CORK ASSIZES. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE. (Before Mr. Justice BURTON and a Special Jury.) LITTLE V. NEWENHAM. The Court was densely crowded during the trial, The galleries were reserved for ladies, who assembled in large num ber,. Damages were laid at 5,0001. The defendant had lodged 5001. in Court. . . ICIr. Henn, Q.C., stated the case. The plaintiff, said he, is a lady, the daughter of Dr. Little, a gentleman of great respectability and extensive practice, and I think I may say that there is no one in his profession standing in higher repute than Dr. Little, where he is well known, where he resides, in Sligo. Mr. George Newenham, the defendant, is a gentleman who resides in the neighbourhood of this city. It. so happens that Dr. Little has a daughter married to Mr. Benjamin Beamish, who also resides in this city, and I shall proceed at once to detail to you the facts which have given rise to this action. In the month of September, 1644, it so haupened that Miss Little was on a visit with her aunt, Mrs. Westropp, who resided in the immediate neighbour h,otl of defendant. Previous to this, Mr. Newenham and Penjamin Beamish were on terms of friendship, and 11,wson, an once of Mr. Beamisls, having come to town, -I,•amish invited Mr. Newenham to his house to intro duce i, , rn to Mr. Howson. Upon that occasion Mrs. Wes trop and plaintiff were there, and then for the first time Mr. Newenham met her. She is a lady of C insiderable attracticns sled eng “ z ing, manners. Her age is twenty-six or twenty sis.en. Mr. Newenham is a widower, aged about forty-five or fi:ty. Mr. Bennett—He is fifty-three. Mr. Henn—Gentlemen, lam told that he is fifty-three. I was not aware he was so much. However, there is not much disparity between them ; and I do believe—indeed we all know—that many happy unions have been formed between person; whose ages were much more unequal. Upon the occa sion to which I have drawn your attention he appeared ab tracted by this lady, and after this he became a daily visitor at Mrs. sVestropp's, and during his visits he pie' constant. marked, and unremitting attention to her, and at length, on the 24th of February, he had an interview with her at the house of Mrs. Westropp, when he declared his 'feelings and proffered his love, and asked for a return. However, there was no definite answer given upon that occasion, but on the Sunday following they again met at Mr. Efewson's, where this young lady, Mrs. West ropp, and Mrs. Beamish went to pay a visit. On that occa sion he and she had a long walk through the grounds, and while walking home he asked her to marry him, and having requested a promise, begged her to permit him to speak to Mr. Benjamin Beamish on the subject. She consented, and on that occasion he presented her with a ring, and on the following day called on Mr. Beamish. He then acquainted Mrs. Beamish with what had occurred, and introduced the plaintiff to his own niece as her aunt. On the 27th he called on Mr. Benjamin Beamish, and he on that occasion makes a formal proposal of marriage. Mr. Beamish having expressed his pleasure—having known Mr. Newenham for a long time, and having a regard far him, and thinking that in all respects it was a suitable match, observed that bo‘iness shoal l not be lost sight of, and to avoid any mistake, he thought it right to say, that although Miss Little was entitled to a fortune on helt mother's death, that now they should act in this matter as if she hid not a penny. Defendant replied there was nothing like candour—that that was a matter wlecli gave him no consideration—it made no alteration or Me i enee whatever in his feelings or intentions, as he considered he had quite enough for both himself and her—he had a good prisaert y, near 600/. a year, with a sum of 2001. a year which would fall in on his old aunt's death, which would give him 890!. a year clear, besides his place, which was a nice valuable place near this city, and worth 3001. or 400/. a year, and that plaee was subject only to a few pounds a year rent. Mr. B aenish said that as Miss Little had not at present any fortune, he would leave ;II matters of settlement to his own feelings, as he felt satified that Mr. Newenham-would provide liberally for her. Mr. Newenham replied that she would be safe in his hands, and therefore he might leave all to him, and he would act. in such a manner as Mr. Beamish's family would have no reason to complain of. It was then agreed that Mr. Beamish she e'd write to Dr. Little, who was in Shwa, and that Mr. Noweoliam himself should also write to Dr. Little, and ask his consent to the marriage of his daughter. Mr. Newenham then re! ired and wrote the letter, and again returned and showed what lie had written to Mr. Beamish. I will now call your attention to that letter. It is dated— " Summer-hill, Jan. 27, 1845. "My dear Sir—lf I had the pleasure of being personally known to you, I would feel relieved from some embarrass ment in addressing you, particularly on a subject in which my feelings are 90 deeply engaged, and which would perhaps lead me into explanations such as mutual friends may expect. fhe riml le w,y to relieve myself would be to come to the point at once, trusting that the introduction of my name has already reached you through some members of ycur family. I have had frequently the pleasure of meeting your daughter Henrietta in society, and from the first moment I saw her, I found my mind drawn towards her by those feelings, the effect of which his encouraged me to offer her my heart and hand ; and without affectation I can say, I never felt more happy than in 'inding that I have not misplaced my affections, and I hav e re ceived her permission to address you on the subject. As to my position in society, and my means of supporting her respec tably, I refer you to your son-in-law, Mr. Beausish. As to any provision you can make for her, I have hitherto made no inquiry, but in addressing you as a man of the world, you will admit that it is natural that I should obtain some information— not that any infor.nation you can afford me can effect any change in my feelings or intentions, which, believe me, shall ever and always tend to anything !and everything that can make your daughter happy; being satisfied that in making her so will constitute my own. Anxious y hoping for your kind assent, believe me, my dear sir, yours very sincerely, "GEORGE NEWENH AM. " To Dr. Little, &c., Sligo." That letter arrived in Sligo in due course, and Dr. Little, on the 30th of Janu try, wrote his reply : " Caltlwell-buildings, Sligo, Jan. 30, 1845. " My Dear Sir.— I had the honour, and, I will add, the gra tification, of receiving your communication to me yesterday. At any time a proposal for a matrimonial connexion with a family must be received as a high compliment proffered ; but-coining, as yours has done, with the introduction of my son-in-law, which speaks so highly of your character and station, I must confess it brings with it most heartfelt appro bation. The measure of choosing a partner for Lie, a par. ticipator in our weal or woe, is a serious one indeed. A pleasing anticipation, however, may be raised on the pre vious Association, character, and conduct of the object of our choice. The mind which has never been tainted by a single domestic cloud—which has never been ruffled by domestic conflict, but has had all its sentiments nurtured and deve loped under the warm sun of social family concord, pre sents the most certain prospect of happiness in married life. As such I can confidently entrust my dear Henrietta to your care, under the fullest conviction that the child who has never in a single act of her life called forth a tear from the eye of a parent, save that of gratitude to the Power which bestowed her, shall never fail to discharge the duties and obli gations of an affectionate wife when called on for their per formance. Your candour and disinterestedness, as exhibited in your letter, call upon me for a corresponding expression as to the worldly circumstances of my family. For the last thirty years of my life I have enjoyed a large professional income ; Out my expenses in bringing up my three sons respectably to professions, as well as my desire that all my family should maintain a respectable appearance and association in life, have almost always occasioned an expenditure nearly equal to my ; income. Mrs. Little was left by her father's (and subse quently by her mother's) will a share of their property, 500/. of this being left by Mrs. Swayne as a legacy to my eldest daughter on the death of her mother. Three of my Baugh . ters being married and portioned by other means, Mrs. Little leaves by will (or by a legal irrevocable deed) the balance, whatever that may be, to her remaining daughters ( Henrietta, one of them) in equal shares, while I undertake