RAILWAY COMMITTEES. (YESTERDAY.) HOUSE OF LORDS. TELE CORNWALL IFLAMWAY. Their Lordships met at eleven o'clock in the Lord Chancellor's Court. When their Lordships took their seats none of the opposing counsel were present, whereupon The Earl of ELLENBOROUCH (the. Chairman), whose pdnctuality 'is remarkable, observed that the counsel ought to beat their places at eleven o'clock. The Committee ought not to be dilated ; they were punctdal, and so ought the lawyers to be. The cross-examination of Captain Moorsom was resumed. The land on the line would cost 58,1601. ; the fencing about 26.0001. ; the earthwork 158,6081. - ; 'masonry, 157,0661.; tunnelling, 29,000/. ; permanent way, 254,118/. ; stations, about 51,0001. The expense of the branch to Bodmin was—land, 3,5501.; fencing, 1;473/.; earthwork, 8,3331.; masonry, 6,0251.; permanent way, 15,1211. The line would be a doublelecomotive line. The cross-examination of Captain. Moorsom was continued during almost the remainder of the day, hat nothing was elicited but dry engineering local details, which have been already before the public. A question arose respecting the assent of the Admiralty to one of the bridges on the projected line, which creases a creek. It was in. sinuated by Mr Rowe that that assent had not been obtained, whilst Mr. M-rrivale objected to the disclosure of any arrangements which had taken place between the officers of the Admiralty and the promoters of the present Bill. Mr. Rows contended that the knowledge of the assent or dissent of the Admiralty to any part of the line which interfered with navigation was absolutely indispensable to the Committee, for otherwise the Committee might be uselessly consuming their time in examining into the merits of a line which, after all, the Govern ment might throw out. There was a long argument on this head, and a great deal of legal ingenuity expended. Tne Committee decided that questions on this head might be put generally. Mr. Mows then resumed the cross examination of Captain Moor. som on this head, but nothing of interest or importance transpired. Mr. Bastrick, engineer of the London and Brighton Line—Exa mined the projected line. The ruling gradient in one part of the line was one in sixty, and another one in forty. There would be no more difficulty or danger in working a light train on such gra dients than a heavy train on better ones. Tne curves had nothing to do with the gradients. The worst curve was one of fifteen chains radius. The remainder of tele day was occupied in the cross-examination of this witnets, and the Committee aijourntd at four o'clock. SC 0 1"I' IVIIDI.III. D RAILWAY. The Coinmittee re-assembled this morning, and soon after pro- ceeded with the further cOns.deration of the Bill before them. The evidence of the traffic was gone into, and Mr. Byers, who had superintended the making up of the traffic tables, was exa mined at considerable length. He went minutely into the details of the manner in which he had instructed the persons employed how to take the traffic, and explained the mode by which the tolls on various tumpike-roads might be evaded by passengers travelling along the by roads. At this stage of the proceedings, Mr. ANDREWS objected to the evidence being proceeded with, on account of the absence of some of the books from which the traffic tables had bean compiled. After some discussion, the objection was overruled, and the exa. mination was allowed to go on. The examination of the witness was resumed. It appeared that the annual income expected to be derived from the passenger traffic amounted in the whole to 9,9091, 125., which, being doubled rding to Parliamentary usage on railway matters, w o uld give a twat result of 19,8191. 45.. annually. The income from goods, including cotton, cloth, flax, wool, stone, elate, wood, potatoes, and geueral merchandise, amounted to 4,1521. 16s. lAd. 'From c .als and lime a return of 4,553/. per annum would be realised. Far and lean cattle and sheep, exclusive of lambs, would y;c , rl a•• income of 3 7111 10s. 7d. The gross total revenue de.. "r We , rr , rn tt,esc d•f?_•rent sources, including the revenues of the two sma' railways which the Company intended to purchase, and parcds and m tits, would amount to 36,8581. 12s. 3d. The examination and re-examination of this witness occupied their Lordships nearly the entire day. All the facts which he stated have aiready appeared in the report of his evidence before the Com mittee of the House of Commons. Mr.. Pare was examined, and corroborated the evidence of the previous witness in every particular. At the ca.ise of the evidence their Lordships adjourned. o;.:rarrD, WOR.ZIZ3I I .E2, AND WOLVERr Et ArtICPTOIIT. The Committee met to.day at the usual hour, Lord Radnor in the cnair, when the examination of witnesses was proeeeded with. [We have to correct a misprint in our report of yesterday, in which Mr. Bond, of Kin-winford, in speaking of the carriage of coal from that place to the south, is represented to have said that the carriage to London was Is. 7d.