l _.. _. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. WEST LONDON. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern ;Mr. S. Bird in the chair. The report stated that this bill for carrying into effect the arrangement between this company and the London and North-Western Railway Company has become law. The directors will lose no time in carrying ont the pro visions of the new act, and will use every possible exer tion to obtain a satisfactory result. They congratulate the proprietors on their improved situation and pro spects. The directors report an increase in the total traffic on the canal for the half-year of 8,447 tons. In the traffic both to and from the railway there has been a small decrease as compared with the last half-year, in the former of 9 tons, and in the latter of 128 tons. The statement of the receipts and disbursem ents shows that 298,457/. had been received, and 294,8871. expended, leaving a balance of 2,624/. at the banker's and 9451. due the company. On the motion of Mr. J. BIRD, seconded by Mr. oveLEss, the report was received and adopted. In reply to a question, it was stated that nothing had been done in respect to the arbitration between this com pany and the London and North-Western Railway Com pany, but they hoped to be enabled to proceed with it shortly. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the pro ceedings. WIMBLEDON AND CROYDON. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yes terday at Fondall'a Hotel, Palace•yard—Mr. W. Reed in the chair. It appeared from the report that an arrangement had been entered into with Messrs. Peto and Betts for the completion of the undertaking, including the land, sta tions, works, and all other expenses incidental thereto, by which the proprietors would be put in possession of their railway in a fit state fur opening on the 31st of ' March next. Every expense contingent on its comple tion would be covered by the amount of the share capi tal, till., 45,5001. Forthis sum the proprietors would have a single line id railway, with all necessary stations and sid ings. Tue length of the line was 5i miles, being at the rate of 8.4001. per mile. The directors had entered into a conditional arrangement for the purchase of a sufficient quantity i , f land for a &ible line. A considerable por tion of the I and had been purchased, and the works had been commenced under the contract with Messrs. Peto and Batts ' and there was no room to doubt t hat the line would be both' speedily and substantially con structed. Every exertion was being made to obtain the roifo !slim of the land, with a view to shorten any delay that might otherwise occur in the completion of the rail way. The CHAMMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said that the works were proceeding satisfactorily. The undertaking would soon be in a position to enable them to make arrangements for working it themselves, or for leasing it to other parties. The accounts had not been audited, but would he submitted at the next half-yearly meeting duly audited. The receipts amounted to 11,7411., and the expenses to 7,0001., on the 30th of June last, but the expenditure since that date had been increased, owing to the progress of the works. The report was unanimously adopted, and a vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the proceedings. WEST END AND CRYSTAL PALACE. The third ha . f-yearly meeting of the shareholders in this company was herd on Monday at the London Tavern ; Mr. Thomas in the chair. The secretary having read the report and statement of accounts, both of which have already appeared in The Sun, the chairman apolo gised for the absence of Mr. Geach, chairman of the company, and said that the report was so full as to require little or no observation from him. Every thing was going on prosperously, contractors were at work at three stations, and the company had got possession of the greater portion of the necessary land. One gentleman had asked 12,000/. for his land, but the company had obtained it for 4,000/. Arrangements were in progress with the Westminster Terminus Company, which he expected would be ♦ery advantageous. They had got the extension to Farn borough, and expected in co-operation with the South- Eastern to get into Mid-Kent. That company had not as yet come into their views, but negotiations were in progress. About 600 men were employed on the works. The report and accounts were then adopted, and the proceedings terminated. WORCESTER AND HEREFORD. The half-yearly meeting of this company was appointed to be held at the Queen's Hotel, Birmingham, on Mon day, but in consequence of the attendance eat being suf. ficie.ntly numerous to constitute a quorum, it was, after waiting an hour for the arrival of shareholders, ad. journed sine die. It transpired in conversation that the shafts of the tunnel through the Malvern-hills are pro greasing, and that in the next session of Parliament it is intended, if sanctioned by the shareholders of the respec tive companies, to ask for powers in conjunction with the London and North-Western and Midland companies, to raise means for the completion of the works. BLACKBURN. The report of the directors of this company has been issued, and states that their opposition to the proceed ings of the Lancashire and Yorkshire and East Lan. cashire Companies for working arrangements bad been ineffectual in Parliament. They would, however, in the next seseiou oppose the attempt then to be made to effect a complete amalgamation of the companies. As direc tors of a company already under working arrange ments with the Lancashire and Yorkshire, they complain of the alliance with the East Lancashire as having already diminished their traffic, and in stance the present as "another instance of the bad faith with which it has ever treated this (the Blackburn) company, and are in utter disregard of the provisions of the agreement subsisting between them." The directors have been pressed