TEE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 30 1344. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON, &c.) MITIIDER.—A?tied Edwards, aged twenty-four, de scribed in the calendar as an oilman, was indicted for the wilful murder of Jane Gregory, " an unfortunate girl," by administering to her a certain poison. Mr. Montague Chambers and Mr. Doane attended for the prosecution ; Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Parry were retained for the defence. Mr. CHAMBERS stated the case to the jury, and then called witnesses. Mary Greene, 2, New-court, Nichol-street, Bethnal green, knew the deceased, who lived at No. 3, in the same court. She was a woman of the town. The pri soner was in the habit of visiting Jane Gregory, at her lodgings. I remember, on the night of the 19th Sep tember, seeing the prisoner with the deceased in her room. Jane called me in, and I saw the prisoner at the fire smoking his pipe, a n d th e d ecease d sitting by him. They were both sober. I saw a quart pot on the table, with some beer in it, and I was asked to take some by deceased and did so. She also drank a little of it, but the prisoner did not. There was also a long necked black bottle and a cup upon the table. This was about eight o'clock at night, and there was no light in the room. I could not see whether there was anything in the bottle or the cup. I asked what was in the bottle, and she said only some cateup. She did not say where she got it. She did not say where it came from before the prisoner. I went away and came back a second time with a light. The bottle I could then perceive was about half full of liquid. There appeared to be seine in the teacup also of a dark colour. She asked me to go out with her when Alfred was gone. I said, if not too long. I did go with her. I then went away and put my bonnet and shawl on. I went to the door and called Jane. Alfred was there then. In a short time I went in. Jane was putting On her bonnet, and he was sitting by•the fire. I said, "Jane, I can't go with you, it's ten o'clock." The young man said, " No, it's not so late." We went down stairs then, but first the young man put the bottle in his pocket, and the cup was put in the cupboard. We went as far as Cock-lane, and there we parted. He said, " Good night, Jane," and she said, " Good night, Alfred," and he kissed and shook hands with her. When he was running away she • called after him, " Alfred, what time shall I see you to morrow." He said, "Stop till to-morrow cornea, and tell you." The deceased and I then went round by Hoxton, and to the Britannia, and while there she com plained of sickness. That was in about half an hour after parting with Alfred. She appeared to spit a very little like water. I left her when she went into the thea trical room at the Britannia, and I came home. It was then about twenty minutes to eleven. I sew her again next morning after ten o'clock. Baron AeDerisoN—Did she complain of pain before you left her that night ? Witness—Yes ; she complained of pain in the stomach. I saw her about a quarter after ten next morning. She appeared to be dying. She spoke sensibly but low. Her hands seemed spent and quite black. Her face was as black as her hands. I took her hand ; it felt cold and I could not open the fingers. She said lam dying. I said, Jane what have you been drinking ? She replied nothing but the brandy Alfred gave her. I saw Sarah Russell in the room and sent her for deceased's brother. The prisoner then came in and said to her " What's the matter ?" She said "Alfred, Alfred, how bad I am. lam dying." He said, "What hale you been drink ing?" She replied " Nothing, but the brandy bitters you gave me last night." He coloured up very much and said nothing. I left him then with Charlotte Scott and the deceased. When I re turned, the prisoner was gone. The doctor came and advised her to go to the hospital. On the Tuesday before the prisoner and deceased had a few words. I was in my own room, but when he was gone, she came down to me crying. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—I knew the de ceased about nine months. She walked the streets. She was admitted, without paying, into the Britannia, where there was music and dancing, and liquors were sold. She had the small-pox about three months before, but had recovered about three weeks before. I did not see medi cine bottles about her room. I did see some quicksilver on the mantel-piece, but I did not know what it was till the policeman told me. I never knew of her having any disease except the smallpox. Sarah Ketteridge examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—I am married, and on Thursday the 29th September, was at Nichol-street, Bethnal-green. On that night, between eleven and twelve, I met the deceased, Jane Gregory, in Shoreditch. She complained a great deal and vomited, but I could not see what it was. She was retching for five minutes. She drank some cold water. When I left her near home it was past one o'clock. Some severe observations were here made by the Learned Judge, and coincided in by Counsel, as to the culpability of tradesmen in offering a premium to vice by admitting unfortunate females free to public places of entertainment. Harriet Church—The deceased occupied a room in my house. She was often visited by the prisoner.

