H o 'd st i ert h, th e i ncum b en t o f St. J o h n ' s , having taken the chair:it was foam' that the meeting was so numerously attended by the influential inhabi4ats of the district, that the Vestry -room would not hold *third part, and an adjournment was accordingly male to one of the newly -erected mansions in Lansdewne-terrace, the largest room in which was crowded to excess, the greatest excite ment having for some days past existed amongst the rate paLera on the subject of church- rates. - Mr. ROY, of the firm of Roy, Blunt, and Company, soh citors, who is the incumbent's churchwarden, opened the business of the meeting by moving " That a rate of twopence in the pou n d b e made forthwith towards the repairs of the church of the said parish, the expenses incidental tr• the defrayi ng maintaining diYi ne serv i ce therein. and for and towards the and indemnifying the* churchwardens of the said Parish, and for all other necessary costs and expenses, they map be at or put- unto touching and concerning the said office of churchwardens." - Mr. Gana: uto seeonded the motion.

Captain Hosken came below, and informed us that he could not undertake to convey the passengers to New York unless he put into some port for a siipply of coals, and he had consulted with the pilot, who had recommended Holme's Hole as a place where many 'coal vessels put in, taking coals to Boston. We had only sixteen hours' coal on board (and that inust he at half speed), whereas at that rate we could not, make New.

(From The Sun of Saturday Evening.) • The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 3,000 bales, without any alteration in prices. Shares were dull, but better in some respects. The advices received from the United States are uniform in their expression that railways there, as here, are the order of the day. This is too important a topic to let any well considered opinions go without notice. The New Toth Herald states : _ _ " During the period of the most extensive speculation this country ever experienced, the people of New England invested millions of dollars in railroads, and we are disposed to believe I that it was the drain of capital from many of those who be ► came at that time interest , d in these works, that preve:lad the various speculative movements of the day from spreading the ruin and desolation in that section which fell upon every other portion of the land. The large investments in the roads, then.in_a_state of complet ion, contracted the resources of those interested, and prevented their engaging in the pecula tive bubbles - of the day, which soon after exploded, leaving but a wreck behind. The railroad speculation of th,at,period was looked upon as the snail in the fable, the moral of which has. however, been fully exempli l'fied.. -The railroad speculation of the present day will, without doubt, be even more beneSial in its effects than the - last, as it has become more general, and must operate as a greater check. upon any expansion in commercial affairs. The immense cost of the railroads of Great Bri tain has required a much greater expenditure in propor tion to the length of road constructed, than in this country. It will - hardly be credited that two roads,- leading from the centre of London, in lent th only three and three quarter miles, cost-about 11,000,000 dols. The London and Black wall, 1,289,0801., and the London and Greenwich, 1,026,1001., or over• 1,500,000 dols. per mile. These two roads, constructed at this ' enormous expense, enter a city having a population only about five times larger than that of this city, and pay handsome dividend., while New York has a railroad running the entire length of the island, about nine miles long, and costing for the whole line no more than one mile of the London and Blackwall Railway, that has never yet paid a dividend. The railroads throughout Great Britain cost about three times as much per mile as those of this country. and are kept in running opera, tion at nearly three times the expense, notwithstanding which, they pay a better average rate of dividend than those of the United States." A reference to the Bank of England averages for the past week to Oct. '25, makes us acquainted with the fact of a further diminution having occurred in the amount of notes issued to the extent of 383,2651.; but then the notes in the banking department having :been reduced by 135,9351., the circulation is• only affected by , , the extent of the difference between these two items: The Rest has ,increased by 23,192 1 ., and the iinblic deposits have been diminished by 161,7571.

