Sudlow, Sons, and Torr, 20, Chancery-lane. The object of this railway is, in conjunction with the intended lines from Huddersfield to Halifax and the North, to connect, in the most direct route, the important and increasing manufacturing towns of Huddersfield, Halifax, Bradford, and Keighley, with the metropolis and south of England, and at the same time to complete the intended chain of railway communication from Glasgow and the north, by the shortest and most direct route, with London, and from the south to Glasgow, and other parts of Scotland. It is intended to commence by a junction with the Huddersfield and Sheffield Railway (for which an Act of Parliament has already hoe, obtained) at or near Holmfirth. and to proceed from thence through the last-mentioned place to Woodhead, and across the Man charger and Sheffield Railway there, thence to or near Athersage, Nether Palley, Froggatt, Bubffell, Bakewell, Matlock, Cromford. and to follow the course of the River Derwent to its junotlon with the North Midland Station near to Ambergate, and from thence to Helper or Derby. The present route from Haddersfield to Derby is very circuitous, being now 81 miles, whilst by the intended line the distance between those places will be reduced to 51 miles ; and will also be the most direct conununication that can be formed between Glasgow, Carlisle, nettle, Sk'pton, Caine, Keighley, Halifax, Huddersfield (by means of the projected railway,) and the counties of Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, Northampton, Bedford, and London. It will open the extensive and celebrated stone quarries and coal in Ines of West Yorkshire, and afford an inexhaustible supply of coal and steno to the 'Midland and Southern Counties, and at the same time open fresh markets for the products of the celebrated Derbyshire mines,—the cost of which, from the increased facilities of direct transit to be of by this railway, will be materially lessened ; ltd at the same time the markets of the manufacturing towns of West Yorkshire will be rendered infinitely more accessible for the Oen', wool, cheese, and other productions of the extensive and fertile agricultural districts of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and the south. The survey of the line has been to a great extent completed, and correct estimates of the expenditure and return are in preparation. There are no engineering difficulties in any part of the line which have not been repeatedly surmounted in other cases, whilst by far the greater porti , :n of the southern part of the line will be constructed at am unusually small expense. Powers will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at 41. per cent= per annum on the deposits, and preference in the al lotment of shares will be given to the proprietors of the land through which the line will pass, and to the shareholders in the Huddersfield end Sheffield, and Huddersfield, Halifax, and Keighley lines. The 'felines of a large and influential Committee, with a detailed prospectus, will shortly be published. All communications relative to the line, as also applications for sharer (In the form below), accompanied by a satisfactory reference. may be made and addressed to the Solicitors, at whose offices every neee.,ssary information will be given.

This line of Railway will commence at the junction of the Man bester and Birmingham, Chester and Crewe, and Grand Junction Railways, at Crewe, in the county of Chester, and proceed from thence through or near the towns of Market Drayton, Newport, and Ahlifnal, In Shropshire, thence through the flourishing town of Kid e.:,nuinster, to Worcester and Tewkesbury, and to the Bristol Rail way' at Gloucester. By this means it will form the most direct route rro:n Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Hull, and Chester to the hoportant ; vets of Gloucester and Bristol, indeed the most direct tine from t h e oorth of England to the Bristol Channel. It will, also, to conjunction wtii : the proposed Hereford and Worcester, and Swan sea, merthyr.Tyth ,ii, And Hereford Railways, form the most advan tageous route from Swansea and the iron districts of South Wales, to Liverpool, Manchester, and NMI. The line will cross the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway at Shiff'nal, and the Shropshire Mineral Railway and the Trent Valley llnion at the thriving town of Newport. It will form a junction with the two latter railways at Newport, whereby persons and lug gage may be conveyed to Stafford, Derby, the Midland Counties, 'lltaffordshire Potteries, Sheffield, and Hull; and, In addition to the earriage of heavy goods from Bristol, Gloucester, Worcester, and ILiciJerraluster, to Manchester, Liverpool, the whole of the north of BnglauJ, and Scotland—will secure a large passenger traffic in the district thi.augh which it passes. Thu proposixl railway will be about 87 miles in length, and be tween the two termini of Crewe and Gloucester, will save in distance at least 20 miles, and the Journey can be accomplished, at the pre sent rapid rate of travelling, in about two hours. This project as a }unction has, connects Itself with some of the most Important rail ways in the kingdom. It also skirts the large, extensive, and densely populated iron districts of Shrop shire and Staffordshire, and in its rich course passes thr oug h a ag ricultural country.

