RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE-

SOUTII-ILISTERN.
The report of Mr. Ashcroft, the engineer, stated
with respect to the construction of this company's
Lewisham and Tonbridge line that the first section
of it, from the Greenwich junction to Chiselhurst,
was passed by the Government Inspector on the Ist
of June last, and was now being daily worked for
' passenger traffic. The earthworks onwards between
Chiselhurst and Orpington were progressing in a
satisfactory manner. Out of 780,000 cubic yards
of earthwork 350,000 had been tipped into the Or-
pington great embankment, leaving 430,000 yet to
remove to complete that work. The cutting between
Orpington and Chelsfield was completed, except
about 6000 cubic yards at the south end of the
tunnel. The length of the Chelsfield tunnel would
be 594 yards, of which 429 were completed. The
brickwork was being proceeded with at the rate of
15 yards per week. In the cutting between Chels-
field and Polhill tunnels about 50,000 cubic yards of 1
excavation had been carried to spoil, and there yet
remained to be removed 450,000 cubic yards. This
cutting formed the key to the finishing and opening
of the line to Sevenoaks. The Polhill tunnel would
be 2,530 yards in length, of which 1,146 yards were
finished and bricked in, and the rest was advancing
at the rate of 30 yards per week. The works be-
tween Polhill and Sevenoaks tunnel were in a for-
ward state. The stone cutting at the north end of
Sevenoaks tunnel contained 355,000 cubic yards,
of which about 140,000 cubic yards remained to
be removed. The Sevenoaks tunnel, when corn-
Pll,e3te62c-I,yalvrocis were would be 3,4. 51 yards in length, of which

The gross traffic received on this company's line
between Vera Cruz and Paso del Macho, 47 miles
in length, amounted for the month of April to
£6,995, for the month of May to £8,481, and for
the month of June to £8,412, making together
£23,888, being at the rate of £39 per mile per

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.
Fresh up to our market, to-day, the arrivals of English
wheat were very moderate. The trade, both for red and
white qualities, ruled heavy, at Monday's decline in the
quotations. Some of the new wheats were received in fair
condition.
With foreign wheat the market was well supplied.
Most descriptions were in slow request, at the recent de-
cline in prices.
Floating cargoes of wheat were dull, at Monday's cur-
rency. Spring corn, afloat, fairly supported previous
rates.

Barley was in short supply. The trade, however, was
very quiet, on former terms.
The malt trade was quiet, at about stationary prices.
The supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. For
most qualities there was a fair demand, at full quotations.
Beans were in slow request, 1 late rates. For peas
trade was dull, and prices had a downward tendency.
Most descriptions of flour moved off slowly, at abSt-
Monday's currency.

food ; and that a man named Samuel Seamans, a
jobbing butcher, of lloldsworth, Suffolk, was tried
before Mt. Commissioner Kerr, at the Central
Criminal Court, for sending a quantity of diseased '
meat to Newgate-market for sale as human food ;
and although there was abundant proof that the
~' meat was diseased, and that the defendant knew it
.to be diseased, and that he sent it to the market,
, yet he was acquitted, and the case has been a
subject of comment in the public papers. In the
course of the past seven weeks there had been 259
births and 296 deaths registered in the City' of
London. The mortality returns were very much
below the average (346) for the corresponding
period of the last nine years, and excepting that
there had been a very slight excess in the pro-
portion of fever deaths, there had been no
particular manifestation of zymotic disease-122,
or nearly one-half of all the deaths, were among
children of less than 5 years of age, and 55 were
among persons of GO and upwards. The chief
causes of death were as follow :—Phthisis, 27 ;
atrophy and mesenteric disease, 36; hydrocephalus,
6 ; pneumonia, 9 ; bronchitis, 13 ; continued fever,
17 ; scarlet fever, 10 ; whooping cough, 9 ; croup
and diphtheria, 7 ; measles, smallpox, and erysipe-
las, of each 1 ; diarrhoea--of adults, 4, and of in-
fants, 21—making together 69 deaths from tuber-
cular diseases, and 70 from diseases of a zymotic
character. The average number of the last class of
diseases for the same period in 10 years is 90, and
therefore there had been no remarkable activity of
the zymotic force during the last seven weeks—
indeed, he had no apprehension of an approach of
cholera, notwithstanding that it had been pre-
sent in an epidemic form in the _ eastern arm of
the Mediterranean, for the disease had not exhibited
a single sign of the many which characterised -
it in its former visitation ; but of this he should re-
port more fully at the end of the quarter.

From Newhaven to Dieppe.

