DEANS, Registrar of Bank Returns. Wen(' Revenue, fmnerset Lime, August 24, 1830. 9,580 GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. The half-yearly ordinary general meeting of the shareholders of the Great Northern Railway Com pany took place yesterday, at the London Tavern, for the purpose of receiving a report from the directors ; of confirming the forfeiture of certain shares to be then declared on which calls are in arrear, the re quired notices of the forfeiture of which have been given to the respective proprietors ; of submitting for the opinion of the shareholders an agreement with the York and North Midland Railway Company, for running over the lines of that company into York, in lieu of constructing the remainder of the Great Northern Line from Aslierne to York, as sanctioned by Parliament ; and upon other the general business of the company. E. B. Denison. D , q., M.P., took the chair, and the usual formal business of the company having been gone through, The SECRETARY read the folio wing report " At the last half-yearly meeting the directors stated their expectation that the lino between London and Pe terborough would he opened for traffic: in the month of August. That expectation his been realised by that portion of the line having been opened on the 7th of this month, thereby affording a new and cononuous route from the metropolis, by Peterborough to Boston and Hull; by Lincoln and Retford to Sheffield; by a , ncaster to Wakefield, Leedn York, and the Northern Counties of England, and to Scotland; the distatice by this route, from London to Hull, being now 1735- miles, including the ferry; to York 210 miles; the cbetence saved between London and York being 9 miles, between London nod Peterborough, and London and Lincoln, nearly 20 miles. " The directors did not consider it proper, at the opening of the line from London, t run exerese trains, or to carry merchandise or minerals upon it; but arrange ments have been made to run express trains on the 2d of September; and to commence the carriage of merchan dise and minerals as soon as the necessary accommoda tious are complete, which will be the case in the course of a few weeks. Under these circumstance, the oirec tors did not expect that any considerable addition to the weekly receipts would immediately follow the opening of the line from London. The receipts for traffic over the 222 miles now open, for the week eliding the 18th iron, were 5,7011., but this does not afford sufficient data for the formation of a correct estimate of the amount of' traffic over the whole line when the arrangements now in progress are carried out, and which must be very ma'e rially increased when tne remaining portion of the Down's line is completed. " The lease of the Royston and Flitchin Railway to the Great Northern has been settled, and that line, to be worked by the Great Northern Company, will be opened for traffic in a few weeks. " It will be the object of the directors to develope the local traffic of the districts traversed by the main line and loop, and to afford the utmost facilities for the in terchange and transmission of traffic frerra and to the lines cf other cornpanie-; communicating therewith. And they have pleasure iu stating that arrangements are in progress to carry out these views, and to avoid all pre tence for irjurious competition bete.een the Great Nor thern aad other corupanier. The directors regret that differences should have aciren between them anti the di rectors of ,the Manchester, Sheffield, anti Liecolushire Company, in regard to the agreements entered into - tween the two companies, under date of the 7th April and 13th May, 1848. The directors of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Company having failed to observe the con ditione of those agreerneuts, and having in various ways impeded the Great Northern traffic in goods and can sengei s between Lincoln anal Retford, and between Grimsby and the New 1' ;:fiend Ferry for Hull, it be came necessary to appeal to :au Court of Chancery to colorer, on the part of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Company, the due performance of those agreemtnte; and ihe Court having recognised their va ltdity, the directors confineutly expect that the interrup tions refearce to will not be rep-anal. " The short branch of the York and North Midland Railway from Knuttingley to Bartell Salmon has been opened fir trailer; and the directors of that company having offered the use of their line frem Knoftineley to York, aad of teeir station at York to the Great Northern Company, on terms which your directors consider to be fair and equitable, an agreement has been entered into with that couspeey, which will be fully explemed to the meeting, and which agreement your directors conceive it will be for the advantage of both companies to carry out. " Since the half-yearly meeting in February - latt, the works un the Town's hue have been let on more favour able t ems than were anticipated, and the directors are still of opinion that, any tut Cher capi al required exci'ed the amount mentioned at the meeting in 'ebruary last—about 300,0001. " By the Leeds Central Swim Act the Great Northern Company has power to nine the sum of 106,6661. for the purposes therein contemplated. As a porno Ll of this saw has been already advanced and paid by the directors cut of ihe Great Not thorn funds, a re• solution will be submitted to the mat-ting to empower the directors to raise that capital under the Act autho rising the same on such terms, in such manner, and at such time as they shall deem most advisable. n After due notice given, the directors have declared the forfeiture of these shares on which calls are in arrear, and in respect of which proceedings were taken against the proprieters, chiefly in Scotland. n The directors recommend that this mei tine confirm the forfeiture; and that the shares so forteite.l ba con verted into Five per C. nt. Perpteual Preference Shares, of 121. 