She complained of this ill-treatment to the inspector at the station, but, ti:).,11 f ' ' J : • up night. ' The inspector proved that such complaint was made. Mr. TWVFORD, after remarking that the ease seemed more serious against the policeman than the defendant, gave the latter her discharge. Cyprian Dufort, Edward Johnson, and Edward Fuller were placed at the bar, beforo. Mr. Hall, charged with creating a dis turbance In Betts' Chop House, in the Strand, and with assaulting Mr. Dormer, the landlord of the house, and divers others of her Majesty's subjects. The landlord said that the prisoners came into his house on Wed nesday night, about half past-eight, and called for a pot of porter, which he gave them. They afterwards had other liquor, and one of them became so drunk that he refused to give them any more. At that moment, a stranger came in, and while he was waiting for some drink which he ordered, he challenged a person who was there when he came in to fight him. This person, a Mr. Jeffreys, who did not appear that morning, said he did not want to fight, and did his best to avoid a disturbance. The prisoners, however, en. couraged the stranger, and endeavoured to force Mr. Jeffreys into a quarrel. The stranger went away as soon as he had finished what he had to drink, but the prisoners were bent on a fight, and after endeavouring for some time to provoke a quarrel, they made a gratuitous attack on several persons who were there. Mr. Gillingham, who was present, and who had been attacked by Johnson, corroborated the prosecutor's statement, as did the waiter, who had likewise been assaulted. The prisoners denied the truth of the statements made by the prosecutor. SHEFFIELD, SEPT. 24. STOCK EXCHANGE.—The sales are—Eastern Counties, 20—Hull and Selby, 214—Midland (40/.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE MORNING SUN, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1845. Loxp.7 , . , KENDAL AND WINDERMERE. KENDAL, WEDNIISDAY.—The first general meeting of the Pro prietors was held at the Company's offices, in the Market-place, Kendal, yesterday. The meeting was numerously attended. Mr. Ed. Wilson, of Abbot Hall, occupied the chair. Mr. Taos. HsaitisoN, the solicitor, in the absence of the secre- tary, read the report, which appeared to be highly satisfactory. It stated that the Act of Incorporation had been obtained without opposition, and at a cost much below that of other companies. In anticipatation of the advance of iron, a contract had been entered into in the month of January last, for the purchase of all the rails and chairs, at prices 30 per cent. below those of the present day. The engagement with Messrs. Brassey and Co. was also stated to have been made on the most reasonable and satisfactory terms, and there was every prospect that the line would be completed within the estimate. Mr. Errington had re signed his place as engineer, in consequence of a connexion he had formed with the Ulverstone and Milnthorpe Company, and his place had been filled by Mr. John Harris. The Directors had ob• tained possession of about one-third of the line, and the contractors were actively engaged on the works on that portion of the line. The report then went on to congratulate the Proprietors on the fact that a Company was about to be originated for constructing a line from Cockermouth, by way of Keswick and Ambleside, to Windermere, by which the chain of communica'.ion would be completed through the Lake district, to several thriving ports on the west coast, and the coal fields of West Cumberland. With regard to the deviation line, by means of which the terminus would be brought nearer to the town of Kendal, the cost had been corn. puted at the very lowest estimate to be 25,0001., and the Directors felt anxious to put the decision of the question to the Shareholders in a body, rather than take the responsibility of determining upon it themselves. On the motion that the report be read, Mr. NICHOLSON (Cowan Head) congratulated the meeting on the cheering prospect that was before them. The whole of the pre liminary expenses up to the half year did not exceed two per cent. of the capital. It was known, he continued, that the plant of the Lancaster and Carlisle Railway had been let to the Grand Junction, and it was felt desirable that the Windermere should be also let to the same Company. He had been commissioned to see the Chair man of the Grand Junction on the subject, and had been instructed by him to say that the Company were willing to undertake the line. Thus the principle was agreed upon, and the only thing to be fixed was the terms. Mr. John Gandy and Mr. C.lNicholson were appointed Chairman and Deputy-Chairman of the Company. The sum of 4001. was set apart, after some discussion, for the remuneration of the Directors for the ensuing year, those gentle. men, it was stated, having, up to the present time, given their ser vices gratuitously. Mr. G. B. Crewdson and John Steele were appointed auditors, each to receive la, and the accounts to be audited monthly. Mr. Thomas Hudson was appointed secretary, at a salary of 2501. A long conversation took place on the subject of the alteration which was intended to bring the station nearer to Kendal. Mr. NICHOLSON said that the expense, at the ♦ery lowest esti mate, would be 25,0001., and the alteration would cause a delay of a year, while the station would be only a quarter of a mile nearer. He moved that the Parliamentary line be proceeded with. Messrs. J. Whitwell, J. H. Wilson, and W. Whitwell, spoke in favour of the deviation, and felt confident that the increased passenger traffic, and small parcel traffic, would soon repay the outlay. On the putting of the question to a division, there were seven For the Parliamentary line, and six for the deviation. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Sept. 25, (Before Mr. Commissioner EVANS.) IN RE DAVIS. This bankrupt, who carried on business in Jermyn.street, as a dealer in regimental and court dresses, came up to pass his last examination, and was opposed. His debts were very considerable, but the whole of his property had been taken under a levy. The examination this morning was principally confined to the debt of the judgment creditor, a person named Samuels, whose claim was for 1,5531. The insolvent said that he had given Samuels bills to the amount of between 4,0001. and 5,0001., on the latter promising to advance the amount to pay his creditors, and he (insolvent) was to give security to pay 3001. a year and in. terest, but he never had the advance. He had not kept any books to explain the bill transactions, nor had he made out a detailed account as between himself and Samuels. The Learned COMMISSIONER said that it was against reason to expect that the bankrupt should pass on such accounts. The bankrupt had carried on a large