RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GRAND JUNCTION, GREAT WESTERN, AND SOUTH WESTERN. On Friday a meeting was held at Bicester, to take into consideration the merits of this line. Mr. J. PAXTON presided, and in opening the proceedings adverted to the advantages Bicester would derive from having a line right through it. He believed there were no fewer than seven lines preparing to run through the district. Mr. MAr.v.v, solicitor, and local agent to the Company, proposed the first rescluth.n, to the effect, that a line through Bicester, connecting it with the Great Western at Slough, and with the Oxford and Rugby at Heyford, would be a great advantage, as it would enable them to reach London and Birmingham direct, and to obtain► communication with the coal fields. Mr. W. PAXTON seconded the resolution. There were no engineering difficulties, and it would not interfere with ornamental property. Mr. POWELL described the line. It would be 64 miles, commencing at the Farnborough station of the South West ern, crossing the Great Western between Slough and Maiden head, and terminating on the Oxford and Rugby line at Lower Heyford, on the route to Birmingham. In its course it would accommodate Bracknell, Sunning. hill, Bagstiot, Ascot, Windsor, Great Marlow, High Wycombe, Princes Risborough, Thame, Bicester, and several other places at present without a railway communication, and form the most direct route from London to Banbury, Warwick, and Bir mingham, and by the Grand Junction to Manchester, Liver pool, Lancaster, and Carlisle ; and by the Caledonian Railway to Glasgow and Edinburgh; and from Crewe to Chester, Birkenhead and Holyhead; thus opening the most direct communication with Dublin—also by the branch to Oxford, in connexion with the Cheltenham and Oxford line, it would form the most direct route to South Wales, Water ford, and the south of Ireland, as well as by the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line to 1N orcester, and to all the central portions of Wales, thus forming the shortest route to Wales and Ireland. It would save an average distance of fourteen miles to each of the before-mentioned places as compared with the route now traversed by the Great Western. There were no engineering difficulties, and the land was the least valuable of any in the counties, avoiding parks and orna mental property. To the saving about fourteen miles in the transits to London, was to be added that of connecting with the South Western and the Reading and Reigate lines, af fording passengers an opportunity of proceeding to South ampton, Isle or Wight, Dover, Brighton, and all adjacent places, without the necessity of passing through the metro polis. Jo compliance with the suggestions of landowners, the Committee had decided on forming branches from the Thame station to Oxford and Aylesbury. Sir J. Macneill and Mr. Thompson were the engineers. Shareholders in the Grand Junction, Great Western, and South Western, would have a preference in allotment of shares. Messrs. Douglas, Mills, Chapman, and Harris, addressed the meeting. An amendment was proposed to the effect that further time be given for consideration of the various other schemes, but the original resolution in favour of the proposed line was carried. The following is an enumeration of the schemes, twenty five in number, projected up to the present period, for sup plying the west of England with railways :—The West Cornwall, with a capital of 500,0001.; the Cornwall Coast Line, capital 1,500,000/.; the North Devon and its branches, capital 1,750,000/. ; the Launceston and Tavistock, capital 100,000'., ; the Taviatoek and Plymouth Line. These two are extensions of the South Devon ; the Cornwall and Devon Central in connexion with the Yeovil, capital 3,000,000/. ; the Bideford and Tavistock alepkin's t, in connexion with the Central ; the Direct Plymouth and Bideford ? capital 800,000 L ; the Great Western arid Falmouth Junction, capital 1,500,000/.; the South Devon, now con structing, capitol 000,0004 ; the Direct Exeter ar.d Ply mouth, rid Ashburton i the Great - Western Extension Atmospheric, to Barnstaple and Ilfracombe, capital 950,000/. ; the Dartmouth and Exeter Line, rid Newton, in conjunction with the South Devon, capital 300,000/.; the Dartmouth, Torbay, god Exeter Direct, in connexion with the Central , capita 600,000/. ; the Exeter and Crediton, now in progress; the Exeter, Topsham, and Exmouth, capital 120,000/.

MANX LINES.—The Isle of Man, in common with every other isle, is to have a railway added. to its patriarchal and picturesque possessions. Two companies, the Isle of Man ' and the Great Manx, court the popular suffiage. The former is supported by the Earl of Uxbridge, and the latter by Dr, Ilowring. Surveys are in progres , and application has been made to the Legislature of the inland to give power of ex tension by means of an act of Tynwald The report that the dividend of the Newcastle and Dar lington will be increased to 10 per cent. this half-year, and that new '251. shares will be created for each 25/. share of the present stock, has received confirmation, The Lancaster Guardian asserts that the high tides have done considerably less damage to the Furness Railway at Salthouse than has been reported. At the last meeting of the Carmarthen Town Council re solutions were passed in favour of the Welsh Midland Railway. The contracts on the Berke and Hants line are let, the line is staked out, and the works will be commenced immediately. A contract has been entered into by Brassy, Stephenson, and Mackenzie, the contractors, for the construction of the Trent Valley at 611,619/, at the rate of 12,0001. per mile, to be completed by the spring of 1847. DARTMOUTH, TORBAY, AND EXETER....-AITEIIgeHICIHS have been made within the last few days for co-operation between this Company and the Taw Vale Extension, the Cornwall and Devon Central, the Exeter, Dorchester, and Yeovil, aid the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Companies; so that there will be one continuous line of railway with tho sama gauge, and without change of carriage, from the I. rdon station of the South-Western Railway, at Hungerfor eblid .-, to Brix haaimlizn,aDroanwr,tmouth, &c. By the Taw Vale Extort ion a direct rai ß ll ri b x e ha o m pe an ne d d D b a e r t t w in e o e u n ti t i he on h t a i ra n e i s f i C 'Torquay, hanne and. those of Barnstaple, Bideford, and llfracombe, ' on the , channels withadi . reet line to London Bristol Channel, and the long-contemplated connecting the two scheme or and this line s Ealmouth hould will be upported by effected. It the 1 is scarce s surprisinwhg en that is considered of how much importance it is ' a sties. to Dartmouth to have railway accommodation and In the shortestline pos sible. Dartmouth is one of the fi nest and safest harbours on our south-west coast. Its situation and natural advan tages porticularly fit it for a packet station. Incase of its being chosen f or such purpose, it would then become, from a small town , a l ar g e and flourishing seaport. The commis sioners for inquiri n g into harbours expressly state that it would be, had it go od communication with the interior, the best port for landing and shipping the West India m a il s They say that its waters are perfectly safe and tranquil i n the most tempestuou s weather, so that - the mails could at a ll times be put on board or landed, and coals be taken in. I t is not our object to establis h a comparis on between Falmo th to state that Dartmouth and Dartmouth ; but it is sufficient 1 in to a large has merits of its own which make good its c a traffic. The Dartmouth and Exeter line gives the neeemgary connexion with the Bristol and Exeter Railway at . Exeter i , and so with Bristol, Gloucester , Birmingham: I -erpoo , eovil liom nes, Manchester, Leeds, and the north ; wh ile the 1 or other direct lines, will give the main thing-7a short c munication with the metropolis. Brixhan is another im portant point which is accommodated by this line. Brix ham is the port of Torbay anchorage, and has shipping be longing to it 0f20,000 tons, besides fiishing craft. .Brischant employs 1,500 seamen, and the merchants are very desirous of having railway accommodation. Torquay, an admired watering-place, is now a steam-boat station to the Channel lea, and there are also the towns and stations of Paignton, Newton, Chudleigh, and Moretonhampstead.