POLICE.---SnrusaAy.

ffiANSIO N-H OUS roc s set— Wood, Prime, and
Collier, three idle young men about town, were charged
by Hayden, one of the City police, with having picked
• gentleman's
.pocket al a silk handkerchief.—Hayden,
who was aist in official costume, had seen the priso-
ners in King William-street, Lombard-street, Gracechrech-
street, and Gambill, followiss respectable persons, and
teaching their pockets se' • y. At lest he observed
two of the prisoners cover the third, who whipped the hand-
keratief out of a gentleman's pocket, blew his nose with it,
and then threw it to one of his companions. Tie thing was
so perfect in itself, that an stainer", observer would
have supposed the handkerchief to be the essanon pro-
perty of the three lads, to be used when occasion required,
and then to be passed on. The policeman instantly „seised
Prime, to whose care Wood had transferred the new acqui-
sition, and the other prisoners were at the same instant
apprehended and taken to the station-house. The gentle-
man whose pocket had been picked said that the act must
bare been very cleverly performed, as he was not conscious of
the loss until one of the policemen asked him whether be
was robbed of anything, when upon putting his hand in his
pocket, he said, " Yes, my handkerchief"—The Lord
Mayor : Well, Wood, what have you to say about this hand-
kerchief, which you have been seen in the act of stealing?—
Wood : Stealing ! I never stole it, your lordship. You don't
think I'd be such a fool as to blow my nese in a if I stole it
(A laugh.) A boy as I know throwed it to me; and after I
used it I avowed tt to the next boy to me, for I did not
think it Ash to keep it.—The Lord Mayor: Thatstory won't
do, you know.—Wood : I can't tell no more than the truth.
—The Lord Mayor: What does Primesay ?—Prinie: I know
nothing of it but that I caw it come into my hand. I know
nothing of these young men at all.—Colher : And I don't
know why I was taken up; for I neither see nor felt the thing
at all, and I know nothing of these boys. They may be
thieves, for what I know. (A laugh.)—The Lord Mayor:
I shall commit you all to Newgste for trial for this robbery.
You are too clever for London.--Committed for trial.

I BOW-STREET.—Mrs. LOMAX.-11. H. Lomas appeared
:Von ' summons, issued at the instance of the authorities of

