NEWCASTLE, Auc. 25.—1 have just returned from the inquest held on the bodies of the sufferers by the fatal explosion at Jarrow Colliery, and the inquiry, which began this morning at ten o'clock, and continued with out intermission, came to a close about halt past five this evening, when the jury returned a verdict of Acci dental Death." The inquest was begun by the examination of Mr. Jobling, viewer of the colliery, who was observed fre quently to shed tears as he detailed the proceedings that he and others adopted as soon as made acquainted with the occurrence, and informed the jury that, in his opinion, the fire had originated in the low main seam, at a spot, denominated the West Flat Mothergate Board, and gave as the only reason for that opinion that he had on the Saturday and Sunday heard the gas issuing from the coal or stone, he could not tell which, seeing that he could not get to the spot on account of some very heavy falls of stone. Ile gave testimony also as to the general safety and excellent ventilation of the pit previous to the explosion, which was corroborated by the sub sequent witnesses. There was one circumstance connected with the Coro ner's conduct in this melancholy affair that I feel desi rous of drawing your attention to, namely—on Saturday last, several of the friends of the sufferers requested Mr. Thos. Horn, of Newcastle, Mr. James Mother, of South Shields, and myself to attend the inquest, and solicit the Coroner to allow us to ask a few questions of the witnesses, which might appear to us requisite to elicit every infor mation connected with the explosion, also to request the Coroner to adjourn the inquest for a day or two, it, order to ascertain whether Sir J. Graham would consent to send down the Commissioners lately appointed to examine into the ventilation of mines, he having bt en written to for that purpose. However, the Coroner re fused to adjourn the inquest, although one mat rid witness was absent--the man who had been saved after being thirty-six hours in the pit, but who is in so weak a state at present as not to be able to be examined. This conduct on the part of the Coroner, to say the least of it, did appear to us as very uncourteous to the relatives of the sufferers. COURSE OF EXCH.

Holders, however, for the most part were firm, and refused to sell but at former rates, the supply at mar ket being still small : in some cases, however, a slight decline in prices was submitted to. At public sale 100 hhds of Barbadoes Sugar went off at very full rates—low yellow at 493, mid dling 49s 6d to 51s 6d, good 52s to 52s 6d, fine 53s to 5-Is, and one lot of very fine 56s 6d per cwt. The total quantity of Sugar sold to-day amounted to only 400 hhds and trcs. Eight vessels have arrived off the coast from the West Indies, chiefly laden with Sugar. REFINED.—To-day pr:ees further declinad for Refined goods, s.andard lump, sell►ng at 675, and brown grocery at 65s so 6tis per cwt; at these rates, however, a fair business tA as done, but several parcels , are offering for sale. Bonded Crushed Sugar is held with firmness at 43s to 43s 6d per cwt, but there is still little to be had. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon the market was better sup plied with Alauritius sugars—fine yellow fetched 53s to 545, good 52s to 524 6d, good mid 51s, mid 49s to 50s, low yellow 48s to 48s 6d, fine brown 47s to 47s 6d, good 45s to 46s 6d, mid 43s to 44s 6d, low 40s to 425, low to good grey 43s to 51a, witned 38s 6d to 51s, and sugar drainage damaged 43s 6d to 50s 6d. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon the market was better sup plied with Bengal Sugar—good middling white at 57s 6d to 58s, middling 55s to 565, low 54s 6d, damp and washed 53s to 56s 6d, middling sound yellow not grainy 53s to 54s Gd, damp and washed 51s 6d to 52s 6d, low date sound grey 455, and damp 44s 6d, but brown was taken in above the value— middling damp bright at 40s, and good 40s 6d to 41s per cwt. Foax.rox.—To-day several inquiries existed for all kinds of Foreign Sugar, and stiffer rates were offered. A floating cargo of $OO chests of fine white Havannah was sold at 42s per cwt. A mixed cargo has been sold, but the particulars have not transpired. COFPEE.—This afternoon Coylon Coffee was in limited re quest privately, but holders would not take lower rates; 600 bags 14 casks at public sale were partly sold at 47s to to 48s for good ordinary Native; in casks, fine ordinary pale was taken in at 50s per cwt. 48 casks of British Plantation went rather cheaper; Jamaioa, low middling mixed at 80s, fine fine ordinary 755, fine ordinary 555, good ordinary 47s 6d to 50s, low ordinary 37s 6d to 40s, triage 30s ; Demarara, ordinary mixed red unclean 345. 52 bags of La Guayra were taken in, fine ordinary grey at 50s, and good ordinary at 45s to 48s per cwt. By private treaty some par cels of Padang were sold at 395, and Rio at 31s to 35s per cc t.

