CRIMINAL COURT.—August 17 OLD COURT. ( Continued from our First Edition of Yesterday.) THE FIRE IN FLEET-STREET. Mr. Parry having addressed the jury for the prisoner, Mr. Baron Martin summed up the case with great minuteness, and with his usual impartiality, The jury retired to consider their verdict at six o'clock, and were about half an hour absent. Upon their return into court they gave a verdict of guilty. The learned Judge, in passing sentence, said that the jury, after a very careful inquiry, had felt themselves compelled to find the prisoner guilty, and he had no hesitation in saying that he entirely concurred in that verdict. He considered the offence of wilfully setting fire to a house one of the most aggravated crimes that could be committed, and it was dreadful to contemplate the consequences that might have resulted from the com mission of such an act in a place like Fleet-street. A. very short time ago his life must have been forfeited, but although the law no longer went to that extent he must, no doubt, have prepared himself to receive the next severest penalty of the law for the crime of which he had been convicted. His lordship concluded by passing upon the prisoner the sentence of transportation for life. Francis Quick, who pleaded guilty on Wednesday to a charge of obtaining goods from tradesmen to a large amount three months before his bankruptcy, with a fraudulent intention, was brought up for judgment, and .entenced to be imprisoned for 18 months. THIRD COURT. (Before Russell Gurney, Esq., Q.C.) Jane Redford, aged 39, a respectable-looking woman, was indicted for marrying John Flynn, her husband being alive. It appaared, from the certificates, that she married her first husband in 1839 at St. Sepulchre's, and the second one at Kensington, in September, 1853. The second husband, a very respectable looking man, some years her senior, said that he had lived with her for some time previously to marriage, and she toll him that her husband had lett her fur another woman, and that he bad died of the cholera. The prisoner said she thought that to be the case. The police•o(ficer who took her in charge said that %Vita untrue, for when he apprehended her, she told him her husband was living. The jury found her guilty, and she was sentenced to two months' imprisonment. John SARA, a respectable-looking middle-aged man, was iadicted for bigamy. Mr. O'Brien prosecuted ; and Mr. Payne defended. The prisoner, in this instance, had married his first wife in 1844, at St. Peter's, Bethnal-green, and his second wife at the same church in 1854. Mr. Payne, for the prisoner, said that the prisoner having been away from his first wife, who had left him for another man, about seven years, he had thought he had a right to marry again. Mr. Gurney said that persons should know that under any circamstances a marriage contracted whilst the first wife lived was not a legal one, and that for the parties not to have seen each other for seven years was not enough ; they must use diligent inquiries as to whether each other were still living, and then they would escape the penal consequences of the act. Mr. Payne said, unfortunately persons in prisoner's station did not know where the line should be drawn. This man's wife had been away from him above eight years. It was here stated that she had left him two years al ter the marriage in consequence of the ill-treatment and want to which she had been subjected. Mr. Payne said that was not true, and called a wit ness, who stated that prisoner was an industrious, ho nest man, and did not live happily with his first wife in consequence of her love of pleasure, and her giving her company to a lover of hers before her marriage, and with whom she had now gone to live, and by whom she now had three children. The second wife, a pretty, respectable-looking young woman, said that her parents were aware of the priso ner's situation, and thought that the marriage would be legal. Prisoner had never deceived her, and behaved very kindly. The Jury found him guilty ; and, under the circum stances, he was sentenced to one month's imprisonment. Patrick, M'Keown,e, aged 16, a respectable-looking Irish lad, was indicted for cutting and wounding Patrick Barry, with intent. Mr. Metcalfe prosecuted, and Mr. Ribton defended. The parties, it appeared, all of whom are Irish, lived at the Hand and Shears, public-house, Middlesex-street, Whitechapel, and on the 25th of July, in the afternoon, the prisoner began insulting prosecutor's wife and daugh ter, and upon his going to remonstrate with him for his conduct, the young ruffian aimed a kick at the lower part of his person, and hurt him very seriously. He then fetched a poker, and, whilst some person held pro secutor, prisoner, holding the poker in both hands, knock him down by a blow upon the temple, from the effects of which he was for some time in a dangerous state, and was now very bad. For the defence it was proved that there had been a row in this Hibernian Agapemone going on for twelve months continually, in consequence of the difference of their religious tenets, prosecutor and his family being taunted with being Orange Presbyterians, and a diqgrace to their country ; and a host of witnesses were called to prove that the mother of the 'prisoner had been knocked down by prosecutor. There was the usual amount of hard swearing upon both sides, and it appeared that upon this Sunday after noon there was a general Irish fight in the house. Mr. Ribton contended that it was merely a case of an unlawful wounding. Upon this count the prisoner was convicted, and sen tenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. This, with a few other cases, ended the business of the session. The New Court did not sit this day. The next session commences on Monday, Sept. 18. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. LAMBETH.—A RUFFIAN HuSßA.ND.—Yesterday William Conk, a savage-looking mechanic, was charged before Mr. Elliott with committing a most brutal assault on Jane Cook, his wife. The wife, whose left eye was very black and appa rently much injured, and her left cheek and jaw much swollen and discoloured, deposed that on that morning, about 1 o'clock, her husband, without any other provo cation than her being absent from home at his dinner • hour, made a violent attack on her, knocked her down several times with his clenched fist, and while on the ground kicked her with great force on the ja Iv. So se vere were his kicks that for some time she thought her jaw was broken, and she was then labouring under the most excruciating pain from it, as well as the injuries done to her eye ; but still she did not want to hurt her husband. Two persons who had been awoke by the screams of the unfortunate woman, and who had witnessed the out rage from their window, described it as the most savage proceeding they had ever seen. The prisoner had been engaged, they said, for fully 20 minutes in knocking down and kicking the unfortunate woman, and it was their impression at the time that he had killed her or at least disabled her for life. _ . In reply to the charge, the prisoner said that on coming home to his dinner on the day before he found no dinner prepared for him, and his wife out on the drink. • On returning home at night she was still absent, and he ultimately found her with a number of her drink ing companions in a public-house much the worse for liquor. This exasperated him, knowing that she might be perfectly comfortable but for her drunken propen sities. The complainant here said it had not been her inten tion to say a word against her husband, but to beg him off if she could ; but as he thought proper to make such charges against her, she wished to inform his worship that for a length of time she had supported her husband by her prostitution. Mr. Elliott observed that but for the profligacy and drinking habits of the wife herself, he should have im posed the utmost penalty ; but as it was, he should com mit the prisoner to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. ALLIEGED ABDUCTION.—A gentleman `of high re spectability in the City attended before the magi strate, to answer to a summons charging him with committing an assault on a West-end hair-dresser, at the Waterloo Station, and from what transpired when the summons had been applied for, it appeared that the complainant bad a sister who was entitled to a considerable fortune, and who had been in duced by some interested parties to leave her home and go into the country. Her brother, after some difficulty, traced her to Southampton, and prevailed upon her to return to town with him. On arriving at the Waterloo Station they were met by her guardian (the present de fendant) and some members of his family, when a scuffle took place, and during its continuance the young lady was spirited away to where her brother did not know, and could not find out. —The defendant came accompanied by his attorney, and a counsel learned in the law, and the complainant by his man of law also. The case was called on in its usual course, and the complainant was in the wit ness-box and sworn, when the parties came to an amicable arrangement, the defendant, as executor and guardian to the young lady, having consen ted to disclose to her bro ther her present place of residence, and to allow him to correspond with her, and thus the audience in the court and the public were deprived of disclosures alleged to be of a novel and somewhat romantic character. The summons was withdrawn by consent. THAMES.—Cumous Arrucurfox.—James Smith, a seaman in her Majesty's service, at present walingstyn on board the Crocodile , receivin g -ship (who, it re membered, was committed from this court a short time since on a charge of perjury preferred by a person named Massey, an outfitter and shipping-agent, of Upper East Smithfield, and who was acquitted at the Central Criminal Court on Wednesday last) , applied to Mr. Ingham to know how be should proceed for the recovery of 1/. 125., which he alleged was due to him by Massey. He re peated what bad been the foundation of the charge of perjury—that Massey hired him to go onboard an Ame rican ship, where he received an advance-note for 3/. 10s., which he handed over to Massey. Half of it he allowed to Massey for a snit of clothes, leaving still due to him (applicant), allowing for 2s. fid. cash received, the sum of 11. 