Ill' LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 19, couragement to those wild aborigines, at the hands of British authorities, have not hitherto been followed by the beneficent results that, as a general consequence, are planted in " new countries" with the British flag, we may be assured that sufficient time has not yet elapsed since our occupation —or that circumstances, in themselves sufficiently favourable, have not yet occurred—for overcoming the enormous power of national habits, the strength of early-inculcated super stitions, or the brutalising effects of a gross and benighted ignorance, and ages of prescriptive indulgence in sensual and vindictive criminality. If the Bushmen at the Cape of Good Hope, or the nameless nomadic tribes who wander over the interior wastes of New Holland, still continue inaccessible to the mild conquests of our influence and our example, we must have patience. We may be very sure that public opinion at home would not permit our au thorities abroad to neglect the great duties that devolve on the representatives of the Queen of all civilised States in the native regions of the unreclaimed savage. Besides, the dictates of self-interest, although a more sordid, would be by no means a less efficient motive to the adoption of a kindly and improving policy towards the aborigines by those who had come to live among them. But the English free settlers, the " squatters," and the farmers of our various territories in New Holland, complain that the native tribes (incited in many cases, no doubt, by the runaway convicts, deserters from merchant ships, from our men-of-war, and from the:whaling vessels of the United States, who take to the " bush"), are of predatory habits so incorrigible, that it is be coming impossible to preserve large flocks on sheep-walks which are situate far inland, or in districts more adjacent to the sea, but in the vicinity of the native haunts, from wholesale plunder and destruction. We are sorry to find from the last file of Australian papers we have seen that these depredations are becoming so frequent and so extensive as to have quite disheartened some of the flock-masters. Their apprehensions are aggravated by the vexatious operation of the extremely impolitic pasture licenses, which the local Government per sists in requiring owners of any stock exceeding a given number, to take out at a cost which is really extravagant in a country that circulates so little money. Many of them, finding that the encouragement they once had for their industry and enterprise (and their long and perilous journeys in quest of new sheep and cattle walks rendered them the pioneers of geographical dis covery through the stupendous solitudes of that still imper fectly explored fifth continent), have abandoned the useful pursuits of grazing altogether, except on the limited scale of small stock-farms. They are now driving what we conceive to be a most pernicious trade, destructive in the long run to their own means, although at the present it is bringing them in very heavy returns. This trade is strictly analogous to that which a farmer at home, here, would be considered to be driving, who should first have made up his mind to the sacrifice of all the previous outlay he had been at, and then betake himself to living, as well as trading, upon capital, instead of profits. The Austra lian colonists, who in past years exported the finest wools in the world to the English and to other markets, have now adopted pretty generally the practice of boiling or melting down the carcasses of their sheep for the sake of the tallow—a commodity which is, at present, the subject of profitable export from their shores. Of course it will now be their purpose not to follow in the foot steps of M'ARTHUR, and the other provident founders of Australian prosperity, in times past, by assiduous attention to and an enterprising outlay upon the continued improve ment of the quality of their fleeces and the mode of preparing them for the consumers in Europe, and especially in Great Britain; but to feed their sheep and their oxen for the sake of the tallow. Any more improvident waste of means in a young colony we cannot picture to ourselves. By the same remarkable law of nature which pervades almost the entire of the lands included within the enormous limits occupied by the Polynesia, Australia is singularly poor in the larger mammalia adapted either for the food or the service of man. Our readers need not to be reminded that all its flocks and . _ whole press of Madrid, the provinces, and foreign nations ; it is attacked with equal violence by those who wish to let loose revolution and those who wish to enchain it ; by the Tiempo, the Globo, and the Heraldo, who demand the appli cation of the representative system in all its purity; by the Clamor Publico, the Espectador, and the Eco del Comercio, who do not think the Constitution sufficiently revolutinary; and by the Conciliador, the Esperanza, and the Catolico, who find it too liberal. In the face of this universal oppositicn, which is made with a conjunction, a boldness and force of reason and expression which cannot be misunderstood, the Ministry preserves th e mos t i nexp li ca bl e coolness and confi dence. It retains on its side the Posdata alone, a jour nal not more than twice as big as a man's hand, and of which it makes use, not in its defence, but to provoke the eight or ten other journals, some of which have remarkable influence, which are at the disposal of its adversaries." The France says :—" Spain is more than ever given up to riot—to sudden and sanguinary revolutionary agitations. Scarcely has the young QUEEN had time to turn her,eyes away from the barbarous spectacles presented to her by the northern provinces, than she, on arriving at Madrid, has to behold more precious blood flowing from the veins of the citi zens of her capital. Letterswhich have reached us from Madrid are filled with sinister prognostications. At the departure of the mail, alarming reports were in circulation of a new insurrectional movement. It was said that the conspirators were about to attempt something more serious than the last riot. In fine, it was announced that a manifestation was to be made that very evening. Thus menaced daily, hourly, momentarily, the Spanish Government cannot remain much longer under illusion as to the perils of death with which from this time it is surrounded." The National and Courrier Francais write in still stronger terms, and assert, with much truth, that a military Govern ment now oppresses Spain, and retain office against the al most universal wish of the country. The French Court, as well as Cabinet, have much to answer for. The expulsion of EsrAßTEno:and the destruction of the Constitution were ac complished by French money and French intrigue. • In consequence of the unfavourable state of the weather, the KING did not take his usual out-door exercise on Mon day at Eu. The Minister of Marine arrived at the chateau in tha afternoon. On the subject of Marshal BUGEIUD'iI Visit to Marshal SGILT, the Algerie saya " Marshal Bugeand arrived at Soultberg - on the morning of the 9th, and left on the 1 lth. The first interview of the two Marshals was toe long for us to believe that they immediately fell into accord. It lasted from ten in the morning till five in the afternoon. As might be expected, after the last acts of the Governor-General of ♦lgeria, Marshal Itugeand has yielded all the points which were in litigation between him and the Government. We are assured that the Mar shal, Deputy for Excideull, begins to comprehend what every one else is now convinced of—' that his time in Algiers is finished, and that he has done all the good he could do there.' It is only to be re gretted that he did not retire after his campaign of last year."