—.Exeter paper. CENTRAL STATION AT CARLISLE.-..The formal adhesion, . tys the Carlisle Journal, of the Newcastle and Carlisle Directors to the plan for forming a united station for 'all the railways which now have their termini in Carlisle, was re csiyed this week, and since then considerable progress has %een made in the purchase of property in Court-square, v. here it is proposed the station shall be. The Maryport and Carlisle Railway Directors still stand aloof; but we trust t'aey will soon see the propriety of joining the other three eompanies in one general plan which will be ornamental to lie town and useful to the public. They ought certainly, and oat without any loss of time, to put an end to their danger ous mode of backing out. the carriages from the present station. The Caledonian Railway, it is expected, will come hut Carlisle nearly in a line between the two bridges across the Caldow, and so forward to the general station. In this way they will save much of the embankment across the Willow Holm, which would have been necessary upon the original plan. We understand that the railway companies have been met in a most liberal spirit by the owners of- pro pery required for carrying out their plane. NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE.—A dispute has for some time existed between the Directors of this line and the owners of certain collieries and stone quarries with respect to the riles of carriage. The owners of coal and stone charges for carriage higher in comparison than not only high of themselves, but than those of any other line in the kingdom ; and that their complaint is not an unreasonable Blenekt°PP Haltwhistle Com panies—leave that two of th e co lli er i es — namely, those of th e yanies---have actually ceased fr om B working for upwards of six months, in consequence of the high charges. Committees have been appointed, and meeting after meeting has been held to consider the subject; but still with the same result— an obstinate, and what we must call a suicidal adherence to high rates, on the part of the Directors, who, although they liy, k in the nineteenth century, have not vet found out that two and two do not always make four. The Blenkinsopp Company has for many years paid them, on the average, between 8,0001. and 9.0001. per annum ; the precise amount paid by the Haltwhistle Company we do not know, but it must have been considerable. The last meeting was held at Newcastle on Tuesday last, when blind obstinacy again prevailed by a majority of eight to five, and thus the two sources of income above stated have been effectually destroyed. Surely it is time for the share holders to interfere in this matter, and no longer suffer their best interests to be set aside for the mere sake of gratifying the pig-headed propensities of men unfit for the emergencies of the time they live in and the position they occupy.— Carlisle Journal. CONTINENTAL LINES. ORLEANS TO JOIGNY.—The Minister of Public Works has ordered surveys of this line to be immediately commenced; and in order to accelerate the operations, has ordered it to be divided into two parts, one from Orleans to the River Loing, and the other from the Loing to Joigny. CAEN To CHERBOURG.—The department of Calvados has voted the sum of 3,000 f. for the preliminary surveys of a line between Caen to Cherbourg, with a branch line to Gran .% ille. BORDEAUX TO BAYONN.T.

Column. to MELUN.—A Company has been formed for the purpose of obtaining the concession of this line. The parti culars have not yet been published. DIEPPE TO FECAMP.—The statutes of this Company were examined by the Council of State on the 30th ult., and the royal ordinance, approving of the concession, has been pub lished. Mr. Newman, engineer-in chief of the Havre line, has been appointed engineer of these branch lines, and the works are to commence in a few days. It is supposed that the two branch lines will be opened on May 1, 1847. NORTHERN OF FRANCE. -T he board of Directors of this Company, with Baron James de Rothschild as President, has delegated its powers to a committee composed of five of its members, viz.:—Messieurs P.

LINE ROUND PARIS.—The Government has authorised the preliminary enqate for the line which is to unite together the various termini of the railways from the provinces termi nating in Paris. Paws TO STRASBURG.—Two new companies have been announced for this line, one with Admiral Arnous as presi dent, and the other with Admiral de Heide. The first-named admiral is the president of the Company from Creil to St. Quentin, of which Malachy Daly, of the Place Vendome, is the banker; and the second has just been united with the company called "Les Riverains," composed of persons inte rested in the lines in the several departments through which the line passes. BORDEAUX TO TILE SPANISH FRONTIER.—A new company has been formed for this line, passing through Bayonne, with a capital of 25,000,000 f., divided into 50,000 shares of 500 f, of which the fourth part is reserved to the Spanish subscribers. The surveys have been made with great care, and the exe cution of the line is declared to be without any difficulty. MuuiousE AND THAUN.—The number of passengers on this line, from the 6th July to the 21st September, was 113,398; the receipts during the same period amounted to 10,808 f. ; showing an increase for the present year, compared with the corresponding date of 1844, of 11,115 passengers, and of 4,486 f. SmAsisunG.—Upon the section between Strasburg and Colmar the number of passengers, from the 7th to the 21st September, were 6,401, and the receipts 6,784 f. ; showing an increase, in comparison with the corresponding period of 1844, of 3,166 passengers, and of 1,770 f. CECIL AND SAINT QUENTIN.-A new company, half English and half French, has been fonned for undertaking this line ; capital 35 millions of francs. It has taken the title of " Corn pagnie de l'Oise." l'Ams AND OESAY.--Since the announcement that the sub scription list would soon be closed, there have been demands for shares to the number of 45,000, and on the last day they increased to the number of 80,000. BORDEAUX AND CErrE.—M. Berlin, chief engineer of the department of the Haute Garonne, has: been appointed by Government to report upon the two proposed plans of this line between Beziers and Cette. ZURICH AND BALE.—A subscription has been opened for the construction of this line at Zurich, Vienna, Berlin, Frank fort, Genoa, and Milan.

