EVENING EDITION. AMERICAN PAPERS. l' EXTRACTS, SERIOUS AND COMICAL, PROM THE NEW YORK MORNING HERALD, RECEIVED YESTERDAY BY THE " PATRICK HENRY." THE WIND-UP OF AN ARTICLE ON BANKS AND CURRENCY.—These are lamentable, happy, hellish, pleasing, terrible, delightful, ghastly, agreeable events. We are in the midst of the total wreck of the present . banking and eoustsercial systems. Our prospects are, on oee hand, a metallic currency of 80,000,000 dollars to measure all values, or a National Bank, with its centre in New York, and circumference around the shores of the Atlantic and the Mississippi, to furnish a safe general currency, on a sound specie basis. There is no other alternative. We say, therefore, to the fashioe able mercantile bankrupts of New York, as our Lord said to Judas Iscariot, the ancestor of Major Noah, " What thou dost, do quickly." Break—for God's sake, break at once—break to-day, don't wait till Mon -1 day—break now, one and all, and if you can't break ithe banks, break all the brandy glasses of the City Hotel to-night, and let us at once come to a metallic currency, or a national bank as fast as possible. Break, bankrupts—bankrupts, break—and as the man in the play says, so say we, " Who the bell cares ?" A DUEL TO BE DONE,—M. Tasistro has written a letter, charging the two brothers Porter with certain conduct ; the Porters intend to challenge Tasistro, as they cannot otherwise meet the " soft impeachment." The result will be a duel, for Tasistro will fight ; whe ther Porter will fight or not is doubtful. He will eat, drink champaigne, swell, swagger, and brag ; but it is doubtful if he will fight. However, presuming that he will fight to patch up his reputation and his breeches, we will give both the core- Intents some advice. Don't go into Wall-street for s ceonds. Webb knows nothing about duels, and hates the 'well of powder ; Noah is an old botch, except when he is amongst old clothes ; but come to us, gen tlemen ; we have two compositors who will make the best seconds in the world ; they have stood three shots each, and have more courage and pluck than Webb and all his friends put together, now that the veritable Colonel Pluck has " shuffled off this mortal pail." SPOILS OW THE SUN.—A down east editor says that a s Nit about an inch in diameter, or " as large as a I pieCe ,lt chalk," is plainly to be seen " with t h e na k e d eye." • CURIOUS ROBBERY IN PHIL ADELPHIA .—A lady fainted and ,s ; eii down at the corner o f M ar k e t an d Se cond streets, ell Tuesday last. Another lady wen t to her assistance . N u ; actually stole her retic u l e , con taining a few articl e s .1116) 20 dollars in money. She did it from pure sympathy. 1 PROGRESS OF AMALGA LADELPHIA —Since the le: ULTION..---MORALS OF Pin ned savans and beautiful women of Conne c ti c ut h ave t N Cisquez and hi s w oo lly headeic!such an interest in brethren, as to bring their children to be kissed by them,. and to take lessons theseselves in Mandingo and Moonshee .from them, the progress of amalgamation has advanced wraith immensely rapid strides. A short time since a beaVtiful white girl was discovered here living with a Wm. k rascal, who had enticed her from her parents in Phila. I ,%.(phia ; the papers brillg us an account of g very l ido tsome white girl, the daughter of a coope." , in F:Anklin, La., giving birth to a black baby ; a young "bite lady at Haarlem has become so com pletely smiaers with the " sable fever," that she has opened a school exclusively for black children. And lastly, we have the following instance of the improve ment in morals and amalgamation in Philadelphia. A . carriage containing two ladies, egho represented them selves as mother and daughter, stooped at the outer gate of the Alms House, over the Schuylkill, on Thurs day last, when the youngest informed the keeper that her mother was anxious to obtain a white child, an Lis fant if possible, to adopt her as her own, she having lately Jost one. She was shown several, and at last made a ab.lection that pleased her, and requested permission to silos , it to her mother, who was in her carriage, and, if 1 i t 4uit, ,, d her, they would obtain an order from the guar . di a „; of the poor, and call in a day or two for it. The j child w -ae wrapped up in its cradle clothes, and taken by j herself to .41s.carraee, and after a few minutes' delay she returned and nt. s eetrthe babe where she found it, stat ing that they , w cssf s l call next day and take it away. 4.40 driven off, and nothing fur- The carriage wa s ther thought of th e t ra Is o caion, until it became neces- I sary to remove the child .'et;:onie cause, when it was discovered that the white chii:l la d been taken by the persons in the carriage, f and a blae_l( toe left in its place. Truly the osuse of amalgamation 24 is nzspering ex ceedingly 1 . Parson Pierrep on t, o f B oston , h as b een 2sehari t , d^ i from hi s re li g i ous ca lli ng b y t h e congregat i on o f H o lli t . 1 street Church, for the following novel reasons :—His attention was drawn from his duties by the making of books, and the manufacture of stoves and screws, and razor strops—and by his entering into every exciting topic that the ingenuity of the fanatic at home, or the imported mountebank could conjure up to distract and disturb the public mind, such as Imprisonment for iThibt, the Militia Law, Anti-masonry, Phrenology, Te m oerance, and, last of all, and, above all, the Aboli- Ition of „Slavery, a question which threatens more than all else the destruction of our Glorious Union. A PRINCE IN COURT.—Prince John Van Buren mWe his appotrance yesterday before the Court of j Erroes. He ma,:le a speech in the case of the Bank of Buffalo, versus N. 5. Kortright. His argument was as king, but hardly as stiff, as his whiskers. He is not equal to his Royal Father, but surpasses him in smal talk. ) Min Shirreff had quite a splendid benefit on Satur day night. Ai I was lounging tLere, I found myself by accident at full length standing clogq to a very respect able looking old gentleman, whose fare I did not see. As he turned round, I found it to be iny friend John Haggerty. I thought at first I could have swallowed Mount Etna, and bit in two Vesuvius, but discovering several very beautiful women near him, " order was re stored to Warsaw." In a short time I expect he will send m's the 500 dollars, as I want it particularly to give to the sufferers in the great Mobile fire. N.B.—ls it f►ir for Mr. Wa!lack to exchange red dog notes for Miss Shirreff's musical notes, without paying the discount? AMERICAN NAVAL ARCHITECTURE—CHEAP TRA YELLIN C. TO EUROPE—REDUCTION OF FARE.