The Provisional Committee of this Company have to announce that the Great Western Railway Company having decided to make a portion of this line—viz. from Cheltenham to the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, this Company has consented to abandon that portion of this railway, to adopt the broad, gauge, and to commence from Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, near Stow-on-the-Wold, at the junc tion of the Cheltenham line, and proceed from thence by Chipping Norton to Banbury, there joining the Oxford and Rugby and the Birmingham and Oxford Railway (all of which are to be constructed on the broad-gauge principle), and from thence to Blisworth, joining the London and Birmingham and the North ampton and Peterborough Railways, whereby the most direct and shortet communication from the Bristol Channel to the North Sea will be completed. The Committee have further to state that the Allotment Commit tee have nearly completed the allotment of the shares, which has been protracted in consequence of the overwhelming number of ap plications. The letters of allotment will be issued the early part of next week. By order, ROBERT WATKINS, jun., Sec. 73, King William-street, London-bridge, Aug. 19, 1845. AILROADS IN THE ISLE OF WIGHT That the public may not be misled by the various statements that have appeared in some of the public papers, and in the pro spectus of the Isle of Wight Railways, I am desired to state, that at a Ceneral Meeting of the Landowners and Ratepayers of the island, held at Newport, on the 26th of June last, resolutions were carried declaring the opinion of the meeting to be adverse to the introduc tion of railways into the island, and that a-committee of gentlemen was at the same time appointed to watch the proceedings of the railway projectors; and I am further directed by this Committee to ~late, that not only will the scheme be opposed by the most influen tial landed proprietors through whose estates the railways would but that it is also intended to offer a vigorous public opposition the project in Parliament, should a Bill be sought for.

I.—With the departure of Prince Met ternich the political sun of Vienna has set. Most of the diplomatie stars of the first magnitude have also disap peared from the horizon to follow in the course of the great luminary, and hover, at a greater or lesser dis tance, about the Royal Congress at Stolzenfels, towards which all eyes are now turned, to catch the faintest sound of the tittle-tattle for which all ears are now opened; and to which, in fact, in spite of its appearance of a mere friendly visit from the Queen, on her way to C,burg, to the King of Prussia, all the political conjec tures, surmises, and calculations of the day are now di re.cted. It is g-nerally supposed that this opportunity will be seized upon by Prince Metternich to make a last effort towards persuading the King of Prussia to change his intention of giving a constitution to his people. Such an event, which must ne cessarily bring Prussia nearer in connexion with the constitutional states of England and France, and conti nue to a still greater extent the separation effected, in part, between Austria and Prussia, by the great German commercial league, cannot but be looked upon with evil el es by the former Government. The grant of the Prusidan constitution also cannot fail of exciting to a still greater extent the demands made upoh Austria by the many people of its sundered provinces. Concessions have alrearly been made in Moravia and Upper Austria. The uneasy kingdoms of Lombardy, Bohemia, &c., will, naturally, not be behindhand in calling for greater privi liger ; and, whatever may be the consequences to the Austrian dominions of this grant of a constitution in Prussia, there cell be no doubt that they will be consi derable ; and Austria is necessarily greatly on the alert to avert or modify results that may prove injurious to its internal peace. A proof of this anxiety on the part of the Austrian Goverment may be found in the many new enactments passed to ameliorate the condition of the army and miti gate the rigour of the military service, and in the milder and more paternal regulations lately effected to attach the soldiery more closely, and by a better tie, to the Go vernment. By these conciliatory measures in favour of the army, it evidently hopes to find a point dappui in the time of need ; and this fact, at such a juncture, is as im portant as it is remarkable. Nevertheless, it is presumed that Metternich, however aware he may be that Prussia has already advanced too far to retreat—that too much has already b9en said for nothing to be done—will seek tt2 employ, at the meeting of the Monarchs on the Rhine, his last chance of persuasion upon the King of Prussia to return upon his steps and withdraw the expected constitution. The failure of any such hope can scarcely be doubted fur a moment ; but Prince Metternich is not a mail to leave a stone unturned. Should events, how ever, run their expected course, it may be surmised that Austria will find itself compelled to follow, although at a distance, in the same course, and instead of severing itself entirely from the other German States, will seek means to approach them nearer, and bind itself with them again more closely. Among the latest rumours afloat in the political circles of this capital is the renewed supposition of a marriage between the Count de Chambord (the Duke de Bordeaux) and a Princess of Modena. The little court balls lately given at Sclicenbrunn in honour of the Modena family, combined with the presence of the members of the elder branch of the Bourbons, have again given rise to these coejectures. The opening of the great line of railroad from Vienna to Prague is definitively fixed for the 20th of this month. The entire corps diplomatique, or rather such of its mem bers as still linger in Vienna as charge d'affaires ad 1, t.>iim. have been invited to accompany the Emperor 'rpm the expedition, which is to take place on the occa sion of the solemnity of opening this new and important line. It will ba possible to accomplish the whole distance from Viontra to Prague in one day ; but upon this occa sion the first day's journey will be ended at Brunn, where the Emperor, with his whole brilliant cortege, will be re ceived by the Moravian authorities ; speeches will be male and banquets given. The next day the Austrian Court will arrive at Prague, where festivities and various solemnities will take place for two days. On the sth it is proposed that the Emperor, with his train of distin guished guests, sheelel return to Vienna.—Times. COURT CIRCULAR.

