If they did not adopt some speedy measures they would he en tirely shut out from other towrs. Ile hoped the projector , of the lines calculated tohe of service to them would that day receive such support as to enable them to go before Parlia ment, and effect the of they had in view. Mr. CARTER then moved the following resolution—" That ' this meeting having considered the several proposed lines of railway to Southend, give their decided preference to that from Lslientield through Billericay, which follows the accus tomed line of traffic and business, and, by pa: sing through all the towns and principal villages, will alone be of real advantage to this district." The resolution was seconded by Mr. HUNT, and carried unanimously. Mr. G. Roorn moved the second resolution—" That the line of railway proposed by the Metropolitan Railways Junction Company, connecting the important towns of • Chelmsford and Gravesend, passing through Billericay, and farming a direct communication between the ecstern end southern counties, is highly calculated to promote the trade and interests of this town and neighbourhood, and well de serves the support of its inhabitants and the agricultural districts adjoining." Mr. WILLIAM OFFIN seconded the resolution, and con gratulated the Chairman upon the respectability of the meeting, and the hopes of soon obtaining the means of rail way communication with other parts of the country. The resolution was carried unanimously. Mr. WILLIAM ROLM proposed the next resolution— " That the other projected lines to Southend will afford no accommodation to the inhabitants of this neighbourhood, brit be positively injurious to their interests, and ought to be discountenanced and opposed." He thought that all who were acquainted with the neighbourhood, would easily see that the lines now proposed would be serviceable to the in habitants of the towns, and that the others would be highly disadvantageous. If the line from Blackwell, called the South Essex line, was to be successful in Parliament, it would not be of the slightest benefit to them, as it would not ap proach them within three miles. Mr. WILLIAM CROSBY having seconded the resolution, The CHAIRMAN, in putting it to the meeting, remarked that the inhabitants of the Rochford Hundreds would, he had little doubt, give them their support, because any line coming threugh Billericay was as good for them as any that could be adopted. Dr. HUNT, in moving the appointment of a committre, and the commencement of a sub cription to promote the foregoing resolutions, concurred in the remarks of the Chairman. This resolution having been seconded and carried, The CHAIRMAN said that the immediate bUsiness of the meeting bring over, deputations from the London and Southern and Metropolitan Railway-8 Junction Companies were pre sent, to give any information regarding their lines which might be desired. Mr. F. W. ETHERIDGE ' of the Metropolitan Junction li ne , said that some of the advantages the town would derive from their railway would be, that the inhabitants would be enabled to obtain coal, lime, and chalk. more speedily arid more econorni,ally than at present, and that the farmers would have better markets to go to, for the railway would open many more parts of the country to them. It must be borne in mind that at Uxbridge, which their railway would pass, there were 2,000 quarters of wheat ground weekly. When that place was put in communication with Essex, it might be fairly expected that one-fifth of that quail: ity would be sent from Essex. Coals, which he believed were sold in the town at from 28s. to 30s. per ton, would be redui ed to 18s. 6d.; chalk, which ci-st flout 7a. to Bs. per ton, would be had for and in lime a saving of 21. 941 in 100 pecks mead be effected.—(al4.ar.) The line would not stop at Tilbury. It was the intention of the company to c.o , si the river, probably by a seam bridge similar to that at South ampton, and thus Kent, Sussex, and Besex would be toited. Mr. SHAW, the solicitor to the London at:d pany, laid before the meeting some details of that lbw. he said that this town did not. depend so much upon itself es upon communication with other towns; and, in his qinioo, it they did not have railway accommodation, it would soot sink into insignificance. That induced them to project ti e railway. In the article of coal, they could get none good under 325. the ton. If the railway were mane, they could get them for 245. The amount of carriage at pr sent WilS Bs. per chaldron. It was calculated by the company that the carriage of coal would be a source of great profit. At present the price charged for the conveyance of lime along the road was 30s. toe waggon, in addition to other expenses, while by the railway the same quantity might be removed the s ime distance for 10s., effecting a saving of more than the cost of the lime.—(Hear, hear.) It would be unnecessary for him to mention the various other articles, the conveyance of which by t ailway would not only be a great benefit to the town, but a source of revenue to the Company. The CHAIRMAN begged Mr. Shaw to inform the meeting what the feeling of the inhabitants of the Rochford Hun dreds was with regard to the proposed lines—whether they were disposed to concur with or to oppose them. Mr. Slum replied that he had conversed with nearly the whole of the principal persons, aod not one of them ex pressed his dissent to the line. Two or three said the pro jects were rather late, and that they had pledged themselves to another line, but they had nothing to fear from fair com petition. Mr. ETHERIDGE said he should like to know what was the most suitable place for the Billericay station. Mr. Room said he had no doubt it would be at the bottom of the town. Mr. ETHERIDGE said the Company was inclined to adopt whatever place the town thought best. Captain SCHNEIDER, of the London and Southend line, next addressed the meeting, and recommended persons re siding in the neighbourhood to purchase shares in the rail way, if only five or six, to let the Legislature see it was not a mere city speculation. They would appear better before Parliament if their shareholders were actually interested in the success of the railway. The following resolution was then carried :—" That the in habitants of the several towns in the hundreds of Barnstaple and Rochford be earnestly requested to concur in the object of this meeting." A Committee having been appointed to carry the resolu ions into effect, a vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman, and the meeting separated.

