The 1-Itiml:urgh papers have advices from Vienna of the 29th ult., stating that the Russian Cabinet ha• resolved to induce the German Powers to join a grand diplomatic congress to be held in Vienna. At this Congress the pending questions of European policy are to be decided, and a new basis fur the system of states is to be esrabli,hed. The journey ot Count Nesselrode to Lehi is said to be undertaken for the purpo%e of geioing the Austrian Emperor and his Cabinet for this Russian idea. arid to ensure to it the support and co-operation of Au'-aria. A telegraphic dispatch from B-rlin, of the 3d inst., in the Kolner Ze;tung, states that the semi-official papers of that date announci-, that in cons.quence of a resolution which the Council of Princes took on the 26th ulr., all the Goveroments of the Lague have imitated the example ot Prussia in declining to attend or asasent to the Austrian Federal Diet (Bun destag) at Frankfort. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. The Kolner Zeitung bas a telegraphic dispatch from Frankfort, of the 3J inst., stating that the Da nish Plenipotentiary has summoned the Federal Committee sitting in that city to ratify the treaty of peace of the 2d of July. Another dispatch from Kiel of the same date states that the Hoist, in Diet has been convoked by the Stadtholders. The Diet is to meet at Kiel on Mon day, the 9th inst. SUNDERLAND, SEPT. 4. —The Ludy Mary (this port. Rol tap inv.grity ut ►Shields, are rqu,rb-d to have gone ashore at Bucnist. an or about the 14th of August, and the former expected to become a wreck. Sir George Grey has left Balmoral for his seat, Fallodon, Northumberland. NEW ZEALAND, The following is an extract from a letter dated Wellington, April 22 : •• On Thursday evening (the 11th), after a tedious day's work beating up the northern shore of the Banks' peninsula, we came to eh anchor about seven o'clock just outside die heads of Pert Cooper. If we had had two hours' more daylight we should have gone in, but our captain is very cutious ; and though we had been positively assured that coating could possibly happen even it we ran in bliniitold, he preferred waiting tilt morning. Eft six. o'clock we wetghtd anchor, the Wind being fair, theueh light, and passed quickly up to the bay. None of Iv, I believe, *ere - prepared for the beauty of the scenery; it took us wore by surprise than even at O;ago, for the sketches which we had seen in England were very far from inviting. The character is very efferent from that of the levely lake on the banks of which Port Chalmers lies, but 1 am not sure that I do not preter it; the hills are very bobs, beth in free and in outline, 13;.'re for the most pert—that is, with only small patches ut wood at the bottom of the glens, but with much of that sublimity which is produced by extent of view cud rugoat w tlaties4. Trio harbour is very fine, both in a pieture,que ant wiitaritin point of view; the captain and all toe nautical men on hoard were de lighted with it, and gave it: a very d• tided preference over Otago, as being equally safe and tar easier of ingress sn•l egress. I. consists iu a regularly shard inlet, about seven miles long from the entrance to the end, and varying from a wile to a mile and a half in width. Lis open to one wind (E N.E.). but everybody agrees that it never blows hard from that varter, and also that the swell is lust bef are it reaches tne harbour. There is good anchorage outside its seven fathoms, stud thence it gradua:ly shoals to three fathoms, about five miles up. " There are two small bays. in which, if it should be found uecetsar j , shelter fur ships may be found from the only wind to w hien the rest ut true harbour is exposed. No pilot is required, as there is literally nothing to avoid, except tee hills on each side, and there is width enough to Beet in or out its finite weather. Half way up the harbour we passed a whaleab'ett, which he - tamed as that we mieht go up and anchor opts , stte • the town.' At that time we had seen no sign of civilisation except the line of a road in process of tortuaLiou along the tace and over the tap of the hill on the northern shore, and no human habitation except some moor huts close to the beach, but we held on, and presently another whale boat, with Capta'n Thomas, the chief surveyor or the. association, on board, shot from behind a bluff en the northern shore and boarded us. Immediately afterwards we le; go our anchor, though the town was not yet visible, and my wife .and I went off with Thomas. On rounding the . bluff aforesaid, I was per fectly astounded with what I saw. One might have supposed that the country bad beeu colonized for years, so settled and busy was the look of its port. In the first place, there is what the Yankees would call a ' splendid jetty,' thence a wide and beaten looking road leads up the bill, and turns off through a deep cutting to the eastward; on each side of the road there are houses scattered to the number of about twenty-five, including two' hotels' and a Custom house (in the shape of a small weather-boarded hut, certainly, but a Custom-house). In a square railed off close to the jetty are four excellent houses, intentied for emigrants' barracks, with a cook-house in the eentte. Next to the square comes a satall house which Thumas now inhabits himself and which he destined for an agent's office; behind this, divided from it by a plot of gratiud intended for a garden, Owls a stately edifice which was introduced in due form to us as our house.' It is weather-boarded, bus six very good-sized rooms, sad a mends.; in short, After seeing it, we could not help laughiog at our own anticipations of a shed on the bare beach with a fire at, the Goer. The first view of these plains, as of all others that I have seen in New Zealand, is rather disappointing to an English eye—that is, one misses the greenness cud luxuriance whice the growth of grass iu a country long cultivated and grazed over exhibits. The flax •plant, too, which grows lirgely all over them, ex 'way resembies at a distance that kind of bulrush which we call flags, so that, although in fact the pre sence et it denotes, as I am told, unsrrirgty that the soil is sound and suifien-roly dry for midis:talon. the appear- since given by is is that of barren swamps. When we got down into the plain, we sot ri perceived •he difference tween the real bulrush, which tikes actually grow its some spots, and she fl.,x. We overt,lL sever at of our fellow-passengers wbu cad started before us walking, and found them un a ccustomed to new couhtrie,, us they we ld open-moutbe - about the want of iuxuriant grass. W e saw the country to great ouesdvauta, e, tor there have been six months ut al , uust utipreeedente4 dry weather, but, a:ter mekieg allowance tor this, I aim sure that unit. it snail have been either broken up ur greseal over no part of a will pro: ue. ao be compared with soil of vcrial Tient ) c.anittise.

We dined with Thomas, and there was also a dinner at the grog-shop dignified by the name of the Mike' riot-1, and kept by Maj. r Hornbroek, a &ki t-Beer of Engineers in the Spanish Legion, who has come down from Wellington on a spree, and who illy' tie will give 1001. a year to the individual who gets the section on which be bas located himself. This gallant efficer's cookery and accommodations are very well re ported of. " I think all those who see the Canterbury settlement will admit that, as I have said before, no first body of colonists from Britain have ever toned so much done to prepare for and welcome them as ours will find. In fact, difficulties in the usual sense of the word, as applied to colonisation. there will be none—no roads to make, no forests to clear, no want of food or lodging, or of facili- , ties for choosing and settling upon land. M.lny thing, will to doubt be expensive at first; for example, wood, acme articles of provisions, and labour; but every man', enterprise may be made the subject of calculation on paper, as in an old country. Humanly speaking, there is no uncertainty or chance of distippointment to provide against. HP may lose his money, but if be does, again I say, huteaely ipeaking, it will be his own fault, and not the result of his obstacles which he could not tole see. If. et certain that a vast deal of the discontent and mutual bad feeling which is so painfully conspicuous at Utagu takes i s origin from the di,comforss and ember rarnente experienced by men thrown with their wives and children upon a bare shore at the beginning of win ter, without a road or a clearing, or a sign of civilzation to welcome or to cheer them. At that time they not un naturally acquire the habit of abusing the association and the company, and their leaders, and each other, and they &lave certainly never lost it, and I earnestly trust the example may not be lost upon us." THE MURDERER BENNISON. In reference to the case of Wiil am Bennisor, who was lately executed for the murder of his second w;fe, we understand the authorities have ascertained the following fee's relative to the death of his first. wife, Miry M'Alullan. Af►er leaving Ireland with her, Bennison brought her to Airdrie, where they remained in lodgings for a week. Sae com plained cf . having been sea-sick on the voyage, but otherwise looked in good health. For tw o days before her death she laboured under inces sant vomiting and purging, accompinied by exces sive thirst. No medical man was called, Bennison alleging that his circumstances could not afford it, and afterwards, on a fellow-lodger offering to pay the expense', that he bad already advised with a doctor, who had told him to give her a little wine or anything she could take. Her death surprised the otner in mates of the house, and excited suspicions which were only allayed by Bennison's great pretensions to piety. She was buried the day after her death by the aid of funds collected from a few persons of his own religious persuasion ; and the day after the funeral he left, taking her clothes with him, and was heard of no more in Airdrie till after his trial appeared in the newspapers, and attracted the attention of a fellow-lodger, who wrote a letter which led to in vestigation. The circumstances leave little room to doubt as to what was the fate of Mary M'Mullan. A Bible, which belonged to her, bearing her name' is in possession of a person in Airdrie, so that there is no doubt of her and his iieutity. The grave she was buried in is known to a nearness; and had it been necessary to .urry out the investigation, it is perfectly possible ..hat even the lapse of eleven years would not have .revented the cause of death from being ascertained with suffioient precision for the ends of justice—the presence of arsenic bein , - , supposed capable of detec tion,t, even in the mouldering remains of the body, or in the earth of the grave, after the lapse of a very considerable period.—Scotsman.