RAILI‘AY COMMITTEES. (I ESTERDAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. TZIE CORNWALL RAILWAY. The Committee met this morning at eleven o'clock, the Earl of Ellenborough in the chair. Messrs. Nethewy and Veale were called by the promoters of the Bill. Both gentlemen are traders resident in Cornwall. They gave evidence in favour of the line, which they thought would be very beneficial to the people of that county, more especially to the inhabitants of Truro and St. Auvtel. The present cost of carriage was very great, and much time was consumed in it. The line would also benefit the pilchard fishery on the coast, in which much busintvs was done. Mr. Drew, mayor of Lestwithiel, said the line would greatly benefit the agricultural district bordering on that town, by the fa cilities it would create for the carriage of lime, Ire. All the inha bitants of Lostwithiel were in favour of the Bill. The line would greatly benefit the mining trade of Cornwall. Cross-examined —Was a -hareholder in the line. Ur. Elliot and Mr. Fox gave evidence in favour of the Bill. The litter witness stated that the population of Plymouth had doubled since the war. The remainder of the day was occupied in hearing the evidence of The Earl of St. Germa•=s, the Earl of Morley, and the Earl of F ho sevvral'y to re testimony to the advantages of the proposed line. They thought it was the best practicable lide, and that it would confer great benefits on Cornwall. The details, entered into were, however, wholly uninteresting, and the engineering evidence had yet to be disposed of, when the Committee adjourned at a quarter past four o'clock. VIOTICESI'En, AN D WOLVMR,- NAIVEPTON. THE BATTLE OF THE GAUGES. The Committee met to-day at eleven o'clock. Members of Com mittee present, Lord Auckland, Chairman, Lords Saltoun, Rosalyn, Zetland, and Winchester. The crone-examination of Mr. Mathews was then resumed in favour of the London and Birmingham scheme, but nothing of importance was further elicited. Mr. Barker, iron and coal master, of South Staffordshire, was next examined. He said he was connected with one of the largest firms in the district, being an establishment that made one-fourth of all the malleable iron in the district. The make of iron in the district Of South Staffordshire he represented to be 9,000 tons of pig iron weekly, being nearly one-third of all the make of Great Britain. The whole make of pig iron for the United Kingdom was 30,000 tons weekly. 01 this 10,000 tons were made in South Wales, 9,000 tons in South Staffordshire, 7,000 tons in Scotland, and the remaining 3,000 tons in Derbyshire and Shropshire. At present they had great difficulty in competing with the Scotch ironmasters in shipments to the Centinent, arising from the high rate of carriage and the imperfect accommodation. He had heard the evidence of Mr. Mathews, and agreed with him respecting the superiority of the present line over the rival line proposed. He could speak, however, definitely respecting that portion from Dudley to Wolverhampton, in which space the line under consideration accommodated the greater number of iron works. .He had seen the machine at Paddington for transhipment of goods, and was perfectly satisfied with its efficacy for the purpose. Cross-examined by Mr. HOPE—He was not able to explain the process exactly for the transhipment of goods proposed. That would be better done by the engineer. From what he had seen oft, however, he was satisfied it would be found efficient for the purposes required. The principal markets of his firm were Liver pool, Manchester, and Hull. He did not send so much to Bristol or London. He understood that the tonnage on the broad and narrow gauges were to be the same, and in that case, so far as Bristol was concerned, it did not matter much which linethey used. He was satisfied that competition was beneficial in reducing the T. si f carriage. Before the opening of the Liverpool and Bit rneigf am hue, the carriage of lime was 20s. per ton to Liverpool. It was now iaern for 10s., and he thought it might be still less. Mr. Thorneycroft, irotimaster, of Wolverhampton, was examined generady with respect to the merits of the two competing lines. liis evidence was principally confirmatory of the evidence given by Mathews yesterday. He admitted that the new line to Lon don was necessary, in order to force the London and Birmingham Company to accommodate the public better than they bad hitherto done The cross-examination of the witness did not elicit anything parti entar, Mr. Graysbrook, of Stourhridge, deposed as to the general cor rectness of tie evidence furnished by Mr Matthews. He believed the teelmg of South Staff rdshire was in favour of the Great Wi stein scheme. No tarther back than last Saturday he sent round a petition to the House of Lords in favour of this scheme for sig-iatures, when every master in the district of Stourbridge signed it with one exception. Mr. Farden, alkali manufacturer, of Stoke Priors, was examined as to the amount of the salt trade of Worcestershire. He deposed that, with improved f...citities for transmitting the salt, three adjeiniug counties might use at least 100,000 tons yearly. At pr es ent the make was 1 , 500 tons weekly. Twenty years ago it was but 300 tons weekly. Ir. South, farmer, of Berkshire, gave evidence respecting the great advantage which would ue conferred on Berkshire in supply sue salt for the agrlculiurat districts by the construction of this line. The light lands between Reading and Basingstoke required salt for top draining, and if it could be had from Worcestershire at any price under 11. it would confer a great benefit. The present line, he was persuaded, would accomplish this. It might be supplied at Chipping Norton at 12s. 4d. per ton, at Farnborough at 17s. 9d., aud, at Listints• Wise