The first line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Loughborough station on the Midland Counties line, and pro ceed through the Vale of Sheepsheed, to Pegs Green Colliery, near to the terminus of the Leicester and Swannington Rail way, and ftom thence through the coal-fields of Swannington and Cole-Orton to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. It will thence proceed across the Moira Coal-field and through the rich agricultural districts of Seal,CliftonCampville, and Edingale, to the Birmingham and Derby Railway, which it will cross near to Elford Park Farm, and thence traverse the Valley of the Tame until it reaches Alrewas, where it will form a junction with the branch of the Trent Valley line now in progress of making. At this point it also meets the proposed South Staffordshire line, by which means it reaches Lichfield, and by means of one of the proposed lines it will afford commuuicatiou with Bir mingham. From Loughborough the line will befurther continued to Asfordby on the Syston and Peterborough Railway, now in progress, and by means of this latter line, a direct intercourse will be opened with Melton Mowbray and the various towns through which that route passes to Peterborough. By means of its junction with the Trent Valley line at Alrewas the Grand Trunk reaches Colwich, and there meets the proposed North Staffordshire line, which proceeds through the heart of the Potteries to Newcastle-under-Lyre, Leek, and Macclesfield. By means a l so of the same Trent Valley line at Alrewas the Grand Trunk pro ceeds through Rugeley to Stafford, thus completing its route, and forming a connecting line between the Midland and Grand Junction Railways. This branch of the line was formerly surveyed by t M na r t . Rastrick, and approved of by him as a canal communicati on , so no engineering difficulties exist. The second line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Derby station, and taking the course of the Derby Canal proceed to Chellaston, where there are extensive plaster-works, and thence by Swarkestone to the river Trent, which it will cross near to the ferry at Weston Cliffe, and so proceed to Kings Newton and Melbourne. From the latter place it will pass by the village of Wilson to Breedon-on-the-Hill, where there are extensive lime-works, and thence proceed by Staunton Harold, communicat ing by a branch line with the lead, lime, and coal works there ; thence by the Lount Colliery to Worthington Rough, where it will follow the line of the Cole-Orton and Swannington Railway until its junction with the first lino of the Grand Trunk at or near the Pegs Green Colliery, and so proceed from thence to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. At Asliby-de-la-Zouch the Grand Trunk forms a junction with the proposed Nottingham and Birmingham, and with the proposed Great Manchester, Rugby, and Southampton Railways. Its importance as a line for passengers is too obvious for comment, forming as it does a complete junction between those two great thoroughfares, the Mid land and Grand Junction Railways, and by its branch from Derby to Ashby-des-la-Zoucit another complete junction between the Great Northan and Southern lines now in progress, thus opening a direct line of communication to a ll p arts of t h e kingdom. l t i n n e t n f a o r ri e t ie ra ea ffi ta c ra , n t ree ,GsrtaanirclordTamniirick,will and fo rm ohroptshheire mostdirect iron and tsf rieso W the N n ort or h th a , n a d nd So t u o t t h hee Wales, ase a r n ri d , transit a i c r oal t fi n e d ld to s, s to co t t h la e n ß d, u a rto nd n a b l r l e p w ar e tie ncl c southern, and western parts of the empi re.

