The chair was occupied b y Joseph C. Ewart, Esq., M.P., c h a i rman of the company, sad there was a large attendance of shareholders. The Chairman briefly stated the object of the meeting, sad he proceeded to read the terras of proposed amalga- Il lation agreed to and signed, by the duly authorised yepre- Ilentatives of the board of directors of both companies, at M anchester, on the 23rd September, These terms, which tWere unanimously agreed to by the directors of both corn allies, were ; first, that an act of parliament, if necessary, the apivied for to carry out the amalgamation, the union of thtwo companies to date from January 1, l 857 secondly, at for three years the share capital of the English and 111811 Magnetic Company sh a ll d raw , as a fi rst charge on :,;f:t net profits, a dividend cf 5 per cent.—that after that the British Company shall draw a dividend not to exceed 4 per tent, for the first year, 4i per cent. fof the second, and 5 t t Cent, for th e thi r d year. the balance to be divided tthir dly, the two, and after th e th ree y ears equa li ty; an d , -41 . 411 y, that the chief offices and central management of the red company shall be at Liverpool. The Chairman, , ti ving read the terms, urged that they were such that the ,l e eting should have no hesitation in accepting. By the ~,— mal gernatiou a considerable saving would be effected in the i. : na= 7 ,einent, the lines of both companies running . n . ow side I } l ' side through many districts, and, in addition, the a petic Company would get share of the Continental unsiness now possessed by the British Telegraph Company, t ,, 1.101 1 was very considerable. In conclusion he moved that me terms be accepted, and that the amalgam a tion be carried tut. Mr.r. Christophe r J ones secon d e d the motion. Jeery ght they had not ni,arrnation beforeff them t t h o ou enable the meeting to sufficient come at ° nee to a decision on a matter of such importance. It trpeared to him to be a very large affair, indeed, and, in e absence o f th e i nformation he would desire, he did not r Wel l know now to deal in regard to the motion. Th e o th er o t° Pany might be in a good condition or a b a d con diti on , Zr aught he knew, but whether it was better for both to go ia . 5 they were at present, and for the Magnetic Company i'Ye-and.by to buy th e ot h er li ne, he was at that moment ; 11 ,, ea Mpetent to give an opini on . H e , therefore, thought a t the meeting should b e a dj ourne d f or a f ew days, and It the d ocument rea d b y t h e c h a i rman should be placed in „ hands o f every propr i etor, to enable them to come to a tght conclusion in the matter. The Ch a i rman replied that be would not urge the meet tha u g t to adopt the terms of amalamaon if he did not believe the arrangement would be an exceedingly valuable one t d? t heta. He would be, th ere f ore , sorry i f the shareholders id anything which could upset it. A Zr Genrge Maxwell asked if this was the only company %eh had r i va l li nes ? t n i he Chairman replied in the negati ve . T he E lectric " 1 1 4 ° Party had rival li nes ? r• Maxwell : What is the capital of the company that " 4, rprooose to amalgam a t e w i t h ? The Chair man : £30 0,000. fir . Maxwell : What di diejha /1. v :ictend does it pay ? `'nairman : 4 nee cent. They have many conti nen t a l Dm, l th e bust es ,- of which alone would enable them to 14 th a , vi s lerl .., and by the amalgamation we will participate - nusine , s. The chairman further stated, in answer Air. Maxwell, that the British Telegraph Company had b , 11 ,e 3 to Leeds and York, and other places in England, tv g ere they (the Magnetic Company) did not go, and that it a l s c also an elder c)mpany, dating trom 1851. Or. Jeffery again repeated his arguments in favour of a 4 1 ef delay. He declared that he was not opposed to an t'algation, but that he would like to understand the cha -4e,,te," and prospective working of it better than he now did. t h e Chairman reminded Mr. Jeffery that they had 5 per Bpd"' secured to them for three years, and that the dividend red to the other company (4 per cent.) was now made s av t Paid by themselves. In the expenses there would be a p ah g of something likeand the Magnetic Com. v, ll `l would, also, get a connection with the Continent, 141 1 they had not. _ now parit,r• Sandbach asked if it were time to give notice for a , rl a taentary act? v ta iaa Chairman replied that there was, but that this week 1 4the last for giving notices. r• Chapman considered that by the amalgamation they make two indifferent companies into a very strong ae - c iP ' a nY.

