MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. The Court met yesterday for the purpose of receiving the annual returns of the overseers, &c., of the different parishes in the county of the rentals of their respective districts., Mr. Whiskin was in the chair ; there were also pre sent Mr. Freshfield and Mr. B. Hall. ST. PANCRAS PARISH. The first return that gave rise to any observation was that of the parochial authorities of St. Pancras, who re turned 535,400/. as the amount of their rental ; the re turn they made last year was 582,0001. As a matter of course, they were called upon to account for the de ficiency. Mr. FRESHFIELD said, the return now presented gave the net rateable value of the property of the parish at 50,000/. less than the return made last year, and the Court would wish to know how the very great difference between the two returns was accounted for. The Vestry-Clerk, in reply, said that it arose partly from an over calculation of the property of the London and Birmingham Railway, and partly from a revision of the parish rental, which had since been made by order of the vestry, who considered that the parish had been too highly assessed iu comparison with other parishes in the county. Mr. FRESHFIELD then inquired en what principle the vestry had made their valuation. The Vestry-Clerk said, that '25 per cent. had been deducted from the gross estimated rer.tal, and allowed for repairs, &c. FRESHFIELD said, that the only deduction which the law sanctioned from the gross estimated rental, viz, the rent at which tl e property might reasonably be ex pected to let, was the average annual cost for- repairs necessary to maintain the premises and command such rent, and pay the insurance, and that a deduction of a per tentage applying equally to a newly built house and one out of repair was illegal. The Vestry-Clerk explained, at some length, the principle on which the return had been made. The Overseer of Kensington said, he had felt it his duty on former occasions to call the attention of the court to the unfair manner in which the returns of St. Pancras and other parishes bad been made out; the result of which was that they paid less than their share of the county-rate, while other parishes, who made a fair and prover return of their rentals, were compelled to pay mor.- in proportion than they ought to do. Mr. FRESHFIELD said, there could be no doubt that if it could be proved that any one parish in the county war assessed at a less amount than it ought to be, that would form a sufficient ground of appeal against the county rate generally for any other parish ; and then, address ing the authorities of St. Pancras parish, he asked, whether, after having had their attention drawn to the subject, they would still swear to the statement which they had handed in to the Court ? He would, at the same time, inform them that such statement would not finally close the question, for by an Act passed during the last session of Parliament (the County-Rates Act), the Court of Quarter Ses,ions was empowered to appoint a committee to survey any particular parish they might think proper. That committee would make their report to the ecurt, and the pir ies might if they pleased ap peal to the Court against their decision. 'The parish officers said, they would pers'st in the re turn which they had made. Mr. FRESHFIELD—Then you must take the conse quences. The return was then received, and sworn to in the usual form. LIMEHOUSE. There was a considerable decrease in the rentsls of this parish, which the authorities accounted for by stat ing that a great number of houses had been pulled down to carry out the improvements contemplated in forming spacious streets leading to the docks, &c., and that until those improvements were completed the site of them would not yield any rent whatever. This explanation was deomtd satisfactory. The sever,4l other parish returns which were pre sented contained nothing of public interest, and there fore did not call for any remark from the Court. But it appeared from the result of the day's proceedings, that the rental of the county had considerably increased during the past year, to the amount, it was conjectured, of nearly 200,0001. Owing to the new and excellent arrangements of Mr. Allen, the county treasurer, the above business, which formerly occupied the Court two days, was disposed of in as many hours. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BO IV-STREET. Yesterday a dark featured, middle-aged man, described as John Cone tick Clinton, merchant, of Somerset-street, Whitechapel, was brought before Mr. Hall, on a warrant granted by his Worship, under the Act of Treaty be tween her Majesty and the United States of America, for " giving up criminals fugitive from justice," &c., charged with being concerned in the forgery by which the Messrs. Little and Co., bankers and stockbrokers, of New York, were defrauded of 23,009,,Mexican dollars, iu April, 1841. The prisoner, it may be remembered, was apprehended on the same charge upon the warrant of the Foreign Secretary of State, and taken before Mr. Jardine on precisely the same day (October 6), in 1843. On that occasion he was discharged on two grounds—it being the opinion of his Worship, in the first place, that the clause in the Treaty Act passed in 1842, which directed that " copies" of the depositions taken in America should be produced, had not been complied with, the " original' depositions having been forwarded instead ; and, in the second place, that the magistrate, not having been pre viuusly applied to for a warrant for the apprehension of the prisoner (as the Act directed), had no authority in the case. From that time to the present, it appears, no further steps bad been taken. A Bill amending the original Act had received the sanction of the two States. and on Sunday last the prisoner was again taken into custody by Inspector Haynes, the warrant having been granted by Mr. Hall the same morning. Mr. Mullins, of the firm of Bush and Mullins, attended for the prosecutors, and Mr. Sheard, from Mr. Parker's office, for the prisoner. Mr. Sheard said, he had only just received informa tion of the prisoner's apprehension, and begged for a short remand to enable him to have the assistance of Mr. Chambers, who defended the prisoner on the last occa sion. There were other important reasons why a re mand would be essential to the prisoner, who required time to produce witnesses. c. HALL felt bound to proceed with as little delay as pess.ble, and certainly without contemplating the neces sity for a remand. Mr. Sheard said, material objections would be raised, on the prisoner's behalf, to the application of the Treaty Acts, passed after the alleged offence, to his ease. Mr. Chambers, who had urged these points on a former oc• casion, should therefore, in justice to the prisoner, have an opportunity of being present. Mr. HALL had no objection to wait a short time, until Mr. Chambers had been sent for. At the expiration of about an hour Mr. Sheard re turned with Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, with whom he was in consultation on the bench, when Mr. M. Cham bers, Q.C., who had been previously retained by Bush and Mulins for the prosecution, arrived to conduct the case fur his new clients and former adversaries. This