LAW INTELLIGENCE—(Tan. 30.) COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. THE MAYOR OF NORWICH v. THE NORFOLK RAILWAY COMPANY — JUDGME NT. In this case the facts were as follows :—The defend outs were authorised by their act to construct a bridge oVer the river Yare, at a place specified in the act. They pre pared to do so, but were com p elled, owing to the want of a good foundation, to abandon the attempt, and with out the necessary authority they commenced the erec tion of the bridge in a different part of the river by forming a pier in the bed of the river. The corporation of Norwich preferred an indictment against the company for a nuisance, on the ground that the pier obstructed the navigation of the river. The indictment was found by the grand jury of Norwich, and was removed into this court. While the indictment was pending a deed was entered into by which the plaintiffs covenanted to allow the pier to remain, and the defendants covenanted to execute the works and complete the bridge of which the pier was to form a part, so that the navigation should not be interrupted, and to use their best endeavours to obtain an act of Parliament to sanction the works. Whether the company obtained an act or not they were to complete the bridge within 12 calendar months, or in default they were to pay a sum of 1,0001., recoverable in the nature of liquidated damages. An action having been brought to recov er the sum, it was pleaded that the stipulated works were not authorised by the act, to which there was a demurrer. The court had reserved their decision. The court being divided in opinion, the learned judges delivered judgment seriatim. Lord Campbell and Mr. Justice Erie (who, having heard the arguments, came into court to deliver judg ment) were of opinion that the railway company was entitled tothe judgment of the court. Mr. Justice Coleridge and Mr. Justice Wightman held contra. Rosixsoir AND WIPE I'. PHILLIPS AND ANOTHER-. ATTESTATION OF WILLS.— IMPORTANT DECISION. Lord Campbell, in delivering the judgment of the court in this case, said that the plaintiffs claimed posses sion of a house and garden under the will of William Turner deceased, and the only question was whether the will had been duly subscribed by the three attesting witnesses. The ease came under the statute of frauds. There had been no objection as to two of the witnesses, but there had been a serious diffi culty as to the third. It was proved at the trial that one of the witnesses—the witness whose attestation was objected to—William Bevan, had been sent for by the testator to attest his will, and that he signed his name at the same table as the other two wit nesses. The learned judge at the trial desired the jury t o say whether he saw the will executed by the testator, and signed by the other subscribing witnesses, and whe ther he signed it at the same time as the other subscrib ing witnesses. On the finding of the jury, the learned judge directed a verdict to be entered for the defendants, who claimed under the heir-at-law, reserving to the plain tiffs leave to more this court on the point of law. The first objection taken during the arguments was that there was nothing to show that William Bevan was a subscrib ing witness. The court thought that objection could not hold good. A more important objection was, that from the place in which his name appeared it could not be considered that the will had been subscribed by him within the meaning of the statute. William Bevan had signed on one side of the will, and the other two wit nesses on the other side, under the testator's name. It was most remarkable that there was no case in the books from which it appeared it had been decided where the subscribing witnesses were to sign a will. The statute did not point out where a will should be signed. It was difficult to conceive that the legislature intended that subscribing witnesses should sign their names at the bot tom of the will, and that the testator should sign at the top. The Court was now called upon in thia most im portant case, to put for the first time a construction on the new Wills Act of William IV., which enacted that the signature of the testator should be signed in the pre sence of two witnesses, who should subscribe their names in the presence of the testator ; but neither in that nor in the amended act of the 15th of Victoria was any place indicated where the will was to be signed by the attesting witnesses. When satisfactory proof had been given that the witnesses had been called in by the tes tator to see the proper execution of the will, was the court to hold that the will was to be void because the name of an attesting witness was not signed under neath that of the testator ? If the word subscriber were taken in its strict term, it would be a perfect nullity, but there were many authorities for a less strict acceptation of the