~. ::/9i a LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 20. (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE DODMAN. The insolvent in this case, an engraver at Norwich, came up to-day for his final order. He was supported by Mr. Sturgeon, and opposed by Mr. Bagley, who said that he wished to direct the atten tion of the Court to the first page of the schedule, wherein the " excepted articles" are stated. There was a long inventory of articles, the value of which was stated at 191. 7s. He (Mr. Bagley) submitted that the value of each article ought to be annexed thereto, that the Court had no power to: grant an adjournment for the amendment of the schedule, and that the petition must be dismissed. Mr. Sturgeon said this was the first time he had heard an objection of this description taken, and that the Court had the power to grant an adjournment for the amendment of the schedule, if it were required. Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD considered that an ad journment must take place to amend the schedule. After some further conversation, the final order was adjourned. ------- - IN RE - CURRELL. The insolvent in this case, a billiard-ta_lfiv-keeper and tobacconist, came up to-day for his 'lnterim order. His debts were 2851. 4s. 7d., and li t fie or no assets. Mr. Buchanan, who eipeared as solicitor to oppose, strongly pressed insolrent to set aside a certain sum of money a year (201.) out of the returns of his busi was, whie,it were stated by the insolvent to be about 3/. per reek, for the liquidation of his debts, to save an op pi4sitiort which would be fatal to him. The insolvent said he would pay 101: a year. Mr. Buchanan said he would accede to 201. a year, but not 101, and therefore his opposition was founded upon the ground that the insolvent had not complied with the marginal note . of the petition, inasmuch as that he had not stated his places of residence, and the period of abode within the last twelve months. The Learned COMMISSIONER considered the objection taken by Mr. Buchanan to be fatal, and therefore the petition 'must be dismissed.—Petition dismissed. SMALL DEBTS ACT.—COLES V. PARSAY. In this case an action had been been brought by toles, a butcher, against Parsay, who was a clerk in the War-office, at a salary of 150/. a year, for the reco very of a debt for goods sold and delivered. Judgment was signed in favour of Coles for 131. It appeared that an agreement had been entered into between the defendant and his creditors, that his debts (the amount of which were not stated) should be paid by yearly payments of 501. the first year, 60/. the se cond, and 701. the third, and so on till his debts were paid. All the creditors bad signed that agreement, ex cept Coles, aad if he were to sign, it would be carried into effect, and the first paymeut would commence next January. The Learned CommissloNzEt said he would make an order to pay 1/. a year till the judgment debt of 131. was paid. ~ - The plaintiff, who appeared to be much amazed, said, " What ! one pound a year—that would be a rum thing."—(Laughter) He was a poor man, and the de fendant could afford to keep two servants, and he could not keep one. Something ought to be done, Will your Honour dismiss the summons ? Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD—Certainly not. After some further discussion, ten shillings a quarter were ordered to be paid. IN RE -- LOVEGROVE. The insolvent in this case, a barge-builder, owing debts to the amount of 2461. 14s. 7d., came up to-day for his interim order. He was opposed by Mr. Bagley, on the ground that his accounts were wholly unsatifactory. The Learned COMMISSIONER considered that an ad journment must be made for the purpose of filing a cor rect schedule and special balance-sheet. The further hearing was adjourned. SURREY SESSION S.-MONDAY. '(Before Mr. PUCKLE and a Bench of Magistrates.) The adjourned sessions were opened this day before Mr. Puck!c. The calendar presented was exceedingly light, containing in all 22 cases of felony, and 12 of misdemeanour, being much below the average of pre vious years, both as regards the number and character of offences. James West, aged 40, It man of respectable appear- once, was charged with feloniously stealing a blanket, two sheets, a nt 3 counterpane, the properly of Hannah Croker. Thecalendar described the prisoner as a man of su perior education. It appears that his family are in most respectable circumstance, and that he was edu cated at one of the Universities. Some years since he was ordained a clergyman of the Church of England, but latterly he has led a very irregular life. Mr. L9cke appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Charnock on behalf of the prisoner's friends. From the statement of Mr. Locke, and the evidence adduced in support of the charge, it appeared that in the beginning of the last month, the prisoner and his wife Tented two apartments from the prosecutrix, who kept a house for lodgers, in Nunhead-lane, Peckham-rye, at a sum o,i 7s. per week. The prisoner, who was at the time _suffering from distress, was unable to pay the rent itx the first week. He, however, gave the prosecutrix three small sums, amounting to half a-crown. On the 15th of September (the prisoner and his wife having been thirteen days in the house) the prosecutrix made an excuse for entering the sleeping apartment, but she had scarcely done so when the prisoner and his wife ran out of the house and proceeded towards Peckham-rye. Information was instantly given to the police, and both were taken into custody. On the prisoner being asked 'why he was running away, he s a i d th a t h e had been robbing ready•turnished lodgings, and that he intended to release the articles on the receipt of