—it should have been 171.] Mr. Harrington, of Oxford, was the first witness called this morning, z.nd examined by Mr. TALBOT—He represented the feel ing of Oxford tc be generally in favour of the present line of rail way. They considered it was the one best calculated for the wants of the district. By the Tying line the traffic from Worcester to London did not touch at Oxford, whereas the Great Western line did. He considered it would confer great benefit on the town and neighbourhood. There was a great demand for coals in Oxford shire, while agricultural produce was sent in large quantities to the north. The cross-examination of the witness did not elicit any point of material importance. Mr. Hannon and Mr. Steel deposed as to the local traffic, which they descrin.-.1 would be much better accommodated by the Great Western Company than by the London and Birmingham. Mr. James Lemon, of Chipping Norton, gave evidence as to the traffic of that place. The sale of barley annually in the Chipping Norton m irkei was 15,000 quarters. The district was an im portant agricultural one, and for its produce there was at present -no cheap or easy mode of searching the mineral and manufacturing districts. In the ev nt of a railway being formed, the agricultural pio.lut;e of the south would find its way at a cheap rate into the po,atious distriots of the north. By this means both north and south would be benefited. He considered the line promoted by the Urea, W, stern scheme much the best of the taro. Mr. S,ssions, brewer of Charle.ley, near Oxford, was examined respecting the trade and traffic of that town. The population of . the town and neighbourhood was 7,700 The consumption of coal was at present about 6,000 tons yearly. This cost very high prices at present. it was his conviction that it the present line were formed, it wou'd create a reduction in the price of coal equal to all the poor-rates of the district. There was a large manufac tory of gloves in the town employing about 600 persons. These : goods cost in carriage from 2001. to 3001. yearly. The annual *mount of groceries, received principally from London, was in weight 130 ions. There was a considerable amount of glass used lathe town and neighbourhood, which at present was charged at a •ery high rate of carriage. Cross-examiked by Mr. Hom—His estimate of the reduction in the price of coal that might be expected by the construction of the line was founded on the supposition that coals would be charged Id. per ton per mile. Mr. Lancaster, ironmonger of Lancaster, deposed to the advan. tage which the proposed line would confer on the trade in which he was engaged. He did a large business with Wolverhampton in ironmongery goods. He considered that a saving would be effected of 21. 3s. per ton. He estimated that they would be bought by the present line at the rate of 1/. 10s. per ton. He paid at pre sent fora ton of goods from Wolverhampton 31. 133. 3d., 21. 1 ls. to London, and 11. 2s. 3d. from thence to Southampton. He paid alone for carriage to the South. Western Company the sum of 3501. annually. Cross- examined by Mr. HOPE—The South-Western Company took off a considerable discount for large quantities of goods, from 30 to 40 per cent. on quantities above five tons. The charge without the discount was about 3d. per ton per mile. That was their maxi:num. Ha was not aware that the Great Western line gave any discount. "They charged, he believed, 3d. per ton per mile. He once had great Objection io the breaks on the lines, on account of the transhipments of go.pds. He give evidence to that effect last year, but having .chine for fatilitating the change of goods, his opiu.t,n of tile difficulty iiad much altered. Mr. Tnuluas,Cougreve, near Rugby, was next examined. He fattened beast for the London market, but could not send them there ',by railway, on account of the high charges. He travelled them 'Al l a to London at present. His neighbours did the same. • captain Finish, secretary of the Grand Junction Railway Company, was ezamined at some len.; th respecting the differences which existed between the Loin in an Birmilfriam and Grand Junction Corn. panics. He stated that, in self.defence, the Grand Junction was under the necessity of taking steps to effect an in dependent communication to London, because the Lon don and Birmingh,im, through the Churnet Valley, and other schemes, were seeking to reach Liverpool without corning on the Grand Junction line. He likewise bore evidence as to the ease with which transhipment could take place from the broad to the narrow gauge. • Mr. Brunel, civil engineer, was neat called—The evidence, which was not closed at the rising of the Committee, was ?generally the same as that given before the Commons' Committee. He started, on the map, with the line beginning .at 'Oxford, and tracing it through its route, past Moreton-in-the- Marshes, Evesham, Worcester, Droitwich, Kidderminster, Stour. bridg., Brierley Hill, Dudley, to its final termination in the Grand ...TUnctio, lin, at Wolverhampton. The engineering peculiarities ate tie.scriord to be very favourable. There were only two tun nels, one 860 yards, near to Moreton, and another at Dudley, 946 Bards. After explaining the mode in which the line connected itself with the various towns, and the sites and peculiarities of the vari alus station 4, the Committee adjourned till Monday at II o'clock. • - 6LVIDZISZAZE JUZJCZION RAZIAITAY.

