RAIL WA CORNWALL DIRECTCENTRAL.—COUNTY MEETING. BODMIN, Aun. 29.—The county meeting at Bodmin this day attracted the greatest attention, and drew crowds to the county town. Cornwall has long been desirous of participat ing in the benefits of railway communication, and the feeling of the county, as expressed by the inhabitants at various public meetings, has been decidedly in favour of a central line. Against this feeling the Great Western Company have hithe, to contended, and under their auspices the coast line was brought out, and pushed before Parliament, till, having in the recent session been forged through the Commons, it was suddenly shipwrecked in the House of Lords. The declarations of the Great Western people in favour of the coast line had paralysed the hopes of the natives, who abandoned all thought of getting their direct line. But on the defeat of the coasters their hopes revived, and it was determined that a county meeting should be held for the purpose of testing the feeling of the county on the re. opening of the quest:on. The Cornish people assembled in great numbers from the coast and the west. Several parties from London, Exeter, Plymouth, Bristol, &c., also attended. Among the parties from Exeter were the Mayor, Edward Woolmer, Esq., Mr. James Woolmer, his son, Captain Hulme, John Daw, Esq., H. D. Barton, Esq., &c., connected with the direct route from London or its proposed branches ; Mr. Wrey, connected with a former plan to bring a line by the valley of the Taw to Exeter, and a deputation from what may be called the great central interest. The requisition was signed by 1,300 freeholders ; and amongst those who attended were the following :—John Hearle Tremayne, E. Archer, of Trelaske, J. K. Lethbridge, W. H. Arundel Harris, Esqs. ; Captain Hext, Captain Collings, Dr. Yeo, Dr. Michel ; Rev. Mr. Kingdon, of Pyworthy, Rev. H. A. Simcoe, W. Braddon, Esq., Goldsworthy Gurney, Esq., Humphrey Williams, Esq., Richard Harvey, Esq., of St. Day ; Steven Davy, Esq., Richard Davy, Esq., William Davy, Esq., Richard Thomas, Esq., of Falmouth ; Thomas Harvey, Esq., James Bull, Esq., T. H. Tilley, Esq., Sergeant Gazelee, T. C. Rowe, Esq., Captain Moreshead, William Sandys Sandys, Esq., Richard Gully Bennett, Esq., D. P. Hoblyn, Esq., &c. There were present also—The Chisholm, and John Chapman, Esq., Directors of the South Western Railway Company, who attended with the deputation from the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil lines, with the secretary, L. Crombie, Esq. H. D. Barton, Esq., and Mr. Wrey, who attended as a deputation from a proposed direct Barnstaple and Exeter line ; Sir W. Tonkin, John Whidborne, E.g., Ed. Pryor, Esq., and P. Pearce, Esq., who attended as a deputation from the Dart mouth, Torbay, and Exeter line ; and W. D. Moore, Esq., who, with Mr. Collumbine, attended on behalf of the direct project, which fell to the ground before the unanimity of the proposed line. The High Sheriff, E. Rodd, Esq., of Trebartha Hall, opened the meeting at one o'clock, in the Nisi Prius Court of the County Hall. The SHERIFF said the meeting was convened, in consequence of a requisition which he had received, bearing the signatures of the Lord Lieutenant of the county, Lord Carteret, Lord Vivian, besides a great number of the gentry, merchants, and freebolders of the county. The UNDER-SHERIFF read the requisition, after which The HIGH SHERIFF read letters from Mr. Carew, M.P., who declined to be present as he should not like to take part in a meeting, the proceedings of which he might have to decide upon in Parliament. Mr. Rashleigh would not interfere till some specific line was decided on by the county. Sir Charles Lemon was abroad, and Mr. Pendarves was ill. But, of the latter gentleman, Mr. Rowe would probably report. Sir W. S. TRELANYNEY, Bart., the Lord-Lieutenant of the county, was warmly cheered on stepping forward to propose the first resolution. He said that so far as his own personal interest was concerned, he should have been much more satis fied with the south line, as that line would be most convenient to his little property. But it was such a line that he could not sanction it, although it had been supported by gentlemen whose talent and position made him most reluctant to oppose them.—( Hear, and cheers. ) About ten years ago the cen tral line vies first brought before the country. A committee appointed to consider the subject reported unanimously that the line was one which afforded the prospect of a paying traffic, and that there were no engineering difficulties which could not be overcome. From that time to this the central line had been his favourite plan—(Cheers)—and he believed that there was now a fair prospect of seeing it carried into effect: The Hon. Baronet concluded by moving the first reso lution, which was received with great cheering :—" That the general interests of the county of Cornwall, as well as the public at large, absolutely required that no trunk line should be sanctioned through the county which did not afford the most direct, central, safe, and continuous railway communication from Falmouth an d P enzance t o L on d on. " JOHN K. LETHBRIDGE, Esq., Chairman of the Quarter Ses sions, seconded the resolution, and asserted that the cental line was the only one which would be beneficial to both sides of the county.—( Great cheering.) It would bring the north of the county fairly into existence ; for if the south line had been carried, a considerable portion of the north, as well as a pore tion of the county of Devon, might as well have been in the Box Tunnel for ever.—( Hear.) He should not enter into the question of traffic, for it had been stated that there was a suffi cient traffic through the centre of the county, taking the Bod min moors into account, to afford a fair and reasonable profit to the spectilator.—( Cheers. ) The High Sheriff put the resolution, and it was carried una nimously. JOHN H. TREMAYNE, Esq., proposed the second resolu tion. When he found a line likely to pass which was a com plete one-sided scheme—a railway which was of such a Dater° as to be de-cribed not only by its enemies but its friends in terms which would give the public no confidence—the railway proposed by the Great Western, which was to take them round the sinuosities of the coast, across the valleys of Looe and Fowey, through the deep ravine of St. Austell, and finally trun dle them on to the flying bridge of Hamoaze ; finding that this was the scheme projected, he had thought it necessary to call the attention of the Lord Lieutenant, in a letter which was afterwards made public, in the hopes of inducing him (the Lord Lieutenant) and others to give a substantial evidence of their opinion on this question—and they did do it in the House of Lords.—(Cheers.) Now the fashion had been to say, that this railway had been postponed : he said it had been most essentially defeated—( Great cheeering)—and the word postponed was a deceptive one. The Hon. Gentleman then sketched the route which in his opinion the line branching from Truro to Falmouth should take, and having gone into some de tails on this point, said the question was, were they to go by Plymouth or straight to Exeter? He said straight to Exeter, by the moors to Launceston, where there was as fine a line as could be by Hatherleigh to Exeter. That was the line which should be adopted. The stream of traffic was ample. After adverting to the great services of the Committee of the House of Lords, he concluded, amid cheers, by proposing a resolution in support of the project which should best carry out the de sired central line. Mr. C. 13. SAWLE, in the absence of Sir J. Sawle, seconded this, and it was carried by acclamation. Captain HEXT said that, in the event of war, Falmouth would be the rendezvous of merchantmen. The increased dan ger of the Channel navigation from the war steamers of the enemy would make them land their valuable cargoes at Falmouth, and probably the most valuable cargoes for exportation would be sent by land to Falmouth, which would become a most im• portant mercantile place. For these reasons he thought the county ought not to be satisfied withou,t it got the best and speediest line of railway. JOHN CHAPMAN, Esq., Chairman of the Salisbury and Yeovil line, , aid the latter Company originated with men who saw what the west of England required, and saw that the South-Western Company was bound by a most absurd agree ment not to do th e i r d u t y i n t h e matter.—( Cheers.) This Company was called into existence by the absolute necessity there was for a direct line of communication from London to Exeter.