BEWLEY, FISHER, AND CO.'S CONCENTRATED ESSENCE OF JAMAICA GINGER. —This Preparation contains, in a highly concentrated state, and without the addition of any more heating stimulant, all the car minative and restorative properties of this useful and grateful aro• matic, separated from the ligneous fibre which constitutes the bulk of the root. As few stomachs are able to bear a sufficient quantity of the powder to produce the desired effect, BEWLEy, FISHER, and CO. conceive this form of exhibition the most convenient, when taken in water, tea, beer, wine, &c. ; or for combination with other medicine, ten drops being equal to eight grains of the powder. It is recommended to persons of Phlegmatic, Gouty, Dyspeptic, and Ner vous habits. Its beneficial effects are quickly diffused throughout the whole system, relieving cramps, spasms, flatulency, pain, and sense of oppressi-n after meals, and restoring the tone of the stomach. Its utility is also manifested as an adjunct to other medi cines, and in correcting the chill which soda and other aerated or mineral waters give the stomach, as well as in adding to their tonic property. In bottles at 2s. 6d. and 45., prepared by BEWLEY, FISHER, and Co., 64, Dame-street, Dublin. Also their Anodyne Lettuce Lozenges, for coughs, colds, asthma, and affections of the chest. Doctor Duncan, of Edinburgh, and other leading members of the profession, have strongly recommended Lactncarium (the iuspis sated juice of the garden Lettuce) as possessing peculiarly soothing and quieting properties in the above complaints, and especially in the troublesome cough attendant on consumption. To increase its efficacy, Bewley, Fisher, and Co. have combined it with hippo and demulcents, and have adopted the form of a lozenge as being the most agreeable mode for its administration.

Prices have been low, sj that holders arc unwilling to sell, and purchasers will have good samgles or none. To-day there was more than the usual amount of business done, but prices were steady. Wheat was 42s to 524; Barley, 22s to B°s. ; and Oats, 2 to 263 per quarter. Beans were from 33 10d to 5s per bushel. Hay, 70s to 80s ; and straw, 38s to 40s per ton. LLANERCHYMEDD, JUNE 13,—The prices of all kind of grain was much the same as last week's quotations. The de mand for oats was brisk. At the butchers' stalls beef sold at from 51 to 6d per lb. ; mutton, 6d to 7 d ; veal, 5d to 6d. Young pigs sold at from 9s to 14e each ; ditto stores, 18s to 28s ; fat ditto, 3%d to 3 3 /d per lb.

RHYL, JUNE I2.—We cannot note any, improvement in any kind of grain. The demand continues dull, and the prices so unremunerating as to retard any increase in the production. There was only a slender attendance, and the trade was a good deal depressed. Prices unchanged. Wheat, 16s per 1681bs. ; barley, 9,6 d per 1471bs ; oats, 5s 6d to 6s per 1051bs. In beans and peas there were no transactions worthy of report.

