ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT, Hertford. July 16. CROWN COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant 'FADDY.) William Stratford, aged 21, was indicted for a rape on Ann Jarvis. Mr. Ryland, by direction of the Court, examined the witnesses in behalf of the prosecutrix, and Mr. Wordsworth defended the prisoner. The prosecutrix, who gave her evidence and conducted herself in the witness-box with great propriety, stated that she resided with her father and mother at Tring. In the evening of Tuesday, the 29th of September last, she went to Wilston feast, accompanied by a female of the name of Eliza Turner. They went to a public-house called the Moon and Stars, where they met with the prisoner, and a man of the name of Owen. They left to return home at 25 minutes past eleven o'clock, but before they quit ted the house, they partook of a small quantity of gin at the request of the prisoner. As soon as they had left the house they were followed by the prisoner and Owen. They walked together as far as Tring Ford, where she (witness) turned off to go home. Previous to reaching that spot, the prisoner and Owen tried to separate her and her companion, but they would not part. At length the prisoner laid hold of her by the waist, and Owen seized her friend and parted them. Witness tried to get away, but could not succeed. As soon as Owen and Turner were out of sight, the prisoner threw her down. She called out " Eliza Turner," and " Murder," several times, and endeavoured to get away, but could not. Eliza Turner did not return, and the prisoner soon after left her. She afterwards met Eliza Turner, who was waiting for her on the bridge, and they went home together. Her father and her mother were at home. They were in bed. She did not tell them what had occurred. She went to bed, but could not get any rest. She was very uncomfortable, and finding that she could not get any rest for several nights,she thought it better to tell her father what had occurred, and she accordingly told him on the fol lowing Friday. Her father then took her to Mr. Faithful, a solicitor, and afterwards to a Magistrate. She was em ploysd at a silk factory at Tring. Eliza Turner also worked at the same place. When they were at the feast, she did not ask the prisoner to give her some gin— he voluntarily offered it, and she took but a very small quantity. The prisoner was not drunk, though he was rather fresh. Saw several persons whom she knew in the room, but would positively swear that she never said to any of them that she went there for the purpose of getting a man, arid that a man she would have before she went home. Never asked a person of the name of Tripp to go home with her. James Davis and her brother were at the feast. Did not ask him to go home nith her that night. Prisoner asked her, to allow him to go home with her, but she refused. Eliza Turner confirmed the testimony of the prosecutrix, and added that after she heard the cries of " Murder," she ran to a house not far off and knocked up the inmates. A man presented himself at the window, and she begged of him to go and protect a female who was being ill-treated by two men. That person; however, retused to interfere, stating that as there were two men he was afraid to go. Cross-examined.—Did not mention the circumstance to any person after she got home, as she considered the prosecutrix was the proper person to mention it. Joseph Wells, a labourer, residing at Tring Ford, stated that he recollected the last witness calling him up in the course of the night of the 29th of September. She asked him to get up anti assist a female whom two men were ill-using. He de clined to interfere, as, it being least-time, he did not like to re out alone. He did not go out, and he heard nothing mere of the matter. Henry Coulter, a police-constable, stated that he was pre sent at the Magistrate's office, on the 2d of October, when the prosecutrix made a complaint. A warrant was granted for the apprehension of the prisoner. He did all in his power to apprehend him, but could not succeed till the 13th of May last. Mr. Peter R. Dewsbury, a surgeon, residing at Tring, stated, that on Friday, the 2d October, he was called upon to examine the prosecutrix. lie found her much bruised and swollen, and also a alight wound, evidently made with the finger nail. Cross-examined —The wound and bruises he had no doubt were caused by a hand. Mr. Sergeant TADDY said the evidence of the surgeon en tirely put an end to the case. It was quite clear the offence imputed to the prisoner had not been committed. Mr. RYLAND begged to call his Lordship's attention to the evidence of the prosecutrix herself, who, in the most distinct anti positive manner, had sworn to the offence having been fully completed. Mr. Sergeant TADDY thought that fact was negatived by the evidence of Dlr. Dewsbury. Mr. RYLAND considered the statement of the surgeon per fectly consistent with the evidence of the prosecutrix. Mr. Dewsbury could not pretend to say that the offence had not been committed. All he said was that the bruises were caused by a hand; and the prosecutrix stated that after the offence was committed, and whilst almost in a fainting state, the pri sorer pulled her about in a very rough manner. If there was any doubt, he would beg permission to recal the prosecutrix, and examine her as to that point. Mr. Sergeant TADDY thought it would be unnecessary. Mr. RYLAND said that as he was merely examining the ' witnesses on behalf of the Court, be would make no further observations. He considered it his duty to press the point, as he thought his Lordship might have been labouring under some misapprehension. Mr.' Sergeant Tarim' told the Jury they must acquit the prisoner. Mr. RYLAND suggested that, at all events, a common as sault had been proved. No . 15,244 EAST INDIA HOUSE, JIILY 16, 1841.

