- _ LAW INTELLIGENCE. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, Sept. 1. (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR OF ENGLAND.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England sat to-day at balf.past three, for the purpose of hearing any applications that might be considered of a pressing nature. ROBERT t 7. BARRS.—INJUNCTION. Mr. TEID, with whom was Mr. Tooke, applied, upon no tice, for a special injunction to restrain the defendant from invading a patent, obtained by the plaintiff, for the manu facture of top-tips for umbrellas. It appeared, from the statemenas Of the Learned Counsel, that both plaintiff and defendant were umbrella manufacturers in ; that the plaintiff obtained a patent, in 1837, for the manufacture of a peculiar description of top-tips for umbrellas, and that in 1841, upon discovering that the defen dant was making asimilar article, he brought an action against Aim in consequence of his infringement of his rights. To that action the defendant pleaded that the invention was not new, and that it was useless. Upon the action being tried the jury found that the invention was novel and useful, but that the plaintiff was not the first inventor. The plaintiff then disclaimed to certain parts of his specification, and thus matters stood till a short time since, when the plaintiff discovered that the defendant was manufacturing articles similar to those manufactured by him under his amended patent, and upon that discovery he filed his bill and gave notice of the present appli cation. Mr. SWANiTON opposed the application, on the ground that Vle plaintiff knew well of the proceedings of the defendant, r and that the defendant had a right to do what he had done, inas much as the patent was invalid. His Horror's. declined making any order until more explicit affidavits were filed with respect to the time when the plaintiff first discovered that the defendant was making the articles, for the manufacture of which the plaintiff claimed the exclusive right. The motion consequently stands over till the termina tion of the long vacation. SILVERI)/ V. ROBINSON. . Mr. SwaxsToX moved in this case for an order nisi for a Sergeant, at Arms. It appeared that the minutes of an injunc tion had been served upon the defendant, which restrained him from removing the green crops off the farm of which he was tenant, and that, notwithstanding that injunction, he had done so. The Couax made the order. His Hoxoua will not sit again till the Brat day of Michael mas Term. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE. THE LATE FRACAS AT THE EAST IWDIA Houss.-- At one o'clock Sir Henry Willock, Chairman of the East India Company, appeared before the Lord Mayor to answer a complaint preferred against him, at the instance of Mr. Peter Gordon, for an assault committed in causing his expulsion from the chairman's chair at a meeting of the proprietors of the East India Stock, held on Saturday, the 2,.3d August last. The ca4e which had been partially heard on a previous day, an ac count of which appeared in the Sun, has caused considerable excitement in the City, and particularly amongst the proprie tors, directors, and others connected with the East India House. The Court was literally crowded with the friends of both parties. On the bench were Sir Lionel Goldsmid, Sir Henry Willock, Mr. Hogg, M.P., the Deputy-chairntan, and several of the directors of the East India House. Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, appeared on the part of Sir Henry Willock, and Mr. Parry on the part of the com plainant. The LORD MAYOR, having taken his seat, inquired of Mr. Gordan if he was ready to proceed with the case? Mr. Gordon—l am, my Lord. Mr. Clarkson—l understand my friend Mr. Parry is in structed to appear for the complainant, and I have no wish to take any advantage of his absence, an/ would suggest waiting a reasonable time, if Mr. Gordon has no reason to believe he Rill not attend. Mr. Gordon—l expected to have seen him here. Mr. Parry having entered the Court, considerable delay took place in obtaining the attendance of a second magistrate to enable an adjudication. Alderman .Moon having entered the Court, Mr. Parry proceeded briefly to state the facts out of which the assault arose. Mr. Gordon, being a proprietor of stock of 1,000/., the value of which is 3,800/., attended a special meet ing of the proprietor., convened, according to a requisition signed by Sir Charles Forbes, General Briggs, and others, to consider the claims of the Raj iof Sat tara, held on thy 23d of August, by adjourninent from the previous day. The meeting was appointed fur ten o'clock, but at half-pa-t nine Mr. Gordon attended, and placed himself in the chairman's chair. At ten o'clock Sir Henry Willock, the chairman, entered the Court, with Mr. Hogg anA a body of the Directors, and proceeded to where Mr. Gordon was sitting. Sir H. Willock then somewhat sharply desired him to vacate the chair. Mr. Gordon rose and said if it was the desire of the Proprietors that he should do so he would at once comply, and inured on one side of the chair. 11r. George Thompson, a Proprietor, then proposed Sir H. Widock should take the chair, which was seconded by Mr. Gordon, upon which Mr. Ilogg protested against that motion being put, as Sir H. Wil lock was entitled to the chair as a m utter of right, as Chair man of the East India Company. Sir Henry Willock also refused to be voted in the chair, and elaimed it as a right, noon which Mr. Gordon re-took the chair. Sir Henry Willock again requested him to vacate the chair, or he should 'be compiled to use force to compel him. Mr. Hogg also ad vising his being removed, ultimately a constable of the name of 'Wilson was called, who took Mr. Gordon by the arm and re moved him from the chair towards the door. Mr. Gordon re nested to be taken to prison or before a magistrate, but the constable said he had nothing further to do with it, and Mr. Gordon ultimately remained in the room ; this was the assault complained of. Mr. Gordon having been called, and deposed to those facts, Mr. Clarkson, at considerable length, cross-examined him, to show that it had been a previously arranged movement, with a view to test his right as a Proprietor ; and in the course of whieh Mr. Gordon admitted he had written and got printed a number of hand-bills, which he had distributed without any printer's name to them, reflecting upon the Directors, and which Mr. Clarkson designated as a libel. Mr. George Thompson was also called to prove the same facts, and, on cross-examination by Mr. Clarkson, stated Mr. Gordon had told him he intended to pursue the course he had, and he (Mr. Thompson) advised him not, to prevent confusion, as he was deeply interested in the matter that would be brought under discussion. Mr. Clarkson said he seriously asked the Lord Mayor if he called upon him, on behalf of Sir Henry Willock, to answer so trumpery a charge? It was clear that Mr. Gordon had him self no vote, and that he was an intruder in taking the chair, not having been requested or elected to the chair. The Learned Counsel was proceeding to make some very strong re marks upon the conduct and motives of Mr. Gordon, when he was stopped by the Lord Mayor. The Loan MAYOR—I perfectly agree with my brother Magistrate, that Mr. Gordon was himself an intruder, and that the case must be dismissed. —Dismissed accordingly. Mr. Clarkson applied for a certificate of the dismissal. Mr. Parry said the matter would not end there, as there were other Proprietors who were determined to try the ques tion as to the right of the chairmaa to take the chair without the consent of the proprietors. GUILDHALL. Michael Cor, a tailor, about fifty years of age, was brought before Mr. Alderman Johnson, charged with running away and deserting his wife and Eve children, whereby they had be come chargeable to the parish of St. Sepulchre. Mr. Miller, the relieving officer of the district, stated the nature of the charge, and that the wife had caused the prisoner to be taken into custody. The case had very much surprised him, as the parties had resided some time in the parish, ap parently in comfort and respectability, and keeping a well furnished house. The wife said her husband had left her to live with a mar ried woman, who was separated from her husband, and who was notorious for coaxing away married men. Her husband lived at Dundee, bat his wife got so bad a name there that they were glad to give her some money and send her to Lor.- don. The complainant had great difficulty in tracing ont v here this woman was living. Her husband had left his home about six week 4, and she met him on Sunday night going with the brandy bottle to procure some liquor for the woman. She caught him round the waist, and begged him to come home to his little children; and his reply was, that he would never live with her another day. She then gave bira in charge. He had deserted her once before. Mr. Alderman Jouxsox asked what trade the prisoner fol lowed? The wife said he was a tailor, and earned between 21. and 31. per week. The prisoner said nearly all his wife said was false. Mr. Alderman JOHNSON wished the prisoner to go by steps. Vas it false that he had left his home for six weeks? The prisoner replied he must state all the circumstances. During the current eight or ten weeks a tailor in London could not earn 10s. a week. He had saved up 4/. to go to Dublin on a 4 sit, but he was spending the money in London. He did not v• - 2a to desert his home. As to the woman spoken of, she uses. old acquaintance. She was older than himself, and was an 'QS a married woman, and what his wife said, therefore, was besiu •.e true. could pot b. -tan JOHNSON did not see th a t w h a t th e w if e h a d M n, Mt.

