FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. GLOBE.—The style in which Mr. Glad.,tone (if the Quarterly article on Ward's Ideal Church is cor rectly attributed to that Right Honourable ecclesias tical politician) sets aside, without argument, the views of those who consider the existing Church as having been founded by the Reformers of the six teenth century—receives an appropriate commentary in the resolutions at the great meeting in Exeter. It neither belongs to Mr. Gladstone, nor any other ecclesiastical politician, by virtue of the mere idea which he and other High-Churchmen entertain of the original titles, and apostolic succession, of the Church—(which idea he rather cooly assumes as the one held by the " instructed members generally" of that Church)—it does not belong to such statesmen, to follow out the shadowy motives of polemics in public action. Indeed, Mr. Gladstone has good reason to know this. Robespierre told the Jacobin Club he was obliged to comelo them for consola,ion, and open his heart, afflicted by the want of civism of the C. , nvention and Committees. In like manner Mr. Gladstone rushes to the Reviews, from a Cabinet dead to his Churchism. Mr. Gladstone would no longer know himself, if it were not for the Tri mestrials. lie is like Dame Trot, pitifully shorn of her nether integuments by the Pedlar (or Peeler), whose name was Stout—and his last chance of self-recognition is, that his " little dogs" of the press still " wag their little tails" in welcome to him. It must be infi finitely consolatory to Mr. Gladstone, as member of a Government that is positively getting into a scrape for the love of endowing Roman Catholicism, to be still suffered to do the indignant in the' Quar terly at poor Mr. Ward, for " laying down in the clearest terms, that the rival communion of the Papal Church in England is not schismatical !!" Take your choice, Mr. Gladstone. Either the " rival communion" is not schismatical," or else your Government—the Government graced with your all guaranteeing orthodoxy—is going out of its way to encourage schism, and help it to endowments ! But, alas! nusquam luta fides! While Mr. Gladstone, in one article of the Quarterly, is predicating " schism" of the " rival communion,"—Mr. Croker, in another article of the same Quarterly, after intimating, in no obscure terms, the policy of " a direct State provi sion for the Roman Catholic clergy of Ireland," pro ceeds to recommend to Lord Roden, and other such pillars of Mr. Gladstone's exclusive churchism, the extreme propriety of carrying out the Charitable Be quests Act - by endowing the rival Church themselves! We should like to know what extra amount of italics and CAPITALS, notes of interrogation ? exclamation! dashes —, and all else pertaining to the well known war-establishment of type of the Quarterly, would, have been put in requisition, in the Melbourne era, it' the following sentences had appeared in an organ of Whig opinions :—" The Roman Catholics of Ireland are rapidly growing in wealth and weight, though not in proportion to the growth of the poorer population. What, then, is more proper than that the rich should be permitted, if they plea§e, to take upon themselves, to the relief of their poorer neighbours, a larger and more per manent share of the expenses of the due and decent celebration of their own rites, and the respectability of their pastor ?, But it is not the affluent Roman Catholics only by whom this Act will be considered an indulgence; we trust that we shall see that the more considerable Protestant proprietors will come forward to avail themselves of this privilege— they will feel equally with the Roman Catholic the charitable impulse of increasing the comfort and independence of the priest, and of alle viating, if not of altogether saving, the burden of his maintenance to a population too poor in general to maintain itself." We have somewhat strayed from the reference, with which we set out, to the great meeting at Exeter. But the topics are most intimately connected. The more we see the Administration conceding to Roman Catholics—the more firml y ♦ we are called on, as Protestants, to make good our own position. Mr. Gladstone's recipe has been utterly discarded by the Government of which he is a member—the recipe, namely, pro pounded by him in his 'Church and State'—of up holding " truth" as truth—and discountenancing rival communions as schisms. It is now quite clear that truth, as truth, finds no more preference with this Administration than with those whom Mr. Glad stone and others denounced for their latitudina-' ri anism. It remains therefore with this Pro testant community to compel regard to their views of truth,—and no way of doing this can be more proper than that resolved by the Exeter meeting. Indeed their diocesan has, in some sense, the merit of having suggested the very course now adopted. The Bishop of Exeter has admitted the pro bable inconvenience of many directions of the rubric. But, instead of letting these quietly remain asleep, as for some two centuries past, he suddenly inculcates their disused observance --moved, in fact, by the new zeal of the restless tail of his junior clergy. But he has himself suggested that the same authority, which imposed these ritual matters, may abolish them. To that authority his laity appeal. They appeal to their representative in the Church—to that authority which—whatever may be held to make churches—can alone make, and keep, any church a public and privi leged establishment. They petition the Sovereign for the word " Forward !"