An advertisement in the Clifton paper makes known the desire of this "gentle swain," and it is to be hoped that some of the eligible young ladies in that fashionable suburb will deign to smile upon him.

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST THE LEEDS WIZARD. —About five months ago, a young girl of 20, named Eliz I Croft, whose parents reside in Pontefract Lane, Leeds, went to reside as domestic servant at the New Cross Inn, Meadow Lane. This girl was in this house a t t h e time when Dove was in the habit of visiting it, to meet Harrison. Croft had a sweetheart named Stevenson, but of late months he had not visited her so regularly as she appeared to have w'shed ; and iu order to prevent the connection from being dropped, she consulted Harrison, to give her a charm by which she could fetch the truant again to her side. The assault in question had been perpetrated during one of these visits. The case was placed in the hands of the Leeds police on Wednesday, and Harrison was shortly afterwards apprehended, and all his books, astrolabes, crystals, ate., removed to the police office. On Thursday, the prisonew was placed in the dock of the Leeds Court house, and the above evidence adduced against him. He was represented by Mr. Ferns. As the ease was still incomplete, Mr. Superintendent James obtained a remand until Monday, when the evidence against him will be completed. Although the news of the " Wizard's" arrest was comparatively unknown in the tow n , t h e Court house was densely crowded during the preliminary enquiry we hav e a b ove reported.

The following is a copy of Mr. Braithwaite Pool's letter, to which we have referred in another column : TO THE GOODS' MANAGERS OF THE 64 RAILWAY COMPANIES ASSOCIATED IN THE CLEARING HOUSE, LONDON. - Gentlemen,—ln retiring from the chairmanship of your body, a position which, by your favour, I have held for so many years, it is due to you, from whom I have recsived such invariable kindness and support, to explain the reasons which have led to a step, as painful to myself, as I beli , ve it will be unexpected by you. My connection with the ,London and North Western Railway has ceased. Without' further preface, .1 request your perusal of the following letter from the secretary of the company, the board minute, and my. reply—, London and North Western Railway, London, 13th September, 1856. My Dear "Sir,--I. am instructed to transmit to you the enclosed extract from the minutes of the board, and having so recently seen you, I need only add my best wishes, and remain, my dear sir, sincerely yours. B. Poole, Esq. CHAS. E. STEWART, Secretary. E,vtract from the Minutes of the Board, of the 13th day of September, 1856. The Deputy Chairman having teported the suspension of Mr. B. Poole, and submitted correspondence connected there with—Resolved—That the proceedings, as reported, be approved. The documentary evidence, with further letters addressed by Mr. Poole to the secretary and chairman, having been Considered, and the members deputed to see Mr. Poole for the purpose of hearing any further explanation which he might desire to offer, baying reported,—lt was resolved—That in the opinion of this board, the cours e a d o pt e d b y M r. P oo l e, in referen ce t o th e tr i a l of Wm. Parsonage, has been marked by such neglect of duty, as to destroy the confidence which should exist between a board of directors and an officer in Mr. Poole's position. In recording this opinion the board, at the-same time, desires to express its regret in being con strained to dispense with the services of one of its oldest officers, and one so well qualified, by ability and long experience, to render valuable service to his employers. Braithwaite Poole, Esq. l, Se, 1856. Dear Sir.—l b eg to acknowledge Liverpoo receipt22d pt eof he minute of the board under date 13th instant, to the effect that the directors are constrained to dispense with my services. In bowing to their decision, I must be permitted to say that it is unexpected by me; and, if not a great act of injustice, I respectfully submit, is more severe than the ocasion warrants ; and, as I may not have another opportunity, allow me to remind you of some of the circumstances connected with my position. When the misconduct of the late cashier Mr. Salter, and Mr. Parsonage, became known, the directors appointed a special committee to investigate the affairs of the Waterloo and Wapping stations. This committee entered upon a close and laborious scrutiny into every. part of my conduct; and it will be in your recollection that, inconsequence of allegations imputing improper conduct to mo personally, the events of many years were carefully reviewed by them to ascertain if any of those charges could be substantiated against me. The result of that enquiry, as personally communicated to me by the Marquis cf Chandos, was an entire acquittal by the board, as respects the imputations attempted to be cast upon my character. The only circumstance that bas since occurred is my omission to appear to a subpoena on the trial of William Parsonage. I