RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. EASTERN COUNTIES. The 36th half-yearly meeting of shareholders in the above company was held yesterday, at the London Ta vern; David Waddington, Esq., chairman of the com pany, presiding. 0,1 the entry of the directors into the room, there was one or two slight attempts to get up a hiss in remote corners in the room, but it was speedily suppressed by the general good feeling of the meeting, and the cheering soon became loud and unanimous. The eoretary, Mr. J. 8. - Owen, having read the advertise ment convening the meeting, The CHAIRMAN said that as the report and statement of accounts had been printed and circulated a mongst the shareholders, he presumed both might be t aken as rea d .. a. Be said it was now his duty to move the adoption o f t h e d t report, and he was quite free to admit that if that report and statement of accounts were to be taken as a fair re presentation of the position of the company, the share holders would have a full right to cast blame on,the court of directors, and to refuse that cordial tribute of approbation which it was his pleasing duty to acknow ledge that day. (Cheers.) But he trusted that he should be able to give such explanations as should place matters in a much more satisfactory light. He would, in the first instance, call their attention to the revenue account. They would find by referring to abstract A in the account furnished, that the total receipts for the half-year ending June 30, 1854, was 555,649/. Os. ld., adding surplus would make the total 360,494/., from which, if they de ducted the earnings of the East Anglian and Newmarket Erma, 29,167/., they would have a sum of 531,327/. as the earnings of the Eastern Union, Norfolk, and ;astern Counties, for the past half-year. Comparing tatwith the earnings of the three companies for the alf-year ending June, 1853, which were Eastern 'ounties and Norfolk, 425,5961., and Eastern Union 61,4661.—t0ta1, 417,062/.—they would find the increase an the united working to be 44,365/. To make the comparison as closely as possible, he must deal with this sum as five-sevenths of the excess being earned by the Eastern Counties and two-sevenths by the Eastern Union and Norfolk. Two 7 sevenths would amount to 12,646/., which, deducted from the former sum, left 31,619/. as the nett excess to which the Eastern Coun ties proprietors would have been entitled, supposing hem to have worked the line strictly on their own ac ount. Working the line at 48 per cent. as per abstract B, they would find 16,442/. as the nett earnings on the sum of 31,6191., which, exclusive of the Norfolk and Eastern Union, would have given a further dividend of 2s. per share. If they took the same late of earning, with a working expense of 42 per cent., which was the rate at which the traffiC was worked in 1853, they would not be entitled to a dividend of 6 per cent. The working expenses were 48 per cent., and the result might be found in the report. Deducting the items from the Eastern Union and Norfolk, which would .be found in the abstract, they would find an excess in the working expenses of 19,832/. as compared with 1853. This was a large sum, but when they considered the peculiar man ner in which the Eastern Counties accounts were made at, the cartage, for instance, was included in the work rgexpen,es, ereas in other companies, as the Lon don and North-Western, cartage was deducted, and also recollected that the company had 400 horsei, they would not consider the excess so enormous. He must confess his own deep disappointment when he saw the accounts only left a bar-3 4s. for dividend ; but he felt that even in such unfavourable circumstances he bad only to lay before the shareholders a faithful and unvarnished state ment to insure for t' e directors support for the course which they had pursued. The chairman concluded by moving the adoption of the report and accounts, as already published. Dr. - RILEY complained of the smallner,s of the dividend, and wished Air some explanations as to the prospects of "the Harwich line. The CHA.IIIIIA.N Paid that the arrangements at Har wich were complete, and that some of the proprietors 'would Lave an opportunity of inspecting them on this day. Mr. CHRISTIE thought that the capital account ought to b, closed, and complained that the directors had in creased their debt by one rid:lion. Mr. 