OLD COURT. LIE " SATIRIST" EIVSPAPt• R.—Martin lianFel, respectable looking yoitiqg man, described as an attorney, and who was the proprietor and editor of the Satirist, surrendeied to take his trial on the charge of harbouring a female named Small Mille, who had endeavoured to extort 101. from Mr. Bevan, a gentleman of property, re at No. 4, Hamilton-place, Piccadilly, and at 11-tnahurgh House, Twickenham, she having thereby Committed felony. Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Iluddlestote appeared for the Prosecution, which was instituted by Mr. Bevan; and Mr. Parry and Mr. Thompson for the prisoner. The facts, as stated by Mr. BALLANTINE, Rill, DO doubt, be fresh in the recollection of our readers. Some time ago Mr. Bevan received several letters from the woman Mills, who is undergoing six months' imprison ment with hard labour, fur her part of the transaction, I :lernatic,in g money with menaces. She threatened, un less he complied with her r,qtritst, to apply to Mrs. Bevan, and to xpose trim in a " Satirical" paper, hint ing that his visits to two married ladies at Hanover- gate and Westbourne Park were well known to her. Mr. Bevan refused to comply with her threats ; and at length she Went further, and wrote to Mr. Bevan, t say, as he had treated her letters with contempt, she would b-r glad to know if he would like to stand in the position of a defendant to en action for trim. can., and saying that she should publish his amours in the Satirist, and send copies to Mr s . B evan , hi s par t ners (erroneously 13 , .lieving that was a partner in the banking-house of Barclay, Bevan,dth eras p and Co.), and to his private friends. At time several invidious notices to correspon • oint(dly alluding to " Old B--, the rich banker," appeared in the Satirist. Feeling much annoyed at these matters, his solid:ors, Messrs. Finmore and Co., opened communications with Miss Mills and the prisoner, with the view, as it was admitted by Mr. l'inmora in his examination, to suppress the threatened Publication, and to obtain possession of the documents, for which, he also admitted, money would most likely have been paid by his client. It was alleged that the prisoner and Miss Mills were acting in conjunction. (The case had not concluded when we went to press.) IVE W COURT. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT,) BRUTAL ASSAULT .- William Cox and James Pinegar, two labourers, were indicted for committing a brutal as sault upon Alexander Scott, a policeman, whilst in the execution of his duty. It appeared that about half-past twelve o'clock on the morning of the 26th of May, the prisoners, who are both strong and muscular-looking men, were engaged in some kind of brawl or disturbance with some other men and vvoniest in the neighbourhood of Union-street, Green wich. The policeman, Scott, interfered, and desired them to go home. They refused to comply with the request, and some altercation took place between Scott and the prisoners, which gave rise to a scuffle between them. Whilst pursuing Cox for the purpose of taking him into custody, Vinegar knocked Scott down, and in the Course of their struggle together, bit Scott's fore finger on the right hand, and completely stripped off the flesh from the bone, and afterwards tit his nose corn rat tl ly e, another Plete through. Scott having managed to spring his policeman came up, and found him lying on the ground in an exhausted state, with his face covered with blood. The finger was obliged to be I a mputated, and the injur e d man, though now convales cent, is still in a weak state. The employer of the two men, Mr. Miller, gave them a good character for honesty and sobriety. The jury found them both Guilty. The C OMMON S ERGEANT sa id th e re could be no doubt that this was a very savage assault. If policemen did their duty, which was at all times laborious and dan gerous, they ou g ht to be supported by the public autho rities and by the law, cn all occasions when it was neces tato give them protection Here, in the present case , peaceful inhabitants of the neighbourhood were disturbed i n th e m iddl e o f th e n ight by the rioting of half a doz en people ; the policeman told them to go home quietly ; they refused; he did not draw his staff or even after acY hostile act, which some policemen might have to; Cox pushed him down, and when he ran ter him th e strugg l e commence d. C ox w as only guilty of a common ass au lt, and therefore he should only sen tencet.r the him to six months' imprisonment; but the case of himself other p r i soner was ver y different, for he had proved : elf a doenright brute. Not satisfied with biting the po lo:I li elasn , s finger, which had to be amputated, thus maiming 'unng hies for life; he had also bit through his nose. s entence upon him was, that he be sentenced to 146 , 1 , nonths' imp r i sonmen t i n t he House of Correction. the prisoners