RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. CORNWALL DIRECTCENTRAL-COUNTY MEETING. %mute, Auc. 29.—The county meeting at Bodmin this day attracted the greatest attention, and drew crowds to the county town. Cornwall has long been desirous of participat ing in the benefits of railway communication, and the feeling of the county, as expressed by the inhabitants at various public meetings, has been decidedly in favour of a central line. Against this feeling the Great Western Company have hither to contended, and under their auspices the coast line was brought out, and pushed before Parliament, till, having in the recent session been forced through the Commons, it was suddenly shipwrecked in the House of Lords. The declaration of the Great Western people in favour of the coast line had paralysed the hopes of the natives, who abandoned all thought of getting their direct line. But on the defeat of the coasters their hopes revived, and it was determined that a county meeting should be held for the purpose of testing the feeling of the county on the reopening of the question. The Cornish people assembled in great numbers from the coast and the west. Several parties from London, Exeter, Plymouth, Bristol, -&c., also attended. Among the parties from Exeter were the Mayor, Edward Woolmer, Esq., Mr. James Woolmer, his son, Captain Hulme, John Daw, Esq., H. D. Barton, Esq., &c., connected with the direct route from London or its proposed branches ; Mr. Wrey, connected with a former plan to bring a line by the valley of the Taw to Exeter, and a deputation from what may be called the great central interest. The requisition was signed by 1,300 freeholders ; and amongst thoSe who attended were the following :—John Hearle Tremayne, E. Archer, of Trelaske, J. K. Lethbrid ge , W. H. Arundel Harris, Esqs. ; Captain H ext, Captain Collings, Dr. Yen, Dr. Michel ; Rev. Mr. Kingdon, of Pyworthy, Rev. H. A. Simcoe, W. Braddon, Esq., Goldsworthy Gurney, Esq., Humphrey Williams, Esq., Richard Harvey, Esq., of St. Day; Steven Davy, Esq., Richard Davy, Esq., William Davy, Esq., ' Richard Thomas, Esq., of Falmouth • Thomas Harvey, Esq., James Bull, Esq., T. H. Tilley, Esq., Sergeant Gazelee, T. C. Rowe, Esq., Captain Moreshead, William S an dy s Sandys, Esq., Richard Gully Bennett, Esq., D. P. Hoblyn, Esq., &c. There were present also—The Chisholm, and John Chapman, Esq., Directors of the South Western Railway Company, who attended with the deputation from the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil lines, with the secretary, L. Crombie, Esq. , H. D. Barton, Esq., and Mr. Wrey, who attended as a deputation from a proposed direct Barnstaple and Exeter line ; Sir W. Tonkin, John Whidbori.e, Esq , Ed. Pryor, Esq., and P. Pearce, Esq., who attended as a deputation from the Dart mouth, Torbay, ai.d Exeter line ; and W. D. Moore, Esq., who, with Mr. Collumbine, attended on behalf of the direct project, which fell to the ground before the unanimity of the proposed line. The High Sheriff, E. Rodd, Esq., of Trebartha Hall, opened the meeting at one o'clock, in the Nisi Prius Court of the County Hall. The SHERIFF said the meeting was convened, in consequence of a requisition which he had received, bearing the signatures of the Lord Lieutenant of the county, Lord Carteret, Lord Vivian, besides a great number of the gentry, merchants, and freeholders of the county. The UNDER-SHERIFF read the requisition, after which The Hum SHERIFF read letters from Mr. Carew, M.P., who declined to be present as he should not like to take part in a meeting, the proceedings of which he might have to decide upon in Parliament. Mr. Rashleigh would not interfere till some specific line was decided on by the county. Sir Charles Lemon was abroad, and Mr. Pendarves was ill. But, of the latter gentleman, Mr. Rowe would probably report. Sir W. S. TRELAWNEY, Bart., the Lerd-Lieutenant of the county, was warmly cheered on stepping forward to propose the first resolution. He said that so far as his own personal interest was concerned, he should have been much more satis fied with the south line, as that line would be most convenient to his little property. But it was such a line that he could not sanction it, although it had been supported by gentlemen whose talent and position made him most reluctant to oppose them.—( Hear, and cheers.) About ten years ago the cen tral line was first brought before the country. A committee appointed to consider the subject reported unanimously that the line was one which afforded the prospect of a paying traffic, and that there were no engineering difficulties which could not be overcome. From that time to this the central line had been his favourite plan—(Cheers)—and he believed that there was now a fair prospect of seeing it carried into effect. The Hon. Baronet concluded by moving the first reso lution, which was received . with great cheering :—" That the general interests of the county of Cornwall, as well as the public at large, absolutely required that no trunk line should be sanctioned through the county which did not afford the most direct, central, safe, and continuous railway communication from Falmouth and Penzance to London." JOHN K. LETHBRIDGE, Esq., Chairman of the Quarter Ses sions, seconded the resolution, and asserted that the cental line was the only one which would be beneficial to both sides of the county.—( Great cheering.) It would bring the north of the county fairly into existence ; for if the south line had been carried, a considerable portion of the north, as well as a por tion of the county of Devon, might as well have been in the Box Tunnel for ever.—(Hear.) He should not enter into the question of traffic, for it had been stated that there was a suffi cient traffic through the centre of the county, taking the Bod min moors into account, to afford a fair and reasonable profit to the speeulator.—( Cheers. ) The High Sheriff put the resolution, and it was carried una nimously. JOHN H. TREMAYNE, Esq., proposed the second resolu tion. When he found a line likely to pass which was a com plete one-sided scheme—a railway which was of such a nature as to be described not only by its enemies but its friends in terms which would give the public no confidence—the railway proposed by the Great Western, which was to take them round the sinuosities of the coast, across the valleys of Lone and Fowey, through the deep ravine of St. Austell, and finally trun dle them on to the flying bridge of Hamoaze ; finding that this was the scheme projected, he had thought it necessary to call the attention of the Lord Lieutenant, in a letter which was afterwards made public, in the hopes of inducing him (the Lord Lieutenant) and others to give a substantial evidence of their opinion on this question—and they did do it in the House of Lords.—( Cheers.) Now the fashion had been to say, that this railway had been postponed : he said it had been most essentially defeated—( Great cheeering)—and the word postponed was a deceptive one. The Hon. Gt-ntleman then sketched the route which in his opinion the line branching from Truro to Falmouth should take, and having gone into some de tails on this point, said the question was, were they to go by Plymouth or straight to Exeter? He said straight to Exeter, by the moors to Launceston, where there was as fine a line as could be by Hatherleigh to Exeter. That was the line which should be adopted. The stream of traffic was ample. After adverting to the great services of the Committee of the House of Lords, he concluded, amid cheers, by proposing a resolution in support of the project which should best carry out the de sired central line. Mr. C. B. SAWLE, in the absence of Sir J. Sawle, seconded this, and it was carried by acclamation. Captain NEXT said that, in the event of war, Falmouth would be the rendezvous of merchantmen. The increased dan ger of the Channel navigation from the war steamers of the enemy would make them land their valuable cargoes at Falmouth, and probably the most valuable cargoes for exportation would be sent by land to Falmouth, which would become a most im • portant mercantile place. For these reasons he thought the county ought not to be satisfied withou,t it got the best and speediest line of railway. Jens; CHAPMAN, Esq., Chairman of the Salisbury and Yeovil line, ,aid the latter Company originated with men who saw what the west of England required, and saw that the South-Western Company was bound by a most absurd agree ment not to do their duty in the matter.