A special meeting of the trustees of the Southern Hospi tal was held at two o' clock, yesterday, in the Clarendon rooms, South John street, for tht purpose of considering the revised rules of the instittition. In the absence of Mr. Ingram, the president, the chair was occupied by Mr. J. Farnworth. Amorg the other gentlemen present were Dr Petrie, Dr. Cameron, Dr. Minshall, H. Hatheftd, Mr. Fletcher, Rev. - Robers, John Aikin ---- Barry, John Rodgers, Harmood Banner, R. L. Jones/James Houghton, C. E. Rawlins, and D. Clarke, The Chairman, in opening the meeting, said, that in the spring of the year some differentte axon respecting the construction of some or their laws, and it was therefore thought propel so to revise the rules, that in future no misconception or misapprehension could arise. A very lengthened correspondence took place on the subject, but eventually the committee gave way, in deference to the medical gentlemen on whom th e we lf are of the institution so much depended, and to whom it was so largely indebted. Many of the alterations in the old rules were merely verbal. The most important change was in the 19th rule, wherein it was proposed that the term of servics of the hon orary medical officers should be ten years, instead of fifteen years. Dr. Petrie strongly obiectcd to this alteration, on the ground that they would be getting rid of an officer at the very time, from a thorough knowledge of hospital practice, he would be most serviceable to the institution. He moved, as an amendment, that the term be fifteen years, as before. Dr. Minshull seconded the amendment. The Rev. Mr. Roberts replied that when they elected honorary medical officers, it was thought that they elected men qualified to discharge the duties of the hospital, and net men who sought the office for the purpose of improving themselves. He should, therefore, oppose the amendment. The amendment was lost by a large majority. Dr. Cameron was then about to move that the mode of election be in conformity with the recommendation of the medical faculty of Liverpool, but refrained from doing so on the understanding that a special meeting would be called at an early day to consider the matter. The other rules were then read and confirmed, after which the meeting separated. SUPPOSED ROBBERY OF £4OO WORTH OF JEWELS. I CAETHItt OF ALLEGED THIEVES TN LIVERPOOL—On Monday night, detective Laycock ati acetic and intelli gent officer, (assisted by Smith, of the same body), made a discovery and a cs.p - thro that will p ro b a bly l ea d to i mportant results. The sagacity of Laycock in the affair proves that he is entitled to notice, as he has on this, as on several other occasions, proved quite successful in his captures. The facts of this case are somewhat singular. On itionday night the officer was passing along Whlte'.simpel, when he observed a young fellow named William Duggan enter a jewellers shop; he suspected. sit Was not right, and when the person (whom he had not previously known) left, he sent Smith into the shop to ask what the fellow was doing He was informed that he had offered some things for sale, but no purchase was made. The officers then watched the prisoner to several places, and finally into a house in Standish street, off Marybone, where he entered a front parlour, and was immediately joined by another person and a female. After some eonVerbation, and froth what the officers saw, they entered the room and arrested the prisoners. The suspicions of the officers were more than confirmed ; for, in the apartment, they got an ordinary sited trunk nearly full of property, to the t , alue of about £lOO. This consisted of gold keys, pencil cases, brooches, rings, lockets, and chains; silver pencil cases, chains, and rings; gold earrings, and, in fact, a large . qnantity of jewelle ry, of almost every sort ; silver forks, and other things, to the amount of about £3OO, together with strings of coral to the value of about £lOO more. The second man gave his name as James Thompson, and the woman as Anne Smith, They said they purchased the property at Bristol, but they could not tell from whom. They were then locked op, and the property taken to the station.house. Yesterday morning, the prisoners were brought up before Mr. Andersen, at the police , . court, when Mr. Biuck appeared for Thompson and Smith; Duggan was not defended. Smith, the detective, was ex amined, and stated generally, the above facts ; and said, he found £7 Os. in money, on Thompson, who could not render any account of how he came by it, nor of the property now pro duced. Here the trunk was produced and theproperty exhibited, and amongst the articles were a large number of silver thim bles, along with that already mentioned ; the quantity yf all would make up a handsome stock for a shopkeeper. Laycock gave evidence to the effect stated in the narrative of the case. In reply to Mr. Bluck, the officer (Laycock) said, he had not yet heard of a great jewel robbery ; btu. that he had no doubt he would soon hear of one. (Laughter.) Mr. Clough I have heard of one this mot Bing. Mr. Bluck Where Mr. Clough : In Edinburgh ;we got the news this morning. Mr. Bluck (to Laycock) : Do you k now i f my clients were hpr. ? Mr. Larco:l. ; I tin not know that man has been here before. Campbell, the bridewell keeper, said he would inform Mr. Bluck that his clients