NVlssraw wished to . the same interes lion of those Shareholders who rto. - Would they have the same interest as ~ s 7 what would be done with the declined eh. ' re • . __ The CHAIRMAN to the first question a who did not take the shares should have . HT would b and power as the others. He did not think t... any declined shares, but if there were he would to. er them tt those Proprietors who would take them.—( Hear. ) Mr. Worse wished to know what were the prospects . o f !hi` 1 railway. He had been on the Continent and heard it cite"' a complete failure. Mr. SALOSIONS (a Director) took that opportunity of ex pressing his opinion on the subjects proposed by his brother Directors. It was always an ungracious thing for Directer , to ask Proprietors for an advance of money. The Directors had, by.vever, found that 200,0001. must be raised to get rid of all obligations hanging over the Company ; they had de layed asking for money as long as possible, until they could wait no longer. The Directors themselves were all person ally liable to large amounts; and he thought it much better to raise the whole of the money at once. The shares had been put at a low price, not because they were invaluable, but with a view of insuring there being taken, and that Proprietors might obtain a profit commensurate with the risk they had run. With regard to the prospects of thi , Railway lie had paid much attention to that subject. and he was now prepared to state, 10 his firm opinion, that nothing could detract from the principle- of working by wires ; he ha', gone amongst the working men and he had studied the ques tion closely, and he was confident that the syste of working by wires would be found to be almost perfect. If any Railway should give satisfaction to the proprietors it W 25 i b i s Qa.. --- ( Hear, hear.) 1% hen the Railway should be completed to Fenchurch-streel he was sure the increase both in passengers and goods would be very great, and that when they ~,, e t this time 12 months the circumstances of the Company woo s ; he found to be in a different state ; the present weekly incom,. now exceeded a thousand pounds, and the expenses were 4251. per week ; there was no doubt that the concern would pay it the Proprietors would only support the Directors at this time. Captain PAYNE wished to know when the extensi m line would be finished, and what would be the amount of tonnage. The CHAIRMAN expected the line would be finished by Monday week—certainly not later than the end of the present month, but heavy goods might not travel on it for some months ; he could not say what would be .the extent of ton nage, he knew that goods could be conveyed by the railroad much more expeditiously and at considerable less expense than by cartage. Mr. STEVENSON, the Engineer to the Company, said he should recommend the Directors to postpone the carriage of goods on the new line for three months. A PROPRIETOR would like to know how much the expenses of the line would be above the original estimate, and what money had been received from the traffic. The CHAIRMAN believed the actual sum required to com plete the work would exceed the original estimate by about 20J,000/. From the 6th of July, 1840, to the 30th of June, 1841, the number of passengers that had travelled on the line was 1,848,156, and the money the Company had received from passengers and goods during that time was 32,657. A PROPRIETOR was desirous to know whether the line was calculated for the transit of heavy goods. Mr. STEVENSON said his intention in designing this line was to make it permanent and strong, so as to carry any weight ; he believed that object had been obtained. The CHAIRMAN stated that a great many applications had been made for the arches under the railway, and he believed those near town would be very valuable. He then put the ques tion, " That the Report be received and adopted," together with the following resolution, which was carried unanimously, viz. :—" Resolved—That this Meeting do order that the sum of 150,0001., by the Act of 4th Victoria, cap. 12, authorized to be raised by this Company, by creating new shares, be raised accordingly. And that the further sum of 50,0001., which by the said Act this Company nre authorised to raise either on mortgage or bond, or by creating new shares, instead of bor rowing the same. be also raised, and that the sums of 150,0001. and 50,0001., making together the sum of 200,0001., so to be raised as aforesaid, shall be divided into shares of such an amount, and the calls to be made thereon shall be of such amounts, and payable at such times, as the Directors for the time being of this Company, shall think fit." Mr. GEORGE RENNIE, 111. P, wished to know the reason of Mr. Humphery's resignation of his Directorship. The CHAIRMAN said Mr. Humphery had sold shares which he did not possess. A meeting of the Board was called in consequence, and Mr. Humphery's resignation inamcJiately followed. Mr. RENNIE then rose, and animadverted strongly upon Mr. Humphery's conduct, and persisted (very much against the desire of the Chairman, Mr. Salomon, and the rest of the Directors) in moving a resolution upon the subject highly con demnatory of that gentleman's behaviour.. The motion, on being put, was carried with slight ,oppo sition The Loan l‘faron—lf you lave no fears for yourar2f. Y(ffi ought to hav e some consideration for the feelings of ()tilt:" and those who wimeas such rashness cannot be very comfort able under the apprehension of some dreadful accident. Were you drunk ? . . Mr. Sergeant Tinny, in addressing the Jury, said that the case against the prisoner was one of a very unp'easant nature, and one which he should have been glad to have withdrawn from their consideration altogether : but the Grand Jury had considered it a case which ought to be further sifted. They would be led to believe, from the evidence of the pro3ccutril that the capital offence had been committed, but the surgeon could not prove it. They must, therefore, acquit the prisoner of the rape, and it would be for them then to consider whether an assault had been committed. The conductor said that the gentleman had been drinking, it was evident. Defenchnt —I had taken half a pint of stout and a glass of brandy and water. it was indeed a piece of folly, and I don't know that I can say more. The Loan MAYOR-1 shall discharge you, Sir, and I can only express a hope that you will not repeat such a dangerous piece of folly. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty of an assault, and Mr. Sergeant TADDY sentenced the prisoner to six months' hard labour in the house of correction. John Reed Cook, aged eighteen, was convicted of stealing twelve sheep, the property of John Parsley. It appeared that the sheep were safe in a field at St. Alban', on the night of the 10th of April On the following day they were missed, and were subsequently traced to the possession of a butcher residing in Lambeth, who bought them of the pri soner at Smithfield. NV AN " ZWORI -1- 1 - 1 POLICE. Henry Keen, a journeyman carpenter, living at the water side, was charged with attempting self-destruction, and also with threatening thelife of hi: wife. Anne Keen, the daughter of the defendant, stated that on Friday (yesterday) morning, about half past seven o'clock, her father called her into his room. He was lying in bed, and his left arm pouring with blood. The witness wished to bind it up, but defendant would not let her. So she ran out and brought in the police. Police constable Castle, 123 V, stated that he found the de fendant bleeding profusely from a wound in the left arm. A razor was lying by the defendant's side, with which he admit ted having severed one of the arteries; he also admitted that he had meant to destroy himself, and he intended to do so }et. Sarah Ann Keen, the defendant's wife, said her husband had of late become very loose in his habit=, and though he had six children, he seldom came home sober one night out of the week, —he had beat he r repea t e dl y , h a d threatened her life, and on Tuesday last he said h e wou ld wa sh his hands in her blood. Mr. PAYNTER—Then I su pp os e you go in fear of your life ? —Complainant said she did. The defendant said that he had no wish to harm his wife. She was a " cross-grained" one, and made his home so uncom. Portable, that he could seldom bear to go into it. It wa s h er temper that caused him to attempt suicide. Air.