circumstance appeared to astonish Mr. Sheard, who had calculated upon the co-operation of the Learned Counsel by whose advocacy the prisoner gained his ac• quittal on the last occasion. Mr. M. Chambers briefly stated the case, which was one of considerable national importance. He alluded to the Treaty Act of August,lB42, and also to the subsequent Bill to amend the same, the latter of which merely re moved some of the difficulties which had been experi enced in the operation of the former one, and in conse quence of which the prisoner was discharged when taken before Mr. Jardine in 1842, on a charge arising out of the same transaction. No question could now arise upon the subject, as the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs had certified that the requisitions of those Acts bad been fully complied with. It would be the duty of the magistrate, therefore, simply to act upon the writt en and oral testimony which would be submitted to his judgment regarding the prisoner, as he would an ordi nary person who had been apprehended within his own jurisdiction. The difference could be only in the issue of the case—the prisoner at the bar being sent to take Vs trial before the tribunals of another country, instead f being tried by our own. Mr. Clarkson applied fur the immediate remand of the risoner, who hal been apprehended under the most ex aordinary circumstances. In the year 1843 (and be s cold call upon his friend, Mr. Chambers, who was then the advocate of the man whom he now opposed, to con fine what he stated), the same parties were in motion gainst the prisoner, who, after being kept in prison irom June to October, was discharged by the magis trate because they failed in making out a case against him. He had been ever since a resident in England, and if any evidence, got up in another country in his absence, were to be admitted. against him, it would be o more than sheer justice to allow him copies of the veposit:ons, and an opportunity, if he required it, of meeting the charges by counter -testimony. What was the present position of the prisoner ? The prosecutors ]-ad laid their hands upon 2,0001., or thereabouts, depo sited in the Union Bank by the prisoner (having pre iously indemnified the directors of the bank), and conse quently, he had commenced an cction for the recovery of tt e amount. judgment uprn which was to be pronounced in the city the very next day. The prosecutors knew this, and hence the course adopted by them. He (Mr. Clark son) had been so hastily instructed on the matter, il•at he hoped his Worship would, by remanding the r isoner fur a week or a fortnight, enable him to do jus ic.,, to his client, an d hi s c li ent t o d o justice to him (_ by examieinm more minutely the multifarious c'reurnatances o f the case as alleged against him. He epprehended that nothing so monstrously unjust as send is g th e pr i soner out of the country before this oppor tunity were given him could be contemplated by his WerNhip. who was judge of the case as expressly enjoined by the Act to d one of every-day occur r ` ace w ithin the • r h o: , e s r h to other t o a n nt of p l Oi i n s ts ow ili l th C ; o s u c r a . se, H in e. bei ontena, the Act could have no refer ' ace whatever, e ng of subsequent date ; b it for the d c sent he should e Julism'avvieeout himself to his appll • so immediate renas.e2 fine Mr. Chambers Zeunwill* g to oWect to th e e at a t p un pl i l f‘ a. r ten of his friend, bnt doltnbied whether the Acts in proceedings should be tmestion, which directed that empowered the 1 ken " with all convenient speed," point he should, agistrate to grant a remand. This erefore, leave in his Worship's hanls.H w e h h e ad almost before v I rgotten the circumstances of the case nder the consideration of the Bench ; but he n bel that the charge, as it now stool, was based upo e n ed a - document exhibiting a forgery in two respects—the mount said to be deposited, as well as the name of the depositor, being altered. Should the magis trate believe that this charge was established by the eepositions and commit upon that :conviction, it would V en be in the power of his friend to apply for a writ of abeas corpus, and submit the obj - cti(ns which he had to or to tho superior authority. Mr. HALL remarked that the circumstances of this case were of a very peculiar nature, differing in an im portant respect from those that came b?fore him in the ordinary way. He sat there to take the side of neither party, bat merely to discharge:a duty, which he trusted he should have the firmness to do according to the con viction of his mind ; but it should be remembered that when an ordinary prisoner was brought before him, he usually proceeded to the investigation of his case in total ignorance of the particulars of the charge against him, whilst in the present case he was actually obliged, by the Act of Parliament, to make himself master of every fact, as recorded in the depositions, before granting the warrant. Mr. Clarkson—ln that respect you have an important advantage over the prisoner. Mr. HALL—It might be considered an advantage if it was the province of the magistrate to connect with his own the functions of an advocate. Whether he felt dis posed, however, to grant a remand, or otherwise, it was quite clear that in this, as in all other cases, some evi dence must be previously taken. The depositions would be read over to the prisoner, and it would be found thv, the facts of the case, however massive was the appdai. ance of the depositions, were comprised in a very narrow compass. Mr. Clarkson objected to the admission of the certifi cate of the Foreign Secretary of State (before alluded to) in the absence of proof of Lord Aberdeen's stgna- ture. A messenger was consequently dispatched to the pri vate secretary of his Lordship, Mr. Dawkins, who at tended at a later period of tte afternoon, and identified the signa,:ure. Mr. HALL observed that the second clause of the ori ginal Act authorised the reception of " copies" of the depositions, which. it had been held, rendered the pro duction of the original copies insufficient. He was net of this opinion, and Lord Kenyon had held that the " originals" in such a case were admissible. Still there were adverse opinions, and he bad, therefore, used both the copies and the originals for the purposes of this inquiry. The depositions, as taken in New York before the Dis trict Attorney and Recorder of the City, together with the certificates accompanying them, were put in and read. It appeared that on the 15th of April, 1841, a person, calling himself " Nathaniel Brittain," went to the prosecutors' office, in Walpole-street, New York, and produced a certificate of deposit purporting to be drawn upon the bank of New Orleans for 23,000 Mexi can dollars. A cheque for the amount (less 1 per cent.) was given to him, and afterwards a party, alleged to be the prisoner, called and received the cash in gold. Other evidence went to show that a man named Charles Webb, of Philadelphia, was in concert with him. John Dieter Poe, clerk to Messrs. Little and Co„ the prosecutors, deposed that be compared the copies with the original depositions in the District Attorney's office at New York. He spoke to the signatnre of the Recorder to the original certificates, and saw other points of