RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. 21ANCHESTER AND BIRMINGHAM CON TINUATION AND WELSH JUNCTION RAIL WAY. A highly-respectable meeting of the inhabitants of the borough of Aberystwlth was held on Monday afternoon, at the Town Had, for the purpose of having laid before them the report of the Directors of the above projected railway, as to the present position of the Company, and the merits and advan tages of theline itself. The meeting was convened by the Mayor. The object of this project is to put the port of Aberystwith in railway communication with the manufac turing districts of Staffordshire, Lancashire, and Yorkshire; or, in the terms of the prospectus, "to connect South and North Wales, the improving and important post arid fashionable watering-place of Aberystwith, Shropshire and Cheshire, &c., with Manchester, Lancashire, Staffordshire, the Potteries, Derbyshire, and the north-east of England." The Company originally intended to carry out the whole of the line from Crewe to Aberystwith, but an arrangement has been entered into between them and the Birmingham and Manchester Company, under which the latter will complete the portion of the works between Crewe and Whitchurch. From Whitchurch the line takes its course to Ellesmere and Oswestry, through a country presenting no engineering diel_ culties. Between Oswestry and Welshpool it strikes the valley of the Severn, which it follows some miles beyond Llanidlees, where, by a tunnel of about a mile and half, apparently the only heavy work throughout the whole course of the line, it reaches the valley of the Rheidol, down ehich it proceeds, al most on a level, to the port of Aberystwith. We thus notiee the line, because, in our journey to Aberystwith, we passed over the greater portion of it, and were struck with the re markable facilities which the valleys of the Severn and the Rheidol present for the construction of a railroad into the most mountainous recesses of the principality. It appears that a meeting of the inhabitants of Aberystvrith was held in May last, at which they pledged themselves to sup port the projected line, and the meeting of Monday was con vened in order that the project might again come before them in a more matured shape. The gentlemen who attended the meeting as a deputation were Sir John E. de Beauvoir, Mr. David Waddington (Deputy Chairman of the Manchester and Birmingham Company ), Mr. R. Watkins, one of the Direc tors of the Brighton and Chichester Company; Mr. W. B. Prichard, the engineer; and Mr. J. Bethell, the Solicitor of the Company. Mr. Evans (the Mayor) was in the chair. The advertisement by which the meeting had been convened having been read, The Mavoa said—Gentlemen would bear in mind that a meeting of the inhabitants was held in May last, at which the projected railway was unanimously approved as a project iikely to confer great benefits upon the inhabitants of Aberystwith. —( Hear.) He would, in now bringing the subject before them, merely state that, firmly believing a railway from the manufacturing districts of Yorkshire, Lancashire, and Stafford shire would be of the greatest possible advantage to the borough, he was sure every attention would be paid to the gen tlemen who had done the inhabitants the honour to attend for Site purpose of laying before them the merits of the projected undertaking.—(Hear.) He would, without further taking up their time, intrcduce to them Mr. Waddington, the Deputy. Chairman of the Manche-ter and Birmingham Railway. Mr. WADDINGTON said—Gentlemen, when the promoters of the Manchester and Birmingham and Welsh Junction Railway received an official communication from yourself (the Mayor), announcing that at a meeting held in this borough on the 6th of May you pledged yourselves to support a railway to run from Crewe to Aberystwith, those gentlemen placed themselves in communication with the Directors of the Man chester and Birmingham Railway, whose line they proposed to join at Crewe. I, as deputy-chairman of that Company, had the honour of receiving a deputation from the promoters of the intended railway ; and having conferred with them upon th e proposed j unc ti on w ith our line at Crewe, I made inquiries as to the possibility of the project, and, as far as I pos sibly could, I endeavoured to ascertain whether it was likely to prove a remunerative line to its promoters, and was suer A one as the Birmingham and Manchester Company could legitimately and, to themselves, advantageously assist. The result of that investigation—and it was a careful and searching investigation—was that the Birmingham and Manchester Com pany entered heartily into the scheme, and four of their board joined, as you will see by the prospectus, the directory of the new company, and I now appear before you in a double capa city—as deputy chairman of the Birmingham Company, and as a director of the Manchester and Birmingham Continuation and Welsh Junction Railway. I think it right to state this, as I confess we should not have supported the line, if we had not felt that it had the hearty support of the inhabitants of this dis trict, and that it was calculated to develop the resources, and as it were, create a traffic along its entire course. The im portance of the arrangement which has been effected be tween the new company and the Birmingham and Manches ter Company, is so evident, that were I speaking to gentle men conversant with railway matters, it would be altogether unnecessary for me to:say a word upon the subject ; but as the subject of railways can, I should presume, scarcely have been so much discussed, or can be so well understood by you as by those who are living in the midst of them, enjoying their con venienre and accommodation, and, of course, understanding their various operations, perhaps it may not be out of place if I detail to you the advantages accruing to a projected line from its junction with another railway possessing a good ter minus. You might carry out the railway from Crewe to Aberystwith, and develop, as I believe will be developed, a good and paying traffic, but having done so, the next step would be to avail yourself OR reasonable terms of the advantages of a railway having a good terminus in the heart of the districts with which it was your object to place yourselves in communication.—( Hear, hear.) Now, the arrangements entered into between the promoters of the projected line and the Birmingham and Manchester Company afford these advantages, and they afford them on the most rea sonable and liberal terms.