I expected s y he would have been here to give her evidence. Before I came a wa y a person, whom I believe from his dress to be a priest, came to our house and he had an interview with my aunt. I don't know what he said to her, because I was not present at their interview. The witness underwent a long and severe cross-exa mination by Sergeant SHEE.—She said, in answer to the questions put ' t o her, that before she went to the con vent at Norwood, she had been in two similar establish ments, one at Somers -town , and the other at Totten ham. A man named Waghorn formerly lived in the same house with her aunt, but she did not know that d as man an d wife, but she ha cl heard her aunt they live horn. She had also heard called by the name of Wag her called Mrs. O'Grady. The name of her present husband was Couty. The bishop of the district recom mended her for admission to the Tottenham establish ment. She was in a similar religious establishment in France, and came back to England in 1847. Her real name was Griffiths, end she was told that D r . Griffiths was her father. The bishop got her admitted to the establishment at Norwood in the name of G e ie_ fiths. He knew she was the same person he had be friended before in anot her name. The nuns at Somers town always called her O'Grady. When she went to the Norwood establishment she was not very weak and sickly, and she was not awar that t at her breath smelt offensively. The orphanage portionhe convent and that of the lady boarders were separated. The ladies paid for their board, but the orphans were kept there by charitable persons. While she was in the convent she wore the dress of the orphan inmates, and was in structed in French, geography, reading and writing, nee dle-work, washing and ironing. She went to the establishment in July and she was not punished until the month of October following. They were allowed two hours for recreation every day. In winter time they got up at half-past four, and in summer at four, and they went to read at nine. All the girls in the orphanage class rose at the same hour. The soup they had seemed to her to be made of oil. They did not always have meat on Sunday. She did not recollect ever having any roast meat on Friday, which was the fast day—they had rice pudding and vegetables. Dr. Chapman, the medi arelneeee,taeanne Weesal:eiris thici, - but is w as not on Wecoluit of her nose smelling offensively. When the doctor attended her ho ordered her to have roast meat twice a day, and porter, but none of these things were given to her until the week before she left the establishment. The doctor, on account of the state of her eyes, ordered that she should be kept in the shade, and she supposed this was why she was put into the dark room. She did not tell the doctor how she was treated, because two of the nuns were always present. Madame Theodore told the doctor she had the meat he had ordered, and she did not contradict her. She never told her aunt that she was not well treated. ller aunt asked her if she was well treated, and she told her she could not answer her, and this excited her sus picion, and induced her to make the inquiry which led to her being removed from the convent. No change was made in her food until the last week she was in the at all given house, and she had no beer ven to her. All she had was water coloured with beer. The first punishment she underwent was havin g pape r pinned a head with the words "il faut vo us fier de cet enfant" upon it. The children all spoke French i n the establishment. She was accused of taking some needles from another child, and she was punished for that. She was also charged with writing her a book that did not belong to h er . She nameaced in in the trial class before th e a ff a i r o f the robewas p being pre sented to Cardinal Wi seman .

The Cardinal, at the time the ro be was presented to him, asked if she had worked any portion of it, and she cried and did not answer, and she was sent to do the work in the kitchen as a punishment the moment he left. He was not Cardinal at that time, and they spoke of him in the convent as Dr. Wiseman. She was quite sure it was before ho went to Rome. She had never said that this took place in August, because she was sure it was in November. She underwent the pu nishment of prostration only once in the presence of Ma dame Theodosia. Her aunt was an Irishwoman. She was not formerly a Catholic, but had become one, and witness had been brought up a Catholic. After she left the convent, she went to an infirmary at Margate, and she received some assistance from Lady Arundel, to en able her to do so. Re-examined—The cold and damp and the hard work of the kitchen made her ill. She repeatedly applied to Madame Theodosia to releive her from it. but she said she could not do so without the consent of the Su perior. Mr. Alexander, the oculist, deposed that the plaintiff was brought to his residence in Cork street by her aunt, and he was told that she had come from the establish ment at Norwood. The sight of her left eye was com pletely gone, and from the condition of the right eye he had some fear for that also. The plaintiff appeared very feeble and debilitated, and he ordered that she should have nutritious food, and good sound beer every day. The second time he saw her the child did not appear to mend at all, and her eye looked worse. He inquired if she had had the description of food he recommended, and he believed he made the same inquiry of the priest, who accompanied them. After the priest had left with the child, he had an interview with her aunt, and recom mended her to remove the child, and a fortnight after, when he saw her again, there was a marked improve ment in her appearance. The plaintiff was evidently of a very scrofulous habit. Two other medical gentlemen were called, who ex pressed au opinion that at the time they saw plaintiff her appearance showed that she was not receiving proper nourishing food, such as her condition required. Mr. Leveine, the clerk to Mr. Cooper, the attorney for the plaintiff, said that for a week before the trial was expected to come on he had endeavoured to see Cardinal Wiseman, and serve bim with a subpcens, but was unable to do so. He had not served the aunt of the plaintiff with a subpoena, as she had promised to come, but he gave her money to pay her expenses. He had been in formed on the previous night that she did not intend to appear as a witness. He obtained the prospectus that had been produced at the convent. It was given to him by Madame de l'Espinesse, one of the defendants. He applied to the secretary of Cardinal Wiseman for his refined to ad dress, where he could be found, but he e give him any information. By Sergeant SHEE—Ho had in his hand the subpoena he was desirous of serving upon Cardinal Wiseman. It was addressed to Nicholas Wiseman and Giovanni Achilli.—(A laugh.) Sergeat SHEE—Wha cou h • dve in uced ou to put the name n of Dr. Achilli t on ld h a y t o subpoena? lie could know nothing of the case. The witness said it was usual to put more than one name into a subpoena. He thought it might bo advis able to procure the attendance of Dr. Achill a i. The CHIEF JUSTICE—Wh a t for?

