Lei IV LYLLLLIG.K4VCE. YORX AND NORTH MIDLAND RAILWAY V. HUDSON. . This case was brought before the court on further direc tions and on motion, to vary the certificate of the chief clerk of the Master of the Rolls, approved of by his Honor as to theLninotnit which defendant was to be called upon to pay into court after having taken the accounts directed by the decree. Before the motion was heard on its merits a dis cussion took place as to whether it could be heard at all, whether it was not the intention of the orders that a matter should not be argued by solicitors in chambers, and again b ',counsel before the same judge in court: His Honor declared his opinion that the intention of the orders was, that no matter should be twice argued before the same judge, and he should act on that opinion in all future cases; having regard to the novelty of the new prac tice, he would permit the question to be argued again before him in open court. Mr. Rolt, who appeared for the defendant, then addressed the court in support, of the motion, which was substantially a motion to reduce the amount which defendant was or dered to pay. The first item on which he moved a reduc tion was in respect of 300 East and West Riding Extension Shares for which defendant was charged in the certificate with i 8,400. The company passed a resolution that 38,500 of the 50,000 East and West Riding Extension Shares should be allocated among the shareholders of the company, and that the remaining 11,500 should be at the disposal of the directors. 9,000 of the 11,500 shares were entered in Islr, Hudson's name in the shareholders' registry at the end of the alphabetical list, but in December, 1849, 300 of these shares were transferred to his name in the regular alpha betical order, and he paid the calls due in respect of them, and. received the dividends from that time. In taking the accounts the chief clerk had charged Mr. Hudson with the vice,,of, the 300 shares on the day they were so transferred to him. *The 'decree declared that the defendant was a trustee of the company for these shares, and that he should *count for the profit of the shares disposed of by him, or by any person or persons by his order, in his character of chairman or director of the company. Mr. Hudson sold these shares in 1849 for 4,5751. only, and it was now sought tn reduce the item from 8,4001. to 4,5751. His Honour, without waling on the counsel for the com pany to reply, held that the transfer in the snare book from -the end of the book to Mr. Hudson's name in the alpha betiCal list was a disposal of the shares within the meaning of the decree. From that day he paid the calls, and re ,ceived the dividends, and became the owner of the shares. He was, therefore, properly charged with the price of the -shares as transferred to him, and as no money passed, it was wpioper to charge him with,the price of the shares on the day ,7they were transferred. He should not, therefore, vary the certificate so far at related to that item. The next item objected to was 2,3371. 10s.. in respect of _lOO shares transferred to Richard Nicholson. Plaintiff ad mitted that Mr. Hudson was not to be charged with 1,800 shares. ..Mr. Gray proved that 200 of those 1,800 shares were as signed to Mr. Nicholson, but Mr. Hudson had been charged watt? 100 of those 200 shares. /e arauments on this item were proceeding when the court rose. . , f • SMITH V. THE ROYAL MAIL STEAM NAVIGATION COMPANY. This case was resumed on Friday. Mr. Sergeant Byles, after further evidence was given for the plaintiff, ad dressed the jury for the defence, and concluded by stating that he trusted the jury would bear the defendants' case with the: same impartiality that they had heard the plaintiff's, and that in the result they would give a verdict for the defend -rf-ants. But even if they should be of opinion that their ver xf,dict must be for the plaintiff, he submitted that a small amount of damages would meet the merits of the case. There yfere . eleyen actions already, and if the jury gave a verdict tlibliraintiff, there would be twenty more by the other ikimidAass passengers, and all these carrying the costs against the company. Captain James Simpson Hutton explained the cause of the • delay, which arose from the breaking of a portion of the machinery. He stated that the quality of the provisions was good, and the quantity abundant. Some articles are always bad in part, but any of that kind they found were always thrown away. , ';f lNr. John Algar, purser of the ship, and the doctor, Mr. lloneywood, gave evidence in support of the defendants' _ case, corroborating that of the captain: ;Mr. Green,lof the, firm of Linklater and Co., Mark-lane, who supplied the ship, depoied that his house gave first quality provisions for the , ship. Their account was £2,659 2s. 9d. The case was adjourned. On Saturday the case came on again, and at three o'clock on that day, the trial having concluded, there was a verdict for plaintiff—damages, £7O. In the eleven other cases ver dicts of £5O were entered by consent. DOWDAL V SAME COMPANY. This was an action brought against the same company for having dismissed the plaintiff from his office of purser of the Australian mail-ship, on her unsuccessful attempt to clear the channel in April last. Verdict for plaintiff £4O, in addition to £22 paid into court., TURNER, r. TEE MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANY.—LIABITaTv Fax LTSCIOACIM. Thu plaintiff is a commercial traveller, and on the 28th October, 1852, had gone in an omnibus from an hotel at b4by, in order to take the 11 o'clock train to Birming ham. On arriving at the station, he asked the driver of the omnibus to take his luggage on to the platform. The driver refused to do so, as it was contrary to the regulations of the company. He took in the luggage himself, and as he was too late Tor the train, he delivered it to a porter, who placed *on a truck, and he went to call on some persons until the starting of the two o'clock train. On his return to the sta tion he did not see his luggage, and, supposing it had been placed on. one of the vans, he started to Birmingham. He 'missed his luggage when he arrived there, and it had not &en. since found. The value of the luggage was admitted to be £l5. The defence was that the luggage had never been delivered to the servants of the company, as the driver of the omnibus had assisted the plaintiff to put it on the platform, and that the plaintiff was so intoxicated, or " muddled " with liquor, ilidt he was not able to take care either of his luggage or himself. The omnibus-driver, the superintendent, a clerk and a guard at the Derby station, were called to make out this case. Lord Campbell,in summing up, said it was for the jury to say whether they believed the story told by the plaintiff, or by the witnesses for the defence. Mr. James submitted that•the defendants would be liable if the jury believed that the luggage had been deposited on the platform by the plaintiff or omnibus driver. Lord Campbell held that they would not. It was of the last importance that railway companies should punctually discharge their duty to the public; but it would be most unjust to impose on them a liability that did not belong to them. The jury, after a short consultation, returned a verdict for the plaintiff damages £l5. Lord Campbell directed execution to be stayed until next term. BANKRUPTCIES.—IN RE JOHNSON, AN UNDERWRITER. This was the last examination meeting in the matter of Thomas Johnson, merchant and underwriter of Broad street-buildings, who had traded, in partnership with two others, under the firm of Johnson, Peel and Co. His ac counts, prepared by Mr. Turquand, commenced on the 30th June, 1850, with a deficiency of 3,9601. He now owes to unsecured creditors, 3531.; ditto on underwriters' account, C 0.,; ,secured creditors, 1,933/. ; to Johnson, Peel and u 0,1 out. were stated as follows : Good debtors, 28/. ; ditto on underwrlLL.. 6 2-854/ , pro perty held by creditors, 7071. The receipts on tne'Lea,, writing account had been 3,007/. ; losses, 1,187/. ; household expenses, 1,339/. ; personal ditto, 1,8451. Mr. Cotterill, for the assignees, opposed, and wished for further accounts to be rendered. _ His iiOnor thought no benefit would arise to the credi tors, and would not allow it. _ _ The examination was passed, and a day named for a cer tificate meeting.

MILTON HALL AND CLUB.—A meeting was held in Glas gow on Thursday, at which Sir James Anderson, M.P., pre sided, for the purptse of co-operating with those parties in London who are about to commemorate our great poet by the erection of a hall and club in the metropolis. PAISLEY. —A GREAT MISTAKE.—A very worthy collector of accounts found himself in rather a queer box lately. While in his usual rounds of cheerfully collecting cash from the willing, and dunning those who had a strong aversion to part with their spare funds, ho knocked at the door of a house, from the i nma t es o f w hi c h he expected a small portion of her Majesty's coinage. He knocked, but no one answered, and, just as he was t urn i ng t o l eave , h e heard the bolts giving way, and the door opened. A female face, beaming with joy, saluted his surprised look, and protestations of the great delight she felt a t hi s visitfell upon his astonished ear. " W cicome," thought th e co ll ector, " w h y, i t i s a mos t rare thing certainly to be received in thi s j o yful manner, but since they are so very willing to part w ith th e i r cash, I shall just be as willing to recelre it. With all due f orm the man of money was ushered into a bed-room, a single glance round which, however, soon convinced hi m th at another more grave professional brother was required. Here was he, indeed, in a peculiarly perplexing predicament, to sheer out of which , as speedily as possible, was his desire. Hi s faithful rade mecum which he had under his arm, howeve r use f u l it mightbe to remind him of the paid and unpaid of his debtors, held within its boards no recipe to enable . him to offi c i a t e i n t h e critical position in which he felt himself. "Hoch," says he to the expectant attendants, " I'm owre land here. You've pushed me into the wrong shop a' the gather. I maun awa'." And off he set, as glad, perhaps, to get away, as those who had asked him in were to get rid of him, seeing that he wa s n ot the man they wanted, and resolved in future to be suspicious of cordial welcomes at doors, when on a money -seeking excursion bound. [To readers who do not understand the languages, as the " slangsmau" said to the lord chancellor, we may say that the tax collector was ad mitted as a supposed accoucheur, and that was certainly a great mistake, titl di, Ji.;.s. REPORTED MURDER OE A RO..IIAN CATHOLIC CLERGYMAN AND THREE LADIES. The following appalling announcement appeared in The Sun of yesterday evening, and produced an unusual degree of excitement in the metropolis. The facts were all so dis tinctly detailed that little room was left to question the accuracy of the report, and one universal feeling of horror was excited wherever the rumour penetrated : " DREADFUL MURDER OF A ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST AND THREE LADIES.- (THIS DAY.) " The most diabolical murder has been perpetrated within three miles of Guildford,at the dwelling of a Roman Catho lic clergyman, Sutton-place. The tragedy, which has only just been discovered, has created an amount of dismay never before equalled in this county, so far as the news has at present spread. It appears that at nine o'clock this morning as the baker's boy, servant 'of Mr. Jay, of that town, was in the act of delivering his bread in the district of Sutton, hiS attention was directed by a milkman to the fact of the latter not being able to get any answer at the house of Father Henry Lea, the priest. Both men then knocked and rang the bell violently for some time, but not being answered, and observing no smoke coming from the chimneys, nor any indication of the servant being astir, they went to the rear of the building and tapped loudly at the washhouse window, with the same result. They then beat violently at the washhouse door and still finding no re ply th ey ra i se d, the latch, whereupon the door opened. Thinking