Knight, aged 19, a labourer employed on the South Western
Railway.—George Carpenter said that on Saturday after-
Boon last le Was at work with the deceased at the South
Western Railway Terminus, Nine Elms, shifting the bodies
of tome carriages. The body of a second-class carriage was
upon trowels, but was not sufficiently high to get a little
machine under it with which it was to be remind. The
dcceaiwd got under it to raise it by seam of a " susw jack,"
when the trends or supporta gave way, and the carriage,
with almost its whole weight, fed on his head and shoulders.
He was immediately carried to the hospital, where the sur-
geon said that the deceased died about an hem after his
admission, from fracture of the skull and laceration of the
brain.--Several other witnesses were examined, but none of
them could tell from what cause the trowels gave way.—
Verdict, " Accidental death."

usual direction as to the giving security. The suit was
hostile one between two partners; but both parties consented
to the order being taken in that form.—The Muter of the

lees inclined to do so because both parties wished it made in
that form, in itself a circumstance of suspicion. At all gestate
he should decline doing so until aoine authority for it was

STEINER v. HEALIL—MOTION FOR AN INJUNCTION.—
PATENT.—Mr. Stuart and Mr. Giffard moved for an injunc-
tion to restrain the defendant front infringing a patent ob-
tained by the plaintiff in 1843 for a particular method of en.
treating a colour called garencin from madder. It 'p-
=eat formerly the colour known as Turkey Red had
tracted from madder, and the refuse of the madder
was thrown away ; but the plaintiff discovered a method of
extracting garancin from the spent or need madder by an ak
plication of sulphuric or hydrochloric acid, and subjecting it
to a jet of steam for the space of about two hours. The
complaint now made was that the defendant was employing
the same method of making garancin as that for which the
plaintiff had obtained his patent. The only difference which
could be ascertained was that the defendant stated his pre-
paration to be boiled.—Mr. Bethell and Mr. Bassigette ap-
peared on the other side, but were not called upon to address
the court.—The Vice-Chancellor said it struck him as being
a remarkable thing that the plaintiff alleged the infringe-
ment to have taken place by boding, and the specifimtion
did not state that the substance was to be boiled, but merdy
that a jet of steam was to be applied beneath it. It would
have been very easy for the plaintiff to have stated that the
steam was to be applied until the preparation boiled, but
he had not done so, and he was of opinion that it was a fair
case to be tried at law; he should, therefore, let the motion
for an injunction stand over, with liberty to bring en action
in the usual way.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.

Tint QUERN r. MRILEWRATKICR TA:AMIS.—JUDGMENT
FOR LIREL.—The defendant, who is a member of the bar,
had, under the advice of the Attorney-General, as the bead
of his profession, pleaded guilty to a criminal information
tiled against him for having published a libel on a relative,
touching the making of a will by another relative. The
real author of the pamphlet was the father of the defendant ;
the latter had not taken any part in its publication, but had
allowed his designation to appear on the titlepage as that of
the author. In an affidavit read in mitigation of udgmer.:
the defendant expressed his regret at having allowed his
name so to appear.—Sir F. Thesiger, Q.C. (with whom were
Serjeant Shee and Mr. Claydon), was heard in aggravation ;
Mr. Martin, Q C., and Mr. Pashley addressed the court on
behalf of the defendant. —Mr. Justice Coleridge de livered
the judgment, and said : The defendant was now to receive
the sentence of the court for the publication of a moat serious
libel, imputing to a relative of his own the offences of con-
spiracy, fraud, and perjury. The charge wee one that affected
not one only but several people. It had been urged that
the defendant had done no more than permit the words
" barrister-at-law" to be printed on the titlepage of the
pamphlet which constituted the libel, he having •
general belief, founded on his reliance on his fa-
ther, that the staterneats therein contained were true.
A person in the situation of the defendant should not resort
to special pleading. The defendant had adopted the unlaw-
ful and wicked set of another—of one who, it was painful to
say, was his father; and that fact was pressed, not unnatu-
rally, as a ground of mitigation. The court would be reluct-
ant to limit the sacredness of the feelings that should bind •

SWITZERLAND.—TLIE RUMOURED INTERVEN-

ore, with reference to the affairs of Switzerland (a revolution
which been adhered to by the King of Bavaria) ham Le-
aved Austria and France to abandon the idea of an armed
intervention in Switzerland.