Pouchong has been in excellent request, and brings stiffer rates. Twankey sells freely and prices are firm. Of Hyson many parcels were disposed of, but holders at present cannot obtain better prices.

Scented Orange Pekoe is held with firmness, and there has been more doing at 2s lld to 3s 2d for good and fine. RICE.—The market for all kinds of East India was in a dull state all last week, and although there were sellers at a consi derable decline in prices, still few buyers were to be met with.

Mace fully supports the former currency. Nutmegs are much in demand, and the tendency of prices is still upwards. Of inferior and jungle kinds of Cin namon several parcels have been disposed of, in consequence of holders taking very low rates.

STEALING FROM THE CUSTOM-HOUSE.— William Stria land, aged 37, victualler, Edward Lewis, ironmonger, 37, 11 1 11- liana Bonham, 36, coal-dealer, and Henry Osborne, 38, victualler, were placed at the bar, the three first indicted for stealing five watches, the property of Joseph Savory and another, and the latter for feloniously receiving the same, knowing them to have been stolen. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Henry Laycock, apprentice to Mr. Wale, a tin plate worker, was employed to solder down the box. After finishing the work I e was sent by Strickland (he was positive it was Strick land), to Black wall for some shrimps, on the promise of having some brandy and water. He left his tools behind him in the dock. He believed that Lewis and Bonham were there. Atter returning he got two glasses of brandy and water, and he thought that the persons there were the three prisoners and the man Turner. The last witness's employer was called to confirm his evi dence. He deposed to his apprentice coming home rather tipsy. He never in his life, when employed by the Custom house to unsolder or resolder a case, left his tools behind him. It would take twenty minutes to heat an iron after once ex tinguishing the fire. William Skinner, appointer of weighers at the West India Dicks did, in the month of June, 1d42, appoint Turner, Bonham, and Lewis to No. 1 shed in the export dock. They ere on duty that day from eight to four. Strickland was one of the shippir.g officers for that day, and he was on duty, as appeared by his signature. R. Stephenson, in the service of the East and West India Dock Company, received three cases, marked A B S in a dia mond, No. 1,2, and 3. They were sent to No. 1 dock. Thomas Hutchings shipped them on the 28th. He believed they remained two or three days in shed No. 2. John Haynes deposed that he was an inspector of police, and had been for some time employed by the Custom House to endeavour to discover the stolen watches, and in August last, in consequence of information he received from a person named Yeoraens, he went to the house of the defendant Osborn, who keeps the Crooked Billet public-house, on Tower-hill. He went into the bar-parlour with him, and told him he had come upon very unpleasant business, and that he had a search warrant, which lie showed him. He had before this told him who he was, and gave him his card. Having cautioned him as to what answers he might give, he asked him whether he had not sold a watch two or three years ago, to a person named Yeomens, and he said he had. He then admitted that he had :he fellow watch to it, and gave it to him, and he afterwards gave him a gold watch. Witness told him he hoped he would be able to give a satisfactory account how he became possessed of these watches, and he said he had bought five of them of a man who used the house be formerly kept, the Lamb in Lamb's Conduit-street; arid in answer to questions he said he did not know his name, nor where he lived. Witness asked the de scription of the man, and he said he would consider about giving that. He then asked what he had done with the other two, and he replied he had sold one to his solicitor, Mr. Taylor, and he did not think he had more than four. Witness asked him whether it was not an extraordinary thing for a publican to have possession of five watches, worth 401. or 501., under such cir cumstances, and he said they were brought to his house to be raffled for. After this Osborn said he had no doubt he should be able to find the man in the course of a day or two. Witness afterwards apprehended Strickland, and as lie was going out of the house, he told his wife to send to Osborn and tell him to take care of himself. Having plef.ted the prisoner Strickland in the station-house, he proceeded to the house of Osborn, and finding he was not home, he went back to Strickland's, and found Osborn there, and he said he had been sent for in a great hurry by Mrs. Strickland, and he then took him into custody. Cross-examined—A reward of 501. was offered, but this was not so much to discover the offenders as to obtain a clue to the watches. He always knew who the thieves were, but they could not do anything in the matter without obtaining posses sion of the watches. Osborn admitted at once that he had sold a watch to Mr. Yenieens, and also to Mr. Taylor, and the initials of himself and his wife we-e upon the watches in their respective use. The Crooked Billet which he at present occupies