It is proposed, in the first instance, to make a railway from Callao, the chief port, to Lima, the capital of Peru, the great mart of tral - 3, and general resort of the whole Peruvian nation ; ant afterwards to Liy such lines on the coast of the Pacific as may be approved of by the Shareholders at a general meeting. The distance from Callao to Lima is about seven English miles. There is open ground all the way suited to receive the rails, the gra dient uniform, and no curves, with an abundant s:ipply of water power. It is estimated that the cost of this line will not exceed 531,0001. ; and, when it is considered that it will command the whole traffic of passengers, and the conveyance of goods between the chief port and the .apical of Peru, it may fairly be assumed that the un dertaking will be one of unusual profit. Should the operations of the Company be confined to the line be tween Callao and Lima, no further portion of the capital will be called for than may he sufficient to construct that line ; and it the objects of the Company he not carried out, the whole of the deposit-money will be returned.

This Company is originated on data supplied by official returns, obtained from a majority of the leading cities and towns hi the king dom, exhibiting an almost nominal risk in drapers' establishments, and is based upon the principle of excluding all extra hazardous risks ; but power is intended to be Tested in the Directors to accept (if they think proper) applications for general insurances, where the risks can be clearly shown not to exceed that of a general draper's es blishment. The effect of a preliminary canvass has been to obtain large pro mises of support in different districts, both by intended insurances and subscription for shares. It is believed, also, that (rejecting all extra risks) the Directors will be in a condition to materially reduce the premiums payable for insurances. A small portion only of the capital is intended to be called for, and the proprietors are to be entitled to interest on the same, and to one third of the clear profits; one-third being also retained to consti tute a sinking fund, and one-third distributed in bonuses amongst the assured.

EUROPEAN MERCANTILE 'House AT BUSHIRE.—We were favoured with the following extract of a letter, dated at Bushire on the 4th of May. It contains information which will, we dare say, prove interesting to our mercantile friends : " A mercantile house has been established in this place under the denomination of Floyd, Mills, and Co. They purpose hav ing establishments for the sale of European goods by whole sale—at Shiraz, Ispahan, Bagdad, Bussorah, Bahrein, and Muscat, and they will do business on a very large scale. They intend to have a steamer employed on the river Tigris, to carry their goods to and from Bagdad. They intend sending home wool, gums, silks, &c., and if they are careful, and can over come the combinations which the Persian merchants will raise against them, they will probably make a profitable speculation. It is at any rate a bold one. They have letters from the Fo reign Secretary to the Court of Persia, and no obstacles will be thrown in their way in that quarter. Dr. Floyd was surgeon to the expedition which explored the River Euphrates. under Colonel Chesney. The Bushire native merchants dread the influence that will accrue to these enterprising people, and offer to buy all their goods at %shire on condition that none is sent up the country."—Bombay Gentleman's Gazette. DREADFUL OUTRAGE AT WEST TILBURY.—It is our painful duty to record an outrage scarcely exceeded in the annals of crime, which occurred in the parish of West Tilbury, oil the night of Sunday last. At about half-past ten on the nir,ht in question, a person, said to be of the name of Rutledge, a master blacksmith, at Brentwood, was returning in that direction, with his wife, from Tilbury Fort. When about half privates a o m f ie a l re bj m lo e w nt the tatio p o a e r d so a n t a t g h e e f t o h r e t y , p w re e p re ara m to e r t y b t y o three r embarkation on Tuesday, the sth instant, on board the barque Ramilies for the West Indies. The woman was at the time some distance in :licence of her husband, and was attacked in the most ferocious manner by the men in question. Her cries brought her husband speedily to her assistance, who was in stantly knocked down by their bludgeons,and received such severe wounds in the head that he is now lying at West Tilbury without any hope of recovery. :The miscreants then directed their violence once more against the woman, and all three are repre sented, notwithstanding her vigorous resistance, to have com mitted a capital offence upon her person, the details of which are wholly unfit for publication. They then stripped their victims of the property they bad about them, and made off in the direction of the fort. By this time, however, the cries of the sufferers had collected persons from the neighbourhood, who pursued and captured the villains, who were taken next morning before the Rev. H. S. Hele, at Grays, and by him remanded. The accused are Irish, and are said to have been intoxicated, having been drinking the whole evening at West Tilbury. On Tuesday they were brought before the bench of Magistrates at Orsett, Essex, apon the twofold charge of post poned high way robbery and violation. The :examination had from a former day, the complainant and his wife being too ill to attend, owing to the injuries they had received, and from which, it is feared, that one of the parties is not likely to recover. After the examination of the prosecutrix, the Chair man asked her if she coutd swear positively as to the prisoners being the party by whom she and her husband were assaulted ? The prosecutrix said she had not the least doubt as to their identity. They were committed for trial at the next assizes upon both charges. SERIOUS COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—An accident of a very serious character occurred on Saturday morning last at Moira Colliery, near Ashby-de-la-Zouch, from an explosion of hydrogen gas in the Bath pit, from the effects of which three persons died and fifteen others were seriously injured, several of whom are so dangerously hurt as almost to preclude the hope of their recovery. An inquest was held on Monday before J. Gregory, Esq., Coroner, when it appeared that the gas by which the explosion was caused had exuded from the roof of the pit, and that no blame was attributable to the managers of the colliery.

