PO LICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. William Blocksaman, a share-jobber, was brought be t,. Lord Mayor, charged with having caused an ob r• Bartholomew-lane, near the Stock Exchange. George. White. policeman No. 24, stated that, on Thursday the defendant, who was in the habit of jobbing about It., Stock Exchange, and using language, in the time of ex ()tenant, of a very objectionable kind, exhibited a specimen of more than ordinary powers of language in his favourite line. The witness had had occasion to reprove the gentle man more than once for having uttered language calculated to make any other gentleman shun him, but so far did he ex ceed his former efforts in the present instance, that it was suite impossible to let the matter pass without an appeal to e magistrate for the sake of common decency. It was in vain the witness remonstrated with the defendant, who was evidently intoxicated, and who, upon being requested to ab etin from the use of particular words, only known in the v. , cabula7 of vagabonds, became worse and worse, and pulling out a purse of sovereigns, shook it, saying it contained the little -- which talked all languages, and asked witness ;o take share of a bottle of wine. The LORD MAYOR asked the defendant whether he ad mitted that he was guilty of having used the language attri - !Jilted to him, and of having caused the obstruction ? The .iefesilant—The fact is, I was at Vauxhall the night before, and the punch there got rather about me. The Lonn MAYOR (to the policeman)--Did the defendant positively cause an obstruction in the place ? The police man —Certainly he did, my Lord. He is in the habit of getting drunk, and then his language is most awful, and his extraorinary conduct collects a crowd, greatly to the impe diment of public business. In fact, it is frequently very difficult for the members of the Stock Exchange to get in or out of the building in consequence of the crowds of jobbers, so that anything out of the common way caused quite an obstruction. The defendant—l am not aware of having acted impro perly. It is true I had taken more than I ought to have taken, but I think the officer would have been better em ployed in removing the thieves which flock into the alley and rob all round, than in annoying respectable men. I have lost a fortune in the Stack Exchange, and now I get my living in the alley, and can refer you to first-rate men for my cha racter. The Lonn MAYOR regretted that, within the last few days, three cases had been brought befor him which were not at all creditable to the parties concerned. He hoped he should have no other cases of the description to adjudicate upon, and he tined the defendant 10s. for the obstruction, observing that with respect to the language, which no doubt more strongly operated upon the respectable feelings of the policeman than the violation of the laws, he should leave it to the cool re flection of the defendant to apply so bitter a corrective to the moral offence which had been committed. The defendant, upon whom the hint had apparently some effect, paid the fine, bowed, and retired. A sailor, named John Williams, who belonged to one of the foreign steam-vessels, was charged with having in hie pos session a quantity of tobacco upon which the duty had not been paid. A Custom-house officer proved that the defendant had been seen getting away cautiously from an Ostend steam vessel, an cutting along as if he feared that every stone under him would " tell the tale," and that upon being ques tioned he seemed not to understand what on earth smuggling wad. _ _ The LORD MAYOR—Where was the tobacco found? Officer—ln his hat and stockings. The prisoner—l never had a bit of tobacco before, my Lord, and I never thought there was the least harm in carry- ing a bit that I got lawfully at the other side of the water. The LORD MAYOR (to the officer)—Do you know this man to be a person engaged in this sort of business? The officer —No, my Lord. The prisoner—l do assure you, my Lord, I never did any :1111g of the kind before; and I never, s'elp me Lord, sus vected there was any harm in it. The LORD MAYOR—HoId your tongue. If you thought 'here was no harm in it why did you stow it in your stock ings ?—( Laughter.) You are fined 205., and take care how You are brought before me again as a defendant in this line. MARY LEBONE. Testerday Ellen Meadows, Henry Alderson, and John G raw, were placed at the bar before Mr. Long, charged with having been concerned, with another person not in cus eody, in **snuffing and robbing Mr. Robert Jones, who de .eribes himself as an independent gentleman, residing at No. 17, Wakefield-street, Regent-square. Proteeutor stated, that on the preceding night, about ten 'eeeck, as he was proceeding along Drummoad-street, ieuetou-square, adjacent to the terminus of the London and, liirineigheen Railway, he was accosted by the female pri eoner, who requested that he would accompany her to her ;awns; he refused to do so, and was making his way on ,then. M‘Graw suddenly darted from a lamp-post, and ;messed closely against him, at the same moment the pri eoner Aldereon struck him a violent blow, and the woman, t in charge, pulled his left hand behind him, where 71()t e ttae held it forcibly, while Meadows took from his trousers po ekee a silk puree containin g 11/. 14s. in g old and silver, clid 1 .... 0 0 his fob a watch , the guard of which was , by the o f the "tug," trength broken ; he also lost from the pocket gust nam et e a halfpenny. The purse was handed by Meadows : 4 to Alderson, .7 the whole of the party made off he different 4 directions. H e u nr?eecutor) pursued Meadows, and on coming up with her gave L e.r into custody. It appeared, however, that the p rosecutor, when at the etation-house, had stated the eve differently, and that he had alleged that Alderson, and not M`Graw, was the man who ran against him ; the prisoners were therefore dis obey/gest. MARLBOROUGH-S 7I ? EET. DusTatmoN.—A few days ago a young girl, covered with filth end rag., was brought into Court, having been found without any o ther place of abode or shelter than the parks afforded. Mr. Hai:IAN-1m requested Lacy, one of the officers of St. George, eanover-square, to obtain temporary admission for the girl into the woekhouse, and to cause inquiry to be made into the cause of her it dreadful destitul ti to this Court to report on. Yesterday Lacy brouzl the gir the result of the investigation. A wonderful change had been effected in the girl's appear ance. She was clothed decently and comfortably, and bad a look of e x treme propriety, which caused some little prepos session in her favour. She was a very well grown girl, about its years of epe. Lacy said he had ascertained that the father of th e g irl, who had been dead about fifteen years, was boatswain of the Boadicea. The girl, whose name is Elizabeth Reading, had been apprenticed from Greenwich School, as house-servant to a respectable tradesman at Waltham Cross. After her time had expired she had gone into service at Camberwell, to better herself, but her master had gone away in debt, and elle was thrown out of a situation. A married sister in Drury-lane had supported her for some time, but, about a fortnight ago, had been obliged to leave on account of debt, and from that time until found in the park she had been wan dering about penniless and homeless. Lacy reported that the girl was in such a filthy state from ? G roin when brought into the house, that her clothes were obligeel to be burnt- The doctor had reported favourably of her moral rectitude under all her distress. Mr. ILIRDWICK. after giving the girl a suitable admoni tion, ordertsl 10s. to be suppled to her, to enable her to reach her fritndseat Waltham. LAMBETH. IMPOWPANT TO PARISH OFFlCERS.