'O THE INDEPENDENT ELECTORS OF THE BORON OF SOUTHWARK. • It GENTLEMEN, IT is now fifteen year s since I firaSad the honour of being returned to Parliament as one of the representatives of your ancient and important Borough, upon principles which, at the time, were regar d e d b y man y as v isionary and impracticable ; but 'which have since, with few exceptions, been adopted by the Government of the country, and have received the sanction of the Legislature. In 1841 Parliament was dissolved upon a vote of no confidence in a Liberal Administration, in order to avoid the change contemplated by It in the eorn-laws and other important points. Ihe immediate result of the election which followed was a very large majority in favonr of the Protectionist party ; a majority, however, which gra dually decreased until in the year 1815 and 1846, Sir Robert Peel, aided by the representatives of Liberal constituencies, was enabled 0 carry out the very measures, the advocacy of which had previously overthrown the Government of 1511. Since that period, Sir Robert Peel having declined to carry on the administration, a Liberal Go vernment has once snore been restored to power. The paramount duty of the electors at the approaching e'ections will be to return as their representatives the tried pi', meters of sound principles of general reform, in order that the advantages which have been already gained by the popular party may be improved and carried out to their legitimate extent for the advantage of the country. Among these I may remind you of your vote by ballot, more ftequellt Parliaments, a thorough reform in church government, and tbn repeal of those taxes which press too heavily on the people aztd impede the commerce of this great empire. These will all the recessively attained ; but it will be only by perseverance in return lag those men to Parliament who have hitherto successfully sup ported measures of similar tendency, that these great and important objects can be secured. In offering myself for the fifth time as a Candidate for your suf o4Pes, I venture to solicit your renewed confidence and support on e same principles which have been, and which always will be, the anide of my conduct as a public man, and which I believe are cal culated to secure the best interests of the nation. Your local interests wiil continue to have my earnest and energetic support, as I cannot but feel the warmest interest in everything that concerns the welfare and advantage of the borough of Southwark. I have the honour to be, Gentlemen, Your obedient humble Servant, JOHN HUMPHERY. S s suthwark, July 7, 1847.

(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BuRCHELL•) • BROMLEY V. THE EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY been •so four or fire years. There were 19 carriages. This witness spoke to the lights being all correct on the carriages. The light on the Post-office shows white to the back alone, to give light to the guard to adjust the bags. When we got to the bridge the driver blew his whistle. It was about 30 or 40 yards off' the bridge. lie shut off the steam too. It was rather soo ner than COMPANY. The plaintiff in this case sought compensation in da mages for certain injuries sustained whilst a passenger on the Eastern Counties Railway. Judgment had been suffered to go by default, and a writ of inquiry was now executed for the assessment of damages. Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Bramwell were for the plaintiff; and the Attorney-General (with whom was Mr. E. James) appeared for the company. The pleadings were opened by Mr. BRAMI7.I.L. The plaintiff in the first cou n t c l a i me d c ompensation forin juries sustained, and in the second count for the loss and deprivation of the care an d ass i s t a nce of his wife . his domestic affairs and business, she having been injured at the same time. The plaintiff laid the damages at 5,000/. Mr. Sergeant SIIEE stated the case. The plaintiff, Mr. N. Bromley, had for years carried on the business of maltster, brewer, and corn merchant, tat Colchester, near to which town he held a farm of upwards of 250 acres. On the 18th of J u ly last the plaintiff and his wife took their seats i n th e Eastern Counties Railway to come to London from Colchester. It would seem that when near the Rumford station .a train, composed of trucks, was found to b e a h ea d o f the train, which train was turned into a sidi ng an d t h e passenger train, in which the plaintiff and hi s w if e wer e, passed, on whi ch the driver of the truck t ra i n f o ll ow ed. The passenger train was due at the Sh ore dit c h s t a tion at a quarter to four o'clock, and the driver of the truck train regulated his speed to give the o th er tra i n t i m e to arrive ; but, from some cause or oth er , th e passe nger train was do layed near the Stratford- s t a ti on , a nd no signals being given to warn the truck t ra i n o f danger, it ran into the passenger train, and sm as h e d t o atoms several of the carriages, causing the loss Qf one life and considerable destruction of property. ..The plaintiff's legs were frightfully crushed, in addition, to which he received a severe contusion on the right eye. The plaintiff, when extricated from the broken carriages, was taken to the Stratford station, where his wife was lying in an insen sible condition. It happened that Mr. Havens, a surgeon at Colchester, was one of the passengers, and being the least injured, he rendered his assistance to the sufferers. Other medical aid was procured by th e o ffi cers of the . company. The plaintiff