The p;ent.ral and special meeting of the Shareholders of this rallway was held this day, in their offices, 0.(1 Broal-saeet. buildings, at half•past two o'clock. The time advertised for the meeting was two o'clock, but, to the non-attendance of Proprietors, business was not cOlnlneneed until the former hour. Abel Lewis Goiter, E-q., the Chairman of Directors, presided. The Secretary, Mr. FLEMING, having read the adver ti.semeitt calling the meeting, the minutes of the two pre vious meetings were read, and confirmed. The (.711.tinmAN said that the report the Directors had to ley t.el'or, the Shareholders was little different to what had previously been submitted to them, unless it were the r: fret that the West Cornwall Railway had not recei%e7l the sanction of Parliament in the last • session ; but they trusted that in the year to come they would be more successful. He had to state that a re->olution would be submitted to the meeting, tra•ting that they would allow the Directors to enter it.to negotiations eith the %Vest Cornwall Company fur the sale of the ilayle Railway. They had been invited to do so by the f ,rmer Company, contingent, however, upon the West Cornwall obtaining the sanction of the Legislature in the next session. He therefore, before submitting any of the re,olutions, would propose that the meeting ri ceii-e and adopt the report, with the ex ception of suet parts as would be affected by the reso lutions about to be proposed to them. The reprt was then read, received, and adopted. VIGUELLES then rose to move that the Directors be empocered and requested to enter into negotiations with the committee of management of the West Corn- wall line, having for their object the sale of the Hayle liaii way. As one of the promoters of the West Cornwall line, he could assure the Proprietors present that this Coirlytny had lost their Bill, simply from the mariner in which they attempted to run over the Hayle line. Ile was convinced there was a traffic sufficient in the West Cornwall districts to pay the capital which might be invested in a railway. He knew, also, that a line from Truro to Penzance must run over their (the Hayle) railway ; but having satisfied tha proprietors of the latter line by purchasing their shares, he could conceive of no opposition, provided the West Cornwall altered their line, and that he be lieved was the present intention. An lloN. PROPRIETOR seconded the resolution, which was unanimously carried. Mr. BAC EELS proposed that James Austin,;Esq., and Henry John Wenthrepe, Esq., the retiring Directors, be re-elected ; and John M'llonald, Esq., in lieu of Mr. Most, resign d. Mr. :NI. i / ON AED sad, that as the auditors had had great trottblo with the accounts of the Companv, and as they had rec. ived as yet no remunerati.in, he proposed that a sum of ter. , r .,uineas e ac h h e placed at their disposal, us a rernitneratton for their services during the last three yen After thanks had been voted to the Chairman and Director:, the meeting adjourned. DUTCH PAPEIiS. TI i E IFac v k, A (Jo. 10. 7 His Majesty the Ki ng arr i ved here yesterday afternoon from his visit to E.ngland. The Cycloop steamer, which landed his Majesty yesterday _morning at ten o'clock, performed the voyage from Woolwich in sixteen and a half hours. Atusreitnast, A tic. 10.—Accounts from Utrecht, Gro ningen, Bois-le-Due, and other places, bring very unfavour able reports respecting the potatoe crop. Some accounts say it is a kind of epidemic disease, which continues to spread, and to appear in different places which had hitherto been free. One account from Boisde-Duc says that the disease is none other than a vast quantity of insects invisible by the naked eye, or rather appearing like a brown dust covering all the leaves and stems. An experienced farmer states that he has observed this phenomenon not only on his potatoes, but en the leaves of many large trees, especially the oak and Ciinadian pines and poplars, all which look sickly. THE SUN, LONDON, THUTSDAII'EVENJNG, AUGUST 14, 1815 AMSTERDAM, Ann. 12.—The Handelsblad of this day has an article headed " Vigilance," in which it says " There are reports in circulation of events said to have taken place out of Europe which seriously affect the honour and the interest of the Netherlands. Though these reports happily need confirmation, we think it the more necessary to call attention to them, as in the midst of civilised Europe an event has made a great noise in which the honour and interest of the Netherlands are also implicated, and for which the Netherlands Government, far fron requiring reparation and satisfaction, has been content with t e most worthless evasions. We therefore consider it as our duty to notice some reports of such events, to warn the Government not to suffer itself to be imposed upon by any evasions or sophistries, when the honour and the interest of the country are concerned. The reports to which we allude relate to the conclusion of alliances and the establishment of factories by European Governments in parts of the Indian Archipelago, where the flag of the Netherlands is recognised by the native princes and people as that of the sovereign power. These reports state that some Englishmen from Singapore are engaged in settling as merchants on the north-west coast of Borneo ; that the French Government has taken possession of the Soloo Islands, situated near the north east coast of Bo rneo; an d th at the King of Denmark, to indemnify himself for the loss of the establishment in the Gulf of Bengal, which he has sold to Great Britain, means to found other settlements and forts on the coast of the island of Bahis. There is no doubt that all this is at variance with the rights and claims to those islands acquired by the Netherlands in the seventeenth century, when the Dutch East India Company, by its moral superiority and its conquests, was every where celebrated and respected in the islands and continent of India. Since that time up to this day the nations of that vast archipelago have always considered it an honoor to look on the Dutch flag as that of Jan Company, under the protection of which they think themselves safe, and are fend of calling themselves Children of the Company. " it is needless to prove how the rights and claims of the Netherlands are founded—whether on treaties er other acts of submission •, they must be raised in the eyes of all European powers. According, also, to the opinions of the most eminent British statesmen, they are also guaranteed by treaties between the Netherlands and other European powers. It is, therefore, the duty of our Government to preserve to the nation the pos sessive rights and claims which it has once required, and, in doing this, it must not delay till it receives from Java a con firmation of these reports, when it may be too late to repair all mischief. Let the Government act with dignity, and maintain the honour and interest of the nation." DUTCH FUNDS.—AMSTERDAM, Ace. 11. Money. Bills.

