The Committee met at eleven o'clock, the Earl of Ellenborough in the chair. The following gentlemen were called in and examined by Mr. ROWE in opposition to this Bill: —Mr. Pendarves, M.P. for Corn. wall, Captain Reset, and Captain Holland. These witnesses, for the reasons already repeatedly stated by other witnesses, preferred the central line to the southern, and alleged their belief that if the central line had been deemed a successful project, many of the influential men in CornwaH, who were now in favour of the southern line, would be advocate• of the central one. Mr. Brunel laid before their Lordships a section showing curves in the Cornwall line. Mr. Rows addressed their Lordships for the opponents to the Bill at great length. The sc heme was a great delusion, and the failure of the central line was entirely owing to the panic which existed in the Money Market at the time it originated. The suc cess of the Cornwall line up to this time was, in a great measure, owing to the assistance of the Great Western Railway Company, aided by the repent of the Board of Trade ,in its favour. There could, however, be no doul t that the Cornwall line was highly disagreeable to a great mass of the inhabitants of Cornwall and Devon, for 150 petitions had been laid on the table of their Lordships' House against it. Amongst the opponents to the line he had called some of the must wealthy and influential men as witnesses, even including noblemen and Members of Parliament. The Cornwall line was, In truth, a most impracticable line, and would never answer the purpo,es for which a railway should be established. It would neither have speed or regularity, and he might acid safety. T;,e Learned Counsel then went on to read the passages of the report of the Board of Trade, and confute them seriatim. After a long and very argumentative speech, the Learned Cremsel con chided by cr.lling upon the Committee to declare the preamble of th , Bil not pros ed. Mr. MONTAGUE SMITH followed for the promoters in reply. The Committee retired shortly before nine o'clock to consider their decision. On their Lordships' return, The Noble CHAIRMAN( intimated that the Committee were of opinion that the con.tructi9n of a railway from Plymouth to Pal rr.,,uth, with a branch to Bodmin, would be of great public ad vantage. But theyo ere also of opinion, that without a further. end more a .curate survey, with the view to procure gradients of a more favouraOle character, and to awls, if possible, the crossing of she Hamoare, the Bi:1 should not now be further proceeded with The ahnouncement was received with cheers on the. part of the opponents, which were instantly checked. AWARE VIZED, PONTEFRACT, AND GOOLE Counties Company would have an opportunity of obtaining an in vestigation into what might be the most favourab e portion only of their case. The Committee at once determined on refusing the application. It was then arranged that Mr. Sergeant Wrangham hould com mence his closing address for the London and York ne at the meeting of the Committee at twelve o'clock on Monday. The Committee adjourned at a quarter past three o'clock. RAILWAY COMM I'ITEES. (S,‘,TL.RDAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. CORNWALL RAILWAY. Lily Z. The Committee reassembled at eleven o'clock, and proceeded to hear further evidence on hehaT of the Brayton rival scheme. The first witness called was Mr. Alexander Sheriff, and his evi dence went merely to prove that the flax-spinners of Leeds were in favour of the Brayton scheme. Mr. S,ricklani, of Snaith, said that the branch to Broughton would confer very great advantages on the farmers in the district, because it would give a direct and speedy communication with Leeds. Mr. Blackmore, station.master at Normanton, spoke to the busine , s there, and the regularity with which trains from their separate companiei, arrived and departed. Nothing could be con ducted in a more regular manner. Similar evidence was given on the part of Sir John Simpson, of York, Mr. Phillips, Mayor of Pontefract, and others. They all considered that the Brayton project would benefit the district by opening up a direct communication with Leeds and Bradford. Their Lordships then adjeurned till Monday. TinE GLASGOW JUNCTION RAILWAY. On the re-assembling of the Committee this morning the exami. nation of witnesses in support of the Bill was resumed. Mr. Hartley, of Liverpool, said the rails along the docks at Liverpool were very convenient. He considered the rails on the quay at Glasgow ought to he on the !eve/. Mr. Moore, Chairman of the Dock Trustees at Liverpool, con curred in the evidence of the previous witness. Mr. Syrcon, manager of the Dundee and Arbroath Railway, de pos, d as to the faciity for the transmission of traffic which the rails on the quays belonging to that railway afforded. Mr. Dickson, of Hull, described the manner in which the goods were lifted from the wagons into the boats from off the quay. Mr. RPed, of the Glafgow Railway Company, deposed as to the rate. , of charges on that line. Mr. Knight spoke as to the cartage. Mr. Kiastone said the proposed junction met with the full ap proval of the ironmasters. Mr. Christie stated that the Iron manufacture had greatly in creased within the last t,n rears, and there was every probability of its bring further increased. Mr. I, adbitter said that there were 80,000 tons of atone an nually hr.Aight into Scotland for shipment and home consumption. Aft. r hearing some further evidence, the Committee adjourned till Monday. oxromx), 117011.0 WOLVER.. IIikMPTON. The Committee met to-day at eleven o'clock, Lord Auckland in the chair, whet) the case for the opposition was resumed. Oo the Noble LORD taking the chair, he stated, that with re spect to a petition presented by Mr. Macey, of Banbury, against the Bill, the Committee had decided that, considering the late period at which tht petition had been presented, counsel could not be heard in its support. Mr. Laing, of the Board of Trade, was then examimed in rela tion to a statement of Mr. Cockburn in opening the case, that the decision of the Board of Trade had been given on exparte evidence. 