P, Maples, shipping agent to the -Company, 4, Arthur-street East (E.C.) THE OMNIBUS MONOPOLY. The omnibus monopoly is becoming a p er f ec t nuisance to the public. A French company ha s got possession of every route through th e nrietr polis, upon the distinct promises that there should be decided improvement in the canines, civility on the part of the servants, and punctuality in the performance of the journey—not one of which has been fu'filled. Not only live they retained all the old and warn-out carriages, but the servants have heroine proverbial for their incivility ; and when once a poor unfortunate passenger has been shoved head foremost into the dirty frowsy interior, he has no assurance that he will ever get to the end of his journey, and most certainly if he has made ,an appointment he will have no chance of keeping it. But this is not a ll . Th e company, b e i ng in posses sion of every line, has resolved the re s h a ll b e no competition. Any private proprietor who has the hardihood to venture upon sending out an omnibus may rest satisfied that no peace will be al owed him, and that not a passenger will be permitted to enter his conveyance, if it be possible to prevent it. The oldsystent,.as it is c all e d, o f " nurs i ng " h as b een revived, which means that two omnibuses belonging to the company are put on immediately, the one to precede, and the other to follow, the opposition vehicle, and to so great an extent has this species of intolerabl e tyranny proceeded that the driver is allowed no rest whatever.

Tl,e Albreda Convention, though relatirg to a subject of no great magnitude, is credito.bleto the good sense and moderation both of the French and of the English Government. It settles tiro con. troversies which hare been ever and anon busting cut iu a small way fort the last forty yea..s,'arid which any indiscretion of local officers mightat any time have ri} ened into a very unpleasant By this Convention Fi ante transfers to Begand a small factory called Albreda, which she his per siSted in regarding as national property, rp the 'river Gambia on the western coast of Africa ; while England formally abandons certain righti of trad ing in the Bay of Portendic, which her meiclaiits have not, we believe, exercised for the last twelve or fifteen years. By the cession of Albreds Eng land become , , in point of fact, what she his long been in point of law, complete mistress of tae im poeant river Gambia. By England's cession of a right to trade at POrtendic; France • hopes at last to gain what it has long been an object of her national policy to secure, a complete monopoly of the trade in Gum Senegal, and the concentration of that trade iu her own settlements on the river Senegal. On the abandonment of that right, the Trazar Moors, who collect the sum iu the forests which border ou the great Sahara,' will lose all chance of inolocinL English, traders again to enter into competition with the Rrenchl'or theiliirchase of that commodity ; and aq, in all human probability, the French will not go to the trouble, inconve nience, and expense of appearing in the Bay of Port endic as buyers; the Moors will be compelled to carry their gum for sale, to St.. Louis, on the Sene gal. But by this change England will not be any loser, and.the Moors, let us trust, will in some re spects be gainers. e shall not lose ; for, since our merchants were, some twenty years ago, driven by Lord Aberdeen's lathes out of the Portendic trade, the progress of chemical science . has econo mically superseded the use of gum by starch in our manufactures. Gradually, therefore, the Eng lish Government has (very wisely as it now turns out) diminished the relations which it once assidu ously cultivated with the Trazar Moors. It was in the habit, down to within the last few years, of making them considerable annual presents. These have, however, latterly been discontinued ; and though the Moors lately offered to renew the trade in gum on the coast on receipt of one-half - their ac customed presents, the houses engaged iii the Afri can trade felt no disposition to renew a commerce which, owing to the mismanagement" of Lord Aberdeen, had formerly. involved them in such seriouslosses. At bes t the trade in itsmost profitable times was full of inconveniences. The coat of the Bay of Portendic is a desert, and the Moors coin= ing down laden with their gum had to be fedirom ou board ship ; a compulsoryhcspitality which pro- tracted the trade and au gmented the cost of the ven ture. Henceforward we shall get the little gum we . use, as in point of fact we have latterly done, from France. We lose nothing, then, by this surrender of our right to trade on the gum coast. Our former competition with the French for the gum collected in the Sahara forests might, perhaps, in some degree have raised the price to the Moors ; but it brought, we fear, greater evils than benefits on • the Trozars. For not only did the French Government contest our right to trade in the Bay of Portendic, but whenever we began seriously to assert that right, the French local authorities were sure to pick a quarrel with the Moors, declare war against them, and then institute a blockade of the