MEXICAN AND CENTRAL AMERICAN ANTIQUITIES. Some travellers accidentally discovered, in the pro vince of Chiapas, the ruins of a large city, whose monuments attested the existence of a people far ad vanced in civilisation, at a period too remote to fix its epoch in history. Several attempts have been made to explore this interesting country, and already, through individual exertions almost unaided, the most striking facts have been collected, which prove, beyond doubt, that civilisa tion and the arts were known and practised in a country once crowded with human beings and now but a fruitless wilderness in appearance to the common eye. In 1803, Colonel Dupaix headed an expedition dis patched by the Mexican Viceroy, and the designs made by Castaneda were at a later period transported to Paris. These drawings, including the designs of bridges, pyramids, tumuli of various forms, subterranean sculp tures, majestic and extraordinary edifices, idols in porphyry and granite, statues in marble, stone, and stucco. fragments of the zodiac in hieroglyphics, though different from those of Egypt, yet announcing their common origin with them. Curiosity thus excited, resulted in the devotion to the cause of science of the Comte Ange de Saint Priest, who has spent several years in the deserts of Central America, exploring its antiquities ; and who has added largely to the collections of his co-labourers and pre decessors, amongst whom may be named the illustrious Chateaubriand, de Humboldt, and Warden. We understand that a Committee is about to b formed in London, in conjunction with that of Paris, for the purpose of aiding in a more extended exploration of a subject so interesting to science, and so full of curious speculation. M. St. Priest has dedicated to this object the proceeds of the sale of his work, in two large folio volumes, ac companied by an Atlas, comprising 300 magnificent designs. We quote the following from the Jourlal des Debats " A year ago we mentioned a scientific cern mission formed here with the object of preparing for the provinces of Mexico and of Central America, an explor ing expedition which should extend and complete the discoveries, so wonderful already, of the first expedi tion. This transatlantic exploring scheme, which at first was but the yearning of some spirits devoted to sci ence, is now a matter of certain success, after the efforts made during the past year. " Never, it must be acknowledged, has there existed so great a disposition to form such societies for enter prises of this kind. At the present day arehological expeditions are treated and undertaken in a manner very different from the time when Champollion deci p;weeti the hieroglyphics of Longsor and of Medinet .Abon, and when Volney sat in the Temple of the Sun, in the shade of the columns of Palmyra. " Persepolis and Babylona have exhausted neither the ardour nor the enthusiasm of savans and poets. Egypt has been searched in every corner, but much more still remains to be examined in the archaeological world. Be tween Egypt and Persia, on the one side, and Central America on the ether, there are regions at present al most. deserted, formerly peopled and flourishing., where must be found sumptuous palaces, majestic sculptures, everything, in a word, that constitutes the necessary mag nificence of an advanced eivilieation. " What has already been discovered at Palenquce which has been celled the Thebes of America, will give an idea of the vacuum thati , -till to be filled in the his tory of art. It JS this vae:esin which it is the object of the exp.oring commission to fill. It has no other object. It will be carried out by the simultaneous efforts of the French end English savans, according to the plan ex pressed by M. de Chateaubriand in that importer t work the 'Mexican Antiquities.' This transatlantic explora tion, which will excite a lively interest in all enlightened minds, deserves the support necessary for realising all the hope: that are attached to it by spreading some rays of light over the ancient destinies of the American continent."

The Evening Freeman's Journal, contains a detailed report of the repeal demonstrasion in Galway. The following is an abridged account : GeLWAY, AIONDA 1r NIGHT.—When the procession arrived year Galway (says the report) the locality became more favour able for its full display. Before this period only a small portion of it could be seen from any particular spot, but near the en trance to the town an angle in the road revealed to view its vast and magnificent proportions. The scene was one of infinite beauty—the Atlantic in the distance—on the opposite coast Cho mountains of Clare running along towards the sea— while the road, for at least the extent of three miles, pre sented an array of 100,000 men, with innumerable banners of the most gorgeous description fluttering in the breeze. The procession entered Galway through the square about half-past three o'clock; the streets were densely crowded; the houses, to their very roofs, were thronged with spectators. The Galway ladle., from the windows of every domicile, waved their handkerchiefs in welcome, and bouquets of towers were strewed upon the carriage by their fair hands. The peasantry were equally profuse in their expres siolli of homage to the " uncrowned monarch ;" and,while the young gave vent to their feelings in shouts and hurrahs, the old offered up prayers for their Liberator. The procession passed through every part of the ancient town, which, owing to the local Commissioners, now presents an appearance of great improvement. A fleet of fishing smacks was moored near the shore in the vicinity of the Claddagh with streamers floating from their mast heads. As the procession passed the convent, the Liberator was greeted by its pious inmates with silent, but emphatic, marks of reverence and respect. Having traversed the town, the procession returned to the square, where a platform w•is erected for the purposes of the meeting. The chair was taken by Mr. Francis Comyn, an ex-justice of the peace, and a few preparat ry resolutions having been agreed to, Mr. O'CoNaieet came forward, and having made some pre liminary observations on the " majestic spectacle" then before him, of the enormous multitude of men determined to be free, and showing a peysical force sufficient for the overthrow of empires, the Hon. and Learned Gentleman proceeded as follows:—Sir J. Graham and Sir 11. Peel have doelared it is now a dream too wild even for madmen to imagine, that this country can be longer governed under the principles of Protestant ascendancy.—( Cheers.) In the exert►ons the re peaters nave already made they have succeeded ; they have broken down the determination of the present Ministry to con tinue Ireland in a state of degradation and oppreisien.— ( Cheers.) 6ir James Graham, two years ago, said that con cession to Ireland had found its hunts, but he now admits that they have not feint' their limits.—(Cheers.) He now declares that they will do more for Ireland.—(Cheers. ) A Voice—No thanks to him. 4‘ LlBERAroa"—Why, no thanks to him, I say also.— (Cheers.) He said they vvoulit do much for us, but he did not tell us what the ultimate limits would be. If he comes here to me, I will whisper in his ear what the limits are to b•—those limi>s shall be when the Irish Parliament. House is e ore in Ci.!b ge-green.—( Loud cheers.) Some i_ersons eneugh io what good I am cto nit by agi wing repeal ? I have my ausAer—sir James Graham has sui T ited it to rue. --( Cheers.) I employ him as my counsel to answer the i.uesticn. Certainly, before he was counsel at the other side, but, as they sad in Munster, he sold the pass -( Laughter)—and now he is on the opposite side.—( Cheers. ) Wien I am awed, therefore, what has been done by the repeal agitation, I say I have struck down the determi nation of the iiritish Ministry to keep the Irish people in -degradation.—( Cheers.) They now send about a kind of political bellman to ascertain what they shall do for us.— (Cheers.) Yes, seriously and soberly, I appeal to every man of common sense if the agitation for repeal has not produced its effects; whereas three years ago the Ministers resolves! not to do anything for Ireland, now they want to find out any mea sure short of repeal to satisfy the people of Ireland.—( Cheers.) I put it thus to the people of Connaught —I ask them, if the Irish people agreed to give up the struggle for the repeal of the union—( Cries of " Never")—would not the Ministry make any bargain with them ?—(" Never.") I know that they will never give up the rep: al struggle; but I am mistaken ; they will give it up when the Parliament is again in College-green. —( Cheers.) I emphatically and firmly proclaim, without dan ger of being accused of any vapouring or deception, that I have arrived at all but one step of the repeal of the union, and that I have the materials in my hauls by which I carried other measures to carry the last and greatest —(Cheers.) No country on the face of the earth sprung up as Iceland did in commerce and agriculture and wealth, horn the time of the independence of her ow n Parliament in 'ts2, until the baleful measure of union was forcer) upon us. What was done once can be done again. The prosperity that followed the legislative indepen dence of this country m 'B.', will follow the legislative inde pendence of Its 46—( Great cheering )—early in 18-I6 I trust. —(Contitieed cheering.) You ought to live eel- '-16.—( Cries of "So we will.") I want that the people ia this great struggle should be shoulder to shoulder—that they all shall be perfectly agreed. No man should represent you in Parliament --for the boro ug h or t h e county —b u t a th oroug h repea l er . You should select no !man for your local boards but a repealer. —(Cheery.) Every parish shall be ransacked, and every man entitled to register a vote must have it done. We will give you you the machi nery , an d it is for to m ake the experiment in every parish—seeing who can be reg istered, and deter mined not to return any man but a member of Conc . !la' tion-hall.