were then removed. BOW-STREET. —(THIS DAY.) George Smith, who is deaf and dumb, about 30 Sears of age, was c h arge d before Mr. Henry with being drunk and disorderly, and with assaulting his wife, who is also deaf and dumb. The case occupied the Court some time, from the peculiar condition of the parties, and the examination excited much interest. The sister of the complainant (both young women of superior manners and intelli gence) acted as interpreter; but as it became known that Mr. and Mrs. Smith could both write well, the magistrate communicated with them through the medium of written slips. The prisoner, a man of fine personal appearance, and very respectably dressed, was stated to be of a most violent and dangerous temper when drunk, although when sober be was particularly mild and amiable, earning a great deal of money, and displaying the greatest affec tion for his wife, who also was said to be exceedingly fond of him. She said, however, that his violence was so great in his drunken fits, that she was in danger of her life. Her disability being the same as his own, it Was difficult for her to engage the protection of snY person, or to inform the police; and when Say one int er p ose d between them, his inarticu late noises only made the quarrel the more unintelligible. h. iew day s ago s h e was o bli ge d to flee to her father's ll " in the Adelphi, to escape from the prisoner. 4Lest evening h e f o ll owe 3 her there, and wben his een treaties failed t o p ersua de her to return home, he broke out into a most outrageous fit of violence, breaking the furniture, throwing things out of the window, and making most hideous noises. During examination he manifested great emotion, and was continually appeal ing to his wife, by passionate and strongly expressive gestures to return to him. She was much affected also , af ter seemed r eso l ve d no t to run the risk. At length, ~ter several commun i ca tions in writing between Mr. Il enrY and the parties, in which the prisoner supplicated earnestly for forgiveness, the wife consented to go home upon his promise to abstain from drink. r• HENRY said that the first time he got drunk a nd beat her again, he (Mr. Henry) would send him to _, in t, h prison for three months. need s f .The pristhe oner left the court with his wife and great her ci ellgh most affecti , nate t hu d. he manifested wish the simplicity of a TESTIMONIAL TO THE HUNGARIAN REFUGEES " TaE HUNGARIAN NATION COUNTS ON THE SYMPATHY °P EVERY NATION WHICH LOVES RIGHT AND LI I , l , ERTY .

THE LATE MR HETHERINGTON (FROM • CORRESPONDENT) Among the many victims to the malady ravaging the metropolis at the present time, our obituary con tains the name of Mr. Henry Hetherington, the well known newsvender and publisher, who died in his 57th year, at his residence in Judd-street, Brunswick-square. Mr. Hetherington, from his well-known political opinions, and from his fearless and indomitable spirit in expressing • them during the last twenty years, has rendered his name familiar and r es pe c t e d by a very lar ge portion of the working classes, with whose struggles, and for whose emancipation his sympathies were ever p h r t i s n s t t e r r o n b g y t p r o a l d t t e i , o e a r l ' d t e t e o l n t i r a c y u m bes engage d. tanon, uni "' te e d w w a i s th a ascribed his combat for the freedom of the press, by the publication of his unstamped papers, and his enduring courage sustained through three successive imprison ments, which, after the incarc.ration of 500 other offenders against the stamp laws, ended in the reduction of the stamp duty on newspapers, euld to which may be ascribed very much of the odium which the Whig Government of that time deservedly übtainei. Although, after the reduction of the stamp duty, Mr. Hethering ton, from the stringency of the law, was obliged to de sist from publishing his papers, he never acquiesced in the justice or propriety of that measure, and one of his last public acts was, in connexion with some of his own coadjutors, directed to the formation of a society to repeal the penny stamp, ande emancipate the press from all cunt' ol except a court ot law. He was a ve str)•man of the parish of St. Pancras, in which he resided, and attended and spoke at the . recent meeting at the Princess's Theatre, in favour of Peale meatary Reform. He was present at the more recent meeting at Drury-lane, for the same purpose. He had been poorly for a short time previous, though engaged in his business so late as Tuesday last. He expired on Thursday morning, and will be interred on Sunday at Kensal-green, whither his remains will be conducted, followed, we have no doubt, by many friends who knew, and knowing, loved the sterling qualities of his honest, manly, and benevolent character. The funeral procession will leave Judd-street at two o'clock in the afternoon. The Members' Plate of 501. One mile. Mr. B.

