Bazael, would leave nothing on his part undone to facili tate the execution of those works ; that the administration had had assurances from the municipal council of Belgium to the effect that every facility would be offered by them for the extension of the line in that direction, that travellers who were now compelled to take the route by Abbeville, Bau vais, and the other towns in that direction to Paris, would very gladly avail themselves of this, in consequence of the much shorter time the journey to the French metropolis from Boulogne would then occupy. The report then went on to say, that the line of route from .Amiens, it was proposed by the " administration," should be by Noyelles-sur-Mer from Amiens, close by the town of Valery ; that as it passed through Amiens it should cross the river that watered that town, and thence on to Estaple, leaving which town, it would run along by the valley of the Liami to Boulogne, where it would for the present form its second termini: that the total length of the line so far would be 123 kiloms., which could be easily traversed in about seven hours; that the line was almost a perfect level for one half of the entire distance, and that the other half was to run along a country of such a nature, that the cuttings would be very trifling, the gradients by no means steep, the works generally presenting no engineering difficulties whatever, and that there would not be a single tunnel upon the whole of the line; that near the town of Estaple the line will cross the river Conche at the part delineated in the map, by means of a viaduct, 250 metres lone. (about 600 feet), a work to the formation of which very few difficulties of any mo ment presented themselves. But at Amiens the line would meet the great northern line, and it was proposed that the stations of both those companies at Amiens should be one and the same, i.e., one station common to the use of both, provided some impediment that could not now be foreseen did not arise to mar so desirable an arrangement. That the land required for the cuttings and other works in the different arrondissements through which it was proposed the line should pass, had been submitted to courts of arbitration, to determine its value, and that in every case the question of claim for compensation had been amicably and most satisfactorily arranged. That before the end of the present year, the works, shops, &c, and the most important part of the line will have been completed; and that before the end of the year 1846, the principal works between Amiens and Estaple, will also have been completed; and that every arrangement had been made to insure the completion of the works on that portion of the line between Amiens and Abbeville, by the same period, and that there fore the "administration" had every reason to hope that the entire of the line from one terminus to the other would be finished and thrown open to the public by the month of May, 1847. The report then entered into an elaborate detail of the many advantages that would accrue to the shareholders from the fact of their connexion with the Northern line, and having concluded with that assurance, it then set forth a statement of the receipts and expenditure of the company since its commencement, by which it appeared that the liabilities already incurred amounted to 11,897,789 f., leaving still in the hands of the treasurer a balance amounting to about 1,000,000 f. NEW SCHEMES, The following new projects were brought before the public last week : There has not been a great amount of business passing to day, but the market is more healthy, buyers being predo minant at the prices paid. The sales were—Eastern Coun ties, 20 1 4 —Leeds and Thirsk, 13—Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, 7%—Axholme, 48s. p.—Coventry, Nun eaton, &c., 2—DerbY and Gainsborough, 21. 12s.—Dudley, Madeley, and Iron bridge, 123. 6d. p.—East Lincolnshire, ' 314—Goole Doncaster, Sheffield, &c , Si. 17s.—Great North of Scotland, 414—Hull and Barnsley Junction, 2 1 / 4 p.—Lei cester and Bedford, 21. 7s.—Lincoln and Wainfleet, 10s. p. —Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle Junction, s—Lon don and York, s—Northampton, Bedford, and Cambridge, 7s. 6d.—Nottingham and Boston, 3% Rugby and Hun tingdon, 2 %s—South Midland, 41. 3s. 6d.—Shrewsbury and Trent Union, 1/. 17s.—Yorkshire and Glasgow Union, 3 1 4. _ _ YORK, Ocr. 25. __ _ _ OXFORD AND SLOUGIL—A line thirty-four miles in length between the above termini, intended to complete a direct communication between the whole of South Wales, Here ford, Gloucester, Cheltenham, Witney, and Oxford. Capital, 650,0001., in 20 1. shares. Mr. John Galloway is the engineer. MANCIIEWER, HEBDEN, AND KEIGHLET JUNCTION.—A line commencing virtually at Manchester, but actually at a junction with the Leeds and Manchester, at Hebden-bridge, and proceeding thence up the valley of that name towards the north-east, and by a tunnel through Cock-hill into the Haworth valley, and thence to Keighley, joining there the Leeds and Bradford Extension, with a branch to Oakworth, from near Keighley. Capital, 350,000/., in 17,500 share& Mr. Hawkshaw is the consulting engineer. BELGIUM AND CONTINENTAL DIRECT TRUNIC.—A line to commence at Termonde, on the Scheldt, communicating northwards with Terneuse, and proceeding southwards to Assche, Hall, Nivelles, Gosselles, and Gilley, and joining the State Railway about half-way between Montigny and Chat elet, and terminating at Vireux, the frontier town of France. The length of the line is 84 French leagues, and it is de signed as the first of a series of railways direct to the mouth of the Adriatic Sea. Capital, 1,200,000/.. in 60,000 shares. RUGBY, SWINDON, AND WEY3IOUTH DIRECT JUNCTION.— A line, intended to commence at Rugby, traversing the line of the Rugby and Oxford Railway as far as Banbury, thence proceeding along the line of the projected East and West of England Railway to Chipping Norton, to the contemplated junction of the proposed Cheltenham and Oxford Railway with the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton line, thence taking a southerly course through or near Burford, Lechlade, and Heyworth, to unite with the Great Western at Swindon ; then along that line to Chippenham, whence, by means of a branch to Troubridge, it will unite with the Wilts, Somer set, and Weymouth Railway. The capital is 700,0001., in 35,000 shares of 20/. each. DUBLIN AND ANTRIM.—A line to run by the east side of Lough Neagh, and is intended as a junction line to embrace all the traffic and carriage of passengers between Dublin and any other place north of Lurgan, and situate on the east side of Lough Neagh, including Aghalee, Ballinderry, Glenavy, Crumlin, Antrim, Randalstown, Ballymena, and Bally money. Capital, 200,000/., in 8,000 shares. Sir John Macneil is the engineer. LONDON AND NORTHAMPTON DIRECT ATMOSPHERIC.— From a "preliminary announcement" we gather that this scheme proposes principally to make use of the common roads, the railway being screened from the sight of the horses. The amount of capital is not named, but the shares are to be 20/. each. STOCK EXCHANGE.—The sales are—Newcastle and Dar lington, New (Brandling), 50—York and North Midland Ex tension, 25—Axholme, 53 —Cambridge and Lincoln, 5 Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester, 2 1 4 Direct Northern, 3—Grand Union, 2%—Leeds, York, and Illidland, 4s. p.