LA vv i,v l'ELLilit-NUE. SECONDARIE' COURT. Aug 8. (Refere Mr. Secondary JAMES ) FIELD AND ANOTHER V. MEADER. The plaintiffs in this action are brewers, and the defendant was landlord of the Ship Tavern, Essex-street, Strand. The action was brought to recover the sum of 101. 15s. 61., the balance of an account to which defendant claimed a set-off of 91. 15s. 6d., and paid I/. into court. The case occupied the whole of the morning. and the ques tion was whether the defendant was bound to pay for the writing of the names of the plaintiffs on the sign hoard. The ease entirely rested on the credit of the witnesses. The plaintiffs' agent swore positively that he only gave an order for work to be done to the amount of 21. os. On the contrary, the painter deposed that he was in the habit of working for plain. tiffs 'generally • that he was told to do anything defen dant ordered, but defendant said he would not give any orders. The agent then said he must do anything wanted, and he did so, and was paid by defendant by order of Sivewright. Witnesses were called and recalled on each side to bear out the alleged conversation, still leaving the case in the same doubt. Mr. BALLANTINE, for the defendant, urged that it was ilifenly improbable that. the painter would, if he swore falsely, th so for the defendant (who. in all probability, would never have the necessity of again employing him) when he was the employ of the plaintiff ; besides, the defcndant left the house, but the board remained, and still would, until the house was out of the plaintiff's trade. it was, therefore, clearly a work for their beaefit, and being paid for by the defendant, he was en titled to deduct the amount. The plaintiff's selicitor said, that on the evidence of his wit nesses the plaintiffs were entitled to a verdict, which the jury might safely give, and if the witnesses had sworn falsely, they might be indicted for perjury. The SECONDARY recapitinated the evidence, and eorrmen•ed on points which 'eight possibly reconcile the centred coons, but of er the jury having for the third time had the painter in the b tit, the Secondary earl it really becaem a question who spoke the truth ; the evidence was irreconcilable. Verdict for the defendant. ASSIZE tNTELLIGENCE. MIDLAND CIRCUIT. — Coventry, Aug. 6. ftefore the CHIEF BARnw ) FokoraY.— Thomas Tanfield and Thomas Pollard were inilicted, he one for forgery, and the other for urocurin and uttering a bill of exchange tor 3 1., knowing the saute to be forged. with intent to defraud William Coleman. Mr. Waddington and Mr. Spooner were for the prosecution ; Mr. Miller defended Pollard, and Mr. Willmore, Tanfield. Tne facts were these :—Pollard was a silk dyer at Coventr, Tanfield acting as his clerk and accountant. On the 2lst of February Pollard paid an account to Mr. Coleman, a manu facturer of Coventry. •.vith an ac, eptance of 3t)l , purporting to he dra en h 1 otiltard upon Mr. Leeson, accepted by that gentle. man, and payable. at Jones Loyd and Co., London. Tn.' bill was en , iorsed by Coleman, and was paid into the Coventry and Warwickshire Bank, tint u;itin becotniug doe was dishonourech Mr. Leeson upon being (tailed stated that he could not write ; it followed of course the endor.‘eini tit on the no - c was not his. 'l3 , ing in a large way of business he authorised his son-in.law. Jaycocks. to draw and accept bills en his account, but he swore most distinctly he never autborised any one else to accept or draw for him. Mr. Coleman stated he received the aceeidance in question, and paid it into banker's, but on becoming due it was dis honoured. Mr. laycocks, the son-in-law, swore the words " James Leeson" were not in his handwriting. Several pers,ins ware then cated, who proved the body of the bill, the signature " Pollard." the acceptance " James Leeson," and the en lorsement " were in the handwriting of Tanfield. Before the bill became due Pollard thought fit to quit the country. The prisoners were found Guilty, and sentenced to be trans ported for seven years. NORTHERN ClRCUlT—Carlisle, Aug 6. CROWN SlDE.—(Before_ Mr. Baron Rotrr.) HIGHWAY ROBBEAY.—john Henry Wrigley and Nicholas Allison, two labouring men, were charged with the offence of assault with intent to rob. This case was tried yesterday afternoon, but was not concluded until some time after the post closed. Mr. Grainger and Mr. Ramshay appeared to conduct the prosecution. The prosecutor, William Bushby, a man of about fifty four or fifty-five years of age, is a farmer and maltster, residing at Prospect, a short distance from Cockermouth, and farms about 1,000 acres of land. He stated that on the 2d of September last he was at Cockermouth market, and there, during the day, received SOL He received 691. from John Carter, at the Woolpack Inn. Believe-1. the prisoner Wrigley was present at the time. Left Cockermouth at about eight in the evening to return home, on foot, and he would have about two miles and three quarters to go. On the way he met one of his labourers who was corning to meet him, bringing a mare for him to ride. He got upon the mare, and that was at about three-quarters of a mile out of Cockermouth. • After proceeding some distance on the road, he saw the two men, supposed to be the prisoners at the bar. They came out from under a hedge, and one had a gun. They again retired, and the one having a gun gave it to the other, and then crept along under the hedge for about 100 yards a-head of him (the prosecutor). This induced him to put the mare into a canter. On coming towards the spot where the nearer man was, that man came out into the road w►th the gun, at a few paces be- • fore tne mare's head, and endeavoured to stop her, saying, . " Deliver up your money, or welt shoot you." -Wttness said, " It's all nonsense, I've left it at the bank." He then put the mire into a gallop, and went towards the other man a-head. That mt.n was the prisoner Wrigley. Had known him before, and he is called " Proofer," from being a hat-proofer. Wrigley then came running in a desperate way, sloping towards witness, seizing the mare's bridle with the left hand, and grappling with the rght to get witness off. He told witness to delver up his money, or Viet he 'h'uld have hi, brains ho an out. The mare swerved to one side, and went against a stone wall. Wrigley had hold of the bridle, but with se struck his hand with a stick, and so disengaged the hand of Wrigley, at the same time calling out to him, " Clear the road, you beggar." Wrigley appeared to fall, and witness then galloped on home as fast as he could. At about eighty or ninety yards from where he had left the first man there was a gun tired. Witness did not know Allison that night at all. He told the fanny at home what had happened, and deser , bed to