INSTITUTION OF CIVIL ENGINEERS.
On Tuesday
(James M. Ronde!, Esq., President, in
the chair), the Piper read was " Tne Economy of Rail-
ways, as a Means of transit, comprising the classification
of the traffic, in relation to the most appropriate speeds
for the conveyance of passengers and merchandize," by
Mr. Braithwaite Poole, Assoc. Inst. C. E.
After referrini
to the influence which cheap and
rapid communications had on the prosperity of a na-
tion, the anther alluded to the rise of the railway
system in this country, expressing the belief, that it
would have been economical and wise if the Legislature
had, in the first instance, determined the line on which
the system of railways should have been constructed
throughout the kingdom, so as to have avoided the
present ruinous competition. Tne passenger traffic now
exceeded, autually, four times the entire population of
Great Britain, and was conveyed at three times the
speed and one-third the fares formerly charged by the
old stage, or mail coaches, whilst the cost of conveyance
of merchandise, minerals, and agricultural produce had
rthings to
been reduced full fifty per cent., as compared with the
rates charged on canals and turnpike roads fifteen years
ago. The ordinary fares for passengers ranged from
twopence tbree-fa
a halfpenny per mile, and
for merchandise from one penny to 6d. per ton per mile.
which might be introduced into the working of
The author then proceeded to consider the economy
railways, and divided the subject into sixteen diffe-
rent heads, each of which referred to some particu-
lar point, where it was thought a reduction of expenses
might be made. The principal point advanced was the
amalgamating, or working, of all the railways in four
great divisions, and ensuring unity of management in
every department, in the maintenance of the permanent
way, and of the rolling stock, as well as in their
manufacture, several improvements in the construc-
tion of the waggons being suggested. It a general
classification of trains were arranged throughout
the kingdom, separating each class, and running
them at different speeds whenever practicable, it
was thought that it would be conducive to the interest
of all parties, as it was urged to be a manifest injustice
towards those who paid the highest fares, to find third-
class
passengers arriving arrreigvuiniagritay requited to be strictly t the same time with them.
Punctuality
at-
tended to for the maintenance of a certain definite speed.
Numerous instances were adduced to show the vast
advantages and economy of the railway system, without
which the penny postage could not have been achieved,
or the Great Exhibition rendered available to the multi-
tude; tho produce of the land and sea in vegetables,
fruit, meat, fish, all provisions and fuel, would have re-
mained as limited in consumption as heretofore; and the
poor man's fireside in the rural districts would never
have been warmed by coal. _ _

The. paper announced to be read at the meeting of
Tuesday, April 27th, Railway Accideets, their

the various contrivances which are in use, and have
been proposed, with the regulations of some of the

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
VICE CHANCELLOR'S COURT, April 24.
(I.3Bfore Vice-Chancellor TURNER.)
LUMLEY V. WAGNER -HER MAJESTY S THEATRE AND THE

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.
It being undeNtoud that on application would be
mldo this morning to dissolve the injunction which was
granted yesterday against Madlle. Wagner and Mr.
Gye, the court was crowded at an early hour by persons
anxious to hear the answer which would be made to the
affidavit of Mr. Lumley read yesterday in court. The
public anxiety was, however, disappointed, for no men-
tion was made of the case during the day, and though,
es wo are informed, the defendants had been engaged
during the whole of the night in preparing affidavits,
i
none had been filed n the case at the time of the rising
of the Court. The minutes of the order of yesterday
have been served on Mr. Gye personally, and on
the solicitor of Mademoiselle Wagner, and on
the part of the defendants, a notice of motion to dis-
solve the injunction was served on Mr. Lumley's solicitor
so late as eleven o'clock last night. At this point
the matter rests for th., present.

Mr. Justice ERLE. and Mr. Justice WILLIAms )
TEE QUEEN Z. NASH
Mr. H. T. COLE stated that in this case he had at-
tended before the Recorder, and suggested to him that
the case should be amended; his Lordship had kinily
attended to his request, and had amended the case, 'but
he (Ur. Cole) had not received it till late last night,
He had not, therefore had an opportunity of altering
the case which had been laid before their Lordships.
He would therefore submit that the case might stand
over.

Mr. HUDDLESTONE said, as the case bad been altered,
it presented a different feature for consideration, and law
was not, therefore, now prepared to argue it.
The COURT directed that it should stand over.

ARCH COURT, April 24.
(Before Sir J. DoDBoN )
THE OFFICE OF THE JUDGE PROMOTED BY HODGSON

AGAINST GLADSTONE.
Mr. Gladstone appeared when this case was called on,
and,addressing
exprebsed his regret that he
wasnot
prepareldhe g
tojuhdaned, iu his allegation, as he had
been admonished to do. The allegation was of great
importance in reference to the trial of the case. The
documents which he had to consult and to procure, es-
pecially with reference to the time of his residence in
the diocese of Norwich and his incumbency there, were
voluminous, and he prayed to be allowed to deliver in
his allegation on the next court day, Monday, May 3.
Sir J. DODSON said he would so far indulge Mr.
Gladstone as to give him till Thursday, April 29, to
deliver his allegation, if ha would undertake to be ready
then.

Mr. Gladstone gave the required undertaking, and so
,he matter rests for the prt,seor.

POLICE IN TEL LIGENCE.
MARYLEBONE.
Mr. Charles K rnble, the veteran actor, attended at
this court, before &tr. Long, in pursuance of a summons
obtained against him by a cabman named St}les, the
amount of who:.e claim agtinst defendant was 2d.
Mr. Kemblo, who looked remarkably well, took his
seat by the bench.

Complainant stated that on last Monday week he took
up defendant in the Old Bailey, and drove him to his
residence, No. 6, Albany-terrace, Regent's-park, where
he alighted, and the servant who opened the door for him
gave him (witness) is. 6d. as his fare. He observed that
he was entitled to Is. Bd., upon which the servant went
into the passage to speak to his master, and presently
returned, telling him (complainant) that he would have
no more. Complainant added, that having ascertained
the name of his fare, be wont away, and shortly after-
wards spoke to some cabmen upon an adjacent rank, and
he felt bound in justice to himself to take out a sum-
mons; the distance fur which he claimed was two miles
and a quarter.
Thomas Chamberlain, Mr. Kemblo's servant, deposed
that complainant made a positive demand of 25.; had he
mentioned that his fare was lg. Bd., the extra 2d. would
in a moment have been paid to him.
Mr. LONG felt satisfied from what he had heard that
complainant would, if he 'awl demanded his proper faro
only, readily hare had the same paid to him, and or-
dered that he should receive the 2d. which he sued for
but he would not under the circumstances be allowed
any costs, either as regarded what be had paid for the
summons or for his attendance.

a singular-looking old
woman, who shut five years ago acquired considerable
notoriety by her commitment from thii court on a charge
of wilful murder, iu having caused the desth of a re-
spectable young woman, by using instruments to cause
abortion, but

plied to the Hon. G. C. Norton for protection against a
young man, whom she had brought up from infancy-,

plicant said that the young man had been for some time

than one occasion attempted suicide. Latterly, however,
his malady had taken a different turn, and ho now de-
