SAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. SOUTH WALES The eighteenth half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of the South Wales Railway Company was held yester day, at the Paddington Station, Mr. C. R. M. Talbot in the chair. The following report was read by the Secretary : " 1. The directors are enabled, with much satisfaction, to report a steady and material increase in the traffic (lu ring the half-year ending the 30th of last June. The revenue receipts during that period show an increase of 1601. per mile over those of the corresponding period of 1852. " 2. The reference to Sir William Cubitt to determine the amount to be paid to the Great Western Company for the supply of rolling stock not having been concluded, an estimated amount of 23,0001. has been charged for the supply of that stock, and the balance of 32,0111. 16s. 4d. available for dividend is, therefore, subject to any alteration which the result of this reference may ren der necessary. 3. The balance arising from revenue during the past h a il-year is such that the directors can recommend the payment of a dividend as the rate of 2 per cent. per annum, amounting for the half-year to 24,066/. 7s. 4d. This dividend will leave a reserve of 7,9451. 95., being an increase of 1,5851. Os. 11d. upon that of the preceding half-year. " This state of things, the result of the working of the least profitable half of the year, and the fact that the traffic receipts for the first six weeks of the current half-year exceed by nearly 90 per cent. those of the corresponding period of 1852, cannot fail to be satisfactory to the pro _ . - "5. The expenditure of capital, amounting, during the half-year, to 146,641/. 11s. lid., has been incurred chiefly on the main line of railway, the Cardiff Junction with the Taff Vale Railway, on the Forest of Dean branch. "6. To assist in satisfying the large and increasing de mand for trucks, caused by the extension of the merchan dise traffic throughout the line, your directors have thought it right to contract for a limited number of trucks avail able for general purposes, and a sum of 3,5291. 9s. 4d. ap pears as a charge on capital en this account. " 7. The works between Carmarthen and Haverfordwest, a distance of about 30 miles, are proceeding rapidly towards completion. The earthwork, bridges, &c., are constructed for a double line of rails, but the directors, having regard to the present high price of labour and materials, and to the fact that until the main line shall be completed in its integrity to the sea the traffic west of Car marthen will be thereby sufficiently accommodated, have deemed it expedient for the present to limit the permanent way to a single line of rails. 8. The extension from Haverfordwest to Milford Haven is in progress. "9. It is with satisfaction that your directors can in form you that the Eastern Steam Navigation Company, proposing in the first instance to trade to India, and the Australian Direct Steam Navigation Company via Panama, both of which have obtained charters of incorporation, have, after mature c onsideration, fixed upon Milford Haven as their'port of departure and arrival. " 10. In the last session of Parliament the Milford Haven Docks Company obtained an act for the construc tion of extensive docks at Pennar, on the southern side of the Haven, and an act was obtained by your directors en larging the time for the construction of the Pembroke branch of the South Wales line and extending it to the proposed docks, and the opportunity was taken of devia ting the branch line by carrying it considerably nearer to the town of Tenby. " 11. In reference to the Pembroke branch, your direc tors have to report that they have agreed with eminent and substantial contractors for the completion of that branch and the extension to the docks at Pettnar by Decem ber, 1855 (being eight months within the time enjoined by the act), on the following terms, which they trust will be satisfactory to the proprietors, and which will be found substantially to meet the assurance given to them at the Wharncliffe meeting held on the Ist of July last—viz.,— " That the contract sum of 290,000/. shall be paid by the creation and issue of shares or stock entitled to interest payable only out of the earnings of this portion of tha line, not exceeding 5 per cent. per annum. "`That the line shall be worked jointly by the Great Western and South Wales Companies, at certain fixed per centage upon the gross receipts. " That the company shall have the power at any time to exchange such special shares or stock for ordinary shares, or to pay off the amount in cash, and shall be bound, if required by the contractors, to effect such exchange when the ordinary shares shall have remained above par for a period of at least six months, provided that at the same time a sum of at least 100,000/. shall have been ex pended on the Milford Haven Docks.' " ' 12. Thus, while the construction of the Pembroke branch is insured as a feeder to the main line, and secu rity obtained for the making of the docks at its sea ter minus, the company cannot be called upon for the capital (except so much as will be necessary for land and stations) until its pecuniary position shall have become much im proved. .