—Testerday three of the overseers of the parish of Lambeth attended before Mr. Henry, in consequence of an intimation given to them of the intention of two respectable inhabitants of the parish to be present to put in bail to prosecute an indictment against the keeper of a house of ill-fame, which has been recently opened eo the great annoyance of the respectable inhabitants in the neighbourhood. As the law at present stands the overseers of the parieh are bound, upon notice being 4erved upon them. to prosecute the keepers of houses.of 11-fame, or in the event of their not doing so to pay the sum of 10/. each, and the expenses, to the parties prosecuting. In the present instance two respectable .nhabitants of the parish, whose families were annoyed and ;heir property depreciated in value, had given the usual notice to the constable of the parish of their intention to enter 'ato the required sureties to prosecute a bill of indictment at the seesion in the event of his (the constable) not taking up the matter on behalf of the overseers. Mr. Ilumphreys, who attended on behalf of the aggrieved -settle, said his clients had no wish whatever to proceed with fhe matter, provided the parish authorities took it up and -,`,aced the nuisance. Mr. !hoer recommended the overseers to proceed in the !eater themselves, as by doing so they would save the -arish a considerable sum. The Overseers observed that they were placed in an awk- I ward dilemma in the matter, as, in the first place, they had n o funds available to such purposes; and if they of them selves proceeded to prosecute the parties, and did not succeed in such prosecution, the auditor under the poor-law would riot pees such en item of expense. Mr. HENRY aslmitted that the overseers were placed in an awkward position, but still, as a matter of justice to the rate payers, the most economical course should be adopted by their officers. In the present instance the overseers should, If pressed to do so, have to pay a reward of 201. to the parties prosecuting, besides the whole of their costs for prosecuting; whereas, by taking the matter into their own hands, - the ex pense might be very trifling indeed. He should recommend the overseers to consult the officers of the parishes of St. tGeorge's-in-the-East and Marylebone, and those of the liberty of the Rolls, on the matter; and he felt perfectly sa tisfied they would best serve the interests of the parish by adapting the course he had recommended. Tito overseers requested a few days to consider the matter, ran? consult with the parish board. Me. _Humphreys said he had no wish to press the parties, but horsed, at the same time, that no more than necessary delay shoehl take place It was ultimately arranged that the matter should stand over until bfenday next, when the SOUTHWAR pa K.rties will again attend. tie vent! of thd parochial officers of Christchurch waited on the Magistrate to enmplain of a nuisance vehich had lately h, and which the inhabitants were eprung up in that p aris most desirous to abate That Blackfriars-road, formerly a turnpike-road, had within the last twelve months (since the partial abolition of turnpikes) been under the control of the parochial officers of Christchurch. Since then the road in "question has been inundated to a great degree with itinerant temders of fruit and other miscellaneous articles, which were to n veyed in barrows with immense large trays on the top, con• e a hei,ag the artic lea they expose for sale. That those barrows were a mai llete obstruction to the passengers, and although the police have been apprised of it, still they will not interfere to remove the nuisance. That they (the applicants) were at a lose how to remedy the evil ; that they meant to proceed by summons _against the parties as their names were not on their barrowa. That the collection of such a number of per eons of the above description in the thoroughfare named, had the effect of congregating thieves to the spot, and as an in etanee of the robbenee that were so prevalent there one of the applicants said that a feW nights since both he and his wife had their pockets picked. That they (the applicants) ha d slot the power vested in then: of engaging a street-keeper, vehich Mat• formerly the case whin " it was a turnpike-road' • an'l that since then they had eves reason to believe the itinerant vendors of fruit and other articles were driven out of Lambeth and had ente re d Christchurch.

In our leader of last week, we advertkl, in general terms, to the subject of apoplexy induced by railway travelling. We now proceed to treat the matter more in detail, and tq offer some further and concluding observations. And we do this the more willingly, because of the interest which the public and the profession naturally feel in this important topic, and because, as there is truth to be arrived at, it is desirable that such truth should be elucidated and made ge nerally known. / It is fitting that we should take occasion, a priori, to state, that the notion of railway travelling having a ten dency to produce apoplexy in persons predisposed to that ailment, is not the offspring of any idle speculation or con ceit, but is indebted for its origin and promulgation to certain matters of fact. These consist of curious and seemingly in explicable instances of apoplexy, occurring to apparently healthy individuals, during, or shortly after, railway travel ling. Almost without an exception, the sufferers were in to lerable health before commencing their journeys, or at least neither complained of nor exhibited any symptoms of cerebral disturbance. This fact, coupled with another of equal importance, namely, that of the sudden deaths (not arising from external injury) of railway tra vellers, the ascertained cause has almost invariably been apoplexy, will remove the anticipated objec tions, that, what would appear to be consequences are merely coincidences—that the individuals might have died at the same time, and of the same disease, had they been placed under other circumstances—and that apoplexy only shares, with other pathological conditions, as an agent of death in the instances in question. The removal of the last objection is a matter of much importance, and, indeed, essential to the whole weight and bearing of the arguments about to be offered. Sudden death, from various causes, we know to be one of the common heritages of humanity, and the wonder of its occurrence ceases with advancing pathological know- ' ledge. Apart from relative considerations, it is not more singular that people should suddenly die in railway carriages than in other places, and did the instances of death so hap pening present a variety, instead of preserving a uniformity of cause, they would be no matter of surprise, but would be con sidered as belonging to the common category of calamity " that flesh is heir to." But when, on the contrary, indi viduals, seemingly healthy, are observed to die under parti cular circumstances, and almost constantly of a particular disease, we naturally enough connect these things together in the relation of cause and consequence. It is not necessary to our purpose that we should give a history of the apoplectic deaths that have occurred during railway travelling—most of our readers, we presume, are fa miliar with the chief of them ; but to such as may net be, we may observe, that one of the earliest of these melancholy events is memorable from Sir Henry Halford, in his delicacy of etiquette, leaving his friend at a lonely station to be bled by any chance surgeon, rather than delay a dinner-party an hour, by himself staying to render the extreme services of humanity and professional skill. More recently, Viscount Canterbury and Lord Bateman have died under these pecu liar circumstances, and to their names might be added many of people in more humble life, who have suffered in like man ner from a like cause. Before proceeding with a further explanation of these things, we must remind our readers that, in treating this subject last week, we premised the probability of a predis position to apoplexy on the part of those who bad fallen vic tims to it on railroads. It is only upon people so constituted that we can suppose trifling moral or physical causes to ope rate with any degree of force in the production of this ail ment. Now, we know that in such people, whether owing their peculiarity of condition to birth, to accident, or to dis ease, the slightest deviations from their ordinary habits and modes of life suffice to place them in jeopardy. Examples of these deviations we shall find, abundsatly enough, in railway travelling. For convenience sake we will divide them into moral and physical. We should say that fear deserves a prominent place in the first division. It is not necessary that we should quote from the many cases on record which prove the influence of this emotion upon the functions of the human organism. We know it to be capable of arresting the heart's action in fatal fainting, or of terminating life more slowly, but as surely, by an impression upon the brain. Nor do we think it impro bable, that amongst the cases of apoplexy which have hap pened upon the railroad, some may have been due to this condition of the mind. It