The fourth half-yearly general meeting of this com pany was held this afternoon at the offices in Old Broad street; John Cattley, E.g., presiding. The report stated that it had been arranged with the authorities to adopt a gauge of five feet six inches; that the works under contract were beirg proceeded with as rapidly as the arrangements incidental to such works at their commencement would admit, and that the board of directors have entered into contracts for a large portion of the permanent way material, some of whi:th has already been delivered in Calcutta, the remainder being in course of manufacture and shipment. The CHAIRIIAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said the directors had received the reports of the en . gineer, from which it appeared that the works on that part of the line already contracted for, were, on the whole, progressing very satisfactorily. A SHAREHOLDER inquired whether a contract had been entered into for the remaining fifty miles? The SECRETARY replied that a letter received by the last mail stated that a contract fur the remaining por tion was now in active preparation. The CHAIRMAN observed that one-third of the earth work under the two contracts, for the 40 and 37 odd miles, had been completed. No lees than 9,000 men, exclusive of bricklayers, other artizans, and superinten dents, were employed on these works; and the share holders would, therefore, understand that the greatest progress was being made. He was glad to find the public were now beginning to look welt upon the com pany, the shares having lately risen to a premium. The motion was then agreed to, and after a vote of thanks to the directors for their services during the past half-year, the meeting separated. GREAT LUXENIBURG RAILWAY (THIS DAY.) A meeting of the shareholders of this company was held this day at the offices of the company, preparatory to the general meeting of the company, to be held in Brussels next month. Mr. Masterman in the chair. The CHAIRMAN opened the proceedings by reading to the shareholders the con vent i on l ate l y en t e red into with the Belgian Gover nment, on w hi c h t h e Bill in the Belgian Chambers had been founded, and proposed to the meeting a resolution to confirm the same. This convention he explained to the meeting was extremely advantageous to the company ; containing a guarantee of four per cont. on the extension from Namur to Arlon. The capital required fur this extension it was proposed to raise by dividing the present shares into two, on one of which no further calls would be made, but it would bear interest on what was paid; on the other half, however, which would be liable to calls, extraordi nary advantages would be conferre , i. It was not, how ever, proposed to make this division without first con sulting a committee of shareholders. After some discussion the resolution was agreed to, as was also a second resolution, appointing a committee of sharehoMers, to inquire into tiie financial proposals of the shareholders, and the meeting then separated.

DREADFUL THUNDER STORMS. oo Wednesday evening heavy masses of clouds passed over Derby towards the east, and shortly afterwardavivid flashes of lightning were seen in the distance.

Hail and rain tell in great quantities, and we have heard of cattle beit ' , destroyed by the lightning in several parts of this and adjacent counties. At Staveley, a young man named Renshaw, of Wardthorp, was killed. It appears that the deceased and a labouring man were what is called " topping up" a haystack, and had only about half the waggon load to put on to accomplish it, when Renshaw was struck dead and the man knocked down and for a short time remained in sensible. The horse in the waggon shafts was also knocked down but not hurt. Young Renshaw's "billy cock" vas shivered to pieces, and his clothes on one side shattered as if pigs had gnawed them. His boot-top was cut off to the ankle as if with a knife, Mr. G. Shaw's house roof was stripped of two rows of tiles, and some of them were found across the road, a distance of more than twenty yards. Yesterday morning a storm passed over Darby, with out doint , any injury. One flash of lightning was in ufantly f:Ilowes1 by a terrific peal, which startled the inhabitants. The rain fell in torrents. At Willington, e t: few miles from Des by, a woman was struck down, and three colts were ki I l e d — Derby R poster. SEABUKINIE MAILS.