10s. each, with power to the directors to dispose of them on such terms and in such manner as they shall consider most conducive to the interests of the cempany. " The question of audit having been left entirely in the • hands of the three gentlemen nominated for that pur pose at the last meeting of the proprietors, the directors have only to refer to their report which is annexed, and to recommend the payment of the printing expenses in curred by them. " The annexed report of the engineer describes the state of tee works in progress, and the present condi tion of the line, which the directors consider to be highly satisfactory. They have every reason to believe that all the unfinished works, including the passenger station at King's-cross, will be ready for public traffic by the end of next year, when the advantages expectant on the completion of tire entire scheme will be attainable; and by means of the main trunk line, the route from London to Sheffield and Wakefield respectively, will be reduced 16 miles; to Leeds, 22 miles; and to York, 30 miles." The following report of the auditors was also read : " The audit delegates, Messrs. Orr, Green, and Nash, appointed at the last meeting, prepared a report of their proceedings up to the in:roduction of an Audit Bill by Lord Stanley, in March last. Copies of that report can be obtained at the statien, King's. cross. The difference between the measures of the Government and Lord Stanley was, whether the accounts were to be audited by a power emanating from the companies exclusively, or by extraneous authority. " Your delegates watched the progress of the mea sures throughout the session. Occ• , since their former report, they were called upon by the delegation to ex press an opinion upon the new Bill promoted by Go vernment, introducing an independent element in the audits: The Committees of the Lords inviiriably refuse to hear shareholders on questions affecting them. " Ultimately both measures failed, inasmuch as neither the Government nor the delegates would yield to talon other'a measures. " The delegates consider that some necessary amend ments of the existing law could be effected, to give the pubic an assurance that shareholders have that real eontrol owl., and voice in, the audit of their affairs, which would destroy that excuse fur Government inter ference. Your delegates consider t ' - their functions might cease. They h a ve i ncurre d no expenses beyond a ttifiting sum for printing, which the shareholders will, perhaps, feel justified in re p It therefore re mains with the ehsreholders to pursue whist course they think proper," The following is the report of, the engineer to the company, which was ulso read : "TO THE MARC MRS OF THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY. "6, Great George-streer, Westminster, Aug. en. "Geatlernen,—ln reporting another half-year's pro gress to you, I am happy in being able to say tnat the expectaioes I held out to you in Februitry last, re lative to the time of opening from Lendon to Peterbo rough, and t, tee commencement of the loop, have been realised—that portion of the line having been opened to public tr.ffic on the 7th of this.moeth. Trio works aro ampk , in dimensions. eubitantial and permanent in construvion, an I are throughout in a state which is pertectly satisfactory to ire. At prt sent, pa,- senger trains only are ru , ning, owieg to the w ution ar rangemenEs not being suffi •iently forward tor aolvan tageous reception of merchandise, coal-, cattle, &c.; but the works connected with ttiee arranvements are in a state of active progre , 4s. Several of these stations will be ready fur this traffic in the middle of Septi-mber, and the whole of them, I exrct, by the middle of October. " On the Town's line the works on the corr,racts re cently let to Messrs. Pearce and Smith, and Messrs. Oldham, have but ju,t cmlnni-nc,d, owing sorely to the delay which appears ins.-parable froth the proccedinp necesary for getting possession of the required land. I am now, however, almost daily receiving la. g.. portions of the properties, and Expect very shortly t, Lave the works in vigorous operation. " The portion of this line which is under contract to Mr. Jackson, and which is by far the heaviest, is pro ceeding at all the principal p.ints in a rapid and very satisfactory manner. A large plant and strong force or men are at work upon each of the cuttings, and good progress making with the tunnels at Stoke and Post cliff°, as well as with the bridge building throughout the contract " The works on the loop line and on the main line from Rettnrd to Askerne, continue in a sound and satis factory stare, and the lino in good order.—l have the honour to be, gentlemen, your obedi , n t servant, Frain the statement of th e accounts it oSEPH appeu CUßl r 4 d TT that the total 4 xpenditure on capital acc , But, up to 29th June last, was shown to have been 6 392,9621. 116.84.; balance in:eash, 232,163/. 14z4.; and the ano.unt invested in shares ending a n 7d o 2 : 3n b g, 4 e r O2 79 1 :143J Julie, e ,: ira g e: O e / s6 . tstio, l otn 2 a6d o l6;ll: 2 ci l lis: sie ; p:, m s; 4 } i t a.3. l; r 4 5 : 71. g :33h: 4: e l h t lw o a : ol;:r.: t k3 : i l ed e na. r gr: expense, including leaving a balance of 24 .1921.18%10d. he net revenue account showed a balance of 7.9001.