'I he witness, in his examination, denied this, and stated that before the decision had been given, both interests had been fully heard. Both Mr. Brunel and Mr. S.unders had been examined, and had frequent Interviews with the Board of Trade. The Noble CHAIRMAN thought this quite sufficient in answer to the statement of counsel on that point, and the witness was dis missed. Mr. George Hudson, the celebrated railway proprietor, was next generally examined on the respective merits of the two gauges, and the transhipment of goods. He deposed that the narrow gauge was refe; able to the other, and that no kind of mechanical contrivance would do away with the evils and inconvenience arising from transhipment and bre ,k f g.itges. The evidence was in effect a repetition of what he stated in the Commons' Comihittee, already given. Mr. Robert Stephenson, civil engineer, examined by Mr. Holm— He entered into a lengthened explanation of his own line in contra dii tinction to the Great Western scheme, going through the map before the Committee, and showing the number of towns, the aim.unt of population, and the public works that would be accom. medated by tie Trine iine. With regard to the mineral traffic, h considered his line woted he much better ada e ted for that of South Staffordshire than the other. It was the practice on all lines of railway in mineral districts to join side or branch lines up to the mouths of the pits. This he had in view in laying down his line; and it would hay, this great advantage over the other, that the same gauge could be used im both the main and branch lines, so that mineral tr itfie would not require to be disturbed, or changed from one waggon to the other in its transit. The wit ness was next examined as to the question of trans shipment. He did not think that themode proposed by Mr. Brunel would at al get rid of the evil. With regard to placing waggons without wheels on trucks, in order to facilitate transhipment, it had been tried on several occasion and abandoned on account of the confusion it created. It had been attempted on the Liverpool, and Manchester, and Bolton Railways, and he had tried it himself at Canterbury, but in all these cases it had been given up. The Change at the break of gauge was the least part of the evil. The machine pr..posed by Mr. Brunel would but very partially meet the evil. One of a similar kind at Warrington had been abandoned. It the narrow gauge lines were adopted, the whole question of transhipment would be confined to the distance from Oxford to B isingstoke, and a narrow gauge like oetween those two points would settle the question if gauges for ever, from Inverness, in the north of Scotland, to Southampton, in the south of England. Ills estimate of the A,ondon and Birmingham scheme was 3,040,000/., ineuding the local traffic, or side lines. He esti mated Mr. Brunel's scheme at 2,029.999/.; this was allowing nothing for side lines at all ; so that the amount of moi.ey for the two schemes was about the same, though his scheme gave a much greater amount of accommodation than the other. His lines were ten miles longer than the others, but the cut tings were muth leis. The calculation of Mr. Brunel's lines just given allowed three limes of rails on the Oxford and Worcester line. With four lines of rails on the two gauges, the expense of Mr. Brunel's scheme would he 3,118,0591., and with side lines, like the Tring sch me, 3,297,6764 Supposing that the Rugby line was laid down the same, as the Oxford and Worcester line, then the total cost would be 3,519,0001. He con. sidered Mr. Brunel's esti ...tea were much too tow. Instead of making the Rigby line a' 12,000/. per mile, as calculated, it would require 16,0001. or 17,0001. The quantity of earthwork on that bee wee 90,000 feet per mile. Mr Brunel's estimate wan 2,100,000/., so that, taking the lowest estimate the witness had given, compered with that of Mr. Brunel, there was a eeficiency of neir'y a million. The cost of the scheme would be so great, that it was doublel whether it could be made to pay interest on the capital invested, unless it commanded a considerable amount of the through norther, traffic. Cross exanwited by Mr. TALBOT— With respect to the estimates of Mr. Ikuni 1, they had never been questioned in the House of Co 11111A18. He had not beet) examined on them, though he was satisfied ref th it deficiency. He thought it utterly impossible to construct the Oxford and Rugby line at 12,000/. per mile. His recant experience of the Peterborough line convinced him it could not be done. The Noble CHAIRMAN inquired if it was the intention of Mr. Tal int to tender ..ily evidence on the estimates ? Mr. TALnor replh 4, Mr. Brunel, according to previous arrange m*•nt, had ben furnished with a +eries of queries on the subject, to which he had given answers that would be adduced before the Corn miuce.

In justice to themselves as aiijudicators Oil t he interests of the public, as wed as the particular injustice to those companies, and in justice to their officer, the Committee had specifically asked the quostion of Mr. Creed whether he had, or had not, any interest in the companies before that Committee, and he had given a most satisfactory assurance that he was not in any way whatever concerned in the issue of the inquiry, or connected with the schemes. Several other anonymous corn. munications, some of a similar tendency, had been received, but the Committee had no thimght it necessary to notice any but that named t.„.rlay.

Lieutenant-Colonel Alder, residing at 16, Hawley-street, Kentish Town, was brought up on a charge of having threat ened to horsewhip Mr. Henry Andrew Pearson, his next door neighbour; It appeared that the Gallant Colonel had sent to borrow a shilling of the complainant, and, upon being refused, had thrown various articles into his garden, which were thrown back again. The defendant then stood by the wall which separates the two houses, and declared with an oath that he would horsewhip com plainant whenever he caught him out. It appeared, as the defendant indeed himself admitted, that he had been under the care of a keeper a few months back. He said that the expres sion was uttered in the heat of the moment, and he humbly begged. Mr. Pearson's pardon, and..promised, on the honour of a gentleman, that it should not occur again. Mr. LONG .ultimately liberated the defendant on his own re coonisance in 100/. to keep the peace for six months, but inti mated that, in case he again threatened the complainant, he would be rigorously dealt with. _ _ SOUTHWARK. - ------. Mr. Roberts, a solicitor of Church -street, Trinity-square, whose wife was brought up to this Court on Thursday, charged with making two attempts on her life, waited on Mr. Cotting ham for the purpose of relating the circumstances und er w hi c h he refused to contribute in any way to her support subsequently to the disgraceful affair which led to their separation upwards of four years ago. Mr. COTTINGHAM, addressing Mr. Roberts, detailed the facts which came out before him relative to the two very de termined attempts his wife had made to destroy herself, and at the same time said that, although he (Mr. R.) was legally exempted from any claim upon him, yet .nevertheless, as ,th e unfortunate woman was reduced to such an extreme state of distress, were it his case, he would allow her something to save her from destruction. Mr. Roberts said that he was at all times anxious to conform to any recommendation which fell from so humane a Magis trate as Mr. Cottingham, but that he (Mr. Roberts) felt that were he to allow his wife - anything it would amount to con donation, and prevent him from obtaining a divorce, which he eventually intended to procure ; that at the period the unfortu - nate circumstances happened he ( Mr. R.) had a flourishivg business, but he regretted to state that since then, owing to the train of misfortunes which ensued, his business had fallen off materially, but still, by industry and perseverance, he hoped to gain his former position—the trouble of mind he had under gone, and the heavy expenses to which he had been subjected in punishing his wife's seducer—all conspiring to affect consi derably his professional avocations ; that the children which his wife had were born