Elizabeth .Bacon, 15, was indicted for felouiously set ting fire to the dwelling-house of William Adams with intent. o injure him. -Mr. a Johnson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Cobbett defended the prisoner. The case was one of rather an extraordinary character. William Adams, the son of the prosecutor, depOsed that be Jived in the same house with him at Pagham near. Chichester. At the time the occurrence took place which formed the subject of the inquiry the prisoner had been-in their service about a fortnie.,llt. On the night of the 9th of May he went to bed about eleven o'clock. His bedroom adjoined that in which his sisters slept, and before he went to sleep all the' lights in the house were extinguished. He was awoke about half-past three o'clock the following morning by a sensation of being suffocated, and he then discovered that the curtains of his bed were all in flames. He immediately got up and went to his sisters' room, and he saw that the curtains of their bed were also on fire, and a quilt also appeared to have been ithrown over the banisters, and that was on fire, and it had ignited the staircase. He saw the prisoner shortly afterward; and she said that two men had been into het bedroom,. and that they had taken part of the clothes off her bed. In consequence of something that was afterwards told him he subsequently went into the'privy in the garden, and there found one . of the home baked loaves which the family were in the habit of eating. The fire was extinguished without any serious mischief having been occasioned by it. By Mr. ConneTT—Witness was net in the habit of walking in his sleep. The first thing he saw of the pri soner was her coming spestaira with some water after the alarm of fire had been given. Mrs. Adams, the mother of the last witness, deposed that upon the night in question she saw the house pro perly secured, and took the candle from her daughter's bedroom, and everything was quite safe when she and ber husband went to bed. Soon after they had got into their bedroom she heard a door shut twice at the back of the house, and she again looked over it and found everything quite safe. In the course of the following morning her son William gave the alarm of the house being on fire, and upon her going to her son's and daugh ter'sbedroom, she saw the curtains iu fl imes. The quilt, which was on the banisters, belonged tb the pri soners' bed, and it had been taken from her room since the previous night. Upon looking over the house witness found that the box of the prisoner which contained her wearing apparel had bean taken from her room and placed down stairs close to the back door. Having heard what the prisoner bid said about two men going into her bedroom and taking the clothes off her bed, she remarked to her that it was very strange, if her story was true, that there should he nothing missing, and the prisoner at that time made no answer, but shortly afterwards she said that a leaf hal been taken, and this was the loaf that was afterwards found by her son in the privy. The prisoner had only been a short time in their service, and she bad had occasion to com plain of her not being clean in her work. Mr. Adams, the prosecutor, deposed that immediately after the alarm of fire had been given, ho went to the prisoner's room, and found she was not there, and the bed did not appear to be tumbled, or as though any one bad lain upon it. When ho did see the prisoner she was dressed. Thomas Lucas, a labouring man in the prosecutor's service, deposed that he asked the prisoner why she did not give an alarm after the two men had left her bed room, and she replied that she was afraid to do so for fear they should come back and kill her. Mr COBBETT, on addressing the jury for the prisoner, said that the care was one certainly or a very mysterious character; but, although they might think the conduct of the prisoner was suspicious, yet it appeared to him they might charitably come to the opinion that the evi dence did not conclusively make out the charge, and upon that ground would say that the prisoner was not guilty. The Learned Counsel then urged upon the jury the absence of any motive for the commission of such a diabolical act, and said that the statements made by ber were evidently given while she was in a s' ate of great alarm and confusion, and therefore they ought not to be pressed too hardly against her. The Rev. Mr. Barker, the vicar of Pagham, was called to speak to the prisoner's character. It. appeared that her father acted as parish clerk, and that the prisoner had bOrne an exceedingly good character for the period he had known her. The CHIEF BARON, in summing up, said this was a very painful case, by reason of a girl of such tender age being charged with so serious an offence. If she had been much younger, it would have been his duty, under the strange 'circumstances connected with the charge, to have asked the jury whether they considered the prisoner was aware of the nature of the act she had committed; •but •as the• law held every one over 14 to be responsible for his acts unless evidence were produced by the party accused .t.io show that he was not, they must, in the absence of such evidence, look at the matter in the ordinary way, and say whether the evidence satisfied them that the prisoner had actually committed the net with which she • was charged. As to the fire being wilful, he apprehended there could be no' doubt of that fact, from the evidence