THE sUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 23, 1847 CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, e have received Cape of Good Hope papers to the ~ f April iticlu.ive, from which we regret to lelra he Kafir war if; not yet at an end. Although much the hostile tribes carry on a bold deAultory to the enntinligl :innoyanc:, ;!r.d logs ~f the colo als : dyer -\ U il 14 ) a,-.e ts I.VClliilg boil tne tins week, vxe, go details that indicate a determination to resist to the on the part of some of the Kafir tribes. Two a have fallen, and some officers of rank, it is said, the ,eeenor and the Commander of the Forces amongst ners have had narrow escapes from the balls of lurking envies. From Mossel-bay intelligence has been received of the :eatable death of Dr. Syme. It appears that Dr. ,ne, son of Mr. John Syme, of this town, on his arri- I at Alossel-bay, went in a boat to view a small rocky net in the vicinity, accompanied by the maiter of the asset, a young friend and a boy ; the weather being nc , , and the sea perfectly tranquil at the tittle. Nothing farther known of the party but that all have perished, le body of Dr. Syme alone being found on the beach. THE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH KENT RAILWAY. On Monday the inqu'ry into the circumstances atten dant upon the deaths of Frederick Messenger and Mary Twistleton, caused by the failing in of the arch of the Gravesend and North Kent Railway (now in the course f ..action), er,,ssing Gr,it street, Southwark, a 4 -nt« , r. , d upon Mr. Witham Carter. The inquiry w held in the board. room of St. John's workhouse, and excited considerable interest, a large number of persons officially connected with the railway being present to watch the proceedings. The usual preliminaries having been gone through, the jury proceeded to view the bodies, and then inspected the spot where the accident occurred. Evidence was first taken for the identification of the bodies. Policeman George Hooper, lit 179, deposed that he was on duty on Friday evening in Great Russell-street, when he was informed that the accident had taken place. Having ascertained the nature of the accident, he forthwith sent to the station for assistance, and forty men were immediately sent. The fallen materials were removed, and in about an hour the two deceased persons were found. The CORONER—Was your attention directed to the arch during the day? Witness—Nothing further than that in my usual walks round my beat I stood looking at the men striking the centres. The CORONER—Did you take any particular notice of them ? Witness Nothing beyond stopping a few minutes to look at them. In answer to a series of inquiries from the coroner (From the Frontier Times.) A letter from the frontier states— " Things in Kafirland are i❑ a very unsettled state, so that not a day nor an hour is to be lost; there is an undercurrent working in Kafirland, the effect of which, perhaps, will be seen when too late. Lately there was a rumour that Sandilla's and Boatman's men were mov ing the Amatola; that Pato had sent a message to San dilla to say that if he had made such a stand against the :English as he had, things would be quite different to what they are; and that the Gaikas were going over to Creli. The Kafirs are scarcely afraid of the force now on the frontier. They care little for our English soldiers. They will keep out of the way of the cannon and Dragoons; they chiefly dread the Cape Riflemen and Hottentots. I suppose all our eyes are now upon .Sir Henry Pottinger, but he will be an extraordinary !Tian if he be able to settle affairs without a larger force on the frontier, and if this is required, where will he get 1 1 it? and in one day it may be required. Fires hare lately been seen upon Gaika's Peak, which are considered as signs for something. The Boers on the posts on the north-east boundary have all dispersed sine Sir Andries resigned. They were designed to keep tlif Tambookies and Creli in awe, or to come to assist to subdue the Gaikas, &e. The resignation of Sir Andries was one of the greatest calamities that has happened to us." SATURDAY.—lnformation received that Lieutenant W. Hyde, Fingo Levy, with a party of his men, lately fell ut'en some Kafirs at Hell Poort, capturing a gun and three bundles of assagais. One Kafir was killed, and another, it is supposed was wounded. (From the Eastern Province Herald.) 'The following extract from a letter from the first divi sion of the army contain the latest particulars received from the scene of the present operations of the troops. It will be seen with regret that two more colonists have fallen by the hands of the enemy, the result of their own imprudence. There -ought to be a general order pro hibiting small parties from moving about the enemy's country. It is *supposed that the " friendly" Kafirs who visited the General's camp gave notice to their country men of the march of the Uitenhage burghers, and thus led to the attack upon them, and to the subsequmt loss ,of the two burghers above alluded to. The attack was made in Nonibi's territory. and jurors, The witness stated that the men engaged appeared to be labourers or carpenters, and that they seemed to be fully competent to their work. The ropes from the different poles upon the arches were so fixed that a cart might pass through without being entangled, provided the driver were very careful, but he did not believe that two carts proceeding in opposite directions could pass at the same time. There was a great deal of lime and stone lying on one side of the road under the arch, so much so, indeed, as entirely to block up--the customary pathway. He saw two or three of the centres lowered, and they were done easily and without any apparent danger. Charles 'Smith, shoemaker, of Maltby-street, Ber mondsey, said he was standing in his shop, contiguous to the railway, on Friday evening. when he beard a noise, and saw under the archway a cart, and a horse