On the arr i ve : of the Judges at the Central Criminal Court the enlarged calendar was circul a t e d, by which it appears t h at, since the commencement of the session, 3 8 prisoners h ave been committed t or tr i a l , which makes the aggregate of 129, down to the evening of Tuesday. Thomas Bartholom ew Ilubert, aged 38, fur marrying Abigail Istal, his wife Sarah being then and now living, was sentenced by the Common Sergeant to six months' imprisonment with hard labour. At the Middlesex Sessions Mary Ann Darlutt, aged 23 , was charged with stealing three night gowns and other articles, deser. bed as the property of Wm. Gill. The articles were entrusted to a little girl, for the pure Pose of' taking th em h ome to the owner, who resides in D oswell -street. On her way she was met by the prisoner, who enticed her into Claremont-square on pretence of Sending her on an errand, for which she promised her sixpence when she returned. The child, after some hasitation, accepted the offer, the prisoner promising to mind the clothes until her return, but when she came jback neither clothes nor woman were to be found. The ury found her guilty. The Judge, in passing sentence, eaid such cases had of late become very common, and be was determined to make an example of those offenders whenever they came before him. The sentence , of the Court therefore was, that she be imprisoned for the term of six months; six weeks of which to be solitary.

StisPeciED CHILD MURDER. -- Wednesday after noon, just about dusk, as a policeman of the M division was going his round in Sparrick's-row, near Maze-pond. in the Borough, he saw a bundle lying on the ground, which he found to contain the body of a newly-born reale child. As the body was quite warm, the officer thought there might yet be life in it, and he conveyed it to Guy's Hospital to ascertain the fact ; but upon exami nation by the surgeons. it was pronounced to be quite dead. From its appearance it had not been lung burn, and the mother had not evidently been attended by any professional person. A PANTHER KILLED BY A GIRL.—The La Grange, Texas paper, gives the following incident, which oc curred near Douglas, Nacogdoches county :—A panther came into a house in which there was no person but a young lady and her little brother. The .)oung lady, being very busy attending to her little household affairs, did not see the panther until he had entirely got into the house; but so soon as she discovered him she seized hold . of him and called to her little brother to bring tin axe. After waiting some time fur this weapon, still holding on to the panther, the young lady then told her brother to bring her a smoothing-iron, with which she soon succeeded in putting the intruder to death. The screams of the heroine during the encounter were heard by some of the neighbours. who went immediately to learn the cause; but when they arrived they found her the conqueror, and viewir►g with much composure the lifeless body of the frightful intruder. HERRING FISHING.—There has yet been no ap pearance of herrings on the coast of Skye, or in the lochs by which that island is so much indented. The season may now be looked upon as entirely lost to the poor disappointed fisherman. Should herrings appear in the dead of winter, the qu ality of the fish wou ld b e so inferior, that it would in no respect remunerate the trouble of securing. Few seasons have been so very un favourable for herring fishing in the Hebrides as the now expiring season of 1844 The " take" has been in some bygone seasons very limited, and in consequence has been complained of ; bat when there is no " take" at all, the condition ot. the poor fishermen is by no:means an enviable one, as under these circumstances they and their families must live on credit, which is now almost as oitficult for them to procure as it is to procure the ca pricious fish, which would leave them alike comfortable and independent.—Ross-shire indpendent. The French Princes on Monday gave the spectacle of a stag-hunt to the Arab chiefs in the forest of St. Germain. The Kaliia of Constantia followed the dogs clo,e, and his horse at Just run off with him ; the rider endeavoured to pull him in, but the bit breaking, the animal went off, and did not stop for three-quarters of an hour. The Princes, fearing some accident, sent to seek the chief, and the Duke d'Aumale went to sleet him. The Kalifs was found coming back in safety. Being asked how he liked the hunt, ha replied that " it was ex ceedingly fine, and worthy of a king." AMERICAN SAWS.--ihe Sheffield Mercury of Sa turday iast says :---" Many of the artizans of this town, as well as other individuals, have had their attention arrested during the last few days, by the display in the window of Mr. Eadon, the carver and gilder, in Farg u t e , of a large lithographed show bill of the firm of Worrell and Co., machine and tool makers, New York. Some of the lookers on contented themselves with ad m i r i ng the artistic cleverness of design, others in wondering whether any or' th, Sheffield houses exhibit so large a pictorial advertisement in America ; but there have been not a few observers shrewd and interested enough to no- tiee particularly, that saws of all sorts, from the largest circular to the smallest web, firm a principal part of the deign, and are especially ment i one d a mong the leading articles of manufacture ; thus corroborating the correct ness of the statements we have often incidentally made -as to the great and successful efforts that are made to rival us in this important class of articles by the manu facturers in the United States."

