Blackburn, the chairman of that company, had ended in nothing but buying paace at any price, and he had no doubt that a similar result would take place in any negotiations with the Nithsdale Company, and that the chairman of this company would find tile chairman of that company more than a match for him in negotiations.—(Hear, hear.)

RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, WORCESTER, AND WOLVEREIAMPTON RAILWAY. The completion of the branch line of this railway, bringing the city of Worcester into immediate com munication with the Midland (Bristol and Birming ham) Railway, has since the last half-yearly meeting of the company been so rapidly forwarded as to be ready for the inspection of the Government surveyor, and accordingly yesterday the inhabitants of Wor cester were astonished by the appearance within the suburbs of that city of a locomotive engine and ten der, the first that has ever been seen in the locality. The Government inspector was Captain Galton. At tended by officers of the Midland Railway Company, this gentleman started from the Spetchley station of the Bristol and Birmingham line, for the purpose of inspecting the branch line of the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, from Abbott's-wood (about two miles and a half from Spetchley station) to Worcester. The junction at Abbott's-wood had been completed some days previously, and one set of rails had also been laid down throughout the line from Abbott's-wood to Worcester, the other line being nearly complete. The distance is four miles, and the first part of the line runs through an easy country. As it approaches Worcester, however, there are two or three heavy cuttings and embankments, and "Wor cester lying in a hollow on the banks of the Severn, surrounded on all sides by rising ground, the line does not run into the city, but passes through the suburbs along a rising ground on the east, a short tunnel having to be passed through north of the Wor cester station. The branch up to the station, however, is at present only to be opened, so that the tunnel (which has been completed for two years at least) will not be required for present use. The opening of the whole of the loop line from Abbott's-wood through Worcester to Stoke would have greatly enhanced the importance of the intended opening, but as this would have rendered the company liable to a certain guaran tee given to the Severn Impro%ement Commission, that intention has been abandoned until a larger portion of the north end of the line can be opened, so as to bring a remunerative traffic upon the line. The pre sent branch is leased to the Midland Company at a certain fixed rent with surplus profits. The line at present is constructed on the narrow gauge, but when the main line is opened broad gauge rails will be added. Horizontal sleepers are used as upon the Great Western Railway. The station at "Worcester is nearly completed, and the branch here will now in a very short time he opened for public traffic. The inspector made a careful survey of the line, and gave a favourable opinion of its construction. There can be no doubt about the stability of the works, which have already stood the test of time. This opening will confer a great boon on the trade of Worcester by abo lishing the long-abused nuisance of a four-mile om nibus drive from Worcester to Spetchley. At least half-an-hour will be saved in the journey to and from Worcester. The journey to Cheltenham at present occupies an hour and three-quarters; hereafter it will be accomplished in the hour. GREAT WESTERN.—The directors have issued or ders that henceforth all sidings on their line shall have fixed " scotches" placed upon them, to prevent car riages or trucks drifting by any possibility on to the main line, and Mr. Tyrrell, the general manager, is now seeing that the arrangement is carried out. These scotches are to be locked on to the line, so as to obviate either wilful or accidental displacement. LIVERPOOL, CROSBY, AND SOUTHPORT.—Captain Laffan, the Government inspector, has just been over this line, now completed to the watering place of Southport, 18 miles from Liverpool, and it will be opened immediately. ACCIDENT AT BIRKENHEAD. — Yesterday after noon a serious accident occurred at the . new dock w or k s, b y which six men were more or less injured It appears that the men were employed in hoisting large blocks of stone by means of a moveable crane or jenny, the stones being placed on trucks for removal to a distant part of the works. Whilst so engaged, one of the stones, a block abour six tons weight, proving too heavy, the crane gave way with a tremendous crash, falling upon the unfor tunate men. One of them had both thighs broken, a second received a fracture of the skull, and a third had his legs very much injured. These were conveyed to the hospital, where they lie in a very dangerous state. The remaining three were cut and bruised about the bead and other parts of the body, but their wounds are not considered of a dangerous character. It is said that the accide n t arose f rom an imper fection in the crane, which had been out of use for a long time. - Liverpool Mercury. THE BISHOP OF EXETER.—We have received a letter this morning (Wednesday, Sept. 25) from a correspon dent in Devonshire, dated yesterday, stating that the Bishop of Exeter has refused to accept testimonials signed by the Archbishop of Canterbury. Guardian. PoLICE INTELLIGENCE. GUILDHALL. Jane I'russan was again brought up, and placed at the b,r before Alderman Chadi,, chlirged with steal ing tw , ) 1001 B.:nk of England notes, one 20/. ditto, on,, 101. ditto, one 51. ditto, a cheque for 371., and 71. 