the Strand union, to show cause why he refused to supper;
his wife, Mares Louise, whereby she became chargeable to
the parish of St. Anne, Soho-square, in receiving oi*.i-door
relief. The defendant, on presenting himself, wee erideatly,
from his manner and language, in a state of inter cation, and
Mr. Henry ordered him to be confined for two hours in the
celb, until he became sober. In the course of an hour the
defendant's brother assured the magi tote tat the defendant
was only labouring under excitement, ar.d he was anxious
to save trouble, by saying that ho 'was entirely unable
to maintain the complainant, who bad a business of her
own, as he could prove by the testimony of several witnesses.
Mr. Henry, upon this representation, cemented to let the
case proceed.—The complainant being sworn, said that she
resided at Is, Hellen-street, Soho, and was married on the
13th of May, two years back. Had &child prior to her mar-
riage, but none since. She lived with her husband from the
age of 16 years, and was 24 years of age hem June last, but
was married at the age of 21. years. She received out-door
relief from the parish of St. Anne, Soho, from last March.
Theist assistance she received from her husband was about
four months back, and then of a Ivry trifling nature. She
ems residing aux months front her husband, at which time
she went to reside with her father at Chelsea, the defendant
being sent to a private lunatic asylum from the 16th of March
tithe 16th of Jane following, m 184.5. at Brampton, where
be was placed by his brother James and herself, with the
sanction of his father, the general. From what she bad seen
of him for some time past, he seemed very much
excited, but she considered it was principally caused
from drink, his acts not being them of a rational man.—
Mr. James Lomax said that the voluntary contributions
of his father had been entirely cut off from the defendant.
Mr. Boswood, relieving-officer of the Strand Union, handed
to the court letters from the general, thanking the com-
plainant for her conduct towards his son up to the month of
June last, and not only approving of her general conduct,
bet entreating of her to induce him to abandon drinking in-
toxicating liquors, and to hold up to him the serious cons.-
qaenoes of leading such • disreputable life.—Mr. T. Goodwin,
assistant-relieving-officer, said that about a fortnight back he
saw the general upon the subject, and he told him that he
allowed the defendant 26e. a week, in addition to which he
gave him a great quantity of clothing, but he believed
he had no other means, and the general also said that
he did not consider the defendant a rational man —Mr.
Henry observed that, strictly speaking, he could cot legally
receive 'such evidence, and he should order a summons to
issue for the general to attend and give evidence on oath.
—Mr. Boswood said that he • would have applied for
each a summons had he been aware that any
defence would be set up to such • claim.—Mr. J.
Lomax proceeded to address the court, but was interrupted
by the defendant, who said he would address the representa-
tive of her Majesty, and calling upon witnesses he had la
attendance to jump up and give evidence in defence of as
Mimed man.—Mr. Henry immediately ordered him to be
removed from the court, as he was not acting as a rational
person, and, as he understood, had been confined in a lunatic
asylum.—Mrs. Sarah Bowen, beer-shop keeper, said that
the defendant bad lodged in her house five months. If
managed without the interference of others, everything
be right, but he feels annoyed by his wife's friends.—
Mr. J. Lomax called two witnesses to prove that the com-
plainant was seen in the company of a tradesman who con-
ducted her from the Cremorne Gardens, and said that
although the parties had been separated he could not
recognise separate interests.—Mr. Henry said that the
defendant had neglected to support his wife when he
had the means, and it was no answer in law to say that he
was not now in such a position, for which he could be com-
mitted for one month to the House of Correction, and which
now might be done if he appeared to be a sane man. He
observed Mr. Painter, a guardian of the Strand Union, pre-
sent, and he hoped means would be taken to ascertain if the
defendant was really of sound mind ; at the same time, he
should receive the testimony of the person from the beer-shop
with great caution, hut he would make no order upon the
subject until the opinion of the medical attendant could be
obtsined.—Mr. J. Lomax here exclaimed, "This woman
has foisted herself upon a respectable family through the
medium of an insane man."—Mr. Henry said that the wit-
nesses he had called to question the character of the com-
plainant had failed in every particular; and it was very
wrong to set up such a defence, when it could not be sup-
ported. He should adjourn the case for the parish authori-
ties to make inquiries if the defendant was an accountable
person; and, in case he was, the defence set up could not
purge him from making his wife an allowance, upon which
he had very strong opinions.—The further inquiry upon the
subject was ordered to be adjourned until Friday.

MARYLEBONE. —A man named John Morgan was
charged before Mr. Rawliaison, the sitting magistrate, with
1;::12 committed the following daring robbery:—lt
from the evidence that the prisoner had been for
some time observed hovering about the shop of Mr. Dryden.
linendraper, No. 24, Bradford. street, Bryanston*quare, and
in consequence one of the young men was placed in such •
situation that he could see all the prisoner's movements. In
about a quarter of an hoor he saw the prisoner cut the
string of a pile of rolls of flannel, attached for the purpose
of keeping them in an upright position, and was about
running oft' with one of the rolls, containing 60 yards, when
he was secured.—The prisoner, who denied the charge, was
committed to prison for six weeks.

CLERKENWELL.—James Brown, a powerful-looking
man, was placed at the bar, charged by Mary, his wife, re-
siding at 26, Saffron-hill, with having committed an assault
on her. He was also charged with having severely mal-
treated John Kerry.—The complainants appeared in court
with their features most frightfully blackened, cut, and
swollen, and they certainly were in a most awful condition.—
It aPpears that the prisoner, who is a cabinet maker, had
been married to his wife four years, and during that time
they had frequently quarrelled in consequence of his lea-
luny. A few days ago, he had occasion to go into the
country on business, and while there he received a letter
informing him that his wife was in the habit of encouraging
the visits of Kerry. Determined to sift the matter he came
to London, and, on proceeding to the bed-room of his lodg-
ings, he heard his wife and Kerry talking together in a
loving and affectionate manner. He burn open the door,
and commenced beating both of them, and, after giving
Kerry a sound drubbing, he belaboured his wife, and at-
tempted to smother her in bed.—The magistrate asked the wifo
whether she wished her husband to be committed for trial
for assaulting her ?—She said " No ;" and was desirous that
the case should be then disposed of. The defendant was
fined ill., or two month's imprisonment ; and Kerry was told
chat he could take further proceedings against him if he
those.