term. Suppose a will were drawn out on four pages, and the testator in the disposition of his property occupied three pages, and the witnesses signed at the top of the fourth page, would the will be properly attested, though they did not sign under the name of the testator I Could it in such a case be intended by the legislature that the will should be void. Then, again, supposing that the will filled four pages, and a margin was left, and there was a regular testimonial clause on the fourth, or the first, second, or third pages, and the witnesses signed that testimonial clause, was a will so signed to be nullified Was any difference to be made whether the testimonial clause was on the margin or any other part of the four pages of the will In none of these cares the witnesses could have subscribed their names literally and strictly, but there was a difficulty in holding that the will would be void if the witnesses sub scribed the testimonial clause under the signature of the testator ; and if so there was a difficulty in saying i. was void if they signed their names under any part of the same paper. Clear and satisfactory proof must in all cases be required that the witnesses had been re quested by the testator to sign his will, and that they did sign it in his presence. The court was of opinice that a will was valid, though the signatures of the wit nesses were not under the signature of the testator. The court did not overlook the danger of the result of their decision, but it would not be attended with such danger as the decision that a will written on several sheets of paper with but one signature of the testator would be sufficient. And it was also to be recollected that frau dulent wills were for the most part prepared in the most formal manner. Every presumption should be made by a jury in favour of a will, where there was no doubt of the testator's intention. If the legislature in its wisdom thought that the signature of the witnesses should be placed on the same footing under the testator's name they should say so in express terms, and they would venture to express a hope that when the proposed change was effected it would be rnore felicitous than it had been by the Act of Victoria. They had now, however, only to express an opinion in this case, and they held that under the statute of frauds the will had been properly executed, and therefore judgment must be for the plaintiffs. Judgment accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Isn. 30. MANSION-HOUSE.—Robert Smith, and Million Warner were brought before the Lord Mayor under the following circumstances. There was a remarkable fact connected with this case. Warner had on the day be fore been examined as a witness against a person charged with having in his possession a quantity of linen of con siderable value, which had been obtained from the pre mises of Messrs. Chaplin and Borne, of Upper Thames street, by means of a forged order, and is in the employ ment of the same extensive firm. William Luck, 430, said—About 7 o'clock this morn ing, I was in Cheapside. I saw the two prisoners standing at the entrance of Fountain-court, ix Cheap side, and I crossed to the opposite side of the way, and watched them. I saw the prisoner Warner at the cor ner of the Court. He bad his hands up against a brass plate which was fixed at the corner of the house, No. 31, Cheapside and Fountain-court, and the other pri soner was close to him at the same time. They both stooped against this basket (producing a basket contain ing a plate.) In the course of a minute Warner lifted the basket on the head of Smith, and they walked up beside each other to the corner of Newgate-street, and Warner than stopped, and had a cup of coffee in the street. At that time I got the assistance of another police constable, and we went up to Smith and asked him what he had get in the basket, and he replied "Nothing." Parr, the constable who was with me, said, "Let us look into the basket," and then Smith threw the basket down and ran away. Parr followed and took him into custody, and I took Warner into custody. On examining the basket I found this brass plate and parts of three screws. The prisoners were taken to the station-house, and searched there, and I found on Smith a screw-driver and a knife, and on Warner a knife and 9d. Smith refused to give his address. Warner gave his correct address. The prisoners had walked together from Fountain -court to the end of New gate-street. A great many robberies of this kind have been lately committed in the neighbourhood of Cheap aide. A gentleman here stood up in court and said that he 'ffee one of the Warner managers ofChaplin and Horne's establish ment, and th at he k new to be in the employ ment of the firmyears, and to be consid ered one of their upwards of 6 The prisoner Sm ith men. said—l never saw this man (allud ing to Warn er ) before i /I.