received no orders from the directors on the subject, but I am now fully sensible of my mistake in not being,present. I endeavoured to retrieve my error by returning to Liverpool, and offering to attend in court to explain my absense, as I could have no personal object in being absent; since I had only to refer to the directors, who had so recently enquired into my conduct, to rebut any imputations which the ingenuity of counsel might have endeavoured to throw upon me. I cannot but think the decision of the directors, after my 17 years service, during which timel have devoted the whole energies of mind and body to advance the interests of the company, as a very severe sentence for a simple error of judgment: I have no appeal from their decison, and even if I had, I should not pursue it, for I feel that when confidence, however unjustly, is withdrawn from an officer, hii connection with a board of directors cannot tend either to their advantage, or to his own comfort. Much has appeared in the public prints on the company's management, and my name has been, freely mentioned. I have hitherto refrained from taking any measures to vindicate myself by recourse to the same channel ; hut per fecty conscious as Jam of the rectitude of my conduct in every respect, except in the error to which I have alluded, justice to myself and family may forbid me altogether remaining silent. Under all circumstances, I presume I shall receive the usual notice, or an equivalent, for being removed so hastily from my office. I will lose no time in arranging all the important affairs which are still incomplete in my office, so as to give as little trouble to the directors and my successor as possible. In conclusion, accept my thanks for your good wishes, and inform the directors that I appreciate the expressions of their regret at our separation, and assure them that I shall always continue to feel an interest in the success of an undertaking with which I have been so long and so intimately connected —I remain, dear sir yours faithf u lly, BRAITHWAITE POOLE. C. E. Stewart, Esq., To this letter 1 have had no reply. Such, gentlemen, is the plain statement I have to lay before you, and you will form your own judgment upon the case. To those among yOll with.whom I have been so long associated, and to whom I am personally so well known. It is, I am sure, unneces sary for me to say anything in my own justification ; but it may not be out 'of .place, in taking leave of you as a body, to add to the above . testimony of my general services, ex pressed in the board minute, the fact, that the directors of the London and North Western Company, who fotmed what was called the " Comittee of Investigation," after their recent elaborate research into the conduct and organisation of the various departments of the railway, recommended the board to appoint mews goods manager over the whole line, instead of the Northern division only, Permit me to thank you most cordially for the many friendly acts I have expe. rimed from you, individully and collectively, in the per formance of the difficult duties which have devolved upon me during the lengthened period I have occupied the chair of your association. The handsome service of plate you presented to me will often recall feelings of the past, and, believe me, I shall always look back upon our connection with pride and pleasure, trusting I may never forfeit your esteem or kindly remembrance. —With sincere wishes for your happiness, and the prosperity of your association, I remain, gentlemen, your faithful servant and friend, BRAITHWAITE POOLE NORTHERN TIME S.---LP;TERPOOL9 MONDAY. COURT OF PASSAGE -SATURDAY ACCIDENT impoßE E. JAMES, ESQ . Q C,, THE ASSESSOR during the a a neightiour, t tains I; cut.. ANOTHER ATTORNEY TN TROUBLE At the Knufsford Quarter Sessions, a day or two ago, a very singular and exciting scene occurred. In the case of an appeal - against a dotiviction under the Silk Act, for un lawfully having possession of silk supposed to have been stolen, Mr. Thos. Cooper, attorney, of-Oengleton, appeared for the appellant, a person nanied Hi 11.,, The case. had nearly. concluded, when John Seolt,Yebdstable, of Chinch. Lawton,'who happened' to be sitting 'On . the seat behind. counsel, about three persons distant from Mr. Cooper, was observed to say something to .constable Taylor, of Congleton, who was standing near the witness box, when .Taylor bolted down head foremost among the people's feet, and presently emerged holding up two small bits of paper.