—( Cheers.) They had the same solicitor and the same engineer (Mr. Locke) as the Seuth-Western Company, and many of its members were influential shareholders in that Company. So far with regard to the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Junction Company. Then there was the Yeovil and Exeter Company, which had the most influential noblemen and gentlemen of Dorset and Devon in its directory. But the two Companies, though distinct in locality, were one in object and unity of design, having the same engineer in both cases. They were two lines before Parlament, but one in unity. They had no solicitor to beat up for names, no engineer to be en gaged, no apprehension about means, for all that was done; their capital was subscribed, their deposits paid, and the Lon don and Salisbury line possessed 1,300,0041/. of available capi tal; the Salisbury and Yeovil had, in like manner, 1,500,000/.; the two Companies, therefore, which through him tendered their co-operation. had 2,800,000/.—ample to cover all contin gencies.—( Cheers.) Mr. Chapman concluded his address by tendering the aid of the Companies he represented towards carrying a line through Cornwall. The CHISHOLSI presented himself a' one of the Directors of the Exeter and Yeovil Company. Anxious as they were to advance this scheme, they had desired him to say that they would lend the county of Cornwall ail the aid they could to promote what they believed to be an object of national im portance—(Cheers)—and he would hand in a list of the names which they were desirous of adding to the Committee of the Cornwall and Devon central line of railway.—(Cheers.) Hav ing read the names, he said he thought that by their united efforts, aided by such auxiliaries as they would hear named that day, and acting on the Cornish motto, " one and all," they could not fail in getting a happy and triumphant result.— (Cheers.) He concluded amid loud cheering by proposing names for the Provisional Committee. The Mayor of Exeter (EDWARD WOOLMER, Esq.), fo lowed to the same effect. Mr. Sergeant G;;;;IIICE appeared as a shareholder of the South-Western Railway Company.—( Great cheering.) He wished he could appear as an authorised delegate, to take up a position which he thought was their own—a position which he thought fur the sake of the public they ought to occupy. But there was ars unfortunate agreement which their Directors, in their infatuation, had entered into with the Great Western Company. But though he had not the authority of the Direc tors, he came to hold out the right hand of fellowship, and he believed he could do so on !selloff of the great body of the pro prietors—( Great cheering)—who were indignant that their interests should be sacrificed, and he offered them (the Cornish people) help. Sir WARWICK TONKIN came from the small company of the Dartmouth and Torbay and Exeter Railway, and tendered their co. operation in promoting the great work. Mr. W. A. H. ARUNDEL proposed that the best thanks of the meeting were due to the number of gentlemen who had come forward in aid of the county of Cornwall, and that their prospectus be accepted, and that the Provisional Committee he immediately formed, for the purpose of carrying out the central line from Exeter to Falmouth.—( Cheers. ) HUMPFIAY WILLYAMS, E-q., seconded this in a brief ad dress, and hoped the meeting would join him in a general de claration of a central line or none.—( Loud cheering.) Mr. TILLEY, solicitor, then read the report of Mr. Locke and Mr. Neale, the engineers of the proposed line. Mr. W. C. ROWE, barrister, tendered the names of Lord Vivian and Mr. Pendarves for the Provisional Committee. Mr. Edward Archer, of Trelask, added his name to the Pro visional Committee; and thanks having been given to the High-Sheriff, the immense assemblage separated. WELSH MIDLAND. The first meeting of the Directors of this Company was held on Saturday, to lay before the linded proprietors of this county the various lines which had been exploro•l from Birmingham to and beyond Brecon, and to take the views and wishes of the gentlemen whose properties would be interfered with relative to any deviation of the line which any particular interest might lead them to desire. Bretton, as the great centre of the Welsh Midland, was se lected for holding the meeting. Viscount Hereford, Mr. Williams of Penpont, the Lord-Lieutenant of the county, Lloyd V. Watkins, Esq., of Pennoyre, Walter Maybery, Esq., Captain Stretton, of Dan y Park, H. Allen, Esq., of Oaktield, Rev. Hugh Bold, Re Thomas Powell, Rev. Thomas Vaughan, Colonel Charles Wood, and the other large owners of land on the intended course of the line, acre in attendance. At the conclusion of the business the Directors and gentry of the district in attendance sat down to a sumptuous dinner. On Tuesday a meeting, also in furtherance of the interests of the Welsh Midland, was held at Bewdley, the Mayor, Mr. Joseph Farmer, presiding. Deputations from the Birmingham Canal Company, the London and Birmingham Railway Com any, the Welsh Midland and Trent Valley, and Midland Gmnpanies, attended. .ir. Scott, M. P., Mr. W. L. Childe, and others, addressed the meeting, and resolutions were passed unanimously to the effect that the proposed Welsh Midland, through Leominster tt. newdltty, and thenc , ! to Kidderminster, to communicate with the Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and Stour Valley Railways, and thereby with the Trent S alley, IGEN CE. I%lidland, and Grand Junction Railway, will be conducive to the best interests of the town and neighbourhood of Bewdley ; and that the meeting would afford to it its most strenuous support. After some discussion the motion was carried, and the meeting separated. SOUTHWARK ELECTION. CALEDONIAN. The first ordinary meeting of the Shareholders was held on Wednesday, at the Royal Hotel, Edinburgh; Mr. J. Hope Johnstone, of Annandale, M.P., in the chair. There was a numerous attendance of Proprietors. The Secretary, Mr. RANKINE, read the Directors' report, after which MEETING OF SIR WILLIAM MOLESWORTII'S FRIENDS. The friends of Sir William Molesworth held a district meeting for St. Saviour's, Southwark, in the Queen's Head Tavern, High-street, last night. The large room was filled to overflowing. At half-past seven o'clock Sir William, accompanied by several members of his Committee, entered the room, and was greeted with enthusiastic cheering. Mr. COOPER having been called to the chair, pro posed an adjournment to the open air. The persons assembled consequently adjourned to the yard, and Sir WILLIAM addressed them from the bal cony. He said that this was the eighth meeting which he had attended in the borough, and at each he had felt it his duty to state his political principles, and at each, also, he had been received with kindness and applause. The real contest in that borough was between Mr. Fil cher and himself, for it was preposterous to speak of the chances of Mr. Miall.—(Cheers.) His (Sir William's) Committee had just informed him that the majority of voters had declared in his favour, and that the sup porters of Mr. Miall were insignificant in the extreme. — (Cheers.) On the last evening Mr. Miall had, however, with a singular want of politeness, stated that this asser tion of his was a mere electioneering trick, and that he (Mr. Miall) was confident of success.—(No, no.) He (Sir William Molesworth) would not retort upon Mr. Miall in his own rude strain, but he had already said that he should abide by the decision of the majority of the elec tors. Mr. Mall rejected this proposal, and why? Ho feared that the Liberal interest should prevail in the borough. If he (Sir W. Molesworth) could get Mr. Miall out of the field, ho should defeat the Tory with ease, and save his own purse.—(A voice in the crowd, "2,0001.," laughter.) And if Mr. Miall would accede to his proposal to test the strength of their supporters, the Liberal interest would be secure, and he would be re turned as their representative.—(Cheers, and " You shall.") Yesterday evening there was a meeting held of the supporters of Mr. Miall, and Mr. Apsley Pellatt, in the chair, said that no conscientious—no honest Dissenter could vote with him (Sir W. Moles worth). He was, he was happy to say, supported by many Dissenters, and they would record their support by voting for him.—(Cheers.) But Mr. Apsley Pel latt branded all Dissenters as dishonest, who would not see with his eyes and hear with his ears. He (Sir W. Molesworth) would have that gen tlemen to study a Rule charity, for charity was the very essence of religion.— (Cheers.) His conduct was unbecoming a liberal and enlightened man, and he (Sir %V. Molesworth) besought his friends to return those charges with a very different feeling ; he besought them to pardon those unjust accu sations on the Maynooth question, because the party making them had forgotten in his zeal the wrongs and the deep-seated feelings of the Irish people.—(Great cheering.) His political career was already before them, and on every question—whether of home or foreign policy, whether as respected their institutions or their commerce—his votes jpt (I always been given on the Liberal side.