RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (SATURDAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. CALEDONIAN RAILWAY. The Committee met to-day at eleven o'clock, when the further consideration of the clauses of the Bill for this line of railway was resumed. The claim of Sir Thomas Darymple, which we referred to yes terday, was this morning settled by the introduction of a clause into the Bill to protect his property. Mr. Ausrix requested the Committee, as they had given a fa. vourable opinion respecting the traffic on the Glasgow, Dumfries, and Carlisle line, to accede to a resolution embodying that opinion. The Committee refused the request of the Learned Gentleman, and intinaated they would express no opinion further than they had done in the progress of the investigation. The opposition of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Company was ter minated by the Committee agreeing to certain clauses for the pro tection of the interests of the company. The clauses of the Bill, with these additions, were then gone into and agreed to. THE CLYDESDALE JUNCTION RAILWAY. Mr. HOPE opened the case on behalf of this line of railway, which is to form one part of the forks of the Caledonian line to the city of Glasgow. He went at length into the leading features of the Bill, the particulars of which hare already appeared, showing the immense advantage it would confer on the district through which it passed, in the conveyance of mineral traffic, indepen dently of the passengers that might reasonably be calculated on. The only opponents to the Bill in its present stage, he stated, were Mr. Graham, a landed proprietor on the line, who was not satisfied with the compensation afforded, Mrs. Hamilton, of Bothwell-park, and the Garukirk and Glasgow Railway Company. The latter Com. pany opposed them on the supposition that the present line would take away from them a portion of their present traffic. Having corn merited in detail on the various points which he intended to prove in evidence, the Learned Gentleman proceeded to call his witnesses. Mr. Black, baker, and member of the town council of Hamilton, was called, to prove that in the present traffic between that town and the city of Glasgow there were engaged no less than nine stage coaches, making each two trips daily. He showed that the pro posed line would materially advantage the trade of Hamilton and the agricultural interests of the surrounding districts; and parti cularly it would give an impetus to the trade in gas coal, which even now employed from seventy to eighty horses and carts regu larly in taking that coal to Glasgow. The general interests of the district required such a line as that under consideration. Mr. Henderson, banker of Hamilton, corroborated the evidence liven by Mr. Black. Mr. Orr, cashier of the Blantyre cotton-works on the Clyde, gave evidence respecting the amount of the traffic between that establishment and Glasgow, the particulars of which have been already published. Mr. Wilson, of Dundyvon iron-works, was examined generally respecting the mineral resources of the district, and in regard to the amount of iron and coal that might be expected to be carried along the Motherwell branch of the Clydesdale line. He re. peated some facts respecting the large and increasing mineral produce of that part of the country which have already been given in the report of the evidence before the Commons' Committee. Mr. Stewart, ironmaiter, and Mr. Stretchbury, mineral surveyor, were examined as to the mineral resources of the district ; at the termination of which the Committee adjourned till Monday next ♦t eleven o'clock. STANDING ORDERS COMMITTREC. The Committee met at twelve o'clock, the Earl of Shaftesbury in the chair. The Wear Valley Railway Bill was first brought under the con. sideration of the Committee. It was unopposed and passed. TUE EDINBURGH NORTHERN RAILWAY. This Bill was next brought before the Committee. It was opposed on the ground that due notice had not hock pven, and that the technical forms had not been complied with. The chief objection of this sort was, that notice had not been given of alterations which had been made in the progress of the Bill. This allegation was answered by the promoters, who stated that they could not have anticipated the alterations which the Com mittee of the House of Commons had made. It was decided that the standing orders had been complied with. The Bill then passed through Committee. but it was rumoured that it would 6e stoutly opposed on its merits in a Commit tee of the Lords. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP P. IvIIONMOUTH AND HEREFORD RAILWAY. The Committee reassembled at the usual hour this morning, and immediately proceeded to the consideration of the above scheme. Mr. Tatater opened the case for the promoters by observing that he proposed to submit to the Committee an unopposed Bill, and he hoped there would be no difficulty in the matter. It would be necessary to alter the preamble of the Bill. In consequence of the difficulty attending the crossing aaf the Severn, it was intended to abandon the part of the railway in Wit vicinity. The alterations rested on the expediency of con .structing a line of railway to Standish. A junction would be formed with the South Wales Railway, so as more intimately to connect Monmeuthshire and Herefordshire with that line. Powers would then be required to be taken to make a short branch into the Forest of Dean, w as more effectually to open up that rich mineral district ; and by continuing the line to the eastward an unbroken line of communication would be established between Hereford, Ross, Monmouth, and London. A project had some time since been referred to the Committee, which had met with favourable notice, and was called the Gloucester and Forest of Dean Railway. It had, however, beed defeated in the Standing Orders Committee, and it was proposed to Make a communication with that line when it should receive the ParliaiCentary sanction. The line would termiNate at theparish of Blaisdon, so that. he junction with the shorter railway could be easily effected. The length of the line had been laid down at 45 miles, it had, howevs7, been sub,equently reduced to 34 miles. It was proposed, however, to retain the original capital in the Bill of 550,0001. The Board of Trade had reported favourably of the line, and had stated that it was well calculated to afford general accommodation to the districts which it traversed, and would be of great service to the Forest of Dean, by opening up the mineral fields there. It was proposed by this branch to furnish Hereford with a proper supply of coals. The present price of coals at the pit's mouth was 6s. 6d. per ton, and the expense of carriage by the Wye was 95., and, if carried by land the amount was 13s. The railway would convey the coal for 3s. per ton, so that the coal which was now sold in Hereford at 21s. per ton would, if the railway were constructed, be sold at the moderate price of 1 Is. per ton. He would also remark that in Hereford, which was a kind of Arcadia, nothing was so much desired as a