FRANCE. A report having been mentioned in some of the journals that the cholera had broken out at Nice, the British Consul in that city, M Lacroix, has written to contradict Ole - report, and enclosed certificates to the Bain( ant from the two English resident physicians, Doctors Travis and Gurney. The Consul, after declaring that there was not the slightest foundation for the report that the cholera had appeged at Nice, adds, " It is the opinion of the medicl? board that never was the sanitary state of this place more satisfactory than it is at present. It may also be mentioned as a striking fact that, in the former outbreak of the cholera in this country, whilst other places on the same line of coast were severely visited by the malady, the average annual mortality,of Nice was only increased by about twenty deaths." AUSTRIA. Letters from Pesth of the 29th of September (pub lished in Lloyd), state that it was understood in that city that the concessions to the garrison of Comorn would include the granting of passports to foreign countries to all those compromised in the rebellion, it being obligatory upon the insurgents to leave Hun gary within 48 hours. There was also a report afloat that 600,000 florins would be granted to the inhabitants of Comorn for " the raising of that city from its ruins ;" and it was even believed that some arrange ment would be made for the redemption of the paper money in actual circulation. The Ost-DeutsChe Post, on the other hand, states that the troops in the garrison were to receive eight days' pay, and that the compromised leaders were to be allowed to depart. The same paper adds that the capitulation had been already confirmed by the Em peror. According to the Breslau Zeitung there were 7,000 regular troops and 18,000 honveds in Comorn. AUSTRIA AND TURKEY. A letter from Vienna of the 27th ult. says—" It is reported to. day that Kossuth and the other leaders of the Hungarian insurrection, who were at Con stantinople, have embarked for England. It is also said, that the Austrian and Russian Ambassadors immediately presented a note demanding a sum of one hundred millions of piastres, being the amount of the treasure which the rebels had carried off with them. It is added that the Sultan had gone to Broussa. We wait with impatience for the confirmation of this intelligence. The new loan continues to attract subscribers both in Vienna and the provinces. The sum already subscribed in Austria itself amount to 16 millions. Condemnations are rapidly going on at Pesth. A workman has been condemned to eight years' hard labour for making use of insulting expressions towards the Emperor. It is positively stated that General Nugent has fallen into disgrace for having pre maturely announced the surrender of Comorn, which he was compelled to contradict in a few hours. The Archduke Francis and the Archduchess Sophia, the august relatives of the Emperor, went yesterday to the Palace of Schcenbrunn to offer their congratu lations to Marshal Radetzky. They will shortly re turn to Ischl. Marshal llaynau has - .gone to Pres burg. The Austrian army will be divided into 44 corps darmee, which may be abolished at any mo ment. It will have six regiments of artillery. The postal reform has given general satisfaction, as the dispatch of letters and journals is much accelerated. It is said that Brody will lose its commercial privi leges as well as Venice; public opinion is divided on the policy of this measure." HAMBURGH. (From the Hamburgh Borsenhalle.) HANEDURGII, OCT. 2.—The llamburgh Senate, in answer to the protest of the constituency to the mea sures lately proposed, have simply referred the same to the assent of the corporation of citizens, and re commended a peaceable adjustment of the difference with the committee appointed for that purpose. At Schleswig a meeting was held by a large num ber of inhabitants, to deliberate on the late steps of the new Provisional Administration, especially with regard to the annulling of the fundamental law of 1848, and a solemn protest was resolved upon, cha racterising that measure as high treason. The Upper Court of Appeals for both duchies, re siding at Kiel, has also intimated to the said Adminis tration that it cannot recognise the actual state of affairs brought on by the acts of the Administration as legal and valid, and that It can only attend to those affairs as far as requisite for the interests of the litigant parties. Besides M. Von Plessen, newly commissioned Amtmann for Tondern, in North Schleswig, also M. Von Konnerup Borch (Danish Conseiller d'Etat and one of the old refugees from Schleswig), on a mission to the town of Schleswig for the purpose of re-op posing the old Danish stamp on the supply of stamped paper at the respective public offices, has been miserably turned out of his place by the in habitants. The greater part of the Schleswig recruits called in by the Schleswig-Holstein Statholdership for the Ist of October are eagerly joining their regiments, despite of the late prohibition of the new Adminis tration. To judge by the circumstance that the salaries of the functionaries, pensions, expenditures for the public institutions, &c., in Schleswig, due on the Ist of Oc tober, are not paid, it would appear the new Adminis tration has exhausted its funds. The Constitutional Correspondence of Berlin states that the negotiations for peace are shortly to com mence at that place. Chamberlain Reedtz has been recalled, and replaced by M. Von Pechlin as Danish Commissary. Exchanges an negotiated on London, three months, at 13 11 money ; short, 13 12j bills and money ; Paris, three months, 186 money; short, 184 f money ; Amsterdam, three months, 35 40 bills and money ; Petersburgh, three months, 33i money ; Vienna, three months, 155 money ; Berlin, three months, 1511 money.

