THE FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR OXFORD. OXFORD, TUESDAY EVENING.—The inquiry into the circumstances attending the late fatal catastrophe on the London and North-Western Railway, near this city, was resumed at half-past ten o'clock this morning, by ad journment from Thursday last. Mr. F. P. Thompson, solicitor, appeared for Joseph Kinch, the guard of the 5.30 passenger train from Oxford. The Coroner—We shall require evidence as to the cause of the delay of the coal train. It has been given in evidence that the coal train arrived 20 minutes too late at Bletchley. Mr. Blott—The time occupied by the coal train in passing between Islip and Oxford was as follows :—Dec. 17th, 23 min.; 18th, 27 min.; 20th, 20 rain.; 21st, 20 rain.; 22d, 25 mm.; 23d, 25 rain.; 27th, 25 min.; 30th, 24 min.; 31st, 19 rain.; January Ist, 20 min. The average of the whole is 23 minutes. I wish to explain part of my previous evidence. After I got up to the scene of the collision I returned to Ox lord, and took a fly to procure medical assistance. In the meanwhile, I sent my own clerk, Robinson, on with a red light to the Oxford-road, to stop the down train, and then I followed him myself to the Oxford-road. John Lee, driver of the coal train, recalled : I brought the coal train from Bletchley on Monday week. I can not exactly say what was the cause of the delay in start ing from Bletchley. I have a printed time-bill for the coal train. It was light when we started from Bletchley. Our orderr4 are to light the lamps at sunset. They were all lighted at Bicester. My own lights on the engine were lighted. Mine were a green light in front, and on the side of the tender a white light showing a red light behind. They were lighted at Bicester. I cannot speak as to the break lights. I got off my engine at the Oxford-road station.. I saw the side lights on the tender of the first engine and my own lights. I cannot Ay that I saw the lights on the break. I did not go in front of the first engine, and cannot say what lights it, had. Watts was the breaksman. When I saw the break. - first after the accident there were no lights upon it. I saw a coloured blue light on the left-hand side of the break as the train was passing between the Wol vercot-tunnel and the spot where the accident oc curred. lam quite certain it was not a policeman's light, but the light on the break. The guard has a hand lamp, but it was not that that I saw, because it would hay , s been4ither a white, a red, or a green light, and the light that I saw was a blue one. A sudden collision will put out the lights. When we started from Bletch lcor we had three engines. There is a very steep incline i;owards Winslow, and we generally have an extra en gine there. I was well acquainted with John Tarry, the engine -driver. His home is at Bletchley. I live at Bletchley also, and have done so for a twelvemonth. I never satv Tarry " fresh." I have never known him to be reported for any irregularity. Richard Brooks was next called—l am employed as a supernumerary policeman on the Great Western Rail way, and have been in the employ of that company for two years. On Monday week I was stationed at the level crossing near Sheriff's-bridge, where the two rail ways are close to each other. My duty was to keep people off the line. I was sitting in my box when the 5.30 p.m. train on the London and North-Western Railway started out of the station. I heard the beat of the engine, and thus knew that it had started. I was looking towards Wolvercot at the time, but as the train approached, as I thought, very fast, I got up, and came out of my box to look at it. I saw it coming very fast. The engine was beating very hard at the time. After the train bad passed, on Agghang up the North-Western line, I saw the coal train ing in the opposite direction from Wolvercot. I smv th; light from the fire-box, but did not observe any lamps in — front of the engine. I heard a whistle directly after from the coal train. I heard none from the passenger train. I was stationed about a quarter of a mile from where the collision took place. I saw only the light from one engine. I ran to the spot the momentaithe accident happened. I walked up our line as far as the coal train reached, to see that our rails were clear. The lamps on the break van were burning properly at that time. There was no green lamp on the buffer of the first coal train engine, or I should have seen it earlier than I did, and held up my lamp to stop the passenger train. I could have seen a buffer light a quarter of a mile on the Wolvercot side of the bridge. I saw the ballast engine come into the Ox ford Station. I have been stationed at the Sheriff's- bridge crossipg every ;light for the last three months, am(' have seen the 5.30 p.m. train leave Oxford, and the coal train come in on the London and North-Wes tern Railway. The 5.30 p.m. train has been very regular. The coal train has not been so regular ; sometimes it came in before the 5.30 p.m. went out, and sometimes after it. If I had shown a red light I believe the London and North-Western servants would have paid attention to my danger signal, because I should have gone on to their line to exhibit it. William Harvey, policeman in the service of the London and North-Western Railway, called—My sta tion is between the platform shed and the swing bridge. I can see a train leave the station, and until it gets forty yards beyond the bridge when it is hidden by a curve and the engine shed. I can see the trains when they stop at the ticket platform. Every train cominr , into Oxford must come to the ticket platform. On the night of the accident I saw the ballast engines come in about half-past five. It came on the down line, and passed over the bridge towards the engine-house. I ara sure it was not the coal train. This was before Hayes came to my box. Pargeter, the porter, was the first to come to me. He asked me whether the coal train was in. I said no. He went on towards the ticket platform, end presently returned towards the station. I was aware that the 5.30 p.m. train had not started at this time. I have a red signal lamp to use in case of danger. I had that lamp with me on Monday night trimmed and lighted. lam aware that since the' traffic was worked on the single line only it has been usual to detain the 5.30 p.m. train until after the coal train had arrived. I have no instructions from the