BncKLtM CO;IIL7T OF • RAILWAY EXOLNY-DILIYER.— -
On Wednesday eeeaiag an alarming accident occurred on
the Manchester and Leeds line of railway, from the mis-
conduct of one of the engine-drivers, a man named Wragg.
It appears that the Yorkshire express train, which left
Manchester at tire o'clock on Wednesday evening, wq•
unusually heavy, owing to the circumstance that the half-
yearly general meeting of the proprietors had been held that
day at Manchester. and by this train a large number of these
geßtlemen, resident in the northern part of Ltiscashiry and
in Yorkshire, were r..tur

hare been much occupied with the details of a eerier of ca-
tenates forgeries alleged to have been committed by one or
other of the partners In en old-established firm of cloth =AU-
fitetuftTS, t-ading at Leeds under the firm of Robert and
Frederick Glover, of Arcdale Mills, and all of whom have
absented themselves from their place of business since the

at the premises of the drawers they were discovered non
set iolVe/IMO. It is said that there are forged bills in circu-
lation to an enormous amount. As the works are now at a

-in order that they may be taken potaradon of for the benefit

be traceable. In the moan time, Donis of the most active

tam, it is cremated so full of strange and startling incidents, t
that it is next to impossible,
,in a reasonable compass, to
sire any generl idea of its subp ct and plot. A gentleman,
Captain L.avrork, attended by • gamekeeper, is shooting
a gips, boy, Lemuel, is poaching, and spoils the gentleman's
sport by killing a hare. They attempt to seize hi- gun, and on
hutment's., he is unmercifully lashed by the Captain with his
ah, and vows &ally revenge. The Captain has a friend,
Alfred, who is snout to marry the lady Agnes' his sister.
The wedding party are on their way to the village ehureh,
amid the acclamations of the eeuntry people, when they ere
startled by the appearance of • eipsy girl, who wildly
addresses the bridegroom, passionately reminding biro of old
love- oetween them. The lady's brother instantly
breaks off the marriage' carries the bride home again, and
demands satisfaction for the insult to his sister. Alfred,
conscious of his fault, humbles himself, and declares that he
will not lift his hand against his friend. Compelled, by insults
and a blow, he accepts the challenge, and they meet. unat-
tended by secands, in a solitary place. Alfred fires in the
air, but • shot from an unseen hand strikes down his anta-
gonist. It is from the reseogeful boy, who hair watched the
cembetiusts from a piece of concealment. Captain Laerock
dies, with his last breath accusing Attred of his murder. The
set has been seen by the gipsy girl's father, Ishmael, from
whom she learns the truth, and determines to try to save
her lover, who has been imprisoned, and is to be brought to
trial. Lemuel, the juvenile murderer, meanwhile, be-
comes subject to fits of terror and remorse, in one
of which he tells the story of his crime to his sweet-
heart, Starlight Bess. Cynthia, the gipoy-girl, over-
hears the confession, and rashes frantically from
her concealment, and, seizing the boy, drags hint by main
force to the courthouse whore Atirede trial is about to
commence, loudly proclaiming her discovery of the criminal.
This alters the course of proceeding; Alfred is acquitted,
and the real murderer, chiefly in consequence of Cynthia's
evidence, is condemned and executed. Cynthia, for the
crime of haying thus sacrificed the life of one of her own
people, is spurned and cast out by her father and tribe ; hut
moved by her tears and supplications, he consent, to receive
bee back, on one condition, that she should kill her faith-
less lover. Alfred (we do not know how) is at this mo-
ment asleep in one of the gipsy tents. He is discovered
lying on a conch ; Cynthia receives from her father's hand
• knife, which she plunges into her own breast instead of
his; end with this catastrophe the piece closes. The prin-
cipal character, Cynthia, was performed by Madame Celeste
with great power, and sometimes great pathos; but
in that overcharted and exaggerated style which con-
stitutes male-dramatic acting. Her wild energy fre-
quently made • strong impression. and her whole
performance was loudly applauded. Equal, if not greater
interest, was excited by Mrs, Fitzwilliam in the serio-comic
part of Be., Starlight. In her archness and naivete in the
lighter mean, and the affecting cantatas of her pleadings
for her unfortunate lover's life, she was equally admirable,
Lemuel, the high-spirited, vindietive boy, was finely repre-
sented by Miss Woolgar, 11110 appeared for the ant tame

with great benefit to the piece. There was some pretty

william, and sung by Mrs. Fitawilliam, Miss Woolgar, and
Mr. Bedford, was full of character, and did the young com-
poser credit. There were some beautiful views of the moun-

