This Company is established with a view to afford the pub lic increased facilities in the conveyance of mails, passengers, 811e cio, and merchandise between England, via Harwich, and the Ports of Rotterdam, Hamburg, Antwerp, &c. A traffic arrangemen t f or a term of years has b een entere d into with the astern Counties Railway Company on advan tageous terms, and the Directors have secured the co-opera tion of the authorities of the Dutch-Rhenish Railway Cora l:4llY, and the other inland navigation and railway establish ments in Holland and Germany, all of whom are so convinced of the advantages to be derived from this line of communica tion,as the most desirable for passenger traffic, and the Speedy conveyance of merchandise and perishable goods, that they are anxious to promote the views of this Company to the fullest possible extent. Tile town of Harwich is 68 miles from London by railway, and its port is the most convenient for.direct communication between London and all the great seaports in Holland and Belgium, and thence to the northern and central parts of the continent of Europe. Passengers proceeding to India via Trieste, by Harwich, Rotterdam, and the Duteh-Rhenish Railway, will effect a saving of 48 hours, as compared with the route via Marseilles; the line from Rotterdam to Trieste being on the eve of com. pletion without a break. The harbour of Harwich is safe, commodious, and easy of accoss in all weathers and states of the tide—advantages which no other port possesses on the eastern coast south of the Humber. By the opening of this route via Harwich the dangers and delays of the intricate navigation of the Swin and the mouth of the River Thames are avoided, whereby a saving of time is effected to Hamburgh, Rotterdam, and Antwerp of from 10 to 11 hours; whilst the route to Oberhausen and thence to the northern parts of Europe is four hours and a quarter less by Harwich and Rotterdam than that by Dover and Ostend, as per tabular statement, and thus the former must become the direct route of postal communication.

STAMPED 5D an inquiry ving on about a'box of wearing apparel, the property of the witness, and which had been safe in his bedroom when he left home. Tidytnan, a labOurer, living opposite the German, de posed to seeing the prisoner staggering" :thing with a heavy box err his shoulder, and this appearing suspicious he and a man named Crouch folfo wed and questioned him. Prisoner offered to show where he had got the box from and Crouch was going with him, leaving wit ness in charge of the box when a cry of " Stop, thiet," was raised, and the prisoner instantly took to his heels. 53 H depoeni to hearing shoutitt and clan-ion, and on getting up found the prisoner surrounded by a mob, who said he hal juet broken into a - Nouse, and one man produced a shirt the prisoner had thrown away in his flight. On taking him back to the prosecutor's house the shutter of the lower window was discovered to have been forced open, and an entrance gained that way, and on the prosecutor coming np he claimed the goods as hie 'property, and gave the prisoner into custody. Mr. D'Eyncourt (to prisoner)—Are you upon fur lough, and-do you wish to ask the witness any ques tions ? Prisoner—Yes, Sir, I am upon furlough, and about to join the 3d Dragoon Guards, now under orders for India. I don't 'wish to ask questions, but I should like to say a few words, if you'd let me.. Mr. D'Eyncourt—Yes, certainly ; do so. Prisoner—Well, Sir, I met the prosecutor's wife last Saturday week in Whitechapel, and she asked me to treat her. That was the first time I saw her, but I did so, and we went to a coffee-house there kept by a person named Hughes, and afterwards I went to her house and stayed with her there all night. Next morning, after I had left, I missed several things from my pockets, and among others - a peculiar knife gi ven t o me b y the owner. . ... „.. ,-, lino at.S.heffield on my return from the Crimea,' - wl . my name, regiment, and the engagements I had been in upon it. As I wanted to get back my knife, I went to the prosecutor's, as be says, but saw. him and his wife together. I did not wish him to know of my previous acquaintance with his wife, and therefore asked for a Smith, and, having proffered some drink, the wife then sent her husband out upon some pretence, and I, in presence of the landlady, asked the wife for my knife. The landlady said, " What ! is that knife yours ? What a pretty one 1" and the wife then fetched the knife, and returned it to me. ' Mr. D'Eyncourt 7 —Well, and allowing all that you say to be true, it does not at all meet this charge of robbery against you. Prisoner—Oh, I know nothing whatever about tha box. The officer having intimated that the wife was out side, and the plis , ner expressing a wigh to have her questioned, she was called in. She was a tidy, neat looking woman of 30, and on her getting into the wit neßs-5 the magistrate asked her, ."Did you ever see this knife before I" Wife—Yet., Sir, on Saturday night, at the station house, when the prisoner produoed it. Mr. D'Eyunurt—And did you over see the prisoner before thot time ? Wife—Never, Sir. Mr. D'Epicourt (to the prisoner)—Well, I shall re. amid hr a week. Pri'o❑cr—l am very sorry, sir, to be obliged to tel .on all this at, int this man's wife, but I assure you notwithstanding, that it is all perfectly true, mil I do hope that at the next examination you will have both the landlady of the prcaecutor's house, and also Mr Florzhe., the c)ffee-house keeper, brought here and ex atolind. Tile prisoner said this very earnestly, and, Mr D'Ey neourt havinz replied "Certainly; let the officer see to that," the prisoner was remanded.