office clerks as to the starting of trains from Islip or Oxford road. The only means I have of knowing of the arrival, 'of the coal train is at the ticket platform—if it does not cross the points, the up line is clear for traffic ; and be tween the end of the ticket platform and Islip there is only one light. I saw the 5.30 p.m. train start on this evening. I knew the coal train had not arrived. I was not aware there was any danger, because I did not know that the coal train had left Islip. I showed my red light, but only because the red light was up at the bridge. I do the same to every train that passes while the red light is on the bridge. I have been on duty where I now am seven months. I never before knew a train start when the red light was shown at the bridge. It is some times up when they want to start, but the driver whistles before starting, and if the line is clear the green light is turned on, an would remain until the train had passed the bridge. The first time I saw Hayes was after the train had passed me. He told me to turn on the red light, and stop the train if I possibly could. The train was going much faster than usual—faster than I ever saw a train leave the platform before. My precise duty is to attend to the points near where I am stationed, and to see that all is right between the bridge and the sta tion. I went to the scene of the accident directly after it had occurred. Francis Cooper was next called—l am in the employ of Mr. Ayton, contractor for the permanent way on the London and North-Western Railway. On the evening of the accident, between five and six o'clock, I was walking between Heyfields Hut and the Port Meadow Bridge. Just, as I got to the bottom of the lane, near Rackham's Corner, I heard a train coming out of the st a tion. I heard it coming over the iron bridge. It was coming at a goodish rate, and appeared to increase in speed. I caught a glance of the lights on the train through the trees as it passed. I turned my head to look after it, and then I saw the coal train coming in an opposite direction. It had a green light in front of the buffer. I stood on the foot road when I saw this, and could see up the railway some distance beyond the bridge. I believe the coal train was 100 yards on the Wolverekt side of the bridge when I first saw the green light. There was a white light on the side of the tender. Ido not remember seeing any light to a second engine. It was too dark for me to see whethe r there were two engines. Mr. Smith, foreman to the engines at Oxford, requested me to come and give thifi evidence on Saturday last. He asked me if I saw th e coal train, and whether I saw the lights. I told him what I have told you now. He did not tell me that be had been examined here as a witness himself. The Coroner indicated a doubt as to the credibility of the witn ess. Air. Hester protested against the imputation thrown out. The Coroner (warmly)—As judge of ,this Court I have a right to express an opinion, and I tell you can didly I do not believe him.—(Sensation). A juror (Mr. Washer)—No more do I. The Foreman did not see why the evidence of the witness was to be doubted. He thought he had given his evidence as truthfully as any other who had been called, and he considered it only justice to say as much. George Bates was next called—He was a policeman in the service of the London and North-Western Rail way. Was on duty at the Oxford road Station on Mon day, the 3d of January. The coal train arrived at 5.15 p.m., and left four trucks of coal. It remained from five to seven minutes at the Oxford-road Station. After it had left, I was going into my hut to tele graph to Oxford that_ the coal train had left, when I met Triy mate, who informed me that he had already done so. There was a green light on the buffer plank of the first engine when the train arrived, and also when it left. This was an addition to white lights on the ten der. The break had three lights on behind. , If the lights had not been there, I should have given notice of the fact. It would have been my duty to do so. At this point an adjournment took place for a couple of hours. On the re-assembling of the jury, Joseph Kinch, the guard of the 5.30 passenger tram from Oxford, was examined—l am a guard in the employ of the Lo n d on an d N or th-Western Railway. I was guard of the 5.30 Oxford train that left Oxford on Mon day week. It is my duty to give directions for the starting of the train. The train did not start at 5.33. It did not start in consequence of the coal train which had left Islip not having arrived. Mr. Blott, the station master, came to me on the station, and told me the coal train had left Islip nearly half an hour. Re said we could not go till the coal train arrived. ne then went into his office without saying anything more. I did not see Mr. Blott again before the train started. Mr. Blott dd not, to the best of my recollectioe, say that if the coal train was sighted, I might go on. In the course of two or three minutes after I saw Mr. Blott. I went to the driver, Tarry, and told him that Mr. Blott had informed me the-coal train had left Islip nearly half an hour, and thzt we could nob go till it came in. I had hold of the hand rails of- ti e engine, and stood on the step of the platform at the time I was talking to Tarry. I did not get on the engine at all. This was after Hayes had looked at the tickets. I then walked down the platform towards the break. I was not speaking to Tarry more than a minute. I looked back towards the swing bridge signal as I went aft to my break. I looked to see if the signal was turned off. The red signal was on at the bridge. It is my duty not to start a train while that red signal is shown. I again went to Tarry at the engine, but did not get on it, and asked him for its tickets, which I am in the habit of making out for him, as he is no scholar. The tickets are of arrival and departure, and he said he would give them to me in the morning, and as I got off the steps I said, "All right." He quite under stood me that when I said "All right," I referred to the tickets. The red signal was then on. I walked towards my break, and bad not been there more than a minute or a minute and a half, when he opened his whistle and started. I was then on the platforni, and I immediately got into my van. I had not given any directions for starting. I did not put on my break till I found he was