12s. 6d. M r. Ingham--But as you did not serve on board the American vessel, Massey could not have got the note cashed ! Smith—Yea, sir, he did ; for I sailed as far as Cardiff in the American ship before surrendering as a deserter from the navy. Mr. Ingham—l am afraid, as it was an American ship, I can do nothing for you. Smith—That is very hard. I think I have good cause of ccaoplaitit against Mammy anal that he ix liable to au _ action for false imprisonment, as well as to an indictment for perjury. Mr. Ingham—You must consult with your attorney as to that. Smith—l was acquitted by a jury, though there were two councillors and a judge against me. Mr. Ingham—lf you think you can establish a case against Massey, pursue him for the amount in the county court. The applicant, who was accompanied by one of the petty officers of the Crocodile, then left. HA. MMERS I ITH.—ExTRAORDINARY APPLICATION AGAINST A ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST —Shortly before the closing of the court, Mr. Martin, solicitor, attended by Mr. Parkins Jones, the relieving officer of Fulham, applied to Mr. Paynter for a summons against the Rev. Dr. Ferguson, the Roman. Catholic priest of St. Thomas's Chapel, in the Fulham-fields, under Jervis's Act, to show cause why he should not be committed for a felony for having knowingly and wilfully solemnised a marriage between a young woman named Hannah Sarah Steel, of English parents, and a young Irishman named Cokely, in the absence of the registrar of marriages for the district. Mr. Martin said the ceremony of marriage; according to the rites of the Roman Catholic religion, was performed in September last by Dr. Ferguson, in St. Thomas's Chapel, which was a registered place for the solemnisa tion of marriages, &c. The young woman at that time was pregnant by Cokely, who was one of Dr. Ferguson's congregation, and it seemed that his client did all that was necessary in giving the proper notices to the super intendant registrar. It further appeared that the notice was given for the marriage to take place in a Roman Catholic chapel in Kensington, and that Cokely after wards wished to be married in Fulham-fields Chapel. She then applied to Mr. Strowther, the regristrar of marriages, to know if she could do so. and she was told that she could not. However, Dr. Ferguson sent for her and Cokely one night and offered to marry them at that time, it being half past nine o'clock, but in conse quence of their not having the fees it was put off until the following morning, when the marriage did take place in the vestry-I oom, in the absence of the registrar, and only one witness, V% hiell was also improper, as two witnesses were required. The witness who was present, happened to be the father of Cokely. Oo the night before the mar riage his client gild Dr. Ferguson of the notice having been given for the marriage to take place in Kensing ton, and he replied that it made no difference, and that he could marry them in his chapel. The marriage turned out a villainous affair, for the husband and his father absconded a few nights afterwards to Aineri6a, taking with him all her ploney which she had saved while in service. She afterwards obtained relief, and was confined in the Fulham union workhouse of a child. She subse quently ascertained that her marriage was null and void, and on Wednesday last she obtained an order before the bench of magistrates at the Kensington petty sessions against the father of the child, and the whole of the magistrates expressed themselves in strong terms upon the improper conduct of Dr. Ferguson, and offered to assist in a prosecution against him. Mr. Paynter observed that it was notorious that the registrar of marriages was required to be present to lega lise the ceremony in registered places. Mr. Martin said Dr. Ferguson must have known that he was doing wrong, for he had formerly been a Pro testant minister, and a curate of Brompton. He also produced a document in the handwriting of Dr. Fergu son, who had afterwards given the young woman what was termed a certificate of the marriage, and he under stood that endeavours had been made to get it back. Mr. Paynter said it was important that such a case should be inquired into, and at once granted the summons. Mr. Martin afterwards informed the worthy magis trate that several Irishmen had insulted the young woman as she was lea,ving the court, and he had taken means to place her away from the neighbourhood of Fulham-fields until after the matter had been investigated. OPENING OF THE LONDONDERRY, SEA RAM, AND SUNDERLAND RAILWAY. On Thursday the 3d fast., this important undertaking, which owes its existence to the penetrating sagacity and indomitable perseverance of the mind that stole Seaham Harbour from the ocean, was opened for traffic amid great public rejoicing. It will be needless for us here to recapitulate the various circumstances which sug. gested to the mind of the late noble Marquis the neces sity for the undertaking which has now been so success fully completed, but a few particulars as to the external features and general character of the line in its finished state will not be found uninteresting. The remarkable rapidity with which the undertaking was conceived, planned, and carried through, contrasts strikingly enough with other instances of railways enterprise with which are in this neighbourhood somewhat painfully familiar. The first sod was raised by the late Marquis in a field near to Seaham Harbour, in February, 1853, but the works were not virtually commenced until the month of April following, so that in the space of little more than sixteen