were not known at the court. Mr. Bluck : I know it is the duty of Mr. Clough to ask for a remand ; and, in this stage of the proceedings, I shall not oppose it, except to ask for the dis charge of my clients. Mr. Anderson : I think the case a very serious one ; hero is a large quantity of property unac counted for, and it can't be possible that these persons have purchased it. I will, therefore, remand them. The prisoners were then remand e d, t h e pr i soner D uggan say i ng he knew I nothing of the property at all RUFFIANLY ASSAULT ON A FEMALE. Michael Fitzgibbon, an ill-looking old fellow, was placed at the bar before Mr. Beadon, at Marlborough -street, charged with violently assaulting an elderly woman named Jane France. The prosecutrix, whose head was bandaged up, stated that she was on her way home on Saturday night, about half-past twelve, and when in Oxford-street the prisoner stopped her and asked her if she knew where he could get some drink. She told him the public-houses were closed, and he then invited her to take coffee with him. She accepted his invitation, and after leaving the coffee-house he made a very improper proposal to her, which she indignantly rejected. The prisoner then struck her a dreadful blow between the eyes, knocked her down, and immediately ran off. Police -constable 202 C said, about half-past twelve, on Saturday night, he saw the complainant and the prisoner standing together, in conversation, and all at once the prisoner struck the woman on the head and felled her to the ground. She fell with the back of her head against the kerb, and broke her comb, several of the teeth of which entered her head. Witness took him into custody, and the woman was taken to the hospital, where her wounds were dressed. The prisoner, in defence, said he was very drunk at the time, and having an idea that the woman had robbed him he knocked her down. Mr. Beadon said that was a most lame defence to such a charge. The prisoner had been guilty of a violent assault upon a defenceless woman, and he should, therefore, commit him to the House of Correction fur one month, with hard labour. ATROCIOUS MURDER. On Sunday last, while Thos. and John Maxwell, miners, were on their way home to Durham Town, a newly-erected village near Bathgate, Linlithgowshire, they were attacked by two men, named Peter M'Lean and Wm. Mansfield, also miners, assisted by M'Lean's wife and daughter. Thos. Maxwell, who was found dead on the road, was stabbed to the heart several times with a knife, and hie body otherwise fearfully cut and mutilated, there being no less than seven wounds inflicted upon him. The other brother was also stabbed and severely wounded. The murder is the more alarming from the cool and permeditated manner in which it was committed. It is reported that M'Lean purchased a knife for the purpose of committing murder upon one of the brothers Maxwell. The same criminal is also said to have stated that he has not got satisfaction, because he had not murdered the brother he intended. It seems that there had been some dispnte between the parties, who lived in adjacent houses, on the subject of religion—the brothers being Roman Catholics and the other parties Orangemen. On the information of the young man who survived, the police officers proceeded to apprehend the murderers. It is said that the officers found the men in the very act of washing the blood from their hands. With the aid of their neigh bours, one of whom was knocked down by the woman, all of them were apprehended and lodged iu Linlithgow gaol. The Maxwells and the other party in custody are all Irish. They had all been indulging freely in drink. Gt 'TING CHLOROFORM TO PlGS.—Berlin thieves begin to exhibit great refinement in their mode of proceeding. Some of them having a mind to the two fat pigs of a householder at Moabit, introduced themselves into the sty ; and, in order to secure themselves f rom b eing betrayed by the squeals of their victims, chloroformed both, and then quietly:proceeded to slay and cut them up.

THE NO4THERN TIMES. --LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY. POLICE INTELLIGENCE LIVER POOL (BEFOTIEI4R.ADTEN.) TWO 13IRDS AND A PAIR or TORTOISE.-Michael Ennis, William Cooper, and Eliza Jones, were charged with having assaulted police constable No. 442. The prisoner Ennis was described as the field-marshal of a gang of the greatest ruffians in Liverpool, and from his appearance he certainly deserved to occupy the " post of honour" assigned him. The F;omplainant said he saw the prisoners quw - relling in the street, and Oh attempt ing to put them away, they flung him into a cellar, and nearly broke the most precious part in his body, namely, his neck. The prisoner said it was all about two birds and a couple of tortoiFe, that Cooper had brought home from " foreign" parts to present to his friend, the "general " of all the roughs. The "general," who was decidedly the worst of the party, and who had just come out of gaol, was sent