'B.ttr.,'M.P.; supported the report, and thought that a7l the came, of a reduced dividend had been fully ta'.rly accounted for. Mr. Nomus obj , eted to various items in the accounts, and pointed out that although so much stress was laid by the chairman on the price of coke, the account showed -that the increase -.vas only fractional. A SHAREHOLDrt strongly urged the c7osing of the capital account. He also objected that cab transactions had been entered' into without the consent of the share 'holden. He wished further to know whetherthe Jinn -tors intended to purchase' steam-boats. The CHAIRMAN briefly explained that there had been 'no increase in the bond debt; and having satisfied the meeting on one •or two 'minor points which had been started, put the question, and the report and accounts were unanimously adopted. _ Thanks were then voted to the chairman and directors, 'and the proceedings terminated. NORTH-EAST ERN. Yesterday the Exst meeting of the shareholders of this company, which, ai our readers arc aware, is an amal gamated company, the parties to such amalgamation being the York, Newcastle, and Berwick, the York and North Midland, and the Leeds Northern Railway Com -anies, was held at the Festival Concert Room, York, lone o'elock. There was a very numerous attend- nee of the shareholders, the chair beino• occupied by James Pulleine, Esq., who had recently ° been chosen unanimously as chairman of the new company. The CHAIRMAN addresied the meeting, observing that they were met together for the first time as the share holders of the new amalgamated company, and, he be lieved the amalgamation would afford increased facilities for bringing out the traffic, and rendering it as profitable as the railway was capable of. the traffic, he was happy to observe, was going on increasing week after week at the rate of about 3,0001. as compared with the corres ponding periods of last year. This was a gratifying result. In conclusion, the chairman moved the adop tion of the report, a copy of which had been in the hands of the shareholders for some days, and which was taken as read at the beginning of the meeting. Mr. CRAWFORD moved an amendment. -- The amendment was put, when only 17 hands were held up for it, and the report was then carried almost unanimously. A motion for allowing the directors 1,0001. per annum for their services was agreed to nem. con. The CHAIRMAN then moved that a dividend for the half-year should he declared as follows :—On the ordinary stock and shares of the Berwick capital stock at the rate of 31 per cent. per annum, on the ordinary stock in th e York capital st oc k a t the rate of 2i per cent. per an num, and on tie preference quarter shares and exten sion shares 1848, Nos. 1,2, and 3, in the Leeds capital stock, at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. A vote of thanks was then moved to the chairman and carried, and the meeting separated. BLACKWALL, The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday at the London Tavern. Captain Mangle 3 took the chair. The report has appeared in print. The CHAIRMAN apologised for the absence of Mr. Daniel, through illness. He had to compliment their engineer on the stability of his works, as well as their traffic manager on the safety with which their line was managed in regard to accidents. Their traffic was enor mous. It would give some idea of the arduous dunes of their manages when he stated that they had 280 trains a day. He was happy to congratulate them on the prospects of the Tilbury Une, where the traffic was gra dually increasing, and would no doubt turn out more steady than that ot any steam-boat company. The chair man having regretted the loss of Mr. Alderman Thomp son, moved the adoption of the report. Josten WILSON, Esq., seconded the motion. Mr. SMITH wished to know whether they had any binding agreement with the Eastern Counties Company, in respect to the extension works, and from which such an increase of revenue had been prognosticated? The CHAIRMAN said they had a direct claim of 2,5001. a year on an outlay of 50,0001. (Hear, hear.) The report was then adopted. A dividend of 3s. 3d. per share was agreed to unani moumly. After a vote of thanks had been passed to the chair man and directors, the meeting adjourned. LIVERPOOL, CROSBY, AND SOUTHPORT. LThe half f-yearly m ee ti ng o f th i s company was held at iverpool, yesterday afternoon, at the Clarendon Rooms; HORNBY, Esq., in the chair. The gross receipts for traffic during the past half-year amount to 15,7491. Os. 9d., showing an excess of 2,3531. Is. over the corres ponding period of 1853. This increase was more than absorbed by the additional charges for the tolls, 8891. 12s. 6d., and for working expanses, 1,7741. Bs. Bd., re spectively, as compared with the like period of 1853. The balance available for dividend is 2,1501. 