months a work has been successfully carried out which is represented as quite a model of con structive skill, and which is undoubtedly destined to exercise an important influence on the rising fortunes of the district through which it has been carried. The line is six miles in length, and will be brought into connec tion with the following six collieries in the po-isession of the present Marchioness—South Hetto', Murtop, Has well, Shotton, Seaham, and Seaton. But while by this arranoternent the primary object of the undertaking is secured, the comfortof the travelling public has not been overlooked. Commodious stations, we are told will be formed for passenger accommodation at each end of the line, and there will also be one near to the . village of Ryhope. By this means the only obstacle to an enjoy ment of "a day on the Sands at Seaham " will be re moved, and the attractions of the place once becoming known, we may confidently predict for it a large amount of renown as one of those now popular localities where bipeds of the picnicing and cheap trip genus do most delight to congregate. But to return. On the morning of the opening day the various bridges and viaducts on the line underwent the process of testing and inspection at the hands of a party of scientific gentlemen, and with results sufficient to reflect the greatest credit on the contractors, Messrs. Forster and Lawton. The gentlemen engaged in these very necessary operations were Mr. G. Elliott, C.E. ; Mr. Charlton, sub-engineer of the line ; Mr. Turnbull, of the York, Newcastle, and Berwick Railway ; Mr. Henderson, engineer ; and Messrs. Burlinson. The viaducts across the delis which runs through the Sea ham Hall estate arelen three in numbheight 64 feeter, and measureSea as follows ; Dalton, gth, 320 feet, ; ham Hall, length 200 feet, height 85 feet ; Ryhope, length 400 feet, height 85 feet. They are all formed of wood, and contain an aggregate of about 44,000 cubic feet of timber. The contractors for that portion of the work have been Messrs. Robson and Son, Sunderland. The train conveying the above mentioned gentlemen was shortly after its arrival at Seaham joined by a party from the Hall, consisting of Earl Vane, Lord Adolphus Vane -Tempest, M.P., Lord Ernest Vane- Tempest, and Mr. Neilson. Having taken their seats in the train, the carriages were afterwards filled by a miscellaneous company, and the parties were soon in motion towards Sunderland, followed by a train of 26 coal waggons from the South Hetton Pit, and which were intended for the first shipment at the new drops. On arriving at th is s p ot, the nob l e v isitors were mei bcyornMpra.nGy,eolurgre. C. Bramwell, vice-chairman, and other dock directors, who guided the party to a spot where the shipment could be seen to advantage. In a few minutes a waggon was run on to the drops (the work, we ought to mention, of Messrs. Burlinson), and then, amid the cheers of those present, and the thundring of cannon which bad been placed in the immediate vicinity, it was lowered on the brig Elizabeth Packer, whose hold received the first shipment. The large party which had now congregated together then formed themselves into processional order, and, guided by the dock • chairman and directors, proceeded on a tour of inspection round the south entrance. After the circuit of the dock had been duly completed the party proceeded to the dock-office, where between sixty and seventy gentlemen sat down t o a sumptuous collation, set out. in the board-room. The chair was occupied by Mr. G. Hudson, M.P. and the vice -chairs by Mr. C. Bramwell and Mr. J. J. Wright. The chair man was supported on his right by Ea rl Vane, Mr. Stewart, and Mr. Morton, agent to the Earl of Durha ord m ; and on his left by the Mayor of Sunderland, L Adolphus Vane-Tempest, M.P., and Lord Ernest Vane- Tempest, M.P. Among other gentlemen present we observed Mr. Plews, Darlington ; Mr. George Elliott ; Mr. Anderson, Pensher House Mr. C. Webster, p a ni on Hail • Mr. J. Lain g , J.P. ; Mr. Ralph Carr, J.P, ; Murray, engineer t o the dock company ; Mr. Wight, Seaham ; and Mr. Charle ton, engineer to the new railway; Mr. I. B. Ord , Mr. John Clay, Mr. Alderman Reed, &c been disposed of in., &a. The us ual lo y al toasts havi g a befitting m anner, the chairman, in appropriate t erms , p r oposed the A rm y and Navy, coupled with th e h ea lth o f Lord A. Vane -Tempest, to which his lordship responded in app ro p riate terms. The CHAIRMAN next p S rop underland Railway, proposed "Prosperi t y to the Londonderry, S ea h am , and in doing so took occas ion to pass a warm but merited eulooium on th e c h arac t e r of the depa rted marquis, one of the latest of wh ose t r iumphs in tho cause of commer cial development they were that day suet to celebrate. Earl VANE replied—ln meeting you here to-dayl am , and partaking of your g enerous hospitality, you will, sure, forgive me if I say that the pleasure which we de rive from your kindness must in some measure be alloyed by melancholy a n d painful recollections. We e his sons, cannot but feel that had it not pleased Providence to take away from this world the master mind that ori ginally conceived and commenced this great undertak ing, we should have been, together with yourselves, the happy witnesses of his success, and the joyous listeners of many