Sudlow, Sons, and Torr, 20, Chancery-lane. The object of lilts railway is, in conjunction with the intended lines ftom Huddersfield to Halifax and the North, to connect, in the most direct route, the important and increasing manufacturing towns of Huddersfield, Halifax, Bradford, and Keighley, with the metropolis and south of England, and at the same time to oomplete the intended chain of railway communication from Glasgow and the north, by the shortest and most direct route, with London, and from the south to Glasgow, and other parts of Scotland. It is intended to commence by a junction with the Huddersfield and Sheffield Railway (for which an Act of Parliament has already bees obtained) at or near Holmtirth, and to proceed from thence threngh the last-mentioned place to Woodhead, and across the Man chester and Sheffield Railway there, thence to or near Athersage, Nether Padley, Froggatt, Bubnell, Bakewell, Matlock, Cromford, and to follow the course of the River Derwent to its junction with the North Midland Station near to Ambergate, and from thence to Belper os Derby. The present route from Huddersfield to Derby is very circuitous, being now 81 miles, whilst by the intended line the distance between those places will be reduced to 51 miles ; and will also be the most direct communication that can be formed between Glasgow, Carlisle, Settle, Skipton, Colne, Keighley, Halifax, Huddersfield (by means of the projected railway,) and the counties of Derby, Nottingham, Leicester, Northampton, Bedford, and London. It will open the extensive and celebrated stone quarries and coal mines of West Yorkshire, and afford an inexhaustible supply of coal and atone to the Midland and Southern Counties, and at the same time open fresh markets for the products of the celebrated Derbyshire mines,—the coat of which, from the increased facilities of direct transit to be afforded by this railway, will be materially lessened ; Wd at the same time the markets of the manufacturing towns of est Yorkshire will be rendered infinitely more accessible for the cern, wool, cheese, and other productions of the extensive and fertile agricultural districts of Derbyshire, Leicestershire, and the south. The survey of the line has been to a great extent completed, and correct estimates of the expenditure and return are in preparation. There are no engineering difficulties in any part of the line which have not been repeatedly surmounted lu other cases, whilst by far the greater portion of the southern part of the line will be constructed at au unusually small expense. Powers will be taken in the Act of Parliament to allow interest at V. per eentum per annum on the deposits, and preference in the al lotment of shares will be given to the proprietors of the land through which the line will pass, and to the shareholders in the Huddersfield and Sheffield, and Huddersfield, Halifax, and Keighley lines. The names of a large and influential Committee, with a detailed proepeetue, will shortly be published. All communications relative to the line, as also applications for shares (in the form below), accompanied by a satisfactory reference, may be mad. and addressed to the Solicitors, at whose offices every ueceesary Information will be given.

By this means it will form the most direct route from Manchester, Leeds, Liverpool, Hull, and Chester to the important ports of Gloucester and Bristol, indeed the most direct line il'ont the north of England to the Bristol Channel. It will, also, in conjunction wtih the proposed Hereford and Worcester, and Swan sea, Merthyr-Tydvil, and Hereford Railways, form the most advan tageous route from Swansea and the iron districts of Sehth Wales, to Liverpool, Manchester, and Hull. The line will cross the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Railway at Shiffnal, and the Shropshire Mineral Railway and the Trent Valley - Union at the thriving town of Newport. It will form a junction with the two latter railways at Newport, whereby persons and lug gage may bo conveyed to Stafford, Derby, the Midland Counties, Staffordshire Potteries, Sheffiell, and Hull ; and, In addition to the carriage of heavy goods from Bristol, Gloucester, Worcester, and Kiddennineter, to Manchester, Liverpool, the whole of the laorth of England, and Scotland—will secure a large passenger traffic in the district through which it passes. The proposed railway will be about 87 miles in length, and be tween the two termini of Crewe and Gloucester, will save in distance at team. 20 miles, and the journey can be accomplished, at the pre !v.! rapiiirate of travelling, in about two hours. This project as a Cn ay tt s o in n line, the kingdo m populated itself with some of the most important rail populated iron districts It alsoskirtsthe large, extensive, and densely course passes thr ough a of Shropshire and Staffordshire, and in its rich agricultural country. It must, there fore, be obvious that there will be a sufficient traffic to pay a high rate of interest on the capital, required. There are no engineering i t i:t i lculties in the country through which the line is intended to whole being nearly on a level, and on reference to the map of country, taken from the Ordnance survey, which accompanies the prospectus, the line will appear straight, and will at the same time show the superior' advantages it possesses, that it and the not ba surpassed by any exi s ti ng or Projected Hues, betwe l e i n d the same It will not interfere with any ornamental property, and no tunnel ling will be required.

