BURGESS' NEW SAUCE, for general purposes, having given such great satisfaction, continues to be prepared by them, and is recom mended as a most useful and convenient sauce ; will keep good in all climates. NATIONAL LOAN FUND LIFE ASSUR-. ANCE SOCIETY, 26, CORNHILL, LONDON: Capital £500,000. Empowered by Act of Parliament. . The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu tion, both in its life assurance and deferred annuity departments, par licularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short policies— the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division of profits, have already been so well appreciated by the public, that the Society's great' success and growing prosperity enabled the DI-' rectors, at their General Meeting in May last, to add to each policy on the profit scale a bonus averaging Afty-five per cent. on the amount already invested; and this bonus, according to an equitable scale, may either be paid in cash, or applied in reduction of future premiums PUBLICATIONS. house, and there met Williams. They dined together, Williams paying the reckoning. Nothing particular was then said. After Booth left the house, Williams fol lowed him, and said Beeston wanted to see him at the Globe public-house on Copperas-bill. They went there together, but did not see Beeston. Williams said he knew what Beeston wanted, and that if he (Booth) was on a station for articles that paid a heavy duty, they might make 1,0001. each a month; that there would be four in it—the witness, Williams, Beeston, and another. The witness said he could not do it. Witness was away on leave on the 18th and 19th. On the 21st was on duty as a locker at Green's warehouse. One Richards was also a locker there. Beeston came about half-past four o'clock with Brocklehurst, and said he wanted to see witness. On locking up they went away together, Brocklehurst walking behind. Beeston then asked witness if he had seen Williams. Wtness said he had, and the subject of their conversation would not do. Beeston then said, " Well, Booth, you know best, but Williams has made 3,0001. by getting goods out in that way, which he has melted." Witness met Beesten and Brocklehurst again at the Waggon and Horses public-house in Whitechapel, but Williams was absent and nothing particular occurred. Did not see any of them again until the 25th. Was at Nuttal's, when Williams came in. He said he had bought forty four bags of coffee, and wanted to know if they came to witness's station, whether he would let th em go w i t h out paying duty. Witness gave an evasive-reply. Brockle hurst was at that time on the other side of the street. Witness communicated what took place to Richards, and then to Mr. Bulteel, the acting surveyor, and Mr. Brown, the superintendent locker. By their direction he went to Nuttal's with Richards. He saw Williams and Brocklehurst. He told them he could not do what was wanted -without the k now l e d ge o f his partner, Richards. Williams said he had no objection. A conversation then took place as to the mode in which the object was to be effected. It appears when goods are in one ware house and it is sought to transfer them to another, what is called a removal-sufferance is made out and pre sented to the warehouseman, and if there is a sufficient bond for the payment of the duty in the name of the person signing the removal, an order to permit is written on the removal-sufferance, as authority for the ware man. The goods are then sent in a locked cart with a cart follower, and a cart note is delivered to the officer at the second warehouse, which empowers him to re ceive the goods. Williams produced a delivery order, and said he was going to pass a removal-sufferance for forty-four bags of coffee to Green's warehouse; that he would get out ten bags the next day without duty, and would allow witness and Richards five sovereigns for the ten. He said witness's pay was very small, and that he might make a fortune in a short time. He said Beeston put them up to it. The next day Brocklehurst came to Green's warehouse. Mr. Bulteel was concealed near the locker's desk. He said that he had not been able to pass the removal-sufferance in time, but would remove them the next day. Witness shortly after met Brocklehurst in the street. While there Mr. Bulteel passed. He had spectacles on, that he might not be known. Brockle hurst asked the witness if he knew who that was. Wit ness replied he did not. The next day Brocklehurst came, about half-past two, and said the ten bags of coffee were coming. The cart came shortly after, and Williams with it. The cart note was delivered to witness and Richards, and Williams got the cart follower away. Brocklehurst stood at the corner of the street, about twenty yards off. Williams paid witness and Richards three sovereigns; he said he would remove the thirty four bags the next day. The cart then went away with the coffee, Williams following. Witness went to Brockle hurst, and while they were