fourtt SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Cluck. BELGIAN EASTERN JUNCTION RAILWAY.—(ITIIS DAY.) A special general meeting of the shareholders was held this afternoon at the London Tavern ; Sir Frederick Smith presiding. The report stated that the directors had been dis appointed in not receiving an answer from the Bel gian Minister of Pubiic Works, the expectation of which had alone induced them to call the meeting. After detailing their proceedings, it went on to say that a large body of influential coal owners and other proprietors in the vicinity of the proposed line had petitioned in favour of the project, and this, the directors believed, had contributed to reinove the unfavourable disposition which the Minister; had latterly manifested: to it. They were at a loss to account for the neglect of the Minister, and they could only ascribe it to the diffi culty of assembling a council of Ministers, owing to the absence of the Prime Minister and the Minister of Fo reign Affairs, as well as the severe illness of another Mi nister, who for some weeks had been on the point of death from an attack of cholera. As soou as the answer is received they will convene another meeting, and sub mit to the shareholders such measures as the reply may suggest. The financial position of the company was more encouraging than on the occasion of the last meeting. They had received assurances from M. Greban, upon which they placed full reliance that M. Messel would eventually be able to liquidate the whole of his debt to the company with interest. The Belgian funds, in which the caution money was invested, had risen considerably in price, so that if realised at the present moment, they would produce 25,0001. in lieu of 18,0001., their estimated value at the.last meeting. The delay therefore' in realising them would be amply compensated, if the company should now succeed in the pending negotiation, and be permitted to employ their capital in the execution of a part of the line. In that event also an arrear of two years interest would be allowed to them upon the caution money, amounting to 2 ; 5791. From the statement of accounts, it appeared that the disbursements and expenses amounted to 2,256/, 23. ld., and the investments and balance, both here and at Brussels, to 52,544/. 9s. 81. Tne liabilities, on the 31st of August, 1849, were 532/. 12s. Id. The CHAIRMAN dd that af,er mature delibera tion the directors had not celled a meeting in July last, nor in January preceding, owing to certain negotiations then going on with the Belgian Government, which a meeting. might have altogether neutralized. They had now to con sider whether it was best for them to have the:caution-money:returned back, or whether they should apply it to making a line from Warre to Manage which he believed would he, with one excep tion, the most profitable! railway in Belgium. What he proposed was, that they should pass a resolution expressing their disapprobation at not receiving the Minister's answer to the proposal of the directors, and regiF-stiog that one might be returned as early as possible. He would also suggest that two shareholders should be sent to Brussels to convey the opinion of the meeting to the Arnister,"with whom they should obtain an interview. In reply to Mr. "M'Alpiee, the CHAIRMAN stated that all the claims in Engl aid had not been liqui dated; that those which re.hained unpaid amounted to 532/, 12i. 10d., aed that the directors had 6991. 14e 61 in hand to meet them. After some discussion a resolution in accordance with a suggestion of the chairman was pie:pesel by Mr. FIELD, seconded by Mr. AP/A erise and carried, that a letter be written to the Mieister in:ormieg him that the meeting stood adjourned until nday, of October, in order to receive his answer. The further consideration of the report was post poned until that day, and after a vote of thanks to the Chairman, the meeting i,eparatiqi. FRANCE. We read in the Presse We have again to point out an extraordinary activity in almost all the manufactories. Toe movement even appears to extend to many branAes of industry which had not before participated in it. Agents from the departments are numerous in Paris, buying up all the goods that are ready, ar.d giving orders to such an extent that some have been refused from want of hands to execute them. We have seen several establishments for articles of luxury which had guarded since the revolution only two or three workmen, and which in the courPe of the last fortnight have been obliged to engage fifteen or twenty new ones." SWITZERLAND. The Swiss Government has ordered the expulsion of 1-1 , -,lnzmi, Strewe, Brentano, and Mierolawski, chieF3 of the insurrection of the Grand Duchy of BAd-n. They have the choice of passing through France or going to Genoa. AVSfttIA Letters from Bucharest of the 31st state positively that Bem has taken refuge in