LAW INTELLIGENCE. ROLL'S COURT, Nov. 8. _ . This being the first day of term Lord Langdale sat at a little after one o'clock. Mr. Sergeant Shee, upon having a patent of precedency, and Mr. Montagu Chambers, upon being appointed Queen's Cousel, took their seats within the bar. COOPER V. BATTERSBY. Mr. Trust moved for an injunction to restrain the de- fendant, James Battersby, from selling, disposing, parting with, changing, or transferring certain shares, now standing in his name, in the " Birmingham and Liverpool Grand Junc tion Canal libmpanr." In June, 1844, the plaintiff, Henry Cooper, purchased fifteen shares, at 121. 15s. per share, and it was agreed, on the sth of July, 1844, that these shares should be transferred into the name of the defendant for re sale. and that the profits on them should be divided, two thirds for the defbndant and one-third for the plaintiff. Since this transfer a new allotment had been made among the pro prietors, and seventy-five new shares were allotted in respect of fifteen shares, subject to the same trusts. These new shares were now greatly increased in value, but the defendant bad.formed a scheme to exclude the plaintiff from the profit, and had attempted to make a sale at a fictitious price. He returned no answer to the plaintiff's letters of inquiry, but said he had sold the shares for the price he gave for them. The plaintiff had discovered that the defendant had sold five of the shares at 381. a share, and that the remaining ten shares, continuing in the name of the defendant, had become of increased value. The plaintiff had, in consequence, ob tained in October last a distringss to prevent the shares being parted with, but the defendant had since given notice of his intention to transfer them.—lnjunction granted. COURT' OF QUEEN'S BENCH, Nov, 3 . Lord Denman (Lord Chief Justice), Mr. Justice Williams, Justice Coleridge, and Judge Wightman, entered this Court at twenty minutes to two o'clock, and immediately after taking their seats on the bench, a Learned Counsel applied to have a conditional order made absolute for the enforcement of a claim for costs in an action tried at Stafford, in which a person named Blunley was plaintiff and Stafford defendant. Their Lordships said they would take time to consider the grcunds of the application. SMITH V. WITH. The counsel in this case stated that it was an action of as sumsit which had been tried at York. He applied to the Court to set aside the verdict then had, on the grounds of mis direction by the Learned Judge who tried the case. The counsel who made the application said he had not a note of the charge of the Judge who tried the case, but stated the point from memory, upon which he. contended that there was a misdirection.—Application postponed. _ DOE V. SYDENHANI. This case was tried in Devonshire, when a verdict was had for the defendant, with liberty to apply for a nonsuit on certain points, one of which was non-compliance with a co venant in a lease, which was to the effect that " suit and service" was to be done at the Manor Court of Moorstow. Rule nisi to be granted, in the event of a nonsuit being re fused after the Court shall have considered the case. NEW TRIAL PAPER. BENNET V. DUNCOMBE. This ease was one involving a question of a technical law point, arising out of one as to the right of a mortgager as against a landlord, to recover rent from a tenant. The ar gument occupied a considerable portion of time, but the case itself was not of the least public interest, nor were any of the other cases heard up to the rising of the Court, being, for the most part, trials arisEng out of breaches of contracts of various sorts between private parties. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, Nov. 3. (Sittings in Banco.) The Judges of this Court, after breakfasting with the Lord Chancellor, came down in procession to Westminster Hall, and took their seats cn the bench about half-past one o'clock. VALIANCE G. THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK. Mr. Sergeant C. JONES moved for a rule to show cause why there should not be a new trial in this case, or why the judg ment should not be arrested. The action which was triedbefore Lord Chief Justice Tindal, at the last Surrey Assizes, was brought to recover damages for a libel upon the character of the plaintiff, published in the shape of a printed account of a speech delivered by the Duke of Brunswick to a jury at the Sheriff's Court in Middlesex, in a cause of "The Duke of Brunswick v. Milner." To make the proceedings intelligible to the readers of this journal, it must be premised that on the 17th of September, 1842, a paragraph appeared in the Lan caster Guardian, a paper published at Preston, falsely im puting to the Duke of Brunswick that he had been taken into custody, by mistake, as a member of the swell mob. An action ter libel was brought by the Duke against Mr. Milner, the registered proprietor of the Lancaster Guardian, and the defendant allowed judgment in that action to go against him by default. Upon a writ of inquiry, which was executed before the Under-Sheriff of Middlesex on the sth of June last, the Duke of Brunswick conducted his own case, and read, as his address to the jury, a printed copy of a speech, which was afterwards proved to have been put into type from manuscript by direction of the Duke's valet, Med hurst...ln this address, which was read with so much rapidity that no one then in Court could take down two consecutive sentences, the Duke of Brunswick charged Mr. Valiance, who had been empl , yed as his attcrney, with delaying the pro gress of the suits which he had desired him to institute, in consequence of his friendship for Milner, the defendant. A copy of this :speech, a few days after the conclusion of the inquiry before the Under-Sheriff, found its way into the hands of a person who was present at the trial, and Mr. Val lance thereupon brought the present action against the Duke, and obtained 200/. damages. The Learned Sergeant now con tended that the verdict ought to be set aside on three dis tinct grounds—first, on account of the improper reception of evidence by the Learned Chief Justice; secondly, for mis direction ; and thirdly, because the damages were excessive. He argued also that the judgment ought to be arrested, upon the ground that two out of the three counts in the declara tion did not disclose any libellous matter affecting the cha racter of the plaintiff. The COURT, after a little deliberation, said it might be well to consider how far the evidence given by Mr. Pearson at the trial relating to the conduct and character of the plain tiff was admissible; and therefore, upon the first ground moved, a rule nisi for a new trial might be granted. They saw, however, no reason for thinking that there was any misdirection in leaving the evidence of publication to the jury, and there was certainly no ground for saying that the damages were excessive. Neither did it appear to them that the judgment ought to be arrested, and, therefore, upon all the points urged but the first, the rule must be refused. BUILST V. BOULTON. Mr. Sergeant RILES moved, by leave of the Learned Judge who tried the cause, Mr. Justice Erle, for a rule to show cause why the damages given by the jury in this case, amounting to 3411. 