Theioi a c ini-field is inexhaus tible, whilst the coal-beds at Staunton Haro r id alone comprise the finest quality of Kennel to a depth of seven feet, with a super stratum of main coal to a depth of six feet. The sub ltllM is yet to be worked. There are beds of Kennel and main e,)tl at Cole Orton of equal quality, though net of equal depth with t': ,se of Staunton Harold, whilst the mai n coal at Swannington mi r • lied being, in fact, the bowl of the Leicestershire and Derbyshire e"tal strata. It is needl ess to describe the beneficial results which mast arise from this opening of the midland coal district to the Lon et and southern markets. At Staunton Harold and Calks exist rich veins of lead ere, now in f il course of working. The properties of the Breeden, Staunton Harold, and Ticknall lime r^ so wail known to agriculturists and others, that an extension of t r tffie for so valuable a commodity into mire remote districts must L of the utmost importance to the practical farmer. In approaching the Trent, on leaving the lime district, the Grand Trunk will fall in with most valuable quarries of millstone grit, ser yl.:eable for paving and building purposes, and for which a ready in trket would be found along the line. The country also abounds in gypsum, of which immense quantities are used in Birming ham and elsewhere : these markets will thus become opened for the quarries at Chellaston. A new and extensive outlet will also be opened for the earthenware of Wooden Box and Griesley Potteries. Until the Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs will be under the control of the Committee of Management, to whom power is given to allot the shares and apply the funds of the Company in payment of all proper expenses in the igrmation of the Company and otherwise. Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime the Committee of Management take power, to alter or extend the lines, to make branch lines, to abandon any part of the line, to raise addi tional capital, and to enter into arrangements with any other Com pany or Companies.

The Branches of the London and County Joint-stock Bank at Tun bridge, Tunbridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton At Hastlngs : --31osars. Smith, Hllder, and Co. The object of this Company is to effect a direct eommunication, by railway, between Tunbridge Wells and Hastings, and also be tween Tunbridge Wells and Brighton. The Hastings line (about twenty-six miles in length) will commence at Tunbridge Wells, and run near Frant, Wadhurst, Lamberhurst, Etchingham, Hurst Green, Robertsbridge, Whatlington, and Battle, having its terminus at the western extremity of Hastings. The Brighton line (about twenty-two miles in length) will com mence at Tunbridge Wells, and take a direct course to Brighton, passing near Mayfield, Rotherfield, IJekfleld, Little Horsted, and Lewes, where it will form a junction with the line, which is nearly completed, between Lewes and Brighton. The numerous visitors and inhabitants of the fashionable waterlog places of Tunbridge Wells, Brighton, and Hastings, will thus not merely enjoy the means of rapid communication with each other ►y railway —an advantage which ought to have been supplied to them before this—but will also have, respectively, when the proposed line from London to Tunbridge is formed, a continued and direct railway to the metropolis. The area embraced within these lines of railway Is justly remark able for the variety and value of its agricultural produce, being one of the most extensive hop districts in England, and not inferior in geeeral fertility to any part of the kingdom ; and when it is consi dered that the metropolis is the principal, indeed, it may almost be said, the exclusive, market for its productions, the profits arising from the conveyance of those productions alone must form (inde pendent of passenger traffic), a very large source of revenue to the Shareholders. Even from the already developed resources of the extensive, wealthy, and populous districts through which the Company's lines will run, the most encouraging estimate of results may be justly en tertained, and when the Hastings Dock and Harbour Company (which has already been provislinally registered) shall have carried into effect the proposed improvements, the line from that town to Tunbridge Wells must become one of the most profitable in England, as it will then be the great highway:of continental tourists. The route from London to Paris, by Hastings and Dieppe, is decidedly the most direct, as well as the most interesting, which a glance at the map of Europe will satisfactorily show. To the towns of Hastings anti St. Leonard's the greatest advan tages must :Larne from the establishment of a railway, bringing them within two hours of the metropolis, and, through it, by the groat lines of which it is the focus, connecting them with every por tienot the country. An immense increase In the number of their opulent visitors must necessarily be the consequence, the climate of that part of the coast of Sussex being universally considered equally salubrious as the most favoured parts of Devon. The Company have in contemplation the formation of a branch from tte most convenient point on their Hastings line to Winchel sea and the town