- whiettleihad picked up under-where Mr. Cooper was sitting, and exclaimed—'These are the pieces V' Instantly every body was on their feet, and the whole court was wrapped in ;breathless and excited attention. Mr..JOYnson, on:the bench, 'fitted the small pieces to the torn paper, and said that they corresponded exactly so far as they went, but that there was; yet a small piece :mi - sing. • Down dirM'C'ons'able Taylor again, and produced another small piece of paper, asserting that Mr. Cooper had scraped bis - foot several tirnos backward and forward on ,the ffoor _over where he found it. It was found to be an invoice for some 9lbs of silk. The Chairman, Trafford Trafford, Esq,, after having the advice of Mr. Be-iran -on the part of the - crown, he directed the depositions to be taken on oath (and signed) of every person . who saw anything of_the strange transactions. Mr. Cooper. .refusing to remain in the.court, and - endeavouring to force his way out, was here ordered into custody for contempt of 'court, and taken to the county gaol, where he was kept until the following day, when a forcible appeal was made to the ;court, praying for the merciful consideration for "Mr. Cooper. At the rising of the court Mr. Cooper was brought into court, when the chairman said : Mr. Cooper, what we are going to do is not a termination of this matter. The court will consider what they will do further in the matter. Oa the very proper application of your counsel on the ground 'of the state of your wife, we have decided to discharge you from custody at these sessions, but it will not prejudice any after proceedings which the court are advised to take. Mr. Cooper WnS accordingly discharged from custody, and afterwards an order of court was made, dirrcting the county solicitor to apply to th/ Court of Queen's Bench to have Mr. Cooper struck off the rolls. DISTRESSING CASE The, custom of " riding the stang," is not yet obsolete in some parts of the north of England. The object of the custom is to put parties to public shame who have been unfaithful to the marriage contract. On these occasions a mob, composed of servant lads, ploughmen, blacksmiths' and cobblers' apprentices, with all the boys in the neigh boUrhood, assembles in the village where the offenders reside. Upon a poll borne on the shoulders of two men, a third is mounted, and the procession moves forward. A halt is made at the end of every twenty or thirty yards, when the man on the " stang" repeats aloud an obscene rhyme, which is followed by loud hurrahs from the rabble. The village of Catterlen, in Cumberland, was the scene of one of those tumultuous gatherings on Tuesday night last. Suspicion bad arisen that an improper intimacy existed between a poor girl, named Moffat, the daughter of a miller, and a married man in the village. The " stang" was ridden, and amid shouts, yells, hurrahs, and filthy ejacula tions of the crowd, the girl's name and that of her supposed paramour were every where proclaimed ; their effigies were afterwardi publicly burnt. The girl'sfather, after the tumult h.,d subsided, got out of bed, and went to the back door which he found open.

Sere - rat other persons were examined, but their evidence threw no further light on the accident. It being now past nine. o'clock, the inquest was aajourned at this stage until Friday morning at ten o'clock. Before separating, Mr. Woods, the secretory to Mr. Spurgeon's chapel in Park-street, Southwark, stated, in reply to a question by Mr. Dormer, the foreman of the jury, that a collection was made in the hall after the accident, but it was not done by any person who was a member of Mr, Spurgeon's congregation, nor was any authority given by any of the office-bearers to make it. The fact was that a number of the nisney-boxes were standing about the hall, and some of the people on leaving put money into them. Other persons, unauthorised, carried some of the bows about, and in that way £9 was collected, which would be distributed among such of the relatives, who were poor, of the persons who had lost their lives. Previous- to the adjournment the husband of Harriet Barlow, speaking for himself and the rest of the relatives of the five dead persons who were conveyed to the work. house after the accident, said he wished to express the gratitude due from • those relatives, in common with himself, to Mr. nest, the tnaster of the establishment, for the humane 'consideration and kindness they had received from him in their visits to the workhouse, under circum stances of severe bereavement, and for the respect he had shown towards the remains of those who were dear to them. LOSS OF THE BRIG J. W. COLLINGWOOD, FEARFUL SUFFERINGS OF THE CREW. attain Stamp, late master of the lost brig J. W. Col ling wood, of Sunderland, and the other survivors of the crew of that vessel, have arrived at Sunderland, and give the following particulars relative to the loss of that vessel. The J. W. Collingwood left Quebec on the 20th of August, and for upwards of a fortnight had tolerably favourable weather; the winds while crossing the banks of Newfound land were generally adverse. On the 2ith September, when in lat. 50 56 N , and lon. 13.12 W., was overtaken by a gale from the N.W.; the sea rose very high, and the ship laborred very heavily. Next morning she became leaky; the pumps were got to work and kept going, but the water gained considerably. About 11 a.m„ after a part of the deck load had been thrown overboard, the ship was struck by two heavy seas on the weather side, which threw her over on to her starboard beam ends. All the crew suc ceeded in getting on to the ship's broadside except one boy, an apprentice, named