for the repayment of heavy mortgages, but have arranged for the continuance of the loans until the money can be re-borrowed ; and in consequence of these proceedings they propose to discontinue the divi dend upon the preference shares. The receipts for pas sengers and parcels have been 8,4371., and 10,714/. for goods, besides 2,954/. for minerals. Of this the interest on loans, land claims, &c , absorb 9,6011., and working expenses, tolls, &c., 10,0391. BIRMINGHAM, WOLVERHAMPTON, AND STOUR VALLEY. The half-yearly meeting of this company was adver tised to be held in Birmingham on Monday, but, its affairs being now merged in those of the London and North-Western, no shareholders were present, and con sequently no business was transacted. SEVERN VALLEY. At the adjourned half-yearly meeting of this company, held on Monday, at the offices, Parliament-street, Mr. W. Reed in the chair, the only business transacted was the approval of the accounts, the re-election of Mr. S. M. Peto, M.P., and Mr. Jackson, M.P., the retiring directors, and the re•appointhent of Mr. Phillips, the retiring auditor. NEWRY AND ENNISKILLEN. The half-yearly report of the directors of this company states that the receipts on capital account amount to 5,0191., and the payments to 6,8491. With reference to the small balance of 1001. against the company on the revenue account, the directors consider it very unim portant, as they have a much heavier claim against the Dublin and Belfast Junction' Company for breaches of agreement. The directors state that on the opening of the Newry and Enniskillen line the Dublin and Belfast Junction Company refused to furnish the trucks, which caused a delay of four months in procuring others ; and that they also subjected the passenger traffic to a series of obnoxious charges and regulations. Since Mr. Card well's bill came into operation, the weekly traffic returns on the line have increased from 151. per week to nearly 40/ per week, and so soon as the remaining obstacles to the through traffic can be removed, the directors confi dently expect they will reach a much higher amount. The directors have given directions to carry out the ex tension line to the landing-quay at Newry, so that the waggons can load and unload alongside the ships in the basin, and they hope that the works will be completed in the course of the present year. In conclusion they state that, as the funds at their command will folly corn -pie*, the undertaking, they pledge themselves to make no furth er call on the sharehol ders, but will submit all future arrangements that may be proposed t o a s p ec i a l meeting c a ll e d to consider and de termine th e same .

The division of the joint net traffic. receipts has been settled as follows :—To the Ber wick._ Railway Company, 57 . 735 per cent. of the whole a l i a de c ti f:r the year 1854, and 57'1 per cent. for 1855 cent. foree-quent years ; to the York Railway, 33'265 per years and 32 . 9 per cent. in 1855 and subsequent . ; and s t 4 ' and 10 per o the Leeds Northern, 9 per cent. in 1854, cent.

The directors propose that a dividend for the half-year should be declared on the ordinary stock and shares in the Berwick capital stock at the rate of 31 per cent. per annum, on the ordinary stock in the York capital stock at the rate of 2f per cent. per annum, and on the preference quarter-shares and exten sion shares, 134 S (Nos. 1,2, 3), in the Leeds capital stock at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum. "" TriE gtic: LONDON, NVEDNEStiAV ENING, AUGUST 23, 13?;4 SOUTH WALES. The financial statement of this company for the half year ending the 30th of June last shows that 181,5501. had been received on capital account during the half year, and that 182,378/. bad been expended. The total receipts to that date on capital account amounted to 3,847.567/., and the expenditure to 3,865,2461., leaving a balance of 20,679/. against the company. The revenue account for the half-year ending the 30th of June showed that 112,9821. bad been received on the South Wales line, and 74,7411. expended, or 66 . 15 per cent. of the receipts, leaving a balance of 38,2411. The Forest of Dean revenue account shows that 2,5161. had been received during the half-year, and 5261. expended, leaving a balance of 1,9901. The net revenue of the two lines amounts to 40,2301. To this is added in the general revenue account 5,1591. from the preceding half-year, 1,551/. dividend on Vale of Neath shares, 321. registration fees, and 19,2501. from the Great Western Railway Company for the half year's fixed rent of the line from Grange to Carmar then, at 35,500/. per annum,—total, 66,2541. From this is deducted 2351. rent of offices, &c., 26,4371. interest on debentures, and 7,8461. assumed amount due to the Great Western Railway company under the agreement of 29th of March, 1851, leaving a balance of 31,735/. Out of this sum is deducted 4,6121. for the guaranteed divi dend on the 201. shares, leaving 27,122/. This amount is subject to a deduction of about 15,0001., in respect of charges estimated as payable for the supply of rolling stock, and power, &c., prior to the 31st of December, 1853, which had been undercharged in former half-yearly accounts. GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN. ----- The report to be submitted at the next half-yearly meeting of this company phows that the working ex penses for the last six months amount to 59,528/., ex ceeding those of the corresponding period of the. year 1853 by 10,3601. The increase is attributable to the very great advance in the price of every article required for the working and maintaining of railways. The net surplus revenue of the half-year is 51,047/., and the di rectors recommend that out of this sum a dividend be paid at the rate of 4 per cent, per annum, free of income tax. The claims for compensation arising out of the accident at Straffan on the sth of October last, might now be considered as all settled. They