The weather yesterday in the metropolis was a decided im provement; there was scarcely a drop of rain, and the clouds were higher, lighter, and fleecier, than for several days. There was no sunshine, but the temperature was better, the wind was light, and the signs are all favourable. The progress of the corn crops towards ripeness since our last has been much less rapid than might hare been desired, though a perceptible advance has taken place in South Lancashire. We trust that no very serious, and still less any irreparable injury has been dune to the crops up to the press nt time, and that, if the weather should be tolerably fine during the remainder of the month of August and in Sep tember, we may still have an average harvest, taking all descriptions of crops into account: The hay crop which is already secured is very large, and the after-grass is most abundant, thus securing abundant food for cattle, without trenching on the grain crops. All kinds of spring corn and roots promise well, and though the wheat has been much battered, and can scarcely prove a good sample, yet there is still no reason to anticipate a deficiency in quantity.—Litser pool Times. WORTHING.—The want of genial weather for the approach ing important operations of the husbandman is the subject of daily remark. The speculation, during and between showers, existing among farmers having old wheat on hand, as to how and where they may obtain the highest price far it, forms a conspicuous feature in their present mental and practical pur suits. The threatening of ill in one respect may, indeed, be legitimately turned to profitable account in another ; yet that the inauspiciousness of the season, which, if not suddenly and speedily averted, will visit so many poor homes, should be a source of gain, gratifying, as in some measure it undoubtedly is to those who produce the crops so likely to fail, seems ano malous. There is no wheat cut between the rivers Arun and Adun, and none yet ripe. The crops generally stand up well, and are heavy.—Sussex Advertiser. 11 ieserxelean.—The rain, which has fallen in torrents during the past week, has completely spoiled the many acres of hay that were already very much damaged ; and at this instant the rain is fast falling, with a boisterous wind and a sinking barometer, insomuch that the most inauspicious forebodings are becoming prevalent as relates to the crops, whether of hay, corn, or hops. The partial blight of potatoes, which was first noticed here about a fortnight ago, is now found to be spread ing, and similar statements are given from different parts of East Sussex. May Providence avert the threatened catas trophe, and send us far different results from those of 1816 and 1817. The crops generally are abundant, but hot suns are re quisite to mature them.—lbid. BIRKENHEAD.—( From a Correspondent. )—I arrived this morning from southwards, having had my trip to Ireiand stopped at Plymouth, by the very contrary wind and stormy weather. The harvest in Devon, Somerset, &c., is very un promising ; and I cannot help thinking, from all I saw and heard on the roads from Plymouth to this place, that the crop will be quite under an average. This will combine, with any severe pressure on the money market, to shake the financial stronghold of the Government. Wheat is fairly up from Bs. to 9s. a quarter ; and as the chief stocks are now small, and these in the hands of speculators (the farmers having been compelled to thrash and sell early, from want of straw, which was very light last year), the average may be expected to rise soon, so as to let in the 450,000 quarters in bond, at a low duty and high price. HUNTINGDON.—The weather still continues very wet and dull ; the most serious apprehensions are now beginning to be felt for the growing crops ; it is evident that the lodged crops of wheat are mildewed ; the wheat, after fallow, is also mil dewed, whether lodged or not. The very heavy crops of bar ley which have been lodged this month or five weeks, are root grown ; the yield, quality, and straw will consequently be bad. We have noticed a great quantity of smut amongst the oats ; the loss from this cause cannot be less than a quarter per acre in the Fens. Turnips and cole-seed go on well. There is yet a considerable quantity of hay to carry in the late districts ; it is very much injured. The price of wheat has now reached 71. per bushel for the best samples, with a good supply,— Cam bridge Independent. CHELMSFORD.—Here and there patches of wheat were cut in this county in the course of the past week, and no doubt the sickle would have been in more general requisition, as in some districts, we understand, much of the corn is riper than it would appear from a cursory glance, had not the storms and gloomy weather determined the farmers to wait. The sun shine and drying wind of yesterday morning set many in ac tivity, and the cutting of wheat became rather general, though the afternoon showers a little damped the full ardour of harvest. A return of settled summer weather, now so much needed for gathering in the fruits of the earth, would set the sickle and scythe in full operation.—Es s e x H era ld. The wheat harvest has commenced at several localities in this neighbourhood, and the opinion is, as far as can be ascer tniaed, that there will be a general deficiency, compared with last year's crop, of full 9.5 per cent, We have heard that a similar deficiency is apprehended in the hundred of Tendring, which is allowed to be a most productive district. The barley crop is excellent, and if there should be a fine harvest, the quality will be very good. The oat crop is particularly good, but the bean and pea crops are defective, owing to an attack of that deadly enemy, the louse.—Essex Mercury. Previous to Wednesday we had three fine days, and it was confidently hoped that at last dry weather had set in. On the afternoon of that day, however, there was a heavy fall of rain, and we have had broken and cold weather ever since—yester day being the worst day we had during the season. It began to rain about eleven in the forenoon and continued till four ; Lut it was so heavy and constant while it lasted, that not only were all the streams in the neighbourhood much swollen and discoloured, but a large breadth of the crop had been laid down. From the stillness of the atmosphere, and the weight of the grain, the ears being now full, there is reason to fear that a large portion of the crop will be permanently lodged. Many fields of barley are now well coloured, and with a few bright and hot days would be ready for the sickle ; but the weather is so cold, cloudy, and rainy, and the crop generally in this dis trict being three weeks later than last year, no one will hazard a prediction as to the commencement of the harvest. In any event the harvest will be a late one, and unless there be a speedy and favourable change of the weather, there is reason to appre hend that it will also be a disastrous one. This is the more to be regretted, as the crop is probably as great as ever was pro duced in Scotland. Turnips and potatoes have made great progress, and look as well as can be desired.— Caledonian Mercury. The weather continues, on the whole, to be but little favour able to the ripening of the crops—a complaint which we find general all over the country. The atmosphere is cold and re pulsive, and the frequent rahis in many districts are telling with injurious effect upon the crops. This has told seriously on the quality of the wheat crop, which stands particularly in want of sunshine to bring the grain to maturity, and which, for want of sunshine, is every day that now passes getting more and more deteriorated. 1 s all parts of the country the heavy crops are considerably laid down, and nothing can save the wheat from being of very inferior quality, a n d unfit for baking without the assistance of foreign grain, except bright sunshine, stirring breezes, and dry weather. In this neigh bourhood we have neither seen nor heard of wheat that will be ready for the sickle in less than two weeks hence at the earliest, and the general part of the crop, even with favourable weather, will be at least a week later.—Glasgow Argus. DUBLIN, Auo. 11.—The weather holds up, and the alarm respecting the crops is lessening. SLIGO, Auu. 9.