Within these extraordinary dimensions all the types of animal life in its higher organisation, including beasts as well as the human race, are rare and inferior in the inverse ratio of the inconceivable space allotted to them. So far as regards the races of man, there can be no doubt that this scarcity of ani mals is not only in itself, but in its reaction on the products of the vegetable kingdom, a main cause of the paucity of the native population. In such a state of things it is impossible to estimate too highly the utility of the sheep in supplying the deficient quantum of animal and of vegetable food. To con sume sheep for the sake of their tallow, is to cut off the supply both of the one and of the other at its fountain-head. We are astonished that in an age like this, when not only meats of all . kinds can be so economically and so effectively preserved, both by the older but more expensive, by antiseptic preparations, and by the still more certain , and more largely applicable processes of air- exhaustion and:air-tight packing— but when the victualling of foreign shipping in the Southern and Pacific Ocean is a trade, as lucrative as it is at times, for want of supplies, precarious —the curing or preserving of matter has not proved a main object of colonial ingenuity and patience. If the duty on raw wools in England, and the absurd restrictions on the more extensive depasturing of sheep in Australia by reason of the colonial license system, render the growing of wool a failing specula tion at present, of course the Australian colonist cannot be expected to pursue it. But, in the meantime, there is nothing to prevent him from turning his grazing to bet ter account than by melting down its products. His wools might be warehoused against that better market which every day is more nearly opening for him ; and his carcasses might surely be cured under the application of a little of that energy and cleverness which he has shown in so many other instances—to an extent that would not only, as in Scotland and the north of England, supply the families of the settler with a nutritious article of domestic trade at home (dried mutton, mutton hams, &c.), but furnish the staple of a most lucrative trade with all the shipping which frequent the harbours of Sydney, Port Philip, Adelaide, &c. &c. Redundant millions of sheep might thus, in the course of a very few years, be converted into many scores of thousands of ready money, without extinguishing, in the melting coppers, the principles of capital and subsist ence for as long an interval, in exchange for an inconsider able present return. LATE ACCIDENT at WOOLWICH. INQUEST ON THE BODIES.—(TIIIS DAY.) The adjourned Coroner's inquest on the bodies of the seven suf ferers who perished by the late explosion in the Ros. al Laboratory department of the Royal Arsenal, was resumed this morning at the Mortar Tavern, Woolwich, before C. J. Carttar, Esq., and a highly respectable jury. Mr. J. Colquhoun attended as solicitor on the part of the Board of Ordance. Colonel .-C Cockburn, Lieutolonel .- Dansey, Lieut Colonel Barney, and Mr. Coffin, the heads of the departments in the Royal Arsenal, attended to watch the proceedings, and to give evidence. The witnesses examined were Colonel James Patterson Cockburn, Director of the Royal Labora tory Department; Lieutenant Anthony Oldfleld, of the Royal Artil lery ; Colonel Charles Cornwallis Danny, Fire-master ; Mr. Win. Coffin, the Deputy Storekeeper of the Laboratory; and three of the men employed in the department; but the following summary con tains all that can be gleaned from their evidence as to this unfortunate affair :—lt appeared that the deceased men were employed in breaking up fumes in the shed in which the explosion occurred, which was -not a building specially adapted for this purpose. The part of the floor where the men stood was, however, covered over with hides, and the whole of the floor was saturated with water. The mode of breaking up these fusees, the tools for accomplisbing which were exhibited to the jury, was as follows :—The tube, which is about ten or twelve inches long, is first emptied of the meal powder, which is done by boys. The fusee is then taken to a copper pan, and placed on an iron chisel, when it is struck with a copper knife by means of a wooden mallet, the fusee is thus cleft open, and the composition falls into a pan prepared for that purpose. The question before the jury was, at which end the fusee had been struck? because, if. it was placed in an inverted position, a portion of the meal powder would come in contact with the steel chisel, in which case there was great danger of an explosion. This was the course generally pursued, but Lieutenant Oldfleld, who was accidentally in the shed a few minutes before the explosion, swore distinctly that he observed the men break the fumes in both positions. The men, it appeared, also worked in nailed boots. Two men who had just quitted the shed experienced a very narrow escape, one man being blown off a cart that was loading outside, the other being almost stunned by the explosion. The jury, after a deliberation of nearly an hour, at half-past twelve, delivered the following verdict That the deceased were killed by the explosion of com bustible materials, but from what cause the explosion took place there is no evidence to show." They also accompanied it with the f,llowing note, which the Coroner read to Col. Cockburn, the head of the department :—" That the jury in returning this verdict in the case of John Crake, beg to state, that without