The great principal on which the projectors of this important scheme have acted, is the establishment of a direct line of commu nication between Birmingham and Birkenhead, by the nearest pos sible route, and at the smallest possible outlay. To effect this object, it is proposed to make use either of the Grand Junction, or the Bir mingham, Dudley, and Wolverhampton Railway, as for as Wolver hampton, and thence to throw out a new line in as straight a direction as possible to Chester, where a junction will be formed with the rail way already existing between that city and Birkenhead. A most important saving of distance will thus be effected. It is obvious that such a scheme is fraught with consequences of the highest possible import to th 4 commercial interests of the respec tive districts. The growing prosperity of Birkenhead even now de mands a more direct communication with the midland, southern, western, and eastern counties ; and when her magnificent docks shall be completed, and the town itself shall have arrived at its destined greatness, this line will take a prominent position among the most lucrative of these undertakings. The Directors, therefore, conscious ofthe great traffic which will flow from the densely populated termini, propose to construct this line in as straight a direction as possible, and thereby secure the immense through traffic which will resort to this railway for shortness and expedition, from the great manufacturing and agricultural districts of South Staffordshire, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Worcester, Hereford shire, Monmouthshire, Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Northamp tonshire, and in fact the whole of the eastern counties, as well as from London and the important districts to the south, east, and west of the:metropolis. Irrespective of the immense population of the termini, it is evident that this projected line commends itself to the entire inhabitants of the counties already referred to. The scheme also possesses this fur ther and great advantage—that it will, in reality, form a shorter and mare direct line to the neighbourhood of Liverpool and the district adjacent, than any which has hitherto been projected ; and by means of the contemplated line ftom Chester to Holyhead, it will open the shortest possible route from London to Ireland, and thereby avoid the delay and inconvenience of a protracted sea voyage. A cursory inspec tion of the map of England, and a reference to the plan of this line will also show that the Trent Valley, London and Birmingham, Birmingham and Gloucester, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, as well as the projected Staffordshire and Shropshire Railways, will necessarily be valuable tributaries to this important line of railway. The line to be constructed by this Company will commence at Wolverhampton, and proceed through an agricultural district, by way of Market Drayten to Chester ; and although in its direct course It may not pass through many towns of importance, the engineering difficulties of every other route will be avoided, and powerful local influence brought into co-operation, with this Company. In the fbrmation of this line the extensive iron district of Lllleshall has been especially regarded ; and by means of the facilities of transit afforded by-this Company, the lronmasters if South Stafford shire will be enabled to compete with the Scotch market, which they have hitherto been unable to do in consequence of the heavy charges for freight. The Provisional and Managing Committee are in the course of selection, and will be published in a few days, with other particulars. Applications for Shares to be made to Mr. W. S.

Stourbridge--Messrs. Hunt, Price, and Harward.' This important line of railway is forty-two miles in length; will commence at the railway station of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, at Kidderminster, and will proceed from thence, by way of Tenbury and Leominster, to Hereford, where it will join the Hereford and Monmouth, and all the other lines of rail way which converge from Hereford, and ran into the west of Eng land, and the immensely populous coal, iron, and copper districts of South Wales, and the important district of central Wales. The intended railway will, by means of its connexion with the Derbyshire, Worcestershire, and Staffordshire Junction, and that portion of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton which runs ttom Dudley to Kidderminster, complete the great chain or railway communication between the clothing districts of Yorkshire, the coal and iron ore districts of Derbyshire and Staffordshire, and the large mineral districts of South Wales. At Tenbury it will form a junc tion with the Worcester and Porthdynllaen intended railway, and will be the only means of enabling Birminghsm, Wolverhampton, Wedneabory, Walsall, Coventry, Dudley, Stourbridge, and the other surrounding towns, to avail themselves of the great outlet from Eng- And to Ireland by means of Porthdynllaen, the future outport for It will likewise form the nearest route to the north of England, Manchester. and Liverpool from South Wales, and bs a direct line from the centre of Wales Into the midland counties. Thus the coats and other minerals, and the extensive and constantly increasing Ironworks of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and Derbyshire, the ma nufactures of Lancashire and Yorkshire, the saltworks of Cheshire and Worcestershire, and the agricultural produce of Wales, Hereford shire, South Shropshire, will have a direct and cheap transit. This railway is essential to complete the dli ect east and west traffic. The traffic of the populous districts embraced by the under taking will afford sufficient remuneration to the shareholdeee, and a vast augmentation of revenue, which will arise from the through truffle, will make the stook of the Company produce nine per cent. So convinced was an important railway company of the great traffic which would run upon this line, that they bought up the pro moters of a similar undertaking at a considerable expense. The line is free from engineering difficulties, and the gradients are highly favourable. The Directors reserve the power of adopting the atmospheric principle and wide gauge, if approved of. The prefer oince will be given in the allotment of shares to persons locally inte .7ested in the line, and no shares will be appropriated except to per yons who shall give satisfactory references.