IN RE GLOVER. ni this case Miss Glover (the daughter of the celebrated Actress), describing herself in her schedule as a " came up fir her final order. The debts were under 3001., and no opposition was made. The Learned Commissioner granted the order. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Lord Chief Baron POLLOCK and Mr. Justice MAME.) EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF SWINDLING.—Arehur Rowan Hamilton. whose name w s not in the calender, was placed at the bar on the charge ofraising money under false pretences. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Balianlyne for the priaoncr. Mr. CLA RKsON briefly staled the case against the prisoner. The prison, r he said was charged with what was commonly called swindling, or raising money under false pretences, from a gentleman of the name of Wood, who had been formerly a captain in the Marines. The prisoner in March last introduced himself to the prosecutor under the name of Captain Rowan Hamilton, an officer in her Ma:,esty's troop of sth Dragoons, who was desirous of taking a farm which the prosecutor, had to lit. the result was the defendant agreed to take the farm ; at the same time the de . fendant cast his eye on an adjoining piece of land, which he re. presented as well qualified for nuking bricks, a proCess in which he excelled. , He offered the prosecutor to. common e the making of bricks provided he wou'd advance 5001. Before doing anything CaptaiwWood required a reference as to the respectability of the defendant, and a Mr. Greenwood was the agent named. He was intormed by the agent that the prisoner was a highly respectable gentleman —an officer in her Majesty's ser vice. Suspicion was thus lulled, and a cheque for 5001. given. So far matters progressed, and no discovery was made till the assumed Capt. Rowan Hamilton paid his addresses to the daughter of a canny Scotsman. While following up his suit, he was in the practice of representing himself to have boen engaged in the services of the British Government in the East, and had been present at the taking of Caubul. The ex. traordinary statements he made in reference to these military per formances awakened the suspicions of the father of the young lady In question. Mr. Douglass, who was tooshrewd a Scotchrcian to be taken in by such pretensions, and before Miss Douglass" was taken in the Coili of the defendant, he instituted a rigid Inquiry Into the real character of the pretended Captain Rowan Hamilton, and he was discovered to be an impostor, passing in one place.undei the cognomen of Dr. Ayton, and at another as an officer in the army, as in the present instance. The Learned o.nitleman, after dwell slog further on the points which he intended to establish in evi dence proceeded to call his witnesses. • _ _ James Wood examined by Mr. BODKIN—He said he lived near WOolsiich. In the month of March last he was looking about for a tenant for a f.rm of fifty acres. He named the matter to a Mr. Taunton, and he introduced the defendant. Witness first saw the defendant on the 27th of March. at Woolwich. He was - informed by him then that he was Captain .Bowan Hamilton of her Ma jesty's bth Dragoon Guards. Witness frequently afterwards saw him on the subject of the farm. He was referred to Mr. Green wood as to the respectability of the defendant, and witness was so satisfied with his information, that he considered a trump him card, and introduced him to his family. The terms respecting the taking of the farm were then agreed to, and closed in the presence of Mr. Nokpa, solicitor, of Woolwich, on the 14th of May. Witness had made the inquiries named on the Ist of May. Witness had a piece of land adjoining the farm taken by the defendant, which excited the attention of the latter, and he said it contained first rate clay. for making bricks. Defendant represented himself well qualified to conduct a briek.making establishment, if 500/. was advanced for the purpose. He said 5.000/. a year might be cleared by it, and he would only charge 15 per cent. for his trouble. Witness at last agreed to advance the money for that purpose, and gave him a cheque for the amount on the evening of May the 14th. AbOut three weeks after defendant said he wanted more capital, and. after considerable hesitation witness gave him 500/. more. Both in April and May defendant represented himself as having letive of absence from the regiment, and sale he could stay away as long as he pleased. When he (witness) parted with the money, he thought he was dealing with a man of the highest honour, else he should not have advanced it. He believed the statements made to him to be decidedly true, else the cheques would not have been givon. Immediately after he had introduced the defendant to his family, he met with a Miss Douglass, who was on a visit from Glasgow. During these visits defendant talked a great deal of his services in the army; he said he had been present at the taking of Caubul, where he had been wounded. Shortly after this witness, at the desire of the defendant, went into Scotland, into Berwick shire, to get a house belonging to the latter in order. which he said he was getting r'ady to accommodate a friend of his, Capt. Bourke, the son of an officer very high in command in Ireland. Witness pt t himself at great expense in getting the house in order, after which he went to Glasgow, where he met with defendant, at the house of Miss Douglass's father. where he appeared in full military uniform. It was the uniform c.f the sth Dragoons in which he was equipped as far as he could judge. Mr. Douglass subsequently discovered that the defendant was not what lie had represented him self to be. Mr. BALLANTINE crofs-examined the witness at some length, during which the Learned Gentleman brought forward certain pa pers which he alleged were signed by the prosecutor. The witness, however, denied that the signatures were his, but forgeries, and pest in several genuine papers, founded on the transactions between the defendant and himrelf, for their Lordships and the jury to compa Ye. During the course of the cross.examination no point was elicited that mater ally affected the examination in chief. The point was strongly pres.. , ed by the Learned Counsel that the cause why the present charge was pressed forward was because the defendant re fined to deliver up certain letters which he had received from Miss Douglass. Witness admitted that on one occasion he stated if the letters were given up he would withdraw the charge, as so doing would save him very great expense. Witness denied that Mr. Douglass had anything to do with the present prosecution ; all the expense was borne by himself. Mr. Taunton-, valuer at Woolwich, dedesed that he introduced the defendant .to. ceptain,Wockd_ as, Ca> Rom*, kkirepton. Captain Woori told witness that be had a farm to let, and in con sequence he introduced the defendant as a tenant. The defendant was living with his daughter at the time, but he could not swear that they were married. Cross-ersmined—He had known the defendant for some time, but only as Mr. Munilton. In consequence of something which witness's daughter told him he was induced to introduce him to Captain Wood as Captain Rowan Hamilton. Re-examined—He never had known him under the name of Dr. Ay tnn. He formerly believed that his daughter had been married to him, but latterly be had been led to believe that they were not married. William Nokea, solicitor, Woolwich, was next 'xamined—He received instructions from Capt. Wood on the 7th of April to pre pare an agreement for leasing a farm to the defendant. Capt. Wood introuuced the prisoner as Capt. Rowan Hamilton, of the Dragoon Guards. Upon this witness asking him if he would describe him in the lease as of the Dragoon Guards, he told him not to do so, as he was not then on military business, but that he resided at Duchess- street, Portland- place. Capt. Wood was here called, and identified the cheques. George I'aylor, clerk in the banking-house of Sir Claude Scott, deposed to a cheque for 5001., dated the 15th of Ni ty, and drawn by Captain Wood, having been presented by the defendant, the amount of which was transferred to his account, he having opened an account with the bank at this time. Another cheque of 5001., dated the 3d of Julie, was presented in a similar manner, drawn by the prosecutor and transferred to the defendant's account. John Church, of 67, Great Portland-street, examined—He re membered dining at Captain W.,ocri house on the 2d of June. The defendant was present, and was introduced as a captain in the army. Witness aft, r dinner was left alone for some time with the defendant, when some converste ion arise on military affairs. Wit. ness made some remarks abut the Mirines and Royal Artillery, when the defendant said, s I do not belong to either, I belong to the sth Dragoon Guards." . . John Ilaines, of No. I, Dean-street S , ho, said that he knew the defendant. He occupied a portion of his house for near upon three years. He left about six or eight m , nths ago. He was known during the three years as Dr. Robinson Ayton. George Douglass examined—Said he resided in Glasgow. In the months of May and June last his daughter was on a visit to Captain Woo I. This examination was proceeding, but at the suggestion of the Court it was stopped as unnecessary to the ease. Captain Arthur Hamilton, late of the sth Dragoon Guards, de. posed that he had held the commission of csptain in that regiment, but retired a month ago. He had a brother a lieutenant In the same regiment. This ctoscd the case for the prosecution. Mr. BALLANTINE adiressel the jury in an able and ingenious speech in favour of the prisoner, in which he contended that, though the prisoner might have a.:ted imprudently, there was no evi.ience to show that he had been actuated by dishonest intentions. • He had invested a consid.•rable portion of the money received in the brick-making estahl , shment, and had a balance at his banker's, thus showing that his intentions at least were honourable. - The LORD CIIIEF BARON summed up the case at great length, dwelling minutely on every point of the evidence ; and 1 The jury immediately returned a verdict of Guilty. His Lottusim., addressing the prisoner, said that, after a lengthened investigation, he had been found guilty of raising money under false pretences, having represented himself to be what he really was not. There were no extenuating circumstances in the case, and his sentence would therefore be, that he be transported beyond the seas for the term of seven years. The verdict gave evident satisfaction to a crowded Court. b7W CMIRT. TV. Pearce, a plumber, and R. Knight, labourer, were charged with stewing 511 b. of lead, the property of Mrs. Smith, plumber. Mrs. Smith's foreman sent them to finish a job, giving them what lead he thought necessary—as much as was required for the work—but the men returned to say there was a deficiency of lead. Suspicion of the truth of this led the foreman to have the men taken into custody, when lead was found tied with strings about their persons under their cllthes. The jury found them Guilty, and they were sentenced to four months' hard labour. Thomas White, a young man of rather genteel appearance, about 25 years of age, was charged with stealing 16 silver spoons, and sugar tongs, from the house of Henry John Stafford. The prisoner called at Mr. Stafford's house on the 14th Sep tember, with a letter urging Mr. Stafford to communicate without delay, on business of importance, with persons unknown to the prosecutors. Next morning, the 15th, prisoner called again with a letter, pretending increased anxiety in the persons named in the former letters, to see Mr. Stafford. Mrs. Stafford's servant left White in a room where the plate lay, which, after a short time, was missed. Two pawnbrokers from Fleet-street attended to prove having had the property pledged by the primmer on the 15th September. l'he pawnbroker's duplicates were produced, found on the person of the prisoner. The case was clear; the jury had no difficulty in convicting White on the charge. He was sentenced to seven years' transportation. Thomas Higgins and B. Jones, Irishmen, were indicted for stealing clothes from the Greenwich Union workhouse. They had been admitted on the evening of the 26th of September, and were sent to bed at the usual time, in a room which overlooks one of the refractory wards. During the night the attention of one of the oilicers of the house was attracted to the ward in question, by movements as of some persons there. Higgins and Jones were both found in the privy In the ward in question; to get to which they had ascended from the window of the sleeping room, about nine feet from the ground. When the officer found them there, Jones, lie saw, had on a black coat, not his own, proved to be the property of one of the inmates, and b, hind each of them a bag of clothes. The bags were secured, and while a c.mstable was being called in, they vvre separately locked up. When the officer with the constable re turned to Higgins, the reduced size of the latter showed that his short confinement had been singularly effective. On being locked up his own coat was buttoned closely up, so as to hide whatever he wore beneath. There was a water-closet in this place of tem porary confinement, which suspicion led the officer to examine, and there he found two jackets, two shirts, a bonnet, and a pair of shoes. The prisoners were both convicted, and sentenced to four months' imprisonment and hard labour.