Mr. Wentheim said it was the practice of journeymen tail , rs to get work to do at their own houses, and to keep it until xtortionate prices for their labour were pa;d. As these workmen generally knew whether the job they were on was a time job, that is, for a wedding or a funeral, and that the garments must be delivered by a fixed time, they seldom tailed to carry their point. The defendant had obtained two ceata to make a fortnight ago, and bad not; yet sent them home. The defendant said the reason was that the complainant gave him a coat to make, telling him to make it A. 1, meaning in first-rate style. He worked four days. on the coat, and was' only paid 125., which was not suffi cient payment for his time, considering that he had to find silk and thread. As he expected to be served in the same way with these two coats, he did not send then home, but was willing to give them up on payment of 245. for his labour. Mr. Wentheina would pay the money, but he had a set off of 17s. 61 for cloth sold to the defendant. Mr. iJoidon said be could not set off goods against labour, unless there was a previous agreement. Mr. Wentheizu wished to -know whether a workman was hound tofgliver goods give'i out to him at the s hop fro 'tvhicb he' 4aelfig&ltitti. Mr. 133.iden said c er tai n ty a workman must take back work to the shop from whi c h h e rece i ve d i t, b ut h e need not deliver up.the g oo d s b e f ore h e go t th e money. The order was made for the d e li ver y o f ,th e coa t s on paympt of 245. LA. M BETE'. Yesterday, Mary Webb, Hariet Worsfold, and Mary Kingsgate, kitchen maids at the Crystal Palace, were charged with carrying away no lees than 82 pounds weight of beef, mutton, ham, fowl, veal, butter, soap, fl-mr, bread, p as t r y, b es id es eggs and fruit, the property of the Messrs. Staples, of the Albion Tavern, .llders , ' ate-str,et, who are contractors for r e f res h men t s at the Crystal Thilace. James Scull, a waiter at the palace, was a!so charged with a similar offence, and Alfred Kingszate, the husband of one of the female pri soners, was charged with receiving some property found at his house, thl urging to the Messrs. Staples. From the evidence it appeared that Mr. Lund and S,ijeant Coppin stationed themselves oppsito to the gate at which the servants of Messrs. Staples leave at night, and when the females came out they foil iwed and stopped them, and at the station-housefound each loaded with prep-rty t -f every description, in large pockets tied round their shoulders, body, and waist, and placed in side their dress. On one of them al-one was concealed no less than 321bs. weight of different articles. Scull was also taken with a bag in his possession, containing 31bs. weight of beef, barn, fowl, and other articles, and at the house of Kingegate was found 21bs. of butter, some bread, and a steel. The prisoners' solicitor hoped that both the prosecu tors and Irs worship would deal leniently with the pri soners, who had up to the present borne a vied charac ter, and treat their offence summarily for the unlawful possessi ,n. Mr. Norton observe,' that the offence was one of a wholesale and ruinous character, against which no amount of capital could stand. He should remand the prisoners to a future day to give time to inquire about their character, and on the account he received of them would depend in a great measure the mode in which he should ultimately dispose of the case. The prisoners were then remandee, THE • CASE OF THE LATE CONSTABLE JORDAN.—The following sums have been received for the widow of Jor dan , the policeman, who lost his life by the brutality of a Crimean soldier, viz. : —5l. from J.

THAMES.—Alexander Harnett Clark, photographic artist, £, Sun-court, Upper East Smithfield, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with causing the death of Eliza Bunn, a married w oman , b y str iki ng her on the head with a hammer. The prisoner was fined 20s. for the assault, which it was alleged caused the death of the woman a few days ago. Since the fine the poor woman was attacked by illness, and died yesterday. It appeared that the prisoner was hanging some pho tographic portraits to a nail, and that the deceased en tered his shop and an altercation took place between them, but what led to it did not appear. The woman scratched the prisoner's face, ant he took up a hammer and struck her on the head. When the case of assault only was heard before, the magistrate thought some pro vocation was given, but not such ,as to justify the pri soner taking up a deadly weapon and striking the woman. After a long investigation, Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner.