Every one you meet at this time of the year seems to shirk being seen, avoids you as he would a Dun, or the master of ceremonies at a watering place ; and if you stop him he drawls about the dullness of town, and declares that he is only passing through on his way to his shooting quarters. Now, it is all very fine to descant upon the emptiness of London, but the fact, is, there are of railway directors alone at present in town sufficient to people a moderate metropolis ; and the exertions of the tradespeople augur no diminution of their habitual business. The front of Barry's shop in Picca dilly still teems with piles of those costly luxuries which would make even Quintin Matsy's misers loose their purse strings, and scarce any of those fairy-like fabrics which abound in his shop are to be found there on the following day. Amongst his most re cen t i mpor t at i ons i s a writing , table, on whic lie all appliances and means for authorship or correspondence—and all this looks " stationary" enough, to borrow a time honoured jeu de mots, but in the middle a por tion of the table is lifted up and reveals an elegant jardinier e Then he has numbers of couteaux poignards set with st„ , ivory -carved prayer books, with miniatures of chr 4act „, whose praise has been hymned in sacred song, arl. although designed each and all all of • these things come from abroad, they ar s"..iio abhor buying designed by Barry himself, so that peo of reflecting that foreign goods may have• the satisfactio Of Browne's magnifi they are encouraging native talent. and articles of vertu, of cent e v e ry s collection z ad of de s er marbles , ipti 0 i p t a p i n t, t a i o n v - Is us again to speak, and again to recommend our re :tiers to visit his s pl en did reposi tory of works of art ; and a:ie take this opportunity of renew ing our exhortations to them to driv e u p an d pass a morning in University-streets lest the advice which we gave them on this subject sow, weeks since should have passed unheeded during the btlitle and hurry of the waning season. Mr. Browne's establishment is the storehouse of art ; every country and every age since the time of Phidias and Praxiteles has furnished its quota towards this superb collection. The chefs d'auvre of art seem to have assembled here by mutual agreements, in order to enable the "artists in stone" (as Bulwer says), and other more perish able materials, to improve their tastes by the contemplation of these accumulated beauties. We shall hardly be accused of descending from the sublime to the ridiculous, if we pass on in re vestiarih, and take a turn round Doudney's show-rooms in Bond-street or the Bur lington -arcade. The Doudney Brothers are indeed "Arcades Ambo" themselves, and have done well to take up their abode in an arcadian quarter, instead of wasting their well-cut coats and quaint variety of waistcoats upon the desert air of Lom bard-street. Their short cloaks, with the wide sleeves, are making a great sensation, and next winter we shall see all the best-dressed men of the day encasing their persons in these graceful garments. They have already received the meed of royal approbation, but their merits and utility will do more for securing the general adoption, even, than the illustrious patronage which they enjoy. Meantime, Doudney's confrere, or perhaps we should say competitor, Becker aine, the Schnei der of the Rue Neuve des. Petits Champs, is not idle, but exercises his inventive powers to, the utmost in designing new fashions for the fastidious Parisians. The goats jaunes who flaunt and flicker a b ou t th e B oulevards and Bois de Boulogne are mostly indebted to Becker aine for their gay attire, and he rarely fails in pleasing even the most exigeant and fastidious of his customers. The habit of paying tailors, which had long fallen into desuetude in Paris, has of late been revived in this ever-changing eamelion capital, and the prospect of payment has filled Becker with inspira tions which far surpass his previous unpaid proceedings, Paris, with all its pleiVantries, makes time so gallop withal. that it is absolutely necessary to have a good clock or watch to note the fleeting hours ; now, M. Capt, of the Rue d'Alger , can supply this n ecessary appendage as well, perhaps better' than his horological colleagues, and certainly none can com pete with him in cheapness. M. Capt does not rely upon his flighty countrymen for obtaining that accuracy in his time piece which has secured for him such wide-spread fame, but trusts entirely to his workmen at Geneva, where he has an extensive establishment, in which strict attention is paid to all the details of the most minute mechanism.—Post. GREAT SEIZURE of CONTRABAND GOODS. A very large seizure has been made by Mr. G. Scanlon AP?, Mr. D. 11 Watson, searchers of the Customs, and Mr. C. At kinson Davis, an e xtremely,vigilant and active officer, acting under them for the last few days. In consequente of informa asschedes, wanitdhoaultsrpgaeymannttitoyfotfhF,rerZthnmtohseaiocffiac-erskplivaol' tion received by Davis that a vast number of" Roman cameos for r en br r or ceeded to the house of a person who called himself Beanvert to the' David, in the City-road, a stone-merchant, and after a slight search, found on the premises 1,610 cameos, of the value of 1,400/, several enamel portraits, mosaic brooches, & c ., amount in value of 290/. They seized the goods for non-' payment of duty, amounting to the sum of 3231. 10d. Id., very much to the discomfiture of Mr. David. They afterwards proceeded, following up the information, to the knise of a person named Marvi, whom they knew to be a constant passenger in steamers between Boulogne and les:Eldon, and who resides near Golden-square, where they made a seizure of 73 cameos, of the value, duty included, of 2001. 18s. Upon further and more particular search they found in the possession of Marvi certain documents, the exa mination of which induced them to visit the house of a person of the name of Creutzer, in Middleton-street, Clerkenwell. They had not gone far in the gratification or their curiosity in this place, before they laid their hands upon cameos which were considered, including the duty, to be worth 1,8641. Upon the premises of the first-named contraband dealer they laid their hands upon the boxes in which the above mentioned articles had been smuggled over, and upon ques • tioning Mr. Cre u t zer an d t h e man who styled himself Beauvot David, and who it appeared has also the name of Coppa, and was in charge of the premises in which the cameos were found, the latter stated that they had been delivered to him by an unknown agent. The same answer was given by Mr. Creutzer and Mr. Marvi, and all three were evidently in the same state of preparation, in case of emergency. One of the officers, in rumaging Mr. Creutzer 's private transactions, pulled out a day-book, which had been kept only since February last, and in the middle of the book were entries of goods which Creutzer haditeceived to the amount of 214,000 francs, which had been brought into his custody without payment of duty, as was palpable from the fact that he could only produce bills and receipts for the payment of duty on such goods. as bad been seized to the value of the paltry sum of 10/. It may be supposed that the officers examined the books of Mr. ereutzer with no small degree of curiosity. After a little while they perceived an entry which led them to the house of a very well-known and dashing jewellery concern in Cornhill, where they laid their unhallowed hands upon 73 cameos, set in gold, of the value of about 2001. The officers are proceeding with an unerring scent, and their success will, it is believed, be enormous.