On Monday last the foundation-stone of a Baptist Chapel was laid at Westow-hill, Norwood, by W. B. Gurney, Esq., who delivered a deeply interesting address on the oc casion. The atte , dance was exceedingly numerous, and as the day was very fine tea was prepared under a tent near the site. A talented and suitable sermon was preached in the evening by the Rev. J. Aldis, of Maze Pond. The subscrip tions for the erection were headed by W. B. Gurney, E N lOU, Josiah Tritton, Esq., 1001., and already amount to about 5001. The light fingered gentry took a lively interest in the proceedings, and managed to ply their vocation with such success that several ladies and gentlemen were relieved of their purses and watches. ABSCONDING OP A PARISH OFFICER AT NEW CASTLE-UPON-TYNE. —A considerable sensation has for the last few days been excited in this town from the report that Mr. John Scott, assistant overseer for the parish of St. Nicholas, a collector of the property and income-tax and assessed taxes, had absconded with a sum of from 3,000/. to 4,0001. On Wednesday week, it appears, he left home on a visit to the Exhibition, and was to have returned on the fol lowing Sunday or Monday. Not making his appearance on either of these days, his friends became alarmed, and his wife, night after night, waited in vain his arrival at the railway station. At length their suspicions became excited, and his continued absence having come to the ears of the church wardens and overseers, a consultation was held on the matter, and ultimately his books were examined. As collector of ' the property and income- tax it was found th a t he ou g ht t o have in Lambtons bank the sum of 1,9001. ; but on inquiry there it was found that that sum had been drawn out in different amounts on the three or four days previous to his leaving Newcastle. The extent of his defalcations, as assis tant overseerand collector of assessed taxes, is sot yet known, but it is supposed to be considerable. On Friday evening last his wife received a letter from him from Southampton ; and though the contents of it are unknown, it is generally understood that long before this he has made his exit from the country. lie has, up to the present time, borne an irre proachable character, and was much respected in the town, having held office as a parish officer many years, and also carried on the business of a pawnbroker. AUSTRIAN TTRANNY.—The newspapers announce that Madame Anna Zerr, who made so successful a debut at the Royal Italian Opera a few weeks since, as the Queen o f Night, in Il Flauto Magico, has been deprived of her diploma as one of the singers at the Palace, and has been prohibited from appearing at the Vienna Opera, because she assisted, while in England, at a concert for the benefit of the Hungarian rearm—Literary Gazette. TUESDAY EVENING, AUGUST 19 1851. ASSILik INTELLIGENCE. WESTERN CIR , UIT.— Bristol, Aug. 18. (Before Lord CAMPBELL and ft Special Jury.) the facts stated in the opening speech of the Learned Coun,,d. Mr. GROVE, for the defendants, in a v,ry able speech, denounced the attempt of the plaintiff to pre vent the amusements of the humbler classes. He said that the only object of the plaintiff was to obtain a pecuniary compensation from the company, and he maintained that the defendants had a perfect right to use the hike, their own property, in any way they thought proper. Mr. Justice WIGHTM&N told the jury that with re gard to the rights of property he thought the de fendants hed made out their tile, and it was for the jury to say whether in the use of that property the defendants had interfered with the plaintiff's undis puted right of fishing over the lake, or had been the means of causing such annoyance to the plaintiff as would amount to a nuisance. The law would clearly deem it to be a nuisance in any way to collect such crowds of people in the neighbourhood of a man's house as to obstruct the thoroughfare, or to incom mode him in the enjoyment of his home. Tne jury were absent for about three hours, when they returned into court and announced they could not agree; and ultimately, by arrangement 4-tween the counsel, it was agreed that they should be dis charged ; the defendants' undertaking to be continued until a further order of the Court could be obtained. POLICE INTELLIGEN CE. WANDSWOIII H. THE ROBBERIES ON THE LONDON AND S MTH WESTERN RAILWAY.—Charles Whitcher, aged 40 years, a greengrocer, of No. 14, Church row, Aid gate, was again brought before Mr. Beadon, fur re examination, on various charges of robbery of valu able property to the extent of several hundred pounds from the above line of railway. Mr. Games was present to defend the prisoner. Mr. Crombie (from the office of Messrs. Benham and Co., the South-Western Railway solicitors) said he intended on that occasion to open a new case against the prisoner for being cons•-rned in the rob bery of a quantity of ribbons. Mr. Saward, a linen draper, of the Commercial-road Est (who has been liberated from custody on substantial bail until the 26th instant, on the charge of having received a por tion of the stolen property—namely, the mousselines de laMe and merinos), had purchased a quantity of them, and when the officers applied to him for that information necessary to complete the charge, they received nothing