A meeting of this society was held yesterday at their rooms, 21, Regcnt•street, for the purpose of admitting some rew members, and of hearing a communication from Mr. Boyle, of the state of New York (advocate), upon the law and practice of registering deeds and instruments in the United States of America. The attendance of members was very thin. Lord Brougham presided. The SecnEmaYhaving read the minutes, the following gentlemen, having been ballotted for, were admitted members :—Messrs. Alexander Colvin,EdwardLawrance, A. E. Cockburn, F. N. Walsh, Alexander Pulling, and Peter Cater. Mr. STEWART, Q.C., then read the report upon the subject of registration of deeds in the United States. The document, which was of a voluminous character, described the great facility for registering legal instru ments in the United States, and the economy with which letters of administration and probates of wills were obtained. The practice referred to was that which prevailed in the State of New Ycrk, but the law, with differences of detail, was the same in all the states. In the State of New York there is a reeistrar of deeds, who takes custody of the legal records to which the report referred, but here there is no registrar of deeds, the state is divided into two counties, e.ieh county having au officer, bound in sureties, who, by virtue of his offtee, is the recording officer of that county, and takes chat MI" of all records, N, hieli may be examined at his efface without fee or reward. There is, in addition, another offieer in each county, called the Sarrogate, or Judge of' Probate, who is ens oweted to grant letters testamentary and adininiitrati r on of will. The registration of instruments affecting title to real estate is constituted, by filing the instrument in the office of the surrogate or clerk of the county in the county in which the estate exists, or in the several counties sepa rately in which it may be situated, if there should be several, that being done, the registration is completed for all legal purposes. Parchment is seldom or never used, and on receiving the paper, the clerk of the county minutely examines it, and notes the day and even the hour when it is received, after which he has it carefully transcribed, and placed in the volume of public records. The instruments entitled to be thus recorded are all deeds and instruments conveying real estate, or creating an interest in real estate for more than a year, or other wise charging real estate for more than a year with effect to be valid against subsequent purchasers and mortgagees, and those instruments are only valid from the moment when they are thus formally recorded. In struments affecting less than freehold require one sub scribing witness, but if more than freehold, two sub scribing witnesses, and in every case a subscribing witness must appear before a judge of the Court of Record, or other person properly qualified, such as a commissiorer of records, and prove that the party sign ing and sealing did so in his presence, and with the purpose set forth in the instrument. The greatest care is taken to secure the proper authentication and regis tration of such records, and any neglect or this is fatal to the validity of the document. Judgments and devises can by that record become liens for twenty years, and then, if necessary, the lien can be renewed by scire facias. The facility thus afforded of obtaining access to the volume of records has proved of great advantage to the public, and renders the expense of examining fur records, &c., comparatively trifling. The report, which is very ably drawn, went at length into the details of the law upon this subject, the above being merely an outline of its leading features. The report was received, but without any decision on the part of the meeting either us to the approval or dis approval of the whole or any part of the details. There having been no other business before the society for that evening, the meeting adjourned to the fi rs t Wed nesday in February.

SlR,—The remarks in the Times of Friday upon what you justly term " the most important point of all in naval matter, that of securing an effective supply of trained sailors to man our ships in case of emergency," and your promise of recurring to the subject, induce me to' tres pass on your indulgence. There is so much in your observations exactly in accordance with my own views, as expressed in a little book which you were pleased to notice favourably last July, that I trust whenever you recur to the subject you will afford me space for some practical suggestions of my own. For the present, I would only enforce the necessity of not postponing so vital a question as that of manning the navy until war breaks out. and would urge one or two obvious inexpensive and ineffectual measures for sup plying our first wants. It cannot be too seriously consi dered that the defect of organization which leaves Eng land without those resources for any sudden emergency which other Powers possess is no longer a secret. Not only has it been officially admitted in England upon the best authority that in the critical times of 1840 and 1844 we were completely a deecouvert to any hostile attack, from our inability to collect seamen in time, but foreign countries ere now fully aware of the fact, and caculate upon it. The subjoined extract from a very clever and singularly impartial History of the late War, by an in• intelligent French naval officer, establishes the truth of an assertion which I believe I was the first to bring pro minently f, irward last summer. Captain E. Jurieu de la Grav:ll.e, after detailing the straits to which England was reduced at the breaking out of war in 1793—a war for which we were unusually well prepared, on ac count of the Spanish and Russian armaments of 1790, says :-- " The difficulty which the Admiralty experienced in forming the first crews at this epoch presented itself again in 1840. It will present itself every time England finds herself obliged to face unforeseen embarrassments, and will always give to an active and enterprising enemy the advantage of most favourable chances during the first months of a war." Here we have a judicious and dispassionate French man exact]) confirming my own assertions as to a fact which, though controverted at the time by a large part of the daily press, has since been