Tha t' ° were about 2 or 3 minutes together in Fountain o When I first saw them, the basket was on the :e groun d,rt- and I saw bot h of them stoop towards it. Afterwards they lifted up their bands towards the brass plate. It was sufficiently light for me to see. There is other evi dence to prove that they have been seen together before this day. E. Williams 473) said—.f: a quarter to 7 yesterday morning, I was close to Gresham-street, and I saw the two prisoners pass up Gresham-street, towards Alders gate-street. Smith was Carrying a basket. I am cer tain that Warner was the man who was with Smith. I identify Warner by hi s d re ss . I thought it was fish they were carrying. I heard of the loss of a plate soon afterwards. • Warner (who was stated to be extremely punctual in his attendance at the wharf) denied that he had been in the neighbourhood of Cheapside on Monday morning, and said he had gone from hi. house at the west end of the town to Ramble? wharf his place of bnsiness, by quite a different route on that day. William Loreday said—l sell coff ee i n N ewgate-street in the morning. At six minutes to 7 o'clock this morn ing I saw Warner cross over from Cheapside to my nand, at the corner of Nonate-street. He came up, THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 31, 18550 seemed confused, and asked me for a cup of coffee. As soon as he had got the cup of coffee, the police constable came up and said he wanted him. When I bad served Warner with the coffee Smith passed me, with a basket, towards Newgate-street. The gentleman who paid be was one of the managers of the Hanabro' Wharf establishment, here said that Warner was the second foreman in the concern, and that the greatest confidence was placed in his integrity. The Lord Mayor then consented, under such circum stances, to take bail for Warner in the sum of 801., on that prisoner's own security, and two sureties to the amount of 40/. each. Smith was sent to prison, and the case was remanded for a few days. BOW-STREET.—Toseph liarford, a cab driver, was summoned before Mr. Henry for using abusive language and refusing to show his badge. Mr. Christopher Freer, of 17, Gloucester-crescent, stated that he engaged defendant's cab on the afternoon of the 23d inst., opposite the Senior United Service Club, in Pall-mall, and was put down at Somerset-house, in the Strand—the distance being within a mile. He ten dered a two-shilling piece, desiring the cabman to give him is. 6d. change ; but he said he had only a shilling about him. Witness procured change and gave him six pence, upon which the cabman called to a crossing sweeper, and said, in an impudent tone, ‘.‘ Hers! my boy, here's sixpence for you," at the same tune giving the lad the money. Witness asked him what he meant by such conduct, when defenda n tp ut himself in a threat ening posture, and said, "Yon sweep." Witness then demanded the man's ticket, which he reluctantly de livered ; but on asking to see his badge, to ascertain if the number on the ticket corresponded with it, he ut tered an oath, and refused to show it. Accordingly he (witness) took the number of his cab. The defendant admitted that the distance was proba bly just within the mile, but he thought the gen tl eman might have given him a shilling, considering the weather. He denied that he called complainant a sweep , and w ith respect to the badge, ho merely said that it was hanging where he always were it, and the gentleman might look at it if he liked. He admitted that he of fered to give the crossing-.sweeper the sixpence, bat he did net do it. Mr. Henry fined hint V., or a month, for using the abusive language, and 11., or ten days, for refusing to show his badge, with the costs of both summonses. The cabman was committed in default. SOUTHWARK. —Joseph Wh,itty and Thomas Murray, salesmen, in the employ of Mr. George Winter, iron merchant, Bankside, were charged with the following artful system of robbery : Thomas Heath, a workman in the employ of Mr. Cyremins Herring, coachbuilder, Westminster-road, said his master dealt with the prosecutor for iron, and on the 12th inst. he wont to the iron yard at Bankside, and saw the prisoners, and requested to be supplied with a certain weight of bar iron. They put the quantity in the scales, when Whitty asked him whether it was for himself Witness replied that it was, when they wrote something on a beard and took it to the clerk. He saw the iron weighed, and he was sure there was 561bs. more than he paid the clerk for. Whitty then followed him out and asked for half-a-crown, which witness gave him, and he treated both prisoners to a pot of beer. On the morning of the 19th, having informed his master what had occurred, and, by arrangement with his master, he on two other occasions went to the prosecu tor's iron warehouse, when the prisoners acted in the same manner. On the last occasion witness gave Murray three marked shillings, and a constable was then called in to take the prisoners into custody. Witness was cross-examined at some length by Mr. Bines for the prisoners, with an endeavour to show that he acted in concert with the prisoners, but he clearly proved that he acted ander his master's orders, and with the knowledge of the prosecutor, who marked the shil lings in his presence. The prisoners, who declined saying anything in their defence, were committed for trial. HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Return.) The present return shows that the high mortality an nounced in recent reports has undergone a further in crease. In the first three weeks of the current month the deaths registered in London were 1404, 1466, and 1549 ; in the last week they rose to 1630. Of males whose deaths are now returned the