„ . " 13. The directors of the Great Western Company have agreed, upon the termination of the arrangement with the contractors, to take a lease of the branch, payine , an addi tional fixed rent equal to 4 p er cen t. upon one -third of its cost in respect of one-third of the profits. " 14. The company also obtained acts in the last session of Parliament for making a short deviation in the Forest of Dean Railway, for leasing the new works to the Great Western Railway Company, and for enabling the conver sion of the mortgage or bond debt of the company into perpetual annuities or preference debenture stock. " 15. The applications for an extension of time for mak ing the Swansea Valley Railway and the Monmouth lines were refused by Parliament; and your directors were com pelled to withdraw the bill for extending the railway to the docks in course of construction at Swansea in conse quence of the opposition which they experienced from the dock company. " 16. ''flte - Llynvi Valley Railway Company, already an important contributor of traffic to the South Wales Rail way, has obtained powers for improving its line, and con verting a portion of it into broad gauge ; and the South Wales Mineral Railway Company has also obtained an act for making a railway from the South Wales Railway at Britonferry through an extensive mineral district to Glan corrwg. " 17. In conclusion, your directors congratulate the proprietors on the improved position of the company's affairs, and express their confident reliance on increased prosperity and the receipt of satisfactory interest on the capital expended when sufficient time shall have elapsed for the full development of the ample resources of the dis trict through which the South Wales Railway passes." The CHAIRMAN said, they must admit that, on the whole, considering the recent nature of the undertaking, the report was a most satisfactory one. With regard to the traffic that had accrued during the half-year ending the 30th of June, he was happy to say that it showed a satisfactory increase ; and that with regard to the traffic now going on, so far as it was ascertained, it was still more satisfactory, being double that of the corresponding perk:id of last year. (Hear, hear.) This traffic, they must remember, had so increased without any m a t er i a l development of the mineral traffic of the line, which it was expected would be increased to a very considerable extent. At neither end of the line had they any facili ties for a large mineral traffic, and a long time must elapse before those facilities could be brought to perfec tion. At present they were making arrangements to deliver to the Southampton steamers at that port coals taken from the Monmouth and Glamorganshire mines. They would be carried by way of Basingstoke, and would add materially to the business on the line. They were again able to declare a small dividend, and though it was only 2 per cent. per annum, he had good grounds for saying that it would be the smallest dividend they would ever receive. (Hear.) He had no doubt that when he again addressed them he would be able to announce a larger dividend ; but what was now offered was double that which they received in February last, then 2 per cent. per annum it was made from the accumulated money of 12 months, whereas in the present case it was from the six months accumulations only. (Hear, hear.) He believed, with regard to Milford Haven, that some of the largest steam companies in the world would fix upon that port as their terminus. He had become a director in two of those companies, and had done all he could to promote this object, for which he was sure he would receive the approbation of the proprietors ; and he had the satisfaction to state that two companies (the Eastern Steam Navigation Company and the Australian Direct Steam Navigation Company yid Panama) would soon be in a position to commence operations with Mil ford Haven as their port of arrival and departure. The attention of st eam b oa t compan i es h a d b een drawn to the great advantages of using anthracite as fuel ; and the only reason that why the arti c l e was n o t generally em ployed was, the fire- gra t es o f s t eam -b oa t f urnaces were not a d apted for burning that description of coal. But this difficulty would, no d ou bt , soon b e overcome, as the great es t advantages were derived f r om the u s e of of G rea t B r it a i n i n w hi c h th a t coal was to obtained was Pembrokeshire and Gla rnorganshire, and Before they would possess a mo. world, ''llopoly of it over the w had been in communicatitone:wirn-ith offic(elirseaorithheeanra.)vyllone this subject, who bore to the great advan ta,ges of this coal in the Way oTlYcleanliness