form. Cross-examined—Was not present at the examination of the witness. Was examined himself before the Dis tact Attorney (who was the public prosecutor) in his private office. Witness held no public office in America. Was not in England in 1843. Came to England in January, 1845, and gave the documents into the hands of Mr. Mullins, the solicitor (in England) to the prose- cutors. Re-examined—He believed that every effort had been since made to apprehend the prisoner. Mr. Clarkson denied this statement, and expressed his surprise that such a question should be put to the wit ness, who could know nothing at all about it. The same witness was then examined as to his own depositions, and repeated the statements made by him in New York. He recollected cashing the cheque for 23,000 dollars, and identified the prisoner at the bar as the person to whom he paid the amount in gold. Tha , ! - prisoner held a bag, into which witness placed the gold- dropping some sovereigns at the time on the floor. The prisoner remarked at the time that he (witness) might .have them if he liked, as he was in a hurry to leave. Witness thought the prisoner's manner was very extra= ordinary. • Cross•examined—Had" not seen the prisoner from that day (April 15, 1841) up to the present time since his appearance at the bar. Could positively swear that. he was the person. He was not altered in his appear twee, and talked in a deep tone of voice. No sovereigns were left upon the floor. Witness picked them all - tp, and put them in the bag. Thomas John Sowtow deposed that he was a men chant's clerk, living at Bermondsey. He was formerly,.. , in the service of Messrs. Sanders, of the Hull saw-mills. On the bankruptcy of the firm, in the latter part of 1841, the premises were taken by the prisoner, Mr. Clinton, and a Mr. Charles Webb, to whom 1.4 a acted as clerk until February, 1843. The prisoner was chiefly in London, but came to Hull when the December balances were due in 1842. Witness knew the prisoner's hand writing. He believed the words in blue ink on the cer tificate of deposit were in his handwriting. The signa ture " Nathaniel Brittain," written twice at the back of the document, was in the handwriting of his partner, Charles Webb. Cro,s-examined—Had been in one or two situations since that time as clerk. Mr. Mullins came to witness upon the subject. Did not expect any remuneration. Would have scorned to make any such stipulation. Had never exprecsed a doubt as to the prisoner's hand: writing upon the document produced. The prisoner owed witness no money. He always behaved very honourably to witness. By Mr. HALL—Clinton never went by any other name whilst witness knew him. Mr. Chambers having said that he had no other evi dence to offer, Mr. Clarkson addressed the Bench for the prisoner declaring that if it was intended that anything like Xis tice should be done in this case, a remand must be granted. lie denounced the species of evidence taken in the Dis trict Attorney's private office at New York as of the most trumpery nature, such as could never be admissi-i ble in any English court of justice. He concluded, or again demanding for his client a privilege which would he conceded to any Englishman—the privilege of clfs ptoving the, charges brought thus irregular?) , against him. Mr. HALL said, although it was not desired of him to offer an opinion as to the Treaty Act being of a prospective or retrospective eh.zracter, he could not, as the subject had been so frequently alluded to, pass it over alto gether without remark. lie should not attempt to decide so grave a question himself, but would gladly leave in the hands of the Learned Judges, to whom the case might be submitted, in the event of ulterior proceedings being taken on behalf of the pri soner. Still he was of opinion that there was nuthing in the clauses of the Act that could be regarded as limiting its operation to offences occurring after the date thereof; and he was strengthened in this opinion by the fact Chat the French treaty contained a clause expressly extending the operation of the Act to all offences, whether of prior or subsequent date. With regard to the application for a remand, he would only say that, looking at the requisitions of the Treaty Act, and remarking that no general role could be laid down in such matters (which must be left to the discretion of the magistrate), he was bnuad to express himstlf satisfied that such a primci facie case hail been established by the evidence befoie him as justified him in taking that course which was defined by the terms of the treaty between this country and the United States. It was his duty to allow no' unnecessary delay to take place, and therefore he shQuld certify his committal of the prisoner to the Government, who would act accordingly. It was satisfactory to him to know that if he had erred his error might be cor rected by a higher authority. Mr. Clarkson applied for a copy of the depositions. Mr. Ham. said it was unusual to grant such applica tions, and therefore refused it. The case, with its numerous delays, occupied the whole of the day, to the entire exclusion of all other business from the court. The other charges were con , sequently taken by Mr. Twyford in a waiting-room. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A journeyman coppersmith, named Evans, moned before Mr. Hardwick for breach of _contractwas u sum • his employer, Mr. Styles, coppersmith, Lisle-street; Leicester-square. Mr. Styles proved thU't the defendant entered inttS' written contract to engage himself for six months, at the wa :es of 235. weekly. The defendant came to work two or three days and then left him entirely. Mr. Pontifex, the coppersmith. said the defendant had some time previously engaged himself to him for several months. The railroads made the trade so busy that it was of importance not to lose the services of even one man. He hoped the defendant would be obliged to fulfil his original engagement. Mr. Styles said he had no vindictive ft cling towards ,he man, who was otherwise a good workman, and when not drawn away by liquor a steady man. But it was' important to teach journeymen that they must not, Ator having engaged themselves to an em p loyer for a st-ifed 'ja', leave their work and upset business with impunity. Had this been the defendant's first offence of the like sort he should perhaps have looked over it ; but as the defendant had done the same before, and had thereby , et a bad example to others, he had determined to put the law in force against him. Mr. Hartnwlcx said, in order to teach him that. he mast not enter into engagements and break them capri ciously, to the great injury of his employers, he would , end him to prison for one month. The defendant's solicitor said Mr. Styles would, of course, pay the man his wages all the time he was in prison. Mr. Style - 3 said he would do whatever the magistrate quired. Mr. ITAnDwicK looked over the Act, and came to the determination, instead of directing Mr. Styles to pay a proportionate amount of the wages, of cancelling tile contract altogether. The der.ndarit was then committed 0 hard labour for a month. TVORS lIIP-STR 6E7'. Yesterday a young man of the Jewish persuasion, named JoA , ph Satnuels, was placed at the bar before Mr. nroughton, charged with having attempted to murder.

