",, - -r • m - . 4 .4) Qsblltinit 112'6 ' LONDON, FRIDAY, AUGUST 15, 1851 We feel it our duty to direct public attention to certain portions of the judgment delivered by Mr. &CEEB, the magistrate, at the Greenwich Police court, on Saturday last, in dismissing a charge. brought by certain of the servants of the South- E tstern Railway Grmpany against Lord RANBLAGO and Mr. RowAND for an assault and for obstructing them in the execution of their duty. In thus di• recting the attention of our readers to certain dicta of Mr. SECKER, we beg it to be distinctly understood that we cautiously abstain from giving any opinion on the subject of the charge brought by the railway servants against Lord RANELAGEI, or on the cross charge brought by his Lordship against them, which last will have to be investigated by a jury, to whom alone it belongs to determine, amidst the mass of conflicting evidence, to whose statements and to what extent they choose to attach credit, and who will possess the great advantage of being enabled to watch the manner of the witnesses as they re spectively give their evidence. The dictum of Mr. SACKER, however, has nothing whatever to do with the credibility of the witnesses on one side or on the other; it proceeds upon the assumption that whosoever has purchased a railway ticket has thereby acquired an absolute right to be upon the platform of the railway, and to force himself into any train into which it may please him to force himself, and that, regardless of the fact, that such rushing to the platform, and such forcing into the train, may, in many instances must, endanger human life. In giving his judgment, Mr. SECKEIt states that " the first part of the transaction is a conflict arising between some passengers at a railway station, and the officers who are there placed to execute certain duties," and he then proceeds as follows : " With respect to the first, I am called upon to con vict two passengers, what their condition in lie may bo it matters not, for assaulting and obstructing officers of the railway while is the execution of their duty. In order to convict them of any such offence, it seems to me that I must first believe that those officers were in the execution of their duty, and that, being so, they were obstructed by the defendants. Now, in my opinion, the officers were not in the execution of their duty ; and it is for this reason that I have had it put in evidence that these parties who presented themselves at the railway, and who are accused of attacking the officers, are en titled by the payment of a certain sum to be carried by the railway company. By that payment the railtvGy company contracted an obligation to admit them to the piny° , m, so that they might avail thmselves of the liceuse t, travel by their train, which they by such pay ment had obtained; consequently, these passengers were entitled to have free ingress to the station and egress trom ir,_ in order to make use of the train iu the fulfil ment of bat contract. These passengers, then, having bsen permitted to pass the outer barrier, bad a right to ',xpect that the coast would be c.ear, and that they w(.uld not find any one ints.rtering with them. 1 , then , these passengers, having thus acquired this right to pass, were improperly interfered with, can it be said that those offic,rs who were guilty of such interference were in the execution of their dill? I think not. There fore, with respect to this charge-, iu which I am asked to clnviet Lord Raneltgh and Mr. Michael Roe and, for that they did unlawfully and wilfully obstruct William Price and Thomas Witidows, bsiug • fficers of the South- Eastern Railway Coi=any, they being iu the due exe cution of their ditty, I am of opinion that those nun were not in the execution of their duty, and they, fore the information must be dismissed, and I dismiss the complaint accordingly." It Mr. SECIEER be right in his judgment, then must all railway companies in self-defence cease to issue day-tickets; but we think that on reconsideration Mr. SECKER himself will be inclined to greatly modify his conclusions. The purchase of a day-ticket, for example, gives the purchaser a right of conveyance from the place of purchase to some other place and back again within the period to which the ticket is limited ; it gives him a right of passage across the platform to the train by which he is to be con veyed to the place of his destination, but it is with the company, and not with the passenger, that the decision rests as to what that train shall be; and the right of transit across the platform for a specific pur pose, gives no right of abiding on the platform, still less does it give the ticket-holder any right to force his way on to the platform when he has been dis. tinctly told that the train about to start is full, and that there is no room for him. Let us suppose for a moment that