PittaiSIA.—BERLIN.—TRIAL BY June.—This sub-
ject, which has occasioned such lively discussion among the
various Germanic bodies, was greatly defended by Dr. Mit-
termaier,;in his admirable speech. ' Gentlemen," said he,
°it is my firm conviction that you have no choice; if you
wish for open marts and verbal proceedings you must like-
wire have trial by jury. The committee has not proposed
that the jury shall be immediately introduced into Germany,
here or there, that is • state question. Bat wisdom and
experience must speak here, and they will Vvtify that if
the first step has been taken—namely, open courts and verbal
proceedings, trial by jury must follow as a matter of
mane. It is the key atone of a legal process founded upon
openness and verbal procedure, and when these necessary
preliminaries shall have been constituted nothing can
stand in the way of its introduction."
According to the Caloane Gazette of the 23rd inst.,
the committees of the Prussian General Diet (Standie Aur
chime) will be convoked on the 15th of January next ; but
its labours will be limited, it appears, to a discussion of the
penal code.

ethette. They know too wall the many important
reepecti.in Which the views of their own party are
ontwemstie to public opinion—the distrust enter-
tained by the public of the lodgment and capacity of
many of their oolleaguno-td dream of organising a
party ca able of retaining power upon one question
alone. They are anxious, therefore, as their speeches
(alike pregnant and guarded) of Tuesday night show,
to stick at present to the Bank question, and to rest I
contented with any contingent advantages which the
reputation obtained by a victory on it may obtain for
them. It must have been gall and wormwood to such
skilful calculators and self-possessed gamesters
to see Lord GEORGE RENTIRCK, on Wednesday
night, by huddling one incompatible statement upon
another, do his best to attach a degree of uncertainty
to the very inference they are most anxious to draw
from the present state of commercial affairs.
The hopes of the more judicious members of that
third party, which aims at superseding both Pt:en
and RUsSELL, are at this moment mainly reposed
upon their expectation, that ministers will cling with
martyr-like fidelity to the currency notions of Sir
ROBERT PEEL. The line of argument which, with a
view to this event, theyare prepared—some from con-
viction, others to serve their political ends—to
adopt, is, that notwithstanding the disarrange-
ment of commercial relations occasioned by the
dearth of food, the short supply of cotton, and excesek
speculation in several branches of trade, the national
capital and the national energy could have carried us
through the transient pressure without material suf-
fering, but for the prejudicial influence of legislative
tampering with the free play of credit. It is obvious
that the introduction of any new element, with a view
Ito attribute to it a portion of the lato or present dis-
tress, cannot fail to weaken this line of argument. If
it can be proved that the commercial crisis has been
brought about exclusively by the difficulty in timing
the incidence of liabilities and credit., the case of those
who assail the existing monetary system is clear. But
if an impression can be created that some other cause
has in whole, or in great part, contributed to bring
about the crisis, then may the adherents of the ex-
isting monetary system be enabled to evade the argu-
ment of their assailants. And this service Lord
GEORGE BESTINCE has contrived to do them by
blunderingly introducing the totally indecent ques-
tion of free trade.

THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1847.

Commissicmer Fonblanque, in the oourse of as elaborate
judgment, said • 1 sea in this case that in these transactions
there have been a great deals( Irregutarity, souls misconduct
(upon the part of the bankrupt), and some inisundentanding
Moody, on his part, appear. to have taken xaggerated
views both of the expectation of whit he might devise from
this inventioo, and the lees which he supposed himself to
sustain of the delay, &c., in the transmission of the machi-
nery to Demerara. At the end of 1848 Ido not fiud any
impression upon the mind of Mr. Pontifex that be was being
treated fraudulently; on the coatnuy, I find that for a loog
period afterwards the bankrupt was treated as one who had
an interest with him. After this, that Mr. Pontifex had a
good deal of reason to complain, Ido not question. Taking
the matter from January, 1847, I wait sm if there was
actual fraud- —egidarity there was ; and after certain ship-

