may be alleged on the other sido.—Mr. Woulfe repeated that
he pledged his professional reputation for the truth of his
uarrtion.—Mr. Burrell: I have not the slightest inclination,
I assure you, for a moment, to question your veracity.
HAMMERSMITH. LIABILITY OP HUSBANDS TO
SUPPORT VIZIR Wives.—A person of respectable appear-
ance, named Tomas Bell, of Shepherd's Bush. Hammer-
smith, appearedh
at the instance of the Board of Guardians
of the Fulham Union, to show cause why he refused to
maintain his wife. Mrs. Martha Bell, whe was attired in
mourning, stated that on the 4th of September last, in con-
sequence of some words that took place between her and the
defendant, he turned her and her daughter out of doors.
Defendant subsequently agreed to allow her a pound ascetic,
and paid it for three weeks, but stopped it about four weeks
since. Ile was quite able to support her.—Mr. Haskard
deposed to having relieved the wife to the extent of ss. out
of the parochial rates of Hammersmith. On applying to
the defendant he offered to allow his wife 10s. per we; jr, I 7i
which she said was not sufficient —Mr. Doisdotrzrell sub-
mitted that there was no charge against defendant, as 'P,
the evidence in support of the co:',Plaint proved that he V
had not wilfully neglected or refused to support his „1.
wife, he having offered allow her ten shillings -,
a week. The case thererwo did not come under the pro-
visions of the statute of the 4th of George 111., commonly
called the Vagrant Act. The defendant had offered his 11
wife a much larger allt.wance than by law she was entitled 14
tv receive.—Mr. l'ayn'.er said that the points raised by the
learned counsel had been settled by a recent decision in the
Court of Queen's B inch, and he was of opinion that on the
day on which the defendant stopped the allowance to his 1.1
wife, he neglect id to maintain her, by whic_ he was liable I
to the punishn ,ent enacted under the provisions of the I
Vagrant Act. He should therefore order the defendant to 2:.„
allow his wife. 10a. per e% er k until the bill of 51. for mourn- r(
ing is paid, r .nd after that 15s. per week.

MEETING THIS DAY.
North and South Connecting Railway ; London Tavern, I p.m.
LONDON. - SOUTH WESTERN. - This railway com-
pany are allotting to every shareholder a new 10th, the whole to be
paid and to bear interest at 4 per cent from the let of December.
Ten of these shares will make one original share. On the opening of
Ilungerford F.xt noon they will beornie original shares.
PROVINCIAL.-BISitOrSTOKEANDSALISIit:RY BRANCH
or Soren Wnersaa.-A correspondent, who dates "Bietopstoke."
intimates that another serious Flip has occurred no this line. He
expresses an opinion that the accident precludes all expectation of the
line being opened on the Ist of December.
CHESHIRE JUNCTION.-The ceremony of cutting the first
sod of the Cheshire Junction Railway was performed on Saturday by
Sir R. Brooke, Bart, at Norton, near Preston Brook.
Ittlan RAILWAYS.-In the Galway Mercury, of Saturday,
November 14th, appear several railway notnee; namely, for the Es-
tension of the Mullinear and Dublin Railway to Galway from Ath-
lone; and one to enable the Grand Canal Company to unite with a
railway company and the Western Counties Railway, being an exten-
sion of the Moutitmellick Junction to the town of Galway' with a
branch to ltallinasloe. The Valencia Railway directors intend going
before parliament next session for a bill for part of their line-from
Valencia to Killarney, with a branch to Tratee.
COLONIAL-MONTREAL AND LACHINE EXTENSION.-
A writer in the Ottawa .Ideucestestrongly advocates the Stockholders
of the Montreal and Lachine Railway to extend their railway by St.
Anna, up the Ottawa, and by the Chat's to the Calumet Rapids.