but abuse, and his conduct was quite contrary to what was expected. Under these circum stances, he did not think it advisable to enter into that case at present. The only additional witness examined was Richard Curtis, who stated that he managed the business of Mr. James Taylor, a calico printer, of Wood-street, Cheapside. In December last he re ceived ad►ices from his employer's brother, at Ring wood, Hampshire, that a box containing a quantity of hosiery and gloves would be sent to them by the South-Western Railway. Witness did not receive the box, and he accordingly wrote to Mr. Taylor, who sent word by return of post that the box of ho siery and gloves had been sent by the railway in the usual manner. Witness made inquiries of M-ssrs. Chaplin and Horne, the carriers, and also at the Wa terloo station, and on the 20 , h of the same month a box was delivered at their premises io Wood-street. On openieg the box it was found to contain, instead of the hosiery and gloves, an empty box, and a tin oil-can. The box (it will be remembered that some of the witnesses stated on the last occasion that the bi,x was lying about the goods station, at Nine Elms, for s - veral days, and was considered as an empty one) was produced, and the witness identified it as the same one that was brought to their premises. He also stated that the box was the one tnat had been sent from Ringwood, and which ought to have contained the hosiery and gloves. In arp:w.r to a question from Mr. Games, Mr. Cromble said that evidence would in substance complete the hosiery case against the prisoner. He should not bind himself down not to produce any other witnesses in the case ; hut if there were any fresh ones to examine he would send and give him notice. Mr. BEADON observed there would be the prisoner Plampin to examine on the next occa-ion, and be would have to give evidence in all the robberies. Mr. Crombie then applied for another remand. Mr. BSADON said he would remand the prisoner until Tuesday, the 26th instant, the day appointed for the final examination of Seward, and he hoped the railway authorities would come prepared to complete the whole of the cases. He should devote the entire day to the matter, as the other court would be pre sided over by Mr. Long. Mr. Crombie was of opinion that the clerk would be more than one day in reducing the minutes of the depositions. BBADON said be would give as much time to the cases as it was possible. He was quite alone at that court, his colleagLe, Mr. Paynter, having taken his holidays. Air. Crombie said a habeas corpus was lodged o❑ Saturday last for the production of the prisoner Plampin, who would be brought to that court from Winchester Gaol on Tuesday morning, the 26th inst., i❑ time to give evidence against the prisoner. The prisoner was then removed in custody. Mr. Crombie applied for a summons for the attend ance of the witness Senior, the landlord of the Black Dog public-house, Crown-street, Finsbury, who gave such doubtful evidence in respect to the alleged introduction of Plampin to Saward. Mr. BEADON immediately granted the summons. THE CHARGE OF CONSPIRACY AND CHEATING AT PLAY AT BRIGHTON. An application was ma le yesterday at the Town. ball, Brighton, on the part of two of the prisoners charged in the above case, viz., J. Broome and Staden. The magistrates present were the chairman (C. Carpenter, Esq.) and J. Borrer, Mr. Sill, on the pa r t o f the prosecution, stated that he had received notice from Mr. Lewis, that Charles James Kemp, of the Queen Elizabeth Tavern, Asylum-road, Old Kent-road, licensed victualler, and Simnel Genese, of 12.5, Jermyn-street, St. James's, dealer in jewellery, would he proposed as bail on the part of Broome; and that William Sparks, described as of 25, Oxenden street, Haymarket, builder, and Henry Nottidge, described as of 2, Allington• street . , Pimlico, gentleman, would be propostai as bail on the part of S'aden. No notice ef bail, it was stated, bad been given on the part of the other prisoner, Jules. Tne parties natn..d as bail were then tailed, but none appeared, although notice was given fur one o'clock, wid it was then half past that hour. Mr. Sill said he had no wish to take the parties by surprise, and that he would wait for any length of time the Court might think reasonable. Mr. L -wis said that one of the bail, Mr. Genese, had been in court, and would, no doubt, presently make his appearance. Mr. Genetic shortly afterwards entered the court, and having been sworn, said that he was a dealer in jewellery, and resided at 125, Jermyn street, St. James's ; that he was a housekeeper there, and was worth 1001., after the payment of all his debts. H e stated that the lease of his house and his furniture w as worth somewhere about 5001, and that his stock of jewellery, watches, clocks, and silver was worth about 7001. or 800/. Mr. Sill then proceeded to cross-examine the wit ness, and in answer to his questions, the witness stated that he had been five or six years in a small way of business, and that he had been for the last seven years in a large way ; also, that he dealt in such jewellery as came into the market from pawn brokers' sales, besides others. He farther added that he did not keep a jeweller's shop, but that he kept a coffee•shop and chop-house, and that he did his jewel lery business in the back•room adjoining his shop, and on the first floor. After answering several questions as to the nature and the value of his stock, the examination proceeded as follows : Have you ever been convicted by the Inland Board of Excise for selling spirits without a licence ? —I was. Did the sale of those spirits take place at 125, Jer myn-street ?