12s. Bd., should not be reduced to the sum of 301., or the sum of 1071. The action, which was tried at the last Guildhall sittings, was brought for the recovery of a sum of 130/., with interest, on a promissory note, also to recover wages for work done as a domestic servant. The defendant, besides other pleas, pleaded the Statute of Limitations to the whole declaration. At the trial it appeared that the plaintiff, who was very much advanced in life, had f o rmerly held the situation of a nurse at the Man chester Lunatic Asylum, and that about the year 1826 she left that situation, and went to live in the house of the defend ant. Upon her coming to reside in his house she lethim have the whole of her savings, amounting to 1301., for which he gave her the promissory note in question. She remained in his family seventeen years, and the capacity in which she lived there formed a great subject cf condition at the trial, the case for the plaintiff being that she was a servant during that period, while the defendant maintained that she was boarded as a friend of the family, from whom a little domestic assist ance was occasionally received in return. The jury gave as damages,-234l 12s. Bd. for the promissory note and inte rest ; 771. for wagesfor the first eleven years, at the rate of 71. per annum ; and 301. for the last six years, at the rate of 51. per annum. The Learned Sergeant now admitted that some money, 301., was due to the plaintiff; but he contended that there was no evidence to show that the sovereign paid by the defendant to the plaintiff upon her going away was paid on ace ouni of the promissory note or the wages, or that it was paid by way of part payment of a greater debt ; and he cited " Tippets v. Heane," 1 C. M. and R., 252; " Mills v. Fowkes," 5 Bing., N. C., 455 ; and " Waugh v. Cope," 6 M. and W., 824.—The Court granted the rule. ARCHES' COURT, Nov. 3. (Bef ire Sir H. JENNER FusT.) Prayers were read in the hall, and the Court opened with the customary formalities. LADY FRANKFORT V. LORD FRANKFORT. This question was called on for the purpose of taking the Court's opinion, on appeal, if the income-tax should be de ducted from the amount allotted as alimony to the wife. The Learned JUDGE, after hearing civilians on both sides, held that the tax should be deducted. TEE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROMOTED BY KITSON v. THE REV. ARTHUR LOFTUS. This case has been frequently before the Court and the material facts stated. It is a proceeding by articles against the Rev. Mr. Loftus, the rector of the parish of Fincham, Norfolk, for certain irregularities, by cohabiting with various of his servants and others. The party proceeded against is a married man, but living apart from his wife. The argu ments occupied the Court nearly all day. The Queen's Ad vocate and Dr. Addams appeared to support the charges made against the reverend defendant ; and Drs. Jenner and Philli more, jun., contra. The case is of such a nature, that it is fair the arguments should not be reported till judgment is given. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO W-STREET. RAILWAY Busr4rEss.—Mr. Simon Bendal4 11, Clement's lnn, solicitor, and Mr. Lenox Horne, 78, Wimpole-street, Cavendish-square, the registered projectors of the Important Economic Railway Traction by the Leviathan Air-engine, intended to be adopted by the Shrewsbury, Chester, and Crewe Junction Railway Company, fur completing a direct communication between Bristol and Liverpool, appeared upon a summons bef,re Mr. Hall, to answer a complaint preferred against them by Charles Barry Baldwin, Esq., M.P., for that they, on the 27th October, did make a certain false pretence, knowing the same to be false, in an advertisement printed and published in a circular, purporting to be a prospectus of the project in question, which said pretence was, that the said Charles Barry Baldwin, Esq., M.P., by the nameand descrip tion of C. B. Baldwin, Esq., M.P., of Parliament-street, was one of the Provisional Committee of the said Company; to which they pleaded Not Guilty. Mr. Bevin, a solicitor, appeared for the complainant, and Mr. Clarkson on the part of the defendants. Mr. Bevin observed, that as the charge was, in substance, the same against each of the defendants, he would commence the inquiry by examining the complainant. Mr. Clarkson said that as the question went to affect the character of each of the gentlemen he represented, he would offer no technical objections to anything that was about to be offered. The printed prospectus of the Company was put in and admitted. Mr. Baldwin being sworn, said that on the 23 October the prospectus produced was sent to him, at his house in Par liament-street, in which his name appeared as one of the Provisional Committee of - the Leviathan Air-engine, and he had never authorised any person to connect his name with any:project of the kind. He was first apprised of the cir cumstance by receiving the printed paper by the post. Mr }3evin submitted that he had offered quite sufficient proof to warrant the Court to adjudicate upn the case. Mr. Clarkson said it would be first necessary to show by evidence that the defendants had knowingly placed the com plainant's name upon the list without his authority. Mr. Bev in—That's for the defendants to show, and I ap prehend that sufficient has been proved by the complainant to induce the Court to inflict a fine of 101. upon each of the defendants, as the complainant has stated that HO authority had ever been granted on his part. Mr: Clarkson hoped that he would not be forced to enter into a:fruitless inquiry, for, admitting that there was sufficient proof that the name of the complainant was used without his knowledge, it should be borne in mind that there was none whatever to show that his name had begin inserted by either of the defendants, or by their authority, as would appear from the letter he held in his hand. Mr. Baldwin having looked over the letter, said that it con tained no authority from him. Mr. HALL considered it would be necessary on the part of the complainant to prove by whose direction the issue and getting up of the prospectus in question had been established. Mr. .110 V hi was of a different opinion, as the peraou Who had printed the document was present, and might le exa mined. Mr. Clarkson admitted that certain proof might be given by the printer, and although it might be shown that the pros pectus was actually sent from the chambers of the Company, there was nothing to fixthe charge upon the defendants. lie would, however, beg to ask the complainant a few questions. The complainant, in cross-examination, said be did not know how many provisional committees his name was upon. He should think not as many_ as thirty or forty, but there might be as many as ten. Ham ged to be allowed to say that he had always encouraged ays in Ireland, for which purpose he had given his name to about ten. There were also someforeign ones, about thirty in France, and in England ten altogether ; as far as his recollection would serve him, twelve at the utmost. He had seen a Dr. M'Kenzie but once, from whom he received a letter, on the 4th of October, from his residence, at 68, Mortimer-street, inviting him to have his name inserted on the list of the provisional committee, as he had been connected with various railway companies, to which he returned an answer. Mr. Clarkson—l se by the newspaper accounts, that when you applied for a summons you represented that you had repeatedly written to the defendants to remove your name without effect—is it true? Complainant—l did not say so, but I certainly wrote to others that I did not wish my name to appear, as I was about to go abroad. Mr. Clarkson said that it was a pity the inquiry had gone to such a length, as he had the honour to call the complain ant his friend, having known him from early life, and it was an unpleasant affair that he had not kept copies of the let ters which he had written to the defendants, which would show rashness on the part of a person who held a promi nent position in society, as every person allowing his name to be placed on the provisional committee list ought to know something about the concern before he permitted it. It