BEDFORD-SQUARE Lowoox. MURDER OF A HUSBAND BY HIS WIFE AND SON.— The Court of Assizes of the Vosges, in its last sitting, tried a woman named Demangeon, aged 54, for the mur der of her husband, and her son Maurice, aged 20, as her accomplice. At an early hour in the morning of the 29th of June last, as a man was passing along a field in the hamlet of Ivoux, he found the body of a man stained with blood lying in a path. His head was covered with terrible wounds. Near him was a stone stained with blood, and to which some of his hair adhered ; and at his feet was a basket of eggs, several of which were broken. But there were no marks of any struggle hav ing taken place ; and it was evident from the nature of the wounds that they had not been inflicted with the stone. It was consequently assumed that the man had been murdered in some other place, and then carried to the field. From the dress, deceased was recognised as a farmer, named Demangeon, Hagis les Belles. He had lived in an isolated house with his wife and son. They were sent for. The woman showed no emotion, the son threw himself on the body, uttering cries, but shed no tears. The woman said that her husband had left home in the morning for the neighbouring market town with 30f. in his pocket, and that he had, pro bably been murdered to facilitate a robbery. It was proposed to carry the body to the house ; but the woman vehemently objected, saying that she dare not enter it if the corpse were there ; and she offered money to have it conveyed elsewhere. No notice was taken of her objection. On arriving at the house the sheets, mat tress, and the bedstead of deceased were found to be stained with blood ; as were also certain articles of dress of the mother and the son, the ceiling, walls, So. An axe, which had evidently been re cently washed, but which was still spotted with blood, was also found. It was then remembered that the old man had had constant quarrels with his wife and son ; and that the former had frequently ex pressed a wish to see him dead—the latter to leave home. They were both arrested. The woman shortly after confessed that she bad murdered the old man with the axe as he lay asleep, and that she had afterwards con veyed the body to the field ' • but she sol emn l y pro tested that her son knew nothing of what she had done. The son, on his part, said that he had b een awa k ened by hearing his father cry ; that on getting up he had seen his mother strikin g e , him on the h ea d w ith the axe, that all at once her strength had failed her, and she had cried, " take the axe and finish him ;” where upon he had struck him a tremendous blow on the head ,pith all his force, and had put an end to his life. The mother subsequently admitted that what her son had stated was true, and added that she had long resolved to get rid of her husband, as she hated him, and as living with him was insupportable to her. She further said that she had been actuated partly by avarice, inasmuch as the old man had determined on pay ing the penalty to prevent his son going for a soldier ; whereas she had said to the son, " Let us murder your father. We shall thereby save the money, as you will be exempt as a widow's son !" The jury declared both guilty, but found that there were extenuating circum stances in favour of the son. The court condemned tl.e woman to death, and her son to hard labour for life. They both heard the sentence unmoved.—Galignani. POSTAGE BETWEEN ENGLAND AND FRANCE.—There is reason to believe that the postal system between France and England, respecting which there have been so many complaints on the ground of the high rate of postage, and sonic anomalies that exist in it, is on the point of being reformed. We understand that the French Minister fir Foreign Affairs Dro,iynale Lhuvs. has received a letter from the Earl of Clarendon on the sub jloecrdt2, l and ieh t a l s iat re a f p e r p r r e o d v approving m of t t o h et the e u sugge s ti ons eisntii Minister of o f the e for implocliate consideration.—acilignani, Of all the sciences recently introduced to the world, that which has received the least practical attention is certainly sanitary science. It might, we think, really be said, that during the five years which have followed its nominal recognition it has made no advances at all. The machinery for the application of the theory has been devised, and even brought partially into existence ; that is to say, certain " Boards" have been established with functions presumed to bear upon this special work, and some few towns, perhaps, may have been made materially healthier than before. But, taking our population altogether, and measuring by the mass, we doubt whether the relative powers of pestilence and science are very different from what they were in 1849. To some extent these results are probably due to the extravagance with which theories of sanitary reform were at first designed and promulgated. Englishmen could not consent to be bound hand and foot and delivered over to the discretion of a Central Board ; and, when the terrors of the last epidemic had passed away, resolutions of amend- ment passed away too. But the chief obstacle to the promotion of sanitary science lies, we sus pect, in the vulgar simplicity of the science itself. It has no attractions of mystery, miracle, or depth. It depends on no recondite formula de duced from elaborate experiments. It requires no itinerant demonstrators, with their apparatus and displays ; it can be taught in ten minutes, ana practised as soon as taught. If its doctrines were ascertainable only from the mouth of a "medium,' or could be attributed by pious expositors to "Satanic agency," they would probably have be come exceedingly fashionable, and controversy itself would have aided to diffuse them. But, as it hap pens, they concern only the most common-place observances, and are neglected accordingly. We are simply told to clean out our cesspools, improve and extend our systems of drainage, admit the air of heaven into our dwellings, and discontinue the in terment of the dead among the abodes of the living. This is " sanitary science," and the very vulgarity of its precepts robs them of their force. It is the Scriptural story over again. If we had been bidden to do some great thing we should doubtless have done it, but we were merely directed to " wash, and be clean !" Yet nothing can exceed the certainty of the doc trine. Ordinary specifics are both fallible and par tial—not effective against many diseases, and not always aganist any ; whereas there is no species of epidemic against which common cleanliness cannot be practised with success. Eveti the inscrutable cholera, which seems to obey no laws but its own, and to pursue its capricious course through all the climates of the globe, is arrested and repulsed by these simple precautions. In