POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Yesterday George Boyle was re-examined, charged with defrauding several chemists of bottles of Rowland's kalydor and Macassar oil. In the instance where the prisoner obtained a bottle of Rowland's Macassar oil from Mr. Butler, at the corner of St. Paul's Churchyard, pretending that he was Mr. Jackson, of 22, Holborn- bill, an additional witness, residing at that house, was examined to show that no person of that name resided there. Mr. Alderman MOON committed him on this charge. In the case where the prisoner obtained, at a surgeon's in St. Martin's-le-Grand, a bottle of kalydor, using the name of Mr. Lawrence, of the Post-office, Mr. Lawrence was called to prove that he bad not authorised anybody to obtain it, and that he knew nothing of the prisoner. The pi boner solemnly denied that he had used the name of Mr. Lawrence. Tyrrell, one of the Post-office constables, deposed to finding a blank cheque on Messrs. Lubbock at the prisoner's house, No. 9, Stayman-row, Highbury. The prisoner asked the officer with what object he had offered his wife a shilling when lie searched the house? Tyrrell explained that he did so purely from charity. He found the family in possession of a large unfurnished house; they had no change of clothes; his wife was almost in rags, the only food in the house was a little screw of tea and some bread and butter, and when lie asked what money there was in the house the wife opens d a drawer and showed hint three halfpence. Presently a little boy came in, and, seeing the distress of the family, lie and his brother officer (Peake) agreed each to give her sixpence, which they could hardly persuade her to receive, • The prisoner sad the officer had truly stated his distress. He was once in affluent circumstances, but he was ruined by employing a lawyer to recover a few debts for the board and education of children. The lawyer not only kept all the money he collected, but sued the prisoner for costs and stripped him of everything. At fifty-nine years of age, and with his hands unfit to labour, what could he do? He obtained the bottles of Macassar oil and other articles on credit, intending to call and pay when his affairs changed. A friend had let him into possession of a house, he had issued circulars to open a school, and all seemed to be going well, when he was ap prehended on this charge. Ile begged the alderman to be lieve he had been driven to what he had done by dire poverty, and to look on him with mercy. Mr. Alderman Moos said the charges were numerous, and ran over a considerable period. He should have taken the same course to make his distress known, and obtain re lief, that was open to all. Fraud or theft could not be ex cused on the ground of necessity. It would have been better to apply for relief than to resort to crime, and persons of education should be an example to the rest. The friend who let him into possession of the house would propably have assisted him further. The prisoner was then charged with obtaining on the Bth of October a beaver hat, value 1/. ls., from Messrs. Griffiths and Johnson, of Bond-street, by falsely pretending that he was Mr. W. Rust, of Ealing-grove, and 30, Park-street, Grosvenor-square. He was committed on both charges, and removed to Newgate: BO W-STREET. Yesterday, a police-constable of the F division, named John Guy, was charged with having absconded from the force with 23/., received by him in his official capacity. The prisoner was on duty in the Strand early on the morn ug of the 13th inst. At about four o'clock he apprehended a woman on suspicion of robbing a seaman, named Dat id . Evans, and took her to the station-house in Bow-street, where he handed to Mr. Logan, the inspector on duty, five Si. Bank of England notes, two sovereigns, and 21s. in silver, which he had found in her possession. This Money was given back to the prisoner when he brought the charge before the magistrate. He was ordered to give up one of the notes to the seaman (who was daily expected to leave Plymouth, on board the Caledonia), and it was his duty to return the re mainder to Inspector Logan, who was responsible for its safe custody, This was not done, and on the following evening he was reported as " not on duty." The suspicions of his superior officers were consequently aroused, and it was soon ascertained that he had absconded from his lodgings in pri vate clothes, leaving his uniform behind him. On Thursday morning Inspector Black, who had been apprised of his re treat, proceeded to a house in New-street, Webber-street, Lambeth, where he found the prisoner in bed with a prosti tute. He searched the bed, and found 201. 7s. wrapped up in paper under the pillow. On being informed of the charge, and duly cautioned, he admitted his guilt, and stated that he had changed one of the notes for gold. A shopkeeper named Mary Roach proved that the pri soner had given her a 51. note in payment for a pair of boots on Tuesday last. Inspector Dodd said, it was the duty of all constables to attend at the station-house after the disposal of charges with which they were concerned, to report the result of the exa mination, and to deliver up whatever property might come into their hands. This was always done without any ex press directions from the inspector on duty. In thiswer to the inquiries of the magistrate, it was stated that the prisoner was a young man of highly respectable cormexions. He had been in the police force about six months, having been bought out of the army by his friends. The prisoner said nothing to the charge. Mr. TWYFORD committed him for trial at the Old Bailey. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday Henry Hughes. Onshu , , gentleman, of Queen's row, Brompton, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having, while in a state of intoxication, committed a series of outrageous assaults on the police and others. Police-constable Godfrey, C 147, who appeared to have suffered great injury, said that about twelve o'clock the pre vious night he heard a cry for the police, and on going Into Duke-street he saw the defendant, who, without speaking a word, rushed at him and knocked him down. Witness rose, and was again knocked down, and knelt upon by the defen dant, who kept beating him while on the ground. Com plainant regained his legs at laSt, and was a third time knocked down, when the defendant forced his fingers into his mouth, seized his tongue, and made an attempt to tear it out of his mouth. The crowd called out during the attack fur witness to use his truncheon, and witness did draw his truncheon, and strike his enraged assailant a slight blow. The defendant then attacked every one right and left, and was not overpowered until he had made a very great re sistance. Richard Smith, a Waterman on the Piccadilly coach-stand, said he went. to the assistance of the constable, and was knocked down by time defendant. 