( Sittings in Banco. ) Lord Denman, Mr. Justice Coleridge, and Mr. Justice Wil. liams %ere the presiding judges. COOPER V. HARDING AND SMITH. This was a motion on the part of the defendants for a non suit on a verdict for the defendants, on several grounds. The short facts of the case are these :—Messrs. Harding and Smith, the defendants, are solicitors, at Birmingham, and be came agent to the assignees of a bankrupt, named Goold, an ironmonger at Stafford. The assignees were in litigation with the plaintiff, Cooper, their former solicitor, in respect to some trusts. The matter had been the subject of a suit in Chancery, but thinking the suit would be brought to a more speedy ter mination, it was taken before Mr. Daniels, Commissioner of Bankruptcy. The defendants being desirous of Mr. Cooper's appearance before the Commissioner, served him with a sum mons to attend before the Court, but Mr. Cooper, when the sum mons was tendered to him, refused to attend, unless his expenses were paid as a witness. The defendants then applied to the Commissioner for a warrant to compel his attendance, who observed that if they had not done what was right regarding the summons, they were not entitled to a warrant, owing to the expenses not having been tendered ; but upon being pressed the Commissioner said, that at their own peril, and upon their own responsibility, he would grant the warrant. The warrant was accordingly taken out. Baddam, the officer of the Court, put it into execution, and Mr. Cooper was brought in custody before the Court. Mr. Cooper brought an action against the defendants for false imprisonment, which was tried before Lord Denman, and a verdict was had against them. Thereupon the present proceedings ensued. Counsel for the plaintiff prayed that the rule might be discharged. The defendant's plea was, first,'that the plaintiff was sus pected by Mr. Commissioner Daniels ; and secondly, that he was generally suspected for the act, and says that a witness is not bound to attend unless his expenses are paid, but in the case of suspected persons, postpones the question of expenses until the suspected person be exam ined. The summons, however, did not set forth any such suspicion, and the jury by their verdict recognised the fact that the Commissioners did not regard Mr. D. Cooper as a suspected person. The summons merely set forth that the solicitors for the assignees believed Mr. Cooper to be a person who could give useful information in the case, but the warrant recited that he was a person sus pected to be in possession of some of the bankrupts' goods.

PIERCE EGAN.—The sporting world, and more particularly that part of it who remember the ancient pugilistic sports of bygone days, and their historians, will regret to hear that this veteran writer is suffering severely from the effee is of an acci dent on the Greenwich Railway, which took place on Trinity Mon. day last, when he was thrown with several others on the ground in consequence of a concussion with some carriages on the rails, as he was descending from the carriage in which he had ridden. He has received a severe wound on the knee and has been confined to the house ever since. • DEATH OF LIEUTENANT-GENERAL SIR RICHARD Dowries JACKSON, K.C.B.—We learn by accounts received yester day that Lieutenant-General Sir Richard Downes Jackson, K.C.8., died suddenly at Montreal, on the 9th of this month, in a fit of apoplexy. The gallant deceased was Commander of the Forces, North America, and was on the eve of returning to this country. THE CHARITABLE SOCIETY OF DANCERS AND TEACHERS OF DANCING.—The annual general meeting of the above society. instituted to support poor and afflicted dancers, on or off the stage, was held yesterday afternoon, at Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen- street ; Mr. James Byrne in the chair. The Chair man having stated that the meeting was called for the purpose of rendering a general statement of the fund. and effects, proceeded to read the annual report of the charity, from which It appeared that the net receipts of a benefit at the Haymarket Theatre, in August last, were 48/. Is. 3d., the use of the theatre having been granted by Mr. Webster gratuitously. The total income of the charity was 4321. 12s. Bd., which included 51. from the Earl of Shelburn, and a similar sum from the Duke of Devonshire. The expenses for advertising, printing, rent, and sundry other items, amounted to 294/. 7s. 9d. A balance therefore remained at the bankers of 1381. 4s. 4d. The report having been adopted, Mr. Benjamin Webster, Oscar Byrne, and Mr. George Gilbert were elected trustees ; and after the election of the committee and other officers, an entertainment came off in the Hall, in which Miss Ade. laide Byrne, a daughter of Mr. Charles Byrne, and a pupil of Mr. Cipriano Potter, of the Royal Academy, played a concerto, by Thalberg, on the pianoforte. ANOTHER CHILD MURDER AT GREENWICH.