officially admitted in Parliament. Would it not, then, be lamentable apathy and inexcusable neglect, if, with our eyes open, we con tinued to tempt other nations to insult us, by gratui tously offering them chances of easy success against us? Are we again to enact the old farce, the transparent cheat, of moving " demonstration ships" about our har bours, sticking their masts in, painting their sides, and trying, by ail:- demonstration, to frighten foreign Powers, like naughty children, when they are perfectly aware that it takes us several months to man a single line of battle ship? Are we to pay above 7,000,000/. annually for keeping up a navy, and yet leave it a demonstrable fact that we are behind France and Russia in the power of making any effective demonstration in case of emer gency, and that we have not advanced one step beyond the crude, and now uncei tain expedient, of impress ment for manning our fleets? I am happy to think there is reason to believe that the present Admiralty do not intend to sleep over this danger, or to tolerate so dis creditable a state of things. But, as any great measure involving (as it must) the interest of our maritime popu lation, requires the support of public opinion, I trust the Times will afford its powerful aid in establishing the necessity of some change. We may shut our eyes to the face, but it is undeniable, that the present is a new era in naval affairs, and England might just as ~well trust to her old feudal levies for a regular army, as to impressment for an adequate supply of trained sea men, capable of meeting the disciplined forces of other Powers. The optimists and quietists of the press may argue in favour of doing nothing, but no Government can leave things as they are. The experience of 1840 and 1844 A well-grounded lvsoeradnis c eu a n l p c mo u n l a a yt t i i ib o e n eg s me o na f ed f r ' e o a r l e ap i y g rai n iiile w ai bp r l i le t e e s r t b s oy f o twh r b he i i d esh i t t . at forbids it, th e a d m i ss i on o f 1846 f or bid s i t , an d the too merch fe a w nt t h e e . It is certain that whate ver may b e c i rcu l ate d to t h e pre judice of the navy, it is least unpopular where it is best known. Our first step, then, should be to make it better known to our merchant seamen; and how can this be done but by sending ships of war ( not wretc h e d, ill conditioned tenders, but ships deser v i ng th e name) to our commercial ports, where they are never seen by any chance? I do not mean to raise vol u nt eers , b ut mere ly to show themselves in all the attractive " pride, pomp, and circumstance" belonging to a well-ordered " Q ueen ' : ship." Ido not theorise here, but can ass e rt, f rom m y own experience, that the ship of war, at her first ap pearance, will be regarded with distrust and dread, the n with distrust alone, next with indifference, and finally with a strong desire to join her smart, cleanly, rakish looking, happy crew. This would do much, if steadily and systematically carried out; but more would be necessary in order to dispel the strong prejudices which alienate our maritime population from the Royal Navy. A further measure I would suggest is an enactment requiring that all boys apprenticed to the sea shou ld serve some stated time, be it ever so short, in her Majesty's navy. They would then learn the truth concerning that terrible bugbear they had heard so much of; and, of ten boys who should spend two months in the navy, eight at least would wish to remain in it. They would, while in it, acquire habits of cleanliness, order, and alacrity, which would be use ful to them afterwards ; and they might be sufficiently instructed in the gun exercise, to make them doubly valuable whenever called into the service of their coun try. Ido not say that this would do all that is neces sary, but it woulu undoubtedly place our capabilities of defence on immeasurably higher ground than they now occupy, and might prepare the way for abolishing:, a practice which we may make necessary by our own im providence, but cannot justify on the plea of a necessity which had been foreseen for years and might have been provided against.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant. G. PLUNKETT. Captain Plunkett's letter, as given above, will be read with attention by all who remember his claims to be heard upon the subject in question. We took occasion the other day, in commenting on the French historical essay to which he refers, to remark on the lessons which our neighbours are evidently extracting from past expe rience, and we may surely hope that the warnings so instructive to other Governments will not be lost upon our own. The plans for manning our navy, to which we alluded in our notice of this subject some days ago, eomprise the supply of two different classes of men—first, of trained seamen already lir the Queen's pay, and held in reserve for any ceders that may be issued ; and, secondly, of able or ordinary seamen, untrained to man ot-war's work, such as have hitherto been raised on any emergency by the discreditable practice of impressment. The former of these would furnish us with a corps such as we have never possessed yet, the latter would supply our old personnel by fairer means ; one provision is adapted to the advanced state of naval warfare, the other to the enlightened state of public opinion. If the other navies of Europe remained in the condition in which they were left at the conclusion of the war, it might not be necessary to extend our care beyond measures for the abolition of that practice which justice, humanity, and policy, alike condemn ; it would be sufficient simply to secure such sailors by enlistment as we formerly ob tained by impressment, and we might then trust to a like training for a like result. Such, however, is notoriously not the state of affairs. Though we have happily bad no occasion for proving our relative strength on an ele ment we have been taught to consider our own, yet, making all allowances for exaggeration, it is dear enough, from fact within our actual cognisance, that the improvements iu artillery practice and nava l architecture, backed by the n ovel and scarcely appreciable power of steam, have supplied our opponents with such resources as leave us no longer at liberty to reckon upon a day's breathing time after the declaration of hostilities.

