CLOSE OF THE PUBLIC WOOL SALES. The particulars of this interesting series of public eales may, from the best information, and from personal attention to their progress, be now summed up. The wool offered was the last of the clip of 1849, and the auction, which began on the 13th instant, closed on the 26th. The quantity put up was 17,042 bales of Colonial, and 3,738 of Foreign ; viz., 8,031 bales of Sydney, 2,819 bales of Port Philip, 2,273 bales of Van Dieman's Land, 390 bales of South Australian, 3,503 hetes of Cape, 10 bales of Swan River, 16 bales of New Zealand, 373 bales of Odessa, Merino, &c., 680 bales of Germanized and brooked-washed, 215 bales of Spanish washed, 3,373 bales of unwashed, 665 bales of East India, and 1,432 bales of Turkey, Egyptian, &c. The prices obtained for the foreign were ODESSA AND METIS.-Merino Odessa, in classes. Is. 3d. to 25.; superior, 2s. 2d.; Metis, Is. 2d. to Is. Bd.; superior, Is. 10d. BROOK-WASHED AND GERMANIZED.-Brook-washed, Is. to Is. 2d., part withdrawn ; Germanized, is. 20. to 19. 6d.; superior, Is. 7d. SPANISH.-R. F. and S. round, ls. 60. to Is. 80.; A., ls. sd. to Is. eil. SPANISH IN GREASE.-Fleece, middle quality, 50- to 7d., mostly withdrawn; Limbs, middle quality, sd. to 7}d., ditto ; Fleece Merino, 103.; common, 40.; A, Bd. to 9.1. EAST INDIA.-White, Bd. to 9d.; yellow, sd. to 7d.; grey mixed, &c., 3d. to sd. SUNDRIES -Turkey Douskoi, &c., partly withdrawn. ODEssA. WooL.-For well-bred Merino, washed and brook-washed, there was a good demand, and they sold freely at full last Decsmb .1 prices ; some ill-bred and in'erior quality brook-washed were less saleable. SPANISH WOOL.-Tae quantity destined for these sales was unprecedentedly large, about 3,000 bales, and being of an untried description, " very greasy," buyers had not confidence to take them unless at low speculative prices; this becoming more manifest after the first night's sale, the greater part, upwards of 2,000 bales, were judiciously bought in and withheld. Of the whole quantity, about 11,000 bales, Colonial, eonsisted of Wools not previously in sale; the remainder b e i n g purchases made in the various sales of last year, and forming so much larger a proportion of the stock on hand than had been anticipated, has, to a certain ex tent, proved prejudicial to theirre-sale, and the result of the sales generally has not been so satisfactory as was at one time expected. At the opening of the sales the attendance of buyers was very numerous, and December rates were fully maintained, but fur the last few days they mustered in smaller numbers, and the prices for nearly ail qualities, excepting Lambs' Wool, gave way to the extent of Id. per lb., a result not surprising consi dering the dulness which has pervaded the manufacturing districts the last few weeks, caused to some extent by the mildness of the winter and the consequent reduced con sumption of heavy goods, and no doubt considerably aggravated by the uncertainty as to the future, induced by the resignation of the Ministry. The present range of prices may be considered satisfactory both to growers and manufacturers; and we consider the check given to any advance in rates as calculated to be beneficial rather than otherwise. Stocks of manufactured goods are com paratively small, and those of the raw material lower than we have ever known them, more particularly of wools of home growth. It is probable that the receipts of the new clip from all the ports will be earlier this year than usual; and, with a prospect of a decided increase in production and import of Colonial Wool, there is no reason to doubt that there - will be an ample supply for the wants of the year; and we trust that our market will, in consequence, be less subjected to fluctuations than has been the case in the past year.