He (the Chairman) had gone over the line, arid as far as he was concerned he thought it was one of the best constructed lines of railway in the kingdom.—(Har, hear.) Satisfactory progress was making at the station at King's-cross. Since the last meeting the directors had selected a general manager end a locomotive superintendent. For the first they had selected Mr. Seymour Clarke, who had been for many years with the Great Western Railway Company, and fur the latter office Mr. Stur- . ruck, and it was his firm belief that b o th th ose gentle men were likely to turn out most valuable servants to the company, and he W 4.8 happy to say that the salary of both those gentlemen did not amount to the sum that had been given to one previous officer of the company. A PROFRILTOR wished to know what were the salaries to be given to those officers. The CHAIRMAN said that the salary of Mr. Seymour Clarke would be 9001. a year, aad that of Mr. Scar ruck 5001. The CHAIRMAN resumed, and having gone into a long statement of the liabilities and prospects of the and referred to the agreement entered into with the York and North Midland, stated that if the pro prietors would enable them to rai,e from 300,0001. to 500,0001. the whole of the works might be completed. The Chairman concluded by moving the adoption of the report. Mr. CLOUGH, a banker at York, moved the follow- Lig amendment :-- " Tnat the directors postpone their proposal of abando,ing the line beyond Askerne, and that a cir cular be issued to each of the shareholders, requesting them to give their vote in writing as to the abandon ment of that portion of the line between Askerne and York, and that three directors and three of those to its completion in it s i ntegr i ty prepare the circular, to be issued by the s ecretary a x t h e same time friendly sthe report of the meeting ; the voting paper to he returned to the secretary by the 30ch of Sep tember. Those not returning their papers to be con sidered neutral." Mr. WATERS seconded the amendment. He be lieved that in abandoning the line between Askerne and York the directors were adopting one of the most suicidal acts that could pessibly be conceived, and it was one of these unfortunate acts for which rail way di rec tors were notorious.—(Laughter.) Mr. HUGHES suggested an adjournment of the con sideration of the question of the adoption of the agreement. The CHAIRMAN felt it to be his duty to press the question to a division of the meeting, believing that the egreettent would be highly beneficial to the shareholders, and that the adjournment of its adoption would be dangerous to the interests of the company. He should persist in moving the adoption of the re port in all its integrity. The CHAIRMAN, in answer to a question from a shareholder, said that by the agreement the North Midlend were bound to send their traffic on the Great Northern Line; if they did not do so that was their look out, and not the present compny's. After some considerable :•tormy and irregular dis cussion, and after Mr. I.3igster, the solicitor of the company, had explaine,d the provisions of the agree ment by which the Great Northern Company con s?nted to forego the prosecution of the line from A-kerne to Ye: k, and stated that the company had power to run over the Lancashire line— The CHAIRMAN, in replying, stated that be felt convinced that if the proprietors compelled the di rectors to make the line to York it would cost them 500,000/., and added to this, they would make an in fluential comp an y, t h at was now th e i r f r i en d, t h e i r enemy .—(11t ar , hear.) The CHAIRMAN then put the amendment of Me. Clough to the meeting, and declared, upon a show of hat d-, that it was lost, there being only eleven hands held up fur it, and en initneme number against it. • Mr. Ceounta submitted that a vote of the share holders ought to be taken upon it, us they had been taken by surprise. The CHAIRMAN denied that such had been the case, and stared tont the notice to the proprietors of the intention of the dircc'ors to submit the agreement to the meeting bad been given some time since. Tne CHAIRMA-N then declared the amendment to be negatived. and put the original motion for the adop tion of the report, which was carried by an over whehning A resolution was then carried, authorising the di rectors to raise a sum of 106,6661. for the purpose of th e Leeds central station. A resolution was also carried forfeiting 7,722 shares upon which only 51. had been paid. A resolution was also carried authorising the directors to issue 121. 10s. shares, bearing preference dividends of 5 per cent. in perpetuity. A vote of thanks was then proposed and carried to the chairman and directors, and the Chairman having returned thanks, the meeting separated, after lasting upwards of three hours. CALIFORNIA. CIIAGUES, JULY I.