—Leicester and Bedford, 2%—London and York, 5 Newcastle and Berwick, 16—Welsh Midlands, 3. LIVERPOOL SHARE MARKET. (From the Circular of Wills and Co., Stock and Sharebrokers, Liverpool.) An agreement has just been concluded between the Direc tors of the London and Birmingham and Grand Junction Companies, whereby every 1001. paid up capital of the Grand Junction and Liverpool and Manchester Companies is to be considered as 1201. paid up capital in the amalgamated Grand Junction and London and Birmingham Companies. The Grand Junction Company has also the privilege of creating new quarter shares, which are to par ticipate in the above arrangement. The effect of this an nouncement on our Stock Exchange was to raise the shares in the Grand Junction Company from 240/. to 2601., and in the Liverpool and Manchester Company from 212/. to 2201., and to depress, rather than increase, the value of the shares in the London and Birmingham Company. It remains to be seen whether the London and Birmingham Proprietors will sanction an arrangement which has manifestly had the effect of depreciating the market value of their property. Such a union of interests we have always strenuously advo cated, and trust that it will be satisfactorily carried out, in a fair and honourable way. Under all circumstances it will prove a serious blow to most of the new schemes, projected for the purpose of supplying direct communication between London and Liverpool. The Oxford, Worcester, and Wol verhampton shares, which were previously greatly reduced in value owing partly to the call of 101. per share, have been still further affected by this combination of these powerful companies, and those shares which three weeks since were quoted at 20/. are barely saleable to-day at 91. The immense amount of business which has been doing for the last few months in the shares of embryo railway companies, has at length, as might have been expected, in volved in considerable difficulties the great body of specu lators. The reaction came at last more suddenly, and more violently, than. was anticipated even by the most cautious, and indeed there does not appear to be any really adequate cause for the present extraordinary panic. _ _ GREAT WATERFORD, KILKENNY, LONGFORD, AND SLIGO. —A line about eighty miles in length. The capital is 1,000,0001., in 251. shares. Sir John Alacneil is consulting eng_ineer. BRIDGNORTII, MADELET, SIIIFFNALL, AND LIVERPOOL DinEcr.—Capital 300,0001, in 201. shares. Mr. S. Clegg is the engineer in chief, and Mr. R. Ebblcs acting engineer. CARNWALT AND WEST LINTON.—A line intended to form a junction between the Caledonian, Caledoian Extension, and North British Railways. The capital is 160,0001., in 201. shares. Mr. Leslie of Dundee is engineer. GLASGOW llAnnotmt MINERAL—A line from the Clyde to the Various railways having termini in Glasgow. Capital 150,000/., in 201. shares. STRATHSAY AND BREADALBANE EXTENSION —A line eight miles in length, from the Inverness and Perth Railway to Aberfeldy. The capital is 120,0001., in 25/. shares. ROYAL GRAND JuscrioN.—Another line from Reigate to Slough. The capital is 600,0001., in 201. shares. Mr. Ras trick is engineer in chief; and Mr. Bazalgette acting en gineer. BERWICKSHIRE CENTRAL JUNCTION.—A line from the .Edinburgh and Ilawick Railway to Kelso, to join the Cale donian Extension and Newcastle and Berwick. The capital is 350,000/., in 25/. shares. Messrs. R. Stevenson and Son are the engineers. NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, EDINBURGH, AND DIRECT GLAS GOW JUNCTION.—ThiS is a fusion of the North Tvne and Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Ilawick, Edinburgh, and Glasgow Junction schemes. A new prospectus is about to appear. MALTON AND DRIFFIELD.—A line designed to form a link of communication between the North and Past Ridings of the county of York, by uniting Malton and Driffield, commencing at the town of Mahon, by a junction with the proposed Thirsk and Mahon, and immediately crossing the York and Scar boronli line, running in a direct course to Driffield, a distance of about twenty miles, joining there the proposed Hull and Bridlington Railway, and the line to Pocklington and Selby. Capital, 400,0001., in 20,000 shares of 20/. each. DONCASTER, WAKEFIELD, AND BRADFORD.—A line in tended to commence at Doncaster, by a junction with some of the protected lines from London to I ork and Leeds, and with the proposed Manchester, Huddersfield, and Great Grimsby Direct, and Hull, Sheffield, and North Midland Rairways. It will then proceed in a direct line to Oakenshaw, near Wakefield, where it will be connected with the Midland Railway, the 'Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole. and the ex tension of the Leeds and Dewsbury, and Wakefield and Bradford Railways. The length of the line is fifteen miles. Capital, 380,000/., in 15,000 shares of 201. each. Engineer, Mr. Billington. NEW LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM, VIA NORTHAMPTON AND WARWICK.— A line intended to commence at " a con venient point in the northern part of the metropolis," and proceed by way of St. Albans, Redburn, Dunstable, Woburn, Newport Pagnell, to Northampton, where it will join the London and Birmingham Extension Railway, and proceed by Daventry, Leamington, and Warwick, and by the rail way intended to be made along the line of the Warwick and Birmingham Canal to Birmingham, and by means of the railway from Northampton to Warwick. Capital 1,400,000 1 ., in 70,000 shares. The corn harvest has been generally secured in fair con dition,—the injury said to be sustained by the potato crop is, we have every reason to believe, greatly exaggerated,—the commerce of the country is in a most flourishing condition— and we are at peace with all the world: with so many ele ments of prosperity abounding, the improvement of the solid resources of the nation, notwithstanding these temporary checks to its progress. must go on with accelerated impulse. There is, therefore, no just cause of permanent alarm. The evils which have arisen from inordinate speculation in rail way shares will speedily effect their own remedy, and the business of the Stock-Exchange be placed henceforth on a more secure basis than ever. A SHAREHOLDER proposed that steps be taken to bring about an amalgamation of this company with the Northern, but after a short discussion be withdrew his motion, a mem ber of the "administration " having stated that this com pany we: e always anxious for such a measure, and would be ready to adopt it at any time, and were only prevented from adopting it before now by reason of the delay attendant upon the applications necessary to be made to the Conseil d'Etat before such an arrangement could be entered into. The proceedings of the day were wound up by a speech from M. Bazael, the engineer of the line, who in the c urse of his observations said, that the works had already been com menced between Amiens and Abbeville, and also in the neigh bourhood of Estaple; that some portion of the line woule, be open to the public within two months after the opening of the Northern line next year. That the interval between Abbe ville and Estaple, passing through or by fortified places, weuld have to be disposed of by the military council ; but owing to previous arrangements that had been made, very little had been left fn• that -body to do, for the plans for the works at those places were so plain and simple that he had no far of their being objected to. He concluded by stating that he had had no engineering difficulties to encounter, and that the re maining part of the line between Estaple and Boulogne, be felt assured, would be completed in such time as to enable the whole of the line to be thrown open to the public by the spring of 1847. The CHAIRMAN announced that a dividend after the rate of four francs per share had been declared, and would be pay able on and after the sth of November next. The frightful losses which have been incurred during the last fortnight, will prove a useful lesson to all ; and the check which has been given to mere bubble pro jects, will eventually benefit not only the old companies, but these also Which have already obtained their Acts, together with such legitimate schemes of railway extension, as are really called for by the necessities of the public. We are persuaded that the panic has nearly exhausted itself, and that it will pass away entirely, without inflicting any irremediable injury on the community at large. As to the benefits to be conferred upon the country by the gradual formation of railways, there can be but one opinion ; and we repeat what we have so frequently asserted, that there will be no lack of means for the construction of such lines as shall be sanctioned by the Legislature. Our own decided conviction is that the present is the time to buy, and not to sell—and we have always advised our friends to buy during a panic, and—unless purchases are made purely for investment—when prices are rapidly ad vancing, to realise, without waiting for the highest point. THE RAILWAY SHARE MARKET. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. The report and statement of accounts were then titian% mously received and adopted, the same directors, or " ad • ministration," re-elected, after which a compliment was paid to them and the chairman for their services, and the meeting separtaed.