CROWN COURT.—(Bcfore Mr. Justice WIGHI"MAN.) Henry Wright, a respectable-looking man, and the keeper of a public-house in Chadwick-greet, was in dicted for the manslaughter of John Sangster, on the 13:h of last July. Mr. Murphy and Mr. Brett appeared for the prosecu tion, and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Pollock for the defence. examined lt appeared that from F om r th idy e a, the 12th o f July, an Orange evidence o f th e various witnesses procession was formed i n a part of Liverpoo l c hi e fl y in habited by the I r i s h population, which proceeded down Chad wick.street, headed by a boy playing on a fife va-- rious tunes having an exciting effect on Irish tempera ments—amongst them " Garry Owen," " Croppies lie down," and " St. Patrick's day in the morning." The prisoner kept a public-house in that street. The ex citing tunes of the Orange procession produced their na tural effect on the Irish Roman Catholics, and led to a riot, in the course of which th e h ouse of the Prisoner, he being a Protestant, was attacked, and by brickbats and stones nearly all the windows were driven in. On the following night (Saturday) the prisoner, apprehending another attack upon his house, went to the police-station and asked for protection, and he then told the inspector of police that if his house were attacked again he would fire on the mob. He was advised not to do this, and the inspector and four policemen %gut the prisoner's house and disper s ed a crowd which - had' ys collected there. Not apprehending any disturbance, the four policemen were left to patrea the street. A disturbance, however, did take place, the police, as the Learned Sergeant de scribed them, maintaining their character for .‘ invisible blue," as when it did take place no policemen were there, and none of the rioters were apprehended. A number of boys, headed by a lad playing a fife, came down the street, and when opposite the prisoner's house com menced throwing stones at the windows. At this time two shots were heard from a window in the prisoner's house, and according to the testimony of some of the police, 500 people were collected in front of it, whilst some of the Irish witnesses who heard the shots fired swore it was the prisoner who fired them, and that the street was perfectly quiet and no crowd in it at all, but that the prisoner leaned out of his window for half an hour with a short blunderbuss in his hand, crying out to " the b— Papists" to come on, until a crowd col lected to look at him. One of the shots, however, struck the deceased, who was accidentally passing, and killed him. A man named Ross, who was standing under the railway arches, was struck by a shot in the leg and wounded, and a boy named Moon, who was in the crowd, was also wounded in the arm. At the time when the shots were fired no policemen were present. The prisoner's house was afterwards searched, and in it were found a blunderbuss and a pistol, both loaded with heavy slugs. The deceased, it appeared, had been struck by a bullet or slug on the knee, and it became necessary to amputate his leg, and he died from the result of the wound on the 3d of the present month. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. Sergeant WILKItis then addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner with great power and eloquence, commenting on the disgraceful and unnatural warfare between faction and faction introduced by the Irish po pulation into Liverpool, which had led to the catastrophe they were then inquiring into. It was lamentable to see religion made the groundwork and excuse for acts such as these, so widely severed from that peace and brotherly kindness and charity which Christianity taught. The ' Learned Sergeant then contended that the evidence was so contradictory, and the testimony of most of the wit. nessea so little to be relied on, that there was no satis factory evidence that the shot was fired by the prisoner. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, said the conduct of the police had been most discreditable. Notwithstand. The prisoner in reply to the charge said that be had been first assaulted by Mr. Harvey and his friends. This was positively denied, and the prisoner was con victed in two penalties of 31. each, or two months' im prisonment, and for a third offenca (thut of assaulting the constable), he was sent to prison for one month. The ruffian on leaving the dock said the police had bettor hang him at once. rectors was a fair and proper measure.—(Hear.) He did not think that Mr. Swift would succeed in his threa tened opposition. He ohj• cteci in 10€) to the appoint ment of a committee, because that would give Mr. Smith an opportunity of getting the materials he wantrd, and therefore he hoped they would unanimously reject the amendment..