tion has a right to enter into any contracts. Taking the
bills of lading was clearly irregular. It does not appear to
me that the bankrupt contemplated any gram hand. It is
stated in this case that by reason of the bills of lading being
made in the name of the bankrupt, the creditors have taken
that which Mr. Pontifel claims. It is hard. I will not
absolve the bankrupt front irregularity and miscon-
duct, but I cannot venture to say that he has
been guilty of fraud. The next question is, whe-
ther the defence to the actioa was or was not justifiable.
My belief is that a good defence could scarcely be made. I
do not think that it was justifiable. The last point, the es-
pewee must be divided into two parts. It was necessary, is
order ;hat this business should be carried on beneficially is
the West Indies, that there should be a good force of sea
and an agent The expense of the agent was excessive. TM
individual expense. of the bankrupt amounted to no lea
than 1001. a month, and the court cannot sanction such ex-

LATEST INTELLIGENCE.

THIS DAY, Ibur o'Clock.
Account.% two days later, from Lisbon add nothing
of importance to the news previously received.
Matters continued much as before ; except that,
according to the Diario of the 21st ult., the reports
from all quarters were more satisfactory, and tran-
quillity then reigned generally throughout the
kingdom. There was no longer an enemy in arms.
The power of the Junta had been crushed, and the
authority of the queen was, for the time at least, su-
preme; yet the government of the queen was exhi-
biting little energy, and the reorganisation of the
kingdom proceeded bat slowly. The financial ember-
rasaments were as great as ever, and there was still
no prospect of a loan. Though expert enough in
devising the means of oppression, it is manifest that
those in power are unequal to the flatlet, and that it
will requtre cooler heads and abler hands to origi-
nate the measure of comprehensive reform which the
condition of the people demands, and to carry out to
the means by which alone the crisis which threatens
Portugal can possibly be averted. There was
nothing. wanting which could give effect to the
expedition proceeding against Madeira and the other
revolted settlements of the crown, but there was
nothing doing to consolidate the peace which the arms
of the allied powers had forced upon the people.
Matters, of course, cannot continue thus, and England
must either maintain a force in Portugal or suffer the
people of Portugal to redress their own wrongs. No
party appears nowto have any confidence in the govern-
ment, who have become the subject of common jest.
The high chartists had sent a memorial to the queen
wider a feigned name, commencing as follows :
Benhora—lt becomes requisite to address to the throne
the sincere and agonising voice of the parties into which the
ex-Portuguese nation has hitherto been digided, now that

tion of your majesty'■ worthy allies, or the subtle measures of
Hispano-Anglo Gallic di plomacy,whose agents here call them •
selves the =nista* of the Portuguese ex-crown, and still
less through the effects of the troll:l...into ens care con-

had made an ample apology. ale, therefore, with the nutgis-
trate'. permissioe, would proceed no further. providing they
put a sum of money in the poor-box .—Mr. Bingham said it
was very kind on his part, and he should request them to
put 101. in the poor-box.
THAMES. —FELONV BY POLICZYLIC—PoIice constablee
Henry Cowen and Elijah Heats were chilled with having
committed a felony in the London Docks. On Saturday
night, as police constable K 110, who was acting sergeant,
was going his rounds a Mae before 12 o'clock at night, he
mimed the prisoner off his best, and went in search of him.
When he found him, the sergeant inquired what he bad
been doing, to which he gave an evasive answer. Close by
the spot there was a large crate containing earthenware, and
at the foot of the prisoner were two stone pots. This
awakened his suspicions. and on examining the crate, he
found one of the bars of it had been removed, sad there was
some straw lying outside the crate, as if it had only recently
been disturbed. The prisoner begged the sergeant fur God's
sake not to make a noise about it, and to consider the conse-
quences. On his being searched, the handle of a broken
tin cup was found in his pocket, and, on a further search
being made, in a cupboard used by the prisoner at the
station-house there were found G plates, 2 stone pots, a
bottle of brandy, and a stone jar which had contained brandy.
The brandy, it was conjectured, bed been abstracted from a
cask in the docks, the bung of which, it was discovered, had
been loosened apparently by means of a chisel, which was
also found in the prisoner's cupboard, as the qualities cor-
responded, and a large quautity was missed from the cask.—
The prisoner, io his defence, alleged that when he went on
duty he found the plates with the bottles, brands, &c., tied
up in a handkerchief in a corner, and that he liailmerely put
them in his cupboard till he had time to ascertain from
whence they had been token. He was fully committed for
trial—Elijah heats was then charged with having Keen con-
cerned in the abstraction of the brandy ; and also with having
stolen some sugar, the property of the London Dock Com-
pnny.—A constable said that the prisoner, whose beat ad-
joined that of the other constable, was suspected, a small vial
and string having been found on him, with which it was evi-
dent the brandy bad been dipped from the cask ; and witness
found 12 ounces of sugar concealed in his hat, which he said
he had picked upon the North Quay, but they had evidently
been taken from various boxes in the docks, to which each
had been attached, by a small nail.—Mr. Yardley committed
Keats also for trial.