some money which he was expecting. On examining the room the prosecu trix found that the articles above described had been taken away. They were traced to a neighbouring pawn broker's, and were found to have been pledged by the prison' r, at different dates. The duplicates of the blanket and counterpane were found on his person, and he ad mitted having sold those of the sheets. The prisoner also said that he would release them when he received smite money from his father. The evidence having been gone through, Mr. CIIA R N OCK addressed the jury on the part of the prisoner, and after alluding to the wretched state which poverty and irregularity had reduced a person who ought to be so respectable, expressed it as his opinion that the intent of the prisoner on taking the articles was not to steal them. He therefore hoped that the jury would take the most merciful view of the case. A verdict of Guilty was immediately returned. Horsford, a Mendicity officer, then entered the wit ness-box, and stated that in 1837 and 1844, the prisoner bad been charged with obtaining money through begging letters, but on both occasions had been discharged. During the present year, at Queen-square Police-co ur t, Ise was charged with illegally pawning some goods, and received a month's imprisonment. The CHAIRMAN, in passing sentence, observed, that if those who had opportunities of being respectable, like the prisoner, chose to degrade themselves, they must ex pect to be degr a d e d. A l t h oug h a clergyman, he (the Chairman) would treat him in the same manner as he would the meanest person brought before him. The sentence, therefore, on the prisoner was, that he be im prisoned in the House of Correction for six months, and kept to hard labour. GRAVESEND BOROUGH SESSIONS. Yesterday, George Tomlinson, was charged, by Mrs. Mary Chippenfield, with violently assaulting her on Saturday night last. It appeared from the evidence of the complainant, 'corroborated by that of a man of the name of William Tarling, that the defendant (who was brought up on a warrant), had, with two other men, entered the com plainant's kitchen on the night in question, and asked whether he could be provided with a bed. Complainant declined letting him have one, but acceded to the request ref the other men to provide them with beds. The d!- fendant began to abuse her, and she insisted on his quitting the ho use , w h en , w ith a h eav y s tick, he had in his hand (and which was produced in Court), he struck Cher a stunning blow on the head, and then rushing to the door, broke the latch, and ran off. He was subse quently taken on a w arran t f or th e assau lt. The defendant said that ho neither abused the com plainant, nor struck her. The CHAIRMAN (Mr. Oakes) said that the assault, being an aggravated one, the prisoner was fined 10s. and ens ts. Defendant—But suppose I have not a shilling? Mr. OAKES—Then you will go to the House of Cor rection, with hard labour, for 14 days. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MARYLEBONE. 1)r. Hare, M.D., residing at No. 9 ♦, Langham-place, attended before Mr. Rawlinson, on a summons obtained against him by Abraham Alliston, driver of the cab 2,261, for the recovery of 2s. 6d., alleged to be due to bile., the said complainant. The cabman► stated, that on Saturday, the 11th instant, the touk up, in Southampton-row, the defendant, who agreed to ;ire him ss. to take him, first, to Cunning lam-place, Si. John's-wood, afterwards to the Acacia road, and from thence to the Seven Sisters, Holloway. lie eras conveyed to the several places named, and some time after he had alighted at Ifolloway, he (the cabman) was told that if he would take him to Langham-place he would give him 6d. more. He was informed that that wits not, sufficient, when, without any more being then said, he got into the vehicle, and was conveyed to his residence. On alighting he gave only 6d. in addition to the 11., notwithstanding he was told that the fare back from Holloway was 3s. He (the cabman) bad therefore aummened him for the extra half-crown. Dr. Hare, in answer to the charge, said that nothing whatever was mentioned about 55., and that he had paid Nery amply tho cabman, whom he had engaged by time," and not " distance." The cabman asserted that there was no understanding at all regarding payment by " time," and he called a witness (the waterman), who corroborated his state ment in that particular. Mr. RAWLINSON decided the case by adjudging that Dr. Hare should pay 2s. Gd , the fare c l a i me d, t oge th er with 33. for th e cabman's two . attendances at the Court, and an additional 2a., the expense of the summons, making in the whole, 7s. 6d. Colonel Henry Bathurst, 83, Glouees4 t at tended to prefer a charge a ga i nst Williaml,_ , driver and proprietor of alcab, for refusi ng t o ta k e a f are when called upon to do so. The Colonel stated that on Wednesday last his ser vant called defendant from the Paddington -street rank, and on Ilia,4it t riug up to the door, he (the Colonel) and two friers intered the vehicle, desiring to be taken to the Z4,)ological.gardens, Regent's-park. Defendant then • ed from box, and, opening the door, told them lan e and manner that as there wee© three ct Q S of them he must have O. more than the legal fare if he took them at all. He (the Colonel) ordered him to drive on, telling him that he should have what was his fare, and nothing more. He refused to convey them, and they were therefore under the necessity of getting out and going in doors, after paying defendant Bd., which he demanded for being called off the stand, He tried to force his way into the hall, and would have - done so had not he (Colonel Bathurst) pushed him away and caused the door to be shut in his face.