SCHLESWIG, HOLSTEIN.—On the 18th of September, ex actly one year after the opening of King Christian VIII. Baltic Sea Railway, the Rendsburg and Neumuenster Railway was opened with the usual ceremony. In the incredibly short space of five months this line has been completed, with the exception of the terminus at Rendsburg, through the zeal of the direction and engineers. Everything seems to show that the newly-opened line operates advanta geously for the traffic in West and South Schlesien ; and at the same time, its construction having cost no more than 900,000 marks (43,7501.), there is little doubt that it will afford a good return.

On Monday last a series of experiments were made on the London and Brighton line with Mr. Thoruton's patent safety self-acting break, before General Pasley and they were also witnessed by R. Heaviside, Esq., W. Seymour, Esq., Mr. Bridges, the railway coach- builder, and other gentlemen. The object of the inventor is, to devise a means whereby those frightful accidents, so common of late on railways, may be effectually prevented ; and in this we think he has fully and completely succeeded. We are aware that numberless plans have been sug gested for this purpose ; but none that we have heard of is to be compared to Mr. Thornton's. Amongst the dangers of railroad travelling, there are —lst. Running off the line and over an embankment, or a bridge, as the case may be.-2.1. Two engines meeting and dashing into each other.-3d. The blowing up of a boiler. In fact, whatever danger an engine may be in, the pas sengers are partakers of it. As remedies, it has been proposed-Ist. to place a luggage van always between the engine and the carriages. 2nd. To place a waggon• load or faggots, cotton, or of some other material, in that position ; and beyond these clumsy contrivances we have heard of nothing to afford protection to passengers when an accident happens to an engine. Mr. Tbernton's plan is to have a rope (which is pre ferable fur the purpose to either a chain or a wire rope) attached to the tender and the first carriage, the rope being from twenty to thirty yards long, or, if required. much longer, as it may be coiled on a roll er b eneat h th e ca rriage. Thei engine in this way would tow the train along, and the engine may be either on the same line or on another, or the same engine may tow two trains, one on each line, along. But neither of the two latter pro jects is essential or important. But it will be apparent, t h a t, with a space of thirty yards between the train and th e engine, the latter might be dashed to atoms over an embank tnent, whilst the train would escape much of the danger. The project, however, would be very inefficient if it ended here. Supposing, then, a train towed along by a rope 30 yards long, and the engine running off the line or running against an engine coming in the oppo.. site direction, it would be necessary, to give safety to the train, to have means of stopping it as instantane ously as suoh accid en t s h a pp en , and yet not with such ajerk as to knock the carriages with violence against each other, to the imminent danger of the passengers. To avoid all this, Mr. Thornton's plan is, we think, admirably adapted, and the plan will be best understood by describing the experiment itself. On arriving at Hay ward's Heath by the half-past 11 train, we found an engine with an old second-class car riage attached and fitted up on Mr. Thornton's plan, so far as regards thej apparatus of the safety-break. We mention that it was an old carriage, to show that it is by no means necessary that carriages should be built for the purpose, and that, as we learned, the whole s afety apparatus may be fixed to any carriage at an ex pense of a few pounds. The expense of the apparatus itself would be reduced, as some of that now in use may be dispensed with. General Pasley having mounted the engine, and se was:aeslesseGt ( a l e s , t a a nd ra w te he o n f fo it rt a y rr m iv i e le d s , gentlemen having entered the carriage, the engine acce lerated speed, at the 14 milestone, nested, and away rapidity of theanstthi still el hourrgoe rope ea towards g waats ada s Has seci,n came e t ttehiartydeaydaradtas flew the engine by itself, whilst the carriage was gradually slackened, till, about gently as to occasiononl; from where the rope was cast oft; it a w company then the slightest shock. I t was a once splendid experiment anti was repeated several times, on ith the engine on one , line and the carriages on the other. General Pasley and theaccompanied Mr. Thornton to the Hassocks Inn, where he showed them a great number of drawings, beautifully executed, and a model of his break and apparatus. To - describe things of this kind in w or d s i s very difficult. t o as to convey a correct idea of them ; but we believe that Mr. Thornton will feel pleasure is exhibiting them to any nd, e 5 we person. In the fi rst p lace, as regard s t h e rope. One e have already observ e d, is attached ti the tender ; the other to a catch, in front of the carriage . , so constr ucted that the guard can dens:,it in an instant ; and the moment it is detached, th .. dragging being no longer On the ca tc h , it draws back, p e 'F r ili t te l , e ee i tml n t v ap e ya n at t d i i o tti n s, which compels the break to act upon them and gradually dela y their p ro g ress, until of the carriage itself, and very simple machinery is set in action b y the wheels but kept ju s t clear of them by the apparatus, which , is gnal exceedingly butin form, resem ainfeglevasieecaos,ndsa,atdheythestoepa. a practicability a beyond e deoauebht. of the The wheels, in breaks, bles . the elbow of an arm, which extends as the traction power la removed, and as it descends the breaks press against the wheels. One thing is certain as regards the project, that if it were to fail, which seems impossible, the danger will not be, as is sometimes the case, in the smallest degree in creased. If the rope, for instance, were to break, no mischief would accrue. The only possible inconvenience would be the delay of a few m'nutes till the rope was spliced, or another put in its place. To our minds, then, it has been proved that the means of avoiding the aangerof engines running off the lines, or coming into collision with each other, or o boilers bursting, may now be avoided—at least so far es the passengers are concerned, and in some degree as the engineers themselves are, for they have frequently been killed or maim-d by the carriages crushing them when they had escaped the more immediate danger from the engine and tender. Whether LL•ectors will adopt this patent safety-break will a good deal depend on the public. Engineers, we believe, are not very anxious to adopt any plan cot their own, or in which they may have no direct interest, and Directors seldom adopt plans of this kind unless recom mended by their engineers; but as safety in travelling is of the first importance to the public, it ought to insist upon this plan (or any other, if its superiority can be shown) being adopted. Government, we believe, nor the Board of Trade, which is pestered with all eons of non , ensieal schemes by ignorant and self-opinionated