A letter from Athens, of the 30th ult., in the Germar. journals, says that the proposition for in c.s'aBir.ig the military budget by one-half had given rise to such stormy debates in the C'narnher of Depu tied, that it had to be adjourned. NORWAY. The Storthing of Norway, in it 4 sitting of the Ist instant, adopted a Bill presented by the Govern ment for having ten clever workmen, of good cha racter, selected each year by the Minister of the In tiriov.:, for the purpose of being sent, at the expense of Vie state, to France, England, and Germany, to ge.:Au information respecting their several trads. The to a men named for 1851 are three mechanicians, t:nree cabinet-makers, a mason, a saddler, a tinman, and a joiner. STATE OF TRADE. (From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, TIIESDAY.—We have had a quiet market, comparatively little business has been effected. The consequence is that in many descriptions of yarns and goods, the seller finds himself at some further disadvantage in making a bargain. This unfavour able tendency is, however, for the most part, very slight ; scarcely quotable in 20's and 30's reeled water twist, and only in medium numbers of cops and some counts of reeled mule, exceeding per lb from the extreme rates of last week. Some of the buyers have given out limited orders on these easier terms, whilst others have de ferred their purchases from a feeling of uncertainty as to whether or not a further decline may take Place. The German merchants are discouraged by the accounts from Leipsic, at the close of the fair, Which stat e th a t business had greatly disappointed all parties by its dulness, and the unfavourable bias of prices consequent thereon. In 40-inch shirting and other goods, principally made for India and China, hardly anything has been done ; and their previously low value is therefore not steadily sustained. Other descriptions of cloth exhibit some degree of weakness, a comparative firmness being however maintained in domestics and 36-inch 72-reeds. ROCHDALE, MONDAY. There has been a still market to-day, and a limited amount of business transacted at former prices. There has not been much activity in the wool market, but previous prices have been fully maintained. MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—With respect to the state; of trade here, we have very little fresh to notice, consequent on the past week having been almost wtiolly devoted to holidays ; the warehouses have 'been for the most part closed, and the transac tions in goods, either here or in London, have not been extensive. The unsatisfactory state of business throughout this year has begun to show itself with weak houses, another failure having occurred, with liabilities, which are fortunately small when compared with the extent of business carried on by the )mouse. The thrown silk market remains totally without improvement, as fer as re• gards home throwns. Foreign, on the contrary, are in rather better request, partly owing to reduced prices, and general comparative cheapness. The business doing in raw silks remains limited, and will most likely continue so until the result of the public sales (announced for the 22.1 inst.) is known. HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The aspect of our piece hall to-day has not been animated ; and the inquiry for worsted goods, both there and in the warehouses, is becoming more and more curtailed. Our report of the yarn trade is still unfavourable. There is scarcely any demand, and the prices fall greatly below the cost of production, at the current rates of the raw aneterial. Wool maintains its price ; but as the spin ners purchase sparingly, and only to supply imme diate wants, the quantity changing hand, is not large. HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have not much change to report in our market of to-day, it con tinues much the same as last week. Thick woollens for the winter home trade have . been more in demand, as have also new styles in famcy waiscoatings. LEEDS, TUESDAY.—The market to-day has been flat; but, es is usually the case, more goods were sold on Saturday last. There is a fair business doing in the warehouses for the home trade, but the ship ping houses continue quiet. CURIOUS CASE OF SEDUCTION. The Court of Assizes of the Seine yesterday tried a man named Ner,ny for detornenzentyde mineure— that is, carrying eff and seducing a young girl under age. Tne prisoner is an Italian, anti an orange dealer by trade, and he has been long established in Prance. He is 61 years of age, and ill-looking. In 1845, he married Appoline Lambert, but baying no children by her, he, in 1848, consented to receive one of her neices, Eugenie Lambert, into his house. Eu genio was then fourteen years and a half old, and she acted as servant to the family. The prisoner, it ap pears, ingratiated himself into her favour, and inspired her with a strong liking for him. In 1849 he left home, to take a business journey to Spain. His wife, who fancied she possessed all his affections, placed her portrait in his trunk, to surprise him ; but he took it into his head that it had been painted for another person, and it subsequently appeared that his niece Eugenie had made statements which carised him to suspect the fidelity of his wife. Rig accordingly never communicated with his wife, 'out wrote frequently to Eugenie, who boasted to the neighbours how intimate she was with him. One day after his return to Paris, Eugenie dressed her self in her best, and went away with the prisoner. He placed her in lodgings in the Rue de la Jussienne, and did not allow bor. family to k now w h ere s h e was. At la s t her father, an honest workman, dis covered her retreat, but the prisoner took another 100,ging for her in the Rue Montraarte. Whilst she was in these two places he allowed no one to visit her, 'and never let her go out unless accompanied by him self. Her father again discovered where she was, and insisted that she should be given up to him. But the prisoner, pretending to be anxious to secure her wel . fare, out of gratitude to her for having revealed the in fidelity of his wife, undertook to send her to school, a_9 to maintain h er till th e age o f 2 1, b ut under the con on that the father should abandon all authority over This was agreed to, and the girl was placed in a boarding school.

