James Coppock, 3, Cleveland-row, St. James's John Bell, 2t, Craven-street, Strand Thomas steed Watson, Wisbech The object of this Company is to afford to the town and port of Wisbech, the centre of the rich agricultural district of the Isle of Ely, the benefit of that communication by railway of which it is now en tirely destitute. This will be effected by the construction of a railway to commence at or near the March station of the Ely and Peterborough Deviation line, proceeding thence to Wisbech, and thence to Sutton St. Mary, there forming a junction with either the East Coast or Grand Union Railway, or any other railway completing the communication to Lin colnshire, which may obtain the sanction of the Legislature. A direct communication will thus be formed between the Metropolis, the Midland, the Eastern, and the Manufacturing Counties. The districts embraced by this undertaking are populous, and have a very considerable local traffic, the population of Wisbech, St. Peter alone, exceeding 10,000. The quantity of wheat sold in the market at Wisbech weekly averages .5,000 quarters, and the arrivals of wheat from the port of Wisbech have in many instances been known very materially to affect the market in Mark-lane ; in addition to which there are extensive sales of other grain, flour, seed, wool, cattle, fruit, and potatoes, the whole of which is exported to the consuming markets ; the imports consisting of coals, timber, oilcakes, bale goods, slates, sand, lime, and general merchandise. The return of the Port dues for 1844 exhibits 115,395 tons, and these dues arc rapidly in creasing in amount. ♦ great portion of the merchandise must pass along this line, and cannot fail of yielding a productive revenue. The length of line is about twenty miles, and passes through a country having an even and solid surface ; thus, with all the advan tages of water and land carriage of materials, affording facilities which will render the works inexpensive, and insure their early com pletion. Added to these advantages, the line will form an integral portion of the main trunk line with the shortest and most diret route between Hull and London. By its connexion with the Ely and Peterborough Railway at March, a transit will be afforded through the Peterborough branch of the London and Birmingham to Bristol, and the south west of England,and through the Syston branch of the midlands, the north west of England, with Liverpool, Wales, and Ire land. will also be placed in immediate connexion with Wisbech and its locality. Another important feature In this undertaking is, that the serious Inconvenience felt by every class during severe winters, from the river Nene being blocked with ice at Wisbech (causing a total stag nation of the usual commerce, whilst the warehouses may be over loaded with corn,' and the price of coals increased threefold, to the great distress - and misery of the poorer classes), will, by this railway, be entirely obviated. The survey has been completed, and application will be made for an Act in the ensuing session of Parliament. A large reserve of shares having been made for existing companies with which the pro posed line will be united, a limited number only are at the disposal of the Directors. , Applications for shares in the usual form, accompanied by a refer ence to a Banker or one of the Provisional Committee, may be made to the respective Solicitors JAMES COPPOCK, 3, Cleveland-row.

It appears he was going to his offices on the outside of one of Brewer's omnibuses from Notting-hill, when as it was passing the end of Catherine-street. Strand, one of the fore-wheels came off, and he was thrown from the top of the omnibus on to his head. He was immediately picked up and conveyed to Charing-crws Hospital, when it was found that he had received a compound fracture of the leg, but not of such a nature as to make ampu tation necessary. He is also much injured on other parts of his body. CORONER'S INQUEST.—SUICIDE THROUGH FEAR or PROSECUTION FOR Bleastr.—Yesterday Mr. Baker held an inquest at the City of Norwich, Wentworth-street, Spital fields, on view of the body of Thomas Richards, aged ,36 years, a waiter. Elizabeth Richards deposed that deceased had married her on the Bth November last, at that time having another wife alive, of which she was unaware. About two months after the marriage deceased's first wife disco vered his residence, and caused him to be apprehended and taken before a magistrate ; but, in consequence of legal proof of the first rnarraige being wanting and the absence of the wit ness, she having gone out of the way to avoid appearing against him, deceased was discharged upon bail, to answer any further charge which might be brought against him, should his first wife obtain satisfactory testimony in sup port of her accusation. Subsequently deceased had several interviews with his first wife, whom he wished to forgive him and take him back to live with her, which she refused to do. He became very desponding, and latferly feared, in conse quence of witness having returned to live with him, that his former wife would renew her charge and procure him to be committed to take his trial for bigamy. This had preyed much upon his mind. On Saturday night he returned home to his lodgings about twelve o'clock, but did not go to bed, a, when witness awoke in the morning she found him suspended to the bedrail by an old shawl. Mr. Protberoc, a surgeon, was sent for, but life was quite extinct. Verdict—Temporary derangement. SHOCKING ACCIDENT DURING THE FIRE IN ALDER.MANBURY.—During the raging of the fire in Alder manbury, i n Monday night last, a young man named Stephen Cowlick, 27 years of age, was on his way home, and had reached the church of St. Mary the Virgin, in Altlertnan bury, when, in order to avoid the crowd, he essayed to enter the church-yard, by climbing over the iron spikes. Id at tempting this, however, he missed his footing, and fell heavily upon the spikes, one of which entered the thick part of his right thigh, and he became literally impaled. He was, with some difficulty, removed and conveyed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where he remains in great agony. Cotl•it F. v. IVETIIERELI..