311- Robert Upton, surveyor, Stamford-villa, was passing with his wife at the time, when he received a violent blow on the face from the defendant, without having given the slightest provocation. Mr. Richard Rees, 32, Piccadilly, said he had been as saulted by the defendant, and that it was lie who had given the alarm of police. The circumstances under which he came into collision with the defendant were these :—He had un luckily let his second floor to a lady who styled herself time wife of a Captain Murray, though the captain had not as yet been visible. The defendant, it was believed, had some kind of intimacy with thiS lodger ; and, as this was likely to injure the respectability of his house, his wife, when the defendant knocked at that late hour, refused• to allow him to enter. Hearing a dispute in the passage, he went out, and, on en deavouring to shut the door, the defendant attacked him, and struck him a violent blow on the body, from which be was now suffering, as his medical attendant's certificate would prove. He then called for the police, and, on the constable snaking his appearance, the defendant knocked him dovin re peatedly, and struck every one indiscriminately until he was overpowered by numbers. The defendant, in answer to the charge, wished it to be particularly understood that he knew no lady of the name of Murray, and had no acquaintance with any lady living in Mr. Rees's house. With respect to the assault, he was ready to admit his great culpability. was under the influence of drink and unconscious of his actions. He conceived he had been assaulted in the first instance, and this led him to strike at those who first struck him. He was sensible of his mis conduct, was ready to apologise, and to make recompense to those he had assaulted, and he now threw himself upon the merciful consideration of the Court. Mr. HARDWICK said the defendant had been convicted on the clearest evidence of committing a number of ferocious assaults, not only on the police, but upon persons who were accidentally passing through the streets at the time. The defendant was m the station of a gentleman,. and his educa tion and position in society ought to have taught him the duty and propriety of submitting to the law, and of abstaining from committing assaults on those who were in the performance of their duties as public officers. There was no circumstance of mitigation in the whole evidence to warrant him in doing otherwise than to inflict the highest penalty of the law, inadequate though that penalty was in most cases of assault of an aggravated description. The law gave him the power to dispense with a pecuniary fine in the case of assaults on constables. This power he should cer tainly avail himself of, and at once send the defendant for one month to the House o f Correction for the a=sault on the police-constable. He should further fine the defendant Si. for each of the assaults on the three other witnesses, or iu default of payment two months' additional imprisonment for each fine. The defendant, who appeared astounded at the punish ment, was removed from the bar. In a short time a gentleman came into Court and applied for a mitigation of the sentence of imprisonment on the ground of the distraction of the defendant's family, who were of high respectability, at witnessing the de'endaid's degrading situation. The defendant was perfectly contrite, and ac knowledged the justice of his sentence, but hoped lie might be allowed to pay a money fine, and to recompense amply the injured policeman. Mr. Hauedvicre replied to the applicant's repeated solicita dons, that in a case where so much drunken brutality had been exercised he was entirely indisposed to show any lenity, and therefore he could not alter his judgment. THAMES. Yesterday Mr. Sidney Isaac Sidney, of St. Mary-axe, who described himself as an attorney of the Court of Queen's Bench, in applying for an assault warrant stated, that he went to serve a writ, and was told the party would come down from his room shortly. He waited a considerable time, but as the person did not come down lie went up with the writ, and was assaulted in a very violent manner; so much so that he had some difficulty in making his escape. Mr. BALI ANTINE —The writ was not addressed to you; why did you go to serve it ? Applicant—. Any person is com petent to serve it. Mr. BALLANTINE—No ; it should be served by the person to whom it is addressed. Why did you not, being an attor ney, send your clerk? Applicant—l thought it more cour teous to go myself. Mr. BALLANTLNE--I can't grant your application under the circumstances. If you complain of contempt of the Court of Queen's Bench, apply to that Court for protection. Applicant—l have been assaulted, and I apply here for redress and protection. Mr. BALLANTINE—I cannot give it to you. The fact, on your own showing,, is, that he found you in his room, and turned you out. Applicant—Well, the next time he does so I'll protect my self. I could have done so. Mr. BALLANTINE—Very well; do as _you will. Applicant—But if I do so you'll sisil had no right to take the law into my own hands. Mr. BALLANTINE—It is more than probable. I cannot, however, grant your application, as I do not see what right you had to get into the man's room. The applicant left the Court evidently as much surprised as piqued at the refusal. SOUTHWARK. Mr. George C7alton, Q.C., Recorder of Gloucester, and Bencher of the Inner Temple, was charged before Mr. Jeremy (who sat for Mr. Traill), with travelling in one of the Croy don Railway Company's carriages, and refusing to pay the fare, Is. 3d. The case being rather novel created considerable interest, and occupied the attention of the Magistrate several hours. James Smith, one of the officers of th e B rg h ton and Croy don Railway, said, that the night b e f ore, on the arrival of the ball-past eight o'clock train from Croydon at the London bridge terminus, the defendant arrived in one of the carriages. His ticket was demanded of him in the usual way, and on his refusing to deliver it he was given into cw,tody. The fare (Is. 3d.) was previously demanded of him. the de fendant told him that he came from Sydenham, and offered to pay him is. the fare from that place. He (witness) re fused to take less than the is. 3d., as the Act of Parliament specified that he must pay the fare for all the way. Witness produced a printed copy of th e by-laws, which . he said were ljzed up in a conspicuous Pine at ev er y tennills and station along the line. Mr. JEREMY—Can every passenger see these by-laws on proceeding to the carriage? Witness—Yes, your Worship; they are painted with large letters on spacious boards and fixed on the platforms. Mr. Chilton contended that he had been taken into custody illegally, and that the copy of the by-laws could not be re ceived in evidence. Mr. JEREMY said that he had examined the by-laws pro duced; they were a legal document and bore the authenti cated seal of the company ; it had also been proved that they were affixed at every station. The defendant was bound either to produce his ticket or pay the fare. He had lost his ticket, and how was the officer to know whether he came from Croydon or Sydenham? He had much better have paid the Is. 3d. than taken up the time of the Court. Mr. Chilton (rather vehemently) said, that he was dragged to the station-house like a felon, and would have been locked tip had not a friend residing near the Court come and bailed him out. They had no right to lock him up, as they knew his name, and the station that he held in society. If what they had done was justifiable, any poor man who was known to the guard of a train and to the pas sengers in the same carriage as having paid his fire, might be locked up from his family many miles from home; his unfortunately- losing his ticket would, it appeared, justify the company in demanding from him an enormous sum; a man could not be arrested for 100,000 L, but yet a gentleman could be dragged to the station-house for 3d.; he considered that the railway authorities were not empowered to detain him. Mr. JEREMY said Oat lie certainly doubted whether the railway authorities had the power of detaining him. This was one of the difficulties of legislating by deputy, especially when they had to deal with the by-laws of a public company. The clause 183 which was affixed on the boards was not a by-law, and that specified that if a person.travelled on a railway without a ticket he should pav the anramt of the fare from the Croydon terminus. `Whether the officers had power to detain a party for the money was the question. The party's name and residence might be unknown to them. Mr. Chilton—l gave my name and residence, and am well known at the railway station, being in the constant habit of travelling to Sydenham by that railway. Mr. JEREMY—But the officers might not know you? Mr. Chilton—l am well known to some of the superior offi cers, and if the witness had allowed me to go into the office I should soon have been recognised. I want to know what offence I have committed? Sutton, one of the guards upon the railway, proved that on the previous day he was struck on the face very severely by a stone, near the same spot; he picked up the stone (pro duced) from the tarpauling of the carriage on which he was seated. _ RELATIVE CLO RAILWAI.

