AN IMPORTANT CASE IN RAILWAY GOODS CON-
VEYANCE, and of serious interest to the farmers, butchers,
dte., of the west of England in particular, hu, after occupy-
lug the attention of the court for several successive ad-
journments, just been d:cided by J. (J. Smith, Esq., judge
of the Bath County Court. The action was brought by Mr.
Parker, the well-known carrier. against the Great Western
Railway Company, to recover H. 40. Gd. for alleged damages
done to several packages of goods sent by the company's
goods trains from Bath to London, tl'e question to be tried
being whether the company were liable for the breakage of
• crate of earthenware, and the loos 'ingrained in the sale
of several hampers of meat through delay in the delivery.
His Honour, after hearing tho evidence upon the legal
points, stated his opinion that the delays were not the re-
sult of accident, or such as could be deemed unavoidable,
but were owing to mismanagement. It had been proved
that the railways in the north and cast habitually delivered
meat in time for the day's market in London, and it was
also proved that the Great Western Company habitually
neglected to do so. This question, therefore, became one
of great importance to the farmers and agriculturists of
this part of the kingdom, the west of England being in fact
shut out of the Landon market by tho neghgenco of the
railway company, whilst a monopoly was given to the
eastern and northern pare of the kingdom. lie held that
both in law and equity the company were liable to Mr.
Parker for the damage he had sustained. Judgment for
plaintiff, with full costs. The decision was received with
loud applause by a crowded court.
THE ORIENTAL COMPANY'S STEAMER &ZINN,

WEST FLANDERS RAILWAY.

Yesterday the half•yearly meeting of this company
was held at the office inMoorgate-street. W. P. Ittcnknne,
En., took the chair.
1 he report (the substance of which appeared in Tuesday's
Express)) having been read,
The CHAIRMAN hoped the meeting would give them
credit for the great economy which had been practised in
the management. The directors had expected that a con-
siderable revenue would have arrived from visitors to
the Great Exhibition, but it had not turned out as ex-
pected. It was to be regretted that a scheme which would
have induced the public to come forward had not been
sanctioned by the Belgian senate, through the opposition
of a strong patty inimical to the government.
The report was adopted, and the dividend of la 9d. per
share was agreed to.
Atter some observations from Mr. Bestir... Tit as to the
accounts,

The !heeling passed a vote of thanks to the chairman sad
directors, and then adjourned.

TESTIMONIAL TO Ma. BUNTING.—The council of
the National Reform Aa'ociati n have presented a testimo-
rind, in the form of a very elegant silver inkstand, to Mr.
C. J. Bunting, of Norwich, bearing the following brief but I
appropriate inscription, viz.: " The National Parliamentary
Reform Association to the Norwich Operative, 1831." This
acknowledgment of the services of Mr. Booting in the
cau,e of reform was accompanied by the following letter
from the president : "11, Poultry, London, Nov. a, 1861.
'.My dear Sir,—As the President of the National Parlia-
mentary Reform Association, I have to tender for your
acceptance, in the name of that body, the accompanying
silver inkstand, which has been unanimously voted by the
council as a small but sincere testimony to the earnest.-
MIA and ability with which you have advocated,
in your writings, and recently in the valuable lecture
' delivered at the London Tavern, the claims of the indus-
' trial classes to the elective franchise. That your health
may be continued to prosecute these useful labours, and
that they mar soon be crowned with complete suceess, is
the sincere wish of, my dear sir, yours faithfully, JOSHUA
WALMSLET. Mr. C. J. Bunting."—The lecture referred
to by Sir Joshua Walmsley was delivered by Mr. Bunting
at one of the monthly soin•es of the associauor. The teat
of the Norwich operative on that occasion was, "The pre-
valent objections to the enfranchisement of the working
classes."

PIEDMONT.

A letter from San Itemo, in the Genoa Gazette,
states that a second shock of earthquake was felt
there on the 26th ult., thirteen days after the first
one. The motion was undulatory at the outset, but
afterwards changed to a subsaltory one ; it lasted six
seconds. The sky was clear at the time, and the
heat had been excessive for the season during the
two preceding days.

THIS DAY.

Two o'CLocx.