— Chronicle. think that during the present temporary panic in the Railway Share Market, It would be wise for Directors in all pro. jected lines, where the shares are not yet issued, to withhold their allotments for a time, certainly till this depression is over. By issuing shares in new lines now it will not only cause still greater and more alarming depression in already existing railroads, but throw discredit and disrepute on really good schemes that may advantageously be brought out at a later period ; indeed parties who have applied for shares in the present state of affairs, and respect able and responsible parties too, will not be found to pay the deposits. Let timid speculators who hold scrip hold a little longer, and not force the markets, and all will yet be well. At the same, I do not hold out hopes that we shall see so high premiums again as we have done hitherto, but a more healthy state will exist in the market, and bubble lines will, as they should, be at a fair discount. DIRECT LONDON AND MANCHESTER RAILWAY. On Saturday the arrangement for the union and amalga mation of the two companies formed for making a direct railroad between London and Manchester was signed by John Dillon, Esq., the Chairman of the Direct London and Manchester Railway and Colonel Leicester Stanhope, the Chairman of the !)irect Independent London and Man chester Railway. The arrangement recites that the two companies shall be united into one when the Bill shall have passed. That the Direct London and Manchester Railway shall alone apply to Parliament for the Act. That the two companies shall bare an equal number of Directors. I inclose my card, and should you consider my remarks worthy of your notice, you will confer a great obligation on me by in serting the same in your invaluable paper, of which I am, Sir, yours, very respectfully, That the Chairman of the Direct Company, John Dillon, Esq., shall be the chairman of the 24 directors; and that Andrew Caldecott, Esq., and the Hon. Colonel Leicester Stanhope, shall be the deputy chairmen. That the object of the agreement and the parties to it shall be the making a direct line of railway from London to Man chester, as economically as possible, to carry goods and pas sengers at the cheapest possible remunerating tariff; with the greatect possible expedition consistently with safety; and that the interests of the trade between London and Manches ter, and the promises made to the public by each Company, shall be the guiding principles of the Directors. That Messrs. Ashurst and Son, Messrs. Ludlow, Son, and Torr, and John Owens, Esq., shall be the solicitors. That J. U. Rastrick and George Remington, Esqs., shall be the joint engineers. BIRMINGHAM AND GRAND JUNCTION RAILWAYS. A considerable sensation was caused on Saturday in Liver pool by the intelligence of the amalgamation of the London and Birmingham Railway Company with that of the Grand Junction, a measure which involves important and valuable consequences to the Proprietors, and will, it is expected, lead to results very advantageous to the public. On a calcu lation of the respective interests of the parties, it appeared, that while the London and Birmingham line yielded the full dividend of ten per cent., the Grand Junction was in a condition to pay twelve per cent., so that the equalisation of the two properties fbr equal dividends ha future required that the Grand Junction shares should be " written up" twenty pounds per share ; and it was, therefore, agreed that new shares of twenty pounds each should be created, free of cost, to be added to the original shares, and the whole formed into common stock, entitled to common divi dends from the Ist of October instant. It has been deter mined, also, we understand, that on the London and Bir mingham line the Company will now commence being their own carriers, and that a considerable reduction will at once be made in the charges for the conveyance both of goods and passengers, so as to render the ca l cu l at i ons upon wh i ch any project of competing lines may be based extremely un promkin g. By arrangements in progress the consolidated Com pany will proceed to establish what has long been considered a desideratum, a complete stern of trunk line from London to Glasgow (via the Carlisle and the Caledonian) ; end from Lon don to 11°1N-head, and across Ireland , and they have decided to encourage in every way the formations into such trunk lines of the most direct lines subserving the trade of the country It is felt that these gigantic operations will " be a heavy. blow and-great discouragement" to many of the projects re cently afloat, while they give stability to many schemes of undoubted utility.—Lirerpool .2tltreury. CALEDONIAN RAILWAY. Thi3 important company have advertised their meeting to consider the question of amalgamating the Clydesdale Junc tion Railway with the Caledonian—a measure already ar ranged by the directors, and only awaiting the confirmation of the shareholders. A number of branch lines to the Cale donian will also be proposed to the shareholders. We shall give a full report of the meeting when it takes place. SCOTTISH GRAND JUNCTION AND SCOTTISH WESTERN RAILWAYS. It is gratifying to learn that these two rival schemes have entered into arrangements by which, upon fair and reasonable terms, the latter company is to withdraw, so that there will be no opposition to the Oban line and communication with the West 'Highlands. The arrangement is expected to be approved and confirmed by the shareholders next Wednesday. BOULOGNE AND AMIENS RAILWAY. A meeting of the Sh are h o ld ers and Proprietors in * this rail way took place on Thursday at Paris. Shortly after two o'clo c k M. LaFF.rrre: opened the ness of the meeting, and said th a t these were the usualpre liminary forms required by law ; b u t as h e b elieved it would be sufficient to lay them upon the table, and would not be necessary to read them, he would now proceed to read the report of the Directors. The document was written in the French language, and occupied nearly twenty closely written fo li o pa ges. There was also, we were t o ld, b ut one copy of it, for it had not been " printed and circulat e d among the ' share holders." Apprehending that such would be the case, we applied iu the early part of the day at the pr oper quarter, and at much personal inconvenience, for permission to copy it or translate it, either in the assembly-room, or in a n y o th er part cf the building, where the meeting was to be held, or such portion of it as we should be able to accomplish befor e th e business of the day commenced ; but , notwithstanding that we represented as strongly as we could the great convenience that such an accommodation would afford us, the immense distance we had travelled to be present at the meeting, the great importance it would be to the English shareholders iu the line to have ae report translated and published in the English newspapers with as little delay as possible ; notwithstanding that we urged all this, and a great de a l more, we were peremptorily refused any such accommoda tion ; and were told that to get a copy of the report was out of the question, either before or after the meeting; and that, therefore, we should take notes of the substance of it as it was read by the chairman. Owing, however, to the courtesy of that gentleman the report was handed to us after the meeting had separated to make extracts from ; but it was then past four o'clock, and as the only mail for England that day left at five, we were obliged to make a very hurried summary of the report which we subjoin, and which contains all the substantial facts set forth in it. It contained, in the first two or three pages, the usual congratulatory paragraphs, such as that since the directors (le conseil d'admistration) had obtained the necessary powers to proceed with the work, they had lost no time in making all the preliminary arrangements for doing so ; that it was a line which promised to prove riot only a profitable one to the shareholders as a commercial specu lation, but also one of great advantage to the many large dis tricts of country which surrounded it on all sides, which at present had no railway accommodation of any sort, as well as to the constant influx of strangers to France, from the ports of Dover and Folkstone, who wished to reach Paris by Boulogne in a shorter time than that now occupied in accom plishing the journey by the long and wearisome route tra versed by the public diligence; that the line from Amiens TIEIE SUN, LONDOIif, TUESDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 