Mr. SMITH moved for au injuction to restrain the de fendants trom removing, or causing to be removed, or selling tiny portion of the early straw or growing crops now standing upon Cliff Farm, in Waddington, Lincoln shire. The plaintiff is the sole proprietor of the land, but the defendants claim to have a second mortgage upon the land, and have commenced breaking up the farm. The plaintiff had asked to see the mortgage deed, but to no effect, aud the first sale by auction of part of the proceeds of the farm was announced to take place this day. Under these circumstances he prayed for an in junction to restrain than from so doing. His Borrow:. said he thought the parties bad better be made acquainted with the suit and come up again next week. QUEEN'S BENCH.-('PHIS DAY. QUEEN V. TIARRIS. This was an indieiment for libel, in which the defen dant had allewed judgment to go by ch fault, and was now brought up to rec Live the sentence of the Court. The defer dant was a gentleman of property, residing in Devonshire, and the prosecutor, at whose instance the indictment was preferred at the last assizes at Exeter, was Captain Hortt. the commanding officer cf the 4th or Queen's Own Regiment of Foot Guards. The indictment contained three counts, and it charged the defendant with having written two letters and published a placard, in which he denounced Captain Hortt as a liar and a coward. The particular words were—" He is an in effable liar, and with that quality he unites the other of being, I venture to assert, the only dastardly coward extant in her Majesty's service." These words were contained in a placard published by the defendant and two letters which he wrote, and addressed to Captain Hortt'a superior officer, and to the (fficers' mess of the 4th Re giment. An affidavit in mitigation of punishment by defendant was put in. In this affidavit he stated that he was much reduced in circumstances. He acknow ledged his error, but explained that be committed it while labouring under feelings of irritation, occasioned by a statement of his son, who served under Captain Hortt, and who complained that he had been ill-treated by the Captain on several occasions. The ATTORNEY•GENERAL said, after the affidavit it was necessary that he should explain that the circum stances referred to by the defendant were inquired into by the Commander-in-Chief, who ultimately came to the conclusion that Lieutenant Harris, the son of the defendant, had no ground of complaint against - his com manding officer. The defendant, however, was not sa tisfied with that decision, but wrote the letters complained of in this indictment, and afterwards published a placard containing the objectionable words; which was found in his son's room. The young man was brought to a court martial and tried for a breach of military discipline in exhibiting it, and the result of that investigation was that the Lieutenant was ordered to be dismissed the ser vice. It was possible to make some allowance for the feelings of a father who might conceive that some injus tice had been done to his bon, but at the same time those feelings could form no substantial excuse fora gentleman Putting forward such a'statement as this: Mr. CHAMBERS, Q.C., who appeared for the'defendant, said he was not there either to excuse or 'defend the expressions which were contained in the letters, but he would remind the Court that the defendant had already suffered through his son for this offence, and on that ac count it was hoped the Court would take care to temper justice with mercy in this case. Mr. Justice PArrEsoN delivered the judgment of the Court, and sentenced the defendant to be imprisoned in Exeter gaol for six calendar months. BAIL. COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice ERLE.) DR. ACHILLI AND DR. NEWMAN. QUEEN V. BEVANS AND ANOTHER. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL applied to the Court to have the name of Dr. Newman substituted for those of the defendants in this case. His Lordship was perhaps aware that a rule nisi bad been granted callieg upon the defendants to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against them for an alleged libel contained in a pamphlet which they had published, and which reflected upon the character of Dr. Achilli. Dr. Newman was the author of the pamphlet, and he was therefore anxious that the defendants should suffer no loss or inconvenience on his account. Application granted. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) The November adjourned sessions were opened this day, at Clerkenwell, Mr. Witham presiding, in the ab sence of the Assistant Judge, who is absent through illness. The calendar contains fifty-five names. Alfred Jordan, aged 16, was convicted of stealing 3s. 6d. and other moneys, the property of William Mark lin, from the person of Louisa Marklin, his wife. He as sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment, with hard labour. James Battle, aged 33, and Thomas Wright, aged 23, pleaded guilty to an indictment, charging them with stealing 771bs. weight of lead, value eight shillings, the property of the inhabitants of the county of Middlesex , from the House of Correction, where they were at wo rk upon repairs of the building. They were sentenced each to six months' imprison ment, with bard labour. Michael Mahony pleaded guilty to an indictment for breaking and entering the house of Robert William Turner, and stealing therefrom some articles of silver plate and jewellery of the value of 501. Sentence deferred. Several other prisoners pleaded guilty, and the other cases disposed of were of the ordinary character, with out any peculiar feature. SPOWT IN G N OTES. No. CLVII. ABERYSTWITH STEEPLECHASE, &o. TO THE .EDITOR OF THE SUE. SIR, —During the past weak my usual success attended my efforts on the steeplechases and flat races at the Liverpool and Shrewsbury Meetings. 'At the former, not imagining Lord George would be sent for the Hurdle Race as well as the Steeplechase, I never took his chance into consideration, but gave the race to Little Queen, who was second, placing Fugitive and Half-and-Half as second and third; they were second and third to Little Queen;—thus was I within an ace of placing the leading trio. My selection for the Sefton Handicap, Chief Justice, won cleverly by half a length; the Italian, who I had some fear of, running home in the fourth position. My remarks on the Grand Autumn Steeple chase Handicap were also correct; my fancy horse, Peter Simple, won easily by two lengths, and my obser vation about Lord George being held harmless, was justified by his running third. At the Shrews bury Autumn Meeting I selected Doubt to win the Shrewsbury Handicap, which he did in a common canter by eight or ten lengths, and expected to see the Italian close up—he was third. The Great - Shropshire - Hunt Steeplechase was a bungle altogether, and the less said' about it the better. As I imagined, Tally-ho, with Bst 91b up, was sure to win the County Hurdle Race; this he did by trighteniug everything out of the field and wilkivg osier. The Aberystwith Meeting has only two stakes that require any comment—the Open Steeplechase and the Cardiganshire Stakes. The latter, I fancy, will fall to the lot of SELINA with the Touchstone Gelding and lracundus well up. The Steeplechase will probably be contested ny Hazard, Esmeralda, Little Spice, Kate Kearney, Lottery, Marengo, and the Maid of-all-work. I think it will be no lottery if I h.zard an opinion that HAZARD be first, Esmeralda second, and Little Spice, or Kate Kearney third. To-morrow I shall attempt to equal my past success on the Warwick and Leamington Steeplechases. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. Nov. 17, 1851. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. COURSING.