There is a slight increase of activity in the share
market, as compared with the quiet state of business
for some days past, but the transactions are still far
from extensive. Generally the feeling of the market
is decidedly better, a sensible advance having taken
place in most descriptions, including, more especi-
ally, Caledonians, Great Northerns, Lancashire and
Yorkshires, North Westerns, South Westerns, Mid-
lands, and South Easterns. The Eastern lounties'
receipts for the last week are 15,5051., against
14,875/. last year, being an increase of H3Ol.
Preference shares continue to command a fair
amount of attention, and realise full prices.
In French shares there is not much doing, but the
market is firm, and Boulogne and Amiens and North-
ern of France, which are the descriptions most dealt
in, are well supported.

MINCINO-LANE.-THIS DAY.

SUGAR. —The public salea have been rather large to-
day, say 11,500 bags Mauritius, and 2,500 bags Madras,
which exceeded the demand, but the importers bought in
largely, and sustained prices. The result of the week
shows that prices have been maintained with a limited
amount of business done. Refined continues dull; grocery
lumps, fair to fine, are quoted the name as last Friday, 48s.
to 505., but Ma few instances 475. fid. has been accepted for
verb low brown.
COFFEE.—This article has been very dull, and good ordi-
nary native Ceylon is quoted dull of sale at 405., which is
2s. lower than last Friday. Plantation Ceylon sold heavily
at thecummeneement of the week at the same reduction, bat
buyers have shown more confidence to-day. Mocha has sold
at 2s. advance, the non-alteration of the duties in the re-
newed budget having favoured this description. Foreign
has been chiefly bought in by importers at full prices.
TEA.—This article has been steady during the week, with
a full amount of business done. Coalition Congou sold in
public sale at a slight advance, Is. lil. to Is. jd. Other de—
scriptions at previous rates.
l'istr.Nro.-000 bags sold in public sale at full prices,
41 to 41 per lb.
Splitirs.—Rum and Brandy continue dull of sale; prices
nominally the same as last week.
$ ttreartie.—The fine qualities have sold at previous
rates ; inferior bought in at the public sales to prevent a
decline.

CUTTON.—This article has been dull of sale, and prices
ire a shade lower.

FaclT.—Currants continue dull; prices are rather lower;
940 packages were offered in public sale, and chiefly bought
in; a few sold from 325. to 345. Raisins: a limited
business has been done at last week's prices. For other
kinds of fruit the market is very dull.
Race remains quoted the same as last week, with but a
small amount of business done.
INinou has limn dull of sale; prices nominally the same.
In other articles no material alteration, but markets ge-
nerally have been dull.

GREECE AND TILE LEVANT.

We have received by the Levant mail Athens
journals to the 28th ult. inclusively. They do not
confirm the news received by Trieste of the dissolu-
tion of the Chamber of Representatives, in conse-
quence of a severe check received by the ministry in
the discussion on the elections; but we find, by the
report of the proceedings in the Chamber, that the
ministry had received more than one check, and that
a dissolution was probable. As the news from
Trieste gave no date for the dissolution, we cannot
conclude from the journals that it has not taken
place.
The Vienna Gazette of the 3rd says: "Prince
Leopold of Bavaria and his wife formally refuse to
accept the crown of Greece for their eldest son, after
the death of King Otho, union Art. 40 of the Greek
constitution, which retrives fist the King should

Martha Harlington, one of the young women concerned
with Dr. Gray Smythe in conspiring to effect the seduction
of some of the girls who were his victims, was placed at the
bar, a bill for conspiracy having been found against her.
No esidence being offered, she was acquitted.
Sarah lVhitethurn, 73, widow, • repulsive-looking old
woman, was indicted for the manslaughter of H. Greenaway.
Mr. lludillestone and Mr. Itebton prosecuted.
The facts of the zass have already appeared at some length
in the police reports, and it will be recollected that the pri-
soner was one of the nurses in the Camberwell Workhouse,
and had under her care the deceased, • child not quite two
years of age. On the night of March 26, the child, which had
been suffering from diarrhea, was very restless, and wanted
some drink ; but prisoner not giving it enough, it continued
to cry, when the prisoner beat it, and put it to bed; later in the
1 night the child continued to cry, and crawled from where it
lay and fell out of bed. Prisoner took it up and threw it with
violence into the bed, and its head struck against the head
of the bedstead, which is iron. The child was for some
time insensible, and after it had come to and cried the pri-
soner beat and pinched it, and some one saying that she
would kill it, the prisoner said, " A d—d good job, too ;" It
languished for two days, and died.
Um medical evidence proved that the child was much
bruised and pinched, and that the cause of death was the
rupture of a blood-vessel in the head, arising from same
violence done to the head.
The prisoner said the child injured itself by falling from
the bed.
Mr. Baron Martin having summed up,
The jury found the prisoner Guilty.
She woe 'Wawa to 11kmonthe imprisonment and hard