They would thus be able to aff.ird the inhabitants of the west-end of London accommodation at three points —at the two last men tioned, and the terminus of the South-Western Com pany's line at Vauxhall. He ailuded to the great and increasing difficulties of passing the thoroughfares of the City, and mentioned the inconvenience felt on the line at London-bridge for the want of space for the engines, and the impossibility of conducting the . goods traffic on the line with the desired facility. They had, in the course of their labour's, also found great inconvenience from the bickerings and distaste, towards each other exhibited by the Croydon and Greenwich Companies. It was true that the Greenwich Company had got into other hands, but, from, a recent correspondence, he did not think these two Companies had for each other altogether the affection of twin brothers—(Hear, hear)—and the Brighton line could hardly expect to work much more satisfactorily with them than they had done. Another inconvenience now was, that, by the Act of Parliament, they were compelled to run a train at a penny per mile, while they were actually called on by the Croydon Company to pay them three-half pence per mile. He did not hold out any expecta tions that the• proposed branch lines would be El Dorados, but he believed they would pay a reason able return ; they were laid before them openly, on the ground that the Directors believed them to be necessary for the protection of their property. Another part of their proceedings would be the con sideration of the steps necessary to carry out, under certain Acts of Parliament, their agreement with the holders of loan notes, who, in Februa r y nex t, would be entitled to take q uar t er shares for every loan note; a question would arise whether such holders should not be allowed, if they were so disposed, to register one integral share for four quarter shares. The Company had no power to compel them to do so, but he be lieved many would be inclined to do it. He concluded by moving the first resolution, for enabling the Di rectors to apply to Parliament in the ensuing session for powers to construct the branch lines before specified. THE SAVOY CHAPEL.

From the high interest, both architec tural and historital, which attaches to this, the only remaining portiolhof the Savoy, we have thought that it would not be uninteresting to the pu!dic generally, to be made acquainted with what has recently been done for the restoration of this beautiful specimen of Tudor architecture, snore especially when it is rccel lected that the Savoy Chapel was the t.,hice which the English Liturgy was for the first time publicly read in the reign of Queen Elizabeth, and that it was the scene of the memorable Conference between the Episcopalian and Presbyterian Divines on the Book of Common Prayer, in 1661 : " On the death, without issue, of Brien de Insula, or De L'lsle, in the year 123, certain scattered houses,' and their gardens, lying without the walls of London, on the way or street called the Strand,' reverted to the Crown. This property was granted by King Henry 111., in 1245, to Peter, Count of Savoy, on his arrival to visit his niece Queen Eleanor; and it would appear that a mansion of some conse quence had already been erected on the site of the scattered houses,' for the Count lodged here during his stay in England. The manor retains the name which it received from this possessor. He bequeathed it in 1268 to the Convent and Hospital of Mont Joux but Queen Eleanor, having formed an attachment to the place, was anxious to recover it from these legatees. They parted with it for the sum of three hundred marks ; and in 1283 she bestowed it on her favourite son Edmund (created in 1267 Earl of Lancaster). who obtained from his brother, King Edward 1., a royal licence to embattle with a wall his manor se the Savoy,' and here fixed his residence. His grand son Henry, third Earl, and created in 1:351, Duke of Lancaster (being the second English duksdons), re paired, or rather rebuilt, the castellated mansion at the then very large cost of 34,6661. 3s. 4d.; according to the chroniclers he chose to make this use of moneys which had accrued to him in consequence of his dis tinguished services in France, more especially at Bergerac. Camden describes the Savoy of this the first Duke of Lancaster, as one of the fairest manors in all England unto which there was none in the realm to be compared for beauty.' " In this Palace King John of } ranee was lodged and entertained during his captivity in 1357. On his second visit to England he again took up his abode in the Savoy, and he died here in 1363. " On the failure of the male line of Edmund. A.D. 1361, the Dukedom of Lancaster merged in the Crown ; and on the 13th of November, 1362, King Edward 111. bestowed it on his own illustrious son, John of Gaunt, he having married one of the co heiresses (who became, ultimately, the sole heiress) of Henry, Duke of Lancaster. " During the latter years of his father's long reign this Prince resided usually in a style of extraordinary magnificence at the Savoy ; but the protection which he afforded to the principles of Wickliffe having ex cited the populace against him, his palace was sacked by an insurgent mob in 1381, his treasury rifled, his moveables carried away, or cast into the Thames, and the whole building finally burnt to the ground. It appears from a letter of the Duke to the treasurer of his household, Sir John de Norfolk, in February, 1382, that his Castle of Hertford who was seized and plundered, par les niemes communes rebels en le temps del grant rumour. The Duke directs that allowance shall be made to his butler for wines thus destruz et perduz ; namely, 18 tonneles et une pipe et trois quarters d'une