Mr. SECKER is right in his view, and then let us see "the confusion worse confounded" which would in such case be the normal state of every railway platform in the kingdom. A train comes up and stops at a station, the persons on the platform make a general rush and scramble to wards it; it is in vain that the officers endeavour to preserve order, all these persons have paid for their tickets, and have, by such payment, acquired, iiC• cording to Mr. SECICER, the right- of remaining upon the platform, and of having free ingress and egress to the train ; it is in vain for the passengers already in the train to remonstrate with the platformers, or to de clare that the train is full; the platformers have a right to intrude themselves, and the police have not, accord ing to Mr. ShCKER, any right to interfere to preserve order. If Mr. SEEKER be right then will every railway platform become the scene of the most disorderly and dangerous confusion, then shall we be horrified by accounts of shocking accidents occurring through the frantic eagerness and crass ignorance of plat formers, wilfully rushing into danger, notwithstand ing the remonstrances of the railway offijals, who, thanks to the decision of Mr. &CZAR, will be unable to do anything more effectual than to offer remon strances, and then will the columns of our anti-rail way company nnitemporaries be filled with the indignant remonstrances of persists who, intending to go to Windsor, insisted upon their right of enscoucing themselves in the next train, which proved to be a Southampton one, and of others who found themselves at Greenwich when they in tended to go to Brighton. Such must necessarily be the result of depriving the railway cfficials of all right of regulating admission to the platform, and of giving the purchaser of a ticket immediate right of in gress and egress, whether the train about to start be or be not the one intended for his conveyance. lii the meantime we would suggest to the directors of the railways the adoption of a plan which would do much to prevent the recurrence of any more RANELAGR adventures. We would suggest that the passengers should be placed in large waiting-rooms, in which notice should be posted, whenever a train is full, that no more persons can be admitted on the platform, but that another train will start at such a time, in which precedence w ill be given to those then in waiting over those who may come afterwards. We are certain that the adoption of some such plan as this would tend materially to the comfort of the passengers, and would at the same time facilitate to the officers of the company the performance of the very onerous duties which now devolve on them. We wonder whether any members of the Peace Congress were present at the recent review given in P aris, in honour of the London visitors, and if so, what impressions were made upon their minds by that splendid display of military power. Up wards of 40,000 treops, in the highest condition of discipline, executing a series of brilliant manoeuvres with rapidity and precision, to the ecstatic delight of the countless mass of spectators, must have shown them rather forcibly that warlike preparations and warlike ta-te are by no means at a discount in the capital of France. It can have been no very encou raging prospect for the reception of their visionary projects among our gallant neighbours. A single city is found to turn out for a field-day almost as many regular soldiers as ere appropriated to garrison the e ntire of the British islands ; and with this visible display of warlike force, and knowing the immense resources possessed by the Republic, and by the other rovers of Europe, we are gravely besought to reduce our comparatively insignifi cant armament t o a con temptible handful, and to leave ourselve s a t th e mercy o f o th ers , relying wholly in theirsting pacific and fr a t erna l s y m p a thi e s, and ostenta tiously dive ti ourselves of the it gitimate means of repelling aggressio n . A s to the idea of maintaining ihe high position which Et gland holds among the nations--a positio n won by the energy and lifeblood of her 60118—that is, we presum e , abh orren t to their SUN% LONDON,' sensitiveness as savouring of an insane chivalric pride, and, in that expanded spirit of philanthropy which would remove all bars and bolts from a dwell ing-house, induce the owner to leave all his drawers stir' coffers unlocked, and to walk about the streets with his handkerchief and the end of his purse bang ing out of his pocket in amiable reliance on the meek ,iess and integrity of his fellows, they regard a. musty and unworthy of an enlightened confidence that time honoured ad age—"Sivispacem, bellum para." seriously speaking, those gentlemen are—giving them full credit for sincerity of purpose and absence o 4 ,inister design—political quacks. They seem to think