On Saturday last a steamship race of great inte-
terest in the present state of naval architecture took
place on the passage across the Channel between
Newhaven and Dieppe, under circumstances very
' similar to those described in The Sun a year ago,
in the case of a steaming contest between the Mar-
seilles and the Alexandria. The new vessel, named
the Bordeaux, tried for the first time on Saturday,
belongs, as in the former case, jointly to the London
and Brighton Company and to the French company
whose lines run from Dieppe to Paris in connection
with the English company, and has been built and
engined by Mr. C. Lungley, at Deptford-green,
whose method of constructing fast steamers was so
signally successful in the case of the Marseilles. The
great interest of the trial lies mainly in the fact that
the new sectional form of bow, which has been in-
troduced in her Majesty's paddle despatch steamer
Helicon with marked advantage, and likewise in the
armour-clad frigates Bellerophon, Pallas, Lord
Clyde, &c., has been adopted independently and
simultaneously by Mr. Lungley with remarkably
good results. The Bordeaux has been built not for
speed or even for passenger traffic exclusively, but
to combine with these a great cargo-carrying power,
which is becoming continually more and more ne-
cessary on theNewhavenaudDieppelinc of steamers,
owing to the great development of trade between
England and France that has marked the progress
of the last two or three years. She is 210 ft. long, of
23ift. beam, 1 lft. in depth, tonnage 576 (builder's
measurement), and fitted with engines of 180-horse
power (nominal), on the oscillating principle, with
brass tubular boilers and patent feathering floats,
the engines as well as the ship having been constructed
at Mr. Lungley's establishment. The vessel selected
to compete with the Bordeaux was the Lyons, a
very fast steamer, built, with almost exclusive re-
gard to speed, by the late firm of Messrs. Scott Rus-
sell and Co., and now furnished with new and power-
ful boilers to prepare her for this trial. The two
vessels left Newhaven about 11 a.m., the Lyons hav-
ing the advantage by about two minutes, and when
the more burdensome and commodious Bordeaux fol-
lowed it involved a reversal of all old-established ideas
of shipbuilding to suppose that she could ever over-
take, even with so slight a difference at starting, the
sharper and fleeter-looking vessel. A very shorttime,
however, sufficed to enable the Bordeaux to over-
haul the Lyons ; but she had scarcely done so before
some cause for a temporary stoppage of the former
ship arose, and she was soon left far behind. This
incident, however, only showed the new vessel to
greater advantage, for after again starting oo her
stern chase she gradually drew up to her competitor,
passed her, and entered Dieppe harbour at least 17
minutes in advance of her, and a crowd of specta-
tors who cheered her arrival, which was succeeded
by an international dinner and display of fireworks.

BOW-STREET.

A woman, named Ann Jarman, was placed before Mr.
Vaughan, on remand, charged with attempting to obtain
money from the secretary of the British Lying-in Hospital,
Endell-street, by false representations.
According to the evidence, the prisoner first applied for
admission in July last as an in-patient. She represented
herself as Mrs. Rogers, living at 12, Little Titchfield-
street, Tottenham-court-road, and produced a mar-
riage certificate. This was a genuine document,
but it related to a former husband of the prisoner.
She afterwards called again, giving her true name, and
representing that she was the sister of Mrs. Rogers, who
had been prematurely confined and could not be removed
to the hospital. On this pretence she applied for pecuniary
assistance, which the board granted ; and the secretary
was about to carry out the directions of the board,
when a nurse, who had been previously despatched
to make inquiries, returned and told him the whole story
was untrue. The landlady of the house, No. 12, Titch-
field-street, said the prisoner had never been a tenant of
hers, and that she knew nothing of her.
The step-daughter of the prisoner had truthfully
answered certain questions put to her by the nurse, and
when the prisoner returned home she called the girl
some very violent names, and ultimately turned her out of
doors.
The prisoner was fully committed for trial.

. _
The constable asked what was to be done with the wit-
ness; she could not go back to her father, and she ob-
jected to go back to the workhouse, where she had been
staying for the last week.
Mr. Vaughan—What is your objection to the work-
house ?

The Girl—l can't stand the living ; it's so poor—not ea,
nothing but bread and gruel.
Mr. Vaughan—What are you ?
The Girl—A servant out of place. lam going to my
relations in the country after this case is over, but I have
nothing to support myself unt:l that time.
Mr. Vaughan then put several questions to the girl, after
which the constable said his wife would take care of her
if she had none of her own she could go to. The magistrate
assented to such an arrangement, and told the constable to
get the girl a pair of boots, as he was informed she was
nearly destitute of these articles.

John Burgess, who stands charged with robbing his em-
ployer, Mr. Loewenstark, a manufacturing jeweller, carry-
ing on business at Garrick-street and Devereux-court,
Strand, was again placed at the bar.
' Mr, Lewis,` who appeared for the prosecution, said he
had to apply for summonses against two material witnesses
whom he could not otherwise get in attendance, and, there-
fore, he must also ask for another remand.
Mr. Abrams, who defended the prisoner, said he had no
objection to such a course, but he presumed his client would
be again admitted to bail.
The sureties of the prisoner were then renewed, and he
was ordered to attend this day week.