—lt did. Is not your house, 125, Jermyn-street, the nightly resort of prostitutes ?—Well, there are men and women come there. I have no right to say they are prOstitutes. Don't you know that these men and women are gamblers and prostitutes ?—No. I know the gentle men who come to my house not to be gamblers ; they are men of property and gentlemen. Are not the women reputed prostitutes ?—I object to answer that question. Do the police ever visit your house ?—Every night nearly ; and I have been there nearly three years and never bad a complaint against me. Did you ever let off the upper part of your house —Never. Are you the landlord of any house in Duke'• court, Drury- lane ?—No. Not of No. 9 or No. 12 ?—No. Do you know No. 9 or No. 12, Duke's-court, Drury-lane F—l do. Have you anything to do with either of them ? Not hing. Do you know whether either of these houses is at present to 114?-1 do not. Upon your oath, sir, is not one of those houses at present to let, with a reference to yourself ?—Upon my oath it is not, with either my knowledge or my sanction. Had you ever any interest in a brothel in Georg- street, St. Gt ?—N yen Nor was so yesterday ?—Nor was so yes`erday. Did you ever live in George-street, St. Giles's ? Never. Di'l you ever keep a house there ?—Never. Upon your oath did you not keep a brothel in George. street, St. Giles's ?—Upon my oath 1 did not. Never ?—itever. Was tne, OpiJrr virt of your bons , i Je , ornyn-street ever let for glinbling puvposi-s —Since I have taken it, three years ego, no one has ever occupied it but myself and family. Was it ever used for gambling purposes I'—Never since I have been i n it. Has the upper p).rt ever baeo entered by the police ? —Tne poiict wiiik up when they come in of a nigh to see whu may be there. Have not the police pointed out to you women 35 reputed p ostitutes ?—I don't recollect their ever doing so; if they had I should have put the parties out. Will you swear ghat they have not repeatedly done so ?—ldo swear That they have not repeatedly done so. Will you swear thy they have never done so? --In three yer's I can't recollect, but I never - recollect such a circumstance. Willy ou swear that they have never taken out of those ro om m P—l will swe a r th a t no man bail ever been taken in custo d y t h ere, un l ess i t has b ee n at my charge. Have y ou ever ch a r ge d an y p erson w i t h gam bling • —No. gamblers Don't you sell the jewellery you have been speak ing of to the men wh o f requent your h ouse, t o give to the women who fr equen t your h ouse ?—l don , know. I sell it to the men who frequent my house, and what they do with it I don't know. I bal e frequently seen them wear watches and rings I hav e sold them. Do you know the prisoner Broome P—l do. Is he not an intimate acquaintance of yours?"' Not particularly. I know the man. Does he ever frequent your house ?—He comes sometimet, not very often. By night P—Yes. Alone or in company ?—I don't know. Sometirne s he may come i n i n company w i t h some one, b u t WI visits are so seldom I can't say. Re-examined by Mr. L-wis—Mr. Genese, have been asked several questions. Now, are r" upon your oath worth several thousands of p ou nds ? I am. Mr. Lewis was then about to address the Court in support of the bail he had tendered, when Mr. Sill objected to his right to do so, and Or some discussion, The Chairman decided against Mr. Lewis being heard, as being contrary to practice. Mr. Lewis submitted that the respectability of the witness, relative to which some questions bad bee? put, had nothing to do with the point at issue- 411 i sufficiency as hail. The Cnairman considered it was most important th e respectability of the bail should be inquired into, 5° that they might have a certainty of the prisoner beir4 forthcoming. Mr. Lewis contended it was enough that the wi t ' ness proved he was of sufficient substance. SupP° ses for instance, he lodged 1001. la Mr. Borrer, one of the magistrates, said he W° ll by no means consid e r th a t to be sufficient. In the present instance the party tendered as bail bad bee described as bri ng a jewe ll er, and i t turned ou t tb)t he kept a coffee and chop, house. In his (Mr. BO r ° rer's) opinion the b 4.11 ought not to be accepted. . Tne Chairman said h e qu i te concurr , d i n t h a t o r nion, and the bail must, Therefore, be refused. Some converastion having taken place between the solicitors as to the notice to be given relative to the psrtirs to he prop :seri as bail, Mr. Sill intimated that under the c i rcu mstance s he would not at p resen t go i nto anot h er case aws iPit one or the prisoners, whi c h h e WAS prepare d to brim) forward. that Mr. Lewis co m pl a i ne d o f t h e adopt i on o f course. ea Mr. Sill con s id ere d b e was exerc i sing a B°ll- discretion. ['tie inquiry then terminated. Inspector thway was present, by order of th e Commissioner" of Police to watch the proceedings.