persons, will not take upon itself the responsibility of re commending plans; but it opposes none. Whether this neutral conduct in the Executive Government is the wisest course . that could be p ursue d, i s quest i ona b le; b ut, at the same time, it must be admitted that, if Govern ment were to recommend a plan that should fail, the blame and responsibility would rest on it and this it is desirous to avoid. The public, however, must and ought to be protected, and if Directors and engineers will not do application must be made by the pubiic to the Legislature to compel them. The means of safety, to a much greater extent than that which now exists. are by Mr. Thornton's plan before the public, and the " pressure from without" will, in the end, but perhaps not till some sc •re or two more lives have been sacrificed, compel Directors to adopt this or som e o th er mo d e o f protect .. ing passengers against those dangers which of late have produced so much apprehension. The safety break, to be effective, must be attached to every carriage, and therefore to render the experiment complete, it is necessary that it should be tried, and for a considerable time, on some line with a train, as it may be objected that that which may answer we ll f or a s i ng l e not be equ a lly a d apte d for a long line of will prove so ; cc b aa u rr t rrii w aa ' gg e ee h sm o . experience p a e 3l'V t e ha b t e , l i ie n v o e rdtherattoput the question beyond doubt, the Directors of som e li ne w ill have a number of carriages fitted up with Mr. Th ornton ' s mac hi nery, and we know of no line better adapted for carrying the experiment out than that from Brighton to Shoreham. We therefore hope that the Directors of that line will do honour to themselves by causing it to be made. General I'asley and the other gentlemen paid a visit also to Mr. Thornton's factory at Hassocks Gate, and examined an engine on which Mr. Thornton has introduced several improvements. One is to sub• stitute a wheel by which the speed is regulated instead of the winch or handle now used. It would be like the wheel introduced for the steerage of a vessel instead of the tiller. By another ingenious mode, the engineer could not increase his speed beyond a certain extent. Engineers sometimes negligently . lose time, and then fetch it up by propelling the engine at a tremendous rate, which has been frequently the cause of accidents. To prevent this, Mr. Thornton has introduced a " go vernor" similar to those frequently applied to steam engines. This apparatus, by means of a spiral spring, can be so set that the engineer can never exceed the pre scribed speed, as the moment he attempts to do so, the " governor" acts on the spiral spring, and the steam is let off. Another plan is in the ash hole, where, by means of water, the heat of the chimney would be reduced. Gen. Pa,ley and all present expressed themselves highly gratified with tin se various experiments, but they are tar less important than the pl a n f o r maintaining the se curity of passengers at a moment when the engine and tender may be smashed to atoms. LA W INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 7. ( Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE MARLEY.—LIABILITY OF HUSBANDS. This insolvent, who was a Lieut.-Colonel in the Royal Ma rines, came up for his final order. An endeavour had been made to arrange with the creditors, but there being several disputed debts the negotiation went off. Mr. Sturgeon appea:ed on behalf of three creditors, and the insolvent was supported by Mr. Cooke. The facts were these. In January, 1842, the inso'vent se parated from his wife, and made her a weekly allowance. Atter that time, however, the tradesmen who had previously supplied the defendant continued to furnish goods at the house in Wilton-place. The deed of separation was not en tered into till September, 1843. Mr. STURGEON contended that as no notice had been given to the creditors, they were entitled to prove for the amount of their respectivee debts; and in one case in particular the insolvent was bound for, although there was a separation, one of the insolvent's daughters residing with her mother. The insolvent was examined, and said that he left active service in Malta, in 1839. He then found his wite living in a house in Wilton-place, and she represented to him that she had, as his agent, obtained the lease for him • but he after wards parted from her, as he had reason to believe she had been unfaithful to him. An action had been brought in con sequence against a certain party, but it had been dropped, and the deed of separation signed. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that it was clear that, according to the principle of law, after the separation the husband was not liable, nor was it necessary to give notice, but he thought that in this case, where a husband left his wife in the house, although he allowed her a sufficiency, he ought to give notice. Mr. STURGEON said that at all events the full debt was due when the (laughter was living. The insolvent said that he had corrected her for her im propriety ; she left his house fur three months, but he would declare to Heaven that he did not know where she was, and only to k her home again in order to save herfrom destruction. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that the insolvent would be liable for any debt contracted for the daughter with his sanction, but here it was distinctly sworn that she was not living with him, nor did he know - where she was ; that debt, therefore, could not be allowed. Mr. Cooiu said they were willing to admit all the debts due up to the date of the deed of separation, on a principle of justice, that as the insolvent had left his wife in the house occupied by him they should have had notice, but at the same time some of the creditors had been dealing with Mrs. Marley during the insolvent's absence on service. The COMMISSIONER said that up to that time there was an implied agency on the part of the wife. After the separation tradesmen could not recover from the husband or wife, and they therefore ought not to give credit. Air. STURGEON then urged that in the case of Mr. Tuck, as his claim was disallowed, the name should be erased. The L-arned COMMISSIONER said he could not allow that— he would be lending himself to a party to bring a vexatious action in another court. The claim had been disallowed. Mr. CooKE contended that it was a clear case that it should stand as a disputed debt disallowed. In bankruptcy the same principle existed for the protection of the bankrupt. Mr. STURGEON said that in bankruptcy, if a creditor did not prove his debt, and the bankrupt did not get his certifi cate, the legal remedy to recover it still remained. The CommtssioNEtt said it would be against the policy of the Act to allow the claim to be struck. A milliner's debt for 1481. was also disputed. It was ultimately arranged that the insolvent should allow 60/. a year out of his half-pay. The debts were about 500/. Owing to the new and excellent arrangements of Mr. Allen, the county treasurer, the above business, which formerly occupied the Court two days, was disposed of in as many hours. tion