From October, 1845, to March, 1846, I had my family in Manchester, whilst I was incessant in my attendance at the Eastern Counties Railway, except the time spent in travelling to and from Manchester to visit my family, and arrange the appointment of an agent to conduct any private affairs in Manchester consequent upon my re moval to London, and whose salary I have continued to pay from that time to the present. " The traffic arrangements were so incomplete that I had to organize and re-arrange the whole of that depart ment, and during_the large extent of busint as which fol. 1 ,wcd the anxiety of mind I suffered in consequence .of. the locomotive department proving unequal to the work to be performed, and the inadequat 3 station and siding accommodation, it is impossible for me to convey any idea of as to its intensity; and I can with feelings of honest prile refer to numberless letters I have received from proprietors, thanking me for those exertions and their hopes that I should be amply rewarthd. I ask, then, was it fair towards me that the Committee of Inves tigation, who were cognizant of the great time, labour, and attention I had devoted in- furthering the interests of the company, and that successfully so as far as the traffic department was concerned, not to notice this in their report, when they alluded-to the sum of 2,0001. which had been voted to me by the directors. I did not seek for praise at their hands, but I was entitled to jus tice; and in naming the sum, they ought to have stated that which they well knew, that my labour had been in cessant in behalf of the Eastern Counties proprietors. " Now, as to the mode in which this sum was voted to me, two directors who are examined prove that it was proposed by the chairman, and sanctioned by the direc tors, two of the directors signing a cheque. It appears to have been made out to extensions, because it was to be charged to extension capital; by an accident no minute of the board for this payment appears, but two gentlemen of the highest honour declare to the fact of the directors sanctioning the payment, and thereupon the report, instead of confirming the complaint again:t me to receiving from the board what it was properly the province of the proprietors to bestow, if they thought fit, level at me insinuations by the man ner of describing the gift and classing it with unex plained expenditure, which I cannot refrain from saying exhibits a desire to prejudice and injure me with the propretary. Had the report frankly stated that the board should haverecommended to the proprietors this payment instead of making it, I should have deferred to such an opinion with the remark that I believed my heavy and anxious extra services to the company, far beyond those of any other member of the board, entitled me to extra recompense, and my colleagues having so considered it, when requesting me to withdraw whilst they deliberated upon the subject, and fixing the sum at 2,000 i., I accepted the amount with independence and unhesitatingly, as I felt it my due. It would unquestionably have been more regular to have submitted the propriety of the payment to the shareholders, or sought their sanction to it after it was made. I regret this was not done. Mr. Hudson contemplated extra remuneration being given to me at the meeting of proprietors in February,lB47, when he pointed out the great exertions I sees making to promote the company's interests, and there was no reason why this gift should not have been brought before the meeting in August, 1847. If this had been done it would have been more satisfactory to my feelings, as I feel convinced that at that time the proprietors were satisfied of the almost entire devotion of my time in developing the resources of the line. " As to the 1,0001. premium received by me in Oct., 1846, in respect of 500 Wisbeach and St. Ives shares, I beg to state ,that I received no premium nor sum in this nor any other case bat such as I considered I had a right to receive ; and as an illustration that I would not receive any premium knowingly, feeling it to be wrong, I may menticn, that upon the completion of the pur chase of the Maldon, Witham, and Braintree Railway by this company at lOs. per share premium, that company having a reserve of shares, offered me 351 shares, which I declined, although I could have pocketed the premium without anything further being known about it. I have a document in my possession which will prove this. I have further to state upon this subject that there was no disguise or secresy about the payment. Mr. Hudson's name and my own were inserted in the cheques and banker's book, and the cheques were open to the inspec tidn of the officers of the company, same as other cheques paid by the secretary for Wisbeach and St. Ives shares. Mr. Duncan, the solicitor of the company, carried through the arrangement up to the signing of the cheques; and as he addressed a letter to the board of directors giving particulars of the transaction, I beg to enclose a copy for your information, merely observing that a letter was addressed by Mr. James, the managing clerk of Mr. Duncan, from the office of the latter at Westminster to the secretary of the Wisbeach and St. Ives Company, which is not alluded to in the letter of Mr. Duncan, and to which I beg to call your attention. Mr. Day, of St. Ives, the solicitor of the Wisbeach and St. Ives Company, can furnish you with a copy. As it is a letter which may be quoted against me on account of my name being made use of, I have only to say that it was not by my authority my name was used by Mr. James. Up to