—The weather has again changed; during the week we had little rain, but the crops are not ripening in this locality as fast as we would wish. The general opinion amongst farmers, and persons best acquainted with the subject, is that the harvest will be more than an average one, but late. However, two or three weeks of fine weather would make a great alteration in the country. LONGFORD, AUGUST 9.—There is a large supply of new potatoes in our market daily, selling at from 3d. to sqd. per stone, but they are generally wet, from the variable and wet weather. ROSCOMMON„k tic UST 9.—The constant heavy rains with which we have been visited has done much injury to the crops is, this county. The hay crop is very late, and fears are enter tained that it will be much damaged. ATIILONE, AUGUST B.—During the last week the weather has been very wet, and it is feared a continuation of similar weather would do immense injury. The crops, generally speaking, as yet seem to have suffered little. Potatoes of a very excellent quality are selling in our market at 4id. per stone. Yesterday was really a fearful day for the country. The weather generally, this week, has been most favourable, for the oscasional fall of rain was not injurious, but the conti nucus, dull, heavy rain of yesterday, without a glimpse of sun shine, or a slight breath of air, spread universal gloom and despondency. Last night the rain came down in torrents, and this morning has opened with a dreary prospect. The cern fish's, whose standing was healthy and vigorous the day before, are prostrated in many places. At Meelick several fields of pasture were swamped by the mountain flood, which is this day accumulated on the lands of Lower Meelick. Deficient embankment is the great evil the farmer is exposed to in these districts. The weather, since our last, has been very wet ; however, the crops have not sustained much damage. The hay has suf fered in colour; some of the heavy crops, although bent under the pressure of the constant wet, are not in a dangerous condi tion ; new potatoes have been selling freely at 414 d. per stone. Westmeath Guardian. Never did the crops look better, with the exception of wheat, Si hid . ), in many places, has suffered from the rain, much of the grain presenting a rusted appearance ; but this blight, we trust, is partial. The present wet and unsettled state of the weather, however, is giving some uneasiness. This is a very critical season of the year. Should it clear up, the harvest will be most abundant—if not, grain of every kind will be much injured.-- Tyrone Constitution. We perceive the speculators are at work in consequence of the late rain, and wheat, flower, oats, and meal have advanced con siderably in the London and Liverpool markets. Wheat is up Is. per 801 b. ; flour 4s. per sack. There cannot be greater folly —the man who can sell at present prices is wise to do so, for a few weeks will depress them low enough. The crops have re eeived no injury whatever—there never was a better promise of an abundant harvest, and if the weather keeps fine, which is obable, prices will range lower than they have done for years past. We are blessed here with delightful harvest weather.— leo Journal. Notwithstanding the cause of alarm that has fur some time past existed, relative to the state of the coming harvest, we are happy to be able to state, on the testimony of an intelligent correspondent, who has just returned from the counties of Tip perary, Kilkenny, and Cork, that the appearance of the gene ral crops is of the most luxuriant character. He states that although passing by four hundred fields of wheat, he did not witness one field but what was perfectly upright. Oats ap peared equally abundant, with the exception of two fields, a part of which was partially laid. The potato crop appears more abundant than for years past. In the counties of Tippe rary and Kilkenny our correspondent says that the wheat crop, although far advanced, is not so much so as in the county of Cork. In the latter, particularly about Fermoy and towards Cork, the crops appear rapidly approaching towards maturity. A few weeks of sunshine, which we hope to obtain, will set everything right.— Cork Examiner. During the last week the weather has been very wet, and it is feared a continuation of similar weather would do immense injury. The crops, generally speaking, as yet seem to have suffered little. Potatoes of a very excellent quality are selling in our market at 4id. per stone.—Athlone Sentinel. During the last three or four weeks the weather has been very unsettled. On Monday the heaviest showers of rain that have been witnessed for many years fell in this neighbourhood. The crops as yet have not sustained much injury, and if the weather soon takes a favourable change a most luxuriant and abundant harvest may be expected.— Tyrawly Herald. For some time past the weather has been in a most un settled state. We have had severe cold winds, with copious and frequent showers of rain, which, we fear, must cause con siderable damage to the forward crops in this part of the coun fttehraye•r.rie mb L ea a y s a t night bceo enrt,tne 11 : ta h an e i en ee r d a o ti 7 d re e a s t c thh e ee n r d s e a l e f l iekte i y n t torrents, oh fe presentt h eharvest.and should Mercury.th GeawheoxraVsye hope that a ki n d P rov id ence will order it otherwise.— t _ GLASGOW COT TON SPINNERS:At a full meeting of the cotton spinners of Glasgow and vicinity, along with the tcnters of self-acting machines, held in the Institution Hall, in Great Hamilton -street, on Wednesday last, it was unanimously agreed that under present circumstances it is advisable for the trade to demand from their employers an increase upon their present rate of wages. It was left, however, to a delegate meeting representing the cotton-spinners of Renfrewshire and Glasgow, to be held in Paisley, to arrange the amount to be asked, and the manner in which it should be demanded.—Glasgow Natiohal. HOP INTELLIGENCE. MA t DSTO N E, AUG. 11. —Our reports all tell the same tale— eontinued wet, wintry weather putting an entire stop to the pro gress of the plant : and if we get anything like an average crop this year, according to the present appearances, it will be the most remarkable instance on record—hops and hot sum mers having always gone hand in hand hitherto. The late wii,ds and rains have retarded the plantations another week, in additi. , n to having bruised the bine and broken down a great many poles. The burr has suffered much by the whipping at the tops of the branches it is as hard as shot, and about the same size as number fours. The duty has receded to 1;5,0001. A correspondent observes that this is the most singular season he ever remembered. For freedom from vermin and mould, together with the general luxuriousness of the plant, he never sax so abundant a prospect—provided this was the early part of July, instead of the second week in August. For a thousand acres not a spot of mould, or an appearance of vermin is to be seen—but yet the growth is at a stand-still, not a hop is visible, and the burr itself comes out very languidly— and this within a month of the usual time for commencing hopping. THE FA RLEIG us.—Coming out in burr slowly—abundance of bine, which has suffered much from the wind. Box LEV, AYLESFORD, AND BURIIAM.—The hops in these pariFlies have received considerable injury from wet and rain ; the burr comes out very slowly, and from the backwardness of the reason a short crop must be expected. YALDING.—We have plenty of bine and burr and are now free from vermin. At this late period, however, there is much against the crop. The wind also knocks the shoots about sadly, and the weather is much too cold for them. A frosty night would probably be fatal, as a similar occurrence was about this time, in 1816. MEKEWOR.TH, WATERINGRURY, AND BARMING.— From these parishes we have the same report as from others— abundance of bine, burr coming out slowly, but no appearance of hops. EAST MA LLING.—The plantations here present as splendid an appearance of bine as ever was seen, and one forty-acre piece (Mr. Browning's) has at present the prospect of grim cr in more than a ton an acre. 'WEST MA LLING.—The bines here have been considerably beaten by the late stormy weather, but have a great show of burr. HADLOW.