The object of this Company is to establish a direct line of rail way for passengers, goads, and commercial, mining, and agricul tural produce between the harbour of Watchet on the Bristol Channel, and the harbour of Bridport on the English Channel, and provide means of inland transit for a large proportion of the pro duce at present necessarily sent by the dangerous and uncertain Passage round the Land's End, and at the same time afford to the intermediate rich and populous districts ready and convenient rail way communication. The direct line will be 48 miles in length, and will proceed from Watchct to Taunton, and thence by Hatch Beauchamp, and by Ilminstcr to Chard, and by Crewkerne and Bcaminster to Bridport harbour. A branch will proceed out of the line, about mid.way between Watchet and Taunton, directly to Wiveliscombe. All these towns and their neighbourhoods are populous and opulent, and many of them very much so, and the localities are remarkable for their richness, fertility, beauty, and numerous resident gentry. At Wiveliscombe this line will avail itself of the North Devon Railway to Taunton, and also westward; at Taunton it will enter the station of the Bristol and Exeter Railway, and thence proceed to Mangerton, four miles short of Bridport, where it will unite with the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, one of the Great Western lines of Railway, and thence proceed on that line to Bridport Harbour. It will also c ross th e p ro posed line from Yeovil to Exeter about two miles west of Crewkerne. The junction of the two Channels was long since deemed an im portant object. To effect it, surreys were successively made for r ship canal by the late Mr. Rennie, Mr. Telford, and other scientific men, who concurred in the importance of such a work in a na. tional point of view ; th e d es i gn was matured, and in 1824 an Act of Parliament was passed; and it stands recorded as the opinions of Mr. Telford and Captain Nichols, that the canal would afford a remuneration to the subscribers of 16 3s per cent. on a capital of 1,712,8441. The sum required for this work, being so much less than that for the Ship canal ; the increased demand of a greatly increased population, and the present vast commercial energies of the country, make it manifest that goods may be conveyed by this railway at far less than half the charge upon which Mr. Telford and Captain Nichols formed their opinion. The intended line from Minehead to BrisigMater, will meet and cros this line nor Watchet. SITPPLEMRNT IHE EVEN LNG SUN, TITESDA Y, OCTOBER 21, 1845. No railway, either made, or being made, or projected, will serve the purposes which this important and favoured line will serge. The country it will pass through possesses a population exceed ing 150,000. It leads to marine watering places of much resort— Weymouth, Lyme, and Seaton on the English Channel shore, and Linton, Minehead, and Blue Anchor on the shore of the Bristol Channel. Taunton, which may now be considered the county town of Somersetshire, has always been the market and trading town of the country north-west of it, including Watchet and its surrounding district ; the route to which, from London and the north, is through Taunton. A well remunerating passenger traffic may hence be expected. The country also contains between 80 and 100 mills and fac tories, many of which are worked by steam in aid of water.power, and many more of the proprietors will avail themselves of steam power when coals shall be procurable at a reduced rate by this railway. The millers are most desirous of having the markets of South Wales opened to them. Several influential coal proprietors of South Wales are members of the Provisional Committee. The country also possesses several extensive lime quarries, for manure; the lime is burnt with culm brought from Wales; the conveyance both of the culm and lime is at present attended with much expense to the agriculturist. The line will also be of high importance to this agricultural district by opening to it the markets of Taunton, Tiverton, South Molton, Barnstaple, in the north of Devon, Exeter, and London. The towns of Taunton, Ilminster, Chard, Crewkerne, Beaminster, Broadwindsor, Brid. port, Axminster, Charmouth, and Lyme Regis, will be connected by the line, and derive from it supplies of coals, culm, timber, dry goods, and other articles of import. The line will afford to those towns and their populous neighbourhoods, increased facilities of communication with other lines of railroad. The usual prevalence of westerly winds during the winter months is so great as to render the passage round the Land's-end very un certain. The facilities offered by the proposed railway will obviate such uncertainty, save many hundred miles of dangerous sea pas sage, and mere than compensate for the charges attending re-ship ment at Bridport from Watchet, particularly in the article of Welsh coals, now in great demand in and about London for steam engines, steam-boats, and other purposes. The harbour of Bridport admits ♦essels at spring.tides of 350 tons burthen; it receives large supplies of coals, culm, flax, hemp, Baltic and American timber, iron, slate, tallow, staves, and nu. merous other articles ; which, in the aggregate, last year, amounted to nearly 40,000 tons, a large portion of which consisted of flax and hemp, for the numerous manufactories of yarns, sailcloth, sacks, nets, lines, twines, and linen goods, which when wrought would pass along the line to the two ports, for shipment, or to other railways. The harbour of Watchet, at spring -tides, admits vessels of 200 tons burthen, and carries on an extensive and important daily trade with the ports of Tenby, Llanelly, Swansea, Neath, Cardiff, New port, and Merthyr Tydvil, in coals, culm, corn, flour, and other provisions, cattle, sheep, salt, timber, slates, iron, and other articles of merchandise ; employing twelve vessels belonging to the harbour regularly and exclusively ; one trading with Liverpool. It has also a considerable corn, malt, flour, and goods trade with Bristol, and employs therein several vessels regularly Both the harbours are capable of being much improved, and belong to proprietors able and willing to improve them to meet the increased wants of the community. _ . The port of Watchet, as it is, has the largest and most important trade on the English side of the Bristol Channel. This Railway will increase that trade fourfold, and therewith its own prosperity. The shore contiguous to Watchet exclusively abounds with lime of the mast celebrated description, both for water-works and ex terior building, being the same as the universally known and cele brated Aberthaw lime, which also is on the directly opposite coast; and at and around Watchet are extensive corn and flour mills, paper mills, and clothing mills. The foregoing facts show that the line must have a very exten sive goods traffic. It is not intended to put forward Watchet as a packet station either for Ireland or South Wales ; nor does this measure require such aid. No portion of the coast of the Bristol Channel, east of Ilfracombe, can have the slightest pretension to be, or be made, a packet station. In the first place, it is obvious that the railway in actual progress from the Government Dockyard at Pembroke (or Hobbe's Point, 100 miles further down the Bris tol Channel) will take all the packet trade from the south of Ireland : Liverpool takes Dublin;whilst Ilfracombe ( 50miles west of Watchet), and Swansea (directly opposite to Ilfracombe), maintain a regular steam packet passenger and goods traffic; and in the second place, all the harbours on the English side east of Ilfracombe are dry, and for a great length, at low water, the shores being very fiat, and to construct a harbour on them, to admit large class steamers and to land passengers at all times of the tide, would, if not impracticable, cost an enormous sum. To hold out expectations that either or them might be such packet station, would for the above reasons be delusive. The extended North Devon line of railways will serve the port of Ilfracombe and its packets. A survey has been made by the engineers, who have reported that the line is easy of construction, and will not interfere with any park. " " It aflbrds great satisfaction to the promoters to be enabled to announce that the directors of the Bristol and Exeter Railway Company have promised to give this measure their favourable con sideration, and the promoters entertain a sanguine expectation that it will receive their support. _ _ The neighbouring l a ndowners and gentry are favourable to the measure, and all the merchants and traders both at Watchet and Bridport, as well as the principal coal proprietors in South Wales, and all persons throughout the line, entertaik a high opinion of its merits, and earnestly desire it. Many extensive landowners on the line, whose names do not appear on the Provisional Committee, have yet expressed them selves as friends to the measure. The Act will be applied for next session, and the liabilities will be limited to the amount of subscriptions, and interest at four per cent. will be paid on all calls front the time of payment until the opening of the line. An early allotment of the shares will be made, and the usual Subscribers' Agreement and Parliamentary Contract must be exe cuted by the Shareholders when called upon.