The Hanoverian correspondent of the lkutschel

Lord Cowley and the Marquis Tallenay have received i
instructions from their respective governments to
leave Frankfort the moment the question of the in- I
corporation of the Austrian provinces in the Band I
may be mooted at the Diet. A Russian note on the
subject of the incorporation rather favouring than
discouraging the project has, it is said, been received
at Vienna. (Previous accounts have stated that
Russia had advised non-persistence in the project.)
In a general assembly of the Protective A'eretn at
Frankfre, under the presidency of Prince Ho-
henlolie, it was unanimously resolved to use
all possible means to bring about a 'Loll Union
with Austria. A consistory of Prussian Puscy-
-1 ite (called Evangelical) clergy at Konigsberg,

The interpreter of the police, Suffer Ally, told two i
accomplices, had been convicted of the murder of the
Arab hoe, and were ull three executed on the 28th
alt. The principal topic of excitement has been the
disturbed state of the interior of the island, in con-
sequence of the heathen Chinese having leagued to-
, 'ether to murder or kidnap the Christian (Roman
catholic) Chinese, of which a great number I
employ themselves as pepper and gambler
planters. Many of their plantations have been
destroyed, and such Was the formidable resistance
shown to the police—who shot a great number of
the rioters—that the military were called out, and
have been placed in the district mostly inhabited by
the Christian Chinese. This alarming movement has
attracted general attention, and that of the executive,
to the existence and spreading influence of the Hueys,
or secret societies of the Chinese, whose proceedings
have for a time so interrupted agricultural operations
as almost to stop the staple articles of our export.
Fur the present government has made a sort of com-
promise, granting an amnesty to the Huey confede-
rates on condition of their ceasing to annoy their
Christian countrymen.

after a severe illness, in the 411th year of his age. Ile
was a brave and gallant officer, and an ornament to
the service. The news from Sanbach nod Puntianak
was satisfactory ; the insurgents had returned to
their peaceful avocations. The envoys sent by the'
Chinese were courteously received by the Dutch re- •
sident ; accompanied by that functionary- they were
to proceed to Batavia, to do homage to the governor-
general, and on the Ist inst. the Phenix steamer ar-
rived here with the deputation on board. Every-
thing has been arranged to the satisfaction of the

Soon after the learned judges took their seats on

the opportunity of informing the bar that the court would
sit as usual on Thursday next, notwithstanding "the
World's great Holiday." His lordship said he had thought
lit right to give that notice ; he, as also his learned
[ brothers, wished al honour to be done, and car-
I ntxtly desired that success should attend the Great
Exhibition, and he trusted that the benefits expected
from it would be realised by this country and all
other nations in the world. But, in the meantime, he
did not think that the administration of justice in West-
minster-hall should in any way be impeded or suspended ;
there was a very considerable amount of arrest of business
before the ccnirt, and he, as also his learned brothers,
thought they should be best doing their duty to the public
by applying themselves to the reduction of that arrest, and

little complete model, about a foot long, is set up on!
a stand to guide the modellers. Singular and gro-
tesque is the effect of the half-finished figures, and
when you see the gracious heard and corselet of
Henri IV. quite smoothly moulded off while his
bowels of straw arc waiting for their clay integu-
ments, you are surprised that the artist can look so
earnest during the incomplete stages of his own
work. On the whole, one comes away from this
prodigious perspective with a feeling of contentment
that all the halt a million of francs voted for thefetc
is not spent is lamps and fireworks, and that some
hundreds of ingenious fellows are employed upon
classical, although ephemeral creations, and you are
struck with a respectful marvel of how much can be
done in a few hours to affect the mind artfully with
such coarse materials managed with skill and taste.