According t o hi s own ac alleged must nes kno 'e kin g about London, s p en ding all the money co unt he was a nd l e yring his five children and wife to starve. upon himself , said had a lad to assist him, and the wife xaigbt have derive d a week from his labour. He cut out a lot of work for hint he went away. m Mr. Miller said the C vl e f had been reduced to ask for paro- chi al aid. The wife believed her husbNid never intended to return, b e cause he took away three suits ef his clothes. 111 r. Alderman Jonnson said he -.vas not satisfied with the explanation the prisoner had offered, and he committed him 0 hard labour for one month. MARYLEBONE. A respectably attired man, named Taylor, entered the wit ness box and addressing the sitting magistrate, Mr. Rawlin eon, said I have an application of a somewhat curious description to make to your Worship. RAwLiNsON7—Let me know what it is you want. Applicant—l wish to ask you, Sir, in the presence of In spector Brown, why the police are set day after day to keep a watch upon my premises ? Mr. RAWLINSON (to the Inspector)—You hear what this : _xaan says, and I suppose can give him an answer. l ab •pector—A man has been sent by the superintendent to Watch, end I'd rather not explain why he has done so. Mr. 1 1..5.wmusort—This person asks the question in open Court, an ,i surely you may satisfy him at once. Inspector---The superintendent has caused to be done what is complained of, your Wor'ship, and I can explain his reason if you- like to h,'er me. The Inspector w•. 29 here about to address the Magistrate in au under tone, Olen, Mr. RAWLINSON iftiid to applicant—The inspector refuses to give an answer to your application. Applicant—l think it is very hard, Sir, that I should be watched in this way, and I sLailiz-el it my ditty to seek redress elsewhere. fle then quitted the Court. LAMBETH. .Robert Webster, a very powerful man, whose head was co vered in two or three places with adhesive pl as t ers , mid de moted by various large bumps that he had been subjected to very serious violence, was charged before Mr. lit nry with attacking and violently assaulting the constables tk9 and 73 L. From the evidence, which was taken at considerable length, it appeared that between eleven and twelve o'clock on Saturday night a disturbance took place in the tap room of the George 11 ,06'o -bowie, in Lambeth-walk, and the police were called in ba ,‘Jr. Anderson, the landlord, to quiet it and turn the parties and wed in it out of doors. Ain-,ngst the rioters was the wife of V7ebater the prisoner, and up of her being put out of the bouse, the polico, acco rding to tht..ir cwn version, were attackt.d by her h • leban,l who knocked them about, and in self-defence they were compelled t. draw and use their truncheons. 89 admitted h a ving struck and wounded the prisoner on the front of hiltbead„sud 7 3 also di d not deny having given Webster sever blows % -ith his staff, but not on the head. On the part of the pile..., Mr. Smith, a tradesman in the aseigistkourbood, was called, who deposed that the constables did not drew their staves until it was abFolutely neces.;ary for their'ilvin protection, as the mob assembled was very consider able,-and the feeling and excitement against them was very greaf: ( i ) the part of the prisoner, two respectable tradesmen re siding close to the George deposed, that they had in the first place_ seen the constable 89 thrust the wife of the prisoner out of the Public-house with such force that she must have fallen -upon her back on the pavement, and been severely injured, had , she e t come against her husband. The latter asked the police the reason for shoving his wife about in that way, upon which they instantly drew out theititruncheons, and 89 gave him a desperate blow on the front of the head, which instantly felled him to the ground. Not content with this, 89 grasped him by the colloar, while 73 deliberately struck the prisoner three desperate blows on the back part of the head. Mr. HENRY was of opinion the constables had used unne cessary violence towards the prisoner, and had inflicted some severe injuries upon him. He should, therefore, discharge him ; and as the case was one which required further investi gation, as respected the conduct of the police, he (Mr. Henry) would direct that a report of the proceedings be laid before the Police Commissioners, Ind a day would be appointed for a fur ther investigation into the matter. Joseph Hardcastle, mate of the schooner Lark, was charged with violently assaulting his captain, Mr. Lee ; also with brutally assaulting Mrs. Lee, and attempting to throw her overboard. Mr. Games, who attended on the part of the complainants, stated the nature of the charge against the prisoner. It appeared that on Saturday evening the Captain and Mrs. Lee went on shore, leaving the prisoner and their three sons on board, and on returning between eleven and twelve, they found that the prisoner had left the vessel during their absence, and was not then returned. In about an hour afterwards the prisoner came on board, and became very noisy. Mrs. Lee requested him to go to his berth, when he struck her a violent blow upon the temple, and inflicted a wound of nearly two inches in length. He also struck her several blows on the face, and was endeavouring to throw her over the bows of the vessel, when her husband came to her assistance. The prisoner then turned upon Captain Lee, and the first thing he did was to jump upon the instep of the Captain's right foot, and do it serious injury, added to which the Captain has been for some considerable time labouring under rheumatic gout. He also struck the Captain severely, and would have done him serious mischief had it not been for the timely arrival of a police-con stable. The prisoner, in defence, said his mistress had assaulted him in the first instance, by pushing him. The prisoner was then ordered to pay a penalty of 5?. for each assault, or in default two months' imprisonment. GREENWICH. _ Mary Ann Williams alias Adams, Agent, Ancient, Gil more, Evans, Brown, and Garwood, a well-dressed and intel ligent woman, aged about 25 years, described in the police sheet as the wife of a commercial traveller, residing at 126, Windmill-street, Gravesend, and Daniel Garrett, a young man in a sporting dress, who described himself as a cabinet maker by trade, but latterly a groom out of employ, and living at 6, Bond-street, Vauxhall, were charged with being con nected in uttering excellently executed counterfeit half-sove reigns. The prisoners had been remanded to make inquiries, and to have the attendance of the solicitor to the Mint, in order to identify them if old offenders. Mr. Powell attended for her Majesty's Mint, and identified the male prisoner as having been tried, convicted, and sen tenced to twelve months' imprisonment in Newgate fer a simi lar offence to the present charge; and the female as having been examined before the Lord Mayor for a like, offence ; but not being known in'the City before, and the evidence not being sufficiently conclusive, was discharged a few weeks since. From particular inquiries made by the police during the past week, there appears no doubt but they are connected with a gang of coiners. Amelia Elliott deposed that she keeps a stall in the Thames Tunnel for the sale of fancy goods. On the 22d ult. the female prisoner purchased a view of the Tunnel at Is. 6d., for which she tendered a sovereign in payment. Witness was asked for half a sovereign in part change. She not having one, went to the toll-keeper, who gave her half a sovereign, which he weighed, and ten shillings in silver. Witness laid the whole change on the counter to the prisoner, who counted it over, and gave her ls. 6d. hack. Witness then turned to serve some ladies on the other side, and on her looking back the prisoner said she feared the half sovereign was bad, and begged to ask somebody if it was not so. She took