On Wednesday a lecture onat the subject was deli vered by a Mrs. T. C. Foster, eHanover-square Rooms, to an audience composed of about an equal number of both sexes. The lady lectur er wel comed with applause on h er entrance, atid:,V e an her was lecture by stating t hat she had no de sire to ix r u e p . with the question o f female costume an ything lating to that which some lecturers on the s u bj ect had styled the rights o f women. After alluding to the despotic nature of fashion, Mrs. Foster noticed the changes which had been produced by it in female attire in this country, more particularly since 17M. She briefly noticed the absurdities of fashion that ex isted in the days of Elizibeth—tho gigantic ruff and lengthy stomacher, and contrasted with them the comparaqvely elegant and simple female costume that prevailed in the latter part of the reign of describin g Charles I. tion of She then gave a charming descrip tionthe female dress in the .time of Charles 11., it as not modern costume, which for ease and elegance had yoattiosn o inc f e th b e ee d a res e s qu in al t l h ed e . tirn S e h o e f I t v h i e l n noticed the alter . liam and M ar' the . of Anne, .ntroduction of the monstrous hoop in th e re i gn 17. and illustrated the ampli tude it attained in thatbya painting of a lady at tired in the fashion ofday. Other illustrations . were exhibited, displaying in n all their deformity the i towering and artificial head-dress of a later day, and the short waists, or rather no waists, and coal-scuttle bonnets in fashion at the beginning of the present century. She then touched upon the Bloomer costume, and, with a modification, pronounced in its favour. Wishing to speak to the eyes of her audience as to the merits of this costume, she gave a living illustra tion of it, and, having retired, re-appeared in a rich velvet walking-dress in the Bloomer style, with the skirts considerably longer than they appear in any representation of that costume which we have yet seen. A description of the inconveniences attending the present style of the female dress and a condemna tion of the system of tight-lacing concluded the lec ture, which on the whole was an amusing one. THE SUN, LONDON, FRANCE. The Pays thus appreciates the relative positions of the President and what we must now call the late majority : " The state of things has become revolutionary, thanks to the law of May 31; the discussion in the Chamber yesterday hid warned of it, and the reading of the re port of M. Darn confirmed the idea. In the discussion on the disturbances in the Allier, no one was in his natural place; neither the majority, no longer finding its expression, its echo in the Ministers of the executive power, nor the President of the Assembly, holding up the Government in the person of the Minister of the Interior to the ridicule of the majority; nor the Govern ment, hesitating between the majority, which it wishes to bring back, and the minority, which it must seek to rally; nor the Opposition itself, wavering between the necessity which momentarily attaches it to the Minis try, and its principles which lead it against all the former acts of the Government. Thus it was yesterday a real confusion of tongues in the Chamber—a real want of all parties no longer able to find their standard. The law of May 31 causes a kind of ♦ertigo in the Assem bly. We saw one Minister applauded by the Opposi tion, and another provoking the applauses of the Majo rity. It was in ♦ain that the Minister of Public Instruc tion said that the policy of the new Ministry would be the same as that of the old one. From the denegations of the whole Assembly the Minister must have under stood that he was labouring under a complete delusion. Between the two Cabinets there is all the distance between the maintenance and the repeal of the law of May 31—that is to say, an impassible abyss. Circumspect as the language of the Mi nistry may be towards tho majority, it will change nothing in the position of things, and will have no other result than to compromise the two powers in mutual concessions, which become impossible. The Ministers would in vain promise the majority to cause the law of May 31 to be respected, if it should be main tained. That is no longer in their power, and in pro posing the repeal of that law, the Executive Power has lost the moral force which it would require to secure its maintenance. All condescensions would only servo to compromise men without changing anything in the ne cessity of things. They may besides have for result to authorise the majority in persisting in its obstinacy, by making it hope that the Executive Power will abandon its initiative. This:prescription on the subject of the law of May 31 evidently weighed on the discus sion which preceded the reading of the report of M. Daru. It was like a sort of preliminary skirmish, in which all parties sought their road without any one being able to find it." The Patrie says—" A considerable number of re presentatives belonging to the majority of the As sembly assembled to-day in the Ist bureau. After a long discussion it was decided that if the principal points of the law of the 31st May ought to be maintained experience has, nevertheless, shown that it is susceptible of useful modifications. The meeting agreed that the discussions on the Bill of the 4th November offers