From Salisbury the line proceedel through the I.: He y of the Bowen up to th e town of Hungerford. H ungertin.d . the line proceeded to Wanta..e. From autrage it pr ceeded to Abingdon, a town w b hich had stag thrmost materially from .the neglect of the Great ern Railway Company, who, instead of runcing r trunk through the town, had left it at a tbattance of about few- miles, the consequence of which was let the inhabitants of that large trading town found ex stre difficulty in conveying themselves and goods to the 0 ,1 , 1 tr.icts in which their customers resided. Agi eater proof tbtetne interest which the inhabitants of that town took in t,nroposed line could not be given than the presence at t:alin e eting of th e M ayor and one of the Aldermen of that p-,1111;c Pu rsuant to a requi s ition p resen t e d t o t h e M ayor, a tbrmeting is shortly to be held in support of the line. luZeat amount of business was transacted at Abingdon ; i e of the c l ot h ing establishments there employed 1,000 fre 'S 11. From Abingdon the ine proceeded to Oxford. * l n whence lines were projected to Rugby and several IMportant places. The Oxford and Salisbury Railway B , ey 4 d thus form a part of a long trunk line from the very t.,2 1 to the north of England, and become a portion of the t ' t integral line from -Poole to Edinburgh. The traffic o),!en Oxford and Salisbury at present wa s no t ver y grea t, p tri gig to the great difficulty of transit, but from rece n t ex erenes they had a confident expectation of vast eaBe; front the augmented facilities which a would Wits f ro by the proposed line. Salisbury at present r ttlW a ' r ` twenty to thirty miles distant from any ke e i: 3 :,. In the present day any town which was In k h"ed from the advantage of a railway must be well th,Ti!xigished. The engineer, Mr. Brees, had gone over ri4 th q,uei and found the engineering difficulties exceedingly tail e ,' The whole length of the line would be fifty-two h et 44 , but a considerable portion would run u p on th e K en - A t (l ,` t ,‘• 7. n Canal, and other railways, leaving the a c t ua l Abeue executed about fan ty miles.

It was stated in the course of the meeting that the promoters of the scheme had every reason to believe it would be successful when brought before Par liament. DIRECT SHEFFIELD AND YORK, AND WAKEFIELD PONTEFRACT, AND GOOLE JuNcTioN,— This line is obtain- ing the greatest attention from the fact of the vast accom modation to an immense mass of pers-es which it is intended to afford. It will commence at Sheffield, and proceed along the North Midland Railway to Swindon, and, branching off in a direct line, pass close to Pontefract, Thotherton, and Knottingly, and on to Burton Salmon, and will again unite with the North Midland Railway. The scheme is Indled with decided satisfaction, more particularly by the people of Wakefield, and, it not presenting any opposing features to existing . railways, will be free from opposition, whilst from its 'Ring a feeder of consideration to the U'aketii I/i, Pontefrac , . and Guilt Railway ( the Bid for which has been already ob tained), it cannot fail but to command the support and co operation of that. Company. The Midland and Birmingham .Railways will likewise benefit thereby, as it will render t hem, in conjunction with the South Midland and Erewash Valley Railways, as direct a means of communication northward as is possible. It is curious that, short as is this railway (being only 17 miles in length), it will form a key of the inmost importance, and a connecting link by which the towns above. mentioned will be brought 10 miles nearer to each other, shortening the distance between York and Sheffield, connect ing the latter with the nearest shipping port, and perfecting the tl ansit between numerous towns of magnitude and Not tingham, Birmingham. Leicester, and Northampton. Tile line has been surveyed by Mr. Charles Vignoles and Mr. John Bevan, and the returns are all in a state of forwardness for Le:sim-ss operations at the commencement of the next ses sion of Parliament. AXIIOLME, GAINSBOROUGH, AND GOOLE RAILWAY.--A very sa.isfactory arrangement has, we sre informed, been made with the York and North Midland Railway Com pany, by which four-and.a.half per cent. will be guaranteed to the shareholders in this line, besides half the surplus profits, which, it is believed, will raise the dividend to seven or eight per cent. Mr. Hudson will be chairman, and the Right Hon. Sir John Beckett, deputy-chairman. Other directors from the York and North Midland Company will also be added to t'e board. GREAT NORTHRAILWAY, OF INDIA FROM ALLANAPAD TO DELIIL—Since the first notice of the appearance of this project it would seem that Sir George Larpent's Company, (the Indian Railway, of which Mr. Macdonald Rowland Stephenson is the engineer, and now at Calcutta,) have re published the names of their board, with an intimation to the public that the line of the above Company from Allaha bad to Delhi was contemplated in their great scheme of the Indian Railway Company. The latter Company, as already notified, have a capital of 4,000.000/. entrusted to them for the purpose of carrying out a line from Calcutta to Delhi (about 500 miles), and that their preliminary survey is now making to Burdwan (about 140 miles). It is also known, that this small Part of the line is to be completed before The Indian Company propose to commence with their works from thence to Mirzapore. It is strongly urged therefore, that although the Indian Company may have proposed to themselves in the outset a succession of Indian railways, yet as they have only taken capital for their first line—from Calcutta to Mirzapore, there exists no good reason, either as affects the European or Indian public, why any new com pany should not proceed with the important line from Alla hal lad to Delhi, so that simultaneously the Great North and West line of India may be in progress—indeed, that it would be a manifest injustice and inconvenience that the public should wait whilst one company can complete their arrange ments for successfully carrying out a given extensive line of the country, which fairly gives employment for the capital and enterprise of many. One fact is most important, that the Indian board is especially favourable to the north-west lines, and that it is not under a pledge to any particular company. THE THAMES TUNNEL RAlLWAY.—Negotiations are now going forward between the Directors of the Thames Tunnel and a party of capitalists, beaded by a gentleman most fa vourably known in the railway world, for the purchase of the tunnel, with the view of carrying a railway direct from the junction of the Eastern Counties and Blackwell lines to the point on the Greenwich line whence the Croy:on, Brighton, and Dover diverge. It is well known that the Thames Tunnel has not returned, and is not likely to return, one farthing of profit to the proprietors, nor even to psy interest on the large sum for which it is morttraged to Government. Under these circumstances, an offer of about 10s. in the pound (which is, we believe, the amount named) seems a perfect God-send to the unfortunate Share holders, a meeting of whom will, we hear, be held to-day, to consider the proposal. Should an arrangement he effected, the atmospheric principle will he adopted Mr. Robert Stepheoson will probably be the eugincer-in-chief, end Mr. Phipps acting engineer, and the direction will consist of members of the Northern and Eastern Dover, Brighton, and Blackwell hoards. There can be no question that a " below bridge" junction of this kind would be of great public utility. —Railway Record.