at 11)S. Com mitt,: then adjourned till to-morrow at eleven o'clock, DUAL= AND BELFAST lUNCTION RAY .WAY. IMPORTANT DECISION. The Select Committee on this Bill reassembled this morning soon atter eleven o'clock, and proceeded with the evidence in favour of the case for the promoters of the Dublin and Belfast Junction Raitway. Sr Wm. Somerville, M.P. for Drogheda, was called to prove that the majority of the people of that town were in favour of the proposed railway. Sir J9llll M`Neil, the eminent engineer, who had laid out the proposed line, proved that it was one of the most important in Ire land, inasmuch as it took in the great stream of traffic running to the north and to the south. The length of the line from Drogheda to Portadawn was 56 miles, and from Drogheda to Navan 17 1 / 2 . Calculating from Dublin the trunk line would be 7i miles long, but the inland line would be eight or ten miles longer. The severest curve was twenty-seven chains radius, and the deepest gradient 1 in 100. There would be a viaduct near the Boyce of about 400 yards in length. He estimated the cost of the main line at 630,5451., and the branch at 117,0271. He set contirgencies down at 74,757/. He estimated the working ex penses at 30 per cent. upon the expected annual revenue. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. M. CHASIDERS at con siderable length, with a view of showing that the necessities of the country called for an inland instead of a coast line, and that the works of the line were of a very slifficult character. This closed the case for the promoters of the Dublin and Belfast Junction line. Mr. CHAMBER'S then applied for an adjournment, urging that they had bczn taken so much by surprise by the very sudden ap pointment of the Committee that they had not had time to get their avitne.ses over from Ireiand. Mr. MURPHY resisted the application, and eventually the Com mittee (leaned to grant it. Mr, M. Clismaxas then proceeded to address the Committee on of the pr.moters tir the Dublin and Armagh inland line, contending that the coast line was commencing at the wrong end. The Commissioners appointed in 1836 to ascertain the best mode of supplying Ireland with a general system of railway communication bad recommended that all main trunk lines ought to pass through the interior of the country, as bad been done in England, and leave it for time to produce bra , che, to the main ports and exten sions along the c,aist. The Dublin an. 4 Armagh Railway was one eit these main trui,k Loess, Lut the Dunnalk and Portadown was (oily a coast extension, and theretore the Learned Counsel con tenaed that the Committee ought to prefer the former, and reject the latter. Two witnesses were then called to prove that theinland line was the be,t of the two, a. ,d the case for the opponents closed. Toe room was therefore cleared, and the Committee having re. mained in deliberation for five or six minutes, strangers were re_ atiiiii , ted. when The CHaUtMAN announced that the preamble to the Dublin and Belfast Junction Bill had been proved. STANDING 071MMRS COMMITTEM. The Committee met at three c'clock. The Earl of Shaftesbury in the ch,iir. The fdlowing Bills passed through Committee : The Preston and Wyre Railway. The Norwsch and Bandon Railway. The Gla.gow Jut coon Railway. Toe consideration of the Gteat Western Railway Bill was post. poncti till to.kutarow. DOUSE OF COMMONS. G ROUP A. TIVeiTIT'aDEIg A:MD LZNE. On ihe Chairman taking his seat this morning, the cross-exami oat log of Mr. Smith (who was examined on the part of the above line yesleroa , ) was resumed by Mr. JOHNSON, when it appeared that the popt.lition of 115 e was about 4,000. The vitneis was then re-examined by Mr. BELLASIS, but stated 7lr tit') put in a letter from Major Curtis, a resident 11!,e, to the Poor-law Commissioners, pointing out the danger Juilding a workacuse at a certain spot known to be very un healthy, so much so that he himself intended to pull down some houses which were near the place, and which he was about to pull dow, as persons living in them were in danger of ague. This letter was produced to prove that the houses which this line will destroy.and cn account of which he petitioned against this line, were af no value. Mr. Bentasis then called Mr. Salmes, a farmer and grazier, who spoke to the advantages to be derived from this line. He himself had row alargo quantity of corn, which he would send to London .1f there was a railway to send it by. Has no shares in the proposed line, hut i - as a very good opinion of it, and intends to get shares if the Bill pa,se•i. Thinks Rye would support two lines of railway, and 'liar if this Bill were to pass, the line would certainly succeed. 1".1r. Thomas Smith, a sheep salesman at Smithfield market, spoke to the injury done to sheep by being driven long distances, A sheep had been known to lose six or eight pounes in weight by being driven from Rye to London. Sheep often had their shoulders dislocated from excessive driving. He was no relation to the for aner witness, Mr. J. Smith, but he sold sheep for trim in London, and hal frequent dealings with him. Mr. Tte,.,s, miller, at Bennington, spoke to the expense of convey ing doer from that t lace to Staplehurst, where the station of the South Ea,terd line is, and where it is necessary to send it in order : to, have it conveyed to London, To convey SOO sheep to :Staplehurst cost :3'21. The same number would be conveyed to "Tenterden fir 6/. 