—We reached this place this morning,. after a short passage of nine days from New York. The Americans have now two lines of steamers between this latter town and the river of Chagres, each consisting of two vessels of an average tonnage of 1,000 tons, and from 4,50 to 600 horse• ' power. There are two departures on the Ist, and two on the 13th of each month. The fare from New York to Chagres is 125 dollars by Aspinwall's line, and 100 by tee competition one. The accom modations are indifferent by both ; indeed, the crowd of passengers is sucb, each steamer carry ing about 25C, that comforts are completely out of the question. There is a third line of American steamers con nectieg New Orleans with Chagres, via HaVaneati. The Alabama and Falcon, two old boats with rickety engines, keep up the communication in this quarter. These are pretty golden times for the American steam shipowers. There is not a single case in which their capital does not yield them 1,000 per cent. clear profit. Chagres has an altered and improved appearance. as you enter the river, stands the Ame rican o n c onsisting of some 50 wooden houses, all whicho O f rithteg have r"i-it : started up within the last four months. Each of these structures bears the name of some teshionable hotel in New York, such as Astor or Towing. house. The accommodations they afford are wretched in the extreme. The bill of fare never comprises more than two dishes, salt beef and cheese, and these have to be imported from New York or Europe. The American town is, however, better situated than the old Spanish one of the same name, both as ► egurds commerce and health. Tne latter is ensconced behind a high promeetory, capped by a dilapidated fort, and therefore shut out from the sea breezes, which can alone counteract the malaria arising from the mass of stagnant end putrified vege table and animal substances which obstruct the en trance to the river. The former, on the contrary, lies exposed to these breezes, which spring up invariably in the evening, and sometimes blow keenly enough to drive ships oil shore. Ships generally cast anchor opposite the mouth of the river in five fathoms water. The moorage is un safe, and the danger great when it happens to blow strong from sea. I noticed, however, the Alabama lying wiihin the bar under the promontory, a position into which no English steamer has yet ventured. There were several large schooners unloading close to the American town and also within the bar, in so favourable a position that the merchandise could be fended without the intervention of boats or luggers. Tnis fact struck me ae one of considerable mercantile interest. Tnere is a brisk trade now going on between C at h id ag E re ng si ish n i ui fruit, sugar, vegetables, chiefly t, merchandi se . There are few the Ja maica potato, and articles which do not bring high prices; the payment being made in French sil ver coin, which is on the Isthmus, or in go ld dust. The immigrationabundant of blacks and mul a t toes from J ama i ca is alsoco nsi- derable. On the Spanish side of the river nearly all the boats and hotels belong to dark emigrants from Jamaica or from the Dutch island of Curacoa. There had been a species of civil war at Chagres a few days before our arrival, The population of the American town, a most gregarious set of deserters, gamesters, runaways from Justice, took into their heads one evening to organize themselves as a dis tinct and independent community. They drew up a string of resolutions expressive of their firm resolve to obey thenceforward no other magistrate than a fellow called Taylor, a notorious drunkard and gamester, whom they appointed provisional president. Taylor entered upon his functions by opening a warm fire from rifiss and revolvers on the inhabitants of the of i town. The latter assembled in considerable numbers, and repelled the assailants. A gun was discovered by them among the ruins of the fort, and pointed on the American town, which it com pletely commanded. The United States Consul in terfered, but only received kicks and cuffs from his countrymen for his pains. It was only when they saw themselves on the eve of being driven into the sea that the Americans would listen to reason. The matter was at length bushed, after several lives having been lost on both sides, but the old animosi ties still remain, and will u ndoubtedly burst forth the moment the Americans find themselves strong enough for another encounter. It was believed that the attention of the Government at Bogata had been called to this anomalous state of things, and that a company of troops would shortly arrive to protect the New Grenadine territory, and the inhabitants of Chagres. Tnere is at length a fair prospect of the railway ecross the Isthmus being taken up in earnest. The contractors, the I4l,ssrs. Aspinwall' of New York, have secured the adhesion of the West India Steam picket Company. The latter co nsent to hear one quires of the entire expeoso.., kw/int; the eetnerican ( -;' l "Ptiny free to go :any- 1, . gala they think proper. It is now believed that ere eight months elapse the works will be so far advanced that travellers unty pass in a covered carriage from one ocean to the other. The starting-point will be Table bay, a point of the coast about 20 miles to the west of Porto &Po. A system of carriages with tvr.o horizontal interior wheels is to be introduced, catching or press ing on a middle or third rail. It is hoped that very high declivicies may be ascended and descended by this means without the expanding of labour on cut tings. Tne system has not, that I am aware, been yet tried on a large or practical scale in Europe. You are no doubt aware that the American Com pany ,have obtained from the New Grenadine Go vernment a privilege for conveying across the Isthmus the mails of all nations. Against this privilege Eng land has protested through her Charge d'Affaires at Bogata, but as yet without effect. 