has occurred to us, on many occasions, to witness an agonising fear on the part of travellers sv.to have coupled a terrific pace of the engine, or a passage through a tunnel, with a reflection upon th destiny to which e:ther event might tend. Nor should we be inclined to pay a cempliment to the sensibility of any man whose mind would be int effected by a journey in an express train, or by a transit ti rough one of those awful excavations which typify to one's fancy the vestibules of the grave. It was only the other d that we were travelling in the same carriage with a lady, whenever we approached a tunnel, buried her face, in as unutterable agony of apprehension, in her husband's lap, a. I could scarcely be roused from her silent dread until long sSt sr the object of her terror had been passed. Who can s y that such an amount of fear, in a system less able t., resist it, might not have been productive of nervous poplexss There are some people, again, in whom the mind is s'rongly affected by certain external objects or circum stances operating through the senses. Some cannot Esten to a continued murmur, or noise, without experiencing s painful headache ; others cannot look upon a dazzling, rapidly-passing, or revolving object, without a sensation of giddiness ; and others cannot travel with any degree of velocity but some head trouble or other will be the sonsequence. What are these various states of the brain Lut so many advances to a condition that may be Lite' ? Increase any one of them to a certain extent, and even the strongest will become the victim of apoplexy. And is it any wonder that this should sometimes be the issue of railway travelling in cases of individuals peculiarly susceptible in temperament ? Take, for instance, a man wh6,le head is easily made to ache by monotonous or dis agreeablSS sounds, and subject him to this annoyance on a railroad for foss or six hours in succession, with the addi tional troubles which of necessity await him there, such as absence of diversion, exercise, and uniform ventilation, and it will be no matter of astonishment if he shall suffer from a serious, or even a fatal impression upon his brain. Take another whose head soon becomes disturbed by the sight of objects in rapid motion, and see, after he shall have gazed for hours at the banks and hedges apparently flitting past his carriage, whether he will not be the worse for the experiment. Take a third, who is both morally and physically incapacitated for swift travelling, and depend upon it a ride of one hundred miles in an express train wail make an onslaught upon his nervous stamina. We have never seen a complete case of apoplexy consequent upon railway travelling, but we have met with individuals, of the peculiar temperament just men tioned, who have suffered so seriously from this form of loco motion, as to lead to some apprehension of their safety. And we know plenty more, amongst whom, indeed, we may class ourselves, who can never travel by rail without headache, giddiness, or sickness, more or less severe, and entirely owing to the disturbance which the mind suffers through the af fected senses, This disturbance is not sufficient to be alarm ing, but, vis foram' ritium, it requires no stretch of iruagina tiois for the belief, that in persons of greater susceptibility and leas' vigour, the effects might be fatal. The mischievous influence which railway travelling may exert physically, is perhaps chiefly due to irregular or im perfect ventilation, and to e consequent impediment to the proper performance of the respiratory function. If this be of any continuance, congestion of the brain will of course-result, and apoplexy will be the issue of Cele sing ly,viz. or of one of the consequences to which congestion tends, , extravasation, or effusion. And here, again, we must premise ss that though people the most hale and healthy might probably suffer in sonic measure from the irregular respiration caused by railway travelling, yet only in people of particular states and constitutions could it be expected to threaten fatally. These would be chiefly such as were sufferers from organic disease of the heart, or its vessels, giving rise to interrupted return of blood from the head—from disease of the lungs, limiting their extent of surface, and their efficiency for the purposes of complete respiration—from any mechanical impediments to the due action of the heart and lungs, such as tumours, or fatty- accumulations in the chest, empyema, hydrothorax, or wiles—from laxity of the bloodvessels, favouring ruptare of, or transudation through, their coats—from tendency to deter mination of blood to the brain, &c. These affections we know to be common enough, and we also know that those who suffer front them are amongst the multitude who are exposed to the vicissitudea and liabilities of railway travelling. The irregular ventilation we have spoken of affects, though in different ways, travellers who face the engine, as well as I those who ride with their backs to it. The former, from the pressure of air against them, the latter. from the rush of air from them. We all know what are the effects of facing a very high wind. Inferior animals instinctively turn their backs upon it, and we ourselves observe a similar precaution by a partial inclination of the heed, To breathe in direct opposition 0 it is next to impossible, from the spasmodic closure of the glottis, which almost invariably accompanies the attempt. And it has been found, that if a strong current of air be continuously directed In an animal's face he becomes asphyxiated In a few minutes. This is from spasmodic closure of the glottis ;s we have said. If the current be of less intensity,' so that the respiration of the animal shall be irregular and interrupted, bot without be coming actually suspended, then he slowly falls asleep, and bq continuing the experiment he may be rendered apoplectic /S urse-maids are in the habit of quieting (soporising, we should say,) cross children by blowing in their faces. Now, the draught of air which meets you in a railway carriage, when your face is to the engine and the window is down, will of course vary with the velocity of transit : in many instances the rate is such that you cannot respire, without extreme dif ficulty, under the impetus of air, and in most instances the d upon health indivi duals respiratory function meats w ith a p erce p tible imp are now speaking of the e f f e c t s pr oduce „ ediment. We ( d i s a e l a s s ; e s an w d e s ti n a r N e4y L e u fo p r o e n allhuods e e d w to lt° , yncrasy or local t s h ut e ff se e r effectsfrom mustthe organic pro portionally severe, If a man, who, from i dol ailment, may be unable to mount a flight of stairs, or climb a hill, or face a moderate wind, withont a feeling of suffoca cation and a throbbing head - ache , sh al l travel for several hours by rail with the transit current in h i s fa c e , cell it be any wonder if apoplexy be the consequence? Independently of direct proof of the fact, we should say that analogical evis dence was very conclusively in its favour. People who ride with their backs to a railway engine, of course have thus current of air from them, and this in pro portion to the rate of travel, Under these circumstances respiration is far from natural, end some voluntary effort Is required to draw as much air into 1410 lungs as shall suffice for the proper oxygenation of the blood, After a time this effort ceases to be made—it may be from fatigue, it may be from diverted attention, or from diminished sensibility— whatever may be the cause, the effect will be the same, viz., the imperfect decarbonisation of the blood will be followed by sleepiness or stupor. In a healthy individual it may simply be the former ; but in one liable to congestion of the brain, the latter would not be an unlikely' occurrence. ---,,,------ SEPT. THUNDER-STORM.- 11 0CHESTFIt, 22.—On Thursday evening, between six and seven o'clock, this neighbour. hood was visited by a fearful storm, which fortunately was but of short duration The vivid dashes of lightning were followed by thunder.elaps bud and deep, and aeetunpanied by a heavy shower of hail and rain, during which a young man named Catt, a brick. seeker, about twenty years of age, lost his life. He left strood at about the commencement of the storm, on his way home to Cuxtone, a village on the bank of the Medway, about three miles above Rochester.bridge, and before he had proceeded one-third o the distance lost his life.