is a large and respectable establishment. Mary Barker was the next witness—She merely proved that in the course of the year 1842 she saw several watches in the possession of Osborn in his parlour, and that he said they had been left with him for sale. Mr. James Yeomens proved that he had purchased one of the silver watches that had been produced and identified, of the defendant Osborn. He said, the, transaction took place quite openly, and the defendant asked and received the full value of the article, viz., five guineas. This was the case for the prosecution. The Learned Counsel for those of the defendants who were charged as principals, then addressed the jury for their respective clients, and contended that the evidence of the approver, tainted as he was with crime, was quite unworthy of belief, and that the jury ought not to convict any man upon such testimony. Air. Sergeant JONES made a very able address to the jury on behalf of his client, who was charged as the receiver. The vrh le of his conduct showed that he had acted perfectly inno cently during the whole transaction. A great many highly respectable witnesses were called to speak to the character of the defendants, all of whom received a most excellent character for honour and integrity. No less than twenty-four witnesses were examined on behalf of the defendant Osborn. The ATIORNEY-GENERAL replied. Mr. Baron PLATT Bummed up, and the jury returned a ♦er. dict of Not Guilty. A MAYOR COUNTERFEITING A MAN-SERVANT : — The Mayor of Windsor, Thomas Clarke, Esq., was placed in a very unpl easan t s it uat i on , a f ew d ays s i nce, i n hi s journey from that t own t o S out h ampton, accompan i e d b y hi s d aug ht e r, a young l a d y a b out twenty years o f age. On his arriva l a t the Farnb oroug h stat i on f rom Wi n d sor, be proceeded thence to Southampton by one of the fast trains, by which only first glass passengers are conveyed, a limited number of servants only being permitted to travel by these trains, for whom ac commodation is afforded at second-class fares. Mr. Clarke placed his daughter alone in a first-class carriage, and took a ticket for himself as a servant, thereby saving 35., and seated himself in a carriage exclusively devoted to that class. Shortly after the train hat left the Farnborough station, it was dis covered that instead of Mr. Clarke being the lady's servant, he waa no less a personage than the Mayor of Windsor. This extraordinary fact was instantly, by means of the electric tele aph, communicated to the railway authorities at the Southampton tenni ius. where, upon the Mayor's arrival, he was ushered into a private room and charged with having tra velled as a servant to the young lady who was with him, when in reality he was her own father. He was made to pay the d.fference in the fair which he had saved by the ruse he had practised, and very politely told that he had rendered him self liable to be fined 40s. The money was paid and the Mayor and his daughter pursued their journey to the Isle of Wight. DEPLORABLE SUICIDE. - While the Dundee steamer was on its passage from that place to Edinburgh, on Thursday last, a woman on board suddenly took off her bonnet and shoes, and before anybody was aware of her intention jumped overboard. The captain immediately stopped and put about the steamer, but the unfortunate woman had sunk and was seen no more. The name " Margaret Miller" was in scribed on the inside of her shoes.—Edinburgh Evening Post. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. EAST INDIA SHIPPING.

The Commander-in-Chief has received from Lieut.- General the Earl of Cathcart, Commander of the forces in North America, the annexed reports of the conduct of Major-General Sir James Hope, and of the officers and troops at Quebec, upon the occasion of a second confla gration, which, unfortunately, occurred in that city on the night of the 28th of June. He has laid these reports before her Majesty, and he is happy in having another opportunity of expressing his approbation of th conduct of Major- General Sir James Hope, and of the officers and troops at Quebec. He particularly notices the report made of the conduct of Captain Boxer, of the Royal Navy ; Lieut.-. Colonel Walker, Captain Warburton, end Lieutenant Shake spear, of the Royal Artillery ; Lieut.-Colonel Ward, of the R,) al Engineers ; Lieut.-Colohel Thorp, of the 99th Regiment ; Major Watson, of Ho 14th Regiment ; Lieut.-Colonel Pritchard, Assistant Adjutant- General, Captain Ingall, Deputy Assistant Quartermaster- General, and Captain Hope, Aide-de-Camp to Major- General Sir James Hope ; and he draws the attention of the army at large to the fresh display, in this transac tion, of all the good qualities of British officers ai'd sol diers—cool deliberation and judgment in the direction of the measures to be adopted; energy in the superintend ence of tl:eir execution; and the zeal, activity, intre pidity, and persevering labour of all to attain the object in view—that of arresting the progress of the misfor tune, and saving the lives and property of her Majesty's subjects. By command of Field Marshal the Duke of Welling ton, Commander-in Chief, JOHN MACI)ONALD, Adjutant-General. The great length of the documents referred to in the above general order compels us to be content with a mere precis of their contents. 