then •• Proofer" as one of the men. A servant noticed that his hand was bleeding; it was found to be scratched; aad the neat morning, on going to the spot where he had the struggle overnight, he found There was a brier, by which the scratch, as he supp set, was made. His brother w s rai a visit to him same days after, and he showed the spot to ham, and had a conversation with him respecting the occurrence. Did not go before the magistrates till the 231 of last June; but on the 18th of June .sas with Mr. Hoskies, the magistrate. about this matter. On the 4th of June Est witness was at. Cockermouth cattle-marke , and went with Mr. Thomas Bird to the Ship Lin. Wade there, at about three o'clock in the afternoon, the prisoner Allison came in. Alli son asked witness if he knew him. Witness said he did not. Allison then went on to say that he had once saved bis ( witness's) life, and explained how. He said that en the night referred to he and Wrigley were out poaching; that they saw him (witness) coming on the road from Cocker mouth, when Wrigley said that he ( witness) had got 100/. ; be had seen him get the 1001 that day ; and that if he k Alli son) would take the gun and shoot witness, they would divide the money betwixt them. " 8u.," said Allison, " 1 rued-- I thought that Wrigley was that sort of marl that if anything was said about it he would inform. and I would either be hung or transported " Allison added, " he's a bad 'un ; we got nine hares that night, and he sold 'em, and told me he never got paid." Allison came into the house a second time that day, and repeated the same story, except that in one case he said it happened six months ago and in the other nine months. Wit ness was at Cockermouth fair on the 18th of June, and saw Wrigley in the street. Went before Mr. Hoskins, the magis trate, on the 19th or 20th. In answer to the question from Mr Ramshay, why he had not told sooner, the prosecutor sod that " but one of the men was known by him; that he thought it would be a great neat of trouble to prosecute, and that he was much excited at see ing a man remaining in the town who had attempted his life, and hired another man to shoot him." Mr. Wilkins appeared for the defence of Wrigley, and Mr. James for Allison. The prosecuter, upon cross-examination, admitted that he had at, first told Afr. Hoskins that the occurrence was on the 23d of December ; but he found, after looking at his bank book, and a memorandum there, that he was wrong. Other witnesses were called, who corroborated the evidence of 6r. Bushby in certain particulars. John Coulthard, gamekeeper to General Wyndham, had seen the prosecutor on the road on the night in question, and saw two labouring men near the same spot. John Robinson, landlord of the inn at Cockermouth, heard the tale told by Allison as above repeated, and this witness was -confirmed again by Mr.. Thomas Bird, the prosecutor's compa. nion upou the occasion. Thomas Barton, a blacksmith, said that Allison had come to witness on the 7th of last September, and related a similar tale to him. He came to get a lock mended. A meniorividum of . ,the Ipek being mended was written in a book (now produced); There was the date of the 7th of September apparent ; but so written, that it was contended for the defence that there had been an interpolation in making the memorandum. This wit ness said he had not mentioned the matter earlier, because he ivas a tenant under them (the family of the prisoner Allison), .and did not feel obl,ged to do it. ;tie. WILKINS and Mr JAM ES addressed the jury for their several clients, and the pri-oners were both acquitted. HiS.LORDSHIP refused to allow the expenses of the pro secutor. CHARGE or Mimosa.—Jane Crosby, against whom a bill for murder was found at the las assiz -s, has been acquitted. The trial lasted all to-day, and has finished but a few minutes before post time. It will be remembered that the charge against the prisoner was that of burning her own daughter (a child of silt years of age) to death upon a fire. The principal witness for the prosecution was another daughter of the prisoner, a child of eleven. At the last assizes Mr. Justice Coltman thought this child not then fit to be a wit nesr, from the ignorance she discovered touching the nature of an oath ; and the case was accordingly postioned in order that she might receive instruction. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS. - - THURSDAY. AUG. 7. 'REPORT FROM THE SELE(JT CO\EMITTEE GROUP KK OF R IILWAY - 3. SOUTHPORT.' AND EUX TON JUNCTION RAILWAY BILL. Sir Charles Lemon reported from the Select Committee on Group KK of Railways, and to whom several petitions against the Bills cerisprised in the said group. together with the re port of the Board of Trade thereon, were referred, that in the case of the Southport and Euxton Junction Railway Bill they had heard counsel in sup.Jort of one of the said petitions, and had alsia heard counsel in favour of the said Bill, and that they had examined the allegations contained in the preamble of the Bill, but the same had not been proved to their satisfaction. RAILWAY COMMITTEES. THURSDA Y. /MUSE OFMONINIONS. THE LONDON AND YORK SUBSCRIPTION CON RAC l". The Select Cornmitte. , --Mr. Hawe s , Chairman, and th e ether members present—met at eleven oVock. and procee ded w ith the examination of the persons named in Mr Bruce'. petition against the validity of toe above-named deed. The passages and lobby leading to the Conami , te. room ~,e re flinch crowded throughout the day, and the scene of Wednesday was repeated with mech effect. It does not appear that tt.e persons against whom unfounded allegations have been br oug h t are a whit the less i:idignAnt because . qr. Bruce has est - it e,sed big regret at the unjust accusations preferred against them. Mr. J. Theobald's case, or rather the case of that name, was then called. It seemed that the gentleman in question is is mysterious - 600 , 1y, for his residence has been hitherto un discoverable,: in spite of all the active eff trts of the dete(- 4' tiVe agents to make it out. The name was appends Ito a dwelling in Finsbury-square, and unto it had been appro. tZed the sum of 625,0;)01. for shares in the London a nd York neCtualuittoe decided, 45 Mr. Theobald affirmed the by 7., - . 01 ~-,•.;,', . ...;....,;...„.2...w.