lisment-street, in which his name appeared as one of the Provisional Committee of the Leviathan Air-engine, and he had never authorised any person to connect his name with any project of the kind. He was first apprised of the cir cumstance by receiving the printed paper by the post. Mr. Bevin submitted that he had offered quite sufficient proof to warrant the Court to adjudicate upn the case. Mr. Clarkson said it would be first necessary to show by evidence that the defendants had knowingly placed the com plainant's name upon the list without his authority. Mr. Bevin—That's for the defendants to show, and I ap prehend that sufficient has been proved by the complainant to induce the Court to inflict a fine of 101. upon each of the defendants, as the complainant has stated that no authority had ever been granted on his part. Mr. Clarkson hoped that he would act be forced to enter into a:fruitless inquiry, for, admitting that there was sufficient proof that the name of the complainant was used without his knowledge, it should be borne in mind that there was none whatever to show that his name had been inserted by either of the defendants, or by their authority, as would appear from the letter he held in his hand. Mr. Baldwin havinglooked over the letter, said that it con tained no authority from him. Mr. HALL considered it would be necessary on the part of the complainant to prove by whose direction the issue and getting up of the prospectus in question had been established. Mr. Bevin was of a different opinion, a• the person who had printed the document was present, and might be exa mined. Mr. Clarkson admitted that certain proof might be given by the printer, and although it might be shown that the pros pectus was actually sent from the chambers of the Company, there was nothing to fixthe charge upon the defendants. Ile would, however, beg to ask the complainant a few questions. The complainant, in cross-examination, said he did not know how many provisional committees his name was upon. He should think not as many as thirty or forty, but there might be as many as ten. He begged to be allowed to say that he had always encouraged railways in Ireland, for which purpose he bad given his name to about ten. There were also someforeign ones, about thirty in France, and in England ten altogether ; as far as his recollection would serve him, twelve at the utmost. Ile had seen a Dr. 3Plienzie but once, from whom he received a letter, on the 4th of October, from his residence, at 68, Mortimer-street, inviting him to have his name inserted on the list of the provisional committee, as he had been connected with various railway companies, to which he returned an answer. Mr. Clarkson—l see, by the newspaper accounts, that when you applied for a summons you represented that you had repeatedly written to the defendants to remove your name without effect—is it true? Complainant —I did not say as, but I certainly wrote to others that I did not wish my name to appear, as I was about to go abroad. Mr. Otarkson said that it was a pity the inquiry had gone to such a length, as he had the honour to call the complain ant his friend, haying known him from early life, and it was an unpleasant affair that he had not kept copies of the let ters which he had written to the defendants, which would show rashness on the part of a person who held a promi nent position in society, as every person allowing his name to be placed on the provisional committee list ought to know something about the concern before he permitted it. It ap peared that a Dr. M'Kenzie was deeply interested in the undertaking in question, and being called upon to pay his quota, he gave a cheque for the amount, which turned out to be of no value, which caused him to !cave the company in a huff; and he apprehended that any person connected with such a man ought tp pause before he was induced to take the present proceedings against the defendants. This person wrote to the complainant, reminding him that having served on various railway committees with him, he had taken the liberty of submitting to him a railway project with which he was concerned, and which would obtain extensive Par liamentary influence, and hoping that the complainant would allow his name to be placed on the provisiona committee. Another letter was sent to the defendant (Een dell) on October- 13, by the same person, inclosing the names of the committee, among whom was that of the complainant, although on the previous day he had written to the same [purpose, while Mr. Bevin was instructed to say that such a thing bad never been sanctioned, and he should like to know on what grounds a charge of fraud had been brought against the defendants under such extraordinary cir cumstances, unless for the maudlin propensity to cry down every project of t the kind because some were found to be faulty. The letter from the complainant to M'Kenzie stated, that had he not been confined to his bed his letter of applica tion should not have remained unanswered one hour, and ex pressed his regret that any circumstance should deprive him of the benefit of such an undertaking. Mr. Baldwin begged to make a remark in explanation. Mr. Clarkson said he had no objection, although he had already , given his evidence. Mr. Baldwin said that the project which be understood he was to lend his name to was the Shrewsbury, Chester, and Crewe, instead of the Leviathan Air-engine. • Mr. Clarkson considered that such a paltry subterfuge was no excuse, for the complainant must have known that M'Kenzie was no longer a member of the committee, and