showing that there had been three different places set on fire, and the only question then remained was, whether the prisoner was proved by the evidence, beyond any reasonable doubt, to be the guilty party. It was 'cer tainly very strange for a young girl to get up bathe dead of the night and set fire to her master's house in three places without any apparent object or motive, but it was his duty to tell them that the absence of such motive ought not to influence their decision when the fact was clearly established. The jury, after every short deliberation, returned a verdict of Guilty, but at the same time strongly recom mended the prisoner to mercy on account of her youth and previous good character. The CHIEF BARON said the recommendation should certainly be attended to to the fulls st extent. Thomas Huyhes 18, and Thomas Claridge, 15, were indicted for a burglary in the dwelling-house of landah Brogden, and stealing a workbox, a corkscrew, and some plated articles; tlnd S a bi na S t ansbury, 17, was c harged with feloniou s ly rece i v i ng a port i o n of the pro perty, knowing it to have been stolen. MS. Johnson prosecuted. The prosecutrix in this case, it appeared, is a widow Brighton. The robbery in question lady residing at Friars'' Oak about was committed cn about 10 miles from the night of the 4th o f J uly, and on the f o ll ow i ng d a y -the' three prisoners went to a beershop at B r i g h ton , an d the woman was proved to have given a tablecloth—one of the articles that bed been stolen—to a woman to pledge, and underneath her bed there were also found ,other portions of the stolen property. The two male a b n ei d n go other r rc h h o e u d s (fo e rea plated lang prisoners were apprehend e d afterwards by Berwick, a superintehdent of the Worthing police; and, upon their was notwithstanding n o d oubt they the wer e y p o other indictments against silthever prisonersll and t a frloh corkscrew ebruer gwlea were were eyi a. unudr found upon them, as well as a centre bit, several files, p .en s. prisoners,receiving; t and, herer u a t c h ti o s f ed th t h e i e m v. a e l s e , and that they ha 1 bee Lo carrying on a most extensive system of depredation in different parts of the country. The jury found them all Guilty, and Hughes was sen tenced to ba transp orte d for 10 years, and Claridge and Sainsbury to be kept to hard labour; the former 12 and the latter f o r 9 months. K. - As the ' prisoners were going down the stops leading from the dock, Hughes struck the -girl Sainsbury a vio lent blow nn the head which appeared to fell.her to the ground. It was stated by the police that the reason for his c"allit:lng this brutal act was a belief that she had given some information upon the subject of other offences that he had committed. John Proudley, 36, a savage looking fellow, was in dicted for the capital offence of felonionily stabbing George Smart, with intent to murder him. Mr. Johnson prosecuted and Mr. Cr: tay defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner was a labourer living at Slindea, and, according to the evidence, he had enter tained a strong animosity against a person named, Wellsher, who kept a beer -shop and who also filled the office of,overseer, on account of some proceedings he had taken to remove the prisoner's mother from a cottage which she had occupied, and he had repeatedly threatened to do some mischief to him. On the 15th of May he went to the house of this person, and conducted himself in such a violent manner that the prose cutor, who is the constable of the parish, was sent for to take him into custody. The prisoner before this had been brandishing a knife about, and threatening to stab any one who interfered with him, and the moment the prosecutor went to him and off, red to take him into cus tody, he, without saying a word, thrust the knife into his stomach and inflicted a most severe and dangerous wound. A surgeon named Clark, who was called iu 1 upon the occasions descri bed the in j ur y , and also stated that it was a very rare occurrence for any one to recov e r from such a wound, an d he attributed that result in the present instance to the extraordinary good constitution of the prosecutor. c,un with intent to do grtevou d the pr isoner " Guilty of wounding The jury f • s bodily harm." His LORDSIIIp, in passing sentence, told the prisoner that he might con'sid'er himself very fortunate that he was not standing at the bar to answer not see how a . I died he did not of mur der, and if the prosecutor had . found guilty of that he could have escaped from being li . crime. The use of a kn ife was at a times cowardly and nn-English, an d in all cases of this description ish, where a conviction took place the safety of the public example required that a severe should be mad e o f th e. offender. Ho then sentenced the prisoner to be trans ported for tenyears. ------- IT—Cambridge, July 23. (Before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) William Shaw, aged 24, was indicted for feloniously CR N OW ORI c O o L t if uni F 7- HI_R C stabbing Robert Wilson on tlfe 27th of J une last. 