THE EXPRESS, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 6, 1848.

and subsequently liberated the plaintiff on bail; that case
came on before the magistrate at Lambeth on the following
morning, and was dismissed, the defendant having been
proved to bo the person who committed the first assault; the
learned counsel remarked that the cue was brought in that
court instead of the superior court because the plaintiff did
not sustain any further imprisonment than the custody of the
policeman: had it been otherwise, the case would have
assumed too serious an aspect to have been disposed
of within the limited jurisdiction of the court.—
Turner, 207 I', proved the taking of the plaintiff into custody
on the charge of assault and highway robbery ; the defendant
iasi•ted that the plaintiff had knocked him down the previous
night in the road and robbed him of 7e. in silver and a silk
handkerchief; had he been aware the charge would have
ended in an assault only, he would net hove taken the plain-
tiff into custody.—The l.t arced Judge said that no evichnee
relating to the original quarrel was receivable; the action
was for the imprisonment with regard to the charge of felony;
that had been clearly proved, and the only question for the
jury was the amount of damages.—The Jury returned a ver-
dict for 61.—The learned Judge certified for full costs includ-
ing counsel.

Mr. Shun made out the depositions, and did all that was
required. Witness could not say if the turnip was really
worth a farthing.—The turnip was produced and to
appearance it seemed half rotteu.—Mr. Parnell having
addressed the jury for the prisoner, the Chairman
(Mr. Cotton) in summing up, told the jury to con-
sider well whether the prisoner in taking the turnip did
so with a felonious intention.—The Jury alter some delibera-
tion found a verdict of Guilty. but the foreman intimated to
the court, that they were of opinion that the cue ought not to
have been sent there for disposal. It was then proved that the
prisoner, seven years ago, was convicted of larceny at the
quarter sessions of the eounty.—The Chairman told the
prisoner that the bench were disposed to deal leniently with
him, although a previous conviction hat been proved. They
hoped their mercy would have duo Oh ct, and accordingly
sentenced him to one month's imprisonment, the last week
in solitary confinement.

CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
OLD COURT.—Before Mr. Jostles Papeete awl Mr. Justine Menlo. !
BITROLAHY.—J. PhiUpson alias WilSuP4, 23, and U.
Anderson Will A. Lour, were indicted for breaking into the ,
dwelling house of W. O. Bright, and stealing two dressing
cases containing some valuable property belonging to Major
General Fleming. The general occupied the upper portion
of the house, No. 11, Baker.strect, Portman-square, the
landlord of which was Mr. Bright. About eight o'clock on
the evening of the 17th Bee., one of the servants of the
general, named Mary Fitzsimons, was going up stairs, and
on passing her master's bedroom her attention was attracted
by a smell as of lactic, matches burning, and in looking into
the room she saw a man whom she distinctly recognised as
the prisoner Philipson, and likewise heard the voice of a
second man, and they both appeared to be engaged in pack-
ing up property for removal, the two dressing cases ling
placed one upon the other on the dressing table. The wit-
ness, seeing what was going on, seized hold of the handle of
the door and gave an alarm, upon which the two mess rushed
out of the room, knocked her down and kicked her, and ran
down the staircase leaving the property behind them. Mrs.
Fleming, who was in the drawing room, upon hearing the
cries of her servant came out, and at that moment the
prisoner Anderson ran by her, and she thus had
an opportunity of identifying him. Philipeon, it appeared,
was taken into custody upon the spot, but the other prisoner
succeeded in getting away, and was not apprehended until
several days afterwards, when Mrs. Fleming immediately
recognised hint as one of the robbers. The jury found both
prisoners guilty, and evidence was then given that they had
been previously convicted of felony.—Tbe prisoner Ander-
son was then arraigned open, another indictment, charging
him with stealing seven feather beds and other articles, the
property of Hugh Reilly. The prosecutor is the owner of a
furnished house, No. 31i, Orisvenur-street, which was unoc-
cupied at the time of the robbery, and no one was in charge
of the premises. On the evening of the 2nd Nov. a carman
was employed by the prisoner to go to the house, and he
and three otter men proceeded deliberately to load it with
feather beib, pictures, corps ts, and other articles, and when
the van was quite laden it was driven to the east end of the
town, to the house of a shoemaker, who, however, refused to
' receive it, and eventually the police were called in, and the
property taken possession of by them, tho prisoner and his
companions having in the meantime made their escape.—The
' jury returned a verdict of Guilty. The prisoners were sot-
, fenced to be transported, Fhilipson for seven, and Anderson
I fur ten years.

