RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. CORK AND BANDON. Yesterday, the half-yearly meeting of this company took place at the London Tavern, for the transaction of the ordinary business of the company, and for the pur pose of raising, by the creation of new shares, a sum not exceeding 30,0001. Major-General Chatterton, the chairman of the company, presided. The report an nounced the satisfaction of the directors at the steady and continuous increase in the traffic receipts of the railway. The revenue statement, as compared with the corresponding period last year, showed an improve ment amounting to 9541. 13s, 10d., being an.increase of 20 per cent. The balance-sheet exhibited a. s urplus of 5501. 70. 2d. available for dividend upon the preference shares, and although certain liabilities upon the capital account still existed, the directors recommended a divi dend at the rate of 2 per cent. per annum upon the pre ference shares; leaving a balance of 701. its. 2d. to be carried• to the next account. A deputation of the di rectors had conferred with a body of Irish shareholders in • 'Dublin in reference to the amount of additional capital - necessary for liquidating the outstanding lia bilities of the company, and the meeting had authorised application to Parliament for a sum of 30,0001. to be raised by preference shares, which , amount had been in serted in the bill, and had passed both Houses of Parlia ment. The directors had not yet been able to obtain the award of , Mr. Brunel upon the matters in difference between the company and Messrs. Fox and Henderson. The statement of accounts showed a balance to credit of capital account in dune last of 761. 13s. 5d., and a balance to credit of revenue account of 5501. 7s. 2d. Upon the chairman moving the adoption of the report, a discus sion ensued, originating with Mr. Taafe, who com plained of the largeness of the expenditure, and also of the directors' , remuneration, which was met and answered :by Mr. Bate (a director). The discussion was continued. by Mr. Feene, who ultimately moved, -and-M-r.,,MacClachlan seconded, lie omission of that por- ' -tien-of tlie report referring to the dividend, which was, 414:wilier; negatived, and the report adopted.

The 'repOrrof the directors to be presented at the 'meeting this day states that, " When the last advices left India it had been determined to open the line from ' Hovrrahrto Pundoah for traffic, on or about the 15th of July, and they see no reason to doubt the expectation they expressed in their last report, of opening the entire 'length of the first section of the line to Rangegunge, 121: miles; ;by the. endi of the present year. The works on - - 'next section.,ofthe main line towards Rajmahal, as far as the riverr More, 'are well Advanced under the com pany's own engineers, and the board have advices front Caleutta of contracts being entered into for the comple 'ton ofthe line from the river More to Cawnpore by the year 1857. It is intended to construct ,the line front Giwnpore to Delhi simultaneously—probably by the company's own engineers. A large proportion of the requisite permanent way materials and rolling stock ever already contracted for, and will be sent forward by everY available opportunity. In order to provide funds for the vigorous prosecution of the works, the board, at the 'suggestion of the Honourable East India Company, have availed themselves of the powers conferred by the deed of settlement, and have raised the sum of one million sterling, in debentures, bearing interest at the rate of 41 per cent. per annum, and convertible at any time during their currency into shares. The payment of these de bentures, and the interest thereon, is guaranteed by the Honourable East India Company. The accounts received by each successive mail tend to confirm the opinion the board have so frequently expressed, of the importance of this undertaking, both in a national point of view and as a sound means for the profitable investment of capital." SAMBRE AND MEUSE. The directors' report to be submitted to the halr yearly general meeting to-day, shows that the traffic re turns for the six months ending JuneOth, have been 15,2001., and the expenditure 10,4111. 16s. 3d. The balance of revenue carried forward on that and former accounts is 13,6201. 