—(Chee rs . ) Si r Valentine Blakeßlake is a nieiolterof ^ilia, on-hail, and he has a righ A t ia t r o ,in _tr iak it your suffrages again. Aly exv•ellent friend M r . e is not yet a member--I wish I could p reva il upon hi but evemr to be so. Nobody slumbers—nobody menaces, that no roan, Whig or Tory, shall represen ty one ee nays, o f Galway at the next election unless he or they p rom i se represent them in Conciliation-hall.—(Cheers.) Let there be in every parish repeal wardens in connexion with the !tepee' Association —let them organise the people—all we ask from any man to procure for him liberty and equality is a shilling a year, a penny a month, a farthing a week, and there are lour swekks fur nothing —( Cheers and laughter.) And if that be get a bargain for happiness ard erty, I know not what a ba ei 'airt is. Oh, you don't know how you delighted me with th ema ,taifestation of this day; it filled my heart with delight, and glan . , 4 ened my soul to hear the countless thou sands re-ecii 9 . " O'Connell and Repeal."—( Cheers. ) How my heart throbs to think that the possession of their ewn land is f-s; the noble people of Ireland—the love liest and fairest land over the facelof the earth—the greenest and meat fertile that the sun evet shone upon—the most beautiful productive of any in the world. Oh I how of `..art have I said that if John Bull could make the boast that Ireland can, and give proof of that boasting, we would never hear an end of his vapouring. I make the boast not on my own authority ; a Scotch philosopher, the successor of Dr. Chalmers, took twelve years in experiments to discover number 1 of the human race, and his testimony is that the first in stature, in weight, and in physical strength was the Irishman—he was forced to admit that.—(Cheers.) I am not deluding you— lam not telling a fancy tale—l am talking of what philo sophers have been forced to admit after having discovered them by philosophic experiments ; and if John Bull could boast of being number 1, we would never hear an end of his vapouring and boasting.—(Hear.) We don't vapour or boast—we feel our superiority, and declare ourselves too good to be slaves.—( Cheers. ) As you go home to-night let my words sink deep in your hearts. lam the apostle of that sect which hold that the greatest advantage to political institu tions, and for the prosperity of the people, can be obtained by peaceable, legal, and sinless means. Be you the propagators of my advice. Tell the people that I want every man to rally with me—l want every man's shilling, and I will tell you why —because there is a heart and hand behind every shilling—l want the hearts and hands of every man. All we have to do is to bide our time. The history of England is not yet over — England will want us sooner or later; she will want the ready hand and willing hearts of Irishmen, and when she wants them ' Ireland is free—she must buy eur hearts by giving us liberty, and that moment the Parliament is in College-green, and Ire land is herself again.—( Great cheering. ) Mr. J. BLAKE, of Vermont, was then called to the chair, when a vote of thanks was passed to the prior chairman, and the vast multitude separated in quiet and order. Amongst the gentlemen on the platform were the follow ing :—The Hon. M. J. French, Castle-Ffrench ; Valentine O'Connor Blake, Esq., Towerhill ; Charles Bianconi, Esq., Mayor of Clonmel ; James Blake, Esq., Vermont • Peirse J.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. WooLwicir, JULY 30.—The Victoria and Albeit royal swain yacht, Captain Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence, G.C.8., has been ordered round from Portsmouth to Woolwich, and her Majesty will embark at the dock yard here for Germany. The royal yacht is expected in the river on Monday next, the 4th of August, as orders have been given to the boats' crews to hold them selves in readiness on that day, to assist in mooring the Victoria and Albert near! .) ,i.posite the place of em barcation. The Grampus, 50-gun ship, is fast approaching com pletion ; the workmen have been employed during the last month from six o'clock in the morning until seven o'clock in the evening, in order to have her ready for sea as early as possible. The Meteor steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander George Butler, arrived at Woolwich from Cork on Mon day, and is ordered to be paid off. She is to be re-com missioned, and have a complement of 33 men. The Fearless steam-vessel, Lieutenant Read in charge, arrived at Woolwich from Portsmouth on Tuesday. Iler officers and crew are to be transferred to the Dasher steam-vessel, the latter being better adapted to the sur veying service than the Fearless. 11; - ; Dee steam troop vessel, Master-Commaneer Driver, has been taken into the inner basin to have her defects made good. and is ordered to be got ready for sea as soon as possible to convey troops to Halifax, Nova Scotia. The Cuckoo steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander A. Parkes, will be ready for sea next week, and will proceed to the coast of Scotland to protect the fisheries. Her principal station will be near Leith. The Sinbad sailed on Saturday for Portsmouth and Devonport. The Monkey steam-vessel, Master William Bryant, left Woolwich on Sunday for Sheerness, Portsmouth, and Devonport. Mr. Frederick Siddall, Paymaster and Purser, is ap pointed Secretary to Commodore Sir Francis A. Collier, C. 8., vice Breaks. Mr. Breaks' salary as Naval Store keeper and Victualling Agent at the Cape of Good Hope is 6001. per annum.

In the Docks.—Grampus, 50 guns, and Phoenix steam-vessel. In the Basin.—Terrible, Alecto, Avon, Dasher, Lizard, Cuckoo, and Wildfire steam-vessels. FLANDERS AND DUTCH PAPERS. BRUSSELS, JULY 28. —lt was stated some days ago by the Journil Courtray, that M. Hocedez had declined the mission which was offered hire to arrange the difference which has arisen between us and France. We learn that this is a mistake, M. Hocedsz has arrived to.day at Brussels from Courtray, with the intention of proceeding to Paris. M. Van de Weyer arrived at Antwerp this morning. The Cologne Gazette publishes a letter from Warsburg, which positively affirms that in the conference of the Deputies of the Zollverein assembled at Carlsruhe, the question of the navigation of the Rhine and of the Maine will be brought forward. Holland and several States belonging to the Zollyerein have sent representa tions on the subject. Bavaria will propose a great reduction, if not the entire abolition of tolls on the Rhine and the Maine. BELGIAN FUNDS.—BaUSSELS, JULY 26. Actual Debt, 2% per Cent ........

WILSON'S ENTERTAINNtENTS.—This very po pular vocalist has commenced his progresses in the provinces, in which he proposes to include Guernsey and Jersey, in the south, and the principality of Wales in another direction. His opening entertainment in Chichester, on Monday, was most auspicious. A very crowded audieince on the eve of " Goodwood" was scarcely to be exp,cted of the Chichester folk ; some were engaged in pre parittg to v!ctimise their lodgers; and others, let us hope, the greater number, to entertain their friends from a distance. Nu. merous, however, the audience was, and of the highest class in rank and intellect. There was a wealth of good looks too, which all England, no, nor all the world, could excel. The fair dames of Sussex mustered in some force, and the heights of Torres Vedras were not more impregnable than the battery of bright eyes, nor the troops that manned the said heights more potent than were the soul-sweet and heart-subduing smiles that greeted the melodious interpreter of Burns and his brother bards of Scotland. We know, for isn't it in Lempriere Y that an accomplished son of Jupiter built the walls of Thebes by the music of his lyre, movie Amphion Lapides canendo, as jolly old Horace sings ; but Wilson has effected an exploit quite as great; for, in the south of Eng land, he has moved, " by concord of sweet sounds," crowds of people, rocks of sense (to make the case a parallel one), who cannot be supposed to have very strong sympathies in common with Scotland, and not one of whom, a stray " Pheesic student," and the Scotch banker excepted, know anything of the vernacular of the north "Oh potent charm of song." Yet it is not song merely that works the wonder. " Wilson is so true to nature," say people of keen discernment and profound sense, who, though they have never seen the peak of Ben-Lomond, or sniffed a salt herring in the Broomielaw, can still recognise nature even when she meets them far away from her native hills. What Moore did for the dear, and now deathless, melodies of Ireland, when he wedded them to Immortal verse, Wilson has done for what were, before his day, the comparatively little known lyrics of idhlys of s o ng, land, And, apropos of tbat, it were ill done to omit making some reference to the manner in which " Tam Glen," Nancy," " Mary Morrison," and other such like gems of song, are illustrated by the graceful instrumentation of Mr. Land. HEREFOUD ELECTION.—On Tuesday the frie n is of Sir it. Price had so far completed their canvass - as to show that it would be madness in any Tory candidate to attempt to oppose him, and accordingly Mr. Fitzgerald, greatly to the chagrin of those who looked forward to all the advantages arising from a contested election, has declined to come forward. REVIEW IN 11YDE PARK.—It is intended, should the weather prove favourable, to have a grand review of all the troops the i o n f th A e u L g u o s ri t d , o i n n t: h is e tr p i r c e t, se i n n ce H , d Par of h e ism Majesty jes o ty n t hSeattzdnagy of next, the Netherlands. . - - We understand that Lord Mahon will succeed Mr. Emerson Tennent as one of the Secretaries to the Board of Control.