—There is not another nation on the face of this earth like the United States. God never made but one ry such, and we doubt whether he will ever try to make a second. None can build such floe ships and produce such men to command them—noblemen by nature—all of which is owing to our beautiful, spi ritod, lovely, glorious women, the very favourites of the Holy Virgin herself. New packet ships are turned off from the ship yards on the East river, almost as rapidly and as seautifuliy as young babes are thrown up into existence, exactly nine months after marriage, or as the Herald ne w s p a p er i s t h rown from our double cylinder 1 press, which pints over fifty papers per minute. On Wednesday morning a new ship of one thousand tons borthen was launched from the yard of Messrs. Webb and Allen, and as she dipped into the water, was 1.-ained the " New York." Her contour is very much like the Patrick Henry, and if there is any difference, it is in the more perfect symmetry of the bows of the " New York." William C. Barstow, Esq., for merly of the South America, wall take command of her, and he sails hence for Liverpool on the 7th of next ; month. Price of passage in the cabin 100 dollars. The cabins of the New York will surpass as ery thing of the kind afloat—even those of the famous English yacht belonging to the Earl of Yarborough. They will wet when finished 8,000 dollars, and the ship altogether 00,000 dollars. There are to be forty berths in twenty slte rooms, each to be finished off in the highest style and slegance. The wine vaults, the camboose, the ice hou se , the cow house, the place for fowls and such things have been so improved upon, that fresh eggs, fresh milk, 0001 winrr, and fresh meats will be on the table every da . v during the passage across the Atlantic, and what more can a sea voyager wish ? With the launch of this shccr commences an entire new system with three Liverpoo.! lines of packets. Th e p r i ce o f passage in the New ork, Virginian, Patrick Henry, George Washington, United States, South America, independence, Westchester, Sheffield, Oxford, Cam. bridge, Europa, Columbus, arid Itoseoe, has been re duced to 100 dollars. Thus every person who crosses the Atlantic in the above named si;ins will save forty dollars each trip, and enjoy themselves the same, 11%e the same, and have all the same c,-nnforts that th. 7 would in the steam ships at 170 do liars, or in four other Liverpool vessels at 140 dollars. Collins's line, therefore, s t ic k s at t h e hi g h-priced I.tzY system, as the sixpenny ‘Vall-street papers do, but she other lines hav e reduced their fares and taken' ground on the sound principles of cheapn ess , exce ll ence , rap idi ty , and comfort combined, ' ln short, they are acting on our system. A saint of Wall -street assure s us that our old friend Jask Olittggerty, is d ec id edly in fa a your of 9 main tenance of specie payments. G lad to hear he isgett getting right at last. Jack must have been reading the Herald of l a t e . If he is a real convert to the principle of specie payments, per fat ant nefas , as tau g h t by us, 1-shall expect soon to receive his check fo r 500 dollars he got me improperly fined in 1837 . General Jackson was reported dead en Saturday. We don't believe he will die till h of s ,„ p , n : aim and downfall ef ihe United States Bank When ti monster is dead, then Jackson will say, " Biddle's Bark is drvid—now let thy servant rest In peace, Ohl Lord," CONSUL TRIST.—At the last accounts from Havana, Trist was packing up his duds to come home, and val probably be here soon. By private letters we learn that the crew of the William Eng; have been released from prison. They were over one year in chains, and private ind';viduals were compelled to remonstrate with the Spanish: Government before the the poor sailors were set at liberty. They repeatedly applied to Trist, but he answ tired them with a twist of his mustaches, " I neither knowQf, or care about them. You have already troubled m e too much." ROGUERY.—Burglars and incendiaries are plenty in New Orleans, Mobile, Baltimore, and Philadelphia. They will soon increase in nnmber in New York. Look out for them. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nor 26. 11IE QUEEN V. THE MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND ASHTON-UNDER-LINE RAILWAY. In this ease a rule for a writ of certiorari had been obtained, calling upon the defendants to return a cer tain inquisition taken in the county of Lancaster, in March last, into that Court. The inquisition had been held under the provisions of the 7 Win. IV., cap. 21, when a jury had been impannelled to assess the damages and value of a piece of land which had been taken for the purposes of the defendants' railway, and several ob jections, chiefly of a technical nature, had been taken to the provisions under the inquisition. One, however, was of rather a singular nature, which excited some laughter in the Court, namely, that the Railway Com pany had feasted the jury during the three days the in quisition had lasted. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL and Sir WILLIAM FOL LETT were now heard at some length against the rule, and Sir F. Por.Locs and Mr. COLES i n support o f i t . The COURT, after hearing the arguments of Counsel, was of opinion that the rule should be discharged, with costs. COMMON PLEAS' Nor. 26. NUNN V. JOHNSON, PITCH, AND STORMER. This was an action for breaking and entering the plaintiff's house, and seizing certain of his goods. The plea was that it was for a rent distraint, under a frau dulent removal. Mr. Sergeant Bompas and Mr. Petersdorff were for the plaintiff; Mr. Platt and Mr. James for the de fendants, On the case being called, defendant's attorney stated both his counsel were absent, Mr. Platt being engaged ID the Exchequer, and Mr. James (he believed) in the Sheriffs' Court.—(A laugh.) His LORDSHIP ordered the case to proceed, when Mr. WATSON entered the Court, and said Mr. Platt had just given him his brief, but he had barely read the names of the parties. The Learned JUDGE-Oh you will do very well. — (A laugh.) From the plaintiff's case it appeared that Nunn had taken a house of Fitch (next door to which lived Stur mer, agent to Fitch) on the 21st of January. On the 10th of April Fitch called, and was told by Nunn that, as he was losing money there, he must leave in a week ; and that, on the 23d, the defendants removed the furniture from a house in which plaintiff then lived, near Cannon-street. The witness who deposed to these facts was an om nibus driver, who lived in Nunn's house, and also in Nunn's absence (who was a waiter at a city tavern) sold fish with Mrs. Nunn. He gave as a reason for accu rately remembering the 10th of April, that he had only sold fifteen pennyworth of fish that day—(Laughter)— and on being further pressed, he recollected that it was a "couple of soles" and a " little bit of cod."