The expediency of prolonging the present term of a seaman's engagement is admitted by almost every writer and :pecker on the subject, and can hardly be doubted by he men themselves. A discharged sailor is as helpless is a banded soldier, and is the worse off as his desti wtion is almost sure to recur. Nor are the old stories 'bout these matters altogether inapplicable to the pre ,er:t day. It is barely eleven years since 15 per cent. of oertain ships' crews were summarily turned adrift, al though their engagements had been understood by them is exten , ling t the whole period of the commission. I is clearly, however, impracticable to increase this reserve traine 1 men to such an amount as would at once send to sea all the ships we might require, although it should undoubtedly be strong enough to constitute, along with those afloat, an effective squadron, and to furnish a nu cleus of good hands on board ships less advanced in dis •,:ipline. Next, then, there arises the question, how the bulk of cur sailors are to be obtained without recourse to impressment when necessity requires. One of the schemes for this purpose which has obtained the attention of two successive Administrations is that of Lieutenant Bowden, of which the following is an outline : Every merchant vessel is to carry, for every 150 tons of her register, one " Queen's man ' and one " Queen's boy," the first to be an able seaman, and the second not under fifteen years of age. The former is to be liable at any time and under any circum stances to serve in the royal navy, and the latter is to step into his full rank at the age of twenty. The term of the Queen's man's engagement is to be five years, renewable at its expiration for a liko term, and then en titling him to a pension ; and both he and the boy, in addition to their regular wages, are to receive a small monthly allowance from Government. It is calculated that from London and Liverpool alone some 13,000 or 14,000 able seamen could thus be procured at a fee days' notice, even if only ofie xter of the vessels had been enabled to eater the piescribtel number of Queen's men. The readiness of the men to accept these terms is presumed from the considerations that their wages would be increased, their time of s ervitude defined, their pension certain, and their chance very good of enjoy in k the advantages of the royal service without ever actually serving. Nor is it conceived that the masters o merchant vessels would be otherwise than consenting parties, inasmuch as they are not required to enter these men over and above their proper compliments, but only as part of them, and since these men, and these only, would be liable to be taken away from their ships by any of her Majesty's vessels, a regulation which would in form them of the precise extent of their liability in the event of any sudden demand. The possible efficiency of merchant seamen for the higher duties to which they may be rendered liable, is a consideration only second in importance to the regulations for securing their services by an equitable contract ; and a former suggestion of our correspondent's deserves attention as well as the hints thrown out in his present letter. It is to the effect tbat.as this class of persons are exempt from the militia ballot, they should be required to attend a drill of their (awn on board an " exercising ship" at certain periods while within certain limits of a port ; and we are en tirely of the gallant author's opinion, and that a few trifling prizes and a little tact in the captain superintendent would soon make this exercise a great deal more popular than skittles or nine pins. If any person should be impressed with an idea that our sailors have degenerated in a long peace, or that improved treatmeut has relaxed their nerves and subdued their hardihood, we commend to his notice the story of the shipwreck of the Osprey, as reported in our paper last week. An accident of a most grievous kind, than which few ever involved less culpability, was reme died to a singular extent by the behaviour of the officers and crew under circumstances far more trying than the hazards of an unequal battle. After the lives of all had been saved by the most energetic promptitude of action, th e ordnance material and provisions were landed through a heavy surf, and guarded with effective disci through have been excited e and murder. Al most all the stores of the ship , includin g even her co pp er hpylinteh,eam slighteston g a relaxation ill and copper bolts, were saved, and transported across more than a mile of deep sand. After the provisions had been expended, during a period o f two months' ceaseless toil, the whole ship's company was mustered and marched 110 miles across a savage and unknown country, the disci • pline and behaviour of the men, during nearly a year's exposure to these severe duties, being so admirable as to have been honourably recorded by their captain in the course of his own defence, and to have received from the Court a testimony which both Captain Patten and his crew merited almost as fully by their improvement of an inevitable misfortune as they could have done by an) instance of less costly, though more glorious success.