MORNING SUN. UNITED KINGDOM LIFE' ASSU RANCE COMPANY. DIVISION OF PROFITS TO THE PROPRIE- TORS, AND TO THE ASSURED. The First General Meeting of the Proprietors of this Company, which commenced business on the Ist March, 1834, was held at their Office, No. 8, Waterino-place, on Thursday, July 1, 1841, and was very numerously at telided. WILLIAk PLASKET. Esq., Deputy Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the Chair. The Report of the Directors submitted to the meeting stated, that in 1834 the Company was established by Act of Parliament, and subsequently by deed of settlement, under which they were required to make a division of profit-, not sooner than 1839, nor later than 1841. The Report also stated, that before making the division, the • Directors had remitted to their Actuary, Mr. John King, to examine the books and accounts of the Company, and the; his Report of the 23d of June, 1841, laid before the Meeting, fully justified the Directors to appropriate 2 per cent. per annum to the persons holding assurances at the participating rate of premiums, and 11. per share to the Proprietors, as an increase to the value of their shares, on the Ist day of January, 1841. The Report having been read, Mr. STUART said, that the information contained in it could not, he was per suaded, fail to be considered very satisfactory. The Pr oprietors having at the ensl of seven years after the establishment of the Company, obtained an addition of one-half to the sums paid by them ; and the persons holding assurances at the higher or participating rate, having had 2 per cent. per annum appropriated to them from the dates of their policies,-to be applied, at their optiV, either as an increase to the amounts due on their policies when they became exigible, or in diminution of the annual premiums paid on them. There were still, however, some details relative to the success of the esta blishment, which it might be desirable for the Proprie tors to be made acquainted with, and which he would take the liberty of communicating, having been one of the original Proprietors of the Company, and a Director or Chairman of the Boax.l . of Directors from the com mencement of the establishment. In the first place, the meeting would be gratified to learn that, although they had now got an addition of one-half made to their shares of the stock of the Com pany in the short space of seven years (that is to say, a holder of one hundred shares, who had paid the only call of 2/. per share, amounting to 200/., on which four per cent. per annum had been paid half-yearly since the date of the payment, has now had that sum increased to 3001., bearing interest at four'per cent. from the Ist of January, 1841, the result of which is to give him six per cent. onethe original sum advanced, payable half yearly since the Ist of January. 1841), a greater sum had been appropriated to those holdingparticipating assur ances from this Company, than,had hitherto been allo cated to them by any other Assurance Company within the period of six yearsi and ten months from the com mencement of their transacting business, on the Ist of March, 1834, to the Ist of January, 1841, and this result had taken place although the participating rates payable to this Company for all lives at and under forty , tire years of age, are lower than those of any of the Companies which have, during the first seven years of their management, made any division of profits to those holding assurances nearly approaching in amount ' ' to that now made by this Company. Thus, for example, the Atlas Assurance Company of London, a very re spectable Company, which has been established for thirty-three years, at their last division of profits in 1837, added to a policy"for 1,0001. on a life of twenty, which had been in force for seven years preceding 721., on a life of thirty 76/., and of forty 84/. ; and the Stan4ard Life Assurance Gompany of Edinburgh, also a very respectable Company, at their divisions of profits in 1835 and 1840, added 11 per cent. for each year: to the sums assured ; but this Company, as shown by the Report of the Directors, has, from the very commencement of its operations, and from the dates of each policy, appro priated 2 per cent. per annum to those holding partici • paling assurances, without reference to the age of the individuals, so that the addition to a policy for 1,0001. in force for the six years and ten months during which the Company has been established, 'previous to Ist of January last, is*l36/.• 13s. 4d. instead of 72/. or 84L, the sum paid by the Atlas Company, or 83/. Bs. 4d. by the Standard Caapany. The rate of assurance payable to the Atlas. Company for a life of twenty, is 2/. 3s. 7d., and to the Standard Company, "2/. Is. ld. ; for a life of • - thirfylo.the Atlas Company, 2/. 13s. Sd., and to the Ste - reined Company, 21. 10s. 7d. ; and for a life of forty - Moho Atlas Company,, 3/. 7s. lid., and tp the Standard . Itnnpany, 3/. 4s. lid., whereas the participating rate • payable to this 'Company for a life of twenty, is only IL 18s. Bd. ; for a life of thirty, 2/. Bs. 2de; and for a Jife of forty, 31. 3s. 4d. In the second place, it had fortunately, and by the care 'fl choice of lives, turned out that the number of . deaths • eof those assured led, since the commencement of the Company, assuming the mean age of those assured to be 50, which is under the, mark, been only 56 out of 158, nearly 'the number provided for in the tables of the Equi o table Society of London. The whole losses too on 1,104,258/. 4s. 3d.; the total sum assured by the Corn . pang, amounted previous -to Ist. January, to .41,777/. 9s. 3d., but of that loss, a very large proportion, no less than 18,528/. 13s. 10d. had been sullied by the sums received for lapsed policies. The sums assured during the first seven years of the. Establishment averaged for each year• above 150,000/., a very large sum in relation to the sums assured by tither Assurance Companies. For eNample, the animal average of the sums assured, for the twenty seven years of its existence, by the Scottish Widows' Fund Society, one of the greatest in the empire, was only 190,0001. The business of this Company was at the same time rapidly increasing, of which the most convincing evidence is, that by a reference to the book of policies, it would be found that the amount assured by new policies during the year 1840, exceeded a quarter of a million, viz. 271,560/. Thirdly, the Company had hitherto been so managed that it had sustained no serious, nor, as a Life Assurance Company, unexpected loss of any kind. The bad and doubtful debts, although the Company now had an in creasing revenue of above 40,000/. a year, only amounted in seven years to 5481. 35..11d., and the law charges, includ ing the expense of obtaining the Act of Parliament for the Company, and of framing and completing the deed of settlement, in the same period only amounted to 726/. 