Elizabeth Bacon, 15, was indicted for feloniously set ting tire to the dwelling-house of William Adams with intent to injure him. Mr. Johnson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Cobbett defended the prisoner. The case was one of rather an extraordinary character. William Adam., the son of the prosecutor, deposed that he lived in the same house with him at Pagham near Chichester. At the time the occurrence took place which f ermed the subject of the inquiry the prisoner had been its their service about a fortnight. On the night of the 9th of May he went so bed about eleven o'clock. His bedroom adjoined thst in which his sisters slept, and before he went to sae •re all the lights in the house ware extinguished. He was awoke about halt-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 tissues. He immediately got up and - went to his sisters' roo m , an d h e sa w that the curtains of their bed were also on fi re , and a quilt also appeared to have been thrown over the banisters, and that was on fire, and it had ignited th e s t a i rc ase. He saw the I prisoner shortly afterwards, and she said that two men had been into her bedroom, and that they had taken part of the clothes oft her bed. In consequence of something that was afterwards told hint he subsequently went into the privy in the garden, and there found one lof 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. COBBETT—Witness was not in the habit of walking in his sleep. The first thing he saw of the pri soner was her coming up stairs 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 froth her daughter's bedroom, and everything was quite safe when she and her husband went to bed. Soon after they had got into their bedroom she heard a door abut 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's bedroom, she saw the curtains iu flames. The quilt, which was on the banisters, belonged to the pri soners' bed, and it had been taken from her room since the previous night. Upon locking user the house witness found that the box of the prisoner which contained her wearing apparel had been taken from her room and placed down stairs close to the back door. Having heard what the prisoner had 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 be nothing missing, and the prisoner at that time made no answer, but shortly afterwards she said that a loaf had 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 had 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, he 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 had lain upon it. When he 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 case was one certainly of 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 diabolical act, and said that the statements made by her were evidently given while she was in a state 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 to 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 committcd: t,e act with which she was charged. As to the fire beintwilfa he apprehended there could be no doubt of that famt, from the evidence showing that these 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 in the d e ad of the night and act fire to her master's house in t h r ee 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 a very short deliberation, returned verdict of Guilty, but tit the same time strongly recom mended the prisoner to mercy on account of her youth and previous good character. The CHIE2 BARON said the recommendation should certainly be attended to to the full, st extent. Thomas Hughes, 18, and Thomas Claridge, 15, were indicted for a burglary in the dwelling-house of Hannah Brogden, and steelin g a wor kb o x, a corkscrew, and so me plated articles; and Sabina Sainsbury, 17, was charged with feloniou s ly rece i v i ng a portion of the pro perty, knowing it to have been stolen. Mr. Johnson prosecuted. The prosecutrix in this case, it appeared, is a widow lady residing at Friars' Oak, about 10 miles from Brighton. The robbery in question was committed on the night of . the 4th of July, and on the following day the three prisoners went to a beershop at Brighton, and prisoners and other housebreaking r were ap the woman was proved to have given a tablecloth—one of the articles that had been stolen—to a woman to pledge, and underneath her bed there were also found other portions of the stolen property. The two male apprehended afterwards afterwards by Berwick, a superintendent of the Worthing police; and, upon their other indictments o u t ni them, e foundbeing searched a plated salver and a corkscrew were a e o s a w fn e s l t l t a h s a centre . bit, severalfi a le n s d , implements. There were four nt prisoners for burglary receiving ; and, notwithstandin g the youth of the male prisoners, there was no doubt I' they . were practised thieves,. and that they had been 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 be tr ansported for 10 years, an d Cl ar id ge an d Sainsbury to be kept to hard labour;, the former 12 and the latter for 9 months. AA the • prisoners were going down the steps leading from the dock, Hughes struck the girl Sainsbury a vio lent blow on the head which appeared to fell her to the ground. It was stated by the police that the reason for his committing 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 feloniously stabbing George Smart, with intent to murder him. Mr. Johnson prosecuted and Mr. Creasy defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner was a labourer living at Slinden, arid, 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 s 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 offered 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 in upon the occasion, described the injury, and also stated P that it was a very rare occurrence for any one to recover from such a wound , and he attributed that result in the he extraordinary good constitution present instance to t of the prosecutor. risoner " Guilt of wounding with intent to do grievous bodily harm." His LORDSHIP, in passing sentence, told the prisoner that he might consider himself very fortunate that he bar to answer a charge of mur der,was not standing at the h ad dted he did not see how and if the prosecutor om being found guilty of that he could have escaped fr crime. The use of a knife was at all times cowardly and un-English, and in all cases of this description where a conviction took place k the safety of the public required that Is severe exampl e should be made of the offender. He then sentenced the prisoner to be trans ported for ten'years. NORFOLK ClllCU . ll .