- 2 inter. FilE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY. An inquiry into the circumstances attending the late fatal accident at the King's Langley station was com menced yesterday, at eleven o'clock in the forenoon, before Francis Osbald, stun, Esq , Coroner for llertford shire, at the Bell Inn, Primrose-hill, a small hamlet in the parish of Abbot's Langley. Mr. Hayes (of the firm of Parker and Hayes, solici tors to the North-Western Railway Company) was pre• sent to watch the proceedings. The bodies of the deceased were lying in an apartment at the rear of the house. The remains were respec tively proved to be those of William Assup, aged t wee ty two years, engine -driver, and George Mathurs, aged thirty-two years, fireman. James Owen was the first witness called. lie said—l am an engine-driver in the service of the North-Western Railway Company. I came into their service in April ast. On Monday last, being in charge of the engine No. 16, I was directed to pilot (assist) the goods train, which left Camden station at half-past one, to Wolver ton. I did so, and remained at Wolverton until half-past eleven at night, at which time a luggage train, consisting of twenty-six waggons, came up from Rugby. Eight coke trucks were here attached, and I was directed to pilot (assist) this train on to London. The - first station we stopped at after leaving Wolverton was Leighton, where we left one waggon. The deceased William Assup was the driver of the engine behind me, and after the waggon had been detached I asked him whether I should take in water there or at Tring. He said, as he had nothing to leave at Tring, it would be better to take water at Leighton, and I did so. The .:onducting of a train, where the same is driven by two engines, is under the control of the driver of tho second engine, except with regard to looking out for signals, which devolves upon the first driver. We did not stop at any station after leaving Leighton until we came in 'sere, about three minutes after one o'clock on Tuesday morning. CORONER—And when you got in here what hap pened ? Witness—l saw a red signal. ConoNsk,-,Was tke, night foggy 2 Witness—Yes, very. I did not see the signal until we were within about two hundred yards of the post. I then opened my whistle, let off the steam, reversed my engine, and put the steam against her. I do not know whether my mate had actually applied the break. When we advanced a little further I saw three red lights on the main line, and the next instant a red hand signal lamp. I at once iaw the danger we were in, and jumped off the engine on to the line. On a clear night there would have been no difficulty either in observing the signal or in stopping the train. CORONER—Did Assup let the steam off his engine ? Witness—l cannot tell. I was too busy in minding my own duty. CORONER—You can surely tell whether his steam was let off or the engine reversed? Witness—lndeed I cannot. He might have been working his engine by expansion, and then I could not hear its beat. If I must answer the question, my impression is that Assup had certainly not reversed his engine. CORONER—What happened after you jumped off your engine? Witness—The luggage train ran directly into the coal train. Examination in chief—After the collision I went to look for the guard of my train. I found that he had been sent back by the policeman on duty at the Langley station, to stop all up trains. That policeman's name is rhomas Smith. Ho was the only man on duty at the station when the accident occurred. When a train passes a station, it is the duty of the policeman to turn el the red signal for so many minutes, and subsequently the green for a similar time, before showing the white iight. After the accident, the policeman gave me two fog signals, and directed me to follow the guard doWn the line towards Boxmoor, and place them upon the rails. I went down the line until I overtook the guard. I did not see the station master. On my return, the police man told me he had gone on to Watford, on the coal train engine, for assistance. CORONER—And what had become of the poor fellows who were killed all this time? Do you mean to say they were left unattended? Witness—Yes. The po liceman told me they were dead very shortly after the accident, but owing to the steam and water, which was flying about in all directions, it was impossible to afford them any assistance, or indeed to get near them until nearly an hour after the accident. The witness was further pressed by the Coroner, with a view to show that unnecessary delay had taken place before any attempt was made to extricate the deceased parties, but nothing of a character to bear out such a presumption was elicited. Examination in chief—My engine lay upon her side athwart the rails of the up and down lines. The leading wheels of the second engine had mounted upon my ten and the second tender had crushed the footplate of the deceased's engine. The bodies of both the deceased were crashed by the second tender. The fireman was fastened between the reversing lever and the fire box when I first saw him. He was very much crushed and quite dead. I did not see the driver. I was so shocked at the sight of the firemen that I did not go to look fur ther, but I heard that he was in a similar position on the other side of the engine. My opinion that deceased had not reversed the. engine arises from this fact ; for had he done so, both men would in all probability have been found on the reversing lever side of the engine. When on the road the driver and stoker generally stand one on each side of the boiler, as the deceased parties CONVICTS UNDER SENTENCE OF TRANSPORTATION. A letter, of which the following is a copy, has been transmitted to the visiting magistrates of all the county and borough gaols in England, and has caused consi derable discussion at the several quarter sessions, man y of the prisons not bein g sufficientl y ca p acious to accom modate more than the usual number of prisoner., sentenced to short terms of impri t sonment:— " Whiehall, Dec. 31, 184 G. " Gentlemen,- - I am directed by Secretary Sir George Grey to acquaint you that, in consequence of the sus pension of transportation of male convicts to Van Dieman's Land, it will be requisite to make immediate provisions for the confinement and imprisonment in this country of the greater portion of such offenders.

