Tie Great .Western Railway Company had never raised it single'cinestion as to what covenant was or was not, or what covenant could or could not be fulfilled by the South Wales Company, but tself. Shortly after this, in October, 1846, th e heads o agreement for completing the line, and leasing it when so completed to the Great Western Railway Company, was entered into and ratified by the proprietors of the two companies. The amount then estimated as requisite was i four millions. Upon the faith of the guarantee so secured investments were made in other lines, which it is estimated will involve an addition to the expenditure of about 175,0001., upon which the Great Western Rail way Company were to have paid interest. Rather more than four years have now elapsed. Any delay in the progress of the works which may have occurred up to the present time has unavoidably arisen from the pecu liar difficulties of the times and measures of prudence in the rate of expenditure have been adopted for the benefit of the Great Western Railway Company as large shareholders in common with yourselves, and with the full concurrence of that company sitting at your hoard. To any such postponement of the comp letion cf the whole undertaking, therefore, the Great Western Railway Company cannot have nor have they ever mentieued any ground of disappointment. The proprietors are aware that in the lest session powers were obtained to raise by the issue of preference shares any deficiency in our capital. With these powers it might be urged by the Great Western Railway Com pany, that we are iu a position to proceed at (nee to complete the entire line. To raise upwards of 1,000,000/. of money required for this ;purpose on advantageous terms, it would be desirable to go before the public with the co operation and assistance of our lessees, and the renewed assurance that their guarantee was available es security to the parties about to invest their money. In another matter it is also desirable to act in concert with the Greve Western Railway Company. We have given notices for an application to Parliament for powers to effect certain improvements in the line, several essential means of communication with the existing shipping ports, and with some new docks likely to be very beneficial to the traffic of the line, and to perfect our arrangements in the Fol est of Dean. These several works, though not essential to the completion of the Lase, are of great importance to the value of the line itself, and should the undertaking ever revert to the pro prietors of the South Wales Company, and their revenue be tic pendent upon the receipts of the line, the failure to obtain these powers at the present time, and even the uncertainty of our proceeding without some of them during the next six months, may inflict a serious and per manent injury upon The company. The Great Western Railway Company may allege that under the heads of agreement, their consent is necessary to these proceed jags. This consent was applied for under very similar circumstances in the last session of Parliament, but was refused, the Great Western Railway Company declining to assign any reason for such refusal : we are shortly , approaching the time when this consent will again be ap plied for. These are the principal circumstances which render it inexpedient to postpone a decision as to our future course. There are three positions, in one of which the company may now be placed. We may now proceed at once to take tho necessary steps to enable us to com plete the line to Fishgusrd. To accomplish this object, it would be necessary to raise a sufficient amount by pre ference shares to enable us to issue the remainder of our debentures 060,0000, the residue of the capital must the'n be raised by preference shares. The rate of in terest at which this money could be obtained would de pend very materially upon the course which the Great ‘Veszern Company might take. The character of the works, the mode of proceeding, and the expenditure in volved in carrying out this portion of the undertaking may be seriously :fleeted by the relations which may exist be tween us and our lessees. A large portion of such expen diture msy be employed unprofitably to both companies; .much of it would be needless, and so far wasted. W e cannot conceive the passibility of any just grounds for doubting that we should ensure the due performance of the terms and conditions of the lease. We have done, and we no doubt should continue to do, everything that we can ascertain to be requisite on our part. But it might be diffieuit, and Would certainly be costly, completely to provide against the risk of litigutinn if an