will not exceed :27,000/., including costa. The branch line from Port arlington to Tullamore is nearly completed, and will be opened for public traffic next month. WELWYN, LUTON, AND DUNSTABLE. A public meeting of the inhabitants of Luton wa►s held on Thursday, for the purpose of promoting the above proposed line—Mr. R. How presided. Resolutions were passed in favour of the scheme, and a committee wa.i appoineed to take the necessary steps to carry out the undertaking. It was stated that the line would cost 120,0001., and that the promoters were prepared to advance 40,000/ , provided the local parties subscribed the remainder. The length of the line would be 17 miles, commencing by a junction with the London and North-Western Railway at Dunstable, passing through Luton along the valley of the Lea by Wheathamstead, and terminating by a Junc tion with the Great Northern Railway at Digswell. THE FATAL COLLISION ON THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY. INQUEST ON ONE OF THE BODIES. CROYDON, TUESDAY NIGHT. This evening, at 3 o'clock, a highly.respectable jury assembled before Mr. Carter, coroner for East Surrey, at the Railway Tavern, near the station, to inquire into the circumstances touching the death of John Gammon, one of the passengers who lost his life in the frightful collision which took place on the above line on Monday afternoon, a detail of which appeared in The Sun. The jury having been sworn, The coroner stated that until 2 o'clock that day he had not received any intimation of the case, except what he had read in the public papers. He was desirous of hav ing the body identified, and to adjourn the question to a future day. The jury having viewed the body, William Gammon, son of the deceased, was sworn— Said he was a labourer, residing at Ea9t Peckham. De ceased was his father. He was a gardener, and was 63 years of age, and had resided at East Peckham. He saw his father alive between 7 and 8 o'clock on Monday morning at his own house, preparing for the train to go to the Palace at Sydenham. The train was proceeding from Paldock-wood station. Deceased was at the time in good health. _ _ The inquiry was then adjourned until Wednesday (Aug. 30), at 10 o'clock, at th►e Town•hall. INQUIRY BEFORE THE MAGISTRATES. Yesterday morning 4 prisoners, taken into custody by the police, were placed at the bar before the bench of magistrates at the Town hall, Croydon, the magistrates present being Mr. Byron, Mr. Kemnnis, and Mr. Suther• land. Inspector Julien took the men into custody upon his own zesponsibiity, and has received the strong approba tion of tha magistrates for the course he has adopted. The prisoners are Robert Simpson, engine driver of the excursion train, and James Sladden, fireman of the same, both in the service of the South Eastern Railway Company, with Edward. Boynett, the driver of the bal last engine, and Edward Knivett, the fireman of the same, in the service of the Pondon and Brighton and South Coast Railway, and they were charged with caus ing the death of James Gammon, a gardener, re,iding at East Peckham. Mr. Burgon attended on behalf of Simpson and Sladden, and Mr. Church on behalf of the South Eastern Railoray Company. The Brighton Com pany was represented by a solicitor. Mr. William Brown, the superintendent of the Brick layers' Arms station, said he was in the Dover excursion train when it came up, and was looking forward when the train approached the Croydon station. They 'rimed the auxiliary signal about 600 yards below the station ; that signal being down indicated that all was right at the station, and the train therefore went on, although at a reduced rate of speed. The auxili.iry signal was the protecting signal of the station. When the train arrived at the second bridge from the Croydon station, he saw that the danger signal was up, and at the same moment he saw the station man run out and hold up his red light, showing the driver that he must reduce his speed. The driver did the beat he could, but it was impossible for him to stop. In answer to a question from the bench, Mr. Brown stated that when the train was at Steat's Nest it was telegraphed to Croydon, and the driver would have every reason to believe that the line was clear when he saw that it was all right with the auxiliary signal. "A magistrate stated that he had before him a docu ment which showed that the train was telegraphed at Stoat's Nest, and that it was not answered at Croydon, showing, he presumed, that no one was in charge of the telegraph there. Mr. Brown said this accident would not have hap pened if the telegraph had been properly conducted. Sergeant John Julien, 28 P, stationed at Croydon, deposed to arresting Boynett and Knivett. The latter prisoners admitted to the court that they were on the ballast-engine. Boynett said that he stuck to it, but that Knivett jumped off. It being here suggested that an adjournment was ne cessary, in order to complete the evidence, Mr. Burgon addressed the bench, and submitted that nothing had been provefl against his clients, and there fore hoped that they would be liberated on bail. The chairman remarked that they had the interests of the public in charge, and to see that they were not ex posed to any nehlect while travelling upon the railway. At present the case was in the hands of the police, a serious charge had been preferred against, the company's servants, and therefore it was the duty of the bench to investigate it. They, however, would adjourn the further hearing of the case until five o'clock that after noon. _ ---- proposed Skinner, and Thomas pe was n n p g ro o f the d ca t s o e e a x t a that , e h t o h u e r, s n i g f t o e a r i some dis O nu n ee t i h o e o, re i - t o at the Croydon Station, s p i g a n v a i s l s ; o b n u t the th examining them. eubpe_ line n c h e a a s n c d e r in t a i g i n h i t n g n e t h i m a t p l they ioat e w d , o r d k e e o ( l l i n t e h d e mon l e i r r e .

