That is what has now taken place. Allow me to re-rstahlish the truth. What, in fact, has taken place? A circular was addressed to two or three electoral correspondents in each department; it bears the signature of a man who, since 1845, has been charged with this correspondence, and who has no other functions; than those of secretary of this electoral com mittee; it points out the names of five persons who, from different claims and under different regimes, have for many years past been honoured with a confidence which they have always considered compatible with their duties as citizens. The object of this circular is the condemnation of a doctrine erroneous in a monar chical point of view. One of the copies fell, either by chance or otherwise, into strange banes, and acquired a publicity for which the documeet was never inttntled. It has bern laid hold of to disguise intenticni ; to carry up to a high qul.rter a responsibility which my honour forbids me to decline, convinced, a; I am. that it is only the exercise of a legitimate to write to correspondents- who share in your opinions, and cer tain that it would be gain to attempt to find in my acts or in my private life absolutist doctrines opposed to the present period. Ipr )test against this abuse. Only one question of dextrine is treated of in the circular— that of au appeal to the people; and it is condemded as incompatible with the principle of hereditary monarchy. The direction of general policy is there also spoken of; but who is there that can understand from that any thine more than the direction of the ideas of a party which will not sepal ate • its principle from the national liberties, so loudly proclaimed even by the representa tive of that principle? And how can it be supposed that the men whose directions and correspondences have for so long a time only had for object the exercise of the rights which existing institutions have conferred on them, would suddenly change their convictions and their language, when the matured wisdom of that Prince, in spite of the absolutist impulses of a part of Europe, has traced these noble words, the dictates of his heart, 6 May the spectacle of so many calamities, and the fear of evils which threaten the future, not lead away minds far from these great principles of justice and of public liberties, which at this time more than ever the friends of the people and of kings should defeud and maintain.' I must confine myself, sir, to this simple statement, in avoiding all that might be irritating; bat I think I have in my turn the right to demand that a meaning shall not be sought for in this letter which is not put there. Thirty years since, in 1821, the illustrious Royer-Collard said that words were tortured to make them say other than the truth; it appears that the secret has not been forgotten." RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. SOUTH DEVON. EXETER, WEDNESDAY SEPT. 25.—A special ge neral meeting of the shareholders of this company was held yesterday afternoon at the New London Inn, in this city, Mr. Woolcombe in the chair • in pursuance of a requisition, signed by 22 sharehold ers, represent ing between 1,600 and 1,700 shares, and Mr. C. Ste vens, whose name appeared at the head if the list, had signified his intention of moving a resolution re quiring the appointment of a committee to inquire into the affairs of the company. Mr. STEVENS then proposed the following resolu tion :—" That a committee, to consist of three per soas, proprietors in the South Devon Railway Com pany, be appointed for the purpose of considering whether any and what measures ought, to be adopted, with a view to the reduction of the working expenses of the undertaking, improving the traffic and revenue thereof, establishing and maintaining the credit of the company, and otherwise improvingthe conduct and ma nagement of its affairs. Also, whether it be expedient that the provisions in the company's Act of incorpora tion, in reference to the appointment, the number, and order of rotation of directors, the right of voting the audit of accounts, the powers of sale and leasing, and other provisions should be altered or enlarged, and also to report their opinion on the expediency of an application to Parliament for these purposes, the com mittee to have full powers to call for, and require the production of, and to examine, inspect, and take copies of all books, accounts, and papers of the com pany, and to employ accountants and other assistants and with all other necessary and proper power. The committee to report also on the state and condition of the company and its affairs ; and that it be a direc tion to such committee to state the names of the per sons who have been deprived of any pecuniary advan tage by reason of all or any of their calls having been from time to time unpaid, and the sums of money which they have lost thereby, with a view to the re turning them the same. His object, he said, was simply an inquiry into certain facts which had ap peared to the requisionists to require investigation. He represented in that meeting 111 persons, pro prietor:, of more than 1,600 shares, and the claim which he made on their part for an inquiry ought not to be denied by the directors. He would refer to one subject touched upon in the requisition, viz., the hire of locomotive trains. W . as it not fitting that the contract for a matter of such importance should be submitted to the shareholders for their ap proval ? He would also refer to the present state of the credit of the company. That it was bad, was not to be disputed ; but what was the reason of its being so, with a revenue larger than their debenture debts ? He had no hesitation in ascribing it to the mismanage ment of the directors. Mr. Stevens then proceeded to vindicate his own conduct in reference to the pre ference shares, the validity of which he had disputed, and to answer a circular issued by the directors, ex planatory of their own conduct in the transaction. Ihe reasons he had given would show the necessity of placing more power in the hands of the shareholders, and in order to do so he entreated their support to the resolution he had proposed. Captain EDWARD JENNINGS, R N., seconded the resolution. Mr. .MILNER moved as an amendment—" That a committee of shareholders be appointed to confer with the directors." A committee of investigation was frequently a committee of hostility, and the appoint ment of a committee of the shareholders to confer with the directors, would meet the view of the larger body of those interested. Mr. G-. HARPER seconded the amendment. Mr. GELL, of Plymouth, said he believed that the board could give good reasons for its conduct, and trusted that they would come forward and give those reasons. He trusted that several