back tr) prison for one month, and the other two prisoners for fourteen days each. EXCUSE FOR BEING DRUNK. —A fellow, who stood shivering at the bar, was charged with being drunk and disorderly in Vauxhall-road. The unfortunate fellow seemed to be suffering from the effects of cold and recent drunkenness. In reply to the charge, he said I was going to take the pledge when the constable took me. Mr. Aiken : Going to take the pledge and you drunk ? Prisoner : Yes, sir; and because I was not going to take any more for twelve months, I took a big drink before I gave it up. Let me go this time, and I'll go and take the pledge at once. Mr. Aiken : Very well, go now, and take it, but don't get drunk on the way. Prisoner Oh, never fear me this time; my word is my bond. He was then discharged. SSITGGLING. —Mr. Tyndall appeared on behalf of the Crown, to prosecute Alexander Lanigan, a sailor on board the ship Pelican, with having smuggled 10;-i 165 of foreign tobacco. He only asked for a remand until be could communicate with the board in London. The prisoner Was remanded to Friday. BEFORE PER. AIIbtREON, Calyirxesr TO LETTER CAnntaas.—Thomas Barlow, a letter carrier, who, up to the present tithe, bore ts high character, was charged under the Act of Parliament for delaying to deliver a newspaper, addressed to Mr. Sleigh, 61, Grove-street. It appeared that the prisoner forgot to deliver the paper, and was found reading it at home by the lire. Mr. Anderson said it was a common thing for letter carriers to suppose theke vtls no harm in opening and reading newspapers. This was a serious mistake, and he trusted when this went forth to the public, by means of the press, that letter carriers would be very cautious in future, as they were liable to very severe plinhihinent fdr such an offence. The prisoner was remanded. PLUNDER OF A PASSENGER.—A discharged soldier, whose appearance did not indicate a high degree of intellect, was charged under the following circum stances :—A young cdinaiii, nulled . Bridget Herbert, stated that she was going to Dublin, by one of the beats from the Clarence Dock, having two trunks—one full of wearing apparel. The prisoner was on board, apparently a passenger, and he behaved, as she thought, very kindly, by asking her down to the fire, and taking down one of her trunks to make a seat for her. It appeared that the prisoner then went to the policeman at the gate, and said lie was a passenger, but as the boat was not going out, he requested the officer to direct him to a respectable lodging. He directed him to Dublin- Street, 'hen the the prisoner said he would go arid take his trunk ashore, and in a few moments he returned with the trunk, and as witness had no suspicion, he let him pass. Inspector Mooore met him soon after, with the s o trunk in hi s possession. The case was disposed of r summarily,inerwas as the gaol gir for lwas tn o r b e l e ig m ed on t t o h g s. o away, The p Tionueav of 0 1 0.—A mani named George Holme, who stated that he was a native of British North America, and had returned from Australia in the Lightning, charged a Woman, named Mary Gaynor, keeper of an ineadlouS house in Banastre-street, with having robbed him of eighty sovereigns. He passed the night with another female in the house, and when he awoke in the morning, the woman and his money were gone. He was so drunk at the time that lie could give no information likely to lead to the arrest of the woman with whom he had slept. As the prisoner was not shown to haie had any connection with the robbery beyond being the owner of the house, she was di sc h arge d . STEALI NG BAG-S. —Thomas Murphy, a porter in the employment of Messrs. T r i mmer and Grainger, was charged with stealing a quantity of sacks from a vessel in the Brainley-Moore Dock, of which they were the consignees. Mr. Clough stated that the cargo consisted of 6,660 bags of corn, which were skipped into sacks of four bushels each, and then the empty bags were to be returned to the ship. The bags were then to be counted, for on the number of thrm 4.... t, ,,., or grain for which the master porter would be held respon sible, and any bags missed would be a loss of so much grain. Evidence was given to show that several bags had been secreted by the prisoner. A gentleman from the office of Messrs. Grainger and Trimmer stated that the prisoner had always borne an excellent character, and as the value of the bags was very small, it could only be conjectured that his taking them arose from some mistaken feeling of over-zeal on behalf of his employers, The prisoner was remanded, on the application of Mr. Clough, for seven days. PRESENTATION TO MR. JOHN EVANS, CASHIER OF THE LIVERPOOL CORPORA TION WATER WORKS, RIVINGTON. In consequence of the Completion of the above works, Mr. Evans b e i ng a b out to l eave t hi s district to return to Liverpool, a few of his friends met at the Ridgway Arms Hotel, Horwich, on Saturday evening, the 22nd inst., for the purpdst of presenting him