Otrniitg LONDON, THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1845. There is no profession, no business, no trade, no calling, we sincerely. believe, so much exposed as the, which it is our misfortune to follow, to misrepresenta tion of motives, and misconception of opinions and prin ciples, in all cases where these happen to be adverse to the pretensions or the interests—as in many cases they necessarily must be—of some one class or other, whose sensitiveness is so extreme that the mere force of con sciousness often makes them cry out, before, even, they are so much as, intentionally, hinted at But journalism is also the most devoted of vocations. They whose property is embarked in it are marked out for the prey of those whose honest efforts are directed to extracting a furtive property out of it. The state of the law is so anomalous, on all that regards the press, that it drops almost all the favorite presumptions in dealing with any charges that are preferred against newspapers, which it would recognize in dealing with charges against any class of her MAJESTY'S subjects, not connected with them. The rule being, as to all other persons, to put the most favourable construction on motives, the ex ception is taken against owners, editors, and writers in the public papers. The absence of all equity in this invidious distinction may be illustrated by the considera tion that if an editor do not display all vigilance in announcing, as they occur, new cases of misde meanour, fraud, or other offences, of which it is necessary, either for the protection of their interests or the gratifi cation of their curiosity, that the public should be in. formed; and the most uncompromising boldness in de nouncing such delinquencies and holding up the parties who are proved guilty of them to the reprobation of the virtuous and the honest ;—that editor is rendered con temptible, not to say infamous, in the eyes of his coun trymen by his moral pusillanimity, If, on the other hand, he fearlessly discharge his most reeponsible and important task, and, either in the hurry of composition, or the interruptions and distractions of bis business, he happen; out of a great variety of facts proved on the trial to assume one, by mistake, as proved , which was only implied, no proof upon it having been gone into, he is liable to an action for such oversight, although, in the first place, the mistake may not in the slightest degree affect the merits of the case against the party so proceeding against him, and although, in the second, the inference may be irresistible that the fact is precisely identical with the assumption. One of the most sin gular and vexatious liabilities to which an editor may subj« ct a newspaper, in the total absence of all design to give offence, and in the discharge of his habitual duty, has just been afforded by an action brought against a respectable and well-known provincial journal, under the following circumstances :—Two parties, a Mr. DEW , (air, state agent in the Strand), and another iedividual re &ding at Bayswater, were stated, in an account given by the Times newspaper, to have been brought up before the magistrate, at the MarlborOugh-street police-office, charged with being concerned in an illegal negotiation for the sale of an East India cadetship, in violation of the 40th Geo. 111., which makes such a proceeding a misdemeanour. The Times report, in describing the history of the transaction (which it is not necessary here to go into), affirmed that the gentleman by whose in influence and credit it was represented, to a Mr. COP PARD, that the cadetship could be obtained was a Mr. SHANK, who had once been a Director of the East India Company ; and that on the production of a certain do cument, "purporting to be signed by that gentleman," Mr. cOPPARD paid down 1,05 Uh iu the nature of "con sideration money." Evidence was called to disprove this signature. The Brighton Guardian, in transferring an abstract of this report into its columns, described this result thus :—that the pretended signature of SHANK was " proved to be a forgery." Now, if the affirmative fact of a signature being genuine is disproved, it seems to us the most legitimate of all conclusions that can be jumped to, that the negative fact is thereby established. If that which purports to be the signature of A. B. is proved not to be such, the signature of A. 8., by all necessary inference, must have been forged. But the Mr. DEW, who was brought up before the Marlborough-street police magistrate, and ad mitted to bail, subsequently brings an action be fore a sheriff's jury, to assess damages against the publisher of the Brighton Guardian for a libel, inasmuch as this mode of•stating the facts amounted to an imputa tion of forgery, which had had the effiect of seriously damaging him in his business. Accordingly, Mr. DEW'S book-keeper was called, who d posed that his master's business connexion lay chiefly in Sussex, and that, since the 17th of June, the day on which