—The defendant in this revolting ca.c has been represented, and is supposed by many to be the brother of Sir Charles Wetherell, the ex-Attorney- General. This, however, is not the fact. The rev. delin quent is not at all related to the learned and eccentric knight, but is the son of a builder of the same name, who some time ago can led on that business in the vicinity of Kensington. He is at present an inmate of the Queen's Bench Prison, at the suit of his son •in-law, Mr. Cooke, for no less a sum than 14,0001., but was present at the trial on Friday last, on a "day rule," being anxious, as it was stated, to afford his counsel his personal assistance and instruetion in the cross-examination of the witnesses called against him. At the adjournment of the Court, however, he returned to his farmer quarters, and did not make his appearance afterwards. Er t - tic - r OF TOO SUDDEN REFORM.—Yesterday Mr. Bedford held an inquest at the Fountain, New -street, Golden- square, on the body of John Stephens, aged 70, of No. bin the above street, pianoforte maker. Deceased had been 40 years in the employment of the Messrs. Stoddart, and was formerly a robust and healthy man, and a very free liver. Latterly lie suddenly changed to a system of abstemiousness, and became pale and sickly and subject to fits. lie was seen alive on Friday evening. in the street, when be said jokingly that he had just had " his half gall on ," meaning half a pint of fourrnny ale, to which he limited himself. About three o'clock on the following morning he was seized with a fit which speedily proved fatal. Verdict—" Natural death."

A case has occurred at Northfleet, in Kent, of that character which so frequently enlists the sympathies, and not seldom the judgment, of the public against the existing law for the relief of the poor. There can de volve upon the Legislature and Government of a great ,ountry like this no duty more sacred, and certainly few more difficult, than that of assessing and adminis tering the funds required for the maintenance of that , ast proportion of the pauper community, who are entitled by law and by the absolutely helpless nature of heir condition to be the recipients of this national con tribution. In considering the numberless allegations of cruelty, oppression, neglect, and mismanagement which !Ire constantly preferred against local boards of guardians and relieving-otlicer.z, we are bound to bear in mind the in vidious nature of the duties they have to perform, and of the oifficulties which beset even the most honest and upright •lotermination faithfully to administer its provisions. To ascertain in each case bow far it comes up to the statutable test of utter destitution—to distinguish aright between the contrived or voluntary pauperism of the able-bodied labourer, who will not work when he can obtain employment, and the at least equal pauperism of the well-disposed and industrious labourer who cannot obtain that employment, which he anxiously seeks in every possible direction—is, beyond all doubt, a work of much greater perplexity than those who have never essayed it probably imagiue. In like manner, much allowance should be made to the same authorities and officers for the difficulties they experience in distinguish ing between the cases in which they will be justified in administering wines and other restoratives, such as medical or surgical cases of emergency and danger re quire, and those in which they may feel, as the stewards of the rate-payers, that they would not be justified in granting the issue of such costly indulgences. Giving, however, their full weight to such considerations as these, there are other circumstances, too frequently the matter of such painful disclosures as we allude to, as to which there can be no reasonable perplexity, or doubt, or difficulty on the minds of guardians, churchwardens, and medical and relieving officers, honestly intending to discharge the duties devolved upon them in their several capacities. A case of this unquestionable and melancholy cha racter forms the subject of the inquest now being held before Mr. CARTTAR, one of the Coroners for the county of Kent, on the body of JOHN TUCKWELL, a labourer and a pauper, but not a pauper within the union house, or receiving parish relief in money, who appears to have perished from the want of ordinary medical assistance—and so far as regards some of the parties implicated in the transaction, we must say from the want of all ordinary feelings of human sympathy. It appeared from the evidence gone into, that the de ceased had comedown to that part of the county, a few days before, a fine robust young man of eight-and twenty, in quest of employmer.t in his business of a bricklayer. Thepoor woman, at whose house he had taken up his lodgings, applied to the overseer, and informing him that TuciovELL was dangerously ill and confined to his bed, induced this officer to visit the sick man, whom he found in a state of great exhaustion, and suffering under a formidable eruption. The landlady explained to him that the man wanted stimulants, up .n which the relieving officer observed (poor TUCKWELL having in formed him, in the course of their interview, that, when well and at work, he could e irn five shillings a day) that he could not comply with her request, the Poor-law Commissioners, in such a case, having taken all power out of his hands to administer any such assistance. Subsequently, the assistant-overseer, Mr. lltociss, having seen the man, addressed an order to the medical officer to attend the poor man without delay. The medical officer, a Mr. WHITcoMB, and a Mr. Wow), one of the poor-law guardians, appear to have taken grave offence at this act of Mr. Ilic.orsTs's, as a most unseasonable, or, at any rate, unwarrantable act of common humanity. The medical officer stated, on his examination by the Coroner, that the eruption which the man was labouring under he immediately concluded to be the small-pox, for which he sent him a powder, desiring the landlady to give the patient some arrowroot and gruel from