trade, and was bound to give a sa tisfactory account to his creditors. Mr. LEWIS, for the bankrupt, said that the creditors were satis fied except the one who opposed. _. _ The COMMISSIONER said that, supposing no one opposed, he should not consider he was doing justice to the public to pass a man and grant a certificate on such accounts, even though he was able to pay 10s. in the pound. The present dispute, however, would only, if favourable, bring in 3701. to the creditors, who, on principle, ougnt not to ask for the bankrupt to pass; the whole claim of 1,5534 might be founded on fraud. The last examination was adjourned till the audit. Mr. LEWIS applied for the bankrupt's protection. The Learned COMMISSIONER .I will grant it for a month, and et us see what he can do to clear up the matter. INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, Sept. 24, IN RE W. HORD. In this case an application was made to appoint assignees under a vesting order made on a creditor's petition. The party bad been in Whitecross street prison since November, when he was arrested on a judge's order. He was related to a noble family, and on the death of his father, Mr. W. Hore, would become entitle/ to co n . siderable property. The abje c t was to raise money to pay.the cre ditors on property situate at Wexford, Ireland. Mr. Nichols supported, and Mr. Dowse opposed, the application to appoint one of the creditors mentioned as assignee. Mr. Commissioner PoLtocx thought the creditors would be paid in fuU, and made an order as prayed. CLERKENTVELL, Walter Chamber?, a well-dressed man, was charged by Mr. John Christopher, the landlord of the Windmill public-house, in Lea. ther-lane, with obtaining from him refreshment under false pre tences. The prosecutor is the keeper of the tap connected with the brewery of Messrs. Reid, and on Wednesday the prisoner, In com pany with three other men, entered his house, and, after stating that they had been sent from the brewery, called for food, beer, brandy, and tobacco. They were served to the amount of ss. 7d., and witness then, having some misgiving of them, went to Messrs. Reid, and ascertained that no authority had been given to the pri soner to obtain the goods in'question ; and when asked for payment he had "no effects." His companions, who were similarly situated, left him in the lurch, and he was handed over to the police. Mr. GREENWOOD said the conduct of the accused had been wicked and disgraceful, but he had no jurisdiction in the matter. It was merely a debt, and he reluctantly discharged him. LAMBRTU. Wednesday the Rev. James West, a clergyman of the Church of England, who had been remanded under the name of " James Fletcher," was brought before Mr. Henry, for final examination, on a charge of illegally pawning goods from his ready-furnished apartments. Mrs. Hannah Croker, a widow, residing in Nunhead.lane, Peckham-rye, deposed, that on the '2d instant the prisoner and his wife came to lodge at her house in a ready.furnished apart ment, and remained there until the 15th. On the last-men tioned day witness, suspecting they were robbing her, asked the prisoner's wife if she had any objection to her going into the oom. Mrs. West consented, but the moment she entered she and her husband ran away. Witness missed a blanket, two sheets, and a counterpane, and in consequence sent after the pri soners, who were hrought back in the custody of a policeman. The blankets, sheets, and counterpane produced were her property, and were of the value of 17s. William Hammond, a police-constable, 90 F, said that on the 15th instant, in the afternoon, he looked acress Peckham.rye, and saw the prisoner and his wife running as fast as they could. He pursued and stopped them, saying " What have you done ?" and the prisoner replied, " We have been stealing some sheets and pledging them, but I didn't mean to run away without paying." He said some money was due to him that night, and he intended to redeem the things when that came. He (witness) found the duplicate for the blanket and the counterpane on the prisoner, and he acknowledged to having sold the duplicates for the sheets Francis Woods, shoprnan to his uncle, a pawnbroker in High street, Peckham, deposed that the sheets, blanket, and counter pane had been pledged with him by the male prisoner. Hammond, the police-constable, said there were a great many tices, but he doubted whether the offences amounted to those of a persons in attendance who were sufferers by the prisoner's vac. criminal nature, Mr. HENRY desired them to be called, when one, A poor hard-working man, said, that the prisoner came to his house and said he wanted a messenger to take a letter to Squire Leicester, at the west end of the town, who owed him money, and who would send some back by the bearer, and ultimately asked for the loan of a shilling. Witness, being a poor man, could ill afford to part with a shilling, but prisoner's language was so good, and his representation so plausible, that he could not refuse him, and gave him the shilling. He went with the letter to Squire Lei. cester's, and was told there was no answer. While he was gone on this message, the prisoner called at his house and succeeded in getting a shilling from his wife. A. gentleman, who was in Court and had been in conversation with the prisoner, here expressed a hope the magistrate would dis pose of the case summarily. Mr. HENRY replied, he could not do so. A great number of poor persons had been made sufferers, and he (Mr. Henry) should send him for trial upon the charge of unlawful pawning. While the depositions were being taken, Mr. HENRY, addressing the gentleman, remarked that, upon his former examination the prisoner had mentioned the names of some distinguished families to whom he said he was nearly related, and asked if he knew any thing about his character or history ? The gentleman replied that he did, and that his representations about his family connexions were perfectly correct. His real name was West, and he was a clergyman of the Established Church. He (the prisoner) was nephew to a nobleman holding the highest appointment in her Majesty's household, was connected by marr iage with many distin guished families, and his father and mother as well as the friends of his wife were persons of large property and the highest respect ability, and he (the gentleman) became acquainted with him by his being professionally engaged to dispose of some property be longing to him while gradnatinit at Brasenose College. While at Oxford, he was picked up by a set of sharpers, and being of a most liberal disposition—indeed, lavishly so—they fleeced him. As a proof of this foolish liberAlity, he would mention the fact that the last 1001. he possessed as the wreck of his property, be had lent to a sporting baronet, though there was scarcely a hope of his getting it er any part of it back. By similar follies in money matters the prisoner had been reduced, no doubt, to considerable want, and his friends, in the hope, probably, of making him feel his folly, had allowed him but the small pittance of 7s. a-week, and not 11. 