N°. 18,066.] GR EAT CENTRAL GAS CONSUMERS' C(AII'ANY. E 0 R T. Gentlemen, We have the satisfaction to inform you that the erection of the manufactory and the laying of the Company's mains are proceeding with rapidity, and, according to the report of the engineer. they will' he completed in ample time to be pat in working crder, according to the conditions of our contract, before the 29th of September, when we shall c•nninenee supplying our customers. Inclu ling several streets and lanes, where the works were of the most d Metall. charac ter, the ergineer reports that more than one-halt of the entire City has been laid ; some inconvenience has been necessarily occasioned to the inhabitants, but having selected for our operations tile season of the year wren the traffic in the streets is comparatively small, and having setiefitel the public mind, Porn the declarations and ac tions ..f the old City Gas•Cornpanica, that it was impossible t• break up their monopoly and to secure for the City an abundant supply of this e semial article of tradi g and domestic consumption, without the introduetion of a new c impeny, our superintendents engaged in laying the pipe!, report that they have everywhere been received by the consumers with the most hearty welcome. Tile inhabitants have cooperated everywhere with us in le seising the alumna of incon venience when it was capah:e of diminution, and have cheerfully borne it when it was not. The public prints have made the shareholders acquainted with the fierce opposition this company had to encounter in laying their mains across the Canal -bridge leading from Bow-common. This opposition bore upon the surface the appearance of having been occasioned by the Gas Companies supplying that district ; the directors have reason, however, for believing that the surface of the stream did but conceal the under current of a snore determined and more formidabie character. • Dark and mysterious rumours had for some months been circu lated by the partizans of the old companies, that the Great Central would not be permitted to lay down pipes to bring the gas from their works to the City ; and at various meetings of the local boards of the district where permission was required, the solicitor of the City Gas Company appeared, to endeavour, as he had previoesly done at the vestry at Camden-town, to induce them to refuse their consent. Mr. Tyrrell's exertions were without effect. At three of the local boards the assent was unanimously given, and at the other by a ma jority of 16 to 2. On Wednesday last the contractors commenced the laying of their pipes under the footway across one of the Canal bridges, for the purpose of formiiig the comma dcation between the City and the Company's works. The Battle of the Bri ages has been chronicled by the daily press, and need not be here repeated; it is sufficient to say that, clothed with jest'ee, arthed by law, and backed by the parochial authori ties and the entire force of public opinion, it was not likely that this company would succumb to lawless force. The directors Ad dressed a letter of remonstrance to the Commercial Compani.in wbbse name the proceedings had been taken. Since the receipt of this letter, they have gracefully withdrawn from the unseemly contest, and have left the company's contractors in the undisputed possession of the field, and they are pursuing their operations in peace. At the meeting before the magistrates of the parties ostensibly en gaged in the conflct, the Agent of the City Gas Company, like the stormy petrel, was, as usual, hovering around the scene, but as soon as the tempest subsided he disappeared. The directors trust they may now congratulate their shareholders With the certainty of being allowed to prosecute `their labours to a succes,ful issue amid a peaceful calm, which it will not be permitted to any bird of ill omen hereafter to disturb. The state of the share and capital account of the company is as satisfactory as the progress of the worse. The whole of the 15,000 shares authorised by the company to be issued, have been appro priated as fol ows : To subscribers under the Parliamentary contract who have not executed the incorporation deed .• ••••• • .• • • •• .• 1,167 Contractors in respect of unexecuted w0rk5............ 1,500 Shareholders upon whom calls have been made, including 1,500 contractors' shares for works executed ....•• •• •• • • 12,333 Shares 15,000 12,333 shares of 10'. each is .. • • £123,330 Amount of preliminary expenses, including two Par liamentary contests, law, expenses of deeds, and all other charges of forming the Company, procur ing consumers' contracts, &c. • • •• #15,179 1 4 Amount of payments to contractor° for buildings, works, mains, pipes, services, meters, and land .. 51,332 10 10 Banker's balance • • .. • • • • • • .. — 18,933 10 1 £81,445 2 3 • SHARE ACCOUNT.

If the calls upon the whole of the appropriated shares had been paid up, the capital would have been abundantly sufficient to meet the anticipated expenditure, without any further issue of shar es, i , nd without the exercise of the power of b orrow in; upon mortgage, which, to the extent of 25,0001., is given by the Incorporation Deed. Nothing beyood the deposit has yet been paid upon the 1,167 shares referred to In the account, as held by persons who have signed the Parliamentary Deed only, and there are likewise shares upon whleh, for various reasons, the first call of 11. per share has been alone paid. All the parties are liable upon their covenant to actions for the full amount of their shares, and the shares are also liable to forfeiture; but as the shares of the Company are In demand, the Directors have determined to give to the parties entitled to them the option of retaining them, paying up the c , lls fortwith, or of surrendering them upon payment of their proportion per share of the preliniinary expenses. Any portion that may be relinquished will be offered to the existing shareholders pro rata. The Directors are restrained by the Deed of Incorporation from giving any bonds, bills, or notes, or from borrowing money, oe to contract any trade debts to bind the shareholders; they, therefore, desire to be empowered to borrow any sam not exceeding 25,0001., upon mortgaze at 4 or 5 rer cent., for floating capital, in case they may require any temporary advance until the calls upon the defi cient shares shall be paid up.

