MEETING OF THE LONDON AND BRIGHTON, AND LONDON AND CROYDON RAILWAY PROPRIETORS. The CuAiumAN(in continuation from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday) said— That, therefore, would effect the entire object he contemplated ; yet, not entirely, for it was also intended to ask them to sign a requisition calling a pro perly constituted meeting of the Proprietors of the respective Companies, for the purpose of instructing and authorising their Directors to carry out their views. That is now rendered unnecessary by the Brighton Com pany calling a meeting of their Proprietors, to authorise them to carry out their own views. With respect to the Croydon Proprietors, they are unanimously of opinion that an amalgamation of the two Companies is desirable, and they are equally unanimous as to the course of policy to be pursued, and in this the Directors and Proprietors act harmoniously one with the other. It could, therefore, be no fault of the Brighton Proprietors tbarneelvee that this amalgamation should not be fully settled. Some individuals would, be might venture to say, give anything in the world to alter the arrangement which had been entered into between the Companies, bat he could not see that the general body of Proprie tors would, merely to please the Directors, concur in - views which would be diametrically opposed to their own interests.—(Hear, hear.) He could not, therefore, see any reason why the amalgamation should not go on, for if no one of these gentlemen had a fault to find with the Croydon Company, he could not think that they were bound to support their Directors in a course in every way opposed to the Croydon Company, and inimical 'to the interests of its Proprietors. The Brighton Prqprietors were not like the Directors, pledged to a particular policy, and, therefore, they were as anxious as he was for the amalgamation of the Companies. Now they, the Proprietors and Directors of the Croydon Rail way. found themselves in this position. They differed from the Brighton Directors on two points. First of all, they is insisted on meeting the Directors of the Brighton Com pany in equal numbers. They (the Croydon Directors) were but six—the Brighton were ten; and, under these cir cumstances, on any disputed point, the majority of votes would give the whole management of the amalgamation to the other . Company. The Proprietors, he conceived, intended that the terms of the amalgamation should be settled in a fair and equitable manner by the two par ties; and this inequality of numbers, if persisted in, would be an insuperable barrier in the way of all arrangement. If this were a mere squabble about directional power, he should be ashamed to make any allusions to it, but it was not so. They were prepared, on the contrary, to render up their power into the hands of the Brighton Directors, if required, as soon as the amalgamation was completed and the terms agreed on. There was another very im nortant point to which he must direct the attention of the Proprietors, and on which they were at issue with the Brighton Directors. They (the Croydon Company) had asked to see all engagements formed by the Brighton with other Companies. They had already known of one such, of a certain character, which had taken place be tween the Brighton and the South-Western. The Brighton Company said, " There it is, but you can only see it on condition that you make use of it." Now they Contended, that as partners, they had a perfect right to see all their agreements with other par. ties ; and now he would show them how they had got into this position with the other Company. But, first, ho would just hint at another very important point with regard to the arrangement of equal numbers from each Directory. They made no claim to meet the Brighton Company in equal numbers after the amalea matihn was completed, but in the meantime they wished to fully preserve the rights of the Company.—(Hear, hear.) True, the Brighton Company said that their capital was 3,000,0001., while theirs (the Croydon) was only 1,000,0001. They at once concluded that it was so, but they persisted in an equality of numbers until the amalgamation was agreed upon. They would afterwards propose that the Directories should respectflilly resign, and let the joint Proprietors choose some six or seven gentlemen to manage the affairs of the joint Companies. They must understand that important matters were to be brought before Parliament, and it was essential that these arrangements should be com pleted before that time. They could not consent to place the interests of the Croydon Proprietors in jeopardy by any act of their own, and thus it was that, they insisted on an equal number of votes while arranging the terms of amalgamation. The Proprie tors could afterwards choose for themselves who should mana,ge - their affairs; and now he would proceed. He Was sorry to detain them so long, but it was absolutely necessary that all the circumstances should be detailed to them. He would show them by the correspondence that had taken place between the Directors on either side how the matter had progressed, and what was the present state of affairs. They might remember that this amalgamation was first proposed by the Brighton Company and not by the Croydon. He found, by a minute of the 17th September, that Mr. Peter Clarke had sought and obtained an interview with him upon the subject, and subsequently Mr. Baines, Mr. Crowley, and himself met Mr. Clarke, and proposed the amalgamation for the sake of facilitating the passing of the Portsmouth Bill in the next session of Parliament. The Portsmouth Bill they bad made up their minds was essential to the prosperity of the Croydon Company. They had several negotiations with Mr. Clarke. After that, with the view of coming to some arrange ment with the South-Western Company, he in some three or four days after said, "I cannot make anything out of the South-Western people ; Ifind them.quite un manageable." We then proposed the amalgamation. He afterwards received a letter on the 9th October con taining a remarkable paragraph, to which he would afterwards allude. And here he could not help complaining of something like a want of sincerity on the part of the London and Brighton Company in the course eof this treaty. He did not wish to charge them with insincerity, but he believed the fact to be, that while one portion of the Directors was in favour of the amalgamation, another portion was opposed to it. This indecision, therefore, gave an appearance of insincerity to their deliberations. The paragraph to which he had alluded was this—" I am instructed to inform you that, in any case, it is the intention of this Board to apply to Parliament for the Wandsworth branch." Now, it would be remembered that this branch to Wands worth was peculiarly injurious to the Croydon Company, and of little use to the Brighton, if