CRAMS. • The arguments in this appeal occupied their• Lordships the re mainder of the day. heave to. I went close to her in the jolly.boat ; some person from the brigantine hailed us in the Portuguese language, asking who we were. I told them we were English, whereon they made sail, and I could not catch them. By the time I got bask to the schooner the brigantine was out of sight. The next morning I saw the same vessel lying oboist five miles to the leeward of us. We gave chase, 411 d came up with her about eight . o'clock the.sagoe.evenicg., passed close to her, and. told them to basil their sails dowsi, which tliey did. I sent Mr. Thomas Palmer. and eight men on board the brigantine. When he got on board he hailed me, and made a communication. I kept her in sight all night, and on that night, or the following morning, eight of the prisoners now present, and some others, came from the Echo, the brigantine, on board the Felicidade, excepting one prisoner, the Spaniard. About nine o'clock on the 2d of March I called Mr. Palmer on board the Fell. cidade, and I went on board the Echo. I found her full of slaves, there being about 434 in number. There were about 200 on deck. I went below for about an hour to attend to the slaves, who had been confined for about 48 hours. When I left the Felicidade there were sixteen prisoners, fourteen belonging to the Echo, and two belonging to the Felicidade, and eight of our men, and Mr. Palmer, James Mullins, Edward Marshall, James Mitchell, James Bayuom, Thomas Barfoot, Thomas Gold, Jack Andrews, and Joe Wilson, the two latter were Kroomen, and Thomas Gold, a marine, all belonging to the Wasp. I know prisoner Francesco Servla, and the prisoner Jonas Majoural. The Spaniard, left on board the Felicidade, did not afterwards return to the Echo. When I had been about an hour on board the Echo I got on the deck. I saw the Felicidade, with the Brazilian colours flying, coining up on our weather quarter. Some one on board hailed us to heave to. I saw the person calling himself J. A. Cequario on board the Felicidade. We did not heave to. She passed close alongside our weather beam, and fired round and grape. She passed on, and again fired, and then escaped. I followed her until dark, and then lost sight of her, and never saw her again. On the fol lowing afternoon I fell in with the Wasp, and communicated with the Commander, and in about five or six days took charge of the Echo, and went in her to Sierra Leone, and gave her in charge to the Mixed Commission Court, where she was condemned as law ful capture. The evidence was interpreted to the prisoners, and to its general purport they gave their assent Thomas Lethbridge deposed that he was a corporal in the Wool. wich division of the Royal Marines, and that he was serving on board her Majesty's sloop Star. Early on the morning of the 6th of March, witness deposed, I saw a strange sail, which, after a chase, the Star came up with, at about three or four o'clock. One of the Star's boats was ordered out, under the command of Lieu tenant Etheridge, to the strange vessel. I went in this boat, and, boarding the vessel, that subsequently turned out to be the Felici. dade, her crew was found below. At the command of the officer I went below to search them out, and in the after cabin and other parts of the vessel, hidden away, twenty-one persons were found and brought upon deck. The ten prisoners present were among that number, and so also were the other three persons calling'them selves A. Saquirerro, E. F Rovegres, and Saberino de Costa. I was on board the vessel about six hours, and have no doubt as to the prisoners and the other three men being thirteen of the persons found on board. I went to the after cabin in search of papers, and there found a volume of the " Cabinet Cyclops: lia" with the name of "R. D. Stupart" on the flyleaf. I also found some duck bags, such as is used by seamen in the Royal Navy. The bags contained flannel and serge, such as is used in her Majesty's service. I also found a pair of clues used in sling ing hammocks, partly made, and a fishing line with the Govern. ment mark. In going down the main hatchway I observed several stains of blood upon the slave deck ; I also found a boat's anchor and an awning stanchion, just such as might have belonged to a jolly-boat. I also found a lead and line. All the things found were conveyed on board the Star about six hours after boarding, it being then about eleven o'clock in the forenoon. The prisoners were also removed to the Star, and from that day until the 22d of March I had constant opportunities of seeing the prisoners, and have no doubt they are the men that were taken from the Felici dade. On the second day after they were taken on board the sentinel on duty called my attention to the heads of four of the prisoners. I looked to them, and found that each of the four had the seventh sword wound on the head. The wounds were fresh, add were attended to by Mr. King, the surgeon. When the pri soners were first brought on board I did not see the wounds, as they wore handkerchiefs tied round their heads under their hats or caps. In consequence of these wounds the four men—viz., Joze Maria Martins, Juan Francisco, Manuel Jose Alves, and Florenzo Riberrero, were placed in irons. When the wounds were