14s. Bid ~ but under existing circumstances the directors recom mended that this sum be carried forward to the current half-year. After the rep ort had been received and adopted: the meeting separated. NEWRY AND ENNISKILLEN. yesterday at The half-yearly meeting was held Guildhall Coffee - house , Cit y . the SV. F. SPACKMAN, Esq., took the chair. The CHAIRMAN said he had a few remarks t o make, T the first place, he would congratulate them on te --.3 tion of their affairs at present to what it was on a i - o Posi. which former occasion. Their working expenses had heen3o6t, directors had a troublesome and expensive correspond! at a price ence with the Dublin and Bclfast Company, i n they offered to sell them the line, or to lease it less than ilr. Dar an offered to the company. To these overtures no assent was given. After some observations from a few proprietors, the report was adopted, and the directors and auditor were elected. A rote of thanks was then passed to the chairman, and tha meeting adjourned. NEWRY, WATERPOTNT, AND ROSTREI, The seventeenth half-yearly meeiing of the above ' n rail •ay was h e ld yesterday in the Clare , -rl .on -roorns, South ;, Shared,John-street, Li verpool, at 11 o'clock, Fran Esq., Chairman of Directorq presiding'. The traffic returns upon " the line continue to show some increase over that of the corresponding half-year of 1853, although the addition anticipated from the opening of the Newry and Enniskillen line to Gorah Wood has not been realised. The directors have to express their gratificattion that the liabilities of the company have been so far arranged, by cons ersion into debentures, bearing five per cent. interest, as to get rid of all disputes, with consequent legal charges, and that the amount outstand ing, with the exception of the Irish Li* Bill; is now re duced to 278/. 3s. Bd. The report and the statementof accounts having been adopted, the proceedings,. which only occupied a few minutes, then closed. OXFORD, WORCESTER, _AND WOLVER• HAMPTON. The half-yearly meeting was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopgate-street. J. Parson, Esq., took the chair, in the absence of Capt. Rushout, M.P. The report has already appeared. The CEIAIR)IAN moved the adoption of the report, and the declaration of a dividend of 2 per cent. for the half year on the preference shares. An amendment was moved for leaving •ut that part of the report relating to the broad gauge, but it was negatived. The report was then adopted, and a dividend of 2 per cent. for the half-year on the preference shares was agreed to unanimously, and the meeting adjourned. TEE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT. THE EXAMINATION BEFORE THE CROYDON MAGISTRATES. CROYDON, Tuesday morning:—The magistrates re-as sembled this morning for the purpose of prosecuting the inquiry adjourned from Friday last. Simpson and Slad den, the driver and stoker of the excursion train, were brought up in custody from Horsemonger-lane Gaol, and Boynett and Knyvett, who were out on bail, sur rendered, and were placed at the bar with the others. The magistrates present were Mr. E. R. Addams, chairman, Captain Kemmis, Mr. J. W. Sutherland, and Ma Byron. Mr. Dawson appeared on behalf of Mr. Parker, the station-master at Croydon. Mr. Everett said that it was agreed on all hands that his clients Boynett and Knyvett were not to blame, and he therefore applied for their immediate discharge. Mr. Barrow, barrister, who appeared on behalf of the friends of the deceased clergyman, said he had no objec tion to their discharge, as no charge of any kind could be alleged against them. The Chairman, after a consultation with his brother magistrates, decided that there could be no inconve nience in allowing the matter, to stand over for the present. Henry Chapman, the telegraph clerk at Stoat's West, was examined. He gave precisely the same evidence as was taken before Mr. Payne, the coroner, yesterday. Mr. Bone, the telegraph clerk at the Croydon . station, repeated the evidence given before Mr. Payne on the first day of the inquest. In answer to Mr. Rawlings, witness replied that he was sorry to say he had frequently made errors in the telegraph book, but they had never been complained of by the railway authorities. Henry Horton said he resided at Sandgate, and was a plumber. He was in the second part of the excursion train on Monday, August 21. There was a gentleman of the name of Elias Hodson with him in the carriage. In consequence of some communication he had with him they were induced to take out their watches when they left Red-hill station. It was after they passed through Merstram tunnel they took out their watches to time the train, because it was going so fast. They found that the train went four miles in 4A minutes. By the Chairman—They timed the train at the other side of Tunbridge, but it was not going so fast then. The speed of the train was slackened about half a mile before it reached Croydon station. But it did not slacken much. On going into the station at Croydon, the train proceeded at the rate of a mile in two minutes and a half. Edward White, of Yerton, carpenter, a passenger in the second part of the excursion train, said he recollects passing the Stoat's Nest station. The train was going very fast, he should think at the rate of 50 miles an hoar. Mr. Rawlings—l suppose you did not take out your watch. Witness—No. By the Chairman—He did not perceive that the train slackened speed on arriving at the Croydon station. Stephen Walters, of Horsemonden, draper, said he was in the second part of the excursion train. He re membered the train passing the Stoat's Nest station. The great