This was an action for a breach of promise of marriage by the defendant to the plaintiff. Mr. Addison conducted the case of the plaintiff, awl Mr. Cresswell, assisted by Mr. Temple, that of the defendant. It appeared from the statement of the Learned Counsel for the plaintiff, and from the evidence of the witnesses, that the plaintiff is the daughter of a Mr. Hugill, who is a consider. able farmer, residing at a farm called Parke's Farm, neat Kirkby-11loorside, in this county, who has also four sons and four other daughters, of which the plaintiff is the second, and now about the age of 30. The defendant, with his trother and mother, resided on a farm in the same neighbourhood, a con siderable portion of which was freehold, and belonged to the family, and in which the defendant had an interest, the extent of which, however, was not proved. He had also a copyhold cottage and Barth of his own. He was about the same age as the plaintiff, and in a similar situation in life. Some 12 years age be because-a..iseett y ...ensta-nt risitaf—it the how° of the plaintiff's father, and an intimacy commenced between her and the defendant, which met the approbation of the parents of the lady, and it seemed of the parents of her swain also. However, after the courtship had continued about six years, the lady became pregnant, and as the defendant did not seem inclined to take the only honourable course in such a case, he was forbidden the house, and all communica tion between the parties was put an end to. By some means or other the defendant, in the course of the year 1839, contrived to renew the acquaintance, which was dis covered by her brother William, who met them walking to gether on the road. Thinking that it might lead to a proper termination of the affair, he allowed them to meet at his house, having himself become married and removed from his father's house. The consequence, however, was, that in the course of the year 1840 it was again apparent that he had taken advantage of the opportunities allowed him for a very different purpose, and another child was born. The plaintiffs brother William spoke to him about his shameful conduct, and de manded of him if he meant to marry her. The defendant said he would marry her the next Saturday, and would get a license immediately. Preparations were accordingly made for the nuptials, but when the day came his fickle genius again pre vailed, and he was not found; and nothing being heard of him for three weeks after, this action was commenced. On being served with the declaration in the action, he said that he hacl, promised to marry her, and admitted that he had used her very ill, and that he would marry her. His resolution, ho wever , never got beyond the promise, and the action proceeded, to which he had pleaded, first, the usual plea, that he did not promise ; and secondly, the more singular plea, especially when applied to the case of a twelve years' courtship, that a reasonable time had not elapsed between the promise and the action to allow him to perform it. Mr. Addison, in addressing the Jury. an ticipated that his Learned Friend (Mr. Cresswell) would dwell upon the fact of two children having been born, but he would remind the Jury that this was a wrong of his own doing, for he defied all the world to show that she had been gu;lty of any other misconduct than that to which she had been seduced by the defendant, and they would never allow him to set up one wrong as a defence or mitigation of another wrong done by him. .They would rather treat it as an aggravation of his offence, that he had not only broken his promise to her, but had also placed her in a position in which she could not hope to find an honourable settlement in life in any other quarter. The evidence having been gone through, Mr. CRESSWELL addressed the Jury for the defendant, and contended that there was no ground to presume any promise was made before the birth of the first child, and that it was the common case of young persons who, finding themselves in a situation of temptation, mutually forget what they owe to their own honour and to society, and yield to the excitement of their passions. As to the damages, he thought it would be an encouragement to loose conduct in others if under such circum stances the Jury were to award heavy damages in a case like this, and which indeed the defendant was in no condition to pay, as it was a mere assumpti. without proof that he was possessed of any property of his own. Lord DENMAN, in summing up the case, said that the plea that sufficient time had not elapsed to enable the defendant to perform his promise was ridiculous, and ought not to have been placed upon the record. He then briefly recapitulated the circumstances of the case, and the Jury after a short con sultation returned a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages 1501. 'tun A vote of thanks was then passed to the present Directors, which the Crairman acknowledged, and the meeting broke up. NORFOLK ClRCUlT.—Beqford, July 15. The assizes for the county of Bedford commenced this morn (Ate of'Zflatt Wafaninnte - reurrett actiell tor gnats solo, anu tne Other was postponed till the Spring assizes, on account of the absence of a material witness. The following case excited very great interest in the county, and occupied a long time in the trial. The bill was found at the last assizes, together with another against ,‘ Deaf Burke," the celebrated pugilist, Lord Chetwynd, and others, for an alleged riot, charged to have been committed at the time to which the trial of to-day re lated, which has been removed by certiorari into the Court of Queen's Bench. ( Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) Thomas Brown was indicted for unlawfully refusing to aid and assist one Daniel Herbert, a policeman, when duly called upon to do so in quelling a riot. Mr. Andrews and Mr. Gunning were counsel for the prose cution ; Mr. Byles and Mr. O'Malley for the defendant. It appeared thaton the morning of the 9th of last February the Rev. Mr. Cautley, curate of Broughton, in Bucks, ob served an unusual passage of persons on foot and in every kind of vehicle through his village, and on inquiry he learned that a prize-fight was about to " come off " at the neighbour ing village of Hulcott. He forthwith mounted his horse and rode with the streams of people until he reached a certain field in that parish, wherein he saw a ring duly staked end " roped " out, and two persons stripped, or " peeled" to com bat, and some 300 or 400 spectators. He left the scene of the commencing fight, and called at the residences of two Magis trates, but they were Loth absent, and he then rode to the house of the prosecutor, Herbert, one of the rural police, whom he found. He placed Herbert on his own horse, and desired him to ride to the ring and put an end to the fight, whilst he followed on foot. The prosecutor rode thither accordingly, but was unable to make any impression on the mob, and Mr. Cant ley called upon the constable " to charge him to assist him," which the policeman accordingly did. Armed with the character of an assistant to the constable, Mr. Cautley attempted to get into the inner ring, but was prevented by the crowd. Hort ert made the like attempt with the like want of success, and both got severely punished by the mob for their interference. The battle, which was between Cain and Adams, went on after this with spirit, and except when an attempt Was made on the part of the authorities to check it, the mob conducted themselves tolerably peaceably. The prosecutor then charged several other persons to aid him, and amongst them the des fendant, Mr. Brown, who was sitting en the seat of his cars rage and four, his horses being governed by two postilions. The policeman addressed him, saying, "Mr. Brown, I charge you in the Queen's name to aid and assist me hi putting e stop to this fight." Mr. Brown dill not positively refuse to do so, but said " he had his horses to mind," and, in fact., rendered no assistance, and shortly afterwards he left the ground. Mr. Cautley then with great bravery threw himself into the ring, and, for a short time, stopped the fight, bist it toidloy began again, the mob hooting and etillitig Out that he was "no beak." litreli this he left the scene, and re turned with the Reverend Mr. Smith, a Magistrate, whereurn the people cried out, " The justice, the justice ! and many left the ground. Soon, however, the people returned to the charge, the fight reeottnneneed, and the Rev. Magistrate read the Riot Act as loud as he could. For a moment the angry mob seemed pacified, but some one seized the Justice by the leg and attempted to unhode him, and this was the signal for renewed riot and violence. He read the Riot Act a second time in dumb show, and whilst doing so some ruffian threw a bottle at him, which missed him, but struck a poor fellow between the eyes, and inflicted a severe injury. The fight continued until one of the combatants was fairly worsted, when the spectators left the field, and peace was restored, no substantial injury being inflicted upon any one except the man who was struck by the bottle thrown at Mt. Smith. The Magistrates of the county afterwards directed this and some other prosecutions to be preferred, and the defendant and ethers were held to bail. _ _ UNIVERSITY INTEWAGgNcE.