and other wise, and there could be no doubt that it would be royal navy when adopted throughout the whole of the to its use. ever the engineers could accustom themselves All the bills they had before Parliament havdb out with therxception of the Pembroke branch, thrown gave a reluctant assent to those bills, he could not h be expected to express much The diet regrreetaotrs hadthis rdeosunlet.allTtliit ye e were self-defence bills. could do in the way of self-defence, and now they must submit to defeat, and leave to those parties who were successful the loss which would accrue from their under! ugh ) With regard to the For of takings. (A la , Dean, the mineral produce there was Crown property, and consisted, he believed, of the largest quantity of coal to be found in any mineral basin of the size as in the kingdom ; but, like all Crown property, it was o managed than any private property could be. (Hear , hear. As a minera l proprietor he should be ashamed to manage his property in the same way : and the reason of this mismanagement was obvious —the Commission of W oods and i Forests was a political body, going in and out with the Ministry, and therefore it was impossible the property could n be thoroughly attended to. Now, he did not fee inclie to benefit the Crown property at t he expense l of that company. The Crown ought to bring the traffic to them, and not ask them to be at the expense of doing so. He had no hesitation in saying that if he had that property he could save to the community hundreds of thousands per annum by b e tt er managemen t. In conclusion, he might say, generally, that their company was in a most flourishing condition—a condition far more flourishing than he had ever ventured to anticipate. (dear, hear.) He then moved that the report be received and adopted by the proprietors. Some conversation followed, in th e course o f which Major COUR T complained that it was impossible to judge of the report from the short time which had elapsed since it came into their hands, and proposedl that it should stand over till the next half part of it w-yli9Ji y r ; f neeting, with the exception of that to the divi dend. Ultimately the proposal was ref erred n, and the motion for receiving the report was agreed withdra wn, Mr. RIDGWAY pointed out the advantages to, Mil ford Haven possessed over Southampton, Liverp ee h l Mil other ports with regard to communication with America. On the motion of the Chairman a dividend o f 2 per cent. per annum was declared, and The meeting then separated, WEST LONDON. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern, Mr. S. Bird in the chair. The report stated that the directors, having so recently reported to the proprietors at their special meeting the details of the arrangement made with the London and North- Western Railway Company, had now only to con gratulate the proprietors upon the position of affairs, and to assure them that no effort would be spared on their part to accomplish a finally satisfactory result. During the half-year there had been an increase in the total traffic on the canal of 862 tons, but there had been a decrease in the traffic to the railway of 410 tons, and from the railway of 40 tons. The capital account showed that 296,5761. had been received, including 5071. during the half-year. The disbursements amounted to 294,0211. The assets of the company were nil, except the costs re lating to the litigation with the London and North-West ern Railway Company ; and by the terms of arrange ment entered into with the directors of that company all questions as to costs incurred in the actions between the two companies, and the costs of the proposed reference and award, were to be settled by the arbitrators. The assets were—cash in hand, 1,7301. ; canal tolls outstand ing, 4331. ; amount due from private individuals, 825/. ; due from North-Western Company, "as alleged by that company," 446/. ; and various other claims for surplus land, &c., the value of which is not yet ascertained. The report was adopted, and the proceedings termi nated with a vote of thanks to the chairman and the board of directors. yDeslteßrdEaCyTthLeolrthOhNalfA.yNeaDdyPmoeßetTinSgMoOfUthTiHs .com pany was held at the London . Tavern—Mr. W. A. Wilkinson, M.P., in t he r. The report sta t e d that since the last meeting th e ac t for incorporating the Portsmouth Railway Company had passed. The line selected by that company began at Godalming and terminated at Havant, b e t ween w hi c h p l ace s it was almost identically the same as that granted to this company in 1846. The promoters endeavoured to obtain from the Legislature powers to wind up the affairs of this company, but these powers the committee of the House of Commons refused to insert in their act. The session had therefore passed without relief to this company. The solicitors had intimated that the sum received for arrears of calls represented the greater portion of the amount they thought recoverable. No new claim had