Mr. Everett, solicitor, who had been retained for Boynett and Knivett, contended that as no satisfactory evidence had been offered the men ought to be dis charged. The chairman said that, considering the serious loss of life and the injury sustained by other parties, coupled with other circumstances, they should not bedoing their duty if they did not institute the most searching inquiry. They therefore could not allow the liberation of the pri , sonars. The prisoners were then remanded till Friday next. ...............______ A DOUGLAS DIGS.—In the year 1667 when the Dut c h destroyed our s hi ps in the Medway, filling the breasts of the inhabitants of London with alarm and dismay, one gallant he ar t, t rue to his heroic name, perished for, his country's cause.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT. —LiveßPoot, ...A.TeatST 21. (Nisi Prius Court.) CON.—F.VANS V. ROBINSON. Mr. Ormwold Lloyd Evans was the plaintiff, and Mr. Robert Ansley Robinson the defendant ; and the plaintiff complained that the defendant bad had criminal conver sation with his wife. The defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Knowles, Mr. Serjeent Wilkins, and Mr. Asp land for the plaintiff ; Mr. Watson, Q.C., and Mr. Ather ton. Q.C., for the defendant. Mr. Knowles, in laying the case before the jury, said —The plaintiff in this case was Mr. Ormwold Lloyd Evans, a gentleman of good fortune and good family in the county of Gloucester. On the death of his father, who was a magistrate of the county, he inherited the property which he now enjoys, his place of residence for some years having been at Cheltenham, situated in that county. In November, 1850, the plaintiff was united in marriage with a young lady named Carrington, the daughter of a gentleman who has filled the office of Judge of the Island of Ceylon, but who, since his retire ment, has lived with his family at Cheltenham. The plaintiff was at that tame about 32 years of age, and his wife was some five or six years younger. They had known each other some time. Miss Carrington was a young lady of considerable accomplishments, and any one looking at their condition at the time they were married would have predicted a long course of happiness; and certainly no one would have been prepared for the disappointment which was destined speedily to follow. They went abroad, to Paris, for a short time, for nine or ten days only ; and on their return they lived for a short time at Leicester, Mr. Evans being fond of hunting, and the county of Leicester affording great conyemence for persons taking an interest in that sport. A differ ence gradually arose between them, based on these grounds. Before the marriage it had be, ,n arranged that they should live in the house occupied by the plaintiff's mother. After the marriage, Mrs. Evans seemed averse to this arrangement, to which she ob jected, and the matter caused considerable disagreement between them, so much so, that when in March they left Leicester to go back to Cheltenham, the lady, in the first instance, went upon a visit to her father, while the plaintiff went to his own house. An attempt was made at reconciliation, which unfortunately did not succeed for in April of that year, and within a few months after their marriage, this young couple agreed that in future they would live separated, he makiug an allo sance am ple and sufficient for her wants—the allowance amount ing to 2501. a year during his mother's life, and 3501. after her death ; and, if she survived her husband, she was to have a jointure of 5001., on the terms of the mar riage settlement. At the time of the separation she was pregnant, although it was unknown to either herself or her husband ; for eight monthis after the separation she was delivered of a still-born child. The defendant was a resident of Cheltenham, and was a man of good for tune. He was a married man, and had that security , which is generally supposed to belong to a man of ma ture time of life, for he was turned 50. He was, or professed to be, the old and well-tried friend of the family to which this lady belonged. He had known her family for some time, and had unrestricted entrance to it. For some time after the separation there appears to have been no cause of complaint, for when it came to the ears of the plaintiff that the defendant was walking out with his wife in a style of familiarity which would have been suspicious in a single man, he attributed it to that old acquaintanceship which exist d between the families, and it gave his mind no disquiet on the subject. But when it came to his ears, as it did in June last year, that his wife had gone to London, attended oily by her maid, where they had resided in lodgings by them selves for the space of a fortnight, having no other member of her own family with her, he did feel called upon to address a word of remonstrance to her father, which, however, was unattended to by him. In the course of the present year that visit to London was re peated. The lady again went to London in the month of July, taking lodgings Bryanstoime-street, Portman square. The plaintiff, having heard of the acuteness of Field, the detective officer, whose skill had been pro perly illustrated in a trial that had recently terminated, engaged him to take such measures as his own expe rience would