an immediate, natural, and regular opportunity to discuss the amendments of which the electoral law is susceptible. The meeting, faithful to the sentiments of conciliation by which its members are always animated, declared that it would vote that the Assembly should decide on a second reading of the Government Bill." We read in the Bulletin de Paris:— " The speech of the President of the Republic on Sunday has produced the best effect on the army. The officers of all grades, non commissioned officers and privates, are all enthusiastic in their praise of the language of the nephew of the Emperor. The reception at the Elysk, on Monday was therefore very brilliant. Never was there so great an affluence of generals in the salons of the President, and the members of the diplomatic corps who were present may tranquillise their Governments respecting the dan gers of the situation, and respecting the disposition of the French army." This speech will, it is said, be made the subject of interpellations in the Assembly. General Lamori ciere will ask the Minister of War what is the mean ing of the phrase " Follow me," addressed to the troops by the President when the Constitution ex pressly forbids the President of the Republic from ever personally taking the command of troops. GhttIVIAN Y. A letter from Berlin, Bth, says—" The Minister of Finance has formally declared that he has re nounced the idea of giving in his resignation. We learn that our Government is the only one which still admits any rights to the Duke d'Augustenbourgh, but if he will not accept an equitable indemnity, the Prussian Cabinet will not be disposed to struggle any longer for the secondary rights of the house of Au gustenbourg. The Government has just addressed to the different states of the Zollverein an invitation to send a plenipotentiary to the Customs' Congress, which is to assemble here next year. Tne invitation is accompanied by some propositions, on which the Prussian Government wishes to have the opinion of the different states before the meeting of the Con gress. The letter will be shortly published." THE TYROL. FEARFUL INUNDATIONS. Intelligence from Innspruck of the 4:h states that the battalion of infantry and the staff were delayed 36 hours by a heavy fall of snow and the accumu lated mass of snow on the road. The accounts of the inundations caused by the overflowing of the rivers from all parts of the Crown lands are very di3tress ing. In many parts dreadful devastations have been caused. In Murburg the largest bridges have been carried away. The rushing masses of water as they passed through Murburg carried with them gigantic trees, which were torn up by the roots, fragments of houses, mills, carriages, timber, utensils, boats, and numerous animals. The inundation which caused these fearful disasters appears to have been caused by the bursting of a water-spout in Carinthia. Many places in Carinthia are quite destroyed, churches and hospitals were broken down by the fury of the water, and were speedily reduced to a mass of ruins. Many corpses have been found in the Tyrol—whole districts have been swept away—the telegraphic lines have been destroyed, partly by the water and partly by the fall of immense masses of snow. The mails have been stopped from nearly all parts of the country. The accounts from Agram are of the same melancholy character. The rise of the waters nine and ten feet above the ordinary water-mark, combined with heavy falls of snow and the accumulated masses of water rushing impetuously from the mountains, have caused incalculable damage. NEWSPAPER SUBSCIBERS IN AMERICA. COLLECTING THE ACCOUNTS. _ The following amusing account of the sort of pa tronage of which the newspaper press in America can boast, appears in a number of a "far West" journal which has just reached _us. It is no wonder after reading the report which follows of the progress made in collecting the subscriptions, that our American contemporaries should eulogise to the third heavens, as the noblest being in creation, the " man who pays for his paper." The collector, it will be observed, reports progress to the unfortunate newspaper pro prietor : _ _ - I have just returned from a tour through this state, and proceed to furnish you with an account of my labours and their success. I have been gone for three months, and assure you, in all sincerity, that I am fully satisfied. You furnished me a list of one hundred and seventeen owing subscribers, as you will recollect. I have called upon one hundred and four of them, and have the honour of paying over to your order three dollars and twelve and one half cents., being the amount to which your are entitled. I re turn you the list, numbered from one to a hundred and seventeen, and now give you the reply of each : No. 1.--Is a minister. He says in the first place, he never got one half of the numbers (a lie accord ing to the account of the postmaster), and in the next place, your joker's column was too scurrilous. He can't think of aiding to sustain a paper that adver tises horse race and gander pulling. Besides, he knows from the tone of your editorials that you drink and paying you would only be the means of your ending your days in the kennel. lie wonders at your impudence in sending him this bill, after publishing the great prize fight between Left-handed Smoke and Battering Bill. He wants nothing to do with you— never wants to hear from you again. No. 2.