The railway market has again fallen to-day to
the extent of between 1 and 2 per cent., and showed
marked depression to the termination of business.
Heavy salsa are still pressed, and, though partly
speculative, the absence of any adequate buying,
coupled with the continued tall in Consols, prevents
any favourable reaction for the time.

THIS DAY.—Two o'Ctoci.
The railway market has been characterised by a
feeling of depression during the greater part of the
morning. but prices do not appear to have descended
at any time much below the reduced rates of yester-
day. Since the rally in Consols a decided improve-
ment has taken place in this market, and prices are
now quoted at a sensible recovery from the final rates
of yesterday. London and North-Western is at pre-
sent quoted 101 to 1; Great Western, 801 to 81;
Lancashire and Yorkshire, 644 to 851; Midland, 671
to 681 ; Great Northern, and Dover., 181 to 1; Ca-
ledonians, after falling to 261, now stand at 26 to 1.
In French shares Strasbourgs have advanced to
381 to 1; and Paris and Lyons to 171 to 1 prem.
Northern' are quoted 34i to 4.

DARLINGTON.

The Board of Health Isere continue their exer-
tions to remove everything likely to favour the epi-
demic. The drains are flushed twice a week ; some
of the mere dirty and confined places in the town
have been washed with the hose and pipe. and the
houses have bees whitewashed. Chlonde of lime is

freely used in all cases of removal of manure, con-
tests of aahpita, &c., and in some places it is sprinkled
in the channels. The town continues free from the
disease. The Board of Health met on Monday, and
an additional inspector of nuisances was appointed.
The purchase of the waterworks was mooted, and it
is probable they will pass into the hands of the board.
The surveyor was directed to prepare plsns and an
estimate for works for the collection and deoderisa-
tion of the sewage manure, now that the sewerage
of the town is in progress, so as to prevent the pollu-
tion of the Skerne, into which it flows at present.
A further notification of precautionary measures was
directed to be issued, in compliance with a sugges-
tion of the General Board of Health, from whom the
"officer of health" had received a communication in

reference to the state of preparation in which the
town was placed.

WINDSOR.

The local board of health met on Wednesday
night in the Council-ehamthr of the Guildhall, the
mayor, Mr. W. B. Holderness, in the chair. Mr.
Voules, the clerk, read the circular of the General
Board of Health, dated the 15th instant, with refer-
ence to the cholera. A letter was also read from Mr.
G. H. Long, the clerk to the Windsor board of guat-
dians, asking the co-operation of the local board of
health in carrying out the Diseases Prevention Act
within the borough. It is now nearly two years
since the main drainage of the town was completed ;
and the general impression up to last night was that
almost every owner of property had availed himself
of the facility thus afforded to drain his premises ;
but such unfortunately is by no means the case.

DURHAM.

Three more cases have occurred here—one on
Wednesday terminating fatally. The different com-
mittees which were appointed have again visited
consecutively every house, yard, itc., in the city, and
the measures for the prevention of cholera, which,
were adopted by the Board of Health, have been
actively and efficiently carried out. Previous to his
return to London from Newcastle Mr. Grainger, of
the General Board of Health, visited us, and advised
with the authorities. In other respects the town is!
remarkably healthy.

may be partly attributable to the prospect of war. Should
the weather become more genial we have hopes that much
of the cereals that at present are unripe will be timely har-

The English stock market opened this morning
with a rather improved tone, but was soon visited by
a panic feeling, and experienced further marked de-
pression. It then transpired, however, that the Bank
of England will make advances on government secu-

immediate rally ensued, prices being now quoted as
they left off yesterday.

SHOCKING BRUTALITY.—DEATII FROM TETANUS
rA USED ny ♦ Kim—This morning William Oxley, aged
16 Tema, expired in Kenton's Ward, St. Bartholomew's
llospital.from lock-jaw, he result of injuries sustained yes-
ter.ley under the following circumstances:—lt appears that
the deceased was playing with some lads of his own age in
Angel-court, Moor-lane, Cripplegate, when some stones
were thrown, which struck near the windows of a house in
the occupation of James Haveloyd, who, with another
man, proceeded to Angel-court in order to ascertain
whether the stones were propelled by the lads. On
reaching the 'mot Haveloyd felled Oxley to the ground
with a terrific blow, and then in the most savage m inner
commenced kicking him about the head and buly, con-
tinuing his brutal treatment until the unfortunate lad was
insensible. The police belonging to the Moor-lane station
havirg heard of thi. savage conduct, hastened to the spot,
■nd conveyed Oxley to the above-mentioned hospital, where,
notwithstanding the efforts of the medical officers, tetanus
ensued, which terminated in death in the morning. Have-

BRITISH AND FOREIGN SCHOOL SOCIETY.