suggest for the purpose of coming to the truth of the matter, and of unveiling the objects of the defendant, if lie had any. Field went to work. He saw Mrs. King, the ownerof the house at which the plaintiff's wife was lodging. She refused herself to be engaged in the investigation ; and he then applied to a person named Grocott, a woman who will be a witness to-day. Mrs. King wanted a cook, and Mrs. Grocutt was intro duced into the house in that capacity, and she had some opportunity of observing the motions of these parties. The rooms occupied by the plaintiff's wife were on the first floor, and consisted of a drawing room amid a bed room behind. There was also a bed-room above, in the second floor, and an attic for the maid. The object of Grocott and Field was to be able, by some contrivance, to have a view of the drawing-room without betraying themselves to the defendant and Mrs. Evans. By Grocott's account it would be seen that for two or three days the defendant came regularly ; but Mrs. Grocott not being in the room, could do no more than record that the defendant came. At last Field gave her a gimlet, and desired her to bore a hole in the panel of the folding-door between the bed-room and the sit tieg-room. She did so. The defendant came as usual. Mr. Melline, according to his general custom, went out of the house ; and Mrs. Grocott set herself to watch. The learned counsel then gave a Flummery of Grocott's evidence, as afterwards detailed, and having glanced at the probable line of defence which srmuld be set up, namely, that the whole story was a fabrication, the learned gentleman said he would give way to Mr. Seii-ant Wilkins, who would proceed to call evidence. Before he did so, however, he (Mr Knowles) corrected a statement he had made in opening the case. He found, by a reperusal of the deed of settlement, that by one of the stipulations the plaintiff's wife could live where she pleased, and that she was not, therefore, obliged to remain under her father's roof. Mr. William Edwards Lawrence called and examined by Serjtant Wilkins—Reside at the Greenway, Chet tardier'', and am a magistrate of Gloucester. Witnessed the marriage of the defendant on the 14th of November, 1850, with Miss Carrington. The defendant is a magic , trate and deputy-lieutenant of the county of Gloucester. He is a married man, and has been living separate from his wife nearly a year and a half. Have been for several years acquainted with the family of the plaintiff's wife. Had occasionally seen the defendant in company •with the plaintiff's wife. Her husband settled upon her a marriage settlement of 5001. a year. By Mr. Watson, Q.C.—The defendant has lived many years at Cheltenham, and has a son grown up. Mr. Carrington, the father of the young lady, has a son grown up and a younger son, arid another daughter. Don't know that there is a third daughter. Have known the defendant sixteen years, during which time he has been the intimate friend and constant visitor with the family of Mr. Carrington. He visited there when Mrs. Lloyd Evans was a child. May have seen the defendant walking with the father of the plaintiff's wife before and after their marriage ; and also with the mother and her daughter. Don't know that the defendant introduced the plaintiff to the family. Never was in the society of the plaintiff after the marriage. Went to Lon don to attend the marriage. Have heard that Mr. Carrington gave him 1,0001. on the marriage. Did not know that he had spent it all. Didn't know that plain tiff's property was mortgaged to its full value. Had heard that the plaintiff took his wife with his hunters to lodgings in Leicester, on his return from the marriage tour. Did not hear that he dismissed her lady's maid. Was informed that, after the plaintiff came hack from Cheltenham, she was averse to living with his mother. Never knew that the plaintiff had said he would not allow his wite to live with him again, because she would not submit to his terms to live with his mother. Never knew that she returned to his house and begged and prayed to live with him, but he would not allaw her. Plaintiff's father lived at Tewkesbury, and believed he was a chemist and druggist. He was a spurting gentle man, and went to the bust at Leicester. His mother lived at Cheltenham. Knew his father a little. Don't know that his mother had been a barmaid at au intr. By Mr. Knowles—Forget whether Mr. Evans, sen., was a magistrate. At the time the plaintiff told me about taking his wife to Leicester, lie told me it was part of the arrangement before the marriage ; as also was the agreement to live with his mother, who is 81 years of age, not fit to live by herself, being partially blind. Knows the house where hilamother lives. It is a gentleman's house, arid fit to take any lady to. Time marriage settlement, giving a jointure of 5001. a year to the wife, was put in. The deed of separation, dated 10th May, 1851, was put in. It settled 2501. upon her until toe plaintiff's mother's death, and 3501. a year afterwards, and there was a stipulation that she might live where she pleased. Mr. Edward Mitchell, of Cheltenham, living next door to Mr. Carrington, knew the plaintiff and his wife be- . fore their separation. Remembered after the marriage when Mr. Evans was living at her father's house. Observed nothing