18s. Bd. The directors regret that, in consequence of the remaining preference shares not having been taken up, the whole of the earnings of the line have been necessarily devoted to the payment of de mands on capital account, and that the same course must be pursued intil all claims have been discharged. REPORT ON RAILWAYS, 1853. The report of the proceedings of the Railway Depart ment of the Board of Trade, during the year 1853, by Captain Galton, R.E., has been issued. The report states that the length of new lines of rail way sanctioned by the Legislature in the United King . dom, during the year 1853, was 940 miles, which amount is very considerably greater than that sanctioned during any year since 1847. Of this amount, 589 miles were in England, 80 miles in Scotland, and 271 miles in Ireland. Among the most important of the new lines in England appear to be the following, viz.:— A line from Strood to . ' Canterbury, by which th e commun i cat i on b y r a ilway along the south bank of the Thames will be rendered 'Continuous aa far 'as lithe North Foreland. Th e Ports , mouth RaWray, by , which a direct communication will he' afforded between Portsmouth and the metropolis. An extension of the Midland Railway from Leicester to Thtchin on the Great Northern Railway, by which a second line of communication will be afforded from the Midland districts to the metropolis; and the Worcester and Hereford Railway, by which a more direct route will be opened between the Midland Counties and South , Wales. In Ireland, the most important line would appear to be the Londonderry and Coleraine Railway, by which a direct route will be afforded between Belfast and Lon donderry; and the Londonderry, Coleraine, and Sligo Railway, which will afford a direct railway communica tion from Sligo to Londonderry and to Dublin. The total length of railway which has been authorised by Parliament to the end of 1853 is 12,688 miles. • Of. this number of miles, 7,686 have been opened for traffic, leaving 5,002 miles to be completed ; but the compulsory powers of 2,838 miles have expired .'without being exercised, or the railways being opened tá the end of 1853. The length of rail 'ways for the construction of which Parliamentary ,powers exist is 2,164 miles. The length of railway oiSened previously t o D ecem b er , 1843 , was 2 ,000 m il es. The length 'opened in the year 1844 was 204 miles ; t in 1845,.' 296 miles; in 1846, 606 miles ; in 1847, 803 miles ; in 1848, 1,182 miles ; in 1849, 869 miles; in 1850, 625' .miles ; in 1851, 269 miles • in 1852, 446 miles ; and in 1853, 850 miles, making the total length - then opened 7,686 miles ;of which 5,848 are in England, 995 in Scotland, and 843 miles in Ireland. The length of the narrow gauge railway, including the Irish gauge of 51 feet, is 6,965 miles, of the broad gauge 626 miles, and of the mixed gauge 95 miles. The number of rail way companies having single lines of railway at the end of 1858 was 97, the length of single narrow gauge lines, including the Irish gauge, 1,543 miles, of'broad gauge 112 miles, and of mixed gauge 53 miles—tatal 1,708 miles ; of which 1,135 miles of single line are in Eng land, 112 miles iii Scotland, and 441 in Ireland. Of the single line opened at the end of the year 1852, 32 miles 46 chains in England, and 41 miles 76 chains in Ireland, have been made during the year 1853. The total length of new line which was opened during the year 1853 amounted to 350 miles. Of the lines opened in England, the principal ones are—the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Rail way from Wolvercot to Evesham, by which the manu facturing districts near Birmingham, the town of Wor cester, and the important agricultural districts between Worcester and Oxford we accommodated with a direct route to London ; the Newport, Abergavenny, and He ford Railway, and the Shrewsbury and Hereford Rail. way, by which a direct route is afforded from Birken head to South Wales ; and the Thirek and Malton, and Melton and Driffield Railways, by which railway com- Municatilm is afforded to an important district in • Yorkshire. In Scotland the only line of importance opened for traffic waa the Deeside Railway. In Ireland the most important lines ara the Waterford and Kilkenny, and Waterford . and Limerick Railways, by which Waterford has been 'Connected with the Irish Railway system ; and the rail- Rillarney to the.