coast. Out of a proceeding of this kind arose the celebrated POtendic claims (so zealously asserted by LardtPalmerstou ' and so shabbily abandoned by Lord Aberdeen), involving as immense mass of angry controversy with Louis Philippe's Government. And down to the present time these attempts to coerce the gum trade have constantly led to wars between the Trazar Moors and the French at Senegal, which the secure possession of the commerce under the conven- tion of London will, we venture do hope, completely terminate. At all events, while we lose nothing by the surrender of the right, France gains a long cherished object of her national policy. in Western Africa. The cession of Albreda - by the French to the English Government is m however, in every way a very substantial . gain to England_ In the first place, it is the surrender of a national factory, which it is plain to all who have f Mowed the di , - cussion or studied the question, France had uo right to possess in the river Gambia, the sovereignty of which even the French Government in Louis Philippe's time admitted to be in England. It was by very gross neglect; after the peace of 'lBl5, that the English authorities permitted a French private estahlishinent at A►breda to assume a national cha- ratter. It is true that by the treaties of 1814 and 1815 we restored to France her African settlements, of which we had deprived her during the war, but Albreda was not a settlement within the scope of those treaties. Nevertheless, the French perse vered in treating this little comptoir as a French settlement, entit!ed to hoist the French flag and to receive French protection. The possession 'of this small factory in a grew, British river was used by the French under Louis Philippe in a manner cal culated te (five serious offence to the Colonial au thorities of St. Mary's, Bathurst, and annoyance to the English Government. In December, 1842, the Prince de Joinville, it will not be forgotten, forced his way up the Gambia to Albreda, and refused, in passing, to salute the British flag 4t St. Mary's This act of discourtesy produced a correspondence between the two Governments ; and on the 21st of March, 1843, M. Guizot was compelled to express, the disapprobation of the French Government of an act in which the son of his sovereign had been a promim nt party. It is not, however, in the temptation which the possession of Alhreda offered to breache; of inter national etiquette that its chief inconvenience as a French factory consisted. As the factory was limited to the ground on which it stood, so far as the import trade of the Gambia was concerned, it was to all int,mti and purposes a smuggling depot, and set at defiance those English customs duties and regulations whichc offered the rest of the river. The trade of the Gambia is on the increase ; and as it is a stream navigable for large vessels much higher up the river than Albreda (as far, we believe, as Maearthy's Island, 2011 miles .up), Albreda had beeline a great practical nuisance bo:h to the Ordoz Dial authorities 'and the British traders in that river. On the ground, then, of fical and commer cial, as well as political considerations, its cession is a measure of very considerable local Importance. To have spoken in Louis Philippe's reign of such a cession to England would have, produced a shout of unreasoning disapprobation throughout France ; but now, when the relations of the two countries have been placed on a rational foundation, the abandonment of this claim will receive the applause of every reasonable Frenchman. It removes ,a source of irritation and simplifies the possessions of the two countries. —Daily News. THE LATE STORM. During the storm which broke over the West Riding of Yorkshire on Friday last, as already re ported iu The Sun, the house of Mr. T. P. Rams den, of Pontefract, was struck by th e e l ec t r i c fl u id , which divided into two currents , one pa - sing down the chimney and striking Mr. Ramsden, who was standing near the fire, and also his daughter, who was seated a short distance from him. Mr. Rams den was not much injured, but- his daughter was prostrated with great violence, rendered blind and insensible, and lost the use of her lower extremi tirs. She is now slowly recoverin g from the effects of the shock. Another person and a child who were sitting in the same room escaped uninjured. The second current of electricity passed down one side of the house, entering one of the rooms and passing out of the window dow n a fall-pipe, the bottom of which was shattered to pieces, notr an iron holdfast. At this point the electric fluid re euteited the house, struck a cheffonier in one of the lower rooms, tore one of the do ors i rom it s bi nges, and broke it, tegether with a quantity of glass and other articles. The storm took a sonth-easterly direction, and burst with considerable violence be tween. Bawtry and Bet'' , .rd in the afternoon of the day above-mentioned. During the same afternoon it also visited the Isle of Axliolme, North Lincoln shire, and is described as very violent. In the evening a similar visitation was experienced at Boston, in the vicinity of which town the lightning struck the residence of