Madame D'Osville, the former lady superior of the convent, was thee examined.—She gave her evidence in French, which was translated by an interpreter. She said that she held the office of superior of the este blishmeut at Norwood until the Month of June, 1851, when the defendant, Madame de l'Espinesse, succeeded t:er. There was an orphanage attached to the convent for the du:cajun of the poor, nod the chief aim of the edecation aff,e-ded them was to enable them to ()Meth their living in the world. They were tau ht readintz• riting, gratniaer, how to wash, &c., and they assisted is doing the work of the house. They usually rose at helC-past four or five. and scout to bed at nine, and dif ferent parkas were allowed them for recreation dui! e: the el3y. They had for their meals during the day soup, bread sod cheese, fruit, an d vege tables, en] four times a week they had mea t. The trial class room was a largo room with two win. doe's In it, and the faces of the child' cu were turned to the wall to preveet them from having the temptation of speaking. They were never confined in this room for any lengthened period, but wore always permitted t o hevo their meals and to take exercise tiuring the day. When the plaintiff came to the institution she appeared to be very weak and feeble, and appeared scrofulous, and seemed to have something the matter with her nose. Only 121. was paid with her for one year, and she was eeted with every kindness and attention while she was in the establishment. Cross- examined—Cardinal Wiseman paid her the 121. That was all she received. The Cardinal did not bring her himself to the institution, but he had a very great kindness for her. There was no regular dietary table except for the poor children. The boarders were better fed. There wero two classes of nuns in the establish ment, lay and clerical, and ono of each class superin tended the kitchen arrangements. A certain amount of food was allowed for the children, but she believed they always had more. When any of the children required itensat was given to them every day. They always had most meat for dinner on Thursdays. It was either mutton or beef. Would swear that one leg of mutton was not all th at was placed upon the table for the dinner of servants or seventy-five children. If one joint was not enough, another was always placed on the table. At the cl ose o f the cross-examination of ❑ this witnss the case was adjourned. The case was resumed on Friday morning, at ten o'clock, by th e cont i nuation of the examination' of the witnesses fur the defendants, when it was again ad journed. ROYAL WEST EItNYACHT CLUB REGATTA. PLYMOUTH, TIIIIRSDAY.—The annual meetinfuobf'the yachts belonging to the Royal W estern Yacht c Royal Yacht Squadron, and other kind re d institat,' the commenced here yesterday under the most favourableris and encouraging auspices. This regatta, us is perhaps well known, was in honour of Prince Alfred's birth-day, and it needed but ber Ma jesty's cup to make the interest of it complete; but even this deficiency will, no doubt, be again supplied on Some no very distant occasion, from the fact of the deep interest her Majesty has felt in the welfare of this great naval depot, as expressed by her on her late visit. The first race on the card was a schooner race for 45/., open to all schooners bond fide the property of a member of a Royal Yacht Club, and holding the Admi ralty Warrant, for which the following yachts were entered:— Bianca, C. F. Webster, Esq.; Princess Olga, J. Ruther ford, Esq.; Coquette, Lord Godolphin; Julia, F. Dug more, E q ; Halcyon, Sir W. Snow Harris. The course was through the eastern channel of the breakwater, round a mark vessel moored off the Mew stone, thence to another mark vessel moored off Penlee Point, leaving both on the starboard hand, returning through the Western Channel rounding the buoy of the Cobbler, which was to be left on the port hand, thence round the committee vessel, which was also to be left on the pert hand, proceeding again round the course as before, such vessel to be the winning-post in the last round, passing between it and the shore. A time race on Acker's scale. All being in readiness, the starting gun was fired at 1111. 13m. 305., and a very excellent start was effected, tut the Bianca, like lightning, got her mainsail and tole sail set, and soon shot ahead, followed closely in her wake by the Coquette, and thirdly by the Princess Olga, the halcyon and Julia being somewhat tardy in getting under weigh. The Bianca seemed to gather the wind very rapidly, and went round the Mewstone under a heavy press of sail, but on getting round the breakwater. the Princess o:ga managed to overhaul her, and suc ceeded in first rounding the mark-vessel at Penlee Poin - , followed closely by the Biancl. On rounding the Ceb bier, the Princess Olga close reefed, was running under a heavy press of sail, her mainmast bending like a rod, but she appeared to stand well under it, although on corning in towards the committee's vessel she was com pelled to loner her topgaffsail, but this was of little fan first about half-a-mile ahead of her immediate riv --- •.Uni time of arrival was as under:— H, S.