NEW OffißT.—Before the Recorder nod Sir J. enie.
PLIIIIIDERINO HOTELS TATHIINs.-11. Evans, de-
scribed as an agent and colonial broker, was placed at the bar
to receive judgment, be having pleaded guilty to four several
indictments, which charge d him with stealing various oriole
of plate and clothing tno property of hotel and taveru keep( re.
Fn.na inquiries made by the Recorder of the %inmats in
attendance it appeared that when the prisoner was appre-
hended a coat wen found upon hint, and in his pocket twelve
silver table and other spoons. It was ascertained that the
coat in question hod been stolen from the Guildhall Hotel,
tha: one of the spoens had been stolen from the Cathedral
Hotel, St. Paul's Churchyard, another from Garraway's, 8
others from the Queen's Arms Tavern, in Nest/gate-greet,
one other from the Horseshoe, in the Borough, but no owner
could he found for the other. All the robberies were com-
mitted on the same day.—Witnessee to character were called.
—The Recorder said this was a system of plunder which
must be put an end to. The sentence was that the prisoner
be transported for seven years.—The prisoner protested his
innocence. The property had been girt ato him tz pawn by
a person he had met at Garraway's.—The Recorder asked
how it was that he bad pleaded guilty if such were the
case ?—The prisoner said ho had (flattened his own non-
rei. nee by so doing, but he had done it through
the :ade ire of those he had retained to defend him.
—Mr. Hurry (prisoner's counsel) said he knew nothing 01
the facts ; lie had merely called the witnesses to character at
the request of one cf his professional brethren.—The Re.
corder said he would not allow any trick of this sort to be
played either upon the court or the prisoner. The judgment
pronounced I.y the court was abated, and the prisoner Ines
he tried in the usual manner.—The prisoner was then
arraigned in the usual manner, when he pleaded not guilty.
Evidence was given in the case of Mr. Ball, of the Queue's
Arms. There was no positive evidence that be was the
actual thief, hut it was shown that he had had ample oppor-
tunity to effect the robbery. He was intozicated when taken
into custody.—Mr. Horry addressed the jury for the pri-
soner, and urged that he was the dupe of a more designing
person.—The jury at once found the prisoner Guifty.—The
Recorder said it was a case wherein the sentence, on public
grounds, ought to be carried out in its full integrity. The
prisoner was then sentenced to seven years' transportation.
RAILWAY ROHREILY.—Hicherd Bedsit/ was indicted for
stealing a portmanteau and its contents, value 201., the pro-
perty of Adam Sedgwick. A second count Lived the
property as that of the Eastern Counties R.tilwny Company.
—lt appeared, from the evidence, that on Dec. 27 the
prisoner was seen by James Kennedy, a porter on the Em-
urn Counties Railway, loin ring about the platform at the
Bishopsgate station, and in consecoence of a great number
of depredations haring recently been committed upon pas-
sengers' luggage at that station a watch was kept upon his
movements. On the arrival of the half-past four p.m. train
from Norwich, the prisoner got near the luggage van, and
seemed as if looking out for his own luggage. Suddi nly he
seized a portmanteau, and wan making off with it, when
Kennedy stopped him. The prisoner said the port-
manteau was his, and asked the officer to call him a
cab. This Kennedy refused to do, and asked the pri-
soner to tell him what address was on the port-
manteau. He seemed confused, and said it was
right and so on ; but Kennedy seeing him endeavouring to
read the address, told him he knew all was not right and
took him into custody. The prisoner threw down the trunk
and tried to escape.—Professor Sedgwick was now called
and identified the property.—The prisoner said he was a
native of Norwich, and having arrived in London by the
Eastern Counties Railway had mistaken the professor's
portmanteau for hie own.—ln answer to this Kennedy said
that full inquiry had been made, but there was no unclaimed
portmanteau at the station on the day in qui stion.—The
Jury found the prisoner Guilly.—Mr. Commissioner Bullock
(who took the Recorder's seat) ordered the prisoner to be
kept to hard labour in the House of Correction for twelve

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
Before Mr. Seryeant Adams.