that tune Mr. James and myself were unacquainted with each other except by sight. Mr. James supposes that he wrote it by order of Mr. Duncan, and he will confirm what cannot be disputed, that I did not give him any authority nor in fact exchange words with him upon the subject. I repeat that I considered myself entitled to the 1,0001., yet I am at the same time prepared to submit this or any other question that may be in dispute with me to the fair decision of arbitrators, and to abide by their award. _ " There is another subject which I will only briefly refer to, as an inquiry is now taking place by a Com mittee of the House of Commons as to an expenditure by the Size-lane Committee. " This expenditure was incurred in the aim of putting a stop to the progress of the London and York Line, which, if successful, would have been of great import ance to this company. The Board of Trade had re ported in favour of the extension of the Eastern Coun ties Line from Cambridge to York, and I then felt it my duty to support, by the strongest measures, the scheme that was submitted to me for defeating the rival pro ject from London to York. During the vehement Par liamentary struggles of that time I felt that we were fighting almost for the vitality of the company, and al though we were unsuccessful in this case yet we ulti mately prevented the London and York party from ob taming a second line into Cambridge. "111 had been allowed by the late meeting calmly to have addressed them it was my intention to have mentioned that in my opinion an exaggerated statement had been submitted of the sums charged to capital, and that it I had been consulted by the Committee of Investigation and their accountant, I have no doubt I could have sa tisfactorily explained to them that many items charged to capital, and which in the report it is stated ought to be charged to revenue, were rightly charged to capital, I regret that this opportunity was not atnrded me. " With reference to the impression existing generally amongst the proprietors, that since I joined the board we had recklessly engaged in new and additional lines and branches, ar.d that we had originated the increase of expenditure from 2,900,0001. to 9,800,0001., I should also have stated that the only additional lines that had been promoted and contracted for since that period, " all the other existing lines of the company having been previously sanctioned by Parliament or bar gained for,' were the Maldon, Witham, and Brain tree, and the Enfield and Edmonton lines, together fifteen miles of ,raile ay, at a cost of about 300,000/. There has ben a large expenditure for carriages and waggons, sidings, goods warehouses, and increased sta tion accommodation, locomotive and waggon repairing shops, but I speak with confidence, that the increased business upon this line could not have been carried on unless the major part of such expenditure had been g incurred. "I hare made the foregoing statement, not in a spirit of complaint, nor with a view of obtaining friends to put me again forward as a director; for having sold my shares, which will be transferred on the Slat instant, the day on which I understood the new board would be elected, I shall become disqualified on that day, but I make it with a view of laying a fair statement before so important a portion of the proprietors, feeling confident that they will, upon perusal, arrive at the conclusion that I am not the mercenary character which has been repre sented, for the committee will observe that, although I have continued to give my unwearied attention to the company's affairs, I did not ask for any recompense be fore the 2,0001. was voted to me; nor have I since, al though the energies of both body and mind have been up to this time devoted, to the best of my ability, to further the interests of the Eastern Counties Railway Company. " Having given so much time and minute attention to the traffic department, there is no doubt many matters will arise with which I shall be more conversant than a stranger; and I have now only to assure you that I shall cheerfully give every information and aid in my power to the new board of directors, however much my time may be occupied in doing so, unt il al l outstanding or disputed claims aro disposed of. " I am, Gentlemen, yours obediently, (Signed) ' 6 Davin WADDINGTON." Mr. MEEK then proceeded with his comment on the conduct of Mr. Hudson and Mr. Waddington. His answer to Mr. Hudson, who complained that the com mittee did not call him in and examine him upon the affairs of the company, was simply. t h a t they were not appointed to investigate charges against that gentleman; but with regard to Mr. Waddington he had another m answer. In the early sittings of the committee . mittee it was strange to sea the number of confidential interviews Mr. Waddington had with some member s of the committee, and with one in particular.—(Name, name.) It was quite clear that Mr. Waddington w the committee; and this be cou ld tells a nxious to join the meeting, that had not the minority of the co mmittee succeeded in sifting out some of these dark facts, it was the intention of the majority to h ave joined Mr. Waddington, and met the proprietors,withn as chairman.—(oh, a report favourable to that gentleraan's elect's oh! and cries of " Name, name!") O ne member of the committee to whom he particularly referred was Mr. Christie.—(oh, oh.) The Hon. Proprietor then proceeded to discuss the merits of the proposed list of directors, but as the list consisted of names nominated by a friknd of Mr. Waddington, he could not give it his support.