long since their separation, and he could not bring his mind to contribute support to the illegitimate off spring of another man, and that if he rendered her assistance that must be the case; that subsequently to his separation from his wife she had an asylum afforded her at her sister's house, but that the latter was compelled to discontinue it in consequence of her misconduct, and that since then she had been reduced to the condition which induc'd her to make the two late attempts upon her life Mr Cottingham said he was aware of the situation in which Mr. Roberts was placed with regard to his wife, but still he thought he might indirectly assist the unfortunate outcast. Most undoubtedly the parents were the parties upon whom now she had a right to the strongest claim, and that he (Mr. Cotting ham) had written to them upon the subject, but had not yet received an answer. Until then, Mrs. Roberts would remain in custody, for want of the required sureties, to prevent a repeti tion of the attempt upon her life. Mr. Roberts, having expressed his obligation to the magis ' trate for the humanity he had evinced throughout the distress ing affair, then withdrew. GREEN WIC H. David Passnicre Taylor, of Illisset-street, Greenwich. soli citor, was brought before Mr. Traill, charged with an assault of an improper character upon Elizt Spain, a little girl aged nine years and eleven months, who did daily work as a servant in his house. It appeared that the assault complained of was committed ou 7 uesday week last, in the absence of the prisoner's wife. Mr. Suter, solicitor, of Greenwich, made a forcible address in the prisoner's favour, and pressed for a summary punish ment ; but Mr. Traill said that it was his duty to send the case to a jury ; but he would take bail for the. prisoners appearance, himself in 80/. ' and two sureties in 401 . each. The bail not being obtained, the prisoner was ultimately conveyed to Maid stone Gaol. THE LATE DREADFUL DEATIT OF A YOUNG LADY DURING AN INQUEST ON 1-lElt BRTHER,. On Saturday forenoon, at ten o'clo3k, Mr. Wakley, M.P., pursuant to adjournment, resumed his sittings at the Ma.. , ons' Arms, D e vonshire-street, Portland-pla c e, o n the body of Mr. Ellis William Delisser, a medical student, aged 19. Mr. Brearey, surgeon, of 73, Great Portland -street, having proved that the death had resulted from natural causes, a verdict to that effect was recorded. The jury were then empanelled to inquire into the death of Miss Adelaide Delisser, aged 15, the sister of the last-named deceased, the unfortunate young lady who fell from the second floor window of the mansion, No. 1, Devonshire-street, on Friday, whilst the inquest was being held on her brother. Elizabeth Jeff was the principal witness called. She said she was the lady's-maid in the family of Mrs. Delisserr the As :Jow of the late Dr. Delisser. At the time Miss Delisser fell from her bed-room window, witness had just come out of the next room, and was standing at the door of the young lady's apart ment. She then saw her kneeling en a chair and looking out of the window under the blind, which was down at the time. All of a sudden she heard deceasJd exclaim " Oh my," and on looking towards the window found she was gone. She had seen her but a few minutes before sitting in the same chair, and looking out of the window, which she was in the habit of doing. Witness slept with the deceased, and had never any reason to suppose t hat her mind was in the slightest d e gree affected. She cried very much at her brother's death, but it did not seem to affect her mind. The instant deceased fell, witness ran down stairs screaming,and on reaching the area s w deceased being raised from the flag stones by the cook. She appeared lifelsss and covered with blood, which was pouring from her head. The medical gentlemen arrived immediately, and she was conveyed to her apartment, but died in about an hour and thirty-five minutes after. By the CORONER—I have no doubt whatever but her fall was accidental. She had been cautioned by one of her brothers not to look out of one of the side windows the same morning. Elizabeth Nicholson, another servant, proved having seen de ceased sitting on the chair but a few minutes before the sad event, when she appeared quite cheerful. The jury ret urned a verdict of " Accidental death." A gentleman named Childs here stepped forward and com plained, on the part of the deceased's family, that their sad affliction was not enough, but their feelings were to be still further harrowed by a gross imposition which had been prac tised on the Morning Post and Morning Advertiser news papers that morning, in which papers a paragraph falsely de clared that Miss Delisser had committed suicide. The CORONER said that such a statement was not only false but disgraceful, and no doubt the party who had written the falsehood made a business of it, and delighted in misrepre sentation. _ _ A gentleman hoped the jury would take the matter up and write to the editors of the two papers mentioned, exposing the imposition. The CORONER thought it better that some friend of the family should communicate with the editors, as they might depend upon it the author of the misrepresentation would not contradict his own effusion. There was not the slightest ground even for a supposition that deceased had committed suicide. Mr. Childs and other friends of deceased expreesed their determinatien to act upon the Co. oner's suggestion, and the proceedings ended. The Government contract for 12,000 gallons of white wine for the navy, was on Friday taken by Messrs. Lemon Hart and Son, of 59, Fenchurch.street, City. BRADFORD MARK ET, TO RSDA Y.—Wool —There is nothing materially different either in demand or prices for some weeks past. Fine wools are more inquired after ; but the prices sought by the growers are such as will not admit of pur chases being made for sale in this market. Yarn—There is a slight improvement in the demand, and the spinners generally are not inclined to spin except to order. There is still a large qusntity of unemployed machinery owing to the ruinously low prices at which yarns have been selling. Piece—The dernaisd for goods suitable for the autumn is tolerably active, and the manutactureri generally are looking for improved prices.— Wakefield Journal. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY. —On Friday Mr. Payne held an inquest at Guy's Hospital, on the boJy of Jonathan Hill, aged forty-three, an engineer. It ap peared by the evidence that on Tuesday evening last, deceased left London by the last Brighton train, to proceed to Shoreham. On the arrival of the train at Reigate deceased got out of the carriage for a few moments. On his return the engine was in slow motion, deceased ran along the platform to overtake it, when he made a suctien stop, and putting out his hand towards the car. riage made a spring to get on to it. In doing so his foot slipped, and he fell beneath the wheels, which passed over him. The en. gine-driver immediately stopped the engine. A special train was provided, and deceased was conveyed to the hospital, where he died on the following day, from the effects of the in, uries he had received. Verdict—Accidental death.