Srzsuwo A TlLL—Henry Blackburn, a dimunitive little
urcl in, about 10 years old, was charged with stealing a till,
containing some silver and copper money, belonging to Mr.
Haddington, corn dealer, of 12, St. John's-row, St. Luke's.
The prisoner was seen to crawl on all-fours in the shop, and
disappear behind the counter. Information was immediately
given to an assistant to the prosecutor, by whom the prisoner
was found secreted under the counter with the till and its
contents. He said he had "nuffen " to say, and was sent
for trial.

WORSHIP-STREET. —CoNvicriow OF A POLICE-
INSPECT° li.—Mr. Broughton, the sitting magistrate, was
again occupied several hours with the adjourned investiga-
tion the alleged misconduct of Inspector Julian, of the K
division, who use charged with having wantonly endangered
the life of a young man named Blake, a watch-cue maker,
by attempting to run over him. The occurrence took place
on Saturday fortnight about the time for clearing the public-
houses in the Bethnal-green district. There were two dis-
tinct cases of disturbance at two different points about the
eighth of a mile apart, and the accusers of the inspector
alleged that the whole was ()cautioned by his extraordinary
and intemperate conduct on horseback. Shortly before
twelve, the man Blake, and about a dozen others, were
leaving the Britannia beer-hove, in Three-Dolt-lane ; the
inspector was on horseback close to the door, right across
the footpath, the hind quarters of the horse touching the
door-poet, and the fort feet in the kennel, so that the
parties could hardly get past. Seeing Blake turn and
look at him, he exclaimed, " What can I do for you ?"
and instantly made the horse rear and plunge, so that
the head and neck covered the complainant. The latter,
terribly frightened, having slipped under the horse's head
and run away, the defendant galloped after him until he
found refuge in a shop. He then galloped back, and having
spoken to the landlady, rode off in the direction of The
Woodman, when the first-mentioned disturbance then took
place. Blake, a nervous young man, was exceedingly
alarmed, and the witnesses assured the magistrate that he
certainly was in very great danger. By the advice of his
friends he shortly afterwards went to the Stepney police-
Made to ascertain the name of the officer, and then met
with the defendant, who, on being asked why he had acted
so, said, " I did not knew it was son under the horse," and
added that there was a mob of 500 pc?plc, eiei lie was ot-
liged to ride through them. The witnesses declared that
there were, at most, about a dozen persons. Blake, while
waiting at the station-beuse, saw the young man Scott
taken in (a stranger to him), and then heard of what had
taken plea at The Woodman. He, in consequence, at-
tended S'eote's examination here, and the stated what had
occurred to himself. A number of highly-respectable par-
sons attended to testify to the defendant's general good ere.
duct—Mr. Broughton, after a long and elaborate summing
up of the our, concluded that the complaint was fully sub-
stantiated, and he therefore convicted the defendant, and
sentenced him to pay 51. penalty, or be imprisoned one
month. The fine wasimmediately paid.
WESTMINBTER.—Thomas Ilandacome, a bricklayer,
was charged with stealing two silver forks from the residence
of Captain Chanute, Ogle, 44, Eaten-place, Belgrave...equare.
The prisoner had been employed at the house during the
bat week. On Friday afternoon the footman heard the
pmtry-door creak, and on going there found the prisoner
leaving it. Witness missed the forks, which he had seen
half an hoar before safe, and which were subsequently found
concealed where prisoner had been seen to go when he left
the pegdry. The fellow, on being given into custody, seized
a ea. -knife and made an attack on the footman, but,
fortunt*ely, only slightly cut his hand. Prisoner denied the
offence. He was fay committed for trial.
LAMBBTH.—" TWENTY-POUND" ADVERTISEMENTS.
-... W. FV. Byron, who has been in custody for some
weeks past, on a charge of obtaining various NUM Of
lifeey from different individuals, by means of advertise•
mute, was again placed at the bar before Mr. Norton, for
further examiniation.—Mr. Ballmtine, the barrister, aa on
the previous exteniination, attended for the accused. The
court was crammed with persons, principally pawnbroker',
who wished to exocerate themselves from an imputation
(frequently cut upon them in the earlier parts of the hearing
of this case) of lending themselves to such persons as the
prisoner in defrauding We public.—Mr. Trull, as solicitor to
the society of Pawnbrokers, reminded Mr. Norton of some
observations which he had made at • former examination,
which, emanating from the bench, were calculated to
excite an unjust prejudice Neailint the pawnbroking
body of tradesmen. Mr. Noevin mid he should re-
peat what he had before stated, ilastiely, that though