The total number of passengers conveyed on railways in the United Kingdom in •the year 1853 amounted to 102,286,660 ; the number in 1852 had been 89,135,729. The total receipts from all sources of traffic amounted in 1853 to 18,335,1791., and in 1852 to 15,710,5541. In England the mean length of line open during the year has been increased from 4,355'5 miles in 1849 to 5,730.5 miles in 1853, and the total number of passen gers conveyeyed has increased from 49,879,362 in 1849 to 84,212,961 in 1853, being an increase of from 11,450 per mile in 1849 to 14,695 per mile in 1853. The num bers conveyed of each class bear very nearly the same relative proportion to each ether in each year. In 1853 the number of first-class passengers , was 1216 per cent., the number of second-class passengers was 37.8 per cent., and the number of third-class 49'42 per cent. of the whole number carried. The receipts from passen gers have increased from 5,446,5181. in 1849 to 7,326,1061. in 1853, being an increase of from 1,2551. per mile (the amount received during 1851 having amounted to 1,3301. per mile). The receipts per mile ' from each class in 1849 were—first class, 4061. ; second class, 518/. ; third class, 3311. In 1853 the receipts per mile had diminished on the first and second class to 4031. and 4741. respectively, and had increased on the third class to 378/. But the most important feature is the steady progress made by the goods traffic of the country, and the apparent r probability that in the course of a few years it will form a more important item in the income of railway com panies than the passenger traffic. The receipts from goods have increased from 4,750,5041. in 1849, to 8,112,4771. in 1853, being an in crease of from 1,0901. per mile in 1849 to 1,4151. per mile in 1853 ; and whilst the receipts from passengers in 1819 were larger than the receipts from goods in the proportion of 53'42 to 46.58, in 1853 the contrary was the case, viz., the per-tentage of the passenger traffic was 47'45, and of the goods traffic 52 . 55. In Scotland the progress of traffic on railways has been similar. The mean length of railway open during the year has increased from 795 . 5 miles, open in 1849, to 987 miles open in 1853. The number of passengers conveyed in 1849 amounted to 7,902,228, and in 1853 to 10,999,2241., which represents 9,9931. per mile' in 1849, against 11,2461. per mile in 1853. The relative number-of paSsengers of each class conveyed would appear to have slightly varied, the number of first and third class passengers having in creased, and the number of second-class passengers having diminished, the number,in 1849 being. 729 first class passengers per mile, 2,035 second-class passengers per mile, and 6,997 third-class passengers per mile, against 1,107 first-class, 1,971 second-class, 8,165 third class passene.ers • per mile in 1853. The receipts from passengers having increased from 540,7701. to 697,712/. ; or from 6801. per mile in 1849 to 7131. per mile in 1853 ; and the proportion of receipts from each class conveyed having been, in 1849, 1491. per mile for first-class, 1961. per mile for second-class, and 3311. per mile from third class passengers, against 1811. per mile from first-class, 1791. per mile from second-class, and 3451. per mile from third-class passengers in 1853. It would, therefore appear that in Scotland the third class traffic preponderates considerably both as regards numbers and receipts. There is also in the Scotch lines a preponderance in the receipts from goods traffic over the receipts from passenger traffic. The amount received from goods in 1849 was 650,6401., and in 1853 it was 1,068,0161., representing 8181. per mile in 1849, against 1,0751. per mile in 1853. The re lative proportions of the two descriptions of traffic were, in 1849, passenger traffic, 45.38, and goods traffic,s4.62, and in 1853 the receipts from goods traffic amounted to 60.48 per cent. of the whole traffic. In Ireland the progress has also been marked, but a considerable increase has taken place in the number of miles open for traffic, which increase (as was the case in this country a few years ago) has been at a greater rate than the increase of the traffic, and hence the receipts per mile do not exhibit a similar progress. The mean length of rail waynpenecl in the year 1849 was 428 miles, and in the year 1853 it was 771 miles. The total number of passengers conveyed in 1849 amounted to 6,059.947, or 14,142 per mite ; and in 1853 it amounted to 7,074,475, or 9,175 per mile. The increase in the number of passengers has taken place chiefly in the first and third classses, the number of second-class passengers having diminished. The number of passengers of different class per mile was in 1849—First class, 1,226 ; second class, 7,135, and third class, 5,776 ; and in 1853 —First class, 1,044 ; second class, 3,691, and third class, 4,436. The receipts from passengers have in creased from 290,6041. in 1849, to 537,2591. in 1853; the receipts per mile having been 6781. in 1849, and 6961. in 1853, divided between the different classes in the following proportion in 1849—First class, 1501. per mile ; second class, 2731., and third class, 255/. ; and in 1853, first class, 1681. ; second class, 2641., and third class, 2511. The receipts for goods amounted, in 1849, to 127,4621., and in 1853, to 294,3101., equivalent to 2971. per mile in 1849, and 3871. per mile in 1853. The relative proportion of receipts from the two classes of traffic was, in 1849, 69.61 from passengers, and 30.49 from goods , and in 1853 it was 64.62 from passen g e rs , and 35.38 rom goods. The general summary of the result is that, since the year 1849, whilst the number of miles over which the traffic is conveyed has increased 34 per cent., the num ber of passengers have increased 60 per cent., the re ceipts from passengers 36 per cent., or from 1,1251. per mile in 1849, to 1,1431. per mile in 1853 ; the receipts from goods have increased 71 per cent., or from 9001 per mile in 1849, to 1,2651. per mile in 1853, and the total receipts have increased nearly 53 per cent., or from 2,115/. per mile in 1849, to 2,4081. per mile in 1853; and the proportionate increase of the traffic of 1853 over that of 1852 was