28, 1845 CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. (YESTERDAY.) This, the twelfth and concluding session of the present Mayor alty, was commenced this morning. The Court was opened in the usual manner by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, and Aldermen Wilson, Hunter, Moon, &c. The calendar, considering the lengthened period which has elapsed since the last sittings, is not unusually heavy. The pri soners number 227. There is one charge of murder and two of forgery, but the others are comparatively light. The grand jury having been sworn, were addressed by the Learned RECORDER. He said, Gentlemen of Jury, the calendar which lies before me contains a list of prisoners amounting to 227, and there is every reason to believe that the number will be aug. mented by additional commitments during the sitting of the Court. Your labours will, therefore, in all probability be exteaded for seve ral days, but I am sure you will cheerfully discharge the duties imposed upon you, duties which are for the protection of the public at large. I notice with regret that, in addition to the ord nary class of offences, the number of persons engaged as domestics, to whom the offence of larceny is imputed, is very considerable, not less than 54 in this situation of life being so charge!. There are also several Cases of cutting and wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm. There is also a charge of attempting to drown by throwing the person into deep water ; a charge of attempting to administer poison ; two charges of assault amounting to rape, or carnal knowledge of el ildren of tender age ; five cases of robbery ; and a charge of shooting at another person with a mischievous intent. There is, in addition, • charge for the heinous crime of murder—the murder of an infant, and the party to whom the crime :s imputed is the stepfather of the child, being the husband of the mother. There are not less than eighteen cases of misdemeanour of different kinds and de grees, some of them of the nature of assaults for unnatural and filthy purposes, some for obtaining goods and property under Use pretences, and other offences of a like nature. There is a charge also of coining, the instruments for that purpose and a quan. city of new counterfeit coin having been found its the pos session of the person committed. Among the charges of misdemeanour, there is one case of obtaining money under false pretences under rather peculiar circumstances. It is the case of a man who goes on board of foreign vessels, and prac tising upon the ignorance of the poor men on board, purchases their -- goods, and pretends to pay them with gold coin of this country. The pretented coin is afterwards discovered to be a sort of gilt medal, which is sold in the streets for a penny. It will be your duty to ascertain if this miserable deception was practised for the purpose of defrauding these poor foreigners, who were ignorant of the coins current in the country. In the case of murder, to which I have referred, I perceive by the depositions taken before the coroner that the testimony of the wife was received against her husband. Among the many changes daily taking place in our criminal and civil law, I am not aware of any one that has rendered the wife a competent witness ; at the same time however, if in the presence of a third party, the wife used an expression to which the husband made answer, that would be evidence to be given by that third party. Ido not imagine that those who conduct the prosecution will tender the wife's evidence; the witnesses rather being those who do not labour under any legal Incompetency. In the case of shooting with intent to do grievous bodily harm, the great point will be to see if there is sufficient evi deace that the person aiming the gun did so with a knowledge that it was loaded, or in a state likely to explode, and also • hether he did so aim with intent to do the other bodily injury. I understand that the gun had been previously uncocked, and it will be for you to soy whether, under these circumstances, it will be your duty to put the case in the course of further inquiry. In the case of attempting to administer poison, the charge will rest upon the evidence of persons who will prove the sending of the poison in a quantity of tea and sugar to this individual who was expected to partake of it. You will of course carefully examine the evidence adduced before you, and ascertain whether the fact of sending poison is brought home to the party charged with the offence. There are several instances of cutting and stabbing, in one instance a blow being struck under the immediate influence of passion. You will be pleased to examine into this when the charge comes before you. The Learned Recorder then adverted to misdemeanours of a disgusting character, which are unfit for publication, and alter a few general remarks, dismissed the grand jury to their duties. The petit jury was then sworn. Thomas Jones, a person in the employ of the Excise, surren dered to answer an indictment charging him with wilful and cor rupt perjury. Mr. Harry conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Payne appeared for the defendant. From the statement of the counsel for the prosecution, it seems that the prosecutor of the present indictment, a person named Cruise, had brought an action against his employer, a soap-maker, named Rogers, in the Sheriffs' Court, to recover a sum of 91. for work and labour and wages, to which the defence set up was, that Cruise was in the habit of getting drunk, and that he neglected his duty. The present defendant was called as a witness on the trial, and he swore that, on the 19th April, he saw Cruise drunk at a public-house, and that he was there for three or four hours, and the jury, principally upon this evidence, found a verdict for the defendant Rogers, and Jones was now indicted for perjury, in hay. ing, as was alleged, sworn falsely to the circumstances referred to. The prosecutor, Cruise, was called as a witness, and he swore that he was not drunk en the day in question, and that he was not, as stated, three or four hours in the public-house on the day in question. On being cross-examined, he admitted that he was in the public house two or three times during the day, and that his master discharged him the tame night. Mr. FIORRY, in answer to a question from the Court, said he was not prepared with the necessary documentary proof to show that the original trial took place. The RECORDER said the whole of the present charge was founded upon that fact, and as there was no proof of the trial ever having taken place, the defendant must be acquitted. A verdict of Not Guilty was accordingly returned. George Millmead, aged 26, a young man of respectable appear ance. pleaded guilty to a charge ofembenling 301., the moneys of his employers, Stephen Charles Hope and another. It appeared that the prisoner had been for some considerable time in the service of the prosecutors, and they recommended him strongly to the consideration of the Court. He was sentenced to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for one year. zfrikur Rowan Hamilton was called upon to surrender and answer an indictment for misdemeanour, and as he did not answer, his recognizances, and those of his sureties, were ordered to be entreated. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COVRT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 25. RE SCALES, AN INSOLVENT. In this case the insolvent, the well-known ex-Alterman Scales, came up in custody on his interim order. His sche dule cet forth his debts to be 1,8101. is. 4d., whilst his credits were stated to amount to 6,471/. ss. The insolvent was sup porthd by Mr. King, and opposed by Mr. Vines, of 1-eadin4;, on behalf of the detaining creditor, the Hon. Shaw Lefevre, the Speaker of the House of Commons, whose claim was for law costs in some Chancery suit. The insolvant stated that his debts only amounted to 20b; 100/. was also placed in his schedule as due to his bankers, and 1001. to his solicitor • to whom, however, he did not owe more than 40/. He further, owed 301. for taxes, and, as he had before said, 201. for debts, which he called debts, because they contributed to his personal comforts. Mr. Vines prayed for an adjournment, on the ground that Mr. Lefevre, who was at Heckfield, in Hampshire, had only received the required noti:e on the previous day. . . Mr. King said he had left a notice at the Speaker's house, in Eaton-square, on Thursday, and also on that day had sent a copy of it by post to Mr. Lefevre, and to the agents of his solicitor in town. The COMMISSIONER observed, that it was absurd for Mr. Scales to say that his debts only amounted to 20/., when he had stated them in his schedule to be 1,810/. Mr. Scales-1,2001. of that sum is secured on freehold pro perty, which the creditors may sell. The remaining 600/. was put in my schedule against my conviction by my soli citor, as he said I was bound to enter the names. The in solvent added, that if his estate did not pay 20s. in the pound, he had an annuity of 1201. per annum, a part of which he would set aside for the payment of his debts' and liabilities. The Speaker-of the House of Commons, as he was called, his only detaining creditor, had persecuted him from day to day. After some discussion between his Honour and the soli citors, an adjournment until the 10th November was agreed to, on the ground of Mr. Lefevre's not having received suf ficient notice.. Mr. Commissioner GoULrnJRN recommended that the insolvent should be at once discharged from custody, as he thought there could be no apprehension of his absconding. M. Vines, who appeared Very unwilling to adopt the sug gestion, ultimately gave way to the feeling of the Court, and the insolvent was immediately liberated. RE GARDINER, AN INSOLVENT. The insolvent, described as James Whally Gardiner, of Mortlake, Ealing, and Harley-street, Cavendish-square, " gentleman," was an advertising money-lender. The insol vent's debts were put down in his schedule as amounting to 10,3891. Os. ld., and his credits were stated at 1,4161. Mr. Wright opposed on behalf of Colonel Wilson of Alton hall, Warwickshire. It appeared from the examination of Gardiner that he had been an advertising money-lender, and that, amongst other transactions, he had obtained bills from Colonel Wilson, of the value of 3,5001., which had been dis counted by the well-known Mr. Flight, the Colonel receiving 1,500/., the insolvent retaining 7001., and Mr. Flight the re maing 1,3001. After a short discussion, the Learned Commissioner ad journed the case until Wednesday, to consider whether the insolvent had been trading as a money-scrivener. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. A private of the Guards was charged, before Mr. Hall, with stealing a great coat. On Saturday evening, between nine and ten o'clock, A 82 took the prisoner into custody, with a great coat folded up in a napkin under his arm. He had heard of the theft, and was on the look wt when the prisoner was pointed out to him by a butcher's boy, who bad heard the soldier asking for a pawnshop. Mrs. Owen was coming through the Adelphi, Strand, on Satur. day evening, when she met three soldiers, and an old man in the midst of them with a brown paper parcel under his arm. She had her curiosity excited, and watched them ping into a public.house, whither she followed them. The old man, already the worse for liquor, called for a pint of porter and a quartern of giw. After this, when they all went out, the old man stumbled, and the soldiers, picking him up said they should look after him and his bundle. Two of them minveyed the old man along the Strand, in the direction of Water loo-bridge, and the prisoner, in possession of the bundle, after usuriously looking on this side and that, made off In the opposite direction. A short time after this the old man returned to the public-house, inquiring for his great coat. The witness imme. dlately conveyed information to the barracks. The butches boy said he was in Ryder's- court, Leicester. square, about half.past eight, and was asked by the prisoner, who then had a bundle under his arm, where he might find a pawn-shop. Wit ness, in reply, told him a woman had gone down to the barracks to say that three soldiers had stolen a great coat, and advised him to go there. The old man, who said he was an inmate of the Leather 111er. chants' Asylum, generally corroborated the main facts of the case. The prisoner, in defence, merely said he had been left in the public.house and the great coat with him.—He was committed. ELEGANT LITERARY AND PICTORIAL PRESENT.— In noticirg the splendid volume . entitled " Evenings at Haddon Hall," just produced by the Baroness de Cslabrella, and illustrated by Cattermole, the Britannia observes : " The volume before us is in every respect superior to any work of a similar kind we ever remember to have met with. The plates, beautifully engraved from drawings by Catter mole, render it one of . the most elegant books ever laid on the table of a drawing-room. But the work possesses far higher claims to our notice than the mere beauty of its ap pearance. The contributions, by some of the most admired writers of the day, are evidently composed expressly for the work, and the ac complished lady who edits it has constructed a graceful framework, which unites the different beautiful tales into a continuous and pleasing narrative. The plates are so various that they give occasion for the representation of scenes and adventures in every age and country. We can mention none of the tales without praise, for all are ex cellent; but ' The Nubian Slave' will alone suffice to esta blish the claims of the work to originality and merit. The Baroness has certainly been quite successful, both in securing contributions from many of the most eminent writers of the dav, and in producing a volume which will be the guide and delight of many a family during the ensuing season." The Hudson testimonial subscription exceeds the sum of 17,5004 3IA_RKE T NEW :.-(YESTERDAY.) CORN-EXCItPING E The past week'sat rival of English Wheat for our markets, coastwise, was large, viz., nearly 16,000 quarter's ; but by land carriage very little came to hand from any part. The receipts of Barley, Oats, Beans, and Flour, were limited— ti.o . e of Peas good. From Ireland and Scotland compara tively few parcels of any kind of grain reached u 5. while the imports of foreign produce were net to say extensive. Fresh up, comparatively little Wheat came to hand from the neigh bouring counties, yet the stands were somewhat largely filled, many parcels appearing on the market left over from last week. Notwithstanding the attendance of buyers was numerous, the demand for all descriptions of Wheat of home produce was somewhat inactive. However, the finest parcels of both red and white were mostly taken at prices quite equal to, those obtained on Mon day last ; but those of the middling and out-of-condition sorts had, in some instances, a downward tendency. The fa.. voill - able weather experienced during the last ten days, caused tl e wheats to come to hand in much better condition than for some time past. The show of fine Foreign Wheat is small, but fully equal to the wants of the trade. Selected qualities moved of freely ; other kinds slowly, :at week's currencies. In bond . very few transactions to k p ace in Wheat ; but several speculative pur chases were made in Oats, Beans, and Peas, at extreme rates. The Barley trade, ttough the arrivals have been rather limited, was not. to say brisk; nevertheless malting parcels commanded a rise of Is per quarter, and the value of grinding and dis.illing sorts had an upward tendency. At the close of the markets in arly the whole of the supply was cleared off. For superfine season- made Malt the sale was rather active, at fully previous rates. Other kinds were quite as dear. The show of Oats was very small, owing to which the extensive dimand, and the high rates ruling in Ireland, together with advises having been received to the effect that very few shipments are making from the principal Irish ports either to London or Liverpool, the quotations (which rose quite Is on Friday) ruled 2s to 3s per quarter higher than on this day se'rinight, and at which a total clearance Was effected. The supply of Beans was far from exterbive. All kinds moved off freely, at rather more money. As has bean the case for some time past, Peas commanded a brisk inqu;rv, at a rise in the quotations of from Is to 2s per quar ter. For exports very little was dein. The supply from our own coasts was again large, and of good quality. Flour was in fair request, and the best town-made was selling at 60s per 2801bs..:Canary Seed was is to 2s per quarter dearer. Linseed was in request, at more money. Other kinds of Seeds supported late rates.