a cong ratu l at i on a ddressed to hi m. We should have felt that it would have been most congenial to his feelings to find that, by the exertions of his persevering mind, he had been instrumental in adding another link to the chain of social fellowship and goodwill which has, and I trust ever will, exist between this great commercial town and (as he who is gone from us used to call it) Little Seaham. But it pleased God it should be otherwise ; and although you will, I feel, ex cuse me for reverting to what must be uppermost in our minds—our sad and melancholy bereavement—still lam sure I shall be forgiven if , addressing as I do those so closely connected with the interests of this county, I am perhaps carried away by devotion to a fond parent's memory. I cannot but call to mind the deep affection and interest he ever felt in this the count of his adop tion. Following in early y ears a soldier's fortune, he by his own exci g }lire in our country's army, and a seat in our highest senate. Afterwards, by the chance of life, he became the repre sentative of one of the finest properties in the north Of Iroland, But did all time honours ficKluce him from the county of his adoption ? Were not the great means which undoubtedly came into his hand s dis- I pensed, and largely dispensed, in this county, not so I much for himself, but for those who succeeded him— were not the great mineral and mercantile resources of the county in some degree developed by his exertions — was not labour employed and money circulated ? And though it may have cost many an anxious thought and many a sleepless night for the purpose of business and responsibility which laid their heavy weight upon him— though the commencement of his great undertaking was ridiculed by all, and termed the plaything of the eastern blast, who can speak more feelingly than I, his son, when I see Seaham Harbour flourishing and a trade communi cation established between it and this important town ? It is a source of the greatest satisfaction to us, as I feel certain from your kindness to us on this occasion it is to you, that (though the projector was not permitted to see his work completed) she, as whose representative I am here to-day, has succeeded in completing that under taking which her beloved husband began, and of which posterity will reap the advantages. In her name and our own I thank you most deeply and sincerely for the kindness and, affectionate feeling you have evinced to wards her and ourselves. Under happier and brighter circumstances she would have been rejoiced to have been present on this occasion, and her house would have been open to all ; but crushed as she is in spirit, and widowed as she is in heart, she has felt herself wholly inadequate to the task. Wishing, however, that, though the com pletion of my poor father's dearest object should be hailed by us with every feeling of satisfaction and joy, yet that the tear of sorrow and regret which must damp her widowed cheek, should at least be shed in silence over the loss of one so kind, so brave, and true, the partner of thirty-five years' happiness. .Bute I have dwelt too long on selfish subjects, and I must ask your pardon and forgiveness. In my mother's name I thank you most sincerely for your reception of us this day, and the inte rest you have displayed in this our undertaking. I would only hope that the union which has existed be tween this important town—important in its commerce, its manufactures, and alcove all its magnificent docks— and the Harbour of Seahaaa may never he severed, and that each succeedieg year may give fresh vigour to the further improvement and development of all those schemes and operations which have brought forward to the pre-eniinent position which they hold the resources of this great and important county. (Applause) The noble earl then concluded by proposing " Snccess to the Dock, and Sunderland's Prosperity," coupled with the name of Mr. Hudson. The CHAIRMAN acknowledged the toast in an appro priate speech, and concluded by proposing the health of Lady Londonderry, to which Earl Vane responded. Among the other toasts were that of the Earl Vane, proposed by Mr. C. Bramwell ; the Mayor of Sunder land ; the Chairman, G. Hudson, Esq., M.P., &c. In responding to the toast of " the Members for the Northern Division of the County," Lord A. Vane Tem pest spoke as follows :—Accept my warmest thanks for the kind manner in which you have received the toast of my health that has been proposed to you in, I fear, but too flattering terms by my kind friend Mr. Wright. Personally, I have indeed much to feel grateful for to this county. I originally became known to you when inexperienced in public life. I appealed to the generosity of an important constituency, who afterwards conferred on me the high honour of returning me as their representative. When, owing to circumstances known to you all, I was without a seat in Parliament, and at a time when, from a sad bereavement to our family, the county seat was vacant, I was, by the kindness and indulgence of this great county, permitted to enter unopposed into the proud and responsible post of being one of your representatives. I feel I owed this result not to any merits or personal claims that I could advance, but to your generosity, and the circumstances under which I appealed to you, and