—Great sensation has been created in consequence of another child. murder having occurred at Greenwich. Late on Thursday night, as Sergeant Wilson, of the R division of police, was going his rounds, he heard some children say that a young woman, named Mary Ann Eager, living at the " Cavern," under Blackheath-hill, with her parents, had committed murder. On instituting inquiries, he dis coveredthat the report was too true. On going to the house of her father, a working gardener, he learned that the young woman had delivered herself, about three o'clock in the afternoon, of a female child, and that, after doing so, she had destroyed life by cutting its throat in two places with a pair of scissors. That she afterwards proceeded down stairs from her bed-room, to take tea with her mother, and that the latter, suspecting something wrong from her altered appearance, went up stairs, and found the infant lying dead in a pool of blood on the floor. Information was forwarded to Dr. Oak Mitchell, of Royal Circus-street, Greenwich, and Mr. Hatch, surgeon, Blackheath, who attended, and, after examining the body of the child, declared it to have been born alive. The prisoner is dangerously ill, and confined to her bed, under the surveillance of the police. ST. PAUL'S, COVENT- GARDEN.—SIGNAL DEFEAT OF CHURCH-RATES —.Last night a meeting of the ratepayers of the parish of St. Paul's, Covent-garden, was held in the vestry room of the Church, Sir. James Tapster, churchwarden, in the chair, to make a church-rate to pay off 2971. 15s. 10d., a balance due fur the repairs of the church. Mr. Thomas B. Simpson and Mr. Offley having stated that the amount sought was the balance of 659/. 3s. 6d , a debt incurred for the repairs of the church and churchyard in 1842 and 1843, after a lapse of fourteen years, during which period there had been no outlay for the repairs of the church, moved and seconded the adoption of a twopenny rate to pay the balance. Mr. Walker opposed the rate, and moved the adjournment of the question to that day six months.—(Hear, hear.) Isle. Jolly seconded the amendment. On a division the rate was negatived by an overwhelming majority. Mr. Colville proposed, and Mr. Walker most willingly approved of, a collect ion bein g made to pay the 297/. 15s. 10d. Several other parishione rs also acquiesced in the proposition. A Is. 2d. poor.rate and Is. Id, im provement-rate were carried. , C s t, r ,fro , It is rumoured that the present Member for Ross and Cro marty is about to retire, to make way fur an Hon. Baronet of his own name, with whom it is supposed that there has long bean an understanding to this effect, similar to that which existed between Mr. Ramsay; the late Member for the county of Edinburgh, and Sir John Hope, to make way for whom Mr. Ramsay_has just retired. Be this as it may, the young Ross-shire Baronet we allude to is the " Hope" of the ultra •Tories of his own county; and we believe that they wish him to be their representative, and that he is now about publicly to announce his intention to offer himself as a candidate—either on the retirement of the present Member, or on a dissolution of Parliament. We are, therefore, happy to be able to assure the electors of this im portant county, that whenever a vacancy in their represen tation does occur, the Hon. Baronet, or any one who holds the principles he does on those great civil and :ecclesiastical questions which have excited as deep an interest in Ross and Cromarty as in any of our Scotch counties, shall not be left to occupy the field unopposed; but that a gentleman, who, it is confidently believed, will be most acceptable to the great majority of the county—whether electors or non eleetors—will solicit the honour of their support. WE, THEREFORE, EARNESTLY RECOMMEND TO THE ELECTORS TO KEEP THEMSELVES FOR THE PRESENT UNPLEDGED. RAILWAY COMMI'T'TEES (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. ITEVICASTLE AND BERWICIC. RAILWAY. ABANDONMENT OF THE NORTHUMBER LAND ATMOSPHERIC LINE. The Committee on these competing lines met this day, at eleven o'clock, in the Court of Chancery, Lord Stradbroke in the chair. The case for the preamble of the Newcastle and Berwick having closed, Mr. Sergeant Wu LNG nem opened the case for the atmospheric line. At the conclusion of the Learned Counsel's speech, The CHAIRMAN said the Committee could not entertain the atmospheric line on its merits, but they would go into the case as a locomotive line, thereby placing both lines on their general merits. Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM—That being thecase,my Lord, we shall net offer evidence on the case. It would be but wasting time after such a decision. Mr. AUSTIN—Then I understand that the opposition of the com peting line has ceased. Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIAM —Exactly so. Lord Howick was then called to state the origin of the atmosphe ric line, which he said was originated to prevent the destruction of Howick Hall. The opposition from the landowners was then proceeded with. The landowners' opposition had only just opened when it was said that an an angement had been come to, and the opposition was immediately withdrawn. The preamble of the Bill was then proved, and the clauses were gone through. The Committee then adjourned to one o'clock on Monday, when hey will meet pro forma. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP X. LINCOLN AND CAMBRIDGE RAILWAY. The Committee having assembled this day at the usual hour, Mr. Cubitt, engineer for the London and York line, was placed in the chair, and explained, at considerable length, the manner in which he proposed to obviate the difficulties and remove the ob structions, stated by Mr. Leather, to exist at various places on the London and York line. The witness said he would make towing_ paths where the line of rail would impede the navi gation of canals, and viaducts where it crossed fields or roads, private property, and bridges across rivers, &c. He was cross-examined by Mr. HILDYARD, after which he said, in answer to a re-examination by Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE, that if the bridge now proposed to be built at Boston should be found to im pede the navigation in any way a lifting bridge would be substituted, to which no objection would be raised by any party. The banks of the Witham were at present of an undulated form, and if the water was to escape over the banks at all it would of course be over the lowest parts of the undulated ground, but as the rail would run parallel with those banks, they would be raised, in consequence of the works, so that, in fact, the effect of the railway would be to improve the banks. Mr. P. SCROPE—You say there is to be a towing-path along the banks of the canal, parallel. Is there to be a fence along by the rail to prevent the horses being frightened by the engines I—Why, the horses never are so frightened now-a-days.—(Laughter.) Mr. Wrigby was next called and asked a question about coals, to which' Mr. WIIIISTER objected, on the ground :that the Committee had had this evidence twenty times before. Mr. Sergeant KINILAKE contended he had a right to ask the question, inasmuch as his Learned Friend had given evidence to the effect that the Winderworthmere coal aid the Dukesmere coal was equal, if not superior, to the Derbyshire coal. The CHAIRMAN said, that if the object of the Learned Sergeant was to disprove the evidence of Mr. Machon on this point, he had a right to ask the question. Mr. Sergeant KINGLARE said that such was his object. The CHAIRMAN then desired the question to be put. The witness then went on to say that the coals of Claycross had to come to London to go to Vauxmall, which increased the expense of transit. Witness had made inquiries so late as yesterday, and found Derbyshire coals by no means in such good repute as the Durham and Silkstone. To Mr. WEBSTER—It was on the 3d of January he made his in quiries about the price of Derbyshire coal at Grantham ; the cost of bringing coals to Stamford differs very much, owing to the dif ferent places it comes from, and the different routes it takes. Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE—Can you see any reason why people at Grantham should give 245. for Silkstone coal, when they san get coals from Derbyshire of equally good quality for 18s. ? —I may answer that question generally ; I have spoken of the dif ferent coals according to the prices I found them bringing in the market, and the quantity sold. Mr. Bishop was the next witness, with a view, Mr. PAGET said, to corroborate the evidence of the last witness. Mr. Bishop said he found Claycross coal so bad at the markets he inquired at, and so full of sulphur, that nobody would buy them. Mr. Wimberly was next called todepose to certain coach traffic, with a view to rebut the evidence of Mr. Parks, who appeared on behalf of the Cambridge and Lincoln line. The evidence was ob jected to, and the Committee declined to consider it; and when they returned The CHAIRMAN said the Committee had decided that the evidence might be given. The evidence was then proceeded with, and the witness said that according to the Stamp-office returns, 17 coaches had been put on the particular line in question, and 10 taken off. Mr. limovA an contended that this was new evidence, and therefore conceived he was entitled to be allowed till Monday to test the accuracy of these tables before he could cross-examine the witness upon it. The Committee, having retired, declared that they would accede to the Learned Counsel's proposal to adjourn the cross-examination to Monday, but that both parties should confine themselves to the Stamp-office returns of May, 1845, and in the meantime the other evidence for the London and York line should be proceeded with. Mr. Webb was the next Witness called, with a view to rebut the Cambridge and Lincoln evidence, as to agricultural traffic. When his examination had concluded, the Committee adjourned at four o'clock. rHE FUNDS-(CLOSING PRICES. ONE PRICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. Bank Stock 3 per Cent.