CHAMBERS, Oct. 15. (Before Mr. Baron PLATT.) QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.-MARTIN V. COLVILL. - GEORGE LORD COLVILL, SUED S COLVILL GEORGE DORE. This was an application to discharge the defendant from prison, on the ground that he was privileged as a peer of Scotland. His affidavit set forth that he claimed the title in 1841. as a descendant of his great-grand- uncle, who died in 1782; and that the peerage was in existence at the time the Act of Settlement was passed. In 1841 it was allecred that an inquisition held at Edinburgh had found hi m t o be the heir to the former Lord Colvill. The point was discussed at some length on the part of the defendant, who, it was stated, had not voted for the repre sentative Peers of Scotland, simply for the reason that no general election had oce,red since he claimed his title. Mr. 1.-NAToN, as Counsel for the plaintiff, resisted the ap plication for a discharge. lie took a preliminary objection to Ihe title of the affidavit made by the defendant, on the ground that, ttp ,, n the lace of the document, the defendant wit; a (.4 , n - intoner. Mr. Baron PLATT overruled the objection.

The defendant bad pleaded to the action as a commoner. I, and )giw's His LORDSHIP overruled the second objection. It was then argued that the title to the peerage was in dispute; and that his Lordship would not, on the authority of a case which was cited, discharge the defendant from prison. Mr. Baron PoArr eventually refused the application. The defendant had done no act as a peer; and, as the courts would sit in a short time, he had better apply to the Court of Queen's Bench. Costs were applied for on the part of the plaintiff, but refused. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 16. (Before Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD.) IN RE HANKS. This morning, Mr. NORTON, the solicitor, made an appli cation under the following circumstances:—The insolvent, Ann Danks, a well-known character, appeared about twelve months since before the late Sir Charles Williams, who ad journed the examination sine die, and remanded the in solvent to prison, where she remained until the 13th inst. Mr. Norton now complained that the notice served upon his client was for the 30th. Mr. Solomon, the solicitor for the insolvent, met Mr. Norton in Court the day after the dis charge, and with a smile, asked him how it was he did not attend to oppose. The notices were not prepared by the messenger, but by the insolvent's solicitor. He would not have troubled the Court about the matter, but it was well known that the insolvent bad sufficient property to pay all the creditors 20s. in the pound. Mr. Commissioner SHEPHERD, upon examining the notice, was of opinion it was the thirteenth.—(Laughter.) There was a very small n.—(Renewed laughter.) Ile was of opinion that Mr. Norton's client had made the mistake. Mr. Norton—lt is evidently a trick, as it was well known he was instructed to oppose. Mr. Cooke and Mr Duncan examined the notice, and gave it as their opinion that it was the thirteentb.—(Laughter.)

He' went into his friend Calait's house to lunch, knowing that, although there were likely to be some "quee r " characters in the parlour, he wa s i n safe hands if the landlord was there. He was told afterwards that lie had been robbed. Mr. HARDWICK asked the prosecutor to make out the money he had when in the house, and the amount of the de ficiency. The'prosecutor attempted to do so, but gave such it con fused and contradictory account of the affair, that Mr. Hardwick said it was quite impossible to make anything at present out of the prosecutor's story. Caunt said he saw the sovereigns taken from the prose ' cutor in the prisoner's hand. There were apparently about eight or ten sovereigns. On compaaing the money found on the prosecutor after the alleged robbery with Isis statement of the amount re ceived during the day, there was a deficiency of eight cove . refgns. • The prisoner denied all knowledge of the robbery. His own money—two pounds odd—had been taken from him, and was in the. prosecutor's possession. The prisoner was ermanded for a few days. George Baker, a shabbily dressed young man, who de scribed himself of " no occupation,' and lodging at a coffee shop, in High-street, Bloomsbury, was charged with com mitting the following robbery, at the Princess's Theatre:— Caroline Smith, servant in a gentleman's family, residing at No. 9, Cumberland-terrace, Regent's-park, stated that a few iniuutes before seven -o'clock last evening, as she was standing on the gallery stairs waiting to enter the theatre, she felt the pressure of some person's hand against herbosom, and directly missed her brooch ; at the same instant, a fellow servant that, was. with her, exclaimed that the prisoner had taken it. She taxed him with having done so, but he strongly .denied.it, and was attempting to make his way through the crowd, when some of the bystanders secured him until he was taken into custody by the police in attendance at the theatre; the .brooch was found on the stairs close to where he lead steed wben.he took it from the prosecutrix's bosom; it was a.canaelfon stone mounted in gold, and of the value of from 7s. to 10s. The prisoner in. his defence said that it was impossible he .could have taken the brooch, as he was not within three yards of the prosecutrix. The prosecutrix said lie was close behind her when he did it. She was quite positive he was the man. Mr. HattnwicK asked if the prisoner was known. Police Sergeant No. 12, of the E division said, that he was convicted at the Central Criminal Court of uttering counter feit money, and sentenced to twelve months' imprisonment and bard labour. On his discharge from gaol be was again taken into custody or a charge of robbery, on which he was convicted at the Middlesex Sessions, and sentenced to six months in the House of Correction, and had only come out of prison a very short time. The prosecutrix said it would be impossible for her to appear against the prisoner if he was committed for trial. Mr. Hannwicie said, that under the circumstances, he `should deal summarily with the case, and convicted the prisener, under the Police Act. sentencing him to three months' imprisonment and hard labour in Westminster Bride well. MARYLEBONE. Maria Farrell, cook to a lady named Wilde, residing in Upper Bryanston-street, Portman-square, was charged be fore Mr. Long with being drunk and creating a disturbance at the house of her mistress, and also on suspicion of steal ing three bottles of wine. 