—(Cheertil) His votes were given among the first in the House of Commons in favour of those principles which had now forced themselves upon the attention even of Sir Robert Peel.—(Cheers.) That consummate Minister had compelled his followers to support his measures, and those measures had sapped the principles of monopoly and of class legislation to their foundations.—(Cheers.) If it were, therefore, the intention of the electors of that borough t' support these measures ; if it were their intention to carry out this good fight, then they would vote for him in order to defeat the Tory candidate.—(Cheers.) He had always opposed the corn-laws, and as a necessary consequence he had always voted with his esteemed friend Mr. Vil liers. The Hon. Baronet then proceeded to dilate upon the advantages which would accrue to the country from the abolition of the corn-laws.—(Great cheering.) After some further remarks, Sir W. Molesworth expressed himself ready to answer any questions that might be asked of him. The report of Mr. Errington, the engineer, was read, which stated that the works at the Beattock summit had been com menced, and that the contractors were at work. The CHAIRMAN then addressed the Proprietors, congra tulating them on the success of their Parliamentary contest. The opposition which they had met with had been of the most determined character, conducted by powerful and wealthy public bodies, and maintained throughout every stage of the Parliamentary proceedings, and even after, as he really be lieved, the slightest hope of succeeding in throwing out the Caledonian Bill continued to exist in the mind of any reasonable man among their opponents. Upon several occasions proposals of arrangement had been made, but these never came in any official shape, and they invariably were based on the concession of many of those points which formed the distinguishing and most valuable features in the Caledonian system. Under "these circum stances, those who had charge of the Bill had no choice as to the course which they should follow. Every tribunal before whom they came yielded to the force of the reasons which they brought forward. The Government Commissioners, the Board of Trade, the Committee of the House of Commons and that of the Lords in succession, by their decisions, put the impress of their sanction upon the project, and they were enabled, by reference to the concurring testimony of all these impartial bodies, to show that they had not hastily, or without cause, taken up the position for which they had contended. This was not the day of monopoly in any shape, but least of all was it the day of railway monopoly, and unquestionably projects might, and probzbly would, be brought out, in some' degree inimical to the Caledonian Company, and which it might be their duty to resist. But it was no part of their system to act as aggressors, or to deal with any other parties in a grasping and overbearing spirit. On the contra' y, they were most anxious to meet other companies with a sincere desire to accommodate differences, and to adjust matters on fair terms, and with a view to mutual advantage; and here he would say, that he truly believed that if such a feeling influenced more generally the councils of these powerful bodies, it would be for their advantage. Lord BELHAVEN, in moving the adoption of the report, re ferred to the expediency of effecting arrangements with some of the short lines near Glasgow. The expenses had, no doubt, been great, but this was mainly owing to the determined oppo sitionthey had met with in Committee. Baillie ANDERSON seconded the adoption of the report, which was put and carried unanimously, and after some obser vations from Colonel Macdonald, Colonel Graham, Mr. Lock hart, M.P., Dr. Cormack, and others, Donald Lindsay and Henry Brock were appointed auditors, and 1,000 uiocas vi ere voted to the Directors for their services. ISLE OF WIGHT. VENTNOR, FRIDA Y.—Purivant to announcement, a meet ing of the owners and rate-payers of Ventnor and its neigh bourhood, including Shanklin, Bonchurch, St. Lawrence, and Niton, was held at the St. Boniface Hotel, yesterday, for the purpose of expressing the sentiments of the inhabitants on the subject of the contemplated railway. On the motion of Mr. COLE, seconded by Mr. LA NKESTER, Sir Raymond Jarvis was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business, said, in consent ing to become a provisional director of the proposed line, it was with the expectation that it was likely to benefit the island, as he felt great interest in its prosperity. They should leave everything having reference to an illustrious party in the island out of the question; and if any strong objection were made in that quarter, lie thought such an exp;ession would certainly be deemed by them entitled to respect. The pro jectors of the Southampton and Manchester Railway were the promoters of this line. He had heard no good arguments ad duced to show that a railway would prove injurious. It had been said that the place would be overrun, that it would be demoralised, and that a railway would drive away the gentry. Now, instead of railways driving away people, every town was desirous of getting a railway as near to it as possible. Such objections had been urged when the railway was making at Southampton ; but he lived in a retired spot in the vicinity, and only one dis turbance had taken place during the time of its formation. The parish in which he lived was decidedly improved by the railway. So far from having a demoralising influence on the people, he thought railways promoted civilization, and tended much to tranquillise the country. It had been said that it wanted nothing to tranquillise Ireland hut railways, and he concurred in that opinion. He thought that in affording in creased facilities for enabling the artisan to see the beauties of nature they were doing that which was calculated to make them better men. And did they not require improvement in the island ? Without making any invidious observations, or reflect ing on any parties, he would ask, are the Ventnor roads in a proper state? Could they travel more than five miles an hour on them ? Why, the fact was, that invalids who came there were quite knocked up in their journey from Ryde or Cowes to Ventnor. Then, in reference to the numbers who would flock to the place, he would ask, why should the artisan be denied the privilege of seeing the country as well as the man who has honour and wealth attached to his name ?—(Cheers.) It has been said that it was not the people of the island, but strangers, who had projected the railway. Who carried out the Southampton Railway ? Not the people of that place ; they went to London and to Manchester, and there they found as much money as they wanted. Mr. Chaplain held more shares than all the county of Southampton put together. These gentlemen offered to bring money among the people o f the island ; and w as it p oss ibl e t h ey could have three or four hundred thousand pounds put in circulation without being benefited thereby? He had no doubt of the success of a rail.. way, and should be happy to have as many shares as the com pany would let him have. The advantages to be derived from its introduction in the direct communication it would afford with Southampton were very great ; they would then be able to go to London and back in the same day. It had been said that a railway would destroy the beauties of the island, but this was before it was known what route the line would take. It was to come west of Cowes, through Newport, and thence to Ventnor, anti would not interfere with or do injury to whichany pro pweorut benefitld Soar it f r . o m t e s k d n o e i w n g that rijo e land t through property,a th e railway Southampton Railway passed, originally not worth 2s. an acre, now let for 20s. They would likewise be able to obtain the necessaries of life with greater facility than they do now, and see 100 persons in the island for every one they saw at present. The company will also employ the population as far as it: is possible to do so in the construction of the line. Ships from foreign parts, desirous of landing their bags and forward ing them to London, will, by the facilities the proposed line will afford, save several hours. It only required union and perse verance to get the measure passed through the Legislature. The Honourable Baronet concluded a long address by reading a'quo tation from Lord Morpeth's speech at the opening of the York and Scarborough line, on the advantages arising from railways. A resolution in favour of the line, proposed by Mr. HART LEY, and seconded by Mr. W. WesTwoon, was then carried unanimously. i'dr. Cuts CELL stated that peo ;le who were at first opposed to the line now began to regard it favourably. It would save the island Bs. a ton in co7ls. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. COAL DIARIEET.