going ahead, for I did not know whether he was or not drawing ahead to attach some thing to the train. I could not tell whether he had been called on by Mr. Hayes to attach something behind my van. It is a frequent practice to put car riages on behind my van. The train went on towards the bridge. I saw the red light. I saw Hayes and a porter coming from the hotel platform with lamps in their hands, and I was about to ask them, as Hayes had told me the ballast train had just come in,' why the train had started ? and I heard him say .something about " ballast train." I understood he meant to say the coal train was not in, and I put on my break and did not take it off again. This ought to have re tarded the train, but Tarry had put on all the steam he could put on, I think. I also showed my red signal from the lamp, but the train kept increasing its speed. The driver could not increase the speed with the break on, as the train was a light one. There were no means, except the break being put on and the red light being shown, to stop the train. I saw the policeman's red light after I passed the hut, and saw the swing bridge red signal change just before we got to the bridge. I saw the ballast train in a coal siding on this (Oxford) side of the bridge. I know the rule of the company (21st rule), which states the guard must put on his break and suddenly release it, in order to arrest the attention of the driver, but if I had done this, I could not have shown my signal light, which I had to show on the off side, in consequence of the curve at that part of the line. I also saw the coal train a mile a-head. I knew it by the green signal. The coal train was quite a mile off when I first saw it. I did all that could be done to stop the driver. Time would • not have allowed me to put on and take off the break, and had I done so the driver would not have seen my red light or danger signal had he looked back. I should say that a minute and a half elapsed from my first seeing the coal train to the accident occuring—two minutes at the most. I was in my van at the time of the collision, I cannot say whether I was thrown out or carried out of the van. I never saw any one afterwards. I cannot recollect what occurred after the collision. I do not know what became of me. I do not know anything that happened that night. Ido not recollect being upon the line, and speaking to Lee. I have some slight re collection of being conveyed to the Oxford-road Station by fly Or omnibus. I think there was a policeman with me, but I do not recollect Carrier, the driver, being there. I have some slight recollection of seeing Mr. Blott there. I think he spoke to me, but Ido not re collect what it was he said. I was much injured in the head, and my arms, thighs, and back were much bruised and hurt, and I was rendered almost insensible. Ido not recollect Mr. Blott asking me how the accident occurred, nor what I said to him ; nor do I recollect that Mr. Biott told somebody to take notice of what he said to me, and what I said to him. Ido not recollect whether I wished to be taken home. Ido not know how I got home. Tarry did not make any signal, nor shut off his steam, before the collision took place. By the Jury—l saw the driver Tarry before he started, and he seemed quite fit for duty. If he had been looking ahead or behind he must have seen that something was coming. I never knew him to start from Oxford without the signal. I did not sound my whistle when the train started, and I never started a train without whistling. I should not have started the train after the green light was put on at the swing bridge, until I had got the signal to start. I consider the green light at the swing bridge to signify that the line as well as the bridge is clear. As soon as the coal train is in the green hght is put on. The whistle of the engine is always sounded before the engine starts. If the red light is on the bridge, and it is not turned to green, the driver whistles again, and the green light is put on if all is right. By the Coroner—l have known Tarry seven years. I heard that on the day Tarry was killed there was a warrant out against him for assaulting a female. His wife came to my house on Sunday, and said she dare not go into her house. I would not see her, and she went next door to Inglis, the inspector of police. I did not hear Tarry say that before he came home that night he would have a smash. Tarry started quicker than he ever started b'-- fore. The train being as it was seven minutes late, would not require Tarry to run at a high rate of speed. By Mr. Thompson—l was miserable the whole of the Monday night of the accident. I have heard Tarry say the engine attached to the 5.30 train was a very power ful and great one. I have been in the company's service nearly eight years. I received a testimonal from the company ftir good conduct about four years ago. By Mr. Small--I swear that I never said to Tarry— " She's in ; it's all right, Jack, go on." I could not have said so, as I had not seen anything come in. I shw a man named Cumridge, a filler at Bletphley, at my house on Saturday night. I did not, to the best of my recol lection, say anything to Cumridge on the subject of the accident. I did not have any conversation with Cum ridge from the time of the accident till Saturday night —not to my recollection. By Captain Wynn—The proper signal for starting the train is my sounding my whistle. By the Coroner—lf a driver chooses to start, there are no means of stopping him with a light train, if he neglects to attend to the regulations. I swear that I never started a train from Oxford without sounding my guard's whistle. By Captain Wynn—l should not, in consequence of what Mr. Blott said to me, have started the train until I had seen him, or Hayes, or Gynne, and obtained the signal to start. William Ellister examined—l am a police officer at Bicester. I was at Oxford on Monday week last. I re turned by the eight o'clock goods train from the Barnsley road station. I went in a first carriage to Bicester, with Kinch, whom I knew. Before we started I saw Mr. Blott, who came into the carriage, and asked Kinch how he came to be on the engine. Kinch said, " I beg your pardon, sir ; I was not on the engines at all." Mr. Blott asked him how he came to start, and what orders he had received. He said to Mr. Biltt, " You told me the coal train had started 25 minutes, or half an hour, and when she came in sight I could start ;" and Kinch added, "I saw an engine coming in, and I said to Jack, 'She's in ; put on the whistle ; she's all right, go on ; and I saw the green light from the signal. Shortly after I saw the ballast engine, Fairy, and I im mediately put on the break, and held it till the collision took place." Mr. Blott requested me and Cairen, the engine driver, to notice what had been said. Kinch seemed to be hurt very much ; but I think he knew what he was saying. This conversation lasted five or ten minutes. Kinch was helped into the carriage. He complained very much of his head, but spoke rationally enough. When I got home I made a note in my pocket-book of the conversation that had taken place. By the Jury.