facile commu nication with neighbouring counties for the disposal of its agricul tural and orchard produce, the trade in which was now almost in abey ance in consequence of the great expense and delay in transmission. Cyder was at present a complete drug in the market, and was sold at a mere nominal price, averaging from 4d. to 6d. per gallon, a price which was not nearly sufficient to remunerate the producer. It was also to be hoped that before long Herefordshire would possess a legitimate market for the sale of its hops. It was a notorious fact that nine-tenths of the hops sold at Worcester were originally brought from Herefordshire. The construction of the proposed line would tend in every way to promote the interests of Hereford and Monmouth, and the intermediate and adjacent places. He would not enter into any exposition of the engineering details, as he intended very shortly to call Mr. Brunel, the engineer, who would explain to the Committee the course of the line. He would now proceed with the examination of witnesses, and as the Bill was unopposed, he trusted the Committee would be in a condition to pass the preamble of the line without any difficulty. In reply to a question from Mr. CHIPPS, Mr. TeLiscie said it was his intention to have the line •estried frurn Westbury, via Gloucester, to the:north bank of the Nevem Mr. Anthony, who was the first witness called, stated that a proper supply of coals would be a very important point, The coals were principally supplied from the Forest of Dean, and were generally brought by the Wye. Very little was exported in consequence of tho difficulty attending its transude. sion. The witness also spoke as to the traffic in copse.wood for charcoal, hops, and cyder, which latter article was sold at 2id. per gallon, and deposed generally as to the benefits which would be derived to the county if the line were constructed. Mr. S. Powell, of Old Forge, said he had been engaged in trade an his life, and was well acquainted with the navigation of the Wye, and also possessed a complete knowledge of the trade in the coun ties of Monmouth and Hereford. The commerce was principally conveyed by water. Great quantities of bark and copse wood wore produced in Herefordshire. The wood, when converted into claarco.i, would be transmitted by the railway into Staffordshire, for the use of the iron trade. The CHAIRMAN, at the close of the examination of the last witness, said it was not necessary to examine any more witnesses as to the general produce of the districts which the line traversed. The principal difficulty in the project was the branch to Blarsdon. It appeared to the Committee that there would not be a sufficient terminus there. Mr. AUSTIN said he would at once proceed to the engineering evidence, so as to satisfy the Committee of the practicability of the entire scheme. Mr. Brunel deposed that there would be no difficulty in making a railway into the Forest of Dean so as to join Gloucester. The total mileage of the main line was thirty-two miles and a fraction, which was exclusive of the Forest of Dean branch From Mon- mouth to Hereford the distance would be twenty-two miles, and the branch from there to Westbury would be rather more than ten miles. The small branch to the Forest of Dean, to unite with the Forest of Dean Railway, would_be: four miles in length. The capital for the construction of the line was 550,0001. The line did not present any very serious engineering difficulties. A considerable number of tunnels would, however, be necessary, as the railway passed through a very rough country. The tunnels could all be easily worked, as the strata consisted prin. cipally of red sandstone. The length of the principal tunnel was 1,432 yards. The whole number of tunnels on the line was nine, but they were generally very short. Several of them were of the sec tional area of 28 feet by 25 feet, The steepest gradient consisted of lin 81, and was two miles and 56 chains in length. The smallest radius of a curve was 18 chains, which was situated near the Ross station, and its position was not at all objectionable. A ew highways would be crossed on the level, but none of them were of any considerable importance. The line would communicate with the South Wales Railway at Monmouth, so as to open up a commit. nication with that quarter. The working expenses would be 40 per cent. on the gross results. Mr. Saunders, the Secretary to the Great Western Company, was then called on to produce the traffic tables. The anticipated revenue from travellers generally, from merchandise by land and sea, and from the coal traffic of the Forest of Dean, amounted to to the sum of £47,769 18 5 Deduct the working expenses at 40 per cent 19,108 0 0 The total net annual income would be £29,661 18 5 With the last witness the evidence on behalf of the promoters of the line was concluded. The Committee decided that the preamble of the Bill was proved. The clauses were also agreed to, and the Committee broke up. The Bill will be reported on Monday. GROUP X. TIM DIRECT NORTHERN RAILWAY. The Committee appointed to consider the numerous projects and Bills in this group, re-assembled at half-past eleven o'clock, and proceeded to hear evidence in favour of the Direct Northern line. Members present—Viscount Courtenay, Mr. Darby, Mr. B. Wall, and Mr. Scrope. Mr. William Wells, farmer, Booth Ferry, was first called, to show that on his own farm of 450 acres, and in his immediate neighbourhood, great quantities of potatoes were grown for the London market, which were at present shipped per the Ouse, Trent, and Humber rivers, to Hull, and thence shipped to London. The cost of such carriage was 12s. per ton ; but if the proi,o,e,l railway were constructed, the cost of transit would be diminished very considerably, and a great saving would be effected in point of time. Mr. William Clark, farmer, Duddington, county of Lincoln, had 150 out of 800 acres under potatoes, and forwarded them to London. lie quite agreed with the last witness, that a great saving would b e e ffected in the period required, and in cost of transit, if the railway under consideration were constructed. The number of tat cattle sent to Wakefield, Rotherham, and other markets was 1,025, and of sheep, 1,600. The cattle trade was greatly impeded for want of an efficient communication with the several markets east and south. These witnesses were crosi.examined by Mr. Sergeant Wawa. KAU, but without any result differing in the slightest degree Won that in the examination in chief. _ Mr. John Morley, farmer, Easthorpe Hall, county of York, grew potatoes and wheat in considerable quantities, which were for. warded to London and the other markets, north, east, and south. He knew the surrounding district well, and calculated that the annual quantity of wheat tent to town was 10,000 quartets and of potatoes 20,000 tons. John Adams, ironmonger, oilman, and colourman, Thorne pur. chased his goods in Birmingham, Wolverhampton, and London, in considerable quantities. They came from Thorne to Gainsborough by the canal, and cost about 7s. ed. a ton. The Direct Northern Railway would be of