the provision for my sons from such resources as may be in my power. Under those circumstances, 1 leave it to your own feelings altogether to make such arrangements as you and Benjamin Beamish (who is the agent to the family property, an 1 who will explain all to you), may agree upon, under the conviction that you will feel for the respectability, comfort, and station of your wife, as I should for those of my daughter. tt Wishing soon to have the pleasure of a personal acquaint ance, believe me to remain, dear Sir, yours most faithfully, " THOMAS LITTLE. " To George Newenham, Esq., Summer-hill, Cork." Tiw letter was received by the defendant on the Ist February, 1845, and, gentlemen of the jury, on the receipt of that letter • he expressed the happiness he felt at having been thus accepted as the suitor of Miss Little. He expressed that to all his friends—he expressed it to her friends, and received their con gratulations, and he made use of all the expressions of an ardent lover after having been accepted and being about to be connected with the object of his most ardent wishes. It will, e i in tact, he proved that he called on Mrs. Westropp, Mrs. e Johnson, and Mrs. Hewson, and expressed his delight at having obtained the dearest object of his heart. He told Mr. Beatnieh he would call on him on the Monday following. The . letter was received on the Saturday previous, and the meeting , on the Monday was to arrange matters with respect to the • settlement, &c. Gentlemen, it may be well supposed that all the members of the family were perfectly convinced that on • Monday the final arrangements would be entered into, but I will tell you of one or two occurrences which took place in the interim. When Mr. Beamish had no doubt of e• Newenham having been received by the father, he was re • ceived by the family as the accepted suitor of this young lady, • and he was in public treated and acknowledged as ber affianced husband. On the night of the day he received the letter he • went to a ball given by some officers, and he waited in the outer et room until this lady came, and introduced her into the ba11,71'00113. ,71'00113. When she came he was congratulated by his friends, esand he exhibited this young lady as his intended. On the Ist he receive! the letter of acceptance from Dr. Little, and on c-tbat day, or the preceding one, he applied to her to accept a • • •-string from him, which he had lately spoken to her about, and tin -which some of her own hair was inserted. That ring he - presented to her e with the initials "G. N.," George Newen ham, and " 11. E. N.," for Henrietta Emma Newenham, not " H. E. L.," Henrietta Emma Little. Now, gentlemen . 4,f the iery, you will be surprised, as all the members of the - family certainly and properly were, when I tell you what, after te teek !Alm Gentlemen of the jury, ow the Sunday, having . fixed Miiietay for the conference respecting the settlement, it • ossae .alleged that he had investigated his affairs, for, on the :Monday, instead of Mr. Newenham attending according to his . , appoietment, his solicitor waited on Mr. Beamish, alleging t het Mi. Newenham could not prudently marry, as his property was not as ample as he thought. Now, gentlemen, I will tell you what intervenes. After the alleged inquiry into the state of his property, he treated this young lady in the same affec tionate manner as he heretofore had done, and asked her could • -she content he self to live in a quiet and humble manner? To which she readily consented, and he left her on thet Sunday, with that knowledge then acquired, leaving her utterly in the dark—leaving her under the delusion that he would Ferform his compact, having succeeded in engaging her ' love, and having at the very time made up his mind as to his subsequent acts. On the Monday, Mr. Noblett, his solicitor, attended Mr. Beamish, and apprised him that under circurn stanceo Mr. NeNenhain was not able to perform his contract — indeed that his funds and property would not permit. As he represented to kir. Beamish he had a property of 600/. a ' year, which probably would he BOW., and on occasion of the in terview between Mr. Noblett and Mr. Beamish, Mr. Noblett s.amish a statement of what Mr. Newenham's party was, drawn up by Mr. Newenham himself, and in his • h ttelwriting, he subsequently had an interview with Mr. • '- Bearnish, when Mr. Beamish suggests to him what was the asp repel- course for any man so situated to adopt, and suggests that. even on Mr. Newenham's own showing he had seffi.iiept means, and he says that at all events the proper • - course to take, as appears to me, is to address the lady's father, and leave it in his hands, and that Mr. Newen • im :pas bound as a man of honour to do so ; and if Dr. " Little del net think the reasons sufficient to avoid the perform • ance of the contract, but that he thought Mr. Newenham had = am i de tattoos—means sufficient—and if he did not release him, • he, as a man of honour, should not shrink. He left Mr. Beamish under the impreision that he would write a letter and leave Dr. Little to decide whether the contract should be per formed or not. On that very day these words were what I have men - •'• tioned, and the letter I will now call your attention to, which •• he wrote to Dr. Little, was certainly a more extraordinary epis ''" • tle than ever I read. It is dated " Summer-hill House, Feb. 4, 1845"—one week after he proposes and is accepted—within eit I one week after his application to the brother-in-law, when he apprised him distinctly that the lady had no fortune; three • '—' days after he received Dr. Little's letter accepting him; and the • day after he receives the assurance of attachment from this e.young lady, he writes this letter : " Summerhill HouT i A t b., 4; 1845. " Sly dear Sir,—lt is with feelings very from those with which I last addressed you that I now write to say that, however strange it may appear to you. till after I received your letter on Saturday, I did not for a long period look into my affairs, and that to my horror, on going over them with my professional friend, I find that, instead of the income which I was led to think I had, and which I led others also to think I had, that from various circumstances my income had dimi nished down to 2401. a year, and my place, the heavy city taxes on which amount to more than the rent of a moderate house. This discovery at once altered my views as to the wis dom or propriety of drawing one whom I loved into the diffi culties which would certainly follow my marriage. "I am free to confess myself most blameable and most un wise in not having investigated those things previously, but it has been unfortunately too much my way through life. I had, beginning the world, at my father's death, 22,000/. ; this, from the circumstance of being in cash, and at my disposal, dwindled away to 15,0001. at my marriage, twenty-one years ago, arid this again has been reduced to 6,0001., with charges of various kinds, leaving the balance as above. " I must also say, that though not expecting that your daughter had much, yet I did expect that there was some thing, and that from an observation of Mrs. Westropp's call ing, her her child, and hearing that she had done handsome!) , for her sister, I did think that there were expectations there that might give us a lift ; but now, finding matters on both sides so different from what I expected, I will put it to you, as a man of the world, ought I to persevere in what wou ld naturally bring only poverty, and all its accompanying sorrows, upon us ? _ THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS. Since our last the weather has been rather unfavour able and wet, which has retard:d vegetation considera• bly, and we fear this harvest wilt be rather a late one. The atmosphere has been still and heavy, and several showers which have fallen, have lodged a good part of the crops, and there is reason to fear permancntly. Green crops have grown amazingly full and heavy, from which there will be more than an average return of straw. Barley, if the weather should keep dry for a tew days, will be cut in our vicinity and throughout several parts of the country. Turnips and potatoes have met between the drills, and there is no doubt that from the very few failures in the latter, thrre will be an abundant supply. Mr. Gray, Anchterneed, has planted in one field, and given the like adt antage to all—seven different kinds of potatoes, all of which bok exceedingly well, and we shall be glad to learn to which of this selec tion he gives the preference, and which is the best adapted to the sell and climate. From Strathspey we learn that the crops are lodged in many Wafts, and that every thing is deteciorating in consequence of the continued ra.