that PAOVIDENCE has fallen asleep, and that i ,s their province to undertake the regeneration of th. -lumen race. That a time will yet come in the worin'e -tistory when the principles of peace will b. triumphant, when there will be a genuine brother iood of nations united in the bonds of a prevailing Christianity, and co-operating in the development of he arts of civilization and peace, we as dutifully be lieve as they can ; but it is a mere piece of blina absurdity to suppose, that, in the present ominous con lition of continental Europe, transitionary to catas trophes which it is not for us to determine, th , logmas of any school can magically alter the current if affairs, and instantaneously lull the conflictiug Jassions of humanity. It will not do for us to be Quixotic to the risk of our own undoing. the amelioration of human nature is no' to be precipitated by instruments howeve r well-meaning, nor will it, we grievously suspect, b - ound to be materially pushed forward by any self lauded nostrum, whether it be clairvoyance, vege 'arianistn, or Peace Congressism. If our well-intentioned friends would devote their exertions to matters of practical utility, and to tb. furtherance of practicable objects, we should un feignedly rejoice at beholding their estimable qualifier lirected into commendable and profitable channels. Without striving to drag 4STR2E& back on earth before her time—constituting themselves a sect of moral " jumpers"—there are matters which it be noves Reformers, deserving of the appellation, to fake in hand with an earnestness of purpose, to work out in a persevering and business-like manner, not with desultory and fitful mouth-service. The bulk of the people require to be clearly enlightened as to the crying necessity of financial reform. The inequalities, hardships, and absurdities of the existing fiscal system are paralysing the wall-being of the middle and tower classes. Electoral reform is imperatively de manded commensurate with the progress of the na tion. The latter, indeed, should be strenuously agitated during the recess, for the admission made by the PREMIER of his disapproval of the continuance of that abominable absurdity—the property qualifica tion for Members, and the support given to the in troduction of the ballot by several Members of her MAJESTY'S Government render the abolition of the one, and the adoption of the other, matters of certain attainment at no distant day. The more emphatically the voice of popular urgency makes itself heard in high places, the more speedy and facile will be the , egislation of two points in that scheme of reform, which, sooner or later, with, or despite of Whig aid And Conservative opposition, must become the law of the land. Extension of the suffrage, on the broad, boniest principle that every man directly contributing his quota towards the na tional exigencies should likewise have the ,a-ivilege, or more properly speaking, the right of di. reedy participating iu- the selection of the represen taives of the people in the Commons House of Par :iaroent ; an equitable arrangement of electoral districts, whereby the representation may be duly apportioned, and popular sentiment satisfactorily enunciated,—these, and such like measures, are pro perly the immediate objects for active consideration on the part of those who are desirous of working for the substantial benefit of their countrymen. Who ever will direct his energi-s to the promotion of con stitutional freedom, and the diminution of the bur dees of taxation, will effect far more good in his gene ration, and contribute more towards the substantial happiness of his brethren, than if he were to harangue by the hour on the blessings of defencelessness, and the iidernalism of gunpowder, in Exeter-hall. Frank fort-on-the Maine, or wherever the prosers of the Peace Congress may yet prefer to pitch their platform. ROBBERY BY AN OFFICIAL AT TUE GREAT Ex- HIBITIoN.—A new person has been appoiuted to a most lu crative .ituation in the Great Exhibition, occasioned by the sudden dismissal of cne of its officers, who, it appeared, was placed in a department where the money proceeds of each day were deposited. A watch was aet upon the individual in question in consequence of his suspicions conduct, and one of the Sappers and Miners detected him purloining the money. The " man of war" instantly apprised one of that most useful class, " the detectives," of the tact, and in a short time afterwards the officer hinted to the delinquent that he must search his pockets. This h .ving been done the guilt of the entrusted cfflzial was discovered, and Superintendent Pearce set the electric telegraph at work to know from Winds , ,r what was to be done in the matter, but, strange to say, the answer received amounted to not to detain the pri soner. Such being the case, he, of course, instantly left the Exhibition out of custody, but appeared at his station yes terday (Thursday) morning, when be was instantly ordered to leave the building, contrary, apparently, to is expecta tions, for he had thought that " influence" would have re stored him. DEATH OF Da. STANr•RD.