1. A later from Lieut.-General the Earl of Cathcart to Lord Fitzroy Somerset, announcing the second fire at Queboc, by which 1,200 houses, forming the whole of St. John's and the greater part of the suburb of St. Louis were destroyed; enclosing an official report of the catastrophe, and specially pointing out the valuable assistance ren dered by several officers named in the Major-General's lever, as also the admirable conduct of the officers, non commissioned officers, and privates of the garrison in general. 2. Major-General Hope's official report of the fire to Lord Cathcart, on the night of the 28th of June, differs in no essential degree from the one we have already published. We must, therefore, confine ourselves to the compliment paid by the Major-General to the troops :—" The spot where the houses were latterly blown up was at the point where the St. John's suburbs extend beyond the St. Louis; end owing to thoses houses being rapidly blown up, and by the utmost exertion of the troops in clearing a space, a great part of th e St. Louis suburb, the hole of lapton-terrace, consisting of vi!laa, and the gentlemen's seats on each side of the St. Louis-road, were saved. I wish it bad fallen to my lot to report to your Excellency the services of the officers and men employed during the progress of both the late lamentable events, on occasions more honourable and more congenial to their profession ; but it would indeed be unjust if I did not mention the names of Cap tain Boxer, of the royal navy, whose exertions during the whole night, and particularly at the end of the fire, in directing the spaces to be cleared, were of the greatest , erviee; of Lieutenant Colonel Walker, commanding the Royal Artillery ; of Major Watson, commanding the 14th Regiment ; of Lieutenant-Colonel Thorp, com manding the 89th Regiment. And I have also to state that I received every assistance from the suggestions and activity of Lieut.-Colonel Ward and the officers of the Royal Engineers ; of Lieut.-Colonel Pritchard, Assistant Adjutant-General; of Captain Ingall, Deputy Assistant Quartermaster-General ; of Town Major Knight, and of my aide-de-camp, Captain Hope. The conduct of the officers, non-commissioned officers, and men, as I expressed on the occasion' of the former conflagration, exceeds anything 1 can say in their praise. Thou ;,h this dreadful misfortune occurred in the night, when the men were frequentiy scattered in various directions, they were quickly assembled at the sound of the bugle, and never relaxed for an instant in their ex ertions ; and I am happy to add that but one person was one man's leg broken, and three or four contused, by the several explosions that took place, and that no pains were spared to get the people out of the way. There have been no casualties amongst the troops. 3. Letter from Lord Cathcart to Lord F. tzroy Somer set, of the HMI July, enclosing the renolutiou passed by the Mayor and Corporation of Quebec, conveying their thanks to Major-General Sir James Hope and the gar rison under his orders. 4. A general order, dated " Head-quarters, Mont real," conveyirg the approbation and an expression of admiration of the Governor-General of the praiseworthy conduct of the troops, and compli ment i ng Major-Gene ral hope on the judicious measurt s he had adopted. 5. Thanks of the Mayor of Quebec to Major General Hope. 6, 7. Letter and resolution of th e M a y or an d Corpora tion of Quebec, conveying their thanks to the troops. GENERAL ORDER. " Horse Guards, August 6, 1845. " having been represented- to the Commander-in- Chief that the coloured stripes in the sash or girdle at present worn by sergeants of infantry are liable to fade or become unsightly when exposed to wet, or to the in fluence of the sun in hot climates, his Grace has been pleased to direct that the sergeant's sash be henceforth manufactured of the national crimson coloAr throughout, uniformly for the whole army (including Rifle Corps), and that the breadth be reduced to two and a half inches. A rattern has accordingly been sealed and lodged at the office of Military Boards for the regulation of future supplies. " By command of F.

We call the attention, most strongly, of all war officers to the annexed petition which has been drawn up in their favour, to be presented to her Majesty. We urgently press un them that it is a duty they owe to their own honour, and that of their brethren in arms, not to allow indolence, indifference, or ill-grounded fears to interfere with the great object in view; and that they will come forward to sign this petition, less with a view of gaining a trifling distinction so long withheld, than as proof how much they remain alive to the honour and renown of the profession of arms. We boldly app ea l to t h e sense o f t h e pu bli c at l arge, whether th ere i s anything in the substance of the peti tion that can in the least degree be construed into want of respcct to authority ; and ask whether the prayer it contains is not modest in form and just in principle. TO Tim QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY.