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept. 4. (Before the Chief Commissioner.) THE " WEDNESDAY EVENING' CONCERTS. IN THE MATTER OF JO3EFR STAMMERS. This was an application by Mr. Stammers, who described himself as a" Musical Director of Concerts" in his schedule, to he liberated, on sureties, from the Queen's Prison until his hearing. The schedule filed:showed debts for which considera tion had been received from July last, to 8,4721., with no credits on the other side. There were vari ous losses set forth, • including a capital of more than 6001., with which the Wednesday Evening Concerts were commenced. The result was the present ap plication, the insolvency being attributed to the re reipts of business being insufficient to meet his ex penditure. The creditors numbered 131, and there were many " professionals" in the list fur balances of services rendered. Nearly 1,000/. had been paid as rent. for Exeter Hall. The receipt from the concerts, from July to the end of 1849, were 1,4501., and in the present year 2,2261. The e xp enses we re consi derable. There was one item in the account of 3,1531. us having been paid to "artistes." In answer to the questions of the Learned Com missioner, the insolvent said he was a itiu-ieal director of concerts, and also a musicseller iu Duke street, Bloomsbury. He had petitioned last month, under the Private Arrangement Act, the Court of Bank ruptcy, and as his debts were the present amount Mr. Commissioner Rale had dismissed hi. petition. The Curer CoMMISSIONER remarked that the debts for which consideration had he.-n received were 3,4721, and there was not a single debt owing to bile. The insolvent said such was the case; his busiuesss was a ready money One. The CIIIkr CoMMISSIONER, - referrit.g to the las lance-sheet, remarked that in the present year 2,226/. had been received front concerts. He inquired whether the insolvent had any musical instruments. Tae insolvent answered that he never had any. Tee Curer COMMISSIONER wished to know what was meant by an item of losses sustained by concerts which had not taken place. , The insolvei.t explained that he was to give a series of concerts, fur of which did not take place, but as there were expenses incurred on them, be had esti mated the loss sustained. The Learned Cosistisstorten said he perceived that he had borrowed a good deal of money. Tne insolvent replied that he had done so. CHIEF COMMISqONER—Have you no property at all ? lusolvent—Noue. I lost it all by the specu lation. Price. To further interrogatories he said he bad 6601. in money and property in October last, all of which had gone. His furniture bad been seized and sold by Nathan, the Sheriff's-officer, for money advanced, and his father-in•kw had purchased the furniture and al lowed his family the use of the same. Ile had made out his schedule from his cash-b,ok, which was the only book he ke-pt, and about 200 receipts for money, which receipts he had filed in the court. Ile was a married man with five children. There were three detainers against him at the prison. His Horeouu said the Court would expect, on the hearing, proof to be given of the sale and purchase of the furniture by the father-in-law, as the same fur• niture had belonged to the insolvent up to March or April la►t. The proposed bail were examined. Mr. Simmosids, a silversmith, in Soulhampton-row, Bloomsbury, wot one, and Mr. Palmer, a hat manufacturer, the other. They proposed to ittslify, in the sum of 1,0001., tor the appearance of Me. Stammers on the day appointed for his hearing.

POLICE IN TELLIGEN CE. M AN VON-HO US E. Howard Augustus Style*, of Camden-town, chemist, was brought up in the custody of Huggett, the officer, for final examination, charged with having forgtd two bills of exchange, one for 200/., arid the other for 3001., upon the London and County Bank, about four mouths bgo. The following is the additional evidence : 111r.Iof Swanscombe, in the county of Kent, the prison e r. H e had not a b o ut r. Charles s aid I know ßail ey, the month of May sold any land to me. I am sorry to say I did nut give my acceptances for the amount of 7001. to him or to any other man. The accept ance to this bill for 300/. is not in my hand Nritieg. I did not authorise him or any other person to uccept it for me. I never heard that there was any other gentleman of the narne of Bailey in Swanscoinbe than myself. I keep an account with the Gravesend branch of the London and County Bank. The prisoner said he wished for legal assistance, and hoped the Alderman would remand him. He bad no idea of shirking a seltion, but he believed that a solicitor would obviate the necessity of a committal. Alderman Glariss—l cannot think of r.manding you, except you show me good reason frr such a Course. The Prisoner—l did not expect to be brought up to-day, and I require the presence of an attorney. Alderman Grnss—The evidence is complete, and whatever 3 our attorney might say upon the subject could not have the effect of inducing me to dispose of the case otherwise than by sending it to the Old Bailey. The Prisoner —I consider it is within the range of possibility that it my attorney were present I might not be committed upon this charge. Alderman GIBBS—Do you wish to ask Mr. Bailey any question? The Prisoner—No; 1 cannot ask questions which my attorney might ask, considering our relative positions. That will depend upon what my rne m ight urge. Aldermanttoy Ginas—ln such a case w h a t b e might a urge would not influence me. You must go before another tribunal; I have no alternative. The prisoner was the n committed for trial.