—( Hear.) In truth, gentlemen, the Birmingham and Manchester Company are treating with the promoters of the n e w p ro j ec t u p on th e mos t liberal terms.— (Cheers.) They are supporting its formation, and will be happy, when it is formed, to enter upon that equitable co operation which they have already determined upon carrying into effect.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I have said that I made every possible inquiry into the merits of the proposed line before I consented to give it my support. The result of that inquiry, and the information I have since obtained, con vince me that not only will it, by its connexion with the Bir mingham and Manchester Railway, place the whole of those great manufacturing districts in communication with Wales, but that it will, when the lines now being applied for shall have been completed, place also Huddersfield, Leeds, and the whole of Yorkshire, in communication with a large portion of the principality.--( Hear, hear.) In short it will place the whole of the district through which it passes in railway communication with Edinburgh to the north, and London and Portsmouth is the south. lam sure, gentlemen, you will consider these are important points to bear in mind considering the project now before you. And, gen tlemen, in reflecting upon these facts you must not view them as relating only to the commercial intercourse which the pro jected line will facilitate between Wales and the great manu facturing districts of the north : you are not to forget that Aberystwith, though greatly admired as a watering-place, and justly celebrated for the beauty of its surrounding scenery, is wet so out of the way, as well from the difficulty of getting across the country to It as from its distance, that compa ratively few persons come down amongst you. The place is very beautiful, that we all admit, and we of the 1 manufacturing districts I speak of Lancashire, York mire, Birmingham, Staffordshire, and other places— would be very happy to get down here if we had time, and perhaps some of us might say, if the expense of getting down here were not so great, I know of no place that the inhabitant of the district I have spoken of could prefer as a summer residence for his family; but if he were willing to incur the trouble arid expense of sending four or five children and his domestics down, he would, I am sure, be quite un willing to separate himself from his family—for a separation it would certainly be with the present mode of conveyance —(Hear)—inasmuch as it would occupy the greater part of the week in travelling to and fro between Manchester or Birmingham and Aberystwith.—( Hear.) If a railway were carried between this town and Crewe, such is the favour able nature of the gradients, that the Manchester merchant cr the Birmingham iron-master m i g h t l eave his counting house at one o clock on Saturday, and reach his family at Aberystwith at five o'clock the same afternoon.—( Hear, hear.) He might remain here the whole of Sunday, leave by an early train—say at six o'clock on the Monday morning, arid reach his office in Manchester or Birmingham at ten o'clock.—( Hear.) We now go from Manchester to Crewe by the express train in 40 minutes, the distance is 31 miles, and as the distance between Manchester and Aberystwith will be about 130 miles, you will perceive that at the same rate of speed the journey between those places could be made in something less than four hours.—( Hear, hear.) It may be said, it has been :said, that " You have seaports nearer than Aberystwith." It is true we have a sea coast which commands and will continue to command, its thousands of visitants, but we lave nothing of that which renders Aberystwith so delightful to all those who have the means and time to visit it, nor have we the delightful scenery through which the proposed line passes in its course.—( Hear.) We know that gentlemen from the manufacturing districts, when they visit a watering-place, are overtaken, like all other gentlemen, by ennui, and that a sea beach alone will not at all times serve to relieve the mind or offer sufficient attractions to induce a lengthened or renewed visit ; but here you have, as I have already noticed, a delightful country, where new and striking objects meet the eye in every direction, a country which, if I may be permitted to judge from what I have my selt felt, has only to be visited to be admired. And I may litre mention that this line, joining as it does the Birmingham and Manchester Railway at Crewe, has an advantage which no other scheme for accommodating Aberystwith could possibly afford—l mean that of being in direct csorsimunication with the immense wealth of the manufacturing districts of Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Birmingham and Staffordshire. As to the Worcester and Cheltenham districts, you have at present some portion thereof, but the completion of the project will, as I have said, throw open the whole of Birmingham and its neigh bourhood to you, so that you will have a communication with that densely populated portion of the country, in addition e to what I consider belongs essentially to you—viz , the direct, the only line of railway communication with the manteacturingdis iricts of the north, so that it will possess great and most superior merits over any other line that can be projected. I repeat that it combines the advantage of opening a railway route to the manufactures of the north, with the advantage of cornmunica tag equally with the south. The port of Aberystwith is, too, I tarn informed, thirty miles nearer London than Fishguard ; this is an important point in reference to our trade withethe'south of Ireland, and is well worthy of our consideration. There ran be on doubt, therefore, that Aberystwith is the port from which the manufactures of the north of England could be most !speedily and most economically shipped for Wexford, and that in connexion with the line from the latter place to }3antry B a y, th e propose d railway through Crewe and Aberyst ,.eth, would become en important channel of communication th tween Lancashire, Yorkshire, Staffordshire, and the cur s einding districts with America. But it may be said that .Aberystwith cannot accommodate such a traffic ; that there is list sufficient water for vessels _of