it strange, they entered and made their way to the kitchen, and still finding no one, nor any fire in the grate at that hour, they pursued their way to the parlour. where they became' horri fied at beholding the Rev. Mr. Lee, at full length, face downwards, and his throat cut from ear to ear, and his head bearing marks of dreadful blows having been inflicted, as if from some blunt instrument. Upon this, both men alarmed the neighbours in the retired spot, and, upon further searching the house, they found three young ladies, cousins of Mr, Lea, also dead, with their throats cut in the same way, and other wise beaten about the head as their unhappy relative. Upon going to the servants' bedroom, the old woman was found tied down to the bed, with her mouth gagged and almost dead from suffocation, through the manner in which her mouth was gagged. Upon releasing her she was found to be quite unconscious, and after the arrival of a surgeon, she could only be got to cry out, " Oh l the men, the men." It was too clear that terror had deprived her of reason. The Misses Lea were dead, and all the bodies quite cold. The drawers were all ransacked. The police are on the pre mises. We immediately dispatched a gentleman from the Observer office to the spot, for the purpose of inquiring. into the par ticulars, and we have the satisfaction of stating there is not the slightest foundation for the extraordinary concoction, of which our contemporary has unwittingly been made the dupe. The whole statement, from beginning to end, is a wicked falsehood. Our reporter went up to Sutton-place. and made inquiries on the spot, and also called upon the police authorities at Guildford, and he' has ascertained that nothing has occurred, either in the town or its vicinity, which could form the shadow of a groundwork for this most heartless and unjustifiable report. It may also be stated that the Rev. Mr. Lea had no female relatives at or near Sutton-place, nor even in the country, and the only conceiv able object of the miscreant furnishing the fabrication, in making three young ladies the sojourners at a priest's holm during the night, must have been with a view to throw a doubt upon the morality of the clergyman whose name has been so shamefully used on this .occasion.. ---Observer, of Sa turday. DOVER CLIFFS.—It is proposed to remove 200,000 tons of chalk from these cliffs over Athol-terrace. The Earl of Aberdeen has been suffering from indisposi tion during the last few days, and we regret that the noble earl has not been able to attend at his office. Dispatches were sent off on Saturday evening from the colonial-office to the governors of Australia, Hong. Kong, Malta, Ceylon, Gibraltar, and the Lord High Commis sioner of the lonian Islands. His grace the Duke of Bedford has signified his inten tion of giving his support to the Tavistock and South Devon railway, and to give all the land on his property through which the railway will pass.—Plymouth Mail. The Duke of Buccleuch's and the Marquis of Salisbury's youthful sons, Lard Walter Scott and Lord Eustace Cecil, are both on their passage to India with their respective re giments, the 43d and 52d light infantry. THE ORLEANS PROPERTY.---TWO cases have arrived from Dunkirk for his Royal Highness the Duke D'Aumale, containing articles restored to his Royal Highness by the French government. THE NEW REFORM BILL.—A committee of the Cabinet, says the Daily .il r etes, have for some time been busy with the details of the coming Reform Bill. This committee includes, it is said, Lord John R usse ll, Si r J ames G ra h am, the Duke of Newcastle, and Lord Palmerston. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANY OF IRELAND.—The Hon. Mr. Massey has left Belfast for England, and the pro ject on the part of the company to lay down telegraphic communication between this country and Scotland is for the present abandoned.—Northern Whig. GREAT FOG IN BELFAST.—On Friday night last, and dur ing the early part of Saturday morning, a dense fog prevailed in Belfast, so dense indeed, that the several steamers appointed to sail from the port that night (including the Glasgow mail steamer) had not left on their voyage at the time of our going to press.—Northern Whig of Saturday. THE WESTERN FISHERIES.—Vast quantities of herrings and pilchards continue to be caught on various parts of the coasts of Devon and Cornwall. On the opposite side of the coast, between Teignmouth and Dawlish, it is computed that no less than 200,000 were enclosed in one day. THE WEST INDIA AND MEXICAN MAILS.--SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY.—The royal mail company's steam-ship Solent, Captain Jellicoe, left this afternoon with the usual monthly West India and Mexican mails. She had on board 120 passengers, amongst whom are Sir W. Th omas , Viscomt e de la Motte, Captain Arbuthnot, Dr. Rohrbach, and Don A. Mao. Her specie amounted to 14,0001., and she had besides some general cargo. A TROUBLESOME CUSTOMER.—A drunken, disorderly character, named Charles Cumming, who received six sue c( ssive terms of imp innment of a month each during the last year, for disorderly conduct, was, on Tuesday, again sent to goal for a month, for severely kicking constable Murphy (of the constabulary), and constable Crea (of the local force), while in a drunken state.—Northern TfPhig AUDACIOUS It )13IIERY.—At the Belfast police-court, on Friday, a young thief, named Archibald M‘Fadden, was brought up, charged with picking the pocket of Mr. Adam Hill, the superintendent of the local force ! The expert young rascal, after several attempts on the person of Mr. Hill, succeeded, at last, in depriving him of his pocket handkerchief on Wednesday. CARDINAL WISEMAN.—The Cardinal has met with an accident since his arrival in Rome, which has caused him some inconvenience. The fore legs of a chair on which his eminence was sitting gave way, and threw him upon the ground. There appears a letter from the Rev. Canon Oake ley, in the Tablet of Saturday, stating that the cardinal will leave Rome for home - immediately after transacting the business on which he went thither, and on which he had consulted with his chapter before his departure. THE EARL OF STAMFORD ASSAULTED. BY POACHERS.