THE HUDDERSFIELD AND EAST AND WEST COASTS DIRECT RAILWAY, correcting Liverpool, Manchester, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Goole, Great Grimsby, and Hull ; with a communication to the Metropolis, from or near the Cudworth Station of the North Midland Railway. (Registered Provisionally.) Capital, 1,000,0001., in 50,000 Shares of 201. each. Deposit 21. 2s. per Share. la compliance with the Standing Order of the House of Lords. The objects of this undertaking are—first, to establish one con ilnuoos, and a more direct and shorter line of railway communica 'lan between Liverpool, Manchester, Huddersfield, Barnsley, Goole, - *rest Grimsby, and Hull, than at present exists, or is proposed by my other scheme now before the public ; secondly, to give the be nefit of railways to several populous and important intermediate places now unprovided therewith ; thirdly, to afford increased fa cilities to transit to the whole intervening district • and fourthly, to apen a communication from Huddersfield, southwa rd, with the me tropolis. The Legislature having, during the recent session, sanctioned the flaking of a railway from Manchester to Huddersfield, by the Sad lleworth and Marsden Valleys, a communication is thereby secured oetwist the port of Liverpool and Huddersfield ; a similar communi sation is now called for with the Eastern Coast, and in order to ac- Amplish the same, it is therefore proposed to make a line, corn wancing at, or near, the station in Huddersfield, of the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway, passing through the Kirkheaton and Kirk- Dorton Valleys, by way of, or near Barnsley, to or near the Cud worth station of the North Midland Railway, there forming a junc tion with that railway (by which a communication with the metro polis will be obtained), and thence proceeding to Goole, Great Grimsby, and Hull, by the nearest practicable routes. In order to effect the required objects, at as little expense, and lessen the dis tance as much as possible, liberty is reserved to form junctions with any other existing or projected railways. . _ on reference to a map, it will 'be seen that the construction of the proposed line, with the existing and projected railways, will attain not on'y the several objects before stated, but also that it will pass through, or near, several of the most extensive and celebrated coal-fields, beds of stone, and limestone, and other mineral districts, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. It is impossible, in the limits of a prospectus, to enumerate or estimate the benefits to be derived from this undertaking; making Huddersfield the centre of communication between the two seas, uniting it by means of the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway to Liverpool on the west ; and by the proposed line, to the three ports of Goole, Great Grimsby, and Hull, on the east; and the line passing through a densely-populated commercial and manulhcturing part of the kingdom, as well as a highly-cultivated agricultural district, will afford a ready transport to the natural productions of each locality ; added to which, it is well known that considerable portions of such manufacturing districts have hitherto been very inadequately sup plied with coal, and also that there is a daily increasing demand by the outports of that article for exportation ; whilst on the other hand the superabundant produce of the rich agricultural districts of York shire and Lincolnshire, bordering upon the line, are in equal demand for the manufacturing population. The immense traffic, both through and loc , d, which must pass upon the line, will afford am?le remuneration to the capitalist. A great art of the line will pass through a country favourable for the construction of a railway, and the remainder presents no difficul ties of a serious character. In the construction of the line, every en deavour will be made to cause the least possible Infringement on the rights or claims of existing railways, or injury to private property. A portion of the shares will be reserved, at the discretion of the Committee, for such railway companies at this line may form junc tions, or be connected with. The liability of each Shareholder will be restricted by Act of Par liament to the amount of his; subscription ; and power will be taken by the Act to - allow interest, at the rate of 41. per centum per an num upon the paid-up capital, from the date of each payment until the completion of the railway.