—ls in gaol for debt. He has not seen a half-dollar for a year. Says he would pay with the utmost cheerfulness if he only had the money, but had to borrow a shirt to put on last Sunday. Admires your . paper wonderfully, and hopes you will con• tile sending it to him. He wishes you to take a with gentlepna;enrsi,nhehihsopsietsuathtiaotny. bold stand in favour of the abolition of imprisonment for debt, as he think it would be a very popular move en joy your lucub . rations. Sends his best respects. any more postage is paid, as otherwise he will bou 'ei If yllouunseaebs No. 3.—lt is a young doctor. Says your paper is beneath the notice of a gentleman. Would'nt give a -- for a cartload. Says you inserted an article refLcting on the profession.. Only wishes he could catch you here. Is going to persuade everybody that takes your paper to sto . p it. Cursed your bill, and says you may collect it in the best way you can. No. 4.—ls an old maid.. Says you are always taking a _fling at single ladies of au uncertain age. letehn ad tot himth Wouldn't pay you if she was rolling in wealth, and I you hadn't cash enough to buy a crust of bread. Sent all the papers she had back a month ago, and says now that she sent them back, she don't owe you anything. Says she is even with you, and intends to keep so until the day of judgment. Asked me not to forget to tell you that you are no gentleman, or you wouldn't undertake to slander a large and re spectable class of the female population of the country. No. s.—ls a gambler—a sporting gentleman—says he got completely cleaned out last week at the races. Couldn't accommodate his grandmother with half a cent, if she was starving. Likes your paper tolerably would like it better if you publish more races, and would occasionally give an account of a cock-fight.

LIBEL—O'REILLY V. CHURCHILL. This was an action brought by Mr. O'Reilly, of John street, Adolphi, against Mr. John Churchill, publisher of tho Medical Times, for an allegk-d libel in that journal. Mr. Humphreys, Q C., and Mr. Mathews appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Phipion for the defendant. Mr. liummuErs said the plaintiff was formerly an assistant sPcretary to a society called the Medical Pro tection Office, under the management of a Mr. Breary. This society having been broken up in consequence of pecuniary difficulties, plaintiff was about to establish another society of a similar kind, called the Medical General Agency Office, for the purpose of protecting medical men from the frauds practised upon them, and enabling them readily to recover debts due from their patients. The following remarks were made respecting the plaintiff and the new society in a letter published in the Medical Times, from a correspondent signing him self " Philo":— _ " I understand, Sir, notwithstanding all you have written [respecting the Medical Protection Society], one Mr. O'Reilly, the managing man of Mr. Breary's office, and, as I am told, the getter up and factotum of the celebrated Mail Delivery Office, had the audacity to attempt the establishment of another Medical Protection Office, somewhere in the locality of Foley-place, and that he actually sent round circulars to the profession, and found men silly eneugh to confide their accounts to him for collection. This hornet's nest must be dispersed, and every member of it driven beyond the limits of the profession. If the profesion honestly wish to dissociate themselves from disreputable connexions, and to protect their own interests, they will effectually put down all such attempts as those I have referred to. • • . . I say, then, to all nay brother members, rally round the Medical and Surgical Practitioners Society, and defeat all the efforts made by cunning adventurers to impose upon your confidence. As en evidence of what this new society is doing, it has collected for me since its forma tion 12i., from among a mass of debts which, while in the hands of the defunct Medical Protection Office, brought me exactly 12 pence." The publisher of the paper had decliced to give the name of the writer of the letter, and the action was accord ingly brought against him by the plaintiff. The sting of the libel was the allusion to plaintiff's supposed con nexion with the Mail Delivery Office, which was pure invention of the writer's; the other statements in the letter were hardly less calculated to injure the prospects of the plaintiff, who was endeavouring to earn his live lihood in an honest and upright manner. Mr. T.Simmonds was then called. He knew the plain tiff when he was a clerk in Mr. Breary's office, and he had no doubt he was the person to whom ho had re ferred. . . Cross-examined by Mr. CHAMBERS—Was clerk in the Medical Protection Society's-office, 43, Lincoln's Inn fields, which had been established since the former society broke up, an assignment having been made from one: - to the other. Witness and plaintiff were both clerks in the former office, of which Mr. Breary was the head. Had just seen plaintiff and Mr. Breary together ie the hall. Mr. Breary had now an office in John-street, Adelphi, for the discovery of lost addresses.