time to time, and he id not visit him for some days after. He declared his opinion at that time that the man had taken the disease favourably, but admitted that the disease was approach ing its crisis. He only visited him a second time, on being instructed by the overseer, whom he met at some other part of the Union district, that TUCKWELL was very dangerously ill ; so fast sinking, indeed, under the ex treme debility induced by the virulence of the disease and the want of stimulants, that this Mr. Wurreomn himself, who seems, by the way, to have formed a most erroneous estimate of the intensity of the disorder and the character of its " crisis," immediately directed wine and brandy-and-water to be administered. The poor man died, however, for the relief seems to-have come too late. Now, we must designate the evidence given by Mr. WHITCOMB as marked by a want of candour and a want of feeling such as we shoal be sorry to believe are often to be found in gentlemen, members of his profession, and occupying such situa tions. It is clear, from his own statement, that his sympathies are occasional only, and technical. He says that—" had the case been brought under his notice in the proper manner—that is, by an order of the Relieving Officer—he should certainly have felt it his duty to visit the man the day after his first visit." And, to be sure, how could a practitioner of Mr. WHITCOMB'S eminence be expected to visit a miserable wretch, mortally struck with a terrible disease, upon an order emanating from no higher or more dignified authority than an assistant overseer ? Accordingly, he took care to let the jury understand that "he is not compelled to visit any sick upon an overseer's order more than once, even in cases of emergency." The assistant overseer, Mr. Inconss, who, on the representation of the land lady, had given this order, was afterwards told by Mr. Wool), the poor-law guardian, and SIDDILL, the reliev ing officer, that he had no business to have given that order, and must pay the expenses of the medical atten dant and the medicines himself. From the testimony of HEMMINGS, the cousin, and fellow-lodger of the de ceased, it is clear that Mr. WHITCOMB was excessively annoyed at being twice applied to (and applied to in vain) by linsimistos to visit TUCKWELL before he went to him under the instructions of the proper officer. Mr. WOOD , the poor. law guardian, was extremely wroth at th e evidence of BELTS, which contained, he said, not a word of truth. But inasmuch as between Mr. WHITCOMB,— who deposed that he made a report of this case on the night of his first visit to TUCKWELL. .Iso Cif we understand him) another after his second visit to the Rochester Board of Guardians,—and Mr. WOOD, those reports were not forthcoming, the Coro ner very properly adjourned the inquest to a future day, in order to give time for the production of those impor taint documents, which we must suppose to be in exist ence, for the further information of the jury; and also to have the opportunity cf examining all parties whom soever who might have it in their power to throw any light upon this painful case. We are glad to observe, that on the part of the Poor-law Commissioners an offi cer has been deputed to watch these proceedings. They owe it to their own station and authority, and still more to public opinion, to make a most searching examination into all the facts of the case, and we trust that should ulterior proceedings against any parties be rendered necessary by the result of the inquest, the Commis. sioners will not leave us to complain of any indisposition on their part promptly to adopt them. The following letter from Halberstadt furnishes fur ther particulars relating to the preaching of Able Ronge " Halberstadt, Aug. 10. "On Wednesday afternoon Abbe Ronge, who has nume rous partisans in this place, delivered his first sermon at Halberstadt, in the open air, and in the yard of the cathedral, before several thousand persons of every age and sex. " As soon as he had pronounced the last words of his sermon, which were these,—' Yes, brethren, Rome ought to fall, and she will fall !' a rustling noise was heard among the por tion of the audience nearest the pulpit, when a salesman, well known for the fervour of his religious belief, rushed forward after Abbe Ronge, who had just left the pulpit, and endeavoured to throw a stone at him. The per sons who were near this fanatic held him back and prevented him realising his culpable intention ; but at the same instant a young man struck, with a heavy stick, a violent blow upon the back of Abbe Ronge, who immediately fell on the ground. The Abbe got up and ran away, but soon afterwards was further ill-treated by several other men ; and it was only with great difficulty, and through the protection afforded him by a great number of his friends, that he succeeded in gaining the hotel he lodged at. " Some moments after a crowd of his partisans walked through the streets of the town, and threw stones at the windows of the houses they thought to be inhabited by Roman Catholics. The police put all their agents on foot to appease the tumult, but their efforts were useless ; the rioters breathed only rage and vengeance. The military were called out, same detachments of infantry and cavalry appeared, and after having ordered the rebels to retire, which was not obeyed, the troops charged them, and blood flowed in abundance. The German Catholics went in crowds to the Rue de la Digue, where dwelt the salesman who had endeavoured to throw a stone at Abbe Ronge • they barricaded themselves in thi s narrow street, and demolished from top to bottom the house of this individual. It was only then they separated, and that tranquillity was re-established in Halberstadt. " The number of the killed and wounded is not at present known ; that of the persons arrested is upwards of 150. The Royal Court of Magdeburg has instituted an inquiry into the affair, and will judge it when the inquiry has terminated." The Post Ainpt Gazette of Frankfort states, from Leipsic, the 13th, that the number of persons killed is nine, and the wounded from thirty to