the libellous mis statement was published in the Brighton Guardian, Mr, l)Ew's business had marvellously fallen off. The busi ness Lad, prior to that time,.been worth from 1,500/. to 1,600/. a-) ear. "For a fortnight no letter came from Sussex." On his cross-examination by Mr. JAMES, this witness admitted that DEW had been three times before the police magistrate, and that, after the report in the Tines got down into Sussex, they had no more letters. He said that the business generally had fallen off—that in Sussex in particular—and that himself and Mr. DEW'S two other clerks had now not much to do except to be looked at. We fully concur in the opinien expressed by the Learncd Counsel for the Brighton Guardian, " that the falling off of the plain tiff's business must have been owing, not to the pub. lication of the paragraph complained of by him, in the Sussex papers, but to the charge of being concerned in the illegal sale of the cadetship, for which he was taken three times before a police magistrate," and the de tails of which had been previously published in the Times. Now, is it not scandalous that editors of newspapers, in the honest discharge of their business, should be left, by the present preposterous condition of the law of libel, like trial targets, to be shot at (under ridicul ous pretences which no man is compelled to believe, and few or none will believe) by parties, whose " business is falling off," whether for their amusement or their profit. The law which admits of such vexatious pro ceedings on grounds so trumpery as those which were solemnly valued by a jury, empanelled upon oath, at " one-eighth of a penny"—(the amount assessed in com pensation for the ravages alleged to have been committed by the mistake of the Brighton Guardian on a business estimated at 1,500/. or 1,600/. a-year) ; such a law must surely have been devised by, and can only be retained for the benefit of such plaintiffs and attorneys as are sometimes heard of—as derive a subsistence from invoking its latent capacities for the infliction of the most annoying and intolerable exactions on the purses of more respectable and honest individuals than themselves. Mr. CoHusr may reasonably consider the daa;sges against him as a verdict of honourable at quittsl ; but why should the law subject him to incur heavy costs in defending himself against such an meat)), brought under such circumstances ? We wish to draw the particular attention of our readers to a letter of Mr. HUME'S, which appears in Another part of our paper, and also to the letter from the Dean of DURHAM to that gentleman, on the subject of opening the cathedrals to the public without fee. All admirers of our monumental and cathedral antiquities-- all lovers of the fine arts—all religious members of the Church of England, are under the greatest obligation to Mr. HUME, who, through evil report and good re port, has, for years past, unceasingly laboured to obtaia for the public free access to these historical mo numents of the glory of bygone ages, and to rescue our eccleAaitical dignitaries from the degradation of being the keepers of a penny show shop. All honour to the Dean and Chapter of Norwich, and the Dean and Chap ter of Durham, who have so ably seconded him. All honour, too, to Sir ROBERT PEEL, through whose persua sion the Dean and Chapter of Westminster have at length been brought to take a common sense view of this question. May the other Deans and Chapters of the other Cathedrals soon follow such excellent examples. Swiss papers of late dates have been received. In the sitting of the Diet, on the Bth instant, Berne, Argau, Basle country, and Soleure, paid to Lucerne be tween 500,000 f. and 600,000 f. for the ransom of the members of their free corps, taken prisoners. These sums were applied in indemnifying the citizens of Lu cerne for the losies they had sustained from the expedi tion. Lucerne then demanded indemnification for the expenses of the war. This demand was supported by the four small Catholic cantons who would each be bene fited by it, and they further demanded that the expenses should be borne by the offending parties ; this latter demand was resisted by the Radical Cantons, and it was ultimately arranged that the indemnity should be limited] to 130,000 francs, that Lucerne should, before receiving it, prove that so much at least had been ex pended, and that it should be paid out of the Federal treasury. A letter from Soleure states that M. LOETZC ma, a gunmaker of that town, has invented a new musket of such power that, although no larger nor heavier than an ordinary musket, and requiring no greater charge, will carry a ball through an oak plank four inches thick, at the distance of 500 feet. Another ball, fired at a dis tance of 2,000 feet, pierced a board two inches thick, struck a rock behind it, and rebounded a considerable distance. M. LOETZCHLI keeps his invention a secret, and affirms that he is able to make guns of the same size having a much greater range. Madrid papers