LIVERPOOL COUNTY COURT' CASE. CONCLUSION OF THE DEFENCE. PRESTON, SATURDAY, Nov. 15.—At the _opening of the court the first witness called was Mr. Ge.)rge Stone, who said he was high bailiff of the Liverpool County Court, and had been appointed by the late Mr. Lowndes. He considered the demeanour of Mr. Ramshay as calm, collected, and dignified. He had improved the mode of conducting business. It bad improved in quality and increased in quantity. The behaviour of Mr. Ramsbay was dignified, and like that of a judge determined to keep order in his court, and make it respectable. Ho had a peculiar mode of shut ting his teets, and people who did not know him thought it was: from bad temper. He did not hear the word " ass" used by Mr. Ramshay. Cross-examined—Had never signed a memorial in favour of another judge, nor suggested a memorial in favour of Ramshay, as a counter memorial to that pre sented against him. Did not know whether Mr. Lowndes ever fined any one. Considered Mr. Ramshay to have the. average temper of men. He recollected an occasion when Mr. Ramshay recommended a poor woman to bring in action fur money misappropriated, and said, it she had not the money Ise would give it to her. Mr. Ramshay he re rose and said—That although he did not wish to volunteer as a witness in his own cause, ho was ready to answer any question put to him. This closed the case for the defence. Mr. Monk then replied on the part of the memorialists. He commenced by deprecating the violent attacks which had laecen made by Sergeant Wilkins on everybody, high and low, and attributed them to a distempered imagina tion. He did not think there was another man in the profession who would have taken a similar course. Al though the inquiry had lasted a very considerable time, the question simply was, whether Mr. Ramshay was fit to be a county court judge? It was his duty to con tend that the evidence he had brought forward proved that he was not. He was certainly surprised that the Learned Sergeant had so virulently attacked the re porters, who were performing a peaceful and useful duty, and who could not make any answer. He had, however, made use of' their testimony when it suited his purpose. He should only refer to portions of the evidence; for instance, he must call attention to the speech of Mr. Ramshay on the 25th Of August. He could only consider that speech as a declaration of war against the people of Liverpool, and as proving the allegation of the memorial—that he was unfit to be a judge of the County Court there. He denied that the press of Liverpool had prevented Mr. Ramshay from performing his duties. The Learned Counsel then de precated the selection of the County Court for the din ner, and' said he did not think Mr. Sergeant Wilkins had justified Abe introduction by Mr. Ramshay of the biogra phical account of his family. He feared that a man so sensitive about his family as Mr. Ramsbay was not fit to be a judge. After seeing the placards, Mr. Ramshay had fined a great many people. Ho believed this fact proved the allegation of the memorialists, that Mr. Ram shay.had an undue notion of his own dignity. The judges of the land never fined people in this wholesale way for a supposed contempt of their persons and con duct. The Learned Counsel, after describing at some length the scene in court when Mr. Whitty was there, contended that there ought to have been some warrant, writing, or authority for his arrest. The case was dif ferent where the contempt was committed before the judge. The case of " the King v. Clement" did not bear upon this case, and the other cases cited were not analogous The Learned Counsel then cited various cases in support of his views. He then argued that the Bending a verbal message was not a good proceeding under this Act. The Act directecLthat all orders and other proceedings of the Court should be entered upon the records, and within the Act of Parliament there was no " order" in this case,.as the Act directed. The attempt to arrest Mr. Whitty, under the circumstances, was utterly unautho rised ; and - the bailiffs might have been treated as tres passers, or even as' Sir George Stephen had advised. The whole question was, whether the bailiffs were au thorised or not ? • The Court here adjourned for a short time, after which Mr. Maule proceeded to defend the witnesses on the part of the memorial from the observations and attacks of Mr. Sergeant Wilkins. He concluded by comment ing at great length upon the evidence, which he said fully supported the memorial.. Mr. Fowler expressed his thanks, and that of Mr. Sergeant Wilkins to his Lordship. The Earl of .Carlisle said he should give his deci sion with as little delay as the importance of the subject warranted. The inquiry then terminated a little before four o'clock. LITERATURE. LIFE. AND ITS LE.SSOiVS. back. By Mrs. Hub 3 Vols. Shoberl. We were much interested, some little time back, by the perusal of Mrs. Hubback's novel, "The Wife's Sister." The main incidents of that story were not of the most pleasing nature, it is true, but the narrative revealed a degree of power on the part of the authoress which led us to expect from her some yet more attractive compositions. We can hardly affirm that "Life and its Lessons" has quite realised our expectations in that regard. The two stories into which it is divided are deficient in that powerful and pathetic interest which gave such a fascination to the former volumes. Nevertheless, these stories have other and, perhaps to some, not in ferior attractions. "Kate Penrose," the first tale, is characterised by its exceeding simplicity, a simplicity not without its charms, especially as regards the portrait of the heroine. An heiress,' married to a worthless fortune-hunter, tho history of Kate, like that of the succeeding heroine, Mildred, is intended as a lesson, and not one of the least important " lessons of life," to young ladies on the choice of a companion. The story of Mildred is more interesting, for,Mildred marries a man whom she does not love, because the individual of her choice has given his heart to her young end favourite sister. Yet in both cases, as Mrs. I: übb ck forcibly shows, mutual misery is the result of marriage entered into without mutual affec tion. The manner of the narration is in both in stances natural and graceful. If Mrs. Hubback will carefully exert her best powers and avoid that mis take which our modern novel writers are so griev ously addicted to, namely, of imagining that a story to be natural must be filled with common-place details, and that simplicity of style is akin to stupi dity, she will, we confidently expect, become a fa vourite with a large circle of readers, and will have no occasion to affix to her name as a title of recom mendation, " niece to Miss Austin." LECTURES ON DANIEL 'and LECTURES ON THE SEVEN CHURCHES. By