—( Cheers.) This Company was called into existence by the absolute necessity there was for a direct line of communication from London to Exeter.—(Cheers.) They had the same solicitor and the same engineer (Mr. Locke) as the South-Western Company, and many of its members were influential shareholders in that Company. So far with regard to the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Junction Company. Then there was the Yeovil and Exeter Company, which had the most influential noblemen and gentlemen of Dorset and Devon in its directory. But the two Companies, though distinct in locality, were one in object and unity of design, having the same engineer in both cases. They were two lines before Parliament, but one in unity. They had no solicitor to beat up for names, no engineer to be en gaged, no apprehension about means, for all that was done; - their capital was subscribed, their deposits paid, and the Lon don and Salisbury line possessed 1,300,000/. of available capi tal ; the Salisbury and Yeovil had, in like manner, 1,500,0001.; the two Companies, therefore, which through him tendered their co-operation, had 2,800,000/.—ample to cover all contin gencies.—( Cheers.) Mr. Chapman concluded his address by tendering the aid of the Companies he represented towards carrying a line through Cornwall. The Cmsnotsr presented himself as one of the Directors of the Exeter and Yeovil Company. Anxious as they were to advance this scheme, they had desired him to say that they would lend the county of Cornwall all the aid they could to promote what they believed to bo an object of national im portance—(Cheers)—and he would hand in a list of the names which they were desirous of adding to the Committee of the Cornwall and Devon central line of railway.—( Cheers.) Hav ing read the names, he said he thought that by their united efforts, aided by such auxiliaries as they would hear named that day, and acting on the Cornish motto, " one and all," they could not fail in getting a happy and triumphant result.— (Cheers.) He concluded amid loud cheering by proposing names for the Provisional Committee. The Mayor of Exeter (EDWARD WOOLMER, Esq.), fol lowed to the same effect. Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE appeared as' a shareholder of the . South-Western Railway Company.—( Great cheering.) He wished he could appear as an authorised delegate, to take up a position which he thought was their own—a position which he thought fur the sake of the public they ought to occupy. But there was an unfortunate agreement which their Directors, in their infatuation, had entered into with the Great Western Company. But though he had not the authority of the Direc tors, be came to hold out the right hand of fellowship, and he believed he could do so on behalf of the great body of the pro prietors—( Great cheering)—who were indignant that their • interests should be sacrificed, and he offered them (the Cornish people) help. Sir WARWICK TONKIN came from the small company of the Dartmouth and Torbay and Exeter Railway, and tendered their co. operation in promoting the great work. Mr. W. A. H. ARUNDEL proposed that the best thanks of . the meeting were due to the number of gentlemen who had come forward in aid of the county of Cornwall, and that their prospectus be accepted, and that the Provisional Committee he immediately formed, for the purpose of carrying out the central line from Exeter to Fal mouth.—( Cheers. ) HUMPHRY WILLYAMS, Esq., seconded this in a brief ad dress, and hoped the meeting would join him in a general de claration of a central line or none.—( Loud cheering.) Mr. TILLEY, solicitor, then read the report of Mr. Locke and Mr. Neale, the engineers of the proposed line. Mr. W. C. Howl', barrister, tendered the names of Lord Vivian and Mr. Pendarves for the Provisional Committee. Mr. Edward Archer, of Trelask, added his name to the Pro visional Committee ; and thanks having been given to the High-Sheriff, the immense assemblage separated. WELSH MIDLAND. The first meeting of the Directors of this Company was held on Saturday, to lay before the landed proprietors of this county the various lines which had been explored from Birmingham to and beyond Brecon, and to take the views and wishes of the gentlemen whose properties would be interfered with relative to any deviation of the line which any particular interest might lead them to desire. Brecon, as the great centre of the Welsh Midland, was se lected for holding the meeting. Viscount Hereford, Mr. Williams of Penpont, the Lord-Lieutenant of the county, Lloyd V. Watkins, Esq., of Pennoyre, Walter Maybery, Esq., Captain Stretton, of Dan y Park, H. Allen; Esq., of Oakfield, Rev. Hugh Bold, Re•. Thomas Powell, Rev. Thomas Vaughan, Colonel Charles Wood, and the other large owners of land on the intended course of the line, Were in attendance. At the conclusion of the business the Directors and gentry of the district in attendance sat down to a sumptuous dinner. On Tuesday a meeting, also in furtherance of the interests of the Welsh Midland, was held at Bewdley, the Mayor, Mr. Joseph Farmer, presiding. Deputations from the Birmingham Canal Company, the London and Birmingham Railway Com pany, the Welsh Midland and Trent Valley, and Midland Companies, attended. Scott, AL P., Mr. W. L. Childe, and others, addressed the meeting, and resolutions were passed unanimously to the effect that the proposed Welsh Midland, through Leominster to Ilewdley, and thence to Kidderminster, to communicate with the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stow Valley Railways, and thereby with the Trent 'Valley, -- - -- ~~ _=. w ... r. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY__EVENING,, AUGUST 'a, 1845. Midland, and Grand Junction Railway, will be conducive to the best interests of the town and neighbourhood of Bewdley ; and that the meeting would afford to it its most strenuous support. CALEDONIAN. The first ordinary meeting of the Shareholders was held on Wednesday, at the Royal Hotel, Edinburgh; Mr. J. Hope Johnstone, of Annandale, M.P., in the chair. There was a numerous attendance of Proprietors. The Secretary, Mr. RANKINE, read the Directors' report, after which The report of Mr. Erringten, the engineer, was read, which stated that the works at the Beattock summit had been com menced, and that the contractors were at work. The CHAIRMAN then addressed the Proprietors, congra tulating them on the success of their Parliamentary contest. The opposition which they had met with had been of the most determined character, conducted by powerful and wealthy public bodies, and maintained throughout every stage of the Parliamentary proceedings, and even after, as he really be lieved, the slightest hope of succeeding in throwing out the Caledonian Bill continued to exist in the mind of any reasonable man among their opponents. Upon several' occasions proposals of arrangement had been made, but these never came in any official shape, and they invariably were based on the concession of many of those points which formed the distinguishing and most valuable features in the Caledonian system. Under these circum stances, those who had charge of the Bill had no choice as to the course which they should follow. Every tribunal before whom they came yielded to the force of the reasons which they brought forward. The Government Commissioners, the Board of Trade, the Committee of the House of Commons and that