The object of this Company is to give to the publ c, in its in ter ennrse with the North of Europe, the full benefit of the improved System of transit for mails, passengers, and goo Is, which the great Wed and combined arrangement of the railway system now render practicable. An immediate exten•ion of exis i g means of transit is necessary , to meet the large nad in-reasing 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 grtat and increasing export tra le in maniractured goods end materials from these districts, which are sent down by railway " to the coast. requires the same impr-ved facilities for its - transport idiom the North Sea. To meet these demands, it is intended to combine and establish a rapid and more f equent communi •atien between London, Manches ter, Liverpool, and all the principal parts of England, and the pi inci , Pal ports and cities of the north of Europe, by means of express tkallle" 8 ranging in connexion with express trains. The ports on the cast coast of England, to and from which the Company's-steamers will, In the first itistance, arrive and depart, are Harwich, 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 mirth and west. Other ports of departure will be added to these as the public con -entree may require. From these ports express steamers will run in combination with 'express trains, by which will be conveyed mails, passengers, specie, and merchandise, from London and the south-eastern parts of Eng land, and from Manchester, Liver, 001, and all parts of the north an west ot Great Britain, for Rotterdam, Antwerp, Ostend, llamburgh, Bremen, Denmark, Norway and Sweden, Copenhagen, St. Peters , unrgh, and all ports of the north of Europe.

GRIFFITHS V. DE L'ESPINESSE AND ANOTHER. This case, which was one of ahextraordinury nature, was commenced to-day, and after occupying the Court until past six o'clock, it wag alowned. 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 thedefendant. 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 alit 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 worked her b e y on d her strength, an d th a t th e y 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 eyls. The defendants pleaded, first, -snot 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 purpotes, 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.

The present superior was ap pointed in April, 1851. The naine,of the religious was St. Tones do Gouzin. The eeher defendant was called Madame H. Theodore. She was at the convent all the lime I was there. Our diet consisted of soup for break fast. The soup was made of rico sad grease. For dinner we had soup of the same description, and sometimes moat, and for supper we had usually vegetables, such as cab bage. We had meat a b ou t th ree ti mes a week. We used to get up at four in the morning, andSwent to bed at nine. I was sometimes engaged in washing frem 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 get up at the usual time, and were placed on a last stool, and placed close to the wall, and not allowed to look round or speak. This was continued from four in the morning till Dino at night.: It was a whitewashed wall we bad to look at. The punishment continued for • btidaYlv- swi ft' we looked round, we h again.

She was in a similar religious establishment in France, and came back to England in 1847. Her real name was Griffiths, and she was told that Dr. Griffiths was her father. The bishop got her admitted to the establishment at Norwood in the name of Grif fiths. He knew she was the same person ho had be friended before in another 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 aware that her breath smelt offensively. The orphanage portion of the 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 Frebch, 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 ,hourp for recreption every day. In wiater time they got up at•blalf..past four., and in summer at ,four, and, they went to read at nine. All the girls sin the orphanage ' class rose at the same hour. The soup they had seemed _to her to be made of oil. They did not al ways have emeat wn Sunday. She did not recollect ever having any rasitiliearcreirriday; which W as. the haat clay -obey ticey bas rice pudding and•regetables. Dr. Chapman, the medi, cal gentleman belonging to the ottablish ment, attended . her before her eyes were had, but it was not on account of her nose smelling offensively. When the do c tor attended her he 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 state of her ordered that she should be kept in the shade, and eyes, , and she supposed this was why she was put not into the da r k room . Sh e didtell the she was treated, because two of the nuns were always present. Madame Theodore told thedo c tor s he had t h e meat meat he had ordered, and she did not contradict her. She never told her aunt Her aunt asked h er 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 house, and she had no beer all given to her. All she had was water coloured witt . beer The first punishment a she underwent was h av i ng paper pinned upon her head with the word s "il faut vous mefier de cet enfant" upon it. The children all spoke French in the establishment. She was accused of taking some needles from anoth er child, and . she was punished for that. She was a lso charged writing her name in a'book that did not belong t wi tr. She was placed in the trial class before th e affair of e the robe being pre sentedsto Cardinal Wise'man.

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 She underwent was sure it was in November. 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 she received some assistance from Lady Arundel, to en able her to do so. Reexamined—The cold and damp and the hard wotk 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, stid 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 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 an 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 , toe attorney for night e that she did not i ntend to expenses. IL h a d been the plaintiff, said that for a week before the trial w as expected to come on he had endeavoured to see Cardi na l Wiseman, and servo him with a subpoena, but was u na bl e to do so. He had not served the aunt of the pl a i nt iff with a subpana, as she had promised to come, b ut he in formedgave appear h e as a the o w n i e t y n to s. previous ps rl y e obtained th e prospectus that r on had been produced at the convent. It wa s g i ven to hi m by Madame de l'Espinesse, one of th e d e f endants. He applied to the secretary of Cardinal Wi seman f or his lesher ad dress, where he could be found, but he refused to give him any information. By Sergeant SHEE—He 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.) ut Sergeant SHEE--What could have induced you to p . , the name of Dr. Achilli on t h e subpmaa? coula know nothing of the case. mo re than one The witness said it was usua l to pat . ht be advis name into a subpcene.