items of expense would be wanting in the next year's accounts. He `was an advocate for the reduction of fares, and he believed that the experiment was worth trying. The expense of the permanent way was also much too large in his opinion. He did not wish to see Mr. Stevens's motion adopted, nor yet thrown aside alto gether. But it was quite true that some effort was made to retrieve the present condition of the company, by increasing its traffic, and reducing the cost of ma nagement. The CHAIRMAN said that the committee to inquire, and the committee to confer, were, in fact, identical, and he should treat them as such in his observa tions. He had not sought the position he then occu pied, and he would not only be willing but glad to surrender its arduous duties at the call of the share holders. During the period in which he and his col leagues had held office, the working expenses de creased steadily every half-year, with a corresponding increase in the receipts of the line. The permanent way contract would effect a considerable saving on the present rates—the difference between the rate per mile they paid to the contractor, and the rate per mile of the Great Western, as to the increased charge for the maintenance of the permanent way. This charge was always greater in new lines than in old ones, and he was afraid that they would for a short time increase, although that would soon be followed by a permanent diminution. He believed that rail way companies would make the largest amount of profit at the lowest rate of fares. lie thought that the change should not, however, be sudden. If they had confidence in the directors let them that day avow it; and if they had not, let them not have a committee of investigation, but have a new set of directors alto gether. - Mr. Fox then moved a vote of confidence in the directors. It was objected that this resolution could not be put until the others were disposed of. After some discussion Mr. Almmarr withdrew his amendment, and Mr. Nonxis seconded Mr. Fox's resolution, observing that he should. afterwards pro pose that it be referred to the directors to ascertai❑ some means of adjusting the varying interests of the holders of original and preference shares, and to admit both to immediate participation in the profits of the company. _ _ _ BAILEY, a shareholder, then rose amidst cries of ‘_.‘ Question." Upon his announcemeut that he would be heard, and had a long speech to make, the patience of the meeting, which had farted already five hours, gave way, and although it was announced that a special train would run to Plymouth after the London mail had passed, the room was half emptizd. Mr. Bailey, with a resolution which would have done honour to a better cause, maintained his ground, and had his speech all to himself. The shareholders re monstrated loudly against Mr. Bailey's pertinacity, finding that, in spite of all interruption, he still con • tinned. About fifty gentlemen declared that they would return in three- quarters of an hour, and vote when he had done. Air. Balky, after more than an hour's perseverance, gave up his point, but in conse quence of many shareholders having actually left to dine, it was deemed necessary to keep the poll open until nine o'clock. The result was that Mr. Stevens's motion was lost ; that of Mr. Fox, for a vote of confidence in the direc tors, being carried. The meeting then thanked the Chairman for his impartial conduct, and separated. A ROMANCE OF REAIL LIFE. In the evening, towards the end of the year 1846, when the typhus f ev e r was making its ravages amongst the poor in th e p o p u l ous di str i cts of Glas gow, a female was oft e n h ear d s i ng i ng at the edge o the pavement before the W es t ern Cl u b House. iler dress consisted of littl e more th an a petticoat and a shawl. With ti. e l at t er s h e covered her face, head, breast, and should e r s . Th e passer -b y could not dis tinguish whether s h e was we ll-f orme d or crooked, good-looking or marked by the small-pox, young or old, but the musical connoisseur could judge, from the melancholy strains that forced their way from within the all -protecting shawl, that the sound came from the voice of a girl of about seventeen years of age. She never solicited alma, but took whatever was given her with a cur t sey, and now and then with a blessing, murmured in a low voice. One night, when " the winds were whistling cold," and the rain N g v: n s ti r tn u e r n ing we d r o e w n in torrents, two young German all in her power, passingi.nitt wind e girl, who was striving her features concealedG and weather, to keep her a trifle and hurried on, accompanied by ton r e o ns m ,o - fa t l h w e ay u s • nr ld. They gave and said ber voice. Suddenly the heart-touching you hear that one cf them stopped i e , v r" o i D i e g e i p f, f o r e o s m n ° de n s t e r u t r c 3 - ' l a % n it d h such a Let us voice ? What beauty from se lileaven to save the possessor of sue lj li " a They returneel: what we tion ? Shall a girl die from hunger, or worse?" can do," answered the other. the watchman of the district, and sought information from from him. The watchman could say very little about her. He did not know where she lived, nor what her name wa3, nor had he ever seen her face, but he g ave her an excellent character, as far as he could judge. He was told to ask for her name and address ; and one morning, after having got this, the two young philanthropists went to the assigned place, but were very much disappointed by finding that no such place existed. After having again spoken to the watchman, they got en answer through him that the girl pur posely gave a wrong address, in order to get rid of the young men, and that she also decidedly refused to give her right name and address, or to go to see any person, adding that "no one knew who she was, and no one ever should know." After about a month's diplomatic negotiations by means of the watchman, the girl agreed at last to visit a German lady, univer sally esteemed in Glasgow for her kindness aLd bene volence. Arrived there, and putting the jealous shawl aside, a pale interesting face was discovered. The girl gave satisfactory references as to her termer life. It appeared that she was a native of Edinburgh ; that having become destitute from the death of her father, the illness cf other members of her family (they were bed rid w ith fever), and many other' circumstances, and not being able to gat work sufficient to provide for a sick mother and young brother, and being possessed of a good voice—her only family inheritance—she resolved to try to make a precarious living by singing on the streets during the twilight and evening. Being asked to sing she readily complied. Mr. Seliginann, the well-known professor of