rearing up on his hind legs. He ran and seized it by the.bridle, and wasi assisted by some man who came up at- the time. He saw some ropes hanging from the cart, which was entangled amongst them ; the horse was endea vouring to effect his escape, and was plunging in the most violent manner. The cart contained sand, or something of the sort, and belonged to some of the-work people. He had frequently seen it up and down Maltby street.. He did not think the ropes belonged to the cart, but to the tackle under the railway arch. He looked up and saw the top of the arch rise, the light showing itself through. It then fell with a fearful crash. The horse and cart became released, but by whom he did not know. William Houghton, who drove the cart alluded to, said he worked for Mr. Dawson, who was connected with the - line. He stated that at the time of the accident he was going to the railway with some ballast, and was passing through the arch for that purpose, walking in front of his horse. Suddenly the cart became entangled in the ropes, and the horse plunged violently in his at tempt to get away. The ropes were connected with a pole in the middle of the arch, but he did not know what was the use of that pole. - Shortly afterwards the arch fell in, and the horse was released. Thomas Dunner, a wheelwright, resident on the spot; was examined at great length with iespect to the cause of the accident. He expressed his conviction that it arose from the loosening of the " ribs" and ‘‘ centres," consequent upon the entanglement of the horse with the ropes. He considered that the arch was well constructed, that the workmen were very skilful, and that the arch would have been perfectly safe had not the accident alluded to occurred. A lengthened discussion took place between the jury as to the desirableness of appointing some competent person to inspect the works. This was eventually agreed to, and the inquiry was adjourned until Monday next. " Wesleyville, March 31. " The Somerset burghers arrived this afternoon. The General, who was riding out this morning, was fired at by the enemy, who have just fired into our camp. The -.aggon train was attacked yesterday, but the Rifles kept o Such s steady fire upon them that they soon silent. d -m. Aboat 150 shots were exchanged in this affair. Fingo was killed, and an ox wounded. '1 he El4firs 4ve tried frequently to burn the grass, but it was too green." " Mouth of the Buffalo. Some of the waggons proceeding to this place were `acked, and the party were obliged to retreat to an 2ri space and send back for a reinforcement. We have ,t two 'burghers, Mr. Blakemore and a Dutch burgher, o were latelp shot. Major Smith, 73 d ,- Was fired at in . le vicinity of the camp last night, as he was sitting at ;e edge of a bush, and hit in the shoulder. He is con led to his bed in consequence, but is doing well. Stock hi Nonibi left' this morning, having offered to protect it dank and all along the Buffalo line. Captain Arm rong. C.M.R , and Lieutenant Gregory, RA., were also :iot at as they were out shooting." From another source we learn— EXTRAORDINARY ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY. An accident of a very extensive nature occurred upon this railway last Saturday morning, and was attended with great loss of life, not we are happy to state to any human being,. but to a great number of sheep and calves; the guards of the train, however, experienced a very narrow escape. The accident resulted entirely from the reprehensible practice of having an engine behind the train to assist in propelling it. It appears that the up goods train from .Bristol was running for the Swindon station about two o'clock on that morning, and that after it passes the Chippenham station there is a very steep incline (1 in 90) through a cutting called the Wootton Bassett incline. To assist the goods train up this in dine it is the custom, in addition to the ordinary engine, to *run another engine from the Box station, through the tunnel, to aid in propelling the train. The train in question consisted of nearly 40 waggons and trucks, and amongst them were some timber trucks. These timber trucks, in consequence of the length of the timber, are coupled together by long chains ; one of the timber. trucks was the fourth from the leading engine ; and in going up the incline, it seems that ne of the connecting chains of the first portion of this timber truck by some means became unfastened, and dragged on the line for some distance, until it came to a crossing, where the end of the chain caught, and caused a momentary check to the first part of the train. The hinder part of the timber truck was forced by the behind propelling engine on to the spot where the end of tl,c chain had become hitched, and thereby caused a resist ance, when the leading engine broke away with the foremost carriages, but the propelling engine being driven at full speed forced the truck which had been checked by the end of the chain, with several others Which had also broken away, up a slope more than 12 feet high, and into an adjoining field. The last of the trucks so forced up remained at the base of the'slope ; and from the speed_ at which the engine was propelling the train could not fall back on the line, but bumped against the remaining waggons as they passed, com pletely cutting their side stanchions and timber as the train brushed past. The rest of the waggons and.trucks, with the propelling - engine, went past the trucks on the slope, - and ran some distance, when it is conjeciured that some of the timber which had been thrown from the timber trucks caused a gon's truck to be thrown over the rail's; and the propelling engine, still driving at full speed, completely doubled up the waggons and trucks before it, scattering them in all directions. Some of them was literally smashed to pieces, and upwards of 90 sheep and some calves were killed. The .resistance caused by the end of the chain falling into the crossing