He did not' know of any must ln o.mng money. The CHIEF JUSTICE said they had nothing to do with the question who found the money. The ear.e tried like any other case, and these inquires h a d, ,L• whatever to do with the matter issue. This was the vas e for the plai at ntiff. Madame D'Osville, the former lady superior of the caevent, was then examined._Sho gave her evidence in French, which was translated by an interpreter. She Said that she-held the office of superior of the este , bli.dament at Norwood until the month of June, 1851, when the defendant, Madame do l'Espinesse, succeeded her. There was an orphanage attached to the convent, for the education of the poor, and the chief aim of the education afforded them was to enable them to obtain their living in the world. They were taught reading, writing, grammar, how to wash, &c., and th e y assisted in doing the work of the house. They usually rose at half-past four or five, and went to bed at nine, and dif ferent periods were allowed them for recreation during the day. They had for their meals during the day soup, bread and cheese, fruit, and vege tables, and four times a week they had moat. The trial class room was a large room with two win. dews in it, and the faces of the children were turned to the wall to prevent them from having the temptation of speaking. They were never confined in this room for any lengthened period, but were always permitted to have their meals and to take exercise during the day When the plaintiff came to the institution she appeared to bo very weak and feeble, and appeared scrofulous, and seemed to ha ve some thi ng the matter with her nose. Only 121. was paid with her for one year, and she was;, treated 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. Tho boarders were better fed. Thera were two classes of nuns in the establish ment; lay and clerical, and one of each' class superin tended the kitchen arrangements. A certain amount of food was allowed for the children, but she believed they alwayS bad more. When any of the children required it meat was given to them every day. They always had moat meat for dinner on Thursdays.' It was either oaf.asnot seventy-five u o p h o i n ldr th en etab i l t e o f n a e r t j h o e in d t in w n a er s mutton or beef.

PLYMOUTH, THURSDAY.—The annual meeting of the yachts belonging to the Royal Wester n Yacht Club, the 1?oyal Yacht Squadron, and other kindred institution s comm , need here yesterday under the most fa voura bl e and encouraging auspices. This regatta, us is perhaps well known, was in honour of Prince Alfred's birth-day, and it needed but her 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 451., open to all schooners bona 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, pit hand, thence round the committee vessel, which was also. to be left on the port 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 Ackeed scale. All being in readiness, the starting gun was fired at 11h. 13m. 305., and a very excellent start was effected, but the Bianca, like lightning, got her mainsail and top 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 Mevvstone under a heavy press of sail, but on getting round the breakwater. the Princess Olga managed to overhaul her,' and sue-. ceeded in first rounding "themark , :•vessel Penlee ,Point, followed closely by the Bianca. On rountlini'the .

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 th e g re at prizes at the Imperial Regatta at St. Petersburgh, were completely frustrated. No sooner bad she attempted to get up 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 aSU .thent reasorefor at once giving up the coatest,butL energy of her crew was not to be daunted, and i t was truly astonishing to see how soon her hands mounted the ratline,• removed the fractured pieces ' an minutes she was again supplied with newdwithin ten halyards, and mainsail, and gafftopsail, and following her more fortu nate rivals.

The occasion was honoured by the presence of the ex-Queen of the French, the Duke and Duchess ot Ne mours and suite, who were on a visit to the Port Ad miral, Sir John Ommaney. A spacious te n t was erected for th e ir accommodation, on the gro un d s o f t h e Citadel, where the royal party, with Admiral Si: John Omroanev and other efficer3, remained during the greater part of the afternoon, and appeared to be highly f:ratified with the amusements that we re go i ng on b elow . The band of the 35 th Regiment was stati one d near the ramparts, and entertained the visitors with some very choice music.

L. Craggie; War Hawk, 50 tons,'Mr. T. Bartlett; Musquito, 50 tons, Lord Londes 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 the Mew Stone, thence to another mark vessel moored off. Peplee Point, leaving both on the starboard hand, re turning through the western channel, rounding the buoy off' the Cobbler., which is to b e l e f t on E b el port hand, p re r e o s c e e l ed w in a g eto again e' round the cour se as before, and which be the winni ng - post i n the last round passing between it and the shore. A good start took place at lh. 2631 in. 30sec , with a stiff breeze blowing f rom t h e W.S.W., the Vo lante . as usual being the first to get under weigh. The Mesquite was slow to set her mainsail, during which time 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 Volante, who was now making her way ra pidly up the eastern channel. On proceeding towards the Shagstone Rock a schooner came nearly athwart of the War Hawk, and for the time took the wind out of her sails, but the schooner put about and she proceeded a short distance astern of the Musquito. They all pro ceeded in this order for some considerable distance, but on getting outside the breakwater they got a heavy l op of sea, which the Musquito soon found to her advantage to overhaul the Volante, and a he ve V ry o s l h an or te t d a is n t d aho th e e ast W er a n r . comforture to the War Hawk to that recorded of her sTaHhshaeiewt fina ll y wind nnb aae binyl engdtoouwophkef wellet speedily freshened, lead, togetherbut t only to add another dis yesterday, when her main-halyards gave wAy at the motoent of starting.

At 12 minutes after 2, whey on making her way outside the Breakwater, under a heavy press of sail, her mainmast snapp e d in two, and fell over, dragging down her mainsails, bat this was preserved, we believe, uninjured. The Volante immediately gave up the race, and went to her assistance, and signals were made to the Musquito that the match was for the present at an end.

At the given signal four boats started, and the way these aquatic Amazons pulled a way at tho oar would have put many of the would-be amateurs of the " rougher" sex to the blush for the feebleness of their exertions.