ap peared that a Dr. M'Kenzie was deeply interested in the undertaking in question, and being called upon to pay his quota, he gave a cheque for the amount, which turned out to be of no value, which caused him to leave the company in a huff; and he apprehended that any person connected with such a man ought to pause before he was induced to take the present proceedings against the defendants. • This person wrote to the complainant, reminding him that having served on various railway committees with him, he had taken the liberty of submitting to him a railway project with which he was concerned, and which would obtain extensive Par liamentary influence, and hoping that the complainant would allow his name to be placed on the provisional committee. Another letter was sent to the defendant (Ron dall) on October 13, by the same person, inclosing the names of the committee, among whom was that of the complainant, although on the previous day he had written to the same ;purpose, while Mr. Bevin was instructed to say that such a thing had never been sanctioned, and he should like to know on what grounds a charge of fraud had been brought against the defendants under such extraordinary cir cumstances, unless for the maudlin propensity to cry down every project of the kind because some were found to be faulty. The letter from the complainant to M'Kenzie stated, that had he not been confined to his bed his letter of applica- lion should not have remained unanswered one hour, and ex pressed his regret that any circumstance should deprive him of the benefit of such an undertaking. Mr. Baldwin begged to make a remark in explanation. Mr. Clarkson said he had no objection, although he had already given his evidence. Mr. Baldwin said that the project which be understood he was to lend his name to was the Shrewsbury, Chester, and Crewe, instead of the Leviathan Air-engine. Mr. Clarkson considered that such a paltry subterfuge was no excuse, for the complainant must have known that M'Kenzie was no longer a member of the committee, and he repeated that there was no truth in his having written to the defendants to discontinue his name. Mr. HALL observed that the prospectus had been sent ten days previous, and before a conviction could take place under the Act, it must be proved that the defendants had acted falsely, an expression which was repeatedly used in it, and that such had:beenknowingly practised by . the defendants. Mr. Clarkson said that the complainant should have made inquiries into the character of the defendants, or pro duced M.Kenzie before he adopted such proceedings against them. Mr. HALL said that the question was not had M'Kenzie abused the confidence of the complainant, but did the de fendants make use of his name against his consent; and sup posing that M'Kenzie had acted ill, had the defendants, on that account, any grounds for holding up the name of ! the complainant to the public, who were, as a matter of course, anxious to obtain the names of persons of high respectabi lity ! It was very clear that cn the 4th M'Kenzie wrote to the complainant, and on the 12th received an answer, that. if not too late, he might then enter his name on the list. The question then was, did the complainant give his sane tion, and he thought that he did, for M'Kenzie handed in the paper containing other names with that of the com plainant to the defendants, which precluded them from the possibility of acting knowingly, and ought not to render them liable to the penalty. It would certainly have been more prudent to have bad a letter from the complainant him self, although there could be no proof of the handwriting, unless he had recourse to it for the purpose of obtaining a conviction. Mr. Clarkson applied for costs, which were refused, and Mr. HALL, in dismissing the case, said that he was satis fied the complainant was not sufficiently in possession of the case before he adopted the proceedings, and therefore could not be actuated by any wanton feelings towards the de fendants, whose characters he was happy to say remained untouched. THE- SUN ) LONDON, TUESDAY EVI`N'_!,NC4, NOVE-Millirt 4, 1845. WORSHIP-STREET. ABOMINABLE PROFLIGACY. —CharIes Carter, a hairdresser and perfumer, in Church-street, Hackney, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton for re-examination, and was com mitted for trial on a capital charge of committing a nameless crime. SOUTHWARK. Henry Killerby, an apprentice to Mr. Lewis, printer, of Finch-lane, in the City, who has been out on bail, charged on suspicion with sending threatening letters, some of them containing poison, to several of the inhabitants of St. George's, Southwark, appeared in discharge of his sureties to answer the alleged offence. It will be recollected that in the early part of last month an application was made at this Court by the householders of St. George's parish, Southwark, relative to several anonymous letters, some of them containing oxalic acid, having been received by some of the parishioners. The letter were couched in language of the most threatening nature. A communication of a similar tendency had been transmitted by the same writer to the parish clerk of St. George's Church, urging him to give utterance to certain slanderous expressions against Miss Spriggs during divine service, and threatening to set fire to the edifice if he did not comply. These infamous epistles naturally created a very considerable sensation in the parish, and eventually the prisoner Killerby, a youth, the son of a tradesman in White-street, near St. George's church, was taken into custody on suspicion of being the writer, When brought before Mr. Cottingham on that occasion, the pri soner's writing was compared with that of the anonymous letters, and although there was a similarity, still there was no person in attendance who could speak with confidence to the identity. In the course of the examination it trans pired that the accused was in the habit of attending in the belfry, and assisting in the ringing of the bells, and that while speaking to one of the men on the subject of the ano nymous letter received by the parish clerk, he (the prisoner) gave utterance to language which would lead to the supposi tion that he was well acquainted with the writer, and he re quested the party with whom he held the conversation not to mention the circumstance to any person. After the exami nation of numerous witnesses, the accused simply giving a denial to the charge, Mr. Cottingham remanded him for a month on bail. When the prisoner was placed at the bar yesterday, Mr. COITINGHA3f, addressing Sergeant Kendall, of the A division, asked whether any further discovery had been made ? The sergeant replied in the affirmitive, and said that the foreman of the prisoner's employer was in attendance, and that he was in a condition to distinguish his hand-writing with tolerable accuracy. Mr. COTTILNGHA3r then directed the annonymous letters ad• dressed to Miss Spriggs, Mr. Humble, and Mr. Bowling, to be handed to the witness, in order to ascertain if be could speak with any . degree of certainty as to the handwriting being that of the prisoner. _ _ _ The - witness, whose name is Edward John Tyrrell, and who is foreman to Mr. Lewis, of Finch-lane, printer, having carefully examined the letters placed in his hands, stated that to the best of his knowledge and belief they were in the prisoner's handwriting. Mr. COITINGRAM having informed the witness of the seri ous nature of the charge against the accused, then questioned him as to the peculiar characteristics by which he was en abled to speak with tolerable confidence as to the hand writing. The witness then pointed out the peculiar shape of the letters in the annonymous letters, which bore such a striking similarity