amalgamated with that Company. This paragraph, then, appeared to him - to be what was called in law " impertinent" to the subject. It was, however, determined that three Di• rectors from the Croydon Company should meet three from the Brighton Railway, to conclude an arrangement. After this various negotiations went on from time to time, as to the terms of the amalga mation. It was then the opinion of Mr. Clarke that it was better to avoid all details, and to stick to the precise terms of the amalgamation, and we acted upon this opinion. On the 23d of October the following paper was subscribed by Mr. Hill and himself, which resulted in a general meeting of the Proprietors of the respective Companies ; It was then agreed upon gene rally that every 50/. sh`are of the Brighton Company shoutl rank as 501, arid every 201. share of the Croydon Come . , any as ieL los., and that the details should be settled Iv three members from each Board. The first meeting of these gentlemen took place on the 27th Octobe - A., At that meeting discussions arose on the variona matters which were brought before them, and a c e rtai n minute was made, which "wee afterwards cancelled, because it was misunderstood by bath parties, A second meeting was held on tho 22 th October , and a discussi on of some three hours" length arose, but nothing resulted from it. It became evident that the Chairman of the Brighton Company would be outvoted, and as it was getting late, Mr. Hill moved an adjournments, which was carried. When the adjournment was carried the meeting of er a wee broke up. Mr. Hill then said that he thought it bis duty to state his intention of applying to the Board , of Directors to be released from this difficult duty. He was against the amalgamation, and considered, therefore, that he was not the very best person to conduct the negotiation, Now, with every respect for Mr. Hill, he (Mr. Wilkinson) thought the same thing. The conviction, had long forced itself on his mind that they could get on better without him. On the 'Saturday following, to their great surprise, Mr. Hill teens back to us and said that his Board had de clined relieving him from the onerous duty he had com w,enced. Accordingly they again set to work as at first, 'and Mr. Hill asked what proposition they had to make, and, on their replying in the negative, he proposed that the amalgamation and the question of the Wandsworth branch should be referred to a joint committee, com posed of an equal number of members of each Board of Directors, who should report to the two Boards, and that each Board should continue as usual to regulate all matters connected with the conducting of the railways. He (Mr. Wilkinson) moved an amendment to that pro -sition, and his motion was seconded by Mr. Roberts. What amendment proposed that the interests of the two companies, should' be amalgamated from the 31st of January, 1846 ; and that until the Act of Amalgama tion should be passed. the arrangements connected with it should be conducted by a committee of twelve, con ' misting of six members from each Board. On this motion the votes of the parties present were taken, and three Croydon Directors voted in favour of it, and two Brighten Directors against it. The solicitors of the two Companies were present, and Mr. Faithful, the solicitor to the Brighton Company, then said t hat they had nothing farth er to do than to make a report of their Proceedings, 'as the consideration of all .other questions would be left to the joint corn wilt tee. The Bright on gentlemen who were present on that occasion lau g h e d , and remarked that though the Croy den Directors might easily choose their six Direc tors for the joint cuinraitt e would find some difficult the Brighton Directors y e li d l y c e y .i t io( i ) :i sing their delegates. On the evening of that s (Mr. Wilkinson) received a letter from the Bria ghton e as tr n eta t z, inclosing a minute of some resolutions, and six members Directors to make an early c hoice of theirg for the joint committee. In consideration of that request, the Croydon Board met on the following W e d. nesday„and appointed six of their body. T he Theythen sent a lefror to the Brighton Secretary, saying that they had made their choice of six members to form part in the joint committee, and requesting to be apprised of the names of the Directors delegated by the Croydon Company. This was on the sth, and the two Companies were to meet on the 6th. O n the afternoon of the sth he was sent for suddenly, and was told that the Brighton Board wished to see him. On getting to the board-room he saw Messrs. Baynes and Roberta outside; they went into the board-room together, and were informed that the board had been considering the resolutions that the Committee had come to, and they had found that they were illegal and could not be carried. He replied that he did not see that those reso r:isirs were illegal, and on e o f th e m embers er e :d le rather sharpy, that the chairman had a from the chair that they were illegal, and that therefore their illegality could not be disputed ( Wilki could be found many nson) had no doubt that th ere members of Loth Boards who would not admit the princip le of such an a sser ti o n. This. wax) the seoowl instance of the insincerity of the Brigh- Directors. Now that they were in the very position of being about to amalgamate with the line from London to Epsom, they would depart from that line, and cut them selves off from a 'traffic of 30,0001. Under these cir cumstances he could not conceive how the Brighton Company could entertain for a moment the thought of entering into such an injudicious arrange ment. Besides, if they permitted the South-Western to come down so far, they would;cut off all traffic from Chi chester for the Brighton line Moreover, they should be prompted to secure their line by a line to South ampton. This line, which was to be carried out with the line from Southampton to Petersfield, would have the effect of making the South-Western depend on the western traffic, for which it was originally designed. The Brighton Company, by pursuing their present po licy, would be promoting hostile lines, for it was stated that they were bouud by the terms to keep within ten miles west of this line, and could not go further from Horsham. This being the case, he felt bound to consider that the Directors of the Brighton line did not seem qualified to judge of their own affairs. Having heard that statement laid before them, he con sidered that they were now entitled to go before their Proprietors to make such arrangements as they might deem advisable. They (the Directors) did not ask their permission to see the agreement, for no such power was vested in them, but they should ask the Brighton Pro prietors, and they had little doubt that on this, as on the question respecting the numbers on each side, they would give a favourable