WEEK DAYS. RAILWA GREAT NORTHERN. The half-yearly report of the directors of this company states that, after providing for the fixed rents and charges, including the interest on the mortgage debt, now en tirely borne by revenue, and for the dividends on the various preference shares there remains a balance of 61,1701. applicable to dividends on the original stock, and on the B stock. To pay a dividend at the rate of 21 per cent. per annum on the original stock, and at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the B stock, will re quire the sum of 60,1051., and the directors recommend dividends accordingly, which, if adopted, will leave to be carried to next half year's iLccount the sum of 1,0651. In the case of the 41 per Cent Redeemable Preference 101. Shares, as only three calls are paid, and the fourth will not be due till the 30th of September, it is intended to defer paying the dividend till after the scrip has been sent in for registration, and therefore to pay it with the next half-year's dividend on the whole share after the general meeting in February, 1854. The dividend of the 30th of June will be Is. 70. per share, and the sum of 8,5141. is reserved to meet it, including also in terest on calls paid in advance, The gross receipt of the half-year to the 30th of June, although the first half of the year, and which is usually less productive than the second or autumn half year, exceeds that ended the 31st of December, 1852, by a sum of 20,000 L On the 28th of June last the Royal assent was given to the Great Northern Railway Company's Increase of Capital Act, 1853, introduced to Parliament under the authority of the general meeting of the 26th of August, 1852, and which gives legal sanction to the 750,0001. share capital raised under the authority of the same meeting by the issue of 41 Redeemable Preference 101. shares, of which 71. 10s. has been paid up. The act also gives the usual power to borrow on mortgage 250,0001. The saute act gives power to convert all the mortgage debt of the com pany into a debenture stock, at not exceeding 4 per cent. per annum interest ; to redeem the 5 per cent. redeem able preference stock, and the 6 per cent. stock of the East Lincolnshire Railway Company. The directors having made arrangements by which a reasonable num ber of trains on the line to 14 c'onstruoted-by the Mid— , land Railway Company from Leicester, by Bedford, to Hitchin, on the Great Northern Railway are to meet the Great Northern trains, and to convey the goods and passenger traffic to and from the Great Northern line and Leicester, by Bedford and Hitchin ; and in case of any dispute arising as to the number of trains, or the nature and extent of the accommodation afforded, or as to the rates and fares, such dispute is to be decided by the Board of Trade. The directors consider that this arrangement will practically secure to the Great Northern the full benefit of the contemplated Sandy and Bedford branch, of seven-and-a-half miles, without put ting the proprietors to the cost of its construction, and a clause securing this object is inserted in the Midland Company's act. The general meeting in August last year was informed that, under the pressure of a manda mus, the directors had found it necessary to take steps towards the construction of the Isle of Axholm Rail way, of 26 miles. A subsequent decision, however, of the Courts in a similar case, that a mandamus for such an object cannot be granted, relieved them from the necessity, and the intention of making that railway has been abandoned. The Ambergate Company are this session seeking power to make an independent line of about 2/ miles, from their junction with the Midland Railway into Nottingham, and to build at Nottingham a station separate from, and independent of, that of the Midland Railway Company. In the meantime the Great Northern Company continue to work in concert with the Ambergate Company. An independent company have obtained a bill for the construction of a line to connect directly the towns of Boston and Grantham, to run into the Great Northern station at Grantham, where it will join the Ambergate line, and friendly relations have been established with that com pany. An act has also passed for making a line under and following the course of the New-road, from the Edgeware-road to King's-moss—in the first instance un der the title of " The North Metropolitan Railway." The promoters are desirous of forming a communication with the Great Northern station, and intend to carry on their line to the western and southern districts of London, as well as towards the city, The directors are not in any way parties to this project, but they are of opinion that it can only affect the Great Northern beneficially. The report alludes to the question of the validity of the working agreement of February 26, 1852, between the Great Northern Railway Company and the South York shire Railway and River Dun Company, and the recent decision in the Court of Exchequer in favour of the South Yorkshire Company. They state that, although the judgment will be entered up for the South Yorkshire Company, it cannot by any means be considered as a conclusive judgment ; and that, under