They were received at the station by Colonel Jones, commandant of the garrison, a guard of honour from the 43d Regiment, and a royal salute from the Western Heights, and im mediately proceeded to the Ship Hotel. At six o'clock her Royal Highness and the Princess Mary embarked on board the Princess Alice, Commander Smithett, accompanied by Sir John Hamilton, and proceeded for Calais. It is a squally evening, with rain, and they will have a disagreeable passage. His Royal Highness Prince George returned by train to London immediately after the depar.• ture of the Princess Alice for Calais. A guard of honour attended at the embarkation, and a second salute from the heights an nounced the departure of their Royal Highnesses, - RAILWAY COMMIT 'E ES (YESTERDAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP X. SHEFFIELD AND LINCOLNSHIRE MINE. This Committee met today at the usual hour, Viscount Coorte nay in the chair. Mr. Greenwood's evidence, connected with the traffic tables, was resumed, and occupied their consideration some time. At the termination of this, which was but a detailed recapitulation of the evidence given yesterday, the engineering evidence was pro ceeded with. Mr. Fowler examined by Mr. BAINE, Q.C.—ls a civil engineer, connected with the Stockton and Hartlepool, Groat Grimsby and Sheffield, and many others, which he either solely or conjointly with other engineers, planned and constructed. In June last was re quested to survey the country between Sheffield and Gainsborough, for the purpose of selecting a line between these points, and ac cordingly laid out that now before the Committee. The length of this railway to the Grimsby Junction will be 31* miles, the enVre line between Sheffield and Lincoln, 43* miles, and from the points of divergence to Sheffield, 27* miles. There were on the Sheffield and Lincoln line no curves whatever less than half a mile in radius, while there were four on the Bawtry branch less than 30 chains, in eluding one of less than 15 chains. The steepest gradient on the former was l in 120, the amonnt of tunnelling 880 yards, and of embankment above 40 feet in 478 feet; the,stecpest gradient on the latter was 1 in 100, the amount of tunnelling 3,225 yards, and of embankment 1,494 feet. The entire cost of the Sheffield and Lin coln would be 677,0001., that of the Bawtry branch, 694,0001. The witness was partly cross examined by Sergeant WRANGIIAM, but nothing of importance was elicited differing from the evidence In chief, and at four o'clock, the Speaker having been announced at prayers, the Committee adjourned till twelve to.merrow. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS. WEDNESDAY, JULY 30. The Lords' amendments to the following Bills were agreed to : Birmingham and Gloucester Railway (Gloucester Exten sions, Stoke Branch, and Midland Railways Junction ). South Eastern Railway (Widening and Extension of the London and Greenwich Railway) London and South Western Railway (No. 2).

THE LATE COLLISION ON THE LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAY. The following official report from Mr. Creed, the secretary of the London and Birmingham Railway, has been forwarded to MroLaing, the secretary of the Railway Department of the Board of Trade : " To S. Laing, Esq., Railway Department of the Board 01 Trade. " Euston station, July 29, 1845. " Sir,—The Lancashire mail, which is timed to arrive at the Euston station at 32 minutes past 5 a.m., entered the Camden station at 5 a.m., as the first goods' train from London was crossing the down line to proceed on its journey. The conse quence was a collision, which forced the engine, tender, and parcels' van, in front of the mail train, off the rails, injuring some of the waggons and carriages, and causing a fracture in the leg of one of the passengers in a second-class carriage, and several severe cuts on the face and head to another passenger. by the breaking of the glass of the coupe of a first-class carriage in which he was riding, with his face to the engine. It does not appear that any more passengers were injured. " In reporting these occurrences for the information of the Lords of the Privy Council for Trade, I would invite their attention to the following facts : " 1. That the mail train arrived at the Camden station fifteen minutes before its time. "2. That the goods' train, on the other hand, was fifty minutes later than its regular time of departure (owing to the unusual number of trains which were to be conveyed). " 3. That although the policeman at Chalk.farm-bridge had turned on the red signal, when the goods' train began to move, there was so much fog that the driver of a train coming out of the tunnel could not well have seen the signal, and consequently that in not going forward to communicate with the policeman at the south end of the tunnel, according to orders provided for these cases, the policeman at the bridge failed in the per formance of his duty." General Pasley was expected down in the course of yester day. to inspect the spot where the catastrophe occurred. The engine, lugagge van, and first carriages, were completely shat tered to fragments. The blame is conceived to be chiefly at tributable to the trains being " ill-timed." The signal-man at Chalk-farm-bridge has occupied that post, it appears, for the last seven years. _rim LATE COLLISION ON THE SOUTII-EASTERN RAILWAY. EXAMINATION OF THE ENGINE DRIVEL Wednesday afternoon, at two o'clock, Capt. Charlewood, R.N., of the South-Eastern Railway Company, attended the Court-house, Tunbridge, before Mr. Hare, one of the county magistrates, to prosecute Joseph Walker, an engine driver in the employ of the Company,for negligently causing the collision on that line, at the Penshurst station, on Monday night, whereby the lives of nearly 300 persons were endangered. The defendant, who appears to be about 30 years of age, was brought up in custody of the railway police, under whose surveil lance he had been since the night of the accident. The first witness, William Merchant, was then examined.—He said he was a porter at the railway station at Tunbridge. On Monday evening last, on the arrival at that station ofthe half-past six o'cluck up train from Dover, he was asked by the guard whether the back carriage or truck, on which a gentleman's carriage for that station, was unoccupied. He replied that he did not know, and went to ascertain, when he found it was not, and then detached it. Scarcely had he done so, before a gentleman called him to take his portmanteau into the waiting-room, which he did, and returned to the platform. He then heard some one call out to guard Shelley, " Was it all right behind ?" The reply given was, " Yes," and the whistle was immediately sounded and the train :proceeded. Witness, knowing that the signal lights were on the carriage which he detached, ran to the last car riage of the train to see if they had been shifted to their proper places, but found that they had not, and that the train was going on without them. It was de very long train, comprising snore than thirty carriages, and was drawn by two engines in ad vance. The moment he saw that the train was without the signal lights he gave the alarm to the watchman, who held up his red lamp to the engine drivers to stop, but the train being considerably in advance, it was not noticed. Mr. Hare wished to know whether there was an engine at the rear of the train propelling it, as he had heard that such was the case ? The witness replied that most decidedly there was not. The only engines that conveyed the train were in front. In continuation, he said that the head porter of the station, named Goodman, ordered immediately a pilot engine then stand. ing below the station, of which the defendant was the driver, to take the signal-lights and overtake the train. Witness took the message as directed to the defendant, who made answer that he had no coke. Some was directly obtained, and, being placed in the tender, the engine started. By Captain Charlewood—The defendant was perfectly sober, and he observed no recklessness when he left the station. He did not think that more than five minutes elapsed from the period of the departure of the train to that of the pilot engine. The defendant here asked the witness what lights he bid him take with the engine that the train had gone without P—The wit ness replied that he most distinctly informed him that they were the tail lights. The defendant denied it. He was told by the witness that it was the engine light he had to take. The witness, however, persisted in his former statement, and ob served that other witnesses were in attendance, who told the de. fendant that they were tail signal lights. Richard Goodman, the head porter, proved ordering the pilot engine to overtake the train, which had lett without the tail lights. It was not dark, about dusk, the time being forty.nine minutes past eight o'clock. The order was to go as far as Penshurst station to overtake the train. George Smithers, another porter at the Tunbridge station, said directly the traits was gone he was directed by the last wit ness to desire the defendant to proceed after it with the pilot engine, as it had gone without the lights. He was positive he told him they were the tail lights. While the coke was being placed in the tender, he took one of the lamps of the private carriage truck that had been left behind, and placed it on the ten. der. He then got up, and while placing it on one side, in order that it should not be knocked over, another man brought the other lamp, and on taking it from him the engine started. Captain Charlewood asked the witness if the defendant could not have seen by their appearance that they were the taillights T.