He then peremptorily repeated his order for the prisoner to leave the house, when the latter instantly sprung towards the work-table, and seizing a large carving knife, and ex claiming with a dreadful imprecation that he would stick him through the body, made a desperate stab at him in the direction of his chest; but the witness by a violent effort warded off the blow with the candlestick, and knocked the knife out of his heed. He then upbraided the prisoner with the infamy of his conduct towards him, when the prisoner tauntingly told him that his wife had voluntarily sought the intercourse, and that it had taken place between them upon numerous former occasions. The witness had, in the mean time, thrown up the win dow, and called loudly for the police, and on the entrance of a constable he gave the prisoner into his custody. In answer to questions from the magistrate, the pro secutor stated, that he had been married to his wife for a period of seven years, and had four children by her, the youngest of which was only a few months old, and that he had never witnessed anrthing in her con duct which could give rise to suspicion until the present unhappy occasion. What, moreover, added to the enormity of the prisoner's guilt was the fact, that about a twelvemonth since he had come up from the country in a state of utter destitution, without even the means of getting either food or lodging, and that lie (the wit ness) had not only afforded him immediate shelter, but had since comfortably p ovided for him, and not only supplied him with board and lodging, but had also allowed him a liberal weekly salary for assisting him IN TN PRINCIP.AL ITIES ANP TOWNS IN SCCOTLAND, AND IRELAND.

The witnesses were subjected to a severe cross-exa -mination by Mr. Norton, the prisoner's solicitor, who, however, entirely failed in eliciting anything in the slighteit degree at variance with their original testimony. Mr. BROUGHTON had no hesitation whatever in com mitting the prisoner fur trial on the charge of attempt ing to stab his brother. SOUTHWARK. Yesterday Henry Killorby, the lad remanded on Thurs day last, on the charge of sending anonymous letters, containing oxalic acid, to several of the inhabitants of Southwark, was brought up for re-eximination. The Rev. Mr. Horton, rector of St. George's, togetherwith the churchwardens and several of the parishioners , at- 6 1 • I 5% 128 s pl tended the examination. • When the prisoner was placed at the bar Mr. COT eTINGHAM inquired if he had any legal adviser? The prisoner's father stepped forward and replied in the ne gative, observing that he was so conscious of the inno cence of his son that he did not consider it requisite to employ any legal gentleman. Mary Ann Holmes, servant of a Miss Ward, to whom one of the anonymous letters had been delivered, said she was convinced the prisoner was not the person who gave her the letter. Sergeant Kendall said, that the prisoner's father was a straw bonnet cleaner in White street, and that he used oxalic acid in the course of his trade. Several of the anonymous letters had paste upon them of rather a pe culiar description, and not only did the prisoner's father use such paste in his business, but it was also used in the stationery warehouse in the City, where the prisoner was employed. Mr. COTTINGHAM said he did not wish to question the elder Killorby on the subject, as he had no inclination to call a father against his son. A witness proved that the prisoner was at an office in London-street, Fenchurch-street, between eleven and twelve o'clock on Monday last, in the vicinity of a branch post-office where one of the anonymous letters was posted at the very time. Sergeant Kend dl stated that when he took the pri soner into custody he found two clasp knives in his pos session, one of which had a long and sharp-pointed blade, and was carefully wrapped up in paper. The sergeant added, that he mentioned that fact as the writer of some of the anonymous letters threatened to cut the throats of some of those whom he addressed. Another anonymous letter was produced, which was addressed to the m igistrate, the writer declaring that the accused was wholly innocent of the charges upon which he was brought up to that Cuurt; that he (the writer) was the real offender, and added that he should cease to persecute people any more if the prisoner was ;liberated. The Magistrate here referred to the letter addressed to Mr. Stead, the parish-clerk of St. George's, in which the writer threatened to set fire to St. George's Church if he did not repeat some vile insinuations against a Mrs. Spriggs on the Sunday during service. The Magistrate inquired if the accused had any facilities for carrying such a threat into execution ? Two witnesses, bell-ringers of St. George's Church, were then called, and from their evidence it appeared that the prisoner was in the habit of assisting in ringing the bells of that church, and that he frequently attended during the service in the church. The witness had also seen Miss Elizabeth Spriggs attending divine worship. (Miss Spriggs was one of the persons to whom the letters above referred to were sent inclosing poison.) Mr. COTTINGHAM inquired if the prisoner had any communic.tion with either of the witnesses respecting the letter sent to Mr. Stead containing the threat to set fire to the church ? Jenkins, one of the witnesses, replied that he asked the prisoner if Mr. Stead had announced to the congre gation the words used in the letter relative to Mrs. ,Spriggs, and the answer the prisoner gave was in the affirmative, but that they were in so low a tone of voice that the people in the church could hardly hear them. Mr. Stead was examined, and in reply to Mr. Cotting ham, he said that of course he had not alluded in any way to the contents of the letter referred to, but that he had acquainted the churchwardens of the fact and the threat of the writer to burn the church. Mr. COTTINGHAM inquired if there were means of carrying out. such a threat as that used, is hether a person employed in the belfry could have access to any part where there were materials of a combustible nature? Mr. Stead replied that there was a quantity of shav ings and dry wood near the belfry, and that the place was easy of access to those employed in ringing the bells; but since the receipt of the letter alluded to, all matters of a combustible description have been removed out of the place. He added that the prisoner was engaged in the belfry, and was present there almost every Sabbath day. Mr. CorrnrciliAm, addressing the prisoner, said that although the writing in the letters was not identified as his, still the evidence adduced against him that day strengthened the suspicions as to his being the person by whom they were sent ; the case, however, was far from being so complete as to justify him at present in sending it before a jury. The prisoner, if he had a mind to make any statement, or to make any remark on the evidence already brought forward, might do so, but with this caution, that whatever he did say might here , after be used against him; after that caution he was at iberty to act as he thought proper on the occasi on .