The first line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Loughborough station on the Midland Counties line, and pro ceed through the Vale of Sheepshead, to Pegs Green Colliery, near to the terminus of the Leicester and Swannington Rail way, and from thence through the coal-fields of Swannington and Cole-Orton to Ashby-de-la-'Louth. It will thence proceed across the Moira Coal-field and through the rich agricultural districts of Seal, Clifton Campville, and Edingale, to the Birmingham and Derby Railway, which it will cross near to Elford Park Farm, and thence traverse the Valley of the Tame until it reaches Alrewas, where it will form a junction with the branch of the Trent Valley line now in progress of making. At this point it also meets the proposed South Staffordshire line, by which means it reaches Lichfield, and by means of one of the proposed lines it will afford communication with Bir mingham. From Loughborough the line will be further continued to it sfordby on the Syston and Peterborough Railway, now in progress, and by means of this latter line, a direct intercourse will be opened with Melton Mowbray and the various towns through which that route passes to Peterborough. By means of its junction with the Trent Valley line at Alrewas the Grand Trunk reaches Colwich, and there meets the proposed North Staffordshire line, which proceeds through the heart of the Potteries to Newcastle-under -Lyre, Leek, and Macclesfield. By means also of the same Trent Valley line at Alrewas the Grand Trunk pro ceeds through Rugeley to Stafford, thus completing its route, and forming a connecting line between the Midland and Grand Junction Railways. This branch of the Hee was formerly surveyed by Mr. Rastrick, and approved of by him as a canal communication, se that no engineering difficulties exist. The second line of the Grand Trunk Railway will commence at the Derby station, and taking the course of the Derby Canal proceed to Chellaston, where there are extensive plaster-works, and thence by Swarkestone to the river Trent, which it will cross near to the ferry at Weston Cliffe, and so proce• d to Kings Newton and Melbourne. From the latter place it will pass by the village of Wilson to Breedon-on-the-Hill, where there are extensive lime-works, and thence proceed by Staunton Harold, connnunicat ing by a branch line with the lead, lime, and coal works there ; ... . . ... . .. , . .. ... th - enCe by the Lount Colliery to Worthington 'tough, where it will follow the line of the Cole-Orion and Swanningtou Railway until its junction with the first line of the Grand Trunk at or near the Pegs Green Colliery, and so proceed from thence to Ashby-de-la-Zouch. _ _ p r line s hf e eo d sr t N e ro, passengerst it tin u g g h b y a iasna itaiodoSouthampton .

The sub stratum is yet to bo worked. There are beds of Kennel and main coal at Cole Orton of equal quality, though nit of equal depth with those of Staunton Harold, whilst the m ain coal at Swanni ngton is un rivalled, being, in fact, the bowl of the Leicestershire and Derbyshire coal strata. It is needless to describe the beneficial results which must arise from this o pening of the midland coal d i s tric t to the Lon don and southern markets. At Staunton Harold and Calks exist rich veins of lead ore, now in full course of working. The properties of the Breedon, Staunton Harold , and Ticknall lime are so well known to agriculturists and others, that an extension of traffic for so valuable a commodity into mre remote districts must be of the utmost importance to the practical farmer. In approaching the Trent, on leaving the lime district, the Grand Trunk will fall in with most valuable quarries of millstone grit, ser viceable for paving and building purposes, and for which a ready market would be found along the line. The country also abounds in gypsum, of which immense quantities are used in Birming ham and elsewhere : these markets will thus become oper.ed for the quarries at Chellaston. A new and extensive outlet will also be opened for the earthenware of Wooden Box and Griesley Potteries. Until the Act of Parliament be obtained, the affairs will be under the control of the Committee of Management, to whom power is given to allot the shares and apply the funds of the Company in payment of all proper expenses in the formation of the Company and otherwise. Power will be applied for in the Act, and in the meantime the Committee of Management take power, to alter or extend the lines, to make branch lines, to abandon any part of the line, to raise addi tional capital, and to enter into arrangements with any other Com pany or C'Nupanies.