many of its features it baffles ill the researches of medical skill, but at this point its peculiarities cease. In other respects it is a mystery - , but here it becomes a common-Place disease. We cannot tell how its poison is propa gated, how it acts, or how it is to be neutralised, but this we know for certain—that if we purify our streets and our habitations it will either never come or will be easily expelled. Look at the resolutions which we published yesterday as having been taken at Newcastle-upon-Tyne, where this in sidious pestilence, following its ancient track, seems to have once more appeared. What was it agreed to do ? To establish some wonderful appa ratus and mechanism of scientific power ? No. It was resolved " to stop the prevalent practice of throwing nightsoil out of the windows ;" to per form the work of scavenging early in the morning, instead of, "as at present," in the middle of the day ; to " prevent the sale of rotten fruit ;" to " remove filth and nuisances," and to wash out the dirtiest lanes. These, together with provisions for medical and charitable aid, constituted the " resolutions " of the authorities ; nor do we imagine that any more sensible decisions could have been adopted. But what does all this say for the complicity of the case, and what must be the condition of " sanitary science" when such arrange ments remain still to be made ? haAnve y bo been d would urged to imaginetakthat take against aga thenst pestilence precautions er we exceedingly disagreeable in themselves, and that convenienceee. But,e for y en thi if s th s e p re ec w ial e we were to be highly t axe d i n ma tt ers o f every -d ay re in n sur ot a i n u c c e h aag-Vittatdision asto be apprehended as that of cholera, would there be any harm in making our streets sweet and habit able ? Is it not a conclusion suggested by every principle of decency and propriety that we should find a better repository for the remains of the dead than those crowded " yards " with which we have surrounded our places of worship ? Do we require to be threatened with the horrors of a plague before we can be induced to supply our selves with pure water, and to turn this water t o its natural uses ? Should not all these things be done from instinct, if not by reason ? The functions of a " Board of Health" are really almost a stigma upon our national civilisation. It is quite deplo rable to think that in this 19th century we should require a special body of magistrates and officers to enforce the observance of the commonest and most necessary duties. Yet we see at Tynemouth that the Local Board of Health has only just now re ceived permission from the authorities to begin whitewashing and cleansing. We are fortunately escaping from the most sickly season of the year, and the colds of winter, which are rarely very backward in this climate, will soon succeed to the short sunshine of autumn. In fact we have already passed the period at which, four years ago, the epidemic attained its greatest height. But experience has plainly taught us, that the cholera is not a visitation recurring only at intervals of 20 years, and never see again till after the lapse of another such period. It has already lost the character which deprived it of some of its terrors, and we now see that it can localise itself as well in Europe as in India. Since 1848, indeed, it has never actually disappeared from the coasts of the Baltic, and we believe that, if statistics could be obtained, its operations would be detected in the northern capitals from that time to the present. It raged violently, though partially, in Prussia in 1850, and was devastating Russia throughout the whole of last year. Our own experience of the visitation was mercifully confined to a few months, but other countries have never entirely escaped it, and in places where it finds its natural aliments of filth and wretchedness, it may, perhaps, settle itself as permanently as the plague in Cairo. Exactly, however, in proportion as we have less cause for alarm should we be more active in our precautions. Our immunities, indeed, represent so many advantages of position against a formid able enemy, and we shall be wanting in duty if we omit to turn these to the best account. It cannot be said that the work is arduous. We are called upon to do nothing beyond what ought to be done without any such call. To fortify ourselves against a dangerous epidemic, we are merely re quired to put in execution the simplest rules of social economy—rules, be it observed, which are just as imperatively suggested by the ordinary con tingencies of life. It is not only pestilence which waits upon their infraction. Perhaps the cholera, indeed, is less to be dreaded than those ordinary diseases which do their work ceaselessly and in secret. A new danger alarms us into temporary wisdom, and we set our houses in order accordingly. When it has passed we relapse into apathy and un cleanliness, forgetting that fever is always at our sides, and that the precautions we neglect are preservatives against sickness in more shapes than one. DEATH PROM HYDROPHOBIA. —An old soldier, named Quittau, of Malzeville, department of the Meurthe, had a do g to which he was much attached , because it had several times saved his life. About eight days ago he fancied that the poor animal appeared likely to b . e stricken with hydrophobia, and he resolved to drown it. Having taken it to a river, he removed the muzzle, and it bit him in the leg. He paid no attention to the in jury, but i n a f ew d a ys after was attacked with hydro phobia, an d, a ft er m uch dreadful suffering, died.— Galignani. THE TEMPERANCE LEAGUE DEMONSTRATION.—The London Temperance League held its third annual ga thering yesterday, at the Surrey Zoological Gardens. A very large number of persons were assembled, and the children of the " Band of Hope " marched to the gar dens, headed by a military band, and under the leader ship of Mr. J. B. Gough, a popular temperance lecturer, from large, but the United e U w n se it ile e eo d emtb e„ States. On a rr i v i ng a t the gardens a Welcome—after teetotal e c r l e io w ris a t s e a rs br s i ti e n f g ad a . dress from Mr. Gough. The company then dispersed to amuse themselves with the usual recreations of the gar dens, but collected again at four o'clock, when the "Bands of Hope" sang som e a i rs, and a few boy and girl musicians and singers displayed some very preco cious acquirements, both in vocal and instrumental music. Mr. Gough then delivered a very long and ani mated address, embracing all the topies and arguments connected with total abqtinence, The ordinary attrac tions of the concert, fireworks, and storming of Chusan, were then enjoyed heartily by a very crowded, but as respectable and well ordered an assemblage, as could be met with anyvillere, Tames Hays, aged 