MANAGEMENT OF LOVE AFFAIRS. I've heard folk say that the witnmin was contrary. Well, they is a leetle so; but, if you tnanige 'tm right—haul in here, and let 'em out there—you can drive 'em along without whip or spur, just which way you want 'em to go. When I lived at Elton, there was a good many fust-rate gals down there, but I didn't take a likin' to any of 'em till 'Squire Cummins cum down there to live. The 'Squire bad a mighty purty darter. If a fellow seed her once, he couldn't look at another for a week. I tuk a likin' to her rite off, and we got as thick as thieves. We used to go to the same meetin', and set in the same pew. It took me to find saws and hims for her : and we'd swell 'em out in a manner shockin' to hardened sinners; and the❑ we'd mosey home together, while the gals and fellers kept a looking on as though they'd like to mix in. I'd always stay to supper; and the way she could make injin cakes, and the way I could slick 'em with merlasses and put 'em away, wag oothin' to nobody. She was dreadful civil, tew, always gettin' somethin' nice for me. I was up to the hub in love, and was pin' into it like a locomo tive. Well, things went on in this way for a spell, till she bad me tight enuff. Then she began to show off kinder independent. When I'd go to the meetin' there was no room in the pew; then she'd streak off with another chap, and leave me sucking my fingers at the door. Instead of stickin' to me as she used to do, she got to cuttin' around with the other fellers, just as if she cared nothin' about me no more—none whatever. I got considerably riled, and thot I might as well cum to the end of it at once ; so down I went to have it out with her. There was a hull grist of fellers there. They seemed mighty quiet till I went in ; then she'd got to talkin' all sorts of nonsense, and sed nothin' to me. I tried to keep my dander down. I kept movin' about as if I had a pin in my trowsers. I sweat as if I had been thrashin. I couldn't stand it, so I cleared out as quickly as I could, for I seed 'twas no use to say nothin' to her. I went straight to bed, and thot the matter over a spell. Thinks I, that gal is just train' of me; 'taint no use of our playin' possum. I'll take the kink out of her. If I don't fetch her out of that high grass, use me for sausage-meat. I heard tell of a boy wonce that got to skewl late in the mornin'. The master sez— " You sleepin' critter, what has kept you so late ? "Why," sez the boy, "its so everlastin' slippery our, I couldn't get along no how; every step I took for ward I went two steps backward; and I couldn't have got here at all if I hadn't turned back to go t'other way." Now, that's just my case. I've been puttin' after that gal a considerable time. Now, thinks I, I'll go t'other way. She's been slitein' of me, and now I'll slite her.. What's sass for the goose is sass for the gander. Well, I went no more to Nancy's. Next Sabbath day I slicked myself up, and I do say, when I got my fixins on, I took the shine off any specimen of human nature in our part. About meetin' time, off I put to Elthum Dodge's Patience Dodge was as nice a gal as you'd see twixt here and yonder, any more than she wasn't just like Nance. Ephraim Mussey was used to go and see her. Well, I went to meetin' with Patience, and sat right. afore Nancy. I didn't. set my eyes on her till after meet in'. I kept my eye on Nance arter meetin', and seed how the cat was jumpin'; she didn't cut about like she had, and looked re; her solemnly ; she'd gin her two eyes to kiss and make up. I kept it up till I was like to have got in a mess about Patience. The critter thot I was goin arter lur for good, and got us proud as a lame turkey. One day Ephe came down to our place, lookin' as wrathy as a militia officer on a trainin' day. " Halloa !" sez I, " what's broke ?" " Why," sez he, "I came down to have satisfaction about Patience Dodge. Here I've been courtin' her ever since last year, and she was just as good as mine till you came a going after her." " Why," sez I, what on airth are you talkin' about ? I aint got nothin' to do with your gal : but 'spore I had, there's nothin' for you to get wolfy about. If the girl has taken a likin' to me, 'taint my fault ; and if I have taken a likin' to her, 'taint her fault ; and if we have taken a likin' to each other, 'taint your fault. I aint so taken with her, and you may get her for all me ; so you hadn't ought to got savage about nothin'." _ _ _ That tickled him, and away he weat, a little better pleased. Now, thinks I, its time to look arter Nancy. Next day, down I went; Nancy was all alone. I a,ked her if the 'Squire was in. She said he warn't. " Cause," said I making beleev I wanted him, " our colt sprained his foot, and I cum to see if the 'Squire wont's lend me his mare to go into town." She sed she guessed he would—better set down till he cum in. Down I sot; she loeked kind o'strange, and my heart felt