— (Laughter.) He was cleverly cross-examined by Mr. Watson, and it was elicited that when the goods were removed (on the 18th) they were taken first to a house near the City-road, and there remained all night, Nunn, his wife, and himself, sleeping on the chairs altogether —(Laughter)—and that on the following morning, be fore six, the goods were removed to the house near Cannon-street. He said he would not take 301. for the goods. One or two witnesses, relatives or friends of the plaint:ff , deposed to conversations in which it w as ad mitted t ,':at the rent would not be due till the 21st. M r. w A .:soN made a very able speech on behalf of the defendants, . aL pressing on the attention of the jury that the interme ate removal of the goods was clearly fraudulent, and intent2ed to prevent the landlord's disco vering them, and that ti;erefore it came within the sta. tute for the protection of landlords against such re movals, to avoid distraints for rent due. During : the Learned Counsel's Address, Mr. Platt and Mr. James came into Court, and did what they could in the way of suggestion, &c., td Aid their client. Mr. Sergeant BOMPAS objected that the"e were some parts of defendant's plea—which justified not only the seizing but the conversion—which had not been p;oved. The Learned JUDGE said, if the Jury found for the defendants that point might be reserved for the opinion of the Court. His Lordship told the Jury that they must first decide whether the seizing of the goods was by defendants, any or either of them ;—then, whether the removal of the goods by plaintiff was fraudulent or not, and whether rent was in arrear at the time of such removal. The Jury first found for defendant. The Learned JUDGE—But, gentlemen, there are three issues. I presume you cannot doubt upon the evi dence that the defendants took the goods. Your verdict must therefore be for plaintiff on that. You mean, I 'pose, to find that the removal was fraudulent, and in arrear ? ren t nan—Yes, my Lord. For •ood deal of consultation, the Jury f o u n d for After • the second and third issues, and for the defenda. 181. (the general plea of not guilty plaintiff on the of the taking.) -Nem; disposed to take another His LORDSHIP St.. course, but - Mr. Sergeant Bolav a s sa id the Court would not g o f ur th er . rserib.aps at this late hour siAt of Wog later The Learned JUDGE said he thou r „ than four (the hour then). Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD—We do not - t4ually later here, my Lord. The Learned JUDGE—WeII, I am as little fond pi ' ; late sittings and as little disposed to introduce any un savoury innovations as anybody.—(Laughter.) But. we have only tried three causes, one undefended. Mr. Sergeant TALPOURD—On, that is very well my Lord—we think that a very good days' work. The Learned JUDGE—HaIf-past nine to-morrow, then. KILRUSH PETTY SESSIONS. " Those blasted Pines."—MANFAED. A GREAT BORE.—Malachi Carrg, the aggrieved one in this case, sported, on coming forward, a counte nance of which it was difficult to say whether dirt or shrewdness were the preponderating characteristics, and the left eye of which was, " Like the lost pleiad, seen no more below." Malachi, according to his own account of matters— and practice has made him perfect in Petty Sessions' detail—had for a length of time been subjected to a series of petty persecutions at the hands of a certain Mr. Pine, who now, as he expressed it, " stud hard by him afore the coort out," looking in condition anything but blasted, and togged in a smartly-cut frieze coat, rather flashy vest, with whiskers and assurance to match. Master Malachi was requested to enlighten his Wor ship as to the immediate cause of the action, and com menced accordingly—" Be my word, sir, an' be my oath likewise, I was jest preparin', you see, for bed a Sathur day night last—an' if I was—l was sittin, you persave, overright the fire openin' the knees o' me small clothes (with respects to you), aa' takin' a puff o' the pipe, when Misther Pine walked in, more free than welcome, in a sort ov a flurry." Pine—Oh, dickons have the liars, Malachi dear. I kern into 3 ou sedate an' proper, didn't I, why ? Garrig—Hurry no man's baste in the hate o' the day. " Your pig is threspassin' on me, Malachi," says he. • There's me pig snorin' like a secrethary o' state in the corner," says I, goin' over and givin' the breute a pinch o' the tongs in the are, the way she'd sing out an' make a Bard ov him before all present.—(Laughter.) " That's a nibor's pig," says he. "Be this blessed iron it is not," says I, houldin' up the tongs. " Arrah, lave off your capers, an' go home," says me wife ; " go home Misther Pine. An' God's pace be wid you, as King James said to his hounds," says she. "Go to blazes," says he. " You're an uncorrigible bligard," says she. " You're a hard," says he, an' at that word out wid him. MAGISTRATE—Remember, no long stories. " I'll give your riverince my head on a block," re plied Malachi, " ov I keep you five minits longer. Well, S:r, this boy (tapping Pine on the head) then wint over the ditch o'me little haggard, an' before we could say, d—l speed you,' or snow to your heels,' my little door got a mallet ov a stone that ruz meself out o' the chair it med rich an aycho."—(A laugh.) Here Mr. Carrig came to a stand still, upon which Mr. Pine rubbed his hands and protested that " he wouldn't wondher at all ov he wint so far as to say, twas he thrun id." _ " Bother !" quoth Malachi in continuation, " my oinadacvn ov a wile was runnin to slip the bolt an' have a look out for a curasity sake. ' Are you tired o' your Lie woman alive ?' says I, or do you want to have only two e}es beteune us (I'm dark your Worship ov me right eye.—(Laughter.) Oh, be dad I am, teetotally blind ov id tor one eye. Lave that boult fast for irwrcy's sake,' says Ito the wife, for that was a great, ?uniper,' says I, an' there's more where it came from.'" Pine—Eth:n, lave off your pishogues, sure 'twas at a p;g I thrum one scone, an' may be it hot your place in a mistake. MAGISTRATE—Did he strike the house more than once. Malachi—More than once. D—l a stop he stopped, till he played a regular theune o n the same door, an ' l eft id in a manner all op-marked wid blows.