'the matter is of considerable importance, and it seems strange that France, which is equally interested, should as yet have taken no steps therein. Surely the pm ers of Europe, however engrossed by their internal bicker ings, cannot shut their eyes to the danger of allow ing such a monopoly to he claimed and exercised by America on the high road to the Pacific and Cali fornia. PANAMA, JULY G.—l reached this place yesterday, after a hard pull across the Isthmus. People may say what they please, but a trip from Cbegres to Panama is no child's play. You have, in the first place, the river to ascend as high as Gorgooa or Crucis, the current being against you all the way; then you have the mounta►ns to cross to Panama. A word of in formation on the nature of the difficulties that are to be encountered may not be here misplaced. When you land at Chagres from the steamers you are forthwith assailed by a whole battalion of boat men—white, black, and blue, of all hues and coun tries ; in a word, each making a tender, in Spanish or English, of his canoe, and praising its qualities to the close. Don't be impatient—don't close with the first that offers. Make your choice carefully, and re member that, as you have to go against a current seven knots strong, the light, small, and delicate skiff is the better one. Of the boatmen, too, the whites, whether European or American, are the worst. They are, in general, a set of drunken banditti, who know nothing of the stream and to whom it would be un safe to confide either your person or your goods. Single ou►ithe bronze-coloured swarthy:children of the Bosco del Toro who have learnt their profession at Carthagena. You can easily recognise them by their breadth of chest, sinewy arms, and retiring look. Treat them liberally, and if it be an object with you to get up the river as speedily es possible, promise them an additional dollar for every hour they nay gain on the average time. Next to these the Ja maica and Curagoa boatmen are the best, if they are provided, as is usually the case, with a man-of-war's My bargain was soon made. For an amount of 100 dollars , I secured a small gig, which had formerly belonged to a British man-of-war, with a Curecoa pedro:;e and three fine Bocco del Toro rowers. We commenced our task at six in the evening, and pro ceeded to.Gatoon the same day. There we found a whole fleet of canoes, gigs, and boats, all warped in to the shore waiting fin. day to proceed on their jour ney. The right bank of the Chagres is ornamented in this place by a group of some fifty or sixty huts, constructed with branc'aeaand covered with pandanus or palm leaves. From the bottom (.f the village where we landed we could distinguish the entire population assembled around a group of youngsters who were looting it away in a glorious " fandango." Heavens! what a confusion of sounds. All the tongues, kettles, and horns on the isthmus seetned collected in this one spot. A great devil of an Indian acted as taster of the band, tee perspiration trickling from every pore whilst he strumped a gigantic dried bumpkin covered with a sheep's skin. As for the dance, the less that is s A d of it the better. A Perieian travelling com panion, an old habitue of the Chetn ere, told me that he recognized several of the more eccentric hops of that classic haunt. " Corbleu," remarked he, were there a municipal guard or policeman on the spot the whole party of dancers would be sent to the police correctumnelle, for " contravention aux bunnes niceurs." A little further on, the whirl of roulette table was heard. We carne upon a knot of dark gamesters assembled round this interesting piece of machinery, and a number of monte tables. Our " padrimes" and rowers having now secured their boats, came and joined one or the other party as their fancy led. Many of these poor devils spent, before my eyes, all they were to gain by two days' hard pulling up the river, and which, according to the regulations that prevail at Chegres, bad to be paid them beforehand. At four in the morning we renewed our struggle with the stream, and succeeded in reaching at eignt the same night the village of San Pablo. The fe-a lowing morning at nine we took leave of our " pa drone" at the village of Gorgona, one of the two starting points for crossing over to Panama. Several attempts have been recently made to navi gate the ChQgres by steam, but all have tailed. The difficulties to he overcome are of two kinds, rapids and snags. The former divert the steamer from its course, carrying it in among the bushes, where the machinery gets entangled ; the latter destroy the wheels. And yet it seems to me that the application of steam is quite possible here, were the boat a r me d with a sort of