queer on the edges. Arter a while sez she— " Air you goin' down to Betsey Mastin's quiltin'?" Sed I—" Reckon I shall." Sed she—" I s'pos you'll take Patience Dodge ?" Sed I —" I moight, and again I moight not." Sed she—" I heard you're agoin' to get married." Sed I—" Shouldn't wonder a bit—Patience is a nice gal." I looked at her—l seed the tears a-coming. Sed I—" May be she'll az you to be bridesmaid." She riz up—she did—her face as red as a boiled beet. " Seth Stokes," seu she, and she couldn't say any more, she was so full. " Won't you be bridesmaid ? " sez I. "No," sez she, and she burst rite out. " Well, then," sez I, " if you won't be bridesmaid, will you be the bride ?" She looked up at me—l never seed anything so awful putty—l took rite hold of her hand. " Yes, or no, rite off," sez I. " Yes," sez she. "That's your sort," sez I, and I gave her a buss and a hug. I soon fixed matters with the 'Squire. We then hitched traces to trot in double harness for life, and I never had cause to repent my bargain. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COUR"' OF BANKRUPTCY, Aug. 18. (Before Mr. Comtnissiouer FAN.S.) IN ItE B. 11AYE8. The bankrupt was a draper in Regent-street and Pimlico. There was a meeting fur the choice of assignees. From a statement furnished by the ac countant in the cares (Mr. Butler), it appeared that the bankrun , 's debt*, focluding to the ex tent of 1,453/, are 3,732/. ; his assets, 1,140/. Mr. Bull, of St. gartin's-unte, was chosen assignee. INSOLVENT DEBToIf.S' COURT, Aug. 18. (Before Mr. Commissioner LAW.) IN THE MATTER OF JAMES ELLIS. This insolvent, who formerly had Cremorne Gar dens, and latterly the Flora Gardens, Camberwell, ap peared to be discharged on sureties till his hearing in September. Mr. Cooke supported the application. An attorney, named Bursell, attended to oppose on the part of Mr. Thomas Foulkes, ttie detaining creditor. Mr. CooKE objected to the appearance of Mr. Bursell, as he was not the attorney of Mr. Foulkes in the action on the record on which the insolvent was in prison. Mr. Commissioner LAW was of opinion that the objection was a good one. The Court had allowed attorneys to oppose on account of the short notice given, which did not admit of time to instruct coun sel. The object of that permission was not to allow attorneys to usurp the privileges of the bar, as was the practice in some courts, but to allow the attorneys to oppose. That rule, however, did not enable any attorney to oppose simply as the advocate of another, but was a permission to the attorney on the record. The opposition was not allowed, the sureties were accepted, and the discharge ordered. MARYLEBONE COUNTY COURT, Aug• 18 ALLDER V. YEOMAN. This action, it may be remembered, led to an ap plication for a criminal rule in the Court of Queen's Bench, against Mr. Amos, the Judge of the Diary lebone County Court, for corrupt practices in his office as j udge, and which application was unanimously refused by the Court, with full costs. To-day Mr. Amos gave judgment for the plaintiff, ordering 71. 7s. to be paid on the 16th day of September next, but refusing the costs. After entering into the merits of the case at great length, Mr. Amos concluded by saying: The prosecutor of the rule in the Queen's Bench has sent me a message, expressing his contri tion, stating that he was led into the proceedings en tirely by the instigation of his counsel, otherwise he would not have thought of any step of the kind, and offering certain terms for the payment of the taxed costs of the discharged rule, amounting to 26/. 16s.— about half the actual costs. I have signified that I am not unwilling to grant him much more lenient terms than he offers, and to renounce all claim to be reimbursed my costs, but upon conniton of a certain mitigated payment being made into the poor-box of this court. Dr. Schlegel traces the disposition to commit suicide among the English, Germans, and Russians, to intemperance, in France to love and gambling, and in Spain to bigotry. A curious fact is me nt i one d i n t h e N ort h Americanllettsew— that in the week which followed the t:rawing of the last ottery in England, titty suicides were committed. A man pledges himself to swim from Dover to Calais, according to a letter dated Vienna (Aug. 10), where he is at present. He offers to wake from 50 1. to 1.0001., a , ainst all corners, that he will do this in the month of August or September; the money to be deposited before hand with a Loudon banker. He has already swum, ac cording to his own account, from Vienna to Presburg, down the Danube. FOWLES V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. Sergeant Kinglake and Mr. Stone were coun sel for the plaintiff; Mr. Ball and Mr. Smith for the defendants. This was an action brought against the Great Western Company as common carriers. The decla ration alleged that the defendants, as such common carriers, received a