discovered, the prisoners accounted for them by signs and in broken English by the falling of some portion of the mast of their vessel across their heads. The prisoners were taken from the Star to the Penelope, and sent home in the Rapid, in which vessel they arrived in Plymouth Sound on Thursday evening. The prisoners, at this stage of the proceedings, wished to know when they would be permitted to state their own case? They were told there were four other witnesses to examine, after whose examination they would be able to make whatever statement they thought proper. It being now five o'clock, the Court adjourned until tomorrow (Wednesday), at eleven o'clock. The prisoners were removed to the borough prison, and the ap provers on board the San Josef. The prisoners are all rather under-sized men. Francisco Ferira de Santo Servia, who is said to have been the captain of the Echo, is rather a fine-looking man. He wore a figured shirt, the ground of which was yellow, open at the neck, and a cloak loosely slung over his shoulders. WEDNESDAI.—The first witness examined this morning was Lieut. Wilson, late of the Star, but his evidence was not important. The captain of the Felicidade, named Cuquirebio, was next sworn and examined through the interpreter, having first been cautioned by the magistrate that he was not obliged to say anything that would criminate himself. He said—l was captain of the Felicidade, a schooner, belonging to Bahia, in the Brazils, and she was e:nployed in the slave trade. I left Bahia on the 6th of January, and had a crew of 33 men. I recognise among the pri soners Janus Majoural as being the only person who was of my crew, and he was the cook. The vessel was consigned to the house of Sala and Co., at Ouin, a place otherwise known by the name of Lagos, I arrived at Lagos on the 6th of February, and sent my papers ashore, which were delivered to my correspondents. Six of my crew went in the boat, two of whom remained on shore, and the others returned on board.o then discovered a brig, which I knew to be a ship of war, bearing down upon me; the brig was in chase of us three days, during which - time we lost sight o: her. On the third day, we returned to Lagos, and I sent four of my crew on shore with a letter, and in about half an hour we put to sea again. The same day I saw the brig's launch and two boats, but we were not within range. I then went to sea, and was away ten days, during which time we sprung our mainmast, which we afterwards fished. In fifteen days more Creturned to Lagos, and then I discovered to windward her Msjesty's brig Star, and to leeward her Majesty's brig Wasp. I then tacked and got out of their way again. In two days I returned to Lagos, and was told that my slaves had been waiting for me on the beach, but that they had been sent back again. In consequence of orders, 1 was preparing to go to sea, when I discoverers one of the brigs under sail. I swept along under the shore until I saw two boats and a launch coming towards us, when I loosed sail. The boats chased us all the day, and as they approached we fired at them with muskets anti! pistols ;, about 7 o'clock in the evening we were boarded ; my crew wanted to fire on the boats as they came alongside, but I ordered them not to do so, and, with the mate's assistance, I threw the powder and the muskets overboard. I was then trans ferred to the Wasp,and 25 of my crew accompanied me. The follow. ing morning the Felicidade, having on board the prisoner Majoural and myself, proceeded to sea under the command of Lieut. Stupart. On the second day after sailing we saw a brigantine and gave chase. The Felicidade having neared her, the lieutenant got into a boat anti went alongside, and the brigantine shot ahead and was soon out of sight. We continued to chise her, arid the next morning we saw her right ahead. Between eight and nine o'clock Y.M. the officer, Mr. Palmer, hoarded her. When the officer had been on board about an hour, he sent 10 or 12 men, amongst whom were the prisoners, excepting the Spaniard, Majoural, on board the Feli cidade. I had no conversation with these men until the following morning, when the prisoner Serve, the captain of the Echo, wished me good mowing, and asked for some coffee. Serva then told me he was not the captain, but that he was merely a passenger. The . - p r isoner Serra also said to me, " The Englishmen are not armed ; I here font men 1 can put confidence in ; we'll kill all the English men, and then we'll go and take the brigantime." I replied, " Don't you recollect there are the British cruisers around us ? The brigs and the steamer are outside, and if we do it we may be taken in the night, and then we shall be put to death." Serva told me 1 had no sense, and I replied, " I will go and tell the officer if you are that way inclined and are so vicious."