pipe des diverses vignes en notre Manoire de la Savoye,' and a smaller quantity in nostre Chastel de Hertford.' " Thus perished the Palace of the Savoy. The manor descended to John of Gaunt's son, Henry of Bolingbroke, and on his accession to the throne as Henry IV., it was vested in the Crown as part of the Duchy of Lancaster, and thus acquired its peculiar dignity and privileges as a royal manor. " There appears no evidence that any royal per sonage ever resided here during the period between the accession of Henry IV. and the latter years of Henry VII. ; but the records mark from time to time moneys paid for the improvement of the Savoy gardens and repairs of the ancient prison attached to the Liberty. The appointments of the stewards and high bailiffs of the manor are regularly noted, and some names of celebrity occur among the successive holders of these offices. " In the will of King Henry VII. (dated 31st of March, 1509) it is recited that the establishment of royal hospitals doth tend to the performance of the seven great works of charity and mercy, and that the same seven works do stand most constantly in six of them ;—to wit, in visiting the sick, ministering meat and drink to the hungry and thirsty, and clothing to the naked, and lodging to the miserable poor, and in burying the dead bodies of Christian people. It is then stated that the King had begun to erect a common hospital in his palace, called the Savoy, beside Charing-cross, and intended, with God's grace, to finish the same according to a plan which was de vised for the same, and signed with his own hand;' that he had endowed it with lands and tenements to the yearly value of five hundred marks 'to maintain one hundred beds garnished to receive, and lodge nightly, one hundred poor folks, as also a certain number of priests, and other ministers and servitors;' that in case the hospital should not be finished at his death, his executors were as soon as goodly might be done' to fulfil his design, and that for the first pro vision thereof, the building, the garnishing of the hundred beds, the purchase of books, chalices, vest ments, &c., requisite for 'the Chapel of the said hospital,' &c., he had delivered in ready money beforehand the sum of ten thousand marks to the Dean and Chapter of St. Paul's. In the second year of his reign King Henry VIII. accordingly granted to the Bishop of Winchester and his father's other executors, by letters patent, under the seal of the Duchy of Lancaster, the site of the manor of the Savoy, in trust for the completion of the plan above mentioned; and two years later he re-confirmed this grant, and gave the executors licence to found a per petual hospital, consisting of a Master Chaplain, and four other chaplains, to be incorporated by the name of the Hospital of King Henry the Seventh of the Savoy. The Abbot of Westminster was to be the visitor of the institution, and take care that prayers and masses were regularly said in the Chapel for the souls of King Henry VII. and his royal predecessors. " In the first of Edward VI. the hospital was one of the many institutions declared to be illegal as directed to superstitious purposes ; and the master and chaplains by a surrender, enrolled in Chancery, gave l it up to the King. In the fourth of Philip and Mary, however, the hospital was re-established for the old purposes, and with its old statutes—the only difference being, that as there was no longer any Abbot of Westminster, the functions of visitor were to be in the Sovereign. It does not appear to what use the revenues of the Savoy endowment had been applied during this brief abrogation, but Stowe mentions that the beds and other furniture had been granted to the hospitals of St. Thomas and Bridewell, and that on the re-establishment 'the ladies of the court and maydens of honour stored the same anew with beddes, bedding, and other furniture, in very ample manner : a thing not to be forgotten.' " The hospital does not seem to have been again interfered with, or its resources diverted from the original purposes of charity, though some variations occurred in the manner of appointing the masters, during the interval between the re-foundation by Philip and Mary and the Restoration of Charles 11. " Very soon after the great Fire of London, the Savoy suffered under a minor devastation of the same sort. The apartments allotted to the chaplain s , called the Brother s ' Lodgings, were w h o ll y destroyed,' and it is probable that they never were rebuilt. " Towards the end of the calamitous war with Holland the greatest difficulty had been found in pro viding fit accommodation for our wounded seamen and soldiers, and shortly after the Peace was signed— the same inconvenience still pressing —Charles 11. was advised to convert the dormitory of the Savoy hospital into a military and marine infirmary. Presently (1675) the lodgings of the sisters and servitors were occupied in a similar manner. As the invalids re covered, or died off; companies of the Foot Guards took possession of the chambers, and thus by degrees the remaining buildings received a totally new desti nation. They became a regular barrack. " The last visitation of the hospital was held in July, 1702, by the Lord Keeper, Sir Nathan Wright, as visitor of all hospitals of royal foundation. There was at the time no master, but four chaplains ap peared, and on the allegation that the statutes had not been conformed to—as how could they have been ob served, when the chambers and beds were seized on and detained for the use of the military ?