-V and It uni'd weather. Some nights ago frost was rather keen in that district, hut happily no injury of any coesequence hits re,ulted from sucn an unwelcome visi tation. The crops are well advanced in Morayshire.— Hoss-sfii-c Adreit'ser. " She, as well as myself, have been accustomed to comforts and station, both which must inevitably yield before the wants of a family. I do, Sir, most deeply feel the awkward positi ,, n lam placed in. I sent my friend yesterday to Benjamin Beamish, who felt warmly, and naturally so, on the subject. I met him afterwards, and again this morning, when, after a very long interview, I promised to write this to you ; as he said, were he her parent, he would act very differently, bit as he stood, he said he felt not entitled to agree to break off, after your approbation having been given. He urged me strongly on my honour; and while it grieves me sorely to have any person able to lay anything to my charge on that point, I also feel that 1 must look a little a-head, even late as it may be, and that it would be more dishonourable in me to be forced to undeceive her afterwards, than now to say that the pressing state of my affairs renders marriage at present a most absurd thing for me to think of. I may be reproached, and deserve it, for wounding the feelings of one who had gained so much on my affections, but I am suffering myself that which my folly deserves. " I remain, my dear Sir, yours very truly. " GEORGE NEWENHAM. Daring the past week we have happily been favoured with a decided improvement in the state of the weather, with every appearance of its continuing. During the e arly part of the week this ne;gbbourhood was visitel ith occasional showers, but by Tuesdav, and Wed. 0 .sday the rain compktely ceased, and, though the atmosphere was cloudy, there were occasional blinks of su.,shine both days. On Thursday. Friday, and Saturday, we had a continuance of bright dry weather, with the sun rarely obscured by clouds ; indeed, with the exception of some very slight frost d gyring the night., which has done if any damage, the weather is all the best well wisher of the country could desire. Patches of barley have been cut in various places in the neighbourhood, but for wheat, or oats, there is no appearance of the reaper being required for a week or ten days to come. There is one charz,eteristic of the approaching harvest which wears the indication of our most favoured seasons —that is, the crop is most abundant, with every . appearance of being ready n,arly about one tune. If we have much sun seine, the oat harvest will, in many cases, precede that of the wheat, But, in the forwardness of both these descriptions of grain, we do not recollect of having ever seen greater uniformity; and if the weather but keep dry, there is little doubt but the rou.r,h part of the harvest will be over in two weeks from its commence ment, or by the middle of September, which may yet place the present amongst the most early and bountiful sears on record. Since Cie above was written, we re gret to say that Sunday throughout was a day of rain, and ill• fitted for harvest purposes.—Girtsgow Argus. " To Thomas Little, Esq., Sligo." Now, gentlemen of the jury, let me ask you, can anything excuse or justify such a letter as that, almost immediately atter he was accepted—atter he had exhibited her to the public as his intended wife—after all this, he writes this letter with such flimsy excuses to afford him the means of violating his contract 2 But there was enclosed in this document further matter, which was headed " postscript," and marked " private." Dr. Little would not now produce this—nor would it ever have been seen by other eyes, though, in point of fact, it was not private, and ought not to have been, from what occurred ; still Dr. Little would not have exposed it, but that in point of fret it was not private, for it was communicated to gentlemen who will be pro duced t) you. Here it is— THE SUN, LONDON, THURSD.% ti EVEN ING, A UGITST 21, i 845. " POSTSCRIPT. " Private.—l think it fair, as one who would have a right to be dealt openly with, to inform you that among the in discretions of my past life, there is one which leaves a charge that cannot be overlooked in my expenses. I allude to a connexion with a person which has long since ceased, but which leaves her and five children looking to me for support, which in the scantiest way must be felt on so small a pro perty as mine. I feel ashamed at having to expose my folly to the eyes of a stranger, but hope that you will see I only do so to account for the necessity of acting as I have above." Now, gentlemen of the jury, is not that another pretext put for ward with the view of dissolving the contract? But can either of the topics in this letter justify such conduct? Was a man of his age thus to treat this unfortunate lady, whose affections were engaged by him—whose promise was obtained—who over and over again was exhibited to the public as his intended wife ? I say, and I say again, that there is no cause, and that she is entitled to heavier damages on this account. After the examination of witnesses, who proved the fore going statement, Sir. George Bennett, Q. C., addressed the jury for the de fence, and in the course of his speech said—Gentlemen of the jury, the plaintiff is entitled to damages, and I tell you, under his Lordship's correction, if you are of opinion that she is not entitled to more than 5001., after we produce the order made to lodge that money in Court, that your verdict ought to be for the defendant. I don't dispute—l never did —the right of this lady to get compensation, and his counsel advised him to lodge that sum, which he thought would have brought this matter to an end, and have saved this public in vestigation, annoying as it must be to every one concerned. We may thus sum up the case :—This lady has lost a widower of 53, whose means we will show you are moderate—who com mands, with his demesne and all, something less than 4001. a year. She has lost him and his fortune, and she gets 5001. Now, what prospect has she before her ? If he insisted on his rights he might have left her a young widow without any sup port. That is one consideration. He, however, thought, whe ther right or wrong—or his Counsel thought—that he was not worth more than 5001.—( Laughter.) He valued himself at that much, and I think, if he were to ask her on the day he put the question, whether she would prefer 5001. in hand, or a wi dower of 53, you need not tax your imagination severely to discover what her answer would have been.—(Laughter. ) In addition to what you were told of this man's circum stances, I admit that he had acted wrong at one period of his life, and that he pays for his error still, for that he has five persons to support, besides their mother. But I will pass by this part of the case, for in saying more I might offend the delicacy of those I see around me. Is there, I ask, a young lady who sees me now—and, indeed, I wish I had in this case a jury of pretty girls to address—(Laughter)—and I could easily empanel them in this Court, my Lord—( Loud laughter) —Were you, ladies, in that box, to you I would say no more than this—Would you rather have a widower of fifty-three, with five little pledges hanging on his back, than a fortune, soy of 4001. or 5001. in hand at your disposal? Ladies of the j iry, have you agreed to your verdict ?—( Great laughter.) There was a famous poet who wrote of a lady. You have read this, my Lord. After giving a history of the lady, he described her as being rather fond of the male sex—(Loud laughter)— indeed, I believe that this a propensity most ladies have.— Renewed laughter.) Now, she had to draw a comparison —not between a man of fifty-three and a girl of twenty six, but between a man of fifty and one of twenty-five. The question was asked ; she looked at each, and immediately and very candidly said, " I'd rather have two of five-and-twenty than one of fifty."