Mr. Baron ALDERsoN summed up, and the Jury, after a short. consultation, found the defendant Guilty. Three other gentlemen, against whom similar bills had been found, upon the verdict being given, withdrew their pleas of " not guilty," and pleaded " guilty." Mr. ANDREWS, on the part of the prosecution, begged to say that the indictments were preferred on public grounds only, and that his clients were not anxious that the defendants should be visited with severity. Mr. Baron ALDEItSo said, that he thought it possible the defendants right have acted in ignorance of the law, but they ought to know that it is the duty of every good subject of the Queen to keep the peace, and to set a good example of else. dience to the law of the land in the person of Its humblest officers. The law speaks through its constables and its officers, and they must be protected by the law. Ile did not think it necessary to inflict any severe punishment on the defendants, believing that this public discussion would prevent any mis apprehension on the subject in future. The defendants were then sentenced to pay a fi ne of Os. each to the Queen, and to find sureties for th eir good beha viour for twelve months. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A young man of very fashionable appearance, who stated his name to be Alfred, was brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having rut his own life in jeopardy ou the Black wall Railroad. The Superintendent of the Blackwall Railro a d s t a t e d t h at the defendant was a passenger in one of the evening trains to London, and that as the train proceeded he put his body half way out of the window, and heaving Lis arms about to the im minent danger of his life, for if he had been struck by aiiy of the trains which passed him towards Blackwall he must have been dashed to pieces, each of them having gone at the rate of 25 miles an hour. The conductor of the train stated that when he saw the de fendant thrusting his body out at the window he requested the gentleman to retire within the carriage, and represented the danger to him, but it was of no use. It was klievcd that the Stepney train in passing touched him. the LORD MAYOR (to the defendant)--Pray, Sir, are you tired of your life? Defendant—Not at all, my Lcrd. I am only just commencing life. The Loan MAYOR.-- How can you account for this foolish ex posure of your life? Defendant—l acknowledge it was a piece of folly, but I have been in the habit of doing the same thing on the Birmingham railroad, and I never met with any 8,1- oich.snt. PANY. Yesterday the half-yearly meeting of this Company was held at the London Tavern, Ilishopsgate-street, William Shadbolt, Esq., in the Chair. The CHAIRMAN said, that previous to the reading of the Report, he wished to mention a circumstance which he was sure the Proprietary would be as glad to hear as tie was to detail. And it was, that Mr. Entwistle, one of their Directors, had consented to become one of the Directors of the Brighton Railway Company, and there fore had tendered his resignation, though he still conti nued his valuable services in superintending the progress of the works, and would continue to do so until their com pletion, and continue his seat at their board, provided he was requested by the body of the Proprietors ; but having once sent in his resignation, he thought that he could not consistently resume his seat without their approba tion.—(Hear, hear.) A resolution was then put, requesting Mr. Entwistle to resume his seat at the Board. That gentleman having returned thanks, Mr. WILSON, the Deputy-Chairman, read the Report, which after some financial statements, went on to state that a great increase of business was to be anticipated on the completion of the joint station for Greenwich, Croy don, and Brighton, and particularly on the completion of the railway to the latter place. It also recommended the discontinuance of the second class carriages, and a reduction of the shilling- fares to ninepence, and the eightpenny fares to sixpence ; and, in conclusion, it re commended a dividend of four shillings a share. Mr. WILLIAMS, a shareholder, wished to call the at tention of the meeting to a circumstance personally af fecting himself. He was a holder of 160 shares, and at their last general half-yearly meeting, a resolution passed consenting to an issue of 30,000 new shares, which were to be divided amongst the Proprietors, each person hav ing the option of taking as many new shares as he held old ones ; only 23,000,were issued to the Proprietors, and the residue of them were given to strangers. On his applying to Mr. Ackerman, the Secretary, he was told by that gentleman he could not have them, though they were then undisposed of in the office ; but he knew Mr. Ackerman to be a false man.—(Loud cries of " Order, order," and chair.) Mr. WHEELER said there was• the greatest difficulty in getting rid of the shares owing to the unsettled state of the money market, and had it not been for Mr. Acker • man the shares never would have been got rid of, and it was not until application had been made to the share holders they were given to strangers.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. ACKLIR3 i IAN said that a most serious charge had been brought against him, and from the manner it was clone he threw it back with indignation and contempt— (Hear, hear)—and if the meeting did not require it he would not condescend to reply to. it.—(Cries of " Oh, yes, yes.") In doing so he would not detain them many minutes. He had been their tried servant since the formation of the Company, and he felt honoured by their confil,:lice.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted that they would believe hial,wheu hey-sail...that ha. wolild not +- the shuts they were not oasposect 01 until ne - manz-n, o ttf by letter and personally, application to every Share holder, and he was glad to get rid of them to a stranger hear)—whom he met by accident ; he there fore indignantly repelled the charge which had been brought against him.—(Cheers.) Mr. WILSON said that lie was sure that Mr. Williams; laboured under some misapprehension, for if he had ap plied in time he would have had them, and he understood that it was not until two days after the bargain had been made with the gentleman who took such a large num ber of them that Mr. Williams had applied.—(Bear.) A SHAREHOLDER— Oh, Mr. Williams did not app l y for his 160 shares until they were *p e r cent. premium, and he is only vexed that he could not got them on that ac count.—(Laughter.) Mr. BOSANQUET bore testimony to the efficiency, zeal, and diligence with which Mr. Ackerman discharged the duties of his office. A long desultory conversation took place as to the re duction of the fares, from a shilling to ninepence and sixpence, and the second class carriages. Mr. DEPUTY CoRNEY said that there might be a great increase of traffic anticipated if the Government carried into offect the proposed measure, a Bill for which was brought in by Alderman Wood, as regarded steam-boats, which was to limit the number of passengers to the ton nage, and prevent large steamers coming up higher than Greenwich. The Croyd on Railroad Company com plained greatly of the 3d. toll charged them ; but lie hoped, when the Croydon and Brighton Companies would be managed by one Board of Directors, by which there would be a saving of iO,OOO/. a-year, they could, conjointly, afford to pay 4d., which would give a good dividend to the Shareholders.—(Hear hear.) A SHAREHOLDER said he understood that the Com pany Were again before Parliament, and he begged to know for what ? The CHAIRMAN replied, that under the opinion of their legal adviser, they only went - to 'Parliament as a precautionary measure ; they were under very heavy pe nalties to have the works completed at a certain period, and they In ! ple , :pd their contractors, who were both solvent and efficient, under the same penalties, and, he had no doubt but the works would be finished at the time specified—(Hear, hear)—but under all the circum stances it was thought more advisable that they should take protection through Parliament. A resolution having been passed adopting the Report, and declaring a dividend of four shillings a share, and thanks given to the Directors, the meeting separated. THE LONDON AND BLACKWALL RAILWAY.