MERCIIANT SEAM EN. - There are seventeen provi sions in the Act pamed on the Bth inst., for the protection of seamen entering on board merchant ships. It seems that the seamen of this kingdom (according to the preamble of the Act) have been for several years past subjected to grievous imposi tions and great injustice by certain persons who have under taken to procure seamen to enter on board merchant ships who had no interest in the same. It is now provided that, from the Ist of September next, the Hoard of Trade shall license persons to hire, engage, or provide seamen on board merchant ships, which license shall be revocable by the same authority. From the day mentioned :ao person is to engage seamen for the merchant service, except those authorised, nor are persons connected with the vessels, who have power to hire, to receive men from other than the persons licensed, under penalties de tailed. Persons are not to be permitted on board merchant vessels before their arrival in the dock, or at the place of dis charge of the cargo, without permission. A penalty is to be enforced against persons soliciting sailors to become lodgers in houses of unlicensed persons, or in removing their effects from on board. There is also a provision to prevent sailors being charged a larger sum than due, as also to prevent the detention of their money or effects. These provisions show that sailors require great protection to be afforded them. The Act, with the exception of the licenses to be granted, is to commence on the Ist of November next.

While the ministerial organs chuckle, as in duty bound, over the Chichester, Cirencester, Warwick, and Sunderland elections, we, who own no ministerial alle giance, may doubt whether this accord of constituencies denotes so much love of Sir ROBERT PEEL as defective electoral institutions. With the ballot at Chichester would Lord ARTHUR LENNOX, the Duke of RICHMOND'S brother, but member of a Government which the Duke of RICHMOND distrusts, have necessarily triumphed, by the Duke of RICHMOND'S influence, over the Duke of RICHMOND'S politics ? With the ballot at Cirencester, would Mr. CRIPPS, stripped of Lord BATHURST'S in fluence, and the influence of his father's bank, and left to the resources of his own eloquence, have been sure of re-election ? Is it even clear that the Cirencester con stituency of two or three hundred is entitled to be repre sented ? Armed with the ballot, the Warwick electors would, doubtless, have snapped their fingers at Warwick Castle, and laughed in the face even of a Greenwich commissioner. And with the ballot we will not believe that the electors of Sunderland would have made a shameless sacrifice of public duty to local interest ; and, under the great responsibility of choosing a worthy successor to Lord HOWICK, have allowed a mere fortu nate railway adventurer to triumph over the venerable author of the Corn-law Catechism. Other questions have for some time past thrown ques ons of Parliamentary reform into the back-ground but, sooner or later, public attention will be again roused to the necessity of the ballot, and to the large number of small nomination and corrupt boroughs which still disfigure our representative system. We can conceive nothing more likely to revive the interest in further Par liamentary reform than such a batch of farces of election as has just now followed a shuffle of the small Govern ment cards. One more such farce is to be played in Linlithgowshire, where a Government dummy. who has been rewarded for a few years' service of silent voting by the governorship of the Isle of Man, is to be replaced, by dint of landlord influence and faggot votes, by ano ther adherent of Sir R. PEEL. Belfast, abandoned by Mr. EMERSON TENNENT for a life-provision in Ceylon and a knighthood, will nut allow itself to be made over quite so quietly to another Conservative ; and Mr. O'CoNNELL's son raises the banner of repeal against the house of Chichester. In losing Mr. EMERSON TENNENT the Government have lost the sole representative of a large manufacturing constituency among them. Mr. CARDWELL, to be sure, represents a small English manufacturing borough— Clithero; but Mr. CARDWELL was carefully placed in an office which did not require re-election, because he did not dare to run the risk of defeat, and, whenever a general election comes, Mr. CARDWELL will have to look elsewhere. It is somewhat strange, also, that Mr. EMERSON TENNENT'S vacancy in the Government has not been filled by some other Irish representative. Ire land has anything but its fair share of representation in Sir U. PEEL'S Government. Mr. EMERSON TENNENT gone, the only two officials connected with Ireland are two representatives of Irish counties, but hardly Irish men—Mr. CORRY, Secretary to the Admiralty, who re presents Tyrone, and Mr. JOHN YOUNG, Secretary to the Treasury, who represents Cavan. We mention this, not to fan any vulgar jealousy, but as a proof of the small hold of Sir It. PEEL'S Government on any popular feeling. Mr. SHEIL, Mr. M. O'FERRALL, and Mr WYSE, were members of the Whig Government. Mr YOUNG and Mr. CORRY, the representatives of Ireland in Sir It. PEEL'S Government, are Englishmen in all country. A Government, we believe, more wanting in popular strength, could not be put together than that of Sir R. PEEL. Every new accession is an accession not of talent, or of the representative of a popular