Moles eorth, Bart., from his political sentiments, his conduct during the nine years he sat in Parliament, and his con nexion with the borough, as owner of considerable pro perty, is in every respect highly qualified, and that this meeting, therefore, most cheerfully pledges itself to use every possible exertion to secure his return to Parlia ment." (From the London New Price Current of Aug. 29.) SUGAR.—To-day West India was purchased with much caution by grocers and refiners, and for the outports the de mand has nearly s ub s id e d. The sales amounted to only 60 hhds, &c., at easier rates, making the decline for the week 6d to is per cwt, and the total sales 930 hhds and trcs. A fair quae tity of all qualities now offering for sale. By private treaty this week Jamaica good and fine brown sold at 47s to 486, Demerara grey 495, whilst mid yellow with much more colour but less grain sold at the same price. Antigua good mid yel low 53, to 54s ; strong working sugars are proportionally the dearest at present. For public sale on Tuesday 100 hhds. of Barbadoes, 7,200 bags of Bengal, and 100 baskets of Java sugar are declared. REFINED.—To-day there was only a limited business trans acted in refined goods by the home trade, 65s to 65s 6d taken for brown, and 66s 6d to 67s for standard lumps; the market is well supplied. Bonded Crushed Sugar is little wanted, still prices cannot be quoted lower. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon Mauritius Sugar met with less attention, anti at a public sale of 3,070 bags the biddings were languid, prices declined 6d to Is per cwt, but the whole sold at and after the sale—good yellow at 51s 6d to 525, good mid 50s 6d, mid 48, to 50s, low 46s to 475, fine brown 44s 6d to 45s 6d, good 43s to 445, mid 41s to 42 , , low 38s to 40s, mid grey 46s to 47s 6d, good 48s to 495, washed 37s 6d to 503 6d, and syrupy 38s to 47s per cwt. EAST Isznia..--This afternoon 832 bags Penang sugar, sub ject to 18s 8d duty, were submitted to public competition, anti sold at about the former value, but without briskness—good strong greyish rsllow went at 50s 6d to 525, mid 48s to 495, damp 46s 6d to 535, washed 46s to 49s 6d, very low 41s to 41a ad, ord damp brown 39s Gd On 403 Gd, and middling 42s per cwt: Foitemsr.—Holders of Foreign Sugar still supply the market scantily with every description, notwithstanding the stiff rates that prevail, and which are higher than for several yecrs. None has again been submitted to public competition, and arrivals continue to be small from all quarters. There are several buyers of yellew Havannah, and they are disposed to pay former rates, but not above ; business however has been checked by the scanty supply at market. For Porto Rico prices remain at 24s 6d to 26s per cwt, but the supply falls short of the demand. Brazil has been sought after by ex porters, and our refiners working under bond. An opinion is current that prices generally have arrived at their highest point for Foreign and Foreign East India Sugar, notwithstanding the reduced stock in this country, and the limited quantity there is to arrive for the remainder of the year. Moeasses.—The demand has fallen off for West India, and although merchants are disposed to submit to rather lower rates still little business has been transacted in any description. Some parcels have arrived, still the stock is considerably less than it was last season. The value of Bengal Treacle is 17s to 17s 6d per cwt, but little has been done this week. Faust.—Currants are offered at 45s to 46s for Zante and Cephalonia, and at 46s to 485 for Patras, still very little busi ness has been done on account of the favourable advices re ceived for the crop, and arrivals of new being likely to be un usually early this year. Raisins have been purchased with caution by the home trade. The crop is likely to be unusually large this season, and the quality remarkably fine. COFFEE.--A fair demand has been experienced for middling and superior qualities of West India by private treaty, and the supply being small, prices continue firm ; indeed the quantity at market is insufficient for the wants of the trade, but ordinary, fine anti fine fine ordinary qualities have been purchased with caution, although there are sellers at a decline on former rates of Is to 2s per cwt. This afternoon there was no public sale of any kind of Cuffee, and the purchases made privately were to a small extent only. The value of good ordinary Ceylon is 47s to 47s 6d. per cwt. TEA.—The rates previously established for Congou have been supported, and a good demand has been experienced by private treaty. To-day several purchases were made, anti Congou fetched stiffer rates, 9 1 / id to 10d being paid for com mon, and lOid for good common. For Green Tea no improve ment in prices can be qnoted. COCOA.—Weo, India at present cannot generally be had upon lower terms, but there is a pause in the demand oc casioned by the arrival of a large parcel of Trinidad ; at auction 50 bags of Trinidad were sold, middling red at 46s 6d, middling dark red 455, and low 43s to 44s per cwt, being, however, rather cheaper. Foreign fully supports former rates, and there are still several buyers. SPICES.—BIack Pepper is less wanted, but holders are not inclined to give way, and the parcels sol I privately were upon former terms. White is, however, still wanted, and several transactions have taken place privately at 4id to 6d. There are many buyers of Pimento, and the rates paid privately are fully equal to those previouly quoted. In Jamaica Ginger there has been little business done. Of East India some parcels have been taken privately upon former terms. For Cassia Lignea buyers are compelled to pay stiffer rates ; the supply being inadequate for the demand. For Nutmegs several inquiries have existed, and the par cels sold privately were at stiffer rates. rslace is firm in price, and in good demand by private treaty. Cloves are wanted, and the lowest price of Bourbon is now 9d. For in ferior and coarse kinds of Cinnamon prices rule as low as ever with a large stock in first hands ' but good and fine sor t s are still in fair request, an d fetched last sale's rates to a small advance. Rim—There has been more activity in the market for Bengal this week, holders have shown firmness, and refrained from offering any at public sale; privately a fair business has at impro ve d ra t es .