standing together Mr. Mil ted passed. Brocklehurst said, " That's the same gen tleman I saw yesterday. He's a superior officer to you. I should know him a quarter of a mile off." He said if he thought he was following the cart he (Brocklehurst) would bring it back. It appeared that Mr. Bulteel did follow the cart, and seized the coffee while Williams was removing it into a warehouse attached to some spirit vaults, kept by a person of the name of Rigmaiden. A number of witnesses were examined to show that Booth met the several :parties he mentioned at the time alleged, and Richards was of course able to speak to the several latter conversations with Brocklehurst and Wil liams. The case, however, against Beeston rested on Booth's testimony alone. The Learned Counsel severally addressed the jury for the defence, and his Lordship having summed up, the jury retired for some time, and returned into Court with a verdict of Guilty against Williams and Brocklehurst, Beeston Not Guilty. TO RAILWAY MECHANICIANS. The FIRST NUMBER of THE RAILWAY CHRONICLE will appear on 20th of APRIL. A detailed Prospectus will be sent free, by •poSt, to all who furnish their address to the Office, 14, • 'Wellington-street, North, Strand. London. Mr. Justice PATTESON was of opinion that the de stroyed building was neither an outhouse nor a ware house within the meaning of the statute on which the prisoner was indicted. With respect to the former term; it had long been settled that in order to constitute an outhouse, it must be connected with a dwelling-house, and in some respects parcel of it. This building was to solitary and unconnected erection, and could not be called an outhouse within the meaning of the Act of Parliament on which this indictment was framed. Nei ther was it a " warehouse ;" to come under that deno mination, the building must be such as factors or traders kept their goods in for sale, and where customers went for the purpose of viewing them, and not such as were used for the safe-keeping of goods merely. In this case the building was not even used for the safe-keeping of goods. He was therefore of opinion that the prisoner must be acquitted. The jury accordingly found the prisoner Not guilty. (Before Mr. Sergeant BYLES. Arthur Hammond and Robert Berry were indicted for feloniously shooting at Thomas Firmin, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm, or with intent to resist their lawful apprehension. Mr. Sanders conducted the prosecution, Mr. Gunning defended Hammond, and Berry was his own counsel. The prosecutor is under-gamekeeper to Mr. Browning, who hires the right of shooting in an extensive wood called the Hyde, near Bury, of which Sir Thomas Gage is the owner, and a Mr. Brown the occupier. The prisoners are labourers living in Bury, whose labours, however, appear to be pursued by night rather than by day, being persons somewhat given to the of fence of poaching. The prosecutor and one Taylor were watching in the Hyde in the night between the 6th and 7th January, and about the hour of two in the morn-* ing of the 7th they saw two men in the wood, orteof whom was armed with a gun ; this man was the prisoner , Berry—the other was sworn .to be Hammond. The keeper pursued the prisoners, and when about sixty yards off them, Firmin fell down, whereupon the pri soners began to stone his assistant, Taylor.. Taylor called out to the prosecut or , " Th e y are s t on i ng me ;;'' to which the prosecutor replied, " Let them, I'll stop 'em." The prosecutor had by this time risen from the ground, and went to the assistance of his companion, whereupon the prisoners ran away, pursued by the gamekeeliers. When the respective parties were within six or seven yards of each other, Berry turned round, levelled his gun at the body of Firmin, and fired it off. Taylor swore to having seen the wadding fly from the gun alight, and also having heard " something like shot ' fly from the gun past him. Hammond was at this time seven or:eight yards in advance of Berry and running away, and he continued to run as fast as his legs could carry him, not taking any part in the actual assault on the prosecutor. As soon as the gun had been fired Taylor came up and said to Berry, " Why, you villain, you would have shot that man if you could," and forthwith he struck Bei-ry some w me a s s urmsaercted blows on the head and felled him, after which he Mr. GUNNING, for the prisoner Hammond, submitted that there was no evidence to go to the jury against hit client. It might, perhaps, be conceded that they were in the wood with a common intent to take game, buq it by no means followed th a t t h ey h a d a common purp lose to resist whoever might oppose them. Indeed, at he time the prisoner B err y fi re d t h e gun, Hammond Was some yards in advance, and there was no evidence to show that he saw it fired, or was aware of Berry's in tention to fire ; he was running away at the time, and did not use any word whatever to encourage his coin panion to fire.