The inquiry into the circumstances connected with the death of Abraham Turner, who was one of the 19 men got out of the Lundhill Colliery alive a few hours afterthe explosion, and who died on the foll Owing Saturday, was resumed yesterday at the Bull' s H ea d I nn, B ramp t on , b e f ore M r . T. Badger, coroner. Mr. C. Morton, the Government Inspector was present, as were also the proprietors of the pits. Mr. W. H. Peacock, solicitor, Barnsley, again at tended on behalf of the proprietors. • The following evidence was adduced : John Warhurst, one of the firemen, was recrlled and said--I bad a conversation with William Lodge,.one of the miners, on the evening of the 18th of February, the day preceding the explosion. Lodga was working in the top level of the Lund hill pit. I went into his place previous to his de scending on the evening of that day, as I always do into all of them. It was about five o'clock when I . did so. I examined and found it quite clear of gas. After all the men had gone to their dinner, and I had got to the bottom, he sent his hurrier, John Earnshaw e for .me. In consequence of what the burlier said, I told him to tell -Lodge that his place was quite safe. I then gave the hurrier a Davy lamp, and told him to tell Lodge to try for himself. In about a quarter of an hour afterwards I went to Lodge on the top level. I found him and his hUrr;er filling a corfe. The lamp was behind the code. I, said, "Now, Lodge, have you tried lit ?" He said, "No, I don't understau . then took up the lamp, and went over the eciarslo the face. Lodge followed me over. I put the lamp up to the roof and said, "Now, you see there -is no gas." He said, "Yes, I see there is none." I then went and sat down along with Lodge. He said he was satisfied there -was-no gas, but added that in case anything, was to happen• what would be the consequence ? I replied, " That very likely - I should be wrong for not making him work with lamps." He said if anything were to happen he should make a bother. .I replied; "As you say so, I will make you - workavith lamps." He said, - Y ? ort won't, I will leave the place first ;". and besides he said, " What occasion is there to work with lamps ?" Lodge said the batteries were a long way off. I said we had gone considerably further very often without brat tices in levels and slits, and I had never seen any gas. The brattices were from 20 to 30 yards from the - faCe; as near as I can judge. According to rule 23, they ought not to have been more than 12 feet from the facing. I never saw occasion for having brattices'at all in the slips or levels, so far as re gards any danger from gas. The coal does not make much - gas on the end, and never has done. In the boards we keep up to rule 23. We have driven levels and slits for more thari 40 yards without any biatt;ce. I believe it is customary in all the pits in the district not to brattice the slits and levels according to rule 23. By Mr: Morton—lt was in the top level, _on the north side, where I was talking with Lodge. There was no other person present except Lodge's hurrier. Lodge was working with candle. What is the greatest distance you have ever driven without brattices slit 4, 42 or 43 yards; in Ledge's place they were from 20 to 30 yards from the face of the level. On that day we had no working place in the pit where the brattices were further from the facings, nor any so far as in Lodge's.. I bad seen all the working places in the pit on the day prior to the exp'osion. Has any other person besides Lodge ever said anything to you about the brattices being so far be= hind ?—Never, plenty have grumbled about their being so near. Have you ever had any consultation with Mr. Coe about brattices ?—I have sometime told him we were short of brattices, or sheeting& He always told me it .1 saw anything wanting to let him know. Mr. Coe has reprimanded me for allowing the brat tices to be so far from the face. That has been in the case of boardgates. He has also at times, said, in reference to the endings and levels, " You must get some brattices up here." But still it has never been our custom to comply with rule 23 in refer ence to brattices in the levels, ends, slits, never having seen any occasion for it, because there was no gas. Who are the persons who saw no such necessity ? —Myself, William Beavers, and William Corbidge. We have consulted together at different times about the brattices not having been kept up in the ends and levels according to rule 23. Has Mr. Coe sanctioned the breach of rule in these respects ?—I am not aware he has been strict wilh us about the brattices in the slits or levels ; bid he has been very strict about brattices in the boardgates. The men working in the boards have cursed and sworn they would go out if we put boards up as ordered by Mr. Coe. Whit orders did Mr. Coe give as to brattices in the boards ?—He ordered. U 9 to keep up with the rule 23. After the men found fault with having the brat tices so near, did you put them up or keep thOm down ?—Sometimes we have put them up and some times on persuasion kept them down, the men not being able-to keep their candles in on account of the current. We had wood shaders to protect the candles, but they sweated away to the extent of five or six in the hour. On the day previous to the explosion there were no brattices in boardgates so much as 12 feet from the face. None of the stop pings or doors were wrong to my knowledge. We have not been in the habit of having more than one slip open near the face of the boardgates or levels. On the day previous to the explosion we had not had any greater fall from tha roof than usual. There had not been any great falls from the roof on that day, but there had been small falls from the roof, which is what is called a tender one and falls readily. I carefully examined the gooves the day before the explosion with a safety lamp. They were quite clear of gas. It was on the evening of the d&y preceding the explosion Pexamined hem. I being in the