and port of Rye, or to connect that line with the Hastings and Ashford coast .line; either of which objects can be carried out at a very moderate expense, and must considerably in crease the value of the principal project. To the Inhabitants of Lewes and Brighton, the advantages to be derived from the Hastings line must be great. It will give increased facilities for the transport of the produce of the districts through which it passes, and will complete the railway communication be tween Canterbury, Maidstone, Chatham, Rochester, and other towns in the county of Kent, and Brighton, Chichester, Portsmouth, South ampton, and other important towns in the western parts of the country. The existing traffic in passengers and goods (which must be ma terially increased by the establishment of railways) are too well known to require a detailed statement In this prospectus, and caw not fail to secure to the shareholders a large interest on the capital invested. A preliminary survey of the country has been made, and no part of it has been found to offer engineering difficulties of more than or dinary character. The liability of the Shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions, and in the allotment of shares a preference will be given to landowners on the respective lines, and other parties locally interested. Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at 41. per cent. per annum, on all calls, previous to the opening of the lines. The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the power of making alterations in the line or branches, and of adopting the at mospheric principle, if advisable. They are also determined on giv ing strict attention to economy in the expenditure of the capital, and will thereby be enabled to guarantee low charges for the con veyance of passengers and goods, and there can be no reasonable doubt, that when the traffic is fairly developed, the full rate of 101. per cent. will be paid, and a surplus left for branch lines, or a reduc tion of tolls. The strong feelings in favour of a direct line evinced on the part of the public in Hastings and surrounding neighbourhood, the support of the landowners and agriculturists, with the numerous argil strong assurances received in favour of an independent Company; leave no doubt of the successful issue of an application to Parliament for an Act next session. In order that every attention may be secured to local interests, ar rangements are now being made to add the names of gentlemen of influence and property is the counties of Kent and Sussex to the Provisional Committee. Applications for shares, with a reference, may Ye made in the form annexed, to the Solicitor, or to the Secretary pro. tem., at the temporary Offices of the Company, No. 76, Basinghall-street, Lon don, and to the following Sharebrekers :—in London, Messrs.

This railway, not exceeding thirty-three miles in length, is pro tected fur the purpose of forming a junction b e t ween B os t on an d Holyhead, and uniti ng b y a direct line Lincolnshire, Derbyshire, Staftbrd, It 'wil i l enter , with the aotuales of Chester, Lancaster, and r into competition with no one of the lines at present existing or projected, but will materially add to the traffic of all, and prove to them a most valuable auxiliary. Commencing at Leek, it will form an extension of a line already in course of construction; and, passing throughlVinster and _A shover, at or near Mansfield, it will (mite with the Sheffield, Newark, and Boston, the Deity, Gainsborough, and Great Grimsby, and the Nottingham and Mansfield Railways; or, should it be considered more desirable, the point of junction may be with the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, at Rettord. Although not possible adequately to appreciate the importance of this line, a glance at the map will show that It perfects the communi cation from Bcston to Holyhead, and is called for by public necessity. At present there is no direct canal nor even an ordinary turnpike road for the purpose of transit of the various and inexhaustible pro ducts of these extensive mineral districts. On the one hand, the bulk of the cattle and other agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Not tinghamshire, and the large quantities of flour and malt made at and near to the towns of Mansfield and Newark, find their way to the western markets by circuitous routes, the cost and delay attending their transmission being enormous ; and, on the other, the products of the paint manufactories, and of the Barytes works at Ashbotume and Cromford, and other minerals, are now sent many miles out of the direct course in order to reach their destination. From its junction with so many railways, and affording a direct communication through the country from east to west, it is scarcely possible to compute the amount of passenger traffic which may be expected on this comparatively shortline. Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 41. per centum per annum on the deposit-money, as well as on all calls, from the date of each payment till the opening of the line, or until a dividend be declared ; and the liability of subscribers will be limited by the Act of Parliament to the amount of their respective shares in the undertaking.