constituency, but of aristocratic or monied interest, and respectable, but certainly not sublime, mediocrity. Never was there a Government, among whose younger members was there less talent, or less future promise : and yet, when Sir ROBERT PEEL has an opportunity of adding three re cruits, whom does he take but Lord MAHON, Sir C. DouoLAs, and Mr. CRIPPS, not one of whom—not even Lord ManoN, with all his admitted literary accomplish ments--has given any sign that the public know of, of Parliamentary ability. There are young mea of talent among Sir RonEter PEEL'S party : but the genius of sublime mediocrity repels talent, and talent will not tie itself down to an undeviating allegiance to Sir ROBERT PEEL'S cupid mo'tuum of Conservatism. And so such men as Lord JOHN MANNERS, Mr. MONRTON MILNES, and Mr. SMYTHE, are passed over for Sir CHARLES DJUGLAS, LORD ARTHUR LENNOX, and Mr. CRIPPS. The Universal German Gazette gives the following account of a serious riot which occurred at Leipsig, on the occasion of the visit of Prince JOHN of Saxony to that town : " LEIPSIG, SAXONY, Au°. 12.—Yesterday Prince John arrived here, to review the troops'of the Communal Guard. A great crowd assembled at the review, and the Prince ap peared well pleased with the appearance of the troops, and the manner in which the manmuvres were performed. At nine o'clock at night the strums beat the tattoo. At that moment there was a great tumult, and we deplore to state that great excess was committed. We do not know why the authori ties did not take immediate steps to stop the disorders. It was net till ten o'clock that the guard was called out. On its arrival, it cleared the square before the Hotel de Prusse. We arc assured that the rioters were warned several times, and that the soldiers did not receive orders to fire till the last extremity; but it is beyond a doubt that these warnings were not heard, for the persons nearest to the soldiers escaped, and it was only those who were at the greatest distance who were struck by the ball. Nine persons were killed, among whom one is the father of a family, who was coming out of his own house at the moment, to inquire what was the matter. The number of wounded is about twenty. The crowd imme diately dispersed. The whole of the troops were then called out, but it was three in the morning before order was re-esta blished. This morning the Prince left the town. The greatest agitation prevails everywhere, but it is hoped that the Communal Guard will be sufficient to prevent further disor ders. The magistrates have issued an order that the doors of all private houses should be closed at nine o'clock in the evening, and forbidding assemblages of people in the streets. It also orders all coffee-houses and taverns to be closed at nine o'clock." The cause of the riot was the exasperation of the people against Prince JOHN, who being a bigotted Ca tholic, is one of the most open and declared opponents of the Protestant Church, and who in the Council of State opposed the proposition for granting liberty of worship to the new German church. On his arrival on the ground he was saluted with cries of " Vive Rouge," " Down with the Jesuits ;" and the people sang Lu- THER'S Cantique in full chorus, and also an appropriate song from SCHILLER. The Prince, who left Leipsig early on the morning of the 13th, was hooted out of the town by the inhabitants. The Frankfort Journal states that the German Catho lics of Stuttgard have announced their intention of separating themselves from the Roman Catholic Church, Lecause they consider the doctrines and usages of the latter as in a great measure incompatible with the spirit of the universal Christian Apostolical Church. We have received the Paris papers of Sunday. The Journal des Debuts publishes the following, dated Tangiers, Aug. 6 : " The ratification of the treaty of lAlla-Maghrina had been exchanged two or three days before. " General DELARUE quitted Tangiers to return to France." The National gives an evidently exaggerated account of what it calls " serious disorders," which it states broke out at Bordeaux on the preceding Saturday, on the occasion of the ball given to the Duke DE NEMOURS by the authorities of the city. More persons, it would appear, had been invited than the room would accom modate ; there was consequently a great crush --many of ;he mob outside forced their way into the room, as did several pickpockets ; great confusion ensued. The dragoons arid gendarmes were ordered to clear the approaches, but were resisted by the National Guards however, no mischief was done, and no person hurt, we doubt the truth of this latter part of the story. The Princes arrived at the ball, remained a short time, and retired, and the mob which had collected outside re mained until two in the morning, and amused themselves by singing the " Marseillaise." The KING was at Eu in the enjoyment of excellent health. The Prince and Princess of JoINVILLE, and the Prince of SALERNO, were expected at the Chateau of Eu on the 20th or 21st iast. It would appear that, in consequence of the recent fire at Toulon, extraordinary precautions are about to be adopted in the French dockyards and arsenals. La Fittte says— " The Major-General of the Marine at Rochefort has just submitted to the Maritime Prefect certain regulations, in order to prevent the facility with which strangers obtain admission to the yards. This