It is proposed that the course of this line shall be from the Wor cester station of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Rail way to a point near Malvern, where the line will be divided into two branches ; the one branch proceeding through or near the parish of Bostbury (from whence there will be a branch to Ledbury) to Here ford, where it will run Into the station of the Great Western Com pany's Monmouth and Hereford Railway, and the projected Hereford and Shrewsbury Railway. The other branch will proceed from the point of division near Mal veny straight to Gloucester, and will join the Gloucester and Dean Forest Railway near that city. This line will pass rather more than half a mile below Great Mal vern, and not far distant from the town of Upton-on-Severn, both of witch places arc at present entirely shut out from the benefits of rail way communication. The country has already been inspected, under the direction of the engineer, and it Is found that there are no engineering difficulties of a serious character to be overcome ; and indeed the greater portion of the line presents a course extremely favourable for a railway, the gradients being very easy. Near the point of division at Malvern the Hereford line will cross a portion of the Malvern range by one or more tunnels ; but the whole length of the tunnelling will not much exceed one mile. From the other side of Malvern to Hereford the surface ofthe country is as favourable as could be desired. The Gloucester line, from the point of division to its terminus, will !pass tteetigh a country peculiarly favo ura bl e , th e surface being throughottrnearly one continuous level. With regard to the immediate local advantages offered by the proposed railway, it will effect the most direct communication be tween the eities of Worcester and Hereford, and Gloucester and Worcester, and between those citiesand the delightful watering place and favourite summer residence of Great Malvern, to which it will also give an easy and expeditious access from other popolous but mere remote districts. The important market town of Ledbury, with the rich corn, fruit, and hop district around it, will also be brought into closer and raore profitable connexion with the three cities ; and it cannot fail to make a considerable addition to the traffic between Worcester and the Port of Gloucester. The facilities presented by the proposed railway for increasing and developing traffic in a more general and national point of view, are of a very extended character. Joining the Forest of Dean and Mon mouth Railways, it will afford a ready means of transit to South Wales, and by its junction with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton line, and with the projected line to Port Dynnlaen, it will give railway communication with the manufacturing and mining oistricts of the north of England—especially of South Staffordshire and Worcestershire, and also with North Wales and Ireland ; and by means of the Great Western Railway, which it joins at Gloucester, it will complete an unbroken broad gauge line from Wolverhampton to Exeter In the one direction, and from Pembroke to Wolverhampton In the other. It will effect a considerable saving in distance between the port of Gloucester and Wolverhampton, and all parts of the north ; it will ba the nearest possible route from the extreme west of Eng land, and from South Wales. to all' places north of Wolverhampton. The enumeration of the places and districts to be traversed by the proposed line, and a description of its cotn3e, sufficiently indicate that It may fairly be expected to command a remunerating amount of traffic. It will supply to theport of Gloucester Important and'hulky articles of expert, drawn from the mining and manufacturing district of South Staffordshire and Worcestershire ; and will still further deve lop the resources of those districts by increased facility of communi cation with their natural port. The importance of this branch of the traffic can scarcely be over -estimated in one portion of the district alone —vir., between Wolverhampton and Stourbridge, there are about 100 blist furnaces in work, producing nearly 500,000 tons of pig iron Annually, and it is admitted that the want of railway facili ties have hitherto greatly hindered the development of an important export trade from this district. The wo:ks at Droltwich and Stoke Prior can furnish any quantity of salt. The carpet manufactories :of Kidderminster, the iron and glass works at Stourbridge, Dudley, and their populous neghbourhood, will also supply an important amount of traffic —certainly far beyond that now carried on with the present insufficient means of transit between those places and the district to be affected by the proposedline. The Hereford bifineh of the line offers to the agriculturists of the counties of Hereford, Radnor, and Brecon theeadvantages of cheap and ready means of access to their principal markets. It will be an important advantage to them to have their cattle, corn, hops, fruit, wool, and other produce, speedily and cheaply conveyed to the great markets of Worcester and Birmingham, and the towns in the centre of the great manufacturing population of Staffordshire and Worces tershire ; the advantages, toe, will be mutual, as the line will afford equal facilities for the conveyance of the mineral and manufacturing produce of the north to the rural districts. The population of the districts affected by the proposed line, rec koning from Wolverhampton to Gloucester on the one hand, and from the same place to Hereford on the other, is not less than 400,000; and from the position of the country traversed, the line must be fed by all the railways constructed, or to be formed, on either side. There can, therefore, he no reasonable doubt of the Worcester, Hereford, and Gloucester line commanding a traffic so considerable as to yield an ample remuneration for the requisite capital. The usual power will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow Interest at 4 per cent. per annum on the deposits, and no subscriber will be answerable for more than the amount of his deposit of 21.45. per share until the Act is obtained, an d then not beyond the amount of his subscription. Prospectuses may be had of the respective solicitors, or at the London Ofifces of the Company, 449, West Strand, London. Oct. 1, 1845 WORCESTER., HEREFORD, and GLOU CESTER RAILWAY. The Committee of Management, In consequence of receiving daily applications for Mitres in this Company, beg to state th tt the lists of applications have been closed forsome time. The allotment is now in progress, and the letters will be issued as soon as the requisite examination has taken place. The Committee regret that the number of shares applied for having so greatly exceeded the number at their disposal, they will be compelled iu all cases greatly to reduce the number applied for, and to omit entirely many applications from respectable parties to whom they would otherwise have been desir ous to make allotments.