'Mr. .N aylor prosecuted, and Mr. Metcalfe defended the prisoner. The prosecutor is a t r avelling peekman, and it ap peared, that having some months back sold a gown piece for 6s. to the wife of the prisoner , he, wh en gong his rounds in June la st, called on him for that debt, and also 10s. 4d. which he owed to his brother-in-law. The prisoner was then engaged in the act of eating so me bread and cheEse, and bad an open knife in his hand. The demand for both debts somewhst nettled hiio, for he indignantly disputed 'the debt, and threatened to turn the proecntor out of his house if he did . --not - go. To this Mr. Wilson said, " That is: a queer way of doing business. If you do not pay I will county court you; and if you do not pay then I will clip you into gaol.". This threat So excited the prisoner, who wad of exceed ingly small stature, that he seized the poker, and com menced an attsck on his, creditor. who in a trice twisted the poker out of his hand, and flinging it into the cor nbr of the room, again demanded his . money. Just at that moment the prisoner's wife came to his rescue; and picking up the poker replaced it in his hand. The prosecutor then, who was a. stout Northumbrian, think ing things were getting - rathex Sr,rious, closed with hiN pugnacious creditor, and lifting him, poker and all, off the floor, placed him on a bench, when, :despite his ut moat:re.istanee and the outcries of his indignant spouse, he proceeded to wrest the poker from'his grasp. When thus engsmid, he received a deep and dangerous 'wound in the body from the knife of the prisoner, who, when he was disarmed, exulted in the wound, and added, with an oath, his wish that ho had had the prosecutor's "heart's blood." On the part of the prisoner it was contended that he bad a right to turn the .prosecutor out of his house by force if ho would not leave quietly, aud, though the use of the poker was not to be justified, yet it was to be considered that the prisoner was fto match for his oppo nent, who would appear to have greatly aggravated him by his threat of .legal proceedings. As to the wound which was the subject of this trial, that evidently ap peared to have been inflicted during the struggle on the bench, which'arose from the attempt of the prisoner to eject the prosecutor, and there was nothing to show that It did not arise from accident. Mr. Justice PATTESON said, that though there was no doubt that the prosecutor was not justified in remaining in the house, even though he came to demand a just debt, yet it was equally dear that the prisoner was not justified in resorting to so dangerous a weapon as a poker, in order to compel his creditor to quit. Still less would he be justified in using -a knife, even though ho happsned to hare it open in his hand, during the scuffle for the possession of the poker. Under all the circum stances of the case, it would to for the jury to say whe ther the wound was the result of accident or design. If of design, it could hardly be but that the knife must have been used with the felonious intent charged in the indict ment, and the jury ought to find the prisoner guilty of the whole charge. It had been urged to the jury that they might find the prisoner guilty of a common assault; but it was not because the statute allowed that course that it should be always adopted by a jury, who ought to give such a verdict only as was reasonably warranted by the facts proved before them. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of the folony; and, after a kind and warm admonition on the part of the Learned Judge, he was sentenced to nine months' im prisonment, with hard labour. POLICE !INTELLIGENCE. BoW-STREET. Yesterday a middle-aged man of respectable appear ance, named Edwin Bates, described as an artist, was brought before Mr. Jardine, on a warrant which was granted on the 18th inst., upon the information of the Hon. Colonel Charles Grey,lEquerry, to the Queen,!and others, charged with sending divers letters through him, threatening his Royal Highness Prince Albert, that if he declined to contribute something to alleviate his distress, ho would do him some injury. Colonel Grey stated that from the month of January until the 4.h ins% he received four letters from the pri soner, directed to .his Royal Highness, which, in his belief, conveyed threats that he would do Mm some bodily harm. Mr. JARDINE asked the prisoner if he had seen the letters produced, and having; received an answer in the negative, they were handed to him. The prisoner then said, I am aware that I have writ ten strange things at times; but I entertalu no ill-feeling towards his Royal Highness, who in no way has acted nnkindly towards me. Perhaps Colonel Grey is not aware that in the month of February a gentleman in duced me to think that Prince Albert was willing to con tribute to a fund for my relief, to which the Earl of Zet land, the Earl of. Carlisle, and other noblemen, have al ready subscribed; upon which I addressed a letter to the Hon. Colonel Phipps, requesting he would recommend my case to her Majesty, and received an answer that it was not usual for the Queen to'allow her name to be placed at the head of a list of subscribers for such a purpose. I hope, therefore, you will make some allow ance for my state of mind, owing to the disappointment I have met with, and that you will not be induced to con clude I ever intended to convey any throat to the Prince, or that I entertained any vindictive feeling towards any member of the Royal Family, well knowing that they had no disposition to injure me: Mr. JARDINE—You have examined each of the let ' ter', ere you willing. to admit that they are in your hand .wriiing? Prisoner—l do not deny that they are mine; at the same time I must deny that they contain, or that I intended, any threats. I was persuaded that if the `Prince would