Mr. Mowbray, farmer, of Hill-dike Bar, and completely demolished the gable of the house, penetrated into the interior, and ir,- jured three of the servants more or less. A cat sitting by the side of ono of these persons was htruck dead. Another of them was completely paralysed by the shock, and remained for some time in an alarming state of Prostration. Several places in and about the house bear traces of the course of the electric fluid. Numerous accidents of a minor character are reported in the above loca lities, but there was Ica() loss of human life. The parties to this action are Captain Ling and Major Croker, and the case was one of an extra ordinary kind, its p - rincipal feature being that at 'the trial letters were produced purporting t' have been written from Captain Laing to his wife, from which it appeared that be was cognisant' of the in timacy between her and Major Croker, end offered to take money to settle the afrair, and also detailing in most disgusting terms what had taken place be tween himself and a woman at Strumla. On the part of the plaintiff it was said that these letters were forgeries. The trial took place before Mr. Justice Willes; in Middlesex, and the jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff, damage, 1,0001. Mr. E. James now moved to set aside that ver dict, and to have a new trial, upon certain facts dis closed on affidavits. He said that the case mainly turned upon the question of the genuineness of the letters, for everybody acquiesced in the ruling of his lordship, that if the letters were genuine the smallest possible amount of damages would satisfy the jus tice of thecase, even if there should not be a verdict for the defendant upon the 'ground of leave and licj r ...T he case was one that would demand the u tteniion of their lordships, from the serious and most painful issues'which-were raised. between . 'these parties. The plaintiff, Capt Ling, had Married the darighter of Sir J. Littler whilst in India, al d Major Croker was at that tim e a dj u t an t o f .Sir John Littler's staff. An acquaintance had existed between the lady and Major Croker previous to her marriage, and that was renewed on the voyage home, and it was conceded on both sides that adul tery had been committed. The case, as he said, de pended much upon the genuineness of certain letters which were now in the hands of the associate, and which he need not disgust their lordships byreading. Captain Ling had gone to Turkey after he returned from India, and was with the Turkish contingent at Shumla down to September, 1856. Mrs. Ling went down to reside • with her mother in the neigh bourhood of Torquay. During his absence there was no doubt that criminal intercourse took place with Major Croker, and the letter showed that Captain Ling had sanctioned this intercourse wi h his wife. Immediately after his return from Scutari he wrote to his wife, addressing her as "My dear Madam," and stating, "You had better when you write to Croker, direct under cover to the agent. For God's sake take care Lady Littler does not see the letters passim: to and fro between you. I sent you yesterday a letter from C.." Mr. Justice Willes—As to the other letters, it was enough to say that they were written after hearing of the infidelity of his wife, and he asked to be paid for it. . Mr. James would not disgust their lordships by referring to the terms of the letters,' but would come at once to the serious question whether they were genuine or not ; but he must remark that it did appear to be• an anomaly in our law that the only"three persons from whom the truth as to the genuineness of these letters could .be elicited were not capable of giving evidence, the plaintiff, his wife, and the defendant. Major Crolier's affidavit stated that he had nothing to do with the concoc- tion of these letters, and Mrs. Ling asserted tlial they were genuine. Mr. Justice Willes inquired if there was any affi davit of surprise! _ _ Mr. James—There was an an affidavitof surprise at the handwriting being disputed. The Chief Justice—What was the evidence of handwriting ? Mr. Justice Willes--A .sergeant who came home with invalid troops, and he had every day to take his accounts to Capt. Ling, who signed them. There was also a soldier, who produced a certificate of cha racter from Capt. Ling. - Mr. James—lnd there was also Mr. Carnell, the mate of the vessel in which they came home. He trusted their lordships would direct a further in vestigation of the matter. Mrs. Ling now asserted in the most distinct terms that those letters were in her husband's handwriting, and that they were written to her, and that he had written similar let ters to her before. It -WAS never anticipated that Sir F. Tbesiger was instructed to deny that these were in the plaintiff's handwriting, and therefore the question of handwriting was not tried as it might otherwise have been tried. The lady was of high respectability in all except this occurrence, and she handed the letters to the solicitor, and the de fendant did not bring the same proof of handwrit ing as if it was an action on a bAnker's cheque. Mr Justice Crowder inquired whether th ere was an affidavit of the plaintiff ?