notice we. given him to quit, which it appeared somewhat
annoyed him, and in the evening, u Mr. Wocribridge was
returcing from work, he met the prisoner and his wife on

from the prisoner's ill usage, produced a medical certificate
which stated that she was in a very precarious state.

it appears, to test simple works of this kind,
where the strength of the materials and the
weight to be borne ass tolerably well known before-
hand. Bet after reading the evidence it is difficult
to avoid the conviction, that had tie strength of the
trusses been tested the accident would never have
occurred. Mr. WOODFORD, the engineer of the
works, attributes the breaking of the beam that
first gave way to a sudden strain or jar. "He
" could not account for the breaking, except by
" supposing there had been some jar upon it. It
" was not uncommon for the wheels to climb
" the rails, and when they fell off on to the
" wood there would of course be a jerk. Such an
" occurrence would be more likely when there were
" four wheels than when there were two. There
" was a bruise on the wood, as if from the fiangeof
" a wheel." This view seems in itself very
probable ; and it was corroborated by the tes-
timony of another engineer unconnected with the
works, who had gone over the ground and care-
fully examined the wreck. This gentleman, Mr.
SHERMAN, said :—" He had examined the mate-
" rials of the broken trusses ; they were sound.
" He thought from the drawing that the trusses
" had been constructed on sound principles. The
" moat probable cause of accident was one of the
" trusses getting out of gauge, and thus causing
" one of the wheels of the traveller to slip off the
" rails on to the wood." Mr. Summar; adds, that
such an accident might happen without being fore-
seen. But bad the trusses been properly tested,
this liability to get out of gauge would probably
have showed itself during the trial, and might have
been corrected in time by the use of croes-girders,
or of some other contrivance for strengthen-
ing the trusses and keeping them true.
There seems, however, to have been no perceptible
neglect of ordinary precautions in the case,
nothing certainly amounting to culpable negli-
gence. And no one being really to blame, the
verdict of " Accidental death " was the only one
that could fairly be returned. But the accident
undoubtedly should impress on those who are en-
gaged in the erection of such works the impor-
tance, and, indeed, the necessity, of thoroughly
examining their construction and testing their
strength before subjecting them to a heavy strain.

The conservative politicians have held a meeting
at Rochester to organise the next Presidential
campaign. Their platform opposes BOCOSbIOO, aboli-
tion, or "nativism" of any kind, favours the
suppression of the rebellion, the maintenance of
the Union, the adherenoe to the (wadi-
tution, fidelity to the government, and
opposition to foreign intervention. They uphold
that the rights of property, including slaves, are ex-
clusively within the jurisdiction of the States, and
that the people cannotbedeprived of their property
by Federal authority except for public use, or com-
pensation for crimes of which they are constitu-
tionally proved guilty. The sole end for which the
government has the power to carry on the war is to
suppress the insurrection, And to compel the people
to obey the laws of Congress.

earned at a total expenditure of 34,511/. 7s. 7d. ; leaving a
balance of 55,5111. 17s. 5d.; which, after meeting the in-

the rate of 5 per cent. per annum on the ordinary capital.
and the directors recommend that such dividend be de-
clared accordingly. A resolution will then be submitted for
the creation, under the several acts of the company, of
260,0(At/. share capital for the purpose of providing the neces-
sary fund, for the construction of the works authorised, com-
prising the improved line to Thorne, the Bridge over the

legitimate royal authority ; for the legislators who
abandoned NAPOLEON owned at learnt some national
representative character, and were not appointed
by Wra.uttotott or BLuctuta. The statement of
La France that fifteen Mexican provinces had
demanded French intervention is quite as credible
as the statement that the Archduke MAXIMILIAN
is prepared to accept the government of an empire
guaranteed by fifteen thousand French soldiers
and by two hundred " Notables." It may be
convenient for the Second Empire to give away
empires and thrones is the New World as the first
Empire did in the Old, and to burlesque on a
reduced scale and at a safer distance the domineer-
ing arrogance and rapacity of its glorious proto-
type. But we should be greatly surprised if the
amiable and liberal young Archduke MAXIMILIAN
were advised by his father-in-law to accept a
visionary throne of Mexico from the hand of a
ruler of France whose own throne is but a sand-
heap which to-morrow's flood may wash away.
The Archduke MAXIMILIAN will, we dare say, have
the prudence to accept the compliment for what
it is worth, and will leave Marshal FOBEY'S Nota-
bles to the tender mercies of some fitter nominee
in whom the Emperor of the FRENCH has fuller
confidence, and whom France may be glad to
spare. To raise an Empire of the Jesuits in the
New World as a counterpoise to Anglo-Saxon
ideas, is no light task, even for the Eldest Son of
the Church.

But it is not to the Mexican people, though
they are made the waahpot of the Second Em-
pire, that the deepest sympathy of Europe is due.
Theirs is but the fate of Liberal France. It is
Liberal France that deserves the pity of the civi-
lised world.

GREAT SOUTHERN AND WESTERN.