—(lmmoderate laughter.) But, gentle men of the jury, the friends of this young lady think differ ently. They are of opinion that this widower of fifty-three should pay—for what ? Compensation in damages for the loss she sustained! Why, I believe the damage she sustained could never be estimated at 5001. But the damages were not to be compensation—vengeance possibly must be gratified—pride must be fed—l won't go so far as to say that avarice must be gorged ; but this appears to me, that feelings were bro ug ht into the case to withdraw from the jury the legitimate ground of action, and make a tax upon the defendant for other motives. The jury retired, and after an absence of nearly half an hour returned a verdict for plaintiff-7001. damages, and 6d. costs. A shout of applause followed, bat it was almost instantly suppressed by the Sub-Sheriff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Yesterday a clerk from the George Inn booking-office, in Aldermanbury, attended before Aldermen Johnson and Sir C. Marshall, to answer the complaint of Mr. Lart, of the firm of Lart and Son, of Wood-street, wholesale hosiers, for having neglected to deliver a parcel according to the direction thereof within 24 hours after its arrival at the inn. Mr. Lart stated that repeated attempts has been mad, by the porters from this inn to double the customary charge for porter age. At this time of year many parcels were sent into the country with samples, which were returned, and he expected the parcels to be so returned from the same inn as he delivered them. to, and from which the waggon or van actually started; but to ei.hance the porterage, the packages coming from Kent were left in the Borough, though the van came on to the City, and to defy complaint upon this head the charge was not distinctly made, but mixed up with the carriage. On Saturday last a porter from the defendant's inn brought in a parcel, but continuing to keep possession of it, and presenting only the ticket with " carriage, Is. Bd." on it, he asked if that sum would be paid. He said, "If you pay my demand, you shall have the parcel; if you will not pay, you shall not have it." Mr. Lart replied he should net answer any question ; t!ne porter must deliver the parcel, and if the charge was a proper one, it would be paid, and if it were not paid, he must take the usual course to recover payment. The porter. ith some insolence of manner, refused to leave it, and it had not been delivered yet, and the goods might be spoiling for all the defendant knew. To expose the system he would show the bill of a parcel brought from the same place, Canterbury, and delivered half an hour after by the railway company. This was charged only Is. The porter stepped forward to answer the charge. He said Mr. Lart had cheated him out of money repeatedly before, and he was in the habit of cheating the porters. He was expected by his employer to take back either the parcel or the money, and he was doubtful of Mr. Lart paying the money, and there fore refused to leave the parcel. Mr. Lart said it was quite true that be resisted all attempts of this kind to impose on him. Sir C. MARSHALL said the public were much obliged to him for doing so, and he trusted be would persist in that course. Mr. Alderman JOHNSON said the porter had used in his presence unjustifiable language respecting the complainant, who was well known to be a gentleman of high character. The porter repeated, that he had often cheated him. Mr. Alderinan JOHNSON said it was most improper to talk of being cheated. If he was entitled to what he demanded, it was very easy to recover it, by applying to a magistrate for a summons. He need lose nothing by Mr. Lart. The Alder man asked if he had any other reason to give for not delivering the parcel within the proper number of hours ? It was his duty to deliver the parcel, and seek to recover his charges after wards. The bookkeeper said, he had witnesses to prove that Mr. Lart refused to pay the charges. Sir C. MA itsuALL said that could not avail him. If he understood Mr. Lart, he was willing to pay Is. 4d., which would include porterage from the nearest inn, though he re ceived parcels direct from the railway for Is. Mr. Lart said it was precisely so. The Magistrates having consulted, fined the defendant 20s. and costs. BOW-STREET. Yesterday a middle-aged man named Howard Augustine Styles, said to be a commission-agent, was charged with forg ing acceptances to two bills of exchange—the one for 381. 13s. 61., and the other for 341. 10s. The former bill had been given by the prisoner to a Mr. James Cook, a tailor, in Charles-street, Westminster, who, from the signature, believed it was endorsed by Mr. G. Withers, the confectioner, of George-street, Portman-square. It afterwards transpired that the acceptance was a forgery. Th.t other bid was also represented as bearing the endorse ment of Mr. Withers, and had been cashed under that im pression by Mr. Tomlins, a broker, living in Upper George street, Bryanstone-square, who stated that he received the personal assurance of a man named Diamond, whom he had known for twenty-five years, that the signature was a genuine on , . A letter, which the prisoner had attempted to destroy while in custody, furnished some evidence of his share in the transaction, as he therein promised to take up the bill on its becoming due. The letter was addressed to Tomlins. Mr. G. Withers was called to prove the forgery of his name. He stated that he never gave a bill or accepted one in his life. He believed that the acceptances of Messrs. Gunter aml Co., had been forged in a similar manner. The prisoner said that Mr. Tomlins had agreed to take no notice of the matter, on the promise of the prisoner to make up the amount by a specified time, in virtue of which arrange ment he (the prisoner) had sent him 11. 155., as the first instalment. Alr. Tomlin, admitted that the sum named had been left at his house, and was received by a clerk in his service, but he did not know to what the payment related. The inquiry relative to the case of Mr. Tomlins was corn m-need ,by the constable on discovering the letter in the pri soner's possession. . _ As more time was required to complete the present and other charges about to be instituted, Mr. TWICIVAD remilided the prisoher fora week. HOP INTELLIGENCE. MAIDsToNE.—The two last days havo proved more favourable for the hops, which still require much warmth to bring them to perfection. \VATKRINGBURY, MEREWOBTIT, &c.—The hops have made great iwprovement within these last two days, i❑ consequence of the change of the ivartnth of the atmos phere. There is more burr than usual, and should the weather turn favourable, there is no apparent obstacle to there being a large crop. liaExc ElLEY.—Great excitement still prevails amongst our planters as to the result of the ungenial weather. The grape hops are very backward in burr, and they teak,; but very little progress. The Jones's are getting Out trAerably well. In respect to a crop, all depends on toe weather in future ; at present the hops are in a very precarious state, consequently the duty is considered to be much over-rated. . _ ljecumn.—The hops in this neighbourhood are suf fering very much from the late winds and wet, and for want of sun. The crop will fall short from what was expected, although the bine is looking exceedingly well and healthy at present. They come into hop very in differently, through the unfavourable state of the weather. If we have a change soon, a few days will make a great alteration in them. IlonsmoNneet.—The hops in this parish are in nearly the same state that they were a fortnight age, having made scarcely any perceptible progress ; excepting the Jones's, which, in some grounds, are coming into hop. l'he produce must be very limited unless we have an im mediate return of warm weather, as much of the burr will hardly come into hop, and a great part of that which does will undoubtedly eer : igh vtry IGHTtraer.—The bines iu thi•S'eleielhbeeetroetd are still in a very luxuri,mt state, hut the Unsettled wea ther prevents them from coming into hop, and unless we have mare sun and warmer nights, the crop must fall very short of what has been anticipated. EDENBRIDGE.—Our hops are still progressing, and though the weather has been exceedingly unfavourable, we expect a good crop. CANTERBURY.—A correspondent informs us that at Canterbury market, on Saturday last, there was a great inquiry fur yearling hops, the holders of which re relined firm. Some were requested by several parties to give them the first offer. A heavy duty at this late period is considered by every one as quite out of the question. . WADJIIIRST.—Our 'tops tere'progl.essing..very slowly, the Jones's are well set with burr, and changing into hop ; the grape seem more 'growing, and will be much later, should the weather be ever so favourable for tiset*, BnEnr..--In consequence of the high winds - oar grounds have been considerably bliewn about, and many pines and branches broken in exposed situations. The hops in general are in full burr, and are making pro gress as well as can bdeexpected. We have a few lice in some grounds. UDIMORE.—The burr in many gardens does not ad vance so freely as we could wish, and we are looking a little yellow, and rather inclined for a top crop. There is a considerable number off-1 en : it theetaennd of the parish. BATTLE. — The bine is looking Eisivielt as eVet, indeed, it is now thought to be tea luxuriant to have a urge crop of hops. Ths burr comes out slowly, • and unless there be a great change in the temperature of the air, there will be a great failing in the expected produce. TICEKURST and Wenetuasi.