The proceedings were opened by the secretary reading the report, from which we subjoin an extract, containing the most important portion:— " The proprietors were informed by the last half year's report, that the portion of the line from White haven to Bootle had then been opened. The remaining length of thirteen miles, from Bootle to the junction with the Furness R a ilw a y, was opene d for traffic on the Ist of November last, making the whole leggth of main line row Opened thirty-four miles. , 6 With respect to the entire cost of the undertaking, it is satisfactory to have to state that it falls considerably within the original estimate. The actual outlay incurred up to the 31st December last, as appears in statement of capital account, amounts in round numbers to the sum of 345,0001. The estimate of additional expenditure for land and works amount to the sum of 20,0001. If to this is added the sum of 5,0001. for extension of station accommodation, additional rolling stock, and other con tin,t,encies, the total expenditure for the main line and roiling stock may be taken at about 370,0001. " During the last half-year a considerable reduction has been effected in the arrears of calls. The amount of 41 ,0381., due on 30th June last, has been diminished to the sum of 25,6131., which, it is expected, may be still further reduced by nearly 4,0001. The balance of 22,000 L, which will then remain, is owing upon 2,110 sbarea held by parties who have been ascertained to be with out means of payment. The directors have accordingly declared these s h ares f orfe i ted, and th i s meet i ng w ill be called upon to confirm the resolution of forfeiture, and to authorise the sale or other disposition of these shares, as also 3 of the 4,216 shares previously forfeited. Upon the whole of these 6,126 shares, the amount of deposit awl calls paid is 30,3781. 17s. Id. The remaining 11,374 shares represent a capital of 227,580/. entitled to dividend." The CHAIRMAN, in proposing the adoption of the re port, congratulated the proprietors on the small cost at which their railway had been constructed—a sum much less than the Parliamentary estimates. He thought this would have a great effect on the future prospect of the s i nce a very average receipt would be sufficient railway, opened the to pay a dividend. They h f ,d lino at a very unfavourable period of the year, which would account for the smallness of the receipts, but he hoped they would ,. soon be i mproved. Ile wished to call the attention of the meeting to the fact, that this line had not originated with the present core parry, but with Mr. Stephenson, who had considered k a line as this was necessary to develop the mineral resources of the district; and he (the Noble Lord) hoped that the line would carry out the anticipations of that eminent gentleman. If it did not, it would be the first great line that had fallen short of his prophecies. Mr. DE VITAE suggested that for the future the re port should be issued a few days before the meeting. Tie also wished to recommend that they should revert to tho original system of paying the gentlemen who sat at their boards for th e i r attendance. The CHAIRMAN said they had better defer talking' about that till they got a dividend. The report was then adopted unanimously. The meeting wrs then made special for the purpose of Confirming the forfeiture of certain shares in conse quence of non-pay meat of calls. THE SUN, LONDONJTHURSDAY The numbers of the shares were then read, and a re solution passed empowering the directors to declare them forfeited, and to sell or otherwise dispose of them. The meeting then separated, after a vote of thanks to the Noble Chairman. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—There was about an average attendance in our Piece Hall to-day, but rather more flatness was observable. Tee chief inquiry was for last jogs of low quality, and for some descriptions of mix• tures, also of low quality. For the finer fabrics there is very little demand. Of yarn and wool, we have only to say that there is much indisposition to purchase; and the markets are consequently in a very languid state. LEEDS, TErESDAY.—The markets at the cloth halls have been fist, both on Saturday and to-day, and the woollen trade generally is rather dull. There is no change worth notice in prices. SOUTH WALES RAILWAY. The half-yearly ordinary meeting of the proprietors in this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, C. R. M. Talbot, Esq., M.P., the chairman, pre siding. The usual preliminaries having been gone through, The SECRETARY read the report of the directors,which has already been published in The Sun. The CHAIRMAN, in rising to address the meeting, was received with loud cheers. Ho said— Gentlemen, I have to apologise to you for this report not having been sooner laid before you, but when you hear the reason, I am convinced you will be satisfied it is a good one. The fact is, the auditors found it impossible to get the accounts ready in time for the circulation of the report within a sufficient number of days before the meeting ; and I can bear testimony myself to their unwearied exertions, having been at Chepstow during the period of their labours and witnessed them working like slaves in order to get the accounts ready.—(Hear.) This complaint will not occur again, it having arisen entirely in consequence of the officials being somewhat new in their relative posi tions during the first six months of the opening of the line. With reference to the report we have just heard read I wish to draw your attention, in the first instance, to the traffic which passed over the line in the first six months of its working. You will perceive the balance in favour of the company amounts to 10,9091.—(E1ear.) That of itself is a most favourable feature in a railway of this description during the first six months; but I may state that that by no means represents the amount, because though the expense of carrying her Majesty's mails has been charged to the country, the Post office has paid nothing whatever to us. Now, if I estimate the receipts for carrying the mails for four months at 4,0001., that will make a clear balance of something like 15,0001, for the halt-year, or say 30,0001. for the year—(Hear)—and considering that no balance whatever was expected in the shape of profits from the working of the line during the first year, I think you may look at that fact as a favourable omen with regard to our line.—(Cheers.) Then, again, I may observe that the smallness of the goods traffic during the four months may excite some surprise. I can give a very good reason for its not being larger, because it had to be limited to the number of trucks we had on the line. We have only had 45 trucks to carry on the goods traffic over 75 miles of railway. I have no wish to-day to speak in a spirit of fault-finding. I believe the Great Western have given orders for the construction of new trucks for the service of the South Wales line ; but, nevertheless, the number I mentioned has been most inadequate to meet the requirements of the traffic. In fact, the 45 trucks hove been in constant use, and we might as weil try to discharge the Thames through a six-inch pipe as attempt to carry on the traffic with such limited accommodation for the goods' traffic.—(Hear, hear.) I am authorized by the superintendent—a most active, energetic, and excellent officer—to say that at this moment he has three times the amount of traffic which he can carry with forty-five trucks; and I believe my self, if we had a larger number of trucks, and the ca pabilities of the line were fully developed, that we should have ten times the traffic which could a t first reasonably be expected.