APPLICATION TO THE VICE.CHA.NCELLOR— (THIS DAY.) This afternoon Mr. 'Myld, and several other gentle men, forming a deputation from the depositors in the Royal British Bank, waited upon Vice-Chancellor Kin dersley, at his Court in Lineolif.-inn, for the purpose of presenting to him the following memorial:— " London, 18th November, 1856. " To his Honour the Vice• Chancellor Kindersley. " Sir,—We the undersigned, being the Committee of Depositors in the Royal British Bank, appointed at a gene ral public meeting, venture respectfully to bring to your Honour's attention the destitute condition of a large number of the depositors to whom an imme diate distribution -of the available assets of the bank is of the most serious importance. The interests of so many thousands of sutlering creditors are involved that we have no hesitation in requesting your honour to postpone the consideration of the general or routine business of your court in order that you may be enabled to pronounce immediate judgment upon the questions before you, the effect of which will be the speedy distribution of the available assets. "We do not pretend to express any opinion upon those questions, but the committee are naturally anxious that the interests of those whom they represent, and so many of whom are really in a state of destitution, should for a time take precedence of ordinary business. The fearful consequences of delay and the mag nitude of the calamity which has befallen so many of the industrious classes must plead our excuse for thus some what irregularly trespassing upon your Honour's atten tion. . . \Vo have the honour to remain, sir, " JAmas WILD, Chairman. " JOHN Itonuirrs. .12.11 ES G. WAKLEY. " RICHARDSON. BENJAIIIN - FORSTER.' " GEo. JAS. " 11. S. GILLING. " PETER BROWN. "'ALFRED For.K.E3." Mr. Wyld pointed out in a short, but very effective address, the state of misery, destitution, and suffericc,rs which the depositors were aperiencing from the con tinued postponement cf his Honour's judgment, and urged that he would recive and act upon the memorial which they desired to pre.seut. The Vice-Chancellor said be could nut receive the memorial, which must conic through the ordinary chan nels of the eourt. In this ease he could not pronounce a rash and hasty juhuient, but he would bring the pro ceedings to a close with as little delay as possible. Mr. Wyld again urged upon the •VicM.;naneellor to receive the inommial, which, however, he declined to do, and the deputation then retired. The fact of a non-professional advocacy of such a case in a chancery court created much excitement up•in the legal gentlemen who were in attemiance, a feeling which also seemed to be shared in by the bench.

GREAT NORTH OF SCOTLAND. The annual meeting of the shareholders of this com pany was held on Friday, in the Royal Hotel, Aberdeen, Sir James D. FL Elphinstone, the chairman of the com pany, presiding. The report of the directors having been held as read, The CHAIRMAN stated that since last year what might be called the Great North of Scotland line proper had been completed by the extension to Keith—railway un• dertaking further northwards being by arrangement in the hands of another company. The gross receipts for the year ending 31st August last amount to_ 46,368/. odds, and the expenditure, including interest,.to 25,3011., leaving a free balance of 21,0661. The gross revenue last year was 34,1231., so that there had been an increase during the twelvemonth of 12,245/. A similar increase next year would bring the shares up to par. The amount of increased traffic by the opening of the line to Keith had been highly satisfactory, and promised to be still more so. The number of passengers carried during the year had been 313,011--the previous year 244,758, and an increase at about the same ratio had been ex perienced in general goods, live stock, &a. The receipts for the current financial year up to the Bth instant, exceed those from the same period of last year by upwards of 2,0001., or at the rate of between 10,0001. and 11,0001. per annum. The stock of the company had been carefully attended to, and orders given for several new engines. The increase of traffic which had been thrown on the Great North line by the opening of the four mile Oldmeldrum branch had satisfied the directors that their policy in regard to these branch lines was the true one, and that they would prove highly remunera tive to the company for their subscriptions. The ground would be taken for the Turriff branch shortly, and by July next year he expected to see it completed. Sir James then went over various items in the report, and stated that the directors had revised the original scterue of bringing the Great North line down the valley of the ' Denburn, and so concentrating all the railway traffic at ' one place, as it would there join the South line ; and ' said that the directors had resolved again to prosecute bill in Parliament for the construction of a line through Buchan and Formartine ; and from the sup port they had now received and the improvements they had made in the route of railway he was most sanguine of success. In order to show they were in earnest in the matter, the directors intend to subscribe to the Buchan line 50,0001. in place of the 15,0001. of last year. (Hear.) Tae subscriptions to the various branches stood thus :—Spey Junction, 40,000/. ; Tur riff, 40,0001. ; Turriff and Banff, 5,0001. Oldmeldrum, 2,0001. ; AlfGrd, 15,0001. ; Formartine, 50,060/. ; total, 152,0001. After providing for the above there would be 400,0001. and upwards of available funds. With the exception of the increase, from 15,0001. to 50,0001., to the Formartine and Buchan line, which was objected to by 31€113rs. Bremner and Mitchell, contrac tors, the report and statement of accounts were unani mously agreed to, and the following resolutions passed : "That a dividend, payable on the 20th current, be and is hereby declared upon the preference shares of the company, at the rate of 51. per cent, per annum, under deduction of iLcome tax. "That a dividend, payable at same date, be paid on the original or postponed shares of 'the company, at the rate of 21. ss. per cent, per annum, under deduction of in come tax." Several of the directors were re-elected, and Mr. Augu stus Sinclair appointed auditor of the company in place of Mr. Notman resigned. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the busi ness. FURTHER OPENING OF THE GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY OF CANADA. On the 27th Oct. the section of the Grand Trunk Rail way from Toronto to Montreal, in length 335 miles, was opened to traffic, completing the route from Quebec to Stratford. At Toronto there is railroad connection with different parts of Upper Canada and the Western States. So that the completion of the road will place Montreal in railway connection with the seaboard and all the prin cipal commercial cities on the continent—those on the Pacific Ocean excepted. The public and the press of Canada appreciate the greatness of the event, and preparations were making for celebrating it publicly on the 12tb Nov. by public re joicings. The Montreal Globe says—" This, undoubtedly, is a most notable event in the history of our country, and we heartily congratulate our readers upon it. We have assailed the manner in which the enterprise has been prosecuted—we have at no time denied the vast import ance of the work." The Montrcll Pilot says :—"There was a large num ber of through passengers by the train yesterday, who pronounce the road to be in splendid working order." Toe Toronto Leader of Oct. 2S, describing the open ing, says :—" The first train from Toronto to Montreal left the Don station about half-past six o'clock yester day morning, and not a few,availed themselves of this the earliest opportunity of proceeding to Montreal by rail. The train arrived in Montreal shortly after ten o'clock, p.m. The morning train left Montreal at half past seven, a.m., same day, and arrived here about 11 o'clock, although it went at a very slackened speed on many portions of the road, as a matter of precaution — it consisted of seven smell-filled cars. By this train we received four of the ISlontraal papers—Gazette, Herald, Transcript, and Advertiser—of Monday morning. It is certainly a novel feature in the history of Canadian travelling, when the papers printed in Montreal can be read in Toronto the same day. On the arrival of the train at Cobourg, on the upward trip, the following ad• dress was presented by Mr. Sheriff Rattan, on behalf of the mayor, to the engineer-in -chief, Mr. A. M. Ross "To the President and Directors of the Grand Trunk Railway. "On behalf of the municipality of Cobourg I beg to transmit to you their earnest congratulations upon ais auspicious event, the first opening pessage over the Mon treal and Toronto section of the Grand Trunk Railway. With this day commences a new era in thC history of Canada—the benefits conferred by the consummation of your labours in the great work of construction have been but dimly foreshadowed. The inhabitants of Cobourg have uniformly taken the most lively interest in the proeress of this magnificent highway ; and now beg to assure you of the hearty co-operation in all endeavours to develop the traffic of this important section of co entry. Already they have enlarged the port of C ibourg to accommodate the business that will naturally flow from New York to the north shores of Lake Ontario, heretofore conveyed by coasting steamers, or by the leng,thened route of the Suspension-bridge; and no effort shall be wanting on their part in all those facilities sub servient to your line. The inhabitants of Cubourg bear testimony to the expeditious, skilful, and admirable manner in which your railway has been constructed, and that without trouble or annoyance to the population along the line by the labourers in your empoly ; and it is now their earnest wish that this grand enterprise may be attended with profits ample to reward those who have embarked their capital in it.—l have the honour to be, g entlemen, your obedient servant, " D. E. BOULTON, Mayor." To this Mr. Ross replied as follows : " Mr. Mayor and Geetlemeu,—l do assure you I re ceive, with heartfelt gratitude, the complimentary ad dress your good feelings have prompted you to present. I regard it •as evidence of that goodwill which should always be found to subsist between communities, as between man and man ; and on behalf of the Grand Trunk Railway, may I return youmy most sincere thanks for this gratifying demonstration of your appreciation of their labours, which are now about being brought to a close by the completion of a long and important line of railway calculated to confer lasting and permanent bene fits upon every town and country which it intersects— and certainly none more so than the town of Cobourg— which at this time, it is but justice to say, has through out evinced the most praiseworthy des.re to promote • and further its &ejects, the good effect of which I do hope and trust will be no less abundantly felt than I am quite sure they will be on all occasions amply ap preciated by you. " Our time you are aware is short ; the train must proceed on its course, and for the present I wish you all good bye and much future happiness." • There are 64 stations in the following order, from Montreal to Stratford, inclusive :—Montreal, Blue B nets, Pointe Claire, St. Anne's, Vaudreuil, Cedars, Co teau Landing, River Beudette, Laneaster, Summerstown, Cornwall, Afoulinette, Dickinson's Landing, Aulteville, Williamsburg, Matilda, Edwardsburg, Prescott Junc tion, Prescott, Maitland, Brockville, Lynn, Mallorytouw, Lansdown, Gananoque, Kingston Mills, Kingston, Do., Collins' Bay, Ernestown, Napanee, 'ryandenaga, Shan nonville, Belleville, Trenton, Brighton, Colborne, Graf ton, Cobourg, Port Hope, Port Britain, Newtonville, Newcastle, Boweranville, Oshawa, Port Whitby, Duffin's Creek, Frenchman's Bay, Port Huron, Scarborough, East York, Toronto East, Toronto West, Weston, Brampton, Georgetown, Acton West, Rockwood, Guelph, Berlin, Petersburg, Hamburg, Shakspeare, Stratford. The greatest interval between #o next stations is 14 miles, but many of the station? are only four, five, or six, and some only one or t wo miles apart. The whole distance from Montreal to Stratford is 421 miles. lucreased facilities appear to be attended by a general social activity : " There is an intense energy (says the Montreal Witness of Nov. 1) about Montreal at present. The business streets are being paved in the most substan tial manner ; the avenues to the city and roads in the outskirts are graded and macadamised ; handsome foun tains are in process of erection ; trees are being planted out ; rows of dwelling houses of an elegant and substan tial and elegant description are going up in various treesnd a andt the m warehouses sa e time mostoftle largest, gmostnumber substantial, of a elegant kind, are approaching completion. The great wharf for our ocean steamships, below the current, is finished, as are the railway buildings on the western side of the city. Labourers, mechanics, manufacturers, mer chants, in a word, all classes are at work, with all their might, and the results make their appearance with almost magical celerity. Nor in all this material advancement are the pulpit, the press, the college, or the school ne• glected.