adva nce d scytbe or knife to cut the snags, and only to draw from 14 to 18 inches water. If any of your engineering readers can solve this problem he may reckon upon realising a fortune of 20,0001. within less than one year, or indeed any amount ha pleases, as he will hold in his hand the key which unlocks the navigation of the isthmus, now become the high road of nations. At Gorgona you must be careful whom you apply to for your make. The price is generally sixteen dollars for crossing over to Panama, a distance of about twenty-two miles. Examine your beast well, and see he fail not on the road, leaving you to splutter on, as I have seen numbers do, up to their waists in mud, and amidst the thickets of a dense forest. The wiseEt plan is never to lose sight of your baggage, and to keep your revolver in order. There are now hordes of disappointed Californians on the isthmus who have very little respect for the tenth commandment. The Gorgona road, which is quite impracticable during the winter season, is preferable to that of Crucis in summer. A good horseman caa make his way from either point to Panama in nine hours. At Panama I find nearly two thousand Americans, all from the western states, who have been detained for the last two months, the steamers being too crowded. Whoever comes to Panama ueprovided with a ticket may look forward to a disappointment f this kind. What renders it doubly painful is the crowded state of the wretched inns at Panama, and the horrible filth of the town. The Americans, who have now nearly edged every native out of Panama, seem to have improved on the habits of the latter. Heaps of offal and filth block up all the principal streets, and water-elos€ts are luxuries totally un known. No wonder that the plague and the cholera morbus have selected this town for their head quarters. GERMANY. The King of Prussia has left Potsdam to inspect the corps now concentrated in and around T.-ltow. The members of the Provisional Council of Princes were on the 26th instant most suddenly convoked to meet Baron Rad° wirz, who arrived from Potsdam with a special message: M. Van der Heidt, the Prussian Minister of Trade, has now lost the support of the only inde pendent organ of public opinion which hitherto sup ported part of his commercial policy. The Constitu • tionnelle Zeitung has in its last numbers become Convert to tree trade. ' The Journal des Debats publishes the following letter from Vienna, of the 211 inst.:-- " On the 18th, the jete day of the Emperor, deplorable excesses took place at Pesth, in Hungary. In the course of the morning the attitude of certain groups appeared rather threatening, but they were not guilty of any acts which could give the police a motive for interference. In the evening, at the theatre, things assumed a different appearance. While the first verses of the Austrian national hymn were being sung by the actors, a group of spectators in the centre of the pit, and composed cf persons apparently belonging to the respectable class, began to protest by cries, whistling, and threats. Their insulting vociferstions were ad dressed to the highest persons of the State. To put an end to the scene of tumult, the intervention of the armed force was called for, and from twenty to twenty-five persons were arrested. Their social position, and the moment chosen by them to promote disturbance, were an aggravation of their fsult, and there was, moreover, on their part a complete want of political tact, if not of gratitude, in hazarding a shameful demonstration against the Empe ror immediately after the numerous pardons so gene rously granted by him. The authorities of Pesth, in stead of understanding their duty in delivering up these guilty men to justice, allowed themselves to be led away either by the effect of indignation, or by misunderstood zeal, to use means which nothing can excuse in a civi lised country, and to inflict summery punishment with out any form of trial. The most guilty of the parties were immediately incorporated as private soldiers in a regiment, and the others had the bastinado applied to them et the rate of 30 strokes each. Affairs do not go on so well in Croatia as could have been wished. Na tional demonstrations are frequent, and, according to ocular witnesses, the Ban. Jellachieh does not exert himself sufficiently to repress them. You are aware that the town of Fiume has already sent deputies to Vienna, to demand that it may be detached from Croatia, and united to the district of Fiume. This idea, which will meat with many zealous advocates, even in the Cabinet, will probably be carried out. As to the Danish question, I em positively assured that Austria will be definitively in accord with the northern powers on the question of the Duchi. s. The rights of the Confederation over Holstein, and certain administretive advantages fur s c hi,,,, w i tz being guaranteed, the Cabinet of Vienna would 4,elere itself ready to accede, if n ecessary, to the eu c cession of the family of Oleenburge, alth oug h i t would, perhaps, have preferred giving its vote to the house of Hesse." MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (B,Lie Mr. V; ITHIM, Chairman, and a Benc'i of Magistrates.) 