to the 6th have arrived. The publi cation of the pontifical rescripts, nominating bishops to the vacant sees in Spain, is the subject of severe animad version in most of them. They blame the Cabinet ex ceedingly for authorising this publication, which the Tiempo deeply deplores as a concession to the exactions or Rome. According to the Esprctador, General ALCALA has been sent to Segovia, Brigadier MONTERO to Guada laxara. Commandant SARMIENTO to Alcarzas de San Juan, and Captain SARABIA to Almaden. El Herald°, the Ministerial organ, states that a number of the inhabitants of Malaga, known to entertain revo lutionary opinions, have been arrested, and that arms and ammunition have been found in their houses. The same journal confirms the statement that M. Co- RAM and M. CALvo, the 'editors of the Clamor Publico, had been released from their imprisonment in the Fort St. Catherine at Cadiz. The brigade sent to Cuenca has received orders to march into Navarre, to be reviewed with the other troops by the Due DE Nsmouas at Pam peluna. It was reported in Madrid that as 200 convicts were being conducted from Carthagena to the Canal of Castile, they rose upon the troops escorting them, massacred them all, banged the commanding officer on a tree, and escaped in different direc►ions. MADRID BOURSE.—Three per Cents., for Cash, 31i ; for Account, 31.9-16. Five per Cents., for Account, 22. The Paris Papers of Tuesday have arrived. The Constitu4cnneland theftationaindulge in " songs of triumph" on the result of the election of a Deputy for the Haute Soane. M. THIERRY, the personal friend of M. GUIZOT, was the Ministerial candidate, and he polled only 106 votes, while his_ opponent, the Duc DE Muß:suEn, polled 134. AU the papers indulge in long comments on the speech of Queen VICTORIA at the close of the session of Par lialnent. These comments are, if possible, even more uninteresting than the speech itself. On the subject of the suppression of the Jesuits the Constitutionilel has the following : _ " Although since the arrival of the orders from Rome the members of the Society of Jesuits residing in France are be coming dispersed, the houses which they inhabited are not to be sold, because the fee-simple belongs to laics who do not form part of this celebrated society. The late holders of these houses were on the point of coming to some understanding with other orders recognised in France, but they could not arrive at any definitive conclusion, as they wanted simply to let, and not to sell, their interest in them. These circum stances prove that the members of the Society of Jesus, and their adherents, regard their present position as provisional, and hope for better days." A letter from Calais, dated the 10th, states that, in consequence of a telegraphic dispatch received the day before, a-courier had set out immediately for Ramsgate, from whence it was expected the Queen of ENGLAND would embark for Antwerp, and that it was conjectured he was the bearer of a letter from King Louis PHI LIPPE to Queen VICTORIA. A Toulon journal says " It is reported that General DELAIWE, who at the date of the last news was waiting for the return of M. LEON ROCHE from Paris, is again to repair to Tangiers, to enter on other negotiations. For some time ABD•EL-KADER has not been spoken of. It is evident that the authorities themselves are ignorer t of the direction which the chief has taken in quitting the Tell, where he appears to have remained upwards of a month. The columns of the Oran division are still in the field. They cross the country in all directions, and maintain in their duty the tribes which might be inclined to again take up arms for the Emir. Some persons affirm that ABD-EL-KADER bas regained the Moorish territory, whilst others affirm that he has gone towards Algeria, to place himself at the head of the Kabyles. The illoniteur Algerien of the sth gives (Pt. - tiled ac counts of the operations of the army of Marshal Be- GEAUD against the Arabs. It says that several Arab tribes have come into the French camp and made their submission. On Saturday morning several commissaries of the police of Paris and the banlieue, attended by offieers, made another search at the houses of the Mires des Compagnons Charpentiers at La Villette and Mont rouge. They interrogated many of the journeymen car penters who still hold out, and six of them, on whom were found convicting papers, were 'arrested and con ducted to the Prefecture. The Bourse was again animated on Tuesday. For the first time the shares of the Orleans and Bordeaux Railroad Company were sold on the Parquet by the official brokers. An immense rise in those securities immediately took place. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Tuesday at 84f. 55c. ; the Fire per Cents. at 1221. 15c. ; Orleans Railroad Shares 1,287 f. 50c. ; Rouen, 1,060 f. ; Vierzon, 785 f. ; llavre, 900 f. ; Avignon, 1,0671. 50c. ; Basle, 282 f. 50c ; Spanish Actives, 36 1 4 ; Spanish Three per Cents, 38 1 % ; ditto Passives, 7.

While I now write there is such a disturbance as has seldom been witnessed. Mr. Hudson's party approached the hustings for the purpose of dividing Colonel Thompson's forces, and of interrupting the Colonel's proposer, while addressing the multitude. The splendid banner they car ried was thrown to the ground in a moment, and in a short space of time torn to ribbands, the poles were broken, and laid over the shoulders of the bearers of them. Mr. Hudson's party, the first thing at the hustings to-day, com menced the battle of the arm, and they have surely been worsted. One or two of Hudson's bullies have been taken into custody. The crowd assembled before the hustings is numerous. From the Bridge Hotel down to the George (the space Cf nearly a quarter of a mile) is one dense mass. Cotton balls are now flying about in the crowd. The cotton balls are emblematical of an affair of honour that took place bet Ween two distinguished gentlemen on Whit bourne Sands. Joshua Wilson, Esq., proposed Colonel Thompson, and John Hills, Esq., seconded the nomination. So strong is popular feeling in favour of the Colonel, that by no possible means can Mr. Hudson's hired friends (and he has a good number of them) maintain their place in front of the hustings. J. WRIGHT, Esq., is now addressing the people, but not one word, I am sure, can be heard at three paces distance. Richard Spoor, Esq., now attempts the same impossi bility. I firmly believe popular feeling has never been so strongly evinced in favour of any man living as it has been in favour of Colonel Thompson at this election. Colonel THOMPSON now rose, and said : " Electors,—You have used the popular candidate very ill ; but it is no fault of mine. He might' have waited a little longer, and seen how popular feeling was. There has been a thousand pounds offered to one of my leading committee-men to let us be in a minority for the first two hours—not by the Tories, but by railway speculators. Is this not for the purpose of robbing the purchasers of railway shares ?" The Colonel spoke only a few minutes, and was attentively listened to. Mr. HUDSON attempted to speak, but not a word could be heard. The show of hands has been taken, and is in the propor tion of a hundred to one in favour of the Colonel. More than a hundred hands were not held up for Hudson, while many thousands were held up for the Colonel. OPENING OF THE CATHEDRALS TO TETE PUBLIC. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Bryanstone- square, August 11, 1845. consider the opening of the Abbey at West minster to the public free for some hours daily an object of importance, and lam anxious to give publicity to the following letter from the Very Rev. the Dean of Dur ham, which may satisfy the Deans and Chapters of other Cathedrals that they may follow the example set by the dignitaries of that diocese, with safety to the monuments in their Cathedrals, and with great advantage to the people of this country, who, by their exemplary con duct on all occasions where they have been admitted to public buildings, have proved themselves worthy of being trusted. During the trials that have.lteen - going on for fourteen or fifteen years, no instance has occur red in any museum or public collection, where the people have acted improperly ; on the contrary, their conduct has invariably been exemplary and deserving of praise and of increased confidence.: Your obedient servant, (Signed) JOSEPH HUME. N.B.—The Dean and Chapter of Norwich have also admitted the public free to the Cathedral for some hours daily. • " - l'he Dean of Durham presents his compliments to Mr. Hume, and begs to inform him that the cathedral of Durham has been open to the public for several hours a day for the last four years, without payment being re quired from any one ; and the Dean is happy to add, that not one instance of misconduct on the part of any one of the numerous visitors has come to his knowledge. " The Dean is led to give Mr. Hume this information by observing that, in the late debates on the subject, Sir Robert Peel expressed a hope that the example of West minster, which is not yet set,- would be followed by other cathedrals. " Deanery, Durham, Aug. 7, 1845." COURT CIRCULA k. Their Royal Highnesses the. Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred, accompanied by tha Dowager Lady Lyt telton, were taken in a carriage and four on Monday afternoon to Wooton. Their Royal Highnesses the Princess Royal and the Princess Alice, rode out on ponies. The Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, were taken on the beach, on Tuesday morning ; and in the afternoon the royal family rode on ponies in the pleasure grounds of Osborne House, Isle of Wight.. . Yesterday was the birthday of her Majesty the Queen Dowager. Several of the members of her Majesty's household paid their respects to her Majesty at Bushy House, Bushy Park. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge left town yesterday afternoon, on a visit to her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester, at her residence at Richmond. Sir John Rennie had an interview with the Earl of Dalhousie yesterday, at the office of the Board of Trade. THE QUEEN'S VISIT to GERMANY. The Lightning steam-vessel, Mr. Petly, Master Commander, returned to Woolwich on Tuesday afternoon, from Antwerp, and brought over the two pilots who navigated the royal Victoria and Albert steam-yacht to the latter port. The royal yacht, with her Majesty on board, anchored in the Lower Hope on Saturday night, a n d at an e a rly h our on S un d ay morning raised anchor and proceeded to sea, making an excel lent passage, being only four hours in crossing from the Fore land to Ostend, or fourteen hours until the royal yacht an chored at Antwerp. The weather at sea on Sunday was very favourable, and her Majesty and Prince Albert walked on the deck of the royal Victoria and Albert steam-yacht during a great part of the passage. The royal yacht was past Fliphing, on her way to Antwerp, before there was any appearance of rain. Her Majesty and Prince Albert did not either of them experience any sea-sickness, but evidently enjoyed the voyage. The vessel anchored at Antwerp at twenty minutes before six o'clock on Sunday evening ; but, as was anticipated, her Ma jesty remained on board all that night and landed on Monday morning at half-past six o'clock. Previously to the ret urn . of the two pilots, it was arranged that Mr. Stuart and air. Emmerson should hold thi mseives in readiness to proceed to Antwerp to pilot the royal yacht from that port direct to the Isle of Wight, it being her Majesty's intention to land at the island and sojourn at Osborne House for some time after re turning from Germany. It is also intended that the ex ce ll ent arrangement of only :ai li n g by daylight should be adopt e d on the return of her Majesty in the royal yacht, and the Queen will leave Antwerp in the forenoon, and anchor off Flushing for the night, and then proceed next morning for the Isle of Wight. THE WEATHER AND THE HARVEST.---We rejoice to learn, that during the last few days the most favour able weather has prevailed throughout the Western Counties. In Devonshire, Somersetshire, and the Western Counties generally, the harvest has not only commenced, but in many cases the crops have been safely housed. The harvest of wheat is in general abundant, and it has as yet received no damage from the weather. A week of fa-ir weather would secure the harvest throughout the West of England. SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN HORNSET-WOOD.—Yester day morning the following accident took place in Hernsey wood to a young man named John Baldock :—He proceeded at an early hour into the wood for the purpose of shooting some birds with an old double-barrelled gun. He had killed several, and was in the act of firing off the gun for the sixth time, when it suddenly burst, and shattered the right side of hip head, and caused a dreadful wound en the right hand. He was taken to a surgeon, who dressed the wounds, and ordered his removal to Guy's Hospital, where he new lies in a very exhausted state. SHERIFFS' COURT.--(T HIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL. ) COLLINS V. REARDON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, who i; a livery stable-keeper, to recover the small sum•of 21. ss. for stabling of the defendant's horse. The defendant pleaded the general izsue, but did not appear to support the plea. A witness was called, who proved that the horse had been put up for lb nights, and it was agreed that the charge should be 3s. a night.- A verdict was given for the amount claimed. 111ILBOURNE V. COLE. This was an action to recover the sum of 5/. 18s. 6J. for professional services as an attorney. The plaintiff stated his own case. The defendant was in 1843 a tenant of a Mr. Stallwood, of Calthorpe-street, and the house in which he lived was burnt down. When the de fendant took the house he deposited as a security for the fix tures the sum of 10/., which was to be returned on his leaving the house. He was insured to the amount of 300/., and Sir. Stallwood attached that sum in the hands of the insurance com pany, on the ground that some rent was due. This he ob tained, and refused to allow the 10/. Plaintiff was retained to commence the action, and issued the writ, and took other pro ceedings. Counsel's opinion was taken, and defendant declined to proceed. ilenry Milbourne, son of ihe plaintiff, was called to prove the work done. He was cross-examined by Mr. Thomas as to whe ther the plaintiff's son George was not partner ; the witness declared he could not say, and would not tell where he was to be found. Mr. THOMAS submitted that the plaintiff must be nonsuited for the draft of the bill was signed, " this is our bill for self and partner, G. W. Milbourne." The