the circum stances, they have not hesitated in carrying the case by way of appeal to the Court of Exchequer Chamber. The question of the validity of the argument will, therefore, be argued before that court, which will consist exclu sively of the judges of the Queen's Bench and Common Pleas. In the meantime the directors have not been indifferent to the propriety of endeavouring to come to an amicable arrangement with the South Yorkshire Company, to be regulated entirely by the payment of toll according to the quantity of coal ; but the communications bad between the parties have not hitherto resulted in any arrangement. Prior to the half-yearly meeting in February one of the directors will retire from office, and not present himself for re election, in deference to the wishes of the proprietors, and to carry out the understanding come to at the gene ral meeting in February last. The candidates for a seat in the direc:lon will be required to intimate the same by letter, addressed to and lodged with the secretary prior to the Ist of February in each year, and, therein failing, to be considered ineligible for election. The report of Mr. J. Cubit, the engineer, states that considerable works are in progress at the Knottingley and Wakefield stations, which are the joint property of this company and the Lancashire and Yorkshire Com pany, and which it has become necessary to remodel and enlarge in order to facilitate the working of the greatly increasing traffic consequent on the opening of this line. The long-continued heavy rains and floods have produced no ill effects on the line, and the perma nent way throughout is in good order, and the works are in a sound and satisfactory state. The capital account to the 30th of June shows that 10,227,378/• had been received, including 4,808,4371. on the original stock, 1,298,2241,. on 5 per cent. perpetual preference capital, 1,425,4341. redeemable preference capital, 2,594,6221. loans on mortgage. The sum ex pended on capital account amounted to 9,958,478/., leaving a balance of 268,9001., including amount in vested in South Yorkshire Railway shares, &c. The revenue account for the half-year ending the 30th of June shows that 381,5771. had been received, and 174,8791., or 45'83 per cent., expended, including 6,0151. rates and taxes, and 6,1211. Government duty, leaving a balance of 206,6981. To this sum is added 3,7021., the balance from the last half-year, and 8,4001. due from the Eastern Counties Company for six months' interest and rent-charge on the Royston and Hitchin Railway, making 218,8001.

B shares. The dividend on the corresponding period of last year was at the rate of 2 per cent, per annum, the gross receipts being 290,675 1 . ; and the balance remaining for dividend on the original stock was 49,1861., while the gross receipts in the half-year ending the 30th of June last amounted to 381,5781., and the balance remaining for dividend on the original stock was 61,1641. The number of miles run by the engines was 2,163,119, of which 1,187,531 miles were run by goods engines. The consumption of coke by passenger engines was at the rate of 21.11 b. per mile, and by goods engines 39•51 b. per mile run. The cost of the coke and coal consumed during the half-year was 18,9811., or 12s. 6id, per ton, or 2'2od. per mile per train. The total working charges, including rates and taxes and Government duty, averaged 1.695. per mile for the 2,068,615 miles run by the trains, In addition to the 283 miles of the Great Northern sys tem, the company's trains have worked over 126 miles of railway the property of other companies—namely, 53 miles over the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire lines, 18 miles from Doncaster to Barnsley over the South Yorkshire, and over 55 miles of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railways; making the total length of railway worked over by the Great Northern trains 409 miles. The gross receipts on 2411 miles for the half year ending on the 31st of December, 1851, amounted to 315,6501., and the dividend to 21 per cent. per an num ;on 2231 miles for the half-year ending the 30th of June, 1852, amounted to 290,675 1 ., and the dividend to 2 per cent. per annum ; on 283 miles for the half-year ending the 31st of December, 1852, 361,0511., and the dividend to 21 per cent. per annum ; and on 283 miles for the half-year ending the 30th of June, 1853, to 381,5781., and the dividend to 21 per cent, per annum. The SECRETARY (Mr. Nash), who is also secretary to the Hereford, Ross, and Glocester Railway, said, there was an a g reement between the Great Western and the Hereford, Ross, and Glocester Companies by which the Great Western was to work it and pay, first of all the interest on the debenture debt, and then were to take 611 per cent, for working thelina r suld allow 40 per cent, of the earnings for interest or dividend. The CHAIRMAN said, this had been considered a very advantageous bargain to the Hereford, Ross, and Glo cester Company, as, although the working expenses appeared high, they could not themselves work it at that cost. _ _ After some further conversation, the resolutions were put and carried nern. con., and the meeting broke up.

On Wednesday evening last a number of the proprie tors and friends of the above company sat down to dinner at the Vane Arms, Seaham Harbour, in com memoration of the completion of the above undertaking. The chair was occupied by Robert Wight, Esq., who was supported on the right by Lord Seaham, and on the left by his noble father, the Marquis of Londonderry, who wore, on this occasion, the blue ribbon of the garter. The vice-chair was occupied by J. J. Wright, Esq. The dinner was served up in Mr. Gilmour's best style, and though small time had been allowed for its preparation, it fully sustained the credit of the Vane Arms. After the removal of the cloth, the CHAIRMAN gave the usual introductory toasts of "The Queen," " Prince Albert, and the rest of the Royal Family," and "The Army and Navy." The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, in responding to the last toast, alluded to the younger men who were now coming forward to supply the place of those whom he hoped they would equal, though he well knew they could never surpass them. If it was their fate, and it had been his, to pass a long life in toil and service, he knew there was at least one thing at which they would feel highly gratified, viz., in having such a kind and welcome reception as he had received from the people of Seaham. Mr. ANDERSON, of Westoe, in responding to " The Navy," said he was sure they would do their duty when called upon, whether against Russia or any other country. Lord SEAHAM hoped he was not breaking through the order of the toasts in adding the " Militia" to the num ber. As an officer in that body, he was proud to state that these troops would do honour to any country in the world. (Cheers.) The CHAIRMAN—" The Bishop and Clergy of the Diocese." Responded to by the Rev. Mr. BETHUNE. The CHAIRMAN, in proposing "The health of the Mar quis of Londonderry, called attention to his numerous distinguished qualities and long experience, and the im portant position he held in the county of Durham. He was sure he was not saying too much before the noble lord, when he said that if his lordship had done nothing else than extended the traffic in that most important ar ticle of commerce—the coal trade, he was entitled to their most heartfelt gratitude. In extending that trade he had, as it were, opened up a new source of wealth to the district, and he was sure there was none but wished him the highest success. (Cheers.) But be had not alone been the means of accomplishing this, fur he was at the present time constructing a line of railway to con nect the rising town of Seaham Harbour with the port and town of Sunderland—(cheers)—so that this town once looked upon as a rival would be a powerful adjunct to that great port. There had been an expression used in another place something to this effect—" How can the Queen's Government be carried on ?" Now in the spirit of that question, he would like to ask the inhabitants of Seaham how the prosperity and government of this little place can be carried on without the fostering care and generous impulses of the noble lord ? (Cheers.) He more especially alluded to that event which had con vened them together—the completion of the Seaham Harbour Water Works. He reminded his brother di rectors, after they had commenced operations, and like wise builders "counted the cost," that they found it would not be a remunerative concern. An appeal was then made to the noble lord, who at once gave up to the company, for a mere peppercorn, the right to supply with water the ships that entered the port—a source of reve nue of about 150/. per annum. This, the chairman thought, would make the Seaham Water Works one of the best investments that could be found. Mr. Wight concluded by proposing the toast, which was drunk with all the honours. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY responded to the toast. He said it was with no ordinary feelings of gratification and pride that he rose to say a few words on the present occasion. He liked much more to hear speeches than to make them himself—to see work done than talk about it. What he wanted was facts, and other things he dis carded as ephemeral, and of no importance. When Mr. Wright asked "How the Government was to be carried on," and alluded to himself (the Marquis) in the flattering manner he had done, he could not but think that a great deal of their success was to be attributed to the industry and intelligence of the people of Seaham themselves, for he had never suggested an improvement but had been warmly responded to by them. This was indeed a most auspicious day for this little town, for not only was there an essential element to the health and comfort of the people brought to their own doors, but it had been carried to the very harbour, where the shipping coming to the port could partake of it. He could appeal to God that the thought of benefitting by this means the 700 houses of the town was more before his eyes and afforded him more real pleasure than any advantage to himself connected with it.

He returned his hearty and sincere thanks to each and all of them for the manner in which his name and his exer tions had been received by them ; he could not, as was to be expected, be spared much longer among them ; nay, it was possible that this might be the very last occasion ; but as long as it pleased God to spare him, he would look back with pride and pleasure on the kindness they' had shown him. Before sitting down he would trespass a few moments more on their attention, and propose "The Health of their chairman, Mr. Wight." Mr. Wight came down here when the place had the appearance of a barren and unfruitful rock, and plunged with him into the undertaking. He spent thousands of pounds to establish that great manufactory, and his exertions, though futile enough looking at first, had been crowned with complete success.