In this view they are the subject in the following words:—' Dr. Sheridan Mus- happy to say they find their opinion in unison with that pratt has published in English my ' Probirkunst mit dem of the great bulk of the shareholders. Behaving it just LOthrohre and, really, with such circumspection and that the proprietors called upon to effect this object profound knowledge of the subject, that I deem it should my be the first to participate in the earnings of the bounden duty to tender him my heartfelt aeknow- line, they have determined to recommend that the tedgments." 121. 10s. half-shares be entitled to a preferential dividend if 5 per cent. out of the working profits. " Your directors would specially guard against the impression that by this mode it is sought to raise addi tional capital. Such is not the case; the authorised capital of the company is amply sufficient to open the whole line to Omagh. The amount of the preference proposed is not such as will, under any circumstances, permanently debar the 25/, shares from fairly partici pating in the earnings of the company; and your di• rectors are fully assured that every length added to the line by this means will give a return not merely upon the capital raised for that purpose. but will add materially to the profits applicable to a dividend upon the 251. shares. " Should this proposition meet your approval, the balance now at credit of the revenue account, will enable it at once to be brought into operation; and your direc tors would recommend that a dividend, at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, be paid on the half-shares, for the half-year ending July 31st, 1849. They would also suggest for your consideration the prudence amid pro pries), of at once setting aside a portion of the remaining profits, as the commencement of a lund to provide against depreciation, and for replacement of plant. "Since the last halt-yearly meeting the line has been personally inspected by a deputation from the board; and your directors are happy in still being enabled to report, that the traffic has been carried on without acci dent or ieterruption; that the general condition of the line is satisfactory, and the regularity and efficiency with which it has been worked is creditable to the officers end servants of the company. "Three of your directors, namely, Philip Banbury, George Tyrrell, and Daniel Warren, Esqs., go out of office by rotation; they are all eligible, and offer them selves for reelection " One of your auditors, William Bloxam, Esq., hav ing resigned, it will be necessary to elect a proprietor in 1 his stead. " Your directors having declared 918 shares forfeited for nun-payment of calls, the confirmation of that for feiture will, at the special meeting, be submitted for your approval. " The 1,364 shares, the forfeiture of which was con• firmed at the half-yearly meeting, have since bi come merged in the company. At the special meeting, your authority to re-issue shares to replace those thus merged, will be required. As circumstances may arise in which such re-issue may be made advantageously to the share holders, your directors feel that it is for the interests of the company that they should be invested with this power.

On the motion of the CHAIRMAN, the report was adopted; after which the retiring directors were re elected, and a second auditor appointed. The meeting was then made special, and resolu tions passed sanctioning the recommendations in the report. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting, which was very unanimous but not nume rous, separated. NEWRY, WARRENPOINT, AND ROSTREVOR RAILWAY. The adjourned seventh ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of this company took place yester day at the company's office in Moorgate-street. At the meeting held on the 3d of the present month the fol lowing report was read : The accounts to the 30:h June last, and balance sheet duly audited, aro submitted to the shareholders ; the 30th June and 31st December have been adopted as the period for balancing the accounts, in accordance with railway and mercantile usage. " Conformably to the intimation given in the last re port, the line from Newry to Warrenpoint was opened on the 28. h May last for passenger traffic, since which the trains have continued to run with pertect safety and regularity, and without the occurrence of the slightest accident. The arrangements necessary for the convey ance of goods have been progressing as expeditiously as possible, and this important portion of the company's traffic has partially commenced. The directors consider that taking into account the extreme depression in trade existing in Ireland, the result of the traffic will be found satisfactory, as exhibiting the elements of ultimate prosperity for the company when the lines in construction to the interior are completed and joined with this line as originally projected. " The directors, with a view of promoting the most advantageous working of the line, especially the goods traffic, hope shortly to be able to submit terms of ar rangement for this purpose to the shareholders for their consideration. " A requisi t i o n signed by a number of shareholders was presented to your directors, to convene a general special meeting to' consider the propriety of appointing a committee of investigation ~te? examine into and report upon the managem ent and affairs of the company, with full powers to call tor all books, papers, persons, accounts, &c., and to take such steps as they may deem advisable, and, if necessary, to a ppoint a public accountant to assist them in making a full, clear, and d e t a il e d report to t h e shareholders at an adjourned meeting to be h e ld at an early period.' " Although no reason was assigned for the appoint ment of the committee, your directors h a d no h es i ta tion in making the present meeting sp ec i a l f or t h e purpose , and they have fixed it nearly a month earlier th a n the ordinary period, thus avoiding the expense of a separate meeting. " The directors will have much pleasure in fully com municating with a committee upon the affairs and present circumstances of the „ company, and t o r ec e i ve their advice and assistanc e. After some discussion a committ ee was appo i n t e d to inquire into the affairs of the company, and the present meeting was held for the purpose of receiving their report. Viscount NEWRY took the chair at one o'clock, when a report was put in by Mr. Cochrane, one of the committee of investigation, which was signed by himself and Mr. Shand, another member of the coin mittee of investigat ion, but not by Mr. B urge , the other member of the committee. The report was read by the Secretary ; it com mented in rather severe terms upon the directors, and also upon the accounts, and suggested that the direc tors should be remov ed to Liverpool. At the conclu sion of the reading of the report, Mr. BURGE, as one of the committee of investiga tion, felt bound to make a few observations. He did not concur in the report, and had refused to sign it, because, after examining the books of the company, THURSDAY.