Beans, peas, and oats short supply, and firmly support late rates. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 15.—At our Corn-exchange this morn ing wheat and American flour were in steady request for con sumption, and the better qualities of both realised an advance of Id per bushel and 6 , 1 per barrel. In sack flour no change occurred. Oats and oatmeal were quiet, without variation in value. There was a good demand for barley, beans, and peas, and prices were fully supported. Indian corn met a fair sale, at a decline of Gd per quarter on yellow corn, but in white there was no alteration. EXETER, JUNE 15.—Cattle—The supply of bullocks, al though large, was not equal to that of last week (except fat bullocks), but that of sheep was very large. Fat bullocks sold very freely, at last week's rates ; 9s for the best heifer beef, the price generally being from 8s to 93. Cows and calves wer e scarce, and must be quoted from 8/ to 13/. Barreners were not very plentiful, good fresh ones were worth 6s per score; poorer sorts 4; Gd to 5s Gd. There were not a great many working oxen, one of the best pairs in the market were sold for 25/, deducting " a crown to luck." Steers sold readily at 161 to 201 the pair. About 200 rearing calves were on sale at from 35s to 45s each ; butchers' calves, 54 per lb. Sheep sold at about late rates, a great number being bought for the eastern markets; fat shorn wethers, sd; ditto in their wool, 5 1 / 2 d ; ewes, about 5d ; lamb, 6d per lb ; store hogs, 28s to 35s each. The supply of pigs was small, good size store pigs sold well; Mr. T. Hussey offered nine breeding sows in farrow of a prime breed, the property of Mr. Wippell ; the sale was proceeding when we went to press. They were much admired by the judges of the good points of a pig. Mr. Plucknett also sold a very fine breeding sow, quite equal to either of Mr. Wip pell's, for 41 10s.

The adjourned general meeting of the proprietors of the Eastern Counties Railway for the purpose of elect ing directors, was held ye sterday afternoon at the London Tavern. The meeting, like the former ones, was most numerously attended, and occasionally very noisy. At the opening some confusion took place, upon the question of who should take the chair, one party alternately calling for Mr. Meek and Mr. Cash, while others were vociferous for Mr. Anderson, the deputy-chairman of the company. Ulti mately the latter gentleman took upon himself the duties of the chair, when the previous uproar became more. violent. Mr. HELP demanded to know upon what authority Mr. Anderson took the chair. Mr. MEEK said ho hid been requested to do so by the Committee of Investigation. Mr. CHRISTIE held that the meeting could not be legally constituted unless Mr. Anderson, or some other director, took the chair. It was the intention of Mr. Anderson to resign it at the conclusion of the meeting. Mr. HELP, amidst increased confusion, protested against the legality of the meeting. Shortly afterwards some degree of silence and order was restored, when Mr. MONEY read the advertisement convening the meeting. Mr. ATKINSON then moved the following resolution without inflicting a long speech on the meeting. He held 12,0001. worth of stock in the company, and he proposed the appointment of these gentlemen because he believed they would do their duty manfully and honestly. " That this meeting do approve of the following eight proprietors being elected by the board as new directors, and do request the board to elect them accordingly, and to take all proper steps for the purpose:— Edward Ladd Betts, Esq., Tavistock- square. Thomas Broadbent, Esq., Manchester. Samuel Ellis, Esq., Euston-square. Joseph Glynn, E-q , Westbourne-park. Thomas Jones Margrave, E3q., City-road. James Packe, Esq., Mildenhall. George Reed, Esq., Blackheath Park. John Alexander Thompson Smyth, Esq., Cumberland terrace, Regent's-park." Mr. THOMSON HANKEY, the hanker, seconded the resolution, believing that if the existing confusion of the management of the line were allowed to go on it would prove fatal to the company, and although he did not know the gentlemen proposed personally, he had confidnice in those who had selected them, and was quite willing to sanction their appointment. The resolution having been put, Mr. MEEK rose to support the resolution, but before doing so he would reply to the charges which Mr. Hudson and Mr. Waddington had made in the defences they had published of their past con duct. Some blame