Mr. NASNITII seconded the amendment of Mr. Sw ift. Mr. Jostau WILSON expressed his anxiety to avoid litigation, and was proceeding to call the attention of the meeting to certain alleged illegal matters, when con sid.rable uproar and cries of " Question" ensued, which induced him to proceed no further. Mr. SWIFT contended that the company had power in the money Bill to pay interest out of the new capital. After some further observations and explanations, the amendment proposed by Mr. Swift was put, and lost by a large majority. Mr. SWIFT demanded a poll, which he afterwards con sented to withdraw, in consequence of an explanation from the chairman that it would only be a waste of time, because the directors had received an overwhelming majority of proxies in favour of the measure, which an nouncement was received with great applause. An amendment, proposed by Mr. LONGMORE and se conded by Mr. SMITH, to the effect that a committee be appointed to confer with the directors as to the most equitable mode of dealing with the No. 3 and 4 shares, was rejected by a large majority. The original motion was then carried, admitting the No. 3 and No. 4 shares to participate in the general di vidends of the company. Mr. MACLAURIN said, if the directors had consented to the proposal of Mr. Swift, he should have considered them to be no longer worthy of the confidence of the shareholders. The company bad to contend against fourteen different companies, and he thought the di rectors were entitled to very great praise for the manner in which they had defended the company and promoted its interests. —(Applause.) The proceedings concluded with a cordial rote of thanks to the chairman and directors for their manage ment of the company's affairs. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TA TTERSALL'S —YESTERDA Y.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Darlington on Wednesday. Mr. T. Meynell, jun., oc cupied the chair. The report stated the coal revenue during the first half of the present six months was, from peculiar cir cumstances, much less than might have been expected; but a very satisfactory change had since taken place, and the revenue of the month of May, viz, 17,4251., was the largest ever entered upon their books. The increase in the receipts for the half-year amounts to 20,536/. The gain upon the last twelve months, after paying the in terest on loans, is found to be 28,4131., against 14,2421., the gain of the previous year. Arrangements have been made with many townships for reduced rating, and an amicable agreement with nearly all the 5 per cent. bond holders for a lower rate of interest. There still remains a balance of undivided profit out of former years. A sum of about 2,000/., in addition would be required to enable the directors to pay a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. per annum. The capital account showed that 1,032,3801. had been received, and 979,753/. expended, leaving a bAlance of 52,627/. The revenue account showed that 82,426/. had been received during the half year ending June 30, and 51,901/. expended, leaving a talance of 13,1401. after paying 17,3771. interest on tho company's bonds. A NITARY IMPROVEMENTS, LOWE'S P A TENT STENCH-TRAP-GRIDS ; or, Effluvia- Trap Sewer Gratincts, for Public Sewers, and Drains in Houses, Yards, Gardens, Courts, Passages, Cellars, and Sink Stones, 'The advantages of the Patent Stench-Trap-Grids over the bell, syphon, flap, or drop traps, consist in their combining, in a simple, cheap, and compact form, a sewer or sough grating, an effluvia trap, a sediment trap, and a vermin trap, altogether ; they are the only effluvia trap which can be cleansed without allowing the effluvia to escape. The simplicity of their construction, the ease with which trey are cleansed, their durability, perfect efficiency, and cheap ness, recommend them to the notice of corporations; surveyors, builders, contractors, architects, and all persons interested in the sanitary improvement of towns, and to the occupiers of all houses where the drainage is connected with the main sewers. The late ➢lr. Joseph Lowe, the inventor and patentee, was for many years practically connected with the management of sewers, as Superintending Surveyor to the Board of Surveyors of the High ways, and Borough Surveyor to the Cerporation of Salford, in which town upwards of ene thousand of these girds are nosy fixed. They are now being used by the corporations, surveyors, commis sioners of sewers, or local boards of health, in London, and the prin cipal cities and towns in the kingdom. Printed lists of testimonials will be forwarded on application. A. LOWE and CO., Patentees. The CHAIRMAN said it appeared that the total amount of profit, alter paying interest on loans, was only 14,2001.; they had now, however, during the last twelve months, 28,4001., or double the former amount ; and since the accounts had been made up the rate of increase was still continuing. The income for July had exceeded that of the corresponding months of the previous year by 10,0001. They had reduced the interest upon nearly the whole of the company's 5 per cent. loans, which would effect a saving to the company of ❑early 1,0001. a yelir. As regarded assessments, they had agreed with 13 townships for a considerable reduction of the rates—a reduction from 30,0001. to half that amount having been effected. The benefits of these arrangements, however, were entirely prospective, as during the past half-year the costs of the appeals, i nstea 1 of effecting any reduc tion, had rather augmented the expenses. The board left it entirely to the shareholders to say whether a di vidend of 4 per cent. should be declared, or whether they should suspend their dividends and wait until an inert rt,e of trade, of which they had the prospect, would enable thew, without trenching upon the reserved fund, to pay the interest on their guaranteed lines, and likewise divide a profit on their own shares. Ho con cluded by moving that the report and accounts be re ceived and adopted. Mr. PLEws said he would prefer a small dividend to in any manner infringing on the reserved fund. After a desultory discuskion the report and accounts were adopted, and a dividend at the rate of 4 per cent. pe,r annum was declared. _ Salford, July 1, 1850.