answer. A clergyman had bought some shares in the Croydon line in consequence of the resolution that had been agreed to. Now, in all probabi lity, others had bought shares on the same grounds ; therefore he conceived, that even in the event of the Directors of the Brighton line not returning a favourable answer, they should not rescind that resolution. He would attend at the meet ing of the Directors of the Brighton line, and even if they came to an adverse resolution, they would not desert the interests of the Croydom Company, nor retire from their posts till the amalgamation had taken place, when they would relinquish their trust. If, on the other hand, the Directors of the Brighton line should accede to their views, they would be ready to give them their strenuous assistance. He would now re commend that the meeting should adjourn, as the most advisable course. ton Board, and he could not help thinking that it was an excuse to get off from the amalgamation. They would not have raised these trifling objections if they had any wish that the measure should be carried. Some discussion took place, during which he observed two gentlemen take up their hats and leave the room, and these gentlemen happened to be both in favour of the amalgamation ; and it appeared to him that this might be in consequence of the vaccilatioa of the Board, which was sometimes partly in favour of the amalgamation and partly against it. After they had gone he asked the chairman whether some way could not be devised by which their proceedings could be done legally. He felt very much inclined to take up his hat and go away, but he did not do so, as he was very anxious to come to some terms, and that considera tion alone induced him to remain. The Brighton Directors then proposed some terms nearly the same as those offered to them by the Croydon Company. They proposed that until the 31st of January, 1846, the management of each Company should be by their Directors as usual ; that the joint com mittee should be composed of five members of each Board, and that the chairman should have the casting vote. That such Committee should have the entire ma nagement of the Bill for the amalgamation, and that all other matters, except some which were mentioned then, should be referred to the other Directors. He took these resolutions to Mr. Burchell, the solicitor to the Croydon Company, the Board of the Brighton Company having adjourned for a time to allow him an opportunity of doing so. That gentleman found that the propositions were adverse to the interests of the Croydon Company, and he then went back to the Board and declared that they could not agree to them. He asked the Board what they would have done if they had not met: him that afternoon, and remarked that any proceedings then going forward could not be Legal, as they had received no authority. They then had' some discussion about the agreement made between the Brighton Company and the South-Eastern Company, and he asked to be allowed to see that agreement. After some hesitation the paper was sent for, and when the Chairman had it, he said that he could not see it unless he promised not to make any public use of it. He (Mr. Wilkinson) said that it was necessary for him to make use of it, that he thought it would be beneficial to the Croydon Company, and the Chairman declined to show it under these circumstances. He had determined to put, these facts under the consideration of the Croy don Proprietors the following day, but on the following morning he received a letter from the Brighton Board, saying again that the course proposed by the Croydon Company was illegal, and sub mitting to the consideration of the Croydon Company the resolutions which he had declined accepting on the preiious day. He still thought, however, that they might have some wish to come to terms on the question, aud, therefore, seat them a letter, saying that they could not agree to the proposition sent, but would be glad to make some other arrangement, if possible. At a meet ing of the Brighton Board, which occurred some time back, the Chairman, in speaking of the amalgamation of the Companies, remarked, that the subject had been discussed by their Board before, and it seemed to them that the project would have a beneficial result if carried into effect- The question was again revived, and they did not know what the Croydon Company had done to promote its attainment, but they had done all that lay in their power ; and he (Mr. Wilkinson) was coming to a resolution which he would show, and to which he wished to remark that he heartily subscribed, viz., " That amalgamation, as a general principle, was beneficial, and that there could be only one opinion with regard to it." After that meeting he saw an advertise me it in the papers, proposing, on the part of the Brighton Board, to rescind all that had been done with a view of bringing about an amalgamation. At another meeting Sir Isaac Goldsmid asked what was the gross revenue of the Croydon Company, in order that they might know what addition they could make to the general funds in case of an amalgamation, and Mr. Peter Clarke was about to answer the ques tion, and, in fact, begged to be allowed to do so. That gentleman afterwards gave it as his opinion that amalgamation would undoubtedly be beneficial to the interest of the Companies, and would reduce the working expenditure so much as to give an increased dividend. He stated that he had gone over the subject with Sir G. Euston, and had come to that conclusion after careful calculation. He also gave it as his opi nion, that if the line to Portsmouth were made, it , would materially increase the traffic of the Croydon Railway, and under the impression that that line was to be formed, Sir George Euston had evidently voted at that meeting, and so had many others who had voted at that time. After that meeting some time elapsed without anything being done, and it seemed that both parties were taking a little time to cool, after being somewhat heated in the discussion of the question. He (Mr. Wilkinson) at length thought that an interview with the Brighton Board was desirable, as he had heard that they had entered into an agreement with the South-Eastern Company, which hindered them from giving any support to the Portsmouth line. That agreement had been read at a public meeting, but was now denied to them, and the great mystery was then in their possession, but sealed up. He again proposed to meet the Directors of the Brighton Board, as he did not wish that trifles should interfere with the important object he had in view, and asked for a conference on the 17th. At the meeting, which took place on that date, all the differences be tween the Companies was set forth by him, and he seemed on that occasion to have given some offence to the Brighton Board. He could not, however, connect that in any way with their