'Mrs. Ann Wilde stated that the prisoner was her servant. On the previous day the daughter of a lady named Cun ningham, residing in the same house, was married, and the • prisoner got very drank in honour of the occasion. She be came very abusive, and threatened to stab all in the house, and to knock her (witness) down. All attempts to quiet her being fruitless, the complainant was compelled to call in a policeman and give her into custody. William Ching, D 23, said he was called by the last wit ness about half-past eight. o'clock last evening. The cook came to the door, and told him if he waited- a minute she would give him a drop of wine. She shortly after came out, and, taking the bottle of wine out of her pocket, gave it to him. He returned the bottle of wine, and the prisoner was given into custody. Hearing something jingle in h e r pocket, he found another bottle, and whilst conveying her to the sta tion a third bottle of wine fell from some part of her person and was broken. She said the wine was her own, and that it had been given to her by the footman. Mrs. Wilde, in answer to Mr. Long, said six bottles of very old sherry were presented to Mrs. Cunningham by the brother of the bridegroom, but only threewere to be found. • Mr. LONG said that the womaies conduct was very bad indeed, but, unfortunately, there was not sufficient for him to send the case for tzial ; therefore, she must be discharged. discovered that the box addressed to Mr. Arrowsmith was missing. The witness did not see the box at all, nor did he see the prisoner twain until he found him in custody at this Court. John Atkins, a clerk in the employment of the Messrs. Pickford, produced the way-bill of the prison( r's van on the evening of the fizli inst., in which was a box for Jersey, and found that the latter was missing. This concluded the evidence in the first case. In the second it was distinctly proved that on the 27th of last month, a brown paper parcel containing 12 shirts, and ad dressed to "Captain G. T. M. Purvis, R. Rev. Mr. Har rion's, F ere h am, H ants, " had been delivered at the booking etlice of Pickford, in Regent-circus, by the servant of Mr. Lodge, of Bond-street, to be forwarded to Captain Purvis. The parcel was taken to the Nine Elms station, from where it had been stolen, and when apprehended, a duplicate for seven of the shirts was found on the prisoner. He was also wearing one at the time of his apprehelr-ion and three others were found at his lodging, as well as the brown paper which formed the wrapper. The prisoner, who declined saying anything in defence, was fully committed for trial on both charges. ATTEMPTED IMPOSITION ON TIIE SOPTII-EASTERN RAIL WAY COMPANY.—Eizabeth Chapman„ a middle-aged female, was brought up in custody of Mr. Henningliam, the superin tendant of police on the South-Eastern Counties Railway, on a charge of attempting to defraud the directors and com pany of that railroad of half-a-crown. Joseph Lane, ticket-collector at the Bricklayers' Arms terminus, deposed that the prieoner came by the 11 o'clock train on the night before, and on collecting the tickets as usual, he asked her for hers, and she replied she had none. He then asked her where she had come from ? And she re plied from Staplehurst, and he then requested 3s. 4d. as her fare. She replied that she bad paid once, and had lost the ticket, but said the amount she paid was 2s. 441. Witne,s told her tly.t there was no such fare on the line at 2s. 3d., and asked her what she had done with the ticket. She re plied that some person asked her for it, and she had given it up. She refused to give her name or address, upon which witness felt it to be his duty to hand her over to Mr. Hen ningh am. _ Henry Edzergton, guard of the train by which the pri soner had travelled, recollected the prisoner getting into the train at Staplehurst. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said she had paid ten pence to come from Staplehurst to Tunbridge, and intended at the time to get out at the latter place, and step there that night, but a gentleman in the train had told her he should pay the difference for her to Deptford, where she resided, but this he had neglected to do. Mr. Henningbam said that the company had been very much imposed upon by persons of the prisoner's description, who, after being employed at hopping in different parts of the country, took a ticket, as in the present instance, for a short distance, and with it travelled to town. Mr. HENRY asked what was the wish of the company in the present instance? Mr. Henningham replied that it had been imposed on so often, that the officers had made up their minds to punish, for the future, all persons attempting the fraud. The prisoner was convicted in the penalty of 205., or, in default of payment, to ten days' imprisonment. QUEEN-SQUARE. CONSPIRACY.—THE ROYAL BELGRAVE LYING-IN INSTITU TION.— Maria Locke, the wife of the manager, surgeon, ac coucheur, &c., of the Royal Belgrave Lying-in Institution, 25, James-street, Buckingham-gate, and Edwin and James Locke, her sons, were placed at the bar for final examination, charged with defrauding Mr. Gawthorp, of 79, Tothill-street, of severai pairs of boots. The particularsof the case have been already fully detailed. Mr. Bowl) said, that although the case had been adjourned, quite sufficient had been made out to call upon him to send the accused before another tribunal for that purpose. The witnesses were then bound over to indict the prisoners at the Central Criminal Court for conspiracy. After some discussion about bail, the prisoners were ulti mately required to find two sureties in 401. each, and give notice to Mr. Woolfe. The accused were sent to prison. SURREY SESSIONS. (Before E. PENRHYN, Esq., and a Bench of Magistrates.) LAMB STEALlNG.—Wednesday Wm. Scrivens, 23, was indicted for stealing two lambs, the property of William Fuller, and in a second count he was charged with killing We lambs with intent to steal their carcasn. Mr. Wallinger prosecuted, and Mr. Charnock defended the prisoner. The prosecutor is a farmer at Tolworth, and on the night of the 6th Of October his shepherd left a flock of seventy two lambs safe in the fold. The next morning two were missing, and on a search being made, the skins and head were found in a ditch in an adjoining field. Suspicion at tached to the prisoner immediately, and upon some consta bles of the V division going to his house they observ ed in a pot a quantity of lam that had evidently been recentl y killed, and also four s h eeps ' ki dneys. U pon comparing this meat with the rem a i ns o f t h e j o i nts le f t in the skins, it was found to fit it exactly. In addition to these facts, it was proved that the prisoner had a very peculiar gait, and turned his toes cut a great deal in walking, and this corresponded exactly with the footmarks that were observed near the sheepfold. The jury returned a verdict of Guilty' a nd the Chairman sentenced the prisoner to be transported for ten years. Music LaccssEs.—The Court then proceeded to hear ap plications for the renewal of licenses for music and dancing, and those of the Southampton Railway Arms, at the Kings ton station, Vauxhall- ga dens, the St. Helena - g arden s , at Rotherhithe, the Castle Tavern, Richmond , an d the Rose mary Branch, Peckham, were grante d without any obser vation. _ _ Mr. Charnock applied, under the recent Act of Parliament, for a license f , r an establishment to be used as a lunatic asylum, at Epsom. 'ln answer to a question from the Bench, the deputy clerk of the peace said that the necessary notice required by the Act had been given, and the plans of the building had been deposited in his (ace ; and the Court then granted the li cense. Mr. Richard Pierce. of the Grapes, Great Suffolk-street, renewed his application for a license to have music and dancing. Mr. Knapp and Mr. Corner supported this application, which was opposed by Mr. Scriven. It will be recollected that a similar application was made last year, but the license was refused on account of it ap pearing that after a previous refusal by the Court Mr. Pierce had continued his performances without any license; and the Court, principally, as it appeared upon that ground, refused him a license, hut at the same time gave an intimation that, if the house was properly conducted for the ensuing year, they would give him one. Mr Knight, in support of the present application, put in a petition, signed by the churchwardens, the parish officers, several of the board of guardians, and four hundred and seventy of the principal inhabitants of the parish, which testified to the respectability of the a pplicant, and the good order that prevailed in his establishment, and prayed the Court to grant the license. Mr. Scriven said, he had a petition, signed by the gover nor and deputy governor of the Queen's Prison, and a num ber of the inhabitants, praying that the license might not be granted. The Court, after some discussion, granted the license. A similar application was made on behalf of Mr. Harr''s, of the Salmon public-house, Union-street, which the Court also granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Wednesday, a gentleman applied to the Lord Mayorfor in formation in what manner to proceed against a person of the same name, to whom the postman, by mistake, handed letters connected with railway speculations meant for the applicant, and who opened and read them. He admitted, in answer to question) from the Lord Mayor, that the offending person, who was no other th an his own broth er , , had, in a ll proba bility, no felonious intention in o p eni ng the letters of allot ment ; but he declared that the practice was extremely dis agreeable, and niight be prejudicial to him if continued. The LORD MAYOR said that no offence had been com mitted of which he could take cognisance. His Lordship added that he knew 14ut very little indeed of railroads beyond the fact that every body was talking of them, and that when a man lookedtoihne eretoinanaesi w e( spa h p y er wh fo a r t h a:lia d e relief, his agony was sure met with in every pag e. ie ha 1 re ason to believe, how ever, that althoug h be had no shares in any railway corn pang, some portion of the press would have it that he either was, or was to be , a p artici p ator in th e advantages arising from some of the s p eculations ; for, i n an article which appeared in a morning paper a . day or two ag o , it was h asked why the Lord Mayor had stepped forward in the case of the Direct Loden and Manchester (Ashurst's) line ? The writer of the article in question had paid him a com pliment to which every member of the Corporation knew him to be not at all entitled ; and lie believed the very re port of the proceedings in the Comm on Council, on the pre sentation of the petit ions on Thursday last, wo u ld t es tif y on what very indifferent authority the writer o f th e paragraph relied: His Lordsh i p said it might be useful to tho , e whose letters happened to fall into the hands of persons for whom they were not intended, to know that the only remedy ap peared to be by complaint to the Pos tmaster -General of the neg:igence of the servants of the establishment.

ALLEGED CONFINEMENT OF A SANE MAN AS A LUNATIC. —Just at the close of the business in the afternoon, a young man, of gentlemanlike appearance, entered the Court, and, addressing Mr. Trail!, requested his advice under the follow ing circumstances : _ The applicant said that in 1843, -while a graduate in Tri nity College, Cambridge, intending to take clerical orders, he had a dispute with a clergyman, which was ultimately refernd to the Bishop of Norwich for his decision. He had an interview with his Lordship on the subject. Shortly af terwards, however, to his (applicant's) surprise, a consulta tion of medical men was held, and a certificate obtained, cer tifying that he was of unsound mind. He was accordingly brought away from college by two keepers, and placed in a private lunatic asylum, although he assured the Magistrate that he was as sane and as capable of conducting his affairs at the time as he was at that moment. After remainirg in the asylum—during which period he had nothing to com plain of but the circumstance of his being deprived of his liberty, and taken away from the pursuit of his studies at college—he was transferred to Bethlehem Hospital, where he was also confined for some months, and from which insti tution he had been recently discharged. Since the latter occurrence he had been residing with a gentleman named Buckley, at Peckham, who maintained him up to the present period, although he received no emolument, his (applicant's) affairs being in such a deranged state, owing to the conduct pursued towards him, that he was totally incapacitated from supporting himself by his own exertions. The object, there fore, of his application was, to ascertain if lie could have re dress against the authorities of Bethlehem Hospital for de taining him there, which he considered was a gross infringe ment of the liberty of the subject, particularly as he was not of unsound mind, and then discharging him from the place, although he made no remonstrance at the time for that purr ose. Mr. TRAILL told the applicant that it was a question with which he could have nothing to do. From the applicant's own admission, it appeared that the proceeding of which he complained had not been adopted until the certificate of two medical officers had been obtained as to the condition of his mind ; that he could not at all perceive that a charge of such a nature as that alluded to by applicant could be alleged against the directors of the admirable, institution where he had been confined, and that previously to his admission the necessary forms had been complied with, and as soon as he was considered convalescent he was permitted to leave the place. The latter circumstance must convince the applicant that the authorities had no inclination to keep him there longer than they considered necessary. The applicant said that he was most unwilling to be living on the bounty of the gentleman who had acted so con siderate a part on his being discharged from Bethlehem—that the fact of his being taken away from college under the cir cumstances already described had the effect of blighting his prospects, and that it was with the view of convincing the world how unjustly he had been treated that made him anxious to adopt proceedings against those who had thrown such serious obstacles in the way of his advancement in life. Mr. TRAILL having repeated that he could not see any just grounds the applicant had for complaining against the authorities of Bethlehem Hospital, the applicant retired from the Court. LAMBETH. STEALING RAILWAY PARCELS. —John Wilkinson, alias IVil liain Chambers, a waggoner, in the service of Messrs. Pick ford and Co., the extensive carriers, who has been in custody for some days past on two charges, the one for stealing a box containing a quantity of plate and jewellery, and the other for a parcel con t a i n i ng a dozen of shirts, wa i s_ placed at the bar before Mr. Henry for final examination , Mr. Swan, a solicitor, attended on the partruf Messrs. Pick ford and Company, to prosecute. In addition to the evidence given upon the former exami nation, and which appeared in the