of his friend, but doubted whether the Acts in question, which directed that the pr cue iin shouht be taken " with all conenient sp,ed," ernpiw:•red the magistrate to grant a rf.inand. This point he should, therefore, leave in his Worship's ha: 4 - , He had almost forgotten the circurastanc.'s of the case when be!ore under the consid,ration of V)e Bench ; hut tie believed that the charge. as it now stood, was based uooe a document exhibiting a forgery in two respects-0-e amount said to be deposited, as Neal as the name of the depositor, being altered. Should the magis trate believe that this charge was established by the depositions and commit upon that conviction, it would then be in the power of his friend to apply for a writ of habeas corpus, and submit the objections which he had to offer to the superior authority. Mr. !TALL remarked that the circumstances of this case were of a very peculi.lr nature, differing in an im portant respect from those that came b fore him in the ordinary way. He sat there to take the sitl, of neither party, but merely to discharge a duty, which he trusted he should have the firmness to do according to the con viction of his mind ; but it should I , e remembered that when an ordinary prisoner was brought befori him, be usually proceeded to the investiga.ion of his ase in tkeal ignorance of the p irticulars of the charge against him, whiht in the present case he was .ctuitlly obliged, by th , Act of Parliament, to make himself master of every fact, as recorded in the depositions, before granting the warrant. Mr. Clarkson—ln that respect you have an important advantage over the prisoner. Mr. HALL—It might be considered an ailvantag- if it was the province of the magistrate to eonneet wit x hip own the functions of an advocate. Whether he fAt dis posed, however, to grant a remand, or otherwise, it was quite clear that is this, as in all other ea-es, some evi • dente must be previously taken. The depsitions woilA he read over to the prisoner, and it ,touid be found the the facts of the case, however massive was the appear ance of the depositions, were comprised in a very narrow compass. Mr. Clarkson objected to the admission of the certifi cate of the Foreign Secretary of State (before alluded to) in the absence of proof of Lord Aberdeen's signa ture. _ _ _ A messenger was consequently dispatched to the pri vate secretary of his Lordship, Mr. Dawkins, who at tended at a later period of the afternoon, and identifis d the signature. Mr. HALL observed that the second clause t' the ori ginal Act authori'ed the rt - cerion copies" of the depositions, which, it bad b'en held, rendered the pro duction of the original copies ire-utficient. He was not of this opinion, and Lord Kenyon had held that the " originals" in such a case were `admissible. Still there were adverse opinions, and he had, therefore, used both the copies and the orik;inals for the purposes of this inquiry. The depositions, as taken in New York before the Dis trict Attorney and Recorder of the City, together with the certificates accompanying them, were pat in Rod read. It aop,ittred that on the 15th of April, 1841, a person, calling himself " Nathaniel Brittain," wP nt to the prosecutors' offs in Walpole-street, New York, and produced a certificate of deposit purporting to be drawn upon the bank of New Orleans for 23.000 Mexi can dollars. A cheque for the amount (less I per cc lit.) was given to him, and afterwards a purr)•, alleged to n,• the prisoner, callod and received the cash in gold. Other evidence went to show that a man named Charles Webb of Philadelphia, was in concert with him. Joho Dieter Poe, clerk to Messrs. Little and Co., the Prosecutors, deposed that he compared ttte copies with the original depositions in the Dis ri'.l Attorney's office at New York. He spoke to tie signatnre of the Recorder to the original certificates, and saw other points of form. Cross-examined—Was not present at the examination of the witness. Was t-xamitied hirose.f betore the Dis trict Attorney (who was the public prosecutor) in his private office. Witness held nu pubic office in America. Was not in England in 1843. Came to England in January, 1845, and gave the documents into the hands Mr. Mullins, the solicitor (in England) to the prose cutors. Re-examined—He believed that every effort had been since made to apprehend the prisoner. Mr. Clarkson denied this statement, and expressed his surprise that such a question should be put to the wit ness, who could know nothing at all aboat it. The same witness was then examined as t► his own depositions. and repeated the statements made by him in New York. He recollected cashing the chegtni for 23,000 dollars, and identified the prisoner at the bar as the person to whom he paid the amount in gold. The prisoner hell a bag. into which witness plitc-ed the g , :ld. dropping some u.,vereigns at the time on the floor. Tin. prisoner remarked at the time that ht. (witness) might 'have them if he liked, as he was is a hurry to leave. Witness thought the prisoner's ulanwr was very exlai ordinary. Cross examined—Had not seen the prisoner from that day (April 15, 1841) up to the present time since his appearance at the bar. Could positively swear that he was the person. He was not attired in ht. appear ance, and talked in a deep tone of Nu sovereigns were left upon the floor. Witness picked thew all up, and put them ia the beg. Thomas John Sowtow deposed that he was a mc.r - chant's clerk, living. at Bermondsey. He was formerly in the service of Messrs. Sanders, of the Hull saw-mills. On the bankruptcy of the firm, in the latter part of 1841, the premises were taken by the prisoner, Mr. Clinton, and a Mr. Charles Webb, to whom le acted as clerk until February, 1843. The prisoner was chiefly it. London, hut came to [lull when the Deeeinh r balanot , , were due in 1842. Witness knew the prisoner's hand writing. He believed the words in blue ink on the cer tificate iif deposit were in his handwriting. The signa ture " Nathaniel Brittain," written twice at the hack of the document, was in the handwriting of his partner, Charles Webb. Crwst--xsmined—Had been in one or two situation since that tune as clerk. Mr. Mullins came to witness upon the subject. Did not expect any remuneration. Would have scorned to make any such stipulation. Had never expre:-sed a doubt as to the prisoner's hand writing upon the document produced. The prisoner owed witness no money. He always behaved ver) honourably to witness. By Mr.HALL—Clintfm never went by any other name whilst witness knew him. Mr. Chambers having said that he had no other eri dence to offer, Mr. Clarkson addressed the Bench for the prisoner declaring that if it was intendad that anything like jus tice should be dote in this case, a remand must be grant d. He denounced the species or evidence taken in the Dis trict Attorney's private office at New York as of the most trumpery nature, such as could never be admissi ble in any English court of justice. He concluded by again demanding for his client a privilege which would be conceded to any Englishman—the privilege of dis ptoving the charges brought thus irregklurly against hum. Mr. HALL said, although it