Sir George Grey directs me to inform you that a vote having been taken in the last session of Parliament for defraying the cost of maintaining convict prisoners in gaols, no additional expense will be imposed upon the counties and boroughs in respect of the maintenence of prisoners who may be retained in, or sent t o, any prisons in pursuance of the convict arrangements.

Witness—No, ;sir ; but there is a great un certainty as to the time of the goods trains arriving. CORONER—How long had the coal train been at the station when the collision occurred? Witness—About three minutes. CORONER—Did you start it ? Witness—No, sir. I was assisting the breaksman to detach some waggons when the collision happened. I had previously turned on the red signal lamp on the stationary post. CORONER— Hay,: you not got fog signals? Witness— Yes, but there was PO time to use them. Conorma—How do you mean no time? You have, I b:Teve, only to throw them down on the line? Witness —On, dear co, sir. They would have had to be placed on the rail at a distance of 500 yards from where I was to be of any service. CORONER—Did you not think it requisite to rmploy them on such a night? Witness—Highly rc onisite, and after the collision I gave sortie such signals to the driver of No. 16, in order to place on the rails as a caution to any advanc n. train. The witness here stated at length the course he had I adopted atter the collision, in order to obtain assistance; I and explained to the Coroner that so soon as the steam and fire allowed any one to apprcach the spot, Every exertion was made to extricate the deceased parties. He further stated that on hearing the approach of the goods train he ran do,vn the line about a hundred yards, waving his red lamp, and doing all in his power to stay its progress. The foreman said he thought if the fog signals had been used no accident would have happened. Several other members of the jury expressed a similar opinion. r ee th o e f the e a n t c p k a nTyo,mweays, nextpolic e e - a c l o l e n d s . t a b l l i e e 2 s 3 a 2 i d , the ret n e s rn e r b v e i night of Monday last. I was on duty at the Boxmoor station about twenty-five minutes to one, at which time the special coal train arrived. I expected this train in consequence of a signal attached to the preceding train. When it arrived the driver told me ho had five waggons to detach at my station. The night being very foggy, I brought out the porter and asked him to uncouple the waggons and attend to the points while I returned down the line to stop any train which might come up. I went about a quarter of a mile, and remained until I heard the coal train go on. I then returned to the station, and went into my hut, where I trimmed my hand lamp, on which I came out on to the line again, when I fancied I heard a train coming up the Boxmoor Bank. I ran down to the signal post, exhibiting my hand lamp as I went, but before I could get there the driver of the leading engine blew his whistle, and I believe he slackened his pace. The coal train had been gone by at this time about 11 minutes. As soon as I arrived at the signal post I showed a green light, to denote that the driver ought to proceed cautiously. had there been no coal train so recently in advance I should have shown a white light. Even as it was, the time had expired for the exhibition of the green light, but being a foggy night I was in no hurry to take off the red signal, and had allowed it to remain eleven minutes instead of five, as laid down in our regulations. If the red light had been allowed to remain on, the effect would have been to stop the goods train. As it was I was under no apprehension that the goods train would overtake the coal train. The foreman thought that if the same degree of caution had been shown at Langley as at Boxmoor no waccident foreman—Had r w hueey o m u es ara l have B v i / an dhap time , between therepn sir, e 3, e nu happened. been w o ae l 1 pa r ro e rr m i tve e ar m l an b tf e rtr the en hatgl trains.theree y s at Boxmoor, even then I think the collision might have been avoided. Mr. Bruyeres—l assure you, under ordinary circum stances, the hands employed at Langley are more than sufficient for the work they arc required to perform. Mr. John Weaver, foreman of the locomotive depart ment at the Rugby station, said he knew the deceased, Assup, who was an industrious and intelligent man. Wit ness had furnished deceased with the necessary rules on his entering the service, and so late as the 29th ult. had examined him as to his knowledge of his duties. Before being employed as a driver he had acted as a stoker in the company's service, Mr. Weaver was examined at some length as to his opinion whether the deceased had reversed his engine or shut off the steam. He was inclined to believe that the position in which the lever was found was attribut able to a blow from the tender, and not from the driver having touched it. Richard Ashby, the driver, and Langley, the breaks man of the coal train, were successively questioned, but their evidence threw no new light on the matter. Ashby said he travelled about sixteen miles an hour, and was not aware of having lost any speed between Boxmoor and Langley. The foreman said an impression had gone abroad that the deceased men had been overworked, and in conse quence bad fallen asleep while on the engine. He should be very glad to have