imputing any want of caution to the authorities in directing the mode of carrying on the work which the deceased was engaged in, at the same time submit for their consideration the propriety of discon tinuing the use of the steel chisel, and adopting, as formerly, the copper knife ; and also, that the men ought not to be allowed to work at such employment in nailed shoes or boots." Col. Cockburn said, he intended in fixture to extract the saltpetre by means of water, so as to avoid all chance of danger. The Anti-Slavery Society has issued a very small publica- tion, but one comprehending many facts of great importance, entitled " Results of Emancipation in the British Colonies." It will be read with delight by every friend of hu manity, and the people of this country who, even before the experiment was made, never grudged the amount, will now rejoice that 20,000,000/. were ex pended for such a purpose. This grant for a bene ficent object, for the relief of the oppressed, as well as an inducement to secure kind treatment from their former masters, has no parallel in the history of any state, and has gained for these islands a character for generosity and philanthropy which neither malice nor national anti pathies ever dare to gainsay. And while we p•aise the British nation, it is only an act of justice to pay the same tribute to the objects of its benevolence, who have shown themselves worthy of the favour. In 1831, the West India body issued a manifesto, in which they stated, that " the speedy annihilation of slavery would be attended with the devastation of the West India colonies—with loss of lives and property to the white inhabitants—with inevitable distress and misery to the black population—and with a fatal shock to the commercial credit of the empire." To show how the prophecy has failed, we quote a paragraph from the pamphlet :—" In no one particular has this sinister prediction been fulfilled. The transition from slavery to freedom was most tranquil—not a single proprietor or white man was injured, either in per son or property ; the emancipated slaves have derived the greatest benefits from that act of justice ; the credit of the West Indies is better now than during the exist ence of slavery ; and the commercial intercourse between Great Britain and the Colonies, has been, in every respect, improved by its abolition. Individuals may have suffered, and may still be suffering from this great event; but REGISTRATIONS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY OF LONDON. The question whether liverymen who had taken up their freedom since the passing of the Reform Act, to which we referred on Monday, was this day resumed. The whole of the forenoon was taken up by technical arguments respecting the construction of the Act of Par liament. At the termination of the Learned Gentlemen's addresses, pro and eon., The REVISING BARRISTER intimated that as the decision was one of some importance, he would take time to consider it, and give his judgment on a future day. the great mass of the population, the proprietors as well as the labourers, have derived. the highest advantage f rom it. The safety, and we may add the policy of emancipation has been demonstrated." And Lord STANLEY, many years after this great act of justice and mercy took place, confirms the statement. "It will be found," said he, " that since the emancipation the negroes have been thriving and contented ; that they have raised their manner of living, and multiplied their comforts and enjoyments ; that their offences against the laws have become more and more light and unfrequent ; that their morals have unproved; that marriage has been more and more substituted for concu binage ; and that they are eager for education, rapidly ad vancing in knowledge, and powerfully influenced by the mi nisters of religion." These are facts which cannot be dis puted, nor can the following picture of the precious results of emancipation be denied:— " The whip no longer sounds in their ears, as the stimulant to labour and the instrument of torture ; the fetter no longer galls their limbs ; the market-place no longer beholds them submitted for sale, in lots to suit purchasers ; the anguish of forcible separation is no longer felt or feared ; instruction is no longer interdicted ; the preaching of the Gospel is no longer forbidden. Masters of their own persons and their own labour, the emancipated slaves can now bestow it when and where they please, as may best suit their taste, or serve their inte rests—the marriage-tie hallows and blesses their unions—the rela tions of parents and children exist, and cannot be severed by the caprice or will of slave-masters—the chastity of woman can no longer be violated with impunity, nor the hearts of mothers lacerated by the base and degraded uses to which their offspring were devoted." At the recent Congress at Rheins of the Scientific Men of France M. Jullien de Paris presented Mr. Morgan's plan of a Self-supporting Institution for 300 families. The observations of M. Jullien de Paris, as well as the acknowledegment by the President, the Archbishop; were received with loud applauses, and prove that the condition of the people is exciting a great interest In that country as well as in our own. DEATH OF P. GREENALL, ESQ., M.P.--WIGAN, SEPT. 18.—This highly respectable gentleman expired at half-past one o'clock to-day, at his residence in St. Helen's. Mr. Greenall was the Conservative Member for the borough of Wigan, to which he was elected at the last genaral election in conjunction with Mr. T. B.