[We have thought it would be extremely useful to the numerous classes of persons now interested in shares, to know what kind of dealings are legal and what il legal—what liabilities accompany these transactions— and what is the exact position occupied by share brokers in the immensely numerous operations of which they are the mediums. We therefore submitted some questions to one of the most eminent solicitors in Yorkshire, John Hope Shaw, Esq., of this town, and have obtained from him a regular professional opinion upon them, very carefully prepared, and which he has taken every means to render as accurate as the present state of the law will permit. Mr. Shaw's opinion is as follows s] The right and liabilities resulting from contracts for shares are subject to uncertainties. S.nne of these un certainties arise from unsettled questions of law; others from the rules or customs of brokers, which may vary in different places, or in the same place at different times. The rules of an Exchange. when not in them selves illegal, or varied by the terms of a particular con tract, bind the bruisers who belong to that Exchange, and through them their principals. They are considered as engrafted on the contract, and becoming part of it. When the contracting parties are not members of any Exchange, or not both members of the same, the rues of any particular Exchange are not binding upon them, unless adopted either by express agreement or by their course of dealing with teach other ; but local customs, if known to them, and general customs, whether known to them or not, are conside.r, d as en grafted on their contracts, provided the customs are legal in themselves, and are not inconsistent with the terms of the particular contract. For these reasons it is impossible to frame directions specifically adapted to every case that may occur. All that can be done is to state the general law so far as it has been settled. It must be left to each individual to ascertain for himself how far the application of that general law to his own case may be modified by the rules or customs of the particular Exchange or district where his contract was made. The general law applies to three distinct stages in the progress of a railway share from its inspection to its completion. The first of these stages is the formation of the project, usually announced to the public by a prospectus—the second is the allotment of scrip—and the third is the passing of the Railway Act. In the first stage (i. e. prior to the allotment of scrip), no valid sale can be made. Even with respect to any joint-stock company commenced before Ist November, 1844, the validity of such a sale was extremely doubt ful ; sled the Joint-Stock Companies Registration Act (7 and 8 Victoria, chap. 110, sect. 26) provides, " with regard to subscribers and every person entitled or claiming to be entitled to any share in any joint stock company, the formation of which shall be commenced after the Ist November, 1844, that until such joint-stock company shall have obtained a certificate of complete registration, and until any such subscriber or person shall have been duly registered as a shareholder in the said registry office, it shall not be lawful for such person to dispose, by sale or mortgage, of such share, or any interest therein ; and that every contract for sale or disposal of such share or interest shall be void, and, that every person entering into such contract shall forfeit a sum not exceeding 10/." Registration must therefore precede sale ; and, as it is required by the 7th section of the Act that the registered deed shall state in a schedule, " the number of the shares which each sub scriber holds, and the distinctive numbers thereof," the allotment of shares must precede registration. In the second stage (that of scrip) the 26th section of the Registration Act continues to operate until the regis tration both of the company and of the individual share holder lets been completed. Whether contracts for scrip, after registration, but prior to the passing of the Railway Act, are valiel or not, does not appear to he yet settled by any expreo decision. In the case of Jackson v. Cocker, decided hje Lord Langdale in 1841, and reported in 4 Beaver' 59, hie Lordship said of scrip that it was " commonly, but very aeroneously, called shares," and that " the Act alone, whee passed. constitutes shares, and makes them transferah:e." He added, that the legality of sales of scrip was "s question worthy of the most serious consideration," and that he was "by no means disposed to treat lightly the "suggestions of Lord Tenderden in Josephs v. Tebrer" (3 B. and C. 644). Lord Langdale, however, did not decide the question of legality in Jackson v. Cocker, as it was unnecessary to do so ; and the decision in Josephs v. Pebrer was founded on the 18th section of the 6th Geo. 1, chap. 18, which was soon afterwards repented by the Ist section of Geo. 4, chap. 91. But one of Lord Tenterden's suggestions in Josephs v. Pebrer (and it was probably to this suggestion that Lord Langdale meant chiefly to refer) is, that " trafficking in these shares may very possibly have been illegal at common law, as it was a bargaining and wagering about all Act of Parliament to be obtained in future." The ques tion at common law remains still open. 