certain box, containing a variety of articles, to be conveyed from Bristol to Brompton, and that they did not use proper care and diligence in the conveyance of the same, but on the contrary, let the box fall, by which means the articles in the said box were broken and darnsgeti, and the plaintiff in consequence sustained great damage, and was un able to carry on his busieeis and calling as a lecturer on natural philosophy. The defendants pleaded ten pleas—amongst others, that the packages contained glass to a greater amount than 101.; also that the in jury occurred owing to the improper manner in which the box was packed; and also that the box contained articles which ought not to have been packed toge ther. This was en action brought by the plaintiff, who was in the habit of travelling about the country lecturing on natural philosophy, and the box in question contained various articles of glass and different apparatus which he used fOr experiments with which to illustrate his lectures. On the Ist of May last, five packages were delivered at the Great Western Railway station at Bristol, directed to the plaintiff at 10, Montpelier row, Brompton, marked " glass, with care," and 10s. 3d. paid for the carriage thereof. On the 31 of May, when the goods were being delivered at 13rompton, the carman let one of the packages fall, and the artices which it con tained were thereby broken and injured. The plain tiff made many applications to the company, and offered to take 151. for the damage, and 10 guineas for the loss he should sustain in not being able to perform his engagements to lecture in various parts of the country which had been advertised. Upon an occasion of his calling at Paddington, he saw a Mr. Drew, an official of the railway ; being rather deaf, the plaintiff had taken a friend with him, but Mr. Drew ordered him out of the room. Mr. BALL, for the defendants, took many technical objections to the plaintiff's right to recover, which were overruled by Lord Campbell. The defence set up was that the packages were safe when delivered to the carrier in London ; and the carman was called, who swore that he delivered the packages all safe at Brompton. It was stated by Mr. Drew, the official of the company, that he had offered the plaintiff 51. compensation, but the plaintiff demanded such a sum that he "pooh, poobed it." He denied, on cross examination, that he had ordered the plaintiff's friend out of the room, but admitted that he had " requested" him to leave. Lord CAMPBELL, in summing up, expressed regret that the small sum originally asked for had not been accorded by this great company to the plaintiff for the injury that his goods had undoubtedly received. As a judge, he felt it his duty to express his opinion of the conduct of the official of the company, Mr. Drew. It was most unfair, most unjust, and most discreditable. It was a perfectly fair and legitimate course for the plaintiff to adopt, to take some witness with him. Mr. Drew knew he wes a competent wit ness for the defendant, and he also knew that the plaintiff's mouth was closed as to all that would take place at that interview. Ile would not allow him to have the advantage of a wi!ness who could testify as to what took place between them ; therefore he wa' entirely at the mercy of the conclave of officials then present. He again said that he hoped so unfair a course would not be repeated by the officials of any rail way company, and he thought no jury would be inclined to favour those who pursued so very discre ditable a course. His Lordship then went throne , he evidence on both sides, and left it to the jury to say whether or not the plsin:iff had made out his case, and if so, what damages he was entitled to. The jury found for the plaintiff—Damages 451. Lord CAMPBELL then said that this was the last case of the circuit; and he was so much pleased with the manner in which the business had been conducted at Bristol, and with the intelligence of its juries, that he should have much pleasure in coming here again next summer. NORTH WALES ClRCUlT.—Chester, Aug. 16. CROWN COURT'.—(Before Mr. Justice Lee- FOURD.) William Doran and Thomas Sharpies were in dicted for warehouse-breaking at Macclesfield, and stealing a quantity of manufactured silks, the pro perty of Goldthorpe, Hoy ley, and Co., and Thomas Fenton stood charged with receiving the same, know ing the goods to be stolen. Mr. Trafford and Mr. Wynne Ffoulkes appeared for the prosecution ; and the prisoners, who severed in their defences, were represented by Messrs. M'ln tyre, Brandt, and Sweetenham. The case presented no features of general interest. It appeared that shortly after the warehouse was broken open and the goods stolen, a quantity of the property was found by the police in possession of the prisoner Fenton, who carried on the business of a ge neral broker in Manchester. He at first gave unsa tisfactory accounts of the manner in