SIVAVENEY VALLEY and GREAT YAR. At a Public Meeting ' o l f rO ge T l ß m A bitnl t o Y f . the town and borough of Great Yarmouth, held In pursuance of a requisition to the Mayor, at the Town hall of Great Yarmouth, on Saturday, Sept, 27, 1845, The Worshipful the 111AYOR in the Chair, It was moved by ßight GEORGE DANBT PALMER, Esq., seconded by A, STEWARD, Esq., and resolved unanimously, That it is the opinion of this Meeting, that at present YarMOiltl is without ade qua t e railway accommodation between Yarmouth and London, the Norfolk Railway being 146 miles, 23 miles farther than the accustomed coach-road, not to mention the very inconvenient distance of the present railway terminus from the shipping and places of public bueiness. It was moved by Mr. WILSIIEXE, Esq., M.P., seconded by Simon Colts, Esq., and resolved, with six dissentients, That this meeting strongly deprecates the attempt of the Norfolk Company to monopolise the railway communication between Yar mouth and London, and cannot but regard the proposition to accom modate Yarmouth by a circuitous route from Beccles, across a na vigable river at Reedham, to join on a line terminating on the west side of the river Bure, and at the extreme end of the town, as inimical to the inhabitants and highly injurious to the trade of this port. It was moved by BENJAMIN FENN, Esq., Seconded by THOMAS larris, jun., Esq., and resolved unanimously, That the contemplated railway, called the Waveney Valley and Great Yarmouth Railway, presents to this port, and especially to its fishing, a convenient and desirable communication between Yar mouth and London, while it takes a route shorter by 23 miles than the line by Cambridge. It passes through and preserves a com munication with a dense population along the line, which has long profitably existed, full which it is exceedingly desirable to main tain. At the same time, this meeting would express its unqualified confidence in the Directors who have so kindly consented to under take the conduct of the Bill in the ensuing Parliament. It was moved by SAMUEL PAorr, Esq. ; seconded by A. Per;atzs, Esq. ; and resolved unanimously, That this Meeting pledges itself to give its best support e and secure the success of the Waveney Valley and GreatYarmouth Railway. (Signed) - WM. HURRY PALMER, 3fayor, Chairman.