ITALY. Monseignor GAribaldi, Nuncio of the Holy See al the Court of Naples, is nominated Nuncio at Paris. The Riforma . of Lucca states from Rome, 26th ult., that MM. Mercier and Galli had returned to Rome. The latter had not been able to obtain from the Pope the authorisation to sell the ecclesiastical lands already mortgaged by the Pope. The deficit was stated at 3,000,000 francs per month ; moreover the non-payment of the interest of the debt and of the Treasury bills become due, is not likely to:inspire capitalists with confidence for the conclusion of a loan. The Duke of Parma has published a decree, authorising the President of Grace, Justice, and. Police to concede, in the name of the Duke, dispensa tions of impediments to matrimony. The Milan Gazette publishes a notification by Count Montecuccoli, dated Milan, 28th ult., an nouncing that the convention concluded between Austria and Piedmont on the 4th of Decem ber, 1834, and ratified on the 16th of March, 1835, for the repression of smuggling on the waters of the Lago Maggiore, the Po, and the Ticino, shall commence to be again enforced from the Ist of October, 1849, on the condition expressed by Art. 24 of the said convention, namely, that it shall be under stood to continua for successive periods of two years, until either of the Governments shall give three months' notice of its cessation. The masters of laden boats entering the waters of the Po and the Ticino are, therefore, directed to declare their cargoes to the first custom-house on their way, on pain of being treated as smugglers. General Gorzkowski, Civil and Militar" Governor of Venice, has issued a notification, dated the 26th ult., directing that the jurisdiction of the Tribunal of Appeal, and that of the Criminal Tribunal of Venice, shall, from the let of October, extend over all the Venetian provinces, as was the case before March, 1848. Th e sect i ons of appea l of V erona, P a d ua , an d Treviso, as also the criminal jurisdiction provisionally attributed to the tribunals of Udine, Treviso, and itovigo, are to cease on the 30th of September. By another notificatio n o f th e 25th, any resistance offered to the revenue officers shall be judged and punished by martial law. SICILY. Letters from Naples of the 27th ult. s t a t e t h at Sicily is to have a separate administration distinct from Naples, a Consult or Chamber chosen by the muni cipalities, and that the Prince de Casaro is to be ap pointed Viceroy. Two distressing cases of cholera occurred in West Allington, Bridport, during this week. A child of a car penter, who was just recovering from the small-pox, was seized and carried off by it very rapidly. The mother lifted up her arms suddenly, and cried out "Now I am taken." She was smitten on Friday evening, and was a corpse during the night. Bridport has had much diarrhcsa, but only a few cases of cholera. The present cases are peculiarly distressing. To add to the calamity, the husband was absent from home, at Lyme, and was only sent for this morning at six o'clock, after his wife's death, so that on his return, he finds his wife and child corpses. A CLERICAL MATORe — APPLEBY.—The Reverend Thomas Bellas, Vicar of Bongate, has been elected mayor of this borough for the enauing year.— Westmore. land Gazette. MINING INTELLIGENCE (From the Mining Journal.) The transactions during the week have been con siderable, and a much larger amount of business might have been transacted, if sellers could have been found ; negotiations, however, are still going on for shares in most of our dividend-paying mines, which appear to be in demand for investment. Treviskey and Barrier, Tincroft, Stray Park, and Trelawny, have been sought for at advanced prices, and in some of these mines a large number of shares have changed hands. East Wheal Rose, South Frances, South Basset, North Pool, and Great Consols are also inquired for. East Pool is represented as looking very well, and North Pool continues to improve in the bottom level, which is worth from 601. to 701. per fm., and the late discovery in the 24 fm. level is producing five tons per fm. Shares in the following mines have been sold dur ing the week :—East Wheal Rose, South Basset, Tincroft, Trehane, Trelawny, Mary Ann, Treviskey and Barrier, Mendip Hills, Lewis, Bedford United, Stray Park Camborne Consols, West CAradon, Birch Tor and Vitifer, Devon and Courtenay, and West Providence. In foreign mines there has been a fair proportion of business done, and the following have changed hands, with buyers still in the market :—United Mexican, Copiapo, St. John del Rey, National Brazilian, Alten, Imperial Brazilian, Australian, Gua dalcanal, Ike. . By private letters we learn that some important discovery has been made at Bon Accord (adjoining Burra Burra Mine, in South Australia), one-third part of which belongs to the North British Australa sian Company; and a demand, in consequence, has taken place for shares at an advance on former quota tions. Official reports are daily expected from the mine. THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United Service Gazette) SHIPS COMMISSIONED. —Our anticipations have been in some measure realised with reference to the com missioning of more ships; but the news from Turkey should have obliged the Admiralty to have brought, at least, five line-of-battle ships forward. The following ships have had captains appointed to them during the last few days:— Sailing Vessels—Leander, 50, Captain nacres, Ports mouth; Serpent, 12, Commander Barker, Portsmouth. Steamers—Firebrand, 8, Captain Knox, Woolwich; Spiteful, 6, Commander Carmichael, Devonport; Con flict (schooner), 14, Commander Drake, Devoeport. In addition to these, the Ganges, 84, arrived at De vonport from Cork, has been ordered to fill up her com plement from 500 to 750. The Superb, 80, at Spithead, has not yet received instructions to complete her full ship's company. For the above ships 1,370 officers, seamen, and marines will be required. About 200 blue jackets are and speedily will be available, who have re ' turned, or are returning, from leave; and we are in formed that, on inquiry at Liverpool, there are about 350 seamen in the Sailors' Home, and that the number of unemployed is increasing as the timber ships arrive. THE CAPTAINS' GOOD SERVICE PENSION.—We are now enabled to announce that the Captains' Good Ser vice Pension, vacant by the promotion of Rear-Ad miral Sir Gordon Bremer, has beau conferred on the Gallant Officer named by us a fortnight kince-Com modore Sir Thomas Herbert, K.C.8., who is about re turning to England from three years' service as Com mander-in- Chief of the Brazils Station. THE LIEUTENANT'S OUT-PENSION OF GREENWICH. —The vacant Lieutenant's Out-Pension of Greenwich Hospital has been conferred upon Lieutenant Edward Cole (1806), a most gallant old officer, who was pressed into the service in 1798, as Captain of the maintop of the Inflexible, 64, and was rated a midshipman of the Iptedoubt, 50, the folloveing year. THE NEW STEAM-VESSELS FOR THE RESERVE SQUADRON.