SECOND EDITION. _ • t LONDON, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 20, 1846. The policy of our Foreign Department is certainly the most inexplicable problem—and has been, for some few years past —which the science of modern Government presents to our observation. It is .perfectly impossible to calculate, before hand, the point to which the forbearance of Downing-street may be extended, or the insignificance and tenuity of the power which it will allow with impunity to heap insults upon our flag and outrages on our fellow subjects. It may be the evidence of a very high strain of generosity, but it is not less the evidence of- a very questionable policy—that in proper . tion to the insignificance of the quarter from whence these affronts proceed is the degree of indifference—we had almost said of favour—which our Government extends to them. We are great favourers of the general principle of non-inter vention, so long as it can be persevered in without the sacri fice of the first duties of states, which, as with individuals, are identified with those of self-defence and self-vindication. To carry it to any point beyond that at which it can only be persisted in through such a sacrifice, is like the attempt to compel respect by manifesting a dignified indifference to the ignominy of a blow. To endure such in solence without chastising it, on the ground that it is offered by some mushroom offspring of political excitement, in every sense of the word weak and contemptible, is to act with that sort of discriminating indulgence which would prompt a passenger by a railway, train, mischievously over set, to decline prosecuting the detected culprit, on his proving to be only an overgrown boy. We make no scruple to as sume a determined attitude with France, - or Russia, or the United States, whenever their demeanour becomes menacing. To some wretched machine of old and worn out government, like that of Spain, some mass . Of incongruous factions and opinions, institutions and establishments in the Old World, only cohering together in virtue of the energy that sustains the conflict of one of its elements with another ; to some ephemeral republic in the New World, which, since its emancipation from the feeble dominion of an exhausted monarchy, has passed through every stage and fluctuation of political change, ever storm of revolution, every degree of moral guilt, every excess of popular anarchy, every sangui nar7 outrage of a remorseless and irresponsible des potism—we show a contrary bearing—we are all placability, all forgiveness. There is no falsehood, however gross, which we do not accept as an apology for the offences committed, when we complain of them. There are no promises, however hollow and without guarantee for their redemption, to which we do not lend a willing and ready ear, when they are proffered. But of all the petty states at whose hands we have thus unaccountably and for years together tolerated unheard-of indignitiel, to our flag and to the lives, and fortunes, and liberty of British subjects, the miserable federation which is represented by the Government at Buenos Ayres is at once the most flagitious, cruel, and in sufferable, The interests of humanity and civilisation have appealed for years past, but in vain, to that British protec tion which till our time was scarcely ever withheld under such exigencies as those in which that appeal has been made. The measure of those offences is now full. The career of those crimes is now consummated, and we cannot, and will not, believe that this country will venture any longer to sus pend the infliction of a signal and righteous vengeance on the ruffian chief, RosAs, whom she has too long permitted with impunity to perpetrnte crimes that are a scandal and disgrace to our common nature, to our age, to our civilisation. We need hardly -rival to the recollection of our • readers the unheard-of barbarities perpetrated by the ▪ troops who, under the command of this execrable chief, in the course of that war which has associated _ . his name and the name of Buenos Ayres, in company with the desolation of the wars of the Uruguay and Argentine Republic to the latest posterity, with reminiscences otrevolt ing tortures, of slaughters in cold blood, and destruction undertaken and persisted in for its own detestable gratifica tion. It is unnecessary to dwell upon the infamies com mitted on the unfortunate Argentine prisoners, who were captured during the investment and siege of Monte Video, or the sport made with the heads and skulls of the massacred Monte Videan soldiery ; or the sufferings to which the English residents in that city were, and still are exposed, together with the enormous losses of property sustained by them during these long-continued operations against it. The more recent sufferings of our countrymen in Buenos Ayres itself; the avowed hostility of ROSAS for foreigners of all kinds, but for the English in particular; the plunder, pillage, and assassination to which the latter hive been long exposed, without one Lund fide effort on the part of ROSAS to prevent or to punish such enor mities ; and all the extravagances of his pretensions to mono polise for Buenos Ayres the whole trade of the River Plate, after accomplishing as a preliminary the ruin of M on t e Video (which is so much nearer to its mouth than Buenos Ayres) ; his refusal to allow the merchant ships of France and England to discharge their cargoes, or even to break bulk at Buenos Ayres, on the preposterous ground of offence assumed " that they had taken in pilots at Monte Video" (and without them they could not hope to reach Buenos Ayres in safety)—these are matters which being, as it were, but of yesterday, must be still more freshly within the public remembrance. But, accustomed as we have too long been to details of horror, to deeds of blood and violence in all