THE 8 UN IRELAND TO THE IRISH. We learn from the Times that Prince Alert is in treaty for the purchase of the estates of the late Mr. (" Cruelty to Animals") Martin, of Galway. From Saunders's Newsletter the further announcement is made that " a very influential company has been formed in England, at the head of which is represented to be Prince Albert, for the purchase of lands in this country (Ireland). Their purchases are expected to be on a most extensive scale, and persons in their employment are now busied, obtaining information on the spot, as to the position and value of various estates." It may be remembered by our habitual readers that a few weeks ago we ven tured to inform the founder of the Crystal Palace that we bad other work for the master-band of one who had proved himself so able a journeyman, and that we called upon him to address himself to the regeneration of Ireland—an achievement to which we con sidered him perfectly competent. Our words, it will be seen, have not been uttered in vain. The suggestion was not more apt than the apprehen sion has been rapid. The nation, by the anoint ment of public opinion, is unanimously crowning the Prince with the civic coronet of master of this public work. We earnestly hope that the announcement of our contemporary rests on some basis more authentic than an Irish report, which is too often the result of a mere blank cartridge. We are the more induced to entertain this expectation, because the statement is adopted, and carried to a further circumstantiality, lay the "first journal in Europe, ' and because it carries with it much antecedent probability. The considerations which we have pressed upon the attention of statesmen as conditions prelimi nary to any overt action in this direction, suggest themselves therefore at present with more than ordi nary urgency. In reference to these Martin estates, it Las happened to ourselves to know inti mately that their acquisition was very strenuously recommended to a great capitalist, by a party who understood that the whole could have been ac quired for 40s. an acre in fee simple, or at a price of 500,000/. The reply was characteristic, and at the same time most instructive :—" I can buy the whole at = 3 os. an acre, or for 250,0001.; but who will guarantee me a maximum poor-rate, or insure me against the whole being swallowed up in feeding s t u rdy beggars ?" We intreat these best and most devoted, because most practical and utilitarian, pa triots, to pause before entering pell-mell into this undertaking ; and to insist upon having an assu rance from Government of protection from ex cessive local burdens, as an indispensable prelimi nary condition of their commencing a work which can only be successful by being exempted from subjection to the vicissitudes of eleemosynary mendi cancy and the pauperism of universal famine. Here is a scarecrow that may well frighten the most enterprising from settling on this field without the securities upon which we have insisted. " A single modern instance, " observes our contemporary of the Atlas, is worth a thousand saws ;' let us take one from the records of the Irish Encumbered Estates Court. In the peerage of that country is inscribed the name of a family who have heretofore been wealthy in more than repute. The grandfather and father of the present Peer enjoyed enormous revenues, and expended be tween them 80,0001. in the erection of a baronial man sion. Perhaps from this outlay on bricks and mortar, perhaps from other causes, they transmitted the ancestral estates, burdened with a mortgage of 50,0001. When the last heir succeeded to the title he inherited a considerable estated from a collateral branch, settled and without encumbrance, together with a prior claim of 30,0001., upon the paternal properties other wise burdened, as we have stated. He had, therefore, the choice of succeeding to the property under all contingencies, or of resting contented with his 30,0001, and his separate estates. As the lands left by his father were valued at the time at nearly 130,000/., the heir elected to take the whole. He resigned his own debt, and became liable for the 50,0001. mortgage, and took possession of the whole property. But ere long came the potatoe blight, and the consequent era of distress. The new peer found his rents melt under his hands, the rates for relief continued to mount, until they rose to a nominal sixteen shillings in thappound, and a real amount for transcending the net receipts from the rental. He was unprepared—not knowing, unfor tunately, that, after all, he was only a manufacturer —for this call upon his capital. The mortgage in terests fell into arrear ; the mortgagee, using his own legal powers, superseded the accustomed steward by a ' receiver,' who neither saw nor considered the exigencies of