disinclination to join heartily in the Croydon Company's efforts for the amalgamation of the two Companies, as a question of so great moment as the one then before them could not, he thought, be interfered with, in consequence of any offence taken by parties ; and he therefore was desirous of knowing the reason of the Brighton Company wishing to rescind the arrangements they had already made. He thought he was authorised to ask, on the part of the Croydon Company, for a sight of i lbe agreement, and he did so then, but was refused. At at meeting, however, he elicited the fact that there was something in that agreement that pre cluded them from joining with the Croydon Company, and that, therefore, it would be very difficult to persuade them of the propriety of an amalgamation, as, however convinced they might be of any benefit it would be, tLey were unable to join in it. He asked them to 'put the matter before the Proprietors, but they declinA, saying that their Proprietors could not interfere, between them and their consciences. That interview termi na t e d with put any conclusion being come t 9 on either tid e . I n the course of the conversation ; 'dowever, they were asked :as of overcomin g the difficulty.. if they could devise any Ines He (Mr. W.) proposed to take their proposition into the next room, and, see if it could be altered in any way, so as to suit eitt,er party. He left th e t wo fi rst pare graphs unalt ere d, but on the third h e p ro p ose d t h a t, in stead of FAre Directors from each Company to form the joint committee, there should be six, and there were o *.ner alterations made which he thought would suit both parties. He sent them that proposition, and re ceived no answer for three days. On the 20th both Boards met, and he sent a letter to the Brighton Board, asking them for an answer to his propositions. Their reply was, that they could not agree to them, out they were at that time engaged in ,framing other proposals, which they would shortly submit to the consideration of the Croydon Board. We likewise wrote to them for a copy of the agreement, which we received, with a letter from Mr. Buckton, stating that it had been forwarded to him without any intimation having been given of the same to the South-Western Company, and that it should not be used by them without the consent of the Brighton Company. Now there was the agreement (the Chair man here held up the document in question), and they had never broken the seal. They had been advised by their solicitor, Mr. Burchell, to open that agreement, who contended that they were bound by the position they occupied to make themselves acquainted with its contents, and also to inform the Proprietors of the same. Mr. Burchell had been requested to wait on them (the Directors of the Brighton Company), but he re turned, stating that he could make nothing of them. However, shortly after, they received a letter from the Brighton Company to the effect that they conceived it to be their duty to protest most strongly against the advice given by Mr. Burchell. We replied to this epistle, stating that we had a right to the unqualified inspection of the document, and that they would take measures to effect that object if they did not hear from them by the following Monday. The Chairman then read a reply to this letter, to a similar effect as the preowline, and requesting to know if their sentiments were in unison with the advice of their solicitor. In the early part of November they received a letter from Mr. Buckton (which the Chairman read), to the effect that they could not concur in the proposition which they (the Croydon Company) had made of calling a meeting of the Proprietors, and denouncing strongly what they desig nated the threat4and intimidation put out by them (the Croydon Company), and refusing to act any longer with them if the demand were persisted in, and that they were prepared to vindicate the part they had taken. To' this we sent the following answer.—(Here the Chair man read the letter, which deplored the tenor of these communications, and expressed a strong desire to keep on the most amicable terms with the Directors of the Brighton Company.) A Gentleman here requested that the letter which gave rise to these remarks should be read. The CHAIRMAN—It has not been left out. On the 27th a letter was received from Mr. Buckton, regretting the course that had been adopted by the Croydon Company, and refusing to continue this correspondence. Now they were at issue with the Company on these two points —first, the right to inspect the document in question; and, secondly, as to the meeting of those gentlemen in equal numbers. Now, with respect to the first point, he wished to obtain their most earliest attention. He found in the report of the meeting that had taken place of the Direc tors of the Brighton Company, that the agreement was merely mentioned as having been concurred in, and that a resolution was proposed to the effect that the same should be confirmed. However, this resolu tion was met with some opposition, for he found that Mr. Henderson, who pointed out the dangers, as he considered, that were threatened them by the South-Western. Now what was the case? If this line from Epsom to Croydon, whi c h was : con t em pl ate d, were to come to Dorking, it must of course injure their line. T he Brighton line had sent down a hundred pounds towards the completion of the Dorking line, notwithstandin g w h at had taken place. The object of the agreement was to change the traffic of the Ports mouth line. Nov, that this feeling was entertained by other me o m f members of that b hat weonulettatendy that was Chia evincedoonnebxyi connexion op position th the South-Western would lead to inex tri ca ble confusion. An amendment had been proposed totheresoltio the effect that the adoption of th e Guildford, Ports mouth, and Chichester line, which was proposed, would entirely deprive them of the other line. It was alleged against them (the Directors of t h e Croy don Company) that they were sustaining the Portsmouth interests because they were Croydon Mr. GALE could not, for one, acquiesce in the sugges tion of the Chairman, that the amalgamation of the Brighton and Croydon Companies was of little use unless the interests of the Proprietors of the Direct Portsmouth were consulted. Ile had become a proprietor of Croydon shares on the faith of the resolution of amalgamation that had been come to; he had done more, he had actually changed Brighton shares for Croydon ones. Now he, for one, could not sacrifice the benefits of amalgamation for the interests of the Direct Portsmouth. The CHAIRMAN said that the Hon. Proprietor had entirely mistaken his meaning; he had never said that amalgamation had better not take place between the two lines, if the interest of the Direct Portsmouth was not to be considered. Mr. GALE said he had certainly understood the Chairman to my so. It was not, in his opinion, for the meeting to say whether the policy of the Croydon Directors or that of the Brighton should be adopted before the amalgamation took place, considering that amalgamation should take place first. He thought that until the agreement of amalgamation had been concluded, each party ought to have a voice as to the details.