music, who was present, and one of the young men who had first taken an in terest in the voice, said—" The voice of that young girl is not the one we admired so much." lie re marked as something peculiar, and which he had ob served on previous occasions, that the voice sounded on some evenings most beautifully, while at otheir times it was very indifferent. The girl insisted that she was the person in question, and by repeating her conversation with the watchman, by naming over the list of songs she was in the custom of singing, estab lished beyond doubt that she was the individual in whom they seemed to take an interest. The matter remained unexplained at the time, and the visit ended by the lady and Mr. Saligmann promising to call on her sick mother, after having had inquiries made into the character of the family. Having found this to be in all respects satisfactory, the promised call was given, and then it was found out that the girl had a sister, who was then with a distant relation in Pais ley, and who, when she happened to be in Glasgow, sometimes relieved her from the task of singing in the streets. The two girls were taken by the gentlemen and the watchman for only one, and as the two sisters communicated their adventures to each other,' the mistake was thus easily explained. The second girl, who was the elder of the two, was sent fur, and her voice soon proved her identity. Most satisfactory information as to her character having also been received, another benevolent German lady instructed her in reading, writing, and other elemen tary branches of education, and Mr. Saligmann gave her singing and piano lessons. When her kind in structress left Glasgow the girl was put at board to different respectable families in succession, and her education soon took a higher bent. Her conduct and diligence gave great pleasure to her patrons, who, by private subscription, raised a sum of money for her support. After more than two years' instruction in Glasgow, it was considered expedient to send her to Germany to pursue a higher branch of musical study than this country affords. From thence, where she has been labouring successfully about 18 months, we receive the most flittering accounts of her voice, the compass of which is from G below the lines to E fist in alt, nearly three octaves. We hear, moreover, that she makes great progress in every female accomplish ment, and that she is received into the best society. As she is to appear soon in concerts in her native country, we consider it our duty to direct the atten tion of our readers to her history, and to interest them in her behalf. The name of the handsome young lady, in whose elegant manners, lady-like deportment, and great musical abilities no one would find out any truce of the street-singer, is Christina Dawson. We have watched the progress of Miss Dawson's education since she was taken in charge by her phi lanthropic protectors, and have much pleasure in bearing testimony to the rapid and steady progress she made under her different tutors before her remo val to Germany. We may also add that we have been long acquainted with the facts contained in the above simple narrative, and would have given them publicity, but we delayed the recital until their publication might be of service to her on the occasion of her first public appearance as a professional vocalist. IVe may here add that the father of Miss Dawson was through life an industrious mechanic, originally, eve believe, from Rothsay. Christina, the heroine of the above little story, is his eldest child. The widowed Mrs. Dawson, with her second daughter and son, are now in Edinburgh, where they have been by the kind aid of Miss Dawson's patrons, put into a small and respectable way of gaining their livelihood, so that they are now placed beyond the necessity of depending upon eleemcsynary aid. Miss Dawson's professional career, it is to be hoperl, will further remove them from want, and may, as she has always shown great filial and sisterly affection towards her relatives, place them in a more comfortable position in society than their late gloomy prospects would have led them to hope for.— Glasgow Herald. GERMAN Y. A telegraphic dispatch from Frankfort of the 24th inst., in the Kolner Zeitung, states that the Council of German Governments, sitting in that city under the auspices of A us t r i a , has declared that the refusal of the Hessian Diet to grant the supplies is illegal and opposed to the interests of the Confederation ; that . the Hessian Government shall endeavour to restore a state of legality and order, and that corresponding measures will be taken by the Council. . From Munich we learn of the 20th inst. that the Bavarian army, now concentrated on the banks of the Maine and on the frontiers of Hessen, is being rein forced to a considerable extent. We ought also to mention a rumour of a small Hanoverian army which .. is said to be approaching the frontiers of Hessen. The , Prussian Government, too, are preparing to concen trate a corps of observation in Westphalia, near Paderborn. The Common Council of Hanau have addressed the following petition and remonstrance to the Elector :-- " May it please your Royal Highness!—Your Royal Highness's decree of the 17th inst., which transfers the seat of your Government to Wilhelinsbad, accuses the Courts of Justice and the functionaries of our country of an undutiful conduct, while it expresses a hope that your subjects will support you in your endeavours to restore. the Constitution of the country. Royal Highness! the undersigned members of the Common Council. of Henan, siren they consider the facts and events of iheFe litter days, cannot but presume that you are falsely informed as to the general sentiments of the country; awl we therefore think it our duty to give evi rL use of the state of public opinion respecting the late measures of your Government. Royal Highness! public opirden declares your Ministers to be your worst enc. hey aro considered as men who endeavour to subvoit not only the Hessian comtitution, but also your own high Electoral House, and who are so many serpents in your bosom. C on d emned by public opinion, and al most crushed by public contempt, these men are aware that they ere indeed fugitives and vagabonds on the face of the earth. Bet still they persist ; still they continue in their desperate career, and close their ears to the voice of justice and common sense. Such a con dition of affairs is unheard of in the annals of German history. The people of Hessen is not;on your Royal iiighnees'a side. Your Government stands un supported fled Isola el. Your courts and functionaries are not undutiful—they know their duty. The legal and dignified st.ttiturie of the people will intimate to you who • the men are who