Be cautious ; therefore, gen tlemen, of relying upon promises. The proprietors of houses and the tradesmen of Hounslow found it necessary that they should partake of some of the advantages of steam. What had they done ? Why set on foot a direct line.—(Cheers.) Some time since I was solicited by the people of Hounslow, and the property of my family being close by, I accepted a Directorship. I will now state to you 1 1 an extraordinary fact : since the railway to Hounslow has been projected the town has begun to revive, and is now becoming in a prosperous state. The houses are rising in value. I appeal to any gentleman here, whether I could illustrate anythingbetter than by referring to the sister-town of Hounslow to show the depreciation of property in consequence of the railway having passed by it : it is a remarkable fact. Now, I lately have had occasion for a friend of mine, in fact, a relation, to look out for a house with about fifty acres of land. For this purpose I visited most of the house-agents in London, and I found that houses might be obtained cheap where there was no communication with railways, and that houses in the neighbourhood of railways increased in value; one in particular, the terms demanded were reasonable for the first three years, but if taken for a term, the rent increased to an immoderate degree. Upon ray asking the reason, the house-agent replied, " Don't yon know, Sir, a railway is anticipated ? We have the promise of a railway, so that in letting houses fora term of seven years, we expect an increase in rent for the last four years. Now, gentlemen, what kind of persons are likely to benefit the town of Barnet ? It is not the man who is about to take land, or cultivate landed property ; but it is the man who requires a comfortable house with a little garden attached, the tradesman, the lawyer, the barrister, who, after he has realised a certain sum of money, is only too delighted to pass his time in some secluded part of the country ; but you will find they will not do this unless they have some facility for travelling to London and back by railway. If the carriages leave two or three times a day, thus affording easy communication, clerks can visit their employers if need requires their immediate attention, and men of business can come to town and return without diffi culty. If you have a terminus in your town, houses which are at present vacant would soon become tenanted, property will rise in value, trade will flourish, and the dreadful pauperism which now prevails will no longer continue. I may say, without exagge. ration, that the London and York Railway cannot be finished within three years; the present railway will be finished in one year and a half. In offering this to your consideration do we ask you for anything ? No, not even a subscription. We simply offer it to you for your benefit, and if it suits you, you may avail yourselves of the railway, as a means of conveyance. One more remark I would make before concluding, and as it appears to me to be a very important one as regards this town, I would tell you that in offering you this railway, we shall be enabled to do away with a complaint which, I understand, is very prevalent here, viz., that fuel is so dear. Now, as you will perceive by reference to the plan of the proposed line, we shall be in direct communication with the Thames, and enable you to obtain this important article at a much cheaper rate than at present. I think it would be need. less to dwell longer on this point, because it must be obvious to all that the benefits it would confer on the inhabitants of the town of Barnet and its vicinity, and particularly to the poorer classes, must be considerable. In conclusion, gentlemen, I must beg to return you my sincere thanks for the patient and attentive hearing you have given me upon the present occasion. (The Hon. Member sat down amidst long and continued cheering. ) WILLIAM A. HILL, Esq., Deputy. Chairman, after having con. gratulated the meeting upon the eloquent address of the Honour able Member for Bristol, said, he would ask them in what posi tion the town of Barnet new stood, and where was her brilliant display of wares in the shops that formerly were exhibited? When he looked around him, he was sure that some great change had been wrought by the gigantic arm of steam. The Hon. Gentleman who preceded him stated that, that which had brought misfortune and difficulties upon the town must be looked to for succour, and with this he perfectly coincided. He wished it not to be supposed that he and his friends had come there as a band of adventurers. If they looked at the pros pectus, headed as it was by so respectable names, he was certain they could not entertain such a thought. It had already been stated, they asked not for money, •r that the meeting should pledge themselves to incur any liability. All that was required was, that they should be permitted to come into the town of Barnet, and carry out the project. He would only ask them to say, after a careful consideration of the matter, whether the railway would be advantageous or not to the town of Barnet ? He was anxious to cause it to rise like a phoenix from its ashes, and to become a more important town even than it was before. He begged to refer gentlemen present to the map of the proposed line. They would perceive, that it would afford direct communi. cation with the River Thames, east and west, and also several of the principal lines of railway in the kingdom. He had no doubt many present were feeders of cattle; if, then, they wanted to ship their beasts they could do so without that injury which fre. quently occurs if driven to any distance. Here (reference being made to the plane) they would have a direct conveyance to the docks and all parts of the river. Again, they would find, on the other side it would be connected with the London and Bir mingham, and Great Western lines of Railway continued by the West London Junction, at which place it is contemplated to carry the line over the river by a bridge at Battersea, to con nect the latter line with the Southampton Railway. Every re flective mind must see the advantages a railway would afford to the town of Barnet. The traffic has now fallen to decay ; if this be carried out, thousands of persons who never visited the town will do so. He regretted, on entering the town, to see so many houses vacant, which he alone attributed to the want of an easy conveyance. Before concluding, he would say one word upon another railway—he alluded to the London and York. He would caution the meeting not be deluded by promises. He under stood there was some sort of promise to give them a branch from the main line. He would ask the gentlemen present, if such were the case, if the people of Barnet would give their succour to the proposed company, which he represented would restore them to their former glories ? Why ; if a main line were made, it would not come within a mile and a half of the town. He would tell them that no reliance was to be placed on such pro mises. The Gloucester and Birmingham Railway Company en tered into an arrangement with the people of Worcester to give them a branch railway if they did not oppose their line; they did not oppose it—they confided in the promise—but no branch branch was ever made to Worcester, and that once flourishing place was reduced in the scale of cities. In consequence of this, what has taken place? Why, the people of Worcester said they would have a railway of their own, and it has now become the focus of railways. He would pledge himself to bring the proposed line of railway into the town of Barnet. His honourable friend, the member for Bristol, had stated one advantage to be derived from it, and which appeared to him to be of vast im portance, viz., the eonveyance of fuel. He would un. dertake to say that the Clay Cross coals might be delivered at a cost of 18s. to 20s. per ton in Barnet—being a saving of at least 12s. or 14s. on the present price. In conclusion, he must beg to thank the meeting for the attention they had displayed, and at the same time he would take this opportunity of acknow ledging the great warmth and, he might almost add, the affection with which he and his friends had been received by the people of Barnet and all other places they had visited on the proposed lice.