air. Morris recapitulated his votes on every question, avow-
ing that he had opposed the income. tax as a tea which ought
to be reserved for tunes of war; and also because of its un-
just and inquisitorial character. He thought it too powerful
an engine to be left in the hands of any government ; and
that if imposed, it ought to extend to Ireland. He had voted
throughout iu favour of Sir It. Peers tariff. He had voted
for the repeal of the corn-laws and against the grant to May-
nooth ; being of opinion that, as Lord Arundel had declared
that he would Lever rest till the protestant religion was ex-
terminated, he was not inclined to pw: weapons into the
hands of the Roman catholic by educating their priesthood
for the accomplishment of their designs. He had presented
147 petitions against the government education scheme, and
only two in its favour. He had voted in favour of two of the
three amendments proposed, and thought the plan should
be modified ; but was not inclined to reject it altogether.
He had voted for the poor-laws, and against the separation
of aged couples; for the reduction of the window-tax;
against flogging in the army ; for the ballot ; for the admis-
sion of dissenters to the universities • for the.penny e
against both Lord J. Russell's and Lord G. Itesitincntisi
railway plans ; for the Health of Towns' Bill, and tho Man-
chester Bishopric Bill. They could thus judge of his past
conduct, which would be their best pledge of his conduct in
future. The hon. member was then chaired round the town,
and dined with his constituents in the evening, at the Boar's
Head Hotel. His reception was throughout the day most
enthusiastic.

SCOTLAND.

EDINBURGH, JULY 31.
Ayrshire is about to vie with Aberdeenshire in the
stone export trade. Two mercantile firms in St.
John's, Newfoundland, have resolved on building
certain houses, shops, warehouses, &a., of freestone,
and have commissioned it from Stevenston quarry.
The stones are to be hewn and dressed so as to
answer their respective positions in the intended
buildings, so that the masons in St. John's will
merely have to build. The Stevenston quarry has
been opened for nearly a century, has a deep seam,
and has already furnished materials for many erec-
tions in Ireland.
Professor Wilson's disclaimer of a reflection east
on the University of Edinburgh in Blackwood's. Maga-
zine has celled forth a note in the last numlberof that

magazine.
"'The observations comptained of," say the editors, " did
not at the time appear to them in the aspect in which they
now am that they may be regarded. They are now, how.
ever, sensible that the passoge referred to was liable to ob.
jections which they know had not occurred to the writer of
the article, but which they, so the parties who have all
along been responsible for the management of the magazine,
ought to have seen and obviated. Thee deeply regret that
through this error upon their part Professor Wilson should
have telt it necessary to disclaim what had thus inadvertently
been allowed to appear in their pages."

THE ELECTIONS.