'I he 6th Geo. 4, only repeals the statutory prohibitions of 6 Geo. 1 ; and it does so on the express ground (stated in its preamble) that "it is expedient" that such matters "should be adjudged and dealt with in like manner as the same might have been adjudged and dealt with at common law, notwithstanding the said Act." But the common law objection appears at present to rest chiefly upon Lord Tenterden's sug• gestions in Josephs v. Pebrer ; and his Lordship's ge • neral doctrines on this class of cases have beets con sidered unsound by very eminent judges. The Joint stock Companies' Registration Act, which passed in 1844, may also strengthen the argument in favour of sales of scrip after registration, as it expressly provides that the contract shall be void when made before registration, which provision would have been unnecessary if it were void already. The question, however, cannot be con sidered finally settled till it has been judicially decided. It was expected to be raised in a case at the last York assizes, but the case was compromised. In the third and last stage (1. e. after the Act has passed) a contract for shares is clearly valid. A contract for the delivery of shares at a future day is not in itself illegal, nor does it become so merely be cause the seller does not actually possess the shares at the time of the contract. The contrary doctrine was once laid down at nisi prius by Lord Tenterden, with re ference to a sale of goods (Bryan v. Lewis, Ryan and Moody, 386) ; but the case went off on a different point; and in the case of Ilibblewhite v. M'Morine, 5 Meeson and Welsby, 462, (which was upon a contract for the delivery of railway shares at a future day,) Barons Parke, Alderson, and Maule overruled Lord Tenterden's dictum and held the contract legal. The buyer and seller of shares have various remedies against each other. The usual one is, that the party who was ready and offered to perform his part of the contract in due time recovers from the other the diffe ren.T between the contract price and the market price at the time when the shares ought to have been delivered or accepted.—Gainsford v. Carroll, 2 B. and C. 624. Boorman v. Nash, 9 B. and C. 145.—Startup v. Cortazzi, 2 Crompton, Meeson, and Roscoe 165. An actual sale or purchase in the market of the shares contracted for, if made within a reasonable time (see Stewart v. Cauty, 8 Meeson and Welsby, 160), and after notice to the de faulter, Is the most satisfactory test of this difference. But (except where required by the terms of the con tract, or by some special rule or custom binding on the parties), it does not appear to be indispensably neces sary for the purpose of supporting an action.—Leigh v. Paterson, 8 Taunton, 540. In all Railway Companies formed since Ist November, 1844, and in any other companies to which the Registra tion Act may apply, the liability of a registered share holder to the debts and engagements of the company, continues after he has sold his share, until the transfer of it to the purchaser has been registered. See 7 and 8 Victoria, chap. 110, section 13. In companies to which the Registration Act does not apply, the liability de pends upon the particular Acts by which each company is regulated. A broker is personally liable for the fulfilment of his contracts, unless his principal be named or known to the other party at the time the contract is made. The mere fact of his being a broker does not exempt him from per sonal liability, if the contract be made in his own name, and without disclosing his principal ; nor can he relieve him self from liability, when once incurred, by disclosing his principal afterwards—Magee v. Atkinson, 2 Meeson and Welsby, 440. In such a case, however, the other con tracting party has the option of proceeding against either the broker, or the subsequently disclosed principal, though he may have originally debited the broker— Paterson v. Gandasequi, 15 East, 62. And this option is not lost, though he knew at the time of the contract that the broker was acting for a principal, unless he also knew who the principal was—Thompson v. Davenport, 9, B. and C., 78. But if he knew at the time of the con tract who the principal was, and with a full knowledge of that fact chose to debit the agent, he cannot after wards resort to the principal ; or if in such a case he has debited the principal, he cannot afterwards charge the agent (per Littledale J. in Thompson v. Davenport, 9, B. and C. 90). NEW METHOD OF PROTECTING ‘VOOD FROM SEA WATER INSECTS.—Captain Sir Samuel Brown, R.N., in a letter to Admiral Sir Byam Martin, states that from numerous experiments and observations, he is satisfied " that at present there is really no specific remedy against the attacks of the in sect called by entomologists teredo navalis, or sea-worm, ex cept iron nails." He proposes to encase the pile with broad_ headed iron nails, resembling scupper nails, but considerably larger, and says that in the course of a few months corrosi on takes place and spreads into the interstices. He further sug gests the adoption of square-headed nails, which leave the smallest possible extent of th . e surface of the pile exp ose d . E a , periments tried at the Trinity Pier, Newhaven, and Brigh , on Pier, have folly established the effectiveness of Sir S. Brown's method.— The 11,,ilder._ FULFILMENT OF PROPHECY.—It is very remark able that Monsieur Arago, the French astronomer, whose prediction that the Seine would be frozen over, this year, on the Bth of March, was so singularly realised, has been equally right in his anticipations as to the very day when the wet summer (which he also predicted) would end. He foretold that the weather would change on the 20th of August, and so it did, after a storm, which has left behind it fearful traces in France. If the brilliant September, which Monsienr Arago now announces, come true, there will be nothing to retard the development of British industry in the dearth, or dearness. of fu d, for never was the ground so loaded with produce,--the green crops, vegetables, and fruit, being even more a b un d ant than the grain.— Weekly Chronicle. THE RED ECCAITE CON VIC rs.