Mr. Chilton—lt is not for the sake of the money that I re fused to comply with the officer's request, but it was the prin ciple of the thing. I want to try the point whether the Act of Parliament gives the railway company authority to detain and lock persons up in my situation. Mr. JEREMY inquired whether any of the superior officers of the railway were in attendance? This was a question of some importance to them. Smith said that none of them were in attendance but him self and the ticket-collector. Mr. Chilton—Some of the clerks ought to have attended, especially when they knew my station in life. Mr. JEREMY—There is no proof that the officer knew you. I think it would have been better for you to have paid the Is. 3d., and then you could have appealed to the laws. Mr. Chilton—l cannot conceive the meaning of the Act of Parliament. They might put new men at the station every day, and take parties into custody who were well known and had unfortunately lost their tickets. The Rail way Directors would have a tine power over the liberty of the subject. There is one other thing. I doubt whether lam liable to pay more than a shilling, which I tendered, as I can prove that I got in at Sydenham. tinder any circumstances, they had no right to give me into custody, but to have sum moned me in the regular way. Mr. JEREMY said that it was clearly an offence against the by-laws His friend, Mr. Traill, who had just' entered the Court, Concurred in bis opinion, that: the officer on the rail way had a right to detain him for the full fare. - Mr. Chilton—l have been locked up and in custody all night.

I, however, paid my fare at Sydenham, and unfortunately lost the ticliet which I had received. I also offered to pay the fare again, but the officer demanded ls. 3d. I considered that they were not justified in demanding it, therefore I refused to pay it.

Mr. JEREMY (to Smith)—Have you ascertained whether Mr. Chilton paid his fare at Sydenham on the previous evening? Smith replied in the negative. Mr. Henry Charles Chilton was called and sworn. He said that he saw his brother (the defendant) pay a shilling at the station at Sydenham at half-past eight o'clock on the previous evening. Mr. JEREMY said that he had no doubt that the defendant bad paid his fare; that wasnot the question at issue. Tickets were given at the station where the passengers paid, and, as a check upon the company's servants, they were required to be given up on the arrival of the passengers at their destina tion, lie had not given up the ticket; therefore he was liable to pay the fare, and on that point he was bound to adjudicate. He would not give any opinion as to the legality of giving the defendant into custody, as that was a subject for another tribunal. Mr. Chilton—lf the Company will defend the witness Smith, I will most certainly bring an action against him for false imprisonment. Mr. J EREMY had perused the Company's Act of Parlia-. ment with his learned friend Mr. Traill, and was of opinion that the case in point was not a penalty, but a forfeiture of the fare, Is. 3d. Under the 182 d section they had only power to summon the defendant. Therefore, it was clear that they hal no right to give him into custody. He must, however, as the ease had gone on, order the defendant to pay the Is. 3d, Mr. Chilton paid the fare, at the same time protesting against the legality of the magistrate's decision. Mr. JEREMY—It appears, on further perusal of the Act, that all pcnalties are recoverable by distraint on the goods and chattels of the defendant. Therefore, if it was my case and I wished to try the question, I should let the company. distrain. I.cleoster and Bedfoid..

Yesterday at the Brentwood Petty Sessions, Mrs..lllargaret Sarah Harding, a widow lady of respectable connexions. was brought up in custody to the Town Hall, before Messrs. Hay and Bousfield, the presiding magistrates, on a charge of pur loining from the shop of Mr. Radford, silk-mercer and haber dasher, of High-street, Brentwood, a quantity of lace and other articles of value, his property. On the apprehension of the accused, who was fashionably attired, the sum of nearlyiB,ooo/. in Bank of England notes and India bonds, were found. The prisoner, on being placed in the dock, was evidently suffering from mental anguish. She was accommodated with a chair during the whole of the proceedings. Mr. Mayne, of the firm of Hardwick and Mayne, solicitors, of Chelmsford, attended on the part of the accused lady. Mr. James Radford, the prosecutor, deposed that about half-past three o'clock on the afternoon of the preceding day, a lady came to his shop and purchased a quantity of articles, which were left on the shop counter with (:.rders to be sect home. Witness then went up stairs to his ware room, leaving only one of his apprentices in the shop. In about half an hcur the shop bell rang, and on witness going down he found the prisoner in the shop. She inquired for Mrs. Radford, who was engaged at the time, when the pri soner said she would wait to see her; she was accommo dated with a chair. Witness then commenced packing up the goods on the counter, when he missed a quantity of Brussels lace and other articles, of the value of N. Witness questioned the apprentice respecting the property, but the lad said he had not seen any o f th e ar ti c l es , an d that no one had been in the shop since he (witness) had been up stairs but the prisoner. Witness felt reluctant to question the prisoner; whom. he knew to be a highly respectable lady, and had been in the habit of making large purchases at his shop ; her excited manner, however, raised his suspicion, and he asked her respecting the missing property, when she denied all knowledge of it, and evinced great indignation on being questioned upon the subject. Witness observed that no one had been in the shop since the articles had been placed on the counter but his apprentice, and, however un pleasant, he must insist upon her being searched. The pri soner, after expressing her astonishment at such a line of conduct, consented that her person should be searched. In furtherance of this object, witness called Mrs. Radford, who accompanied the prisoner up stairs to a private room. In a few minutes Mrs. Radford rang the bell, and on witness going stairs he was informed that t he p risoner would not allow , herself to be searched.