On Friday a meeting was held at Bicester, to take into consideration the merits of this line. Mr. J. PAXTON presided, and in opening the proceedings adverted to the advantages Bicester would derive 'from having a line right through it. He believed there were no fewer than seven lines preparing to run through the district. Mr. MALEY, solicitor, and local agent to the Company, proposed the first resolution, to the effect, that a line through Bicester, connecting it with the Great Wnstern at Slough, and with the Oxford and Rugby at Heyford, would be a great advantage, as it would enable them to reach London and Birmingham direct, and to obtain communication with the coal fields. Mr. W. PAXTON seconded the resolution. There were no engineering difficulties, and it would not interfere with ornamental property. Mr. POWELL described the line. It would be 64 miles, commencing at the Farnborough station of the South West ern, crossing the Great Western between Slough and Maiden head, and terminating on the Oxford and Rugby line at Lower Heyford, on the route to Birmingham. In its course . it would accommodate Bracknell, Sunning-hill, Bagshot, - Ascot, Windsor, Great Marlow, High Wycombe, Princes - Risborough, Thome, Bicester, and several other places at present without a railway communication, and form the most direct route from London to Banbury, Warwick, and Bir mingham, and by the Grand Junction to Manchester, Liver - pool, Lancaster, and Carlisle ; and by the Caledonian Railway - to Glasgow and Edinburgh ; and from Crewe to Chester, - Birkenhead and Holyhead ; thus opening the most direct communication with Dublin-also by the branch to Oxford, _ in connexion with the Cheltenham and Oxford line, it - would form the most direct route to South Wales, Water - ford, and the south of Ireland, as well as by the Oxford, - Worcester, and Wolverhampton line to Worcester, and - to all the central portions of 'Wales, thus forming - the shortest, route to Wales and Ireland. It would save an average distance of fourteen - miles to each of the before-mentioned places as compared - with the route now traversed by the Great 'Western. There - were no engineering difficulties, and the land was the least - valuable of any in the counties, avoiding parks and orna mental property. I'o the saving about fourteen miles in the transits to London, was to be added that of connecting with - the South Western and the Reading and Reigate lines, af - fording passengers an opportunity of proceeding to South - ampton, Isle of Wight, Dover, Brighton, and all adjacent places, without the necessity of passing through the metro _ _ polis. In compliance with the suggestions of landowners, the Committee had decided on forming branches from the - Theme station to Oxford and Aylesbury. Sir J. Macneill - and Mr. Thompson were the engineers. Shareholders in the „ Grand Junction, Great Western, and South Western, would " 7,, have a preference in allotment f shares. Messrs. Douglas, Mills, Chapman, and Harris, addressed -- the meeting. An amendment was proposed to the effect - that further time be given for consideration of the various - other schemes, but the original resolution in favour of the proposed line was carried. The following is an enumeration of the schemes, twenty -5% five in number, projected up to the present period, for sup a% plying the west of England with railways :-The West - Cornwall, with a capital of 500,000/. ; the Cornwall Coast - Line, capital 1,500,000/. ; the North Devon and its branches, - capital 1,750,0001. ; the Launceston and Tavistock, capital 100,000/., ; the Tavistock and Plymouth Line. These two are extensions of the South Devon ; the Cornwall and - Devon Central in connexion with the Yeovil, capital - 3,000,000/. ; the Bideford aed Tavistock (Hopkin's), in connexion with the Central ; the Direct Plymouth and Bideford, capital 800,000/. ; the Great Western and Falmouth Junction, capital 1,500,000/. ; the South Devon, now con - structing, capital 900,000/. ; the Direct Exeter and Ply - mouth, via .Ashburton • the Great Western Extension - Atmospheric, to Barnstaple and Ilfracombe, capital sr 0,000/. ; - the Dartmouth and Exeter Line, via Newton, in conjunction with the South Devon, capital 300,0001.; the Dartmouth, Torbay, and Exeter Direct, in connexion with the Central, - capital 600,0001.; the Exeter and Crediton, now in progress; - the Exeter, Topsham, and Exmouth, capital 120,000. (Head's); the Exeter and Exmouth, capital 130,0001. ( Daw's); the Direct Western, from London to the Land's End, capital 3,000,000/. • the Taw Vale Extension, capital - 700,000/. • the Ashburton, Newton, and South Junction, Ca pital 133,000/.; the Bridport and Exeter, or South Coast - Junction, capital 900,000/. ; the Great West of England, or - South Western and Exeter Extension, capital 1,600,000/. ; the Exeter, Dorchester, and Weymouth, capital 1,250,0)01.; the Exeter, Yeovil, and Dorchester, capital 1,300,000/. ; the - Direct London and Exeter, capital 3,000,0001. MANX LINES.—The Isle of Man, in common with every - other isle, is to have a railway added to its patriarchal and - picturesque possessions. Two companies, the Isle of Man and the Great Manx, court thepopular suffrage. The former _ is supported by the Earl of Uxbridge, and the latter by Dr. - Bowring. Surveys are in progres, and application has been - made to the Legislature of the island to give power of ex - tension by means of an act of Tynwald The report that the dividend of the Newcastle and Dar lington will be increased to 10 per cent. this half-year, and - that new 231. shares will be created for each 25/. share of - the present stock, has received confirmation. The Lancaster 'N Guardian asserts that the high tides have done considerably ' less damage to the Furness Railway at Salthouse than has been reported. At the last meeting of the Carmarthen Town Council re solutions were passed in favour of the Welsh Midland Railway. The contracts on the Berks and Hants line are let, the line is staked out, and the works will be commenced immediately. A contract has been entered into by Brassy, Stephenson, and Maskeuzie, the contractors, for the construction of the Trent Valley at 611,619/., at the rate of 12,0001. per mile, to be completed by the spring of 1847. DARTMOUTH, TORBAY, AND EXETER.