AssduLt.—E. Bailey was indicted for having assaulted
Martha Mitchell her apprentice. The girl was in the habit
of rising early, and bad usually to wake her mistress. One
morning, however, she did not do so until after the usual time,
and this so exasperated the prisoner that she brutally at-
tacked prosecutrix and vac her a severe beating. She was
admitted into the London Hospital, where she remained
three weeks, and for three days hir life was considered in
danger by the medical officers—The prisoner admitted beat-
ing the girl, but said she did so from a good motive. She
was guilty of great prevarication, and she only intended to
chastise lier.—The Learned Serjeant put it to the jury,
whether the beating the girl had received was or wall not
beyond proper correction ?—The Jury found a verdict of
Guilty, and the prisoner was sentenced to three months' im-
prisonment.
ROBBERY we AN LE-BOW-STREET RUNNER.— Thomas
Games, an old Bow-street runner, was indicted for
stealing a 51. note.—The prisoner is a person enjoying
considerable notoriety for the extraordinary mental delusions
he is subject to: and in consequence of which he often figures
at the police-courts of the metropolis. One delusion under
which he labours is, that he is still a Bow-street officer, and
entitled to carry about with him, and use about the heads
of all who deny or refuse to submit to his authority, a rrdu-
Mr constable's truncheon, and this has been the chief cruse
of his legal troubles. On the present occasion he insisted
upon counting some money which the prosecutor was telling
in a shop in Leather-lane, and, as usual, he produced his
staff, said he was an officer of justice, and had a right, and
would exercise it, of counting the money. He did count
over some bank notes, but he returned one short of the ori.
ginal number, and a Mr. Sprigg saw him secrete something
about him. The polite were informed of it, but neither the
note nor any portion of its produce were recovered.—The
prisoner denied ever having taken the note.—ln answer to
the court, a police-officer said he had heard that the prisoner
had been in Hanwell Lunatic Asylum. An inspector of police
said he had known the prisoner for some years, and believed
him to be insane.—The learned Serjean t recommended the jury
to find the prisoner not guilty on the ground of insanity, so
that he might be taken proper care of.—The jury returned
a verdict to that effect.—The court ordered the prisoner to
he taken to Westminster Bridewell, preparatory to his re-
moval to Hanwell Lunatic Asylum.

CHELMSFORD QUARTER SESSIONS.
STEALING A FAIITHING TURNlP.—Charier Calcraft, a
decently-attired middle-aged man, brother of the public exe-
cutioner, was indicted for stealing a turnip, of the value of
one farthing, the property of Abraham Johnson, Esq., of
Hatfield Peverel. The case rested on the testimony of one
and the only witness, Meriden, a county policeman, No. 6.5,
who stated that on the morning of the 20th ult. he saw the
prisoner leave his cottage, which is adjacent, open the gate
leading to the grounds of Mr. Johnson, and proceed to a
heap of turnips lying on the ground. Prisoner turned
the straw up which covered them and took up five,
when the constable pounced upon him. Four of
the turnips were dropped, but the one mentioned
in the indictment was found in his possession.
A bench warrant was issued against him and he was com-
mitted for trial. In the course of a cross-examination by
Mr. Parnell, it appeared that Mr. Johnson, the stated
owner of the turnip, was not present, and that for anything
the witness knew, might be adverse to the prosecution.
When the prisoner was apprehended, he was examined be-
fore Mr. Sheen, a magistrate, who had no clerk to assist him.