15s. 7d. The progressive prosperity and stability .of the Com pany were guaranteed, not only by the success which Rad attended the management for seven years, and which had shown the calculations, on which the Cempany was founded, to be correctly framed so as to insure results • favourable for the Proprietors, and for the parties hold ing participating assurances, but were also secured by the original constitution of the Company, confirmed by the deed of settlerhent, which prevents the possibility of any part of the capital being suddenly withdrawn, and provides for the extension of the capital as the concerns of the Company increase. The profits of the Proprie tors to be, hereafter, in terms of the deed, declared at intervals of not less than five nor more than seven years, are not lei be paid over to the Proprietors for the time, but can only be added to their shares, as an additional pay ment bearing interest to them at 4/. per cent. ; and the profits to the persons holding assurances can, only be ap propriated as an 'increase to the amounts due on their policies, when they become exigible, or in diminution of the annual premiums payable on them. Upon the whole, therefore, he flattered himself, that he might be permitted to congratulate this the first meeting of Proprietors of the Company on their present state and prospects. He was sure that he only gave utterance to the sentiments of all the Directors in ascribing their' flourishing circumstances to the indefatigable ekertions E nd energy, and, at his advanced period of life, to the traordinary activity and zeal of the founder of the Com pany, the Resident Director, Mr. Boyd. He was at the same time bound to add; that th e Di rectors are under great obligations to Mr. Boyd for his judicious selection of their medical adviser, Mr. Hale Thomson, whose re ports to them have been uniformly clear and decided, as well as candid and disinterested. It would be a great omission were he not also to express his conviction, th at a dbpted by the Directors, of all ow i ng Mr. Boyd's scheme , five years' credit of half the amount of premiums of as aurance for life policies, had operated i v o. e s ry t obalevineirnfigcifia:yt for the Company. Other Companies .atdoffollhowed their example in this respect, but the m be er on suggested and acted on this'plan and it had certainly tended very' considerably to inc E r o e y as d e , the business of the Company. He might perhaps be allowed before concluding,to!ugge s t to the meeting the propriety of authorising the Directors to subscribe such a sum as they of the ,Reformers' think proper, in aid of the expenses incurred by the Pro p rietors ,Reformers' Gazette Newspaper of .Glasgo vc, in i . quence of their published detections of the fraudulent independent West Middlesex Assurance Compath e ny. Companies of that description did infinite injury to public, but most especially to such Societie s as that in which all present at the meeting are interested, and it 'was therefore their duty to lend their assistance in put ting them down. The meeting, on the motion of Mr. John Connell, unanimously approved the Report and Statement laid before them, and offered their best thanks to the Board of Directors for their great attention and zeal in con ducting the business of the Company. They also autho rised the Directors to subscribe such a sum as they thought proper in aid of the expenses before alluded to, incurred by the Proprietors of the Reformers' Gazette. Finally, they tendered their most grateful acknoW ledgenents to the Resident Director, Mr. Boyd, for the uncommon pains he had taken in the year 1834, in form itig and establishing the Company, and for the ability, caution, and care, with which he had uniformly managed their concerns, and which had enabled the Directors to communicate the favourable results made known in their • Report. SHOCKING OCCURRE,NCE IN LAMBETH tonKuousE.—On Saturday morning at an early hour a very ()Teat sensation was produced in Lambeth Work house, in consequence of the following distressing.occur rence. It appears that two infants, of ages of twelve and fourteen months, pauper children in the house, Were in the habit of sleeping with a girl about fourteen years old. On Friday night both the children were in health, and went to bed with the girl in question. In the morn ing, as above stated, on one of the nurses going into the sleeping-ward, where the children were, she' was shocked at finding them both apparently lifeless. The girl 4as still sound asleep, and from the position she was lying in it is much to be feared that she was the cause of their deaths by overlaying them. Mr. Duke, a surgeon, was sent for, who endeavoured to restore the innocents, but ineffectually. The children were orphans, and have been in the house several months. We leani from Leipsic, 22d ult., that the wool fair, which has just been held there, has been more favourable for the sellers than any of the other fairs for some years past: Thq quantity of wool offered fur sale was 37,749 stein (the steiff is about 201bs. mart.) The quantity sold was 33,6242 stein, and at very high prices. The first quality fetch 25 rix-dollars the stein, and the lowest quality 10 rix-dollars. The average was about 2i ria-dollars beyond the price last year. The rix-dollar is bf. 20c. ~'~ MEMOIR OF MR. POWER,. COMEDIAN. _ The -ontinued absence of the President steamer, among the passengers by which vessel was the gifted I subject of this Memoir, having caused one universal feel ing of heartfelt sorrow throughout the empire, a brief notice may not be quite unacceptable at the present pe riod. Mr. Power, whose brilliant talents as a comedian, and honourable character as a gentleman, made him the idol of the public and companion of the nobles of the land, was born in the town of Waterford, in the year 1798. We give this from his own statement, though it has been contradicted by some. Of his family little is known beyond the fact that his mother was an actress, and that from his earliest years her son was attached, to the profession which in after life he so much adorned. In the year 1813 his mother was engaged in the com pany of Mr. Williams, in the town of Cardiff, in Wales, and Master Power was also an actor in such parts as his age permitted. At this period an opportunity pre sented itself of placing our hero as an apprentice in the office of Mr. M`Lecal, a printer in the town, which his mother, with a praiseworthy regard for what she considered his future interest, gladly embraced, preferring for him the prospect of obtaining a trade to the precarious profession of the stage. The mother 'and son consequently were then separated, she to pursue* her theatrical engagement with Mr. M`Leod's company, which quitted Cardiff at the end of the season, and he to remain in the town to learn his trade. Though he had left the calling of an aetor, the spirit of his first profession was strong within him, and in 1814 Mr. Masterman to whom his indentures had been made over, consented, on the return of the company to Cardiff, to permit him to appear on the stage in that town 'for limited period. During his engagement he played Romeo, Norval, Jaffier, Macbeth, and Murtoch Delany. The three former parts, with others of the same class, technically denominated the juvenile tragedy, occupied his study during a considerable portion of his riper years. - Shortly after this he quitted his employer, and, abandoning the compositor's stick for the trage dian's truncheon, -resumed his career as a disciple of Thespis, seeking in the various small towns of the prin cipality that practice in the various branches of his art that so materially assisted in placing him ultimately in the highest rank of his profession. In 1815 we find him engaged in the theatre, Newport, Isle of Wight, under the management of the well-known Mr. Thornton, where he appeared in the character of Alonzo, in the tragedy of Pizarro. Here he remained during -a season, playing the range of character comprehended under the term of light comedy and jutenile tragedy, which in companies such as that of the Newport Theatre are always undertaken by the same actor. In 1816 he joined the Canterbury circuit, then under the