- Serva's brother. in-law, who was present, then said to me, " Don't say anything to the officer, and I will say no more about it." Some exchanges took place. and ultimately Mr. Palmer and some English sailors were left on board the Felicidade. The officer having washed himself sat down on the quarter-deck, telking with the quarter master. I went to the head of the vessel and presently, on looking round, I saw Serva looking down the hatchway and calling to the prisoners to come up on deck. He, Serva, said " Now is our time to commit the murder, for the sentry is asleep; there are three asleep and two of them are drunk, and now is our time, for there are but two men awake aft." On hearing this Iran over to Serva and said " No." By this time the men were coming up the hatchway, and, finding Serva was determined I ran to the officer and the quarter- master, and told them by signs what was going on. The quarter master rose and ran towards the hatchway. He then took up a handspike and struck the men on the heads as they came up, with a view to prevent them reaching the deck. I then ran to the English sailor who was at the helm, and told him by signs what was _ . going on. He left the helm, and I took charge of it: This man went forward, and taking up a handspike, assisted the quarter- master. The prisoner Serva then came aft, and called to some men who were in a boat at the stern to come on board, but only one did so. Serva then remained aft, and leaned out to the prisoners, them f kill them L, heave them itito, the water" saw. ,English ; sailors receive cut from one of the kri-: soners; he fell and was thrown overbOard. He did. not fall into the water, but seized hold of the shrouds, and then the prisoner Joaquim cut him .over his ;head and arms and cut off his fingers, so that he was obliged to let go his hold and he fell into the sea. While he was being cut he cried out, " Oh, Portu. guese, don't kill me 1" While this was going on, all the prisoners now present were on deck, taking a part in killing the sailors. Serva continued aft, and called out, "Kill them, kill them!" The prisoners used knives eight or nine inches long, with sharp points and white handles ; and these were couccaled inside the waistbands of their trousers. I saw the prisoner Majoural run after the young officer (Mr. Palmer) and run his knife into his side; the officer fell against the bulwarks, and Majoural took him up by his feet and threw him overboard. All this time I had hold of the helm, but did not interfere for fear of what they might do to me. The quartermaster fought desperately; lie struck the prisoner Alves on the head, and then pitched him overboard, but he swain round to the boat and was picked up. The quarter master struggled forward with the other men, and knocked several of them down. I believe he would have overpowered them all, but some of them got behind him and stabbed him in the back and side. He then fell, and died on the deck, which was covered with his blood. All the prisoners present except Serva, were concerned in this. The English sailors, who were asleep, were stabbed and thrown overboard. The two Kroo- men belonging to the Wasp jumped overboard and swam away. When it was all over, Serva came up to me and said " Well, Cap tain, what do you think of it now P Don't you think we have done the thing that is just in killing these Englishmen Serve then lowered the peak of the mainsail, as a signal :o his brother. in-law, who was on board the brigantine. He said it was agreed between them that whoever did the deed first should lower the peak of the mainsail as a signal to the other. At this time the brigantine was within sight. The witness then proceeded to detail the manner of the schooner's passing the Echo, and at the conclu sion of his examination in chief he was subjected to a severe cross examination by Mr. Edwards. The examination of this witness occupied upwards of ten hours. The Court adjourned at half-past six, and resumed the examina tion at eight o'clock. DOCXS.

The Committee then adjourned at five o'clock. GROUP NN. EPPING RAILWAY. VIMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. Mr. Mkasu stated that the arrangements with respect to carrying the line no further than Old Ford had been completed, conse quently all opposition was withdrawn. _ Mr. Whiteman, superintendent of the Blackwall Railway, gave evidence as to the increase of traffic on the Blackwall line. They originally estimated the traffic of passengers at 2.500.000 a year, but last year it was 3,500,000; and before the end of the year it would amount to 4,000,000. Mr. Pare gave evidence with respect to the traffic. He had estimated the number of passengers which might be expected on the proposed junction line at 1,252,762, which, at an average charge of 3d. each, would yield a revenue of 15,6591. 10s. 6d., from which 4,6971 17s. 11d. would have to he deducted for work ing expenses, leaving a net income of 10,9611. 