—the visitor deprived the chaplains of their phices, and the ho spital was declared to be dissolved. " A Bill was soon afterwards ato applyrdslaidthlseefroerveenPuaersliao-f ment, to enable Q the dissolved hospital to whatever charitable objects her Majesty might think fit. It states that the parish of St. Mary, in the Strand, had long been without a church—that it was expedient to conjoin that parish and the Precinct of the Savoy —and proposed that the minister of the Savoy should thenceforth be the rector of the united parish. The Bill, however was opposed, on the ground that its objects were not in conformity with the charitable purpose of the original foundation at the Savoy. It was lost accordingly, and has never been revived. " It would appear that the people residirg near the chapel had, from a very early period, been much in the habit of attending Divine service there, but that it first came to be looked upon as in the nature of a parish church, in consequence of the' sweeping de struction of sacred edifices by which the Protector Somerset cleared the space destined for his great palace in the Strand and its splendid gardens. Among the churches which he thus levelled to the ground was that of St. Mary-le-Strand. No attetept to rebuild that church was thought of until the begin • ning of the last century, and the existing ediEce was not opened for worship until -1723. " The ancient Chapel of the Savoy had been re gularly used by the adjacent population for some time, and had already come to be commonly called the Church of St. Mary-le-Savoy, before it was proposed to Queen Elizabeth to sanction tile creation of a eiis trict parish, by throwing together a part of the parish of St. Clement Danes and the Royal Precinct of the Savoy, with the hospital chapel us its church. This arrangement, being approved of by the then Blab p of London, Grindail, was carried into effect;—and, the wider annexation suggested in Queen Anne's time not having taken place, the chapel continuee to be what Queen Elizabeth left it. It is a parochial benefice in the gift of her Majesty, in right of her Duchy of Lancaster; and before the householders, beyond the Precinct of the Savoy, were admitted to the formal participation in it as their parish church, they signed an instrument renouncing all claim to any right or property in the chapel itself, or in any part of the precinct. " There is a constant tradition, that when the Liturgy in the vernacular tongue was restored by Queen Elizabeth, this chapel was the first place in which the t•ervice was performed. It was in this chapel also that the memorable conference between the Episcopalian and Presbyterian divines on the Book of Common Prayer was held, in the year 1661 ; and the result of that conference constitutes one of the most important events in the history of the Anglican establishment. " The benefice has been held by more than one distinguished ornament of the Chili of England ; among others, by Dr. Anthony Horneek, the favourite Chaplain of King William 111., and one of the most celebrated preachers of his a ge . "At !oils times, since the beginning of the reign el Henry VIII., the chapel is ineetioned as requiring aed receiving extensive repairs; but there seems to be no reason for doubting that • the existing building is the same that was erected and consecrated in com pliance with the testamentary orders of King Henry VII. The position of the altar at the northern ex tremity has been described reeent:y as `anomalous and unprecedented;' hut the magnificent work of Mr. Gaily Knight, )n the Ecclesiastical Architec ture of Italy, from the Earliest Ages to the Fifteenth Century, presents copious evidence that the placing of the altar at the eastern end was by no means uniformly the practice of rtmote aetiquity. In the Chapel of St. James's Palace, which was arranged in the reign of Henry VIII., the altar is in the same situation as at the Savoy, and the beautiful roof itself, of the latter chapel, affords the clearest possible proof' that its decorations were settled before Henry VIII. mooted the divorce of Catharine of Arragon, and that the drawings were executed with reference to the actual position of the alter. " The ceiling of the chapel had long been de formed and obscured under coatings, of whitewash, before the ruinous condition of its wood-work di rected attention to the details of its original embel lishment; but her Majesty's munificence having authorised a complete restoration, the whole of these may now be examined distinctly, which was not the case when certain architectural critics alleged that the building must have been set apart for sacred purposes during the prevalence of puritan theories. " The chapel, now insulated, was originally, as an old print shows, connected with other parts of the hospital. It is throughout in the Tudor style, its interior dimensions 90 by 24 feet. The tower at the southern end is a modern addition. The walls within are quite without ornament ; it is probable that carved woodwork was destroyed as well as painted glass (in the northern window, at least,) during the Commonwealth. The chapel contains some elegant ancient monuments, and one which, though curious, cuts, unfortunately, into the original design of the altar-piece or reredos. " The ceiling resembles the nearly contemporary one of the chapel at St. James's Palace, being wholly of wood (oak and pear tree), flat, with a slight cove next the walls; hut, instead of the angular panels which co ver th e w h o l e sur f ace at the Chapel Royal, with the initials H. A. (Henry VIII. and Anne 13o leyn) painted on them, the roof in the Savoy is divided by moulded ribs into one hundred and thirty eight quatrefoil panels, each enriched with a carved ornament, either of sacred or of historical significance. The panels number twenty-three in the length of the chapel, and six in its width. The ten ranges, commencing at the north window, and extending considerably t o th e sout