I can assure you that—though others might have been proud, with far greater talents and ability, to attend to your important interests—no one would entertain a more sincere and conscientious desire to evince his gratitude by devoting his time and any capabilities he is possessed of to watch iog your interests, and to the best of his power promot ing your welfare. Interested as I must ever feel in the rapidly increasing prosperity of this great country, and more particularly in the wife development of its mineral resources, I have felt much gratified at witnessing the completion of an undertaking which, by the blessing of Providence, we may confidently anticipate wilt tend to carry out tbis great end. On such an occasion, the opening of a work, which, considered as one of private enterprise, is of no small proportions, one of such great local interest as connecting Sunderland with her younger sister Seaham, as well as general advantage and utility, even ,a stranger's first impulse would be to enquire, whose was the mind that planned this scheme—whose the courage and resolve that from the commencement no dangers frightened, no difficulties deterred ! Would it not call forth the tear of regret from the most indifferent to be told that the pulse that warmed to these peaceful fights of commercial enterprize, as in past days it had beat tumultuously in battles of more stirring nature, had ceased in its pulsation— that the talents, the genius, the courage of the foinder of Seaham Harbour and pro jector of this railway had passed away—that God bad not willed he should live to see the fulfilments of his un dertaking. None here, therefore, can think it extraneous that those near and dear to him who is removed should on such an occasion pay their humble tribute of respect to his memory, and regret at his loss-. I read in the work of a great author, that there were two sorts of courage—physical courage that despises all danger, will make a man brave in one way ; and moral courage, that despises all opinion, will make a man brave in another. Tne former would seem most necessary for the camp— the latter for the council ; but to constitute a great man both are necessary. I believe I shall have your assent, when I assert that one whose memory we, his sons, must ever cherish, possessed both qualifications of courage. The first carried him, heedless of personal danger, through successful fights, and obtained for him many a well-earned decoration and distinction—the latter forti fied his mind against the opposition of ignorance or pre judice, and enabled him to carry through successfully the great work of Seaham Harbour, and to leave this legacy of a great design to a mourning wife, who, by God's mercy, has been the means of his handing down to pos terity lasting proofs to testify that during his con nection with this -county that adopted him, it be came, and remained, the centre of his affections and regard. I hope this railway will be the means of indissolubly connecting Seaham with Sunderland, that it may serve as one of many arteries that are in future to convey the streams of commerce and of trade to those magnificent docks, the complete success of whicb I trust but a short interval will now demonstrate. (His Lordship resumed his seat amid the most enthusiastic demonstrations of applause. Several other toasts were afterwards given and suit ably responded to, after which the party broke up about seven o'clock. The same evening the contractors and about forty of their friends sat down to dinner at the Londonderry Arms Hotel ; nor were the "navvies" forgotten ; 150 of them having been treated to a very substantial enter tainment in the earlier part of the evening. Could "Young Nick" have witnessed the hearty enthusiasm of these British " sons of the spade" on this occasion, he would, no doubt, have felt there was something like truth in the old song, which says, " Queen Bess she gave him her fist with a smile, And swore 'twas her firm belief, That the devil himself couldn't conquer the Isle, at Whilst Britons were fed upon beef." SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TA.TTERSALL'S—THIIRSDAY. The retreat which was suddenly sounded on the side of Heany for the Great Ebor Handicap caused a great deal of fencing with intentions, and a brisk running fire of hints and inuendos. Although only few members were present, the scene was particularly animated. At first 5 to 2 was offered on the field, and significant looks were exchanged, but no blow was struck ; 100 to 35 was then tried, and for a short time it succeeded ; the next " strike" was for 100 to 30, and it was only to ask and have. At last 4to 1 was laid in ponies, fifties and hundreds; some of the takeri, however, being desirous of " going on" to a heavy amount. A stand was made, and the layers in turn fell back. Meanwhile a demon stration was made in favour of the Grand Inquisitor ; various sums were inveited on him at prices ranging from 500 to 30 to 13 to 1. 10 to 1 would have been taken to some money about Tros, and 12 to 1 in ponies was booked quietly about Kingston. ST. LEGER.-- Nothing occurred to arrest the down ward tendency of King Tom ; from 1000 to 120, taken at the commencement, he fell to 12 to 1, taken and offered. 6to 1 was currently offered agst Dervish ; 8 to 1 taken to a small sum about the Trapper, and 310 to 30 about Scythian.