13s. 4d., being 51 per cent. upon the capital of 200,0001. Mr. Ker said the length of the line would be one mile and three• quarters ; that the smallest radius of a curve would be 18 chains, the steepest gradient 1 in 94, and that the working expenses would be I 8 per cent. on the receipts. The CIALIRMA.N then, without clearing the room, declared the preamble to have been proved. The clauses were then agreed to, with the addition of one for the protection of the property of Mr. Cotton; and the Chairman having been directed to report their decision to the House, the Committee separated. GROUP X. The Committee met this morning at twelve o'clock, Lord Courtenay in the chair, when, in accordance with the resolution come to yesterday, Mr. Webster handed in a series of objections to the sections of the London and York line, especially that at the Hadley.lane Wood, and several others. Mr.: Au TIN stated that he had the same objections to tender, but that he did not think it necessary to make a separate amendment. Mr. WEBSTER, on behalf of the Direct Northern, conceived that this evidence was all that was required to invalidate the London and York line. An animated discussion then arose as to the reception of the ob jections, and the Committee retired ; and after coming to two re. solutions, which were afterwards annulled, they ultimately agreed that no evidence should be rec..ived, except that which related to the datum at the Greenwood.l.tne-road, and at the Robery Wood point, and that notice should be given to the other side. Mr. WYNN claimed his right to adduce rebutting evidence to overturn the traffic testimony of the Direct Northern. Mr. Charles Bartholomew, engineer and surveyor of the River Don Company, which position he had held for the last twelve years, stated that the number of vessels which passed on the Don navigation was twenty-five. Without any reference to the pro ceedings of the Direct Northern Company, arrangements had been made Last year to widen and deepen the canal up to Doncaster, from sft. 9in. to Bft. 6in., in order to make the canal navigable for large vessels. Negotiations had been entered into with Mr. Wrightson and Sir William Cook, as well as other landowners, for the purchase of land to the amount of 20,0001. and upwards. But if a fixed bridge were thrown over the canal at or near Stainforth, it would entirely destroy the advantages of this improvement. The heaviest vessels which could now pass were about 80 tons, PRIVILEGr , OF COUNSEL. In the recent trial in which two men, Gompertz and Witham, were found guilty of conspiracy to defraud Captain Hose, that gentleman felt himself aggrieved by the language used by Mr. Fitzroy Kelly, in commenting upon his evidence.

(Before Mr. Baron ALDERSON. ) George Hicionott, on Wednesday, pleaded guilty to four charges of forging receipts, was placed at the bar to receive sentence. Several witnesses gave the.prisoner an excellent character. Mr. Baron ALDERSON said there was no doubt that the prisoner had prior to this transaction borne a very good charac ter, but still the offence was one of so serious a description, that it was impossible to pass it over without inflicting a severe sen • tence, such as would be likely to deter other persons committing it in future. A short time ago the prisoners life would in all probability have been forfeited, and although the Legislature had of late taken a more merciful view of the offence, it doubly became the duty of the judges to take care that no mis placed lenity on their parts led to an increase of the offence, and compelled a return to that dreadful punishment which the Legislature had abolished. He then sentenced him to be trans ported for ten years. Witham Leonard, 24, and John O'Brien, were indicted for feloniously assaulting L.:llen Reeney and causing an explosion of inflammable gas upon her, whereby she was severely burned and injured, with intent to kill and murder her ; and Patrick Twon,y, 33, was indicted for telomously procuring, hiring, and commanding the first-mentioned prisoners to do and commit the felony. The circumstances under which the charge was preferred will be fresh in the recollection of our readers, as they have been given very recently in the police retorts. Mr. Baron ALDERSON, at the close of the case for the pro secution, expressed his opinion that there was no evidence to induce the jury to conv.ct the prisoners of the offence of in tending to murder the peosecutrix. He doubted whether, in law, if the prisoners had really caused the explosion by the act imputed to them—viz., unscrewing the gas-pipe, it would come within the scope of the Act of Parliament., or whether they could be charged with the intent to murder the prosecutrix. In his opinion, the more probable intention and object was to' burn and injure the house, but, at all events, he could not help thinking chat the evidence was very slight to support such a serious charge. The jury concurred in the view of the case taken by his Lord ship, and they, therefore, at once returned a verdict of Not Guilty. William Wallis was indicted for the manslaughter of James Boxall. It appeared that the prisoner and the deceased were at a public-house together, both being slightly intoxicated, when they quarrelled, and eventually fought, and the deceased, ►n the scuffle, received such injuries as caused his death. Evidence was adduced for the defence to show that the de ceased had forced the quarrel and fight upon the prisoner, and the latter received a very good character. • The jury found the prisoner Guilty, but strongly recom mended him to mercy, Mr. Baron ALDERSON sentenced him to a month's solitary confinement. . Margaret Shaughnessy was indicted for unlawfully desert mg her child. After the examination of some witnesses,. Mr. Baron ALDERSON expressed an opinion that the evi dence did not support the specific charge contained in the in dictment ; and the jury accordingly returned a verdict of Not Guilty. (Before Mr. Baron PARKE and Mr. Alderman