—(Hear, hear.) He considered that amal gamation with the Brighton line was of far greater importance to the Croydon Proprietors than the toll that would be received by them from the Direct Portsmouth line, which, it must be remembered, was only,a line in perspective and not in ease. It was clear to him that something like angry feeling had existed among the Directors of the two Companies. No one could doubt, as he had before stated, that it was for the interest of the Proprietors that an amal gamation should take place, and if the Directors could not agree as to the manner in which that should take place, it became one duty of the Proprietors to look to the matter themselves.—(Hear, hear.) He thought the best course to adopt would be to appoint a certain number of Proprietors of each Company to form a committee to meet together and consider what course would be best to be pursued for the interests of all, n gentleman being a Proprietor in the Direct Portsmouth line to be a member of the committee.—(Hear, hear.) He believed, looking at all that had taken place, that the question of the amalgamation of the Brighton alici„ Croydon lines was valued by the public at something, like 200,000L—(Hear, hear.) There could be no doubt that errors had been committed on both sides in the negotiations that had taken place between the Directors, and that it was for the interest of all as soon as possible to get a united Board of Directors.— (Hear, hear.) He thought it was absurd to state that the amalgamation was complete. The CHAIRMAN had never stated that the amalga mation was complete ; all he had :aid was, that he con sidered it so. He admitted that there was a difference between the two words, and it lay with the Proprietors to say who were right and who were wrong. As he had before said, he was willing, if the Proprietors decided against his opinion, to make way for others.— ( Hear, hear.) Let, however, the Proprietors meet and decide between the two conflicting opinions which Were the best calcu lated for their own interests.—(Hear, hear.) He agreed with the worthy Proprietors that the best course would he to appoint a committee of Proprietors from each Company to meet the Directors of both Companies.— ((fear, hear.) Such a resolution could not be adopted by the present meeting, but he trusted it would be at the one to be held by the Brighton Company. It was his intention to attend that meeting, and such a proposition should have his hearty support. Mr. WILKINSON considered the amalgamation of the two lines of the greatest value to them both, but as it was clear that that meeting could do nothing effi ciently, he should move that it adjourn. Mr. CASH did not see why, if a committee of Proprietors was to be formed, the Proprietors of the Portsmonth Company should not form part of it.— (Hear, hear.) Ile hoped, however, that the Directors of both the Croydon and Brighton Companies would be ablt, to manage the matter in dispute among themselves. —(Hear, hear.) He for one should be happy to see a union of all the Companies—the South-Western, the Brighton, and the Croydon.—(Hear, hear.) He did not think that was an impossibility, although he was read to admit there were great difficulties in the way.—(Hear.) Mr. LEVY hoped that the present discussion would be now put an end to, and that an amicable arrangement would be made among all parties.—(Hear, hear.) For that purpose he would now move that the meeting should adjourn for a fortnight.—(Hear, hear.) After some further discussion the meeting broke up, no motion being put either for its adjournment sine die or for any particular day, it being admitted on all hands that such a motion, at a meeting so called, would be en tirely useless, and have no weight. again, and he was placed in the main hatch in double irons. In about half or three-quarters of an hour he was again called down, and the captain cut him with the cutlass. He was then sent on deck again. He was called on several times that evening, and was cut at by the captain whilst in handcuffs. His hands were cut in pieces. I saw the joints hanging down, and the bones of the small finger sticking out. In the middle watch that night I was sent by the captain to the car penter to tell him to put the best bower anchor shackle round his neck. The carpenter put it on, and Mars complained that his neck was so sore he could not bear it. Mars was called down several times that morning, and I saw the captain continually heaving a sword at him. Whilst the captain was at dinner I came down into the cabin, and heard Mars groaning in it. I heard the captain tell Julian Cordiavello to prick him and make him stand up, and I heard a sword come darting against the cabin door. I heard the captain say "He would cut him up in inches." The cabin door was then open, and I saw Mars lying as if dead. The captain sent for some of the crew to get a rope's-end, and haul him up out of the cabin, and told them to squeeze him; that if they did not he would have their lives. Mars was taken to the main hatchway. A strand of the rope was put round his body, but whether the men hove on it or not I cannot say. He asked for a drink of water, and he was given one, when a worm came out of his throat. I went down to the cabin again. Shortly after one of the men came and told the captain that Mars was dead. He was then sewn up in canvass, and taken to the gangway. I read the prayers over him. Franklin Tucker deposed as follows respecting the death of Mars :—I was called down into the cabin along with James Blackden, when the captain, pointing at Mars, who was lying on the floor, said, " Look at the brute; see what tie has brought on himself ; take him up on deck out of my sight." I went to take hold of him with 'my hands, when the captain said, " Don't touch him with your hands; go and get a rope and haul him up on deck." We did so, when he said, " Take him up and squeeze hint well. If you don't squeeze him I'll squeeze you." He sent Julian Cordiavello to see that we did it. We took the strand, and put it round his loins. We hove upon it, and called on James Blackden to do the same. He (lid so. I then went and put my hand upon his face, and found that he was dead. I covered his face over with a piece of canvass, and went below and told the captain that Mr. Mars was dead. He said "Did you squeeze him well ? " I answered, " Yes, sir." I said to the captain, " Shall I take his irons off ? " He said, "Yes." I went on deck, and took the irons off; then Dunn went and brought some