There was a very full attendance of gentlemen interested in the welfare of the colony. Shortly atter one o'clock the Earl of Harewood was called to the chair. Among those present we observed the Earl of St. Vincent, Sir Alexander Grant, the Honourable Douglas Colonel Pennant, Captain Nairne, Edward Thompson, Esq. ; George Thompson, Esq. ; %V. Burge, Esq., Q.C. ; R. Bernal, Esq., M.P. ; R. Gordon, Esq.; Breckford, Esq., and several other gentlemen possessing property in Jamaica. The Noble CHAIRMAN, in opening the business of the meeting, called attention to the great prosperity which had attended the efforts of the Society for promoting immigration and cultivation in Jamaica. The Hill Coolies who had been brought into the colony were a very cheerful and industrious class of men. He considered the present the proper time for promoting immigration into Jamaica. The climate, which was excellent, suited the grams perf-ct;y well, and there was great hope of making the island a settlement as agreeable as it was profitable.—(Cheers.) Mr. SAMUEL HIBBERT, in absence of Colonel Pennant, to whom the duty had been assigned, rose to move thy first resolution. The Hon. Gentleman urged the necessity of the measures contem plated by the present meeting. As far as the principle of immi. gration had been carried out, it had proved most beneficial to the colony; and a most striking contrast was presented in the state of cultivation since tropical labourers had been introduced into Jamaica, from what it bore before the system of immigration commenced. The resolution having been seconded by Mr. BAKER, was unani mously adopted. Mr. BRECKVORD, without making any observation, moved the second resolution, which Mr. EASKIN seconded, and it was unani. mously adopted. Mr. BURGE moved the third resolution, and said—The object which the present meeting sought to effect called loudly for the support of all persons who had the welfare and the civilisation of their fellow-men a; heart. He regretted to say that, so far as re garded the coloured population of our West India colonies, this object had been too long neglected, and it was his conviction, that unless some active measures were at once set on foot, the inha. bitants of Jamaica would be reduced to a comparative state of bar. barism. The effect of neglecting immigration would be to plunge Jamaica Into a worse state of degradation than it had ever been in before emancipation took place. He cordially concurred in the object for which they were then met, in the accomplishment.of which he believed depended the future prosperity of Jamaica. Mr. Scorr seconded the resolution which was agreed to. Sir A. GRANT moved the fourth resolution, and observed, that the accounts which he had received from his agents at St. Mary's and St Thomas's were, that almost all the men of colour, who were formerly labourers, had become freeholders. The conse quence was, that the time when their labour would be most useful to himself (Sir A. Grant) they required for the cultivation of their own land, and were only ;sidling to give their labour to others when they had nothing to do for themselves. The few coolies who had been imported had conducted themselves admirably, and with such general good conduct as to be of the most material advantage to him and others who possessed estates in that part of Jamaica. The resolution having been seconded, was adopted unanimously. Mr. E. THO3IPSON proposed the fifth resolution. He said, hav_ ing just arrived from Jamaica, he felt it necessary to give an ac. count of the good effects of immigration in that country. The whole island of Jamaica was in want or more labour. The census probahly showed a large proportion of labourers to the aniount of population. But the fact was otherwise, for as the Honourable Baronet had just obierved, many: of the labourers were them selves possessors of land, to cultivate which nearly occupied their whole time. He had had several African emigrants on his estate, and from the time of their arrival the increase of labour performed was most astonishing. Of the number of coolies who had arrived, 160 had been put on his estate by Lord Elgin, in order that they might be visited by the immigration agent weekly, and their corn. forts be attended to. The wages of these people—who were a very quiet, orderly set —were extremely good. The terms on which they worked were these :—The employer had to give them a ls. a day for nine hours' labour. He must provide them with a good sized house, and afford them medical attendance in times of sickness. Rice, or whatever was their food, was furnished them on the same terms as the merchant paid. A piece of land was given them to cul tivate for their own benefit, and if they worked longer than nine hours, they were to be paid accordingly. After working for about six months, they accumulated enough to live independent during the rest of the year. He considered the wages not too much, but there was not labour enough while the remuneration was so high. The negroes themselves regarded the coolies with good will, and exhibited more good sense than their pretended friends.—(Cheers.) the resolution was seconded by Mr. ATKINSON, and carried unanimously. A vote of thanks was moved to Mr. Thompson for his valuable statement, and passed. In answer to a question by Mr. GORDON, Mr. Eowarto TtionesoN said there were very few female ins. migrants.