the case; the tenants were uncared fur, and, as an inevitable consequence, the whole enterprise went to rain. The estate now figures among the lands to be sold by Baron Richards, and will pro bably yield scarcely as much as will satisfy the mort gage creditor, dragging the noble name of Gort through the derogations that attend a process in the Encumbered Estates Court." The shrewd insight of the capitalist into the real dependencies which sur- round the subject was, it may here be seen, prophetic. The correspondence betwQe❑ the Earl of Lucan and Lord John Russell arises out of, and illustrates, the practical results of the same policy. The Board of Guardians contend only for this, that a national cala mity should be relieved, not by local, but imperial resources ; and that there can be no security for sober calculations of investment, or the fair enjoy ment and proper improvement of property, if pauper relief is to be made so capriciously local, and so rigidly parochial, as that a proprietor must maintain, not only the poor on his own, but also those on his neighbour's estates ; and may at any time find that all his energy, enterprise, and skill are totally inade quate to avert the entire absorption of his means by hordes of clamorous and idle beggars. We observe that, besides the larger and more wealthy institution at the head of which British capitalists are desirous to have the countenance of the Prince Consort, a company has bees registered under the provisions of the Friendly Societies Act, called the " Small Pro prietors' Society of Ireland," which proposes to apply to the acquisition of arable soil for the purposes of farming, the principle and working machinery of our English Benefit Building Societies, or rather our Freehold Land Societies, which buy at wholesale price large blocks of land, and retail them out in small parcels to their members also at prime cost. Mr. Scully, in an elaborate pamphlet, vouches for the . . . perfect technical legality of the projects ; and we see by the calculations in the prospectus that by the ma chinery of co-operative capital, good land may be acquired at 101. per acre in fee simple, so that a snug little farm of fifteen acres may be transferred to the frugal hoarder of 1501., made up in monthly instalments. All these projects and ru mours of projects prove that the revival of a yeoman class who till their own land is the chief topic of the day ; and that the mutual co-operation and purse clubbing of the many is rapidly changing the tenure and class of landowners. Absenteeism is being vir tually starved out or sold up. A new constituency, resident local, democratic, and independent, will gra dually command the entire representation of the island; and the feudal power and principle will dis appear in everything but in name and title. We con fidently predict that, under such a system, these realms are more likely to produce a surplus of food for other nations, than to require foreign contingents to supply their own deficiency ; because it is as true now as it was in the time of Arthur Young, that " give a man a nine years' lease of a garden, and he will convert it into a desert ; give him the secure pos session of a bleak rock, and he will turn it into a garden." Now a poor-law deprives him, as we have seen, of that secure possession. Its operation is capricious and uncertain ; the amount of its demands upon the household exchequer of the industrious is purely problematical, inveterately irregular, entirely beyond all power of reckoning. The poorest son of toil and industry may find himself called upon, not only to maintain himself and his large family, but his neighbours', and that, too, at the very time when the pinch is greatest upon himself. The nonsense about local self-government is but a poor answer to this. Gi ve every house h o ld er t h e r i g ht t o return continuing th e v legi s l ators of the kingdom, and " local self-go . ofe r nrn n"will l oo k a f ter itse lf w i t h ou t t h e necess i ty John by w B a u yo l Bull f absurdity get tin g o rid f of avowedly creating one nuisance another.

Whenever the cost of sup porting the poor encroaches seriouE ly and permanently upon the resources of the nation—that is to s a y, whenever the maximum poor-rate is inadequate to meet the claims upon the fund, it is high time to de vise other means of relief, and a power should be ' given to parishes to remove their surplus pauperism to your healthy, wealthy, happy, and thinly populated colonies, where they are wanted, and may become but for in dependent_,t if they will, or to transplant them to our " 0 tie waste lands, which they may labour and make productive, kingdom. of Ireland, the increase not only for their own support, increase of the permanent wealth of the A noble career opens to the regenerators and.