Oount the officer's appearacce, the prisoner took out her purse full of bank notes and sovereigns, and offered it to hills if he would allow her to go home, and not be exposed. Mrs. Caroline Radford, the wife of the prosecutor, was next examined ; she proved discovering the stolen articles secreted about the person of the prisoner, who during the time entreated for mercy, and expressed a hope that she might not be prosecuted. Both Mr. and Mrs. Radford were subjected to a severe cross-examination by Mr. Mayne, the prisoner's legal ad viser, but did not shake their testimony. Mr. Mayne said he should not say anything on the part of his client at that time, but he could assure the magistrates that the whole of the transaction would be satisfactorily ex plained on a more proper occasion. The prisoner was then fully committed to take her trial at the ensuing Chelmsford Assizes, and all the witnesses were bound over to prosecute. The prisoner was then removed from the dock in a faint ing condition, her unhappy situation being commiserated by all in Court, amongst whom were many of her relations and friends. Before the magistrates left the bench ; Mr. llayne applied to them to admit the prisoner to bail, which was refused. : %1;% 4M 117 : i THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 17, 1815. line), % p.—Ditto (Head's), 17s.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. TONBRIDGE WELLS, BRIGHTON, AND HASTINGS JUNCTION. Yesterday a public meeting of the inhabitants of Hastings, convened by the Mayor, was held in the Town-hall, for the purpose of receiving a deputation from the Directors of the above Company, and also from the Directors of the projected Hastings Harbour Company. Soon after two o'clock, 'George Scrivens, Esq., Mayor of the borough, took the chair, at which time the Town-hall was crowded to excess, and among those assembled were some of the most influential citizens of Hastings. The CHAIRMAN said that be had taken upon himself the responsibility of calling the present meeting, and when he saw the numbers, the weight, and the influence of those who attended it, he felt quite at ease as to the consequences of the step he had taken. if they were able by means of railways to bring back that prosperity and wealth which they enjoyed during the war, without its evils, they would have much cause to congratulate themselves. He begged to state that in calling this meeting he had done it from a feeling of jus- tice to any company who would come among them, and give them their time and their trouble, in order to make for them a railway and a harbour. Though he was a member of the Provisional Committee of this Company, yet it was not on that account he had called the present meeting, but be cause he thought that they were bound in justice to hear all parties, and to have a fair discussion as to the merits of the project. S. A. FRY, Esq., barrister-atlaw, one of the members of the deputation, then addressed the meeting. He appeared before them as representing an influential company, and he would shortly explain their intentions with respect to the railway which they had been called together to consider. The question now before them was, whether there should be a line direct from Hastings to onbridg,e Wells. He was happy to find they were all agreed that there should be a railway; and he took it the only snbjcct of contention was, who was to have the making of the railway, and how the railway'was to go. Now, on behalf of the company for which hewas addressing them, he begged to remind them that they were first registered, and that their directors consif ted of gentlemen who occupied a most respectable commercial posi tion in the city of London, and of others possessed of great local influence in this town. It was proposed to start from Ton bridge Wells ; but they did not mean to use the station of the South-Eastern Company, because that would involve them in the cutting of a tremendous tunnel, which by adopting another terminus they might avoid. They meant to follow the course of the valleys, and come by Wodehouse aud Watling ton to Hastings. There would be two tunnels in their course. They did not mean to bring their line as the crow flew, for that would be absurd ; but they would avail themselves of the natural course of the valleys, and they would take up those railways which were scattered through the district as feeders to the main trunk line. At the same time it would not be concealed that they were not the only company in the field. He would put it to them, whether their interests would be better secured by an independent company, or by one whoQe lines led in an entirely different direction, and who would make Hastings a mere branch for their trunk line. —(Hear, hear.) If they were satisfied with the gentlemen on the committee of this company—men who held a high commercial standing in London, and who were of great local influence in this town, then lie would put it to them whether they would not prefer an independent company to one which had an interest altogether different. Ile did not know what the South-Eastern Company intended to do with regard to the pier and harbour, but he thought they had enough of such matters on their hands already. He must say that the South-Eastern Company had taken no notice whatever of Hastings, until after the announcement of this company in the newspapers, and then it occurred to them to take the subject into their consideration, and they agreed that it would be expedient to make a railway. He emphatically called upon them, as men of sense, if they wanted a line between Tonbridge Wells and Hastings, to take it into their own hands, and not to he made the victims of a mere vote of expediency, and turned into a branch line; or perhaps by another vote the Directors might afterwards discover that it was not expedient to make the line at all. R. RANKING, Esq., moved the first resolution, to the effect that it was the opinion of this meeting that a direct and in dependent line from Tonbridge Wells to Hastings would be ofgreat importance to the town of Hastings and St. Leonard's, and that the Tonbridge Wells, Hastings, and Brighton Junction Railway Company was deserving of their support. Mr. COOPER, in seconding the motion said, there was but one opinion in the town that a railway to Hastings was necessary, and an additional subject on which there was no difference of opinion was, that they should have a harbour. On the question being put, Mr.. SHORTER, town-clerk of the borough, said the meet ing had only been convened yesterday, at twenty-four hours' notice, to receive a deputation from this company. This no tice was very short; but still that was no reason why the public should not receive information. He gave the deputa