Thomas Farncombe, Esq., Alderman of London, Director of the existing or projected, but will materially add to the traffic of all, and prove to them a most valuable auxiliary. Commencing at Leek, it will form au extension of a line already in course of construction ; and, passing through Winster and Ashover, at or near Mansfield, it will unite with the Sheffield, Newark, and Boston, the Derby, Gainsborough, and Great Grimsby, and the Nottingham and Mansfield Railways ; or, should it be considered more desirable, the point of junction may be with the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Railway, at Retford. Although not possible adequately to appreciate the importance of this line, a glance at the map will show that it perfects the communi cation from Boston to Holyhead, and Is called for by public necessity. At present there is no direct canal nor even an ordinary turnpike road for the purpose of transit of the various and inexhaustible pro ducts of these extensive mineral districts. On the one hand, the bulk of the cattle and other agricultural produce of Lincolnshire and Not tinghamshire, and the large quantities of flour and malt made at and near to the towns of Mansfield and Newark, find their way to the western markets by circuitous routes, the cost and delay attending their transmission being enormous ; and, on the other, the products of the paint manufactories, and of the Barytes works at Ashbomme and Cromford, and other minerals, are now sent many miles out of the direct course in order to reach their destination. From its junction with so many railways, and affording a direct communication through the country from east to west, it is scarcely possible to compute the amount of passenger traffic which may be expected on this comparatively short line. Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at the rate of 41. per centnm per annum on the deposit-money, as well as on all calls, from the date of each payment till the opening of the line, or until a dividend be declared ; and the liability of subscribers will be limited by the Act of Parliament to the amount of their respective shares in the undertaking.

Mr. Wetenhall at the same time called witness a d—d stuttering scoundrel. Policeman 515 said that he heard an altercation between the gentlemen, and he saw that Mr. Street's (the complainant's) face and hat had been spat upon ; he did not see any person spit upon Mr. Street, but he heard Mr. Wetenhall call him a d—d scamp, or scoundrel. The LORD MAYOR—Did you hear Mr. Street complain of having been spat upon ? Policeman—l did. The LORD MAYOR—Did you hear Mr. Wetenhall deny that he had spat upon him ? Policeman—l did not. The Loan Mavon— And you heard Mr. Wetenhall call him a scamp when he complained ? Policeman—l did. Mr. \Vetenhall, who exhibited much impatience during this brief statement of the occurrence, declared that he had never since the day of his birth, which took place sixty years ago, done such a thing, or contemplated such a thing, as be had been accused of. But the fact was, that the complainant, who called himself libra rian to the Stock Exchange, was what was called a " stag," nothing but a " stag."—(Laughter) Now he (defendant) was publisher of the list called " Wetenhall's List," and he certainly had received provocation to use rsugh language, and to denounce the " stag." There were gentlemen present at the time who had seen and heard more than the officer knew. The Loan MAYOR—It is in evidence, that instead of denying that you had spat upon the complainant when you were accused of hav ing done so, you called him by an opprobrious name. Mr. Wetenhall—My Lord, the officer did not come up at the commencement. The LORD MAYOR—NO, he did not see you spit upon the com plainant, but he heard you aggravate the offence by using abusive language, instead of indignantly declaring that you had never done anything of the kind. Mr. Wetenhall—l now deny that I spat upon him. The Loan MAYOR—I have no doubt upon the subject after what I have heard, and I fine you 10s. Mr. Wetenhall—l thank you, my Lord. BOW-S7REET. Yesterday a respectable-looking woman, named Sturdy, resid ing at 14, Crown street, was charged with assaulting constable 102 F. The constable deposed that, at about II o'clock, the defendant, and two other persons, were standing on the foot-way in Crown street, engaged in conversation, in consequence of which he re quested them to move on. They refused, and witness was pro ceeding to compel them, when the assault took place. The defendant, whose statements were corroborated on oath by her daughter and another young woman, who were the patties present, said that she was More ly talking to her daughter and the other witness, opposite her own door, and without causing any obstruction, when the constable came up and ordered them off, and almost immediately afterwards pushed her (the defendant) down. She co.Aplained of this ill-treatment to the inspector at the station, but, upon the representations of the constable, was locked up all night. The inspector proved that such complaint was made. Mr. TWYFOItD, after remarking that the case seemed more serious against the policeman than the defendant, gave the latter her discharge. SOLICITOR—(S. L. 49, Doughty-street, Redford-row, London.