to the copy of a song recently written out by the prisoner, that induced witness to believe they were all written by one and the same person. Mr. CcernxcitAm, addressing the prisoner's father, said that the case now assumed a more serious aspect than before against his son, and asked him if he had engaged any profes sional gentleman to appear on his behalf..... The father said he Was so convinced of his son's innocence, that he did not consider it necessary. The MAGISTRATE inquired if there was any similarity be tween the paper on which the anonymous letters were written and that to which the prisoner was supposed to have access at his employer's warehouse ? _ _ Thee - foreman replied in the affirmative, saying that pieces of paper, such as that on which the letters in question were written, were often lying about in the warehouse, to which the prisoner had constant access. COTrINGHAM inquired if any more threatening letters had been sent to the same parties in the parish ? Sergeant Kendall replied that since the prisoner was taken into custody no letters of the deseription had been transmitted to any of the persons who had formerly received so many of them. The sergeant added, that a circumstance had re cently come to his knowledge, namely, that for some time previously to the parishioners of St. George's, Southwark, receiving the letters inclosing poison, the prisoner was known to be in the habit of readir:g "Jack Sheppard," and books of a similar description, and it would be found on perusing the anonymous communications, that they contained language of a similar kind. The foreman in Mr. Lewis's employ verified the truth of the sergeant's statement, and said that he had taken " Jack Sheppard" from the prisoner in his master's warehouse. Mr. COTTINGHAM remarked that the foreman's evidence strengthened the suspicion against the prisoner, who was not bound to say anything in answer to the charge, but was at liberty to make any statement he pleased. The evidence against him, as it now stood, would render it necessary to send the case to a jury, but he should first remand the prisoner for a fortnight, and at the same time admit him to bail on finding two securities of 50/. each. The Magistrate advised the prisoner's father to employ some professional gentleman on behalf of his son at the next ex amination. WANDSWORTH. Yesterday, Mrs. White, a widow lady, residing at No. 30, Smith's Cottages, Lark-hall-lane, Clapham, solicited Mr. Clive's advice as to the means she should adopt to rid her self of the Reverend Mr. Forth and his family, who were occupying apartments in her house, and paying no rent. It will be remembered that the Reverend Nathaniel Forth made himself notorious some two or three years since by beingbrought to this Court charged with assaulting his land lord, who had only demanded his rent. Mrs. Smith said she applied at this Court in July last for advice, and afterwards served a notice upon her tenant, Mr. Forth. This he paid no attention to, but continuel promising to pay the applicant her rent; yet, up to this time, he had not done so, and although she had served notice on notice, she could not get him out of the house. Mr. CLIVE asked what amount of money was due? The applicant stated that the defendant rented the apartments at 4s. 6d. per week, and now owed 9/. ls. 6d. A wretchedly-clad woman here entered the Court, and re presented herself as Mrs. Forth. She said that her husband had every desire to pay his rent, but he had been disappointed in receiving some money. She could assure Mrs. White that she should be paid in a week. Mrs. White said she could place no reliance in her pro mises. She was a lone woman, indifferently off, and, in con sequence of Mr. Forth's owing her so much money, she also could not pay her rent. Mr. CLIVE, addressing Mrs. Forth, said it was evident she wo uld ultimately lave to leave the house, and she had better . - g - 0 it once, and give Mrs. White the opportunity of letting her apartments. Mrs. Forth—We wish to pay before we go. Mr. ,'LIVE—And the woman wants her rooms. The Ma gistrate then observed that the applicant had better give Mr. Furth another notice, and if that was of no avail she must proceed in the usual manner. Mrs. White thanked the Magistrate, and sail she would adopt his advice. EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE. HADI.II3H, Noc. I.—A deliberate and frightful case of suicide was committed in this town on Thursday last under very peculiar circumstances. The unfortunate individual, named John Jaynes, was proprietor of a boarding-school of the first repute, and until within this last week he was highly respected for learning and moral character. However, in the course of the last week, two of the pupils, sons of Mr. J. Growse, surgeon, made some representations to their parent, as induced that gentleman to prefer a charge against Jaynes of a horrible character, in consequence of which a warrant was issued for his apprehension. The officer took him into - custody on Wednesday, but he was allowed to remain at his own house until the charge should be investigated before the magistrates, the wretched man declaring that it was a con spiracy got up against him. Though closely watched, and deprived, as it was supposed of every offensive weapon, he by some means possessed himself of a pistol, with which he shot himself through the head, at an early hour on Thurs day morning. The ball had lodged in the head, and death was instantaneous. The distress of his bereaved wife, who believed him incapable of the horrible offence he was charged with, admits of no description. She is said to be an amiable and accomplished lady, and is most respectably connected in Gloucestershire, where Jaynes formerly resided. Information of the tragical occurrence was immediately forwarded to Mr. H. Wayman, the Coroner, before whom an inquest was yesterday held at the Swan Inn. William Palmer—l am one of the constables of this town. I know the deceased John Jaynes; he lived in Benton-street, where he kept an academy for young gentlemen. A war rant was delivered to me to execute against the deceased, who was charged with an indecent assault upon a young gen tleman, one of the pupils. I apprehended the deceased on Wednesday, the 29th, and at his earnest solicitation 1 agreed that he should remain at his own house, in my custody, until he went before the magistrates to meet the charge. He seemed very grateful for the indulgence. I sat with him in the parlour on Wednesday . night. Between one and two o'clock on Thursday morning he asked me to allow him to go to the privy, to which I agreed, but told him he must not go out of my reach. To that he made no objection. We crossed the yard, and the deceased entered the privy, leaving the door partially open. In returning to the house he said, "Itis a fine clear night, but very cold." I thought he spoke in a tremulous voice. There was some loose wood lying about the yard, to which the deceased called my attention. The next moment I heard the report of a pistol, and the de ceased dropped at the threshold of the door, his body striking me in the fall. I immediately gave the alarm. Mr. Rayn ham, a friend of the deceased, and a man named Brown, my assistant, came out of the house. The deceased was lying on the ground, and we perceived blood flowing from a wound in the right side of the head. I picked up a pistol, which was close to the body. He showed no signs of life. The ConoxEß—runderstand you to sliy that you took the deceased into custody upon a charge of indecently assaulting one of the pupils. Had you any conversation ivith him in reference to that charge? Witness—l told him with what he was charged, but I did not think it my duty to question him upon such a painful subject. He did