On . the return of the Lord Mayor, Mr. Lewis proceeded to cross examine the witness. He said—l have stated all I know about Burgers in connection with the robbery. lam 40 years of age. I am not a forger, nor ever forged or uttered a forged instrument. I was convicted on false evidence for ut tering forged instruments. I have received the pro - - :eerie of four or five forgeries of bankers' cheques in small amounts. I knew a man of the name of Nash, who was transported. He was an acquaintance of mine. I never received from him the proceeds of forged checks or bills. I have received money from him. Mr. Lewis pressed the witness on these transactions, but he declined answering the questions, and appealed to the Lord Mayor. The Lord Mayor told the witness he need not answer the questions if he did not like. Witness continued—l have stated what I have done, and I'decline to state anything connected with the trans actions alluded to. I have rustle false keys for five years past. During the past twelve years I have passed by the names of Whitfield, Adams, Agar, Richardson, and Archer. Agar is my real name, but I mostly went by the name of Archer. I have known Seward six or seven years, and had many transactions with him by dis counting 'bills for persons he has introduced to me. The bills so discounted were tradesmen's trifle, and not the result of stolen produce. I read and knew of Seal being in castody for the robbery. I have seen Seal, but I don't know him. He formerly kept a betting office in Bedford-street. I read Seal's examination in the newspapers. I did not trouble :my head about coming forward. I looked at it as only a casual matter. Wit ness declined to answer how he had obtained his living for the last ten years. I lived in Chiswell-street as a servant, but no robbery took place in the establishment whilst I was there. I never heard till now of a robbery having taken place at Mrs. Davis's, where I lived as a servant. I never heard of an action being brought against the foreign railways for this robbery. I have visited America six or severe times during the last ten years. I never took property there for sale. I have taken bank notes there. By Mr. Bodkin—Seward is about 45 years of age. He is rather stout, and about 5 feet 1 inch or 5 feet 2 inches in height. There are two brothers, Henry and James. The wan I referred to is called James. He is of a dark complexion, with dark hair. Cross-examination continued—On my return I have brought my money back again, and as much more as I could make. Seward has written one or two letters for me, but I can't remember on what occasion nor when. I can write myself. After Seward has written the let ters for me I have not been in receipt of money in con sequence. I and Pierce went to Sterne's and met Burgess, knowing he used the place. I can't say if the meetings were by accident or design. We Inew the time Burgess's tram would arrive, and we went to Sterne's expecting to see him. Some meetings were by appointment, but it is impossible for me now to say which and when they were. I always knew the train Burgess was on. He continued on one train for a month at a time. I have known him to be ow a train for two months at a time, The keys were tried seven or eight times before they were found to fit, and it ex tended over a period of probably three months. Bur gess was always in the van. It was the break van. Sometimes the van was next the tender, and at other times a carriage was between them. The guard ,in the break van can see through a window in front the engine. man and stoker, but they cannot see into all the vans. The guard carries a light in his van. I think on the night of the robbery the ens,sine-driver and stoker might have looked into the van. We commenced operations as soon as the train started, and had one of the boxes open when we got to Reigate. We made no loud knocking, and I doubt if they could have heard it. After the robbry was committed I saw nothing of Burgess till the division of the spoil at Pierce's house at Kilburn. I cannot say how long that was after the robbery, nor the day of the week on which the division took place. I can't give the month, day, or week when 'this took place. It must have been shortly before my arrest. Mr. Lewis declined further cross-examining the wit ness until a future day, when the boxes in which the gold was packed are to be produced. The witness was re-examined by Mr. Bodkin, and minutely described the formation of the break van and the window in front with the sliding dew shutting off the luggage ; the iron safes were placed at the back par t of the van, and where the boxes were broken open no one could see it. On one occasion during that night Burgess hung his, cape in fres at of the window. Fanny Kay, a respectable-hroltiug female, was next called and put into the witness box before Agar left. They smiled at each other and shook hands, and en Agar's leaving she followed him out of the court and re mained a few moments. On her return she was sworn, and deposed—My name is Fanny Polars Kay. lam 25 years of age, and unmarried. I was formerly engaged 15 months in the refreshment room at Tunbridge station. I there formed an azquatutance with Burgess, who was a guard, by his coming into the room. I lived with Agar as his wife about two years ; gad I have a child now about 2 years and 7 months old. I was introduced to Agar by 'Burgess at London-bridge station in -the name of Adams. Burgess said Agar was a. friend of his ; that led to an intimacy, and ultimately to nry living with film. I commenced living with him on 11.1 i June, 1853, in Marg,aret,lttreet, Oxford-street. We c‘ent from there to Southampton in June and remained till October, residing after that at Greenwich. lie left me there, and I went to the Kent-road. I lived with him at Cambridge-villas, Shepherd's-bush, in Septemher, 1851, and remained till July following. Agar occa sionally bad lodgings elsewhere when I lived with him. I had seen Pierce iu Burgess's company previous to rosy being introduced to Agar. Agar called him Peckham, and he answered