43. The witness spoke at some length as to the 9s:antity of flour which would be sent to London if there was a rail way. lie himself at present ground about seven loads per week by wind, and - about thirty-two loads by steam. His business would be increased very much if the railway were made. There were several ocher millers in Bennington, who were all of opinion that this line would be a great advantage to them. Mr, Clarke, a firmer, and also a general deakr, at Rolvington, -was then calltd, and ,poke to the feeling in favour of the line at That place, and also to the advantage to trade, &c., expected from the tine. The population of the parish of Rolvington was about _ _ mr, Harding, another witness from the same neighbourhood, COrroey-icated the former evidence. Mr. finni•Aan was about to call another witness, when Tie CHAIRMAN gild that he thought no further evidence on the lagtiject of the feeling in favour of the lime, and of the necessity , x ,o, a lie, was necessary, and that Mr. Hildyard ought now to produce , he et,geerwg evidence aod the tratfic.t a bl es . Mr. HILDVARD that he was not prepared to produce the trathc.tablts, but it the Cdnmittee would all.w him to examine a witness from Tenterdeu, he would be aule to produce the traffic ;tables iromediauly afterwards. Mr. (40ding. a resident at Tenterden, gave evidence in favour of OA. propo - ed Hue. ca t ntain sloorsom. civil engineer, was then called and examined. Lt last he was engaged io lay down a Hite from Headcorn to Rie, y id acecrdingiy stuveyed the country between those places for the pu rpt se of laying down the best possible line in the directiond out. He had also estimated the expense cf The line, which he calculated at something under 140,0001. The items inc'uded in that sum were as follows : For fencing, 5,5351 ; for earthwork, 35,5301 ; for masonry of all kinds. including tari. , g, s, &c., 25,903/. ; for stations, 4,065/. ; and for osnting,ncio, 18,763/. —being about 17 per cent. This was a very liberal estimate for conti. genc,es, the u.ual amount allowed :being per cent. The object of the line was Co make a comm cation between the port at Rye and the interior Qfis catints 7, The steepest gradient on the line was lin 130. There was ne tunnel on the line. There were no very important curves on the line. The length of the line was 17% miles. Captain Moorsom was then cross-examined by Mr. Hat — Witness had had an assistant to work the calculations, which were founded on observations made on the spot by Mr. Thom, son, who was now present. Captain Moorsom was then cross-examined by Mr. CL►RKSON, on the part of Major Curtiss. a petitioner against the line—He did not think the line would do any injury to Major Cur tiss's house, though it passed within a quarter of a mile of it. The engines when passing the house could not be heard there, as there was a hill between the house and the line, which would be an obstacle to the sound, but they would be heard at the house both before and after they came directly oppo. site to it. He did not think it would injure Major Curtiss's pro perty, as the value of the land through which it passed was not equal to the improvement in the value of the land in general. Mr. MELLoa was about to cross examine Captain Moorsona on the part of several landowners whose property it passes through, and who had petitioned against it, when Mr. HILDYARD said that he wished to call a witness who would prove that the opposition of these gentlemen was in reality con ducted by the Brighton Company. Mr. MELLOR objected; and after some discussion, Mr. HILDYARD asked a question of the person he had alluded to, without calling him as a witness ; and being satisfied with the an. swer, withdrew his objection to Mr. Mellor's cross-examination. The witness, being cross examined by Mr. MELLoa, said that this line passed through a fi?ld belonging to Mr. Sutton, a petitioner against the line, and separated a piece, one acre in size, from the rest of the field. Mr. HILDYARD asked whether the witness was aware that the field in question was called " Starve , ion Glen," from the extreme barrenness of the soil (A laugh.) The witness replied that he did not know the name of the field. Mr. HILDYARD said that he must call another witness to prove that fact. _ _ .. .. On — the conclusion of Captain Moorsom's evidence, the Com mittee adjourned, shortly before five o'clock. GROUP KK. SOUTHPORT AND EUXTON :UNCTION RAILWAY. The Committee met at twelve o'clock. There were present Sir Charles Lemon, Chairman ; the Hon. Charles Hope, Sir E. Filmer, and Mr. Horsman. The CHAIRMAN announced that the Committee had come to the decision that the preamble of the above Bill had not been proved. The Committee then broke up. GROUP X. LONDON AND YORK MINE. This Committee resumed this morning at the usual hour, Viscount Courtenay in the chair. Mr. Pickersgill, under examination by Mr. WEBSTER, deposed to his being a surveyor and architect, and having lately made a sur vey of the stations as laid out by the London and York and North Midland Railway. The former would be most inconvenient, cross ing as it would five lines, and obstructing the traffic in the neigh bourhood. The witness here produced a model of the projected position and construction of the stations as scheduled. Mr. John Oliver, examined by Mr. WEBSTER—Is a farmer and auctioneer, having resided at S!ainforth more than thirty years, and is, therefore, fully acquainted with the nature of the Don navigation. In 1833 the arch of the old stone bridge was removed, in order to enable light vessels safely and easily to pass under. In this altered and improved state it remained till October, 1844, when the archway was again removed, and a platform made to swing, affixed to the top of the bridge. Since this latter change, a vessel with standing masts, went through ; previously such a circumstance was unheard of and impracticable. In the capacity of parish officer of Brandwith, he bad occasion, last year, to complain to the Commissioners of the Don navigation of the diversion of the roads. Mr. J. Lee, a wattrman, resident at Thorne, exarained by Mr. WESTER—Proved the existence of three fixed bridges