of the Lords in succession, by their decisions, put the impress of their sanction upon the project, and they were enabled, by reference to the concurring testimony of all these impartial bodies, to show that they had not hastily, or without cause, taken up the position for which they had contended. This was not the day of monopoly in any shape, but least of all was it the (lay of railway monopoly, and unquestionably projects might, and probably would, be brought out, in some' degree inimical to the Caledonian Company, and which it might be their duty to resist. But it was no part of their system to act as aggressors, or to deal with any other parties in a grasping and overbearing spirit. On the contra! y, they were most anxious to meet other companies with a sincere desire to accommodate differences, and to adjust matters on fair terms, and with a view to mutual advantage; and here he would say, that he truly believed that if such a feeling influenced mere generally the councils of these powerful bodies, it would be for their advantage. Lord BELHAVEN, in moving the adoption of the report, re ferred to the expediency of effecting arrangements with some of the short lines near Glasgow. The expenses had, no doubt, been great, but this was mainly owing to the determined oppo sitionthey had met with in Committee. Baillie ANDERSON seconded the adoption of the report, which was put and carried unanimously, and after some obser vations from Colonel Macdonald, Colonel Graham, Mr. Lock hart, M.P., Dr. Cormack, and others, Donald Lindsay and Henry Brock were appointed auditors, and 1,000 guineas were voted to the Directors for their services. ISLE OF WIGHT. VENTNOR, FRlDAY.—Pursuant to announcement, a meet ing of the owners and rate-payers of Ventnor and its neigh bourhood, including Shanklin, Bonchurch, St. Lawrence, and Niton, was held at the St. Boniface Hotel, yesterday, for the purpose of expressing the sentiments of the inhabitants on the subject of the contemplated railway. On the motion of Mr. COLE, seconded by Mr. LA NKESTER, Sir Raymond Jarvis was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business, said, in consent ing to become a provisional director of the proposed line, it was with the expectation that it was likely to benefit the island, as he felt great interest in its prosperity. They should leave everything having reference to an illustrious party in the island out of the question; and if any strong objection were made in that quarter, lie thought such an expression would certainly be deemed by them entitled to respect. The pro jectors of the Southampton and Manchester Railway were the promoters of this line. He had heard no good arguments ad duced to show that a railway would prove injurious. It had been said that the place would be overrun, that it would be demoralised, and that a railway would drive away the gentry. Now, instead of railways driving away people, every town was desirous of getting a railway as near to it as possible. Such objections had been urged when the railway was making at Southampton ; but he lived in a retired spot in the vicinity, and only one dis turbance had taken place during the time of its formation. The parish in which he lived was decidedly improved by the railway. So far from having a demoralising influence on the people, he thought railways promoted civilization, and tended much to tranquillise the country. It had been said that it wanted nothing to tranquillise Ireland but railways, and he concurred in that opinion. He thought that in affording in creased facilities for enabling the artisan to see the beauties of nature they were doing that which was calculated to make them better men. And did they not require improvement in the island ? Without making any invidious observations, or reflect ing on any parties, he would ask, are the Ventnor roads in a proper state? Could they travel more than five miles an hour on them ? Why, the fact was, that invalids who came there were quite knocked up in their journey from Ryde or Cowes to Ventnor. Then, in reference to the numbers who would flock to the place, he would ask, why should the artisan be denied the privilege of seeing the country as well as the man who has honour and wealth attached to his name ?—(Cheers.) It has been said that it was not the people of the island, but strangers, who had projected the railway. Who carried out the Southampton Railway ? Not the people of that place ; they went to London and to Manchester, and there they found as much money as they wanted. Mr. Chaplain held more shares than all the county of Southampton put together. These gentlemen offered to bring money among the people of the island; and was it possible they could have three or four hundred thousand pounds put in circulation without being benefited thereby ? He had no doubt of the success of a rail. way, and should be happy to have as many shares as the com pany would let him have. The advantages to be derived from its introduction in the direct communication it would afford with Southampton were very great ; they would then be able to go to London and back in the same day. It had been said that a railway would destroy the beauties of the island, but this was before it was known what route the line would take. It was to come west of Cowes, through Newport, and thence to Ventnor, and would not interfere wish or do injury to any pro perty. So far from its doing injury to property, a railway would benefit it. He knew that land through which the Southampton Railway passed, originally not worth 2s. an acre, now let for 20s. They would likewise be able to obtain the necessaries of life with greater facility than they do now, and see 100 persons in the island for every one they saw at present. The company will also employ the population as far as it is possible to do so in the construction of the line. Ships from foreign parts, desirous of landing their bags and forward ing them to London, will, by the facilities the proposed line will afford, save several hours. It only required union and perse verance to get the measure passed through the Legislature. The Honourable Baronet concluded a long address by reading a quo tation from Lord Morpeth's speech at the opening of the York and Scarborough line, on the advantages arising from railways. A resolution in favour of the line, proposed by Mr. HART LEY, and seconded by Mr. W. WESTWOOD, was then carried unanimously. Mr. CurirELL stated that peo ;le who were at first opposed to the line now began to regard it favourably. It would save the island Ss. a ton in coals. Mr. LANXESTER prefaced the next resolution in a speech of some length expressive of satisfaction at the intimation of the Directors that they would employ Isle of Wight labour in the construction of the line. The CHAIRMAN stated that letters had been received from Messrs. T. G. Anderson, Mr. A. Bigwnod, Mr. G. Cham bers, Dr. Greenhead, Mr. Fidler, and Mr. Goulding, owners of ,:onsiderable property in Ventnor, declaring their assent to the line. A petiti in, on the motion of Mr. T. B.Roemsoiv, seconded by Mr. MITCHELL, was again to be presented to the Huse by the Members for Hants and the Isle of Wight. Thanks, on the motion of Captain HADFIELD, seconded by Mr. F. JONES, were given to the promoters of the lme. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON. ANDOVER, FRlDAY.