allow his name to appear at the head of the list, other persons would readily contribute, and my ob ject in writing the letters before you was, that he would grant-me such a favour. I have •for a considerable time past met with great kindness from Mr. Masterman, the banker, and other benevolent persons, and if you are in duced by the present proceedings to make a public example of me, you will by that means do away with the whole of the subscriptions that have been entered into for me. ',was also told by Mr. Hope that if he saw Lord Monteagle's name in the list he would subscribe, and I em firmly convinced that if the signature of his Royal Highness appeared it would in a great measure influence others. Mr. JAIWINE inquired if it was to be understood that a prosecution would be instituted id the case, or was the object of having the prisoner apprehended simply to have him held to bail? Mr. Raven, chief clerk in the office of Mr. Maule, solicitor to the Treasury, replied that it was necessary to compel the prisoner for the future to keep the peace; and, after referring to certain passages in each of the letters, said that such language could not be to lerated with impunity as "my life depends on Prince Albert," and " it is a question of life or death with me," &e.; and as such expressions were very likely to cause alarm in the mind of any one to whom they wore ad dressed, the Government considered it necessary to in terfere, and prevent a repetition of such conduct, not only for the security of his Royal Highness, but of the public, and that thb prisoner should be called upon to enter into such sureties as the Court should them fit to require. _ _ The prisoner entreated the Court not to adopt such harsh measures against him; and if there were any doubts as to his mental debility, that Dr. Munro and Dr. Sutherland, both' of whom had prescribed for hire, should be examined upon the subject of his delusions, which were caused by unfortunate railway speculations. He also begged to say, that in 1837 he was tried at the Central Criminal Court, and there it was proved by competent witnesses that he was not in a Bound state of mind. Mr. JARDINE said he wad not competent to enter into th© merits of the circumstances alluded to, his duty being to put a construction upon the bearing of the letters be fore him, and he was bound to take care that the person who was capable of writing such threats should be pre vented fromAoing any harm; in addition to which an avowal to that effect hiving been made, the prisoner could not consider it a hardship on being required to find sureties, himself in the sum of 2001., au r it two others in 1501. each, to be of good behaviour and keep the peace towards all her Majesty's subjects, but particularly to his Royal Highness Prince Albert, for twelve calendar months. The prisoner was removed from the bar, and a com munication was made to the Governor of Tothill-fields prison that he should draw the attention of the medical attendants of that establishment to the state of his mind. WESTMINSTER. VIOLENT ASSAULT UPON A MEMBER OF PARLIAMENT. —Mr. John Patrick Somers, M.P. for Sligo, attended at this court to prefer a charge against Charles Bentley, son cf the keeper-of the Westminster Schulars' Cricket ground, Vincent.square, who had been summoned for violently assaulting him. Upon the case being called on, Mr. BRODERIP in quired what the defendant's calling was? Deendarit replied- 7 Cricketer and butcher. Mr. BRODERIP observed that before going into this case he felt it his duty, considering the rack and station of the parties, to say this was a case that ought to go to the sessions, for if upon a full hearing of the evidence he ciinie to the conclusion that the assault alleged had been committed, the utmost penalty he could impose would be a fine of 5/.; and any pers,)n so 'charged, it the matter were disposed of summarily, might consider they had a right to amuse themselves jsy committing aisaults, of this description by putting their hands in - their a penalty h ha d e matter ment to o . nd t e h.e. He pockets_ and paying that sum. He had no objection to dispose of the matter summarily, but that he felt that in these cases it became a mockery, as a persar p6ss.c,ssiriv, the mo ans might commit such offences with a degree of impunit y . He r efo r e of paying g determined the up upon sending sessions. Mr. Somers thanked the niigistrate for his considera tion and expressed his willingness t o l eave t h e case en. tirely in his hands. He had no vindictive feeling against the defendant; but he felt that 'a most atrocious, cowardly, and assassin-like assault had been committed upon' him. He had been brought up in this country, having been many years in the public ,school at Har roW; had seen may skirmishes in the course of his time, but never so dastardly an assault as this, the atrocity of which induced bim upon public grounds to come forward. Mr. Somers then proceeded to give his evidence upon oath, and said—On Tuesday evening at six o'clock I went to the House of Parliament, but it happened to be the day of the Duke of Cambridge's interment, and as there was no evening sitting I walked homewards with a friend, and when I got within sight of my own rest denco, my favourite dog, which had been let out by my people, advanced towards me and strayed into the in closure of Vincent-square, the gate of which was wide open. I followed him in ft,r the purpose of getting him out, and found him rolling