The object of this ainlertaking is to form an unbroken link or com munication with all the existing railways, by which means more particularly the western, southern, eastern, south-eastern, and south western parts of the kingdom may be traversed from the northern districts, - without the necessity of making the metropolis a resting place O t iher for passengers or goods, and thus obviating considerable expelise and great loss of time. The length of them ale line will be 62 miles, commencing at Hert font (which has already a branch to the North-Eastern Railway), oentinuing its course by Hatfield, St. Alban's, to Watford, where it will cross the- London and Birmingham Railway, from thence to itickmansworth, Uxbridge, and West Drayton, where it will pass under the Great Western Railway, proceeding by Colnbrook (having a branch to Windsor from the main line at Horton), cross the Thames e.t Staines to Egham, Chertsey, passing into the South-Western Rail way at the Weybridge station, approaching Cobham, Leatherhead, Dorking, and terminating at Reigate, where it will form a junction with tie South-Eastern and London and Brightou Railways. As the project develops itself the mu t cheering patronage is manifest from isfluerftial landowners and other proprietors, declaring that the formation of this line is indispensable to meet the demands or exigencies of several counties, and who have promised to give this project raelr 'undivided support.

The thagistrate ihttanq dbinitsed the men. We shrewdly suspect that in a civil court the over-officious functionary would have been invited to " conduct the case,'' by himself or counsel, against an action for damages.

They place their own interests in the first line, and those of the country after; There is in such conduct neither ints dbn e c t nor iiie kind stetile Etda talent—nothing bitt M ean J. P eal atri bu titi, bti p t iti the intimitte friendship between the Sovereigns of England' and France, and the late visit of her MAJESTY to Eu par ticularly are regarded rather in a favOurable light by writers not much disposed to praise the Ministry. " The Queen of ENGLAND, " says the Revue des Deux Mondes, " came a second time to visit the KING of the FEENcri at the Chateau of Eu. That short but gracious visit has been presented by the Ministerial journals in its proper light:, On this occasion they did not foolishly make it a subject of triumph ; they did not describe it in the style of an epic poem or romance ; they adopted a simple and true language, the best suited to cele brate that happy event. France may feel flattered by the testimonials of esteem and affection given by the young QUEEN of the three kingdoms to the crowned representative of the Revolution of July. To confer that mark of friend ship, Queen Victoria, sailing from the coast of Belgium, pro longed her sojourn on board .by thirty-six hours—a circum stance which enhanced the value of her affectionate visit. On that account was her MAJESTY welcome to the coast *of France, and saluted with a sincere enthusiasm by the people." The Royal Family, from all accounts, seem to take great delight in their residence at Eu, and will not return to Neuilly till about the middle of October. On Friday, the KING and QUEEN, with the Prince and Princess of SALERNO, and most of the Royal Family at Eu, took carriage exercise in the Great Park, returning to the chateau by Tripod. They were accompanied by the Count DE SALVANDY, General GOURGAUD, the Prefect of the Seine-Inferieure, the Mar quises DE STRADA and DE BRAUCACCIO. On Saturday the KING and her Roy-al Highness Madame ADELAIDE, accom panied by Generals ATIIALIN, GOURGAUD, and FRIANT, and the Marquis DE STRADA, took carriage exercise for three hours in the environs of Eu. The following are miscellaneous extracts from the Papers MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. 1 CITY; QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was tolerably goodi and prices were steady. Sales, 3,000 to 4,000 bales, including 1,000 Ainerican on speculation.—A good business was done in New Shares, but the demand for Old Stock was limited. Following up the subject (and a most important one it is) of the construction of railways in Canada, it is useful to quote the following from the Kingston (C.C.) Chronicle:— " A Canadian railroad, to produce the most beneficial effects which can be produced, provincially considered, must com mence at the extremity of Canada west and terminate at its eastern extremity, and be continued on to the sea coast. We published a long and interesting letter in the colums of this paper, addressed to Lord Sydenham, on this subject, when he first came to Canada, earnestly recommending such a work, previously to the vast outlay on the St. Lawrence. We had reason to believe that his Lordship agreed with the writer of that article as to the comparative advantages, but there were political objects and old pledges, as well as old. prejudices, which intervened, and which, put the object aside. That it will be accomplished we entertain no doubt, and at a much earlier period than some of our contemporaries seem to think, nor will it fail to be a profitable undertaking when ever it is done—of this we are perfectly certain." The arrivals to-day bring no intelligence of general in terest. The weather has the effect of exciting a little uneasines still, and rather checks business.