— On the evening of Tuesday last the Earl of Stamford, while walking alone in the neighbourhood of his seat, Enville hall, near Stourbridge heard voices in one of his pre serves , i nto which his lordship , immediately walked, and found three poachers, who made off on his approach in double-quick time. His lordship pursued and caught one of the fellows by the collar, but was immediately brought to the ground by a heavy blow on the back of his head, which stunned him for a the fellows availed themselves to get clear off. His lordship, on recovering nimseii, lliauaDca to get into the road again, but was so disabled from the effects of the blow that he was obliged to go into a cottage, and send for a carriage to take him home. DEATH FROM THE ABUSE OF LAUDANUM.—Mr. IL Jackson, coroner, held an inouw 0 ,, T6ursaay, in Carrick fergus, on the_hrl7 ~r Luc illegitimate ma l e c hild o f a g i r l _tam Bradley, residing at Clippertown, near Carrick fergus—death being attributed to the effects of a quantity of laudanum administered to the child on Tuesday last by its mother. She had been, it appeared, in the habit of administering the drug to the child, and whereas the doctor had directed she should only give one drop, she gave between thirty and forty. The jury considered the mother had acted very wrongly, but without any evil intention, and returned a verdict of " death by misadventure." Some of the jurors, who retail laudauum, stated that parties frequently came into their shops and swallowed laudanum in spoonfuls. Dr. Forsyth remarked, the medic 11 men are aware of the alarming extent to which laudanum was used in the locality, but their influence was not able to check it ; and he hoped the present case would operate as a warning, both as re garded children and adults. PUNISHMENT or SHIP DESERTION.—This offence seems on the increase. In the journals of the respective towns on Saturday, we find the following cases, the first occurring in Rothesay, the other in Belfast :—On Monday last, three sailors, of the respective names of Johnson, Henry, and Mead, who had been engaged to proceed in the Trelawny on a voyage to Jamaica, were brought before Bailie Brown, in Rothesay, charged with refusi ng , t o d o d uty,or to proceed on the voyage. Their grounds of refusal were, first a complaint as to the quality of provisions, but they afterwards shifted their ground, and alleged that the ship was not seaworthy. Both were found to be untenable, and they were sentenced each to four weeks' imprisonment in Rothesay gaol with hard labour. In the other case, two seamen, named Robert Bain and John Thomas, refused to continue their work, since Wednesday, on boad the ship, Aliester, Captain Anderson, at present windbound in this port. The reason they assigned for their re f usa l t o carr y out their cont rac t was , that the ship was not seaworthy, and that their beds were in a wet state from the influx of the sea. They expressed their {corn pltee satisfaction with the captain and officers of the ship, but refused to proceod with the vessel on her voyage. They were brought up at the police-court yesterday, and Mr. Fenton, the presiding magistrate, after hearing the above facts, and Captain Anderson's refusal to take the men again on board the ship, said that whatever complaints they wished to prefer against the vessel would have been heard, and, if necessary, rectified by the emigration officer, but they must go to gaol for one month, fo: the improper course they had taken. TRADE AND NAVIGATION RETURNS. The official trade and navigation returns for the month end ing Nov. 5, have been issued. The declared value of some of the principal exports, com pared with that for the same articles during the correspond ing month of last year, was as follows 1852. - 1853.

SCOTCH UNIVERSITIES.—The Scotch claim to have representations for their universities under the new Reform Bill. PRUSSIAN RAILWAY.-A letter from Berlin says : The government is at present having carriages o f th e f ourt h class built for all the railway lines in order to have pas sengers carried at the charge of 2 groschen and a half (28 centimes) per mile (about four miles English.) This mea- Sure is altogether in the interest of the poorer classes, the present charge on the Prussian railways being double that sum. THE SMITHFIELD CATTLE Snow.—His Royal Highness Prince Albert will, as usual, be an extensive competitor in the cattle and pig classes ; and it is stated that Sir Harry Verney, Claydon-house, has entered for exhibition an ox of Brobdignagian proportions ; while some of the finest speci mens of Earl Ducie's remaining stock have been selected for competition. The judges will make their awards this day, and in the evening the private view, will take place prior to the opening of the show to the public to morrow. EARL FITZWILLIAM'S ANNUAL FAT STOCK. SALE.— This important and extensive sale of fat stock took place at the farm at Wentworth Woodhouse, near the Yorkshire seat of the noble earl, on Thursday. The bidding was so spirited that in about half-an-hour the whole were disposed of. A pen of five half-bred Southdown wethers was knocked down to a Mr. Ellis, at 60s. per head ; and another pen of the same number at 50s. per head. The other pens ranged from 395. to 48s. per head. Of the gross number of sheep, 300, the average was 425. 6d. per head. Two much-admired stall fed heifers were knocked down, one for £37 10s. the other for £35 ss. All the rest fetched prices varying from £l6 to £25. TIIM RUSSIAN STEAM-FRIGATE WLADIMIR.—We no ticed on Saturday the contradictory statements from Bucharest and Constantinople respecting the capture of the Wladimir, a Russian man-of-war. The Wladimir is one of the finest and most powerful steam-frigates the Russians possess. She was built by Mare and Co., of Blackwell, a few years since, ostensibly as a yacht for the Emperor; but a visit to the ship soon dissipated the notion that she was anything but a substantial man-of-war; and, although she had not any guns mounted, she nevertheless had a full arma ment of 08 pounders, with carriages, &c., stowed on board. She is 1,200 tons measurement, and engines of 400 horse power, by Rennie. PRICE of CORN IN FRANCE.