—not for the mere sanc tion of the statu quo. The clerical movers cry "Back ward !"—the laity—" Forward !" God help the right ! THE GAME-LAWS. Whether the farmer will derive more advantage by the agitation against game being taken up by persons who are not game preservers, than if the landlords took up the question, we shall not at pre sent affirm nor deny. But we can safely say this, that many tenant farmers in all parts of England, who feel the game to be a serious grievance, and who have also been afraid of the Anti-Corn-law League, are now much more friendly to the League, since some of its leading members have come for ward as " farmers' friends" upon the game question. We understand that Mr. Bright, taking advantage of the extensive agencies and ma chinery of the League, has recently sent a circular into every part of the kingdom, addressed to leading agriculturists, asking information as to the injury done to the crops by game. In a certain district in Hampshire, remarkable alike . for the fertility of its soil and the abundance of its game, several farmer► have been consulted as to the replies which should be made to the queries put to them, and they gave their answers thus : Question. " How many hares or rabbits are equal to the keep of a sheep ?" Answer. " Two—with what they eat and what th key damage." Q. " What is the difference in value between a farm on which game is preserved and one where it is not ?" A. " Twenty-five per cent." Q. "Do landlords generally make an allowance equal to the damage caused by game ?" A. " They do not." Q. "Is not game preserving very prejudicial to good farming and to the interest of the farmers ?" A. "It cannot be otherwise." _ _ Q. "Ti it not injurious to the morals and character the farm labourers ?" A. " Abundantly so." It is then remarked by those who make these re plies, that Mr. Bright should not have confined his inquiries to hares and rabbits. In one field, occu pied by a farmer on an estate covering six miles of country, the whole estate swarming with game, as many as two hundred pheasants have been counted this year on twelve acres of barley stubble. They had fed there during the ripening and harvest ing of the barley. Some of them were shot on the stubble ; and one we are informed by a Hampshire correspondent, which came into the possession of one of the farmers who signs the replies to Mr. Bright, was examined, and "contained in its crop 506 perfect barleycorns, exclusive of some corns half digested, which are all preserved and can be shown to any one." It is then shown that these barleycorns are equal to a gallon of barley each day for each hundred birds. In another field, of twenty-eight acres, on the same estate, but not let to a tenant, the enormous number of 1,200 pheasants has been seen at once. This field was sown with barley by the landlord for the use of the birds ; but they were not confined to it, nor to its locality. They invaded the farms. -A farmer, writing some little time ago in the Salisbury and Winchester Journal, states that he has known up wards of eight hundred grains of sound wheat, be sides a mass partly digested, taken from the . stomach of one pheasant shot in a field newly sown. He supposes that to be the food of the bird for one day, that the seed lies thirty days in the ground, and that therefore one pheasant extracts from , the seed sown twenty-four thousand grains !' He asks what the loss must be where hundreds- of pheasants flock into the fields, as is the case in his neighbourhood ? " It may be said," he observes, " that this calculation is too high. I think not. In the case mentioned everything was fair • the bird was shot by a game-preserving nobleman, who gave it to a tenant on the spot, and he had the curiosity to examine it. Let those, however, who will not believe, obtain one and examine it ; and then put their calculation as low as possible, and it will prove high enough to show that instead of doing the farmer good, it inflicts on him an enormous injury." This Hampshire farmer alludes here to assertions some times made that the pheasants relieve the farmers of grubs and insects, and seldom injure their corn. We believe where they are preserved in such numbers they must destroy - a very considerable quantity of corn. We understand at a farmer in stteheped his seed that county, who has this year wheat in a liquid prepared from vitriol, with a view to preventing a disease to which wheat is liable in his ►district, has had the misfortune to poison some of his landlord's pheasants by so doing, and thereby get him self into serious trouble. This, at least, proves that pheasants pick up a farmer's seed wheat. Scar cely a. spring or summer comes, but we hear of diseases in the wheat plant; and so loud, and apparently well