NORTH ERN ClRCUll:—Liverpool. Aug. 17. NISI PRIUS COURT. (&fore Mr. Justice CRESSIVELL'.) ELLIS V. THE WEST OF ENGLAND INSURANCE COMPANY, This action was commenced early on Friday morning, and was not concluded until two o'clock to-day. The action was brought on a policy of fire in surance for 5001., effected in defendants' office by the plaintiff, upon his stock in trade, he having recently carried on the business of a draper at Hu?me. A fire having occurred on his premises, his stock iu trade, to the value of the policy, was alleged to have been consumed, soon after which he became bankrupt, and the present action was brought by his assignees in his name. The defendants pleaded a number of pleas, alleging, amongst other things, non-payment of the premium on the policy, that the fire on the plaintiff's premises was the result of csrelessness, and that the plaintiff had fraudulently violated the condi tions of the policy. Mr. Watson, Q.C., and Mr. Aspland appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Martin, Q.C., Mr. Cowling, and Mr. Hugh Hill for the defendants. The evidence on the part of the plaintiff was that at the time of the fire there were goods on the pre mises to the full amount claimed. For the defend ants it was contended that there were scarcely any goods on the premises at the time of the fire, and cer tainly not to the value of the policy ; and that for these reasons the company resisted the payment as a fraudulent imposition. His LORDSHIP having summed up the evidence with great care, The jury retired, and after a short absence re turned with a verdict for the plaintiff—Damages,. CROWN COURT.—(Before Justice Ma HTMAN.) James Smith, aged 16, was charged with having on the 17th of April la•t feloniously assaulted his mi4ress, Mrs. Hannah Knight, with a knife, with intent to murder her, or to do her some grievous bodily harm. Mr. Pollock appeared fur the prosecution, and Mr. Monk fir the defence. It appeared from the evidence of the prosecutrix that she was the wife of a pawnbroker carrying on business in Butler-street, Manchester, and that in April last the prisoner, who had been in her hus band's service about six months, was accused of having stolen ss. from a drawer. After this, on the 17th of April, about 9 o'clock in the morning, as the prosecutrix was sitting in the kitchen with her back to the scullery, in which the prisoner was at that time engaged, she suddenly felt the arm of some person placed round her neck and a knife placed against her throat. She im mediately put up her hands in self defence to protect her throat, and seized hold of the knife, and after a struggle both fell to the ground, and im mediately the person who had attacked her, and whom she did not see, ran away, and she heard the prisoner crying out, " Oh, Mrs. Knight," and run through the scullery into the yard, and thence into the street crying out "Murder." To the best of her belief the person who assaulted her was the prisoner. Her throat was scratched but did not bleed, and her hands were cut. A knife was afterwards fbund in the scul lery with blood upon it. She had never had any quarrel with the prisoner. The Learned Counsel, for the prisoner submitted that the evidence would not sustain the charge in the indictment, as the wounds on the hands of the prose cutrix had been made by herself in struggling with the person who had attacked her, and the scratch on the throat did not come within the legal definition of a wound, and was not a felony within the Act. lle referred to the case of "B. v. .Beckett," 1 M. and R., 526. The Learned Counsel for the prosecution con tended, that it was a sufficient wounding within the statute if the jury were satisfied that it was the pri soner's intention to wound the prosecutrix in the throat, and that her hands were cut in her struggle to prevent it. His LORDSHIP was of opinion that the evidence would not support the charge of wounding within the meaning of the statute, as the skin of the proiecu trix's neck had not been cut, and the cuts on her hands might have been made by herself in the struggle which had taken place. The case must be dealt with therefore as an assault. The L-arned Counsel for the prisoner then ad dressed the jury in his defence, and His LORDSHIP having summed up, The jury found the prisoner Guilty, with a recom• mendation to mercy. Sentence wns deferred. _ _ _ Edward Walsh Was charged wi►h having, on the 6th of September last, aided and abetted in the man slaughter of Richard Lilly. Mr. Monk appeared for the prosecution ; the pri soner was undefended. uv It appeared that on the 6th of last September a prize fight took place at Crossness, near Manchester, between Richard Lilly (the deceased) and John Mid dleton, on which occasion the prisoner acted as the second of Lilly. The fight lasted two hours, and shortly after its termination Lilly died in conse• quence of the injuries he had received. In the course of the fight the prisoner had picked up the deceased several times, as his second. The jury found the prisoner Guilty. His LORDSHIP, in prissing sentence, expressed a strong opinion on the illegality and brutality of prize fights ; as, however, there appeared to have been no circumstances of unfairness, and the deceased had been the aggressor, he should only sentence the prisoner to be imprisoned one fortnight. WESTERN Cll?CUlT—Bristol, Aug. 17. CIVIL SlDE.—(Thfore Mr. Justice COLERIDGE and a Special Jury.) EVANS V LURRELL AND ()VIERS. Mr. Butt, Mr. Sergeant Kin"!lake, and Mr. M. Smith were counsel for the plaintiff; and Mr. Green wood, irlr. Stone, and Mr. Bailin for the de fendants. The plaintiff was a shipowner, residing at Neath, and the defendants were the representatives of the Bristol Steam Navigation Company, and the action was brought to recover damages for an injury which the plaintiff alleged he had sustained by reason of the steam-vessel of the defendants having run into his schooner called the Liverpool Packet, trading between Neath and Bristol, in consequence of the negligence of the parties on board the steam- vessel called the Rose, belonging to the Bristol Steam Navigation Company. On the 15th of January, the Liverpool Packet, having taken in her cargo at Neath, proceeded on her regu lar voyage, under the command of Captain Westlake, under whose care she had for years made her passage. About half-past four o'clock in the morning the schooner passed the light-ship which marked the Welsh and English grounds, the weather being dark and cloudy. In about 20 minutes aftewards the Rose pissed her going down Channel. About half.past five the schooner was close-hauled on the larboard-tack, nearly opposite Walton Bay. She was proceeding up Channel. Suddenly the Rose came upon her, and a collision took place, the