On Friday Mrs. Clarke, the wife of a housekeeper in Peahen court, was summoned before the Lord Mayor for having used language calculated to lead to a breach of the peace. From the statement of a housekeeper, named Wakefield,' who resides next door to the defendant's house, it appeared that Mrs. Clarke, who was, when sober, an exceeduvly well conducted lady, and particularly delicate in her language, became so completely transformed by a few glasses of gin, that even the coarsest men were put to flight by " the valour of her tongue." It was usual with her to get drunk two, if not three, days in the week, and during the whole time the neighbours were' obliged to undergo the infliction of her abuse, which was not at all the more agreeable for being uttered in a thick Cork brogue, that gave peculiar expression to the naughty words arising from her excitement. When expostulated with, she uniformly referred the individual who addressed her to certain parts of her person wholly incapable of giving any information, and she said the Lord Mayor night apply to the same authority if he wished to know anything about her. The Loup MAYOR—WeII, Mrs. Clarke, this is a very bad account that I-hear of you. • The .complainant--I do assure you, my Lord, that a better behaved woman is not alive, until she gets her whack of liquor. Her husband,_ too, is a nice respectable man as ever was. and so is her children, clean, and decent, and quiet. Mrs. Clarke—On, then, God knows I am all that myself, too. But you see, my Lord, this Mr. Wakefield is offinded because I sometimes laugh when I see his daughter, that he brings up to shaving, at work with the great fellows' beards. The complainant—Your Lordship, she swears that she is the only married woman in the whole court, and she calls all the proper women there by the names they most of all dislike. But its all'the consequence of the lush she takes. Mrs. Clarke—l don't deny that I take a little drop now and then, please your Lordship, but the thruth is, I'd be more respectable if I'd take more. The Loan MAYOR—What, more drink? Mrs. Clarke—Yes, your Lordship, I'd be quieter.—(A laugh.) But, faith, all this comes of Mr, Wakefield's daughter shaving the men. Sure nobody ever before saw a girl lather ing a fellow with a beard as black as the d-1, and then taking him by the nose and going over his face with a razor. Its because I can't stand that that he 'appears against me. The Loun MAYOR—The least I can fine you for such dis orderly conduct is ten shillings, or seven days' imprisonment. Mrs. Clarke—Oh, faith, I'll pay the money. Jane Bailey, a married woman, who resides in the same neighbourhood, charged' Mrs. Clarke - with having compli mented her to the fall as much as she had complimented the complainant in the former case. Here several persons implored the Lord Mayor to endea vour to cure the poor woman of the evil of drunkenness. If his Lordship would only administer a remedyfor that abo mination, be would have a blessing for it; for she was a worthy woman. Mrs. Clarke—Please you my Lord, won't you hear my witness? The LORD MATOR-13y all means. Mrs. Clarke—Come forward, Paddy. Witness-0 faith, then, here I am'. The LORD MAYOR—Now, witness, did you sea Mrs. Clarke Thursday, Friday, and Saturday Witness—Sure enough I did. The'LORD MAirott—ln what condition was she? Witness—Oh, upon my word she was quite comfortable. The LORD MAYOR—Upon your oath, was she sober on any one of those days? Witness— Win , then, upon my conscience, I don't believe she was.—(Laughter. ) Witness—Tlease your Lordship its the only fault she has in the world. Oh then, good luck to you, and take it into consideration. The LORD MAYOR—I am taking it into consideration. I am sorry to see a female who is, when sober, well•behaved and unexceptionable in her conduct, descend to the brutality of drunkenness. I shall not fine you money for the second offence, I shall try what the wholesome discipline of a prison will do, awl sentence you to imprisonment for seven days. Mrs:Clarke—Perhaps you will let a fine do. I'll pay a fine, my Lord, if you like. Put on another ten shillings. The LORD MAYOR—NO, I calculste that you will have a good opportunity of tasting the comfort of sobriety. I pro mise you that you shall come out perfectly sober, and I hope you will derive a lasting advantage fiom your visit to prison. The prisoner was then committed for seven days Philip Barrett, a journeyman tailor, was charged with having illegally pawned the materials for several garments, the property of Morris Moses, of No. 87, Tower-hill, and also with having illegally pawned similar materials, the property of Elis Moses, of Aldgate. The value of the goods was con siderable. It was clearly proved that he had pawned the articles in both cases. The LORD 3IAYoz, in conjunction with Sir JOHN PIRIE, at to adjudicate, and asked the prisoner what he had to say? The prisoner pleaded misfortu .e, and said that if time was granted to him he would work out the whole of the expense. The LORD MAYOR said, that as the prisoner had carried on so wholesale a trade in dishonesty, an example must be made of him, and adjudged him to imprisonment for three months for the first offence, and on the expiration of the three months, to an additional imprisonment of three months, with hard labour, under the statutes 22d George 11., c. 27, and 17th George•lll., c.. 56. GUILDHALL. Mr. John Edward Rathbone, the secretary of the Leicester and Tamworth Junctign Railway, attended before Mr. Alder man John Son, the Lord Mayor Elect, to answer the com plaint of Mr. Lewis, of the firm of Lewis and Lowe, adver tising agents, for assatilting him on applying to the defendant respecting the settlement of the account. Mr. Horry, the barrister, detailed the circumstances at some length, and described the assault as. one of a rather serious character. _ , Mr. Lewis, of Castle-court, Cornbill, eeposed that he had an account against the above-mentioned Company for ad-' vertisements published in various newspapers. After re peated applications for paynient, he on Wednesday last received cheque drawn for 4061.05. 