h war d of the altar-steps, have each in its centre a shield, surrounded by the crown of thorns—each shield presenting in high relief some feature or emblem of the passion and death of our Lord ; and all de: ased and arranged in a style Of which we have mail examples in sacred buildings of the fifteenth and sixteenth centeries. it one quatre foil ere the garment and the dice ; in another the cross; in a third tlie sponge and the spear; in a fourth is the head of the high priest's servant, with the sword of Peter behind his ear. Elsewhere we see a halbert and a lantern ; the column and scourge; a torch and cressel ; the salutation of Judas ; the heeds of Peter and Piletc'e servant ; the cock ; the heads of Pilate and CaiapLes •the five wounds on a rim t, two Lends, and two feet; a pelican ; an open sepulchre with three pots of me rrh. The exterior panels have angels supporting the cross, the ladder, the spear, the crown of ftterns, the napkin of St.Veronice, and - the column e the scourging. lhe paneie throughout the reefs - , tif the ceiling are occupied by bearings or badges, indicating the various families from which the royal lineage was derived, and more particularly the alliances of the House of Lancaster ; each of these panels being surrounded, in place of the crown of thorns towards the altar end, with a torce or wreath tinted with the livery colours of the various families respectively. Thus we have the Red Dragon of Cadwallader ; the Black Bull of Clare ; the White Hart of Richard II.; the White Hind of his mother, the Fair Maid of Kent ; the White Falcon of York ; the White Lion of March ; the Antelope of Henry V. ; the Winged Stag of France; the Golden Lion, regally crowned, of England; the White Greyheend of Henry VII.; the Antelope and Ibex, with curved horns and spotted skin, being the badge or 'Beste' of Margaret of Richmond, mother of that King, the same that is displayed so frequently on her colleges at Cambridge : and in many of the smaller compartments, what has already been alluded to as making the date of the decoration, the Pome granate of Catherine of Arragon, a badge first adopted by her father on the surrender of Granada in 1491.* " There can be no doubt that the use of rich colours was general in the interior of our ancient churches, more especially cathedrals and chapels royal. The example of restoring the splendid blazonry which had been obliterated in times of puritan fanaticism, and afterwards neglected, was set about twenty years ago in the metropolitan church of Canterbury. It has been followed in many places, nowhere more happily or more magnificently than in the Temple Church. And the restoration of the Savoy ceiling would surely have been incomplete, had what were originally its characteristic features been allowed to remain in their recent obscurity. " The other alterations lately made were adopted with a view to the greater comfort of the congrega tion. A superfluous doorway has been walled up, and the other approach widened; but the beautiful carved work which had thus to be removed, is placed in another part of the chapel, and the new wooden carving, requisite where it had stood, has been done exactly on its model. The pulpit (no doubt of Eliza bethan date) has been shifted to a more convenient position, and her Majesty has been graciously pleased to grant the chapel a good organ, in lieu of the barrel-organ, which was all it seems ever to have possessed previously. "The great north window had been bricked up and covered by a wretched painting. It has now been re opened. and the parishioners having, in grateful ac knowledgment of her Majesty's liberality es to the structure in general, requested permission to fill it with stained glass at their own expense, it is restored in a very satisfactory manner. In the lower central compartment is the figure of St. John the Baptist, to whom the hospital, of the Savoy was dedicated ; th e side compartments, on the same range, hav e t h e emblems of the other Evangelists. Ihe letter L , s urmounted with the Ducal Coro ne t, t h e Red Rose Of Lancaster, and the Lions and Fleurs-de Lis of the Plantagenet escutcheon, have been introduced in other parts; and the jamb is inscribed thus This window was glazed at the cost of the Congregation, in honour of God, and in gratitude to our Queen Victoria.'" * The devices on this ailing are naziutely explained in Mr. Willement's Heraldic work. QUEEN Q, EN AND GIBSON, THE ScuLrTon.--The Queen sat for a bust to Mr. Gibson, a short time pre vious to his departure for Rome. He is commissioned Qto produce a full-length statue of her Majesty. The ueen and her Royal Consort were highly pleased with the ‘york of the accomplished sculptor, whom they 'T o ived and treated with marked urbanity and considera tion—with a gracious delicacy, indeed —which made the artist at once at ease in " the presence." Two or three slight incidents occurred during his '6-it to Windsor, which are worthy of note, as exhibiting her Majesty's generous thought in regard to the pleasures of her sub jects. Mr. Gibson's attention was directed to the posi tion occupied by a statue, the work of Wyatt. Passing into another apartment, a place was pointed out as that originally selected for it. Gibson saw at once that this was a site far more advantageous to the production of his friend, and said so. Her Majesty immediately re plied, " I think with you; but, if placed here, the people would not be able to see it." During one of the sittings, the Prince of Wales was brought into the room. Mr. Gibson said, " Your Majesty, I am a Welshman: will your Majesty allow me to kiss the hand of the Prince of Wales?" The Queen looked pleased, and was pleased; and the sculptor knelt, and " did his devoir as a cour tier."—Art Union.