schooner being cut down nearly to the water's edge. The bowsprit jib and jibstay were carried away. The crew of the schooner, expecting their vessel to go down, jumped on board the steamer, but afterwards returned on board their own vessel, but almost instantly hailed the Rose, which was pursuing her course, and begged the cap tain to tow the schooner into shallow water, which he did. The schooner was afterwards towed to Pill, and, ultimately to Bristol, where she was put into dock, and remained eight weeks undergoing repairs. The plaintiff claimed the amount he had paid for re pairs, and also compensation for the loss he had sus tained during the time the schooner was unable to take her voyages, which together would amount to about 270/ Of course in such a case all depended upon which captain wa3 in fault, and a great number of witnesses were examined on both sides, each throwing the blame on the other. Eventually, after a trial which lasted a day and a half, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff— Damages, 2431. 7s. 'POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO S William Berry was charged with having most violently assaulted Mr. Eogenius Fenning, common councilman, of the Poultry, in his warehouse, on Friday. Mr. Fenning said the defendant had lived in his service about. seventeen years ago, and there had been reason for discharging him. On Friday, while Mr. Fen in his ceuntiog- house, the prisoner entered and struck him three times across the shoulders with a stick. The surprise was so great that there was no time for preparation, but just a, the defendant had 'inflicted the last. blow, be received a knock down thump from one Of the servants of the establish ment, and the police.Sooa afterwards took proper care of him. The defendant—lt is true I did live with Mr. Fen ning seventeen years ago, and .I committed a sort of a mistake, for whichq was discharged. I went into the shop on Friday last to speak to one of the men at work there, and Mr. Fenning thought proper to accuse me of acts of dishonesty, and protested against my c&l!irg at his house. I was a good deal excited by what fell from him, and I did strike him, but I became very sorry for it. I had been drinking at the time, and my hands could not lie on the table, so I let them go at him. Alderman GIBBS—Did you commit any act for which you were sent away from the service? De fendant—Yes, seventeen years ago I did, but I have made amends by my life for that one fault, and it was because I had redeemed my character, and I had got too much drink, that I attacked Mr. Fenning. I hope you will let me off, as I promised to marry a young lady to-morrow.—(Laughter.) Alderman Ginns asked Mr. Fenning what he thought of the contrition of the defendant ? Mr. Fenning—l do not wish to have him confined if I am protected from his violence. I understand he has been acting extremely well since he left my service. Alderman GIBBS—You see he says he is going to be married to-morrow. I am afraid this will be an ugly preparation for the poor woman who is to have him. I shall take two hail in 201. each for his good behaviour towards you for twelve months. The bail was forthcoming immediately, but the defendant was scarcely released from custody, when he procured a stick, and belaboured his sureties in such a manner as to send them roaring for the police, aild he contrived to get clear away, swearing that he would get married a day sooner than he intended on account .of the extraordinary trouble he had been put to. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWA Y. The following report of the directors will be pre sented to the half-yearly meeting, to be held at the London Tavern on the 22d instant " On completing the first year of their official duties, the directors have to report that, notwithstanding the many difficulties and complications arising out of the past, they have reason to be satisfied with the progre , ,s which has been made towards the establishment of order in the current business of the company, the restoration of its credit, rind the arrangements that have been effected, InAerially tending to reduce the heavy ex penses to which the revenue has been hitherto subj. er, The accounts for the half-year have been made out on the principles and form approved by the proprietors at the last.meeting by Messrs. Quitter and Co., and they haie been subject to the continuous audit of Messrs. Reevss and Mayhew, to whom that important duty was assigned by their co-proprietors. The capital account having been virtually closed, in accordance cith the re solution of the last half-yearly meeting. the revenue is now debited with all diebursements, and it will be ob served that the half-year's income has been charged with 15,4181. 2s. ad. for the rebuilding and replacement of engines and carriages, and that the sum of 8.0001. has been, carried to the credit cf the reserve fund fur the renewal of permanent way and works. A portion of this fund has been applied to the renewal of the Col- chester line, and the repair of stations, as shown in the accounts. The directors being of opinion, from the ex perience they have acquired of the condition of the pro perty, that a smaller sum than that recommended by the committee of investigation will be sufficient for the renewal of the way and works, recommend the share ' holders to sanction their reserving hereafter 22,000/. a year in place of 32,0001.; and it is proposed that this sum should be apportioned by charging the revenue of each half-year ending the 4th of January with 14,0001., and the half-year ending the 4th of July with 8,000/. The receipts of the half-year are 400,7051. 12s. 5d , of which 53.536/. lls. 3d. has been derived from the Nor folk Railway, and the charges as apportioned by the ac countants against that line amount to 37,1811 7s. 7d. The Norfolk revenue has been charged with 400/. as the expenses of the joint committee during the year. The directors regret to announce the unsatisfactory result of the working of the Norfolk line during the past half year as compared with former periods; this is chiefly to be attributed to the opening of the Eastern Union Com pany's extension to Norwich, and the consequent division of the traffic to and from London and Norwich and the districts lying between the two lines of railway; while their junction. which must bring a considerable traffic upon the Norfolk Railway, still remains to be made by the Eastern Union Company. The charges and expenses against revenue during the half-year amount to 365,2101. 4s. 3d., leaving 35,495/. Bs. ad. to which must be added the surplus left atter paying the last dividend, namely, 1,6201. 