number is 791 ; of females 839. In the four weeks that ended Jan. 27 the mean weekly temperature was 45.5 deg., 39.3 deg., 28.9 deg., and (last week) 29.3 deg. In the corresponding weeks of the years 1845-54 the average number of deaths was 1102, which if raised in proportion to increase of population becomes 1211. Hence it appears that there were recorded last week 413 deaths more than the rate of mortality that prevailed is the fourth week of the last ten years would have pro duced. The mean temperature of the corresponding weeks of 1845-54 was 39.5 deg. Last week it waq considerably lower than in any of these weeks, except that of 1848, when it was 29.1 deg. Seven hundred and eleven persons under 20 years of ago, 205 at that age and under 40, 289 aged 40 years and under 60, 547 who were 60 years old but ander 6.0, and 77 ostogenariaus, died last week. If those numbers are compared with the numbers at the same ages is the pre vious week, it will be seen that the increase is confined entirely to persons who hare completed their fortieth year, the deaths of those in the earlier periods showing a decrease. Death arising from diseases of the organs of respiration increased from 336 to 427 in the last two weeks ; the average of the ten weeks corresponding to last week is only 264. Bronchitis was fatal in 239 cases, pneumonia in 137. Hooping-cough and influenza, which stand in the epidemic class, were fatal is 73 and 23 cases ; 174 persons sunk under phthisis. %carlatina destroyed 75 lives, measels 63. This last complaint rages in Norwood workhouse, where 6 children died of it last week. A. travelling newsman who had lived in Church-lane, St. Giles's, died iu U niversity College Hospital, on the 26th inst., at the age of 56 years, of " bronchitis and congestion of liver and kidneys, from cold and want of food." A boy, aged 3 years, died in the same hospital of " stone in the bladder and phimosis ; lithetomy (6 weeks), perineal fistula, diarrhoea." Last week the births of 830 boys and 822 girls—in all 1652 children, were registered in London. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1345-54 the average number was 1466. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of tke barometer in the week was 29.829 in. By 9 h. a.m. on Thursday the read had increased to 29.96 in. The mean temperature of the air in the week was 29.3 deg., which is 7.7 dog. below the average of the same week in 38 years. The mean daily temperature, which was below the average on every day el the week was 14.1 deg. below it on Sunday, and 10.5 deg. below it en Monday. The highest temperature of the week occurred on Thursday, and was 37.0 deg. ; the lowest en Sunday, and was 18.7 deg. The mean dew-point tsunperatsre was 26.6 deg., and the difference between this and the mean temperature of the air was 2.7 deg . The temperature of the water of the Thames was 37.5 deg. The general direction of the wind was north north-east. The amount of rain or melted snow was 0.44 in. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.

He did not wish to prophesy what the Crystal Palace would become, but he could not contem plate, whatever might be the result to the proprietors in that undertaking, that it could fail to pay the railway, unless, indeed, it was reduced to ruins, and the gardens become a wilderness. That was not the:place for him to enter into speculations of what the Palace would pro duce, as it would be only placing his opinion against that of Mr. Maudslay, and a year or two would pro bably decide between them. Ail that was really gua ranteed to them was, that the Brighton Company should receive the first 6,0001. out of the joint booking ; the Crystal Palace Company the next 6,0001 ; and the fur ther produce 'being afterwards divided between them in stipulated !proportions ; and seeing that 80,0001. was received in the first seven months, he did not think it very likely for the present to fall to only 6,0001. or 8,0001., and he believed even if the Crystal Palace ceased to exist altogether, the line would pay by the local traffic which would come upon it. He had been asked what was the meaning of an adver tisement put forward by the Brighton Company for water pipes, and whether they were for the use of their own company. The fact was, that they paid 5001. a-year for water at New Cross and a like sum at London-bridge ; the water being of an inferior quality which fouled the engines, Their object was to bring good and pure wa ter, which they could readily do from ERA Croydon, and, thereby, at the expenditure of 5,0001., including forcing pumps, &c., save a large portion of that 1,0001. a year. They did not propose to serve the Crystal Pa lace with water, but itit were required, and they had an excess beyond what they wanted themselves, he would not object to do so, on their receiving a fair price for it. With regard to the law expenses, they had been obliged to oppose some hills in Parliament, in justice and good faith to their neighbours ; and he was happy to say they had been successful, or otherwise they might themselves have suffered very severely in their property. After entering into one or two minor explanations, the chair man put the report, which was adopted. The dividend was then declared, and the retiring di rectors and auditors re-elected. Mr. YOUNG' then brought forward his usual motion for putting an end to Sabbath travelling, excepting in cases of necessi,ty and mercy, but it was of course nega tived, only three hands being held up in its favour. A ♦ote of thanks to the chairman closed the proceed ings. THE LONDON GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT Esq., to be Captain, Jan. 9. 2d Regiment—John Halo well Carew, Esq., to be Captain, vice Dunboyne B.