the accounts we receive from Buenos Ayres,- the increase of murders and assassinations, some of them committed in open day, on the persons of foreign residents, and too probably of foreign prisoners. also in that city, has now become absolutely hideous. The worst and *darkest epochs of the " reign of terror," the most frightful_excesses of the French Revolution, do not exceed in their blood guiltiness and atrocity, those which, on a smaller scale, are being exhibited under the detestable auspices of Ros As. We published a day Or two ago one of these fearful narratives of murder, rape, and pillage, committed on a Scotch family of nine persons, in broad day, in the immediate vicinity of Buenos Ayres, suppressing, however, some of the details as too revolt ing for our pages. To-day we give insertion to a singularly interesting document—touching and pathetic by its very simplicity, and the absence of all effort to be the one or the other—which has, we fear, but too close a bearing on the story of the atrocious career of Ros As. We allude to the account by General O'BRIEN, formerly a distinguished servant and minister of the Bolivian Republic, of his capti vity and sufferings under the direction of ROSAS, by whom he was perfidiously kidnapped, although at that time in execu tion of an important mission on behalf of an independent state. Of the pusillanimous and inconsistent conduct of our own Minister, the Hon. Mr. MANDEVILLE, we have long since re corded an opinion which this paper too fatally confirms. The ample details, however , giv en in the document itself render farther comment unnecessary. "The casus bells," as the Times observes, "has been already prepared by the absolute inter ruption of our trade with the Argentine Republic, in direct violation of our treaties with that state. Madrid journals of the 11th inat. have been rece cording t o th e l atest accounts t h e QUEEN was at ,as Letters from B arce l ona state t h at t h e M a drid diligence was attacked by b an di tt i about four leagues from that place some days Previous, and th at several of them had been arreste d an d ive V d itto A ri c a: t-itah-Y court-martial. Four men were sentenced to death, and one woman to the galley s for life. On the day after the trial three of the men were shot in their native village. The fourth was rospited in consequence of information which he gave to the authorities, and which led to the arrest of forty persons. The French squadron under Admiral PARBEVAL DESCHENES, consisting of seven ships of the line, passed Bar celona on.the 11th, sailing towards the Balearic Islands.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 5,000 bags, at steady ratesi—There was an active market for shares, and at full prices. The West India letters brought by the Severn steamer were delivered at too late an hour to enable us to give any lengthened extracts. Upon the whole it may be said that the advises are satisfactory. True it is that complaints were made in several of the colonies of the extreme heat of the weather, but it very rarely happens that all parties in the West Indies are satis fied, let the ,seasons be ever so favourable. The different plantations require different weather. The labourers were conducting themselves properly, having returned to their work after the holidays with apparent spirits. The only prices for the British Securities to-day have been Consols for Money, 9814 %, and for the Account, 98% 3 / 4 . The premium upon Exchequer-bills is firm at 475. 495.

The Share market has been brisk this morning, but there bas not been any material variation in the prices. ihe Bris tol and Exeter are on the rise, as well as the Caledonians.

The Midlands have again receded, but most of the other lines are steady. accelerates, and multiplies communication by letter, and renders it accessible, by the lowness of the charge, to all classes, it is no longer possible to defer in France such an amelioration." The same paper publishes a letter, dated Berlin, September 10., which professes to give a " true and faithful" account of the impression made on Queen VICTORIA by her visit to Germany, and at the same time asserts that it was a " coup manqué." The Germans thought the English came for the purpose of introducing their cottons, and her MAJESTY is said to have been disappointed at not finding more crowned heads availing themselves of her presence to meet together and welcome her, and to have been mortified at her husband, Prince ALBERT, having been prevented in some cases from occupy ing his place at her side, his title of Royal Highness not being generally admitted in Germany. Her MAJESTY is also said to have been vexed at the illiberal spirit displayed in the case of her donation towards the fund for the comple tion of the Cathedral of Cologne. No Paris journal is so often imposed upon by 'its correspondents as this official organ. and this letter is only one proof among many others that could be mentioned. The KING, on Tuesday, received at the Chateau d'Eu the Prefect of the . Seine Inferieure, the Sub-Prefect of Dieppe, and Captain LAURENCIN, of the Navy, and transacted business with the Minister of Finances. On the same day the Count DE PARIS, accompanied by Gen. Baron MARBOT and M. REONIER, visited Treport. Sir C. NAI'IER has been residing for some days at Cherbourg, to the wonder and amusement of the good people of that royal seaport. The Phare of Cherbourg says :—" If there are persons who at tach importance to elegance of dress, it is certainly not Admiral NAPIER, who appears to be an original. It would be difficult to find a superior officer more ill-dressed." We subjoin other miscellaneous extracts from the conti nental papers : BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

One of the lieutenants and 23 of the men were drowned, and the major was so much injured that his life is despaired of.