—The Moniteter publishes the official monthly returns of the price of corn in the pin cipail markets in France. The highest price is 32f. 70c. per hectolitre, in those of Bergues, Arras, Roye, Soissons, Paris, and Rouen ; and the lowest 27f. 33c., in those of Saint-Lo, Paimpol, Quimper, Hennebon, and Nantes. The average for the whole of France is 29f. 97c., being a rise of 2f. sc. on the last return. In consequence of Vie dearness of provisions the directors of the Rouen, Havre, and'Dieppe railways have decided that until further orders a monthly allowance shall be made to employes whose sala ries do not exceed 1,500 f., and to unmarried ones with sa laries under 1,200 f., in order to bring down the price of their bread to 35c. the kilogramme. MANSLAUGHTER RY RUSSIAN SAILORS AT DEPTFORD.— On Friday night an inquest was concluded by Mr. Payne, at Guy's Hospital, . respecting the death of Thomas Brosna han, which occurred at Deptford on the 22d ult., and, as was alleged, was caused during a scuffle with three Russian seamen. The evidence went to prove that on the night of Tuesday week some men were fighting near Deptford Dock - yard, one of whom was the deceased. Two women were in their company, and were near them at the time of the fight. Brosnahan received a stab with a knife, which caused his death. A man named Sullivan also received a stab during the scuffle. The jury returned a verdict of manslaughter against Henri Gustaff Brunel, Andreas Alkola, and Eri Gustaff Khronolmer • and they were committed for trial at the next session of the Central Criminal CoUrt. ACCIDENT ON THE MIDLAND RAILWAY. —Au accident occurred on that part of the Midland Railway between Nor manton and Leeds, on Weduesday afternoon, which proved an obstruction to the working of the line for hours, and which might have resulted in serious effects. A luggage train, which left Normanton, had arrived at the Meilley station of the line, when the spindle-rod connected with the valve snapped in the centre, and stopped the progress of the locomotive. At a quarter to four o'clock the 3.25 pas senger train from Wakefield came up with the disabled train, and was obliged to pull up in the rear until some reparage could be made. While still engaged in this work there came up in quick succession a luggage-train from Normanton, two coal trains, and the Midland train from London to Leeds, which leaves Derby at 12.40 p.m. All these were obliged to pull up in the rear of the disabled train. The scene now became an exciting one, and as the shades of night were beginning to fall, an anxious look-out was kept for trains due, which might be coming up at the usual speed, and thus come into collision with the trains brought to a stand still. The obstructing luggage train and its dis abled engine were not cleared off the line until some hours had elapsed, and the over-due trains then proceeded on their journey. Nfvvrnr AV —The baoue Meridian left Gravesend on the 4th of June last, with cabin passengers, steerage passengers, and a valuable cargo, for Sydney, New South Wales. Sho WWI a- very fine vessel of her class, A 1 at Lloyd's for thirteen years, and only a year old. On the night of the 23rd of August, a heavy gale sprung up, and the captain altered his course, and bore up for the island of Amsterdam instead of St. Paul's, which he wished to sight, in order to correct an error which he imagined might exist in his chronometer. The gale increased the next day, and the weather was very thick, but the course steered E. by S. enabled the vessel to go freely before the wind. A few minutes before seven o'clock a sea struck the vessel, and par tially inundated the 'tween decks, after which -the captain ordered the course to be altered to E. About 7 p.m., the ship struck on the island of Amsterdam. The captain, upon the first alarm, rushed up the poop stairs, and was swept off by a sea almost immediately afterwardi. The situation of the second cabin passengers was distressing in the extreme. Almost as soon as the ship struck, large quantities of water poured down the hatchways, and the cabins on the lee side of the 'tween decks filled so fast, that it was with the utmost difficulty that the passengers got over to the 'starboard side, where they remained for more than two hours up to their waists in water, and many of them having no other covering than their night cloth es . Th e vessel parted in two at the after hatchway. The poop, however, remained entire, and afforded some kind of shel ter to the majority of the passengers, till it was deemed safe to attempt a passage to the shore. This was safely effected by six o'clock on the following morning. For two nights the men and most of the women and children lay down on the bare rocks, with no other covering than the clothes in which they stood upright, but providentially they had been supplied as soon as they landed with abundance of new flannel and red and blue serge shirts, which formed part of the cargo, and were cast on shore. On the third day after the wreck a general move was made to a point about a third of a mile distant from the Wreck, where it had been found practicable to ascend the cliff, on the top of which an encampment was formed, and a signal post erected, with two red shirts and some yards of white flan nel to serve as a flag. Most happily for all, on Monday, Sept, 5, when there was only cabbage enousrh remaining for a single day, and water was only procurable at the distance of a mile, a distance which it was impossible for many of them in their exhausted and emaciated state to have walked, they were taken of by Captain Ludlow of the American barque Monmouth. On board of this vessel they received every attention that a large-hearted benevolence could sug gest, and they reached Mauritius just three weeks after they had h,een . rescued from a triple death by drowning, cold, and starvation. THE NORTHERN DAILY TIMES. IRELAND [FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ZIU