- - ...fr pothetical case of Hotspur' s spirits, and did not come when 1 they did summon him, that the addres was fictitious. The allegaiions against Mr. Taylor and Mr. Garrett were then withdraw. , by Mr. B. uce, with ample apologies towards those gentlemen for the injurious and groundless imputations of the petition upon their station and character. Mr. Shakell, the great railway proprietor, of the Charter. house, was next examined, and gave his evidence with such naiveté and coolness as to set the Committee in great good humour. This gentleman's case has been so often before the Pubic in various other proceedings of a similar nature, that it is almost usele-s to state that he is a retired cornet, possess ing 26/ Der annum as the reward of his military services; 501. or 604 from the charity or benevolence of the ,Charter house (where he resides when in town) ; a rich brother. living at Hockly-hall, Maidenhead, Berks ; a good reference to ' the said hall, whereat he is sometimes a visitor ; and a great taste for railway speculation. He admitted that he had applied for shares on the strength of Hockly•hall, and got them ; that he did not keep any of them, as " he knew better than that," but sold them at a moderate premium. Did he make much money ? asked an Hon. Member. •' Not half as much as he ought," was the r'.ply. Has he any interest in the line?—Not he, indeed. After a very facetious examination, the Committee decided that the gallant offi,er had, in giving hi. brother's re.itb nce as his own, procure.] for himself a fictitious credit he did not de serve. _ _ _ THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. THE INQUEST. The Coroner's inquest on the remains of the unfortunate stoker, Richard Peat, took place on Thursday, at the Falcon Inn, Littiebury. The proceedings commenced at eleven o'clock, when, after the preliminaries of swearing the jury and viewing the body were gone through, the first witness called on was John Herbert, a labourer on the line, who deposed to having seen the deceased at Stortford on Monday morning in good health and spirits. He identified the deceased. Robert Scott, another labourer, in the service of the com pany on the line, deposed that he was sitting near the chalk bank between Chesterford and Littlebury, a mile from the latter place, on Moat:ay last, jiwt before the accident took place. Witness was at dinner at the time alone. He saw the mail train coming down the line from London. It was as near one o'clock as could be, and as it came past he saw one of the carriages off the rail. He saw the engine cross the road and turn over. The trait, came cn the west side of the road. The engine turned round with her head towards London. He saw nothing of the stoker who was killed, for he (witness) was sent off by some gentlemen to assist the passengers, snit afterwards he was engaged in getting the luggage and carriage' clear. There were three men on the engine. He had been on the line twelve menthe, and he aid not think that the train went faster than it did at any other time previously. He bad been at work tire da)s near the ye else: e the accident happened, or whiles a quarter of a mile both ways, with eight other men. These at the momeat were sitting on the side of the edge at their dinner. Four trains had passed before during the day. Thought that the jump of the engine must have injured the rail. The rail had been examined by the foreman, John Elam wood, after the half-past nine train from London had passed, and nothing was f,.und the matter with it. The foreman, was in the habit of doing so three or four times a day. He stew him examine the line both betore aiid atter breakfast. 'The train came off the eastern side at the western line. The line runs in that part nearly north and south. William Feriiihough, an engineer, in the employment of the company, and superintendent of the locomotive department. deposed, that he left London by the half-pest eleven o'clock mail train. John Young was driving. The engine ass No. 54. The deceased acted as fireman. Witness rode upon the engine from London to the time of the accident. The engine was a new tine, and had only been running two or three weeks. He was on the engine in the ordinary course of his duty. The engin gas a six wheeled one, and in his judgment a good one. The trains came as well a-, usual down to Wendon. lie did nut know at whet time they left Wendon, but it was his imi ree• sion they were a little behind time. He was not very certain of ihis fact, no' eined he positively swear to it.. They pro ceeded from the Wendon station, as on every day previously since the opening of th • line, at the ordinary speed. He was merely a looker-on, and did not speak at this time to the driver, who had the entire control of the engine. If witness had perceived anything incorrect in the management he would have spoken to the driver. After passeng through the second tunnel he per ceived the driver reduce the speed by working in the third notch of expansive gear, as he thought, and the steam nearly cut off. It e as between the tunnel and the second three arched bridge, but exactly where, he could not say. There is an inclination at that part of the toad. He then saw the en gine on the ballast, instead of on the rail, but felt no jump. The accident took puce from the sec , nri bridge, at the distance of about three times the length of the train. The engine ran in a straight direction on the balla-t, about the length of the train, until she struck the in•ide rail of the up line, and then she curved round to the right, and turned on to her left side. Witness held fast hold of a cock on the left side of the engine. He did not lose his presence of mind, and thought he might be saved by holding fast if she went on straight He was thrown tiff when she, turned over, and was blinded and confounded among the tragmen , s. When he came to his senses he found himself under the back part of the engine, healed the fire-box. He supposed, from the concussions he received, that he was torn limb from limb, and almost killed. He remained half a moment, and, finding there was no steam or water flying about, he crept out. He did not see anything of the deceased for a quarter of an hour. When witness got free lie shouted out the names of the driver and fireman. The former answered, and he saw him reeling about on the side of the road. Witness was so exhausted he was obliged to sit down for a short time. The deceased was found about a quarter of an hour afterwards under the engine, arid then it was only his arm was seen. The en gine was removed last. It was plain the deceased muss have been killed immediately. for the whole weight of the engine was on him, and one or two of the fire bars having been broken the coke came on to him and burned him. When the engine was removed deceased was on his back on the inner rail of the up-line. Witness had been down the hne every day since the opening of the line except the previous Saturday He thought they were trace bug at the rate of 30 miles an hour. When they approached the inclined plane they slackened their speed as is usual to do. The accident happened on the incline. Before they slackened speed they had been