founded, are the complaints, that we should think any remedy would be applied that might be proved effectual, and any experiment encouraged which seemed reasonable. We see the manufacturers effecting great changes for the public good by new chemical appliances. But place them on a footing with the farmer—let their property be exposed to pilferers, and let it be a crime in them to use any chemical ingredient which, wheii tasted or touched by the pilferer, would destroy its life, and where would be their progress in manufactures, or their advance ment in science ? We know nothing- of the worth of the Hampshire farmer's wheat liquid. But we think that diseases in wheat being so universally complained of, it is unwise to restrict him from making an experiment, merely because that experi ment caused the death of those birds which were eating his seed wheat, which their owner had no right to allow them to eat. We find some difference of opinion as regards the amount of destruc tion actually done to the crops of the farmer by the game. But one thing is certain, that in districts where there are no artificial grasses, corn, nor turnip crops raised, no hares nor pheasants, nor even rabbits, thrive. The extensive dis trict of the New Forest, in Hampshire, proves this. There the shelter, water, insects, worms, acorns—everything but the farm fields—are in favour of game ; and though well watched by keepers, there the game will not accumulate. On the con trary, wherever an attempt is made to preserve game in a corn-growing district, success is certain and easy. The only enemies to it are the poachers. We learn from another local paper that there are at the present time one hundred persons in Winchester gaol for offences against the game-laws ; or against those laws which, though not called game-laws, are used for the protection of game against poachers. A considerable portion of these are com mitted from the neighbourhood of the great game keeping estate already alluded to—where 1,200 pheasants were seen on twenty-eight acres of barley stubble. These prisoners are kept in prison at the expense of the county—the heaviest part of which is borne by the farmers. Their families are main tained in the workhouse also by the farmers and yet the farmers are called upon to aid and assist in preserving that game which so much injures them. We have been informed that a nobleman, who is a rigid preserver of game in the south, Old whose estate includes parts of several parishes, has forbidden his tenants to rake their stubble, or permit the poor people to glean it. He has also forbidden his tenants to turn their pigs out into their own fields, either to eat up the lost ears and grains of corn, or the acorns which drop from the trees in the hedge-rows. All these must be left to the phea sants, even though every hedge-row and roadway on the farms is included in the measurement for which rent is paid. We are aware that such illibe rality as this cannot be charged against all landlords ; far from it. But what between those who are thus in active hostility , to their tenantry, and the many more who injure their tenantry unin tentionally, it is no wonder that the farmers as a body see little hope of being relieved by the landlords from the game grievance. We repeat, that the leading men of the League have found the want of protection from game a means of ingratiating themselves with farmers who did not lis ten to them on the corn-law question. And farmers who once believed in the virtue of the corn-law are now questioning if protection was ever meant for them, when game is so increased every year upon them, and all their complaints of it are so unheeded. Thus Mr. Bright, merely as a member of the League—as an advocate of free trade—as the enemy of the corn-law—gains an advantageous position by taking up this great grievance of the farmers. But we presume that the injustice done to the tenant farmers, and the immorality spreading wider, and deepening and hardening as it spreads, amongst the poaching population, are what the Honourable Mem ber for Durham has had more especially in v;ew.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current of Jan. 3.) SUGAR.—Firmness has characterised the West India Sugar market ,this week, the quantity on show has been small, and the quality of the principal part indifferent To-day there was a good business transacted in West India Muscovado Sugar, but merchants mere, in some instances, compelled to accept rates rather under those previously quoted for brown and inferior yellow, but mid, good and fine kinds, supported the former currency. 520 were disposed of, making the total purchases for the three market days 1,490 hhds and tierces. RETINED.---.