The Right Honourable Sir Nicholas Conyngham Tyndal, Knt., Lord Chi e f J ust i ce of her Majesty's Court of Common Pleas, has appointed Henry Kent Norris, of Devizes, in the county of Wilts, Gent., to be one of the Perpetual Commissioners for taking the acknowledgments of deeds to be executed by married women, under the Act passed for the Abolition of fines and recoveries, and for the substitution of more simple modes of assurance, in and for the county of Wilts. Alderman SIDNEY entertained a different opinion - as far as regarded Christ's Hospital at any rate, for the Governors of that institution had manifested the strongest dispOgithill to show a total disregard for the authority d the Lord Mayor. Alderman WlLsozr vould hot be silent when he saw so plainlo- attempts made to take away the privileges of the Corporation. — (Hear, hear.) It was hi s firm opinion that. the only place in which the question could be settled, was in a court of law, and he trusted that an appeal would be made as soon as possible to that authority.—(Hear, hear.) The motion was then ageed to, and the Court adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Daniel Garrett, who stands charged with having com mitted several robberies at railway termini, was further ex amined before Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes. Mr. Alder man Lucas and the Lord Mayor elect were also On the bench. Mr. Clarkson attended with Mr. Nash, from Messrs. Swain and Co.'s, to prosecute on behalf of the Great Western Rail way, the South Western Railway, and the Brighton Railway; Mr. Humphreys attended to support three or four charges on the part of the Birmingham Railway; and Mr. Thwaites appeared en behalf of the prisoner. Since the last examination great exertions had been used by advertising the property found at the prisoner's lodgings, and otherwise, to procure additional evidence. Mr. Clarkson stated, in opening the case, that besides showing that the prisoner was the person who stole Mr. Prance's letter-case, for receiving which Maynard had been already committed, he proposed to charge him with stealing some property belonging to Dr. Daniel, a medical gentleman residing at Bath, and to Mr. Winter, of Motcombe-street. It would be remembered, that Mr. Prance's loss occurred on the dth of July, and that on the 12th he received an anonymous letter that his letter-case and contents were safe, and might be recovered for a liberal reward. By showing' that this letter was in the hand writing of the prisoner, he should fix him with the posses sion of the property four days after it was stolen. On the 18th a second anonymous letter was sent, complaining that no attention had been paid to the first, and requiring a reward to be immediately advertised, or the property would be placed out of the control of the writer. An advertisement was ac cordingly published on the 23d of July, which produced a third letter from the anonymous correspondent, stating that his agent was at Sandhurst, and would write to Mr. Prance. This introduced the agent, Maynard, upon the scene, who produced th e stolen property. He should prove these three letters to be in the handwriting of the prisoner, by calling Captain Culpepper, in whose service the prisoner was for a time. He should show that the prisoner visited Maynard in the Compter the day after he was apprehended, and that when the prisoner was taken into custody he made that desperate resistance which might be expected from a man who wal Wriscious that he was deeply involved. Mr. Clark so: adverted to a miserable device which had been resorted to by some of the prisoner's friends or companions, who had sent to the females of Mr. Nash's family a letter containing dreadful threats, if he pursued his charges against the pri soner. It would completely fail in jts object, for Mr. Nash would persist in endeavouring to the utmost to bring to jus tice not only the prisoner, but all his compa nions . Captain Culpeppe r , of Stanhope-street, was then sworn. He said the prisoner was in his service as butler for the sea son of 1843. He saw his handwriting, but not frequently; but he had a recollecticn of his hand, and had received a let ter from him respecting giving him a character. Cross-examined b3i Mr. Thwaites—He used to disburse small sums occasionally, and make out bills, which witness settled and tore up. Never saw the prisoner write, and did not swear to his writing. Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES said no person swears to hand writing, they only swear to their belief. Captain Culpepper said that was exactly the case. To the best of his belief two of the letters produced were written by the prisoner. To the other he could not speak. Cross-examined—He received a good character of the pri soner from Lord Falkland, and gave the prisoner a good cha racter when he discharged him. Had never seen him write. Could not say that he was able to write, or that the bills tha prisoner brought to him had not been written by one of his fellow-servants; but he presumed the letter was written by prisoner, and it was from that letter he spoke more particu larly as to the prisoner's handwriting, because the prisoner said it was his writing. Joseph Collard, the superintendent, was next examined. He said the prisoner resisted with great violence till Mr. Nash spoke of pistols. Among the things he found at the pri soner's lodgings was a pencil-case with a chequered wafer -tamp at the end, which corresponded with the seal on the three letters produced. Mr. Clarkson said this served to fix upon the prisoner the writing of the letter, respecting which the captain expressed a doubt. Mr. Thwaites said it did no such thing. These pencil cases were manufactured by the gross exactly alike. Collard continued—He apprehended Maynard on the sth of August, and on the 6th he saw the prisoner come out of the Giltspur-street Compter, where Maynard was. George Edis Evans, a turnkey at the Compter, identified the prisoner as a person who had an interview with Maynard on the 6th. The prisoner gave his name as John Smith for entry in the visitor's book. Maynard was short of money, and the prisoner told him he might have 5/. if he liked. The prisoner replied, a sovereign would be sufficient, and it was given to witness to put to his account, prisoners, before con viction, having the option to support themselves. The pri soner and Maynard appeared to be well acquainted. Mr. Nash deposed to finding some pieces of paper in the grate at Maynard's house, in Howland -street, which, upon being pasted together, appeared to be a rough draft and nearly a verbatim copy of the letter dated the 12th of July, which Captain Culpepper had identified as in the prisoner's writing. Louisa Liideman, of 19, Queen -street, Edgware-road, iden tified the prisoner as having lodged at her father's house till the, 12th of August, when he went away. She had seen Maynard in Newgate, and recognised him as a person who called four or five times to see the prisoner Garrett. May nard called within a week before he (Maynard) was appre hended. Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES asked Collard if he had ever seen the prisoner at the railway?—Collard replied he had not, but there were other persons who had. Mr. Clarkson said that was as far as he could carry that case to-day. He proceeded to the second charge. Dr. John Bamfylde Daniel, of Bath, deposed that he was a traveller en the Great Western Railway in the early. part of August, and he lost a black leather portmanteau, containing apparel to the value of several pounds. The train came in at dusk, and there was some confusion in getting the articles out of the luggage van. There were several portmanteaus. He saw a man call to a porter to hand him one which witness believed to be his own, and he went round to the person who had obtained possession of it. This was the prisoner. He asked the prisoner whether he had his own portmanteau. The prisoner replied, " there can be no mistake about this." Witness rejoined that it was very like his portmanteau. The prisoner said nothing farther, but got into a cab and was driven away. Witness went back to the luggage receptacle to see if his portman teau was there, but could not find it. He had a strong re collection of the prisoner's features, but he had no spectacles on then. The prisoner was ordered to take off his spectacles and put on his hat. The witness said he was sure the prisoner was the same person. He had not seen him on the road to London, but only in the terminus. Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES supposed he looked at him closely because he suspected he was taking away his trunk. The witness said it was just so. He kept him in sight as long as he could. Mr. Clarkson remarked that the tracing of the contents of the trunk to the prisoner's lodging would prove that he was not mistaken. Witness identified two gold watches, some gloves, and other articles, of which he delivered a list. He also deli vered in a list of articles which had not been found, of the value of 10/. The cross-examination elicited nothing material, and in re-examination the witness stated that there were some cards with his address in the portmanteau. Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES said, if the portmanteau had been taken in mistake, or found, the finder could have had no difficulty in discovering the owner. The witness—Certainly not. Collard proved the finding of the articles identified by the doctor. He brought them from the prisoner's lodgings, at No. 40, Great North-street, Lisson-grove. He produced also the portmanteau, which he recovered on Saturday last from the possession of a Mr. Hawkins of Kennington-green. Mrs. Noble, of Great North-street, deposed that the room where the articles were found was rented by the prisoner. He was introduced by a man who said he was a neighbour, but who was a stranger. She had no reference. The prisoner, when she asked his name, said he would tell her that another time. He came to her on the 13th of September. Mr. Hawkins, a wine merchant, at Kennington-green, said he knew the prismier from having recently lodged at the Cock Tavern at Kennington, where witness occasionally spent an evening. He lodged there for a short time about a month ago. The prisoner said he had been travelling, and was going on the continent, and was encumbered with too much luggage. He wished to dispose of some, and took wit ness up into his room and offered him vaaious articles for sale. Witness bought them for 11. 18s. 6d. Besides the portman teau (identified by Dr. Daniel) there was a carpet bag and a hat box marked " Winter." The prisoner said he had lost a bunch of keys, and had been obliged to break open all his trunks. Witness thought this was probable. There were some articles of apparel in the lot which he had since dis posed of. Hearing of the railway robberies, he thought it proper to communicate with Mr. Collard. After some desultory conversation, as there was no chance of going through the other cases that evening, Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes adjourned the hearing till the next day. 702 NT-STOCK Dividend Amount Name of Company. per of Paid.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Sept. 30.) SUGAR.—To-day, an increased desire was shown to pur chase West India Sugar, the demand was extensive, and a larger quantity was taken for the outports. The private purchases amounted to the immense quantity of 1660 hhds and tierces, and the rates obtained were fully equal to those of Friday, indeed in some cases strong working and the lower sorts of yellow brought FA advance. REFINED.—To-day prices ruled firm for fined Sugar, and the demand was good from the home trade; brown grocery lumps st. 65s to 665, and Standard lumps 66s 6d to 67s per cwt. Bonded Crushed Sugar further declined in value, 39s to 40s having been taken for first quality. Mamtrrics.—This afternoon several inquiries existed pri vately for Mauritius Sugar, but-at present the quantity in the market is small, and the rates paid were rather above those previously quoted. EAST INDIA. —This afternoon white Bengal was much sought after, and as the rates paid were rather above those before quoted, the supply has become inadequate for the de mand. Brown sorts were purchased with increased freedom at 38s to 42s for low and middling; of grainy yellow some parcels were sold at very full rates. Of Madras 1511 bags, a superior parcel, were submitted to public competition, and sold at high rates. IVIOLASSRS.—The demand has been brisk for West India, and rather higher rates were paid; the sales reached 600 puncheons nearly all new Antigun, very fine at 24s to 24s 6d. and fine at 23s 6d per cwt. HOPS. —In the value little variation has taken place, but the amount of business transacted has been small. At the Worcester market new Hops were sold at 64 158. per cwt. but the quality was not first rate. The duty for the king dom is estimated at 170,0004 and the Worcester duty at 10,000/. • FOREIGN.—To.6y there was little disposition shown to purchase Foreign Sugar ; at public sale 91 chests of Bahia were nid, but ati a. decline on former rates of Is to 2s per cwt.