heavy ton nage . N ow, I fi nd from the able report of cantyour harbour-ma s t er , t h at at a very p moderate coat y our be made to b e secon d to none on the coast ; an d that as alh ar b our of refuge, it presents strong cairns, might havetheufficient eight hours out of twelve, sa scimit steamerstlaege enough vi t a c t :c r a ' rry the whole of the Irish tr,iffic. In spealc„int..roafpptheearsprtleactted railroad, the harbour master says s— ucnoiacsatt i o o n f by steam is open from Aberystwith a ddtiorectlite communication Jr eland—viz, by Wexford, Arklo America.n Wicklow, and direct through to Valencia and thence to' a to be a more direct line from Londonthan Phis appears Holyhead, Fishguard, or Milford. The distance.il across the bay and St. George's Channel, bein g a b out 8o with Ireland would be obtained ''—he i s speakin es g,' g a tradea°sn, in reference to the railroad being carr i ed to Ab e er )set ms - with—" And many families would emb race the opporturdt of coming to Aberyt.with from Ireland ; an d, on the othe r band, those resident in Here fordshire, Shropshire, and other places adjacent, would be able to visit that country. A t present it is almost an impossibility to visit any of those places. The railroad would not only afford great accommodation to these who desired to travel through the country, but open the markets both of Ireland and Wales. "—( Hear, hear.) The harbour-master goes on to say, " The harbour once com pleted, Aberystwith will become one of the most important sea-ports in Wales. Vessels with cargoes, instead of being wind-bound for weeks in the Channel, as they now frequently are, could then put in to Aberystwith, and discharge their car goes, which could be carried direct to Birmingham, Manches ter, or elsewhere by railway, and thus the cargo might be saved and the town benefited."—( Bear.) Your port, it is said, has not sufficient water for large vessels, Gentlemen, lam here to-day to tender you the assistance of the Company to make Aberystwith what it ought to be. We have not entered into this project without calculating our resources, and looking to the natural advantages of your port. ldo not hesi tate to say that you shall have our cordial and hearty co-opera tion, and that support which is best known by the term of breeches-pocket support, for making Aberystwith a port for the accommodation of the traffic which the projected railway is calculated to bring into it.—( Hear, hear. ) An important point to which I would refer is, that of the mineral resources of the district.—( Hear, hear.) Throughout the whole course of the proposed railway the price of that necessary article in the working of mines—l mean coal—is exceedingly high.—( Hear, heir.) The cost at which coal is carried per ton per mile by railway is generally calculated at a penny ; but, w hen carried over a considerable portion of a line, perhaps three farthings per ton per mile would be a remunerative charge, but taking it at Id. per ton per mile, we should then be able to supply this article to the towns of Welshpool,Newtown, Llanidloes, A beryst wit h, and the other places through which we purpose passing, at a much lower rate than they now obtain it—for instance, we shall enable Welshpool to obtain coal at Bs. per ton ; New town, 9s. per ton ; Llanidloes, 1( 1 1 per ton; and Aberystwith, at I Is. 6d. per ton.—(Loud cheers.) And gentlemen will bear in mind that the railway will afford a plentiful supply of coal at all times at ach ap rate—( Hear, hear)--and 1 say this because 1 understand this port has not always enjoyed the ad vantase of a regular supply of that necessar:, article of domestic ec, rionty.—( Hear. ) I am informed there are mines in this district which cannot he worked, because the price of the coal by the time it reaches them is so high as to prevent the working of them at a profit.— ( Hear, hear.) Now the line we have marked out will amply accommodate the mining industry of the districts through which it passes, and what tie propose is this, that we in the north will not only scud you c he e p co a l t o enable you to work your mines at a pat, but we will enable you at the same time to carry your minerals to a good market.— ( Hear.) So tar as to the capabilities of the line, and now as to the position we at present occupy. The line, as I have stated, was commenced with the hearty concurrence of the Birmingham and Manch( ster Railway Company : the deposits have been paid with the greatest alacrity, and the elements of prosperity are so tangible that I have no hesitation in giving it my hearty support.—( Hear, hear.) Filling the position Ido in the railway world, and taking a prominent and most active part in the management of the Birmingham and Man chever Company, and having a pretty extensive knowledge of railway matters, I think I may without presumption say that my position es well as my own interest must have induced me to look closely, anti, perhaps I may be per mitted to say, clearly into the new project before I joined it. At least I assure you I endeavoured to do so. The board also proceeded with due care and consideration, for they refused to allot the shares till they had a report from their engineer as to the cost of the line. That report, I am happy to state, was most satisfactory, for I should observe that although they never for a moment doubted the line would develop a large traffic, they yet had some mis givir•.g as to the cost of the line. This was not to be wondered at when the nature of the country between Crewe and Aberyst with is considered. Many have treated the project of a rail way between the two places as an imaginary scheme, and some have said we might as well propose a railway to the moon; we therefore were the more anxious to obtain a full report from the engineer as to the cost of the works. That report has satisfied us that the line, so far from being a difficult and coesequently an expensive one, wi.l be one without any en gineeriffg difficulties, and cost a comparatively small sum per m.le. In saying this Ido not merely repeat what our engi neer has reported to us, I have gone over the line myself, and find there will be scarcely any embankments or cuttings, so favourable is the country through which it passes, and that there is but one tunnel, and that of about a mile and a half in length, throughout the whole course.