I charged her at once with having. robbed 0 r j , :n v d e Hales. me, and opened the door and celled for assistance. I then heard footsteps on the stairs, and li-air WC;ir thy swallow a sovereign. At that moment Jane Hales, who is, I am given to understand, the landlady of the coffee-house, came up to me, folhwed by the third prisoner, and put her hand across my shoulder. The effect of the movement was instantaneous. I be came at that moment insensible, and I continued in that state until six or seven o'clock next evening. I then found myself at home at Step ne y in bed. I had lost five sovereigns and 12s. in silver, and a white pocket-handkerchief. Alderman Gums—Had you been drinking ?

Alderman Glass—You are sure that the prisoner Hales is the person who put her hand across your shoulder ? Complainant—l have not the least doubt of it. It came upon me like a clap of thunder. Alderman Ginisi—Who took you home ?

The spot where I lay is between two very high walls, and extremely. dark. I found that my pocket-book had been examined, for all the papers in it were turned topsY•turvy—none of them were missing, for they were not convertible into money. Alderman Gross—Howdwhom o yo ou went to the u know that Ann WCarthy is the telltale with y house ?

When I spoke to h e r s h e as k e d me to go to the very coffile house in Somerset street where she had robbed me, and win n we went into the room she appeared to be very anxious to go for some tea, and no doubt she meant to admini ster so mething calc ulated to make me insensible.

I wanted him to go into a puhlic•house, but he refuted, and he then brought me to Some set street to the coffee-house, wtere I had m ver been before, and we had not been there a mit.ute when tte policeman came into the house and he gave me in charge. Jane Hales, the landlady, said so!emnly that she never had seen the gentleman before he walked in in the previou4 night, and then he i•poke of having been robbed of only one sovereign and some shillings, but she knew nothing of him or any robbery. The police-sergeant said •the complainant had pointed out the landlady is the person VI ho had put her arm round his shoulder before Ann M•Carthy was found by him, but it was considered deeifable to wait till broil c , :uld be secured together.

The clerk said the barges were always swarmed with boys, and they were robbed of coals to an enormous extent. Mr. HALL said the coals were always exposed, and it was a temptition f,r thieves and for poor people generally. The barges ought to b.. constantly watched ; and if he had the power he would fine all owners of property who did nut have that property secured to pr.-vent robberies. The clerk said it was impossible to prevent rob beries of these descriptions. If one barge was watched the others would be robbed by boys who concealed themselves under the barges, and were not observed by the men. Mr. HALL said he bed power to have the pri , soners whipped for this offence, besides imprisonment.

The legal decision affecting the fifth shares has not yet been obtained. The directors are pentuaded thst the chief source of improve ment will be found in the progressive development of the trAßc. Reviewi.ig the amalgamated or leased lines seriatim, it may be justly stated of the Barnsley line that until the communicatiot.s now making by coal owners are complete, the full measure of traffic cannot be known; that the thirty miles between Manchester and Preston already yield a higher re turn than the parent line, including its branches ; that the Liverpool and Bury line is rapidly improv• ing in income, and after the Iluddersfieid line was sanctioned by Parliament stood in so important a re lation tl the Liverpool and Yorkshire traffic as fully to justify the arrangement. The Preston and %Vyre line was not expected at the time of the arrangement to remunerate the company for some years ; but the losc, so far, exceeds the directors' anticipations ; but in considering this logs crenit shouid be given for the el: curnstanee thAt an amount of traffic of from 1.5,C00/. to 20 : 0001. per annum would have neen ni verted hom the canipany's Ikea ;f fte Preston and had iorint.d part of a neighbour ing system.