—Kinch seemed flurried. - I think he knew what he was saying when he gave the answers I have detailed. He went on from Bicester alone. I did not think he required anybody to take care of him. William Carrier, engine-driver, in the employ of the London and North-Western Company, examined. I brought the 4.45 passenger train from Bletchley on Mon day week. That train was stopped at Islip, in conse quence of the accident to the 5.30 up-train. After some delay, we came on to the Oxford-road station. While I was there Kinch came to the spot in an omnibus. I believe I first saw him being led from an omnibus to wards the train. He was placed in a first-class carriage to be taken to Bletchley. He seemed to be suffering from the injuries he had received, and was rather low spirited. I rather think he knew what lie w as sa y ing . I spoke to him, and he answered me sensibly. I heard Mr. Blott ask this question, " Kinch, what did Mr. Hayes say to you ?" His answer was, "I do not know what he did say. I heard him say something, but what it was I did not hear. Mr. Blott then said, " I told you that you were not to start till the coal train ar rived, and that it had left Islip half an hour." Kinch said, " Yes, sir, I know you did, and I had told Tarry so. Then I saw the ballast-engine come down, and go into the siding, and I mistook it for the coal train. I said, There she is, Jack ; open your whistle, and go on.' A green light was put on at the bridge, and we started. As soon as I saw it was the Fairy ballast-engine, and not the coal train, I put on my break and never loosened it till the collision took place." I think Kinch knew what he was saying. He *as cool and quite calm. Kinch, before he got into the carriage, told me he be lieved that the six other drivers and stokers were killed, and that only he was saved. This was in answer to a question I put as to whether Tarry was dead. William Watts, breaksman to the coal train which came into collision with the 5.30 passenger train, was next examined. I saw the 5.30 train approaching us, and then put on the break and laid fast hold of the van to save myself. Both my lamps were put out by the collision which smashed my hand-lamp. I go t a li g ht . I saw Kinch near his own break, standing on the line. He had his lamp in his h an d. I s p o k e t o him. I asked him the reason of his train meeting us and he said th e green light was turned on at th e bridge, and be gave Tarry orders to start. He was very much shaken, Cut I believe lie knew what he was saying. I went up the line till I met the policeman at the north end of the tunnel. I saw Hamil again at the rear of the coal train ; lie was standing by himself on the line, and had a red light in his hand. I consider that Hamil knew very well what he was about when I spoke to him. We were detained at Bletchley waiting for the 1.15 train from Rugby. The inquiry was adjourned till twelve o'clock to-day. • FEMALE PROFESSOR.—Miss Pennell, niece of the Honourable Horace Mann, of Massachusetts, has been appointed Professor of the Latin language and literature in Antioch College, Ohio, of which Mr. Mann is elected President. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—JAN. 11. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans%) IN RE WELLINGTON AND BUTTERFIELD.) The bankrupts . Weri- Ir:ten - len at Brighton. This was" the certificate meeting. Mr. Bagley opposed for the , assignees Mr. Lowrance supported. Mr Ba:gley'said the' bankrupts commenced business in, April, 1848, with a capital of 3051. The sole ground of; opposition was the bankrupts' transaction with John Wright, bookbinder, of Noel-street, Soho, who had ob tained the lion's share of the property. His Honour said it had been established that the bankrupts, having a knowledge that Mr. Wright could seize the property, refused to do what was necessary to enable the creditors to divide the property equally amongst them ; but it did not appear to him from the evidence that the bankrupts had acted fraudulently. It was necessary that the public should know that when debtors did not act fairly towards the main body of their creditors, they should be punished when they came be fore the Court. Mr. Lawrance—Your honour will grant protection, the case being free from fraud ? The Commissioner—Yes ; protection will be granted for one month, and be then renewed, unless cause be shown to the contrary. SHERIFFS' COURT.- - lan. 11. (Before Mr. R. Ogle and a Jury.) WEBSTER V. MAPLES. This was an action brought by Mr. Webster, the pro prietor of " Webster's Royal Red Book," against the defendant, as the representative of the Brighton and Dieppe Steam-boat Company, to recover damages for breach of contract, respecting the conveyance of the plaintiff from London to Paris. Mr. Wordsworth appeared as counsel for the plaintiff, and Mr. Pearce, of the firm of Maples and Pearce, as attorney for the defendant. The plaintiff stated in evidence, that being in Paris with some friends, they proceeded to the office of the agent of the Steam-boat Company, in the Rue Basse des Rempart, and on Friday and Saturday, the 3d and 4th of September last, they inquired which was the latest train by which they could leave Paris, to arrive in London on Sunday, vid Dieppe and Brighton, and were informed that they would be in time for the steamer if they left Paris by the one o'clock p.m. train on Saturday for Dieppe. They accordingly took tickets at the office, which booked them through to London, and left Paris by the train indicated, but on their arrival at Dieppe they found the steamer just steaming out of the harbour. The plaintiff thereupon returned to Paris, and proceeded to London rid Boulogne and Dover by which he incurred an additional expense of 3/. 