175., making an available balance of 37,1161. ss. 2d The directors therefore recommend a dividend upon the consolidated stock of the Eastern Counties Railway Company of 2s. per share. and a payment to the Norfolk Company suffi cient to five an equal dividend on their consolidated stock, according to the agreement subsisting bet "eon the two companies. The directors have purchased No. 2 Five per Cent. Stock, amounting to 3,2661. 13s. 4d., formerly issued in excess, and have cancelled the certificates, as was resolved at the last half-yearly meeting; they also gave notice to the holders of the York Extension Five per Cent. Guaranteed Stock that they might be paid off at par on the 10th of June last. In pursuance of which notice, holders of that stock, to the amount of 25,840/., had consented to receive payment when the half-year's accounts were clued, leaving 18,0801. then to be dealt with, part of which has since been paid off; and this stock will be repladed by, debentures at lower rates of interest. Your accountants are still engaged in the ex amination of the capital account, which they have not been able to complete during the past half-year. Sundry payments formerly made in error or in excess have been discovered, some of which are now recoverable; these will amount to more than sufficient to pay the cost of this laborious investigation, and the directors therefore recommend that it be steadily pursued. Since the half year's accounts were closed, the reference between the company and Mr. George Hudson, arising out of the Wisbeach and St. Ives Railway transactions, has been decided, and the sum of 1,0001, with interest at five per cent. for three 3 ears and three-quarters, making to gether 1,1871. 10s., have been awarded to the company and paid by Mr. Hudson, who has also paid the costs of reference. The attempt, by a separate company. to obtain an Act of Parliament to make a railway from Cambridge to Shepreth haying been defeated, and the powers of this company to take land for a branch line in the same direction—namely from Shelford, near Cambridge, to the termination of the Rryst .n and Hitchin Railway at Shepreth, being limited as to time, the directors took means to get possession of the ground without delay, and they have- the satisfaction to- surte that it was obteinel on comparatively reasonable terms, and in all cases by amicable arrangement with the owners and occupiers. Specifications have been p e pared, and coetracts aro advertised for the whole of the works, which are intended to be completed in time for the opening of the Royston and Hitchin Railway. During the present session of Parliament an Act was sought by the Blackwell Railway Company to obtain running powers over the whole of the Eastern Counties Railway; and, had the attempt been successful, the result to this company would have been unjust and in jurious. The directors, however, have the satisfaction to announce, tbrs by the opposition they were enabled to present to this Bill in the Committee of the House of Commons, the powers sought were reduced to such limits as to render it unnecessary to carry the opposi tion further. These have increased the law charges of the company during the past half-year. The Ea tern Union Company have obtained an Act of Parliament, giving them an extension of time to make the branch to Harwich, and other powers; and although the direc tors felt it their duty to call on the proprietors, at their last general meeting, to refuse their assent to certain clauses intended to have been inserted in that Act, they believed great advantages to both companies would result from the opening of the Harwich branch, and they shall be glad if the Eastern Union directors are enabled to devise some mode of completing it, in which the directors can advise this company to co-operate with them. The directors regret that they have not succeeded in con cluding an arrangement with the Great Northern R ail way Company; but being well aware of the loss wbiab must be sustained by both companies in the event of a hostile competition, they trust that a good understanding may be maintained between them until some definite arrangement be made. The directors regret that it should have been deemed expedient by the Newmarket Company to discontinue the working of their railway. It has been a subject of much care and anxiety to this board, and several prepositions have been made to the Newmarket Company for working their traffic, bw., the directors feel it impossible, consistent with your in terests to offer more than they have already done, namely, to work the Newmarket Railway at cost price, and without any profit to this company beyond what might arise from treffic thus brought upon the Eastern Counties Line. The carriages and other materials be longing to that company, hell by the Eastern Counties as security for their debt, will shortly be taken at a va luation. The Electric Telegraph Company's ogre anent to work and maintain the apparatus upon this railway having some time ago expired, remained in abeyance when the present directors took office; negotiations have been since pending which have resulted in a new agree ment between the two companies, to the effect that a fair allowance shall be made to this company out of the re ceipts for commercial and general messages sent along their line, so that in future it will be their interest and policy to extend more freely to the public in the eastern counties the benefits of the telegraph, and to induce the more frequent use of this rapid mode of communicating intelligence. The Lowestoft harbour has bees finished within the estimate, under the superintendence of Cap tain Andrews, the harbour -master, who has been de servedly appointed by the Trinity Board superintendent of pilots for the port, which is now much frequented as a harbour of refuge, accessible at all times of tide to vessels of twelve feet draft of water, and to ships of the larger class at high water. The trade of the port con tinues steadily to increase, nearly a thousand vessels having entered the harbour for trade or refuge during the past year; and new residences are rapidly rising on the south side of the harbour, which, with the esplanade and pier, will render Lowestoft an attractive watering place for the citizens of Norwich and the inhabitants of the midland counties, who have ready access to it by the railways converging at Peterborough. The works upon the Eastern Counties Railway being now completed the directors are enabled to dispense with the services of a resident engineer, besides effecting either reductions in that department, and to place the maintenance of the way and works in charge of the superintendent. The directors suggest that provident funds should be raised among their officers and servants, to which the com pany should contribute, in order to afford, under pro per regulations, some provision for their families in case of accident or injury, to which such men are much exposed, as also in the event of their becoming unable to perform their duties through age, sickness, or infirmity. In the extensive workshops at Stratford taere is now training up a body of men to work and repair the com pany's engine... 