10s. in gold, from the person of Mr. John %%Inanity, wooll,n manufacturer, lAtely residing at the Castle and Falcon, Aldersgate-street. Alderman CHALLIS said, as none of the stolen pro perty had been found, and the prosecutor was not present to identify her more fully than he had done on the previous examinations, he should feel it his duty to discharge the prisoner, as there was no case made out against her. Edward Matthew Macklin was brought up on re mand tor further examination, charged with fraudu lently obtaining silk goods to the value of about 6001. of Mr. Edward 11 Davies, of 5, Goldsmith-street, City, agent for Al. Faessler Petzi, silk-manufacturer of Paris and Lyons. The case was remanded from the last examination merely for the production of the goods by the various pawnbrokers, who hold them in trust till such time as they shall be ordered to give them up. A great quantity of goods, consisting of silks, satins, plushes, umbrellas, &c., were produced by Mr. Sowerby and other pawnbrokers, amounting in all to the value of about 4001. or 500/., but they were pledged for not more than about 2701. Alderman Chamas could not help remarking upon the facility afforded by pawnbrokers in general to servants to dispose of goods of which they had robbed their employers. He thought that when such valu able goods as those produced were presented for pledging, that the pawnbroker, for his own safety, should make some inquiry as to how the party pledg ing became possessed of them. With regard to the present case, he should remand it till Monday next, with the understanding that the prisoner would then be finally committed, and the depositions in the mean time would be prepared accordingly. Joseph Ruddick was charged with stealing a quan tity of valuable books, the property of his employers, Messrs. Simpkin, Marshall, and Co., of Stationers'. hall-court. Alderman CHALLIS said—From the manner, pri soner, that you appear to treat this charge, I believe that you are not aware of the serious position you have placed yourself in. You are liable, according to the Act under which your employers have prosecuted you, to be compelled to pay double the amount of the value of the property, to be fined 51., and to be impri.. soned for three months for each offence proved against you; and in default of payment within three days of the time of committal cf the forfeiture and fine, to be publicly whipped in the House of Correction or any other public place that the magistrate may think fit to appoint. The cases are all very clear, though I can only convict upon two, for which I shall impose a fine of 51. and three months' imprison ment for each offence—the second three months to commence at the expiration of the other. The books are to be given up to the prosecutor without any re muneration. lam sorry to have to remark once more upon the conduct of the pawnbrokers. In the cases just disposed of it has been shown that 3s. has been lent upon property worth 255., and upon the pawn broker's own acknowledgment they could get for the same, even if they sold them to the greatest dis advantage. I consider that if pawnbrokers are de termined to carry on a wholesale system of receiving stolen goods, the only way to make them more care ful is to make them the sufferers on conviction It is only by repeated losses that they will be brought to a proper sense of their duty. If a poor man were to act in a similar way to only one-fourth the extent he would most probably be transported for it ; and lam therefore determined to use every means in my power to suppress such an iniquitous system. The books wire then given up, and Mr. Longman, the publisher, and Mr. Miles, on the part of Messrs. Simpkin and Marshall, thanked the Alderman for the kindness he had shown in his attendance to the case, and retired. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A bootmaker, who gave the name of John Cham pion, but whose real name is Desmond, was brought before Mr. Hardwick charged with having committed a gross outrage on a young woman named Rose Chamberlain. Mrs. Champion, a respectable-looking married woman, said she was walking through Percy-street yesterday evening with her niece, Rose Chamberlain, and a female friend, when the defendant, who was a perfect stranger, suddenly laid hold of her niece in a way unfit to be described. She pushed the defend ant away, upon which he applied an infamous name to her, and made use of language, both to herself and her niece, of the most disgusting character. She called for the assistance of the police, and sent her niece to fetch her husband. The defendant then charged her with stealing his pocket-handkerchief, and insisted on the constable taking her into custedy. The police-constable said the defendant appeared as if he had been drinking. The defendant was fined 5L each for assaults on aunt and niece, making 101. together, or four months' imprisonment. MARYLEBONE. Mr. James Worthington Lavasey, residing i❑ Union-place, New-road, was brought before the sitting magistrate, Mr. Long, charged with the following shameful assault upon Catherine Hollis, a married woman, and who lives in David-street, York-place, Portman-square. Mr. Davies, solicitor, of Dorset-street, attended for the defendant, who was described as a law-student of the Inner Temple. Complainant, whose upper lip was swollen, gave evidence to the effect that on the previous night, about ten o'clock, as she was proceeding along East-street, Manchester-square, she was followed by defendant, who at length accosted her, and asked her whither she was going; to which she replied that she was going home. He requested to be permitted to ac company her, and on her telling him that she could not permit anything of the sort, he exclaimed, " Then take that," at the same time giving her a blow on the mouth. He then ran away, and on her crying out, " Stop him I" he was taken into custody. It further appeared, that when captured by