THIS IS TYE ONLY COMPANY who are bound by their deed of constitution net to dispute any policy, unless they can prove that it was obtained by fraudulent misrepresentation ; the great aim and object having been to render Life Policies COMPLETE SECURI TIES and NEGOTIABLE DOCUMENTS, which shall owe their value to the certainty of the contracts upon which they are founded, and be independent of the liberality or caprice of those who shall be in the management of the affairs of the Company when the claims arise ; and for this purpose the Company have, by a clause in their deed of constitution, unhesitatingly deprived themselves of the power of objecting to any policy, unless they undertake to prove that it was obtained from them by fraudulent misrepresentation. The regulations common to all ether Life Companies, which snake the validity of assurance contracts dependent upon the perfect correct less of the many statements required from a proposer for a Life Policy, and which have given rise to almost all the questions which have been argued in the Courts, and to many extra-judicial corn promises, are thus entirely abrogated ; and nothing but fraud, proved to have been committed against them, can vitiate a policy granted by this Cempany.

THIS IS THE ONLT COMPANY from whom the assured on the mutual principle, receive the whole of the mutual accumulations, and also a guarantee from the Shareholders for the sums assured. THIS IS THE ONLY COMPANY who bind themseivea to pay the sums in the policies, although the debts for which they were effected shall have been liquidated before the claims arise. The Company considering it only just towards the assured that where premiums have been paid for assuring a given amount, that amount should be paid ; and they undertake to de so without reference to the state of the accounting between the assured and kis debtor. THIS IS ALMOST THE ONLY COMPANY who grant in favour of creditors whole world policies, whereby the debt is secured, although the debtor should go beyond the limits of Europe. The premiums calculated according to the Carlisle Tables, are lower than usual Tools young lives, where participation in the profits is sot required ; and for short assurances, which, at the option of the assured, may be continued for life, the rates are as low as a due re gard to complete security will permit.

The Half-premium plan of ♦ssurance, as practiced by this Company, thus enables persons to retain to their own use the one-half of the premiums for the first seven years, at Si. per cent. interest. Thus, Suppose the or dinary premium for an assurance of 5001. to be 101., the first pay ment by the half-premium plan will be five guineas, being the one half of the 101., and interest for the retained half; and, if death should occur in thearst year, the suns of 500/. would be paid less the 51. retained. The assured may thus have the use for the first year of 51.; for the second, of 10!.; and so on till the end of the seventh year, when the retained sums, amounting to 351., may either he repaid, er retained at 51. per cent. interest until death, when the 351. would be subtracted from the 500!. thee payable by the Company.

The Learned JUDGE took the same view of the case, and directed him to be acquitted. In summing up the evidence, his Lordship left two questions to the jury, the first being whether Berry fired the gun with the intent charged in the first count, namely, to do the prosecutor some grievous bodily harm ; and if he did not, then, secondly, whether he fired with intent to resist his law ful apprehension ? With respect to the first, they would observe that the prosecutor did not, in fact, receive any injury, and there was no distinct proof that the gun was loaded with anything but powder and wadding, and the keepers had both spoken to the fact of the report being a " very faint" one, which tended to show that the gun did not contain a full charge. On the second question, he was of opinion that the prosecutor had no right to apprehend the prisoners. He was under-gamekeeper to ' Mr. Browning, but that gentleman had only the right of shooting in the Hyde. He was neither the owner nor the occupier, nor was he the lord of the manor. That being so, he was of opinion that the prisoner could not be convicted on the second count, as his apprehension by the prosecutor, had it been effected, would not have been " lawful." But, although that were so, and although Berry might not have intended to,do any grievous bodily harm to the prosecutor, still the firing of the gun at him was an illegal act, and amounted to an assault, and he might be convicted of that offence.