—(Hear, hear.) I will now advert to that which occurred in this room at the last November meeting. When we met here some few months ago you were pleased to express an opinion very unequivocally as to the course which the company ought to pursue for the future. At that time I felt it my painful duty to differ nearly from the whole of the other directors, and having acted most cordially with them for a considerable period I did feel very great pain in finding myself compelled to differ with them on a question affecting the important interests of this rail way. I must do them the justice to say that I believe, and indeed know, that their only object was to discharge their duties as trustees to the company, according to what they considered most likely to con duce to your interests; but, after having plainly per ceived what your real feelings were on the question, they have felt no difficulty whatever in cordially and unanimously uniting with me in carrying out that line of policy which I ventured to recommend.—(Cheers.) Whatever responsibility may attach to that policy, 1 am willing to bear it myself, and nothing of it will fall on their shoulders, because they, in the first instance, re commended a contrary policy, and altered their opi nions solely in deference to your views. —(Cheers.) Now I do hope, in making tho announce ment, that this company has resolved to prosecute this entire line, no wish may be attributed to mo of taking a hasty course with regard to the Great Western Company. To that corporation I owe the deepest obli gation. I have never travelled by their magnificent line without thanking them fur giving me such accommodation, and no one travels by it oftener than Ido myself. For the individual members of the corporation I feel nothing but esteem and regard, and I do protest in the strongest lan guage which can be used against my desire for the honourable fulfilment of an obligation being imputed to me as an act of hostility.--(Loud cheers.) But I have already said that, with the ex ception of those gentlemen who represented the Great Western, the board were unanimous in their in tention to prosecute the line to Fishguard.—(Cheers.) It will not do, of course, to make such an announcement without also convincing you of our power to carry out our intention.—(Cries of " Hear, hear.") It is mani festly a financial question, and, therefore, I will now proceed to lay before you my " budget," which I hope you will think a little more successful than the financial statement of my Eli ht Hon. Friend the Chan cellor of Exchequer.—(Laugh ter and cheers.) In round numbers, according to the accounts made up to the 31st Dec. last, we had spent 2,666,000/., that will leave something like 1,300,0001. of the capital stock expended. Now, I believe that for less than one million the whole of the railway to Fishguard may be completed.—(Hear, hear.) I found my belief on the fact of the contracts for the works being now let for 325,0001 ; and consider ing that the permanent way will cost 1:i5,0001., and the iron rails 85,0001., there remains a certain balance to be expended between Chepstow and Grange-court of something under 100,0001. The total, as I make it, certainly falls below one million, leaving a disposable balance of 300,0001., including that which the company is entitled to raise. —(Hear, hear.) Then comes the question, can we raise money under the powers we possess ? Arrangements have been made with the contractors, with the layers of the permanent way, and alio with the iron masters, to take debentures iu payment. It had been suggested that the company should agree with some large contractor to finish the whole of the line, on such an agreement as that on the Worcester and Wolverhampton line. No doubt such an arrangement would be very wise were it not that we had it in our power to make a still better arrangement.—(Hear, hear.) No large contractor would take so large a risk on his shoulders without a consi derable bonus. The Chairman then alluded to the rumour which had been circulated that it was the intention of the directors to refuse to lease the line to Fishguard when completed, and said there were no grounds whatever for believing at present that such was their intention. He had, however, taken the best legal advice on the sub ject, and he was informed that the agreement which they had entered into with the company fur leasing the line could be enforced.—(Hear, hear.) He hoped that the board of the Great Western Company would consent to the substitution of Milford Haven in stead of Fishguard for the destination of the line, that being one of the finest harbours in the kingdom. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report. After some warm discussion, the motion was agreed to. The retiring directors were then re-elected. The CHAIRMAN then proposed the motion, sanction ing the issuiog of preference shares, as mentioned in the report. This was met by an amendment by Mr. De Winton, seconded by Captain Berkeley and Mr. Baker, the Great Western directors, that no preference shares should be i.sued without farther inveetigcien into the affairs of the compeny, but was, however, with drawn, on the chairman giving an undertaking that no shares should be issued without the subject again coming before a special meeting. The original motion was then carried; and after the transaction of some other business, tha meeting se larated. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—Although some few of the letters received by the Canada represent the cotton crop as sure to reach 2,400,000 to 2,500,000 bales, yet the advices at large have at once strengthened and rendered more general the opinion that the supply must prove a short one. The consequence is an increase of busi ness, and an upward tendency in prices at Liverpool; while the returning firmness observable in this market last week has become more decided to-day. Cotton has recovered id. per lb. from the recent lowest point; and any business done in yarns to-day is at id. to per lb. above the prices which would have been paid a week ago. The operations have been rather considerable, on the whole; the Germans having ventured to do more than for some time back, and there having been purchases to a fair aggregate amount for India, and Italy, and for home consumption. The extensive transactions of last week in 40-inch shirtings have led the producers to re quire an advance of 3d. and 4id. per piece, to which they firmly adhere. This retards business, though there is a disposition to buy. Long cloths and T cloths are in tolerable request; but printing cloths are still quiet. Some uneasiness is excited by the possibility, which has become more apparent th is afternoon, that the formation of a Government may fall into the hands of Lord Stan ley, though the issue of a struggle for the maintenance of free trade is not feared. RUCIIDALE, MONDAY.—W 0 have another dull market to-day; there have been many flannels offered for sale, and few buyers. When this is the case, prices are al most sure to go down. The wool market has also been slack, and sales have been effected at lower prices. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have no change to notice iu the manufactured goods trade since last week, business remainiug quite as dull us reported fur some time past. Nov, however, that the public sales have taken place, and their result is known, we may confidently expect that business will be done. At length some of the smaller commission throwing concerns have been com pelled to close, it being impossible for them to obtain work in the present flat state of the thrown silk trade. At the public sales held in London, last week, very little silk was bought; buyers, for the most part, purchasing by private contract. BITDDERSTIELD, TUESDAY.—We have had a very flat market to-day in the woollen trade, although the deli• very of goods has been pretty large, but chiefly to order. though ngof tainyis importance in the wool t ra d e generally thought that ther e is a slight deviation of price.