35 years, an Irish labourer, in the employ. of Mr. Saint, a brickmaker, of Shepherd's-bush, was yesterday placed in tie dock of the Hammersmith Police-court, before Mr. Bead on , c harged on suspicion of having caused the death of his wife, Elizabeth Hays, by beating her about the head in a most brutal manner. Long before the opening of the court, a large number of persons, principally of the lower order of Irish, living in the neighbourhood, including men, women, and chil dren, had assembled in the road in front of the building, for the purpose of seeing the prisoner brought from the police station on Brook-green to the court to be examined, and by the time the accused was expected there could not have been less than 800 persons. Directly the pri soner was seen coming towards the court, in the custody of several constables, the crowd commenced shouting and yelling at him, and if it had not been for a large body of police of the T division, under the direction of Inspector Cooke,., violent hands would have begn laid upon tie prisoner by some of the women, who cast upon him, as he passed, all kinds of imprecations and threats ; and to prevent any disturbance from taking place the ac cused was at once removeL into the court, where he re mained' until the night c . aarges had been disposed of. His countenance was exceedingly pale ; but, beyond that, he displayed no signs of fear or contrition. About three o'clock he was put into the dock, and the case was then gone into. _ Mr. Martin, a solicitor, who had been instructed on behalf of the prosecution by the deceased's brother-in iaw, detailed the facts of the case, which will be found in the subjoined evidence, and added that the prisoner had not been living with his wife for some time past, but had been cohabiting with another woman on Notting hill. The deceased had lived in Kensington, and was in the habit of going over to her husband on Saturday night to receive what money he those to allow' - her for her maintenance. It was on one of those visits that the deceased received such injuries from her husband that caused her death on Sunday evening last. The first witness examined was Thomas Taylor, a la bourer, also in the employ of Mr. Saint, who deposed that about half-past eleven o'clock on Saturday night last he was in Shepherd's Bush market with the prisoner and his wife, and another man named George. He saw the prisoner knock his wife down twice with his fist. When she got up the second time she ran behind witness for protection. He told her to go from behind him, as he thought the prisoner might fancy he was harbouring his wife, and would attack him. She then went away, and the prisoner ran after her, and threatened with an oath that he would kick out her brains. He kicked at her several times, but witness believed he did not touch her with his feet. The prisoner also declared that he would do for her that night. The deceased ran through the market, and the prisoner followed after her. Mr. Beadon—Did you see anything more of them that night ? Serjeant Lowe informed his worship that the witness was locked up soon after for being drunk and riotous. The witness, in answer to further questions, said the prisoner was intoxicated at the time, but his wife was b qu a n i t d e t s o o broeoni. home,Witnesse heard and bei h m e ed deceased iatelyatr a u s o k her kher hu and. d knocked her down. Mr. Beadon —That was the answer, then, to her so licitation ? The witness—Yes, sir. Directly she made use of the words he struck her. Mr. Martin said, if the prisoner was remanded, he should be able to produce a witness who would prove, hearing the prisoner threaten to do for his wife a week ago. The prisoner said he had no questions to ask the wit ness, but commenced telling his story of the transaction. He was, however, stopped by his worship, who told him he would hear anything he had to say after the witnes ses had been examined. Edwardias George, al cal called and i ck id -m a h k e e r , corroborated inthe employ of Taylor sM. Saint, evidence iu every particular. The prisoner said his wife was blind drunk, and he tried to get her home. The two witnesses were recalled, and denied positively that the deceased was in any way the worse for liquor. George added to his testimony that he heard the wife say " You had better leave me alone and go home. The reason you don't leave me alone is because I have asked you for some money." Police-constable John Serle, No. 69, T. division, said —About 20 minutes past one o'clock on Sunday morn ing I was on duty near Shepherd's Bush market, and while standing close to the Royal Hotel I heard a noise opposite where the ground has been dug out for the foundations of some new buildings, as if some person was scrambling up the bank. I thought it was the con• stable on the beat, and I went across to the place to see if it was him. It was very foggy at the time, and I could scarcely see anything before me. I stood for a minute, and not hearing anything, I got underneath some railings and passed into the grounds. I then listened, but could not hear or see anybody, I then turned on my lantern, and after walking about 12 yards I saw the prisoner standing in front of me. I asked him what he did there, and he replied with an oath, "What business is that to you I" He appeared stupe tlhinfkouinngd fied at the time, and seemed to tremble very much, which I attributed to his having been lying down in the cold. He then turned his face to the spot where the deceased was afterwards found, and continued standing for a short time looking in the same direction. I told him that he must leave the place, as he had no business there, and I pointed to a spot where he could get out. I mo then bu t walked on turning few paces, round had not moved from the place. I then went back to him, and saw that he had gone further down, htheatwashe following to the place where the deceased was afterwards found, and I told him that if he did not quit the place I should be compelled to lock him up. He sighed, and shivered a good deal, which I still attributed to the fog and cold. He then went away, and I did not see him return. I stood a short time about the place, and not which was nearer hearing any noise, and thinking the prisoner had gone off, I came away, and heard nothing more until the deceased was found in the morning. She was discovered in one of the holes in the ground which had been thrown up for the foundation of a house, within six yards from the place where I saw the prisoner stand ing. If it had not been so foggy I must have seen the deceased. Mr. Beadon (to the prisoner) —Do you wish to ask the constable any question ? The prisoner—lf I was there I don't recollect it. James Tarling, police-constable, No. 264 T, said — Shortly after six o'clock on Sunday morning I was about going on duty, when I had my attention