-L-Having read in the columns of the Sussex Advertiver, that the hops in this district are evincing a " rusty" and " blasted" appearance,' I have tried to ascertain the truth of the above statement, but I find it to be by no means generally applicable. Here and there a piece presents a yellow appearance, but this is attributed to some local caueee,: Tbelit-Ggmes out but slowly owing to ungenial wGat , :grounds cer tainly do not present so proifiisititati appearance as a fortnight since, and our late expectations cannot be realised. FARNHAM, ALTON, AND COUNTRY DISTRICT, AUG.I7. —All hopes of a large crop are over for this year. Since our last we have great increase of vermin, especially at Farnham. In fact, many grotinds are growing black, and the young shoots and burr are covered with lice. The picking (should there be any) will be in about five wee k s ti m e.—Maidstone Gazette. VAUXHALL GARDENS. NIGHT ASCENT OF MR. GREEN. Lad evening the veteran mrouaut, Green, made his secend night ascent from these gardens with one of his large balloons. The balloon had been inflated. during the course of the day, and when the gardens were op.ned at eight o'clock, it was discovered moored in the Waterloo Ground, and was the object of general attraction. Shortly after eight o'clock the concert commenced in the grand orchestra, and was succeeded by • the per formances in the ballet theatre ; yet not withstanding these attractions many persons lin gered near the balloon, fearful that they might miss obtaining a good view of the ascent. At half-past ten o'clock all the preparations having been completed for the ascent, and the fire-work frame having been attached, Mr. Green entered the car. and having released the ball ,on from its moorings, ascended slowly and majestically. The balloon took a course directly across the gardens. About two minutes after leaving terra firma the dis charge of fireworks commenced, and continued for some time. The effect was brilliant in the extre ie. The night was exceedingly beautiful, and the gardens were crowded. We cannot concluile,this notice without ex pressing our admiration of the style in which Mr. G. Marshall sung Bellini's beautiful air, " Viraviso," in the early part of the evening. We have never had the pleasure of hearing this gentleman before, and, we believe, that as yet he is comparatively speaking unknown to fame ; but he cannot long remain so, at least it will be his own fault if he does. His voice is one of the richest basses we have ever heard ; it is flexible and under command. Let him improve by hard study and diligent practice his great natural musical powers, and ho cannot fail to attain a high station in his pro fession. COUNT KONIGSMARK, AN HISTORICAL ROMANCE, iv CAPT. FREDERICK Cu AstiEit, R.N.—They who delight in supernatural agency and the wildest romance, may absot lutely luxuriate in these volumes. In his preface, Capt. Chamier tells us that Count Rosen suggested the story of ICnigsmark to him as one of great interest. Ile could no evily have recommended a more singularly romantic one. The strange story of the ring (Capt. Chamier adds) does not belong to the Konigsmark family, but the Barnekows. The ring was acquired in the manner described in the work, and when in the riots occasioned by Ankerstroni's murder of his sovereign, the owner of this ring was killed by the populace— the ring which he had never been able to take from his hand, could not be found after his death. 'With much of the history of the time, in which the Countess of Northumberland, Mr. Montagu, her husband, the Lady Elizabeth Percy, her daugh ter, the Duwager Countess of Algernon, the notorious Duchess of Cleveland, the Countess of Sussex, her daughter, and various others are made to play conspicuous parts, we have an abundance of wild and stirring adventures in both love and war, Konigsmark being a devil for fighting, and a perfect Don Giovanni in his amours."—Naval and Military Ga zette. PROVIDENTIAL ESCAPE FROM D RovvraNG. CO U lAGEOUS CONDUCT OF A POLICEMAN.—OD Tuesday morning the f o ll ow i ng prov id ent i a l esca p e o f a female fro m drowni ng took place at Islewor.h. About a quarter before five o'clock poli ce - consta bl e J o h n S ween y, T 135, w h o h a d j us t come off duty, saw a female struggling in the water in quite an exhausted state. The con- table instantly threw off his coat and boots and jumped into the river, and swam towards the woman, who had by that time caught hold of the edge of a small boat ; when he reached her she was fast sinking from exhaustion, but he succeeded in saving her and conveying her to the shore, where she instantly received every attention which her state demanded. Her name is Mrs. Brown, an inhabitant of the neighbourhood, whose garden abutted on the river, and who had over-balanced herself and fell into the river. YANKEE PARTNERSHIF.—A bloody rencontre oc curred on Saturday week, at Jersey Shore, Lymington County, Pa., which terminated in the death of one of the parties. John F. Hunt, of Duck Haven, and John Stewart, of Jersey Shore, brothers-in-law, had been partners in busi ness, and had met to effect a settlement ; a quarrel ensued, and , everal blows passed between them, when Hunt drew a dirk and stabbed Stewart to the heart, causing instant death. Hunt immediately gave himself up, and was lodged in gaol. He had an arm broken by a blew from Stewart before he stabbed him. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Two ladies entered the Court and asked Mr. Maltby, the sitting magistrate, for advice in the following affair : The eldest of the two ladies said her companion was the daughter of a tradesman, a foreigner, in Beak-street, Golden square. Her sister, a child about fourteen years of age, had been taken away from her home by a gentleman who had been on intimate terms with the family. The father had discovered that the girl was a consenting party, and that she had been taken to Liverpool, where she now was. The person who had taken her from home had just embarked for America, leaving the girl behind, and though the girl had been applied to by friends to return home, she had refused to do so. The father now wished to know whether he could not obtain some legal authority to get his erring child back again to her home. Mr. MAI.TIT said, as the girl was at Liverpool, he had no means of rendering the required assistance. The lady said the father wished to know whether he had not legal authority to compel his daughter, who was of such tender age, to return to his protection. In case she persisted in her refusal to return home, would he be justified in using: force ? Mr. NIALTIV said, the hest course for the father to take would be to proceed at once to Liverpool, and if he could not persuade his daughter to return with him, to apply to Ole police authorities there, who would no doubt render him all; the assistance in their power. The applicants thanked the magistrate, and retired. MAR YLEB(IN Yesterday Martha Carter, apparently not more than 29 years of age, was brought up in custody, and placed at the bar, before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Rawlinson, to answer the following charges, preferred against her by her master, Mr. N. B. Edmonstone, of 31, Sussex-gardens, Hyde-park. Mr. Eldon attended for the prosecutioo. Mr. Edmonstone stated, that the prisoner was cook in his establishment for upwards of two years, and that she was in the habit of paying his tradesmen's weekly bills. On the 7th of May last, he gave her 131. 9s. 3d., in order that she might settle various accounts, and, on Wednesday last, he ascertained that several persons, whom he imagined had been paid, had not received their money. He called the prisoner up into his drawing.room, and on telling her that she had not paid the sums as directed by him, she acknowledged the offence. Mr. Thomas Green, butcher, 3, Little Sussex-place, Hyde park-gardens; Mr. Benning, buttertnan, 82, Great Portland street ; Mr. Hembrey, milkman, 8, Davenport-mews, Pad dington; and Thomas Sadler, from the firm of De Castro and Co., Piccadilly, appeared to give evidence, and it was shown that in many cases the prisoner had signed the names of some of the said tradespeople to their books, and had thus for some time deceived her master, who imagined that the weekly bills were regularly settled. Sergeant Walker, 5 D, Paid, that he took the prisoner into custody, and on searching her boxes found therein two sheets belonging to her master. Oa the way to the station-house. the prisoner said she could not think what she had done with the money which her master had given her, and asked witness if he thought she should be transported. The prisoner, who had nothing to say in her defence, was fully committed for trial. Prosecutor slid that he had been robbed by the prisoner to a much greater amount than he had already stated. CLERKENWELE. John Roberts and James earthy were charged with cut ting and wounding Mr. Edmund C. Ward, a gentleman resid ing in Wilton-street, and police-constable 160 E ; also with a violent assault upon Bridger, beadle of St. Giles's, and with assaulting police-constable 49 E, and threatening to murder him. The prisoners are remarkably powerful men ; they have been repeatedly convicted at this court, and were, when old St. Ones and its " rookery" were in ex►stence, the terror of that neighbourhood. It appeared from the evidence, that at three o'clock on the previous evening these two fellows were observed standing at:the corner of Bedford-place, Russell-square, pushing everybody who attempted to pass along the pavement there into the street. Bridger, the beadle, having seen them treat a gentleman in this way, went up, but before he had time to say a word, M'Carthy knocked his hat off, Roberts then seized him by the collar, and M'Carthy by the skirts, and they dragged him about, knocked him down, and kicked him. Mr. Ward, who chanced to be passing, seeing M'Carthy aim a blow at the bea dle, rushed between them, whereupon Roberts, letting go his hold of Bridger, fell upon Mr. Ward with great fury ; he knocked him down and beat him so violently about the head, that he bled profusely from the mouth and nose, and in court his mouth•was' so- much swollen from the injuries received at to render his articulation indistinct. The prisoners, seeing assistance coming, ran away, but were stopped by Police-constable 160 E, who manfully seized them. This officer appeared in court with his head and face pladstered, and he complained of great pain. He de posed that as soon as he arrested them they knocked him down on the pavement, and kicked him violently on the head and body. His head was laid open and Roberts kicked the con stable on the face with his strongly nailed shoes, and lace rated his nose in a shocking way. They kicked him so that he was unable to stand, but he continued to struggle with them until police-constable 49 E and other constables arrived. They kicked the latter ocer violently, and swore they would rip his ►owels out T_he-police-:were at length obliged to strap them on stretchers, and 'so. convey them to the station-house. On their way thither they said all that could be done to them was to be fined ; that they would soon find the money, and then they would serve out the b— beadle. The prisoners put their hands in their pockets, and treated the whole affair with jocular indifference. They were fully committed for trial. LYNN AND DEREHAM RAILWAY. The first half-yearly meeting of this Company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street. Henry Charles Lacy, Esq., in the chair. Th 9 SECRETARY having read the advertisement con vening meeting, proceeded to lay before the Pro prietors)WipOort, which was merely a recapitulation of the prog'reif their' Bill through Parliament, and men tioning th - tii,i4i!ssity of electing auditors and directors. The eitaitiaka then moved that the report be re ceived, entered_oaslho minutes, and a copy seat to each • ,• • sh.ireholder. _ • , • Mr. • • ; seconded the resolution, which was carried , The the seal of the Company be affix 4;:...., -,reholders. Mr. ed the resolution, which • was cam r ay„ The c : 4l a.. ion the next form to be dis charged OH 66M - 0 auditors, an appointment which, uncterAtiii: ityisz:Tglauses Consolidation Act, was rendered impefative.' o,'t A SHAREHOLbER suggested: _that, as the Proprietors were comparatively ignorant of each other, it would be better that the Directors should name the gentlemen they considered most suitable for the office. The CHAIRMAN said that the Board could not nominate, but only suggest, gentlemen to discharge the duties of auditors. However, anticipating some difficulty might arise in the selection, he had drawn up a list of those who held the largest amount of shares in the Company. Mr. Tinker was, next to himself (the Chairman), the largest holder, having 525 shares ; but as he was the auditor of the Ely and Huntingdon Company, his elec tion would scarcely _be AilVisable. Mr. Lloyd held 400 shares, but he WaiLti,h6a.T.' Mr. Dawson held 350, but being a sharebrokera Liverpool, it was possible that at any period his interest in the Company might cease ; his election, therefore, would be inexpedient. Mr. Bruce, who held 310, was in the same category as Mr. Tinker, being connected with the Lynn and Ely - Company. Mr. R. C. Dawson held 230 shares, but being Secretary of the Milbank Penitentiary, his time would be too much occupied to give his undivided attention to their interests. Mr. Lechmere, a solicitor, was the next largest holler, having 225 shares, to whom no objection existed. He therefore suggested that either that gen tleman and Mr. Teether or Mr. G. Whitley, each holders of 200 shares, should be elected. Mr. BUNTING then moved, and Mr. SMITH seconded, the nomination of Mos -rs. Lechmere and Whitley, who were unanimously elected auditors. _ Mr. LECIIMEi returned thanks, and assured the meeting ho would do his duty conscientiously by the Company, which he considered would, when in con nexion with the two collateral lines near them (the Lynn and Ely and the Nottingham arid Grantham) become the best among the railway projects of the country. Mr. TABERNEIt moved that their late Board of Direc tors, consisting of Henry Charles Lacy (Chairman), Sir Henry It Calder. :'Thomas Neville Abdy, William Ere van], Henry C. Partridge, and J. B. Whiting, should be re-elected. Mr. SMITH seconded the resolution, which was car ried unanimously. Thanks were then passed to the Chairman and Direc tors, and the meeting separated. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH MIDLAND RAlL war.—Another melanchOly and fatal accident occurreg on the North Midland Railway, at Masborough, on Saturday last, by which a poor man, named Francis Dam, in the employ of Ur. Barker, of Rotherham, lost his life. The facts are briefly these :—One of the goods trains from Derby had arrived at the Masborough station at half-past one o'clock on Saturday, when a portion of the carriages —six in number—laden with iron, were detached from the train in order that they might run into one of the sidings, A fireman, named John Turner, was about to do this, when the deceased unfortunately attempted to cross the line, just as the train was shunting, or backing. He was knocked down, and three carriages passed over his legs and thighs, when, strange to say, with his legs dissevered, he ma naged to drag himself off the rail before the three remaining carriages, with engine and tender, passed over him. He was promptly conveyed to the Sheffield General Infirmary, where every attention was speedily paid him, but so great had been the shock to the system, accompinied with the loss of blood, that he died at five o'clock the same afternoon. An inquest was held on Monday afternoon. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death," accompanying the verdict with a re quest that the Coroner would write to the Secretary of the Midland Company, ••••• y that it was the opinion of the jury 0 that a man should ~stationed on the last carriage of the train when shit jury were also of opinion that the Masborough Ott . "cramped and limited for the business done there, 'an', enlarged. BONDED IVI/EA AOIHI Russell has ob tained a Parliamentary docurn which was yesterday printed, showing the quaMity of what in bond on the I st of July during the last eight years. T he paper shows that, on the Ist ult., there were 430,394 quarters of wheat in bond. The following is the account rendered from 1838 to 1845 :—ln 1838 there were of wheat and wheat flour in bond, 618,690 guar. tern ; 1839, 51,217 ; 1810, 5 , i9,952 ; 1841, 579,872 ; 1842, 1,253,436 ; 1843, 297,416 ; 1844, 604,122 ; and in 1845, 430 394. CALLING HARD NAMES.—The Granite Freeman has a sketch, by a correspondent, of an able lecture on slavery, lately delivered at New Market, N. H., by the veteran David Root, in which he thus meets the charge of using hard lan guage :—ln speaking of the compl lints that are made that we call the slaveholder hard names, he said, " If a man take my cloak clandestinely, I would call him a thief ; if he take it away by violence, I would call him a robber ; but, if he take my cloak and me, body and soul in it, and reduce me to a chat tel, I would call him a slaveholder 1"--Boston Chronicle. GAS EXPLOSION.—On Monday night an explosion from a defective gas-pipe, occurred is the shop of Mr. Smith, carpenter, Hosier-lane. In a few minutes the place was filled with flames, which threatened the destruction of the house. A large crowd collected, but no efforts were made to subdue the destructive element ; at length a daughter of Mr. Smith, not more than ten years of age, ran into the yard, and, after filling a pail with water, courageously threw it in the midst of the danger, and, with other aid, succeeded in checking the further progress of the fire. No serious injury was done. DARING ROBBERY.