—Arrangements have been made within the last few days for co-operation between this Company and the Taw Vale Extension, the Cornwall and Devon Central, the Exeter, Dorchester, and Yeovil, and the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Companies ; so that there will be one continuous line of railway with the same gauge, and without change of carriage, from the London station of the South-Western Railway, at Hungerford -bridge, to Brix ham, Dartmouth, &c. By the 'raw Vale Extension a direct railway will be opened between the harbours of Torquay, Paignton, Brixham and Dartmouth, on the English Channel, and those of Barnstaple, Bideford, and Ilfracombe, on the Bristol Channel, and the long-contemplated scheme of connecting the two channels with a direct line to London and Ealmouth will be effected. It is scarce'y surprising that this line should be supported by the local parties, when it is considered of how much importance it is to Dartmouth to have railway accommodation and in the shortest line pos sible. Dartmouth is one of the finest and safest harbours on our south-west coast. Its situation and natural advan tages porticularly fit it for a packet station. In case of its being chosen for such purpose, it would then become, from a small town, a large and flourishing seaport. The commis sioners for inquiring into harbours expressly state that it would be, had it good communication with the interior, the best port for landing and shipping the West India mails. They say that its waters are perfectly safe and. tranquil in the most tempestuous weather, s o that the mails could at all times be put on board or landed, and coals be taken in. It is not our object to establish a comparison between Falmouth and Dartmouth ; but it is sufficient to state that Dartmouth has merits of its own which make good its claim to a large traffic. The Dartmouth and Exeter line gives the necessary connexion with the Bristol and Exeter Railway at Exeter, and so with Bristol, Gloucester, Birmingham, Liverpool, Manchester, Leeds, and the north ; while the Yeovil lines, or other direct lines, will give the main thing—a short com munication with the metropolis. Brixham is another im portant point which is accommodated by this line. Brix ham is the port of Torbay anchorage, and has shipping be longing to it of 20,000 tons, besides flushing craft. Brixham ' employs 1,500 seamen, and the merchants are very desirous of having railway accommodation. Torquay, an admired . watering-place, is now a steam-boat station to the Channel Isles, and there are also the towns and stations of Paignton, - Newton, Chudleigh, and Moretonbampstead.— Exeter paper. CENTRAL STATION AT CARLISLE.—The formal adhesion, says the Carlisle Journal, of the Newcastle and Carlisle Directors to the plan for forming a united station for all the railways which now have their termini in Carlisle, was re - ceived this week, and since then considerable progress has - been made in the purchase of property in Court-square, " where it is proposed the station shall be. The Maryport and Carlisle Railway Directors still stand aloof; but we trust they will soon see the propriety of joining the other three companies in one general plan which will be ornamental to - the town and useful to the public. They ought certainly, and that without any loss of time, to put an end to their danger ous mole of backing out the carriages from the present station. The Caledonian Railway, it is expected, will come into Carlisle nearly in a line between the two bridges across the Caldow, and so forward to the general station. In this way they will save much of the embankment across the Willow Holm, which would have been necessary upon the original plan. We understand that the railway companies have been met in a most liberal spirit by the owners of pro party required for carrying out their plans. NEWCASTLE AND CARLISLE.—A dispute has for some time existopetween the Directors of this line and the owners of ceitWiti collieries and stone quarries with respect to the race , of carriage.. The owners of coil and 4:ale complain that charges for carriago are not only high higher in comparison tll :-.n thoso of a,ly other lin,. kingdo:7a ; and that their c Anplaiut is not xn one may be inferred from the fact that two of the collieries namely, those of the Blenkinsopp and Haltwhistle Corn pauies--have actually ceased from working for upwards of 7 I 7 of theniselv six months, in consequence of the high charges. Committees have been app.inted, and meethz after meeting has been ' held to consider the subject; but still nith the same result — an obAinate, and what we must cad a suicidal adherence to high rates, on the part of the Mt-actors, who, :ilthou,,h they live in the nineteenth century, have not yet found out that two and two do not always mike four. The Blenkins )pp Company has for many years paid them, on the average, between 8,0001. and 9,0001. per annum ; the precise amount paid by the Haltwhistle Company we do not know, but it must have been considerable. The last meeting was held at Newcastle on Tuesday last, when blind obstinacy again prevailed by a majority of eight to five, and thus the two sources of income above stated have been effectually destroyed. Surely it is time fir the share holders to interfere in this matter, and no longer suffer their best interests to be set aside for the mere sake of gratifying the pig-headed propensities of men unfit for the emergencies of the time they live in and the position they occupy.— Carlisle Journal. ----------------------- t. lines, or ceming into collision with each other.:,of.rir7s btil'etier s bursting, may now be avoided --et least, s 3 _,. eegteeere theteselees are, for teheedyibecisventerestdelferteitb,e7.77o they !tad escesed the more immediate ki!led or meemed by the carriages crushing the ' engine aged toil& r. ty •hresk Whether Directors will adopt this patent sale • will a good deal depend on the publir.