have trampled on law and justice, and who hive violated the constitution of the country. " Royal Hip,hnesb! we pray you to make your peace wi:h the country, and to put a term to a etatc of things which must necessarily end unfavourably to you. Con sidt r that a Constitutional Government is imposeible for Ministers of that class, and that with your Ministers you have no choice but to overthrow the conatitwion, and to introduce a despode Government. Listen to cur most humble prayer ! remove the seat of your Govern ment back to the capital of the country, discharge your traitorous Ministers, and fulfil your promise of the 11th of March, 1848, by selecting. men ,e ho have the coeti. &Tee of 3 our subjects." `thew, Sept. 21." ITAL Y. The Paris Everzement publishes a letter from- its Neapolitan correspondent, which announces the out break cf a formidable insurrection in the two Cala brial. The writer states that be takes advantage of the departure of a friend to Marseilles to send the letter, for that the Neapolitan police open and exa mine all letters sent by post, even those contained in the ambassador's beg, and destroy every letter con- Lining political intelligence. The writer, whose letter is dated Sept. 5, then proceeds to state that a formidable insurrection has broken out in the two Calabrias, which seems likely to embrace the en- ' tirety of both provinces. The Neapolitan Govern ment is greatly alarmed, and has ordered a frigate to proceed to Corona, a port of Ultra-Calabria, and to bombard the city. The three provinces of Calabria appear to be actieg in concert rn this insurrection. Armed bands are organizing under the command of p:pular leaders on variaus points of the Calabrian territory ; among the legclers are Ferdinand Bianchi and Dominique Fulco de Rossano, who, in the pro%ince of Cose-rza direct the operations of two con ioiterable bodies of Guerillas, and who appear to be acting in concert. - Franchco S.occhi, who in June, 1848, 5 headed the insurgents of Ultra- Calabria having ten nrreste:d by thu gendarmerie, was rescued by Stooebi, who, having delivered his friend, generously permitted these same genedarmes, who inflict the in.stinado and the tor tut e on women and children in order to force their hus bands to surrender to retire. At Nuast ro , the iosurgc nts had a slirmiali with the garrison of the town, in which the latter were defeated, and 23 gent &rme-, and 4 municipal guards, the judge, and some. other Government map/oyes, wee shot.- In this city clone the military authorites had issued orders for the seizure of upwards of 000 persons, dead or alive. According to. the latest accounts the insurrec tion was spreading. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 26, 1850. MYSTERIOUS DEATH. Yesterday Mr. H. Wakley held an inquest at the Robinson Crusoe, Earl-street, Lisson-grove, on view of the body of Eleanor Drane, aged 57, a married woman, who was found dead. Mary White, the wife of a stonemason, living at 48, Devonshire-street, stated that deceased, whose husband was a carpenter and undertaker, separated from her, and allowed her a certain sum per week, occupied the front kitchen, and lived alone. About half-past seven o'clock on Monday morning witness had occasion to go down the kitchen stairs, when she , aw deceased's room door open, and deceased lying on her back on the floor, her bonnet and shawl on, her hands by her side, and her clothes above her knees. Thinking her asleep she shook her, but touch ing her face, and finding it to be quite cold, she raised an alarm, when a surgeon was sent for, who pro nounced her to have been dead some time. Any one might have access to the house at all hours, there being no fastening to the street door, which was con sequently always open. Mrs. Mary .Neale, a Dodger in the parlour, de posed to deceased leaving her to retire to bed at ten o'clock on Sunday night, when she was in good health and spirits. On seeing her after being dis covered as stated by the last witness, in the morning, she saw that she had a cut over the left eye. Ann Butler, another lodger, stated that between ten and eleven o'clock on Sunday night she heard the footsteps of a man descend the kitchen-stairs, and then a scuffle, and having heard the footsteps after wards twice up and down the same stairs, all was quiet. Mr. Gardner, surgeon, Church-street, Portman market, said that on being called to attend deceased be found her to have been dead seven or eight hours. She was lying as a person would be laid out after death. There was an abrasion over the left eye, which might have been inflicted by a blow or fall. Oa opening the body there was great congestion of the brain, and extravasation of blood immediately above the injury to the eye. The husband of the deceased, who was present, said he thought his wife had met her death by foul means. The jury observed that it was a doubtful and mys- terious case, and returned an open verdict, " That deceased died of congestion of the brain, but how such congestion was caused there was no evidence to show."

Most of the clerks, lie says, would re main in office that petite', by which the company would net only gain by it, but would have double security for fidelity. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. William Watt was brought before Mr. Hardwick on the following charges. Joseph Kendall, cab proprietor, stated that he had known the prisoner for same time. Last July twelve month the prisoner called upon him, and said he had just obtained the situation of steward to the Earl of Stamford, No. 33, Hill-street. He also stated that he had great influence with railway companies, and would obtain for complainant the privilege of putting his cabs on at the railway stations. He then said that he was short of cash and would be glad of a small loan. Complainant, believing the prisoner to be a respectable mar•, and that his statement was true re spatting his appointment as steward to Lord Stamford, a , ivanced him some money then, and gave him more at various times, until the whole amounted to 131. The prisoner never had been in Lord Stamford's service. The case was remands d to Westminster Court, as the offence had occurred in that district. The prisoner was further charged with having con spired, with a woman named Mary Ann Tolfrey, to defraud William Henry Richardson of 501. The woman Mary Ann Tolfrey has recently been convicted for obtaining money fraudulently from various persons under pretence of procuring for them Government situations through the influence of Lord Alfred Paget. The complainant said he had had 501. at command, and he consulted with the prisoner to know whether he could put confidence in Mary Ann Tolfrey, and pay her the 501. on her promise to get bim a Govern ment prisoner gave M rs .