—This well-known gentleman died at Windsor on the 6th inst. The deceased was much and deservedly respected in professional and private life, and had very successfully practised as a physician in that town for the last 30 years. Dr. Stanford served with the expedition to Hanover in 1805; at the capture of Ma deira in 1807; and subseq ently in the Peninsula, with the Buffs and the 29th. He was present in Sir John Moore's re treat nom Corunna, in the battles of Talavera, Busse°. and Albuhuera, in retreat to and defence of the lines of Torres Vedras, the pursuit of Messina, the actions of Pumbal, Redinha, and Campo Mayor, and first siege of Hadajos. In 1814 he accompanied the expedition to America, and was present at the attack and capture of the forts of Castine and Machine. He served also in the campaign of 1815, including the capture of Paris. Dr. St2.ntord was professionally employed at Cooling during the epidemic lever in 1812. He received a medal and clasps for the battles of Telave a and Albuhuera, in Spain. Au in stance of his uncompromising spit it in the discharge of his duty was di.played during the retreat from Talave-a. The wounded of the division was sent to the rear, and the doctor had charge of the men of till brigade to which he belonged. A Spaniard complaine that the wounded mf-n were trouble some, and the commandant ordered them o be encamped as a punishment. The doctor represented the danger of such an arrangement, declaring that the men were so badly wounded as to render it likely that exposure to the cold night air, after the hot days. would prove fatal to them. The men were kept in quarters, and not one of them died, whilst iu the brigades that %ere encamped several men perished. Dr. Stanford had attained his 69th year, and has leer no family. J. F Stanford, Esq., M.P. for Reading, is the nephew of the deceased, but it is understood that his property has been bequeathed to the hon. gentleman's brother, Sir Robert Staudford. TkIMP EST IN LOWESTOPT.—•-(FrOMI a Corre4pon dent.)—On Wednesday afternoon, at four o'clock. the at mosphere became oppressive, the clouds increasing from the south-west. The lightning began abut half-past eight o'clock P Bs. Between nine and ten o'clock the electrical corruscatiens were incessant; a smart shower fell for half an hour. At twenty minutes before ten o'clock a severe flash of forked lightning and at the same time a ball of fire fell into the sea, which was followed by a loud con t inued r u 1 o f thunder. The brilliancy of the electricity was so great that ships might be distinctly seen at a distance of three miles. This might be termed an electrical exhibition of the hea vens. There were many persons to view its effects on the see, the lightning displaying various colours. At times it gradually passed to the north-cast. The moon shone bright at eleven o'clock ; the wind during the time was from the south-west and light. The barometer fell in the afternoon. Tne lightning ce , ranued to play in the distance until after m.dniglit. 1 bays not heard of any damage done by the storm. Thursday, 10 A.m., wind Lesh, breeze west, with rising clouds. FATAL ACCIDENT. --- An inquest was held yester day by Mr. Bethord, at Charing-eross Hospital, on the body of William John Leitch. who met his death under the iug circumstances Deceased, who was a carpenter, was ern_ on Monday week, at Professor de Waldeck's new theatre of optical illusions, at Hungerford- hall. He had oc casion during his work to go to the roof of the building in side to fix a block, when he fell through the ceiling to the ground, a height of thirty-three feet. When taken up he was insensible, but after recovering at the hospital he stated that when he got up to the roof the heat was so suffocating that he fainted away, and lost his foothold. Mr. Dalton, the house-surgeon, stated that, in addition to other severe ries, he had suffered compound fracture of the spine. The jury returned a verdict of " Accidental death." LIVERPOOL D.

Longcloths and T cloths continue to move off, and the business of some of the fa vourite makers is only limited by their power to supply the demand. in several counts of yarn, as well as cloth, buyers have also prices, adifficulty in supplying their wan ts without g iv ing higher even o. at and a slightare not ad vaahnicee.to The Germans fot- areim mgeidviiantge delivery out oulers more freely for yarns, and tbr the Levant end tor the Russian markets there is ul.o a fair inquiry. Printing 1 cloths and narrow ahirtings fully sustain last quotations, and the demand of most kinds appears to be fully equal to the production. - .