The Report was then read by the Secretary, but it contained no facts besides those stated by the Chairman: Mr. GOLnsMin said he wished to ask whether one half the sum proposed would not be sufficient? The Chairman had stated a long time ago that 10 per cent, profits would soon be divided amongst the Proprietors. He wished to know why that had not been done. He believed that 80,0001. had been expended in law expenses. Now, much as he had heard of railway extravagance, this certainly did appear to him to be the most profuse ease of expenditure he , had ever heard of. He should like to have this explained before more money was g. anted. And, lastly, could not the Directors wait some time longer for the money ? The state of the mone yy market would no doubt improve, and why should the sh ares e offered at so depreciated a rate ?—( Hear. ) The thrareataat said he certainly had anticipated that some profits would have been divided ere this time. He had hoped the extension line to Fenchurch-street would have been opened in April. He had also, p erhaps, expe c ted more of the steam boat traffic than he had a right to have expected. He believed ihat Ito Director had sold a single share ; and he thought the benefits of the steam-boat traffic would not be developed until the extension. line were completed.

MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE. —A. .most ap palling occurrence took place in the nye Mats.:!'t on Monday, whereby three children lost their livt:.s. About one o'clock the Red Rover coach, from Lud- • low, stopped at the Falcon Inn, Rye Market ; com ing in the opposite direction was a waggon, loaded with lime, and drawn by four horses, belonging ,. to Mr. Parr, of Iverly. A few yards before reaching the coach the horses started into a gallop, and the street being very narrow (under 20 feet, including causeways), they drew the waggon on to the causeway on the near side. There were a number of children, some of whom were dragged into the houses, but three of them, namely, Young, three years of age, son of Mr. Young, Hole in-the-Wall Inn ; Edwards, four years of age, daughter of Mr. Edwards, glass-dealer, High-street ; and Jones, 10 years of age, daughter of Mr. Jones, of Iverley, were knocked down and crushed in a most awful manner. The shrieks of those who witnessed the appalling occurrence were dreadful to hear. The boy Young was taken up quite dead, his head being literally smashed (the brains were gathered from the hags and placed in a plate), and the head was nearly severed from the body, The younger girl was crushed in the lower part of the body, the intestines protruding, and the lower limbs b ro ken ; she died in about an hour after the accident. The elder girl survived about two hours, when death mercifully put an end to her sufferings. The lower part of her body was torn in a most awful manner, the pelvis, thigh and leg bones broken, and the skin and flesh lacerated in a manlier almost incredible.. The mother of the child Edwards has only henu confined a week ; it was a most, heart-rending sight to see the parents of the others in their grief. Jones was perfectly sensible, and requested her parents to take her home, where she should be better ; she clung around their necks with child -like fondness till death put an end to her suffer ings: The inquest on the bodies of these unfortunate in ' accents will be given in our next.— Worcester Chronicle. PRICE 5d Ylttl Tof the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS HE THIS DAY. CHRONICLE.—The first and greatest object of the Tories, when once possessed of official power, will be that of entrench ' :ng themselves therein so as to defy public opinion in its efforts for their expu!sion. For this purpose, the scheme of creating huge mass of recles'astieal patronage in the colonies, and senderirg the exercise of that patronage independent of the Crown and its Constitutional advisers, is not badly constructed. Che appointment of well-salaried bishops and clergy, with shich the Ministry for the time being should have nothing to 10, would be an awkward difficulty for any future Whig Go vernment to contend with. The plan is not less impudent for affecting to re gar d t h e endowments of thirteen new bishopricv as h possible creations of voluntary contribution. Nor, were they actually to be so, would it materially signify. Suppose any clique were to subscribe for the salaries of Governors if Canada., of Jamaica. of India; or of any new colonies to be settled or acquired. The argument from such contributions to .he alienation of the appointments from the Crown, would not be more incompatible with the rights of the Sovereign and the interests of the nation than a similar alienation as to the thir teen new bishopric;. Let the spiritual functions of a Bishop be what they may, as the Bishop of a province or district he is a e eisature of the State. To render him independent of its euthorities, is to subject the State to any faction which may bid highest for episcopal favour. Toryism speculates upon purchasing the spoils 9f office by transferring a portion of the ererogative of the :Sovereign. held for the people, to an Eccle siastical Corporation ; and thus forming a power too strong for both Sovereign and people. The plan is also an intima tion to Sir Robert Peel how little he is trusted. Just on the supposed eve of his becoming Premier, it is disco vered that the religious enfranchisement of Dissenters and Catholics has " tended to disqualify the Ministers of State for the office of ecclesiastical advisers of the Crown." And the prelates, we are also informed isy the Times, " adopt throughout a tone which would be inconsistent with the idea of their consenting to surrender (the new ecclesiastical patronage) into the hands of men who may, possibly, be dis senters from the Church, or may be actuated by merely poli tical and secular motives in their use of Church patronage " But is Sir Robert Peel a Dissenter? Are any of the Mem bers of his Cabinet likely to be Dissenters? 1\o; but the high Church and Tory party will not trust him. They declare so beforehand. He must give them security for his good be haviour ; the security of being tied hand and foot, and of trans mitting his bonds to whatever successors the nation may hereafter raise to office. It is not power for Sir Robert Pejl that will satisfy the faction. but permanent power for Toryism ; pewee independent of the Crown and the people ; the power of eigoSey and exclusion, of monopoly ecclesiastical and political, of plunder and oppression, in secula secusorum. TIMES.