Complainant was ultimately induced to part with his farthing of which he had l os t. 501, every Mr. HARDWICK did not think the confederacy be tween the prisoner and Mary Ann Tolfrey sufficiently established, and dismissed the charge. MARYLEBONE. In our paper of yesterday appeared the particulars of a charge against Mr. Shivers, jun., of Cheltenham, for having thrown a glass bottle from a carriage ,belonging to am excursion train, by which he was a passenger, and thereby wounded Janses Wise, a guard in the employ of the Great Western Railway Com pany, while be was standing close to the platform of the Farringdon station, on Tuesday last. Mr. Collard, Superintendent of the company's po lice, and other witnesses, were examined, and as no evidence could be given as to whether the guard was in danger, the defendant, who admitted having thrown the bottle out of window, but without the slightest intention or idea of hurting any one, was held to bail in the sum of 160/. (two sureties in 801. each) for his re-appearance at the court, Mr. Collard having, at the suggestion and under the direction of the ma gistrate, undertaken to go down immediately to the station at which the lamentable occurrence took place, in order to ascertain the precise condition of the man Wi?e, and in respect thereto to obtain a surgeon's certificate. To-day the defendant attended, pursuant to the recognizance& entered into for his being forthcoming. Mr. Charles, Tagart, solicitor, 47, Lincoln's Inn fields, was present on his behalf. In reply to the magistrate, Mr. Collard said that he had obtained a medical certificate from a surgeon named Meddle, residing at Bristol, as to the present condition of Wise. It was handed to the magistrate, and it set forth that Alfred Wise was suffering from a severe contused wound on the forehead, and that some weeks would certainly elapse ere a cure would be effected. Wise (the wounded mat)), who had been brought up by the train under the care of Mr. Collard, was put into the witness-box. He seemed very weak, and his left temple was strapp.d up with adhesive plaster. fie made a brief statement, to the effect that he was struck by a bottle and knocked down, and that when he came to a state of consciousness he found himself in one of the rooms at the station ; he was subse quently carried to the house of a surgeon in Wan tage-road, by whom the wounds which bad been in flicted upon him were dressed. Mr. Collard produced sundry pieces of glass which had been picked up at the spot, and his opinion was, judging from the pieces in question, that it was a pint porter bottle which was thrown from the window. The solicitor addressed the magistrate on the part of the defendant, and said that as the unfortunate oc currence was purely accidental, and that there was no danger whatever to be apprehended, he trusted that his Worship would permit the defendant (his client) to make compensation to the guard for any injury which be might have sustained. Mr. BROUGUTON.said he could not consent to any thing like a compromise as suggested by the solicitor, inasmuch as the offence was one of a nature in which the public generally were materially interested. He had given due and attentive consideration to the case in all its bearings, and was of opinion that what had arisen could hot be looked upon as an accident, al though he believed at the same time that there was no intention of doing injury to any particular person. He had, however, the power to commit the defendant for trial. The magistrate, after some further remarks, en larged the recognizences until Wednesday next; and it was understood that in the event of the magistrates in the part of the country where the offence was committed holding ad interim their sittings, Mr. Col lard should give notice to the bail, in order to ensure the attendance of the accused. The defendant and his friends then left the court. SOUTHWARK. Cornelius Burrell, a young fellow, was charged with being_ a suspected pers on , an d w i t h l o i ter i ng about the South-Eastern terminus, for the purpose of committing felony. A policeman stated that the prisoner with several others were in the habit of lurking about the incline of the railway, and were a source of great annoyance to the public, particularly oa the arrival of trains, and that many robberies of females bad occurred, who entrusted their property to those fellows, and in many instances never saw it again. On the previous night the prisoner was hanging about the place, and he (the policeman) took him into custody, and locked him up. Mr. Covina—For what ? Policeman—For lurk ing about there. Mr. COMBS—DiI you see him commit any offence ? Policeman—l did not see him, certainly, commit any offence, but I knew him to be a suspected character, and he is liable is punishment for intruding on the company's ground. thes ? open sp ace l ea di ng f rom th e ?--The police man re pli e d i n t b b r e i .A d i a g r ffi e r e m t ° o 3 e a t t l :l v i s e eite i r s m i l t nu Mr. Comne said that he very much doubted whether the policeman was at all justified in taking the pri soner into custody. It was true that a man had no but then the owner of i right etloa walk not be b i e n j a u n s o t t i h fi e e d es i e field, taking the intruder before a magistrate. He might proceed against him for a trespass, and all the prisoner was proved to have done was to walk about the place leading to the railway, which was open to evert body. If (added the Magis trate) you had proved to me that the prisoner had committed any effence while in the place you men tion, I should then have no hesiiation about the law, but I do not feel that I should be doing my duty if I punished him in this instance. If the public, as I be lieve they are, are liable to robberies by persons of the prisoner's description, why do not the police keep a look ou', and catch some of them, and then we should know what to do; but to take this man and lock him up forimerely loitering about in the place mentioned, I thin'wits rather an overstretch of au thority, and I shall not detain him. The prisoner was then discharged. WANDS W ORTH. William Goddard, a carter in the omploy of Mr. Bug bee, contractor, was charged with stealing a cart load of bricks from the wharf of Messrs. Locke and Neshatn, the said b r i c k s b e i ng cons i gne d to t h at fi rm ; and 11I+'. Willia m Robert Comber, of 2, B fitter sea bridge-road, builder, was charged with receiving .a quantity of bricks, well k n owing them to be stolen. Police-constable Walker, 98 V, was the first wit ness sworn, and he stated that, in consequence of in formation he received, he was in Bittersea- square at about half past six o'clock on Tuesday morning, and at this time he perceived one of Mr. Bogbee's carts laden with bricks going towards Battersea-bridge; he watched it to the beck of Church-street into a piece of vacant ground, in the rear of the garden of the Europa pubdc-house. Goddard was driving the cart, and he then shot out his load. Ile followed the empty cart back to Messrs. Locke and Nesham's wharf at the water-side, and