— (Cheers.) HURRY HAIIItOND, Esq. of Wentworth Lodge, Finchley, said, that residing in the parish of Finchley, through which the proposed railway was intended to pass, he had been requested to solicit the inhabitants of Finchley to give their support to the present under. taking, which he readily acquiesced in, feeling confident it would be the means of conferring great benefits upon the place and its vicinity ; and he was happy to say that during the three evenings he had been enabled to devote to the matter in going through Finchley, the population of which is scattered over a large extent, he had procured the names of 32 of the most respectable inhabi tants who were all extremely anxious for its completion ; that out of all those he had been able to see there was but one dissentient. He had no hesitation in saying that had he an opportunity of call. ing on every parishioner, 17 or 18 out of every 20 would have consented to have given it their support. He could only say, that, as an inhabitant of Finchley, he:would do all in his power to pro. mote the undertaking.—(Cheers.) FRANCIS WISHAW, Esq., of Hendon, consulting engineer, said that in the absence of the gentleman who had surveyed the pro posed line, and who, from press of business was unable to attend that day, and at the solicitation of the Committe, he attended before the meeting to afford information to any question they might think proper to put. He was a freeholder on the proposed line, and so impressed was he with the importance of railways that he thought that if the people of Hendon had been aware of the meeting they would have put off all other engagements for the purpose of being present. He had called on many of the most influential and re spectable residents in the neighbourhood of Hendon, who all said if the intended railway did not cut through their ornamental pro. perty, they would give their consent and support. It had been asked why so circuitous a route had been taken ? He would an swer feethatt above byst theating leveli twa of London,stheirobj objeet to This av it wasoidHa thatmpst ead, which is 400 precluded their making a more direct line ; but he thought that could not make much difference, for distance was calculated by time in rail way travelling. The whole distance between Barnet and the intended terminus in London might be performed in half an hour. He thought it was not certain that the present projected London and York line would be carried out, on account of the engineering difficulties. He was employed to lay out a direct line between London and York some years ago. The line then chosen was through Cambridge, thence to Peterborough, Lincoln, to York. This was a beautiful line, and presented no difficulties. This line, as gentlemen were aware, as far as Cambridge, was already com plete, and no doubt existed in his mind but that it would be carried on to York. If the projected line to Barnet is not carried out, the people of Barnet cannot say for certain that they ever will have a direct line to Barnet. If the other Company should succeed in obtaining their bill they will say, " Two miles is near enough." It seemed to him, therefore, that if any other Company would promise a line in writing the people of Barnet should not reject this; for if they obtained the other, the people of Barnet would have a twofold advantage. He begged they would mark the con venience in having a terminus direct into Barnet. The people of Barnet would then be enabled to go from their doors and get direct into. London in half an hour. With regard to the engineering, he thought great merit was due to the gentleman who laid out the proposed line. It might, perhaps, be said, on looking at the plan—why not take a more direct line ? But he considered that the present was a more judicious selection, for many reasons, which, if time permitted, he could fully explain. Communication can be had with all trains on the London and Birmingham Railway; besides this, they will have direct commu. nication with the Northern and Eastern line near the Seven Sisters; also the Northern and Eastern Counties Railway, and all the main lines diverging from the before-mentioned railways. He was happy to say there were no engineering difficulties throughout. In conclusion, he begged to add that he should be happy to give any answer respecting the engineering questions that might be put to him. As a freeholder in the vicinity, he hailed the present undertaking as one that would confer great advantages on the town of Barnet and the adjacent villages through which it was in. tended to paas.—(Cheers.) Wm. 11. flet,prm, Esq., said, that the meeting having heard the facts connected with the railway so lolly and ably put before them, he was sorry to trespass on the time of the meeting, but was in duced, from the great interest taken in the projected line by the presence of the numerous and highly respectable body assembled, to offer a few remarks. The present projectors did not come as mere speculators. With the means and friends they possessed, it would have been easy to select any other spot for speculation; but it arose from a desire to connect the town of Barnet with the metropolis, in order that it might keep pace with other towns of the same importance. He supposed, if the promise were kept to make a line within two miles of Barnet, the other Company would not pay the cost of making a branch to it, they would expect the people of Barnet to pay for a feeder to their line, and deprive them of the advantage of visiting their friends at Hendon and Finchley. If left to the branch promised there would be but one straight line to London, and no intermediate stopping places. The projected line is intended to open a direct communication, as will be seen by the plan annexed to the prospectus (reference was here made to the various places mentioned in the prospectus through which the intended line would pass) to a great number of important places hitherto neglected. —(Mr. Halpin then read a long extract from the work of Mr. Wishaw, C.E , where it was stated, on good authority, that in certain parts of Scotland, where formerly there had been scarcely any communication, since a railway had been established the number of persons who travelled by the line was almost incredible, showing that, although traffic may not take place between isolated spots, it does not arise from the non.desire of connnunication, but the want of a cheap and easy mode of con. veyance. The CHAIRMAN said, that having heard the statements of those gentlemen who formed the deputation of the Barnet and North Metropolitan Railway, now was the time, if any gentleman present wished to put any questions, to do so. After some questions had been put by various gentlemen, and answered to their satisfaction, _ . . The CHAIRMAN put the following resolutions, which were carried. Moved by J. SPENCER, Esq., seconded by the Rev. J. D. THOMP SON, and carried unanimously, That it is the opinion of this meeting, that a direct railway communication between the northern districts of the Metropolis and the Town of Barnet, is of vital importance to its prosperity, and is now imperatively called for. 2. It was proposed by BENJAMIN SMITH, Esq., and see,ciided by Mr. JOHN HoeweLL, and resolved 'unanimously, That this meeting hayitldµly cAnokiere4 the pTospectus and map of the line of the proposed Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction Railway, and on comparing the same with the other projected lines does most unhesitatingly declare, that the proposed Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction Railway will afford to the town greater advantages than any line of railway hitherto pro. posed to come In the vicinity of Barnet, it being the only one which will afford to the residents of the town the advantage of a station; and that it deserves the support of the inhabitants and all others having an Interest in Barnet and its vicinity : and that a petition be presented in favour of the line immediately upon the assembling of the Houses of Parliament ; and the meeting pledges itself to further the views of the Company, and resolves that a Committee be appointed to promote the objeet, and secure the in terest of the Town of Barnet. That the Committee consist of— Benjamin Smith, Esq. Mr. John Hopewell Mr. George Bower Mr. James Hill Mr. James Cooper Mr. Brunt Mr. Spencer Rev. Alexander Stuart Rev. John Dawson Thompson (With power to add to their number.) 3. It was propOsed by the Rev. ALEXANDIR STUART. and se- conded by J. SPENCER, Esq., and resolved unanimously, That the thanks of the meeting be tendered to the Hon. F. H. F. Berkeley, the Chairman and the Deputy-Chairman, and the other members of the deputation from the Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction Railway Company, for the able manner in which they have laid before the meeting the project of the Company. 4. It was proposed by WILLIAM HILL, Esq., and seconded by W. W. HALPIN, Esq., and carried unanimously, That a vote of thanks be tendered to John Hey Puget, Esq., for his impartial and able conduct in the chair.