— The witness considered that he must have seen them, as they were the very large ones, having red glass, very bright, and stood in a conspicuous sp o t i n t h e t en d er . The speed the engine was driven at he thought was about thirty miles an hour. It might have been faster. They left five minutes after the train, and gained the Penshurst station almost at the same moment as the train did. Before, however, and on arriving at the Whitepost tunnel, the defendant sounded the whistle and shut off the steam, and after a short pause, remarked to witness, " The train is not here. I don't see it; we must go on to the station," and then turned the steam on. The station at Penshurst adjoins the Whitepost tunnel, and from the spot at the entrance of it, where the defendant said he could not see the train, to the station, is about 300 yards. A few moments had scarcely transpired before the train was seen, when the defendant shut off the steam and reversed the engine, as well as put on the break; the engine, however, never stopped, and dashed into the train. Mr. Benjamin Cubitt, the locomotive engineer of the South-Eas tern Railway, was next examined at much length. He said that he was in the train in question, and on his stopping at Penshurst, which was about nine o'clock, he was alarmed by receiving a se vere shock, as if the train had been ran into behind. The train, he should say, had scarcely come to a stand-still, and the concussion was very great. He immediately got out, and went to the after part of the train to ascer tain the cause, and was surprised at finding an engine close in amongst the carriages. His first abject was to seek out the driver, whom he found to be the defendant, and asked him how it oc curred that he had run into the train ? His reply was, that he, She defendant, had been sent on to overtake the train, it having gone without the lights. He, Mr. Cubitt, then examined the hind carriage, to see if it had got the signal lights, and perceived that it had none, Mr. Hare, the Chairman—Do you consider it a judicious step on the part of the officers at the Tunbridge station to send a pilot engine to overtake the train in the manner which has been de scribed ? Mr. Cubitt, after a pause—l do not think it was an improper step, but it was quite a new order to our regulations. Mr. Hare—Was it not likely, in dispatching the pilot engine so soon after the train, to incur injury ? Mr. Cubitt—The case is one of that character that I do not recollect of a similar one occurring before. Of course, if caution was not used, there was danger. Mr. Hare—Then what was the risk, supposing tho officers had not sent off the pilot engine ? Mr. Cubitt—No risk at all on the Dover line; but on reaching the junction of the Brighton line at Reigate, where so many trains meet, there was considerable danger. Mr. Hare—Then was it wrong for the officers at Tunbridge to dispatch the pilot engine ? Mr. Cussitt--No, not exactly; but certainly the lights would have been missed at the Penshurst station, arid they would have been replaced. If the guard had done his duty before the train left Tunbridge he would have seen that the lights were properly fixed, for he is expected to examine them and the carriages at all the stations the trains stop at. Mr. Hare said he was glad to hear that the officer at Tun bridge had not acted wrongly in dispatching the engine, for he had done so to prevent mischief. Mr. Cubitt, in continuation of his evidence, stated that the engine driver was bound to obey the order of the officer of the station. Taking all the circumstances that had been adduced Into con. sideration, he was decidedly of opinion that had a proper look-hut been kept by the engine driver,`the train in advance must been seen a much greater distance than had been stated. As re. garded the speed the engine was propelled at, he could not state, but it must have been considerable, as the collision happened within ten minutes after leaving Tunbridge, a distance of about five miles. Certainly the engine -driver ought to have exercised greater judg ment en arriving so near the Penshurst station, so that he could have more promptly stopped the engine. It was but justice to state that the defendant had been about twelve months in the service of the company, during which period he had driven both pilot and passenger trains, and they had always found him a sober, steady driver. Captain Charlewood, in answer to the bench, said that the num ber of persons known to be injured were three; these were Mr. Haines, 131, Cheapside, compound fracture of the leg near the ancle, the mother of a guard, recently killed on the line, dislocation of the right jaw; and a talented painter (a baronet), slight injury to the spine. There were a number of persons of both sexes theirb r u n is a ed me a s, nd ast h otherwise eyh ed gorse injured, tt h but etr he homeshad onbeen the nighttolearn of Mr. Hare then inquired if there was any further evidence on both the acc i dent. the part of the prosecution P Mr. Cubitt replied that there was not. The defendant being called upon for his defence, remarked that h u i n m de a rs b to ou od t t t h h e e ni train a b y e , i on d n e o fi n e e ie o n f t o th f e the wi t t a n ti es t s ig es hts e . ver Hey spo c k l e ea t r e l starting with the pilot engine, that the lights in question were those of the engines, otherwise he should have proceeded with greater caution. He never supposed but what the train had the tail signal. lights, and consequently was on the look out for them. In proof of his statement, he begged to call the fireman who was with him. George Smith, the fireman alluded to, stated that when he started to overtake the train, the conviction on his mind was that they were taking the engine lights, and not the tail lamps, for which they were on a strict look out . The magistrate then retired with Captain Charlewood and the chief clerk of the court, and, after a short consultation, returned, when Mr. Hare observed that, after the whole affair had had his best consideration, he was led to believe that the accident had arisen from mistake respecting the order given to the defendant relative to the lights. He therefore dismissed the case. The defendant was accordingly discharged. At the close of the inquiry Mr. Cubitt complained of the con duct of several of the passengers, and the manner in which he had been attacked in the public prints, asserting almost to the extent that he was the party that had caused the calamity, and even while using every means to alleviate the sufferers, many of the officers were collared and roughly used, while he was similarly treated, and designated a murderer. T _ TATE or nADE.—The demand for yarn both for export and for home consumption continues exceedingly good, w irh very firm prices ; and the shippers appear generally desirous to extend their contracts. In goods there is a fair steady business, but without animation, except in domestics, which are rather higher, in consequence of the advanc e i n t h e description of yarn used in their manufacture.----ROCIILIALIa FLANNEL MARKET, JULY have had a very brisk market ; pieces have been eagerly bought up, at better prices. There is little change in the wool market ; prices are slowly upon the advance.—Manchester Guardian. THE DUKE AND THE PROVERB.—The Italians say " Every medal has its reverse.'' The Iron Duke seems resolved to illustrate the truth of the proverb. Hence, the Waterloo fighters have " the medal," and the Peninsular veterans " the reverse."-- Paw& MONEY AND CITY NEWS. From the circulars of the brokers connected with the wool trade, and from other sources, it may be collected that the trade in colonial wool is in a progressive state. The series of sales commenced on the 3d and ended on the 26th inst., the attendance of buyers having been very numerous throughout. The quantity of colonial wool offered for sale being greater than ever was sold at any one preceding period, might have operated injuriously on prices had the market been in a less healthy condition. To the advance which took place at the late German wool fairs this beneficial result is partly attri buted ; and it is also observed, that the importation is much improved, especially fron► Port Philip. Out of 31,312 bags of colonial wool there were 10,022 Australian, 7,272 Van Die men's Land, 8,673 Port Philip, 1,762 South Australian, and 3,148 Cape of Good Hope ; the quantities from New Zealand and the East Indies being very trifling. The Bankers' Magazine furnishes the returns of the cir culation of private and joint-stock banks in England and Wales for the four weeks ending respectively the 28th of June, the sth, 12th, and 19th inst., and gives the following as the ave rage circulation of these banks for the month ending the 19th inst., viz • Private banks .... Joint-stock banks.. £4,478,744 3,158,779 Average weekly circulation of private notes in England and Wales during the past month £7,637,523 On a comparison of the above with the returns for the month ending the 21st of June last, it shows— An increase in the notes of private banks of £79,63.1 An increase in the notes of joint-stock banks of Total increase last month And as compared with the month ending the 20th of July, 1844, it shows— A decrease in the notes of private banks of ...... £145,435 A decrease in the notes of joint-stock banks of 181,547 Total decrease as compared with the same period of last year On comparing the above returns for the past month with the total " fixed issues" of the several banks, as given in the Bank ing Almanack for the present year, viz.