On Thursday last the shareholders' opening of 25 miles of this railway—from its commencement at a junc tion with the Leeds and Bradford extension, about two miles east of Skipton to Ingleton—took place with the usual ceremonies. The main lino was originally planned and intended to extend from Ingleton to a junction with the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, near Kendal, but the intention has been abandoned, temporarily at least, and the junction will now be made by that railway at Lancaster by means of thu Lancaster branch, which commences at the Wen fling Bank, Clapham Moor, and runs direct to Lan caster. This portion is now in course of construction, and will be opened in March next. It is 1$ miles in length, and when finished it will become a portion of the main line, and shorten the distance to the north-western districts of Scotland by about 20 miles. From the commencement of the North• Western, near Skipton, to Ingleton. only a single litie of rails has been laid down, but all the works are const: tided with a view to a double line, wker the trallie may regnire it. The entire cost of the 2.i rut c 3. including Par.i,inentury ex penses, will not amount to inure than 16,0001. per mile. The stations on the line are at Skipten, Gargrave, Bell Bask, llelefield, Long Preston, Settle, Clephain, and Ingleton. The company have a branch from Lancaster to Poul ton-le Sands, which branch has been open for some time, and has already conduced to the improvement of Pool to_•n as a bathing place. The train lett Ingletoa shortly after nine o'clock, and was upwards of two hours and a half in performing the journey to Skipton. Its approach was welcomed by the band, which had been engag,d for the day. After stopping at Ingleton 48 minutes, the train started on its return, reaching Settle, distant about nine miles and a half from Ingleton, at 25 minutes before five o'clock. TRUSTEES. The Right Rey.

The plaintiff had charged him with injuring his character, and threatened to bring action against him; and he replied, that when he could prove that bills with his indorsement upon them ter 100/. were in the hands of such persons as Smith, and had been offered for so little as 15/., he thought the jury would give him a very poor verdict if ho did bring -in action. The plaintiff then said, that he hail given these bills in order to enable him to !Also up other bills that were coming due. The d3y after this bill got into the possession of Smith, he called at his shop and made the following memorandum in a book, which he pro d used "Dear Cubitt,—lf any one should make any inquiries of you respecting Storrar, of Southampton, make it right; I have referred the parties to you. " Yours truly, "JOHN SMITH." The witness continued—ln consequence of this num bers of persons did call upon him to make inquiries re specting the plaintiff, and this particular bill and several others were referred to., In fact, he was "dunned to death" upon the subject. He stated all the circum stances to the plaintiff, and told him that he must be aware no money had passed for the bill, and the only answer he made was, that he had got the bill, and he would make the defendant pay it, Mr. CHAMBERS said this was the case for the de fendant. COURT OF ALDERMEN. IMPORTATION OF CATTLE AND SHEEP. TO TOURISTS.-BLACK'S GUIDE BOOKS AND TRAVELLING MAPS. New Edition. At the last Court of Aldermen, Alderman and Sheriff Finnis presented a petition from the importers of foreign cattle and sheep and wharfingers of the city of London. The petition stated that by an Act passed in the 21st year of George 111. to prevent the • mischiefs that had arisen from driving cattle within the cities of London and Westminster and liberties thereof, the mayor ar.tl aldermen shall h lye full power to make roles for tc gulating persons who drive cattle, &c , and to alter and amend them; that the Court did accordingly, on the 2 w 4 a t s h o o r f September, d ered that e lB 39, personl 39, m s a h ke u al s l or e i l r i r . u e l e r s wh , permit ere tbey bite driven, any cattle, &c., into any Street or place within one mile of Smithfield- market on any Sunday before 11 at night, under a penalty of 405.; that since the date of the making of such rules the Legi,lature had passed a law permi,tiog the importation of foreign cattle and sheep into this country, which the petitioners were largely concerned in importing ; that the vessels so employed discharged their cargoes at St. Katharine's Dock•wharf, Brewer's and Chester quays, and London bridge-wharf, and it very frequently happened,that, from the state of the wind and tide, and other causes, they did not arrive at their destination until Sunday morning; and, to facilitate the landing of the cattle, the officers of Customs were always in attendance on Sundays for the purpose of inspecting and passing them. That it was in dispensably necessary that the cattle should be landed immediately on their arrival, and, on- being landed, be driven to a place where food and water could be given to them. That the wharfs and quays could not afford the accommodation required. That the petitioners had taken places in Smithfield for the express purpose of there sup plying the cattle, &c., so imported with food and water; but, by the existing rules of the Court, it was an offence to drive cattle • through the streets before eleven o'clock on Sunday night/and that' the - cattle . must therefore ift kept on board until after eleven o'clock on Sunday ; and from the crowded state of the vessel it was impossible to give them the necessary food and water, whereby they suffered and valuem misery, rtyh,eapn petitioners, i w t i e o r n e ers, greatly and det eri orated the w harfi ng a e n r s d cattle not being immediately landed and driven from their premises. The that the Court would so alter and amend the rules as to mr s e u ud s cu t h a c i e n rid e a d in much inconvenience and annoyance by the in the driving of cattle petition asthe alteredconcludedstate with the prayer of the law and the exigencies of the case might require.