6d., the full amount of his bill, signed by Edmund Peel and two of the directors, but altered to the sum of 8001. Witness inquired about the uliFilue at the banking-house, and finding it would not be paid on account of the alteration, not being verified by the initials of the three gentlemen who had signed the cheque, witness waited upon the secretary at the offices, in Coleman-street. Witne;s was accompanied by his clerk, and they were shown into the secretary's private room. De fendant said, " Well, you have got your cheque." Witness said, " Yes, but it is of no use. The Committee drew it for the full amount, but you have altered it to 3001., and your bankers will not pay it." Defendant replied, "They will not pay you, of course, because it is crossed." Witness said he was aware of that, and had inquired if it would be paid when it came through his banker. It was refused because the alteration was not recognised by the three drawers. The defendant called a clerk, acid dispatched him to the bankers to say that the cheque was all right. and that he had altered it. Witness remained to hear the result, and said if payment was refused, he hqped it would not be inconvenient to give him another Cheque. Defendant replied that could not be done for six weeks. Mr. Peel was now ill, and Mr. Harris had gone to Italy. At this moment a head poked in at the Board-room door announced to the Secretary that Mr. Villiers, the Deputy Chairman, wished to speak with him. Witness observed that he should like to speak with the Deputy Chairman about the cheque ; lie would be a proper person to see upon his business. Defendant said he could not be detained then, coin plainant must leave; he should not see the Deputy Chair man. 'Witness said Mr. Villiers was the best person to see to overcome the difficulty. The defendant said he should not see him, and peremptorily ordered him to leave, at the 'same time catching hold of him and swinging him half round. Witness again pressed to see Mr. Villiers. Defend ant replied, "- you shall go, or I will turn you out;'' and catching hold of his collar with one hand, and witness's right hand (in which the cheque was), tried to remove him, but failed. Defendant seemed to want to get the cheque. .Defendant released him to lay down a paper knife, with I which he had cut complainant's hand. Defendant renewed the attempt to force him out with greater violence. Defend ant seized him by the throat, and by pressing his thumb on complainant's gullet, and tightening his stock, almost strangled him. Witness felt the blood rush up into his head, and was reduced to gasping for breath. H. felt the injury he then received very severely still. Witness struggled and got away from him. The -defendant then rushed to the fire-place, seized the poker, and again got hold of his collar, and holding the poker over his head, cried out, "I'll split your skill', and knock your - brains out, if you do not go." Witness called out " Murder !" till a dozen per-ions rushed in from the adjacent offices. A policeman came, but he refused to take charge of the defendant. ' Mr. Huson, the defendant's solicitor, said by the com plainant's own showing nothing would have happened to him if he had quitted the room, as he ought to have done, upon tieing so peremptorily required to do so. The LORD MAYOR elect said of course no violence would have been used if he had left the place voluntarily; but his staying would not justify the extredte violence the secretary had resorted to. Mr. Huson observed that when Mr. Lewis refused to leave, Mr. Rathbone attempted to put Hirt out, Mr. Lewis's clerk I I attacked him, and he was obliged to seize the poker to defend him , elf. Mr. Horry said Mr. Lewis's statement was otherwise, and his clerk could confirm it. 11fr. Rathbone begged to explain one point. The cheque was altered before Mr. Edmund Peel affixed his signature. On the biard-day witness exhibited the account and prepared the cheque; but in consequence of the Chairman see►ng in a newspaper then on the table, something about advertising agents' bills, he suggested the alteration of the cheque, that 3001. should be paid on account, and the account subjected to a strict inquiry. The LORD .IAYOR elect said he should send this case to the sessions, but the parties Would be at liberty to settle their differences together in the interim. He hound Mr. Rathbone to appear at the next London sessions. • Edward Blake, one of the express boys employed by The sun newspaper to deliver newspapers in the City, was charged with seriously injuring John Langton, aged 15, the son of Mr. Langton, a butcher, in Eastcheap. Mr. Neil Drununo , .d, of the Adelaide, a gentleman con nected with the Great Leeds Railway, stated that he was in Newgate-street, about six o'clock the previous evening, and saw the defendant ride off on horseback at a furious pace to the Post-office. He nearly rode over a gentleman at the crossing, and fifty yards further on he knocked down the lad Langton. The father of the lad said he was labouring under symp toms of concussion of the brain, and was considered to be doing well, but not out of danger. The defendant said he was much pressed for time. The lad crossed out just before him from behind a cart, and therefore neither of them saw the other in time to prevent the accident. He was very sorry fir it. The LORD MAYOR elect observed, that however he might be pressed for time, he must not endanger the public. He remanded him till Monday, in the hope that by that time Langton would be out of danger. BOW-STREET. Excess OF LOYALTY.