officer has already made a report upon the slight watch which is kept in the interior of the arsenals at night, and he demands an augmentation of the brigade of maritime gendarmerie, so as to be enabled to establish frequent patrols during the night." The Moniteur Algerien announces that Marshal BUGEAUD had retired to Algiers, on the sth, from his campaign to the east of Dellys. It also states that ADD• EL-KADER has again retired to Morocco, and that he has been followed by several large tribes of the desert, to the south of Tlemcen. This new emigration is be lieved to fill 6,000 tents, and can supply him with 2,000 horse, in addition to his regular cavalry of 800, and his infantry, which is reckoned at near 800 men. " The numerous tribes (adds the Moniteur) which surround Abd-el-Kader, from time to time detach small parties of cavalry, which, being joined by Moorish adventurers, frequently come and insult our western frontier. The Moorish chiefs seem to take no step to oppose their depredations. Abd-el- Kader has not assembled so many people around him without intending to:return to the Tell. We must, therefore, still be vigi lant on the western and southern frontier of the province of Oran. This vigilance will greatly fatigue our troops, but it is unavoidable." It would appear that a duel a routrance, to con tinuo until one of the parties shall fall, is to take place at Algiers, under sanction of the authorities, be tween Generals BOURGON and BOURJOLLY. On this subject the Reforme has the following : " There is much talk in Algiers relative to a duel d l'ou trance, which is to come off in this town shortly, with the permission of the Minister of War, between Generals Bourgon and Bourjolly ; the seconds are General Kiorte for General Bourjolly. and General Yussuf (the Arab), for General Bour gon. The duel is to take place on horseback. The corn batatants to use pistols first, and if those be not effectual, swords afterwards. Even the ground upon which this event is to take plaee is publicly mentioned. How are we to reconcile this Ministerial authorisation of a duel with the jurisprudence which the Government directs to be carried on with vigour? Having already annulled the decision of the Cour Royale of Paris, which stated that there was no legal offence in M. Beau vallon's killing M. Dujarrier in a duel, the Court of Cessation no later than yesterday gave similar judgment in the case of a duel which the Cour Royale of Rennes had declared was not punishable by law !" Great fears are entertained on the subject of the harvest and the vintage, in consequence of the continu ance of the wet weather. The price of wheat had increased during the last week in 22 markets of France, and decreased only in 5. There was nothing done in the Funds on Sunday in Paris.

The demand for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was rather moderate; sales 4,000 bales, all to the trade, and chiefly American. Prices were firmly supported.—Shares, though slightly better, were still dull. We are glad to see a sensible view taken of the present po sition of the market for all the great staples affected by the extension of railway works, among the Canadian timber interest, for here the iron trade has, despite of experience, proved rather unteachable, and much too anxious to realise enormous profits, having, in their eagerness, almost over hunted their game. The following from Bytown will illus trate our meaning, while it shows how steadily some of the Canadian settlements have risen into prosperity : "The growth of Bytown has been of late greatly accele lerated. In almost every street we see new houses being erected, or wooden ones giving place to those of more durable materials, although the town is not yet nineteen years old. Six or seven churches, five bank agencies, and though last, not least, three newspapers, betoken our district town a place of no inconsiderable importance. It is, in fact, becoming the great inland emporium of the lumber trade, and to the present very flourishing state of that trade must the recent increase of Bytown be, in a great measure, though not en tirely, attributed. "Looking farther abroad, it is evident that the present great demand for Canadian timber is caused by the expansion of the railroads and other speculations in the mother country. Things, however, that expand, sometimes burst; and, should the undertakings we have alluded to receive any sudden check, the inevitable effect would be a fall of prices at Quebec, and corresponding embarrassment here. "It would be well, likewise, to remember, that the very high price of lumber this summer at Quebec, has a tendency to lessen the quantity of shipping next year, and likewise to da mage those merchants there who may have made contracts to ship timber at much lower rates than those at which they can purchase." The Tay steamer was off Southampton this morning, but we do not expect her papers until late this afternoon. We have looked into some exceedingly useful tables for calculating the value of railway shares which have been com piled by Mr. Edwin Robinson of the Stock Exchange, and adopted by several leading firms connected with that esta• blishment, and from their correctness, as well as their com prehensiveness, beginning at the lowest and ending at the highest number of shares, they must prove highly desirable fur those who are not much accustomed to share calculations.

PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY OF THE COMMISSIONERS. -REFUSAL OF SUMMONSES UNDER THE SMALL I)EDTS Acr.—ln the course of an application for a summons under the Small Debts Act, the Learned Commissioner, at the rising of the Court, gave some very strong reasons for the opinion which had been come to by himself and Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque, that they ought not to take judgment papers as proof of judg ments. They were (he said) the most unintelligible documents he knew of ; they ended with, " For that whereas," &c., and he was asked to jump to a conclusion that there was a judgment. The attorney said it was not required except under circumstances that the roll should be made up. The COMMISSIONER-I must be satisfied there is a judgment ; I must have a copy of it. The attorney said if that was deemed absolutely neces sary the expense would be such that few persons would follow out the Act. The Learned6O3I3IISSIONER said it had been held that they were personally responsible if they ex ceeded the law ; he should, therefore, take care to be on the safe side ; he must have an authenticated copy—a mere office copy not authenticated would not do; they might be good enough in the courts from whence they issued, but not in others. There arose another question. It appeared that they only had power over cases where judgments had been issued by courts having competent jurisdiction. From that it would appear the Commissioners must inquire as to the jurisdiction of the other court, for if no jurisdiction existed the whole pro ceedings would be bad. From all these circumstances, and as he might be called upon to commit under the Act, he should refuse to take any proceedings except under the strict letter of the Act. It should be underst )od that the judgment paper only contains a few lines, although it bears the seal of the court, as though the whole proceed ings were detailed. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY OLD COURT. (Before the CommoN SERGEANT and Mr. Alderman T. Wow%) EMBEZZLEMENT.—Edward Thomas, 23, a linendraper, in the employment of Messrs. Shoolbred and Co., Totten ham-court-road, was placed at the bar charged with having appropriated to his own use the sum of 55., being part of an account paid to him, on behalf of his em ployers. Mr. Doane was for the prosecution ; Mr. Clarkson for the prisoner. It was proved in evidence that Mrs. Duncan, a cus • tomer, in Torrington-square, had purchased goods to the amount of 1/. ss. 4d., but the prisoner only rendered an account for 1/. Os. 4d. sold, and the latter amount he paid into the cashier's hands. It was proved also that before leaving the warehouse to call upon M rs . D uncan h e re ceived3os., lest change might be required, and he did not return the full amount, for which offence he was dis charged the same evening. On the succeeding day he returned for his clothes, and it having been ascertained by that time that he had retained ss. received from Mrs. Duncan, he was given into custody. Mr. CLARKSON briefly reviewed the evidence for the prosecution, and contended that nothing criminal was proved, inasmuch as the goods returned not being mea sured, it would be absolutely impossible to say what quantity had been sold by the prisoner. Ile (Mr. Clark son) admitted that the prisoner had, to a certain extent, misconducted himself, because it was undoubtedly the fact that he was in a considerable degree intoxicated, azd therefore unable properly to explain the state of his accounts. He thought that sufficient doubt existed as to any criminal intention on the part of the young man at I the bar to warrant the jury in discharging him. The COMMON SERGEANT summed up iria manner very favourable to the prisoner, and the jury, after consulting a few minutes, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. lie was consequenty discharged. THEFT.— William Anderson, a boy of 15, was indicted for stealing from the person of Mrs. Ann Carr the sum of 2L 18s. The prosecutrix stated that she was on board the Prince of Wales, Margate steam er , an d , on arriving at London-bridge, she was pressed very much by the prisoner, and, on searching her pockets, found that her money had been taken. There was a crush at the time, as persons were anxious to get ashore. Hillier, a porter, thought that the prisoner was the thief, and he then called a constable. Since that time, however, he was somewhat doubtful that the boy at the bar was the right one after all. The constable, on searching the prisoner, after taking him int) custody, found upon his person four sovereigns, a fourpenny piece, some halfpence, and a gold watch. Mr. CLARKSON cr , mmented upon the want of evidence in the case, and particularly upon the different state ments made by Hillier before the magistrate and in that Court, and contended therefrom that no jury in the world could return a verdict of guilty thereupon. The COMMON SERGEANT summed up, and laid great stress upon the fact that the prisoner was in possession of four sovereigns and a gold watch, and yet the jury were left in total ignorance of who he was. The case was, however, in the hands of the jury. A verdict of Not Guilty was returned. SUGAR.—The market for British Plantation is very firm ; about 400 hhds have been sold at fully previous rates. The public sales have consisted chiefly of 6,401 bags Mauritius ; COO bags Bengal ; 2,797 baskets Java (subject to 23s 4d duty). All the Mauritius and Bengal found buyers, the former at 38s 6d to 45s 6d for low to good brown. and low to fine yellow at 463 to 55s per cwt, being in most in stances 2s to 3s above the prices obtained on the 25th ultimo, but chiefly upon the low and mid sorts.; the Bengal sold at 59s 6d to 64s 6d for very fine grainy yellow and white, and 46s to 50s for IJw to good yellow, which are high rates. Nearly all the Java was disposed of (partly for refining here, and partly for export), at 50s 6d to 56s 6d for low to fine greyish, yellow and low white being comparatively cheap. SALTPETRE.-450 bags Bengal sold at 24s to 24s 6d for 12 to 9* per cent. refraction, which is the previous value. TALLOW.—P.Y.C. is 40s 9d to 41s per cwt on the spot, and Town 43s 6d.

VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE-CHANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.) His Honour the Vice-Chancellor of England sat in his private room at Lincoln's Inn to-day, for the purpose of hearing of any applications that parties might think it necessary to make to him, as the equity judge during the vacation. NOAKES AND ANOTHER V. ALLEN.—EVERETT'S BLACKING. Mr. HEATEFIELD applied to-day, on behalf of the plaintiffs upon notice for a special injunction to restrain the defendant from selling or disposing of, or causing to be sold or disposed of, any blacking or composition under the name of " Everett's Blacking," or " Everett's Pre mier Blacking." It appeared from the statement of the Learned Counsel, that the plaintiffs were the legitimate successors of the late Mr. Wm. Everett, whose name has almost as great a notoriety among the manu facturers and venders of that useful liquid called blacking, as " Day and Martin," and the famous " Robert Warren, of 30, Strand." After Mr. Everett's death the business was carried on by his widow ; and upon her death the plaintiffs, who had married her daughter, continued to carry on the busi ness. Some time since they discovered that the de fendant was selling his blacking in bottles with labels upon them that were the complete counterpart of those used by the plaintiffs. Communications took place be tween the parties on the subject, but the defendant still persisting in selling his blacking as that manufactured by the plaintiffs, the present bill was filed, and notice had beenserved upon him of the intentions of the plaintiffs to make the present motion. The Learned Counsel stated that, notwithstanding the notice, the defendant had not thought proper to appear, and he apprehended therefore that he was entitled to the injunction he asked. His Honour granted the injunction, restraining the defendant, his servants, workmen, and agents from sel ling or disposing of, or procuring to be sold or disposed of, or exposing to sale, any blacking or composition under the name of, or as, or for, or described as, or pur porting to be the same blacking as was made and sold by William Everett in his lifetime, and is now made and sold by the complainants, or under the name of, or as, or for, ordescribed as, or purporting to be Everett's Black ing, orEverett's Premier Blacking, and particularly from selling or disposing of, or procuring to be sold or dis posed of, or exposing to sale any blacking or composi tion in bottles having affixed thereto such labels as are in this cause described, or any other labels so contrived or expressed as by colourable imitation, or otherwise to represent the blacking or composition contained in such bottles to be the same as the blacking or composition manufactured and sold by William Everett during his lifetime, and now manufactured and sold by the com plainants, or to be Everett's Blacking, or Everett's Pre mier Blacking, and also from delivering over or parting with such labels and bottles, or any of them, to any per son or persons other than the complainants, or such per • son as they shall appoint to receive the same. MANN V. RICKETTS. Mr. COOPER applied in this case upon motion to stay the sale of certain large estates in Shropshire, and also all proceedings under the order of the Master of the Rolls, until the House of Lords had given judgment upon the appeal from that order. His HONOUR, considering there was no ground for the application, dismissed it with costs. His HONOUR, in the course of the morning, intimated that it was his intention to remain in town till Tuesday, and that in the interim he should sit once or twice to hear any cases that might press. The COMMON SERGEANT said he should make no order for the delivery to the prisoner of the money taken from him. UTTERING FORGED ORDERS.— William Squire, 34, draper, was charged with having feloniously uttered a forged request for the delivery of goods, with intent to defraud Richard Barnett and another. Mr. Doane defended the prisoner. Mr. Joseph Bates, foreman to Richard Barnett and Co., clothiers, Covent-garden, said that the prisoner had, on the 3d of July, delivered an order, purporting to be from Mr. Clitheroe, of Goswell•street•road (formerly an em ployer of the prisoner), for 31 yards invisible green cloth. Witness refused to give the cloth, and two days after the prisoner was taken into custody. Mr. Doane called witnesses as to character. The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the pri soner was sentenced to one year's imprisonment, with hard labour. THEFT.—Francis Cavalier, 33, a watchmaker, was indicted for .stealing a watch, value 2/. 10s., the property of Cclestin Grosney. Mr. Hurry appeared for the prisoner. The evidence showed that the prisoner had had the watch to repair, and pledged it. Evidence was called to character. The prisoner was indicted on other charges of a similar character. Verdict—Guilty. Sentence, one year's imprisonmen with hard labour. LARCENY.