- 199 private banks allowed to issue .... £5,011,097 71 joint-stock banks allowed to issue £8,488,418 It appears that the following is the state of their circula :ion : The private banks are below their fixed issue The joint-stock banks are below their fixed issue Total below the fixed issue The above return may perhaps be considered a criterion of the state of the circulation no less valuable than that which afforded by the weekly returns of the Bank of England. The latter form a correct barometer of the foreign exchanges, but the wants of the country are more truly represented by the re turns of the local banks. The magazine appends a remark worth 'notice " In comparing the results which appear in our monthty summaries of the circulation returns, it is necessary to bear in mind that the fluctuations which may be noticed are, for the most part, regular in their recurrence, and dependent on the wants of our manufactures and agriculture at particular seasons. Thus, we must remember, that in England and Wales the circulation is naturally higher in the spring months than in the autumn—that it is highest about April, and lowest in August ; that in Scotland it is highest in the autumn, or about Novem ber, and lowest in March ; and tbat in Ireland, it is highest about January, and lowest in September. All these changes are regular and certain in their recurrence." LAW INTELLIGLNCE. SHERIFFS' COURT, Julq3l. ( Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BuacxELL.) rm. v. WEBB. . _ . . . The plaintiff in this action was a printer in the New-cut Lambeth ; the defendant was, in April last, treasurer to the Strand Theatre. The action was brought to recover 16/. 13s. 6d., the balance of an account for printing bills, &c. The defendent paid 81. 153. into Court, contending , that was all that was due. He had, however, subsequently taken out a summons for leave to pay in a further sum of 3s. Mr. Cox stated the plaintiff's case. In April last defendant, on behalf of Mr. Hodges, the lessee of the Strand Theatre, wrote to the plaintiff, and asked him to send his list of prices for printing. Plaintiff, however, having had considerable experience in printing for minor theatres, declined t• send to Mr. Webb under that letter, but after having seen Mr. Webb, and learning that he was a respectable tradesman in Great Distaff lane, plaintiff said that he had no objection to give him personally credit for the printing. Work was done at different times to the amount of 251., of which defendant had paid 91. on account. The plaintiff being desirous of making payment to a certain extent secure, offered to hire the saloon, but the sum asked was, in his opiaioo, too high, 10/. being required on the ground that 91. was realised by taking care of the seats, cloaks, &c. When the amount came to about 20/. plaintiff pressed him for his money, and it was proposed for him to takes benefit, but which he declined. The defendant had bound him self in writing, as he struck out the name of Hodges to the letter first sent, and wrote his own. He had since denied his liability, yet had paid 8/. 15s. into Court. Henry Blanchard, clerk to the plaintiff, deposed to an inter view between plaintiff and defendant, and the latter told plaintiff to send to his counting-house every morning, and see whether there were any orders for printing. Plaintiff then asked how he was to be paid, for he had in former days boat a great deal of money by that theatre. Defendant said plaintiff was to make out the bill, and send it to him every Friday, and the amount should be paid on the Saturday when the man called for orders. He proved the printing generally, and receiving verbal and written orders from defendant. Mr. Turner, foreman to plaintiff, confirmed the evidence as to the promise by defendant. Cross-examined by Mr. PEARSON—Mr. Hodges only called twice, but did not see plaintiff or speak of printing. De fendant said, " I want you to print for me for the Strand Theatre." No person in particular was charged in the books, only " Strand Theatre." Mr. PEARSON submitted that by the Act of Parliament it was necessary for every lessee to have his name and address printed on the bills, and having been licensed by the Lord Chamberlain was the os'ensible proprietor, and became primarily liable for all goods delivered, and for all contracts for or on ac count of the theatre. He urged that defendant was merely an as sistant to Mr. Hodges, and therefore that the lessee was the per son liable; the defendant being a paid servant, acted only as the mere agent of Mr. Hodges; but fearing that he might not be able to make out that fact, he had paid the sum of 8/. 15s. in to Court, being all that was due up to the 23d of May, when he gave a distinct notice that he would not be responsible for any more. The Learned Counsel then produced a bill, made out by the plaintiff's clerk, directed " Mr. Webb, for Mr. Hodges,' and contended that there was clear evidence that the plaintiff con sidered the defendant as the mere agent of Mr. Hodges. Mr. C. C. Hodges was Galled,. and deposed that all the printing was done for him, and plaintiff applied to him about a fortnight after the theatre was opened for money, on ac count. All the accounts for printing were sent to the theatre. When plaintiff asked for the money, witness told him he should have some next week. Plaintiff agreed, when the account amounted to about 20/. Witness, finding the affairs of the theatre going badly, he offered the plaintiff a benefit. On the 24th of May, plaintiff and defendant were together, and defendant said it was very unbutiness like to hold him liable, but if Mr. Peel considered he was liable, he would pay the amount up to that time, but would not be liable any further—the amount was mentioned, it was some thing about 101. Cross-examined —Cannot say the day when I proposed the benefit. There was a proof of a bill sent after that, and plain tiff was urging for money. Defendant sent the proof to Fare brother, another printer. Plaintiff said, Mr. Webb and no one else had employed him, but did not say he would not print for any one else for the theatre. We had bills alter that con versation sent. The theatre closed on the 24th of June. Re-examined —There was a payment made of 4/. at the time of the conversation. The performances were after the interview, and the bills dated the sth of June. They were generally printed on the Friday or Saturday for the following week. Paid some money, on account, on the 4th of June, after the conversation. Mr. E. Smith confirmed the conversation, and fixed it to have been on the 24th of May. Mr. Cox replied, and the TINDER-SHERIFF said it was a mere question whether defendant had made himself personally liable.— Verdict for the full amount. SIETHAINI V. dIERRILL..—A RAILWAY TESTIMONIAL. This was an action brought to recover the sum of nineteen guineas for services on a committee for the purpose of getting up a testimonial to the late Mr. James, the projector of the Manchester and Birmingham Railway. The defendant is a general agent in Clement's-lane, City. Mr. R Y LAND stated the case. The plaintiff was employed in March last to act upon a committee for the above purpose. The defendant took a very active part, in fact inight be looked upon as the projector of the specu lation. Offices were opened at No. 55, King William-street, City, and the committee included Mr. Stephenson, Mr. Locke, and many other eminent civil engineers, and Sir John Pirie had gone down to Manchester to act as honorary secretary. From some cause or other, however, the subscriptions were not raised, and the project was abandoned, and the plaintiff was left to seek his recompense at law, the defendant denying his liability. He would observe that there had been no appoint ment by the committee, but that the plaintiff was engaged by defendant, who gave him the requisite directions. Evidence was adduced to show that the plaintiff had been employed in directing letters, &c. Mr. LOCKE, in'reply, contended that the plaintiff had never been engaged on the personal liability of the defendant, but that it was a mere speculation, and if the money had been raised, then all the parties would have been paid; as it was, only t ~.~~ 21. Is. had been subscribed, for several of the committee re signed in consequence of some dispute, which it would be shown arose from the plaintiff making an alteration in the circular. Several witnesses were called to prove these facts. The col lector said he was to be paid ten r er cent. for the subscriptions collected, and he should have looked to the committee for pay ment, not the defendant. It was also proved that the 21. Is. collected had been paid away for postage stamps. Mr. Talbot - ;vas calred and stated that it was in contemplation that he should become Secretary, and he should have looked to the committee then. Defendant never held himself out as being responsible, but on the contrary treated it as a specula tion, and said he entertained hopes of realising 1,000/. 