This Railway will commence at the important town of Wolver hampton, proceeding through or near to Seisdon, Trysull and Claverley, to the manufacturing town of Brldgnorth ; from thence it will continue through a rich agricultural and populous district to Ludlow, and there fall into other projected lines to all parts of Eng land, North and South 'Wales, and Ireland. a distance of about the miles. It will afford direct communication between Ludlow, Bridgnorth and Wolverhampton, Dudley, &c.; and, by the South Staffordshire Junction Railway, give to those towns and districts the ;most direct route for passengers and goods to and from the Central, North Eastern and Eastern parts of the Kingdom, and from which those towns have hitherto been excluded by every project of the day. It will convey to the agricultural districts of Herefordshire and South Shropshire, and also to the towns of Bridgnorth and Ludlow, coals and the mineral productions of Staffordshire, Worcestershire, and the Clee Hills, at nearly one-half the present cost of those ne cessary articles, and be the means of conveyance for corn, cattle, sheep, cider, wool, hops and other agricultural productions, as also timber from the before -mentioned agricultural counties, to the heart of the mining and manufacturing districts, wkich cannot fail to pro duce an immense traffic. To the towns embraced in this line, the value of obtaining thereby, at the cheapest rate, coal and the necessaries of life, will be of the ut most importance. One principal feature in this projection is, that as either Ludlow or Bridgnorth will lie in the direct route of one of the projects to be pro posed to Parliament in the next session, for the most direct commu nication between Ireland and the metropolis, this line will thereby afford to passengers the easiest communication to and from the cen tral parts of the kingdom. It is satisfactory to the promoters to state that they have the sanc tion of the Grand Junction Company, and the co-operation of the Shrewsbury, Wolverhampton and South Staffordshire Junction, and the South Staffordshire Junction Companies, and that no project has been announced in competition with its acknowledged claim on public support. The whole line is free from engineering difficulties, and can be constructed at a moderate cost, and has obtained the approval of the landed interest, whose ornamental properties have been strictly pro tected. Until an Act of Parliament shall be obtained, the affairs of the Company will be under the direction and control of the Committee of Management, who are hereby empowered to enter into such arrange ments as shall best serve the interests of this Company, and the public. with existing or projected Companies. and also to nominate the first Directors of the Company. Power will be under Act to limit yof .hareholders to the taken amount of the their subscription, the and t p o onsibilit allow four per cent. Interest on the calls. Preference to the allotment of shares will be given to those locally interested, and to the shareholders of lines in connexion with this.

SOLlClTOlt—Charles Wright, Esq., 27, Essex-street, Strand.. The object of this line of Railway is to connect the towns of Faken ham, Holt, and Cromer, with the important borough and seaport of Kings Lynn, and by means of the various projected lines; in that neighbourhood, to extend the communication to every part of Nor folk, Cambridge, Lincolnshire, and the North and West of England, a connexion which must materially increase the importance of Lynn, at a time when that successful national undertaking—" The great level of the Wash"—ls rapidly progressing towards accomplishment. The delightful town of Cromer, which is a favourite resort, will by means of this railroad become easily accessible not only to the more immediate district, but also to the visitors from both the Midland and Northern Counties, who will thereby be enabled with facility to avail themselves of its advantages. The important town of Fakenham, together with Holt, surrounded by a rich agricultural country, will, by this line, obtain the advantage not only of general railway conveyance, but also of an intimate con nexion with the flourishing ports of Kings Lynn and Wisneach, places of considerable importance, from their integral trade and vast experts, together with the Several places connected with them by means of the present existing railways. Incontestable evidence was received by the Parliamentary Com mittees during the last session, that wheat and all other —rain was usually from 2s. to Is. rer quarter lower In price in the neighbourhood Of this line than at Norwich—a depreciation which will be completely obviated by this line of railway—the same effect will equally or even more strongly appear with respect to all artificial manures, and the consequent great increase in value of the whole of the land in this district. This Line, when formed, will be the nearest road to London, via Lynn, by upwards of twenty miles, for all places north of the Line, and it will be in the immediate proximity of, and will afford ACCOM modation to; Holkham, Rainham, Melton Constable, Houghton, and nil ington. count think It unnecessary to present any detailed ac count ofthe presumed revenue, as the importance of the orominunica- Mil, and the extent of the population, must ensure a profitable re turn upon the capital to be employed. Tho country presents no en gineering difficulties whatever, on the eontrary, it oilers unexcep tionable gradients. The Directors have been fortunate in securing the services of a most competent and thoroughly practical Engineer, who will person ally devote his energies to the completion of the undertaking.

An elderly man, who stated his name to be James Wyatt, and was reported to be a Lieutenant-Colonel, and a young man, named Jonas Quested, were brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with a misdemeanour of the most revolting description. George Foster, policeman 425, stated that in consequence of information winch he had received, he hadwatched Wyatt sometimes three or four times a week, and had seen quite enough of the conduct of that individual to show him that there was strong ground fqr the very worst suspicion about him. At last witness saw Wyatt and Quested, who met in the street, go into a public-house together, and observed what confirmed him•and two other witnesses in the opinion he had formed of the character of the old man. The evidence of Foster was corroborated to the full extent by Arthur Finn, policeman 276, and the waiter of the house. A solicitor cross-examined the witness for the prisoner Wyatt. The prisoner Quested, upon being asked by the Lord Mayor whether he wished to say anything, stated that he first saw Colonel Wyatt in King 'William-street, at a shop, where the Colonel called as a en:tomer, about- two months ago, ar where he (Quested) served 'behind the counter • " afterwards saw the Colonel in the street, and was i him into the public-house, and that they were not lon b gether before he discovered what soot of person the Cuhme was.