and his wife were subsequently removed to Colchester. He should prove that the plaintiff was confined to his bed for a period of 24 weeks with this fractured leg, and other injuries ; his leg was still in a bad state. and it was probable that he would be a cripple for life. He (Mr. Sergeant Shee) was of opinion, which opinion, lie believed, was entertained by the public, that the frequency of ac c id ents on t hi s line arose from the parsimony of the company, who wished to put money into the pockets of the share holders ; they had bad engines, driven by boys instead of men. usual. I saw a white light. I felt a jerk ns we passed the points, but I did not know we were in the siding. I only knew something was wrong. The whistle was sounded again. I screwed the breaks down. I did not see any one at the points, for I was thrown from the break by the jerk for an instant. I recovered myself di rectly, and in a few seconds the collision took place, and I was knocked down. Cross-examined—There are two breaks. There might be more, of course, and then the train might have been stopped sooner. There was a continuous whistle. There arc two points, but I do not know that there are three on the side. Mr. F. Smith—l am inspector of police from Rhode to Wolverton, 15 miles. Fosse) , joined December 13, 1846. He had been placed on probation for a fortnight, under another constable, at the Blue-bridge. He had been left to himself since January. A white buffer light denotes a passenger train. It is then his duty to signal green to the station, when that is answered by a green hand-light. He is aware then that the station is clear, and ho shows a white light to the train. If any thing is in the way, they answer him with red, and he ought to show red to the train, and it wou ld s top. A white light coming can be seen thre e - quar t ers o f a mile from that station. If a luggage-train arrives he shows no light to the station, but a green one to the train, after which he shows the green hand-light to the train, and goes down to the points. If a passenger train, he has no business to leave the signal—he Ns ould show his white hand-light to the train. When the ac cident happened I was at home. I went to the station and ran up the cutting to the bridge to stop the York mail. I found it had stopped. 1 looked for Fossey, who had been sent back to stop any train which might be coming. I found him at the rear of the train, and said, "Good God, Fossey! what could have made you tarn the train into the siding?" He made no answer at first, and I thought he was drunk. I turned my light on his face, and found he was sober. lie then said, " I don't know; my watch deceived me; she's 12 minutes before the mail." I took his watch, and on examination it turned out to be four minutes slow. I took him into custody. He said, " Very well, sir. Are there any lives lost?" I said, " I don't know." He answered, "If there are not, you may transport me at once. Send me out of the country; that's just what I want." I asked him if he had shown the red light to the guard, as he passed? He said "No; that the lights had deceived him." Ile thought it had been the goods train. Cross-examined—l have seen the Post-oflice light; it may be seen for 200 yards. I have been 18 months on this railway. Joseph Hudson—l am a policeman at Wolverton. My duty is to ring a bell when a train is signalled by a green light. I answer the signal first by waving my white light, to show that the way is clear. If it is not I show a red light. I saw a green light shown by Fossey that night, and rang the bell at once, without waiting for the signal to me from the other man. He was then engaged in moving an engine, and could not convey the signal to me, so I took the signal from Fossey direct, and rang my bell to prepare the station. Cross-examined—The prisoner had charge of two signals. and ought to have kept up his green light till it was answered. If they don't answer, he ought to show a green light to the train. Re-examined—Duncan is the man at the signal station near the station. He is not here to-day. He was engaged in moving an engine at another point under his care.

BRUSSELS, JULY 7.—The corn market was but scan tily supplied this morning. There were only about 300 sacks, which were sold with slight variations from last market prices. There is reason to be astonished at such a result, as there is everywhere a general tendency to decline. The diminution in the price of potatoes gives general satisfaction. The lowest price to-day was 9f. 50c. per 100 kilogrammes, in retail they s• 11 at from 9 to 10 centimes per kilo gramme. It is difficult to form an idea of the magni ficent aspect of the harvest, which holds out the most promising results. In the environs of Brussels they have already commenced cutting the rye and barley ; corn, in general, of all kinds pro mises to be infinitely superior to preceding years ; the stubble, likewise, has never been stronger or finer. There have been abundant crops of hay, and the vegetables have been more than usually abundant throughout Brabant, while the general appearance of the potato fields has dispelled every fear. MUNICH, JULY 3.