15s. ld. Mr. Robinson and Mr. Feeny, who accompanied Mr. Webster, gave similar evidence. For the defence, Mr. Pinhorn, the clerk of the agent of the defendant at Paris was called, and stated that he had no recollection of having made such a statement, which would have been contrary to the practice of the office. The defendant deposed that he never gave instruction to his agent to state that the one p.m. train would meet the five p.m. boat. The jury at once returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages, 6/. ; full cost allowed. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. Jazz. 11. (Before Mr. Serjeant Adams, o Assistant-Judge.) Thomas Pain, 63, was indicted for having unlawfully and indecently assaulted Sarah Buckley, a girl of tender years, with a felonious intent. There were three other chargegof the same kind against him. Mr. Parry prosecuted ; Mr. Ballantine and Mr. Sleigh defended. The trial of this case lasted nearly the whole day, and the details are of a nature unfit to meet the public eye. The prisoner was the landlord of the Jolly Bakers pub lic-house, in Little Chesterfield-street, and the girls, whose names were mentioned in the indictments, were children in that neighbourhood. The ev id ence fo r the prosecution showed that for some time he had been in the habit of enticing little girls into his house, and then conducting himself in an infamous manner towards them. At length it was discovered by the mother of one of them, and an investigation took place, the results of which were the present prosecution. Mr. Ballantine made a very powerful address to the jury, after which Mr. Sleigh called several witnesses, who spoke most favourably of the prisoner's moral character. The Assistant-Judge left the case to the jury on the second count of the indictment, charging a common assault. The Jury retired, and after some deliberation found the prisoner guilty on the second and third counts. The Assistant-Judge said he perfectly concurred in the verdict, and he was glad that it was one which had not been come to hastily, and without deliberation, and while the jury were out of Court he had told the learned counsel that if the prisoner was found guilty it would not be necessary to try him on another indictment, but that if found not guilty in this case it was absolutely necessary that another should be proceeded with. He hoped he had exhibited no feeling in the case, and the jury could not, he thought, distinguish in his summing up to them, what were his private opinions on the de fendant's conduct. Now that they had given their ver dict, and he was sitting on the awful judgment seat to pronounce the sentence, he would say that it was clear that the prisoner had grossly polluted young female children, and he might then be per mitted to express disgust and abhorrence at such infa mous conduct. If there was one offence which more than another ought to be abhorred, it was this, and the prisoner had committed it wholesale, He rejoiced to say that these cases were taken up and prosecuted, for by such prosecu,tions the moral feelings of the lower classes would be elevated, and by the expression of the disgust of all parties when such cases were brought for ward, parents of children, even in the lowest condition, would be enabled to estimate the true value of moral worth. In proportion (he said) as we direct our atten tion to those out of prison, instead of wasting all our time on those in prison, so should we elevate the moral character of the nation, and reform people by hun dreds, where now we effect only the reformation of one. He then sentenced the prisoner to eighteen months' hard labour. PRESENTMENT BY THE GRAND JURY. In the course of the day the grand jury made the fol lowing presentment, which was handed to the Court by the foreman :; " The grand jury, in closing their labours, would make the following remarks upon the cases that have come under their notice. There have been several charges of a compa ratively trifling character, and they would suggest that in all cases of such a nature, where there has been no previous conviction, the magistrates should deal with them sum marily, and not put the county to the expense of a prose cution. There have been two cases of assault in which the grand jury have been unable to find true bills, owing to the absence of the parties assaulted—these parties being in one case the wife of and in the other a woman living with the prisoner. Cases of this character the grand jury also think should be adjudicated upon by summary punishment. The grand jury rejoice to hear that there is a prospect of the grand jury being dispensed with, as they feel that the present system is of real value as to furthering the ends of justice." The Assistant-Judge said he could not entirely concur in the opinions expressed by the grand jury. Cases which might appear to them very trifling, or compara tively so, were really in many instances cases of magni tude. He then referred to the case of Kirby Patrick, tried before hiM on Monday, as illustrating this. That prisoner had received a sentence of two months more than the magistrate could have awarded, and but for particular circumstances the sentence would have been twelve months, although from the small sum he was charged with having stolen the grand j ur y might have deemed it a fit case to be disposed of by the magistrate. With reference to their remarks as to the non-appearnace of the prosecutors in assault cases, he might tell theM that the Court could not compel their appearance, and could only estreat their recognizancea if they did not appear. He cordially agreed with them in that p art of the presentment relative to the abolition of grand juries. On the grand jury bringing into court an ignored bill, in a case of assault by a husband on his wife, the fore man said they could not find it, on account of the non appearance of the wife. The Assistant-Judge remarked, that when these cases were decided by the magistrate, and the full penalty the magistrate could inflict, i.e., a fine or a term of im prisonment, was imposed, a great deal of censure was cast upon them for passing- over brutality in that way. This Court could deal with them with much more seve rity ; but when the magistrate sent such a case as the one under notice for instance for trial, the probability was that the wife was got hold of and persuaded out of appearing, by which means the brute got off with im punity. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. —Emma Jones was charged with having robbed Alexander Groesman of a watch. The complainant, who is a foreign Jew, said, on Fri day night as I was going down Fenchurch-street, th I e prisoner came up and addressed me familiarly. When got to Jewry-street she wished to be more familiar, but I repulsed her ; and when we got to the corner of a court she put her arms round me, and i mm ediately after wards said, " As you won't come, go od night," and suddenly disappeared. When I first saw her I had four watches about me, and when she left me I missed one of them. I told a policeman of the robbery, and he and I went round to a great many public houses to look for the thief, whose appearance I recollected, but could not find her. On Saturday night I disguised myself, and went again to look for her, and after some time I met her in the Min ories, when she came up and addressed me in exactly the same language which she use d the ni g ht be fore. I answered her, b and in a very short time she re cognised me, and endeavoured to g et awa y , but a po liceman coming up, I charged her as the thief. The Lord Mayor—Was she accompanied by any one when you saw her th e second time ?—Witness----Yes. She had a partner with her, who dashed my hat frOm my head. when she discovered me. The prisoner—l never saw the man in my life before the night be gave me in charge. I don't know what he means. The prisoner was remanded. GUILDHALL.—Mr. John Tracey, of No. 1, Old Fish-street, was summoned by Mr. Godwin, the collec tor, for refusing to pay 4s. Bd., the amount of two quar terly assessments in lieu of tithes towards the mainten ance of the rector of the parish of St. Mary Magdalene, Old Fish-street. Mrs. Tracey attended, and explained that she objected to pay way rates as long as a most intolerable nuisance, in the form' of a common brothel, was continued next door to her. She had been living there now nearly three years, and she had frequently been called out of lie; business by her children to turn people out of her pas sage who had mistaken it for the nuisance adjoining her own house. She had complained to the parish, and she thought it . ivas disgraceful 11:2, 4 , nothing had been Clone to turn those people -out of the' house. - • • --- Mr. Godwin said it was at present -in the handi of the vesty clerk, and steps had been taken to remove the nuisance. Alderman Wilson said the existence of such a nuisance was no answer to an application for the parish rates, and if that was the only objection, the defendant must pay the present claim for tithes. Mrs. Tracey said she had a double reluctance to pay ing tithes, arising from the following circumstance : During last winter two of her children died, and as she was at the time in very indifferent circumstances, she, by the advice of a lady in the neighbourhood, applied to the rector to forego his fees for the interment of the poor children, and the answer she received was, "Oh no, certainly not. I never give my fees away to any one." After receiving such an ans wer f rom a minister of the Church of England, she could never contribute to his support with that willingness that she otherwise would have done had he displayed a more charitable dis position. Alderman Wilson explained to Mrs. Tracey that the rector's refusal to forego his fees would not excuse her from payment of the tithes, upon which she arranged to pay the collector. BOW-STREET.—Catherine Taylor, a middle-aged Irish woman, who had a child at her breast, was charged before Mr. Jardine with obtaining Money and wearing apparel from two servant-maids, under the pretence of telling their fortunes. The case afforded considerable amusement to a crowded court. Mary Dignam stated that she was in service at 2, Tavistock-street, Covent-garden. A few days ago the prisoner came to the door with earrings for sale, and she took the opportunity of asking witness if she would like to have her fortune told for 6d. Witness thought she should, and paid the woman 21d. on account, but she insisted on 6d. also. The prisoner then told her a num ber of things, and crossed witness's hand three times with the 6d., after which she made an appointment with her to call again two days afterwards, after consulting "The Book of Knowledge." On the occasion of her second visit, the prisoner asked witness how much money she had, to which she replied, a half-sovereign and a shil ling. The risoner said, "Th e more you have the b etter the charm." Witness, by her direction, held the money in her hand a minute or so, and then the prisoner took it from her, and appeared to wrap it up in a piece of blue paper, tying it round three times with a• piece of enchanted string, and once more with a piece of hair, which witness had to pull from the left side of her head with her right hand. The woman next desired her to place the money in her bosom, on her right side, and allow it to remain three minutes • after which it was taken out again, and pl ace d i n the centre of a white handkerchief, which was tied in four or five knots, each knot being tightened by witness, and the prisoner pull ing the corners of the handkerchief with all their might. After this process, witness had to take off her garter, and have the handkerchief bound round her right leg for two hours. It was then two o'clock, and while the prisoner was tying the handkerchief to her leg she pre dicted that witness would be married twice, and would meet with many misfortunes. The prisoner then told her fellow-servant' s fortune, and left the house, promis ing to return again in a few days. Precisely at four o'clock witness went down into the kitchen, and took off the handkerchief, and, after untying all the knots, she discovered, to her dismay, that the half-sovereign and shilling had been changed to a couple of farthings. She confessed all to he mistress when she returned home, and was advised to give a description of the wo man to the police inspectors at Bow-street, which she accordingly did the same evening. Jane Gore, another girl in the same service, after cor roborating the above statement, deposed that she also consented to have her fortune told. At the request of the prisoner she fetched her shawl, a shift, a petticoat, and an apron. The prisoner