bodily fear of him, adding that he was then on the premises,
and that she sought the magistrates protection, as she was
afraid to return to her house. The magistrate inimediate4
issued hie warrant against the accused, and an officer pro-
ceeded to execute it —The complainant stated that the pri-
soner and his wife occupied apartments in her house for the
last eleven months, and that during that period they were in
the constant habit of quarrelling and causing disturbances
in the house. She was most anxious to get rid of such lodgers,
although they owed her a considerable sum for arrears of
rent and had repeatedly warned t em to quit. In the course
of that morning she went up-stairs to request that the pri-
soner we old leave, hut she had scarcely opened her lips when
he rose from his chair, and, with an oath, swore he would
murder her, and set the house in • blaze. She hastened
out of the place, but had not been down-stairs many minutes
when she suielt tire, and, on looking up, pere, ived volumes
of smoke issuing from the prisoner's apartment, and on
entering, with other persons, she saw a portion of the bedding
on fire, and also a table cloth which was spread on a table
near where the prisoner was standing.—Guest, the sum-
moning-officer, said that when he went o apprehend the pri-
soner he found the apartments he occupied in a state of the
greatest possible disorder—that the china, crockery, and
ornaments were all smaalied and strewed about in all direc-
tions. That the prisoner threatened violence if any attempt
were made to remove him, and it was found necessary to
have further assistance in order to take him into custody.—
The prisoner exclaimed that the facts were grossly exag-
gerated, and that lie intended to pay complainant every
farthing ho owed her.—Mr. Cottingham: But what have
ou to say in answer to the charge of threatening to murder
her, and that of setting some of the property on fire ?
Prisoner: I never intended to do one or the other ; these
things I dare nay accidentally cauzht fire, for if I intended to
burn the place, it isnot probable that I should have remained
in the room to allow myself to perish in the flames. I shall
make a proposition now,and that is that I will pay bin. Moor
immediately every shilling I owe her and quit her house.—
Mr. Cottingham said that he could not listen to any proposi-
tion of that kind, for he was too dangerous a character to be
admitted to go at large without proper sureties to keep the
peace —The complainant said she wad afraid to return to her
house if the prisoner went there, as she had not the slightest
confidence in his promises. , both himself and his wife being
continually under the influence of intoxication, and that
there was no knowing what desperate act he might commit
while in such a state.—Mr. Cottingham having severely
censured the violent conduct exhibited by .a man in tie: pri-
soner's situation of life ordered him to be imprisoned, in de-
fault of heavy sureties to keep the peace.
LAMBETH.—MAILINO Bova Dating.—Serg.
1 L, reported to the magistrate that, on the preceding even-
ing, two little boys, named E. Hornblower and J. Tarrent,
were four d lying on the pavement in the Lower Mush in •
state of helpless intoxication. They were carried to the
Tower-street station, and wire found in such • state that it
wu deemed fleet-teary to send for Mr. Wagstaff, the divisional
surgeon, who applied the stomach-pump to both lade, and
ejected a quantity of spirits from the stomach. They were
removed to Lambeth workhouse ; and, though closely
attended all night by medical gentlemen, they still remained
in so dangerous a state as to render it unsafe to remove
them. Indeed there were some doubts whether they would
recover. —The father of one of the boys said that, from what
could be learned from the little fellows, who were not 12
yearn of age, it appeared that a " gentleman" had prevailed
upon them to drink a whole bottle of gin.—Mr. Norton ob-
served that the act was erne of a meat abominable description.

POLICE.—v _ENTILZDAT.
MANSION-HOUSE.—D,LEGAL EXACTIONS BY AN
OMNIBUS CONDUCTOR.—JOAN Cord, the conductor 'of an
omnibus, was summoned for having exacted from R. Gray
more than the legal fare for conveying him and three others
from Charing-cross to the Bank, and also for having unlaw-
fully acted as a licensed conductor without wearing his
badge.—The complainant (policeman Du 338) dated that he
with his wife and two other females!, met an omnibus at
Charing-cross. lie told the conductor that they were to be
set down at the Bank, and the ticket of the omnibus stated
that the fare for each person from Charing-cross to the Bank
was 3d. On reaching the Bank the complainant hailed the de-
fendant and desired him to stop, which he did not do till the
omnibus reached Finch-lane, and then he charged GIL each
as the fare, refusing to give more than Oil. in change for a
half-crown which was handed to him in payment fur the
four. The complainant then demanded to see the badge
of the defendant, who drove on without producing it.—
The defendant said he was not culpable. The fact was, a
person travelled constantly with the omnibus who kept an
account of ull passengers who went beyond the Bank, and
the conductor was obliged to pay sixpence for every one of
them. Amongst those who passed the Bank were the com-
plainant and his friends, and the charge was sixpence each.