—The more favourable state of the weather during the past week has prevented the antici pated rise in our market this day, and again contra dicted, as has often been the case, the supposition that the markets of Erding and Landshat were to regulate the prices of ours. There were 3,311 bushels of wheat and 2,362 of rye in the market. The demand was very considerable, not in the way of trade, but of consumption, for throughout the country, with the exception of Lower Bavaria, there is a great want of flour corn,cspecially of rye. The considerable and continued delivery, at reduced prices, on the part of the Government and the civil intitutions of Wurtemberg, has put a stop to the buying up in this department, and hence we have reason to hope that this will be the last market before the approaching harvest—that is to say, if this fine weather continues — at which such high prices will be paid. ANTWERP, JULY s.—The state of the market was more favourable to-day ; but very little business was transacted, in consequence of the want of means of trans port.—Brussels Papers, July 9. Mr. Havens, surgeon at Colchester ; Mr. Liston, the eminent surgeon ; Mr. Dalrymple, surgeon ; Mr. Par. tridge, surgeon, and other medical gentlemen, were ex amined on the injuries sustained by the plaintiff. Other evidence was given, showing that the injuries received had prevented the plaintiff from attending to his business, from which cause it had considerably diminished. The medical and other expenses had amounted to 2501. In the course of the examination it came out that about four years ago the plai n tiff was made a bankrupt, and had paid no dividend. His brother, who was one of the witnesses in the present action, was the petitioning creditor to the fiat. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was heard in mitigation of damages. He said the company deplored the occurrence which had given rise to the present action, and by not pleading they had admitted their liability to make com pensation fur the injuries sustained. With that admis sion, however, they did not feel inclined to let any person, although a sufferer, dip his hands into their pockets and take what he pleased as compensation. He (the At torney-General) was instructed to ask the jury to award a liberal sum, but the jury would be guided in their award by the facts which had appeared in evidence. There could be no doubt that the most had been made of the accident which had happened to the plaintiff. He had to inform the jury that immediately after the accident the company had sent down Mr. Bransb y Cooper to attend the suffer ers, and to offer liberal terms of compensation ; and from his report on the present case, they had thought it their duty to contest his claims to compensation. The company had afforded compensation to the other sufferers; and this was the only case in which a jury had been called upon to deter mine the amount. Mr. Sergeant SLIEE said his Learned Friend was mistaken; he had been in a case before against the company for ono of the passengers on the same oc casion. _ . COTTON MANUFACTURES IN MEXICO.—The Giornal lode Llobd Austriaco states, that the cotton trade of Mexico is increasing in importance every day. There exist at present, in the province of Mexico, twelve spin ning factories, with 30,156 spindles in full operation ; in that of Pueblo twenty-one, with 35,672 spindles in ope ration, and 12,240 in course of construction ; in that of Vera Cruz seven, with 17,860 in operation, and 5,200 in course of construction ; in that of Guadulajara five, with 11,312 in operation, and 6,500 in course of construction ; in that of Queretaro two, with 7,620 ; in that of Du rango four, with 6,520 ; in that of Guaninato one, with 1,200 ; and in that of Sonora one, with 1,000 ; in all, 33 spinning factories, with 135,280 spindles, of which 23,940 are in course of construction. The daily con sumption of cotton (continues our Italian contemporary), is at present 39,7551 b., and it will increase to 48.6221 b., when all the projected spindles are constructed ; the daily production of yarn now amounts to 35,780, of the value of 39,358 reels. The number of spinning estab lishments in operation amounts to 8,753, employing al together 17,000 persons. The annual consumption amounts to 14,586,6661 b., and as the indigenous pro duction only amounts to 50,000 quintals, it follows that there is a deficiency of about 95,666 quintals. In order partly to cover this deficiency the importation of 60,000 quintals has been allowed at a duty of six reels per quintal. The carriage from Vera Cruz to Mexico—a distance of about 94 leagues, which is traversed by muleteers (carrieros) in 18 to 20 days—is from 18 to 22 reels per load of four animals and upwards. The im portation of cotton yarn and cotton tissues of not more than 30 threads woof in a square of a quarter of an inch, is prohibited. Smuggling is carried on exten sively, especially on the shores of the Pacific Ocean. THE JOB AND POST MASTERS, &C., PROVIDENT FUND.—On Saturday evening, at half-past seven o'clock, e e m rs b a e n r , s s, y t ( h ie is_ i t o h a e tit g u e t n io e a ral waa annual meeting held atmesosrfs.therramtt ch to ard chairmanparlc- c orn e p r il oelere.dlietd re Ttte a a do r v s e a r ll itnhethereephoaritr. of The directors, which congratulated the members on the increasing success of the institution, and showed that from its commencement, July 1839, to the present time (eight y ears), no less a sum than 6,7401., was invested in Consols. Also that many persons in the trade who had hitherto withheld their su pport were now as anxious to b ecome members of the institution. The treasurer' s account was also read, which being quite satisfactory, Mr. Dickinson moved, " That the report now read be adopted, and printed for circulation Mr. Wyke seconded the resolution, which was put, and carried unanimously. Mr. Deacon and Mr. Mallalue, two of the retiring direc tors, were then re-elected, and