had been thrown upon the Committee of Investigation for delaying their vindi cation so long, but in his view this was the only fitting opportunity for entering upon it. The meeting was familiar, of course, of the past proceedings of the committee. They had investigated and reported upon the affairs of the company ; and, not w ith s tandirg what had been published by the two gentlemen already named, they still had nothing to retract. They had recalled the w i tne sses whom they had examin e d i n t h e fi rs t instance, but they found that their evidence, upon which the report was founded, and which had been made known to the share holders was correct in every respect. Mr. Hudson had complained in the House of Commons that the commit tee had refused to let him see a particular document, in his own handwriting, tending to prove that he bad altered the accounts, unless he consen t e d to ask no questions upon it. Now, the fact was, that the ac counts and documents were freely submitted, and copies supplied to him ; but the reason ho was not allowed to ask a question was simply that Mr. Hudson was at tended by an attorney, while the committee who waited upon him were not. Mr. Hudson in the same place had denied the accusation that he had altered the accounts, or that the alterations in the document alluded to by the committee in the report were in his handwriting. W h a - , however, was the real truth? Why, simply that Mr. Waddington the late deputy chairman, and Mr. auks, the accountant of the company, positively declared that the alterations in the accounts for the half year ending July, 1816, were its Mr. Hudson's handwriting, while just previous to the half-yearly meeting of 1848, Mr. Muzley, the manager, took the half-yearly accounts to Albert gate, when Mr. Hudson directed him to deduct, there and then, 10,000/. from the half-year's expendi ture, and ad.l 10,934/. to the receipts.—(Shame, shame.) The first deduction was made by IsTr. Mezley in pencil, in Mr. Hudcon'spresence, and the addition was made by Mr. Hudson, in Mr. Mczlsy's presence.—(Hear, hear.) What, then, became of Mr. Hudson's reiterated denials? —(Hear, hear.) He would not have adverted to these matters had Mr. Waddington and Mr. Hudson not thought fit to attack the committee in the manner they had done.—(Hear, heat.) A letter which Mr. Waddington had written to the committee in his own defence was then read, as follows: " TO THE COMMITTEE OF SELECTION OF THE EASTERN COUNTIES PROPRIETORS. " Longoa, 30th May, 1849. " Gentlemen,—l avail myself of the opportunity that your assembling together upon a question involving the future management of the Eastern Counties Railway affords me to bring under your notice the position which I occupied at the Eastern Counties Board, and to offer a few explanations upon points which I had not an op pm tunity of doing at the excited meeting of shareholders, on the 10% instant. " In the first place, I am desirous of stating that upon my resigning of the office of deputy-chairman *of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway, I then announced aiall to deputation ° ep ta u l t c a from thee an active part i t n hat ra i i t lw w a a y s n rn ot an m a y ge te a n t ti ; on b a u g t Eastern Counties Directory waiting upon me, I wai h q i u s e t a ) r r and an g em other e t n induced to alt er m y opinion upon the undemanding that I was to be el ec t e d Ch a irman of the Eastern C ou nti es activeßoard. ch air m ma ne Subsequently mh Ia Board, h yo a a (r d md , r. :. a s Bh interview eon a r p m u r r . p u os u e d - son A to sh b e e r e t h t a i miremaa afterwards w A si:d t s h i l s was r i s n e co r w m a e s d na t u b c a a h t 1 the shareholders and the b oar d o f directors ht was confirmed; Mr. B osanquet agree i ng to retire for ad ad invited surprised, and wett immediately to York to acquaint myself with the facts. Mr. Hudson informed me that he understood I was to be his deputy. chairman. I told him that I had been invited, and accepted the office of chair man • being pressed, however, to take office, it was 'ulti mately arranged that I should do so with the manage ment of the traffic, as chairman of the traffic committee. " The result has been, having become a member of the board in 1845, that the traffic has in crease d from 114,0001. for the half-year ending July, 1845, t o 400 , 0 00 / . for the half-year ending January, 1849. It is t rue t h ere has been a large additional mileage opened, but