—Yesterday a meeting of the inha bitants of Andover was held in the Town-hall, pursuant to a requ sition most numerously and respectably signed, ealling upon the Mayor to convene a meeting, for the purpose of con sidering the advantages likely to arise to the neighbourhood by the projected line from Manchester to Southampton, which is intended to pass through the valley of Avon, close by the town of Andover. Mr. WALKINSHAW, one of the deputation, explained the route of the proposed line, and enlarged upon the advantages it was calculated to confer on the south-western parts of England, by connecting them with the manufacturing districts of Man chester and the north. To Andover it would give an easy and ready access for the population to the neighbouring markets, and the several fairs in the vicinity, including the important annual marts of Appleshaw and Weyhill. For some years these places, the depots of agricultural produce, had been in a state of decadence, but it only required the means of more frequent intercourse to prove that that would become the principal point at which western and northern commerce would centre. Mr. ETWALL, 51. P. for the borough, moved the first resolu tion in favour of the line, illustrating its commercial and agri cultural advantages in a short address. Mr. ROBERT FOOTNER seconded the resolution, which was carried by acclamation, as were others, proposed and supported by Messrs. Mortimer, Stebbing, and others. NORTH WALES AHNERAL. CassTER, AuG. 29.—The Proprietors in the North Wales Mineral Railway, held their half-yearly general meeting to day in this city. The chair was taken by William Wardell, Esq. The law clerk (Mr. Kelsall) read the report of the Direc tors, which stated that the extension of the line to Ruabon, and the mineral districts of Brymbo and Minera would render it necessary to lay down double rails throughout the line, for which purpose 90,0001. would be raised by new shares. In consequence of the rapid progress of the works another call of 21. would be made. 'I he Directors had in contemplation the making additional branches into the mineral districts. Mr. Roy had been appointed resident Director at Chester. The receipts from the formation of the Company had been 69,0621., the expenditure 53,1651. IRISH LINES. DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA. DUBLIN, Aua. 28.—This day the usual half-yearly general meeting of Proprietors was held at the Company's house in Marlborough-street. Mr. George Hoyte, Deputy-chairman of the Company, was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN observed that the. Howth branch had been already put into the bands of Mr. Dargin and other competent contractors. It would be at once proceeded with, and opened next spring. Mr. ECKERSLEY then read the report of the Directors. After which Mr. Kinn read the financial report, when Mr. GRESHAM moved that the repurts be received and adopted. Mr. NicilotsoN, of Manchester, in seconding the motion, said in common with the Shareholders resident in Manchester, he had to express disappointment at the small amount of "goods traffic" which the Company possessed, and he had no doubt but the deficiency in that particular source of prosperity aro.e from the absence of proper facilities. Mr. BRODIGAN observed that the Directors were quite aware of the deficiency, and had already taken steps to encou rage " goods traffic" on the line. The report was then adopted. Mr. EVANS, of Manchester, moved the declaration of a dividend of 245. per share; Mr. SCOTT seconded this, and it was carried. Mr. D. KANE moved that 150,000/. should be raised by the issue of 60,000 new quarter shares, which was seconded by Mr. BUCHANAN, barrister, and carried unanimously. Mr. GKESHAM moved, and Mr. MooNEY seconded, a vote of thanks to Sir John M'Neill, the Company's engineer, which was carried amid applause. Sir Join; Ikl'lslErta. handed in a letter from Mr. Thomas Ord Lees, secretary to the General Post-office, expressive of the entire satisfaction of the Post-efface authorities of the general working of the Drogheda Railway. On no occasion had the mails been delayed in their transit to and from Dublin, nor had there been a single accident of any kind; and he (the writer) attributed that happy state of things to the perfect manner in which all the arrangements connected with the line were carried out. Mr. EVANS moved a resolution to the effect that every man building a house of the annual value of 30/. should have a free cket along the line. After some discussion the motion was carried, and the meeting separated.' SOUTHWARK ELECTION. MEETING OF SIR WILLIAM MOLESWORTH'S FRIENDS. The friends of Sir William Molesworth held a district meeting for St. Saviour's, Southwark, in the Queen's Head Tavern, High-street, last night. The large room was filled to overflowing. At half-past seven o'clock Sir William, accompanied by several members of his Committee, entered the room, and was greeted with enthusiastic cheering. Mr. COOPER having been called to the chair, pro posed an adjournment to the open air. The persons assembled consequently adjourned to the yard, and Sir WILLIAM addressed them from the bal cony. He said that this was the eighth meeting which he had attended in the borough, and at each he had felt it his duty to state his political principles, and at each, also, he had been received with kindness and applause. The real contest in that borough was between Mr. fil cher and himself, for it was preposterous to speak of the chances of Mr. Miall.—(Cheers.) his (Sir William's) Committee had just informed him that the majority of voters had declared in his favour, and that the sup porters of Mr. Miall were insignificant in the extreme. — (Cheers.) On the last evening Mr. Miall had, however, with a singular want of politeness, stated that this asser tion of his was a mere electioneering trick, and that he (Mr. Miall) was confident of success.—(No, no.) lie (Sir William Molesworth) would not retort upon Mr. Miall in his own rude strain, but he had already said that he should abide by the decision of the majority of the elec tors. Mr. Miall rejected this proposal, and why? He feared that the Liberal interest should prevail in the borough. If he (Sir W. Molesworth) could get Mr. Miall out of the field, he should defeat the Tory with ease, and save his own purse.—(A voice in the crowd, "2,0001.," laughter.) And if Mr. Miall would accede to his proposal to test the strength of their supporters, the Liberal interest would be secure, and he would be re turned as their representative.—(Cheers, and " You shall.") Yesterday evening there was a meeting held of the supporters of Mr. Miall, and Mr. Apsle) Pellatt, in the chair, said that no conscientious—no honest Dissenter could vote with him (Sir W. Moles worth). He was, he was happy to say, supported b) many Dissenters, and they would record their support by voting for him.—(Cheers.) But Mr. Apsley Pel latt branded all Dissenters as dishonest, who would not see with his eyes and hear with his ears. He (Sir W. Molesworth) would have that gentleman to study a little charity, for charity was the very essence of religion.— (Cheers.) His conduct was unbecoming a liberal and enlightened man, and he (Sir W. Molesworth) besought his friends to return those charges with a very different feeling ; he besought them to pardon those unjust accu sations on the Maynooth question, because the part) making them had forgotten in his zeal the wrongs and the deep-seated feelings of the Irish people.—(Great cheering.) His political career was already before them, and on every question—whether of home or fereige policy, whether as respected their institutions or their commerce—his votes jptd always been given on the Liberal side.—(Cheel, 'His votes were given among the first in the House of Commons in favour of those principles which had now forced themselves upon the attention even of Sir Robert Peel.—(Cheers.) That consummate Minister had compelled his followers to support his measures, and those measures had sapped the principles of monopoly and of class legislation to their foundations.—(Cheers.) If it were, therefore, the intention of the electors of that borough to support these measures ; if it were their intention to carry out this good fight, then they would vote for him in order to defeat the Tory candidate.—(Cheers.) He had always opposed the corn-laws, and as a necessary consequence he had always voted with his esteemed friend Mr. Vil liers. The Hen. Baronet then proceeded to dilate upon the advantages which would accrue to the country from the abolition of the corn-laws.