The report of the engineer, Mr. G. R. Baldwin, who surveyed the rout, stated that the whole cost of the road is esti mated at 5,215,000 &Tars. The grades present no for midable obstacles. The road, whenever built, must do an immense business. It would form a channel of cora municatien which would not fail to expedite travel and business to and from the southern portions of lowa and Wisconsin, Northern Illinois, Southern Michigan, and the whole northern regions of Indiana and Ohio. The immense quantities of bread stuffs seeking a market in the Atlantic regions, and the tide of travel between the east and west, would furnish an amount of business whose value can hardly be exaggerated. Soon after the Erie road shall have been completed to Dunkirk there will be a continuous line of railroad from New York, Boston, and " down East," to Chicago. EXPLOSION IN A TELEGRAPH OFFICE. This iS a treat, or rather a terror, to come with us; the only thing that at all approximates to it was that during the storm last week on the North British, where the lightning played a variety of pranks, such as pulling the wires and ringing the alarums along the line. At Albany, on the 15th of January, a severe storm passed directly over the city. It was of short duration, but the quan tity of rain which fell was very great. At about half past two o'clock a most violent explosion of electricity took place in the telegraph-office, disabling the relay magnets of both lines. The wires attached to the relays and to the battery was melted off, and the entire line to New York rendered for a time perfectly useless. The Western line, as far as Rochester, was got into operation during the evening; but nothing could be ob tained from New York. It was the most serious disaster the line has sustained from atmospheric electricity since it has been opened. A t Troy, too, the wires were melted from the battery and the relay magnates. In a short time it is expected that the wires of the telegraph will reach Halifax, thereby bringing England nearer to us by at least two days. So that the Phila delphians safely calculate upon obtaining foreign news within ten days of the time of the steamer's leaving England. TRICKS UPON TELEGRAPPIERS.—A Buffalo produce dealer, who on Thursday list purchased 10,000 bushels of wheat from the agent of a house in New York, con ditionally that no intelligence of the state of the Euro pean markets had been received per the Cambria, has paid for the same, and instituted a suit against the party who sold, on the ground of alleged fraud in the transaction. This suit will be very likely to bring out the facts in relation to the telegraph. A great many amusing incidents have occurred in the market during the past three months, and as no one has seriously suffered, the trade have been disposed to enjoy a laugh over the results. A joke is told of a dealer, who never admits it possible for a neighbour to be in advance of him. Some time ago, when a packet with later news was announced at the telegraph office, two of his friends conspired against him. One was to invite him to a turn upon the Troy-road, while the other was to remain for the development of the news. If the intelligence was favourable, the parties were to meet on the road and exchange signals, when the victim was to be drawn into a sale. If unfavourable, it was to be indicated, and a purchase was to be induced. The news proved favourable, the signal was given, and a bargain closed (chile the pet nag was making his mile inside of three minutes) for a thousand barrels of " Ge - nesee," at the ruling prices of the morning. When the victim reached his office, he found the telegraphic report of an advance—smelt the rat—took an unusually large quid of tobacco—and swore perpetual vengeance against last nags, and drivers on the Troy-road during business hours. He has nut been hit since. EXTENSION OF TEIE TELEGRAPIL—Upwards of sixty miles of the posts are now erected between New York and Mobile. The whole distance by the route of this line will be about 150 miles. The posts will be com pleted from Petersburgh to Augusta by 15th July, except a small section of about forty miles beyond Cheraw. The line will be in full operation as far south as Charleston, and from hence to Mobile by the Ist of October. The line, so far as practicable, is brought along the railroads, all the companies of which hare acted in the most liberal manner, giving not only the right of way, but also engaging to superintend the con dition of the posts and aires. DIVIDENDS.—The Tonnewanda railroad company has declared a dividend of five psr cent. upon its capital, pay able on the 1s: of July. The New York and New Haven road have given notice that interest at the rate of six per cent. per annum will be paid to the stockholders on the Ist of July next.

A fine teak vessel of 600 tons, named Sir George Pollock, was launched on Saturday, the 20th of March last, from the building-yard of Mr. Mould, at Moulmein, in the East Indies. She is an improved model of the Sir Robert Sale, constructed by the same enterprising builder. She attracted a great concourse of people in that infant colony, one of the finest teak-wood countries in the world ; and the place is of great interest to the Government and shipping interest. A powerful cylinder hermetically closed, of Sir Wm.