speed of the train attracted his attention. He believed that between Stoat's Nest and Croydon the train travelled at the rate of 40 or 50 miles an hour. He believed that the, speed was slackened a little before reaching Croydon station. He was in a third-class open carriage ; but did not notice the signals. By the Chairman—As far as he could judge, the train entered the Croydon station at a speed of between 20 and 30 miles an hour. Henry Bennett, carpenter, of Croydon-common, said that he was standing on the siding near the switchman's box when the accident occurred. He saw the excursion train come through the Addiscombe-road bridge. It was proceediLg at the rate of 12 or 14 miles an hour 'when the collision took place, but he was not acquainted with the speed of railway trains. William Nash, of Abbford, a porter in the employ of the South-Eastern Company, said he acted as under guard to the second part of the excursion train on the 21st inst. ➢dr. Brown, the s:,ation•master at Bricklayers' Arms, had charge of the train. John Jack was the head guard. It was here stated, in reply to the magistrate. that Jack was unable to attend in consequence of having a fracture of the ribs. . Superintendent Lund inquired whether the magis trate required any further evidence on the subject of the speed of the train The Chairman said he thought further evidence on the point was unnecessary. Capt. Barlow, general manager of the South-Eastern line, said the trains were under the charge of a guard, an under-guard, as many breaksmen as were required, a driver, and a fireman. Witness having explained the duties of these officers, gave similar evidence to that taken by Mr. Payne, She coroner, at the inquest yes terday. By Captain Remmis—The stoker of an engine was under the direction of the driver, whose servant he was for the time being. Alfred Batters, a porter, in the employment of the Brighton Company, said he was present when the acci dent occurred. A person named Gammon was killed. His death was caused by being jammed in between the two seats of a third-class carriage. Mr. George Hawkins, the Brighton superintendent, explained what he had stated on a previous day in refer ence to the working of the telegraph on the Brighton line. He expressed his belief that the trains on the Brighton line, crowded as it was at present, could not be worked by telegraph well. The telegraph was of great use. He considered the Croydon station the best protected station on any line of railway. He considered it quite safe to run through the station at the rate of 45 miles an hour. He agreed with the evidence of Captain Barlow as to the speed at which a train might pass a station. After a consultation amongst the magistrates, Toe Chairman said that the bench had decided on ac quitting Knyvett and Boynett, the driver and stoker of the ballast engine, because they thought there was no evidence against them. They had alto determined on acquitting Kadden, the stoker of the excursion train. But with respect to Simpson, they would be glad to hear whether it was his wish, or the wish of the gentleman who represented him, to offer any evidence to the bench. The magistrates wished to give him an opportunity of anythi, g he might be advised to offer. Mr. Bergon said it was not his intention to call any evidence, or to addre,s the bench on behalf of his client. Simpson was then called up, and, after the usual cau tion, declined saving anything. He was then fully committed for trial, Application was made to admit him to bail, and the magistrates said they would take the question intu con sideration at a sitting next Saturday morning, "OLD BOGIE" NOT A FICTITIOUS CHARACTER.—Many, no doubt, still remember among their earliest impres sions the terror produced by the nurse's threat of sending for " Old Bogie "—such vulgar errors are now happily discarded from nursery discipline. Infants of the present day are taught arts, and sciences, and philo sophy. They are no lo n ger to be intimid a t e d by /Than toms of the imagination. In the spirit of the age they would ask (if they were able), " Who is Old Bogie ?" As some children of a larger growth may l:e curious to learn who was Old Bogie, we copy fiom an old writer what we believe to be the original of the myth that for so many years helped to keep unruly brats in order. In the year 1664 (?) Surat was " pillaged and burnt by a certain robber named Bogie." Our author states that in this conflagration the houses of the Dutch merchants escaped through the especial inter vention of Providence in favour of that most virtuous and industrious little republic, Holland. The extirpa tion of Bogie is not perhaps to be ascribed so much to the march of intellect as to individual good sense and the force of example ; for it is worthy of remark, that Bogie's irrevocable expulsion from the nursery, and his extinc tion as a myth may be dated from the birth of the present heir apparent to the English throne.—Notes and Queries.