'T , sterday Witiain IYl yerscroft, alias William Wilson, surrendered to take his trial uuder an indictment which charged him with having stolen a silk scarf, the pro very of Lavinia, Smith. The prisoner was a very respectable-looking man of about 40 years of age. O'Brien appeared for the pr3ccution, and Yr. Pa, no was for the prisoner. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutrix that she was a dressmaker, living in Church-street, Stoke Newington, and that when before the magistrate she had given her name as Lucille Montague. Her proper name, however, was that described in the indictment.. It had happened that as she was returning home from Charlotte s reet, Fitzroy-square, on the evening of the 6th fast, and was ple.ceeding along Holborn, at about nine o'clock iu the ereuing, she was accosted by the prisoner at the bar, who put some questions to her on the subject of the 'weather, which at the time was wet. At first she paid no attention to him, but pursued her onward course. Eventually, however, she entered into conversation with him, and shortly afterwards he persuaded her, as it was so wet, to accompany him to a coffee-shop where they might take shelter. Whilst they were at that place the prisoner called for half-a , quartern of brandy, of which spirit she partook of a glass. They remained in the coffi es shop about twenty minutes, and in the course of their conversation she mentioned that she was on her way to the Bank, where she should get into an omnibus which would take her home. Upon this the prisoner said that, si. gular enough, be was going the same way, and be would be happy to accompany her. Accordingly, as she did not decline the proposal, off they started, but they had not proceeded very far before she became per fectly unconscious as to where she was, as welas of everything that was passing. What became of her frem that moment she did not know, but when she regained her settees, towards the miudle of the night, she found that she was in a house of ill-fame in the vicinity of Hoxton, and that the prisoner was in the room with her. Upon discovering the situation in which she was placed she implored the prisoner at once to quit the room, a course which he refused to take, whereupon she called out, when a woman belonging to the house came up, from whom (as she again felt very N) the asked for a glass of water. At this period she took off her bonnet and scarf, and laid them on a chair is the room. She thou renewed her solicitation to the prisoner to leave the room, but t,© again refused to do so. She thereupon intimated to the young woman who had come up that it was her with that the prisoner should leave the room, when the for mer said that if she (the prosecutrix) would come down stairs she would herself soon get rid of him. Ac cordingly she went down stair; into a beck par lour. The woman of the house called out to the prisoner to the effact that the prosecutrix was gene. The prisoner then came don, when upon being told that she had run away, he ran out as if after her into the street. She then went upstairs, and on reaching the room where she hasl previously been, and where, toe, she had left her scarf, she discovered that it had been taken away. She instantly went after the prisoner, and having overtaken him, gave him into the custody of an officer, and then, being in custody, he took the scarf out of - his hat. The prosecutrix, en her cross-examination by Mr. Payne, stated that she had Leon married, and had had two children, one of whom was illegitimate, the father being Mr. Murell, of Marlborough street. Tee other child was by her husband. That she had been married she would swear, but she declined to say who her husband was; she was now a widow. The policeman, II GO, said that the house to which the eresecutrix hurl teen taken was in the Vinegar ground, Ciey-road, a most notorious locality, full of houses of ill-tame aid prostitutes. Mr. PAYNE made a powerful speech on behalf of the prisoner, and subinitte4 that the fact of the scarf havieg been found in hie het was purely an accident. Professor tlolloway, of 244, &reed, was called to speak to the character of the prisoner. He stated that tee prisoner had beer; in his service to. bookke s eper and foreign correspondent tor the last five years, and that his conduct and character were irreproachable. The CHAIRMAN having i-untated up, The jury tenursoed a verdict of Guilty. Tee CHAIRMAN sentenced the prieueer to one month's imprisonment a d heed letieur. POLICE LW TELLIGENCE. itiA.N.:4ON-iio US H. Charlei Siiadholt coratuetor of omnibus No. 2,327, was summened before Mr. Alderman Glebe up at the cheige of having mewld to admit a person in o the Jinn bus when there was sufficient, room. Cleirlee Busterd, 333, N dirsion of the meteepolitan police, said—Oar the 21st of August I was at the Flower rot public-house, in Bishopseete—tee t t, at five and I w a ited tit' a clearer-pest five, when the delsniftteth. Omnibus took its beard in front of the 11 , 1.13 , -. The horses' heeds were towards Kingsland-read There were three passengers, anti one got out and two gut it I went up to him and said I canted a sat to Kineslaud. He said he would not take me, that he had room far no wore than his customer a, :and he persisted ia refusing to admit me. Hu then refus .d to take two ladies, eltheueth one of them offered to pay any amount of fare tor the aceornaii dation. He irttated that his was not a three penny " bus," and I told hun I asked 11. thing about the fare, and that I should certainty