IN RE SALTER AND EVANS. The bankrupts were described as tailors, and bad carried on business in Upper King-street, Blooms bury, and Cornhill. This wag the certificate meeting. Mr. Lawrance appeared for the bankrupt Salter, Mr. Linklater for the assignees, and Mr. Ripon for a creditor. Mr. LAWRANCE said that the bankrupt Evans was suffering from an accident, and it was suggested that there should be an adjournment. The only question was whether Salter's certificate should be adjourned. Mr. LINKLATER said the assignees were perfectly ready to go into the case. Mr. RIPON, on the part of an individual creditor, applied that the matter should be adjourned, in order that both bankrupts might be present to explain cer tain matters face to face. Mr. Liwitericn said his client would not be preja. diced by an adjournment for three months. Adjournment for three months ordered, and pro tection granted. The bankrupt, I. Creed, innkeeper, Chadwell St Mary, Tilbury Fort, obtained a certificate of the se , cond class without opposition. IN RE IS46TEHEAD AND M.TT.' The bankrupts were rectifiers in Lambeth. This was an adjourned examination. The last examination was adjourned for the production of one Bowskill. Mr. MICHAEL, for the assignees, said nothing had been heard of him up to this day, and the commis sioner before whom the last examination took place said it was necessary that Bowskill should be produced. Mr. Wilkins appeared for Whitehead the elder and Whitehead the younger, and Mr. Smith for Wyatt. The COMMISSIONER said there was nothing which he had heard to-day to alter the opinion with regard to the necessity of producing Bowskill, the production of Bowskill being necessarily imposed upon the bank rupts. The transactions with him being so shortly before the bankruptcy, it was necessary they should be inquired into before the bankrupts passed. He (the Commissioner) could not draw any distinction between the bankrupts till all the facts were before the Court. The better course would be that each bankrupt should have protection for a month, and the examination be adjourned sine die. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. William Wilmhurst and George Cousins were charged with having robbed Esther Hooper of a watch. The prosecutrix, an old woman, keeps a grinder's shop in Artillery-lane, and on i'ednesday Cousins walked into the place and asked for a half penny worth of nails. While she was serving the nails she heard her kitten "bawl out and spit," and looking into the parlour she saw Wilmshurst treading upon little puss. Suddenly he darted out of the house with the watch, which was in a stand, and was fol lowed by Cousins, who left the nails behind him. The poor woman in vain ran after the thieves. On the same evening Cousins sold the watch for Bs. to a porter, whom he and his companion met and told they were tradesmen out of work. The prisoners were two days afterwards apprehended by Jarvis, one of the most active of the City detective police, and as the officer was taking them to the Mansion-house, Wilmshurst acknowledged that he had stolen the. watch while Cousins was occupying the old woman's attention about the nails. The prisoners were committed for trial. GUILDHALL. Catherine Samson, describing herself as an un fortunate young girl, was placed at the bar before. Alderman Sir R. W. Carden, charged with stealing a gold watch, value 101., from the person of Mr.. James Malkie, of Cork. Prosecutor said I was walking down Chancery lane last night, between 11 and 12 o'clock, when I met the prisoner, and I lost my watch. Sir R. W. CARDEN—A nd what do you, charge the, prisoner with ? Prosecutor—Why, Sir with taking; my watch. Sir R. W. CANDEN—Did . you see her take it ? Prosecutor—No, Sir, but I know she is the person who took it. Sir R. W. CARDEN—Did she speak to you ? Pro secutor—Well, Sir, perhaps I had a little drop in my head, for I do not recollect what she said to me.. Sir R. W. CARDENHOW do you know she took your watch ? Prosecutor—l could not swear to it. I know the chain was round my neck, and tb e swivel gave way. Sir R. W. CARDEN—Did you feel any jerk? Pro secutor—Why, of course I must have felt it. Sir R. W. CARDEN—That will not do ; did you feel a jerk ? Prosecutor—Certainly ; but I don't re member it.—(Laughter.) Sir R. W. CARDEN—Did you speak to the girl ? Prosecutor---I believe I did. Sir It. W. CARDEN—You said that perhaps you had a little in your head—pray what had you been drinking ? Prosecutor—Some oysters (Great laughter)—and some ale, Sir. Sir R. W. CARDEN—How much ale ? Pr osecu t or —I don't know the name of it, Sir.—(Laughter.) Sir It. W. CARDEN—I did not ask you for the name. Did the prisoner drink with you ? Prose cutor—l am not sure; but she was with me when I was drinking at Pearson's, in Cursitor-street. I can't remember how much I had, for I had been in a public house in Holborn previously. Sir R. W. CARDEN—What had you to drink there ? Prosecutor—Some oysters also—(Laughter)—and some ale, but I can't recollect how much. Sir R. W. CARDEN-110' N many public-houses had you visited before that ? Prosecutor—l really can't tell—(Laughter)—l had been all about town. Sir R. W. CARDEN—Then you do not know any thing of the affair at all ? Prosecutor—l do not, Sir. Sir R. W. CARDEN—N or the prisoner ? Prosecu tor—No, Sir. But I know the girl at the bar. Prisoner—Did you not tell the inspector at the station that you had never seen me before ? Prose , cutor—l did say so. Sir R. W. CARDEN—Tb.en what do you mean by swearing here that you know her ? Prosecutor—No more I do know the girl--that is, I knew her then. Sir R. W. CARDEN—You appear to recollect no thing of what has transpired ; Pray, .are you sober now ? Prosecutor—l believe I am. Sir R. W. CARDEN—I suppose you are not sure of that—are you ? Prosecutor--No, Sir.