it was his belief that ninety-nine pawnbrokers out of
100 would not lend themselves to anything imp‘oper or dis-
honest, yet that the 100dth might be a " ble she, In
the course of the inquiry it had been shoe,n that the goody
specified in those duplicates which !lie prisoner had given to
parties as security for advances, were pledged for sums
far above their value to persons who ware judges of
their business, and whe eadom lent more than two-thirds
of their value on any goods. This was, he thought, a mt.
fieient justification of what he had stated.—Mr. Folkard.
who is an extensive pawnbroker, said that the public formed
a most erroneous opinion as to pawnbroker and their mode
of doing business. Pawnbrokers were as liable to be im-
posed upon as other individuals. Mr. Folkard here banded
to the bench a massive and fashionable-looking gold neck-
chain, which, to an experienced eye, appeared to be worth
61. or 71. Thus descriptions of goods were, he said, manu-
factured in the Queen's Bench Prison for the sole purpose
of imposing upon the trade. They were taken to the diffe-
rent pawnbrokers shops by well-dressed females, selected
as the objects best calculated to deceive. On the chain
he then prauced his (Mr. Folkard's) man had advanced
31. 55., while it was not worth more than 11. 514—Other
pawnbrokers present complained of the unjust imputation
thrown out against the members of their trade by persons
seeking to obtain an interest of 20 or 30 per cent. for their
money. For their own part, they said that if any member
of their body was found to charge 51. for the loan of 201. for
• month, to say nothing about security, they should pro-
secute him at the expense of the whole trade, and have him
punished to the utmost extent of the law.—A person of re-
spectable appearance, who had been victimised by the pri-
soner, here said that notwithstanding.all that bad been said
by the pawnbrokers, it was his opinion that there were
them men who would pot a sum of 255. or 305., on
: sur4rate, while they would only give a pound to the bor-
rower. This assertion was met with loud groans from the
pawnbrokers present, who called on the magistrates to pro-
tect them from gross insult—A second gentleman, who
heard the fury of the storm, and said that in the cases where
he went to look at and redeem the goods specified in
some duplicates which be had taken from the prisoner,
he was always asked if he had purchased the property, and,
from his observation of their conduct, it was his firm im-
pression that the pawnbrokers' servants were in league with
persons such as the prisoner.—Here there was • second
clamour and another call on the magistrate to protect those
present from further insult—Serjeant Meritt was here
called, and in answer to a question from the magistrate, said
he called at the shop of Mr. Barr, in Whitechapel, where
some goods had been pawned by the prisoner, and ascer-
tained that they wen passed fur more than their value.
This, he sold, was owing to a candlestick pledged being
staffed with metal other than silver.—Mr. Norton observed,
that in cases where parties committed a fraud upon pawn-
brokers, by representing articles as silver or gold which
were not really so, they would be liable to an indictment
It was at length decided that the prisoner should stand
committed to take his trial on two cases for obtaining money
order false pretences, and that he should be brought up
again to undergo a further examination on the charge of
conspiracy.

GREENWICH.—LIABTLITY or LITERARY AND SCIEN-
TIFIC INSTITUTIONS TO PAROCHIAL RATES.—A case of very
considerable importance came on for adjudication before Mr.
Trail. The trustees of tha Greenwich Society for the Ac-
quisition and Diffusion of Useful Knowledge having been
summoned at the instance of the parochial authorities for
the sums of 41. 18s. 4d. poor's rate, and 11. Bs. highway-
rate, made in 1845, Mr. James, solicitor and vestry clerk,
attended to support the summons, and Mr. .7. M. White,
of Lincoln's-inn-fields. solicitor and trustee of the society,
appeared for the defence.—Mr. James stated the case on
behalf of the parish. The question not being as to the
amount of rates sought to be recovered, but whether the so-
ciety was to be considered as coming within the meaning
of the act 6 and 7 Victoria, cap. 36, passed for the purpose
of exempting buildings erected for societies founded for the
advancement of literature, science, and the fine arts, from
the payment of _local rates. This institution, he was of
opinion, could not claim exemption, on the ground that they
let their 'premises to various parties giving lectures, con-
certo, &c., and that the members consequently had a bene-
ficial interest in such building.—Mr. James cited one or two
authorities in support of his ease, and contended that it was
incumbent on Mr. White to show that the members had
no dividend or bonus—one of the laws declared that no
dividend or bonus should be shared by members in re-
spect of such membership, and they bad also obtained
the certificate of the barrister, Mr. Tidd Pratt, to the effect
that the society was exempt; but that he considered was
not sufficient, as in the first case a member of the society
might be appointed to give lectures for his own profit, and
the certificate was only a mere condition precedent of
right —Mr. Bass, the secretary of the institution, was
called to prove that the building had been let for lectures,
concerts, exhibitions, meetings. &c. The funds arising from
which went to support the objects of the society, and not
applied to individual benefit.—Mr.White, on the part of the
institution, contended that nothing had been done to re-
' move the exemption of the act.—Mr. Trail said, the ques-
tion was whether a society could let its premises for other
than its own purposes, if the funds arising from that source
were applied to the objects for which it was founded, and as
the matter was one of very considerable importance, he
should grant, warrants of distress for the rates, thus leav-
ing the question to be decided by a higher tribunal.—The
warrants were then ordered to be made out, but it is under-
stood they will not be executed for a few days, in order to
give the solicitors time to arrange in what manner the ques-
tion shall be brought before the Court of Queen's Bench.

