RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE- EASTERN COUNTIES. A special general meeting of shareholders in the above company was held on Thursday, at the London Tavern, Davit Waddington, Esq., chairman of the company , presiding,. to consider and determine on the propriety of uniting with the London and Blackwell Railway Com pany in an application to Parliament, in the ensuing session, for powers to make a railway from Ilford to Tilbury (opposite Gravesend) and Southend, and fur ther to receive a report from the directors as to the measures intended to be brought forward in Parliament in the ensuing session on behalf of this company, or by other parties, and which affect the interests of this com- Mr. WADDINGTON, in opening the proceedings, apo logised for the late preparation of the maps of the con templated alterations. The whole blame lay with the lithographer. The measures about to be submitted were of great importance to the interests of the company. The first point was connected with the Great Northern Company. They had given that company notice that it was their intention to pass over a portion of their line, but, in consequence of the kindly disposition recently evinced by their directors, it was only intended to hold the power as a means of protection.—(Cheers.) The next point had reference to the junction between the East and West India Docks and Birmingham Junc tion Rail way, and the Southend and Stratford Railway. This would give them a communication with the North- Western Railway, by what was called the Willesden branch, and various other advantages. Much incon venience was removed by this arrangement, for which the consent of the shareholders was necessary. An other alteration would give them command of th e port of Harwick, by the Eastern union line. The total cost of estimated alterations as connected with these junc tions would be 50,0001. The next point was their pro posed arrangement with the Blackwell Company. There had Ling been 5 struggle as to who should have a portion of the Essex traffic, and at last the two companies had agre ed to apply together to Parlia ment for a line of thirty-six miles, from Ilford to Tilbury, to Southend. They would then both be within a few minutes of being as near G ravesen d as the North Kent line, and, he ex p ecte d, wou ld ge t th e great bulk of that traffic. The traffic to Gravesend and Soathend would amount to about 43,0001. per annum. Re had proposed to distribute the capital necessary for the proposed line among their own shareholders, being sure of the paying nature of the traffic. But knowing the depressed state of their pro perty—(Hear, hear)—he had merely reserved half, which wouli be created into a 6 per cent. stock.—(Dis sent.) This would be offered to the shareholders, but it would be en , irely optional whether they took it or no, as there were other parties ready to take up the stock. — (Hear, hear.) The sum proposed to be raised for this purpose was 45,000/, in shares of 101. each, with a de posit of 255. per share. But the advantages would ba greats The traffic would pass over their line in propor tions of 5,3, and 3 miles respectively, for which they Would receive toll without one farthing expense. — (Cheers.) Their security would consist in the facilities they would give the Blackwell Company in the passage of their Bill through Parliament. The next point was one of the greatest importance, and that was their pro posed connexion with the East Anglian Railways. After some negotiation, the following terms had been agreed on, by which they had anticipated the Great Northern, which would otherwise have seriously inter fered with their trade to Wisbeach. The East Anglian Company had shown that they earned 35,0001. a year, and he had entered into a provisional arrangement with them, subject to the consent of the share holders, which would possibly, is the first instance, en tail a loss of 5,0001. a year in working the line, but if they had allowed the Great Northern Company to get ' this line to St. Ives, it would have been absolute ruin to the Eastern Counties; and he believed that the ar rangem, nt would place their property in a perfectly sound position.