the Turkish terri:ory, and has been conveyed to Widin with the other Magyar chiefs. In the same place are to be found, Count Yasnoiski, a Pole , well known in E n gl an d and Fra nce , and MM. Guyon, Herries, and Pagel ; a great number of Poles, and Italians lave also found an asylum in the capital of the Government of Ibrahim Pasha. Austria and Russia claim these fugitives, and at this moment it is not known what bas been the answer of the Porte; but Sir Stratford Canning has strongly advised the Porte not to yield to such a claim, a concession to which would bring dishonour on its name. A letter from Constantinople, of the 26th ult., addressed to the Independance of Brussels, states, that in virtue of treaties, the Ottoman Porte is bound to give up the chiefs of the Hungarian insurrection on the demand of Russia, but that she could decline to do so on the demand of Austria especially, as the latter power refused, some years ego, to surrender some prisoners who took part in en insurrection in Bosnia. The letter adds that the Porte was determined, if possible, to avoid giving up the refugees. The Minister of Finance in Austria has ordered that, from the 18th, the interdiction on the exporta tion of specie, which has existed for 18 months, shall cease. ITALY. The Parma Gazette of the 10th publishes a decree of the Duke, which, after reciting that the misrule existing at present in the department of public in struction calls for a serious reform, particularly in so far as concerns the superior schools, where some professors take it upon themselves to instil per verse and subversive maxims into the minds of their pupils, instead of est:Piling them to fidelity towards their legitimate Sovereign, enacts 1. The suppression of the superior schools of Parma and Piacenza, without suspending, however, the payment of the stipends-to the professors until fur ther orders. 2. The nomination of a commission of enlightened men, to entrusted with the reorganisation of the said establishment, and with an inquiry into the religious, moral, and, above all, political conduct of the professors and other officials.

Only small purchases have been made in Jamaica for home con sumption, as expert orders come in slowly. The market is still well supplied with low and mid sorts, but of fine few parcels are on offer.

On Monday evening Dr. Cromwell &Hs ered an important and interesting lecture on the Antiquities of the British Islands. The lecturer having briefly alluded to the condition of the Aboriginal inhabitants, proceeded to offer a few remarks on the Tumuli, or Barrows, and the articles found therein ; these were, for the most part, of brass, some of stone, or flint ; those of iron were of the British Roman period; these instru ments from their shape, by adapting the handle. might be used for domestic or military purposes, as occasion required. In the Wiltshire Barrow, three feet below the surface, the remains of a dog had been found, and six feet lower down those of a man, sup. posed to have been a hunter, which reminds us of the lines of the poet— " Lo, the poor Indian! whose untutor'd mind Sees God in clouds, or hears him in the wind; His soul proud science never taught to stray Far as the solar walk, or milky way; Yet simple nature to his hope has given, Behind the cloud-topt hill, an humbler heaven; Some safer world in depths of woods embrac'd, Some happier island in the watery waste, Where slaves once more their native land behold, No fiends torment, no Christians thirst for gold. To be, contents his natural desire, lie asks no angel's wing, no seraph's fire; But thinks, admitted to that equal sky, His faithful dog shell bear him company." Silbury 111111, in Berkshire, was the la rg est' hill mound in Europe, and on examination was found to resemble the great pyramid of Ghizeh, the top of each being flat ; they were used doubtless for similar pur poses, as a monument to the dead, and as a high altar for the worship of God. Of the rock fortresses, Dun barton, Dunatnose, and Windsor were examples ; of the hill fortresses, Old Sarum was perhaps the most ancient, having been successively held by Bri tish, Roman, Saxon, and Norman, and was improved in Alfred's time. These, with many other inte resting matters, were ably discussed by the lecturer, and the subject was illustrated throughout by refe rence to numerous effective and highly finished dia grams. The lecturer, in dilating on the importance of antiquarian research, remarked that in the absence of this many important passages in the Scriptures had been poorly rendered by commentators, and their strength and meaning obscured. ATTEMPTED MuaDEß.