—(Great cheering.) After some further remarks, Sir W. Molesworth expressed himself ready to answer any questions that might be asked of him. None being mooted by those present, Mr. A. B. CLARKE, in a few words, proposed the first resolution—" That in the opinion of this meeting it i 5 highly essential that the important and large consti tuency of Southwark should be represented in Parlia ment by a gentleman of higti character, Liberal prin ciples, and local connexion ; and that Sir W. Moles worth, Bart., from his political sentiments, his conduct during the nine years he sat in Parliament, and his con nexion with the borough, as owner of considerable pro perty, is in every respect highly qualified, and that this meeting, therefore, most cheerfully pledges itself to use every possible exertion to secure his return to Parlia ment." Mr. HowAno seconded the resolution. He was a conscientious Dissenter, but he had yet to learn that he should therefore cease to be a man and a patriot ; he was yet to learn that they should be dictated to by an other party ; and coinciding, as he did, in all the:senti ments expressed by Sir William Molesworth that night, it was deciiedly his intention to support him. If the) divided their strength they gave, in effeet, a vote for Mr. Filcher ; and if they returned the Tory candidate, were they not strengthening the hands of the State Church Establishment, and in the same degree weakening the power of Vie Dissenters of the country ? Mr. Pilcher claimed their votes because of his lengthen( d residence in the borough ; but he (Mr. Howard) knew au old apple-woman who was a longer resident than be.— (Cheers and laughter.) He would second the resolution with the utmost pleasure. The resolution was carried with the greatest enthusiasm, Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting adjourned. There were more than 1,200 persons assembled in the yard of the Queen's Head. MEETING OF MR. ➢HALL'S FRIENDS. A meeting of the electors and inhabitants of South wark favourable to the claims of Mr. Miall was held last evening, at Knighton's Assembly-rooms, Black friars-road. Shortly before eight Mr. Miall, attended by Mr. Pellatt, Mr. Day, and Mr. Garrett, entered tilt room and was received with considerable applause. Mr. A. PELLATT having been called to the chair, said that the remarks of Sir William Molesworth on the pre ceding evening proved he was inconsistent on the ques tion of the voluntary principle as opposed to Church endowment, and, inasmuch as that was a point upon which the electors decidedly and unanimously differed from him, he was unfit to be their representative ; and the result of the election would prove that the majority disavowed him and approved of the sentiments of Mr. Miall, whose triumphant success could no longer be doubted, as there were more than enough unpledged voters to secure his return.—(Cheers.) Mr. MIALL, who was again met with loud cheers, but mingled with not a little disapprobation, said that when men found they were weak in argument, they lost their temper, and endeavoured to bully. Those who had first induced the " Liberal " candidate to come forward were now sending men to disturb their meetings. Many cir cumstances of the last few days had given him great encouragement, and perhaps none more so than the Morning Chronicle. That paper was a most ardent, persevering, and talented advocate of the so called " Liberal cause." It had received large wages, and so it had worked well, and its services and gratitude to its employers had been most exemplary. There was no hole of darkness into which it would not creep, no corner of trickery and duplicity into which it would not enter, for the sake of pandering to and serv ing its party. It was no wonder, therefore, that, look ing at Southwark through the medium of Leicester, the proprietors of the Morning Chronicle should feel alarmed, and he could not but'congratulate himself that it had now come out with a charge that he was allied with the Tories.—(Bursts of laughter.) He wished to do all honour to the reporters of the press who had attended his meetings. The various speeches he had made h a d been sketched at once with ability, impartiality, and genuine integrity. Occasionally an inaccuracy had crept in, but that he attributed rather to his own than the reporter's fault. These inaccuracies, however few and trifling, had been seized on by Sir W. Molesworth with an avidity which did him credit—he made quite merry upon them. Now he (Mr. Miall) would not con descend to such trickeries, but he would repeat the ques tion which last evening he distinctly put, whether, when Sir H. Peel put forward his Irish policy, Sir W. Moles worth would propose the withdrawal of the Maynooth grant, the endowment of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, and all appropriation of the revenues of the State to ecclesiastical purposes ?—(Cheers.) Sir Wm. Molesworth would not do that, he would.—(Cheers.) He had been also ridiculed by this " Liberal" candi date with being an " impracticable " man. He was impracticable so far as that gentleman's party was concerned ; but he was perfectly able to test the spirit of the House of Commons, and it was a prac tical thing to expose the dishonesty of the Whig party. No wonder Sir W. Molesworth disapproved of the vo luntary principle, for he had six livings in his own pre. sentation. Let not the Dissenters be duped, if the " Liberal" candidate would only show his true colours, he would be the abhorrence of them all.—(Loud cheers.) As to the question of lessening the hours of labour, he warned them not to trust to Parliaments or Govern ments, but to themselves and their trades-unions. Not• withstanding the rage of :the Morning Chronicle, he as sured the meeting he would continue his struggle to the last hour ; and if the electors were only true to their principles, he should be triumphantly returned their member.=(Loud cheers.) In answer to several questions, Mr. MIALL expressed his abhorrence of capital punishment, and of any legisla tive interference respecting the observance of the Sabbath. A vote of confidence in Mr. Miall, and of thanks to the Ch airman, was proposed and carried, and the meet ing separated. MEETING OF MRVILCIIER'S FRIENDS. Last night the friends and supporters of this gentle man held a second meeting, at the Europa Tavern, Ro therhithe, which was rather fully attended. Mr. Sbaw occupied the chair on the occasion. The. CHAIRMAN introduced Mr. Pilcher to the meet ing in a lengthened address, being principally a contrast of the merits of the three candidates. Mr. Miall, he said, according to his own showing, had no claim to represent the borough, as being without rank, party connexions, or reputation. He (Mr. Miall) was also the advocate of doctrines of a dangerous character. He was for universal suffrage and vote by ballot. The one, according to his definition, would allow every person in prison to exer cise the suffrage previous to a conviction ; and the latter would introduce into the country those corruptions se cret voting had produced in France. He was also against all qualification of a property kind for Members of Parliament, so that persons without character and sub stance might be elected. Sir William Molesworth was the next candidate, whom he (the Chairman), in the lan guage of Hudibras, would characterise as " A haberdasher in small wares, In politics and state affairs ;" who, when in Parliament, had spoke on almost every question, but effected nothing. The only claim he could advance, founded on his previous Parliamentary career, was his regular support of the odious New Poor-law.— (Cries of " No, no," and "Yes, yes.") The prize for which these parties were contending was the borough of Southwark, but lie hoped the independent electors would come forward and rescue it from both.—(Hear, hear.) They had it in their power to do so by electing the re maining candidate he had to introduce to their notice, Mr. Pilcher.