unwilling lessee conceives, however erroneously, that he has grounds of objection. The alternative embraces the other two posi tions: the company, by agreement or otherwise, may be :eft in the independent possession of its own line, and may derive its revenue from the development of the traffic which may fairly be expected upon it. The attainment of this position, however, would be attended with uncertainty, and the revenue mutt materially de pend upon the terms ou which traffic may bo inter changed with the Great Western Railway, whatever traTic 'bight_ result from other sources. The questiou, therefore, ariJts, i' , hether the ~revenue may not be con with the Great Western Railway Com siderfibly, increased, and a greater certainty secured, by e tuld ensure their working -the line with which their plant and resources p an an a 3 r ., ra w n h g l e c m h would enable them to do, and in the most' advantageous the greatest economy manner, with their interest embarked with yours in "Thu Pikces of my famiiy have ! sought no other riches save the esteem and the love of the people ; yon hairs undataken to prove that their cunduct was not so much a noble abnegation as a just and weli-merittd confidence.

The dates thence are but three weeks lateritnarnely, to the sth of October, but the intelligence re ceived presents no new features.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. FORGERY.— George Harcourt, 29, described as a clerk, was indicted for telonlowly forgirqr, and uttering a receipt for the sum of Sot., with intent to defraud the Whitehaven and Eireess Junction Railway Company. Tire prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Partied conducted the case for the prosecution; and Mr. Ballantine, with whom was Mr. kiuth;lestone, defended the prisoner. It appeared from the opening statement of the Learned Counsel, and the evidence which was afterwards celled, - Jere an interest warrant for 41. ss. 10d., payable to Mr. Duncroft, a shareholder in the Whitehaven and Furness Junction Company, was made out by the prisoner on the 17th of January, 1848, and entered in the cash-book of toe company as having been duly paid. Oa the following 12th of February, another warrant for the same amount was issued in the name of a Mr. Wingate, an insurance broker in Glasgow, but the cor responding entry in the cash-book represented the 41. si. 10d. to have been paid to Mr. Duncroft. Now Mr. bVingate was in arrear of one call on his shares, and was therefore not entitled to the interest. It was, how ever, alleged that the prisoner forged the name of Win gate to the warrant to obtain the money from the banker's, and made the false entry in the cash. book to deceive the company. On the 16th of February another warrant was issued, in the prisoner's hand writing, fur 41. ss. 10d., payable to Mr. Wingate, and it was so paid by the bankers, and entered in the cash book, though Mr. Wingate never received the - money, nor had he authorised acy one to sign the receipt to the warrant, which was not in his handwriting. The first of these three warrants was duly paid to Mr. Duncroft, and quite legal and regular, but the other two were al leged to be spurious, and the receipts to be forgeries, in the prisoner's handwriting. Mr. George Hill Wingate, an insurance broker at Glasgow, deposed that in February, 1848, he was a shareholder in the Whitehaven and Furness Junction Railway Company. At this period he was one call in arrear, and this would have disentitled him to receive any dividend. The receipts to the two dividend war rants now produced, bearing date respectively the 12th and the 18th of February. 1848, were not written by him, and if he had paid his call ho should at this time have only been entitled to the payment of one dividend. At the period when the receipts bore date witness was in Scotland. Mr. W. Bailey deposed that he was accountant to the company in question. The prisoner had been employed as one of the clerks to the company; the cashbook which he produced was kept by him, and the entries in it were in his handwriting. Among the shareholders of the com pany was a person named Duncroft, and he was entitled to a dividend in 1848, and on the 17th of January in that year there was an entry in the prisoner's book of a sum of 41. 55. 4d. being paid to him as dividend; and on the 12th of February there was an entry of another sum of 41. 53. 