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. WAKEFIELD, PONFEFRACT, AND GOOLE. On Wednesday last, great interest and rejoicings were ex cited in the borough of Pontefract, in consequence of the pro ceedings connected with the firstgeneral meeting of the Share- ' holders of the above Company, which was held at the New Elephant Hotel, Dr. Buchanan, the Chairman ofthe Company, presiding. A brief notice of this fleeting appeared in The Sun of yesterday. Amongst the Directors and Shareholders present were—Captain Laws, James Audus, Esq., of Headingley ; William Moxon, Esq., of Pontefract; J. B. Faviell, Eq., of Featherstone Hall ; Edward Harper, Esq., of York ; Henry Houldsworth, Esq., Chairman of the Manchester and Leeds Railway Company ; Ralph Creyke, Esq., of Rawcliffe Hall; Captain Binstead, of Wakefield; G. Leeman, Esq., and W. F. Clark, Esq., solicitors to the Company ; Captain Bentham, Richard Lee, Esq., of Grove Hall ; James Meek, jun., Esq.. of York ; Dr. Rawdon, of York; W. S. Gibson, Esq., of York; Winn, Esq., of York; William Smith, jun., Esq., of York -; Mr. James Walker, of York ; alr. Chap man, of York ; Mr. Glaisby, of York; Scc. ; also Richard Lee, Esq., of Grove Hall ; John Lister, Esq., of Goole ; Daniel Cass, Esq., of Goole ; John Wilson, Esq., of Goole ; Michael Alitton, Esq., of Pontefract ; Robert arrar, Esq., of Stillington ; Matthias Whitehead, Esq., of Selby ; Wake, Esq., of Goole ; W. Oldfield, Esq., of York ; J. Old field, Esq., of York, /cc. The CHAIRMAN having briefly opened the proceedings, GEORGE LEEMAN, Esq., read an elaborate report from the Directors. They said they had great pleasure, after a long and very arduous conflict, in now meeting he Pro prietors, and laying before them the Act of Parliament for the construction of this important railway. After adverting to different subjects of minor importance, they proceeded to say := _ _ " I our Directors have given instructions for applying inthe next session for the branch line from Methley to Pontefract, as directed by Parliament, and they have also determined to recommend to this Company to continue such branch from Knottingley to join the London and York Railway at or near Askern, which will thus make the shortest line from London to Leeds. The project is most favourably received by the landowners along that branch, and will not only form a very valuable adjunct to this Company's main line of rail way, but will be of great local benefit to the owners of the lime fields which it will traverse. In addition to this branch, your Directors also propose to form a short branch to join the Midland Railways at the south side of the Oakenshaw station, and which is necessary for giving a complete commu nication from Wakefield to the Midland Railway. For the purpose of making these extensions, your Directors propose to issae new shares to the holders of stock in this Company, in the proportion of one new 25/. share for every original share. The Directors have entered into an arrangement with the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Junction Railway Company for extending this line of railway from the point of junction with the London to York line at Askern to Brigg, in Lincolnshire, there to join the Great Grimsby and Sheffield Railway. The capital for this extension is to be provided by the two Com panies, in the proportion of two-thirds by the Grimsby and Sheffield, and one-third by this Company. The scrip for this extension will be issued immediately, and will be provided amongst the proprietors in this Company in the proportion of one 20/. share for every original share in this Company." After the report was read, the CHAIRMAN proposed the fol lowing resolution, via.:—" That the report of the Directors now read be adopted and approved, and also printed and cir culated among the Shareholders." Without entering into a minute detail of account, he might say that the report gave a general idea of the distribution of their money, and what they might expect from their product. They were aware that the capital of this Company amounted to 365,000/, in 7,300 shares of 50/. each. Their Methley and Askern branches would cost 200,000/., and 7,300 shares of 25/. each would amount to 182,500/., :leaving 700 shares, or 17,500 L, for landowners and other expenses. The Grimsby Exten sion would cost 640,000/. ; one-sixth, or 100,000/., they pro posed to give landowners; one-third to the Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole Company ; and the other portion to the Sheffield and Grimsby Extension ; thus affording a 20/. extension share to each original, and making 45/. new stock to every original 501. share. They were not in a position to give a correct financial statement, in consequence of some of the bills remaining unpaid ; but with some few exceptions all the bills have been paid. Mr. OGLE seconded the motion, which was carried. Captain BENTHAM then moved the following resolution : " That the able and satisfactory manner in which the Pro visional Committee have conducted the affairs of this Com pany to a successful termination in Parliament, entitles them to the best thanks of this meeting, and that 150 of the new extension shares be appropriated to ,the Provisional Committee, as some return for their arduous services.". Mr. WAKE, of Goole, seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Itar,rit CREYKE, Esq., in a complimentary speech, moved a vote of thanks to the chairman. which was seconded by J. Aunus, Esq., and carried. The CHAIRMAN then returned thanks, and the meeting separated. REPORT OF THE MEETING OP THE BARNET AND NORTH METROPOLITAN RAILWAY COMPANY. On Wednesday last, the 17th inst. a meeting of the parties inte rested in the proposed Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction Railway was held at the Victoria Hall, Barnet. The meeting was convened for the purpose of receiving a depu. tation, consisting of the Hon. F. H. F. Berkeley,lM.P. for Bristol, W. A Hill, Esi., R. H. Mackenzie, Esq., M.D., William H. Halpin, Esq., and others of the Directors of the Company. Ed ward Elkins, Esq., solicitor, Francis Wishaw, Esq., consulting engineer, for the purpose of explaining the objects of the under taking. The deputati on met a party of gentlemen residents in the Hall.line et the A m G on ree gs n t t M h a o n se , an p d re a se ft n e t rw w a e r r d e s j p o r h o n . r e ei n ad jamin Smith, Esq., the Rev.

Jour( HEY PUGET, Esq., of Totteridge, having been called to the chair, E. Emins, Esq., at the request of the Chairman, read the requisition, signed by a numerous and respectable body of gentle.. men in the town of Barnet and its vicinity, convening the meeting, After which the CHAIRMAN addressed the meeting as follows : " Gentlemen, it is quite unnecessary that I should detain you with many observations, as the meeting will be addressed by several other gentlemen who will enter more fully into the details. I have taken the chair with a desire that the proposition contained in the requisition which you have heard read should have a fair hearing. We have had several projects far railways coming near Barnet, but none of them contemplated making a terminus in the town of Barnet. This project seems to have a greater claim upon our sup. port than any other. Barnet has been well nigh ruined by rail ways • as it is by railways that we have been injured, it is by railways we must endeavour to recover ourselves. (Cries of " Hear, hear.") —As you will be addressed by those gentlemen who have come here from London, t hey will put you in possession of the merits of the undertaking far better than lean, it will not be neces. sary therefore for me to occupy your time longer.