it imme diately to the toll-collector, who declared it bad, and said that it was not the one he gave her. .He then weighed it, and found it very light. He lent her a good one, which she gave to the prisoner, who went away followed by the male prisoner, who had previously spoken to her a stall or two off. She immediately gave information to an officer of the Tunnel police. Charles Lock, toll-collector, corroborated the last witness. The prisoners were fully committed to Newgate for trial, but were informed that good bail would ,be taken in each case fir 801. and themselves in 100/. each. HAifaIERS:WITH. Martha Smith was brought up in the custody of the police, before Air. T. Paynter, the sitting magistrate, ou the following charge of robbery : Mrs. Harriet Clarke, an aged lady, deposed that since the l9th of August last she had been residing at the house of Mrs. Morris. at Parson's-green, Fulham. The prisoner was Mrs. Morris's servant. Since witness had been there she had missed a variety of articles, and that morning, in consequence of witness having complained about it, Mrs. Morris called in a policeman, whom, with the prisoner, witness accompanied up to the prisoner's room, and then saw the policeman take from her box the petticoat, veil, .three pairs of gloves, three towels, ore habit shirt, and collar, three French cambric handker chiefs, a piece of fringe, several pieces of lace, a pocket knife, a purse, sundry pieces of ribbon, and other articles produced, which were part of the things she had misse Witness was sure they were all safe when she went to Mrs. Morris's a fort night since. The prisoner waited on witness, and had access to articles. When she was in the prisoner's room that morning she found her flannel dressing-gown there, which the prisoner had done her the honour to sleep in on the previous night. Policeman Fitzgerald, 89 V, corroborated Mrs. Clarke's statement, and produced the articles identified, and also some articles belonging to Mrs. Morris, which had been found in the prisoner's box. Mrs. Morris, who had received high recom mendations of the prisoner from some friends in the country, declined to prosecute her. The prisoner, who was in tears while at the bar, declined saying anything, and was fully committed for trial. WANDS WOR TB. Susannah Bennett and Sarah Bennett, mother and daughter, the latter enceinte, were charged with stealing four onions from a piece of land belonging to Mr. Robert Spencer, a farmer, in Battersea fields. Police-constable Lionel Hodder, of the V division, proved that the younger prisoner pulled up three onions, and the elder prisoner one. The defence set up by the mother was, that her daughter was in the family way, and as they were passing through the piece of onions on their way home on Saturday evening she suddenly craved Inc some onions, and could not resist the temptation of taking two or three. Mr. PAYNTER fined the prisoners 7s. each, and Ed. the value of the onions, or seven days' imprisonment in default. _ _ The elder prisoner paid the fines, and then requested the Magistrate to allow the policeman to give up one of the onions to her daughter. Mr. Donald Nicholl, of Pavilion Cottage, York-road, Bat tersea-fields, applied to the magistrate to know what proceedings could be taken to put down a fair which was to be held in a portion of Battersea-fields, near to some most respectable resi dences, and which commenced that day and etas to last until Wednesday night. Mr. PAI(NT ‘ iR, addressing Inspector Creed, said he supposed it was one of the numerous illegal fairs that are being held in all parts of the metropolis. Inspector Creed observed that the magistrate's surmises were correct. They (the police) had already been applied to, but they could do nothing more than preserve order. Mr. Nicholl said, the conduct of the people assembled on the spot on Sunday was most unseemly and offensive, and the fact was, that if Battersea-fields continued to be made the resort of thousands of bad characters, it would soon become a valueless property, for no one having pretensions to gentility could con tinue to reside there. Mr. PAYNTF.R observed he was sorry he could be of no assistance, and he hinted that the Legislature would soon find a remedy for the evil, for these illegal fairs entailed a great deal of trouble on the police magistrates. BROMLEY. Four young girls, named Eliza Lewis, Maria Lewis, Mary Ann Stringer, Sinfield, and Rebecca Sinfield, the mother of the last-earned defendants, attended before Viscount Sydney, and Messrs. Goodhart, Chapman, and Behrens, the presiding Magistrates at the Bromley Bench, to answer the charge of having unlawfully plucked, and appro priated to their own use, sixty-five apples, value 3d., the pro perty of Sir John Lubbock. The charge having been read by the clerk— Lord SYDNEY inquired what plea the defendants put in? Mary Anne Stringer said it was true, that being thirsty while going across the orchard, in their way home from work, she and three of her companions had pulled a few apples to eat, in order to quench their thirst, and they did not think they were doing any great harm. The Magistrates said, as the offence was not admitted, they had better hear the evidence. Goodchild, a gardener in the service of Sir John Lubbock upon his estate at Down, near Bromley, then deposed that on the day named in the summons, he saw the defendants in the orchard about the apple-trees, and thin king they were doing wrong by taking the apples, he went towards them, upon which they all ran away. He pursued and overtook them, and, found in their possession sixty-five apples, which he produced. The gardener here held up the apples, which were tied up in a handkerchief. The bulk was not much greater than the size of two clenched fists, and Lord SYDNEY asked the witness whether he meant to say that there were really 65 apples contained in the bundle ? The wanes) replied that there certainly were, and he was ready to count them ; but, he added, " they were very little ones." The BENCH told the witness that he must state what he saw each of the defendants do with regard to taking the apples, and he then admitted that he did not see the mother (Sinfield) with any apples in her possession, and a ith regard to her daughter, all he knew about her was, that she was eating an apple when he came up to her. The Bench ultimately dismissed the charge against the mother, and convicted the other defen , iants in the penalty of 55., to be paid between them, together with 3d., the value of the apples, and 4s. 6d. costs, THAMES. George Penny and Charles Moore, se: tmen belonging to the schooner Sisters, from Amsterdam, nor r lying in the London dock, were brought before Mr. Brederiip, charged under the 53d and 58th sections of the new Act for the prevention of smuggling, the Bth and 9th Viet., cap. B',T, with smuggling on board a certain vessel, liable to forfeiture in the port of London, and having on board 28ilb. of foreign-ma nufactured tobacco, the same being in packages less than 3001'b. weight each, re spectively, by which they had incurred a penalty of 1001. each. The prisoners pleaded Not Guilty. J. Harrison, an officer of Customs, depoued that he was sta tioned on board the Sisters on Saturday aft ernoon, and, upon rummaging the vessel, he discovered a door • in the bulk-head, which divides the forecastle from the hol d. The door was made fast by nails, and there was a seal upot t it which had been placed there by the Dutch authorities at Amsterdam. He broke the door open, and found that the cargo consisted of hogsheads of sugar stowed up close to the. deck. There was barely room for him to creep in between the tiers of hogsheads, far as the mainmast in the middle of the hold, but he succeeded in doing so , and , being provided with a lan tern, package, which consisted of an old pair of where he found a fifteen pounds of tobacco. e trousers, contai nin g about h he got as ds more.