—The village of Stratton St. Margaret, nar Swindon, Wilts, was thrown into considerable excitement on Friday last, owing to Mr. Abel Habgood, sou of Mr. John Habgood, of that village, having beta shot at on the previous night, on the Swin. don and Lechdale turnpike road. It appears that Mr. Habgood had visited the neighbourhood of Lechdale on Thursday last, and was returning home between ten and eleven o'clock in the evening, in a gig, when be was accosted by a man on the road, about a mile from the town of Highworth, who requested a lift to Swindon. This was acceded to, and tirr two entered into conversa tion, about two miles on the road, until they arrived at a cross. roads where the man requested to alight. Mr Habgood immediate ly pulled up hi, horse, and his com panion. seizing the loins in one hand, drew a pistol with the other, and fired Lull in the .ace of Mr. llabgoed, and then decamped. The pistol fortunately was not loaded with a ball, but shot only, several of se hich Mr. Habgood received in his face and hat. Medical assist ance was procured, and a number of shots have been extracted from his head and face. The police are now ac.ively engaged in tracing out the guilty person, it being generally suspected that jealousy only, and not robbery, was the instigation of this diabolical attempt. NEW WAY TO DRESS VEGETABLES.—With plain boiled peas, wh e n just boiled I put in a stewpan a lit,.le milk, butter, cayenne pepper, and one ounce of grated Parmesan cheese, stir two minutes, and serve. French beans may be dressed the same way, as also yeung broad beaus and cauliflowers, or any small vegetables.— M. &yen Name of Company. lastralasia • • •• •• • • •• Britsh North American Ceylon • • • • .. • • • • • • •• Commercial of London C)lonial. • • • • • ••• • • •• Gloucestershire • • •• • • lonian • • • • • • .. •• •• • • .ondit and Westminstr Ditto ..............

Sono further evidence was then gone into, but the case fo' the prosecution was not in any material re spect.s trengthened by it, and the Learned Counsel at length :said he did not feel that, under the circum stances., he should be justified in occupying any more of 'the. p üblic time. The.) . ury accordingly, under his Lordship's direc tion, returned a verdict of Not guilty. There were two other indictments against the de fendants, .arising out of the same transaction, but Mr. PA,BRY said that after what had taken place he should not proceed with them. Mr. CL ARICSON said there was not the slightest foundation for the charges that had been preferred. The del( mdants were then discharged. POI I .IC.E lINTELLiGENCE. MARYLP; )1% , Henry Li'vermore and George Gilpin were brought up in custody, on the charge of having been con cerned in stealing an hydrometer, value four gni:was, the property of Mr. John Earles Lawford of the Castle Tavern, Kentish-town. A great deal of evidence was gone into, and the inquiry occupied ;the attention of the Court upwards of an hour. Gilpin was dismissed, and Livermore remanded till Monday next. Mr. Thomas Ashton Cockayne, master of a gram mar•shool at Brompron, and who was liberated upon bail on Monday, the 10th inst., was re ex;imined be fore the sitting magistrate, Mr. Broughton, on the charge of having com miffed an indecent assault upon police•constable Angell, 255 S. Mr. Steele attended as solicitor for the defendant, for whom he acted upon the first inquiry, and he cross•examined the complainant at some length with regard to his conduct while living at Melksham, which, according to a letter received by him from the magistrate's clerk there, was of anything but a favourable nature. The investigation lasted nearly two hours, and the magistrate, at length, came to the conclusion that he was bound to send the case for the consideration of a jury. The accused, who denied the truth of the allega tion made by the officer as to the grossly-indecent assault upon which he had been brought up, was hailed, as in the first inst'nce, by highly respectable friends, in the sum of 2001. each, in addition to his own recognisance in 3001. fur his being forthcoming to take his trial. CLERKEN WEL L. Yesterday, illr. Robert Long, of No. 28, Charles. street, Hatton-garden, was placed at the bar before Mr. Combo, charged by John Flanigen, aged 15, of Pheasant's-court, Gray's Inn-lane, with having vio lently assaulted him. The boy, whose mouth was severely mutilated, said that on Sunday last he was passing through Charles street, Hatton-garden, where there was a crowd of persons. The prisoner rushed at him with a large drover's stick, and struck him with it a violent blow upon the mouth, which cut him severely. The pri- soner also kicked him. Mr. COMBE—Did you give him any provocation ? The witness said he did not. The officer who took the prisoner into custody said that during the whole of Sunday and for some days past the neighbourhood of Charles-street and its vici nity were in a state of riot and confusion, in conse quence of a warfare which was carried on by two factions of Irish boys and lads connected with Saffron hill and Gray's Inn-lane. They met together armed with bludgeons and other weapons, and fought