Dr. Cumming The eloquent lectures of Dr. Cumming upon texts relating to the above subjects have been published in two handsome volumes, and are well deserving of the attention they will doubtless obtain from the ad mirers of the Reverend Doctor. The most valuable characteristic of these lectures is their practical ten dency—they are not addressed to the scholar, but to the multitude. QUAKERISM ; or, the Story .of My We. By a Lady who for Forty Years was a Member of the Society of Friends. " As a fire which has not been stirred," says the authoress in her preface, " will burn away and be come so choked up with ashes as to be incapable of yielding warmth or light, and requires not merely a gentle application, but a strong and vigorous stirring up to dislodge the burnt-out and rekindle the good ,coals, so I conceive the Society of Friends needs a thorough good rousing ; for the ashes have accu mulated, and well nigh put out the fire." •To effect this desideratum is the object of this volume ! how much truth it may contain, and how far it may be calculated to benefit the Society, we, not being in their secrets, cannot pronounce. DEATH OF THE KING OF HANOVER. Yesterday intelligence reached Windsor of the de • mise of Ernest King of Hanover and Duke of Cum berland. In consequence of the melancholy intelli gence, the usual performance by the band on the troops mounting guard was countermanded, and the etiquette on the death of one of the Royal Family ob served. His Majesty Ernest Augustus was the last surviving son of Ring George the Third, and only surviving uncle of her Majesty. He ascended the throne of Hanover on tbe , demise of his late Majesty King William the Fourth, 20th June, 1837, the Salle law (which governs the Hanoverian succession) for bidding a female to ascend the throne. His Majesty was born June sth, 1771, he was con sequently in the 81st year of his age, and the 14th of his reign. By his demise pensions and salaries to a considerable amount, and royal residences at Kew and St. James's Palace, revert to the Crown. The suc cessor to the throne is George, the Crown Prince of Hanover. His Majesty being blind, it is expected that a Regency will be appointed. His Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge being next of kin, will, it is imagined, be called on to fill that office.—Advertiser. FEROCITY OF A Fox.—A few days since a fox entered the house of a man named Murphy, near Dangan, where an infant was asleep in a cradle, both parents being out at the time, and, seizing the infant by the throat, carried it away. An instant pursuit was made, and reynard was compelled to abandon his seizure, but when found the child was dead; the throat was greatly mangled.—Clare Paper. GLASGOW UNIVERSITY.—THE RECTORIAL CHAIR. —lt is understood that Mr. Sheriff Alison is to be re-elected without opposition.—Reformer's Gazette. ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.—The following gentlemen, having undergone the necessary examinations for the diploma, were admitted members of the College at the meeting of the Court of Examiners on the 14th inst.:— Messrs. Edward Ross Prance, East Stonehouse, Devon ; James Edward Tuxford, Boston, Lincolnshire; James Collie, Aberdeen ; Joseph William Eastwood, Chesterfield, Derby shire; William Edward Day, Bristol; James Martin Roche, Fermoy, county of Cork ; and Charles Chibnell, Tothill street, Westminster. At the same meeting of the Court, Mr. James Wilkinson Elliott passed his examination for naval surgeon : this gentleman had previously been admitted a member of the College, his diploma bearing date November 1-, 1847. Erratum.—ln our list of successful candidates published on Thursday last the name of John Black Pater son, of Edinburgh, was omitted. Lira IN THE WEST.—Our Yankee traveller, who saw the live hoosier, has again written to his mother:— "Western people go their death on etiquette. You can't tell a man here that he lies, as you can down east, without fighting.. A few days ago a man , was telling two of his neighbours in my hearing a pretty long story. Says I, ' Stranger, that'e a whapper Says he, 'Lay there stranger !' and in a' twinkling of an eye, I found myself in the ditch, a perfect quadruped, the worse for wear and tear. Upon ano ther occasion, says I to a man I never saw before, as a woman passed, That isn't a specimen of your western women, is it?' Says he,' You are afraid of the fever and ague, stranger, an't you?' Very much,' says I. Well,' replied he, that lady is my wife, and if you don't apologise in two minutes, by the honour of a gentleman I swear that these two pistols, (which he held cocked in his hand,) shall cure you of that disorder entirely—so don't fear, stranger.' So I knelt down and politely apologised. I admire this western country much ; but curse me if I can stand so much etiquette; it always takes me so unawares."—Chieago Democrat. CONSUMPTION OF WINE.—The quantities of wine entered for home consumption in the nine months ending the 10th ult. was less by 52,701 gallons, as appears by the trade and navigation accounts, than the quantities entered in the corresponding period of the preceding sear In 1850 the quantity was in the nine months 5,063,818 gallons, and in the.present year 5,011,117 gallons. The decrease in wine and spirits in the nine months of the present year, com pared with last year, was 125,550 gallons. The principal article that increased in consumption during the Exhibition was tobacco. In the musical circles of Berlin it is reported that Meyerbeer is engaged in composing a comic opera, his first work of the kind. In December last an Englishman named Howard, with a multitude of aliases, was tried before the Tribunal of Correctional Police for cheating at play, by using prepared cards. He was acquitted. As, however, frequent complaints had been made of him to the police, he was ordered to leave France. 'A few months` after it beeame known that he had carried off to England a yang girl, daughter of a lady of some property, and that he had offered to restore her to her mother in return for a sum of motley. Directions were giVen 'that he should not be allowed to return to France; but a short time ago the police, heard that he had come back to Paris. A warrant was issued against him, and a few days ago he was arrested in an isolated house in the Isle des Cygnes, at Neuilly. Yesterday he was tried by the Tribu nal of Correctional Police for violation of the law of the. 3d of December, 1849, relative to foreigners, and was condemned to three months' imprisonment—Galignani. On Saturday evening last a countryman visited Burnley, and was complaining of the trouble a drunken man had given him. "How. do you know he was drunk? " said a bystander. The countryman indignantly replied, , "What could he be else, when. he asked for the shoe-horn to put hie bat on with?