This being Good Friday, the Courts were not opened till one o'clock. There are three Courts sitting for the purpose of delivering gaol. Mr. Justice Wightn3an presides in the Crown, Mr. Justice Cresswell in the Nisi Prius Court, and Mr. Cockburn is sitting in a room at the Market-house. Saturday, April 6. • John Britton was indicted for having assaulted James Bartlett on the 21st of August, 1826, and robbed him of a pair of boots, a pair of braces, and a sovereign. Mr. Stock and Mr. Fitzherbert conducted the case for the prosecution; and Mr. Cockburn, Mr. Kinglake, and Mr. Stone, defended the prisoner. It appeared that on the 21st of August the prosecutor was at a fair at Priddy, near Wells, and that about eleven o'clock at night, hearing cries of " Murder," he went out of a " bush-house" (beer-house at a fair), and was knocked down and beaten till he was insensible, his boots taken off; and a sovereign taken out of his pocket; when he recovered his senses he could not crawl, but was carried home. Although so long ago, he had not yet re covered from the injuries he received that night. A. man of the name of Burton was afterwards apprehended for the offence, was tried, convicted, and executed. In quiries were made for the prisoner, who was at the time a kind of horse-dealer, but he could not be found. A witness named Lapstone gave the following account of the transaction:—He saw Britton and Burton coming from towards the " bush-house;" he stood on one side. fle saw Bartlett coming along after the two men. Brit ton and Burton returned and gave Bartlett the meeting. Britton went up to him, and knocked him down with a whip which had a hammer at the end of the handle. Burton then beat him with a large stick, which was the leg of a trestle. Britton fell with one knee upon Bartlett's" breast. More of the party, who were gipsies, then came up and surrounded them. He saw Robert Burton, the brother of the man who was exe cuted, carrying away Bartlett's boots ; be heard them talking about the division of the property they had taken. The witness swore most positively that he had never said he could not swear to the person who had knocked Bart lett down. Another witness, named Charlotte Nash, who had a standing close to where this occurred, swore that she saw Britton knock Bartlett down, and Burton take his boots off, and Britton kneel upon him and unbutton his small clothes ; heard Britton say, " We've got the boots, and now let us cut." They tried to pull off his small clothes, but could not. She had known Britton from a child; he at first sold oranges and lemons at fairs, and afterwards dealt in horses. She subsequently saw Burton try on Bartlett's boots. James Loxton, who was a waiter in a booth, saw Britton and a large party of men going about the fair together, and he said to Brit ton, " You devils, what are you going about, you'll kill same one or other ?" Britton replied, " You` hold your tongue, we are going to have a spree to-night, and no one is going to injure you." At break of day next morning he heard some one groaning outside the booth. He went out, and saw Bartlett lying on the ground with his face covered with blood. John Higgs, who was at the fair, swore that the prisoner and three others knocked him down and robbed him. In his cross-exa mination he swore that he had never said he did not know who had robbed him. Other persons swore that they saw Britton and Burton together at the fair that night. It then appeared that in September last a person who had formerly resided in Somersetshire, and is now a sergeant in the London police, saw the prisoner at Smithfield market, and gave such information that the prisoner was apprehended at Walton, in Leicestershire, at a fair on the 19th of September. When told of the charge the prisoner said he had nothing to do with it, that it must be a mistake, Burton must be the man, and the names - Burton and Britton were very similar. The prisoner had 118/. in his pocket, and some horses. To another constable the prisoner said it was a bad job. He was at the fair, but had taken no part in the affair ; and that, if he had thought he should have come-to this, he would have put a rope round his neck. For the prisoner witnesses were called, some of whom stated that they saw the row, and that ,Britton bad no thing to do with it. Another said that Bartlett had fre. quently told him - that he did not know who had struck him, and that the witness Higgs had said he did not know who had robbed him. Other witnesses were called, who said they would not believe Lapstone on his oath. Several persons from Leicestershire, Staines, New bury, and London, were called, who had known the pri sonerminuteness. ihnegy gave summed him n a p most with e g x r c e e a l t - The jury returned a verdict of Not guilty. y j e u a ixi rs, B an h d av t l li I l e e hf ao L rr r ft C n e er e e. dn The jury acquitted Hammond, and found Berry guilty of an assault only, and he thereupon received sen tence of six months' imprisonment. Saturday, April 6. Leech Barley was indicted for setting fire to several barns and stacks of corn, the property of John Gay ford. Mr. Prendergast and Mr. O'Malley prosecuted, and Mr. Dasent defended the prisoner. The prosecutor is a tenant of the Duke of Grafton, under whom he occupies a large farm, at Rymer's-point, in the parish of Trowston. The prisoner, in November last, was a labourer in the parish of Sapston, a village, distant four miles from Trowston. He had been some weeks absent until the night of Sunday, the 19th of November, when he was seen in the parish of Ingham, which adjoins Trowston. He there overtook on the road one James