despe rately against each other, and injuries were inflicted on both sides, but their activity eluded the police. The prisoner, in his defence, said that himself and family had been annoyed most egregiously by the violent conduct of the parties alluded to, and his children had been violently attacked and injured. On Sunday last upwards of one hundred of the lowest description of boys assembled in Charles street with sticks such as are used by drovers. They commencing fighting and making a great noise, and hearing that his children, who were playing near his house, were hurt in the crowd, and feeling indignant, he left the house, and seeing the prosecutor acting violently he took the stick from him, and rushing into the crowd he certainly did strike in every direction, but he was not aware of having struck the prosecutor. Mr. ComsE—Then you don't know whether you struck him or not? You did not know or care who you struck ? Prisoner —That is true, but the nuisance was disgraceful. They broke my windows, shutters, and doors by throwing stones ; there are large holes through the street-door in consequence of their ex treme violence. Mr. ComisE asked the prosecutor whether he had the stick, or did he use any violence ? He said he had no stick, and he did nothing to offend. The constable said he was connected with the Gray's Inn-lane gang or faction, and was one of tl - e most desperate, and he had nen him with a stick like the one produced. Mr. COMBE reprimanded the boy, and said he had brought it all upon himself by his own misconduct. He cautioned him as to his future conduct, discharged Mr. Long, and directed the attention of the police to the future proceedings of such young ruffians. Mr. Long thanked his Worship and left the court. " WHICHEVER NAME YOU PLEASE."- William - Grindley, alias William Grice, alias Willi am Edwards, who represented himself as being the son of Captain Grindley, of the 43d Light Infantry, was charged by Mr. Isaac Jacobson, jeweller, of Oxford street, with stealing a valuable dressing-case. The particulars of the case have been already detailed in the newspapers. The prisoner, on being placed at the bar, blubbered like a child, as at his former examination Some further additional evidence being taken, Mr. COMBE asked the prisoner if he had ever gone by the name of Grice ? Prisoner—Never ! oh, never ! Mr. COMBE , --I have got the certificate of your baptism here. You were christened William Grice. You gave your name William Grindley and William Edwards. Which name will you go by ? Prisoner— I don't care which ; any name you like. Mr. COMBE--It is immaterial. Your father's name was John Grice. Prisoner—l know nothing of that. My father always told me my name was Grindley. The depositions having been fully taken and read over, the prisoner was committed to Newgate for trial, and the witnesses bound over to prosecute. He was taken from the bar crying, and conduct ing himself in a wild and distracted manner, which was evidently assumed, and he was conveyed to Newgate. CHARITY. - The following letter was yesterday handed to our reporter : " Sept. 16, 1848. " Sir,—On this day of heart's_giving all persons who are absent, from London on pleasure, ought to send a trifle to their diseased fellow -creatures who cannot afford to of tain fresh air. Allow me to send a trifle to you to dispose of as you think best ; and, to save trouble, an acknowledgment in the newspapers will suffice. " Yours, &c. " BOWEN MAY, Herne Bay." The letter contained a draft for one guinea on Messrs. Dixon, bankers. L.4II.IBETIL Yesterday a young woman, named Jane Murray, was brought before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Elliott, charged with attempting self-destruction. It ar peered from the evidence of police-constable Fraser, 87 L, that on Friday evening last he was called ioto a public-house in the Westminster-road, and the prisoner was pointed out to him as suffering under the effects of poison. He saw that such was the case, and forthwith procured medical aid; an eme tic was administered to the prisoner by the assistant of Mr. Dodd, a surgeon, and the result was th e re moval from the stomach of the prisoner of a large quantity of oxalic acid. The prisoner admitted that she had taken the poison owing to the troubles she had suffered: She was removed to the workhouse in a very weak state, and thence she had now been brought before the Court. When called upon now to say what answer she had to give to the charge the prison er sa id t h at when she took the poison sh e did not know what she was about. A young man with whom she had kept company for two years had left her and had married another. He met her on Friday, and after giving her something to drink had communicated the fact to her, and she, on parting with him, had purchased the oxalic acid, which she had obtained under the pretence that she required it to clean a