not seem disposed to speak about it. I think he said that it was got up by some parties to ruin him. It appeared to distress him very much. The CoRoNER—Did you search his person to see if he had any means of self-destruction? Witness—Yes, Sir, three times. I found some money, a pencil, and a penknife in his pockets ; the knife I took away. The CoRoNER—Did he appear much alarmed when you told him what he was charged with? Witness—Yes, very much. He went into strong hysterics, and I searched his pockets while in that state. The CoaosEß—Did you suffer him to go out of your pre sence at all? Witness—Only in one instance. He wished to see some professional gentleman previous to his examina tion. On the Wednesday Mr. Seeley, managing clerk to Messrs. Offord and Robinson, called. As I considered the interview to be confidential I waited outside the room door. I think Mr. Seeley was with him half an hour. When I was called into the room, Mr. Seeley said, " I am told, Mr.Javnes, that you have a loaded pistol." The deceased replied, Yes, I have—what of that?" Upon which Mr. Seeley said, " Let me persuade you to give it up to Palmer—you ought to give it up at once." The deceased then said he had not got it. Mr. Seeley then went away. The CoRoNER—Did you question him at any time after about the pistol ? Witness—Yes. When he asked to be allowed to go to the water-closet, I then said he should not go unless he gave up the pistol. He said it was in his bed-room, and that he would give it to me. We went up-stairs. Mrs. Jaynes was in bed. Deceased went into the room, and I stood at the open door. Mrs. Jaynes said, " What are vou looking for, dear?" Deceased said, "For that pistol." Mrs. Jaynes said, " What can you want with a pistol ?" He replied, "I do not want it; I am going to give it to Palmer, who says he must hare it." Mrs. Jaynes then told him he would find it in a cupboard in another room. I went with him. He took a pistol off the shelf, and I seized his hand. I now produce that pistol; it was not loaded. We then came down, and pro ceeded into the yard, as I have already stated. The CORONER—Can you form any opinion where the de ceased got the pistol with which he shot himself? Witness—l cannot. He certainly could not have had it about him. My impression is that it was concealed in the privy. I have since found that there is a box there long enough to hold a pistol. Mr. John Growse, surgeon, was the next witness examined —I was called in to see the deceased soon after the fatal oc currence. The body was then lying on the kitchen floor. Life was wholly extinct. I found a wound on the right side of the head. The temple bone was fractured. The orifice was circular, and had evidently been made by a pistol-ball, which had taken a horizontal direction, and lodged in the head. I could trace the passage of the bullet with my finger quite into the head. Death must hare been instan taneous. _ _ The CORONER--I understand, Sir, that you are enabled to give the jury some further information relative to this cala mitous occurrence. Mr. Growse proceeded—The deceased came to this town about seven years ago, and opened a boarding-school. I un derstood from himself that he had previously resided at Gloucester. I thought him a man of considerable attainment; and of moral character. He got a great number of respectable pupils. I placed two of my own sons under his care ; they boarded at the school. In consequence of reports which had reached me, I sent for my eldest boy on Monday last, and, from the information given me by the lad, I thought it my duty to obtain a warrant against the deceased, upon which he was apprehended. There was no investigation at which the deceased was present, but same of the pupils were ex• amined by two magistrates, the Rev. Mr. Knox and Mr. Hughes. That was a preliminary proceeding. In con sequence of what I heard I called upon the deceased, accompanied by Mr. Rand and Mr. Claydon, to ask for an explanation. In the presence of these gentlemen I told the deceased that he was charged yith immoral treat ment of his pupils, three of whom I named. I particularised the charge as detailed by one of the boys. The deceased said, " I am not guilty to that extent.' I told him the parties were prepared to substantiate the statements, and asked him if I should call them. He then said, " Gentle men, do with me as you please. lam a ruined man. What. reparation can I make you?" We said, "It is insulting to , talk about reparation in a case of this nature." He then. asked what we proposed to do with him? We replied that we had not quite decided. I laid an information against him on Wednesday. Whilst in custody he wrote a letter b me denying the charge, and asserting that it originated in a conspiracy to ruin him. That letter was written, I ur, derstand, shortly before he went into the yard with the constable. Mr. James Raynham examined—l had been a pupil of the deceased for three years, and have since assisted as turb,r for about the same time. I never suspected the deceased of improper conduct towards the pupils until this charge was preferred. When Mr. Growse went away Mrs. Jaymes begged of me to look after her husband. I followed him into the town, and at our retut n home he took me into the Latin room, and said, " Ob, Raynham, I have been cruelly treated. I have two favours to beg of you. Do not see arty family robbed; do what you can for them, for I shall be out of this world in a few hours." He was greatly dejected. He then drew a pistol from his pocket, and threatened to shoot himself, but I prevented him. He became more calm, and went to bed. I sat up the whole of that night for fea r the deceased should injure himself. Ido not know where lbe put the pistol. Mr. H. Cocksedge, gunmaker, proved that the deceasod purchased the pistol at his shop on TuesdAy. He asked wit nes.s to load it with ball, as he wanted to tire at a mark in his= garden. There was at that time no report abroad of any charge against the deceased. The CORONER, in summing up the evidence, observed that the charge, whether true or false, had evidently preyed upon the deceased's mind, and that he had reasoned upon the con sequences. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Felo-de-se. MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. ANDOVER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Slit,—The rate-payers of this small, but, unfortunately, no torious borough, have nobly done their duty. In consequence of the treatment of Mr. Westlake, the medical officer to the union, who has been suspended by the board of guardians for having manfully exposed the malpractices carried on in the union poor-house, the electors of Andover determined no ex ertions on their part should be wanting to ensure his return as a member of the town council. The Tories stoutly opposed such a noble and praiseworthy resolution, and used every effort, both fair and otherwise, to frustrate this much desired object, but ineffectually, as the following state of the poll will exemplify : LIBERALS. TORIES. F. C. Westlake, Esq., Mr. Thomas Lamp 129 surgeon to the union 118 Mr. T. Phillips 125 Mr. George Young ... 101 Mr. John Poore Mr. James 8aker...... 87 Mr. T. P. Clarke 4l Mr. William Gilbert... 104 41f It will now clearly be seen that the town of Andove r has not deserved the vile reproach which the published pro • ceedings of the late inquiry would seem to have fixed upot them. With the management of the union they have mu control, being represented by five guardians only (amd these, to their credit, always advocating the just Fiff, i ta of the poor), whilst they are opposed almost unifor,oh, by about twenty-six guardians of the rural parishes, who, in confer mity to the Chandos clause, vote as their % lea d may dictate.