The brother afterwards gave mo the b Gray's Inn-lane, and at length one of them, Baron ALDARSON said that in his opinion the case was decided, when the fact of others drinking the same liquid, without sustaining any injury, was shown to the Court. The unfortunate girls vicious 1* had no doubt accelerated a crisis which was certain, in every case, at no very distant day. NEW COURT The Court commenced business this morning by tak ing those cases upon the calendar which were connected with uttering base coin, and other offences against her Majesty's Mint, of which there was an unusually large number. The following are the names of those who stool in dicted :—T. TVilson, S. Wilson, Ellen Daly, Martha Daly, George Shea, and William Payne. The facts elicited in each case by the evidence were of the ordinary nature developed in cases of smashing. In the case of T. Wilson the circumstances were more aggravated than those of his fellow-prisoners, having at tempted to pass for a half-sovereign a good sixpence, which he had gilt over in such a manner as to render a detection of the fraud almost impossible, except to thQ most experienced eye. Ile had also violently assaulted the prosecutor and the police when endeavouring to take him into custody. Mr. Ellis appeared for the prosecution, and all the prisoners were undefended. The jury having returned a verdict of Guilty against all the prisoners excepting Ellen Daly and Martha Daly, The Learned CoSISIoN SERGEANT, in passing sentence, said he was sorry to perceive the progress which "smash ing" was latterly making. The most dangerous mode adopted by the present " smashers," who began first with copper, then with silver, and ended with gold, was that of passing gilt sixpences for sovereigns, and he hoped those whose province it was to put the public on their guard would make this system of fraud generally known. The COURT then sentenced T. Wilson to 18 months' imprisonment, with hard labour; and each of the other convicted prisoners to nine months' imprisonment, with hard labour. At the termination of these trials (twelve o'clock) the Grand Jury entered the Court, and having informed the Learned Judge that they had disposed of all the bills before them, he returned them thanks fur their atten tion and expedition, after which they were discharged. A well-dressed and gentlemanly young man was placed at the bar, upon an indictment charging him with steal ing various ar ti c l es , t h e property of John West. It appeared that the prisoner had taken furnished lodgings from the prosecutor, from which ho absconded in two days after, taking with ;him several articles of wearing apparel, the property of the prosecutor and other lodgers. Several other cases of a similar nature having been established against the prisoner, the j ur y re t urne d a ver dict of G u ilty, an d the Court sentenced him to 12 months' imprisonment, with hard labour. THE LATE EXTENSIVE SWINDLING CASES.—Samuel Edge, who was tried yesterday in this Court upon seve ral indictments charging him with swindling a vast num ber of tradesmen, in conjunction with three persons named Henry Miller, Sarah Denver, and Charlotte Edge, the former of whom was sentenced to transportation, was again placed at the bar this morning, to receive judgment. The COMMON SERGEANT, in passing sentence, said he had consulted the several Judges sitting at the Central Criminal Court, and neither he nor they, after a careful perusal of the evidence, could entertain a doubt but he was one of a most daring gang of swindlers, who lived by plundering honest tradesmen. However, as he was not proved to have been so deeply involved as the other prisoners, the Coart would show him more mercy, and only sentence him to 18 months' imprisonment in the House of Correction, with hard labour. which I gave to Dr. Leeson]. I made a postmortem exa mination of the body, and the stomach was inflamed with small red spots, particularly at the lower extremity. When the body was afterwards exhumed, I took the kidneys and liver out, and gave them, with the stomach, to Dr. Loesom. George Roper, student of Guy's Hospital—Received two bottles and the stomach, which I sealed up and gave to a boy to deliver to Dr. Leesom, of St. Thomas's Hospital. The delivery of the package and bottles to Dr. Leesom was proved. Dr. Smith recalled, and