'for his own share. The Learned JUDGE summed up, and said that it was en tirely a question for the jury on the evidence, whether there had been any engagement by the defendant personally. The evidence was very strong on the other side, that every one looked for payment from the proceeds of the project, which, for some reason or other, had become a failure. The jury gave a verdict for the defendant. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—Durham, July 29. CROWN SIDE.—( Before Mr. Baron ROLFE. ) CHARGE OF M URDER. —Louis Henry GouM, aged thirty five, was this morning put to the bar to be tried upon the charge of having murdered Emma Gould, his wife. The case has caused great excitement in Durham on account of the esteem in which the prisoner has been held by many people in the neighbourhood, and the remarkable circumstances at tending the alleged crime, it having, as appeared in the evi dence, been induced by suspicions entertained by the husband of his wife's infidelity. The prisoner held, up to the time of his imprisonment, a high situation in the county police, being chief superintendent of that body, over which Major Wemyss is chief constable. Mr. Matthews and Mr. Warren conducted the case for the prosecution; and Mr. Wilkins defended the prisoner. Mr. MATTHEWS, in stating the case to the jury, detailed to them the leading facts, the particulars of which appear in the following evidence:— Mary Jane Giles, examined by Mr. WARREN—IS sister- in law of the prisoner's late wife. Had lived for five or six months with the prisoner and his wife as servant. Was present when the prisoner's wife died, which was on Monday the 16th of June. On the Tuesday before (the 10th of June) witness was present, along with prisoner and his wife. It was about seven o'clock. Prisoner said he could not eat his supper, which was some cold beef. Witness asked him if he would have a little ham and an egg. Mrs. Gould said, " Do, dear ;" to which the prisoner answered to both, " How kind you are." He sat a few minutes, and then got up and went out of the house at about half-past seven. He returned again about nine. As he came back, witness and deceased sat at the window sewing, when prisoner passed. He appeared to be in a pet with his wife, and grinned at her. Prisoner was superintendent of the county police. On returning, he came into the room where witness and the deceased were sewing. He seemed flurried, but sat down, and then appeared more cool. Deceased was sitting in such a position as to see everybody that might come up the street. Prisoner then sat opposite to the deceased. . Prisoner then said to witness, " Jane, do you think Emma (meaning deceased) innocent ?" Witness replied, " I do." He said, " Will you take your oath of that ?" She said she would. Deceased said, " Henry, do you doubt my virtue? You wound my pride." She arose thee, and there were at that moment two gentlemen coming up the other side of the street. Deceased said, " There is 111 r Scruten and Mr. Jephson ; I will call them in, and have this cleared up." Prisoner had often named Mr. Scruten both to witness and to deceased. Ile had more than once told both that deceased and Mr. Scruten were too familiar. He had said so about two months be fore for the first time. It had frequently been mentioned during that two months. Deceased proposed to call Mr. Scruten in, and she was quite calm at the time. Witness said to her, " Do, Emma, if he's a gentleman, he will speak the truth;" and witness added that if she did not, she (witness) would call on Mr. Scruten about it. Deceased then made to wards the door. Prisoner stood before her, and said, " Don't." She answered, " I will." He again said " Don't," and de ceased replied, "I will, Henry, you know I am firm." De ceased went to the door, which was ajar, and went into the pas sage, and towards the street-door. He did net hold her, but followed her close: He put his right hand behind him, pulled a pistol out of his pocket, and said, " If you will, take that then," and fired it at her. She held up her arm, exclaiming, "Oh Gnd, Henry." She was hit, and said, "Oh God, I'm shot." She opened the street-door, and ran across the street. Prisoner followed her as quick as he could, pulled out another pistol, took an aim, and fired it at her. He appeared to fire it directly at his wife. Deceased was not struck by that, and ran into a passage on the opposite side of the street. The pri soner immediately ran up the street, towards Mr. Jephson and Mr. Scruten : who were at a short distance. Witness saw prisoner fall, with one of these gentlemen. Can't tell which of them. They appeared to be struggling together. Followed deceased, and found her in the kitchen of a Mrs. Bur linson, who lives opposite. She went up stairs, and her arm was bleeding very much, then returned to her own house, where she desired to be attended by Mr. Green, the surgeon. He not being in the way, she was attended by Mr. Jephson. Witness knows that prisoner and deceased were on unhappy terms. It was occasioned by his being jealous of her. The day before he shot at her, she was making some calico drawers, and she said to witness, " Put these away, Jane." The prisoner was present, and said, " I've as many now as ever I shall live to want." Somebody had mentioned that a raven had beer. seen near. Both prisoner and his wife said they had seen it, and deceased remarked that jt was a bad omen. Prisoner had been taken ill at about two o'clocit on the morning of the 10th. Decased called witness up in consequence. He seemed like a man in a fit. Witness went for Mr. Stoker, Mr. Green's as sistant, and prisoner had some wine, and he got better. Never saw him in that way before. He lay still and turned his eyes up. At about three on the same morning, while deceased and prisoner were both in bed, he said to her, " Emma, con fess—confess all you know." She said she had nothing to confess. He said, " I've a dagger is my heart, either take it out or push it further in." He said, " I've been a.villain toyou ; what would your dead father and mother say if they were to know that I had driven you to do wrong?" She said, " I have not done wrong, Henry. I have neither disgraced myself nor my family." They were talking a long while in the same strain. She appeared agitated at his not allowing her to sleep, and said if he would not allow her to sleep she would go to another bed. At breakfast he appeared very much better, and in his usual spirits. He went out shopping with his wife afterwards. In the evening, between five and six, they talked of going to walk on " the Slopes," which are the walks on the. side of the river. They all went walking there, witness, with her little boy, having gone there before, and waited for them. Prisoner was then in good spirits. All that witness noticed particular about him was that, as they were returning, he stopped back, and looked about the banks of the river as if looking for some one. Cross-examined by Mr. WILKINS—On the Monday after noon, the 9th, the prisoner complained of being ill ; several times begged his wife not to leave him, as he could not bear his own thoughts. He several times expressed a strong affection for her. His wife several times said, " Henry, you act in a very curious manner, I cannot think you are in your senses." Within the last fortnight he had often complained of his head, and said, feeling his head, " I have it here." The wife hail advised him to be bled, but he said he wanted blood. He danced about the kitchen, on the Monday, in a wild manner, and presented a pint pot at witness, and threatened to shoot her with it. Believes that witness's husband and prisoner are interested jointly in some property, and that if the prisoner were removed something might come to her husband. Witness has not been applying for that property. Edward Come Jephson, examined by Mr. Mars oews—ls a surgeon. Was with Mr. Scruten on the 10th of June. Had been with him to the race course, and returned with him, and they passed the prisoner's house about nine o'clock in the even ing. They had got about fifty yards beyond the house when witness heard a shot and a scream. He stopped, and then turned back, and immediately saw a woman, unknown to him in appearance, rush out of the house. The prisoner followed, and fired at her. The prisoner then stopped, and rushed, as witness imagined, upon him (witness) and Mr. Scruten. Wit ness made his escape in the best way he could, for the man ap peared to be mad, and witness expected to be shot. After run ning a short distance witness looked over his shoulder, a n d finding he was not pursuing him, stopped, and then saw him seize Mr. Scruten and throw him on the ground. Prisoner then got on Mr. Scruten, anti sat astride of him, and attacked him with the muzzle of the pistol. Witness then seized hold of the prisoner, and assisted Mr. Scruten to make his escape, and then witness made his own escape. Prisoner followed Mr. Scruten through a crowd, and was immediate,y secured. Went after that to see who might be hurt, and was directed to a house opposite prisoner's. Helped deceased across the street home. Then examined her, and found she was wounded in the left arm. There was a circular wound, with ragged edges, and deep, and the bone was fractured extensively. Could find no shot in it. Ordered the wound to be wrapped in a wet cloth and to be kept wet and cold. Then left, and returned in about an hour, and found Mr. Green, another surgeon, there. The wound was on the fore-arm, between the wrist and elbow. Witness picked up a pistol in the passage of the prisoner's house.