NALDER, Secretary. 83, Basinghall-street, 15th Oct. 1845. WORSHIP-STREET. A young man named Charles Gibson, described as a lawyer, was placed at the bar, before ;:tr. Broughton, on the charge of stabbing a nr... - o named Moses Isaacs, and also with cutting and 'wounding the police-consthble who had taken hie- Pol;- into custody. ....e.constable Davis, II 36, whose upper lip was ,overed with adhesive plaister, stated that while on duty in Keate-street, Spite Melds, at one o'clock that morning, he saw the prisoner engaged in a violent struggle with the man Isaacs, who called loudly for assistance, and exclaimed that he had been stabbed with some sharp instrument. Witness instantly hastened to the spot; and observing a stream of blood gushing from the nose of Isaacs, he attempted to seize the prisoner, when the latter made a blow at him, which disabled him in a moment, and he found that the back of his hand had been laid open to the bone. Witness then attempted to secure him with the other hand, when the prisoner made a sudden blow at his face, and he felt his upper lip com pletely cut through with some sharp weapon, which struck violently against his teeth, and filled his mouth with blood. Findin.); that he was unable, from the injuries he had received, to retain his hold of the prisoner, the complainant Isaacs took the rattle from his pocket and sprung it, but, before any assistance could be procured, the prisoner had succeeded in effecting his escape. Sergeant Barker and other officers shortly afterwards came up, and, after an active pursuit, the prisoner was at length traced to a coffee-house in Norton-folgate, and taken into custody, but no knife or other instrument was then found in his possession. A certificate was handed to the Bench from Mr. Meeres, the divisional police surgeon, which stated that the officer had received a wound through the upper lip, penetrating into the mouth, which had evidently been inflicted with some cutting instrument, and . that he had also sustained a second wound upon the band, inflicted apparently with the same weapon. Sergeant Barker stated that, on reaching the station house that morning, the man Isaacs was bleeding pro fusely from a terrible gash on the lower part of the nose, so he immediately sent for a police surgeon, who, upon dressing the wound, pronounced that the cartilage had been completely divided. The complainant was then directed to attend in Court that morning, and prosecute the charge, but he had not yet made his appearance ; and as it was known that he was on intimate terms with the prisoner, there could be no doubt that he had voluntarily kept out of the way to avoid giving evidence against him. _ _ _ In answer '0 the charge, the prisoner said that a quarrel having arisen between him and his friend Isaacs, the policeman had most unnecessarily interfered, and although he admitted having struck him several times with his fist, he positively denied having made use of a knife or any other weapon of that description. Mr. BROUGLITON said that he should commit the prisoner for cutting and wounding the policeman, with intent to do him some grievous bodily harm, and should issue a summons to compel the attendance of the man Isaacs, on whose appearance the depositions would be taken for his final committal to Newgate upon both charges. Edward Putland, recently employed as town-traveller, in the service of Messrs. Lewis, Parke, and Co., muslin manufacturers, in Cheapside, was brought up for further examination on the charge of embezzling various sums of money, the property of his employ ers. Mr. Wilkins, the barrister, who conducted the prose cution, briefly stated the facts of the case, and called Mr. James Chapman, a linendraper at North Brixton, who proved having paid to the prisoner a sum of 11/. 6s. 6d. on behalf of his employers, on the 26th August, and produced his receipt for the amount. Two other cases of a similar description having been established, Mr. J. Douglas, managing clerk of the prosecutors proved that neither of the sums in question had been ac. counted for. Mr. Wilkins then said that a most serious imputation having been made by the prisoner at the previous exami nation against the last witness, to the effect that the charge had only been preferred in consequence of the indignant rejection by the prisoner's wife of immoral overtures made to her by Mr. Douglas, he would now call upon him to state, on his oath, whether there Was the slightest foundation for such a charge. Mr. BROUGHTON, however, said be could not receive any voluntary statement upon a subject which might form the grounds of a substantive charge against the witness, and which was also wholly irrelevant to the present case. The matter was not, therefore, further pressed, and the depositions in three cases having been completed, the prisoner was ordered to be brought up again next week for the production of further evidence. LAMBETH. Mrs. Ellen Lavien, alias Evans, alias Edwards, who has been in custody for several days, on a charge of victimising several surgeons, in the vicinity of Clapham, as well as in other parts of the metropolis, was brought before Mr. Henry for final examination. Mr. Games, as on the previous examinations, attended on behalf of the prisoner. In addition to the cases already taken against the pri soner, the following witnesses were called : Miss Ann Cockrane, an assistant to Miss Richards, who keeps a lace warehouse, 153, Cheapside, deposed that early in the month of April last, the prisoner drove up to the shop in a cab, and on entering in quired for Miss Richards. She (witness) told her that Miss Richards was then engaged, but that as soon as she was disengaged she should see her. She then said she was going out of town by the Layton coach, and feared she should be too late if she stopped any time, and that having unfortunately forgotten her purse, she had called to ask Miss Richards, who knew her, for 3s. to pay her cab-hire. Witness asked what name she should give to Miss Richards, and the prisoner replied, " Miss Evans, Grove-house," and she sent one of the young persons in the shop to Miss Richards. The answer returned from Miss Richards was that she knew no person of the name of Evans, of Grove-house, and therefore could not give any money. The prisoner, upon hearing this, expressed much astonishment, said she was sure that if Miss Richards saw her she would at once comply with her request, and expressed a wish to see her. Her manner was so urgent that a second message was sent to Miss Richards, but the latter peremptorily refused to give her any money. The pri soner then stated that she was sure if the pretty looking young woman was then in the shop who used to serve there, she would at once have given her the money, and described a young woman who had previ ously lived there so accurately, that witness thought her representations were correct, and also fancied Miss Richards might have known and forgotten her. Under this impression, and influenced also by the highly re spectable appearance of the prisoner, she (witness) gave the prisoner 35., one of which she had to borrow from her fellow shop-woman. Miss Margaret Clayton, an assistant to Miss Richards, corroborated the whole of the evidence of the last wit ness, and said she had lent a shilling to Miss Coekrane to give to the prisoner. Miss Pricilla Richards declared she had never to her knowledge seen the prisoner before that day, and that she never had a customer, nor had she been acquainted with a Miss Evans, of Grove-house. This concluded the evidence against, the prison er , and Mr. Henry committed her to Newgate to take her trial at the Central Criminal Court, upon three distinct charges of fraud, and obtaining money upon false repre sentations. The prisoner, who is evidently altered since her ap prehension, on hearing the decision of the magistrate, dropped in the dock, and was obliged to be carried on of court. SOUTHWARK. Three men, named Ingram, Burke, and Chiddy, were charged with stealing three bottles of sherry from the traffic department of the London and Brighton Railway Company. It appeared that the prisoners were in the employ ment of the Company as porters, and that on Saturday the prisoner Ingram absented himself from his work. He was seen by one of the superintendents beneath a platform drinking wine from a bottle, and on being questioned, be admitted that the three bottles had been taken from a hamper, and that the other prisoners were participators in the robbery. On being given into cus tody, Chiddy expressed regret at being concerned in the matter. Mr. TRAIL said that the statement made by Ingram and Chiddy would justify him in remanding them, but as regarded Burke, he would require further proof than an admission of another prisoner. Ingram and Chiddy both denied having made the con fessions ascribed to them. They were remanded to Wednesday, and Burke was discharged, on entering into his own recognisance in 201., to appear when required. THE LITTLE FOUNDLING.—Some few weeks ago tine little girl was left in a band.bssx at a gentleman's house in Skircoat, from whence it was removed to the union workhouse. During the past week two 5/. notes were inclosed to C. Barstow, Esq., clerk to the Halifax union, accompanied by a neatly written note, evidently by a female hand, as follows :—" For the main. tenance of the foundling_a little girl—left between the Sowerbr bridge station and Halifax, in the beginning of September. First Year." It would seem, therefore, that the subscription will be an annual one. It is intended to christen the little foundling in a few days; perhaps the lady who forwarded the above note would intimate what name she would wish it to be baptised ? Halifax Guardian. THE ISLE OF JERSEY RAILWAY.—The prelimi naries connected with the " Isle of Jersey Railway and Pier Company," are now being rapidly proceeded with. We have now before us an accurate plan of the whole scheme. It would be dif ficult to conceive a line of railroad, even of mush more limited dimensions than that which now engages the attention of our islanders, capable of being constructed at a cost so comparatively trifling. We understand that since the recent meeting at Losey's hotel, many of the previeusly most bitter enemies of the scheme have become converted to an idea of itoutillty. Not a few inquiries have been nude of ourselves, in relation to the probability of a rise in the rate of premium—inquiries evincing the deep interest entertained with respect to the affair. We are happy to record the generous offer of Mr. Wallis, second Master on board `the Excellent, who very kindly volunteered his service s t o t h e M aster-Attendant of Portsmouthu to st ocuy an ard, to co n d uct the ill-fated Eclair, from the Motherbank gate creek, should any difficulty occur in obtaining a pilot.