to that name. Burgess never addressed Pierce by name in my presence. Pierce once resided in Walnut-tree-walk. P.urgess, Pierce, and Agar appeared on intimate terms. I only saw Burgess and Agar toge ther once at the Green Man, in Tooley-street. I have seen Pierce and Agar frequently together. When I resided with Agar in Harleyford-place ;Pierce was fre quently there. I had a servant at that time, named Charlotte Baker. Agar did not live with me there ; Ire came only occasionally, and brought Pierce with him. He lived with me at No. 3, Cambridge-villas. She cur robdrated Agar's evidence as to Pierce's visits there, and his frequently using the wash-house for hours toge ther, with Agar. The windows of the wash-house were whitened, and the door fastened, to prevent my knowing what they were doing. I used to hear hammering and filing in the wash-house. They had a charcoal firein the wash-house, and they treed to fill the copper with water. Charlotte Baker left rue about 21st May, 1855. Pierce and Agar continued working in the wash-house up to the time of her leaving. The witness corroborated Agar as to his having several courier bags in the house at that time, and other particulars relating to the doings of the two, which it is not necessary to repeat. She added, Agar had a great many tools, which he kept in a green painted box, which was kept in different parts of the house. A lar g e iron bound trunk was kept in the bedroom locked, and Agar kept the key. On one occasion Pierce and Agar came home with two bags in a cart containing charcoal. Tne witness was some time under examination, but her evidence was en tirely correborative of Agar's relative to his and Pierce's actions at the latter's residence. When they were occu pied in the first floor back room she heard a roaring noise like a furnace, and hammering. Once she looked momentarily int ) the room and saw the stove was taken out, Pierce and Agar were there at the time, and there was a bright fire in the fireplace. They ran over and s h u t the door. When they came down to their meals they appeared vary dirty and hot. On one occasion I asked them what they were about, and they replied "Leather apron weaving".—a cant term for " Mind your own business." I afterwards saw Pierce bring down large bricks (fire bricks) in a pail and put them in the coal cellar. I last saw Agar on 11th June. He left me very hastily. After he left me I went into the back bed• room and I found the stove put into its place and black ened, and the floor burnt in a few places. I know a person named Tester. I knew him at Tunbridge. hl have heard Pierce and Agar f. peak of him, but I never saw him at C a mbridge-villas. The day before Agar was apprehended I appointed to s-re Pierce and Collier., the person who had my child, at the Duke of Clarence, Notting-hill. I found Pierce and Agar there. Agar gave tire child tee Pierce, who took the child away in a . c b. I was to inset Agar on a subsequent day, but I found from Pierce he had been apprehended in the meantime. At that time I received 101. from Pierce, 61, after, and subsequently 10/. Last January I went to him at Pierce's house at Kilburn-villa ; I there saw Agar's trunks, gold watch, and chain. I lived there till April, w hen I left on account of a quar rel. Th e wa t c h ha's a view of Winchester Cathedral on the face, and the initials "F. R. A." After I left Pierce paid me 10e. a week. I was ill, and wrote to bins for assistance in May last, and he sent me 101. I have had nothing of him since. I first made a communica tion of what I knew about two months since. Mrs. Pierce has occasionally given me 10e. When I lived at his house I saw Pierce with a great many notes. I first gave information to Mr. Weatherhead, the governor of Newgate. At that time I had no means of supporting myself and child. Shortly after that I saw Mr. Rees, solicitor to the company, who has since provided ine and my child with the means of support. I had previ ously to this gone to Pierce's for my child's cloth es, but they were refused um After waiting there seine time in the kitchen Pierce came down stairs and said to one " What do you want ?" I said my child's clothes ; he said "Do you," caught me by the hairjof the head, drag ged me round the kitchen, and very much ill-used me. Cross-examined by Mr. \Vontner—l have not received 1501. from Pierce. I have received of him 251., 101., 51., and 10/., and 10e. per week. I went there on one occa sion to take the child away with the clothes it had. I never went there and endeaveured to take it away naked. After I left Pierce I amain went to reside at Shepherd's bush, and from thence to Greenwich, where I now re side. I have not been to Portland. I was taken away by a man whom I don't know, in a cart from Sitepl:erd's bush. The man was accompanied by Mr. Chapman, a gentleman in Mr. Itee's office. I have not seen Agar since. I took the child from Pierce. I have written to him twice since. I did not know Pierce on the line. Cross-examined by Mr. Lewis—l was dismissed from Tunbridge because I left the station against the rules' of tee company. I was in distress for some time after I left the station. Burgess never gave me any assistance in money. I had been away from the station 12 months before 1 knew Agar, and bad got rid of the gentleman through w h om I was dismissed from Tun r, nhiary support,idge.Mr. Rees does not allow me any money fo but he pays my board and lodging for me. No period is fixed for the termination of that support. Mr. Lewis asked the witness where she at present resided Mr. Bodkin objected to the question. and directed the witness not to give the required information. At the proper time for her entering into recognisAnces she should give her address. Mr. Lewis protested against such conduct. Mr. Bodkin said that at present the ends of justice would be defeated if the address was given. The Lord Mayor said that, under the circumstances, he could not allow the question to be put. Mr. Lewis said it was a monstrous proceeding, and to get her address he must adopt another course and have