_. - - - Mr. James-Oh, yes ' • distinctly swearing that the writing was not his. It was a most painful case. Mr. Justice Cresswell said there was a difficulty as to the wife's affidavit. He did not think that they could look at it at all. Mr. James—Then their lordships must exclude the husband's affidavit also. Mr. Justice Willei said that when the cass was be fore him on an application t.) stay execution other affidavits were produced as to handcar ting. Mr. James—ln "Hawker v. Seale" the court decided that they would not read the affidavit of the wife, denying the adultery ; but here the affi davit of the wife was only as to the genuineue3s of handwriting. If such an affidavit wa4 ivadmi-sible it would be a perfect impediment to the investiga tion of the truth. He submitted that there was a distinction between an affidavit denying the adul tery and an affidavit as to handwriting. Mr. Justice Cresswell thought that there was no ,difference. Mr. James—The position, then, would be that the three persons who alone could know anything about the matter could not give evidence at the trial, and if there was a miscarriage the only per sons who could know whether the letters were genuine or not were not allowed to mike affidivits. The Chief Justice—That clause was founded upon a notion that much public scandal would arise from the examination of parties to cases of this kind. As these persons could not b 3 examined if a new trial were granted, the question was whit other evidence there was ? Mr. James—There was abundant evidence. It was usual on long voyages to write a sort of news paper on board the vessel, and Capt. Ling when he went out took a very active part in editing or writ ing in the newspaper. They had obtained that news paper, and if the rule were granted a most minute examination might be made of i-. It would ba seen that there was a most extraordinary similarity as to handwriting, showing that Capt. Ling wrote diffe rently at different times. Some of the experts stated that they did pot believe the letters to be in the handwriting of Capt. Ling, and oce of the principal reasons for that opinion was that there was a parti cular turn in the letter D. This newspaper had been examined, and in almost every inst ince the D bad the particular form from which the experts rea soned that the letters were not ganuine. They ha,i procured the newspaper from Captain Webb, who commanded the vessel in which they sailed, and the genuineness of the document, h believed, would not be disputed on the other side. These letters detailed circumstances which had taken place in Captain Ling's tent in Turkey, and if they were forgeries they were the most skilful ones which had ever been produced by the erea!est crimin•il. Mr. Justice Cresswell inquii ed whether there was any evidence as to who ha'l forged the letters ? Mr. James—There was not the slightest sug gestion. Mr. Justice Willes—There was this : Mr. Brem ridge in his evidence was pr, - !ceeding to say that the letters were like Mrs. Ling's handwriting, when there was a sort of desire not to bring that on, and nothing further was said. The witness blurted it out without any question being put t, him. Mr. James said that Sir F. Thesiger did not sug gest, in his summing up, who it was that hadforged them. The trial had caused great excitement, and it having reached Mrs. Ling's ears that it was im puted that she had forged the letters, she at once made the affidavit, denying in the most solemn terms that she had done so. The Chief Justice said a rule would' be granted, but there must be some further affidavits as to the surprise and as to the handwriting. As to the ad missibility of the wife's affidavit, that must be dis cussed when the case came on, on cause being shown. Rule granted. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY.—Arm 15. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) BANKRUPTCY OF COL. WAUGH. An adjudication • of bankruptcy Was marle this morning against the well-known Col. Waugh, late of the London and Eastern Bank. The petitioning creditor is Mr. William Samuel Price Hughe s , of Worcester, gentleman. Waugh is described iu the petition as follows :—" William Petrio Wa ug h , of Branksea Island, in the county of Doiset, and of POLICE INTELLIGENCE-April n. MANSION-HOSE.--Mr. Wm. Bray, a re spectable-looking man, was charged before the Lord Mat or by police-constable Thomas Stevens, No. 17, with assaulting and obstructing him in the due executi,m of his duty. The officer,, having been sworn, said—About half-past three o'clock yesterday afternoon I was on duty on Cernhill, when the defendant and three. 