with a memorial of their appreciation of his urbanity and integrity of con duct. Between twenty and thirty gentlemen sat down to an excellent dinner, provided by the worthy host and hostess, Mr. and Mrs. Milner, Jain Dickenson, Esq., occupying the chair, the vice-chair being filled by Mr. James Taylor. The chairman, after the cloth was drawn, gave the customary loyal toasts, and then called upon Mr. Joseph Pollitt, who, in a neat and effective speech, proceeded to eulogise the many excellent qualities of Mr. Evans, and in the name of his Horwich and Rivington friends, presented to that gentleman the testimonial, which consisted of a magnificent chaste gold timepiece, with vase and stand, from the establishment of Mr. Hall, King-street, Manchester. On the stand is a plate bearing an appropriate inscription. Mr. Evans expressed his acknowledgments in feeling and suitable terms. His remarks were highly appreciated, and loudly applauded by the company. Toast, song, and sentiment, followed in succession, and the company separated about eleven o'clock, highly delighted with the evenings proceedings. Mr. Evans carries with him the good wishes of the inhabitants of this neighbourhood, and it will be a source of great gratification to them, to hear of his future welfare. CORRESPONDENT. Horwich, Nov. 24, 1856. THE RE LIGIOUS TRACT SOCIETY A meeting of the friends and supporters of the Liverpool Auxiliary to the London Religious Tract Society was held at half-past six o'clock, last evening, in Hope Hall, Hope street There was a very thin a' tendance. The chair was occupied by Thomas Berry Etorsfall, Esq., M.P., and amour , the other gentlemen preseat were —.Revs. Dr. Raffles, C. 111. Btrrell, W. Hanna, W. Graham, S. M. Saffery, (Parent Society,) &c., &c. After prayer had been offered up by the Rev. Mr. Larcae, The Chairman said : I have very great pleasure in accepting the honour which was proposed to me, in taking the chair this evening, because I am day by day more and more convinced of the great importance of meeting, through the instrumentality of this and kindred societies, that great demand for food for the mind, which is the characteristic of the present day amongst every class of society. I have no hesitation in saying, so far as I am competent to form an opinion, I know of no society more calculated to afford wholesome food than the Religious Tract Society. (Hear, hear.) And, although there aro those here who will address you at length, and state to you the details of the operations of the society, yet I cannot forbear stating, in a few words, my cordial and sincere attachment to the principles of it. (Hear, hear.) I admire its con. stitution—l admire its operations—l admire its catholic principle. There is nothing sectarian in its character, It embraces in its members all those who hold the great truths of the Gospel. From amongst its Members are selected a committee; that committee appoint a sub committee, and no publication is issued by this society which has not received the greatest consideration and attention—(hear, hear)—to avoid anything that could infringe eithet upon the catholic spirit of the society, or that would be at variance with the great doctrines 'of the Gospel. (Hear, bear) I need not tell you of the usefulness of this society. There is hardly a religious association in existence which does not acknowledge the importance of the Religious Tract Society. All our missionary societies are assisted by it— all our schools are assisted by it. It makes grants to seamen, to emigrants, to colonial settlers, and and many others. Put perhaps th ose w h o heed glreii and ean give the best testi ming to the usefulness of the Religious Tract Society, are those who have undertaken the duties of district visiting, and I may add to these the agents of the city mission. It was only last evening that I was conversing with a gentleman who takes a great ihtereet in the London City Mission, I happened to mention to him that I was going to take the chair at the meeting of the tract society tonight. He said, "It is a most important society, and I will just tell you what took place, or rather a remark that was made by one of the City London Missionaries with whom I was Convere sing the other evening," nit district is in the neighbour hood of the Cattle Market, and my friend was rather complaining of his circulating so many tracts. " Why, sir," he said, " I might as well not go at all as go without the tracts—half my usefulness would be g one ." I said there could be tri better testithony of the usefulness of the publications of the Religious Tract Society. (Hear, hear.) It is not my province to take up your time by giving you opinions of my own. I would rather like you to hear the opinions of those who have come to address us this evening, but I must say there is not one colony con nected with this conntry—there is not a country on the face of the earth to which these tracts have not been sent, and from which Sortie evidence df