75., as had been stated; but still he was surprised to find him resort to any act of criminality. In extenua. Lion of his offence he begged to say, that he (the gentleman) had had a communication with Mr. Leicester, th e gent l eman whose name had been mentioned, and he assured hi m h e h a d f orwarded a sovereign by the post, for the prisoner:svinugsep,abwuuteditthheamd, might reached him, Had he received it he would not have been u n d er hthaevenerceedseseimtyeodftphaewmniinngtitmhee to prevent o discovery.r having Mr. HENRY asked if the prisoner had ever done duty as a clergy. man ? The gentleman replied that he had, and said it was only a short time since he was called upon to officiate at the east end of the metropolis, and gave such satisfaction to the congregation, that he might have gone on exceedingly well had it not been for the ex. posure to which his poverty had subjected him. It appeared that at a meeting where several of.the clergyme n of the parishes in the vicinity attended, his (the prisoner's) name happened unfortunately to be mentioned, when one said he had lent him a shirt and cravat to preach in, which he never returned ; another mentioned giving him some money, which he never repaid ; and the exposure altogether was such, that the gentleman who was in the habit of getting him to officiate felt compelled to discontinue doing so. Since his commitment his friends had forwarded him some money; and he had no doubt that, after this, something permanent would be done far him. Mr. HENRY observed he could make no distinction between the case of the prisoner and any other person, and under all the circum stances it might be much better for the prisoner himself that he should be committed, as it would bring his case to a crisis that would lead to something permanent being done far him by his friends. He (Mr. Henry), however, should admit him to bail in two sureties of 40/. each to answer the charge at the sessions. The prisoner was then committed for trial, and the witnesses bound over in the usual way to prosecute. SOUTH W ARK. Wednesday two of the churchwardens, accompanied by the vestry. clerk of St. George's, Southwark, waited on Mr. Cottingham for the purpose of soliciting his advice under the following circum stances. One of the churchwardens stated that for some time past several of the inhabitants of St. Gcorge's parish have received anonymous letters, containing threats against their lives, and that in some in. stances the writer of them had inclosed poison. The communica. tions containing the prison we're addressed to the daughters of a merchant and two other persons, and couched In language most affectionate, to the following effect : "My dear Elizabeth,—l have sent you some powders, which I received as a present from France. You will find them as a drink very delicious, being flavoured with melon, which you will greatly admire, and will do you a great deal of good. I shall call to see you in a day or two." The applicant stated that the powders alluded to were oxalic acid, and that fortunately all the letters containing them had fallen into the hands of the parents of those to whom they were traasmitted through the post. The perpetrator, finding his designs frustrated, then commenced sending more anonymous letters of the most dia bolical and revolting nature, not only threatening to murder the children, but the parents likewise, and in some instances to set fire to their houses. A Mrs. Spriggs, the wife of a respectable shop keeper, living in White-street, has been particularly selected out as a victim by the anonymous slanderers. A letter in reference to her, transmitted by post to Mr. Stead, the parish-clerk, was handed to the magistrate. It was as follows: " Sir,—l should take it as a very great favour if you would say the following few words just before you utter the words ' Let us sing to the praise and glory of God,' which will be about half past seven o'clock on Sunday evening, September 28, 1845,—' It will be considered sacrilege if Mrs. Spriggs enters this or any other church after tonight, as she has attempted the life of her child;' and if you do not say it—and this is no idle threat—as true as there is a Heaven above, I will set fire to the church, and by half past seven next Sunday week, Oct. 5, 1845, the church shall be one mass of smoking ruins; and, mind you, I will attend on pur pose to hear if you do say the words, or at least something to the purpose.—l am, Sir, your very humble and obedient ser v ant , " Sept. 22. Several other letters were placed before Mr. Cottingham, and after perusing them and examining them, he was of opinion, al. though there was a difference in the character of the writing, still that they were all by the same writer. The MAGISTRATE inquired if any steps had been taken to trace out the writer of those letters 7—The churchwarden re p lied, t hat efforts had been use d for that purpose ; that the thing had con tinued for the last few mouths scarcely without intermission ; that manyfamilies residing in the parish had been thrown into a state of considerable alarm owing to the circumstance; and that a reward of CIL had been offered for the discovery of the offender, but as yet without success. An inspector of the H division said that Sir James Graham had been made acquainted with the circumstanece some time since, and that the Commissioners of Police had given Instruc tions to employ some of the detective police for the purpose of discovering the writer of the letters, but that notwithstanding o f a exertions s similar a h r ad t e b n e d e e n n u cy s ed, and for t c h o e ntai ni purpose, ng p s o t i i s l o l they were unsuccess_ ful ; that eves si nce th e po li ce were engag ed in the affair letters had been sent to families in the Borough. The MAWS7RATE then inquAred, as it appeared Mrs Spriggs was one of the persons against whom threats of the most violent nature were made, whether she had any reason for suspecting any person in her husband's employ as the writer of the shocking epistles produced ? _ _ _ RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE SHEFFIELD, ASHTON-UNDER-LYNE, AND MAN CHESTER. This Company held their half-yearly meeting onWednesday at their offices la the Manchester station, at which there was a very nume rous attendance of shareholders. John Parker, Esq., M.P. for Sheffield, Chairman of the Board of Directors, having taken the chair, the Secretary, Mr. John Platford, read the advertisement 92% calling the meeting, and the report of the Directors, which stated 5% that, with the