management of the celebrated comedian Dowton, in the same position as he had occupied in that of Newport. In the towns of Canterbury, Chatham, Rochester, and Tunbridge-wells for two seasons he continued to per sonata the parts before enumerated, and became thoroughly studied in that department of the drama. In 1817, though the instrumentality of Mr. Sims, the only thea trical agent at that period, he obtained an engagement at the Theatre Royal, Crow-street, Dublin, then under the direction of Mr. W. Farren, and presented himself be fore the critical tribunal of a Dublin audience, in the character of Romeo, Miss O'Neil, who was then fulfill ing. an engagement as a star, sustaining the character Juliet on this occasion ; and in the farce of "Raising the Wind," on the same evening, he was the Jeremy Did dler. The letter is now before us in which Mr. Sims introduces our hero to Mr. Frederick E. Jones,• the patentee of the Crow-street theatre, as " a young man studied in youthful tragedy and light comedy, and posSessing a good wardrobe," an invaluable acquisition to a young actor. His success during the first season was not very brilliant. The manager imagined that tragedy was not exactly his forte, and he gave no indica tion of the distinguished position he was afterwards de stined to hold. A circumstance occurred at the close of the first season that gave a different tone to the director of the theatre, and in some degree led to Mr. Power's subsequent success in the metropolis of England. Miss Kelly, who had been engaged for a short time as a star, chose for her benefit the comedy of She Would and She Would Not. By some chance the part of Trappanti, the principicalsomic character, was unfilled, there being no actor in the theatre studied in it. Miss Kelly, however, was unwilling to change the play, it being by command of the. cord Lieutenant, the Duke of Rutland. In this dilemma Mr. Power was applied to, who instantly under took to perfect himself in the character. . The result was most satisfactory. The audience were profuse in applause. The manager perceived that the new actor had more ta lent than he was at first disposed to give him credit for, and Miss Kelly gave him an assurance of her best recom mendation whenever he visited London. This promise was afterwards kept to the letter. During the next season he had gained considerably on the good graces of the Dublin audience, and the following year he was estimated as a very available comedian. The changes incidental to the management of a theatre induced Mr. P. to quit Ire laid, and, anxious for a wider field of action, he bent his steps towards London, and having obtained an' introduc tion to the monarch of Drury-lane, the late Robert Wil liam Elliston, he appeared in the season of 1821 as Tris tam Fickle in The Weathercock. Whether from a want of appreciation on the part of the manager, or a refusal of the terms proposed, he did'not appear again during the reign of Air. Elliston • and shortly 'after at the Coburg Theatre, for the benefit of Mr. Amhirst, he acted Young Wilding in the comedy of " The Liar." An offer from De Camp; manager of the Newcastle-upon-Tyne thea tre, induced him to visit the North. Here he played the Frenchmen, fops, and melodramatic parts. The play of "John Bull"- having been chosen for a bespeak, Mr. Ambirst, the stage-manager, cast him the part of Den nis Brulgruddery. This led to a serious misunderstand ing between Mr. Power and his friend, the manager. the former considering himself personally insulted by being selected for a part for which he had no qualifica tions, and insisted on playing Tom Shuffleton. Mr. Amhirst, who foresaw his rising excellence in Irish parts, remonstrated with him and succeeded in inducing him to study the character. 'At tlfe conclusion'of the country season he returnee to London, and at the end of 1821, under the management of the late Mr. Reeve, the composer, he performed for a short time at the Olympic, in a version of " Tom and Jerry" (adapted by T. Dibdin), the parts of a Frenchman, a fop, an Irishman, and .a Yorkshire-fox-1111liter. The Easter Monday of 1822, Mr. Power appeared as a meinber of Astley's theatre 'under the management of Mr. Davis, in the part .of Corinthian Tom, the piece being written to suit the peculiar style of- the Amphitheatre, intro ducing a mail-coach, horses, a real fox-hunt, &c. &c. A difference arising at the end of the second week between Mr: Davis and himself, he instantly broke his engage ment and quitted the theatre. The same year, at the Olympic Theatre again, where he was engaged as the stage-manager, Mr. Power obtained considerable popu larity in a farce written for him, called A Race for a Wife, in which Mr. Elton sustained the other principal character. This season he occasionally acted an Irish part. Mr. Russell, then lessee of the Brighton Theatre, offered him the situation of principal actor and stage manager, which was accepted. Previous to his departure for Brighton, the lamented death of the late John Emery, on July 24th of that year, occasioned a benefit for his widow and children • and the season having just termi nated at Covent-garden, a company was formed for the occasion from the various theatres then open. The play of The Rivals, having been selected by the committee, at the head of whom was Mr. George Robins, Mr. Power made his first appearance before a Covent-garden audience as Fag. Mr. C. listable, who performed Cap tain . Absolute, was much struck with his style of acting the part, warmly congratulated him in the green-room, and erpressed a hope that he should, ere long, meet him in the theatre as a member of the corps dramatique in the usual season. The result of this benefit, through the great exertions of the Committee and the indefatigable zeal of Mr. George Robins, was such that a sum of nearly 4,0001. was realized for the widow and family. Brighton was Mr. Power's next scene of action, and here he was the representative of Lord Trinket, Rugantino, Macbeth, Doricourt, Three Fingered Jack, cum multis aliis. On his return to Lon don. Miss Kelly's recommendation procured him an en gagement from Mr. Arnold at the English Opera ; and in 1823 he made his appearance in the part of Teague, in the "Honest Thieves ;" and Mr. Arnold's opera of " Broken. Promises" obtained him much fame in the part of Corporal Driscol, an Irish corporal. The musical farce of "Love laughs at Locksmiths" was revived Burin ; the season, and Risk was assigned to Mr. Power. Tmusic of this part being somewhat difficult unless the actor be a musician, caused the leader, Mr. Moun pqousesnibe e le o t f h 7A e r f r a . rK l e v o e u r l d b b ei e n p g l played that deficientth. evening,at .in th Moun tain, to declareduring the last rehearsal thatit was-im— ienmersisce; he was, h owever,mistaken in this particular, and - th piece was producedlia though with indifferent' success. e The late gr. h. thews, then acting in the theatre, after witnessing and Murtoch Delany, applying himself exclusively Seriously urged on him the policy of to the study of Irish charac ters. To this friendly with the opinion of his suggestion' which was also in otheraccord ance theatrical brethren, he di ss ented, exprzssing a doubt wheth er an y ac t or cou ld h character, while there collection Joh nstone'sexcellence was so become popular opful the ar late i n joh lineii composer fresh in the memo r y of th e London playgoers, winter season of 1824, under the direction of Ad ni h. th l e n la the late Mr. Rodwell , b rother to the p res ent popul ar and author, Mr. G.