MONEY MARKET.

SATURDAY ETEMNO.

We have a slight decline in the funds to-day, such
as follows the absence of business sometimes. Console at the

The movement of the Bank here developed exhibits some
notable differences for the week, which are, however, suffi-
ciently explained by the paymgit of dividends for the most
part, though not altogether. The increased quantity of notes
out among the public, inconsiderable as it must appear com-
paratively with the bulk of public deposits withdrawn, and
which may be amid to represent the amount of dividends paid
out, was the result of that operation. The amount by which
the active circulation must have been so oiled, in the absence
of any counteracting cause, may be °villa ited by the return
of notes into banks, concomitantly with the payment of divi-
dends, for :nearly 2,000,000/. on the aggregate, which had
been temporarily loaned on securities, or advanced more
freely in discounts, for the period during which the transfer
books were shut. Securities to the extent were withdrawn
by parties who had been accommodated, or whose bills had
matured, by which notes proportionally re-entered the
Bank. These simultaneous re-entries and issues of notes
show the working of banking machinery in the conduct of
that branch of its financial combinations which still
connects it with the State as a fiscal agent. The
increase of " other," or private, deposits by more
than three-quarters of a million ; would arise for the greater
Mrt, from the transfer of dividends received to that account.
The more material feature of these returns is, however, the
continued abstraction of coin and bullion from the Bank.
Within a period of three weeks, inclusive of the return,
about one million had been parted with. Some large portion
of the decrease now observable would doubtless be drawn
out for country use by banks as part payment of dividends
receivable. The rather marked tendency to decline of
foreign exchange will draw more attention to the state and
fluctuations of the stock of hard money.
It is understood that frequent communications have taken
place lately between the government and the Directors

RAILWAY NEWS.
The market on Saturday continued firm, with
rather an upward direction of prices in some I net. Cale-
denims* were better upon a rumour of an arrangement with
the North Western, and Scottish Central air°, on the same
ground. Ansbergates, and Boston and Str.nfords, were
freely dealt in, and after some changes left ~ff at improved
prices. Bleckwalls were firm. North B. itish were in fair
demand. East Indians were rather heavy and in decline,
The committee of the India Board charged to report epos
the projected lines submitted for India, have, it is under-
stood, agreed upon areport to be laid before the Court of
Directors on Wednesday next, when it is deemed more than
probable that a decision will be come to in favour of Lar-
pent's line.
The business in the Liverpool share market was on the
whole steady, and in some of the new lines there was a good
deal of speculation. Huddersfield and Manchester were sold
as high as 31 pm.. in anticipation of an arrangement with the
London and North Western. Dewsbury' also improved and
reached 31 p. Birmingham and Oxford were a shade lower
than on Friday ; Ormskirks closed 4 to 41.
The Manchester market was very inactive and heavy ;
prices were nominally unchanged, except in Liverpool, Pres-
ton, and Ormakirks. which were rather higher.
The business at Birmingham was limited, as is usual on
a Saturday. There were sales in the Birmingham and
Oxford Junction at 41p. ; Birmingham,Wolverhampton, and
Dudley, at 31. 16s. p. ; Stour Valleys, at 7s. 6d. p. ; and
Shropshire Unions, at 3s. 9d. to ss. dol. There were buyers