The annual meeting of the above society took
place yesterday, at the School-house, Borough•road. The •
public meeting was fixed for 12 o'clock; but the proceed-
ings commenced at 10, when a careful examination of the
pupils, to the number of 700, took place, and was exceed-
ingly satisfactory in the evidence it afforded of their general
progress. The president of the day was the Right lion.
Lord J. Russell, M.P.; and along with him on the plat-
form were Lord Ebrington, Sir E. N. Buxton, the Bishop
of Manchester, Sir John Slauttleworth, Mr. Ilindley, M.P.,

Notwithstanding the wetness of the day, the meeting was
fully attended. Among the visitors at the morning exami-
nation was Mn. Beecher Stowe, who was obliged to leave
before the general meeting.
The proceedings were opened by the Chairman calling
on Mr. Dunn, the Secretary, to read the report, which
after adverting to the promising condition of elementary
1 education in England, furnished a rapid sketch of the
aociety's proceedings during the year. It appeared that
" during the past year the Boys' Model School has admitted
812 children, and the girls school 430 children. Twenty-

BELGIUM.

BRUSSELS, THURSDAY.
Intelligence which may be fully relied upon has
been received in this city to the effect that the Em-
peror of Russia has expressed his willingness to re-
sume—but for the last time—negotiations respecting
the Russo-Turkish question, those negotiations to be
based on the Aoglo-terench propositions. It is added
that he will consider himself fully justified in occupy •
ing the Danubian Principalities, so long as the nego-
tiations are pending. There are grounds for believing
that the evacuation of those Turkish dependencies has
been called for by the British and French cabinets.
A Russian courier, with despatches to the above
effect, la expected tom ive to-night or early to-morrow

THE BRASS GUNS OF BRUNE.

Mr. HUlii Fins Lord of the
Admiralty. whether he intended that the distribution of
prise money, realised by the sale of brass guns taken from
the Sultan of Borneo, should take place as announced in
the Gowns?

Sir J. GRAHAM said the capture of the guns took
place seven years ago. Sir Thou= Cochrane and the
squadron under his command attacked the capital of
Borneo, took I batteries, and captured • number of
guns. The conduct of the admiral and the squadron was
approved by the government presided over by the noble
lord the member for the City of London, end several years
elapsed before any question was raised with regard to the
sale of the guns. In the year 1851 Sir Thomas Cochrane
memorialised the Board of Admiralty, and requested
'that these guns might be sold for the benefit of
the captors, and treated as prise of war. The question
was under the consideration of his right honourable friend
(Sir F. Baring). It was not a question involving privacy,
because as the law stood in 1848, head money would have
been paid, and the guns in question would hays been
treated as droits of the Admiralty. No question of piracy
arose, and the guns were considered as prise of war. The
right hon. gentleman referred the matter to the Treasury,
who requested the opinion of the law officers of the Crown.
The whole question was referred to Sir John Dodson, now
Judge of the Prerogative Court, to his hon. and learned
friend the present Attorney-General, and to Vice-Chan-
cello, Sir William Wood, and the government having been
advised that there was no question as to the guns being
win Cl war, directed the sale of the guns for the
benefit of the captors. An order In council wee
pealed is IE6I, in pursuance of the opinion of
the law officers of the crown. Seven years had now
elapsed sines the capture, two years since the order in
council wee passed ; the guns had ban sold ; the proceeds
had been realised, and the amount stood for distribu-
tion on the 29th of the present month; and considering
the length of time which had elapsed, and the decision of
the two governments on the subject, he was certainly not
prepared to intercept the course of law by arresting the
payment of the money. (Hear.)

IN THE NAVIGATION OF THE

Lord D. BTVART asked the noble lord the member for
the City of London, as it bad been stated by the govern-
ment that a great number of British merchant ships are
detained in the Danube in eonsequence of the state of that

river, which had been produeed by the neglect of the gc-
•eroment of Russia to discharge that which bad been de-
scribed bra minister of the crown es a greet deaf owird'by
Rani& to Europe ; and, as great lose must be oseasiorted to
British fetch' nts by the detention of those ships, whether
government would demand from the Cur compensation to
those merchants for the loss inflicted upon them by the cul-
pable neglect of the Russian government; also, as it had
been stated by the government that repeated representa-
tions have been made to the government of Russia respect-
ing the interruption of the navigation of the Danube,
whether the noble lard would have any objection to lay
upon the table of the house copies of the correspondence on
the subject.