examined by Mr. BALLAN TINE—The kidneys were not discoloured. By Mr. CHAMBERS—The gums were not discoloured. Dr. Leesom, Physician of St. Thomas's Hospital, and Lecturer on Chemistry, declared the general effects of poison on the system as a contracted position, great sen sation of thirst, rigidity of the limbs, &c., and accom panied by great pain. These sensations could be pro duced by a lead poison, in most of its preparations. In the present case he observed the stomach in an inflamed state at the upper extremity, and a trifling infiamation at the lower part. The coats of the stomach were partially congested, which was not usual with that particular poison. On analysing the stomach, he found a portion of lead therein, weighing 1 gr. and 1 dwt. The quantity of water used in boiling was somewhere about two gallons, which would dissolve a still greater quantity of lead than that remain ing after the analysis. On testing the contents of the bottle in deceased's room, I found it to contain ab• solute alcohol, in the proportion of two to one. It con tained no metallic compound whatever. There was a sediment at the bottom, which contained chalk, and on applying the tests for mercury and lead, found neither in any quantity sufficient to weigh them. The Learned Jupos) thought the case need not go any further, and, on Mr. Clarkson's assent to the opinion, the jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The unfortunate prisoner burst into tears, and for some time was apparently insensible to what was passing around him. Downey, seemed to be struck with admiration at a piece of machinery in the window of an optical instrument milker. He called his companions to admire the article, and whilst they were screening him, he was cutting away the glass, and succeeded in removing a large piece ; the alarm was just then given, and they were secured. They were well stowed with hosiery and hard ware, which bore the shop marks, and even with pieces of beef and pork. Downey, who looked as broad as a Dutchman, on ex amination turned out to have four coats on him. The prisoners, who are all well known to the police as a portion of a gang who are the terror of the shop keepers of Clerkenwell, were sentened each to a month's imprisonment. - UNION-HALL. On Thursday Miss Elizabeth Forbes, of Camden-villa, Peckham, was summoned for refusing to deliver up the possession of a casket of jewels and some articles of household furniture, the property of Mr. W. C. Richards, of Langton -place. Vassall-road, Camberwell. The complainant stated that a short time since he was in partnership with Mr. Forbes, at which period he was paying hie addresses to his daughter, and they were to have been married, the banes having been put up for that purpose. In August last the complainant, having occasion to leave town for Paris, gave Mrs. Forbes 181., to purchase some furniture for the house intended for his bride, and while in Paris his mother gave him a casket of jewels to present to his wife on his wedding day. On his return from Paris he found the furniture had been bought agreeably to his wishes, and having exhibited the jewels to Miss Forbes she was much pleased with their brilliancy, and requested him to let her have them to show to a young lady, her cousin. Complainant could not refuse so reasonable a request, but circumstances having since occurred to break off the match between them, he of course applied for the restitution of the jewels and also the furniture, but he met with a refusal, and was therefore compelled to have recourse to the present pro ceedings to compel her to deliver up his property. The defendant's sol;eitor said that the jewels and also the money for the 'urniture were the spontaneous gift of the complainant ) his client, and he therefore did not see that it was compulsory on her part to deliver up the possession, although the match was broken off be tween the parties. The solicitor then proceeded to cross examiae the complainant with a view to show that the casket of jewels was given to him by his mother for the express purpose of presenting to Miss Elizabeth Forbes, and that with respect to the articles of furniture he had also made the young lady a present of 181. The complainant, however, said in answer that his mother, who resided in the French capital, was not even acquainted with Miss