been made on the undertaking during the last six months. One of the claims then pending had been compromised for a moderate sum. The two other claims in litigation had both been proceeded with. That of Mr. Webb, in which the Lords Justices decided in favour of the company, the plaintiff had car ried by appeal to the House of Lords, where it must be eventually decided, but that decision might not be given for some months. The other claims would probably not be decided for a still longer period. Until they were adjudicated or arranged, the directors did not think it expedient that any course should be pursued. Should, however, any circumstance arise before the next meeting to render it necesssary, the proprietors would be called together and consulted. Mr. S. Laing and Sir R. W. Carden retired from office, but were re-eligible as direc tors. The receipts for the half-year to the 30th of June last amounted to 1,3261., and the disbursements to 1,3591. The total receipts from the commencement amounted to 149,0541., and the disbursements to 122,0551., leaving a balance in hand of 26,9991. The CHAIRMAN said, all they could now do was to wait patiently until next session to get powers to wind up and settle and divide the surplus, and it was not likely there would be any other claims against the com pany than those stated in the report. apr THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY' EVENING, AUGUST 27, 185 3, WHITEHAVEN AND FURNESS. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Guildhall-chambers, Basinghall street—the Earl of Lonsdale in the chair. The report stated that the gross receipts from traffic during the half-year amounted to 5,005/., and for the corresponding period of 1852 to 4,7441., showing an in crease of 2601. While the line continues in its present isolated position, and the earnings entirely dependent upon the traffic of an agricultural district, it cannot par ticipate in the benefits which railways generally have de rived from the great increase of trade and the general prosperity of the country. The Ulverston and Lancaster line may, by ordinary exertions, be completed and opened for traffic within two years from the present date. The coast line will then be extended to Lancaster, and this company's line will become the natural route for the traffic between West Cumberland and the southern por tion of the kingdom. The total expenditure on capital account to the 30th of June last amounted to 414,8271., outstanding claims for land to 4,5001., and claims for works to 12,8001. Total cost of land, works, and rolling stock, 422,1271. The capital raised by shares amounts to 257,632/ ; and on mortgage, to 124,9231. ; together 382,5651.; which, deducted from the preceding amount, shows a deficiency of capital to the extent of 49,5621. For the purpose of meeting this deficiency the directors obtained an act in the late session autho rising the company to raise 25,0001. by the creation and issue of shares bearing a rate of dividend not exceeding 6 per cent. and having a preference over the other shares in the company ; and also to raise 30,0001 by the re-issue of a portion of the forfeited shares, having the same dividend and preference. The act also authorises the company to lay down tramways to the harbour at Whitehaven and the harbour of Ravenglass. The es timated expense of the former does not exceed 1,0001. The amount of capital authorised to be raised was 499,9331. ; the amount received 381,265/. ; leaving 118,667/. not received. The revenue account for the half-year ending the 30th of June last showed that 5,005/. bad been received and 3,1741. expended, leaving a balance of 1,8311. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said it was not very favourable, and the traffic could not be expected to improve much until there was an outlet to the south. As to the preference shares, he would take his proportion, and he believed he was the largest shareholder in the company and he hoped that others would do likewise. . Resolutions were then passed adopting the report, and re-electing the retiring directors and auditors. The meeting was then made special, and the directors were authorised to raise 50,001. by the issue of 5,000 101. preference shares to be entitled to 51 per cent. per annum, subject to redemption at par at the end of 10 years. The preference shares are not to be entitled to arrears of dividends in case the net revenue, after pay ing interest on loans, should not be sufficient to pay the full amount in any year. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE PAST WEEK. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCIIIT.—LIVERPOOL. (Before Mr. Justice Erle.) McNAUGHTEN AND OTHERS V. THE MAYOR OT LIVERPOOL AND OTHERS. This was an action brought by the plaintiffs, who are the proprietors of the extensive calico-printing, dye, and bleach works, known as the Birkare Works, near Chor ley, against the mayor, aldermen, and burghers of Liverpool, and Messrs. Howell and Son, who are con tractors under the corporation, to recover damages for the injury which they have sustained in the bleach and printing-works, by reason of the defendants rendering impure the water which the plaintiffs used in their works. The defendants pleaded not guilty, a denial that the plaintiffs had a right to the water, a denial that they rendered the water impure, and a justification under the Liverpool Waterworks Act of 1847. Sir Fitzroy Kelly (who was specially retained), Mr. Hill, Q.C., and Mr. Cleasby, appeared for the plaintiffs ; the Attorney-General for the County Palatine, Mr. Cow ling, and Mr. Milward, appeared for the corporation ; and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins for Messrs. Howell and Son, the contractors. The hearing of this case lasted the whole of Wednes day. At the sitting of the Court on Thursday the case was settled, an arrangement having been come to, by which it was agreed that the jury should be discharged from giving a verdict upon all the issues, except that of the justification, which should be found for the defendants. Each party to pay their own costs • the plaintiffs to give up all present demands on the defendants ; the defend ants to use the stream, giving notice, if possible, of their intention to do so, and if the plaintifs should hereafter complain that they suffered injury by the defendants' use of the stream, then the question to be referred to an arbitrator, who should decide whether any injury existed, and if so, what damage the defendants should pay.

GUILDHALL.—PEEJUEY : MITCHELL V. PRINCE OF ARMENIA.—A gentleman attended before Mr. Al derman Finnis, accompanied by Mrs. Mitchell, to apply, on that lady's behalf, for a summons or warrant, which ever might be deemed necessary, against Sarah Sich, who gave evidence at the trial of Mitchell against the Prince of Armenia, for wilful and corrupt perjury. The gentleman stated that the trial took place on the Bth of July last, in the Court of Queen's Bench, Guildhall; on which occasion a verdict was given against the Prince— damages 7501. The applicant said he had had the honour of the Prince's acquaintance prior to the trial, and knew him to be a very honourable man. He also knew Mrs. Mitchell to be an honourable lady, and be lieved that the charge got up against her was a most foul conspiracy. He was prepared with witnesses, who would be able to contradict the most material point in the whole case, and put the matter in its proper light. The gentleman said he had enjoyed the confidence of Mr. Mitchell both before and after the trial, and thought his conduct unimpeachable; and, being the friend of all parties, he was making this application with a view to check the proceedings taken in the ecclesiastical court to obtain a divorce. The husband had been drawn into the conspiracy innocently enough, and the appli cant anxiously hoped to be able to bring him and Mrs. Mitchell together again, and pave the way to a reconciliation. The assignment of perjury would be grounded on that part of Sarah Sich's evidence in which she swears that a pair of boots were brought home on the morning of Wednesday, the Bth of September, and that on taking them up to Mrs. Mitchell she found that lady and the Prince of Armenia in that position which led the jury to believe the charge established. The circumstance in itself appeared very insignificant, but it proved very material to the case, for Lord Camp bell in addressing the jury, told them if they believed that witness the charge was made out, and they must find a verdict for the plaintiff. Now the witnesses ap plicant intended to produce would show that the boots were brought home in the evening, and not in the morn ing, and on Saturday the 3d of September, and they were taken up to Mrs. Mitchell on the following Mon day, September 5. The Prince of Armenia was at pre sent abroad, and the question therefore was, whether Mrs. Mitchell, not having been either the plaintiff or defendant, although the injured party in the action in which the perjury was alleged to have been committed, could, in the absence of the prince, take out a summons against the party complained of. The same perjury had been committed in the ecclesiastical court in support of the divorce, and if it was, as he believed, a case for this court, they could go upon the perjury in that court or the Queen's Bench. Alderman Finnis asked if the prince had applied for a new trial ? The gentleman said the prince applied at judges' chambers, but he was required to pay into court the amount of damages, and being an exile, and not able to raise the money, he was obliged to retire into an honourable retreat, and leave his friends to fight his battle for him. _ Alderman Finnis said that the specific charge of perjury must be set forth in the summons, for it was not a case for a warrant, before it could be investigated by a magistrate. The applicant not being prepared with the precise form in which the charge ought to be framed then left the court, on the understanding that a summons should issue when applied for in the proper form. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—UTTERING FORGED CHEQUES.—Frederick Herbert, a well-dressed man, whose real name is Welsh, was brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with having uttered several forged cheques. Mr. James Faicke said : I am an importer of curio sities, and live at No. 16, Parkside, Knightsbridge. On the 29th of July last, about two in the afternoon, the prisoner called at my shop, and asked me if I knew a Mr. Andrew Fountain (a customer of mine) ; also Lord Hastings, and others. I said " Yes." He then asked me if I had any Lemoyne enamels. I showed him some, and he said they would not do. I then sold him a sou venir for 221., which formerly belonged to Prince Albert's father. He then asked me if I knew him. I said, "I had not the pleasure ;" and he said, "Do you know Lady Cholmondeley ?" I said "Yes." He said then, " I am her son, the Hon. Frederick Cholmondeley," and he wished to present it to her. He then said, "I suppose you will take my cheque." I said, "Certainly," and he then gave me the cheque now produced, for 221., on Messrs. Child and Co., and then went away with the souvenir. The same afternoon I presented the cheque at the banker's, and it was not paid. Mr. Lobert Ruthvyn Pym said : I am clerk to Messrs. Child and Co., and no person of the name of " Frederick Chohnondeley" keeps an account at their house. Charles Biirbidge said : lam a pawnbroker, at 33, Duke-street, Manchester-square. I produce a gold souvenir which was pledged with me by the prisoner, on the 29th of July last, for 10/. He said his name was Cholmondeley, and that he purchased it at Louis Philippe's sales. . M;. - David Combe said : I am a dentist and live at No. 18, King-street, Holborn. In December last I ad vertised a chronometer for sale, and two or three days previous to the Ist of January last the prisoner called on me. I showed it to him, and he requested me to show it to Messrs. Parkinson and Frodsham, of 'Change alley, for their opinion upon it. I did so, and a day or two afterwards he called and told me they approved of it, and I agreed to sell it to him for 321. 10s., and he gave me a cheque for that amount upon Messrs. Cox and Greenwood, and took the chronometer and went away. On the Ist of January I presented the cheque, and it was not paid. Mr. Henry Joseph Salter, clerk to Messrs. Cox and 'Greenwood, said the cheque for 321. 10s. was signed " Frederick Howard." He had no account there. It was proved that about five years ago the prisoner was committed from this court on a similar charge, and on conviction was sentenced to seven years' transportation, and was sent to Australia, from whence by s ome means he made his escape. Hei is of good family, and his father is in the Charter House. He was remanded for a week. LAMBETH.—CHARGE AGAINST A HUNGARIAN.— Yesterday Joseph Rottenstein , who represented himself hadas a Hungarian officer, who bled for the freedom of his country, and who had been in custody for the last 10 days and upwards on a charge of forgery and fraud, was again placed at the felons' bar before the Hon. G. C. Norton, for further examination. It having been understood that a second summons had been served on M. Kossuth for the attendance of that distinguished exile to give evidence in the case, the court during the investigation was much crowded. At two o'clock M. Kossuth, accompanied by a Hungarian gentleman of military appearance, and who was said to be an officer of distinction in the army, entered the court, and was accommodated with a seat in the place appropriated to barristers when these gentlemen attend on public business. Mr. Pearse, the barrister, of the Temple, attended for the prisoner, as before. The first witness called was Johannes Kineling, a German, and pianoforte-maker, residing at No. 33, Liverpool-street, King's-cross, who deposed that he knew a man named Joseph Rottenstein, and the last time he saw him was in the month of September, when he was at his house, and on that occasion remained there for eight or nine days. That person told him that he had been a first lieutenant in the 36th Regiment in the Hungarian army, and that he had wounds on his per son. He (witness) had not seen him since, nor did he know what had become of him. He had a paper in his possession which was read in his presence, and as well as he (witness) could recollect its purport was to get some work, and witness also recollected that there was something in that paper about a battalion. At the time the paper was read witness's wife and a Hungarian, named Kerlin, were present as well as himself. The prisoner was certainly not Rottenstein, the person he had been describing. The latter was a fine young man, of military appearance, and at least a foot taller than the former. M. Louis Kossuth was here sworn, and said—The certificate produced is in my handwriting, and the sig nature