gave no intimation to the driver of the propelling en gine that the first portion of the train had broken away with the leading engine; therefore he continued driving at fulrapeed, and iri a moment the waggons and trucks were Scatteredabout. The officers of 'the Great West ern Rail Way CoMpany, with their Usual promptitude, directly assembled .is number Of men, - and by great ex , ertion the-rail' was cleared without any detention to the other• trains.' Until-tately it was the practice7of the company to propel' ths - yassenger train& thrtiugh the Bees tunnel 'by -an engine behind; but the public raised 'inch' an outcry - (and very' properly so) itiainbt that practice, that the company'were obliged to desist. Had even the above accident occurred in the:Box , tunnel, instead of in an open cutting, the consequence would have been much more serious; as it is, the guards"of the luggage train escaped by a miracle, as the waggons, both before and behind their truck, were knocked to pieces. It has often been a matter of spe culation what would be the nature of an accident with a passenger train with an engine at both ends propelling. Should an accident occur to the leading engine the effect upon the carriages will be shown by the above accident; and it - needs no comment as to what the re sult would have been to the passengers had it been a _ passenger train. ,* We moved from Wesleyville to within five miles of he Buffalo. Just as we off saddled, the Kafirs fled, Jter firing many shits. News was brought that the Tear waggons had been attacked. A reinforcement was immediately sent, wounding one Fingo. Two shots struck the waggon, just missing a driver. This was on ti:e 30th. A party remaitled behind after we started from the outspan place (previous to the attack made by the Kafirs), and shot one of the enemy. " April Ist---WW' e crossed the Buffalo to scour the country, and took sixty head of cattle. " 2d. Received orders that the Albany Burghers were to form a camp of their own 12 miles from the spot where it was intended to pitch the General's camp, and 12 miles in advance of the one formed by the Uitenhage Burgher?, who would be 12 . miles from Wesleyvilte. We, consequently, marched 85 strong, and took up the best position we could. We passed a quiet night. In the morning the Uitenhage Burghers passed us. Pre viously, however, some Kafirs, who had been to the General's camp with Nonibi, passed us. Soon after wards we heard heavy firing. This did not attract at toltion at first, as parties sometimes fire in a hose manner. We were busy making our camp, but a party of seven (the country being open in front) started to dis cover the cause of the firing. They proceeded to a part of the road Nvliere there was a rocky hill running close •to it, when a party of at least 200 of the enemy rushed :from the bush and rocks. Two young men, Blakemore nod Pixten, jumped from their horses to screen them seivps from the fire of the enemy, and fired at them. The enemy, however, closed upon them,' and they were both killed. The other five returned. Information was immediately sent to the General's camp, and Colonel Somerset soon arrived with a reinforcement, to see if anything. had happened to the Uitenhage Burghers. This party, lam happy to say, are safe. They had two horses and one ox shot. They had two waggons with them, and 150 men, and they killed four of the enemy." ' We are informed that two persons on their way from' Block Drift. last Saturday, near a deep kloof about three re- four miles from Fort Beaufort, observed two Kafirs erred with assegais, driving eight oxen belonging to Mr. Higgs into the bush. The colonists having no arms, by a dexterous stratagem captured the cattle and brought them to Fort Beaufort, the Kafirs following thorn to within a short distance of the town. His Excellency the Governor is about to issue a pro clamation prohibiting the colonists at their peril from Eratlicking with the Kafir tribes, and persons contra vening the order will be considered as being engaged in unauthorised and treasonable communication with the et.4snv. Lieutenant-Colonel Johnstone has, we are roevned, suggested that the restrictions thus imposed • ~ uld be related so as to allow the Kafirs to obtain -wood. milk, Bce. This has been granted. The n. lee of stoppage of intercourse with the Kafirs was made known by the Government Commissioner, Mr. A 'alderwood, at Fort Hare, a few days ago. Colonists t .s, ho , A ever, to be allowed, under certain regulations, employ " friendly" Kafirs as servants under certain rt -illations, one of which is that they are to give in . nt notice of the absconding of such lisfirs. THE WEATHER AND CROPS IN THE HIGHLANDS.- The weather, though on the whole agreeable, is for the niiddl. of June rather coldish, and in the evenings and miings it even feels chill. This year seems intended • , statnp some truth on the description given by a , rtivell4 - whose prejudices were not in favour of Scot ri(l, when he remarked- of her seasons that they con sisted of nine months of winter and three of cold weather. We have had hail, and it is believed frost within the Ist few days. It rained considerably on Tuesday, and ver since the air has been cold. This morning it rained again, but the afternoon brought gloomy, soft-skyed fair weather. The crops, however, continue to Fesent a very good appearance. On some cold thin soils they seem stunted, compared with the tad thick crops waving over deeper earth, and found in warmer Licalities, but even there they , -schibir. better than an average growth. Wheat, Barley, Ores, Peas, and Beans are, to the utmost limits of a reasonable ramble out of town, in a very cheering state of advancement. Over all Ross-shire the crops are beauti:til, and in Moray, Nairn, Sutherland, Caithness, in this county, they present one general idea of plenty. It is plain that rain alone can now mar them as with the thick covering over the ground, the warmest rays of the stir cannot penetrate to it, so as to produce injurious cons- vences. Turnip sowing gees on with spirit, in terrup:ed only by the rain of Monday and Tuesday, wlsicil has thrown the preparation of ground a few days lit bind. To-day's rains will have a similar effect. The hay crop continues to be prosperous, and there is no dec'w in the potatoes.