straw bonnet. She added that she should not have taken the poison if she had been in her right senses at the time. The magistrate ordered her to be remanded for a week, and to be taken care of in the infirmary of the prison. On Saturday last the magistrates of this court re ceived the following note, with its enclosure, for the use of the poor-box. " Fleetwood, 17th September, 1849. " Sir,—Now is the time when, more than ever, it is our duty to assist the want s o f t h e poor to the best of our means. Cholera seems to be raging most in your district, and enclosed I beg to hand you half a 51. note, the other half of which shall be sent when I see an acknowledgment in the newspapers of the first half, No. 36,039, having been received by you. The money to be distributed among the necessitous poor. I am, sir, y ours respectfully, isTo the Presiding Magistrate at the Lambeth Police Court." SOUTH WARD CHARGE OF BlGAMT.—Yesterday, a well dressed y our , g man, named John Chikoe Purnell, formerly errybiyed as managing clerk in the post-office at Reading, WAS brought before Mr: Seeker, charged "S. p . Q, with intermarrying with Mary Elizabeth Lucas, his former wife being then and now alive. Mr. Joseph Goldsmith Lucas, a respectable farmer, at Ticehurst, near Reading was called by Mr. Binns, who was retained for the prosecution. Witness stated that the prisoner introduced himself into the family while living at Reading, and, from the re spectable situation which he held and his plausible statements about his property, he was ailowed to pay his attentions to his sister. Knowing that she had considerable property besides money in the funds, from letters which be intercepted, he induced her to leave home clandestinely and dispose of her property, and on the 12th of July last he married her in the name of James Richardson, at Christchurch, Black ' friars road. Having obtained all her property from her, he deserted her, and witness ascertained that he had another wife living at Bristol. Mr. gECKEIt asked whether he was possessed of proof of the first marriage ? Mr. Burins replied that he had the certificates of both the marriages. The second one was found on the prisoner when taken into custody. He asked for a remand for the purpose of obtaining further evidence. Mr. SEC ER asked when he expected to get further evidence, as he could not remand him for more than eight days. He (Mr. Binns) must, however, give him sonic proof that the prisoner was the nian !more Le could acquiesce in his demand. Mr. Bums said he could prove it by the prisoner's admission. A letter was found upon him to that effect, which he could produce, but he would ratter not make public the whole of the contents at present, as the ends of justice might be defeated. Mr. SECKER said that it' he wanted the prisoner to be detained he must produce some grounds. lie had better read some portion of the letter which related to the marriage. Mr. Binns then read the following passage from the letter:—" I was determined to marry .her (Miss Lucas), which I (lid in the name of Richardson, at Christ Church, lilackfriars•road." The letter was signed " John Chilcott Purnell." Alfred Aylett, 51 M, said he took the letter from the prisoner. He acknowledged it to be in his hand writing, and that he had married a second wife. He found on the prisoner a number of pawnbrokers' duplicates relative to female wearing apparel, and some documents belonging to his second wile Mr. Edwin, the chief clerk, asked th? prisoner whether he had anything to say why he should not be remanded ?—Prisoner replied that he had nothing to say at present. He should reserve his defence until a future day. Mr. SECKER said he should remand him for a week, which would give the officer au opportunity of proceeding to Bristol to obtain evidence of the first marriage. He was accordingly remand--d for a week. T H A ,11 E S. ALLEGED EXTENSIVE SYSTEM or ROBBERY.—Yes terday Joseph Hadley Riddell, a well-dressed man, about 34 years of age, late confidential manager of the extensive chemical and white lead works of Messrs. Pontifex and Co., of Mill-wall, Poplar, was charged with embezzling and stealing property to a large amount belonging to his employers. 'I he charges were more of a general than of a definite nature, and extended over a considerable period. The prisoner had been in the employ of Messrs. Pontifex for seen years, first at a salary of 5001. per annum, which, in consequence of the busi ness not turning out so profitable as was anticipated, was afterwards reduced to 250/. It was alleged that the prisoner bad long systematically defrauded his employers by appropriating their materials, and em ploying their workmen in private business. No case was made out at present against the prisoner to %ar rant his committal, but he was remanded for a week, Mr. Yardley express-ing hie wil!ingnes to accept bail. NAVAL JILA TELLIGEN CE.