The object of this undertaking is to open a direct line of rail way to connect the Northern, Eastern, and South Essex Railways, by means of a steam ferry from Tilbury Fort to Gravesend, with Tunbridge Wells, Lewes, and Brighton. It is contemplated to proceed from the Eastern Counties Rail way at or near Harlow station to Tilbury, crossing the river by a steam floating.bridge to Gravesend, passing by Cobham, Snodland, Mailing, and Hadlow to Tunbridge, thence by the South. Eastern Railway to Tunbridge Wells, passing Uckfield to Lewes, and thence joining the Brighton, Lewes, and Hastings Railway to Brighton. An inspection of the map will clearly show the great import. ante of this railway, whether considered in a local or national point of view, forming as it will a most useful chain of local com munication for the fertile and populous tracts through which it passes. It will bring the Northern and Eastern Counties, the mouth of the Thames, and North Kent, into direct communiCation, by way of Brighton, with Dieppe and Havre, and thus form, in con. junction with the railways now in progress on the Continent, the shortest possible route to Paris and the Mediterranean. By this railway the large population of the North Eastern Coun ties, numbering nearly two millions, will have a direct and easy communication with the whole el the populous and important counties of Kent and Sussex, without going round to London, and thereby avoiding the inconvenience arising from the Unconnected lines north and south of the metropolis. _ _ The utility of this line to the naval and military service, both in times of peace and war, for the conveyance of troops and stores, is evident. With the existing railways, and those now in progress in Kent and Sussex, a most complete system of local communication will be effected ; and as such, the projeet has been received with the meat distinguished approbation and pledges of support from the principal proprietors along the line, and the Corporation of Gravesend have promised their entire sanction to, and will cordially support it. The ground has been carefully surveyed, and found tv present no difficulties to the formation of a good working line. The existing local traffic has been ascertained to be amply suf. ficient to fulfil , the requirements of the undertaking; but a large accession of valuable traffic cannot fail to be the result of the increased accommodotion thus afforded to the public, and rendering the undertaking one of the most important as well as productive lines of railway in that part of the country. The Committee reserve power to themselves to form branches from Snodland to Chatham. _ The liability of the shareholders will be restricted by Act of Parliament to the amount of their subscriptions, and power will be applied for in the Bill to allow interest at 4 per cent. per annum en all calls, from the passing of the Act until the opening of the line. Applications for prospectuses and also for shares may be addressed in the usual form to George Smith, Esq. Solicitor, 24, Golden-square, and No. 2, Guildhall-chambers, Basinghall.street ; Messrs.

This railway will pass from the city of Exeter, through the rich valley of the Exe, via Silverton and Bickleigh, direct to Tiverton, one of the chief towns of this important district, and formerly the principal ►narket and manufacturing town of the west of England. It will administer largely to the prosperity of this rich and productive country, and will pass from Tiverton, by Bainp ton, Dulverton, and Dunster, to the port of Minehead in the Bristol Channel, opposite Landaff, Swansea, and Cardiff, from whence the produce of the rich mines arid quarries of Merthyr Tydvii, Ponty pool, and. Newport, in Wales, can be transferred by the shortest route to the English markets. From Minehead it will pass by Porlock and Combe-Marten to the much-frequented watering-place of Ilfracombe, where it unites with the Barnstaple and Ilil•acom4 Railway. At Minehead it will also join the Bridgewater and Mine head Railway, to which it will serve as an important feeder ► connect ing the towns on the north coast of Devon directly with the great western trunk railroads passing from London to the Land's End. It will also form a very short and direct junction of the Bristol and English Channels. A mo'e valuable and important line to the country which it will traverse could not be projected.

The object of this line of railway is to connect, by a direct route, the important town and seaport of Boston with the centre of Eng land, by way of Grantham and Melton Mowbray, where it will join the Syaton and Peterborough branch of the Midland Counties Railway. By this railway, which will be about forty-four miles in length, and laid through a country nearly level, it is intended to pass by or near Swinlshead, Donington, Folkingharn, Grantham, Stoke, Roch ford, and Melton Mowbray. It is evident that this line will be of great convenience and utility, by affording to a part of the country at present deprived of it the advantage of railway communication with the counties of Rutlandshire, Leicestershire, Northampton shire, 'Warwickshire, &c., and thus connecting the agricultural districts of Lincolnshire with the manufacturing parts of England, affording to the latter an easy and accessible means of export for their manufactures. It is uanecessary to enlarge upon the advantages which will arise from this railway, which passes through one of the richest and most fertile parts of England. The population is dense, and a glance at the map will show that this line is well laid out, net only for the direct traffic from Leicester and the intermediate places to Boston, but also for the general traffic which will ne brought to this line by tli,e several railways which will be connected with it.