By the operation of the same principles, the Society is enabled to 4fford to the public a plan of Deferred Annuities far more advanta ;eons than any hitherto offered, whereby an individual, by the con tcibittion of a very small annual, monthly, or weekly saving, may se cure either a comfortable provision for himself in advanced age, or, at his option, a large sum of money, or a policy to his family at his death ; while by giving to the purchaser, at any time, the power of borrowing two-thirds of all previous payments, it removes all risk of forfeiture from inability to continue premiums, besides affording en ample resource during sickness and want of employment ; and should the purchaser die before arriving at the stipulated period, two thirds of his payments will be returned to his representatives. The following Table is a specimen of the great and varied advan tages which the judicious application of a small saving can secure through this Society. I. BENEFITS 11. PREMIUMS To secure on attain.

The complainant stated that he is in the employment of Messrs. Sanders and Co., wholesale cheesemongers, Coll4)ga-o°d-street, Blacktriars-read, and that about half-past nine o'clock that morning he left their ware house with a canvass ba g conta i n i ng cas h i n sovere i gns , 1 Bank of England notes, and silver, amounting to 3571., for the purpose of depositing it in the London and West minster Bank. He carried the bag in his hands, and proceeded from Collingwood-street down Holland-street, and along Bankside, until he came to a narrow passage having a gate or door to it, leading to St. Saviour's Dock, and within a short distance of St. Saviour's Church, the nearest way to the Southwark branch of the London and Westminster Bank in Wellington street; where he was going. He, however, had scarcely entered the passage mentioned when he was attacked by the prisoner and two other men, one of whom struck his bat down over his eyes, a n d at t h e same moment the bag containing th e money was pulled out o f h i s hand, and he was kn oc k e d down by a blow on the side of the head. The attack was so sudden and unexpected that he had scarcely time to see his assailants, but he contrived while lying on the ground to push his hat from over his eyes, alth oug h he received several v i olent kicks, and then had a f u ll opportunity of seeing the pri soner and two other men attempt to make their escape , by running away. They ran in different direetions, and ' although he bad sustained considerable injuries he jumped up and pursued the prisoner, as be distinctly saw that he had the bag containing the money, calling out " Stop thief," as he hurried along. In the course of the prisoner's career he approached a flour manufactory, at the gates of which several of the workmen were sta tioned, and on finding that preparations were made to hi d n e of f we e r n ei v e o e e r r i:nes several pointe resistra inaal a nnepi :efet, the ,nrt scbsaeoci r ati nr e ygise : b ; shwt a p hafda l oon s red i ib n nme a aremy a s ni t ei ' ds Palmer,wti strength. aa h nt e o ciey stop him, he then changed his route, and ran up an alley, through which there was no thoroughfare, and on meeting with this impediment to his further progress in that direction, he bolted into the passage of a house, the door of which was open, and there stood in a posture of , attracted w s ß a a e nio s it df o e tm ud h a t trhiumhsaec amongst spot n i ap m gn h rst e i i ..t : while the complainant demanded the with the mone, which the prisoner still srctbhe;sneu tietronhrt ' r re e baaF t yte a gi : i ote n nlinhni e PeP: d i°fle , attm b -hi ue collar , t a bagt length resigned resistance was useless, and he was led along for some distance until a policeman was met, into whose custody he was given. The complainant added that he was in the habit of carrying large sums of money from his em ployers' warehouse to the Southwark branch of the London and Westminster Bank, that he usually went the same way that he did on the present occasion, and it was only the previous morning he carried over 1,0001. in a bag of the 'Same description to the bank in question. Mr. BEADON asked the complainant if he could iden tify the prisoner's associates int e he w o h u i t e r h ag h e e and wae knoe robbery, ked which were of a very daring character. The complainant replied that he had every reason to believe he could.