AUGUST 17.—This annual aquatic festival commenced I yesterday, for two days' sport, and showed s y m p toms of being managed by a cramping committee. Last year all England was invited, and some good racing was the consequence, the Kitten (Mr. Harvey's) being the prin cipal winner ; but some of the local nabobs being dis pleased at the departure from Goole of the two prizes obtained by her, amounting to the overpoweringly mag nificent sum of 201., it was decided this year to throw the regatta open only to the Ouse, Trent, and Hum ber. The rail brought down a fair sprinkling of verdants from the i,.terior, and the steamers afforded their quota of visitors. The morning was cloudy, with wind at W. by N. The afternoon turned out rather squally, the wind varying' between N. and W. The first event came off at 1.35, by six yachts starting for a prize of 81. 10s.—the course being from Saltruarshe to Howden, and back to Goole. Going up they passed Goole—Frolic, Ist ; Pearl, 2d ; Flirt, 3d. Near How den the order was varied, and they arrived at the goal off Goole pier— Pearl Chance Frolic 2.37 Flirt soon after, Wonder and Jassamine a long way astern. Sailing Match for 41.--Sailing boats Flora, Titania, Quiz, Neptune, and Henrietta started. Won by Hen rietta.. A Rowing Match for 31. was won by Mr. Pearson's boat, beating two others. After some delay, caused by the rain, sculling matches and punt hunts consluded the sport of the day. THE NEW BEBE ACT. Yesterday afternoon a meeting of licensed victuallers was held at the Freemasons' Tavern, Great Queen street, Lincoln's-inn-fields, for the purpose of conferring on how they are affected by the Sunday Closing Act of last session, and to determine on the best course to be pursued 11\ them under the circumstances. Mr. SIMPSON, of Cremorne-wirdens, was called to the chair, and at some length set forth the inconvenience to which the trade was subjected by the new bill, and his surprise that nothing more effectual had been done to defeat it during its progress through parliament. He then complained in strong langu ge of the bad faith with which the trade had been treated by the Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society, who had been parties to the bill, and of the daily organ of the trade. It sug gested itself to him that it would be expedient for them now that it had passed and had come into operation, severally to state how far it affectel their business, and then collectively to determine on some course which it would be advisable for them to pursue. - He himself thought that they ought to appoint a deputation to wait on Lord Palmerston, and get the public to cn ; operate with them, by getting up petitions for presenta tion next session, praying for the repeal of the late act. Mr. LucE, of Hampton-court, said that the views and position of the suburban hotel keepers were not quite identical with those of the metropolitan members of the trade. Tliose residing in his own district had lately held a meeting in reference to the question, at which they resolved to keep their houses open during the prohibited hours, and to serve their Sunday cus tomers, whom they regarded as " bona fide travellers." On that resolution they had acted, and would continue to act until the Court of Queen's Bench should decide who was a traveller. He knew that they had been reported for having done so, but was uncertain whether they would be summoned for it immedi ately, or whether they would be cautioned by the police that they were infringing the law, and be summoned for a repetition of the practice. The suburban trade wished for a clear definition of the word traveller, and he thought.they ought to wait on Sir Richard Mayne to ask him to furnish them with one. Mr. HINTON informed the meeting that he bad waited on Sir Richard Mayne in reference to his supplying his customers with tea and confectionery, but he regretted that he had omitted to bring under his notice the ques tion of what constituted a traveller. Mr. LucE continued to say that the privilege of serving tea and confectionery or plain dinners would be no boon to such as he, as it was only on their wines that they had any profit. Mr. FOSTER, of the Railway Tavern, Fenchurch street station, accused the Protection Society and their daily organ of having dealt treacherously by the trade. Mr. HINTON made a similar statement. Mr. FOSTER then said that such conduct, in his opin ion, would justify the meeting in coming to a resolution censuring both the Protection Society and the paper in question, and declared that they had forfeited the con fidence f the trade, by sacrificing the interests of the largest portion of it for the advantage of the few. Mr. LUCE seconded the resolution. Mr. HARRIS thought they ought not to provoke the hostility of a powerful society, Which had large funds in hand, and which would aid them next session in op posing the worst measure with which the trade was threatened. Mr. WHITE stated his concurrence in the views of Mr. Harris. The CHAIRMAN said that his opinion of the society was, that they had endeavoured to bamboozle him. It was absurd to say that they could have done nothing in opposing the bill. He was sure that when be, an indi vidual, had been able to get it considerably modified, the society could, by an earnest opposition, have defeat ed it. They showed such jealousy of his interference, that ho believed that the bill had been promoted by them as a compromise to prevent the trade being thrown open, and he challenged them to deny that they got the Bishop of London to move for the rejection of Lord Harrowhy's amendment. To prevent such treachery for the future they would form a Protection Society for themselves, and establish a paper of their own. After some further discussion, the resolution was unanimously agreed to. A deputation was then appointed to wait on Lord Palmerston, a form of petition agreed to, a Protection Society formed, and a subscription entered into to form its fund ; after which the proceedings terminated in the usual manner. THE LICENSED VICTUALLERS.