Rosier, of whom he inquired the way to Rymer's-point, saying "he had very particular business to transact there with Mr. Gayford." He was told the way, and continued to walk on with Rosier. As they . jogged along, the prisoner said to his companion tell you what, old friend, there'll be a fine fire to-night at old Gayford's ; a regular flare-up, I may say." He also observed, "Them stacks," pointing to some which stood by the wayside, "would inake a - fine blaze, they would." Rosier then left him, and be was next seen at the Griffin public-house, at Ingham, where he repeatedly •asked the way to Rymer's-point, and said he would give any man 2s. that would show him the way. (This he appears to have said in order to avert suspicion, as he had formerly worked for Mr. Gayford at Rymer's-point, and knew the way intimately.) He also pulled out a pair of light shoes, and remarked " they were his shoes when he wanted to scour across the country in double. quick time." He left the Griffin at ten o'clock, and the tire, which was thred miles from that public-house, was first seen at eleven. At half -past twelve he was seen skulking under a wall at Honington, a place midway betwixt Rymer's-point and his own house, which he reached at one o'clock. He told the woman who was sitting up for • him, that there was a noble fire at old Gayford's, and his stacks and all were levelled with the ground, and he wished Gayford was burnt as • well." He added, he should like to serve two or three more of them so ; that was the only way to get rid of Kersey Cooper. (Mr. Cooper is steward to the Duke of Grafton, the prose cutor's landlord). He further said, the proper way to be sure to get rid of Cooper was to set his ricks on fire, and drop a note for the Duke of Euston-hall, saying " Duke, if you don't get rid of your steward, you'll hear more about it." On the morning after the fire the foot steps of the prisoner were traced from a gap in the hedge of a field which adjoins the prosecutor'si stack yard, in a direction from the Griffin to the property that was burnt, and also from the stacks in a direction that led to Honington and Tapston. The prisoner was after wards apprehended on this charge, and gave an account to the constable of the way in which he went home from the Griffin, which was consistent with his innocence, but wholly inconsistent with the evidence of his being seen at Honington, and of his footsteps being traced as already mentioned. In addition to this evidence, one Shadbolt ,a convicted felon, who was in the gaol with the prisoner, deposed to a circumstantialconfession which he said the prisoner made to him. Mr. DASENT addressed the jury for the prisoner, whom they found Guilty after the Learned Judge had summed up the evidence, and he was sentenced to bo transported for life. After the prisoner's condemnation, he was handcuffed this () c f . to another convict, and taken from court in order to be and he h h as t n o not clock sinee when been heard n removed in the van to prison. As he was passing from the door of the court to the van , he contrived to get his hand free of the handcuff , and to make his escape thro ug h heth the wasm curred, and it was of course dark ; for a mi nu t e or two No blame whatever is attributable t o t h e gaoler or his as sistants. c not wd. missed, It was a past eight Horsham - HiVerfordwest - Hampstead - - Holyhead - .

RAILWAY TO SCOTLAND.—The whole of the capital of the Caledonian Railway, from Carlisle to Glasgow and Edinburgh, has been subscribed for, and the shares are now at a premium in the stock-market ! This is an instance of public confidence and approval, of which we scarcely know a parallel. In the meantime the promoters of the Glasgow, Ayr, and Dumfries line •to Carlisle, are using the most strenuous exertions to run down the " Caledonian" and exalt their own. Our advertising columns afford some proof of the warmth with which the subject has been taken up ; but still more fiercely does the ,war rage in Edinburgh and GlasgoW. Of the success of the " Caledonian," however, there can be no doubt. IRISH NATIONAL EDUCATION. The Evening Packet contains the following parragraph in reference to this subject:—" We regard the present time as the eve of a crisis in the affairs of the Church, and we feel thoroughly convinced that the character of that crisis, good or bad, • mainly depends upon the conduct of the ministers of the Establishment in connection with the great question of education. We have reason to know that some of the warmest opponents of the national system think the - time has arrived when that apposition shotild be abandoned." NORFOLK CIRCUIT.--Bury St. Edmund's, Aprils. (Before Mr. Justice P ArrEsoN.) Frederick Borley was indicted for setting fire to a building in the occupation of Mary Rust. The first count of the indictment described the building as an out house, the second as a warehouse. Mr. O'Malley was counsel for the prosecution, and Mr. Crouch for the defenc!... — lt appeared that the building which the prisoner was accused of setting on fire stood in a hop -ground belong ing to the prosecutrix, and could be seen from her house, rout it was unconnected with any of the buildings at tached to_ the house. It was open on the lower floor, which 'was used by the hop-pickers employed by the prosecutrix, and also for the stowing away of hops in their green state until they became fit for drying in the hop-oast. The chamber above the picking-room was covered in on all sides, and was used for laying up the hop-skips and the various tools in use in the hop busi ness. -No hops'in a dried or marketable state werelept in'any part of the baling.

At the last quinquennial meeting there was added a bonus to the life policies equal to 25per cent. on the sums paid, and a bonus of 5 per cent. to the shares, in addition to the payment of the annual interest. For the convenience of parties wishing to assure for a specific sum, without a prospective bonus, a new table at lower rates has been calculated, on which, as well as on the particlpatirig scale; one half the premium may remain on interest at 5 per cent. for five years, thus enabling a person to assure his life for £l,OOO on the im mediate payment of the premium for £5OO only. The following are the annual premiums for the assurance of £lOO for the whole life, one-half of which may remain for five years by merely paying the interest annually at 5 per cent.; and should the policy become a claim in the interim, the amount due will then be deducted.

The - Chairman (John Moss, Esq.) opened th e p rocee di ngs , s t at i n g , t h at as to le pro posed subscription of this Company to the Chester and Holyhead Railway, which they had be en induced to consider by b e i ng informed that a considerable an nual sum was to be paid by the Government - as for public service, they retired from the undertaking only when the certainty of making any such arrange ment had wholly ceased to exist. The Chairman de nied that he had ever applied 'for, or held a single share in the Chester and Holyhead Railway. In reference to a r e p or t, t h at, of late, he and the other Directors had considerably reduced their shares in the Grand Junction Company, the Chairman added, " Almost every Director (myself included) holds every share he did on the Ist of January last; and the greatest number of shares which any Director has parted with since that time, is ten. The shares held by myself and my family would more than qualify the whole Board twice over, and I have no intention of reducing my interest in the concern ; for I know no railroad whatever more deserving of being considered a desirable permanent invest ment than the Grand Junction. The last and most singular complaint which I have seen made against us is, that we are are opposed to the improvements going on and projected at Birkenhead.. In point of fact, no such subject has ever been even enter tained by or mentioned to the Board, or to any member of it, so far as I know—certainly not to me." Captain Huish then read a report from the Directors, recommending a creation of shares to the extent of the 250,0001. to be supplied by this Company towards the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway, and re commended the Shareholders to embark 100,0001. in it, but declaring that the Directors did not intend to ask a vote on this occasion. The Directors also announce, that they "purpose calling up the unpaid portions of the new quarter shares in due course, as the amount can now be advantageously applied to the purpose originally intended, namely, the payment off of the mortgage debt." With reference to the pro- _ posedline to connect Shrewsbury with the - Grand I, - Junction Railway, the report states, that the expense of a railway to Stafford or Penkridge will be consi derably less than to any point further south, while the traffic will , certainly be greater, inasmuch as Manchester and Li ver p oo l, and all the north, as well as the south, will be thereby accommodated, and not the south only, as would be the case if Wolverhampton were to be the point. The Directors estimate the gross return' on a . branch from Shrewsbury to the Grand Junction line at Stafford or Penkridge, to be such as to justify them in recommending their Shareholders to take a lease of the line at 4/. per cent. on the cost of it (which may be stated at 400,0001.), with a divisiou of any further profit. between the lessors and lessees equally, as the working expenses (undertaken by the Grand Junction Company with their present establishment) would be unusually low, and there would be a consideiable accession of traffic to the main line. If the branch were carried by an independent party to a point on the Grand Junction farther south than Penkridge, the cost would he much greater, and the probable profit would he quite insignificant, because the working expenses would then be at the ordinary high rate on short lines, and the Liverpool and Manchester and north traffic would be wholly lost. The Directors consider a branch from Shrewsbury to their line at Stafford or Penkridge to be essential ; and accordingly they in tend to arrange for having it brought before Parlia ment next session, whether the Wolverhampton Rad Shre wsbury line be prosecuted or not. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, approving the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway Bill, and declaring that it is for the interest of -the Grand Junction Company to promote the constructien of a railway connecting theirs (at Stafford or Penkridge) with Shrewsbury; and the Directors were instructed to take the neces sary steps for a Parliamentary application next ses sion, subject to the appeal o f a f u t ure general meeting of Proprietors. : Other resolutions were passed as to the creation of new shares, and the meeting then terminated.—Manchester Guardian. THORWALDSEN'S FUNERAL. (Extract from a Private Letter.) COPENHAGEN, MARCH 30.—The last solemn rites over the remains of Thorwaldsen were celebrated this day. "Never," says the Berlin Gazette, "has Copen hagen witnessed a solemnity in which all its citizens exhibited so much sympathy and grief, and never has the true Scandinavian spirit manifested itself among the inhabitants of ali ranks and of all ages, more dis tinctly and more beautifully than on the present occa sion. The body lay in state yesterday, in the room appropriated to antique works of sculpture in the Thorwaldsen MUseum. Here the ceremony com menced this morning at eleven o'clock, with a dirge, composed by Hoist and Kung, and executed by all the students of the Academy of Fine Arts. After this, the Reverend D r . Cl aussen delivered a very beautiful and appropriate 'oration upon the extraordinary abilities and genius of the dee ceased. The coffin was then taken down and placed in the hearse, during which the members of the Ita lian Opera, who were placed in Thorwaldsen's studio, performed a cantate in Italian, written by Speratti, and composed by Hoist, and when the hearse moved slowly away the students of the Academy of Fine Arts sung another beautiful plaintive song from the balcony Of the building. The mournful procession was headed by two of the most eminent members of the Academy of the Fine Arts, followed by about eight hundred students ; after them came all Thorwaldsen's countrymen—all the icelanders now residing here —and then, almost without exception, all the artists in the city. The plain open coffin came next, simply ornamented on one side with a beautiful carving of the Fates, after a design from the great master's own hand, and a design representing Victory on the other. On the coffin were placed interwoven branches of palms and cypress, but none of the numerous decorations be longing to the deceased sculptor. On the canopy of the hearse was placed one of the last and most beau tiful works of the great artist, Hope leaning on an anchor. Next came, immediately after the corpse, as chief mourners, all the members of the Academy of Fine Arts, headed by their President, his Royal High ness the Crown Prince, followed by all the other Royal Princes, and a great number of the principal officers of state, officers of the army and navy, and upwards of 8,000 citi zens o f a ll classes. All the streets through which the procession passed, from the Museum to the church of the Holy Ghost, were lined en espalier with the different companies of trade, with their colours and ensigns covered with crape, and they themselves in deep mourning. The streets, from the c h urc h of the Holy Ghost to that of Notre Dame, where his last resting place was prepared, were lined in the same manner by the different regiments of the garri son, and the whole distance from the Museum to the Notre Dame (about an English mile) was, according to the ancient Scandinavian custom, strewed with white sand intermixed with juniper leaves. At the entry of the church his Majesty the King, in deep mourning, received the corpse, and after the coffin. had been placed on a ctahteafarleqquueiemwhiwcahs phearfderbmeeend one of Thorw a ld sen ' s most e ta c t t w ed hic fo h r w th as at w p r li t rr n s b e, y intimate friends, the celebrated Adam Oehlenschlarger, and composed by Glaser. The Bishop of Seeland, the Right Rev. Dr. Tryde, then performed they funeral service, and delivered a most eloquent oration; after which the coffin was consigned to its last abode, during which time the students, amounting to seve ral thousands, who had not found admittance into the interior of the church and had placed themselves in the churchyard, sung a hymn, also written and com posed for the occasion. Her Majesty and all the Royal Princesses occupied the royal pew during the whole of the ceremony." The bells of' all the churches in the capita tolled from eleven till two o'clock, and when the procession came in sight, the " Dead March" from Saul was performed. As was anticipated, Thorwaldsen has left nearly all his property, which is more considerable than was supposed, to the museum that bears his name. A monument upon a most magnificent scale will be erected to his memory, at the public expense, for which subscription lists have already been opened, headed by his Majesty, with the munificent sum of 25,000 dollars. We are happy to announce that, in the winter of 1840 or 1841, Captain Edward Hight, in the command of the Lady Raffles, a large ship, bound to Van Diemen's Land, with convicts, at the entrance of the British Channel fell in with a Russian merchantman, the Comilla, with a crew, con sisting of the captain and sixteen men, whose vessel had sprung a leak the previous night, and was then in a sinking state. With much difficulty, and the loss of a boat (it being bad weather), Captain Higlit succeeded in getting them all on board of his ship ; thus preserving from destruction' seventeen of his fellow-creatures. This philanthropic conduct having been represented to the Emperor of Russia, he hes thought proper to mark his esteem of this gallant and humane serv i ce by presentina Captain Hight with n gold medal, with the inscription " For saving those who were in peril," and the riband of the order of St. Ann of Russia, to be worn round the neck. Captain Edward Hight, we are proud to say, is a native of Doyen—Dery Chronicle, BOGNOR.