--(Laughter.) Sir R. W. CARDEN—Ha ve you recovered your watch ? Prosecutor—No, Sir. I wish I had; I wouldn't be here. • Sir R. W. CARDEN—And now tell me what you are by trade ? Prosecutor—Nc , thipg, Sir. Sir E. W. CARDEN—What are you, then ? Pro secutor—l am a gentleman, living on my means. Sir E. W. GARDEN—Then you ought to know better. The officer here said that he had found the handle of the watch near the spot indicated by the prose cutor, who was so intoxicated that he was unable to give any information 0.3 to the person who had stolen his watch. Witness apprehended the prisoner merely on suspicion. He had made inquiries, and found that the prosecutor had been drinking at Pearson's, in Cursitor-street ; but the landlady positively declared the prisoner was not with him at all in her house. Sir R. W. CARDEN—There is no evidence against the girl, and I must therefore discharge her. Prosecutor—Very well, Sir, I have no objection. Sir R. W. CARDEN—And you will lose your watch. Prosecutor—l suppose so. Sir R. W. CARDEN—YOU see, Mr. Malkie, this is all the effects of getting drunk. Prosecutor—l admit it is very improper. Sir R. W. CARDEN—It certainly is. However, the loss of your watch is a good penalty for your indis cretion, and I hope it will be a lesson to you, that when you stray again from home you will not forget that you are a gentleman of independent property, and not get drunk.—(Laughter.) The prisoner was then discharged, and the prosecu tor was seen inquiring most anxiously for the re porters, as he was afraid his friends in Curk would hear of him through their means. MARLBOI?OUGII-STREET. lgnatz Griller, a printer, was yesterday charged with defrauding Susannah Dixon of a half-sovereign and 103. The prosecutrix stated that she was a national schoolmistress, and resided at No. 42, John-street, Tottenham-court-road. About six weeks ago she lent the prisoner about 41., and on the 29th of Sep tember last he came to her and told her he was going to pay her 10s. off the 41. He then gave her the medal produced, which she thought was a sovereign, and she gave it to her assistant to procure change, and when she came back the prisoner took the change, consisting of a half-sovereign and 103., and left the place without giving witness the 10s. he had promised. Ann Austin, an assistant to the last witness, proved changing the coin produced, and giving the change to the prisoner. Susannah Webb, 6, Little Howland-street, confec tioner, deposed that on the 29th of September the medal produced was brought to her by last witness, and she gave her a half-sovereign and 10s. in silver. She put the medal, which she thought was a sove reign, in the teapot in the parlour ; no one went there but herself, till about half an hour after, when she required change, and took it to the Bull's Head, in Tottenham-court-road, where it was refused. Drake, 122 E, proved taking the prisoner into cus tody. Hayes, 82 E, said, about fifteen days ago he took the prisoner into custody for another offence. He then searched him, and found upon him 16 medals similar to the one produced, bearing on the obverse side the Queen's head, and on the reverse a man on horseback, surrounded by the words, " the way to Hanover." The prisoner, who seemed to treat the matter very slightly, denied all knowledge of the coin being worthless. He was a foreigner, and not well ac quainted with English money. The prosecutrix, to whom he formerly paid his addresses, must know that he did not intend any fraud. The defendant was committed for tria l. WORSHIP-STREET. Samuel Monsire and William Welch, two youths of 15 or 16, both of whom were recognised as the con stant associates of thieves, and one of them numerous times in custody and once convicted of felony, were charged with robbery at the shop of , Mr. Charles Faulkner, a silversmith and jeweller in Catherine street, Hoxt on. The prosecutor's wife stated that, while seated in her parlour at four o'clock on the previous afternoon, the prisoner Monsire and another youth suddenly pre , ented themselves at the window, round one of the panes of which, opposite a jewel-tray, she saw the former ra pidly draw one of his fingers. This act excited her suspicion, and she went to the door, but both boys had then disapeared, and upon looking at the pane where they had been standing, she was surprised to find that in that short time not only had the greater part of the putty which secured the glass been cut away from it, but that the pane itself had been starred in a very peculiar manner, though she had not heard the sound of its cracking. She communicated this fact to one of her neighbours, who expressed an opinion that it had been done by shoplifters, who would be sure to return, and she therefore kept a sharp watch for two hours, but nothing more was seen of them till half past six, when the prisoners returned with a third boy, and, arranging themselves so as to