HOT WORK AT CHELMSFORD. The pursuit of sport under difficulties was disagree. ably experienced at Chelmsford yesterday. Scarcely a breath of air was stirring, and the scorching heat of an unclouded sun rendered the spectators' languid and in different to the races. The sport, too, was alike most insignificant in quantity and character, awl was not marked by an incident of au interesting nature. The counter attractions at Derby, too, rendered the attend ance of speculators very limited : and, indeed, if some reform be not introduced into the management, the meeting will neither obtain the patronage of the local gentry nor the support of owners of horses. The town committee and race committee may comprise jolly good fellows enough, but they certainly seem incompetent to carry out their undertaking with the slightest shadow of success. The fields were miserably small. Only four started for the Chelmsford Handicap. Little Naughty made all the running, and was only defeated within a few strides of the chair by Miss Bolton. If I make no error of judgment Little Naughty was most clumsily ridden at the finish. Nutpecker slipped, and, I am informed, ricked his back. But for this mischance, I think he would have upset the "pot " on Miss Bolton. The favourites were flu) winners in every instance, ex cept one. 3to 1 was betted on the Marchioness colt for the Galleywood Stakes, but he was beaten easily by Vestige. A horse with more shaky understandings than those of the favourite I never saw, and over the hard course it seemed any odds on his breaking down against his winning. I intended to express my notions al to the probable result of the races at Lincoln, but loan gather no infor mation here respecting the competitors, and lam there fore disinclined to guess even at the winners.

A SLAVE STORY. —The following, extraordinary case occurred in Mississippi, under the slave-law of that state :—A planter was afflicted by a loathsome disease. S.. offensive were the ul cers , th a t h e was d eserted by his girl witea whomupon he bin owneddressed ess a esd his ulcers, white friends ; and whil e thus afflicted and forsake n , a aslavek cleansed in(ll his 3and person, patiently and watched over him until he finally recovered. With gratitude and affection to his bent factress, he took her to Cincinatti, Ohio, executed to her a deed of manumission, had it recorded, returned to Mississippi, and then mar ried her in legal form. They lived together affectionately for many years, reared a family of children, and, as he lay upon his deathbed, by will he divided his property between his wife and children. His brother, hearing of his death, came forward and demanded his property. The widow and children were indignant at the demand. They, too, were seized ; and the validity cf that marriage was tried before Judge Sharkley, of that State, who de cided that the whole matter was a fraud upon the law of slavery—that the property belonged to the collateral heirs. His widow was sold by the surviving brothers, the children were sold off at private auction, and both mother and children now toil in chains or sleep in servile graves. FATAL LANDSLIP AT WEST HARTLEPOOL.—On Thurs day last an extensive landslip took place at the new dock works, West Hartlepool, whereby two labourers lost their lives, and a third was seriously maimed. The soil is of a soft and mossy character, and the cutting hav ing been carried to a depth of about 17 feet, the utmost watchfulness had been used b . ,' the workmen to avoid being under the face of it at critical periods. On this oc casion two watchers were employed, whiletwo men, Ed wd Burns and Thos. Jones, were throwing the " slack" (or loose earth) into a waggon ; and so suddenly did the acci dent occur that no sufficient warning was given to admit of a possibility of escape. The men working at some 50 feet from the spot saw the mass move, and called out to warn their comrades, but in another moment the latter were buried under several tons of earth. Every exer tion was immediately made for the recovery—the entire force of the labourers employed in assisting the work, In three minutes they succeeded in recovering Thomas Jones, who was suffering. fearfully from the injuries he received, and died almost instantly on his being raison from the earth ; but seven minutes further had elapsed before Burns was extricated, when he was, of course, quite dead. The sufferings of Jones must have been intense, as his head was only partially covered, w hil e his body was buried under an immense load.—Sunder lan,l News.