GUILDHALL.— Win. Poole, an omnibus driver , was 1 charged with causing the death of a man, whose name was unknown, by driving his omnibus over him. A gentleman who witnessed the accident said he observed the deceased making his way through Newgate street on Sunday evening in an almost helpless state of intoxication, and just as the prisoner's omnibus ap proached the deceased made a lurch on one side as if about to cross the road, slipped, and fell under the splinter bar, when the fore wheel of the omnibus passed directly over him. The prisoner pulled up, and the deceased was picked up from between the fore and hind wheels, and in five minutes after be expired. Alderman Salomons inquired if the prisoner was in any way to blame 1 The gentleman said—Certainly not. He was driving at a rate of not more than four or five miles an hour, and could not by any possibility have avoided the acci dent. _ . ----- Alderman Salomons said under these circumstances he would remand the prisoner on his own recognisances in 20/., in order that the verdict of the coroner's jury might be obtained. Anne Cocker, the mother of a large family of young children, was placed at the bar upon a charge of cruelty, in leaving an infant three months old for two days and nights without proper nourishment and sustenance. It appeared that the prisoner had within the last nine months taken to drinking, and so inveterate had the habit become that during the previous week she departed 1 from her home in the morning leaving the poor little in fant in bed, in danger of being smothered in the bed clothes. In the evening the father came home, and dis covering the deserted state of the child, he procured a person to suckle it. The child was taken to Dr. Lloyd, who pronounced it in a dying condition, and recom mended the nurse to give information at the police station, so that the unnatural mother might be appre hended. When the prisoner was taken, she was in a beastly state of drunkenness, and it was ascertained she had spent the intervening time at the various pub lic-houses in the neighbourhood, having made the tour of all of them. She was, however, remanded for the at tendance of Dr. Lloyd. Mr. Alderman Moon attended the court yesterday morning, and stated, with regard to a cab case last week, in which he fined the driver 10s. for misconduct, that he had received several letters from persons complaining of his decision. He said, as the case read in the report, it would appear that he had decided somewhat too se verely ; but, as he doubted the driver's statement "that he had finished his day's work when hailed by the com plainant, and was returning home," and no evidence was put forward in proof of that statement, and taking also into consideration the fact that he refused to let complainant see his badge, and hid it under his arm when requested to show it, he concluded that the driver had urged in his defence a statement he could not sub stantiate. He was always most anxious to temper jus tice with mercy, and no person could be more desirous than himself to promote a proper feeling of humanity in 1 cabdrivers respecting the treatment of their horses ; and he therefore hoped the public press would allow him by the above statement to correct an erroneous impression. The following is an account of the loss of the Arab ship Fazl Kereem, with the outward English mails for Bombay of June 24, and almost the entire crew and passengers, amounting to 180 persons : The Peninsular and Oriental steamer Hindostan, corn mewled by Captain Harris, the most zealous and efficient officer of that company's steam fleet in these seas, ar rived at Aden, from Suez, at 3 p.m. of the 12th of July, as usual with that vessel, one day earlier than she was expected, bringing the home mails for Calcutta and Bombay of the 24th of June. The Bombay portion of these mails is not that for which the Indian Government has a contract with her Majesty's Government to carry by steam, consequently it is not obligatory upon the former to supply a steamer for the purpose. However, when there have been steamers sufficient at its dis posal, the Bombay Government have generally ordered one for this service. The number of such vessels now, and for a year past, employed at Burmah, has precluded the possibility of such an arrangement during this sea son, and, consequently, sailing vessels have been ap pointed to do the duty. The Bombay mails, therefore, which arrived at Aden by the Precursor, on the 14th of June, from Suez, were dispatched by the hon. company's sloop Elphinstone on'the same day. On the 20th of June the hon. company's steamer Ajdaha left Bombay , with the homeward-bound mails, and it was calculated that she would have reached Aden by the sth of July, and, after delivering over her mails and passengers to the hon. company's steamer Akbar, which was to take them to Suez, be ready to return to Bombay with the home mails expected from Suez by the Hindostan. Un fortunately the Ajdalia, encountered very severe weather, and did not reach Aden till the afternoon of the Bth, having been obliged to burn all her spare spars and cables on the voyage. From the accounts given by the passengers it appears that the vessel was frequently in the most critical positions, and when she arrived here it was found that she was in a most shattered