—Cumbridge, July 23. CROWN COURT.---(Bvtore Mr. Justice PATTESON.) with", Shaw, a ged 24, was indict e d f or f e l on i ous l y stabbing Robert Wi lson on the 2i th of June last. Mr. Naylor prosecuted, and Mr. Metcalfe defended the prisoner. Th e prosecutor is a travelling packinai, and it ap peared, that having some months back sold a gown piece for 6 s. to the wife of the prisoner. h e , w h en go uzi , his rounds in Ju ne last, called on him for th a t d e bt, and also 10s. 4 d. w hich he owed to his brother-in-law. The br prisoner ead on was d then engaged in the act o f ea ti ng some cheese, and had an open knife in his hand. The demand for both debts somewhat nettled him, for he indignantly disputed the debt, and threatened to turn the prosecutor 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 curt you; and if you do not pay then I will clap you NO gaol." This threat so. excited the prisone-, who was of exceed ingly small stature, that he seized the poker, and com menced an attack on his creditor. who in a trice twisted the poker out of his haud, and flinging it into the cor ner of the room, again demanded hs money. Just at that moment the prisoner's wife came to his rescue, and picking up the poker replaced it in his haul. The presecutor then, who was a stout Northumbrian, think ing thinks were getting rather serious, closed with his pugnacious creditor, and lifting him, poker and all, otT the floor, placed hire on a bench, when, despite his ut most resistance cud the outcries of his indignant spouse, he proceeded to wrest the poker from his grasp. When thus engaged, he received a rhea 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 he had had the prosecutor's " heart's blood." On the part of the prisoner it was contended that he had a right to turn the prosecutor out of his house by force if he would not leave quietly, and, though the use of the poker was not to be justified, yet it was t) be considered that the prisoner was no match for his oppo nent, who woald 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 beach, 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 PArrEsox 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 -clear 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-lesi would he be justified in using a knife, even though he happened to have it open in his hand, during the scuffle for the possession of the poker. Under all the circum stances of the case, it would be 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 beiore them. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of the felony; and, after a kind and warm admonition on the part of the Learned Judge, be 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, • Equerry to the Queen,land 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, he would do him some injury. Colonel Grey stated that from the month of January until the 4th inst. he received four letters from the pri soner, directed to his Royal Highness, which, in his belief, conveyed threats that he would do him 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 entertain 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 thick that Prince Albert was willing to eon tribute to a fund for my relief, to which the Earl of Zea 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 threat 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 ters, ere you willing to admit that they are in your hand writing? 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 kindless 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. I was also told by Mr. Hope that if he saw Lord Monteagle's name in the list he would subscribe, and I am firmly convinced that if the signature of his Royal Highness appeared it would in a great measure influence others. Mr. JARDINE inquired if it was to be understood that a prosecution would be instituted in the case, or was the object of having the prisoner apprehended simply to have him held to bait? Mr. Raven, chief clerk in the office of Mr. Mauls, 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," &c.; and as such expressions were very likely to cause alarm in the mind of any one to whom they were 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 the prisoner should be called upon to enter into such sureties as the Court should deem 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 sound state of mind. Mr. JARDINE said he was not competent to enter into the 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 te pre vented from doing any harm; in addition to which an avowal to that effect having been made, the prisoner could not consider it a hardship on being required to find sureties, himself in the sum of 200/., and two others in 1501. each, to be of giood 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 establiibment to the state of his mind. TVESTMIASTER. 