10d. being paid to the same person. A dividend warrant also appeared by the prisoner's book to hare been issued to Mr. Wingate, and on the 16th of February in the prisoner's book there was an entry of a sum of 41. ss. 10d. being paid'to Mr. Wingate; and it also ap peared that a second dividend warrant ;had been issued in the name of ,Wingate, but the entry in the cashbook made the payment .apparently , to refer to Mr. Duncroft. Mr. Wingate could not under any circumstances have been entitled to have received two dividends at this time. These warrants were all signed by Mr. Meyer, who at this time acted as secretary. The several documents re ferred to were then handed to the witness, and he ex pressed an opinion_that the forged receipts were in the handwriting of the prisoner. By_ Mr. BALLANTINE —Witness was merely the ac countant of compaiiy, and did not succeed Mr. Meyer in the office of secretary: The :chairman of the com pany was Lord Lorisdale. He knew nothing of the pri soner till the month of June in the present year, but he had seen;hitn write two or three times. Mr. Roy was the selicitor to the , company. He had examined the boob in the presence of that gentKman, and Mr. Roy called h s attention to the figures 41. ss. 10d., and said he was sure they wore written by the prisoner. Mr. Roy was the solicitor of the company, and he had also acted as solicitor for this prosecution, but be did not know where he was at this time. He could state distinctly that he saw the prisoner write upon one occasion, and he f.,rtned his opinion of the prisoner's handwriting from this tact, and from comparisons he had made with other documents. and from what Mr. Meyer the late secretary had told him. Mr. R. H. Knight, a clerk in the office of Messrs. Roy and Co., also spoke to his belief that' the forged docu ments in question were in the handwriting of the pri- soner. Upon cross-examination the witness said, that Mr. W. Roy attended to the duties of the Whitehaven Rail way Company. He might be the solicitor. He consi dered that the firm were the solicitors to the company. The firm was composed of two gentlemen. Mr. William and Mr. Richard Roy. It was more than he could say where Mr. Roy was at that time. He might be at home ill perhaps. Mr. CLARKSON here interposed and said he had sent tor Mr. Roy. The cross-examination was then continued, and in answer to further questions that were put to the witness he said that he saw Mr. W. Roy at the office on the previous afternoon, and he understood that he had met with an accident by falling from a chaise. He believed that the solicitor fur the prisoner had called at the office with a subpoena for Mr. Roy to produce a letter, and this fact might have been mentioned to Mr. Roy, but he did not know that it had. He remembered a trial connected with the company taking place in Scotland, but he bad no quarrel with the prisoner upon that occa sion. There was a meeting of the company before this trial, and he remembered Mr. Roy telling the prisoner to take the minute book home to the residence of Mr. Meyer, in order that he might insert a resolution be tween the last minute and the signature of the chairman. Lord Lonsdale, so as to make it appear that the resolu tion had been passed at the meeting. The alteration had reference to the period for making a call, and the Book which contained the , entry was put in process in the Court of Scotland. He had never heard that the prisoner had accused Mr. Roy of making false entries in the books of the company, and thereby appropriating large sums of money to his own use; but he believed he did write a letter to Lord Lonsdale corap!aining of his being discharged from his E itu a Lim, but in which nothing was said of any misappropriation of the funds of the company. The prisoner was not given into custody till three months after he had written this letter. By Mr. CLARKSON—The entry to which he had re ferred related to a call, and the alteration was made in order that the date of the notice of the call should appear more clearly. Baron ALDERSON—This shows the value of the evi dence derived from entries in books of this description. Two other clerks in the service of Messrs. Roy were then examined, and they expressed their belie& that the forged receipts were in the handwriting of the prisoner. Mr. W. Roy was then put in the box, but the only questions put to him by the counsel for the prosecution were whether he was not the solicitor for the prosecution, and whether be had not met with an accident on Mon day last; to both of which be replied in the affirmative. Mr. BALLANTINE said be had no questions to put to the witness. John Forrester, the officer, deposed that warrants were placed in his hands, on the sth of October, for the ap prehension of the prisoner and Meyer. The latter ab sconded, and he was unable to find him; but he appre hended the prisoner at his own house, and he expressed himself ready to accompany him to