ANGLESEY BOROUGHS.
The election for the boroughs of Beaumaris, Llangeni,
Arolwch, and Holyhead took place at Besumaris on Satur-
day last. Mr. W. B. Edwards read a letter from the Hoc.
W. 0. Stanley, intimating that it was not his intention to
contest the boroughs on the present occasion.—Mr. E. E.
Meyrick proposed Lord George Frederick Augustus Paget.
Greathead seconded the nomination.—No poll was
demanded, and the mayor declared Lord George Paget duly
elected, amidst loud cheering.—Lord George Paget, in
appearing before them for the first time, had the pleasing
task of returning thanks en their representative, an honour
which he most highly esteemed. He had the additional
gratification of finding that his first appearance did not cause
a division of feeling, as he had at one timet.a:pgrehended. It
was natural that they should desire an ex tion of his sen-
timents. In early life, he had adopted rd J. Russell ea
his pole star, and now when he had seen the principles the
noble lord had advocated carried out by the men who had
before opposed them, he need hardly say that his support
would be given to the ministry now in power. So long back
as 1841 he had expressed his opinion before the electors of
the Caruarvonshire boroughs that the corn-laws ought to be
repealed, and he now congratulated them on so desirable a
result. He begged further, to congratulate them on the
pawing of the Holyhead Harbours hill—a measure which
would open up new sources of wealth to the county, and be
advantageous to the boroughs.—Three cheers, and the elec•
Lion was over, thanks being voted to the mayor.

THE MURDER AT THE FAVERSHAM AGRICUL-
TURAL MEETINO.—The investigation into this affair was
proceeded with on Monday, at the Town-hall. Several jus-
tices presided, and the prisoner, 'Thomas Solllett, was
charged in the usual way with the murder of Richard Cox
The proceedings lasted the whole day, but the following will
be found to contain the principal facts :—The meeting of the
association was held on Wedaegday, and the ploughing-
match took place in the village et Throwley, adjacent to the
seat of Lord Ilarris. At the close of the match, a party of
the competitors and their friends repaired to a neighbouring
public-house. Here the prisoner created a disturbance, and
the deceased challenged to tight him with one hand, and at
the same moment struck him. They immeniately fought,
and the prisoner was thrown down. On recovering himself,
he was heard to remark, " If he meets me again, I'll do far
him." They had a second round, and again he was knocked
down by the deceased, who in some way fell on him. On
endeavouring to raise himself, the unfortunate man was
found to have been stabbed. He lingered until the follow-
ing morning, when he expired. Immediately after the at-
tack, the prisoner decamped, but was apprehended the same
night, when a large pocket-knife, with which he said he
had been eating his supper, was taken from him. He denied
having possession of a knife when fighting the deceased.—
The magistrate committed hint for trial on the capital
charge.

This was an application on the part of the crown, as the
plaintiff in error, in the well-known claim instituted by the
late Baron de Bode against the British government, so long
litigated in the courts. The case was brought into this court
on a writ of error, and, after a long and learned enrolment,
was set down for judgment. In the meantime the Baron de
Bode, Ws claimant, died. His son and successor, the present
Baron de Bode, having administered to the estate, and having
undertaken the prosecution of the claim, sought to re-open
the proceedings which have been already taken.—The
Attorney-General, yesterday, on behalf of the crown, moved
for an order to prohibit any re-opening of the proceed-
ings. After an elaborate argument, the court granted the
order.

Now, this total of 115,774 square miles is equal to 218,440
English square miles. There are 164 souls to every English
square mile in Austria, while in the United Kingnom there
are 27 millions of inhabitants on an area of 120,354 square
mile., or 225 to every square mile. This difference arises
chiefly from the geological tormatioa of the Tyrol, Dalmatia,
and the military boundary, which makes those districts but
ill suited for the small amount of cultivation they receive,
and some parts of them inc ipable of any cultivation. The
inhabited districts contoin 773 towns, 2,468 marketplaces,
and 64,218 villages. The population consists of 17,674,715
males, and 18,129,487 females; of these 508,195 are
soldiers; 24,874,139 Roman catholic.; 3,504,431 Rus-
sian Greeks; 2,954,975 Greeks; 1,207,309 Lutherans;
2,037,479 Protestants ; 45,769 Unitarians ; 668,900
Jews ; 2,949 of various sects. In 1842, 293,846
couples were married ; 1,445,210 souls were born ;
and 1,131,98-5 died. The illegitimate births were Ito 71, by
far the largest proportion, as might be expected, being in
Vienna, where it was as Ito 2. Of the deaths (Hungary
not included), 8,104 were unnatural ; and of these, 917 were
suicidal, 51 by hydrophobia, 617 by murder, 6,409 acci-
dental, and 40 by capital punishment.
In 1842, the population was 36,201,671. The population
does not on an average increase more than one per cent. per
annum. Turning our attention to the cultivation of the
soil, we And it thus distributed:
