TIAILWA Y I d TELLIGEI CE. CORNWALL DIRECT CENTRAL.-COUNTY MEETING. Arc. 29.—Tha county meeting at Bodmin this day attracted the greatest attention, and drew crowds to the county town. Cornwall has long been desirous of participat ing in the benefits of railway communication, and the feeling of the county, as expressed by the inhabitants at various public meetings, has been decidedly in favour of a central line. Against this feeling the Great Western Company have hither to contended, and under their auspices the coast line was bought out, and pushed before Parliament, till, having in the recent session been forced through the Commons, it was suddenly shipwrecked in the House of Lords. The declaration of the Great Western people in favour of the coast line had paralysed the hopes of the natives, who abandoned all thought of getting their direct line. But on the defeat of the coasters their hopes revived, and it was determined that a county meeting should be he'd for the purpose of testing the feeling of the county on the re. opening of the question. The Cornish people assembled in great numbers from the coast and the west. Several parties from London, Exeter, Plymouth, Bristol, &c., also attended. Among the parties from Exeter were the Mayor, Edward Woolmer, Esq., Mr. James Woolmer, his son, Captain Hulme, John Daw, Esq., 11, D. Barton, Esq., &c., connected with the direct route from London or its proposed branches ; Mr. Wrey, connected with a former plan to bring a line by the valley of the Taw to Exeter, and a deputation from what may be called the great central interest. The requisition was signed by 1,300 freeholders ; and amongst those who attended were the following :—John 1-learle Tremavne, E. Archer, of Trelaske, J. K. Lethbridge, W. H. Arundel Harris, F.sqs. ; Captain Hext, Captain Collings, Dr. Yen, Dr. Michel ; Rev. Mr. Kingdon, of Pyworthy, Rev. 11. A. Simcoe, W. Braddon, Esq., Goldsworthy Gurney, Esq., Humphrey Williams, Esq., Richard Harvey, Esq., of St. Day; Steven Davy, Esq., Richard Davy, Esq., William Davy, E.g., Richard Thomas, Esq., of Falmouth Thomas Harvey, Esq., James Bull, Esq., T. H. Tilley, Esq., Sergeant Gazelee, T. C. Rowe, Esq., Captain Moreshead, William Sandys Sandys. Esq., Richard Gully Bennett, Esq., D. P. Hoblyn, Esq., &c. There were present also—The Chisholm, and John Chapman, Esq., Directors of the South Western Railway Company, who attended with the deputation from the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil lines, with the secretary, L. Crombie, , H. D. Barton, Esq., and Mr. Wrey, who attended as a deputation from a proposed direct Barnstaple and Exeter line ; Sir W. Tonkin, John Whidborne, Esq , Ed. Pryor, Esq., and P. Pearce, Esq., who attended as a deputation from the Dart ' n ouch, Torbay, and Exeter line ; and W. D. Moore, Esq., ho, with Mr. Collumbine, attended on behalf of the direct project. which fell to the ground before the unanimity of the proposed line. The High Sheriff, E. Road, Esq., of Trebartha Hall, opened the meeting at one o'clock, in the Nisi Prius Court of the • Ceuroy Hall. The SHERIFF said the meeting was convened, in consequence of a requisition which he had received, bearing the signatures of the Lord Lieutenant of the county, Lord Carteret, Lord Vivian, besides a great number of the gentry, merchants, and freeholders of the county. The UNDER-SHERIFF read the requisition, after which The Mon SHERIFF read letters from Mr. Carew, M.P., who declined to be present as he should not like to take part in a meeting, the proceedings of which he might have to decide upon in Parliament. Mr. Rashleigh would not interfere till some specific line was decided on by the county. Sir Charles Lemon was abroad, and Mr. Pendarves was ill. But, of the latter gentleman, 31r. Rowe would probably report. Sir W. S. TRELAWNEY, Bart., the Lord-Lieutenant of the county, was warmly cheered on stepping forward to propose the first resolution. He said that so far as his own personal interest was concerned, he should have been muck more satis fied with the south line, as that line would be most convenient to his little property. But it was such a line that he could not sanction it, although it had been supported by gentlemen whose talent and position made him most reluctant to oppose them.—( Hear, and cheers.) About ten years ago the cen tral line eas first brought before the country. A committee appointed to consider the subject reported unanimously that the line was one which afforded the prospect of a paying traffic, and that there were no engineering difficulties which coell not be overcome. From that time to this the central line had been his favourite plan--(Cheers)—and he believed that there was now a fair prospect of seeing it carried into effect. The lion. Baronet concluded by moving the first reso lution, which was received with great cheering :—" That the general interests of the county of Cornwall, as well as the pudic at large, absolutely required that no trunk line should be sanctioned through the county which did not afford the most direct, central, safe, and continuous railway c aninunivation from Falmouth and Penzance to London." Joffe K. LETHBRICGE, Esq., Chairman of the Quarter Ses sions, secondel the resolution, and asserted that the cental line was the only one which would be beneficial to both sides of the county.—( Great cheering.) It would bring the north of the county fairly into existence; for if the south line had been carried, a considerable portion of the north, as well as a poi-- than of the county of Devon, might as well have been in the - Box Twine' for ever.—( Hear.) He should not enter into the question of traffic, for it had been stated that there was a suffi cient traffic through the centre of the county, taking the Bud min moors into account, to afford a fair and reasonable profit to the :peculator.—( Cheers.) The High Sheriff put the resolution, and it was carried una nimously. Swats El. TREMAVNE, Esq., proposed the second resolu- Lien. Vi`ftsu he found a line likely to pass which was a com- Olole one - sided ‘ o ...ene—a railway which was of such a nature a, to be de-cribed not -t e a, by its enemies but its friends in terms which would give the Pox , . no confidence—the railway Froposeil-by the Great Western, whiseesees to take them round the sinuosities of the coast, acr oss the Vales,. of Lone and Fowry, throieeh the deep ravine of St. Aust ell, and tlneet e a eue _ I We them on to the flying bridge of Hamoaze ; finding aseee this was the scheme projected, he had thought it necessary to call the attention of the Lord Lieutenant, in a letter which was afterwards made public, in the hopes of inducing him (the Lord Lieutenant) and others to give a substantial evidence of their opinion on this question—and they did do it in the Weise of Lords.—(Cheers.) Now the fashion had been to say. that this railway had been postponed : he said it had been must essentially defeated—( Great cheeering)—and the word postpone.l was a deceptive one. The [lon. G ntlemaa then sketched tie route which in his opinion the line branching from Truro to Falmouth should take, and having gone iatn some de tails en tles point, said the question was, were they to go by riyaneuth or straight to Exeter? He said straight to Exeter, by the moors to Launceston, where there was as fine a line as could be by I latherleigh to Exeter. That was the line which should he adopted. The stream of traffic was ample. After alert log to the great services of the Committee of the House of L ards, he concluded, amid cheers, by proposing a resolution in support of the project which should best carry out the de eared central line. Mr. C. 13. SAWLE, in the absence of Sir J. Sawle, seconded this, and it was carried by acclamation. Captain Harr said that, in the event of war, Falmouth would be the rendezvous of merchantmen. The increased dan ger of the Channel navigation from the war steamers of the enemy would make them land their valuable cargoes at Falmouth, and prebably the most valuable cargoes for exportation would be sent by land to Falmouth, which would become a most im • portant mercantile place. For these reasons he thought the comity ought not to be satisfied without it got the best and speediest line of railway. Joffe CHAPMAN, Esq., Chairman of the Salisbury and Yeovil line. -aid the latter Company originated with men who saw what the west of England required, and saw that the South-Western Company was bound by a most absurd agree ment not to do their duty in the matter.—(Cheers.) This Company was called into existence by the absolute necessity there was for a direct line of communication from London to Exeter.—(Cheers.) They had the same solicitor and the same engineer (Mr. Locke) as the Siauth-Western Company, and many of its members were influential shareholders in that Company. So far with regard to the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Junction Company. Then there was the Yeovil and Exeter Company, which had the most influential noblemen and gentlemen of Dorset and Devon in its directory. But the two Companies, though distinct in locality, were one in object arid unity of design, having the same engineer in both cases. They were two lines before Parliament, but one in unity. They had no solicitor to beat up for names, no engineer to be en ya2cd, no apprehension about means, for all that was done; their capital was subscribed, their deposits paid, and the Lon don and Salisbury line possessed 1,300,0001. of available capi tal ; the Salisbury . and Yeovil had, in like manner, 1,500,0001.; the two Companies, therefore, which through him tendered th e i r co-operation, had 2,Boo,oool.—ample to cover all centin gencie3.--( Cheers.) Mr. Chapman concluded his address by tendering the aid of the Companies he represented towards carrying a line through Cornwall. The CIIISIIOLNI presented himself as one of the Directors of the Exeter and Yeovil Company. Anxious as they were to advance this scheme, they had desired him to say that they would lend the comity of Cornwall all the aid they could to promote what they believed to be an object of national im. portance—( Cheers)—and he would hand in a list of the names which they were desirous of adding to the Committee of the Cornwall and Devon central line of railway.—( Cheers.) Hav ing read the names, he said he thought that by their united efforts, aided by such auxiliaries as they would hear named that day, anil sating on the Garnish motto, " one and all," they could not fail in getting a happy and triumphant result.— ( Cheers.) He concluded amid loud cheering by proposing names for the Provisional Committee. Th e Mayor of Exeter ( ED , A'AB.D WOOLMER, Esq.), fol.. lowed to the same effect. Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE appeared as a shareholder of the South- Weatern Railway Company.—( Great cheering.) He wished he could appear as an authorised delegate, to take up a posiiion which he thought was their oon—a position which he thonght fur the sake 'of the public they ought to occupy. But there was an unfortunate agreement which their Directors, in their infatuation, had entered into with the Great Western Company. But though he had not the authority of the Direc tors, he came to hold out the right hand of fellowship, and he believed he could do so on behalf of the great body of the pro. prietrys—( Great cheering)—who were indignant that their interests should be sacrificed, and he offered them (the Cornish people) help. Sir WA RWICK TONKIN came from the small company of the Dertmo oh and Torbay and Exeter Railway, and tendered their co operation in promoting the great work. Mr. W. A. H. ARUNDEL proposed that the best thanks of the meeting were due to the number of gentlemen who had come forward in aid of the county of Co rnwall, and that their he prospectus be accepted, and that the Provisional Committee immediately formed, fir the purpose of c arr y in g out the central line horn Exeter to Falmouth.—( Cheers. ) .11 UM PII KY WILLYAMS, Esq., seconded this in a brief ad dress, and hoped the meeting would join him in a general de claration of a central line or none.—(Loud cheering. Mr. Tieery, solicitor, then read the report of Mr. Locke and Mr. Neale, the engineers of the proposed line. Mr. \V. C. Rows, barrister, tendered the names of Lord V ivian and Mr. Pendarves for the Provisional Committee. Mr. Edward Archer, of Trelask, added his name to the Pro visional Committee ; and thanks having been given to the Hi g h-Sheriff, the immense assemblage separated. WELSH MIDLAND. , _ 6...

The friends of Sir William Molesworth held a district meeting for St. Saviour's, Southwark, in the Queen's Head Tavern, High-street, on Friday. The lame room was filled to overflowing. At half-past seven o'clock Sir William, accompanied by several members of his Committee, entered the room, and was greeted with enthusiastic cheering. Mr. COOPER having been called to the chair, pro• posed an adjournment to the open air. The persons assembled consequently adjourned to the yard, and Sir WILLIAM addressed them from the bal cony. He said that this was the eighth meeting which he had attended in the borough, and at each he had felt it his duty to state his political principles, and at each, also, he had been received with kindness and applae,e. The real contest in that borough was between Mr. Pit cher and himself, for it was preposterous to speak of the chances of Mr. Miall.—(Cheers.) His (Sir William's) Committee had just informed him that the majority of voters had declared in his favour, and that the sup porters of Mr. Mall were insignificant in the extreme. — (Cheers.) On the last evening Mr. Miall had, however, with a singular want of politeness, stated that this asser tion of his was a mere electioneering trick, and that he (Mr. Miall) was confident of success.—(No, no.) He (Sir William Molesworth) would not retort upon Mr. Miall in his own rude strain, but he had already said that he should abide by the decision of the majority of the elec tors. Mr. Miall rejected this proposal, and why? He feared that the Liberal interest should prevail in the borough. If he (Sir W. Molesworth) could get Mr. Miall out of the field, he should defeat the Tory with ease, and save his own purse.—(A voice in the crowd, "2,0001.," laughter.) And if Mr. Miall would accede to his proposal to test the strength of their supporters, the Liberal interest would be secure, and he would be re turned as their representative.—(Cheers, and "You shall.") Yesterday evening there was a meeting held of the supporters of Mr. Miall, and Mr. Apsley Pellatt, in the chair, said that no conscientious—no honest Dissenter could vote with him (Sir W. Moles worth). Ha was, he was happy to say, supported by many Dissenters, and they would record their support by voting for him.—(Cheers.) But Mr. Apsley Pel latt branded all Dissenters as dishonest, who would not see with his eyes and hear with his ears. He (Sir W. Molesworth) would have that gentleman' to study a little charity, for charity was the very essence of religion.— (Cheers.) His conduct was unbecoming a liberal and enlightened man, and he (Sir W. Molesworth) besought his friends to return those charges with a very different feeling ; he besought them to pardon those unjust accu sations on the Maynooth question, because the party making them had forgotten in his zeal the wrongs and the deep-seated feelings of the Irish people.—(Great cheering.) His political career was already before them, and on every question—whether of home or foreign policy, whether as respected their institutions or their commerce—his votes jkad always been given on the Liberal side.—(Cheer His votes were given among the first in the House of Commons in favour of those principles which had now forced themselves upon the attention even of Sir Robert Peel.—(Cheers.) That consummate Minister had compelled his followers to support his measures, and those measures had sapped the principles of monopoly and of class legislation to their foundations.—(Cheers.) If it were, therefore, the intention of the electors of that borough to support these measures ; if it were their intention to carry out this good fight, then they would vote for him in order to defeat the Tory candidate.—(Cheers.) He had always opposed the corn-laws, and as a necessary consequence he had always voted with his esteemed friend Mr. Vil liers. The Hon. Baronet then proceeded to dilate upon the advantages which would accrue to the country from the abolition of the corn-laws.—(Great cheering.) After some further remarks, Sir W. Molesworth expressed himself ready to answer any questions that might be asked of him. None being mooted by those present, Mr. A. B. CLARKE, in a few words, proposed the first re , olution—" That in the opinion of this meeting it is highly essential that the important and large consti tuency of Southwark should be represented in Parlia ment by a gentleman of high character, Liberal Kin eifles, and local connexion ; and that Sir W. Moles worth, Bart., from his political sentiments, his conduct during the nine years he sat in Parliament, 'and his con nexion with the borough, as owner of considerable pro perty, is in every respect highly qualified, and that this meeting, therefore, most cheerfully pledges itself to use every possible exertion to secure his return to Parlia- ment." Mr. HOWARD seconded the resolution. He was a conscientious Dissenter, but he had yet to learn that he should therefore cease to be a man and a patriot ; he wa, yet to learn that they should be dictated to by an other party ; and coinciding, as he did, in - all the:senti ments expressed by Sir William Molesworth that night, it was deci.ledly his intention to support him. If they divided their strength they gave, in effect, a vote for Mr. Pitcher ; and if they returned the Tory candidate, were they not strengthening the hands of the State church Establishment, and in the same degree weakening the power of the Dissenters of the country ? Mr. Pitcher claimed their votes because of his lengthened residence in the borough ; but he (Mr. Howard) knew an old apple-woman who was a longer resident than he. — (Cheers and laughter.) He would second the resolution svta. the utmost pleasure. The resolution was carried with the greatest enthusiasm, Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting adjourned. There were more than 1,200 persons assembled in the yard of the Queen'g Head. hat cfilicted nothing. The only claim he could I,2vaa ca, on his paevious Parliamentary career, ' . 13 ids ressu:ar support of the odious :Sew ((rit,; " :10, " t 1.11,1 " YtS, yes.") The prize far nafl ssa , :ics ware costa ding was the horough of ;;.,a ' . ita La but he hoped the inde , scudent electors would come toaaatd mud rescue it from batii.—(ilear, hear.) They had is in their power to do so by electing the re maining candidate he hail to introduce to their notice, Mr. Pitcher.—(Cheers.) Mr. Pilcher was a well-knowa man—one of their own townsmen. He was a friend of the paor, an opponent of the New Poor-law, and a sup porter of the Protestant faith.—(Cheers.) The honour able gentleman concluded by introducing Mr. Pilcher. Mr. PILCIIER was received with great cheering on rising to address the meeting. He thought it was hard to he told that out of from 5,000 to 6,000 electors in the borough they had not a man who could represent them, and therefore they must send for a stranger. It was this which had induced him to come forward, for had any other gentleman amongst them, who was better qualified to represent their wants and wishes offered himself, he should not have time so. Ile was known to them all. He carpi: el on business amongst them, and expended large rums of money in the employment of the labouring classes. Ile know their wants and interests as a com mercial chustituency, and if elected would do his best to advance them.—(Cheers.) Docks and a harfs were in conternslation, which would make Southwark equal in shipping accommodation to the city cf London, and these should receive his studious attentian, and interest, and support. He was against the harsh provisions of the New Poor law, and would do his utmost to have them modified, consistent with the dictates of humanity.- -(Hear, hear.) He was a Protestant, and as such a ould defend that faith against the encroachments of Popery. He would have voted against the Maynooth grant had he been in Parliament, and if returned would support any proposition fur its repeal. The other points on which he bad declared himself were fully given in his address, and need not be gone over in detail then. He concluded by expressing himself l‘iiFFlg to answer any question that the electors might tbial: fit to put. Ile etas severally questioned on the era laws, the suff rage, the pension list, and triennial Parliaments. In answer to the first, he said he would alter the corn-laws as far as possible consistent with existing interests, as he was for a cheap loaf. He was willing to extend the suffrage as far as it was expedient so as to include the honest and industrious claims. He would do away with all un merited pensions, and make merit the foundation of a public grant, as in the case of Sir Henry Pottinger. He had not made up his mind on triennial Parliaments, but the subject shhuld have his best consideration, and he would be guided by his constituents in the matter. Dr. MisteaxG, Chairman of the Horselydown Loyal Conservative Association, moved a resolution to the effect that Mr. Pilcher was a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament. Mr. GRISENTHWAITE seconded it, when it was put and carried by acclamation. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, and three cheers for Mr. Pilcher, the meeting separated. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKI?UPTCY, Aug. 30. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONELANQUE.) IN !LE MISSINER.—NOVEL POINTS. An application was made to admit a proof against this estate for a debt and costs, under the following circumstances : —After the action had proceeded nearly to trial the defendant took out a summons to stay proceedings, on payment of debt and costs, and a judge's order to that effect was mnde on the sth of April last. The defendant became bankrupt on the 15th of that month, and the costs were taxed on the 6th of May. Although there was no case in point, it was submitted that the claimant was entitled to prove for the costs. The Learned ComaitssxoNEß, having referred to eases, said that he did not consider this within the statute. The only case in which costs taxed after bankruptcy could be proved for was, where they were taxed under a judgment, decree, or order. lie did not consider that a judge's order like the present was an order contemplated by the statute. nor was it in the nature of a judgment ; it was merely an order to enter up judgment con. ditionally. if the debt and costs were not paid. The prop' could only be admitted as repected the debt. PALACE COURT, WESTMINSTER, Aug. 29. ( Before Mr. W. B. BRENT.) The first applications under the Small Debts Act were heard to-day. Six summonses had been granted for the attendance of debtors against whom judgment had been obtained in this Court. 'three attended, and one did not ; the other two had not been served. No charge had been made in this Court for summonses, in consequence of a defect in the Act. It seems that applications Lave been made in the first instance to debtors, and, in a number of case+, s ettlements have been made without putting the machinery of the new law into operation. stances attending his complair:t. He did so, and was tell lie should hear from the Company on the subject. Some t!,-,.s after he received z communication, and in consequence of it he again called at Nine Elms, when he was informed that the ofliuer at the Walton station had denied the truth of his (AL% L-e's) statement, and that nothing further could be done in the matter. He urged the injutiee that Lad been done to hint thronA the sat, alone, of the Company's own ofilcol, and also the injustice of compelling him to pay eight shillings, the first class fare both ways, when it must have been quite apparent from the tickets which he bad delivered up, that both himself and Mrs. Lee had gone down by a second-class carriage. His representation, however, was to no purpose ; he was again told that nothing more could be done, and that if he wanted to pro ceed farther in the matter, he must go to the Company's so licitors in Bedford-row. Mr. Lee deemed it to be but an act of justice towards himself, as well as one of duty towards the public, to seek redress for the injury, and the object of his pre sent application was to know whether his Worship possessed the power as a magistrate to assist him, and, if not, to request his advice how he was to obtain redress. Mr. Henry—l am much afraid I have no power to inter fere or assist you. However, I will look over the Act, and see whether I have any jurisdiction in the matter. Mr. Henry here looked over various clauses in the volumi nous Act, and after doing so said it was as he had expected, that he had no power to interfere in the matter. Mr. Lee—Does your worship think I can make a debt of it, and summons the officer of the company who demanded and received the additional 2s. Bd. to the Court of Requests? Mr. Henry—l think not. Your only remedy would be by acCon. Mr. Lee—lt's a formidable affair to go to law with such a body as the directors of the company, and so the officers must have thought when they referred me to their solicitor ; but still it's very provoking to have been served as I have been merely through the blunder, if it may be called so, of the company's own servant. Mr. Henry—The present is the first complaint that has been made of the Company or their officers since this Court has been opened, and I must say, from what I have seen of the officers when attending here on business, that they appeared to me to evince every disposition to civility and attention. I think that, under the circumstances, I should give them an opportu nity of answering your complaint, and with this view shall send to the Secretary of the Company to request his attendance, or the attendance of some other competent officer, to give some explanation of the matter at this Court on Monday or Tuesday neat. In the interim I will have an opportunity of looking into the various clauses of the Act of Parliament, and will be better able to say whether, while it afforded every protection to the Company itself against frauds and improprieties of all sort, it also afforded equal protection to the public. Mr. Lee expressed his thanks to the Magistrate for his kind ness and attention, r.nd said he should appear again when required. THE NEGOCIATOR FOR THIEVES CHARGED WITH BIGAMY. Charles Maynard, the estate agent in Howland-street, waa re-examined before Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes,at Guildhall, char g ed with attempting to negotiate the restoration of stolen goods for a reward. Mr. Clarkson, for the prosecution, said he proposed to go into the charge of bigamy against the prisoner. Collard, the superintendent of the Great Western Railway police, produced a certificate of the marriage of Charles Gregory Maynard with Sarah May, on the 23.1 of April, 1822, at Crip plegate Church. John James Daniel, of 50, Aldenham -street, Somers Town, a postman, was called to identify the prisoner as the person who was so married. He said he knew the Maynard who was mar ried there, but it was so long ago that he should not recognise the prisoner but for some corroboratory circumstances. The prisoner's appearance was quite altered. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes asked whose friend he was ? The witness replied he was Maynard's friend. Mr. Clarkson reminded him that he signed the register book as a witnsss, and asked him if he did not know that the prisoner was the same person ?—The witness replied he thought he was, but he was much altered. He met the prisoner once about twelve months ago, and nodded to him, but their intimacy ceased soon after the marriage. Mr. Clarkson asked how long he was acquainted with the prisoner ?—The witness said it was about a year. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes remarked that he seemed to be trifling with the Court when he professed to be uncertain. He warned him to be careful. Mr. Clarkson required the prisoner to remove his spectacles, and telling the witness to make allowance for an advance of 20 years of age, again pressed him to say whether he was positive the prisoner was the person who married Sarah May or not ? The witness at last said he had no doubt he was the person. He saw the wife last Saturday week at the last examination of the prisoner. Mr. Clarkson prayed that the witness should find sureties for his appearance to give evidence upon the trial. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes, after making some inquiries about the witness, consented to take his own recognisance for his appearance ; but recommended him to give his evidence in a very different manner on the next occasion. Miss Harriet Maxtead, the second wife, was ;then examined. She is a respectable-looking young woman, and cried much while she was giving her evidence. Mr. Clarkson promised to spare her feelings as much as he could, and to put as few questions as possible. She stated that she had been acquainted with the prisoner about a year. He represented himself to be a single man, and she consented to marry him. They were married at and hurst Church, in Kent, on the 30th of July last. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes asked if he obtained any money from her ?—She said she gave him what she had freely. He had borrowed a little before their marriage. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes inquired the total amount? —She said she had not kept an account, but it was about 50/. The prisoner declined putting any questions to the witnesses. He was not prepared to meet the charge, because he was not aware the other charges against him would be abandoned. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes asked who had told him the other cases were abandoned?—The prisoner replied, it appeared to be so. Mr. Prance said he did not abandon his case respecting the negotiation for the return of his writing-case and bills of exchange. The prisoner said he should furnish his counsel with circum stances connected with his first marriage, which he had no doubt would bo considered when the matter came before a higher tribunal. That was all he deemed it prudent to say to the charge at present. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes remanded the prisoner on this charge for further evidence of identity. The prisoner's sister, Martha Maynard, whose address is un known, was the second witness, besides the postman, who signed the marriage register. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes then called upon Mr. Clark son to proceed with the other cases. Mr. Clarkson said he was prepared with the additional evi dence of Mr. Clarke, the principal superintendent of the Great Western Railway, in the case of the bills stolen from that rail way ; but with regard to the second charge of alike nature, anl which he had before mentioned, and to which he should not more particularly allude now, he had no instructions to press the case further. Mr. Nash, the clerk to Messrs. Swain, Stevens, and Co., begged to withdraw from being a witness in the first case. He thought there was evidence enough without him. Mr. Prance considered Mr. Nash a material witness. Mr. Nash explained the grounds of his reluctance. Two members of the firm by whom he was employed thought he had exceeded his duty in giving the prisoner into custody, and that no case could be made out against him. As they considered he had acted improperly in making the charge, he begged to withdraw frem the prosecution. Mr. Prance explained, that the desk containing the railway scrip which was to be the subject of the second charge, was stolen from the Birmingham Railway, and the Company ap• peared to be desirous to break up the gang of railway robbers, till it was discovered that two solicitors, who had taken part in obtaining restoratic n of the property, would make an awkward figure in the witness-box A person who had been taken into custody, but not brought before a magistrate, was then libe rated, the charge was stifled, and the result was, that an action had been brought against Mr. Nash, Collard, the officer, and himself (Mr. Prance), for false imprisonment. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes expressed his regret at hear ing such a statement. He considered the first case made out a strong case, and he should certainly commit the prisoner upon trial upon that. Mr. Nash had important evidence to give, and he should at once secure his attention by binding him over in a heavy penalty to appear and give evidence. Mr. Nash, so far from deserving censure for misconduct, had displayed great in telligence and zeal throughout the business. A railway com pany should be the last to sanction any compromise, or check the discovery of the thieves and receivers, and the public con fidence in such companies would be proportionably diminished as their conduct was disgraceful. Whatever Messrs. Swain and Co. might think of the case, the truth remained the same, and he should persist in committing Maynard for the attempt to compromise the felony ; and if Mr. Prance chose to undertake the prosecution of the other case, he should have process to compel the attendance of any and all the witnesses he could name. Mr. Prance felt disposed to accept the Alderman's sugges tion, and said he would consider of the subject before the next examination. He handed up to the Alderman copies of the correspondence that had passed relative to the apprehension and liberation of a person named Wareham, who had not been brought before the Magistrate. The evidence of Mr. Stanley Clarke, identifying the hand. writing of three letters which have already been printed, was then taken, and the prisoner was remanded for further exami nation on the 12th of September. The following is one of the letters contained in the corre spondence handed to the Magistrate : " To Charles Russell, Esq., Chairman of the Great Western Railway Company. " Aug. 25. Morley's Hotel, Trafalgar- square. " Sir—lt perhaps has not escaped your attention that in the month of July last I had, under peculiar circumstances, a writing-ease, containing property to a considerable amount, stolen from me when a passenger on your line, and that an attempt was made by a regular thief's agent to procure a sum of money for the restoration of it, which ultimately led to the apprehension of this agent, who underwent examination at Guildhall. At the last examination a remand was applied for by Mr. Clarkson, the counsel for your Company, on the ground that certain intelligence had been obtained of a robbery in which this agent recovered 1501. for the restoration of a parcel stolen from the premises of the London and Birmingham Rail way, and, under the advice of Mr. Clarkson, Messrs. and ' are summoned to give evidence of their having compro mised this Birmingham case, for the payment to Maynard of 1501. " To my astonishment I have received a letter from your solicitors, that in consequence of Mr. Mills, one of your directors, having, at the instance of Messrs. and interposed to prevent the exposure of Messrs. —, the Birmingham case is not to be proceeded with, and that there fore the present opportunity, of such immense importance to the public at large (of hreakihg up, as there is abundant evidence to prove, of an organised gang of systematic robbery of luggage on railways) is to be utterly lost. Your solicitors have intimated to me that under existing circumstances it will be hardly worth while to proceed against Maynard. " I perhaps may he allowed to mention that since the last remand another person has been apprehended upon satis factory evidence and under the advice of Mr. Clarkson, and whose arrest would necessarily have led to important dis closures. This person ha', since the interposition of Messrs. —, through Mr. Mills, been discharged, and he has brought, I find, an action against me and others for false imprisonment. I leave all these facts to your superior judgment, and should be glad to hear from you on Wednesday morning; but I may perhaps be allowed to suggest that the public will hardly be satisfied to allow the case to be so lightly passed over merely to screen Messrs from the consequences (if any) of their connexion with Maynard. " I have the honour, &c., VAUGHAN PRANCE." The answer to this letter does not appear in the correspond ence, but Mr. Prance received an intimation from the soli citors that they intended to proceed in his case, and one of the partners in the firm would prosecute the charge of bigamy. LLYNIR IRON COMPANY.—The annual meeting of this Company was held at their offices in Moorgate-street, on Friday, the 29th inst., Dr. Bowring, M.P., in the chair. A dividend of 10 per cent. on the capital was declared, arising out of the profits, leaving an undivided rest of 2,4001. The present condition and future prospects of the Company are of the most satisfactory character. CALEDONIAN. The first ordinary meeting of he Shareholders was held on Wednesday, at the Royal Hotel, Edinburgh ; Mr. J. Hope Johnstone, of Annandale, 11. P., in the chair. There was a numerous attendance of Proprietors. The Secretary, Mr. RANKINE, read the Directors' report, after which The report of Mr. Erringten, the engineer, was read, which stated that the works at the Beattock summit had been com menced, and that the contractors were at work. The CHAIRMAN then addressed the Proprietors, congra tulating them on the success of their Parliamentary contest. The opposition which they had met with had been of the most determined character, conducted by powerful and wealthy public bodies, and maintained throughout every stage of the Parliamentary proceedings, and even after, as he really be lieved, the slightest hope of succeeding in throwing out the Caledonian Bill continued to exist in the mind of any reasonable man among their opponents. Upon several occasions proposals of arrangement had been made, but these never came in any official shape, and they invariably were based on the concession of many of those points which formed the distinguishing and mast valuable features in the Caledonian system. Under these circum stances, those who had charge of the Bill had no choice as to the course which they should follow. Every tribunal before whom they came yielded to the force of the reasons which they brought forward. The Government Commissioners, the Board of Trade, the Committee of the House of Commons and that of the Lords in succession, by their decisions, put the impress of their sanction upon the project, and they were enabled, by reference to the concurring testimony of all these impartial bodies, to show that they had not hastily, or without cause, taken up the position for which they had contended. This was not the day of monopoly in any shape, but least of all was it the (lay of railway monopoly, and unquestionably prejects might, and probably would, be brought out, in some] degree inimical to the Caledonian Company, and which it might be their duty to resist. But it was no part of their system to act as aggressors, or to deal with any other parties in a grasping and overbearing spirit. On the contrary, they were most anxious to meet other companies with a sincere desire to accommodate differences, and to adjust matters on fair terms, and with a view to mutual advantage; and here he would say, that he truly believed that if such a feeling influenced more generally the councils of these powerful bodies, it would be for their advantage. Lord BELHAVEN, in moving the adoption of the report, re ferred to the expediency of effecting arrangements with some of the short lines near Glasgow. The expenses had, no doubt, been great, but this was mainly owing to the determined oppo sitionthey had met with in Committee. Baillie ANDERSON seconded the adoption of the report, which was put and carried unanimously, and after some obser vations from Colonel Macdonald, Colonel Graham, Mr. Lock hart, M.P., Dr. Cormack, and others, Donald Lindsay and Henry Brock were appointed auditors, and 1,000 guineas were voted to the Directors for their services. ISLE OF WIGHT. VENTNOR, FRlDAY.—Pursuant to announcement, a meet ing of the owners anal rate-payers of Ventnor and its neigh bourhood, including Shanklin, Bonchurch, St. Lawrence, and Niton, was held at the St. Boniface Hotel, yesterday, for the purpose of expressing the sentiments of the inhabitants on the subject of the contemplated railway. On the motion of Mr. COLE, seconded by Mr. LANKESTER, Sir Raymond Jarvis was called to the chair. The CHAIRNIAN, in opening the business, said, in consent ing to become a provisional director of the proposed line, it was with the expectation that it was likely to benefit the island, as he felt great interest in its prosperity. They should leave e v erything having reference to an illustrious party in the island out - of the question; and if any strong objection were made in that quarter, he thought such an expression would certainly be deemed by them entitled to respect. The pro jectors of the Southampton and Manchester Railway were the promoters of this line. He had heard no good arguments rd duced to show that a railway would prove injurious. It had been said that the place would be overrun, that it would be demoralised, and that a railway would drive away the gentry. Now, instead of railways driving away people, every town was -desirous of getting a railway as near to it as possible. Such objections had been urged when the railway was making at Southampton ; but lie lived in a retired spot in the vicinity, and only one dis turbance had taken place during the time of its formation. The parish in which he lived was decidedly improved by the railway. So far frcm having a demoralising influence on the people, he thought railways promoted civilization, and tended much to tranquillise the country. It hai been said that it wanted nothing to tranquillise Ireland hut railways, and he concurred in that opinion. He thought that in affording in creased facilities for enabling the artisan to see the beauties of nature they were doing that which was calculated to make them better men. And did they not require improvement in the island ? Without making any invidious observations, or reflect ing on any parties, he would ask, are the Ventnor roads in a proper state? Could they travel more than five miles an hour on them ? Why, the fact was, that invalids who came there were quite knocked up in their journey from Ryde or Cowes to Ventnor. Then, in reference to the numbers who would flock to the place, he would ask, why should the artisan be denied the privilege of seeing the country as well as the man who has honour and wealth attached to his name ?—(Cheers. ) It has been said that it was not the people of the island, but strangers, who had projected the railway. Who carried out the Southampton Railway ? Not the people of that place ; they went to London and to Alanchester, and there they found as much money as they wanted. Mr. Chaplain held more shares than all the county of Southampton put together. These gentlemen offered to bring money amor ' r the people of the island ; and was it possible they could have three or I "fte_hundred thousand pounds put in circulation without being benefitew thereby ? He had no doubt of the success of a rail way, and shomahe happy to have as many shares as the com pany would let him 'n..ve. The advantages to be derived from its introduction in the direct communication it would afford with Southampton were very great: they would then be able to go to London and back in the same (la,. It had been said that a railway would destroy the beauties of the sstend, but this was before it was known what route the line would taste.. It was to come west of Cowes, through Newport, and thence to Ventnor, and would not interfere with or do injury to any pro perty. So far from its doing injury to property, a railwey would benefit it. He knew that land through which the Southampton Railway passed, originally not worth 2s. an acre, now let for 20s. They would likewise be able to obtain the necessaries of life with greater facility than they do now, and see 100 persons in the island for every one they :am at present. The company will also employ the population as far as it is possible to do so in the construction of the line. Ships from foreign parts, desirous of landing their bags and forward ing them to London, will, by the facilities the proposed line will afford, save several hours. It only required union and perse verance to get the measure passed through the Legislature. The Honourable Baronet concluded a long address by reading a quo tation from Lord Morpeth's speech at the opening of the York and Scarborough line, on the advantages arising from railways. A resolution in favour of the line, proposed by Mr. HART LEY, and seconded by Mr. W. WESTWOOD, was then carried unanimously. Mr. CuNrELL stated that peo le who were at first opposed to the line now began to regard it favourably. It would save the island Bs. a ton in cools. Mr. LA NKESTER prefaced the next resolution in a speech of some length expreisive of satisfaction at the intimation of the Directors that, they would employ Isle of Wight labour in the construction of the line. The CHAIRMAN stated that letters had been received from Messrs. T. G. Anderson, Mr. A. Bigwood, Mr. G. Cham bets, Dr. Greenhead, Mr. Fidler, and Mr. Goulding, owners of considerable property in VerAnor, declaring their assent to the line. A petitim, on the motion of Mr. T. B. ROBINSON, 'econded by Mr. MITCHELL, was again to be presented to the }Luse by the Members for Hants and the Isle of Wight. Thanks, on the motion of Captain HADFIELD, seconded by Mr. F. JONES, were given to the promoters of the hie. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON. - - ANDOVER., FRlDAY.—Yesterday a meeting of the inha bitants of Andover was held in the Town-hall, pursuant to a requ . sition most numerously and respectably signed, vatting upon the Mayor to convene a meeting, for the purpose of con sidering the advantages likely to arise to the neighbourhood by the projected line from Blanchester to Southampton, which is intended to pass through the valley of Avon, close by the town of Andover. Mr. WA LKINSHAW, one of the deputation, explained the route of the proposed line, and enlarged upon the advantages it was calculated to confer on the south-western parts of England, by connecting them with the manufacturing districts of Man chester and the north. To Andover it would give an easy and ready access for the population to the neighbouring market{, and the several fairs in the vicinity, includir.g the important annual marts of Appleshaw and Weyhill. For some years these places, the depots of agricultural produce, had been in a state of decadence, but it only required the means of more frequent intercourse to prove that that would become the principal point at which western and northern commerce would centre. Mr. Etwa ILL, M.P. for the borough, moved the first sesolu tion in favour of the line, illustrating its commercial and agri cultural advantages in a short address. Mr. ROhERT FOOTNER. seconded the resolution, which was carried by acclamation, as were others, proposed and supported by Messrs. Mortimer, Stebbing, and others. NORTH WALES MINERAL. Acu. 29.—The Proprietors in the North Wales Mindital Railway, held their half-yearly general meeting to day in this city. The chair was taken by William Wardell, Esq. The law clerk (Mr. Kelsall) read the report of the Direc tors, which stated that the extension of the line to Ruabon, and the mineral districts of Brymbo and Minera would render it necessary to lay down double rails throughout the line, for which purpose 90,0001. would be raised by new shares. In consequence of the rapid progress of the works another call of 21. would be made. The Directors had in contemplation the making additional branches into the mineral districts. Mr. Roy had been appointed resident Director at Chester. The receipts from the formation of the Company had been 69,0621 , the expenditure 53,165/. IRISH LINES. DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA. DUBLIN, AUG. 28.—This day the usual half-yearly general meeting of Proprietors was held at the Company's house in Marlborough-street. Mr. George Hoyte, Deputy-chairman of the Company, was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN observed that the Howth branch had been already put into the hands of Mr. Dargin and other competent contractors. It would be at once proceeded with, and opened next spring. Mr. ECKERSLEY then read the report of the Directors. After which Mr. KIDD read the financial report, when Mr. GRESHAM moved that the reports be received and adopted. Mr. NwHoLsoN, of Manchester, in seconding the motion, said in common with the Shareholders resident in Manchester, he had to express disappointment at the small amount of "goods traffic" which the Company possessed, arid he had no doubt but the deficiency in that particular source of prosperity aro.e from the absence of proper facilities. Mr. Bat:mown t.; observed that the Directors were quite aware of the deficiency, and had already taken steps to encou rage " goods traffic" on the line. The report was then adopted. Mr. EVANS, of Manchester, moved the declaration of a dividend of 245. per share; Mr. SCOTT seconded this, and it was carried. Mr. D. KANE moved that 160,000/. should be raised by the issue of 60,000 new quarter shares, which was seconded by Mr. BUCHANAN, barrister, and carried unanimously. Mr. Gaxsidalt moved, and Mr. Moo Nxir seconded, a vote of thanks to Sir John APlsleill, the Company's engineer, which was carried amid applause. Sir JOHN M'NEILL handed in a letter from Mr. Thomas Ord Lees, secretary to the General Post.office, expressive of the entire satisfaction of the Post-office authorities of the general working of the Drogheda Railway. On no occasion had the mails been delayed in their transit to and from Dublin, nor had there been a single accident of any kind; and he (the writer) attributed that happy state of things to the perfect manner in which all the arrangements connected with the line were carried out. Mr- EvA NS moved a resolution to the effect that every man building a house of.the annual value of 3 01 . should have a free cket along the line. MEETING OF MR. MIALL'S FRIENDS. A meeting of the electors and inhabitants of South wark favourable to the claims of Mr. Miall was held on Friday, at Knighton's Assembly-rooms, Black friars-road. Shortly before eight Mr. Miall, attended by Mr. Pellatt, Mr. Day, and Mr. Garrett, entered the room and was received with considerable applause. Mr. A. PELLATT having been called to the chair, said that the remarks of Sir William Molesworth on the pre ceding evening proved he was inconsistent on the ques tion of the voluntary principle as opposed to Church endowment, and, inasmuch as that was a point upon which the electors decidedly and unanimously differed from him, he was unfit to be their representative ; and the result of the election would prove that the majority disavowed him and approved of the sentiments of Mr. Miall, whose triumphant success could no longer be doubted, as there were more than enough unpledged voters to secure his return.—(Cheers.) Mr. Mum., yr ho was again met with loud cheers, but mingled with not a little disapprobation, said that when men found they were weak in argument, they lost their temper, and endeavoured to bully. Those who had first induced the " Liberal " candidate to come forward were now sending men to disturb their meetings. Many cir cumstances of the last few days had given him great encouragement, and perhaps none more so than the Morning Chronicle. That paper was a most ardent, persevering, and talented advocate of the so called " Liberal cause." It had received large wa:es, and so it had worked well, and its services and gratitude to its employers had bean most exemplary. There was no hole of darkness into which it would not creep, no corner of trickery and duplicity into which it would not enter, for the sake of pandering to and serv ing its party. It was no wonder, therefore, that, look ing at Southwark through the medium of Leicester, the proprietors of the Morning Chronicle should feel alarmed, and he could not but congratulate himself that it had now come out with a charge that he was allied with the Tories.—(Bursta of laughter.) He wished to do all honour to the reporters of the press who had attended his meetings. The various speeches he had made had been sketched at once with ability, impartiality, and genuine integrity. Occasionally an inaccuracy had crept in, but that he attributed rather to his own than the reporter's fault. These inaccuracies, however few awl trifling, had been seized on by Sir W. Molesworth with an avidity which did him credit—he made quite merry upon them. Now he (Mr. Miall) would not con descend to such trickeries, but he would repeat the ques tion which last evening he distinctly put, whether, when Sir R. Peel put forward his Irish policy, Sir W. Moles worth would propose the withdrawal of the Maynooth grant, the endowment of the Presbyterian Church in Irelard, and all appropriation of the revenues of the State to ecclesiastical purposes ?—(Cheers.) Sir Wm. Molesv% orth would not do that, he would.—(Cheer-•.) Ile had been also ridiculed by this " Liberal" candi- date with being an " impracticable " man. lie was impracticable so far as that gentleman's party was concerned ; but he was perfectly able to test the spirit of the House of Commons, and it was a prac tical thing to expose the dishonesty of the Whig party. No wonder Sir W. Molesworth disapproved of the vo luntary principle, for he had six livings in his own pre sentation. Let not the Dissenters be duped, if the "Liberal" candidate would only show his true colours, he would be the abhorrence of them all.—(Loud cheers.) As to the question of 1: ssening the hours of labour, he warned them not to trust to Parliaments or Govern ments, but to themselves and their trades-unions. Not withstanding the rage of - the Morning Chronicle, he as sured the meeting he would continue his struggle to the last hour ; and if the electors were only true to their principles, he should be triumphantly returned their member.—(Loud cheers.) In answer to several questions, Mr. MIALL expressed his abhorrence of capital punishment, and of any legisla tive interference respecting the observance of the Sabbath. A vote of confidence in Mr. Miall, and of thanks to the Ch airman, was proposed and carried, and the meet ing separated. MEETING OF MR. FILCHER'S FRIENDS. Last night the friends and supporters of this gentle man held a second meeting, at the Europa Tavern, Ro therbithe, which was rather fully attended. Mr. Shaw occupied the chair on the occasion. The CHAlnmArt introduced Mr. Pitcher to the meet ing in a lencthened address, being principally a contrast of the merits of the three candidates. Mr. Miall, ke said, according to his own showing, had no claim to represent the borough, as being without rank; party connexions, or reputation. He (Mr. Miall) was also the advocate of doctrines of a dangerous character. He was for universal suffrage and vote by ballot. The one, according to his definition, would allow every person in prison to exer cis,e the suffrage previous to a conviction ; and the latter would introduce into the country those corruptions se cret voting had produced in France. He was also against all qualification of a property kind for Members of Parliament, so that persons without character and sub stance might be elected. Sir William Molesworth was the next candidate, whom he (the Chhirman), in the lan guage of Hudibras, would characterise as " A haberdasher in small wares, In politics and state affairs ;" who, wheti in Parliament, had spoke on almost every BRYANT V. BRIDGMAN. The debt in this matter was 141. 2s. 6d., which with the costs amounted to 201. The plaintiff is a coal-merchant at Somerset.wharf, Strand, and the defendant a coal-dealer in 13aldwin's-gardens, Gray's Inn-lane. The defendant detailed a series of misfortunes. He had a bad leg, his wife had fractured her skull, and one of his children had broken a thigh. lie was now much distressed. The plaintiff declared that he had 500/. on his books of debts under 20/ , and could not get any part Of them. He intimated that the defendant had not been steady in his business. It appeared that the defendant's father-in-law held a bill of sale for money borrowed, which was exhibited when an exe cution was levied at the suit of the plaintiff. It was urged that the bill of sale had defeated the creditor, and a as an offence under the new law. The Cott az, however, held that the case had not been proved, and in consequence of the misfortunes of the defendant dismissed the summons. In anther case, a defendant who was summoned for a bread bill of 51. 6s. ld., did not make his appearance, and an applica tion was made for his commitment for a period not exceeding forty days. The defendant had an income, and was in the habit of flitting about from place to place. The Learned JuncE felt some reluctance to make an order of committal. It was the first case under the Act, and he much preferred giving the defendant another oppor tunity. It was contended that the Act was imperative. The de fendant had been personally served, and had the means of payment. The order of imprisonment would not extinguish the debt, and the interests of creditors required that it should be applied. The Learned ti(J DGE, after some discussion, deferred grant ing the warrnnt of commitment. He was aware that there were persons who would not pay without being sent to prison, and it was well that debtors should know that the power would be exerci,ed. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. William Joyce and George Reegan, two little rascals both about nine years of age, were placed at the bar before Mr. Twvford charged with attempting to steal two pieces of timber, about their ow n s i z e, that is to say three feet and a half long, from Thomas William Reed, a cabinent maker engaged upon the w ood work of the new buildings at the corner of Blooms bury-street and Broad-street, Holborn. The prosecutor said that that morning shortly before ten o'clock he was in the temporary counting-house, erected in the building ground at Bloomsbury-street, when he saw the pri immediately ran after th em, but before he could overtake ing the two p ieces of wood towards the fence. He t s h on em ers th c e a y rr ) had thrown the logs over the fence ; two bigger boys were wa ting on the other side to receive the booty, but as soon as they saw him they ran away, leaving the younger as sistants in the lurch. Mr. T.,vvroan told the prisoners he wanted to have the power of whipping them, but he could not have that pleasure under existing circumstances. He was unwilling to send such young children to gaol, but would give the prisoners a short imprisonment by detaining them till five o'clock, assuring them, however, that they would not be let off so easily another time. The prisoners, who seemed horrified at the mere idea of their punishment, sere then taken back to the station, there to be confined un•il the rising of the Court. FoecEitY• —Howard Augustine Style, who stood com mitted upon two charges of forgery, was brought up again this day upon a third charge. It appeared that the prisoner, accompanied by a respectable man named Diamond, called on Mr. Tomlinson, a pawnbro ker, in George-street, Bryanston-square, and requested him to discount a bill of exchange for 3W. 13s 6d., purporting to be the a cceptance of Mr. Withers, the confecioner. It may be recollected also that one of the previous charges against the prisoner was for forging the name of Mr. Gunter, of Berkeley square, confectioner. Mr. Tomlinson knowing Mr. Diamond, had no hesitation in discounting the bill, and it appeals that after he discovered it was a forgery, he was not desirous of prose cuting, but was b ro ught forward by the police. The prisoner was formerly a chemist in Regent-street, and bore a good cha carter. In this case he had actually commenced repaying by instalments the money of which he defrauded Mr. Tomlinson, and a letter was found upon him when he was arrested, stating amongst other thi n gs, that he had. hoped to taken up the bill before it was due.—lic was fully committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. William Brydg es , a waggoner, in the employ of a farmer at Amersham, was charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of his team. Police-constable, No. 1 60 C , stated that between seven and eight o'clock last evening he saw the prisoner, who had charge of a waggon and three horses, in a very drunken state, and quite incapable of manag ing his team. To prevent an acci dent occurring, witness took him to the station house. Mr. Hagnwice_What became of the waggon and horses? Constable —_I lodged them in the green - yard. The defendant will have t o pay Ns. to get them out. Mr. Hawiln addition t o wh i c h let him pay s s. for his drunkenness—it will be a warning to him. The defendant not having the money was locked up. TREATMENT OF RAILWAY PAS SENGERS. On Friday Mr. James Lee, a tradesman residing in Brydges. street, Covent-garde n , applied to Mr. Henry, at Lambeth Police-court, for his advice and assistance under the following circumstances : . _ Mr. Lee stated ____....,.......„ that last Sunday wee k Mrs. Lee and himself went to visit Walton station, for k friend in the ne i g hbour h oo d of W alton , Surrey, and had obtai ne d t w o day tickets at Nine Elms for which ha paid 2 s. B d. each , as second glass fare. On arrivin g at Walton, one of the porters on duty there cut off a part of the ticket in the useal way , leaving them one portion with which to return by in the evening. On coming back to the sak e station in the evening, he (Mr. Lee) looked out for the same man that had cut the tickets in the morning, and requested he would procure them a place in the second-class carriage in the train then about to start. The man said, " Follow me," and Mrs. Lee and himself accordingly followed him the whole length of th e t r a in, whe n he cxclaim:d that all the second-class carriages were full, and returning a short distance along the train, the porter pointed to a first-class e arr i ag e and desired them to get into it, which they did, and the tra i n proceeded towards town. On arriving at the Nine Elm s station an officer came round to re ceive the tickets, and a f e w minutes after he had given up his the officer came back to him and told him that they had travelled by the wrong carr iage, and that they must accompany him to the inspector's offi ce . They complied, and on reaching the office they were surrounded by a number of the Company's servants, and, though he calmly explained the whole of the cir cumstance, they detained them twenty-five minutes, and told him that unless he cho se to pay 2s. Bd. additional fare they should be taken to the stat i on -house. He protested against his improper detention,:as well as the demand f or additional fare, and refused to pay the latte r , c onceiving it to be an imposition , but Mrs. Lee becomingalarmed at the threat of being sent to the station, he, at her entreaties, paid the additional demand, and was allowed to depart, He was told, however, that if he had any complaint to m a ke, it should he received and consi dered of, by the managi n g directors. He called at the sta tion on the following d a y, when he saw Mr. Stavin, the superintendent of the traffic department, and a printed form was placed before him by that gentleman, who re quested him to fill in, in writing, the nature of the circum- MAR KE'T NE WS.-(SAT U RDA 1 .) _ Although the supplies of both Fruit and Vegetables were extremely abundant, the general demand ruled steady, at full prices.—Potatoes, from 2s 4d to 3s CAI per cwt ; Turnips, is to 25; Carrots, 4s to 63 ; Onions, Is to 28 3d ; f.2„nd Greens, Is 6d to 2s per dozen bunches ; Plutm, 2s 6d to 6s ; Broad Beans, is to Is 6d; Peas, 2$ to 2s 6d; Gooseberries, is 9d to 2s 9d; Currants, 3s to ss; French Beans, 2s; Apples, is 6d to 3s; Pears, 2s to 3s 6d; and Spinach, 8d to is per half sieve ; Hothouse Grapes, 3s to 5s ; English Pine-apples, 4s to 7s; and Filberts, 6d to 10d per lb; Cauliflowers, 8d to 3s ; Cabbages, 8d to Is ; and Peaches and Nectarines, 12s to 20s per dozen ; Horse-radish, 2s to 5s per bundle; Wal nuts, for pickling, 8d to is 6d ; and Lemons, 8s to 13s per 100 ; Cucumbers, 2d to 8d; and Melons, is 6d to 4s each; Radishes, 4d per dozen hands; Table Green Gages, is to 2s; Orleans Plums, 2s to 2s 3d ; Small Salad, 2d; and Mushrooms, 8d to is per punnet.

THE WHITECIIAPEL DISTILLERY CASE.—We are informed, that although the cause with respect to this affair has been concluded, and the penalty inflicted on Messrs. Smith on account of the Excise authorities for the imputed irregu larities with which they were charged has been paid, yet the firm are not permitted to transact the smallest amount of business, either in the shape of manufacturing operations, or of the disposal of any portion of their stock, until that part of the establishment appropriated to rectifying purposes has been entirely removed. We do not vouch for the correctness of this statement,-but we have reason to believe that it is per fectly so. It is understood that if the firm think proper to re move the said stock to the premises of another distiller, the Excise will make no objection to its being permitted, at the pleasure of the owners, into the stocks of retail dealers ; but they will net issue permits for any portion of it to be delivered from the Whitechapel premises until the conditions before mentioned shall have been complied with. It is further under stood that the firm object to this, on the ground of the immense expense which would attend its removal, independently of the inconvenience of such a proceeding, and therefore they are ex posed to the enormous expense of sustaining the greater por tion of their extensive establishment until the whole of the rectifying-house shall be entirely removed. BLACKFRIARS PlER.—After the expenditure of a considerable sum of money we are informed that this pier cannot now be opened to the public. It will be in the re collection of oar readers that there is a snit in existence be tween the Crown and the Corporation of London relative to the ownership of the soil and bed of the river. The case was in the Rolls' Court, and the Corporation having demurred to the production of their title, and their demurrer having been overruled, notice was given some time ago of their intention to appeal against the decision of Lord Langdale to the House of Lords. On the notice being given the law officers of the Crown very properly required that until the decision of the House of Lords could be obtained the Corporation should abstain from the exercise of all acts of ownership. This proposition was objected to, and on the 12th inst. this objection was argued before Lord Langdale, and the following is the re sult of his Lordship's decision The Corporation are not to erect or license the erection of any additional pier, jetty, or landing-place, nor to embank or license any embankment, nor drive piles or give permission to drive piles, or exercise any other acts of ownership in or over the banks or bed of the River Thames until after the expiration of a week after pte vious communication with the Commissioners of her Majesty's Woods and Forests, except only for the purpose of repairs or restoration, or to provide for any sudden emergency, in which case immediate notice is to be given to the Commissioners." We understand that at this new pier there is not adequate frontage, that only one boat can approach the pier at the same time, and that applications have been made to admit nearly sixty boats an hour. The decisions of the City authorities for preventing the accidents to which all steamers are liable have been so very tardy, that we trust the Government will adopt some more efficient means to protect the public, and prohibit the opening of this pier. PRIZE MONEY.—The Gazette of Friday night con tains a notice to the officers and company of her Majesty's brig Star, R. J. W. Dunlop, Esq., Commander, that the propor tions arising from the bounty money on the tonnage and a moiety of the sale proceeds of the Brazilian slave brig Maria, captured on the Ist of April, 1844, will be paid to those who were actually onboard at the time of capture, or to their repre sentatives, on the 10th of September next, at No. 3, Clifford's Inn ; and the shares net then claimed will be recalled every Wednesday and Thursday, for three months to come, agreeably to Act of Parliament.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Ladies, whether temporarily exposed to the scorching summer sun, or frequenting the crowded saloon, or close assembly, will find Rowland's Kalydor a most refreshing preparation and auxiliary to comfort, dispelling the cloud of languor and relaxation from the complexion,.and immediately affording the pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity of the skin. The numerous varieties of cutaneous eruptions, sunburn, freckles, tan, and discolorations, are pleas. ingly eradicated by the Kalydor, and the skin rendered delicately clear and soft. Its purifying and refreshingproperties have ob tained its exclusive selection by the Court, and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and those of the Continent of Europ e , toge ther with the whole " elite " of the Aristocracy, and " haute volee." The high reputation it bears, induces unprincipled shop keepers to offer their spurious " Kalydors " for sale, composed of the most deleterious ingredients, containing mineral astrin gents, utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellent action endangering health.

He had lost from the knee joint several pieces of bone, one being two inches in length. He had been under the most eminent of the faculty in Worcester, and at last was told that his leg must be amputated, as a cure was quite impossible! A perfect cure has been effected in this hopeless case by these wonderful medicines. Sold by all chemists and by the proprietor, 244, Strand, London. C OPY of a LETTER fr om WILLI AM COURTNEY, Esq. - - To Mr. MM US PROM', 229, Strand, London. Church Farm, Barton Stacey, near Andover Railway Station, Hants, October 26, 1844. Sir,—l cannot help expressing my astonishment in the effect I have experienced in taking your Pills for the (lout. I was taken on Thurs day night so severely with it as to be with difficulty able to get out of my bed, and after I arose I had severe pains, followed on with in flammation of the foot increasing. I took three of your Pills, and within two hours I found the pain to entirely cease. I afterwards took two Pills at a dose twice in the day, and I am, thank God, this morning able to walk without the slightest inconvenience. I found in a previous very severe attack very great relief; I had the pains in my knees and thighs so very severe at that time, I thought I must have died, and that it must have gone into my stomach. At that time I had resort to your Pills, and they relieved me—within two hours I was quite easy. The use of these Pills ought, really, to be known all over the world. I have a brother, a young man, that suffers horribly with it, and his greatest relief and preventive has been your Pills. Make what use you please of my report.—lours truly and respectfully, WILLIAM COURTNEY. Among the many discoveries that characterise the present age, none have contributed so much to the comfort and ease of the community, nor conferred such a boon upon suffering humanity, as the impor tant discovery of BLAIR'S GOUT AND RHEUMATIC PILLS, he efficacy of which has been tested by the approval and recom mendation of many of the greatest men of our day. They are effec lye for gout and rheumatism, in all its various forms, including clatica, lumbago, pains in the head and face, frequently treated as tooth-ache, &c.