—In consequence of the late heavy rains and cold winds the hops in this district appear almost at a stand. Some burr has appeared, but few and fa r b e t ween . F rom t h ese c i r . eumstances the probability of anything like a full crop is very doubtful. WROTHAXI, PLAXTOL, IGIITHA3I. —The late heavy winds, rain, and cold nights and mornings, make a very decidedly un favourable impression relative to anything like a full crop of hops here. The burr does not come out freely. Still we are free from vermin, and have but little disease. No one can say what a fe.v weeks' fine weather would do, but without it, cer tainly a large crop cannot be expected. Grounds within the range of the high winds of Saturday sustained much damage; WO poles were torn down in one plantation of about three acres, in the course of an hour. SEVENoAKS —The hops have made little progress this week, and we are fearful, without an alteration in the weather, we shall have to report very unfavourably of them next. The bine begins to look sickly and yellow, particularly in the wet soils below the hill. Towards Edenbridge, we have seen a piece or two out in hop, but the generality hang much in burr, owing, most probably, to the cold nights and heavy rains. We dis cover but little fly. In exposed situations the wind has sadly battered the plant, particularly where the bine is very luxuriant, and it has certainly knocked the duty down to 180,000/. at least. Maidstone Journal. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE .NORTHERN ClRCUlT.—Lwicaster, Aug. 12. CIVIL SIDE.—( Before Mr. Baron RoLris.) DUCKETT V. TOMLINSON. This action was brought to recover damages for the seduc tion of the plaintiff's daughter. The plaintiff is a plasterer at Chorley, and the defendant a reedmaker at the same place. Mr. Segar conducted the case of the plaintiff, and Mr. Atherton that of the defendant. The plaintiff's daughter, on being sworn, stated that she was about 21 years of age. Her family consisted of her father, aged 52, her mother, aged 60, a younger sister of 19, and herself. They all lived together in the same house. She had been in a factory some time back, and her sister was now engaged in that way. There were three sleeping-rooms in their house, one of which had been occupied by herself and her sister, the sacond by her father and mother, and the third by an apprentice of her father. The families of the plaintiff and defendant had for some years been ac quainted. Defendant's father died, leaving his widow in the business of reedmaker, at which the defendant worked, and after the death of his father, in January, 1844, the defendant came to lodge at the plaintiff's, his mother lodging at the shop where he worked, which was a cellar, though one of the prin cipal shops of the kind in Chorley. The witness proceed, dto state that her father, at the time the defendant lodged with them, used to go out to work at an early hour in the morning. The defendant used to take his meals. He began to pay her attentions some time after he became a lodger, and since that she had had a child, of which he was the father, and whith was born on the 27th of last March. The defendant, in speaking of his property, had said that he had a house in Chapel-street, and two in Bolton-street. Those in Bolton street were cottages, and the other a house letting for 181. a year. Defendant, as a reedmaker, had the best stock in the place. He once said he got about 303. in three days. He had, on one occasion, advised her father not to suffer the visits of a young man who used to frequent the house, observing that his (the plaintiff's) daughters were respectable girls, and that the young man was not a person of good character. The witness, on cross-examination by Mr. ATHERTON, stated that defendant paid 2s. 6d. per week for his lodging, and that that included cooking and washing. When he came to lodge she and her sister left their room for him, and slept in the same room with their father and mother. The witness had been a winder in a factory just before he came to lodge with the family. He used to come home sometimes very late, and she used to sit up to let him in, the rest of the family being in bed. The defendant sometimes came home in liquor. She had not mentioned that to her father. He first began to take liberties with her on his return home one night at about 10 o'clock. Her sister was then out also, and re turned from the factory-school at about 11 at night. Did not mention the defendant's attempt upon that occasion. That was the latter end of March. She continued to sit up for him as before, and he repeated his attempt in April, and again in May. Did not mention those attempts to any one. It was at 6 o'clock one morning that defendant succeeded in his purpose. There was no one else in the house then but the apprentice. Her father was gone to his work, and her mother on a journey, and her sister to the factory. The girl's sister was called, and confirmed, to some extent, the foregoing evidence. Mr. J. Walworth, manufacturer, of Chorley, stated that the girl had worked in his factory. Knew the defendant, and had purchased reeds of him. His business is worth about 100/. a year. Does not know, but supposes that he must employ a man or two to assist him in the business, Mr. ATHERTON, in addressing the jury for the defendant, said, that it was admitted that the plaintiff was entitled to some damages, because the defendant did not deny that he was the father of the child, and he (Mr. Atherton) could not altoge ther justify the conduct which had unfortunately taken place between these young peeole. But this was a mere question of money, and the father, by the degree of negligence which he had betrayed respecting the conduct of his own daughter, did not show himself entitled to more than moderate da mages. It was not a proper thing that this young woman should have been left up of nights to let in a lodger like the defendant, and it was a remarkable fact in the case that, in order to find room for the defendant, the father had allowed the two young women, his daughters, to leave their own room, and to sleep in a room occupied by himself. With re spect to the means of the defendant, it was not distinctly shown that he in fact possessed anything at all, and it was most inconsistent with the idea of his having property of his own that he should be lodging at a house where he paid but 2s. 6d. a week for house-room, cooking, and washing included. It was for the jury, however, to determine what amount of damages might be just ; he would only submit that the nature of this particular case was such as to suggest that they ought to be moderate, and more particularly as it had not been proved that the father had been put to any additional expense on account of what had happened to his daughter. His Loanstitr, in summing up the case, appeared to express it as his opinion that it did not necessarily follow, from what was admitted on the plaintiff's side, that the plaintiff himself was at all to blame, or that he had in any degree been negligent as to the conduct of the girl. The jury consulted together for two or three minutes, and then gave a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages, 701. WESTERN CIRCUIT.