The piece was written to suit the taste of the public, who were then charmed with the horrors of the Der Freischutz school, and the part of Valmondi, the hero of the piece, was sustained with great etfoc/ by Mr. Power. The next summer he re turned to is former situat ion at the English Opera, where he continued to enjoy the reputation of a valuable actor until the conclusion of the season, when an offer from Mr. Charles Kemble introduced him to the boards of Covent-garden Theatre, as Rolando in this period the principal line of comedy was in the pos- The Honer n, on Wednesday, July 4, 18;26. At session of Mr. R. Jones, and the whole range of Irishmen was occupied by Charles Connor. The lamented death of the latter gentleman, who died sudd enl y , returning home through Hyde Park, on Saturday, October 7,1826, at once placed Mr. Power in his proper sphere. His per formance of Doctor O'Toole, originally acted by Mr. Connor, was most successful. O'Shaughnessy, an the £lOO Note; Phelim O'Scud, Teddy the Tiler, and O'Slash, in the Invincibles, followed in rapid succession. The whole class of farce writers then discovered in him a mine of humour, to use a phrase of a popular author and friend of Mr. Power's, that only required working, and at onto planed him at the head of his prosession as a disciple of 'Momus. Until the year 1830, he continued at Covent-garden, occupying his time in the vacation of that' theatre, at the Theatres Royal Haymarket, Bir mingham, Dublin, &v. con Mr. Charles Kemble resign- '~:: ~` THE SUN,. LONDON,.. MONDAY, JULY 5, 1841, ing the reins of management at Coventzgarden, in 1831, Mr. Power went to Drury-lane, then under the manage ment of Captain Polhill, and appeared as Doctor.

Mr. Bernard's farce of The Nervous Man, in which Power played M'Shane, to gether with his own drama of St. Patrick's Eve, in which he acted Sir Morgan O'Dogherty, still increased.his fame in a line of character now become peculiarly his own, and the name of Power in a new farce was enough to insure its suc cess. During this season he obtained leave of absence to fulfil a short engagement at the Edinburgh Theatre; and while there a correspondence between the stage-manager of Drury-lane Theatre, in which he was peremptorily commanded to be in London by a particular day, which, from his engagement with Mr. Murray, was impossible to be complied with, induced him to decline returning at all ; and after the conclusion of his engagement in Edin burgh, he came to London, appeared one night at Co vent-garden Theatre for a farewell benefit, in the cha racters of Orange Moll, in Jerrold's drama of Nell Gan, and Sir Patriek OTlenipo; in The Irish Ambassador, and took his departure for the United Skrtes, where he appeared at the Park Theatre, New York, in the part pf the Irish Ambassador and Teddy the Tiler, on the 28th of August, 1833.

THE GRAND JUNCTION RAIL- WAY COMPANY. Sir F. Pollock and Mr. Martie 'appeared for the plain tiffs, and Mr. Erie and Mr. Cowley for the defendants. Sir F. Poixocx, in opening the case, said, that the questions involved in this case were of the utmost pub lic importance, inasmuch as it would be seen that they immediately referred to the point as to whether the va rious Railway Companies should or should not, or have or have not, a right to establish and maintain, or where already partially established, continue to maintain a species of monopoly in respect to the carrying and de livering of goods by such respective railway. The plain tiffs in the present instance had for many years been celebrated as very extensive carriers both by land and by canal, especially to the northern districts. Upon the opening of the Grand Junction Railway, of course it became necessary that - some change in the hitherto exist ing state of things should be made. It must, however, be manifest to every man possessed of the ordinary ex tent of common sense, and the powers of reasoning, that it had never been in the contemplation of the Legisla ture, when giving its assent to the Railway Bills, that such enactments were to have the effect of enabling any particular body of persons to establish one of the greatest and most injurious monoplies with which a country could be visited. He did not mean to say that railways were not calculated and capablo of conferring the greatest benefits upon the public, but he contended that to effect that ob ject they must be conducted on fair, equitable, and libe ral principles. Where a common road had been made of course the adventurer always had an eye to deriving a pecuniary advantage, which advantage was to be gained by means of a toll, but it had never in any one instance been attempted to be said that the road was to be used by those adventurers and by nobody else. But in the case of railroadi the Companies, it appeared, in some in stances were disposed to impose such a toll and such terms as amounted not only to a protective but to a pro hibitory duty. By these means it was manifestly clear, if they were legally entitled to do so, that the Railway Companies had the power to secure to themselves the complete monopoly of the carrying trade, not merely with respect to the conveyance of persons but as applicable to the transmission of goods. He would, hoivever, call the attention of the Noble and Learned Lord on the bench to the 31st clause of the Act of Parliament, whereby au thority was given to every person who might think fit to run a locomotive or other engine on a line upon the pay ment of the regulated toll. That clause, it would be seen, gave the power to any person to place an engine on a line. But then it must be borne in mind, that in order to obtain the requisite steam force water would be ne cessary ; and then there must be whit was termed a terminus and station. Well, the Railway Companies very naturally would, in the event of any person proposing to act upon this particular clause, say, " Very well, it is quite true that that clause empowers you to run your engine on our line, but the Act does not compel- us to allow you to use our water, or to abandon our terminus and various situations to your use, and, therefore, the moment you put an engine on our line we shall bring an action against youfor trespass. " It was, consequently, taking these things into consideration, a great question whether this clause had not been introduced into the rail way Act of Parliament for a perfectly, illusory purpose. At theperiod when the London and Birmingham and the Grand Junction Railways•were completed, the plaintiffs, as he had already stated, had been very large carriers, and Messrs. Chaplin and Horne had been in an equally extensive line of business as ooach-masters, and both parties were invited by the Railway ` Company tO avail themselves of the rail for their carrying purposes. He could imagine that the chief object in sending for both parties was to prevent, if possible, that extent of com , petion in reference to the carrying branch whiclfwas of fered by the canals: Subsequently to the attainment of the second Act of Parliament, whereby the London and nirmingliam and the Grand Junction Railways be came, as it were, for the transit goods, tr uc k s