this point cleared. Mr. Weaver was then recalled. He said they came on duty at seven o'clock on Monday night, having had 14 hours' rest previously. The jury expressed themselves satisfied on this point, and no other evidence being forthcoming, The CORONER summed up. He said the case appeared to him to be a very simple one. If blame attached to any person, he thought it was to the poor fellows who had lost their lives. Ho thought it quite unnecessary to read over.the evidence, inasmuch as he had no doubt the jury' would agree that neither the railway company nor any other person were to blame in the matter. The law of deodand, as no doubt they were all aware, had been abolished, and in its stead, a statute, entitled "The Accident Compensation Bill " had been passed. This measure, by the way, he might remark, was a most ex traordinary one, for while it professed to give a remedy, it took away the means of obtaining it (so the Coroner was understood to say). He did not know whether the royal Member for Sunderland was in the House when the Bill passed, but for his own part he should think it was him who prepared it. However, without making any further remark, he would leave the case in the hands of the jury, who would say whether, in their opinion, the accident had arisen from the negligence or carelessness of any individual. The jury, after consulting for a few moments, found " That the deceased, William Assup and George Mathurs, were accidentally killed;" and in returning this verdict the panel felt it their duty to recommend that more servants should be employed iu future at the King's Langley station. Mr. Bruyeres remarked, that if twenty servants had been employed he felt satisfied the accident would still have occurred under the circumstances proved in evi dence. were found. CortoNErt (addressing the witness)—Now, Owen, one word as to your regulations. Does any ono time the iuggage trains? Witnes—Yes, the guard. Our train was late on Monday night. Wo were late in leaving Wolverton. CORONER—What time did you expect to get to Wat ford? Witness—l cannot say exactly, CORONER—The policeman at the Langley station knew that goods trains were likely to pass between one and two o'clock? Witness—Yes, there can be no doubt of that fact. CORONER—And, knowing that, he leaves a number of waggons on the line? Witness—He was going to put some of the trucks back into the siding. The luggage trains have been very much behind of late. We have had a difficulty in getting through our journeys some times, especially during foggy weather, when the rails have been damp. CORONER—And, in the face of all this, a number of carriages are left on the line, on purpose to cause an accident. Mr. Hayes (the company's solicitor) here rose and ob jected to the Coroner making remarks, unsupported by evidence, which were calculated to bias the jury. The CORONER expressed his regret if he had implied any wilful neglect by his observation, and begged to re• tract the same. Examination of Owen continued—Under ordinary circumstances we can stop a train in 500 yards; but in foggy weather, and when the rails are damp, we require a longer distance. The deceased, Assup, had been em ployed four years as a stoker on the line, and about three months as a driver. The CORONER here suggested that perhaps the jury would like to visit the scene of the accident before they proceeded further with the evidence. Several members of the panel expressed a wish to do so, one juror remarking that he thought they had already heard enough to prove that extraordinary rules ought to be enforced in foggy weather. Mr. Bruyeres, the superintendent of the railway, re marked, that he thought there could be little doubt, if the driver of the second engine (No. 115) had observed and acted on the signals as Owen had done, the jury would not have had to sit there that day. Mr. Bruyeres kere read the foliowing rule from the book of regula tions :—" The engine -man is at all times to use great caution in foggy weather, and especially on approaching stations, from the difficulty of discerning the regular signals until close upon them ; and be is to be prepared to bring his engines to a stand should it be required. In cases of this sort the whistle is to be kept frequently going." Mr. Bruyeres (addressing the witness Owen)—You have said that on observing the signals at tho Langley station you shut off the steam and reversed the engine. Do you not think that if Assup had been equally vigilant, your train might have been stopped in time to avoid the collision ?—I am not sure of that, but, at any rate, he would have been prepared to jump off as I did. CORONER—The fact is, Mr. Bruyeres, this is where the shoe pinches. Although it was perfectly understood that another train was coming up the line, a number of waggons were left directly in the ordinary track. Mr. Bruveres hoped that this matter had been satis factorily explained. The fact was simply this. If the Coroner or any other gentleman, in coming up from Birmingham and wishing to get out at Tring, were brought on all the way to London, it would be no satis faction to him to be informed by the guard that the train was a quarter of an hour late, and therefore could not stop at Tring. The proper course would be to stop at Tring, as usual, taking care to exhibit proper signals. So, with a coal train, having to detac h waggons, the same principle applied.