wrapped them up into a bundle, and crossed it, and then placed some white powder in witness's left hand, and some black powder in her right boot, after which she was to throw nine grains of salt into the fire and wish three times. (Laughter.) Mr. Jardine—Were all the wishes to turn up, or only one ? Witness—they were all to come true. She told me to blow into the shawl nine times, and stick three pins into each corner of it. She then said that she should go away for twenty minutes, and during the interval I was to take a hair out of the right side of my head, and put it into a tumbler of cold water. I was also to cut off three pieces of toe-nail, and throw them into the fire. (Roars of laughter;) When she went away she took the bundle of clothes to be " charmed." I did what she desired me to do in her absence, and expected her back again, but I never saw her again till last night, when she was in custody. Mr. Jardine asked the girls (who gave their evidence with perfect gravity) if they could read and write ? They replied in the negative. Mr. Jardine—How did the prisoner get into custody ? the e a s n h d e m b - r as eaki bi n .o g ug a h w t i t n o . o lel w npso i p n leiceto Holborn, and her appearance corresponded so exactly with the description given by the two servants, that they were both sent for, and they at once identified her. The prisoner denied that she had ever seen the girls .before, and kept up a whining appeal to the Divinity to establish her innocence throughout the examination. She called a man, one of her cculapanions, who said he had known her for 16 years as a respectable woman, de . serted by her husband, with four living children, an three lying dead at one time with the small-pox ; but he admitted that she got her living by travelling the country as a hawker of combs, &c. Mr. Jardine, after expressing his astonishment that such dupes could be met with in these enlightened times, informed the prisoner that persons were liable to a very severe punishment for imposing on ignorant people by pretending to tell their fortunes, and his worship then sentenced her to three months' hard labour. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. —Edmund Bragg, clerk in the service of th 6 Great 'W estern Railway Company, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with various rob beries. The first charge was for stealing a volume of Scott's Life of Napoleon Bonaparte, the property of the di rectors of the Great Western Railway. The second was for stealing a snuff-box, the property of the Great Western Railway Snuff Club. The third was for stealing a coat, the property of James Spencer. The prisoner was fully committed upon all the charges, WORSHIP - STREET.—William Beat ll, a journey man blacksmith, was placed at the bar before Mr. D'Eyncourt, charged with a murderous assault upon his mother, an infirm and aged woman, with a hammer, whereby her life had been seriously endangered. The prisoner was ordered to be remanded for a week, to afford an opportunity of ascertaining the result of his unnatural violence. LAMBETH.—Last evening, as Mr. Elliott was about to leave the bench, Frederick Butler, a well-,dressed per son, and who is well knoWn to the police as an expert member of the swell mob, was brought into the court in custody of Sergeant Quinnear, and placed at the felon's bar, on a charge of being concerned, with others - not in custody, with burglariously breakinc , into the premises of Mr. Thomas - Prince, the keeper of a fancy bazaar in Beckford-row, Walworth-road, and stealing therefrom property of the value of 7001. Superintendent Lund requested a remand upon the plea that he would be prepared with evidence upon a future occasion.—The prisoner was remanded. SOUTHWARK. — Elizabeth, Ford and Harriet Jones, two women of the town, were placed at the bar before Mr. ATeckett, charged with stealing 40/. in Bank of England notes and sovereigns from the Person of Mr. Charles Roberton. Policeman Atkinson' M division, stated that the pri soners were given into his custody on the previous night by Mr. Roberton upon the charge of having robbed him of the above sum of money at a house of ill-fame in Orange-court, Gravel-lane, into which one of them (Ford) had inveigled him. The complainant was present at the station-house when the charge was preferred, and inti mated his determination to be in attendance at this court the next morning to prosecute the prisoners, but he (the policeman) had not seen him since. The magistrate inquired where he was, and why he did not attend. A gentleman, who said his name was Roberton, and described himself as the brother of the complainant, stood forward, and said that he saw his brother the previous night subse quent l y to his hav i ng g i ven the prisoners into custody, and th at he wa s t h en l a bouring under great mental depr ess i on. He (app li can t) had not seen him this morning, although made every inquiry, and he was fearful t hat he had de stroyed himself. he called at his h ouse and h a d Mr. A'Beckett asked the applicant if the prisoners were detained, did he think that evidence would be produced to show that they had robbed his brother of 401. at a house of ill fame in the place mentioned. The applicant, in reply, said he heard his brother state that he had been robbed of the amount specified in a house into which he had been decoyed by a woman while he was under the influence of liquor. He ( applicant) knew nothing further of the transaction, and therefore would not wish to take the r esponsibility upon him of having the prisoners detained on the charge, as he had no evidence to off er aga inst them, and was earful that his unfortunate brother had committed suicide, owing to the condition of mind under which he laboured in con sequence of the unfortunate circumstances connected with his having accompanied the prisoners. Ford ejaculated that she would explain the whole matter if she was permitted, and that there was no foundation for the charm as affected herself. Mr. A'Beckettlsaid that at present she was not called upon to make any statement, as there was no evidence against her or herlellow prisoner. He should therefore discharge them, and if the gentleman who had given them into custody, and was supposed to have committed suicide, should re-appear, they would be again taken taken into custody. The prisoners were then discharged. STILTON.—Much mystery has been attached to the movements of this horse. We understand that he is Filtered in the Chester Cup by Count Hahn, and that he is now being tr a i ne d at Royston by. C. Marson.