The only question in this cause, therefore, was, whether or not, at the time the bill got into the possession of the plaintiff, he was aware of the manner in which it bad hee'h obtained, and if the jury should be of opinion that he was not, or that he was only made acquainted with it afterwards, he would be entitled to recover. It appeared to him that the evidence was insufficient to establish the fact of the plaintiff being aware of any fraud, and if the jury should be of the same opinion, it would be their duty to return a verdict in his favour. If, on the contrary, they considered that the evidence es tablished that fact, they would find for the defendant.

It will be for the shareholders to decide whether a dividend at the rate of 2i per cent. shall be declared for the half-year on the amount of calls now actually paid up in full to the 30th of June. The directors propose imme diately making arrangements for the completion of the line. The Cost of the extension for a double line, exclusive of land, is estimated at 43,0001. The directors do not anticipate that any further call on the share holders will be necessary this year beyond the 101. per share already called up, as the company possess power to borrow 70,000/.; they urge on the shareholders im mediately to pay the calls already made, in order that the pecuniary arrangements in connexion with the ex tension line may be at once completed.

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 hulk of the root. As few stomachs are able to bear a sufficient quantity of the powder to produce the desired effect, BE WL EY, 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 recom.nended to persons of Phlegmatic, Gouty, Dyspeptic, and Ner vous habits. Its beneficial effects are quickly diffused througholt the whole system, relieving cramps, spasms, flatulency, pain, and sense of oppressi , m 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 2e. 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 Lactucarium (the inspi-- 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.

John Joseph Clark, aged 27, was indicted for the ca e pital offence of burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of Augustus Munyard, and stealing two watches, same plat e , an d o th er va lu a ble property, and at the time of committin g th e b urg l ar y it Kas allege , that the prisoner beat and wo u nd e d the prosecutor. Mr. Hawkins prosecuted, and Mr. Charnock defended the prisoner. It appeared, from the very clear and concise statement of the Learned Counsel for the prosecution, and the evi deuce that was produced in support of it, that the offence which was the subject of the inquiry, was committed under very extraorainary and aggravated circumstances. The prosecutor is a farmer, residing in a rather lonely position in the parish of Meopham, and it seemed that it was his custom not to allow his men servants to sleep on the premises, and the only inmates of the house at night were himself; his wife, and a Cmale servant. They re tired to bed at the usual hour on the Ist of June, and about midnight the prosecutor was woke by hearing a noise at his bed-room w i n d ow . He at first imagin ed there was an alarm o f fi re , an d on his a going towards the wi n d ow h e observed the up and the heads of two men, who wer e a pp aren tly s t an ding on the ladder. The men were dis g ui se d by h av ing their shirts over their clothes, and a sort of w hit e c ap over their faces , with holes in them t o l oo k th roug h, and before the pro secutor had any opportunity to observe them particu larly, or to oiler any resistance, the window was crushed in, and several men, all disguised in the manner stated, jumped into the room and commenced a most brutal at tack upon the prosecutor with bludgeons, and one of the ruffians also struck hide with an iron bar. He begged for mercy, and at length he was permitted to get into bed, and the villains then insisted upon having the money that was in the house."" The prosecutor informed them.that there rwaszoirfruitio:weneyeni the home At the time, and they Thiteilemanded the plate, and' they compelled the wife of the prosecutor to accompany them down stairs and show them where it was kept, two of the gang keeping guard over the prosecutor, while the rest went down stairs to get the property. The wife of the prosecutor then delivered up the money that was in her possession, and also the plate„ and one of the gang wrapped up the property in a bundle, and took it out and delivered it to a confede rate, who was waiting outside. The prosecutor's wiai was then compelled to get into bed again, while the ruffians , ransacked the house, and white so engaged they discovered a receipt for some money, upon which they returned to the bedroom and repeated their demand for money, asserting that they were certain there was some in the house, and one of the ruffians declared that if it was not given up he would set fire to the bed and burn them both in it. The prosecutor still persisted in declaring that he had no more muney, and at length the gang of ruffians left the house, taking with them the booty they had obtained. In consequence of the effectual manner in which they had disguised themselves, neither the prosecutor nor his wife was able to speak to the identity of any of the persons concerned in the outrage, and the only evidence they could give upon the point was that the prisoner resembled in gait and general appear ance one of the men, but the guilt of the prisoner was clearly established by the evidence of one of the gang, a man named Prior, who was admitted