'or four worn-n surrounded me, one of whom ac hcused me of detaining her daughter. I told them I knew nothing of hfr, and desired them to go away. The defendant followed me, and called me a scoundrel anti a, vagabond. He also struck me se veral times, upon which I took him into custody. The Lord Mayor (to the defendant)—What have you _to say in answer to this charge 7 Defendant—My lord, he has broken up my home three times. is now. living with my wife. While I was travelling with goods in Yorkshire, my errand boy fmnd him in my house, and saw his coat hanging up in:-the passage. The Lora Mayor—Where do you reside? Defendant—ln Lambeth-walk. The Lord Mayor—How long is it since the matter to which you refer took place.? Defendant--About i,Vo years and a half ago. The officer was in the police force at that time. Officer—lt's false. I never was in a house in Lambeth-walk. - Defendant--I can'prove that he stopped with my wife four days, and then took her away with him. Officer—The 3 own woman has been keeping this man by prostitution for years past. I have known her myself more than five years. The Lord Mayor—Do you mean to say that she is not his wife ? Officer—She is not. Defendant—She is, my lord. When I asked him•for my wife he seized me by the collar and struck me in the face. I deny that I struck him first. Susan Clark was then called as a witness for the defendant, and - said—l never saw the defendant till yesterday, when the policeman collared him and-struck him, of er which he pulled his nose, and-said to him, ." You —, I want you. I'll lock you up. I saw the whole transaction, and wont to the station-house, and the policeman turned me out three times. A person named Emma Burgess was present when the policeman seized the defendant, and she produced the likeness of her daughter (de fendant's wife) as well as that of the policeman. Mrs. Emma Burgess—l am the mother of the defendant's wife, whom I have seen with the police man a great many times. He took her from her home, and she has been living with him. He has taken lodgings for her at t wo diff eren t pl aces , a t one of which he agreed to pay 15s. a week. This was at a brothel, and she used to go out of an even ing with the girls that lodged there. I succeeded in 'getting her away from this brothel, but he has since got hold of her. The policeman's wife is a prosti tute. A few days ago the policeman took my daughter to a house over the water, and passed the night with her. I produce a daguerreotype likeness of the policeman, which I took from my daughter. The Lord Mayor said he had heard suite suffi cient to justify him in sending the matter, as re garded the conduct of the policeman, to be inquired into by the Commissioner of Police ; and in the meantime the further hearing of the present charge would be postponed. The Lord Mayor directed Inspector Mitchell, who was in court, to report the proceedings to the Commissioner of Police. GUILDHALL.—Maria Burling, an elderly wo man of a bloated and repulsive appearance, was charged with sending letters demanding money under threats of an abominable description to a number of merchants and others in the City. A - polic:man went to No. 3, George's-buildings, Albion-buildings, Goswell-street, and found the prisoner and four young femiles. Alderman Copeland—What were those young female; doing there ? They came there to have their fortunes told. Alderman Cope!and—ls it possible? The prisoner said she was a fortune-teller. Alderman Copeland—What kind of persons were the females who were with her ? They were very respectable persons—in a superior position. I should think they were the daughters of respectable tradesmen. Aid er wan C ipel ,nd—Have you taken their names and addresses, because we may want them to attend? Yes, sir, I have taken them all. The officer said he looked into a cupboard and found two letters upon brown paper, similar to those produced. One of these was addressed to Mr. Hitchcock, of St. 'Paul's-churchyard, and the other to Jarvis, the de tective, at Bow-lane Station. Alderman Copeland—Have you any questions to ask the witnesses ? Prisouer—What am I to say ? What am I accused of ? Alderman Copeland—The charge against you is for sending letttrs threatening to accuse gentlemen of the most disgusting offences, unless they com pliedwith your demands. Prisoner--No,, sir ; all I know is that I have written letters for a tall, dark woman, who could not write • and when I saw what she wanted me t 9 write I objected, and she said it was all right ; it was only nonsense. But I never wrote any oa brown paper. Aldermin Copeland—l never met with such a gross case in all my experience as a magistrate, and I have made up my mind upon the evidence as it stands to send this case ultimately for trial, and I shall direct the City Solieitor to prosecute. The prisoner was then remanded. BOW-STREET.—Geraldine Longloy, a consta ble of the A division, formerly a police officer and assistant-groom of the stables, at Scotland-yard,.was charged with having absconded from his employ ment with his livery and uniform. The defendant had been in the force about four years. A short time ago he applied for leave of ab sence, with the view of getting mulled, but he never returned to his employ ; and it having been found on inquiry that be had absconded both from his situation and from the girl whom he had pro mised to marry, he was pursued and apprehended, it having been suggested that a more strious charge might be preferred against the defendant fur hav ing obtained money by false pretences from the young woman in question. Mr. Henry directed her to be placed in the wit ness-box. Abigail Cook deposed that she was a servant, at present residing at Dorking. She first made the acquaintance of the defendant more than four years ago, at