usefulness has not been received. (Hear, hear.) With these few remarks, earnestly commend ing the society to your attention, I would only just observe that there are two blanches of accounts kept by the society —one, I believe, called the sale account, arid the other the free circulation account. The sale account pays its ex penses ; the free circulation account looks to you for support. I earnestly hope, therefore, that you will kindly give your attention to the statements which will now be made to you by those kind friends who have come forward to address us, and hope the result of their labours will be not only an increased collection in behalf of the soeiety, but an increas , ing and continued interest irk promoting its objects. (Ap plause.) From the report, which was read by the Rev, Mr. Graham, it appeared that 700,000 tracts, of the money value of £1,122 ss. 61, were distributed by the Liverpool auxiliary during the past year. The meeting was then addressed by, the Rev. Mr. Lowe, Rev. Mr. Saffery, and Rev. Mr. Richardson, the two gentlemen composing the dvutation. A collection was made in aid of the funds of the society MURDER FROM DISAPPOINTED LOVR.—LEICESTER, Mon day.—This morning, a man named Wedge, a bricklayer's labourer, was hrought before the mayor and sitting magis trates at the town hall, charged with the wilful murder of Eliza Bond, by administering poison to her. It appeared that the prisoner had for some time been paying his addresses to the deceased ; but, a few weeks ago, she gave him notice that his attentions would no longer be acceptable, and the prisoner was supplanted by another party. He then declared ho svoula pvioou the young ',Yuman. r,asc Naturaay evening he Walt in her company, and offered to fetch her a bottle of Scotch ale, to which she consented ; but, immediately after partaking of it, complained of feeling ill, and died the follow ing morning. The circumstances of her death led to suspicion being entertained of poisoning by strychnine, and the priso ner was consequently apprehended. Only the bare facts of the case were given in evidence yesterday morning ; and the prisoner, who denied the charge, was remanded. A coroner's inquest will, however, be held this evening, when medical evidence will be adduced as to the cause of death. tCONTINENTAL CHECKS ON POISONING.—In France the chief safeguard is a restriction upon the sale of all medi cines to properly qualified pharmaciens, who must prove a regular and general standard of proficiency before they receive their license. In Austria all powerful medicines, though not commonly considered as poisons, are marked with a dagger (t) in the Pharmacopoeia, and such medi cines cannot be sold legally without medical authority. Throughout Italy the sale of medicines and poisons is strictly limited to the licensed farmaeista. In Prussia, the smaller German States, and Sweden, the Government exercises a direct control over the manner: in which the pharmacies are conducted and poisons sold. In Switzer land it is one of the functions of the Board of Health to take precautionary measures against the sale of poisons. The wholesale supply of poisonous drirgs and preparations is permitted to properly qualified retailers, but the latter are obliged to keep such substances in a separate part of the premises, and are not allowed to sell them without the written authority of a medical man, a mayor, or a police officer. The name of the purchaser must be entered in a book, and a label must be attached to the poison bottle or paper, stating " the name and quality of the substance, the name:and address of:the vendor, the quantity sold, and the purpose to w hi c h it is to be applied.' The purchaser must sign his name in a book, or have his mark attested, and this register, with the written order for poisons, must be preserved and produced on the requisition of the authorities.--Ifedicca Times and Gazette. IRON LATTICE BRIDGE FOR TETE EAST INDIAN RAIL wAy.—A bridge of a somewhat novel construction is now being made in this country for the East Indian Railway. It is intended to cross the river Soane, one of the tribu. taries of the Ganges, and when completed will be nearly a mile in length. There will be 29 piers, and the span from pier to pier will be 150 feet, being about 26 feet more than the span of the arches of the High Level Bridge at New castle-upon-Tyne, Like that structure, it will consist of two roadways, the upper one for the railway, the lower one for foot passengers and palanquin bearers, the height from the lower to the upper way being 26 feet. The peculiarity of the construction is that the two roadways are fastened together, and 'supported by latticework of wrought iron, combining great strength, with a light and elegant appearance. The bars are of channel iron, and cross each other diagonally, being firmly riveted together at each crossing. One complete arch has just been con structed at the Eli wick Engine Works, Newcastle, by way of experiment, and the result is satisfactory. The entire weight is one hundred and twenty tons. It was made with a slight curve, two inches higher than a dead level, and when tested with a weight of 362 tons, it only went down two inches below the level, or four inches altogether at the centre. The separate lengths or arches will rest at each end on five rollers of cast iron, to allow of expansion and contraction, according to the variations of the temperature. The engineer engaged in the con struction of this bridge is Mr. George Rendel, of London. As soon as the bridge is completed it will be taken to pieces, in order to be shipped, and will be re -constructed in India. SALE OF SLAVES AT NEW ORLEANS.