MONET MARKET—The quotation of gold at Paris is 3 per mille discount, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25 10; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.05, it follows that gold is 0.20 par cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advices from 11am burgh the price of gold is 4231 per mark, which, at the Eng lish Mint price of 31. 17s. 10id. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13,41 ; and the exch ange at H am - burgh on London at short being 13.5 t, it f o ll ows t h at go ld is 0.53 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 110 per cent., and the p ar o f exc h ange between England and Americabeing 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is nominally 0.42 per cent. in favour of England; but, after making allowance for differ ence of interest and charges of transport, th e p resent rate leaves no profit on the importation of gold from the United States. .EVENING, LAW INTELLIGENCE, COURT OF EXCHEQUEH, Feb 27 :Sitting* at Prins, b--tore oe LORD CHIEF BARON and a Sieei sl lrv.) SKIPPER V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY CO3IP ANY. This was an action to recover the valu , < , f a m.,ro, which had died in consequence of injuries received by the alleged negligpnce cf the defendants while being carried on their railroad. Mr. E. Jamps, Q.C., and Mr. Willer npp, , mred for the plaintiff; Sir F. The.3iger and Mr. Bovill for the de fendants. The contract declared on was that the defendants were to provide a proper and suitable carriage for the conveyance of the mare from Wallingford-road station to London, and to stow her properly and suitably, but that the plaintiffs were not to be liable for injuries which might happen in the course of conveyance. The defen dants first pleaded that they did not promise ; and secondly, that they did provide a proper carriage, and did stow the mare properly and suitably. It appeared that the mare was placed in a horse-box, in which there were three compartments, and that in the division next to that in which the mare was a powerful dray horse was placed, both being to all appearances securely fastened. At the end of the journey it wrs found that the dray horse had broken through into the mare's eotn- Partrnent, ani was standiu.r over her dad body, his hoots being covered with blnial. and the mare having up• patently been trampled to death by him. Upon the c-mpletion of plaintiff's case, Sir F. THEsidEa submitted that, inasmuch as the company were b) the concniet not liable tor injuries ou eurrin,: in the course of conveyanc , , there wad no case to go to tne jury. Sir. E. JAMES and Mr. WILLES contended that this expnaction did not apply where the defendants had not taken proper means to Eecure that hich was committed to their charge. The LORD CHIEF BARON directed the jury to find verdict for the defendants on th• general issue, and fur the plaintiff on the issue raised by the second plea. LOCKHART V. DUNCOMBE. This was in action against the defendant, as acceptor of a hill of exchange f r 3,0004 The defendant pleaded that he did not accept, that he was induced to accept by fraud, no consideration, and that the bill was an accommodation one. Mr. Edward Jamey, Q C., and Mr. Dacent appeared for the plaintiff; Sir F. Theinger, and Mr. Bramwell for the defendant. The bill was drawn by a Mr. Beebey, the nephew of the defendant; and Beebey indorsed it to the plaintiff, who had been in his service. Consideration to th 4 amount of 9501. was proved to have been advanced by the plaintiff to Beebey. The case was chiefly remark able for the manner in which the evidence was given, After the defendant's case was finished, the plaintiff called witnesses in reply, upon which the defendant called witnesses to contradict them; and, lastly, while the jury were considering, an additional witness was tendered, but his Lordship would not hear his evidence. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for 950/, without interest. ASSIZE IN TELLIGENCE. HOME ClRCUlT.—Hereford, Fa). 26. The commission cf assize for the county of Hereford was opened to-day by Mr. Baron Parke. The cause list is not yet made up, but the number is believed to be about the usual a‘erage. The gaol calendar is light and all the cases are of the ordinary description. Mr. Baron PARKE, in his charge to the grand jury, congratulated them upon the lightness of the calendar, observing that all the cases contained in it appeared to be of a very simple description, and not requiring any re marks from hirn respecting them, and he at the sametime said it was very satslactory to see that there was not a single charge involving the desctruction of human life, or in which the life of any person accused was in jeopardy. The grand jury having retired, one or two trifling eases were disposed of, but they did nut furnish any material for a report. NORTHERN Fel). 25. CROWN COURT.