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.

Fresh up to our market, to-day, the arrivals of English
wheat were very moderate. The trade, both for red and
white qualities, ruled heavy, at Monday's decline in the
quotations. Some of the new wheats were received in fair
condition.
With foreign wheat the market was well supplied.
Most descriptions were in slow request, at the recent de-
cline in prices.
Floating cargoes of wheat were dull, at Monday's cur-
rency. Spring corn, afloat, fairly supported previous
rates.
Barley was in short supply. The trade, however, was
very quiet, on former terms.
The malt trade was quiet, at about stationary prices.
The supply of oats on sale was tolerably large. For
most qualities there was a fair demand, at full quotations.
Beans were in slow request, at late rates. For peas the
trade was dull, and prices had a downward tendency.
Most descriptions of flour moved off slowly, at about
Monday's currency.

ATTEMPT TO STAB A POLICE-SERGEANT.-Patrick
Mooney, an Irish ballast getter, aged 19, was brought
before Mr. Paget charged with attempting to stab Timothy
Cox, a police-sergeant, No. 45 K.

William Tye, a police-constable, No. 87 K, stated that
yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock, he was on duty in Butcher-
row, Rateliff, and saw the prisoner, who was drunk and
disorderly and brandishing a large bread knife, used by a
baker in cutting up bread. Sergeant Cox was remonstrat-
ing with the prisoner and begged him to go away. The
prisoner made use of foul language and threats, and made
an attempt to cut dqwn the sergeant with the knife, in
which he nearly succeeded. Ho immediately drew his
truncheon and struck the knife out of the prisoner's hand.
He closed upon the prisoner and took him into custody. A
violent and determined resistance was made by the pri-
soner, and it required the united exertions of five police-
men to remove him to the station house.

Sergeant Cox, a very tall and large man, who is one of
the best officers in the force, and a very humane man, said
when he spoke to the prisoner he called out " You -
I'll rip your guts out," and struck him with the knife close
to the left hip. The blow was stopped by his belt, which
was cut. The knife had been stolen by the prisoner out of
a baker's shop, where he asked for a loaf of broad, and, on
being refused, took away the knife.
Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial.

A DANGEROUS Sun> THlEF.—William Brown, aged 19,
described as a seaman, was brought up on remand before
Mr. Paget, charged with stealing a silver watch and £5,
the property and money of Richard Warnes, of the steam-
ship Killingsworth.
The steamer was lying off Messrs. Charrington's coal
wharf in Ratcliff a few weeks ago, and the prisoner shipped
with the avowed intention of proceeding on her intended
voyage. He was in the forecastle one day when Warnes
changed his clothes, and knew he had a watch and money.
On the following day the prisoner absconded from the
ship, and Warms missed his watch and money. Hugh
Andrews, a police-constable, apprehended the prisoner on
another charge of robbery. He was then in very disre-
putable company, who had helped him to spend the pro-
ceeds of both robberies. Only one charge, the robbery on
board the Killingsworth was entered upon, and that was
clearly made out against the prisoner. Andrews proved a
former conviction against the prisoner. He was sum-
marily convicted under the Criminal Justice Act, and sen-
tenced to six months' imprisonment and hard labour. It
was stated by Roche, the gaoler of the court, who has an
excellent recollection of faces, that the prisoner had entered
on board several vessels, not to go to sea, but to commit
robberies, and that he was a very dangerous fellow.
Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial.

lately.
Mr. Arnold—l should not think drunkenness did it much
good?

Defendant—l hope not.
Mr. Arnold—You are not content with getting drunk
outside the house but take spirits into it, an offence which
I must punish.
Defendant—l had got a job to do, and I thought I might
as well take a little gin in with me.
Mr. Arnold—You must have been perfectly aware that
it was contrary to the regulations. I must commit you for
seven days.

THE MATE OF A VESSEL BURNT •TO DEATH.—
Early on Friday morning a fire was discovered in
the after cabin of the brigantine William, a collier lying at
the Commercial 'Wharf, West Cowes. The crew were im-
mediately roused, and the vessel, being on the outside, was I
soon hauled off into the river. The flames were subdued
in about half an hour, when the cabin was entered, and it
was then found that the mate, James Penfold, had been
burnt to death. An inquest was held the same day, when
it appeared that he returned on board between twelve and
one o'clock on Friday morning partially intoxicated. He
asked some of the crew who were on deck for tobacco, but
they did not give him any, and he went below, where they
observed that he wanted the candle and some supper.
There is little doubt that he accidentally set fire to his

cabin, as shortly afterwards smoke came up the hatchway.
The sailors attempted to descend in search of him, bui
were driven back by the smoke. A verdict of accidents:
death was returned.