—Archibal7lClinepbell, a naval officer on half pay, having only one arm, was brought before Mr. Twyford, charged with being drunk and disorderly in front of Buckingham Palace, and throwing his cap, which was trimmed with a gold band, at her Majesty's state pages as they were alighting from the carriage. Inspector Ilowit, A division, who does duty at the Palace, stated that about four o'clock on Thursday afternoon, shortly af;er the Queen rwurned from Lincoln's Inn, he observed the prisoner, who was acting in a very boisterous manlier, and surrounded by a crowd, make an attempt to enter the southern gate, but was prevented, and taking off his cap he threw it at the window of one of the carriages which had just driven up. Mr. TWYFORD inquired if it was done for the purpose of insulting any of the attendants, or as an exhibition of exul tation? The Inspector replied that the prisoner was drunk, and took deliberate aim at the persons in the carriage. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said that, according to the account given by the officer, he had intended to haVe committed an offence, which was not the case; but he was induced to act in the manner described to show his love for her Majesty at the impulse of the moment. Inspector Russell, A. division, said that the prisoner had been.-repeatedly in custody for drunken and disorderly con duct ; and, notwithstanding his being disabled, there was great difficulty to' manage him at the station-house. Mr. TIVICIORD said that it was a most disorderly mode of exhibiting what the prisoner termed a love for the Queen, and ordered him to pay a fine of 205., or go to prison for seven days. RAILWAY PROJECTORS.—Simon , Rendell, No. 11, Cle ment's Inn, solicitor, and. Lennox Horne, 78, Wimpole street, Cavendish -square, the registered proprietors of the important Economic Railway - Traction by the Leviathan Air engine, intended to be adopted by the Shrewsbury, Chester, and Crewe Junction Railway Company, were summoned to answer a complaint preferred against them by Charles Barry Baldwin, Esq , M.P , " for that they on the 27th of Octobtr did make a certain false pretence, knowing the same to be false, in an advertisement printed and published in a cir cular purporting to be a prospectus of the important Eco nomic Hallway 'fraction by the Leviathan Air-engine in tended to be adopted by the Shrewsbury, Chester, at d Crewe Junction Railway Company for completing a direct comnm nication between Bristol and Liverpool, which said pretence was as follows :—That . the said Chas. Barry Bald win, Esq., M.P., was, by the name and description of C. B. Baldwin, Esq., M.P., of Parliament-street, one of the Provi sional Committee of the said Company." The complainant, after remaining a short time on the bench, left the Court. • A Solicitor's Clerk, who appeared for Mr. Rendell, to hive the case postponed to a future day, as the de fendant was at present at Chester on railway business.. The Solicitor who attended to prefer the charge said he had no 'objection to an adjournment on such grounds, and the parties left the Goutt. • GfiEENIVICIL Muunitrious AssAtTur.- 7 Emanuel Todd, • a young man, about 25 years of tig..„ having the appearance of a respectable mechanic, was charged with the serious offence of cutting and maiming a young woman, named Diary Hensler. The prosecutrix, whose head was bandaged up, and her eyes covered by a large green shade, was led into Court, and deposed that on Thursday, the 22d of October, she and her husband had a few words respecting the prisoner's sister, of whom she admitted she was jealous, The prisoner lived with a girl named Cox, at the house of her husband's father, in Bridge street, Greenwich. Witness's husband having struck her, she rushed into the house where the girl Todd was, and inflicted summary vengeance on her. The pri soner, who was sitting on a chair by the fire, got up to inter fere, and prevent his sister being struck by witness, and pushed her away. lie then sat down, when she rushed up to him, seized him by the hair and struck his head against the wall several times. Daring this the prisoner seized the poker, and gave her a violent blow across the eyes, abso lutely cutting one out, which lay upon her cheek until re placed in the socket by a surgeon. The sight of her eye was gone for ever. The evidence of the prosecutrix, was fully bOrne out by the testimony of the prisoner's sister, Ellen Todd, and that of another girl, 'named Louis Cox. Mr. Dashwood, surgeon,.Greenwich, deposed that he was called upon to attend the prosecutrix. The eve was torn completely out. The curbed point of the instrument had caught the outer part of the orbit, throwing the eye along the cheek, and kept it so merely by the ligatures. Had the weapon caught the orbit inwardly, it would most probably have been attended with fatal consequences. The sight was totally gone, and the sight of the other eye, he believed, was irreparably injured. The prisoner offered no defence. Mr. JEREMY slid, this was a case resulting, unfortunately, from mere uncontrolled passion. The prosecutrix had partly brought this on herself by her attack on the prisoner; and although he might have resented