her watched home. Here was a woman whose living was paid for by the prosecution, and it was desirable to ascertain her whereabouts to make some inquiries about her. Mr. Bodkin said that at present he advised the wit ness not to answer the question. The witness declined accordingly to answer the ques- tiou. I had no instructions given me not to see any person pending this inquiry. My child is now living with me. She took half a sovereign once from Agar when he was counting gold—• 1001. at least. By Mr. Bodkin—Before Mr. Rees provided me and my child with support we were destitute. Before that I was living in part of a roam with a friend. I saw Agar after his conviction at Pentonville, in the presence of Mrs. Pierce, but I never had any conversation with hire about this robbery. I first knew of it in February or March last, from Mrs. Pierce. It being five o'clock Mr. Bodkin proposed an adjourn ment, as there were a great many witnesses more to be examined. Mr.. Lewis said, from what he had heard, the case was likely to occupy several weeks, and he therefore asked that Pierce should be admitted to bail, as the trial could not come off before the January session. The Lord Mayor decided on refusing hail under any circumstances. Mr. Bodkin said that as the prosecutors would have to go abroad for Tester it would be desirable to postpone the case for some period, and he suggested a formal re mand of eight days. Ultimately the further examination of the prisoners was remanded till one o'clock on Monday next. Thera are upwards of 60 witnesses to be examined for the prosecution. ST. ARV IN MARYLEBONE. Yesterday afternoon, at 3 o'clock, Mr. Wakley, coroner for the western division of Middlesex, and a jury of the inhabitants of Marylebone, assembled at the Marylebone Workhouse, New-road, to investigate the death of Eliza beth Mann, alias Franklin, the unfortunate woman who was found in a dying state, huddled up with her four children, in a state of nudity, in a, room of 7, Walnier place, Crawford-street, under the shocking circumstances briefly noticed in Tire San of Saturday last. The proceedings excited intense interest, and a large number of the directors and guardians of the poor were present. The Coroner inquired if there were any relatives of the deceased woman present to give evidence. Mr. Boyle, the summoning officer, said the whole of the children were in bed in the workhouse, but that Mr. Mushet, the surgeon, stated that it would endanger the life of the elder girl if she were removed to give evidence. The respective ages of the children are Elizabeth, 13, Eliza, 12, Susan, 10, and James, 6 years. Mr. William Boyd Mushet was the first witness exit mined. He said he was surgeon of the workhouse, and at present medical officer of the infirmary. The deceased was brought there about 7 o'clock on the evening of Thursday last. She was quite insensible. He saw her on Friday morning, when she was in the same condition. Her pulse was low, but she was able to swallow a little wine. She died about 11 o'clock on that morning. He had made a post martens examination of the body twenty hours after death. The body was in a dirty state. There was alight ecchymosis about the thighs. Deceased appeared about 42 years Of age, and was a well-formed woman. Tile immediate cause of death was in the head. There was a tumour about the size of a walnut, only perfectly round, at the base of the brain. There was about 2ez. of serum at the base of the skull, and there was congestion of the blood vessels of the membranes of the brain. The heart wa; healthy and the stomach was empty. The cause of death he should take to he effusion iota the brain. Mrs. Mary Splinters said she resided at 7, Walnaer place, Crawford-street, and was about leaving the house on Thursday night last, as the landlady said she expected the broker to be put in for rent. She was not aware that any one was up stairs until Thursday evening between 4 and 5 o'clock, when, on going into the back yard, she saw a boy perfectly naked picking up some crumbs of bread lying about and eating them. She was much asto nished, and told her husband, who was sitting at tea, and then brought the little child into the room, asd, seeing some bread ou the table, he craved for it, and her-hus band gave him some. They then ascertained from him that he had a mother and borne/sisters up stairs, and, at the - desire of her husband, she went up with him to the first floor back room, to which he pointed as being the place where she would find his mother and sisters. She opened the door and a shocking picture presented itself ; the poor mother lay in one corner of the room, and the other children crouched near her, one of the elder chil dren being doubled quite up, her head being on her feet. They all were as naked as they were born. She endea voured to rouse the woman, but she appeared quite in. sensible. She then came down and told her husband what had happened, and that she thought he had better go for a policeman, or do something- lie went for Mr. Collett, one of the workhouse inspectors, who procured blankets and covering front his own house, and thee, under the direction of Mr. Tubbs, the relieving overseer, sent for Mr. Elkins, the surgeon of the district. Mr. Elkins attended to the mother, and the children were removed in a cab to the infirmary. Mr. Mushet, in answer to a question, said the prostra tion of the two elderchildron was so great he did not think it would be advisable to remove them from their beds to come before the Court. They were, however, quite sensible. The younger children were better. Stisan, the third child, an intelligent little girl, ten years, was shortly brought into the Court. She was placed in a chair, and appeared to have suffered very much. She was exceedingly pale, and her eyes much sunken, but otherwise there was not that extent of ema ciation which might have been expected, considering the amount of privation she had undergone. In answer to the coroner she said she could read and write, and knew it was very wicked to state that which was untrue. She