A young malt Was charged with having been " drunk and disorderly" on the preceding Saturday night, and with using " abusive language." The policeman who made the charge stated to the magistrate that he found the prisoner quarrelling with a female, and that on being requested to:go on peaceably, the prisoner made use of "improper language." The young man denied the charge in Coto, and complained, in his turn, that the policeman had interfered with him without the slightest occasion, and that he (the prisoner) was quite sober at the time. Now up to this point here was simply a conflict of evidence. For aught we shall contend to the contrary, it might have been quite, open to the magistrate to decide on the statement of the police-constable ; but Mr. MALTBY did not do so. He not only did not act upon the denial of the prisoner to the charge, but he would not listen to the excul patory admission of the constable himself, who had made it I The following extract is at once curious and amusing:— Mr. 3IALTRY (to the constable)—Was he Intoxicated or not? C 27—No. lie CERTAINLY WAS NOT. Mr. MALTBY—Why is he so charged on the pollee-sheet ? C 27 He was NOT drunk, Sir. Baker (Inspector C)—l took the charge. Prisoner certainly was drunk, or I should not have locked him up. C 27—But the man was not drunk, certainly. Baker—Why, I read the charge over to you (C 27), and yon signed it. Now, we will not pause to comment on the grave non se quitur of BARER'S affirmation that the prisoner must have been drunk, or he should not have locked him up— seeing that, in police jurisdictions, locking up or un locking is like kissing, which is said to " go by favour ;" nor at BAKER'S innocent attempt to cor roborate his own impression of the prisoner's drunken ness, by the statement that he had entered that fact in the deposition, which the police-officer had signed after hearing it read over—as if it was a thing unknown for a policeman to depose to that which his own subsequent evidence would show not to have been the fact. But what, we ask, was Mr. MALTBY'S conduct under the circumstances? This magis trate, it seems, was " somewhat puzzled at such conflicting testimony ; "—a human fallibility, this puzzling which even police magistrates, it seems, are susceptible of, like ordinary mortals. But what course did he take? Did he give the prisoner the benefit of the " doubt," according to the equi table and universal maxim of our law? Did he estimate the credibility of the policeman's evidence by his own ad mission of the previous falsehood of which he had been guilty in entering the charge, according to that axiom of ethics as well as law, which rejects averments that resort to falsehood even in aid of truth ; and holding truth to be unity, 'discredits for truth whatever is intermingled with falsehood? Did he, on the ordinary construction of probabi lities, repudiate the accusation against the prisoner when it was distinctly denied by the accused in toto ; a ithdrawn and disproved, as to its gravamen by the admissions of the ac " The Minister of Public Works has left Paris on a tour to the South. He will visit the centre of France by the line of Vierzon, follow that of the railroad between the Ocean and the Mediterra nean, and, having inspected the great works now in execution at the ports of the Mediterranean, and particularly Marseilles, will go by the railroad to Avignon and Lyons, returning through Burgundy to Paris by the Lyons railroad. The Minister is expected to visit Marshal Soult at Soultberg. " A letter from Leghorn, of the Bth, informs us that a successful operation had been performed upon Ibrahim Pacha by Dr. Torri, and that strong hopes are entertained of his perfect recovery. " Marshal Bugeaud arrived at Soultberg on the 9th, and left on the 11th. The Honiteur Parisien says, •If we are well informed the interview of the two Marshals was of a nature to show a satis factory accord as regards our colony in the views of Marshal Bo geaud and the well-known intentions of the President of the Council.' "The Phare dela Manche quotes a letter from Cherbourg announcing the arrival in that porton the 6th inst., of Admiral Napier, who visited the breakwater and all the naval and military establishments. "A letter from Veniceinforms us that at the late regatta there the ex-Empress Marie Louise and the Duchess de Berry were present Marie Louise saw the regatta from a balcony ; the Duchess de Berry remained in her gondola. "A commission has been appointed at Algiers to examine and re port upon various questions connected with the marine, particularly the following points :-The means of defence for the coasts, road steads' and harbours ; the organisation of the naval administration in tie different localites, and the means of increasing the maritime trade, and obtaining from it, in case cf need, a supply of men for the royal navy."

But these, and other still more flagrant exhibitions at our police-courts, are constantly sup plying cogent arguments against the principle of " centralisa tion of authority," Carried to the excess in which it has been applied to both our police magistracy and Executive. We have accounts from Madrid to the 9th inst. The Council of War was still engaged in inquiries relative to the outbreak of the sth ; and it is said that they have con demned four persons to be shot. Several of the journals ex press great indignation at the conduct of the Government on the occasion. " Even allowing the greatest number, it was not possible," says one of them, " that six hundred men could hope to obtain any advantage by attacking, without arms, five times the number of troops."