f rom London to Liverpool and ganchester one and the same concern, an agreement had been enteretl into between the defendants and the plaintiffs, hy which the former were to convey goods forwarded by the latter at the re gular tolls, but to make them an allowance in common with others of the trade of 20 per cent. on the amount of their tonnage of carriage. The agreement continued in existence until 1840, when it being proposed by the Railway Company to connect their line with another to Chester and Crewe, the plaintiffs began to see what a vast and fearful monopoly that and other similar ar rangements might throiv into the hands of the defend ants, and thereupon they had procured the insertion of some protective clauses upon the subject in . the Act. Those clauses, however, had been lost, but the endea vour on the part of the plaintiffs to obtain their preser vation appeared to have given such offence to the Direc tors of the Grand Junction Railway Company, that on the 6th of June, 1840, they had served them with a notice that the agreement which was then in existence between them must terminate at the expiration of three months, namely, in the September following. On the arrival of that period, the defendants had refused to carry the plaintiffs goods further than Birmingham, but had continued to convey those of Chaplin and Horne the whole way. _ The plaintiffs had, therefore, since that time, been compelled to keep a number of men at Bir mingham to unload their goods from the trucks on the defendants' line, and to place them in trucks belonging to the London and Birmingham Company. This could not be accomplished without great expense. Prior to this the Company had charged ld. per pound for goods, but afterwards they had drawn up a new order of charges, under which small parcels were charged separately at-is. 6d. each, and upon the plaintiffs sending up a bale for transmission they, had declined to forward it unless paid for by the parcel. The consequence had been that the greatest source of profit—that source which .was looked to as the chief profit arising from the carriage of parcels, whether by coach or by waggon or by canal—the carriage of small parcels—had been closed against them. Another result was that if the Company did not choose to take the word of the party who delivered the bales to them, where any of the bales contained parcels, that those par cels were all for one person, it rendered it a matter of necessity that the rejected bales must be opened. How ever, at length; with a view to the adoption of legal.pro eeedings, the plaintiff 'fad sent a bale to the terminus, and had tendered in payment the sum of of twenty five shillings,, which was in accordance with the usual charge. The Company refused to accept that amount, and demanded 4/. Is. Bd.s being the penny per pound extra. Now it was very doubtful whether the Act of a Railway Company empowered them to do more than to be carriers on their own line. It did not, at any rate, vest them with authority to become a " Small Parcels Delivery Company" in London—(Laughter) --that he took to be quite blear. But they had' entered into an arrangement with Messrs. Chaplin and Horne, it ap peared; to the . effect that if Chaplin and Horne would collect and deliver goods in town' and forward such goods to tyrn,. they would do the like with regard to the country; 13o_ parties had issued advertisements accordingly. Chaplin and Horne were to receive 10s. per ton; which reduced the expense to them of the transit by the railway to 555. per ton ; 'but the Company had refused to convey goods forithe plaintiffs under the full charge of 655. per ton. 'thus the plaintiffs were, in addition to the ob stacles which were thrown in their way at Birmingham, compelled to pay 10s. per ton more than rival parties, it being remembered, too, that those parties had been'coach masters, and not carriers, prior to the introduction Of railroads. And then the Company said that the plain tiffs had nothing to do with any agreement they might think proper to enter into With another establishment. The natural effect of this conduct, as regarded the plain tiffs, must be their ruin. To what consequences--im portant consequences tn'the public—must notihe decision of this question lead ? Suppose the plaintiffs were to be compelled to abandon their business ? Why, then,, the Company, in all probability, would review their tariff, and as there would then be no competition in the market, they would make just such charges as they might choose. He would put a case :—Suppose his Learned Friend (Mr. Erle) and himself had been the same circuit, and having ter minated their labours, were to pack up their law books to gether in one parcel and send them up to town, they would of course expect to pay for one parcel. Bnt upon the plan which had been introduced by the Grand Junction Rail way, as related to the plaintiffs, they would be called upon to pay for two parcels. He contended that the plaintiffs were entitled to receive the same allowance for goods as was made in favour of Chaplin and Horne. k a n t n d fairlyadl all —that tt h n mt large. a n theyag On d— v nou would the n n There was no d ou bt b u t t h a t if ra il wa y s were proper l y t were t ae i nr c ee aogn other fe de r w hand, tgrheaa tvlbewell unless etfio t t d h oo a n t j done, they would lead to a monopoly beyond even what the mind would at first conceive. Lord ABINGER—WouId it not be better that this should be turned into a special case ? The questions in volved are certainly of the utmost importance, not merely to the parties immediately concerned, but to the public at large. This matter is of so much importance that it ought to be maturely and deliberately considered. A verdict was then taken for the plaintiffs, subject to a special case ; the parcels of the plaintiffs to be carried by the company, at the charge of eighteenpence per pat.- eel ; and an account of suchparcels to be taken until the Court above shall have delivered its judgment. Mr. ERLE said that lie conceived he had a complete answer to the statement made by his Learned Friend, LOfd ADlNgglt, addzessing the jury, said there could be no doubt but that the tendency of these Companies waa to lead to a great monopoly. He ought, however, to say that it could not fairly be charged against those parties, as they had obtained thtir powers under an Act of Parliament, that it was their own fault, and when it had arrived at the position of 'a monopoly it would then become requisite for the Legislature to interfere. There could be no doubt, for instance, that railroads would put an•end to canals ; and with regard to travelling on the road, he must say that he did not despair of living to see the day when persons would be found to set up vans, and so restore the good old English method of tra velling, in which there had been great comfort and ease. They had too,'in those days, been able to stop at any place on the road which they 'might be anxious to see, and they had then also had the great delight of viewing the country through which they were travelling. These were advantages of which they were deprived by the introduction of railways. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, July 3. BURBIDGE AND ANOTHER V. PLUMER. This was an action to recover the Sum of 661. 9s. for goods sold and deiivered. Mr. Sergeant Bompas and• Mr. Humfrey were Coun sel for the plaintiffs ; Mr. Sergeant Shea and Mr. C. Jones for the defendants. The plaintiffs were ironmongers in-Fleet-street ; the defendant was sued as one of a committee of gentleihen formed for the purpose of establishing a newspaper called The Journal of the British Empire, and the de mand made by the plaintiffs was for stoves supplied to a house No. 346 in the Strand, where the business of the paper was to be conducted. It appeared that the principal projector of the new newspaper was the Count de Lisledone ; that his object was to establish a paper which should advocate the Guizot policy in this coun try, and that, for that purpose, he proposed to have on the premises in question a saloon, handsomely fitted up, in which he might receive foreign ambassadors. The meet ings of the committee were first held in Essex-street, in the Strand ; but they were subsequentlyremoved to No. 346, Strand, where the stoves in question were supplied. The most distinct evidence was given that the defendant, Mr. Spencer Perceval Plumer, wa4 present at nearly all those meetings, and particularly at the meeting at which the order was given, and at a subsequent meeting, when the satisfaction of the committee was expressed at the very reasonable price for which the articles had been furnished by the plaintiffs. The house in the Strand was taken in June, 1840, and the goods had been supplied at ready money prices; a day was fixed for payment, but when on that day application was made, the committee was found to be in great disorder, quarrelling among themselves, and one accusing the other. The Count said that he had the money in his pocket, and was extremely ready to pay, but he must ask his solicitors whether it would be safe, as he might have to pay twice over. Nothing, however, had been paid, and accordingly the present action was brought. On behalf of the plaintiff the declaration at the Stamp-office, dated July 15, 1840, was put in; and in that document the Count de Lisledone and the defendant declared themselves proprietors. Mr. Sergeant SHEA, in addressing the Jury, urged that there was no distinct evidence that the defendant was a proprietor at the time that these stoves were ordered. The jury, however, under the direction of the Learned Judge, found a verdict for the plantiff, damages 661. 9s. BURDIDGE AND ANOTHER V. DEARE. When this cause was called on, Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS proposed that it should be allowed to stand over until the plaintiffs found whether they could get their money. Mr. Sergeant SUER—I will not consent. I should like to see what the jury think of two actions brought for the same articles. The trial then proceeded. The evidence was similar to that given in the last case, except that it appeared that the defendant had acted in the capacity of :chair man of the committee. On behalf of the defendant, however, the servant of the Count de Lisledone was called, and he stated thdt he considered Mr. Deare had been, at the time in question, his master's private secretary. An attempt was alto made t 3 prove that the Count was the tenant of the house in the Strand, but it failed; and in this, as in the former ease, a verdict was found for the plaintiff, with the same damagca. •POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Charles Crachnell, the driver of an Oxford coaA, was brought before Sir John Key; charged with assaulting Mary Ann Williams, a simple country girl, aged 16 years, whe had been put under his care by her friends in the country to be set down at the end of ,OxfOrd-street, and directed towards the re sidence of her friends in Tottenham-court-road. Mary Ann Williams deposed, that she had been living at, Gloucester, but was now residing with her aunt in Chapel street, Tottenham-court-road. She came from Oxford on Tuesday by the coach the prisoner drives, and did not know him before. He treated her with some ale on the road, and asked whether she was going to take a situation in London. She said she was He •said he wanted a servant, if she should like the place. She said no, she was not going ir.,tti service directly. She was to stay with her friend .% When she alighted from the coach, he said he would take her to her friends. . She had a wrong address. Her friends had moved. He took her to the end of the street, but could net find Mr. Lally, to whom she was to go. He then took her into some place, gave her some tea, and on going into set street again, boughtl her a pair of stockings as her feet were wet. He took her into two or three public houses and treated her with cold gin and water. She objected, but_he made her drink. He then asked her to go the play, and said .he was in town three nights a week, and if she lived with him she should go every night. He said she could have a bed to herself at his lodgings, and took her there. She saw a female Ser vant there, and then they went to the play. After that Iv.s over they returned to his lodgings. lie took her to a bedroom where she sat %town, and he began to smoke a pip and drink some ale. Niter a short time he insisted that she should undress herself entirely and get into bed. She slid so, because she was afraid. He sat smoking for some time, and then undressed himself, and came to bed, The servant. had told him to put out the candle, but he forgot to do so, and wit ness told him of it, and he got out of bed to extinguish it. When he returned he began taking liberties with her directly, but she effectually resisted him.. She got out of bed at half past five in the morning, but he pulled her in again. She called out, and the servant came. She then dressed herielf, left him early in the morning, and by inquiry succeeded in finding her friends. Mr. Wontner, who attended for the prisoner, asked if she did not see him go out with his coach the next moining? She admitted that she did, and she spoke to a policeman, who took the prisoner's name. Mr. Wontner urged that a Jury would not convict a per son of assault where the complainant gave so much encourage ment, or at least made so little resistance, and behaved so in discreetly. Sir Joni.; KEY thought differently. She was of very tender age, had been supplied with drink, and was at a less how to act. She had been placed in his care, and this mide his conduct al together inexcusable. He thought there was sufficient ground for committing for the assault, but as she was a stranger,' and could not describe places, be should like inquiries to be made before he proceeded with the case. Inspector Brake then received some directions from the Ma gistrate, and the prisoner was remanded, but was ultimately brought up again and fined 101. The fine was paid. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE AGAINST SIR TrICMAS MONCRIEFF AND CAPTAIN ORMSEY.