OuLEANs TO JOIGNY.—The Minister of Public Works hax ordered surveys of this line to be immediately commenced; and in order to accelerate the operations, has ordered it to be divided into two parts, one from Orleans to the River Loing, and the other from the Loing to Joigny. CAEN TO CHERBOURG.—The department of Calvados has voted the sum of 3,000 f. for the preliminary surveys of a line between Caen to Cherbourg, with a branch line to Gran ville, .00RDEAUX TO BAYONNE.—The Prefects of the departments f the Gironde and the Lower Pyrenees have announced liat a preliminary enque'te has been opened for the line be tween. Bordeaux and Bayonne. DOLE TO LONS-LE-SAULNIER.—The Minister of Public Works has authorised M. Delarue and other engineers under his orders to commence surveys on the line, at the expense of certain private persons who have offered to supply the necessary funds; also the preliminary surveys from Lons-le- Saulnier to the limits of the department of the Ain; this latter work, however, being at the cost of the State. CORRELL to MELUN.—A Company has been formed for the purpose of obtaining the concession of this line. The parti culars have not yet been published. DIEPPE TO FECAMF.—The statutes of this Company were examined by the Council of State on the 30th ult., and the royal ordinance, approving of the concession, has been pub lished. Mr. Newman, engineer - in chief of the Havre line, has been appointed engineer of these branch lines, and the works are to coifimence in a few days. It is supposed that the two branch lines will be opened on May 1, 1847. NORTHERN OF' FRANCE.—The board of Directors of this Company, with Baron James de Rothschild as President, has delegated its powers to a committee composed of five of its members, viz. :—Messieurs P. Hottinguer, E. Pereire, A. Thurneyspeu, Marquis Delon, and M. Caillard, sen. LINE ROUND PARIS.—The Government has authorised the preliminary enQue'te for the line which is to unite together the various termini of the railways from the provinces termi nating in Paris. PARIS TO STRASBURG.—Two new companies have been announced for this line, one with Admiral Arnous as presi dent, and the other with Admiral de Heide. The first-named admiral is the president of the Company from Creil to St. Quentin, of which Malachy Daly, of the Place Vendome, is the banker; and the second has just been united with the company called "Les Riverains," composed of persons inte rested in the lines in the several departments through which the line passes. .uORDEAUX TO THE SPANISH FRONTIER.—A new company has been formed for this: line, passing through Bayonne, with a capital of 25,000,000 f., divided into 50,000 shares of 500 f., of which the fourth part is reserved to the Spanish subscribers. The surveys have been made with great care, and the exe cution of the line is declared to be without any difficulty. MULHOUSE AND THAUN.—The number of passengers on this line, from the 6th July to the 21st September, was 18,398; the receipts during the same period amounted to 10,808 f. ; showing an increase for the present year, compared with the corresponding date of 1814, of 11,115 passengers, and of 4,486 f. STRASBURG.—Upon the section between Strasburg and Colmar the number of passengers, from the 7th to the 21st September, were 6,401, and the receipts 6,784 f. ; showing an increase, in comparison with the corresponding period of 1844, of 3.166 passengers, and of 1,770 f. CECIL AND SAINT QUENTIN.—Anew company, half English and half French; has been formed for undertaking this line ; capital 35 millions of francs. It has taken the title of " Corn pa..mie de l'Oise." PARIS AND OES.AY.—SinCe the announcement that the sub scription list would soon be closed, there have been demands for shares to • the number of 45,000, and on the last day they increased to the number of 80,000. BORDEAUX AND CETTE.—M. Berlin, chief engineer of the department of the Haute Garonne, has been appointed by Government to report upon the two proposed plans of this line between Beziers and Cette. Zuracii AND BALE.—A subscriptiOn has been opened for the construction of this line at Zurich, Vienna, Berlin, Frank fort, Genoa, and Milan. Capital 20,000,000 of francs, to be divided into 40,000 shares of 500 francs each. The projectors of this company are residents at Zurich. M. de Negrelli is the engineer. SCHLESWIG, HOLSTEIN.—On the 18th of September, ex actly one year after the opening of King Christian VIII. Baltic Sea Railway, the Rendsburg and Neumuenster Railway was opened with the usual ceremony. In the incredibly short 'space of five months this line has been completed, with the except!on of the terminus at Rendsburg, through the zeal of the direction and engineers. Everything seems to show that the newly-opened line operates advanta geously for the traffic in West and South Schlesien ; and at the same time, its construction having cost no more than 900,000 marks (43,7501.), there ii little doubt that it will afford a good return. SWITZERLAND.—A conference of the statesmen and engi neers of the cantons Tessin and Piemont is being held at Turin, for the purpise of constructing a railway through Bun den to the Bodensee. NUREMBERG AND BAMBERG.—The Royal North Railway from Bamberg to Lichtenfels is to be opened on the 15th inst.., and the journey may then be performed in three hours. MOEDLING AND LUXEMBERG.—On the Ist of October this line was opened with the usual ceremonies. TELEGRAPHS.—Major von Mageru has left Vienna, com missioned to undertake and commence a telegraphic commu nication between Trieste and Venice. With respect to the great projected lines of telegraph, the commencement is to be made on the line between Vienna and Milan. PATENT SAFETY SELF-ACTING BRE AK FOR RAILWAYS. (From the Brighton Herald.) On Monday last a series of experiments were made on the London and Brighton line with Mr. Thornton's patent safety self-acting break, before General Pasley and they were also witnessed by R. Heavi,ide, Esq., W. Seymour, Esq., Mr. Bridges, the railway coach•builder, and other gentlemen. - The object of the inventor is, to devise a' means whereby i those frightful accidents, so common of late on railways, may be effectually prevented ; and in this we think he has fully and completely succeeded. We are aware that numberless plans have been sug gested for this purpose ; but none that we have heard of is to be compared to Mr. Thornton's. Amongst the dangers of railroad travelling, there are —lst. Running off the line and over an embankment, or a bridge, as the case may be.-2 1. Two engines meeting and dashing into each other.-3d. The blowing up of a boiler. In fact, whatever danger an engine may be in, the pas sengers are partakers of it. As remedies, it has been proposed—let. to place a luggage van always between the engine and the carriages. 