Snow Harris struck his flag, and gave up all farther share in the con test. She shortly afterwards went into the Catwater to lay up, and make good her damage. The second round was uumarked by any particular change worthy of comment, the Princess Olga, how ever, continuing to gain over the Bianca, and increasing the distance between them. The relative positions were unaltered, as will be seen below: — H.

Musquito leading away in a out a head from among the group, manner that showed that she was i n excellent hands, tollowed closely by the Bacchante and Violante. An unfortunate incident occurred at this early period, by which the chances of the War Hawk, a fine vessel, and sister to the winner of one of the great prizes at the Imperial Regatta at So Petersburgh, were completely frustrated. No sooner had she attempted to get up her mainsail, when her mainsail halyard gave way, and her sail fell upon the deck. This was such an accident that would, under ordinary circumstances, have been a suffi cient reason for at once giving up the contest, but the energy of her crew was not to be daunted, and it w as truly astonishing to see how soon . her hands mounted the ratline, removed the fractured pieces, and within ten minutes she was again supplied with new halyards, and mainsail, and ga mepsail, and following her mo re fortu nate rivals. The celerity of her men excited the warmest admiration of all who had witnessed their move ments under these trying circumstances.

The occasion was honoured by the presence of the ex . Queen of the French, the Duke and Duchess of Ne mours and suite, who were on a visit to the Port Ad miral, Sir John Onamaney. A spacious tent was erected for their accommodation on the grounds of the Citadel, where the royal party, with Admiral Sir John Ommaney and other officers, remained during the greater part of the afternoon, and appeared to be highly gratified with the amusements that were going on below. The band of the 35th Regiment was stationed near the ramparts, and entertained the visitors with some very choice music. The vessels in the harbour, as before, were dressed in the colours of different countries, and with the numerous yachts that dotted the Catwater and the entrance to the Hamoaze, viewed from the heightsof the Hoe, looking towards the Breakwater, presented a PEAS c__ //i7 [PRICE SD. scene of picturesque bL elsewhere in Englatid is van. The first race of the jay was the Town Plate of ay.. presented by the inhabitnnts of P4mouth, open to all yachts of 25 tcos and npwards, bona fide the property of a metaber of a royal yacht club, and holding the Ad• miraltywarrant. Tha fallowing vessels were entered:— Volante, 48 tons, Mr. J. L. Craggie; War Hawk, 50 tons, Mr. T. Bartlett; Mucquito, 50 tons, Lord Landes borough. The course was as follows:—On the signal being made to start the vessels to proceed through the eastern chan nel of the breakwater, round a mark vessel, moored off sn P teihl e ne n gz l c e ,tah e oarb P oabtu o gl oeg i a n rhi i n , ewt l hrh e ote a ihuc v wenh i nde winning -post tit hen b treo o nn t ic h nbo ue o n the starboard hand, re the Mew Stone, thence to another mark vessel moored proceedingvoot ueffffsr -r s l oe e channel,sfatt ois before, roundingthe eee Ipaa the osnr,dt whha roundni buoycdi; nd it place the a shore. h. pa A ssi g ng oodbesttw aretento 2G , -riin. 30sec.. with a stiff brei ze blowing from the W.S.W , the Volante as usual being the first to get under weigh'. The Mosquito was slow to set her mainsail, daring which lime the War Hawk took a lead about the length of her bowsprit, but no sooner had the Musquito made sail than she lay close to the wind, soon recovered her lost- ground, and passed rapidly in advance, with a fair prospect of over hauling the Volaute, who was now mahirg way ra ,idly up the eastern channel. On proceeding towards the Shagstone Rock a schooner came nearly at a _ aar , of the War Hawk, and for the time took th e wind unt of her sails, but the schooner put about and she precee.icd a short distance astern of the Mosquito. They all pr,N ceeded in this order for some considerable distance, bur on getting outside the breakwater they got a heavy lop of tea, which the Mosquito soon found to her advantage