Morning Chronicle, the following was adduced : Mr, William Taylor, a professor of music, residing at No. 12, Arlington-street, Saller's Wells, deposed that in the month of June last Mr. Arrowsmith, a friend of his, residing at Belmont-row, St. Heliers, Jersey, on leaving town, had placed in his care six silver handfed knives, six silver forks, six silver teaspoons, and four silver salt spoons. They were all of the King's pattern, and bore Mr. Arrowsmiths's crest. Besides these articles there were two gold ch a i ns, two gold rings, and a pair of gold ear-rings, On Monday, the 6th instant, he packed all the property he had mentioned in a wooden box, on the outside of which he nailed the card now produced by the constable, and delivered it at the office of Messrs. Pickford, in the City-road, to be conveyed as directed, to Jersey, to Mr. Arrowsmith. The whole of the articles which he had packed in the box were now produced, with the exception of one ring. Charles Franklin, shopman to Mr. Fletcher, a pawnbroker, of York-road, Kennington, stated that on Monday evening, the 6th instant, at about seven o'clock, the prisoner entered his master's shop, and put down on the counter six silver handled knives, six dessert silver forks, six teaspoons, and four salt. spoons, and asked him, witness, to lend hi m 25 shil lings on them. Witness asked him if they were his own, and he replied no, but that he had been sent by a Mr. Hop kins, 16 or 17, Kent-road, to pledge them for money to pay his rent. The witness suspecting all was not right, sent for a constable and gave him intocustody. Mr. HENRY, at the conclusion of the witness's evidence, told him he had acted exceedingly well in the matter. Police-constable James Bevan, said that on the evening before mentioned the prisoner was given into his custody by the last witness. He asked him where he got the property; the prisoner said a man gave them to him in the Kent-road, and asked him to pledge them for him. Witness asked him if he knew the man, and he replied that he merely knew him by sight but not by name, but that he lived at No. 16, Kent road. He then offered to go there to see the man, but the prisoner said it was no use, as he was not to be found there. When about to search the prisoner at the station-house, lie said, " I have got some more here that the same man gave me," and took from his trousers pocket the two gold chains, gold ring, and a pair of gold ear-rings, lie then produced. While conveying the prisoner to this Court on the following morning, he said, "I shall tell the truth about this when I get before the magistrate. I stepped my foot upon the box and broke the lid in. I did not know what to do with the property, so I thought I would make away with it in the best manner I could." On searching the prisoner he (witness) found some letters which he did not particularly examine at the time, but on looking them over subsequently he found in one of them the card produced, which was addressed, " John Arrowsmith, Esq., Belmont-row, St. Heliers, Jersey," and which the witness, Air. Taylor, identified as the card he had placed on the box. George Seymour, clerk to Messrs. Pickford and Co., said he remembered receiving a box addressed to Mr. Arrow smith, at the City-road Basin, on the 6th of October instant, from Mr. Taylor. He sent it immediately to the Castle in 'Wood-street, to be forwarded by the van to the Southampton Railway. • Mr. Bimmonds, clerk at the warehouse of Messrs. Pick ford, in Wood-street, Cheapside, said be remembered re ceiving the box in question and entering it in the way-bill for the Southampton Railway. He alsO saw it put iuio the van, of which the prisoner was the driver, and Trindall the gnard. Thomas Trindall deposed that he loliged in the same house with the prisoner, in Bond-street, Vauxhall, and was also guard to the van which the prisoner drove. On the evening► of Monday, the Gth inst., he left the Catle in Wood street, in the van, and accompanie 1 the prisoner to the Southampton terminus, Nine Elms. Finding he could not unload the waggon at once, he left it for a short time to get a cup of tea, leaving the prisoner 2nd Mr. Atkins, the check ing clerk, with it. He returned in about ten minutes, when he found the prisoner was gone, and on unloading the van he NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. Poirrsmount, WEDNESDAY.—The Vanguard, 80, Captain Willes, came into harbour under canvass this morning, to be re-coppered and otherwise refitted. The *Nautilus, 10, Lieutenant-Commander Macdonald, arrived here last night from the Sussex coast to re-provision and water. The Ardent, steam-sloop, Commander Russell, left this morning for Woolwich, to be paid off. She will require a thorough refit before she can again be commissioned, as her boilers are damaged, and her machinery out of order, so much so as to compel her to sail the greater portion of the voyage from the coast Of Africa. The Cornet, steam-vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Prety man, towed two lumps to Spithead this morning, with appa ratus on board, for the purpose of trying the respective merits of Lieutenant Rodger's anchor against the anchor now in general use in the navy, upon the Admira!ty plan. The Excellent's boats went out to Spithead yesterday, for practice. A target was put up at about three cables' length, and completely riddled. The firing was admirable, princi pally from eighteen-pounder carronades. Commodore Chads superintended the practice in his gig. The practice continued for an hour and a half, and attracted a vast concourse of spectators to the ramparts of Portsmouth. The Wasp, 16, Commander Uzsber, was at Ascension on the 18th of August, as also the Styx steam-sloop, Commander Hornby. All the pilot flags on board the pilot vessels at this port are hoisted half-mast high to-day, in token of respect for the memory of the late Mr. Saunders, pilot, who died on board the Eclair steam-sloop on Saturday last, having caught the fever whilst piloting the Eclair from this port to Standgate Creek. CAPE FixisrFatriF., OCT. 7.—About 190 miles to the S.W. of Cape Finisterre the Swedish brig Favourite, Kohl master, from Torrevecchia for Gottenburg, fell in with the brig Atalanta, Captain Stock, from Saldanha Bay to Cork, laden with guano. The Atalanta had 6 feet water in het hold, fore-topmast yard broken, and deck seams all open, with only five hands capable of working the ship. As the weather was very squally, and a tremendous sea breaking over the Atalanta, the Favourite was obliged to heave to' under her stern, and a rope being passed to her, dragged the men one by one over the taifrail though the sea, and in that manner succeeded in getting the crew on board. They were 16 in numb 9., but one died shortly after from exhaustion. They are all dreadfully afflicted with the scurvy. having been nearly three months from Saldanha Bay. The Favourite ar rived at the Motherbank last evening, and having got pra tique, the crew were immediately landed at Portsmouth in the atavier, the cutter of the Prussian Vice-Consul here, M. Vandcrberg, from whom, and the Messrs. Garret and Gibbon, the agent for Lloyd's, they received the kindest attention. LLO YD'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Ocr. 16.—Wind this day at noon, S.W.