He then sentenced the prisoners to pay a fine of 'lOO/. each to the Queen, and be imprisoneel till it was paid. COTTON SPINNE2S' RISE OF WAGE s.---We are in formed on good authority that at a meeting of the master cotton spinners of Glasgow and neighbourhood, heh 1 here during the present week, it was resolved, after some disci fission, to advance the wages of the workers from 5 to 10 per cen t. ou their present rates. a'usgow Saturday Post. ILFORD SPECIAL SESSIONS. On Saturday a special sessions for the annual granting of li censes to the licensed victuallers of the Ilford division of the county of Essex was held at the Angel Inn, High-street, Ilford, before Captain Davis, chairman, and a full bench of magis trates of the county. The attendance of licensed victuallers was very considerable, there being upwards of 200 licensed houses in this portion of the county, which comprises Barking, Stratford, West Ham, Wal thamstow, Dagenham, Leytoustone, Chigwell, &c. The whole of the licenses, with one exception, were granted. The one not allowed was ordered to stand over until the adjournment day, in consequence of there being an information against the landlord pending, for opening before one o'clock on the pre vious Sunday. The magistrates, as the police said that the house was most respectably conducted, did not wish it to stand over, but it being the practice to do so, they were compelled to adhere to the course laid down: The police inspectors who were present spoke highly of the good order that had been kept in the various houses during the past year, and the Bench said that good order might al ways be maintained, and that when the landlord could not enforce it, orders had been given to the police on all occasions to assist the landlords in keeping bad characters from their houses if required. IMPORTANT TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS HAVING STABLING ATTACHED TO THEIR HOUSES. In two cases that occurred during the day, the Magistrates called the attention of the applicants to the circumstance of their having stables attached to their houses, and wished to know if they were underlet to the ostlers. On being answered in the negative, The CHAIRMAN said he was very glad to hear it, for a case occurred some time since, in which a great quantity of corn was found in a stable attached to a public-house, and, on in quiry being made, it was found to have been stolen. The landlord of the public-house was applied to, and he said he knew nothing about it, as the stabling was underlet to the ostler. In consequence of this, the Magistrates en that Bench had come to the determination of refusing the license, or cause it to stand over, in all cases where they found the landlord of the public-house underletting that portion appropriated to stabling. There were four applications for licenses to sell spirits from the proprietors of beer-shops, all of which were disallowed. TREATMENT OF RAILWAY PASSENGERS. Yesterday Mr. Stavin ' the managing director ; Mr.: Godson, the superintendent of tra ffic ; and Mr. Dalby, the superinten dent of police on the South-Western or Southampton Railway, attended before Mr. Henry, at the Lambeth Police-court, to meet the charge and complaint of Mr. James Henry Lee, cheesemonger, of Great Russell-street, Covent-garden. Mr. Lee was also in attendance, and made a statement similar to that which he had made on Friday last, and which appeared in The Sun of Saturday last. Mr. Lee also pointed out George Leeke, one of the Company's servants, No. 119, as the person who had " clipped" his tickets on Sunday fort night, and also the person who had put him and Mrs. Lee into a first-class carriage at the Walton station on the same evening, stating that all the seeond-class carriages were full. In reply to the questions put to him, Mr. Lee said he was perfectly certain Leeke told him all the second-class carriages were full, for he put him and Mrs. Lee into a first. class carriage. He (Leeke) had taken them the whole length of the train, and it was only upon their return from the end that he had put them in the first. class carriage. Upon seeing Mr. Godson at the Nine Elms station, he told him what had occurred at the Walton station with the porter, but he (Mr. Godson) told him that he must pay the additional 2s. t3d., and apply to the secretary on the following day for redress, if there was anything wrong.: Mr. Godson here remarked that Mr. Lee's manner at the station on the night in question was very different indeed from that which he now assumed, and said that much of the time which he complained of being kept at the station was consumed by himself in taking the names of those of the Company's officers present. Mr. Lee denied that this was the fact, and said that he felt annoyed at the treatment he had been subjected to by the Company's officers. Mr. Stovin, in reply to the complaint, stated that the prac tice on the line was, that if it happened that there was not sufficient room in the second-class carriages, so that the Com pany's servants were obliged to put passengers into a first-class carriage, the fact was communicated to the guard of the train, and upon his representation to the ticket receiver, no notice was taken of it. In the present case the guard had no intima tion whatever on the subject of the complaint, and Mrs. Lee was in a first, though second-class passenger, and moreover, on reference to the waybills, it was found that upon the train leaving Walton station, there was room for twenty-nine pas sengers in the second-class more than they contained. Besides this, the agent at the Walton station had been written to on the subject, and upon making the inquiry there, the porter, Leeke, denied having told any passenger that the second-class car riages were full, and putting them into a first-class carriage. On the contrary, he said he recollected a lady and gentleman coming to him, and upon his asking them it they were first class passengers, they answered in the affirmative, and he con sequently put them into a first-class carriage. With these cir cumstances before them, they could do no more nor less than they had done. Mr. Lee observed that it was not likely that the porter would acknowledge his error, when such acknowledgment might lead to his being discharged from his situation. He (Mr. Lee) wa.. willing to believe that the circumstance arose through the mis take of the porter, but still he did not think that he should have been treated in the harsh manner he had, and more than all, to be charged first-class fare both ways, while in going down he had travelled by a second-class carriage only. Mr. Stovin observed they had a right to infer he travelled by a first-class carriage in going down as well as coming up. Mr. Henry did not think this is a good inference, and was of opinion the Company had no right to insist upon the first class tare both ways. Mr. Stovin observed that there was nothing to show the con trary that Mr. Lee and his lady did go down as well as come up by a fi, st-class carriage. Mr. Henry—He states he obtained two second-class day tickets, and your servants would not surely let parties into a first-class carriage, except on particular emergencies, with a se cond-class ticket. . VV Mr. Stovin—The Company's servants do not insist upon seeing the tickets ; and, in lad, the passengers consider it an annoyance to be ased to see their tickets. Indeed, many gen tlemen question our right to see the ticket, or to ask how far they are going I will mention one gentleman, who, it must be admitted, was a high legal authority, namely—the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, who denies the right. Mr. Godson remarked he thought they had a right to charge the complainant first-class fare both ways. He ( Mr. Lee) had entered into a contract with the Company to travel to Walton and back by a second-class carriage, and got day tickets for the purpose. He did not travel both ways as he had under taken, and, therefore, he had broken his contract with the Company. Mr. Lee replied that he had not wilfully done so. If his intention was to cheat or defraud the Company, he must be considered very silly indeed, as he must have felt thoroughly satisfied of detection upon arriving at Nine Elms station. John Catling, a ticket-collector, was then called, and said, that upon taking the tickets of Mr. and Mrs. Lee, on the night in question, he told them they had got into the wrong carriage. Mr. Lee replied that they had been put there by one of the Company's servants, and they had, therefore, a right to be there. They then got out, and were going away, when he told Mr. Lee he must accompany him to the superintendent's office, and after some hesitation, he did so. After George Leeke had given his evidence, Mr. Lee observed it was perfectly palpable he did not, or would not, recollect the circumstances, for the fact was, he was a partial witness. ,He (Mr. Lee) was willing to state on oath, and the fact could be corroborated, that he was the person he had applied to, to be put into a second-class carriage ; that he was the person who took him and Mrs. Lee along the whole line of train, and on their returning a short distance pointed to a first-class carriage, and desired them to get in, as the second-class carriages were all full. He questioned the witness as to whether all passengers at Walton station were taken up that night, and he answered in the affirmative. _ Mr. Henry—l have watched the countenance of this man narrowly, and feel persuaded in my own mind that he is stating circumstances which he states to have occurred, not from actual recollection, and that, in fact, he does not recollect anything about it. He was asked some days after if he had put a lady and gentleman in a first-class carriage who had only second class tickets, and he of course replied that he had not. This was the answer which was to be expected from him. It was not likely that he was going to admit an error which might endanger his situation. The question was who he should believe, Mr. Leo or Leeke, the porter. In the first place, it could hardly be supposed that a person in the situation and circumstances of life of Mr. Lee would have in ,the first place so strenuously objected to the payment of the 2s. Bd. at the station-house ; and though the warmth of his conduct there had been complained of, it was to him (Mr. Henry) a proof that he was right. Then, again, his taking the trouble to go once or twice to the station, his attendance at this Court, and altoge ther for a trifling charge, perfectly satisfied him (Mr. Henry) that the circumstances of the case were as he had stated them, and he was perfectly convinced that if Messrs. Slovin and God • son were on a jury to decide the question at issue, they would have no difficulty in deciding with him. He (Mr. Henry) thought Mr. Godson had done no more than his duty dictated, with the exception, perhaps, of charging the first-class fare both ways, and it would have been as well also if Mr. Lee had paid the demand under a protest. His impression, from all that he had heard was, that the 2s. Sd. should be returned to Mr. Lee. After some further observations, Mr. Venry said ho was glad the question had been asked. He had himself looked over the three voluminous Acts of the Company, and could not find anything to give him the power to issue a summons in a case like the present, or give Mr. Lee any assistance in the matter, the only remedy for him being by civil action. He should be glad to hear from Mr. Stovin if there was any clause which gave a magistrate the power of issuing a summons against the Company in such a case as the present. Mr. Stovin replied he was not aware there was such a clause; upon which Mr. Henry observed that the whole enactment was for the protection of the Company, and in the present case he could not even enforce the payment of the 2s. Bd. Mr. Stovin replied that this was not necessary as the mere suggestion from his Worship was quite enough. Mr. Henry told Mr. Lee that this arrangement would not bar his right of action against the Company for the false im prisonment, but there would be much difficulty he thought in getting a verdict. Mr. Lee said it was not his wish to proceed further. The matter was one affecting the public. He had brought it before the public in the hope of preventing a repetition, and he was now satisfied. ➢lr. Stovin ordered the return of the 2s. Bd., and the parties left the Court.