This line will commence at the Long Eaten station of the Midland Counties Railway - , and will proceed in a direct line to or near Castle Donington, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, Measham, and Market Bosworth to Nuneaton; joining, at Market Bosworth, the Birmingham branch, projected by the Tamworth and Le icester Company, and at Nuneaton, the projected Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester Railway, at the point where that line crosses the Trent Valley line. Thus a direct communication will be formed between the important towns of Nottingham, Newark, and Lincoln on the one side, and Birmingham, Coventry, and Warwick on the other side, at the same time supplying a rich mineral and agricultural district with railway advantages. A reference to the map will show that this railway will also com mand other collateral advantages. There is no doubt that the proposed railway communication be tween Cheltenham and Warwick will be effected, in which case the proposed line will fill up the railway chasm at present existing be tween the counties of Gloucester and Worcester, and Nottingham and Lincoln, and thus form a direct line livm the Severn at Glouces ter to the Humber at Great Grimsby. An amalgamation of the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction with the Grimsby Dock Company being now determined on, a large amount of capital will be expended in rendering Great Grimsby a port of the first importance ; and it must be obvious that the traffic to that port, from the district south west of Warwick, will be vecy great. The distance saved by the proposed line between Leamington, Warwick, Coventry, and Nottingham will be about fourteen miles ; and between Birmingham and Nottingham (by either of the projected lines from Birmingham to 'Leicester) the saving will be about ten miles. Being so much the shortest route from Bi rm i ngham to Not tingham and Lincoln, it must secure the traffic from Birmingham to Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great G r i ms b y ; an d by joining with the Erewash Valley Railway at Long Eaton. it must command the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district south of those towns to Sheffield, Leeds, York, and the north of Eng'and gener'uliy. It will also afford a direct communication between Not tingham and the district between Warwick and Worcester, by means of the projected Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, and the Warwick and Worcester Railways. The entire length of the line will be under thirty miles. The Com pany's Engineer has completed his preliminary survey, and has made his report, that the character of the country through which the line is intended to pass is unusually favourable for engineering purposes. It passes directly through a very productive mineral district, in tersecting the Leicestershire coal-fields and lime-works, and will afford communication north and south, to the Derbyshire Potteries. With such an assured immediate and prospective amount of traffic, the profits on the small capital required cannot fail to be highly re munerative. Powers for all wance of interest at four per cent. on the paid-up capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the amount of their subscriptions. FCES.

The Lord Mayor received, on Wednesday, the following letter from Mr. Reele, of the Excise-office in Broad-street, relative to the person who was committed as a rogueand vagabond on Tuesday, for having fraudulently obtained alms of the Rev. Michael Gibbs, Vicar of Christ Church : " May it please your Lordship,—A case is reported in the Times of this morning relative to one George Stratford, calling himself the legitimate sen of the present Earl of Aldborough. " I beg leave most respectfully to state to your Lordship, that I have had some dealings with the above person calling himself George Stratford. Some years since he was introduced to my no tice by a highly respectable family residing in the north of Ireland. The fellow had found out the friends and connexions of the pre. sent and rightful Countess of Aldborough, whom I have had the honour of knowing for twenty years and upwards. On telling his tale, he passed himself off as the son of the Earl of Aldborough, and stated that he had been discarded by his father, and after wandering about in Belgium for some time, he had shortly before arrived in England, for the purpose of finding employment. " Upon his representation, and knowing a little of..the reputed father's history, I then clothed him, raised a subscription, and lastly procured a situation in the London Docks for him; but his habits of idleness and lying had become so notorious, that I lost all sight of the fellow for two or three years, until a few months back, when he entered my office and informed me of the Earl of Aldbo rough's decease at Carlsbad. He then named the executors, who were residing in Dublin, and told me that he was left 501. per annum by his father, finally requesting the loan of a sovereign, as he was about to leave London by the packet that day for Antwerp, tot oin his family. " Having before made up my mind that the fellow was nothing short of a thorough rogue and vagabond, subsisting by his plausible tales upon the charitably disposed in London, I desired him to leave my office, and I then addressed letters to the Countess of Aldbo rough and others living in Dublin, stating the information I had that day received, and by return of post their answers exposed the lying device, and showed that the whole of his story from begin ning to end was false ; and the present Earl of Aldborough, to the best of my information and belief, is now alive and residing at Fle rence.