QUEBEC AND HALIFAX.-St. John's (N. B.) papers Mate
that the Railway Survey and Boundary Commissioners were making
the best of their way towards the Itistignuche. On arriving there, it
is understood they will petered at once to make an eximunation of
the country in the vicinity of that River, with the view of settling the
disputed boundary between New Brunswick and Canada, orders hay-
ing recently been forwarded to them by the Home Govenunent, to
attend to that duty the present scams. Afterexamining the country,
Capt. Pipon and Lieutenant Henderson will state the result of their
examination to Mr. Attorney-Genend Johnston, of Nova Scotia, the
third commissioner, and on the joint report of these three comtunt-
dement this disputed question will probably be settled without
further delay.
MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH BETWEEN NEW YORE, BOSTON,
AND Moseresea--We are terry to learn that the scheme of the elec-
tric telegraph, to connect this city with Benton and New York, is in
great danger of falling through. Without it our rivals will always be
two days in the produce markets before us, and we shall suffer the
great disadvantage of two days loss of time, and ignorance of prices
both in buying and wiling. The whole sum required is only about
three thousand pounds, and experience in the United States shows
that the return is very fair as an investment.-Mnotreal Herald.
FOREIGN. - PRANCE. - RAILWAY VALUER.-When
the advantages of railways, as a mode of investment-were first
developed in England, the French were backward in their adoption,
and it was not until extraordinary advantages were offered by the
government, and the practical result* of one or two lines, in which
English capital was largely embarked, were brought under their
ere', that they awoke to the advantages of these enterprises. With
tie vivacious character of the nation they then entered upon
them with a degree of enthusiasm proportioned to their previous
apathy, and everything having the name of a railway was Want on
with avidity, and theirs row almost indiscriminately to prices exor-
bitant above their intrinsic value. A reaction, however, has com-
menced, and it is not improbable now that public opinion may even
one to an extreme in the other direction. On comparingthe price.;
dim shares of the following 19 principal line', as reported in the
Como Autlientique of the Bourse of the 10th Nov., 1845, and the 9th
Nov., 1846, an interval of twelve month", it has been found that the
shims in all of them have declined in a greater or less degree :-The
Northern, Paris and Rouen, Rouen and Havre, Marseilles, Basle,
Vterzon, Boulogne, Bordeaux, Fampoux, Dieppe Versailles, (right
bank), Versailles (left bank), Montereau, La Terte ; and the fol-
lowing, which, in 1815, were only negotiated in the conlir,ses t-
Lyons, Strasburg, Nantes, Avignon, Bordeaux and Cette, the
total lore of capital calculated, according tia the amount in
which these Moires respectively have fallen, is 245,412,750 franca, or
about 10,000,0001. This amount of capital has actually been lost to
these enterprises in 12 months. Oa the other hand, two railways
only-namely, the St. Germain and the Orleans, have seen their shares
augsn nt in value in the mute interval. The capital gained by snob
increase being 3,670,000 franca, or about one millibn and a half Mee-
ting. Thus, there has been a net toss within 12 months on railway
veculation in France amounting to eight millions and a half sterling.
The following are the receipts of the priacipal French railways for the
second week of November :-- MILRYSPONIIIIIIO

PRUSSIA.-An official journal intimates that the following
articles are either prohibited to be conveyed by railway, or only per-
mitted under certain conditions: Fulminating mercury phospluuns,
sulphur, gunpowder, fireworks, mineral acids, chlorides, naphtha,
and ether.
EGYPT.-A letter from Alexandria, quoted in an Italian
paper, observes that " the English consul is endeavouring to persuade
the Viceroy of Egypt to construct a railway from Suez to Alexandria,
or from suer to Cairo. It is, however, doubtful if he will emceed;
for it would be a great expense, without much benefit to the country.
Travellers would only effect a paring of from 24 to 36 hours on the
voyage from Calcutta to Southampton. As to traffic in merehanchae,
that is hardly to be looked fur. If the Pasha wishes to do what Is
really useful to his country, he will construct a canal from Suez to
Pciesteitun, which is practicable, and would nut only be advaatageoem
to Egypt, bat to all other mnitime countries, by enabling them to
have commercial relations with nations which have been almost illaC•
cessible to commerce."