Lee ward Island has Islet with increased attention, and stiffer rates are obtained. Th e quantity sold amounts to 250 puns. Demerara has b een in good request, and the best se t t f e t c h e d stiffer rates, all other kinds fully sustain the former value. Calcutta is held with firmness, and a fair demand has been experienced. For Brandy the market has still an improving appearance--a 104; business has been tra nsac t e d at higher prices. he accounts received from France are still unfavourable for the vintage. Geneva is fetching Is Ilid to 2s for shipping, and fine for home consumption 2s 3d to 28 . 8 d per gallon, British Corn Spirits, lOs 2d per gallon nett cash. Mr. HOWARD seconded the resolution. He was a conscientious Dissenter, but he had yet to learn that he should therefore cease to be a man and a patriot ; he was yet to learn that they should be dictated to by an other party ; and coinciding, as he did, in all the:senti ments expressed by Sir William Molesworth that night, it was decidedly his intention to support him. If they divided their strength they gave, in effeeq, a vote for Mr. Filcher ; and if they returned the Tory candidate, were they not strengthening the hands of the State Church Establishment, and in the same degree weakening the power of the Dissenters of the country ? Mr. Filcher claimed their votes because of his lengthened residence in the borough ; but he (Mr. Howard) knew an old apple-woman who was a longer resident than he.— (Cheers and laughter.) He would second the resolution with the utmost pleasure. The resolution was carried with the greatest enthusiasm, Thanks were voted to the Chairman, and the meeting adjourned. There were more than 1,200 persons assembled in the yard of the Queen's Head. MEETING OF MR. MIALL'S FRIENDS. A meeting of the electors and inhabitants of South wark favourable to the claims of Mr. Minn was held last evening, at Knighton's Assembly-rooms, Black friars-road. Shortly before eight Mr. Miall, attended by Mr. Pellatt, Mr. Day, and Mr. Garrett, entered che room and was received with considerable applaase. Mr. A. PELLATT having been called to the chair, said that the remarks of Sir William Molesworth on the pre ceding evening proved he was inconsistent on the ques tion of the voluntary principle as opposed to Church endowment, and, inasmuch as that was a point upon which the electors decidedly and unanimously differed from him, he was unfit to be their representative ; and the result of the election would prove that the majority disavowed him and approved of the sentiments of Mr. Miall, whose triumphant success could no longer be doubted, as there were more than enough unpledged voters to secure his return.—(Cheers.) Mr. MIALL, w ho was again met with loud cheers, hut mingled with not a little disapprobation, said that when men tumid they were weak in argument, they lost their temper, and endeavoured to bully. Those who had first induced the "Liberal " candidate to come forward were now sending men to disturb their meetings. Many cir cumstances of the last few days had given him great encouragement, and perhaps none more so than the Morning Chronicle. That paper was a most ardent, persevering, and talented advocate of the so called " Liberal cause." It had received large waLes, and so it had worked well, and its services and gratitude to its employers had been most exemplary. There was no hole of darkness into which it would not creep, no corner of trickery and duplicity into which it would not enter, for the salte of pandering to and serv ing its party. It was no wonder, therefore, that, look ing at Southwark through the medium of Leicester, the proprietors of the Morning Chronicle should feel alarmed, and he could not but congratulate himself that it had now come out with a charge that he was allied with the Tories.—(Bursts of laughter.) He wished to do all honour to the reporters of the press who had attended his meetings. The various speeches he had made had been sketched at once with ability, impartiality, and genuine integrity. Occasionally an inaccuracy had crept in, but that he attributed rather to his own than the reporter's fault. These inaccuracies, however few and trifling, had been seized on by Sir W. Molesworth with an avidity which did him credit—he made quite merry upon them. Now he (Mr. Miall) would not con descend to such trickeries, but he would repeat the ques tion which last evening he distinctly put, whether, when Sir R. Peel put forward hi s I r i s h po li cy, Si r W. Moles worth would propose the withdrawal of the Maynowh grant, the endowment of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland, and all appropriation of the revenues of the State to ecclesiastical purposes ?—(Cheers.) Sir Wm. Molesworth would not do that, he would.—(Cheers.) He had been also ridiculed by this "Liberal" candi date with being an " impracticable " man. He was impracticable so far as that gentleman's party was concerned ; but he was perfectly able to test the spirit of the house of Commons, and it was a prac ticai thing to expose the dishonesty of the Whig party. No wonder Sir W. Molesworth disapproved of the vo luntary principle, for he had six livings in his own pre sentation. Let not the Dissenters be duped, if the " Liberal" candidate would only show his true colours, he would be the abhorrence of them all.—(Lottd cheers.) As to the question of lessening the hours of labour, he warned them not to trust to Parliaments or Govern. ments, but to themselves and their trades-unions. Not Air. La NKESTER. prefaced the next resolution in a speech of some length expressive of sati , faction at the intimation of the Directors thr, they would employ Isle of Wight labour in the construction of the line. The CHAIRMAN stated that letters had been received from Messrs. T. G. Anderson, Mr. A. Bigwood, Mr. G. Cham bers, Dr. Greenhead, Mr. Fidler, and Mr. Goulding, owners of , :onsiderable property in Ventnor, declaring their assent to the line. A petiti in, on the motion of Mr. T. B. ROBI NSON, , 7econded by Mr. MITCHELL, was again to be presented to the Huse by the Members for Hants and the Isle of ‘Vight. Thanks, on the motion of Captain HADFIELD, seconded by Mr. F. JONES, were given to the promoters of the lam. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON. ANDOVER, FRlDAY.—Yesterday a meeting of the inha bitants of Andover was held in the Town-hall, pursuant to a requ sition most numerously and respectably signed, valling upon the Mayor to convene a meeting, for the purpose of con sidering the advantages likely to arise to the neighbourhood by the projected line from Manchester to Southampton, which is intended to pass through the valley of Avon, close by the town of Andover. Mr. WA LicissnAw, one of the deputation, explained the route of the proposed line, and enlarged upon the advantages it was calculated to confer on the south-western parts of England, by connecting them with the manufacturing districts of Man- chester and the north. To Andover it would give an easy and ready access for the population to the neighbouring markets, and the several fairs in the vicinity, including the important annual marts of Appleshaw and Weyhill. For some years these places, the depots of agricultural produce, had been in a state of decadence, but it only required the means of more frequent intercourse to prove that that would become the principal point at which western and northern commerce would centre. Mr. ETWALL, M.P. for the borough, moved the first resolu tion in favuur of the line, illustrating its commercial and agri cultural advantages in a short address. Mr. ROBERT FOOTNER seconded the resolution, which was carried by acclamation, as were others, proposed and supported by Messrs. Alortitner, Stebbing, and others. NORTH WALES MINERAL. Cusint, AUG. 29.--The Proprietors in the North Wales Mineral Railway, held their half-yearly general meeting to day in this city. The chair was taken by William Wardell, Esq. The law clerk (Mr. Kelsall) read the report of the Direc tors, which stated that the extension of the line to Ruabon, and the mineral districts of Brymbo and Minera would render it necessary to lay down double rails throughout the line, for which purpose 90,0001. would be raisod by new shares. In consequence of the rapid progress of the works another call of 21. would be made. The Directors had in contemplation the making additional branches into the mineral districts. Mr. Roy had been appointed resident Director at Chester. The receipts from the formation of the Company had been 69,0621., the expenditure 53,1651. withstanding the rage of 'the Morning Chronicle, he as sured the mteting he would continue his struggle to the last hour ; and if the electors were only true to their principles, he should be triumphantly returned their member.—(Loud cheers.) In answer to several questions, Mr. Mum, expressed his abhorrence of capital punishment, and of any legisla tive interference respecting the observance of the Sabbath. A vote of confidence in Mr. Miall, and of thanks to the Ch airman, was proposed and carried, and the meet ing separated. MEETING OF MR.FILCLIER'S FRIENDS. Last night the friends and supporters of this gentle man held a second meeting, at the Europa Tavern, Ro therhithe, which was rather fully attended. Mr. Sbaw occupied the chair on the occasion. The CHAIRMAN introduced Mr. Filcher to the meet ing in a lengthened address, being principally a contrast of the merits of the three candidates. Mr. Miall, he said, according to his own showing, had no claim to represent the borough, as being without rank, party connexions, or reputati,n. Ile (Mr. Miall) was also the advocate of doctrines of a dangerous character. He V 5 as for universal suffrage and vote by ballot. The one, according to his definition, would allow every person in prison to exer cise the suffrage previous to a conviction ; and the latter would introduce into the country those corruptions se cret voting had produced in France. He was also against all qualification of a property kind for Members of Parliament, so that persons without character and sub stance might be elected. Sir William Molesworth was the next candidate, whom he (the Chairman), in the lan guage of Hudibras, would characterise as " A haberdasher in small wares, In politics and State affairs ;" who, when in Parliament, bad stoke on almcs: every INDIGO.—The quarterly sale of East India is fixed for the 7th9r , e oo already the i mmense quan tit y o f 15 ,196 chests every p ros p ec t th a t it w ill b e i ncreased to the market i n consequence h as b ecome unusually dull, and although th ere are sellers at prices rather under those ald o e t oc October;lcatrieesdt,s with of the last quarterly sales, still there has been scarcely any de mand for the home trade or exporters.