—The Scotch returns, if not answering our expec tations in every iota, . .have certainly occasioned us no material disappointment. North of the Tweed, there are various cir cumstances, as we have often mentioned before, which render the steady progress of Conservative principles less rapid and :ess active than in other parts of the kingdom. Overlooking the historical fact that the very restricted franchise prevalent in Scotland previous to the lieform Bill was entirely attri butable to the Whig party, who, when passing the act of union, adjusted the Scotce representative system to their own nar row views, a large proportion of the new constituencies in that quarter, otherwise favourable to the established insti tutions of the country, were no sooner invested with electoral privileges, than they attached themselves zeal msly and indiscriminately to the movement faction as s li s S which in their opinion had given them a po litical e a estence. Perhaps the infirmity which generates vindictive ness e s+ . der a sense of supposed injury may also have stimulated them to a course of determined resentment against the Tories, whose rcluctioce to try the experiment of a revolu tion (such was the phrase which Lord John Russell himself applied to the Reform Bill) was uncandidly interpreted as a proof of their hostility to popular rights. On the other hand, viewing the Whigs rather as the parents and guardians of their new-born privileges than as the mere instruments of bringing forth a great national gestation, which, being matured by a Constitutional neecssity, could neither be accelerated nor retarded by any poliCee.al party whatever, the feeling of filial attachment thus created (similar in intelligence to that of ducklings hatched by a lien) was Considerably strengtened by the vulgar pride and conceit which hay: latterly stink the in ferior portion of the middle classesin Scotlanc:.P.lmost to apar with the swaggering braggadocio of the United Staves. Piquing themselves upon that superior e d uca ti on an d intellige:.' ce which used formerly to boast that no English dramatic actoi could establish his fame until he had passed the ordeal of an Edit, - burgh audience (we involuntarily smile at this ludicrous and contemptible vanity ), a vast numbeieof the Scotch ten-pounders who can possibly conjugate Awmo. have taken it into their tre mendously long heads that they must needs be a century in ad vance of all England and Ireland in point of leeterature and lecberality. Liberalism therefore—not an independent and ra tional preference for enlightened statesmanship, but amereprag matical ambition to be in the Tao of the grand army of politi cal sappers and miners—is considerably more to their mind than the moderate and discriminating politics of sober-minded citizens. Time and insupportable ridicule have doubtless done much to lower their combs and thin their ranks. ADVERTISER.—Reformers of Great Britain, until Tues day next let the registries be the sole object of yonr attention. See that the name of no friend to popular principles of Govern ment, entitled to the franchise, be omitted from the registration, and that no enemy, unduly Claiming the suffrage, usurp that distinctive right which marks the freeman from the slave. The contest just concluded was a contest of parties, not of principles, and the verdict returned by the country may be re ' gat dud as a verdict upon the men rather than upon the mea sures, with which in their extremity they sought to establish a dubious association. If it were a question between the Minis gretted that the defeat of the one could be achieved only by the triumph of the other. This election was a struggle for power, sot for principles, and many voted for the transfer of the helm of the state from the hands at present directing it, without reflecting upon the capacity or qualification of those standing eagerly watchful to clutch it for their own selfish interests. The neat election must, necessarily, be one of a different cha racter. The people must then have some palpable and cer tain good to struggle for, and the men soliciting their suffrages must represent measures on which the popular sentiment has already fixed the seal of its approbation. Prepare. therefore, for the c ntest. Reformers, your next battle will be for your own rights, and not merely for the possession of office by men ambitious of authority. Prepare, therefore, to strike for your freedom. The time of action may arrive sooner even than is anticipated, and he who has a qualification for the franchise, and be not then in a position to exercise it, will deserve to be stigmatised as a voluntary slave, deserving the contempt of every true citizen. the absence of anything in the present state of aff irs to comfort them, the Whig-Radical party try to keep up the spirits of their friends by detailing all the difficulties which the Conservative leaders will have to encounter by and by. These sagacious politicians have already framed a chart f the political wily for the next twelve months, and have laid down a very great abundance of rocks and shoals, upon which the poor Conservatives are sure to make shipwreck of their cause. We should be very unwilling, in the present very sorry plight of our Whig-Radical opponents, to debar them from any comfort of which they may deem it possible to avail themselves, but we really think that for some time, at least, they would do as well to steer clear of prophecy. When we con sider how very plainly they foresaw, about a month ago, that the elections were to be greatly in their favour, and to rebuild, and more than rebuild, all the majority which had been crumbling away from 1835 ; and when we compare this speculation with the fact as it stands now accomplished, it is quite impossible to think that the gift of prophecy is actually among those eminent endow ments to which Whig-Radical - modesty lays claim. They may be great engineers of Reform, though that which they con structed ten years ago has greatly disappointed tlefir own cal culations. They may be very wonderful hands retrench ment, though an increase in our expenditure of two millions three hundred thousand a year, while the revenue has dimi nished by the same amount, is rather an odd way of showing it. They may be very faithful friends of peace, though to carry on even "little wars" in every quarter of the globe is not the most satisfactory evidence of peaceful dispositions. But prophets they certainly are not, as the result of the general election very satisfactorily proves; and, therefore, we think the less they say of what must happen when Sir R. Peel takes the helm, the better for their:own reputation as politicians. HERALD.