EASTERN RAILWAY. There were four resolutions proposed in confor. mity with the report, and asking for a large discre. tionary power to be vested in the hands of the Di• rectors. Mr. H. V. LEE proposed the adoption_ of the re• port and the th ree fi rst resolutions. He said that the present was a most critical period for the Company, and strongly recommended unanimity amongst themselves. He apologised for coming forward so early as he did, but he thought it right to do so, as he had between 4,000 and 5,000 proxies in his pocket, and he was surrounded by several other persons who held a far larger number, who were prepared to vote the same way with them. He was also a large Proprietor, and, that being the case, he thought he was justified in calling upon them for the adoption of the report and resolutions. He owned he was also a proprietor in other railways ; but he stood there as an Eastern Counties proprietor, .and he ad vised others, who may have other interests likewise, to consider that they were there as Eastern Counties proprietors. The Hon. Proprietor then dis cussed the merits of the lines between Newport, Cam bridge, Ely, and Brandon, the line from Hertford to Biggles wade, and the other proposed lines, and said that, with regard to each of them, the Directors had exercised a sound judgment, and he had, therefore, great pleasure in moving the adoption of the report and resolutions. Mr. SMITH seconded the motion. Mr. CORBOLD said that before the motion was put, he wished to say a few words. Though a Direc tor of the Eastern Union Railway, he stood there as a proprietor of the Eastern Counties Railway. Mr. Cobbold then went on to complain of a most important communication having been made by the Directors of the Eastern Counties Railway to the Directors of the Eastern Union Railway, without allowing any suffi cient time for its consideration. The Secretary was then called on to read the cor respondence which had taken place, as the best answer to Mr. Cobbold. The report and resolutions were then put and car• ried unanimously, with acclamation. Mr. ESDLLB said it was understood, and the agree ment had it so, that the Thames Junction line was to be paid for by debentures at a period of twenty years. He now wished to know why there was a de parture from that agreement? Mr. BIDDER said that he was the first who thought of that line, and the original agreeme n t was, t h at the payment should be either by debentures or money. Mr. ESDALE said he had the printed report, and that mentioned debentures only. The amount was only small, to be sure, but he confessed he did not feel satisfied. The CHAIRMAN said they felt they were indebted to Mr. Bidder and his family for their exertions with regard to this line, and perhaps th e y h a d, on that account, departed vim the strict letter of the ar rangement.—(Hear, hear.) The resloutions were then put and carried. Mr. D. W. HARVEY said that the report contained most important propositions, and he believed that they had not time to consider any one of them fully. However, after it had been adopted unanimously, he thought it would not be profitable to revert to it again. He thought they ought to have appointed a Committee of five or seven Shareholders to deliberate on the important propositions contained in the report. At the same time, he admitted that thi s was a cr i s i s in their affairs.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted that all the expectations entertained by the Directors might turn oat to be correct, but if so, he believed it would be owing rather to their good fortune than to their sound judgment. He, was afraid the only persons who were to be really envied were the lawyers and Parliamentary agents, for the Company were now required to support six lines, to oppose six lines, and to countenance two others. He thought the Chair man of the Eastern Railway had just grounds of complaint that sufficient time was not allowed that Company to answer the proposition made by this Company, though he could not say much for the calmness with which they had replied to that pro position. 'He th oug h t i t r i ght not to oppose the report, b u t h e b egged to guard himself as being un derstood t o sanction it. Mr. WARD, M.P ., said that if the Proprietors had not confidence in the Board of Directors, what they ought to do would be to turn them out at once. If everything useful done by the Directors was to be ascribed to their good fortune, and not to their sound judgment; and if, after all their exertions for the last nine months, the result was, that they had placed the York" and London line on no more advantageous foot ing than if they had done nothing at all, in that case the best course would be not to appoint a Committee, but-to cashier the Directors at once.—(Hear, hear.) He would acquiesce in that course if he concurred in the statements made by his Hon. Friend. But he did not do so. He thought the meeting were fully com petent to decide on the propositions submitted to them. It was necessary for the Directors to have large powers, to be enabled to go before the Board of Trade and Parliament with the proper weight and authority; arid if they acted with cordiality and unanimity, he did not see how their propositions could be refused. After some further observations by Mr. Atkinson, Mr. Cobbold, and Mr. Rinnaird, a vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman and Directors, after which the meeting separated. LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY. A special general meeting of the Proprietors of :he London and Brighton Railway was held yester day, at one o'clock, at the London terminus, London bridg,e, to consider a report and resolutions, which it was stated by the call of the meeting were to be sub mitted to them. Captain Kelly was in the chair. The SECRETARY (bll - . C. R. Mackenzie), being called by the Chairman, read the notice of the meet ing, which was specially called to consider the ques tion of applying to Parliament for powers to tbrm three branch lines from the main line, at three