To-day only about 30 foreign Beast and 120 Sheep were on offer, the whole of which found buyers at full prices. At the outports about 200 Beasts and Sheep have been received, chiefly from Hol land. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of Beasts fresh up were very extensive, the time of year considered, and on the whole of improved quality. The attendance of buyers being numerous, the primest Scots,' Devons,Here6 rds,Runts, &c., emnmanded a very steady sale at prices fully equal to tho e obtained on Monday last. The middling and inferior breeds were not quite so active as on that day ; nevertheless, previous rates were well supported, and a good clearance was effected. Frim the Northern counties we received about 2,000 Short horns;' from the eastern districts 300 Scots, Home-breds, Short-horns, &c.; from the western and midland parts of England 700 Herefords, Devons, Runts, &c. ; from other parts 400 of various breeds ; from Ireland 90 Beasts ; and fr,,m Scotland 120 Horned and Polled Scot 1. The numbers of Sheep were again small, owing to which the Mutton trade was decidedly brisk, and the quotations had, in some instances, an upward. tendency. The demand for Veal was active, and the rates were quite 4d per Sibs higher.than on this day se'n night. Although we had a full average supply of Pigs on offer, the sale for them was firm, and the late advance in the quotations.was well supported. ♦ CONSTANT READER. Oct. 25, 184 i. TUB MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, OCTOBER 26.—The Oriental Company's steam-packet the Pacha, Captain Burney, arrived In docks yesterday at 4 o'clock and landed the Gibraltar, Peninsular, and other mails, but which were nut for warded to London until the 2 a.m. train this morning, while had the mails been sent up by a special train they would have been enabled to have left London for the north, kc., by the last night mails from London. The Pacha left Gibraltar the 17th instant; Cadiz, 16th; Lisbon, 20th; Oporto, 21st; Vigo, 22d; Corunna, 22d. She has 26 passengers, a full cargo of fruit, and five oxen. The Royal Tar, Captain Evans, will leave this port to-morrow for Gibraltar, kc., with the Peninsular and other mails. FATAL ACCIDENT.—On Sunday morning an acci dent occurred on the Croydon Atmospheric Railway, which has unfortunately been attended with the loss of life. It appears that between twelve and one o'clock in the morning a train of ballast waggons, propelled by a locomotive engine, was employed in re moving loose earth from one part of the line to the other, and when the engineer had proceeded nearly to Sydenham he felt a cud. den shock as if the engine had run over something. As soon as he had deposited kis loads of ballast he returned to the spot to ascertain the cause, and then discovered the body of a man lying across the rail, in such a position, that if he had not observed him in time and reversed the engine the wheels must ine►i tably have gene over his head. The poor fellow was in a shocking mutilated state, and covered with blood, which flowed profusely from his back and right leg. He was alive, but quite insensible. With the assistance of the stoker the engineer placed him upon the engine, and conveyed hint without loss of time to the terminus at London-bridge, and from thence to Guy's Hospital. Mr. hood, the house surgeon, was promptly in attend ance, and, upon examination, it was found that his right leg and foot were completely smashed, and that his back had been severely lacerated by the bsdrer of the engine, and he died in about an hour after his admission to the hospital. His name is at present unknown. He was dressed in the garb of a labourer, and apparently about 38 years of age. His face was rather disfigured by his nose having been previously broken, and he wore a green shade over Lie left eye. It is not known how he came upon the railway, but it is supposed he had either strayed, or had trespassed to make a short cut to Sydenham, and that hearing the approach of an engine he had got en to the atmospheric line of rail, thinking that no train cars thereon at night, and that he would be safe. His precaution, however, was the means of his death. This was the second time only that the ballast train had run on that line at night. TDB DIARYLEBONE VESTRY AND TILE REGENT'S Canat..—At a meeting of the Marylcbone vestry on Friday, a letter was read which had been received from the secretary to the new railway company formed for the purpose of converting the Regent's Canal into a railway, requesting from the vestry permis. lion to inspect the books of the parish, in order that the railway company might obtain such information as would be necessary to enable them to comply with the standing orders of the Houses of Parliament. Several members of the vestry spoke in very indig. nant terms against the request contained in this letter. Every member of the vestry could have free access to the books if it were required, but they did not understand why any such information should be given to mere strangers. A motion was then made that the request should be refused, which was carried unani mously. --- - DIRECT LONDON AND EXETER RAILWAY (WITII EXTENSION UERIZAPTER TO FALgotITII).—The above meeting pro posed to be held at Andover, yesterday, has been unavoidably post.. poned for a few days. VISIT OF TUE DUKE OF WELLINGTON TO BRIGH TON AND NNWHATEN.—The Duke of Wellington arrived In Brighton on Thursday afternoon at four o'clock, by the railway train which leaves London at two. His Grace immediately proceeded to the Bristol Hotel, where he dined and slept, and the following morning left at nine o'clock for Newhaven. His Grace rode in • carriage, but was followed by saddle-horses, for the purpose of in. specting portions of the cotst between this town and Newhaven, which was the purpose of his visit. After having taken cogni. sance of Newhaven, and its capabilities of being made to afford protection for armed steamers, the Duke returned at halt past twelve, and remained there until half.past two. Ile then went out on horseback, attended by a domestic ; rode down the Marine. parade, along the Steyne and Grand Parade to the north, and it was generally expected that his grace would proceed to the Cavalry Barracks. However he did not, but returned to his hotel, and remained there last night. Preparations were made at the Battery in expec tation that his grace would inpect It yesterday; but it is under. stood that his visit is reserved for this morning. His grace will leave Brighton this afternoon by the railway train which leaves at a quarter before two, and will proceed to Dover. These visits of his grace to the southern coast are, to say the least of them, very siguiflcant, and public attention is now fully aroused to the nature of our position in cue a war should break out, which—depending, as matters in France do.tipon the frail tenure of an old man's life-- maybe nearer than any of us expect.—Brighton Herald of Saturday INQUEST ON THE BODY of THE LATE MR. 80- , TELMA AT OULaTON, NAAS Till WOODLISFOAD STATION.