over the old river Don between Goole and Thorne, and six over the new navi. gation, some of the latter having been altered during the last year. The depth of the river is about 511 feet, and craft of between 60 and 65 tons are the largest that can be got up, and these have had to leave their masts behind ever since the opening of the bridges. Mr. COCKBURN here stated that the evidence on his case had closed with the last witness, excepting only some formal evidence, which was not as yet complete. He therefore wished at this sea.. sonable juncture to mention a circumstance which bad of late come to the knowledge of his clients. He was in formed, and he believed he could prove to the satisfaction of the Committee, that a fatal error had been made in the plans and sections as deposited by the London and York Company ; an error precisely similar to that which had been discovered and held fatal in the case of the Cambridge and Lincoln, and which, there fore, must place the former in the same predicament. In the ten miles from King's-cross all error of no less than ten feet had been committed. The surface level was ten feet too low, taking the working sections as a criterion, and thereby both the navigation and the roads would be matetially interfered with. The law allowed only five feet difference in the limits of deviation, and on a turn pike road only two feet. In one place, hov.ever, an error of no less than twenty-seven feet had been made in the line as now before the Committee, and he contended that the Bth Victoria, c. 20, had been violated. There was no difference between them and the case of the Cambridge and Lincoln, and he called upon the Committee to inflict on those who had first suggested the import.. ance of the error the same penalty as had been paid by the Com pany which the Committee hail postponed for the present session. Mr. Sergeant WRANGIUM, hoot entering into the merits of the case at ail, would merely submit that his Learned Friend, hav ing neglected to cross-examine any of the engineers who had been in the witness.box on that point, were now precluded from enter ing into any evidence on the subject. Mr. COCKBURN insisted upon his right to adduce any argument for the case, and asserted that his Learned Friend could not bring any precedent for the course which he desired the Committee to take. The Committee then retired for consideration, and on their return, Lord COURTENAY stated that, as the Committee understood Mr. Sergeant Wrangham, they were not in a position to give their deci. sion till to-morrow morning. The points were so important, and involved so many interests, that they were anxious to consider them carefully, but to-morrow he thought they might safely decide as to the course which might be taken. Mr. AusTIN intimated that he had evidence to tender on the part of the York and North Midland Company similar to that pro posed by Mr. Cockburn, and therefore this decision would affect all the three parties who were opponents of the London and York Bill. It was agreed that Mr. Cockburn's evidence should be taken to morrow. . Mr. WEBSTER stated that he was prepared to prove that an error of 18 feet had been made in the datum line of the Sheffield branch, and proceeded to call evidence of the traffic on the line proposed by the Direct Northern Company between Lincoln and York. Mr. Mansell, an assistant of Mr. Bush, traffic taker for the line, put in a number of tables to show the amount of traffic on the line. PARLIAMENTARY BUSINESS. TUESDAY, JULY 8.

PRICE or GoLn —The premium on gold at Paris is l7i per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 59 ; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 65, it follows that gold is 0.23 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburgh, the price of gold is 435 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 175.100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 10; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 12, it follows that gold is 0.91 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh. _ _ ll,Ltic OF NELSON.—A i n nteresting relic of Nelsln has been discovored ; and some interest also attaches to the man ner in which it has been secured to the nation. Sir Harris Nicolas in his laborious researches for editing the hero's dispatches, had satisfied himself that the coat and waistcoat which Nelson wore when he fell at Trafalgar were carefully preserved. In pursuance of the Admiral's directions, they were given, with several other things, by Sir Thomas Hardy, his Captain, to Lady Hamilton; by her tt ey were transferred, under peculiar circumstances, to a late alderman of London, and they remained in possession of the alder man's widow. The :lady is not rich, and she asked 1501. for the relic. The sum being beyond his own means, Sir Harris deter mined to raise it by subscription, in order that the coat and waist coat might be deposited, like the coat which Nelson wore at the battle of the Nile, in Greenwich Hospital. With that view, he put the proposition in writing, and had it printed as a circular. Before issuing the circular, he sent a copy to Prince Albert, who immediately desired that the purchase might be made for himself, as he should feel " pride and pleasure" in presenting the precious memorials to Cbreenwich Hospital, Sir Harris Nicolas took them to the royal purchaser on Wednesday, and we under stand that the Prince manifested a very fine feeling on the oeca. sion There is kind and generous wisdom in this act ; for no thing could so help to identify the Queen's husband with the Bri tish people as such little tributes to their maritime pride. The coat is thus described in Sir Harris Nicolas's circular; and it will be seen that it has an historical value :—" The coat is the undress uniform of a vice -admiral, lined with white silk, with lace on the cuffs, and epaulettes. Four stars—of the Orders of the Bath, St. Ferdinand and Merit, the Crescent, and St. Joachim—are 'sewn' on the left breast, as Nelson habitually wore them; which dis proves the story, that he purposely adorned himself with his deco rations on going into battle. The course of the fatal ball is shown by a hole over the left shoulder, and part of the epaulette is torn away; which agrees with Dr. Sir William Beattie's account of Lord Nelson's death, and with the fact, that pieces of the bullion and pad of the epaulette adhered to the ball, which is now in her Majesty's possession. The coat and waistcoat are stained in several places with the hero's blood."