2nd. To place a waggon load of faggots, cotton, or of some other material, in that position ; and beyond these clumsy contrivances we have heard of nothing to afford protection to passengers when an accident happens to an engine. Mr. Thornton's plan is to have a rope (which is pre ferable for the purpose to either a chain or a wire rope) attached to the tender and the first carriage, the rop: being from twenty to thirty yards long, or, if required. much longer, as it may be c.aled on a roller beneath the carriage. The engine in this way would tow the train along, and the engine may be either on the same line or on another, or the same engine may tow two trains, one on each line, along. But neither of the two latter pro jects is essential or important.. But it will be apparent, that, with a space of thirty yards between the train and the engine, the latter might be dashed to atoms over an embankment, whilst the train would escape much of the danger. The project, however, wend , ' be very inefficient if it ended here. Supposing, then, a train towed along by a rope 30 yards long, and the engine running off the line or running against an engine coming in the oppo site direction, it would be necessary, to give safety to the train, to have means of stopping it as instantane ously as such accidents happen, and yet not with such a jerk as to knock the carriages with violence against each other, to the imminent danger of the passengers. To avoid all this, Mr. Thornton's plan is, we think, admirably adapted, and the plan will be best understood by describing the experiment itself. On arriving at Hayward's Heath by the half-past 11 train, we found an engine with an old second-class car riage attached and fitted up on Mr. Thornton's plan, so far as regards the apparatus of the safety-break. We mention that it was alt old carriage, to show that it is by no means necessary that carriages should be built for the purpose, and that, as we learned, the whole safety apparatus may be fixed to any carriage at an ex pense of a few pounds. The expense of the apparatus itself would be reduced, as some of that now in use may be dispensed with. General Pasley having mounted the engine, and se- veral gentlemen caving entered the carriage — , the engine was set off at a rate of forty miles an hour towards Has- sock's Gate and when it arrived , still going at an acce lerated speed, at the 14 milestone, the rope was discon nez...ted, and away flew the engine by itself, whilst the rapidity of the carriage was gradually slackened, till, about thirty yards from where the rope was cast off; it came to a dead stand, but so gently as to occasion only the slightest shock. It was a splendid experiment and was repeated several times, once with the engine on one line awl the carriages on the other. General Pasley and the company then accompanied v[r. Thornton to the Hassocks Inn, where he showed them a great number of drawings, beautifully executed, and a model of his break and apparatus. To describe things of this . kind in words is very difficult, so as to convey a correct idea of them; but we believe that Mr. Thornton will feel pleasure ia exhibiting them to any person. In the first place, as regards the rope. One end, as we have already observed, is attached to the tender ; the other to a catch, in front of the carriage, so constructed that the guard can detach it in an instant ; and the moment it is detached, the dragging being no longer on the catch, it draws back, and very simple machinery is set in action by the wheels of the carriage itself, which compels the break to act upon them and gradually delay their pribgress, until finally, but in a ftw seconds, they stop. Ti.e invention is exceedingly ingenious, and the experiment put its practicability beyond doubt. The breaks, we may add, are always just before each of the wheels, but kept just clear of them by the apparatus, which, in form, resem bles the elbow of an arm, which extends as the traction power is removed, and as it descends the breaks press against the wheels. One thing is certain as regards the project, that if it were to fail, which seems impossible. the danger will not be, as is sometimes the ease, in the snall!est tlogree in ;:reitsecl. If the rope, for instance, were to brcal., no misehit f would accrue. The' oily possible illeonvoli , ;Ice would be the ilrlay of a few 'mantes till the rope was iplieed, or another put in its place. To our minds, then, it has been proved that the means of avoiding the danger of engines running off the : :~'.;r- Oct. Oct. Oct. Oct 6. 6. 6. 6 -- ON STARCH FROM DISEASED POTATOES.—It is desirable that no delay should take place in communicating to the unfortunate possessors of diseased crops of potatoes a use to which they may be applied advantageously. I have very recently had an opportunity of being present at a mi croscopical examination of the structure of the bad potatoes, made by Dr. Paget and Mr. I. Anthony, both of Caius Col lege, Cambridge, in which it was observed that the globules of starch were not at all injured by the fungus which was destroying the other parts of the potato. It immediately occurred to those gentlemen that good starch might be pre pared from the bad potatoes. They, accordingly, obtained -oine of the very worst potatoes that could be got at Cam bridge, and, by reducing them to a pulp, and then washing it, they were successful in obtaining the starch in quite as goo potatoes in the most healthy state. This seems to be a very valuable fact, as it shows that some good use may be made of even those potatoes in which the disease has made great progress, and which have become unfit for food, owing to the decay of the vegetable tissue, and the spreading of the fun gus. I see that Mr. Berkeley has observed that the globule. of starch are uninjured; we may, therefore, probably con elude that such is always the case, a n d t h a t crops apparently only fit to be destroyed may now be converted to use. I need say not' ing concerning the ninny valuable purposes to which potato starch may be applied, nor the mode of preparing it, as they are well known—better, probably, to must of your readers than to me.— C. C. Babington, St. John's Co!lege, Cambridge. FAL;IOUTH.—In the course of last week upwards of sixty vessels from various parts of the world called at this port for orders. The pilotage alone paid for these vessels at the low average of 51. would amount to 3001., which for the most part is distributed amongst a valuable class of indus trious men, whose services are of a most important character. A short time ago we heard of forty vessels calling for orders in one day. A large Dutch steam-vessel of war is now h ere, preparing to proceed to Batavia, under the di rec ti ons o f t h e Consul, R. R. Broad, Esq.—Penzance Gazette. -- HIGHWAY ROBBERY WITH VIOLENCE.-011 Wed nesday night last, between ten 'and eleven o'clock, as a man na med John Cunison, servant to Mr. S. A. Clarke, of Green bury Lodge, Writt l e , was return i n g hom e from this town, where he had been receiving 11. 2s. 6(1. on his own account, when passing Mr. Hammond's wood, in Cherry-garden-lane, he `was attacked by two men, who, first throwing something over his head and face to muffle him, hurled him to the ground with great violence, and then kneeling upon him, rifled his pockets of their contents and made otf. Cunison states one of the villains to have worn a short ragged smock frock, as iffor disguise. The poor fellow was so unwell the following morning from the violence and ill-treatment he encountered as to require medical assistance.—Chelmiord Chronicle. , NOTTINGHAM GOOSE FAIR.—Our great October fair commenced on Thursday, under unfavourable auspices, the weather having changed to set rain, which began at a very early hour in the morning, and continued through the whole of the day. Everything being uncomfortable, few persons ventured into the market-place, except such as were compelled by business. The cheese fair was not very large, and for the best old cheese, 653. were demanded ; for new milk, from 58s. to 60s. ; and for second quality, from 80s. to 455. Mr. Palmer, of Sandiacre, whose dairy has obtained such deserved repute, sold 12 cwt. at 645. each in the morn ing. Stilton cheese, 9d. per lb. The show of horses, in Calah's close, was large : good horses commanded high terms, but inferior hacks were next to unsaleable at any price.