Mr. J. Shenton and Mr. Dewsbury were elected directors in the stead of the other two who retired, and after the other business of the meeting was concluded, the usual vote of thanks was given to the chairman, and also to the directors and auditors for their respective active and effi cient services. Mr. Deacon then rose and said he thought the meeting ought not to separate without mentioning the services rendered by Mr. Clarke, the secretary. He should therefore move, " That the best thanks of the meeting be given to the secretary, and that the like gratuity which was given to him last year be offered to him this, for his great exertions in the be half of the institution." This resolution was seconded by Mr. Tattersall, and carried unanimously. The chair man then said the business of the meeting was now concluded. He hoped that every member would strive to add to the numbers of the institution, as they must be convinced of its favourable results. AMERICAN PROVISIONS.—The American line of packet-ship Switzerland, arrived in the London Docks from New York, has brought 11, 310 bushels of wheat, 4,342 bushels of oats, 68 barrels of pork, 16 packages of hams and tongues, 76 hogsheads and 101 boxes of bacon, 804 packages of lard, 1,211 barrels of flour, 150 barrels and 540 boxes of bread and biscuits, several packages of beef and other articles, the produce of the United States of America. This is another instance illustrative of the fact, that the American line of packet passenger ships trading to and from New York, bring large quantities of grain as part of their cargoes at the present time, in preference to the usual description of Ameri can merchandise, which had hitherto formed the greater proportion of the w hole. A peculiar description of meat, which is brought from the United States in large quantities, especially at the port of Liverpool, has lately been the subject of notice, in consequence of its detention by the officers of the revenue for duty. The article alluded to is pork legs, being the leg of the animal, dry salted, in some instances, and in others imported in pickle, in wet salt or brine, which were considered by the officers of the revenue to be liable to the duty as hams, instead of, as required by the importers, legs of pork, salted, and freo of duty, and the matter having been taken into especial consideration, it has been decided by the autho rities. With reference to the common definition of the word ham, signifying not exactly or simply the ham or leg of the animal, but the joint in a prepared state, fit for immediate use, and to th e f ac ili t i es a t present afforded for the introduction of all kinds of food, that these legs of pork from America, if simply salted, and thereby coming under the head of legs of pork salted, as set forth in the tariff , and not smoked or dried in the manner of hams, commonly so called, are to be admitted into consumption free of duty. INTREPID CONDUCT OF A FEMALE. —At Troy town, Rochester, on Friday last, a child, ten months old, in the absence of its parents, crept into the garden, and approaching a deep well, slipped in. The girl who had charge, missing it, ran to the well immediately, and seeing the infant at ti e bottom, without hesitating, lowered the bucket, and descended by the rope the depth of 63 feet, when she succeeded in grasping the child. The neighbours: arrived, and the child was pulled up, early . Dr. Adam Martin rendered every aAbi,t• ante to the infant, which is much bruised about the body, and the girl, in descending by the rope, suffered serious injury in her hands. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL observed that they were most anxious in this, as in the other instances, to afford full and fair compensation. His Learned Friend had made a charge in his opening speech against the com pany of employing boys instead of men, and of using de ficient engines. Such, however, was not the fact, and its fallacy was quite apparent. It was the interest of the company to protoot tho public , a nd that' could not expect public support unless they gave confidence to the public in their means of transit. The company were but the representatives of a large body of shareholders, of whose interests they were but the trustees; and it was their duty to see that the plaintiff received nothing beyond what in strict justice he was entitled to. lie was in structed to say, that the company wished tha t full and liberal damages should be given in this case. j would then calculate the losses proved to have been sus tained, and in addition they w ou ld afford a r eas o nable compensation for personal suff e ring—less was n ot wished, Theury and more their sense of justice would prevent them from awarding. The Learned UNDER•SLIERIFF, in his direction to the jury, told them that by law the defendants were clearly liable to make the plaintiff a full and fair compensation for the injuries he had received, but they would take care to guard their feelings from any improper hiss. They would consider the degree of neg ligence of the parties, and give a fair comp e nsation for the injuries, both pecuniary and personal, which the plaintiff bad un doubtedly sustained. The jury retired, and in about ten minutes assessed the damages at 6501. • BROMLEY AND WIFE v TUE SA 3IF- This was an action b roug ht by the plaintiff for damages sustained by his wife, on the same occasion. The ATTORNEY GENERAL said,' the jury would not . be The parties troubled with any evid ence i n this case. in int had agreed to take a verdi c t f or 150/. g n cases the