—lnverness Journal.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. - SIR, —Conceiving it to be the bounden duty of every one to offer any suggestion that may occur to him for the prevention of accidents on railways, and more espe cially a recurrence like the lamentablelone in question, I would at once propose that strong and substantial posts should be erected on each side of the line—say a quarter of a mile apart, but so arranged that there should be one or more at the terminus of every station, and an officer attendant at every post, and that the guards, engineers, stokers, and other officers, of every train should have at their command—the same being R ell braced to some part of the carriage—strong ropes or cable chains, with a large noose at the end, so that in an emergency it might be thrown to the officer, who would instantly affix it round the post, similar. in fact, to the mode now adopted in bringing steam-boats to a stand-still, on nearing a pier or other place of embar kation. Had this plan been in use at the time of the accident, your readers would, in my humble opinion, never have had cause to deplore the fatal consequences. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant,, THOMAS SLOAN.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. LAW INTELLIGENCE. HOUSE OF LORDS, June 17. COMMITTEE FOR PRIVILEUES. PORTSMOUTH, MONDAY.—This morning the Undine steam-yacht, Master-Commander Allen, was laid on the graving slip alongside the dockyard, in order to afford the Commander-in-Chief, and other distinguished officers, an opportunity of inspecting her bottom and examining the state of the composition with which it had been put on to prevent the adhesion of rubbish. One side of the vessel is coated with red lead, and the other with this composition, which has now been exposed to the action of the water since the 12th ult. On inspect ing the bottom of the vessel this morning, we found the red lead covered with weeds, grass, barnacles, muscles, and such like adhesive matters, the red lead acting as nourishment to the growth of such obstacles to the vessel's speed; whereas the composition side was clean and free from all rubbish, except such as would immediately come off on being slightly touched or acted upon by the water when the vessel is in motion. The result, therefore, was deemed eminently satisfactory, as far as all trials of this new composition for the bottoms of iron vessels have hitherto extended. The Undine was taken outside the harbour when the tide floated her, and came in with her composition quite clean. We are happy to state that the young seaman Patten, who fell from the topmast crosstrees of the Howe, 120, at Spithead, on Saturday, while manning yards for Prince Albert, is alive and well, havinc , sustained but trifling injuries by his tumble of upwards ' of 200 feet. Retired Commander Henry Cradock, many pars assistant to the Master-Attendant of this dockyard, died on Friday, the 18th inst., aged eighty-two. He was an officer of the Queen Charlotte in Howe's action of the Ist of June, 1794; was Master of the Glory (Admiral Stirling's flag-ship) in Sir Robert Calder's action, 1805, and was actively employed for a period of upwards of thirty-seven years. He was considered a most valuable war officer, and was universally respected. The Diligence naval transport arrived here last even ing, from Woolwich. To-morrow the.Deputy-Adjutani- G eneral of the Royal Marines makes his annual inspection of this division. A grand field day at Fort Cumberland will be included in the day's events: WOOLWICH, JUNE 21.—The Garland steam-vessel, Captain Smithett, is placed under orders to proceed to Ostend to convey his Majesty the King of the Belgians to Englandi It is expected his Majesty will embark on Wednesday, and land at Woolwich in the course of •the afternoon of that day. It is gratifying to learn that the health of King Leopold of Belgium is greatly improved within the last week, and that he is now able to travel without any apprehension of danger from the fatigue he may have to endure. Their Llrdships sat to-day in a Committee for Pri vileges. The peers present were, the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Brougham, Lord Lynd hurst. the Marquis of Fleadfort, the Earl of Scarborough, the Earl of Falmouth, the Earl of Caledon, the Earl of Wicklow, the Earl of Runfurly, and Lords Beaumont and Bolton.

MARQUIS OF TWEEDALE V. MURRAY AND OTHERS. JUDGMENT. The LORD CHANCELLOR gave the judgment of their Lordships to-day in this appeal, which came before their Lordships yesterday. The case came before the House upon appeal from the decision of the Court of Session. The question in the case arose upon the construction of a lease of the farm of Corsbie, in the county of Berwick, belonging to the appellant, and of which the father of the first named respondent had been during his life the tenant. The question was, whether the respondents (the son of the late tenant, and the personal representatives) were entitled, under the terms of the lease, to regain possession of the farm from the death of the tenant, which happened in March, 1845, until the Whit Sunday after hi: death, and, in consequence, to plough, sow, and cultivate it, and to reap the crop of that year. The Lord Ordinary decided against the respondents, Rho took the case to the Inner House, where his Lordship's decree was reversed. The appellants then brought this appeal against that reversal. The Noble and Learned Lord, after going shortly through the facts of the c ase . recommended their Lordships to reverse the decision of the Court below. Judgment reversed accordingly.