English Re ' fined is selling at 28s 6d to 9 93 per cwt, and is still in good de mand. Nitrate of Soda has met with more attention, and prices have risen from 18s to 19s per cwt.

The only claim he could advance, founded on his previous Parliamentary career, was his regular support of the odious New Poor-law.— (Cries of " No, ne," and " Yes, yes.") The prize for which these parties were contending was the borough of Southwark, but he hoped the independent electors would come forward and rescue it from both.—(Hear, hear.) They had it in their power to do so by electing the re maining candidate he had to introdece to their notice, Mr. Pitcher.--(Cheers.) Mr. Pilcher was a well-kno , ,va man—one of their own townsmen. He was a friend of the poor, an opponent of the New Poor-law, and a sup porter of the Protestant faith.—(Cheers.) The honour able gentleman concluded by introducing Mr. Pilcher. Mr. PILCIIEJL was received with great cheering on rising to address the meeting. He thought it was hard to be told that out of from 5,000 to 6,000 electors in the borough they had not a man who could represent them, and therefore they must send for a stranger. It was this which had induced him to come forward, for had any other gentleman amongst them, who was better qualified to represent their wants and wishes offered himself, he should not have done so. He was known to them all. He carried on business amongst them, and expended large sums of money in the employment of the labouring classes. He knew their wants and interests as a com mercial constituency, and if elected would do his best to advance them.—(Cheers.) Docks and wharfs were in contemplation, which would make Southwark equal in shipping accommodation to the city of London, and these should receive his studious attention, and interest, and support. He was against the harsh provisions of the New Poor-law, and would do his utmost to have them modified, consistent with the di c t a t es o f humanity.— FRIDAY NIGHT S GAZETTE. CROWN-OFFICE, AUG. 29. 1845. MEMBER RETURNED TO SERVE IN THIS PRESENT PAR —(Hear, hear.) He was a Protestant, and as such would defend that faith against the encroachments of Popery. He would have voted against the Maynooth grant had he been in Parliament, and if returned would support any proposition for its repeal. The other points on which he had declared himself were fully given in his address, and need not be gone over in detail then. He concluded by expressing himself willing to answer any question that the electors might think fit to put. He was severally questioned on the corn-laws, tho suff rage, the pension list, and triennial Parliaments. In answi r to the first, he said he would alter the corn-laws as far as possible consistent with existing interests, as lie was for a cheap loaf. He was willing to extend the suffrage as far as it was expedient so as to include the honest and industrious cl,sses. He would do away with all un merited pensions, and make merit the foundation of a public grant, as in the case of Sir Henry Pottinger. He had not made uo his mina on tri.•.nnial Parliaments, but tim subject should have his best consweration, and tie would be guided by his constituents in the matter. Dr. Misicticc. Chairman of the Horselydown Loyal Conservative Association, moved a resolution to the effect that Mr. Filcher was a fit and proper person to represent the borough in Parliament. Mr. GRISENTHWAITE seconded it, when it was put and carried by acclamation. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman, and three cheers for Mr. Filcher, the meeting separated. LIAMENT.

LAW INTELLIGENCE PALACE COURT, WESTMINSTER , A ug. 29. (Before Mr. W. B. B RENT .) I The first applications under the Small Debts Act were heard to-day. Six summonses had been granted for the attendance of debtors against whom judgment had been obtained in this Court. Three attended, and one did not ; the other two had not been served. No charge had been made in this Court for summonses, in consequence of a defect in the Act. It seems that applications have been made in the first instance to debtors, and, in a number of cases, settlements have been made without putting the machinery of the new law into operation. BRYANT V. BRIDGMAN. The debt in this matter was 141. 2s. 6d., which with the costs amounted to 201. The plaintiff is a coal-merchant at Somerset•wharf, Strand, and tine defendant a coal-dealer in Baldwin's-gardens, Gray's Inn-lane. The defendant detailed a series of misfortunes. He had a bad leg, his wife had fractured her skull, and one of his children had broken a thigh. He was now much distressed. The plaintiff declared that he had 5001. on his books of debts under 20/ , and could not get any part of them. He intimated that the defendant had not been steady in his business. It appeared that the defendant's father-in-law held a bill of sale for money borrowed, which was exhibited when an exe cution was levied at the suit of the plaintiff. It was urged that the bill of sale had defeated the creditor, and was an offence under the new law. The COURT, however, held that the case had not been proved, and in consequence of the misfortunes of the defendant dismissed the summons. In another case, a defendant who was summoned for a bread bill of Si. 6s. Id., did not make his appearance, and an applica tion was made for his commitment for a period not exceeding forty days. The defendant had an income, and was in the habit of flitting about from place to place. The Learned JUDGE felt some reluctance to make an order of committal. It was the first case under the Act, and he much preferred giving the defendant another oppor tunity. It was contended that the Act was imperative. The de fendant had been personally served, and had the means of payment. The order of imprisonment would not extinguish the debt, and the interests of creditors required that it should be applied. The Learned JUDGE, after some discussion, deferred grant. ing the warrnnt of commitment. He was aware th a t t h ere were persons who would not pay without being sent to prison, and it was well that debtors should know that the power would be exercised. - - POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION- HO USE. Four boys, named Sinclair, Denton, Davis, and Reed, were brought before the Lord Mayor, charged with having committed robberies upon smaller boys. The prisoners, it appeared, had been long in the habit of neglecting their business as apprentices, and asso ciating with notoriously bad characters, and they at length determined to sE t up the business of thieving themselves. They thought that Bow fair would abound with opportunities of commencing the trade, and they accordingly determined to repair to that place of enter tainment. How to obtain the means of making a favour able commencement, however, was a serious question with them, for a little capital appeared to them to be indispensable, in order to enable them to "dodge" pro perly in the dramatic and drinking booths. It occurred to one of them that the most advisable course to be pur sued was that of " uncapping" boys of smaller growth, and selling the caps to the dealers in Petticoat-lane. The prospect was at once eagerly embraced, and one 9f the howly-cen4titkited gang rare ap IRISH LINES. DUBLIN AND DROGHEDA. DUBLIN, Auc. 28.—This day the usual half-yearly genera, meeting of Proprietors was held at the Company's house in Marlborough -street. Mr. George Hoyte, Deputy-chairman of the Company, was called to the chair. The CHAIRMAN observed that the. Howth branch had been already put into the hands of Mr. Dargin and other competent contractors. It would be at once proceeded with, and opened next spring. Mr. ECKERSLEY then read the report of the Directors. After which ' Mr. KIDD read the financial report, when Mr. GxEsirAm moved that the reports be received and adopted. Mr. NICHOLSON, of Manchester, in seconding the motion, said in common with the Shareholders resident in Manchester, he had to express disappointment at the small amount of "goods traffic" which the Company possessed, and he had no doubt but the deficiency in th a t particular source of prosperity arose from the absence of proper facilities. Mr. BRonlaa.sr observed that the Directors were quite aware of the deficiency, and had already taken steps to encou rage " goods traffic" on the line. The report was then adopted. Mr. EvA Ns, of Manchester, moved the declaration of a dividend of 245. per s h are; M r . S COTT secon d e d thi s , an d it was carried. Mr. D. KANE moved that 150,000/. should be raised by the issue of 60,000 new quarter shares, which was seconded by Sir. BUCHANAN, barrister, and carried unanimously. Mr. GRESHAM moved, and Mr. MoONEY seconded, a vote of thanks to Sir John M'Neill, the Company's engineer, which was carried amid applause. Sir JOHN NI'NEILL handed in a letter from