-There has been much activity in the mar ket for refined. Goods since we last wrote, the home trade` have been eager purchasers, and the Sugar houses are, for , the most part, cleared. The consumption continues , to be as large as ever, and refined is still muck cheaper, ,in comparison with good and fine yellow West India ; brown lumps have been selling at 72s 6d to 735, standard lumps 748 to 74s 6d, Tittlers ord to mid 73s to 748 6d, good 75s to 76s 6d, fine and very fine 77s to 83s, Hanibro' loaves 74s to 82s, double 83s to 90s, and wet lumps 70s to 71s per cwt. Bastards are plentiful ; fine selling at 48s to 545, good 43s to 475, mid 41s to 425, and low 38s to 40s per cwt ; of the lower descriptions, the stock in particular is a heavy one. For Treacle there has been an immense demand ; boiled from West India Molasses fetching 21s to 225, patent 22s 6d to 23s 6d, and Golden Syrup 24s to 27s per cwt. In Bonded Crushed Sugar a further advance has taken place in prices, 30s 6d to 31s per cent having been paid, indeed, in some cases, orders have been refused. There has been a lively demand fur Loaves, higher prices have been given, and they rule as follows :-Turkey, double refined 1 2i to 4 lbs on board British ship 38s to 425, Hamburgh Cubs 355, 9 to 10 lbs 33s 6d to 345, 13 to 14 lbs 82s, Tittlers 20 to 301bs 31s to 31s 6d, and Prussian 40 to 45 lbs 41s per cwt. Pieces are selling readily at 25s to 275, being higher. Bastards are in good demand at 20s to 21s for yellow, and 19s for brown. For Treacle prices have risen to 12s 9d to 13s per cwt. The value of notch Crushed Sugar is 21s to per cwt. MAURITIUS.- There has been a greater desire mani fested on the part of importers to realise, and a decline in prices has taken place of 2s to 3s for good and fine yellow, and Is to I s 6d for inferior, middling, and brown and grey descriptions; the supply has consisted chiefly of bright yellow qualities; the demand, however, has been good, and 5,355 bags at public sale were all disposed of tine yellow at 60s to 63s 6d, good 57s 6d to 59s 6d, good mid 56s to 575, mid 54s to 55s 6d, low 52s Cwl, low heavy 49, 6d, good brown 495, ord 425, fine grey 58s to 595, good 56s to 575, low to mid 52s 6d to 555; and washed 53s to 60s per cwt. The quality of the Mauritius Sugar is decidedly superior to that of the former season, and it is now cheaper than West India or Bengal. EAST INDIA.-This afternoon three parcels of Bengal Sugar, amounting to 2,451 bags, were submitted to pub lie competition, and sold at full rates-good mid and good yellow at 51s 6d to 595, mid 54s to 575, low 52s to 53s 6d, good damp brown 455, mid 42s to 42s 6d, low 39s 6d, damp yedow 55s 6d to 575, good sound white 665, 'and damp and washed 60s 6d to 64s 6d per cwt. FOREIGN.-To-day there was more enquiry for Fo reign Sugar, and 1,400 chests of yellow Havannah were sold privately at 21s 6d to 23s for good to fine quality, being full rates. The market generally has a brisker ap pearance. COFFEE.-Importers of West India have shown firm ness, and none has been - brought to public sale, but by private contract purchases to a fair extent have been made, and full rates are given ; the supply of middling and good descriptions is very small, but the stock of ordinary and good ordinary is large ; the low rates that prevail for such cause merchants to supply the market sparingly, as there is a good consumption going on, and stocks in the dealers' hands by no means large. For public co/. petition 300 casks, the chief part Berbice, are declared, the quality of this kind of Coffee is decidedly inferior to that of previous seasons. 'Although there is a large stock here of all sorts of East India; still the leading importers are not inclined to press sales, which may be ascribed to the cheapness of all descriptions. With Ceylon the market has been sparingly supplied. aid by private contract several purchases have been made in Plantation kinds upon former terms, and this is the cheapest kind of Coffee subject to the 4d per lb duty ; for good ordinary a fair demand has existed privately, and full rates are paid. Only 512 bags have been offered at public sale, good ordinary pale sold at 52s • to 53s ; country damaged first class 51s, second ditto 50s 6d ' • pale broken 48s ;. pea berry 69s td 69s 6d, and country damaged, first class 65s per cwt. 'For public sale 1,500 bags nearly all plantation kind are declared. Holders of Mocha are still reluctant to reduce their prices. Company's Java is more in esti mation, and the, e are buyers by private contract of good ordinary pale at 50s, but there are no sellers under 51s and some parties require 52s per cwt. For Singapore there has been a steady demand at 30s to 365, and su perior at 37s to 42s per cwt. Although prices are un usually low for other East India sorts ; still few pur chasers are at present to be met with ; Padang is 24s to 28s, and Sumatra 20s to 23s per cwt. There are few orders for Foreign Coffee at present, but holders still remain firm, and purchases cannot be made but at full rates. A better demand is shortly looked for only for Foreign, but also for common East India Coffee. Rust, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS.-Of East India, Lee wards, and Demerara some parcels have arrived this week. The market has still a quiet appearance for Jamaica, and the only sale that has come to our know ledge is that of 100 puns, common and smokey, 30 to 32 per cent over proof at 33 6d, 30 to 33 over clean quality is s he 6d ld f p o e r r 3 g s 9. 9 il d un to . 4s, good 4s 2d to 4s 6d, and fine 5s to 5 In Demerara little doing, and 3s to 3s 4d is the value of strong.