The abolitionists instantly got out a habeas corpus, and carried all parties before court, to see what warrant they had to arrest any man in Vermont who had committed no crime. Three judges were on the bench, two of them young and energetic, one aged and feeble, who came to his seat by the habit of years, but seldom spoke, his eyes being dim and his strength abated. The counsel spoke—the defence wished to know why the man was kept in custody. The lawyer for the slaveholder rose to reply, and said he should move that the offender was guilty of a breach of the laws of Maryland State ; he was a slave, and had stolen himself. The other lawyer then said he should require proof that he was a slave. The slaveowner then stood up and held forth a docu ment ; this, he said, is a bill of sale, made in my favour, for this man, signed by his original owner. Then the old judge rose to his feet, and with a voice of thunder, strangely loud for one so old, demanded " who signed it, Sir ?" " John Williams," replied the astonished owner. " Take it away ! take it away 1" said the old man, rais ing his hands to heaven. "It is not valid, Sir ; it is falsely signed, Sir ; it is a blasphemous forgery ; none can sign the bill of sale but God Almighty." The court was electrified ; the slaveholder slunk out, and Vermont awakened like a sleeper, gave twenty thousand abolition votes at the next election.—Extract of a letter from Troy, State of New York, Oct. 1845. MARY ANNE WELLINGTON, EY THE REV R. COB BOLD, M.A.—This work, which has been dedicated, by permission, to her Majesty the Queen Dowager, is one which possesses very peculiar claims upon the favourable consideration of the public. It is not only extremely interesting in itself, but the object which the author has in view, is to obtain relief for the heroine of the tale, who, after having braved the perils of the whole Penin sular campaign, during which her kindness to the sick and wounded made her generally known to the army, and attracted the attention of the Duke of Wellington himself, now finds herself, in her old age, in a state of destitution. The daughter of a soldier, the wife of a soldier, and now the mother of soldiers, she may be said from her very cradle to have " In the pitched battle heard, Loud larums, neighing steeds, and trumpets long." The work gives a full account of her personal adven tures, comprising a very stirring narrative of the princi pal events of the Peninsular campaign. The f work, on the whole, we have no doub t, will attain a : it greater popularity even than " Mar g aret Catchpole. '—Sen d ay Times. Already has the address to his Holiness the Pope from the Animals Friend Society, of 18, Strand, been responded to by the humane Pontiff, in his causing an edict forbidding all dog fighting at Rome, even among the English residents ; and having also passed some other regulations of a like nature. The address, as we understand, caused a strong sensation on the Continent; and owing to the exertions of the society, through its foreign lion. Secretary Dr. Forster, cruelty to animals is now checked by the police there. The society also, last week, caused Wm. Shrale to be fined in costs at the Southwark Court by Mr. Seeker for great cruelty to a horse. In consequence of the public announcement from Mr. Byng, that it is not his intention to offer himself again as a representative for the county of Middlesex. we understand that the electors in the different districts, who have carried their venerable Member through so many struggles, are taking steps to get up a requisition to Lord Robert Grosvenor, requesting him to come for ward as a candidate for the metropolitan county, when ever a dissolution may take place.—Titues. HIGHWAY ROBBERY TEMPTED MURDER. A highway robbery, accompanied by very consider able violence, was committed in the neighbourhood of Bristol on Monday night. It would seem that a young man, named John Tucker, had hired himself as servant to a Mr. Watkins, who rents the rabbit warren and farm belonging to Sir John Smith, Bart., in Leigh woods, and on Monday evening, as he was on his way to his place, he happened to call in at a roadside beer-house to have a little refreshment. There were several men drinking there, and not being suspicious of anything wrong, the young man incautiously pulled out his money in their presence. He paid for his beer and pro ceeded on his way, when, at about half a mire from the beer-house, one of the men whom he had seen drinking there overtook him. They proceeded some distance in company, when, upon coming to a by part of the road, the man jumped before him, seized hold of his hands, and in a menacing tone demanded his money or his life. At the same moment a second man came up, and poor Tucker was knocked down and beaten. The man who had demanded his money then began to plunder him, steal ing 19s. 6d. in money from his pockets, stripping him of his wearing apparel, and robbing him of a bundle of wearing apparel. Tucker struggled with them, and cried out " Murder," upon which the fellows swore they would kill him for making an alarm, and one of them seized him by the throat and tried to strangle him. After a time they ran off with their booty, leaving him upon the ground in a state of exhaustion and alarm. As soon as he came to himself he went back towards the beer house, and gave information of the injuries done