The letters from the Turkish capital give a most flattering description of the recep: ion given to the Duke DE MONTPENSIER by the SULTAN and all his Ministers of State. One of these letters, dated August 28, says:— " The Pera world has been busy this week with the sayings and doings of the Duke of MONTPENSIEIL His reception by the SULTAN and the functionaries of Government has been of the most cordial description ; and the open bearing of the Prince, and his liberal commendation of everything around him, in the best vein of French politeness, has won for him golden opinions. His Highness was not incognito, as was the case with the visit of the Arch-Duke CoxgrarermE, a proce dure which, when the pretensions for respect are undimi nished is a slur on the courtesy due to the entertainer. The standard of France was unfurled at the mainmast of the Gomer steam-frigate, and the vessel on its arrival saluted the Ottoman flag with twenty-one guns. I perfectly agree with the notions of Turks on this subject, that when the Arch-Duke CONSTANTINE lately crept into the Bospho rus with a bare mast and silent guns, and within ten minutes of his arrival crossed in a boat to visit the stone raised to commemorate the signing of the treaty of Unkiar Skellessi, it showed alike bad taste and bad manners. The Duke of MONTPENSIER has since attended high mass, where he evinced most exemplary devotion, has dined with the SULTAN, or rather in his palace, has given a dinner to the diplomatic body, when those personages were duly presented, has reviewed the troops of all arms, and expressed himself astonished and delighted with the efficient state of the Turkish service. The Cuvier French steamer had arrived at Constantinople from Athens, bringing M. PISCATORI, the French Ambassador there, ostensibly to pay his respects to the Due DE MONTPENSIER, but in reality, it is said, to invite his Royal Highness, on behalf of King OTHO, to visit Greece on his way home. Accounts had been received from Odessa contradicting in many respects the dispatches of Count WORONZOFF relative to his victories in the Caucasus. It appears from them that after some useless attacks on the brave mountaineers he was compelled to retreat with the loss of 8,000 men. The following appears in a letter from Alexandria of the 26th ult.:— " The last accounts from Constantinople have produced great sen sation here. We are lost in conjectures as to the real cause of the fall of Riza racha, whose power was considered to be established on a firm basis. The activity of the Egyptian Government in fortifying Alexandria and repairing the fleet excites much surprise. The forts on the side of tke Rosetta Gate are completed, and those on the side of the 3fahmoudle Gate are approaching towards completion. As to tile fleet, there are a ship of the line and live other vessels now in the careening dock." CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DA Y OLD COURie. Jams Steptoe was indicted for stealing a quantity of peaches and nectarines, the property of Mr. George Gunner, who stated he was a market gardener residing at Wimbledon,. and that he had packed up such fruit for market. John Whitehad, police-officer, stated that he stopped the prisoner, and after taking him to the station-house, he searched and found some peaches and nectarines on his person, and a large quantity in his handkerchief. The prisoner stated that he had found the property on the road. ' Mr. PAYNE addressed the jury for the defence, and called several witnesses to character. The RECORDBR having summed up, The Jury consulted, and found the prisoner Not Guilty, on the ground that it was doubtful whether the fruit was really the property of Mr. Gunner. ; (Before Mr- Justice WIGUTMAN and Mr. Justice Eat.E.) ; OBTAINING MONEY UNDER FALSE PRETENcEs.— William Vickers, a respectable -looking obtained bleloin under false pretenc es , f rom M r . Sil ves t e r Foster,g man, surrendered t o take his trial on a charge pf Tokenhouse-yard, a cheque for 500 j, t Mr. Clarkson and Mr. Chamock appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Sergeant Shea, Mr. Bodkin, and Mr. James for the defence. Mr. CrAzirsosr opened the case, and from his statement and the evidence, which was very voluminous, it appears that on the 9th of June last, the defendant called upon the prosecutor and represented that he was about to change his account from the Westminster Bank to another, and requested the loan of an exchange cheque for 5001., which, as his references were highly respectable, the prosecutor unhesitatingly gave him, receiving one of his in return. The cheque for 5001. was drawn on Prescott and Co., and the defendant, on presenting it, at once got it cashed ; while, on the contrary, the prosecutor, on pre- Senting defendant's cheque at the Westminster was refused, they in forming him that they had never had an account with the defendant. The prosecutor, on being cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant SHEE, admitted that on the 10th June, even after he had ascertained that fhere were "no effects" at the Westminster, had bought for him, end transferred into his hands, railway scrip in the London and York, }mounting in value to 1,2561. 55., for which the defendant handed ver a cheque, leaving a balance of 781. still owing to the prosecutor. The defendant subsequently g ave him a cheque for 576 1 . to cover the qne first dishonoured and the balance remaining upon the railway transaction,, which was satisfied by Mr. Fitch. It unfortunately turned out, however, that the paper with which Mr. Fitch had satis fied the debt turned out to be of no value at all. ; George Rush examined by Mr. CHARNoCK—Iie was a clerk in the London and Westminster Bank. They had no account with Mr. Tickers on the 9th of Juno. Ile knew Mr. Vickers, but he had never hind a shilling in the bank. Borne cheques of his had been produced, L ut they were dishonoured. Robert Banks, clerk in Prescott's, said that Mr. Foster banked with them. He paid a cheque of 5001. when presented. John Banks, jun., was also a clerk in Prescott's. Be presented a cheque of Mr. Vickers's at the Westminster Bank, which had been *honoured. 