4 i, upon whose skill and intelligence much depends. The directors desire to assist them in quiliug a prwlic,:lli useful education, to fit them for t.ueh service. These objects, to encoul- , ge education satin prudent balms, may he cted at a e'ery moderato expense; the duty as well as the interests of the com pany require it, and they trust it will meet the approba tion of the propeietors. During the past half-year pre po3als to week the lozotnotive engines and carriages by contract have been urged upon the directors by several, whose knowledge and experience in railway manage ment are 'entitled to great respect, and persons of skill and responsibility have come forward with substantial offers to undertake such cone acts, so that the board felt bound to give this subject their best attention; but after having maturely considered it they are of opieiou that it is not for the interest of the proprietors that they should lease the working of their line. The directors have, therefore, appointed Mr. John V. Gooch, late of the South-Western Railway, as superintendent of the locomotive department. It is the painful duty of the directors to report that, owing to circumstances which arose era inquiring into the payments formerly made , for land and other purposes, terough Mr. Duncan, the late solicitor to the employ, they found it necee sary to direct the accountants strictly to examine all those transactions; and the result of these inquiries, as reported by . Messrs. Quilter and Company, has been ' that various sums of money, for which cheques had been-given to Mr. Duncan, were not paid by him for the purposes intended; that other sums had been charged and paid twice over; and that certain payments reported to have been made, bad not been made. Mr. Duncan having delivered, and having been paid, his Parliamentary accounts to a point, by the former direc tors, according to a scale of charges agreed upon, he has since also demanded to have additional rcmurerution for the same services, on the ground that the scale agreed upon was below the usual charges, and that he has not had the amount of hi:sine's he w-e.s led to expect when the scale was fixed. A copy of the accountants' report vi as given to Mr. Duncan, and an explanation required. The answer received contained an offer of resignation, which the directors accepted; and they forthwith sought the assistance of Messrs. Crowder and Maynard, who are at present acting as solicitors to the company, and by whose advice they are and will be guided in any proceedings which may take place. It will be remetn bored that, at the time the present directors took office, Mr. Duncan continued to cocduct the law business of the company, although he bad previously tendered his resignation. The well-known talent of Mr. Duncan, the intimate knowledge he poste,sed of all the, company's affairs, and the zeal and industry he displayed in their service, during a period of transition, when there was also much dispute and litigation, rendered- it prudent and necessary to request him to withdraw his resigna tion, and it was not until time and opportunity had been found to search into past transactions, that the present directors could obtain knowledge of them errors. In concluding this report, the directors venture •to state their hope and belief that, difficult and harrassing as their duties have been, and still are, they shall, if they continue to possess the confidence and support of the proprietors, be able substantially to improve the condi tion and- prospects of . the company, and to , lessen the working expenses. ' In so doing they would repeat their resolution, more than once expressed, to endeavour, by conciliatory means, and by co-operation with neighbour ing railways, rather than' by. competition with them, to secure to this company and to the great system of rail ways in the eastern division of Englaed, the traffic and revenue which they ought to possess and retain. - " EDWARD L. BETTS, Chairman.". The general balance sheet to the 9th of July showed a total of 339,3161. 3s. On the credit side, the amount of cash at the banker's was stated to be 92,197/. 18s. 6d.; the amount due by sundry debtors (exclusive of the reserve of 1,6411. 19'. Id., on ac count of irrecoverable balances), 122,414/. 14s. 10d. WESTMINSTER. OBTAINING MONET UNDER FALSE PRETENCES.-- Miss Woolgar, the actress, attended in support of a charge against Matha Barton, for obtaining, under false pretences, 2/. in her name. Mr. Peckham, from the office of Mr. Hewitt, soli citor, conducted the prosecution. The prisoner had lived for four months in the ser vice of Mr. Woolgar, at Beaufort-street, Chelsea, and owing to misconduct, left on Tuesday week. On Thursday last she went to Mr. Starke a butcher in the neighbou r h oo d, who supplies Air. Woolgar's family with meat, and representing that she had been sent by Miss Woolgar to solicit the loan of 21., ordered two lamb chops for that lady. Miss Starke, the sis ter of the proprietor of the shop, immediately gave her the money and sent the chops, upon which the fraud was discovered and the prisoner tuund and given into custody. Miss Woolgar having proved that she had given no authority to prisoner, or any other person, to solicit a loan on her behalf, the prisoner was remanded till Wednesday. LAMBETH. ROBBERY By • CONFIDENTIAL SERVANT.— Joseph Dennis was finally examined on a charge of stealing six waistcoats, the property of Messrs. M. and S. Hyams, clothes manufacturers, King-street, Cheapside. The prisoner, who had been for some time in the service of the prosecutors as delivery clerk, pleaded guilty to the charge, and the solicitor for the prose cution requested that the case might be summarily urged two d ues Gentm t.T le he Gentleman n rst was, that reasons w f i o th r . mak T i h n e g t L h e e ar re ne ci the prisoner up to the period at which he committed the present offence had sustained a good character; and the second, that in order to complete the case it would be necessary to bring three witnesses from the prosecutors' manufactory at Colchester. Mr. NORTON sentenced the prisoner to two months imprisonment; THAMES. ILLICIT DISTILLATION.