In the course of the Learned Counsel'S address he said that the opposing creditors had had great difficulty in making out a case in conseqnence of the expense of bringing up witnesses from Norwich and elsewhere, but when they had done so at their own expense, and made out a prima facie case, his Honour had ordered the assignees to take up the case; and although ultimately his Honour appeared to be of opinion that the bankrupt could hardly be con sidered liable for the attempted concealment, as he was not proved to have been present, yet his Honour thought it a case in which the costs of the opposition should be allowed. He (the Learned Cou,nsel) would take the liberty of mentioning to the Court a suggestion of the members of the Chamber of Commerce at Norwich on this point. The Chamber of Commerce was com posed of bankers, merchants, and gentlemen of the legal profession in that city, and they had come to the con elusion that the object of the Act was frequently frus trated by throwing the expense on indiGidual creditors, where they had to take witnesses a distance to London, and they had urged on the authorities that it 'would facilitate the proceedings, and lessen the expense, if in certain cases, such as inquiring into concealment of propeily, the Commissioners of this court should have it in their discretion to appoint the judge of the county court, or some other compe tent person, to act as their deputy, and take the examination of witnesses, except in large estates, and when the subject was intricate. The. Chamber had, he was intbingd; made it Caniiiitinickitioti to" the Lord' han: cellor on the subject, and had entertained hopes 'that in the new Act some clause giving such discretion 'to the commissioner would have been inserted. His HoNoun said, that as the matter had been men tioned he would remark that seven years .ago he had taken a great deal of trouble at Norwich to impress this on the minds of gentlemen there, but as the evil was only then coming_they had not then thought it necessary to take any steps, and they were now feeling the conse quences of their neglect. Many of those gentlemen were wholesale dealers and large warehousemen, rind if they did not continue to look into the matter they would still continue to have a very indifferent legislation. The subject was then dropped, and the case was proceeded with. • person who must not be allowed to remain in this country. Sentence—Seven years' transportation. (Before the COMMON-SERGEANT.) EMBEZZLEMENT.—Thomas Freeman, aged 39, de scribed as a wig -maker, was charged with embezzling a sum of 481. 18s., the property of the overseers of the parish of St. Andrew's, Holborn. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner was one of the poor-rate collectors, and in that capacity ob tained the money in question, for which he neglected to account. Mr. Robinson conducted the prosecution, and Mr. Huddlestone the defence. There was nothing of interest in the case, but during the examination of one of the witnesses a question was raised as to the correctness of the indictment, it being contended by the counsel for the defence that the money in question was not the property of the overseers, but of the guardians, whose servant the prisoner was. In this opinion the Common-Sergeant concurred, and con sulted Mr. Commissioner Bullock, who took the same view of the law on the question. The case, however. was permitted to proceed, and the prisoner was found Guilty, but sentence was not passed, the point contended for by his counsel being reserved for the decision of the judges. This being the last case on the calendar terminated the business of the court. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A young woman, whose name appeared upon the jus tice-room list as Ann Mills, was brought before Alder man Gibbs upon the charge of bigamy. Thomas Blake said, that having been given to under stand that, whilst he was necessarily absent from home, the prisoner, who was his wife, had married a policeman, he investigated the matter, found it to be a correct report, and caused her to be apprehended. The clerk of the parochial church of St. Edmund the King and Martyr, in Lombard-street, produced the marriage register, in which an entry appeared that John Cooke, bachelor and policeman, of 8, King-court, was married to Ann Mills, spinster, on the sth of March, 1846, of the same place. Ann Mills stated on the occa sion that her father, Henry Mills, was a labourer. Thomas Birch, policeman 563, stated that he was present at the marriage on the sth of Marcb, 1846, between the policeman and the prisoner, Ann Mills. John Perkins, a weaver, stated that he was present at the marriage of Thomas Blake with the prisoner on the 29th of September, 1834, at Stepney Old Church, in Stepney-green. The prisoner had been frequently at witness's house since that time, and her husband, Thomas Blake, was present in the justice-room, and had just identified her. The prisoner said, she did not wish to say anything upon the subject of the charge. Alderman GIBBS asked Blake, the first husband of the prisoner, whether the policeman Cooke knew that she was a married woman when he married her? Blake — I cannot positively say that he did. When I saw her on Saturday she at first told me he did, and afterwards she told me that he did not. Alderman GlBBS—Where did Cooke live? Blake— He lodged in my house before I got into the difficulty that caused my absence. Alderman GIBBS—What was that difficulty? Blake —I was taken into custody about same wine which be longed to Mr. Day, and I was tried at the Central Cri minal Court, and while I was in confinement Cooke mar ried my wife. Alderman GIBBS—By whom were you taken into cus tody? Blake—By Cooke. Alderman Gums—ls Cooke here? The policeman was called, but did not answer. Inspector Todhunter said, the moment it was known to the police authorities that an imputation of such a kind was cast upon one of the force, the person accused was of course required to make an explanation. As, however, the man took no trouble to clear his character, he was informed that he was no longer one of the body, and he left the force on Saturday. Blake said that Cooke was in possession of his goods, which remained in the house after his committal to Newgate; and hoped that the the magistrate would order that they should be delivered up to him. Alderman GIBBS said he could not give any order of the kind, as the sheriffs were entitled to the property of a convicted felon. The prisonserivai LAMBE7'H. Mr. Wood, a