—[Produced it from his pocket; a small pocket pistol.] The pistol was unloaded and the cock was down, with a dis charged nap under it. Cross-examined by Mr. Winews—Had not the slightest knowledge of deceased, and knew prisoner only slightly. Con siders the lock jaw, or tetanus, to have been the result of the wound. Has no idea of its being caused by improper treat ment. He wrote a note to Mrs. Gould to ask it she desired his further attendance, because he felt he was rather unceri moniously deprived of the patient, and he thought it better to write thaw to run the risk of flurrying her by going to speak with her about it. Mr. Stoker, examined by Mr. Marsortrie—ls assistant to Mr. Green, the surgeon. Attended Mrs. Gouli, and was pre sent at a poet mortarn examination of deceased. Her death was occasioned by tetanus, arising from the wound. There was a bullet extracted from the wound. Did not see some violets in an envelope at Mrs. Gould's. Heard her say she had received some from Mr. Scruten. William Green, examined by Mr. WARREN—Has been thirty-three years a practising surgeon in Durham, and has been the medical attendant of prisoner and his wife. She was about thirty years of age. Was sent for to her, and went on the 10th of June, at about half-past ten at night. Found the wound wrapped up, and a pistol bullet might have produced t. Visited her up to the time of her death. She went nn satisfactorily, but was in a very nervous and excited state. On the next Saturday she complained of having caught a cold, and of a stiffness about her jaws, from which witness appre hended tetanus. The next morning, at about ten, found her in a decided state of tetanus, which, in the case of wounds, is generally fatal. Cross-examined by Mr. WATKINS— Has been the regular attendant of deceased. Recollects the wound received by pri soner during the pitmen's strike—a wound on the head, inflicted by a frightful weapon, a bar of iron. After that had observed a difference in the prisoner's manner. He has been in a very excited state, and has had a wildness in his eyes. A concussion of the brain induces great irascibility, and sometimes causes the person hurt to lose all self-control. Thomas Metcalf, examined by Mr. MATTHEWS —Witness is a butcher, and lives near the prisoner's house. On the even leg of the 10th, he and Sewell, the husband of a former wit ness, took the prisoner in the street, just after the shooting. They took him away to the gaol ; and witness was shortly after called to return, as it was said that the prisoner had cut his throat. Witness saw the pocket-book. They found him bleeding from the left side of the throat. Prisoner said there was something in the pocket-book which would show what he had done it tor. Robert Booth, examined by Mr. WARREN—IS a gunsmith in Durham. Recollects prisoner coming; on a Tuesday in June, about a pair of pistols. He came into the shop about six o'clock in the evening. He said on that evening that be had had notice to be out that night—that he had had notice of some smugglers, and that they were not good characters to meet with. He asked witness to load them for him, which was ac cordingly done, And the prisoner received them so loaded. He was not at all excited, but quite cool. There was a bullet put in each pistol, as well as powder, and they were capped. On cross-examination, Mr. Booth gave the prisoner a very good character in every respect. Several other witnesses having been examined for the prose cution to confirm the evidence already given, I\lr. WILKINS a dd resse d t h e j ury for the pr i soner, which he did in a speech of about an hour and a quarter in duration. The jury retired for about half-an-hour, and on their return pronounced a verdict of Not Guilty, finding that the prisoner was not of sound mind at the time he did the act. This verdict was received with applause from a very crowded Court. The prisoner immediately extended his hand to his counsel, and to other gentlemen of his acquaintance aroursl, ail of whom shook hands with him in congratulation on the termination of the trial, which lasted from nine in the morn ing till near seven in the evening. Lord Sandys, Commander of the Scotch Greys, in which regiment the prisoner formerly was ; Major Wemyss, chief constable of the county police ; Colonel Stephenson, and Rah.h T. Pemberton, Esq., a magistrate, were all called to speak to the prisoner's character, and testified to his having been of most respectable demeanour, and of a high reputa'ion for hu manity and goodness of disposition. WESTERN CI Rel 7 IT.—Bodarin, July 29. The Commission for holding the assizes for the county of Cornwall was opened here on Saturday evening by Mr. Justice Erle, but Mr. Baron Platt did not arrive till Sunday evening, he having been detained at Exeter by the trial of the pirates. The business, as regards criminals, is rather heavier than usual. There are charges of murder, arson, and sacrilege, and there are twenty prisoners for trial. The cause list for this county is very light, there being only five causes entered, and not one to be tried by a special jury. On Su. day morning, Mr. Justice Erie attended Di•ine service in the church, and on Monday morning the business commenced—Mr. Justice Erle presiding in the Crown Court, and Mr. Baron Platt sitting at Nisi Prins. The cases tried to-day have been of a most trifling descrip tion, the only one at all to be noticed is that of John Pascoe, who was indicted for assaulting, cutting, and beating John Cock, with intent to disable him, or to do him some grievous bodily harm. It appeared that on the night of the 12th of July, Pert, Cock, and Edwards, who were gamekeeperr in the service of Lady 11‘ssett, were out on the watch for poachers. About three o'clock in the morning they heard two guns fired; they then separated, and went in two different parties in the direction of the spot whence the reports had proceeded. On their arrival at a place called Dry-grounds, adjoining her ladyship's park, they saw the prisoner and a man named Trefoun with guns. As soon as the poachers saw them they walked towards the keepers pointing their guns at them. On coming up to them, finding the keepers did not give way they began beating them with their guns, and broke one of them upon the breast of one of the men. Trefoun picked up Pascoe's gun, which he had dropped, and fired at the keepers but missed them. Pert then fired his gun at Trefoun's legs, but the shot took effect much higher, arid he was seriously injured. A dead rabbit was found in the prisoner's pocket. For the defence it was urged that the men were out shooting rabbits on the sea shore, and they did not know that the other men were game-keepers. The Learned Judge having summed up, The jury acquitted the prisoner of the felony, bid. found him Guilty of a common assault, and he was sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment with hard labour. OXFORD ClRCUlT.—Shrewsbury, .July 29. CROWN COURT.--( Before Lord DENMAN.) The following case occupied the Court for many hours yes terday evening, and excited considerable interest. Cornelius Evans, aged 26, and Richard Purcell, aged 21, young men of decent exterior and deportment, and up to this occasion bearing excellent characters, were placed in the dock, charged with having, on the 23d of June last, feloniously made an assault upon one Ellen Gough, and stolen from her person a pocket of small value, and with having at the time of such robbery inflicted blows upon the said Ellen Gough. The prosecutrix, with some effort, informed the jury that she was in the e,nploy of a firm of dressmakers in Shrews bury, that her hours in the shop were from eight o'clock in the morning till nine o'clock in the evening. That for some time past she had suffered much from ill health; that the medical gentleman who attended her had stated, that it was absolutely necessary she should take exercise in the open air; that this she had been in the habit of doing every evening, after work, for some weeks past, her companion and guardian upon those occasions being her mother. Upon the day in question, however, it happened, from some unexplained reason, that on her return home her mother was absent. She left her father sitting in the house and proceeded for her walk alone. When just outside the old walls she observed two men, one in a smockfrock, the other dressed in black. One of them appeared intoxicated, and tot tered towards the side of the footpath. Feeling alarmed she turned back in the direction of the town ; the two men fol , lowed. These men were the prisoners. One of them (Pur cell) she had known by sight before ; Evans she had never seen to her knowledge before that day. Purcell caught hold of her by the shoulder, saying, "We want some money." The prosecutrix answered, " Indeed, but I