—(Cheers.) The Hon. F. H. F. BERKELEY, M.P., rose and said—Gentlemen, I appear before you in the character of Chairman of the Provisional Committee of the Barnet and North Metropolitan Junction Rail way, who have the intention of constructing a line of railway between this place and London ; it has already received consider able support and encouragement from a numerous and highly respectable body of gentlemen in Barnet, and the vicinity through which it is intended to pass. lam directed to state to you, that we have a desire that you should have a direct and immediate communi cation with London. lam not aware that of all the numerous projects set on foot for forming railways, any one has been proposed which will give to the town of Barnet this advantage. The only line which bears upon Barnet is the London and York, and that does not come within two miles of the town ; in addition to which, at present it has met with very considerable opposition. Even if the Bill passes, it will be three years at least before it can possibly be com:)leted, and then they will not grant you a terminus in the town of Barnet. Now, gentlemen, permit me to point out to you why this line will be of considerable advantage to you all. It must be of the utmost importance to the town of Barnet to have a terminus, and ultimately be the means of resuscitating it and the whole neighbourhood. The once flourishing and important town of Barnet, the outlet to the north, Is now neglected, and well nigh ruined by that powerful agent, steam ; the prospect of many an honest man blighted, the tradesman and innkeeper, who once was in a prosperous state is brought low and his profits decreased; in fact, Barnet presents to me the ideal of that beautiful picture so ably described by Gold smith as " The Deserted Village." All that celebrity, for which it was famed, is stow no more, and why, gentlemen is this ? It possesses within its neighbourhood in regard to scenery, what few spots can beast of,—then If y ou have a railway, the good pea ple of London can enjoy tho se beauties, and at the same time be the means of increasing y our trade. You will find that in a short period pauperism will decrease, and the poor man will again hold up his head. and become prosperous and happy. I have been in the habit of travelling by this read fre quently—this, the first stage on the great northern road out of London—where, I may say, hundreds of coaches formerly passed daily, there is now scarcely one, owing to what, gentlemen? Why, I need not tell you that it is owing to the march of that great power steam, which has made such rapid strides within the last few years. This has caused many a broken fortune and aching heart. No doubt, unpopular as it may be to some, for the good people of Barnet to oppose the power of steam, is useless. good p then, has been the ruin of Barnet, by steam it must be revived. Gen tlemen, look at the effect of steam conveyance on the town tlemen to Hounslow, once the outlet to the Great Western road, which may be called the sister town of Barnet. I allude, gen. but now almost deserted. The Great Western Railway, as you are aware, runs withiri two and a half miles of Hounslow, but notwithstanding that the people found the loss and Inconvenience so great that they determined thennelves to have a railway direct to Hounslow, and one is no w actually projecting, and doubtless will he carried out, this will prove to you, gentlemen, that very little. if a ny, advantage is to be gained from a main line running within a short distance of a town. Let us look to facts, gentlemen. Before the Great Western Railway had been in operation six weeks, more than 600 horses were dis. charged from Hounslow. The ruin that fell on the coach proprietors, to say nothing of the different tradesmen, and the sufferings of the pour was beyond credit. It is true the Great Western have a station within two miles and a half of Hounslow. Has that been an advantage to Hounslow ? Certainly not. The Great Western Railway Company were profuse in their promises as to what they would do for the towns in the neighbourhood of their line ; branches were to be constructed In connection with the main line, so as to afford benefit to the contiguous towns, but what did they do gentlemen ? Why, nothing at all : the moment they suceeded in quieting the people by promises• and procured their line of ••••••••‘.....ti; • 0 , • NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. THE EXPERIMENTAL FLEET AT DEVONPORT.—The expe rimental fleet is fast prcgressing in its refit in Plymouth South. Rear-Admiral Sir Samuel Pym, K.C.8., the newly aprointed Commander-in• Chief, has taken up his quarters on board his flag-ship, the St. Vincent, 120, Captain Rowley, but still continues his superintendentship of the dockyard, which duties he will not relinquish until the fleet sails. The Port -Admiral, Sir John West, K.C.8.. went off in his barge to pay a visit to Sir Samuel Pym, on Wednesday. The court-martial on Lieutenant Frederick Leigh, of the Stromboli steam-sloop, Commander Fisher, was commenced yesterday. Mr. Thorn, the experienced Paymaster and Purser of the Superb, SO, Captain Corry, will assist the pri soner in his defence. THE COMMAND IN CHIEF AT PORTSMOUTH.—AdmiraI Sir Charles Ogle, Bart., will hoist his flag as Commander-in- Chief at Portsmouth on the Ist of October. The Conway, 26, Captain Belly, arrived at the Mauritius, July 17, from Bourbon. Tlie Vulture, steam frigate, Captain Macdougal, arrived at Rio Janeiro, on the 23d of July, from Devonport. The Porcupine, steam surveying vessel. Captain -Bullock, left Boulogne on the 23d inst., to commence a survey of the French coast. The Comet steam-vessel, Lieut. Commander Prettyman, left Devonport, on Wednesday, for Portsmouth. The Bloodhound steam-vessel, Lieut. Commander Phillips, drew charts for the Mediterranean, at Devonport, on Wed nesday, was paid advance yesterday, and was then to have sailed. The Dee troop transport, Master Commander Driver,:with a portion of the 49th Regiment on board, started again from Devonport for Kingstown on Wednesday morning. The Daring, 12, Commander Matson, arrived at Ports mouth, from Plymouth, on Wednesday. When in the offing she saluted the flag of Rear-Admiral Hyde Parker. The Victory returned the salute, and telegraphed the Daring to keep under weigh (the order for her being docked at this port having been cancelled). After lying to at Spithead for a short time, she received orders to proceed back again to Plymouth, and made sail through the Needles for that place. Two French steamers, the Caiman, Captain Du Tonne, and the Pluton, Captain La Morche, arrived at Sheerness on Tuesday, from Treport. Having taken on board a sup ply of coals and water, the Caiman left on Wednesday to return to Treport. The Pluton was to have left yesterday. A sapient " Observer," of Sheerness, asks the editor of a morning contemporary the reason why no salute was re turned by the Britisn Admiral to that fired by the French steamers? One would suppose that, being on the spot, this close " observer" would have known that the flag-ship, the Trafalgar, 120, is with the experimental squadron ; that the ordinary guard-ship, the Ocean, 80, Captain Arthur, C. 8., is in dock, with her guns out ; the June, 26, in commission by Captain Blake, but fitting out, with no powder on board ; and the Snake, 16, Commander Devereux, with her powder and stores, returned to the dock yard. NAVAL CO URT-MARTIAL. (From the Devonport Independent.) A court-martial assembled on board her Majerty's ship Caledonia, 120, Captain Manly Hall Dixon, on Thursday, for the trial of Lieutenant F. G. Leigh, second of the Stromboli, steam-frigate, upon charges preferred by John Ryan, stoker of the Stromboli. It will be recollected this court-martial was ordered while the Experimental Squadron lay at Cork, but through the illness of Admiral Parker, it was postponed. The Admiralty instructions were now issued to Rear-Admiral Sir S. Pym, who has assumed command of the Squadron, and that Gallant Officer officiated as President of the Court. The Court sat at ten o'clock, at which hour a gun was fired, and the proceedings almost immediately commenced. The following officers composed the Court :—Rear-Admiral Sir Samuel Pym, K.C.B, President ; Captain C. Rowley, H.M.S. St. Vincent, 120 ; Captain Sir B. Walker, H.M.S. Queen, 110 ; Captain E. Collier, H.M.S. Rodney, 92 ; Cap. taro N. Lockyer, C.B. H.M.S. Albion, 90 ; Captain F. Moresby, C.B. H.M.S., Canopus, 84 ; G. Eastlake, Esq., Plymouth, Deputy Judge-Advocate. The prisoner was assisted in his defence by G. Thorn, Esq., Paymaster and Purser, of her Majesty's ship Superb, and J Elworthy, Esq., solicitor, Plymouth. The charge, setting forth that John Ryan, a stoker of the Stromboli, complained that on the 3d of September, Lieut. Leigh applied to him a variety of opprobrious epithets, and struck him two severe blows ; that he further ordered. him to go fourteen times over the mast-head, and to be placed on the black list for fourteen days, having been read, the evi dence was proceeded with. John Ryan sworn—l am a stoker on board her Majesty's steamer Stromboli. On Wednesday morning , the 3d inst., while washing the deck of the Stromboli, at Tarbert, I was ordered by the prisoner to move a tub, and at the same time he called me ab— son of a b—h. I said to him, I am not a son of a b—h ; he then told me to