In Congou large purchases have been made -in all descriptions, and the rates paid are fully equal to those previously quoted. In Pouchong a good business has been transacted at firm rates. Twankay has met with in- Areasesl attention, and prices are on the ascendancy. For Hyson merchants are unable to obtain any advance. Young Hyson has been extensively dealt in. Gunpowder has met with a good sale. Of Imperial several parcels have been dia -1 posed of. The business done in Caper has been at stiffer rates. to Orange Pekoe the operations are upon a more extended scale. For Plain Orange Black leaf and flowery Pekoe the demand is improving. Rice. —Of Bengal several parcels have arrived. Madras is little wanted, and nifty be purchased at 17s to 20s per cwt. Of Java there is still little in the market, but few inquiries have prevailed. Carolina has been purchased with caution at 36s to 40s for home consumption, and at 33s to 35s for exportation. Patna moved off slowly at 25s to 27s per cwt. SPICES.—There has been less inquiry after Cassia Lignea, but in the value little variation has occurred. The market has become quiet for Black Pepper. White is wanted and brings 4d to 7d by private treaty. The advanced rates are fullysupported for Nutmegs. Of Mace some parcels have been sold at late rates. Cloves are held with firmness, but there is a pause in the demand. The better qualities of Cinnamon still continue to be much wanted, and command last sale's rates. For Pimento much inquiry has existed, and buyers are com•kielled to pay stiff rates. For Jamaica Ginger there has l ama a brisker demand. COCHINEAL—This afternoon Cochineal met with liess atten tion, and two parcels offered at public sale amou'ting to 139 bags of Honduras Silvers were only partly sad at a decline of Id per lb for the inferior sorts, but they4tter kinds went at former prices. Seintrs.—To-day Jamaica Rum was sought after, ad the parcels sold were at f u ll ra t es, b ut good and - fine sorts are vet themost in request.

This having been done without loss of time, the watch was returned to the prisoner, who, placing it in his fob with one hand, began rummaging about in his trousers pocket, as if searching for the money to close the bargain. Instead, how ever Of paying for the watch, the prisoner made a sudden " bolt " out of the shop, and ran down the London-road with great swiftness, pursued by the shopman calling out "Stop thief." When the prisoner got to the corner of Market street, he ran down the turning, but the number of his pur suers having increased he was at length stopped, and when subsequently searched the complai nan t' s wa t c h was f oun d i n his possession. When questioned by the magistrate, the prisoner said that at present he should decline making any defence, as be supposed the case must go before a jury. —He was then com mitted. TI/AMES. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF RAPE.— Samuel Hart, a grave-looking man, 50 years old, and nearly bald-headed, was brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged with forcibly violating the person of Mary Ann Dodd, his wife's sister, aged 18 years. Mr. Pelham stated the case for the prosecution. He said this was a most painful and extraordinary case. The prisoner was a painter and glazier, and liv e d i n G reenwoo d- street, Mile-end. The gi r l - whom he was charged with abusing was a cripple, and had bean afflicted with a disease of the hip from the time of her birth ; and one of her legs being shorter than the other, she could not walk without the assistance of a crutch. When she lay down, she could not rise again without a great effort, unless she was assisted. Some time ago the girl went to the house of her sister, the prisoner's second wife, as a sort of domestic, and to do needle-work. On the night of Tuesday, the 16th ult., the prisoner came home with his wife at a very late hour. The girl was sitting up for them, and let theth in, and they all went up stairs to their bed-rooms at the same time. The girl's bed-room was on the same floor, and adjoined the prisoner's bed-room. She slept with the prisoner's three children. At daybreak, on the morning of the 17th, the girl was awoke by the prisoner, who had obtained admission to her bed, and he then committed the offence laid to his charge. The girl screamed loudly for help, indeed as loud as she was able, and the children awoke and began crying. The prisoner immediately left her and returned to his own room. His wife, it appeared, slept so sound that she did not hear the screams of her sister, and was not made acquainted with the affair until several days afterwards. The girl was so over come with shame and fear that she made no communication to her sister in