—(Gre a t lauwhter.) Mister Carrig, an Irish witness, corroborated his (Lies testimony. Pine—lndeed, Sir. 'tis just as I tould you. Malachi—lndeed, Sir, 'tis no such thing. Arrah, man alive, usen't I be comin' the road ov a moonlight night, an' he's give me a powdher ov a sod ov turf in the , poll b e hi n d, an' then say 'twas all for sport's sake , an' that J eu k e Wellintin never med a betther shot. MAGISTRATE —Well, go down now, and we'll bind him to the peace. " That's jest the cut ov id, so it is„" exclaimed Ma lachi, whose only optic glistened with delight at the announcement, as he walked out, while Master Pine , commenced peering into the faces around Inn', in search of "solvent and responsible security." There are no less than 115 prisoners in Dundalk jail at present, a considerabl e number of whom are charged with crimes emanating from the Ribbon system. —Dublin Tory paper. THE SUN. LONDON . .WEDNESDAY, 'isTOVEMBER 27, 18:49, THE REPEAL OF THE CORN-LAWS A RELIGIOUS QUESTION. TO THE EDITOR OF THE PATRIOT. SIR,—To feed the hungry, and by charitable insti tutions, to alleviate the sorrows of the poor, are consi dered religious duti es . C an t h e en d eavour to b r i ng food within the reach of the poor by an act of justice —can the enabling the poor to purchase food with their own money, instead of supplicating for it in the shape of alms or parochial relief—be less a religious duty ? The new Poor-law throws the poor upon their own resources ; the Corn-law causes them to pay as much for one loaf as would suffice for two. The poor may no longer tax the land of the landlord for their support, by demanding relief out of the poor-rates in aid of wages ; yet the landlord still taxes the fond of the poor for his support in aid of rent, and for the payment of his mortgages. The ministers of religion, the watch men of Israel, ought to regard this as an act of oppres sion. The enemies of negro slavery ought to look upon this partial bondage of their own countrymen with a por tion of that sympathy which obtained freedom for 'ha injured African. On the most moderate calculation, it requires the labour of two days out of six to pay for this superfluous tax upon food ; a tax which goes not to the national exchequer ; which injures most seriously the manufacturing and commercial interests of the land ; which robs the middle classes, impoverishe , the working classes, and which can be proved, in the long run, to hurt the farmer, and which only partially benefits the persons for whom alone they exist, the 30,000 landlords of the kingdom ; the benefit to them being of a very doubtful nature ; and supposing it really to exist, putting their persons and their estates in danger whenever several bad harvests shall have succeeded each other. The inflammable minds of the suffering people ought not, under these circum stances, to be left to the torch and dagger principles of the demagogue, but the Ministers of the Gospel of peace ought to bring the powers of their mind to bear upon the subject in cool and deliberate exami nation. With a determination to preach the whole counsel of God, _they should, with the utmost eloquence of their tongue, enlarge upon the denun ciations made by the Apostle James against such acts of oppression. Human nature is the same now as when he said, " But ye have despised the poor. Do not rich men oppress you."—" Go to now, ye rich men ; weep and howl for your miseries that shall come upon you. Behold, the hire of the labourers who have reaped down your fields, which is of you kept back by fraud crieth ; and the cries of them that reaped are entered into the ears of the Lord of Sabaoth." A year ago I thought it my duty to bring this subject before the people of this place, in a sermon from the text, "He that withholdeth corn, the people shall curse him, but blessing shall be upon the head of him that selleth it."— (Proverbs, xi. 26.) I commend this passage to the careful consideration of every one whose office it is to expound the sacred volume. When the multitudes fol lowed Christ for the loaves and fishes he sent them away empty ; but when they suffered from hunger, without any fault of their own, he multiplied the loaves that were at hand, and distributed amongst them until they were filled. That which he did miraculously, we must imitate by the use of means ; and if the united exertions of all Christians could double the quantity of food now to be purchased by the wages of the working men, suffering, as they are, under a high price of bread, caused by no fault of theirs, it becomes most assuredly their duty to exert themselves in this matter. • . . I address a word to Dissenters? I would say that nothing gratifies the high Churchman more than to see a timid line of conduct -?n the part of Dissenters, in any question in which their'principles are involved! He re joices to see a man silent, and shrinking from the post of danger, lest he should be called a political Dissenter, the ally of Papists and Socinians, the companion of Radicals and infidels! In Scotland the meeting houses of Dissenters have been opened to those splendid appeals to the understanding and to the conscience recently made by the Anti-Coro-law lecturers ; but the last number of that valuable periodical, the " Anti- Corn-law Circular," complains that in England the Lecturers have not yet obtained this privilege. I would respectfully ask, Why should they not? It is true that the greater part of the Clergy would not open their Churches if they could ; but it is also true that they could not if they would, the law being opposed to them. In a town which has a Tory Pro• Corn-law Mayor, the Guildhall will pro bably be refused ; mechanics' lecture halls, and tempe perance hafts, are not to be found in the smaller towns ; and unless the t oeeting-houses of Dissenters be opened to them, the Lecturer' will riot have an opp or t un ity o f : addressing the large assemOes which would be collected to hear them. .