hold my tongue snd go and stand in the gangway; I did so, and while there he struck me under the ear, from the effect of which I stag gered. He then ordered William_ Hooper to throw a bucket of water over me ; the water was thrown, but I escaped it. Mr. Leigh then called the master-at-arms and ordered him to cane me ; he did so, and I then said I would acquaint the Captain with it. He said, " I'll Captain you." I was then ordered to go over the mast-head fourteen times, the prisoner saying at the same time " D—n your eyes, I'll work the engine oil off your b—y liver." I went over the mast-head seven times, but was unable to go more from illness. He then ordered the master-at-arms to put me in the engine-room hatch, and, put me 14 days on the black list, and in the Ist watch. By the Coirrr—lt was to keep the Ist watch that I was ordered. The letter which I forwarded to Com mander Fisher, was written by one of my watch-mates ; the letter was written between eight and nine in the morning of the day on which the prisoner struck me ; the letter now pro duced is a correct copy of that letter. I believe it was the custom to write letters to the captain, rather than to complain to him on deck. I can write myself but not well. Robert Penderblan wrote the letter, but he never wrote a letter for me before. I believe it was between six and seven bells in the morning that I was struck. I did not see the captain on deck between that time and the time of writing the letter. I have not known of any other letter respecting complaints having been written to the captain, but on other matters letters have been writen. I have no knowledge of Penderblan having written letters for others of the ships' company. William Brunsden, private of Royal Marines, sworn : On the 3d Sept. I was on the deck of the Stromboli, and I heard the prisoner order John Ryan to move the tub, which he did. He ordered him to move it a second time, which he did. He then called him a d—d son of a b—h ; Ryan said, no sir, I'm no son of a b—h. I then saw Mr. Leigh strike him with his fist in the neck twice, and then he ordered the boatswain's mate to heave a bucket of water over him. The boatswain's mate threw the water, but it did not go over the man. The remainder of this witness's evidence was in corroboration of the prosecutor's testimony. By the COURT— I cannot say whether, if provocation be given, it is right for men to reply to their officers when abused : I have always been accustomed to do what I've been told to do, but I cannot answer for other'people. Ryan had come out of the doctor's list a few days previously. I have stated all that I heard pass between Ryan and the prisoner. I saw no gesture or manner in Ryan which was calculated to provoke Mr. Leigh. I did'nt know of any letter having been written to Captain Fisher, until I was called on deck in the evening by Captain Fisher. By the prisoner —There has not been a complaint against me for violence to Lieut. Leigh. William Hooper, boatswain's mate, sworn. He corrobo rated the testimony of the previous witnesses. He was the man who was ordered to throw the water over Ryan, but did not do it. By the Court-31y reason for disobeying the order given me was, because I did not like to heave it over the man. All I heard Ryan say was that he would report Mr. Leigh to the captain. Ido not think Ryan moved as quick as he ought to have done, but I did not see anything further than this which was an aggravation on the part of Ryan. To my knowledge no complaint was ever made by a matt against an officer on the quarter-deck. William Taylor, master-at-arms, sworn. This witness cor roborated the testimony of the preceding witnesses, and, in answer to a question from the Court, he said he had never before been ordered by the prisoner to cane a man. Saw nothing contemptuous in Ryan's conduct towards Mr. Leigh. William Thompson, able seaman, also gave evidence in corroboration. By the prisoner—l never said to a man named Thomas, servant of the prisoner, that he, the prisoner, was a severe officer, and a bad fellow, and that I and others would do all we could to get him not only out of the Stromboli, but out of the service. This was the case for the prosecution, and the prisoner having solicited time to prepare hi s defence, an hour was granted, and the Court ordered to be cleared. DEFENCE. Upon the Court re-assembling, a short defence was read by Mr. Thorn, in which, after an expression of regret that the Court should have been called upon to inquire into the charge then under investigation, an appeal was made to the mercy as well as to the justice of the Court if after hearing the whole of the evidence which would be laid before them, they should be of opinion that the errors of which he had been guilty (if he had erred at all) were errors of judgment rather than otherwise—errors occasioned by the contemptuous and insolent manner of the witness Ryan, whose previous bad conduct had no less than seven times subjected him to punish ment, his offences being respectively fighting, the use of bad language, neglect of duty, quarrelling, fighting, and upon two occasions, insolence to superior officers. The ciren7 4 .. stance which gave rise to the charge, which was the subject of the present investigation, was, as had been already proved in evidence, the removal of a tub, by Ryan, in obedience to his (prisoner's) order; but this was dime so slowly that he was obliged to repeat the order before it was complied with. Attention was also directed to one or two trifling discrepan cies in the testimony of the several 'witnesses, and it was denied that he had ever acted tyeannically, or even severely, towards those placed under his command. He also stated, that when he ordered Ryan to, be caned, he was not aware that he was a stoker, but judging by his youthful appearance, believed him to he a boy; and no sooner was he made ac quainted with the fact that Ryan had been recently suffering from ill health than he remitted the punishment which he had imposed, and which would, he believed, have been more severe had he made a report of Ryan's conduct to his superior officer. Allusion was also made to the unusual course adopted by Ryan, Af writing to the commanding officer instead y making 4 verbal complaint, and In reference to, the alleged breach of the Admiralty peintedlestructions, a hope was expressed that if it should appear to the Court that he had not attended to tions, they would diserirnitinte betweA^ • _....matruc ... wilful disobedience, and that, which as in his case, was simply an imPelf eet 11 • terpretation. The defence concluded with a remark upon then navoidable absence of an important witness upon his behalf, the con: long arrest to which he had been already subjected, an d his ds 0 viction that his case would meet full justice at the han' the honourable gentlemen who constituted the Court- . The prisoner then proceeded to call Thomas Maccongh, seamen, who stated that he was on the deck of the Strombo on the morning of the 3d Sept. He heard the prison 6r charge John Ryan with negligence, and with not scrubbilg the deck to hiss atisfaction. Ryan said something in rel m i which witness did not hear, but which provoked the prisooert who thereupon gave him a shove. R y an's manner Was on' temptuous. By the Couav—Heard the prisoner ca ll Ryan a son o f s e b— or something to that effect. He heard nothing Illor though he was standing close by. Had any unusual or Otr_ 11 :, ordinary epithet been applied to Ryan , witness must have e her ., it. He considered Ryan's manner contemptuous, becaus looked haughtily at the prisoner, and appeared to be 01 tering something. Commander e and Lieut. Hnsleigh, the first e nd second second officers on Fisher bo and the Stromboli were ca ll e d as evid en n to character. The former said that d urin g the three roeStel'o he had been in command of the S tromboli, he bad bacl.‘.o complaint against the prisoner until the present charge preferred. Lieut. Hensleigh observ ed that he had k", e d the prisoner between six and seven months, and had reingaru ut that he was always anxious zealously to assist the ship el, The Count' was then again cleared, for the space of the half an hour, when the prisoner being brought in anc i witnesses being in attendance, the particulars of the regr; were read over, and declared to have been proved upon the p . risoner was adjudged to be severely repritOn l ot to be dismissed the Stromboli, and to be put at the there the Lieutenants in her Majesty's navy, and to remain t u for the space of two years.