— ( Hear, hear.) I may conclude by stating that the pro posed line will facilitate the carriage of agricultural produce from Wales to the manufacturing districts, and the re turn to the principality of manufactured goods; it will open a new and lovely sea-bathing place to Birmingham, the Potte rica, Manchester, Liverpool, and the manufacturing districts ; it will afford, by means of the port, the shortest route to the south of Ireland for the tran.mission of the staple commodities of the districts I have alluded to, and the return to those places of the agricultural produce of the sister kingdom ; it will also afford the shortest route to America, through Bantry or Va lentia, from the greatest part of England, and perhaps from London, and will, by bringing down the coal from Rhuabon, greatly impro se the working of your mines. And now, before I sit down, let me remind you of this well-known fact, that every railway proceeding from a manufacturing district to a port has been a remunerating undertaking. Gentlemen, I have had great pleasure in submitting these details to you, and if I have nut done so as clearly as you could wish. I can only say I have been most anxious to do so.—(Cheers.) Mr. Davis asked for information as to the course the line took out of Aberystwith. Mr. PRICHARD said that from Aberystwith it would pro. ceed up the valley of the Rheidol, and passing through a tunnel at Banc Nant Rhuys, come out at Llangurig. An inquiry was made as to the population along the line, and as to engineering character. Mr. PRICHARD said the line, after leaving Whitchurch, to which place front Crewe the railway would be made by the Birmingham and Manchester Company, proceeded to Wrix hall Moss and Welshampton to Ellesmere, servirg a popula• tion of 12,000. Fi um this town a branch would be carried to the Rhuabon coal-fields, which, with the neighbourhood, comprised a population of 3,000; the main line continuing on to Oswestry, where, with its neighbourhood, a popula tion of 12,000 was accommodated. Here the line followed the course of the Severn to Welshpool (which, with its neighbourhood, had a population of 8,000) and kept the valley to Newtown and Llanidloes. In this district a popu lation of 12,000 would have the benefit of the railroad. The line continued to follow the course of the Severn as far as Llangurig, a distance of 80 miles from Crewe; and the whole of this portion of the line was remarkably easy, running in deed almost on the surface of the ground throughont. From Llangurig they had for a short distance some heavy works, the only one of which deserving notice was the tunnel under Banc Nant Rhuys. By this tunnel they were enabled to reach the valley of the Rheidol, down which they proceeded t•i Aber) sta ith. There was not a single engineering difficulty throughout the line, and responsible contractors were prepared to execute the whole of the line at 13,000/. per mile. Mr. Pritchard then went into a very comprehensive statement of the benefits which it is anticipated will be derived by the ma nufacturing districts of Lancashire, Yorkshiro, and Stafford. shire, as well as by the principality itself, from the completion of the projected railroad, and expressed his desire to afford any information the meeting might require respecting the project. A question was put to Mr. Pritchard as to the branches which might be thrown out from the main line. Mr. PRICHARD said he had received instructions from the Director- to survey a branch from Llangarne by the valley of the Wye to Rhayader, and by the way of Builth to Brecon. This would bring them into communication with Newport. Monmouth, Cardiff, Abergavenny, Merthyr Tydvil, Neat!), &c. He had also received instructions to survey an extension from Aberystwith to Llanafar, Tregaron, Lampeter, Newcastle ; Emlyn, Newport, to Fishguard. Mr. WADDINGTON said those lines were of course not be fore the meeting. Mr. PRICHARD said, that with respect to the harbour of Aberystwith, he had received the instructions of the Directors to examine and report upon its capabilities, with a view to as certain what improvement could be made. He had made in quiries into the matter, and he pledged his character to the statement—that the port could at an expense of 10,0001. be made fit for the reception of steamers at every state of the tide.--( Hear. ) Mr. WA DDI NGTON---I have pleasure in stating there will be no difficulty whatever in raising that sum.—( Cheers. ) `.lr. Pascua R.D, in answer to some further questions stated, that from Crewe to Llangurig, eighty miles, the line would run almost on the surface of the ground, and that there was not on that portion a single cutting or embankment of more than twenty feet. The earth at Banc Nant Rhuys was very good, and the tunnel there would not want lining. .Ir. J. HUGHES said the more the subject was discussed, the more he was satisfied that the projected railroad would be beneficial to Aberystwith and the principality, he, therefore, had great pleasure in moving, " That this meeting, having heard the report of the Directors, are much pleased with the same, and will give the railway their cordial support." Mr. J. TEA LE seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. A vote of thanks was then given to the deputation who had attended, and the customary compliment having been passed to the Chairman, the meeting broke up. )EVON AND C ORN WALL RAILWAYS. A Correspondent from Tavistock writes:—" have lately had a spirited deputation from the Bideford and Tavistock Railway Company, visiting the towns on their line, and carry ing all a , ong with them. Since the deputation left the county a report has got abroad that the plans of the Company have become more extensive than they were, and that instead of the Company confining itself to a three-armed junction between BideMrd on the north, Tavistock (and so on to Plymouth) on the south, and Crediton (and so on to Exeter) on the east, it is said that the Company intend to run a line from Tavistoek westward to Liskeard, where a junction would be effected with the South Cornwall line, which will run from Plymouth to Falmouth. It is also reported that the Bideford and Tavistock Company intend to carry a line from Tavistock southward to Devonport, and that a course has been found which will allow the use of locomotive engines, and thus supersede the atmospheric line which is now betore Parliament, but which stands adjourned on account of the severity of its gradients, and of its being an atmospheric