SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT THE ITCHEN FERRY, SOUTH AMPTON.--On Saturday evening, as the son of Mr. Gore, of Ramble Cliff, Southampton, was driving home in his dog-cart, accompanied by a groom, the horse, in passing the railway, took fright at the noise of a n en g ine and started off at a furious pace down the steep bank of the Itchen. The tide being high, the animal was in a moment out of its depth and speedily drowned. Mr. Gore and his servant were picked up, when nearly ex hausted, by the boat's crew of the Arrow yacht. Much interest was excited among the numerous spectators on the shore, by the endeavours of a large dog, which swam out after the carriage, to save its master and extricate the horse, even after the latter had ceased to exist. t :- Oct. 6 No. 19,029.] ---i --- ) ..-' , Z e / :--------/, . • q . .-, ~ '.

She had distinctly stated she went to Mr. Hamilton's without the knowledge of Smith—not having seen him for a fortnight—whereas the latter had sworn that he was waiting outside for her.

This is one of those oases in which I think it necessary to abstain from offering any opinion upon the evidence before me; but I may say that I shall be prepared to entertain an application to admit the prisoner to bail, if good and substantial sureties are procured. Is the prisoner in a largelvay of practice as a surgeon ? Inspector Mackenzie stated that the prisoner was not a menv,er of the English College of Surgeons, but held an Irish diplonnt. Mr. Austin said he had been in practice at his present house about three years, and he had no doubt respectable bail could he readily procured. 11.0-. prisoner was then committed for trial. r pßic. SD. PH iv LATE A CCIDENT IN THE NVRAND. rie following evidence was adduced. at the inquest yesterday, after we closed up our report in our first edition George Cove, of No. 275, Strand, carpenter, deposed - I reside immediately opposite the house that has alien. Before it fell, Mr. Thompson, the deceased, called ußou me two or three times, and asked my opinion respecting it. He first called upon me six •or eight months it upon the subject, but h as f requently as k e d me abou t it since. I told him I considered that the house was (6. cid edly dangerous, and advised hi m t o s p ea k t o the par ties engaged in the works regarding it. He told me that the surveyors had assured him that it was perfectly s afe. He did not say what surveyors. I wish also to express my opinion upon this matter, having had con siderable experience in building and shoring. I consider that the house was not properly shored. The raking shores were not high enough, and the bottom part of the house appeared to be neglected altogether. There were some five or six of the shorter shores, but I am of opinion that the plan of shoring adopted generally was imperfect. The shoring was not adequate. They were not placed in a proper position. I attribute the accident to the in sufficiency of the shoring, and to the excavations that were going on behind the wall, because it appeared to me that they were below the wall, and even below the footings of their own shores, Robert Brown, of No. 1, Struttou-ground, Westmin ster, labourer—l am in the employ of Mr. W. Hearn, sub - contracto r of Stangate, who was engaged to do the excavation s at the houses in the Strand. We began there on the Bth of August last. I worked under the direc tions of Mr. Rowe. No one else gave me directions. We got the earth all levelled out 10 feet deep from marks which Mr. Rowe and Shrimplin made on the wall for us to go from, and 51 feet long. The Coroner—Did you cut into the party-wall Witness—Yes, Sir, in three places. I mean the main wall altogether, that goes from the Strand to the back of the house. Ido not mean that we cut into the brick work. We only tried with the shovel to see whether we were below the foundation. By a Juror—l made three cuts up to the foot of the wall to see where the foundation was. Those cuts were . about 12 feet apart. I was on the ground when the building fell, and fell close by Mr. Rowe. The wind oc casioned by the crash threw me over. By Mr. Hawkins—l heard the crack before the build ing fell. The wall appeared to give way about the middle, and to make a bend from about 12 feet up, and to burst. The mortar flew out all over me. Thomas Ayes, of No. 58, Tothill-street, Westminster, an excavator, corroborated the evidence of the last wit ness. He stated that three holes were cut, two behind and one in front, "to let the foreman see where the foundation of the wall was." The two behind were about 16 or 18 inches below the foundation, and the one in front was about the level of the foundation. He added that he was at work on the premises when the house fell. He ran into one of the vaults under the street, and was blocked in immediately, and was uninjured. Mr. Samuel Angell—l reside at No. 18, Gower-street, and am the district surveyor to that part of St. Clement Danes parish which is in the duchy of Lancaster. I re ceived no notice from the builders of any works being about to be executed adjoining the premises, No. 184, Strand ; but I knew that a building was going to be erected there. I received no formal notice. Perhaps, I should mention here that the Act of Parliament pro vides that two days' notice shall be given to the district surveyor " before commencing operations." This is rather a vague term, and I believe a general notion prevails among builders that it means two days before the laying of bricks. lam sure that in this case there was no wilful neglect on the part of the builders. I was on Mr. Smith's premises on the 19th of August, in consequence of having been called upon by Mr. Phillips, Mr. Abra hams' clerk, who brought me the plans for building Mr. Smith's premises. I conceived that Mr. Phillips called on the part of Mr. Abrahams as survey Mr. Smith. Those plans comprised the working drawings for the re . building of the premises. The question arose whether , the party-wall was to stand or to be taken down. I recommended that it should stand, and that au external wall should be built against it. Mr. Phillips stated that he would m en tion the case to Mr. Abrahams, and I considered that it was arranged in that manner. I was of opinion that the wall *as quite sufficient for Mr. Thompson's purposes, but not sufficient for the new building which was to be