was not desired of him to offer an opinion as to the Treaty Act being of a pro-pectis, or retrospective character, he could not, as the subject hail been so frequently alluded to, pass it over alto gether without remark. He should not attempt to decide so grave a question himself, but would gladly leave in the hands of the Learned Judges, to whom the case might be submitted, in the event of ulterior proceedings being taken on behalf of the pri soner Still he was of opinion that there was mithing in the clauses of the Act that could be regarded as limiting its operation to offences occurring after the date thereof, and he was strengthened in this opinion by the fact that the French treaty contained a clause expressly extending the operation of the Act to all offences, whether of prior or sut»equent date. With regard to the application for a remand, he would only say that, looking at the requisitions of the Treaty Act, and remarking that no general rule could be laid down in such matters (which must be left to the discretion of the magistrate), he was bound to express hims , if satisfied that such a prinai facie ease had been established by the evidence before him as justified him in taking that course which was defined by the terms of the treaty between this country and the United States. It was his duty to allow no unnecessary delay to take place, and therefore he should certify his committal of the prisoner to the Government, who would act accordingly. It was satisfactory to him to know that if he had erred his error might be cor rected by a higher authority. Mr. Clarkson applied for a copy of the depositions. Mr. HALL said it was unusual to grant such applica tions, and therefore refused it. The care, with its numerous delays, occupied th e whole of the day, to the entire exclusion of all other business from the Court. The other charges were con sequently taken by Mr. Twyford in a waiting-room. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. The Court met on Monday for the purpose of receiving the annual returns of the overseers, &c., of the different parishes in the county of the , rentals of their respective district -, Mr. Whiskin was in the chair ; there were also pre sent Mr. Froshfield and Mr. B. Haw ST. PANCRAS PARISH. The first return that gave rise to any o b serva ti on was that of the parothial authorities of St. Pancras, who re turned 535,400/. as the amount of their rental ; the re turn they mad. last year was 582,0001. As a matter of course, they were called upon to account for the de ficiency. Mr. FRESIIFIELD said, the return now presented gave the net rateable value of the property of the parish at 50,0001. less than the return made last year, and the Court would wish to know how the very great difference between the two returns was accounted f o r. The Vestry-Clerk, in reply, said that it arose part l y from an over calculation of the property of the London and Birmingham Ra ilwa y , and p artl y from a revisio n of t ofll c onsidered that the parish had been assessed in comparison with other parishes it , too e highlypa rish s, which had since been made by order the vestry, the county. Mr. FRESHFIELD then inquired on what principle the vestry had made their valuation. The Vestry-Clerk said, that 25 per cent. had been deducted from the gross estimated rental, and allowed .'or repairs, &c. Mr. FRESHFIELD said, that the only deduction which the law sanctioned from the gross estimated rental, viz , the rent at which the property might reasonably be ex pected to let, was the average annual cost for repairs necessary to maintain the premises and commend such rent, and pay the insurance, and that a deduction of a per ventage applying equally to a n ew ly b u ilt house illegal. The one out of repair was The Vestry-Clerk explained, at some length, the principle on which the return had been made. The Overseer of Kensington said, he had felt it hi s d uty on former occasions to call the attention of the court to the unfair manner in which the returns of St. Pancras and other parishes had been made out; the result o f which was that they paid less than their share of the county-rate, while other parishes, who made a fair and Proper return of their rentals, were compelled to pay more in proportion than they ought to do. Mr. FRESHFIELD said, there could be no doubt that if it could be proved that any one parish in the county was assessed at a less amount than it ought to be, that w ou ld form a sufficient ground of appeal against the county rate generally for any other parish ; and then, add ress . ing the nuthonties of St. Pancras parish, he a'ked, whether, after having had their attention drawn to the subject, they w. , uld still swear to the statement which (the County-Rates Act), parish ma e their report they had handed in to the Court ? He would, at the same time, inform them that sach statement would not finally close the question, for by an Act passed during the last session of Parliament the Court of Quarter Sessions was empow,.red to appoint a think pcommit teeproper. to i s , u h r a v t e e y e any mln might to the Court, and the parties might .. if they pleased ap peal to the Court against their decision. The parish officers spid, they would persist in the re turn wiiieh they had made. Mr. FRESHFIELD--Then you must take the conse quences. particularttee would. The return was then received, and sworn to in the usual form. LIMEHOUSE . There was a considerable decrease in the rentals of this parish, which the authorities accounted for by stat ing that a great number of houses had been pulled down to carry out the improve:nents contemplated in forming spacious streets leading to the docks• &c., and that until those improvements were completed the site of them would not yield any rent wbatever. This explanation was deemed satisfactory. The several other parish returns which were pre sented contained nothing of public interest, and there fore did not call for any remark from the Court. But it appeared from the result of the day's proceedings, that the rental of the county had considerably increased during the past year, to the amount, it was conjectured, of nearly 200,0001 POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAIRLBUROUGH- STREET. A journeyman coppersmith, named Evans, was sum moned before Mr. Hardwick fur breach of contract with his employer, Mr. Styles, coppersmith, Lisle-street, Leicester-square. Mr. Styles proved that the defendant entered into a ' written contract to engage himself for six months, at the wages of 235. weekly. The defendant came to work two or three days and then left him entirely. ➢dr. Pontifex, the coppersmith, said the defendant hail some time previously engaged himself to him for several months. The railroads made the trade so busy that it was of importance not to lose the services of even one man. He hoped the defendant would be obliged to fulfil his original engagement. Mr. Styles said he had no vindictive feeling towards the man, who was otherwise a good workman, and when not drawn away by liquor a steady man. But it was important to teach journeymen that they must not, after having engaged themselves to an employer for a stated time, leave their