lire, to the next session, in order to see whether a better line could not be found. Whether what I have stated expresses the real intentions of the Bideford and Tavistoek Railway Company, I cannot say ; I mention the report as I hear it. One thing is clear, their engineers are now surveying the lines I have mentioned. If the Directors would listen to the advice of a.party on the spot, they would not hesitate to carry out what re port says of chem. By making aline from Tavistock to Liskeard therwoulckeut the South Devon line out of the great through traffiefroreFalmouth to London, for on measuring distances, and ellow ing half an hour for the passage of Hamoate, I find that an h,iur would be saved by travelling on the Bideford and Tavistock line (with the extension from Tavistock to Lis • ard ), from Exeter to Liskeard, as compared with the time required by travelling over the South Devon line. I also find on measuring that the route of the Bideford and Tavistock line. from;.Exeter to Devonport, would only exceed the dis tance between Exeter and Pl 3 mouth, by the South Devon line, by threlimiles, and if allowance is made for the delays and casual obstruction on the atmospheric principle adopted by the South Devon line, it may be concluded that he public will soon prefer the locomotive course of the Bideford and avistock line between Exeter and Devonport. lam particularly anxious to learn, if pos'ible what course the Bideford and Tavistock Company in tend to pursue, as, if they adopt the plan which report assigns to them, they will make Tavistock the centre of four lines, which would be the best thing that could be done for our borough, and what the Duke of Bedford, our patrol, would de sire and promote." . _ It is understood that the above queries may be answered in the affirmative, and that while the Bideford and Tavistock Railway will form the most comprehensive scheme in that part of the kingdom, by affording the greatest accommodation to the counties of Devon and Cornwall, beyond Exeter, and thereby acquire additional importance, both as regards the interest of the country through which it passes, awl the advantage of he shareholders. ILLNESS OF SIR WILLIAM FOLLETT. —The answer to in quiries at the residence of Mr. Pennell, in Cumberland-ter race, Regent's Park, where the Hon. and Learned Gentleman is now staying, was, at one o'clock yesterday, that he was de cidedly worse, having passed a very bad and restless night.

This was an action brought to recover from the Phenix In surance Company the amount of 1,040/., being the sum for which plaintiff's premises were insured in the said office. The plaintiff, a surgeon, had unfortunately, on the 16th of May, 1842, had his premises in 11, Suffolk place, destroyed by fire, and from that circumstance the present claim arose. The defence was en the geound of irregularity in preferring his claim. Witnesses were called for the plaintiff, and it is expected that the case will occupy the Court a couple of days.

Their Lordships sat this morning, and took the special paper, but nothing of the slightest interest came before them. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) MANSION-HOUSE, A regular system of plunder has been for some time carried on by boys employed by news-agents, against their masters, through various kinds of forgeries, and it has been discovered that the delinquents actually kept books detailing the particu lars of their accounts with each other, from which books it was evident their profits were very considerable. A lad named Thomas Ki,g was on Thursday brought before the Lord Mnyor, in the custody of a policeman, upon the charge of having, in one case by himself, and in other cases with the assistance of other lads, plundered his employers, Messrs. Simmonds and Ward, of Cornhill, news-agents, by means of forged tickets and orders. Mr. Simmonds stated that he sent the prisoner, who was errand-boy to the firm, to the office of the Times newspaper, to pay for the insertion of an advertisement, and he afterwards ascertained that the boy had altered the ticket to a larger amount than had been paid. Charles Pierre Robert, clerk to Messrs. Simmonds and Ward, deposed that on Tuesday week, the 17th instant, he gave the prisoner 41. to get an advertisement inserted in the Times. The prisoner went away, and, upon his retuin, said the charge would be 61., and witness handed him the 2/. extra. The pri soner brought back a ticket from the office of the Times, charging 5/. 10s., and returned to witness ten shillings. Mr. Robert Cannon of the Times o ffi ce d epose d t h at the ticket produced h a d been given by him, an d h a d or i g i na ll y b een for 51. Ticket s of the kind were given as receipts. The pre sent ticket had been altered from Si. to 51. 10s. He had no recollection from whom he had received the money, but he certainly received no more than 51. It was said that the addition had been made with red ink, to correspond with Mr. Cannon's writing on the tickets, but that the forger having used a dirty steel pen, the figure 10 following the 5 turned quite black, and thus made the forgery palpable. Henry Lowden, another errand-boy to the prosecutors, was subsequently put to the bar, together with Thomas King, the former prisoner. Simmonds stated that in this case one of the prisoners had received a number of copies of a newspaper, by means of a forged order, and sold them at a reduced price. The firm, he said, had a large foreign connexion, but no London busi ness of the kind. C. P. ,bert said he was accustomed to give orders similar to an order produced, to the following effect :—" Please to give the bearer four quires of the Pictorial Times, for Sim mends and Ward. " June 21, Is-45. " C. P. R." Neither that order nor another cf the same description was in his handwriting. One of them he believed to be in the hand writing of the prisoner Lowden, and the other in the hand writing of another boy whom the firm k new . Stephen Anderson, a boy in the employment of Mr. Sawyer, of Pope's Head-alley, newspaper agent, stated, that on Satur day he received the money from Mr. Sawyer to buy a quire of the Pictorial Times, and, as he went along, he met the prisoner King in St. Paul's Church-yard, wh o as k e d hi m where he was going. When witness mentioned, Ki ng o ff ere d him a quire cheap, and witness gave him 1/. Is. 6d., the full price, whereupon he gave to witness three-h a lf pence f