lie did not deny having acted as conductor without wearing
• badge.—The Lord Mayor was glad that the defendant,
whose object was to cheat the complainant out of a shilling,
by taking him a few yards beyond the Bank, had met with
his match, and hoped that cases of this kind would not be
allowed to pass in the City without complaint to the proper
authority. The defendant was fined 10s. for each offence
and costs, and obliged to refund the shilling of which he had
defrauded his customers.
GUILDHALL.—Kitten nv AN OSINIIIINS.—G. Carter,
the driver of an Islington omnibus, was re-examined,
chsrged with having caused the death of a female, named
Smith, by running over her.—On the 20th of Dee, the de.
ceased was run over by the prisoner's omnibus near Chan-
cery-lane, and had her leg broken, from the effects of which
injury she expired at King'e College on the lffith of Dec.—
Two gentlemen were called by Carter, who stated that he
was wholly blameless. The road was very dirty and slip-
pery, and the lady both old and infirm. She stepped off the
pavement iu front of the horses for the purpose of crossing,
but in consequence of her advanced age, being up-
wards of seventy, she could not step hark again, although
there was time do so. The prisoner stopped aa soon as pos-
tilde, got down, rendered every assistance in his power, and
conveyed deceased to the hospital in hisoinnibun.—Alderman
Wilson thought that an inquest ought to have been held to
ascertain how she came by he r death, and who was to blame,
or whether it was a pure accident. There had been neglect
somewhere in allowing her to be interred without a proper
inquiry.—Sir Chapman Marshall said that a letter had been
received from the coroner (Mr. Bedford), who stated that he
should have held an inquest on the body had the authorities
of King's College hospital made any communication to
him on the ruliji et, which they ought to have done.—
It being stated that the deceased's relations, if she had
any, were not known, Ald. Wilson said, if she was Mind-
less there was the more reason for an inquest. The public
had an interest in, and • right to, such inquiries, and there ti
had been great neglect at King's College Hospital in not it
communicating with the coroner on the death of the de- I
ceased. The coroner should make it leis business to ascertain el
how the neglect arose, end take such steps as would prevent se
a similar °aunt nee.— It wee decided that, as far aa the It
evidence went, the prisoner was blameless, and therefore
there was no necessity to remand the case any longer ; hut ri
that the primmer must be held to hail to answer any charge t
at the next sessions, us it was the intention of the alderman
to tend a copy of the evide nee to the ceroner, at the same ll
time informing him that they both conside red that an in- 2
quest ought to be held, but leaving it to his discretion as to „,11
wrist course he would pursue.—The required bail was put ;
in, and the prisoner MPS discharged.
BOW-STREET.—CoNvirrioN OF AN OMNI)11:14 Con-
DCUTOIL—T. Shouter, conductor of a Putney omnibus, '
appeared to answer a complaint preferred against him by
Mr. W. Stafford, solicitor, for refusing to show his badge
and using offenaive language.—The complainant stated that
he came from Brampton to town by the defendant's omni-
bus, the fare being 3d. to Charieg.cron, as appeared on the
vehicle, in addition to which the def ndant told him he
wnuld set him down there; defendant, however, directed the
driver after pacing the National Gallery to go along Dun-
cannon-street, and although another passenger remonstrated
with him he cri, d out to the driver with an oath that • fel-
low wanted to get out at Charing-cross for 3d.,
and he would nut let him out. There was a lady
sitting close to the door at the time, and upon
complainant demanding to see defendant's badge he refused
to show it, repeating disgusting expressions. Witness was
subsequently set down at Charing-cross, whrn the defendant I
again repeated the same expressions to him.—Mr. Henry
said that since the fares were reduced the greatest impost- 3,
tines were daily practised upon the public, and passengers a
conferred a hem fit upon the public who brought the ottenders
to justice.—The defendant made no reply to either of the 1,
charges.—Mr. Henry said he would have committed him for
two months without inflicting a fine, but no former cornice 11
tion appeared on hi- licence. He should therefore order him 2
to pay a penalty of 2/. for refusing to show his badge, and a ;
further sum of 31. for the abu-ive language, in addition to
which his licence should be suspended for two months. 11
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.—AN Inset:an BErbeß.