exception of the tunnel, the works on the line had been completed since the last report, and were open to the public since the 14th of July last. That amongst other subjects of con. gratulation, the Directors could refer to none more encouraging than the result of the imperfect experiment cn the prisbable traffic on the line; for, in spite of every interruption of four miles of mountain road, the transit over which was necessarily most tedious, and the total absence of goods traffic from by far the greater - portion of the line, the Proprietors could not but recognise - in the amount of weekly produce the certain indications of - an ample eventual return. The statement of the goods and passenger traffic then followed, by which it appeared that from December, 1843, to June, 1845, the gross sum received by the Company for the transmission of goods and passengers along their - line amounted to over 52,1591.; and that the profit to the Corn - pany on the goods and passengers' traffic, for the half year ending - June, 1845, amounted to 9,1171. The report then went on to - state, that the Board had equal reason to congratulate the Pro - prietors upon the result of their Parliamentary proceedings of last session; for of the seven Bills in the fate of which the Company - were more or less interested, no fewer than five, all of them con - tributing to this line, had received the royal assent. Those Bills - were, the Huddersfield and Manchester Railway and Canal, the Huddersfield and Sheffield Junction, the Great Grimsby Railway, the Great Grimsby Docks, the South Junction and Altrincham. - A sixth, the Sheffield and Lincolnshire, from its unfortunate po - sitien in the London and York group, was barred by lapse of time - from obtaining in the House of Lords that success which its - riority over the rival lines secured it. O ne only, the Barnsley Junction, was unsuccessful, and the Directors had already: taken - steps to repair and improve the disaster. That the Bill for - leasing the line to the Birmingham, Midland, and Manchester - Companies had been withdrawn, in obedience to a vote of the - Shareholders. That shares to the amount of 287,500/. had been created, under the Ashton and Staley-bridge and South Junction - and Altrincham Acts, for the completion of the railway works. - That the Barnsley Junction Company had been amalgamated - with this Company, on the terms of the original understanding, • and scrip for this and other objects, amounting to 1,030,0004, was in the course of being issued. That it was the intention of the Directors to solicit Acts, in the next seuion of Parliament, for several extensions. That a line from Dukinfield and Heyfield was required for the increasing population of that neighbourhood. That the minerals of the Barnsley district would be fully opened by well-considered branches, to be concerted between this Company and the landowners; but, as the proprietors of the Don Naviga tion had just come to the conclusion to form themselves, in conjunction with other interests, into a Canal and Rail way Company, and had given the Directors to understand that a formal invitation to participate therein would be shortly addressed to them, it was obvious that an exact specifica tion of branches would be at present premature, and that the de , signs already entertained might require modification. That inde pendent of the above the Board intended to prosecute with energy the extensions via Barnsley to the eastward, and that arrangements had been all but concluded with a powerful party at Hull, which would not only give access to Goole in a manner at least equal to that hitherto advertised, but place the Company in possession of a far shorter road to the first-mentioned most important sea port of the Humber. That a treaty for the amalgamation of their line with the Sheffield and Lincolnshire and Great Grimsby Companies, involving a further amalgamation with the Great Grimsby Dock Company and the East Lincolnshire Company, had been brought to a successful termination. That it would become the duty of the Directors within a short period to call the Shareholders together for the consideration of the subject, and they would of course 5 ., avail themselves of the occasion to state the result of the negotia tions now pending, and to make a final settlement of the branches. In the meantime they had only to repeat their trot conviction that the possession of friendly and independent outlets if possible from sea to Sea, was as essential as ever to their -- prosperity. With the South Junction already in their hands, and with access to the German Sea already within their reach, there must arise In the public mind an increased confidence in the - stability of their affairs. And that so convinced were they of the - policy of amalgamation on fair and equitable terms, and upon a • basis of interest common to the three companies, that they had not • the smallest hesitation in recommending it for the adoptiors of the • Shareholders. ▪ The Engineer's report was next read, from which it appears that • by the report of that officer, made in March last, he expressed his • conviction that the completion of the tunnel was likely to take ' place in the following July; but he regretted to say that his anti cipations had not been realised ; that the difficulty of obtaining men and keeping them at their work in such a situation as the tunnel, was stated by the contractors to be ;the reason why their proceedings had not Leen so vigorous as they had hoped; but he was convinced that no exertions had been spared in order to push on the work, though great inducements had been held out to the men ; but still, in such a work of unparalleled magnitude, it would be quite impossible to speak with any degree of certainty 3% as to the time of completion. The total length of excavation yet - remaining to be removed was 80 lineal yards, and about 230 yards - to be lined with masonry. From the progress hitherto made with the work, he was inclined to believe that this would be completed in about eight weeks; after which about 800 yards of ballasting - would remain to be laid, which would be finished in about a month, - and that therefore the whole would be completed by the end of the year. He concluded by stating that the work had been exceed - ingly well and substantially executed, but regretted that the an fortunate accident which happened to one of the viaducts on the . Ashton branch, as well as the difficulty of obtaining the land, had • prevented its being completed; but every arrangement had since • been made, and the viaduct had been rebuilt. A generafabstract of the receipts and expenditure of the Com pany since its formation in 1836 to June, 1845, was laid upon the table, and by the statements it contained it appeared that the amount of the sum received for deposit was 430,695/., that the 4% sum received for re-issued shares amounted to 133,310/. 