TUFSDAY.—This morning a Charge, preferred by Mr. G. E. Arson, private secretary to Prince Albert, against a job him: gardener, named William Sims, for having it:decently assaulted Mary Ann Truelove, only seven years of age, was heard before Mr. Alderman Bannister and Mr. Blunt. The child stated that she was the daughter of a labouring man named Robert Truelove, of Love-lane, Windsor, aril that yesterday afternoon she was enticed to go into the Long-walk, by the prisoner, with the promise of a halfpenny. When they got to the style, the man took her little broth r in his arms, crossed over into the Long-walk, and went o to the trees, where they sat down together on the grass the side of the ditch. He then put her brother down a-I took witness on his lap, but she did not know what the pri soner did. He made her sit on his lap, and when some one came witness got off. Mr. George Edward Anson then deposed as follows : Yesterday afternoon I was riding up the Long-walk, under the left-hand avenue of trees, and when I got up the hill I came suddenly upon the prisoner, who was sitting behind a tree, with his feet toward the ditch. He had the little grl on his lap with all her clothes up. On seeing me he has.] y threw her off, by which I saw his cloths were disordered. A' •T a short pause, I asked the little girl, "Is that your father ?" The man immediately said, " She is my daughter." I re peated the question, and he again stated that she was is child. I then called the little girl aside, and asked her whr re she lived. She sa id at N o. 2, Love-lace, Winds and AU her name was Truelove. I understood, either tr, m the or the man, that the prisoner's name was Simmonth. I told him that I should give him in charge to a policeman, the poor little girl cried out, "Pray don't tell." After waitiag some little time Lord Liverpool came up en herseback. I told him what had happened, and he immediately sent eff cis groom into Windsor for a policeman. The little girl, who had a ycung child by her side, then began to cry. and s " Pray don't send for a policeman. I'll nrver do it again." After waiting a little time a policeman came, into win)se custody I gave the prisoner. - The prisoner, upon being asked wi-at answer he 1:N? to make to the charge, denied that he pulled the child on its knee, and stated that she went in'o the Lcig-walk or er own accord. In the.course of his defence he accused the virl of having committed an act of gross indecency. The Magistrates, after severely commenting upon the abominable conduct of the prisoner, sentenced him to pay a fine of five pounds, and in default to two months' imprison ment, with hard labour, in the borough gaol The man, not having the money, was fixthwith conveyed to prison. FATAL OCCURRENCE TO A MILL TARY OFFICER. A very considerable and painful excitement has for sae last few days prevailed in the village of Elstree, near ESLs a ware, from the general rumour that Lieutenant-Co'osal Edward James Metcalf, of the Royal Horse Artillery, had been killed in a duel by a brother officer, and that the be , y had been removed to his residence in the dead of the nig t, and that it was the intention of his friends to conceal tie :affair from the public, and to bury the corpse without an in vestigation of the circumstances leading to his death. This r. port was so current that every body believed it, and the affair became so public that it was the general topic of e,:a versation. The parish authorities lost no time in making the necessary inquiries, and succeeded in ascertaining that the report of the unfortunate gentleman having fallen in a duel was without foundation, although he had died from the effects of a pistol-bullet under circumstances of the m ist afflicting nature. Notice was immediately forwarded to the Coroner, and an inquest was held at the Artichoke Isla in - he village, when the following evidence was given in elucidating the melancholy affair William Howard stated that he lived as groom to the late Colonel Metcalf. He occupied the room immediately under that of his master. On Saturday night last, the Ilth in 4., witness saw him go into his apartment for the purpose of dressing to attend a party ; witness heard him go out in about an hour after, and he (witness) then went to bad. In a - short time his master returned, and again went into his room, but did not remain long before he left. Witness want to sleep, and did not hear any more of him during the night. At about seven o'cloCk the next morning, he went into his room, as was his custom, to call the deceased, when, upon entering, he was astonished at finding two candles burning in the sockets of the candlesticks, and his master not in b 3d, nor had the bedclothes been disturbed. Upon looking behind the screen, which divided the room, he discovered the deceased sitting on the sofa, with his head reclining over the side, weltering in blood, which appeared to come from his mouth, although his lips were closed, and he was quite dead. WitneSs made an immediate alarm, and hastened to procare the attendance of a surgeon, who, on arriving, declared the deceased to have been dead some hours. The deceased was undressed, with the exception of his drawers and stockings ; witness afterwards found the pistol, now produced, in his drawers, which were hanging about his legs. The deceased was a widower, and lived by himself. He was about 57 years of age. Captain Robert Maynard stated he was well acquainted with the unfortunate gentleman, who was very highly con nected. Witness saw the remains of his Gallant Friend scan after the last witness gave the alarm. The pistol appeared to have been recently- discharged. On opening the lie s, the whole of the upper jaw was found to be completely shatterad, and the ball had lodged in the back of the head, and was sub sequently extracted. Witness was confident that the de ceased never intended suicide, but that his death was caused someway or other by accident. He was a particularly hiAit spirited man, and the last in the world to commit self murder. In answer to questions, Captain Maynard said he was strengthened in his opinion that it was accidental, from the examination he had mad 3 o the