MAHOMMEDAN OBJECTION TO CHRISTIANITY.—The Mahommedan religion offers formidable obstacles, hu manly speaking, to the introduction of Christianity. Our Church Missionary Society has had a station in Cairo for several years, but they have never yet made a single convert from the Mahommedan faith. The reply of an enlightened Mahommedan to a missionary is cha racteristic of the race of Moslems—" Your religion," said he, " gives me three Gods and one wife ; mine gives me three wives and one God : I prefer my own."—An drav's FOU2' Months' Tour in the East. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. (From the London New Price Current, of yesterday:) SUGAR.—There is no further advance for Foreign although shippers and home dealers are desirous to operate, with only moderate parcels on offer. Home and 'export deliveries are favourable, and yet exceed - arrivals.Pre- Vions' terms. have been sustained for West India , still grocers and refiners operated with reluctance, and from Wednesday to Friday purchases were only 800 AB &c. ; low to fine brown at 32s to 34s 6cl; yellow ditto 34;6d to 40s, and refining 33s to 38s per cwt. Stock of West. India is smaller than at this date last season by 5,900 tons. To day there was a great demand for West India Sugar from both refiners and grocers , the rates obtained were fully equal to those of Friday, 'and the market has a firm aspect. Purchases amounted to 770 hhds, including at auction 370 hhds and 29 tierces Barbadoes, which went briskly at very full prices ; fine yellow realised 39s to 40s 6d ; middling to good 363 to 38s Gd ; ordinary 34s 6d to 35s 6d. REFINED.—Prices for brown lumps rule at 453 to 46s ; Tittlers, common to fine, 46s to 50s, double 51s to 52s ; Hambro' loaves 46s Gd to 51s, double 52s to 535, and stan dark lumps 47s per cwt. Several contracts have been en tered into on similar terms. The quantity of foreign re fired imported has again been small. A free sale exists for wet lumps--low to mid at 42s to 435, and good to fine 43s 6d to 44s Gd. In bastards purchases have been on a large scale, brown at 27s to 31s, and yellow 32s to 355. For pieces there is an active demand, and the currency is firm, 'fine at 41s to 42s low to go o d 36 s t o 39 s Gd . A f ree sa l e ex i s t s f or treacle, still there is no advance • boiled from West India molasses at 15s 6d to 16 s , and golden syrup 16s Gd to 17s. In Loaves large purchases have been made, Turkey, 1 to 5i lbs. rule at 42s to ; Hambro, 6to 15 ditto 33s to 35s 6d ; Tittlers, 22 to 30 ditto 31s to 32s ; Prussian, 40 to 45 ditto 30s to 30s 6d ; Dutch made Loaves, 6 to 10 lbs. 31s 6d to 33s ; and Belgian 29s 6d t o 30 s 6d per cwt. To day, many purchases were made in Refined Sugar for home , consumption, and brown lumps cannot be obtained under 45s per cwt. There is some firmness in the market. Crushed Sugar is much required for shipping, and at last week's rates there are few sellers. Meunrrius.—The value of fine and good yellow is 36s to 395, middling 35s to 35s Gd, low 348' Gd, good to fine brown 32s to 345, common to middling 2Ss to 31s, low to fine grey 33s to 375, grainy white 42s to 445, yellow ditto 36s to 41s, and brown 34s to 35s 6d per cwt. This after noon Mauritius Sugar was in plentiful supply, and the quantity offered at public sale was 9,030 bags ; the bulk found buyers, but in some cases there was a decline of Gd per cwt. Fine yellow went at 37s to 39s 6d ; mid so fine 34s 6d ; low 33s 6d to 318 ; mid to fine brown 30s Gd to 33s 6d; ordinary 29s to 30 ; and low to fine refining 32s to 37's per cwt. EAST INDlES.—Operations in Bengal have been exten sive, and the previous advance has been well sustained. At public sale 15,300 bags Benares nearly au found buyers — low to middling grainy white at 41s to 42s 6d, good to fine yellow ditto 31s to 435, fair brown 33s 6d ' • Benares, good to fine white 38s 6d. to 40s, low to middling 36s 6cl to 38s, fino yellow 35s 6d to 36s 6d ; Mauritius sorts good to fine 34s 6d. to 363 6a, middling and low 33s to 345, brown 30s Gd to 32s 6d, and Khaur 27s to 28s 6d. per cwt. This after noon the suppltof Bengal was again large, and the public sales went off quietly. White Benares at 6d per cwt. de cline, and other sorts in some cases at rather lower terms. Of 10,000 bags the chief part sold—white Benares 39s to 40s, low to good 36s to 38s 6d ; good and superior grainy yel low 38s to 41s ; fine, like Mauritius, 36s 6d.to 37s 6d. Madras is less wanted, and rates are barely supported. At auction 270 bags realised, for brown 28s to 295, and low to middling yellow 29s 6d. to 31s per cwt. FORElGN.—Exporters have been desirous to operate in. .foreign sugar, and there has been a good home-trade demand. The rates obtained are fully equal to those cur rent previously. Private transactions are 3,000 chts Ha vannah, brown at 31s 6d to 35s 6d, low to middling yellow 36s to 38s, good to fine 39s to 41s, floretts 41s Gd to 42s ; 2,000 bags brown Pernambuco 32s 9d ; 300 chts Bahia white 36s to 40s, yelll9w 34s 6(1 to 35s 6d, brown 31s to 34s ; 500 bkts Java, grey and white 37s to 41s, yellow 36s 6d. Floating cargoes are wanted for all purposes, but the re luctance of merchants to sell prevents business.

LIVERPOOL. JAN. 11. The Corn-exchange this morning was slenderly attended. There was about trio usual demand for wheat and flour from the neighbouring millers and dealers, at much the same prices as 'were current this day se'rinight. There were only a few buyers from a distance. Fine oats were scarce, and quite as dear, but secondary sorts were id to id per bushel lower. Oatmeal also was. rather easier to buy. The sales of barley, beans, and peas were inconsider able, and prices stand unchanged. Scarcely any Indian corn here at present. IPSWICH—JAN. 11. The supply of wheat was small ; those samples which were dry and in condition sold readily, and in some in stances with a turn against the buyer. The trade evinced much firmness, and it only requires a gentle frost to put the wheats into condition to establish a fair advance in price. Of barley there was a good supply, and the quality generally fine ; it sold readily, and an advance of is per qr. was freely paid. Other grain firm. PLR QUARTER. PEZ QUARTE R.