himself in the grass within four or five yards of the gate, and within 150 or 200 yards of any of the cricketers, whd were playing in the centre of the ground. There were two men sitting oteehairs near the g a t : , I smoking pipes, tale of whom I believe to. be th e de fend.mt. leld a cap ca, but PO coat. He accosted me in a very insolent mactecr, a7.d said I had no bLil nets thorn with my dog. I replied the dog was doing no harm merely relling on the grass, when he said, " Take your dog away, or I will bundle you both out of the place." I replied, "My good fellow, do not be angry; keep your temper; there is no harm done. I came here for the purpose of taking him ou:," upcu which he jumped up out of his chair and suddenly ad vanced towards me in a very menacing attitude, which led me to expect he was going to strike me, and al though I was very uevrell, and had been so for some days before, which I can distinctly prove, and had my great coat en my arm, I was prepared to resist the assault, and when he came within reach of me I blow at him, which he avoided by keeping out of dis tance. My frind then interposed and said, " This gen tleman efferecl you no insult. What right have you to attack him?" upon which he became very violent and struggled very much to get at me. Mr. BRODERIP Was anybody holding him ? Mr. Somers—My .friend was holding him; at which time the dog, which is a young one, being only eighteen months or two years old, kept jumping up, not only at my friend and the defendant, but at myself, and tore the skirt completely off.my coat, after which we got out of the enclosure, and the gate was locked. Some passers by, attracted by what had occurred, accosted me on the outside of the iron railing, and I was explaining to them what bad occurred, holding one of thn bars cf the iron railing at the time, when this man advanced quite un expectedly, my face being partially turned towards the .railing, and opened at me - through the rails, striking me a violent blow on the eye and nose with such force as to completely whip me off my legs, so completely unpre pared was I for it, and my fall was broken by a person behind catching me. Mr. BRODERIP—What was the effect of the blow—did it close your eye? Mr. Somers—lt fortunately was a little below. I bled profusely from the nose, but the mark under My eye was so bad that 'I could not appear in ptiblic for several days. I could not in consequence ap pear in my place in the House of Commons at a time when particularly anxious to do so. I must also observe that a few moments before he made this attack upon me and inflicted the blow, he made use of a most disgusting epithet. In conclusion, the Hon. Member again complained of the atrocious, assas sin-like, and cowardly assault committed upon him at a moment he was unprepared, the defendant striking him through the railings when he had no opportunity of de fending himself, or of retaliating, and expressed himself somewhat in favour of the principle that if men came in collision they should tight it out. John Abbot, pianoforte-maker, said that he was pass inr, on the evening in que•stion, and saw the defendant in his shirt-sleeves pushing a gentleman, who was expos tulating with him against using violence, at the same time a dog was frisking about and jumped up at de fendant, who threw a stone at it. Defendant's mother and sister then came from the lodge, and pushed the gentleman out and closed the gate. Complainant and his friend • were outside, and were explaining to the scholars how the matter had occurred, when at that moment defendant rushed through the scholars, and struck the complainant, whose face was close to the railing. Mr. BRODERIP —At the moment before be struck, as described, did the complainant use any threatening ges ture towards him? Witness—He did not; he wes spank ing to the scholars. If he had defendant could not hare seen it, as he had fallen back and was behiud the scholars zt the time. Mr. I3ttonznie—What was the effect of the blow? Witness—lle bled profusely, at it appeared to me, from the nose and mouth; and I should sly his eye weculd be black the next day from the effect of the blow. Delendant—TlCnt %yes the Lo inning as far as you saw ? Witness—As far as I saw. Defendant—Did you hear me make use of any dis gustieg language ? Witness.—l James LOltaci, a labouring man, who was passing, also proved having seen defendant commit the assault in the manner described. In reply to the Magistrate's inquiry, witness said that the gentif.man's face bled a great deal, and ho made sure at the time that he was much injured. Mr. Somers—Bc fore he struck the blow did he make use of any olyiervation ? Witness—fie said he would punch his head. Mr. Somers—Any more ? Witness I don't know. Cross examined by deten.lant—l did not see the com mencement of it. Mr. Thomas Drennon, of Duke-street, Adelphi, gen • tleman, who was in company with Mr. Somers on the evening in question, also confirmed his statement throughout. He interposed, and held the defendant, bs has been described, to prevent anything unpleasant or curing, and endeavours i to persuade defendant before the blow was struck, to be quiet. lie banded defendant over, after having held him, to prevent any violence, to soma females at the lodge, and thi.n went outside. Wit ness described defendant's rushing forward and striking the blow like a flash of lightning—it was so quick; and declared he never saw a more cowardly blow struck in his 113. The effect of