compensation afforded to the plaiff and his wife, 800/. The proceedings occupied nearly six hours . i two The tho ) The jury gave a verdict for 1501, mak James E. M`Connell—l am superintendent of the lo comotive department. The points are worked by a handle attached to a weight, which keeps the points open. When the handle is pressed the weight is raised, and the points close on the main rails and direct the train. This machinery may get out of order by accident, but it is most improbable that such was the case here. By the JUDGE—On the Great Western the sidings aro entered on a different principle. The train must stop and then go back. It is a balance of evils, and ours is considered by many to be the safer of tho two principles. Mr. Parker—l examined the carriages after tho acci dent. The fourth carriage had mounted the third and lifted the top off. The fore wheels were off and the hind wheels on the rails. Tho fourth carriage had carried all the passengers to the end of the fifth carriage. There were ten altogether, and seven were dead. The bodies were lambed in under the axle. Thomas Ogden—I saw Fos: ey give the signal. Ile seemed to do it coolly and properly. Cross-examined—l afterwards saw him with his red light on the line, to warn the next lines. The last train was composed of empty cattle trucks. They stopped in the siding. Fossey turned them in, and I turned them off at the middle point after they had watered. Re• examined—l did not expect a goods train then, and it was not my duty to hold a middle point there, but on the opposite side, where I gave a signal to the driver. Alfredth Di York " t — ra l in pass mnl 4 B t i h w e u p u o u iirs7ei; saw after the acci dent. They were all right then. William Clifton identified the body of John Lambert ' Clifton at the station on the 7 th of June. Mr. Gent—l am a surgeon at Stoney Stratford , and was also a passenger by this train in the first second class carriage. I heard the whistle, and felt the jerk on passing the points. Next came the collision, which threw me forward on my face. After the collision I got out, and saw the dead bodies. Among them was that of John Lambert Clifton. I saw Mr. Clifton recognise one of the bodies as that of his son. The death was caused by suffocation by congestion of the lungs. The breast bone was fractured and the ribs, which caused his death, and those injuries arose from the collision. This being the case for the prosecution. Mr. PRENDERGAST addressed the jury on behalf of the prisoner. He said, the question for them was, whether this lamentable accident had originated in the careless ness of the prisoner. Now, the superintendent had given him a character for good conduct; ho was sober and at his post at the time, so that he was clearly not neglecting his duty, which had been fully explained by the witnesses for the prosecution. When the signal was made by him he did his duty; and his account of the matter was, that that signal was not announced properly. No doubt he was perplexed at the absence of an answer, and having very little time to go back to the up signal before the train came past, he might easily have mistaken it for a goods train, which might be known by the purple lights at the tail. Now it was proved that this train carried an extra light for the Post-office carriage, which was painted crimson. It had once occurred that a goods train came in with a white light; so that being possible again, in human arrangements it might well be conceived that the prisoner should come to the conclusion that he had mistaken the character of the train, and that it was his duty to open the siding. This he accordingly (lid, and as he must have held the points open while the train passed, he must have become aware of his mistake. Ilad he taken fright at that! moment and released the handle, it is impossible to conceive what consequences would have followed. lie, however, held on, and showed won derful presence of mind in so doing, and it would be for the jury to say whether on the whole the prisoner had done more than make a mistake, to which all men are liable—and as ho had been shown to have conducted him self carefully and considerately before the accident, he (Mr. Prendergast) felt sure that the jury would take that circumstance into their consideration. and acquit him of any carelessness in the discharge of his duty on this unfortunate occasion. ASSIZE INTELLIGENC E. NORFOLK CI IlCUlT.—Buchingham , J" l g ----- 12. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. I3aron ALDERSON.) THE WOLVERTON ACCIDEN T. Bernard Fossey was indicted for that he, being a policeman on the London and North-Westen RailwaY, entrusted with the charge of certain points at Wolverton, so negligently and carelessly conducted himself in the charge of that duty, on the s th of June last, rails as to on turn a train of passenger carriages from the main to a llision oc siding devoted to goo d s trains , whereby a co t arred between the said train and certain coal waggons on the said siding , and s uc h injuries were inflicted on one John Lambert C lifton, then being a passenger in the said train, that he d ied thereof. clui in- Six sitio o n t h i; e c r h similar a a r n g d edthe pri prisoner r tm wi e t n h t death of six other persons. shaanyding caused the cor oners' Mr. O'Malley and Mr. Power appeared for the pro secution, and, in support of the same, c alled several wit nesses, who gave substantially the following testimony in corroboration of the statement of counsel: — William Mammers—l drove the night mail train on the sth of June.