Lord J. RUSSELL doubted whether there could be any
substantial claim for compensation made out upon the
ground suggested by the noble lord (Dudley Stuart). The
Russian government had not taken such precaution as this
country had a right to expect ; nevertheless, there had
been natural causes very much impeding the navigation
which could not have been entirely obviated. A large
quantity of mud had collected in one part of the channel of
the river, and an inundation, extending over several miles,
had resulted therefrom. Tho last accounts represented this
inundation to have very much subsided. With respect to
the other branch of the question, the noble lord at the heed
of the foreign department had given directions that the cor-
respondence upon the subject should be looked into.

SWITZERLAND.

The Bum? of Bile announces officially that the
Austrian authorities are allowing certain citizens of
the canton of Ticino to proceed to Lombardy, to look
to the preservation of their property there. The
Corriere Mercantile of Oence, of the 16th, also states
that the imperial commissary of the district of St.
Fedele (Lombardy) has invited the landed proprietors
of the village of :Erbonne, who are all Ticinese, and
live at Muggio, to return to their estates and perform
the usual agricultural operations there.
These permissions appear to be rather special con-
cessions, which it would have been barbarous to
withhold, than indications of a definitive rapproche-
ment of Austria and Switzerland. Our letters state
that the settlement of the difference between the
empire and the confederation turns solely upon the
decision which the Federal Council may give in the
matter of the expelled Capuchins.

There are cases, however, in which the silence
of the Press—which is after all the only power
competent to grapple with them—would be a crime.
Such cues ate those of " the pig and the police-
man," and the cabman Phillips. In matters of this
kind we cannot, if we would, be silent; and we
would only add, by way of warning, that the govern.
ment, if it would consult properly its true interest,
ought to be foremost is aiding the legitimate efforts
of the Press to put down the injustice which results
either from imperfect laws or the injudicious ad-
ministration of the law.

CAMP AT CHOBHAM.

Col. BLAIR said that paragraphs appearing In the public
papers represented that the regiment with which he had
the honour to be connected had a very large number of
men in the hospital, from the effect of the weather at Chob-
hem. He held in his hand a letter from the commanding
officer of his battalion, denying that such was the fact.
(Hear, hear.) Ile now wished to ask the Secretary-at-
War whether he had received any official communications
corroborating the statements made in that paragraph ?
Mr. S. HERBERT said that although, from the un-
favourable state of the weather, the men had been put to
some inconvenience at Chobham, all the accounts which be
had received represented them as submitting to those dia.
egrecables in the most cheerful manner. (Hear, hear.) It
had also been stated to him that the degree of airlines, at
the camp was considerably lower than it would have been

tions in favour of a sale from being carried into effect ?
Mr. WILSON said that it was quite true that the re-
commendations originally made had not been followed out
with regard to this property, but that was only because,
upon further consideration, it appeared inexpedient, with a
due regard to the public interest, to do so. In a few days
the papers in relation to the matter would be laid before

MR. HENRY'S SENTENCE ON THE CABMAN

Theme of Phillips, the cabman, sent to gaol on
Tuesday last, to expiate the crime of not having five
shillings in his pocket, was very properly brought
before the House of Commons last night. It has been
our business to advocate most strenuously the aboli-
tion of that ancient state of things which delivered
the passenger, bound hand and foot, into the hand
of the cab driver. It now seems to have fallen to
us to vindicate the cause of the drivers, delivered
over, without appeal, to the tender mercies of the
magistrate. Mr. Henry's decision, in the eyes
of reasonable people, had neither law nor
equity, nor reason, nor mercy, to recom-
mend it. What, then, has Lord Palmerston to
say when appealed to with regard to the sentence in
question ? His first resource is to affirm that he
knows nothing about the matter. The house is re-
quested to suspend its judtment. Why? Because
reports are sometimes inaccurate. Pray what
would become of reform if private enterprise
did not undertake to give these reports ?
The government knows nothing, or pretends to
know nothing, of the escapades of the Adamses or the
Henrys. Let a magistrate act as arbitrarily as he
will, he may be sure that unless a newspaper brings
his doings before the public, they will be unknown
at head-quarters. Where then are we to look for
the means of redress in cases of oppression, if not
from the impulse given to public opinion
by the means of newspaper reports ? Who
would have known aught of the tale of " the
magistrate, the pig, and the policeman," if it had
not been for the Public Press? Ah ! says Lord Psl-
merston, in his answer to Mr. Bright, but there was
a very material error committed in the report of the
case of the "pig and the policeman." " In the report
it was stated that Mr. Serjeant Adams sentenced a
woman to so many leers of additional confine-
ment for calling a policeman a pig,' and it I
had since been utterly denied that anything of the
kind had taken place." No one doubts that it may
have been denied, but who will receive without proof
the mere denial as valid evidence against the well-
known accuracy of a newspaper report? Lord Pal-
merston, who committed himself to the special
defence of the judte in the pig case, cannot get over
the anecdote. "'Die pig and the policeman" is a
bitter fact for him, which he seems unwilling to let
alone. Nevertheless the House of Commons believed
the report, as was shown by the rejection of the Ser-
jeant Adams salary job.
Why should Lord Palmerston feel bound to make
himself responsible for the faults of the London
magistracy. There is no disposition on the part of,
the respectable portion of the London Press to take
any ill-natured advantage of the errors into which
the magistrates of the metropolis at times almost
necessarily fall. Many instances escape. reprobation
which would aft red a fair mark for a spirit actuated
by captious feeling. But they pass unstigmatised,
although not unnoticed, because the Press is unwil-
ling to hamper the action of an honourable class of
men who have no doubt trouble enough to fulfil their