the blow was so severe that, had it not been for hemorrhage, he thought that Mr::SoMers would not have been able to attend to Parliamentary duties for some time. Witness said that the scholars were so excited that he wa afraid that if, the gate were opened, they (he and Mr. Somers) would have been attacked by them with their cricket-bats. Mr. BR' DERIP having, in the words of the statute for indictable offences, inquired whether defendant wished to say anything, at the same time informing him, as customary, that whatever he said would be taken down and might be, used in evidence against him, observed that he was not going to try this case, anal the accused might therefore make his defence, or reserve it, as he thought proper. Defendant—May I call some witnesses? Mr. 13RODERIP—Not here. If I were going to try the case you might call as many as you chose to bring, and it would be my duty to hear them. You are going **ore a jury, where an ample opportunity will be afforded you of producing evidence in your behalf, but if you have any thing that you wish to say I am ready to bear you. Dd - fendant—Then I would rather decline saying any thifig at present. Mr. BRODERIP—It is my duty to call upon you for !sureties, youn.elf in GO/. and two in 301. each, for your appearance to answer for this violent and cowardly as sault alleged ag4irm•you. Mr. Somers and witnesses having been bound over to prosecute, retired. The defendant having put in the required bail, villa liberated. THE SHRIEVALTY OF THE CITY OF LONDON. Yesterday, at the Court cf Common-hall, at the con clusion of the proceedings for the day at throe o'clock, the numbers for sheriff were declared as being—for Mr. liodgkinson 314, for Mr. Butler 90. Mr. Secondary James, with Mr. Millard, the tinder-sheriff, were upon the hustings during the whole of the afternoon. The proceedings with reference to the election having closed, , Mr. Low said, that it would be in the recollection of many of the,peraons present that he had, on the day named for the opening of the proceedings, nominated Mr. Charles Salisbury, Butler as a fit and proper person to fill_the office of sheriff in conjunction with-Alderman Carden. That morning, however, a letter had appeared' in the Times purporting to have been signed by Mr. But-' ler, which stated that he (Mr. Butler) had declined to serve, on the ground that he had been proposed without giving his sanction t 3 fill the office, and that, in conclu sion, ho begged any parties who might to friendly to him to vote against him. The facts of the case were simply theset—llp (Mr. Low) had entered the hall for the pur pose of attending to his general duties, when a letter was „put into his hands signed by the clerk of the Hosiers' ' Company, which was to the effect that he (the clerk) had DO reason to doubt that Mr. Better, of Upper Clapton, would serve during the ensuing mayoralty if he was ap proved of. The letter was address2cl to Alderman Mus grow, and given to him (Mr. Low) on his entrance into Ote hall. In consequence of thin, he (Mr. Low), having same personal knowledge of. Mr. Butler, and knowing him to be a respectable gentleman and a magistrate fez the county of Middlesex, did not hesitate to propose that gentleman for sheriff; but it appeared by Mr. Butler's letter that he opposed any such p rocee di ng . All h e (Mr. Low) would say was that he had done his duty; and that he considered no blame in the matter was im putable to hitu.—(gar, bear, and cheers.) If tlivre was any blame it rested upon the shoulders of other Deputy ILinnrsorr said, pu,rties.—(H ear, hear.) that it had been with much pleasure that he had proposed the name of his neigh bour, Mr. Hodgkinsou, to fill the office of sheriff:, He must say, however, that he felt hurt at what bad taken place, as Mr. Aldcrman Carden had failed in the pro= mise ho bad deiberately made to support Mr. Hodg lzinson. He (Deputy Harrison) hoped, however, that the Livery would see the advantage they had gained, and that they would support the interests of Mr. Hodg kinson. The proceedings then terminated. EVELYN'S " TRUE RELIGION;"—In its notice of this important work, now first published from the original ma nuscript, the John Bull observes —" Scarcely could a moment have been chosen More seasonable than the present for - the publication 'of this posthumous work of the Christian Philo sopher of Wotton, whose personal character, coupled with his erudition and depth of thought, gives more than ordi nary weight to anything written by him 'upon the portant subject of religion. T o hear, in the midst of the din and debwe of modern controversy, a voice from the grave ,pronouncing upon the - questions so much agitated in the pre sent day, i rlgi4e a surprise to all, and to many, we doubt not, a solute of much -comfort.; The composition of the present - work originated hi the desire felt, ty the learned and pious author, to satisfy his own mind concerning the founda tions. of his faith, at. a period which must have proved one cf intense trial and distress to every tamest mind. Evelyn took in hand to review the whole subject 'of religion, tracing 'it to its fountain-head, and scrutinizing at every step the evidence on which it rests. The views and principles advo cated in these volumes are of a strict Church character; and the work is one likely to contribute in no small degree, espe cially at the present day, to the healing of existing differ ences, anti to the vindic a tion of the principles of