—If the reformed system of election be worth anything, it must. in some sort represent the opinions of those to whom the electoral power is committed ; and as that system was created and established by themselves, we do not well see how they can fairly complain of its being assumed, that in their sense of political speculation it has been doing so for the last 11 years. Now popular opinion in this year 1841, is expressed by the forcible ejectment of the Whigs in almost every place where the influence of Government, or jobbery, or priestcraft, has not turned the scale the other way. It is no doubt affection for the Whigs that lost Liverpool to their Foreign Secretary—Yorkshire to their Irish Secretary—London almost to their Colonial Secretary—Dublin to their indispensable patron—Leeds to the eternal Joseph, who is, we perceive, now inflicting himself on the East India Company—which scattered in flight ne ar l y as bad as that f _ Iron, Sir De Lacy Evans, and Mr. Wy se, Mr. Whipper-in Stanley, Sir Hussey Vivian, Sir Edwa r d Lytton Bulwer, the great novelist; Mr. George Grote, the equally great political economist; Sergeant Talfourd, renowned in drama; Mr. Gil lon, renowned for his patronage of the Duke of Sussex ; and so many other illustrious personages, that to make out the list would fill our columns to overflowing. If these be proofs of popular affection for the Whigs, we can only say that they marvellously resemble that of the poet who appeals to his ten , der mistress— . Perhaps it was right to dissemble your love, But why did you kick me down stairs?" Kicked down stairs they are at present, and "no mistake." MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS, FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. CHiIONICLE.—We understand that the Conarnitte° o f Spanish bondholders has called a meeting . of its members for Monday next, to consider the following points :- 1. The duty of calling a general meeting of the bo to give thei r o pi n i on upon t h e d ec ree of the 21st Januaryndho 1 last,d e rs and the important document from the office of the Sinking Fund in Madrid. 2. The case of the holders of the Treasury Debentures and Indemnity Bonds. 3 . The right of the holders of Passive Bonds under the law of the 20th February, 1836, and the advertisement of M. Zu biers. and M. Pareja, to claim the conversion of their tostocks into Active Stock, on the same terms as those granted the Interior Passive Debt, by one-sixth part of their bonds annually from 1836. Had this step been take n at the time, the position of the bondholders would have been improved, the dividend offered by the Government on the Ist July wou ld have been received , and the sales o f the church property h a ve extinguished a part of the new Three per Cent. stock for arrears of coupons. POST.—'The immense decline which has taken place in the value of Spanish Bends within the last few days, and the an nouncement, for the fact is unreservedly stated, that something of a juggle with Passive Stock is about to be attempted, are circumstances that have not failed to create fresh alarm in the minds of the Treasury, the Indemnity, and, in short, the Spa nish bondholders genera lly. The Passive Debt was, by the law of 1834, to he converted into Active in certain proportions annually, from May 2, 1836 ; but no conversion was ever ef fected, and, as the the Active Stock, so called, is equally passive with the Passive proper, it would be as great a farce to begin to do it now, while the whole mass of foreign Spanish debt re mains in a hopeless state of suspension, as is that of drawing D.lerred Stock by lottery Once a year in the Puerta del Sol, and making a sham Active of it. The scheme can be intended for no other purpose than that of producing a fresh rig in the market by giving an increased (nominal) value ,to the Passive Bonds, but which can of course ~,- ;i~ EVENING SUN. done only at the expense of the already cruel y uu pre dated Actives. The disgraceful treatment by Spain f , i:e indemnity bondholders, whose securities were is,sued i virtue of a .convention entered into between the British and Sr:v.6,h Governments, and to which the nnmes of two liriti,h Conimis sioners were attached, comprises our own Ministry. The eon rention., referred to was, we believe, conc l u d ed du: ing a former Adminharation, when Lord Aberdeen he'd the office of la. reign lth'uister ; and it has now naturally become a question among tho sufferers whether, upon the return to power f Sir R o b er t Peet and his friends, Government will do an% thing for them. Fro to the recollection we hare of the manner in w hide: the Duke of \Wellington and the Noble Earl 'poke of three claims a few y.e. ars ago, we think there need be no questitm upon the subjeeats Both of them rose in their places in the House of Lords and at once bore testimony to the legi•imate character of the claims, and acknowledged the extent to which the British Government was committed in relation to them. There will be no toleration of perjury on the part of such states confidently assert, th at f rom men these, and wee trust we may the moment of ihe accession of the ConFerlatives, the career of Spanish financial demptioa in this country may be consi dered as at an end. HERALD.—The Foreign Exchanges were flat to-day, with a declining tendency, mire particularly on Hamburg. This heavy aspect of the exehanges at a season of the year when there should be considerable shipments going forward to the Continent, and values drawn against them, is calculated to ex cite some uneasiness, for the quantity of bills offering to day was quite inconsiderable. Counted with this fart, and one of the chief accessory causes of it, it may be observed that the ac counts from the cotton manufacturing districts of Lancashire are far from being so encouraging as there was reason to tiej.e from the increasing roil of the consumption of raw cotton lately noticed from Livepool by the spinning factories. the present depressed slate ot the cotton industry various causes may he alleged, one or two alone quite sun ierit iu themselves singly to account conclusively for much if not the existing depression. In the first place it should be retnei beret' that at the present moment, and for a year past, tlle tensive markets of China have been closed against the CI:IIFUITLZ-- tion of British fabrics; that trade must have been materially interfered with in the Mediterranean by the warlike oi -- )e - rations and long previously agitated state of political affairs on the c •asta of Syria and Egypt; that civil war not long concluded in Spain, with unfriendly and high tted tariffs in Portugal, have substantially contributed to sle pt yss the consumption of British goods in the Peninsula ; that i m ports into Mexico have nearly ceased, excepting so far as a contntband traffic can be carried on, through the operation of a heavy Sand oppressive internal duty in excess of the all but pro hibitory tariff exactions at the port ot entry ; that trade in the Ca h ada i ris but just recovering from the