—(Befure Mr. Justice CRESSWELL.) Jane Watson, aged 23, the wife of Matthew Watson, was indicted for having at Braithwaite, on the 25th of last July, feloniously cut the throat of her child, Sarah W atson, with intent to murder it. There were other counts in the indictment laying the intent to do the child acme grievous bodily harm. Mr. James and Mr. Higgin prosecuted, and Mr. Mat thewa defended the prisoner. It appeared that the prisoner is the wife of a labourer living at Braithwaite, a village about three miles feeno Keswick, and her father, John Kirkbridge, lived in the same house with them. On the 25th of July Mary Fearon, a little girl, the niece of the prisoner, went to call upon her, hut finding the front door fast, Ofe went round to the buck door and entered thu house, and on going up stairs she saw the prisoner sitting by ti, fire with her child, which was about fourteen months old, on her knee. There was blood on the floor, and two bloody rasors lying on the dressing table, anti bloody cloths were wrapped round the necks of both the pri soner and her child. The little girl, Mary Fearon, in great alarm, ran back and informed her mother of what she had seen, and an immediate alarm being given, vari ous people ran to the prisoner's cottage to see what was to do. A witness named Jobson first entered, and found the prisoner still sitting As described by the little girl. He spoke to her, and asked her what she had been doing. She made no answer, but told him "to keep off her. He took up the razors, and there was a little ' blood on them, which he wiped off. lie then went out. and Isaac Pearce), her brother in-law, went into the room. She took no notice of him, and he sat down on the bedside and began talking kinoly to her, asking her what was the wetter, when she burst, into tears. On seeing the child lying ou her 'toe' with bloody cloths about it, he said, • 'oh dear me, Jane, what could make then do such a thing as this?" She said her father had said or done something to her, and she could nut hear it; but she cared nothing about herself. He went out to send for a doctor, and on his return he inund her standing over the child, which she had laid on the bed, crying out with her arms above her head, " My poor bairn, my poor bairn." On the surgeon arriving he found the child appa rently lifeless. There were two incised wounds on the throat, about three inches long each, but not very deep, and no material blood-vessels had been divided. On sewing up this wound the child flinched, and he then resorted to every means he could to revive it. The child re covered, and was now quit.o well. There were also two gashes on the prisoner's throat, and both her own throat and the child's had been bound up by her with cloths. On the cross-examination of the various witnesses it was attempted to be elicited that the prisoner lived au un happy life in consequence of having a drunken husband, and she was shown to have exhibited a state of great despondency before this event. It was also attempted to be shown that there was hereditary insanity in the fa mily; that her mother died childish and insane, and her grandmother cut her throat. The Learned COUNSEL for the prisoner then addressed the jury, and in the course of his speech was consider ably affected by the painful details of the case. He urged that temporary insanity alone, there being a pre disposition to that malady in the prisoner's family, brought on by domestic trouble, would have induced her to commit so shocking an act towards her own child, to which, immediately afterwards, the returning affection of a mother had exhibited itself; and he appealed to the jury to take a lenient view of so sad a case. His LORDSHIP, in summing up, directed the jury that it was for them toconsider the intent with which the act was done. It they thought the prisoner had committed this act with any of the intents charged in the indict ment, they must tind her guilty. If they acquitted her, then they must say whether they acquitted her on the ground of insanity and incapacity of knowing whether she m did right or wrong; but the law said that insanity must be presumed, unless that presumption was rebutted by the clearest evidence. The jury found the prisoner Guilty of doing bodily harm to the child, but no " grievous bodily harm," which his Lordship said was guilty only of an assault. She was sentenced to be imprisoned, with hard labour, for one year. Mr. Bliss, Q C., sat in the c eirse of the dsy in the Grand Jury-room and tried several prisoners. • PoLICE INTELLIGENcE, MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

CLERKENWELL. Yesterday John White, a well-known member of the swell mob, was placed at the bar before Mr. Combe, charged by Thomas Edeford, cabinetmaker, of 14, Rose and Crown -court, Clerkenwell, with stealing a silver watch from his waistcoat-pocket, at the pit entrance of Sadler's Wells Theatre. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor, that on Tuesday evening he was induced to attend Sadler's Wells Theatre, to witness the performance of the trinter's Tate, &c. When he was standing in the crowd at the pit entrance the prisoner was immediately behind him, an•l witness feeling a tug at his waistcoat pocket, in stantly turned round and seized the prisoner, who had abstracted his watch from his pocket and dropped it. Fisher, an active offiiier. 127 G, who was on duty with others of the deieeme. force, took the prisoner int.) cus tody and locked him up. There not being sufficient evidence, the prisoner was discharged.