BANKERS IN LONDON—The London County Joint-stock Bank. DISTRICT BANKERS. _ . The Branches of the London and County Joint-stock Bank at Tun• bridge, Tunbridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton At Hastings—Messrs. Smith, Hilder, and Co. The object of this Company is to effect a direct communication, by railway, between Tunbridge Wells and Hastings, and also be tween Tunbridge Wells and Brighton. The Hasting; line (about twenty-six miles in length) will commence at Tunbridge Wells, and run near Frant, Wadhurst, Lamberhnrst, Etchingham, Hurst Green, Robertsbridge, Whatlington, and Battle, having its terminus at the western extremity of Hastings. The Brighton line (about twenty-two miles in length) will com mence at Tunbridge Wells, and take a direct course to Brighton, passing near Mayfield, Botherfield, Uckfield, Little Horsted, and Lewes, where it will form a junction with the line, which is nearly completed, between Lewes and Brighton. The numerous visitors and inhabitants of the fashionable watering places of Tunbridge Wells, Brighton, and Hastings, will thus not merely enjoy the means of rapid communication with each other by railway—au advantage which ought to have been supplied to them before this—but will also have, respectively, when the proposed line from London to Tunbridge is formed, a continued and direct railway to the metropolis. The area embraced within these lines of railway is justly remark able for the variety and value of its agricultural produce, being one of the most extensive hop districts in England, and not inferior in general fertility to any part of the kingdom ; and when it is consi dered that the metropolis is the principal, indeed, it may almost be said, the exclusive, market for its productions, the profits arising from the conveyance of those productions alone must form (inde pendent of passenger traffic), a very large source of revenue to the Shareholders. Even from the already developed resources of the extensive, wealthy, and populous districts through which the Company's lines will run, the most encouraging estimate of results may be justly en tertained, and when the Hastings Dock and Harbour Company (which has already been provisionally registered) shall have carried into effect the proposed improvements, the line from that town to Tunbridge Wells mast become one of the most profitable in England, as it will then be the great highway:of continental tourists. The route from London to Paris, by Hastings and Dieppe, is decidedly the most direct, as well as the mostinteresting, which a glance at the map of Europe will satisfactorily show. To the towns of Hastings and St. Leonard's the greatest advan tages must acctrue from the establishment of a railway, bringing them within two hours of the metropolis, and, through it, by the great lines of which it is the focus, connecting them with every por tion of the country. Au immense increase in the number of their opulent visitors must necessarily be the consequence, the climate of that part of the coast of Sussex being universally considered equally salubrious as the most favoured parts of Devon. The Company have in contemplation the formation of a branch from the most convenient point on their Hastings line to Winchel sea and the town and port of Rye, or to connect that line with the Hastings and Ashford coast line; either of which objects can be carried out at a very moderate expense, and must conslierably in crease the value of the principal project. To the inhabitants of Lewes and Brighton, the advantages to be derived from the Hastings line must be great. It will give increased facilities for the transport of the produce of the districts through which it passes, and will complete the railway communication be tween Canterbury, Maidstone, Chatham, Rochester, and other towns _ _ _ _ in the county of Kent, and Brighton, Chichester, Portsmouth, South ampton, and other important towns in the western parts of the country. The existing traffic in passengers and goods (which must be ma terially increased by the establishment of railways) are too well known to require a detailed statement In this prospectus, and can not fail to secure to the shareholders a large interest on the capital invested. A preliminary survey of the country has been made, and no part of it has been found to offer engineering difficulties of more than or dinary character. The liability of the Shareholders will be limited to the amount of their subscriptions, and in the allotment of shares a preference will be given to landowners on the respective lines, and other parties locally interested. Power will be taken in the Act