Witness ourself at Westminster, the 17th day of June in the tenth year of our reign. By Writ of _Privy Seal. In this case the Learned Commissioner Phillips adopted a new rule in respect to debts under 201. Hi therto the Court has decided that in complaints of fraud where the debts were under 20/., it was useless to remand the parties, as the creditors could not detain their debtors in prison. In this case, however, the Court held other wise and pronounced a judgment. It appeared that the insolvent had contracted a debt of ten guineas with a Mr. Hollis, tailor, of Guildford, for clothes, on a promise to pay ready money, but ho failed to keep his word, and hence the present complaint. Mr. Commissioner PHILLIPS declared that in this case he should not discharge the insolvent, although the debt was under 204 He was aware that the opposing cre ditor could not detain his debtor, but the detaining cre ditor could withhold the discharge, and he should remand the insolvent. — The insolvent was remanded. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. NORTHERN CIRCUIT. —York, July 21. CROWN COURT.—(Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN.) There being two other indictments in the Mirfield murder case, Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN asked Mr. Bliss what course he intended to pursue ? Mr. BLISS replied, that in a case of such importance he wished for time to consider, and it might be proper to consult some high authority —say, the Secretary of State. His LORDSHIP assented to this view. James Bradley, aged 23, and George Bradley, aged 26, brothers, were indicted for the wilful murder of John Riley, at Sheffield, on the 12th of January last. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS (Mr. Pickering and Mr. Pearce with him) stated the case to the jury for the prosecution. He said John Riley was a tobacconist, carrying on business at Sheffield, and living at a place called Broom Lees , about a rode from Sheffi'eld, on the Grimthorpe road. He was about forty years of age. Ile !eft his shop in Sheffield about half-past nine o'clock, and with a friend, went to the Cattle•market Inn. He left there to go home about twelve o'clock, and when he got t o a place called Bailey's-gate he was attacked and robbed, and so injured, that, although he was able to get home by about two o'clock, on the 16th of January he died. Eliza Tune, landlady of the inn, examined—Mr. Riley and several others were there on the 11th January. He left there 3 little after 12 o'clock, quite able to know what he was doing. He had three sixpenny glasses of brandy and water. He walked perfectly well, and was quite capable of walking home. Mary Riley, widow of the deceased, examined—Sh e went to the shop at Sheffield. His watch was then in its place. Her husband came home at twenty minutes to two o'clock the following morning. She alone was sitting up for him. He rang the bell, and she let him in. His lace and hands were covered with blood. He had no hat on, or stick which he ususually carried. He walked into the kitchen and sat down on a chair. He had a large bruise on his forehead. His right hand pocket was turned out, and one brace broken. At nine o'clock the following morning she sent for a surgeon. Her husband died on the following Saturday. His health was generally good. In the left-hand pocket there were 155. The watch produced was his. Ile generally wore it in his waistcoat pocket, without swivel or guard. Ile had it not when he got home that morning, George Bowling, edgetool-maker, examined—On the Thursday following the murder, James came to the Coach and Horses, where witness lodged. Witness was asleep and James woke him, and asked him if he could sell him a watch? He produced it—it bad no glass or swivel to it. The one now produced was Lice it. Wit ness asked him what he had done with them? He re plied he had broken the glass, and broken or thrown the swivel away. Witness said he would go and see if he could sell it to a person called Sayles. They then went to where Sayles worked. Sayles gave him 17's., and witness gave him the watch. He then went and called the prisoner James out, and gave him 15s. and kept 2s. Sayles went away b u t returned in half an hour. James said they were not to say anything about the watch, it had come from Master Riley, the tobacconist, in Wain gate. He had robbed him of his watch and 30s. He had heard that he had missed 31. and the shop-door key. Ile said he was alone ; he had stood at the top of a lane by ' the tea-garden cottages, waiting for Riley, and had knocked him down the first blow. Witness promised he would not tell. On Sunday night, the 24th of January, witness saw James again at the Coach and Horses. They sat together, and James said he had beard Master Riley was dead, adding, "it is a bad job for me." He then said it w as no t he who struck the blow, but he would not tell who it was—he would stick staunch if he got hanged for it. He again told witness to say nothing about it, and he promised ho would not. He said the police had been to Green's on Saturday. Witness toll him that Sayles had said he had taken the watch back and put it by Mr. Riley's garden. wall. He said that was a good job. Cross -examined—He first told this on the 3d of April. There had then been 1001. reward offered. The reason he did not tell before was, he had had such threats. The reason he told than was, he could not keep it on his mind any longer. Ile bad himself been brought before the justi ces t h ree t i mes f o r felony. He had been con victed on ce f or one f e l on y only. He had been taken up for highway robbery, but he got off. He was dis charged. Re - examined—The conviction was for stealing a pair of trousers. The third case was this transaction, for selling th e wa t c h. George Sayles, cutler, corroborated the last witness. AQUATICS. THAMES REGATTA.