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 of the keeper of the Westminster Scholars' 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? Defendant replied—Cricketer and butcher. Mr. BRODERIP observed that before going into this case he felt it his duty, considering the . rank 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 came to the conclusion that the assault alleged had been committed, the utmost penalty he could impose would be a fine of 5/., and any person so charged, it the matter were disposed of summarily, might consider they had a right to amuse themselves by committing assaults of this description by putting their hands in their pockets and paying that sum. lie had no objection to dispose of the matter summarily, but that he felt that in these cases it became a mockery, as a person possessing the means of paying the penalty he had mentioned might commit such offences with a degree of impunity. He therefore determined upon sending the matter to the sessions. Mr. Somers thanked the magistrate for his considera tion, and expressed his willingness to leave the case en. tirely in his hands. Ile had no vindictive feeling against the defendant; but he felt that a most atrocious, cowardly, and assassin-like assault had been committed upon him. lie bad 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 him 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 tt, there was no evening sitting I walked homewards with a friend, and when I got within sight of my own resi dence, 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, who were playing in the centre of the ground. . [PRICE SD. There were two men sitting on chairs near the gat:, smoking pipes, one of whom I believe to be the de fend Ant. He had a cap on, but no coat. He accost< d me in a very insolent manner, and said I had no busi ness there with my dog. I replied the dog was doing no harm merely rolling on the grass, when h e sa id, " Take your dog a aasy, or I will bundle you both out of the place." I replied, "My goad fellow, do net by angry; keep your temper; there is no harm done. I came here for the plop ,se of taking him ow," upon which he juinre up out of his chair and cud ienly ad ;mead taw.sr,ls me in a very menacing attitude, which led me to expect he was L ;oits to strike me, and al though I was very unwell, and had been so :or Some days before, which I can di.tinetly prove, and had my great coat on my arm, I Wa3 prepared to resist the assault, and when he came within reach of me I made a blow at him, which he asoided by keeping out of dis tance. My friend then interposed and said, " This gen tleman flood 3ou no insult. What right have you to attaels him?" upon which he became very violent acrd struggled very mach 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, hut 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 had occurred, holding one of the bars of 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 oil 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 public 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 fight it out. John Abbot, pianoforte-maker, said that he was pass ing on the evening in question, 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 bow 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 he struck, as described, did the complainant use any threatening ges ture towards him? Witness—He did not; he was speak ing to the scholars. If he had defendant could not have seen it, as he had fallen back and was behind the scholars at the time. Mr. BRODERIP—What was the effect of the blow? Witness—He bled profusely, as it appeared to me, from the nose and mouth; and I should say his eye would be black the next day from the effect of the blow. Defendant—That was the beginning as far as you saw ? Witness—As far as I saw. Dtfendant—Did you hear me make use of any dis gustiog language ? Witness—l did. James Lottall, 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 gentkman's face bled a great deal, and he made sure at the time that he was much injured. Mr. Somers—Before ho struck the blow did he make use of any observation P Witness—He said he would punch his head. _ _ _ Mr. Somers—Any more ? Witness I don't know. Cross examined by detendant —I 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 sta!ement throughout. lie interposed, and held the defendant, as has Lean described, to prevent anything unpleasant o:.- currini:,r, and endeavourel to persuade defendant before the blow was et. uck, to be quiet. He handed defendant over, after having held him, to prevent any violence, to some females at the lodge, and then went outside. Wi - nev.s described defendant's rushing forward and striking the blow like a flash of lightning—it was so quick; and dvelared he never saw a more cowardly blow struck in his I.fe. The effect of the blow was so severe that, had it not been for.heinorrhage, he thought that Mr..Sutners would not have been able to attend to Ptsrliamentury duties for some time. Witness said that the scholars were so excited that he was afraid that if the gate were opened, thvy (he and Mr. tioiners) would h ave been attacked by them with their cricket-bats. Mr. B ,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 ILI used in evidence against him, observed that he was not going to try this case, anol the accused might therefore make his defence, or reserve it, as he thought proper. Delendant—Mayl call some witnesses? Mr. BRODERIPLNot 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 bt f.,re a jury, where an ample opportunity will be afforded you of producing evidence in your behalf, but if you hare an 3 thing that you wish to tay I am ready to hear you. ll,:tendant—Then I would rather decline saying any thing at present. _ Mr. BtODERIP—It is my duty to call upon you for sureties, yi urself in 601 and two in 301. each, for your appearance to answer for this violent and cowardly as sault alleged against you. Mr. Somers and witnesses having been bound over to prosecute, retired. The defendant, having put in the required bail, was liLerated. £183,005 7 3 Dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum, for the half-year ending 31st December, 149, already paid £3,879 0 10 Dividend at ditto for the half•year ending 30th June, 1830 - - - - - - - Bonus of 7s. 6d. per share on 6,739 shares - - Rebate of interest cn current bills carried to profit 4,043 8 0 2,527 2 6 2,064 3 9 and loss new account - - - Balance carried to the guarantee fund, making that fund £14,982 3 i 'Balance brought down - £14,982 3 8 PARLIAMENTARY' DIVISIONS.