Forbes, and that what she said on giving him the casket of jewels was, " These jewels are family relics, and I give them to you to present to your wife on your wedding day." Now he could positively swear he had not given the defendant the jewels, but nierely lent them to show her cousin, and that he ex pected she would have restored them afterwards. He admitted that had they been married he would have given them to her. The defendant, however, contradicted the statement, and declared that they were given to her as a gift, and as she was not the cause of the breaking off of the intended nuptial ceremony, she did not see what right the complainant had now to demand a restoration of them. After a great deal of discussion pro and con., Mr. COTTINGHAM, addressing the young lady's friends, who were present, advised them, at all events, to deliver up to the complainant the articles of furniture named in the summons, and that, with respect to the casket of jewels, the possession of them might be retained by her until the complainant's mother was written to on the sub ject, to ascertain whether they were given to her son fur the purpose of presenting to the young lady, to whom he was paying his addresses at the time. The summons was therefore ordered to stand open until that information was obtained, and the parties left the court. THAMES POLICE. Captain Hew Burn, the master of the ship Himalaya, in the South West India Dock, was brought before Mr. Ballantine, charged under the 3d and 6th William IV., c. 19, sec. 45, commonly called Sir James Graham's Act, with having " wilfully and wrongfully abandoned" a sea man named George Robert Rowe, one of his crew, at Port Nelson, New Zealand. Mr. Biegood, solicitor, of Carey-street, stated the case on the part of the father and friends of the seaman, who, he said, were highly respectable, and sought redress for one of the most grievous injuries that could be inflicted. The seaman, Rowe, contrary to the advice of his father, who was in a situation to maintain him in comfort. joined the ship in August, 1843, and she sailed on the 25th of that month on a voyage to New Zealand and other places, and was to recive 21. 10s. per month, his name being entered on the articles. The ship had recently re turned without the young man, and on application to the captain respecting him, he gave no satisfactory rea sons for his abandonment, and was unable to produce any certificate of the functionaries at Nelson that the seaman had disappeared or deserted, and could not be brought back, which he was bound to obtain by the 42d section of the Act. The 42d section declared that, with the exception of entering into his Majesty's naval service, "no person of the crew shall be discharged, either with or without his consent, at any place abroad, unless with the sanction of a public func tionary, where such functionary can be found." If it was proposed to discharge any of the crew at any of her Majesty's colonies or plantations, the master was bound to obtain " the previous sanction in writing of the go vernor, lieutenant-governor, secretary, or other officer, appoi cued by the Government there." There were other claus, ts in the Act for the protection of seamen, and to guard. against their being abandoned during a ♦oyage at the c aprice of the commander, while the clause impos ing a punishment of fine and imprisonment, the 45th, recited that " great mischiefs have arisen from masters of mer chant ships leaving seamen in foreign parts, who have been thus reduced to distress, and thereby tempted to boa( Tee pirates, and otherwise misconduct themselves." The youth wrongfully left behind at Nelson might, at this ti,rne, be suffering all the horrors of starvation, or, perhap a, he was no more, and he called upon the Magis trate 14) put the law in force and send the case to the sessioe s. Mr. BALLANTINE said the defendant ought to have sent a boat for the youth, and that he had violated the Act or Parliament. lie ordered him to :find bail, him self in SOL, and two sureties in 401. each, to answer the charge :at the sessions. CRU. VETT TO A SEA APPRENTICE.