A district meeting of the electors of Christchurch, Blackfriars, was held at the Duke of Wirtemburg public-house, Hatfield-street, Stamford-street, for the purpose of hearing an exposition of Sir Wm. Moles worth's political opinions. At a few minutes after seven o'clock, Sir William, accompanied by same of the members of his committee, entered the room and was received with loud cheering. Mr. BRADY having been called to the chair, briefly explained the causes which had prompted the Hon. Bart. to come forward, and concluded by introducing him as a candidate for the Borough. Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH said that before pro ceeding to an exposition of his political sentiments he should advert to the other candidates who were in the field. The one was Mr. Filcher, who was decidedly opposed to him in principles ; and the other was Mr. Miall, who, defeated in argument, descended to per sonality.—(Cheers, cries of " No, no," and great con fusion.) He (Sir Wm. Molesworth) had been first accused by Dr. Price of gross dishonesty, and Mr. Apsley Pellatt called all those dishonest who supported him, because they did not think as he did.—(Cheers.) Mr. Pellatt had denounced him as unfit to be their representative in Farliament, because, forsooth, he had been educated in one of the English universities.— (Cries of " Shame.") Did he consider the being edu cated at one of these universities was a crime ? (Cheers.) If it were a crime, he acknowledged himself guilty.—(Cheers.) He had been educated at Trinity College, in Cambridge, where Sedgwick and Whewell were the tutors. (Cheers.) If it were a crime, it had been also committed by the greatest names in the country—the most intelligent, the most distinguished in literature, in science and the arts.— (Cheers.) He would put it, therefore, to them, if the very fact that there he got his education sh ou ld disqua lify him from being their representative ?—(Cries of " No, no.") But the Rev. Mr. Miall had asserted that he was insincere with regard to the voluntary question, be cause he happened to possess some property in the Church of England. Now he acknowledged that be did possess such property.—(Cheers.) He inherited it from his father, and could not suppose even the Rev. Mr. Miall could blame him for retaining it.—(Cheers.) He did acknowledge that his personal interests were to a cer tain degree opposed to voluntaryism ; but notwithstand ing this, he did solemnly declare that he was in favour of the voluntary principle.—(Cheers.) Could not the Rev. Mr. Miall conceive a notion higher than mere per sonal interest ? Did he think that there was no other feeling existing but self-interest ?—(Cheers.) Did he think that truth, and honesty, and justice, were fled, and that the governing principle in every breast was self, self, self ?—(Cheers.) Did he think that some men were not independent enough to hold opinions opposed to their personal interests ?—(Continued cheering) Aye, and to act up to them.—(Great cheering.) If he entertained such degrading views of human nature—(Ch eers an d great confusion)—he repeated, that if Mr. Miall enter tained these degrading views with regard to human nature, he was greatly to be pitied.—(lncreased confusion and great cheering.) But he would ask the Rev. Mr. Miall whether he himself supported voluntary principles from interested mo tives, or with dishonest views ?—(Tremendous up roar.) He (Sir William Molesworth) believed he did not, and he only wished that the same jus tice might he rendered to himself in return.—(Cheers.) He only wished that Mr. Miall would suppose that his (Sir William Molesworth's) feelings were equally just and honest as leis own.—(A Voice in the crowd—" Oh, he's a systematical, methodistical, atheistical humbug.") —(Roars of laughter, which stopped the proceedings for some time.) He (Sir William Molesworth) might state, in reference to his connexion with the Church of Eng land, that when asked to give ground for the erection of Dissenting chapels on his estates in Devonshire or Cornwall, he had done so.— (Cheers.) He had been ac cused by one man of gross dishonesty; by another with having received his education at the University of Cam bridge—(Derisive cheers)—and by a third with insin cerity, because of his connexion with the Church of England. Nay, lastly, the Rev. Mr. Miall had endea voured to excite against him every feeling of religious rancour and animosity, and, inquisitorial like, he had presumed to summon him (Sir William Mol,sworth) before his tribunal—(Cheers) —he had poured upon his head all the vials of religious wrath, and had stigma tised us dishonest those who had honoured him with their support.—(Cheers.) Yes, Mr. Miall had ca!lod upon the electors of Southwark to shrink from him with horror.—(Cries of "Shame.") He (Sir William Molesworth) was, in consequence of an inaccuracy in the morning papers, reported to have misrepresented Mr. Miall's opinions. From those reports he had been led to believe that Mr. Miall had promised, in the event of his being returned for Southwark, that on the very first opportunity he would, in his place in Parliament, test the opinions of the House of Commons on the voluntary question, by moving the appropriation of all the revenues of all religions.—(Cheers and confusion, which for a time impeded the address of the Honourable Baronet.) lie did believe that Mr. Miall had made such a promise, and, in con sequence, he (Sir Wm. Molesworth) had presumed to inform him that such a motion would be Considered by all practical men in the House of Commons as wild and extravagant.—(Cheers.) He had suggested to him to try, in the first instance, his hand upon the Church of Ireland.—(Cheers.) But it appeared that he had misre presented the Rev. Mr, Miall, for all he now promised was merely to adopt that very suggestion and to propose the appropriation of the Irish Church revenues.—(Cheers.) Why he (Sir W. Molesworth) would, if returned for them, do again what he had already in Parliament done, cordially support such a motion.—(Cheers.) The Her. Mr. Miall might have considered that he would be but adopting the well-known motion of Mr. Ward's, which he (Sir W. Molesworth) and other Hon. Members had voted for, long before Mr. Miall's name had ever been heard of.—(Cheers.) In fact, this mountain of the Rev. Gentleman's had produced a ridiculously small mouse.— (Cheers and laughter.) But Mr. Mall had also pro mised that if returned to Parliament he would move for the rescinding of the grant to Maynooth.—(Laughter and cheers.) Easier said than done.—(Cheers.) It was an idle threat, a mere brutum fulmen. Why they knew that in order to make such a motion it was necessary first to receive the sanction of the Crown. Now let them fancy the Rev. Mr. Miall.—(A voice, " He is not a clergyman; he never was." Another voice, " He is ;" great confusion.) Sir W. M O LESWORTH—Once a clergyman, always a clergyman. (Cheers.) (First voice—" He never preached." Second voice—" He did." Fi rst voice— " Where ?" Second voice — " Smithfield." Roars of laughter, cheering, and mart admired confusion.) Let them fancy his reverend friend Mr. Miall going to Sir Robert Peel and asking permission to make such a motion. Let them fancy him also givirg as a reason, that in order to defeat Sir William Moles worth in Southwark, he bad been obliged to promise his supporters to get the MaYinoth grant rescinded..— (Laughte r .) He would let them imagin e th e P r i me Minister's reply.—(Cheers.) But was the very prom i se to make su c h a motion not a positive insult t o t h e I r i s h peopl e ? M r . O'Connell had said to hi s fellow-country inen—(pAvuoitee. Down with O'Conn e ll.") If they wished to down O'Connell then let them do justice to Ireland.—(Cheers.) Mr. O'Connell had told his countrymen that from the days of Queen Elizabeth Eng lish legislation towards the sister country had been but a continued series of blunders.—(Cheers.) Then, would they, the electors of Southwark —would they let the Rev. Mr. Mall commit the crowning blunder of the whole by bringing forward such a motion ? If they wished the repeal of the union with Ireland, then indeed they would send such ms n as Mr. Miall to Parliament, to heap fresh suffering and fresh insults upon the people of that country.