N, SATURDAY. • BREACH OF CONTZACT. Anderson v. the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company. This case came on in the - Common Pleas yester day. It was an action of assumpsit, brought by Henry Anderson, the well-known horse-dealer, carrying, on business in this city, to. recover com pensation from the defendants, the Chester and Hclyhead Railway Company*, for an alleged breach of contract, 1,)37 - which he. complained of having sus tained considerable damage through the injury of fifteen horses,which they contracted to carry within a specified time from Dublin to Chester. . Fitzgibbon stated the case, which was briefly as follows :—lt appeared that in the month of February last, the plaintiff having formed the invention of bringing some valuable . horses from this country to the fair of Shrewsbury, which was held on the Ist of March, went to the office of the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company on the Nfirth-wall in this city,. and entered into an agree mant with them to convey 15 horses for him from Dublin to Holyhead by one of their , boats, the "Roscommon,". on the night of the 28th of February, and on to Chester the following morn ing by the nine o'clock train. The plaintiff said it was absolutely necessary that his horses should go by that steamer and by that train, and on the terms that they were to be conveyed by them .he paid 171. 10s. for their conveyance, and on paying it told the company's clerk to take care and have horse boxes ready on their arrival at Holyhead. This occurred early on the day that the horses left Ireland : but on Mr. Anderson's arrival in Holy head with the horses, he found that there were no boxes ready for him to go on with his horses by the nine o'clock a.m. train, nor were there any to . be had until the seven o'clock pan. train, the result of which was that he did •not reach Shrewsbury until four o'clock on the morning of the fair, when it .was found that the horses, which were very valuable (and varied in price from 301. to 601.), were all more or less deteriorated from fatigue, &c., and were, consequently, not in good saleable order. The alleged deterioration in the value of the horses was considerable, and the loss sustained the plaintiff 'was from 1001. to 2001. at the very lowest calculation. Mr. Anderson was examined, and deposed to the several facts stated by dounsel. Several other witnesses were examined to corroborate him. Mr. Brereton addressed the jury for the defendants. He contended that the railway company never undertook -to convey those horses except on the usual terms they convey everything, which was " subject to unavoidable accidents and delays " They, rio doubt, were paid for carrying . Mr. - Ander son's horses, and would have sent them on by the nine o'clock a.m. train on the 29th of February if they could, but they had not the means. A special contract was relied on to convey them by that particular train ; but he (Mr. Brereton) was in structed that no such contract was ever entered into ; and the receipt giVen to the plaintiff for, the money he paid stated on the back of it the condition upon which they relied for a verdict, namely, that they conveyed them subject to accidental delays. The case was then adjourned to this day, when Messrs. Binger, Massingberd, Jones, and other officials of the company were examined 'for the defence. The case had not concluded up to that hour. . KELLY V. BIRCH.—EMBEZZLEINMNP.—This case came to a rather untimely conclusion in the Queen's Bench. yesterday. Counsel for the plaintiff . re quested to have the case postponed, on account of Mr. Murphy, a material witness, being absent in London. He had gone there to secure the attendance of some others also, as soon as the prosecutrix knew that the trial was fixed for that day. The Chief Justice refused the application, unless the applicant would pay the costs of the day. On this being declined, the court said it was evident that it was all a sham, and insisted that the trial should be proceeeed with. No evidence was then offered against the traverser, and he was acquitted. You may possibly understand the meaning of this when it is stated that in the Chancery proceedings Birch hes filed an affidavit, in which he says that he believes himself to be the , son of Mrs. Kelly. The whole affair is now in course of compromise. CROTTY v. DOWLING --The circumstances con nected with this case were again the subject of ar gument in the Consolidated Chamber yesterday. It appeared in the course. of a very lengthened dis cussion, that prior to the month of March, 1852, the plaintiff had drawn two bills on the defendant for his accommodation, both for £350, which were discounted in the Carlow branch of the Tipperary bank, and subsequently renewed. The plaintiff was security to the bank for these bills ; the de fendant executed a bond and warrant of attorney to the plaintiff, and he (plaintiff) promised that as soon as the bills were handed to him he would sa tisfy the judgment. In the month of July, 1852, the defendant was, according to his allegation, waited upon by the plaintiff and others, to solicit his vote for Mr. Sadleir, M.P., at the election for Carlow, promising, as the defendant alleged, re newals of his bills in the bank; this the defendant refused to do, and said he would vote for the other candidate. Mr. Edward Lawlor, who, it ap peared, was entrusted with the confidential business of Mr. Sadlier, brought from Dublin a writ of ex ecution, directed to the sheriff of Carlow, at the suit of Daniel Crotty, and on foot of the bond and judg ment on this writ the defendant was arrested, On the 23d of August the defendant was discharged from that arrest by Judge Crompton. The case now came before the Court of Exchequer an a mo tion to discharge the defendant on a secend execu tion, on the grounds that he could not be arrested twice on foot for one judgment, and that . the parties opposed to him had been influenced by.the illegal and unconstitutional motives of depriving him of his right to vote at the election. The case was discussed on both sides with much ability,and as the subject partook of a political aspect the auditory was in a great measure composed • of persons who might be supposed to be attracted by such proceedings. The court did not pronounce any opinion upon the question, but directed an issue to the jury to try certain questions of fact which will be arranged by counsel on both sides. The case, it is understood, will come on for trial at the after. sittings before the Chief Baron, and will be tried by a special jury ; Dowling being plaintiff and Lawlor defendant. Pending those proceedings, a the arguments and reference to the affidavits read on the motion, might have the effect of prejudicing the minds of the jurors who will try the case, and was prohibited by the court. IMPORTANT RAILWAY CASE.