called to a field where foundations had been dug for some new house near the Royal Hotel, by some women, who told me a female was lying in one of the holes a pparently lifeless. I went to the spot and found the deceased quite insensible, and vomiting very much from the mouth. She was lying upon her cheek, which was very much bruised and swollen. I turned her over, and she then tried to open her eyes. She managed to open one, but the other she was quite unable to open in conse quence of it being so much swollen. I obtained the stretcher, and• with the assistance of another officer we removed her to the station at Brook-green. I remained with her until five o'clock in the afternoon, and during the whole time she never spoke. She was then re moved to the house occupied by her brother-in-law in Brook-green-place, and I understand she died within five minutes afterwards. Edward Lines, the brother-in-law of the deceased, said, about three o'clock on Sunday afternoon, in con sequence of the information he had received, he went after the prisoner and saw him in Shepherd's Bush. He told him the state his wife was in at the station, and he replied, " Thank God, he had nothing to do with it, for he had not seen her since eight o'clock the previous night." The prisoner also said, " She was then very drunk, and he persuaded her to go home." Mr. John Brown, a surgeon, stated that he first saw the deceased shortly after 7 o'clock on Sunday morning. She was then in a state of collapse, being cold and quite insensible. He did not at that time form any opinion as to whether she would recover, but when he saw her at half-past ten o'clock he thought she would not recover. He could not state the cause of her insensibility, as it might have been produced from drink or from a blow. She appeared to have received a violent blow on the right eye, and also on the lower jaw. The face was very much swollen, and it seemed to him that the ball of t he right eye had been struck. It must have been done by some He t. should fmoens round instrument, or by the fist of a man. be able to discover th e cause of death upon a examination of the body. Mr. Beadon inquired if the coroner had been written to, as it was necessary to hare a post-mortem examina tioi Inspector Cooke believed the beadle had forwarded the necessary information. Mr. Beadon then alluded to the state of the law, which prohibited him from ordering apost-mortem examination, although he had the accused in custody, and giving the power to the coroner to order an examination to be made when his proceedings were all taken in the absence of the person charged. Tarling said, when the prisoner was taken into cus tody he said if she (the deceased) got drunk and knocked herself about with a brick, he could not help it. Mr. Beadon said he sh ould remand the prisoner for a week, and in the interim a coroner s inquest would no doubt be held on the body, and if there was any fresh evidence it could then be heard, and by that time the cause of death would be known. The prisoner was then removed, and upon the van leaving the court he was again met with the shouts and yells of the crowd who remained outside the building until-its departure for the House of Detention. CHURCH RATES AT STOCSTON-ON-TEES.—In the Holy Trinity district of this town, a church rate, recently proposed, has, on an a ppeal to the parishionErg, been negatived by a very large majority—the numbers being for the rate 54, against it 191. The subject has created great excitement in the town, and the result of the contest has been hailed as a great victory by a considerable portion of the inhabitants. favourable ente There entered intoreport position wt congratulated hthea nEd a ment had been provisionally the tindia prospects proprietorso of the n Company n o fnodr et continu ing t e ak v i n e r g y It stated that an arrange the railway from Madras to the Western coast' a distance of about 400 miles, with branch lines to Banga lore and the foot of the Neilgherry-hills. A correspond ence between the . East India Company an d th e B oar d of Directors explains the terms of the new arrangement, and that 41 per cent. is guaranteed on the additional capital required to continue the railway to the western coast, estimated at 3,500,0001., as has already been guaranteed on the sum (500,0001.) required to execute the original or experimental line, the terms being in all respects the same. From the correspondence it appears that surveys are proceeding for another line, branching off from the main line and passing through Cuddapah and Bellary towards Poonab, to complete a line of rail way from Madras to Bombay. The directors are of opinion that the first-mentioned railway, with its two branches, may be completed within 5 years from next January, and that two portions of it—viz., from Madras to Vaniembady, a distance of 120 miles, and from the terminus on the western coast towards Coimbatore, another distance of 80 or 100 miles, may be brought into a profitably-working state at a much earlier period. The line of country through which the rail way will pass is said to be generally favourable. It is particularly so from Madras to Vaniembady, and on the western coast the country has a moderate rise towards Coimbatore, through the great break or chasm_ in the Western Ghauts, at Palghat, of about 1,000 feet in 55 or 60 miles, but so uniform and regular throughout that to the eye it appears almost level. From Palghat it again falls about 500 feet to the river Cauvery, and thence continues moderately favourable to Salem. The only obstacles of consequence to he anticipated are met with between Vaniembady and Salem, and between Vaniembady and Bangalore, where there are mountain passes to be traversed. There are several rivers of con siderable size to be crossed, as the Pallaur and Cauvery ; but these cannot be considered very formidable obstacles in a country where the construction of bridges is well understood, and where many fine bridges have already eastern the ea a r n ly d been built. It appea rs that the East India Com p an y con sider it highly desirable t hat the works should be he w tw ith ee a n view t the western coasts. The repo rt g oes on to state, that " the railway thus proposed w ill, when co m pleted, connect completion nd of ft theva various points, line the east and west coasts of the peninsula of India, opening up large tracts of richproductive .. and country, and passing near the military stations tary of Arcot and Vellore and the Neilgherry-hills, with a branch line to the large military station of Bangalore. Its value in a military and political point of view will be very great, and its advantages for commercial pur poses of the first importance. The monsoons, or stormy seasons, during which ships cannot approach the land without considerable danger, occur at different