pistol. Upon looking at the ramrod he foutal it was very difficult to remove, from which he believed that the deceased was'about to draw the charge of the pistol, and finding he could not shift the ramrod . with his hand, he had appfted the teeth of his bottom jaw to a small ridge near the top of it, and in so doing the jerk must have caused the pistol to go off, and produced - the dreadful event. The pistol Was closely inspected by the Coroner and jury and The ramrod certainly was difficult to remove. Captaih Maynard further stated that he never saw law thing in the conduct of deceased indicating insanity. He could state that in all his experience he had never ksos n a man more careless of fire-arnis than the deceased. He was continually trying experiments with them. Major Thornton said he was at the party with the de ceased, who was in high spirits. He (deceased) bad been upon a shooting excursion the day previous, and killed some pheasants. By the Jury—There was no gambling introduced daring the evening, by which the 'deceased lest money. Lieutenant Mahon said the piStol which occasioned the calamity was his property. He lent that and another to the deceased a short time ago. Witness thinks his death IS'azt ac cidental, as the unfortunate gentleman was notoriously t arc leßs'Of fire-arms. After much discussion, the jury returned a verdict, •"fhat the deceased was accidently shot." The inquiry lasted three hours, and was attended by nu merous friends and brother officers of the deceased, by whom he was highly respected. IRELAND. REPEAL IN MAYO, CASYLEBAR, SUNDAY EVENING.--Mr. O'Connell lc-ft larney on Thursday morning at eleven. On Sunday morning he arrived at Castlebar, amid the usual cheers and acclama tions of the multitude. The day was exceedingly Iv; t, and yet, although the rain poured down in torrents from l•alf past ten o'clock until four, upwards of 80,000 parsons at tended in the procession, and remained until the meeing was over. The procession commenced to move from a pace called .French-hill (a locality designated by that name in consequence of a defeat in that particular spot. in 1798, of the French forces who landed in Ballina), at about two o'cloCk, and arrived at the place of meeting at four o'clock. The rain still continued to , pour as if the sluices of hea;vetk were opened, in the midst of which the chair was taken at the place of meeting, in Castlebar, by Mark Llake, Esq., 111. P. Various resolutions were proposed and carried, after which, Mr. OVONNELL addressed the meeting. The honourable and Learned Gentleman briefly allud e d to the injustice with which the Irish people were treated, and concluded by avow ing his determination to persevere in his struggles for repeal until the object was accomplished. A petition for a repeal of the union was then ag,reed after which the vast assembly separated. THE I)INNER. A pavilion was erected for the dinner, which was give the same evening; but in consequence of ? the inclemen4 , the weather, the persons who attended might as well hav been called on to dine in the open air. After the Queen's health was proposed. and that of 0 Royal Family, the CHAIRMAN proposed in eloquent term s tl health of" the Liberator of his country"—(Great chee:in atMr. O'CONNELL said if it were an auspicious even' he would endeavour to say something on the topics v , t'e then pressed upon his mind, but he would, notwithstani+, the inclemency of the weather, endeavour to go thr t .o some of them, in order to leave an impression behind Is of what his intentions were, and to show the people .. Mayo how those intentions ought to be worked out. P. • (Mr. O'Connell's object was to secure the cennexion wi the British Crown. He felt that that connexion v, as I !- 4 , 3 , in extreme jeopardy by the wickedness of tie British P. nister, by the rancour of Stanley and the treachery Graham. He believed it was in such a position. that it th , did not shrink from their own intendmeuts, the most e. consequences would happen. It was represented that his ject was to injure and destroy that connexion, to trample under foot. But his struggle was to place it oa such a t 1 )ott, as that the interests of both should& maintained, and eqt., justice done to Ireland, He defied any rational man to '4 •• that the connexion can b e l ong maintained under press . circumstances after his de a th, an d w h en hi s inflcn(e* gone. He had, thank heaven, obtained and possessed such i' fluence over the present generation, or at least that portion them of his own time of life ; but who could answer for t consequences —who could answer for the rising generath when his voice was heard no more among them ? H policy then really was to act as a drag on the revolutiona car ; but after his death, he could not promise that would not run with such a rapidity as to fri g hten the of country and emancipate the other.—(Cheers.) He (Y O'Connell)believed the restoration of thelrish Parliament w absolutely essential to a continuance of the connexion, 1 it was hardly worth having without the protection of domestic Legislature.—(Cheers.) He repeated again that / would submit to it, but he would not preach to the you! people of Ireland to do so; he would give them no oth advice, but when the control was gone, they might net f themselves. Mr. O'Connell then dilated at cnnsiderab length on the powerof the aristocracy, describing her Majes; as destitute of all political power, as domineered over by I oligarchy of which Sir Robert Peel, whom he called Kin Peel, was the instrument. He declared, that after re; ealin the union, his object was to rescue the Crown lion; its d grading inddom, and make it the link of connexion b:twe, the two countries. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman co eluded, by saying that Ireland should be, would Le, at must be. a nation. Mr. O'Connell then proposed the chai man's health. Mr. D. BROWNE returned thanks. The next toast was " the Archbishop of Tuam." Dr. 'WHALE returned thanks in a long speech. Mr. BA nnErr and Dr. GRAY severally returned thanks. " The 'B2 Club,: Lord Ffreneh," " Lords Denman, Coat haM, and CaMpbell," were next given, and at eleven u'elo the assembly broke up.