1 Mr. Sergeant Sun submitted to the Court that the allegations in the indictment had not been pro v ed. In the first place, there was no ealdence that the detbndant had stated that he had an account with the London and Westminster Bank, and with respect to the remain ing charges of false pretences, they were in like manner unproved. The Learned Sergeant quoted cases to show that, it the charges in the Indictment were inseparable, and if one of the false pretences were Insufficiently proved, then no judgment could be passed upon any of the allegations. The objection was, however, overruled, on the ground that in the indictment before the Court the charges were not inseparable. ; Mr. Sergeant SHEE then addressed the jury`. He represented the defendant as a member of a most respectable family, his father having been a partner in the well-known American house of Maynard and Mickers, of Sheffield ; his brother then being a head of the firm, and the defendant himself an alderman there. He (Mr. Sergeant Shee) atonid not conceal that, when he entered that Court, he felt the re sponsibility of the task which devolved upon him ; but new lie felt certain that he should prove with the greatest certainty, that through out the whole of that transaction the defendant had conducted him self like an honest man. The Learned Sergeant then analized the evidence adduced on the other side, pointing out the weak points against his client, and dilating upon the circumstances which were in his favour. Witnesses were then called to character. 'Thomas Dunn, Esq., Mayor of Sheffield, knew the defendant as being a merchant and Director of a joint-stock bank, and he kaew him always as an honest and upright man. IMr. Ellison, agent to the Duke of Norfolk, and other highly re spectable witnesses, gave a similar character. White ;Mr. Justice Wrearriseale they summed up, and said that the jury would have to throw aside all extrane ous matters, and t o decide simply upon this—whether the prisoner obtained the che q ue, in the first instance, with the view of defraudi n g the p rosecutor. The jury, after consulting, returned a verdict of Not Gchauilty. THEFT FROM MADAME FORGEoT. — M ar Y rged with hiving stolen three yards of ribbon, a bracelet, and a bank note of 501. value, the:property of Eliza Forgeot, the Inimitable French actress, add James if`Mahon for having received the same, well knowing them to have been stolen. 'Mr. Clarkson was retained for the prosecution, but no Counsel appeared for the defence. Mr. CLARKSON, after stating the case to the jury, called Madame Forgeot, who stated that the female prisoner had been in her service at the time of robbery. She (the prosecutrix) had a jewel-box in her bed-room which contained, among other things, a 501. note. (The case was proceeding when our report left.) Rugby and Huntingdon .

Real del Monte, Unrogistored t• - LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY We find little in the Paris papers to interest the English reader. In fact the most complete tranquillity prevails in France. The Government, if it does not give entire satisfac tion, is careful to give no great cause of offence ; there are no repeal meetings in that country to vary the dull scene, no great agricultural assemblages; the war between the Church and the university, not like our Puseyite war, is carried on entirely by the pen and with but little asperity, and even politics and national antipathies excite the most transient notice. The Government journal, the Globe, to find matter for a political article is obliged to travel back, not to the last session only but to the decease of the MIRES Ministry. 16 remarks nevertheless require attention for their truth and for the insight they afford to the taCtics of the Opposition. "That party," it says, " does not cease reproaching the Government with what it calls its in fatuation for the English alliance. Not only the Opposition reproaches the Government with the good understanding established between the two States, but does not cease to repeat that England cloaks her jealousy and her ill-will with hypo critical friendsnip. Is the Opposition consistent with its former conduct and policy in this question ? Certainly not. It plays here a new part, which it assumes to satisfy personal ambition. Up to 1840, the Opposition did not cease to re present to the Government the evil intentions of the Con tinental powers. It foretold that a storm was to burst on us from the north of Europe : it beheld the holy alliance marching on our frontiers, and cried out—' To arms!' At the same time it praised up the English alliance, and endeavoured to prove that we could only count on the friendship of the nation which first recognised the Revolution of July. Every one remembers the speech which M. MAU GUIN then delivered with the applause of the whole Opposi tion. Every one remembers those afterwards pronounced by M. Tfillos. What do we hear at present? The very oppo site to what was said five years ago. In fact, since 1840, that is to say, since the accession of the Ministry of October '29, the Opposition has declared itself to be inimical to the Eng lish alliance, or rather to the good understanding which exists between France and England; and by_ the same altera tion a part of the Opposition has pronounced in favour of an alliance with the Continental powers. In four and twenty hours the enemies of the day before became the friends of the morrow, and vice versa. One preaches fOr Austria, another for Prussia, and a third fur Russia. What is the secret and main-spring of this change in language? Whence comes it that the Hon. Members of the Left deem wretched to-day what they found excellent yesterday ? Nothing is more easy to be explained. The policy, principles, and s fortune : of MARKET NEWS.--(THIS DAY Edward Ma!kisser, a young . T . by yn the furious riding o f a man express from an e ven i ng man T he new sp a per, BOW-STREE.— eng cT ged T D sun AY :) was charged with furious riding lathe S trand on the p revious evening. The charge was made by a pers on Iwhom we understo od to be connected with the press, who said , t hat on p assin g alon g the Strand o l a th evening k : his which n w d a e s r st o otw attractedas newspaper, and at the same time observed a female lying pr os t rate in the road. His motive for coming forward on this occasion was that he had so repeatedly observed the same conduct from the other servants of the establishment that he considered it a duty he owed to the public to bring the case before his worship. The magistrate said he was aware an evening paper was making great exertions to give the earliest information relative to railway matters, &c., but the safety of the public must not be compromised on that account. A cabman was brought forward, who swore that the prisoner was riding very fast at the time, and that be (the cabman) observing the accident, laid hold of the bridle, and insisted that the prisoner should come off. The prisoner, in doing so, assaulted him by knocking his hat off. Mr. Finch, the publisher of The Sun, here addressed the magis trate, to point out that the horse could not have been going at the pace mentioned by the witness, for the moment the rider was unhorsed, the animal very quietly walked to the stables ; but he was inter rupted by the Chief Clerk asking if he (Mr. Finch) was a solicitor. The M.soista.urn, in giving his decision, said that as the prisoner had no witness to prove the contrail', he had no other alternative than to inflict the usual penalty, 405., for furiously riding, and 40s. for thg assault on the cabman, which was lulmediately paid.