—(Cheers and great confusion.) The Hon. Baronet then proceeded to state his political principles. He was in favour of triennial Parliaments, the vote by ballot, and the extension of the suffrage.----(A voice— " You were once for immediate and universal suffrage.") He pointedly denied it. It was, indeed, asserted by Mr. Feargus O'Connor, in a handbill headed " Miall and the Charter," that he (Mr. O'Connor) had heard him, thrice, in the year 1836, advocate immediate and univer sieofno.re) His chara c ter and the world, and he univer sal suffra ge . He again denied that he had done so. He affirmed on hi s h onour as a gentleman th a t h e never h a d. that of f Mr. co —(Cheering and ,eo n g n r o e r a t wereco n b f u was very co n fid ent t h a t his assertion w ou ld h ave qu i te as much w e i g h t w i t h t h e people of England a s th a t o f the former g en tl eman .—(G r eat cheerin g .) Af ter some other observation s th e H on Baronet sat d own . Mr. WM. HAW ES , i n a short speech, p ropose d t h e usual resolutions, pledging the meeting to support Sir Wm. Molesworth in his election. Mr. MEEK seconded, and it was carried almost unani mously. Sir Wet. MOLESWORTH then proposed the vote of thanks to the Chairman, after which the meeting (certainly one of the noisiest yet held) dispersed. MEETING OF THE COMPLETE SUFFRAGE ASSOCIATION. Last evening a meeting of the inhabitants- of South wark, promoted by the members of the Metropolitan Complete Suffrage Association, ostensibly for the pur pose of advancing the principle indicated by the title, but in reality to take measures for securing the return of Mr. Miall as member for the borough, was held in the spacious lecture-room attached to the Literary Institution in the Borough -road. The chair was occu pied by Dr. Epps, who stated the objects of the meeting. Mr. DICK moved the first resolution, to the effect that in the opinion of the meeting, the present restricted and imperfect state of the representation was the strongest obstacle to the removal of monopoly, the source of bad laws, and the greatest enemy to the liberties of the people. Mr. CLARKE seconded the resolution in a clever ar gumentative speech, whi c h was lou dly cheered. motion was then p u t and carr i e d unanimously. Mr. HaLLam moved the next resolution, that every adult male of sound mind, and u ncontaminated by crime, was entitled to the elective franchise, and such protection in the exercise of it as would enable him to vote according to the dictates of his conscience. Mr. DicKsoN seconded this resolution, which was also carried unanimously. Several working-men, and others who described them selves as canvassers for Mr. Miall, subsequently addressed the meeting, and gave a h o p e ful account of the progress made by her a on behalf of their favourite carAidate. Mr. WEBB, the Chairman of Mr. Miall's Committee, stated that committees had been formed in Edinburgh, Glasgow, and various parts of Ireland, for the purpose of promoting Mr. Miall's election, and numerous re mittances, and letters of s y mpat h y, h a d been received front them, which gave them the strongest hopes of success. Mr. RICHARDSON proposed a resolution, pledging the meeting to support A . Ir. Miall at t h e h us ti ngs , which was carried by acclamation. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY. (Abridged from the Plymouth Herald.) • The third half-yearly general meeting of the South Devon Railway Company was held at the Royal Hotel, Plymouth, on Saturday, Thomas Gill, Esq., M.P., in the chair. The CHAIRMAN proposed that the common seal of the Company be affixed to the register of shareholders, and it being agreed to, he proceeded to address the meeting upon the objects now contemplated by the Board of Di rectors. He remarked upon the circumstances attendant on the postponement of the Cornwall Bill and the South Devon and Tavistock, and Launceston and Tavistock Bills. He then detailed the steps subsequently taken, and referred to the meeting held at Truro en Tuesday, all of which is already before our readers. He ob served that the measures adopted would deprive the Central Railway Company of any pretence to go to Parliament for its approval of the scheme started by them, as the Cornwall Railway would be so constructed as to connect the northern and central parts of that county with Launceston and the North of Devon, and provide ample accommodation for the inhabitants in every part of Cornwall. He regretted the postponement of the South Devc n and Tavistock, and Tavistock and Launceston Lines, and believed that would not have occurred had any member of the Committee who inves tigated the atmospheric system of traction been appointed upon the Committees on these Bills. As it was, however, they would be taken up in the next session at the point where they left off, and the only reason for regretting the postponement, was not that there was the slightest doubt of their being sanction( d by the legislature, but because had the Bills passed last session the lines would most probably have been opened at the same time that the Railway to Plymouth was finished, which could not now be dot e. Tho Hon. Gentleman then referred to the new projects to which it was intended that the Com pany should be asked to give their sanction by affording a portion of the required capital. He anticipated that very great advantages would result from the construction of the North Devon, and other railways referred to in the notice convening the extraordinary meeting, and he entered at some length into the details, which were very similar to the particulars given in the report subse quently read by the Secretary. He next spoke of the state of the works, and remarked that great benefit had resulted from the delay which had taken place, as they had now the benefit of seeing the results of the experi ments upon the Croydon Railway, whereby a consider able sum of money !would be saved is the outlay, the annual expenses would be diminished, and the line per fected in a way which they could hardly otherwise have hoped for. Amongst other things, it was now found that, instead of having a stationary engine at a distance of every three miles, one placed at a distance of five or six miles would accomplish the work, and in proof of the highly satisfactory nature of the experiments made upon the Croydon line, Mr. Gill read a letter from Mr. Samuda, in which that gentleman stated— lst. That we obtained a vacuum of 271 inches in 5 miles of pipe, working only one engine over the two sections to obtain it, not only once, but every time with ease. 2d. When the engine is stopped, the vacuum allowed to be destroyed by leakage, it takes two hours to reduce the barometer to zero, (though at Dalkey 15 minutes would be all the time it could be maintained above the zero point), the leakage being here less than I horse power per mile. 3d. The facility of obtaining the vacuum is greater, having regard to the length, than anything we have hitherto done. 4th. We have travelled over the 5 miles in 6m. 455. when working one engine only, and in 6m. 14s. when working engines at both stations (as intended in prac tice), viz., the middle and the ending, to propel the train. sth. To do the distance in the above time, which in cludes the time of obtaining our speed and coming to rest, the maximum speed was 70 miles per hour. 6th. The practical result of our working was to beat the Brighton quick train, having given it one minute law, and then started from rest, while the Brighton train passed the spot where we were standing at full speed, drawn by two locomotives, and continued with unabated speed, and was in tact going as fast as it could when we overhauled it four miles beyond where we started. 