a witness for the Crown; and the cor roborative testimony that was adduced in support of it. From the statement of the accomplice it appeared that he had been living in the house of the prisoner, a lodging-house at Gravesend, for a short time before the burglary, and on the Wednesdy before it was committed, the prisoner proposed to him to join in it, and introduced him to four persons who were strangers to him, but who, he said, were first-rate housebreakers, and they arranged to commit the robbery on the Ist of June. They then, he said, proceeded separately to the .neighbourhood of the prosecutor's farms, for the purpose of " sounding," and ascertaining what his arrangements wore, and having discovered that none of the labourers slept upon the farm, they resolved upon carrying out their project as they had arranged. They, accordingly, six in number, went to the prosecutor's farm, and having obtained a ladder, it was placed against the bed-room window, and some of the gang went up the ladder, for the purpose of forcing their way into the bed-room, while the accomplice Prior was set to watch another part of the house, to see that no one left the premises in that direction, and he was instructed to knock out the brains of any one who attempted to do so. The prisoner Clark, it appeared, was at first stationed at the foot of the ladder, to give an alarm if any one ap proachtd, but after his companions had been in the house a short time he joined them, and assisted in the search for plunder. Witnesses were examined in corroboration of the accomplice's story, who proved that the prisoner was in his company on the day the robbery wa, committed, and that he had also been seen near the farm of the prosecutor, making inquiries with regard to his habits, and whether the men-servants slept on the premises; and in addition to these facts, it appeared that after he was in gaol he made a statement to one of his fellow-prisoners which was'tantamount to an admission .nfat'r nor'ft had waited a few days. Mr. CRARNOCK addressed the jury on the part of the prisoner, and endeavoured with considerable ingenuity to show that there was no reality, no actual corroboration of the accomplice's testimony, and upon that ground he called upon them to acquit the prisoner. Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE summed up ; and the jury, after a very short deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned SERGEANT, after making some appro priate remarks upon the very aggravated and alarming character of the offence of which the prisoner had been convicted, ordered judgment of death to be recorded, with an intimation that the prisoner would be transported for life. July 26. The Chief Baron returned to the circuit this morning, and took his seat in the Nisi Prius Court. Mr. Baron Alderson proceeded to town on Wednesday evening to attend at Chambers, and Mr. Sergeant Wallinger pre sided in the Crown Court. In the course of the day a third Court was formed before Mr. Sergeant Gaselee. (Before the CHIEF BARON and a Common Jury.) STORRER V. HARMAN. This was an action upon a bill of exchange for 1721., the defendant being sued as the acceptor. A great number of special pleas were put upon the re cord, but the material defence relied upon was that the bill had been obtained by fraud, and that the plaintiff was aware of the fact, and that he had given no consi deration for the bill. Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Hurlstone were for the defendant; Sergeant Gaselee and Mr. Lush appeared for the plaintiff. The ease on the part of the plaintiff consisted in merely the production of the bill, and proof that the ac ceptance was the handwriting of the defendant. Mr. CHAMBERS, on the part of the defendant, said that the defence he was instructed to offer was, that he had been swindled out of this bill, under a pretence that it should he discounted for him ; but instead of that being done, he had, in point of fact, never received a single farthing, and when the jury had heard the evidence he should adduce, he believed they would not entertain any doubt that the plaintiff, who now sued as the holder of the bill, was perfectly cognizant of the fraud that had been practised, and on that ground he was not entitled to recover. _ OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Stafford, July 26. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice ERLE.) William noddy, 20, was indicted for cutting and wounding Samuel Armishaw, at Stone, on the 22d May. The prosecutor, a brewer's draytnan, went to a public house with some barrels, and after unloading them, he went into a room in which were the prisoner and two other men. He called for a pint of ale, and one of the men, named Carter, commenced ill-using him, backed by the other two, when prosecutor knocked Carter down. The three men went out, and proseCutor followed with his waggon on the Stone road about twenty minutes af terwarda. After going some distance, he found Hoddy, Carter, and Beresford in the road. Carter went up, and tried to pull him out of the waggon. Armishaw struck him with the whip, and Beresford then seized the near leader's head, on which the was jumped out of the waggon, when Hoddy, who standing on the footpath, with a knife in his hand, came up, and stuck the knife into his side by the ninth rib, inflicting a wound about one inch in breadth and two-and-a-halt in depth. The prisoner's defence was, that he used the knife to protect himself from the whip of the prosecutor; but the wituessdenied that he was struck at all. transported for ten years. ARRI Qrs.