looking to the character of the country I hesitate not to say that a more successful development of traffic has not been accomplished in this country, but this has been done by great sacrifices on my part, inasmuch as it involved my removal from Manchester to the vicinity [PRICE SD. Mr. GLYN anti Mr. CHRISTIE briefly supportel the ist. Mr. COLEMIN then rose to propose, as an amendment, a list of names which had been selected by Mr. Meck, as follows : The lion. Eliot Yorke, M.P. fur Cambridgshire. George F. Young, Esq., Limehouse. John Fryer, Esq , Chatteris. James Packe, Fag., Mildenhall. Thomas Naughton, Esq., 32, Fenchuruh. street. Ambrose Moore, Esq., Endsleigh-street. IL E. East, Esq , Maida-vale. Gcorge Meek, Esq., 29, Russell square. Mr. NATHAN seconded the amendment. Mr. PRICE said the Shareholders' Protection Society would not consent to have any one upon the direction who held in the Norfolk Company—nor an engineer in a way likely to be benefited in his trade from his con nexion with the railway in an official capacity. He therefore proposed the following list:— George Meek, Esq., Russell•square. Henry V. East, E,q., Canterbury-villa, Maida-vale. Hon. Eliot Yorke, Esq., M.P. John Fryer, Esq., Chateris. James Packe, Esq., Mildenhall, Suffolk. James Box, Esq., Burton-street, Burton. crescent. Ambrose Moore, Esq., Endsleigh-street,Euston- square. George Frederick Young, E sq ., Limehouse. Mr. Low seconded this list. Mr. HELPS doubted whether their present proceed ings were legal, and in order that the meeting should dispose, of the business in hand in a lawful manner, he proposf'd the following resolution:—" That the four vacanciesin the board which have occurred in due order of rotation be forthwith filled up by the shareholders in manner prescribed by law." The directors had only power to nominate and fill up four vacancies at a time. The CHAIRMAN ruled that the resolution could not be entertained at the present stage of the proceedings. Mr. LAWLEY proposed that Mr. Hawes should be elected a director.—(oh, oh.) Mr. HARRIS had token the opinion of Mr. Lloyd, the counsel, on the question of the legality of their past and present proceedings, and that learned gen tleman had given an opinion corroborating the view of Mr. Helps on the subject. lie thought the proper course to /Dwain was to till up two vacancies which occurred in the direction in February last, and then select six names which should go to the general board to elect in the legal way to the direction. After a few words from Mr. CASH, Mr. HUMPHREY BROWN, M.P., complained of the course Mr. Crsh had pursued, of keeping back all he knew of the Size-lane affair till the matter got iwo a Select Committee of the House of Commons. He had given notice of the three following resolutions ; but so much time having already been taken up, it was not his intention to inflict them on the meeting:— " 1. That the capital account of this company be closed up to the Ist day of July next, and that a committee he appointed (two only bring directors) with power to take the assistance of a competent accountant, to arrange and report the same, with the balance-sheet, at your next general half-yearly meetin, and that in all future state ments of accounts submitted to the proprietors, any in creme in capital be explained in detail. " 2. That a valuation of all the working plant be made by some competent person appoint. d by the same com mittee, assisted by the superintendent of each depart ment, and that such valuation, together with its original coat, be reported to the proprietors at the next general half-yearly meeting. " 3. That a committee be appointed (two of them being direct with authority to employ a c,)mpe tent statistician, and that such committee do report to the next half-yearly general meeting the amount of traffic, in classifications, of the Eastern Counties Rail way proper, as well as on each of its subsidiary lines, stating the amount of tonnage and rate per mile re spectively received on each class, and on each line, as welt as their opinion of the capabilities of tho line for increasing the traffic." Mr. ELLis wished to know if all the gentlemen in Mr. Met k's list were shareholders in this company ? Mr. HONEY Laid, all but one, and that one was Mr. Ambrose Moore.---(0h, oh! and Shame.) Mr. ELLIS—When did Mr. Eliot Yorke become a share holder ? Mr. RONEY—Ycsterc?ay.—(oh, oh!) Mr. ELLls—When did Mr. G. F. Young become a shareholder ? Mr. RONEY—The day before yesterday.