—This town has for some time past be come mach agitated from the conduct of the clergy, who, in despite of the known sentiments of many of the inhabitants, have thought proper, under the plea o f a renewal of obs o l ete customs, to adopt in the morning service forms so highly offensive, that some of the con gregation feel obliged to leave the church during the- service, whilst others are precluded from going thither —a course persevered in by the Vicar, in defiance of the earnest and affectionate 4 04 treaties pf the chief of his panshioners. , _.,, . „.,."'P - - , .. i ',"'".- APRIL 8 1844. r ,-__ ''..1. - _ -...,-,.. f' ..., - . , , .ro. , J . . te i , .. ... ..I.r.v: l'a 5 , PRICE sd.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.---Liverpool, April 4. (Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) THE LAST WRIT OF BIGHT—RUSHTON, DEMANDANT, V. NESBIT, TENANT. This was a writ of right to try the title to a very con siderable property, situate in Chorltoneupon-Medlock. The writ of right was an ancient remedy for the reco very of lands in fee simple, when .by length of time or other circumstances, the claimant was shut out from asserting his right in the action more usually adopted for that purpose. Evidence having been adduced, Mr. DUNDAS stated that his Learned Friend (M r . Archbold) a n d hi mself had carefully watched the case throughout, and that he must admit he was not able to answer the evidence on the other side, or to impugn with effeat the title the tenant had set up. A verdict was returned accordingly. Friday, April 5. (Before Mr. Baron ROLFE.) ALDERSON V. WAISTEEL AND OTHERS. This was an action to recover damages for assault. The plaintiff and the defendants in this case are far mers, residing at Birkdale, in Yorkshire, and are of re spectable standing in their calling. The plaintiff and one of the defendants are severally possessed of certain land at Birkdale, and entitled to common pasture on certain wastes there situate. The sheep of each person were tended in a particular part of the common, which was called the " heaf " of that party ; and after being kept in the heaf for some time the sheep were, with little difficulty, induced to remain within the pre scribed limits. The plaintiff had two bields, or stone in closures, Co shelter the sheep in rough weather, on the common, as well as the defendant ; but the latter took it into his hend that besides his own, he would take possession of one, of ' the plaintiff's Melds. On Sun day, the 4th of February, the nephew of the plain • tiff was at the bield, tending his uncle's sheep, when the elder defendant came up to him, and said he would have one of the plaintiff's bields. The plaintiff might retain which he liked, but he (the defendant) would have the other. On the following day the plaintiff and his nephew were at the bield, when the elder defendant came up on horseback, using very violent language towards the plaintiff. , His son, another of the defendants, was crossing the common with some sheep, and both proceeded to drive the sheep towards the bield of the plaintiff. The plaintiff and his nephew drove their flockiso as to be interposed between the bield and the sheep of the defendants, and the two flocks becoming mixed together, a contest arose between the parties, the plaintiff and his nephew trying to keep the defendants' sheep back; the defendants urging them forward. The elder defendant at last struck the plaintiff a severe blow with a stick, which knocked him down; The plaintiff did not return the blow, but g, still endeavoured to make the sheep turn back. The defendant then snatched a larger stick from the hand of his son, struck the plaintiff another severe blow on the head, knocking him down a second time, and then seizing him by the heels dragged him over the . stony ground, and flung him into a ditch at some distance. The younger defen dant also threw a stick at the plaintiff and struck him. This was the assault complained of. Mr. DUNDAS addressed the jury for the defence, con tending that the nature of the assault had been much exaggerated, and-that the defendant had done no more than was necessary to remove the obstruction which the plaintiff offered to his driving, as he had a right todo, his own sheep off the common. A verdict was finally returned for the plaintiff— Damages 10/. A4.,t0 the younger defendant a verdict of not guilty was returned. Saturday, Apri G. • THE • QUEEN AGAINST 'WILLIAM, BROCELEHURST, AND BEESTON. This was an indictment for a conspiracy to defraud her Majesty of certain duties of the Customs. Mr. Starkie, Mr. Wortley, and Mr. Cardwell, were for the prosecution. The prisoner Williams was defended by Mr. Bamshay, Brocklehurst by Mr. Sergeant Murphy, and Beeston by Mr. James. The principal witness against the defendants was a person of the name of Booth, a locker in the Customs, who stated that on the 17th of July last, while he was standing under the dome of the Custom-house; Beeston, who is a landing-waiter, came up to him and said he wanted to speak to Aim.