The half-yearly meeting of proprietors was held yester day at the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge ; Mr. W. Laing, the chairman of the company, presided. The ad vertisement by which the meeting had been convened having been read by the secretary, Mr. Slight, the report of the directors, which was published in The Sun of Thursday last, was taken as read. The CZAIIIIIAN then said he had to move that the re port, together with the half-yearly statement of account, be received and adopted, and in moving that resolution he would trouble the proprietors with a very few obser vations. They were aware that the Brighton meeting, coming the first of the half-yearly meetings, did, to some extent, strike the key-note to which the others were gene rally all attuned. Now, in the present case, the state of things shown to the Brighton proprietors in the report already issued was not so encouraging as those which they bad been accustomed to see for some time past. But it must be manifest to every one who paid attention to these matters that railways were, i❑ common with most other branches of business at present, feeling the effects of the depression which invariably resulted from war, dearness of provisions, and the stats of the money market. The first fact which must strike them was, that the large increase of receipts on the Brighton line for the last half-year—upwards of 30,0001.—was not at tended with any increase of dividend ; and when they come to look closely into the figures stated in the report, they would, he thought, see that the reasons for such a result were sufficiently apparent. It was evident that during the past six months the increased amount of traffic bad flown from a new source—viz., the Crystal Palace opening ; while, with respect to the traffic of the Brighton line proper, the increase which had been going on for some years past had, during the period referred to, been arrested, if, indeed, it had not become einiteistationary. That was a result which, he thought, could be reasonably anticipated, and of which they had no reason to complain. The war must affect the traffic of the Brighton Railway more than that of most other lines ; and when they looked at the additional income tax, and the in creased prices of all means of life, they were• not to be surprised that the traffic of the main line was stationary. What surprised him was that, under such adverse cir cumstances, the receipts of the Brighton line should have so kept up for a long period past. It was mani fest to him that, as soon as the tide turned and peace should, with God's blessing, be restored, a similar state of prosperity to that which marked the increase of their traffic between 1848 and last year—viz., from 450,0001. to upwards of 700,0001., would be realised ; but while the present state of things prevailed all he could say was, that it would be unreasonable to expect any further increase of traffic, and that they must make up their minds to some degree of suffering in railway as well as in other descriptions of property. If they could keep up their dividend to 5 per cont., which it attained in 1853, they might consider themselves very fortunate. It must be equally apparent to the proprietors that, while their receipts had become stationary, the expenditure had increased. The reason of that was very plain to any one who understood the progress of the railway system. The effect of high prices in materials, and the rise in wages which they experienced some time ago, and the effect of an increased establishment necessary to meet the demands upon an increase of traffic, all led to an augmentation of expenditure, which could not, of course, produce for some short period a commensurate increase of traffic, so that the increase of expenditure was naturally in arrear of the receipts. He would mention a few articles on which a material increase in price had taken place. In the single article of coke, consumed fer the past six months, as compared with that used for the correspond ing period of the previous year, the increase had not been less than 5,5571. This was a result which had inevitably followed, for instance, the rise in the cost of freight; for whereas the cost of carriage had been 6s. er 7s. per ton only, they had had it, during the last half year, as high even as 13s. or 14s. per ton. In fact, he found the same observations would apply to all other materials used by them. In the locomotive department the expense of stares had increased from 7,7001. to 10,6001.—0 n increase of upwards of 40 per cent. ; and in the carriage and waggon department the expenditure had increased from 8,7001. to 11,2001. If a period of permanent depression should exist in the country, and the traffic of the line should suffer, the directors would apply a system of retrenchment with a ♦igorous hand, but he thought the proprietors would agree with hint that until it was quite clear 'such a period had come upon us it would be inwise to make any sweeping alteration in the accommodation afforded to the public. (Hear,. hear.) He would now simply say a few wards in reference to the working of the Cry stal Palace traffic. He thought the figures given in the report must be satisfactory. Mr. MA lIDSL IT —NO no . The CHAIRMAN—The hon. proprietor said "no, no,' but the figures said that they had received from that source of income a total of 37,9381., •r in round num bers, 38,000. The annual expenditure of working that traffic had been, as near as might be, 15,0011., including an allowance for depreciation of stock, &c. The actual money expended was less than 15,000/. Such was the result of seven months' traffio a the Crystal Palace. Tke ex penditure incurred in reference to the Crystal Palace branch and the enlargement of the London-bridge sta tion was 200,0001., which included 60,0001. for the sup ply of rolling stock for working the traffic. The actual expenditure for rolling stock had been 58,0001., and the other expenditure was 114,0001. up to this time. Five per cent. on