night shift, left the pit about three o'clock on the morning of the explosion. I did not see gas in any place that morning —did not find a single place from one end of the pit to the other where it would fire at my lamp. The flame of my limp did not show fire at all. We had not one Davy lamp at work on that day in any part of the pi -. It is very seldom we have bad to use lamps, and when we have it has always been iu the boards. • I don't know that they have been required in any place in particular. The board gates, which go straight from the pit bottom, are considerably farther up than the others. We have not had occasion to use lamps in those boardgates for ;ix months at least, not to my knowledge. We have at times had occasion, when there has been a "feeder" or "blower," to use them in the second boardgate, on the north side of the pit. We have sometimes had "feeders" or " blowers" of gas. I don't know that we have had them anywhere but in the second boardgates. The feeders or blowers were very trifling ones. Have you always acquaintel Mr. Coe with it, when you have seen blowers I—l don't recollect that we have had any since Mr. Coe came to the pit, which is only about four months ago. Have you seen Mr. Coe measure the quantity of air in the pit ?—Yes. With' the anemometer ?—Yes. Where ?--In the cupola (air shaft) boardgate, into which the . whole ventilation of the pit is brought. Has section a r l ue alre2a3 of be th en e ai o r b e s o e u r r v s e e d s ? ill r I c e a f nn ere o n t c s e to pe th akth e that ; I don't know what it is. Do you know if there are any aircourses or air crossings less than 30 square feet sectional area as required by rule 237—Yes, there are some less of both kinds. • What is the size of the smallest?—We have some not more than 4ft. square, because the roof is so bad that it crushes the packs down. The Coroner—l asked you last Monday if you could at all account for the explosion. After you have hal a week's consideration I now repeat the question. Can you give me any account of it ex cept what you gave last week ?—I cannot ; unless, as I said last wee k, a trap-door may have been left open. We had boys to attend to the trap doors—one at every door, except those in the slits, which the bunion; open and shut themselves. Mr. Morton.—Has theleaving open of doors often come to your knowledge ?—N o ; we have nine doors at boardends, and as near as I can recollect 25 or 26 in slits. Mr. W. Maddison, of Barnsley, colliery viewer, said—l heard of the explosion at Lundhill shortly after it occurred, and immediately proceeded to the place. I reached there about 20 minutes before 1 o'clock in the afternoon. I found the men had just finished fastening the broken chain in the bead gear, and busy transferring the ropes on the drum, one of them being fastened to the chair in the bottom. Seeing that I could be of some assistance I superintended with one or two others the altera tion of the ropes on the drum ; and not knowing what other means there were at the colliery, and no one to inform me at hand, and knowing also that we had a " crab" with the necessary length of rope attached, I immediately pent for it to Womb well Main Colliery, where lam employed. This " crab" could only be reqUired in case of some un foreseen accident in altering the ropes of the pif.. Every exertion was made, and the unoccupied drawing rope was put into operation by a quartei before 3 o'clock. There was no unnecessary delay. I may just say that I am the manager at the Womb well Main Colliery. As soon as the rope was got into operation, Mr. Coe, along with two of his owls men, got auto the tub and proceeded down the shaft, being drawn to the bank at intervals in con sequence of meeting in their descent with pieces of, timber hanging loose in the shaft, and which it was necessary to remove for their own safety. After being drawn up three or four Imes they at last reached the bottom. Mr. Coe shortly returned to the bank, and asked Mr. Webster and myself to ac company him to the office to examine the plan; which we did. Immediately afterwards, we all pro ceeded to the pit, and together with W. Utley, un derground steward at Wombwell Main Colliery, proceeded to the bottom of the pit. We had very great difficulty in keeping our lights, those in the Davy lamps being altogetherblownup, and wewere compelled to make use of a common blast lamp in order to obtain a light at the bottom. On getting out of the tub a t the bottom, about eight or ten feet from th e ra il s we h a d to scramble over a largo amount of fragments, , apparently of broken slidesjand staves. We then went to what had been the lamp cavern, where we lit our dead lamps. We, immediately proceeded along the south road. The first opening I came to, 15 or 16 yards from the shaft bottom,, was a irspt communication with the bottom of the upcaer a n which Me.*Coeeinformag us there had been two doors, but not a vestige of them remained. The fire at the bottom of the up cast was raging furiously. The whole of the arches of the furnace were one mass of ruin, and the fire was shooting up between the stones. We could also see fire coming down the centre beard-gate directly to the bottom of the upcast shaft. We saw the flames shooting across, effectually stopping us from proceeding further. We continued going to the rise, still with the hope of getting round the fire, and found the coal on fire a t th e p os t o f th e next corner, but so slight that it was afterwards put out. We got about one - pillar higher than this to the rise, which would be .about 70 yards to the rise from the horse-road. At this point Mr. Coe left us, and went still further up, until he could proceed no further for want of air. We then re ns at the leaving g y into the s tu ec r o n n el i b n o t ar o d tl g ie ate h . orse mr -r e oad w , e h n s t horse-road, and he continued along to the south. He joined us in the horse -road about 100 yards from the shaft. We procee led up the south-road about 350 yards, and