the house or to any one else, until Sunday last, when she informed another sister and her father that the prisoner bad abused her, and begged of them to obtain re dress. •Her father promised that he would attend to her wishes, but he had not sought redress for hisinjured daughter, and took no steps in the matter at all. Under these circum stances the sister had consulted him (Mr. Pelham), and he advised that the man should be immediately given into cus tody. The prisoner was the father of a large family. He should prove the facts he had stated by the evidence of the injured girl, and he submitted, that notwithstanding the length of time which had elapsed before the prosecutrix made any communication to her friends, it was a proper case to be sent before a jury. • Mary Ann Dodd was then sworn. Her testimony confirmed the statement of her solicitor. She added that the prisoner had since made improper advances towards her, which she had resisted. Mr. BALLANTINE—Why did you not mention this to the prisoner's wife? Witness (crying)—l was too much ashamed, sir. Mr. BALLANTINE—To whom did you first mention what the prisoner had done? Witness—To my sister Caroline. I saw her on Friday last, and told her I was not comfortable with my 'eldest sister and her husband, and wished to leave them. On Sunday I left the prisoner's house, and told my sister Caroline how the prisoner had misbehaved. Caroline Dodd, who is several years older than the prose cutrix, stated that the last witness called upon her on Friday. She appeared much depressed, and said she was afraid of the prisoner, and that he had not behaved well towards her. She asked her sister what the prisoner had done, and she said she had something on her mind which she would divulge upon another occasion. On Sunday, when her sister returned home, she related everything to witness. She immediately communicated with her father, who desired her to leave everything to him, and he had done nothing. Mr. BALLANTDZE— Did she appeor to be ill ? Witness— She was very ill, and had been fretting. Mr. BALLANTINE asked the prosecutrix if she had seen her sister between the 17th and 27th, and she replied in , the negative. Mr. BALLANTINE said the girl had suffered ten days to elapse before she complained to any one, and continued to live in the house of the very man who, she alleged, had ruined her. . That was an awkward circumstance ; but it did not palliate the prisoner's guilt, if guilty he was. The girl was of mature age, and there was nothing to prevent her complaining to the prisoner's wife, who was, moreover, her own sister. Mr. Pelham said nothing but a feeling of shame had pre vented the girl communicating with her friends. He asked the sister if the prisoner's wife had not made some proposal in connexion with the affair. The witness said that her eldest sister had promised to support the prosecutrix and her offspring if she became preg nant by the prisoner. Mr. Pelham asked for a remand, that he might obtain the evidence of a medical witness, and likewise the evidence of the prisoner's own son, who saw the immoral conduct of his parent. The prisoner, with much animation, said the charge was false, and trumped up against him by the prosecutrix and her sister, who had given evidence. He was a respectable and a moral man, and had never any idea of committing the offence laid to his charge. The girl had robbed him to a great extent, though he had supported and cherished her, and her sister Caroline was a common prostitute, who for merly walked Bishopsgate. He begged of the magistrate to allow him to put in bail and obtain professional advice, for he was an innocent man. Mr. BALLANTINE said he had no doubt the case must ultimately go before a jury, and when he did commit he would take bail for the prisoner's appearance at the Central Criminal Court. Under those circumstances he had no objection to receive good bail for the prisoner being forth coming to answer the charge on Friday next. Bail was then tendered and accepted for the prisoner, himself in 801., and two sureties of 401. each, and he was set at liberty. A Britrm FELLOW.