cover each other, Monsire went up to the glass, rapidly touched the bottom of the pane, handed something to the third boy, and then all three has tened quickly away. The whole occurrence was so dexterously executed that she had not time to get near them, to interrupt their operations, but upon again looking at the pane they had touched she found that a portion of the glass had been silently forced out, and two valuable gold rings abstracted through the hole they had made in it. David Howe, the neighbour referred to, deposed to seeing the two prisoners at the prosecutor's window at four o'clock, and then suddenly dart away. Upon learning from Mrs. Faulkner the result of their la bours he also kept watch for them, and when they returned, two hours and a half afterwards, he saw Welch go cautiously up to the window, apparently force something through it, and then, after hand ing something to their accomplice, who stood ready to receive it, all three ran off. He hastened out to intercept them as fast as be could, though not quickly enough ; but upon noticing the hole made in the glass he pursued and captured the two hindmost ones, Welch and Monsire, whom he forced back to the prosecutor's, where he held them till they could be given in charge, when upon their removal to the station it was found that they had left behind them in the shop a stout piece of wire twisted into a hook, with which there could be no doubt that the rings had been drawn through the fracture. Robinson, of the N division, deposed that upon taking the prisoners into custody they indignantly denied the charge, but upon taking them to the stat ion and searching them he found two strong clasp-knives in their possession, the ends of the largest blades of which were bent back in a peculiar manner, similar to a farrier's paring -knife, and admirably adapted to rapidly cut out any window to which they might be applied. Morrell, of the H division, who was accidentally in court upon other business, identified both prisoners as old acquaintances in much the same terms as those before given, and, the prisoners having confined them selves to a general denial of all that was alleged against them, they were ordered to be committed for the completion of the depositions. SOUTHWARK. John Lucas, the driver of a cab plying at the South- Eastern Railway terminus, was summoned by Mr. Welch, a barrister, for refusing to take him as his fare, and also with refusing to show his metal ticket when requested so to do. The complainant stated that on his arrival at the London-bridge terminus from the country, being anxious to get to his chambers as quickly as possible, having an important engagement, he went up to the stand, and, seeing the door of the defendant's cab open, he placed his carpet-bag inside, and then got in himself, and desired the defendant to drive him to Stone-buildings, Temple. The defendant, however, refused to take him, and he was compelled to get out, and the detention he experienced before he could get another cab put him to considerable inconvenience. He added that he had been served in a similar manner before, the cab-drivers imagining that they were jus tified in refusing to drive any but those from whom they expected the longest and best fares. But his (the complainant's) principal object in preferring the charge was on public grounds, as he was convinced that several travellers by railroad were put to the same inconvenience. Although he had also summon e d the defendant for not exhibiting his badge, he should forego that, not wishing to press that charge. Mr. ATECKETT referred to the Ist and 2d of Wil liam IV., which rendered it imperative on the driver of a public carriage, if not previously engaged, to go with any person by whom he was hired, under a pe nalty for refusing. The magistrate then asked th e defendant what he had to say in answer to the charge ? The defendant said that he acted in conformity with the regulations of the South-Eastern Railway authori ties by refusing to take the fare in question; his cab was not the one on the rank whose turn it was to take up; and if he had complied he would have sub jected himself to a fine of si. by the railway regula tions, besides being turned off the rank, and not per mitted to come there again. Mr. Welch said, if such regulations were in ex istence, they were calculated to put the public to much inconvenience by detaining p assenge r s on their arrival at the terminus in the manner he was detained. Mr. A'BECKETT asked a railway inspector present if such regulations were made by the railway company ? The answer was in the affirmative, upon which the magistnste said that the Act of Parliament to which he previously referred made the charge against the defendant an offence for which he was liable to a heavy pen a lty, independently o f the rules of the rail way company ; it was evident, however, he had acted under a mi sapprehension, as he considered he was justified by the regulations. On that account he should not in. qict the full penalty, but on future occa sions, if the cab drivers who plied at the railway terminus did not comply with the Act, and think .they were justified in picking their fares instead of going with those la . ! r whom they were hired, if not previously engaged, he should in that case put the law in force. The magistrate then inflicted a nominal penalty on the thfenciant, together with the costs. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. DUBLIN AND KINGSTOWN. half-yearly meeting of this company was held on Saturday at Dublin, Mr. J. Magee in the chair. The report stated that the revenue account for the half-year ending the Ist of September showed a small decrease in the receipts of 4441,, as compared with the corresponding period of last year, which was nearly compensated for by a reduction in the expendi ture to the extent of 4301. Including the balance from the ,last account, the result of the half- y ear's working Produced an available sum of 15,0701., being 1,4691. more than the corresponding period of 1850. The engineer reported that the works on the line were in a perfectly efficient state of repair, and that the bridge over the Dodder was completed in the most efficient manner, without having occasioned any ma terial interruption to the ordinary traffic, and with no extra charge for the ironwork beyond the sum con tracted for. The director. stated that the application to Parliament for a Bill to enable the company to treat with the Waterford, Wicklow, and Dublin Company for a re-assignment of the powers for making the line from Kingstown to Bray had failed through the opposition of the other parties. The Dublin and Kingstown Company made a proposal to the Com mittee on the Bill to construct the line from Kings town to Bray, as the company were desirous of secu ring its formation, which they believed could be done within a period of twelve months, and that if the powers to make the line to Bray were transferred to them, they could on the completion of the Waterford, Wexford, Wicklow, and Dublin line from Bray to Wicklow, within a given period, and on repayment to them of the sum expended in the formation of the line from Kingstown to Bray, retransfer the line to the three W.'s Company, subject and without preju dice to any agreements now subsisting between the companies. The proposal was at first favourably received by the Committee, but was resisted by the other parties, and finally rejected. From the available balance before stated the board recommended a di vidend for the half year of 4 per cent. on the paid up capital of 260,0001., leaving a balance of 4,530/. to be carried to the next account. The income of the railway for the past six months amounted to 27,0441., and after paying working expenses, rates and taxes, together with the interest on borrowed money, the sum of 15,0701. remained for dividend. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the re port, observed that the next half-yearly meeting was the one at which a detailed account of the receipts and expenditure would be given. The rolling stock was in perfect order, and considering that they had a dividend of 4 per cent. for the half-year, he thought they were in a satisfactory position. Mr. KANE seconded the motion, and it was adopted unanimously. It reply to a question it was stated that the atmo spheric line from Kingstown to Dalkey did not yield a profit of itself, but it was looked upon as a feeder to the main line. The fares were exceed ingly low—namely, 2d. per passenger by the first class, and ld. per passenger by the second class car riages. The gross receipts on the atmospheric line during the half-year amounted to 1,1341., and the ex penditure to 919/., leaving a profit of 2151. ; but this amount would be absorbed in the expenses during the winter half-year, at the end of which it would be found that the receipts and expenses would balance each other, and leave neither profit nor loss. The first year the Dalkey line was open for traffic the receipts on the Kingstown line were increased by 5,0001. over those of the previous year, and although the extension to Dalkey showed no profit on the work ing, it was profitable as a feeder to the Dublin and Kingstown line. A resolution approving of the dividend was then passed, and the meeting separated. AN AMERICAN NURSE'S SPEECH. The following speech, delivered to an Alderman's child, while the nurse was undressing it, was taken in short-hand, from her own mouth, by the reporter of the Bu/Ja'o Advertiser:— The child cries, while nurse sings, Heigh, baby-bunting! Poppy's gone a-hunting. "Dids 'em, dids 'em vex my child? What does my child cry for? Did 'em take my child's hobby-horse? 0 do blessing on it: t'shall have it den again, and ride abroad with its flown pappa.—Go, naughty daddy, go! What! ride abroad and not take its nown child with it? We'll tell mamma. It shall be a mayor itself, some time or other, and ride in its nown coach; aye, that it shall, and it's old nurse shall ride with it. [Child cries louder.] Husb-adea! hush-adea! Won't it bo a mayor? It shan't be a mayor, then! It shall be anything, so it won't cry so. Hush-aden! Did I say it should be a mayor, and 'front mine own child? It sha'nt be a mayor: it shall be a judge or a bishop; for I'm sure my child would make as good a judge or bishop as any judge or bishop among them. Dod a bless it! 'tis quieter now. Aye, aye, it shall be a bishop; and old nurse will make it so. Hush•aden! what if an old woman should make it so? [Nurse having stripped it, it cries louder than before.] Well. Mercy on me! who'd bo a nurse? —0 thee'rt a tiresome brat! What, never leave cryiag? Well, I won't huff it no more." THE LONDON GAZETTE, Oct. 14 LIVERPOOL, OCT. 9, 1851.