which he became possessed of the goods, but eventually he stated that he bought the goods of the prisoners Duran and Sharpies, who had been introduced to him by a con federate named Shaw. They were all apprehended, and Shaw being admitted approver, and his story corroborated in some material points by others, they were all found guilty. Doran and Sharples were then sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment and hard labour, and Fenton to be transported for seven years. With this clossd the business of these assizes. The boy Skeen, aged 9 years, who pleaded guilty to an indictment for placing a dangerous obstruction on the rails of the London and North-Western Railway, as reported on a former day, was sentenced to nine months' imprisonment. NISI PRIUS COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WiGiurmAN and a Sprcisl Jury.) DOSTOCK V. THE NORTH STAFFORDSHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY. This action was of a rarger novel character, being directed by Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce, to ascer tain the right of the defendants to hold regattas and other public amusements on the Rudyard Reservoir or Lake. near Leek, in this county. Mr. Evans, QC., Mr. Welsby, and Mr. Pulling appeared for the plaintiff; Mr. Grove and Mr. Brava❑ for the defendants. Mr. EVANS stwed that the plaintiff, Miss Bostock, Was a lady of rank and family, living at Cliffe-park, near Leek, in this county, an estate of great beauty and value, situate on the borders of the princely, sequestered reservoir or lake, which formed the subject of the present dispute. Miss B.)stock de. rived the property from a Mr. Haworth, who had built the mansion-house and laid out the grounds many years ago, and the property had before belonged to his ancestors. The defendants were possessed of the property of the now defunct Trent and Mer sey Canal Company, who, having been authorised in 1766 to form a canal, obtained powers in 1797 to form a reservoir of water for feediog the said canal, and formed in the Rudyard Valley the reservoir which formed the subject of this action. By the Acts of Parliament of the company, they were authorised only to use the canal for the purposes of navigation, and the reservoir for the purpose of supplying the canal with water, the rights of fishing, shooting, digging mineral, using pleasure boats, stud a number of other rights being expressly reserved to the neigh bouring landowners. The reservoir had been gra dually extended over the valley until it formed an extensive lake two miles in length, copiously supplied with fish and water-fowl, and became an extremely picturesque ohject in the valley, in the midst of which stood the plaintiff's mansion and park, beautifully si tuated and remarkably retired. So matters remained until the present year, when the North Staffordshire Railway Company thought proper to make up their then dividends by advertising in flaming handbills a se ries of cheap excursions along their line to the Rudyard Lake, a regatta to be held on Easter Monday, with sports of all kinds, music, steam-boats, firing of guns, &c. Miss Bostock and several of the neighbouring land owners expostulated, bat without avail. The regatta took place, and with an invasion of 6,000 people of all kinds from the manufacturing districts the jury might imagine how little the privacy and comfort of the plaintiff could be consulted. The vast crowd came, the quiet reservoir became a scene of tumult, amid the hissing of the steam-boats, the firing of guns, and the shouts of the people. Miss Bostock's park was unreservedly trespassed upon, crowds scaled the walls and fences of the park, broke down the trees, and, last though not least, openly insulted, by obscene and abusive language, Miss Bostock and her friends. The company's agents were expostulated with, but without avail, and a long correspondence took place, which, however, did not end in any very satisfactory manner. On Whit Monday, however, the company advertised a second cheap excursion t o R udyard Lake, and Miss Bostock's friends took the alarm, and Commenced the necessary proceedings to obtain an injunction, which, however, could not be applied for in due time to save the fete being held, and it was arranged to postpone the application. The second regatta was therefore held, and the same consequences nearly ensued as those already described as having taken place on Easter Monday. In June the motion was made for an injunction, and the Vice-Chanceller K. Bruce directed the present action to be brought to try the right; the defendants undertaking in the mean time not to bold regattas or public amusements of any kind on the leke until the present action was tried. Miss B ,stock did not now ask for damages, but she confidently looked for such a verdict as would secure her property from the serious injury it would sustain by a continuance of the defendants' conduct.