The ninth half-yearly rneetieg of this company was held yesterday, at the company's offices, Stekc-upen- Trent. There was a much smaller attendance than at the two or three previous meetings of the company. J. L. Ricardo, aq., M.P., presided. The directors' report having been re ad, The CHAIRMAN, after soliciting a fair hearing for any statements 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 epee eions, inasmuch as his tongue was in a great measure loosened as to the political actions of the direction, and he was enabled to stele to them what had been done, and to indicate what remained to be dune in respect to the policy to be pursued by this company. Hitherto the directors had not been able to explain their ac ions in regard to the oppoeents with wham they had had to contend. Referring shortly to the past history of the line, the Chairman alluded to the period when Mr. Glyn had re commended the necessity of this company's atealgemating with the Churnet Valley, which recoen m,eiation had been odopte-d, under the beget that it they r, nu:lined independent cl the Chure et Valley Company, tots company would have had the uppositem of the Lyndon and Birmingham Cempeny ; and than, ender the t Tens of a previous agree silent, they would then have a right to demand from that company the direct Man se:ester traffic.—(llenr, hear.) When the amalgamation with the Gland Junction and the Manchester and Bir mingham Companies was proposed, an agreement to that effect was proposed to this company, which it was to be regretted had not been secured uncle r ihe signs - nre of fee chairman of those two companies. Uncer 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 Comprne, and which had 'been laid before the shareholders, would show that they were cluing everything they could to carry out the arrangement for securing that traffic upon the most amicable terms. The arrangement which they had new 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 trom 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 from 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 hi 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 fur 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 own 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 3,0001., while tho receipts of the railway were only 2:000/. If, with the support of the shareholders, the directors were en a bled eto carry out their views, hfelt 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.—(Applituse.) The CHAIRMAN then proposed the adoption of the report, which was seconded by Mr. R. C. SHARP, vice chairman of the company. General I.3iticcs 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 that very elaborate document, condemning the reckless ex penditure which had been incurred in the erection of stations, fee., the present extravagant .salaries, and other points of the policy of the managemeut. While taking these objections, the speaker said that he had great hopes of the line, and believed that it would, at nu distant day, realize the expectations of the shareholders. Mr. TAuNTure, entailer member of the committee of investigation, seconded the resolution, adding his con demnation of the proceedings of the directors, end urging the necessity of a reconstitution of the beard, with it s reduction from titte‘en to nine members. It was impos sible that tile shareholders could ever have fall confidence in the board until they saw the men of property resident in the neighbourhood exercise a legitimate iitflaenee thereupon, and until the large mess ef shareholders resi dent in Loedon 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. Codas:, barrister, suggested that the original mo tion should be allowed to be curried. It was needless longer to dispute when it was universally agreed that the directors were honourable, the officers e fficient, 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. Mr. STOCK, of Leeds, characterised the report of the committee as one of the most milk-and-water description. It contained no suggestions a hich were truly valuable, but such as the directors were ready themselves to make. After the blustering of the previous meeting, he was ashamed of the report, and of the gentlemen who thus c_ime forward and 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 committee. The CHAIRMAN said the passage alluded to in the re port was constructed in the defence of the directors from insinuations contained in the committee's.) tlf 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 mutter should drop, and no would consider that no insinuation had been made against the directors by the committee. General BRIGGS said, they did not impute to the di rectors a want of integrity, but a want of judgment. The motion for the adoption of the report was then put and unanimously carried. Load LIARROWBY, without pledging himself to any of the details in the report of ;.he committee, moved a vote of thanks to them for their services, which was carried. The seal having been affixed to the registry of share hoHere, The CHAIRMAN replied to the sort of charge preferred by Mr. Taunton against the Earl of Shrewsbury. Mr. Ricardo said —‘• A snore 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 unfair and improp,r: it is a most unfair attack, and never ought to have been uttered or made. Now it is always usual, when a Bill is before Ptirlia ment, the affect of which wil. be to injure a great lend owner's property, that a sp,(ific sum shall be specified by way of compensation; and is any property in the kingdom injured more than another by a railway, it is that very beautiful estst_, called Alton Towers. Th , n sum of 20,000/. was agreed upon by the Churnet Valley Company let fore we amalgamated with them; and I believe that Lord Shrewsbury never gave a vote in Parliament on the u ject of this railway in his life.