—Fresh orders have been issued with respect to the Megaara, screw-frigate, Desperate, Magician, and Buzzard, screw-sloops, in the Thames. They are to have their guns and carriages, and fittings, in all re spects, ready before they are navigated to Sherness. Captain Philip King, R.N. (1830), is about to emi grate to New South Wales, having received a grant of land from the Colonial-office. THE SHELL JACKET NUISANCE.—A rumour is Cur rent that her Majesty has signified her wish that this most unpopular innovation upon decency should be set aside, and a blue frock coat be again substituted. This must be cheering news, now that the cold weather is coming on. FUEL FOR BARRACKS.—The Board of Ordnance have notified to barrack masters that the summer allowance of coals to the troops in barracks will comnaence on the Ist May, instead of Ist April, and the winter allowance on the Ist Nov., instead of Ist Oct., in every year. The Enrolled Pensioners will not be called out again for exercise during the present year. PORTSMOUTH GARRISON.—The 4th, 77th, and the Ist battalion of the gist Regiment, with a Company of Sappers and Miners, and a small-arm battalion of the Royal Marine Artillery, were brigaded on Southsee Common on Thursday, for drill, by Major-General Lord Frederick Fitzektrence, G.C.11., commanding the District. SCENE IN A REVISING BAR RISTER'S COURT. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) MORPETII, FRIDAY, OCT. 5.—A scene of a very amusing character occurred in the Revising Barris ter's Court in this town on Wednesday, which had well nigh resulted in a violent assault being inflicted upon the presiding judge, Mr. Thomas Jefferson llogg, by Mr. Woodtnan, a respectable solicitor, and Town clerk of this borough. The matter has given riL , e to a very considerable degree of gossip among the in habitants, and deserves a brief chronicle. Mr. Jefferson Hogg, the Revising Barrister, has for many years past revised the list of voters fur this borough, and also for the county of Northumberland, in which it is situate. It will be remembered that he was one of the Commissioners appointed to examine into the municipal corporations preparatory to the passing of the Municipal Corporation Reform Bill, and that he was strongly biassed in favour of the old corporate system in some, if not all, of the towns which he visited and reported upon, so much so indeed, that, if my memory does not fail me, he not only refused to sign the general report of the Commissioners to the House of Commons, but drew up and presented a protest against that report. He it was' likewise who, some two years ago, wrote a some what indiscreet and intemperate letter to Sir Robert Peel on the subject of his (the writer's) share in that commission, which went the round of the newspapers. With considerable urbanity and courtesy of manner, and with a temper admirably cool, Mr. Hogg, never theless, can, and does, occasionally use language to persons transacting business in his court, under which they absolutely wince, such is its severity. It was whilst administering a reproof of this kind to an overseer that the circumstances arose which I shall presently relate. Mr. Woodman, to whom I have referred, in his capacy of Town•clerk, and also as an agent of the Liberal interest in this county, has been brought fre quently in contact with Mr. Hogg, and it would seem that some angry feelingexisted between them ; for it is said, that whilst the other gentlemen in attendance on the court on Wednesday rose to receive the Bar rister on his entering the court, Mr. Woodman did not join in that customary mark of courtesy. The princi pals being thus brought before the reader, I shall now relate what transpired, so far as I have been able to collect it from the lips of the bystanders. Besides Mr. Woodman, I ought to mention that Mr. Fenwick, the agent of Lord Carlisle, and Mr. Anthony Charlton, a respectable attorney in the town, were among the principal persons present in the court, and also a son of Mr. Woodman, now under articles to his father. A man named Dobson, who has for many years been the permanent overseer of Bedlington, part of this borough, presented the list of claimants in his parish to the Revising Barrister for revision, in the ordinary way, whereupon The Barrister took occasion to administer a very severe rebuke to the overseer on the filthy state in which his list was, remarking that it was disgraceful to him, and that he was wholly unfit for the situation which he held, and applying several offensive epithets to him. He then called upon the overseer to produce his rate-book, which being done, he (the Barrister) animadverted in equally if not more offensive terms upon the condition of that document. Mr. Woodman, with some little warmth of manner, rose and said he begged the Barrister's pardon for interrupting him for a moment, but he (Mr. Wood man) could not sit still and hear Mr. Dobson's (the overseer) feelings, wounded in that way by the Bar. raster. Mr. Dobson he (Mr. Woodman) knew to be a respectable man, and well esteemed among his neigh bours and townsmen, and, as a proof that they deemed him worthy to fill the situation, he might say that Mr. Dobson had discharged its duties for several years. He, therefore, begged that the Barrister would discontinue the use of language so opprobrious as that which he had applied to Mr. Dobson. The Barrister—What I am I to be dictated to by a pettifogging attorney ? Mr. Woodman (with still more warmth)—Whether or no ho was a pettifogging attorney, he begged to tell the Learned Gentleman that he was not a briefless barrister ; and he would have him also remember that he (the Revising Barrister) was not now abusing Sir like that to Robert Peel Here the Barrister, motioned Mr. Woodman Mr. Woodman, moment, replied that Bar rister as well as for him, vehe mence (and clutching, while im an v. d i t th ha i t m h p e un. should ity. not apply language with the greatet coolness, iiaiitow . ards the door. which Mr. Fenwick, who stood close hand) " I'll horsewhip you, sir." waxingv ,doo rila i n al t edw o i nialgsae therewsppiaot passion e l f o ,og n rr et a a ht t e th . a t at a stick by, held in his Mr. Fen wick, however, happily for Mr. Hogg, re tained firm hold of