A person of stylish appearance begged permission to state a M.,
case of great ill-usage to which he said he had been recently ;
subjected. He had engem d himself as butler to a gentle- g
man living in Kent. On Christmas-eve his muter re-
quested him to go into the kitchen and squeeze a few lemons.
He told his master with great civility that it was not the
place of a butler to go into the kitchen to squeeze lemons, p
and therefore he must beg him to give his orders to some of 3
the inferior servants. His master insisted on his obeying 4
the orders he had given him. He refused decidedly, and ,`
then, as he was about to leave the drawing-room with the
tray, he received a push which so accelerated his pace that
the tray fell out of his hands. His master told him to pick 1
up the fragments of the broken glass and chins, but this
he of course ohjected to, as it was no more the
duty of a butler to perform such a piece of drudgery than it
was to squeeze lemons. His young master then said he must
either be drunk or mad, and insisted that he should go to
bed at once. He refused, and his arms were then pinioned
by his young master, and he was constrained to go to bed.
The next morning he was called into the library, paid his
wages, and ordered to leave the house instanter. He was not
even allowed a servant to carry his luggage. "And Ido
assure your worship," continued the applicant in an indig-
nant tone, "I was obliged to carry my portmanteau and
carpet lug myself for upwards of a mile."—Mr. Bingham:
What is the object of your application to me ?—Applicant :
To know whether I can get any redress for what has been
don e.—Mr. Bingham did not think he bad the smallest
chance of redress. Indeed he might have done as his
master requested him ; squeezing lemons was not a very
degrading employment, even fur a butler. Most probably
when his master engaged him he intended to have the ordi-
nary Services rendered by persons in the applicant's clan of
lie, and though he did not exactly make a schedule of what
was to be done he might very. well expect applicant would
squeeze • few lemons if r, quired.—Butler : But it was to
make punch !—Mr. Bingham did not see that that at all
altered the case. lie recommended him to put up quietly
with the treatment he had received, which the magistrate
thought was no more than most masters would have dons
under the same Mecum- tancee.—The applicant shook his
head, and left the court with the air of a deeply injured in-
MARYLEBONE.— CONVICTION OF A PAWNBROKER.—
Mr. Trail!, a pawnbroker, carrying on business in Cburch•
street, Portman-nr rket, appeared upon two summonses ob-
tained against him by M'Allun, the common informer, to
answer charges against him fee having taken excessive inter-
est upon certain articles pledged at his shop.—ln each case a
penalty of 40s. was inilleted.
WESTMINSTER.—NOVEL SPECIES or DEPREDATION.
—J. Bunce, J. Bailey, and A. Brain, aged respectively 10,
11, and 12 years, were finally examined, charged with steal-
ing a number of brass ornaments from street doors, and
Susan Haworth, who keeps a marine store, in North-
street, Chelsea, with ,eloniuusly receiving a portion of the
property. For a few dove previous to the apprehension of
the prisoners so many enniplaints were made by the resi-
dents of Belgrave-square, Chelsea, and Brompton, of escut-
cheons and other brass ornaments having been stolen from
the street-doors, that it was found necessary to employ a
number of constables specially, with a view of detecting the
offenders. Sergeant Mulcahy, 2 B, having learned that
some boys bad been in the habit of selling such things to the
female prisoner, went to her house, and Mond about twenty
escutcheons and other brass ornaments there, after she had
declared that she had not purchased any such property. He ,
then apprehended the three male prisoners, who admitted
that they bad taken a number of the escutcheons off, but
added that other boys had done the same, and the pr. soner
Bailey gave him a bag containing no less than eighty. ,
Mr. Gameson, on behalf of the female prisoner, said he
was instructed to declare that she had no idea that
the pieces of
,brass, which were of very insignificant value,
were stolen.-Lldr. Broderip observed that the three children
had been led to the commission of the offence by the facilities
afforded at vile house., kept by persons like the female pri-
soner, of disposing of the property. He should direct, in
consideration of the children's tender years, and the circum-
stance of their being unknown to the police, that they be
given over to their parents to receive • sound chastisement,
and that an officer should accompany them home to see that
this was done. He considered that persons such as the
female prisoner were the very nurses of crime. He com-
mitted her for two months to hard labour.