-I)ecises, August 12. (Before Mr. Justice ER.LE. ) Thomas Sheppard was indicted for having, on the 22d of March, sent a letter to Sir Francis Dugdale Astley, Bart., threatening to destroy his property, at Everleigh. From the evidence. it appeared that, on the 22d of March last, a woman was going along the garden of a person of the name of Coles, who resided near the mansion-house of Sir Francis Astley, at Everleigh, when seeing something on the ground, she picked it up, and it proved to be a letter addressed to Sir Francis Astley. The letter went through different hands, until it reached Eir Francis Astley, when it turned out to be the following : " Everly,—Sir Frances, if ther is nit littel alteration in Everley verey soon that som of the pepeel send out of the parish of Everley, as ther is more then hundred inhabetens brote iuto the parish since Sir Frances is corn to Everley, and Mr. Brown and Mr. Thorall, and if ther is not littel altera tion made, we will burn the whoul parish dune to the ground. if the land were put into small farms ther would more hands employed, and if ther is not, we will burn the wohol parish doun to the ground, for it our intengen to it set atier." The prisoner was apprehended in two days, and he was asked to write a letter, which he consented to do, and the found letter was dictated to him, and he wrote from the dicta tion, but that which he wrote was in a much better hand, and was correctly spelt. A parish clerk was called, who stated that the prisoner, in 1837, had been clerk to a benefit society, and he had, therefore, become familiar with his handwriting. Upon looking at the letter found in the garden, he said he did not believe it to be in the prisoner's writing. A gentleman from Doctors'-commons, who called himself an inspector of disputed writings, stated, that from a careful examination of the letter, he was convinced that it was written in a disguised hand. The prisoner had left Everleigh for two years, and had worked at Marlborough; but on the day in question he was at Everleigh, and complained of the hardness of the times. The prisoner, in his defence, said he knew nothing about it ; he had never written such a letter in his life. The Learned JUDGE having summed up the case, the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. William Cox was indicted for maliciouslycutting and wound ing James Humphries, at Corsham, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm. This prisoner was a poor miserable looking wretch, with his head tied up with a handkerchief. The evidence was very simple. It appeared that on the 7th of March last the prosecutor, being sergeant of the Corsham Court of Requests, went, accompanied by two other persons, to the house of the prisoner to levy an execution. On their arrival they found the door of the cottage open; they walked in, and saw Cox sitting down in the room. They told him what they were come about. He said he had no money. They said they should take the goods. The prisoner then stooped down, picked up a bill-hook, and inflicted a severe wound on the head of Humphries, who became insensible. There then seemed to have been some fight between the prisoner and the other two men, and hard blows indeed must have been given on both sides. It was proved that the prisoner had epileptic fits, and was much excited when money was mentioned. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment without hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MAIVSION- HOUSE. THE TEA WARRANTS CASE.—Mr. W. J. Bland ap peared on Friday, Tuesday, and yesterday, before the Lord Mayor, to answer the complaint of Sheriff Sidney. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Humphreys appeared to support the charge; Mr. Parry attended for the defendant. The justice-room was crowded with persons engaged in the tea trade. Sheriff Sidney stated that he is in partnership with W. Ilall,and carried on the wholesale tea trade, on Ludgate-hill. He had known Mr. Bland fir the last fifteen years, and occa sionally had had dealings with him from the house of Bennet and Ce., and believed him to be one of the firm. Witness had, on the 22d of July, a quantity of teas for sale, previously to which time he mentioned to Mr. Bland that he had some teas which did not suit the trade of the house he belonged to, and wished to dispose of them at the market pri c e. Mr. Bland called upon him on the 22d of July respecting these teas, saw the samples, was informed of the quantities, and agreed to the price, saying, " Very well, I'll take these teas • at one month prompt, and you will take a parcel of teas from Bennet and Co. for cash." Before that witness supposed that he was dealing with the house of Bennet and Co., and he said to Mr. Bland, " Bennet and Co. ! Are you not a partner in the house of Bennet and Co. ?" To which Mr. Bland replied, " No, not a partner ; they allow me 6001. a year to do busi ness for them, and they allow me to do busine s s en to y town account." dr. Bland then expressed a wish to have the war rants that he might examine the teas and show them to the trade, and witness told him he might have the warrants of the broken parcels, but there could be no ne cessity for his taking the warrants of the 93 boxes of pouchong or the 24 chests of twankay, per the Hebrides. Witness then called Mr. Wells, his clerk, into the counting house, and told him to bring the warrants of the b r ok en parcels. Part of the !goods, amounting to 1904, remained in the docks to the order of the house, arid Mr. Wells brought the orders of these teas and the warrants into the counting house, and witness told Mr. Wells, in Mr. Bland's presence, that Mr. Bland would not require the warrants for the pou chong or the twankays, and the others might be given to him. Mr. Bland then left the counting-house. The meaning of " prompt one month " was, that the party purchasing should not pay for the teas for one month ; and with respect to the warrants, it was usual to retain them till the expiration of the month, and then exchange them for the money. When Mr. ' Bland had left the house witness called Mr. Wells into the counting-house, and, in consequence of information arising from their conversation, went with him to Mr. Bland to de mand the warrants for the ninety-eight boxes of pouchong and the twenty-four chests of twankay, as these were warrants he could not want for the purpose of sampling, and were not broken parcels. The bargain had taken place between three and four o'clock, and Mr. Wells was sent to Mr. Bland about five o'clock. ( The information given by Mr. Wells was that he had handed all the warrants to Mr. Bland.) Upon his cross-examination I'y Mr. Parry, Mr. Sidney said that he had reasons, up to the 22d of July, for considering that Mr. Bland was a partner in the firm of Bennet and Co. The pouchong warrants and the warrants for the young hyson were delivered to Mr. Bland on his own account. The pouchongs were worth about 801., and the twankays about. 110/. Witness admitted that he had met Mr. Bland on friendly terms after the 22d of July, but did not know that he had pledged these warrants. He did ride with Mr. Bland in a cab. He had that honour. He knew of the warrants having been takt-n on that day, but Mr. Bland said he had lsdged them wit h a br..ker for sale. The 2d of August was the first day he had a sus picion. On the 4th of August he went with Mr. Slaney to Mr. Bland fur the purpose of getting the warrants back, and he said if they were not returned he should certainly see his solicitor ; and, after making three procehals to him, he ,aid he should see the Lord Mayor on the subject, but gave him that day to consider. His first proposal was that Mr. Bland should return the warrants for the twankays per Hebrides. The ' second that, if Mr. Bland had not sold the whole of the goods, he should return the warrants, and witness should give up the contract. The third that, in case any warrants for the twan kays were not available to Mr. Bland to return to him, he , should give witness equal securities for them; but not one of these propositions were complied with. Mr. Bland on that occasion did not say he should not return the warrants. but wit ness did not recollect his reply, although he recollected it was , aver wordy one. Mr. Charles Well 3. clerk to Messrs. Sidney and Hall, stated, that on the •22d of July he was present at the inter view be tween Mr. Sidney and Mr. Bland part of the time. Mr. Sidney called to him to bring some warrants and delivery orders of broken parcels. Witness brought the whole of them, with the exception of the twankays, per the Hebrides, and left Mr. Bland in Mr. Sidney's counting-house, with all the war. rants in his hand except those for the twenty-four twankays. Shortly afterwards wirnese returned to Mr. Sidney's counting house, and heard Mr. Sidney say to Mr. Bland, " Oh, you'll not want those souchongs," or " There is no occasion for your having them." Mr. Bland replied, " Oh, yes, I may as well have them ; I shall want them to sample ;" and witness did nut think Mr. Sidney objected, but did not hear him speak, for be (witness) went backwards and forwards. Witness went back to his coanting-house for the warrants for the twenty-four chests of twankay, which he took to Mr. Sidney's counting house, and was going to give them to Mr. Bland, but Mr. Sidney took them from him, and said, "Oh, you must not have those warrants," and gave them hack to witness ; and Mr. Bland said, " I may as well have them altogether." Wit ness did not hear Mr. Sidney make any answer, and, as he was going to his counting-house, gave the