forty, and adds, that the municipal authorities, in order to prevent new excitement, had refused to allow the dead to be buried publicly. A Leipsic letter of the 14th, in the Universal German Gazette, has the following:— " The number of dead up to this time is fourteen. Lather's hymn, sung by the crowd, produced a deep sensation in the whole city. In addition to the infantry, we have new several battalions of cavalry. There is the best feeling here towards the King, but this is not the case as regards other members of the Royal Family. A meeting has taken place of 700 students and 2,000 citizens, in which it was declared that the murder of the citizens should be avenged, but only by legal means. It was resolved to send a deputation to the King, with an address of loyalty and devotedness. The following is the address of the Municipal Council to his Majesty Sire, we, in common with our fellow-citizens, friends of law and older, deeply regret the sad events which have occurred here. We declare respectfully, from a sense of duty toward! your Ma jesty, our fellow-citizens, and ourselves, that we are tne more grieved the Communal Guard was not employed to reestablish order, as it would have prevented the calamity which has fallen upon us. We supplicate your Majesty to order a rigid inquiry as to the conduct of all who took part in these events, on what ever side they may be. In this period of agitation our hope is in the wisdom and justice of your Majesty, and in your un failing solicitude for the welfare of the country. Your Ma jesty will deign to receive the expression of the devotedness of our city and of our unshaken " 'rho University has adopted measures to induce the students to abstain from taking part in any turbulent demonstration ; and the Municipal Council has ordered that all public places shall be closed at nine o'clock, and has issued a proclamation inviting masters of houses to keep their families within doors after ei;ht o'clock The rural guard are charged with the maintenance of order in the town. The Swiss journals state that the Chamber of Com merce at Geneva has received the postal treaty concluded between the Confederation and France relating to the cor respondence of Switzerland with France, Algeria, Eng land, and other countries whose letters pass through France. In virtue of this treaty, the inhabitants of Ge neva will have to pay for letters to the arrondissement of Gex only 10 centimes, the Geneva postage included ; fur those of the departments of the Ain and Jura 20c., instead of 40c. ; that of Lyons remains 40c. ; but that of Paris, Bayonne, Brest, the rest of France, and Algeria, is to be no more than 40c. ; that to England is to be 80c. Letters between Paris and Geneva may be franked at 40c. ; the present postage is lf. The treaty pro vides that in case of the postage within France being reduced to 20e., the Geneva letters shall be reduced to 30c., including the Geneva charge. Madrid papers of the 11th and 12th have been re ceived. They all comment on the order for thQ restitution of the Church property to the secular clergy, which is re garded by all parties as a retrograde step towards Rome and absolutism, and applauded or lamented accordingly. The Commandant-General of Malaga, CA9IINEIIO, has been dismissed. FRANCISCO FuLcosio has been named to replace him. According to the Espectdor, many officers in garrison in Madrid, bad been dismissed from their corps and ordered to take up their residence in various towns, thirty or forty leagues off, without any reason being assigned for such orders. A Madrid letter of the 11th informs us that the taxes are become more productive, and are more readily paid, and that the Minister has demanded an advance of 14 millions of real: from the bank of St. Ferdinand, with the certainty of its being covered by the receipts of October. The Three per Cents. closed at 31+ cash, 311 at 60 days-13,500,090 reals done ; the Five per Cents., 22 cash-3,000,00C reals done. We have received the Paris papers of Monday. A letter from Toulon appears in the Cow ier Francais, from which it appears that en the 11 th and 12th inst• several matches similar to those found at Marseilles were discovered in various parts of the arsenal. One of them was placed under a frigate which is en the stocks. La Reform does not hesitate to ascribe the origin of the Toulon fire, and of that which recently occurred at Algiers, to the ins t igation of perfide Albion. Dues it not strike these gentlemen that the late continuous rains which have de- stroyed the harvests in Poitou are also to be attributed to the instigation of perfide Albion ? The Conmerce says that the Duke DE MONTPENSIER has given up the intention of visiting Constantinople. It appears, says the Commerce-- "That the Prince has among his suite - several officers, na tives of Algeria, whom he intend, 'd to present to the Sultan. Chekih, on being informed of this fact, told M. Borqueney that such a proceeding would give displeasure to the Ottoman Go vernment, because if the Sultan was to receive those spahis as French officers, it would be implicitly recognising the right of France to the possession of Algeria. Baron Bourqueney, on receiving that intimation, immediately dispatched a messenger to the Prince, requesting him to postpone his visit to the capital of turkey." " lhe cordial understanding between the Ambas sadors of Great Britain and France," adds the Commerce, " so seriously compromised by the events of last year, is be• ginning to be re-established. This change is viewed with satisfaction by the reasonable men of both nations, and particu larly the merchants. Everybody feels that when those two representatives are at variance they are unable to watch over the interests of their respective countrymen, and lose all the influence they bad acquired in the country. Russia alone benefits by their disunion." The National has a long article on the subject of the cruelties practised by Marshal BUGEAUD towards the troops in Algiers. It is generally believed that ho is recalled, but many persons who ought to be well in formed on the subject doubt the truth of the report.