19s. Bd., 3 the loan account to 446,6711., the traffic receipts to 86,6901., and - the gross account, including minor items, to 1,313,225/. On the debit side of the account there appeared an item for law charges to - the amount of 1,195,701/., stock 54,230/., traffic department, - 34,5811, to the Manchester and Birmingham Company, including - tolls, &c., 21,3111.; and leaving a balance to the credit of the Company, to the amount of 45,398/. The CHAIRMAN addressed the meeting at very great length, upon _ the general state of the affairs of the Company, and dwelt upon the - fact of their having obtained last session five Bills out of seven, as a - most important and cheering feature in their favour. He went over in review, and with great minuteness, the position and peculiarities of each of the Company's proposed branch's. He said he conceived _ that the Directors were warranted in opening to the public as _ much of the line as had been completed, even though it was not - expected to pay. He was aware that their arrrangements for the - conveyance of passengers along the line were very incomplete, and often gave rise to complaints; but he had reason to believe their subsequent arrangements had been found more satisfactory. He admitted that laying the account of the receipts and expendi • ture before the Company as it appeared to-day was rather a clumsy • mode of doing it, but they could adopt no other course while the entire line was open. With regard to the Lincolnshire line, he had every hope, from the favour their other project had met with, that it would pass next session ; for it would only require to be reproduced in tie House of Lords, having passed the Commons. With regard to their je 'action with the Great. Grimsby Com pany, he had no doubt but that at their nex tmeeting he would be enabled to congratulate them upon that matter having been brought to a satisfactory conclusion. The only terms upon which the Liverpool and Great Grimsby people would join them, were what they called terms of perfect equality, but these terms would be found fair and reasonable. when they came to consider the expense of their line as compared to the cheapness of the other. The East Lincoln Company was as yet only a project, to be brought before Parliament next year; but they too could, if they chose, join this Cumpany. The meeting would not to.day be called upon to come to a vote upon the pro posed terms of amalgamation, but they would be read, and the Shareholders would be afforded sufficient time to consider them fully. With respect to the River Don Company, he had their permission to say that they would in a very short time state the terms in which they would • ask the aid of this Company. The Barnsley Junction line, he trusted, would be prsevered in, for it was lost last year, not on its merits, but on a point of form. Mr. Hudson said, at elate meeting, that the line was a most important one, and if no company could be got to snake it, he would. He concluded by moving the adoption of the report. A short discussion followed, on some matters of figures, after which the report was adopted, and the usual votes of thanks having been passed, the meeting separated at four o'clock, having sat three hours. 6% 7656 d The following are the resolutions to which the Chairman alluded in his speech as these which would be proposed or read, containing the terms on which the amalgamation was to take place. Fi rst, that the Sheffield and Manchester, Great Grimsby and Sheffield,and the Sheffield and Lincolnshire Companies, be amalgamated. Secondly, that presuming it to be the intention of the Great Grimsby Dock Company to amalgamate with the Great Grimsby and the Sheffield Railway Company, it is proposed to include the Dock Company in the amalgamation. Thirdly, that the parties present recommend that the East Lincolnshire Company be also subsequently included in the amalgamation, if that company should obtain their Act in the next cession, and coincide in such measure. Fourthly, that the amalgamation company be taken at par, and all liabilities be paid in full. Fifth, that in lieu of dividend, interest at the rate of four per cent. be allowed upon the capital to the Shareholders of the different companies amalgamating with the Sheffield and Manchester Company, upon the amounts paid up by them, until the opening of the Great Grimsby and Sheffield and Sheffield and Lincolnshire lines through out. Sixth, that during the payment of the 51. per cent., the in tee th ome e arising from the p art i al opening of each of the lines be placed Great Gcrredimsit byofancdapSihtaeltieldB v e e n n d t h s , h t e h tn a t e I n d n t a i d the n o c p e e i n e e o of n t e h s e the income arising from the Sheffield and Manchester line be divided amongst the Proprietors of that Company. Eighth, that the capital of the Leeds and Wakefield and Pontefract and Goole Companies for the purchase of the land for the b ran Banter and Caistor, and f or s h ortening the line toß c a h r es n to and Welby, belong only to th e P ropr i etors of the Great Griin sl sb ey Y and Sheffield Company, and that all f uture i ssue of stocks by any of the amalgamating Companies be appropr i ated to the Share. holders of the amalgamated Companies pro rata. Ninth, that until the Act for amalgamation be obtained, each Company con duct its own affairs, and that after the amalgamation the Directors POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HO USE. The Lord Mayor received, on Wednesday, the following letter from Mr. Reele, of theExcisc-office in Broad-street, relative to the person who was committed as a rogue and vagabond on Tuesday, for having fraudulently obtained alms of the Rev. Michael Gibbs, Vicar of Christ Church :-- " May it please your Lordship,—A case is reported in the Times of this morning relative to one George Stratford, calling himself the legitimate sea of the present Earl of Aldborough. " I beg leave most respectfully to state to your Lordship, that I have had some dealings with the above person calling himself George Stratford. Some years since he was introduced to my no tice by a highly respectable family residing in the north of Ireland. The fellow had found out the friends and connexions of the pre sent and rightful Countess of Aldborough, whom I have had the honour of knowing for twenty years and upwards. On telling his tale, he passed hinltlf off as the son of the Earl of Aldborough, and stated that he had been discarded by his father, and after wandering about in Belgium for some time, he had shortly befcre arrived in England, for the purpose of finding employment. " Upon his representation, and knowing a little of the reputed father's history, I then clothed him, raised a subscription, and lastly procured a situation