on inquiry of Mr. Randall - Weed he found he bad no contract at Bat tersea, and what •bricks went from there were sup posed to go to the New Prison. Witness then went to the station and gave information of what he had seen, and substqaently, in company with Sergeant Daley, went to the spot where the b:icks were shot. He there saw a bricklayer named Leggett and his labourer, who was hei g ht en i ag a wall enclosing the garden f the Europa Tavern, and' wing the bricks. The latter was cutting them up as bats. Leggett said he had been employed by the prisoner Coomber. Witness told Leggett he must not touch any more of the bricks, as they were the property of Messrs. Locke and Nesham. He then remained watching the bricks until Goddard was brought there in cus tody of Sergeant alley. The witness afterwards went in search of the prisoner Coomber, who was not at home, and he watched for him till half-past ten o'clock at nigh, wh en h e returne d h ome . Wit ness ad dressed him, sayine, " Do you know anything of the bricks whi c h are at the back of Europa-place ?" and he said, " Yes, I h ave purchased a thousan d , and was to pay 265. for them. I have purchased a great many - thou/and s of hi m , and have paid 2/. and 51. at a time. 1 1 1 , 2 -tness asked him who he was, and Coomber said he was agent at Bugbee's wharf, Wands worth. Witness said that party had no right to sell sny bricks, as they were the property of Locke and Nesham, the contractors. Coomber then said, " I shall be able to show you that some other parties have purchased of the same men." Witness now told him he should charge him with receiving the bricks, well knowing them to have been stolen, and took him into custody. Sergeant DAley, 33 V, corroborated the evidence of the previous witness. Several other witnesses were examined in support of the charge ; the prisoners were ordered to be re manded for a week, and it is expected that by (to morrow (this day) several other parties will be in custody upon the same charge. LORD BROUGHAM'S LATE PISCATORIAL QUARREL. Tuesday being the day appointed for the investi gation of Lord Brougham's illegal netting dispute, together with the counter assault cases, at Penrith, a great gathering of people was the consequence. The inquiry took place at ,the Assembly-rooms, George and Dragon Hotel, and lasted upwards of eight hours, during the whole of which time the spa cious apartment was crowded almost to suffocation. As was fully expected, there was a numerous attend ance of magistrates, besides a large number of country gentlemen. Mr. E. W. Haswell, Chairman of the Bench, presided. Messrs. W. and D. Blavmore appeared fur the Angling Association cf Penrith, and Sir George Musgrave, Bart., and Mr. Jameson for Lord Brougham's party. There were no fewer than eight fishing and ten assault cases arising out of the same transaction. The first case proceeded with was that of John Robson, blacksmith, who appeared to answer the in formation of Thomas Hall, one of Sir George Mus grave's gamekeepers, under 7 and 8 George IV., c. 29, charging him with illegally using a net device, whereof the mesh was of a less size than one inch, at least, from knot to knot, or five inches round, and also did use a net which was double-armoured, in the river Eamont, in the parish of Edenhall and Brougham, in the counties of Cumberland and West moreland, on Monday, the 16th instant. Thomas Hall stated, that in accordance with in structions received from Sir George Musgrave, be, along with several other men from Penrith, went to the river Eamont on Monday, the IGth inst., in crder to prevent all netting upon the side of the river be. longing to Sir George. They had information that an attempt of this kind was to be made by Lord Brougham. When he and the others were watching, four or five men, of whom Robson was one, appeared at the side of the river. Shortly afterwards two car riages came up full of ladies and gentlemen. John Robson and Thomas Armstrong brought the net to the river side. Robson then cbang©d part of his clothing and came over from the Westmoreland side with a rope in his hand, by which he drew the net after him. Witness walked up to him and told him he had no business on that (the Cumberland) side. Robson said he had nothing to do with it; witness might speak to Lord Brougham. Witness again told him to be off, but he took no notice. Two or three Penrith men came up then and got hold of the rope. During the whole of the time he saw no one strike at Robson, nor be at any one. He was sure that Rob son was walking down the river nearer to the Cum berland than the Westmoreland side. It was pos sible that fish could have been caught. This was the case for the plaintiff. Mr. W. Brougham, who was called for the defen dant, stated that on the 16th instant his brother and a party of friends went down to the river Eamont with the express purpose of trying the construction hereto fore put on the Act entitled the &Away Act. Their object was to go down and draw the river with a net of a peculiar description—of a smaller mesh than usual, called a double-armoured net—to try whether the act of dragging the liver with such a net was il legal or not. Their notion was that they had an un doubted right to go down the Cumberland side in order to fish the Westmoreland side. He could hardly believe it possible there could have been any objection to that, because, if persisted in, the river would be perfectly useless to both parties, as it was impossible to fish with a net in one part of the river without going over to the other; a draught could not be made by taking half a river only. He added, that if the attacking party had waited five minutes the fishing would have been completed. As it was, however, he had no hesitation in swearing most solemnly that the net was never in a position to catch anything. The CHAIRMAN said that the Bench were unani mously of opinion that the charge had been fully made out, and they adjudged that Robson, the defen dant, should pay a penalty of 51, including costs, otherwise to suffer six weeks' imprisonment in Car lisle gaol.