recollected being in the workhouse befere. When they went out her raother went to ,live at Walmer-place. Her name was Franklin, and her father was a carpenter. r ds S e hbheieua i ,n n aidtt e dnf e hnoof ero t et hrrvteehnayrel get 01 solthtpaihz tipsy, ge d iryefw: lo sn rh e obta e imunl been ti some money a hsok t hatrTedo W bi n:heee a lay. yo l Td n a t °tie: eo:ortdyhi-place complained idaa c ef e ido, nt nyoe. t t ot h fit. o s ohhu i f r eanHprvd f af a ee tr t narh h snme e bymi r ronetf osai had dohhe e d till they were found on-'Thursday afternoon from the pre vious Monday. That was got by her eldest sister. Her mother would not go to the workhouse, because she said she hal no clothes to go in. Mr. Tubbs, the relieving officer, in answer to a ques tion, said that the mother, when in time house, was of a very sullen disposition; and when brought in before she as well as her children were nearly in the same wretched state as they were found on this occasion. She demanded to go out three or four times; and on the last occasion Mr. Potter, ona of the guardians, wa s for nearly a ter of an hour endeavouring to;:lissuado her from doing so, but she persisted. She went out with her children on the of h l e r lt u h n o t f i I S t e h p e te d m is tr , v , e a r n y d nothingwam more r o e n h t a h l e been: l. l a r h s etiaar: afternoon. The Coroner remarked that he was quite willing to adjourn the inquiry until such time as the elder children might be in a lit state to appear before them if the jury thought proper; but he really cou:d not see what advan tage would result from further purAting the history of this case, which, although very shocking, was very simple. From the state of the poor woman's brain it was quite clear that it had rendered her wholly incapable of doing anything for herself or her children, and hence the frightful state of destitution into which they fell. His only surpi ise was that the elder girl, 13 years of age, had not had sense enough to apply to the workhouse. It ap peared, however, that had not been done, and therefore there could be no blame whatever attributed to the pare ch:al authorities. The sufferings of the poor children must, however, have been frightful in the extreme.' The jury ultimately returned a verdict of "Natural :death." MURDEROUS ATTACK ON FACTORY OPERA TIVES NLAR BRADFORD. at_ Baildon, .a township near Singe the recent disturbances anti destructive attack fortnight ago, serious apprehensions have been entertained of further outbreaks, and rumours have been current of another physical de monstration against the two-loom system of weaving--. that is, each weaver attending to two . !souls, as is the upon Bradford, Mr. in Bradford, the pan not having hitherto been case . . relipaoyrtloecrl'sitTilhe S uva a g eo c rn o li n i s n t e a d bl withes, hastii e iiad precautions the efre t c a t k taken favourably received in t h e out - townships.

No actual violence occurred until Friday night. 1 The precaution has been adopted of allowing the two loom weavers to leave work earlier than the others, and about home. ha T lf i T e a y st w fi al v k e e o'clock a lzi n c g on Friday evening a party o f t en or a d ozen, res idi ng i n Bradford, three miles distant, l e ft M r .

A large party of men, be tween 20 and 30, rushed acro_a the fields, armed with he Ige•stakes and other weapons, attacked the two-loom weavers, and belaboured them most brutally. The two • loom weavers at last got away from their assailants, with the exception of a poor fellow, named Thomas Manghan, residing at White Abbey, a suburb of Bral- I ford, who missed his party in the midst of the scuffll, and on one o f t h e attack i ng par ty po i n ti ng hi m out with the exclamation "There's another two-loomer," they beat hi m most s h ame f u ll y w ith th e i r cu d ge l s , felled him to the ground, and continued their brutal ill-treatment ! until i sumed that his assailants were alarmed by footsteps 061(.1 ran away, for on some of Manghan's companions return s the unf or tu n ate man became insensible.

He was carried to the Brad ford Infirmary, where prompt assistance was rendered by the medical gentlemen in attendance, who found that the principal injuries inflicted comprised two very severe wounds at the back of the head, one on the right hand and another on the left leg. He remained for a consi derable time in a state of semi-insensibility. On his ro turn to consciousness be informed the medical attendants that ho did not know any of his assailants, and ex pressed his belief that none of them are employed at Mr. Taylor's mill. Yesterday afternoon, on inquiry at the Bradford Infirmary, the reporter learnt that Manghan was slightly improving, and that hopes were entertained of his recovery. In the meantime the local police and constabulary are instituting stringent endeavours to trace the members of the brutal gang. LOVE AND SUICIDE -MELANCHOLY CAS& A most painful inquiry took place yesterday before Mr. Wakley, the coroner, at University College Hospital, re spectingthe death of Caroline Hobbs, agedl9, who poisoned herself under the following melancholy circumstances ; The deceased had formerly been in the service of a gen tleman's family, whose name was given, in Burlington gardens, and by whose wife she was greatly esteemed. A connection between her and some young man, a former acquaintance, arose, which ended in most unfortunate re sults.: In order to hide her shame she left her situation, and took 'lodgings in the house of a Mr. Maskell, at 5, Augusta-street, Regent's-park. As she was a very well conducted young woman, Mrs. Maskell also became inte rested in her. She had no visitor of any kind, except an elder sister, during the time she lodged there. On Tues day Morning last, between nine and ten o'clock, this sister was with her, and she was then very low in spirits, and said she could never live separated from him." She went oat afterwards, and returned at half-past 11 o'clock, when she choked some beef-steak, and ate a portion. Between half-past one or two Mrs. Maskell