more between the defendant and Mrs. Evans than the great intimacy which could exist among friends. I saw nothing to induce suspicion of immora lity, but there was certainly suspicion of impropriety. Never,made any remonstrance with Mr. Carriugtun's family. By Mr. Watson —Knew Mr. Carrington, and still visited with his family. Knew the defendant mince being acquainted with Mr. Ca.rrington's family, and had been a constant visitor there. Remembered -Mrs. Evaus's confinement in December, 1851. She was in a low state after then. Mrs. Selma Taylor, widow, living at Leicester since 1851, said she let apartments. In 1850 the plaintiff, Mr. Evans, and Mrs. Evans, came to her hou-e and lodged with her until March, 1851. During that time his conduct to her was kind. He had a carriage occa sionally. By Mr. Watson—l think he paid me three guineas and a half. They had three sleeping-rooms and a sit ting room. He had from five to seven horses, and hunted five days out of the seven. Went out from nine to ten in the morning, and frequently home by five in the evening. Used to go into the room in the morning to take the order for dinner. lie would ask her what she would have, and she would sometimes answer in a manner which she would not expect from a now-married lady. She sometimes said " I don't care." There were many ways in which a new-married person would answer. Sometimes he would bring the carriage for her, and she would not go out. At other times she would get rather hasty, and he would try to quiet her down. Once this occurred in consequence of a quarrel with me and time maid. Witness told plaintiff, and he said she should not be annoyed, and at her instigation the maid was turned away. That was in February. Mrs. Evans told Mr. Evans that she would not have another maid. They quarrelled about it, and Mrs. Evans said she would not believe me ; and Mr. Evans tried to quiet them. Wit ness Did Dace s unneverasay she th idt a h t at mr tEhyoaungohtwtsha n ot were not married, so touch a lady • as he WAS a gentleman, or she would not let her maid annoy her so much. Since witness had been in Liver pool (since Friday), she had lodged at the Railway Hotel. There were eight others, including Mr. Melton, attorney, Mr. Field, the detective, Mrs. Grocott, " the cook," Mrs. King, Mrs. Price, and Mr. Morgan. They all dined together, with Mr. Melton at the head of the table. By Mr. Knowles—There were three ladies at the hotel. The maid was discharged because she had very much misconducted heraelf—at least, she had much an noyed witness. Sarah Phillips, living at No. 15, Edgware-road, Lon don, said—ln the month of June, last year, Mrs. Lloyd Evans lodged at my house. The lodgings were taken by Mr. Robinson. She occupied two drawing-rooms and two bed-rooms. She had her maid with her. While she lived there, her only visitor was Mr. Robin son, who came two or three times a day. He came in the morning for about ten minutes ; in the afternoon, to stay a little ; and in the evening, to take her out. They used to go to the opera, or some other place of amuse ment at night ; and we did not use to wait their return. Ile asked me for a latch-key the first evening, and he could let himself in as he pleased. Mrs. Evans stayed a fortnight and a day, and the defendant called every . day. When the defendant calle i on the last day, they were at my house. I received an anonymous note. The lady's maid was named Clara. By Mr. Watson—My husband is a tailor. He never worked for the defendant's family. His mother once bought a pair of garters. I Still live in the name house. Do not remember that at the time Mrs. Evans lodged at my house, she had an eruption of the lace. I should have heard if any lady had called at the house during the time. I will not swear that there was not—l am not in the habit of swearing. (Laughter.) I was ap plied to in this case in . July. Sarah Grocott, examined by Serjeant Wednesday, the 28th of June, went to the house of Mrs. Kiug, N.). 2, Bryaestone-square. I was sent there by Mr. Field, to find out, if possible, what was going on with Mrs. Evans. Went into the house on the 29th of June. On that day Mr. Robinson called at one o'clock. I went to the "Cristial" Palace. (Laughter ) He went to the drawing -room. Mr. Robinson, Mr. Evans, and Mr. Mellins went to the "Cristial " Palace. On their return Mr. Mellins dined there, and stayed till Mr. Robinson went away at eleven o'clock. Mr. Robin son came again the following day, about the same time. Mr. Watson—l object to my learned friend putting leading questions. • This woman is a spy. Mr. Serjeant Wilkins—That is an improper observa tion. Mr. Watson (to the Court)—l ask you, my lord, whe ther it is irregular to call a witness •' a spy." The Court—No ; and I think it is rather irregular for you to put leading questions. Mr. Mellins left before Mr. Robinson. On the Satur day afternoon, the Ist of July, I went to the drawing room to listen, when Mr. Robinson and Mrs. Evans were in the room. I heard nothing satisfactory. (Laughter.) I went no more until Monday, when I made a hole in the drawing-room door with a gimlet. Mr. Robinson had gone. He came on Tuesday, between one and two o'clock. I looked through that hole, when Mr. Robinson and Mrs. Evans were there alone. Mr. Robinson was sitting on the sofa with Mr , ,. Evans by his