-1 have the honour to remain, your Lordship's most obe. dient servant, " G. REELE. " Broad.street, City, Sept. 24." Mr. Thomas Buckland and Mr. Thomas IVindle, two gentlemen who, in the neighi;ourhood of the Stock Exchange, after the closing of the inner market, had addressed each other in irritating lan. guage, and from words proceeded to blows, were brought before the Lord Mayor by a policeman, charged with having obstructed the pavement. City policeman George White (24), an active officer stationed in the vicinity of Capel-court, on account of the frequent obstructions caused by the dealings between jobbers and " stags" and " ducks," and other "such small deer," observing that there was rather an extraordinary bustle about Capel-court, went up to the spot and saw the two gentlemen fighting. Mr. Buckland was bleeding upon the ground, although neither of the combatants appeared to have any other arms than those with which nature had provided them, and the affair occasioned very great impediment to the public. The defendants said that there had been a misunderstanding between them of a private nature, and that their differences had been completely accommodated. The Loan MATOR observed, that the private misunderstandings of gentlemen must not be allowed to interfere with the conve nience of the public, and fiwed each of them 20s. Mr. George Wetenhall, the printer of " Weterihall's Stock and Sharebrokers' List," was charged With having spat several times in the face and upon the hat and clothes of Mr. F. R. Street, li. !aerials to the Stock Exchange. Mr. Street stated, that he was librarian to the Stock Exchange, and that on Saturday last Mr. Wetenhall committed the disgusting assault of spitting upon him seven or eight times. The offence was perpetrated in Leadenhall.street, at a little after two o'clock, but how to account for it witness could not at all conjecture. Mr. Wetenhall at the same time called witness a d—d stuttering scoundrel. Policeman 515 said that he heard an altercation between the gentlemen, and be saw that Mr. Street's (the complainant's) face and hat had been spat upon ; he did not see any person spit upon Mr. Street, but he heard Mr. Wetenhall call him a d—d scamp, or scoundrel. The Lone MAYOR—Did you hear Mr. Street complain of having been spat upon ? Policeman—l did. The Loan MAYOR—Did you hear Mr. Wetenhall deny that he had spat upon him ? Policeman—l did not. The LORD Mayoa— And you heard Mr. Wetenhall call him a scamp when he complained ? Policeman—l did. Mr. Wetenhall, who exhibited much impatience during this brief statement of the occurrence, declared that he had never since the day of his birth, which took place sixty years ago, done such a thing, or contemplated such a thing, as he had been accused of. But the fact was, that the complainant, who called himself libra rian to the Stock Exchange, was what was called a " stag," nothing but a " stag."—(Laughter.) Now he (defendant) was publisher of the list called " Wetenhall's List," and he certainly had received provocation to use rsugh language, and to denounce the " stag." There were gentlemen present at the time who had seen and heard more than the officer knew. The LORD MAYOR—it is in evidence, that instead of denying that you had spat upon the complainant when you were accused of hay. ing done so, you called him by an opprobrious name. Mr. Wetenhall—My Lord, the officer did not come up at the commencement. The Loan MAYOR—No, he did not see you spit upon the corn plainant, but he heard you aggravate the offence by using abusive language, instead of indignantly declaring that you had never done anything of the kind. Mr. Wetenhall—l now deny that I spat upon him. The LORD MAYOR-1 have no doubt upon the subject after what I have heard, and I fine you 10s. Mr. Wetenhall—l thank you, my Lord. BOW-SIREET. Yesterday a respectable-looking woman, named Shady, resid ing at 14, Crown street, was charged with assaulting constable 102 F. The constable deposed that, at about 11 o'clock, the defendant, and two other persons, were standing on the foot-way in Crown street, engaged in conversation, in consequence of which he re quested them to move on. They refused, and witness was pro ceeding to compel them, when the assault took place. The defendant, whose statements were corroborated on oath by her daughter and another young woman, who were the parties present, said that she was merely talking to her daughter and the other witness, opposite her own door, and without causing any obstruction, when the constable came up and ordered them off, and almost immediately afterwards pushed her (the defendant) down. She complained of this ill-treatment to the inspector at the station, but, upon the representations of the constable, was locked up all night. The inspector proved that such complaint was made. Mr. TWYFORD, after remarking that the case seemed more serious against the policeman than the defendant, gave the latter her discharge. STEAM TO NEW YORK.