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Gazette de France announces a new candidate for the Presidency in the person of M. DE LAROCII JAQUELEIN. He is put forward by the honest section ,if the Legitimatists, as contradistinguished from the Jesuit and Parti-pretre section, who fight under the nanners of BKKEYER, DE FALLOUX, and DE MOATA- LemBEET. These latter gentlemen are in a state of .;teat alarm lest the Prince DE JOINVILLS should start is a candidate. Their organ, the Union, thus descants on the subject : Three parties would be greatly agitated by the else ion of the Prince de Joinville—the epu_ R h ...l_can, which ietests so heartily the royalty of July; the Legttimatist, o which an audacious and insolent challenge would be oven, and the patty of the Ely i, which would behold with grief so fine a booty cam/ d t,ff, when it seemed tlmost within its grasp. We do not spt ak of the So etdist party, which would leap with joy at the idea of a towing dispute b-tween the monarchical soldiers. Coati .ions amongst them would be inevitable, and the three .ninoritivs which the President would tm. triumphed ,ver the day before, united against him after the victory, .vould constitute in the Assembly a hostile majority. Tech would be the first result of the accession of the trines de Joinvilie to the office o f p res id,. nt; t h at resu l t vould be war be , wren the two priucip ,1 powers of the .tate—tvar without truce or mercy—war without any ither pos , ible issue but,riots on one side and coups•d'etat in the other " The Debats temporizes, and the Ordre boldly an 4nuounces the Prince DS JoiNvtixit as its candidate. Che Ordre publishes the following letter addressed to tea editor, M. DR CRAMBOLLE, by M. ROGER (du Nor , l): e• Puy &sr Colleague,—Some journals have attributed .0 toe a mission from our friends in Paris to the Prince le Joinville. I have, in fact, been to England and to icoilsnd. I have had the nounur of seeing the Pi ces f the 11 , 181 Family of Orleans and :heir august mother. I never received a mission from any one to go to Eng ..nd, and on my return I never made myself the organ f any I,na. It it is wished to know my opinion on the question which appears to excite so much attention . I 4111 say that it is my deep and personal conviction that !f the country calls for the devotedness of the Prince le Joinville, he will never be found wanting to France. —Accept, &cc., (Signed) ' "ROGER (du Nord). " Paris. August 14. 1851." " The Messager says : 'e It is positively stated that the President of the Re public will leave Paris between the 20th and 25th of the pr sent month, fur a tour in the departments. The ['resident will go to Bordeaux. He is to stop two days at Angouleme, and three or four days at Bordeaux, -here he will receive deputations from Toulouse, Agen, Nilontabau, Aucb, Carcassonne, Montpellier. &c. From Bordeaux the President will go to Rochelle and Roch tort, and will return by Perigueux, Limoges, Moulins, , ind Fevers. This journey will occupy from ten to welve days. He will be accompanied by the Ministers of the Interior, Finance, and War. The prwects of the tiff.rent localities were yetiterday informed of the in tended visit of the President, which, it is said, was de cided on in a Council of Ministers before the separation of the assembly. It appears that the President of the Republic has renounced the idea of passing ten days at the Camp of Luneville, as heat first intended." The Univers continues its laudation of the King of NAPLES as the worthiest of Monarch., and attacks Mr. GLADSTONE as a sort of Lars-LEDRII ROLLIN. The Pairie of last evening says :—" We are happy to be able to rectify the details which have been given relative to the accident in the church of the rivalides during the funeral ceremony of Marshal SEBAsrimit From precise information we are , uktbled to state that only five fi .gs were entirely de stroyed and sixteen seriously iejured. The celebrated umbrella of ABDsB RHAMAN, taken at the battle of Isly, has somewhat suffered.

The Jemmlpes was to return again to Cadiz in a short time with the Ville de Paris. The Diario of Bircelona contradicts the account published by another journal of that city, of M. Louis BLANC having been there. A French gentleman of the name of Louis BLANCH was there, and the simi larity of the names gave rise to the mistake.