disastrous effects of civil war r that overtrading anti overspeculating in the Austra lian colonic, induced there to a great extent, as (Ist , where, by over banking accommodation, hare ended, as might naturally be expected, in commercial panic, failures, depression of prices, diminution of imports and consumption,; that even in the East Indies the demand for British fabrics /nay have been materially interfered with by Affghan wars and the disturbed state of the country generally ; that finally, and the fact needs no amplification of detail, tie imports of the United States, which in 18.39 arcende4 to 10,092,000 dollars, had decreased in 1840 to 107,141,.500 only, or ore full third less in amount. This extra.rdinari* junction of untoward circumstances in all parts of the would scent to require no addition of misfortune or miscottd4t elsewhere to show why the proper bal ance sheet sec:hi:Mug should chance to be on the wrong side of the ledger. SUN—No failures arose out of the Consul settlement Cl day, and the English Market was rather firmer, the t provement in prices being h per cent. Consols closed at 83;4 for Money, and 891 for Account; Bank Stock was at 170 to 1701 ; the NewThrce-and-a-Half per Cents. brought 966 to ti ; and Exchequer Bills, 14s. to 16s. premium. The Foreign Bonds were flat again. Spanish Actives- at 194- to 191, closing at 196 ; Portuguese New at 29i to 29i ; Mexican at 25i ; and Colombian at 19 to I9A. Shares were a shade better in the middle of the day, et did not close very well. In the Foreign Exchanges there was some heaviness this afternoon. Bills on Paris were not higher than 25f. 62.1 c. to 67-Ic.; on Hamburgh at 13 10 to 101; on Amsterdam et 12 4i to and on Trieste at 9 57 to 58. As the total number of passengers arrived in Canada ddes not necessarily comprise emigrants alone, it may be as well to subjoin the official return received yesterday by the packet, which is as follows OFFICE OF HER MAJESTY'S CHIEF AGENT MR EMIGRANTS IN CANADA.

BUCHANAN, Chief Agent: ChURCH-RATES, SOUTH HACK NEY. A meeting of the paribhioners was held yesterday (Thurs day), to pass the churchwardens' accounts and make a ra t e f or the ensuing year. The meeting w.is held in the vestry. Mr. OFFOR then requested a sight of the church, that tiro vestry might see the reparation, it having been repaired after the fire at Christmas. This was denied by the Rector, the Rev. H. H. Noania, who said—" I have ordered the church to b.: locked up, and rso one shall be admitted." The meeting then adjourned to the schoolrooms, when title notice was read by which the vestry was called to make a rate for the repairs of the church, salary of vestry-clerk, ofganist, &c. The accounts c,f theviate churchwardens having been read, it appeared that nearly 4001. had been received, and only 1701. expended in repairs, including those recently occasioned by the fire, and 2001. upon sdaries, wine, &e. A motion having been made that the churchwardens' ac -1 counts be passed, • - 1 an Act of Parliament, which enacts that the church-rate shill only be made to defray the expenses of repairing the church. That although the expenditure had been sanctioned by the vestry, yet the ayt of a vestry could not legalise payments coa t ary to Act of Parliament. The RECTOR attempted to stop these observations, and one of the church party politely asserted that all the observations were " iiumbug."—( Great clamour.) Mr. OFFOK acknowledged his sense of the gentleman's pa liteness. Air. Offor moved, as an amendment, "That every itein be struck out of the accounts which was not for the re pairs of the church." which was duly seconded ; when The RECTOR. declared that he would not put the amendment. —( Great confusion.) He then put the original motion, and although there was a decided majority against it, he declared the motion carried. A division was then claimed, which, after ntany retusal, he granted; but when it took place, he refusoa i o I .,,.‘rmit either party to be counted, and in the face of a large majority against the motion, he declared that it was carried ; and the vestry clerk then declared that the Chairman's dictum • was l aw ; and i ll , ' only thing that the majority could do was t , ... demand a poll, cvLich was done. At three o'clock, the church party had brought up mesh' ladies, and much of th,:;r strength. At the close of the poll at fire o'clock, the numbt,Ts were—For the rate, 53 persons giving SO votes ; against the rate, 55 persons giving 68 votes. The poll will close at five o'clock to-dsy (Friday). --- The contest in this parish was carried on with considerable activity by both parties yesterday. The supporters of the rate had the advantage of a good supply of catrussers, who were incessant in their calls, entreaties, and sometiwes with some thing more. Where individuals, disposed to vote for the rate, were short of cash, they found no difficulty in borrowing it. Both sides polled an unusually large number of ladies, who took a lively interest in the struggle. At the close of the poll, at five o'clock, the Chairman, the Rev. H. H. Norris, declared the numbers to he—For passing the last year's accounts, 216 i against it, 168. For a rate of 4d., 208; against it, 206. The above figures give the votes ; of individuals, the upposer3 of the rate have a considerable majority. As soon as the Chair man had declared the numbers, Mr. Offer said as they were so equal, and did not agree with the check kept by has friends. be shou'd demand a scrutiny. The Rev- Chairman—l shall deny anything of the sort.-Uproar.) The Rev. Mr. Carlisle (a Dissenting Minister) wished to be informed by their legal ad viser whether or no any ratepayer was not entitled to make such demand? Mr. Pulley—Certainly, I conceive that he has. The Chairman then gave way, and scrutineers on both sides were appointed ; the result to be declared on Monday morning, at ten o'clock. The result of the contest must have surprised both parties. From the disgraceful trick resorted to of de minding, some weeks before the usual time, the Poor's-rate .to Michaelmas (a proceeding for which the parties responsible have yet to settle their account), the opponents of the iev rati:t never calculated on the triumph which they bare ach _ed._ And it is a fact which deserves to be proclaim ed from the country t o that the rate has been carried, not by .e other, the exertions and liberality to the other a Dissenter (a Methodist) w ho, after _P:oT o 's e se votes in a s li ve s in Hackney. party that he would be net:tritl. towards th o f Churchmen, bout.by otlisomveotperoo: ceedings registered his six r ‘ oi the rate.

Many persons have died. Our streets, as you may be aware, hive been the thea tres of some deep, dark, and bloody tragedies ; morals areindeed out of tune.