Young liyson is wanted. The business transacted in Imperial has been at late rates. Of Gunpowder there is not sufficient at mar ket to supply the demand, and prices keep high. For Cape there has been an increased demand, and stiffer rates are paid. Hyson: Skin is fetch ing prices rather above those that prevailed of late. Orange Pekoe, fine scented is fetching 3s 4d to 3s 5d per lb. This afternoon several purchases were made in Tea, and the market has still an improving appearance, common clean Pouchong is not to be purchased under 7d, and ordinary Congou under Ild per lb cash. FRUIT.-Although there have been some arrivals of Currants, still merchants remain firm, and require 47s for Zante and Cephalonia, and 49s to 50s for Patras. The price of Valentin Raisins is still kept up at 50s, but the trade at present buy with caution. For fine Figs there is a good demand, but for parcels out of condition there are few purchasers.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. there has hien . 500o0rica out in opening levels, driving.cross-cuts,facilitate ure operations in this mine, and as there is said to be a large reserve of ore standing; we hope, after eight years' patienTe - e, the shareholders will soon reap the benefit of it. Stray Park and Camborne Vean, leaving a profit, outlay 43,0001.; two 'months since 'a course of ore, worth 70/. per fathom, was discovered at the 100 fathom level at Camborne Vean, 'the one being in whore ground, from surface downwards.

Sarah Phillips and John Lewis were brought be fore the Lord Mayor, charged with having attempted to rob a gentleman on London-bridge. The woman, it appeared, from a City policeman's statement, left the male prisoner to follow the gen tleman, who evidently wished to be released from her importunities. After having met with a decided re pulse, she returned to the gentleman and tried to get at his pocket, and the policeman went up and 'liked him whether he had lost anything. He replied, upon searching his pocket, that he had . not been robbed, but he said that he might have been robbed of a pocket-book containing 501. The policeman having known the woman to be a thief, and having seen her for three hours about the neighbourhood in inti mate conversation with the male prisoner and another man, took her and the former into custody. Sarah Phillips declared that she had Come to town very lately from Bristol, in the expectation of being engaged by the celebrated Mr. Moses, in the tailoring line, but she was unfortunately disappointed, and she then determined to get into work as well as she could. The LORD MAYOR—How did you happen to look for business in the tailoring line on London bridge ?—Sarah Phillips replied that she had acci dentally met a gentleman, who entered into. conver sation with her, and appointed to meet her on Lon don-bridge, and when she was speaking' to him the policeman interfered and improperly accused her of an intention to commit a rohbery = a thing which never entered into her contemplation. John Lewis said he was passing at the time the policeman took the, woman into custody, and he just stopped to see what was the matter, when he was charged as an accomplice in a robbery. The policeman stated that . Lewis attempted to escape when he perceived that the woman was ap prehended. The LORD MAYOR said he clearly saw how the thing was planned between the two prisoners and their friend, who had escaped, but the evi4ence was not strong enough against John Lewis to justify the committal of that prisoner. His Lordship, however, thought it necessary to mention that he expected to see Lewis again at the bar. As for Sarah Phillips, his Lordship was sure there was quite enough to authorise her committal to Bridewell. Committed accordingly. , A man named Thomas Evans was charged under the following circumstances : A respectable stationer stated that the prisoner, who had been employed by the persons engaged' to print for him, called and gave up a duplicate for the amount of money received for a quantity of paper delivered to the firm in whose service the prisoner was to be printed. The paper had been delivered but a short time before it was sent to the pawn broker's shop and pledged for twelve shillings, and the prisoner had left the ticket for the purpose of giving the owner an opportunity of redeeming it from its discreditable situation. The prisoner stated that the printers by whom he was employed were in the habit of sending him out with paper just received from the stationers to pawn broker's shops for the supply of their immediate necessities. On the present occasion he had re ceived the prosecutor's paper to put in pledge in con sequence of his employers' inability to pay him his wages, and he thought it was most proper for him to deliver the duplicate to the owners of the property. The LORD MAYOR—Have your employers always taken the paper so pledged out of pawn? Prisoner —Always. They furnished me with money to take it out. [ADyEnTistbtEtir.] MEDICAL ,ADVICE. There ciinNt be a grosser delusion than this. It is only because4)oetors, in order to make a trade of medicine, use poisons and anti-medicinal preparations as medicines for the cure of diseases, that "advice," as it is called, becomes necessary; but