Mr. Greenall was held in the highest estimation by all parties in this neighbourhood of all politics, and his loss will be most severely felt in his immediate neighbourhood, being the proprietor of very extensive manufactories. DRURY- LANE TUEATRE.—It is DOW officially an nounced that this theatre will be opened on Saturday, the 27th inst. As before, under the present management, it will be devoted exclu sively to opera and ballet. The female vocalists will be Madame Anna Thillon, Miss Romer, Miss Rainforth, Miss Poole, the cele brated, and yet unheard, 31 ademoiselle Jenny Lind, and a debutante, Miss Helen Lane. Mr. Allen is engaged as a tenor in addition to Mr. W. Harrison, while the " bass and baritone" department gets a rein forcement by the engagement of Mr. 11. Phillips, who will appear in addition to Messrs. Burdini, Borrani, and Weiss. At the head of the ballet department stands the excellent danseuse Mademoiselle Adele Dumilatre. Her name is fo , lowed by those of Mademoiselle Flora Fehr!, a lady yet unknown to the English public, and the favourite artist, Mademoiselle Plunkett. M. Schira is to be the conductor of the orchestra. A new opera by Mr. Benedict, and another by Mr. Wallace, are mentioned among the forthcoming novelties. Meyer beer's Camp of .Silesia, produced last year in Germany, is to be per formed ; and Mr. Bunn speaks in his programme of "pending trea ties" with MM. Scribe and Donizetti for a new grand opera. M. St. Georges and M. Albert are to unite in the construction of a new ballet called La Title de Marbre, with Adolphe Adam's music, and the Parisian ballet Le Diable a quatre is to be performed. The pro gramme certainly indicates great spirit and enterprise, and the manager seems to have engaged all the available talent for the pur , poses to which he has devoted his theatre. A stronger c ompany is, we believe, at the present day, impossible.—Times. • RAILWAY COLLISION.—WAKEFIELD, rSEPT. 18.- A collision took place yesterday at the Oakenshaw Station on the 31idland /tailway, but fortunately no serious injury to the pas sengers was sustained. The train from Leeds to Derby, which was due at half-past 10 A. M., did not arrive until 20 minutes after its time, and there being a great number of passengers going from Oakenshaw to Swinton (Doncaster) station on account of the races, at least 20 minutes more elapsed without any immediate appearance of moving on. At this moment the train from Hull came up, following on the same line of rails, and dashed into the carriages of the Derby train. Most providentially several of the other carriages of the Derby train had been drawn back from the main body to admit of others being placed intermediate. These carriages received the blow; but having some space to be driven forward before they struck the other portion of the train, the severity of the collision was ma terially checked. However, the shock in the carriages most re moved was severely felt. The Hull train, moreover, was slackening its speed to stop at the station. Had it been the express instead of the Hull train which was to follow shortly afterwards, and which does not stop at Oakenshaw, but dashes through like a flash of lightning, every soul must have perished. As it was, several persons sustained severe cuts and bruises, and the greatest alarm was occa sioned to all. Prince George of Cambridge was in his own carriage, o if f h t e he ha H d ull not tr b itn n , k s ill o t e h d a , t ha n d e w o md o certainly k have th su e ff e er x e tr d e s m e v e e r e e n l y d , the concussion been more violent.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. _ There was a dull market for Cotton at Liverpool yester- day, but previous quotations were obtained. Sales, about 7,000 bags, including 1,500 American, on speculation. The market was very freely supplied.—A good business was done in shares. _ At an early hour this morning the arrival off port of the Severn steamer from the West Indies was announced, but up to the present hour we have not had any letters or papers delivered. There are some later accounts from Brazil, but nothing of interest is to be noticed in them. " A short and sure Guide to Railway speculation" has just been published, a copy of which is before us, by Effingham Wilson. The author says that operations in railway shares are of three kinds—i. e : ,— " First. Purchases in the shares of lines already esta blished. " Second. Purchases in the scrip of lines projected, or in the course of construction. " Third. Application for original shares in newly-pro jected lines." For the information of the public, we may usefully quote the following : " Purchases of Scrip in projected or unfinished lines can only be made with safety under good information and ad vice as to their immediate or ultimate prospects ; and not even then unless the buyer is prepared to pay the whole of the calls. For example, a single call of 5/. may have been made upon a 501. share, and it may be at a premium of 2/. In buying 20 of these shares at 7L each (Si. paid and 2/. premium), it is not sufficient to be able to pay the 1401. which they would first cost ; the buyer must also be prepared or see his way clearly) to pay the remain ing 9001. if necessary. Unless so prepared there is no safety in railway speculation. " A call may be made at a moment when prices have fallen, and, if unprepared to pay it, the unfortunate holder must sell, however great may be the sacrifice; but if his en gagements are not beyond his means of meeting them, he has only to hold on steadily, and sooner or later (unless the line was a mere bubble) he will have an opportunity of selling at a profit. By adhering to this one rule, the writer of these remarks (who is a mere amateur in railway speculation) has during ten years, never sold a single share at a loss. He has held shares upon which he had paid 401. each, till they gradually fell to 20/., and has sold them at last at 741. One of the best times for purchasing in unfinished lines is when prices are depressed, as they often will be, in consequence of previous holders finding it inconvenient to pay their calls." Consols for the Account have been quoted at 98% to-day, and for Money at 984 %. The premium on Exchequer bills is 465. Not half a dozen bargains were quoted in the English Funds to-day. A slight demand has existed for the Equador Bonds to day, at an improvement to 4%. The quotations of the Dutch Stocks were rather higher. The other Stocks are, fur the most part, nominally given. With very few exceptions, the Railway Share Market has been firm to-day. As the fluctuations are given in the offi cial list, it is not necessary to refer further here. 13R1T1SH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK►. (From the Official List.) 3 per Cent.