Sin t —May I, as an act of justice, beg the favour of your inserting this letter in reply to an article that appears in the Sunday Times of the week, entitled " The Laud we Live In," which contains a statement forwarded by a "Commercial Traveller," respecting the charges, &c., at an hotel at Leeds, Is hich from circumstances I know re fers to the "Scarborough Hotel." I was staying iu the commercial-room at the " Scarborough" on the day in question, dining, &c., with the commercial mea, and on discharging my bill I found the charges were according to the excellent accommodation and the genuine quality of everything provided by Mr. Fleischman, decidedly lair, and not a whit above the charges made at hotels of the same class, and a remark to this effect on my part to gentlemen then staying there was fully acquiesced in. As to the charge for servants, it is a practice that will always exist with commercial men, as the amount corn rlained of, viz., ls. 6d. per day is invariably given, both in such hotels as the " Scarborough " and also those of a second class. lam inclined to think that in this in stance the tide of a " commercial man" has been bur rowed, or else this is his maiden journey; if so, I fear he will be much chagrined on his route if he intends to cavil with hotel bills, for it is clear from this first fracas" that the informant of the Sunday Times has not yet bad sufficient experience on " the road" to dis cover when be is " well housed." I am, Sir, your obliged servant, A YEARLY SUBSCRIBER.

LONDON, SATURDA Y EVENING? AUGUST' 25, NA he felt himself compelled to acknowledge that he could not find anything to complain of. He had been connected with many companies, and he must confess that he should have been glad to see such a clennme4 of accounts with respect to them as had taken place with respect to this company. He thought that the report was rather an uncharitable one, and he considered that the only reacon for their being in arrear was the disputes about the registry. He thought the removal of the directory to Liverpool would be most improper, and more injurious than otherwise. He had never examined a more Batista° tory account, or seen business better conducted than had been done by this company. Mr. COCHRANE then moved that the report should be received, printed, and circulated among the pro- prietors Mr. BuRGE said that if the report was to be printed he hoped it would be understood that he objected to it, and refused to sign it. The CHAIRMAN trusted, if the meeting agreed to the printing of the report, they would also consent to the appending to it the explanations draw n up upon it by the directors. If such a course was adopted there could be no objection to the report which had been presented by Mr. Cochrane being received. Mr. COCHRANE had not the slightest oljection to such a course being pursued. Mr. LEA could nut see that there had been any occasion for a commit:ee at all. He was proud to see that the directors had come out of the investiga tion with such flying colours. He did not see why they s.ould put the company to the expense of print ing the report. He would move as an amendment, that the report should lie on the table. Lord NEWRY observed that the directors had been always anxious and willing that every inquiry should take place, and he could only express his surprise that the report of Mr. Cochrane contained so little that was worthy of being made known to the world. He thought, however, if the report that had been read was to be printed and cir culated, the observations made upon it by the direc tors should be also laid before the meeting. Mr. COCHRANE could have no objection to the adoption of such a course. The SECRETARY then read the observations of the directors upon the report of the two members of the committee of investigation. It justified the course pur sued by the directors, and deprecated having the Board at Liverpool. It was then moved that the report and the answer to it by the directors should be printed and circulated among the proprietors. Mr. OMMANEY thought, after what had taken place, the company ought not to be put to the expense of printing these documents. Lord NEWRY said that the directors were most willing- to have both documents printed, but he thought, considering that several gentlemen of the press were present, it would be a useless expense. (We would gladly have inserted them could we have obtained a copy of them from the secretary.) Mr. LOMBARD thought that the report of Mr. Cochrane contained charges against the directors which they were totally undeserving of. The report of Mr. Cochrane and Mr. Shand were then received. Mr. LEA then moved, and Mr. ObIMANEY se conded, the following resolution : " That from the satisfactory mode in which the affairs of the company had been conducted it was not desirable to print the report or the reply of the directors thereto." This resolution was lost in consequence of the number of proxies put in by Mr. Cochrane, the result of which was that the report of Mr. Cochrane and Mr. Shand was ordered to be printed and circulated among the proprietors, together with the observations of the shareholders in reference to it. The directors' report of the 3d of August, toge ther with the following resolution, was agreed to: — "Resolved, that the forfeiture of 270 shares, num bered 360 to 375, 3,771 to 3,775, 3,796 to 3,800, 831 to 835, and 4,751 to 4,990 be confirmed by this meet ing, in consequence of the arrear of calls thereon not having been paid." A vote of thanks was then carried to the Noble Chairman and directors, after a vain attempt on the part of Mr. Cochrane to oppose it, and the meeting separated. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUV Sir,—Permit me to correct a slight error contained in your insertion of my letter upon the subject of Mr. Bingham's recent decision, in the case of the Countess of Landsfeldt—trivial in itself, but in the sense con veyed, exactly opposing its accompinyirg protest; thus, in the words " upon an advance of the testi mony, &c.," it should be "' no' testimony favouring a suit, &c." Apologising for thus troubling you, and fully coin ciding in the extended remarks expressed by you, I beg to remain, Sir, Your most obedient servant, LOUIS A. SEATON. Leicester, Aug. 22, 1849.

POLICE IN TELLIGENCE. - - MANSION-HOUSE. John Walters, a journeyman baker, was brought be fore the Lord Mayor, in the custody of John Forrester,. upon the charge of having forged and uttered a cheque purporting to be an order tigned by Mr. Da Silva, of Bride-Lene, for 1571. 10s. Mr. Mullens, of the firm of Bash and Mullens, solici tors to the Committee of Bankers for Protection agAinst Forgeries and Frauds, attended for the prosecution. Mr. Mullens called witnesses, whodeposed as follows : Mr. W. Siik, clerk to Messrs. 13<erclay and Co„ of Lombard-street, bankers, said, on Thursday, the I6th instant, a ,cht clue for 1571. 10.5, with the name of Da Silva, and address No. 1, Bride-lane attached, was pre sented to me ut the counter. Mr. Da Silva keeps an account at the house. I did not pay the cheque, having detected it was a forgery. Joseph Hunter, of 15, Broad-street-mews, said—l act as a porter, and stand for employment in that capacity at the botwm of Bartholomew-lane. On Thurday, as 1 was standing in my usual position, a person came up, and placing before me the cheque produced, asked me whe ther I could tell him where the banking-house mentioned in it was? I at once directed him to Lombard street, arid told him he would reach the banking-house in five mi nutes. Ile said, " Oh, perhaps you can get the money for me;" and he gave me the cheque, and told me to get three fifties and a five, and to bring it to him at the Guildhall Coffee-house. I asked him what name I should inquire for at - the Guildhall Coffeehouse, and he replied for " Mr. Sewell." I accordingly took the cheque to the banking-house, and was stopped there. Mr. Mullens—How was the man who employed you dressed? Witness—ln every respect like a gentleman. Mr. Mullens—Have you seen any clothes which were found in the prisoner's lodgings ? The prisoner here interposed and raid, "I object to his seeing the clothes which may have been found in my lodgings." Mr. Mullens—Did you particularly notice his dress ? Witness—l did not; but I think he was dressed in light trousers and a black coat. Mr. Mullens—Do you believe the prisoner to be the man ? Witness—lt appears to me that the prisoner was the man, but I had only a sort of aide view of him, and we parted at once. I afterwards went to the Guildhall Coffee house to inquire for the prisoner, but did not see him there. I heard that he had called. The prisoner—At what time did this take place ? Witness—About twenty minutes or half-past three o'clock, as near as I can guess. The prisoner—l ask him the question, my Lord, be cause I can account for the whole and every part of the time I was occupied on that day. J. W. Thornton, waiter at the Guildhall Coffee house, said, in the afternoon of the 16th instant, prisoner came to the bar and asked for Mr. Sev‘ell. I said Mr. Sewell was not there. He then said that his name was Sewell, and that he expected a porter from the Bank with some money. He then described the porter, and I said I knew him for he was the clerk at the church in St. Lawrence Jewry. He told me, as he was going out of doors, to give the porter ss. when he brought the money, and be then went away. He never returned to the Guildhall Coffee-house. The prisoner is the man. ' I have not the least doubt of it. The prisoner—What was the time ? Witness — About half-past three or a quarter to four o'clock. He said, too, he had better go back to see whether the porter was coming from the banking-house. or he should not be able to put his account in his bankers' hands. I again saw the prisoner yesterday in Whitechapel-road, and gave him into