Robert Brunskill, who was unfortunately drowned. The rigging was cut, and the masts broke by the deck, and the ship rose upright. Everything that was loose had fallen from off the deck whin the ship was on her broadside, and what was fast was washed overboard, so that the deck was completely swept, and the ship rendered a waterlogged wreck. The provisions being all washed overboard, the crew were reduced to starvation. The storm moderated, and by the 30th the wind and sea were tolerably calm. During the eight days that the crew (seven in number) were on the wreck, they had no sustenance whatever except an old shoe, in which grease was kept, that was found after the storm. One of the crew happened to have a box of lucifer matches in his pocket, with which a light was obtained, and a fire was made. The greasy shoe was roasted, divided, and eaten. On the 2nd inst., a brig came near, which was of the same name as the wreck,, viz., the Collingwood, of Glasgow. The sea w heavy at the time, but not so as to prevent the boat from being manned. A boat was put out of the brig, having a tow-rope attached, but no person went into her. She was towed past the wreck, with a view for her to drive so near as to permit the crew to get into her ; she did not, however, go so close to the wreck as to 'admit of being boarded, and all the wrecked crew were so weak and exhausted that none of them had strength to swim in such a sea. Although the boat lived, none of the Collingwood's crew seemed dis posed to man the boat to save the lives of the unfortunata sufferers. Ultimately the boat was sent adrift, and was seen by the wrecked crew a considerable time afterwards. The dolliiigwood proceeded, and left the helpless men to their fate. On the s'll inst. another shin, the Volga, Captain Jefferson, of Boston (U.S.), timbei laden, from St. John for Hull, hove in sight of the wreck and beat up to her. A boat was put out and manned with five men, who took the crew off the wreck. They were taken on board the Volga, and treated with kind attention: 'On the 14th all the crew, except the master, were by their own request put on shore at DungenesS. The master continued op board till the 17th, when the Volga arrived at Hull, where he safely landed, Captain Stamp and crew are very grateful for the extreme kindness they received while on board the Volga. FRIDAY'S PROCEEDINGS. The Coroner, Mr. Carter, resumed the proceedings, and a number of witnesses were examined, whose evi dence: all tended to prove that the alarm of " fire," and 4, the roof," appeared to have been preconcerted signals of a band of miscreants, whose intentions, no doubt, were plunder. After lengthened proceedings, the jury ultimately returned a verdict of "accidental death," and stated that it was the opinion of the jury that althozgh the staircases of the Surrey Music Hall were sufficient for the purpose they are intended for, yet they considered the construction was not of that character to .render them safe, more especially when a large number of .persons were anxious to leave the galleries in haste. The 'treads of the staircase were much too narrow, particularly near the hand-rail, and th e d escent too steep. The jury trusted, therefore, that the directors would give their immediate attention to the subject. The Surrey Grtrdens Company intend holding a general `rneelifig on 'Wednesday next, the 29th inst., on which occasion the accident will undergo full consideration. The meeting is to be held at the gardens. 4( T HE NEW SAFETY INIcsTAND, we can bear personal witness to, secures to all classes one which will keep the ink al ways clean and good, will prevent that accumulation of oxi - ie which spoils th e f i nest writing, and destroys the best pen ; by means of thi s inkstand, too, the amount of ink taken up by the pen can he e as il y regulated.

The hadscutched markets are still very scanty, consider ing the advanced period of the season, and the small quantities offered for sale are described as being of inferior quality. The transactions of the week have been of a quiet nature, purchasers showing no disposition to buy largely, unless on favourable terms. Coarse qualities of both milled and handscutched have receded, say six pence per stone within the last month, whilst really fine descriptions have been much sought after, and command high prices. Fine flax is generally very scarce, and the belief is, that very little of it will be produced during the present season. The largest quantity of handscutched yet brought forward was in Ballibay fair, where nearly fifty tons were offered for sale. The present tight ness in the money market has entirely checked all disposition for speculation, and has, no doubt, materially contributed to produce the present check to :the prices of flax ; but as soon as money shall have become easier, and the present enormous rates of discount shall have been reduced to a ilmsonable figure, we shall, in all probability, see the prices of II ix again rise, and an inducement thus held out will cause farmers to bring their stocks to market more freely.