The accounts received from the Northern districts, in reverence to the progress making in harvest work, not being very satisfactory, and the arrivals of Wheat of home produce fresh up being small, com pared with those of many previous we.sks, we have to report a de cided improvement in the demand for that deseription of grain, at an advance In the currencies obtained on Monday last, of from Is to 2s per quarter, and at which nearly the whole of the supply was dis posed of. There was more activity in the sale for fine Foreign Wheat, at an improvement of from is to 2s per quarter, with every prospect of a still further advance. The duty on foreign Wheat remaining stationary, very few parcels have been, as yet, entered for home consumption. Several orders having been again received from Holland and Belgium, holders of Wheat under lock were firm, at an advance in prices from 2s to 3s per quarter. There was no new Barley at market. Grinding and distilling sorts were quite as dear ' • but malting kinds commanded very little attention. For Malt we had more inquiry, at a slight im provement in value, but the amount of business doing was not large. Both Beans and Peas commanded a ready sale, at an improvement of from is to 2s per quarter. Although the supply of Irish Oats was on the increase, the Oat trade was firm, at 6d per quarter more money. ARRIVALS. Barley. 280 qrs. - I 640 2,020 I 520 Malt. 2,290 qrs. Wheat. 3,140 qrs.

Notwithstanding the supply of Beasts on sale was very moderate, the Beef trade was in a depressed state, and Monday's prices were with difficulty supported. We had on offer 70 Oxen and Cows, 140 Sheep, and 7 Calves from Holland, in fair condition. The numbers of Sheep were small, owing to which the Mutton trade was steady, at full prices. The same observations may be applied to Lambs. Calves were in short supply and active request, at an advance of 2d per 81bs. Pigs steady, at late rates. Mikh Cows moved off slowly, at from 161 to 191 each. Suckling Calves, 188 to 30s ; and Quarter old store Pigs, 16s to 20s each.

John Dale, aged 15, pleaded guilty to robbing his employers, Messrs. A. Lloydd and Co., of twenty sovereigns, and other monies. The COMMON-SERGEANT said that It was necessary that an example should be made where servants robbed their masters. He was sorry to say that the crime was largely on the increase. The prisoner was sentenced to be transported for ten years. Thomas Green, aged 20, a labourer, was indicted for stealing 3,000 paper bags. Edward Brenock, of Paddington, stated that the prisoner was in his service in August last. Soon after he left his employment he took the property mentioned, without his order, to Mr. Hunter, and re ceived the money for the bags, amounting to 17s. Elizabeth Hunter stated that the prisoner brought the bags, alleg ing that he haci been sent by his master. He received the money and signed the receipt. The prisoner was found Guilty, and sentenced to be imprisoned for twelve months. The prisoner, in the most impudent manner said, " I would rather you would transport me at once." (Before Mr. Justice WIGIITMAN and Mr. Justice ERLE.) RAILWAY ROBBERY.—Charles Maynard, an agent, was indicted for feloniously receiving a writing case and 10 sovereign of Vaughan Prance, knowing the same to be stolen. Mr. BALLANTINE, on the part of the prisoner, moved that the trial might be postpened till next session. Mr. CLARKSON, for the prosecution, did not offer any objection, and the trial was accordingly postponed. FORGERY.. Charies Launder, a surveyor, was charged with having feloniously forged a deed with intent to defraud John Laurie and others. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Ballantine were for the prosecution ; Mr. Parry was for the defence. Mr. Ctiatasox stated the case. The prisoner was charged with having forged the name of a highly respectable gentleman, Mr. De Lisle, to a deed of agreement with the South Midland or Nor thampton and Leicester Railway Company. The Company had issued their prospectus in the usual way, and as application was made by the prisoner under the signature of Mr. De Lisle for fifty shares; twenty-dve shares were afterwards allotted to him. soon after the prisoner presented himself at the office of the Company, and signed the deed in the name of Ferdinand De Lisle, and he then described himself as a merchant residing at Russell House, Balham. It would he shown that Russell House was occupied by a man named Shaw and his wife, and that letters were addressed to him there under the name he had for the time assumed. Mr. Clarkson then called witnesses. George Brown, Secretary to the South Midland Company, said that on the 19th July he received a letter of application for 50 shares. The letter was signed Ferdinand de Lisle, and referred to Messrs. Hankey as vouchers for his respectability. Twenty-five shares were allotted. The prisoner afterwards came to the office and signed the subscribers' deed. Henry Stanley stated that he was the attesting witness to the deed and ths prisoner was the man who signed it. After the signature of Ferdinand de Lisle had been affixed, the scrip was handed over to him. Charles Shaw said that he was, in the absence of the proprietor, in charge of Russell House, and the prisoner was in the habit of re ceiving letters addressed to him as ➢lr. Ferdinand de Lisle. Mrs: Shaw corroborated her husband's evidence. Mr. Scruday, Secretary to the Isle of Jersey Railway Company, said that the prisoner was introduced to him as Mr. de Lisle, and afterwards he signed the deed in the name of that gentleman. Mr. De Lisle, merchant and banker, tin:l6, Devonshire-place, said that the prisoner was unknown to him. The signature to the deed was not in his (witness's) hand-writing, and he had not authorised any other persons to sign for him. Francis Morris, police-constable, said, that when he apprehended the prisoner, he said that he was not aware that he was doing any thing wrong, for he knew many persons who obtained railway shares in a similar manner. The deed itself was then read to the Court. This closed the case for the prosecution. Mr. PARRY submitted that there was no case for the jury, on the ground that the deed, as the Company might not yet be considered in existence, was not a perfect instrument. The objection was, however, overruled. The Learned COUNSEL then addressed the jury, who, after a summing up by Mr. Justice Wightman, returned a verdict of Guilty ; but they recommended him to mercy on the ground that he was ap parently an instrument in the hands of other parties, and because there had not been sufficient care taken by the Railway Company. Mr. Justice WIOUTMAN then passed sentence. The whole of the forgery exhibited the utmost art and deliberation, and he could see nothing in the circumstances to warrant any mitigation of punish ment ; but, in consequence of the recommendation of the jury, the sentence would not be so severe as it might otherwise be. The sen t tence was, that he be transported for seven years. THE FATAL ACCIDENTS ON THE BRISTOL AND BIRMINGHAM LINE. DEFFORD, THITZSDAY.