his stick. But for that an assault of a most violent and degrading description must, in all probability, have been inflicted upon the presidi ng Barrister, and it is not difficult to imagine what the consequences would have been to Mr. Woodman, himself a lawyer, for striking a Judge in his own court. )311,6 the matter did not end here. Mr. Wood man being foiled in his attempt to obtain Mr. Fen wick's stick, rushed out of the room in an agitated mariner to his own house, and was returning with a stick to inflict personal chastisement, it is believed, on the Barrister, when he was met by Mr. Fenwick and Mr. Charlton, who succeeded in dissuading him from carrying the matter further. " I wonder you have not a sane man for your Town-clerk," said the Barrister to Messrs. Fen wick and Charlton, after Mr. Woodman had gone; but those gentlemen made no reply, and instantly left the court, leaving Mr. Woodman's son and the Barrister to transact the business between them. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. IRISH MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN. An extraordinary meeting of the above company was held on Wednesday at the Broadstone terminus, Dublin. Mr. BOYD, deputy chairman, presided, who on opening the business, said that the directors had called that meeting in order to submit a resolution to the shareholders in compliance with the Act of the 10th and 11 th of Victoria, c. 62, by which it was provided that in consideration of a Government loan of 500,0001. for the purpose of constructing the exten sion of the Midland Great Western Railway from Mullingar to Galway, the directors should be au thorized to mortgage the line to the Crown. The resolution, baling been seconded by Mr. J. BOYCE, was unanimously adopted. Mr. TAYLOR said it was the interest of the share holders that the resolution which had just been adopted should be carried unanimously, and although he was aware that no body of gentlemen could be actu ated by a higher sense of honour than those who com posed the board of directors, he would implore them to take warning by the past, and exercise the utmost of their ability in economising the funds committed to their trust. He had been nearly a quarter of a century in the exercise of his profession, and in that course of time he had a great deal to do in the ma nagement of estates, and from his long experience, and from what he had lately seen in the provinces, he could tell the directors that this country, with respect to property in general, was in a most deplorable con dition. He, was desirous to see the works of the railway construced in a durable manner, but he would implore the directors to pause before they would con sent to the building of Italian edifices and. Grecian colonnades on the line from Mullingar to Galway. The CHAIRMAN said, the board fully concurred in the observations which ILA just fallen from the last speaker. They (the directors) had not hitherto spent money lavishly, and they would in future be still more particular with regard to economy, than they had been even for the time past.—(Hear.) The meeting then separated. TOURNAY TO JURBISE AND LANDEN TO HASSELT. A meeting of the shareholders in this company was held on Thursday at the office, Upper Thames-street, to consider the promised report of the directors to be presented to the general meeting of the company, at Brussels, on the sth of next month. Mr. Kennard took the chair. The Ceteermaie, in opening the proceedings, stated that they were merely of a formal character, as no business could be legally transacted by them except at Brussels. They were called toe-ather at the earliest possible period, to be informed of the state of their affairs and to receive the report of the directors. The reason they were delayed so long after the 30th of June was, that the Belgian Government re turns for June were not communicated to them until the middle of August ; and the directors had been in Paris nicking arrangements for direct trains from Calais to Brussels which would pass over their line. On the 10th of September the arrangements were concluded, by which it was expected considerable benefit would arise to the company. Having adverted to the difficulties which the direc tors had to encounter in the construction of the line, he proceeded to state that the result of the traffic at the end of the six months' working was greatly below the expectations which they had pre viously formed of it. Looking to the grounds on which their anticipations were based, he had no doubt the railway would ultimately realize them. In Bel gium the traffic moved very slowly. They found the carriers continued the old mode of conveyance, al though the railway could carry for one-third less. He congratulated the proprietors on having completed 47 miles of railway without any assistance from the Government, notwithstanding the difficulties they had met with in the financial crisis—the bankruptcy of their banker, who had 1,000,0001. (40,0001.) in his hands at the time cf his failure, the famine, the revo lution of a neighbouring state, cholera, and nothing but trouble and difficulties on all sides. In a few weeks they would deliver up the line to the Govern ment completed. The SECRETARY then read the report, which was of considerable length. It stated that the con cession of the lines was sanctioned by royal ordi nance on the 21st of July, 1845. By the sta tutes, the founders of the company were personally bound to the Belgian Government for the execu tion of the works of the two lines ; and, by a fixed contract with the Government, they undertook to construct at their own cost and risk the whole of the works, and to defray the expenses of the company (luring construction, on condition of receiving the produce of 25,000 shares (500,0001.) After describing the difficulties and delays in obtaining the sanction of the Government to the plans and sections of the lines, the possession of land, and progress of the works, it stated the section of the line from Jurbise to Maffies, about nine miles, was opened for traffic in September 1847. The last call was made in August, 1848, but arrears ware due to a considerable amount. The president obtained a loan of 30,0001. for the company from the bank of Belgium; and on the 30th of Oc tober, 1848, the whole of the Tourney and Jurbise line was opened for traffic with a single