to allow interest at 41. per cent. per annum, on all calls, previous to the opening of the lines. The Provisional Committee reserve to themselves the power of making alterations in the line or branches, and of adopting the at mospheric principle, if advisable. They are also determined on giv ing strict attention to economy in the expenditure of the capital, and will thereby be enabled to guarantee low charges for the con veyance of passengers and goods, and there can be no reasonable doubt, that when the traffic Is fairly developed, the fall rate of 10/. per cont. will be paid, and a surplus left for branch lines, or a reduc tion of tolls. _ . . The strong feelings in favour of a direct line evinced on the part of the public in Hastings and surrounding neighbourhood, the support of the landowners arnl agriculturists, with the numerous and strong assurances received In favour of au independent Company, leave no doubt of the successful issue of an application to Parliament for an Act next session. _ . . ... In order that every attention may be secured to local interests, ar rangements are now being made to add the names of gentlemen of influence and property in the counties of Kent and Sussex to the Provisional Committee. Applications for shares, with a• reference, may be made in the form annexed, to the Solicitor, or to the Secretary pro. tem., at the temporary Offices of the Company, No. 76, Basinghall-street, Lon don, and to the following Sharebrokers :—in London, Messrs.

This line will commence at the Long Eaton station of the Midland Counties R a ilway, and will proceed in a direct line to or near Castle Donington, Ashby-de-la-Zouch, --eas- NI h anl, and Market Bosworth to Nuneaton ; joining, at Market Bosworth, the Birmingham branch, projected by tho Tamworth and Leicester Company, and at Nuneaton, the projected Coventry, Nuneaton, Birmingham, and Leicester Railway, at the point where that line crosses the Trent Valley line. Thus a direct communication will be formed between the important towns of Nottingham, Newark, and Lincoln on the one side, and Birmingham, Coventry, and Warwick on the other side, at the same time supplying a rich mineral and agricultural district with railway advantages. A reference to the map will show that this railway will also com mand other collateral advantages. There is no doubt th a t the p r oposed railway commnnication be tween Cheltenham and Warwick will be effected, in which case the of up Gloucestertlie railway a and Lincoln, and thus form a direct lin e from the Severn at Glouces ter to the Humber at Gr eat Grimsb y . An amalgamation of the Great t p w ror en proposed line c ou w n i u ll es fill Grimsby and Sheffield Junction with the Grimsby Dock Company being now determined on, a large amount of capital will be expended in rendering Great Grimsby a port of the first importance ; and it must he obvious that the traffic to that port, from the district south west of Warwick, will be vecy great. Tile distance saved by the proposed line between Leamington, Warwick, Coventry, and Nottingham will be about fourteen miles ; and between Birmingham and Nottingham (by either of the projected lines from Birmingham to Leicester) the saving will be about ten miles. Being so much the shortest route from Birmingham to Not tingham and Lincoln, it must secure the traffic from Birmingham to Nottingham, Newark, Lincoln, and the port of Great Grimsby ; and by joining with the Erewash Valley Railway at Long Eaton, it must command the traffic from Coventry, Warwick, and the district south of those towns to Sheffield, Leeds, York, and the north of England generally. It will also afford a direct communication between Not tingham and the district between Warwick and Worcester, by means of the projected Worcester, Warwick, and Rugby, and the Warwick and Worcester Railways. The entire length of the line will be under thirty miles. The Com pany's Engineer has completed his preliminary survey, and has made his report, that the character of the country through which the line is intended to pass is unusually favourable for engineering purposes. It passes directly through a very productive mineral district, in tersecting the Leicestershire coal-fields and lime-works, and will afford communication north and south, to the Derbyshire Potteries. With such an assured immediate and prospective amount of traffic, the profits on the small capital required cannot fail to be highly re munerative. ' Powers for allowance of interest at four per cent. on the paid-up capital will be taken, and the liability of shareholders limited to the amount of their subscriptions. TABLE OF DISTANCES.