—The inquest was not brought to a close yesterday evening, as was expected. The only witnesses examined yesterday afternoon were Mr. Sanders. Secretary to the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, and Mr. M'Connell. The latter merely bore testimony to the good character of Baird, and the former gave some explanations relative to his previous evidence. The proceed ings re-commenced this morning, about htlf-past ten. John Murphy, porter of the Defford station, and the man who placed the fatal truck on the line, re-called, and examined by Mr. Nott—l did say in my evidence that I have known trains pass with out stopping, but It was not my duty to report them ; if I were to say that it has happened many times I should say more than I know. I should not think ten times ; sometimes they have slackened their speed and told us they had their load. Mr. Dore has grumbled, and said he would report them ; ho has told me he had reported them, and that he bad received no answer. I cannot say if any inquiry has been made at the Defford station into the truth of such reports ; my duty is so different from Mr. pore's that I am not likely to know these things. Ido not know any particular driver who had passed. I really don't know if the same driver has passed twice. The CORONER —The fact is, I think, you won't know. Witness —lf you knew my duty, Sir, you would not think so. It was Ward whose name I did not know till he was killed. The night of the accident I did not signal any train, but as' I was moving the truck I held the red light in my hand towards Eckington.—(The lamp was here exhibited, and changed in a moment from red to white, and vice versa.) , Examination resumed—When I ran up the bank after the accident my light was red, but when I came down to assist of course it was white, as I could not see with the red. We have two of these lights at the station. Directly I got down the bank I saw Shaw with a light in his hand ; it was white then, but red before the accident I know, because I trimmed and turned it for him. After the accident I saw Mr. Davis's lamp in the shed, and went and fetched it for him. CORONEA—I asked that question, gentlemen, to explain what Bromage said yesterday, as he said he saw a light in the shed. Cross-examined—The other good light was Mr. Dore's. The damaged one, on the night of the accident, was on the counter in the office. I saw a red light that night on the platform on the station side, a few minutes before the accident. I saw Mr. Dore leave it there. He then expected a train, and I believe he went in to book passengers. It is almost impossible to think, In a few moments, what occurred on that night, but I think I did not see, before the accident, a red light on the opposite platform. When under the shed my back was towards Worcester and my red light towards Eckington. Two or three jurors here observed that they did "rot see the use of putting such trifling questions; many had been answered before ; they led to nothing, except to the waste of time. After the exami nation of B. Taylor, Mr. George Whateley, solicitor to the Company, addressed the jury at considerable length. The CORONER summed up, and the jury, having retired to consider their verdict, were locked up until nearly eight o'clock, at which hour the Court was re-opened, when the officials of the Company, and other parties interested, having assembled, The CORONER (addreiising the foreman) inquired whether the jury had agreed to their verdict ? The foreman replied in the affirmative, and proceeded to read, from a written document, the following special verdict : "We And that the deceased, Joseph Ward, died from injuries caused by the accidental collision of a special goods train with a cer tain truck placed of the Bristol and Birmingham Railway, at Def ford, on the night of the 30th of August, 1845 ; and that the engine, No. 75, belonging to the Company of that railway, moved to the death of the deceased (Joseph Ward). We find that its value Is 1,5001., and we make a deodand, of the same engine, to the amount of 1,5001. " In delivering this verdict the jury wish to express their opinion that the rules and regulation.: of the Bristol and Birmingham Rail way Company, for the guidance of their servants, have been carried out very inefficiently for some time past ; and, further, the jury con skier that the cramped state of the premises at the Defford station for traffic calls for an additional siding' for the safety of the public, as well as for loading and unloading goods." Mr. Whateley said he received the verdict with all respect; but his advice to the Company would be to resist the deodand to the utmost. If the Company could feel that they were to blame, they would gladly pay tcn times the amount. The verdict was very nearly unanimous.. Seventeen of the jury were for a deodand of 1,500/., and the remaining six for one of 1,0001. The verdict on Miles Is simply one of " Accidental death." On Wednesday the friends of Sir James E. Ten n ent gave him a farewell dinner at Lovegrove's. The Irish Society of London took the initiative in this mark of respect to its founder, and a splendid dessert service, value 700 guineas, was presented by his fellow-countrymen to the new Secretary for Ceylon, Sergeant Murphy, M.P., presided, Dr. Croly filling the vice-chair. Dwarkanauth Tagore, the Indian Prince-banker, graced the meeting, which numbered many distinguished artists, merchants, and literary cha racters. Au admirable address was read by R. Bell, Esq., and feel ingly acknowledged by the distinguished guest. POST-OFFICE FACILITIES.