or him self. Witn ess carr i e d the quire to his employer's once. King mentioned to witness, as a cause for selling the papers, that he had paid some over money at his office, and they would .not pay him again, and he had bought the quire to tak e it out . Mr. Ward, the partner of Mr. Simmonds, stated that the prisoner King admitted that he had sold the quire of the Pictorial Times to the last witness, but he could not account for the manner in which he had become possessed of the copies. Mr. Simmonds stated that the forged request, or order, pro duced, dated 23d of May, was in the handwriting of the pri soner King, and C. P. Hobert also identified the handwriting of King in the order, and said that he had not authorised King to write the order. Yesterday another of the boys employed by newspaper agents was taken into custody, and brought before the Lord Mayor. Mr. Simmonds stated that the prisoner had been in his em plo)ment, and he produced a forged request in the prisoner's writing for two quires of the Pictorial TOMS. The Loan MAYOR said he was happy to see that the deteo. tion of so nefarious a system of robbery had taken place, and directed that all the prisoners should be brought before him oes Monday next, en which occasion several other charges will be brought forward. A person in the empioyment of Mr. Dickenson, lithographic printer, Crown -court, Old Broad -street, was charged by his ma:ter with having left his work in an incomplete state. The defendant pleaded guilty. The LORD MAroa—The greatest mischief is frequently done by workmen who are careless of their employer's inte terests, and leave their work unfinished if offered more advan tageous terms, or temptation of drink. Those persons, whom I shall take good care always to punish, seem to be utterly ig norant of the state of the law. I will tell them what it is, in order to learn them, on this occasion. By the 4th George IV., chap. 34, see. 3, it is stated that persons contracting to do work, and absenting themselves from the service before the term of the contract, whether that contract be in writing or not, shall be completed, may be committed to hard labour for a period not exceeding three months. It is also stated that a propor tionable part of the wages, during the time they are in prison, shall be abated ; or in lieu thereof the prosecutor may punish the offenders by abating the whole or any part of their wages, or di•charge them from the contract and service altogether." Now if this most useful law were regularly enforced we should have very little of this general complaint. It is my intention to commit the defendant under this Act. The defendant appeared to be quite bewildered by this most disagreeable intelligence, and looked imploringly at Mr. Dicken son, who immediately said that he by no means wished to punish the defendant by imprisonment, to whatever inconvenience he might be subjected by the neglect of his service. The LORD MAYOR—Defendant, are you willing to go back to p:iur master, and complete your work? The defendant— Certainly, my Lord. I shall be very glad to do so. The LORD Ma von.— Very well. You are much indebted to your master for his interposition to prevent me from car-, rying the law into effect. If he had not interceded, nothing should have kept you from prison. You are now discharged. The defendant departed humbly, and apparently better in formed upon the subject of his obligation to his employer, who thanked the Lord Mayor for the tone and substance of the rebuke. George Poshay, a man who had been tried at the Central Criminal Court, and been frequently in Bridevrell upon charges of robbery, was brought before Sir John Pirie, who sat during the latter part of the business fer the Lord Mayor, under the following circumstances : Mrs. Christie stated that nn Thursday she came by the Gem steam-vessel from Gravesend to Londuo-britige, and she l ost aboard a half-sovereign, some silver, and a halfpenny, which - W. O'Brien, brewers, West Auckland, Durham (so far as re gards W. O'Brien)—A. Kurtz and C. Kurtz, vendors of patent lamps, Liverpool—J. Kymer and R. Kirke, coat merchants, Llanelly, Carmarthenshire. PRICE OF SUGAR. The Average Price of Brown or 3luscovado Sugar, for the week ending June 24, 1845, is 335. 64d. per cwt., exclusive of the Duties of Customs paid or payable thereon on the irn poriation thereof into Great Britain. LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS, Jane 27. The House sat yesterday to hear appeals ; the Peers present were Lord Brougham, Lord Cottenham, Lord Campbell. GALBREATH V. ARMOUR. The arguments in this part:l;;;l4casewere resumed, and occupied their Lordships the whole morning. The case came before their Lordships upon appeal from the decision of the Court of Session. The appellant is proprietor of certain lands situated in Kin tyre, within the courtly of Argyl . On part of the lands, the town of Dalinlober is built, which contains a population of about 1,500. In 18.30 or 1831, a gas company was established within the burgh of Campbeiton, for the purpose of supplying the inhabitants of the burgh and others with gas. The magis tra es of the burgh consented to the opening of the streets on certain conditions, and in order to extend the business of the company, they undertook to supply the proprietors and fillers of the town of Dalinlober. The consent of the appellant teas not asked or obtained by the gas company to the op-ring of the streets or roads. In such circumstances the ap pellant, in 1840 s presented a petition to the Sheriffs of Argyll to interdict the respondents, some of whom repre sent the Gas Company, and others are feuars under the ap pellant. It was maintained before the Sheriffs that as the feuars had the use of the streets as highways, they were en titled to lay pipes for the conviyance of both gas and water, and having the consent or tolerance of the Statute Labour road Trustees of the county, the appellant had neither right nor title to interfere. The Sheriff on considering full written pleadings found that as the respondents had right to their feuars with freeish and entry, they were entitled to introduce water Theby means of pipes l a id judgment of th e in n r gas the int s o tre t e h ts eir or ten r e n m a e d i: tenements Sheriff was brought under the review of the Court of Session by advocation. Lord Cockburn, on '2Bth of January, 184'2, recalled the interlocutors of the sheriff, advo