line of rails ; and on the 10th of January, 1849, was defi nitively received by the Government, on whom henceforth the maintenance of it devolves. The se cond line of rails are now on the eve of completion. For the nominal capital of 500,0001. the company is in pOssession of two lines of railway (in all about 47 miles in length), constructed at an average cost of 10,6381. per mile, including all expenses during the period of construction. The construction of the state railways in Belgurn had cost 19,2401. per mile, not including the interest of capital. The Govern- anent is bound to maintain and work the two lines with its own stock and staff. They received 50 per cent. of the gross receipts for working them by con tract, extending over the entire term of the concession (90 years). The remaining 50 per cent. is paid monthly to the company. The recent convention entered into between the Belgian Government and the direction of the Northern of France lines places the Tournay and Jurbise railway in the same rank as the Government lines, and promises the speedy organiza tion of direct trains without change of carriage from Calais and Lille to Brussels by Tournay. The line from Manlge to Mons, which will bring the coal to the Tournay line, with an economy of about 20 per cent. in the transport, was not opened throughout to Mons till the present month. Assuming that the line from Tournay to Jurbise (10 leagues) might be con sidered an average line for traffic, and that of Has3elt (51 leagues) one-half this average, and taking the average of the general receipts of the Belgian lines for the last four years, the share accruing to the com pany would amount to 62,000 f. per month, or 6 per cent. on the capital expended. These were the anti cipatory calculation's of the directors, but the results come greatly below them, which they attribute to the state of trade, the slow development of the traffic, and of the reluctance of the Belgians to remove it from the common road to the railway. The Lands n and Hasselt line was opened the entire distance of 17 miles on the Bth of December, 1847. Interest at the rate of 4 per cent. was paid to the shareholders during the con struction of the lines. The gross receipts of both lines for the half-year ending the 30th of June last amounted to 267,038 f., of which 37,183 f. was received in January ; 36,513 f. in February ; 40,695 f. in March ; 49,681 f. in April ; 53,209 f. in May ; and 49,756 f. in June. Fifty per cent. of the gross receipts paid over to the company amounted to 5,2361., from which the expenses of management, 3391. in England and 6051. in Belgium, together 9441. is deducted, leaving 4,2921.; which, divided over 25,000 shares, gives a dividend of 3z. sd. per share for the half-year on the 201. share. The CHAIRMAN. on moving the adoption of the report and accounts, stated that the arrears on the shares amounted to 150,000/. ; they were in the hands of the contractors, and the shareholders could have them by paying up what was due on them. The traffic on their lines in July amounted to 54,274 francs, and in August to about - 60,000 francs, which was not far from the anticipated average amount—viz., 62,000 francs. He then adverted to the conduct of the Belgian officials in denying the existence of the line, and the consequent shortening of the distance between Calais and Brussels, because they were interested in sending passengers by the other route. The company had a resident director in Belgium at 6001. a year, a secretary at 3001. a year, and an accountant at 1601 . a year. He thought the company ought to spend more money in advertising than they did. He be lieved that when the route by their line from Calais to Brussels was known, passengers from England would not go to Ostend, because they would save five or six hours sea voyage and 1/. in money. Mr. PATERSON seconded the motion. A discussion ensued on the cost of management being 9441. for the half-year, while the total receipts of the company were only 5,2361. It was explained that no reduction could be made in the expenditure at present, nor for two years to come.. Mr. CAZENOVE highly approved of the report, and egen report tlem wasen employed o l thought they should not think of reducing the salaries o company.yuendbiymtohueslyado pte. The The Cuamax alluded an to the handsome way in which the B e l g i an workmen behaved to the company m In working foi them, when the latter had no means THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 8, 1849 of paying them, and the works must have stopped, had it not been for the workmen carrying them on. He fully expected that the traffic on their lines would be doubled in the course of the next two years. Ile said that Mr. R. Stephenson had esti mated that the line would pay 71 per cent. On the motion of Mr. DixoN, seconded by the Hon. Mr. BUTLER, a vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, and the meeting separated. SOUTHWARK COUNTY COURT, Oct. 6. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF CIUM. CON. Mr. Day, a surgeon, residing at No. 49, Salis bury-place, Lock's-fields, Will worth, was summoned to the above court by Maria Joyce, to recover damages for alleged assaults and false imprisonment. Mr. Binns attended for the plaintiff, and Mr. Solomons for the defendant. The plaintiff, rather a good looking young woman, said that about four years ago she had occasion to employ the defendant in her accouchement. She afterwards went into the service of Mr. Birkby, when the defendant came after her, and induced her to live with him as his wife. She consented to his wishes, and lived at several houses with him, and was introduced to company by him at Vauxhall-gardens and other places of entertainment. At the latter end of July last he grossly ill-used her with his walking stick, and afterwards promised to give her money to send her out to service. She accordingly went to his house, when he gave her into custody for an• noying him, and she was locked up in the station house, but shortly afterwards liberated by Inspector Baker. She knew the defendant was married and had a family; i❑ consequence of that she wished him to leave her and attend to his wife. Caroline Strange ways, the landlady of the house in which the plaintiff lodged, proved their cohabiting together, and the ill-treatment she received. The plaintiff was a very sober person, but appeared to be much ill-u2ed by the defendant. The charge•sheet was here produced, and the entry proved, where it was stated that the plaintiff begged forgiveness of Mr. Day for annoying him. In consequence of that she was discharged. The defendant acknowledged keeping company with the plaintiff, but denied ill using her. His HoNoun gave judgment for the plaintiff— damages 5/. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CLERKENWELL. On Saturday a young named George Barton was , brought up for the second time. An examination of two witnesses against him took place on Saturday, ' the 29th ult., but was not reported, before Mr. Combe, at the Clerkenwell "Police-court, on a charge of having stolen, on Thursday morning, the 27th ult., a bundle of railway parcels under the circumstance -proved in evidence, as subjoined. The accused ap peared to be about 20 years of age. The prosecutors are Messrs. Chaplin and Horne, the well-known railway carriers, and Mr. Humphreys, solicitor, appeared for them. Mr. Pelham attended for the`accused. Mr. Horne and Mr. Benchley, his managing clerk, and Mr. Collard, the police superin tendent of the Great 'Western Railway, were present. The MAGISTRATE (addressing the prisoner the mo ment he entered the dock) —Will you give your name to-day ? You refused to do so this day week. Mr. Pelham—George Barton is his name, Sir. The evidence adduced on Saturday, the 29th ult., against the prisoner on the part of William Davy and Sarah Coombes (subjoined) having been read. Mr. Humphrey s sa id, he would give an outline of what he intended to do thst day. They were aware that 22 parcels strapped together had been left at Messrs. Gregory and Faulkner's, Bedford-row, by William Davy, whilst he went to deliver others • and that when he came b ac k he found that a number of parcels had been left in substitution for the bundles that he (Davy) had originally deposited at Messrs. Gregory and Faulkner's. He was not now going to call on the persons who had sent the parcels that had been stolen. He would only call persons from Bristol who would prove that two of the parcels sent, and abstracted, had been transmitted from Bristol on the 26th of September last, the day before the robbery in London tools place ; that they had been transmitted by the different channels of conveyance that would bring them to London. He should call a great num ber of persons, but each would give only a very short account; sufficient however, he thought, to establish a proper chain of evidence to justify the committal of the prisoner on the charge of having stolen 22 parcels. He would call witnesses to prove the transmission from Bristol of two parcels—the one sent from the office of Mr. C. Hassell, solicitor, of Bristol, and di rected to Messrs. Lepard, of Cloak-lane, City; and the other from the office of Messrs. Prideaux and Son, also solicitors of Bristol, and directed to Messrs. Holme, Loftus and Young, of New Inn, Strand. He would also prove the conteuts of the two parcels. W. Davy, examined by Mr. I-lumphreys—l am a porter in the aervic© of Messrs. Chaplin and Horne for the delivery of railway parcels in London. They are carriers of country parcels coming by the Great Western Railway to different parts of London. lam particularly engaged in the transmission of small paper parcels, which I am in the -habit of strapping up in bundles. On the morning of last Thursday week, the 27th of September, I received from the Great Western Railway 24 parcels to deliver. I fastened them with a strap and made them into a bundle, and when I had so made them up I put them into one of our vans, and went down with them to the corner of Brownlow-street, Holborn, and there took out the bundle of parcels and left the van, and I then called at Messrs. Gregory and Faulkner's, at 1, Bedford-row, where I frequently leave parcels. When I got there I had no parcel to leave there, but I left the bundle of parcels on the form in the hall, in the presence of Mrs. Coombes, the 'housekeeper. I have occasionally done that before. I had two parcels out of the 24 to deliver in Bedford-row. I separated from the bundle those two parcels, and then went to deliver them, leaving the 22 other parcels on the form at Messrs. Gregory and Faulkner's. 1 was gone about ten minutes or a quarter of an hour, and on my return I found some parcels done up simi larly to mine, with a strap in a bundle. (Bundle produced.) There were eight paper parcels done up in this bundle, and there was one loose, directed to Guildford-street, which Mrs. Coombes told me the person who had left it said I was to deliver immedi• ately. She also gave me this book (producing a small account book), and gave me also another message from the party who gave her the book. None of the nine parcels, though strapped in the same way, formed part of the bundle I originally left, and I never saw one of them before. One of the 22 parcels I left at Messrs. Gregory and Faulkner's was ad dressed to the Messrs. Lepard, Cloak•lane ; and another was addressed to Mr. Holme, New Inn. No one had any authority whatever to exchange the bundle I had left for that I found, or to exchange it for any other bundle. Mr. Humphreys—Did you know the prisoner? Witness—l had seen him once before. Mr. Humphreys—Where did you see him ? Wit ness—Just by Gregory and Faulkner's private door in Bedford-row. Their office door is round the corner. Mr. Humpbreys—When was this ? Witness— About a fortnight before the 27th of September, but Ido not know exactly. It was between 8 and 9 o'clock in the morning, and I was on that occasion engaged in delivering parcels. I had some parcels similar to those in this bundle now produced, and bound round with a strap in a similar way. He was standing looking about, and I spoke to him. Mr. Humphreys—Why ? Witness—Because I thought he came from the North-Western Railway. I asked him if he wanted Gregory's ? He said, " No, I want Parker, Hayes, and Parker." I did not know at the time that they were the solicitors of the Great Western Railway Company, but I was aware their offices were at No. 1, Lincoln's Inn-fields. I did not then tell the prisoner where their chambers were, because I did not recollect at the time. On that morning I had left a bundle of parcels at Gregory and Faulkner's whilst 'I went to deliver others, and it was on my return to get back my bundle that I saw the prisoner. Cross•examined by Mr. Pelham—ls there any doubt in your mind as to this being the man you then spoke to ? Witness—Not the slightest—l only saw him once, about a fortnight before the 27th of Sept. I never saw him before or since until he was in custody. Mr. Pelham—You are called on to speak to his identity. Do you solemnly swear that that is the man you addressed in Bedford-row ?