MANSION-HOUSE.—Colwell George Colwell was brought before Alderman Carter, in the custody of King (78), charged with having robbed William Alexander Goodbody. of No. 19, Beeford-terrace, Victoria-park, tailor, of a coat and a chaise rug some time ago. The prosecutor said about three years ago I met the defendant in a public-house on Cornhill. He said he was going to Scotland next day. He was in company with a person with whoml was acquainted, but I did not know the prisoner. He said to me that he wanted a warm great coat and a horse rug to throw into his chaise, and he told me if I had such things by me I was to bring them down to the same house between eleven and twelve o'clock the next day with the bill, and be would pay me. On the succeeding day I took a coat and a rug to the same house at the time appointed, and the.prisoner, who was called by the parties there Lord Colville, was in the house ready to receive them. I addressed him, saying, "Good morning, my lord." He recognised the title, and I laid . the parcel on the table, and went out of the room for a short time. On my return to the room the parcel was gone, and I saw nothing more of it or the prisoner till about six weeks ago, when I watched him to a house in, I think, Great Bell alley, into which he walked, followed by me. I said to him, "About that coat and horse tug ?" and he replied, " Come again on Wednesday, and I'll pay you." I ran down to London wall to get a policeman, but could not find one, and then I went to the station-house, and brought thence an officer With me to the place in which I had left the prisoner, but he was gone. I have been repeatedly at the house, but could not find him till this day, when I gays him into custody. The prisoner said the matter was a mere debt, and that the statement contained a great deal of the fabulous, having no foundation' except in the angry imagination of the prosecutor,, who knew right well that the dealing had nothing felonious about it. Alderman Carter—Did he tell you that he was a nobleman ? Witness—He told me he was Lord Colville Darce, that a great part of Scotland belonged to him, that he was member of Parliament for some town or borough in Scotland, and t 1 at. he. was going to his native place next day. Upon that representation he took his order. Alderman Carter—Had you any idea of leavin:r the goods witholt getting the amount of your demand ? Witneis—Not the least. Alderman—Had you made out any invoice or bill of the goods ? Witness—No. The coat was to be 2/. 155., and the rug was to be 15s. _ _ _ - Alderman Carter—Did you deliver the parcel to Lim ? Witness—l did nut. I laid it on the table, and I had no conversation. further. than saying, "Good morning, my lord," when I put. down the_ parcel. The prisoner denied that he ever Lad any interview with the prosecutor at all. He remembered that he had had a dealing of the kind with a tradesman named Har vey some time ago, and he had at home an invoice of the goods which he had purchased, and he remembered, too, that a partner of the tradesman had called on him at Croydon for the amount, which he accordingly promised to liquidate in a few days ; that he called at the address of Mr. Harvey according to his promise with the money, but could not find any one connected with the firm, The officer who apprehended the prisoner said—l have received information that a person who c impletely an swers the description of Lord Colviile, as the prisoner is called, succeeded in getting safes to •a considerable amount from Messrs. Milner and Co., and believe that if the prisoner he remanded I shall be able to bring forward evidence to that effect. The pri,onPr—The whole is a tissue of lies. There is not one word of truth in all that has been stated. Alderman Carter—Let the Parliamentary records be examined with reference to the prisoner. The prisoner —There is no occasion for any search of the kind. lam not, nor have I ever been, nor have I ever said that I have been, a member of parliament. All that is false, as well as the particulars of the charge. Alderman Carter—l shall remand you for further examination. The prisoner—l suppose you will have no objection to let me at liberty upon my own recognisance to appear berme you Alderman Carter—You are quite mistaken. I shall not do anything of the kind. The prisoner, who repeated that every word which had been spoken to his disadvantage was a falsehood, was then remanded till Thursday. Mr. Parry, the barrister, attended upon the part of Griffiths and Newcombe, the scrip brokers, who were summoned at the instance of Captain Lean, the Govern ment emigration agent, in consequence of the violation of the Passengers' Act in several cases similar to those already publicly detailed. Mr. Maynard, of the firm of Crowder and Maynard, attended for the prosecution, and Alderman Carter adjourned the consideration of the complaint, in order to await the decision of the Lord Chief Baron upon the hearing of the matter of a writ of Habeas Corpus issued at the instance of Newcombe, who is now in the custody of the governor of Holloway prison. The justice room was crowded with dis consolate candidates for emigration, who handed to the alderman the copy of a petition to the Colonial office, of which document the following is a paragraph : —" There are o❑ board the Jane Greene about 150 souls, a portion of whom entered the ship on the 18th inst. On the 20th the food supplied was the gift of a private individual. On the 21st, but one entire meal was served out, the residue of that gift ; and on the 22d no rations whatever were afforded until nine o'clock in the evening, when two kind friends brought us 18 half quartern loaves. On the 23d, the rations were received by order of the Commissioners of the Bankruptcy Court, which allowance will be discontinued on Tuesday next, and the passengers be then ordered to leave the ship. Under these Circumstances, and many of us being from the most distant parts of the country, and having been subject to the delay of two and three months, waiting all that time in London, delusive guarantees daily given of the ship going to sea, we are now entirely destitute." 