IMPERIAL SALT AND ALKALI COMPANY.---A meet ing in this matter was held on Saturday before Master in Chancery Tinney, when the list of contributories was fuither settled, and instructions taken for the realization of assets from the sale of the company's property. It is understood that the arrangements making are such that there will be a return of money instead of a call on the unfortunate share holders, who were led to believe that "soap" could be made out of" flint." VINES IN POTS.—I am surprised tbat grape vines are not more extensively grown in pots than they are, for they a re easily managed, and bear abundantly; they can be trained round Sticks or hoops, to as to occupy a very small space; and they could be grown by the cottager as well as by the gentleman's gardener. They would present a very ornamental appearance set about a garden or lawn. Some might be removed early into the house, to accelerate] their ripening, and others left out till the last moment; in this way successional crops of this very beautiful and useful fruit might be obtained during a great part of the year.--.Gar data ' - . ~ ,! ... i _ ~. ~. i...i SUICIDE OF LORD DE BLAQUIERE. The lamentable circumstances attending the death of Lord William de Blaquiere, of Beulah Villa, Norwood, Surrey, aged 74, were on Friday investigated before W. Carter, Esq., coroner for West Surrey, and fourteen highly respectable jurors. From the evidence of Caroline Brown, Mary Ann Shaw, Mr. Street (surgeon), and other witnesses, it ap peared that the deceased nobleman had taken up his re sidence in the locality of Norwood for about ten months past. Daring this period his charities and good offices to the poor of the district'had been in accordance with the course, he has invariably pursued. His health had for some time been very indifferent, arising from a lithotriptic disease, but latterly he had been seized with an attack of small-pox—which had evidently affected his Lordship's intellects; but this did not appear to be of a suicidal character, and consequently he was not watched so strictly as might have been seemed neces sary. On Tuesday night last his Lordship retired to rest at an early hour; he awoke at about four o'clock on the following morning, and asked one of his female servants to bring him one of his pistols, which was accordingly done. It was then not charged, but his Lordship desired that his valet, Fran cis Johnson, should be called, and during the absence of the female servant it would seem that his Lordship loaded the pistol with a heavy charge of powder and a large quantity of swan shot, and before the valet could be aroused the report of fire arms created the utmost alarm in the mansion, and on several of the domestics rushing to his Lordship's chamber they found him lying on the ground weltering in his blood. Im mediately the services of Mr. Street, of Nor Wood, sur gedn; were called into'requisition, but before the arrival that gentleman his Lordship had ceased to exist. From a post mortem examination the Noble Lord, it would seem, had discharged the pistol into his mouth, through the roof of which the charge had passed, and several of the shots were found lodged in various cavities of the brain, quite sufficient to cause death. His Lordship must have been a great sufferer from disease, for a cal culus of unusually large dimensions was discovered in the bladder; and this circumstance, combined with the effects of the disease of small-pox, had doubtless pro duced that nervous debility which had so impaired his' Lordship's mind as to urge him to commit self destruction.

I (FROM OUR OWN COR RESPONDENT .) COWES, Nov. 15. COLLECTORS OF RATES.—Our neighbourhood 'has been particularly unfortunate in the it selections lately. Southampton has had four defaulte::s, Newport one, and Cowes one, and this ono the collector of the poor-rate, assessed taxes, highway-rates, ant f property- tax. The collector should have given security to the parish, and it was generally supposed that he had done so, but now that there is a deficiency on the poor -rate of 150/, it has been found out that he had not done it. This town has been so repeatedly robbed by the, parties selected to collect the raga (one; but a few stars since,.took up wards of 9001.), that it is quite unpardonable' that the parish cfficers should have allowed it to happen again, the vestry having resolved that security should be given. TITHES.—The Rev. E, D. Scott has given notice to the tithe-payers of this parish (Northwood), that be will allow five per cent. to all who pay him up all those due on October Ist, if it is done cn or bcfc,re the 26th.