canvas and shot, when David Johnson and James Blackden sewed him up. We then buried him. I examined his body, and discovered several wounds. I cannot say how many wounds he had, for his body was cut all to pieces. —(A general thrill of horror ran through the Court at this announcement.) There was hardly an inch but what had a wound upon it. David Johnson next examined regarding Mars—On leaving Fayal I was called down into the cabin. Thos. Reason, Mr. Mars, and I were down together. I was cut up in such a manner by the captain, that I had to keep my bed. I had wounds on my head, hands, and shoulders. They told me that Mars was taken a prisoner and to bo . placed in irons. I saw him in irons on deck next day. I was afterwards in the cabin when the captain called for a strand and heaver, to put it round my neck. He got it, and put it round my neck, heaving it till I was almost dead. He then ordered me to be put in irons, saying I was im plicated in this matter about Mars. The latter was present, sitting on an empty spirit cask. French then asked the captain to give him his sword. He took the sword and went on deck to the grindstone to straighten the point, it being bent. French, when he fetched the sword back again, said, " This was the sword with the straight point on it." The captain took the sword and struck Mars over the head, when the blood began to flow very freely. I was then ordered to go ,on deck and mind my duty. Mars after this was so disabled ho could not walk. Next day he was carried down. I was on the top-gallant forecastle when I saw the body hauled along by four or five of the crew, and the clothes he had on were a com pleW clot ,of blood. I could not tell what colour they were of. Julian called me to come aft, and we took the body and placed it in the main hatchway. He told me it was the captain's orders to have him there. The bones of the fingers were sticking out, and several of the fingers were hanging by the skin. A finger could ,hovedot I been laid on his head or breast for -bundle; Julian again came, and said the captain's orders were that if we did not pull the strand tight round Mars, we should all be killed. Julian Slack, and French were armed when they gave the message. The strand was then pulled tight round the waist of Mars, who was to all appearance dead, though there was breath still in him. MURDER ON THE HIGH SEAS* • THAMES POLICE COURT. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Julian Cordiavello re-called and examined regarding Mars.—l was several times in the cabin when Mars Nflis ordered down. The captain struck and pricked him with the sword repeatedly. I was in the cabin on the last occasion, which was about the time the captain was taking his dinner. The captain sent for Mars by the boy or some one else ; he could not exactly recollect. Mars came down below. The captain, the carpenter, Mr. Spence, and Harry Slack were in the cabin. The captain used him very bad. He struck him with the sword and blackguarded him. He was bleeding very much at the time, and almost dead. His hands were in irons. He was cut on the face, the breast, and other parts of the body. The flesh was in many places torn from his bones. I called him Mr. Mars on account of his being an officer, but the captain ordered me and the other not to call him Mr. Mars, but only Mars. The captain told me and the boy not to lift him with the hand, but only to prick him with the bayonet, and make him stand up. The captain then said to me and Harry Slack, " Are you not able to make him stand? if not, mak) fast somewhere or other, and pull him up." There was a click that run into the deck, so the captain told us to make fast to it. We hesitated, when the captain threatened dot if we did not do so we should be punished. We pulled Reason up, when the captain began cutting at him as if he was a porpoise. He used a cutlass, and sometimes cut at Reason, at other times threw it at him, ordering me and the boy to bring it hack to him each time as it fell on the floor. After a little the captain said, " Take that brute on deck." At this time Reason was in a very bad state, being nearly dead. He was not able to come up himself on deck, so the captain ordered us to take a rope's-end and raise him up on deck. The captain said to me, " Why don't you arm yourself; go and call all hands on deck to squeeze that brute rascal, or else I shall squeeze somebody else." The captain said further, " Tell the man to squeeze him, but do not touch him yourself." I had the bayonet in my hand at the time, but did not touch him. After Mars was raised on deck I was called back to the cabin, and asked by the captain " If the man had sqneesed him ?" Answered, "I do not know, sir." Barry, Yelverton was standing by with a pistol in is hand. He went on deck, and immediately after he came back and said to the captain, " Mars is dead." The captain said "Single twine is enough for him, don't waste it." I un derstood the twine was to sew him up. When Mars was F on deck he asked the men for a drink of water before they began to squeeze him. This is all I know. William Dun examined respecting Mars—Before the death of Mars I was down in the cabin several times after the captain called him. I was in the cabin the first night after the ship left Fayal. Mars was called down, but I do not recollect the words said to him. The captain struck him with a cutlass and cut his face. He then told him to jump out of the cabin window. Mars said he could not. He was then sent out of the cabin. He was sent for shortly after, and the captain again cut him severely with the cutlass. The first cut was on the face, right across the whiskers. He was then sent into the forecastle, and the captain came on deck with his cutlass in his hand. He shortly after came down again and went to bed. He sent for Mars again next morn ing, before breakfast. In the afternoon I went down again, and saw Mars in handcuffs. The captain called him several times that evening and cut him. I do not recollect whether or not the captain went to bed that night. The captain sent for him the next afternoon, when he asked for the handcuffs to be taken off. The captain told the carpenter to take them off. The cap tain then took him into his own cabin. I heard a great noise in the captain's cabin, and heard Mars breathing strongly, as if he were strangling. I heard a great noise in the cabin again, and heard the captain tell him to jump out of the window. Mars said, " He could not ; he wished to be tried by the laws of his own country." The captain said, " They would have board of ship law." The captain then brought him, out of his cabin. Mars was then covered with blood, - and'-could scarcely speak. The handcuffs were then put on him Stephen Cone, deposed—The last time I was in the cabin before the death of Mars, I saw the captain strike Mars several times with a sword, and cut off a piece of