THE RAILWAY LABOURER.--The navigator appears to belong to no country, he wanders from one public work to another—now alone, then with a party of two or three ; and as long as he has sixpence in his pocket seems content, but sets so little value on the earnings of his slavish employment as never to be at ease unless in squandering them, although well paid for his la hour. Go where he will, he finds some of his comrades w h op / he has met in some part of England before, and makes; !nquiries as to their mode of living, the wages LL';ev were t naid since they last met, &c. Hi s a tti re i s peculiar. l • ;s heat; he wears a kind of white felt h a t, the brim of whichturneu -up all round, and generally a tobacco-pipe Li stuclt in the !"ant!, which is of some glaring colour, a velv,°t 6116 • oting.jacKe!'• with white but tons, a scarlet plushaistooat of large 46 eksi9P , , with little black spots on sometimes a brig!' t co- I loured neckerchief round his ne,"ic, and sometimes nu- ' thing at all ; inexpressibles of cL2rduroY retained in their position by a leather strap rouo the waist, and tied and buttoned at the knee ; sometimes white stockings or grey worsted encircling most robust knes, and high-laced boots of strong build, complete his dress. His " dicky," or small smock frock, is slung, when he trove's, at his back, and by the arms in front ; in this he carries whatever else he has in the world, except the clothes he wears. In some things he makes an atempt at taste—in the dressing of the hair, by wearing one or more ringlets on each side of his face, upon which great value is placed. He knows no other pleasure or domestic comfort than is affordeu it , a public house or beer-shop, brawling or drinking with his compa nions after the toils of the day.—Gloucestershirc Chro nicle. From the almost incessant rains which have pre vailed during the present month, our lowlands have been partially inundated ; subsequently to the lull moon, however, on Thursday last, the weather has assumed a more favourable character, the wind has gone round to the north, and the atmosphere consequently become more cold and seasonable.—Sussex Advertiser. CORONER'S INQUEST.- AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, an in quest was held at the Britannia public-house, Bri tannia-terrace, Lower-road, Islington, on the body of Mrs. Mary Butts, aged 32 years, who, while occu pied in her domestic duties on Thursday afternoon last, was seized with an apoplectic fit, and falling on the floor, instantly expired. — Verdict—Natural Death. We have great pleasure in being able to announce that the Marquis of Normanby has directed the release from custody of the Rev. Mr. Davis, the Dissenting- Minister of Canterbury, in whose house a relative. from Newport, unhappily implicated in the late Chartist out rages, was found ; there not appearing on the face of the depositions any cause for his detention. EXTRAORDINARY AFFAIR.—As a police constable named Yates, No. 59, of the C division, w;:s perambulating Great Windmill -street, Haymarket, when he was on duty last week, he suddenly placed his back against some window shutters, and commenced laughing in a strangely wild and incoherent manner at *very person who passed. This extraordinary conduct soon drew a crowd of persons around him. Some po licemen from the adjoining beats approached for the purpose of dispersing the mob, and were greatly asto nished to find their fellow constable flourishing his hat on the end of his staff, evidently in a state of madness. After considerable difficulty they succeeded in conveying him to the Vine-street station-house, where he was put to b e d, and Mr. Tothill, of Broad -street, Golden square, the surgeon of the division, bled him and ad ministered sonic medicine to him. The man still con tinues in a rate of raving madness, and labouring under a delusion that some person is coming to kill him. It is a singular fact that Cully, the unfortunate policeman who was mortally stabbed in the Spa-fields outrage in May, 1833, belonged to the same division, and wore the same number on his coat (59) as the man Yates, who has been so suddenly deprived of his mental faculties. TILE PRICE OF A KISS.—At the Halsted Petty Session, on Tuesday, one Mr. George Sale, a tailor, was charged with having, at the parish of Castle Hedingham, designedly and' feloniously robbed one Mrs. Sarah Baring of an article of personal property—to wit, one kiss, whereby he had subjected himself to all the pains and penalties, convictions and commitments in that case made and provided. Mrs. Baring's lord was a brickmaker, and while he was at his employment, han dling clay through the long long night, Mr. Sale was sighing for the 4‘ piece of animated clay," which was left lonely in his dwelling.

(From the Pol.yteclinic Journal.) For the advantage of the public, through the medium of the undoubted interest of the Directors and Share holders, we shall proceed to lay before those gentlemen a few memoranda collected during various railroad trips end journeys, not doubting but they will see the imme diate necessity of correcting the manifest and unneces sary evils. ANNOYANCE IN GETLING TICKETS.—Many blanks have to be filled up in the tickets while the public are crowding round to obtain them. Surely all this formality of scribbling is not necessary ? Why not have all the tickets for the day ready for delivery, or in some condition of readiness so as to require as little writing and delay as possible ? The method of herd ing and driving passengers is also unbecoming, offen sive, and not necessary. There is generally a passage be tween the counter on one side and the rails on the other, and passengers have to huddle through like going into the pit of a theatre on a crowded night. It is im possible to carry much luggage through this narrow pass, and if you set it down behind you in the waiting -t oon: for the porters it may be lost ; or if you personally give it to a porter, you do not know whereabouts he may de posit it, which will be most particularly awkward if von have to leave at any other station than the farthest end of the line. In the Croydon railway this nuisance is remedied. The tickets are all ready beforehand, and are obtained at a counter remote from the passage to the carriages; so that at this railroad terminus there is no squeezing of a helpless and humiliated public. MISLEADING TRAYELLERS.