They had approttetied thet peiat in the history of their ethsirs when it would begin to wear a more satisfactory aspect than it had hitherto done. It had been said that the directors were chargeable with the present condition of the line, and that to causes uudtr their control was attributable the present depreciation of the company's property. But many causes operated to reduce the dividend winch we t s entirely out of the control of the directors. He did not make that assertion with the view to lessen in any degree any amount of blame which might fairly and justly be placed upon their shoulders, for the re sults their manegernent had not shown them to very successful hitherto. The chief causes which had operated to produce a reduction of dividend were the abstraction of traffic by the multiplication of competing lines, and the reduced tariff. At an early period he (the chairman) saw the injurious effect of the reduced tariff, and ca lied the attention of the shareholders to the fact that unless they had higher rates of remuneration for the work which they did it was in vain to look for profit, and the directors, acting under the some imprersion, applied to Parliament last ses sion, and succerefully carried a Bill by which tie rates were partially restored,— (Hear, hear.) Ano ther important consideration was this—while the ca• pital chargeable to revenue had been increasing half yearly at the rate of 1,000,0001. to 1,500,0001., their gross receipts had been almost stationary.—(iiear.) • In fiiur halt-years their gross receipts . had only ad vanced 15,0001. The accountant had made calcula tions which showed clearly the effect of reductions iu the rates, coupled with the abstraction of through traffic, which bad- reduced their annual income 60,0001.—(Hear, hear.) Another reason for the re nuetiun of the dividend, arising from a very natural cause, was that when this company paid an 8 per cent. dividend the capital was 3,400,000;., 1,800,00 W. cl which was borrowed at abut 4 per cent. Tlity had ore paid up one-half of their capital.—(Hear, hear.) Now that they had paid up the whole amount, that fact alone was sufficient to reduce the di vidend to one and a half per cent. lie trusted the shareholders would see that the causes thus operating were of a very temporare nature; and that u little time—though not se early as might-origi nally have been supposed—would revive the value of ~ heir property. At the last meeting along discussion took place upon the form ot tht, constitution of the beard ; a ceinunittee n appointed to confer with the directors upon the subject, and the matter would be ta.k , n into consideration at a sub,squent period. He would new move— " That ts ,, much f the report of the directors as does liot relate to ihe question of the recuritilitie:ioll of the• hoard he received awl adopti..d, aed that the accounts up to ',he 30th of June be pas[ef." Mr. HARPER seconded the motion. Mr. 1). Pima objected to the enormous salary paid the engineer, and charged him with having received a hum of money for services re7dered to the Liverpool, Manchester, and Newcastle Company, which money, he Von sid rre d, ought to have gone to the credit of the Laccishire arid Yorkshire Company. He proposed that, following the example , of the Midland and Cale donian Companies. a list of ail salaries paid by the company over 1001. per (odium should he printed. The resolution was skconded by Mr. MOW ATT, M. P , and carried. NIL OIIhRTS, of Chester, said that he thought that so log es the company found work tor law) crs and s4nginerrs, there would be no end to the exhausting of their Clpital. He moved that the services of the en gineer-in -chief should be dispensed with, and that a re.,ident engineer should be appointed at a salary not exceeding 500/. a year. Mr. Haw]Eshaw - , the engineer, said many cf the gentlemen near him on the board knew that his opi nions were quite consonant with those of Mr. Roberts. After the completion of the works at present on heed, they would not requiere an engineer in chief.— (Applause.) He would then, having a large interest to the concern himself, be glad to wind up the con -I:rector's account, and get rid of the great responsibi lity which had laid upon him.—(Hear.) After a long discussion upon some minor twitters in the accounts, in which Mr. MOWATT, M.P., de pr,caEed the system of share•purchases which the company had pursued, that gentleman moved for a return of the shares so purchased and held by the company. CHAIRMAN said no new purchases had been inwie sine, November, 1848, at which time a list of the shares held by the compsny was publi,bett. Mr. PE/CE charged the board with having, at various tiinep, pockAed the dividends upon those shares, and said it was only at the time wilt n they depre ciated in value that they were thrown on the hands of !born company. The CHAIRMAN, and other members of the board, indignantly denied the assertion of Air. Price. Mr. MOWATT said there was only 52,0001. applica hie to revenue, and he thought, when that was considered, the welt-glorifying terms of the directors' report were an insult to his understanding.