—(A laugh.) Know that a great many debts had been collected by the Medical Protection Society which had never been paid over to the parties to whom it was due. The society's books had been lost, and were afterwards found by a waterman in the Thames. The books were in the care of a youth about nineteen years old. Was aware that many subscribers called for their debts, which had been collected and were not paid. Their complaints were numerous. Did not know that cheques were re turned dishonoured from Messrs. Dixon, their bankers. Payments were sometimes made by the clerks down stairs drawing cheques upon Mr. Breary, who was up stairs. These cheques were sometimes crossed by the clerks. Was aware that the Medical Times had pub lished an admission of their error with regard to plaits tiff's connexion with the Mail Delivery Office. Plaintiff had told witness that be was not satisfied with it. By Mr. HUMPHREYS—PIaintiff was only a clerk in the Medical Protection Office. He had nothing to do with their pecuniary deficiencies. Certain charges had been brought against plaintiff, but he denied them all. Mr. CHAMBERS commented upon several portions of the witness's evidence which identified the plaintiff with the Medical Protection Society, an d contended th a t th e Medical Times was only discharg ing a publio duty in warning the profession against being induced to trust their accounts to him for collection, as there could be no doubt that he was a party to the serious defalcations of the former society. He urged that nothing had been brought forward to show that the Mail Delivery So ciety was one of such a nature as to render it libelous to connect the plaintiff with it; and that the other re marks in the letter were only such as a public journalist was fairly entitled to make respecting the establishment of a society under very suspicious circumstances. His LORDSHIP having briefly summed up. The jury found a verdict for th© plaintiff—One farthing damages. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Nov. 13.: (Before Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS.) IN THE MATTER OF VISCOUNT DE SEGUEVILLE. This insolvent, Charles Hypolitua Mansell, Vis. count de Segueville, applied under the Protection Act for his final order. Mr. Cooke opposed for Captain Bristow ; and Mr. Nichols supported. The case has been before the Court on some former i. occasions, the last time in July, when the discharge was ordered, and tha present hearing appointed for the final order. The point now raised wl►s that a debt of 2001. had been incurred with Captain Bristow, without reasonable or probable expectation of pay ment. It appeared that the insolvent had been the mana ging director of the Duisburg Iron Company, which failed through the political state of Germany a few years back, and the affairs of the company were now before one of the Masters in Chancery, under the Winding-up Act. He obtained 2001. of Captain Bristow on, it was alleged, some scrip of the com pany, but the insolvent alleged that it was a private debt, to assist him in the formation of the same. Be sides the debt, Captain Bristow had been put to about 801. law expenses by the insolvent pleading to an ac tion he brought against him to recover the 2001. Mr. COOKE thought that the costs so contracted for the vexatious defence might be considered as a debt incurred without probable expectation of payment. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS said the Legislature had omitted a vexatious defence from the Protection Act. It was certainly an anomalous state of things that in the other Act, under which a man could not apply without going to prison, it should be an offence, and that under this indulgent Act, which was avail able without imprisonment, it should be omitted. It was certainly very strange ; and as it was omitted he could not consider that it came within the section of contracting a debt without reasonable or probable ex pectatio❑ of payment. The insolvent, on his arrest in May last, petitioned under the Protection Act, and applied for his dis charge before hearing. He was opposed on the part of Captain Bristow, and his application was refused, on the ground that the debt had been incurred with out reasonable expectation of paying it. Ile remained in prison until the end of July, when he applied to be heard, and was not opposed. On that occasion he was discharged, and had remained at large till the present occasion, when he applied for his final order. Mr. COOKE thought the Court had exceeded its duty, as the discharge should not have been granted till the final order. Captain Bristow was out of town, and had not opposed when the application was made. Mr. Commissioner Primal's was of opinion, as there was no opposition when the application was made, that the insolvent was entitled to his discharge. Mr. CooKE still urged upon the Court that the 2001. debt had been contracted without reasonable ex pectation of payment, and referred to the insolvent's schedule and the debts he owed at the time he ob tained the advance. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS, without deciding whether the money was advanced on scrip or as a pri vate debt, was of opinion that, looking at the debts the insolvent owed, it was incurred without reasonable means of payment. He could not consider that the the expectations of the insolvent, as to certain specu lations, were to be considered reasonable. There was no fraud in the case, but he could not grant the final order. At the rising of the Court, the Learned Comms- SIONER said he bad considered the three months' im prisonment the insolvent had already suffered, and he might come up in a week. The insolvent asked for protection. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS told him he would willingly give it, but he had no power , he might come up on Thursday next for his final order. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. William Griffiths Kemp, a porter, was placed at the bar before Alderman Sir Robert Carden, charged with forging a cheque for 391. 10s., in the name of William Palmer, draper, of 18, Aldgate, with intent to defraud the London and Westminster Bank. Sir R. W. CARDEN said he thought the prisoner had been made the dupe of some designing person, and therefore remanded the case for inquiry. WORSHIP-STRgE7'. A middle-aged man, named John Jeffries, described as a hawker, was charged before Mr. Hamlin with an assault of an aggravated description upon a young married woman named Elizabeth Edwards, residing at Baden-place, Hackney. The complainant stated that while standing at the door of her house about three o'clock on that after noon, the prisoner came up with a bundle of hearth brooms, which be offered for sale. She told him she was not in want of such articles, and attempted to close the door, but the prisoner forced it open, and, following her along the passage into the back kitchen, immediately made overtures to her of the most scandalous kind. The prisoner at the same time placed a shilling on the table, and offered to present her with one of his brooms if she would comply with his wishes, but she indignantly repelled his importu nities; and on telling him that she would give him into custody unless he instantly left the house, the prisoner threatened that if she ventured to do so he would charge her with having robbed him of the shil ling. He then endeavoured to lock the door, but sbe succeeded in preventing him from so doing, and at tempted to escape from the room to raise an alarm, but the prisoner caught her firmly round the neck, and proceeded to the commission of acts of the grossest description. After a violent struggle she succeeded in disengaging herself, and hastened into the street, followed out by the prisoner, who walked rapidly away, but she pursued him until she met with a police man, and gave him into custody. The prisoner, in an impudent manner, cross-ex amined the prosecutrix, with a view to prove that she met him the same morning at a public-house in the neighbourhood, but she positively denied that there were any grounds for such an imputation. Police-constable 67 N stated that upon the prose cutrix giving the prisoner into his custody she appeared much alarmed and agitated, and that on taking the latter to the station, he said that he was sorry he had not met him first, for he would then have given her into custody instead for detaining a shilling. The prisoner was about to enter upon a rambling and irrelevant defence, but was stopped by the magis trate, who told him that he had better reserve what he had to say, as it was his intention to commit him for trial ; but he should order him to be remanded till Saturday, for the completion of the depositions. FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 14, 1851. LAMBETH. John Mason, alias the Rev. William John Butler, alias the Rev. Charles William Talbot, alias Blind Johnny; Jane Ferrar, alias Fisher, alias Farr, and Elizabeth Thomas, alias Wood, who have been before examined upon various charges of imposition, were again placed at the bar before the Hon. G. C. Norton. — Several cases against the prisoners have already been reported, into which it is unnecessary to enter again. The additional evidence to-day merely related to the taking of lodgings in Lambeth-square; but the magistrate, in the course of the proceedings, took oc casion to complain of the dress of the prisoners in Horsemonger-lane Gaol being changed before trial, so that it was difficult to identify them. The prisoners were remanded for a week. Mr. Roberts, who attended for the prisoner Ferrar, applied for the restoration of a savings-bank book be longing to her, and was told by the magistrate that it had been taken from the other female, for whom he did not profess to attend. SOUTH NARK. Richard George Irons, a surgeon, residing at 201, Bermondsey-street, and George Bonney, of West moreland-place, City-road, were placed at the bar before Mr. Combe, charged with stealing four sove reigns and two half-sovereigns from Frederick Ogden, a coal and coke merchant, of Burton-street, West minster. The complainant stated that on the previous even ing he called on the prisoner Bonney, who is his cousin, at Westmoreland-place, City-road, and was there introduced to the other prisoner. He afterwards ac companied them to the house of the latter, in Ber mondsey-street, where they had some supper. Soon afterwards he (complainant) felt indisposed, and men tioned the facts, when Irons immediately said that he would make him up a little medicine, which would soon put him all to rights. He (Irons) then left the room and soon returned with a draught, which complainant, at his request, swallowed, and in a short time it had such a narcotic effect as to send him fast asleep. He awoke in about an hour, and missed four sovereigns and two half-sovereigns from his