Mr. Thomas Ord Lees, secretary to the General Post.otfice, expressive of the entire satisfaction of the Post-office authorities of the general working of the Drogheda Railway. On no occasion had the mails been delayed in their transit to and from Dublin, nor had there been a single accident of any kind; and he (the writer) attributed that happy state of things to the perfect manner in which all the arrangements connected with the line were carried out. Mr EvA NS moved a resolution to the effect that every man budding a house of the annual value of 30/. should have a free oket along the line. to a little fellow in Aldersgate-street, whipped the cap off his h ea d cs . if in play, gave him a deb with it over the eyes, and turned down one of the narrow lanes in the neighbourhood, foll , :wed by his comrades, to the terror and confusion of the victim. Their next essay was upon a Loy in the vicinity of Cheapside. In the exuberance of his fun, one of them seized the cap of a lad who was going to school, and ran down a lane, with his comrade in his rear. An officer of police, however, obierring that the race was not a le gitimate one, and perceiving that one of the prisoners was encumbered with a bundle, stopped the whole set, and took them to the station-house, where it was disco vered that the two caps had been stolen, and that one of the prisoners had robbed his mother of the clothes he had been in the habit of wearing on Sunda) s and holi days, for the purpose of going with eclat to Bow Fair. The LORD MAYOR said he should take time to con sider whether he should not order the prisoners to be well whipped, and remanded them. THE NEGOCIITORFOR T HIE VES CHARGED WITH BIGAMY. Charles Maynard, the estate agent in Howland-street, was re-examined before Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes,at Guildhall, charged with attempting to negotiate the restoration of stolen goods for a reward. Mr. Clarkson, for the prosecution, said he proposed to go into the charge of bigamy against the prisoner. Collard, the superintendent of the Great Western Railway police, produced a certificate of the marriage of Charles Gregory Maynard with Sarah May, on the 23,1 of April, 1822, at Crip_ plegate Church. John James Daniel, of 50, Aldenham •street, Somers Town, a postman, was called to identify the prisoner as the person who was so married. He said he knew the Maynard who was mar ried there, but it was so long ago that he should not recognise the prisoner but for some corroboratory circumstances. The prisoner's appearance was quite altered. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes asked whose friend he was? The witness replied he was Maynard's friend. Mr. Clarkson reminded him that he signed the register book as a witnsss, and asked him if he did not know that the prisoner was the same person ?—The witness replied he thought he was, but he was much altered. He met the prisoner once about twelve months ago, and nodded to him, but their intimacy ceased soon after the marriage. Mr. Clarkson asked how long he was acquainted with the prisoner ?—The witness said it was about a year. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes remarked that he seemed to be trifling with the Court when he professed to be uncertain. He warned him to be careful. Mr. Clarkson required the prisoner to remove his spectacles, and telling the witness to make allowance for an advance of 20 years of age, again pressed him to say whether he was positive the prisoner was the person who married Sarah May or not ? The witness at last said he had no doubt he was the person. He saw the wife last Saturday week at the last examination of the prisoner. Mr. Clarkson prayed that the witness should find sureties for his appearance to give evidence upon the trial. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes, after making some inquiries about the witness, consented to take his own recognisance for his appearance ; but recommended him to give his evidence in a very different manner on the next occasion. Miss Harriet Maxtead, the second wife, was :then examined. She is a respectable-looking young woman, and cued much while she was giving her evidence. Sir. Clarkson promised to spare her feelings as much as he could, arid to put as few questions as possible. She stated that she had been acquainted with the prisoner about a year. He represented himself to be a single man, and she consented to marry him. They were married at Sand hurst Church, in Kent, on the 30th of July last. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes asked if he obtained any money from her?—She said she gave him what she had freely. He had borrowed a little before their marriage. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes inquired the total amount? —She said she had not kept an account, but it was about 50/. The prisoner declined putting any questions to the witnesses. He was not prepared to meet the charge, because he was not aware the other charges against him would be abandoned. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes asked who had told him the other cases were abandoned ?—The prisoner replied, it appeared to be so. Mr. Prance said he did not abandon his case respecting the negeciation for the return of his writing-case and bills of exchange. The prisoner said he should furnish his counsel with circum stances connected with his first marriage, which he had no doubt would be considered when the matter came before a higher tribunal. That was all he deemed it prudent to say to the charge at present. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes remanded the prisoner on this charge for further evidence of identity. The prisoner's sister, Martha Maynard, whose address is un known, was the second witness, besides the postman, who signed the marriage register. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes then called upon Mr. Clark son to proceed with the other cases. Mr. Clarkson said he was prepared with the additional evi dence of Sir. Clarke, the principal superintendent of the Great Western Railway, in the case of the bills stolen from that rail way ; but with regard to the second charge of alike nature, and which he had before mentioned, and to which he should not more particularly allude now, he had no instructions to press the case further. Mr. Nash, the clerk to Messrs. Swain, Stevens, and Co., begged to withdraw from being a witness in the first case. He thought there was evidence enough without him. Mr. Prance considered Mr. Nash a material witness. Mr. Nash explained the grounds of his reluctance. Two members of the firm by whorl: he was employed thought he had exceeded his duty in giving the prisoner into custody, and that no case could be made out against him. As they considered he had acted improperly in making the charge, he begged to withdraw from the prosecution. Mr. Prance explained, that the desk containing the railway scrip which was to be the subject of the second charge, was stolen from the Birmingham Railway, and the Company ap• peered to he desirous to break up the gang of railway robbers, till it was discovered that two solicitors, who had taken part in obtaining restorati, n of the property, would make an awkward figure in the witness-box A person who had been taken into custody, but not brought before a magistrate, was then libe rated, the charge was stifled, and the re,ult was, that an action had been brought against Mr. Nash, Collard, the officer, and himself (Mr. Prance), for false imprisonment. Mr. Alderman Hughes Hughes expressed his regret at hear ing such a statement. He considered the first case made out a strong case, and he should certainly commit the prisoner upon trial upon that. Mr. Nash had important evidence to give, and he should at once secure his attention by binding him over in a heavy penalty to appear and give evidence. Sir. Nash, so far from deserving censure for misconduct, had displayed great in telligence and zeal throughout the business. A railway corn pany should be the last to sanction any compromise, or check the discovery of the thieves and receivers, and the public con fidence in such companies would be proportionably diminished as their conduct was disgraceful. Whatever Messrs. Swain and Co. might think of the case, the truth remained the same, and he should persist in committing Maynard for the attempt to compromise the felony ; and if Mr. Prance chose to undertake the prosecution of the other case, he should have process to compel the attendance of any and all the witnesses he could name. Mr. Prance felt disposed to accept the Alderman's sugges tion, and said he would consider of the subject before the next examination. He handed up to the Alderman copies of the correspondence that had passed relative to the apprehension and liberation of a person named Wareham, who had not been brought