PROVINCIAL.--COTENTRY, NVNIATON,
swoltiamsoase.—The first gencral,rneeting of this company was held
at Birmingham, on Saturday, Edmund Peel, Eaq., In the chair. The
attendance of shareholders was numerous, which may be accounted
for by the negotiations which are pending for the transfer of the line
to the London and North Western Company. The report, stated,
infer olio, that the company had ceded the line from Coventry to
Nuneaton to the London and North Western Company, they having
also a bill before parliament for a line between those towns. The
directors further declared it to be their opinion that the line from
Nuneaton to Wisaiton (near Leleester),for which the act was obtained,
was too short to be worked with the fullest efficacy by an independent
company, and, therefore, recommended that an application be made
to par' innent in the ensuing session for power to transfer the line to
the North Western Company. In consequence of a part of the line
having been abandoned, the capital is to be reduced to 270,0001.,
In 11,500 shares of 201. ; each shareholder to be entitled
to one registered share of 201. for exert, four subscribed
flar, and for every forty-eight shares held, one additional.
The seal having been affixed to the registry of shareholders, the
Chsirman addressed the meeting at some length. In the course of
his speech be adverted to the fact that every Inch of the ground having
been severely contested by other companies In Parliament, it became
absolutely necessary that they should cultivnte an alliance with some
=ul company, to enable them to secure any portion of the on-
rag. They had succeeded In protecting the shareholders from
lam, but had only • length of line left to them of fifteen mtlesti which
It was clear could not be worked by an in t company. The
directors saw, therefore, the desirahility ofarrangement
wish that sful and respectable company, the North
Wedge& arrangenients were still pending, hat, supposing
=me out, it would be neomsery they should go to Bar-
nett sermon Ss powers to transfer the line to the company
Jet liellwred to. The hon. gentleman baring congratulated the
riders on the swam which had attended the exertions of the
plessam, moved the formal resolution usual on such occasions.
Thiadisseesion which ensued was of a somewhat stormy character.—
I MT. Oliver, of hoodoo, who declared that he represented a great
meatier oesharehoiders. complained that the proprietary had not
been called together prior to the public aimounoement to transfer to
the London and North-western Company; and Mr. T. H. Thome, of
Leicester, declared that be was Ignorant of the exact position in
which the Company stood; no option had, be said, been given
to the shareholders of taking any other course, supposing they did
deem it expedient to accept the two guineas offend. It seemed to
him that there was something unfair about the whole proceedings.
He knew that thousands of shares had been sent up to louden in
ignorance of the exact position of the Company'', affairs. The two
guineas had been retuned upon each share as though the arrange-
ment for the transfer was completed. He (Mr. T.) demanded to know
by whom the two guineas had been paid?—The Chlirman, after 'con-
sultation with some of the directors, and with Mr. Carter, solicitor,
replied to the fit* complaint, tha. it was still open to the company to
work the line independently.—To this a Shareholder rejoined, that be
feared there was little hope of that, since, by the proceeding to which
Mr. Thorson referred, the majority of the shares had fallen into the
hands of a hostile company. The Hon. Chairman's reply to theologise
of the last-named gentleman was, "that they had better net ha
premed." Mr. Oliver said that be regarded the question se ass et
very considerable importance; for aught the shareholders blew, the
directors might bare committed themselves in such a msomer es
seriously to affect the interests of the company. Coosidareble die-
mission ensued, but ultimately the questions were not pressed; and
this matter settled, Mr. S. Harris, Leicester, Inquired whether they
were to be transferred to the or to the Landau and
North Western. The airdrome =Tby referring to the
report, which averred that tbe ogipsdadass were Mb the

and Co, all Sensing, in Belgium, were conveyed by railway from
Liege to Paris. Thole arc the stationary engines to be employed ea
the Paris and St. Germaine Atmeapheric Line. ThEi machinery, of
the weight of 200,000 ad., occupied 45 waggons, drawn by two ea-
gines. The expense of =rriage from Liege to Quierrain amountekit
is esid, to nearly 0,000 francs. The engine, are of the raise et
SOO,OOO franc., and the canteens' duty upon them, on entering France,
was 130,000 &ZINN.
The opening of the railway from Abbeville to Amiena,
which was to take place next mouth, has, it appears, limn postp
until the end of December or the beginning of January. As part of