placed there. There was no variation afterward from that plan that I am aware of. Mine was a preparatory survey, and was not made during the progress of the work s ; or was I at all aware that the works were progressing. I had received no notice that the works were commenced, and had not passed the premises since. I have power to inspect all buildings that are in progress ; but the act provides that a notice shall be served, and I had no personal know ledge that any works were progressing here. Not having received any notice, I do not consider that it was my duty to inspect the building. If I had been aware, how ever, that the works were in progress, I should have considered it my duty to go and inspect the works, whether I received notice or not, but I had no know ledge that the works had commenced. I had not the slightest idea that there was the remotest danger to passengers. . S , A Juror—ls it not your duty to keep a look-out when works are going on in your district, to see that they are so conducted as to occasion no liability to the life or limb of passengers and the public ? Witness—Yes, it is my duty. The Juror—With or without notice ? Witness—Yes, either with or without notice. The Foreman—You are appointed as district surveyor to the parish of St. Clement Danes. If you, by any means, are aware that a building is in progress, do you consider that it is your duty to direct your attention to that building without having received notice ? Witness—Yes, I do certainly ; but in this case I ex pected that notice would have come in the usual way, and then, of course, I should have gone and inspected it. A Juror—How many times did you visit this building in the course of the work ? Witness--Twice. The Juror—ln how long a period of time ? Witness—ln a fortnight. The Juror—Does not the act require you to attend from time to time, and to watch the progress of the works ? Witness—l consider that, beyond the preparatory survey, my duties had not commenced. I consider that my duties do not commence until the building -up is begun. In answer to other questions from different members of the jury, the witness said—l think that the district surveyor has no jurisdiction as to the pulling down of houses, nor am I aware that it is his duty to inspect shoring. A penalty attaches to the builder for not giving notice to the district surveyor. When I insp ected the premises on the 19th of A ugust, I saw and appre hended no danger wh a t ever. Whether underpinning is essential depends very much upon the nature of the foundations. The fo un d at i ons here appeared to me to consist of a good b e d o f gravel, s t l h i a pß t pye yr Mr. r o u o c a sßhoi fdt n hkianivgn_Tu b e f t o ow r 1 cei o a r t k i o u n p . on. .which is It is on eby no of the means best a practice of the trade is, I be lieve, to give notice to the district surveyor two days before the " laying of bricks." That appears to be the generally received opinion, and I think it is the fair one, because the law provides that two days' notice shall be given " before any building is begun to be built." It also provides, " before any party-wall, external-wall, chimney stacks, or flues, shall be begun to be built, re built, cut down, or altered ;" but that portion of the section does not apply to the case at all. By Mr. Hawkins—lf I find, upon inspection, that any irreguiarity has been committed by the builders, I can not interfere, but must give 48 hours to them to repair their irregularity. If they fail to do so upon receipt of that notice I still cannot interfere, but it is my duty to give information to the official referees. Then, upon the receipt of such information, the official referees are to hear the matter, and if there appears to be any danger of the rules of the act being broken, they may authorise a survey of the premises. Mr. Hawkins--This is a most extraordinary AA* of the law. I want to show that in case of actual danger to the public nothing can be done within at least a month. Mr. Bodkin—Nothing is extraordinary to those who are acquainted with the Building Act. Mr. Hawkins, amid considerable amusement, read the section of the act from which, he said, it appeared that a building might be unsafe to passengers for at least a mont'i before it could be secured. In the case of a build in, Lin! , in so ruinous a condition as to endanger the lives of passengers, it became the duty of the surveyor, such h e r ou ffi i n c o i v a s l r e e r f d e r a e n e g s e , r w o h u g o o u o P n o d n it l i e o c n e , iv t i o ng ap i p n i f y or fth m or ati w on it o h f tot might order a survey to be made. Then, if th a t survey were not executed, an application was to be made to the Lord Mayor, if in the City, or to a justice if elsewhere, who might direct such survey to be made within 14 days. Witness said that that was so. Mr. Hawkins—So that if a building be ever so unsafe to the public, it cannot be touch e d b y any process of law un til about a month's time ? Witness—Just so. At this stage of the proceedings, the court having sat nearly six hours, The Coroner intimated that, as it would not be pos sible to conclude the case that day, this would probably be a convenient point for adjourning. The jury acquiesced, and the proceedings wer4.ircord ingly adjourned f or ano th er week.. _.__~ r._,...,_.~....__ ;_~- LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 20, 1853. THE STRIKE MOVEMENT. and the new hand, who, having a wife to maintain, would gladly have gone on at existing rates, was obliged to go out with the rest. By and by they came to terms with the authorities of Bank side ; but so far from insisting on the em ployment of the whole of those who had gone out with them, they sacrificed all the new hands, being themselves glad enough to diminish the competition. This, we repeat, is by no means a singular case ; on the contrary, we have frequently met with men who complained bitterly that, after being compelled to strike against their will, they subsequently found that the origi natorsAi and leaders of he strik e p r i va tely arranged with the masters fo ' ir-own retutit, a nd left the others in the lurch. thiroofibb l iola of a strike it generally happe . at.a• good ': aiber of the working men must he thrown ov, • eard, simply because their places have beommeantime supplied ; and the, olish ones who go in the crowd, merely following