such attack, and been quite justified in so doing, he had no right to use such an unlawful weapon. He should commit the prisoner for trial, but allow him to put in bail until the next sessions. LAMBETH. LOAX SOCIETIES. —A decent-looking, female applied to Mr. Henry for his advice under the following circumstances: The applicant stated that some time ago she became se curity at a loan society in the Southwark Bridge-road for 51., which the borrower was to pay by weekly instalments. The payments were kept up until the sum borrowed was paid all but seven shillings, but the borrower having neglected to pay the last instalment., she (the applicant) was served with a writ of action for the whole of the 51., though V. 13s. had actually been paid. She had been told by the " lawyer" who had served the writ upon her, that she was liable to the pay ment of the whole debt, and fearing that her furniture, for which she had worked hard, would 132 swept away from her for the debt and expenses, she wished to take his Worship's advice as to what she had best do, and also to ask whether, after she had tendered the seven shilling's, which was all that was left of the debt unpaid, she was liable to be proceeded against? Mr. HENRY repl'ed that the case was one in which he had no jurisdiction whatever, the loan society people having chosen to proceed against her in another court; therefore he could not give her anv advice on the suhiect. DREADFUL SHIPWRECK OF A HULL AND HAMBURGH STEAMER By the General Stem Navigation Company's steam-ship Nep tune, Capt. Whittingham, commander, which arrived at Blackwall on Wednesday afternoon from Hamburgh, intelligence was received in the City of the shipwreck and loss of one of the Hull and Ham burgh stevners, called the Margaret, commanded by Captain Raw linson, actro.npanied by a great loss of life. From the few parti. culars that have been brought over, it appears that during the vrho'e of last week the coast was visited b" a most fearful storm, the wind blowing a continual gale from the north to the north welt; and the destruction among the coasting-traders is stated to have been very great. The Margaret steamer left Hamburg'', for the port of Hug on Frid ty , the 19th instant, having her usual number of passengers and a full c rgo of merchandise, the weather at the time of her departure being what is termed moderate. By the time she had arrived of Cuxhaven, near , the mouth of the Elbe, it was blowing a gale from the north-west, but the captain thinking it would not be of any duration,. the pilot left the vessel" at that port, and she proceeded on her passage. and was last seen from Heligoland, passing through the usual track. Nothing further was beard of her until Sunday morning last, when the General Steam Navigation Company's steamer Neptune, on the point of starting with the mails from Norden, learned that the' unfortunate steamer had been wrecked oil' that coast, and that sixteen of the passengers and three of the crew had perished with her. From another source it has been ascertained that the ill.fated vessel, after leaving Heligoland, cool!, in consequence of the gale, have only made lee way, and eventually, it is supposed, she was driven on a dangerous sand, called the Memmett, near Juist, at the eastern entrance of the river Meinm. According to the accounts, she struck before day. break on the morning of the 22d, and, therefore must have been encountering the gale for three days. It appears that the moment she took the shoal the sea, which was running terribly high, swept several persons overheard. The long boat was launched, and attempts were made to reach the shore, but owing to its crowded state and the violent serf, it capsized, and every soul in it met with a watery grave. Those who re mained on board the vessel, after being exposed to the most sever . . privation for a number of hours, were saved. The steamer became a complete wreck, but as the tide receded, considerable quantities of her cargo were got out of her hold. The Vivid steamer, which reached London.bridge on Wednesday evening from Hull, reports that when he left the Humber fears were enter tained, from the length of time the Margaret was over due, that some accident . had happened to her. The Queen of Scotland steamer had arrived at Hull from Hamburgh before the Vivid left, and had seen nothing of the Margaret, although she did not start from Hamburgh until some time after her. The Queen of Scotland, it appears, met with a most boisterous passage, and a number of oxen which were on the deck were obliged to be thrown overboard for the better safety of the vessel. The Margaret was the property of Mr. Pinners, of Hull, by whom she was built some years ago. She was of about 250 tons burden, rigged as a three. mast schooner, and was worked by a screw propeller, being the first vessel of the description that has been engaged as a passenger vessel from that port. She had a very rakish appearance, and from the quantity of canvass she carried, was considered a perfect clipper. Within a few miles of the spot where the Margaret was lost, viz., of!' Norderney, a ship foundered about the same time, and every soul belonging to her was drowned. Another vessel, belonging to St, Petersburgh,. named the Mehala, was lost on the previous day on the same sands, and the captain and one of his crew perished. In addition to those deplorable disasters, the Ham. burgh Mall announces the loss of no fewer than nine other vessels on the Dutch coast during the storm. (From the Manchester Guardian.) We have received, from a friend at Hull, intelligence of a tre. mendous hurricane on Monday