Ravenshaw and Edward C. Ravenshaw, brothers, residing at Suffield-house, Richmond, and de scribed on the charge sheet as gentlemen, were brought before Sir J. Baker, Bart., Sir Thomas Reeve, Knight, and Mr. E. Penryn, to answer the following serious charges : Daniel Hunt, a police-constable, of the V division, stated that a quarter before ono o'clock that morning he was on duty on Richmond-hill, when he saw two gen tlemen coming; one of them whom he had since ascer tained to be the defendant Thomas Ravensham, climbed up a lamp post, broke the glass with his fist, and extin guished the light. He followed them to the next lamp post, when the other defendant, Edward Ravenshaw, got up that, and extinguished its light also. Tie then took them both into custody. He eccured the defendant Thomas, but his brother got away. On the way to the station witness met with Sergeant Edwards, who as sisted him in conveying the defendant Thomas to the station. He was very violent all the way. His brother Edward met them in Church-lane, and witness took him again into custody. He went very quietly. Defendant Thomas struck witness after he had got into the station, and drew from his pocket a large Spanish clasp knife, which he brandished about, and swore that he would run into any policeman that came near him. Witness and the other policeman had great difficulty in disarm ing the defendant of this murderous weapon, the blade of which was more than six inches in length, and when opened fixed with a spring. - F,,lwards stated that hparinir a mini., on Richmond-hill he went up and found the defendant Thomas struggling with the last witness. Recognizing the defendant, he begged him to go quietly, but he said he would not for all the police in Richmond. At the bottom of the hill lie became exceedingly violent, and they fell down together. He then said, "If lie could get at his knife ho would rip his out, there was not such a set of in the world as the police of Richmond." Defendant went on pretty quietly till he got to Long-lane, a narrow passage with two high walls, when he tried to knock his head against the wall, say ing, " I'll knock your brains out against the wall." They struggled and fell several times, thence through Church passage and George-street, to the station. The defendant resisted violently, and witness was so ex hausted by being repeatedly thrown that he could hardly drag the defendant into the station. The defendant was not drunk, but he had been drinking. He saw the de fendant brandish the knife in the station-house, and assisted in taking it from him. Police-constable Fullbrook, 235 V, proved that the defendant Thomas Ravenshaw, when in the station house doliberately jumped up from his seat, and struck him a tremendous blow on the eye. George Smith, an inspector of lamps, proved that four lamps were broken that night. Mr. PENRYN, the chairman, said there were no less than three offences against the defendants—viz., break ing the street lamps, extinguishing the lights, and as saulting the police. With respect to the last charge, that affected the defendant, Thomas Ravenshaw, only, and he must say, that he had never had to adjudicate upon a more ruffianly and violent outrage.

SURRENDER OF LIEUTENANT MUNRO. Yesterday, at about eleven o'clock, while Mr. Long, the sitting magistrate at Marlborough Police-court, was engaged in the disposal of some charges of trifling im portance, a person of military appearance entered the court, accompanied by another gentleman. lle stated that ther hhe was un f or Lieutenant tun ate duel Munro, inwhich i and that e u h te e n h a a n d t comeC surrender himself, in order that he m i g ht t a k e hi s tr i a l Fawcett fell. ol o t e o nl It will be fresh in the recollection of the public, that the duel which resulted so fatally took place four years ago in a field adjacent to the Brecknock Arms, Camden town, when Lieutenant-Colonel Fawcett, owing to a wound which ho received, lingered for a short time and then died. An inquest was held by Mr. Wakley upon the body, and after two or three adjournments, the jury returned a verdict of " wilful murder" against Lieut. Munro, as the principal, and against three other gen tlemen as accessories ; the latter ultimately gave themselves up, and after being tried at the Central Criminal Court were acquitted. Lieutenant Munro absconded, and a warrant for his apprehension was at one period in the hands of Hooker, a warrant (Auer of this court. endeavour to ascertain, if possible, in w h o course of an Mr. Chambers, an inspector present b , :e s i a sn i e d warrant remained. lie retired, and in t d dl i v ss n io r n r o r m e d t u h c e e dli lips to out against hour returned, having been unable to o Fawcett in a duel, and 1 neces sary information. ix w et a i s hi f s ought andhcagoaLualinettcsaurokvti ntelwnyt forward:At r t ivanl .Munro 0 1 ' l r a the having duel afi voluntarily from Dresden to surrender Mr. Phillips, the clerk , throughout the proceedings, of Lieutenant 51unro, who,brief writing D ir.

If without reasonable, proper, and ordinary care the pri soner had committed such a breach of his plain duty, as had been proved, he was liable to this charge. If by care lessness he mistook the mail train for a goods train, and by carelessness diverted it into the siding where it ought not to go, the jury ought to find him guilty; but if they had any reasonable doubt whether lie turned the train into the siding, or mistook the train with any reasonable and fair excuse for so doing, then he was entitled to an acquittal. The jury having deliberated for a short time returned this verdict:—" We find the prisoner Guilty, but we blame the company for not keeping two men at the posts." The Learned JUDGE then proceeded to pass sentence on the prisoner, who, ho said, had been most properly convicted by the jury of carelessness in the discharge of his duty. He ought to have waited for an answer to his signal, and to have exercised more caution and care in distinguishing between a goods train and one carrying passengers. It might be that he had too much to attend to ; but still he ought, therefore, to exercise the more caution and care before taking so decided a step ns to turn a train which he had signaled as a mail train into the siding. If he had too much to do, it was his duty to himself', and the public too, to decline the Eituation ; but if a man accepted such a place, he ought to be doubly careful, diligent, and attentive. The absence of those qualities had hero been marked by the most pain ful loss of life. Seven people had been killed from this simple neglect of duty ; and though tho prisoner had borne an excellent character, he (Mr. Baron Alderson) thought it incumbent on him to visit the verdict on this occasion with a heavy sentence, in order that people in his situation might be informed that neglect of duty which led to loss of life would be must severely punished. This was necessary for the protection of the public, and the sentence upon the prisoner, therefore, was, that I he should be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two years. With this case terminated the Buck Assizes. The court was most excessively hot and crowded during the trial of this case, which was watched throughout by many officials connected with this railway. CAUTION TO SMOKERS. —On Wednesday last, a serious accident arising from the very reprehensible practice of smoking in sheds and barns, occurred near Rugby. It appears that three young gentlemen, while walking through a field belonging to Mr. R. Clarke, farmer and maltster, adjoining the Bilton-road, went into a shed to enjoy a cigar, when a spark set fire to some loose straw, which rapidly communicated with the shed, and the whole was soon in flames. Upon the alarm being given, Inspector Stanley, with his usual prompti tude, disp a t c h e d one of h i s men to Mr. Jo h n Bromwiciri by , superint en d ent o f the fire establishment, who tl i.le tisml aho t time l 3 was at the s cene o f con fl agra ti o n, and assistance th us ren d ere d , a cow-house, to get herbut the with some hay, st raw , an d s t u bbl e r i c ks, were saved, shed was b urnt d own , an d a w aggon, a new plough, a implements, were v irrow, and other agrieul!ural irnop de stroyed.