the lead, are generally selected for the victims. Being the quietest, they suffer with the least noise. Some of our great strikes would form very interesting stories, but by no means creditable to the principle agents. We just throw this out as a proper caution to men embarked or embarking in these perilous adventures. They don't trust their employers—let them see that their fellow workmen are worthy of confidence, and whether they escape bad management, bad feeling, and bad principle by going lower in the scale for their leaders and advisers. (From, the Times.) The number and variety of the " strikes" now in progress justify the character which has been as cribed to them, as an industrial revolution. There is hardly a class or employment which has not " struck, and which has not more or less obtained its d emauds. Colliers, miners, smelters, shipwrights, carpenters, masons, bricklayers, painters, down at last to slopmakers and seamstresses, have caught the soft infection and struck for an advance of wages. The builders complain that the demands already conceded have increased the expense of house-building 11 per cent., and say that if the further demands now made are granted it will raise the cost so much more. We are paying nearly half as much again for our seaborne coal as we were in the summer, and the railways will not be far be hind ;- nay, they have very little choice, for all the railway labourers are striking. A strike, too, is only a sign of a good deal which is passing unob served, for it is a matter of prudence to anti cipate a strike if possible, and so dispense with its delays and other disagreeables. Even police men talk of striking ; and, as we had lately four days without cabs, we are threatened with three days without protection, and three days without letters. We presume we shall then be a week without bakers' bread, another without milk, another with fresh meat. Some are too powerful to find a strike necessary, and others are already too much on the free trade system. There will aot, therefore, be a strike of the omnibuses, the 31ergy, the costermongers, or any other ordinary trades. Our roads may not be watered, or our !amps lighted, through the sudden recusancy of the Aquarius who sprinkles our pavement, or the Vesperus who lights up our evening star ; but our miserably ill-paid pastors evidently recoil from the ,wful experiment of closing our churches for a Sunday. The omnibuses and the river steamers raise or lower their fares at discretion, and want no strike. They get what they want without it. there are classes, too, that, in the nature of things, cannot strike. Agricultural labourers have great tifficulty in striking, and in most parishes, parti tmlarly in the south of England, there are certain unpleasant recollections of the agrarian emeutes twenty years since. In such cases wages will find their level ultimately without strikes, and much better it is that they should, though it is not at all our place to dictate to any body of men come to years of discretion, and possessed of strength tnd skill, whether they shall strike or not, or in ,vhat manner they shall then prosecute their just lemands, so long as they confine themselves to fair, honest, open, and peaceful methods. A man itas just as much right to ask ss. 6d. a day for his tabour, or, what comes to the same thing, to ask is. for a shorter day's labour than before, as an other man has to as to-day 2s. 6d. fora bushel of tpples, which yesterday could be got for 25., or to ask 2s. for a bushel of inferior quality. Again, as it is obvious that no one can get what he thinks justice if he is not properly backed up by the others in the same case, so no just and reasonable person can leny the right of a whole trade, or a whole class, , :ombining quietly to present their demand or their bill of grievances, and to stand by it. We have been invited, not to say besought, to nterfere on both sides, or rather on all sides ; but t evidently is no place of ours to fix the price of my article, or the particular manner of obtaining it. From the time that we read of labourers standing idle in the market-place, and very much earlier, labour of all kinds has been a marketable commo- lity. Viionmasters or millowners can dine toge ther, and settle over their wine the price of " pigs" 'll- the wages of a cotton spinner for the next month, xby may not operatives of all classes do the same ? this, however, seems to be admitted. We have, then, only to offer some words of caution, and they are most wanted just now, as it seems to us, on the side of the aggressive and triumphant party —the working class. In the first place, let them beware how they go too far, by asking too much. No trade can go on long which is not profitable, aid, if it is not, the longer it goes on, the worse for All classes concerned in it. Employers, as it is, are tlways too much disposed to go on rivalry, regard to appearances, the necessity of keeping up credit, tnd all the instincts of trade are in favour of going , But when all the employers in a, trade have ,one on much too long, there must ensue stagnation Lnd bankruptcy, throwing many thousands of the employed out of work for nobody can say how long. Wages are a most important element in all trades —more important, perhaps, than the working-man is apt to imagine, as he seldom takes the trouble to ium up all the wages paid by an employer—say weekly, at a mill, or in the building of a ship or a house. It should be considered, too, that often the first to offer better wages are those who are the least capable of paying them long, and who will be the first to give in at a general stagnation ; that new employers who lead the way in a rise of wages, and give the signal for a strike, may possibly take the lead at a reduction, not to say An entire cessation of employment. But there are more important cautions to be offered. We wish we could believe working people were always fair to their employers, and, what is quite as im portant, always fair to one another. Intimida tion, in any form whatever, is not fair, and so long as a working man can say that he would go on working at the present rates if he dared to do so, but dares not, there is intimidation. In the present state of the labour market, with so many opportunities offering themselves on all sides, far and near, there can be'no reason why one man, or why 20 men, should not quietly withdraw, or stand out for better wages, without the least attempt to interfere with others content to go on at the old rates. Combination of a coercive kind cannot be necessary when the market is so much one way. When a strike lasts long, it may be little more than a holiday for those who start with money in their pockets, or who have light families ; but it is cruel work for men with heavy families and light purses. Wives and children are half-starved, school is given up, domestic comfort disappears, and, perhaps, the happiness of a young family is blighted for ever by the horrors of a long strike with inadequate provision for it. But the effect of intimidation isnot confined to the weaker class of the employed. It reaches all the rest. Capital is the most sensitive of all things, and skrinks from intimidation as from a plague. Who will sink his 20,000/. 2 —who will lend his money to another man doing so,—who will plant his inflam mable buildings, his delicate machinery, which spoils even with idleness,—who will fix his fortunes, and strike downward the great tap root of his family, in a place where men are plotting, threat ening, scowling, and using words and signs of un intelligible, yet fearful import ? There are chemi cal experiments of such a surpassingly delicate nature that they are arrested and spoilt if the door does but open, if the sun does but cast a single beam on the vase. Not less delicate are the great experiments of industry, and new investmdnts of capital, and credit. The poet's figure of the hind, that starts at the rustling of a lizard in the bush, expresses but feebly the slightness of the incident that may shake the confidence of a large employer, or destroy his credit. Therefore capitalists and manufacturers shun places given to strikes. Hence the comparative desertion of many places that once promised to be great and wealthy. Peo ple ask why they don't increase, and why the population are poor. The answer is, their frequent strikes. What we have said is on the general impolicy of strikes when their object can be obtained by a good understanding with employers. But, supposing that men will strike, seeing no other way to procure proper attention to their claims, then we beg to suggest a few considerations, of which they ought, and eventually m will, ho fee strike l the importance. We prume that en w en masse, and affect a high tone with their employers, will find it a great degradation to come on the parish at any future period of their lives, and will strain their utmost not to do so. We presume that, should they be getting wages to their mind, they will secure their wives and children from ever coming to the parish. Nothing can be more ridiculous than a battle of wages with parochial relief in reserve. We presume, too, t those at they thatwho willtheres trinka will eds e be especially desert so ltlhy e mu m u c co h comrades, g ra thede honour s, a mo foremost, particu larly those they have misled We happen to know a case, which we believe to be by no means singular, strongly illustrating the notions of honour apt to prev a il i n these quarters. A young, but very clever and accomplished carver in wood, by the recommedation of a friend, procured employment at the works for the new Houses of Parliament.

SEVERN VALLEY. The first general meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Parliament -street—M r . Thorp in the chair. The CHAIRMAN stated that the directors had convened the first meeting of the company at the earliest period they could, in order to give the shareholders the oppor tunity of electing the directors, named in the act, or of appointing others in their place. The act incorporating the company had received the Royal assent on the 20th of August. He believed it was the first bill in the late session that was read the second time, and it was nearly the last bill that had received the Royal assent. It had met with considerable opposition its progress through Parliament from the Shrewsbury companies, which caused considerable delay and expense. The railway was proposed to commence by a junction with the Ox ford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton Railway, near Hartlebury, passing along the valley of the Severn to Stourport, Bewdley, Bridgnorth, Coalport, Broseley, and Coalbrookdale to Shrewsbury. To give them some notion of the value of the traffic in the district through which the line was intended to pass, he might mention that at Stourport there were 1,000 persons employed in ironworks and in the manufac ture of worsted and carpets. Stourport had risen very rapidly within 'the UFA 50 years, and had only been stopped by the want of railway communication with other districts. It was stated in evidence before Par liament that by means of railway communication the trade of the town would be increased five-fold. There were 4,000 inhabitants in Bewdley, which was not a manufacturing place, but several gentlemen resided there, and it would yield a large passenger traffic. Pas sing to the next place on the line, there was a large manufactory which paid 2,000/. a-year for the convey ance of goods and materials, the whole of which would come over their line. 'Bridgnorth was a large town, and had considerable carpet manufactories. It was greatly in want of railway accommodation, and it was stated by witnesses before the committee that the busi ness would be increased five times its present amount when the railway pissed near the town. Coalbrook dale was the chief place on their line for traffic, which would be greatly increased by the railway. Coalport was the next place, at which there was the largest china manufactory in England. It was second only to the one at Paris. There were 700 persons em ployed in it, and they imported all their materials with the exception of coal, and those materials would pass over the Severn Valley Railway. Passing up the Severn, they came to Broseley, where there were the most extensive concerns for the manufacture of fire-bricks and tiles, and the traffic to and from these plaCes was immense. They also carried on a large trade with the West of England. Besides this, limestone was found in immense quantities, and the article was in great demand in South Staffordshire, and could be had by means of their railway at a much cheaper rate than from North Wales. They expected a large traffic in