the 200,0001. would be 10,0001. (this would be for the year, not for the seven months), and this sum, together with the 15,000/. already mentioned, making together 25,0001., would have to he deducted from the total receipts of 33,0001., in respect to the Crystal Palace traffic of the seven months. This showed clear a profit of 13,0001.; and he believed that if they had not had the benefit of that traffic, they would not have been able to pay the present dividend. He then moved the adoption of the report and accounts. Considerable conversation then took place, in which Mr. Maudslay, Mr. Herapath, and Mr. Bell were the principal speakers, but the tenour of their observations will be=sufficiently indicated by the reply of The CHAIRMAN, who said it was true they had 51,0001. preference stock on hand, and it had not been issued because the shareholders did net take it all up at the time ; and the directors would not be now doing justice to the company if they were to issue it at less than the market value, at which Mr. Hera path or any other shareholder might have it. As re garded the suggestion of a proprietor for issuing tickets for the line in different parts of the metropolis the question should be taken into consideration, the di rectors being desirous of affording every possible faci lity to the public. He would now come to that most important queition which regarded the West-end line. The only arrangement which existed on the subject was that with the West-end Crystal Palace Company, whereby this company had guaranteed this 8,0001. for the use of their line when made. Since that arrange. ment had been entered into, the state of the country and the money market had very materially altered, and there would probably be some difficalty in constructing the line, excepting upon terms to which that proprietary was not likely to consent. Another important bill had passed for constructing a Westminster termini's in Victoria-street. He did not think, however, that under present circumstances could be carried out, ex cept at a cost so frightful as not likely to be contem plated. They then took into consideratien the alter native of forming a junction with the South-Western, and arrangeneeets had been entered into, upon which negotiations might perhaps hereafter be founded. There was a large space of vacant ground facing the York road, and immediately abutting on Hungerford, Wa terloo, and the new Westminster bridge, which might be obtained for the purposes of a station. This spot would be peculiarly convenient for carriage traffic, theugh perhaps not quite so convenient for pedestrians as the other places. No specific arrangement had been entered into with regard to terms, or they would have been mentioned in the report. All that had been determined upon between the two companies was, that, if upon con sideration of the expenses, they were found such as would justify their recommending the proprietors to un dertake it, the Brighton Company should have a separate station, and pay the South-Western a mileage rate for the four miles of their line to be run over. They had not been able to get any further until they knew what the expenses would be, and then nothing would be done without the opinion of a special meeting of the share holders being first taken on the subject. All that had really been done was to promote a bill in Parliament, which he believed would be unopposed, to authorise arrangements hereafter being made between the London and Brighton, the south-Western, and West-end and Crystal Palace Companies, if deemed desirable—subject to the consent of three-fifths of the shareholders being obtained ; and the expense of carrying the bill, if unop posed, was to be borne in equal proportions between the three companies. Beyond that they had not gone. With regard to the arrangements with the East Grim stead and Bognor linos, he was sorry to find that Mr. Maudslay had forgotten what he (Mr. Laing) had said to him on the subject. In the report of January, 1853, the directors had told them that they had entered into an agreement te rent the East Grimstead line at 2,0001. a-year--or, until the consent of Parliament was ob tained, legalising that arrangement, to work it on a traffic arrangement producing that amount. After some discussion that report was adopted by a show of hands, and no ballot was demanded—consequently he consi dered it binding ; and the only way by which he knew they could attempt to get rid of it, and even then he did not consider they would be successful, would bo by changing their directors. This he did tell Mr. Mauds lay, that whenever they went to Parliament to legalise the arrangement, it could be opposed on the Wharn cliffe order, but in the meantime it must be ad hered to. The gross earnings on the East Grim stead line were guaranteed not to fall below 2,0001., reckoning from East Grinstead to any place en the main line to which the traffic might go ; and to show that it was not likely to do so, he might mention that on the Horsham line, which was of the same length, and precisely similar, though on the opposite side of the main line, the gross receipts were 16,3401., and the ex pense of working 2,700/. ; and he had little doubt a similar result would be obtained on the Grimstead line, which he believed would be shortly ready for working. To avoid all mistakes, he might menti on th a t a s i m il ar agreement had been b rought: before them and approved at the meeting alluded to in January, 1853. With re gard to the position and 'powers of the hoard, it might appear that sometimes they had too much posedt apart from the shareholders; but if the proprietors differed with them in policy, they ought to do as they did in thelleuse of Commons, remove them from. office. With regard to the 45,0001. expended from capital on new working stock, it had been, required for the Crystal Palace, hut was all applicable to other traffic when required. As regarded the closing of their capital account, it could not be done WAR-OFFICE, JAN. 26.