GUILDHALL. The examination of Daniel Garratt, the railway thief, was resumed before Mr. Alderman H. Hughes. The Lord Mayor elect and Mr. Alderman Challis were also on the bench. The justice-room was crowded with persons interested in the case. Mr. Clarkson, for the prosecution, began by calling a wit ness to complete the first charge, that the prisoner stole, and Maynard, the estate agent in Howland -street, received, the letter-case, containing bills to the amount of 2,0004 the pro pay of Mr. Vaughan Prance, of Nether Stowey, Bridg water, solicitor. John Rowland Wilson, the landlord of the Blossoms Inn, Lawrence-lase, stated that he knew the prisoner Garratt ; he became acquainted with him eight years ago by lodging in the same house. On the 7th of August a friend left town, and witness went to see him on the.4th or sth. On which ever day it was, the prisoner came to the Blossoms Inn, which l►e had not visited before, or since, and stayed a short time. It was about noon ; lie asked the prisoner to wait till after dinner, and then he would accompany him to - the west end of the town, where he was going to see a friend. The prisoner declined, saying he was waiting for a friend. It was on the sth of August that Maynard attended, about noon, at the Guildhall Coffee-house with Mr. Prance's desk, when lie was given into custody, and it was presumed Maynard was the person the prisoner said he was waiting for. Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES committed the prisoner on this case. ➢lr. Alderman H. HuGnE3 said there had been nothijig in his conduct :to justify any such observations. He had dis played an ability and discretion in pursuing the investigation for which the public were infinitely indebted to him. - - MAIILBOROUGH-STREET. Walter King was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with stealing a valuable print from the shop of Mr. Pizzali, of Regent-street. The prisoner was seen to go into the shop and take up the print and walk away with it on his shoulder. He was pur sued, and stopped with the property in his possession. The prisoner, when asked to state what he had to offer in defence, burst into tears, and said he had taken the print through distress. He bad formerly been in respectable cir cumstances, but latterly had become so much reduced, that he had no settled place of abode, and procured a scanty living by carrying loads for those who chose to give him a job. Ile was well known at that court from the circumstance of his father, a baker in the parish, having fur many years supplied the resident magistrate's family with bread. The prisoner added that he had been an inmate of more than one lunatic asylum. The evidence being complete, the depositions were taken, and the prisoner was fully committed. LAMB r. TH. Mr. Vickery, a solicitor, attended before Mr. Henry, at the request of that magistrate, to give an explanation in refer • ence to a statement which he had made respecting the con nexions of the Rev. James West, and also to hear the state ments of Ferguson and Horsford, officers of the Mendicity Society, in referen ce t o t h e pi isoner.- Mr. Ifeernr, addressing Mr. Vickery, reminded him of his appearing at the examination of a pri oner who had given the name of Fletcher, and his making a statement relative to the prisoner's high connexions, and also giving the names of distinguished' persons as his near relations. Since the publi cation of the case, he (Mr. Henry) had received several letters relative to the prisoner, and one from Earl Delawarr denying the accuracy of his (Mr. Vickery's) assertion that the prisoner was a nephew of his. He (Mr. Henry) was anxious to hear from Mr. Vickery whether the statement he had made about the prisoner was from circumstances which were personally known to him, or were merely derived from the prisoner's own representations ? Mr. - Vickery replied, he would state the whole of the cir cumstances, and all he knew about the prisoner. About the . year 1830 or 1831 he first became acquainted with the pri soner, through his applying to his (Mr. Vickery's) brother to dispose of some shares in an insurance -office, and the mat ter was ref e rred t o hi m to ascertain the value of the shares, &c. The result was that he advised his brother to have no thing to do with the shares, but, notwithstanding, an ac quaintance commenced between himself and Mr. West, whom he then considered to be a person of great respectabi lity and highly connected. West had not only represented himself to him as the nephew of Lord Delawarr, but he had frequently seen him write notes which he represented were intended for the Noble Earl, written in the most familiar style, and beginning "My dear uncle ;" but he (Mr. Vickery) could not take upon himself to say that they had ever been posted. Mr. HENRY here remarked that the Earl Delawarr had no brother, and it was