A frightful accident occurred on the Manchester and Leeds line last night. The Express train, which leaves Leeds at six o'clock, P.m., started with a powerful engine and two first-class carriages only. It proceeded at a very rapid rate, and about seven miles from Leeds it attained a very high speed. A witness of it, who lives close to the line, told me he never saw a train going so fast ; he thought it fifty miles an hour. The engine sprang from the rails, ran along the ground thirty yards, and then down an embankment of about forty feet. The engine was very much damaged, the first carriage shivered, and the next carriage much broken. All the passengers were horridly cut and shook. A lady and gentleman, and daughter, were taken to the infirmary, all horridly mangled. The stoker was much hurt. The engineer appeared to come off the best. I trust that this accident will call forth your able pen, to ene.eavour to put a stop to travelling above twenty five miles per hour on narrow gauge lines. Parliament must interfere, or we shall have murders upon a whole sale scale. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.-(THIS DAY.) LONDON, AUG. 20.—Wind this day at noon, W., fresh breezes and fine. DEAL, AUG.

CORN EXCHANGE WEDNESDAY. Fresh up ,only a moderate quantity of Wheat came to hand from our own counties coastwise, as well as by land carriage and sample ; yet the stands were rather heavily supplied with Monday's unsold parcels. Still, however, owing to the wet weather experienced yesterday, the fluctuating atmosphere of to-day, and the trifling [progress as yet made in the cutting of Wheat, the factors were firm, and, in some instances, would not sell except at a slight advance in the quotations. The amount of business actually passing was small. There was rather more inquiry for both free and bonded Wheats of foreign :growth, and prices ruled about stationary. The show of Barley was very small. The best grinding parcels were the turn higher, the value of other kinds being steadily supported. The Malt trade was rather dull, but no depression was submitted to in value. Oats, Beans, and Peas were steady, but in Flour next to nothing was doing. Flitur. -- gra I 3,37nak!!

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool were 3,000 to 4,000 bales, including 400 for export, and 300 on speculation. There was no change in prices.—For Shares the market was dull and heavy. The letters and papers by the Great Western were delivered this morning, and we perceive that Brother Jonathan " cal culates" on supplying us to some extent with his corn. The trade of the United States with Great Britain depends almost solely upon two circumstances : the activity of our manufacturing industry, and the state of the weather. With an active demand for our fabrics, we become more liberal customers for cotton and other important staples—with a deficient harvest we take more grain. Under any circum stances, therefore, the Americans should exhibit the most de cided disposition to make their tariff favourable to those to whom they owe so much. The West India private accounts bear out the favourable tenor of the advices given in another part of The Sun. The weather was good, the crops promised well, the labourers, if not working hard, were going on as steadily at least as hitherto, and there were important public improvements progressing in most of the colonies. The island of Barbadoes had at least been blessed with abundant showers. The Funds have been flat again to-day, not having re covered the decline of yesterday afternoon. Consols realise 9834 to 99 for present transfer, and are 99 for time. Exche quer-bills have been a little steadier at 50s. premium.

The Railway Shares are more dealt in to-day, and appear to be brought to sale rather in excess of the requirements of purchasers. There are a few exceptions, however, as our list will show. The flatness of some of the provincial markets is against the maintenance of prices here. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCIL. (From the Official List.) Bank Stock 21i% 211 3 per Cent.