—The death of Mr. Boteler, which occurred on Thursday morning at half past eight o'clock, threw a gloom over the populous neigh bourhoods ef Doncaster, Leeds, and other towns in which the learned gentleman had a large circle of friends. Imme diately nn the fatal event taking place an express was sent to Mr. Bell, the secretary of the Midland Railway, who lost no time in apprising General Parley of the melancholy fact. Thomas Wheatley, the engine -driver at the time of the fatal ac cident, who had en Wednesday last appeared 'Wore the magis. trate& at Sheffield to answer the charge of negligence, but dis charged on bail, was forthwith brought from Leeds by a special train to Derby, and underwent a long examination in the board. room in the presence of some of the Directors. Notice was irn mediately given to the Coroner, who directed the inquest to be held oa Friday afternoon. Sir Isaac Morley and James Murga- troyd, Esq., two of the directere of the company, accompai.ied by their solicitor, witnesses, Sic., proceeded to Woodlesford by special train to attend at the inquest. Upon the jury being impannelcd, Sir Isaac Morley said the Company courted public inquiry, and he had instructed every servant who could throw the least light on the transaction to attend the Coroner's court, and they should be brought from the remotest part of the kingdom, regardless of the expense. After this the Coronor and jury proceeded to view the body of the late lamented gentlemen. After the jury had re turned from the painful task, the Coroner said the most searching investigation would be gone into, and for that purpose, to afford time for the necessary witnesses, he should adjourn the inquest until Monday mor n i ng a t n i ne o ' c l oc k.

The following report of the Parliamentary Committee of the Corporation has been ordered to be printed : " TO THE RIGHT HON. THE LORD MAYOR, ALDERMEN AND COMMONS OF THE CITY OF LONDON. " We whose names are hereunto subscribed of your Parliamentary Committee, to whom were referred the following Bills and other proceedings in the last session of Parliament, to watch the progress thereof, and report the progress thereon:— "1845.

" 6C " May 29. Tottenham and Farringdon-street Rail way Extension Bill. 66 way Bill. Direct London and Portsmouth Railw y Bill. 6 , - Gravesend and Rochester Railway Bill. " Do certify that with respect to Bills relating to railways, the Railway Clauses Consolidation Bill was for consolidating in one Act certain provisions usually inserted in Acts authorising the making of railways. An alteration was made in the Bill, at the instance of the Thames Navigation Committee, and the Bill after wards passed into a law. The London and York Rail way was for making a railway from Battle-bridge, Somers-town, to the city of York; a clause was inserted in this Bill by the direction of the Coal and Corn and Finance Committee for payment to the C rporation of their dues on coals brought by the railway within a certain distance of London. This Bill passed the House of Commons at the close of the session, but was dropped in the House of Lords. The L'.ndon and South- Western Railway (No. 1) Bill was to extend the metro politan terminus of that railway to Hungerford-bridge and to the Thames at Vauxhall. A clause saving the rights of conservancy of the Corporation was inserted in the Bill by the direction of the Navigation Committee, and the Bill afterwards passed into a law. Five Bills were presented to Parliament for the extension and enlargement of the London and Croydon Railway, in three of which, viz, the Chatham and Gravesend, the Maidstone. Ashford, &c., and the London and Croydon Railway Enlargement Bills, clauses were proposed to be inserted for payment of the City dues on coals, Th e London and Croydon Railway Enlargement Bill, in which the said clause was inserted, passed into a law, the four other Bills having been postponed for the session. Five Bills were also presented to Parliament for the extension of the South-Eastern Railway, in one of which, viz., for the widening and extension of the London and Greenwich Railway, a clause was introduced by the direction of your Committee that all disputed claims for compensation in cases arising in the borough of Southwark should be tried before the ses sions of the peace in Sonthwarle by juries summoned by the High Bailiff. This Bill, as amended, afterwards passed into a law. The four other Bills relating to the South-Eastern Railway did not affect the interests of this City. Two of these Bills passed into a law, the others having been postponed for the session. The ap plication for the Staines and Richmond Railway Bill was rejected by the Standing Order Committee of Ole House of Commons, and no further proceedings were had therein. The North Woolwich Railway Bill was for making a railway from the Eastern Counties and Thames Junction Railway, near the mouth of the river Lea, to North Woolwich, near the Barge.house ferry. Clauses were introduced, at the instance of the Thames Naviga tion Committee, saving the rights of conservancy of the Corporation; but, in consequence of opposition in the House of Lords, the propose d extension of the railway to the Thames was abandoned, and the Bill afterwards passed into law. The Tottenham and Farringdon Ex tension Railway Bill was to make a railway from Hatton garden, near the City boundaries, to join the Northern and Eastern Counties Railway at Tottenham. The Com missioners of Sewers gave directions for the insertion of clauses in the Bill for protecting the sewers of the City; but the Committee of the House of Commons to whom the Bill was referred reported to the house that the preamble of the Bill had not been proved. The London, Chatham, and North Kent Railway Bill was for making a railway from London to Canterbury. Clauses for protecting the City's rights of conservancy, and for securing the City's dues on coals, were proposed for insertion in this Bill, but the Committee of the House of Commons on the Bill resolved that the pre amble thereof had not been proved. The Direct Lon don and Portsmouth Railway Bill was fur making a railway from the Croydon and Epsom Railway at Epsom to the town of Portsmou! in with a branch to Chichester. The duties on coals, payable to the Corpo• ration, were secured on all coals to be conveyed on this line of railway by the clause introduced into the Lon don and Croydon Railway Enlargement Bill. 'The Bill passed the House of Commons, but was dropped in the House of Lords. The Gravesend and Rochester Rail way Bill was to enable the Thames and Medway Canal Company to widen, extend. and maintain a railway from Gravesend to Rochester. This Bill was amended in the Committee of the House of Commons so as not to affect the interests of this City, and afterwards passed into a law." CHRISTCHURCH, OCT. 25.—TEE PoAcEING CASE AGAlN.—James Purchase and Henry Burry, who, about a fortnight ago, were charged by the Hon. Grantley Berkeley with poaching, and fined 20s. each, were again brought be fore the magistrates on Monday last, for a similar offence, but to be tried under another Act. The investigation of the case occupied the bench a considerable time. The magis trates considered that the case did not come within the mean ing of the Act, and it was at length dismissed. The trial, throughout, caused considerable excitement, and placed Mr. Berkeley in anything but an enviable cosition, for upon the Hon. Gentleman leaving the Hall he was accosted by the crowd with all kinds of opprobrious terms, the shaking of ribbons in his face, and other marks of disapprobation. — Hampshire Advertiser. NEWGATZ AND LEADENBALL. The arrival of slaughtered Meat up to these markets, during the pas.tweek, have been small, the time of year con sidered, though of full average quality. The supplies killed in the metropolis have been by no means large, I.ence the general demand is in a very healthy state. In some in stances, the primest meat has produced more money—the value of the middling and inferior kinds being well sup ported. Very little foreign meat has been offerivg. BOROUGH AND SPITALPIELDS.