CHARITY.—The magistrates acknowledged the receipt of '1
M. from " E. P." for use poor-box.
SOUTHWARK. THREATENING TO MURDER. —E.
Lattin, described as a man living on his property was
charged with threatening to murder Mrs. Elizabeth Moor,
of Montague-place, Southwark, and attempting to set fire to
her house.—The complainant had previously represented
that the prisoner had threatened to murder her, and had
attempted to set fire to her house, and that she went in

MISCELLANEOUS NEWS.—I nun RAILWATB.—The
followit.g *mars in the Irish Railway Gazette of Jan. 3 :
" Affected injuriously as our railways were by the depres-
sion of the times, still the progress made during the put
year must be gratifying, under the circumstances. We have
opened 11l miles of new railway, as tallow. :—Howth
branch, 3; miler. Great Southern and Western, 561 miles.
Londonderry and Enniskillen, 15 miles. Midland Great
Western, 36 miles. Besides which we have almost ready
for opening nearly 90 additional miles, namely ..—The Bel-
fast and Ballymena (throughout). Ulster Extension (Port-
adorn to Armagh). Great Southern and Western (exten-
sion to Thurles). Waterford and Limerick (Limerick to
Tipperary). These are in almost a complete state, and
ready fur opening, independent of which we may calculate
that during the year the follwing lines will be opened :
Belfast and County Down (to Newtownards and Holywood).
Newry, Warreepoint, and Rostrevor (to Warrenpoint at
least). Dundalk and Enniskillen (from Dundalk to Castle-
blayney). Dublin and Belfast Junction (Drogheda and
Dundalk). Kneen Branch (Drogheda to Navar ). Irish
South-Eastern (Carlow to Kilkenny). Great Southern and
Western (an extension beyond Thurles). Besides the above,
it is re than probable that the Midland Great Western
will open to Mullingar—that the Cork, Blackrock, and Pas-
sage will open to Blackrock if deemed expient to open a
portion before the whole line is completed, and the Water-
ford and Kilkenny are in a position to open shortly between
Kilkenny and Thomastown, only the directors have taken
some unaccountable whim into their heads, and have de-
clared against opening that portion of the line until the por-
tion between Thomastown and Waterford is completed; and
it is beyond our power even to guess when that happy con-
summation may be attained under the present management.
The Cork and Bandon line is in active progress, but we are
not informed whether any portion will be ready for opening
this year or not."
LYONS AND ACIONON.—" Two offers," says the Prcsse,
" were handed in to the Minister of Public Works, to obtain
the concession of the Lyons to Avignon Railway—one by
the Paris to Lyons Railway Company, and the other by
MM. C. Waite, Blount, and Co. It is asserted that M.
Jayr intends to present, immediately after the discussion on
the address, a bill to authorise him to concede the Lyons to
Avignon line direct. He intends also, it is said, to propose
to the Chambers to guarantee to the new company interest at
4 per cent."
BADIN Lfiflll9.—Negotiations respecting the junction of
the Wurtemberg and Baden lines have been resumed on
the part of the government of the former country, which has
given the preference to Bruck's' and the Bretten, as points
of junction, whilst the grand ducal government continues in
favour of Pforzheim.
AIX-LA-CIiArPELLE AND DOBB3IDORP. The second
general meeting of the shareholders of the above line was
held at the latter place on the 30th ult. It appears, by the
report that was read, that numerous calls have not been paid
up, but that, compared with the standing capital of the com-
pany, they are not of mitficient importance to act prejudi-
malty on the continuation of the line. It is expected that