periods of the year on the east and west coasts of India ; so that during the season when storms prevail on one coast the weather is fine on .the other. A railway, therefore, which connects the two coasts must be of immense value to commerce, by providing a means of communication between the interior of the country and an open port on one side or other of the peninsula throughout the year. The traffic on the line is already large, and will no doubt rapidly increase with the facilities and stimulus which railway communication never fails to give to the deve lopment of the resources of every country into which it is introduced. In order as far as possible to give effect at the earliest period to the arrangements for the con tinuation of the line, the board propose immediately to raise the further capital of 500,0001. sterling, authorised by the company's deed of settlement, by the creation and issue of 25,000 shares of 201. each, of which an option of allotment will be given to the holders of original stock in the company in the proportion of one new for one original share. A deposit of 21. will be required to be paid on allotment of the new shares, and the remainder will be called up as arranged with the East India Com pany, in the proportion of about 25 per cent., or 51. per share per annum. In order further to carry out the arrangements with the East India Company, an act of Parliament will be necessary in the next session to in crease the capital of the company, and confer the neces sary powers for giving effect to the objects contem plated." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said it contained a long correspondence that fully de tailed the objects they had in view respecting the exten sion of the line, and the terms upon which the capital was to be raised. The first section of the line from Ma dras to Merril, now in course of construction, was 50 miles in length, and there could be no doubt that the prolongation of it would be very advantageous to the company. The line from Madras to the western coast would be about 400 miles in length ; and they would re collect that, from the commencement of the undertaking, they expected that the first section would be gradually prolonged into the interior, but they did not anticipate that they would have been called upon at so early a period to consider the expediency of the measure. There could be but one opinion on the subject—that railways must be long to be remunerative. The places they were to accommodate had no outlet in consequence of the bad roads, and therefore the resources of these districts remained undeveloped. The extension of the railway would produce important results in a military, political, and commercial point of view. The East India C om p a ny were desirous of affording them every facility to carry out the undertaking; they gave the company the land for nothipg, and guarantee d the proprietors 41 per cent. per annum on their outlay. The line would open up the interior where there were no roads at present, and would connect the military stations of Arcot and Vellore with Bangalore and the east and west coasts. It was known to every one who had resided in India that there were two monsoons or stormy seasons in the course of the year. The north-east monsoon commenced in October, and ended in December, during which time vessels could not approach the east coast, while at the same time the weather on the west coast was very fine, The western monsoon commenced in May or June and ended in Sep tember, and in like manner the ships could not approach the western coast, while they could easily approach the east coast. The railway stretching from coast to coast would therefore be of great value, not only in a political but in a commercial point of view. The cost of the line from Madras to the western coast, with branches to Bangalore and the foot of the Neilgherry-hills, would be 4,000,0001., including the 500,0001. for the first section, upon which the same amount would be guaranteed— namely, 41 per cent, per annum. To raise the capital they proposed, in the first instance, to issue one new share for each share now held in the company. to make up the capital to 1,000,0001., which was the ?amount authorised by Parliament. Before they could raise the remainder of the capital it would be necessary to obtain a new act, which they would apply for in the ensuing session, and, on obtaining it, they would issue to the proprietors six new shares for every one now held by them. He then moved a resolution to the effect that the report be received and adopted, and that the direc tors be requested to carry out the objects mentioned therein. Mr. ARBUTHNOT seconded the motion. Major COURT said, there was no doubt of the political importance of the railway, and, although it was intended to pass through military stations, it did not appear that it would pass through any large manufacturing towns. It was from the latter that a large traffic could be ex pected. The only object of the line in this respect was the transmission of raw produce to the east and west coasts. He thought they ought to have had some statistics with regard to the expected traffic. The ques tion was, whether the guarantee of the East India Com pany of 4i per cent. was a sufficient assurance to the shareholders that they would have a fair return on their outlay. He believed the line had not been surveyed, and therefore it was impossible for them to say what would be the cost of it, or whether the guarantee would cover the expenditure. They might also compromise the company by entering into a contract to make the line in five years, before they knew what works they would have to construct. He believed the guarantee was for a period of 25 years, and the length of the railway and branches would be 520 miles. If they did not make it in five years the guarantee would be worth nothing. The CHAIRMAN said, that the country had been sur veyed, but the surveys of the line of railway were not yet finished. They had stated it as their opinion that the line could be completed in five years, but they were not bound to construct it in that time. The contract had not been entered into, and the gua rantee was for 99 years, and would extend to the whole of their outlay. y. Major COURT said, the sharehol ders ought to have had a copy of the contract with the East India Company submitted to them for their consideration, to show whether the guarantee included the whole expense of the undertaking. the contract was o The CHAIRMAN said feoo t s h id at era th h e le d le o n c g u t m h, en a t relating to odtheshare. holders could see it at the office.