he repeated that there was no truth in his having written to the defendants to discontinue his name. Mr. IlAu. observed that the prospectus had been sent ten days previous, and before a conviction could take place under the Act, it must be proved that the defendants had acted falsely, an expression which was repeatedly used in it, and that such had:beenknowingly practised by the defendants. Mr. Clarkson said that the complainant should have made inquiries into the character of the defendants, or pro duced M'Kenzie before he adopted such proceedings against them. Mr. HALL said that the question was not had M'Kenzie abused the confidence of the complainant, but did the de fendants make use of his name against his consent ; and sup posing that M'Kenzie had acted ill, had the defendants, on that account, any grounds for holding up the name of the complainant to the public, who were, as a matter of course, anxious to obtain the names of persons of high respectabi lity It was very clear that on the 4th 31‘Kenzie wrote to the complainant, and on the 12th received an answer, that, if not too late, he might then enter his name on the list. The question then was, did the complainant give his sanc tion, and he thought that he did, for IlPKenzie handed in the paper containing other names with that of the com plainant to the defendants, which precluded them from the possibility of acting knowingly, and ought not to render them liable to the penalty. It would certainly have been more prudent to have had a letter from the complainant him self, although there could be no proof of the handwriting, unless he had recourse to it for the purpose of obtaining a conviction. Mr. Clarkson applied for costs, which were refused, and Mr. HALL, in dismissing the case, said that he was satin• fled the complainant was not sufficiently in possession of the case before he adopted the proceedings, and therefore could not be actuated by any wanton feelings towards the de fendants, whose characters he was happy to say remained untouched. CLERKEN WELL. William Harris, and his sons John and James, were charged with a daring outrage ou the police. On the previous night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, Vie prisoners were conducting themselves in a most disorderly manner. When Police• constable" Marsh 50 N interferes, he was assaulted by John Harris. The constable took hires into custody, when the other two prisoners, with a mob of brick makers, attacked him, pelted him with stones and mud, and kicked hit. Marsh sprang his rattle and ot her pohcemen came to his assistance, but such was the violence of the mob that the constables were obliged to take refuge in the Half-Moon public-house. One of the constables (Cooper) was utterly disabled, and none of them escaped uninjured. The prisoners were finally apprehended. James Harris is a desperate fellow ; he has been tried at the Old Bailey, and sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment for beating a constable, so that he was a cripple for life. The prisoners were each sentenced to one month's impri sonment, without the power of releasing themselves by the payment of a fine. WORSHIP-STREET. ABOMINABLE PROFLIGACY.—CharIes Carter, a hairdresser and perfumer, in Church-street, Hackney, was placed at the bar before Mr. Broughton for re-examination, and was com mitted for trial on a capital charge of committing a nameless crime. SOUTHIVARK. Henry Killerby, an apprentice to Mr. Lewis, printer, of Finch-lane, in the City, who has been out on bail, charged on suspicion with sending threatening letters. some of them containing poison, to several of the inhabitants of St. George's, Southwark, appeared in discharge of his sureties to answer the alleged offence. It will be recollected that in the early part of last month an application was made at this Court by the householders of St. George's parish, Southwark, relative to several anonymous letters, some of them containing oxalic acid, having been received by some of the parishioners. The letter were couched in language of the most threatening nature. A communication of a similar tendency had been transmitted by the same writer to the parish clerk of St. George's Church, urging him to give utterance to certain slanderous expressions against Miss Spriggs during divine service, and threatening to set fire to the edifice if he did not comply. These infamous epistles naturally created a very considerable sensation in the parish, and eventually the prisoner Killerby, a youth, the son of a tradesman in - White-street, near St. George's church, was taken into custody on suspicion of being the writer, When brought before Mr. Cottingham on that occasion, the pri soner's writing was compared with that of the anonymous letters, and although there was a similarity, still there was no person in attendance who could speak with confidence to the identity. In the course of the examination it trans pired that the accused was in the habit of attending in the belfry, and assisting in the ringing of the bells, and that while speaking to one of the men on the subject of the ano nymous letter received by the parish clerk, he (the prisoner) gave utterance to language which would lead to the supposi tion that he was well acquainted with the writer, and he re quested the party with whom he held the conversation not to mention the circumstance to any person. After the exami nation of numerous witnesses, the accused simply giving a denial to the charge, Mr. Cottingham remanded him for a month on bail. When the prisoner was placed at the bar