—Mary Gregg and Mary Ann Adams were charged with carrying on illicit distillation in an unentered place, in Amiel-street, Bromley, Middlesex. Alexander Smith, an Excise officer, stated that on Friday evening he went to the house, N 0.17, Amiel street, obtained admission at the back door, and dis covered a still in the lower front room, which had been recently at work. In the same room there were other articles and utensils used in distillation. In a room above that which contained the still, be disco vered a bottle containing half a gallon of strong spiritF, usually called " jig stuff," the produce of the still, which was warm. The woman Gregg, who gave the name of Smith when she was first captured, said the still was her own, and that the other woman, Adams, did notknow what was going on. She repeated this statement be fore the magistrate, and there being no reason to be lieve that Adams had anything to do with the still she was discharged, and Gregg was fined 301., and in de fault of payment committed for three months, and to be kept to hard labour. WANDS W ORTH. PLATE ROBBERIE9.— William Penlicrop was finally examined up.in two charges of dsraig robberies of plate. Miss Matilda Curtis, of 18, Oxford-terrace, Clap ham-road, stated that on the morning of Thursday, the Bth instant, between half-past ten and eleven o'clock, she saw the prisoner, who was carrying a bundle of herbs, go into the garden of a house oppo site, and raise the window of a breakfast parlour. He then crossed over the road to a man who had a basket of herbs, and exchanged his bundle tor the basket. He returned to the house, and pushing the window further up, went in, leaving the herb basket at the window. After a minut e ' s a b sence b e r e turned with the plate basket, which he placed in the herb basket, and covered it over. The prisoner then ran straight down the road into the Oval-road, where she lost sight of him. Francis Hedger, of 3, Church-crescent, Kenning ton, butcher, said his attention was called to the pri soner, who was running towards the Oval. Witness being in his cart, soon got up with the prisoner, who, directly he saw him, dropped the skirt of his coat, which he had been bolding, and a quantity of plate fell on the ground. Witness, with much difficulty, succeeded in securing th e pr i soner, w h o was a l so charged with the following robbery at the house of Mr. Allen, Lawn-Pl ac ", S outh Lambet h : —O n t h e 2nd inst. the prisoner w as seen b y t h e h ousema id t o lift up the front kit c h en window, enter, and take up two silver spoons. The girl instantly rushed upon the prisoner, who gave her one of the spoons, thinking she would let him go, but she held fast, and called her master, who soon appeared, and the prisoner then threw the other spoon a t hi m and ran off. The prisoner was committed for trial on both charges. COURT l 3 L ERI'vIEN. THE DEATH OF THE RECORDER OF LONDON. Oct Saturday last a special court was held at the Guildhall, in consequence of the death of the Recorder of London. There was a full court. THE GAOL OF NEWGATE. Mr. Alderman and Sheriff LAWRENCE took occa sion to state, before the c ommencetnent of the especial business for which the Court was summoned, that there were no more than four transports, two men and two women, in the gaol of Newgate; and the reason these prisoners were detained there was that they, in consequsnO of illness, were incapable of leaving it. He remembered no time at which the gaol was so clear of tried prisoners.—(Bear.) THE LATE RECORDER. The TOWN CLERK read a letter, addressed to the Lord Mayor and Court of Aldermen by the son-in the death of the and d he Recorder, LearnedGe law Hon. fnatnlentranne.ing Sir P. LAURIE _ said he had the painful task, as senior alderman present, to move a resolution expres sive of the deep regret felt by the members at the serious loss sustained by the death of the late Re corder. For twenty-seven years that gentleman had been connected with the corporation of London, and it was needless to particularise the manner in which the duties of the several offices which he had filled during that period had been performed by him.— (Hear, hear.) Sir P. Laurie proposed the following resolution : " That the Court having viewed with deep regret the intelligence of the sudden death of the Hon. Charles Ewan Law, the late respected Recorder of this city, fi u r p te on ee hssio3. and ur banity, cannot but express their sense of the great loss which this corporation has sustained i n one who so long dis charged with real talent and integ ri ty the various duties, bi judicialexhi biting upon p a o n n d asenatorial, occasionsw hich devolved the greatest united with that high bearing so suited to his position in society. And this Court beg to offer their sincere condolence to the Hon. Mrs. Law and the afflicted family, at the severe b!:mv with which it has pleased Providence to visit them.. —(ileur.) Alderman FAREBCOTIJEE sincerely regretted the melancholy oclasion upon which 63 Court had a sembled, and seconded the resolution inf,v;:d by Sir Peter Laurie, in every one of who ohservations he most cordially agreed. He felt convinced that the widow of their lamented friend would feel some con solation at receiving such a testimony of the respect and honour in which her late husband had been uni formly held by those who had known him so long and so well.—(Hea , , hear.) The resolution was then unanimously agreed to, and a copy was ordered to be transmitted to the lion. Mrs. Law. Upon the motioa of Sir PLTER LAURIE, seconded by Alderman FAREBROTHER, the resolution was or dered to be advertised in the morning and evening papers. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the Court, we were gi gen to understand, after a very short discussion, referred the question of the duties and l ealary of the Mitre Reeorla to select committe e _ • . THE WEST INDIA MAIL. SOUTHAMPTON, AuG.lB.—The Royal Mail COIII. pany's steam-ship Medway, Captain Symons, arrived this afternoon, at half- past three o'clock, from the West Indies, with the usual mails, in charge of Lieut. I. J. Wilkinson, R.N., Admiralty agent. On her homeward voyage the Medway experienced fine weather; winds light and moderate from the southward till the 16th instant; after, from N.W. to N.E. Left Bermuda at five P.M., sth August, per forming the voyage, of 3,019 miles, in 12 days and 23 hours. The Medway has brought home sixty pas sengers. The latest dates brought by the Medway are— Vera Cruz, 16th July; Tampico, 12th; Havannah, 27th Jamaica, 22d: Demerara, 19th; Trinidad, 21st Barbadoes, 27th ; Grenada, 23d; Porto Rico, 25th ; St. Thomas, 31st; La Guayra, 22d ; Ber muda, sth August; Nassau, July 29th; Antigua, 28th ; St. Jago de Cuba, 20th ; Belize, 11th ; Mar tinique, 28th ; Guadeloupe, 28th ; St. Kitts, 29th. The Meiway brings on freight 667,017 dolls. on merchants' account, 36,887 dolls. for the dividends, 571 serons of cochineal, 4 ditto of jalapa, 37 cases of cigars 102 bales of tobacco, 12 turtle, 5 cases o f succades, and 10 bales of sponge. GALE OF WIND.