PARSONS thought it a most injudicious time to propose any addition to their capital. They pro posed in the first instance to double the capital of the shareholders, and afterwards to increase it eightfold. He thought the original line would give them an adequate return, but it was very doubtful whether the extension and branches would yield sufficient to pay interest on the outlay. Looking at the present state of the money market, he thought the proposal, if carried out, would be a deathblow to the undertaking. Instead of an in crease in the capital being an advantage it would be a great disadvantage. During the past eight months the Bank of England had doubled its rate of interest, and it was likely to be further increased. He concluded by an amendment to the effect that it was not expe dient at the present time to raise further capital, and that the proposal of the East I n di a Company be de ferred to some future time for consideration. The CHAIRMAN said, he quite agreed that the present moment was not the time to raise a large capital, but a certain proposal had been made to them of vital impor tance to their undertaking, and if they did not accept it there was another company ready co undertake what they proposed doing, and, if the amendment should be iearried, they must be prepared to give up what they had !been contending for for years. It was not proposed to tissue the whole of the shares, but only one share for each 'share at present held in the company, and upon which ; a deposit of only 2/. was required to be paid. After some observations from Captain Barker and other proprietors in favour of the extension line, Mr. ARBUTHNOT, the deputy chairman, said he thought the present pressure in the money-market would pass over, and when they required the money it would be raadily obtained. The present shareholders were not bound to take up the new shares, but he thought when they were allotted they would be very happy to do so Mr. A. BEATTIE thought there would be no difficulty in obtaining an extension of time for raising the money. It would probably be better to leave the matter in the hands of the directors, as they were entitled to the thanks of the proprietors for what they had done. The CHAIRMAN observed that it might not be in the carried The amendment nd as m q e u n i t ckl wa y s a s power of the directors to extend the time, but, having heard the opinions of only a few of the proprietors against the prop osa l, it m i g ht happen that the majority were in favou r o f secon di ng th e w i s h es of the East India then pos put sib and negatived by a large Company, w h o were anx i ous t h a t th e ra ilway should be majority, and th e or i g i na l mot i on was carr i e d.

Last night an inquest was held by Mr. W. Payne,ithe coroner, and a numerous jury, at Guy's Hospital, on the body of William Jenner, who died in that institu tion Captain Brighton,f r p t o a m i injuries Barlow,a nd South received enk Coastdnbae ynw superintendentcoßa ef tacollisioneuwe erßailway, London netgihctneet honesoenenLdit South-Easternt nh, a h o genn e wuddh L 2i or o yn o t n . h vna s o od n August last.

He his fireman. On the 27th of August, at about a quarter before five o'clock in the afternoon, their engine was at Coldblow, near New Cross. They were coming from Deptford-wharf on a branch line. They had started from Deptford-wharf at about twenty minutes to five, with a train of coal and stone. They had proceeded about half a mile when they saw a danger signal toward New Cross, on the side next to the Greenwich Railway. When he saw that, he opened the whistle of his engine, and shut off the steam. Shortly afterwards the dis tance signal was turned, signifying that it was all right, and he went on. Having passed that signal, he went on to the bridge, where he saw a man with the "all right " signal in his hand. Having proceeded under the Brighton Railway, a man came out giving a signal to stop, but they were then going at the rate of fifteen or sixteen miles an hour. This man gave the signal with his hand. Upon this he shut off the steam, opened the whistle, and told the fireman to put on the breaks, as he was afraid there was something the matter. Shortly afterwards he told the fireman to jump off, having reversed the engine, as he saw a train of empty carriages on the line. The railway is a single branch line, and these carriages were ahead of them on the same line. When he first saw them, they were not more than 40 yards from them. The fireman did not jump off, but witness did. Although he had reversed the engine, there was still a good deal of way on the train behind. He saw his engine run into the train of empty carriages as soon as he had jumped off. He got up to the engine as quickly as he could, when he saw the fireman on the tender box bleeding. The guard of another train got him down, placed him on a carriage door, and he was taken to the hospital. The footboard of the tender was smashed from the concussion. The empty carriages were on the sidings where the trains are made up. He could not tell what the first danger signal was for. The first he knew of an obstruction on the line was when he saw the empty carriages. There was an engine to the empty carriages. There is a curve of the line there. The man who gave the danger signal was on the Brighton line, near the carriages. He could not see for more than 30 yards from the place where he stood. The Coroner—Could he have any means of knowing that a train was coming till he saw it ? Witness —I think not. The Coroner—Have you any idea how the firman sus tained his injury 1 Witness—The footplate was smashed, he supposed, by the knocking together of the engine and tender. One wheel of the engine was off the line, and many of the carriages were broken. Witness ri(mained on the engine till it came within two or three feet of the car riages. He just saw it dash into the train, and that was all. By a juror—lt was only a line for goods and coal. Joseph Eastwood said he was foreman of the train makers at New-cross. He first saw the coal train come under the arch. It was the train that Boardman was driving. Witness was on the engine attached to the train of empty carriages. The engine had come from the shed at the top of the wharf; but the carriages had come from the siding at Coldblow. The train was com posed of passenger carriages that they were going to put on another siding. As they were going out of the siding the engine slipped, and they were obliged to go back some distance on the main line to get a better start, and had but just stopped when the coal train came up. He could not see the coal train until it had got under the bridge. They put on the distance signal before they went down to the place where they were shunting. The -man_at-the bridge could see it, to show that the line was obstructed. There was a correspond ing signal to work further down the line. He could not tell the reason why the distance signal was taken off, because the line was not clear. It was turned off some distance up the line. As soon as he saw