r e p ort hi s conduct in the proper quarter. The defendant said he objected to /Omit the corn- Olefins because the charge of Gel. was re used by that person. James Overton said he wsiat down to Kingsland by the defendant's omnibus on Thursday night, and there was a crowd round the place. The complainant was amongst the crond, and the conductor said his fare was Gd., and be carried no threepenny fares upon that oc casion. The omnibus, he thought, carried thirteen passengers. Alderman Gins said the public were accustDined to overcharges in tee way described, and that females were very frequently victimizsd. The penalty he should in filet would be 20e, or Bridewell for one month, and the offence should be nominatedin the licence. WORSIAP-STREET. Two men named John Sutherland and John Francis Richardson, journeymen tyi.efounders, wore brought be fore Mr. Hammill, charged, the former with having ob structed the thoroughfare and caused a crowd to assemble in front of the premises of Messrs. Henry Callon and Son, letter-founders, is Chiawell street, St. Luke'a, and the latter with disorderly conduct in inciting a mob to rescue the other prisoner from the custody or the police. Mr. Wakeliug attended to conduct the prosecution, and Mr. Child for the defence. Inspector Brannan, of the G division, stated, that having received information that a large mob had assembled in Chiswell-street, and that the thorough. fare was completely obstructed, he proceeded there accompanied by four sergeants and a dozen con stables ; and on reaching the complainant's foundry observed the defendant Sutherland wading about in the front of the premises, with a large placard at his back, and a similar one slung to his breast, fled surrounded by a crowd of at least 150 per sons. Witness immediately stepped up to the prisoner, and requested him to withdraw, to whittle he replied, "I am paid for what I am doing, and while I keep moving on you have no power to interfere with me," The pri soner then resumed his walk backwards and forwards at a very slow pace, occasionally- shouting out "French invasion! French invasion!' And as fei passed the pro secutor's windows he obtrusive ly exhibited the placards towards them, After warning him several times that unless he went away he must take him into custody, the /slimmer suddenly etdepeti, and continued to mark " time" in a military wanner with his feet, but without advancing more than a yard in several minutes; and as he persisted in this conduct he secured him, and whilst conveying him to the stadon house, the prisoner re peated his Fries of " French invasion!" until they reached Finsbury-square, when the other prisoner, Richardson, presented himself, and repeatedly addressing the mob with the exclamation, "Do you call this justie, pressed upon the police with such violence that it re quired the efforts of Leveret constebl-s to keep him back. The prisoner, however, again thrust himself in front to the crowd, and turning round to them exclaimed, " that it was a shame that the man should go to prison fur no thing," with other violent observations. In cross-examination the witness said that he had known the prisoner Richardson for many years as one of the workmen in Messrs. Caslou'e type-foundry, arid that the other prisoner was employed in the same capa city by another extensive firm. In answer to a question from Mr. lleatellea, the in spector said that ho had also seen another man in the crowd, exhibiting similar placards, but that he instantly disappeared on finding that the prisoners had been taken into custody. Mr. Childs, for the defence, said it would be unneces sary to call any further evidence, as there had been quite enough to show that the proceedings of the defendant had been wholly irregular, and amounted to a breach of the law, but they had acted under the erroneous impres sion that as long as they kept moving about the police had no authority to interfere with them; and if the ma gistrate would take a lenient view of the case, he felt as sured that, under his advice, such conduct would never again be repeated. Mr. HA3IMILL ordered both prisoners to find substan tial bail for their peaceable behaviour for the next three months; in addition to a penalty of 40s. upon the pri soner Richardson for obstructing the police and inciting to a rescue. WESTMINSTER. John Gould, a toll-collector in the employ of the Vauxhall-bridge Company, was charged wida having caused the death of Albert Arthur Towers, a child be tween seven and eight years of age, under circumstances of a peculiarly heart-rending description. It appeared from the evidence of Emily Jackson and Catherine Foulsham, two girls, that on Monday, the 22d of July, at about five in the evening, the child, who was the son of a very respectable elderly man named Tow ers, a warder at Toothill-fields Bridewell, was crossing the Vauxhall-bridge -road, apparently coming from school, when a quantity of boiling water was thrown out of the window of the toll-house at the corner of Roches ter-row, which fell upon the child, who was shockingly scalded. There was at the time no other person in the toll-liChise bat the accused, who, hearing the child's screams, came out and expr e s se d hi s regret at w h at had happened. The child was immediately taken by a baker opposite into his house, and subsequently to the house of its parents.