MUSGROVE.) John Marshall was placed at the bar, charged with a criminal assault upon the person of Sarah Ann Strate, a child of tender years, on the 24th June last, in the house of her aunt, a washer woman, living at No. 10, Little Coram-street, Mr. O'Brien appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Ballantine for the prisoner. It appeared from the statement of counsel, that the prisoner was living in the same house with the prosecutrix and her aunt ; that upon the night laid in the indictment the prisoner committed the offence with which he stood charged, and which would be detailed by the prosecutrix. Sarah Anne Strate was then called ; her appearance created the greatest sensation ; she did not appear to be more than eight or nine years old, though stated to be between ten and eleven, and of very weak and delicate frame. Having st...ted that she understood the nature of an oath, and was aware of the consequences that would follow a violation of it, she was sworn, and deposed that pn the night in question she was alone in the house; her aunt liad gone out. The prisoner came into the room and put her on the sofa, and told her not to tell, and that he would give her sixpence a week. (Here the prosecutrix described the particulars of the as sault, which were very revolting and disgusting.) The prisoner had hurt her very much and she cried out ; she told Mrs. Higgins and Mrs. Parker the day after. One of them examined her and then took her to a gentleman's house, and from that she went to Worcester by the train. Cross.exarained by Mr. BALLANTINE—When her aunt came in on Saturday the prisoner was present, and said, " if this charge is to be made against me, let her be examined by a surgeon ;" was examined by a surgeon. By the COURT—Ia the surgeon here ? Mr. BALLANTINE---1 believe not, my Lord. Prosecutrix, then la continuation, said she had been turned away from school because she was bad, she meant by that that she would not learn the books; never mentioned at school that any one ever behaved indecently to her. Sarah Higg.ns sworn—Lives in the same house with prosecutrix's aunt. Remembers the 28th of June. Prosecutrix complained to her on that day and said that the prisoner had been ill-treating her. Witness and Mrs. Harper examined the child's person and found that she had been seriously injured, Police constable James Newman deposed that he apprehended the prisoner in the house in question about one o'clock in the morning of the 29th June. One of the women present said the child had been sent away about a fortnight. The aunt said she had been sent away only that evening. Here the case closed. The prisoner's Counsel did not address any observations to the • jury. The Learned JUDGE said that there was not sufficient evidence to prove the more serious offence; but he thought it would be well to remand the prisoner to the next sessions, and then have him tried for attempting a criminal intercourse with a child under the age of twelve years of age and above ten; the prisoner to be admit ted to bail upon giving security, himself in 801., and two sureties in 401. each. MAHON V. GRAHAM, This was the next case called on, and was one of a rather com plicated nature in its details. The facts appeared by the evidence to be shortly these. Two persons, named Corner and Mahan, were applied to by the defendant to advance a loan of 4001. to a Mr. Basket, a builder, upon a mortgage of some property he had ; the deed was made out in an office, on the door of which was defendant's name, but he represented himself as acting for Mr. Warren, a solicitor ; 3601. of the money was advanced by Corner, and the remaining 401. by Mahon, white the deed was alleged to have been made out for 3601. ; defendant paid Corner 81. on two occasions, in lieu of 10/, being the amount of the money advanced to Basket, who died in 1843, but Corner said he never got the deed. A witness named Bousfield was called to prove that he saw Cor ner get the deed from defendant, but Corner denied that such was the fact. The counsel who cross. examined the witness asked him a variety of questions from his brief, with a view to contradict him' but he answered in the negative to every one of them. The Court was occupied the greater part of the day with the case. MURDER OF MR. PALMER AND EIGHT SEAMEN OF HER MAJESTY'S SLOOP WASP. PLYMOUTH, Jim's* B.—The ten men (eight of them calling themselves Brazilians and two Spaniards) charged with the murder of the above unfortunate and promising officer and party, were examined at the Plymouth Guildhall this day. Although the intention of having the prisoners examined at the Guildhall was not generally known; the Guildhall was crowded with parties anxious to catch a view of the mur derers. Mr. Eastlake, the Crown solicitor, appeared on behalf of the prosecution. The prisoners had the evidence interpreted to them, and Mr. Collier, the Portuguese consul, and Mr. Los combe, the Spanish consul, attended by professional assistance, watched the :case on -behalf of the prisoners. ?Frbrre dice openinotateinent • of Mr. Eastlake, 'it appeared .that the. jurisdiction of the-magistrates was-under -the 7th and Bth Victoria, which continued the powers 'under the 7th Geo. IV., relating to offences committed