FOUND WANTING.—A t the meeting of the Mechanic's Benefit Society, on Monday last, a bag containing 71/. 10s. in gold, which the stewards thought had been placed in the iron safe on the last club-night, was found missing. For security the iron safe is placed in a wooden chest having three locks; there are three secre taries, each having the key of oue of the locks, so that even the iron safe cannot be got at without the know ledge of all the secretaries. All the locks were locked, but on the secretaries unlocking them the gold was missing, a bog containing between 9L and 101. in silver only was left. The secretaries went together to place the gold and silver in the safe. The - silver was de posited, but it is suppoied that one of the secretaries, by mistake, put the bag of gold into his own pocket. As he is a local preacher, he of course Must have done so by mistake. Still, as he has left the town, and as his wife and children cannot give any satisfactory account of his whereabouts to the police, the members have not all the best opinions of the missing preacher, for whom a diligent search is being made. SOMETHING NEW, AND NOT QUITE RIGHT.—A number of inen were employed yesterday (Sunday) morning filling the ice-house adjoining Trinity Church in this town during the morning service, they having a view of the congregation, and the congregation a view of them daring the whole of the service. We do not recollect an ice=house having beets filled before so early in the season, and certainly pot on the Sabbath-day. We, question, indeed, if any cleigyman or minister ever before witnessed such a. scene from his pulpit in this or any other part of England. . 4 :4X P.M., Nov. 16.—N0 tidings of the Herman yet.

In each of these characters, which he has made peculiarly , his Own, Mr. Wright's raciness and humour have de _ _ lighted the audience. If the reception of this most po puldr comedian has not been so enthusiastic in Sheffield as in other places, or rather if the houses have not been so large as might naturally be expeeted. the fault must be attributed, we believe, to the carelessness of the management. The town was not made acquainted with his 'appearance on the Sheffield boards until the last night or two. How should they? His engagement was not 'announced either in the Times or Independent. This is a practical illustration of the inutility of street pla cards compared with advertisements in papers of large circtilation, which find their way into every house in a district. A placard can only be posted in a small num ber 'pf places; many persons never take the trouble of stopping to read them; they are very soon covered; and we cannot pity the ill success of a manager who has not even studied one of the great arts of good fortun e i n th e present day—the art of attaining universal publicity. The' crowded state of our columns precl u d es a more lengthened notice of the business of the theatre during the present week.—Sheffield Times. E ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—We announced on Friday the feats which had been performed on the preceding day with the new submarine telegraph between the French and English coasts. On the same day the curiosity of pas sengers in Fleet-street and the Strand was attracted by the layink, down of new wires between the City and Charing crosl They are cased in gutta percha, like those of the sub marine telegraph, and l a id i n zinc tubes beneath the outer edge of the pavement, from half a foot to a foot below the surfaje. At the tel egra phi c congress h e ld l ate l y a t Vi enna , it waagreed by the deputies from various lines that the samel alphabet should be used through all the German- Austtian telegraphic union, and that the apparatus in use at Vienna should be adopted. Vienna journals announce, also, that Dr. Steintieil, director of the Austrian telegraphic lines, has discovered the means of causing the electric fluid to travel any diStance, however great, and that as quickly and as safely, as the shortest distances. It has hitherto been found im possible to cause the telegraph to transmit signaltifor a greater distance than a few hundred miles; so that Dr. Steinheil'- discotery is the most important recently made in connexion with this marvellous invention. Being adapted to existing lines, Fall lines may be united, and dispatches can be forwarded from one extremity to the other without any interruption. One iinmense advantage of the discovery will be to prevent delay from the c ro w di ng of dispatches at any particular sta tionas, if they cannot be forwarded by the direct line, th e y can b 4 forwarded just as quickly by any other line, even that whicq may be the most roundilbout. Thus, if the lin es were establiished, a dispatch might be forwarded from London to Paris,' via Trieste or St. Petersburgh, as quickly as by Calais. Dr. Steinhell keeps secret for the present the nature of his discotery.—aforning Paper. • TIE LINEN TRADE.—COIIIIIIOII weft yarns are to be had at present at lid. to Bd. per bundle cheaper than on Friday last, and stocks are so accumulating that several spinners are said to be about to put their mills on short time, to stop further reductions, and keep down th e p r i ces whi c h flax otherwise supposed likely to realize. In cloths there is little, doing. Ballymena market was, on Saturday, ex tremely dull, manufacturers refusing to submit to a decline on the ground that weavers, owing to emigration, are scarce, and that wages are rising; so also in Coleraine and Armagh. In light drills, linen lawn handkerchiefs, and 26 and SO-inch lawns, there is still a good business being done. Damasks and diapers continue depressed. •The latest intelligence from St. Thomas, Vera Crnz, and Tampico is to the' effect that mar kets are flat, the prices unfavourable, and stocks heavy.— Banner of Ulster. NEW CHURCH IN•ST. MARY NEWINOTON, SURREY. —The Lorrimroe estate, the property of the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury, situate in the rear of the Surrey Zoological Gardoins, and abutting on Kennington-common, has for some years, been. occupied chiefly as garden grounds; but during the past and present summers upwards of 1,000 new houses have been erected thereon, and have for the most part be come inhabite,d. Nearly 2,000. more houses are about being built,' and it has consequently been resolved, in order to pro vide for the spiritual wants of this comparatively new town, to erect a new district church, and in the course of the last week workmen, employed by Mr. Myers, the builder and contractor, 'have commenced excavating the foundation. The edifice will be of a neat plain style, and constructed of Kentish rag-stone. DEJANIRA AND HER HERCULES IN SWITZERLAND. —Adelaide Swerte hits just created a terrible sensation in the quiet valley of the Chamouni. Her lover, an apothecary, of the name of Carlh, had allowed her access to his drug closet. In consequence of some deep resentment, treacher ously dissembled, however, the damsel having possessed her self of a quantity of fulminating cotton, introduced it into the lining of a neckcloth, with large folds falling over the breast, and presented it to Carlh on his going out shooting. She had remarked that when, in the enjoyment of his pipe, sparks had often fallen on his shirt front. Not returning to the village, search was made in the mountains, where he was found with his neck and skull horribly shattered. THE CONVICT CAUTY.