11TARLBO ROUGH-STREET. THE NEW BEER BILL.—THE "TRAVELLER" QUESTION.—SeveraI licensed victuallers were summoned before Mr. Hardwick for keeping open their houses for the sale of liquors after the hour of ten at night on Sunday, the 20th instant. Two or three were excused on payment of costs, with a caution to be more careful in future. The following casts raced the much-vexed question of what constitutes a traveller. Charles Skinner, landlord of the B!rck Horse, Oxen den-street, was charged with serring liquor alter 10 o'clock on Sunday Light. The case was prov e d by the police, who saw the drive r and conductor of a Brentford omnibus served with re freshment after legal hours. The landlord did not deny the statement, but alleged, in explanation, that lie served the two persons withre freshment because he considered they cane within the meaning of the clause which made an exception in favour of travellers. The driver and conductor had come from Brentforil, had finished one journey, and were about to go back to Brentford, at which place they would arrive too late to obtain refreshment. Mr. Hardwick thought it was drawing the matter very fine indeed to say that these persons were travellers. He could not view them in that light, and it did not ap pear to him that the Legislature intended to include such cases in the privilege accorded to travellers. Besides, the omnibus persons, if they really wanted refreshment, could have draw n u p ou the road and supplied them selves before t en o ' c l oc k. The Solicit or f or t h e d e f e ndant —As there was an im portant principl e i nvo l ve d, he wished to draw the atten tion of the cour t to t h e f ac t that decisions had been given recently sons coming f rom Ri c h m ond, Kingston, and simi la r dis by magistrates whic h went to show that per tances were to be regarded as travellers. The persons who were served by the defendant had come from Brent ford, and were about to return to Brentford, there fore they could hardly be regarded as being otherwise than travellers. Mr. Hardwick said that it was possible that the de fendant had acted on mistaken views as t the meaning of the act, and he should therefore only call upon him to pay the costs. Mr. Hardwick further intimated to the solicitor that he would consult his colleague on this case, but he had no doubt himself on the question. Thomas Simpkin, landlord of the Nag's Head, South Audley-street, was summoned for a like offence. The police proved that a pot of beer was sent out to some perscns in the mews, and that on entering the de fendant's house, twod persons were found, who were drinking gin and water. The defence was that the two persons in the house were lodgers. The per-ors who were served with beer outside of the house were n ei g hbours, who had just re turned f rom an excursion by railway, and were served with refreshment as travellers. Mr. H a rdwick said they appeared to he getting into a delectable state of Toystitication on this question. If neighbours were to be considered as travellers, he did not see where the line was to be drawn. The question of distance must be regarded, and as it was im possible he could consider the defendant's neighbours came w'thin the meaning of the word " traveler," even though they had jin-t come off a railway jturuoy, he must require the defendant to pay the costs. LAMBETH. --Yesterday a number of summonses taken out by the churchwardens of the di,trict church of St Luke, Norwood, was set down for hearing before the Hon. G. C. Norton. Th e first called on was that against M r . Riward Brown, a g entleman residin g at the Lawn, Lower Norwood , for the p a y ment of 3/. 155., an arrear of three yea - s' church rates. Mr. Brown, in rcply to the summons , sa id tint he had a:r,:,(1:; paid the rate in q trtstion. to the church wardens of the Brixton p ortion of the parish, between whom and the churchwardens of St. Luke dispute existed. He did not care to which he paid the rate, but be objected to pay twice. A. barrister, who represented the churchwardens, ad mitted that such disputes did exist, and the case was adi.urned to a future day, Mr. Norton having observed that it was rather hard on Mr. Drown that he should be put to the me onvnoience of att,oding, and did-not think it was right he 8 hould be put to any expense in the matter. _ _ The next summons, against Mr. Henry Bicknell, also of the Lawn, Norwood, being prwisely the same as the last, it also was adjourned. The third was against Mr. William Rayner, who was said to be a Roman Catholic, and when it was called on a brother of Mr. Rayner handed to the -magistrate a letter, representing that he (Ifr. Rayner) disputed both the validity of the rate and his own liability thereto, as he had been incorrectly assessed. _ _ The chuz'chwardens' advocate argued that no legal objection could be urged at , the present stage of the pro ceeding. If the defendant had anything to urge against the validity of the rate, he should have .given notice . of trying it in the Ecclesiaitical Court ; and having failed in this, the duty of the magistrate became merely minis terial. Mr. Thorn, the parish clerk of the district church of St. Luke, and also the collector of the church-rate, de posed to the rates hiving been made, the first on the 16th April, 1852, on which the defendant owed Bs. 4d , and the second on the 18th April, 1853, on which the defendant was assessed for 10s. Bd. Mr. Rayner, the brother to the defendant, expressed a hope that the case might be adjourned to a future day, when his brother would be in• attendance, as he believed he had a good defence to the charge. After some discussion as to the legality of the rate, and a reference to many of the law authorities on the sub ject, Mr. Norton expressed his surprise that it never oc curred to the Legislature to raise this rate by pew rents, which would be the proper and legitimate mode of rais ing it, and which would put an end to the very unplea sant bickering to which the present mode of raising it gave rise. The case of Mr. Rayner, as well as the others, was ultimately adjourned to a future day. THE LONDON GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT.