—(Cheers.) If, as he expected, they should be able to work the line at 504 per week, there would be no loss, but he thought it best to place the project before the shareholders in its least favourable aspect. Another point was the arrangement by which they would obtain a line from Wisbeach to what was culled the harbour line, by the construction of a small branch from the River Nene, at a cost of 16,000/. And the last was their arrangement for working the New market and Chesterford line. The only other subject to which he should allude was the working arrangement they had made with the Blackwell Company, by which the Eastern Counties would obtain two city termini, and he- believed acquire a large residential traffic. The chairman concluded by reading a series of resolutions, embodying the above objects. The CTIAIRMAN said ho would commence by putting the resolutions respecting the Ilford and Tilbury line to the meeting, and would then proceed with the others ,seriatim. Mr. Box said there was a difference of opinion as to the probabilities of profit from the Southend traffic, but he wished to know if they had not already a Bill for the purpose now sought? He saw among the law ex penses an item of 9,6291. for Parliamentary expenses for such a Bill. The CHAIRMAN said that that item was a fruit of the past straggles between the Eastern Counties and Black wall Companies. It was probable Mr. Box might find more items of a similar nature. The object of the preent proceediag was to avoid such ruinous struggles in future.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Box said a statement was current that this line was proposed because their chairman had property near Southend. He wished to give Mr. Waddington an op portunity of contradicting it. The CHAIRMAN —I have not a shilling's worth there. Mr. Box then asked whether Southend Pier was not the property of the Eastern Counties Company? The CHAIRMAN explained that in the course of their works at Southend they found they were entrenching on the grounds of the Pier Company. They had, there fore, bought the whole from the head landlords, the Exchequer Loan Commissioners, and the property was now paying 1,000/, a year.—(Hear, hear.) They had paid for it 17,0001. Mr. IPLAREN said that it was proposed to create a six per cent. stock for the purposes of the new line. He wished to know who was to guarantee it.—(Hear, hear.) He wished to know, also, whether the contracts had been publicly advertised. Ho thought that the best plan would be to adjourn the vote for farther con sideration. The CHAIRMAN said that his object at present was merely to take the opinion of the shareholders as to the propriety of taking the stock. No contracts had been taken or offered, and it was perfectly optional whether the Eastern Counties shareholders took any of the stock or not. Mr. APLAREN said that they lost 10,0001. a year by the North Woolwich and Thames Junction, and it was the proprietors of that line that were the instigators of the present. The CHAIRMAN said that the proposed line would not involve a shilling responsibility to the Eastern Counties shareholders. They might or might not take the stock as they thought fit. All they were positively asked to do was to approve of the application to Parliament, and to facilitate its progress. After a long discussion, in which Mr. Sainsbury, Mr. Helps, the Chairman, and Mr. Howes took part, the re solution was pat and carried. The CHAIRMAN then proposed a resolution to the effect that the meeting approved of the proposed expen diture of 50,0001. on the branch lines specified in the statement Mr. li2nowt seconded the motion. Mr. Box • said he hoped that the works would be let by private a greement. The ad vertised,and not The CHAIRMAN said he quite approved of the principle of advertising contracts, because he wanted to have them executed as cheap as possible. Mr. HELPS protested against the motion as being il legal, stating that it could not be discussed at that meeting. The SOLICITOR said they might discuss the question, although they could not then legally pass the resolution. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE agreed with his Learned Friend Mr. Helps, and proceeded at some length to oppose the motion amid hisses and expressions of dis approbation. He concluded by moving that " the meet ing do now adjourn." __M . r. HELPS seconded the amendment, which, on being Put to meeting, was negatived by a large majority. . ; _ 4 CHAIRMAN said he had no wish to force resolu ibr_l_,lZte the meeting, but he had come forward with them '-'° quence of a pledge given to the shareholders on a fanner The motio n ion —(Applause.) resolutions appr oving was then put and carried, as were also branch to the Vi9ivatg of the outlay of 16,000/. on the 000 1 river, the payment of 5 per cent. interest on the on the station to be expended by the Black well Company at Fenchurch-street ; also with regard to the appa t a i t ° i ll to Parliament for per mission to enter into agreements with the Newmarket nd Chesterford and EA n that th e working expenses on g uau Railway Companies.