yesterday, Mr. COTTINGIIAM, addressing Sergeant Kendall, of the A division, asked Iv heftier any further discovery had been made ? The sergeant replied in the ailirmitive, and said that the foreman of the prisoner's employer was in attendance, and that he was in a condition to distinguish his hand-writing with tolerable accuracy. Mr. CartiNcit.ut then directed the annonymous letters ad dressed to Miss Spriggs, Mr. humble, and Mr. Bowling, to be handed to the witness, in order to ascertain if he could speak with any degree of certainty as to the handwriting being that of the prisoner. The witness, whose name is Edward John Tyrrell, and who is forenian to Mr. Lewis, of Finch-lane, printer, having carefully examined the letters placed in his hands, stated that to the best of his knowledge and belief they were in the prisoner's handwriting. Mr. COTTINGIIA3I having informed the witness of the seri ous nature of the charge against the accused, then questioned Misr as to the peculiar characteristics by which he was en abled to speak with tolerable confidence as to the hand writing. The witness then pointed out the peculiar shape of the letters in the annonyinows letters, which bore such a striking similarity to the copy of a song recently written out by the prisoner, that induced witness to believe they were all written by one and the same person. Mr. CorrEscmut, addressing the prisoner's father, said that the case now assumed a more serious aspect than before against his son, and asked him if he had engaged any profes mortal gentleman to appear on his behalf._ _ The father said he was so convinced of his son's innocence,, that he did not consider it necessary. The MAGISTRATE inquired if there was any similarity be tween the paper on which the anonymous letters were written and that to which the prisoner was supposed to have access at his employer's warehouse ? The foreman replied in the affirmative, saying that pieces of paper, such as that on which the letters in question were written, were often lying about in the warehouse, to which the prisoner had constant access. Mr. COTTINGHA3I inquired if any more threatening letters had been sent to the same parties in the parish ? Sergeant Kendall replied that since the prisoner was taken into custody no letters of the deseription had been transmitted to any of the persons who had formerly received so many of them. The sergeant added, that a circumstance had re cently come to his knowledge, namely, that for some time m o n ey to the parishioners of St. Genres, Southwark, THE SUN, LONDOM,_ WEDN'ESDAY MORNANG. NOVEMBER 5 1845 receiving the letters inclosing poison, the prisoner was known to be in the habit of reading "Jack Sheppard," and books of a similar description, and it would be found on perusing the anonymous communications, that they contained language of a similar kind. The foreman in Mr. Lewis's employ verified the truth of the sergeant's statement, and said that he had taken " Jack Sheppard" from the prisoner in his master's warehouse. Mr. COTTINGRAM remarked that the foreman's evidence strengthened the suspicion against the prisoner, who was not bound to say anything in answer to the charge, but was at liberty to make any statement he pleased. The evidence against him, as it now stood, would render it necessary to send the case to a jury, but he should first remand the prisoner for a fortnight, and at the same time admit him to bail on finding two securities of 501. each. The Magistrate advised the prisoner's father to employ some professional gentleman on behalf of his son at the next ex amination. WAND SW ORTH. Monday, Mrs. White, a widow lady, residing at No. 30, Smith's Cottages, Lark-hall-lane, Clapham, solicited Mr. Clive's advice as to the means she should adopt to rid her self of the Reverend Mr. Forth and his family, who were occupying apartments in her house, and paying no tent. It will be remembered that the Reverend Nathaniel Forth made himself notorious come two or three years trace by being brought to this Court charged with atsaultiug his land lord, who l ai only demanded his reit*. Mrs. Smith said she applied at this Court in July last for advice, aid afterwards served a notice upon her tenant, Mr. Forth. This he paid no attention to, but continued promising to pay the applicant her rent; yet, up to this time, he had not done so, and although she had served notice on notice, she could not get him out of the house. Mr. CuvE asked what amount of money was due? The applicant stated that the defendant rented the apartments at 4s. 6d. per week, and now owed 91. ls. 6d. A wretchedly-clad woman here entered the Court, and re presented herself as Mrs. Forth. She said that her husband had every desire to pay his rent, but he had been disappointed in receiving some money. She could assure Mrs. White that she should be paid in a week. Mrs. White said she could place no reliance in her pro mises. She was a lone woman, indifferently off, and, in con sequence of Mr. Forth's owing her so much money, she also could not pay ber rent. Mr. CLIVE, addressing Mrs. Forth, said it was evident she would ultimately have to leave the house, and she had better go at once, and give Mrs. White the opportunity of letting her apartments. Mrs. Forth—We wish to pay before we go. Mr. CLIVE—And the woman wants her rooms. The Ma gistrate then observed that the applicant had better give Mr. Forth another notice, and if that was of no avail she must proceed in the usual manner. Mrs. White thanked the Magistrate, and said she would adopt his advice. MARKET NEW S .-(YESTERDAY.) MALY 1% fl.