ASSAULT.—Thomas looney, aged 33, a surgeon, was found guilty of a common assault on the person of Sarah Windle, a child of 14 years of age. The RECORDER said that the prisoner's profession greatly increased in the eyes of the Court the offence which had been proved against him, and the punishment would, in consequence, be proportionably heavy. The sentence was, that he be imprisoned for one year in the Westminster Bridewell, and also to enter into his own recognizance in the sum of 1101. to be of good behaviour to all her Majesty's subjects for five years THEFT.—Edward Baker, aged 20, a boot-closer, was charged with having stolen a handkerchief and a pair of slippers, the property of his employer, Isaac Harris, Wych-street, Strand. The evidence of the prosecutor and of an apprentice clearly proved the offence. Sentenced to nine months' imprisonment and hard labour. Alfred Carlik was brought up and informed by the Learned Re corder that judgment would not be passed upon him till next session, but that the period of his detention in prison would be considered when sentence was recorded against him. This concluded the business of the session, and the jury were thanked and dismissed. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert took an airing on Thursday afternoon in the pleasure-grounds of Osborne House. Sir Henry Wheatley arrived at Osborne House on Thurs day, and had the honour of joining the royal circle at dinner. Yesterday morning her Majesty and Prince Albert walked on the beach.

Her Majesty's suite followed in two carriages and four, and included Frances Lady Clinton, Hon. Sophia Wheatley, Hon. Caroline Boyle, Earl Howe, and Sir David Davies. The illustrious party took their departure from the terminus by a special train for Witley-court, Worcestershire. Lord Stanley left town on Thursday for Woburn Abbey, Bedfordshire, on a visit to the Duke of Bedford. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial-office from the Governor of the West India Colonies. GRAND JURY ROOM. (Before the COMMON SERGEANT.) In consequence of the heavy nature of the business, and the great Xiumber of witnesses in attendance, a third Court was held yesterday, before the Common-Sergeant, in the grand jury -room. The only case tried there during the afternoon was the robbery at Messrs. Debenham and Storr's sale-rooms. Dispatches for the Governor of Ceylon, for the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands, and for the Governor of Gibraltar, were sent offyesterday evening from the Colonial office. Mr. George W. Hope, M.P.,, left town on Thursday for Scotland. Thomas Wimbush, aged 39, • was indicted for stealing a casket, a snuff-box. a watch, a quantity of doubloons, value 3001., the property of William Brunifitt Storr and Robert Debenham, in their dwelling-house. Messrs. Wilde and Ballantine were retained for the defence, and Messrs. Clarkson and Bodkin condncted the prosecution. Mr. CLARKSON made a statement of the case to the jury. Mr. Walker was then examined by Mr. Bongtsi—He stated that he is a wa , chmaker, residing at No. 40, Princes-street, Leicester square. The watch produced is one of his manufacture, and has his name on it. It was made three or four years ago. When the watch left his hands it had his address on it. That address is not on it now. It has been effaced by some means. The rest of his evidence was the same as given before the magistrate. Mr. Bullock, an artist, residing at No. 8, Bruton-street, Berkeley square, stated that he purchased the watch two or three years ago from the last witness. Has since had occasion to raise money on it, and he therefore got it pledged at Fleming's, a pawnbroker, in St. Martin's-lane. Witness did not pay the interest on the watch, and when the year expired the watch was forfeited. William Boor, an assistant at the pawnbroker's, stated that he remembers the watch being pledged at his mistress's shop. He did not take it in himself, but it was pledged while he was present. He took down a description of it, and that description corresponds with the watch produced, except that the address has since been erased., Henry Richardson stated that he is a picture-dealer. He remem bers going to see - some articles at Dcbenham and Storr's. lie remem bers looking at a watch. Witness afterwards went to Mr. Walker to inquire if he was the maker of the watch. Witnesss afterwards in formed Mr. Walker of the loss of the watch. James Cloudy stated, that he Is a clerk of Messrs. Pierce, the army-clothiers. Has known the prisoner for twenty years. Has purchased a watch ftom him, but cannot say when he did so. He was not satisfied with the watch, and applied to the prisoner, who gave him another in exchange. Witness was under the impression that he received that watch in June or July, in 1844, but the prisoner in a memorandum of some transactions, stated the watch to have been given in May. The watch was after that in the possession of the prisoner to have a new spring. It remained with him for about a fortnight. After that, witness happened to be passing down Princes-street when he saw the name of Walker over a watchmaker's shop. Thinking that by chance he might be the maker of the watch, he entered the shop, and asked Mr. Walker if he could repair it. Mr. Walker on looking at the watch, said that it had been stolen, and i informed witness that he should go with him down to Debenham and Storr's. . . . Lady and Miss Duncan left. Farrance's Hotel, Belgrave• square, yesterday, for Malta rid Paris. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) COWES, SEPT. 19. GRAND ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON MATCH FOR 1,0001. Peter Spiller stated that he is foreman to Messrs. Debenham and Storr. In the mouth of April, 1844, there was a sale which lasted for three days--viz., the 16th, 17th, and 18th. Amongst the articles for sale were some portions of property from Miss Fleming's. There was a gold watch, numbered in the catalogue, 575. There was also a golden casket, weighing about thirty-one ounces, and a quantity of doubloons. That property was all right on Tuesday. At half-past twelve o'clock on Wednesday witness found that the casket was missing. The casket was placed at the end of the sale-room farthest from the door. The other articles were in glass cases behind the counter. The counter was passed by a sort of trap-door, which lifted up. Those parties frequenting the room who were known to be respectable men were allowed behind the counter to inspect the articles in the glass cases. The prisoner was present at the sale before twelve o'clock. He was in the habit of attending the sales, and was allowed behind the counter. Witness saw the prisoner at the glass case where the watch was placed. The watch was in the possession of witness between nine and ten o'clock on the morning of the robbery. The prisoner, when he heard of the robbery, was one of the parties who offered to be searched. The robbery must have been effected by more than one person. There was no other watch like the one pro duced in the sale on that day. There were a great many persons in the room at the time. This match between the Duke of Marlborough's yacht and Mr. Henry Hope's has terminated most unsatisfactory. Every one thought them mad to start in such weather but they had not calculated on their so soon giving in ; they rounded the Nab under the sail they started with, namely, two storm trysails, fore-staysail and storm-jib, and attempted to beat down channel against the southwest gale, when off Ventnor the Wyvern sprung her jibboom, bore up and run into Shanklin bay, and reached Cowes at 11.30 P.M. yesterday ; the Zeph) retta continued on for a short time, then gave in, and run for Portsmouth, having sustained considerable damage, considering the tonnage of these vessels (about 200 each). How they were equipped and manned they ought to have been equal to any weather, and for the credit of their builders we should hope they are; but we guess we have seen some fruit schooners that would not have put back. The match is now at an end, and the money has been drawn, or this would have been. a fine day .for the start; the weather has set in fine,. the barometer .which was yesterday 28.97. is now 29.57. .The Duke had four gentlemen from Woodstock, enjoying them selves in aquatics—two of them farmers, one his land steward, the other a Dr. Palmer ; they, as they had been sailing in the yacht, could not withstand the temptation of this trip to the Fddystone, or were persuaded into it. We will not attempt to write their description of what they saw and felt in their struggle with the gale, as we under stand they intend to publish their voyages and "travels on their return home. The part they have told has created great mirth among their hearers, and we doubt very much if they will ever again. be tempted on board of a yacht engaged in a sailing match.

He is in the habit of frequenting the sales and making purchases. There are many persons who live by that means. Articles of this description are passed Prom one dealer to another with a very small increase of profit. The prisoner attended the sales as usual after the robbery. buying and selling articles as he had previously done. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. OPENING OF THE TUNBRIDGE WELLS LINE. Yesterday the Tunbridge Wells line, a new tributary to the traffic of the South-Eastern Railway, was opened by the Directors of that Company, who started by special train from the Bricklayers' Anns station at eleven o'clock, accompanied by several of the Share holders. Amongst the Company were Mr. M'Gregor, of Liverpool, Chairman of the Directors ; Lord Viscount Torrington, General ?Haley, the Inspector-General ; Mr. Peter Barlow, the resident en gineer ; Captain O'Brien, Mr. Adcock, and others. At Tunbridge another special train was in readiness for the experimental trip over the newly-formed line, which is a curiosity in railway construction, from the fact of its being commenced twelve months before the Act was obtained, and of its being complete within a few weeks from re ceiving the royal imprimature in last session. Its completion places Kent and the metropolis in possession of a direct and delightful summer rendezvous. The line is five miles long, and intersects the headings of the ancient iron-works of the country. • At present it is on;y open to the temporary station at Jackwood's spring, about a quarter of a mile from Tunbridge Wells. The permanent station