7th. With a train of eight carriages and about two hundred persons, we stopped with the brakes on the in cline rising 1 in 50, and started again nearly as free as on the level ; on the whole the results are beyond what we led any one to expect, and I trust it will not be long before I have an opportunity of showing them to the South Devon Directors. The best evidence of the value of Mr. Samuda's report was to be found in the fact that since its publication, the value of a share in the South Devon line had already risen 51., and he confidently believed that as future expe riments became known, the value of shares in railways constructed upon this principle would be greatly in creased. He would now call upon the secretary to read the report, and he did not doubt that the unanimity which had hitherto marked their proceedings would also upon that occasion be found to prevail. Mr. CARR then proceeded to read the REPORT. Your Directors have the satisfaction of submitting to you the half-yearly statement of accounts closed to the 30th June last, and which exhibits the following results: Total receipts as per Account, render. d to 31st Decem ber, 1844 £197,392 17 6 To 30th June, 1845 ... 123,674 1 6 -----E321,066 19 0 Disbursements to 31st Decem- ber, 1844 £ 91,574 17 5 „ To 30th June, 1845 272,127 8 3 ......... Shewing a balance in hand o n 30th June, _____. 1844, of Less Parliamentary Deposit with the Account ant-General Since the 30th June, the period to whict 7 t , h 6B e lO ae! counts extend, a ca ll o f 5L per share has been made; and your Dire c t ors ta k e this early opportunity of stating that 9 se the progress of the works will require their calling for another instalment, at the expiration of the interval pro vided by the Act of Incorporation. At the last half-yearly meeting of Proprietors your Directors referred in their report to the advantages which they anticipated would result from the construc tion of the Cornwall Railway ; and they were authorized by you to subscribe the amount of funds which it was then proposed to contribute towards the formation of that line. The Cornwall Railway Company not having obtained their Act during the past session, have now de cided :on applying to Parliament for an improved and more extended line ; and with the view of furthering the attainment of so desirable an object your Directors re commend not only the renewal of those powers which were conferred upon them in February last, but also that you should authorize their increasing your subscription to an amount not exceeding 200,0001. in the whole, if it should appear to them expedient, when the scheme for enlarging the capital of that company is laid before them. In regard to the South Devon Amendment Bill for the Plymouth extensions of your line and branch to Tavistock, your Directors have merely to report that this Bill and the Bill for the Launceston and South Devon Railway have received the sanction of the Committee of the House of Commons, but that their further progress has been postponed until the ensuing session. Your Directors have now to bring under your notice those projects in extension of your own line, or in sup port of other Companies, which circumstances require that they should press upon your consideration earlier perhaps than they would otherwise have thought ad visable. NORTH DEVON RAILWAY.—The most important of these projects, and the scheme to which it is proposed that you should afford a very decided support, is that of the North Devon Railway Company, which, while it supplies a desideratum in railway communication to the northern and central portions of the county, will also conduce in a material degree to the interests of the South Devon line ; and it is gratifying to know that the scheme has received the cordial support of the county and of the public generally. The advantages which may be expected to accrue from the North Devon Line having been fully consider ed at meetings of Directors of the Great Western, the Bristol and Exeter, and the South Devon Railway Com panies, it was resolved to recommend to their several proprietors to contribute jointly one-half of the re quired capital ; and your Directors now submit for your approval that the South Devon Railway Com pany subscribe 375,0001. as your proportion of that contribution. TORBAY BRANCH.—The construction of a Branch to Torbay and Dartmouth, from the South Devon Line, at or near Aller, has long been contemplated by your Directors, and the proposal would have been submitted to your consideration at an earlier period if the neces • sary arrangements could have been made for applying to Parliament during the past session. Your Directors have great confidence in the advantages likely to result from the formation of this Branch, and they therefore seek your authority to apply to Parliament in the ensuing Session for an Act empowering you to carry this object into effect in such manner as may appear expedient. The surveys not being yet complete, your Directors are unable to place before you the details of the line, or estimate of its probable cost ; but they have reason to believe that it may be constructed at a moderate expense. ASHBURTON AND NEWTON RAILWAY.—Your Direc tors report that a Company which proposes to connect the town of Ashburton with the South Devon line, at or near Newton, lately applied to them for assistance, and believing that the line will prove beneficial to your inte rests, your Directors are disposed to entertain the ap plication favourably ; but are not yet in posession of sufficient information to guide their decision. They, therefore, propose that you should confide to them such powers as will enable them at their discretion to afford to the promoters of this scheme that amount of assistance which may appear desirable. Your Directors have now to refer to the state and progress of the works. Some delays have occurred which were not anticipated when the last report was presented to you, but your Directors now look forward with great confidence to the rapid completion of that portion of the line which it has been their anxious de sire to open at an early period. Although themselves much disappointed that any delay should have arisen, your Directors feel nevertheless assured of the great benefit that will be derived from the opportunity thus afforded of effecting improvements in the general con struction of the works ; and they still entertain a con fident expect a ti on th at t h e entire line to Plymouth will be opened within the period originally contemplated. ENGINEER'S REPORT. Between Exeter and Dawlish the works are rapidly drawing to a close. A little delay has occurred at Cockwood, in consequence of the extreme softness of the mud, which is unable to carry the weight of the in tended embankment. A timber viaduct has therefore been designed ; it is in progress, and will shortly be completed ; this will meet the difficulty, besides affording other conveniences to the inhabitants of that part. At I)awlisb, the arrangements which have been re cently made have met with the approbation of the in habitants, and will shortly be completed. All the tunnels along the coast are on the point of being finished. At Teignmoutb, the tunnels and covered way are equally forward, as well as the works to within a short distance of Newton. Near this place some delay has arisen, from the difficulty of obtaining possession of certain land which prevented the progrgss of the work at a heavy cutting. This work, however, is now carried on by night as well as by day, and it will shortly be finished, From Newton to Plymouth the works generally are in a satisfactory state of forwardness, and are being pushed on with vigour. A considerable portion of the permanent way has been laid, and nearly all the materials for the first portion of the line are now on the ground. The Atmospheric pipes are in active pregres , and a portion of them is ready to be laid in succession to the permanent way. The engine houses up to Dawlish are in course of con struction, those at the Exeter end ai e ready to be roofed, and the machinery in a few days will be in course of erection. In the course of a month or six weeks a locomotive engine will be run over the line as the permanent way advances for the purpose of consolidating the earthworks. In conclusion, your Directors have the pleasure to con gratulate the proprietary on the successful result of the experiments which have been recently made upon the Croydon Atmospheric Line, far exceeding their most sanguine expectations ; and it is highly gratifying to your Directors to find that their views, as to the efficacy of the atmospheric system of traction have been thus amply realised. THOMAS GILL, Chairman. After a short conversation on the subject of the allot ment of shares in the North Devon Railway Company, Mr. PRANCE, with reference to the letter which had been read