our Church, alike against Romish superstition and latitudinarian un belief... . . . RAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE. NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE. (it ibis comp an y was et;e:(lay, apany's eiaices, Star-I:poe n. • There was a much smaller oetanduece then at. .e or three previous meetiugs of the compaz:y. J. L. keeedo. q M.P., presided. The direeto:.s' teport having been read, The CHAI,`,!MAN, after soliciting a fair heating for any state raenre which the directors might deem it necessary to make, said he came before the shareholders with much greater satisfaction than he had done on previous occa sions, inasmuch as his tongus was in a great measure loosened oa to tha peliiieel actions of the directiou, and he wag enabled to state to them what had been done, end to indicate what remained to ba done in respect to the policy t 3 to pursued by this company. Hitherto the directors had not been able to explain their actions in regard to the opponents with whom they had had to contend. Referring shortly to the past history of the line, the Chairman alluded to the period when Mr. Glyn had recommended the necessity of this company's amalgamating with the Churnet Valley, which recou. • mendation had been adopted, under the belief that if they remaioed iadependeet of the Churnet Valley Company, this company would have had the opposition of the London and Birmingham' Company; and that, under the terms of a previous agreement,. they would then have a right to demand from that company the direct Man chester traffic.—((fear, hear.) When the amalgamation with the Grand Junction and the Manchester and Bir mingham Companies wra proposed, an agreement to that °fleet eras proposed to this company, which it was to be regretted had - not been secured under the signature of the chairman of those two companies. Under present circumstances, however, the' directors were anxious to allay all ill-feeling between those companies, and the abstract of an agreement which had been entered into with the London and North-Western Company, and which had been laid before the shareholders, would s h ow that they were doing everything they could to carry out the arrangement for securing that traffic upon the • most amicable terms. Tho arrangement which they had now entered into with the London and North- Western Company, comprehended not only the traffic from London to Manchester, but from intermediate places between London and Manchester, and also the cross traffic from Chester, Holyhead, and Liver pool, by Crewe, to Derby and the east ; and also from Manchester to the east, to any places south of Boston.--(Hear, hear.) None of that traffic had been entered in the accounts of the present half-year; but, in future, he trusted it would show a considerable addition to the company's receipts. The traffic froth Crewe to Derby had already been obtained; but that from Derby to Crewe remained to be secured; and in time they trusted they would have a thorough traffic between Lon don and Manchester, which would materially assist in developing the local traffic of the line. They had also entered into negotiations to have the mails carried over their line. Some of the members of the investigation committee had taken the somewhat imprudent step of stepping in between the directors and the London and North- Western Company, and to that cause he be lieved was to be attributed the suspension of negotia tions. He (the chairman) objected, except in very ex treme cases, to the appointment of committees of in quiry. They paralysed and embarrassed the efforts of the directors; and the accusers naturally became the judges of the directors, and, in their own de fence, were inclined to twist and turn every circum stance, in order to show the necessity which had existed for their appointment. So far as the directors were personally concerned, they did not complain of the committee; but they regretted on the part of the shareholders that proceedings should be taken which operated against their owu interests.--(Hear, hear.) As to the system of retrenchment which the com mittee proposed, the directors were prepared to propose such measures as might be deemed practicable witeout injuring the interests of the company. They should begin with themselves, and at the next half yearly meeting they should tell the shareholders not what they proposed to do, but what they had done from this time forth.—(Applause.) In conclusion the chair man stated that the canal, running parallel with the railway, and existing under almost similar circum stances, realised a weekly revenue of 3,000/., while the receipts of the railway were only 2,000/. IF, with the support of the shareholders, the directors were enabled to carry out their views, ho felt convinced that the rail way revenue might be at least equal to that of the canal, and from calculations which he had made, he could say that of whatever additional receipts they might have over their present income, 80 per cent, would be avail able for dividends.—(Applause.