—OR Saturday the adjourned police charge against Sir Thomas Moncrieff and Capt. Ormsby was concluded. The case is briefly this :—Police Ser .geant Kendillon charged Captain Ormsby with having assaulted him and with being drunk. Sir T. Moncrieff was also charged with having laid hold of Sergeant Ken,- dillon with intent to rescue Captain Ormsby. The alleged assault took place on Tuesday morning, but Captain Ormsby did not make his appearance until Sa turday. Sir T. Moncrieff, however, came forward, and police Sergeant Kendillon, C 13, made his complaint. The Magistrate's decision was postponed in order to pro cure the attendance of a lamp-lighter, a witness to a par ticular fact. Police Sergeant Kendillon repeated his charge, which, however, slightly varied from the evidence he had given on the previous day. The assistance of the police had been required by Captain Ormsby, who complained that he had lost a gold chain at No. 6, Tenterden-street. The chain was afterwards found by Captain Ormsby on his own person, and an offer was made to treat the police to gin, which was declined. Captain Ormsby, who was in toxicated, squared up to him and struck him on the side of the head more than once. He laid hold of Captain Ormsby, upon which Captain Ormsby called out to Sir T. Moncrieff, " Capsize the rascal I" Sir Thomas Mon crieff caught hold of witness and made several blows. Witness then said he should take both to the station, and with the assistance of Police Constable Whitaker, C 30, the defendants were taken to the station-house. Mr. MALTBY asked if the defendants made resistance while on the way ? . . Police Sergeant Kendilloh said the defendants walked very quietly. When in the station-house Captain Ormsby said that witness and the other constable had drunk a pint of gin each. Mr. MALTBY then very tuinutely questioned the police , sergeant as to the accuracy of a statement made on a former day by Sir T. Moncrieff, namely, that he (the police sergeant), having an unlighted cigar in his mouth, asked Sir Thomas for a light from his cigar ; that Sir Thomas proffered a lght, but refused to let the sergeant take the cigar in his fingers ; that the sergeant ob tained a light from the lamplighter, and then made the remark that Sir T. Monerieff was no gentleman, but that the lainplighter was ; that on Sir T. Moncrieff making a reply the police sergeant called him a black guard ; and that when Captain Ormsby observed that such language was improper f i rom a policeman to a gen tleman, and that the only excuse was that he was drunk, the sergeant called him 4. liar ; to all of which the police sergeant gave the most unqualified contradiction. The police sergeant declared that he was not smoking at all ; that he asked for a light in order to accommodate Captain Ormsby, who had dropped his cigar ; that he never tasted gin as stated ; that when he called the con stable to come away some abusive epithets were applied to him, which ended in Captain Ormsby making the assault complained - of ; that he never applied the term blackgard to Sir Thomas MonCrieff, nor that of liar to Captain Ormsby ; but that on the contrary Captain Ormsby called him a liar. Policeman Whitaker, C 30, said Capt. Ormsby began squaring and striking at his sergeant. Witness thought it was in a larking way, though the blows were e harder than he should have liked. Witness interfered, and then Sir T. Moncrieff struck at the sergeant ; ultimately both were taken to . the station. No gin was drank at the house No. 6, Tenterden-street ; the police sergeant did not smoke a cigar, nor had lie been smoking, to wit ness's knowledge. Witness did not hear the term black guard or liar used by the defendant or the police sergeant: The lamplighter was called, but he courd not say that the police sergeant asked him to give a light for one of the gentlemen. Did not see the sergeant smoking, nor did he witness any assault. Mr. MALTBY asked Sir Thomas if he had anything to say ?- 7 Sir Thomas replied nothing more than what he had stated on the former occasion. He did not see the policemen drink gin, but Captain Ormsby told him they had had gin. He positively declared tl police-sergeant asked him for a light to a cigar the sergeant was smok ing, He recollected the circumstance more particularly, because he told the sergeant to take a light, at the same time reversing his cigar, and putting the lighted end into his own mouth. He saw the police-sergeant get a light from tre lamplighter, and after applying . it to his cigar, said that the lamplighter was a gentleman and that he (Sir Thomas Moncrieft) was none. Sir Thomas then declared that the term " blackguard" was applied to him, and on Captain Ormsby remonstrating the sergeant applied the term " liar" to. Captain Ormsby. Defend ant was quite positive that he was sober. Captain Ormsby said he saw the police sergeant with a tumbler of raw gin in his hand, which he was drinking in the house, No. 6, Tenterden-street. Some one came in and said the police wanted brandy and cigars. De fendant and Sir Thomas Moncrieff went out and found the police-sergeant and the policeman outside of the house. The sergeant had a cigar, which he afterwards smoked. The language, as described by Sir Thomas Moncrieff, was used by the police-sergeant. Defendant declared he was quite sober. Inspector Baker said he took the charge. The de fendant Ormsby was certainly intoxicated ; Sir Thomas Moncrieff was not drunk, but he had the appearance of having taken a glass or two of' wine. The only remark made by the defendants against the police was that they had drank a pint of gin each. Sir Thomas Moncrieff said he went quietly to the sta tion-house; solely because his object was t) lodge a com plaint against the nolice sergeant for the offensive lan guage he had used. . . . Mr. MALTBY, after some consideration, said the charge of assault against Sir T. Moncrieff appeared of so tri fling a nature that he should dismiss the complaint. With respect to the double charge against Captain Ormsby, he should fine him ss. for heing intoxicated and on account of the trifling character of the assault, he should put on the small fine of ss. additional. On a recent occasion he had disbelieved the testimony of Ser geant Kendillon on oath, in a case of assault on the very same spot, but as the police sergeant's evidence was now corroborated by a policeman, he inflicted the moderate fine of ss. By this course he left the charge of bad lan guage urged by the defendants wholly untouched, and the defendants were at liberty, if they chose, to carry their complaint before the Commissioners. PARIS POLICE. MY CAP. WAS ALL I CARED ABOUT.