—Last evening, two men en tered the parlour of the George beer-shop, Burdett-street, Westminster-road, and, having consumed a pint of porter they had called for, went off carrying with them the clock, valued at 41. 10s. They must have been expert thieves, as they had to pass the landlord and his two son s on th e i r ex it, they being in the bar at the time. RAILWAY ACCI DE \ ANOTHER ACCIDENT ON THE NORTMERN AND EASTERN RAILWAY.—The recently-opened portion of the Northern and Eastern Railway, on which the late appalling accident took place, was the scene of another frightful occurrence on Tues day afternoon, of a somewhat similar character, and although it was not attended with such a deplorable loss of life as the previous one, yet several of the passengers have received serious contusions, and the escape of human life may be truly consi dered miraculous. It is necessary to state, that since General Pasley stated at the recent Coroner's inquiry, that it was highly dangerous for trains to pass over the newly constructed part of the road, viz. between Bishop's Stortford and Ely, at the rate of thirty miles an hour until it was properly consoli dated, the Company very promptly lessened the speed ; and which has been adhered to up the present time, making a difference in the arrival of trains of about an hour at the several stations. On the morning of Tuesday the usual day snail-train left the shoreditch terminus at half-past eleven o'clock, and proceeded with safety to Cambridge. After the necessary stoppage at that station the train renewed its course, and on arriving about two miles beyond Waterbeach, seven miles from Cambridge and the same distance this side of Ely, the engine ran off the rail on the left side, dragging the tender and the whole of the carriages after it. Fortu nately this part of the line is a perfect level ; and the en gine had cot travelled more than thirty or forty yards over the ballast before it completely turned over with the tender ieto a drain partly full of water. The luggage-v .n by the sudden jerk became detached, and the wheels were perfectly imbedded, a: d thus brought the remainder of the train to a stand-still. The alarm 'hat immediately ensued amongst the passengers may be well conceived under the circumstances. The head guard, who was in his usual seat, on the top of one of the carriages, perceiving that the engine had run off the line, jumped front his place on to the road. The step of his seat was driven through the plate-glass window of a first-&ass carriage, in which were seated three ladies, one of whom was much cut by the glass. Tho cries of the females are described to have been of the mast piercing character, and it was with some difficulty that their excited feelings could be subdued. During the confusion a painful alarm was created for the safety of the en ine-driver and stoker, as they were seen to be on the engine when it capsized. To the surprise and gratification of all, however, the poor fellows, evidently much terrified, were seen wading through the water in the ditch unhurt. It ap pears that as the engine turned over they were thrown some distance from it into the pool, and were accordingly pre served. As soon as the affrighted passengers were removed from the carriages, messengers were dispatched to Ely and Waterbeach for the aid of pilot engines in order to replace the train. In the meanwhile most of the passengers posted on to Ely, and on the guard making a strict examination as to what was likely to have caused the accident, they found about three inches of metal cut off one of the outer rails at a joint, and on searching about found the piece, which they took charge of and brought it up to town yesterday, and delivered it into the hands of Mr. Dowling, the superintendent of the line, in order to assist the official inquiry which will be instituted relative to the occurrence. On the arrival of the pilot engines, and a number of assistants, active measures were adopted to raise and place the carriages on the line, which, in the course of a few hours, was accomplished, and at four o'clock the train resumed its journey to Norwich. To remove the engine and tender from the ditch by the means then available was perfectly im possible, and they were accordingly left. They were both embedded to a considerable extent in the ballast. It is said they will remain in the same state until inspected by Major- General Pasley. The guard of the train says that the speed of the train at the time of the accident was from about twenty to twenty-five miles an hour. The carriages were shattered by the shock, but not to any extent, as they were capable of re suming their place in the train. The official report of the affair states that no passengers were hurt, but on making fur ther inquiries we were informed that there were some; though not materially. It is worthy of remark that the Company's servants afforded every facility to collect the correct particulars of the unfortunate event, and evinced not the least desire to "hush it up." The Cambridge Advertiser says, in reference to the above accident :—" Most fortunately there were but ten passengers, and we are able to state, notwithstanding the difficulty we have had in obtaining authentic information, that no one was se riously injured, except one passenger, who received some severe injuries in the face, although the shock was tremendous, and for the moment every one was convulsed with horror and dis may. After two or three hours' delay everything was ad justed, and the train proceeded on its way, but it is impossible to describe the mingled sensations of apprehension and horror which this unfortunate accident has occasioned. • It is not, of course, ou: business to regulate the railway, but something must be done, and that immediately, to insure the safety of the public. Better, far better, will it be to return to our old stage coaches, which, after all, were the glory and admiration of our town and neighbourhood, till the safety of the railway is completely and assuredly ascertained, than to have the lives and limbs of those who are nearest and dearest to us continually in peril." ACCIDENTS ON THE NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY.— An accident occurred last Sunday, at the Derby station, to the mail train from Leeds, which, though fortunately not attended with fatal results, was productive of serious injury and alarm to the passengers. The train had reached the ticket plat form in safety, when the highly-repreheneilgle practice of de taching the engine from the front, and placing it at the back of the train, to propel it into the station, was adopted. The engine not having been stopped in time, or the break not applied, the train was forced into the station-house with great violence, smashing the first carriage and throwing it up on the platform, and breaking the strong iron and wood balustrades that are placed there to keep off the passengers. All the pas sengers were thrown from their seats by the violence of the shock. Fortunately no bones were broken, but many persons received severe cuts and contusions—heads and faces were dread fully disfigured, and one lady was sadly shaken by the concus sion. Several minutes elapsed before any attention was paid to the injured individuals, who were at length taken to the infirmary, where their wounds and bruises were dressed, after which they were enabled to proceed by the next train. In this accident not the slightest palliative presents itself for the recklessness of •the railway people. The practice of placing an engine behind the train has been so repeatedly condemned by public. 'opinion, that it seems an act of wanton trifling with 41sialiserise nod limbs of the passengers to resort to such a dans riesestietinide et propulsion. We trust that a good inquiry will be Made into•the affair, and that the culpable parties may be dismissed from_ the company's service. EXPLOSION OF A LOCOMOTIVE BOILER.—As the half-past eight parliamentary train, or that which carries passengers at Id. a mile, was standing at the Walton station on the Soutii western Railway on its down journey yesterday, the engine being then taking in water, and the engine-man beneath ex amining his engine, as is customary during a stoppage, a sud den explosion took place, and the steam rusbedesist at the fire door in tedirectien so that the engine-man was eeygreltscalded. The fireinarrescaped unhurt. The only °thee Isers; : tn who sustained'injury was not a passenger, but a bystander.• He was struck on the back of his head by a piece of coke, but with no great force. ACCIDENT AT THE BRICKLAYER'S AR.MS STATION OF THE DOVER RarLway.