The Learned COMMISSIONER proceeded to give judg ment on the bankrupt's application for a certificate ; be had carried on business as a scrivener, and was an at torney. The Learned Commissioner said the bankrupt had been for some years in a hopeless state of insol vency, and had borrowed money at a rate of interest nothing could justify. There had been an annual loss from 1823 to 1843, which had continued to ad vance, as from 1837 to 1843 it amounted to 38,0001. At the time of the bankruptcy he owed 116,0001., and liabilities, 81,0001. more. The assets have only realized about 5,0001, and v( ry little more was expected, so that after payment of the ex penses, the probability wa.4, that the dividend would be only Is. in the pound. Ihe bankrupt had altogether failed acting the part of an honest tradesman. In twenty years his payments for discounts amounted to 90,000/ The rate of discount ranged from 25 to 60 per cent., and most of the money was appropriated to his own use. The Learned Commissioner alluded to several cases of fraud,established against the bankrupt, particularly in representing that Lord Strathmore's estates were unen cumbered, obtaining bills from General Wyndham to the amount of 15,0001., which he got discounted a few days after at 40 per cent., and appropriated the money to his own use. Reviewing the circumstances, he was bound to refuse the certificate. O'CLOCK. RAILWAYS. PAID. PER SHARE. Aberdeen Bristol and Exeter Ditto New 2 ......

The first general meeting of the Shareholder. in this Company was held this day, at the Guildhall Coti . t:: House. The chair was taken shortly after one o'clock by Mr. Ferrcrs, chairman of the Company. The SECRETARY (Mr. Hemmings) read the report, which was to the effect that the Act of Incorporation had been obtained with comparatively little expense, the only difficulty having been to satisfy the Marquis of Aber corn that his property would not be damaged by the line. Sir John M'Neil had resigned the office of en gineer, and. Mr. Robert Stephenson had been appointed in his stead. Of the new lines proposed in Ireland the only one which would affect the interests of this Company was the Dublin and Enniskillen, which there was reason to hope would be sanctioned by Parliament next session. The works to Strabane and Newtown -Stewart would be shortly finished. A call of W. would be made in Octo ber next, and three more calls next year. Tho general account of receipts and disbursements showed a charge of 25,000/., in deposits of 21.105. per share on 10,000 shares. . , The Disbursements were— x ... Parliamentary Expenses Engineering Expenses 1,500 Salaries Total Leaving a balance of 20,0501.—(Hear, hear.) The SECRETARY then read also the report of the en gineers appointed to survey the line after the retirement of Sir John APNeil. These gentlemen suggested se veral departures from that engineer's plan, which could not be accomplished without application to Parliament. The report strongly urged the necessity of going on with the works with as little delay as possible, on the ground that there will, at no distant period, be a great rise in wages on account of the number of railways about to be undertaken in Ireland. The surveyors expressed their confidence that the line would be completed at a cost within the capital of the Company. The report was then unanimously adopted. A PROPRIETOR then moved a resolution, to the effect " That the thanks of the shareholders be given to the Directors for their attention and exertions in pro curing the Act of Parliament at so comparatively small an expense, and for the satisfactory report and statements which they had laid before this meeting of the proprietors." The resolution was seconded and carried unanimously, and with applause. The common seal of the Company was then put to the Register of Shareholders. A vote of thanks to the Chairman was carried in the same manner, and the meeting separated. The Gazelle of last night contains an Ordtr in Council. dated June 30, 1845, for the purpose of carrying into execution that part of the County Coroner a Act, which relat es to the division of counties into districts , within which the office of coroner is to be exercised. By the Act ce r t a i n con di t i ons are prescribed before this division can be made; and the county of Oxford having complied with these conditions, that county is accordingly divided into central, northern, western, and southern districts. The Gazette also contains an Order in Council, dated August 3, .exempting vessel s b e l ong i ng to t h e ki ng d o m of the Two Simile:, under 60 tons burden, from the necessity of taking pilots in all cases where it is not required of British vessels of the same tonnage. Notice is also given of a series of arrangements and regulations for the examination of Masters and Mates in the Merchant Service. THE FIRES AT QUEBEC.