condition, and, on examination, her rudder was discovered to be so completely rotten that the wonder is how she ever made Aden at all, and did not founder at sea. Such being the miserable plight of the Ajdaha, it was impossible to send her to Bombay, and the only other vessel belonging to the hon. company in the Aden har bour available for the purpose was the small schooner Mahe. Had sheleen sent, the present disaster would, in all probability, have never occurred ' bet the reason assigned for not sending her was, the almost certainty that the Ajdaha would not be ready for sea by the time of the arrival of the Akbar with the contract mails from Suez, expected at Aden on the 26th of July. Under these circumstances, an Arab ship called the Fazl Kereem, which had a few days before arrived from Jiddah, with a cargo of salt and pilgrims bound to Singa pore, was engaged by the political agent to carry the mails to Bombay. It is not known whether she was properly surveyed before the engagement was entered into, but as no veto was placed upon the native com mander against taking freight from Aden, he took an additional large cargo from that port, so that when she put to sea she was deep in the water, and carried in crew and pilgrim passengers 191 persons. The Hin dostan, as above stated, arrived from Suez on the 12th, coaled, and left on the 13th ; but there being no steamer to tow out the Fazl Kereem, she remained in harbour till the evening of the 13th, when, a favourable wind occurring from the north-east, she made sail and got clear of Cape Aden. Mr. Hankins was sent in charge of the mails. He was an acting master in the Indian navy, the son of an English clergyman, and was sup plied with a chronometer to aid the native commander in the navigation of the vessel. The Fazl Kereem left in one of those storms called by the Arabs a " Shamaul," which bring with them clouds of dust, completely filling the atmosphere, and making everything look gloomy and desolate. On sailing out of the harbour several of her sails were riven by the MARLBOROUGH-STREET.— A labouring man, wind—a sad presage of the fate which awaited that un who said his name was Reynolds, presented himself fortunate ship !

Mr. Hardwick—And why did you strike ? Only 11 out of 191 souls have lived to tell the fate of Reynolds —I was obliged to do so. I did not want their doomed companions. Three of these have reached to strike ; I got pretty good wages for my work, and Aden, two pilgrims and a Lascar, and they state that would have kept at work if it had not been for the Irish on the morning after the ship left Aden, when she was labourers. The Irish labourers came round in a body, only about twenty miles from that port, it was discovered and half murdered any one who would not join the strike. that there were six feet of water in the hold. This I did not want to have my head smashed, by refusing to alone, with an under cargo of salt, was sufficient to call join the strike, as I knew the law gave me no protec- ' forth the energy, and perhapstobs were affioer e chiefly mu poorw the stalwart s. tion, or what was the same as no protection , for what strength, of Brit w ish ret s c e ht a he m od doctrine er the seamen passengers but of fatalism robbed satisfaction' would it have been to me, if crippled, to miserable natives, and learn that somebody had been fined a few shillings for sulmans, whose injuring me ? When the strike was over, I went back them of their natural power.

This circumstance necessarily depreciated the dividend of the company, and would continue to do so until the Here ford line was finished ; but as the works on that line were being pressed forward with great vigour, there was reason to believe th a t th e open i ng throughout would take place in the summer or autumn of next year, and this company, in common with the other shareholders on that line, would then receive a dividend upon the ca pital therein embarked. The main importance, how ever, of an early through opening of the line to Here ford arose from the increase which would then take place in the amount of rent receivable from the Great Western Railway Company. The CHAIRMAN moved the usual resolutions for the adoption and printing of the report, the affixing the seal to the register of the proprietors, and the declara tion of a dividend of 4 per cent, per annum, for the year ending Juno 30. A fourth resolution re-elected Messrs. G. Jones and W. H. K. Gibbon, directors, on retiring by rotation. In putting these resolutions to the meet ing the chairman answered some questions put by one of the shareholders. He explained that the Great West ern Company guaranteed a rent of 41 , - per cent. up to the opening of the Hereford, Ross, and Glocester line, wh en it would be increased ; that 41- per cent. was now paid to this company, and the reason why the shareholders only got 4 per cent, was that the other half per cent. was applied to pay expenses of management and loss of inte rest on the 15,6251. lent to the Hereford, Ross, and Glocester Company. Although this company was re ceiving a rental, they were obliged to keep up an estab lishment and officers. Mr. WHITOOMBR remarked, that the Great Western Company did not guarantee this company a clear 41 per cent. There were certain expenses which the share holders had to pay out of it.