travelling about 35 miles an hour. It was his opinion that the driver WAS driving properly at the time of the accident in every respect, and for a quick train, not at an improper or over speed Had he been going at such a rate it would have been his duty to tell him to go slower. He had done so to other men on the line once or twice before., The driver was only known to him about a month or two. He considered him as good a driver as any in the service. He had been on the Manchester and Leeds line, and was remarkable for his caution and carefulness. He was more backward in his driving than otherwise. Witness was on the engine when she was first tried, and he considered her competent to be sent out with a quick train. She was, technically speaking. truly built. She lifted her wheels like all engines. • He did not consider the lifting of the wheels den ' get ous, unless it was a very violent lifting. As to the cause of the accident, nn thought something threw the engine off- The left-hand side of the foot plate, where he was standing, did not lift at all. He had reason to suppose that there was something on the rail—that something was wrong in the stationary affairs of the line. It occurred as if a bar had been lying across the line. A stone would not be likely to throw it off by catching 1 1 the flange, for it would be instantly crushed. Before the en gine get on the ballast he did not perceive any jumping or late rat oscillation. That morning he himself had examined the engine previously to starting from London, and found that everything was correct. Mr. Duncan, solicitor to the Company, stated that the driver was on the Manchester and Lead= Railway for seven years. and on that line there was an inclined plane of seven miles of 1 in 150. Witness, in continuation, deposed that a tender had re cently come off the road when going at a very slow rate be tween Cambridge and Eiy. He thought that thirty miles an hour was not too rapid nn a curve, and an inclination. By his watch they were about seven minutes behind time at Stortford. He considered the engine not top-heavy for a large and powerful engine, and as far as top-heaviness was concerned, if the road was safe, she was safe too at fifty miles an hour on the level, and thirty down an inclined plane. John Herbert recalled—He had walked up the line shortly before the accident, arid every thing was clear. Ne rails or tools were lying about. Mr. Joseph Jackson, the seperintendent between Cam brioge and Brandeis, under Messrs. Grissell and Peto, de posed that he left London by the half-past eleven o'clock train on Monday, in a first-class carriage, in the hinder part of the train. It was the first of the first-class next the engine. He thought they might have been two or three minutes behind time on leaving London. He never travelled in that fast train before, but he knew its speed from seeing it pass alone the line before. They were going along " comfort ably," as he thought, when, at the moment of the accident, the first thing he felt was a difference in the beat of the en gine. He then put his head out of the window, and saw the gravel flying up ; and the engine curving en the right side en abled him to see it. A lady was sitting in the carriage with him ; he held her back, to avoid as much as possible any con cussion. A bump then came, and then another, and all was at a dead stop. He then got out and took our the lady, after which he went to look after the passengers. The e gine was lying on her side. He found the driver and Mr. Fereihough, and then he saw a hand projecting from under the enetne, which he knew must be the stoker's. He knew he must be dead, from the weight of the engine. Everything was done to remove the engine, which wits a work of some time, and depended on the number of hands employed. When the stoker was taken from under the engine, the police emit charge of the body. The death took elute from presser", not from scalding, and mutt have been instantaneous. Witness afterwards examined the line, and found it torts up Int some thing like a hundred yards of both rails of the down line. There was a rail injured at. one end, and he saw in a moment that that was the cause of the accident, without going farther A piece of it was not broken off, but bent right down. He traced the flange of the wheel, on the bent part, and it oc curred therefore to him that that bit of metal was not quite sound, at least not so sound as the rails generally are. It was the end of the rail that was bent. Re thought there was a taw in the rail which could not be discovered previously., Before the accident occurred they were going, in his opinion, at an ordinary pace ; and he did not think that thirty miles an hour dawn the incline was too fast. Between the engine and the carriages there was a horse-box and a luggage van. The broken rail was here brought into the room through the window, and it was inspected by the jury. Williem Cox, a labourer on the line, deposed that he was at work near the spot where the accident occurred on Monday,' end passed innhnut a quarter of an hour previously, and the line appeared to be perfect and right in every point. Had there been anything to obstruct the train, he must have seen it, as it was his habit of observing that portion of the line three or four times, to see all was right He saw the train coming from where he was on the chalk bank, on the east side. It appeared, to him to be going at a faster rate than ever he saw it going , before. He saw the engine rocking when at a distance ofi about fifty yards from him. He then saw the engine jump up, leaving a space of between six and seven inches between the . wheel and the metal. Then she came on to a joint, and from this to the ballast. She plooghed the road up and curved round and went into the chalk bank, falling right over. After that he assisted the passengers out of the carriages, but saw nothing of the &ceased. The road was in as good repair as it could be. He thought the cause of the accident was in the great speed at which the train was going, which in his judg ment was about fifty miles an hour. He had worked on rail ways for about eight years. and could tell their rate of speed very well from experience in looking at them. A conversation occurred here between the Coroner and several gentlemen connectedwith the Company has to the curve and the inclination at the place of the accident, from which it appeared that the curve had two miles radios; and \lr. Hanson, the director of the traffic, said that whether the curve had an inclinition or not made very little difference. Mr. Phipps, the engineer of the line, in answer to the Coroner, was of opinion th it the train might have proceeded at from thirty-five to forty miles an hour down the incline, and