The Lord Mayor received, on Wednesday, the following letter from Mr. Reele, of the Excise-office in Broad-street, relative to the person who was committed as a rogue and vagabond on Tuesday, for having fraudulently obtained alms of the Rev. Michael Gibbs, Vicar of Christ Church : " May it please your Lordship,—A case is reported in the Times of this morning relative to one George Stratford, calling himself the legitimate son of the present Earl of Aldborough. " I beg leave most respectfully to state to your Lordship, that I have had some deaAngs with the above person calling himself George Stratford. Some years since he was introduced to my no. tice by a highly respectable family residing in the north of Ireland. The fellow had found out the friends and connexions of the pre sent and rightful Countess of Aldborough, whom I have had the honour of knowing for twenty years and upwards. On telling his talc, he passed himself off as the son of the Earl of Aldborough, and stated that he had been discarded by his father, and after wandering about in Belgium for some time, he had shortly before arrived in England, for the purpose of finding employment. " Upon his representation, and knowing a little of the reputed father's history, I then clothed him, raised a subscription, and lastly procured a situation in the London Docks for him; but his habits of idleness and lying had become so notorious, that I lost all sight of the fellow for two or three years, until a few months back, when he entered my office and informed me of the Earl of Aldbo rough's decease at Carlsbad. He then named the executors, who were residing in Dublin, and told me that he was left 501. per annum by his father, finally requesting the loan of a sovereign, as he was about to leave London by the packet that day for Antwerp, toj oin his family. " Having before made up my mind that the fellow was nothing short of a thorough rogue and vagabond, subsisting by his plausible tales upon the charitably disposed in London, I desired him to leave my office, and I then addressed letters to the Countess of Aldbo rough and others living in Dublin, stating the information I had that day received, and by return of post their answers exposed the lying device, and showed that the whole of his story from begin ning to end was false ; and the present Earl of Aldborough, to the best of my infi.rmation and belief, is now alive and residing at Flo rence.—l have the honour to remain, your Lordship's most obe dient servant, " G. REELE. " Broad-street, City, Sept. 94." Mr. Thomas Buckland and Mr. Thomas Windle, two gentlemen who, in the neighbourhood of the Stock Exchange, after the closing of the inner market, had addressed each other in irritating lan guage, end from words proceeded to blows, were brought before the Lord Mayor by a policeman, charged with having obstructed the pavement. City policeman George White (24), an active officer stationed in the vicinity of Capel.court, on account of the frequent obstructions caused by the dealings between jobbers and " stags" and " ducks,'' and other "such small deer," observing that there was rather an extraordinary bustle about Cepel•court, went up to the spot and saw the two gentlemen fighting. Mr. Buckland was bleeding upon the ground, although neither of the combatants appeared to have any other arms than those with which nature had provided them, and the affair occasioned very great impediment to the public. " • - ' The defendants Faid that there had been a misunderstanding between them of a private nature, and that their differences had been completely accommodated. The Loan MAYOR. observed, that the private misunderstandings of gentlemen must not be allowed to interfere with the conve nience of the public, and fined each of thew 20s.