Ahhough the demand for most kinds of Hops is not quite so active as noticed in our last reports, prices are pretty generally supported. The fine new East Kents on sale are held at high rates. The duty is called at 160,000!. WOOL. The large public sales of Wool were brought to a close on Friday evening. Nearly the whole of the parcels offered have been sold, at full prices. The imports during the week have been small. Although the stocks of both English and foreign held by the manufacturers are small, the demand by private contract is rather inactive. at late rates. TALLOW. Notwithstanding the very large arrivals (22,000 casks) in the last fourteen days, the price of Tallow is much better maintained than was anticipated. Fine New Yellow Candle on the spot in small parcels, is worth 425. There are no willing sellers for forward delivery; the quotation for December is 425, and for the Spring months 42s 6d.

THE BITER BIT. A circumstance has taken place within these few days which has formed a very general subject of conversation. From the reports in circulation, we learn that a gentleman who was staying at a fashionable watering place, having more plate than he required, resolved to sell some of it, to the value of about 3001. For this purpose he, applied to a certain silversmith, who made the purchase for the above sum. The plate was ac cordingly sent to him, and the following morning the gentle man called for the money. The' ail versmith declared that he hail had an unexpected call fur money, and asked him to take two bills, 1501. each, at a short date. The gentleman expressed himself somewhat surprised, but, after some hesi tation, he took the bills, waited till they became due, and then presented them for payment. Again an excuse fur non payment was made, and the gentleman was requested to hold over the bills. In this, too, he acquiesced, thinking more, however, as it subsequently appeared, on the matter than lie said. _ _ _ He held the bills sometime, and the matter slept. One day, however, 'another gentleman, quite a stranger to the silversmith, called upon him, made some purchases to a considerable 'amount, and then asked very coolly whether the silversmith could supply him with some silver goods of a certain pattern ? " Certainly, Sir," said the silversmith very blandly, " and to any amount." A pattern was ac cordingly sent to the silversmith, and goods were ordered to the value of about 150/., with orders for them to be sent to the same hotel as soon as finished. The silversmith ac cordingly hurried up to London, had the goods made per pattern, and when they were finished he took them him self to the gentleman, No. 2, at the hotel; saw him ; pre sented the goods, and the bill for them. " Very well, Sir," said the gentleman, " and now, waiter, take the goods to my room, and I will pay you for them," turning to the silversmith. • The bill amounted to 3041. odd, and he told the silversmith to give him a receipt for the amount and the balance out of a 51. note, which the silversmith having done,the gentleman handed him over the odd sovereigns and silver, and two long strips of paper. The silversmith exa mined them. In an instant his jaw fell—his face assumed as many hues as a peacock's tail—his eyes flashed with fury— his hands trembled—his whole frame shook with rage. " What are these, Sir ?—Why ! Why! They are my own bills !" • " Yes, I suppose you will not object to your own bills ?" "What do - you mean, Sir? - They are of no use to me." "If not to you to whom else?" " Sir, you are a rogue—a swindler. I will see whether there is no law for you, Sir." Those who witnessed the scene say that Shylock, when done out of his pound of flesh, was far less furious than his descendant on this occasion. The bills were, in fact, the same that he had given the gentleman No. 1 for his plate, which now made their appearance in this horrid form and shape. He went otf like a cnlverin to fetch a lawyer. One came, and on introducing himself to - the gentleman No. 2, he very coolly referred him to his 'solicitor, in the adjoining Poona. They had an interview, and the silversmith's lawyer, fineing that he could make nothing of such a case, abandoned the field. The silversmith fetched another, and he, too, had an interview with the gentleman's solicitor, but who, after some conversation with the second lawyer, quitted the room, placing the tip of his right-hand thumb to his nasal promon tory, and spreading his fingers in a very significant manner, as urchins do in the streets, to intimate to the silversmith's lawyer that it was " no go." The circumstance getting wind brought the silversmith's creditors, it is.said, about his ears, and the shop is closed. It seems to have been a well-concerted plan between the gentleman No.. 1 and No. 2 to recover, at least, a. portion of the value of the plate sold to the silversmith. We say a ortion—as the goods bought by No. 2 could not be worth 300/., and then there was the expense of the lawyer, and his journey down and up, to bring the transaction to a climax.— Blighton Herald. . SMALL DEBTS ACT.—In pursuance of the resolu tkn agreed to by the Commissioners for the Court of Re quests for the-hundreds of Blackheath and Little and Less ness, in the county of Kent, and Wallington, in the county of Surrey, the Messrs. Parker, the clerks to the court, duly forwarded the memorial to the Lords of the Privy Council, praying her Majesty's -sanction for an extension of the pro visions of the• Act 8 and 9 Vic., cap. 101, to this court, to debts not exceeding 20/. A favourable answer having been received, a circular has been issued requesting the attendance of the Commissioners at the Court-house, on Wednesday, Nov. 5, for the purpose of proceeding to the election of a judge for the court. The appointment, it is assumed, will be about 1,2001. per annum, the district extending to about twenty parishe:i. An active canvass on behalf of the respec tive candidates has been going on for some time, and some little betting has taken place as to the result. There are five candidat s in the field, viz., three barristers, R. J. Corner, Esq., D. D. Keane, Esq., and Charles Harwood, Esq., Re corder of Shrewsbury, Frederick W. Meymott, Esq., special pleader, and Robert Suter, Esq., solicitor of Greenwich. The election is in the hands of about two hundred Commissioners, some few of whom have not yet qualified.