--The trains from Croydon, at the opening of the railway, started at twenty minutes past eight, and twenty minutes past nine. This was soon altered to ten minutes past sight, and ten minutes past nine ; yet in the sixpenny guide-books sold by the railway servants, within the enclosure, to which there is access to those only who have paid for tickets. there was, for weeks after, a table showing the hours of starting, in which the previous statement was not cor rected ; and this, too, although on a leaf at the end of this guide there Was a promise that a new edition would be issued whenever there was an alteration of the time or of the fares. Tnis was the more con spicuous as all the rest of the leaf was blank. Further more, placards with the erroneous statement continued, for several weeks after, in the windows of tradesmen at Croydon. Of course, a person trusting to this informa tion from the fountain-head, would come too late for these two trains. But it was of no consequence ; the Company lost no money, as the traveller must still go by the next train, and it was too much trouble tor the clerks to lift a pen to correct the bcoks or placards. They feel no inducement to take this trouble, unless they can keep somebody waiting meantime. The ex pense of new placards is a small and ridiculous matter, and it is strange that they should not always be re printed and exhibited. Servants should also go round to the different shops with fresh placards,-or corrective patches and means of blotting out the errors promul gated " on the best authority." DENIAL OF INFORMATION.—A. traveller, having in view a journey to the west of England, sent his servant to the station at Vauxhall to inquire what coaches ran from the railway at Basingstoke. The reply was simply and drily, " That they knew nothing about the coaches !" He decided to go by Southampton, and went down to Basingstoke. There was only one stage-coach, and in that the places had all been taken at London. He had adopted the obvious method of getting information, but had not obtained it. He joined with a friend, and at a considerable increased ex pense went by a post-chaise to Winchester, where he had to wait two hours for the train to Southampton. How easy would it he for the clerk at each station to make a list of an coaches which run from such station, the hours at which they run, and the trains which arrive at that time. There are plenty of idle hours fo r hi m . And should it not b e expressly a part of his business ? Have not the public a right to obtain all such reasonable information ? The clerk's hours are long, but there is little to do in the interval between the trains. Such a list for each station might be hung up on the station house at Vantbell, and then the public could get somi better information than that " they know nothing about the coaches !" This will equally apply to other lines. TIE INSOLENCE OF OFFICE.—As everybody has by this time experienced the rudeness, causticity, and at tempt at distant hauteur of the clerks ; the dictatorial and " apprehending' style of the policemen (pardonable only, and then AOLDwenclable, in the presence or pros pect of danger), with the off-hand seizures and vulgarity of the porter s ; it i s not necessary to do more than allude to the fact thus publicly. We are quite sure that the Directors and Shareholders, once aware of its real extent, will never permit its continuance. The least excusable of all are the clerks, because in the perform ance of their dety there can be no attendant dangers w h a t o iser, and no sudden claims upon the energies of action to quti!Yv their abrupt and unprovoked rudeness. Their behaviour is a . perfect specimen o f th e e ff ec t o f au thority upon !wig*, ;Muds. Many young men thus circum stanced conduct thenntelves towards those who apply for tickets with a cold antnepttln air } while to those who come in the innoaeneo of their beg r 4 tp ask infor mation of the great mania with the pen, hp scareeiv ever gives a civil reply of any kind, and ovonin his dry retort —which is generally to the effect that he does nrit know, and that they should use their eyes—he seldom deign to look at the person addressing him. We once took occasion to mention this continual and unprovoked in solence, in conversing with one of the Dir ec t ors . In solent !" exclaimed he ; " the clerks insolent I God bless my soul, you don't say so ! Surely you mat iteve been irritable, or m some way or other have trans gressed our laws ? I are up find clown continually, and I never experienced anything but the very g reatest re spef4 4pd attention from all the otheers and i er V 44 * of not eo nip , v - 4y )" (But th e clerks knotty the iiir"444. and hencd the civility.) WANT OP ACt I OS 4O DAriON FOR PERSONS WAIT ING THE AUBIVAL OF THEM Fumips.—At most of the stations of the railways there is no accommodation whatever. Those who Rre waiting for their friends, or for valuable packages, must stand outside, exposed to all states of the weather. There is no permission to get within the gates, and no shelter provided outside. A wife or sister coming by a train can get no assistance from husband or brother to look after her luggage, or get for her a conveyance, Soon after the South- atupton Railway was opened a husband was absolutely taken into custody and brought before the Magistrates for getting into the forbi4den enclosure to look for his wife, who was cowing by the train. Husband, brother, or lover, all tmust stand poking anxious noses through the bars. This is the befit chance they can obtain anywhere ; and at the Croydon station there is a division of the yi-, t yl where friends are graciously par , witted to stand and look. ;through the inclosure to see when their friends arrive, to whom they may also call out, and wtt tyhom they may even shaita hands through the bars. If no oth,.er means of preventing litiFir4inent ictrusion can be discove:4::l of course it never will iF no wish for such discovery eicict), there should at least be some sort s, oiled outside, however to protect those who really haep business there from ;Delo mency of the weather, boo who ought not, being 0 . '6 large majority, to be made to ,;,iffy for the possib!e advent of impertinent intruders. WANT OF COACiIEi?. AT TUE STATIONS.—The ways have, on many lines, worked the coaches off the roads. You must travel to the nearitzl. station, and go thence to the town which you desire to resod), by oue of the branch coaches, some of which come from a grei f t distance. But you can have no security of getting one; perhaps you must wait three, four, or more hours. Again : if you arrive at the hour when the branch coach starts, it may be full ; you may have to wait twenty four hours for another chance ; and, if it be Satnrday night, there may be no chance tier you until Monday, You seldom can take a place from t.ondou, or, if such a thing can he mana4e(l by the " knowing ones," it is scarcely possible for the stranger to tint[ wit bow he is to do the same, because, as before crated, the piwpie at the railway offices will give no information on the subject. A RAILWAY JOURNEY IS OFTEN THREE JOURNEYS —We are not about to include this circumstance in the list of unnecessary evils and annoyances to which the traveller by railroads is at present subjrct. We merely mention the fact that the directors and shareholders