The prisoner said be was employed to carry the pro perty.—He was fully committed for SOUTH WA RK. Yesterday, William Griffiths, a young man of re spectable appearance, clerk in the employ of Measra. Brown and Co., stnna-merchants, of Bankside„ was placed at the bar before Mr. A'Beckat, charged will' indecently assaulting Maria Palmer, in a railway carriage. The complainant, a respectable-looking young woman, stated that she is a servant, and that on the preceding afternoon she came up to town from Graves end by the twenty minutes past five o'clock train, in one of the third-class carriages. The defendant, accompanied by another young man, was a passenger by the train, and sat nearly opposite to her in the same compartment of the carriage. Before the train arrived at the Blackheath tunnel the defendant pushed his feet against hers, and also put his hsud upon her knee, and she changed her position in consequence, but still sat nearly opposite to him, and she was confident that it was not accidentally done. When the train en tered the tunnel the defendant thrust one of his hands up her clothes, but she pushed it away, and a second time he repeated the act, and she screamed out, and when the carriages got out of the tunnel a soldier who sat with his hack to her i❑ the adjoining compartment of the same carriage, seeing her crying, asked her what was the matter with her, and when she told him how she had been treated while the train was passing through the tunnel, and pointed out her assailant, he (the sol dier) said that he ought to be ashamed of himself for taking advantage of a female under such circumstances. She did not hear the defendant make any reply, but when the train arrived at the London-bridge terminus, she mentioned the manner in which she had been in sulted on the journey to one of the railway officers, and having pointed out the defendant as the man, she gave him into custody. In reply to Mr. ATECKETT, the complainant said that she had no conversation with the defendant previously to his having acted in the manner she described. That she did scream out loud, but the noise of the carriages pass ing through the tunnel might have prevented the other pmsengers from hearing her. That there were five per sons, including the defendant, sitting in the same com partment of vie carriage with her, but still she was con vinced he was the man who insulted her, although she could not distinguish him in the darkness that prevailed in passing through the tunnel. That when they got out of the tunnel she addressed the defendant, saying that tie was not fit to come there if he could not behave him self, but he made no reply to what she said on the subject. Mr. Binns cross examined the complainant with a view to show that she might have been mistaken in the iden tity of the defendant, and that, although exposed to the indecent conduct she described, yet that he was not the perpetrator of it, there being other men in the same compartment of the carriage at the time. The com plainant, however, adhered to the accuracy of her state ment, and added that she was confident the defendant and no other person was the man by whom ahe was as saulted. Richard Cheer, a private in the Fusilier Guards, stated that he sat in the next compartment of the car riage, and observing, when the train got out of the Blackheath tunnel, that the complainant was crying, he asked her what was the matter, and she described the wanner in which she had been treeted, and pointed out the detendant as her assailant; that he (witness) said the defendant deserved to be given into custody for But h scandalous conduct towards a decent young woman. He (witness) did not hear the complainant scream out, but this might be accounted for owing to the great noise of the engine and long train of carriages passing through the tunnel. He added that when he made the remark about the defendant's conduct, the latter made no reply. Henry Dives, ticket-collector at the London-bridge terminus, stared that when the Gretvesend train arrived, at hall-past biz o'clock the previous evening, he observed the complainant' crying very much, and, en inquiring into the cause, was then informed that she had been grossly insulted on the journey to town. The defendant was pointed out to him as her assailant, and witness then asked her if she would give him in charge, and she having expressed a desire to do so, he took him into custody. The witness added that when the charge was preferred against the defendant he gave no answer to it. Mr. Binns said, although the complainant spoke so positively to the detendant, yer, if his inwruetious were correct, she was quite mistaken as to his being the per son by whom she was assaulted. That the defendant was a young man of highly respectable family, lied been four years in the situation he now filled, and that tee firm by whom he was employed had so high an opinion of his moral conduct, and were so confident that he would not have acted in the way imputed to him, that they not only became his bail to appear at that court, but were also prepared to give security for his appear ance before any other tribunal if the magistrate thought fit to send him there. That a witness' was in attendance who was present in the carriage, and who would prove that the defendant was not the man who had perpetrated the assault. He then called Robert Denny, who stated that he is a tradesman at Chatham, and that on the previous evening he came up in the same carriage from Woolwich with the defendant, whom he had known since he was a child. That they both sat nearly opposite the complainant in the same compartment, and that he had not observed his friend take improper liberties with her, nor did be hear her appeal for protection to any person, or bear her scream out at the time she alleged the defendant thrust his hand up her clothes. By Mr.. ATECKZTT—Believed he must have seen the defeudant if he put his hand on complainant's knee be tore the train entered the tunnel. Admitted, however, that if the complainant screamed out when in the tunnel, be might not have heard her, owing to the noise pro duced by the train. Mr. A'Becterre• remarked that the charge was one of so serious a nature against the defendant, namely, that of grossly assaulting a tenaale passenger. and taking ad vantage of the darkness that prevailed when the train w:As past:jog through she tunnel to effect his purpose, tbat he should not dispose of the case himself, but should send it before another tribunal. He (the magistrate) should, therefore, adjudge the defendant to find two sureties of 501. each to appear .to answer the charge at the next sessions. It was intimated that the complainant's father, being in very indigent circumstances, wa. not in a condition to bray the. ex p•-n4e4 of a prosecution, upon which Mr. ATECKETT said that if the railway company did not do so, he *unlit apply to the Home-office on the subject, so that the law should not be defeated in a case which concerned th- public ar large. rif E 1851. . e t'a-urn's or r ') gre.it th'si :my be doubted, .wirh certAn R.rsons, whether redress he nut the last thing in the world the.) , de , ,ire.