tion credit for the way in which their information had been communicated; but it should be remembered that other com panies were also in the field. He admitted that he was there to speak for the South-Eastern Company, and after hearing the gentleman who preceded him affirm that that Company had no moral claim to come to Hastings, lie would ask whether they had not an equal, if not a paramount, claim to the present company? They were already making a line from Ashford to Hastings, and ,they had a station here; why then should they not be allowed to go from Hastings to Tonbridge Wells? He was authorised to state that they did intend to make the line; that the survey was in the course of being made; that money was in their hands to do it; and if they obtained the consent of the landlords along the line, it would be made without the intervention of an Act of Par liament ; therefore, he would contend that they had an equal, if not a superior, claim to this company to make the line. He then moved, as an amendment, that the thanks of the meeting be given to the gentlemen of the deputation for their explanations, and that this meeting declines to pledge itself at present to any particular line of railroad. Mr. ALMOORE seconded the amendment. Mr. FRY trusted they would excuse his making a few ob servations before that amendment was put to the vote. It was of no use to conceal the fact, that the effect of this amend ment would be, and was, probably, intended, to substitute one company for another. It was all very well to compliment the deputation, and to say that Hastings should not pledge itself, but the practical effect of this amendment would be to pledge the meeting for the one company against the other. Mr. Hennes would advise the meeting to support this line at once. He supported it because it proposed to give them that which they all wanted—a railway and a harbour; and all their interests would be looked after. He was satis fied of its merits; but lie left the matter to them, they were the jurymen to decide upon it. F. SMITH, Esq., banker, wished to explain in a very few words the position he had taken up with respect to this rail way. They had wanted a railroad for many years, and hopes had been held out to them of obtaining one, but as yet they had got none; and he believed they never would have one, if the matter was to depend upon the South-Eastern Company. He had taken up his present position because he saw there was an intention to carry the scheme out.—(Applause.) He never had been connected with railways, and he would have had nothing to do with this, unless lie saw that there was a disposition to do good to the borough of llastings. On that account he did hope that the orginal resolution would be carried unanimously.—(Applause.) Mr. H. TWAITES said that llastings was now in the po sition of a blooming virgin.—(Laughter.) All parties, from the north to the south, from the frigid to the torrid zone, were ready to pay their devoirs to her, and to bring her a railroad. Mr. WILLIAMS wished to know where the Hastings ter minus was intended to be. Mr. LLOYD stated that it would be situated near the Priory-marsh. The vote was then taken, when eight or ten voted for Mr. Shorter's amendment, and the great body of the meet ing for the original motion. This result was hailed with loud cheering. Mr. LLOYD then rose to explain the project regarding the pier and harbour, whieh be said had been provisionally re gistered for the last three weeks, and he had come down to ascertain what was really the feeling of the inhabitants of Hastings on the subject.—(A voice—" There's no doubt about it.") He did not think there would be any difference of opinion; but still he wanted some formal and authoritative declaration from the inhabitants themselves, with which lie might return to London; and then he would come down again with Mr. Page, the engineer, and immediately set to work on the subject. The first thing that it was natural for them to ask was, where was it proposed to place the har bour? Now, he would say to them that the impression en tertained by the gentlemen in London was, that the fish market would be a proper place; but on this subject he would pot pledge himself. He had only farther to say to them, that if they would allow him to go to London to morrow morning with an authoritative declaration of their opinion in favour of the project, lie would pledge his word of honour that lie would return with the engineer on that day week.—(Great applause.) Mr. BREEDS, after a few observations, strongly urging the importance of the scheme to Hastings, moved that a harbour and pier to Hastings would be of great benefit to all IA classes in the town, by securing ship and steam communica tion with Paris, through Dieppe, and that this meeting ap proved of the project of establishing a harbour and pier, and would promote the object to the utmost of their power. Mr. TREHURST seconded the motion. Mr. WILLIAMS would like to know on what principle it was to be brought to the town, before giving the scheme his sup port. Former projects had proposed to levy a rate on the town; and others proposed a duty on coals and fishing-boats. Mr. LLOYD explained that the Company would charge certain dues, sufficient to afford a fair interest for their money, on all vessels using the accommodation they afforded. Tlie idea of levying a rate on the town was certainly absurd. Mr. SIIADWELL was afraid that the making of a harbour would bring a malaria to Hastings, as it had done in other places, which would certainly drive fashionable visitors from the town of St Leonard's, and thus the harbour would in jure, rather than benefit Hastings. Mr. SerticKiesxis suggested tlri.t the. rennin and malaria complained of by Mr. Shacivrell was only incident to harbours ___ —______________ ______ upon rivers, and nbt to those that - were constc acted upon the EXETER,.

ESSEX QUARTER SESSIONS. THROWING STONES AT A RAILWAY TRAIN. CIIELMFORD, Ocr. 14.—Charles ,Savill, a sturdy looking lad, only 13 years of age, was charged under the statute for the regulation of railways, with wilfully endangering the safety of persons conveyed upon the Northern and Eastern Counties Railway; by throwing a atone, at Sheering. Mr. Marsh conducted the prosecution. The facts of this case were that, on the 10th of July, the prisoner was at work in a field with another boy near Sheering-bridge, and as the express train approached that spot, the prisoner took up a stone, declaring he would throw itthaet t the train : hi s compan i on entreate d hi m not to d o so, b ut train boy tascarried out his expressed d e t erm i na ti o n w h en th e Within about 15 yards of the bridge, aed whilst it was proceeding at the rate of between 50 and 60 miles an hour.