side. He had his leg over her lap. Mrs. Price, a friend of Mrs. King's, was in the back drawing-room taking an inventory, and I called her, and told her to look. She looked, and made a noise, by accidentally moving a chair, and Mrs. Evans immediately came out. [To his Lordship]—The back room opens in the draw ing -room. _ _ _ To Mr. Serjeant Wilkins—Mrs. Evans said, "What are you doing there ?" and Mrs. Price said, " I am taking an inventory of the things." I went down, but returned soon, and looked again. I saw—(The witness here gave a detailed account of her observa tions through the gimlet hole, which, if true, would exclude all doubt as to the criminality of the parties.) I again called Mrs. Price, who was making the in ventory, and I called her to look. She did look. I Ind not call any one else. Mrs. King cause into the room where I and Mrs. Price were. She looked through the hole in the door. After that I went away. During the time I was there Mr. Robinson came every day. Generally Mr. Mullins was there until lunch, when he went away, and Mr. Robinson and Mrs. Evans were left together. On the Wednesday I saw Mr. Robinson and Mrs. Evans on the sofa. (Here the witness de scribed a scene which was the repetition of that of the previous day.) The next witness called was Mrs. King, who stated that she lived in N. 2. Bevanston-street, Portman square. She recollects Mr. Robinson taking lodgings in leer house for Mrs. Evans. Was called upon by Mr. Field, the detective, who told her that there was something wrong going on in her house, and that he was sure she would assist him to find it out. Field told her what Sarah Grocott came to her house for. Was called up one day by Sarah Grocott to look through the hole in the doer, between the front and back drawing-room. This witness also deposed to what had been described by the others. Mr. Watson, for the defence, stated that he should ' not appeal to the jury in reduction of damages, but ask them for a ♦erdict for defendant. He should ask them whether they could safely rely upon the testimony upon which the plaintiff rested. According to t.e evidence, they would find that it was in the year 1850 that the unhappy lady had the misfortune to connect herself by marriage with the plaintiff. Upon the marriage taking place, they were told that they went to Parts. He should ask the gentlemen of the jury whether, while there, he took his wife to any place of reTectability ? When at Cheltenham, did he introduce her to his family or to any respectable friend ? Not one living man did he introduce her to, nor in aught did he conduct him self towards her as a husband. He took her to Leicester, and what were his pursuits ? Hunting five days a week, scarce a moment with his wife, leaving her to pine in lodgings, without introducing her to that society to which she had a right to look. Why, the husband himself, if anything did take place like that imputed to the lady, was the sole cause of it. In 1850, they were married, in March, 1851, they were separated. What was that owing to ? To his unkind ness ; for where was the person who had everseen him act kindly towards her? To use the words of Lord Den man, "He had sent his wife abroad with a letter of licence insuring her ruin, unless she had a strong mind, and power to resist the temptation to which she would be naturally sui•ject." The plaintiff's object was ob vious. He had been separated from his wife, and upon that separ►tion he made a settlement upon her of 254/. a year. His object now was to relieve himself from that charge. If he obtained a verdict in the present case, he coud set the settlement aside by a divorce snit iii the House of Lords. Mr. Watson then proceeded to review the evidence in ext ease, but off red no defence. His lordship then summed up, and in doing so ob served that in his opinion the settlement would stand goed, whatever might be the conduct of the wife. The jury retired, and at seven o'clock returned into court with a verdict for the defendant. CROWN COURT. CHARGE OF MURDER ON THE HIGH SEAS. • William Henderson. llorner, 33, was indicted for having feloniously murdered Manuel Gommles on the high seas. Mr. Blair and Mr. Conway were for the prosecution ; and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Aspinall were for the defence. The prisoner was the captain of a ship called the Monga,:teen, and with the chief mate, Thomas Henry Chadderton, was indicted for three murders of Manilla men . Two of the bills against tha mate were ignored, and on Saturday they were tried for the murder of Angelo Paraiso. Of this charge they were acquitted, and the captain to-day was put upon his trial for the murder of Manuel Gonsales. The evidence was of precisely the same character as that adduced on Saturday. A number of Manilla men were shipped a t Singapore in th e M ongasteen, and on the voyage th e y wereo dirty, sl oven l y, !azy, &c., that the captain had punishment inflict e d on t h em w i t h a rope ' s eno , and sometimes with a ca t . H e also occas i ona ll y s t o pp e d p a rt of their food. It was a ll ege d t h at f rom t hi s tr e atment three of the men•died at sea. Dr. Cooper said it was extremely doubtful what the cause of death arose from, whereupon his lordship said there was an end of the case, and the prisoner was ac quitted. CHARGE OF FELONIOUSLY SHOOTING.