impossible, therefore, that the prisoner could be a nephew of his. Mr. Vickery proceeded to say, that besides the prisoner.'s representations, there was another circumstance which led him to believe the prisoner stood in the degree of relationship to the Noble Earl he stated, and that was, he was present when West gave an order to Mr. Holder, of Battle-bridge, to execute the arms of Lord Delawarr in stained glass, for the purpose of his presenting it to " his uncle ;" but Mr. Holder had fortunately neglected to attend to his directions. From about 1834, until two years and a half ago, he lost sight of the prisoner, and the first place lie saw him was close to the London-bridge Wharf. He then represented that he bad not long arrived from the Continent; that his wife was at the Spread Eagle Hotel • that he was i n want of some cash, and asked him (Mr. Vickery) to get a small bill done for him. Such was his opinion of his respectability and honour, that he actually got a bill of his for 40/. discounted by a friend, and that bill he had since to pay himself. After his first examination at this Court his wife called upon him (Mr. Vickery), and requested he would interfere in her husband's behalf, and having clients to visit at Horsemongerelane gaol, he saw the prisoner there, and he also requested lie would assist him professionally. The evidence against him was, however, so conclusive of his guilt, that he told him he could be of no service to.him whatever, and that his beat defence would be the fact as he had represented, that he had been driven to the commission of the offence through distress and that alone. He (Mr. Vickery), however, promised to attend his examination, and did so, but it was not his intention to have interfered in any way. His Worship would recollect that what he had stated was after Mr. Henry bad committed the prisoner for trial , • so that his - etaternent had not influ enced his worship's decision. He wished also to add that he had not the least idea, when lie made the statement, that it would find its way before the public; and he regretted ex ceedingly that he should have been unintentionally led to snake a statement calculated to give the slightest pain or annoyance to any one. Indeed, upon seeing the contradic tion in the papers, it was his (Mr. Vickers's) intention to have written to Lord Delawarr, end also to have waited upon his worship to exonerate himself from any intention to mis lead or misrepresent. Mr. HENRY was quite satisfied that Mr. Vickery had been himself imposed upon by the prisoner's representations, which were so well calculated to mislead. The publication of the case afforded additional proof of the beneficial results of the publication of cases at police-courts, as it had brought forth many facts relative to the histoty and crimes of the prisoner beneficial to the ends of justice. In the first place the pri soner gave the name of James Fletcher, end had it not acci dentally transpired that his name was different, and that the statement of Mr. Vickery obtained publicity, he would have been tried for an offence which before a jury might be made to appear very trifling and induced by actual distress, and lie would perhaps have been acquitted or let off will' a slight punishment. The publication of the case, however, attracted the attention of the officers of the Mendicity Society, two of whom were then present, and the consequence was the dis closure of his being a notorious begging letter impostor. Horsford, one of the Mendicity officers, said he was pre sent at the prisoner's conviction, and then stated. to the ma gistrate the fact of his being a begging letter impostor. He also handed in a card, . which be found- on a notorious im postor who called himself the Hon. Mr. Stafford, who had been examined before the Lord Mayor, upon which was written " The Rev. Mr. West, M.A., 1/.," which, he said, showed the connexion between him and the prisoner. The card was here shown to Mr. Vickery, and he at once recognised the Writing to be that of the prisoner West. Mr. Vickery declared he had not the slightest idea that West was the character he had been described. He was per fectly satisfied that the father and mother of the prisoner were respectable persons, and he had in his hand a letter from his mother declining to do anything for him, and stating, that for some considerable time his father and bro ther had ceased even to open his letters to them. Mr. HENRY expressed himself satisfied with the explana tion of Mr. Vickery, and.directed Ferguson and Horsford to attend the trial of the prisoner at the ensuing Surrey Ses sions, and if found guilty to put the Court in possession of all his previous misconduct. The reverend delinquent still remains in prison, and it is very likely he will remain there until his trial, as from his previous character and conduct it is not likely he will find bail.