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY The quantity of English Wheat left over from Monday's market being very small, and the arrivals fresh up on that day rather limited, the show of samples was unimportant, owing to which, the unfavourable change in the weather for harvest opera tions in the north, and the incleased attendance of both London and country dealers, the demand for that article was active, and, in some instances, rather more money was obtained by the factors for selected qualities of both red and white. Several orders having been received from Belgium and Holland for the purchase of Wheat under lock for immediate shipment, holders were firm, and would not sell except at an improvement of quite is per quarter. The show of fine parcels was small, and a full average amount of business was doing, at a trifling improvement in value. The supply of all kinds of Barley on offer was small, while the trade with most descriptions was rather active, at full prices.

The deceased was a carpenter, but had not followed his trade for the last three years. He obtained a scanty livelihood by hawking brooms about the streets for sale. He gene rall y s p ent the whole of his mone y in rum and beer, and was in t he habit of- leading a dissipated life. On Monday he went into a beer -shop in Whitecross-street very much intoxicated, and soon after was taken ill. Mr. J. W. Mason, sin, geon, was called in, but life was quite extinct. The surgeon was of opinion that the deceased's death had been accelerated by hard drinking. The jury returned a verdict of " Death from excessive drinking." rHEATRE ROYAL, LYCEUM.

That Supplement would. have been DOUBLE, but for the operation of a stupid and arbitrary Act of Par liament, introduced by Mr. Spring Rice, to limit the size of the Times, and other papers obnoxious to his SUPER FICIAL legislation. That gentleman professed a desire to extend the principles of free trade, and yet, with his wonted consistency, he restricted their application with regard to the Press—the true organ and expositor of public opinion ! We hope that Sir Robert Peel will correct the wilfulness of the ex-Chancellor of the Exchequer, and restore the Press to the free exercise of its own proper discretion in en larging its pages to meet the increasing demands of an enterprising people. In that case we shall be happy to present our readers with a DOUBLE " SUN." THE WEATHER.—Sox OFFICE, SEPT. 17. rIIERMODIETER, Lowest, 53; Highest, 60; Noon, 62 BAROMETER, 29.55. WIND S.

Centralisation has been the ruling principle of Sir ROBERT PEF.L'S administrative career, as it had been that of the Minister whom he succeeded. It has been adopted by Sir JAMES GRAHAM ever since he took office under the Premier, with a becoming deference for the opinions and the example of his leader. We must, however, in fairness admit that it is under many conditions a valuable accession to the theory of domestic government. In no instances has it been so largely carried out of late years as in the remodelling and consolidation of the authorities to whom the Legislature has referred the executive superinten dence of the laws relating to the police of the metropolitan districts, and the sustentation, maintenance, and management of the poor. The principle is one undoubtedly liable to very grave objection on constitutional and legal grounds. It is objectionable on the former, be cause its direct tendency is to transfer from the advisers and Ministers of the Crown, or from the Executive recognised by the Legislature, and even from the Legislature itself, those functions and that responsibility which the Constitution has devolved directly upon them. It is objectionable on the latter ground, since it almost inevitably occasions, and therefore too readily sanctions, serious infrac tions of personal rights, and unwarrantable violations of the personal liberty recognised in the subject by the common law of the land. On these accounts it becomes our duty, as public journalists, carefully to note, from day to day, the mode in which these powers are administered by the hands is which they have been centralised. And where their abuse is necessarily an extended departure from Constitutional and legal rights already compromised to a certain, though it may be an unavoidable degree, by their creation, we shall not feel ourselves called upon to apologise for the apparently tri vial character of any case of such abuse to which we may di rect the attention of the reader. The worst precedents arise out of the smallest beginnings : and the sound maxim of po litics as well as morals is—principiis obsta. -. Very recently we have had to demonstrate an enormous perversion of the enormous powers of the Poor-law Commis sioners in the department of one of their subordinate autho rities. We may shortly recur_more at large to that " Ando ver Union HoUse" cue. Our present object is to animadvert on two cases that have swelled, within these three or four days, the list of almost daily acts of misconduct on the part of the constables of the metropolitan police. The first of the two cases we are about to notice occurred at the Clerkenwell Police-oflice on Friday. It presents no features of importance to the public as regarded the character of the facts upon which it was brought before the magistrate, but is of considerable gravity in reference to the violation it involved of those personal rights and that personal liberty to which we have just now alluded. Two working men, de cently attired—and, for anything that appeared to the con trary, welt behaved, and of good character—were brought up before the sitting