thereto is mine, but I have some scruple about ql the sea l attached being mine. When Joseph Rotten stein came to me I did know him previously. I do notakmuentnoiw-lrietnacotlolect exactly, but I believe that Rottenstein had a vus z oon nwa h r o o y n bearing,a; Lis re leg. political a I n d a exilesta was frequently sufferingfor certificates,called at the upon a time n d b f r iyt o m pf re er themselves Y happens th a t several• persons call who are not me, but ifupon a careful examination of them, tlificcaanteeso;niane dtsouch c onviction that they are the persons they r e p resent t o b e, I then g i ve them cer- I the applica n t J oseph given to the a p p li cants e ieved to have b een th e case w i t h Rottenstein. The c er tifi ca t es are with the view o f procur i ng f or them some employment , no matter h ow h um bl e , t o elves in unfortunat e e e x n i a le bl fr e o th m em the t i o r s n u a p t p ort th ivem eounts r pressly stated in the certificate in his hand, and i w t anseveexr was supposed by him that such certificates could be ap plied to dishonest purposes ; but it appeared that the present had been, and the circumstance was one of deep regret to himself and those gentlemen from his country who thought with him. Mr. Norton admitted that the certificate had evidently been given with the view expressed by M. Kossuth, for its language was, "It is not alms he wishes to get, but work, be it ever so hard." To M. Kossuth—From the conversation you have had, M. Kossuth, with the person who described him self as Joseph Rottenstein when you gave this cer tificate, can you form any opinion whether the pri soner is or is not the person to whom you gave the certificate ? _ M. Kossuth—lt does not strike me that I have seen the prisoner before, though I should not wish to state so positively. It is my impression that this man (the pri soner) is not a military man. He has not the bearing or appearance of one. Yet I should not wish to state positively that he is not so. Mr. Norton—Then does it strike you, after bringing your mind back to the period of the application for the certificate, that the prisoner is not the person who repre sented himself to be Joseph Rottenstein ? M. Kossuth—The impression on my mind is that the person who applied to me for the certificate, and who represented himself to be Joseph Rottenstein, was a per son of military bearing and appearance, and that he was suffering from lameness from a wound on his leg. It also appeared to me that the applicant for the certificate be longed to the well-educated class. Mr. Pearse put several questions to M. Kossuth, in cross-examination, with the view of showing- that his client must have been the person he represented himself to be, else he could not be acquainted with the particu lar movements of the ex-governor during the progress of the war in Hungary. A rough map of the different battles which had been fought by the Hungarians in the cause of liberty, and which had been drawn by the prisoner, was put in for the inspection of M. Kossuth, and which was intended as an additional proof of the truth of the prisoner's re presentations. M. Kossuth looked carefully through the plan, and also, at the prisoner's request, held a conver sation at some length with him in the German language. At its conclusion he said, that though he could not say that the accused was Lieutenant Rottenstein, it was his decided impression that he was in Hungary during the war of independence. The impartial, calm, clear, and dignified manner in which M. Kossuth gave his evidence, elicited from the hon. magistrate the expression of the highest weed of approbation. Woods, the constable who has the case in hand, and who examined the body of the prisoner by request of the magistrate, then said that the only marks he could find on him was one small white spot. George Vicker, a German, residing in Colchester street, Whitechapel, said he had been in the habit of meeting the prisoner in different public-houses in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel since the time of the Exhibition, and Woods, the constable, said that, from information just received by him, he had no doubt of being prepared on a future day to satisfactorily prove the prisoner's guilt and imposture, by the production of Joseph Rottenstein, to whom the certificate had been given, himself. This person, he understood, was at the present time in the Penitentiary, on a charge of obtain ing money by false pretences, and therefore he should be able to produce him on a future day. Mr. Norton observed that this certainly would put the case beyond all doubt, and suggested that the best course, if those gentlemen would take the trouble, would be that M. Kossuth should call at the prison to see if he could recognise the person there as the Joseph Rot tenstein, who had obtained the certificate. He (Mr. Nor ton) should therefore again remand the prisoner, for the purpose of giving Woods, the constable in the case, and who