INCENDIARY FIRES AT MANCHESTER. -On Monday evening, about a quarter pest eight o'clock, an alarm was given that the cellar warehouses of Messrs. Wilkin son and Davison, calico merchants, Morley-street, Man chester, were on fire. The fire brigade were sent for and arrived with an engine in a very short time, but in the interval Palice-constable Andrew Action had effected an entrance, and found that the cause of alarm was a quantity of burning cotton wool wrapped in a paper, which had been thrown in through a window, and had done no harm beyond burning a hole in the counter. A pane of glass had been newly broken in a front window, most likely for the purpose of throwing in the burning material. The warehouse extends under three others, belonging to other parties, and had the incendiary fully effected his object a large amount of property would no doubt have been destroyed. An in cendiary fire is also reported to have been attempted on Saterday night last. Paacrrneen JOKING IN LIVERPOOL.—During the last week a series of "practical jokes" have been perpe trated on Mr. Henry Hunt, of the Star Hotel. William. son-street, Liverpool, believed to be the production of a coterie of " strong-minded women," out of re venge to Mr. Hunt, who is a widower, for the suc cessful manner in which he resisted their individual attempts to obliterate his date of single blessedness. The facts are brifly these :—On Thursday morning a violent knocking was heard at Mr. Hunt's door, at an early hour, and on proceeding to ascertain the cause, Mr. Hunt found a bevy of sweeps from rival proprietors, who each had been furnished by a note s igned by Mr. Hunt, that all the flues in the house required sweeping. Later in the same day, the house was besieged with appraisers "to take an inventory of the goods," and by messengers from tradesmen in every quarter of the town with quantities of glass, gro ceries, &c. In the evening a journeyman joiner entered the house to measure Mr. Hunt for his c , ffin, and having been told of the trick played upon him ap peared greatly disappointed. Several of the leading medical practitioners were surnmened by the sime hande , riting to call to see Mr. Hunt, who had, it was alleged. been attacked with premonitory symptoms of cholera. But the "unkindest cot of all" was reserved for Friday morning, and when a hearse and two mourn ing coaches drove up to the door of the Star Hotel, and the driver, in a sable suit and white choker, demanded "if the funeral was ready." This was the most serious '`joke," as Messrs. Busby, to whom the order was sent, happeeed to have all their hearses and mourning para phernalia engaged, and were compelled, at an expense of upwards of '6/., to borrow them from a rival pro prietor. Not content with the above and sundry other performances, the " jokers" wrote co pies of the m trriaire of Mr. Hut with a Mrs. Grady. widow of a Tippevry squire ; of the death ef Mr. Hunt, at his resi.l , nco, avid of the birth, at the S at Hotel. of the wife of Mr. H. Hunt of a son and heir, all on the same day, and sent each to a separate newspaper. ‘Ve learn that Mr. H. was successful in suppressiteer the birth and his death in the local newspapers, but the fact of his marriage crept into -everal. The authorities have obtained a clue to the perpetrators ; and we fear, from the nnrnlik, and reApeeta.bility of the " depcn," th e y will prove but "sorry jests" if the per Orators are di.- covered. - . V): LA. - i COUNTRY MARKETS. LIVERPOOL—AnGusT 29. The attendance of millers and dealers was pretty fair. A better business was effected in wheat than was anticipated, by holders making a concession of about 6,1 per bushel from Tuesday last.