custody. Mr. Mullens—How was the prisoner dressed? Wit ness—ln a black frock coat, black waistcoat, and light trousers. Mr. Thomas Smith, clerk to Messrs. Barclay and Co.. bankers, Lombard-street, said, that on the 16th inst. a person presented an order purporting to be signed by " Mr. DaSilva," for a cheque book, and he replied that a . cheque-book had been given tt, that gentleman a few days previously. Mr. James King, clerk to Mr. Johnson Da Silva, of - - Bride-lane , said (looking at the cheque and the order for the check-book), these documents are not in the hand writing of Mr. Da Silva. The writing is something like his. 1 know the prisoner. He was formerly in that gentleman's service. lam acquainted with his hand writing, and I believe both papers to be in his hand writing. John Forrester said, that he and his brother Daniel took the prisoner into custody in the Whitechapel-road. Upon searching the prisoner's room they found two dark truck-coats, which appeared to be very old and shabby, and a pair of light•culoured trousers. The prisoner—Are not those very like the clothes of a gentleman, my Lord ? One of the witnesses said the person who employed him to change the cheque was dressed in every respects like a gentlemen. I . wish I had the clothes of a gentleman. The LORD MAYOR—Have you any objection to be remanded till Tuesday next ? The prisoner—Not the least. The prisoner was accordingly remanded. The LORD MAYOR stated, that he had received a sove reign enclosed in a note from some humane person, Rho signed his contribution with the letter "Y," and requested that it might be applied to the service of any pour per son who should be attacked with the cholera or other dangerous malady. CLERK' ENWELL. James Newton, an athletic looking man, 36 years of age, of No. 12, Canal-terrace, Maiden-lane, a labourer, was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged in the police-sheet with causing the death of John Jones, on the works of the Great Northern Railway at Isling • ton, by recklessly causing two horses and two trucks to be driven on a bridge which was insecure, atter notice to that effect. George Anderson deposed that be was in the employ of Mr. Jay, the contractor, of Macclesfield-street, City road Basin, and the prisoner was foreman to Mr. Gray son, of the East India Dock line, which crosses the Great Northern Railway from Camden district to Black.. wall, over the East India Dock-. At eight o'clock yes terday morning witness was on his master's duty, taking care of the engines and other property underneath the dock line, where a bridge, used to be passed over by the earth-trucks to a tip where the earth was emptied, was insecure, and under repair. An order was given that nothing should pass over the bridge, which had been used all day on Thursday. There was a suspicion that the bridge was unsafe, and nothing was allowed to pasa over it. Mr. Mallett (the clerk)—What caused the apprehen sion as to the bridge being unsafe ? Witless—The foreman of the carpenters gave some information, and they commenced repairs. saw the prisoner, and the driver of two trucks; the first drawn by two horses. The trucks were heavily laden with earth. Witness had received instructions to prevent them coming over the bridge, and he called to the driver to stop, but he did not do so. The prisoner called out to the driver. " Go on you —, don't mind;" and when the horses and trucks arrived on the-centre of the bridges the beams and props gave way, and both horses and trneka fell in with the bridge, and a beam fell against the de ceased, John Jones, who was killed upon the spot. One of the horses was also killed, and the workmen narrowly escaped with their lives. By Mr. Tvawnilv—Was sure that the prisoner heard him call out to atop, and caution him as to the dan ger. The deceased was a driver in the employment of Mr. Jay. After the accident the prisoner was questioned, when he said he did not hear any one speak to him. Witness continued—The driver of the trucks said that the prisoner swore at him, and told him to go cn, and is the presence of the prisoner he said " Jim, you know you swore at me, and told me to go on." It was the duty of the driver to pay attention to the directions of the prisoner. The prisoner could see witness where Le stood—there was nothing to prevent him hearing him give the caution. A doctor was immediately sent for, but Jones was quiet dead. Mr. Bugbird, manager to Mr. Jay's works, was present, who said to the prisoner, " You know you were told by my man not to go over the bridge." The prisoner said, " I never heard any body call out at all." Witness saw nothing wrong in the conduct of the driver of the trucks, who had a must nar row escape with his life. No one thought of giving Mot in charge. Mr. Bugbird deposed that he was manager to Mr. Jay's works on the Great Northern Railway, Islington, and he confirmed the testimony of the last witnes h s. to p ail questions to the witness?