A sad accident occurred on Friday afternoon, at Toms's brewery, Stoke. A child fell into the copper of boiling water, and a man in att em pti ng to rescue it f e ll i n likewise. They were both so dreadfully scalded that but faint hopes are entertained of their recovery.—Devonport Telegraph. Mr. Clarkson then proceeded to a new case. William John Winte r , o f 47, Jewin-street, said he came from Barnstaple to London by the Great Western line on the 26th of August. Ills luggage consisted of a carpet bag, containing apparel, and a hat-case, containing a hat. On reaching the terminus his luggage could not be found. He valued it at 121. and claimed it from the Company. His name on a card was sewed to the bag, and also was on the handle of the hat-case. The carpet bag, hat-case, shirts, and other articles were produced, and identified by the witness. The marks had been removed from a part of the linen. Collard, the superintendent of the railway police, stated that he found a part of the property at the prisoner's lodgings at Lisson-green, where he apprehended him. The carpet bag, hat, and hat-case he received from Mr. Hawkins, a wine merchant, at Kennington-green, who purchased them from the prisoner while he was lodging at the Cock, at Kennington, and the rest he received from Mr. Clarke, the landlord of the Cock. Mr. Clarke, of the Cock, Kennington-common, said his sister-in-law assisted hint in his business. He received the six shirts produced from her. The prisoner lodged in his house from the 14th of August to the sth of September. Mrs. Mary Ann Clarke corroborated his evidence. The prisoner used to be away for three or four days at a time. About the end of August he called her into his bed-room, and asked her to buy a half-dozen of shirts, the collars of which buttoned behind, instead of down the front. He said he was going abroad, and had more luggage than he wanted. While she was looking at them she was called down stairs, and he rolled them up, put them in her hand, and said, " There, take them." Sh e s h ou ld h ave returned them, if she had not been in the country on the day the prisoner left. She gave them to her brother when the officer and Mr. Nash came to inquire about the prisoner. Mr. Thwaites, the prisoner's solicitor, declined to cross examine the witnesses. Mr. Clarkson submitted that he had clearly shown a pos session of the property recently after it was stolen. Mr. Alderman H. IluGnEs asked Mrs. Clarke if the pri soner brought in fresh luggage from time to time while he was staying'at the house ? She said she saw none brought in. The Alderman asked whether three shirts produced by Mr. Clarke, and which Mr. Winter did not identify, were owned? Mr. Nash said they were part of the large quantity of arti cles found, and which were almost daily advertised, but which had not yet been claimed. The prisoner was then committed on this charge. Mr. Clarkson then proceeded to a case of robbery on the South-Western Railway. At present the gentleman who was robbed, a Mr. Bedingfield, was too ill to attend, but he should offer some evidence. Mr. Bedingfield was on his way from Gosport to London, after witnessing the sailing of the expe rimental squadr o n, when his travelli ng case was sto l en, con taining app are l and money to the amount of 50/. He adver tised and received by the Parcels' Delivery Company a parcel containing Ms pocketbook, and any papers that could not be converted into money. -' Mrs. Isabella White, carrying on business as a hosier in the Strand, said Mr. Bedingfield had lodged in her house for seve ral years. She, with a friend, met him at Gosport on the 15th of July, and returned with him to town. She saw his travel ling case at the Red Lion, at Portsea, and on reaching London it was missed. They were told it had been put along with witness's luggage, and it was " all right." This, however, turned out to be otherwise. She identified a blouse, shooting jacket, a stock, and some other articles. Mr. Bedingfield brought home a day or two afterwards a parcel he had re ceived, addressed to No. 50, Old Change. The wrapper was the same now produced. Mr. Wilson, of the Blossoms Inn, was examined as to the handwriting of the direction. He believed it was the prisoner's but he would not swear to it. The prisoner asked permission to look at it, and then. much excited, exclaiined, for fa thousand pounds to a penny it was not his handwriting. He would call a friend who would swear it was not, and he would re-write the direction to satisfy the Alderman. Mr. Alderman IL HuGnEs said his writing the address differently now he had seen it would have no weight with him; and it was awkward to pitch on a scintilla of evidence out of a mass to which he made no objection, for that was lake an admission of the rest. The prisoner wished his friend to be examined on the point. Mr. Clarkson recommended Mr. Thwaites to advise with his client, or he must take the consequences of calling some body who could swear to his writing. Mr. Thwaites with some difficulty appeased his client. Collard, the officer, proved that the articles produced were found at the prisoner's lodgings at Lisson-green. Mr. Clarkson hoped to complete this ease on a future day by calling Mr. Bedingfield. He said there was a case of stealing from the Brighton Railway, but the gentleman who had lost his luggage was obliged to go to China. Mr. Humphreys, the solicitor, stated that he appeared on