LAMBETH. Yesterday the Rev. James West, a clergyman of the Church of England, who had been remanded under the name of " James Fletcher," was brought before Mr. Henry, for final examination, on a charge of illegally pawning goods from his ready-furnished apartments. Mrs. Hannah Croker, a widow, residing in Nunhead-lane, Peckham-rye, deposed, that on the 2d instant the prisoner and his wife came to lodge at her house in a ready-furnished apart ment, and remained there until the 15th. On the last-men tioned day witness, suspecting they were robbing her, asked the prisoner's wife if she had any objection to her going into the room. Mrs. West consented, but the moment she entered she and her husband ran away. Witness missed a blanket, two sheets, and a counterpane, and in consequence sent after the pri soners, who were hrought back in the custody of a piliceman. The blankets, sheets, and counterpane produced were her property, and were of the value of 17s. William Hammond, a police-constable, 90 F, said that on the 15th instant, in the afternoon, he looked acress Peckham-rye, and saw the prisoner and his wife running as fast as they could. He pursued and stopped them, saying " What have you done P" and the prisoner replied, " We have been stealing some sheets and pledging them, but I didn't mean to run away without paying." He said some money was due to him that night, and he intended to redeem the things when that came. He (witness) found the duplicate for the blanket and the counterpane on the prisoner, and he acknowledged to having sold the duplicates for the sheets. Francis Woods, shopman to his uncle, a pawnbroker in High street, Peckham, deposed that the sheets, blanket, and counter. pane had been pledged with him by the male prisoner. Hammond, the police-constable, said there were a great many persons in attendance who were sufferers by the prisoner's prac tices, but he doubted whether the offences amounted to those of a criminal nature, Mr. HICNRY desired them to be called, when one, A poor hard-working man, said, that the prisoner came to his house and said he wanted a messenger to take a letter to Squire Leicester, at the west end of the town, who owed him money, and who would send some back by the bearer, and ultimately asked for the loan of a shilling. Witness, being a poor man, could ill afford to part with a shilling, but prisoner's language was so good, and his representation so plausible, that he could not refuse him, and gave him the shilling. He went with the letter to Squire Lei cester's, and was told there was no answer. While he was gone on this message, the prisoner called at his house and succeeded in getting a shilling from his wife. A gentleman, who was in Court and had been In conversation with the prisoner, here expressed a hope the magistrate would dig.. pose of the case summarily. Mr. HENRY replied, he could not do so. A great number of poor persons had been made sufferers, and he (Mr. Henry) should send him for trial upon the charge of unlawful pawning. While the depositions were being taken, Mr. HENRY, addressing the gentleman, remarked that, upon his former examination the prisoner had mentioned the names of some distinguished families to whom he said he was nearly related, and asked if he knew any thing about his character or history ? The gentleman replied that he did, and that his representations about his family connexions were perfectly correct. His real name was West, and he was a clergyman of the Established Church. He (the prisoner) was nephew to a nobleman holding the highest appointment in her Majesty's household, was connected by marriage with many distin guished families, and his father and mother as well as the friends of his wife were persons of large property and the highest respect ability, and he (the gentleman) became acquainted with him by his being professionally engaged to dispose of some property be longing to him while graduating at Brasenose College. While at Oxford, he was picked up by a set of sharpers, and being of a most liberal disposition—indeed, lavishly so—they fleeced him. As a proof of this foolish liberality, he would mention the fact that the last 1001. he possessed as the wreck of his property, he had lent to a sporting baronet, though there was scarcely a hope of his getting it or any part of it back. By similar follies in money matters the prisoner had been reduced, no doubt, to considerable want, and his friends, in the hope, probably, of making him feel his folly, had allowed him but the small pittance of 7s. a-week, and not 1/. 75., as had been stated; but still he was surprised to find him resort to any act of criminality. In extenua. tion of his offence he begged to say, that he (the gentleman) had had a communication with Mr. Leicester, the gentleman whose name had been mentioned, and he assured him he had forwarded a sovereign by the post, for the prisoner's use, but it had never reached him. Had he received it he would not have been under the necessity of pawning the things, or, having pawned them, might have redeemed them in time to prevent discovery. Mr. HENRY asked if the prisoner had ever done duty as a clergy man ? The gentleman replied that he bad, and said it was only a short time since he was called upon to officiate at the east end of the metropolis, and gave such satisfaction to the congregation, that he might have gone on exceedingly well had it not been for the ex posure to which his poverty had subjected him. It appeared that at a meeting where several of the clergymen of the parishes in the vicinity attended, his (the prisoner's) name happened