MC.ICINNA V. PAPL—ACT OF PAULI CORSTRUS-
TION.—LICIINCIS POI GROCSBISS AND SPIRITS RI =TAIL.
—This writ of error from the Court of Exchequer Chamber
in Ireland WWI argued on the Bth of February. It rosy
be remembered that the plaintiff brought an anion against
an officer of excise in Dublin for refuting to grant him a
license to sell groceries, behaving then a license to sell
spirits
by retail as a publican.
The Lord Chancellor, after shortly stating the facts, said
In moving the judgmet of the house, the question depended
on a clause of an act of parliament, which prohibited a per-
son holding a Beene to sell groceries from selling spirits also
by Beene by retail in the SIMS 1101110 VP is soy place within
a quarter of a mile of the grocery shop ; the plaintiff in this
ease had a publican's tense, authoringhim to retail
spirits, and be applied for a license to sell groceries, which
we the convene of the terms of the prohibition put in the
act ; bat although the terms of the act did not apply directly
to this tee, still there was no doubt the intention of the
legislature wu that no person elionld bold the two licenses,
and to grant the party's application would be contravening
the set of parliament, and win properly refused by the officer.
The action therefor* brought by the plaintiff against ,the
older fur refusing the lieense for sale of groceries was im-
properly brought, and the judgment of the court below to
that Wee Mat be affirmed.—Load Brougham expressed hit
concurrence, and the judgment of the Court of xcheque
in Ireland was affirmed.

sum of more than 4001. paid on the joint account o' the
pariah of St. Stephen and St Bust Shire Hog, which the
Master found to hare been paid, but it could not be allowed
in this account. The defendant, therefore, was a large era-

make had been made, sad therefore he was never called by
any person to show his accounts. The information and bill
prayed that if anything should be found due to Mr. GRAN,
it might be repaid to him out of the corpus of the charity
fund.. He, therefore, waked that the balance found to be
due to him should be so paid, and the his costa should he
paid by the relators and plaintiffs. Mr. Swanton having
been heard in reply,
The Vio•Chancellor said, the accounts of Mr. Gibbs, as
trustee of certain property for the benefit of the parish of St.
Stephen, Wslbrook, had been taken fora period of twenty
years, and the result is, that nothing is found due from
him on the balance, end that, in a sense, a large
sum of between five and six hundred pounds is found doe to
h ; that is, that his expenditure on account of the perish,
and in respect of that trot, has been fund during that
period to have exceeded his payments by that amount
However morally just in a sense may be hi. claim fee repay- '
melt of that balance, I am of opinion that it cannot be
'Hawed to him, and that he must lose it. According to my '
apprehension of the nature of the case, as it is age ed oii afi
hands to be a trust to apply the annual receipts in satisfac-
tion of the manual expenditure, there does not, however un-
fortunate this may be for Mr. Gibbs. exist any fund, and
there is not any personal liability which can be charged in
his favour with this sum; he must, therefore, lose it, and I
so decide. It is said, and truly said, that before and after
the institution of the suit, he chimed a larger sum from the
parish than has since been found to be due to him. It must
be satisfactory to all persona however, if possible, to
write that claim rather to mistake and error than to anent
of integrity; and upon the materials which were before the
master, and are stated to a great extent in his report, it be-
came
probable, and in my mind is probable, to say the least,
that the whole of the amount claimed by Mr. Gibbs had been
expended, though not in a manner which could be allowed
adversely against the parish. It does not therefore follow
that, because the sum due to him—if that expression may be
used—is less than that claimed to be due to him,
there has been any want of pecuniary honesty—if I may use
that phrase—and I see no reason for believing it. I see
reason for believing that there has been • very mistaken
coarse of action, which, as it has happened, has tended to
his disadvantage. lamat • loss to see a estisfactory expla-
nation given for his having allowed a period of twenty years
to pus without having produced or exhibited his accounts.
It may be that he was not asked for them by his colleagues
of the select vestry, but f am of that he ought not to
have waited fur that. The parish at large wu interested in
knowing them, and the neglect of duty on the part of a body
of which he was • member, could be no apology for that
negleet of duty on his part. His Honour then directed theta
the defendants, except Mr. Gibbs and Dr. Croly, should he
dismissed; that Mr. Atkins should neither pay nor receive
casts; and that the accounts mentioned in the former report
should be continued ; as to Dr. Croly's costs, they were to be
received out of the unreoeived dividends, and that the
balance of such dividends, if any, should pin part discharge
of the bateau found due to Mr. Gibbs.

time before her son Joseph died, that the prisoner asked her
to buy her twopaanyworth of arsenic when she went to
Newport. The deceased shortly afterwards applied to her
for the arenas, and said he bed been seat by mother ;
but she told him she had not bought the poison, and re-
turned the money. Cross-examined: The prisoner had
several other childrea, and she always appeared to be very
kind to them. She complained of being overrun with rats,
when she wanted her to get the poison.—Williain Law, a
rat-catcher, deposed that the prisoner, about the same time.

did not do so. She said she wanted to lay it for rats
Crean-examined : lie believed there were a great many rats