Yesterday a Court was held for the purpose of discussing the subject of the introduction of railways into Farringdon- I street. It was numerously attended, and was fof several I hours a scene of great excitement. CITY IMPROVEMENTS. Mr. R. L. JONES. the Chairman of the improvement Com mittee, brought up a report of the Commit teo appointed to consider the best means of carrying into effect the resoluti of the Court for appropriating the sum of 20,0001. annually for public purposes, which stated that having taken the re ference into their consideration,and had before them various plans for the improvement of he City of Loudon, they pro ceeded to consider the subject, and finding it was necessary that the notices for an application to Parliament, to be passed in the next session, must be given in the month of November next, they thought it desirable that some improvement should be carried into effect in the next year, and they had selected two plans which they considered would be great improvements, and beneficial to the inhabitants of the city of London—one for forming a street from the south end of Water-lane, now called Blackfriars-street, and the other in the Old Bailey, from the south side of the New Inn to the south side of Prujean-square ; and they recommended that they should be empowered to give the necessary notices of an application to Parliament for an Act to carry the same into effect. _ _ Mr. JONES observed that these two projects would operate most advantageously. The first would, by the opening to the transit of carriages, afford great relief to Ludgate-hill, and would be formed upon part of the site of the Fleet Prison. The second would, although of small dimensions, productive of much public convenience, as it was well kniwil the traffic from the wharfs in the neighbourhood of the gas-works seri ously interfered with the transit through Fleet-street and its vicinity. A long discussion took place upon the merits of the recom mendation of the report, some members arguing that there existed a more pressing necessity for widening narrow old streets than for making new ones, and others insistin4 that the large improvements suggested by the objectors ~ o uld cost an enormous sum of money, while the inipr.mement to which the report referred could be effected without any con siderable outlay, and would be the most judicious precursors of the extensive changes which must rapidly take place. The report was ultimately agreed to by a vast majority. RAILWAYS IN FARRINGDON-STREET. Mr. R. L. JONES said that, he had never upon any occa sion within his recollection brought up a report of greater importance to the city of London than that which he had to present to the Court upon the present occasion. The committee bad most strictly investigated the subject of the introduction of railways into Farringdon-strcat, as suggested by the petitions which had been presented at a former Court, and they came to the opinion that there was no part of the city so well adapted tbr a great terminus as Farringdoo street. The great breadth of the street, and the palpable ne cessity for the removal of the miserable and filthy habita • tions in the vicinity, including Field-lane, Saffron-hill, and the adjacent courts and alleys, in which di , 4ease was engen dered, independently of the advantages derivable in a great many ways from changing the face of the locality, were un deniable arguments in favour of the plan of favouring the reception of railways there.—(Hear, hear.) The following report was then read by the clerk of the court : " To the Right Hon. _ the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Com- mons, in Common Council assembled, " We whose names are hereunto subscribed, your commit tee appointed on the 9th day of October inst., to consider the best means of carrying into effect the resolution of this hon. Court of the 25th day of September last, for appropriating the sum of 20,0001. annually for public purposes and improve ments, to whom, on the 9th inst. it was referred, to examine the allegations in the petition of the directors of the Direct London and Manchester Railway Company for leave to purchase Farringdon-mark et for a great 'central terminus,', and also to examine the allegations on the petition of the Birmingham Railway Company for leave to purchase the north side of the site of the late Fleot Prison, with other premises, for the purpose of a city terminus, and to report our opinion thereon, do certify that we have proceeded in the due consideration of both references, and were attended by Mr. Dillon, the chairman, with Messrs. Deacon, Wells, and Shepperson, directors of the Direct London and Man chester Railway Company, accompanied by Mr. Rastrick, their engineer, when Mr. Dillon fully explained the views a: .d wishes of the petitioners, and Mr. Rastrick submitted plans and sections of the intended railway, and was heard at con siderable length in explanation of the same; and more parti cularly that part which affected this city, by which it ap peared that the Company proposed to take the entire side of Farringdon-market and all the adjoining housesand buildings extending from Harp-alley to Holborn-hill, north and south, and from Farringdon-street to Shoe-lane, east and west, and to form a viaduct from Holborn-hill to Skinner-street. That we were attended :by Mr. Stephenson, the engineer, and Mr. Creed, Mr. Parker, and Mr. Mordigan, on behalf of the London and Birmingham Railway Company, when Mr. Stephenson was heard in support of their petition, and sub mitted a plan and section of the proposed line of railway, and particularly showing the portion of ground they were desirous of obtaining within this city, by which it appeared the said company contemplated purchasing an area of about five acres, situate between Skinner-street, the Old Bailey, and Farriogdon-street, including a portion of the site of the late Fleet Prison ; that their olject was to form two levels, the lower to be approached by a tunnel front Camden-t( we, so as not to interfere with any of the streets and houses, except those immediately connected with their proposed site, anal the upper level to be approached through Skinner-street and the Old Bailey, and any new street that might be formed in that neighbourhood. • " That we, your Committee, after carefully inspecting the several plans, and considering the statements of the respec tive parties, with all the circumstances connected with this important subject. are of opinion that it is desirable b ith for the prosperity and advantage of the citizens of London to have railway termini within this city, that the sites pro • posed to be purchased by both companies are desirable, as they interfere but in a small degree with the public streets within the city, and that the plans will afford great accom modation to the traffic passing east and west. "All which we submit to the judgment of this llon. Court. Dated this 23d day of October, 1843. " J. C. Prior, " J. Dixon, " T. Challis, " R. Taylor, " H. Burn, " B. Massey, " J. Hartley, " T. B. Simpson, " J. G. Cope, Mr. R. L. JONES moved that the report be agreed to and sent back to the Committee. to b's carried into effect. The motion having been seconded, Deputy BEDFORD propose, as an amendment, that the report be referred back, with instructions to the Committee to take into consideration the petition of the tenants of Farringdon market, and also to consider the propriety of confining the termirus to the north side of Holborn-hill. He cau tioned the Court against permitting such an outrage upon the population of the City as the terminus of the Blackwell Railway constituted, and expressed his decided opinion that very great disadvantages must arise from the intrusion of termini into Farringdon-street.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. DE JERSEY seconded the amendment. After a long discussion, two other amendments were proposed, negativing the report, but the report was ultimately agreed to, with Mr. Wire's amendment as a rider. " R. L. Jones, " J. Johnson, Ald., " W. Stevens, " W. Christie, " B. Bower, " D. W. Wire, " D. Cook, " J. Britten." FLANDERS MAIL. BRUSSELS, Ocr. 31.—Three hundred German emigrants are expected at Antwerp, who will come by the railway.

FOOT .RACE FOR FaTr POUNDS.—Yesterday the match betroen Patterson, of London, and Gimbert, of Bir mingham, came off at 80X111002% The race attracted a large number of the fancy, and in betting, Patterson was the f - vourite. These men were matched to decide their race a fortnight since, and they met accordingly, but a dispute arising in reference to the ground being roped and staked, the affair terminated on that occasion in a dispute, and at a subsequent meeting of the parties, an arrangement was made to settle the issue at the above place. The contested dis tance was 120 yards. Patterson took the lead at starting, which he maintained, Gimbert made an ineffectual struggle, and the contest was brought to a conclusion by Patterson running in the winner by a yard and a half. The London fancy came home with flying colours.

BRISTOL AND EXETER —The London correspondent of the Worcester Chronicle says, "I can state from good au thority, that Mr. Hudson has offered to lease the Bristol and Exeter line, at eight per cent." If so, the matter will be brought before the general meeting on Friday next. LONDON AND NOTTINGHAM.—The shares in this company were allotted yesterday. Mr. Charles Hutton Gregory, the engineer, in a letter addressed to the committee, slates that a careful examination of the country between Bedford and Nottingham has led to the adoption of a line affording fa vourable gradients. In the progress of the survey he has received much assistance from the landed proprietors, and he reports that he will be prepared in ample time for the Parlia menary deposits. CORK, BANDON, AND KINSALE.—A meeting of the inha bitants of Kinsale and its neighbourhood was held at the Court-house, on Friday last, when petitions to the Legisla ture were adopted in favour of the Cork, Bandon, and Kinsale Junction.