NAVAL IN'T'ELLIGENC E . 11 ooLwicm, Oar. 20.—The paying off of the Growler steam-frigate; Cotinnander F. H. Buckle, has baen postponed for a few days, in consequence of the pay-books not being ready. A silver medal, a gratuity of 7E; and a pension of 201. 12s. a year have been awarded to William Hoskins, Sailmaker ; and a silver medal, with a gratuity of 15L, to Colour- Sergeant Edward Burns, of the Woolwich division of Royal Marines, serving on board the vessel. George M'Grat h, captain of the forecastle, is to be transferred to the Excel lent gunnery-ship, at Portsmouth, to be promoted as gunner, for his excellent conduct on the coast of Africa. The Ardent steam-vessel, Commander John Russell (b), recently returned from service on the coast of Africa, is to be paid off on Thursday, the 23d inst. The whole of the officers and crew of this vessel are in excellent health, and were sometime on shore at the Island of Ascension, the vessel having to undergo considerable repairs, in consequence of the long period (upwards of four years) she had been in commis sion, before she could return home. - A portion of the crew and engineers of the Ardent are in the Ringdove, 16, on her way to England from the coast of Africa, to be paid off. the Meteor steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander George Buttler, will leave Woolwich to-day for Greenhithe, to have her compasses adjusted by Captain Johnson, and then pro ceed to Plymouth, to he paid wages in advance. ' The Avon steam-vessel, Commander Denham, F.S.A., will leave Woolwich on Tuesday or Wednesday for Greenhithe, to have her compasses adjusted, and will be paid advance of wages at Plymouth. Lieutenant Frederick D. Yonge (1845) is a n ppointed to her, vice Cooke ; and Lieutenant William Rowlett (1838) is ordered a passage i her to the coast, to join the Penelope steam-frigate at that station. Lieutenant James B. West and Mr. William T. Mainpri.se, master, are appointed to study steam at the factory at Wool wich Dockyard. Messrs. William Chambers, Robert Moore, and Eneas Vaughan are appointed acting inspectors of shipwrights in the Dockyard here. Mr. Robert Pringle, clerk in the Royal Arsenal, Wool with, is appointed Ordnance and Deputy-Storekeeper and Acting Barrack-master at Enniskillen, Ireland, vice Gid dings, deceased. The Java freight-ship was towed down the river on Satur day from Deptford by two hired steamers, on her way to Corfu, with detachments of troops to join their regiments on Mediterranean stations, and with a supply of stores. It is gratifying to be able to state, that the officers and crew of the Growler steam-frigate are now all quite well, and there is no restriction whatever on their movements. Some of the officers have gone to London to-day, and the paybooks have been transmitted to the Admiralty, and on their return in the course of the week the vessel will be paid off. It was hitherto a general belief amongst the officers and men serving on the coast of Africa, that the fever was not of a contagious nature, but consequent on serving at particular stations, as sea-sickness is consequent on going to sea ; but the death of Mr. Saunders, who piloted the Eclair, to Standgate-creek, has caused a different belief amongst many, who now think the fever is contagious. [ADVERTISEMENT.] TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I observe that some person or persons have been making free with my name in the advertisements of various Railway Committees in The Erening Sun of the 17th inst. ; I therefore take an early opportunity of stating that I have not given my assent to beci , me one of the Provisional Com mittee of the following railway projects—viz., The Southern Junction—the Oxford and Salisbury—The London, Bir mingham, and Buckinghamshire. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, PORTARLINGTON. Castle Hotel, Richmond, Oct. 18, 1845. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sin,—Will you oblige me with your opinion on the follow ing points:— " If a person take shares in any new rai:way scheme, and sign the Parliamentary Contract, how does he get released from liability in the event of his selling such shares? "Is a dep - osit of :51. per share required to be paid to the Receiver-General of the Court of Chancery prior to the ap plication to Parliament for the Bill?—and if so, by what time is such deposit to be paid? Devizes, Oct. 20, 1845. Your obedient servant, A SUBSCRIBER." [We believe that it is the general opinion among lawyers that the person who signs the Parliamentary contract cannot release himself from his liability even in the event of his selling the scrip, and that should the holder of the scrip at any time fail in making his payments to the Company before they have procured their Act, they can come upon the original subscriber to the Parliamentary contract. When once the Act is obtained the scrip is called in, and the then holder of the scrip is registered as a shareholder. When this registration of shares takes place, and not until then, is the subscriber of the Parliamentary contract re leased from his liability. With regard to the second question, the standing orders of the House of Commons require that ten per cent. of the proposed capital shall be deposited with the receiver-general some time in the month of November, or parties will not be enabled to introduce their Bill in the ensuing session.—En. SUN.] ROYAL NAVAL BENEVOLENT SOClETY.—Yester day, the quarterly general court of the governors and members of the Royal Naval Incorporated Society was held at the Thatched Honse Tavern, Admiral Sir Charles Ogle, president, in the chair. The muster of officers was unusually numerous. Commander Dickson, the secretary, read the receipts and disbursements for the quarter. The former amounted to 1,0071. 135., and the latter figured 7284 16s. lid. The financial account further stated that the sum of 5501. was apportioned for distribution amongst eighty applicants for relief, amongst whom sums varying from bl. to 251. were distributed. Sir Charles Malcolm was elected vice-president, in the room of Sir Edward Rowley, deceased. At the close of the proceedings the gallant chairman, who came up purposely from Portsmouth to attend the court, made a strong appeal on behalf of the objects for whose benefit the society is formed. In conclusion, he gave the following statement of the numbers relieved and sums granted them, from 1791 to 1844, via., 53 flag-officers' widows and orphans, 1,3251, 17s. ; 1,142 captains, their widows and or phans, 12,0941. 2s. 6d. ; 3,294 lieutenants, their widows and or phans, 28,310/. 17s. 6d. ; 1,433 masters, their widows and or phans, 10,2554 16s. ; 828 surgeons, their widows and orphans, 6,5401.