may perceive that sufficient jam) veniences occur of themselves, without being enhanced by imperfect arrangements, and the misconduct of officers and servants. If you live in the City end would go down by the railroad, there is a metro politan journey to Vauxhall or Euston-square, or to the station of the Great Western, which is nearly a mile far ther off than the Yorkshire Stingo. This is a journey of itself to begin w i t hj then there is the railway ourney ; and possibly you are ; set down a mile or upwards from the t o wn which y ou d es i re to reac h. Tile Harrow and Watford stati ons are i nstances o f thi s ; one being up wards of a mile distant, the other nearly a mile. The Tring station is a mile and a quarter from the town ; the station nearest to Northampton is some miles dis tant. More or less, this is the case on all the roads. Hence there is a third journey before getting to the inn, and three times to look after their luzgage. The loss , of time is considerable, and the exhaustion proportioned to the want of refreshment, unless you encumber your- I self' with provisions. WANT op REFRESHMENTS.—At Reading, in order' to get to London on Monday morning by the first train, you rise at six o'clock, leave fifteen minutes bef ore seven, arriv e at Twyford fifteen or twenty minutes ' before eight ; you wait for the train getting ready, g e t to Paddington at half past nine, and reach home by ten or after. It is scarcely possible to get breakfast at the inn at Reading upon the serv ants to force them to get up ( even if so early, and it would be very ha r d you cou:d) at five in the morning for so small a matter of remuneration. Besides, you are not hungry so early, But at Twyford, after a ride of sundry miles, you could take a cup of coffe e or tea, and eat a few slices, hut j pdy is allowed to sell you any sort of refreshment. in like matme ri, 41; (lildford, you get up early, r id e five miles to wait fOr the tr4;n, and proceed to Vauxhall : possibly, and indeed very often, the omni buses are full ; you must take a cab or get home how 1 you can, sick to death for want of some trifling refresh ment. If the Directors would only allow a policeman's wife to make tea and coffee, and sell it to the passengers who are waiting for the train, they would willingly pay her a good price for it, and she would make a better living than her husband, and do much for public comfort, and no harm to anybody. Again : suppose you leave town too early for your usual dinner (and cannot force your self to eat for the sake of laying-in a stock against hunger), and are either indisposed to burden yourself with provisions —or you forget to provide them—or dislike to take things which you will have to cat in presence of the hungry eye--!s Of your fellow-passergers— discomfort, and perhaps fineness and pain, are pretty sure to supervene, by the time you are thirty or forty miles on the road. You can get nothing. The train may stop five minutes at a station, but nobody is permitted to hand you a glass of ale and a biscuit ; even if such things were in readiness. The discern. fort is not a necessary evil. There need be no de lays in this matter where the train stops five minutes, and it is sheer perversity to attempt getting up a list of difficulties against. so obviously easy a proceeding. Let twopenny packets of biscuits or sandwiches be in readiness, with age and a score or two of bail. runt pots, and no elionee to be given ; then the fault of no refreshment, at natural intervals, would rest with those who forget to furnish themselves with halfpence or fourpenny pieces, and who (lid not chease to spend sixpence or a shilling in consequence of their own remissness. As it is, there is no relief for you. English habits are all against this forced absti nence. We have been too long accustomed to the means of getting something during the five minutes employed by the long stages in changing horses, not to feel this new law of no-refreshment as a very great annoyance. To those who are weak, or in bad health, it is a serious consideration ; it is some consideration to every body. When the Southampton Railway to Woking was first opened, the Directors had a most capital dinner to ce lebrate the occasion, during which the steam was got up with Champagne, and chine and turkeys added consi derably to the luggage of the returning convivialists. Happening to read a most exhilarating account of this in the newspapers, we imprudently fancied that Wok ing was a place where something eatable and a bed, if desired, might be had for money. We went down, intending to remain from Saturday after noon till Monday morning. On arriving we found the place was a dreary common. Five or six passengers on alighting srarted off to amuse themselves, as it ap peared, with a race on the common, to stretch their legs and expand their animal gas. We soon afterwards heard that there was a public house at a village about a mile off, indicated by a steeple over the trees, and we than understood the occasion of the race on the corn mon, which was evidently to secure all the beds. By persevering in our inquiries we next ascertained the locality of the village of Woking, which was two miles distant. We tredged off accordingly. There also the beds were all engaged by the officers of the station. We had therefore to retrace the two miles back to the station. As to refreshment here, we might just as well have been sent upon an iceberg in the North Pole. We were obliged to proceed to Kingston, which is miles distant. It was a pretty trip of pleasure, truly, all this! It is a fact that several tents had beep pitched by httmano and intelligent epeeeletoee in vic tuals ; but such is the antipathy of the Directors to other people eating and drinking, that all thee? tented comfortera of the public had been driven away by a threat to lay informations. Of course we were by this time half-starved. Persevering in an inquiry of one of the clerks as to where one could get a scrap of anything to eet, he at length replied ? withoet lifting hi§ eyed frenn th e paper whereon he %yea writing, that hri43 were laid down to build en inn !" HARDSHIPS or ii.4Tt,w4y 414.1 T ICg•eeeTile servants of the railways are worked so many hours, and under such circumstances, that they are much to be pitied, and their ill-humour, in some cases, is pardonable accordingly, They come early, and remain l a t e t and ever; on Sun days' there is little relief for them. With those solitary policemen who have to walk along the line of the road, the life is monotonous and wearisome to the last degree, owing to the length of time at a stretch which this duty is required of them.