DEATH OF BURRELL EDWARDS, ESQ., OF SUTTON. —On Sunday this gentleman, who was well known for his ec centric habits, was found drowned in a pond on his estate at Sutton. On Saturday evening he asked one of his labourers whether he thought there were any fish in the pond. The man said he did not know. Mr. Edwards then instructed him to go the next morning (Sunday) very early and rake the pond about well, to see if he could stir any fish up, and to tell him if there were any. This singular request was attended to as desired, and while the man was raking the pond, he felt something remarkably heavy, and on pulling it up discovered it to be the body of his master. His stick was lying on the bank.— lpswich Express.

LOSS OF HER MAJESTY'S TROOP- SHIP APOLLO. Yesterday evening a very painful interest pervaded the Artillery Barracks at Woolwich, in consequence of a private letter having been received from Greenock (announced in the " Shipping List" of last evening), describing the loss of her Majesty's troopship Apollo on the coast of Newfoundland. The letter was received by the packet.ship which reached Liverpool in the early part of the week, addressed to Messrs. Baine and Johnson, merchants in the above town, from their agents at St. John's, Newfoundland. it bears the date of Friday, the 6th of June, and briefly announces the melancholy fact that the Apollo troopship, with troops for Canada, had been lost at a place called St. Shots, near St. John's, and that 80 of those on board had perished. At first the report was con sidered by the officers of the garrison as unfounded, neither the same conveyance which brought the above letter nor the Great Western, bringing any communication from the officers or crew of the Apollo, respecting the lamentable occurrence. On referring, however, to the last advices from the officers on board, and the great distance where the sad catastrophe is said to have occurred, perhaps off one of those isolated spots which are so numerous on the banks of Newfoundland, where the only communication is by coasting vessels, the belief that the reported calamity was but too true gained ground. The Apollo sailed from Sheerness in the early part of April last, having on board from the Woolwich garrison two companies of the Royal Artillery Corps—viz., of the Ist and 9th battalion, under the command of Captain Bent and Captain Collington, with the fol. lowing officers attached :—Lieutenant Travers, Lieutenant Gleig, Lieutenant Level, Lieutenant Evans, Lieutenant f; znt, Lieutenant Ord, Hon. E. T. Gage, Lieutenant S. K. Bayley, Lieutenant R. Granville, and Lieutenant J. G. Boothby, with Dr. Bent, of the Ordnance Medical Department. They were to relieve other corn. panics of the Royal Artillery in the Canadian territory, under Major Furneaux and Captain Cater. The ship arrived at Ports mouth on the 10th of that month, and took her departure on the 19th, bound for Cork, Halifax, and Quebec, taking on board r: the former port portions of a regiment of the line. Tit last advices received by the authorities bear date Halifax, the 28th of May, announcing her safe arrival at that port, and the satisfaction of those of the Royal Artillery that the troop which had embarked at Cork had been landed there. She was to sail from Halifax on the following day for her destination, Quebec. It appears from other accounts of that date that a succession of very fearful gales took place off the banks of Newfoundland, there being at that time a vast accumulation of ice. Several ships had been lost, and amongst them was the barque Jupiter, from Liverpool, bound to St. John's. She had been crushed by the floating ice, and so suddenly that eight out of the ship's company perished witk her. The captain, Mr. Sea mond, of Scarborough, and the remainder of the crew, escaped the same fate by jumping on a piece of ice, and subsequently obtain. ing possession of the ship's long boat, which providentially had floated. Respecting the fate of the Apollo, the greatest anxiety must necessarily prevail until the arrival of the next Halifax packet. The