The CHAIRMAN, with warm strati bend for the p o li ce.— the meeting, and great Mr. G. Triomesors persisting in addressing police.—(Cheers.) you resume your scat, I confusion ensuing, the meeting adjourned to another part of the house, and passed the other resolutions. It was agreed that a memorial, embodying the foregoing resolutions, should be submitted to the House of Assembly in Jamaica. A vote of thanks was then passed to the Noble Chairman, who briefly made his acknowledgments, and the meeting separated. While the meeting was passing the last two resolutions, a per_ sonal recor.tre took place between the two Mofr..Tatizrdpsosunesdosntitckhe, stairs; Mr. E. Thompson av a i l i ng himself while his opponent was unarmed and unaided, ex6ep t by two friends, who found two opponents in advocates of immigration. The affray was brisk but brief for the peace-preserving powers interposed, and separated the belligerents. IRELAND. THE DISTURBED DISTRICTS—COERCIVE LAWS. DUBLIN, JULY 17.—1 n the memorials transmitted to the Lord Lieutenant from the counties of Longford, Leitrim, and Cavan, the most urgent demands are made for martial law, or other coercive measures, as the only mode of restoring tranquillity in those districts. It is well known that the Government are unwilling to adopt any such extreme course until the ordinary laws shall have been found ineffectual. Immediately after the memorial of the magistrates had been forwarded from Leitrim, the focus of the predial disturb ances, Mr. Justice Jackson (who had been Solicitor-General under the present Administration), arrived in Carrick-on- Shannon, to open the commission for that county. In his address to the grand jury, he drew an appalling picture of the rapid increase of crime since the commencement of the agra rian disturbances. Referring to the call made upon the Executive by the magistrates for new and coercive laws, his Lordship said : —" I have heard it stated it -will be necessary new laws should be enacted to suppress this growing evil. Additional laws are not required. In my opinion the laws of this land, as they now exist, are abundantly sufficient, if duly administered, to put an end to this system both in this and the adjoining counties. Th ere have been laws enacted a considerable period ago, laws of peculiar severity in their character. No doubt they are so. Formerly the convict under them was subjected to the awful punishment of death. This latter portion has been repealed of late years, and transportation for life sub stituted ; which, with periods of long imprisonment, and severe corporal punishment, await those now convicted of 'offences of this description. If there be a general co-opera' ion from the higher to the well-disposed low classes, it will be utterly impossible this state of things can be prolonged." The Learned Judge then referred to his own experience when similar disturbances existed, especially in Clare in 1831, when a much worse state of things existed. On those occasions, the ordinary laws were found all sufficient for the suppression of illegal confederacies, organised under the pretext of grievances connected with land. his Lordship thus concluded an admirable charge, which cannot fail to produce a very salutary effect under present circumstances " My opinion with regard to the sufficiency of the laws is, that they are quite , powerful enough ; but, if not found to be adequate, I make no doubt other. laws more severe and more penal in their consequences will be enacted if neces sary. Some of us may be too young, but many of us know what dreadful consequences attended the suspension of the habeas corpus, the drum-head court-martial, and other penalties of this kind, beyond the power of the common law ; and if this combination be not put down, that will be the case with this county. Gentlemen, it is only necessary for you to co-operate with the other classes, and in the dis charge of your duty as magistrates, by the due adminis tration of the law in bringing offenders to justice, enable those entrusted to administer it to act and restore your county to tranquillity." COUNTY OF ARMAGH', JULY 15. .._. EXTRAORDLNARY Cask; or MURDER.—A case of a most revolting character was tried betbre Judge Ball. Peter Magill, a small farmer, was indicted for the murder of Chris- topiierJordani on the Ist of April, near Forkhill, by beating him, and afterwards throwing him in a bog-hole. The prin cipal witness against the prisoner was his own son, Owen Magill, who described the murder, and identificed his father as the perpetrator. Another son had sworn informations, but afterwards withdrew them ; and, it is said, is to be pro secuted for perjury. In the cross-examination of the witness, some irregularity appeared in the informations, which caused the Learned Judge to rebuke the Crown solicitor, Mr. Hamilton, for neglect. The case was adjourned until Wednesday. ORANGE PROCESSIONS.—INQUEST AT ARMAGH. The inquest at Armagh, on the body of John Boyle, a Roman Catholic youth, shot by the Orangemen, was resumed yesterday, and has not yet terminated. STATE OX TIPPERARY.—In opening the quarter sessions at Nenagh, on Monday, Mr. Sergeant Howley congratulated the grand jury on the improved state of the district. It was in that division of the county that agrarian disturbances so extensively prevailed two or three months since. The other —the southern division—has enjoyed tranquillity for a con siderable time, and the calendar for the coming assizes is one of the lightest for many years. DUBLIN STOCK EXCHANGE.—JELY 17.

RE PORT FROM THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON THE PETITIONS RESPECT ING THE IRISH GREAT WESTERN RAIL WAY BILL. By the Lords' Committees appointed a Select Committee to consider of the petition of James Pim, junior, of the city of Dublin, banker, and one of the company of undertakers of the Grand Canal, Ireland, complaining that the Standing Orders had not been complied with on the Irish Great Western Railway (Dublin to Galway) Bill, and praying to be heard by his agents and witnesses in support of the allegations of his petition presented on the 7th of this instant July; and also a similar petition presented on the Bth of this instant July; and to report to the House; and to whom were referred certain petitions in relation to this matter presented on the 11th of this instant July : ORDERED TO REPORT, That the Coimuittee have met, and considered the sub ject matter to them refereed, and have examined several wit nesses on the allegation of forged and tictitiuuS names having been placed on the contract deed, but have not thought it expedient to examine into the other allegations, which may be more properly inquired into by referring the Bill back to the Standing Order Committee, or before the Select Com mittee if the Bill should be opposed. The Committee find, however, that it has not been the practice of the Directors of this Company to require refer ences to the characters of the parties applying for shares, and that allotments have been made to persons under feigned and fictitious names, to paupers, and to persons who would not have been allowed under their real names to obtain shares, and who could have no means of paying, from their own re sources, even the deposit. That the letters addressed to those persons were by some means obtained before their delivery by the post. That all the transactions of the company appear to have been carried on in an unsatisfactory and careless manner ; that out of 974 applications 863 had no reference whatever, and 11l had references, of which, however, only 29 appear to have been marked as inquired into, and out of that num ber 14 reported as bad. That the