—Spectator. SETTLEMENT OF THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THE BRIGHTON •ND DOVER COMPANIES.—The long pending and embar rassed question as to the reimbursement, by the South-Eastern Railway Company, of the cost of the six miles of railway north of Reigate, which six miles, to save the expense of two lines running nearly parallel to each other for twelve miles, were constructed by the Brighton Company, has been settled, and the sum of 340,0001., including interest and improvement of the funded Investment, will bt.., in a few days, paid over, in cash, to the Brighton Railway Company. Of the above sum of 340,0001. the Brighton Corn. pany have anticipated the receipt of, and hays divided interest to the extent of, 27,0001. We congratulate the proprietors of both companies on this result, so satisfactory to all parties; and we especially congratulate the Brighton proprietary on the arrange ment, attributable, as it mainly is, to the business.like habits and energy of Mr. Peter Clarke, the new manager of the line.—Herald. 2 1 ,i It. C. MATHEWS AND HIS CREDITORS —Mr. Commissioner Law (of the Insolvent Debtors' Court) has finished the and' t of debts under the insolvency of Mr. C. Mathews, in the year 1842. The debts proved amount to about 13,0001., on which a dividend of 4id. in the pound has been declared. The debts on the face of the schedule exceed in amount 27,0001. The insolvency arose from the lesseeship of Covent-garden Theatre. NN t:ov,vicx, •JULY 8.-1 be Fairy s , eani-vessel, her Majesty's river yacht, proceeded down the river yesterday to have her compasses adjusted by Captain Johnson, and will proceed thence to Portsmouth, to wait her Majesty's commands. The fittings of this handsome yacht are of the chastest description, and universally admired by all who have seen them. The Terrible steam-vessel is in the inner basin of Woolwich Dockyard, fitting with her engines and paddle-wheels. This powerful vessel begins to assume a formidable appearance, owing to the great strength of her timbers and the dimensions of her paddle.boxes. She will have four funnels, two of which are already put up, and the ether two in progress, and everything connected with her appears to be on a gigantic scale, her engines being of 800.herse power. The officers and crew of the Swallow Dover packet have been trans. ferr'•d to the Myrtle steam-vessel, and she left Woolwich this morning to perform the duties of the Swallow steamer on the Dover station, LAW INTELLIGENCE COURT OF CHANCERY. July 9. The Lord Chancellor sat in Lincoln's Inn Hall today. IMPARTS IVAN SANDAU. The LORD CHANCELLOR upon this case being called on Inquired what had been the result of the action ? Mr. BACISHAWE said that the action had not been tried In con sequence of Mr. Jarvis, Mr. Van Sandau's leading counsel, having advised him that the best course to be adopted would be to request the Lord Chancellor to dispose of the whole matter, both at law and in equity, without a reference. Any order that his Lordship might make Mr. Van Sandau would cheerfully submit to. Mr. SWANSTON said that his client would be most grateful to his Lordship if he would decide the whole matter. As to the action, they were quite willing that a stet processus should be entered ; if, however, any proceedings were taken with respect to the costs at law, then his client must request that their common-law coun sel might be heard. The Loan CHANCELLOR said he would dispose of all the ques tions, except the question of damages, without a reference, but with respect to them a reference must be directed to the Master. Mr. BAGSHAWE was willing to accede to any arrangement most readily on the behalf of Mr. Van Sandau. The only question now was, on what day the Court would decide it? The Loan CHANCELLOR would let the parties know in a few days when he would give his opinion. He thought it would be better for him to decide the different proceedings that had been raised in that Court, and then to hear Mr. Jarvis and the other mmon-law gentlemen on the question of costs, if it was necessary. The question of the damages Mr. Van Sandau had sustained must be decided by the Master upon a reference. Mr. BACSHAWE observed, perhaps Mr. Van Sandau might be in clined to give up the reference. The LORD CHANCELLOR thought the parties bad adopted a most wise course. Mr. Baoswaws wished it to be understood that all Mr. Van Sandau's counsel agreed in the propriety of the course suggested by Mr. Jarvis. Appeals occupied his Lordship the remainder of the day. ROLLS' COURT, July 9. The further arguments in the part heard case of Lord Nelson v. Lord Bridport occupied his Lordship the Master of the !tolls the whole day. VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURT, July 9. The Vice-Chancellor of England was occupied the whole day with motions and causes of no interest; the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce took bankrupt petitions and causes; and the Vice. Chancellor Wigr-m, after disposing of Morris r. Howe, proceeded to hear the arguments in Forsyth v. Ellis, which occupied the greater part of the morning.

Yesterday afternoon the inhabitants of the lower end of Dale-street, Byrom-street, Great Crosshall-street, Lace-street, Fontenoy-street, and the various other streets which intersect that densely-populated locality, were kept in a state of great commotion by a mob which had assembled and attacked a body of Orangemen. It appears that Orangemen to the number of 150 had been walking in procession at the funeral of a deceased brother. The funeral proceeded from New Bird-street, Tox teth-park, the residence of the deceased, to St. Mary's Ceme tery ; and, after the deceased had been interred, the procession was returning to the Park by Scotland-road, Byront-street, and, we believe, Dale-street. The Orangemen composing it wore black sashes, tied, in some instances, at the ends with orange ribbons. When they had reached the end of Great Crosshall-street, the crowd which had been accompanying them down Scotland-road was considerably reinforced by the Irish men resident in Lace-street and other low streets in that neighbourhood. The Irishmen appear to have been the ag gressive party, exasperated, no doubt, by the display of orange ribbons. A stone was thrown, and then a volley of stones fol lowed. The Orangemen, who were walking two deep, and were only accompanied by about 16 policemen, immediately halted and made an attempt to repel their assailants. In this they were, to a certain extent, succeasful, for they drove them up some of the adjacent streets, with the assistance of the police. The uproar, however, drew large bodies of other Irish men to the spot, and the mob, having in this way regained strength and courage, made the Orangemen, after a vigorous resistance, fly before them. We have been assured by the policemen and others who witnessed the melee, that stones anti brickbats were flying about as thick as hail during the greater part of the affray. Happily no life was lost on the occasion, and the injuries so far as we could ascertain, were very few. Mr. Superintendent M•Donald received a very severe blow of a stone en the leg, and had to be conveyed home in a ear. In spector Bibby was struck on the jaw, and two or three of the force were wuunded slightly in the upper part of the head. When the affray had lasted about half an hour, the Orangemen were induced quietly to make the best of their way home through some of the by-streets leading towards Lonelon•road ; and Mr. Dowling, and very shortly atter Superintendent Le verett, having come up with strong detachments of the police force from the neighbourhood of the docks, the mob were over awed, and all active disturbances was from this moment at an end. Besides the injuries already mentioned, several panes of glass were b oken, and part of a shop sign was carried away by the force with which the stones were thrown. Mr. Dowling continued until about half past eight in the evening to peram bulate a large seciion of the constabulary force in the streets in the vicinity, which were densely crowded by the lower classes; but about that hour a heavy shower of rain fell, which dispersed them to their homes without much trouble or delay. We should not omit to mention that three Roman Catholic clergy men also remained in the neighbourhood during the evening, and used their exertions to allay the excited feelings of the people.— Liverpool Albion. CHARGE OF GROSS NEGLECT AGAINST A MEDICAL ATTENDANT. On Sunday last an inquest was held at Sutterton, near Barton, before C. Mastin, Gent., Coroner, on view of the body of Mrs. Hannah Phillips, wife of James Phillips, of Sutterton, who came , to her death under the following circumstances detailed in the evide::ce : Mr. James Phillips is husband of the deceased ; on the 13th of June last she was delivered of a male child ; Mr. William Wyers was the accoucheur, and had been expressly engaged for some time previ ously. It was not considered a dangerous labour, and for some time deceased progressed favourably, until Monday morning last, when perceiving an unfavourable change, witness called in Mr. Mawer, surgeon of Kirton, who informed him there was much danger to be appre hended; and on the following Wednesday night brought Mr. Millson, of Swineshead, who informed witness that his wife was in an almost hopeless state. Mr. Tuxford, of Boston, was also called in, who pronounced the case a hopeless one, and on Thursday evening she expired. During the labour there was some gin on the table, and as near as witness could calculate, Mr. Wyers drank about half a pint On the following morning he attended his patient, and was then sober ; but, on the third day (Wednesday), he was again in attendance, in a state of intoxication. Yesterday (Saturday), Mr. Wyers drove up to wit ness's house in his gig, when, after condoling with him for the loss of his wife, be said ho felt almost as if it had been his own loss, and expressed a wish to make witness any recompence : he (witness) could not possibly comprehend him. Believed his wife was impressed with the same conviction as himself ; for a short time previous to her decease, she exclaimed, " Oh, that Wyers ! that Wyers !" Sarah Jackson, of Sutter ton, nurse, attended Mrs. Phillips in her recent confine ment ; it is her positive opinion that the deceased was grossly neglected by her first medical attendant. Mr. Wyers appeared twice in a slate of int ox i ca ti on . Th e jury returned the following verdict—" That the said Hannah Phillips died eleven days after giving birth to a male child from the gross and culpable neglect of her medical attendant."—Boston Herald.