on the high seas, and for the more speedy trial of the offenders. The object of asking the magistrates to commit the prisoners on the capital charge was to have them tried either at the Castle of Exeter or at the Central Criminal Court, as the Government might determine. The locus in quo was on the coast of Africa, at a place called Lagos, near the Bight of Benin, and the time February last. The details of the entire case were of the most dreadful description. It appeared that on the 27th Februry the boats of the Wasp boarded a suspicious Brazilian vessel, called the Felicitade, which, being found fitted for slaves, was taken as a prize. Very soon after another very suspicious vessel was descried, which proved to be the Echo, having a cargo of 434 ( who had been 48 hours without food) on board. Lieutenant t'tupart, who was in command, took charge of the Echo, and directed Mr. Palmer and nine men to take charge of the Feiicitade, into which ship nine from the Echo were re moved. The next thing that Lieutenant Stupart heard of her was, that she had been recaptured by those on board, but he little deemed that the awful tragedy which would be detailed in ,viderice had been committed. The Felicitade hove in sight of the Echo, and communicated the intelligenc e j ust stated ; but , being a faster sailer, made off. Fortunately, however, the Star within a very short time recaptured the Felicitade, then sailing under an assumed name, and the appearance of her decks were such as left no doubt that a horrible con flict had recently taken place. About four-and-twenty hours after the prize had been taken, three men volunteered a state ment, to the effect that the slaver ws really called the Felici tade, and had been previously taken by a midshipman and party of nine men, who had all been murdered by the crew of the slaver. A book was found on board bearing the name of Lieu tenant Stupart, of the Wasp, and this left no doubt of the cor rectness of the evidence offered by the approvers. As if the tragedy which had taken place was not sufficiently complete, the gallant officer who was placed in command of the slaver the second time, Lieutenant Wilson, had endured the utmost degree of suffering. The Felicitade,du6ng a terrific storm, was over set, and Lieutenant Wilson, with his men. were twenty days on a raft, exposed to the greatest danger, and momentarily expecting death. He saw no less than five of his men fall off Cygnet. The gallant officer, though he had been exceedingly the raft, but was at length provide ntiall y p icked u p by the ill, was happily sufficient recovered to be present that day. Lieut. Robert Douglas Stupart was sworn, and said—l am a lieutenant in the Royal Navy, and in February last I belonged to her Majesty's sloop Wasp, and was on duty in her off Lagos, in the Bight of Benin, on the coast of Africa. On the 26th of that month, at eight o'clock PM , boarded, in the pinnace, the Felicidade, a Bra.. zilian two.masted schooner. She had a crew of about 28 men, and was completely fitted for the slave trade. 1 therefore detained her as a slave vessel, until the Wasp, which was also in chase of her, came up, which she did about ten o'clock the same evening. On the following morning gave up charge of her to the master, and went on board the Wasp. In the afternoon of the 27th, between four and five o'clock, I went on board the Felicidade to relieve 11ir: Roberts. Captain Usher w ade 4 communication t o me , a nd I steered a particular Course. At ab ou t eight o'clock the same evening the look-out mail reported a sail to the leeward. .At daylight of the 28th I saw a brigantine to the windward, and after a chase of the whole day I came up to her at about ten o'clock at night. I hoisted the colours in the jolly boat, and fired a pistol, as a signal for her to heave to. She did BODY FOUND IN THE RlvEß.—Wednesday the body of a very respectably.dressed, middle-aged man, apparently the captain of some vessel, was picked up near the Horns, at Cuckold's-point, Rotherhithe. He is at present unknown ; but the following description may possibly lead to his identity previous to the inquast :—He is about five feet nine inches, rather stout, dressed in a blue cloth jacket, new velvet waistcoat, and white trou,ers. Round his neck a ribbon was suspended, wit h a medal of the Shipwrecked Fishermen and Mariners' Society, and he had a letter in his pocket, apparently from his wife, and signed " Jane Wilson," dated from Sunderland, with no address. He had Its. or 12s. in his pocket and some keys. The body now lies at Rother hithe church. _ _ ......_ _ PORCINE VORACITY.—On Saturday last one of the cattle waggons on the Sheffield, Ashton-under.Lyne, and Manchester Railway, wag loaded at Ardwick station with a small number of sheep and lambs, two cows, and six pigs, of the Irish breed. On the train arriving at the Glossop station, it was found that the pigs had nearly devoured one of the sheep, and were fighting for that portion of the carcase which remained. They had also succeeded in killing a lamb just as the train stopped. It is needless to say that the hapless cattle dealer, who was riding in an adjoining carriage, soon caused aseparation on alighting from the train.—,Manchester guardian. INSURANCE COMPANIES.