seve ral points, of which the following is a description : " The first branch commences near the Three Bridges Station, and proceeds through Crawley to Horsham : the length of it is nearly eight miles and a half, and the estimated expense is 94,0351. The se cond branch commences near Redstone Hill, and runs through Reigate and Bletchingly, to Dorking : the length of it is seven miles and a quarter. For this branch two alternative lines have been deposited —the one avoiding the town of Reigate altogether, the estimate for which is 102,3041. ; and the other going through the critre of it, the estimate for which is 109,7341. The third branch commences near the station at Croydon, and runs through Streatham and Tooting, joining the South -Western Railway, in the parish of Wandsworth : it is six miles and a half long, and the estimated expense is 119,1911." The CHAIRMAN, having offered to read the report at length, which was negatived, inasmuch as it had been circulated among the Proprietors previous to the meeting, then said he had to avail himself of their indulgence while he repudiated the ungenerous and unworthy imputations that had been cast on the Directors of this Company by a gentleman who pre sided at a meeting held in that room on Thursday l ie their ac ti ons and begged it t o b e distinctly last. At that mee ti ng h e waa sa id to have stated that they (the Directors) were act uated by a feeling of pique t towards understoodhi s C tthat i nal all their dealings they had been actuated but by one feeling—a desire to promote the interests of the Pro prietors—(Hear, hear)—and the accommodation of the public with which he conceived those interests were identical. Within the last week there had also been a very unworthy resolu tion agreed to by a body of persons ho met in the town of Leeds, wherein the Directors of this Company were accused of a profligate expen diture of the money of the Proprietors. He should not trust himself to give utterance of what he felt with respect to this accusation, but would leave it en tirely to the judgment of the Proprietors themselves. --(hear, hear.) They would now proceed to the business before them. The first part of that business was to bring before them the consideration of three short branch lines, extending from their own line at certain points. It was well known what excitement had pervaded the railway world during the last five or six months, and the Directors were quite alive to the necessity of protecting the interests of the Com pany. They considered it, necessary that these short branch lines should be thrown out, as outworks for the protection of their property, and to prevent it from being invaded. The Chairman then described these lines (as above stated), and went into a minute detail of the advantages that w raid arise from a ter minus or termini at the west- , -nd of London, which great desideratum would be afforded by agreeing to A meeting of the P:•oprietors of . the Eastern Counties Railway was heA yesterday at the London Tavern, Bisbopsgate-street, for the purpose of con sidering the extension of lines in connexion with the main line of the Compati3 . ;, and for taking into consi deration several proposals for the purpose of increas ing the traffic of the line. In consequence of the illness or Mr. Bosanquet, the Chairman of the Board of Directors, Mr. RAIIIEIOISE, the Deputy-Chairman, filled his place, and s9id, on taking the chair, that he would not at that time occupy the time of the meeting with any remarks, but would reserve himself till questions were put requiring an explanation. He would only mention that on that morning they had seen Mr. Hudson, and he was happy to be able to inform the meeting that the Cambridge and Lincoln Company had come to an arrangement, the principles of which were satisfactory to the Eastern Counties Rail Way. —(Hear.) He would now call upon the Secretary to read the report. • The Secretary then read the report, which was a very voluminous document, proposing several exten sions, and large discretionary powers for the Di- . rectors. ' Mr. HENDERSON seconded the resolution in a speech of great length, going most minutely into all the local and general features of these branch lines and the contemplated lines, which made them neces sary as an act of self-defence. He explained his posi tions by frequent reference to a map of the Brighton and other lines, prepared for the purpose, without which his arguments could not be conveyed with any degree of clearness. He strongly urged the Pro prietors to adopt the resolution. Mr. FLOOD said the only question the Proprietors ought to consider was, whether the lines would be for their own interest or not, or was there any other way of procuring the same advantages without in volving them in a contest with other Companies ? He thought he could establish that there were other modes by which these advantages could be obtained. The cost of these lines was assumed to be 120,0001., and was likely to be more. He thought they ought to pause before they assented to projects that sprung from the mania of railroad speculations that now pre vailed. Because other projects were on foot, were they to rush into these schemes, notwithstanding their inexperience ? The wisest thing they could do was to hold their hands while speculation was so rife; at present they could hardly draw any sound conclusions. The last speaker had complained of the aggression and invasion of their claims by other parties, and the arguments he had used would go far to justify similar charges against themselves. If so charged, what could they reply ? Quis tulit Gracchi de seditione qucerentes? He utterly disclaimed being actuated by anything like hostility to the Directors ; he believed that, from first to last, they had endeavoured to do their duty to the Company. Mr. LEVI said that now all the three London bridge companies were at loggerheads, the joint committee ought at least to give up the 1,0001. they were allowed. But though they quarrelled, he dared to say they took their salaries. It was all very