—John Smith, servant, aged 35, was in dicted fim stealing- one dish cover, one mug, and a silver image of the " Good Queen Bess," the property of Peter McEvoy, his master, and a Si. Bank note and two sovereigns, the property of John Bradfield, his fellow servant. The prisoner was proved to have been drunk in a cab. and offering the silver dish cover in payment of his fare, lie was taken into custody, and the different articles and sums stolen were, with the exception of the two sove• reigns, found upon him. Guilty.—Sentenced to ten years' trausportation. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) Samuel Cox and Susannah Ba' ton were placed at the bar on the followinc , charge :—Police constable, No. 44 of the C division, stated that, between the hours of eleven and twelve o'clock last night, he was called by Mr. Bishop, a housekeeper of Poland-street, Oxford-street, who said he suspected that there was a suspicious cha racter about his premises. Mr. Bishop then proceeded to the back parlour, in which the female prisoner who had been in his service as housemaid for two years was sleeping, and was knocking at the door to arouse her, when the male defendant came out of the room at ano ther door with his clothes on his arm, and was making towards the street-door, when witness stopped him ; the servant was found undressed and in bed, and Mr. Bishop gave charge of both of them. The young man was o good character and had worked for a considerable time at a large manufactory in the neighbourhood. For se veral months past he had been courting the girl. It did not, however, appear how Mr. Bi s hop ma d e th e dis covery that his servant was harbouring her sweetheart. Mr. MALTBY inquired if Mr. Bishop was in attend ance ? The constable said he was not, nor did he be lieve he intended to come forward. Mr. MALTBY—The defendants will then of course be discharged. _ _ _ The iouthful couple left the Court in a very despond ing mood. CAMBRIDGE, AUG. 18.—Mr. T. Taylor, Fellow of Trinity College, has been appointed Professor of the English Language and Literature to University Col lege, London, in the room of Dr. Robert Latham, of Upper Southwick street, Hyde-park, Fellow of King's College, in this university, who resigned the chair a short time since. The Rev. William Whitelock, 8.A., of St. John's College, has just been appointed to the Mastership of Penrith Grammar-school, Cumberland. The marriage of Miss Mary Frances Blomfield, daughter of the Lord Bishop of London, with the Rev. Prebendary C. B. Dalton, one of his Lordship's chaplains, is fixed for Thursday next. and will take place at Ful ham. The Very Rev. Archdeacon Hale has been selected to perform the ceremony. THE BISHOP OF ST. ASAFIL—The Bishop of St. Asaph (Dr. Carey) remains seriously indisposed, and has been ordered not to leave London for his episcopal residence in Wales ; indeed, fears are entertained that he will not survive his present attack. GREENWICH REGATTA. —A very excellent rowing match, under the patronage of Earl Fitzhardinge, Admiral Stopford, and the nobility and gentry of the vicinity, amongst six young watermen of the place, came off yesterday, in the presence of some thousands of spectators. It was won, after five heats, by James Allen. FOOT RACE.—Yesterday the match between Brittle, of Tottenham, and Tucker, of London, came off on two miles of road at Tottenham. The men were to contest six miles, for 51. a side, and were restricted to walk the distance fair toe and heel. They stet ted at a good pace, and performed the first mile together. Two milli& were turned in nineteen minutes, and half the dis tance concluded by Tucker in twenty-eight minutes and fifty seconds, and at a lead of thirty yards. At the ter mination of the fifth mile the men were walking abreast, both struggling for the goal. The race was hoe ever won by Brittle by eighty yards ; he accomplished the six miles in fifty-eight minutes and ten seconds. Both men walked fair, and were not called upon to turn throught the match. Hull docks are crowded with shipping. On Wed nesday the blue flag was hoisted, to announce that no more vessels could be admitted. The warehouses are filled with bales of manufactured goods for export, and all is activity along the quays.—Leeds Paper. THE CAMP AT BORDEAUX.—Extract of a letter, dated Aug. 13 :—" Yesterday took place the first re view of the troops at the Camp of St. Medard. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess de Nemours left the Palace at nine o'clock, and reached St. Medard about ten. The review commenced about eleven o'clock, under the command of the Duke d'Aumale, and lasted two hours. It was a mere inspection. The camp indeed is a very poor affair, though great sums of money must have been expended in erecting sheds and barracks, and transporting forage and all s orts of stores to this sandy desert. About 10,000 men were passed in review. The spectacle was repeatedly interrupted by heavy showers of rain, which added to the :disappoint ment and annoyance of the spectators. It is calculated that 30,090 persons were present to see this fine sight." STRANGE OCCURRENCE AND AWFULLY SUDDEN DEATH.