The business of the Crown Court concluded at abou eight o'clock last evening, with the Liverpool murder case. CIVIL COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WICIIVIAN and a Special Jury.) NEWCASTLE UNION JOINT-STOCK BANK V. EARL TALBOT. This was an action on two bills of exchange, fa 4,018/. los., drawn on sad accepted by the d e fendant. The defendant pleaded several pleas , whi ch the resu lt makes it useless to specify. The Attorney-General, Mr. Knowles, W. r Marti atson, and and Mr. Unthank were for the plaintiff; M . Mr. Robinson for the defendant. It appeared that a 11r. Edwards and others had agreed to purchase a large estate i n Belgium, called Chiny, somewhere between Ghent and the French frontier, and had to pay a large deposit, and, as in many other specu lations, the money was not ready. The noble defen dant, then Lord Ingestre, being in his youth, and younger son of the late arl Talbot, and naturally of an active disposition, had been in the navy, but on the premature death of his elder brother, who was unfortu nately drowned, he was taken from that profession. activity then led him to join in various enterprises, and among others he got into the Chiny estate speculation, end it was ultimately arranged that he should hive one-fourth of it. Still ready money was scarce, and certain hills which had been negotiated with the plaiatiffs becoming due, and part of them dishonoured, Edwards drew, and Lord Ingestre accepted, the two bills on which the action was founded, and they were handed by Ed• wards to the bank, who, it was said for the plaintiff, had actually advanced on the bills which these were to re place 4,000 k, and the bank received those substituted bills without any other condition than that they were to supply the place of 8,000/. which they already held. Mr. MARTIN, on the other hand, fur the defendant, contended that Lord Talbot was under no obligation either in law or honour as to the bill held by the bank. Edwards represented to him that he had made a valuable purchase, and led him to take a quarter share, and Ed wards himself was to have another quarter. Its as un derstood that Lord Talbot would have top about 16,C001. for his share, and be had already had to pay . I upwards of 57,0001. It was Edwards who had t. o an p_ro to vide for the eight bills, and be got dthtteakdinieg t o save a accept the two bills in question, he u the defendant harmless. Edward s seiaettthotsbeeyt oerebiltlos to the bunk on the express c o ndit ion that give up the eight bills. This cundition the f the bank de clined to accept , but having g ot hold o defe dant's two acceptances refused to return the m. This was in Ap ril, 1845, As Edwards had entered into n ex p ress undertaking not to part with the two b a l -s,except on the condition of taking up the eight bills, he filed a bill in Chancery to compel the back to give up either one or the other. To this no a nswer was filed, but in December an arrangement was made between Edwards and the bank, in fraud, as it was alleged, of the defendant, by which the bank were to give Edwards up the eight bills, pay the costs of the suit in Chancery, and give him 3001. This agreement, it was contended for the defendant, did not render him liable on the two bills. Up to that time the plaintiffs held them wrongfully, they had long before become due, and as Edwards, in consequence of his guarantee, could not sue the defendant on them, the bank could, by an agreement with Edwards after they became due, acquire no better title than be 1-ad himself: The ATTORNEY- GENERAL—On the former trial we did not show the condition performed, which was to give up the eight bills ; now we have shown that we have FRANCE. The Republique publishes the following letter, dated London, Aug. 21, addressed by M. Ledru Rollin to the Journal des Debuts : " Monsieur le Iteducteur,—l call upon you to contra dict the infamous c iluinny which you have extracted from a departmental j,urnal, the Charente Inferieure. You say that I was in intimate relation with a liberated convict at Saintes, who pointed out to me such citizens as had amassed a certain fortune by their labour, in order that they might be despoiled of it. I really cannot conceive that political hatred and baseness can go beyond this." The Opinione Publigue says—"M.Louis Napoleon Bonaparte has been longer and snore