—JosepI6 captain of the American ship Harks' Way, was indicted fin- feloei ,usly shoot:no-, on the 10th of July, Lorenzo Cosseu, with intent, &c. Mr Simons and Mr. Ashton prosecuted ; and Mr. Serjeant\Vilkiu s and Mr. Aspinall defended. James Campbell said—On the 10th of July I saw the ship Ilarkeway hauling out of ti,e Conning Duck. The men were engage d at t h e ca p s t a n. The steward was on deck d run k , and he was en d eavour i ng t o ge t as h ore. The men were ende a vouring to prevent him. The stew ard w as en d eavouring to get i n t o th e cabin, but h e did not succe e d, f ar t h e p , i3O er pushed him out. He was several ti mes put out. He was pushed out by the mate, and then he fell down. Some of the crew then went t o ra i se him up, and as they were so en gaged th e b ars of the caps t an , in g o ing round, kno c k e d them all down. The mate then came over w.th a belaying pin, and struck several of the crew. The men at the cap.tan then left the c.rpstan The mate ran along the deck, and the men followed him, and knocked him down; some of them jumped upon him, and the prisoner came from the cabin witi a pistol in his right hand. He went round the house on deck, and fired two shots in the direction of the spot where the men were beating the mate. I then saw him speak to a gentleman on deck, and he gave the prisoner another pistol—a re volver. I said, " Hold on, captain ; don't pull another trigger." He then fired another shot. The men were still beating the mate. When I went on board I met the captain (the prisoner), and asked him for the pistol, which he gave me, on informing him of my number. In consequence of the disturbed state of the vessel I gave the pistol to the second mate, who looked it in the cabin. On obtaining assiNtance I went to the cabin for the pistol. I subsequently saw a man named Lorenzo Cosseu bleeding at the head. I did not see that man strike the mate. Cross-examined—There have been several frightful confusions Ma board American ships in the river. There were six or seven men round the mate. One of them had his knees upon the mate's breast. Other evidence corroborative of the above facts wa s given, and it was shown that the prisoner desired the men to leave off or he would shoot them. Inasmuch as they refused he fired on them to protect the mate's life. His lordship then directed the jury to find a verdict of not guilty, which they at once did. CHARGE OF MURDER. Mary Kay, was indicted for the wilful murder of her daughter, Ellen Kay. Mr. Ovens and Mr. Higgins prosecuted ; and Mr. Monk defended the primoner. After a lengthened trial the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. SP()RTING INTI:LI,I(;EIycz BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—TUESDAY. There has been some important changes in the betting since our last.

TOWER REGATTA. The Tower annual regatta came off yesterday. The assemblage of spectators of varied grades was numerous. and the shipping and the shores in the neighbourhood exhibited one mass of living beings.

You may indeed measure, or hew out, or daub off a salad. You may know that lettuce requires very little oil, and endive very much ; that rape needs beetroot and celery ; that that cold cauliflower is the basis of a delicious salad used very much in Italy, but almost unknqwn in England ; you may know that four table-spoonsful of oil should go generally to one of vinegar ; that the salt is a matter to be nervou s with ; that, above all things, it is necessary to dissolve thoroughly the salt in the vinegar before you add the oil. All this you may know; and you may know how to collect at the right season the right herbs ; yet, nevertheless, ycu must be born a salad maker, with the full measure of native tact, if you would shine in the profession. It has even been doubted, in the face of the great Gandet, whether one man can combine in himself all the qualities which go to make a perfect salad-maker —because, to complete a salad properly, is sari, in fact, to require the united efforts of four different men : spendthrift for the oil, a miser for the vin egar, a sage f or the salt, and sk maniac for the mining, ----The Roving Eng litslonan.

GraA Francis, Eq., F.S.A., in the presence of the officials of tie compAiy, the contractor, workmen, and some of the warmest friends ()film undertaking. About twelve o'clock, the stone, a noble specinitn from the Craighleith quarries, Ed•nburgh, weighing seven tons, was placed in the slings of the goliah, and having been carefully adjusted, was finally set in its appointed place. Within a recess his worship placed the various currrent coins of the realm, which had been expressly obtained from the Bank of England ; and plans and detailed statements of the works, of its promoter , , officers, &C., were likewise enclosed. The c ontractor, Mr. J. Picker ing, and re s id en t eng i neer, M r . Neill, having finally proved the levels to be correct, the worthy Mayor took the mallet, and giving the stone the customary three knocks, declared the foundation stone duly laid ; and having in a brief speech conatulated the persons pre sent on the success with which the works had so far progressed, and wished them a successful termination, the party reared, amidst the cheer, o. the workmen. to dejtuner at the Cast i le Hotel.