found three dead bodies. Going to the rise, up every boardgate we came to, until stopped for want of a'r, and the gas fired in the lamps, beyond which we considered it unsafe to proceed, we returned to the downcast shaft. We did not find any persons alive on the south side of the pit. We then went on fhe north side. On the north horse-road, 10 or 12 yards from the bot tom, we saw a horse dead, which had apparently just come to the shaft bottom with a train of coals. I should say he was burnt. In front of him had been four or five tubs, on to the top of which he had been blown by the explosion. Atter going four or five yards fur her north we turned up the board into the stables, and found one horse dead at the en ance and another near it. The stables we found on fire, the fire being principally on the rise side of the stable', at the head, in the boy crib, and on the surrounding coal. We then went down the north horse-road, turning up the first boardgate to get to the other side of the fire. We found the stables on fire there also, and a large body of smoke back ing along the end to the north, which rather led us to suppose there might be fire still further to the north. We could not however perceive any. We then returned to the north horse road, and pro ceeded along it, having a current of air along with us. We found several dead bodies in this horse road. We went up No. 2 boardgate until we again lost our air and could proceed no further. The want of air and firing of the lamps stopped us when we had got 40 or 50 yards up. Again returning to the north horse-road we proceeded along it, exa mining the stoppings as we went, and finding some of them not seriously injured we went up No. 3 boardgate about 40 or 50 yards, and had again to return in consequence of the want of air and firing of the gas in our lamps. We continued up the north horse-cold until we reached within 40_yards of the facing, and at the end of the fourth board= gate., We then found a body which; I think, was dreadfully burnt, but it was so black I could not tell positively. Some one of the party—l think Mr. Coe—proceeded to a water level, which was being driven in the dip to the east, and where a man would bs working at tlie time of the explosion. His body was found there, and brought into the horse-road. At this time Warhurst came to us from the shaft bottom, saying, if we did not at once return there would be no means of escape. I should say this would be about a quarter to 7 o'clock. We did not even then leave the No. 4 boardgate until we had examined every direction in which it was possible for any one to live. One of the party—l believe Mr. Coe—went up to the No. 4 boardgate. We in no case returned until the lamps fired. We also examined minutely three or four places which were being driven to the dip similar to the one I have previously spoken of, but did not find any body dead or living in them, those who had been working there having evidently escaped. We then returned on the north boardgate, conntingthe bodies o as we passed, and fou n d them to be eight, the last which we had not ob ser ved at all in going north, and only discovered it, in returning, from my foot touching the body. It was lying under a tub of coals. On getting near the shalt we again went towards the south end of the stables, in which we found the fire raging so furiously that it was utterly impossible for us to go near it. The whole length of the stables, and evidently from that point to the centre boardgate—a length of upwards of 100 yards —was in one white sheet of flame. The sides of the coal, timber, and everything inflammable, were on fire. It was fearful to contemplate the differ ence that had taken place in the state of the fire be tween the time of our going up the north boardgate and returning again. In the first instance we might have gone up to the fi re an d ki c ked it with our feet ; but, in the second, we durst not go within several yards of it. We went from the bot tom of the downcast to the bottom of the upcast, the whole of the bottom of which was one white heat. It was like the bottom of a melting-furnace. Before going along the north horse-road we had or dered that the bodies of the three men found in the south horse-road should be brought to the shaft bottom as quickly as possible in order that they might be sent to bank. On arriving at the shaft bo.tom from the north horse-road we gave similar instructions with respect to the eight bodies found in that horse-road. The men proceeded to perform that duty. We did not leave the pit until I myself felt convinced beyond a doubt that there could not be by possibility any living person in the pit, ex cepting those who had descended after the explo sion. We then came out of the pit. It was about half-past seven when we got out. We thereupon went to the office to consult with the owners of the colliery as to the best and most efficient means in that emergency. We had .not left the pit many minutes before the whole of the men whom we had left down came out, declaring it utterly impossible for them to remain any longer. When we got into the office there were present Mr. R C. Webster, of Hoyland, Mr, Joseph Coe (the underground steward), Mr. William Utley, of Wombwell Main Colliery, and Mr. John Hoyland, of Rawmarah Colliery, Mr. Duckworth, of Wombwell Main Col liery, James Cookson ! of Hoyland, Wm. Beever, John Warhurst, Benjamin Hoyland, Durley North Main, John James, and Ellis Wilcock, both of Wombwell Main. All these men are connected with collieries, and bad been down the pit. Mr. Taylor (proprietor) and Mr. Peacock (solicitor) were also present. There was a consultation, and the question was put to each of them as to whether anything further could then be done for the reco very of the bodies, or whether in their opinion, any one was still in the pit. The answer of each was, " I am decidedly' of opinion, since examining the pit, that there is not now a living person in the pit, and that at this hour (1.49) it would