greater than that of 1850 over 1849. It is worthy of remark, that, as regards the passenger traffic, the proportionate increase in the number of the . -- lower class of passengers conveyed by railway is greater than that of other classes, and the proportion which th e receipts from that class bear to the receipts from other classes is greater for 1853 than it was for 1849. With respect to accidents, it appears that in 1852, 216 persons were killed and 486 injured on the railways in the United Kingdom out of a gross total of 89,135,729 passengers ; of these persons 181 were killed and 413 were injured in England ; 24 were killed and 71 injured in Scotland; and 11 were killed and 2 injured in Ireland. In the year 1853, out of a gross total of 102,286,660 passengers conveyed by the railways of the United King. dom, 305 were killed and 449 injured; of these 243 were killed and 369 injured in England ; 37 were killed and 68 injured in Scotland ; and 25 were killed and 12 in jured in Ireland. It would appear that, in the year 1852, the proportion of the number of passengers killed and injured from causes beyond their own control to the total number of passengers carried on railways, reduced for the purposes of comparison to the standard of 1,000,000 was, in England 14 killed and 4.3 injured per million passengers conveyed ; in Scotland, none killed, but 5.8 injured per million ' • in Ireland non e kill e d, 3.2 i n j ure d per m illi on ; and for the United Kingdom, the proportion of killed was 11, and of injured about 4.2 per one million of pas sengers conveyed. But in the year 1853 the proportion of the number of accidents to the number persons conveyed by railway was greater. For reducing the numbers to the same comparative standard of 1,000,000, the proportion of the number of passengers killed and inj ured from causes beyond their own control to the total number of pas sengers carried on railways in that year was, in Eng land, 23 killed and 2.6 injured per million of passengers conveyed ; in Scotland, .09 killed and 4.5 injured per million ; and in Ireland, 2.4 kill e d and 1.6 injured in every 1,000,000 ; whilst in the United Kingdom there would appear to have been .35 killed and 2.8 injured in every 1,000,000 of passengers conveyed by railway.

In the densely populated and unenlightened localities of Aberdare; Merthyr, &c., crime has diminished full 50 per cent., and at the Pembroke and Carmarthen Assizes there were only four prisoners for trial, while at Glamorgan no serious charge was on the calendar. The diminution of pauperism at the pre runt niotnent is great, there being scarcely any able-bo died poor in the various union-houses. This is owing to the active demand from labour, arising from the large amount of emigration, and the number of.works being► carried on. The out-door applications for relief have also been much diMinished; and the expenditure, were it not for •the high , rate of provisions, would be materially lowered.

FROCK COATS Fon THE POLICE. —The military au hwities have wisely d ec id e d to adopt the frock coat in the army. Might not the arguments that have been used in their favour be applied with equal propriety to sthe police ? Would it not be advisable to give them a short frock in lieu of the absurd swallow -tail which has neither appearance nor comfort, and by that means afford men who are exposed to all weathers, at all hours, some protection to their loins, stomachs, and hips, as , well as adding grace and manliness to their appearaliec, neither of which .tba.present coat dues./ _The swallow waters, but is an absurd garment for tail may be an appropriate coat for gentlemen at d ress par ties, and for i employed in out - door occupations. men HEALTH OF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar-General. ) In the week that ended last Saturday the total num- ber of deaths registered in London was 1,456. In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1844-53 the average number was 1,087, which, if raised in proportion to in crease of population, becomes 1,106. The present re turn, therefore, exhibits a mortality considerably in ex cess of the average—a result arising from cholera, which it will be observed with regret continues to make pro gress in the metropolis. The deaths ascribed to the zymotio or epidemic class of diseases rose from 422 in the previous week to 731 in the last. Cholera, which was fatal in the last 3 weeks of July in 5, 26, and 133 cases, destroyed last week 399 lives ; viz., 145 children under 15 years of age, 213 persons between 15 and 60 years, and 41 who had reached 60 years of age and upwards. The disease had made greater progress at the same date in 1849, for in the week that ended 4th August of that year, the num ber who died of it was 926. From diarrhoea and dysen tery the deaths in the last four weeks have been 51, 63, 87, and 146. Of the 399 deaths from cholera last week, 23 occurred in the West Districts, 12 in the North, 14 in the Central, 60 in the East, and so large a proportion as 290 on the south side of the river. The following are the cases in detail : West Districts : Population in 1851, 376,427. Deaths from cholera, 23. Chelsea ; South.—At 12, Lombard-street, on Ist August, the son of a hair-dresser, aged 10 years, "Asiatic cholera (18 hours)." In the same sub-district, at 4, Sun-court, Lombard street, on the 3d of August, a plasterer, aged 55 years, " cholera (13 hours)." In the same sub-district, at 16, Lombard-street, on the 4th of August, the son of a lighterman, aged 4 years, " cholera (11 hours)." Chelsea ; North -west.—At 10, Little Camera-place, on the 2d of August, a widow, aged 71 years, " cholera (2k days)." St. oeor g e, Hanover-square: Mayfair.—At the Work house, Mount-street, on the 4th of August, a mendicant, "spasmodic cholera (15 hours)." Mr. Walsh states that this man, a well-known street vagrant, was brought in from the street (Davies-street). The surgeon who at tended him adds, "he stated 'that he had had little food for three days except cabbage, a portion of which was the only food ejected from the stomach." St. George's, Hanover-square ; Belgrave.—At 4, St. George's-terrace, on 3d August, an engine fitter, aged 30 years, " diarrhoea, cholera (12 hours)."

ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT—GUILDFORD, AUG. D. (CROWN COURT—Before Mr. Justice Erle.) THE ESHER MURDERS. (Continued from our First Edition of yesterday.) Mr. Justice Erie proceed e d to sum up the whole case with his usual care and impartiality. In the course of his observations he said he concurred in the statement of the case laid down by the learned counsel for the prose cution, and as it appeared to be admitted that it was by the hand of the prisoner that the whole of these unfor tunate children met their deaths, the only question that remained for consideration was, whether at the time the deed was committed, the prisoner was in such a state of mind as rendered her responsible for her acts. He felt called upon to say that he quite agreed with the obser vations of a learned judge who had preceded him on an inquiry of this description, and which had been quoted by the learned counsel in his reply, that a defence of this character ought to be looked at with great caution and jealousy, and that the jury ought not, where an enormous crime had clearly been committed, to acquit a prisoner upon the ground of insanity, unless there were circumstances surrounding it totally irrespective of the enormity of the crime itself, which left no reasonable doubt that it the time of its commission the party ac cused was not in a condition of mind to ,distinguish be tween right and wrong, Qr to be aware that he was com mitting a crime. The learned judge then called the attention of the jury to the evidence for the prisoner, and said that it appeared to be founded upon the supposition that the crime had been committed under the influence of some uncontrollable impulse, and he said he would only observe that this was a most dangerous doctrine, for undoubtedly every crime was committed under some impulse, and the object of the law was to control im pulses of that description, and thus prevent crime. His lordship - went on to say, that it was impossible to define the condition of the human mind with certainty, and the jury, in considering a case of this, description, were en titled to look at all the circiunstances that surrounded it, with a view to forming-their conclusion, and if they thought that, iil the present instance, there weregrounds for supposing that at the time the prisoner committed the act she was nOt in a sane state, they would be justi fied in acquitting her Upon that ground. If, on the other hand, they should be Of opinion that owing td the unfortunate relation in which she stood with her husband at the time, sho was induced to meditate the commission of some act of violence either towards herself or others, and that this created an excited condition, which, ope rating upon her-brain in its diseased condition drove her to a state of t em p orary i nsanity, during which she committed the act with which she was charged, he was bound to tell them that this would not excuse her from the consequences, and it would be their duty to find her guilty of the crime of wilful murder. The jury retired at five o'clock, and at seven they re turned into court and gave a verdict of not guilty, on the ground of insanity. The prisoner, who did not betray the least emotion at any period of the proceedings, was ordered to be de tained in safe custody during her Majesty's pleasure. CHESTER.—CROWN COURT, AUG. 9. (Before Mr. Baron Martin.) Sarah Featherston was charged with the murder of Joseph Chadderton Featherston, her son, aged eleven months, on the 28th of July last. The prisoner, who is a respectable-looking girl, not quite twenty years of age, has followed the business of a dressmaker at Stoke, near Crewe, for some time past. About two years ago Elbe was seduced by a young man, who afterwards deserted her. She gave birth to a male child, and about two month since put it out to nurse to a woman Darned Hanns.h Latham. The prisoner had been promised marriage by another young man recently. The child was a very sickly one, and as no money had been paid by the mother for its maintenance, Mrs. La tham said she could no longer keep it. Accordingly, on Friday morning the 28th ult., the - prisoner fetched the child from the nurse. Nothing further was seen of it until the following Tuesday morning, the Ist inst., when, as the constable of the district was passing a small pit near the Shropshire Union Canal, close to the nurse's residence, something in it attracted his attention, and he took from