waistcoat pocket, which he felt safe, and counted about ten minutes before he went to sleep. ii e was quite confident he had the sum mentioned when he entered Irons' house. At the period when he a wo k e Irons was absent from the room, attending to a patient in an adjoining room, and when he returned, e om . plainant told him that his money was gone, that it was taken out of his waistcoat pocket when he was a s l eep , " and added, Irons, you have taken it as a joke, re. turn it, and no more will be thought about." H e , however, in reply, denied t hat h e knew anything about it, said that he had no money about hi m , an d that he would not mind being searched. The com plainant added that he then went to the door and called a policeman, and gave both his c ous i n (B onney ) and the doctor into custody. Although he had in cluded Bonney in picking in the charge he did no t b e li eve h e was concerned his pocket, f or it was d one when that person was out of the r oom . Th e reason he gave him into custody was on account of his being in company with them during the evening. Among the sovereigns taken from his pocket was an old one with George and the Dragon on it. He had drank some brandy and water with the pri sone rs on the way from IS' estinoreland-place to Irons' house in Bermondsey-street, but was perfectly sober. Mr. COMBE said that as the complainant had by his statement exonerated Bonney from any participation in the alleged offence he should discharge him, and he might call him as a witness. Bonney then quitted the bar and went into the wit ness-box, when he said that soon after the comp'ainant had taken the draught administered by the prisoner he fell asleep, and he (witness) left the room two or three times, and stood outside smoking a cigar. The prisoner was in and out of the room, on occasions, to attend to patients who called for medicines, but he (witness) knew nothing of the alleged robbery. :He added that he had known the prisoner for some length of time, and always considered to he a respectable man, and that he had introduced the complainant, who was his cousin, to him on that account. Policema❑ Irvine, 222 Ni, stated that he was calk d by the complainant, who gave the prisoner and Mr. Bonney into custody fir robbing him of 51. He (the policeman) asked the prisoner if he had done it, and he said that he had not, and added that he had no money on him but some silver. When taken to the station-house, and on being examined, there were found in the prisoner's pocket four sovereigns, one of which was an old one, with a George and the Dra gon on it, a half sovereign, and 18s. in silver. Mr. Comenn said that he had no other alternative but to send the case before a jury. The prisoner, who seemed very much agitated, hoped that it would not be considered necessary to adopt such a course, as it would totally ruin him in his profession ; that he had no assistant at home to look after his practice, which ho would lose entirely if be was sent to prison. Mr. COMBE said that he had no objection to accept bail for the prisoner's appearance to answer the charge at the sessions, and that the amount of his sureties would depend upon his situatio❑ in life. The magis trate thsn asked him some questions, which he an swered, by asserting that he was a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Dublin, and he also mentioned the names of some professional men in London, to whom he was known since he commenced practice in this country. Mr. COMIIE said, under such circumstances, he would accept two sureties of 1001. each, and himself in 2001., to appear at the next sessions. The reason he called on the prisoner for such heavy bait was on account of his condition of life being above that of the common run of offenders. If the accused was in an humbler station of life than he represented, he should not have required sureties to such an amount. The prisoner then retracted what he had previously asserted, and said the fact was he was not a member of the Royal College of Surgeons of Dubliu, although he had entitled himself to act as a surgeon, in which capacity he had commenced practice in the neigh bourhood where he was taken into custody. Mr. COMI3E-ob, then, if that is the case, I shall be satisfied with two sureties of 20/. each, and your self in 401. The complainant having been bound over to pro secute, the prisoner was then committed. HAMMERSMITIL William Harris, aged 23, years, and Henry Round, aged 20 years, were agai❑ brought before Mr. Payn ter, on remand, charged with having attempted to murder police-sergeant sergeant Edwin Earthy, No. 18, T division, by shooting him in the legs with a pocket pistol. It will be remembered that the prisoners were fully committed for trial for the felonious shooting, and also for stopping Mr. Edward Long, a baker, near the Uxbridge-road, Ealing, and stealing from his person four sovereigns, two half-sovereigns, and some silver, and that they were remanded for the attend ance of Mr. Bashford, who had also been stopped and robbed by the prisoners. Mr. Frederick Bashford now appeared, and stated that he was at present residing at Norwood-green. On Monday, the 6th ult., he left the Great Western Railway station at Southall about half-past seven o'clock, and proceeded along the footpath towards his residence, when he observed two men standing in the centre of