— William Hazle, an ill-tempered though well-dressed fellow, residing at 11, Portman-place, Stepney, was charged with cruelly maltreating Susannah his wife. The complainant, a delicate, interesting young woman, stated that she had been for four years married to the pri soner, and during the whole of the period he had treated her with most unrelenting cruelty, not from any sudden ex citement, but calmly and deliberately. On Sunday week he got a piece of rope, which he made up in the form of a whip, and on the same evening he took the screws from the hinges of the door, which he again temporarily fastened up with nails. About four o'clock next morning he burst in the door, and beat her •cruelly with the rope which he had prepared. On another occasion she gave him in charge for beating her with a thick bamboo cane, which he split to pieces on her person, but on his promising amendment before the inspector, the charge was not pressed. On Wednesday last he came home in ill humour, and d—d the infant, who was crawling `upon the ground. She told him not to do so, as his curses would fall upon himself, when he followed her into the kitchen, drew her along by the hair of the head, and gave her several blows and kicks, which cut and marked her severely. He never let her see the colour of his money, but left her and her children to starve, so as that they were compelled to live on the casual bounty of the neighbours. Anne Pearson, a poor woman living in a house to the rear of the prisoner's, proved that for the last three months, during which she lived in the place, the prisoner treated his wife with unremitting cruelty. On the previous Wednesday she showed witness her legs, which were all over bruises, and in gores of blood. The complainant was a most domestic woman, who never left her home, but she and her children were half starved by the prisoner, and witness often assisted her with food out of her own scanty means. John Pearson, husband to the last witness, stated that on Saturday he 'Saw a stick rise and fall through the window of the prisoner's house as if some person was beating another in side with great violence. The house was at some distance, and as the door was shut, witness heard no cries. Mr. BALLANTINE—You and your wife assisted this poor woman ? Witness—Oh, sir, don't speak of that, I'd blush to mention it ; 'twas a trifle—a mere trifle. I wish it had been more, poor thing, she subsists on too little. This little touch of generous sympathy and unostentatious humanity thrilled through the Court with an electric effect. The prisoner in his defence admitted striking her, but said she had ruined him by her extravagance, and pawned all he had. Mr. BALLANTINE said it was clear the prisoner was a bad tempered fellow, and no one with his disposition should be in any place involving the slightest authority. For the assault on his wife he should pay a fine of 51.. or be imprisoned for two months, besides giving security to keep the peace in future. The prisoner was locked up in default. The worthy Magistrate subsequently ordered five shillings to be given to the complainant, and a like sum to the poor but worthy man who had relieved her in her necessities. Pearson—No, your worship ;I am obliged to you. My wife and I can earn our little morsel and eat it in peace. Give it all to the poor woman. Mr. BALLANTINE bighlycommended the noble spirit which exhibited itself in so low a state, and was sure the honest fel low's own emotions were the best reward he could receive. WORSHIP-STREET. COINING.—George Reynolds, a middle-aged man, of re spectable connexions, was placed at the bar for further exa mination, charged with having been found engaged in the manufacture of spurious money. It appeared from the evidence of Sergeants Teakle and Price, of the B division, that i n consequence o f i n f ormat i on they had received they proceeded on the morning of Thurs day last to a house in White Bear-gardens, Hackney-road, and on knocking at the door they were admitted by the pri soner, whom they instantly secured before he had time to re cover from the panic occasioned by their sudden appearance. After searching his pockets, in which they found three coun terfeit half-crowns, they proceeded to a room on the first floor, where they discovered a plaister-of-Paris mould for coining half-crowns upon a trivit in front of the fire, and also a smaller mould for the inanufacture of shilling pieces, upon the side of the stove. On a further search they afterwards disco vered a quantity of base metal, a crucible, several tiles, and all the other requisite implements and accessories for carrying on the nefarious occupation. The prisoner was then con veyed to the station-house, on reaching which he stated that distress had driven him to the commission of such practices, in which he had been engaged only about four or five weeks. The prisoner was recognised by the officers of the Court as having formerly held a highly respectable position in society, but they had lost sight of him for some years, and were un acquainted with the disastrous circumstances that had re duced him to such an ignominious condition. The prisoner, who declined offering any defence, was fully committed, but he will be brought up again for the comple tion of the depositions. LIABILITY OF ROYAL PALACES TO PAYMENT OF POOR-RATES.