limestone and other minerals. The ironworks of the Coalbrook dale Company employed 4,000 persons, and a large quantity of materials were continually conveyed to and from the works. At Madeley there were very important works. In the int erva l s b etween t h e towns were r i c h agricultural districts, dotted with country seats up to Shrewsbury, where the line would join the Shrewsbury and Birmingham Rail wa y. Th e l engt h o f t h e li ne was 4 1 miles, and comparing th e di s t r i c t th roug h w hi c h it passe d with others like it, hut having railway communication, he found that it resembled more the districts through which the Shrewsbury and Chesterand the Midlands Rail ways passed than any other. The line was estimated to cost 600,0001. A net revenue of 30,0001. per an num would give them a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent., and by estimating the gross receipts at 40/. per mile per week, on 41 miles, they would have 85,2801. to meet that and the working expenses. He estimated that the traffic would pay 74 per cent. on the outlay. Mr. PARSON suggested the propriety of the directors not proceeding immediately to make calls in the present state of the money-market, but to wait until money could be obtained more easily. The CHAIRMAN said, it would be very indiscreet to press their friends for money, although they were anxious that no time should be lost in carrying on the works at the proper season. Mr. W. REED, a director, explained that they would I not call for money at present, and that anything like a serious amount would not be required until the spring. It was probable that Mr. Nicholson would carefully re survey the line and ascertain where savings in construc tion and earthworks might be effected before preparing the contracts for the works. After some further observations, resolutions were passed, electing Mr. Thorp, Colonel Forester, 1b1.P., Mr. W. Reed, Major Tyndale, Mr. Parker, and Mr. Till directors of the company ; fixing the salary of the secretary at 5001. per annum ; appointing Mr. Richard son and Mr. Phillips auditors, and allowing each of them 251. per annum ; and allowing 5001. for the past services of the directors. A vote of thanks was given to Mr. Grazebrook, who retired from the direction on account of the state of his health, for his valuable services to the company ; and also to the chairman and directors, after which the meeting separated. COLEFORD, MONMOUTH, USK, AND PON- T VPOOt. The first general meeting of this company was held on Wednesday at Usk, Mr. C. Bailey, M.P., in the The report stated that, after a lengthened struggle in both Houses of Parliament, they succeeded in obtaining an act for the above railway, which received the Royal assent on the 20th of August last. The original design was to carry the railway through the Forest of Dean to Awre, there to form a junction with the South Wales Railway, and by that means to effect a direct commu nication with Gloucester and London ; but the com mittee of the House of Commons, not being satisfied that the mode by which the proposed line was intended to be carried through the Forest of Dean was the best adapted to meet the wants of the district, declined granting any powers beyond Coleford, which has thus for a time become the eastern terminus of the line. The company have thus gained undisputed possession of powers to make a central line through Monmouthshire, and thence to Coleford, where it reaches the iron ore, coal, and limestone, and from which place the directors have no doubt of being able to extend the line through the heart of the Forest to some point on the South Wales Railway, so as to secure a through communica tion to Gloucester and the metropolis. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, said, he had no doubt the shareholders would come for ward and render the directors their most strenuous co operation in carrying out the undertaking. It was cal culated that 160,8001. would enable them to complete the railway. The ore which would be conveyed along the line would produce 50,0001. per annum ; the pas senger traffic and the carriage of limestone and other materials would produce a very good dividend. The length of the li ne wou ld b e 23 m i les, and every acre of land' through which it passed would be enhanced in value. The line would run through 160,000 acres of land, and, at 2s. 6d. per acre, would yield a revenue of 30,0001. per annum. Mr. T. BROWN seconded the motion. Resolutions were passed adopting the report, electing the directors, and appointing the secretary and auditors. It was stated that Mr. C. Bailey, Mr. T. Brown, Mr. T. Powell, Mr. G. Cove, and other shareholders, had doubled their original subscriptions to the railway ; after which many new parties came forward to take shares in the undertaking. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks and a dinner to the chairman. SOMERSETSHIRE CENTRAL. ......._. ____. The works on the Somersetsbire Central Railway are proceeding rapidly. 200 men are employed near the point of junction with the Bristol and Exeter Railway, at Highbridge, and it is anticipated that the line will be opened for traffic in less than a year from this time. SOUTH WALES MINERAL. The first ordinary meeting of the company was held on Friday at Neath—Viscount Villiers in the chair. The report stated that the act incorporating the corn pany'received the Royal assent on the 15th of August. The directors regret that they were compelled to with draw the branch to Maesteg in consequence of opposi tion. The engineer, Mr. Brunel, has been requested to give his attention with as little delay as possible to set out the line. The majority of the parties interested in the land required for the railway have agreed to give thet satre gratuitously to the company. The Briton Ferry Dock, when completed, will afford one of the nearest and most important outlets for the traffic of this railway. The directors have arranged with the Briton Ferry Dock Company that the terms of the traffic and accom modation shall be determined by Mr. Brunel, who has accordingly been requested by both parties to undertake the decision of these points. The directors also congratulate the proprietors on the great prospec tive advantages which they, in common with every other interest in the principality, will derive from the exten sion of the South Wales Railway to Milford Haven, affording a ready outle t to all p arts of the world f or the unlimited supply of coal and iron, which this dist r i c t i s capable of producing. T wo extensive virgin tracts of minerals, including the best steam coal, have already been taken by different companies with the determina tion at once to commence working, and negoti a ti ons are now in progress for opening other coal-fields along the line. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the proprietors on having obtained their act at a moderate expense. The great ma tt er f or th em was the prospect i ve opening of extensive virgin fields of coal at Glyncorrwg. They had had an offer from re sponsible parties to lease the line for a period of thirty VIE EASTERN QUESTION. (From the Press.) The answer of the Czar to the recommendation of the Vienna Conference that he should accept the modifications of the note proposed by the Porte has at length been receives. He positively refuses to concede those conditions which the Sultan has po sitively stated he cannot and will not dispense with. The labours of the Conference have therefore come to nothing, and the prospect of a pacific solution of the difficulty is more distant now than at any time since the crisis began. We are assured that our Ministers are not dis couraged. " Nothing has occurred to affect the substantial merits of the case. * * The ques tion remains precisely as before," writes one of their organs of yesterday ; " the only fresh intelligence is favourable to peace," says another; while a third insinuates that " there is no new reason to prevent Russia from acquiescing in a peaceful settlement of the quarrel." We are told that " the dispute has already been reduced to a question of form," though the facts before the writer's eyes compel him to ad mit that "if the Porte insisted on supplementary conditions when it was less able to enforce its will, and less deeply committed to a policy of resistance, there can be less expectation of its dispensing with these conditions at a moment when the war party is clearly in the ascendant." As Russia will not yield to the reasonable condi tions of Turkey, it is now assumed that Turkey must yield to the unreasonable conditions of Russia. The Conference, on receipt of the Emperor's refusal, sent proposals to the Sultan that he should recal his words—that he should sign the note he had re fused to sign, and be content with an assurance that the Conference would put any interpretation on the note agreeable to the Sultan himself. Our Government conceives that he should - accede to this • - request ; that, as he — is the weakest party in the - - - - - . _ . quarrel, it is only reasonable he should give way to the stronger ; and that, discarding all consider ations of right and honour, and all respects for the opinion of his people, he should humble him self at the feet of the haughty enemy who has wan- tonly invaded his dominion's, and whose troops, encamped on Turkish territory, are savagely cla- mourin - g for the extermination - of himself, his nation, and . his faith. "It will be well if the Sultan sign the note." "We trust that the Turkish Government may be induced to defer to those _ _ representations which the mediating Conference will be called on to renew. * * " It is hard to expect that they (the mediating Powers) should support Turkey in a declaration of war." We lay the more stress on these sentiments, as it is notorious that they proceed from leading members of the Government. They are not light ' words heedlessly written, but the deliberate opinions of inen who now hold the reins-of empire: In the same papers in whieh'these counsels are given, the intelligence from Turkey emphatically states that " the Sultan would lose his life if he were to accept of dishonourable conditions." Can any one doubt what his answer will be, — what, in fact, it must be ? The publication of Lord Clarendon's answer to the Russian manifesto shows what language our Foreign Minister held only two months back. On the 16th of July last, Lord Clarendon wrote to doubt Nesselrode—" If ancient rights exist, and are observed by Turkey, Russia has no cause of complaint against Turkey. But if she seeks to extend those rights, then is Turkey justified in closely examining the nature of such fresh demands, and in refusing those from which her independence and dignity would suffer." In this sentence is contained full justification of the course the Sultan has hitherto pursued ; and when he is requested to abandon those modifica tions of the note which he conceived essential to the dignity and independence of his Government, what other reply need he make than to lay his fin ger on this part of Lord Clarendon's dispatch, and say,—You have my answer there ! Will England dare to withdraw from the side of her old ally, should he persist in acting on those principles of policy which she has taught him are essential to the maintenance of his kingdom as a sovereign and independent State ? No art of so phistry—no verbal juggling --can ge t over those recorded words of our Foreign Minister. There they stand, shaming the dastardly counsels which are now urged on the Sultan, and justifying him in adhering to the views he has already firmly ex pressed. He has not taken exception to any merely ver bal formality ; it is to the substance of certain con ditions in the Vienna Note, affecting his rights of sovereignty over large bodies of his subjects, that he reasonably and consistently objects. The pro posal of the Conference is, that those conditions should be read in a "non-natural" sense ; that they should not be taken to imply what the words do imply ; that the Porte should give up the point now, and trust to the moderation of his formidable foe, and the protection of the mediating Powers, for an interpretation of the clauses in a sense es sentially different from their plain and obvious meaning. Is it likely that this insulting sophistry will be favourably listened to ? It is to the armies on the banks of the Danube that attention must now be directed, rather than to the Conference at Vienna. The wisdom of our Government has brought the belligerents face to face. On one side the success of unprovoked ag gression has intoxicated the troops with confidence in the might of their arms, and maddened them with desire for conflict and victory, and on the other a sense