he agreed with Mr. Jackson as to the immediate cause of the accident. Mr. Lawford, oise of the resident engineers on the line, in answer to a question from the Coroner, said he got out of the aftertr ai train t a i t me Wendon, Tne y w h h a e d r , e n h o e w t e h r o e u r g , thought e they had behind arrived r f i e v yr e nit minutesat oalln leaving London. The CORONER said the great point to arri ve at was whether the train went at an improper speed or net ; and he should like to have Mr. Phipps sworn, and take his opinion on the accident as far as he could give it. Mr. Phipps was then swum, and deposed that the accident must have occurred from the rising of the fore part of the engine, which might arise from the depression of that par. ticular joint of the rail, or from preceding joints putting the engine in a state of oscillation. This he was inclined to hold to in preference to the opinion that the train went at too great a speed, which would have made no difference in such a slight inclination. Certainly an engine and train might travel down it with perfect safety at thirty-five miles an hour. He thought the engine one of the best. Mr. Hanson here stated it was one of the tsve that took down the Directors and their friends en the openine excursion. Mr. Fernihough said, is answer to the Coroner, that the engine was worth 1,8001., and the damage to it he estimated at about 2501. Mr. Phippn in continuation, was of opinion that over-speed did not always cause a jumpine of the engine. She would jump more. probably, from irregularity in the road—he meant by irregu l arity depress; in in the joints. It was the duty of the inspector of the line and his men to see after this. Mr. Feraihnugh explained how Cox's testimony could not be depended on for accuracy. That witness hail stated that the enginejumped six or seven inehes ; that he sew spice between the flange of the wheel and the rail, and at the distance of fifty yards, which was impossible The CORONER stated that if it was the fact, as Mr. Law ford had stated conversationally, that the train arrived at Wendon in time, it might be fairly inferred the driver could have no object in increasing his speed. He thought, however, that it would be satisfactory to have that gentleman sworn. Mr. Lawford, the engineer between Stortford and Cam bridge, deposed that he lett London in the train on Monday, and examined his watch and the clock at Shoreditch, which agreed. He looked at his watch again when he arrived at Wendon, and found they had arrived in time to a minute. It ought to take 6 3 / 4 minutes at 31) miles an hour to reach the spot where the accident occurred from Wendon. Nobody could tell at what moment it occurred. He got out of the train at Wendon. The CORONER said that it was very much to be desired that General Pasley be examined, as he had investigated the cir cumstances of the accident, and in all probability had come by this time to a conclusion as to how it originally occurred. They had got at the immediate cause, but. not at the first one. if even some intelligent passenger could be brought forward, he might throw some light on a matter which was still involved in some mystery. One or two of the jury expressed their coincidence with the to e Coroner's opinion. The CORONER then said that, under all the circumstances. adjourn the inquest until General h p e a, t l l 4 u ,s g e h y t i d i e t nc hise court some consultation it Was agrr,..'d adj,,urn the inquest to Wednesday next, at twelve o' c l oc k. ott y b ALLEGED )1 EDICAL ILL-TREAT- Mr. C. Brown, of the St. James's Chronicle, a 2,50 N. shareholder, was next examined. lie was set down in the petition as residing at 30, Blackfriars-road, whereas his real residence is at 38. He stated that the indignant owner of No. 30 was near " pommeling " him, on the supposition that the wrong address had been given on purpose. and that the charac ter of his house would be injured by it. The Committee decided that due diligence had not used by the petitioner to ascertain the real address of Mr. Brown. MEN T. On Thursday forenoon at nine o'clock an inquiry, adjourned from Tuesday last, was resumed before Mr. T Wakley. M.P., at the White Horse, Great Saffron hill, on the body of Eliza beth Anne Crouder, aged 39, the wife 01 a po r labouritig man in the employ oi Mr. Merry weather, engine mainitacterer, of Lung-acre. The itiquiry was attended by a large number of medical practitioners. Sarah Thornton was first called. hSee said she knew de ceased, who resided at 54, saffron hill. On Wednesday week last the deceased was suddenly taken in labour, and Mr. Hawkins, surgeon, of 54, Hatton-garden, was called in to attend her. hrethr. to t a male ut eleve nh o'cioiik th at morn i ng d ecease d g again seized with violent pale, and expressed her conviction i .bii c. sh , rtly after the deceased was to Mr. Hawkins that she was about to give birth to a second child, and put it to him whether he would not re quire further assistance. In reply to this Mr. Haw kins said that deceased was going on favourably, and added that if there were twenty medical men present, they could render no assistance. From the appearance of deceased, witness felt convinced there was a second child, but Mr. Hawkins denied it, and said that all that remained was a small portion of the " presenter." Mr. Hawkins remained with the deceased up to five o'clock the next morning, when he went away to procure some medicine for her. The witness here entered into a minute detail of what took place between the interval of the birth of the first chile, acid Mr. Hawkins's leaving the deceased, the greater portion of which is unfit tor publication. The facts deduced went to show that Mr. Hawkins used forcible anti undue means towards deceased, the effect of which was to cause great laceration, and ulti:nately a protrusion of the intestines. During the period Mr. Hawkins was pursuing this course of treatment towards her, the 'le ceased, who was suffering the most excruciating agony, frequently compla:ned of his behaviour. .ors. Elizabeth Smith proved that she was caled np at half-past five o'clock on the morning of Thursday week to attend deceased; she remained with her until her death, which took place at half-past six the same evening. Previous to dying, the deceased declared that. Mr. Hawkins had mur dered her, and she made a similar declaration to the minister who was sent for to afford her spiritual consolation Mr. Downes, 3. Tooley-street, 2,500/. ; Mr. Dawes, Dar lington lilac*, Borough, 2,0001.; a❑d Mr. Hitchcock, 52, Broad-street, 50,000/ , were then successively examined, and proved that the allegations of the petition were not well founded, inasmuch as their names and places of abode were not fictitious and false.