LivEaroor., JULY 27.—The arrivals from Ireland and coastwise, as well as from abroad, since Tuesday, have been quite unimportant. The exports in the same time have also been trifling. As the weather, which at the beginning of the week was extremely wet, has since become more favourable, the demand for wheat and flour has been languid, though prices have been well maintained. Indian corn has met with little attention, and some sales of prime yellow were reported at 29s per quarter, being a further decline of is per quarter. In other articles no change has occurred. At this day's market there was only a slender attendance of the trade, and wheat and flour met with an extremely slow sale, at about the prices of Tues day. Oats and oatmeal were without change in value. For barley, beans, and peas there was the usual retail demand at our late quotations. Indian corn was in very limited request, and fully 2s per quarter lower, 28s per quarter being the top price of prime yellow. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, JULY 27.—A fair amount of business has been done in our raw sugar market this week, at prices rather in favour of the buyers. The refined market is dull and lower. Rum is in rather more request, especially prime parcels, which, however, are scarce. —Bristol Mercury. DENEIGH, JULY 25.—The market to-day wore a dull ap pearanre, and business was very flat, the holders of corn not liking to part with it at the present prices.

LLANRWST, JULY 24.—There was a good deal of business done at our market again to• day ; but wheat was sold for less money, the highest mark being 18s.

In the beginning of the present year, the defendant, with whom he was acquainted, wanted to raise some money upon a reversionary interest,:and witness endeavored to get some person to advance him the amount he required, but failing to do so, he suggested that a bill of exchange should be drawn by him, and ac cepted by the defendant, and ho told him that he believed he should be able to get the bill discounted, through the agency of a person named Smith. Accordingly, on the 26th February, he accompanied the defendant to a public house in Beak-street, where they saw a brougham and servant standing at the door, belonging to Smith, and they afterwards saw that person in the smoking-room of the house. It was then arranged that this bill should be drawn, but as Smith had not got money enough to buy a stamp, he went out to borrow some. Smith came back accompanied by a person named Cubitt, and the stamp was at length procured, and witness drew the bill, and it was accepted by the defendant, and then handed to Smith who undertook to get it discounted. In the month of November previous to this transaction he saw the plain tiff, who carried on the business of an upholsterer at Southampton, for the purrose of arranging a debt which Smith owed him, and upon thatoccasion the plaintiff seemed very vindictive against Smith, and said that he knew he could never pay him, unless he had a " slice of luck," or " nailed" somebody, as he generally did. Mr. Cubitt deposed that he was an upholsterer, and carried on business in Sherrard-street, Regent street. He was, to his sorrow, acquainted with Joha Smith, the person referred to by the last witness. He remem bered, on the 26th February, that he came to his shop wantedatondlethHe refused accompanied him to im h a t v o e borrowthe money te tenthen, shillings but oof h im, Campbell's Stores in Beak-street, where he found the defendant and Mr. Bryant, and atter some conversation a stamp was procured and the present bill was drawn and accepted and handed to Smith, who took it away, saying that he was going to get it discounted by a soli citor, and that he would bring the money back in two hours. A day or two after this he saw the bill still in Smith's possession, and he wanted witness to discount it, offering to give half the amount of the bill for the accom modation. About a fortnight after that, the plaintiff and Smith came to his shop in the brougham of the latter, and Smith said that he had "nailed" the fellow at last, DisTuEsseD N E EDL E WOMEN'S SOCIETY.—A lively and had got his acceptance, and he understood him to interest has been taken during the last few days by the refer to the defendant.