from Mr. Samuda, inquired as to the truth of a statement which he had heard : that as the carriages upon Atmospheric Railways approached the termination of each section, the speed was so sensibly diminished as to leave them almost at a stand still, so that there was nothing like an equilibrium in the rate of travelling ? The CHAIRMAN replied that he had mush pleasure in answering the inquiry. So far was the statement from being correct, that it was found upon the Croydon line that the barometer stood 26i at one end and 274 on ar riving at the other end of the five miles, showing a very little difference in the two extremities. Mr. PRANCE then observed that nothing had baen said as to the probable connexion of the Cornwall Railway with the South Devon line. The CHAIRMAN said that Mr. Brunel had received in structions to attend to the recommendations of the Com mittee of the House of Lords, and that until the result of that gentleman's survey was known, he would not be in a position to give them that information which might be desired upon this subject. Mr. I). DERRY then seconded the adoption of the re port, and it was unanimously agreed to. This concluded the business of the ordinary half yearly meeting. THE EXTRAORDINARY MEETING. The SECRETARY having read the notice of the Extra ordinary Meeting, The CHAIRMAN rose and proposed a resolution autho rising a contribution in aid of the Cornwall Railway to the extent referred to in the report. The resolution was unanimously agreed to. The CHAIRMAN then read a resolution approving of the proposed contribution in aid of the several lines included in the scheme of the North Devon Railway Company, which was seconded by Mr. PRANCE, and carried unanimously. The resolution approving of the assistance proposed to be given to the Torbay Branch, was seconded by Mr. E. NETTLETON, and carried lie/71 con. ASHBURTON AND NEWTON RAILWAY. — Upon a re solution sanctioning .a contribution to this project, should the Directors think fit, being read, Mr. T. W. Fox seconded the motion. he resolution wl ts then agreed to, with an alteration suggested by Mr. Derry, which sanctioned assistance beini given to any railway designed to connect the traf fic of Buckfastleigh e•nd Ashburton with the South Devon In reply to Mr. PRAN , CE, the CHAIRMAN stated that no additional powers 'woule: be required with reference to the South Devon Extension lines. Mr. Muncu having alluded to a report in general cir culation, that the Great Western Railway Company had withdrawn its support from what was generally known as the Cornwall Railway Company and had thrown its influence into the scale of the proposed Central Railway Company, Mr. BARLOW, Director of the Great Western Rail way, denied in toto that such was the fact, stating that, committed as they were to• the support of the West Corn wall and Cornwall Railways, they should oppose the Central Company in every• a'ay possible. The CHAIRMAN, with rel:erence to this subject, re marked that both the West Cornwall and South Corn wall lines were secured to the Cornwall line, and could not consequently be added .to the Central line.

GREAT EASTERN AND . ; WESTERN RAILWAY. WORCESTER, MONDAY EVENING.—An important meeting, in connexion with the Above undertaking, has been held at the Guildhall in this city to-day, the chair being taken by Alderman G. Al lies. It should be ex plained that when this line of r ailway was first pro jected it was intended, by takin ; Birmingham as the manufacturing capital, as well as ti to centre of England, to make a direct communication bet ween it and Swansea on the west, and Yarmouth on tine east, thereby con necting the Irish Sea and Bristol Channel with the German Ocean, embracing a population of three millions. This gigantic project has now been cons iderably modified, and in place of proceeding northwards from Worcester, via Stourbridge and Birmingham, to Leicester and thence to Norwich and Great Yarmouth, the line is now proposed to diverge from Worcester, through the Droit wich salt works, by Redditch, Henley-on-Arden, War wick, and Leamington, to Rugby, wlere it meets the Huntingdon line, and occuppying a cot use parallel with that originally proposed, passes by Ely and Thetford to Norwich and Great Yarmouth. The line of new rail way to be constructed, therefore, stops t,t Rugby. From Worcester the line passes through the important agri cultural district of Worcestershire and Ile refordshire, to the immense ironworks of South Wales, embracing Crickhowell, Abergavenny, Nantyglo, Tredegar, Rhym ney, Dowlais, Merthyr Tydvil, Cyfartba, Irwan, Neath, and Swansea, bran c h li nes ex t en ding t o Pontypool and Newport. It is to be constructed upon the broad gauge —the gauge of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhamp ton line of railway just commenced, and - which it meets at Worcester. At the meeting this afternoon the above notifica tion was fully explained by Mr. Ward, M.P., the Chair man of the Great Eastern and Wester n Company, who was accompanied by other members of the Provisional Committee, their engineer, and other .)fficers. The Hon. Member observed that the great difficulty which the Company had had to fight against was the mountainous character of the country surrounding Ole most important portion of the proposed line, viz., the South Wales iron fields, and upon this part of the subject the opinion of the chief engineer, Mr. Gravatt, was perfectly satisfac tory. After stating that nothing but a too confident reliance in the mere judgment of the eye, unsupported by any actual admeasurement, and w ithout any regard to the improved state of railway science', could have pre vented this railway being brought forward long ago, that gentleman goes on to state that evert on this, the most difficult part of the line, they had, at a fair cost, obtained inclinations and curves as much as 50 per cent. easier than those on some other lines in the kingdom now car rying on an immense traffic in both heavy goods and passengers, with great advantage to the public and great profit to themselves. J. WHEELER LEA, Esq., the Chairman of the Com mission for the improvement of the navigation of the Severn, also pointed out the advantages offered by this important line of railway, and especially the peculiar advantages to be derived to the trade and commerce of the city of Worcester. On the motion of Mr. BENNET, seconded by J. M. GUTCH, Esq., banker, an unanimous vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Ward, and the gentlemen who accom panied him, for their attenlarce here to-day, and the satisfactory explanation made to the meeting. Mr. WARD, having acknowledged the compliment in a few brief remarks, moved a vote of thanks to the chairman. Alderman ALLIES, in his reply to this vote, observed that he had entertained doubts about the feasibility of this project, on account of the engineering difficulties which it presented, but these were entirely removed. The meeting then broke up. CALEDONIAN RAILWAY. The first general meeting of tho Caledonian Railway Company was held on Friday at the Royal Hotel, Edin burgh, J. Hope Johnstone, Esq., M.P., in the chair. The Board o f Directors, fifteen in number, were all continued; the remuneration of the Board fixed at 1,000 guineas per annum; David Lindesay, Esq., Accountant, Edin burgh, and H. Brock, Esq. Manager of the Clydersdale Bank, Glasgow, were appointed auditors, and the meet ing separated.

FRESH Fisn.--Salmon is very nearly done - for season. The supply has fallen off earlier this year than last although the season upon the whole has been better. The price at present is 10d. to Is. per lb., grilze 7d. to di. The hers ing fishing is nearly over on this coast, and numbers of our fishers have gone north for the remainder of the season. We were informed that a goodly haul of herrings was obtained in the Crinan on Monday night last, which will be profitable to the fortunate fishermen. Whitefish have scarcely come in yet, here, but in a week or two they will be more plentiful and of better quality. We learn that the oyster fishers in Lochryan are making great p4.eparations for commencing operations for the season, and a lot are expected at the Hamilton-street fish mart early next week.— Greenock Observer. 0 N MARRI A G E- Its Hindrances and Obligations.