Church, 129 D, be had fled for refuge into a cook's shop in Paddington street. On the way to the station, and also when first laid hold of by the officer, he denied having struck the ccmplainant. Mr. Davies said that after all that had been stated he would not attempt tor a moment to show that the charge was an unfounded one, and he thought under all the circumstances that the best course for him to take was that of an expression of regret on the part of the defendant for his conduct; the defendant was truly sorry for what had occurred, and he hoped that the magistrate would deal with the case as leniently as possible. Mr. LONG inflicted a penalty of 50s. for the assault, which he looked upon as being one of a serious and unprovoked nature. Mr. Davies requested that defendant, ins'ead of being compelled to pay the sum alluded to, might be permitted to arrange with the complainant; but the magistrate would not comply with the wish. Two youths, named Walter Blake and Jeremiah Stansham, were placed at the bar for re-examination on the charge of having stolen a quantity of silver plate to a considerable extent, the property of Mr. Edward Broughton, of St. James's-terrace, St. Jilin's wood. The prisoners were fully committed for trial. CLERKENWELL. Thomas Thomond, a sullen-looking fellow, 20 years of age, was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyr whitt, charged by Mr. Joseph Toomond, his oAn father, a master baker residing in William-street, Caledonian-road, Islington, with having stolen two silver table-spoons and other articles of plate, and also with having threatened his life, by which he went in bodily fear. The father, who was evidently much affected, said that the prisoner was a drunken, profligate fel low, who might do well were it not fur his depraved inclinations. He had endeavoured in his youth to instil moral principles in his mind, but to no pur pose. On the whole of Wed nes d a y l as t h e was drunk, and continued annoying witness by driving backwards and forwards before his door in a cabriolet. He received information that the prisoner had boasted to a neighbour that he had taken two silver spoons, &c. Subsequently he called on witness and asked him for money, which he declined giving him, on which he threatened to have his life, and, taking several half-crowns from his pocket, exhibited them, and said he did not want money, and he threw a pawnbroker's duplicate on the counter for the pro perty, which had been pledged at Mr. Neade's, in Penton-street, Pentonville. He consulted with a policeman, and gave the prisoner into custody. Wit ness added, with a flood of tears, that the prisoner had frequently alarmed them out of their sleep in the dead of the night to demand money ; his mother sometimes got out of bed and remonstrated with him, when he threatened, with dreadful language, that he would never be satisfied until he could put a bullet through her heart. He had used a similar threat to wards witness. Mr. TYRWHITT inquired what course he wished to be adopted towards the prisoner ? Mr. Thomond— I wish to be protected. My property and life are not safe. Something must be done. Mr. TYRWHITT said there was abundance of evi dence as to the unlawfully pawning the property. Prisoner (sullenly)—Can't I have a solicitor ? The evidence of the pawnbroker was taken down as to the pledging the articles Er 11. 2s. The prisoner in his di-fence said he had been drink ing for two or three days, and the only excuse he could make for himself w as that he was un d er t h e in fluence of liquor at the t i me. Mr. TYRWHITT, addrkssing the pri soner , sa id hi s conduct was most disgraceful. There ought to be some limit placed on the cond uc t o f b a d an d v i o l ent sons towards their parents, and he could hardly con ceiv,t it to be possible for a son, drunk or sober, to be ciipable of lnAing, such horrible threats towards his c.-so nvicted the prisoner, and ordered' him to pay 40'. v: rJ•lty, and the amount of the value c.f the prop , 2ry, ur iu dzfault of payment one montlato imprisonini,nt. Prisoner could not pay, and was conveyed to prison. SOVTH IV ARK. In the course of the morning an application was made for the Magistrate's advice relative to a quantity of woman's wearing apparel, principally consisting of theatrical dresses, alleged to have been surreptitiously taken by Madame Ponisi, one of the Surrey Theatre company, from the abode of her husband. The applicant, a young man who described himself as the husband of Madame Ponisi, addressing the ma gistrate (Mr. Beadon), said th a t on F r id ay l as t his wife, Vi ithout giving him any intimation of what ehe was about to do, left home, taking with her property in dress to the amount of nearly 1001. He had since discovered that she was accompanied in her flight by member of the same establishment, and he had strong grounds for suspecting that she was now re siding in a house at that side of the water. The ap plicant had obtained the address of her presumed abode, and the object of his application was to be in formed whether he would be justified in taking for cible possession of the property, and whether the ms" gistrate could render him any assistance. Mr. BEADON told the applicant if he could prove that his wife had been assisted in the removal of the property by the man with whom she had been alleged to elope he could aid him. If, however, the lady had voluntarily removed the cloth es , w hi c h we re their joint property, she was not amenable for any offence which would subject her to proceedings in that court, and he (the magistrate) had no control over the matter. The applicant said that he had no evidence to prove that his wife had been assisted in the removal of the property in question, and having thanked the inagie° trate for his advice, he then withdrew.