be dan gerous for any man to descend the pit for any pur pose whatever, and that the only way now the fire is raging so fiercely is to close the downcast shafts, and I think it should be done immediately." When we came out of the pit there was a very strong current, and the flames were just peeping out of cupola shaft, and at 7.40 they had risen up wards of 100 feet above the cupola top, and the sparks rose to at least 300 feet in the, air. In pur suance of our unanimous decision we then closed the top of the downcast shafts, leaving the cupola open. Icannot any ex o amination form any one object to closing opinion as to what was the cause of th e explosion. B the pit ? No one. From my experience of y Mr. fro Morton—Didm m y col lieries every exertion was made to get into the pit as speedily as possible. Mr. Morton--Can you form any opinion as to the utmost extent of the flames 'westwards from the bottom of the upcast shaft I Upwards of 50 yards when I saw it, but ultimately I should say from 70 to 80 yards west. The western extremity of the flames would be eight yards above•the horse-road. There was afterdamp, but not so much of that as of _explosive gas. I cannot tell where there were the greatest indications of ignited gas. Gas in a state of ignition had prevailed along the horse-road from the two extremes of our journey, which is nearly half a I cannot speak positively, • but should say that ignited gas had existed up -the several boardgates. By the Foreman.—l could not have suggested a better plan to get earlier into the colliery. The best means were adopted. There was no deficiency of ropes or anything else actually nece-sary to get down. Things were sent for, such as duplicate workings, with the idea that they mi g ht poss ibl y 'be required. The inquiry was proceeding when our report was sent off. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT.—BERTFORD. Menu( 2. The business of the .Home C ir cuit commence d h ere to-day. There were six cases entered for trial on the Civil Side, one of which only is a special- jury case. On the Crown Side there are sixteen prisoners for trial, but a good many of the charges are of an ordinary descrip tion; Mr. Justice Cresswell sat on the Civil Side, and Mr. Baron Channell, the newly appointed judge, pre sided in the Crown Court. CIVIL SlDE,—(Before gr. Justice Crcsswt 11 and a Cnn mon Jury.) Tvrrir ---- This was an action to recover damages for injuries that were alleged to have been occasioned by the negli gence of the servant of the defendant. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Hawkins were counsel for the plaintiffs; Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., was for the defendant. It appeared that the defendant was an undertaker in Bethnal-green, and that he had been engaged to conduct the funeral of a Mr. Writer, the landlord of the Seven Stars public-house, Bethnid green, by his widow. The plaintiffs were related to Mrs. Writer, and at her re quest they accompanied the deceased to the grave, and on their return it appeared that CAI carriage in which they and five other mourners were seated vas over turned, and the plaintiff's wife received very severe in juries upon her head and hands, and it was to recover compensation for these injuries that the present action was brought against the defendant, it being' alleged that the accident was occasioned by the negligent manner in which his servant drove the coach containing the mour ners. The case on the part of the defendant was that the man who drove the mourning coach was not Ile servant of the defendant, but that he was engaged at the request of Mrs. Writer, who wished to get him a job, and it was also contended that there had been no ne gligence on his part in driving, and that the accident was occasioned by a waggon driving against the mourn ing coach and compelling him to back his horse to get out of the way, and that in so doing the hind wheels got up ;n the pavement, and, offing to there being so large a number of persons inside, tue coach was overset. The man who drove the coach upon the ones-ion was called as a witness, and he stated that the accident was entirely occasioned by the waggon suddenly polling out upon him as he was passing under a railway arch ; and he also proved that Mrs. Writer paid birn 3s. for driv ing the mourners to the funeral, and said that, be consi dered he was engaged by her. The jury returned a verdict for the defendant. CROWN SlDE.—(Before Mr. B Lron Channell.) Charles Tipple; 39, a surgeon of Baldock, surrendered to take his trial upon a charge of fel ,ni)n-ly adminis tering certain nauseous drugs to one Carellne Bowley, and used other means to procure her nii-carriage. The jury, without hesitation, returned a verdict of not guilty. SOIJTS WALES CIRCUIT.—SWANSEA, March 2. (Before Mr. Baron Watqua.) THE OYMMER COLLIERY EXPLOSION. Jabez Thomas, Rowland Rowlands, and Blorgau Rowlands were tried at Swansea yesterday, cbargrf.d with the wilful murder of Wm. Thomas, Samuel EJ monde, and another, on the 15th of July 1-t.t. It will be recollected that an expl ,sion took pl toe at the above colliery on that day in question, by which 114 persons were unfortunately killed. The prisoner Jabez Thomas was manager of the pit, and the other prisoners were employed in the superin tendence of it, and the question appeared to be whether the lamentable accident had arisen in consequence of the neglect of proper precautions by the prisoners. The jury returned a verdict of acquittal. POLICE INTELLIGELYCE--.ll:arch 2. MANSION-HOUSE.