Mr. Cox, it was understood. preyed refractory, and refused to answer some questions put to him, whereupon he was warned of the consequences, and allowed a special act of grace till to morrow to refl,cr upon his conduct, and amend it, if so ad vised by his iotervehing coguaitons. 1n all the other cases it was understood that. the result of the investigation established the eharseter and position of the persons assailed in the peti• tion ; that Mr. Bruce made the best amend he could in some of them ; arid that to others various members of the Committee expressed the regret they felt at seeing gentlemen whose sta tion-and respectability they themselves could vouch for placed in so awkward a pnsition. Up to five o'clock the w tnesses were tolerably quiescent, as it was expected the Committee would rise at that, the usual hour. However. six o'clock came, but with it no adjourn ment. As the persons in attendance were strictly forbidden to depart without leave, unless they wished to undergo all sorts or inflictions from Speaker's warrants and Sergean's-at. Arms, it may be imagined that they were very wrathful, especially these who were lusting after the flesh-pots at home, or who had dined early, and saw no prospect of supper. A , seven o'clock, there fore, there were general signs of mutiny. Grumbles were heard. The House of Commons in general, and that Select Committee in particular, were favoured with a sort of notice not very complimentary or elegant, and several resolute gentle men were actually heading a march down stairs, when it was announced that the Committee had adjourned. " Pray, Sir, is it till eleven or twelve to-morrow ?"--" Why they've only risen to dine ; they meet again at nine o'clock." This was thought to be a joke, for a few moments, till Honourable Members confirmed the sad reality, and at nine o'clock, accord ingly, all the witnesses were again assembled in the lobby, in the worst possible humour. One old gentleman declared that " they were more like a council of Red Indians than a Christian House of Commons." Another piteously inquired " How am I to be up before the Lords to-morrow at eleven o'clock if I'm kept up this way ?" 0 hers enlarged upon the sufferings of their domestic circles at such an unexpected and unusual absence, and a country witness, when it came to eleven o'clock, informed his sympathising friends that he never had been up to such an unearthly hour for the last twenty years. As the time wore on the impatience of the witnesses in creased, and the above complaints and grievances were in creased in vehemence and intensity. Mr. Bruce, Mr. Croucher, the railway, the contract deed, everything or body that could be assailed, was anathematised with hearty good will, until word was brought out that Hon. Members would sit till three or four o'clock, when theelderly witnesses went off in despair, and, search ing for soft spots on the tables and benches of an empty com mittee-room, formed a kind of railway bivouac, more novel than picturesque. The more mercurial gentlemen amused themselves with playing leapfrog, distorting the witnesses' names as they were summoned in. Mr. Cox 1 Fox ! Nos. ! &c., wakening the policemen by alarms of tire, and ringing the division bell with great energy. Indeed, it is said that such a scene was never witnessed before in the House of Commons, and that the records may be searched in vain for any similar instance of a Committee sitting beyond midnight. Hon. Members who serve on railway committees must certainly be provided with the constitution of a steam-engine. It was un derstood that their labour to-day was not altogether passive, but that some very active business took place inside, and the occasions of doubt and discussion were certainly not unfrequent, it' one might judge from the number of times the room was cleared. It was hoped that the Committee could decide upon the cases before three o'clock, and accordingly the printers were ordered to be in reaiiiness ; but finding, at one o'clock this morning, that a great number of witnesses remained to be examined, they gave in, and adjourned at that hour to eleven o'clock. A number of ref-actory witnesses were specially invited to attend by a Speaker's warrant. fhe CORONER—When the deceased charged Mr. Hawkins with murdering her, is it your opinion that she was aware that she was in a dying condition ? Witness—Certainly. She thanked us all a quarter of an hour before her death for our kinowss towards her, and she then said that Hawkins had murdered her. By the Jury—l heard deceased ask Mr. Hawkins whether he did not require other assistance, but he reiu-ed to call in any one until deceased's husband insist 41 upon having another medical gentleman sent fr, Mr. Thorne, another surgeon, came on the Thursday morning about nine o'clock, and on seeing deceased he instantly deelared that 'here was another child, and that she was in a hopeless condition. After the lapse of a few minutes he succeeded in delivering deceased of the second child. This infant was full-sized and dead, but the first child was alive and well. "The deceased had had nine children previously. Mr. John Thorne, of No. 4, Mylne-street, Pentonville, said he was a surgeon, and was.sent for to see deceased on the morning of Thursday week. On examination of deceased, he found Itrge portions of the intestines protruding, and the head of a child presenting itself. The face of the deceased was pallid, and the pulse feeble ; indeed it appeared as if the vital power was fast sinkinw. Seeing this , Witness l ott no time in delivering deceased of the second child , which he effected with a whalebone fillet. Mr. Gibson; another surgeon, had also arrived, and delivered deceased of the second '°placenta." and returned the protrudine intestines. He then called witness's attention to a large laceration in the posterior portion of the vagina. Stimulants were given to deceased, in consequence of her sinking condition. Mr. Gibson, surgeon, of 115, Holborn-hill, and Mr. Bartlett, of 24, Hatton. garden, another surgeon, who were celled in, corroborated, in all the main points, the evidence as to the condition deceased was in. ..... Mr. J. Hall Davis, of 17, Russell-street, F teroy-square, physician, and lecturer on midwifery, said he had made a post rigorism examination of. the body. Dr. Forbes, Mr. Thorne, and Mr. Gibson were present at that examination. Mr. Haw kins was not there, although he (v/itness) had sent him notice in writing when it was to take place The witness proceeded to describe the lacerations before alluded to, more particularly the rent in the vagina. By the CORONER-1 have no doubt but that the latter