—The .Neta Orleans Bulletin of the 20th October, says :—Passing through the Arcade Saloon, we noticed at one of the auction stands a negro girl up for sale, and around a closely-packed crowd that appeared to be deeply interested in what was going on. Curiosity led us to pause and inquire what was the cause of the apparent excitement. The bids were going on in a spirited manner, and generally at an advance of only 5 dols a bid, and at every bid the eyes of the crowd would quickly turn in the direction whence the bid proceeded, the in. terest and excitement being in the meantime upon the increase. The girl, a bright, intelligent mulatress, about 14 years old, was evidently not indifferent to what was tran spiring. There was a moisture in her eyes, but they assumed an expression which indicated that she felt some anxiety in regard to the result of the sale, which is not generally the case. As the bid reached near a thousand dollars the excitement became intense, and as that figure was called a spontaneous hiss was heard from one end of the room to the other, followed by a vehement shout of " Turn him out !" ‘. Turn him out !" A rush was made for the door ; the hammer had fallen, and the girl also, into the arms of her mother, who had become her purchaser. The explanation of it all was that the woman had been freed by her owner, and had earned money enough to buy her child, the mulatress in question, who, being a very valuable servant, several persons were anxious to obtain her, but they, with one exception, had pledged the mother that they would not bid against her, and they honourably kept th e i r f a i t h . It was the conduct of this one, who was , bidding against the mother, which so excited and ex- ; asperated the crowd on this occasion. The man made good his escape—fortunately so for him, we think, as we heard sundry expressions about lynching, &c., as the crowd came mneh back to o tbaylkthoo joy of over the ha m vi a n t g ter. The mother was so possession of her child th at she Swooned succeeded away, andta ini nags carried out of the salo on . W e may add that the sale was a succession sale, and was not d es i gned to be anything more in retaining than nominal, and nobody intended that the mother should be deprived of her child. COUNTY COURT.—YEsTERDAY BEFORE J. POLLOCK, ESQ. A NEW TRIAL.— EASTTY MARSH. —This action, which was tried on the 14th of October, a verdict was given for the plaintiff, but at the time his Honour expressed an opinion that as there was a nice point of law involved in it, it might constitute a reasonable one for further enquiry. On this day, Mr. Green applied to his Honour to grant a new trial Mr. Hime opposed the application. The plaintiff is an auctioneer, and in the course of his business was employed to sell the household furniture of Mrs. Webster, who kept a public-house in Liverpool. The defendant, with others, attended the sale, and pur chased some of the property. On applying for the goods to be delivered up, the claims against Mrs. Brewster were put forward as payment. To this the plaintiff refused to accede, but it was ultimately agreed that the parties should go to Mrs. Brewster and have the matter settled. Mrs. Brewster acknowledged the validity of the claims; but refused to have the amount deducted from the receipts of the auction, saying that she would settle with them afterwards. The goods were removed, and the action was brought to recover the value of them. After a lengthy legal argument, his Honour said this was one of a class of cases which occur from time to time, and which impressed on his mind the necessity that existed for enabling him to allow an appeal in every case. If an action was brought to recover £l9 19s, there was no provision for an appeal, but if the claim was only for is more, there was the power of appeal. Here was a case which involves the nicest points of law, and a great complication of the rights of parties, and in it there was no right of appeal without at once deciding the case. He suggested that the point should stand over until after the assizes, when he would consult Baron Alderson and his brother judge on the points involved in the case. This suggestion was agreed to. JORDAN V. O'CARROL. —This action was brought to recover a certain amount in connection with the building and cleaning of the Roman Catholic schools in Salisbury street. Mr. Aspinall _expressed a wish to have the matter settled by reference, which was agreed to. HENRICIISON V. TYRER.