—The Lord Mayor, upon tak ing the chair in the justice room, said be was happy t : , find that the attention of the Poor Law Boaz,' had been directed to the condition of the casual ward of the West London Union at Battle-bridge, and that steps were about to be taken for making better accommodation for the re ception of the casual paupers. He had expressly stated on a former occasion that the males and females were not huddled together, but were kept in distinct compartments of that institution, and he thought it necessary to make that statement, in order to remove an impression which seemed to have somehow gained carrency, that he bad used an observation to which he had never given utter ance. He was confirmed in the opinion he had previously expressed, of the deplorable want of accommodation in the building to which he alluded, by his friend Mr. Moore, of the firm of Copstake, Moore, end Co., of Bow-church yard, so well known for extensive philanthropy, who upon a recent visit to the place was shocked to find that human beings were subjected to such degradation. His lordship then said be would take-the lioerty to suggest that as there were several unoccupied buildings in the vicinity of the old Smithfield-market, which could he ad vantageously appropriated to the purposes of the West London Union, the guardians could not do better than make a selection from that neighbourhood for the ac commodationof the numerous claimants whom necessity has driven into inevitable dependence. He hoped that the matter would not rest, and he declared tha - , it was his determined intention to call upon the commissioners of the Poor-law Board, for the purpose of submitting to them the urgent necessity which existed fur energetic action upon the occasion. WORSHIP-STREET.—Two smartly dressed young men, named Thomas Charters and William Baker, were charged with the commission of the following artful and daring robberies. _ It appeared from the evidence that on the morning of Monday se'nnight, while a lady named Wakeling, resid ing in Merrion-place, Hackney-road, was seated in her parlour, she was inf)rme i by her servant that a young gentleman was waiting in the pas-ag 3 who had requested permission to search the garden fur a ball which he had accidentally thrown over the back wall. At the same moment, the prisoner Charters appeared et the door and reiterated the request with such profuse apologies for his intrusion, that Mrs. Wakeliug was in duced to accompany him to the garden, and after a pro tracted search to no purpdse, they were returning through the house, when a man whom she recognised as the pri soner Baker, suddenly emerged from the parlour aid darted out at the street door, which had been incau tiously left open. The prisoner Charters instantly hastened after him, with the observation that he would soon catch the scoundrel and bring him back, but no thing more was seen of either of them, arid on entering the parlour she found that her husband's watch had been abstracted inm the mantel-piece. Oa the after noon of the same day, a lady named Burbidge was pw sing through the Hackney-2 odd on her way to her resi dence in Patriot-square, Cambridge-heath, when she felt a sudden pressure at her side, and on turning her head she observed Charters and another man closely following her; Their furtive intentions were so unmistakeable that she rapidly removed her purse from her pocket, and was holding it tightly in her hand, when the pri soner Charters grasped her by the arm, and forcing her fingers asunder secured the purse, with which he darted off at full speed. A gentleman who had witnessed the transaction immediately pursued the pri soner, and after a lengthened chase he was overtaken at the side of a lofty wall, which he mounted with cat like agility, but before he could descend on the other side he was dragged down by the legs, and handed over to the police. The other prisoner succeeded in eluding appre• hension until the following Thursday, when he was taiten into custody for being concerned in another robbery in Bartholomew -square, and after a brief examination t sore the magistrates of that district he was transferred to this court. Mr. Lewis, Jan., called two witnesses with the view of establishing an alibi on behalf of Baker with regard to the first charge, but the magistrate considered that the evidence was perfectly conclusive against both prisoners, and ordered them to be committed for trial. Joseph Edwards, a private in the 4th Dragoon Guards, was charged before Mr. D'Eyncouit with the following robbery : Mr. G. Sehbard, a German leatherdresserin Heneage street, Bethnal-green, stated that while preparing to go out with his wife, at 8 o'clock on Saturday evening, the prisoner, who was a total stranger to him, knocked at the door and asked for Mr. Smith, ofOxford-street. Wit ness told him there was no Mr. Smith there, nor any Oxford-street in that neighbourhood, and explained to him that the streets of that name he knew were at the West-end and Stepney. The prisoner apologised for the trouble he had given, and wished them to drink at his expense. Witness refused, but the prisoner persisted, fetched some gin, and with great persuasion, or " force," as the German expressed it, he, his wife, and another woman were induced to take a small quantity of it. H e and his wife then left for Whitechapel, the prisoner say. ing he would go with them, and he did so, till at last the prosecutor found his company a nui, , auce, wanted to get rid of him, and told him bluntly, "I want no mere of your society ; you had better go." The prisoner readily took the hint and left them, and cn the prose cutor and his wife getting home they found the street in confusion, the prisoner in custody of a policeman, and -- e ~~o%C • -•• ? ;NEWSPAPER i 4 A _,„,„ _ ti)...traWlra* ~., - r- , -.4 Croake It 1; +' ;" ~-,. ~ire : ..., ar. n, and I'. =, .. : ,.,d- : ki;; ► c o hip the 3d ba klion tieli : renad iel , attalion of ttinolarstrea a Pruards.

R. Nugent, midihipmtn, aged 20, and five seamen, heat their lives, while so free from turbulence was the channel between the island and ship that two of the crew swam back to . the shore, a distance of two miles in the wind's eye, and another gained the ship with the sad intelligence. " All the united efforts of the small craft of Ovo lan, and - the ship's boats failed •in even recovering the bodies of our lamented shipmates. - " The names of the seamen drowned were—Geo.