great advantage to himself and others, and it would save a considerable expense in transit. Mr. John Whittaker, a farmer at Thorne, and owner of 700 acres of land in the neighbourhood, stated that he had taken the population and acreage of both lines, allowing every parish which touched for a distance of five miles, for the line to come into the estimate. He understood that the distance between Gainsborough and Selby by the London and York line was 37 miles, while by the Direct Northern it was only 30 miles, saving a distance of 7 miles. In the several parishes which he had estimated, the number of acres on the London and York line was 145,570 acres, worth about twenty shillings an acre, while on the Direct Northern there were 151,980 acres. Of this however, 10,000 acres were nearly altogether waste, but the rest was all good and worth fully 255. an acre. The land on the London and York line was decidedly poor and light, but the popu lation upon it was more than that on the other by 2,441 persons. With respect to warping the land he saw no difficulty whatever in providing culverts so as to carry the warp out with effect in im. proving the land. To the cross.examination of Mr. Sergeant WRINOELM, Mr. Whittaker stated that he had not taken any estimate whateve of the larger district of ten miles in the neighbourhood of the li r ne. He knew the navigation very well on the line of the river Don, and that it was very considerable, but he did not see that the rail way crossing the river would present any impediment. The market at Doncaster was certainly a very good one, but not so good as that at Wakefield in price, where the greater quantity of the wheat grown in the Isle of Axholme was sold, but he sold most of his own wheat at Thorne. Thorne was a very small market, and notwithstanding it had two means of access by water, it was a much worse market than that at Doncaster, in consequence of the water being a tidal strearn-o.the circumstance of Doncaster lying between the manufacturing district on the west, and the agri. cultural district on the east. There was, however, s large district to the north and east of Doncaster, which notwithstanding the existence of the North Midland Railway, sent its corn to Doncaster. The whole district would be accommodated by the Direct Northern line. The cost of sending cattle to Wake field from Crowle was ss. a-head, exclusive of the commission for selling, which by railway the charge would only be I id. per mile for each beast. He expected to send his cattle forward to Wake. field by the Pontefract and Goole Railway, but he did not know that that line was 20 feet above the Direct Northern, nor that the Leeds and Selby was 16 feet higher, nor that no junction was shown with any line. To the re-examination of Mr. M. SMITH, the witness stated that the circumstance of the railway passing the warp on an embank. ment would give a facility for turning the culverts and making the sewers. Mr. Rhodes, grocer at Snaith, was in the habit of receiving about 56 tons of goods a year from London, which usually were close upon three weeks on the passage. But in winter the water communication was frequently obstructed. The parish of Snaith was very extensive, comprising twelve townships. The population in 1241 was 19,444. Whitgift was about thirteen miles south.east of Snalth, containing a population of 2,520. Adlington was a little more to the south.east, with a considerable population, and there was no likelihood of the district being accommodated by any other railway but the Direct Northern. To the cross-examination of Sergt. KINGLAKI, the witness stated that the London and York line passed about 334 miles west of Epworth. There were some townships of the Snaith parish, but the inhabitants were decidedly in favour of the Direct Northern line. Mr. Thomas Smithson, a brick and tile manufacturer and iron. founder, lately at Selby, where he had lived 33 years, :stated that there was a good deal of traffic between Selby and Lincoln, there being upwards of 600 tons of rape and linseed cake sent annually from the latter to the former place ; while there were also upwards of 150 tons of flour sent from Lincoln and Selby for consumption at Manchester. It was now sent by the rivers Trent and Humber, the distance by that route being 78 mile.. By the Direct Northern the distance would be only 45 miles, and there would be greater certainty in the carriage. The London and York line was longer than this by seven miles, it making a saving of Is. a ton in the carriage. There was a considerable traffic between Gainsborough and Selby, a good deal of iron being sent from the latter to the former place, although at the present time there was no public convey. ante whatever. There was also a large quantity of flax and linseed sent from Hull to Selby. In the article of coal. no doubt, there would be a large increase in traffic. By the formation of the Direct Northern line coal would be obtained in the district at 4s. 4d. a ton for engineering purposes, and household coal for about 75. 6d. The London and York line passed directly through the town of Selby—through the streets—and would, in all probability, by doing so, prove a great impediment to business. To the cross-examination of Mr. Sergeant KINGLACI, the wit. nets replied that the flour atid other things from Lincoln were in. tended for the Manchester market, and did not stop at Selby at all. The probability, therefore, was that, in the event of a railway being made from Lincoln to Sheffield, the goods would go by that route. Mr. John Wormheld—Resided at Fulford, about three miles from York ; is a landowner and an English timber mer chant. He had purchased the timber of Lord Carlisle since the year 1827, as well as largely of other proprietors. The north of Lincolnshire was exceedingly thin of timber, and he had been in the habit of sending 500 tons a year into that county. At present he sent by water, but if the railway were made, he should send it by that means, as there would be a saving of 25. 6d. a ton in the carriage to Gainsborough. and a similar saving to Brigg, if the Lincoln and Sheffield line were made. The difference to him of sending by the Direct Northern, instead of by the London and York, would be a saving by the former line of eight miles, and in money Is. a ton. There was a good deal of shipbuilding at Thorne, though the consumption of last year had not been so great as usual. Mr. Backhouse of Weston, near York, a landowner, stated that the London and York line passed Camwood just at the junction of two streets, and would be a great in convenience to the town. The Direct Northern passed about 200 yards away from that spot, and would interfere less with the to "n great deal than the other line. It also passed at a higher w ould interfere less with the drainage of the district, level, a. and was certA tot adapted for the place. on the part of the promoters of th e line, This closed thee.. 4611'-'° till twelve on Monday, when the And the Committee at;7""" i'Ll on and 'Pork for the decision application of the Counsel for to. - (,p7 Jon of the Committee on their line is to be.