—Active measiares are now in progress in the town of Neath, for the purpose of petitioning her Majesty praying for a remission, or at least an amelioration of the punishment now being undergone by the unfortunate and misguide,' ind,vidualr who were engaged in the Rebeecaite disturbances. A committee is forming of many influential parties in the neighbourhood to forward the object of the memorialists, and we cannot refrain from wishing success to their endeavours, since In many eases the violators of the laws were no doubt led to the commission of the crimes for which they suffered by the excite men t w hi c h preva il e d at th e Feldman. [ADVERTISEMENT.] TO THE MANCHESTER PUBLIC. LONDON AND MANCHESTER RAILWAYS. GENTLEMEN—I am one as much interested as any of you in this important matter ; have patience with me while I say a few words which may tend to the common advantage of all parties, except the lawyers ; and I sup pose that neither you nor I ogre much about them, as they generally know pretty well how to take care of themselves ! We all want a direct line to London, and we want it for our own business, not for other people's, nor to fill other people's pockets ; therefore it must be independent. Well ; we have got such a line before iv, and it has been before us long enough to understand it : it seems to be so good a one, that there is a general scramble for it among engineers, attorneys, and direc tors, all anxious for the honour, and some, perhaps, for the profit of carrying it out. It must therefore be a good one, and just what we want—if we can get it ! This is the only point to which I wish to draw your at• tention, for whet is it to us who does the work, or who gets the pay for it, so long as the work is done, and well done ? Now my opinion is, that if we remain neuter on the question much longer, we incur some risk of not having the work done at all ; " between two stools," but I need not finish the proverb ; only if we want to secure a firm seat, we had beet look out in time, befere we sit down, to make sure of the stool with the firmest legs ! I, for one, have no mind for an awkward fall. I have read Ashurst's letter, and I have reed Reming ton's ; and, as an indifferent person to the dispute, ex• cepting as one of the public, I think I see pretty clearly where the merits lie. Ashurst says, " the line is public property, and therefore it is my line as much as your's, or any body else's." " No," says Remington, " I planted, surveyed, and spent time, labour, and money on it years ago, and now you want to fi ch it from me, because I re ject your aid in carryin g it oat !" And, in truth, Re mington seems to have the best end of the stick, and the strongest arm to use it ; " but," rejoins Ashurst, " you shall not go on without me, for I have the Manchester houses under my thumb, and right or wrong they'll back me !" "We will see about that," retorts Remington, "for it was my line and my project to which they gave their names, and you have dishonestly transferred them to yours; when they really know how the matter stands, the Manchester men are too honourable to countenance your conduct." I believe Remington is quite right ; we have still certain bull-headed notions among us, of what is right or wrong, in regard to property, though such notions are getting a little old • fashioned in these railway days ; but we are not likely to be bamboozled by lawyers, even though true-bred London lawyers ; we know the value of new patterns, and what it is to pirate them. But this is stray ing from my point. Ashurst only states the truth, when he says that he is backed by the trade (though he much exaggerates his trade strength, for I am sure there are not here a dozen first-rate houses in his list, while all along the line, every man, woman, and child, is against him), and Remington states the truth when he says that the trade don't know what they are about in backing Ashurst, and this is what I want to impress upon you. We want the thing done, and no mistake ; if matters go on as at present, we shall snake a great mistake, and a fatal mistake, and a mistake for which everybody but the lawyers will be cursing his own stupidity six months hence. I have been inquiring carefully about it, and I find, as anybody else may find, if they will only take the same trouble, that Ashurst's line, or Rastrick's, or whosoever line they choose to call it, is all bubble and moonshine.: It is now the end of August ; plans, and sections, and books of reference, and all that, must be deposited in some hundred places by the 30th of No vember ; engineers, surveyors, levellers, and assistants, must be employed by the score, and then followed by scores of attornies, clerks, and other beasts of prey ; and to this hour, neither Ashurst nor Rastrick has a single soul at work between London and Manchester, while Remington and Rennie have nearly finished the job ! and Messrs. Stephen, Hutchinson, Rogers, Owens, Cobbett, and nobody knows how many dozens of country attorneys besides, are eternally on the road from one end of the week to the other, speechifying, agitating, O'Connellizing the whole country, and cramming all the newspapers with puffs, notices, and advertisements. Now, this looks like serious business at all events, and there must be money forthcoming somewhere, to pay the piper ! but better than all, I find that Remington is actually employine. Rastrick's men, because Rastrick had no funds to take them on, and now there is not a sur veyor, leveller, or working engineer in the market, to be had for love or money ! ! ! i Let Ashurst deny this if he can ; if he cannot gainsay t, then we have a right to ask him what he means ? and we have a right to ask his backers too, what they mean by all this chaffing ? it is clear what they do not mean : they do not mean to do business, unless for themselves- ; they may mean to kick up a dust, for Remington to water down again ; they very likely intend to shew fight . , so as to make it worth while to buy a cross ; they may create such an alarm among the shareholders as to keep back the deposits, and prevent Remington's shares coming out at a high premium ; and if they do this their, turn