—This convict, who was not long since sentenced to transportation for the attempted robbery at the Westminster Bank, is now a prisoner in Weltefie'd gaol, the original sentence not having been at present carried out. Through what influence, or from what circumstance, Wakefield should have been chosen as his place of detention, has not transpired. It is only known that Cauty, in the course of his predatory career, was largely connected with gambling-houses, as proprietor and otherwise, and in that capacity became possessed of the notes and cheques of several distinguished patrons of the play fraternity; and it has been surmised that some influ ence may have been exerted in his favour to procure the partial. commutation of his mislauleut. , . EN' GIASH AND' CAMBRIAN ASSURANCE SOCIETY. An c s xtraordjnary general meeting of this society was held at the (Aces of the society, Bridge-street, Blackfriars; on Thursday, the 12th instant, for the purp?se of electing additional directors and making certain alterations in the deed of settlement. Me.' Murray, o ne o f -the afreetori, was called to the chair. Amongst the ,proprie,tors present we noticed the following gentlemen :-;--Mr. Fenning, of Fenning's wharf, London-bride; Mr. - Halse, of Sloane-street; Mr. Whitelock, of Clerken well • Dr. Wane, Mr. Hannam, of Brighton ; Mr. Guy, of Bury St. Edmunds ; Mr. Curtis, of Norwich ; Mr. Lawrance, of the Engineer Li`e Assurance -office • Mr. Chalmers, of the Home of' Commons; Mr. Bra ' dley, of Batter sea; Mr. Middle m i st , o f Milford-wharf;' Mr. Wiz, of Balham ; Mr. Cox, of Great Queen-street , Mr. Ilodges, of h er M a j esty ' s Stationa ry -office Mr. James, Mr. V err ey, M r . Wi ckens, Mr. Busfi e ld, of Penning's- wharf; Mr. Teuton, of Cheapside • Mr. Hughes, of Liineho use ; M r. L ep l astrier, Mr. l‘foz 1 y . Mr. Turner, Mr. 'Willi ams , o f Barnett, Hoares, and' Co., and several others. The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings of the day by calling upon Mr. C. W. Bevan, the manager of the society, to read the advertisement convening the meeting. The CHAIRMAN then briefly adverted to the pur pose of the meeting, and pointed out the necessity that existed to alter several clauses in the deed of settle merit, which he Would read seriatim, and explain as he proceeded. The first clause proposed to he altered was the 13th, which gave power to policy-holders of 1001. to Wend and vote in all the affairs of the society, which the directors considered should either be totally abolished oilimited to a larger amount.— (Hear, hear.) ' ' The clause *as then read, whereupon Mr. JAMES' rose and said that he was sure the direc tors had nothing to fear from the policy-holders. So long as they continued to conduct their business trans actions in the straightforward manner that they did now they would command the support of the policy holders ; but alter this clause as it was proposed from the chair, and that confidence would cease.—(Hear.) Mr. LAWRANCE really did think that the policy holders ought to have the right of voting and speak ing on the affairs of the company, for that was one of the inducements to make investments. His ex perience in these matters satisfied him that it would be unwise to withdraw that privilege, for the mo ment they closed their doors to the policy-holders people would begin to suspect that there was some thing wrong, and they might ultimately abstain from supporting the company.—(Hear, bear.) His im pression certainly was this—if they wanted their bu siness to , go on progressing as it had done already, they ought to court the attendance of the policy holders, rather than shut their doors against them ; and he therefore hoped the meeting would pause be fore they sanctioned the proposed alteration.—(Hear.) Mr. FENNING said the directors of course would be guided by . the wishes of the meeting, and as it seemed to be the general impression that this clause Ought not to be disturbed they were quite ready to withdraw the proposed alteration.—(Cheers.) The motion was accordingly withdrawn. Mr. BEveze said the next clause proposed to be altered was the seventeenth, which related to the number of shareholders who should constitute an ex• traordinary general meeting. At present the clause required that thirty shareholders should be in attend epee before any business could be done ; but as the majority of the shareholders lived in the country tbdre was great difficulty in getting so many together. It was therefore proposed to reduce the number from thirty to twelve, who should represent 6001. instead of 1,0001. of the company's capital.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. WICKENS said the next clause proposed to be altered was the twentieth. The meeting was aware that if an vacancies occurred at the board between the ordinary general meetings the directors had no power to fill them up without calling an extraordinary meet ing for the purpose. Now it was proposed that the clause should be so altered that the directors should have authority to appoint new directers to fill up va cancies, without calling an extraordinary meeting, whose election should be subject to the approval of the proprietors at the next general meeting. It was also proposed to take power to increase the number to fifteen, if it should be so thought fit. A PROPRIETOR asked if that would not add to the expense ? lir. WICKENS—The maximum remuneration of the directors has already been fixed; and, of course, the more new directors the present board appointed the less they would receive, which was an excellent gua rantee to the proprietors that none would be appointed unless they were absolutely required.—(Hear.) It was also proposed to increase the qualification of each director from 50 to 100 shares. A resolution, embodying the proposed alterations, was then moved ,from the chair, and carried unani mously. Mr. BEVAN said, the next clause proposed to be altered, which was No. 42, had reference to the pre ceding clause, and it provided that no proprietor should be eligible for election to a seat at the board, unless he bad held 501. worth of stock for six months previously, a condition which had operated very pre judicially to the interest of the company, since it not unfrequently happened that a man of eminence and standing in the commercial world was disposed to join them, but he could not do so owing to this re striction under six months.