—Yes. Mr. Pelham—Has he been pointed out to you by the police ? Witness—No; I saw him last in this court on Sa turday last. He was in the passage when I recog nised him. I was with Mr. Boulton, who did not say, " That is the man." I first said, " That is the person I saw in Bedford-row." I spoke first, though I do not know whether the prisoner was first seen by me or Mr. Boulton. I saw him in the custody of an officer walking along the passage of this court. I had no intimation, either by winking or pointing, as he entered the passage—no intimation given to me that he was the man I met in Bedford-row. I am quite satisfied he is the man. Re-examined by Mr. Humphreys—Before you saw the prisoner in the passage, did you see Smith, the police officer (the officer who had the prisoner in custody) ?—No, Sir. By Mr. Pelham—lt was between 8 and 9 o'clock in the morning that I left the stolen parcels at Messrs. Gregory and Faulkner's, and I was gone about 10 minutes or a quarter of an hour. Sarah Coombes examined by Mr. Humphreys—l am housekeeper or charwoman at Messrs. Gregory and Faulkner's. On Thursday week I received from the last witness several parcels tied up together. There might have been 22. I saw the last witness take away parcels. Afterwards the prisoner called at the house. kie had on his shoulder, strapped up to- gether, a bundle of parcels and a book. He had a small brown paper parcel in his hand. When the prisoner came into the hall he looked round, and I said to him, " Have you any parcels for us this morn ing ?" He said " No," and inquired if his fellow servant from the Great Western Railway had come? I said " Yes." He said, " The parcels must be changed, for the parcels he (the fellow-servant) has left are mine." The parcels were lying in tIL! hall. The prisoner laid down his parcels and said, " Tell him to forward this small parcel to the George and Blue Boar, Holborn, as soon as he comes in, and to meet me at the George arid Blue Boar." He then took up the last witness's parcels and threw them over his shoulder, saying he was in a great hurry to deli ' ver his parcels. He then went away towards Brown low-street with the parcels over his shoulder. I knew nothing of the prisoner before, but I am certain he is the man. The last witness came back in about ten minutes, and the fraud was discovered. I saw Smith the officer, and described to him the person of the prisoner, on last Friday evening week. Ccoss-examined by Mr. Pelham—What description did you give to Smith ?—I said he had a cap on, and very light hair, and very peculiar eyes—weakish looking ones—and a longish nose.—(Laughter by the prisoner.) I said lie was dressed similarly to the witness Davy, and that I thought he was a railway porter. I am 70 years old, and my memory is as good as ever it was in my life. I swear distinctly that is the man who came and took away the parcels. W. Smith (constable of the detective force)--I took the prisoner into custody near Clarendon-square, Somers-town, on the charge, which I told him, of stealing 22 parcels. H e sa id " V ery we ll ; I will go with you." The nine parcels produced carne into my possession. I have opened them, and found them to contain nothing but useless paper. The book is blank on the inside, but on the outside it is marked " Great Western Railway Booking-book, No. 4, 1849." Mr. H. Wise, examined by Mr. Humphreys—l reside at Bristol, and am clerk to Mr. C. Hassell, of that city. On the 26th of September last I did up a parcel of deeds. One was an assignment of lease hold premises on three skins of parchment, of which one was a double skin. A stamp of 9/. was impressed on one skin, of 3/. each on the others. One was an ad valorem skin. There was also a letter of attorney bearing a stamp of 1/. 10s. It was on paper. None of the deeds were executed. The address I put on the parcel was " Messrs. Lepard and Co., solicitors, 9, Cloak lane, Walbrook, London." I then gave the parcel to the office-boy, Henry Jenkins, to take it to the White Lion and hook it. H. Jenkins (a little boy) examined—l am in the service of Mr. Hassell, and on the 26th of September Mr. Wise gave me a parcel to take to the White Lion. I took it there, and left it in the booking office. I recollect it was directed to Messrs. Lepard. Cross-examined by Mr. Pelham—l took it to the White Lion, and put it on the counter and came away, but I told them to book it. I suppose it was the book keeper I told. Mr. Humphreys—l have the man here. W. Wilcox examined—l am the booking clerk at the White Lion, at Bristol, and receive parcels to be booked by the Great Western Railway. On the 26th of September I received a parcel addressed to " Messrs. Lepard, London." Ido not recol lect the boy who brought it. I made up a way bill, and entered the parcel in it. That waybill was marked " A." It was taken with other parcels from the office to the railway station in an omnibus, con ducted by Patrick Collier. On the same day, in the evening, I received a parcel from somebody, addressed to " Messrs. Holme and others, of London," which I sent by the same omnibus to the railway station. This second parcel was included in a waybill marked" B." P. Collier examined—l live at Bristol at Adelaide cottage, St. Paul's, and stn conductor of the omnibus which conveys passengers and parcels from the White Lion to the station of the Great Western Railway. On the 26th of September I carried from the former to the latter place the parcels which are included in the two waybills produced, and I delivered them to a porter named Tresher at the railway station. By Mr. Pelham—l took the waybills with the parcels. C. 