heard a moaning, fol lowed by a heavy fall on the floor of the deceased's room, and upon running up to ascertain the cause, found her lying insensible, and frothing at the month. Two small bottles, labelled respectively "Laudanum—Poison," and "Essential Oil of Bitter Almonds," together with a wino glass which had recently been used, were found upon the table. A medical man was at once sent for, and by his directions she was removed to University College Hospital, wheie she arrived in articuto mortis. Mr. Price Jones, the resident surgeon, examined her, and, finding what she had taken, and that she had lived more than 45 minutes after swallowing the prussic acid, at once concluded that the opium had retarded its action, thereby offering a chance of recovery. On this account, and from the weak state she was in, he was afraid to use the stomach pump lest he should produce asphyxia and destroy the only hope left. Other remedies were' applied, but she died at 10 minutes before four o'clock. A. post mortem showed that, in about 10 weeks, the poor unfortunate creature must have become a mother, and this it was that impelled her to terminate her exist ence. Shortly before she swallowed the poison she wrote two letters, addressed to her mother and Mrs. Maskell. The letter to Mrs. Maskell said :—" I am greatly obliged to you for your kindness to me since I have been with you. God will reward you and your children. If you will go to my mother, at 6, Polygon, Clarendon-square, she will tell you what to do with me. I have' been driven to despair ! My sister will be up at five o'clock." The letter to her mot* began by saying that her case was a fearful one, " ( For you don't, know half my sufferings. . . . Don't fret for me—l will gobefore and be ready to receive you. Give my love to my father and brother, and I hope they will bo good to you. I hope my poor dear sister will be well pro vided for. I beg you will not scold my dear Harry ;it is not his fault, and I love every hairof his head. Write to him and he will pay my funeral expenses. Pray, don't wrong him for my sake. Don't scold him. I could not diehappy if I thought you would do so. My dear Jane (her sister) will give my love to Mrs. --- and tell her all about it I am not yet 19 years of age,' and don't forget my birthday, (the 26th of December.) Tell my Harry I love him, and can't bear to be separated from him." She then alludes to some one who has spoken against her to a former employer, but does not intend to retaliate, as it would " do her no good," and she would " not hurt a hair of anybody's head but my own," and thus conclados :—" I have put all my things right for you to lay me out in, which you will see, anti I have sent him my likeness. I have only my clothes to leave you ; I wish I had more. Good bye ! God bless you !—Your affectionate daughter, " CAROVNE." There was scarcely a dry eye in the room on the reading of this letter, and deceased's sister fainted away. • The Coroner said he had rarely met with a more melan• choly case, and the jury returned a verdict of death from swallowing poison, but leaving the state of the deceased's mind an open question. AN IMPORT ANVTOINT FOR DRAMATIC AUTIdOIi& WESTMINSTER COUNTY COURT—Nov. 17. (Before F. Bayley, Mg., Judge.) LEWIS V. ISMITH-MR. 0. MATMEWS IN "THE GAVE OF SPECULATION ." This court was crowded with theatrical and dramatic authors, to hear the result of an interesting trial brought by the plaintiff, a dramatic author, against Mr. E. T. Smith, lessee of the Theatre Royal Drury-lane, to recover the sum of 141. Hs. for representations during seven nights at Drury-lane of " The Game of Speculation." The claim was brought under the act Will. IV., cap. 15; and the defendant's solicitor admitted that the piece bad beau played on the nights stated in the particulars, and submitted that the only question was as to whether they ha at a right to play it. Mr. Challes James Mathews, the popular comedian, was examined, and stated that in 1851 he was the lessee of the Lyceum Theatre, and in that year plaintiff adapted a piece which was subsequently produced at the Lyc eum , ca ll e d " A Game of Speculation. ' Mr. Mathews purchased the right of representation, and he contended that in the ab sence of any special contract he had a right to represent wherever he chose to play it, and the only instances to the contrary were the cases of Plant:silo and Braham, who made an express contract. Ile had played the piece every yeir since its introduction, throughout the provinces, and no claim had been made for it. Besides, the plaintiff had at tended the rehearsals, and witness considered, he had a legitimate• right to play the piece anywhere be pleased, having paid the plaintiff 501. for it. The plaintiff contended that the right of playing the piece was confine l to the Lyceum, but not elsewhere with out his consent, which had not baeu obtained in the pre sent instance. Tho learned Judge was of opinion that. if there ha'l been an assignment of the property it must be iu writing, which was nut done in the present Case, and the defendant was not at liberty to enact without the consent in writing of the author. • Mr. Mathews demurred to this ruling, and a long and desultory discussion ensued, iu which Mr. Mathews fre quently repeated the hardship he felt it upon him iu having purchased a piece for r9pi'esentation, as he supposed, wherever he pleased, inasmuch us he paid his 501. down for the right of using it, and notwithstanding this he was to he told that the act of Parliament required him to ob tain the consent of the author, whereas the Dramatic, Authors' Flociety list, lo which was published, was an equi valent for a notice in writing. Besides, the piece was partly his own, as he had taken the trouble to go through it carefully, and altered it in most material respects, by introducing important speeches, and made other additions. At length his Honour said if he change:l his opiuio n ho would acquaint defendant's attorney, and in the mean time Jie would look over the authorities, and give judgment in It week.