The prisoner was then remanded till next Thursday. LEIIIIBET.H. Thomas Cowing was placed at the bar before Mr. El liott on a charge of committing a most unprovoked as sault upon two respectable tradesmen. Mr. Harvey, a master tailor, said that , on the n i g ht be fore, while standing at end of I rincess-street with two friends, and when bidding them good n i g h t, t h e prisoner pushed ruddy against him, and . before h e h a d even timo to remonstrate wit h him on his conduct, gave him a violent blow on the m outh, whi ch knocked him down. His friends interfered, and the prisoner endea voured to serve them in the same way, wh en a consta b le came up, and he was with . considerable tro u bl e secured. The magistrate was here i nformed that the prisoner was one of the most desperate ruffisus in the metropolis, A special meeting of this company was held yesterday at the Bridge-house Hotel, London-bridge, for the put pose of considering the propriety of admitting the holders of the No. 3 and 4 shares in the company to a participa tion in all dividends to be hereafter declared, including the current half-year's dividend; Mr. J. Macgregor iu the chair. Mr. HERBERT, the secretary, read the advertisement convening the meeting. The CHAIRMAN commenced the proceedings by stating that the Bill promoted in Parliament by the directors to discontinue the payment of interest out of capital after the 30th of June last on the No. 3 and 4 shares, and to entitle them afterwards to participate in the general dividend, was rejected by Parliament on the opposition of a proprietor holding only No. 4 shares. The Bill being rejected, and the whole of the capitals raised by means of the No. 3 and 4 shares being exhausted, the directors consulted eminent counsel as to the course the company under the circumstances could legally pursue, and the result was they advised that as the capital of the No. 3 and 4 shares had been exhausted, the company could not legally pay interest out of any other capital. but that it would be fair and equitable for the body of shareholders to admit the holders of No. 3 and 4 shares to participate in the general dividend, including the cur rent half-year's dividend, without waiting for the com pletion of those lines for which those capitals were created. They recommended that the measure should be submitted to a general meeting of proprietors spe cially convened for the purpose. The directors unanimously concurred in the views and advice of counsel, and they were confident that the proprietors would give their sanction to the measure.—(dear. bear.) The half-yearly meeting would be held on the 19th of September next, at which time the proposition would be again submitted for their confirmation. By the adoption of this measure they would place the whole property of the company on a uniform and permanent basis, they would improve the company's credit, and enhance the value of their stock. He concluded by moving a resolution to the effect that the holders of the No. 3 and 4 shares be admitted to participate in the current dividend, and in all future di vidends of the company. Mr. KENNARD seconded the resolution. Mr. SWIFT said he had an amendment to propose, that the resolution be not adopted, as the same would tend to a breach of faith with this company, and there fore the shareholders can uo longer feel confidence in their present chairman. The contract was entered into, in 1847, with the holders of the No. 3 and 4 shares, that they were to receive a dividend at a rate not exceeding 5 per cent., until six months after the open ing of certain lines. Considering the litigation at present pending, it was not clear to him when they should have a dividend. Ho held a very large in. terest in those shares, and if the resolution were car ried it would injure his property, and be very un just towards other proprietors. He then entered into a statement of the proceedings he had adopted to oppose the Bill in Parliament, promoted by the directors, for the discontinuance of the payment of interest on the No. 3 and No. 4 shares. He also endeavoured to get a clause inserted in the money -Bill for the continuation of the payment of the 5 per cent, interest on the No. 3 and No. 4 shares, which he thought would meet the case. From first to last he was defending his own personal interest in the matter. Ho had told the directors in April last that he would go on with his opposition to the Bills un less they came to such an agreement with him as would place him in the same position in which he would be if the Bills did not pass. In this proceeding he considered that he was defending his own interest. In the month of June his agent, Mr. Coates, and the agent of the com pany, Mr. Venables, met several times during ten days up to the 23d of June, on the subject of a compromise; but when it was, as he thought, on the point of being settled, he received a letter from Mr. Freeman, the soli citor to the company, stating that it was not creditable to prosecute such negotiations any further. He did not think that it v% as possible to conduct the business of the company in that way. He wished to avoid litigation, and to come to an arrangement. The opposition went on in the House of Lords with a view to obtain the continuance of the in terest on the No. 3 and 4 shares out of the new capital. At length it was agreed that the parties should meet Lord Redesdude to discuss the matter; Mr. Macgregor, Mr. Coates, Mr. Venables, and himself were present, and it was understood by Lord Redesdals, Mr. Coates, and himself, that Mr. Macgregor on the part of the com pany, had agreed to ray up the interest on the No. 3 and 4 shares to the 31st of July, and to pay all the ex penses, amounting to about 1301. A long correspond ence subsequently ensued, which showed that some mis understanding existed, and he was quite at a loss to know from that correspondence what the chairman con siders to be the agreement. He feared that this mode of proceeding would have the effect of involving the com pany in eternal litigation.