The purchase was eventually arranged on the 30th of August. Several auctioneers were also examined, but all ap peared to be of opinion that in such a case they should have made the charge. The jury eventually returned a verdict for the plaintiff —Damages 6441. Bs. 6d. The sum of 3001. had been paid into Court. lical manner ? Prisoner—Ah, sir, you don't know what I have to put up with. The child, though very young, has got a very bad disposition, and what I am to do with her I don't know. My husband has deserted me, and if she is not placed in some asylum she will drive me mad. The poor little creature, who is not more than three years of age, kept fondling about her, and appeared deeply attached to her, being quite unmindful of the na ture of the proceedings. Mr. Alderman Cr:taws—And that, you think, ren ders your placing your offspring under a waggon-wheel quite justifiable ? Prisoner—What am I to do ? My days must not be made miserable by the child. The ALDERMAN said he was satisfied what sort of a oharacter she was, and remarked that the child should be sent to the union, and the prisoner to Bridewell for seven days on low diet. MAR YLEB ONE. Mr. John Fiddes, the husband of the formerly cele brated vocalist, Miss Harriet Cawse, was placed at the bar before Mr. Long, for re-examination, charged with the following robbery of plate, a short account of which appeared in our columns last week. From theevidence ad duced on the previous occasion, it appeared that, on the evening of Friday, the 29th ult., the prisoner entered the shop of Messrs. Osborne and Co., silversmiths, No. 22, St. James's-street, and presented a note to the clerk, the contents of which were as follows:—" Mr. Osborne will thank Mrs. Fiddes to send him a line, to say whether he will do right to send a money order to her as he has directed the note—June 17th, 1845. No. 22, St. James's-street." The prisoner remained at the counter while the witness showed it to Mr. Osborne, jun., who said he knew nothing about it. Witness then told the prisoner so, and handing him back the note, he left the shop. Shortly afterwards six silver forks, bearing a crest, were missing from the counter. No other person having been in the shop, the prisoner was suspected as the thief, and subsequently apprehended, at his residence, No. 4, St. Anne's-villas, St. John's-wood. Phoebe Diggle now deposed that she was housemaid in the service of Mr. Osborne. On Tuesday morning last, between the hours of nine and ten o'clock, she was in the front kitchen, when she heard something drop into the area, and on going thereto, picked up the six silver forks produced, wrapped up in brown paper. The prisomer declined making any defence, and was fully committed for trial. CLERKEIV WELL. William Knight, a young man, was charged with plun • dering his employer, Mr. Henry Court, printer, of Brook-street, Holborn. The prosecutor stated that the prisoner had been but a few months in his employ, and in the short period of their acquaintance was greatly esteemed by him. On Friday, on applying to Mr. Roe, tea dealer, of High street, Shoreditch, for a sum of 161. 4s. which was due to witness, he ascertained that it had been paid to the prisoner. Subsequently, many other defalcations have been made known to the prosecutor, and for the attend ance of witnesses to support them the prisoner was remanded. South Eastern Railway (Tunbridge to Tunbridge Wells). London and Croydon Railway Enlargement. The London and York Railway Bill, petition for additional provision, was referred to the Select Committee on petitions for private Bills. The Manchester and Leeds Railway (No. 2), report from the Select Committee on petitions for private Bills read; another Bill ordered to be brought in by Mr. Entwisle and Mr. Milner Gibson. The Manchester and Leeds Railway (No. 2) Bill was pre sented and read a first time. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, July 5. (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.) LORD HUNTINGTOWER'S INSOLVENCY. Lord Huntingtower appeared before the Court on his petition. Originally, when the case came before the Court, it was adjourned on the ground that a suit was pending in one of the ecclesiastical courts, between Lord and Lady Dysart, and it was expected that something would be done for the insolvent, the only son and heir to the title. Nothing, however, had been done, and it was stated that the suit was still pending. Mr. E. JAMES (who appeared for the insolvent) said the creditors generally had signed a consent to the ad journment, bat one wished the case to be heard, which he had no doubt the Court would grant. Mr. BRAMWELL appeared for Mr. Stephen Cox, a horse• dealer, in Stamford-street, Blackfriars-road, to op pose on the ground that a debt of 1201. had been fraudu lently incurred. The complaint occupied the Court some time. The insolvent was examined, as also Mr. George Ford, soli citor, of Henrietta-street, Covent-garden, and Mr. Cox, the oppc,sing creditor. The evidence showed, that soon after the insolvent obtained his certificate in 1843, under his bankruptcy, he called on Mr. Cox and purchased a horse, for which he paid him by a cheque of Mr. Ford's on his banker. Subsequently ho purchased two mares for 170/., return ing the former horse, and giving a cheque for 1201. on Mr. Ford. Mr. Cox refused to part with the animals, as Mr. Ford was out of town. The insolvent pressed him, and he let him have them, on the assurance that the cheque would be paid when Mr. Ford came to town. When that gentleman arrived he had no funds, nor had he authorised the insolvent to draw on him. He had since the bankruptcy discounted two bills of exchange drawn by the insolvent on Messrs. Higgins, hosiers, who had since become bankrupts, and the bills were not paid. The case presented on the part of the insolvent was to the effect that he had been promised assistance by Messrs. Higgins to about 10,0001., and he meant to pay off his old debts. He intended to provide funds at Mr. Ford's to meet the cheque he had given to Mr. Cox by the Monday following the deal. Ho had offered to re turn the horses, which was refused, as also to settle the matter, but Mr. Tawney, who was Mr. Cox's solicitor, had expressed his intention to make a criminal charge of the matter, and would not listen to any terms. lie had sold the mares for 401. to Mr. Dent, of Crawford street. Mr. Cox said he had given more than 100/. fur the mares. He considered that he had been defrauded out of his property. Mr. BRAMWELL submitted that a case had been esta blished as of' a debt incurred under false pretences. Mr. E. JAMES admitted the case was a painful one, but hoped, notwithstanding the improper conduct of the young nobleman, that there was nothing in it to brand him for the remainder of his life. It was most lamentable that he, the heir of a title and to a fortune of between 50,000/. and 80,000/. a year, should have been deserted as he had been by his father, and obliged to live on the casual assistance rendered. Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE, in giving his opinion, said he should dismiss from his mind the charge of false pretences. The charge, if it could have been supported, should have been brought before a jury. But there were some words in the Act which he could not get over. He could not say that this was a debt incurred with any reasonable expectations of payment. k Certainly it was lamentable to see the heir of a fortune and title so left by Lord Dysart, whose duty it was to have acted in a different manner: it was his duty to his son, as the heir of a title, and for the sake of the dignity, which was a public trust, and not confined to any private or personal gratification, to have seen that his son had some means afforded him. He should adjourn the case sine die, and when the public knew that whatever estate he had was bested in the Court, they would not induce him to con tract debts, and t he harpies, perhaps, who had surrounded him, would let him alone. The Court adjourned the case sine die. Mr. E. JAMES asked fur a short protection. The COURT refused. The adjournment without pro tection was meant as a punishment. The insolvent must expect to suffer for his conduct. There was permission given by the Act to apply at a future period. NOTICES GIVEN AT THE PRIVATE BILL OFFICE.

PROTEST AGAINST THE THIRD READING OF THE SCOTTISH BANKING BILL. 1. Because I can see no possible benefit likely to result from this Bill, and none has been stated in the debate, except in the event of such an emergency as has never yet occurred, which in my opinion it is rather calculated to occasion, and which it supplies no new means of meeting. 2. Because it will at once check and ultimately put an end to that competition which has heretofore existed amongst the banks of Scotland, and which has rendered banking re markable for cheapness, efficiency, and safety, and highly beneficial to all the interests in that country. 3. Because, though I consider the evils hence resulting quite certain, they will not be so palpable as to invite or suggest a repeal of this law. They will not exhibit them selves by any calamity, or produce any immediate distress, but they will silently prevent that advance in prosperity which might otherwise have been attained. If similar pro visions had been enacted twenty years ago, it is evident that Scotland would not have enjoyed the advantages which are universally admitted to have resulted from its banking sys tern ; but no one would have known that, but for those enactments, it would have been more prosperous ; in like manner, hereafter, as no one will be able to say what would have been the state of the country if this Bill had not passed, so no one will be able to trace the amount of evil which it will have produced, or of good which it will have prevented.