Gross sum granted to them, 70,6771. 17s. Thanks having been voted to the gallant ad mral, the court broke up. SUDDEN DEATH OF A CONCERT SINGER.—Late on Saturday evening Mr. William Payne held an inquest at the Crown Tavern, Ba,ingball•street, City, on the body of John Conolly, aged thirty-live years, a well-known singer, lately residing at No. 4, C urch-alley, Basinghall-street. The deceased went on Friday evening to a tavern, where he sang several songs, after which he returned home in good health and went to bed. He was quite sober and did not make any complaint. About half-past five o'clock on Satur day morning a companion, who slept in the same bed, was awoke by hearing the deceased make a gurgling noise in the throat as if he was suffocating. His friend jumped out of bed and beld him and called for the landlord, who immediately sent for a surgeon, but he died scon after. The surgeon attri buted death to the rupture of a blood-vessel of the heart or in its immediate vicinity. The deceased was a very free drinker. The jury returned a verdict of "Natural death." FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH BRITISH RAIL wAY.—On Wednesday morning, about eight o'clock, a young man, named Henry Scooner, a waggon driver, unfortunately lost his life on the line of the North British Railway, nearly opposite the gate of Parson's-green. He was taking two empty waggons down a slight incline at a rapid pace, when they came into violent collision with some others that were being filled at the bottom, and Scooner was instantly crushed to death between the two he had in charge. He was a young man, and unmarried.—Glasgow Courier. COLLISION ON THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY. —On Saturday evening, between six and seven o'clock, one of the long trains was coming in, and, on arriving a few hundred garde from the terminus, the train stopped for the tickets to be taken from the passengers. While this was being done by the guards, the engine was detached from the front, and taken round and placed in the rear of the train fur the purpose of propelling it to the terminus. The consequence was, that the light, which on the journey had been exhibited, was covered, and the train with its passengers came in without any signal. While this was taking place on the lower portion of the platform, an engine, which was about to be attached to the down train, and under the control of the driver, a man named Lawrence, moved from one line to the other, and during the transit the engine and train met. The first intimation of their proximity was a violent concussion, followed by cries for assistance from the up-train. The collision happening nearly under the platform, aid was soon rendered, and upon the officers going to the carriage in advance, they found all the occu pants flung from their seats, several besplattered with blood, but which, upon examination, proved to come from two gentlemen, one of whom had received a contusion over the eye, the other a bloody nose. With these exceptions, no other injury took place. Yester day it was understood than an inquiry was instituted into the cause of the collision, when it was statad that Lawrence declared that he did not expect the up-train in for four or five minutes, and while removing the engine from one curve to the other, he considered he had sufficient time to get out of the way of the up-train; that the first intimation he had of its being near him was from the concussion. INSPECTION OF THE NEW PIER AT BLACKFRIARS BRIDGE.—On Monday the Chairman of the Navigation Committee, Mr. Deputy Bedford, Mr. Deputy Peacock, Messrs. Charles, Joyce, and a majority of the most active members of the Com mittee, attended by the Water 13ailiff, W. Woodthorpe, Esq., and other civic functionaries proceeded in the City navigation barge to inspect the piers and landing places presented at the several recent Courts of Conservancy. The principal object of the Committee wes, however, the inspection of, the new pier at Blackfriars- bridge, previous to issuing their authority for its being opened for the use of public this day. On the arrival of the Committee shortly after one o'clock, they were received by the newly.appointed pier -master, Mr. Robert Ware, as also the clerk and overseers of the works. The Chairman and Committee then proceeded to examine the various appointments and erections that had been made for the safety and convenience of the public, and expressed their entire satisfaction of the whole arrangements, and the capabilities of the structure fully answering the purposes for which it had been erected. Mr. Woodthorpe stated that several of the companies whose boats had been in the habit of plying at the various piers, had not as yet signed the contract and consented to the regulations, and that, therefore, of course, those companies' boats would not be allowed to call. Directions were then given by the authority of the Committee to the pier -master, and those acting under him, to see that theregulations and instructions for the conduct and manage. ment of the pier should be strictly enforced. POTATOES AND SCRlP.—There was a sort of slight panic on the Stock Exchange here, on Wednesday, caused it was said, by the partial failure of the potato crop —and the joke was kept up by a drummer or two going through and warning the citizens not to cat what were of them, because they were bad. This small depression did not last, of course, and it was laughed over next day under the designation of the " potato panic."_ Glasgow Constilutionel. THE NAIL TRADE.—The Bromsgrove nailors re ceived on Saturday last, 20s. in the pound for their labour. During the depression of the trade the tailors were subject to a discount of 20 per cent , and a short time ago they struck for a reduction of the per centage, ahel were allowed 18s. for the pound. They now receive their . money in full. At the quar terly meeting of the nail ironmongers, held at the Hotel, Dud lay, on Tuesday last, the following resolution was adopted " That the masters now present are favourable to ah advance in the wages of the workmen."— if oscester Guardian. EFFECTS OF RAILWAYS.—At .132dford quarter sessions, last week, John Weods, of Eaton Socon, formerly a postboy at the tar-famed ('ock Inn, at Eaton, applied for a transfer of the license of the inn, which formerly sent out fifty pair of horses daily, and is now reduced to 2 roadside public-house. It is laughable to see carriages approaching its frontage, not aware, and scarcely will they believe, 'tie closed. General Grosvenor, the famed racer, was the last that changed at the noble inn, and the feelings of the General were overpowered to think for upwards of forty years his favourite inn was to. caste from his favours.-- Bedford Mercut y. Preparations are now making for commencing the stupendous work of the High Level Bridge across the Tyne. As a preliminary step the engineers have been this week boring in the bed of the river for the foundations of the piers, In view of these and other extensive operations, MX. Hudson, 111.p1, 1 and Mr. Robert Stephenson, hate paid frequent visits t- town of late.—..Yeta castle Journa?. -~_ ---.....-....----------..---"Th ORCESTER, WARWICK, an d RUGP y RAILWAY COMPANY.