—The Lords of the Ad miralty have sent instructions to the officers of the Royal William Victualling yard, at Stonehouse, to deliver for the use of the sufferers by the fire at Quebec, 4,395 blankets, 100 blue jackets, 200 pairs of shoes, 190 flannel drawers, 200 pairs of worsted stockings, 200 flannel waistcoats, and 4 00 shirts. NiaMINIIMI IN RE CHAMBERS. His Hostoun then proceeded to give judgment in this case. The principal point was whether certain freehold property, amongst which was the Opera House, and pos sessed before the bankruptcy by James Chambers, was to be applied for the benefit of the joint creditors. The Learned Commissioner quoted a variety of cases in sup port of his judgment, that the mode of dealing with the property had been such as to show that it had been treated as partnership propesty—the bankers books went a considerable way to prove it. It was not inconsistent to declare it joint property under the bankruptcy, although in the House of Lords it had been decreed that it belonged to James Chambers—in that case it was a question between Chambers and Walters, but now it was a question as to the estate. lle founded his opinion on the principle that a trust might be created without writing, but proved by subsequent writings or facts. The property would therefore be applied for the joint estate. The Solicitor to the assignees said, that ultimately there would be a dividend of 15s. to 17s. in the pound. SECONDARIES.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) MARSHALL V. STEVENS. This was an action to recover compensation for damage done to premises of which the defendant, who is a brick layer, was lessee. The defendant allowed judgment to go by default. It appeared that the defendant had been on the pre mises, which were situate in Church-street, Deptford, fur nearly seven years, and received notice to quit at Midsummer last. On the premises being viewed, it appeared that a wall had been knocked down, another bad given way en masse from the foundation, and .was leaning nine inches out of the perpendicular, and the corners of an outhouse had been carried away, together with the gates, which had been forced off the hinges. All this damage was attributed to the careless manner in which the defendant's men had backed carts against the wall. The damages were estimated at 301. The de fendant had taken a quantity of materials to make good the repairs, but the plaintiff insisted upon pecuniary compensation. A witness was called who deposed that the "leaning" wall must be pulled down, and it would cost 101. to set it to rights, 51. tor the short wall, and 6/. for putting up the corners of the house. A question arose as to an admission of the rent being due ; the defendant's wife having, in the presence of her husband, promised to send the money. This was held to be good in law. The jury consulted for a long time, and asked whether they ought not to make an allowance for the decay of the premises. The walls were old, so that slight violence would cause the damage ; but one wall, at least, ought not to be charged for, if it could lean like the Tower of Pisa and not fall.—(Laughter.) The SECONDARY said the amount was entirely at the discretion of the jury on the evidence. The jury consulted a considerable time, and then gave a verdict for plaintiff, damages 101, rent 71. CRIMINAL COURT : -(THIS DAY.) OLD COUR!: (Before the Right Hon. the LORD MAYOR and Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) FORGERY.—Thomas Peat, aged 25, stated to be an engineer and cab proprietor, who stood remanded from last session, was placed at the bar on a charge of forgery. Mr. Bodkin was for the prosecution ; Mr. Ballantine for the prisoner. Mr. BODKIN detailed the case. lie would show by competent witnesses that the prisoner had been a groom in the service of Mr. Laitham, who had an account with the banking house of Robarts and Company. He would prove also that as early as the 16th of September, 1813, a bill of exchange for the sum of 1501. had been pre sented to the house of Robarts and Co., purporting to be drawn by a Mr. Smith, and accepted by Mr. Laitham. It was inclosed in a note, and the bankers having no suspicion, at once discounted it. On the 9th of March, 1844, another bill for the sum of 751. was similarly presented, and also discounted, the produce being paid to the person who presented it. It would not be in the power of the prosecutor to pro duce these bills, because, before they came to maturity, another bill of 3501 was discounted, the party receiving it withdrawieg the two previous bills of 150/. and 751. But on the 28th Septebber, 1844, another bill, being the fourth of the series, was presented and discounted in a similar unsuspicious manner, and he (Mr. Bodkin) should show that tte notes received on that occasion were changed at the Bank of England for gold, and a false name and address, in the handwriting of the prisoner, placed upon them. He should also show that a note for 501.—one of those paid at the bank—had been paid to a loan society by the prisoner. Having proved these facts, he thought the evidence would be sufficiently conclusive against the prisoner. Mr. Abraham Roberts, banker, was first called. Mr. Laitham had been a customer of their's for many years. On the 30th December a bill of exchange, purporting to be accepted by that gentleman, was presented and by his orders discounted. The bill was for 1501., and it was inclosed in a note, signed Richard Laitham, 65, King's road, Bayswater. Mr. George Henry Blackett, clerk nt Messrs. Ro harts, had given instructions to cash the bill presented on the 30th December, 1844. . Mr. Robert Morris, cashier, paid the money, 1501., in December last in three notes, one No. 11,504, 100/., dated 9th October ; one No. 60,554 for 401., dated the 7th May, and one for 101., numbered 15,486, and dated 3d October. Mr. Robertson, clerk in the issue department, Bank of England, had changed the notes mentioned by the last wiane:'• They were paid i❑ gold on the 30th December. He could identity the person who received the money. Mr. M`Donah:, manager of a loan society, in St. John street, Clerkenwell, nt:i frequent transactions with the prisoner, and was well ac c it ,:tinted with his handwriting. The