in the London Docks for him; but his habits of idleness and lying had become so notorious, that I lost all sight of the fellow for two or three years, until a few months back, when he entered my office and informed me of the Earl of Aldho rough's decease at Carlsbad. He then named the executors, who were residing in Dublin, and told me that he was left 501. per annum by his father, finally requesting the loan of a sovereign, as he was about to leave London by the packet that day for Antwerp, toy oin his family. " Having before made up my mind that the fellow was nothing short of a thorough rogue and vagabond, subsisting by his plausible tales upon the charitably disposed in London, I desired him to leave my office, and I then addressed letters to the Countess of Aldbo rough and others living in Dublin, stating the information I had that day received, and by return of post their answers exposed the lying device, and showed that the whole of his story from begin ning to end was false ; and the present Earl of Aldborough, to the best of my information and belief, is now alive and residing at Flo rence.—l have the honour to remain, your Lordship's most obe dient servant, " G. REELE. " Broad.street, City, Sept. 24." Mr. Thomas Buckland and Mr. Thomas Windle, two gentlemen who, in the neighbourhood of the Stock Exchange, after the closing of the inner market, had addressed each other in irritating lan gua;e, and from words proceeded to blows, were brought before the Lord Mayor by a policeman, charged with having obstructed the pavement. City policeman George White (24), an active officer stationed in the vicinity of Capel-court, on account of the frequent obstructions caused by the dealings between jobbers and " stags" and " ducks," and other "such small deer," observing that there was rather an extraordinary bustle about Cspel-court, went up to the spot and saw the two gentlemen fighting. Mr. Buckland was bleeding upon the ground, although neither of the combatants appeared to have any other arms than those with which nature had provided them, and the affair occasioned very great impediment to the public. The defendants said that there had been a misunderstanding between them of a private nature, and that their differences had been completely accommodated, The LORD MAYOR observed, that the private misunderstandings of gentlemen must nat be allowed to interfere with the conve nience of the public, and fined each of then 20s. Mr. George Wetenhall, the printer of " Wetenhall's Stock and Sharebrokers' List," was charged with having spat several times in the face and upon the hat and clothes of Mr. F. R. Street, li. brarian to the Stock Exchange. Mr. Street stated, that he was librarian to the Stock Exchange, and that on Saturday last Mr. Wetenhall committed the disgusting assault of spitting upon him seven or eight times. The offence was perpotrated in Leadenhall.street, at a little after two o'clock, but how to account for it witness could not at all conjecture. Mr. Wetenhall at the same time called witness a d—d stuttering scoundrel. Policeman 515 said that he heard an altercation between the gentlemen, and he saw that ,Mr. Street's (the complainant's) face and hat had been spat upon ; he did not see any person spit upon Mr. Street, but he heard Mr. Wetenhall call him a d—d scamp, or scoundrel. The Loan MAYOR—Did you hear Mr. Street complain of having been spat upon ? Policeman—l did. The Loan MAYOR—Did you hear Mr. Wetenhall deny that he had spat upon him ? Policeman-_I did not. The LORD MAYOR—And you heard Mr. Wetenhall call him a scamp when he complained ? Policeman—l did. Mr. Wetenhall, who exhibited much impatience during this brief statement of the occurrence, declared that he had never since the day of his birth, which took place sixty years ago, done such a thing, or contemplated such a thing, as he had been accused of. But the fact was, that the complainant, who called himself libra rian to the Stock Exchange, was what was called a " stag," nothing but a " stag."—(Laughter.) Now he (defendant) was publisher of the fiat calved " Wetenhall's List," and be certainly had received provocation to use rough language, and to denounce that see T n h a e nd Lo h l ea n r d m m ty o u re ._ th l a t n is t i h n e e o v tli id c e e n r e k e n , e w . the " stag." T here were gentlemen present at the time who had instead of denying that you had spat upon the complainant when you were accused of hav ing done so, you called him by an opprobrious name. Mr. Wetenhall—My Lord, the officer did not come up at the commencement. The Loan SI/Nom—No, he did not see you spit upon the com plainant, but he heard you aggravate the offence by using abusive language, instead of indignantly declaring that you had never done anything of the kind. Mr. Wetenhall—l now deny that I spat upon him. The LORD MAYOR—I have no doubt upon the subject after what I have heard, and I fine you 10s. Mr. Wetenhall—l thank you, my Lord. BOW-STREET. Wednesday a respectable-looking woman, named Sturdy, Teal& ng at 14, Crown-street, was charged with assaulting constable 102 F. The constable deposed that, at about 11 o'clock, the defendant, and two other persons, were standing on the foot-way in Crown.. street, engaged in conversation, in consequence of which he re quested them to move on. They refused, and witness was pro ceeding to compel them, when the assault took place. The defendant, whose statements were corroborated on oath by her daughter and another young woman, who were the parties Present, said that she was merely talking to her daughter and the other witness, opposite her own door, and without causing any obstruction, when the constable came up and ordered them off, and almost immediately afterwards pushed her (the defendant) The inspector said that inquiries of that nature had been already made of that lady, and it was found that no such suspicion was entertained against any member of her household. Mr. Cormionsfe, addressing the churchwardens, said that in answer to their application every exertion should be used for the purpose of detecting and bringing to justice the miscreant. He would not be satisfied with a policeman merely watching for a few hours in the day about a particular post-office where the letters were posted, in order to discover the writer, but he should give directions that the most rigid inquiry should be instituted, and that instead of employing one policeman, three at least should be engaged in the discovery of this offender of the worst description. The answer to inquiry after the Earl of Verulam, in Grosvernor-square, on Wednesday, was that his Lordship was de clared out of danger. Earl and Countess Craven are staying at Gor hanabury, on a Ytiit to the earl and countesa. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. o'clock consternation, o n alarm warning o t this housetown a i being :VE .1.4)6 TWO LIVES . sn SEPT.g on 4 fire . n o n t S b u u n wo On arriving on the s p ot we found the . t h greatest t i o Horse and Groom public-house in a bl aze; th e landlord (J. Keats), o his wife, and five children had escap e d i n th e i r night clothes, as thrown 2 the had Mr. Jones, firework-manufacturer, and his wife and son. Two others of Keats' children, a girl, aged 13 years, and a boy, 8 years, were still in their bed-room on the second floor. The fire corn. menced in Jones's room, on the first floor. On awakening he states that he found the bed-curtains on fire; he got up, and as sisted his wife out of the room, then all in flames, giving an alarm to the rest of the inmates, some of whom escaped down stairs, the others out of the back bed- room window. On going to bed Jones says he lel a rushlight burning on the table, the window slightly open, the wind was then to the westward, it changed to the north in the night, which it is supposed blowed the curtain against the light. Jones had, it appears, twelve skyrockets, a race of blue lights, and a box of Roman candles in his bed room, which exploded soon after he left it. There was a quarter of an hour's delay before the first engine was brought into play on the flames, and soon after the second ar rived lines were formed to the different pumps and wells in the neighbourhood by about 200 men, and it was quite wonderful to see the quantity of buckets they were supplied with, seeing there were but twelve belonging to the two engines. Assistance and water flowed from a'l quarters, and the fire was confined to the house it commenced in, with the exception of the roof of the ad joining one being damaged by the fla nes running under it In many instances here there is not a party.wall to the ridge in half a dozen houses. All attempts to save the unfortunates on the second floor were useless in :he house, the staircases being the first parts devoured by the raging element, and no ladder could be found long enough to reach the windows of the room for a long time. When one was obtained, and an entry made, Sarah was found near the window, the upper sash of which she had partly pulled down, but being overcome by the smoke, died from suffocation. Richard was afterwards found wrapped up in a blanket, under the bed, where he had crawled, but, like his sister, died from suffo cation. The dreadful deaths of these two unfortunate young people has caused a great sensation, and will, we have no doubt, cause considerab!e additions to be made to the equipment of the fire es tablishment, as too much has always been left to the known daring of the seamen of the port; they have always got everi , fire under before it extended beyond the premises on which it broke out, and often saved even them; the tires have been attacked and mas. tered before they have got any very great hold, nor till now has there been a life lost. Jones had thirty-two sovereigns and some silver in his box ; the box was burnt, but the money recovered. Keats had, in some drawers in his room, which joined Jones's, 300/. in notes, and some deeds : although the fronts of the drawers were burnt nearly through, the notes and writings were not injured. His furniture was not insured; the house, which• belongs to Mr. Eames, was, in the Norwich Union—but, some say, the fireworks being in it will vitiate the insurance. They did not cause the fire; they were not placed there by Mr. Eames, nor by his tenant, but by a lodger. Public.houses pay a higher rate of insurance for extra risk; but, if they are to be damaged, and not be able to recover their insurance, in consequence of something a casual guest may have in his box, they are placed in rather au awkward situation. The house was surrounded by extensive stabling, all wooden buildings. Had the fire extended to them, they would, in all pro bability, have carried the fire to numerous other buildings, and half the town might have been destroyed.

On Tuesday evening, about half-past six o'clock, a waterman and lighterman, named David William Miller, of Jacob-street, Dock ' head, was standing on the upper side of the pier-head, at the entrance of the St. Katharine Docks, for orders relating to a barge he had just brought into the lock, when a tall, portly gentleman passed him in a hurried manner, walked to the edge of the jetty, and after striking himself violently on the breast plunged into the river. Miller immediately raised an alarm, and called upon the dockmen on the pier-head for a boat-hook. A long staff was immediately lowered, and the gentleman, who had twice sunk, was hooked by his clothes, and kept aloat until Miller reached him in a ship's boat, when he attempted to drag him into it. In doing so Miller discovered something projecting from his left side, and called out "he has a knife in his body," at the same time pulling from it a dagger with which he had stabbed himself before he precipitated himself into the water. The blood forthwith oozed from the wound, and Miller called for more aid, which was imme diately rendered, and the gentleman was laid in the bottom of the boat. He had no sooner recovered himself than he attempted to seize the dagger which Miller had thrown aside. The Waterman defeated his intentions by placing his foot on the weapon, and called upon the other men in the boat to keep the gentleman down, and prevent him doing any further mischief. He was properly secured, and the boat was rowed to St. Katharine's Stairs, where Mr. James Evans, the superintendent of the Thames Police, and his boat's crew, were about to embark in a police galley. They took charge of the wounded man, and conveyed him to the Duke of Marlborough public-house, close by, where no time was lost in calling in medical assistance, and after his wound had been dressed he was conveyed to the Thames police-station in Wapping, where he was divested of his wet clothing, and a dry suit procured for him. While he was dressing Mr. Evans searched his pockets, and found in one of them his passport, and in another a handsome silver-mounted dagger case, with the initial " " engraved upon a silver plate. The wounded gentleman on recovering temporarily from the loss of blood, made several attempts to possess himself of the dagger, and was with difficulty prevented from stabbing himself again. The unfortunate gentleman, whose name is Francois Gavoisier, and who is a colonel in the French army, is 62 years of age. He is said to have served with distinction during the wars of the em pire. He would have been taken before Mr. Ballantine, but was to ill to be moved. The wife and daughter of the unfortunate gentleman soon afterwards drove up to the door of the police.court in a cab, and on being informed that he was in the London Hos pital, they proceeded to that place, and were permitted to see