NEW ZEALAND COMPANY. A special Court of Proprietors in the above Company was held yesterday, at the New Zealand !louse, Broad street-buildings, for the purpose of taking into con sideration the general state of affairs, and of adopting such measures as might be deemed most expedient. Among the Proprietors present we observed 11. A. Aglionby, Esq., M.P., Chairman ; R. D. Mangles, Esq., M.P. ; S. Majoribanks, Esq., M.l'.; Sir John Pirie; Sir Henry Webb; George Robins, Esq.; Jeremiah Pilch( r, Esq. ; G. F. Young, Esq. ; J. E. Boulcott, Esq. ; J. R. Gower, Esq.; A. J. Valpy, Esq.; Major Chase; Major Carphy ; Captain Nairne, &e., &c. H. A. Agliouby, Esq., M.P., presided. The SECRETARY (Mr. Harrington) read the report of the Directors, which was in substance as follows : The Directors draw the attention of the Proprietors to the discussions which had taken place in June and July last session, in the House of Commons, relative to the affairs of New Zealand. In the course of these discus sions, the Prime Minister stated, in the most decided terms, his sense of the usefulness of the Company as an instrument of colonisation, and his desire to promote its prosperity. In consequence of these opinions, publicly expressed, the Company, on the 24th of July, the day after the close of the second de bate, addressed a letter to Lord Stanley, in which they stated that, without abandoning their own views of the true policy to be adopted, they deemed it advisable to suggest measures which, being based upon the principles laid down by his Lordship, might lead to a practical re sult. Upon this (to use the words of Sir Robert Peel), Mr. Le!evre, the Secretary to the Board of Trade, " a gentleman who had not been mixed up with the previous transactions, and was, therefore, enabled to take a more dispassionate view of the whole case, was called in to as sist the Under-Secretary for the Colonies ;" and, with the assistance thus given, a negotiation and correspondence was entered into, for detailed particulars of which they begged to refer the meeting to the documents inserted in the appendix, of which the following might be received as a brief summary— The suggestions contained in their letter of the 24th of July had reference to the tvo points, namely, the in stitutions by which New Zealand was to be governed, and the titles to land; and they added, that, should their (the Company's) suggestions afford means for a practical solution of these points, there would then be such an opening for the renewal of their colonising operations, that they doubted not the Government would be willing to remove the only obstacle that would remain, by ad vancing such a loan as would be necessary to enable them to act. These suggestions had not been complied with in all respects ; but arrangements have been assented to, which comprised a provision for the erection of municipalities in the several settlements, with considerable powers of self-government, to be extended hereafter ; and for the introduction of delegates from those municipalities into the general Legislative Council of the Colony. With regard to land, possession was to be given of the lands awarded by the Commissioner, Mr. Spain, wherever those awards had been delivered by him, either in his judicial character, by virtue of his powers under the Land Claims' Ordinance—or in the character of an arbitrator, whose aijudication had been authorised by the representatives of both parties. The Directors entered into a lengthened statement as regarded the internal affairs of the colony. One portion of the report informed the meeting that a loan upon the security of the land had been promised, subject to the sanction of Parliament, to the extent of 100,0001., under certain conditions. _On the strength of the loan _ _ so promised, Messrs. Snyith, Payne, and Smith, had al ready advanced a considerable Ration, which had beet shipped per the " Mary Catherine," to meet the curren engagements of the colony. The Directors also in formed the meeting that they had sanctioned the appoint meat of Mr. Fox as the successor of Col. Wakefield. Mr. LITTLE moved that the report now read be re ceived and adopted, which was put and unanimously agreed to. GEORGE Itomics, Esq., moved the next resolution, to the' effect that the Court cordially concurred in the tribute of respect paid by the Directors to the memory of the late Governor ( Mr. Somes), and condoled with his surviving family. The Honourable Gentleman said that, in seconding the resolution, he felt bound to compli ment the Directors on the very satisfactory report which they had submitted In doing so, he felt bound to notice more especially the passage In it that referred to their late Governor. The language in which that tribute of respect was conveyed was most correct and becoming. He felt satisfied that no Company . . could have been more fortunate in the se lection of its Directors than the present. Had it not . . been so, they never would have arrived at their present position. He had not had the honour of a seat on the Directory hitnself, but this be would say that, with any other Board, they never could have overcome their past difficulties, and successfully weathered the storm. They had but to look to the conduct of their past Governor, to the proceedings of their present Chairman, and to the exertions of the Board of Directors during the last four or five years, to be satisfied of this. But to their late Governor they had been especially indebted. He had been always found at his post, and his exertions on behalf of the Company were unremitting. He (Mr. George Robins) fully concurred in the terms of the reso lution, and considered the tribute conveyed to be even short of what was fully due. Mr. PERCIVAL briefly seconded the resolution, which was unanimously carried. Mr. LANCE moved that the several measures be con firmed, and thanks given to the Deputy-Governor and the Directors. General BRIGGS rose with pleasure to support the resolution. The report they had heard was the most satisfactory ever brought before a meeting. He gave the resolution his support with the more pleasure, that the measures had been successfully brought to an issue with her Majesty's Government. One point he must notice. The Prime Minister had said that New Zealand was a colony in a state to have a representative Govern ment; and there is a representation by municipalities. Yet, by late accounts, it appears the Governor has set aside all the local governors by his own efficiency. But, if the colony is in such a state as to be represented, it is not fit that the Governor should set aside the repre sentatives, acting entirely on his own opinion. It ap pears also that the colony of " Russell" is in danger of being destroyed: it is liable every day to be attacked. Yet it is gratifying to know that eighteen companies of in fantry and one of artillery have been sentout by the British Government to support the interests of the Company in New Zealand. Were such a Government to continue as had been for the last few years, it would be necessary to arm the colonists, that they might prepare to defend themselves. Yet self-defence in a country is impolitic. It is not an improbable occurrence that the militia might go out to defend property without authority. Get her Majesty's troops there first, and then the militia.—The motion wss unanimously carried. Sir HENRY WEnis moved that the gratitude of the meeting was due to the Hon. C. Buller, and the other Members on both sides of the House, who advocated the cause of New Zealand and the colonies generally last session ; and to her Majesty's Ministers for the grant of 100,0001. on the security of the Company's lands, an expression of their confidence in the Com pany; which was supported by Mr. Carpie.—Carried unanimously. Mr. M‘LEon moved the thanks of the meeting to the Chairman on the present occasion, for his conduct in the chair that day, and for his unwearied attention to the interests of the Company. The motion was seconded by Major MAJORIBANKS, and unanimously agreed to. The CHAIRMAN returned thanks, and stated that, having assisted to get the Company out of its present difficulties, he would still continue his exertions until the interests of ti e proprietors were placed on a firm and permanent foundation. He felt much flattered at the notice taken of what he had done, and pledged himself tobe always ready to advance the welfare of the Company by every means in his power. The Court then broke up.