CIVIL SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice PATTESON and a Special Jury.) SAYLES V. BLANK. In this case the plaintiff complained, that being the owner of 20 shares in the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway Company, of 251. each, the de fendant agreed to buy them, and pay the price, accept a transfer of them, and cause the transfer to be registered; that the defendant accepted the transfer, and paid the price, but did not cause a memorial of the transfer to be registered in the company's books, and the plaintiff's name being left standing in the company's books as owner, he remained liable to pay the calls, and had, in fact, paid five calls and interest, amounting to 2611. 10a. There was a second count for that sum, as money paid for the defendant's use, at his request. The defendant pleaded, denying, Ist, the agreement ; 2d, that the plaintiff was the owner; and 3d, that ho ac cepted the transfer. Mr. KNOWLES, for the defendant, submitted to his Lordship that the plaintiff had not only not proved, but had disproved one of the allegations in this declaration, which he was bound to prove. The plaintiff did not sell the shares to the defendant; the brokers treated each other as principals; there was no contract between the plaintiff and the defendant, and whatever the defendant said in his letter was negatived by the facts proved. Mr. Justice PATTESON said he did not see how Scho field, a share-dealer, was connected with the defendant. tie did not see that it could be possibly said that the plaintiff sold to the defendant. The alleged contract seemed to him to be negatived, and the only remaining question was, on the second count, for money paid for the defendant, and the question on that was, whether the acceptance of the transfer did not amount to a re quest to the plaintiff to pay the calls. He thought nut, hut he would give Mr. Martin leave to move upon it for the plaintiff The plaintiff was then nonsuitcd, with leave to enter a verdict for him on the second count for 2611. 10a. THE LATE THUNDER STORM. The house, No. 12, Poland-street, Oxford-street, in the occupation of Mr. Channon, was struck by the elec tric fluid, entirely destroying the back part of the pre mises. The chief of the massive brickwork, several ton weight, fell into the composing-room of Mr. Schulze, printer, No. 13, adjoining, where ten compositors were at work, who fortunately escaped uninjured. One man was so terribly alarmed that he leaped out of the second-floor window. A projecting out-house broke his fall, or he must have been dashed to pieces; as it was he only sus tained a few bruises. About half-past two, immediately following a heavy clap of thunder, a barge. in which were two men, was seen to founder off Nine Elms. Boats put off, but before assistance could reach them the poor fellows sunk and were drowned. Three of a flock of sheep grazing in a field at Green lane, West-end, belongin g to a Mr. Lambutt, were found dead, having been struck by the lightning. So great was the devastation among the feathered tribe, that in the vicinity of Kennington and Camberwell dead sparrows were to be seen lying at almost every step. A man named Skinner, living in Prince's road, picked up 130. St. Paul's Church, Covent-garden, was struck by the electric fluid in several parts, and the rain made its way through, owing to some dislodgment of the outer cover ing. The ceiling, which is considered to be one of the finest in London, has received immense injury. The authorities immediately made every necessary arrange ment for its protection, and yesterday a number of work men were ordered to repair the injury done to the sacred edifice. EXECUTION AT LINCOLN.—LINCOLN, FRIDAY, JULY 27.—The last sentence of the law was carried into effect at twelve o'clock this day upon John Ward, who, at the last assizes for this county, was found guilty of the murder of his mother, Martha Ward. No sooner had the wretched convict reached the scaffold than ho became dreadfully convulsed, and upon his partial re covery he confessed to the sheriff that he shot his mother intentionally on account of her interference about the servant girl, Susan Baggs. The convict, although he hail previously confessed to the Rev. Mr. Hitcher, the chaplain, for some days previously exhibited no com punction, but after the Rev. Gentleman had pointed out the fearful position in which he stood, he joined daily with him in prayer, and, in the course of the Scriptural readings which took place, he expressed his sorrow and penitence, and said that he hoped God would pardon and save him. These sentiments he repeated at the place of execution. When asked if he had made a full confession, whether he was truly sorry and penitent? the wretched parricide replied, in emphatic made,tontese, " Yes." The usual preparations havingd die bolt was withdrawn, and the convict appeare beon to h without a struggle. There were at least 10,000 persons present, a great number consisting' of women. CURB Fon ItnEUMATISM.—Bathe the parts affected with water in which potatoes have been boiled, as hot as can be borne, just before going to bed; by the next morning the pain will be much_ relieved,ifnot removed. One applica tion of this simple remedy has cured the I most obstinate rheumatic pains. Naval Cadets—Henry F. Davies, to the Prince Regent, 90, at Naples; Stephen E. Poyntz, to the Fisgard, flag ship, at Woolwich; Follett Johnstone, to the Queen. The Queen, 116, Capt. Wyse, hauled off from the dock yard, Devonpert, on Thursday morning, in the stream.