—On Thursday Capt. 4-claer Whaley Owen, the master of the ship Fairy Queen, appeared before Mr. Ballantine, to answer a charge .af assaulting Edwin Davis, an apprentice, on the high seam, in a very brutal manner. The c omplainant, a well-behaved and intelligent lad, stated, tLtat on the 22d of June last he was ordered to wash the carpenter's shirts, and when he had done so the capts.in said they were not washed clean enough. He made answer that he had not shipped as an appren tice to wash shirts ; on which the captain ordered him on the poop, and rope's-ended him across his back and ahouldees until the Wood came. Ile had nothing on but his flanreel shirt and his blue shirt at the time, and his back we's sore far four or five days afterwards. He was repeatetily flogged bef o r e an d a f ter that ; and upon the 12th of July he cut some lanyards from the rowlocks of the gig in mistake, and the chief mate was ordered to flog him, and he was flogged with a nine-thread rope in a most unmerciful manner. James cobblestone, a seaman on board the Fairy Queen, asi'd he had been at sea fourteen years, and never saw so rawth rope's-ending in his life as on board the Fairy Queen. He saw Davis unmercifully flogged by tbe capt ain and mate. The poor boy rolled about while the mat e was flogging him, and ho " paid " him as hard as he w i.e able. The weals and bruises were as thick as his thui tab, and were fore and aft, and athwart his breast and his back. lie took upon himself to remonstrate with the. -captain, and say it was improper usage for the boy, and that he ought to obtain redress for the ill. usage, on which the captain said he knew who he had got to deal with., and reported that Mr. Ballantine, the Thames police magistrate, was a particular friend of his. Mr. BALLANTINE—I shall send you before a jury. You will find bail, yourself in 40L, and two sureties of 201. each., to answer the charge at the sessions. CORONERS' INQUESTS. THE ',ATV FATAL OCCURRENCE AT A MASQUERADE —On Thursday Mr. Payne, the City coroner, and a most respectable jury, assembled in the pupils' lecture-room of St. Thmaas's hospital, to investigate the cause of death of Mr. William Henry Slade, aged 23, the unfor tunate gentleman who lost his life in consequence of injuries received at a masquerade, at the Montpelier Tavern, Walworth, on the night of Monday last. Mr. Woollen, solicitor, of Bucklersbury, in whose establishm eat deceased was, attended to watch the pro ceedings ois the part of his friends. Rebecca Gatland was first sworn. She said she re sided at 24, Trafalgar-street, Walworth, and knew de ceased, whom she met on Monday night, or rather on Tuesday morning, about one o'clock, walking in the grounds of the Montpelier Tavern, Walworth. About ten miontes after she saw him he left her, and she then sa him ascending the stairs which lead to the ball room. Those stairs were outside the building, erected in the ground, and were composed of wood. There was a matt named Passmore at the top, thrusting people down by the shoulders as fast as they came up. Wit ness was thrust down by him, and as he was doing so she heard a crashing noise, and exclaimed, " My God, man I the bannisters are breaking." She got down as fast as she could, and then saw Mr. Slade with one foot on the top la n di ng , and the other on the top stair. In ins i nstant after she saw two or three of the balus trades of the gallery fall from the top landing, and im mediately some more, and then the body of deceased fell. Ellen Gatlin, of Cottage -place, East-street, Walworth, stated that sh e was standing by the side of deceased on the landing of the staircase at the time of the occur rence. There was a great rush of persons into the ball room, but the only one admitted was a tall man in full masquerade costume, and the man in custody was push in,; the people down stairs. Wh en t h e man in costume nt in, the man in custody went i n also. a minute after some man put his and through the door, which was half open, and shoved the people back. The landing was full when this took place, and the pressure of the people caused the railing to give way, and then deceased and another gentleman fell to the ground. She after wards saw the man in custody on the ground, and heard a man charge him with being the cause of the occur rence, to which he made no answer. She did not think the deceased was sober at the time. In her opinion the bannister was broken by the pressure of the people against it, when the man from the door pushed them. Mr. William Mundy, of No. 53, Bow-lane, Cheapside, printer, deposed