—(Hear.) The report was subsequalitly adopted. The resolution declaring the dividend having been proposed, - I►ir. COATES (of London), on behalf of the Fifth shareholders, entered into a lengthy statement of their case. He said he would not insist upon the legal view of the case, though he was well ac quiiited with the strong foundation which they had in law; and so soon as the question came before public legal tribunal, where no proxies could be used —(flear, hear)—and it must do so unless justice were previously done to the Fiftt, shareholders—their right to a dividend would be affirmed, and the com pany during the progreas of the cube would be sun j,c•;el to great inconvenience, to say nothing of u uo expensive litigation. The company had now 18.800/ of a balance, out of which they could pay g.t,e Fifth shareholders a dividend at an equal rat, with the general shareholders, which he proposed, therefore, should be done. Mr. SCOTT bficondtd the motion, but The proceeding was condtnined by Mr. LEEMAN and other shareholder:), on the ground that tLe matter had been referred to the Attorney-General i r his opinion, and it %Via su4gested that, !khould it nit be decided by that high authority, it ahuuld be re ferred to a tow commercial men. Thit CUAIRMAN declined to put the motion of Mr. Coutes, considetitg it would be necessary to convtte a special meeting for such a purpose. Mr. MOWATT joined in the opinion that the best !node of set'ding the question would be to refer it to the deci,ion of some tour or five business men. Mr. LEEMAN sugv-seed the reference of the case t the chairman of the Rink 0( England and the chair men of the London and North-Western and Great Northern Railway Companies. MANCHESTER, BUXTON, MATLOCK, AND MIDLAND JUNCTION. The half -yearly me.-tins of this company was he'd at Derby yesterday (Wednesday) ; the, lion. G. Cavendish, M.P., in the chair. A long discussion arose at the onset on an objec tion being wade by Mr. Preston, of London, to the affixing of the seal.ot the company to the registered list of shareholders, until he was permitted to inspect the list. Tne Cosirman said that, in accordance with the advice of their legal instructor, they must refuse the application. Honourable proprietors might see the list f shareholders' names, but not the number of shares held by each. The directors themselves had DO objection to any shareholder seeing how many shares were held by them. The discussion closed by Mr. Preston stating that he wanted a decision " ay,. or " no," in order that he might try the question. The report was then read by tne Secretary. It stated " That the gross receipts to the 30th of June last had been 3,0351. lie. 7.1 , and the expenses, in cludicg Government duty, 2,3381. 13s. 54., leaving a balance in favour of the company of 6961. 18s. 24., which, added to the sum ot 1,5351 15s.

GRAVESEND, SEPT. 4. About half past nine o'clock last night the inhabitants in the neighbour hood of a house in New-street, lately talun by the coachman of Mr. Levy, lessee of the Terrace-gar dens, were alarmed at bearing dreadful screams is suing from the house. From Mr. Busby's tavern, in Terrace-street, close by, several persons rushed to the place, and found a little girl, about twelve years of age, issuing from the front door enveloped in flames, and uttering the most appalling shriek.. Her clothes were almost altogether consumed, and her head, face, shoulders, and chest presented the most horrible ap pearance. The flesh was literally burning off. Medical assistance was bad as soon as possible, but in the intermediate time Mr. Burbidge, chemist, ap plied everything necessary to assuage the dreadful Buffering of the poor girl. It appeared that she had been only hired the day before by the coach man's wife, and bad been left in the house alone whilst they were absent at the gardens; that there had been in a closet of an upper room some fireworks, which probably were of the kind used in the gardens, and that the girl from curiosity was examining them, when they exploded and set her clothes on fire. That she ran down stairs screaming, and igniting the pas sage as she passed, and that her screams created the alarm which perhaps may save her life, and most pro bAly has saved this part of Gravesend from another calamitous fire. The fire caused by her ignited clothes as she rushed down the stairs was speedily put out by the exertions of the neighbours, and by the timely arrival and assistance of the police, headed by Superintendent North. The sufferer, who had been at first removed to Mr. Busby's, where every possible attention had been paid to her, was, by direction of the medical officer of the workhouse, taken to that place, but her recovery is considered hopeless. DISTURBANCE BLT W EEN THE 11TH HUSSARS AND CIVILIANS. About half-past elf yen o'clock on Saturday night, the inhabitants of St. Matthew's and Westgate streets, Ipswich, were disturbed from their slumbers by se veral low fellows assaulting two of the privates of the 11th Hussars, now stationed in the Ipswich barracks. The two soldiers were, according to the statements of two or three most respectable persons, brutally treated. It appears that, about the time mentioned above, the two soldiers entered the shop of Mr Fade, wine and -spirit merchant, where they sa a female, the wife of one of their comrades, whon a man named West, a sawyer, and another named Rivers, a painter, were insulting. The two soldiers remonstrated with the men for such unmanly conduct, but the latter still continued to abuse the soldiers and the woman, who did all they possibly could to prevent any disturbance; but finding River, and