meet the charge that was made against him. After his committal he was ad mitted to bail. calling cut, the other man proceeded to strangle her by twis;ing semething round her neck, from the effects of which i.he fell dossn and became quite insensible. She further said that on the Saturday night previnusly, during the temporary absence of her master and mis tress from home, a man weariog a mask ended at the house, and the moment she opened the door he wanted to get into the house, saying he knew where her master kept his cash box in his bed-room, and that he (the stranger) wanted to get it. That insteed of letting hi rn set his loot inside the slummed the door in his face, and that soon afterwards her master and mistress came home. She further represented that the same man that had come there with a mask had met her in Chiswell-street, when she Ms going up to see her mother, who lives in Wilton gardens, Tabernacle-square, Hoxton, and induced her to go into a house with him in that neighbmsvhood, where he seduced her, adding that she lad seen the same man on other rintos when she went on errands, and that he was frequently loitering about the house where she was in service. Acting upon the information thus given, Mr. Superintendent Haynes had an interview with the young woman on the subject of the attempt at strangu lation she asserted was made upon her; and aithough she at first periisted that her description of what had happened was true, she afterwards, upon being cl6sely pressed, admitted that the greater portion of her state ment wee untrue, and that she had tied the cord round her neck with a view to make it appear that some per son had attempted to deprive her of life. The superin tendent added, that the medical man who was called to attend the girl pronounced it as his opinion that she could not have tied the cord in the manner it was found round her neck, sad that it must have neeessarily been done by some other party. " Now," said the superintendent " if the girl had died on the spot where she was found, and under the circumstances described, with this ligature (producing the cord) round her neck, the supposition would he that she had met with her death from violence, especially after the doctor's opinion had been expressed, and no doubt it would have caused much excitement. That in consequence of her having subse quently confessed that she did the act herself she was taken into nuttorly on the charge of having attempted to commit suicide. In reply to Mr. A.TECKETT, Mrs. Denham, the prisoner's mistress, said that tha prisoner had been in her service about three months, and that she behaved well during that period, the only fault that was found with her being that of staying out longer lima was neces6ary when she was sent on errands. The prisoner, who stood at the. bar with her hands covering her face, replied that she could say nothing in extenuation of her offence—that she did not know what could havo induced her to act in such a manner as had been described, and that she sincerely regretted all that had happened. Mr. A'BECKETT said she had acted a most wicked part. The Magistrate added that he should call upon the prisoner to find sureties. The prisoner's mother, who seemed in much trouble of mind, stood forward, and said that silo could not account for her extraot . dimay conduct, and that she was always a virtuous and well-conducted girl; that she (the mother) had no reason to believe her daughter had been se duced; and that if she were now liberated she should be taken home and looked after. This was the case for the prosecution. Mr. BALLANTINE then made a very earnest appeal to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, and, after comment ing upon the manner in which the affairs of this com pany appeared to have been conducted, observed that it eeerned to him to be a very extraordinary circumstance that, although it was perfectly clear a great number of in dependent persons must have been well acquainted with the handwriting of the prisoner, no witnesses had been called to prove the alleged forgery but the clerks who were in the employ of Mr. Roy, the solicitor for the prosecution. He then remarked upon the feet of Meyer, the secretary to the company, having absconded, and urged that it was impossible for the jury to entertain any doubt but that he had been most extensively mixed up in these transactions, and that in all probability he was in reality the guilty party. Several very respectable witnesses were called on behalf of the prisoner, some of whore had been on intimate terms with him for a great many years, and they ex pressed their opinion that the forged signatures were not in his handwriting. The prisoner also received a very high character for integrity and propriety of conduct. Mr. - CLARKSON having replied upon this evidence, Mr. Berm) MARTIN summed up the whole case, and The jury. atter deliberating; a short time, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. There was an attempt at applause by persona in the court when the verdict was delivered, but it was re preved by the officers. There were other indictments of a similar kind against the prisoner, and the counel for the prosecution inti mated their intention to proceed with them before the same jury on Friday morning. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. SOUTHWARK. Mr. A'BEcKETT consented to give the prisoner up io h(er friends on her father entering into sureties for her good behaviour, and on her promise not to repeat such conduct again; and the Magistrate added that the super intendent (Haynes) acted very properly in investigating the eircumstanc4:s when they were first brought under his notice, and which led to the discovery of the extra ordinary conduct of the prisoner in the matter. ANOTHER CASE OF ATTEMPTED SUlClDE,—Yester day Harriet Sewell, a young woman in the service of Mr. Charles Denham, No. 1, Canterbury Cottages, Now Kent-road, was placrdftt the bar bfluro Mr. A'Beekett, chargi.ci with attempting to commit suicide under 'cir cumstances of an extraordinary nature. Mr. Superintendent Haynes stated that on Sunday night last Mr. Deanna came to the station-house for the purpose of giving the following information:—He (Mr. Denham) proceeded to describe that about nine o'clock the same night, the servant girl, Harriet Sewell, was sent to a public-house in the neighbourhood to order some beer. As - she was absent longer than was con sidered necessary for the purpose, he went out to see what was the reason, and on passing through the front garden ho heard some person moaning heavily, and on going to the spot he found that it was the servant girl, who was lying stretched on the grass. He, with the assistir.ce of a gentleman who was staying in his house with his family, carried her in, and it was then eis covered that she had a piece of cord tied firmly round to-r neck, and that strangulation must have soon taken place if he had not immediately severed the cord. As it wzis, however, she was black in the face,hWrtongue protruded, nnd froth was is , uing from bar mouth, azd she Wis in a state of iniensibility. A medical man was scut . for,. and then i.ceisary timulauti having, been rcsortcd to, the putknt,some time afterwards - recovered suffidently to be enabled to, describe the 'circumstances cuanected with her hqiing b'een found in the situation above mentioned. il.er statement was, that on the night Ifs quest i on; ' as she was crossing the front garden to go for the beer,, she was suddenly seized by two men, and that while one held her and stopped her mouth . from T.: I IAMES. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ATTEMPTED EXTORTION. —John Alorris, 37, a labourer, of 21, Little James street, Poplar, was charged with assaulting Mr. Charles Brown, a pistrycook, of 9, Limehouso-causeway, and by threats endeavouring to extort money from him in the Ferry-road, Poplar. The facts were very curious. Mr. Brown stated that en the previous evening, be tween the hours of five and six, he left home in com pany with a boy in his employ, to deliver some goods at Deptford. O❑ the way home, alter delivering the goods, they pfnsed through the Ferry-road, a very dismal place, about a mile and a half distance from prosecutor's residence. This was about eleve❑ o'clock. The pri soner came op with them and said " Give me a shilling to buy tobacco." Witness refused to do so. He again stopped them shortly afterwards, and said " Give motive shangs, or I'll blow your brains out." Mr. YARDLEY to the prisoner—Do you wish to ask the witness any questions? Prisoner—l work for Mr. Robinson, of Mill-wall. I went to work yesterday, and the master told seven or eight of us that he bad nothing ready for us Mr. YARDLEY-It is possible that this charge may assume o very serious aspect. I cannot say whether or nut that will be the case, but I rrould advise you to confine yourself to askingiquestions at present, as it may assume such an aspect, and I may have to commit you for trial. William Hunt stated that he had been in Mr. Brown's employ three weeks. On the way home from Deptford on the previous night the prisoner came up and asked them the way to the Grundy Arms. Witness told him. The prisoner then said there were people lying along the side of the hedge to shoot people. He said this to try to frighten them, ard told witness to go ahead. He, however, did not relish the idea of having his brains blown out, so he stopped with his master, and the priso ner said he would blow his master's brains out if he did not deliver up ss. He then kept following them, and eventually struck Mr. Brown. He then called out " Po lice," and said Mr. Brown had smuggled goods. Wit ness fetched Lockhart, 177 K, who took the man into custody. 