him. The police of the Bedminster division immediately went in quest of the robbers, and in the course of the night they apprehended two men, named James Flower and Edward Milkins. Upon Milkins's person they found a portion of the stolen property, and several articles were likewise found in his house. The fellows wt re taken before the magistrates on the following morning (Tues day), when Tucker identified them and the property found with Milkins. He swore positively to Flower as having been the man who followed him from the beer house and first attacked him, and to Milkins as having aided and abetted him in the robbery. Evidence was called to prove that the prisoners had been seen to follow the prosecutor from the beer.house, and they were both committed for trial. THE MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY BY A YOUNG FRENCHWOMAN. Yesterday, at Winchester Sessions, Mal vine Florentine de Saumarez, described in the calendar as of 19 years of age, and of superior education, was tried for having stolen, at Fareham, on the 28th of October last, a ja panned cash-box, containing 135 sovereigns, 23 half sovereigns, a guinea, and other articles, the property of Thomas Purkis. The extraordinary nature of this robbery, and the somewhat romantic circumstances attending it, of which a full notice appeared in this journal about two months since, created an intense interest in Hampshire, and long before the case was called on every available seat was occupied. A great number of ladies were in attend ance, and some belonging to the first families in the country were on the bench. The fact of the prisoner being a Frenchwoman had created considerable sympathy on her behalf, so much so as to induce several benevolent individuals to furnish the means of providing her with counsel. The prisoner, who was led into the dock, appeared to have suffered much during her lengthened imprisonment. She was respectably dressed, and wore a black veil, ap parently to conceal her features from the public, and during the whole proceeding avoided observation as much as possible. The facts stated in evidence were to the same effect as those deposed by to the witnesses during the examination before the magistrates. The CHAIRMAN (Sir W. Heathcote, Bart.), summed up the evidence with great precision, and the jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict of Guilty. The prosecutor recommended the prisoner to mercy. The CHAIRMAN then said, notwithstanding the recom mendation to mercy, he could not discover any exte nuating circumstances in the case. He had seldom seen cases where the advantages of education had been applied to such deep-laid schemes of vice. The sentence of the Court was, ten years' transportation. The decision appeared to create extreme surprise, and the prisoner fainted. PUNCH'S MESSAGE TO CONGRESS.—Gentlemen, — Brevity is the soul of Punch.; he will not, therefore, like Polk, write you a letter as long, but not so lively, as a volume of " Sam Slick." Your thanks are due to your national stars for the successful settlement of the Oregon question. You will learn with regret that you are in a decided fix. With a view to business you have marched into Mexico; but you have no business there. You are likely to meet with more drubbings than dollars. You had better imitate a former King of France, with his thirty thousand men, and march back again. If you do not take care, you will involve yourself in a national debt. You owe quite enough already; and I recommend you to pay it as soon as possible. I advise you to repu diate—not indebtedness, but—slavery. Industry is more profitable, and less hazardous, than annexation. The amendment of the law of Lynch is worthy of your con sideration. Gentlemen, I wish you a merry session, and a happy new year.—Punch. MIRACULOUS ESCAPE OF TEE LONDON AND BRIGHTON EXPRESS TEAIN. —The express train on ,1 f and a v ten er y mMionnadteays behind d in it g a trimeaec,hoewdinLo g to ndon an an a cc i d h e o n u t r alarming character. The train started from Brighton, a s usua l ten m inutes before nine o'clock. and proceeded , all right es far as Stoat's Nest station, but immediately after it passed the station the passengers in the first car riage, which was attached to the luggage-box, felt some thinginsTthan the et pas sengers give way, and almost at the same carr iage sunk, but still kept on its course. were greatly alarmed, not knowing what was the matter. The passengers in the third carriage were still more alarmed on finding the wheels of that car riage protruding through the bottom. All of them had the presence of mind to keep their seats, but in a dreadful state of alarm. In a few moments they were somewhat relieved by finding the pace gradually slacken, till they came to a stand-still, and the whole of them got out in safety. On examining the train, it was found that the axle and the wheels were entirely gone from the first carriage, which, when stopped, was off the line, but was still attached to the other carriages by the coupling chains. The second and third carriages were off the line on the opposite side, and greatly damaged. Mr. Rowland Hill, Mr. Peter Clarke (the manager of the London and Brighton Railway), and Colonel. Lane Fox, were in the train at the time. SUDDEN DEATH OF THE COMPTROLLER - GENERAL AT S OMER SET-HOUSE.—Last evening an if' quest was held before Wm.