behalf of the Birmingham Railway Company. Much of the evidence which had been taken at length in the pre'vious case applied equally to his charges, and might be admited into the depositions upon being sufficiently referred to. Mr. Price Lewis,.ofJermyn-street, and Llandlear, in Cardi ganshire, said he' came to London from Blisworth by the Birmingham line on the 28th of March, and lost his port manteau, containing a writing-case, a pair of leather breeches, and various other articles. He identified the writing-case, the leather breeches, two waistcoats, and some other articles, which Collard produced. He believed the portmanteau pro duced was his property, bathe would not swear it. Collard said he received the writing-case from Mr. Nash, who in his presence received it from Mr. Roberts, the land lord of the Dolphin, in Oxford -street. The leather breeches he received from Mr. Broom, the landlord of the Rising Sun, in Air-street, Piccadilly, and the other articles he found at the prisoner's lodgings at Lisson-green. Mr. Roberts deposed, that the prisoner lodged at his house from the last week in March to the beginning of June. He was in the prisoner's bed-room one day and observed, "What . a many things you have here." Prisoner said, "Yes, I have, I want to dispose of some. What will suit you?" The pri soner recommended him to buy this writing-case for his children. Witness observed that the lock had been forced. The prisoner explained that he had lost his keys, and was obliged to break it open. When Mr. Nash and the officer came to inquire if he could give them any information about Garratt he produced this writing-case to them. Mr. Broom, the landlord of the Rising Sun, next accounted for the possession of the leather breeches. He saw the pri soner; sell them in' his parlour to a customer, and witness purchased them of the latter. The evidence of Mr. Nash and Mrs. Noble as to the find:. ing of the rest of the property in the room occupied by the prisoner was added. The prisoner was committed on this charge. Mr. Keep, a lace manufacturer, at Newport Pagnell, was then examined as to the loss of a carpet bag. He travelled from Wolverton on Dec. 18. It was stolen at the Wolverton station, and he was told by the bell-ringer that some man had seized it, and taken it into a second-class carriage.. . - He heard no more of it till he found it in the hands of Collard, the railway officer. The bag had a new lock .now. Mr. Alderman H. IluonEs asked if .he was quite sure he could recognise his old friend with a new face? Mr. Keep said lie was sure; for he had travelled thousands of miles with it. Mr. Keel also identified a shirt collar. (What other property the tiag contained did not transpire.) Collard deposed to finding the carpet bag and collar at the prisoner's lodgings, in North-street, Lisson-green, and the prisoner was committed on this charge. Mr. John Jones, of Kingstown, Dublin, solicitor, was next called. He stated he was a passenger from Chester to London, by the Birmingham line, on the 2d of August, and arrived in London about 10 o'clock at night. Amongst hiS luggage was a portmanteau, th e same now produced by Collard,and the articles of apparel produced were part of its contents. He identified a black dress coat, two pairs of trousers, a satin waistcoat, and other articles. The contents of his portman teau were worth 20/. He missed it the London terminus. Inspector Collard proved the finding of the property at Garratt's lodgings. Mr. Alderman H. HUGHES committed the prisoner on this charge also. Mr. Webb, merchant, of Huddersfield, was examined rela tive to the loss of a pertmanteau on the Birmingham line on the 25th of July. He said this was a part of his luggage. lie identified the articles p ro d uced, consisting of a dress coat, four white waistcoats, a shirt, and several other articles. Witness had four ladies with him, and had a strong recollec tion of seeing the prisoner standing near him at the terminus. On the prisoner's spectacles being removed, and his hat put on, the witness was further convinced he was the same per son. His luggage was safe on reaching the Ruston Station, but on setting the ladies down in Torrington-square, and giving them their luggage, he missed his own. Inspector Collard said he found the whole of these articles at the prisoners's lodging. The prisoner, who appeared to be even cheerful, was com mitted on this charge. Mr. Humphreys said that concluded the charges he had to support. Jr. Nash then prayed that the prisoner might be remanded upon a charge of stealing from the Brighton Railway, as well as to offer further evidence in the case of Mr. Bedingfield. It was arranged that the prisoner should stand remanded till the 17th instant. Mr. Nash complained of a scurrilous attack which bad been made upon hith by name in one of the railway papers, but which be was told was intended for a person of a dif ferent name. It had given his friends great pain, as they could not conceive how Mr. Nash had committed himself in this prosecution. SOUTHWARK. Henry Joseph litllerby, a youth of 17 years of age, appren tice to, a printer in the City, was brought before Mr. Coifing ham, charged on suspicion of being the writer of anonymous letters addressed to several families residing in the borough of Southwark, threatening the lives of the parties, and also . inclosing poison for the purpose of destroying them. It will be recollected, that in the