For these ,purposes additional capital will be raised, the amount to be borrowed by the Company on mortgage or bond, as autho tis:-d by the Act of incorporation. GRAVESEND AND ROCHESTER.— Early on Monduy morn ing, notwithstanding the ground had been left in care of the police, a party of labourers filled up the sawpit the Rey. Mr. Formby had made, and the Company took possession of the spot by placing a sentry-box and man there, since which the chief contention has been a doorway in the wall bound ing Mr. Formby's premises, which the railway company bricked .up; this work the rev. gentleman partly de molished, when the other party replaced the brickwork, and secured it by battening, and so it »mains at present. On Wednesday Mr. Hayward, on the part of Mr. Formby,. applied to the magistrates sitting at the Guik hall for sum monses against five of the railway labourers, on a charge of having grubbed the roots of the sycamore trees which had been previously cut down, and they are accordingly sum moned to appear on Wednesday next. On Saturday Mr. Hayward again appeared at the Guildhall, and made an application to the magistrates for the police force, in order to enable Mr. Formby to regain possession of the disputed ground. To this request the magistrates refused to accede, Captain Baker observing that it was a case which the ma gistrates ought not to be called upon to interfere in, Mr. Formby having his remedy in an application to the Court of Chancery for an injunction.. The mayor said he had endeavoured to ascertain whether an amicable arrange ment might not be effected between the parties, but had not succeeded, and he expressed his willingness again to make the attempt. Mr. Hayward said his client had all along ben anxious to avail himself of the intercession of other parties, in order that the matter might be amicably arranged.

That interest at the rate of four per cent. per annum be allowed on all calls paid on such shares after the Act or Acts authorising the fisrmation of the afore-aid bridge and railway to Kinross shall have pass.al, until open for traffic." SCOTTISH GRAND JUNCTION —A meeting of the Provi sional Committee was held at Glasgow on Thursday, the Marquis of Brea'lalbane in the chair, when it was reported that the Sc ,ttish Western Company had, at a general ineeti of their Shareholders, tatified the terms adjusted by the visional Committee of both Companies, by which it was agrk that the Grand Junction Company alone should proceed, and the Western should retire; that the Shareholders of the latter should be paid out with ss. premium, or have the option of taking an interest to the extent of one-half their shares in the Grand Junction; and that the whole expenses of the Western should be paid by the Junction, who would acquire right to their whole survey, notices, and papers. The report further bore, that by the ratification of this arrange ment, the Grand Junction Company would now go to Par liament as an unopposed line, having the consent of all the landowners and others interested. The report was unani mously approved of. The allocation committee reported that they had concluded their labours, but were unable to issue letters of allocation until the important arrangement with the other company was completed, and they would issue notices of the allocation as soon as the option of the Western shareholders was intimated. The meeting then proceeded to appoint a committee of management, with full power to fol low out the purposes of the undertaking, and to see the Par ' liamentary plans duly lodged in terms of the standing orders, and a petition for a Bill presented at the first meeting of Par liament. The chairman then briefly poin'ted out the impor tant objects of this Company, to afford a continued railway communication from England- and the south-east and west of Scotland to the West Highlands, and also to the North Highlands, embracing the routes of the principal traffi; in cattle, merchandise, and passengers ; and he called the attention of the provisional committee to a scheme brought forward since the f •rmation of this Company, for making a railway direct from Inverness to Fort William, along the line of the Cale donian Canal, with which he showed the Grand Junction could make a most convenient connexion near Fort William, whereby this line would secure the whole north and south direct traffic, besides benefiting Fort William and other places in the district to be traversed. GLASGOW, PATRICK, AND DUMBARTON.—The surveys are proceeding, and the Parliamentary preliminaries are in a state of forwardness. LANARK, STIRLING, AND CLACKSIANNAN.—The committee intimate that such progress has been wade with the eurvvys as to leave no doubt of submitting next session the most con . - plete system of direct railway communication between Glas• gow and Stirling, and Altos.

BALLINASLOE AND KILEENNY.—A correspondent of the Irish Railway Gazette states that a company is about being formed for the purpose of making a railway from Ballinasloe to Kilkenny, running in nearly a straight line through Par sonstown, Shinrone, Roscrea, Norris-in-Ossory, Rathdowney, Johnstown, Urlingford, Freshford, and forming unction between the port of Waterford, by means of the Waterford and Kilkenny Railway, and Galway and Sligo by the Great Western Extensions. "A preliminary survey has been made, by which it appears that the proposed railway will be twelve miles shorter than the line already before the public, with scarcely any cuttings, embankments, or difficulties of any kind. _ _ DARTMOUTH AND PLYMOUTH.—This line, it is said in the preliminary announcement, " will commence at Dart mouth,.and passing near or through Dittisham, C(.rnworthy, Stockefleming, Blacksawtory, Stapton, Stokenlum, Chilling ton, Frogmore, Cliart!ton, Dodbrook, ingbridge, Salcombe Avelon ' Giflbrd, Modbury, Yalmpton, and Plympton, will proceed to Piytilouth."

ORLEANS AND BoItDEAUX.-011 Tiier.day last the Nybol , of the diztance between Orleans and Touts, being 114 kilo metres, or 72 English miles, was run through by Messrs. Mackenzie end Brassey, and a party of guests whom they invited to be pi esent on this interesting occasion. About tifey neembled on Wednesday evening at seven, at the Or leans terminus at Paris, and were conveyed in three hours to Ott ans, where comfortable accommodation was provided for them to pass the night at the Hotel d'Orleaes. The next morning after breakfast the guests set out at eight o'clock on the experimental pip in eight earriagts. Amongst the per sons present were the Duke de Mouthy, the President ot the Bard of Directors ; Baron de Richemond, Viscount de Cussy, General Scheider, Messrs. Aikard and Ilu comb, M. Thoyat, engineer of the Pouts et Chaussees ; M. Jules Janiu, &c., besides a number of ladies. The whole distance to Tours was passed over in three hours and thirty-eight minutes. On the areival of the train in the latter town, M. Walvein, the mayor, was in attendance to receive the travellers, and invited them to a splendid dejeuner at the Hotel du Faisan. Mr Mackenzie occu pied the chair of honour, and was supported by the Duke de Mouchy on the right, and General Schieder on the left. After the repast, the former proposed Mr. Mackenzie's health in very eulogistic terms, to which a suitable reply was given by that gentleman. At half-past two the. train started from Tours on its return, and arrived at Orleans in three hours and ten minutes. At six o'clock the guests left Orleans for Paris, where they arrived at nine o'clock, delighted with their day's excursion. The works of art are stated by the gentlemen capable of judging of such matters, who went in the experi mental train, as admirably executed. Of the stock for the traction, six locomotives are already iu readiness ; others will be speedily delivered, and the remaining seven in the month ef Mee , . The whole of the permanent way is already down singly, and the other one will be very shortly completed. The line could be opened to the public in the course of three weeks, but the directors intend deferring the formal open ing until January 1, 1846. NEAPOLITAN LINES.