warrants to Mr. Bland, who then went away. After Mr. Bland had departed, Mr. Sidney called witness to him, and they had a conversation, and witness went to Mr. Bland, to get 'back the warrants for the ninety-eight boxes of pouchong and the twenty-four chests of twankay, and Mr. Maud gave him warrants for eighty-nine boxes of pouchong, but said the warrants for the twankay were placed in a broker's hands, and that he would send them to Mr. Sidney in a day or two. A day or two afterwards Mr. Bland called, but did not bring the warrants with him. Mr. Charles Millard, tea and coffee dealer, of Little Tower street, said—Mr. Rand, who was well known to me, called on me on the 22d of July at a little after four o'clock. He said he wanted some money he had to pay. and he wished me to let him have some on some orders, and also on some warrants for twenty-four chests of twankay. I advanced him 2581. odd. There were some orders on some warrants. Orders for five chests of young hyson, one chest of gun powder, two of ditto, per City of Derry, and warrants for twenty-four chests of twankay, per Hebrides. The orders were in Sidney and Hall's names, deliverable to W. J. Bland on order. I asked him whether the warrants were his, and he said they were; that he bad bought them of Mr. Sidney, ani that he thought he should do a great deal of business with Mr. Sidney. I asked him how it happened that Mr. Sidney gave him the warrants, and he said he had given w ar r a n t s i n ex change ; that he had sold goods to Mr. Sidney to lull or more than the amount of those he had bought. The teas were sold, as Mr. Bland said I might sell them at once. I gave the war rants to the brokers, T. and R. Moffatt, of Mincing-lane, and 1 got the orders exchanged for warrants in my brother's name a day or two after. Mr. Bland said he had been to the warehouses to see that the goods wet e there, and showed me a receipt from Nicholson's Wharf to that effect. The transac tion was a private one, not a partnership one, for which reason I get the orders transferred in my brother's name. I lent the money to oblige Mr. Bland. I took from him a memorandum, which I required hint to sign, as I have done before, that they were his goods, and authorising me to sell them at a given time, the Ist of August, as I think. The witness, in cross-examination by Mr. Bland, said that it was defendant's frequent practise to call and explain his cir cumstances to witness; that the defendant had had loans from him both with and without warrants, arid such deposits had always turned out right, and that that practice had extended over a period of three years. Upon his re-examination the witness said—l certainly do not consider Mr. Bland's circumstances to be good. He was not in the habit of bringing such large parcels. He has com pounded and has not paid his instalments. I was a creditor of his for 9001. to 1,000/. I gave him part in money and part in cheques, and he gave me out of it a portion of the old debt— about 15/. I deducted the 15/. from the 2581 The witness then produced the following loan paper which he received from Mr. Bland : " London, July 22, 1845. " Sir—ln consideration of your having this day advanced me the sum of 258/. ss. 841., I have deposited Kith you, as a collateral security for the repayment of the same, the following warrants, &c., for tea, as per particulars annexed—l hereby engage to repay you the said muney, 25r-/ ss. Bd., in cash or Bank of Engl,nd notes, with interest at the rate r,f five per cent. per annum, on or before the Bth of August next, which, if I fail to do, 1 auihori.e you to sell the said tea by public or private sale, and should any loss or losses, togetler with all costs, charges, &c., 1 engage to pay the same on denund, the said teas being at this time my property. (Signed) " Mr. C. V. Millard." "W. G. BLAND, Mr. Josiah Brown, wholesale tea dealer, at No. 47, Curson street, having been called as wnictis curial by the Lord Mayor to give some explanation with regard to the practice of the trade, made his affirmation, and, in answer to his Lordship, said, " Bought at three months means, that when sold at three months, and the teas are not wanted before that time, they are to be paid for on that day, and warrants taken in exchange for the money if wanted before. If the parcel were a hundred chest parcel, there would be six or nine chest lots, and if we want six or a hundred chests we pay for that proportion. A• month prompt usually refers to second-hand parcels, that is, those which are in the hands of the trade ; but it is usual, by way of courtesy, to deliver the warrants, but it depends upon the seller treating his buyer with confidence. If not he retains the warrants ; but I cannot say what is more usual, withhold ing the warrants or delivering them." Mr. Clarkson said that the evidence which his Lordship had heard constituted the case against Mr. Bland, and Mr. Sidney, whose conduct was influenced by no feeling but a sense of justice and of duty to the public, left it entirely to his Lord ship to decide upon the course to be adopted on its future prosecution. The LORD MAYOR said that he had maturely considered the whole of the evidence, arid had come to the decision that Mr. Bland must appear elsewhere to answer the very serious charge against h►m. It was evident to him that Mr. Bland had used false representations to obtain the warrants, which he had divosed of, which had been asked for under the pretence of sampling, and handed to a person, in the habit of rendering pecuniary assistance to Mr. Bland, for money, an hour after they had been thus improperly procured. Mr. Parry asked for what definite offence his Lordship thought of committing Mr. Bland. The LORD MAYOR stated that he should hold Mr. Bland to bail to appear at the Central Criminal Court, to answer any charge which Mr. Sidney might think proper to bring against him. Mr. Parry protested against a committal of so vague and indefinite a description, and Mr. Bland earnestly requested that his Lordship would bind over Mr. Sidney and the witnesses to prosecute. The Loan MAYOR consented, and the defendant was re quested to enter into his own recognizances to the amount o WO/. to appear at the next sessions of the Central Criminal Court, to answer any charge which might be brought against him by Mr. Sydney. ti'ORSHIP-STREET. Susricious DEATH.—Yesterday a man named Joseph Clark, a wooden-legged man, a jobbing porter in the neigh. bourhood of Spitalfields, was brought before Mr. Bingham, on suspicion of having been accessory to the death of a man whose name is unknown. The deceased was discovered about six o'clock yesterday morning, lying in one of the archways beside the new street in course of formation from St. Katharine's-dock through Spital fields. There were several hurts about the forehead and other parts, which might have been occasioned by a fall upon bricks or stones, but there was a straight cut of a severe nature upon the crown of the head, which appeared quite distinct from the other hurts, and the side of the line of street was fenced by a railing of such height that. an ordinary-sized man could not easily have fallen over it. No property of any kind was found upon the deceased but a sailor's discharge ticket, bearing the date of the current year, and the name of Michael William Edwards. The deceased, however, had more the look of a rail way v. orkman. Sergeant Barker said that about half-past six yesterday morning he received information, in consequence of which he went to the spot above mentioned, and there found the de ceased lying on his face, and weltering in his blood, which was issuing from the mouth and nose. Subsequently he received a letter, which induced him to take the prisoner into custody. James White, resident in Spitalfields, said that he procured the letter to be written. He proceeded to state that about half-past eleven on Tuesday night, while passing through Wentworth-street, he saw the prisoner and another man, whom he believed to be the deceased, against a shop window. The man seemed to be drunk, and the prisoner, who appeared to be sober, was poking him in the side with a stick as hard as he could, while another man was encouraging the prisoner, and hitting the man with his fist. The witness said he was passing on the opposite side, but he was sure the prisoner was the per son he saw hitting the other. The prisoner said he know nothing about the deceased or any violence committed upon him. The Magistrate remanded him until the Coroner's inquest should have been held. [ADVERTISEMENT.] REMINGTON'S LINE.