He was not authorised to receive the money ; and if he had been the period for accounting had not come round, which was the monthly meeting night, and he was not chargeable with not accounting. Mr. Alderman HUGHES remarked that if he had suc ceeded in getting off to America, he could not have re turned in time to account. The intention not to account was plain enough. Mr. Humphrey's clerk suggested there must be proof of not accounting at the proper time. He might have left the money for the society with a friend.—(A laugh.) The ALDERMAN said he felt that there was no ground for this bold assertion, that the prisoner had committed no offence. It was proved to him that the society wa' enrolled undei the Benefit Societies Act, and by that Act any officer having in his or her possession any sum of money belonging to such society, and fraudulently withholdir4the same, may be ordered to pay double the sum so fraudulently withheld, or be committed to hard labour for 'three months. Mr. Lewis submitted there was clearly no offence in the matter. His client had duly entered in the society 's books every farthing, and that was accounting, though he did not hand over the money. He cited a case where the judges held that a party was not indictable for embezzlement in such a state of circumstances. Mr. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES had no doubt that any servant who accounted in writing, but kept the money, was indictable in some form. Somebody was injured in the present case, either the member who had to pay his subscription over again, or the society, who were defrauded of the money. Mr. Humphrey's clerk—The prisoner's conduct might be morally wrong, and yet not legally criminal. Mr, Alderman HUGHES HUGHES said he considered these societies had a beneficial operation. The working classes ought to be encouraged in purchasing houses when opportunities offered, paying for them, by means of these societies, by instalments spread over a number of years, and they should have all the protection he could give them. But he believed the law bad been ren dered doubtful by the conflicting opinions of counsel, delivered on cases prepared by the building societies on another point, but which incidentally affected such mat ters as the present. He inquired the amount of the prisoner's deficiencies. Mr. Digby said he believed they would reach 1001. Mr. Alderman HUGHES HUGHES, after some desul tory conversation, remanded the prisoner for a week, to see whether the money would be forthcoming at the proper time, and whether any other evidence could b adduced. The prisoner was then remanded. By the 4th section of the Building Societies Act, " all the provisions " of the: two Benefit Societies Acts, " so far as the same, or any part thereof, may be applicable to the purpose of any Building Society, and to the framing, certifying, enrolling, and altering the rules thereof, shall extend and apply to such benefit building society and the rules thereof.' By the Benefit Societies Acts, such societies have the option of placing the money in the funds, or in a savings' bank, or with the Sinking Fund Commissioners, or of loaning it out on the security of real property. By an other clause, no instrument or document whatever, autho rised to be taken or made by the society, is to be subject to stamp duty. The building societies expected the 4th section of their Act gave them the benefit of this exemption on their mortgages. The Government, however, required the duty. The opinion of Mr. Tyrell, of Lincoln's Inn, was taken by the societies, and he thought that all that was obtained by the 4th clause was so much as applied to framing and certifying the rules, for he said it was un necessary to mention the rules, particularly if all the provisions of the benefit societies were extended to the building societies. The opinion of seven counsel were taken, three were for the exemption from mortgage duty and four against it. If, however, the building societies have no other advantages from enrolment under the Be nefit Societies Acts than Mr. Tyrell allows, they lose the advantage of punishing their officers for fraud. The property of the society is that of a partnership, and does not rest in the treasurer, nor can they sue or be sued by their trustee or treasurer. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. John Foster, a journeyman tailor, was placed before Mr. Hardwick, charged with assaulting a lady of the name of Fitzherbert, under the following circumstances: The complainant was returning from the Haymarket Theatre about twelve on Thursday night, and was pro ceeding up the Quadrant, when the defendant, who was the worse for liquor, went up to her, and accosted her in an improper manner. She endeavoured to get out of his way, when he detained her by laying hold of her shoulder with one hand, and with the other assaulted her in a very indelicate manner. She called for assistance, and struggled to get out of his grasp. He was proceeding to further violence, when fortunately a gentleman came to her assistance and detained the prisoner till a con stable arrived, into whose custody he was at once con signed. The defendant, who pretended to know nothing of the matter, was fined 51., or one month's imprisonment in the House of Correction. East Londoa..• • • • • • • • Dividend Amount per of ' Paid. Annum.