—On Tuesday last, a Major Parry, of the Royal Marines, arrived at Llwynduris, in the county of Cardigan, the seat of John Griffith, Esq., on a visit to that gentle man. The hour of his arrival in a post-chaise from New castle-Emlyn being as late as ten o'clock in the evening, after partaking of some slight refreshment, he shortly retired to rest, and complaining of shortness of breath he desired the servant to tuck up the bed-curtains and open the window in order to have a little air ; the servant re monstrated as to lifting up the window, observing that the night air was very cold, but that the tucking up of the bed curtains would afford him sufficient air. The servant then retired. At an early hoar in the morning the Major rang his bell, and upon one of the maid servants answering, he asked for a glass of water. He was then sitting on a chair by the bedside with one of the blankets wrapped about him ; the servant, after taking up the water was desired to withdraw. The footman some time afterwards went up to inquire how he was ; he knocked at the door several times, and receiving no answer, he gently opened it, when he found the Major in the same position as the maid servant had left him, only that his head was reclining on the bed, and was apparently dead. The servant then communicated his fears immediately to his master, who instantly left his room, and, upon seeing the Gallant Major, observed that he was no more. An inquest was held upon the body, and the verdict returned was "Natural death." The Major had secreted in a belt round his body 1051. in Bank of Eng land notes, and 11/. loose money in his pocket. He has, we understand, considerable property in the neighbour hood of Llanidloes, in the county of Montgomery, where some of his family reside.—Carmarthen Journal. REMARKABLE FECUNDITY IN THE BLACKBIRD.-- Early in the spring of the present year, Captain Stephens discovered, in an evergreen, in his garden, at the front of • the house near Presteign, a black bird's nest. He watched the industrious couple regularly, and they brought forth five young ones. In due time the brood took to flight. A short time afterwards the old hen laid four eggs, began to hatch, and the kung ones came forth; this second brood also flew. The hen commenced her third hatch, having laid four more eggs, and at this time there are four fine young blackbirds in the nest, making 'l3 young ones at three broods in the same season. The hen bird is so tame as to allow the captain to place his hand on her when she is on the nest.—Hereford Journal THE GREENLAND FISHERY.--SinCe our last publi cation no less than four vessels have arrived in this port, after successful fishing, viz., on Sunday, the Jane, with 3 700, seals and one whale, yielding together 40 tuns of oil ; and the Lord Gambier, 1,060 seals, three fish, 25 tuns; on Monday, the Forth, 18 seals, four fish, 60 tuns ; and on Tuesday, the Hebe, two fish, 30 tuns. The latter vessel has made two good fishing voyages this year, since the 28th of March. Several of the vessels brought bears, which are valuable for their skins and oil, and the Forth has on board a sea unicorn dead, the horn or spear of which, issuing from the nose, is three feet long. The creature measured about eight feet, exclusive of the horn. The unicorns are similar in general features, habits, oil, &c., to the *hale, with the exception of the horn and that the skin is speckled. The largest measures about thirty-two feet, includ ing their bony weapon, which is one-fourth their entire length. The ships bring no news of the Bon Accord, T rue l ove , P r i nce of Wale s . an d - Constantia, the latter on her second voyage.— Hull Advertiser. THE LATE SUPPOSED MURDER IN WHITECHAPEL. —Yesterday Mr. Baker held an adjourned inquest, at the London Hospital, on the body of Michael Robert Edwards, aged forty, a seaman, the person supposed to have been murdered under an archway in Essex-street (the new street), Whitechapel. It will be recollected that a poor one-legged pot man was taken before the Magistrate on the charge, but discharged and remune rated for loss of time. Nothing yesterday was proved, further than extensive injuries to the head, either from a fall or blows, caused death ; and the jury, therefore, returned a verdict of—" Found dead." BELL-STEALING.—During the last fortnight a large number of house and garden-bells have been stolen from the houses in the neighbourhood of Clapton and Stamford-hill. In Springfield no fewer than six garden-bells were carried off. Despite various stratagems fur the detection of the offenders, no clue was obtained till last Saturday, when Hunter, a police officer of the N division, observing a well-known character, named Chapman alias Williams, walking along the Lea with a coat slung over his shoulder, stopped him, and on searching him found four bells, which were identified as belonging to some houses at Upper Clapton. On Saturday Daltry, an officer, apprehended two more notorious characters at the rear of a house at Lower Homerton. It is said that a rich harvest has been reaped by a gang of fellows in the metropolis, who have carried on the bell warfare with great success.