in jury was done w ith the hands, in efforts made to separate what was considered by the medical man as the " placenta." The injuries she had thus received were the cause of death. Tne CORONER. here inquired of Mr. Hawkins if he wished to make any statement himself, or that he (the Coroner) should call any witness in his behalf? Mr. Hawkins desired that. his sister might be sent for, as she had a conversation with the deceased on the morning she was first taken ill. This was d-ne. but the whole of her statement wee , flatly contradicted by the husband of the deceased, and the witnesses Thornton and Smith. ..... The CORONER recapitulated the evidence. The evidence adduced certainly implied an extent of ignorance truly in explicable; how any man, possessing a medical education, could have pursued the course adopted by him was truly asto nishing Ihe jury found, " That the death of Elisabeth Anne Crouder yrs..; produced by the ignorance and unskilful con duct of James Hawkins." The CORONER—Are you aware, gentlemen, that such a ver dict is tantamount to one of manslaughter? The Foreman_ We are, Sir. The CORONER said, thrn he bad no alternative . but to com mit Mr. Hawkins to Ni-wgate on the charge of manslaughter Mr. ilawkin4 applied to be admitted to bail, but the Coroner said he had an power ti do so ; and he was committed, on the Coroner's warrant, to Newgate. LEEDS AiND BRAI)F()RI) RAIL WAY ComPA.,%Y. The half-yearly meeting of the Proprietors in this railway was held at the North Alidland Railway station, Leeds, at noon, on Wedinsday last George Hudson, Esq., Chairman of the Board of Direcrors, presided. There was a large attendance of shareholders. Great importance attached to the meeting, owing to the arrangement wh'eh has just been entered into be tween this Company, the Leeds and %lanchester, and the West Yorkshire and West Riding Junction Companies. The following report was read by the secretary t—tt Since the last half-yearly meeting your Directors have obtained the sanction of Parliament to the Bill for making an exten sion of the Leeds and Bradford Railway, from Shipley to Colne, with a branch to Howarth. The engineer is now busily eruaged in staking out the line, and no time will be lost in obtaining pssession of the land. Your Direc tors will, in a short time, be prepared to let part of the new works, and they have already secured the rails and chairs, on moderate terms. From the neighbourhood of Skipton rail ways, in continuation of the extension line, are now projected in nearly every direction, so that the Leeds and Bradford is Ilk-1y to prove a more important trunk railway than was origi nally contemplated. The engineer reports favourably as to the progress of the works on the original line, which your Directors have every reason to hope will be completed wit hin the time fixed by the contracts. The recent Parliamentary contest between the West Yorkshire and the Leeds and West Riding Companies has issued in an arrangement on a dlr_ ferent basis from that recommended by your Directors. In that arrangement, however, the right of this Company to the traffic between Leeds and Bradford is distinctly recognised, and your Directors have no reason to doubt that this principle will be fully carried out. The subject of a branch line into Wharf dale will be brought before the Shareholders at a future oppor tunity—in the meantime, surveys are going en." The SECRETARY then read the statement of the accounts, from which it appeared that the total disbursements of the Company, up to the 30th of June. 1845. were 141 9761. is. 44.; and she receipts on calls, &c., 145,7:10/.

Cite le!)NDoe AND YORK RAILWAY —The prompt c raditallegations of Mr. Bruce's petition against Yorkand Relwar, in nue particular in et the c tioLnond,:n given stanee within the knowledge of a Member of Parliament, who was attending in his place when the petition we , s presented. has been followed tip by further disproof of is charges in the Committee. In truth, the promoters of the petition already show a senso of the consequences which they have incurred by haviutt rashly made a wide and sweeping statement. lab-. Bruce, the petitioner, disclaimed a'3 , knowledge of the facts per sonally, and said he drew up the document on the ieformation of Mr. Parkes and Mr. Humphreys, who appear to have egre giously misled him. Mi. Perkes, having in vain endeavoured by an excuse, which was overruled, to get en adjournment, then applied to be allowed to select 17 out of the 66 'eases, in which motion he was overruled also, the Committee properly de ciding that they would take them all in due course. Taking them so then, the list was berm unsuccessfully eneueth for the petitioner. Nevertheless, we do not and c .nroit doubt but that some of the allegations which he has been mule to make will b; established. But the question, after all, for Parliament to decide will be, whether there is a :sufficient admixture of frau dulent subscribers to contaminate and disqualify the whole number, and to defeat a great undertaking. If fifty righteous men could save a wicked and condemned city, how many of the opposite kind shall it take to condemn a company ? We de not implicitly sympathise with toe ndignation of gentlemen at the bare questioning of their adequac • to meet demands to which they voluntarily come forward and make them selves liable for. In some sort they provoke the in quiry. But, on the other hand, we are bound to re probate the random attack upon solvency by rivals no better qualified. Such a system resembles the speculative and fishing objections against voters, which it has been f •und necessary to restrain by a prevision for giving costs when they are made frivolowdy and without cause. Enough has already transpired to satisfy its that the proof':; of Mr. Bruce's assertions will fall very tar short of his allegations. Unless his agents can make out a case of guilty participation or coneivance, or negligence, and want of proper precaution, and would bring it under the Galway precedent, they will not be entitled to have the Bill thrown out. The Select Committee have , et about their task with an energy which is the more laudable as it ie most un common, but although they had net at two o'clock this morning concluded a sitting which commenced at eleven A.M.. we fear that the delay already incurred will render the passing of the Bill this session impossible.— Times. SOUTUAMPT , )N, AUG 7. i'ii'-Oriental Company's steam-ship the Duke of Cornwall, arrived at the Motherbank at one o'clock this morning, and landed the East India and China mails, which were forwarded to London by the two o'clock A.M. mail train.