E 4• P. Z Z . ; i t. , - 30 t ' h . O '- US SOUTH NARK Catherine Neal was charged with having deserted her 'our children by leaving them on Blackfriars-bridge. Mr. Carslake, the relieving-officer of St. George's, Southwark, stated that in 1843 four children were brought to the workhouse of the parish, being found crying on Blackfriars-bridge ; that upon questioning them it was ascertained they had been taken from a lodging-house on Saffron-hill by their mother, to Black friars-bridge, and that she then abandoned them. The prisoner was sought after, but the place of her retreat was not discovered, and she never called to make any in quiries as to the fate of her children. She, however, was met on the preceding afternoon in the Borough, and was then taken into custody. In answer to the charge. the prisoner said she was a widow, left with four children, and that finding she was wholly unable to procure them subsistence she left them on the above bridge, confident that they would be taken to some workhouse, where they would, at all events, be kept from starving, which would have be en the case if they remained with her. That had she taken them her self to the workhouse she knew they would not be ad mitted without she consented to go in with them, and, as she wished to earn her own living, she adopted the alternative of placing them on the bridge and then walk ing away. She added, that she got into a place, but was compelled to leave it through illness, and was afraid to go and make inquiries after her children, under the dread that she should be punished for leaving them. Mr. COTTINGHAM said that the prisoner exhibited a total want of maternal feeling in deserting her children, and that the tears she now shed were purely those of affectation, for it would be absurd to suppo-e that if she had a spark of natural feeling left she would have acted in the manner described. The Magistrate then sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (SATURDAY.) BOW-STREET. Tita BYLOIAN COMPANY AT COTEINT.CLADEN DICATRIL-Mr. Robertson, the treasurer of Covent-garden Theatre, waited on Mr. Jardine, in consequence of a report having appeared in the morning papers to the effect that he had not only excluded a portion of the Belgian Company from the theatre, but also that he had locked up others in the house against their will, to which he was prepared to give a different version, for he had experienced since their en. gaging the theatre nothing but what was highly creditable to them, and the best feeling existed between him and the directors of the company, with whom he had as interview a few days back ; and they then informed him that, in consequence of the Anti-Corn. law League meetings being held in the house, the Court would not countenance by their attendance any performance there and they should have recourse to another theatre; and, subsequently, an arrangement being entered into with the lessee of Drury.lane Theatre, he gave directions that the entire of their property might be removed, to which they agreed ; and, hating left home in the early part of the day, he found, on his return, that the consul had waited upon him to require an explanation, which he readily gave, and which proved satisfactory, as he had never ahy misunderstand ing with any member of the company, nor was he in the most in. direct manner instrumental in having them detained, as they seemed to have been, for one moment. Mr. JARDINi said the communication was made to him in a private manner, and he was ♦ery much surprised to see an ac count of it in the public papers; but he felt satisfied at the time that when the circumstances should be made known the whole affair would be arranged. _ _ _ Mr. Robertoon said he never had the least reason to complain of the conduct of any member of the company, and the fact of `-.ir being put to a momentary inconvenience required some ex. He thought the most effectual way would be to make a planation. hair-wor k er was charged on his own public explana.. - THIS PORT.OI/ICE RORIRRY GaAVailEND.—Roberi Day, c ed on a c s er : n ed in having, on t h e 26th ult., stolen described beingcri the mail -bags from the post-office at Grac':.' g end• Mr. Peacock, solicitor to the Post-office, was attendance. Inspector Dodd, F division, stated that about ten o'clock on a co li n a f s es e iL li n ins w ° l n th ' Thursday night, the prisoner came to the station and s.l!ti he wished to make a private communication, and being shown into the charge-room he said " I wish to surrender myself for that Job at Gravesend." Witness inquired what he alluded to, and he said he was one of the party who stole the mail bags. Witness inquired at what side of the road the post-office was situate, and he replied he must decline making further communication until he could sea the magistrate in the morning. He then said he had no certain place of abode, and that he had last worked for Mr. Townley in Regent-street, but as to what became of the bags he would prefer informing the magistrate. In answer to questions put by the Court, the prisoner said he knew nothing whatever of the robbery, and he could not say what induced him to make such a statement. lie had made several attempts to commit suicide, and had been confined in a lunatic asylum, since which, he had been charged at this Court for at tempting to make away with his life. An officer was immediately sent to Mr. Townley, to ascertain what he knew of the prisoner, and on his return he said thst the prisoner had been detected in embezzling his master's money, for which he was discharged, and he attempted to shoot himself. He then became quite destitute, having no certain mode of obtaining a livelihood, and he subsequently attempted to commit suicide no less than five different timed. Mr. JARDINE, feeling quite satisfied that the prisoner was of unsound mind, ordered the officer to convey him to the Strand union workhouse. THE Roseeav AT BUCKINGHAM PILACII.—Joha Taylor, a cabinet mak'r, was brought up for final examination, charged with stealing various pieces of plate, and a valuable china vase, from Buckingham Palace, the prCperty of her Majesty, Mr. Kayment, frets the office of the Solicitor to the Treasury, conducted the prosecutien, ant Mr, Wolff appeared for the pri. soner. ar:in, and Lord DelaWArT, the Lord Chamberlain ; Sir We, p Mr. Saunders, iupector of royal palaces, were present. In order to complete the evidence, it was proved by Mr. Coll in. son, upholsterer, connected with the Lord Chamberlain's dep art. ment, that on the evening of the 12th June the prisoner was sees near the store-room with a green bag, which appeared to be empty, where he had no business, his workshop being on the base ment-floor, after the other men had gone away; and it was fur. ther proved that he had made application to Mr. Richardson, an upholsterer, residing in Upper Seymour-street, to say his name was John Johnson should any person make any inquiries for him, which, upon his refusing, the constable made his appearance and lie was taken into custody. Mr. Woolff applied to have the money found upon the pri. goner, and the furniture which had been removed from his house, restored, both of which were refused, and he was fully committed for trial. MANSION-HOUSE. A meagre-looking fellow, named Jack Chalk, wag brought up, charged with having extended his body across the pavement in Cornhill, upon which spot he had written with chalk "hunger is sharp." The prisoner contrived to huddle himself with a look of the most awful despondency, which deceived the inexperienced. The police upon searching him, found four-pence halfpenny in his pockets, which were crammed with bread and cheese and vegetables. The LonD MAYOR—How long is it since you have been here, prisoner ?