flesh of about the size of my hand up to the middle finger. I saw also the captain stab him in several places about the body with his cutlass. Mars had handcuffs on hint at the time. Thomas Gair examined—l saw on several occasions the , captain strike at Mars with a cutlass. I saw him do so the night previous to his death. James Christopher Evans said—l am inspector of the Thames police. I went on board the ship Tory the 11th November. I saw Captain Johnstone in the cabin. I told him I was inspector of police, and that I understood he had some men confined that he wished to give in charge for mutiny. He said, " Yes, I have." I inquired, " How many have you got ?" He replied, "Take the whole of them." I said I understood there were only nine or ten. His answer was, " They are all , more or less concerned; take the whole of them." I went on deck, and went into the half-deck. Saw thirteen men lying about. I went to the forecastle and found font. men. I had them all brought on deck, and called Captain Johnstone up. I asked if he gave in charge all these men, and he said " I do." I asked him what he charged them with, and he replied, " Piracy and mur der." We took them to the station, and Captain John stone came and signed the. sheet charging them with piracy and murder on the high seas. I found the men in a very bad condition. Several of them werecut about the head, had clots of blood on them, and appeared to have had gunpowder burnt upon their faces. One man had his ear cut in two. I examined the cabin and found a great number of deep cuts in the partitions and beams. They were such cuts as would be produced by a cutlass. On the 17th I took Captain Johnstone, the prisoner, into custody, and at the station I said, " Captain Johnstone, it is my duty to tell you you are charged with the murder of Mars and Reason. fle said, " I deny it." I continued, " You may say what you like, but what you say I shall haste to give in evidence against you." He said, " I did ndt kill Mars; I struck him, but I did not murder him. The last words Mars said to me going out of the cabin were, Let me be taken home and tried and hung by the laws of my country.' This is all I know." Croso-examined by Mr. Humphries—l went to Black wall to take the men at the instance of Messrs. Clarkson and Maynard. The men were examined next day after being taken. After that examination they were re manded till the 17th I took Capt. Johnstone into cus tody on the 18th. The men were discharged on the 17th, without Capt. Johnstone being present or any fur ther evidence being taken. The depositions taken were then read over, and severally signed by the witnesses. Air. Humphries then asked for the depositions of the men which had been taken on the voyage home, and re ferred to in the previous examination. The depositions were t h en read, and set forth in sub stunce that William Rambert had been detected in a mutinous conspiracy—that he used endeavours to gain the deponents over to his side, but failing in that he had thrown himself overboard. The object of Rambert was stated to be to throw the captain overboard, and take the ship to the West Indies. William Mars was re presented to be inculpated in the attempt to mutiny. I Mr. Humphries then applied for access to the log book and other documents, which bad been placed in the possession of the Court, for the take of the prisoner's defence. Mr. BRODERIP said he apprehended there would be no objection to that course. Mr. Simmons, the clerk, said if Mr. Humphries ap plied to him he should have wh at he required, only he oould not allow the document s to g o out of his possession. Mr. Humphries said he was satisfied. As there are other chargesto be pr e f erre d aga i nst t h e prisoner, Mr. BRODERIP adjourned the further examina tion till to-morrow. MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

STREET ROBBERY.—Ann Callaghan, aged 22, stood in dicted for feloniously stealing from the person of Mr. Thomas Walkins a valuable silver watch, his property. The prosecutor stated that on the night of the 18th of the last month, between the hours of ten and eleven o'clock, while passing along the Borough-road, he was accosted by the prisoner, who followed him to the Surrey Theatre, when she came in front of him, and giving a sort of twich round close to his person, ran away and joined a man, who stood about twenty yards off. Her manner and the fact of her running away caused his suspicion and induced him to examine his pocket, when he found that his watch was gone. Two policemen came up at the instant, and he in formed them of what had taken place. The police and he instantly went in pursuit of the prisoner and the man, and soon came up with them, when the prisoner denied all knowledge of the watch, and declared she had never seen him. Both she and the man were, however, taken to the station-house, and upon being searched the watch was found in her bosom. The prisoner made no defence, but merely threw herself upon the mercy of the Court. The CHAIRMAN briefly summed up, and the jury, without hesitation, found the prisoner Guilty. The CHAIRMAN called constable 84 M into the box, and asked him if the prisoner was known to him, or the police ? The witness replied that she was. That she had been summarily convicted and sent to Brixton for robbing a man of his watch. That she was the associate of the worst de scription of thieves in the district, and that the man who had been taken with her was an expert and well-known thief. The CHAIRMAN sentenced the prisoner to ten years' trans portation, and she was removed from the bar, bellowing at the top of her voice, and uttering the most frightful oaths against the chairman, prosecutor, &c. As her voice became sufficiently faint, the chairman called Mr. Welkin, the pro secutor, into the box, who, in reply to his questions, said he had told the inspector that the prisoner had joined the man who had been taken with her a short distance from where she had committed the robbery, and they both ran away to gether. The Chairman, upon hearing this, observed that in his opinion the evidence was sufficiently strong to show a participation in the robbery, and he was utterly at a loss to understand why the inspector should have, under the cir cumstances, and snore particularly as he was known to the police as a practised thief, taken it upon himself to discharge him, and not take him before a magistrate to let him deal with the case. He, the Chairman, was of opinion that the man should still be taken up and brought before the magis trate, and the constable would have the sanction of the Court in doing so. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Charles Crook, who was lately committed for having, in conjunction with a person named Habbijam, stolen a number of 51. Bank of England notes, and changing them at various places (the same being stolen or lost) , was brought up, for the ninth time, before Alderman Wood. The particulars of the case are these :—A Miss Byfield came into the City for the purpose of getting a cheque cashed, which lie did, and received the change, principally in 5/. notes. She made a few purchases on the way home, and on her arrival there missed her money. On the same and next day it speared that Crook and Habbijam had changed them at a number of public-houses in the neighbourhood of Lam beth. Crook alone was taken into custody, and afterwards, on account of his confession, Habbijam was also apprehended. Previous to the latter's apprehension, Crook had sent to his father and brother, to request them to call on Habbijam, and a person named Ridger, residing in Lion-street, Old Kent road, and tell them he was in custody, which they did; and Mr. Games, solicitor, was employed to defend him (Crook) by Habbijam. After a number of investigations had taken place Crook was committed, arid Habbijam held to bail, him self in 2001. and two sureties of 1001. each. On being called last week at Guildhall he was not forthcoming, and, after some discussion, it was found that Habbijam was bound to appear at the Old Bailey, and not at Guildhall. Mr. Hubbard, for the prosecutrix, now stated that, accord ing to the suggestion of the worthy Alderman at the last ex amination, an indictment had been preferred against Habbi jam. When the details were laid before Mr. Clarkson, he applied at the Central Criminal Court for Crook to be admitted as evidence against Habbijam, which application was imme diately granted. Habbijam was then called, and not an swering, his recognisances were estreated, leaving the case open for the purpose of giving the officers an opportunity of finding Habbijam. There was at present but very little chance of apprehending Habbijam, in consequence of his dis posing of everything he owned and absconding. He could now prove that Habbijam was a returned convict, having been transported for life some years ago for issuing forged notes, and had only come back to this country about four years since. Alderman WOOD said he did not think it was quite so long. Mr. Hubbard, in continuation, said that the exertions which had been used would be of great benefit to the public, as they had been enabled to break up a regular establish menl of first-rate thieves, He now wished to mention what he considered as a most serious affair. It appeared that when Crook was first taken into custody he immediately sent to his family, asking them to go to Habbijam and Ridger, of the Old Kent •road, and let them know he was in prison. They called first on Habbijam, who went with them to Mr. Games, the solicitor, and to Ridger. While at the latter place Mrs. Ridger put her head out of the window, and said words to the effect that if they wanted to know anything about the notes Habbijam knew all about them, and could give them information. The most extraordinary thing was, that this woman, who might have given material evidence, was, within three days of the circumstance above-men tioned, dead and buried, and the husband had absconded, leaving not the slightest trace of where he was to be found. Under these circumstances, there was a case of strong sus picion that the poor woman had met with foul play. Alderman Woon—But the proper mode would be, I think, to communicate with the coroner on the subject. Mr. Hubbard said he wished to remark that during the inquiries being made, they had discovered, as part of the systvm of rubberiest earried en, new feature, which was to dress a young chill, about twelve or fourteen years of age, genteelly, and place him near the banking-houses, to watch when any parties came out, to follow them, and when they attempted to purchase anything, after giving the informa tionlnecessary to his companions, he went up by the side of the individuals and lifted theirpockets while they were emp tied. Miss Byfield. when she was making her purchases, now recollected that a genteel youth of this description stood by her side. Alderman WOOD said it reminded him of the old system of the crow in Elizabeth's time, when the figure of a woman was placed in a room with a number of bells and pockets, and the pupils were obliged to take various articles out with out making the bells sound. This had been practised in the City within the last six months. Mr. Hubbard said that he now intended to ask that Crook should be liberated on bail to appear at the next sessions, and if Habbijam was not apprehended before to appear at the following sessions. Alderman Woori said that as he had been admitted as evi dence against Habbijam at the Central Criminal Court, he ought to be admitted to bail, which should be himself in 200/. and two sureties of 1001. each. At the same time he thought Mr. Hubbard ought to communicate with the coroner re specting the death of Mrs. Ridger. Mr. Hubbard said be thought that would be the best Course. _ The required bail being forthcoming, Crook was liberated, MARLBORO UGH-STREET. John Hume, No. 10, Norfolk-street, described in the police sheet as a gentleman, was brought before Mr. Maltby, charged with having assaulted police-sergeant Park, E 5. The constable said he saw the defendant knock down a woman in Tottenham-court-road, about twelve o'clock the previous night. Ile went up and asked the woman if she was desirous of giving her unmanly asssailant into custody. The woman replied in the affirmative, and witness proceeded to lay hold of the defendant, when the defendant kicked him more than once, and caused great pain and injury. The defendant denied that he had intended to kick the constable in the manner described. He only put up his knee to push the constable from him. Mr. MALTBY sent the defendant to hard labour for one month. A man, assuming the name of Warner, but whose real name is Edwards, was charged with obtaining money from Earl Bowe under false pretences. A footman, in Lord Howe's establishment, said the de fendant called at his Lordship's house in South Audley street, stating that his name was Warner, and that he called for an answer to a paper, which he had left a day or two previously for his Lordship. The paper was a begging peti tion, which his Lordship had ascertained to be signed with fictitious signatures, and acting under the advice of his Solicitor, Mr. Thyme, hie Idordehip directed that a polio.. constable wse in waitin, when the prisoner camp f) r an anser, hould and that a sovergeign should be handed to the prisoner, in order to make the case complete. Witlliess handed the money to the prison er, and then calledon p stable o ice , . sergeant Wball, who was in an inn er room. The c came forward and took the defendant into custody. an d the The defendant had a quantity of books with him, following letter, which is gen uine : " June 26,1841 " The Duke of Wellington ha s received Mr. Edwards 1 'et ter of the 25th instant.