STOCKHOLM, AVG. 9.—The intelligence from Nor way is not satisfactory, the working men's unions are threatening a revolt, and some members of the S!orth ing proclaim loudly against those measures of Go vernment adopted in cc nsequence of this state of !Walt, and other members h tings Mrs L were summoned Lit by the police to give evi dence on the investigation of the workmen's agitation. The papers of several suspected persons have been seized. 'lUttlib Y. The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort has the fol lowing from Con.itantinople, dated the 24th ult.:— " The question of the Holy S e pul c hre ha s j us t entered on a new phas ic. The Ottoman Porte has de clared to M. de Lavalette—lst. That it will not in tei Jere in the affair; 2. That it considers the Geeeks as the legitimate poasessors of the S,p u lchr e . M. de Lavalette bad communicated this answer both to the Pope and to the President of the F ren ch R e p u bli c . He received an answer directing him to invite the Porte to explain its intentions in writing. The Porte has accordingly named a Commission, composed of the First Dragoman of the Divan, Emir Effendi; the Grand Logothete Aristarchos, and 1111 . Botta, the ex- Consul at France, well known for his discoveries at Nineveh." The Osservatore Dalmato, of the 31st ult., states that about 1,000 men have been sent by the SULTAN to Niksik, and that others are expected thwre, in order to commence operations against the Monte negrins. ITALY. It is said that the Fors meditates a flight to Bologna. Low TIDE —YestPrdiy there was an unusually low tide, in consequence of which several of the abov , - bridge steam-boats ran aground and were dei yed a consi derable time upon their j , urney. About twelve o'clock Citizi n steam boat L, which was loaded with passeng-rs, on its way from Chelsea to Kew-briiige, ran aground off Wands worth-fields, where it remained fixed for some time. The captain endeavoured to run the vtaisel into the middle of the stream, but, was unable to d ) so, as the river was Exceed ingly low. 'There was scarcely any water in some part s near Putney -bridge, and the bottom of the river was quite visible. Some of the passengers were much alarmed, and soon afterwards the Echo, Richmond stea - iter, which was also crowded, came up, and was placed in a similar position. The Queen, Vivid, and another Citizen steam-boat followed in rapid succession, and for some minutes it was impossible to say whether they waild not run aground. However the Queen, which was light, in consequence of there being only a few passengers en board, steered for the centre of the stream, and pissed between the Echo and Citizen L; the Vivid moon followed in her wake, and atter some trouble the o: her stearcers managed to clear the ground. Ci t i zen L was left to the last, and after backing astern for a short dis tance, the vessel yielded to the helm, ant she a's, passed into the centre of the stream, where there WAS o n l y su ffi c i ent room f,r one vessel to ri d s. fnere were a large number of persons assembled on the bridge, and some little merriment was occasioned by the five steamers following each other to Putney-pier. A lIAMBITRGH COMPOSITOR.--A few days back. in a printing-office in Vienna, a Harnburgh compositor refused to set the types eta manus.cript, because he found it utterly impossible to decipher it. The factotum complained against him to the director, the latter denounced him to the milit.ry authorities, he was f or thwith arre ste d, en d , a t tar a m o nth's investigation, sent for one week in chains to the blockhouse, for being a blockhead. At the annual meeting of the Royal Insurance Company yesterday a dividend was declared at the rate of 5 per cent. Ihe report stated the sum received for premiums last year in the fire department to have been 44,0'.'.1 1., show ing an advance of 27 per cent. over 1849. Atter the pay ment of the dividend, amounting to 13.59 N., a b dance would remain of 12,4191., to be carried to the re-assurance fund.

The market closed firmly at previous rates.—Railway Shares were very dull at much lower prices. In the Colonial Markets, a moderate business has been done this week, and holders have shown an incli nation to meet the wants of buyers, even by a slight concession in prices. Sugar bus been rather cheaper, and also Tea. Rice is in loss demand. Coffee has been very brisk again, and at fuller values. Cotton bas im proved, and good sales are making. For Indigo and Cochineal the inquiry is moderate. The large Wool sales will close this evening, and have gone off uncom monly well.