The directors of this company state in their report
for the half-year ending the 110th Juno that the total traffic
receipt. amounted to 2W3,746/., against 205.501/. for r he cor-
responding half of last year, showing adecrease of 1,755/.
The net surplus revenue for the half-year amounted to
80,942/., out of which the directors recommended that a di-
vidend at the rate of 44 per cent. per annum be paid to the
proprietors of the conaolidatedatock of the company, lec-ving
a balance of 1,660 i. With regard to the traffic, there was au
ionease of 3,1441. in the receipts for the third-clam passen-
ger. only, which was attributed to emigration. The goods
traffic showed a decrease of 5 563/., being quite unpreceieuted
since the opening of the railway, and couldooly beaccouoted
for by the great prostration of trade ia the country. The di-
minished dividend for the past half-year woe not caused by
the comparatively small decrease in the aggregate traffic,
but from the balance brought from the preceding half-year
being so much leas than usual for the first half of the year.
In the taxes there was an increase of 1,600!., principally
owing to higher poor rates. The directors i.aw no reason to
be di*satistred with the present position of the company, the
country having suffered seriously from the effect■ of three
bad harvest* in succession, but they now looked forward
hopefully to a plentiful harvest, in the benefits resulting
from which it was expected that the railway would largely
participate. The extension from Roecrea to Nenagh was
now finis Led, and ready for the government inspector. The
extension to Birdhill would be finished in the course of
October next. The capital account showed that 5,448,041/.
had been expended, leaving a balance of 42,41.811. to the
credit of the company.

THE POLICE COURTS.

MANSION-HOUSE.

A respectable-looking man, named Christopher Homan,
sad described as as optician, appeared on bail before the
Lord Mayor yesterday, charged with having stolen various
articles toe property of his employer, Mr. Browning, opti-
elan, ill, theories.
Mr. Wontuer again appeared to prosecute ; and Mr. Lewis,
jun., appeared for the defendant.
The defendant was foreman in the employ of Mr. Brown-
ing, and it was his duty upon receiving orders from the pro-
secutor, or the manager, Mr. Blakely, to give the materials
to the men and see the work was completed, but he had no
sight to undertake any job or give any work out unlearn the
order was first given to him. home information was,
however, given to the prosecutor, who on Tuesday
last made an examination of the drawer, attached
to the prisoner's beach in the workshop, and there found
the bode of a microscope, and in another part of the room,
under the bench of one of the workmen, he found the fit,
tinge for a microscope in the rough, and also some plans
and patterns of a microscope. He also found some
tools for microscopic work—which was a branch of the
business with which Mr. Browning was not in any way con-
nected—called " jiggers," which with the other castings bad
been made by the workmen on the premises, and cast from
the prosecutor's materiaL Witnesses were examined yester-
day to chow that the usiterial and the labour had been paid
for by the prosecutor, and that the prisoner had requested
them not to let Mr. Browning see them.
One of the witnesses, named Oweo, who made the jiggers,
co being crass-examined by Mr Lewis for the prisoner,
said the prisoner said both the pa tternsand thecastinp of the
two jiggers were made from Mr. Browning's materials, and
as far as he understood they were to be used in the prose-
actor's business. He was to have one himself, and as the
defendant would not allow him to remove a gas burner to
get it op, be was going to sat it up at his own bench, and the
ether defendant was going to put up at his own bench. He
had been in the habit of using a jigger at other places, in
fact he could not do his work correctly without., and bad
econplaived on second occasions to Mr. Browning at not
having one, and upon being re-examined by Mr. Walther
be said he had never seen snob an instrument used in Mr.
Browning's establishment.
Another witness, who made the patterns and turned the
castings for the microscope lased, said the prisoner gave him
the work to do, and raid he need not let Mr. Browning We
it, and that he thought he should be able to make achromatic
powers, and if Mr. Browning found be could do so very
likely he would eater into that branch of the business, sod
that the prisoner told him not to take too much pains over
the work, so that it should not take too much time.
When the prisoner's lodgings were searched some few
articles were found there which were identified by the
prosecutor as his property.
His lordship committed the prisoner for trial, but ad-
mitted him to bail, himself in 10t.1., and two sureties in 501.

GUILDHALL

A young man marred Atkiaeon was charged with obtain-
by mesas of a forged order, a quirotity of silk haodkx.
duets, the property of Messrs. Ellis and Hubbard.
From the 'sidemen at appeared that the prisoner had
previously been in the employ of Messrs. Lee, and in that
*rapacity he laid become acquainted with the mode of busi-
IMO of the house, and also the warehouses with which the
firm dealt. Coe day last week the prisoner presented en
order requesting that three pieces of silk haadker-
chiefs might be supplied. No suspicion was enter-
tained, and the goods were supplied, nod the prisoner
left. In a few days after Messrs. Ellis received a printed
circular, informing them that a young man was obtain-
ing goods in the name of the firm of Messrs. Lee by means
of forded orders. While the circular was being read in the
office the prisoner was seen to pass into the warehouse, and
• polies constable was sent for, and the prisoner given into
custody. After that the prisoner did not deny the charge
of falsely obtaining the goods.
A gentleman from the firm of Pearson, Son, and Coro.
pan►, said the prisoner mine to their house a short time ego
and requested that a quantity of clothing might be supplied
him, as the agent of Messrs. Lee, of Teigornouth. As the
order produced was informal, and further that he could not
give a reference to any person in the City, he was not supplied
with the goods.