the wharf train he told the driver, and he jumped off the the engine. The cause of the accident appeared to arise from some person having turned off the danger signal. The signal being copied by the man on the South-Eastern line would mislead the coal train. John Stevens, bridge-lifter at the Surrey Canal, said he was stationed there. He saw the danger signal at New Cross, and he also put on the danger signal. He saw nothing of the coal train when the danger signal was on. It was on for 20 minutes, and it was then taken off. He could not tell the cause of the danger signal being on. After it was taken off he saw the coal train go by, and saw no more of it until he heard a crash, and then he ran towards it. When he saw the coal train pass by he did not know that there was a train of empty carriages on the same line. He did not know whose duty it was to attend to the signal at New Cross. He saw the danger signal one hundred yards from New Cross. Eastwood was recalled, and he said there had jus before been a Dover train on the line, and when it went out he told Moore, the guard of it, not to put the danger signal off. He could not tell if it had been turned off or not, as the signal was too far off. Stephen Moore, guard on the South-Eastern Railway, said he was with a train on the siding on the 27th of August, but he saw the train of empty carriages. The driver did not tell him not to take off the danger signal, and never spoke to him. Eastwood reiterated that he was the man he spoke to, and told him not to take off the danger signal. He was taking trucks off, and having to pass through two pair of points, he held them for him. He saw no person touch the danger signal. He saw Moore go away soon after with the South-Eastern train. That was before the accident occurred. If he had left the signal on, he should have turned it off when he had finished his work. He did not know who turned it off. Captain Barlow said, as allusion had been made to the South-Eastern Railway, he begged to take exception to the evidence, as these signals were on the Brighton line, and were not under the control of the South-Eastern Company. William Barkwright, an engine driver, said he was with Moore when they were getting some trucks from the siding. He never heard Eastwood say anything to him about the train. Moore turned the danger signal on whilst they were at work. Moore turned the danger signal off because they had done their work. East wood's train was shunting about when he turned off the signal. Edington took care of the signals. If he had to go away for any purpose, the signal took care of itself. (Great surprise.) The Coroner—lf Eastwood was shunting about with his engine, how came Moore to turn off the danger ? ° Witness—Because he left the signal as he found it. The Coroner—But why, if another train was about ? Witness—Because he supposed that Eastwood would attend to that. Moore turned it off because he had done with it. The Coroner—Then you knew that another train was about, and as Moore went and turned the signal off, do you suppose it was Eastwood's duty to go and turn it on again ? Witness—Yes, sir. To a juror —There is no signalman there, nor has there ever been one. Mr. J. Bayfield, house surgeon, said the deceased was brought into the hospital with a compound fracture •f the left leg, and also the thigh on the same side. He went on well for some days, but in consequence of in ternal injuries he became weaker, and died on Saturday last. _ _ The coroner then addressed the jut) , at some length, and said that if they considered there was criminality against Moore, he would adjourn the case for further evidence, but if they thought it was only a case of want of judgment, they would return such a verdict as the nature of the case required. The jury said, although they considered the death of the deceased was accidental, yet they were of opinion that blame attached to the company in not making better arrangements. Mr. Farmer said that arrangements had already been ma de, as experience had shown the necessity for a man being appointed whose sole duty it would be to look after the signals at this part of the line. The inquir . Aon terminated. PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. 12. The newly-built steam (screw) corvette Malacca, in =nand of Lieut. Price, of the Cleopatra, and officered and manned with 60 men from that ship, arrived at Spithead last night at sunset from Moulmein, to obtain her engines. She is officered by Lieut, J. A. Price, Assistant-Surgeon C. F. Williams, Acting Mate W. H. Nurse, Second Master R. Smith, Passed Clerk 1V. ;, ,F. Lima, Midshipmen R. Adams and the Hon. R. Moreton;: Mr. Richard Sturgess, master, came home passengefiii her, on promotion. She sighted the Channel fleet off Cape Clear on the Bth inst., under canvas, and on Saturday, at 5 p.m., showed her number to the Blen heim, 60, Capt. the Hon. F. T. Pelham, which ship they saw take in sail in most "beautiful style." The news at the Cape was the same as when the Contest left that station. On her passage to England, the Malacca proved herself an astonishingly fast sailer ; she passed other ships on her passage " as if they were at anchor," but nothing passed her. She is a most capa- ciously proportioned vessel, and, instead of carrying 8, she would easily carry 18 guns. .._ The Barracouta, 6, paddle-sloop, Commander George Parker, bad a survey held upon her on Saturday, con, sisting of Captain Shepherd, of the Victory ; Dr. Sir John Richardson, medical inspector of the Royal Naval Hospital at Haslar ; Dr. Baker, of the Neptune :Dr. 111‘Donald, of the Victoria and Albert ; and Dr. Babing ton, to investigate the causes of an abominable and sickening stench from below. The result of the survey, which was very properly called for by the surgeon of the Barracouta (Dr. Babington), was an order that the vessel be cleared and examined internally, which she came into harbour this day to have done. It is said she goes to China, but we imagine not at present, as circum stances which we are not at liberty to mention may detain her officers in England for some time. The Plumper, 9, screw corvette, Commander Whar ton, was paid advance wages at Spithead to-day by Rear-Admiral Superintendent Fanshawe, C. 8., and the clerks of the pay-office, and she leaves this evezing or at daylight to-morrow for the Coast of Africa statioh., The Contest,l2, sailing sloop, was laid up in ordinary this morning. .... The Banshee dispatch packet, Lieutenant-Commander Hosken, left this harbour for Portland, to attend upon the Lords of the Admiralty and the officers of the Ord nance this morning. ... - The Antelope, 3, paddle vessel, Lieutenant Young, Left Spithead this afternoon for the coast of Africa. PEMBROKE. The Caesar has been undergoing the repairs rendered necessary by the severe straining she received, and