Committee have no means of ascertaining how many of the persons whose names are attached to the con tract deed are solvent persons. That they cannot conclude their report without observ ing that the system adopted is one which tends to defeat the intentions of the Legislature, by passing a fraudulent and fictitious contract deed through the Standing Order Commit tee, and by this means substituting a list of shareholders, who, in case of a failure of the undertaking, woul I have no means of making good the amount for which they appear on the deed to be responsible; and they beg leave to express their opinion, that the reduction made in the last session of the amount of deposit previously required by Parliament has had the effect of facilitating the commission of frauds of *;,, le nature of those adverted to in this report. And the Committee have directed the Min:Ae s o f Evi dence taken before them to be laid before yo , :.t. Lordships. THEATRE ROYAL DUBLIN. - -The fertile invention of Halle has given to the world more than one opera since The Daughter of St. Mark was produced at Drury.lane; but last even ing was the first time of Poi representation here, and it had the comparative merit of novelty, as with the exception of one, or at lean two airs, the :nusic is not generally known in a detached form. The opera itself has many of the characteristics of Balfe's style. A brilliant, often showy, but not generally very profound instrumen tation ; not a few common-places, so well expressed as to obtain an importance merely intrinsic, and then some graceful strain of melody weaving its remembered sweetness through other and lengthened passages which have left no abiding-place. As to the genius of the composer, it is more or less apparent in all his works; but he often writes hastily and without that intensity of purpose which would displace a single note, if not in pursuance of a general and matured design. The finale to the first act is an elaborate and effective piece of concerted music. The song which won most ap plause was that sung by Mr. Harrison, with admirable expression and delicacy of manner, "We may be happy yet." It is a very pleasing melody, and met with an encore, as did also the serenade in the second act: Miss Romer rendered the music of her part with much energy, skill, and feeling; and in the pretty rondo at the close she showed that her vocal powers were equal to the long trial to which they had been exposed during the evening. Mr. Borrani did every justice to the music, and his fine voice and pure intonation proved most effective in the recitative. He was equally happy in the less level singing, and the touching air " When all around our path is dreary," received an encore. In the part of Moncenigo Mr. Chute has his energies overtaxed, as was soon ap. parent. The mice en scene was creditable to the theatre, and the opera having been favourably received, the leading artistes were called before the curtain to receive the floral compliments, &c., usual upon such occasions. The house was fully and fashionably attended.—Saunders's News letter. A NEST OF INIQUITY.—On Friday, Mary Lawson, an elderly woman, residing in George-court, Fox.court, Gray's Inn-lane, was charged, 4 at Clerkenkell Police -court, with having committed an assault upon a girl, one of her lodgers. In the course of the investigation, it was discovered that the defendant rented the whole of George-court, consisting of seven houses, which she let out in tenements for brothels to prostitutes, and she had accom modation for forty-six girls. The complainant owed her 2s. tiel, rent, for which her goods were seized : and having an infant to wassup p i t, s iev h w ede by s ome ome drivenof theto e b poor creatures r a eat o u u r t es i n great living i want, n t the e whe n hhouse . consequence of which they were persecuted and threat , .., ned that their property should be seized unless they left the t v ".,ufte. A broker, named Chase, of Saffron-hill, who:was emiPlyed to distrain, was cautioned by Mr. Greenwood, who inforl'oed him (as a lawyer) that no money can be due arising out of '..e;:h places of immorality. He would take care that the parlsh authorities should be made ac• quainted with the affair, at they ought to indict Mrs. Lawson. He fined her 50s. and costs for the assault, and a message was for. warded to the parish authorities of St. Andrew's, Holborn, with a view of putting down the nuisance. THE GEINSDALE MURDERS NEAR CARLISLE.—It will be remembered that about a month ago two important inquests were held at Carlisle, by several adjournments, on the bodies of Mr. John Graham, a respectable yeoman of the village of Grinsdale, and Margaret Graham, of Kirk Andrews, his daughter.in-law, Who were suspected of having died from the effects of poison. Mr. John Graham, of Kirk Andrews, farmer, the son of the former, afenidi as h e be h i u n s g b a t n h d e f u thye personlatter,. w a T s h t e h e juryer s o r e n t u o r n n w e d h o a m v s e u r s d p i o o n f wilful m e u h r i d 7a e c r so a c quitted.a in g , a n i i n tm st e John Graham for the mur d er o f hi s f at h er his he by poiso n , b ut with resnpact to the ch a r ge l a id aga i nst h i m as to quantity He i s now of a arsenicprisoner h in Carlisle een found i n and gaol, be tbe , t po id c ic k t e e t t s i foofr h t i h s e c m lot u h r e d s e , r a o n f d his wawai deHrsotowoedvtehratolnlevvweodunldesadlasyo last, he made a f u ll confession that he was the murderer of his father and wife, and there is no doubt now but that he will undergo the extreme penalty of the law, shortly after Carlisle assizes in August next ROYAL ARTILLERY FOR NEW ZEALAND. -Orders have been received at Woolwich, in consequence of the recent in telligence ft 4 om New Zealand, that the whole of Captain Turner's company, 6th battalion, are to embark immediately for that quarter of the world ; and the Castle Eden is daily expected from Deptford to convey them to their destination. Previous to the arrival of the last unpleasant intelligence from New Zealand, it was intended that a part of Captain Turner's company should have proceeded to Weedon, to do duty there for some time. but their services are now required on a foreign station. The brad-quarters of the 11th Regi ment of Foot. under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Bloom. field, embark at the same time in the Castle Eden for a pause to Van Diernen's Land. The particulars of this suit, which was itistituted for the purpose of establishing_the right of the plaintiff to th e copy right in the opera of Pra Dian°lo, have often been before the public. Upon the hearing of the motion for an injunction to restrain the sale of the work, the Court refused the injunction, but gave the plaintiff liberty to bring an action at law. Upon the trial of this action in the sittings after Michaelmas Term, 1844, a verdict was given for the plaintiff generally. The defendant obtained a rule for a new trial, upon the grounds-- first, of surprise ; then, that the verdict was against the evi dence, on long affidavits impeaching the credibility of the wit nesses at law on behalf of the plaintiff; and, lastly, on the law of the case. The case was argued again, and upon all the grounds but the last the defendant failed, and the rule, so fir as it was moved on affidavits, was discharged with costs ; but as to the law of the case, as to whether the plaintiff had any copyright in the music, the Court were of opinion that the plaintiff had no copyright, and directed a verdict to be entered accordingly. The result, therefore, was that the case made by the plaintiff in equity had been established ; but the Court of Law decided that the plaintiff could have no copyright. The application now made was that, if the plaintiff's bill were die. missed, it might be dismissed without costs. Mr. Bethell appeared in support of the application, and Mr. Anderdon against it. The VICZXHANCELLOIL said no doubt prima facie the rule was, that if a plaintiff's bill were dismissed, it would be so with costs; but there were many cases in which Lord Eldon and other judges ,had departed from that rule owing to particular circumstances. In this case it appeared that, although the point of law was in favour of the defendant, the defendant had thought fit, by way of support to his argument, to set up long statements of facts which compelled the plaintiff to enter into evidence as to these facts, and a false scent was consequently set up; the defendant by this course had unnecessarily produced a great portion of the expenses. The defendant had virtually failed on all the facts, but had succeeded upon the dry point of law. The bill must be dismissed ; but he thought it a very fair case for dismissing it without costs. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Juk 19. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONIILANQUE.) IN RE EASTWOOD.—!MPORTANT CASE. This bankrupt carried on business as a grocer at Brighton, and to-day was appointed for the choice of assignees. Mr. BENNETT, a solicitor of Brighton, appeared with a power of attorney, signed by the country creditors, in favour of a Mr. Bass. _ _ Mr. Witetiesow objected to that gentleman, on the ground that he was one of the trustees under a deed of assignment for the benefit of creditors, consequently, that he would be an accounting party to the assignees. Mr. BENNETT said the trade assignees were now merely no minal parties, since there was an official assignee. The Learned COMMISSIONER said it was equally their duty now, as before, to exercise zeal and diligence. He considered that the objection was well founded. Mr. BENNETT then urged that Mr. Batt was entitled to his appointment, as the representative of all the parties to the deed. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that amounted to the same thing; it mattered very little whether he applied as an invidual creditor or as the representative of many, having one common interest. He certainly could not assent to his being chosen, unless an assignee from the other side was joined in office with him, and he bound himself not to interfere in ques tions affecting the deed. Mr. BENNETT then proposed two of the creditors to be supported by the •ote of Messrs Bass. Mr. WILKINSON objected to them, as being parties to the deed, which was one which might be applied adversely to the interest of the London creditors. The Learned COMMISSIONER said their being parties to the deed would not alone render them unfit ; but if it could be shown that they were mere puppets in the hands of any party, then he would not assent to their appointment. Mr. BENNETT said the objection taken by Mr. Wilkinson was treating them like a band of conspirators. Mr. WILKINSON said there might be favouritism without conspiracy. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that some assignees were sleepy, but if there was not due activity used the Court would allow the official assignee to act alone. He said that these deeds were great nuisances, generally privately concocted and signed by two or three creditors as bell-weathers to lead the whole flock.—( Laughter.) Mr. BEN NETT said they happened to be country bell-weathers in this case, or his friend Mr. Wilkinson would have followed. It was ultimately agreed that the choice should proceed in the usual way, Mr. Bass retiring. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. If O,IIE ClRCUlT.—Clieloisfo,W, July 18. CROWN COURT.—(Before Chief Justice TiarnaL. ) THE INCENDIARY FIRES AT BRAINTREE —Alfred Coote, 16, Carpenter, and Isaiah Fish, 16, bricklayer, were indicted for wilfully and maliciously setting fire to three barns, two granaries, and other buildings, the property of thur Algernon, Earl of Essex, in the occupation of Richard Baynes, and also with setting fire to two stacks of wheat, the property of Richard Baynes. Messrs. Marsh and Hawkins conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Gray the defence. The trial created a good deal of interest, and occupied the Court until late in the evening. Mr. Ms.asit stated the case for the prosecution, and said that the principal evidence against the prisoner was the testi mony of a young man, who stood in the position of an accom plice; but as the prisoners had themselves made a statement almost amounting to a confession, he apprehended that the jury, notwithstanding the nature of the evidence in support of the prosecution, would entertain no doubt of the guilt of the prisoners. Mr. Richard Baynes, the prosecutor, deposed that he oceu pied a farm called Rayne Lodge, in the parish of Rayne, near Br aintree, which was the property of the Earl of Essex. A fire took place on his premises on Saturday night, the 16th of March, 1844, and before it could be extinguished, three large barns, two large wheat stacks, and five cattle sheds were completely consumed. The barns were full of grain, wheat, beans, and oats, and the value of the property destroyed was 1,500/. He added, that he was only insured to the amount of 8001., and he received that sum from the insurance office. Cross-examined—He knew nothing of the prisoners. The family were sitting at supper, about a quarter past nine o'clock, when the first alarm of the fire was given. William Wade, the approver, a lad of lit, was then examined. He deposed that he was a silk weaver, and lived at Braintree, and knew both the prisoners. He remembered the day of the fire at Mr. Baynes's, and was with both prisoners between 2 and 3 o'clock on that day, and they all walked together to Mr. Baynes's spring, where Fish told him and Come to stop and he would go and see what sort of place it was to have a fire. After they had waited about five minutes, Fish came hack and said it was as good a place as any to have a fire, for there were plenty of stacks and barns. They then all returned to the town, and met again at night at the Crown and Anchor beer shop, from which place they again went to the prosecutor's farm, and proceeded through a gap in the hedge to the barns, and stood by the side of one of them, in which there was a hole large enough for a man's fist to go through. Fish said that the hole was a good place for the fire to be put in, and Coote gave him his lueifer matches, which he tried to set on fire hut could not do so. Coate then gave him two more matches which he also tried to light, but none of them would ignite, and upon this they all went back to the Star beer-shop at Braintree, where Coote was sent by Fish to perchive a box of lucifers. While witness was alone with Fish, he persuaded him not to set fire to the place, and told him that if he did he would be sure to be found out some day or other. When (.;'oote returned with the lucifers, Fish told him thath , s ; (witness) would not go, and he added, Come on, I'll golf you do, death or glory. I'll go and light it." At tat time Coote had: the box of matches. in his hand, and th:-,y both went away together towards the residence of tie prosecutor, which was about three-quarters of a mile off. This was between eight and nine o'clock in the evening. HI (witness) remained behind at Braintree, and in about half-an hour after the prisoners had left him he heard the alarm of fire in the direction from Rayne, and he shortly afterwards ascer tained that the fire was at the prosecutor's. Witness after wards went to the fire, and saw the