cated the cause, and decreed iii terms of the original petition with expenses. His Lordship explained the grounds of deci sion, which may be stated generally, that he considered the right of property vested in the appellant, subject to a right " to ti , e the streets or roads for the ordinary purposes of super ficial access." This interlocutor having been brought under the review of the Second Division of the Court of Session, their Lordships, before answer, and reserving all objections to the competency, ordered an issued to be tried by a jury as to whether certain roads passing through Dalinlober were under the control and superintendence of the road trustees, and maintained and repaired by them. The verdict of the jury was affirmative of the i,sue, and the Court below in applying the verdict, altered the interlocutor of the Lord Ordinary, and dismisssd the original petition, and found the appellant liable in the expenses incurred both in the Sheriff's Court and in the Court of Session. Hence the present appeal was brought, complaining of the judgments of the Sheriff and of the Inner House. Mr. Wilde attended to support an information filed by the trustees of the British Museum against William Charlton Wright, of Ne. 4, Paternoster-row, under the Copyright Act of the sth and 6th Victoria, for neglecting to cleaver et the British Museum, within one month after publication, a copy of " Haphaet's Prophetic Almanack" fer the year 1644, and one for the year 1-45, whereby he had forfeited the value of the two copies, and a penalty of Si. in each case. Mrs. Charlton Wright appeared on behalf of her husband, who was subicenaed on a trial in Dublin. Mr. Wilde said this complaint was made by Sir Henry Ellis, the 1 rincipal librarian, not because the copies omitted to be sent on this occasion were of themselves of importance, but in order to enforce on the booksellers in London a complete obedience to the Act of Parliament. It was for the public benefit that the law had provided for the collecting at such a place as the British Museum all the publications of the day; At the eleventh hour Mrs. Wright had written a very proper letter, promising to make all the reparation she could ; but the proceedings could not be withdrawn upon that, as two notices had been served drawing attention to the Act, and requiring the almanacks to be sent, and both had been treated with con tempt. The Learned Counsel read copies of the toVO letters which had been addressed to Mr. Wright, and also Mrs. Wright's letter. Sir P. LAURIE asked if any similar proceedings had been taken ,gaiest booksellers before? Mr. Wilde said he under stood there had been such corn t rlaints recently at Marlborough.. street office, where the magistrate inflicted the full penalty of Si. Mrs. Wright said it was her own fault that the books were not sent in. Mr. Wilde replied, he was sorry that it was so, but he must press the case for the sake of example. Mrs. 'Wright prayed that he would not make an example of her, but consider her case by itself. Mr. Alderman MUSGROVE said the magistrates were called upon to administer the law, the requirement of which, it was alleged, she had knowingly disregarded. The information having been read, Mrs. Wright was called upon to plead to it. She said she was guilty, certainly, but she begged to be permitted to state, in extenuation, that she had no intention of setting the law at defiance. Her husband was a tray: iler, and did not sleep in Loudon thirty nights in the year. The maw-igen-lent of the business devolved upon her, and in attending also to her family this matter had slipped her memory. She had ben in business twenty-two years, anti the Museum had not had occasion to complain before. It was formerly the custom to call upon the bookseller for nine copies, which she had always delivered cheerfully, but from the letters she gathered that there was now a change, and the booksellers were required to carry their copies to the Museum. She had, upon receiving the letters, directed the showman to leave them on the first opportunity, and she had neglected to inquire whether he had done so. Mr. Alderman MUSGROVE inquired the nature of the almanac. Mr. Wilde said it contained only astrological pre dictions, but it would, perhaps, be a matter of curiosity in after times. Sir PETER LAURIE asked if the Museum enforced the deli very of a copy of every transient publication ; for instance, a song. Mr. Wilde said the Act gave a definition of a book, which would include a single printed sheet. Mr. Alderman Al usce otrn asked if the counsel pressed for the full penalty. Mr. Wilde replied that the trustees wiehed to leave the amount eniirely to the discretion of the magistrates. The magistrates having consulted, Mr. Alderman Muse:nova said Sir Parea felt with him a difficulty in reducing the penalty, because two notices had been sent to Mr. Wright, requiring the delivery of the books, and the trustees had been obliged to incur expense in main taining a right vested in them for the benefit of the public. They had considered the matters urged in mitigation, and could not reduce the penalty below 20s. in each case, and the value of the two almanacs. Mrs. Wright thanked the magistrates and retired. LAMBE William Hewidt, private secretary, as it was stated. to Mr. F. O'Connor, again attended before Mr. Henry, to answer the complaint of the officers of Lambeth parish, of neglecting to support his wife, in consequence of which she had become chargeable to them. The case stood adjourned from Saturday last, to give time to the relieving officer of Lambeth to make further inquiries as to the defendant's means and income ; and also au oppor • tunity for the attendance of his wife, she being too ill on Saturday to appear in Court. Mr. Bellamy said that all he had been enabled to learn was, that the defendant was in the receipt of a guinea a-week, be sides his partial board, and that he was living with another woman as his wife at a house in Lock's fields, where he laid 3s. 6d. a week rent. Since Saturday the necessaries supplied to Mrs. Hewitt smounted to es., and the relief supplied alto gether by the parish amounted to 11. 