—A large and influen tial meeting of this body took place at Manchester on Tuesday evening, when the new Beer Bill, closing pub lic-houses on Sundays at earlier hours, was very strongly condemned as interfering with the rights of the public and the vested interests of a trade comprising 60,000 people, and 2,000,0001. sterling of property. The per sons pledged themselves not only to resist further legis lation in the same direction, but to take steps for repeal ing the obnoxious measure. by purchase, vice Hume, promoted ; Henry Hungerford St. Leger, Gent., to be Ensi g n, by purchase, vice Arundel, August 18. 82d Foot—To be Lieutenants by purchase —Ensign John Sidney Hand, vice Bailie, promoted ; Ensign Robert Francis Henry Macgregor Skinner, vice Tinling, w o re tires, August 18.

" Sir,—The Lords of the Committee of Privy Council for Trade are desirous of calling the attention of railway companies to a system of working the trains, which is in use on some r"ilways to a limited extent, and which promises to afford security from accidents, occasioned by collision between trains following each other upon the same line of rails. "This class of accident has been hitherto very nnme• roils, as compared with other classes. In 1853 the tota' number of accidents to trains reported to this depart ment was 103, of which 30 occurred to trains following each other upon the same line of rails; and, in the six months ended the 30th of June in the present year, the total number of accidents to trains which came under the cognisance of this department amounted to 47, of which 13 occurred by collision between trains following each other upon the same line of rails. "The system under which trains are ordinarily worked is, that trains should not be allowed to approach each other within a certain interval of space ; and, to effect this object, signals are exhibited during a certain time after the passage of a train, and no succeeding train is allowed to follow until such interval has elapsed. " Experience, however, shows that this mode of endea vouring to secure a certain interval of space between succeeding trains will occasionally fail, in cases where the speed of the respective trains varies, or where acci dents occur to the machinery of trains ; and when, from any cause, a train becomes stationary on a part of the line away from stations, its safety from a collision with a suc ceeding train is dependent upon the chance of such suc ceeding train being at such a distance as to allow time for the autird to run back with a signal. " With the view of effectually securing that an inter val of space shad, under all circumstances, be at all times maintained between the trains following each other upon a line of railway, the South-Eastern Railway Company have, on portions of their railway, placed electric tele graphic e s d ta t t o io p n a s s a s t o i i n i e te o r f v t a h l s es a e l along the line between it and the next station, until a notifica tion has been received from the next station that the pre ceding train has passed off that pot tion of the line. " On portions of the line where the trains are nume rous and the intervals between them are necesssarily very short, these stations have been placed at little more than a mile apart ; hut, upon parts of the line where the number of trains is more limited, the distance between the ordinary passenger stations has not been found too great an interval. "Into the detailed arrangements my Lords purposely abstain from entering ; they would, however, add, that in-order that the- system should be effectual it is neces sary that a telegraphic wire be exclusively reserved for this service ; and that the instruments used should be simple, and should exhibit the signals with sufficient clearness for the signalling to be carried on by a person of ordinary intelligence. "My Lords are aware that, from considerations of expense or otherwise, this system has not been generally adopted ; yet, in parts where a single line only has been laid, or where peculiar difficulties exist in the working, or in tunnels, directors of railway companies have re sorted to it with the most beneficial results. "My Lords are, therefore, desirous that the subject should receive the careful consideration of the directors of the different companies, in the hope that that con sideration may lead to the more general adoption of a plan which experience seems to have proved to be so well calculated to diminish the risk of danger. "I have the honour to be, Sir, "Your most obedient servant, "DOUGLAS GALTON, Captain Royal Engineers."