LAMBETH. Yesterday the Rev. James West, a clergyman of the Church of England, who had been remanded under the name of " James Fletcher," was brought before Mr. Henry, for final examination, on a charge of illegally pawning goods from his ready-furnished apartments. Mrs. Hannah Croker, a widow, residing in Nunhead.lane, Peckham-rye, deposed, that on the 2d instant the prisoner and his wife came to lodge at her house in a ready.furnished apart ment, and remained there until the 15th. On the last-men tioned day witness, suspecting they were robbing her, asked the prisoner's wife if she had any objection to her going into the room. Mrs. West consented, but the moment she entered she and her husband ran away. Witness missed a blanket, two sheets, and a counterpane, and in consequence sent after the pri soners, who were brought back in the custody of a policeman. The blankets, sheets, and counterpane produced were her property, and were of the value of 17s. William Hammond, a police-constable, 90 F, said that on the 15th instant, in the afternoon, he looked across Peckham.rye, and saw the prisoner and his wife running as fast as they could. He pursued and stopped them, saying " What have you done ?" and the prisoner replied, " We have been stealing some sheets and pledging them, but I didn't mean to run away without paying." He said some money was due to him that night, and he intended to redeem the things when that came. He (witness) found the duplicate for the blanket and the counterpane on the prisoner, and he acknowledged to having sold the duplicates for the sheets Francis Woods, shopman to his uncle, a pawnbroker in High street, Peckham, deposed that the sheets, blanket, and counter pane had been pledged with him by the male prisoner. Hammond, the police-constable, said there were a great many persons in attendance who were sufferers by the prisoner's prac tices, but he doubted whether the offences amounted to those of a criminal nature, Mr. HENRY desired them to be called, when one, A poor hard-working man, said, that the prisoner came to his house and said he wanted a messenger to take a letter to Squire Leicester, at the west end of the town, who owed him money, and who would send some back by the bearer, and ultimately asked for the loan of a shilling. Witness, being a poor man, could ill afford to part with a shilling, but prisoner's language was so good, and his representation so plausible, that he could not refuse him, and gave him the shilling. He went with the letter to Squire Lei cester's, and was told there was no answer. While he was gone on this message, the prisoner called at his house and succeeded in getting a shilling from his wife. A gentleman, who was in Court and had been in conversation with the prisoner, here expressed a hope the magistrate would dig pose of the case summarily. Mr. HENRY replied, he could not do so. A great number of poor persons had been made sufferers, and he (Mr. Henry) should send him for trial upon the charge of unlawful pawning. While the depositions were being taken, Mr. HENRY, addressing the gentleman, remarked that, upon his former examination the prisoner had mentioned the names of some distinguished families to whom he said he was nearly related, and asked if he knew any thing about his character or history ? The gentleman replied that he did, and that his representations about his family connexions were perfectly correct. His real name was West, and he was a clergyman of the Established Church. He (the prisoner) was nephew to a nobleman holding the highest appointment in her Majesty's household, was connected by marriage with many distin guished families, and his father and mother as well as the friends of his wife were persons of large property and the highest respect.. ability, and he (the gentleman) became acquainted with him by his being professionally engaged to dispose of some property be longing to him while graduating . at Brasenose College. While at Oxford, he was picked up by a set of sharpers, and being of a most liberal disposition—indeed, lavishly so—they fleeced him. As a proof of this foolish liberality, he would mention the fact that the last 100/. he possessed as the wreck of his property, he had lent to a sporting baronet, though there was scarcely a hope of his getting it er any part of it back. By similar follies in money matters the prisoner had been reduced, no doubt, to considerable want, and his friends, in the hope, probably, of making him feel his folly, had allowed him but the small pittance of 7s. a-week, and not 11. 75., as had been stated; but still he was surprised to find him resort to any act of criminality. In extenua. tion of his offence he begged to say, that he (the gentleman) had had a communication with Mr. Leicester, the gentleman whose name had been mentioned, and he assured him he had forwarded a sovereign by the post, for the prisoner's use, but It had never reached him. Had he received it he would not have been under the necessity of pawning the things, or, having pawned them, might have redeemed them in time to prevent discovery. Mr. HENRY asked if the prisoner had ever done duty as a clergy. man ? The gentleman replied that he had, and said it was only a short time since he was called upon to officiate at the east end of the metropolis, and gave such satisfaction to the congregation, that he might have gone on exceedingly well had it not been for the ex posure to which his poverty had subjected him. It appeared that at a meeting where several of the clergymen of the parishes in the vicinity attended, his (the prisoner's) name happened unfortunately to be mentioned, when one said he had lent him a shirt and