work and upset business with impunity. Had this been the defendant's first offence of the like sort he should perhaps have looked over it ; but as the defendant had done the same before, and had thereby set a bad example to others, he had determined to put the law in force against him. Mr. HARDWICK said, in order to teach him that he must not enter into engagements and break them capri ciously, to the great injury of his employers, he would send him to prison for one month. The defendant's solicitor said Mr. Styles would, of course, pay the man his wages all the time he was in prison. Mr. Styles said he would do whatever the magistrate required. Mr. HARDWICK looked over the Act, and came to the determination, instead of directing Mr. Styles to pay a proportionate amount of the wages, of cancelling the contract altogether. The defendant was then committed to hard labour for a month. niMar g aret t,rawley and Emma Evans were charged with annoying gentlemen in Hyde-park. Police-sergeant No. 102 of the A division stated that about eight o'clock last evening. he saw the defendants in Hyde park, near to Park-lane, accost and annoy different gentle men as they met them. The gentlemen turned out of their way to avoid their obstruction. Witness knowing them to be nightly infesting the park took them into custody. Inspector Plume, of the C division, said that Evans was brought before this court on Friday last, charged with in tending to drown herself in the Serpentine River. She then represented that she had been in service at Reading, and that her father was cAector of assessed taxes and parish clerk of Wallingford, and, that she had been inveigled from her service by a young farmer, who had deserted her. On the case being heard Air. Hardwick ordered 10s. to be given her from the poor-box, and that one of the officers of the Court should see her off by the railway train to her parents home. On the•way to the station the officer ascer tained that she was not the character she had represented herself to be, but had been known in the nei g hb ou rhood of Kilburn and the parks for many years. On this information the officer brought her back to the Court, when Mr. Hard wick, from a compassionate feeling, discharged her, ordering 2s. to be given to her for her immediate wants, with a cau • tion not to be brought before this Court again. (This case appeared in the evening edition of The Sun on Friday last.) The defendant Crawley was also identified as an old offender. Mr. HARWICK said that after dark persons like the pri soners should not be allowed to infest the parks. It was well known that their purpose was robbery, and that they had men accomplices with them to carry out their intentions. He should impose a fine of 405., or one month's imprison ment, on each of the defendants. Not being able to pro cure the money they were of course sent to gaol. CLERKEN IV ELL. _ Thomas Hitchin, late a beer-shop-keeper in Goswell-street, was charged with representing hims.ff to be a police con stable, for the purpose of obtaining admission into the house of Mr. Lewis Jones, Chairman of, the Licensed Victuallers' Protection Society, and proprietor of the Coach and Horses, in Fawn-street, in the liberty of Glasshouse.yard. The complainant stated that, on Monday night, the de fendant and another man came to his house, and wished to go up stairs, where there was a philanthropic society then assembled. He was told that no stranger was admitted unless introduced by a member; and he then said lie was a police constable, No. 39 K, and was in search of a party who had robbed the friend that was with him. Witness, dis believing him, told him that if lie would go out and bring an officer in his uniform, he would afford him every facility ; on which the accused went into the street, and pulling from his pocket a truncheon, said, " Now, am I a constable or not ?" At this instant a boy whispered into witness's ear the true character of the defendant, who immediately started off. He (com plainant) followed him, and gave him into the custody of police-sergeant S 4. His " friend" escaped. Mr. CoSInE asked the defendant what he had to say for himself?---The defendant said a " friend " of his had cer tainly been robbed, but that no proof was adduced to support that assertion. He further stated that, two years ago, lie was sworn in as a constable at the Thames Police. Mr. COMBE observed, that the latter remark satisfied him there was no dependence to be placed on his defence, as the magistrates had no power to swear in constables except on special occasions, such as riots and elections; and he ad journed the case for further investigation. BOW-STREET. Monday a dark-featured, middle-aged man, described as John Conatich Clinton, merchant, of Somerset-street, Whitechapel, was brought before Mr. Hall, on a warrant granted by his Worship, under the Act of Treaty be tween; her Majesty and the United States of America, for " giving up criminals fugitive from justice," &c , charged with being concerned in the forgery by which the Messrs. Little and Co., bankers and stockbrokers, of New York, were defrauded of 23,000 Mexican dollars in April, 1841. The prisoner, it may be remembered, was apprehended on the same charge upon the warrant of the Foreign Secretary of State, and taken before Mr. Jardine on precisely the same day (October 6), in 1843. On that occasion he was discharged on two grounds—it being the opinion of his Worship, in the first place, that the clause in the Treaty Act passed in 1842, which directed that " copies" of the depositions taken in America should be produced, had not been complied with. the "original" depositions having been forwarded instead ; and, in the second place, that the magistrate, not having been pre viously applied to for a warrant for the apprehension of the prisoner (as the Act directed), had no authority in the case. From that time to the present, it appears, no further steps had been taken. A Bill amending the original Act had received the sanction of the two States. and on Sunday last the prisoner was again taken Into custody by Inspector Haynes, the warrant having been granted by Mr. Hall the same morning. Mr. Mullins, of the firm of Bush and Mullins, attended for the prosecutors, and Mr. Sheard, from Mr. Parker's office, for the prisoner. Mr. Sheard said, he had only just received informa tion of the prisoner's apprehension, and begged for a short remand to enable him to have the assistance of Air. Chambers, who defended the prisoner on the last occa sion. There were other important reasons why a re mand would be essential to the prisoner, who rt quired time to produce witnesses. Mr. HALL felt bound to proceed with as little delay as possible, and certainly without ccntemplating the neces sity for a remand. Mr. Sheard said, material objections would be raised. on the prisoner's behalf, to the application of the Treaty Acts, passed after the alleged offence, to his case. Mr. • Chamlieni, who had urged these points on a former oc • casion, should therefore, in justice to the prisoner, have an opportunity of being present. Mr. HALL had no objection to wait a short time, until Mr. Chambers had been sent for. At the expiration of