--Henceforward the mails for New Grenada will be made up and dispatched from London on the morning of the 2d as well as 17th of each month, to be forwarded from Southampton by the royal mail steam-packets, the Government of New Grenada having engaged to provide a small vessel of war for their conveyance from Port Royal, Jamaica, to Santa Martha. Letters, however, addressed to the Isthmus of Panama, on the south coast of the Pacific, will be forwarded by the mail of the 2d of the month, unless directed via Santa Martha. TROTTING IN HARNESS.—Yesterday a match to trot in harness two miles for 11. aside came off near Tottenham cross, between two horses, belonging to Messrs. Wilkins and Roe, of the City. They were driven by their respective owners, Roe taking the lead, and maintaining it for the first mile, which was trotted in three minutes and thirty-two seconds ; they kept on at a steady pace the next half mile, when they were alongside each other, and the race then commenced. Roe sprung his horse, which immediately broke out to a gallop, and was pulled In and turned ; hio- opponent then had the race in his own hands, and went in the winner by a hundred and fifty yards. The two miles were accomplished in seven minutes and six seconds SAFETY DOOR CHECK TO RAILWAY CARRIAGES.- There have been lately some narrow escapes owing to the doors of railway carriages flying open, when leaned against, in consequence of defects in the locks which fasten them. In the carriages on the Hague and Rotterdam Railway, as we have had occasion to witness, this is entirely prevented by very simple means. In addition to the usual lock, each door is provided with a stout bolt or lever working on a joint, which when the door is closed, drops into a,socket attached to the doonfacing. This simple apparatus provides an almost certain preventative against accidents from the cause we have mentioned, and ought, therefore, to be adopted on all railways. Scottish Rail way Gazette. BARNET AND NORTH METROPOLITAN JUN CTION RAILWAY.—We are glad to find that Barnet, once the most cele brated posting town around London, and which has suffered so much from ralway . s, has now a fair prospeet of compensation. A direct railway communication between the northern districts of the metropolis and Barnet has been proposed by influential parties, and has met with very general support, more especially from the inhabitants of that town. In fact, it is the only chance of saving it from ruin. The line will proceed beyond the range of the Higkgate and Hampste,d hills, through a populous dls • trict, and out ot the range of the metropolitan omnibuses, and connect Barnet not only with London and the various railways south of the Thames, but also with the numerous towns and villages that lie to the north of London. According to the engineers' report there are no engineering difficulties throughout the entire distance. DEATH OF THE HON. LIEUT. P.

BarssELLs, SEPT. 16.—The Chamber met to-day according to the decree of the ith of September. The Minister of Finance communicated to the Chamber of Representatives, a project of law for converting the decree of the sth of September into a law, to permit the free importation of corn and other articles till the Ist of June, 1846, and to prohibit till the same time, the exportation of those articles. The Committee for examining the validity of the elections of the new Members were chosen by ballot. The Committee proposed the admission of the new Member, who took their oaths. The same operation was performed by Senate. Baron Schorvel was elected President. Baron d'Anethan, till Minister Justice, and General Dupent, the Minister of War, were introduced, but no com munication was made from the Government, only the Minister of Justice announced that there would be Divine service in the Church of St. Gudule, on the 23d of this month, at ten o'clock, in the morning, in memory of the citizens who fell in defending the national independence. In case the Senate desired to attend in a body, a military escort would be given. _ _ The Senate decided that it would attend in a body. The Senate then adjourned till Monday, to discuss the project of law.to be presented by the Government to the Chamber of Repre sentatives. The King presided in the Council of Ministers, NORWICH FESTIVAL. Noawicm, SIFT. 18.—On Wednesday morning, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, St. Andrew's Hall was crowded with a gay and brilliant throng, who appeared to wait with anxiety for the commencement of the performances, which took place exactly at eleven o'clock. Weber's "Hymn," with which the performances commenced, opens with a few solemn bars in which the double diapa sons of the organ were heard with great effect. A charming quartet, "At his command re turning Spring " (Miss Dolby, Miss Poole, Mr. Hawkins, and Mr. Machin), was sung with good taste. It concludes with a few bars of chorus, on the words " The summer suns their radiance fling," which had a good effect. A bass recitative, " Behold, God is great," was most impressively delivered by Staudigl, who, in the words " Ye sons of men, your Maker's praise declare," gave full vent to the tones of his noble voice. A chorale "In peace your souls possessing," was most beautifully sung by Miss Dolby, Miss Poole, Mr. Hobbs, and Mr. Hewkins. This chorale, a solemn devotional air, gave a good idea of the majestic simplicity of that form of ecclesiastical music, and was most impressively delivered, the voices of the singers being ad mirably sustained by the organ. Another noble quartet and chorus, " Jehovah reigns, he dwells in light," followed, which was charm ingly sung by the vocalists already mentioned. This concluded The Hymn," which is In every way worthy the name of Weber. A selection from the " Stabat Mater " of Rossini was then per formed, a composition which, though too theatrical in its form for the Protestant Church, independent of the ancient hymn to which it is adapted, contains many passages purely devotional. The duet " Cujus animama " was admirably sung by Grist and Miss Dolby ; and Staudigl was steady and impressive in " Pro peccatis." Grist was splendid in the " Intlammatus." The unaccompanied " Quando corpus," by Grist, Miss Dolby, Mario, and F. Lablache, was exquisitely given. The chorusees could not have better sung, and the lovely instrumentation of Rossini was finely executed. The Seasons formed the second, and third part of the morning's per formance. The principal vocalists were Madame Caradori Allan, Miss Poole, Hobbs, Hawkins, Machin, and Herr