Fur example, we teems a tesouraole place for the one we are ourselves about to prefer, which, though it may seem at first sight almost too personal in its character, does, we think, in reality concern the public as much as ourselves. The case of " Wilks against Lawson," fur a libel published in this journal, was tried yesterday at Guildhall, and resulted in a verdict for the plain tiff, with one farthing damages. Unprofessional readers may require an explanation of this ver dict, which reads like a contradiction of itself. It is the same as if the jury had said— " The libel was, in fact, published, but the ,plaintiff had no right to complein of it." In short, it is the old Irish verdict in the assault case, where the prisoner had beyond all question broken the pro secutor's h-ad—" Guilty, and served him right." So far so good,—the smallest coin of the realm is not much to pay fur the liberty of the press ; but the sting is behind. The costs are to be paid, and withou• letting the public into the secret of our attorney's bill, we may say that the amount is eque valent to a heavy fine fur what a jury have pro nounced to le no offence. The history of the case is as follows the 2d of May, 1850, Wilks was turnkey of Marlborough-street Police court, but was absent that day at the time the pri soners were brought from the lock up cells to the presence of the magistrates. Among these prisoners was one Hackett, a notorious offender, and another named Mackenzie. These men when called to appear were not found, and their fellow- prisoners said they had been let out by a person whose dress and appear ance they particularly described, but whom they were subsequently unable to identify. An official inquiry was made into the circumstances of the escape, upon which Wilks was discharged, and the deputy turnkey degraded. It appeared that Hackett when in confinement boasted that he would not lung re main there, because he had money, and with his fa ther's assistance he could make up a sum of twenty pounds. After this boast, and shortly before the escape, Wilks was closeted on two occasions with the father and a woman who cohabited with Heckel, and was also seen drinking with them. These facts, with many others which need not be mentioned for our present purpose, were published in the Times of the 3d of December, 1850, and our reporter in relating thew used these words :—" The authorities instittited an inquiry, and it turned out that a turnkey bad received a large sum of money to effect his liberation." This little sentence contained the libel which the plaintiff declared upon and the de• fendant denied. The result was as we have stated. Wilks has gained nothing by his action—not . even a loss, for he sued in former pauperis ; and we 'have to pay a considerable penalty in the shape of costs. This, then, is our grievance—not ours particularly, but that of all the press ; and unless it can be shown to be quite inevitable, we have a right to demand redress. The. London journal, no matter under what name it eppears, is a daily record of the world's doings. From the snows of Ross and Franklin to the Cape of Good Hope, and from China to Peru, its arms are stretched out to comprehend the whole human race. In the palace and the police-court, in the Minister's Cabinet and the Chancellor's study, among Lords and Commons, on the platform and in the witness- box, on'Change and in the merchant's counting house—everywhere the " reporter" may be found, though not seen. And these thousand streams of news are made to converge to one point once in every 24 hours, and are served up to the public every morning with their breakfast. To execute such a work with perfect regularity is no easy task, and at least' we may claim to be offered no impediment in its performance. Yet, as the law stands, any idle tale of injury to cha racter may be trumped up by the most worthless vagabond, and used as an instrument of vexation and pecuniary loss against the journalist.. Until the millennium comes he must live perpetually in hot water. Until every man is as good as he can be, and no one can possibly have anything to say against any one else, wo to the newspapers ! Every record of a folly or a crime may call up its avenger. The uncertificated bankrupt who has cheated his creditors and filed a schedule with a balance of nil to pay them with, is the victim of adverse fate, and brings his action against the newspaper which dares to say the contrary. No matter that he is defeated and gets a reproof in• stead of a verdict. He has no money to pay costs (except perhaps his attorney's), but the defendant has, and in that manner he is punished, and so the end is gained. This is not to be understood as an appeal ad misericordiam. It is a simple statement of a fact which concerns the whole press, and, rightly understood, affects the public quite as much. The peril of vexatious actions of libel under which the journalist lies undoubtedly operates to suppress the truth. Many an act of injustice is unpublished because the publication would be a libel, and many a sting ing truth is unsaid through fear of the law. It is not difficult to perceive the real ultimate conse quence of this state of things, nor to understand who are the chief sufferers by it. Nothing is easier than for us to be silent, but our silence would be an injury to the public, which would lose one of its securities against roguery. That we are not al ways silent is rather a proof of imprudence than the performance of a duty; for if the law chooses to tie our hands, we cannot be expected to work without them. There is a maxim, often quoted, and much admired, and we see no reason why it should not be applied in cases of libel. It is the motive, they say, which constitutes the crime and the motive is to be inferred from the acts of to , accused. Now, in nine cases out of ten of allege. libels in respectable newspapers, the motive, so far from being bad, has been obviously and no toriously good—the exposure of some roguery, or the denunciation of some abuse. And yet this has not and cannot always save the defen dants from an adverse verdict, ar.d never protects them from great expense. Why not ? On what principle of morality or ground of policy are men to suffer for doing no wrong—rather, we may say, for doing right ? Is it for the protection of private character