6s. 6d. Mr. HENRY—Has he made any proposition as to the pay ment of that amount and the future maintenance of his wife ? Mr. Bellamy—He merely offers to settle with the parish what they have expended, and to give five shillings a week to his a ife. Mr. HENRY—Five shillings is not enough for the poor woman in the state she appears in. I should say seven shil lings is quite as little as she can do with. Defendant--I cannot give it, Sir; all I can do at present is to pay the 17s. 6d. due up to Saturday, and to allow ss. a week. I will also pay the 9s. on Saturday next. Mr. HENRY—I don't think that sufficient. Let the wife be sworn. Mrs. Hewitt, who was obliged to be carried into Court, and who presented the the most distressing spectacle of human suffering that can well be conceived, was here sworn, and deposed that she had been married to the defendant twenty years ago, and she had one child by him, a girl now about eighteen years of age. About eight years ago her husband left her, and allowed her eight shillings a week ; but, after an absence of nearly two years, he solicited her to allow him to return, and, upon ;the recommendation of her friends, she permitted him to return. Ile, however, again lett her, when he had a situation as assistant to a librarian in the House of Commons, and then for a short time gave her 12s. a week. This he soon after discontinued, and took up with a female of ill fame who used to walk the New -cut, and still lived with her as his wife. In November last she found out the residence of her husband, through a friend of hers seeing him, and he then agreed to allow her 2s. a week. This sum, owing to her aalliction and suffering from an internal abscess, was totally inadequate to her support, and she felt perfectly satisfied she must have died from the want of proper necessarie s had it. not been for the kindness and humanity of Mr. Bellamy, the relieving officer. Mr. IlitsaY thought a strong case of neglect had been made out against the defendant, and one which the law contemplated 'in awarding punishment. It was sufficiently shown that he was living with another female as his wife, and sup porting her, whilst at the same time he had shametully ne glected his wife, or, at least, given her such a pittance from kis earnings of a guinea a week as was totally inadequate to her support in her present deplorable situation. It was also clear, Is the poor woman had herself acknowledged, that she must have died from want of proper necessaries, had it not been for the kindness of the relieving officer ; and fur this wilful neglect of his wife, and leaving her chargeable to the parish, he (Mr. Henry) should commit him to prison for one month.. Th• prisoner was accordingly sent to Brixton House of Cor rection for one month. SOUTHWARK. A poor widow, having five children, wai brought up, charged with leaving the wprkholke without giving due notice of her intention. It appeared the widow and her five children had become in mates of St. Saviour's Union some time since, soon after which the latter were sent to Mr. Aubyn's establishment at Norwood. The mother, being in health, and not wishing to remain in the workhouse, intimated her desire to quit the place, and obtain employment, by which she could maintain herself, and also be enabled to procure some little necessaries for her children. This wish on her part, however, was met by a refusal. being informed that she must either remain in the how. , or take the whole of her children with her if she went out. Knowing that she vat utterly incompetent to support such a family by her own exertions, she mentioned the impossibiiity of complying with such a regulation, and being tired of the place, the took au opportunity of quitting it without permission, and obtained a situation. The people of the workhouse, however, finding out where she was, had her taken into custody for absconding, leaving her children chargeable. Mr. CormictrAla said that he would be sorry to punish a woman under such circumstances; that she had no means of supporting her five children, who were sent to Norwood, and that her anxiety to procure for herself the means of exist enee, without living in the workhouse, showed that she was of industrious habits, and did not wish to be a burden on the parish. Since the above circumstances took place, it appeared the woman, being out of work, was again received into the workhouse, and some time afterwards, finding that she could again obtain employment, but that she would not be permitted to leave the house without taking her large family, she again absented herself without leave, and was a second time appre hended. Mr. Cettingham sent to make inquiries about the poor woman, and ascertained that she was honest and industrious. A female, with whom she worked, attended the court, and, as an instance of her industry, said that while in her employ the widow worked constantly from four o'clock in the morning until twelve o'clock at night. In reply to Mr. COTTiNGHAM, the witness said that it was needlework. She employed the widow, and that she earned at the rate of 2s. a day. Mr. COTTINGHAM said it must be awful drudgery to work so many hours for such a pittance, still the poor woman pre ferred it to remaining in the workhouse. The Magistrate again expressed his disinclination to punish the widow for quitting the workhouse under such circumstances, and that at all events he should not carry into effect the latter of the law in her case, until he had some conversation with the guardians on the subject. The matter was, therefore, ordered to stand over for that purpose. GREAT CENTRAL SARDINIAN RAILWAY. This project is likely to meet with the success it appears to merit. Ths Committee is not alone respectable but influential, and the Duke di Lante Montefeltro, in having joined it as president, at once stamps the undertaking as having the sanction of the Sardinian Govern ment. The resources of the island of Sardinia are immense, and it only requires the means of cheap and easy transit to the outports, which this railway will effect, to restore the island to its former com mercial imp,ortance, while it cannot fail to yield a very large return to those wht) invest in it. THE EARL OF ALDBOROUGH AND HOLLOWAY'S PILLS.--An astounding cure by this miraculous medicine after every means hsd failed—See extract of his Lordship's letter, dated " Villa Messina, Leghorn, February 21st, 1845.—T0 Professor Holloway.—Sir, I beg to acquaint you that your pills have effected a cure of a disorder in my liver and stomach which all the most eminent of the faculty at home and all over the continent had not been able to effect, nay, and even the waters of Carlsbad or Marienbad.