COMMITTAL OF A I)RUNKEN JUROR.—Tha power of a coroner to commit an individual appearing before him in the character of a juror in a state of intoxication, was on Monday exer cised by Mr. W. Payne, the coroner for the city of London, at an adjourned inquest, hold before the Learned Gentleman, at the Feathers Tavern, Whitefriars. The case was one of alleged child murder, and the female charged as having been instrumental in causing the death of deceased had been in custody some days, awaiting the result of the inquiry. The whole of the panel, with the exception of delinquent, assembled at the hour appointed, and after waiting more than a quarter of an hour, that individual entered the court in an evident state of intoxication, and took his seat among his brother-jurors. The coroner immediately observed the disgraceful condition in which he appeared, and, addresssing him, inquired if he thought himself in a fit state to decide on the liberty of a fellow-subject ? The defendant, with the indignity of manner se peculiar to parties in a state of half oblivicusness, mut tered out, " Yes, sir—O yes, sir 1" The tone and manner, if anything further conclusive had been required, was sufficient; and the coroner, after addressing him at some length in terms highly condemnatory of his conduct, which he described as a gross insult to the court, committed him forthwith to Giltspur-s'reet Compter, to which prison he was immediately removed in the custody of an officer. Thirteen jurors being still in attendance, the inquiry was proceeded with, and a verdict of" Found dead" returned. Before the close of the inquiry the coroner addressed a letter to Mr. Withair, the governor of Giltspur-street Compeer, requesting that officer to inform the defendant, when sufficiently sober, that upon his writing a letter of apology he would be permitted to leave the prison. DEATH FROM SUFFOCATION ON LONDON-BRIDGE WHARF.—On Monday an inquest was held in the vestry-room of St. Magnus Church, London-bridge, on the body of John Ellis, aged 36, bootmaker, of Marylebone street, Regent-street. The deceased went, in company with his wife and a few friends, on Sunday last, to Gravesend, in the Falcon steamboat, and after spending the day, apparently in good health and cheerful spirits, returned by the eight o'clock Diamond boat, and arrived at Lon don-bridge Wharf about eleven o'clock, without making any com plaint of illness. Wh en th e p at ties got ashore, and when opp os i te the door of St. M agnus Ch urc h, he was seized suddenly w i t h a violent fit of cou g hi ng, an d vomited a large quantity of bl oo d . His friends becoming a armed, endeavoured to get him towards a surgeon's, and ultimately succeeded in conveying him to Mr. Smith's, in Gracechurch.street, when, on that gentleman, being called up, E lis was found to be quite dead. The mouth and throat were found filled with arterial blood, occasio,ed by the rupture of the vessels of the lungs, which were diseased; and death had been occasioned partially by the rupture and suffocation from effusion of blood in the throat. Verdict, " Natural death." BANK RETURNS. (From the London Gazette of Tuesday.)

The plaintiffs are eminent merchants in the City. The de fendant is a well-known Custom• house agent, and the action was brought to recover 181/. from the defendant, which the plaintiffs alleged had been paid by them to a former confidential clerk of theirs, who committal suicide in 1841, and by him to the defendant for clearing from the Custom-house a certain quantity of goods belonging to them, which, however, were removed without the payment of duty, and the duty on which the plaintiffs were afterwards obliged to pay over again. After a great deal of evidence had been gone into, the Lord Chief Baron recommended the case to be referred, as it was impos sible for a jury to do justice between the parties. HATWOOD V. M'DOWALL. Mr. Sergeant Talfourd, Mr. Knowles, and Mr. Flood, ap peared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Martin for the defendant. This action was brought nominally for a fortnight's wages, but in reality to determine between the master printers and the compositors of the metropolis two points—first, whether according to the custom of the trade a fortnight's notice is necessary to determine the contract of service on either side, and, secondly, whether Parliamentary appeal eases" should be paid for at fist/ rate of Bd. or of 7d. per thousand letters. At the commencement of the case, Mr. MAawzx said he did not intend to dispute the first point, and would, therefore, admit that the plaintiff was entitled to a fortnight's notice be fore he was discharged. The only questaii, therefore, now to be determined was the rate of payment. The defendant is the well known printer, carrying on busi ness in Pemberton-row, Gough-square. The plaintiff is a compositor. The defendant is honorary secretary to the Master Printers' Association. The plaintiff is supported by the body of London compositors. In January last the defendant, who had not before hid much Parliamentary business. got an order to print an appeal case, " Ranger the Great Western Railway Company. • As all business done before Parliament, or in connexion with it, is paid for at a higher rate than business done e.sewhere, compositors charge more for Parliamentary than other work, and require Bd. per thousand for " appeal cases." The defendant offered only 7d. per th , ..ufand. This "the companionship," i.e. the body of compositors in the defendant's employment, for this kind of business refused to take. Though there was plenty of other work in the office, the defendant i ould not give any einloy- Anent to them, and they thereupon gave him a fortnight 's no tice to leave. During this fortnight they were wholly unem. ployed, and this action was brought by one of them for about 41., the snm which, on the average, he would be supposed likely to make by piecework during the fortnight he was so employed. . After a few witnesses had been examined for the plaintiff, the ease was adjourned till to-morrow. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Winnums.) George Hickmott, 20, butler, was indicted for felo• niously forging and uttering an acquittance or receipt for the payment of IL 145., with intent to defraud Abraham Wilday Roberts. Mr. CLARKSON said he had just communicated with his client, and as he could not hope to struggle success fully against the facts that were to be deposed to by the witnesses for the prosecution, he would, with the per mission of the Court, retract his plea of not guilty. The plea having been recorded, Mr. CLARKSON said he believed he should be in a position to show the Court by respectable testimony that the prisoner, up to the time of the transaction, had borne a most unimpeachable character. He believed he had been led away by other parties. Mr. BODKIN reminded the Court that there were three other indictments against the prisoner. Mr. CLARKSON said he believed that the extent of the defalcations of the prisoner was not more than 131. altogether. _ _ _ Mr. Roberts said the amount was much larger than that stated by the Learned Counsel, but this was not so much the consideration, as the feeling that his duty to the public required him to prosecute in a case which he considered one of great breach of confidence. The pri soner was entrusted with cheques to pay the trades people, and his practice was to keep the amount and forge the receipts of the parties. The prisoner received a most excellent character when he came into his service, and he believed he had been induced by parties to bet upon horses and horse-races, and this had led him into difficulties. Mr. Justice WILLIAMS said he should consider what sentence ought to be passed upon the prisoner. Chailes Chalk, 38, was indicted for feloniously killing and slaying his son, George Chalk. There as not the least evidence in support of the charge, and Mr. Justice WILLIAMS directed the jury to return a verdict of Not Guilty. William Warren, 26, shoemaker, was indicted for feloniously cutting and wounding Sarah Warren, with intent to murder her. The facts of this case have already appeared in our police reports. . . Mr. Justice WILLIAMS having summed up, the jury found the prisoner guilty of a common assault. The Learned Judge, after some appropriate obsorva dons, sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprison ment. Anthony Aldred was indicted for forging a receipt for the sum of 205., with intent to defraud Edward Cooper. It appeared that in June last the father of the prose cutor received a letter which purported to be written by his son, and in which he was requested to send him a poet office order for 205., to N. , . 93, Tower-street, Blackfriars-road. The order was sent. and was preyed to have been received by the prisoner, who signed the name of the prosecutor to it, and received the money. The jury found the prisoner Guilty, and a previous conviction for felony having been proved against him, he was sentenced to be transported for fifteen years. (Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON.) Henry Lowden, a news. agent's boy, was convicted of uttering a forged request tor the delivery of four quires of the Pictorial Times newspaper, with intent to defraud Andrew Spottiswoode. Thomas King and John Courtney were also convicted of a similar offence. Mr. Baron ALnEnsoN sentenced all the prisoners to be kept to hard labour for two years, but intimated that in the cases of Courtnay and King, who had received a good character, that some mitigation of the sentence might be granted. illaty Calland, 19, was convicte3 of stealing a 10/. Bank of England note, the property of Marie Quentin, her mistress. She was sentenced to be transported for ten years. MEMOIRS OF SOPHIA DOROTIIEA, CONSORT OF GEORGE I.—With the exception of Mary, Queen of Scots, no illustrious personage has excited so much in terest and sympathy as the subject of this memoir. Her whole life, as relatedin these pages, is a perfect romance. The dreadful hatred of the Countess Platen towards her Royal Highness, the devilish acts with which she pur sued her to ruin, and the cold-blooded and cruel murder of Count Konigsmark by the same fiendish hand, makes us believe we are reading some recital of the cruelty of a female Borgia, rather than those of a German lady of the last century. The true features of the drama are now for the first time published, gathered from various German documents, and from the diary of the unfor tunate Princess herself, written during her long confine ment in the fortress of Ahlden. Independently of the interest these memoirs must excite on account of the ill-starred Princess, whose persecution they set forth, a vast number of contemporary portraits are given, which add great value to its pages The politic, yet weak minded Elector of Hanover ; the Platens, those devils in human shape ; the corrupt Bernstorf ; Madame Schu• lenburg, and others of the ugly harem of George the First ; Frederick Augustus, the Sardanapalus of the North ; and last, not least, the handsome and Notorious Count Konigsmark. figure most prominently in this in teresting history.— Weekly Chronicle. GRAND PROCESSION OF THE SOCIETY OF OLD FRIENDB.—The twenty-seventh anniversary of this Society (whose object is the relief of distressed brothers, and whose branches have spread over all parts of the kingdom), was yesterday celebrated with grand processional pomp. The main body of the procession rendezvoused in Finsbury. square, each lodge furnished with its respective banner and band of musicians, and formed in order of four deep, the lodges (of which there are 101 in London) taking position according to seniority. The procession then moved, ac companied by a vast assemblage of people, onward to Vauxhall Gardens, where an excellent dinner was spread for 2,000 members. The procession in its course was, from time to time, considerably augmented by tributary lodges falling in from the side streets at which they awaited their opportunity of joining. After dinner the evening was passed amid the varied attractions for which " the royal property " (Vauxhall) is remarkable.