REFORM DINNER IN PARIS. Mr. C. K. Murray had an interview with the Chan cellor of the Exchequer yesterday at his official residence in Downing-stroet. dinner was given to Mr. Cade.. 9 , at Leghorn, on the 12th of May ; but no report of th 0 speech delivered by him has yet appeared in any jean tel. We have bee* favoured with a copy of a pamphlet, Published at Leg horn, which contain repo r t s o f t h e speeches made on the. occasion of the banquet in question, in the Casini dell' Ardenza ; and from it we take Mr. Coh,len's address , which was delivered in French, although be left a f ew ° notes of what he had said written in English. " Gentlemen—l sincerely regret that I cannot convoy to you in my own language the expression of my thanks for this hospitable reception. I wish I could utter all the gratitude I feel towards the president, in the first place, for the too favourable terms in which he h.se proposed the toast of my health, and tis yowl all for the cordial manner in which it has been re ceived. If I were better acquainted with French, it would be appropriate to address you in a language which seems destined to become the medium of communication throughout the civilised world, for I am speaking to na tives of almost every nation in Europe. This meeting seems to realise, on a small scale, my ideas of the re sult of free trade—for here are individuals from almost all countries, assembled round one table partaking in friendship of the bounties of nature ; and all I desire is to see the same amicable feeling pervade the whole family of mankind. I never feel more pleasure, or find my.. self more at home, than when in the middle of a com— pany of merchants, adorned like the present, by men of science. I was bred a man of business myself. If, in my public career, I have possessed some small aptitude for those questions of a practical kind which are now the order of the day in Eugland—if, in my speeches I have relied more on facts than declamation, more on figures of arithmetic than begunon f i gure s of speech—l attri bute it to my havin g life in a counting house. If our league ag ainst anyt corn-laws was car ried on with perseverance and with system, if implicit confidence and go o d f a i t h were preserved between the subscribers of the vast f un d whichw-aes p n ded in our agitation, I attribute it very much ex pe nded e the fact that the prominent members of the league were all men of business, who carried the order and industry of merchants and manufacturers into the management of a public contest;—for the league was, I believe, the first political movement in English history which was not led by aristocratic chiefs. But I feel especial gratifica tion in meeting the merchants of Leghorn, because your city affords the best possible illustration of the advantages of the principle which I advocate. Two centuries and a half ago, the ground on which Leghorn ~ is built was, I believe, pronounced an uninhabitable swamp. The sovereign of this country resolved to apply a charm which should render this spot healthful and populous ;—lie gave it liberty —not only of commerce. but of conscience. Lie bestowed free trado and a perfect religious tolerance upon Leghorn, and this, too, at a time when the fires of the Inquisition were still burnit.g in some neighbouring countries. The result is before us in the splendid city whose commerce extends to every part of the globe. But the present time affords striking arguments in favour of our principloa everywhere. In the middle of the scarcity which afflicts so many nations, what is the universal remedy resorted to by Governments ? Free trade. If, in the crisis of a malady, our medicine is found to be the only remedy, why not resort to a dose before the disease has reached its height ? See, with what marvellous force the principle of liberty operates for the salvation of nations threatened with famine'. No sooner is the trade in corn declared free, than ships are seen exploring every port, however remote, to bring food to the starving Irish, and other nations of Europe. I have heard of a thou sand ships, of every flag, passing into the Black Sea in four days. What power on earth but that of liberated commerce could undertake the task of finding food for millions of people ? Governments have ac knowledged their powerlessness—charity shrunk aghast from the task. But free trade has accomplished that which statesmen and philanthropists despaired to accom plish. The energies which commerce puts forth for the benefit of humanity are not sufficitntly appro., ciated by society. It is the fashion to regard it only as the pursuit of private gain. We aro told that the merchant who is occupied solely in buying in the cheapest market and selling in the dearest, is consulting an ex clusive and selfish interest. What is the meaning of buying cheap and selling dear ? The merchant goes to a place where an article is cheap, because it is abundant, and he carries it to another where it is dear, because it is scarce; he is thus engaged in distributing equally to all men the bounties of the Creator. True, it may be profitable to him to do so. But what dots this prove, but that Providence has wisely made it con sistent with our interest to carry out the purposes of nature, and that we consult our own welfare by con sulting the interests of humanity? Gentlemen, I can not take my departure from the soil of