pawnbroker, carrying on business in St. John-street, Clerkenwell, appeared before Mr. Elliott, in compliance to a summons taken out by a young lady named Louisa Nutman, in which he was charged with detaining a gold watch that had been illegally pawned at his shop. The bearing of the case occupied the magistrate for some time, but the short facts were these. On the 20th of April last, the watch belonging to the complainant was left at the shop of a watchmaker, named Thomas Kemp, then residing at 58. Oakley-street, Lambeth, to be repaired. Soon after Kemp absconded, taking with him, or previously disposing of, upwards of twenty watches, which had been left with him for repair, and on the 10th of May Mr. Nutman, the brother of the com plainant, received a letter from Mrs. Kemp, in which was enclosed the duplicate of his sister's watch, which was pledged at the shop of Mr. Wood, for 51. He subse quently called at the shop of Mr. Wood, and upon pay ing ls. 3d. interest, and 4d. for a fresh ticket, he was shown the watch, which he identified as his sister's, and the shopman made a fresh ticket in his own name. An application was subsequently made at this court. and a warrant was granted against Kemp, but he has managed to elude the vigilance of Sergeant Goff, an active officer, who holds it. Mr. Humphreys attended on the part of the defend ant, and raised several legal and other points against the proceeding. He also read, from the Pawnbrokers' Ga zette, the particulars of an application made only the week before last to Mr. Hardwick, at Marlborough-street, for a summons against a pawnbroker for detaining two watches under precisely similar circumstances as in the present case, and that magistrate refused to grant it, as the person pawning had not been proceeded against. Mr. ELLIOTT, however, was of opinion that the pro ceedings in the present case were in strict conformity with the law ; that the case had been clearly established, and ordered the defendant to deliver up the watch to Miss Nutman. THAMES. Thomas Jones, a tall, powerful, young fellow, was charged with the following assault on a man sixty• four years of age, named James Trusty:— From the poor man's statement, corroborated by his son and daughter, it appeared that ou Monday afternoon the prisoner followed the prosecutor's daughter, whom be had never seen before, to her residence, No. 6, Buckle street, Whitechapel. Of course her father remonstrated with him on such a proceeding, and at last her brother told him if he did not leave the house he would be given into custody. After some persuasion he left, and the old man and his son also quitted the house shortly after together, and as they were passing down Alie-street, Whitechapel, the prisoner rushed out of a public-house, knocked the old man into the gutter, and then beat his head about. _ _ _ _ _ In his defence the prisoner declared that the girl had been drinking with him all the afternoon. Her father abused him shamefully. He certainly struck him, but it was in his own defence. Mr. BALLANTINE said, that for such an atrocious outrage he should inflict the highest punishment the law allowed him. His sentence was that the prisoner pay a fine of 51. to the Queen, or go to gaol for two months. He was locked up in default. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS. LIVERPOOL, JUNE 21.

JOSEPH ADY DEFEATED AT LAST.—A summons was heard on the 18th inst., before Mr. Sergeant Man ning, the Judge of the New Court at Whitechapel, in which the notorious Joseph Ady was the defendant, on the plaint of Mr. G. R. Dodd, a solicitor, of New Broad street, City. It appeared from the statement of Mr Rhodes, the clerk to the plaintiff, that the latter, some time back, received from Ady one of his circulars, pro mising, as usual, some valuable information on the re ceipt of a fee of 11., which was afterwards paid to him on his giving a receipt in writing, coupled with an ur dertaking to return the money in case the promised in , formation proved erroneous or useless. In return for his fee Joseph sent the plaintiff a number of papers, con sisting chiefly of lists of unclaimed dividends, and re ports of cases in Is hich he had figured as defendant be fore the magistrates, and, as he asserted, proved his innocence of 'the fraud imputed to him, together with some absurd cautions against joining certain public companies, all of which were utterly useless to the plaintiff, who, in consequence, demanded the return of his money, according to the condition upon which he had paid it. This being refused by Ady, the summons was taken out against him, and the Judge, after hearing Ady's solicitor, who made the best of his bad case, de cided that the money should be repaid to the plaintiff, with all his expenses, within a week from the hearing of the summons. STAMFORD, JUNE 21.—FROM A CORRESPONDENT. —John Rolt, Esq., Q.C., arrived in Stamford on Wed nesday evening last, and addressed the electors from $ window of the George and Angel Hotel, and the next day proceeded: on his canvass, which has this day been completed, and with better success than could have been anticipated by his most sanguine friends. Many of the former supporters of the nominees of the Marquis of Exeter having, on account of the late railway business, come forward to support Mr. Rolt, who is of such moderate opinions that neither Whig or Tory can object to him. The addresses of the Marquis of Granby and the Right Hon. J. C. Herries were published on Saturday, but it is said to be a very difficult job to find an active com mittee, and although the Marquis of Granby will have tough work to answer his insulted and injured constitu ents, he may still be elected, but Mr. Herries will have no chance whatever. LAMENTABLE AND FATAL OCCURRENCE AT MILL DANK.—On Saturday a youth named Tripp, whose parents are said to reside in Chelsea, met an untimely death by semi-decapitation, at Messrs. Cubitt's, where he was employed in the steam-sawing department. It appears he was at the time in a position with the works he had no right to occupy, when, unexpectedly, a part of the machinery that vibrates perpendicularly fell in its de scent, guillotine like, upon the neck of the unfortunate youth, by which the vertebra was cut completely asun der, and death all but simultaneously ensued. POISONING AT CARLISLE.—In the late poisoning case at Carlisle, the Coroner's jury have returned a ver dict of " Wilful Murder, by administering poison, against John Thompson, who was committed for trial at the next assizes.