will be in the centre of the town, and is approached by a tunnel 800 yards long, under a portion of it. The works to the temporary station have been heavy, there having been half a million yards of earthwork or cuttings, chiefly in rock. There is also a tunnel of a quarter of a mile near Lomer-hill Park. The line was commenced in July, 1844, as a single line ; and in April, 1845, it was determined to make it double. The cost to Jackwood's Spring, including land, has been 100,0001. ; and the extension into Tunbridge Wells will be 80,0001. more. The line passes near Lomer hill Park, the residence or mansion of James Alexander, Esq., and near Colebrook Park, the residence of Benjamin Smith, Esq. An elegant viaduct, 254 yards in length, with 30 arches, carries the line over Powder Mill Valley. Mr. Hoof has been the contractor for the Works, and they have been carried out under the engineering of Mr. Barlow, son of the professor. The whole line was flocked with spectators welcoming the first locomotive to Tunbridge, and as the whistle echoed back the welcome, the military band at the station struck up " See the conquering Hero comes." Several free train trips took place during the day between Tun bridge and Maidstone, giving an opportunity to the inhabitants of experiencing gratuitously the first fruits and effects of those facilities which the newly opened line is calculated to confer upon Tunbridge. During the day the labourers were substantially regaled, and the Directors and their friends sat down to a sumptuous entertainment at the Sussex Hotel. Mr. John Sturt stated that he is a clerk 'in the employment of Messrs. Debenham and Storr. Remembers the robbery at the sale rooms. On the following morning witness was in the office ; the prisoner was also there. Witness received directions to go round to all the bullion dealers in the city, and inform them of the rob bery, and caution them as to purchasing property of this nature_. It was a quarter to one o'clock when witness received these di rections. In consequence of the instructions he received he left the office, and was proceeding down Bedford-street, when ho was followed by the prisoner, who asked him where he was going to? Witness replied, " Into the City." The prisoner then inquired if he had dined ; and on witness saying that he had not, he proposed that they should dine together, and afterwards go into the City, when he (prisoner) would inform him of the best places to give informa tion, and of those places where his information was useless. Witness accompanied him to Maiden-lane, and they dined together. In the course of conversation at dinner the prisoner said that he believed in spector Pearce was the officer employed by the house. Witness re marked his manner as he said this, and from further circumstances his suspicions were aroused, and he excused himself on some pre tence, and returned by a roundabout way to his master's office. On reaching the door of the sale-rooms he was surprised to see the pri soner already there. Witness went up to him, and the prisoner in quired what occasioned his return ? Witness said that he had for gotten something, and then made a communication to Mr: Deben ham. On coming out he found the prisoner there, and on stating that he was about to go round to the bullion-dealers, the prisoner proposed that lie should accompany him to the Blue Boar, in 1101- born, to see his wife off' to Bedford. Witness went as far as the Blue Boar, and then excusing himself, he went round to the bullion dealers. _ . Edward Collingridge stated that he resides at Clerkenwell, and is a gilder and a refiner. Witness purchased some gold from the prisoner in April, 1844. It was in the form of what is called a skillet, or fiat piece of metal. The simple furnace of a common jeweller would be amply sufficient to melt such a quantity of gold. It weighed 11 oz. 14dwts. Witness gave hint 141. 4s. 3d. for it. He never dealt with the prisoner on so large a scale before. William Pocock, an officer, stated that he took the prisoner into custody, He told him that it was for the robbery at Debeilham and Storr's, and mentioned the circumstance of his having sold the watch. The prisoner said that he bought it at a sale at Robins's, in Covent garden. Mr. Robins was called. He produced the catologues of his sales since April, 1844, and no such watch was sold by him. Mr. BALLAICTINI addressed the jury in defence, and called several witnesses, who gave the prisoner an excellent character. After deliberating an hour and a half, the jury returned into court with a verdict of Guilty, but strongly recommended the pri soner to mercy. The COMMON SERGEANT said that it was his intention to transport the prisoner, but in consequence of the recommendation of the jury, the sentence was that he be imprisoned and kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for two years. CITY REGISTRATION.