'fresher examined—l am parcels' porter in the service of the Great Western Railway Company, and know the last witness. On the 26th of September I received from him the waybills marked " A" and " B" at two different times, and I also received the parcels referred to in the waybills. I gave them (the waybills) to a person who receives them as I call out the parcels—to Mr. Howell, and I gave up the parcels to Thomas, the guard, to be delivered in London. Mr. G. Howell examined—l live at Victoria place, Bristol, and am parcels' clerk at the Great Western Railway station there. On the 26th of September I examined the parcels called over by the last witness. I took the waybills now produced, and ticketed off the parcels as they were called over. I find one to Messrs. Lepard, and one to Messrs. liolme, marked by my cross. Mr. J. Thomas examined--I live at 3, Kensington buildings, Earl-street, Kensington, and am one of the guards of the Great Western Railway. On the 26th (query 27th) of September I delivered in London all the parcels given to me at Bristol by Thresher. I locked them up in the parcels' van in Bristol, and never touched them until I came to London. I opened the van at the Paddington station, and directed i t n he porters totheo to ri ee. put l h t e hm on barrows r e earesometim and take t sometimes 20 20porters therelime —sometimes more, sometimes less. Mr. G. LansdOwne, of No. 5, Northumberland place, Westbourne-road, examined—l am inwards parcels' clerk at the Paddington station. I have a book in which I enter parcels for Chaplin and Horne's delivery. On the 27th of September (a book was produced) I made an entry of parcels coming from Bristol in the morning. I made an entry of a parcel directed to Messrs. Lepard, and of another directed to Messrs. Holme. I see the entries, and they are both in my handwriting. One' is " Lepard, \Val brook, ls. 3d. to pay ;" the other " Holme, New Inn, ls. 2d. to pay." Mr. G. Boulton examined—l am second clerk to Messrs. Chaplin and Horne, and my business is to be at the Great Western Railway station, Paddington. I take and count the parcels that come there to be delivered by Messrs. Chaplin and Horne. I produce the book in which I enter the parcels. On the 27th of September I entered one parcel for "Lepard, Cloak-lane" and another f o r Holme, New Inn, Strand." I saw them taken away for delivery. W. Davy recalled—l keep a book in which I enter the parcels I have to take. I now produce it, and find in it a parcel for Lepard and a parcel for Holme, entered on the 27th of September. Mr. R. D. Coram examined—l am clerk to Messrs. Prideaux and Sons, solicitors, of Bristol, and made up a parcel directed to Holme and Co., on the .26th of September, containing several brief sheets of a bill in Chancery, and instructions for counsel written on draft paper. We sent a letter of advice by post. The direction on the parcel was " Messrs. Holme, Loftus, and Young, solicitors, 10, New Ina, London." I delivered the parcel to a junior clerk named Johns, to take it to the White Lion. I. W. Johns examined—l live in Queen's•square, Bristol, and am clerk to Messrs. Prideaux. On the 26th of September the last witness gave me a parcel to take to the White Lion, addressed " M essrs . Holme," &c. I took it to the hite Lion, and left it there to be forwarded to London. Mr. Humphreys (to the sitting magistrate)—Tha is my case, Sir. __ Tile worthy Magistrate then had the depositions signed in respect to these cases, and the prisoner, who said he should reserve his defence, was committed for trial at the next Old Bailey sessions. The prisoner, who treated the charges preferred against him with much indifference, was then re moved from the bar.

ILIE ATTEMPTED PARRICIDE AT CHlsvrlCK.—The excitement caused throughout the neighbourhood of Chiswick, Hammersmith, &c., by the unnatural attempt of Henry ) Bathurst Monkhouse to assassinate his father, appears to increase, and forms the topic of conversation amongst all classes of the inhabitants. The inquiries made yesterday at the residence of Captain Monkhouse were numerous, the answer returned being that ho was still lying in a most dangerous state, but no unfavourable symptoms had yet appeared. Out of the numerous re ports in circulation amongst persons well acquainted with the family is, that the prisoner - since his return to this country has exhibited a great desire to obtain an advance on his share of some property to which it would appear the children of Captain Monkhouse's first wife are, entitled. This supposition, it is probable, is correct, from the following circumstance :—During the time the clothes of the prisoner were being searched on Thursday night, on his being brought from Ealing to the head station of the T division at Brook-green, Hammersmith, a piece of paper was found in his pocket, on which was written the following :--" 8,7221., Three per Cent. Consols" and underneath, "Sl. I)endy, Thomas Pip er , and William Piper, trustees." On the other side were written the figures " 2,180/." and " 4/., Greenhill, Sergeant's Inn." On Friday morning, on the inspector showing the paper to the prisoner's elder brother. on his coming to the sta• Lion, he identified it as his brother's handwriting, and said to a friend he had with him, " Here, look, the fel low bas even calculated the amount of his share out of the money."

DESPERATE AFFRAL—Yesterday (Sunday) about noon a desperate affray took place in College street, Camden -town, by which the lives of two police-officers were for some time placed in imminent peril. The neighbourhood is not very remarkable for -the pacific character of its inhabitants, and collisions are of very frequent occurrence. In the present instance the dis turbance was commenced by a man named Partridge, who, upon being remonstrated with by police-constable Billieghurst, 386 5, attacked him violently, and in doing so was aided_ and assisted by two companions. Billing,- hilrst having obtained the assistance of two other constables, Sweetland and Holloway, attempted to capture the men, upon which all three of them renewed the attack, and arming themselves with iron railings. torn up from the front of one of the adjacent_houses;threatened to murder them if they attempted to advance. After a desperate stru gg le with thefelleWs the bilkers succeeded a, in capturing two •of the number, viz v•Partridge 'and a man named Redding, both of whom were conveyed to the station-house in Pliceuix-street, Somerf-town. The third man has eluded the officers up to this time. The affray occasioned great excitement in the neighbourhood, and the prisoners were followed to the police-station by a mob of several hundred persons.,, POST-OFFICE NOTICE.