if you do away with poisons or anti-medicinal preparations, and only take that which is proper and good, and which acts in accordance with the laws of Nature, then all advice becomes unnecessary. This is the reason that all true Hygeists are their own Doctors, and laugh at what Doctors term "advice.' Whenever'they feel pain of any kind they have recourse to the Vegetable Univer sal Medicine, which they can regulate without fear, so as to produce proper evacuations; hence the fact of staunch Hygeists in some cases taking twenty, thirty, and even forty pills at a dose, thereby proving the Universality of the Medicine, as in the case of Lady Sophia Grey, for disease of the spine, Sir Richard Sutton's son, for consumption, living monuments to attest the fact, and thousands of others. But with the poisons of the Doctors, such as prussic acid, opium, arsenic, deadly nightshade, &c., &c., if you take even half a grain too much, death is the consequence ; and therefore, to those persons who are, from a state of ignorance, obliged by Doctors' t•eatment to make use of such poisons, " advice," of course, becomes necessary. It is by giving advice that Doctors make a trade of medicine ; and hence their violent and unjust opposition to Mr. ➢orison's system, because it does away With all mystery, and enables every man to become his own Doctor. This should never be for gotten by the public. Issued by Morison and Moat, of the British Col lege of Health, New-road, London, for and on behalf of the body of Hygeists, who contend, that, since all diseases arise from one cause, namely, an impurity of the blood, they can be cured by the Vegetable Uni versal Medicine, which being composed of innocuous ingredients, may be taken by any person without the aid of a Doctor. • THE ARMY. . (From the Limerick Chronicle, Dec. 28.)" The late Colonel Battersby, who died at his resi dence, Listoke, county Louth, last week, served with the Bth Regiment in the campaign of Egypt, after wards in the • West Indies, till the expulsion of the French from Martinique. On the breaking out of the last American war, he was appointed to the com mand of the Glengarry (Canadian) Fencibles, and distinguished himself in the force under Sir John Prevost ; and on the conclusion of peace he was pre sented by the Legislature and House of Representa tives of Upper Canada with their marked thanks, and with a sword of great value, for his conduct and ser vices during the war.

The LORD MAYOR—Have you frequently done business in this way ? The prisoner—l have been three or four different times a day to the same pawn• broker, Mr. Grant, of London-wall, with paper for m y employers, and I took this paper in yesterday. The assistant to the pawnbroker said that he knew perfectly well the person of the prisoner as an habitual customer, and that on one day the prisoner might have pawned, at three several times, reams of paper at the shop. The complainant—Does not your Lordship con sider that the pawnbroker is very culpable for taking such an article as paper from such a man as the pri soner, who, he must have known, could not be the proprietor ? The LORD MAYOR—Certainly ; I do think him most culpable. His LORDSHIP then directed an officer to desire the presence of one of the firm to whom the prisoner alluded as having employed him. One of the partners in the printing firm attended, and stated, in answer to questions from the Lord Mayor, it was true that upon some occasions they had, to answer an i:nmediate emergency, sent reams of paper which they had received from persons who employed them to the pawnbrokers, but in a few hours they invariably redeemed the property. With respect to the present paper the prisoner had uttered a falsehood, for he had been sent for the paper in the morning, and he had never returned from the com plainant's. The Loan MAYOR—You owe him wages, do you not ? Witness—About five shillings. The prisoner declared that the sum due to him was considerably more. The Loan MAYOR—I shall bind over the prisoner in his own recognisances to appear here if the pro perty be not released ; and I shall expect his employers to appear also. Probably many persons who pawn goods which are not their own do nut know the se rious extent to which they are liable. Now I can tell such persons that, by the Bth section of the 39th and 40th George 111., cap. 99, it is enacted that, if any person pawn any goods or chattels the property of another, without being employed to do so by the owner, it shall be in the power of any justice of the peace to inflict upon the person convicted of so pawn ing a penalty not exceeding 5/. and the full value of the goods, and. in case of the non-payment of such penalty, to commit the offender to hard labour for three calendar months, and if, within three days be fore the expiration of hat period, the forfeiture be not paid, the justice may order the convicted person to be publicly whipped. This piece of information made a sensible impres sion upon several persons in court. His LORDSHIP said, in conclusion, that he boded the Act from which he had quoted would not be for gotten by those who (night, for a temporary accom modation, be tempted to violate it, and therefore be subject to all the consequences..