-The Court of Chan cery was occupied during the whole of yesterday. with the petition of Turner v. the Belfast Junction Railway. The question for argument was, whether a railway company, after proving in bankruptcy for the amount of calls due to them on• shares, calls made before the bankruptcy •of the owner of the shares, and after receiving payment of the dividend in the bankruptcy matter on those shares, could insist, as against the assignee, upon being paid the difference between the amount of the - calls and of the dividend, and in default of such payment, hold the shares as forfeited. The facts of the case upon which the - foregoing question arose were as follow: —lt appeared that a Mr, Higginson, of Liverpool, the owner of a large number of shares in the rail way company, having become a bankrupt, when three or four calls were due on his shares, the respondents came - into the Court of Bankruptcy with his other creditors, and proved for the amount of their demand, which was a large one, and were subsequently paid the dividend they were entitled to, amounting to £1,300: A.,cOnsiderable tiMehav ing then elapsed, and the company's shares having risen in value, the petitioner, as the assignee of Mr. Higginson, tendered the full amount of - the calls which accrued due subsequent to the bankruptcy, and claimed to be entitled to the value of the shares, whatever they were worth ; but the respondents de clined to accept the tender, unless they were .also paid a sum of £4,000 to £5,000 in addition, being the difference between the amount of the dividend paid to them, and the amount of the calls due prior to the bankruptcy. The case stands for Sudginent. Major-General MacDonald, who made himself so remarkable during the insurrection of '4B, met with an accident on Friday, whilst out with the Kilkenny hounds, which threatens to result fatally. His leg has been.broken in two places, and being a man very much advanced in years, it is hardly hoped that he will recover. The inquest on the body of Moylan, the man killed in the late affray at Moate, was brought to a conclusion on Wednesday, when a verdict of man- slaughter was returned against a man named Hoey, the driver of Mr. Magan's cart, by which the de ceased was knocked down and killed. Hoey was admitted to bail. An explosion of gas took place yesterday in Stoney batter, a street at the north-east end of Dublin, which caused serious damage in the neigh bourhood. The pipes had been leaking for some time past, and the ground was opened to staunch them. In doing so, a labourer knocked some sparks out of a stone, which ignited the gas, and the explosion ensued. Sixtpseven panes of glass were broken, some houses otherwise damaged, and several men were knocked down, but not hurt severely, NEw LORD MAYOR or DUBLIN.—Sir Ed ward M'Donnell, chairman of the Great Southern and Western Railway, has been elected Lord Mayor of Dublin for the ensuing year. POLICE COURT.-SATURDAY. STEALING. BUTTER. 7 --A lad who stated his name was William Leach was committed for three months on a charge of stealing . several pounds of butter, the property of a shop keeper living in Netherfield-road North. The woman missed the butter from her shop, and it was found in the possession of the prisoner by the officer. ALLEGED ROBBERY BY A. PROSTITUTE.—Inn Foley, a respectable and decent-looking young female was charged with stealing a sovereign from the person of a man who gave his name Miles Kunden, at a brothel, this morning. The complainant, apparently a respectable man, stated that on the previous evening he had, while walking along the street, became acquainted with the female, whom he accompanied to abrothel, where they had so mething to drink—half a crown's worth of brandy—and then retired. This morning, when he was getting out of bed, he fancied lie saw the female trying to swallow something, upon which he went to his pocket, from which he stated a sovereign had been abstracted. He accused her of taking it, which she at first denied, but upon being threatened to be given into custody, she said she would try to get it for him again, as she had swallowed it. She, in about three minutes produced the sovereign, and re turned it to him. He then gave her into custody. The magistrates expressed their surprise that the complainant could be so credulous as to suppose that a sovereign could pass through the accused in so short a time as three minutes. The complainant assured the bench that it was a fact ; but they not believing the statement, called upon the prisoner for her version of the affair. She denied swallowing the sovereign, and said the complainant had, on the previous night given her, after some little hesitation, 4s. 6d. ; but when he arose this mornig he insisted upon her returning that amount to him, this she refused to do, when he gave her into the custody of the police, charging her with steal ing a sovereign. The magistrates discharged the accused, and the complainant evidently much chagrined that his tale had not been believed, left the court, cutting rather an un enviable figure, after such an exposure. ROBBING THE WORKHOUSE.—A pauper named John Hobson was charged with stealing some gin and whiskey from the stores in the workhouse. It appeared that a por tion of the wall of the store-house had been broken in, as with a battering-ram, and about two gallons and a-half of gin, and a gallon of whiskey had been stolen therefrom. The prisoner had been . seen to drink some of the gin. Committed for twenty-one days. STEALING EGGS.