It appears that, after considerable exertions on the part of the directors to induce the inhabitants of North Devon to subscribe 50,0001., the proportion of capital allotted to be raised in that district before commencing the works, they have succeeded in obtaining subscrip tions to the extent of 41,0001., leaving a deficiency of 9,0001. The line is to be constructed on the broad gauge, and to join the Exeter and Crediton line at Crediton, and thence passing through the valley of 'raw to Narnstaple. The length of line to be com pleted is about 36 miles, and the directors have pledged themselves not to resume the works until the whole of the 50,000/. is subscribed for by the land owners and other parties in the district through which the line is intended to pass. It is expected that the line when completed will be of considerable advantage to parties locally interested, and from the arrangement with Mr. Brassey, the contractor, that it will yield a moderate dividend to the shareholders. SHREWSBURY AND HEREFORD. Nearly 2,000 men and between 300 and 400 horses are in active operation in the formation of the line from Shrewsbury to Hereford, and the consequence is that all the works are advancing most rapidly. The following is an account of the progress made :—The viaduct over the low land on the sides of the river Rea at Shrewsbury has been completed, and the bridge over the expanse of the Abbey Foregate will shortly be advanced. In excavating for one of the piers, at a depth of ten feet from the surface, was discovered a portion of an old stone wall connected with the Abbey; and on the other aide the remains of an old bridge were found; and it is conjectured that these are the remains of a bridge which for merly led to the monastery over the adjacent marshy ground. The bridges throughout the line are nearly finished. The principal river bridges are at Reabrook, Wis stanstow, Onnibury, and Corve, and are all in a for ward state. The deep cutting at Acton Scott, which is thirty feet, is fast going on ; and at the long cutting at the Grange the labour is carried on both day and night, and this is also the case at Leebotwood. There is also a heavy excavation near Sutton Grange, with several others of minor importance, whi c h are being rapidly pushed on. The permanent way is laid down from the Shrews bury embankment to Sutton-bridge. Beyond Sut ton-lane the way is again laid down, and such is the case beyond Poole. The permanent way from Lud low will soon be laid to the Craven Arms, where there will be a station of some importance. Ten stations will be erected between Shrewsbury and Ludlow. We understand that the gradients through out the line are superior to almost any other line; with a solitary exception they are not more than 1 in 160. The authorities have promised to have the railway to Ludlow opened by Christmas, and there is every prospect that such will be the case. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. BRISTOL, OCT. 14.

Wo regret to annoance the death of Dr. Gunn, one of the classical masters of the Edinburgh High School, which took place on Wednesday morning at his house in Buccleuch-Place, after a long illness. Dr. Gunn was born at Redding, in the parish of Polmont, in the year 1806. He was educated at the High School, and among other proofs of his industry and ability he carried off, in 1823, the gold medal in the rector's class. His career at the University was equally distinguished, he having been the first to acquire the gold medal awarded by the Writers to the Signet to the best scholar in the senior humanity class. In October, 1829, Dr. Gunn, as its first rector, opened the Edinburgh Southern Academy—an in stitution still in existence. The writings of Dr. Gunn con sist, among other works, of " Hints on the Study of Biblical Criticism in Scotland" (1838), and "Religion in Con nexion with a National System of Instruction" (1840). He edited the first five books of Livy, with notes alai index; the orations and writings of Cicero; the select works of Robert Rollock, first Principal of the Univer sity of Edinburgh, for the Wodrow Society; "Rudi ments of the Latin Language" (now in use in the High School of Edinburgh), and " Virgil," with an introduc tory memoir and notes, for " Chambers' Educational Course." During the last years of his life the name of Dr. Gunn was associated in a somewhat prominent form with the question of national education, It is no secret that an appointment as inspector of schools, projected by the Governm , Jit in his favour, was withdrawn (as he himself stated in public) " in virtue of an expressed want of confidence on the pert of the Education Committee of the Fi JO Church." Dr. Gunn has left a family of five children.—Zdirtburgli News.