—(Hear, hear.) If, for instance, they had the chance of getting a Rothschild to join them, he could not do it for six months, and therefore it was proposed to alter the clause so that a proprietor who held 100 shares should be eligible ten days after' ho had signed the deed of settlement.— (Hear, hear.) A resolution authorising this alteration was pro posed from the chair and carried unanimously. Mr. WICKENS said clause 44 was admitted to be an error in the original deed, and the clause as it now stood was contrary to the Act of Parliament. Speak ing of the persons eligible to be elected as directors, it referred to them as " duly qualified policy and shareholders." Now, inasmuch as the Act of Parlia ment restricted the directors to shareholders only, this was clearly a mistake, and it was therefore proposed to remedy it by striking out the word " policy: Mr. James remarked that policyholders were ad mitted to be shareholders in mutual companies. Mr. Wicxerrs—This is not a mutual company. A resolution authorising the alteration was then proposed and carried unanimously. Mr. Wicxaas said the next clause proposed to be altered was the one relating to the qualification of auditors. It provided that the auditor, previous to his election, should have been a holder of 10 shares for six months previously, and it was now proposed to reduce the time to ten days, and increase the number of shares to 25.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. JAMES hoped the alterations would not apply to the present auditors. Mr. WICKENS said it would not. The proposal was then put to the vote and carried unanimously. Mr. WICKENS said—By clause 157 no proprietor could hold more than 5001. worth of stock. It was proposed, however, to repeal that clause, and allow any one to hold as many shares as he thought proper. Mr. LAWBANCE—Let him have them by all means, —(Hear, hear) • A resolution was passed, like the others, authorising this clause to be struck out. Mr. WICKENS said he had another clause to suggest to the meeting. As the deed of settlement stood then there was no power to cancel shares, and it was pro posed to insert a clause, providing that in the event of the calls on any shares remaining unpaid for a cer tain time, or the holders of any shares becoming in solvent, the directors should have power, after due and proper notice, to cancel such shares.—(Hear.) Mr. LAWRANCE apprehended that there would be no objection to extend the period for payment if the party holding the shares applied for it ? The CHAIRMAN—None whatever. A resolution was then passed, sanctioning a clause to authorise the directors to cancel all shares which should remain in arrears for six months. This closed the business of the day, so far as it re lated to the alteration of the deed of settlement. The Chairman, however, announced that under the exist ing laws of the society it would be necessary to hold a pro forma meeting this day fortnight, to con firm the alterations. The following gentlemen were next unanimously ,elected as directors, namely :—Robert Chalmers , Esq., of the House of Commons and Thurloe-square, Ed mund Bick Bradley, Esq., of B a tt ersea; Robert. L aw Middlemist, Esq., of Milf or d Wh arf; Samuel Wix, Esq., Balham. Mr. James Hutton, of 46, Moorgate-street Public accountant, was also unanimously elected to fill up the vacancy in the number of auditors occasioned by the election of L. Middlemiat, Esq., to a seat at the board of directors. Mr. BEVAN said the substantial proceedings of the meeting being now at an end, I may, perhaps, be allowed to state the exact position of the society and the progress which it has made since last meet ing.—(Hear, hear.) We met here, you will re member, on the 26th of July last, (our annual meeting), since which period we have got rid of 1,000 shares, and upon referring to the books, I find that from that date, up to the 12th of No vember instant, we f received 141 proposals for po licies, 106 of which have been accepted.—(Hear.) Of those proposals 98 were accepted at t_he ordinary rates, and 11 declined. — (Hea r, bear.) Twenty-four are now waiting for examination, and yesterday as many as 20 proposals were brought before the board, as your chairman can confirm and your books will show.—(Hear,-hear.) In the time I have mentioned we have, in point of fact, issued 86 policies and ac cepted 106 proposals : 20 are now actually b e f ore your board, and I have not the least doubt whatever that before next week is ended, we s h a ll h ave I issued ;ante thin 0110 rileY day glace the list meeting.—(Hear.) If you doubt the accuracy of what I state, here is the policy-list to confirm what I say.—(Hear, hear.) We now number 360 policy hoider3.—(Hear.) And now, gentlemen, with regard to our local branch at Norwich, we have beard from our friend; Mr. James, that some of the oldest and wealthiest of the iginiance offices dO nothing like the amount of business just stated by me.—(Hear, hear.) I was also told, yesterday, by our representative at Bury, Mr. Guy, who is present here to-day, tat a large office in his locality, with the advantage of an enormous capital and a fire business, and com prising persons of position and influence, and loag resident in the district, had only obtained two new life-policies from his town, last year; whereas we at that town alone have issued double that quantity at - least in the short time we have been represented there. Now, adverting again to Norwich, we have, since the month of June, received fifty-three proposals from Norwich alone, nearly all of which, at the present moment, have been completed. Tait' will be sufficient, I trust, to show that we are well established there. —(Hear, hear.) Oar income from that branch alone produces upwards of 200/. a year, and with a branch like that in every town of importance in the United Kingdom, would ba sufficient in itself to make this establishment one of the first in the country.—(Hear, bear.) I believe an office of some standing, numbering some thousands of proposals, owes its succes s chiefly to this system—l refer to the National lon Fund Office.—(ilear, hear.) Since I joined this scciety, on the 27 ti :Nov. 1850, not quite a year, I fladi:our receipts during that period have equalled, it . not exceeded, our actual expenses.—(Hear, bear.) Of course, I d o not refer to any expenses incurred previous t o my joining Those must be, and hav e b een, o c i o n u iP s g ide tp e e d society. typreliminary expenses, e and I app ea l w i th confidence to you to say whether e this is not a most satisfactory p " (li ear, hear.) Indeed, M r . L awrence will bear me out. Mr. LawaiNcE—Hear, h ear t Mr. BEVAN-- And he, gentlemen, has had some ex perience; but I will quote a still higher authority than him. I will appeal to the Govern men t ac tua r y, h Mr. A. G. Fi n l a i son , for corroboration of d state ; if I mist a k e no t h e w i ll tell you that it w " at d most encouraging position.