magistrate, after having been incarcerated all the preceding night, and until put in the dock, before Mr. GREErtwooD, on Friday morning, on a charge of having stolen a set of harness belonging to a tradesman, from some stables in Thanet-mews, Burton-crescent. This charge was one, to all intents and purposes, of felony. The magistrate asked the police-constable, what evidence he had to support it ? The man replied that " one of the prisoners, after his ap prehension, said he had been in the mews after his coat on the night the robbery was committed.. There . was . no further evidence against him." Not one whit less crumnatory would have been the charge that he had been, that evening, within the little parishes of Marylebone or St. Pancras; not one whit less ridiculous the inference that, ergo, he had been concerned in any robbery that might have happened within those rather extensive limits. Yet, on no better foun dation than the accidental statement that one of these young men had been in the mews—not in any certain house or stable in that mews, on Thursday night last—a statement, as the magistrate observed, which must have been elicited by questions on the part of the policeman evidently addressed to the party with a view of extracting from him matter of s p t a a r b , l d e e self-crirnination ;—on no better foundation did this con- PasreseurTnelintaol take ealall morning, night, aand tirot o delinquents to th k : k ne u x p t police-office, two young men , " decent and hard-working," as they were described to be. In the offensive " slang" that it seems to be always deem e d necessary to adopt • a our police-office reports, this Dogberry, E 13, "had charge of the for case," as if he were some person professionally employed the prosecution ! Mr. GREENWOOD asked the intelligent "ser geant," with reasonable astonishment , why he had arrestedthe men ?--adding that "he might just as well have arrested on the same charge any other person whom he had found walk ing in the street.

The Revising Barrister resumed his sitting to-day at the COM of Common Pleas, Guildhall, at the usual hour, when the further consideration of the Livery list was gone into. The only case of importance brought up was in reference to Mr. Pegg, of Old Barnet-road, Finchley. In support of the ob jection taken to his being on the register, it was proved that his re sidence was opposite to the six mile-stone on the road to Barnet, and therefore three-fourths of a mile beyond the boundary laid down by the Act of Parliament. The REVISING BARRISTER decided that the objection which was urged by the Liberals was good, and therefore Mr. Pegg's name was struck off the list. The Court then adjourned till to-morrow, when the Fishmongers' list will be gone into. APPALLING ACCIDENT AT THE ROYAL ARSENAL, WOOLWICII. SEVEN LIVES LOST THIS MORNING. One of the most frightful occurrences that haslately occurred,lhap pened this morning in the Royal Arsenal, at Woolwich. A few minutes before 10 o'clock a loud explosion was heard in the laboratory department, at a building known as No. 1 breaking-up shed, and as sistance was immediately at hand, the men rushing from various parts of the department to the spot. As soon as ingress could be obtained a fearful spectacle presented itself. Immediately behind the dear, crowded together in a confused heap, lay the scorched bodies of five men and two boys. These were immediately removed to an adjacent shed on stretchers. The building being on fire, the alarm-bell was rung, and the engines from the different departments, with the Royal Sappers and Miners and Royal Artillery, were speedily on the spot. The flames, by the exertions of the men, were soon subdued, their ravages being confined to the building, the roof of which had been already blown off, and some slight damage done to the roof of an adjacent building. It would appear from what has bees gleaned in other parts of the same department (for not one of the unfortunate beings in the devoted building has escaped to furnish any information), that the men and boys were at the time em ployed in breaking up rockets, and, through some friction, the whole mass accidentally ignited, thus at once consigning seven unfortunate individuals to instant destruction. The names of the persons who thus lost their lives are John Craig (master), an aged man, and one of the oldest servants in the department, Henry Butters, an aged man with a large family, and his son Henry Butters, a young married man, Robert Burbage, and Michael i'urtell. Four of these were what is called laboratory men. In addition tea these, two boys, named Robert Leonard aid Henley, lost their lives. Purtell was a labourer belonging to the storekeeper's department, and was engaged at the time in loading rockets. A man named William Reed, who was engaged with him at the same time, had a very narrow escape. It would appear, that when the fatal occurrence took place, the unfortunate persons made a simultaneous rush towards the door. Unfortunately, the doors opened inwards, and to this cir cumstance some of the chief officers of the establishment attribute their destruction. By the side of the doorout of which they had vainly endeavoured to escape their blackened corpses were found. The writer visited them shortly afterwards, and they presented a fearftd proof of the dreadful agent to which they had been exposed. Their clothes, and even their boots, were either wholly or partially con sumed, their bodies literally roasted, and the flesh in many cases deeply inci eel ; every vestige of hair was consumed off their heads, and their features so disfigured as to render identification almost impos sible. As soon as the fire was subdued, a party of the Royal Sappers and Miners, under the command of Colonel Barney, R.E., one of the heads of the department, and Lieutenant and Adjutant Webb, R.E., proceeded to pull down the remaining parts of the shed, many of which were in a dangerous state. The remains of a dog were dis covered in one corner of the building. It was the opinion of a me dical gentleman who viewed the bodies, with the writer, that death took place from asphyxia, suffocation by carbonic acid gas. THE NORWICH FESTIVA NORWICH, SEPT. 15.