MEMORANDUM.—The date of Lieutenant Samuel Skey Burton's Commission has been altered, so as to place him next belowLioutenant Sanderson in the list of Lieutenants. WiawickehiroXilitia,-16t Regiment—Robert Borthwiek, NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE. The half-yearly meeting of proprietors was held yes terday, at the Euston-square terminus of the London and North-Western Railway—Mr. Ricardo, M.P., was in the chair. The report of the directors, which we gave in our columns a few days since, was taken as read. The CIAIRMAN said he thought that considering the cold weather, they would not be sorry to hear he had very few observatiens to add to the report before them. The fact was, that they were in a transition state, and the directors really had nothing to report to them, ex cept that the dividend was regularly paid under the agreement (already laid before them) with the Lon don and North-Western Company, and that it was now proposed to pay, for the past six months, a dividend at the rate of 34 per cent. per annum. He bad some diffi culty in making any observations on the amalgamnatio❑ bill which they had before Parliament, and which they intended to prosecute this year, because he was per fectly aware that anything which fell from him would be taken advantage of by those who were still opposing the company, although he was happy to say that the principal part of the opposition would not appear against the on this occasion. The fact was that the North Staffordshire line was originally intended to be part and parcel of the London and North London Railway, and was made under the auspices of the London and Birmingham Company ; and he did not think they (the North Staffordshire pro prietors) would, os the present occasion hear anything against the amalgamation, except from those canal in terests whose promoters thought the prosecution of the measure too good an opportunity to lose for attempting to benefit their shareholders , He believed that there was only one opposition on the last occasion which gave him any concerti, and that was the opposition of the Chamber of Commerce of the Staffordshire Potteries. He bad represented that place for a considerable period, and was very sorry to fiud himself in the least degree in opposition to his constituents. He had, since the time alluded to, had several interviews with them, and he must say, that if they had not altogether changed their views on the subject, they had greatly modified them, and he thought the majority of his constituents would, at all events, believe that in prosecuting this amalgama tion he was acting for their interests, and that if he had to choose between then and the enrichment of the North Staffordshire Company, he should not hesitate a moment to leave the railway. He would not lend himself to anything in opposition to the welfare of his constituents, and it was because he, believed it was to the interest of the towns in his district to be brought in cennection with the great highway to Man chester, and to have additional accommodation afforded to them and to the trade of North Staffordshire, that he was anxious to effect the amalgamation, quite indepen dent of any pecuniary advantage which some people might think tb,e shareholders would obtain by it. Hs' was satisfied CeNt the members of the Potteries Chamber of Commerce v t men whose high position and charac ter forbade the.nja of their lending themselves as tools to those who thought they would advance their own in terests at the expense of the North Staffordshire Com pany. Ho made these observations because he thought they would go forth to hi" - ;snstituents, and he had no thing further to add, exo.l)t that he believed the direc tors would, at thenext meeting, ask their permission for the passing of the Amalgamation Bill, which would then be placed beyond danger. He concluded by moving the adoption of the retort and accounts. The motion was, after a short conversational discus. sion, carried unanissously. The dividend at the rate of 3i per cent. having bees declared, the meeting broke up after a cordial vote of thanks to the clairman and directors for the able manner in which ;hey had conducted the affairs of the company.

The melee conaraenced on Monday, abent three p.m., by some lads taking posses sion of one of the large heaps •f snow which had been scraped off the flags and depoeted in the various corners of the area, who commenced throwing balls of snow at some of the clerks of the offices in the vicinity, who promptly returned the balls. The interchange soon be came pretty general, and was conducted with good feel ing on both sides until the arrival if the police, who were set upon by both parties, and, after making one or two arrests, compelled to leave the area. The com batants then resumed their place:, and for some time the firing was continued with great spirit, and to the great detriment of the windows in the Exchange News room, &c. The mayor, at four p.m., accompanied by Mr. Alderman Bold and several of the merchants, ap peared on the flags, and hostilities were suspended—the mayor addressing the belligerents in a quiet, good humoured manner, and the large assembly soon dis persed, cheering loudly for his worship.