—In some of the papers of this morning it is stated that 249 Liberals and 154 Tories were ex punged yesterday from the list. The reverse Is the fact-249 Tories and 154 Liberals are the real numbers, thus giving an advantage of 95 on the Livery lists alone to the Reform party. DETERMINED SUICIDE OF A GENTLEMAN IN THE REGENT'S PAaa.,Last night an. Inquest was held by Mr. Mills, De puty Coroner for Middlesex, In the Board-room of St. Marylebone Workhouse, on view of the body of a gentleman, apparently between 50 and 60 years of age, presumed to be a foreigner, who committed suicide in the Regent's-park by shooting himself, under the following circumstances :—The first witness .examined was police-constable Harris, D 112, who stated that about three o'clock yesterday morn ing he was on duty in Sussex-place, Regent's-park, when he heard the report of firearms. lle immediately repaired to the spot whence the sound proceeded, and • discovered the deceased lying against the iron railings which inclose the ornamental water, blood issuing from his mouth, and apparently lifeless. Ile spraug his rattle, and sergeant Granger responding to the alarm, witness ran for Mr. Guy, surgeon, Upper Baker-street, who returned with him, and declared deceased to be dead. Deceased was on his back on the ground, and the Angers of his right oand were partially bent, and within two Inches of a pocket pistol, which had only evidently recently been discharged. De ceased's hat and wig (black) were by his side. Witness assisted in carrying him to the workhouse, where he has as yet not been identified. The witness here described the dress worn by deceased, as also the property found on him, which were as follows : —A braided top brown coat, with beneath an olive-brown dress coat,, a silk white, yellow, and black vest, a chocolate-coloured scarf, black trousers, and socks, with Wellington boots, a silk hat, maker's name " Dedent, Paris;" linen shirt, initials in pink silk, "E. 11., No. I." On his person was a gold watch (Lessine, maker), a gold pin enamel top, four small steel keys, and a pistol loaded to the muzzle, and which, on comparison, proved to be the fellow one to that which had been discharged. The pistols were quite new, but no name on them, and every article which deceased wore also seemed to be new and of foreign texture. In his waistcoat pockets there was found a purse of green, red, and white silk, and a mother-of-pearl eye-glass, with eight shillings and fourpence in silver. Sergeant Granger, 2t 21, gave corroborative testimony, adding that deceased was five feet ten inches in height, of very muscular frame, grey eye brows, and very nearly bald. To give time for publicity to be given to the melancholy catastrophe and the identification of the body, the inquiry was adjourned till seven o'clock on Wednesday evening next. R. L. Sheil, Esq., ALP., and family, left South ampton yesterday, for Madeira, in the West India stacm-paeket, the Tweed. ARTESIAN WELLS IN TRAFALGAR-SQUARE.—Yes- terday workmen commenced laying down a main from the reservoirs in Orange-street, to supply the adjacent St. George's barracks, from whence another main will be carried across St. James's Park to Buckingham Palace. This will complete the whole intended supply of buildings and offices connected with the Government, by which a very considerable saving will be effected. The supply of water con tinues undiminished, 500 gallons being raised per minute, which, by a few additional strokes of the engine, is raised to 800 gallons. Whilst this large supply is obtained, none of the wells or springs of the neigh bourhood have become exhausted or dry, as was anticipated. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN THE ADELPHI THEATRE. —On Thursday evening the attention of the audience of the Adelphi Theatre was for a moment engrossed by a loud scream from a re spectably attired female in the pit, who was forthwith carried out of the theatre in a state of insensibility, and was promptly at tended by a surgeon, who, finding that she had taken poison, directed her immediate removal to Charing-ems Hospital, where it was ascertained that she had swallowed a small quan tity of the oil of Edmonds. A half-ounce phial, nearly full of the poison, was found in her possession, but she cou'd not have taken more than two or three drops. Her friends who were with her in the theatre, and with whom she resided in Duke-street, Adelphi, followed her to the hospital. It appeared that her name was Elizabeth Millington, aged eighteen, but nothing could be as certained as to her possession of the poison. She possesses great personal attractions, and unrequited love is stated to have been the cause of the somewhat peculiar but rash attempt she made at self destruction. She remains at the above institution, in an extremely weak state of body, from the powerful effect of the poison. INCENDIARISM AT THE LODGE OF WILLIAM EIISFEILD, ESQ., M.P.—Yesterday information was forwarded to the Metropolitan and City Police that, on the night of the I ith instant, some vile incendiary set fire to the lodge of William Busfeild, Esq., of Upwood, near East Morton, in the parish of Bingley. The flames were, however, fortunately discovered before its demolition took place. But what could have induced the parties to have eommitted such a diabolical act is a matter of great surprise, as Mr. Busfeild is stated to be much respected by his tenantry and those with whom he is acquainted. A reward of 201. is offered for the apprehension and conviction of the offender or offenders. EAST SURREY REGISTRATION.