it the body of a male infant. The frock was pinned over its head, and two half-bricks were fastened within the frock against the head. The child was quite dead. A post mortem examination was made, and from the evidence of the surgeon on the trial, it appeared that death had not been caused by drowning, but by the bruizes on the back of the head, evidently produced by a blow or a fall on some very hard substance. The clothes ,which the child had-on, were identified as those which the infant Featherston wore, although none of the wit nesses spoke positively as to the identity of the child. After her appiehension the prisoner said to the special high copstable immediately prior to her being taken before the coroner, "I wish you to tell Mr. Edleston solicitor), that he need not attend, for I am guilty of the crime ; it is of no use me denying it." For her , defence, it was stated that the prisoner's father died in a state of insanity, her uncle is at present in a lunatic asylum, her sister is an idiot, and it was said that she (the prisimer) had attempted some months ago to commit suicide. The probability that the death might have been caused by a fall, and that the unfortunate mode of getting rid of the body, adopted by, the prisoner, was in order to avoid the shame of a public ;funeral, was , pressed upon the consideration of the jury; in an earnest appeal by the learned counsel for the prisoner. She was found guilty, with a strong recommendation to mercy. , 1 • His lordship, having put on the black cap, passed sen tence of death in the usual form. The recommendation to mercy should be forwarded to the proper quarter, but at present he could hold out no hoper His lordship was very much affected while passing sentence. Mr. Swetenham then pleaded the prisoner's preg nancy, and a jury of matrons was immediately em panelled. They found, after seeing the prisoner in the gaol, that she is not quick with child, an d t hi s verdict was accordingly added to the former one. BIRTHS IN THE WEEK. 776 727 1,503 THE AMSTERDAM MIIRDERS.—A few days ago, it wil. be recollected that a foreign er was apprehended in the city, through the instrumentality of the submarine cable, as being the perpetrator of the horrible murders near Am sterdam, and the Secretary of State (Lord Palmerston) not offering any objection to the prisoner being removed from this country, he was forthwith conveyed to Holland. The prisoner, when brought before the Lord Mayor, gave the name of Franz de Hass, and persisted that it was not the name mentioned in the message, but on learning that he was to bo taken back to Amsterdam, he admitted his name to be John Henry Kemper. Since his arrival he has undergone several examinations, and his guilt of the 5 murders clearly established by the servant girl and child of Prickwinkle, the farmer, who survive, and who speak positively of seeing him murder the Nor crea tures with an axe. The circumstances of his capture in London have not been accurately stated, and certainly deserve notice for the promptness displayed by the police in the city. The moment the minister of police at Am sterdam was aware of Kemper's escape to England he put himself into communication with the vice-consul in Fenchurch-street, sending him per telegraph the de scription of the party supposed to be the murderer. This was despatched at 7 o'clock in the morning and reached the Vice-Consul between 9 and 10, whereupon Thain, an officer in the. City detective force, was called upon to seek out the fugitive. Among several foreign ers applied to by Thain, was Mr. Cantor, an interpre ter, who was in the practice of attending the different continental steamers on their arrival in the river, and whose son, it appeared, conducted a party from the Lion steamer answering to the description in the message, to a lodging-house at the east end of the City. He at once proceeded to No. 7, New-street, Whitechapel, where he discovered the party ho was in searoh of carousing with several men. Feigning to be an acquaintance, Cantor adroitly seized the left hand (the one which the tele graphic message said bore a deep scar) and gave him a cordial shake, and then tnrned it over, when he at once saw the mark. Answering the . d escr ipti on in, other respects, he asked him to accomp an y hi m t o t h e door, LAMBETH Which he did, when he was instantly handed over to the seectabl a c with embezzling 10/ , e appearance, was charged custody of the officer.