The late frauds on the Great Northern Railway are na turally e xciting great alarm amongst railway proprietors whe are asking what is the use of an lits by professional accountants, if one of the most important books of the compan y is never looked into, as wduld appear to have been the case with the Great Northern Railway and at the Crystal Palace. Redpath has long been known to be living far above any income he could derive from his services to the company—always representing himself to be a most s uccessful, jobber on the Stock Exchange —and the question naturally presents itself, ought a man in the position of Redpath to be allowed to job on the Stock Exchange ; or, being known to do so, ought h e not to be immediately removed from his situation, lest he should holed to gamble with his employer's money ? Redpath was not• only well known as a constant guest at fashionable parties, but even contrived to get presented at Court. He was almost equally as well known in Paris as in London—he being a frequent visitor there—and being in the habit of patronising the Hotel Windsor, where he lived in most princely style, his hotel bill being said to have averaged 100/, a week, besides what he must have expended at the numerous expensive cafés which he was in the habit of .visiting, and where he thought nothing of ordering wines at 30 or 40 francs a bottle. During a recent visit it is stated that he became a com petitor with the Emperor for a beautiful antique model of 1 0" and the Swan in silver. The Emperor offered 700/., and Redpatli 7501., and the coveted ornament was duly con veyed to the mansion at Weybridge. Redpath, like Robson, was a great patron of the theatres, and might be nightly seen either at the Royal Italian Opera or the Haymarket, to the stage of which he had ready access, and where his love of display, which he seems to have possessed in an extraordinary degree, caused him often to give away his money—or perhaps we should say that of his employers—in a most extraor dinary manner. Thus, he upon one occasion said to a leading actor, " my dear fellow, you never take a benefit, and I have no opportunity of showing my ap preciation of your character as a man, and your talents as an actor, as I wish to do • do me, therefore, the plea sure to accept this slight acknowledgment of my opinion of you"—at the same time forcing a cheque for 501. into his bands. The box book-keeper of the same theatre having died a few weeks since, leaving a widow and seven children, an appeal was made to Redpath to assist in get ting one of them into the St. Ann's Society Asylum. He promised to use his best endeavours, and the next day sent the requisite number of proxies to secure the election. Not does his conduct appear to have been always controlled by ostentation, he having been known, upon more than one occasion when attending the elections at the institu tion to which we have allude d, to go up to som e p oor widow whom he has seen bathed in tears, fearing that she had no prospect of securing the election of her child—to inquire into the case7desire her to ascertain how many more proxies she required, and then give her a cheque to secure them ; w hilst, in other cases, he has p resen t e d t h e mother with 201. or 25?. to assist her until the next elec tion. On the occasion of the annual festivals of one or more of the charitable institutions of the metropolis, Leopold Redpath was in the habit ; of paying from su/. to 100/, from his own pocket in order to add to the splendour of the dinner —a fact of which very few o f th e gues t s were cognisant. At the first dinner of one o f th ese soc i e ti es , ' after the return of ....._the Duke of Cambridge from the Crimea —an occasion on which his Royal Highness —lOO guineas were s o expen d e d —the subscript i on presided lists also bearing the names of " Leopold Redpath, Esq., ; and Mrs. Redpath, 501." But this was not all ; for in the course of the evening Redpath handed in another cheque for 105/., as a donation from a " Citizen who ad mires the character of R.R.H. the Duke of Cambridge, and who wishes to congratulate his Royal Highness on his re turn from the Crimea.'' KING'S COLLEGE; ABERDEEN.--The Earl of Eller mere has been declared elected Lord Rector for four years. We believe that there is no good foundation for the rumours which have been so extensively circulated, to the effect that Mr. James Wilson is about to become Qbairman of the Board of Inland Revenue, in ouccession to the late lair, John Wood. liaval and Military Intelligence. Col. H. Sandhaue, direetor of the Royal Engineer's establishment, Chatham, has received an order for the 10th Company of the Royal Engineers, under the corn tnand of Capt. E. Brine, R.E., to proceed this day to the camp at Carragh, Kildare. A company of this corps, together with a proportion of the staff officers and non commissioned officers, will also proceed at an early date to the camp at Aldershot, for the purpose of forming an establishment of the corps at that station. The authorities have it in contemplation to remove the troops belonging to the corps of Royal Engineers, and the East India Company's Sappers and Miners now quar tered in the huts near Prince Henry's Bastion, Chatham, to the winter quarters in Brompton Barracks. The reduction of the army is proceeding at Chatham, and, in addition to the number of troops who have already received their discharge, nearly 300 men have been or dered to be discharged on Thursday morning, and the same number will be inspected by the Commissioners of Chelsea Hospital at a Chelsea board which is ordered to assemble at Chatham on Friday. About 1,000 troops are still waiting at Chatham to receive their discharge. Instruction: have been for,varded to the officials of Woolwich Arsenal, by desire of Lord Paumure, requir ing facilities to be afforded to Lieut.-Colonel Gardner, Instructor-General of Artillery, who is charged with the elementary education of the junior officers of the corps iu the various branches of military arts and sciences which are carried out in the eutablishnient—nainely, sad dlery and harness inalaing, carriage-building, gun-casting and poring, shot and shell foundry, &e., for which pur pose they ere to be permitted to prosecute their studies during the ordinary hours of labour in the Arsenal. Offi cers of the artillery in general are likewise to be permit ted free admission to the department for a similar purpose. Arrangements have been entered into with Mr. Frae ig, of Nespi York, for the adaptation of his metallic army floating waggons for the use of the British Govern ment. An apparatus is ordered to be fitted out by the 4Var Depanueent in the establishtu,nt of Woolwich Arsenal for the manufacture of the waggons on the spot, aed under their own control. Dies necessary to form the corrugations are to be erected and wuiked by the hydraulic machinery recently established there. The process is to be commenced forthwith. Yesterday morn ing the whole of the available portion of the troops in Woolwich garrison were turnedout at a.m., and headed by Major-General Sir %V. F. Williams and staff, and accompanied by Colonel Brown, commandant of the Royal Marines, they were marched to Blackheath, where they were drawn up and halted. They thence proceeded to Lewieliam, Lee, and Eltham. The brigades of Royal Horse Artillery, accompanied by the band, following the General and staff, led the march ; then followed a battalion of Royal Marines, preceded by the bend.