A special general meeting of the Shareholders was held at the London-bridge station yesterday, for the purpose of considering the expediency of applications being made to Parliament, in the ensuing session, for powers to enable the London and Croydon 'Railway Company to effect the following of jectss—The widening or enlargement of the London and Croydon, thiso London and Greenwich, and the Bricklayers' W.n.s Branch Railways, with a view to an additional lide,,or additional lines, .of railway, upon .the atmo spheric principle of traction.; the formation of a rail way from the Croydon Railway to Chatham, with a branch to Gravesend; an extension of the Chatham line, to join the Canterbury, Margate, and Ramsgate Railway, at or near Chatham, with branches to 'Sheer ness and Faversham Creek; the formation of a railway from the Croydon Railway to Maidstone, 'with II branch to Tunbridge; an extension of the Maidstone line to join the South-Eastern (Dover) Railway at or near Ashford; an extension of the Epsom Railway to Dorking, unless provided for b the direct London and Portsmouth R a il wa y ; a 'b ranc h from the Croydon Railway to Orpington, unless pro vided for by the Chatham line; and also to adopt such measures with reference to ,the said several matters, or either of them, and to the capital necessary to be provided for them, or any of them, as t o suc h meeting shall seem expedient. At one o'clock the chair was token by Mr. Wil kinson, the Chairman of the Company. The notice having been read, The CHAIRMAM, after some preliminary obeerva tions, proceeded to refer to the schemes of the Direc tors, as stated above. Some of those schemes, he said, were merely duplicate schemes, to be carried out as the success or failure of the other plans might render desirable. Contemplating, for instance, the possibility of the Portsmouth 'Company failing to get their Bill, th e en l argement of the Croydon Company was a scheme for which it was neccessary to provide, and a similar remark would apply to one or two other projects. But with -re-- spect to the main plans of the Directors, after giv!aig their best consideration to the subject, and taking the Lest advice that could be obtained, the Directors were of opinion, and after calling together and obtaining the concurrence of a meeting of gentlemen holding 100 shares the Directors felt the greatest confidence, in asking the sup' ort of the Proprietors in carrying out their views. The main purpose for which they had convened the meeting, was to proposs the maid of a line from Sydenham to Ashford, Maidstone, :ma Tunbridge.—(Hear, hear.) The necessity f , J r thi s project had arisen from the declaration of tha views of the South-Eastern Company, made at their general meeting by Mr. M`Gregor in December last, inti mating most clearly that it was the intention of that Co mpany to make a direct line to Tunbridge which should avoid the Croydon line. Believing, as they did, that there was no necessity for a measure which should include: the avoidance of the Croydon line, the Direct o rs thought themselves entitled to propose that this COrn panv should carry out the scheme instead •of the Soulh-Eastern Company.—(Hear, hear.) The latter Company had proclaimed to all the world, for the last nine months, that it was about to supply all Kent with railways. At present, however, it did nothing whatever towards fulfilling its promise. It now proposed to accommodate the public by avoiding the Croydon Railway. Were that the sole object, their only course would be to acquiesce, fop unques tionably the p u bli c b ene fi t was the grand thing-to be considered. But the question was, whether the public benefit could not be equally well provided for without the avoidance of the Croydon Railway? The Directors of the Croydon Company believed that it could, and as they formed part of the public, they bad a right to expect that their interests shouk% not be forgotten. The Dover Company pro posed to make a line from the Greenwich Railway. He then proceeded to explain, by the aid of a chart, the course of the lines proposed by the two Com panies, and dwelt on the superior advantages which would be aflbrded to the public by the direct line to Maidstone. They proposed to continue the line as far as Ashford ; and not only so, but, by making an at • • mospheric line, they would be enabled to convey the public cheaper and quicker than the South-Eastern Company. He saw nothing inconsistent or im proper in so small a Company embarking in this un dertaking, provided only the public convenience was consulted. On that point everything must de pend, whatever might be the length of railway which it was proposed to construct. He had heard it' said that the great interests of the Dover Company should not be hampered by those of so insignificant a Company as the Croydon. Granted; but the question was, which was the Dover Company ? He was prepared to centendl that,for all public purposes, that was the Dover Cora -1 pang, because it had the power, which the other had not, of making the line which should be most conve nient for the public.