Tuscany without expressing the gratification I have experienced in what I have seen, and in the men I have known, since I bare been in this country, so famous for its contributions to the arts, sciences, and literature. I may add, how much I have been delighted and surprised to find so groat a sympathy, not only in Tuscany, but throughout Italy, for the reforms which we have accomplished in Eng land. I have heard the eloquent allusions made by tho president to the present awakening of public opinion in this peninsula, It is not within my province to allude more particularly to your domestic concerns. I have made it a rule to abstain from all such allusions everywhere : I have a strong conviction that foreigners cannot with advantage mix themselves up with the concerns of other countries. I should wish to see every nation left to manage its own affairs. There has been a great deal too much of foreign inter ference in many countries. I do not allude to any Government in particular, nor do 1 exeunt my own, for I think that England has interfered abroad more than has been advantageous to herself or other nations. There is an excellent proverb, which says, ' A fool knows more of what is passing in his own house, than the wise man does of that which passes in the house of Isis neighbour.' In my opinion, the only duty which an independent community owes to the rest of the world is to set a good example. But whilst I say this, I may be allowed to add that I shall always feel the strongest sympathy in all that concerns the prosperity of Italy ; and what I have seen corn inces me that the country which has twice given the iinj ross of its civilis ation to the world, contains within itself the means of its own renovation. Let me, in conclusion, ask to be al. lowed to propose a toast to the health of the worthy descendant of Peter Leopold, the present Grand Duke Leopold 11. The National says, " 1,200 electors of Paris assembled yesterday (Friday) afternoon, at the CBteau Rouge, to make a remarkable demonstration in favour of electoral reform. The spectacle was magnificent. The most perfect order did not prevent the expression of the warmest sentiments. We confine ourselves, at present, to a description of the general impression. It was most excellent. " The assembly was constituted after the model of the central committee of electors, which organized and directed it with as much zeal as intelligence. The great majority of the Opposition deputies figured there beside the representatives of the Paris press and of that of the departments. The Marseillaise hymn was executed by a full band, and was loudly applauded. We shall after to-morrow give a detailed account of the orators and their speeches. They were all applauded by an assembly animated by a patriotic fire such as will over animate any meeting invoked in recol lection of the principles of the French revolution. M. Lasteyrie, the elder, a veteran of 'B9, and ever consistent in his principles, presided. The vice-presidents were MM. Recurt and Paguerre. The assembly separated towards I I o'clock, after a manifestation that must pro duce a profound sens a ti on th roug h out F rance. " " Eleven hundred and forty tickets for this dinner were issued," says our private letter, " and only sixty of that number remained unpresented. The tickets were strictly personal; no transfer was allowed. The most rigid scrutiny was exercised to prevent the intrusion of any but the person named on each ticket. The police were consequently unrepresented at the banquet. The doors were opened at five, but dinner was not served till eight o'clock. A band of sixty musicians were in attendance, which when the company sat down to table struck up le Illarseillaise to the derangement of many whose enthusiasm suppressed their appetite. " Out of doors the first notes of the hymn put an end to the decorous silence of the :3,000 men who sun ounded the château. I say with surprise their silence, for al though they amounted to that number, and although th e request of the stewards to have, as usual a de p co u r b u li m e enterta i nmen ts, a few Municipal Guards present toupre serve order was not complied w ith , the utmosts a was observed by tha t imme nse crowd. a 3n/da m s e men within was, however , irresistible.

OLDRIDGE'S BALM of COLUMBIA completely remove the difficulty ex perienced by Ladles in preserving their ringlets after exercise ; its use so invigorates the hair, that tresses, previously the straightest and most destitute of curl, rapidly acquire a vigour, which maintains in permanent ringlets the head-dress of the most persevering votary of the ball-room, the ride, or the promenade. After the minerals and vegetables of the old world have been compounded In all ima ginable ways in fruitless attempts to discover so important a deside ratum, we are indebted to the Western Hemisphere for furnishing the basis of OLDRIDGE'S BALM OF COLUMBIA, the efficacy of which in preserving, strengthening, and renewing the hair has become a matter of notoriety among all civilised nations. Its restorative virtues are indeed a proverb, and the most satisfac tory attestations to its infallibility in reproducing hair upon persons otherwise hopelessly bald, may be examined at the Office of the Pro prietors, No. 1, Wellington-street, Strand, London, where the Balm is sold; and by all respectable Perfumers and Medicine Venders.