—The rehearsal commenced this morning at ten o'clock, with Spohr's oratorio of Calvary, and Haydn's Seasons. The orchestral and choral forces are magnificent; the former amoanting to a hundred. and fourteen, amongst which are Lindley, T. Cooke (who leads), Howell, Grattan Cooke, Williams, Lazarus, Puzzi, Baumann, Harper, Prospere, and others' well known for their instrumental excellence; the latter consists of eighty-four trebles, fifty altos, sixty-eight tenors, and seventy basses. Benedict is tke conductor of this mighty musical army. The principal singers are Madame Grisi, Miss Dolby, Signor Mario, Mr. Hobbs, Mr. Machin, Madame Caradori Allan, Miss Poole, Signor F. Lablache, Mr. Hawkins, Mr. Bradbury, and Herr Staudigl. The Bishop's palace is already crowded with guests, among whom are Lord Lansdowne, Sir Charles Lemon, Sir John Boileau, Lady Ward, and other noble families. Lord Suffield and the Dowager Lady Lichfield are staying at the splendid residence of Mr. Kits•n ; indeed, every nobleman's and gentleman's house in the neighbourhood is crammed from parlour to attic ; the genial hospitality for which England in the olden time was so gloriously distinguished would appear to be again restored. The festival commences to-morrow evening with Handers Alexander's Feast, Mozart's sinfonia in G minor, and a " miscellaneous mixture," in which the Italians will exercise their most sweet voices.

Smithett, Master-Commander, arrived this morning from Dover to be refitted; and her commander and crew will proceed to Dover in the Swallow steam-vessel, to resume the duties at that station. The Black Eagle steam vessel, Mr. S. Black, Master Commander, arrived this morn ing from the Isle of Wight, and will occupy her usual station opposite the Dockyard, Woolwich. Commander John B. l'urvis, recently commander of the Alfred, 50 guns, and Captain Grace, with several other naval officers, have been named as anxious to obtain the command of the Grampus, 50 guns, fitting at Woolwich. Several of the arrangements connected with this fine vessel have been made under the direction of Captain Grace, who was deputed by the Ad miralty to see them effected. Some idea may be formed of the great strength of the Terrible steam-vessel, when it is stated that the diameter of the axles of the paddle• wheels in their brass beds, is one foot nine inches, and the length of the stroke of the engines eight feet; causing thirteen revolu tions of the powerful engines per minute. SCULPTURE ON THE CONTINENT.—Amongst the numerous additions making to the splendour of the square of the Opera, in Berlin, the following sculptural embellishments are spoken of as in project or preparation. Gigantic groups of warriors, and of " Victory," are executing, after the de signs of Schinke], for the Royal Bridge ; and the same artist is making designs for the ornament of the Guard-house. On the side of the Unter den Linden, the monument of Fre derick the Great is proceeding rapidly— Rauch having nearly completed its numerous figures. Opposite the colossal eques trian statue of that monarch, it is proposed to place a simi lar statue of Frederick William 111. To the statues of the Generals Bulow and Scharnhorst at the Guard-house, are to be added those of Kleist and Tauenzien ; beside Blucher, to be placed bronzed statues of Generals Gneisenau and York ; and the Palace of the Princesses is to be ornamented with statues of Stein and Hardenburg. For all these works Rauch, it is said, has already received the royal command. The Austrian Emperor, on the occasion of his coronation at Milan, as King of the Lombards, gave a number of commis sions to the most distinguished of the Milanese sculptors, leaving them perfect latitude in the choice of subject. These works, to the number of seven, are now exhibiting in Vienna :—A statue of "Peace," by Cajetano ; a " Prodigal Son," by Albondio Sangorgio ; an " Infant Jesus," by Ri naldoßinaldi ,• " Rachel and Jacob at the Well ;" a figure of a " Fate," by Croff; and two by the Professor Pompeo Mar chesi—one a bust of the poet Monti, and the other a group on the old theme of " Venus carrying off the weapons of Love." We may mention here that the marbles of the Pyrenees are coming into use for the supply of the large works executing in Prussia. Twelve fine columns of the marble of Campan have just been finished at Bagneres de Bigerre, for the Museum at Berlin. The monument decreed by. the States of Bohemia to be erected to the memory of the Emperor Francis is begun. It is to be an equestrian statue Of the monarch, invested in his robes as King of Bohemia; and will be ornamedted with twenty-four statuettes repre senting the circles of the kingdom, the capital, and allegorical allusions. The whole is to be seventy-five feet high. LYCEUM THEATRE.