—The prisoner —Oh, let me see, not since the year before last. The LORD MAYOR—You pick up a good living by this course of mendicancy ?—The prisoner—Why, no, my Lord. I have not done much good ; but I don't wish to live by begging. The fact is, I wanted to get just as much as would pay for my lodging for a few days, that I might look about me, for they refused in my parish, in St. George's-in-the-East, to give me the least assistance. I asked nobody for a farthing, and left all to the kindness of the passers-by. The LORD MAYOR— I shall send you to the Compter for fourteen days. The prisoner said he would willingly walk off to his parish, if allowed to depart from the bar. He then put on a look of such pinching that it was supposed his Lord ship would have commuted the ugly sentence he had just pronounced, but his compassion did not get the better of his judgment, and the prisoner was led off to the Compter. GUILDHALL. A middle-aged woman, named Elizabeth .111 4 Culloch, was charged with having attempted to destroy her child. Police constable Ratcliffe, 375, stated that, on Friday afternoon, he received information that a woman was at tempting to destroy her child on Blackfriars-bridge. He hastened to the spot, and on coming up saw the prisoner deliberately lift a little girl over the balustrade, when she was pulled back by the passers by. Just at the same moment a heavy waggon, drawn by three horses, was proceeding over the bridge, when she ran into the road and endeavoured to place the child under the fore wheel. He, however, succeeded in extricating it, when he took her into custody. She appeared to be in liquor at the time. Mr. Alderman CHALLIS—Why, good God 1 what were your ideas in trying to slay your offspring in that diabo• CELEBRATION OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE.—A party of American gentlemen assembled at the Lyceum Tavern, in the Strand, on the 4th of July, to celebrate the anniversary of American Independence. At about six o'clock they sat down to a sumptuous dinner. After the cloth was removed, Mr. Edwin For rest, the well-known tragedian, was called to the chair, and Mr. Thomas Doughty, the American artist, was unanimously chosen vice-president. The chairman having addressed the meeting in a strain of fervid eloquence, proceeded to read the Declaration of In. dependence, after which Mr. C. H. Peabody, late editor of the Roston Bulletin, delivered an oration, which animated all hearts with the warmest sentiments of patriotism. The thanks of the company were proposed to that gentleman by Mr. Forrest, for his eloquent and brilliant production. Several national toasts were then given—" The memory of Washington, the father of his country," and of "Thomas Jefferson, the author of the Declara tion of Independence," &c. During the evening Mr. T. Doughty, jun , favoured the party with several patriotic and other songs. The dinner reflected the highest credit upon Mr. Spillman, who, in the course of the evening, was invited to join the company. He was addressed by the chairman, and complimented for the very handsome manner in which he had catered for the occasion. Mr. Spillman, in a few neat remarks, proposed the health of the Presi. dent of the United States; and Henry Nikoff, Esq., in a very happy introduction, proposed the health of her Majesty the Queen, and the members of the Royal Family, which toast was heartily re sponded to by all present, when the party separated. Two American sags were floating from the Lyceum Tavern during the day, and attracted general attention. M 4NC ESTER, T u RSDA T.—To-daya cricket match which has excited considerable interest, commenced on the Ma chester Cricket ground—the Manchester Club against the whole of Yorkshire. eleven players on each side. The wickets were pitched at ten o'clock. The Manchester Clnb scored 107 first Innings; Yorkshire then commenced playing, and at eight o'clock had scored 19'2, with six wickets to go down. The sports will be resumed to-morrow morning at ten o'clock. Betting this morning was to 4on Yorkshire; at the close of this day's playing 10 to 4 was offered and taken. On Wednesday last, as two youths were on the banks of Floutern Tatn, a short distance from Ennerdale Lake, they saw a large fish swimming about in the water ; thoy imme diately baited a hook with a small trout which they had caught, gr a presently succeeded in capturing the huge tenant of the Tarts, which nfoved to be a pike of about twelve pounds weight. The most remarkable feature connected with this extraordinary feat is, that so one ever suspected that the Tarn contained any pike, none having ever been seen in it before, nor even in the lake.—Cumber. land Pacquet. RAILWAY SCRIP ROBBERY.—Yesterday (Tuesday) morning, as John M'Donald, of the B division of police, was on duty at the Hunt's Bank station, his attention was attracted by a person in female's attire, but who appeared to have a most unfe minine gait, It was soon ascertained that the individual in ques. tion was a young !Pan answering the description of Robert Preston Dawson, late clerk in the scryiep of ISfr.

The court was filled with the partisans of both litigants, and their frequent interpola tions caused setae confusion, and the case appeared to have caused much excitement in the locality where the parties resided. Ore witness described the light of the bees from the plaintiff's garden till they lighted on a 'gooseberry bush in the defendant's garden. Plaintiff's mother brought the skep and a chair, on which she placed it, and began to beat the pan ; but the defendant, disregard ing both the music of the warming-pan and the laws relating to bees, deluged the unlucky truants with a pailful of water as afore said. A witness on the part of the defendant denied that the bees were actually drowned; but that, with soused wings, they dew away by scores. The defendant was mulcted in the fine of les. for the damage done to the bees, but without costs.—Cambridge Advertiser. COUNT KONIGSMARK.—The name of Count Ko nigsmark, towards the conclusion of the 17th century, stood amongst the most celebrated in Europe, and that popular novelist, Captain Chancier, in selecting such a man for the hero of his forthcoming romance, has made choice of a subject which cannot fail of affording a story of remarkable interest. It may be sufficient to remind the public that the Count, besides being one of the most famous military adventurers of an age singularly fruitful of such heroes, was a distinguished ornament at the Courts of Paris, London, and Madrid, and obtained m any marks of favour from Louis XIV. and our Charles 11. The reader then may well be led to expect in the pages of " Count Konigemark" one of the most stirring and picturesque narratives that have lately issued from the press.