—(oh, oh!) Mr. ELus—When did Mr. Naughten become a share holder? Mr. RoNEl—Yesterday.—(Oh, oh!) Mr. MEEK thou rose to address the meeting, but it would not hear him. Mr. Serg2aLt GAZELEE called upon the meeting after these. disclosures nut to have Mr. Meek's list thrust down their throats. After some further discussion, carried on amidst much noise and confusion, Mr. HARRIS proposed that Mr. James Pack° and Mr. Humphrey Brow n, ba elected directors in the room of the directors who retired in February last. No one seconded this resolution, and it fell to the ground. The amendments were then put to the vote, and de clared to be lost by large majorities. The original resolution was next put, and pronounced from the chair to be also lost. A poll was demanded and deferred. Some further discussion took place of a noisy cha racter, after which thanks were voted to the chairman, and the meeting broke up at a late hour. CRICKET.

This match terminated at three o'clock, the University winning by 82 runs. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, June 15. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice EaLE.) POLLETT V. EXLEY. This was an action for libel brought against Mr. Riley, the clerk of the Whitechapel County Court, for a libel contained in a letter written by him to the editor of the County Cowls' Chronicle, and published in that paper. Deleadent pleaded not guilty, and a justification._ . . Mr. O'MiLLEY, with whom Ras Mr. Clark, appeared for plaintiff, and stated that Mr. Pollett was a very poor man, more than fifty years of age, with a large family, who had for some time employed himself in collecting moniee, on which he received commissions. In 1846 he had some transactions with a Mr. Riddiegton, who recovered a small sum of money from him in the Whitechapel County Court. An order was made by the judge of that court, Mr. Sergeant Manning, and the money, which was it. 19s. Bd., not having been raid, the result was the committal of Pollctt to the Clerkeewell ifouse of Correction for five days. On his liberation he published a pamphlet entitled " An Appeal to the Public," with a view to obtain assistance by way of contributions from parties. This pamphlet set forth the treatment which Mr. Pollett had received M the House of Correction, and which he represented as very harsh, having, as he said, been treated as a convicted prisoner. Some time after Mr. Riley wrote a letter to the County Courts' Chronicle, in which he spoke of the trust reposed in him by his employer having been wilfully abused by him (Mr. Pollett), which, together with some other expressions which the letter contained, induced plaintiff to bring this action. Mr. Clark, the attorney for plaintiff, Mr. Cocks, the editor of the County Courts' Chronic:e, and Mr. Stt phen son, the attorney of Mr. Riley, were then called to prove the principal facts stated by the Learned Counsel. Mr. WATsom, Q.C., who, with Mr. Mannesty, ap peared for the defence, then addressed the jury, con• tending that none of the statements contained in de fendant's letter to the County Courts' Chronicle were libellous. No witnesses were called [or the defence. Mr. Justice ERLE then summ3d up. He said that ho :bought the last letter clearly came within the defini tion of a libel, and therefore the only question would be :be amount of damages. The jury returned a verdict for plaintiff, damages 20s, WHITEHALL, JUNE 6, 1849.—The Queen has been pleased to grant unto Sir Charles Rushout Cockerel!, of Sezincot, in the county of Gloucester, Bart., only sen and heir of Sir Ch ar l es C oc k ere l !, of S ez i ncot a f oresa id, Bart., deceas e d, some time representative in Parliament for Evesham, in the county of Worcester, by Harriet his wife, second daughter of John Rushout, first Baron Northwick, also deceased, her royal licens4 and autho rity that ho and his issue may, in compliance with a clause contained in a codicil to the last will and testa : meat of his maternal aunt, the llonou rablo Anne Rush out, formerly of Northwick P ark, in the county of Worcester, and late of %Vanstead Grove, in the use the of Essex, spinster, deceased , tak e and henceforth it and surname of Rushout, instead of t hat of Cockere ; bear the arms of Rushout, nr quarterly first terl) iduly exemplified withhis and the r own family arms; suc h m according to the laws ef arms, and recorded in the Herald's Office, wherwise the said royal license and per mission to be void and of none effect.