—On Monday evening, after the deservedly successful drama of The Governor's Wife, the admirable burlesque of Open Sesame; cr, A Night with the Forty Thieves, was revived, and acted for the first time this season. In the burlesque Miss-G. Hodson made her debut. She is very pretty, and will so tioubt prove an acquisition to the company at this theatre. Although CSuffering from extreme nervousness, she went through the part of egia with complete success. She possesses a good voice, which will be heard to greater advantage when the timidity of a first appearance Wears off. She was deservedly encored in most of her songs. Mrs. Keeley, of course, acted the part of Morgiana, as she alone can act. 'eeley, as the brave Ilassarac, was as droll and humorous as ever, t o nd kept the house in a continual laugh. Miss Fairbrother was of urse the Captain. Frank Mathews and Wigan each took their original parts. It would be unjust not to mention the doings of " L the forty." The gallant and devoted band went through their perform ance with great military skill and precision, and were rewarded with great applause, which was richly deserved. Great credit is due to their drill-sergeant for the pains he has taken with them. The re vival is a decided hit. The house was crowded to suffocation. FOOT-RACING AT WALWORTH.—Yesterday the Beehive Cricket-ground, at Walworth, was very largely attended by the admirers of the recreative sport of pedestrianism, who were highly gratified by witnessing the prizes contested by some of the most supe rior runners. The first race was for a handsome silver snuff-box, con tested in heats over 100 yards. The entries were—Glenn, Mak piece, Exeter, Bertram, Smith and Pattersons, novices, Martin, Mor timer, Weaver, and Brompton. Martin, Makpiece, and Weaver, who were the several winners, then ran the grand heat, and after a spirited race, Martin won the prize. Second prize—A silver snuff box, which was walked for by eleven men, and the distance being seven miles ; after two miles, several of the competitors fell into the rear-rank, and the race was made by Jacques, Haynes, and Willet, who struggled hard for the trophy, and which terminated by Jacques coming in first, and Turner second. The walking of Jacques was much admired, and he performed the seven miles in one hour and ten minutes, fair toe and heel.— THE Ea° MAxot.—The novel feat undertaken by Molloy, jun. (a lad of sixteen), and which was to clear one hundred eggs from the ground, they being laid in a line at a yard apart, to go down and pick up one egg with his mouth, and convey it in this manner to one end and de posit It in a tub of water, and remove the whole within fifty minutes, for 101., came off yesterday. The stripling entered upon his hercu lean task with great activity, descending to the ground and rising with elasticity, and bounding away with the egg to its destina tion. lie made repetition one hundred times, and in the course of the match proved himself " a true chip of the old block," and finally concluded his undertaking in forty-eight minutes, thus winning by two minutes, and covering five miles and three quarters (less twenty yards) within the stipulated time. The weather was very unpro pitious, notwithstanding which the youngster achieved the stakes. THREE PERSONS DROWNED.—On Sunday last Mrs. Graham, the wife of one of the lightkeepers at the Plymouth Bleak water Lighthouse, went with her son, a lad about six years of age, "to visit Mr. Graham, on the Breakwater. About seven in evening they left in a waterman's boat, with the inten tion of returning to Plymouth, On Monday morning Mr. Findlater, the foreman of the works, shortly after land ing, discovered the body of the lad, with a basket under his arm, on the northern side of the Breakwater, near the jetty. This discovery was the first intimation which Mr. Graham had of his loss. The boat, which was rather crank built, was in charge of a man named Ward, and, as no account has been heard of her, it is sup posed that she went down in a squall, with the boatman and Mrs. Graham and her son, soon after leaving the Breakwater. The dark ness would prevent persons on board the shipping in the_Souid from seeing such a catastrophe. _ _ ELOPEMENT. Yesterday morning, a young lady, residing with her parents in the Kennington-road, eloped with a gen tleman from her home. The family were thrown into considerable alarm and anxiety by her sudden disappearance ; hut about twelve o'clock her father received a letter from the fugitive, informing him of her marriage. The young lady is about eighteen years of age, and possessed of considerable property in her own right, left by a relative. THE RECENT ACCIDENT AT SIR CHAPMAN IFIAR snALD AND Co.'s.—Yesterday morning, William Branton, a man in the employ of Sir Chapman Marshall and Co., No. 179, Upper Thames-street, who received so serious an injury on the previous day, by fracturing "his skull from a fall into a cellar beneath one of the warehouses, an account of which appeared in The Sun of yester day, expired at St. Thomas's Hospital, only surviving the accident Si few hours. The poor fellow has left a widow and family to lament his untimely end. HORROR or UNION HOUSES.—A poor man of the name of Thomas Stacey, of Hinton, aged forty-eight, showed such a dread of the union workhouse as to die of starvation on Monday last, after having subsisted for eight weeks on 55.—Bath Journal. - A man named Cirier has been condemned to death by the Court of Assizes of the Aisne for setting fire to the house in which his wife and his mother-in-law resided, with the intention of liurning them to death. He confessed his crime,.and said he had pre viously made three unsuccessful attempts. The intended victims were with dittculty rescued from the fate that threatened them. ---5.r.,-----,....-i',APr------„,, CAPTAINS IN THE NAv i• g I , Will r ee° ee d We itaire within a very short time, as our readersi .