bill was in the handwriting pf the prisoner, as was also the names on the back of the nois:s. . _ Mr. Henryi. ) ;;;, clerk to the last witneo, corroborated his employer's evidence. Mr. George Henry- Blackiit was recalled, and sated that a bill for 1501. was discounted on the 16th Sept., 1843, as also a bill for 75/. on the 9th March, 1844. The latter bill was paid in five 101. notes, Nos. 23,929 to 23,933 inclusive, and dated 3d February, and four 5/. notes, Nos. 44,239 to 44,342 inclusive, and dated the Ist February. Mr. M'Donald recalled and examined—ldentified the letters in which these bills were inclosed, as the hand writing of the prisoner. Mr. Pear was recalled to prove the same fact. Martin Saddler Thornton, clerk in the Bank of Eng land, had given gold for a 501. note on the 30th Septem ber, 1843. The name on the back was Peat. Richard John Sykes,clerk in the issue department, had changed three of the 101. notes, numbered 23,929, &c. Other clerks in the Bank of England proved the ex change of others of the notes received from Messrs. Ro berts, for gold. Mr. M'Donald was again recalled, to prove the hand writing on the back. The same witnesses were examined to prove the dis • counting of the 3501. bill on the 27th July, and the sig natures affixed to the notes, &c. Mr. Richard Laitham—The prisoner was in his ser vice some ten years ago. He kept an account with Messrs. Roberts at that time, as he did now, but he had never given the prisoner any cheques upon his bankers. He did draw upon them for his little expenses. (The witness was handed the bills and letters.) Be knew nothing of them, and had given no authority to any one to write such. Mr. Joseph Smith, Gray's Inn—llad been acquainted with ➢lr. Laitham for many 3 ears. He was not the drawer of the bills, and the handwriting was not his. He had never drawn a bill upon that gentleman in the course of his existence. John Forrester (the well-known officer)—lle, in com pany with his brother, bad taken the prisoner into cus• tody in t'addingtun. The addresses on the notes were false. Daniel Forrester said that when he took the prisoner Into custody, for uttering three forged bills, l►e answered, " How can they make out it's me ;" and when he (For rester) said that his name appeared on some of the notes, he replied, "That can't be." He was then taken into custody. The bills were put into court. This concluded the case for the prosecution. Mr. BALLANTINE then addressed the jury fur the de fence. He quite agreed with his Learned Friend who opened the case, that this indict►nent was of the must important character, as it atfected not only the prisoner at the bar, but the interests of the general public. He (ilr. Ballantine) would not, however, even it he could, exert any ingenuity in the defence ; he would rely upon the simple circumstances of the case ; and he could rely also with confidence upon a verdict of acquittal, as soon as the proper bearings of the case should have been exhibited to the gentlemen of the jury. And first, he would advert to the two m.sin features into which the matter resolved itself—he meant the handwriting on the bills and notes, and the passing of the single 50/. note by the prisoner. His Learned Friend had, however, adverted at great length ~...,•-•,, -,.. _.-....- Oats to the many cpporturities the yrisot,er service of Mr. Laithman, of stud nig relations with the imitkiog-tious,• of and the s)stein of business adored t. , " preposterous that a pang man like in'; life had been spent in twesn the tt354 stand—was it not ridiculous, he asked , s' young man so situated, should have not only with his master's banking lige mode of business pursued by the bankt And who were the witnesses to prove handwriting ? The manager of a loaa • clerk ; and, without urging motives tkmen, he would ask, how it was fin's l , k swear that the whole of these bills, and the notes, were written by the prisoner, ; jury), could, on personal examinatioa; ments, see that it was physically iinPt person, no matter how clever that iudl 1. to forge so ably so many different hands-iiii nesses4tad positively sworn that all was i prisoner. The second point, that ofp a ' sl did, he confessed, in the first blush, strik!,, ing, but the jury would find on examinaji, suspicious appearances were easily 'lee prisoner had, it was very true, passed all probability it had been received in business, fur even the witness from the ; 11 ' proved that his dealings in cabs were o, and could it now be asked by the pin for the defence should prove from whota a note some two years ago ? Was there t o tive evidence to show that this 11'0E 1 0' nestly come by ? Had they anything 1 101: or reckless expenditure on the part °A No. Was there a single attempt w.',l the young man with the person who bl produce of these bills ? No. Althn tig banking clerks had been called, not 0ne.,133 say that the prisoner was that man ; therefore a fair presumption that the Pitt(' cent of the charges in the indictment ? that the prisonei's cause was safe in? telatV jury, and he should not, therefore, tr further observations. Mr. Justice Wzotrrmast then summed u ,t s o The jury then, after half an hour's CI turned a verdict of Guilty. The Learned JUDGE, after a brief at)el the prisoner to transportation for life. d THE CALENDAIL—The second editiOnbibic dar, brought into Court this morning, 10 d tion of 27 prisoners, who may be classed. - I 1 for bigamy, 1 for burglary, 2 for utt i r o t lo 5 for cutting and wounding, 2 for eva h forgery, 10 for larceny, 2 fur manslaue lt misdemeanour.