The widening of the entrance dock is to cost 8,0001., and the lengthening and widening of the dock which has been so long in hand is to cost 20,0001. this year. The two new slips and the boat basin extending along the wharf are also to be vigorously carried on, and these, with provision for scouring away the mud between the Cair Spit and the dockyard back in front of the dockyard, will cost 30,000 7 . It is proposed to im- Prove the navigation in front of the yard, and to thepen and widen very materially the channel. This will be done by removing large quantities of mud which have been for years accumulating. The roof over slip No. 12 is to be extended k e ward, and altogether the sum. appropriated to this will be 10,000/. The erection of larger sawmills, engine house, workshops, a new foundry, and plumbers' . shops, is to cost upwards of 20,0001. The sawmills are advancing towards crmpletion, and the sheds over Nos. 1 and 2 ara being extended seaward. The foundry is to be erected on the site of he old iron store.

London sausages—including the subdivisions of saveloys, back-puddings, and p9tonies—have al ways been regard.-d as somewhat dubious articles of food, being neither fish, flesh, fowl, nor good red-herring. The process of their manufacture has been described as equivalent to a practical illus tration of the ada•ze " Give a dog a bad name, and hang him." gorses, dogs, an cats are re puted to startle with prophetic dread at the sound of a sausage-machine ; and writers on instinct can adduce no parallel incident to that recorded by the disconsolate sportsman, who, whilst regretfully whistling the summons of his lost Ponto, observed 'some sausages in a neighbouring window simulta treously wagging their tails. We have lately learnt that these insinuations present the proceedings of London sausage-makers in a rather favourable l'ght. It appears that they consider tender young horseflesh, the meat of a defunct poodle, or the mortal r6rnains of a cat that has departed her i ,ninth life, as - " Too good _brim= nature's ea r food." It is their cus t om , as reported by one of themselves, to convert into sausages meat entirely unfit for hu man consumption ; whether rendered putrid by keeping, or unwholesome by the diseased condition of the animal which supplied it. Our information concerning the poisonous influ ence of diseased or tainted meat has hitherto been principally derived from continental sources. This is not due to any supererninent honesty on the part of our British dealers, but to the absence of any effectual system of Medicp,l Police in this country, until the appointment last year of the Medical Offi cers of Health. One of these gentlemen, Dr. Aldis, of St. George's, Hanover-square, district—recently applied to the magistrate for an order to burn or bury a quantity of offensive and putrid meat (amounting to a hundredweight and a half) lying on the premises of a sausage-maker in Gros venor-row, Pimlico, which was being con verted into sausages. Dr. Aldis and one of his in spectors described the filthy state of the meat. The defendant then observed, "It would be quite useless for him to think of carrying on business if proceed ings like the present were to be taken against him, for there was not a sausage-maker's in London but where the same description of meat was used." As regards th's man personally, we may remark that it is possible society would recover the shock, even if lie were to shut up shop. Now, the experiments of Gaspard and Magendie have proved that putrid animal matter introduced into the system of healthy animals induced a dis ease closely resembling the typhoid fever of man ; and Dr. Christison records a c ice where the lives of a whole family were jeopardised, and one of its members died, from partaking of broth made from meat like that above described. Amongst our London poor, who consume the abominable gar bage of which, according to the above st+tem:nt, cheap sausages are composed, it is not unusual to meet wi h cases of fever, the cause of which is in volved in mystery ; and it is impossible to believe that putrid meat, however spiced, may be eaten with imliunity, especially by a half-starved human being, living iu a vitia‘ed atmosphere, and often with a gin -sodden constitution. More than this, there occasionally occur amongst our poor, cases of disease of a most anomalous kind, and presenting many of those indefinite symptoms which accompany the disease recognised in Ger many as due to unwholesome sausages, and distin guished as a special kind of poison. In Wirtem burg, there occurred, in twenty years, 155 cases, distinctly traced to the "sausage poison ;" and of these 84 died. In districts where the sausages are eaten fresh, the disease is correspondingly r are . The symptoms are slow in progress and most inde finite : abdominal pains ; tormina ; oppressed re spiration ; irregular action of the heart ; constipa tion, sometimes alternating with diarrhoea ; dimi nution of the secretions and of nervous energy ; t h h o e ar h se al mice an a d nd f f ee re t qu d e ry n tacnodughhot These ; a ° s cold most o m ij a fo rk influence of the ani ma l poison, and which wear a symptomsdeathn aid e a d w o l a y I t I s e t t h h ead f from syncope. Now it is in no way proved that the sausage poison of Germany is confined to that country. On the other hand we have it stated by a manufactu rer , th at the ' putrefaction most likely to generate a poisonous condition is the normal state of the sausages supplied for poor of London. The subject is one deservi n g ear nest attention, especially as we are warned that the terrible murrain which in 1745 d es troyed f_30,000 cattle in one y ear i s now ap p r oaching our shores. It is evid en t t h at the consc i e ntious folks _o h cut up decomposed flesh into sausages wo uld be little likely to feel any qualms o f conscience about the t to the same purpose. conversion of diseased.. without f nary [.kDvx R la rrs e x ci inn icie 'r eare .