bad exhibited much zeal and ability in getting up the evidence, the opportunity of making further in quiries. Mr. Pearse complained that his client had been al ready a long time in prison, and hoped, therefore, no longer time than necessary should intervene. Mr. Norton remarked that the remand would not ope rate to the prisoner's prejudice, for as the case at pre sent stood, there was one distinct charge of forging a pawnbroker's duplicate, and four others of receiving money by fale pretences, and the case he (Mr. Norton) intended to pursue was this, if he should turn out to be the brave soldier he represented himself to be, he should only deal with him for the minor offence, but if, on the contrary, he should happen to be a mere counterfeit and impostor, he should send him to trial for the forgery. The prisoner was then remanded to a future day. DEATH FROM ASIATIC CHOLERA. On Thursday, an inquiry was opened before Mr. William Baker, at the Birdcage Tavern, Bethnal-green, touching the death of Caroline Lloyd, aged 15, a do mestic servant, lately in the service of Mr. Gouch, of Princes-square, St. George's-in-the-East, who died from Asiatic cholera. It appeared from the evidence that the deceased had always been in the enjoyment of good health ; but, on Sunday, was seized with fits of vomit ingland purging. She had previously been troubled with diarrhoea. It further appeared that there was no drain age in her master's house. There is a cesspool in the yard, which contains all the filthy water, &c., from the house, and when it is full a pump is used, and the water is forced through a pipe into the gutter in front of the house, where the muck lies in pools all day long. The whole of the residents complain of the bad drainage of the houses in the square, and many are ill from the abominable stench which issues from the cesspools. Mr. Robert Scott, surgeon, of 5, New-road, St. George's-in-the-East, stated that he found the deceased vomiting violently ; but only a white fluid, of a rice colour, passed from her. She had been much purged. The deceased was suffering from coma or asphyxia. Wit ness administered a chalk mixture and other medicine. She was in a weak and exhausted state, with her lips and fingernails quite blue. She was very cold, and in a state of collapse. The Coroner—What do you attribute the death to ? Witness—l am of opinion that it was a decided case of Asiatic cholera, as she was attacked with cramp in the bowels and limbs. The whole of the symptoms were certainly characteristic of that fearful malady. I have seen great practice abroad, and have attended numbers of cases in India, and the peculiar features of Asiatic cholera were exhibited in the present case. The jury said, they could not complete the case with out a post mortem examination of the bedy ; and the ma jority having signed a document to that effect, an order was given to Mr. Scott to open the body, in conjunction with Dr. Letheby, the Professor of Chemistry in the London Hospital. The proceedings were formally adjourned for further evidence. Yesterday the inquiry was resumed. Mr. Robert Scott, of 5, New-road, said he had examined the body of the deceased in conjunction with Mr. Wordsworth, of Finsbury-square. There was no inflammatory action in the bowels or chest. The stomach was quite empty but slightly inflamed, which had been produced by excessive vomiting. The bowels contained a small portion of red fluid, and the whole of the viscera were perfectly healthy. The brain was softened, and there was a little more fluid in the ventricles than usual. Witness was of opinion that the deceased died from exhaustion, produced by ex cessive purging. Mr. johri Caywood Wordsworth, of Finsbury-square surgeon, stated that he assisted in the post mortem ex amination, and from the choleraic symptoms he was of a similar opinion to Mr. Scott. The blood was dark, and there was no rice water faces in the bowels. By the Coroner—lt was difficult to account for the cause of the state of the bowels, but it might have re sulted from the effluvia arising from a foul cesspool. The Coroner said it was some satisfaction to have the body opened. Although it was not very clear as to the primary cause of death, they had ascertained the proxi mate cause. Mr. Scott, the surgeon, said the whole of the neigh bourhood was very defectively drained, and sickness pre vailed to a considerable extent among the inhabitants. Other evidence having been taken, The jury consulted for a short time, when they unani mously agreed to the following special verdict That the deceased lied a natural death by the visitation of God, but her death was probably accelerated by the effluvia arising from foul water emptied daily from a cesspeol at her residence, situated at 31, Prince's-square, St. George's-in-the-East, which was of a fetid and foul character, and we, the jury, request the Coroner to write to the Commissioners of Sewers with a view of getting a better system of drainage in that district."