—Mr. Fish sat yes terday at the Vestry-hall, Camberwell, to revise the lists of Christ church, Newington, and some other parishes. Mr. E. Meymott at tended as the Conservative agent, and Mr. R. Russell, Mr. Jeans, and Mr. Davis appeared on behalf of the Liberals. The vote of the Earl of Eldon was objected to, on the ground that he was a Peer. The objection was allowed by the Revising Barrister, and notice was given of an appeal to the Court of Common Pleas, in order to have the case fully tried. • SALE OF AGRICULTURAL PROPERTY.—Yesterday at the Auction Mart, the Lifton estate, with its mansion, park, plan tations, and fisheries, was offered for public competition by Messrs. Hoggart and Co., and attracted the notice of many large capitalists. It is situated near Launceston, Cornwall, and comprised about 4,580 acres, returning an income of about 8,7001. per annum. It contained several large farms, varying from 30 to 200 acres, and above. After much competition, the sum finally offered for it was 209,5001., but at which it was stated to have been bought in. THE STATE APARTMENTS AT WINDSOR CASTLE. — Considerable fears are entertained by the inhabitants of Windsor, that it is in contemplation to close the State apartments at the Castle, at no very distant period, in consequence of that magnificent suite of rooms being required for the occupation of her Majesty and the Prince Consort, and the infant royal fatuity. These fears have been occasioned chiefly by an announcement, from authority, to the effect that the office of State Housekeeper is to be aboltahed, that Lady Mary Fox is to have compensation granted to her for the loss of " housekeeper's fees," and that these apartments, fir the future, are to be placed under the custody of the Lord Chamberlain. Only five of the State apartments, out of the thirteen, have been shown to visitors for several mouths. Six have been entirely closed for up, wards of a year; while the throne and bag rooms have been Merely shown by the visitors proceeding through a portion of them between a roped passage. It is stated that when the new arrangements come into effect, the public will still be enabled to view these apartments, upon obtaining a ticket from the Lord Chamberlain. PROOF OF IDENTITY.—Those who have attended in London for the purpose of signing the Parliamentary contract of railway companies, are aware Hint some eViden:x that TheYreally are the persons they profess to be is required. A little time since, the identity of a gentleman from Banbury being questioned, he, not having about hint such documents as in other cases had been satis factory, at length, irritated by the, expressed doubt, offered, as a last resort, to produce the tail of his shirt, on which his name at fall leno4 might be nil DEATH OF THE COUNTESS CADOGAN.—We regret to learn that Countess Cadogan died at Wiesbaden on Friday, the 12th instant, the Countess having resorted to that spa with the view of benefiting her health, which, during the previous six months, had become extremely impaired. The deceased Countess was fourth daughter of Mr. Joseph Blake, of Ardfry, and consequently sister of the first Lord Wallscourt, and aunt of the preseht lord. Her lady ship married the Earl Cadogan on the 4th of April, 1810, and leaves issue, Viscount Chelsea, M.P., Ladies Augusta rand Honoria Cado gan, the Hon. Captain George and Hop. Fred. Wm. Cadogan. BATHS AND WASH-HOUSES FOR THE POOR.—The Association for Promoting Cleanliness amongst the Poor have pub lished their first quarter's report, from which it appears that the num ber of poor persons who bathed and washed their clothes at the asylum in Glasshouse-street was 13,422, being on the average more than 1,000 a•week. Of these 6,318 bathed, and 7,104 washed their clothes, The number of articles washed was 61,585. The bathers consisted of 2,389 English, 3,643 Irish, 161 Scotch, 52 Welsh and 73 foreigners. The Association affords its accommodation gratuitously, and is dependent on subscriptions (which are received by Messrs. Williams, Deacon, and Co., Birchin-lane) for its support. The expense averages within a very trifling fraction of I)4d. per head. Two baths and six wash-tubs, for the use of those who choose to pay 2d . f or a warm-bath, and Id. an hour for the use of a tub, and the drying closet, have lately been added. BIRTHS'.

Among the respectab l e inhabi- througi ca e • tants who were present at the meeting , were Mr. T h o ma s Adams, to which, even now, his own after-achievements ee ., the Vicar's Warden, and the whole of the overseers of the par i sh. alone afford any parallel, for the suddenness , the v,,,,ebßo mence, and the completeness of the operations. 'id. much of his suceess was derived from the mechaniea".eut herence of his adversaries to the formal rules of arielo• tactics cannot be doubted ; and our Wellington's e(ishe paigns would, in the same circumstances, and ha aa al been opposed to similar antagonists, in all likelliw-e% have been as brilliant and decisive.

After the " of Asperne he displayed more skill, as well as COnst:bieb than in all his previous campaigns ; and the struggle t og he made in France, during the dreadful conflict the preceded his downfal, is by many regarded a s t hat masterpiece of his military life.