- LONDCN AND MANCHESTER DIRECT INDEPENDENT RAILWAY. We noticed in our last the unscrupulous manner in which the promoters of a quasi-competing " Direct" line from London to Manchester Ir " appropriated" some of the peculiar features of Remirgtores—the elder, better, and more popular line. Mr. Ashurst is the person who has acted thus ; and, by way of showing how far the op posite of modesty may be carried, he now charges the promoters of Remington's line with having been later in the field than himself, and (inferentially) with having taken up his ideas. Thus cloth Augustus Muzzlewig, who perpetrates mid cling rhymes in the Butock-smitity Gazete, "convey" whole pages from " Paradise Lost," and declare that his prose-run-mad was written long be fore Milton flourished The test of priority is simple. 'We have it and shall apply it. Let us look to the registration of the two projects. On the Ist of November, 1844, Mr. Remington regis tered his line : " For making a direct railway from London, com• mencing at or near Battle-bridge, to Manchester and York respectively, by one trunk line to Bedford or thereabouts, and thence diverging north-westward to Manchester, and north-eastward to York." The prospectus, registered at the stun," time, was summed up thus in the registration:— " Prosp.•ctus of the Direct London, Manchester, and York Railway, vie Bedford, taking in its route Chipping I3arnet, St. Alban's, Luton, Silsoe, Ampthill, and Bed ford, diverging thence north-westwards to Manchester by Wellingborcugh, Kettering, Market Harbormlgh, Leicester, Loughborough, Derby, Uttoxeter. Cheadle, Leek, and 'Macclesfield ; and north-eastwards to York by Iligham Ferrars, Thrapston, Oundle, S atnford, Grantham, Newark, between Retford and Gainsborough to Thorne, Snaith, and Selby. Capital 7,000,0001., in shares of 501. each. Deposit 21. 10s. per share." The prijeet thus registered remained in statu quo until the Ist of May, when it was revived by public advertisement by the Bedford solicitor of the line, and, on the 24th of that month, was a steond time re• gistered by Mr. Remiegton. as follows " I)IRECT INDEPENDENT LONDON AND MANCHESTER RAlLWAY.—Conituei.e., at King's-cross, 9 .t the no th end or. 6,ay'..ion r„ a d, and thcnc... roun.l Nlusweikhill to Frier , ' Barnet.

TO THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF LOSS DALE, HER MAJESTY'S POST-NIASTEIZ GENERAL. The petition of the undersigned sub-sorters in the General Post-office, Humbly showeth—That your petitioners are desirour: of availing themselves of your Lordship's kind permis sion to express their grievances, with unfeigned deference to the constituted authorities of the office. That your petitioners would humbly call your Lor,l - attention to the inequality of their present scale of salary, and to its inadequacy as a remune►•ation for their services. That your petitioners were promoted to their present office from that of the letter carriers for their good conduct and aptness at performing the duty which has now become both onerous and responsible, and they refer your Lordship With becoming pride to the fact that they have never, in any one instsnce, forfeited that good character, inasmuch as a criminal prosecution has never been instituted against any one of their b,frely. That your petitioners would cautiously avoid making an invidious comparison with other officers of the esta blishment, but they cannot refrain from pointing out to 3 our Lordship's notice the similarity of some of their duties to those of the clerks, and the arduousness of other duties in connexion with the letter-carriers. That when the present scale of salary was made in the year 1836 by your Lordship's predecessor, and the then secretary, Sir Francis Freeling, it was an arrangement which met with their sanction that there should be foul classes, at 801., 901.,1001., andllol. per annum, and that any subsequent increase in the sub-sorters should be equally divided on each class. Thus all had a prospect of ultimately rising to the senior class. But in con sequence of the number being increased from forty to one hundred and nineteen, thirty of whom arc on the three higher classes, seventy-four on the 80/. class, and fifteen who act as b.tter-carriers on the lowest class. So that as there is little disparity in the ages of our humble petitioners, they are precluded front ever rising above their present class after passing many years of t ery active service. Your petitioners, therefore, humbly pray your Lord ship to place them On a scale of salary according to their servitude ; so that each one may have the prospect of rising to a senior class every five years. That your petitioners' duties have increased two-fold since 1836, and that the physical labours which now devolve upon them are much heavier on account of the increased facilities given to the public, and the vast ex tent of the London newspaper press ; the arduous duty of sorting which falls principally on your petitioners. That your petitioners humbly but earnestly sal: amelioration of their excessive toil, of the injurious nature of which your Lordship may be best apptised by the fact that many of your humble petitioners are labouring under serious bodily injury which they have received in the performance of their duty, which can never be pecuniarily compensated, but which your Lordship may alleviate. As a painful proof that ill effects arise from their labours, they beg to refer your Lordship to the bills of mortality for the last two years, and to the present sanitary state of the office. That your petitioners humbly wish your Lordship to notice, that when they are disabled by sickness or other casualties, a considerable portion of the salary is de ducted. This your Lordship will please t 9 c- nsider often retards their recovery and embarrasses th( m in their circumstances ; they, therefore, pray your Lord ship to place them in the same position as other officers under the Crown, and that your petitioners may have the privilege of fourteen days in the year, without de ductions, of which your Lordship will please to deem them not unworthy, after twelve months of hard service in a confined and destructive atmosphere. That your petitioners respectfully affirm that it is im possible to escape such evils under a continuation of such circumstances, they therefore humbly pray your Lord ship to grant them—first, an adequate salary equal to their years of servitude, responsibility, and trust; se condly, a modification of their duties, which at present exceeds their energies, and destroys both body and mind; and lastly, that all extra duties performed by your humble petitioners be remunerated on the same principle as that allowed to other officers of the estab lishment. That your petitioners do most earnestly implore your Lordship to take such steps as in your Lordship's wis dom may seem fit to meliorate their condition—to give happiness and contentment to their homes, and enable your petitioners to maintain their families in comfort and respectability. And your petitioners, as in duty bound, August 5, 1845. will ever pray, &c. NEW CLAI i►S otiADE BY FREE TRADERS IN SOUTH LANCASHIRE. We understand that no fewer than 2,659 new claims have been made by the free-traders to be placed on the register of county voters, for the southern division of this county —claims which will be investigated at the re vising barristers' courts, to be held next month. In a recent number we stated the amount of new claims to be about 2,500, but that was only an estimate, and the fol lowing table will show, with tolerable accuracy, the real numbers in each of the polling districts within the divi sion. It is believed that these new claims are wholly independent and irrespective of the claims because of a tnisdescription, a removal, or a change of qualification, which are now termed reclaims, and a list of which is also added. But these make little or no difference to the register, while the establishment of 2,000 new claims would give that additional strength to the free-trade party in the division, and would doubtless enable them to secure the return of both its members : Free-Trade Polling Places.