the walk. He took no notice of them, and was about to pass by, when they suddenly presented pistols at his head, and demanded his money. He gave them a purse containing two sovereigns and three half-sovereigns. They then took him to a tree, and fastened him to it with a white handkerchief ; opened his coat, and took from his waistcoat pocket a small silver watch and a gold guard chain, which he wore round his neck. They also took from him a glove and his umbrella. He succeeded in releasing himself by obtaining his knife from his pocket and cutting the handkerchief, and immediately communicated with a police con stable, who afterwards found the glove and umbrella near the tree. In answer to questions by Mr. PAYNTER, Mr. Bashford said be could not recognise the parties who robbed him, as it was i❑ a dark place where he was stopped. He believed the prisoners were the men, from their height. They wore masks. Inspector Loxon slid the Grand Junction Canal, where the prisoner Round said the watch and chain had been thrown, had been dragged, but they had been unable to find the property. Mr. PAYNTER inquired if the pistols and masks were in court ? Inspector Loxon said they were not. Mr. PAYNTER said it was necessary that they should be produced, in order that Mr. Bashford might examine them and ascertain if they were like those he saw upon the men. The prisoners were again remanded. It was stated that upwards of 401. had been sub scribed for Sergeant Earthy and Police constable Bayley, for their gallant conduct in the apprehension of Harris. INSTITU LION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS. On Tuesday (Sir William Cubitt, President, in the chair) the business of the evening was commenced by the announcement of the dates of the ordinary meet ings of the session ; of the appointment of December 231 for the annual general meeting, fur the election of the president, council and officers; and of the 25th May, 1852, for the President's Conversazione. _ _ The paper read was, "An Investigation of the Strains upon the Diagonals of Lattice-beams, with the resulting► Formulae," by Mr. W. T. Moyne, Assoc. Inst. C.E., and Professor W. B. Blood. The experiments detailed in the paper were made on a model twelve feet in length, so constructed that the diagonals in compression, which were strips of mahogany let into the top and bottom, but not fastened to them, and the ties, which were of hoop. iron chains, must of necessity take their respective bearing and strain, and by the substitution of a dy namometer for any one of the ties, the strain on it could be accurately measured. The results of the investigation which were given in a table, showing a remarkable coincidence between the strains as measured and calculated, were, that for a parallel beam, of one span, supported at each end and loaded at the centre, the strains throughout the diagonals were uniform, and the horizontal straina were greatest at the centre, decreasing uniformly at the points of support. Fur a similar beam, uniformly loaded over its en tire length, the strains on the diagonals commenced at the centre, increasing uniformly to the points of sup port, while the horizontal strains decreased from the centre to the ends, in the ratio of the ordinates of a parabola. These results were arrived at by different methods of reasoning, and the formulte derived from them were stated to be applicable to the more complex form of a closely intersected lattice, taking into consideration the increased number of triangulations. The paper then proceeded to show, that the same reasoning might be applied to beams with solid sides, and their proportions calculated accordingly. As a practical illustration of this principle the author exhibited a drawing of the Glyn Taff viaduct, constructed by him, for the Aberdare Iron Company, in which the main bay, over the river Taff, was 140 feet span, and the weight of iron work 53 tons. This bridge was capable of carrying a constant load of 73 tons, and the weight necessary to break it was calcu lated at 359 tons. In an appendix, the formulee were extended to the cases of beams fixed at one end only ; and also to those having several points of support ; in the latter case, it appeared, that the greatest possible strain due to a moving load upon the diagonals, at the centre, was only one-fourth that at the points of support, where the bridge was of ono span only, and when there was more than one span, that a portion of the value of continuity was lost in the case of a moving load in consequence of the point of contrary flexure changing its position. The paper was illustrated by diagrams, and the experiments upon the model were explained by the author. The President recalled to those gentlemen who had been recently elected, the engagement entered into on their election, to present original communi cations, books, &c., in order to promote the interest of the meetings, or increase the library. The meeting was adjourned to Tuesday evening, November 18th, when the following paper will be read :—" Description of a new Metallic Manometer, and other Instruments for meowing Pressures and Temperatures," by M. Eug6ne Bourdon, of Paris. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, Nov. 13. STOCK ExcniamE.--,There was an improved feeling ex hibited in the share market to-day, and a good business was transacted.