before the Magistrate. The evidence of Mr. Stanley Clarke, identifying the hand writing of three letters which have already been printed, was then taken, and the prisoner was remanded for further exami nation on the 12th of September. The following is one of the letters contained in the corre spondence handed to the Magistrate To Charles Russell, Esq., Chairman of the Great Western Railway Company. " Aug. 25. Morley's Hotel, Trafalgar. square. " Sir—lt perhaps has not escaped your attention that in the month of July last I had, under peculiar circumstances, a writing-case, containing property to a considerable amount, stolen from me when a passenger on your line, and that an attempt was made by a regular thief's agent to procure a sum of money for the restoration of it, which ultimately led to the apprehension of this agent, who underwent examination at Guildhall. At the last examination a remand was applied for by Mr. Clarkson, the counsel for your Company, on the ground that certain intelligence had been obtained of a robbery in which this agent recovered 150/. for the restoration of a parcel stolen from the premises of the London and Birmingham Rail way, and, under the advice of Mr. Clarkson, Messrs. and are summoned to give evidence of their having compro mised this Birmingham case, for the payment to Maynard of 150/. " To my astonishment I have received a letter from your solicitors, that in consequence of Mr. Mills, one of your directors, having, at the instance of Messrs. - and - interposed to prevent the exposure of Messrs. -, the Birmingham ease is not to be proceeded with, and that there fore the present opportunity, of such immense importance to the public at large (of hreakihg up, as there is abundant evidence to prove, of an organised gang of systematic robbery of luggage on railways) is to be utterly lost. Your solicitors have intimated to me that under existing circumstances it will be hardly worth while to proceed against Maynard. " I perhaps may he allowed to mention that since the last remand another person has been apprehended upon satis factory evidence and under the advice of Mr. Clarkson, and whose arrest would necessarily have led to important dis closures. This person ha•, since the interposition of Messrs. -, through Mr. Mills, been discharged, and he has brought, I find, an action against me and others for false imprisonment. " I leave all these facts to your superior judgment, and should be glad to hear from you on Wednesday morning; but I may perhaps be allowed to suggest that the public will hardly be satisfied to allow the case to be so lightly passed over merely to screen Messrs - from the consequences (if any) of their connexion with Maynard. " I have the honour, &c., " VAUGHAN PRANCE." The answer to this letter does not appear in the correspond ence, but Mr. Prance received an intimation from the soli citors that they intended to proceed in his ease, and one of the partners in the firm would prosecute the charge of bigamy. TREATMENT OF RAILWAY PAS SENGERS. Yesterday Mr. James Lee, a tradesman residing in Brydges street, Coveet-garden, applied to Mr. Henry, at Lambeth Police -court, for his advice and assistance under the following circumstances : Mr. Leo stated that last Sunday week Mrs. Lee and himself went to visit a friend in the neighbourhood of Walton, Surrey, and had obtained two day tickets at Nine Elms for Walton station, for which he paid 2s. Bd. each, as second Blass fare. On arriving at W alton, one of the porters on duty there cut off a part of the ticket in the usual way, leaving them one portion with which to return by its the evening. On corning hack to the same station in the evening, he (Mr. Leo) looked out for the same man that had cut the tickets in the morning, and requested he would procure them a place in the second-class carriage in the train then about to start. The man said, " Follow me," and Mrs. Lee and himself accordingly followed him the ss hole length of the train, when he exclaimed that all the second-class carriages were full, and returning a short distance along the train, the porter pointed to a first-class carriage and desired them to get into it, which they did, and the train proceeded towards town. On arriving at the Nine Elms station an officer came round to re ceive the tickets, and a few minutes after he had given up his the officer came back to him and told him that they had travelled by the wrong carriage, and that they must accompany him to the inspector's office. They complied, and on reaching the office they were surrounded by a number of the Company's servants, and, though he calmly explained the whole of the cir cumstance, they detained them twenty-five minutes, and told him that unless he chose to pay 2s. Bd. additional fare they should be taken to the station-house. He protested ag a i nst hi s improper detention,' a s we ll as t h e d e mand for additional fare, and refused to pay the latter, conceiving it to be an imposition, but Mrs. Lee becoming alarmed at the threat of b eing sent to the station, he, at her entreaties, paid the add it i ona l demand, and was allowed to depart. He was told, howev er , th at if h o had any complaint to make, it should he received and consi dered of by the managing directors. He called at the sta tion on the following day, when he law Mr. Stovin, the superintendent of the traffic department, and a printed form was placed before him by that gentleman, who re quested him to fill in, in writing, the nature of the ciremo' stances attending his complaint. He did so, and was told he should hear from the Company on the subject. Some day after he received a communication, and 'n con,equence of it be again called at Nine Elms, when he was informed that the officer at the Walton station had denied the truth of his (Mr. Lee's) statement, and that nothing further could be done in the matter. He urged the injustice that had been done to Tint through the act, alone, of the Company's own officer, and alto the injustice of compelling him to pay eight shilling•,.the first class fare both ways, when it must have been quite apparent from the tickets which he had delivered up, that both himself and Mrs. Lee had gone down by a second-class carriage. His representation, however, was to no purpose ; he was again told that nothing more could be done, and that if he wanted to W." ceed farther in the matter, he must go to the Company's so licitors in Bedford-row. Mr. Lee deemed it to be but an act of justice towards himself, as well as one of duty towards the public, to seek redress for the injury, and the object of his pre sent application was to know whether his Worship possessed the power as a magistrate to assist him, and, if not, to request his advice how he was to obtain redress. Mr. Henry—l am much afraid I have no power to inter fere or assist you. However, I will look over the Act, a nd see whether I have any jurisdiction in the matter. Mr. Henry here looked over various clauses in the volumi nous Act, and after doing so said it was as he had expectiKlo that he had no power to interfere in the matter. Mr. Lee—Does your worship think I can make A debt of it, and summons the officer of the company who demanded a nd received the additional 2s. Bd. to the Court of Requests 1 Mr. Henry—l think not. Your only remedy would be bl action. Mr. Lee—lt's a formidable affair to go to law with such body as the directors of the company, and so the officers must have thought when they referred me to their solicitor but still it's very provoking to have been served as I have been merely through the blunder, if it may be called so, of the company's own servant. • Mr. Henry—The present is the first complaint that has been made of the Company or their officers since this Court hat been opened, and I must say, from what I have seen of the officers when attending here on business, that they appeared to me to evince every disposition to civility and attention. I think that, under the circumstances, I should give them an opportu nity of answering your complaint, and with this view shall tend to the Secretary of the Company to request his attendance, or the attendance of some other competent officer, to give some explanation of the matter at this Court on Monday or TtiesdaY next. In the interim I will have an opportunity of looking into the various clauses of the Act of Parliament, and will be better able to say whether, while it afforded every protection to the Company itself against frauds and improprieties of all sort. , , it also afforded equal protection to the public. Mr. Lee expressed his thanks to the Magistrate for his kind ness and attention, Lnd raid he should appear again when required. Mr. Murphy, the Mexican Minister, transacted busi ness yesterday at the Foreign. office. Mr. Greville had an interview with Sir James Grahatn yesterday, at the Home-office.