as it enabled her speedily to overhaul the Volante, and she finally took the lead, the Volante and tho War Hawk being up well together a very short distance astern. The wind now freshened, but only to add another dis comforture to the War Hawk to that recorded of her yesterday, when her main-halyards gave way at the moment of starting. In this instance the matter was one of much greater importance, as it put a peremptory stop to all further progress on her part, and also to that of the yacht who went to her as sistance. At 12 minutes after 2, when on making her way outside the Breakwater, under a heavy press of sail, her mainmast snapped in two, and fell over, dragging ' down her mainsails, but this was preserved, we believe, uninjured. The Volante immediately gave up the race, and went to her assistance, and signals were made to the Mosquito that the match was for the present at an end. 6he accordingly put about and returned, and a warp being thrown out to the War Hawk the Volante towed her back to the Catwater, for the purpose of being fitted with a new mainmast, and undergoing some other neces sary repairs. The facts of the case were soon reported to the committee, who decided that, under the circum stances, as the Volante was justified in going to the assistance of the War Hawk in the situation in which she was placed, no result had been obtained by the Mus quito, and they accordingly determined that the m a t c h should be sailed for again on the following day. M r , Bartlett, the owner of the War Hawk , said he had been assured that a new mast could be put into her in time, but if this should be found impracticable he would con sent that the match should then come off between the Volante and Musquito. This was agreed to, and so far the matter terminated. The next was a cutter race for 251., opeu to all cut ters from 15 to 30 tons and upwards, bowl fide the pro perty of a member of a Royal Yacht Club, and holding the Admiralty warrant. Time race, 15 seconds per ton. The courso - the same as for the 50/. Plate, a distance of nearly 40 miles. The following yachts were entered: — Blue Belle, 28 tons, Captain Roebuck; Fawn, 25 Mr. 11.

Iu the afternoon, a great number of races got up by the Town Regatta Committee followed, the first of which was by the ordinary boats of the dockyard belonging to t'm different ships of war, for a of 101. The com petitors for thin prize were very numerous, no less a Lumber than tweet}-four Ltarting.

At the given signal four boats started, and the way these aquatic Amazons pulled a may at the oar would have put many of the would-be amateurs of the " rougher" sex to the blush for the feebleness of their exertions. We did not learn the names of the fortunate " ladies" who became entitled to the prize, as some wrangling was going on among them, the decision of which, of course, resting with the com mittee. beauty that might be sought for ;7_ ROYAL BRITISH BANK. A meeting of the proprietors of this bank was held yesterday, when the half-yearly report from the court of directors was untinimeusly adopted. The report states that n otwithstanding the depressing effsct of the super abundance of money on the profits of banking, it has been comparatively less felt in the business of this bank, because the larger portion of its advances are on cash credit accounts and loans on convertible securities—me thods of accommodation to the public which are not subject to the same fluctuations in the rates of interest which occur in the discount of purely commercial paper. The number of accounts opened during the year have considerably increased, of which the deposits made for periods of six months have had the larger share of the increase, showing an improvement in the number and circumstances of the depositors. The rates of interest allowed by the bank have not been diminished, as has been done by other establishments, notwithstanding which an addition for the past half-year has been made to the reserved fund of 5 per cent. on the paid-up Ca pital, increasing that fund to 5,9061. 19s. lod., and the sum of 5171. 10s. ed. has been written off from the pre liminary expcnses and property account, which , Baer paying a dividend o f 5 per cent. to the proprietors, leaves 337/.