well to talk about the public, and that they would be benefited ; but was he to risk his capital to benefit them ? He liked the public very well, but he did not choose to yield to the common cant about giving all their money to it. They would not get 1001. a year extra by the West-end terminus. The rich people at the West-end who went to Brighton had got their own carriages to take them to the sta tion, and what did they care whether it was at London-bridge or Ilungerford-bridge ? He hoped they would give up this unproductive scheme. Mr. PARSONS spoke strongly in favour of the pro posal, and thought some of the calculations stated by Mr. Flood was fallacious. The South-Western line were engaging in an immense undertaking, of which they would have the use merely for a proportionate toll. He pointed out the immense growth of the metropolis and insisted on the advantage of a western terminus, and hoped the Proprietors would support the Directors. On the application of a PROPRIETOR, the agreement of the Brighton Company with the South-Western Company was read. Mr. C. GRENFELL said it was impossible to decide on a document of such importance, especially as so many points in it were to be left to reference. He objected to various parts of the plan ; he objected to the guarantee to the South-Western Company of a minimum of 7,0001. a year. The number of resolu tions was ten, and to the third of them he moved an amendment, which was seconded by an Hon. Pro prietor. A long discussion ensued, in which the chief point involved was whether or not, in the carrying out the proposed plan, the Company would commit a breach of faith with the Croydon Company. Mr. MELLOR contended that there was no breach of faith in the case. He replied to the arguments of Mr. Wilkinson, the Chairman of th e C roy d on li ne, an d supported th e plan of the West-end termini as essen tial to the prosperity of the Company. Mr. TAYLOR opposed the proposal as not being remunerative, and said he should decidedly vote against it. The CHAIRMAN put the amendment of Mr. Gren fell, which, on a show of hands, was lost by a great majority. Mr. FLOOD then moved the adjournment of the meeting, which was also lost on a division The CHAIRMAN then pug the original resolution, when the numbers were— For the resolution 47 Against it .. Majority for the resolution —34 A poll was then demanded, and Mr. Shrewster and Mr. Mellor were named scrutineers. The poll having been taken, the resolution was declared to be carried by a majority of 25. The remaining resolutions, which were dependent on the first, and fixed the mode of raising the funds, were carried without opposition. Thanks were then voted to the Chairman, and the meeting separated at six o'clock, the proceedings having lasted five hours. ARREARS OF BUSINESS IN THE LAW COURTS.— Hilary Term begins on Saturday, and by the lists of the Court of Queen's Bench and the Exchequer, it appears that the rules for new trials which remained undeter mined at the end of the sittings after Michaelmas term last number in the first-mentioned Court 120. The first rule was moved so long ago as Michaelmas, 1842. In Michaelmas term following there were three which still remain undecided. In Hilary term last four ; in Easter term last forty, and four which were tried during the same term ; in Trinity term last three, and a similar number tried in that term ; in Michaelmas term fifty one, and two others tried in the term. There are nine rules standing for the judgment of the Court, the first of which, as stated, was moved in Michaelmas term, 1842, and the last in Hilary term, 1844. In the Court of Ex chequer there are two rules for judgment, one moved in Easter term, and the other in Trinity term last, and in addition one rule for argument, moved in Hilary term last. There are sixty rules moved in the last term, and two granted after the fourth day of the same term. The special paper exhibits one for judgment and eleven for argument. The demurrer for judgment was heard in November last in the case of " Buron v. Denman, Esq.," in which an important question was raised re specting the capture of a slave vessel by Capt. Denman, and on which two other rules are pending. In the peremptory paper there are twelve rules ; the earliest day of the first rule nisi was in Juno, and the latest in November last. The peremptory paper is to be called on the first day of the term after the motions, and to be proceeded with the next day if necessary, before the motions. Before we enter on subjects relating to the new year, there is a blot connected with the old which we are most anxious to expunge. We owe it in justice to the offended feelings of a nobleman—we owe it in justice to a public, who may have been misled—and we also owe it in justice to ourselves, to express our regret at having been made the channel of an unfounded imputation against the commanding-officer of a cavalry regiment in Ireland, who was said to have refused an extension of leave under very peculiar and distressing circumstances. On receiving intimation of its incorrectness, we lost no time in offering to place the columns of our paper at the disposal of the aggrieved nobleman, for any refutation he might desire at our hands ; and it is now our duty to express our regret at having been the means of mislead ing the public mind by a s t a t ement wh i ch has turned out to be unfounded. The difficulty of keeping the columns of a publiejournal free from erroneous statements is far greater than perhaps any one unconnected with the press may believe. In the present case, there is but one circumstance to mitif,ate our regret—=by having given publicity to the paragraph in question, we have been placed in a position as publicly to establish the positive untruth of a charge which might otherwise have con tinued to be darkly and maliciously whispered against the Noble Lord. It is our anxious wish as journalists always to do right; and when led into error, our greatest satisfaction will always be promptly to acknowledge, and amply to at , me for it.—Court Journal.