Godalmiug Vicarage, in Sussex, where they were fellow-servants. They had kept company ever since. The defendant left the vicarage to take a situation in the London police. A time was fixed for their marriage, and defendant promised to gdt leave of absence. He represented to her that he had some money invested in a building society which he was loath to disturb, as it was " earning more money," so she lent him iii., besides pur cha-ing a great many things, and sending them to him by his order, amounting to 51. or 6/. more. A Sunday or two ago he borrowed her,BiVe and Church Service and a lawn ha ndkerchief, and he induced her to let him have her watch and guilt chain, with a soy , reign, under pretence that h e would exchange the watch, &c., for a very hand some one. He had given the watch to her four years ago, but the gold chain was purchased by herself. He had now deserted her altogether. It was understood that the defendant had formed another connexion. The defendant pleaded gully to the charge of bscwiding. He said he forgot to delver un the uniform, and had since lost it. The suit of very was still on his back. With respect to the girl, the watch was formerly his own, and he meant io pay back her money. Mr. Henry regretted that his conduct to the girl, although very heartless, could not be treated as a criminal offence ; but for absconding with the uni form he must be committed for one month. LAMBETH.—Wm. Jackson, who has been in custody for some weeks on a charge of being con-, t 1(3 rued, with his brother and a female with whom the latter. cohabited, and who are not in custody, iu d.rugging a gentleman named Byford and robbing hi m of three Bank of England notes of 201. each, and about 101. in gold and silver, was again br.aug,-tit up. T 4 prosecutor had been induced to mom- Mr. Elliott observed that he did not believe it to be the prActice of marking notes at such plitces ; and it being his impression that the identity of the prisoner was not so satisfactory as to lead to a con viction, he ordered his discharge. An application was made to have 5/. odd found on the prisoner restored to him, but Mr. Elliott refused to make any order on the subject. WANDSWORTH.—Sarah Dickinsori a stout middle-aged woman, the wife of a master baker, carrying on business at Barnes, and who is also the keeper of *a post-office, appeared before Mr. Ing ham, at the instance of the South-Western Railway Company,, to answer a summons charging her with travelling upon' the line from Waterloo station to Wanthworth, without paying the fare, with intent to avoid thepayment thereof. The circumstances of the case were of a very pe culiar description, and exhibited a method by which railway companies might bs defrauded to a very great extent. The defendant pleaded not guilty. It appeared flora the evidence of Mr. William Tewsby, the station-master at Wandsworth, and other servants of the company, that on Thursday, the 2d inst., he (Tewsby) was watching the arrival of the 9.53 train from Barnes, at the Wandsworth staton, when he saw tite defendant alight fro►n a second-class carriage. Hts requested the porter to take ps.rticular notice of the ticket which the de fondant would hand to him up .n leaving the sta- tion. The porter, after be had gathered the tickets - and the passengers had left the station, brought him the half of a return ticket from Barnes to Wands- Worth and back, which he said the defendant had given him upon quitting the platform, Just before • the quarter to 12 o'clock train left Wandsworth sta tion for Waterloo, the defendant came up and asked for a single second-class ticket for Waterloo. She received one, and paid the usual fare, 6d., for it. The station-master, who had been watching her, suspected her design, and followed in the same train with the defendant to London. He remained at Waterloo station until she returned and took her seat in the quarter-past 2 o'clo train. He and an officer followed in the train with her to Barnes, and upon her alighting she gave the remaining half of the double ticket from Barnes to Wandsworth. The officer followed ger and asked her if she had not made a slight mistake in the ticket she bad given ; she at first denied that she had made a mi-take, but afterwards said she had made a mistake and ought to have paid from Waterloo and that she would return and pay the fare. He told her that she need net do so, as she would hear further from the company. Mr. Tewsby said the company had been defrauded of the fare from Waterloo to War.dsworth, which. was 6.1. If she had taken a return ticket from Wal ds worth to Waterloo and ,back, the fare would only have been 10d., and she would only have had to • pay 4d. more. The defendant said—At the time she was not aware that there was any other demand. She saw now that she ought to have taken a return ticket from Wandsworth. It wa3 quite an error on her part. - Mr. Ingham asked Mr. Tewsby if he was certain be heard the defendant ask for a single second-class ticket ? Mr. Tewsby said he was quite certain, as he was watching her carefully. The defendant positively denied that she asked for a single ticket. She never used the word single. Mr. Ingham' wished to know the reason of