have none for you." Upon which the same prisoner remarked, " Oh, d— you, we will see." The other prisoner (Evans) then seized hold of her pocket and tore it from her side. Purcell, too, searched, it but found nothing. The prosecutrix gave an alarm. Purcell said to his companion, " D— her, let us kill her ;" to which the other answered, " No; she will not know us if s h e sees us again." Then Pur ce ll began to take indecent liberties with her person, and upon resisting struck her a severe blow with his fist upon the left side of the forehead, which felled her, without sense or motion, to the earth. Atter a lapse of time, she could not say how long, she found here f alone, cold and stiff, lying upon the path, the torn pocket by her side. She crept. to her father's house, relieved the anxiety of her parents by her arrival, and then related to them the cruel usage she had received, described the person. and dresses of the assailants, and on the day following she observed the prisoner Purcell, at six o'clock in the morning, in New 'street, nearly opposite her father's door. The other prisoner (Evans) she sebsequently identified. A great number of witnesses were called to show the pre secutrix was mistaken in the identity of the prisoners, and several respectable people gave them both a good character. Lord DENMAN summed up, and the jury, after a long con sultation, aequitt ed the prisoners. _ His Lordship then disposed of twn other trifling cases, which finished the criminal business at about a quarter past nine. Mr. Justice PATTESON had previously retired from the Nisi Prius Court. having brought the civil business to a close at half-past seven. The Commission will be opened this evening at Hereford. NORFOLK CIRCUIT ---Ipswich, July 29. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) Frederick Holmes, aged 21, and William Wright, aged 29, were charged with having burglariou3ly entered the dwelling house of Joseph Gibbs, at Bilderton, and stolen therein a quantity of sugar, tobacco, and currants. Mr. Prendergast appeared for the prosecutor, and Mr. Power defended Holmes. The prosecutor is a grocer, carrying on a large business at ' Bilderton, about six miles from Hadleigh, where both the prisoners live. For some time past Mr. Gibbs' premises have been robbed to a considerable extent, and yet no clue has been gained to the thief, whoever he might be ; while the ser. vents and family of the prosecutor were each and all beyond suspicion, he was utterly unable to divine how access was gained to his property, as his premises never presented any marks of violence. Being bent on doing his best to clear up the mystery, Mr. Gibbs on each night made particular note of his shop and its contents, and at last, on the morning of the 20th of April, he was aroused at six o'clock by two policemen, who asked whether his house had been robbed in the night. On getting up he found that a quantity of sugar, currants, and tobacco had been removed in the night time, but he was for some time utterly at a loss to divine how the burglars had effected an entrance to his house, till a searching examination having been made on the premises, it was ascertained that the back house door might very easily be opened by the introduction of a bent wire through a hole which happened to lie most conveniently under a wooden bar, its only safeguard. By turning thein strument round, any one from the outside could lift up the bar from its socket, and on retreating from the house with his plunder, he could as easily replace the bar, and so cut off all traces of his proceedings. In order to connect the two pri soners at the bar with the commission of this offence it ap peared, on the testimony of a policeman and a constable be longing to Hadleigh, that as they were on the look out on Hadleigh-heath on ,the night in question, they saw th e two prisoners cross it at one o'clock in a cart, and go four miles along the road to Bilderton, after which they lost sight of them. Towards three o'clock, however, they saw the same cart and men returning, and deeming that the time for their intervention had arrived, they ordered the driver Holmes to pull up and let them see what he had got in the cart. As he refused to comply with this request, the constable laid hold of the horse's head, while his companion proceeded to examine his cart. This, as might have been expected, led to a skirmish, which resulted in the escape of Holmes, while the other prisoner and the cart, with its contents, fell into the hands of the assail ants, who, finding among the latter a sack of sugar, and several pounds weight of currants and tobacco, drove on to Bilderton, and alighted on the true owner before he was aware of his loss. Both the prisoners, having been found Guilty, were trans ported for ten years. ARSON.—Edward Albon, aged 25, was charged with setting fire to a barn in the occupation of John Snell, at Lawshall, on the 28th November, 1842. Mr. Gunning conducted the case for the prosecution ; Mr. Prendergast defended the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence of Mr. Snell, that his barn had undoubtedly been maliciously fired on the day in question, and the evi lence mainly relied on for the purpose of affixing its guilt on the prisoner arose from the testimony of one Lad broke and others, to whom he was alleged to have made certain statements admitting of but that interpretation. According to Ladbroke it seemed that he and the prisoner, who had been charged in 1840 with some offence by Mr. Snell's son, a farmer, living nearly fourteen miles from Lawshall, were passing the barn of the prosecutor, when the latter observed, with a great oath, that "he owed Mr. Snell a kindness, for his son had sent him to prison, and he would pay him off." Not lone after this conversation they parted, and the fire having broken out at half-past four o'clock, the prisoner was seen by two women walking fast away from it towards his cottage, and past an orchard. In the evening Ladbroke again fell in with the pri soner, and remarked upon the fire, wondering who did it, on which the prisoner, with great vehemence, said, " you, didn't I tell you I would do for the old ---, After the fire, the only thing I was afraid of was, lest I might be seen going away before I reached the orchard." On the day after the fire an inquiry was made, and all the witnesses now examined being interrogated, gave the same evidence, which they now did, except Ladbroke, who then omitted entirely the conversa tion after the fire, a course which he now attempted to justify by repeating several threats of violence made to him at that in vestigation, in the event of his telling all the truth. At the time the prisoner was not taken up, but the additional declare. tions coming to light, he was recently apprehended, and corn. twitted to take his trial. Mr. PRENDERGAST having addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner, The jury, at the close of the summing up, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. CL ERKEN WELL. SEDUCTION AND VIOLENT CONDUCT OF TITS SEDUCER. —Wednesday Thomas Frederick Boughton, aged about thirty. eight years, of respectable appearance, who w as d escr ib e d i n the police-sheet as a law stationer, residing at No. 9, Tooke's court, Cursitor-street, Chancery-lane, was charged by Joseph Clarke, an elderly man, who described himself as a general dealer, residing at No. 22, Rose -street, St. Luke's with having been drunk and creating a disturbance round his house, and with making use of threatening language, by which he went in bodily fear. The prosecutor said that the prisoner had become acquainted with his daughter, whom he had seduced, and they had been li;ing together. Witness made inquiry to trace and recover her without success until her mother met her, on which she clung to her, and accompanied her home. On Tuesday after.. noon the prisoner came to his (prosecutor's) house in a state of intoxication, smoking his cigar, and, parading backwards and forwards, swore most vehemently that he would have his wife. He subsequently came at intervals from that time, until half-past nine o'clock at night, continuing to knock vio lently at the door. He was accompanied by three ruffians. He exclaimed, " I will have my wife out. I demand my wife. I am determined to have my property. I will have my wife this night, or death will ensue." The witness was very much ex cited, and, pointing at the prisoner, exclaimed, " I am in tear of my life through that monster. I will call him a monster ; he has seduced my child, and I want protection." Mr. BaonauToti—Where is your daughter now? Witness I have sent her to Liverpool this morning. BKOUGHTON—Was she willing to go ?—Yes, your Worship. Prisoner (to prosecutor)—Did you ever abuse your daugh ter, and tell her to come to me for protection ?—Never, never. Prisoner—You did; and she cams crying to me. By the Prisoner—l never accepted presents from you after I knew you were a married man.

The prisoner asked witness whether Mi ss Clarke was at home ? She said she was. He told her that silo had been stolen from him on the previous night, when he was tipsy. Mr. BROUGHTON—h Miss Clarke a prudent young WOrn ao? ; Witness—Miss Clarke was, till her ac quain t ance w ith the Prf • . goner, a steady girl, and h er f at h er was ki n d an d a ffeetioos" towards her.