West determined to commit a breach of the peace, the soldiers left, and were proceeding quietl3 down the street, when they perceived that they wer being followed by nearly twenty persons. When the soldiers arrived opposite the Crown and Anchor both their caps were knocked off by a mob, who ill-used them in a most cowardly way. After several skir mishes the soldiers got the worst of it, there being about fifty persons present at this time, some of whom jumped upon the soldiers when lying in the road, kicking and otherwise ill treating them The soldiers then beat a retrett',. but they had not reached beyond Mr. 1 - teadie, watchmaker and jeweller, before they were again overtaken. After they had again met with most brutal treatment at the hands o! the mob, the soldiers once more managed to gel away from them, one running up Globe-lane, and the other round Mr. Churchman's corner, pursued by their assailants, who were hallooing and making a gre a t noise, much to the annoyance of the peaceable inhe bitants. The soldier who ran up G.obe-lane fortu nately got clear away from his pursuers, but the other poor fellow was not so fortunate, and finding them too close at his heels to be pleasant, he ran into the house occupied by Mr. Rowlson, nearly opposite the Temperance Hall, and begged protection. Mr. Rowl eon had much dilicul:y in .keeping some portion of the people from entering his house. Some of them de manded that .he soldier should be given up to them, and even intimated that unless their orders were at tolled to they would break (=pen Mr. Ruwlson's house. In the meantime police-constables Cole, Bk.otofield, and Ponder, came up, and they, in a shorn time, escorted the soldier to the barracks, followed by a large number of persons shouting and making a greet noise. One of the soldiers had 1.i3 lil , cut open, and the other sustained such sever!. injuries that he was taken to the hospital. Ter soldiers assaulted, we are informed, are two of th, bert•conducted men in the regiment. On the follow ing night (Sunday), a party of ten ur twelve soldier! belonging to the 11th Hussars, comrades of the two soldiers who were assaulted by the civilians on the previous night, sallied forth with the evident deter mination to make an attack upon the parties, some of whom is appears were well known to them. For this purpose they proceeded to the Royal William Bowl ing-green, where they found West (one of the men woo had originated the quarrel), and a person named Jordan. A slight row here took place between them, which resulted in West and Jordan being rather roughly handled by the soldiers in the public road ; but the former managed to escape from his assailants. About half-part eleven o'clock, ten or twelve soldiers again met West and Jordan opposite the Feathers public-house, in Westgate-street, when they made another atiaLk upon them. The soldiers had taken off their jackets, one of their comrades holding them. Some of the soldiers were at this time armed with short sticks, which they used pretty freely upon the heads and persons of West and Jordan, so much so, that Jordan's head was broken open, and he was taken to Mr. Sampson's surgery, where his wounds were bound up. West, after the fray, was picked up quite insensible, and conveyed to his home by two of the police. Information having been given to the guard at the barracks, a piequet was at once sent out in search of the soldiers.—lpsteich Express. HERRING TRADE.

PUBLISIIED EVERY TUESDAY AND FRIDAY EVENING. LONDON. TUESDAY. SEPTEMBER 3. grourr-sTocs. MANESS- MARLBOROUGH STREET. Mr. Abraham Simmons, landlord of the Surrey Coal-hole, Blackfriars-road, was sumtnoned befor-. Mr. Hardwick, to show cause against an order of affiliation applied for against him by Alice Hughes, who alleged that he was the father of her illegitimate child. Alice Hughes, who stated that she was a single woman, but had pa•sed at one time as a marrif-d woman, swore that an intercourse had formerly sub siAted between the defendant and herself ' the result of which was the inf a nt s h e th en h a d i n her arms. Mr. Clarkson, who attended for the defendant, c.o~s.examined the complainant, and elicited several discrepancies in her evidence. The complainant-ealled a woman ntmcd Reynolds to prove that the defendant had admitted intercourse on one oecasiJn, but the witness denied that any such admission bad been made by the defendant to her. Mr. HARDWICK dismissed the case. The complainant, who appeared half distracted at this ded,ion, swore that she would destroy herself and .the infant also. She had no means of supportir,g herself, and with the tie of the child it was iulpossiblu she could get either work or a situation. Th►e complainant then suddenly precipitated herself ~ n the defendant and seized him by the hair, struck him violently several times about the head, de•clarirg she would do him some mischief, for he well knew he was the father of hei 'child, and if any further proof were wanting it was only necessary to look at the infant's features to see the Jew lineaments of the father. _ _ _ The complainant was put out of the court, and Mr. Simmons waited a short time, and then left. Hr came back almost instantly and compl lined that ne had again been assaulted, and now he asked for pro tection. He waf, the Either of a family, and the complbinant threatened to come and annoy him in his business. Mr. Clarkson said his client must have protection from the violence and threats of the woman. He must ohs..rve he was prepared with Evidence not only to prove who was not the father of the child, but who was the fieber. Mr. HARDWICK would be ready to afford the de feudant any protection he might need, in case the violence was repeated. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE The 28th half-yearly meeting of this company was held at Manchester 'yesterday. There was a large attendance of proprietors. Mr. Henry Houldsworth presided. The CHAIRMAN, in opening the business e f the meeting, said he felt that there could at the present meeting be but one question upon which any con siderable difference of opinion could exist, and he had such a viviti recollection of the circumstances of !he last meeting, when considerable irregularity took place, that he should, so far as he could as chairman, insist upon a greater - degree of order being kept. Mr. I)UNSTAN, the secretary, then reed the report, which sts'ed that the amount received on calls to , he 30th of June was 7.558,362/. ; 6 per cent. ereferenee stock, 793 265/. ; hems covered by shares, 1,299,945/, ; loans not covered by shares, 1,575 6101 : total re ceived, 11,227.1831. ; calls in sneer, 293,683/. The amount or capital expended and chargeable to re venue on the 30th of June was 9,700,000/., being no increase of 1,000,690/. during the past six months. The total receipts on revenue account during the half-year amounted to 330,9171, and the disburse ments to 146,192/e including . 10,9101. for rates and taxes. The effect of the opening of ceew branches, in increasing temporarily the proportion of working ex pubses to receipts, adverted to in the last report, still operates to some extent, but will diminish in the course of next year; and the advance in rater, Authorised by the Act of Parliament obtained in the last session, will all tend to lessen the proportion of working expenses for the future. The directors are glad to report that the Bill which they introduced into Parliament for an in. crease of rates has received the Royal assent. When the company decided, in 1844, to promote and take part in those extensions which occupied so much of their time and attention in subsequent sessions of Par- Lament, they proceeded on the uuderatanding derived front the reports of Mr. Gladstone's Committee of that year, that the Legislature would act on the prin ciple therein recommended, of discouraging the outlay of double capital for one and the same object, ti v which course the traffic would haye been less subdi vided, and the then exeviiig companies enabled, through the concentration of the business on a smaller number of lines, to work at lower Cates. But since the wise suegestions of the Committee, and the en larged views of the Board of Trade, under Lord Del housie, were altogether disregarded by Pertiament, and the undue multiplication of pas allel lines has not only restricted, but in ton many cases swept assay profit, the directors thought they could appeal with justice to Parliament to rectify, to FOllO ex tent at least, by a partial restoration of rates, the error committed. In this hope, notwithstanding the adverse report of the R dlway Commissioners, they have not been disappointed, and they feel satisfaction at the result, not alone because of the benefit the pro prietors [nee , derive front the measure, hut also be cause it may be taken as an evidence that Parliament at all events is no longer of opinien that so great and euccesstul a system of intercouununication, costing hundred of millions of money, altogether the result of private enterprise, and far surpassing the united public works of all preceding times, should continue unremunerative through restrictions imposed under erroneous views of what the railway system could afford. The great desideratum towards closing the capital account—viz., the completion of the works in progress—is nearly arrived at, the whole of the works which the company had in hand, with the ex ception of about two and a half miles between Halifax and Sowerby- bridge, being now open for traffic. The portion of unfinished line alluded to, together with a diversion of two and a half miles of the Preston and Wyre line, now making by the London and North- Western Company and . this company at Fleetwood, comprise all that now remains to be opened, and will be completed within the present year. Under these circumstances, i - is proposed, that from the present time the total capital shown to have been ex pended at the commencement of each half-year shall be Wien as the cepital . chatgeable against the revenue of such half-year. Thus the amount of capital for which the revenue of the current helf-year will have to provide, will be 11,122.000/. Tne length o f li ne, constructed exclusively with funds now included in the capital, will be . 198 miles ; company's proportion of guaranteed leased lines, 44i .miles; making to gether 242} miles. The weekly published traffic for the future will include the gross receipts of the ',hove 242 k miles, and two-fifths ef the reeeipts of the Bel -1 ton, Blackburrean.l Clithero fiat, 25i mil, a in lei gtl~, on which the colepeoy receives 40 per cent. of the gross receipts fur working the same, lOi; toking in all 2521 miles. The balance of revenue for tee past half-year applicable to dividend and iteerest, mounts to 177,2291.