that he acted as check-taker at the Montpelier T ave r n on M on d ay n i g ht l as t. At th e time of the occurrence there were about eight persons on the landing struggling to get in. That was as many as the landing would hold. The door was pushed open, by those outside, and then violently closed. The bannisters as well as the rails were gone about ten minutes before the occurrence. There were several persons inside when the door was forced back, and the pressure caused the deceased, and the other gentleman, Mr. King, to fall Over. The CORONER, at considerable length, summed up, and, after some deliberation, the jury returned a verdict f Accidental Death, expressing regret that there being nothing moving to the cause of death, they could not return a deocland. The inquiry lasted upwards of three hours. SurcrnE !mom POISON.—On Thursday afternoon, Mr. Baker, the Coroner, held a most lengthened inquiry at the Green Gate, Hackney-road, touching the death of Mrs. Louisa Wiuterborn, aged 40, the wife of Mr. John Winterborn, surgeon in the above road, who died from the effect of poison, under the following circumstances:— Mary Ann Irons stated that she had been servant to the deceased for the last year and a half, who appeared to live very happily with her husband. Her mind for the last six months had been rather desponding, as she thought, through losing her mother. On Monday morning the deceased got up about half-past seven ; and on witness coming down stairs she found her sick in the yard. Deceased kept retching very much dur ing the morning, refused to have any dinner, and in the course of the afternoon laid down on two pilkws in the sitting-room. D ecease d st ill cont i nued retch ing, and about eight o'clock in the evening Mr. Winterborn informed her that he feared his wife had taken poison, and requested her to take a note to Mr. West, a neighbouring surgeon, calling in his aid. The errand-boy was also forwarded to a Mr. Hale, sur geon, in Paul-street, Finsbury, requesting his immediate services. Mr. Hale arrived first, shortly before ten o'clock. Mr. West came after ten. The deceased died at four o'clock on the following morning. Mr. Hale, surgeon, of Paul -street, Finsbury, was then sworn, and stated that he visited the deceased at about half-past nine o'clock on Monday evening, after b.--ing requested to do so by Mr. Winterborn, who informed n him that she had taken poison, and that he had admi nistered to her some lime -water as an antidote. Witness asked him how he knew s h e h ad taken poison, and he 61' remarked that she had confessed to him that she had taken arsenic. Witness then inquired of her how much she had taken, and she replied about as much as would corer a sixpence. He then asked her where she got it from, and she answered from an old dirty bottle in the 321 ' surgery. He then showed h er a b ottle which contained , small particles of the poison in question, and which she said was the one she got it from. By the CORONER—He was certain that she had stated 1. that she had taken it. The CORONER, after some unimportant discussion, commented upon the melancholy facts of the case, and the jury, after a brief deliberation, returned a verdict, 4 ergPe 31 " That the d ecease d had destroyed herself by poisoning, 4 p whilst in an unso un d s t ate o f mind.

We have had many of the passengers at our establishment just as we were going to press, and .% Pei from them we learn that the London train, which should reach Derby at ten min u t es p as t fi ve, h ad arrived at the I 1 L 85 0 . place where a short line of railway is in progress of per formation, connecting the North w i t h t h e London line i by a nearer cut, about a quarter of a mile from the Derby station, and were proceeding at a slow pace, when, from S e • r l the points not being properly laid, th e t ra i n got on the 6 per new embankment. At present, we are informed C per that there is not more than twenty yards of rails ag 'l l 5 laid down on the new line, so that wh en t h e train got g 4 to the end, it was stopped by the gravel, which II luckily lay a considerable depth. The engine was buried in the earth-work, and several of the carriages were per c much broken by the sudden shock, but we do not hear I , 3 °' of any one being inj u r e d, further tha n th e f r i g h t they qt sustained.