his having watched her. Mr. Tewsby said he had suspected her for some time, and was upon the watch for her. He could prove a similar case. The defendant denied having done so before. This was the first time she had committed such an error. vj Mr. Ingfiam thought he should have some evi. deuce to show that the act was intentional. Mr. Tewsby then said—On the 26th Dec. last tho defendant rode up in a train from Barnes to Wands worth to Waterloo. He communicated with the men at Barnes station by letter, but from an acci dent she was allowed to pass without notice being taken of the ticket. He had also seen her several times purchase single tickets from Wandsworth to Watarloo, after having given up the half of a return ticket from Barnes to Wandsworth, but he had not seen her return. Mr. Ingham said, from the evidence he wag per fectly satisfied that it was intentional on the part of the defendant, and he fined her 20s. and cos s. The defendant, in paying the money, thought It very hard she should be fined. . Mr. Ingham said it was still more hard upon the company to be defrauded of their fares in that sp. tematic manner. THE . EUPHRATES RAILWAY OR MR SUEZ CANAL-WHICH SHALL IT BE? Political ascendancy wants to rest its font upon private enterprise. What should be reserved for the protection of the commercial relations of coun tries is misused to thwart their development. Rapid communication with our Eastern empirb is within our reach as a "natio❑ of shopkeepers," but beyond our control as a "nation among nations." M. Les4eps and Mr. Andrew advocate practical messures in a cosmopolitan spirit ; and unpractical diplomatists, greedy of present fame and of imagi nary future power, add their bitter drop in the shape of national jealousy. The Viceroy of - E2ypt has granted to M. Lesseps a charter to construct a calial across the Isthmus of Suez. The Porte is not allowed to ratify it. The Porte has ceded to Mr. Andrew the right to make a railway from the Mediterranean to the Eu phrates—a short link, useful only as a local line. Foreign influence prevents its becoming a transit route. Th 9 projectors have each published their book showing the advantages of more rapid communica tion with India, moneyed men have rallied round them, but—there is a dead lack—influences, whose object is unknown, whose action is only hinted at, have scotched the wheels and sown discord on the road. - Diplomacy has at last found the " engineer ing difficulty," which committees of both houses are accustomed to hear ignored—at least in evi dence. The English people can find a moral in this state of things ; they pride themselvts upon their repre sentative institutions, and the powerof the voice of the country ; were this matter a parochial griev ance public opinion would soon have sif,ed the truth and corrected the " influence." How it it that because it affects the intere-ts of an " empire" the battle is left to two energetic men, each riding his hobby, arid more inclined to tilt at each other than to face that " influence" which works in the dark ? The truth is, we forget that the immense exten-' sion of our commerce necessitates an extension of our foreign relations, and until a gross breach of covenants, such as caused the Russian war and the Chinese brawl, becomes a party cry, we resign . the care of the sources of our most important commer cial wealth' o the hands of the most unpractical and least understood department—the Foreign-office. Treaties are made, no t en f orced, or annulled with out Parliament being • form ed. Commerce is checked, or facilities denied it, through what can only be aptly termed "ta force d'inertie." Public discussion can alone check this tendency to irresponsible state craft ; we must have the best and quickest means of access to India and Australia ; the countries we pass through are disposed to grant us these facilities, and we have aright to insist that no diplomatic jealousy shall prevent the true merits of, what may appear to some to be, rival rorites, being fairly brought before public opinion for judgment. The Euphrates Valley is said to be peopled by wild tribes of Arabs, the Suez Canal requires large artificial harbours on difficult coasts ; the practi oabilLy of subduing the one and overcoming the other offers a fair fled for discussion, but we strongly recommend the promoters not to add to their difficulties by trying to forestall a railway by a telegraph, as Mr. Andrew propos la to do, and leave his real project subject to the objections which a telegraph per se through such a country i s o p en . to. If a telegraph Call be made to India, the pre sent overland route is evidently the one to foll3w. —Morning Paper. How To MAKE AN ANGEL.—The Avenir, of Nice, re lates an extraordinary instance of superstition, which, h,wever, in the face of witchcraft in England, will not so much surprise as shock the reader. A servant in a family, of a yourg man, his wife, and an in f:wnti,t consistingasfoun found squeezing the head of the infant to a jelly, by way, as be eaid, of making an angel of it. Either, he said, the child will die and go to Paradise, •t it wil survive and be innocent ever after. ~. 4 - ,_ _ ann 7, at 11 in Ilan- iron and.