—(Hear, hear.) He contended that the meeting could not settle the matter by passing the resolution; he would object to it, and he had no doubt it would lead to further litigation. Mr. SMITH did hope that a committee of independent shareholders would be appointed to consider the matter. Mr. LEVY was anxious that every justice should be done to the holders of the No. 3 and 4 shares. If a promise was held out that the dividend should be paid up to July on those shares, let it bo paid, and let the company keep its engagements. Parties might have bought the shares OH the faith that the interest would have been continued up to July last. Mr. LONGMORE did not consider the proceeding a proper one which was referred to by Mr. Swift; it was one which had for its object the protection of one share holder at the expense of the others. lie was surprised that such a negotiation should have been entertained. He thought it very desirable that litigation should be avoided, and suggested that some amicable course should he adopted to promote the general interests of the company.—(Hear.) It appeared to him surprising that with their large receipts per mile, approaching in amount to those on the Great Western Railway, their shares should be only 131. or 141. each. He concluded by proposing an amendment, that a committee of the No. 3 and 4 shareholders ba appointed to confer with the directors as to the best mode of disposing of the question, and that the meeting be adjourned to a certain day to be named. He hoped that Mr. Swift would withdraw his amendment. The CHAIRMAN explained that the object of the resolution was to consolidate the interests of the No. 3 and 4 shareholders, representing capital to the amount of 3,653,7001., as well as of the interests of the No. 1 and No. 2 shareholders, representing capital to the amount of 3,780,000/., together amounting to 7,433,700/. Mr. G. SMITH said he thought it was very wrong to set one set of shareholders against the other. They had all embarked in ono undertaking, and he thought a com• mittee should be appointed to report generally upon the affairs of the company. He was quite certain this was the only course to pursue, for if they went to a vote on the question before them it would not end there. He considered that the company had had enough of litiga tion already. He thought that the holders of the No. 3 and 4 shares owed a debt of gratitude to Mr. Swift. — (Cries of "Question.") The CHAIRMAN said that Mr. Swift was not a regis tered proprietor until the half-yearly meeting in March last. The probable effect of Mr. Carlisle's injunction would bo to delay the payment of the dividend about one month. With regard to the law proceedings of the Brighton Company, Mr. Barlow, their engineer, had proved that there were no deviations in the works beyond those authorised by Parliament, and he could satisfy the Railway Commissioners on that head. There was no doubt the objects of the Brighton Company , would be defeated, and the South-Eastern Com pany have a verdict in their favour. With regard to the want of confidence in him expressed by Mr. Swift, he (the chairman) had only to say that ho bad served the company faithfully for many years and he was quite ready to give up his seat at the board whenever they required it. He did not ask the share holders for sympathy or for confidence in his manage ment, because they had so often expressed it at former meetings, but he asked them for protection against that gentleman and those who acted with him.—(Great ap plause.) That gentleman had acted for his own sole ad vantage in the proceedings he had taken. He had threatened a formidable opposition in Parliament to the Bills promoted by the company, and considering the great influence which that gentleman possessed, and the consequences of such an opposition, the directors, as trustees, were bound to consider any matter submitted to them from such a quarter. As a landholder he was looked upon as a common enemy, but, as a private indi vidual protecting his own interests, he succeeded in interesting the Commissioners and other parties, in his favour, and the consequence was the Bill was thrown out. S‘ ith regard to the money Bill Mr. Swift made a proposal to the effect that be would withdraw his opposition if paid a certain sum of money.—(Great disapprobation.) Ho (the Chairman) and the board of directors rejected the proposal ; they could not possibly entertain it. The whole matter was detailed in the correspondence between them and Mr. Swift, who had Lord Redesdale on his side, and he (the Chairman) had Mr. Quilter and Mr. Freeman, as to what took place at the conference alluded to by Mr. Swift. With regard to the proposed appointment of a committee, he thought they had better defer the con sideration of that question until the next meeting, on the 19th of September, when the resolution ho had pro posed for their adoption would again be brought before The CHAIRMAN then moved that a call of 5/. per share on the unpaid-up shares bo made payable on the Ist of October next, which was carried unani mously. After a vote of thanks to the Chairman and directors, ,he meeting separated. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. APPOINTMENTS. Lieutenants—James H.

On Monday and Tuesday they are expected to visit Chatham and Sheerness. The Admiralty steam yacht Black Eagle, Master-Commander B. Cook, left Woolwich yes terday afternoon to be in readiness to attend on their Lordships on their arrival at Chatham, and to convey them to Sheerness. Inflexible, 6, steam-sloop, Commander P. H. Dyke, has had rather an unlucky start. She arrived at Devon port on Wednesday morning about 10.30, when in going into the Sound, by the eastern end of the breakwater, she got so close that she struck, and listed over. She got off again immediately, and went into Barnpool ; but she will have to be docked before she will be allowed to proceed to the West Indies. Kestrel, 4, brigantine, Lieutenant-Commander Baker, will be paid off at Devonport on Saturday. Rochester lighter, Second MastereCommander Down ward, sailed from Devonport on Wednesday, with stores for the squadron under the command of Commodore Martin, at Gibraltar. Trincomalee, 25, Captain Warren, will be paid off at Devonport this day. The corpse of the late Mr. Rogers, clerk in the store keeper's office at Woolwich Dockyard, who was unfortu nately drowned on the morning of Friday last, was picked up by some fishermen on Wednesday, in Long reach, and taken to Woolwich, where an inquest was held on the body. PORTSMOUTH, THURSDAY. —The Flamer steam ves sel was commissioned at this port this morning by Com mander St. Leger. She will have a complement of 60 men for foreign service. The Blenheim, 6 0, Captain W. H. Henderson, C. 8,, with her comp l ement made up with about 90 fine fellows from the Excellent, and a few officers, went out of har bour this afternoon, and saluted the Commander-in- Chief's flag. It islreported she will proceed to the mouth of the Scheldt. It is reported that the Senior Naval Lord of the Ad miralty left town for Cherbourg on Tuesday, "just to take a peep at the force and condition of the French fleet assembled at that station." The Dauntless, 24, screw steam•frigate, Captain Hal. aced, hoisted the pendant this day. The Vengeance, 84, Captain Sir Henry Blackwood, Bart., in dock, has topmasts pointed. The Retri butionssteam-frigate, Captain Warden, is fitting out fast, and will speedily be out of the hands of the riggers. The Britannia, 120, advanced ship, fitting out for serviceable guard-ship, has her topmasts ready for pointing. The Niger steam-sloop, Commander Heath, sailed this evening for Devouport, en route to the coast of Africa. The Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Lord Amtlius Beancletk, sailed this evening at sunset fer the Scheldt. The Alfred, Devonshire, and Blackwell, three splendid Indiamen, sailed to-day for their respective destinations. The schooner-yacht Queen Victoria, 270 tons, by White, of Cowes, the private property of his Imperial Majesty the Emperor of Russia, came into this harbour this morning from Cronstadt. Very great activity now pervades this port and dock yard from the sudden recent influx of commissions, veri fying the old saw "it never rains but it pours." Portsmouth Harbour and yard have not been so ac tively worked at any period since the long war—so arty the old hands. FRIDAY. Captain Hervey's Strongbow, Bst 71b agst Mr. Henry'.