DREADFUL CASE OF STABBING 5 1 Per A LIVERPOOL CAPTAIN ON THE HIGH al:rr SEAS. On Wednesday considerable sensation was created Il i here (Liverp oo l) by a rumour th a t C apta i n Launcelot 5 per Reed, the commander of the Sir Charles Napier, of St. f3i Stephen's, had been maliciously and dangerously stabbed 5 /, by one of his crew on th e hi g h seas . W regret to state lON F. that the rumour turned out to be correct. It appears that the Sir Charles Napier, a fine ship of 714 tons, new measurement, left St. Stephen's fur Liverpool on the F i l er 25th of last month, with a cargo of deals consigned to per tlie firm of David C annon , S on , an d C o., o f South Castle- 6 5 per street, in this town. Upon th e morn i ng of the 16th :Per instant she was ov er t a k en by a squall in lon. 26 W. The Per captain immediately ordered the men to take in sail, but per perceiving that one of the crew, Samuel Brown, was much more tardy in his movements than the urgency ~P ee ; of the case demanded, he gave the fellow a push, with 6 per a view of making him execute his work with greater ra- 117 e; pidity. Brown i ns t an tly ma d e a plunge at the captain e with something he held in his hand, which could not be IP distinguished in the grey of the morning, but which af terwards turned out to be a sheath-knife, one of those dangerous instruments in such common use among sea faring men. The captain gave him a blow in return, which threw him back against the long-boat, and then seized hold of him for the purpose of taking him aft and putting him in confinement. Whilst he was in the act of removing him, Brown several times endeavoured to stab him with the knife, but, fortunately, none of the stabs took effect. When, however, the captain bad suc ceeded in getting him as far as the mainmast, the fellow gave him a dreadful stab in the abdomen. The captain seems at this moment, and not before, to have been con scious of the deadly instrument with which he was as sailed, and of the imminent danger he was running by putting himself within arm's length o f suc h a scoundrel, for he called out to the mate that he was murdered. The mate and several of the hands ran to his assistance; and, about this period, Mr. Porter, jun., the supercargo, and son of the owner of the vessel, Mr. William Porter, of St. Stephen's, ran on deck and saw them removing the captain into the cabin. Mr. Porter had the captain's clothes immediately taken off, and then discovered that a great portion of his bowels were protruding through the wound in the abdomen. The wound was then in cised, the bowels were put back, and the wound was sewed up and dressed. It was then found that the cap tain had received two other stabs a little below the left 2/ .. shoulder-blade, and that there were no fewer than IL eleven cuts made with the knife in the pea jacket he per was wearing at the time the murderous assault was com mitted. Those cuts had evidently been given whilst he 19. ~ s p: was conveying Brown aft, a n d w h en so many ineffectual ;,' pc „. attempts were made by th e f e ll ow to plunge the knife in ty4 pc some part of his body. Since then, the captain lay in !I:T• such a state as to be incap a bl e o f being removed from O L P the cabin floor, and has been suffering the most excru elating torture. Brown was placed in irons on the P er instant, and kept closely confined in the store-room. The ship arrived in the Mersey about half-past eleven „, Pe o'clock yesterday, and upon casting anchor in the river LE . off the Clarence Dock, the captain was conveyed ashore in a steamboat, and has been placed under medical care. Brown was taken into custody by constable foe ; Greaves, and lodged in Bridewell. He will, in all pro bability, be brought before Mr. Rushton to--day, and ordered to be remanded until such ,time as the captain 364 d may be able to appear against him, if that period shall w 1 ,1 7; ever arrive, which, und er t h e dangerous circumstances "i of his case, is extremely doubtful. The captain is a married man, only twenty-n;ne years of age, and be longs to Liverpool. His sister formerly kept a public- It. house here, known by the name of the Lighthouse. It Brown is twenty-four years of age, and shipped from St. John's, New Brunswick. It was reported he was an American, but we understand that this is not the case, 15 Pe i : and that he is a B r i t i sh subject.—Gore's Advertiser of Pe yesterday. lk 11. 11.

L. Gower, Esq., presided. The secretary IN ad the report of the Directors, from which it appeared that the business of the railway was proceeding in a very satisfactory manner. The income was not only sufficient to pay the interest of borrowed capital, but left a small surplus. Great benefit was expected to arise to this Company from the establishment of the West Cornwall Railway. The Directors, under this impression, had matured an agreement between this Company and the West Cornwall Railway Committee, subject to the ap proval of the meeting. The solicitor to the Ilayle Rail way Company read the draft agreement, from which it appeared that this Company was to guaranree a sum of four per cent. per annum to the other Company, by way of a lease of the West Cornwall Railway, the cost of which was estimated at 180,0001 Mr. L. Vigers entered at some length into the great advantages which would accrue to the Ilayle Railway Proprietors by this agree ment, by which they would have a large surplus to be divided, after the payment of the four per cent. to the other Company —the estimated revenue being about 60,0001. After some discussion, the report of the Di rectors and the draft agreement was received and adopted. Three Directors were then elected, when a vote c,f thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the meeting adjourned. 2/. 21. /per 44 11.