FOOT-RACE IN HYDE PARE.—On Thursiiy a san e . mile running match came off in Hyde Park between Hollis of Brampton and Weller of Pimlico. The stakes were Si. aside. At the start Hollis took the lead, which he maintained for half a mile, when his opponent came up, and a spirited race ensued. They ran well together, both making greet exertions for vic tory, and which Weller achieved. and was accordingly declared winner. the one mile of ground was completed by the winner in five minutes nineteen second,. The report was unanimously agreed to, and after passing resolutions of a formal nature, the meeting adjourned. LONDON AND COUNTY JOINT-STOCK BANK.— On Thursday the half-yearly general meeting of the proprietors of the above bank was held in the board room, No. 71, Lombard street, City, William Hawes, Esq., in the chair. The report of the directors, read by Mr. It . P. Nicholls, the seeretaty, stated that they had declared a dividend on the capital stuck of the Company of 5 per cent., tree of income-tax. The business of the bank continued to increase steadily, and the balance, 1,6931. 175., now pro posed to be placed to the guarantee fund, would, with the surplus of the last half-year of 2,5541. 15s. 6d., and in terest thereon, make an increase to that fund for the year of 4,4411. 10s. 6d. In announcing the ternainaion and settle ment o , the law proceedings in which the company had been engaged, the directors called the attention of the proprietors to the improved prospects of the company, and to express their opinion' that the cessation of those proceedings, and the release of a large sum so long unemployed for profitable investment, would, at an early period. justify a satisfac tory increase of dividends to the proprietors. The loss arising from the law proceedings would not exceed the sum now placed to the credit of the guarantee fund; and it was the intention of the directors, at the next meeting, to submit for the consideration of the proprietors a ' resolution to apply that fund, or such part of it as might be required, to its liqu.dation. Tue repo-t having been adopted, and a dividend of 5 per cent. declared, the balance--heet was read. It stated the gross pro- Eta of the year to amount to the sum of 33,7961. 9s. t Id. A vote of thanks was then pas=ed to the chairman and the direc tors, and the meeting separated. NIGHT BALLOON ASCFNT FROM CREMORNE HOUSE. —Thursday night Mr. C. Green made his 306th ascent in his " Albion" Balloon, from Cremorne House, it being the second night aerial trip this season. On the occasion there was a very numerous company in 41.e-geoetooveraird an additional variety of amusement was provided. The balloon was placed in the front ground, nearly adjoining to King's-road, arid a strong barrier ,as erected to prevent the immense throng from approaching ten near the men - emplo)ed in arranging the preparations for the ascent. This was to have taken place at ten o'clock ; but in consequence of the necessity of taking every necessary pre eaution against an accident, it did not occur till nearly a quarter to eleven o'clock. By this time, it being intended to h are a pyrotechnic exhibition after the balloon had reached an elevation of about 2.000 feet, a wooden frame work, about five feet in diameter , was attached to the car, with wh ic h was connected the apparatus to which the various fi rewor k s were fixed. About 4 cwt. of sand, in bags, the grappling irons, the barometer, &c., were also deposited in the car. Mr. C. G the word that he was ready, upon w hi c h ).e ii liberated '. himself, the band playing " God save ze e n d,a then t,iy Have the Queen." The ascent was slow, and, for several hundreds of yards directly perpendicular, the aeronaut being greeted with the loud cheers of the company. Having attained the altitude intended, a beautiful display of fireworks took place. An illu mination, successively, of white, pink, and gr,en colours was presented, which was followed by a discharge of Roman candles. A change occurred, which caused the frame-work to revolve, leading to a discharge of various-coloured stars. The whole concluded by a loud report , accomp anied b y a shower o f s ilver fire.

Ou Thursday last about 100 whales were discovered sporting their figures in our bay, when a grand turn out of gentle and simple was soon made, and every boat and lethal weapon that cculd be mustered were put in requisition. The bottle-noses, however, proved to be « too far north" to be caught by land lubbers. It is supposed they are still in the bay taking a breath ing, to be ready for another Chace.

CORN MXCIE NGE Several runs of Wheat came to hand from Essex, which, added to the quantities left unsold on Monday and Wedne l / 4 - day, formed rather an extensive supply of that article. The stormy weather experienced yesterday produced rather more inclination, on the part of the millers, to purchase in the early part of the day, but as the atmosphere became to- lerably fine, and as the letters received from various parts of the country state that no material damage has, as yet, been sustained by the growing crops, the demand became heavy, and Monday's. quotations were with difficulty supported. Indeed, to sell, lower rates must have been submitted to by the factors. At the • close of the market, a large portion of the English Wheat remained unsold. Although the show of free Foreign Wheat was small, that article met a very inactive 'demand, yet, in the few sales ef fected, previous rates were maintained. Scarcely a single transaction was reported in Corti under lock, the speculators being unusually cautious in their operations. The supply of Barley chiefly consisted of free foreign qualities. Grinding sorts were quite as dear, but all other kinds hung heavily on hand. We had a very lirLited quantity of Malt on offer. Superfine --White qualities moved off steadily at full prices. In other kinds exceedingly little was doing. Our notices at foot show a very limited arrival of Oats, owing to which the Oat trade was comparatively steady, and prices were well supported. In. Beans very little was doing, but Peas and Flour were quite as dear. • Several parcels of new Canary, Carraway, anti Rape Seed were on offer. Most of them sold at full prices. ARRIVALS.

On the wh&le, the supply of Beasts on sale here was tole rably extensive as to numbers, but very deficient as to quality. The few prime Scots offering sold at Monday's quotations, but all other breeds were very dull. We had on offer 80 Beasts and 100 Sheep from Holland, together with 2 . 00 Scots from Aberdeen. The numbers of Sheep were on the increase, owing to which the Mutton trade was heavy, at barely late rates. In Lambs only a moderate business was transacted, yet their currencies were supported. Calves were a dull sale, but not cheaper. Pigs moved off slowly, at our quotatiors. Nlilch Cows sold slowly, at from 161. to 191. each, inclhding their small calf.