The Court Was detained for some time beyond the hour fixed for going into the Case by the want of punctuality on the part of professional gentlemen. Mr. Parry appeared for the complainants, and Mr. Ballantine for the defence. After some consultation with the magistrate, Mr. Parry said for the ends of justice and as the case would occupy a considerable time, he would ask the magistrate to adjourn the case until to-morrow week, as it wal now nearly the hour at which the court usually closed. Mr. Bingham consented to the adjournment, and all parties retired. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—Mr. Ker, of Bromp ton-terrace, Kensington, applied to Mr. Bingham for a peace .warrant against ; a Mr. O'Connell, one of the nephews of the late Mr. Daniel O'Connell, whose Chris tian names he did not know, as that gentleman had sent a letter to' Captain Devilla, challenging him to fight a duel. Mr. Bingham said if the applicant really apprehended that the parties intended to commit a breach of the peace he would grant a peace warrant. Mr. Ker said . he did, and a warrant was granted and put into the hands of Edmunds, one of the summoning- offi cers, who went to Holles-street to execute it, but could not meet with the party referred to, as he was informed the Mr. O'Connell he wanted did not live there, but only had his letters left there. Morton Andrew Edwards, of No. 92, Dean-street, Soho, sculptor, and -Milian?, Plowright, of No. 25, John street, Bedford-row, gentleman, appeared before Mr. Bingham, on summons, to answer charges which were set forth at the following unusual length in the spm mons :—That the defendants did conspire together with pretences, t o procure the execution by .one other persons by corrupt m eans and undue influence, N a V n i d lli b a y m Scoular, false now deceased, of a certain power of attorney, dated the sth day of July, 1854, under, the hand and seal of the said William Scoular, whereby it was purported that the said William Scoular constituted the defeLdants his lawful attornies to sell and transfer the sum of 5501.

AUGUST 10, 1854. was intimated to him that an officer of the Sheriff of Surrey was in attendance. and waiting to capture him. On hearing this he said he had no doubt whatever that Smith's object of sending him into Surrey was to give the sheriff's officer an opportunity of arresting him, as he was aware of the fact that a warrant was in their hands for that purpose. It: was intimated to him that the officer could not legally arrest him while he re mained in the court. He in consequence remained seated in the court until the business was over, but on the magistrate leaving the bench, and the court no longer continuing a tribunal of justice, or legally constituted court, the officer made his capture, and removed his prisoner.

SECOND DAY. The racing was of a very interesting character, and the attendance as large as on the previous day. The weather in the afternoon was dull and gloomy, but as the day advanced it became, after two or three very trifling showers, a beautiful afternoon. The arrange. ments were, as before, very excellent, and contributed much to the enjoyment of the assembled multitude. The sport commenced at half-past twelve with The Watermen's Scullers' Race, open to all the world, - - for prizes amounting to 341. The First Heat was won by John Mackinney, Rich mond. The Second by T. Mackinney, Richmond. The Final Heat terminated as follows :—• H. Kelly (Red) 1 T. Mackinney (Yellow) 2 J. Candlish (Pink) 0 J. Mackinney Match for 1001. The regatta was suspended for an hour for the great match between Robert Newell, of Battle-bridge Stairs, Horselydown, and Henry Clasper, of Newcastle-on ' Tyne, which started from Putney -bridge, and proceeded to Mortlake. It is hardly necessary to say much about the merits of these men. Henry Clasper was the cham pion of the Tyne, and formed in the present regatta one of the Newcastle crew. All being in readiness, the men started. Newell got the best of the start for a moment, but seemed in the thitd pull to miss the full power of his right hand stroke, and in an instant Clasper regained the slight advantage his adversary had acquired the mo ment before, and there was the gap of one clear length between them. Both men got to their work in beauti ful style, but there was no change for the next dozen strokes.

Mr. Patrick Nl‘Kernan, formerly of New Ross, now of Columbus, Olrio, states in a letter to Professor Holloway that he suffered for upwards of three years from a bad stomach, pains in the head, and a severe nervous debility, during which time he consulted the most eminent medical men, but all in vain. He therefore resolved 'to take no more of their medicine, and give Holloway's pills a trial, by taking them for a short period.

Mr. Whitford, surgeon, took the chair, and dwelt upon the great hardships inflicted upon the che mists' assistants by the present protracted attendance behind the counter. It was resolved to prepare a pamphlet, setting forth their grievance, copies to be sent to the editors of the London journals, and to all the me tropolitan clergy ; to call a meeting of the employers ; and to appoint a deputation 'to canvass•the trade, the result to be ref erre d to a second emp l oyers ' meeting. 1 50 0 0 I - 10 0 0 1 Paid.