Bonded Crushed Sugar is dull of sale, and offerel at 36s per cwt for the best. Kauntraa.—An increased desire has been manifested to purchase, sad for all descriptions there has been a very good demand tir the scale and pan; the rates given are fully equal to those previously quoted, and merchants refrain from Largely supplying the market, although the stock still exhibits an increase over that of last year. FoREIGN.—This afternoon there was no public sale of Foreign, and t 1 et private sales for the week are 40 chests of very fine yellow Havannah at 31s, and 70 chests of middling white Bahia at 27s per cwt.

The de mand for common Cinnamon was duller than has been the case for many years; the supply being greater and prices lower. FRUIT.—Of new Cheane Raisins, the first cargo arrived, there is no dispcsition to purchase, the prices required being considered too high in proportion to the value of new Valen ciao., the best parcels being sold at 40s, and a great propor tion already arrived being much out of condition, have been forced off at public sale from 38s to 395. Of new Patras Cur raLts two cargoes have arrived, and are in the market at 50s, but the grocers purchase very cautiously, expecting large arrivals.

The port et Boston affords the readiest outlet for exports fern the manufacturing districts to the north of Europe, and the importance of direct communication from the midland counties to a place se ad vantageously situate cannot be over-estimated. Leicester has, or shortly will have, direct communication with Birmingham, and all the other important towns in the midland fistrict. The Midland Railway Company is extending the communication to Melton Mowbray, by means of its branch ftom Syston to Peter borough, which passes through that place. There is also a couplets line of railway about to he established from lsiottinghana, through Grantham and Folkingham, to Boston, as well as to Spalding, Nis beach, Lyna Yarmouth, and other important towns in the cuter counties. _ _ _ The Leicester, Melton Mowbray, and Boston Direct rnion Rail way, by forming a line from Melton Mowbray to Folkinghans, will supply the only link wanting to complete a direct through communi cation from Birmingham, Warwick, Worces'er, Coventry, and the manufacturing districts generally, to Boston, as well as by means of existing and projected railways from Wales and the Bristol Channel, to that seaport. The length of the proposed line will sot exceed twenty-six miles ; and as it will pass through a country very favourable for engineer ing purposes, the expense of construction will, it is expected, be less than the usual average. The admirable position of this railway can not fail, it is confidently expected, to command a large return, both in passengers and in goads traffic. The Company will be in a situation to deposit the Parliamentary plans and sections in ample time for complying with the stanging orders, and enabling them to apply for their Act in the ensuing session. • _ _ _ Applications for shares to be addressed to the solicitors, Mews.

This line is intended as a connecting link between the Trent Valley and Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Junction Rail ways. It will commence at Stafford, and terminate at Market Drayton, and is essentially requisite to perfect the communication between London, Chester, and Holyhead. Though the line will not exceed thirteen miles in length, it will afford immense accommodation to an important distil, t of Stafford shire and Shropshire, through which it will pass; and by means of the lines with which it is intended to communicate, it will effect the shortest possible route from London to Liverpool, from London to Birkenhead, and from London to Ireland. A saving of sot less than thirty miles will thus be accomplished. It will thus become a most important adjunct to the proposed Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Junction Railway; but the prominent feature in the scheme is this—that by bringing Stafford into immediate conjunction with Market Drayton and Chester, all the advantages of the proposed Trent Valley Continua tion Line to Holyhead, will be realised without the enormous sacrifice of time and capital inseparable from the carrying out of such a project, which, however, is impracticable. It is obvious that such a scheme will be of the utmost general benefit, as it will materially shorten the distance between the capitals of Englsnd and Ireland, and tend to a still further development of the great industrial resources of the two countries. As an investment, its eligibility cannot be disputed, as the following lines of railway will be important tributaries to its revenue:—The London and Binning ham, Trent Valley, Great Western, Birmingham, Oxford and Brighton, Birmingham an I Southampton, Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Dudley and Wolverhampton, Ilir• mingham, Bristol, and Gloucester, and Grand Junction Railways. The lines in the vicinity of Liverpool will also become valuable tribu taries to it. Although this line is proposed by a Company distinct from that of the Wolverhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Junction Railway, yet, if it should he found expedient and practicable, the two Companies may be amalgamated. At all events, the shareholders in the Wol verhampton, Chester, and Birkenhead Company, will have the pre ference in the allotmeut. It is intended to proceed to Parliament in the ensiling session, as the plans and surveys are in a very forward state. FORM OF APPLICATION FOR SHARES.