—The fine was paid. The case was decided under the general Act. Thomas Armstrong, of Penrith, labourer, then ap peared to answer an information pressed by William Watson, a member of the Eamont and Eden Angling Association, under the Solway Act. On the part of the defendant it was contended that the Solway Act applied only to fish of the salmon tribe, while the pursuer maintained that it applied to all kinds of fish. The Bench took time to adjudicate. John Jackson, a member of the Penrith Angling Association, then appeared to answer a charge of as sault with which he was charged by John Robson, of Eamont- bridge, blacksmith, one of Lord Brougham's netters. After the examination of the Marquis of Douro, Mr. W. Brougham, -and other witnesses, the Bench gave it as their opinion that a good deal of violence had been used; but as there were some cross charges for assaults, all of which arose out of the fishing, they would recommend those charges on both sides should be withdrawn, and they should then refrain from giving judgment on the case in question. The assault cases on both sides were then with drawn by mutual consent. A charge was then preferred, under the Wilful Trespass Act, by old John Robson, his Lordship's head netter, against George Goodburn, for cutting the net on the 19th instant. After two or three witness bad been heard, the case was dismissed. The Court rose about nine o'clock, and the most intense interest prevailed during the whole hearing. TILE POISONINGS AT LAUGHARNE. A few days ago we gave a brief account of 'some suspected poisonings which had taken place at Lau4- harne, Carmarthenshire. The inquest on the body of the deceased girl, Rebecca Uphill, who, it wi'.l be remembered, was housemaid in the :family of Mr. T. Severne, of Brixton, near Laugharne, and whose death it was suspected was occasioned by arsenic administered to her by the cook in the same family, Elizabeth Gibbs, was resumed on Monday, at the Globe Inn, Laugharne, before Mr. G. Thomas, coroner for the lower division of the county ; and on the same day au inquest was commenced on the body of Mary Ann Severne, the lady of Mr. T. Saverne, whose death we before stated occurred, after a brief illness, on the 21st of July last, and was attended by all the symptoms which usually follow on the administration of arsenic. The inquest on the body of Rebecca Uphill lasted till nearly midnight, and a great number of witnesses were examined. From their statements it appeared that previous to the death of her mistress, Mrs. Severne, the cook had asserted that some one in the house would be carried off, for she had seen " corpse candles." After that lady's death, and a short time before Rebecca. Uphill died, she said, Mrs. Severne would not be the only one that would be carried out of the ho - use, but another would follow, for she had seen °• corpse candles" again. She also said to a man with whom she was walk- ing in the fields, that another would go out of the servants? room. On Sunday, the Ist ‘ inst., the deceased girl was taken ill after eating food which the prisoner, Elizabeth Gibbs, had prepared. On the following Tuesday none of the servants approved of the dinner which had been got for them, and the conk undertook to make them some broth. For this pur pose she cut up some chops of mutton into piece, and having put them into a saucepan with some water and other ingredients, she was observed to take the saucepan out of the kitchen, and put into it some thing which was supposed at the time to be meal for the purpose of thickening it. She made the broth, and it was served up to the servants. After they had partaken of it, they complained that it produced a burning sensation in the throat, and with the excep tion of the deceased they all partook of it sparingly. The deceased ate about two teacupsfull, and a fellow servant about two tablespoonfuls, and the third girl merely tasted it. In about a quarter of an hour after the maal all who bad partaken of the broth were seized with sudden illness. The deceased was terribly sick and purged, and suffered great pain in the throat, stomach, and bce.vels ; the second, who had made use or a much smaller quantity, was sick. but not relaxed ; whilst the third, who bad only sipped about a teaspoonful of the poisoned broth, suffered from burning pains in the throat. The poor girls were first taken ill bet ween two and three o'clock in the day, and the deceased was a corpse batween ten and eleven o'clock at night. Shortly before her death Mr. Hamilton, o f Lang harnr, was called in to see her, but she was evidently dying, and from her symptoms 'he considered it to be a severe attack -of cholera. It was shown that in the course of the afternoon the cook directed one of the servants to take the saucepan with the remains of the broth and throw it into the hog trough. 'the girl did so, end on bring ing in the saucepan she observed about a table-spoon ful of some white substance sticking at the bottom cf it. Upon her noticing it the cook said it was only meal, took the saucepan from her, went out with it, and in a little. while she returned with the saucepan quite clean. A sow first partook of the broth which was thrown into the the hog trough, and soon after wards was taken ill and died,. ev:dently in great agony. Another fat pig was taken with severe ill- nest, and in all seventeen pigs (most of whom, how ever, ate of the remains when diluted by the admix ture of other wash) were seized with illness. It was also proved in evidence that whilst the deceased girl was lying dead the conk said to a person whom she took up to see her, Here's the devil that would have got me out of my service. I hope she's in heaven, for Pm angry in my heart with her." This expression is supposed to refer to some comphint which the housemaid made respecting her conduct. These were the gneral facts of the case, as produced in evicknce. Mr. Herapath, analytical chemist, of Bristol, deposed that on examining the viicera he found extensive inflammation all ever the stomach and the intestines, but more particularly at the great curvature of the stomach. Upon suhjecting the con tents of tl - 1. stomach and duodenum to gravitation, he separate 1 a small prtion (something less than a tenth of a grain) of white arsenic. 11: also found arsenic in the substance of the stomach and the substance of the liver. From these evidences he was satisfied that death had been produced from the effects of white arsenic. The evidence closed at midnight. The jury re turned a verdict "That the deceased died from the effects of white arsenic, wilfully administered by the cook, Elizabeth Gibbs," being tantamount to a verdict of wilful murder against her; and she was accord ingly committed to the County Gaol to await her trial. The .econd irquest, on the - body of Mrs. Severne, was commenced during the day. The body was EX... burned and examined by Mr. Hamilton and Mr. Hughes, of Carmarthen, who found extensive marks of inflamm atiun The viscera were handed over to Mr. Herapath. That gentleman immediately com menced an atfal3 sis in the church vestry, and suc ceeded in discovering the presence of arsenic, and the inquest was sulyiequently adjourned to give time for a more perfect analysis, and for the production of evidence. The following facts have transpired respecting the death of Mrs. Severne :—On Sunday, the 21st of July, Mr. Severne went to church, leaving bis lady at home in her usual health ; on his return he found her dreadfully ill, suffering from vomiting and purg ing, accompanied by violent pain. A surgeon who was sent for considered that she was suffering from chaera, but in little more than four hours after she was first attacked she died. It is now recollected that no on 2 was wij - i her during her illness, and th,,lt ehe partook of nothing which was not prepared by the cook, Elizabeth Gibbs. The disclosures thus made at these inquests ha - re created the utmost consternation and alarm in the pretty village of Laugharne. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. APPOINTAIENTS.--ADMIRALTY, WEDNESDAY.