of insult and wrong has aroused a storoi of indignation which the efforts of diplo macy will scarcely be able to repress. While we have been deluded by expecting peace from nego tiation, Russia and the Porte have been actively preparin g for the last and desper ate issue of the battle. At the moment when we were assured that orders were about to be given for the evacua tion of the Principalities the Russians were actively engaged in fortifying themselves in their ,‘ con quests ;" and, as we learn by the latest telegraphic dispatches, were concentrating a vast body of troops on the line of the Danube. The Sultan reviewing his levies at Unkiar Skelessi, and with a manifesto of war, urgently appealing to the coura ge and fana ticism of his people, ready for p ubli cation, is not less ominous than the military parade of Gortscha koff and his savage proclamation, exhortin g hi s soldiers to annihilate Paganism, and those who " would oppose Russia in the sacred missi on, w i th its blasphemous rallying cry— Long lif e to the God of the Russians !" The meeting appointed between the Czar Nicholas and the young Emperor Francis, on the 23d inst., at Ohnutz, indicates the contempt with which the former is disposed to regard the proceed-. ings of the Conference. England is the party most interested in thwarting his ambitious schemes ; but what can lie care for the representations of a po wer which, since the commencement of the quarrel, has not dared even to be consistent even in timidity, but has manifested the extremes of weakness by continual vaccination ? When, for the hundredth time, we are positively assured that terms of settlement have been agreed on, and that peace has been s e cur ed , we shall be startled from our dream of repose by the announce ment that a great battle has effectually cut short the subtleties of diplomatic negotiation. From the hour that the Russian armies had crossed the Pruth, war had virtually commenced. Had England, in the consciousness of her magnificent strength, for bade the aggression, and dared, even though she stood alone, all consequences of her righteous asai, in a righteous cause, the perils which now threatens the peace of Europe would have been checked in its origin. The right moment for effectual media- SOUTH WALES (PEMBROKE LINE) AND THE PENNAR DOCKS. The contractors for the construction of the South Wales branch to Pembroke, and the proposed docks at Pennar, are Messrs. Wythes and Treadwell, who have undertaken to have these important works finished by December, 1855. It is understood they will be pro ceeded with without delay ; and the total cost is esti mated at 500,0001. The whole of this large capital will be advanced by the contractors, who have agreed to take the shares of the company for the amount. The railway company will advance the sum of 35,0001. for the required land. The proposed extension is six miles. The completion of these docks and the railway will make the haven at Milford a most important one. On the run from New York, Milford possesses an advantage of 24 hours over both Liverpool and Southampton. EXTRAORDINARY WIARGE AGAINST A MEI)ICAL MAN. Henry Hamilton, alias Scott, described as a surgeon in practice at 3, King William -street, Strand, and ap parently about 40 years of age, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Hall, at Bow -street yesterday, charged with having administered drugs to a young woman to pro cure abortion, and also with having committed a rape upon her person. Messrs. Austin, solicitors, attended for the prisoner. The prosecutor, Elizabeth Brown, deposed as follows : —I am a single woman at present, and live with my parents at 11, Methuen-street, Rotherhithe. lam 22 years of age, and live by needlework. On Saturday morning last, at about half past twelve o'clock, I went to the prisoner's house, and asked to see Dr. Hamilton. I had never seen him, but I had heard talk of him, and' had often read his advertisements in the newspapers. I was shown up stairs into the drawing-room, and the prisoner came to me there. He began by saying, " All my patients fully understand that my fee is half-a guinea." I had told him that I was suffering from sick ness and pain at the bottom of my stomach. I said that I had not got half-a-guinea with me, and had only called for his advice. He said he would take half the money then, if I could bring the other half on Monday, which I agreed to do. I sat on the sofa by his directions and he began to examine me. He said that I was in the family-way, which I was not until then aware of. Mr. Hall--Are you a married woman then ? Prosecutrix—No, not yet, sir ; but I am just on the point of it. Examination continued—l told the prisoner that I did not know I was so, and asked him if he could re lieve me of the pain I was suffering. He said that he might be able to do me some good, but would like to see the young man I had been acquainted with. I replied that he was not in the way, and could not be found, upon which he asked me if I could find any other young man that would do in his place. If not, he said, he could do it himself, if I would permit him. I did not think that this was right, and refused to let him do what he wanted. He said that if I consented, that and the medicine he intended to give me would do me good. I told him that it was very wrong to suggest such a thing, and said that I would wait until I was married to the father of my child, which would be very shortly. He then said he must examine me, and laid me down upon the sofa, and acted in a very improper manner to me. [The witness here suddenly fainted, and was re moved from the court, in consequence of which a tem porary adjournment of the proceedings took place.] Examination resumed—l complained of his conduct, and resisted him very much, but he partly effected his purpose, not entirely. He said, that when people were not prepared with their money, they were often obliged to go to unpleasant extremes, and persons had to under go a great deal that might go against their prudence. He had placed some medicine in a glass upon the table, and said, if I had allowed him to have his way, I should have had to take it immediately afterwards, but now it was no use to me, consequently I did not take the medi cine. Before he examined me he asked if my friends were well off, and whether I was myself, and I told him we were poor working people. He