On the following morning wit ness was brought to this court, and was discharged in consequence of the non-attendance of the prisoner. Witness met the prisoner in Castle-street last night and gave him into custody. Mr. Emanuel, artificial florist, residing in Hounsditcb, proved a similar charge against the prisoner. The prisoner, with the greatest effrontry, denied the charge, and said the statement of the first witness was false from beginning to end. He hoped the magistrate would look over it and let him go. Mr. BINGHAM said that he (prisoner) was likely to be kept in pretty safe custody for some time. He should remand him till Wednesday next.

There was a good business transact ed in West India both for the scale and pan, in consequ ence of merchants accepting prices is under those of Friday. The total purchases amounted to 900 hhds and trcs. in cluding at public sale 167 hhds Barbadoes.

The June adjourned sessions commenced yesterday at the Court House, Clerkenwell-green, before the As sistant• Judge and a full bench of magistrates. The calendar was unusually heavy, owing to the length of time intervening since the last session—no less than 150 persons being for trial; of these 23 were charged with misdemeanours, and the remainder with felony. Of these 45 were described in the calendar as unable either to read or write, 104 as reading and writing im perfectly, and one only out of the 150 was able to read and write well. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE, in charging the grand jury, referred to the number of prisoners for trial at the pre sent session, but said he was glad to find that they did not exceed the average as far as the time elapsing be tween each session went. After alluding to the measure now before the Legislature upon the subject of criminal jurisprudence, he said he was happy to find that, although he could not approve cordially of many of its provisions, yet that it still was a step in the right direction. During the course of his address he dealt a smart lecture to those tradesmen who were in the habit of exposing goods outside their shop doors, and thus throwing an uncalled-for temptation in the way of young boys, arid concluded by saying that he for one would most gladly promote a low which would compel all such persons to bear the whole expenses of the prosecution. An application was made by a sergeant of the B divi sion of police to have the evidence of a witness in a very important case taken as speedily as possible before the 1 grand jury, under the following circumstances :—The witness was a female, who was daily and hourly expect ing her confinement, and there was no place fbr her to wait in except the common hall, where there was no seat t) sit down upon, where sbe was jostled about amongst 300 or 400 persons, and which, for persons even in ro bust health, especially in winter, or the warm months of summer, was almost unbearable. The Learned ASSISTANT JUDGE said it was a most scandalous case that no accomodation could be afforded to a witness under such circumstances. The arrange ments for persons in waiting on the Court, as prosecu tors and witnesses, was an actual disgrace to the country, and he was glad the Chairman of the County Magis trates (Mr. Pownall) was present. Mr. Pownall said if it rested with the Chairman of the Court, the proper and much required accommodation should be afforded as speedily as bricks and mortar could be run up, but he was, unfortunately, wholly i isa n ! P u l p pocket e t t h e b book e fr g o e m r fe t r h d e ppeiresrr wasof se nt powerless in- the matter. .

THIRD COURT.—(Before Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK and Alderman Moow, &e.) LIBEL.--THE QUEEN ON THE PROSECUTION OF GEORGE TRUWHITT V. DENT. Mr. BALLANTINE, counsel for the prosecution in this case, moved to entreat the recognizances of the defen dant, who had not surrendered to take his trial upon an indictment wnich charged him with publishing and pro pagating certain libellous matter reflecting upon the cha racter of the prosecutor, Mr. George Truwhitt, a highly respectable solicitor. The Learned Coulisel fur ther moved for a fresh warrant for the apprehension of the defendant. The Court granted both applications. Selina Allen was indicted for stealing a quantity of wearing apparel, a set of knives and forks, and a watch, the property of George Robert Macnally and George Macnally, to the latter of whom she was described as servant. It was clearly shown in evidence that the prisoner and another woman, not in custody, had at various times, commencing in M arc h, 1846, p a wned the articles in question. The prosecutor swore that it was without his knowledge or sanction. In her defence, the prisoner handed to the Court a written document, in which she admitted that she had pawned the articles, but disclaimed any felonious intent. She said she had done it to relieve another's distress. She !slim stated that she had lived with the prosecutor for eight years as his wife. Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK called the prosecutor back, and on being questioned he admitted that such was the case. The Learned CostmtssioNEß left it to the jury to say whether, under such circumstances, tkere was an implied authority in the prisoner to pledge the articles. It had been carried on a long time, and it was strange that the prosecutor had not before missed the articles ; if he had been aware of it, and had never complained, the prisontr ought to be acquitted. The jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. John Williams , aged 17, a drover, was indicted for and convicted of burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of James Johns, and stealing there from some bed furniture, value 10s. In addition to tw o forrn.er convictions for felony , the prisoner had been m an y t i mes su mmarily convicted for larceny; he had b een many times in Newgate, and he was well known to th e p o li ce as a n associate of the most notorious thieves at th e east en d. Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK sentenced him to be transported for seven years. Mary Gordon, aged 39, was convicted of stealing 29 shillings from the person of James Barber. In 1841 the prisoner was convicted of larceny. and also in 1845. Since then she had been tried for s tealing a gold watch and app en d ages fr o m the person, and had been several times in custody on charges of felony. A sister of the pri soner was is Court, and she stated that the prisoner was the widow of a sergeant in the 7th Fusiliers, and had two sons in the band of the 14th Re giment of infantry. Since the death of her husband she had taken to drinking, and from that to wor=e. She had neglected many good opportunities fur abandoning her immoral life, and might have done well if she would. Mr. Commissioner Bui.Locx said the prisoner was a MARYLEBONE. George Williams, who had only on the same morning been liberated from Tothill-fields prison, in which he had been incarcerated for six months, pursuant to his sentence, for a robbery of an extensive nature at the Paddington terminus of the Great Western Railway was brought up by Mr. Collard, superintendent of the com pany's police, and placed at the bar before Mr. Rawlin son, charged with having committed another robbery at the same station, previous to the felony for which he was tried and punished. Mr. Justins, from the firm of Maples, Stevens, and Co., Old Jewry, attended for the prosecution. The Learned Gentleman detailed the facts of the case, and called the following witnesses in support of the al• legation. _ _ Stephen Christian, a sailor, deposed, that on the 11th of November last he came up to London from Bristol, and that on arriving at his destination he missed his box, containing wearing apparel, books, money and papers. He had since seen the box in the possession of Mr. Collard. John Creed, a coffee shop keeper, living at 29, Dud ley-street, Paddington, said that about six weeks before Christmas the prisoner lodged at his house for two nights; he brought with him upon the first occasion a box, and alleged that he had lost the key thereof, at the same time requesting that witness would accommodate him with something which would force it open. He lent him a screwdriver, and the prisoner, after thanking him for his kindness, went up stairs. He went out twice with bundles, and afterwards in his room was found the box, which had been rifled of all it had contained, with the exception of a few papers bearing the name of prose , cutor, who had made an application at the station with regard to his loss. The box was here produced and identified by the owner. Witness added, that after the prisoner had left, some articles were missed from an apartment in his house. Mr. Collard stated that, in consequence of his know ledge of the fact that the prisoner would be liberated on that (yesterday) morning, he repaired to 'Tothill•fields prison, and took the accused into custody immediately after his release ; on telling him that he was charged with stealing a sailor's box from the Great Western Railway station, he said nothing but cried. It will be remembered (the particulars having ap peared in the papers) that in the former case of robbery the prisoner was brought to justice through the instru mentality of an omnibus conductor, who, for his fore sight and vigilance, had, as stated by Mr. Justins to the magistrate, been rewarded by the company with 51. Mr. Justins also said, that with a view to the further ance of the ends of justice the company had paid the prosecutor liberally for some weeks past; so that instead of going to sea, he might remain in town to give evi dence upon the discharge of the prisoner from the place in which he was confined. The prisoner, who seemed very downcast and said nothing, was a second time committed for trial. Two men, named Tread and Huish, were finally exa mined on the charge of having stolen articles of plate,the property of Mr. Butterfield, a gentleman residing in Is lington, and with whom the first named prisoner had formerly lived as servant. Evidence in support of the charge was given ; and the prisoners, who had undergone two previous examina• tions, were committed for trial. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. GROSS ATTEMPT AT EXTORTION.—Edward Fox, a stonemason, was brought before Mr. Bingham charged with endeavouring to extort money from Thomas Hill, by charging him with attempting to commit a nameless offence. The prosecutor stated that he was a waiter, and resided at No. 9, Orford-place, Marlborough-road, Chelsea. On the 16th instant he went into Hyde Park to see the review, which he found was put off till the following day in consequence of the wet. He left the park and proceeded towards Hyde Park-corner. Oa arriving oppo site St. George's Hospital he entered one of the screens for a certain purpose. He had not been there many minutes when the prisoner and a third person came in. After witness had adju,ted his dress he left the place and proceeded towards Knightsbridge. He had not walked many ya r d s w h en t h e pr i soner cam e up to him, and entered into conversation with him about the unfavourable state of the weather. By this time prose cutor had arrived opposite the White Horse public-house, where he had a pint of porter ; and as the prisoner had stated that he was out of work, witness invited him to partake of it. They afterwards left the house, and had another pint of porter at the Clock•house, Knights bridge. Witness, after leaving the latter house, walked towards Piccadilly. On arriving opposite the Green Park, th e d e fe n d an t sa id he was not going any further. Witness replied, that as he understood that he (prisoner) was residing at Pimlico, the nearest way would be across LLOYD'S SHIPPING. LONDON, JUNI S.W., light bieeze, and fine.