prisoner Coote there, and he said to him, " This is a good one, a'int it." There was another fire in the village on the following Monday, and wit ness saw both the prisoners the day afterwards, assisting in re moving some furniture from a field where it had been removed from the fire. Ciotti asked him to help him, and at the same time said, " This was a rare flare up last night, but it was not so good as the one I lit on Saturday night at Baynes's." Fish was by at the time this was said, and be added, " We went up to Baynes's on Saturday night, and I shoved my hand through the hole in the barn, and Coote then put a light to it." Coote afterwards said that when they had set the place en fire, they both ran away, and hid in the wood untill they saw the people come to the fire. The witness then said that Fish afterwards told him the same story, and that he (wituess) was subse quently taken into custody upon the charge of being concerned in the fire, but was afterwards admitted to give evidence. Cross-examined—Witness was 18 years old. He now came from gaol to give evidence. He was not taken into custody upon this charge until a twelvemonth after the fire - happened, and he did not tell the story he had just narrated until after he was in custody. He was not told that lie would be admitted Queen's evidence until last Friday, and he then stated all he knew. He was at present under the charge of committing another fire himself, and had not been tried. John Andrews deposed that he knew the prisoners. He remembered the fires that took place at the prosecutor's, and at Mr. Scale's and Mr. Lacey's, and while in company with the prisoners, he remarked that " It was a curious job about they fires," and Coote said " We did them, only you must not say anything about it." Cross-examined—He was himself charged with two tires. He had been seven or eight weeks in gaol, and he did not tell this story until last Friday. William Bradford, a person in the service of the prosecutor, proved that he remembered having observed such a hole as the one spoken of by the approver Wade, in one of the barns, and that insid e the barn close to the whole there was a quantity of dry barl e y, wh i ch could, of course, have been easily ignited. He likewi se stated that when h e fi rst h ear d t h e a l arm o f fi re , the lames appeared to proceed from thatportion of the barn where th e h o l e was. John Dunn, ,ne of the Essex constabulary. deposed that he apprehended the prisoner Fish on the 23d of May, and told him tha; ne took hi m f or t h e fi res at Braintree, in 1844 . He replied, " I d are say I s h a ll b e s ent out of the country for ' those fires, and if I am, I cannot be sent to a m uch worse ' country than this." Everett, another constable, proved that he apprehended Coate on the 12th May last, and while he was in custody he told him that helms always dreaming about the fires, and that he had jumped up in the night, and was uoable to get any sleep for them, and when he was in London he always thought that he (witness) was after him. He likewise said that he, Wade, and Fish had done all the fires at Braintree. Witness subse quently took down his statement in writing. The statement was put in and read. It went to confirm in all material pa r ti cu l ars t h e ev id ence o f the approver Wade. This was the case for the prosecution. The Learned Counsel having addressed the jury for the prisoners, Lord Chief Justice TINDAL summed up, and the jury almost immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoners were directly called up for judgment, and sentenced to be transported for fifteen years. It was stated that they had confessed to having committed two distinct fires, there being an entire absence on every case of any feeling of malice towards the owner of the property, and it appearing that they were merely actuated by a desire for mischief. FINE LANGUAGE.—A fashionable lady, being in quired of how she liked the dinner at a distinguished party, her reply was—" The dinner was sweet, but my scat was so promote from the nicknacks, that I could not ratify my appetite, and the pickled cherries had such a defect upon my head, that I made a motion to leave the table, but Mr. ----- gave me some hartshona, dissolved in water, which bereaved me." CRIMINAL STATISTICS.—A Parliamentary Bine Book has just been issued, containing an account of criminal (of fenders in England and Wales in the course of last year. It ap pears that in 1844 the oommitments numbered 26,542, which was a considerable diminution compared with the preceding year, when the commitments amounted to 29,591. In 1841, there were 27,760 commitments for trial; in 1842, 31,309 ; in 1843. 29,591 ; and in 1844, only 26,542 It would seem that, • for the last five years, the numbers have increased, compared with the preceding VO years. The commitment. for the last five ye aye numb* red 142,30, and in the previous five years, 112,864. William Smith and Edward Pollen, who were understood to be Oxford scholars, lodging at the King's Arms Tavern, Snow-hill, attended to answer the complaint of Mr. Coleman, a straw bonnet manufacturer in New Faning , lon street, for assaulting his wife. Two other young gentlemen in court were pointed out as associates of the defendants, but whose names did not transpire. Alexander Sanderson, a policeman, stated that on the sth of July he was on duty on Holborn-hill, about eleven o'clock, when Mr. Coleman accosted him, and pointed out the defend ants and two others, saying they had insulted his wife; but there not being sufficient to justify him in taking them into custody, he merely required them to move on, and they went away. Mr. Coleman then lodged a complaint against him for not taking them into custody, and he therefore summoned them. Mrs. Coleman said that they had come to her shop, and one of them put his arm round the neck of her shopwoman, and said that he wanted to buy a bonnet; and another, who she was told was a young clergyman, pushed against her, when she slapped his face. They then rang the shop bell violently, and, being enceinte, she was greatly excited. Mr. Coleman then came down, and they went away. It was stated t hat they had offered 31. as a compromise, but Mr. Coleman would not take less than Si. for the poor-box. He stated that he believed one of them to be the person who had been fined 5/. for kinking a waiter down stairs at the house whets they were now lodging. One of the defendants observed that that had nothing to do with this case. As none of the defendants could be identified, Mr. Alder man HUGHES said that Mrs. Coleman had taken the law into her own hands, but he would grant a summons against the party who pushed her if required. This house appeared to be frequented by disorderly Oxford students ; but he warned them that no frolicking would be permitted here. They were discharged. BOW-STREET. An old woman, named. Mary N‘Mahon, who has for many years kept a fruit-stall at the corner of King-street, Holborn, was charged with having attempted to commit suicide by hang ing herself. It appeared from the evidence of a young man, that at an early hour on Friday morning he saw the defendant eater the palings surrounding one of the houses now being built at the east end of Oxford-street, and was from her manner induced to watch her. He went round and saw that she had fastened one end of a rope round her neck, and the other to the area rail ings, and before he could prevent her had thrown herself off; he, however, cut her down immediately. Mr. JARDINE ordered her to find bail for her future good behaviour. LATEST PRICES OF SHARES IN RAILWAYS, BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COMPANIES' STOCK.