Learned UNDER-SHERIFF said it was a question of fact for the jury whether the father and son were partners, if so, the action was not properly brought ; the point should be reserved if that fact was not in favour of defendant. Mr. THOMAS said he should prove that George Milbourne un dertook the case as "no care no pay," for defendant told him that he had been to his solicitor, and did not think it 1 kely to get the 101. back ; but George Milbourne said he would take 31. out of the 101. if he got it. The Learned Counsel said that the action was against law and common sense, but even supposing an action to be good, an attorney having once taken proceedings was bound to go on, and not abandon them merely because the client would not advance money on account. Charles Coglan, of Bentinck-street, Soho, was called, and deposed that he went with defendant to Milbourne. Saw George Milbourne. Cole said, " I have come to consult about some rent due from my former landlord, as I was burnt out." Milbourne said there were good grounds for action ; he had heard a good deal about Mr. Stallwood, and should like to have a " stanch at him." Cole said he had lost money enough, and be would not throw sood money after bad, but if he (Mr. Milbourne) thought at was a case he was cer tain of winning, he might take it on his own responsibility, he might go on. He said, he ought to have some thing for himself, and defendant said, " I shall be sati•fied if you give me 71. out of the 101. Milbourn said, "6 Very well, it shall be so." He then proceeded to draw up the agreement or instructions. The last part was a retainer. Cole objected to sign it as it said, "I request your interference in my behalf." Milbourne said it was merely a matter of form to show to any solicitor that he was retained. ( The document was put in ; it was at tested by Coglan, and the witness Henry Milbourne had sworn he saw it executed, and signed it at the time.) Henry Coglan was not present. He would solemnly swear that he was not. Considered that Milbourne was acting for himself. Cross-examined (b) plaintiff)—Would swear he did not see either Henry or 'plaintiff that day. Had quite a distinct re collection. Could not swear they were not in " a very little room" adjoining. They were not in and out of the room, at any part of the time nor did he hear them talking. The plaintiff addressed the jury, and contended that George Milbourne only acted as clerk to him. He denied the evidence of the last witness, and said that it was highly improbable that an attorney would proceeed for a stranger without money advanced. The UNDER-SHERIFF 00 the jury)—ls it any use my sum ming up ? Jury—No. UNDER,SHERIFF—What is your verdict ? Foreman—For the defendant. The Court rose at twelve o'clock. BOW-STREET.--(THIS DAY.) Peter Matlewitt was charged before Mr. Twyford with dis orderly conduct in the Cock and Magpie public-house. Charles Allen, the lamdlcrti of the Cock and Magpie, stated that the prisoner, who was until then unknown to him, slept at his house last night. This morning, shortly after eight o'clock, he left his bed-room, and sat down on the stairs in his ,shirt, much to the annoyance of complainant and of the female members of his househ.Art. Complainant endeavoured to per suade him to go back to his room, but finding that he would not be persuaded, and supposing him to be insane, he sent for a-policeman and gave the prisoner in charge. The policeman spoke to finding the prisoner sitting on the stairs, as described by the complainant, and gave it his opinion that he was insane. The prisoner, who did not appear to understand the evidence, said, in a very incoherent manner, that he had been turned out of the room by the complainant, who refused to give him his clothes. He contradited both witnesses as to time, and said that he had been a servant of the complainant. In answer to a question from Mr. TWYFORD, the complainant said that the prisoner had never been employed by him. Mr. TWYFOStO said that the prisoner was evidently insane, and desired the policeman to take him to the Strand Union Workhouse, where he would be taken care of until his friends were discovered.—The prisoner was then removed. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) WZll' zam Brown, an intelligent-looking boy, between eight and nine years of age, with his mother, Susannah Brown, were charged, the first on suspicion of robbing to a very con siderable extent Mrs. Stead, a lady of fortune residing at No. 55, Devonshire -street, Portland-place, in whose service he had been for the last three months living as page, and the latter with receiving a portion of the property, well knowing it to have been stolen. It appeared that from time to time property of various kinds —sheets, pillow-cases, a silver pencil-case, riding-whip, k;.