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed the adoption of the report, which was seconded by Mr. R. C. Sneer, vice chairman of the company. General BRIGGS proposed that the report of the com mittee be considered previously to that of the directors; and entered into a long analysis and justification of thut very elaborate document, condemning the reckless ex penditure which had been incurred in the erection of stations, &c., the present extravagant salaries, and other points of the policy of the management. While taking these ()ejections, the speaker said that he had great hopes of the line, and believed that it would, at no distant day, realize the expectations of the shareholders. Mr. TAUNTON, another member of the committee of investigation, seconded the resolution, adding his con demnation of the proceedings of the directors, and urging the necessity of a reconstitution of the board, with its reduction from fifteen to nine members. It was impos sible that the shareholders couldever have full confidence in the board until they saw the men of property resident in the neighbourhood exercise a legitimate influence thereupon, and until the large mass of shareholders resi dent in London were properly represented. The lengthy conversation which ensued had reference mainly to matters of difference between individual mem bers of the investigation committee. At length Mr. CooKE, barrister, suggested that the original mo tion should be allowed to be carried. It was needless longer to dispute when it was universally agreed that the directors were honourable; the officers efficient, and that the committee had well discharged its duties. After what had taken place, the directors would surely see to the reduction of any salaries which were extravagant. Mi. STOCK, of Leeds, characterised the report of the .committee as one of the most milk-and-water descriptio n . It contained no suggestions which were truly valuable, but such as the directors were ready themselves to make. Atter the blustering of the previous meeting, he was ashamed of the report; and of the gentlemen who thus came toiward arid injured their own property and that of the directors.—(Applause.) It was 'suggested that the report of the directors should be put and carried, but Mr. TAUNTON objected that it contained a sentence which reflected upon the members of the investigation corn uaittee. The CHAIRMAN said the passage alluded to in the re port was constructed in the defence of the directors from I insinuations contained in the committee'e.l llf the report had been in the same spirit as the speeches of the mem bers of the committee, absolving the directors from blame, he should not have recommended the sentence contained in the report. It was desirable, however, that the matter'should drop, and be would consider that no insinuation Lad been made against the directors by the committee. General Bneocs said, they did not impute to the di recters a went of integrity, but a want of judgment. The motion for the adoption of the report was then put and unanimously carried. Lord lannownr, without pledging himself to any of the details in the report of the committee, moved a vote of thanks to them tor their services, which was carried. The seal having been affixed to the registry of share holder:, Tile CHAIRMAN replied to the sort of charge preferred by Mr. Taunton against the Earl of Shrewsbury. Mr. Ricardo said A more honourable and noble minded man I never met than the Noble Earl who has been referred to; and to say that he has sold his Parliamentary interest for 1,000/. a year is most uufeir and imprepr: it is a most unfair attack, and never ought to have been uttered or made. Now it is telivr.ya usual, when u Bill is before Parlia ment; the effect of which ail' ce Mc sum shall be specifi ,d o wner's property, that asp he to injure a great land by way of compensation; and it , ho:e is any property in the kingdom injured more theme another by a railway, it is that very besutifal Can t ! cslled Alton Towers. The sum 01'20,0001. was agreed upon by the Churnet Valley Company b fere we amalgamated with them; and I believe that Lord Shrewsbury never gave a vote in Parliament on the a 'jest of this railway in his life.— (Heir, hear.) his Lordship hus made all sorts of Coll.• COSSLIIS to us; he has lent to us every possible faility. Th: lit e runs for four miles through his property, close to his pkeeeure grounds, and he has opened his I.st dens to 0: r:r p;. 1 believe that the 20,000/. which bee been converted in debentures was a tsir sum to he pa'd to Lo:d Shrewsbury, as times want when the rat mats was fixed; and he, for oee, would never he the man :o endaavour to set • uch azrei ment aside. Lard Shrews bury had never himself interfered .in the m itter in his life." Mr. TAUNTON subsoquently in part explained away his accusation, but he considered that the 20,0004 paid as compnkaion was excessive. The retiring directors ware reelected. Th 3 motion for declaring a dividend of Is. 6d. per share was put and lost, so that the surphis of revenge stands over to the credit of the ensuing half-year. Gentral Manus moved a vote of thanks to the Chair man, which was carried, and then Mr. thous, of Halifax, said that something more than a mere formal vote was necessary on this occasion. In this spirit he moved the following:—" That this meeting cannot separate without expressing their high opinion of the beard of dircctors, and their fell confidence in their upright and honourable conduct in the management of the affairs of the railway." General IbIGGS seconded this motion, and It was car ried by acclamation. The CLIA/101LN—We came here prepared to offer cur resignations. We are content, however, to reamin with this expression of your good will; and when you can find better men we shall gladly retire from your service. thou broke up, having lasted five hours and r il a Q q m ua e r e tC hig r.