—(Cheers.) Mr. Filcher was a well-known man—one of their own townsmen. He was a friend of the poor, an opponent of the New Poor-law, and a sup porter of the Protestant faith.—(Cheers.) The honour able gentleman concluded by introducing Mr. Filcher. Mr. FILCHER was received with groat cheering on rising to address the meeting. He thought it was hard to be told that out of from 5,000 to 6,000 electors in the borough they had not a man who could represent them, and therefore they must send for a stranger. It was this which had induced him to come forward, for had any other gentleman amongst them, will was better qualified to represent their wants and wishes offered himself, he should not have done so. He was known to them all. He carried on business amongst them, and expended large sums of money in the employment of the labouring classes. He knew their wants and interests as a com mercial constituency, and if elected would do his best to advance them.—(Cheers.) Docks and ttharfs were in contemplation, which would make Southwark equal i❑ shipping accommodation to the city of London, and these should rt ceive his studious attention, and interest, and support. He was against the harsh provisions of the New Poor-law, and would do his utmost to have them modified, consistent with the dictates of humanity.- -(Hear, hear.) He was a Protestant, and as such would defend that faith against the encroachments of Popery. He would have voted against the Maynooth grant had he been in Parliament, and if rqurned would support any proposition for its repeal. The other points on which he had declared himself were fully given in his address, arid need not be gone over in detail then. He concluded by expressing himself willing to answer any question that the electors might think fit to put. He was severally questioned on the corn-laws, the suff rage, the pension list, and triennial Parliaments. In answer to the first, he said he would alter the corn-laws as far as possible consistent with existing interests, as he was for a cheap loaf. Ile was willing to extend the suffrage as far as it was expedient so as to include the honest and industrious classes. He would do away with all un merited pensions, and make merit the foundation of a public grant, as in the case of Sir Henry Pottinger. He had not made up his mind on triennial Parliaments, but the subject should have his best consideration, and he would be guided by his constituents in the matter. Dr. MIMING, Chairman of the Horselydown Loyal Conservative Association, moved a resolution to the effect that Mr. Filcher was a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament. Mr. GRISENTHWAITE seconded it, when it was put and carried by acclamation. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, and three cheers for Mr. Filcher, the meeting separated.

LAW INTELLIGENCE PALACE COURT, WESTMINSTER, Aug. 29. (Before Mr. W. B. 13aENT.) The first applications under the Small Debts Act were heard to-day. Six summonses had been granted fur the attendance of debtors against whom judgment had been obtained in this Court. Three attended, and one did not ; the other two had not been served. ?Jo charge had been made in this Court for summonses, in consequence of a defect in the Act. It seems that applications have been made in the first instance to debtors, and, in a number of cases, settlements have been made without putting the machinery of the new law into operation. BR'SrANT V. BRIDGMAN. The debt in this matter was 141. 25. 6d., which with the costs amounted to 201. The plaintiff is a coal-merchant at Somerset.wharf, Strand, and the defendant a coal-dealer in Baldwin's-gardens, Gray's Inn-lane. The defendant detailed a series of misfortunes. He had a bad leg, his wife had fractured her skull, and one of his children had broken a thigh. He was now much distressed. The plaintiff declared that he had 5001. on his books of debts under 201., and could not get any part of them. Hi intimated that the defendant had not been steady in his business. It appeared that the defendant's father-in-law held a bill of sale for money borrowed, which was exhibited when an exe cution was levied at the suit of the plaintiff. It was urged that the bill of sale had defeated the creditor, and was an offence under the new law. The COURT, however, held that the case had not been proved, and in consequence of the misfortunes of the defendant dismissed the summons. In another case, a defendant who was summoned for a bread bill of N. 6s. Id., did not make his appearance, and an applica tion was made for his commitment for a period net exceeding forty days. The defendant had an income, and was in the habit of flitting about from place to place. The Learned JUDGE felt some reluctance to make an order of committal. It was the first case under the Act, and he much preferred giving the defendant another oppor tunity. It was contended that the Act was imperative. The de fendant had been personally served, and had the means of payment. The order of imprisonment would not extinguish the debt, and the interests of creditors required that it should be applied. The Learned JUDGE, after some discussion, deferred grant ing the warrnnt of commitment. He was aware tbat there were persons who would not pay without being sent to prison, and it was well that debtors should know that the power would be exercised. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAIM SION- HO USE. Four boys, named Sinclair, Denton, Davis, and Reed, were brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having committed robberies upon smaller boys. The prisoners, it appeared, had been long in the habit of neglecting their business as apprentices, and asso ciating with notoriously bad characters, and they at length determined to set up the business of thieving themselves. They thought that Bow fair would abound with opportunities of commencing the trade, and they accordingly determined to repair to that place of enter tainment. How to obtain the means of making a favour able commencement, however, was a serious question with them, for a little capital appeared to them to be indispensable, in order to enable them to "dodge" pro perly in the dramatic and drinking booths. It occurred to one of them that the most advisaLle course to be pur sued was that of "uncapping" boys of smaller growth, and selling the caps to the dealers in retticoat-lane. The prospect was at once eagerly embraced, and one of the newly-constituted gang ,rack '411) to a little fellow in Aldersg ite-street, whipped the cap off his head as if is play, gave him a dab %sith it over the oyes, and Waled down one of the narrow lanes in the neh,hbourhood, followed by his comrades, to the terror and confusion of the victim. Their next essay was upon a boy in the vicinity of Cheapside. In the exuberance of his fun, one of them seized the cap of a lad who was going to sehoo', and ran down a lane, with his comrade in his rear. An officer of police, however, observing that the race was not a le gitimate one, and perceiving that one of the prisoners was encumbered with a bundle, stopped the whole set, and took them to the station-house, where it was disco vered that the two caps had been stolen, and that one of the prisoners had robbed his mother of the clothes he had been in the habit of wearing on Sundays and holi days, for the purpose of going with eclat to Bow Fair. The Loan MAYOR said he should take time to con sider whether he should not order the prisoners to be well whipped, and remanded them. THE NEGOCIATOR FOR T HIE YES CHARGED WITH BIGAMY. Charles Maynard, the estate agent in Howland-street, was re-examined before Mr Alderman Hughes Hughes,at Guildhall, charged with attempting to negotiate the restoration of stolen goods fur a reward. Mr. Clarkson ; for the prosecution, said he proposed to go into the charge of bigamy against the prisoner. Collard, the superintendent of the Great Western Railway police, produced a certificate of the marriage of Charles Gregory Maynard with Sarah May, on the 23.1 of April, 1822, at Crip plegate Church. ' John James Daniel, of 50, Aldenham -street, Somers Town, a postman, was called to identify the prisoner as the person who was so married. He said he knew the Maynard who was mar ried there, but it was so long ago that he should not recognise the prisoner but for some corroboratory circumstances. The prisoner's appearance was quite altered. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes asked whose friend he was ? The witness replied he was Maynard's friend. Mr. Clarkson remi , .ded him that he signed the register book as a witness, and asked him if he did not know that the prisoner was the same person ?—The witness replied he thought he was, but he was much altered. He met the prisoner once about twelve months ago, and nodded to him, but their intimacy ceased soon after the marriage. Mr. Clarkson asked how long he was acquainted with the prisoner ?—The witness said it was about a year. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes remarked that he seemed to be trifling with the Court when he professed to be uncertain. He warned him to be careful. Mr. Clarkson required the prisoner to remove his spectacles, and telling the witness to make allowance for an advance of 20 years of age, again pressed him to say whether he was positive the prisoner was the person who married Sarah May or not ? The witness at last said he had no doubt he was the person. He saw the wife last Saturday week at the last examination of the prisoner. Mr. Clarkson prayed that the witness should find sureties for his appearance to give evidence upon the trial. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes, after making some inquiries about the witness, consented to take his own recognisance for his appearanee ; but recommended him to give his evidence in a very different manner on the next occasion. Miss Harriet Alaxtead, the second wife, was :then examined. She is a respectable-looking young woman, and cried much while she was giving her evidence. Mr. Clarkson promised to spare her feelings as much as he could, and to put as few questions as possible. She stated that she had been acquainted with the prisoner about a year. He represented himself to be a single man, and she consented to marry him. They were marri e d at and hurst Church, in Kent, on the 30th of July last. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes asked if he obtained any money from her ?—She said she gave him what she had freely. He had borrowed a little before their marriage. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes inquired the total amount? —She said she had not kept an account, but it was about 501. The prisoner declined putting any questions to the witnesses. He was not prepared to meet the charge, because he was not aware the other charges against him would be abandoned. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes asked who had told him the other cases were abandoned ?—The prisoner replied, it appeared to be so. Mr. Prance said he did not abandon his case respecting the negotiation for the return of his writing-case and bills of exchange. The prisoner said he should furnish his counsel with circum stances connected with his first marriage, which he had no doubt would be considered when the matter came before a higher tribunal. That was all he deemed it prudent to say to the charge at present. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes remanded the prisoner on this charge for further evidence of identity. The prisoner's sister, Martha Maynard, whose address is un known, was the secon d witness, besides the postman, who signed the marriage register. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes then called upon Mr. Clark son to proceed with the other cases. Mr. Clarkson said he was prepared with the additional evi dence of Mr. Clarke, the principal superintendent of the Great Western Railway, in the case of the bills stolen from that rail way ; but with regard to the second charge of alike nature, and which he Lad before mentioned, and to which he should not more particularly allude now, he had no instructions to press the case further. Mr. Nash, the clerk to Messrs. Swain, Stevens, and Co., begged to withdraw from being a witness in the first case. He thought there was evidence enough without him. Mr. Prance considered Mr. Nash a material witness. Mr. Nash explained the grounds of his reluctance. Two members of the firm by whom ho was employed thought he had exceeded his duty in giving the prisoner into custody, and that no case could be made out against him. As they considered he had acted improperly in making the charge, he begged to withdraw from the prosecution. Mr. Prance explained, that the desk containing the railway scrip which was to be the subject of the second charge, was stolen from the Birmingham Railway, and the Company ain peered to be desirous to break up the gang of railway robbers, till it was discovered that two solicitors, who had taken part in obtaining restoratit n of the property, would make an awkward figure in the witnacta-hnie A poroon who had boon taken into custody, but not brought before a magistrate, was then libe rated, the charge was stifled, and the result was, that an action had been brought against Mr. Nash, Collard, the officer, and himself (Mr. Prance), for false imprisonment. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes expressed his regret at hear ing such a statement. He considered the first case made out a strong case, and he should certainly commit the prisoner upon trial upon that. Mr. Nash had important evidence to give, and he should at once secure his attention by binding him over in a heavy penalty to appear and give evidence. Mr. Nash, so far from deserving censure for misconduct, had displayed great in telligence and zeal throughout the business. A railway com pany should be the last to sanction any compromise, or check the discovery of the thieves and receivers, and the public con fidence in such companies would be proportionably diminished as their conduct was disgraceful. Whatever Messrs. Swain and Co. might think of the case, the truth remained the same, and he should persist in committing Maynard for the attempt to compromise the felony ; and if Mr. Prance chose to undertake the prosecution of the other case, he should have process to compel the attendance of any and all the witnesses he could name. Mr. Prance felt disposed to accept the Alderman's sugges tion, and said he would consider of the subject before the next examination. He handed up to the Alderman copies of the correspondence that had passed relative to the apprehension and liberation of a person named Wareham, who had not been brought before the Magistrate. The evidence of Mr. Stanley Clarke, identifying the hand writing of three letters which have already been printed, was then taken, and the prisoner was remanded for further exami nation on the 12th of September. The following is one of the letters contained in the corre spondence handed to the Magistrate : " To Charles Russell, Esq., Chairman of the Great Western Railway Company. " Aug. '25. Morley's Hotel, Trafalgar- square. " Sir—lt perhaps has not escaped your attention that in the month of July last I had, under peculiar circumstances, a writing• case, containing property to a considerable amount, stolen from me when a passenger on your line, and that an attempt was made by a regular thief's agent to procure a sum of money for the restoration of it, which ultimately led to the apprehension of this agent, who underwent examination at Guildhall. At the last examination a remand was applied for by Mr. Clarkson, the counsel for your Company, on the ground that certain intelligence had been obtained of a robbery in which this agent recovered 180/. for the restoration of a parcel stolen from the premises of the London and Birmingham Rail way, and, under the advice of Mr. Clarkson, Messrs. and