—A lad named John Sing was charged with stealing tour eggs from a stall in St. John's market, for which, the robbery having been clearly proved, he was committed for fourteen days. STEALING A D um—Margaret _Flannagan, an old of fender, was committed for one month, on a charge of steal ing a duck from the same market. A CAB-DRIVER CHARGED WITH RUBBERY.—Abraham Williams, a cab driver, was charged with stealing a gold watch guard and watch, the property of Isaac Benn, a per son who stated that he had recently come to Liverpool, and had taken up his residence at a house in Netherfield-road, North. The complainant stated that he had taken a cab on the previous night, and paid the defendant 3s. before he started. He had been driven about the town for some time, and stopped at the corner of Roscoe-street, when the defendant demanded 3s. of him, which ho refused to pay, when lie forcibly took his guard and watch, saying he should keep them until he got the money. The Magistrate : Were you sober ? Complainant : If I had been sober I. should not have re quired a cab to go home in. Police-officer 367, stated about half-past twelve o'clock, he heard the cry of " Police," and went to the corner, when the prisoner was given into his custody. The cabman stated the defendant, who very drunk, called him into a public house and asked him to drink, after which he engaged him to drive him home. He took him to the place where directed when the complainant, using some dis graceful language, told him to take him to another place. lie drove him about for two hours, and he left the cab at the corner of Roscoe-street, but refused to pay the fare, and he seized hold of him to take him to the Rose-hill police office, when he caught hold of his guard and the watch came with it. He gave him his card when he started. H e would not give his address. He was so drunk that he did not appear to know where he did live. The magistrates dismissed the case, having censured the complainant for the manner he had given his evidence, which led them to believe that he was scarcely sober, and also the cabman, for using such violence. Dock ROBBERY.—James Boardman, an old offender, was committed for one month, on a charge of stealing a piece of iron from the Sandon dock. STEALING .WEARING ATPAREL.—Emma Richardson, a young woman, appeared before the belich, enveloped in something resembling a white sheet, the dress she had on when apprehended having been identified as a part of the property she had stolen, and therefore taken from her, was brought up; charged with a most impudent and wholesale robbery. It appeared that about the 15th day of October last, the prisoner went and engaged apartments at Mrs: Thompson's dressmaking establishment, Danzic-street, hav ing represented that she was about to leave England for Australia in the course of a few days, being only waiting for her cousin, who was barmaid at the Adelphi hotel, and was going to accompany her. From the prisoner's apparent re spectability, and the gentility of her demeanour, Mrs. Thomp son permitted her to tan the apartments, but a few days after she decamped with a very large collection of wearing apparel, including shawls, dresses, and linen ; and nothing further was heard of her until that morning, when she was seen. in Whitechapel, and apprehended with one of the dresses upon her person. The dress and another portion of female attire were identified by Mrs.. Thompson and her as sistant, and the magistrate committed the offender for three months' imprisonment. - ROBBERY ON BOARD AN AMERICAN 'VESSEL.—Richard Phillips, an American sailor, was charged with breaking open the chest belonging to one of the crew, and stealing there from a watch and some money. As the offence had been committed a few days after the vessel had left New York, the magistrates had no jurisdiction, and the prisoner was consequently discharged. AN ARTFUL DODGE.—Two Irish youths, named Cooney and Dillon, were , charged with stealing shakings from a vessel in one of the docks. The theft was witnessed by the police-officer. The accused each began to explain their share in the transaction in the true Irish dialect, which the magistrate said he could not understand, and informed them they must talk in English. This they said they could not do, and proceeded as before. There being no owner for the property, the magistra',.; said—You aro Irish; would you, if I let you go this t: , go home to Ireland. This offer was too much for them to resist, when they, in as good English as woo over spoken, assured the magistrate they would, and were sent down to the office to be taken home. ASSAULT.—Peter Casselby, a lazy, dissipated-looking fel low, was committed for two months' imprisonment for a most unprovoked and violent assault upon his wife. - - ROBBERY. —Two lads, who, it would appear, are per fectly irreclaimable, named Andrew Frame and Michael .Flinn, were charged with stealing a goose from St. John's Market. The two lads were, just previous to the robbery, discharged by the magistrate before whom they were then brought ; no person appearing to prosecute them, they were committed for fourteen days, and each to be well whipped. SLIDING ON THE LANDING-STAGE.—TWO men, named Richard Tasker and Richard Groom, residing at St. Ann street, Birkenhead, were each fined ss. for sliding on the landing-stage at two o'clock on the morning of the 27th ult. There was a very thick fog at the time, and as the stage. was very slippy from the keen frost, the acts of the defendants were calculated to render the place still more dangerous. SMUGGLING.—Jaines M Carney, fireman on board the steamer " Times," was fined 215., or, in default of pay ment, committed for 21 days, for smuggling half a gallon of whisley. The prisoner was detected in passing through the Clarence dock by officer Walsh. The whiskey, which was contained in a bladder hid beneath the prisoner's shirt, was 20 per cent. over proof. Informations were returned against Patrick Hand for stabbing Margaret Simms, lodging-house keeper.