— had been missed, and yesterday afternoon the discovery being made that the boy prisoner had sold the pencil- case to a lad in the neighbourhood for a penny, he was given into custody. Police•constable No. 50 of the E division afterwards proceeded to the lodgings of the mother, at No. 27, Jeffs-place, Portman market, and obtained from her duplicates of a part of the stolen property, which she admitted having pledged, and that it had beep brought to her by her son. She had also in her posses sion 144 pawnbrokers' duplicates rel a ti ng t o h ouse h o ld p ro p er ty, such is bed linen, silver spoons, pictures, &c. The female prisoner said that the property was all her own. The prosecutrix said she knew that the prisoner had been in better circumstances, and probably some of the property might belong to her, but she also thought some of it had been taken from her house. She had ascertained that the woman was struggling hard to support her having been deserted by her husband, who was now in a good situation as butler, and perhaps her distressed condition might have induced her to do what she had. Her (yhe prosecutrix's) object was not to punish but to save the boy. At her humane intercession the mother was allowed to go at large for the present, and the boy was remanded until Saturday next, to give time for the examination of the property at the different pawnbrokers.

HUGHES'S MAMMOTH exactTs.—Yesterday Graves end presented a very gay appearance, as the townspeople, dressed in their holiday costume, lined the principal streets and windows, for the purpose of witnessing the entree of Hughes's Mammoth Equestrian establishment into that town. The master of the menage, Mr. Wild, displayed great skill in driving fourteen spirited horses, attached to the band's elegant carriage. He went through narrow streets and turned short corners in a masterly manner. But perhaps the most extra ordinary portion of the public show was a magnificent•eastern state carriage, which was drawn by two elephant!, splendidly decorated?with crimson velvet trappings, fringed with gold lace. After the long procession of carriages had passed, the stud of fine horses followed, ridden by the male and female artistes belonging to the establishment. There were two performances at Gravesend yesterday, in an immense tent, the interior ac commodations of which were excellent, and the entertainments were of a very superior kind, and would certainly do credit to Astley's unrivalled house.

The fine weather has rather tended to check the eagerness to effect sales. 'the extension of communication in Canada by railway If a subject of paramount importance. To British capital to a very considerable extent will our Colonies be indebted for such facilities. We have already observed that two row influential Companies have been established for the purpes ° of forming railways in Canada. We refer our readers to 1 111 advertisement which appears in another column of The S'f, and we cannot do better than quote from Simmonds' Coloor Magazine the following remarks, which bear upon the owe ject of a more rapid means of communication in the Colony' They are as follows : " The head of the Deep river is about 150 miles from 131: town. and the remaining distance on the common routo n y; Lake Huron by the Little and French rivers, is probably 1 7 u °- 180 miles. The distance would, however, be c shortened by adopting a line of road from the Deep r iver t 2 the south part of Lake Nipissing, near the head of the Frene? river, which I conceive would be found the most advisable_ plan of communication in the outset. On this route tlo, whole distance from Bytown to the Georgian bay would OP then exceed 300 miles, the head of the Deep river being nearly about half-way. " From what is stated above the route mm BYtown t° siderab l y Lake Huron may naturally be divided into many sections; the first being the settled part along the Ottawa as far as?, Deep river; and the second, from thence to the Georgt o Bay, on whatever line may be adopted. I intended to lia' s alluded more fully to the nature of the first section of th route (on the Ottawa) and to the improvement 1 11 °, 11 urgently required there; but, observing that a volumil ls "' report from the Board of Works is forthcoming, I shall dr°e that part of the subject until we see what conso lation s Board has in store for the lost children of the Ottawa vi_ . ; The second section of the route, across the country town s the Georgian Bay, will probably be considered beyond t scope of the present labours of the Board ; but I think the ale strong measures of improvement in that direction, and , & leisure permits, I may send you a few suggestions on tllso head, with, perhaps, some hints on a kindred subject -41 2, survey and disposal Of the new lands, where, as I conee il a improvement is no less needful than in regard to mews intercourse. It is not hard to perceive that our land sye t T, as it works on the Ottawa, is a great settler of the surveyed lands as well as the lumber trade."