course of last week the churchwareens of St. George's parish, Southwark, made an application at this Court on the subject of anonymous letters received by several of the parishioners, and amongst those produced was one addressed to Mr. Stead, the parish clerk, the writer threatening to set fire to the church if he did not announce to the congregation on Sunday some vile insinua tions against • the character of a Mrs. Spriggs, residing in White street, in the vicinity of the church. In consequence of the application to the Magistrate, two officers of the de tective police have been engaged in the discovery of the affair, and the result of their inquiries was the apprehension of the priSoner, on suspicion of being the person who had trans mitted the letters containing the threats, as well as the poison, to the parties to whom they were addressed. The prisoner is rather a decent-looking lad, and on being placed at the bar, he evinced no fear or alarm at the position in which he stood ; he was accompanied to the Court by his father, who is a tradesman in White-street, nearly opposite to the residence of one of the persons to whom a letter con taining poison had been recently sent. Mr. CorrorGitAni inquired the nature of the evidence im plicating the prisoner in th e a ll eged charge of sending the threatening letters to the parties who made the complaint. Sergeant Kendall, of the detective police, made a state meat to the effect that a memorial was transmitted to Sir James. Graham some time ago, which was afterwards placed in the hands of the Commissioners of Police, and that it con. tained a representation of the state of alarm into which the writer and his faniilf had been thrown in consequence of the threats of an anonymous writer. The document, which was signed by a brother of the accused, on being placed in the hands of the detective officers, was found to bear a strong re semblance to the writing in the anonymous letters, and this fact led to further inquiries, in the course of which some writing of the prisoner's was procured, which bore such a similarity to the offensive epistles as to create a very strong belief that he was the writer of them. On a:recent occasion it was also ascertained that a letter had been posted in the Minories, and that the prisoner was seen near the place about the time at which it was dropped in the letter-box. Here several anonymous letters were handed to the magis trate, and amongst theth one by Mr. Samuel Clouter addresslkl to his daughter, - containing about three-quarters of an ounce of poison, and which ran thus : ept. 5, . "My dear Eli za b et h ,— l f you mix the" w S hite powder have inclosed in th e l e tt er you will find it very delicious. It has come from France. I will call in a few days. Mind you mix the powder directly you receive it, and you will find that it has the flavour of the melon." Mr. CormanAm compared the writing Of the above note with a specimen of the prisoner's handwriting recently pro duced, and remarked th a t th e resemblance was certainly very strong. .evidence was then adduced that the powder contained in the letter had since been analyzed, and was found to be oxalic acid. Another letter was read by the magistrate , addressed t o a Miss Elizabeth Sprigg s , describing that the writer of it was aware that exertions were made for a discovery; that he was aware the officers were in search of him, and had seen them on the preceding night making inquiries at Mrs. Spriggs's, but that he would foil them all in their attempts; that he was aware - a reward of 401. had been offered to discover the writer, but that if it was 1,000/. it would not have the desired effect. The writer then expressed his determination not to stop until he had sacrificed some of the inhabitants of the parish, whose names he inserted, for their officiousness in at tempting to discover the author of the letters. Another note was also produced, the writer vowing ven geance against Mr. Clouter for preventing his daughter from taking the powder. A copy of prisoner's handwriting, with the . words, " Miss Elizabeth Spriggs," written that morning, was compared with the superscription on the above letter, and was found to bear a very close resemblance. jSergeant Kendall said, in' reference to one of the epistles ust read, where the writer said he had seen two men making inquiries about him at Mrs. Spriggs's, that he (the Sergeant) and another officer named Smith, of the detective police, had been making the inquiries alluded to, and that Smith's attention was particularly called to the house where the pri soner's father resided, which was nearly opposite Mrs. Spriggs's, and that the prisoner or some one very like him was observed peeping from one of the upstairs windows. The very next day Mrs. Spriggs's daughter received the letter above-mentioned on the subject. Several anonymous letters were also produced, which had been written to Mr. Humble, a hop-merchant, of a threatening nature, and one of them containing poison was addressed to his wife while he was in the country. The letter purported to be from a clerk in Mr. Humble's employ, describing that his eniployer had directed him to inclose Mrs. Humble some powders of a very efficacious description, which he recom mended her to take as soon as possible, and that they Would benefither health. The chief part of the letters had been dropped in Mr. Humble's own letter-box until the writer