PORTSMOUTH, FRIDAY, FIVE P.m.—The wind has somewhat moderated to-day, and has drawn to the N.W., with finer weather. Some of the wind-bound ships have proceeded to the westward. TIIE ROYAL BANK OF LIVERPOOL.—The annual meeting of the shareholders of this bank took place yes terday, at two o'clock, Francis Shand, Esq., in the chair. The attendance was very numerous, many gen tlemen having come from a considerable distance. The report of the directors stated that the net profits of the bank (after the payment of all expenses and the inte rest on the preference shares) amounted to the sum of 20,8911. 14'. 2d. ; and that since the resumption of business no bad debts had been incurred. The sum it is proposed to carry to a reserved fund, and the direc tors had full confidence that the shareholders would confirm the proposition, affording, as it did, the best means of providing for any possible contingency, as well as laying the foundation for greater uniformity in the payment of dividends in future. In realising the assets of the bank, the directors might not have made as much progress as they anticipated, but the shareholders were reminded that, from the character of the property in which the bank is interested, both in this country and in the West Indies, it would have been most injudicious, especially with so many increasing symptoms of im provement, to have forced such property prematurely upon the market. The Chairman said that it would be unnecessary for him to do more than to more the adop tion of the report. Mr. Alderman Cooper said that he cordially seconded its adoption, and had pleasure in congratulating the meeting on the position in which they then stood—so different from that in which they were placed eighteen months ago. The report was then unanimously adopted, amidst considerable applause, Several questions were asked by Mr. Dimmock, Mr. Jones, and other gentlemen, which were clearly and satisfactorily replied to by the chairman ; and, after a vote of thanks had been passed to the directors, to Mr. Chaffers (the manager), to Mr. Myers, and the Chair man, the meeting separated , al l ex p ressing their gratifi cation at the successful op erations of the bank, and at its re-established position. ATTEMPT AT M U RDER.—The village of Isleham , seven miles from Newmarket, was on Monday last (the 23(i) thrown into consternation by a most deliberate attempt to murder. The perpetrator is Robert Norman, a turfman and carter, in comfortable circumstances, and his victim a girl of 17 years of age, named Sarah Ann Petch, the daughter of his wife before his marriage with her. The attempt was made about eight o'clock in the morning, with a large clasp lutife, which penetrated the windpipe, and made a wound of four inches in length. The girl was at the time standing with her back to Nor man in the kitchen, and his wife and son (about 10 years of age) standing by. He afterwards made a slight wound in his own throat. The prisoner had frequently taken improper liberties with the girl, and is of a violent character. Three weeks since, in a quarrel, he threat ened to play " Rush" with his wife, and said he "would not be hung for one, nor yet for two." The immediate cause of the act seems to have arisen from the girl's having absented herself from the house on Sunday last without the prisoner's consent. The girl being in a very precarious state, the attendance of a magistrate from the Newmarket bench, then sitting, was requested, and the Rev. W. Acton, accompanied by Mr. Oke, the assistant clerk to the magistrates, attended at Isleham to take her declaration, but she having hope of recovery, the preli minary inquiry was gone into in the usual manner in the presence of the prisoner, in the room whale the attempt to murder had been made; and after the ex Pon, nation of the girl, the son, Mr. Add ison, the m e su and the constable, Ellington, he w as fully %Eti:ii the next Cambridge Assizes.