—The Court of Assize of the department of Indre et Loire, held at Tours, was a few days since occupied with the trial of a young man, aged 20 years, named Guilion. He appeared to be a regular clodpole, and to the questions of the President gave the following account of the adventure which led to the present charge : "On the 28th March, on leaving the village of Conture, about seven o'clock in the evening, I overtook a girl who was walking in the same direction as myself. I spoke to her, and whispered a few soft things in her ear. As this did not seem to annoy her at' all, I put my arm round her waist, and in . this manner we walked along until we reached Fereieres. On arri'ing in that village, and feeling thirsty, we went together into a wine-shop, where we each drank a glass of brandy. We went out together, with the wife and daughter of the landlord, and I again put my arm round her waist, and, as we were going along, kissed her several times befgre the above-named parties. When they left us I asked her to grant me the favour she had promised me, but she refused, and I took away her cap and hey,handkerchief from her ; and that is all that passed." The plaintiff, who was twice the age of the prisoner, and anything but prepossessing in her appearance, said she had resisted all the advances of the prisoner. . She had allowed him to kiss her, it was true, and she had been forced by him to drink a glass of brandy. She did not, complain of that ; she complained of having .been ill treated, and thrown down, from which violence she had fainted, and more particularly complained of the accused taking away her cap, which cost her Bf. • PRESIDENT—It is not then to avenge your injured honour that you bring this charge ? PlaintiffNo, if he had given me up my cap I should have laughed at the rest of- the affair, but he would not do so.. Have you not had a child ?—Yes, have a little boy seven years old. Several witnesses deposed that they had met the couple proceeding along the road quite " cheek-by-jowl" toge ther. One of the witnesses deposed with,the discretion worthy or a Paris vintner. On being asked by the P ! re sident what the plaintiff and defendant said to each other, if they joked, and if the defendant was drunk, he gave the-following characteristic reply 7—" Upon my word it is no easy matter to say that a man is drunk, unless one has ston him several times half seas over ;' and with re spect ,to what the couple were saying to each other, I really think they were speaking without saying a word, and joking without being in fun." After this luminous evidence, the defendant being found not guilty of the criminal part of the assault, was . ‘ -sentenced to six months' imprisonment for battery. THE DOG AND THE THIEF.—Last Friday a dashing young blade of the first water, looking the gentleman as well as being the dandy, alighted at about four in the afternoon from an elegant cabriolet at the door of Mme. D , a jeweller, residing in the Rue de Fau bourg St. Martin. Leon, that is the worthy's name, entered the shop, and desired to be shown some rich jewels, as he had a selection to make. The mistress hastened to lay before the• elegant young man the most fashionable and richest articles her shop contained. The gentleman was critical, made several observations, and tried on several rings to judge of their effect. A sprightly. conversati‘ncommenced between the witty Leon and the lively lady of diamonds, in which the partieS were;abuSily engaged when a second gentleman entered, and begged to see a splendid gold ehain that was hanging at - the window. The jeweller immediately got upon 4 chair to take down the chain in question, but while she was employed in so doing, Leon, who, on the arrival of the new comer had begun playing with his gold-headed cane, accidentally overturned, and .put out the wax-light on the counter, .as the gv.h4cl not yet been lighted. At the moment of • this Mishap .a third confederate, for wham the door had been left ajar, suc ceeded in getting into the shop unobserved, on all-fours. ! In the twinkling of an eye, thanks to . the obscurity Rre vailing, the handy thief swept rings; watches,.chami, brooches, &C., from the counter on Which they were lying, into his pocket, while Leon, by his sprightly con versation,' continued 'to .divert . the attention of the jeweller. • Hitherto the plan combined by Leon and his confede rate§ went on brilliantly, when suddenly a little Scotch terrier, little accustomed to see customers ape in their_ walk the canine species, began to growl, then to bark, and lastly, flew at the nose of the young man acting the qua druped for the time being. "Fox,'Fok, hold your tongue," was exclaimeAby his mistress. Fox, in fact, held his tongue, but it ,was because he was holding a human nose. " Cursed dog," ejaculated the thief, shaking the dog by a vigorous 'effort from his nasal feature and bolting off like a shot. "We had - better make ourselves scarce" was the cry of the man who wanted to see the splendid chain hanging in the shop-window, and Leon was about to put the prudent advice into practice, when the jeweller, recovered from her momentary alarm, jumped before him and loudly called for help. Help came, and Leon was arrested ; the two confederates had, however, succeeded in making good their escape, and carrying off jewellery enough to open a shbp in a small way. When arrested, Leon stoutly denied all , participation in the act, and indignantly asked how a man of his ap pearance could be suspected of so dirty i a 'trick. Ap pearances are not more trustworthy n Paris than elsewhere, and the fashionable Leon Moria was sent to " durance vile," in spite. of his denegations, he hav ing been recognised, though barely twenty years of age, as an old offender.

We understand that it is intended to prefer in dictments against Dr. Down and Mr. Samuel Silver Taylor, and several other ch iefs of the Tory party, who wilfully and falsely answered the questions put to them before polling, notwithstanding they had long ceased to hold any qualification whatever within the borough. Tlie case of the ReArend Dr. Wilson, who, although at the present time living in laigings, answered " Yes" to the question asking him if he had the same qualification, a house, `&c., will also undergo investigation, with the view of taking some ulterior proceedings against the Reverend' elector.—Southampton Paper. ACCIDENT ON THE RAILWAY.—An acci• dent, likely to be attended with very serious conse quences, occurred on our railway yesterday (Friday) afternoon to the twelve o'clock up train. We hear that when near Basingstoke the axle of the tender suddenly snapped, and the engine parted from the tender. The concussion consequent upon it was so great as to com pletely turn over all the carriages, and although there were 110 passengers in the train, we understand that no person received any injury.—Hampshire Independent. SOUTHAMPTON.—Contrary to our confident predictions for some weeks past, Southampton is become the prey of the Tories. It has been bought, openly and unblishingly bought, by Tory gold, and a majority ob taine I by hard Tory cash. That this was the case is too much a matter of notoriety to require any elaborate proof of its truth ; 'and we record a circumstance so dis g:aceful to the town, with deep shame, and a bitter con tempt for men who, entrusted by their country with one of the most important privileges a freeman possess, will yet for a little paltry pelf barter their own independence, and sell the interests of their countrymen.—Hampshire Independent Lady Anne Culling Smith, only sister of the Duke of Wellington, has been suffering from severe in.. disposition at Hampton Court Palace. Her Ladyship within the last few days has greatly improved, and pro bably in a short time will be restored to her usual health. MORNING SUN• . T 1 p, lo t , ke