— (lle.tr, hear.) His Lordship has made all sorts df con cessi-ns to us; he has lent to us every possible facility. Th In e runs for four miles through his property, close to his pleasure grounds, and he has opened his gat dens to cat rtr p 3. I believe that the 20.0001. which had been converted in debentures was a fair sum to be pad to Lord Shrewsbury, as times went when the estimate was fixed; and he, for one, would never he the man '0 endeavour to set , uch azreertrnt aside. Inrd Shrews bury had never himself interfered in the m tter in his life." Mr. TAUNTON subsequently in part explained away his accusation. but ho considered that the 20,0001. paid as compcmtvion was excessive. 'file retiring directors ware re-elected. The motion for declaring a dividend of Is. 6d. per share was put and lost, so that the surplus of revenue stands over to the credit of the ensuing half-year. General BRIGGS moved a vote of thanks to the Chair man, which was carried, and then Mr. Ilicxs, of Halifax, said that something more than a mere formal vote was necessary ou this occasion. In this spirit he moved the following That this meeting cannot separate without expressing their high opinion of the beard of directors, and their full confi&nce in their upright and honourable conduct in the management of the affairs of the railway." General BRicos seconded this mo:ion, and it was car ried by acclamation. The CHAIRMAN—We came here prepared to offer our t r ,is e i s s ig e n x a p i r ° e u s:i . on Woif a y r o e . c r o It c; , o n d t , w h i o l w i; e v a ( o , r d , w t . u h tn remain w you c i a t n h find better men we shall gladly retire from your service.

THE SHRIEVALTY OF THE CITY OF LONDON. Yesterday, at the Court of Common-hall, at the con clusion of the proceedings for the day at three o'clock, the numbers for sheriff were declared as being—tor Mr. Ilialgkiuson 314, for Mr. Butler 90. Mr. Secondary James, with Mr. Millard, the under-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 persons present that he had, on the day named for the opening of the proceedings, nominated Mr. Charles Salisbury Butler us 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 to fill the office, and that, in conclu sion, be begged any parties who might to friendly to him to vote against him. The facts of the case were simply these:—He (Mr. Low) had entered the ball for the pur pose of attending to his general duties, when a letter has put into his bands signed by the clerk or the Hosiers' Company, which was to the eff.2ct that he (the clerk) had no reason to doubt that Mr. Butler, of Upper Clapton, would serve during the ensuing mayoralty if be was ap proved of. The letter was addressed to Alderman Mus grove, and given to him (Mr. Low) on his entrance into the hall. I❑ consequence of this, he (Mr. Low), having same personal knowledge of Mr. Butler, and knowing him to be a respectable gentleman and a magistrate for the county of Middlesex, did not hesitate to propose that gentleman for sheriff; but it appeared by Mr. Butler's le'ter that he opposed any such proceedirg. All he (Mr. Low) would say was that he had done his duty, and that he considered no blame in the matter was im putable to hits.—(Hear, bear, and cheers.) If there was any blame it rested upon the shoulders of other parties.—(Hear, hear.) Deputy HARRISON said, that it had been with much pleasure that he had proposed the name of his neigh bour, Mr. llodgkinson, to fill the office of sheriff. He must say, however, that he felt hurt at what had taken place, as Mr. Alderman Carden had failed in the pro mise ho had deliberately made to support Mr. Hodg kinson. He (Deputy Harrison) hoped, however, that the Livery would see the ad, sintage 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 all-im portant subject of religion. To bear, in the midst of the din and deba a of modern controversy, a voice from the grave pronouncing . upon the questions so much agitated in the pre sent day, wi 1 be a surprise to all, and to manv, we d )übt not, a source of much comfort. The composition of the present work originated in the desire felt, by the learned and pious author, to satisfy his own mind concerning the foanda tlons of his faith, at a period which must have proved one cf intense trial and distress to every earnest mind. Evelyn took in hand to review the whole subject of religion, tracing it to its fountain-head, and scrutinizing at evrery step the evidence on which it rests. The views an principles advo cated in these volumes arc 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 (7.fffer ences, and to the vindication of the principles of our Church, alike against Rotnish superstition and latitudinarian un belief.'