Apollo has been engaged in conveying troops to different parts of the world for several years. She was corn. missioned on the 3d of March last by Captain Ratcliffe, her officers comprising Lieutenant Risk, Mr. Williams (master), M►. Graham (surgeon), Mr. Dowell (purser), and Mr. F. J. Kent (second master). She carried eight guns, and was upwards of 1,000 tons burden. KING'S COLLEGE, LONDON. Yesterday the distribution of prizes, awarded by this institution, took place in the theatre of the College. The Archbishop of Can terbury presided, and was supported by the Bishops of Landon. Winchester, and Lichfield, the Dean of Westminster. Lord Rad stock, and Sir C. Clarke. The theatre was crowded by the friends of the pupils. The Most Rev. Primate then made a few prefixal. nary remarks as to the business of the day, after which the Professors in order addressed the meeting on the int provement and good behaviour of their respective pupils. The prizes were then delivered in the following order :—Depart. ment of General Literature and Science.—Divinity (senior year)... Edwards, Lynch ; (second year) Heywood, Greenwood ; (junior year) Kitchen, Irving. Classics—Heywood, Kitchen, J. Salter, J. Wilson, Watson, sen. Mathematics—Wray, Edward s.

At the termination of the distribution, the Caen/tax rose, and stated that he was sure all parties present would be highly gratified with the many proofs of the good behaviour and the great improvement made by the various pupils, which was no doubt owing to the very efficient Professors chosen for their instruction, and that he, should Providence spare him, would be ready at any time to assist this valuable Institution by every means in his power. The Bishop of London proposed that the thanks of the company be returned to the Archbishop of Canterbury, not only for his exer tions on the present occasion, but on many former times. The Dean of Westminster seconded the proposition, which was carried unanimously. The meeting then separated. ACCIDENT ON THE BRISTOL AND BIRMINGHAM r.—Onß u n s n ou rr ed o n t Thursday hisline. a f te T r h ti e h e on traina fearful wi c collision left Gloucester between at two t half.past ten for Birmingham, on reaching Camp Hill, came in sight of a train proceeding from Birmingham, on the same line of rails, and ere the engines could be reversed both trains came Into fearful collision—one engine being completely destroyed and the other very nearly so by the shock. These engines were the finest and most powerful on the line. One of the engine drivers and stokers jumped off, but the former was severely hurt, having fallen on his back on the rails ; the stoker was likewise hurt, but not so seriously. The men an the other engine escaped. From thirty to forty of the passengers are estimated to have been more or less hurt, but it is not supposed that any of them were dangerously in jured. The moment that the accident was heard of at Birming. ham everything was done by the officers of the company to afford relief to the sufferers. The cause of the accident is said to have been the leaving of the Birmingham train before the arrival of the train from Gloucester, a thing altogether against orders. :The whole circumstances, however, were to undergo official investiga. tion last evening. A RUSSIAN COUNT, HIS COUNTESS, AND CHILDREN BURNT ALIVE BY THEIR SERFS.—We have received from Southern Russia the news of the tragical end of Count Apraxin, known for his divorce from his first wife. This gentleman, who treated his serfs with unheard.of cruelty, has, together with his second wife and children, fallen a victim to their vengeance. The infuriated people at midnight surrounded his castle, and having gutted it of its contents, bound the inmates, and set fire to it. The Count, who bad freed himself, attempted to escape, but was overpowered and beaten to death by this savage horde. The fine wife of the Count Apraxin had married an Hungarian nobleman, but the Pope would not give his consent to this marriage, which besides was not reecgnised by law, her first husband being still alive.