unfortunately to be mentioned, when one said he had lent him a shirt and cravat to preach in, which he never returned ; another mentioned giving him some money, which he never repaid ; and the exposure altogether was such, that the gentleman who was in the habit of getting him to officiate felt compelled to discontinue doing so. Since his commitment his friends had forwarded him some money; and he had no doubt that, after this, something permanent would be done for him. Mr. HENRY observed he could make no distinction between the case of the prisoner and any other person, and under all the circum stances it might be much better for the prisoner himself that he should be committed, as it would bring his case to a crisis that would lead to something permanent being done for him by his friends. He (Mr. Henry), however, should admit him to bail in two sureties of 401. each to answer the charge at the sessions. The prisoner was then committed for trial, and the witnesses bound over in the usual way to prosecute. SOUTHWARK. Yesterday two of the churchwardens, accompanied by the vestry clerk of St. George's, Southwark, waited on Mr. Cottingham for the purpose of soliciting his advice under the following circum. stances. One of the churchwardens stated that for some time past several of the inhabitants of St. George's parish have received anonymous letters, containing threats against their lives, and that in some in stances the writer of them bad inclosed poison. The communica tions containing the poison were addressed to the daughters of a merchant and two other persons, and couched in language most affectionate, to the following effect : "My dear Elizabeth,—l have sent you some powders, which I received as a present from France. You will find them as a drink very delicious, being flavoured with melon, which you will greatly admire, and will do you a great deal of good. I shall call to see you in a day or two." The applicant stated that the powders alluded to were oxalic acid, and that fortunately all the letters containing them had fallen into the hands of the parents of those to whom they were transmitted through the post. The perpetrator, finding his designs frustrated, then commenced sending more anonymous letters of the most dia bolical and revolting nature, not only threatening to murder the children, but the parents likewise, and in some instances to set fire to their houses. A Mrs. Spriggs, the wife of a respectable shop keeper, living in White-street, has been particularly selected out as a victim by the anonymous slanderers. A letter in reference to her, transmitted by post to Mr. Stead, the parish-clerk, was handed to the magistrate. It was as follows: " Sir,—l should take it as a very great favour if you would say the following few words just before you utter the words Let us sing to the praise and glory of God,' which will be about half past seven o'clock on Sunday evening, September 28, 1845,' It will be considered sacrilege if Mrs. Spriggs enters this or any other church after to-night, as she has attempted the life of her child;' and if you do not say it—and this is no idle threat—as true as there is a Heaven above, I will set fire to the church, and by half past seven next Sunday weeks Oct. 5, 1845, the church shall be one mass of smoking ruins; and, mind you, I will attend on pur pose to hear if you do say the words, or at least something to the purpose.-1 am, S , r, your very humble and obedient servant, " Sept. 22. G - Several other letters were placed before Mr. Cottingham, and after perusing them and examining them, he was of opinion, al though there was a difference in the character of the writing, still that they were all by the same writer. The MAGISTRATE inquired if any steps had been taken to trace out the writer of those letters ?--The churchwarden replied, that efforts had been used for that purpose ; that the thing bad con tinued for the last few months scarcely without intermission ; that many families residing in the parish had been thrown into a state of considerable alarm owing to thecirounstance; and that a reward of 401. had been offered fur the discovery of the offender, but as yet without success. An inspector of the M division said that Sir James Graham had been made acquainted with the circumstances some time since, and that the Commissioners of Police had given instruc. tions to employ some of the detective police for the purpose of discovering the writer of the letters, but that notwithstanding exertions had been used for the purpose, still they were unsuccess ful ; that even since the police were engaged in the affair letters of a similar tendency, and containing poison, had been sent to families in the Borough. . The MAGISTRATE then inquired, as it appeared Mrs, Spriggs was one of the persons against whom threats of the most violent nature were made, whether she had any reason for suspecting any person in her husband's employ as the writer of the shocking epistles produced ? The inspector said that inquiries of that nature had been already made of that lady, and it was found that no such suspicion was entertained against any member of her household. Mr. Col-rim:rum, addressing the churchwardens, said that in answer to their application every exertion should be used for the purpose of detecting and bringing to justice the miscreant. He would not be satisfied with a policeman merely watching for a few hours in the day about a particular post-office where the letters were posted, in order to discover the writer, but he should give direction" that the "^`t rigid inquiry should be instituted, an tion.