has been in the shipwrights' and caulkers' hands. More diagonal riders and knees have been added, and the ves sel refastened where she had given way and opened, and there is every reason to believe that she will prove as strong as before. A thorough recaulking is being given, a body of caulkers being sent from Devonport to assist. When on the way some of the butts opened to the ex tent of nearly an inch, but they have closed again in dock. A party of seamen-riggers have been sent round in th Magicienne, Captain Fisher, in order to rig out and navigate the Casar to Portsmouth. Before the close of the month she will be ready to be taken to her destination. THE MEDEA COURT-MARTIAL. By letters and papers from the West India station to the 30th ult., we have the result of the Medea court martial, which is looked for with so much interest in the navy. It appears that Commander J. C. Bailey, of the steam-sloop Medea, had brought his First Lieu• tenant and Chief Engineer (Messrs. Williams and Mur ray) to trial for insubordinate conduct, the first -named officer upon six charges : " 1. For neglect of duty on the passage from Eng land to Havannah, between the 17th of February and the 24th of March, 1853. "2. For insubordinate conduct about the 17th of March. "3. For disrespectful conduct about the 18th and 22d of March. " 4. For neglecting to perform his duty, and insubor- dinate conduct about the 21st of March. " 5. For disrespectful conduct about the 10th of April. "6. For unofficer-like and insubordinate conduct about the 26th of May." Mr. Murray, the engineer, was charged with neglect of duty and disrespectful conduct. Both officers were tried on board the Pyramus re ceiving-ship, at Halifax. Lieutenant Williams was acquitted, with an admonition to be more respectful to his commander in future ; and Mr. Murray was fully acquitted. These officers then turned the tables upon the commander, and Lieutenant Williams then brought the following charges against him : _ _ "1. For that Commander John Crawshay Bailey, being in actual service and full pay in the fleet, and in command of Her Majesty's steam-sloop Medea, did, on or about the 18th of March, 1853, after Lieutenant Thomas Drinkwater Williams's complaining to the said commander, conduct himself in an unofficerlike manner towards me, tending to bring me into contempt with the officers and ship's company. "2. For that the said commander did, on or about the 22d of March, 1853, at Havannab, conduct himself in an oppressive and overbearing manner towards me, the said Lieutenant T. D. Williams, in having superseded me from the usual duties devolving on the senior lieutenant, formally on the quarter-deck, in consequence of my giving to him, for the senior officer, a letter requesting an inquiry into my conduct. "3. For that the said commander did, on the 26th of March, 1853, conduct himself in an oppressive, over bearing, and unofficerlike manner, in compelling me, the said Lieutenant T. D. Williams, by order, to sign the ship's log, such log not being a correct copy of the deck or rough log. "4. For that the said commander did, on or about the 28th of March, 1853, at Havannah, conduct himself towards me the said Lieutenant T. D. Williams in an oppressive and overbearing manner, in having repri manded me on the quarter-deck for an alleged offence, in the presence of part of the officers and ship's com pany, without any previous investigation. "5. For that the said commander did, on or about the 28th of March, 1853, at Havannah, conduct himself in an oppressive and overbearing manner, in having placed me in close arrest for an alleged offence, after holding a partial investigation, and deducing conclusions therefrom quite contrary to the evidence given, I, the said Lieutenant T. D. Williams having denied the charge ; and that the said commander, John Crawshay Bailey, did enter, or cause to be entered, the same falsely in the log. "6. For that the said commander did, on or about the 6th of April, 1853, conduct himself in an oppres sive and overbearing manner, in confining me, the said Lieutenant T. D. Williams, to my cabin for the space of ten days for an unintentional breach of etiquette, not withstanding I had verbally, on the quarter-deck, and afterwards in writing, apologized for the same. "7. For that the said commander did, on or about the 2d of May, 1853, conduct himself towards me, Lieutenant T. D. Williams, in an unofficerlike manner, in having sent me an improper message, such message ten ling to bring me into contempt with the officers and ship's company. "8. For that the said commander did, on or about the 23i1 of May, 1553, at sea, conduct himself towards me, the said T. D. Williams, in an oppressive and un officerlike manner, in refusing to take notice of a com plaint of insolence to myself, when reported by me through an officer of the watch, such tending to encou rage disrespect towards myself. " 9. For that the said commander did, on or about the 26th of May, 1853, at sea, conduct himself towards me, the said Lieutenant T. D. Williams, in an oppres sive and overbearing manner, in confining me to my cabin for an alleged offence, and refusing, in an un officerlike and ungentlemanly tone, to allow me to ex plain the circumstances. 10. For that the said commander did, on or about the 28th of May, 1853, conduct himself towards me, the said Lieutenant T. D. Williams, in an oppressive and overbearing manner, in ordering by memorandum that no one in the ship was to hold any communication with me except the surgeon, gun-room steward, and my ser vant, without his (Commander J. C. Bailey) giving me any reason for such order, and in keeping me in soli tary confinement for the space of 28 tidys, from the 28th of May to the 22d of June, and only releasing me there from when advised of the necessity for so doing by the surgeon. 1 11. For the said comman d er did , on or a b out t h e 22d of June, 1853, at Port Royal, conduct himself in an oppressive and overbearing manner to me, Lieutenant T. D. Williams, in continuing to refuse me the society of my messmates, although recommended the said society by . the surgeon for the benefit of my health, and not withstanding the expressed wish of Captain Walter Reid, senior officer at Port Royal. " 12. For that the said commander did, on or about the 16th and 22d of June, 1853, continue himself towards me, the said Lieutenant T. D. Williams, in an oppressive manner in suppressing or not transmitting letters on her Majesty's service, forwarded by me, through him, to the senior officer at Port Royal. " 13. For that the said commander did, between the dates of the 22d of March aid the sth of July, 1853, conduct himself in a general unofficerlike manner to. wards the officers of the said steam -shi p Medea, tending to bring them into contempt, and to produce a general discontent."