BROUGHAM CHAPEL.—The outward appearance of this interesting place of worship, which stands inia beauti fully secluded situation at the top of a woody bank on the north-east side of Brougham Hall, shaded by fine old trees and thriving evergreens, while the green ivy creeps up and clings to its ancient walls—affords but a faint indication of its internal compactness and beauty of finish. The ceiling i s most tastefully emblazoned with the coats of arms of a large number of ancient and noble families, which are gilded and coloured according to the rules of heraldry. Amongst them are the arms of the Cliffords, Ventriponts, Pembrokes, Crack anthorpes, Weyberghs, Broughams, &c., from the earliest periods. The pulpit and pews are neat but not gaudy. The chancel is most beautifully decorated with several scriptural figures of ancient carved work. During the time that Lord Brougham is located at Brougham Hall, divine worship is performed in this chapel by the incumbent of St. Ninian's Church, to which it is a chapel-of-ease, every Sunday after noon.—Post. NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE RAILWAY.—The Di rectors of the Newcastle and Carlisle Railway Company have, it is undestood, resolved, in accordance with the suggestions of General Pasley, who recently surveyed the new works upon their line, to do away with the tunnel near Corbridge, which fell in some time ago, and caused a temporary stop page of the line, and to make it an open cutting. The com pany have determined to lay a branch line west of Hexham, to Woodburn and Bellingham, where blast furnaces have already been built for the making of iron, and which will communicate with that important mineral district; and a so to make another branch *Om their main line near Halt whistle, into the Alstot district. The formation of thee branches must necessarL sing a cozsiderable increalle of tratitc upon this railway.

TONBRIDGE AND RYE HARBOUR DIRECT: The first meeting of the Provisional Committee of the above line was held yesterday, at the temporary offices of the Company, 94, Cheapside. Mr. MONEYPENNY, upon taking the chair, stated that the meeting was assembled for the purpose of taking into consi deration the expediency or non-expediency of making a rail road from the station of the South Eastern Company at Tontiridge. or Paddock Wood, to Rye Harbour. They had also to determine whether a deputation should attend from that Company at the forthcoming meeting of landowners at Cranbrook. Mr. Giles had been requested to survey and report upon the best line of country, for the purpose of car rying a line from Paddock Wood to Rye, and they would then hear the result. Mr. PRESTON stated that they had met for the purpose of forming a line of railway from Paddock Wood to Rye, the nearest port to France. It was intended to pass through the richest part of the Weald of Kent, containing many thou sand acres of hops and a considerable population. About a fortnight ago a meeting of landowners of the dis trict was held, at which Lord Beresford, Captain King, and other influential gentlemen and landed proprietors were present. There did not exist the slightest difference of opinion as' to the advisability of making the proposed rail way, not merely as regarded the convenience of the inha bitants of the country through which it passed, but also as a pecuniary investment. The only objection was, that the line, which had been surveyed by Mr. Giles, passed through the property of Lord Beresford, who, although favourable to the line, was not willing that it should intersect his property. There was no other way of avoiding this difficulty, except by going through the property of Mr. Roberts, which immediately adjoined that of his Lordship's; the land , owners, however, determined not to support any line which passed through the grounds of the proprietors contrary to their wishes. The meeting was therefore adjourned i-ntil next Monday, with a view of giving Mr. Giles an oppor tunity of making a fresh survey in the meantime, in order_ if possible to obviate the difficulty, a purpose which he had .since completely accomplished, and had now selected a line which would meet the approbation of all parties. The port of Rye had long been regarded as a most desirable one, in many points of view; but in consequence of its out of the way situation, and want of facility of communication with the metropolis, it had not advanced as it otherwise would have done. The inhabitants of Rye and the other places upon the line were decidedly in favour of the proposed railway. Rye would be benefited by being brought into connexion with Maidstone, as well as other places. Hitherto, they had suffered froth the railways having formed a kind of barrier against them from north to south, a difficulty which would be removed by the projected line. The hop-growers were very desirous of availing themselves of the cheap mode of transit for their hops by railway, instead of the slow and difficult mode of carriage by waggons. W. BAsTow, Esq., then proposed, and J. BENsoN, Esq., seconded a resolution to the effect, that it was expedient that the proposed Company be established to carry out the object as stated in the prospectus, subject to such alterations as might from time to time be deemed advisable. A managing Committee and ofAcers were then appointed, and also a deputation to the ensuing meeting at Cranbrook; and thanks having been voted to the chairman, the meeting separated. EXPERIMENTS ON THE CROYDON ATMOSPHERIC RAILWAY —Trains of from eight to twelve carriages each have lately been daily running, sometimes from nine o'clock in the morn ing until dusk, upon that portion of the above line already constructed, that is, from Forest-hill, close by the Dartmouth Arms' station of the parallel line, as far as Croydon. These trips are continued more with the view of exercising the men, and thoroughly instructing them in the duties they will have to perform when the line comes into full operation, than to test the merits of the system, for it appears now, from the results of previous experiments, that this principle of railway communication will succeed. Within the last few days seve ral of the directors, with many scientific. persons, have had ocular proof of the working of this line, and the imperfections consequent upon an almost entirely novel undertaking, hav ing been removed, all who pronounced an opinion upon the system were decidedly favourable to this plan, the question as to the power of ascending inclines, and turn ing in- curves, being decided in the affirmative. Our reporter went by a train of eight carriages, yesterday, from the Dartmouth 'Arms' station, to Croydon, at the rate of a mile in eighty seconds; but on this occasion the break was on for the whole, or a considerable part of the distance. Some few Jaye previously, however, a train of twelve car riages was propelled at the rate of seventy-five miles an hour. So great is the rapidity sometimes, we are told, that many birds, attracted to the tube by the composition and grease, and unable to fly away soon enough on the approach of a train, are struck and killed by the foremost carriage. No time is yet positively fixed for the opening of the line, but, from the advanced state of the works, it cannot be long hence, probably a fortninght. On Monday next, it is stated, that Sir Robert IPeel, Bart., with General Pasley, the In spector-General of Railways, and a large number of the aris tocracy, will take a trip on this line. HULL AND HOLYHEAD DIRECT.