about an hour Mr. Sheard re turned with Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, with whom was in consultation on the bench, when Mr. M. Cham bers, Q.C., who had been previously retained by Bush and Mullins for the prosecution, arrived to conduct the case for his new clients aid former adversaries. This circumstance appeared to astonish Mr. Sheard, who had calculated upon the co-operation or the Learned 1 - `.otansel by whose advocacy the prisoner gained his ac • quittal on the last occasion. _ _ Mr. NI. Chambers briefly stated the case, which was one of considerable national importance. He alluded to the Treaty Act of August,lB42, and also to the subsequent Bill to amend the same, the latter of which merely re moved some of the difficulties which had been experi enced in the operation of the former one, and in conse quence of which the prisoner was discharged when taken before Mr. Jardine in 1842, on a charge arising out of the same transaction. No question could now arise upon the subject, as the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs had certified that the requisitions of those Acts had been fully complied with. It would be the duty of the magistrate, therefore, simply to act upon the written and oral testimony whtch would be submitted to his judgment regarding the prisoner, as he would anordi nary person who had been apprehended within his own issue of The difference could be only in the of the case—the prisoner at the bar being sent to take his trial before the tribunals of another country, instead of being tried by our own. Mr. Clarkson applied fur the immediate remand of the prisoner, who bad been apprehended under the most ex traordinary circumstances. In the year 1843 (and he would call upon his friend, Mr. Chambers, who was then the advocate of the man whom he now opposed, to con firm what he stated), the same parties were in moti on against the prisoner, who, after being kept in prison from June to October, was discharged by the magis trate because they failed in making out a case aga i nst him. He had been ever since a resident in England, and if any evidence, got op in another country in hi s absence, were to be admitted against him, it would be no more than sheer justice to allow him copies of the depositions, and an opportunity, iniotrtsesohoi le,cn.:tfe prisoner rrnt f :ei s mtfo h cht noeTret bank), t h ri required thereabouts, prosecutorsljaa‘ tvnvi recoverydsnhconse quently, What i enp t p , (0(ea)-sf. o f mi p h. i c o ai doogn commenced handsts mßh o uea f b e pnna y t ( h nr c e e e o db2c u p ia : sqv m hthiitiato e eede e ndnp t sl i tlar n yli:in g d:;h t tind h hhrte : d the amount, Judgment open which was to be pronounce.d in the city the very next day. The prosecutors knew this, and hence the course adopted by them. He (Mr, Clark son) had been so hastily instructed on the matter, that he hoped his Worship would, by remanding the prisoner for a week or a fortnight, enable him to do jus tice to his client, and his client to do justice to him self, by examining more minutely the multifarious circumstances of the case as alleged against him. He apprehend e d th at not hi ng so mo nstrously unjust as send ing the pris oner ou t o f the country before this oppor tunity were given him could be contemplated by his . Worship, who was expressly enjoined by the Act to judge of the case as he would one of every-day occur• rence within the jurisdiction of his own Court. He might refer to other important points in this case, in which, he should contend, the Act could have no refer ence whatever, being of subsequent date ; but for the present he should confine himself to his application for an immediate remand. Mr. Chambers was unwilling to object to the applies- WORSHIP-STREET. On Monday a young man of the Jewish persuasion, named Joteph Samuels, was placed at the bar before Mi. Broughton, charged with having attempted to murder his hrother, Mr. Henry Samuels, a master furrier and trimming manufacturer, in White Lion-street, Norton folgate. The prosecutor stated, that he returned to his own residence between eleven and twelve o'clock on Satur, day night last, after spending the evening with some friends, and having admitted himself with a latch-key, the house being entirely closed, observed a candle burn ing in the workshop, which was occupied by hie brother as a sleeping apartment, and proceeded there to procure a light. On entering the room, which was entirely quiet, he was astounded at discover inc his own wife and the prisoner in bed together; they had ev id ent ly, f rom their appearance, been only just aroused from their sleep by the abruptness of his entrance. On recovering from the startling shock produced by ,sueh a distressing spec tacle, he ordered them both in,tantly to get up and quit the house; but his wife obj-eted to leaving her home at such an unseasonable hour, with an in'ent at her breast, and requested permission to stay in the kitchen till the morning, to which he reluctantly assented. He then peremptorily repeated his order tor the prisoner to leave the house, when the latter instantly sprung towards the work-tuble, and seizing a large carving knife, and ex claiming with a dreadful imprecation that he would stick him through the body, made a desperate stab at him in the direction of his chest; but the witness by a violent effort warded off the blow with the candlestick, and knocked the knife nut of his hand. He then upbraided the prisoner with the infamy of his conduct towards him, when the prisoner tauntingly told ho that his wife had voluntarily sought the intercourse, and that it had taken place between them upon numerous former occasions. The witness had, in the mean time, thrown up the win dow, and called loudly for the pplice, and on the entrance of a constable he gave the prisoner into his custody. In answer to questions from the magistrate, the pro secutor stated, that he had been married to his wife for a period of seven y.-ars, and hail four children by her. the youngest of which was only a few months old, and that he had never witnessed an s. thing in her tem duct which could give rise to suspicion until the present unhappy occasion. What, moreover, added to the enormity of the prisoner's guilt was the fact, that about a tweivem,,uth since he hP.d mme up from tf e cut i l in a state of utter destii,utitin, without even t he ttea,, of g , tting 4itti-r food or and that be (t l ' e v ant ness) had not only afforded hiai nrimedinte shriter, had sinie oonifortably p ovid,(l for him, slid nut 1, 1 0 sup,diwi him %vitt, bona O. and loclOig. but l' u ; „ (1 , °: allowed him a liberal , ' - fu r -61 ' 1° wi_. zd air y a s sisting in his business. Police-constable II 73, and Emma Saniucls' the Silt ::: of the prosecutor, gave evidence which went far to ec' firm the chief features of the prosecutor's. The witnesses were subjected to a severe cross b 1 urination by Mr. Norton, the prisoner's solicitor, I v o however, entirely failed in eliciting anything in slightest degree at variance with their orig ina l testi O3 %, Mr. BROUGHTON had no hesitation whatever in cc nt , mating the prisoner for trial on the charge of O M lag to stab his brother.