The arrivals of English Wheat tor our market since Monday, coastwise as well as by land carriage and sam ple, have been on a very moderate scale, and the show of samples of that grain here was small. On the whole, the trade was firm, but no improvement was noticed in the quotations. Nearly 30,000 quarters of Foreign Wheat have come to hand this week, in, for the most part, middling condition. The best parcels moved off steadily at full prices, but all other kinds were quite neglected. Although the supply of barley was small the trade was in a very sluggish state, at unaltered currencies.

West took his benefit at this theatre, and, as a public favourite, he well deserved the support ren dered him on the occasion. The house was crowded to overflow, which, perhaps, in some measure, arose from the circumstance of the celebrated Jenny Lind honour ing the performances with her presence, and, by permission, occupied her Majesty's box. The bill of fare was carried out to its fullest extent, and gave great satisfaction to all present. On Mdlle. Jenny Lind's departure, she was loudly cheered, which she very grace fully acknowledged. Great credit is due to Mr. Batty, the spirited lessee, and all parties connected with the establishment, for their politeness to the visitors of the theatre.

John Widdicombe, of Astley's Theatre, who described himself at the station-house ns stopping at the Tavistock Hotel, Covent-garden, was charged before Mr. Norton with creating a considerable disturbance at the house of Mrs. Smith , 22, Lambeth-road, and wilfully breaking quantity of glass. Evidence pro and con. having been received, Widdicombe was ordered to find two sureties in 501. each to keep the peace towards Mrs. Smith, her daughters, and all others of her Majesty's subjects. James Hay, the driver and part proprietor of the Dorking coach, appeared to a summons, charging him with the commission of the following outrage:— Mr. Benjamin Willoughby, a billiard-table maker, 387, Oxford-street, deposed that on the 15th instant having occasion to go to Balham-hill, he rode in an om nibus, fur which he paid sixpence, and on his return home he got on a coach driven by the defendant the other side of Clapham-commun. On reaching the Swan, at Stockwell, he got off, and handed the defendant six pence. He peremptorily demanded a shilling, which witness refused; upon which he abused him and lashed him violently with his whip. Witness subsequently called on the defendant at Charing-cross, when he re peated the abuse, and told him he had served him quite right. The defendant admitted that ho had whipped the complainant, because he refused to give him his just fare, or give his name or address, but he was now sorry for it. Mr. NORTON observed that ho thought the outrage so uncalled for, that unless the complainant requested him to the contrary he would impose the full penalty. The complainant did partially interfere, and the de fendant was convicted in the penalty of 31. and costs, and also cautioned as to his future conduct. SLIAKSPERE'S HOUSE. - Much has: been written and said on this subject. The Times has published letters; the Herald has written spirited articles; appeals have been made to various societies; but the only tangible move is at the surrey Zoological Gardens, where the proprietor has constructed an admirable fec-simile of the house, drawn by Alfred Ctowquil, and which, as a nucleus for a fancy fair, patronised by the nobility, and responded t o , as we rink it would 17.)e, by the public, would be the weans of easily raising the necessary funds.

The supply of Beasts ou offer here was moderate as to number, and very deficient in quality. The primest Scots, Devons, &c., sold readily, at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday, but the inferior kinds of Beef were a mere drug, though we cannot call them cheaper. There were in the market 22 Oxen from Spain, 362 Oxen and Cows, 1,510 Sheep and Lambs, and 248 Calves from Holland and Germany. With Sheep we were but moderately supplied, while the Mutton trade was firm, and late rates were steadily supported. The number of Lambs was good, yet the sale for that stock was somewhat active, at very full prices. Notwithstanding the supply of Calves was great, the Veal trade was firm at an aovance in the quotations of from 2d to 4d per Sibs. Pigs moved off slowly, at about stationary prices.