—At St. Kitt'a a south-wester commenced on the 11th of July. The damage on shore was comparatively trifling; but of the shipping, in addition to the account brought by the former packet, apprehensions were entertained for the safety of the brig Index, at the time at Sandy Point, taking on board part of her cargo, and the schooner Governor Light, which vessel was driven out, and it was sup posed had become unmanageable in consequence of her rudder having been unshipped; however, both these vessels returned to their anchorage on Sunday morning, the 14th July. The cutter Union, the pro perty of Mr. John V. Poulse, sunk at her moorings at Sandy Point, and was subsequently washed on s'iOre and broken to pieces. The barque Robert, of London, and brig Premier, of Glasgow, rode out the gale in safety. The barque Benjamin Green, of London, is a total wreck. Sr. JoziN's HARBOUR, ANTIGUA, JULY 11.—The shipping over the bar plunged heavily, but, with the exception of the ship Isabel, rode out the gale. This vessel, being light in balla.t, presented a greater ob ject to the wind and sea, consequently began to drive, at one time being in immediate peril. The crew were compelled to cut away the masts. The shipping within the harbour, with the exception of a small cutter, rode out the gale with little or no damage. DOMINIQUE, JULY 13.—0 n Thursday morning the 11th instant, about eight o'clock, the sea began to assume a rough and boisterous appearance, the wind at the time blowing from NAV., but not at all what could be called a gale. The barometer at that time had fallen a tenth ; towards twelve o'clock appAar ances became more threatening. The wind veered round to the S.W., and the sea became still more boisterous, and the general opinion was that a storm must have occurred to the southward to cause the heavy sea. However, it still con• firmed to rise; and it became evident that the vessels riding at anchor in the roadstead were in great dan ger, as it was impos?ible for them to put to sea, the wind blowing right in shore. About three o'clock the fine barque, the Osbert, of London, which was to have sailed to-day w ith a f u ll cargo of? between 600 and 700 hogshead of sugar, parted her out-shore anchor, and came ashore stern on. In the meantime the sea had risen to such a height that no boat coul4 venture out into it, and no assistance could be rendered to the shipping. One boat, manned with a crew of noble fellows, did attempt to go off to the Osbert, but they had proceeded but a short distance when the boat was capsized, and the crew pitched into the sea, and they were only saved by the exertions of the people on shore, who took hands, and formed a line out into the surf, and tail bold of each of the poor fellows as they were overpowered by the waves, and thus the whole were saved. The condition of the captain and crew of the Osbert now became very distressing • the vessel lay about half a cable's length from the beach, the sea was tremendous, and with every bump it was feared the masts would go overboard and tear the ship to pieces; at last, after great difficulty, a hawser was got on shore, and made fast to a tree. On this one of the sailors managed to get ashore, bringing a small line, to which was attached a noose, hung to the hawser by a large iron hook ; to this another rope was fastened by the people on shore, and the hook again drawn back to the ship, a tub was then fastened to the hook, and in this the whole of the crew, one after the other, was drawn ashore. . . About eight o'clock P.M. the vessel began to break up, and at ten the whole bay was strewed with wreck and empty sugar casks, and now only a few fragments remain in the place where the vessel struck. Both the ♦essel and cargo, we are happy to hear, are insured. Besides the Osbert, the sloops Brothers, Venus, William Stewart, Childs Harold, Jane and Mary, and Calypso, belonging to this port, were driven on shore. _ . At four o'clock, P.M., the North -American steam packet Medway, Captain Symons, with the English mails, made her appearance off the town of Roseau. A canoe, with three men, launched from the beach at the west end of the town, came off, and took the mails on shore. An attempt was made to land a draft of soldiers for the island in one of the packet-boats; the canoe came off again to the boat's assistance, took two soldiers out of her and landed them ; other boats from the ship went to her assistance, and with much difficulty she returned to the ship. At eight oclock the packet proceeded on without the our-mails for England. Captain Dalrymple, of the Osbert, and crew, are passengers by the Medway. JAMAICA. ~~j We have received our customary file of papers and correspondence from Jamaica. The steamer left Kingiton on the morning of the 23d of July. There are not in the piper from this colony any. items at nil worth extracting, if [tie except - , ptri7.ps, the following on the state of the weather and the crops from the Falmouth Poe:— " We have been informed by several gentlemen who havo the management of sugar estatcs in this parish (Tta.lawny). that serious fears are entertained respecting tie crop that is now on the ground, in consequence of the drought that has prevailed for some time. On :erne properties the fields have been entirely re-supplied with new plants, at a considerable expense, and unless the season sets in rapidly, heavy lore; will be sustained. Our advices from Hanover state that thero have been repeated and heavy showers of rain in the country, and the yield of ground provisions is immense. Yams are sold at 4s. per hundred weight, and plantains are retailed in the market at Lucia at the rate of 12 for 3d." The weather generally was very stormy in the sea port towns. At intervals there were good rains, but, notwithstanding, the heat was very great. There had been some little disturbance on an estate 113 st. Ann's, called Knapdale, between the I' ----s - . Creoles and coolies, but nothing very teriou s resulted from it. The intelligence. which reached Jamaica by the lyde, of the intended change in the route of the - Royal Mail steam-packets, has caused a goo d deal of , dissatisfaction, which has b een expressed through the newspapers.. They complain th a t a ll means of coin -12 mlnication with the Spanish Main has been cut off from them. A writer, said to be one of the principal merchants in Kingston, has suggested the formation of a company, for the purpose of supplying a steamer of about 4CO tons to pnserve the Spanish trade with Jamaica. " Should there be sufficient energy to get together such a company, there is every probability," ~, r ites our correspondent, "of its proving favourable to the promoters, and the island trade." The island remained healthy and quiet. COMMERCIAL.