—This important scheme is certain, to be entertained and supported, as its merits are not of an'ordinary kind. It will be seen that it is to pass between the two points that furnish its explicit title, by the way of Sheffield, Macclesfield, and Chester. A summary of the course n the line shows that this railway will connect the North Sea with St. George's Channel, and thus form a direct route from Holyhead to Hull. Commencing at Chester, where it will form a junction with the Chester and Holy head, and Chester and Birkenhead, it will pass between Northwich and Middlewich to Macclesfield, Sheffield, Ro therham, Doncaster, and Howden, and by a junction with the Hull and Selby line, it will proceed to Hull. Between Chester and Macclesfield' 17 miles will be saved ; between Macclesfield and Sheffield. 23; and between Sheffield and Hull, 30 miles—an aggregate saving of 60 miles between Hull and Chester. At Macclesfield. 'the line will be con nected with the Manchester and Crewe, with the proposed Leeds, Wakefield, Barnsley, and Sheffield, and likewise with the proposed line from Sheffield through Gains borough to Great Grimsby. It will form a junction, too, at Howden with the York and Selby, Leeds and Selby, and the great northern railways. The desirableness and the ultimate success of a route like this,cannot but strike the casual observer with the importance of its construction . He will perceive that its reach is an extended ono, andthat its ul terior termini lie adjacent to countries whose trade would readily find its way upon such a line. On the one hand, we have the connexion of Hull with the ports of Europe, and on the other that of Holyhead with the ports of the Irish coast, while at the same time more inland, we have the great manufacturing towns in direct working operation with this route. The mineral wealth of Wales, too. will find outlets by this course, so that the project may well be deemed one of the most important that has yet been presented for public approval. The surVeYs of this line have been commenced, and we are happy to know that it is in such hands as will be able to push it forward with success. FOREIGN LINES. M. DITMON, brother of the Minister of Public Works, has been appointed Royal Commissioner to the Orleans and Vierzon Company. • APPROACHING ADJUDICATIONS.—The Minister of Public Works is expected to arrive at Paris between the 21st and the 25th of this month. After leaving Avignon, he will visit the proposed courses to be taken by the various Lyons lines. The period of the adjudications will not be positively known until the arrival of M. Dumon. It appears certain that the Paris and Strasburg Railway will not be, as some of the journals announce, the first adjudicated, but that the Creil and St. Quentin will take the lead. This adjudication will take place between the 13th and 10th of November. The Paris and Strasburg will follow, and then the Tours and Nantes. To the latter will succeed the Lyons and Avignon, and the Paris and Lyons will close the series. All the lines will be adjudicated before the meeting of the Chambers. DEATH of MRS. ELIZABETH FRY. (Abridged from the Chelmsford Chronicle.) This distinguished individual expired at Ramsgate on Sun day last, after a long and protracted illness, which she born throughout with great fortitude and resignation. The subject of this brief memoir was the daughter of the late John Gurney, Esq., of Earlham- hall, Norfolk, and sister to Samuel Gurney, Esq., of Upton-hall, in this county, banker. At the early age of eighteen, by the permission of her father, she converted an apartment in Earlham-hall into a school-room, where she daily gave 24 plor children ele mentary instruction in reading, writing, and arithmetic, &c. In the year 1800 she married Mr. Joseph Fry (who still sur vives), a member of the Society of Friends—who materially aided her praiseworthy exertions, by appropriating a large sum annually to her use, by which Mrs. Fry was enabled to extend the sphere of her usefulness. In the year 1816 Mrs. Fry succeeded in establishing a ladies' committee for the reformation of the interior of Newgate, and in this laudable undertaking she met with the cordial co operation of the Sheriffs of London and the Governor of the Prior to the latter date the female inmates were left with out any employment, an evil which the discriminating powers of the subject of this mlmoir soon discovered, and instantly set about to remove it by the establishme-t of a manufactory for the women's tried side, as well as a school for children, which were daily superintended by the lathes of the committee. No sooner were the benefits of the manufactory known, than the females on the untried side petitioned the ladies' committee for a similar provision, which was granted, and we may observe, the moral resuls sutpassed the most san guine anticipations of its promoters. The subject of this memoir not only elicited the encomiums of the English press, but her name was associated with every philanthropic object in most of the Continental nations of Europe. In the slave-trade question her exertions were sur passed only by a few of the opposite sex. Such was her humane and benevolent disposition, that her sympathy extended to the whole human family, without reference to country, clime, or religion. She was looked upon as a phy sician to body and soul ; she fed and comforted the poor, supplied them with clothes, and did everything that would administer to their well-being and promote their happinesp. In the neighbourhood where she resided (Upton, in this county) her benevolence is too well known to need comment. Her readiness to hear the cause of the distressed and destitute and alleviate their sufferings, won for her the respect of all classes, and raised for her a name which reflects the highest credit on her sex as well as on the Society of Friends, of which she was so distinguished a member. The funeral of Mrs. Fry is fixed for to-morrow (Saturday) when her remains will be interred in the Fiiends' burial-ground at Barking. CITY OF WESTMINSTER LITERARY, SCIENTIFIC, AND MECHANICS' INSTITHTION.—The thirty-fourth quarterly general meeting of this Institution, took place last evening, Wm. Page Wood, Esq., Q C., in the chair. It appeared from the committee's report, that the numbers were rather lower than usual, but that the several departments of the Institu tion were maintained in full efficiency, and that the evening classes, so peculiarly adapted to the wants of the mechanic, had received especial attention from the management. A very interesting series of public lectures was also announced for the next quarter. A discussion ensued on a proposal to commute certain privileges of the Institution to raise a fund toward reducing the building debt, which was carried: and it was also agreed, on the - proposal of Joseph Carter 'Wood, Esq., V.P., to appoint a committee to consider and report on various plans for the liquidation of the debt. Thanks having been voted to the chairman, the meeting adjourned. DEATH OF THOMAS POTTINGER, ESQ.—At Port- Stewart, on Friday morning 4 the 10th instant, Thomas Pot tinger, Esq., formerly Captain in the Bth Royal Irish Dra goons, and Aide-de-Camp to General Sir George Nugent, Bart., C.C.S., when commanding the forces in India. De cewed was the father of the late Major Eldred Pottin;_rer, the hero of Herat, and the liberator of the Caubul captive=, by whom a qilentlid vase testimonial ,was presented to his family. He-received a severe wound at Hera`, which, to , ' , ,- ther with the fatigue he underwent, caused 145 death at Hong-Kong. --Northern Whig. MEETING OF MIDDLESEX M A GIS 1 ".."1 A TES.

The only point of ny lex( lty alltried to was in conjunction with the efforts of the visiting justices t° alleviate the condition of the patients.