THE LATE QUEEN CAROLINE.—The work an nounced under the title of " Adventures of a Greek 1 1 Lady" is the production, we understand, of a Greek lady 1 of noble birth, a native of the island of Scio, who was received into the household of the late Queen Caroline, in the character of an adopted daughter, and who re mained with her during the greater portion of that pe riod embraced in the celebrated trial before the louse of Lords. The work, we understand, takes the form of an autobiography, and contains many new and highly inte resting personal details relative to the private life and habits of the Queen, during her travels and adventures in various countries, previous to her fatal return to Eng land, to claim a throne, but to compass a pi etnature grave. As the fair Schte can have none of the preju dices or predilections of an Englishwoman, her evidence may claim to be received with more credit than almost any that has yet been offered on this strangely. exciting topic.—Court Journal. __- ~~-~ SPORTING INT EN EVERLEY . , HULL, AND R , jl r' RAC Tn lIRSD A y.

God on earth! and God in heaven! God! who gave one day in seven Unto man, that he might rest Wish thy mercy in his breast; God of Goodness! I am kneeling, In my spirit's deep revealing Fervently to give thee praise, For the peace of Sabbath days. Glad and tranquil thou hast made This soft hour of twilight shade, And I atle thee, in th;might, To be " watchman of my night!" Let me thank thee, let me own At the footsto o l o f thy throne All my grateful joy and love, Drawn from hopes that point above; Let me lay my heart before thee, And with holy trust implore thee To forgive its human blot, Gathered in its human lot. Listen, Father ! to my singing, Like a child to thee l'am clinging; If I wander, guide me right, Be thou "watchman of my night!" Let me ask the 3 ere I sleep, To remember those who weep, Those who moan with some wild sorrow That shall dread to meet the morrow; Let me ask thee to abide At the fainting sick one's side, Where the plaints of anguish rise In smothered groans and weary sighs; Give them strength to brook and bear Trial pain, and trial care; Let them see thy saving light, Be thou " watchman of their night!" God of all! thou knowest well, Myriads of thy children dwfll I li n e t r i e le a m mo id n r g ig u h s t lo o n f e th a e nd mi b n l a i l nd, Well thou knowest how they need Words to teach and hand to lead, We!l thou kr.owcst that they sin Fur the want of light within, They grope and fall, and men refuse To raise them up and " bind the bruise;" But though, oh God! in judgment's might, Be thou " watchman of their night !" God of mercy! God of grace! Keep me worthy of my place. Let my harpstrings no'er be hum d When they jar with thy plain word; Should the world's fair pitfall take me, Father! do not thou forsake me; Let repentance cleanse the stain. And cal me back to truth again! Father! Infinite and Just! Shine upon my path of dust, Lead me in the noontide light, p, And b 3 thou " watchman of rry night. ELIZA COOK.