A number of other witoesses gave evidence to prove that
various otherhouves bad been victimised.

Alderman Allen remanded the prisoner till Wednesday

310NDAT EVINDRI.

The demand for money seems to have somewhat
increased. A brisk business waa done to-day at the
Bank of England, while in the general market there
were not many tratmacti•ms below 34 per cent. It
is presumed that the increased movement is partly
in connexion with harvest requirements, which are
now considerable. In fact, just at present the
harvest constitutes a drain upon the money market, .
but this will cease at nu unusually early period.
The circumstance that, according to all present ap-
pearauces,
the extraordinarily heavy crops will begot
iu in spleudid condition, is of nosagaill importance,
as the grain will be immediately marketable either
at home or abroad.

SOUTH WARK.

Thomas Chapman, a respectable looking man, area
ebarged with obtaining money horn Mr. George Mansell,
print, and proprietor of the Lamk:th Observer and
South London Times, by mean' of fictitious and forged ad-
vertisements.

Mr. Mansell said be fingered the prisoner as advertise-
ment collector at a salary of 15s. a week, and tea per cent.
commission on all advertisements he brought. During the
last few days he had cause to suspect the prisoner, and on
inquiry he found that he had brought him one pound's worth
of fictitious advertisernenta. They were not inserted, sod
on inquiry he found that they bad been forged. He had not
paid the prisoner the commission on them, but he bad one
in his band purporting to come from Mears. Peter and Co.,
Waterloo-rued. which came to 1T,.. He had paid the pri-
soner the commission oo that, and had since found it to be a
forgery. He then gave information to the p lice, and caused
him to be apprehended.
The magistrate asked if any of the persons wbase adver-
tisements they were alleged to be were present.
Mr. Mansell replied in the negative. Ile wished for •
remand to amble him to produce them.
The priaooer denied the accusation, and said that he
should Le able to show that the advertisement Irvin Mean.
Peter awl Co. was genuine ; but as for the others, he only
handed them in, but cot for insertion. He had not even
charged for them. _ _

produce the necessary witnessee.

THAME9.
Jaems Retell vron. a bilt.l.cr and a tripe-dresser, was
brought before Mr. Woolrycii, charged with sterling a gold
watch and chain valued at la, the property of John
Itayner, coffee/bolts/ keeper.
At the time of the robbery the prianner was carrying on a
good business at No. 93, Limehouse-causeway, bring with
lin family and respected by and on good terms with his
neighbours. On the 6th of July last the prosecutor, wbo
has long carried on the business of a coffee-house keeper, in
Hope•terrace, Three Colt-atreet, Limehouse, the prisoner
and others, were in the Two Brewers public-house in Fore-
strert, Lirnehouse. All the parties were Oct the hest of terms,
and conversing and drinking with each other. The prosecutor
became inebriated. and the prisoner seemed very Wilollll
about him, and offered to remove hie gold chain and watch
from him neck and take care of them. The prosecutor
aro& d not allow the prisoner to take care of his watch and
chain, and said, "I can take care of my own property." The
prisoner, however, persevered, and took the watch and chain
from the prosecutor, who thought he had been robbed. and
said. " Where is my watch!" The prisoner said, "Here it
is ; take it home to your wife," and was allowed to keep
possession of the watch and chain. The prisoner, however,
immediately absconded with his neighbour's watch and
chain, forsook his family, and was heard of since until
yesterday, when he was met by a City police-constable
named Sendai, No. 638, ill Birbopagate, who took him into
esstody. A pawnbroker's duplicate relating to the prose-
nalOr'S gold watch and chain was found upon the winces.

METROPOLITAN RAILWAYS.
Mr. TITE asked the First Commissioner of Works
whether it was the intention of government to institute any
iniuiry into the nature of the various railway projects
which propose to intersect the metropolis, or to subject to
any control the architectural character and construction of
b crossing the River Thames or the streets and roads
which interfered with.

Mr. POW PER replied that the subject was one which had
occupied his attention during the put year. Ose of the
undertekinp which was of great convenience to the metro-
polis had vary much disfigured a principal approach to
London-bridge. A large mass of iron now completely
obscured St. Saviour's church and greatly disfigured the
locality. With respect to the bridges he mindsay that one
of them—Lambeth-bridge—although very useful and very
economical, had been constructed in a manner which was at
once crude, plain, and ugly. (Laughter.) As regarded in-
quiry be would only refer his hon. friend to the report of
the Board of Trade, in which the V.) railway project.
which affected the metropolis were considered and
further inquiry promired. On the architectural question,
he thought the matter could not be in better hands than
those of the President of the Institute of Architects. Be
supposed that the metropolitan members would be prepared
with some proposal on the subject.