0a the way to the station he escaped from the constable and ran away, but he was afterwards re captured. Ile was rather the worse for liquor. Prisoner—l 'mom nothing at all about it. Mr. YARDLEY—I do nut know whether I ought not to commit you to trial for this very serious offence. Prisoner—l hope you will forgive me. Mr. YARDLEY —No, indeed, I will not. The only thing lam weighing in ray mind is, whether or not I shall commit you to Newgate. Prisoner—l have a wife and three children. Mr. YARDLEY—You bad been drinking; and it is just possible you did not intend to rob this man; but your conduct was abominable. I suspected before I heard all the evidence that you had been guilty of the grave of fence of charging this man with an infamous crime. I am glad that it has not turned out to be so. But it is very serious as it is; and 1 have some doubt whether I am right in dealing summarily with you. The best way I can deal with you is to order you to pay 51. or be im prisoned for two months. Locked up in default. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. APPOINTMENT. Wooawicu, Nov. 27.—Paymaster and Purser John Forster (1832), to the Fisgard flag-ship at Woolwich, vice Tilby. The Locust steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Roger L. Curtis, is to proceed to the Brazils to be employed in the suppression of the slave trade on that station; and the Volcano steam-vessel, at this port, will be the next war steamer for the coast of Africa. The Locust is still short a boatswain's mate, a car penter's mat e , a sa il ma k er, and a musician who is also a painter. The Wellesley, 72, flag-ship on the West Indies and North America station, with Vice-Admiral the Earl of Dundonald, G.C.8., on board, left Halifax, Nova Scotia, on November 5, for Bermuda, accom panied by other vessels of the squadron. The beau ' tiful sight attracted the admiring gaze of all who wit nessed it. Captain Troubridge's death at Canton, from the effects of a coup de soled, is attributable to a disregard of many warnings he had received not to expose him self. The gallant deceased had his head shaved, neck blistered, temples leeched, but all in vain—he died on the 28th September, and his remains were taken down to Hong-Kong on the 29th, by the Hon. Com pany':; steamer Palegethon, and were to be interred on the 29th. Dr. Graham and Mr. Crispin, the paymaster of the Amazon, were in constant attendance on him during his painful illness. Lieutenant John Sutton Williams (1815) died at Campie, on the 20th inst. He entered the navy in 1806, and served twelve years on full pay, but had not been afloat since 1819. Avon steam-tender returned to Devonport from Portsmouth and Woolwich, on Tuesday afternoon. She was obliged to put into Torbay on Monday for a short time. Express packet• brig, Lieutenant -Commander Lory, is to be paid off at Devonport, whither she is ordered for Falmouth. Fury, 6, steam-sloop, Captain Willcox, will be paid off at Woolwich to-morrow at twelve o'clock. Without pulling, or twaddling, or toadyism, we may say that she is in most splendid order, and is a credit to the service and all on board. Hercules stare-ship, 6, Master-Commander Fulton, arrived at Gibraltar, from the Thames, N0v.17. Inconstant, 36, Captain John Shepherd, having dimcharged tier freight, got under weigh at Spithead On Tuesday, at six o'clock, and proceeded to Devon port to he paid off. The freight that was landed at Portsmouth dockyard on Tuesday evening, was sent off yesterday morning by the South Coast Railway, an,l has been delivered at the Bank of England by 'Messrs. E. and E. Emanuel. Phaeton, 50, Captain George Elliot, took out her powder yesterday morning at Spithead, and is ordered into harbour for a new foremast and a relit. The Bloodhound not having sufficient power to tow her in, the De.r;,station was ordered to get up her steam for that purpose. Captain Elliot has arrived in London on leave of absence. Retribution, 9 8, steam-frigate, Captain Warden, is not ordered to the Mediterranean, as erroneously stated. She is waiting at Devonport for the weather to moderate, when she proceeds to join Commodore • Mirtin's squadron. Salamander, 6, steam-sloop, Commander Ellman, left Rio for the East Indies and China, October 6th.