—(Hear, hear.) The Dover Company had for the last nine months placarded the country with ann ouncements o f its intentions with respect to the county of Kent; but these announce ments had all ended in nothing, and theirs was, at that time, the only body which was in a condition to afford that accommodation to the public which the DoVer Company had confessed to be necessary for the public interest.—(Hear, hear.) The Dover Company was a day or two too late in putting in its plans ; and though this difficulty might possibly be surmounted, he thought they (the Croydon Company) should take care that their own interests were protected. Tim Dover Company proposed to amend their line by a plea not so convenient as theirs; and, under all the circumstances, both morally a n d p o liti ca lly, the pro prietors of the Croydon Company would be j us t i fi e d in the course which they were asked to pursue. He did not mean to promise them entire success, whether in carrying out their own plans, or in opposing those of others ; but considering the itnpartiality and 'intel ligence of the Legislature, their chance of success was certainly such as would justify them in proceed ing. Sir Robert Peel had laid down the principle s that a railway should not be allowed to be made by the side of an existing one, solely for the purpose of absorbing the profit—that money should not be taken out of the pocket of A solely to be put into that of " but," said he, "if the advancement of science, or the improvement of machinery, enables one company to accommodate the public much better than another, then the public advantage must be considered first.* Applying that principle, he thought they had a good chance of success in the projects which they were called upon to undertake ; and he felt the greatest confidence, therefore, in proposing them f o r accept ance. A great deal was said at the present time about amalgamation..• -He, was not prepared to say that such a result would not be attended with miss tual advantages. They had, however, made a pfo position to the Brighton Company. They had put to them this question—" Will you guarantee either that the whole of the traffic shall come by - one rail way, or that such traffic as may come shall pay us, the present amount, viz., 20,0001.?" and, in case of compliance, they offered to remit half the toll at present levied. That proposition was declined, and it would be too much to expect that it should be peed ln tha c t as t e h s e of par amalgama tion asleegakminag repeated after their opponents had been defeated i n hear l it would give up some advantages. Thou g h th ey t P io a i r l li i a t to w e a n s t. g — vp ( e H ra e l a l r y , were willing to amalgamate, they would not consent to sacrifice their interests to those of their rivals. He then went into a calculation, for the purpose of proving that it was impossible that the Dover Com pany could obtain a sufficient profit to make their scheme successful, taking into account all the ex penses and obligations which would be incurred, and setting against them the probable returns. Since the opening of the Dover Railway the average receipts had been about 4,500/. ; and, with all the expected increase of continental traffic, he could not think that the increase would be sufficient. After some further • observations, he concluded by proposing a series of resolutions founded on the several schemes stated in the notice. The resolution was seconded, and, after a short conversation, was carried unanimously. In reply to a question from a Proprietor, The CHAIRMAN stated that the agreement ; made with the Chatham Committee was this :—The Croy don Company undertook to pay the expenses•of the application to Parliament ; and, in case of failure,- the Chatham Company would either receive back their money with five per cent. upon it, or have the option of taking Croydon shares bearing five per cent. A vote of thanks was given to the Chairman and Directors, and the meeting then separated. .