He need only refer to her exertions in connection with the school, and the display at the Hall that day, which spoke so much for her kind heart and modest spirit ; but these qualities were so well known to them all that he felt it superfluous longer to detain them, and would conclude by proposing "Health, long life, and prosperity to the Most Noble the Marchioness of Londonderry." (Great applause.) The toast was drunk with the greatest enthusiasm. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, in acknowledging the , toast, said if anything could give her ladyship more pleasure than another it would be the manner in which her health, and humble exertions, had been received among them. She might have moment ar y fancies, but he could declare before God that her happiness was more bound up in the people of Wynyard and Seaham than in all the rest of the family estates. (Cliecri.) The Rev. A. BETHUNE proposed "The health of Lord Seaham "—a name and a nobleman whom it was unne cessary to comment upon to secure a warm reception. (Cheers, and cries of " A canny fellow.") Lord SEAHAM thanked them for the flattering manner in which Mr. Bethune's toast had been received. It was always a source of the greatest gratification to him to be of servi ce t o any por ti on o f the county, and it would be his aim, when the good people of Seaham and the neighbourhood were concerned, to follow the example of his respected pare n t s , f or h e b e lieved that he could say without exaggeration that such an object had been with them their dearest idol. (Cheers.) And he would at least be like them in this respect—tell candidly and openly what he had t o t e ll. He had closer ties to bind him to Seaham than even the ties of birth • and he ex pressed a hope, that if h e h a d ga i ne d Many friends among his large constituency, he had not made a single enemy. (Cheers.) His lordship would conclude by proposing " Prosperity to the Seaham Harbour Water Works." They had now got them in order, and he hoped they would keep them in it. (Cheers, and laughter.) The Marquis of LONDONDERRY, in a few words, pro , posed "The health of Mr. Rutherford," to which that gentleman responded. The water had been brought to the town, he said, on the 2d of July, but the works could not be said to be fairly completed till now, when the shipping of the port was supplied with it. He con sidered the scheme in a position to bring a good per centage to the shareholders. Mr. H. S. SPEED proposed, in appropriate terms, "The health of Lady Seaham," to which Lord Seaham responded. Mr. W. WIGHT proposed "The Coal Trade," to which Mr. HINDHAUGH responded. Mr. WAKENSHAW proposed "Prosperity to the Lon donderry Seaham and Sunderland Railway," to which the noble marquis responded. He was going, he said, to take leave of them in a few days for another country, which, he was glad to say, now showed signs of return ing reason and quiet.

THAMES.—Janes Boyd, a sawyer, of No. 7, Upper Mary-street, Bromley, was brought up yesterday on re mand charged with assaulting his wife, Ellen Boyd, to whom he had been married 18 years, and whom he had frequently beaten in a most cowardly and savage man ner. The police had frequently interposed for the pro tection of the unfortunate wife ; but although he had been brought to this court before, she had absented her self, and he was discharged. Last Thursday he struck her with an adze and inflicted serious injuries upon her. The prisoner had brought home a strumpet with whom lie passed the night, while his wife and his children oc cupied another room, and this flagrant act of indecency and immorality led to a quarrel and the prisoner vio lently assaulting his wife. The prisoner, in his defence, said, his wife was an habitual drunkard, and had committed adultery with another man named James Pritchard, whom lie had found lying on his bed on Sunday in the daytime. This man was summoned as a witness, and he said he had been invited to dine by the prisoner himself, and, being sleepy, preferred a nap on his bed, on which lie threw himself, and when he awoke the prisoner was in the room having his dinner. He denied most emphati cally that any improper intercourse had taken place be tween him and Mrs. Boyd. Mr. Yardley said, that although the woman was net blameless, he must effectually deter the prisoner from continuing to inflict such cowardly and savage assaults upon her, and he sentenced him to four months' im prisonment and hard labour. LAMBETH.—Mr. George Tyer, a young man of gentlemanly appearance, who holds a lucrative situation in a public office, attended, in discharge of his bail, to meet a charge of stealing a diamond ring, of the value of 51., the property of Rachael Israel, of No. 9, Hanover court, Hart-street, Covent-garden. From the evidence of the complainant, a fat, frowsy looking Jewess, it appeared that, while at V - gardens, the accused invited her to have a w ith him, and during the dance she felt her ring going off her right hand. She accused the prisoner with taking the ring, and gave him into custody on that charge, but she did not wish to press it. In reply to the questions of the magistrate, the witness acknowledged that the ac cused had not made the slightest effort to move away, but, on the contrary, had offered to submit to a search, and had assisted her in looking about the place for the ring, believing she had dropped it. Mr. Gunn, the clerk, drew the magistrate's attention to the fact, that though the hand of the prosecutrix was very fat and very coarse, yet the finger joints were very small, so that the ring would have easily slipped off by the pressure of the hand itself. The magistrate was thoroughly satisfied the accused was entirely innocent of the charge, and at once dis missed The a it c . cused expressed his determination to bring an action for damages against his accuser, and left the court in company with hi:friends.