A letter from Pesth, of the 28th ult., gives an ac count of a frightful inundation of several rivers on the north of Hungary. The great commercial town of Mtskoez, which has a population of 20,000, was submerged, the current being sufficiently strong to carry away several houses and other buildings. As the torrent came on in the night, several persons were taken by surprise, and lost their lives. All communication between Pesth and Kasehan was prevented for several days. This calamity happened on the 19th of July, pr ec i se ly t h e secon d ann i versa ry, day for day, of the conflagration from which Miskoez suffered so severely in 1843. BOULOGNE.— A young sailor of this town, named Fournier, left as cabin-boy some four years back. He was found on the quay of Liverpool with his tongue cut out, and his arms twisted out of their sockets, and in this condition was sent home to his family. It is said that he witnessed a murder of board, and was thus served in consequence. Neither being able to write nor speak, it is difficult to extract the truth from him.- Annotu: Boulogne. HEALTH OF THE COUNTRY. The Registrar-General has just made public a quar terly report, abuunding in interest. The Registrar of Charlton gives this curious account of the medical attendance of his districts : Thinking it desirable to know the proportion of the inhabitants who avail themselves of medical assistance in tune of severe illness, 7 have fos some years past kept a private record of the attendants in cases of fatal disease, an an Liy,is of which gives the following result : " Out of one thousand eases of fatal illness recorded, there were— IJl,dtr the care of regular medical practitioners as private patients 585 As dupensary, infirmary, and hospital patients Prescribed for by druggists 177 [lad no medical assistance whatever during the last illnessgg " ri.o. this it appears that this district, which contains a stealle- proportion or the very poor than most others. nearly one quarter (226 out of 100) are not attended by autnorised practitioners even in their last illness, and many (f the rest are so attended fur a very short time only preceding death. There is no doubt that the proportion of thu e who do not obtain regular medical assistance in less severe forms of disease is very much larger. The absence of proper medical attendance, in a large proportion of cases, renders it exceedingly difficult to procure correct information of the cause of death— impossible, indeed, without great care and labour, and the employment of medical knowledge." A statement of this kind, while showing how service able to the interests of the profession may be a careful and th-ughtful system of registration, and therefore ii w much to be encouraged, offers a striking picture of the net d that exists that the medical attendance which superabounds is this country should be made more avail able than it is—through causes easily removed—to the exigentAus of the public. The mortality of the spring quarter has, after all, been less than the average. Small pox hes, however, committed fearful ravages, from the apathy of the poor to the advantages of vaccination. In the only case of death recorded alter vaccination, the operation had been performed by a midwife. One hun dred and tour women also died from childbirth in the metropolis within three months. The weekly deaths in the metropolis fell progressively in the quarter from eight hundred :and eighty-four to seven hundred and fifty-six as the t mperature ro,e.—Medical Times. DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.—Last night, about half-past six o'clock two young men, brothers. were drowned in in the Clyde at the Green, under circumstances of very dis tres,ing nature. The names of the deceased are George and Robert Linn, the former a bleacher in the employment of Messrs. 11. Monteith and Co., at Barrowfield, and the latter a tailor, who has recently been working we believe, in Paisley. It appears that in the course of yesterday (Sunday), the two brothers, whe had not seen each other for a consi derable time, met in town—so far as is known, accidentally —ar.d had some whisky together, by which they both became somewhat intoxicated. They afterwards proceeded along Glasgow-green, where they were seen quarrelling. George, the elder brother, repeatedly pushed and knocked Robert about, and once or twice threw him on the ground, at which the latter appeared vexed and mortified, but so far as we have heard, made no attempt at retaliation. Their conduct attracted the notice of a number of blackguard boys in the green, who followed and assailed them with expressions of jeering and mockery, such as are frequently used towards persons found in a state of intoxication. %,‘ hen they reached the well situated immediatety beyond Dominie's Hole, a short way westward of Allan's Pen, the elder brother threw the younger down upon the ground, and soiled his clothes, which were wiped by a little girl who chanced to be upon the spot. While she was doing so, he complained to her that his brother had been teasing and ifl-using him. He then went to the brink of the river, and at the moment his brother George was drinking at the well, exclaimed " Farewell Geordie," and threw hi.nielf into the water, The elder brother at once plunged in to his rescue, but fell upon him, and they both went below. They came again to the surface, however, and Robert, the youngest brother, contrived to get to the shore, where he lay for a short time half in arid half out of the water. He then saw his brother struggling for life, and went back into the river, obviously to render him assist-ante: but by this time the strength of both was gone, and they sunk to the bottom. The bodies were recovered in the course of the evening.— Glasgow Argus. _ . Tux HARVEST.—Here and there patches of wheat were cut in this county in the course of the past week, and no doubt the sickle would have been in more general requisition, as in some districts, we understand, much of the corn is riper than it would appear from a cursory glance, had net the storms and gloomy weather determined the farmers to wait. The sunshine and drying wind of yesterday morning set rnany in activity, and the cutting of wheat became rather general, though the afternoon showers a little damped the full ar dour of harvest. A return of settled summer weather, now se much needed for gathering in the fruits of the earth, would set the sickle and the scythe in full operation.—Essex Herald. SWALLOWING FOREIGN BODIES.—Dr. Brookes de scribes two cases, in one of which a black pin, and in the other a halfpenny, was swallowed, and remained sticking in the ceso dliagus. In each instance the foreign body could readily be distinguished in the tube. where its presence was productive of great distress: the doctor's practice, however, was at first restricted to the exhibition of an emetic, and he did not have recourse to the probang until the emetic had vroved useless. Immediate relief followed the dislodgement of the foreign bo dies, which were afterwards found in the stools. We trust the experience thus gained by Dr. Brookes will induce him in future net to trust to emetics, when the foreign body is within reach of the probang.—Medical Times.

T .L., LATE SESSION.--From the official records issued by order of both Houses of Parliament it appears that no fewer than 666 different documents, either in the form of reports and blue books (some extending to upw:rds of 1,000 folio pages each), or returns, statistical or otherwise, have been directed to be printed by the House of Commons alone. By far the greater number of these have been already issued ; but a long list of documents, including many of the utmost pubic importance and interest, still remain to be printed add distributed ; and the like is the case with respect to the papers of the other branch of the Legislature. No fewer than 22 reports, returns, &c., were moved for or presented in the House of Commons only on the last day of the session, all of which will be some time before they are ready for publication. Indeed, these proofs of the labours of a session generally con tinue being afforded during a large portion of the recess ; the more especially will it be so now, after a session of such un - exampled labour and extensive investigation. The House of Lords sat during the late session 95 days; and the House of Commons 125. The official records of the proceedings of the forn:er occupy 1,048 pages ; those of the lower House of Par liament 2,078 pages, the last two of which contain 16 notices of motions, which now stand in the order-book of that House " for the next session." There were altogether 170 divisions during the past session in the House of Commons. Ii ttering, Market Harborough, ‘ joining the ; 1 . Cointies Railway at I,4cester.