—This action was brought to recover the sum of £6 18s, on the following grounds of action, for that by indenture, the defendant covenanted with the plaintiff to keep in repair a certain warehouse in Dutton -street. This not having been done, was the cause of the present action. Mr. Hime appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Dodd for the defendant. The several witnesses called for the plaintiff stated, that the ware house was stocked with cotton and corn, and that in th e month of July last, one of the floors gave way, and thirteen or fourteen of the joists were broken. It was also proved that the floor was not over-weighted, but that the timber of which the joists were formed was not fit for use. Mr. Rishton, the building surveyor, gave it as his opinion that the joists were not properly con structed, if they had been, the floor would have bore a much greater weight than was on them when they gave way. For the defence, it was urged that the floor was over -weighted, and witnesses were called to substantiate that view. His Honour gave a verdict for the plaintiff for the amount claimed. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT NEAR WARRINGTON. We regret to announce that an accident, resulting in fatal consequences, took place on Monday at Winwick, near War rington, at about 11 o'clock, on the North Western Railway. The facts as stated to us, from a semiofficial quarter, are as follows :—Th e up north mail train from Preston, when near the place named, by some means, at present unexplained, got off the rails, and ran along for some time, until it partly upset, and we regret to state that the fireman was killed, and the engineer dreadfully, if not fatally, injured. We hear that non e o f t h e passengers were d angerous l y injured, although m uc h s h aken. T h e acc id ent create d great alarm in the locality, and the traffic was interrupted for a con siderable time, GUTTA PERCHA KNAPSACKS. , AR alteration in the soldier's kit has been made in Sweden, which may be termed a decided improvement. The knapsacks are now made of gutta percha, being waterproof and much lighter than those hitherto in use; the men's cloaks are also impervious to the rain, and tents similar to those used by the French army have been furnished to the infantry, besides which the depot companies of the artillery regiments have been transformed into independent 12-pounder foot batteries, with the addition of a 7-inch mortar gun for hollow shot. EXTRAORDINARY ROMANCE. During the inveatigation of the criminal charges at the Birmingham Police Office on Friday, a young man was lying asleep upon one of the benches, in a corner. His appearance exhibited great want, and his hoots and trousers up to his knees were covered with dry mod. He was of very handsome appearance, though the smitten cheeks and prominent eyes betokened a long fasting. fie ware a slight moustache and beard of a fair colour, and his CidtheS were of the best texture and make. At the close of the public business, he stepped forward and sought relief of the presiding magistrate. His tale was a romance. He said he was an American by birth ' but had left that country more than five teats, to travel in carious countries—amongst others, Africa, Turkey, France, &e. He desired to get to Liverpool, where he knew the American consol, and several captains of the Collins' line of steamers, arid he could rely upon the aid of those gentlemen to transport him to his home. He also said he was a gentleman by birth and education, and that he was the Ameri can vice-consul at Marseilles. for ten months. In reply to various questions, he stated that he had been robbed of £2OO in:a cafe in Paris, where he had been staying. He left London without sufficient theans to pay his fare to Liverpool, and intended to foot it; but found that the little money he had was gone too quick. The magistrate then ord e red a constable to show the man to the pariah officers, and ask them to relieve him if they could. The papers in his possession bore many foreign post marks, and some of them were addressed in fine writing to " E. H. Estmanville, Esq., American Vice-Consul, Marseilles. On Thursday night the poor fellow had applied for shelter at the central police station, but Was also there told they "could do nothing for him." He afterward walked about some hours, and ultimately slept in a tub in a yard in Next-street, till the cold and wet drove him to walk again. At the parish offices he got no relief, the law not allowing the distri bution of money for the purpose for which the American sought it, namely, to forward him on to Liverpool. The relieving officer on duty offered him a note for the work house, but that he refused, expressing his determination "to die on the road first," and so left the offices.— Birmingham Daily Press.