• The hostility of the Directors, or their agents, to eating, is equally displayed towards their servants. If a policeman were seen tasting a morsel of,onything he would be discharged. If his wife were to bring him a SUrreptitioail cup of tea and a slice of bread and butter he dare not take it, except at extreme hazard of " the condign !" An adventurous policeman, who was turned away for this crime (but is now on the Croydon Railway), was accustomed n 0.% and then to run the risk, and he has at times kept his bread and butter secreted an hour and a half before he could find an opportunity slily to pop it into his mouth. But the villain was detected at last, and immediately discharged. The Company always keep a week's salary in hand, out of which they levy all the fines, and this policeman was fined a day's pay according to the law against his misdemeanour. We would submit it to the directors and their agents, that the hard treatment of their servants in this respect is one cause of their fre quent ill behaviour. They are made morose by hunger. This is not necessary. They should be relieved at less protracted intervals. DANGER TO THE LUGGAGE.--Many persons hare lost tliPir luggage in railway travelling, and it is at all times in haward. Where it is only a moderate-sized carpet-bag, an individual may carry it himself, and place it under the seat of his carriage ; but if his luggage be the usual quantity required for a long journey, it is taken away and deposited out of sight of the travel ler among a miscellaneous heap, It would be very easy to affix a card to the luggage with a mere mini tee on It, ind give a corresponding tielset to the pas senger, to be produced when ho took his luggage away. By this means every body would be sure of his awn, and no false claims could be made. This is done in the Bel reilweys,and it is the common practice in public places in kriglAuti, ngt, lty the present tgrangernent the lug s gage is liable to he claimed rind P4vrFerriedOff by persons leaving at the stations along the line, fir even"by ae g i. dent or design at the end of the journey. Such' things have occurred, sapid When important papers are lost (bon• nets, caps, trinkets, ne matter what) the annoyance is excessive, Surely this danger might be reinedintl: DANGER OF TUB O,'gr c44 l q4Ug6.—The open carriages, when the wind does not bring the but ashen into your face, are very pleasant on a warns day but iq cold, wet, or windy weather, and throughout the whole of the winter season, they are dreadful. This is chiefly owing to the bleak and patting drafts, which howl and whistle through them. The discomfort—to use the most moderate expression —is felt at its utmost by those who sit with their faces towards the engine. Why are not all the carriages made in a way to protect the public from the wind and rain ? We are afraid we must assign the cause—until a better rea son be given —to the not very generous purpose of com pelling all passengers who can afford it, or whose health renders it imperative, to travel in the more expensive carriages. The plan is successful, but is effected by perilling and often materially injuring the health of all those of delicate constitution, or already invalids, who cannot afford to pay (though sometimes they ar e ca m . pelled, when there are none of the third cliss) for the e.t.a and Second class carriages, to the filling of which they are consequently made the sacrifices. Even the stronger passengers are ma d e uncomfortable, and con tinually catch dangerous colds from the drafts rush teeeuefi the open carriag es . N ow, if this be done from the utettvee suggested, we can only say that it is bad policy. We beg io call the attention of the Di rectors to the fact that this bad policy limits the event ct eeikey travelling in a very great degree. Nobody of humble means will travel in bad weather by the rail roads, except from neeessity, The numerical amount of travellers is circumscribed by this compulsory ex pense. just as in the case of lettere by the general post end the efPcts of the reduction of the duty will furnish a good teat of the expediency of the change proposed by the D:rectors. At present the Companies low by their policy in the long run. There is no objection to arm class of carriages being made as much more luxu rious and splendid than the rest as possible, but all of them ought to be so constructed as Put 41 injure health or endanger life. RAILWAY BOARD LEGISLATION.—The Acts 14 1 mot always contain a clause giving power to the Directors to make rules and regulations for their servants—and the public. Penalties are fixed for the eniurcement of these rules, not exceeding five pounds. This ro ►y ha all very good, and practical legislation as regards the officers and servants of the Company, and the means of levying the fines are already in the hands of the authorities in the shape of a week's arrears of wages, or more, as it may hap pen. But how the fines are to be obtained from the offending public we do not so clearly perceive. The Directors of the Great Western institute a law, that if any individual travel on their railway without pur chasing a ticket, he may be fined five pounds. In other words, the individual who attempts to get his passage without paying the fare shall be punished by having to pay five pounds instead. This seems rather dictatorial, and certainly very amusing ; but is it fair to the vast majority of the public who honestly "pay their way ?" Suppose you lose your ticket !—this has often occurred with people who very honestly pay for it, and often must occur. What is the consequence ? The Company may accuse you of the violation of this law, and demand five pounds. How are they to distinguish between the man who has lost his ticket and the man who never had one ? SHOCKING ACCIDENT.—EarIy on Tuesday morning week. two colliers and a boy came to the new pit at Stavely Woodthorpe, noar Chesterfield, In order to proceed to work. The poor fellows, observing the corve suspended over the shaft, thought it was ready for them to get in and go down ; but the rope being what is termed « out of gear," they were precipitated to the bottom, a depth of 270 feet, and the rope being loose fell down upon them. One man had his leg broken in wo places ; the other a leg and an arm ; the boy was also injured in an e9ually serious manner. From tho dreafifi4l 07 they iqe smashed, it is hardly expected they can recover.--o4cager PRICES OF CANAL,DOCh.,ASSUR ANCE COMPANY SHARES tsar. Sce. LONDON, TUESDAY, NOV. 26.