afternoon and Tuesday in last week, which seems to have been more violent and of greater duration than any experienced in the German Ocean for the last twenty years. We give the following from our correspondent's letter:— " The Transit, Himburgh steamer, arrived at Hull on Sunday morning I ,st, after enduring one of the heaviest gales perhaps ever experienced, having been obliged to throw overboard all the cattle she was bringing to Hull, 313 in number. The hurricane conti nued from Monday afternoon to Tuesday; but the gale was of much longer duration. It also appears that the Transit, having proceeded so sea for the second time, the weather became so tempestuous that the ship was obliged to face the storm, there being on this occa sion no possibility of returning. I cannot, however, do better than send you a copy of the letter transmitted home by the very intel ligent engineer of this steamer : " Cuxhaven, Oct 2'2, 1845. " Dear is with feelii:gs of thankfulness I am enabled to send you a line to ease the suspense that I know you will be in wish us being so late. I scarcely thought I should ever see you again ; but, thank God ! we are all safe and well. But, oh ! we have passed through an ordeal indeed. Never did any one imagine there could be such a sea running. When we left here on Friday we had a very heavy gale and had to bear up on Saturday night, and got coaled on Sunday night; and as the weather was more moderate, we proceeded to sea on Monday forenoon ; then is the afternoon came oil the hurricane, such as has not been known here for above twenty years. We kept her head to the sea, as it was impossible to turn back ; but when the storm-sail gave way, then commenced the work of destruction. The poor beasts we had on board (thirty-six in number) we were obliged to throw overboard to save ourselves; and fortunate we were in accomplishing this work when we did, or none would have been left to tell the tale. The poor animals seemed to have a foretaste of what we were obliged to do. Some went away like lambs to the slaughter, with a pitiful look as they went over the side; others resisted with all their might, clinging to us till the following sea smothered the ship and all. We passed a fearful night. We lost our best boat, and everything off the deck. We could not tell where we were, but the following day we were obliged to run, when fortunately, God be thanked, we found the island. H♦d we got near the lee shore, we could not have escaped, the sea running so high that we could not see the length of the ship. There is a fearful number of wrecks even in the river. Cuxhaven is nearly washed away.—Yours afft c.. tionately, " 6 Such is the description given cf this most destructive gale, the results of which may be anticipated. Losses, perhaps the most numerous for a long period, may be certainly looked for. The Queen of Scotland steamer, from liamburgh, arrived here on the 23d inst., having thrown 18 beasts overboard. The Margaret, Archimedean screw steamer, which left Namburgh on the 9th init., has not been heard of. It is feared that unless she has suc eeded in making the coast of Norway she has foundered. " THE ROYAL GEORGE.—On Sunday last Mr. Wit- Wm Gill, one of the last, if not the last, of the survivors of the crew of the Rival Gorge, died, aged 83, at his residence, Royston-street, St. John's-wood. The deceased escaped out of a port-hole, and leaped off the vesAel as it was ping down. Being an excellent swimmer he got clear of the eddy. and. was picked up by H.M.S. Ruby, 64, and was taken to Gi bralta, where, and in other places. he served his country The deceased has left a widow, aged 75 . or 78. The pension does nut; ve believe, extend to the widow. SIR ROBERT PEEL.—We regret to state that the ,Prernier is suffering from an attack of .gout in the feet, which pre -vented the Right Hon. Baronet being present at the opcning of the new hall and library, Lincoln's Inn, by her Majesty on Thuriday. The answer to inquiries in Whitehall-gardens was, that tStr liob9rt was better.

CAUTION TO RAILWAT GUARDS.—The Board of Directors of the Eastern Counties Railway have within the last week discharged two of their guards, of the names of Lawrence and Ayres. It will be recollected that about twelve days ago, a lady named Kembel, who entered one of the second-class carriages at Cambridge, was subjected to some very gross annoyances ; and on arriving at the Royston station she appealed to Ayres for protection, but instead of affording it, he pushed the applicant. As soon as the facts were laid before Mr. Dowling, the superintendent, Ayres was suspended, and upon the matter being brought before the Board of Directors, he was dismissed from the Company's service. In the other instance, upon one of the up trains arriving at the terminus at Shoreditch, an engine under the direction of Lawrence ran into the train; and although the collision was not attended with any serious injury beyond a few bruises to two or three of the passengers, which aro•e, according to Lawrence's account, from the train net exhibiting a light at the front carriage, it was considered advisable to send a report to Major-tleneral I asley, who considered that a great degree of ne , ellgence extsiedlon the part of Lawrence. The Directors, in accord ance with that opinion, discharged him. Au intimation, it is under stood, has been given to every person connected with the line that • the most stringent orders will be carried out for tthhee ,pftasituserhe,geamnles..itt pec eve irayl 1 y it i t s r t e a , n h ee where fehiales any , o ran c y o i a m m i l r t o n p it ri i e s t utail y et, by or.