seriously indis posed than has been stated. The illness which at tacked him at Rouen, and which had the leading symptoms of cholerine, continued after his return to Paris, and obliged him to keep his bed, where he still continued when the journals announced his perfect recovery. It is but very recently that these symptoms have com pletely disappeared. M. Louis Bonaparte went on Monday to take up his residence in the Palace at St. Cloud, which has been placed at his disposal by the Minister of Public Works, the decree of the Consti tuent Assembly having assigned no other residence than the Palace of the Ely see for the accommodation of the President." AUSTRIA. A Vienna letter of the 18th, addressed to the Emancipation of Brussels, says that intelligence had that day arrived to the effect that all the Hungarian army had capitulated. Another letter mentions that Comorn had evacuated. The evacuation of Raab by the Magyars is confirmed, and they had retired to wards the Waag. The Magyars had also been driven from Neutra and Neuhaeusel. The Vienna journals of the 18th are full of details on the submission of General Georgey, and the correspondent of the Independance of Brussels thus resumes them :—" According to some jour nals, Georgey was invested with the dictatorship, but whether by Kossuth or the Diet is not stated, and he laid down his arms after having sent orders to yield, not only to the commanders of the different corps, but also to the commanders of the fortresses still occupied by the insurgents. It is added that, according to a letter from Semlin, Dem binski has laid down his arms with 20,000 men. Ac cording to another version, Georgey, seeing that a pro longed resistance would be vain, summoned the other commanders of the Magyar troops and fortresses to yield."—ln a P.S. the correspondent writes :—" I learn . this moment that Count Soltick arrived last evening with dispatches from General Haynau for the Emperor. If my information be correct, Kos suth attempted to enter into negotiation with Marshal Paskewitch, but his overtures were not accepted ; whereupon he made over all his civil and military powers to Georgey. The latter with the advice of his council then informed the Rus sian General Rudiger that he was resolved to yield. No conditions with respect to the submission were sti pulated; the Hungarians having thought that they would obtain more from the generosity of the Emperor by a voluntary sub Mission than in laying down conditions. Russian commissioners had been sent to the camp of Georgey, and they were, it is said, struck at the order which reigned in the company, at the uni forms and accoutrement of the troops, and at their martial bearing. Among the troops in the camp were nine Hungarian regiments who fired their last shot in the air, and then piled up their arms. Count Soltick also announces, it is said, that invitations to yield had been addressed by Georgey to the commanders of the fortresses of Arad, Comorn, and Peter wardein ; and it is not doubted that Klapka, an intimate friend of Georgey, will promptly comply, and open the gates of Comorn to the Imperial troops. In passing by the head quarters of the Ban Jellachich, Count Soltick learned, it is said, that Kossuth and Bern had crossed the Turkish frontier." ITALY. The Genoa Gazette of the 13th instant quotes a letter froni Rome of the 14th, stating that the Go- vernment Committee had instituted a Central Board of Censorship, composed of ten members residing at Rome, whose mission would be to inquire into the conduct of the officers of the different departments of the State, no matter what their rank might be, and ascertain if their acts during the late political events entitled them to confidence. The board was likewise to examine the conduct of the pensioners of the Government during the same period, to know if they had preserved a right to those pensions, and it' any of them ware suscep tible of being replaced on active service. Similar boards of censorship were to be established in each province for the same purpose. The Roman Journal of the 14th contains the fol lowing : "Several persons having claimed the restitution of their fowling-pietas, the authorities have ordered that their demands to that effect should be addressed to the president of their respective quarters, who will refer them to the Governor• General.