him. The interview was of a most affecting description. A strict watch is kept upon Colonel Gavoisier, to prevent his repeating the at tempt on his life. WHOLESA 1 , 4 ROBBERY ON It AI LW A I'S. The lato apprehension of Maynard, the negotiator for the re storatioa of stolen property, and that more recently of Garratt as his accomplice, has been the means of bringing to light a whole. sale system of plunder. There is not a railway terminus in or about London but what has been plundered to a very large extent, and the detection of the robbers until lately has defied the most skilful ingenuity of the several railway officers. On the capture, however, of Maynard, suspicion fell on Garratt, as being a prin. cipal party in perfecting those wholesale depredations. He was accordingly strictly watched for near five weeks, during which time he had as many residences at different parts of the town, never staying at one place more than four or five days. On his being apprehended, in North.street, Lisson-grove, after a deter mined resistance, an immense quantity of property, principally wearing apparel, was discovered in portmanteaus, carpetbags, boxes, &c., with various railway labels pasted upon them, and the in ference was that the property formed the remains of a host of robberies on the numerous metropolitan lines. The whole of the railways running into London being interested in the discovery, their officers were promptly ordered to communicate with Mr. Nash and Mr. Callard, of the Great Western Railway Company, and up to Wednesday, no fewer than eight distinct and large robberies on several lines were satisfactorily established. They comprise the stolen lug. gage of Price Lewis, Esq., on the London and Birming ham Railway; of Mr. Jones, on the same line; of Mr. Winter, on the same line; a large quantity of valuable papers belonging to a gentleman, and on this line also; and a quantity of luggage the property of a Mr. Keep. On the Great Western, the property of Mr. Prance, and the luggage of another passenger whose name at present is not known ; the luggage of Mr. Babington stolen on the South-Eastern Railway, and that of another passenger on the South - Western. The above-mentioned railway companies, it is understood, for the full protection of the public, come forward to prosecute. By far the greater portion of the property, however, has not been identified, and in order that it may be, the following, amongst the mass, are most likely to be recognised :—Blue cloak, lined, marked "E.

M. in a case, pincushion, pearl and gold studs, mould of a head sunk in light brown stone, small spurs, glass salve.box, with a silver lid, japanned black leather shaving tackle, cut open, tobacco stopper, stag's head, microscope ; of the many things in the hands of Mr. Collard, perhaps these may be mere promptly Identified. It is almost clearly ascertained that these robberies could not have been effected had they not had some confederates in the service of the railways. That the gang is very numerous is well understood; and that they have plundered the respective railway companies to an immilse extent.

The . inmates, consisting, of several persons, b e 'ng in their beds at the time, it was apprehended that sums of themwould have fallen victims to the fire. They having, however, been ar,xised, the whole of them wade their escape out of a window upon the sreall pent-house over the shop, where they were forced to remain for some tnne, until police-constable 23G N could procure a ladder. That hav ing at length been accomplished, the residents, one and all, effected a safe retreat. The ilretnen set to work, and soon got the fire out but not before the whole of the valuable stock in trade was nearly consumed. The origin of the fire could not be learned. The smoke was at one period of such an overpowering nature that it entered the adjoining house and suffocated some fancy birds. The sufferer is insured in the Ph.uix of HE WAS LOCKED TJP.—Who was locked up ? What was the culprit's sin against society ? What iniquity had he— ' a poor sickly boy, about fifteen years of age"—committed that the awful Mr. Combe, sitting in his magisterial chair at Clerkenwell, should punish Use prisoner (who had not 2s. Gd. to pay a fine) with hard captivity? " What." asks the moralist, " was his evil-doing ?" Listen, and sigh over the wickedness of humanity. The . " sickly boy" had obstructed " the foot-path and carriage-way in Chapel street, St. Pancras, with his basket offruit for sale !" The audacious malefactor, " with tears in his eyes, said he had no other way to live ;" and the offending, destitute wretch, was therefore—locked up !—Padell. DECIDEDLY CRACKED.—A morning paper talks of the ships of the experimental squadron as being crack vessels." So many holes having been picked in them since their powers of sailing have been tested, that we are afraid they deserve the compliment rather too literally.

LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY:The following reply has been made by the Earl of Aberdeen to an application for redress from the owner of the Sultana, which was refused admission into Buenos Ayres on account of her having touched at Monte ♦ideo, and lately returned to this port with her outward cargo:— " Foreign-office, Sept. 22, 1845. " Sir,---I am directed by the Earl of Aberdeen to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 15th init., in which you complain of the loss you have sustained by your vessel, the Sultana, having been refused entry at Buenos Ayres on the 9th of March last, on account of an alleged infraction of a decree of the Buenos Ayrean Government of the 13th of February, prohibiting entry at that port, after the Ist of March, to any neutral vessel that should have called or touched at Monte Video. " I am to state to you in reply, that although every state has, strictly speaking, a right to interdict communications between its own territories and those of another state, nevertheless as the treaty of 1825 between Great B►itain and Buenos Ayres contains an express stipulation for the freedom of commerce between the two countries, it appears to her Majesty's Government that it was contrary to the spirit of the treaty to exclude the Sultana, a Bri. tish vessel, from the ports of the republic, merely because she had touched at Monte Video, in contravention of a decree of the Go vernment of Buenos Ayres, which was not issued until after the Sultana had sailed from England, and was not known to the master of the Sultana at the time when he is alleged to have infringed its provisions.

The letter concludes with the following announcement :—" What fur ther proceedings it may be incumbent on the Commissioners to take in this matter, after a perusal of the evidence now for the first time before them in any official shape, they will proceed to con sider."