cravat to preach in, which he never returned ; another mentioned giving him some money, which he never repaid ; and the exposure altogether was such, that the gentleman who was in the habit of getting him to officiate felt compelled to discontinue doing so. Since his commitment his friends had forwarded him some money; and he had no doubt that, after this, something permanent would be done for him. Mr. HENRY observed he could make no distinction between the case of the prisoner and any other person, and under all the circum stances it might be much better for the prisoner himself that he should be committed, as it would bring his case to a crisis that would lead to something permanent being done for him by his friends. He (Mr. Henry), however, should admit him to bail in two sureties of 401. each to answer the charge at the sessions. The prisoner was then committed for trial, and the witnesses bound over in the usual way to prosecute. SOUTHWARK. Yesterday two of the churchwardens, accompanied by the vestry. clerk of St. George's, Southwark, waited on Mr. Cottingham for the purpose of soliciting his advice under the following circum. stances. One of the churchwardens stated that for sone time past several of the inhabitants of St. George's parish have received anonymous letters, containing threats against their lives, and that in some in stances the writer of them had inclosed poison. The communica. tions containing the poison were addressed to the daughters of a merchant and two other persons, and couched in language most affectionate, to the following effect : "My dear Elizabeth,—l have sent you some powders, which I received as a present from France. You will find them as a drink very delicious, being flavoured with melon, which you will greatly admire, and will do you a great deal of good. I shall call to see you in a day or two." The applicant stated that the powders alluded to were oxalic acid, and that fortunately all the letters containing them had fallen into the hands of the parents of those to whom they were traasmitted through the post. The perpetrator, finding his designs frustrated, then commenced sending more anonymous letters of the most dia bolical and revolting nature, not only threatening to murder the children, but the parents likewise, and in some instances to set fire to their houses. A Mrs. Spriggs, the wife of a respectable shop keeper, living in White-street, has been particularly selected out as a victim by the anonymous slanderers. A letter in reference to her, transmitted by post to Mr. Stead, the parish-clerk, was handed to the magistrate. It was as follows: " Sir,—l should take it as a very great favour if you would say the following few words just before you utter the words ' Let us sing to the praise and glory of God,' which will be about half-past seven o'clock on Sunday evening, September 28, 1845,—` It will be considered sacrilege if Mrs. Spriggs enters this or any other church after to.night, as she has attempted the life of her child;' and if you do not say it—and this is no idle threat—as true as there is a Heaven above, I will set fire to the church, and by half past seven next Sunday week, Oct. 5, 1845, the church shall be one mass of smoking ruins; and, mind you, I will attend on pur pose to hear if you do say the words, or at least something to the purpose.—l am, Sir, your very humble and obedient servant, " Sept. 22. `• .p. Several other letters were placed before Mr. Cottingham, and after perusing them and examining them, he was of opinion, al. though there was a difference in the character of the writing, still that they were all by the same writer. The MAGISTRATE inquired if any steps had been taken to trace out the writer of those letters T—The churchwarden replied, that efforts had been used for that purpose; that the thing had con. tinned for the last few months scarcely without intermission ; that many families residing in the parish had been thrown into a state of considerable alarm owing to thecircumstance; and that a reward of 401. had been offered for the discovery of the offender, but as yet without success. An inspector of the M division said that Sir James Graham had been made acquainted with the circumstanees some time since, and that the Commissioners of Police had given Instruc. tions to employ some of the detective police for the purpose of discovering the writer of the letters, but that notwithstantl',",, g exertions had been used for the purpose, still they wert . unsuccess. ful; that even since the police were engaged in the affair letters of a similar tendency, and containing poison, had been sent to families in the Borough. The MAGISTRATE then inquired, as It appeared Mrs Spriggs was one of the persons apinst whom threats of the most violent nature were made, whether she had any reason for suspecting any person in her husband's employ as the writer of the shocking epistles produced ? The inspector said that inquiries of that nature had been already made of that lady, and it was found that no such suspicion was entertained against any member of her household. Mr. Corrusnus,m, addressing the churchwardens, said that in answer ;(1 their applicution every exertion should be used for the purpose of detecting and bringing to justice the miscreant. He would not be satisfied with a policeman merely watching for a few hours in the day about a particular post.office where the letters were posted, in order to discover the writer, but he should give . . directions that the most rigid inquiry should be instituted, ld D at: e l that instead of employing one policeman , three at least shou engaged in the discovery of this offender of the worst description.