Up to the 1603 of November, 1851, the expe n di. tare in that department amounted to 45,066 L, and the number of miles run were 968,667, being at I.ld, per mile. At the c orresponding perio d of last year the „,z_ penses amounted to 59,7891., and the miles run to 874,817, being at the rate of 16d. per mile, showing an increase in the mileage of 93,850 miles, and It a redwasuction in the the expenditure o 14,723/.—(Applause . ) pected that the perm anent way of the East Anglian line could be maintained for 601. a mile per annum , and if that and other thin ; g s could be done there would b e no loss the East AN ;lien agreement. th : ek j?rooeedings c oncluded with a vote of thanks to ""aan and di rectors.

In answer to this the Birmingham . Company on the Shrewsbury and 24th November g s;ve . notice through their soli citors of their int elation to run ever the Stour Valley line on th e Ist of December., stating that the dire c t ors did not consider that the company 1.-; had either relinquished or forfeited the right which -- it obtained to use t ;hat railway; and that the question "uld be decided in A court of law by consent of both AIA)44) a. 5 fl y - ws f: l7- Kt 4 tae THE SUN, parties, the right in the meantime being conceded with out prejudice. Mr. Carter, the solicitor to the London and North-Western Company, in reply to the notice ! from the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company, stated on the 27th of November that the company had been advised that under the agreement made by the 4hrewsbury and Birmingham Company with the Great Western Company and the other proceedings of the parties the special powers given the company under the Stour Valley Act of 1847 had ceased, and that it was the intention of the company to resist by all lawful means any attempt to exercise those powers. And, in order to afford every reasonable facility for obtaining a speedy decision upon the question at issue, they sug gested that the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company a bill and mo ve f or an injunction to should restrain file the London and North-Western Com pany from preventing them using the line in the terms of the Act, the London and North estern undertaking to admit that they resist such use, and the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Com pany undertaking to produce the arguments in question, and all other documents affecting the matter. Between the 27th and 29th of November some letters passed be tween the solicitors on both sides respecting the intention of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company to book passeegers and to run over the Stour Valley line with engines and carriages. On the Ist of December the ex ecutive committee of the Shresbury and Birmingham Company submitted a proposition to the London and North-Western Company to the effect—" That the exer cise of the right of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway Company to use the Stour Valley Railway be sus pended without prejudice for a month, the London and North-Western Company undertaking forthwith to bring the objection raised by them to that right before the Court for adjudication by injunction or otherwise, and to open forth with and work for public use the Stour Valley Railway between the joint station at Wolverhampton and Birmingham." The Shrewsbury and Birmingham Com pany undertook, if the first proposal be not accepted, to suspend in like manner until after Monday, the Bth inst., the exercise of the same powers under any circum stances. On the 2d of December Mr. Carter, the soli citor to the London and North-Western ompany, stated in reference to the course adopted by the Shrews. bury and Birmingham Company on the Ist inst. to force a passage over the Stour Vailey line, that nothing but the presence of the Mayor and magistrates and of a body of police prevented them from carrying their threatened violence into execution, and that certain loss of life must have been the result. That before they could run their engines and carriages on the Stour Valley line it was therefore absolutely necessary that the extent of their alleged rights should be ascertained by an appeal to the law. Mr. Roy, the solicitor of the Shrewsbury and Bir mingham, in a letter dated the 3d December, complains that the solicitor of the London and North-Western Company had misrepresented the conduct of the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company on the Ist instant, stating that the latter company had given sufficient notice of their intention to ran over the line, to enable the London and North-Western Company to move the Court of Chancery to restrain them from exercising the right, and that in stead of doing so they chose to threaten them (the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Company) with violence in case they carried on their traffic from Wolverhampton. tinder these circumstances, the company had no alter native, rather than risk the public safety, but to abstain from carrying on the traffic of the district and to call in the aid of the magistracy and police while they formally asserted their right. lie concludes by stating that since the London and North-Western Company persist in keeping the Stour Valley Railway closed, the Shrews bury and Birmingham have gone further, and met them with au offer to suspend their right of using the Stour Valley Railway, if the London and North-Western will I carry the public themselves. HEALTHOF LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Registrar-General's Report.) The rate of mortality in the metropolitan districts, which was shown to have been augmented in the two previous weeks, has received a great additional increase in the week ending last Saturday. In th© first week of November 989 deaths were registered, in the second 1,022, in the third 1,132, and in the last week of the month 1,279. During the same period the weekly mor tality of persons aged 60 years and upwards has in creased in the following numbers: 202, 207, 242, and 277. If corresponding weeks of the ten years 1841-50 be taken for comparison, it will be seen that the average was only 1,044, and that with the exception of 1847, when in consequence of the commencement of epidemic influenza at the end of November in that year the deaths rose to 1,677, there is no corresponding week in which the mortality was so high as in last week. The average, as above stated, may be corrected for increase of popu lation, and in this case it becomes 1,14 ii, compared with which the 1,279 deaths now registered show an excess of 131. The mortality of young persons in last week increased 6 per cent., of persons in middle life 14 per cent., and of those of advanced age 19 per cent. above the average. As might be supposed from the early severity of the weather, the table of fatal causes shows that diseases which affect the respiratory organs have been mainly instrumental in destroying life. During the last four weeks the deaths from this class of complaints have in creased as follows:-148, 168, 256, and 298. Phthisis, which stands in the tubercular class, produced in the same periods 125, 123, 135, and 161 deaths, and hooping cough 17, 22, 27, and 34. Phthisis or consumption now exceeds the ordinary amount of mortality. Last week laryngitis carried off 6 persons, pleurisy 4, bronchitis 134, pneumonia 123, asthma 26, diseases of the same class, not defined, 5. The fatal cases enume rated under these heads amount in the aggregate to 298, while the corrected average of corresponding weeks is 240. A woman aged 56 years died of chronic bronchitis, at 20, Star-street, Paddington. The medical attendant tazes that the deceased was severely affected by the of from the drains of the houze." The class of epidemics numbered last week 252, which is just about the average at this season. Small pox, which appears to increase, was fatal to 32 children and five persons of 20 years or more. In the sub.dis• trict of Charing-cross, at 14, Bullin-court, on Nov. 25, a gunmaker's son, aged 2 years, died of " smallpox, natural (12 days), pneumonia (4 days)." Mr. Leonard states that " the disease attacked all the children of the family; the child which has fallen a victim was the only one unprotected by vaccination. Small-pox modified by vaccination is very prevalent among children under 12 years of age in parts of his district, and the re sult is the strongest proof of the benefits of vaccine lion." At 1, Lower Sussex-place, Old Kent-road, two sons of a japanner, aged six years and one year, died of " variola,' in one case after five days', and in another after 11 days' illness. Mr. Stevens, the registrar, adds, that " in neither of these cases had the children been vaccinated, the parents having an aversion to it; and the disease is still prevalent in the family." At 4, Jordan place, Islington, the son of a labourer, aged two years, died of " smallpox (6 days), not vaccinated. Mr. But terfield remarks that the disease though not fatal in all cases, has much increased in his district. In the sub district of St. James, Clerkenwell, at 6, White Horse court, on the 18th and 24th November respectively, the twin daughters of a carman, aged eight months, died of " variola, confluent (11 days), not vaccinated." In the sub-district of Hackney-road, at 46, Old Nichol-street, on the 22d November, the son of a packer, aged four years, died of " smallpox (12 days), vaccinated, w ith doubtful effect, four years ago." Mr. Murray de scribes the street as "crowded, close, and undrained." In the same sub-district, at 20, Vincent-street, which is also described as " a low, close, over-crowded street and totally nndrained," the son of a hawker, aged one year, died of "natural smallpox (nine days)." A court in Hackney-road sub-district, viz., Smith's-buildings, where the wife of a hawker died of peritonitis, is also stated to " narrow, close, over-crowded, undrained, and wretched in the extreme." Scarlatina is now on the: decline; it was fatal last week in 33 cases. In the sub-district of Mile-end, Old Town Lower, at Albert-road, Mr. Castleden registered the deaths of three girls in one family, from scarlatina nialigna, who died respectively on the 22d, 26th, and 27th of November. lie adds, "The situation of the h ouse is very open, and the place, I believe, well ,d;rained. The father states his belief that the disease w as caught at a preparatory school which one of the di:ceased attended. The whole family of eight children h ave been attacked, and there are now three not out of di anger." It is satisfactory to observe that typhus, continued fever, &c., have also declined; these, which numbered 0 6 cases and upwards in previous weeks, have decreased to 50. One death occurred from intermittent fever, 2 Fri )m remittent fever, 3 from rheumatic fever, 3 from influenza, 2 from purpura, 6 from croup, 28 from srrhata, 21 from measles, 4 from thrush, 11 from erysipelas, and 7 from puerperal fever, besides 7 other cases of women dying after child rth. At 5, Rutland-place, Holloway, the widow of a bourer, aged 35 years, died of " fever (15 days) ex -1 ohustion." Mr. Butterfield reports that " Rutland /IL ace is decidedly unhealthy, and many deaths occurred a its neighbourhood during the time of cholera." No death has been registered from cholera during the 1 ai it three weeks in the metropolitan districts. DARTFORD EXPLOSION. A trtford 3 1 . NIUJEST ON THE SEVEN BODIEB.—On Thursday Mr. C.

There is a larger demand for Penang, and 3,329 bags at public sale realised firmer rates, soft brown selling at 24s to 265, yellow 26s to 323 for low to good. FOREIGN.—To-day Foreign Sugar was operated in with caution privately for all purposes; at the same time holders were not disposed to sell at lower rates. None offered at public sale. MOLASSES.—Since this day 'week an extensive busi ness has been transacted in West India, in consequence of the low rates that have been taken; operations are 1,000 puns at from 103 6d to 12s, but chiefly at lls. In Cuba and Porto Rico there is more business doing at Ils 6d to 12s. The value of Bengal and Mauritius is lOs to I Is, but few transactions are reported. Prices are firm for Honey at from 36s to 54s for low to fine, but the supply is small. For Tamarinds the demand continues to increase; East India realises 7s to 12s, and West India 20s to 30s; the supply is also on the increase. COFFEE.—To-day the Coffee market presented a quiet aspect, shippers as well as home dealers operated with reluctance privately, and none was offered at public sale. Prices are however not lower; and sound Native Ceylon cannot be obtained under 39s 6d per cwt. CocoA.—West India is not offered under previous rates; there is however a larger quantity at market, and dealers have operated with caution.

TEA —Although the rates accepted for Congou have been rather under those prevailing previously; yet home dealers operated with reluctance, and only trifling parcels have been taken for exportation, there is also a largo supply. Prices for low quality now rule at 7d to 7id, good ord 8d to 80, blackish leaf 9d to I Id, superior and Pekoe flower is cols sd; an impression exists in some places that for the present rates have arrived at their lowest point. In Oolong little has been done, and a desire is evinced to sell fine at is 3d to is sd, other sorts 9d to is 2d. Souchong is offering at rather lower terms, and few buyers are to be met with, common and fair quality have been selling at 8d to 11d, and other descriptions from is to is 10d. In Scented Orange Pekoe a good deal has been done at previous rates; a slight reduction, however, has been acceded to for best sorts; the rates taken for fine are from is 4d to is 7d, mid to good is ld to is 3d, low and common 9d to Is. Flowery Pekoe continues to attract little notice, although common and mid can be obtained at is to Is 4d, good to fine is 5d to 2s 10d. Of green Tea the supply at market has been even larger than pre viously, and rather lower rates have been submitted to; yet operations are of little moment. The terms acceded to for Hyson, of ord and mid quality, are lld to Is 3d, good to fine ls 4d to 2s, superior 2s 2d to 2s 7d; Gunpowder Canton 8d to 11d; Hyson kind Is to 2s 4d, fine ditto 2s 6d to 3s 4d; Imperial Canton 10d to Is; Hyson kind is Id to 2s 8d; Young 'Tyson from lid to 2s 6d; Scented Caper met with a slow sale at 10d to is 4d.

SPIRITS.—In Demerara Rum little has been done, and prices are on the decline, ruling at 2s Id to 2s 3d for 32 to 40 over proof; some parcels have arrived. Few buyers of East India are to be found, and is 3d to is 3id is the value of proof. The trifling purchases in Leeward Island were at is 4id to Is 6d proof. Jamaica met with little notice for home consumption or shipping, prices also have a downward tendency, and rule for fine 34 to 38 over proof at 33 2d to 4s 3d, mid and good 32 to 34 over 2s 6d to 3s, ord and low 30 to 32 over 2s 3d to 2s id.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT Of COMMON PLEAS, Dec. 5. :Sittings at Nisi Prius, at Westminster, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and Common Juries.) 000DRICK V. SUMMON. _ In this case Mr. Sergeant C. Jones and Mr. Charnock appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Milward for the defence. _ Mr. Sergeant JONES, in opening the case, said that the action was brought to recover compensation for a breach of promise of marriage, the circumstances of which were more than usually distressing. It would appear that the plaintiff is a young woman about twenty four years old, and who, about April or May, 1850, lived with the defendant's brother, who is a draper in Lambeth-road, in the capacity of housekeeper. At this period the defendant was a shopman in his brother's establishment, bat had since left that situation, and was now'in business himself. About July, 1850, she left the employ of the defendant's brother, and went to reside with the defendant, who was then living at a private house in St. George's-road. Previous to this, however, while living in the service of the defendant's brother, the defendant paid her much attention, and at length, under a promise of marriage, succeeded in seducing her. The result of their intercourse was a child, which was born on the 14th of July, 1851, and which died three days after birth. Several witnesses were called for the plaintiff, and among them the person at whose house the plaintiff was living at the time of the birth of the child. Although it was proved that the defendant had at different times paid sums of money to the plaintiff or on her account, none of the witnesses appeared to be able to furnish any very satisfactory evidence as to the promise of marriage. At the conclusion of the plaintiff's case Mr. Sergeant Wriauns, for the defence, submitted to the Court that there was no case to go to the jury. His LORDHIP, however, said that he did not feel jus tified in stopping the case, although he had seldom heard a weaker one. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS then submitted to the jury that this was merely a speculative action on the part of the attorney of the plaintiff, who had made the experiment in order to put costs into his pocket, in case his client was successful. He should be able to prove that the plaintiff was a person of such character as to prevent any man who entertained the least feeling of self-respect from making her his wife. He would show that she had offended against chastity with other men besides the defendant, and had proof of other glaring misconduct on her part. Moreover, she had signed a document which he would read. It bore date, " London, August 13, 1851," and was to the following effect:— "In consideration of sundry sums of money: I have received, and also what I have this day received, I hereby exonerate Mingo Slimmon from all further claim, directly or indirectly. "ANNA GOODRICH." This, he hoped, would be sufficient to satisfy the jury that the plaintiff had no just claim, pecuniary or other wise, upon the plaintiff. Samuel George Boyd was then called. He stated, that at Christmas last he was at the defendant's house for about a fortnight, assisting him in his business. Plaintiff was there at the time. He was intimate with her, and had had intercourse with her while living in defendant's house. This was in the kitchen. Upon one occasion about that period she came home in a cab with some man; she was then in a state of intoxication. Oa cross-examination the witness admitted that he had occasionally bei l p in the company of some members of the " swell mob;" conversing and drinking with them, but denied that he was himself a swell mobaman. He was also closely cross-examined as to the intercourse he had had with the plaintiff, to which, however, his replies were uncertain and unsatisfactory. It was also proved that the handwriting of the docu ment relied on by the defendant was in this witness's handwriting. Some other witnesses were also examined on behalf of the defendant, among whom was his sister, who stated, in the course of her evidence , that during the pregnancy of the plaintiff she had several conversations with her upon the subject of her approaching confinement, and upon other matters connected with her acquaintance with the defendant. At the close of the defendant's ease, The CHUM JUSTICE observed that the defendant's case would have been a much better one if he had called no witnesses, but relied on the efforts of his counsel alone. Mr. Sergeant WUAINS—I trust your Lordship does not impute to me- The CHIEF JUSTICE—Nothing, brother, but want of moral courage. You should have followed your own course without reference to the wishes of your client. It would have been better for him if you had been per mitted to do so. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS—If a counsel in these days relies on his own judgment in opposition to that of his instruc tors, he is most likely the next day to be held up to pub lic execration in the newspapers. As, however, the hint comes friuo such high autheril, I will for the future in all cases exercise my own discretion. . The CHIEF JUSTICE, in summing up, took occasion to observe that counsel were often found fault with and condemned somewhat unjustly. :It had, among other things, been urged that they were in the habit of taking briefs and neglecting to attend th( it client's cause. Now it generally happened that briefs were delivered a week or more previous to a case coming on, when it was im possible to say at what particular time counsel's attend ance would be required, and if, h i consequence of other causes being struck out, or for many other reasons, their duties should happen to cia sh, it was no fault of theirs. Tice jury found a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 20/. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDII ALL. William Long, an omnibus conductor, who was placed at the bar before Alderman Cuei tt on Monday last on the charge of stealing coat, value 31., the property of Mr. Marsden, of the Goode and Gridiron, St. Paul's- Churchyard, was again brought up, and a vlriety of charges of stealing goods from the London and North- Western and South-Western Railway stations were pre ferred against him. The orignal charge having been completed by the pro duction and identifi3ation of the coat, other charges were then taken. From the number of large trunks, portmanteaus, packages, &c., which had been found at prisoner's lodg ings and yesterday produced in court, it appeared that he had been carrying on a very extensive system of plunder. The officer said he had still a number of other charges against the prisoner. Alderman CIIBITT said it would be useless to go on with them on the present occasion, as there were already five or six complete cases, on which ho intended to re mand the prisoner.—Remanded accordingly. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Thomas Commons, a foreigner, was brought before Mr. Hardwick. charged with having stolen a piece of silk from the Zollverein department of the Great Exhi. bition. The constable said he went in pursuit of the prisoner, and took him in custody at the Life Guards public•house. On their way to the building the prisoner dropped a length of satin, which was afterwards proved to have been stolen from a trunk. The prisoner reserved his defence, and was fully corn. mitted. THA ME S. Ann Taylor and Susan Morgan, two well-known thieves and prostitutes, were brought up before Mr. Ingham, charged with stealing three M. Bank of Eng land notes from Mr. Alexander Brodie, the master and owner of the ship Woodman, lying in the London Decks. Police-sergeant Macintosh, No. 9 11, said he had been unable to trace the notes, and that the prosecutor was too drunk to appear. Mr. INGHAM ordered the prisoners to be removed till the prosecutor was sober, and they were detained till the afternoon, when they were arraigned in the dock, and Captain Brodie, the prosecutor, reeled towards the witness-box. Inspector White, of the H division, said Capt. Brodie had been again drinking that morning, and was " half seas over," and not in a fit state to give evidence. A large sum of money in gold, of which he would have been plundered if a woman named Brown had not inter fered, was taken from him, and the sergeant had charge of it. Mr. IIsiGHAII commented on the disgraceful circum stance of the owner and captain of a ship mixing with such company as he had done, and coming into a court of justice in the state ho was in. He ordered the pri soners to be again removed, and Captain Brodie was led to a seat in the corner of the court, where he remained with his head hanging down in a maudlin condition for another hour, when Mr. White said the captain was going to sail with his ehip that night, and there was no chance of his being in a fit state to give evidence that day. Mr. INGHAM directed the prisoners to be sent for, and, after they had entered the dock, addressed them and said—lt was, perhaps, fortunate for them the captain was not in a fit state to give evidence, and that his ship was about to sail. Ile discharged the prisoners, and said that, considering the company and the neighbour hood Captain Brodie was in, he was extremely lucky that he had not lost his gold as well as his notes. Captain Brodie, who appeared to have been drinking very freely, and was in a very disorderd state, said he knew he was groggy, and was led out of court by the police, who took charge of him. and said they would re store the gold when he became sober. WANDSWORTH. Mr. Benjamin Baugh, of No. 21, South Lambeth New-road, Lambeth, and described on the charge-sheet as a gentleman, was brought before Mr. Paynter and placed in the dock charged with so violently assaulting Charles Cox, aged 14, the son of a gardener, living in Nile-cottages, Larkhall-lane, Clapham, as to render him incapable of attending to prefer the charge. Police-constable Thomas Newman, 250 V, produced the medical certificate, of which the following is a copy:-- " Preston-lodge, Larkhall-lane, Dec. 5. " This is to certify that I have attended Charles Cox, who is suffering from the effects of a severe kick on the groin and scrotum, which will confine him to his bed for some days. There does not appear to be any symp toms of rupture consequent upon the injury. "G. S. NPLAUGHLIN, Surgeon." The constable stated that about half-past six o'clock on the previous evening he saw the defendant in South Lambeth very drunk, and running after several boys, who, he believed, had been annoying him. The injured boy, who was coming from a contrary direction, and had no connexion with the other boys, was assaulted by the defendant, who kicked him in a most brutal manner before he (the constable) could interfere. The lad was carried to his home, and he took the defendant to the station-house, who there stated that he was a gentleman of no profession. Mr. PAYNTER did not call upon the defendant for any defence, but .said he should require him to find two re sponsible bail in 40/. each, and himself in 801. The mother of the boy was called into court, and, in answer to a question from the magistrate, said her son suffered very severely throughout the night. . The defendant asked the Magistrate if he might speak to the boy's mother. Mr. PAYNTER—YOU may do so if you choose, but I shall go on with the case. The defendant, after hearing some further evidence, was then removed to the cells, and had not been bailed out when the court closed. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. WAKEFIELD, DEC, s.—There is a good supply of wheat this week, and holders are firm in requiring an advance of is per quarter. which is pretty readily obtained on all fresh qualities. For barley there is a fair sa l e at late prices. Oats and shelling are again held for more money. Beans as last stated. WHEAT, per qr. 601bs per bushel :-- s. s.

EXETER, Dec. s.—Cattle Market—As is generally the case, the market previous to the fair was thinly at tended and as scantily supplied. There were very few beasts driven in, and not many sales were effected. Prices were about the same as last week. For prime beef, 7s 9d to 8s per score; inferior, 7s to 7s 6d. Cows and calves were from 919 s to 144 and in some instances higher. Steers, a very few of which were shown, were offered at about the same as last week. Barreners, 45 to 4s 6d per score. Sheep were more plentiful, and several prime lots changed hands at about 5d per lb for wethers, and 4d for ewes. Pigs, a small supply at previous prices. Pork Carcases—The supply was tolerably large, at prices ranging from 6s to 6s 9d per score.

Corn Exchange—Very few samples have bees exhibited, and the lateness of the time at which the market commences—which is a source of general complaint—precludes the possibility of our as certaining the precise state of the market. Wheat was quoted higher than last week. at from 5s to 5s 3d per bushel; barley, 3s to 3s 4d; oats, 2s 2d to 2 s 3d di t t o . Fine flour, 29s to 30s per sack. BRISTOL SUGAR MARKET, DEC. s.—The transactions of the week have been unimportant, owing to the in difference of holders to offer their stocks at present rates; prices, however, are well supported, and in one or two instances a slight improvement has been obtained for good refining sorts, which are wanted. The refined market continues steady, with a fair business doing at previous rates. Rum is still dull, and rather lower.— Bristol Mercury.