is answered, for they must be bought off; but who will have to pay the cost ? Why we shall ; if we buy off Ashurst for ten or twenty thousand pounds, this is an addition of ten or twenty thousand pounds to the ex pense of our independent line, and we have to thank Mr. Ashurst and his Manchester friends for it, for it is only by their aid that he ever can be worth the purchase; if he is not bought off, and goes to Parliament to fight it out with Remington. ;then it will cost some fifty or a hundred thousand, as with the London and York people, and we shall have to pay it to the lawyers ! If he is not playing his cards either for a fight in Parliament, or a cross, then I should like to know why he shuffles them at all, when there is no good to be got by it, either for himself or any body else ? It mast be merely to re venge himself for being discarded by Remington's com mittee, and therefore, we forsooth are to hazard losing our line altogether, that we may gratify Ashurst with a triumph over his former allies and present op ponents ! I defy Ashurst to escape out of one of these three alternatives ; he means to be bought off at our expense ; or to fight a Parliamentary battle at our expense ; or to defeat the line altogether, careless at whose expense, so long as he obtains his revenge ; let him take his ehoice of the three ; either is equally disgraceful to him and to his friends, and equally vexa tious and injurious to the Manchester trade. But Ashurst's friends will certainly come in for their full share both of the loss and the abuse : if no business is intended, they are helping him 1) gull the public for his own selfish purposes: if they really mean to go on, where is the money to come from, except from their own pockets ? If they succeed in checking payment for Remington's line, can they hope that they will get their own deposits paid, when they have nothing in the way of progress to show for it ? or can they expect to be in time for the next session, when as yet they have done nothing but talk ? and if not in time, can they doubt but their shares will fall to a low discount ? Thus the Provisional Committee of Ashurst will have to " pay for all," like Nuncle in the play, out of their own purses, and all Manchester will abuse them for the dis appointment to the trade. Whether they are indemni fied or not, by Ashurst, I cannot pretend to say ; if they are, then it shows that it is Ashurst's personal interest, after all, which we are fighting for, and I fancy that the trade will hardly consent to this when they know it : but if his backers are not indemnified, and by good waterproof, air-tight bonds too, they had better look to it in time ; it is not very pleasant to cash up one's quota of some tens of thousands for useless sur veys, and profitless sections, and acrimonious adver tisements in the papers. The gist of the whole question is this ; we want a line, and two people want to make it ; and they want to fight their battle with our money, and some of our own people are fools enough to lend their names to get up and promote this costly sham fight, at the imminent hazard of depriving us of the object on which we have set our hearts, by impoverishing those who alone seem able to accomplish it ; the question is, whether you will submit to be made tools of for such petty, private, and selfish purposes ? If you will, then my time is thrown away, and in common with yourselves, I must submit to the disastrous consequences ; but if you will not, then you have no time to lose, but come forward at once, like men of business, and tell Ashurst and his friends that you are men of business and common sense, and have no notion of having your best interest sacri ficed .to gratify personal cupidity or spleen.—l am, Gentlemen, yours obediently, A MANCHESTER MAN. P.S. While writing this letter, I have heard that Ashurst and Rastrick have had a meeting of their friends at the Royal Hotel, this morning ; this royal game of humbug must be checked ; it would be more to the purpose if Ashurst would call a public meeting, as invited by Remington, and give a broad contra diction to Remington's charges of vindictiveness and dishonesty ; these hole and corner meetings only prove that there is nothing substantial in the mat ter ; fair play is always open play ; but however that may be, I aver, and I challenge contradiction, that having regard to the progress made by Remington's people, and the less than nothing done by Ashurst, our only chance of getting the line at all, is to give ail our help to Remington, and carry him through on our shoulders; if we trust to Ashurst, and to people who will lend their names without knowing why or where fore, only to make difficulties where all ought to do their best to smooth them, we shall spend a deal of money for nothing, and may wait till doom' s-day for our railway. How does it happen that out of such a host of pretended patrons and supporters, Ashurst can get no stronger acting Committee ? This looks very queer ! Some six or eight names, out of more than a hendred influential patrons ! ! ! and this petty list to manage such a magni ficent undertaking as a line from Manchester to Lon don ! ! Methinks this fact alone speaks volurues---tut insist that Ashurst and his Manchester fripud4 shall give a plain answer to two plain questions—they have been answered already by Ikeinington's Committee, and an swered publicly and satisfactorily, and in person, and at Manchester. Will you pledge yourselves to go before Parliament next session ? Are youiti a state to do so ? Answer this, Messrs. Ashurst, Rastrick, Dillon, Cal decot, and Co., and we shall know what to make of you 22d August, 184!, GENERAL NOTT.-A meeting of the Committee appointed to superintend the erection of an appropriate testi monial to the memory of the gallant General Nutt, took place, on Wednesday se'nnight, at Carmarthen.