Albatros, 12, Acting-Commander Elli o t, w ill b e paid off at hetham on Saturday. Benetta, 3, brigantine, Commander Forbes, will Le paid off at Chatham on Monday or Tuesday. She has arrived there from Portsmouth. It is generally expected that her commander will be promoted. His services, it is generally admitted, richly demand this reward at the hands of the Board of Admiralty. G:adiator, 6, steam-frigate, Captain Adams, captured 1e tiest prize on th coast of Africa on the 25th of May. See was an Atn ,, rican clipper of 200 tons. On the 24 . 11 of June the captured another slaver of 180 tons, when she was taken possession of by Mr. Kiddie, the second master; she was named the Juliana, and proving leaky she was burned at Quitah. Part of her crew belonged to the vessel that murdered young Palmer, the midshipman of the Wasp. Jackal, steam-tender to the Gladiator, joined the latter ship off \Vhyhda, on the 23d of June, when her commanding officer, Lieut. Lambard, exchanged with Lieut. Powell, the former becoming first-lieu tenant of the steatn•frigate. Portland, 50, Captain Chub, was taken out of No. 5 dock at Devonport, on Monday morning, and placed on board the sheer hulk, and had her masts and bow sprit put in. Plymouth yacht, having had her bottom coppered, has been taken out-of No. 2 dock. PORT3MOUTH, WEDNESD .—The Fairy royal yacht, .Muster-Commander D. N. Welch, went out of harbour at eleven A.M., to try her machinery, &c. The officers of the Dutch frigate Prin Von Orange have been on board and inspected her. The Fox, 42, Captain Lambert, has proved herself a superior sailer, having beaten the Thetis, 36, Captain Kuper, both in working to windward and running in a nine-knot breeze ; also the Bonetta brigantine, close hauled. The Thetis was eight miles in advance at starting, having vveighed two h o ur s b e f ore th e F ox on Sunay last, but the latter got up with, passed her, and went into Plymouth Sound at two r M. on Mon day, the Thetis eight or nine miles astern of her. This was a result by no means expected on board either ship. The Fox has White's bow. The Phaeton, 50, has achieved another triumph over her competitors in the squadron of evolution, as we learn by letters from Lisbon to the 19th inst. After a fortnight's cruise under the terms mentioned in Commodore Martin's memorandum,* which placed the Arethusa and Leander so much on the vantage ground, she has beaten them on every point more than ever. Whether or not she tried harder to suc ceed under such circumstances, or whether she sailed better than usual, our correspondent cannot say, but the result was unprecedented. The Phaeton is truly a wonderful ship. We think the squadron has been tried enough off Lisbon during the past six months. It it is needful to test them further, we should suggest a little romlli weather work in the channel. * Copy 0 - i a memorandum from Commodore W. F, Martin, to Captain Symonds, of the Arethusa, and Cap- Win llacres, of the Leander:— " Her Majesty's ship Prince Regent, "Lisbon, 26th August, 1850. " MEMORANDUM. "1.

" W. F. MARTIN, Commodore." PLYMOUTH, SEPT. 25.—Her Majesty's frigate Fox, 42, Conunander Lambert, bound to the East Indies, and the Thetis, 40, Captain Kuper, for Lisbon and Rio Janeiro, got under weigh yesterday morning. Between 12 and 1 o'clock, wind very light from S.W. to S. S.W., tide much more than half-ebb, the Fox, in charge of Mr. Thompson, Quen's Harbour master, with the larboard tacks aboard, under all canvass, royals, flying-jib, and all, was apparently half-way between the western end of the Breakwater and Redding-point, Mount-Edgecumbe. The Thetis, under similar sail, kept away under the stern of the Fox; when she approached Redding-point, and was attempting to luff up to come in stays, and before her head came to the wind, she struck, end on, with her stem pointing —say north-west—towards the bridge between St. Nicholas Island and the main. In con sequence of the crew sallying her she rolled three times, ati b d her topiails, topgallant sails, and royals having been put aback, and her jib, foretopmast stay sail, and fling jib hauled down, she backed astern and got off. Boats from the Albion were quickly in attendance, and getting the head of the Thetis to the southward, towed her back to her moorings inside the Breakwater, whore she came to an anchor. The Fearless steamer was subsequently dispatched from tlainoaze to assist the Thetis. The Adventurer transport arrived on Tuesday, with stores, from Portsmouth ; she is ordered to be paid off, The Nautilus merchant steamer, seventeen days from Beres, with 190 tons of currants, coaled at Millbay on Monday, and proceeded up Channel for her destination (London). The Cormorant steam-sloop, on the coast of Africa, had one man killed in the action with the fort at Paranguay, near Rio. The man belonged to this town, and was named Richard Bowden; he was a stoker on board. By a letter just received; it st..tes that a round shot pissed through the side of the vessel and cut the deceased's body in two. A few months ago his brother-in-law, a man named Curtis, was killed on board her Majesty's ship Star in the Bight of Benin. The Bellerophon, 78, Captain Baynes, has not yet hove insight. Apprehensions are entertained as to her being brought into the port, the cholera having appeared in a malignant form on board.