ALLEGED MURDER AT A WATERING PLACE.—
The neighbourhood of Walton Bay, a watering place, near
Weston Super Mare, Somerset, was thrown into consider-
able alarm, in consequence of the dead body of a respect-
ably dressed man having been found out up upon the beach.
Upon inquiry it turned out to be the body of a Mr.
Joseph Smith, a retired furniture dealer of London, wh,)
having been for some weeks on a visit to a Mr. Brett, an
innkeeper of Bath, had a few days before, accompanied by
Mr. Brett, come to Walton for the benefit of has health.
On Monday morning Mr. Brett had occasion to go to
Weston and left his friend alive, but on his return in tise
afternoon found that his body had been discovered drowned.
Marks of violence were found over the eye, and on other
parts of the body ; the breast pocket of hie coat, in
which be had been in the habit of carrying his pocket book,
was turned inside out; all his other pockets were empty,—
this immediately raised a suspicion that he had been mur-
dered. An inquest was held yesterday; but no satisfactory
evidence of the cause of death being presented, it was ad-
boned.

THE CAB CASE OF THOMAS PHILLIPS AT
BOW.STREET.

Mr. BRIGHT said he wished to put a question to the
noble lord at tho head of the Home Department,
with reference to a cue which was heard on Tuesday at
Bow-street Police-office. He referred tothe decision of Mr. I
Henry, the Bow-street magistrate, in sending a cab-driver
to prison for a month because he did not happen to have
five shillings in his pocket to give security for the expense
of ascertaining whether a certain distance was more or less
than three miles. He could not have believed that such a
cue was true, were it not that the newspapers were gene.
rally so accurate in their reports of police cases. It ap-
peared to him to be a sort of case which might very well
have happened in Turkey or in Russis.—(hear, hear)—but
which ought not to have happened in this country. It was
a mere case of dispute u to distance between Mr. Bend, the
hirer, and the cabman; there did not appear to have been
any incivility, and Mr. Bond himself wasshocked at the se-
verity of the sentence. Because the cabman could not
deposit 6s. for the measurement, he was fined 405., and in
default of payment of the fine sent to prison fxr a month.
(Hear, hear.) He wished to know whether the attention
of the Home Secretary had been directed to the matter. If
such cane were repeated, it would be necessary to have an
°Maw at the Hente-olllce to read over all the police eases.
(Rear, bear.)
. . .

Lord PAIkERSTON said his attention had been allied
to the matter that morning, and he should of course direct
an inquiry into the circumstances ; at present no informa-
tion had been given him on the subject. He would, how-
ever, entreat the house to suspend their judgment, because.
although the reports were generally very accurate, yet there
had been eases in which very material errors had been oom-
'sifted. There was an instance of that kind in the ease
which his hon. and gallant friend the member for West-
minster brought before the house. In the report it was
stated that Mr. Serjeant Adams sentenced a woman to so
many years additional confinement, for railing a policeman,
" a pig:" and it had been since utterly denied that any-
thing of the kind took place. He hoped, therefore, that in
this ogee the house would impend their judgment
Mr. HUME wished to know whether the noble lord's
department was preparing a bat of distances. (Hear, hear.)
It was the want of proper distances from station to station
that created the whole difficulty.

Lord PALMERSTON said then was an dam sow
employed in monaring dietanees.

merous sums of money to a very large amount, the property
of his employers, Messrs. Lane and Co., brewers, in Wen-

Mr. John Lane, the senior partner in the firm, stated
that the prisoner had been for a considerable time put, in
their service as town traveller and collecting clerk, for
which he received a salary and commission amounting
altogether to nearly 400/. It was the duty of the prisoner to
vendor an account of the various sums he had collected from
thcir eastomers in the course of the day, an! the most im-
plicit confidence had been reposed in his integrity, until a
recent period, when certain commenicatiens were made to
them, which led to a rigid investigation of his accounts, and
ft was ascertained that he had adopted the systematic habit
of appropriating a portion of the money he bad so received,
and that the aggregate extent of his defalcations, as far as
tlzu were at present discovered, amounted to upwards of