against the assaults of anonymous pens ? But it is generally supposed that honest men suffer when rogues escape, and we are sure that rogues do escape by reason of this defect of the law. Or is it by way of police to restrain the license of the press ? But the restraint, we fear, operates merely to impose silence upon those who are Rot disposed to abuse the liberty of speech ; but it takes no license from the licentious. (From the Daily News.) It is singular that in the course of one week in the same court, and before the same judge, actions of libel should have been tried against two of the morning journals, and that each should have re sulted in a verdict of one farthing damages. The causes of offence which could be measured by such verdicts, cannot, in the opinion of the juries, have been large, and, in the case of our contemporary the Times, against whom the plaintiff sued in forma pauperis, it can only have been a sense of public duty which prompted the defence, inasmuch as the costs must, under any circumstances, have been borne by them. In the case, of which a report is contained in this day's paper, the point involved was one of very considerable importance, not only to ourselves, but to the entire press. It was the degree of protecti o n which might be claimed for a bona fide and fair report of proceedings in a police court. S uc h reports have lately formed the chief cheval de bataille fur ac tions against newspapers, and they have been unduly dangerous on account of the presumption that if in such reports there were . the lea s t var i ance f rom the actual depositions of the witnesses, even although the circumstances took place, or th e s t a t emen t s w e re made, that judicially a libel had been published and damages must follow, bringing with them costs in case such damages were estimated at 40s. The charge of the Lord Chief Justice has now laid down a rule which, with free protection to the public, places the press in comparative safety against the attacks to which they have hitherto been exposed. Both these points are settled by his observations : If the publication complained of be a fair ac count of proceedi ngs at a po li ce cour t, th en I am of opinion that in point of law the defendant is en titled to your verdict. But if it be a garbled ac• count—if anything be omitted that ought to have been stated, or much more, if anything be intro duced that did not take place—then it is libellous, and the law will punish it." This doctrine is worthy of the author of the Act known as Lord Campbell's Act. The importance of this view to cases, such as that which was the subject of investigation on Saturday, is apparent. The formal procredlngs iii police courts are necessarily short and hasty. .11 , e magistrate forms his opioion from the statements made to him wheqier a summons shall be issued, and when the parties come before him, much that takes place is of a conversational character, and nothing is placed on record beyond what is essential to sustain ulterior proceedings. And yet it is of the last importance to the public and to the cause of public morals that the proceedings at these courts should be reported, for it is by the fear of exposure as much as of punishment that they act as restraints on the higher and middle classes. The reports of the inflction of a ss. fine on a resp-ctable person found drunk would be a much greater punishment than the payment of the fine. And although the report of which complaint was made in the action tried on Saturday, may have been painful and distressing to the parties principally concerned, it must have acted as a caution to prevent in many other quarters the mischief which had been done in this instance. If , to all ~• ~- ‘..:1 , ,1., l-,ad 1, -..,. to succes.ful, it 'would have ten.. :,. ..t ~ da,g , roos hert after ;o give publicity t)...lice report, 4nd one of the most important No uoous of a new,./e:per, the exposure of folly and crime and Of their conAtqe. laces, would have beep abrogated.

It was compbb of as "an entire fabrication." The complaint wo_ evidently grossly exaggerated, but the parties iveire': asked T to point out any error which had been tna u .. They refused, and insisted upon suing for redre b s i i Reference was then made to the reporter, and be notes of each bearing were found to corroborat° t readl report ; and an officer of the court, upon the report, said that it was fair, and that the langn,g., in which it was couched was mor e moderate tuoi7 that which the parties used.

The Evening Post has the following authorised contradiction of these groundless reports:— " A foolish placard has been posted through town during the course of this day, purporting to have ema nated from a newspaper office, to the effect that Lord Clarendon had gone to London. We have authority t state that there is no foundation whatever for such a re port, and that the levee to-morrow (Wednesday), and the drawing. room on Thursday will be held conformable to the public announcement." ACTIONS FOR LIBEL.—Tho long litigated case of " Wynne v. the Marquis of Westmeath" was brought to termination in the Nisi Prius Exchequer yesterday evening. The trial lasted eight days. Four witnesses were produced to prove the plaintiff's case, twenty seven to aubetantiate the defendant's ples of justifica tion, and fourteen to prove the plaititiff's rebut:ieg case. The Chief Baron yesterday occupied efts , n hours to charging the jury. The jury retired, and after an ale scenee of about half an hour, returned into court with e verdict for the plaintiff, 2.0001. damages, and 61 eobts. SALE or ENCUMBERED ESTATES.—There were two properties offered for sale by the Commissioners yester day. The first put up was the estate of John Thomas Jessop, consisting of a portion of the Mount Jessop estate, in the county of Longford, held in fee simple. No per son having come forward to make a bidding, the sale of this property was adjourned to a future day. The next property offered was the estate of William P. A. Sutton, and comprised the impropriate tithe- rent charge of severe( parishes in the dioceses of Lismore and Cashel, in the county of Tipperary. The property was divided into six lots, four of which were sold, and realised a sum of 6,980/. The sale of the other lots was adjourned in consequence of the inadequacy of the biddings.