—(Hear, bean) * in e a Mr. LAWRANCE—I certainly must say the amount of business is to me very surprising, when icon sider the small ness o f th e expenses.—(Hear Mr. BEVAN—A s a ver ifi cat i on of the fact j ar.) .ll refer you to our book s as th e b est answer I w-1 Call gi ve you.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. JAMES then claimed the attention of the meet. ing while he moved a vote of thanks to the direct ors for the very businesslike and efficient manner in which they had managed the affairs of the society. The vote was carried by acclamation, and after. wards a similar compliment was paid to the Chairman personally. The CHAIRMAN was rejoiced to find that the pro. ceedings of the board met with the universal ap proval of the shareholders. Their approbation was the only reward the directors coveted, and now that they had achieved it, the shareholders might rest assured that it would have the effect of stimulating their exertions for the future.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. VERRET said they ought not to lose sight of the eminent services which Mr. Bevan and Mr. Angus had rendered them. Their businersnke con duct ought to be noticed on that occasion, and he had, therefore, much pleasure in proposing that the cordial thanks of the meeting be presented to those gentlemen for their past services.—(Hear.) The motion was carried by acclamation. Mr. BEVAN, in returning thanks for himself and his colleague, said no exertions would be wanted on their parts to promote the interest of the Society so long as they all worked in harmony together.— (Hear, hear.) He was quite certain the business of the society would be carried on with energy and spirit, and he had little doubt that by the time they met in July next their income would be upwards of 5,0001. a year.—(Cheers.) The proceedings were then pronounced to be at an end by the Chairman, and the meeting, which was exceedingly unanimous throughout, broke up. EXHIBITION OF 1851. STATEMENT OF THE ORIGIN, PRESENT POSITION, AND PROSPECTS OF THE COLLECTION, NOW IN COURSE, OF FORMATION BY THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. As many inquiries are being constantly made of the Executive Committee as to the object of the collection in course of formation, and as to the position in which it now stands, they bare deemed it advisable to preparOthe following statement. On the stl<t of July, 1851, her Majesty's Commis sioneriauthorised an official applicati on t o b e ma d e to exhibitors for specimens of the raw produce and.:manu factures exhibited by them, with a view to the future establishment of a commercial museum. It was at that time considered that such a collection would form an, interesting record of the Exhibition of 1851, and, conelluently of the state of industrial science in that 3 ear; silo that it would nut at first be so exten sive hut That it could he contahed in n good sized room. But the numerous lull liberal contributions of the exhi bitors, both of Great Britain and foreign countries, have graeu3lly extended the scope of the collection, and, in tact, made it the germ of what may become, not merely interesting to the statisticians of future agaS, but of,thst which may satisfy a great public scant in this metropolis, viz., a trade collection of the imports and exports of the world, where men of husißess may txaroine and precti call,y teat samples of thosu articles in which they aro trading. Thit . i . direction has been already given to the colleetion by the important contributienz if exhibitors of all coun tries, many of whores have tiepesited valuable articles in the huudi of the Executive Committee, with the cer tainty that it will, be a means of bringing the produce of their mines, cultivation, or workshops before the notice of the mercantile and general public with even a more permanent advantage to themselves than has been derived from the Exhibition which has just closed. The destination of such a collection, as well as:the further development of the undertaking, are, necessarily, subjects for future consideration; but, i n the meantime, the Executive Committee consider it their duty to aid, dO far as their authority extends, in satisfying the desire so universally expressed to them; and it must be obvious that the fate of such a collection must entirely depend upon the interest which the public of this and other countries take in it, and individuals will be able to judge for themselves whether, after this explanation of the present state of the matter, they do or do not wishjo be represented in the collection. In order to guard themselves on the one hand against overstepping the limits within which their action is con fined by her Majesty's Commissioners, and, on the other hand, against disappointing the expectation of the public in forming this collection, the Executive, Committee have la , d down for themselves and their cfficers the following principles:— l. That the collection should comprise samples of all articles of trade. 2. That, for the present, exhibitors only in the late Exhibitiue will be permitted to contribute to the col lection. 3. That antiquities, curiosities, and articles relating only to pure science are inadmissible, there being already places far better suited to the reception of such things than what it is now contemplated to establish. 4. That as it is to the interest of the public that those articles only shall be received which it would be of advantage to the producer to supply, no exhibitor should be pressed to contribute to the collection. 5. That the question of presentation should be resolved only with reference to the point whether it is of any value, in a commercial point of view, for the public to know that A. B. produces such an article in vetch country. 6. "lhat it shall be quite at the option of the deposito r to a ffi x to his article all necessary information in regard to price, process, amount of production, 7. That the presentation of objects fs to be absolute, it being clearly understood that her Majesty's Com missioners are invested with the power of disposing of the articles in the way which, in their opinion, may be most advantageous to the public. Secretary to the DIGBY ExecuWtive Committee. Nov. 1851. SINGULAR CIRCUMSTANCE. -0a Sunday last the Brecon police apprehended a man of the name of David Jones on suspicion of murder. The following is an outline of such particu'ars as we have been enabled to collect. One Sunday in May last, David Jones and John Phillips went coursing in Llandefalle Common, when the dogs killed a sheep belonging to Mrs. Smith, of that place, who having heard of this, sent to the boy John Phillips to know how): happened and promised him if he would tell the troth she would not punish him. This the boy did, and as shae.:_! i n t end e d to punish Jones, the boy was to be a witness ag ai ns t On the following day (Monday) . both Jo nes an a nd Phillips p y there.