--Yesterday afternoon, about half past four o'clock, an accident occurred at the Bricklayers' Arms station of the Dover Railway, by which a man named Richard Smith, aged thirty years, sustained a severe injury. He was engaged in*Leronving one of the iron tables, a machinery used for shifting eiftiages from one part of the line to another, and whilst so employed his left hand became jammed between the chains by which such movement is effected. From ap pearances it was feared that the whole of his fingers were cut off, but on being conveyed to Guy's Hospital, - it voix.ascer tained that thsethumb and middle finger had bOrinierred, but from the nature of the injuries Mr. Forster, the house surgeon, deemed it necessary to remove a portion of the bone of each member. The poor fellow suffered excruciating torments. He is, however, doing well. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LANCASTER. AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—An inquest was held on Tuesday last the 19th inst., before R. Wilson, Esq., Coroner, at Borrowbridge, near Boston, on the bady of a man named Todd, who met his death while working on that line of railway, at a viaduct near the above place. It appeared from the evidence that there is attached to the works a small stage, beneath which there are conducting rods for the purpose of moving it to different parts as the operations require. On this stage is placed a small crane, used for drawing up stones for the erection of the via duct. By some cause or other, not ascertained, these rods broke, and the stage, being weakened, gave way with the crane, from which was suspended by a rope a great block of stone. There were two men on the stage, who were precipitated to the ground, and there were three others below. 'the five men were also very seriously injured. Todd (the deceased) had his arm very dreadfully lacerated, his left thigh fractured, and a compound dislocation of the ancle joint. He died, after the most extreme suffering, on Monday morning last. Another man, name Brown, had sustained a compound fracture of the leg, the muscles and integuments being dreadfully torn, and amputation above the knee was found to be immediately neces sary. The other men are more or less severely injured. THE CORN TRADE. LIVERPOOL, AUG. 19. The dull accounts from London last week pat an extinguisher upon all life in the corn trade here, and the few sales effected in Wheat were rather in favour of the buyer ; other articles remained steady in value. On Sunday night considerable rain fell, and yesterday was showery with a warmer temperature, being decidedly the most dangerous day we have yet had. A great portion of the Wheat in this district has suffered severely from wet, inclement weather, being sadly discoloured, mildewed, and blighted, and we believe the injury already sustained by the crops in this kingdom to be of a more serious character than is generally supposed ; the last two weeks the crops have made very little advance toward ripening, consequently a September, if not an October, gather ing of the new grain is the prospect before us, with all the re tarding consequences of shortened days and lengthened nights. The weight of the new Wheat cannot, even if hot continued sunshine should visit us, equal last year's growth by two or three pounds per imperial bushel. Exported to Ireland from the 12th to the 18th inst. inclusive :-132 qrs. Indian corn. ; Coastwise, 67 qrs. Wheat, 300 qra. Rye, 175 Ids. Oatmeal, 268 sks. and 120 brls. Flour. The weather is alarming, but the lower account from London for Wheat prevented any ad vance here to-day ; holders, feeling certain that old Wheat must increase in value, were more firm. For all other articles we repeat our quotations of this day week. AUGUST 20. —Last night was wild and wet; to-day has been much like a cold, rough, and strong one in February. Specu lators and dealers also have been at work here to-day in wheat, and trying in vain to get bonded flour at the late advanced rates. Wheat made Id. to 3d. for 701b5., and in one instance 4(1. over yesterday's terms. The prospect for the growing wheat is gloomy in the extreme. The new trial of Messrs. Walker, Lambert, Pey.. ronnet, Fraser, Ogleby, Drummond Baring (who is still in de fault), and Emma Caye, for cheating at play with marked cards, ordered by the Court of Cessation, on its quashing the last judgment against the parties, to take place before the Cour Royale at Rouen, commenced on Thursday and lasted till Sa turday inclusively. All the accused parties appeared in court except Mr. Drummond Baring. Emma Cave was even more elegantly dressed than when she came before the Court of Paris, and was the object of general curiosity, but s h e pertina ciously kept her veil down during the whole of the time, so that her face could not be seen. The statement of the grounds of prosecution and the evidence in support of it, and the argu ments of the counsel on both sides, were so nearly the same as those which we have repeatedly stated, that it is quite unneces sary for us to give any further details of the circumstances of the trial. We shall, therefore, content ourselves with announc ing that M. Frank Carre, the president of the court, pro nounced the judgment, declaring all the parties to be guilty, and condemning Lambert to be imprisoned for five years, Walker and Peyronnet for three years, Fraser and Ogleby for two years, and Emma Caye for one year. They were each ad judged to pay a fine of 50f., and made liable, jointly and severally, to the payment of all the costs. Another appeal will no doubt be carried up to the Court of Cassation, upon the same grounds that produced the reversal of the farmer judg ment of the Cour Royale of Paris, which, however, had not imposed so heavy a sentence as that now pronounced against the prisoners Lambert, Peyronnet, Walker, Fraser, and Baring, having been condemned only to two years' imprisonment, and Ogleby and Emma Ca) e to one year.— Galignani.

Rowley, the Port Admirul. having been despatched to Brighton in the Mercury tender to prepare fur the gal lant admiral's arrival there. The following notice was exhibited at the Royal Naval College in the dockyard, and at the George Hotel, Ports mouth, last evening : " The Earl of Haddington will see officers at the Naval College at a quarter before ten o'clock to• morrow morn ing. " Officers who have had an interview with his Lord ship since AuAust, 1844, cannot be received at this levee. " The list for names iy at the college. " Admiralty-house, Monday, August 18." We are sorry to announce, however, that last evening the noble earl was afflicted «nth an attack of his old com plaint (palpitation of the heart), which has confined him to the yacht the whole of this day. The levee is conse• quently postponed. The following officers entered their names for presen tation : Captains.—Hendry (1822) ; Campbell (Royal Ma rine?). Lieutenants.--D.

Captain Carter, Superintendent, Mr. Town, Master-Attendant, and Mr. Grant, Storekeeper, who conducted their Lordships over the entire estab lishment. Their Lordships ordered plans to be forwarded to Whitehall of a reception-room for the terminus of the railway in the Clarence-yard for the use of her Majesty. At about a quarter past 11 o'clock the Board left the Clarence-yard in a e.arriage,-and proceeded to the Royal Hospital at Hailar,• where - their Lordships were con ducted over the establishment by Captain Carter, the Superintendent. . Their Lordships left the Royal Hospital and returned by carriage to the Clarence-yard at a quarter past one o'clock, and embarked in the barge of the . Commander in•Chief (which had been some time in waiting, in charge of Flag Lieutenant Triscott), and proceeded on board the Black Eagle to luncheon. After which, their Lord ships returned to the dockyard to complete their inspec tion. They visited the various storehouses and new works, and especially the steam basin now in course of construction by Mr. Peter Rolt, the contractor, the new ships, boat-house, &e. Lieutenant W. E. Triscott (1837, acting First-Lieu tenant to Admiral Sir Charles Rowley) is in attendance upon their Lordships as their Flag-Lieutenant. On inquiry this evening, we were informed the Earl of lladdington was better in health, but unable to accom pany the other honourable members of the Board in their inspection of the dockyard. Admiral Sir Charles Rowley, Bart., Commander- in- Chief at this port, went on a month's leave this morning to Brighton.

White ford, Bennett, and Tucker, of Plymouth, attorneys, on behalf of a newly-formed company at Ply mouth, for the construction of la new floating basin inside the pier at Millbay (a survey of the locality for whi th was made in 1838), the Lords of the Admiralty have directed the Port-Admiral, Sir John West, Mr. Walker, harbour master, and Mr. Lulu-del.., master-attendant, to view and report on the proposed site.