The numerous varieties of cu taneous eruptions, sunburn freckles, tan, and disloura- Cons, are pleasingly eradicated by the Kalydor, and the skin rendered delicately clear and soft. Its purifying and refreshing properties have obtained its selection by the Court and the Royal Family of (treat Britain, and those of the Continent of Europe, together with the elite of the aristocracy and haut ton.

Leech Mr. Archbold appeared on behalf of the plaintiff, and Mr. _ for the defendant. This was an action brought to recover 901. from defendant, who had been a baker by trade, and had contracted to supply Newgate with bread ; plaintiff's husband had been foreman in one of defendant's es tablishments, and was to be paid icertain sum per sack for each sack of flour made into bread. The defendant alleged that plaintiff's husband made only 92 instead of 06 quartern loaves from each sack. A fact was also elicited by the evidence to the effect that a large quantity of the fat of meat sent to be baked at a baker's is a source of profit to him, inasmuch as that he saves it as it flows over, in order to prevent it, wnile in a molten state, from setting fire to the oven. Alto gether the case appeared to be rather a complicated one. and of no public interest whatever. Witnesses having been mi. mined on both sides, his Lordship summed up, and read the whole of the evidence, after which the jury retired, and returned into Court with a verdict for the plaintiff—Dsmages, 731. 10s. HOLLOWAY V. mowkau. This was an action for the recovery of the keep of a horse. It appeared from the evidence that the defendant left a horse with the plaintiff, who lets out his land for the purpose of horses kept at grass. The horse was left with plaintiff for 74 weeks, at the expiration of which time he sold the horse for 114 12s 6d., and now brought his action for the balance of the expense of the horse's keep, at the rate of Bs. per week, deducting the above sum. The defendant's witnesses contended that plaintiff agreed with the defendant to take the horse at the end of six months, for the amount of the expense of his keep. The jury then retired, but up to the usual hour for the adjourn. went of the Court there was no likelihood of their agreeing to a ♦erdict. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, July 5.

This was an action to recover the sum of 644!. odd, for- work and labour done and prepared fur the de fendants. . Mr. Jervis, with whom was Mr. Ogle, conducted the case for the plaintiff. whilst Mr. Cockburn and Mr. Bovill appeared for the defendants. The plaintiff is the well-known Mr. George Robins, the auctioneer, and the defendants, in the capacity of trustees to some property in the county of Bucks, called the Horsendon and Prince's Risborough Estate, applied to him to learn his terms for selling it by auction. The reply was, that the preliminary survey would cost twenty guineas, that the charge for selling property of 20,0001. in value would be 1 per cent., which included advertisements and other expenses, and that if the pro perty were to be bought in, then that the charge would be fifty guineas over and above the disbursements. Upon these terms the estate, which was veined at about 60,0001., was placed in the hands of Mr. Robins for disposal. That gentleman instantly caused the adver tisements of the property to be drawn up and inserted in the public journals. The estate was entrusted to his care in the early part of June, 1841, and was advertised to be sold on the 31st of August in the same year. On the 30th of that month, however, an intimation was given to Mr. Robins, that the necessity for the sale had been avoided by the completion of a private sale to the Duke of Buckingham for 60,0004 Mr. Robins, in due course of time, sent in his account for commission, &c , amount ing to the sum already named. The demand was re jected, on the ground that the sale had been effected without the intervention of the plaintiff, and, in truth, that the negotiation with his Grace had been commenced prior to the application to Mr. Robins. Finding that there was no prospect of obtaining payment, Mr. Robins felt himself compelled to resort to a court of law for enforcement. The simple question stated by the Learned Judge during the trial was, whether Mr. Rubins, having had the property to sell nearly three months prior to the purchase by the Duke of Buckingham, even though he had not had anything to do, directly, in the sale—the fact of the negotiation with his Grace having been kept carefully from his knowledge—was not fully entitled to his commission, just as if he had knocked it down by public auction. Messrs. Driver, E. Robins, Simpson, and other auc tbneers, gave their testimony in favour of the right and custom to make the charge, especially where a previous negotiation had been commenced, and was kept alive by the vendors, without any intimation of the fact to the auctioneers. _ _ On behalf of the defendants it was contended, that inasmuch as that the negotiation with the Duke of Buck ingham had commenced before, and had been concluded without the assistance of Mr. Robins and without a public sale, he was not entitled to the sum charged for commission. The Duke of Buckingham, in his examination, stated that he had not made the purchase in any way in conse quence of Mr. Robins's glowing advertisements. The fact was, the property was contiguous to some he held, IRELAND. THE FATAL AFFRAY AT BALLINHASSIG. Th following list of the killed and wounded appears in the ed I k Exa►niner : " I.