A destructive fire broke out on Saturday of ernoon, in Dagnigge- wells -rout, Clerkenwell, by which many fami, lies have been rendered houseleis, working men throPin out of employment, nod property of immense value de btroyed. Tie catastrophe originated in the workshops of Messrs. Johnson and Peak, builders, Baker-street, Bag nigge-wells-road, near the police-station, while the work men were gone to dinner. The flames, from the nature of the property on fire, had gained a most fearful ascendency, and the idea 'of saving any of Messrs. Johnson and Co.'s property was not entertained for a moment. In fact, every room, toge ther with the stock, workmen's tools, &c., had by this time ignited. For nearly twenty-five minutes after the outbreak not au engine arrived, the first being that of Clerkenwell parish, which was closely followed by several 'of the brigade and West of England. All were most promptly placed in Baker-street, Granville-square, and Bagnigge-wells-road, but notwithstanding every possible exertion to subdue the flames the fire was nbt completely pestered until after three o'clock. The con fusion and alarm that prevailed when the flames were at their height baffles description. In Baker -street, on the side opposite to the houses abutting on the fire, a vast quantity of valuable furniture was piled up, which was immediately taken charge of by the police as they arrived. In Granville-square the furniture was thrown out . of the houses indiscriminately, and has since been placed by the polite) in the district church of St. Philip, Clerkenwell (now under repair), which occupies the centre of the square, until owned; and that in Baker street has been put into the empty houses on the oppo site side for the same purpose. By this calamity it is stated that about fifty men will be thrown out of employ; and it is also stated that when the body of men left to go to dinner, two were placed in charge of a pot of some ignitable matter which was oa the fire in the upper workshop, but which must have boiled over and caused the conflagration. Subjoined is a copy of Mr. Braidwood's official report of the damage done:— "Saturday, August 17, 1850, called by police and strangers to a fire which occurred on the premises of Messrs. Johnson and Pask, builders and general con tractors, 48, Baker-street, Bagnigge-wells-road, Clerken well. The cause of fire unknown.

The Mining Journal furnishes the annexed infor mation relative to the progress of English mining adventure : "There has been more than an average amount of business transacted this week, and the inquiry for leading mines continues, It is gratifying to find that a progressive upward movement in tin continues, a further advance having taken place. Coqer, however, has given way, it being quoted id. per lb. lower. Shares in the follow ing mines have changed hands since our last:—East Wheal Rose, South Basset, Stray Park, Condurrow, Tincroft, Tremayne, Honnock, Mary Ann, Wheal Lang ford, Daren, Wheal Trelawney, South Plain Wood, Warleggsn Consols, Callington, Wheal Russell, Tresa vean, Treleigh Consols. Penton, Crebur Consols, Alfred Consols. West Setnn, West Wheal Jewel, Levat, Black Craig, Kirkcudbright, &c. At the usual quarterly meeting of Wlieal Trelawny the financial statement showed a profit of 1,6:;81 fur the months of March, April, ail(' May. which, added to the balance from last account, allowed a div:dt nil of 1.56 a. being 6/. per share, leaving a balance in hard ef 1,0531.; clueing the above pe riod the awes of silver l.osd ores realized 6,3321. At the meeting of the Bedford United the statement of accounts showed a balance in favour of the mine of 8831.; and an account of payments and receipts before the next meet ing, chewing a balance of receipts over payments of 1,6141.; and an estimate of assets and liabilities, showing a balance in favour of assets of 2,166/., were passed, and a dividend of 2s. 6d. per share declared. At the usual quarterly meeting of Wheal Mary Ann the accounts for the three months ending May showed a profit of 1,993 L, which, added to balance from last accuuur, allowed a dividend of 1,5361., being 31 per share, carrying to credit of next account 1.030/. The directors of the Wicklow Copper Mining Company have declared a divi dend at the rate of 20 per cent. per annum for the half year ending the Ist of March, to which date their ac counts are made up. At the Levant two-monthly meet• ing a dividend of 51. per share was declared, carrying to credit of the next account 7931. At Wheal Seton two monthly account a dividend of 9901. was declared for the months of flay and June, being 5/. per share, carrying to credit of next account 307/. Copper ores sold realized (less dues) 4,3741., giving a profit of 9851. on the two monahs' workings. At Peezance Consols meeting the accounts for the four months ending June showed a balance of 461. in favour of the mines; the amount of tin sold during that time appears to be 5684 The Comblawn adventurers met on the 15th inat., when a balance of 4101. was found against the mine, and to call cf 2/. per share was deemed necessary. At Wheal Sophia meeting a balance of 791. was shown in favour of the mine, but a call of ss. per share was di erred necessary. At the two monthly m( eting, of Dyfngwn adventurers the report from the agent, recommending additional operations, esti mating the outlay at 2,000/., was taken into considera tion, and resolved that a call of ls. per share should be paid monthly, until the required amount be raised. The bi-monthly meeting of shareholders in the Rhoswiddol Lead Mines was held on Tuesday. The accounts of the last two months showed an expenditure of 384/. 3s. 3d.; the proceeds of lead sold amounted to 1671., leaving a bnlence against the mine. At Wheal Langmaid account the balance of 2/. 18a. 10d. was found in favour" of the mine, and a enli of ss, per share was made . At Wheal Mary (Redruth) meeting a balance of. 119/. was found against the company, and a call of 7N 6d. per share was made. At the Wheal Vincent meeting the accounts showed that when all calls are paid, including June cost, tI mine would be about clear of debt. A call of 2s. 6d. per share was made. At the two-monthly meeting of the Ileignsten Down Consols, the accounts ehowed a balance of :54/. in favour of the mine. Anticipating the cost-sheets due before the next two-monthly merlin'', it was found necessary to provide o ft i . r e w o • r l e : i c o h f m high I:+i~iince, a wet rectesary, and nrcording)y para graph • '' e t all '3 e ' d• th 2 e e e . a , 6 le d : : ' p f er so sla to a n re s ,se as n, ; _ca p i ne , n del Rey, With regrind to mining lin rial united.