Staudigl, who sang the music allotted to them with every excellence. The second concert, on Wednesday evening, was numerously at tended. The scheme included an entire act of Don Giovanni, and a miscellaneous selection. The former went off, on the whole, flatly, though Mario's inimitable singing of " Ii mlo tesoro," and the exqui site style in which the little trio in the finale to act 1, between Donna Anna (Madame Grisi), Donna Elvira (Miss Poole), and Don Ottavio (Mario) was given, procured an encore of those two pieces. In " Batti, batti," Lindley's violoncello obligato divided the applause with Cara dori's singing. There were some gems in the second part. Beethoven's symphony in A was very well played. Madame Grist sang gloriously in Di Piacer, and was encored. So was Staudigl, in " Ruddier than the cherry," and Miss Dolby in a Jacobite air, "Come off the Moors," when she substituted " Come over to Charlie." Grisi, Mario, F. Lablache, and Staudigl, were encored in " A te, o Cara," which was splendidly sung, and, but for the late hour, the duet, "Per Piacer alla Signora," would have shared the same fate ; it was charmingly sung by Caradori and F. Lablache. There is now no doubt of the success of the festival. The last left a handsome surplus ; and this year the number which attended the Hall during Tuesday and yesterday has exceeded that of the first and second days of the last festival by 500 persons. DEATH OF MR. DAVIS.—DuBLIN, TUESDAY.—Mr. Davis, one of the principal contribntors to the Nation, died this morning. He was under thirty years of age, and held a very re spectable position at the bar. Mr. Davis was one of the very few Protestants who allied themselves to Mr. O'Connell's Repeal Asso ciation. He was for some time the " Liberator's" pride and boast, for on the so-called subject of " Irish Nationality," Mr. Davis, like the other young Irelanders, conceived any means justified to obtain the mysterious object. But Mr. Davis, of late, bad fallen into bad odour with the gentry of the Intimidation Hall, because he dared to resist their assaults upon the Bequests Bill, and also, at a later date, the new colleges. He dared to object to the cry of the old and young Libe rators, and Dr. 3Pllale and Dillon Browne, for exclusive Catholic colleges. Mr. Davis carried with him all " that was worth possess ing" of public opinion on these questions, and it is said it was a mooted point with the Committee of the Repeal Association, whether Mr. Davis and the other members of" Young Ireland" should not be openly denounced as advocates of infidelity. Latterly we miss this party altogether from the weekly meetings, and the press in the in terest of the Repeal Association are workilig their best to injure it and the Nation paper. Mr. Davis was the author of some of the most remarkable revolutionary articles which have appeared in the Nation, and while we may protest against his opinions and his deeds, it must be conceded in Dublin, where he was well known, that he was a highly honourable and talented man. Apropos of the Nation— a new paper entitled Old Ireland is to appear immediately, under the patronage of the O'Connells, and in opposition to the Nation. THE RAILWAY KlNG.—This distinguished gentle man, 'who has been sojourning at Whitburn, has kindly promised the Society of Antiquaries, Newcastle, that whatever antiquities may be discovered in the construction of the Newcastle and Berwick Rail way, they shall be added (duplicates excepted) to the stores of that institution.:-Tvne Mercury. LATE JOHN STEVENSON SALT, ESQ.—This wealthy banker of London and Stafford has left a large family, and by his will, executed in 1839, he has made an equal distribution of his pro perty among them. The personal estate alone realises in value 160,0001. The executors are his widow and sons, Thomas, John, William, and Joseph. To his wife he leaves the Biana estate, with all property in which she had an interest, vested or reversionary. To his son, the Rev. Joseph Salt, he has given the rectory of Stan don, which he had lately purchased. To his other sons separate free holds, with about two hundred acres to each. To his four daughters portions of other estates. The residue of his real, estate he leaves to his wife. To his eldest son the banking business at Stafford, and to his sons John, William, and George, the business in Lombard-street. Bequeaths legacies to his grandchildren and others of his family, and to his servants. To the Stafford Infirmary, 2001. ; North Stafford, 100/. ; Society for the Widows and Orphans of Clergy, 1001., and one or twe other charitable institutions in Stafford a like bequest ; to the poor of Standon, 501. ; St. Mary's, 301.

SHOWER OF SNAlLS.—During the storm which passed over this neighbourhood on Sunday afternoon, a large quan tity of snails fell on the grounds of Captain St. Clair, at Staverton. The gallant Captain has kindly furnished us with a number of the in sects, which may be:seen at our office. He states that some of his grounds were literally covered with these curious visitors from the upper regions. —Cheltenham Examiner. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—ScarceIy a week passes without some new addition to the already unequalled collection of scientific inventions which are to be found in the mu seum of this noble institution. The last practical introduction is the illustration of a useful, and at the same time healthful, recreation-- viz., the art of swimming, which is daily shown in the tank of water (in which all aquatic experiments are conducted) by a little fellow only eight and a half years of age, whose wonderful feats on the sur face and under water induce one to believe that he belongs to an am phi bious race rather than to mother earth. It is really an interesting sight to see this little diver plunge from the top of the diving-bell to the bottom of the water, and bring up :alleles purposely sunk. Among the articles illustrative of the arts is one to which the atten tion should be directed, as shelving that nature may be all but rivalled by art; we refer to the weaving of hair, and could be scarcely dissuaded from the belief that the artificial head there seen is not of Nature's handiwork. The lectures on chemistry, natural Philosophy, and other scientific subjects, are still continued by Dr. Backhoffner, and his numerous audience seem to be highly delighted by his manner of delivery.