Coax, JULY 2.—Mr. Little, R.M., arrived at Ballinhaseig at one o'clock yesterday, with a troop of Dragoons from Bandon ; but during the day there was scarcely a human being to be seen oa the roads, and a large party of the police force left about twelve o'clock, under the command of Sub-Inspector Greene, escorting Dawson, a policeman, t) Cork, who was conveyed in a covered gingle, attended by Dr. Harris. " A number of magistrates met Mr. Baldwin, the coroner, yes terday, and having made out a list of names from which to summon a jur;: it waa resolved that the inquest should be held tomorrow (2hursday.) " There are eight now dead, about four more are despaired of, and the supposition is, the killed and wounded number some- where about thirty." COUNTY MEETING AT CAVAN. On Wednesday an important meeting was held in Cavan, in pursuance of a requisition presented to the High Sheriff, signed by Lord Farnham and other magistrates of the county. The meeting took place in the open space In front of the County Court •house On the motion of the Marquis of HE/a:WORT, seconded by R . BURIOWEII, Esq., D.L., Anthony O'Reilly, Esq., High Sheriff of the county, was called to the chair. Among those present were, the Marquis of Headfort, the Karl of Enniskillen, Lord Farnham, the Lord Bishop of Kilmore (Dr. Leslie), the Right Rev. Dr. Browne, Roman Catholic Bishop; Hon. S. R. Maxwell, John Young. Esq , M.P., Scc. The HIGH SIIIIRIFF, on taking the chair, said he had convened that meeting that day in pursuance of a requisition forwarded to him, and which was signed by Lord Farnham and some of the most influential men in that county. He was delighted to see around him on the occasion such a large assemblage of all classes of persons, from the highest and most influential, down to the hum. blest.—(Cheers.) This led him to hope that every person in the county, according to his ability, would join in the determination to put an end to the dreadful state of affairs that at present exists. /or unless the peer and peasant—the Protestant and the Catholic —the clergyman and the layman—joined heart and hand to put a stop to the atrocious murders and outrages which were of daily occurrence, God only knew when those awful scenes would termi nate.—(Hear, hear.) As men, as Christians, he entreated that all classes, forgetting the distinctions of politics or religion, would join together in this one effort for their common in. terest.— (Hear, hear.) The Marquis of HEAD7OIID proposed the first resolution, ex pressing his regret at the atrocious murders and outrages that had lately taken place in the county, which he said he was sure all the Protestants and Roman Catholics present were opposed to.— (Hear.) If there was any individual who heard him connected with an illegal body he would call upon him to renounce it, as there was no good ever resulted from these bodies—while they had almost invariably been the forerunners of rebellion anti martial law, as in the year 1798, shortly before the passing of the Act of Union, which they were—at least many of them—anxious to see repealed. The continuance of outrage would again lead to rebellion and mar tial law, and prevent several important'measures, then before Par. liament, from being adopted, which would materially benefit all classes of the people--(Hear)--and he would, therefore, implore of every one present to unite in protecting their homes and their fa milies.—(Hear, hear.) In the name, then, of God he implored the clergy of all persuasions to unite with the laity of all denomina. tions, and to denounce from their altar's the perpetrators of out. rage and bloodshed.—(Hear, hear.) The Roman Catholic clergy had the power to do this, and he (the Marquis of Headford) knew they had the inclination to do it—and would do it to prevent the introduction of measures of a violent nature, which it would be necessary to have recourse to, if crime continued to disgrace their county.—(Cheers.) In conclusion, the Noble Marquis read the resolution, which expressed the sincere regret of both Roman Catholics and Protestants at the late dreadful murder, and the other outrages which had taken place. R. BURROWER, Esq., J. P. and D.L., Stradone, seconded the re. solution, which was adopted unanimously. Lord FARNHAM, D.L., proposed the second resolution, which pledged the meeting to do all in its power to bring the perpetrators of crimes to justice, and called on the clergy of every persuasion to join with the laity to restore the county to peace, order, and Iran. quillity. In doing so, he observed that no one in the country had a greater interest in the proceedings of that day than he had, and announced his determination to spare neither exertion nor money to accomplish the object for which the meeting had been called to gether.— ( Cheers.) WlLusrt HUMPHREYS, Esq., J.P. (Bailyhaize House), seconded the motion, and enforced the necessity of a union of persons of all religions to join in restoring peace and harmony to the county. When he had concluded, The Lord Bishop of Kicsmaz came forward to address the meeting, and was loudly cheered. He said that he would, on be half of the Protestant clergy of his diocese, state, that they would do all is their power to restore love, peace, and good.will amongst all men—(Hear,hear)—and he had no doubt but that the clergy of other persuasions would unite with them in that object.—(Cheers.) The Right Rev. Dr. Meows, Roman Catholic Bishop of Kilmore, also spoke to the resolution, and pledged himself for the clergy of his creed, that they would assist the Protestant clergy and magis. trates in cultivating benevolence, forbearance, and Christian charity.—(Hear, hear.) After eighteen years' residence in the county of Cavan, he (Dr. Brown) would say, that he never ex• pleased a word which did not instil those principles; and such also was the duty of his clergy who co.operated with him, and he felt that there would never be a wholesome state of society whilst the people were divided into factions.—(Cheers.) It, therefore, gave him the greatest satisfaction to witness the benevolent feelings and expres. sinus uttered that day, which he hoped would make it be looked backed to with pride in the history of their country.—(Hear, hear.) All they had to do was to unite hand in hand together, and peace and tranquillity would be preserved, and martial law and its con sequences would not be heard ot.—(Great applause.) The Rev. THOHAS MAGUIRE, P.P., of Ballynamore, likewise addressed the meeting, which he said he considered as the most important one that was ever held to preserve the peace of any country, and expressed his full approval of the advice giveu by the Right Rev Prelates that preceded him. In reference to the re cent crimes in the country, he said, " There was a time, fellow countrymen, when this green island was called the island of saints ; but if people proceeded in the cowardly, and bloody, and monstrous system of shooting men without any notice—not giving them even as much time as to say' Lord have mercy on me'—l say, if such practices are persevered in, they will get-for our country the deno mination of the island of assassins.—(Hear, hear.) I trust, my friends, you are too kind hearted not to have a horror of the base, unprincipled, and cowardly system of assassinatiou.—(Cheers.) You may have wrongs—you may have grievances—real or imaginary— but I need not tell you that there never was a grievance, never an oppression, never an injury that could palliate the awful crime of murder."—(Loud cheers.) His advice to the people was, to keep at home at night, and to avoid all secret bodies, which would lead to the gibbet and transportation, and to bring to justice any person who would attempt to seduce them into crime, no matter_whether he was a Catholic, or a Protestant, to endeavour to discover the murderer of the late Mr. Booth, and also the perpetrators of all similar outrages.—(Cheers.) " if, said he, " every town. land would join, Protestant and Catholic, and give their hands to each other—if they would say to each other, let eur old feuds be forgotten—let us show that we have the love of religion and the promotion of Christianity at heart, and make a declaration before man and heaven—a declaration to be kept as solemnly and invio late as Es her Mathew's pledge—that the first stranger making his appearance in the county to whom suspicion attaches, and wleo referee to account for himself satisfactorily, 4 9tEep up NA handed over tp tut police.—(pief of We will, we Will') A 4 sure as you, My brethren, and /Mir Protestant join in this mapper, as sure as yPp support od fII-PfleFl44 with each other, as sure as united confidence and mutual kindliness is promoted between you, so sure will an end be put to the sys. tem which now creates the lust fears of some, and Oyes irl4>Jof, 4307 tQ FhG iIaPP!ItS )), o ql fo.

Esq., at the Queen's Head Inn, and after a long sitting the jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against Wilson and the seconds; and the Coroner bound over three others, who had been present, to appear when repaired.