—The company for these lines have just received the ratification of the concession, granted by the Government of the Two Cicilies. Not being able to im mediately undertake all the lines at the same time, it has determined to commence by the most productive one, that front Naples to the frontier of the States of the Church by Capua. Swlss LINE, Citun, Ocr 24.-- The Provisional Committee consists of the following noblemen and gentlemen :—Marquis Giustiniani, the chairman; L. B. Migoni, Recce, and Suns; Bart. Barodi (these parties are from Genoa), Count Seyssel Nigra anti Sono, Barbaroux and Company (ft om Twin) ; Herr Yen Rotta Vezoli from Milan, and Herr Giles front These gentlemen, who are of the most wealthy in the country, several of them having fortunes of nine millions or more, have already subscribed a sum of 16,40(X) francs for preparatory operations. In a pecuniary view, the under taking offers to the public a full guarantee of its stability, though the carrying of it out may be somewhat more difficult. Several engineers of talent and character have asserted that the restoration of the road though the pass of the Lukman, which is the lowest of all the passes in Tessin, Butlteu, or Tyre!, end is , nly 5,650 feet above the level of the sea, would be le,s difficult then even that &Toes Mont Cenis, through which the railway from Piedmont to Lyons is to pase. Front time immemorial roads have been in use across the Lukinan into I aly. It is seid to have received its name, None Lieu thanks, from the Lucumonians, the ancient inhabitants, who are said to have there held their religious feasts in honour of the sun. In 1374 John, third Abbot of Dissentis, founded a hospitium in honour ot the Virgin Mary at the top of the pass, 5,654 feet above the level of the sea; and fur or live miles to the north lies the Hospitium of St. Gentle. The following seems to be the directien of the line es at present determined upon Rorschach by Itheitieek, Allstaedten, and Ragaz to Char. To Char, and further on to llicheneau, theie are no difficulties of impor tance. The construction of tile line from Richeneau through the Upper Valley of the Rhine, or through the Bundner Oberland to the foot t..f the pass, will be more difficult. The pass ascends from Richeneau, E.N.E. to W.S.W., about 3,400 feet. The direction of the valley or pass is mostly straight, hunt any important curves. From Richeneau to Truns the vall-T is very narrow and rocky. At Danz, the first little town on the Rhine, it becomes wider. Front Truns the country becomes more open; and the valley wider, mail the lire nrrives at the beautiful plain of Dissentis. From Dis sentis the line runs in a south. west direction for about thirty miles to the Hospitium St. Maria, on Mont Luktnan. Where the line is to pi-, teed front here and to reach the valley of the lilegno is not yet known. From Olne, through the valleys . . 4 toe lilegno and Livin, there seem to be fe; e!.gineeriitg difficulties. The works could continence with tiv next spring, and the first rails could be laid down at the same time from Rorschach to Chur, and from Locartte to Olne. In ten years this gigantic work might be completed, and the railway commuoication between the liodeusee to Turin and Ci(nt , a be complete also. sPORTIN( INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.

MALT.--The statement in our last, made on the autho rity of Mr. W. Scott, the owner, that this horse had been sold to Mr. Ford, is without foundation. COLLISION ON THE MIDLANDS RAILWAY.—Another collision took place early on Friday morning last, close to the Methley junction, just below Normanton station, which, had it been a passenger train instead of a goods train, might have been attended with the most fearful consequences. From the particulars which we have been enabled to collect from the guard, and from other sources, it appears that a spe cial waggon train was coming from the directionof York, and thafanother luggage - train was coining in a contrary direction. The collision took place between four and five o'clock in the morniog, which was extremely foggy at the time. At this Period a Midland passenger train was also due; acid the man at the Methley juketion, where the Nlidlaud branches off to York, and whose duty it is to attend to the points, thinking that it was a passenger train coming, turned. the points in the wrong direction, by which means he placed the luggage train on the wrong line, and a most fearfid collision took place between the two luggage trains, three of the carriages being entirely smashed to pieces. We are happy to state that no other damage was done, nor was any person injured. The line was speedily cleared of the obstruction, signals having been sent to Woodleeford and Normanton stations to stop any train from advancing until the line was per fectly clear. MAIL COACH A CCIDENT.—On Monday last a rather curious accident befel the Gloucester down mail when about midway between this town and Neath. It appears that the fore carriage axle suddenly giving , way, the wheel became disengaged from the coach, and rolled off with a R. 1.- tion of the axle in the box. The suddenness of the jerk thus created threw Mr. Williams, the driver, into the road without affording him much time for consideration. The guard likewise became disengaged from the vehicle, while the horses made off at a galloping pace. The coach con tinned running on thi ee wheels for upwards of half a mile, when one of the horses pulling rather stronger titan the others, caused both coach and horses to fall into a ditch on the road side. The animals now commenced kicking vio lently until they disengaged themselves from the coach, the front part of which they had completely battered in. Pre viously to this the passengers, with a single exception, jumped off the coach one by one, all sustaining more or less injury, but none to any great extent. The passenger most seriously hurt was J. Johnes, Esq., of Dolcothy, who had his shoulder dislocated. in leaping from the inside. Tll4 person who stuck to the coach was the only individual who came off' unscathed.— Cambrian. DREADFUL EXPLOSION IN HURST-STREET, BIRMING IIAINI.—On Friday about half-pat ten o'clock, the inhabitants of Hurst-treet, and the surrounding neighbour hood, were alarmed by a lerrific explosion proceeding from the house of Mr. Adamson, tailor, Hurst-street. It appears that Mr. Adamson, in addition to carrying on his own regular business, has for some time been in the habit of manufacturing fire works for the purpose of supplying dealers, and one of the attics of the house in which he resided was fitted up for the carrying on of this branch of his occupation. At the time above stated, Mr. Adamson and his son (a young man about twenty-five years of age) were engaged in the manufacture ofsome fireworks, and while the son was mixing together some chemical preparation, it became ignited, and the flames at once communicated with a quantity of fireworks, which caused a terrific explosion, blowing out the two windows of the attics, and a mass of brickwork, above a yard in width, which at once fell into the street. The window of the front room, situate on the first floor, was also blown out, as was the window-frame of the room on the ground floor. We re fret to say that the son of Mr. Adamson was very severely iroured, and was at once conveyed to the Queen's Hospital, where he now lies in a precarious state. Mr. Adamson, senior, was also much burnt about the arms and face in en deavouring to smother the fire in the first instance. The roof and front of the house were so shaken by the explosion, that it was deemed requisite to prop both up.---13inni1am Journal. PRICES OF FISH IN LONDON AND YARMOUTH .—A fishmonger in this town went down to the beach on Tuesday, to procure if possible a turbot or two. The fish agent stated that he had orders to forward all to London, without selling any in Yarmouth, but as he wished to oblige the fishmonger, he might have two for 24e. This was thought much too high a price, and they were accordi forwarded to Loudon, and old on Wednesday Or 685 . --S ulk Chronicle. HORIZONTAL WATCHES, VERY FLAT.