gave me two pills to be taken at bed-time, and said they were to act upon my bowels. He asked me to call again on Monday, and consider in the mean time whether I would not consent to what he proposed. He assured me I should not have I so much hesitation about it after one or two visits ; but, if I still refused, I must bring my young man or another. lie said if I did not submit to him he should have to use an instrument, and then I suspected that he wanted to procure a miscarriage, which I did not wish. He de sired me to keep the affair a secret from my friends, and said that 1 had better not mention what he had done to me to my young man, as, in his ignorance, he might object to it, and it might get him (prisoner) into trouble. I left him, and in half an hour afterwards I met my young man in the Strand, and told him every thing that had happened. Cross-examined—The young man's name is John Smith. He is an ironmonger, and has visited me with the knowledge of my parents. It was not Smith that recommended me to consult Dr. Hamilton. It was a young woman in Church-street, Rotherhithe, whom I only know as Sarah. She also works at the needle. She said she had read his advertisements in the weekly newspapers. I did not know that I was pregnant be fore going to Mr. Hamilton. I never told the prisoner that it was by an old man, and of course it was not. I did say that I did not know what had become of the young man, and that lie might have gone to Australia for what I knew, as he had been talking about it. I alluded to the young man Smith, and said I had not seen him for a week, and did not know where he was. What I have described occurred in the drawing-room. The prisoner fastened the door and pulled down the blinds before examining me. I cannot say if there were any men outside painting the windows at the time. I was in his house two hours altogether, and he kept me on the sofa about three-quarters of an hour. I did not cry out, because I resisted him. I did not complain of his examining me with his hands, because I thought it might be necessary. I told Smith all that passed, for I thought it was my place to do so. He did not know that I was going to the doctor's. I had not seen him for a week or fortnight before. When I met him in the Strand, after leaving Mr. Hamilton's, it was not by ap pointment. Up to this time I have never told either my father or mother what took place, and they do not know I am in the family-way. After I told Smith all about it, we went back to the prisoner's house together, and I waited outside while he went in to speak to Mr. Hamilton. Smith did this of his own accord. I had given the prisoner Gs., and was to take him the remain ing 4s. 6d. on Monday. He never told me that my parents ought to know how I was situated. After Smith came away from the prisoner's, we went to Bow street police-station, and had him taken into custody for rape and abortion. I never told Smith to ask the prisoner for compensation, and I am sure he did not do so. John Smith (who was kept out of court during the examination of the prosecutrix) said : I have kept com pany with the last witness, with the knowledge of her parents, for three years. I lodge with my aunt at No. 4, New-street, Bermondsey, and am an ironmonger. I was with the prosecutrix on Saturday morning in the Strand, and left her about one o'clock to go to Dr. Hamilton's, as she complained of a pain in her side. I waited for her at the end of the street, walking about all the while she was in the prisoner's house, and joined her when she came out, by previous arrangement. She told me that she did not think Mr. Hamilton had treated her properly, but she did not enter into all the particulars until we had got into the steam-boat, on our way to London-bridge. I saw her home, and met her again in the evening, when we returned to the prisoner's house at half-past seven. I left her outside, and went in myself. I saw Mr. Hamilton lighting up his gas, and when I said that I wished to speak to him he showed me up stairs. I told him that I had called about the young woman who had been with him in the morning, as I was her young man, and understood that he wanted to see me. He said, " She only paid me part of my fee, 65." I asked him what the fee was re quired for ? He replied, " She was with child, and it was for an abortion." I asked him if he was not ashamed of himself for proposing such a thing to her, and demanded the money back again, as he had no right to charge for such a thing. He then ordered me to leave his house, and I did so. By Mr. Hall- -I did not ask him what he bad done to procure abortion. I knew that from the girl herself and I accused him of indecently exposing himself to her, and handling her improperly. His only rep l y was, " Leave my house." When I got outsid e I spo k e to a policeman about it, and he referred us to the police sta tion, where I went and made the charge. When the prisoner was brought to the station he said I tried to get a fee from him, which was a false charge. Cross-examined—l have been out of a situation, un fortunately, about three weeks, in consequence of slack ness of business at my late employer's, Mr. Hogg's, whose shop was lately burnt down. He would be glad to have me back again if he had work to give me. I saw the prosecutrix the day before she went 1,0 the doc tor's (Friday.) I have at times talked to her about going to Australia, and I was away from her nearly a month. Slie knew .my address, but not that I was at home. I saw some painters working at the next house to the prisoner's on Saturday, and think the blinds were half down. By Mr. Hall—l did not notice the blinds when I went into the prisoner's drawing-room, but I observed that it was not at all like a surgery, and certainly a very im proper place to ask a young lady into. Henry Fry, constable F 22, said—l was on duty be tween seven and eight o'clock on Saturday even ing in West Strand, when the prisoner came up and told me that a man had been to him endeavouring to extort money, and using heavy threats. He asked me if I would take him into custody if he came again, and I , replied, " Yes, if I happen to be on duty at the time. About an hour afterwards the witness Smith came to me, and said that he wanted me to accompany him to King William-street, to take the prisoner in charge for committing a rape ; and administering drugs for a has-