are summoned to give evidence of their having compro mised this Birmingham case, for the payment to Maynard of 1501. " To my astonishment I have received a letter from your solicitors, that in consequence of Mr. Mills, one of your directors, having, at the instance of Messrs. - and - interposed to prevent the exposure of Messrs. -, the Birmingham ease is not to be proceeded with, and that there fore the present opportunity, of such immense importance to the public at large (of breakihg up, as there is abundant evidence to prove, of an organised gang of systematic robbery of luggage on railways) is to be utterly lost. Your solicitors have intimated to me that under existing circumstances it will be hardly worth while to proceed against Maynard. " I perhaps may he allowed to mention that since the last remand another person has been apprehended upon satis factory evidence and under the advice of Mr. Clarkson, and whose arrest would necessarily have led to important dis closures. This person has, since the interposition of Messrs. -, through Mr. Mills, been discharged, and he has brought, I find, an action against me and others fur false imprisonment. " I leave all these facts to your superior judgment, and should be glad to hear from you on Wednesday morning; but I may perhaps be allowed to suggest that the public will hardly be satisfied to allow the case to be so lightly passed over merely to screen Messrs - from the consequences (if any) of their connexion with Maynard. " I have the honour, &c., " VAUGHAN PRANCE." The answer to this letter does not appear in the correspond ence, but Mr. Prance received an intimation from the soli citors that they intended to proceed in his case, and one of the partners in the firm would prosecute the charge of bigamy. TREATMENT OF RAILWAY PAS- SENGERS Yesterday Mr. James Lee, a tradesman residing in Brydges street, Covent-garden, applied to Mr. Henry, at Lambeth Police -court, for his advice and assistance under the following circumstances : Mr. Lee stated that last Sunday week Mrs. Lee and himself went to visit a friend in the neighbourhood of Walton, Surrey, and had obtained two day tickets at Nine Elms for Walton station, for which he paid 2s. Bd. each, as second class fare. On arriving at NI alton, one of the porters on duty there cut off a part of the ticket in the usual way, leaving them one portion with which to return by in the evening. On coming back to the same station in the evening, he (Mr. Lee) looked out for the same man that had cut the tickets in the morning, and requested he would procure them a place in the second-class carriage in the train then about to start. The man said, " Follow me," and Mrs. Lee and himself accordingly followed him the whole length of the train, when he exclaimed that all the second-class carriages were full, and returning a short distance along the train, the porter pointed to a first-class carriage and desired them to get into it, which they did, and the train proceeded towards town. On arriving at the Nine Elms station an officer , came round to re ceive the tickets, and a few minutes after he had given up his the officer came back to him and told him that they had travelled by the wrong carriage, and that they must accompa n y him to the inspector's office. They complied, and on reaching the office they , were surrounded by a number of the Company's servants, and, though he calmly explained the whole of the cir cumstance, they detained them twenty-five minutes, and told him that unless he chose to pay 2s. Bd. additional fare they should be taken to the station-house. He protested against his improper detention,;as well as the demand for additional fare, and refused to pay the latter, conceiving It to be an imposition, but Mrs. Lee becoming alarmed at the threat of being sent to the station, he, at her entreaties, paid the additional demand, and was allowed to depart. He was told, however, that if he had any complaint to make, it should he received and consi dered of by the managing directors. He called at the sta tion on the following day, when he saw Mr. Stavin, the BIRTHS. On the 26th of August, at Plymstock, Devon, the lady e f Captain Kuper, R.N., C. 8., of a son. O❑ the 27th of August, at Champion-hill, the wife of T• H. Bothamley, Esq., of a daughter. On the 27th of August, at Upper Tulse-hill, Mrs. Francis Becheley Ede. of a son. On the 28th of August, Mrs. T. J. Clarke, of Park -villag e East, Regent's-park, of a son. superintendent of the traffic department, and a printed form was placed before him by that gentleman, who re quested him to fill in, in writing, the nature of the circum stances attending his complaint. He did so, and was told he should hear from the Company on the subject. Some days after he received a communication, and in consequence of it he again called at Nine Elms, when he was informed that the officer at the Walton station had denied the truth of his (Mr. Lee's) statement, and that nothing further could be done in the matter. He urged the injustice that had been done to hiss through the act, alone, of the Company's own officer, and also the injustice of compelling him to pay eight shillings, the first class fare both ways, when it must have been quite apparent from the tickets which he had delivered up, that both himself and Mrs. Lee had gone down by a second-class carriage. His representation, however, was to no purpose ; he was again told that nothing more could be done, and that if he wanted to pro ceed farther in the matter, he must go to the Company's so licitors in Bedford-row. Mr. Lee deemed it to be but an act of justice towards himself, as well as one of duty towards the public, to seek redress for the injury, and the object of his pre sent application was to know whether his Worship possessed the power as a magistrate to assist him, and, if not, to request his advice how he was to obtain redress. Mr. Henry—l am much afraid I have no power to inter. fere or assist you. However, I will look over the Act, and see whether I have any jurisdiction in the matter. Mr. Henry here looked over various clauses in the volumi nous Act, and after doing so said it was as he had expected, that he had no power to interfere in the matter. Mr. Lee—Does your worship think I can make a debt of it, and summons the officer of the company who demanded and received the additional 2s. Bd. to the Court of Requests ? Mr. Henry—l think not. Your only remedy would be by action. Mr. Lee—lt's a formidable affair to go to law with such body as the directors of the company, and so the officers must have thought when they referred me to their solicitor ; hut still it's very provoking to have been served as I have been merely through the blunder, if it may be called so, of the company's own servant. Mr. Henry—The present is the first oomplaint that has been made of the Company or their officers since this Court has been opened, and I must say, from what I have seen of the officers when attending here on business, that they appeared to me to evince every disposition to civility and attention. I think that, under the circumstances, I should give them an opportu nity of answering your complaint, and with this ♦iew shall send to the Secretary of the Company to request his attendance, or the attendance of some other competent officer, to give some explanation of the matter at this Court on Monday or Tuesday next. In the interim I will have an opportunity of looking into the various clauses of the Act of Parliament, and will be better able to say whether, while it afforded every protection to the Company itself against frauds and improprieties of all sort., it also afforded equal protection to the public. Mr. Lee expressed his thanks to the Magistrate for his kind ness and attention, t.nd said he should appear again when required. Mr. Murphy, the Mexican Minister, transacted busi ness yesterday at the Foreign- office. Mr. Greville had an interview with Sir James Graham yesterday, at the Homc-office.
