LAW INTELLIGENCE—Nov. 25.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.
THE QUEEN (ON THE PROSECUTION OF THE HON. F, SCOTT)
V. W. HARRISON. - CRIMINAL INFORMATION AGAINST
THE " TIMES."
The Attorney-General moved, on behalf of the Hon.
Francis Scott and some other gentlemen, for a rule
calling upon Mr. William Harrison, the printer and
publisher of the Times newspaper, to show cause why a
criminal information for a libel should not be issued
xagainst bim. This application arose out of an article
which appeared in the Times reflecting, as these gentle-
men thought, and he must say with truth, very severely
upon their characters. The applicants were the chairman
and the directors of the South-Western Railway Com-
ny, and it was necessary for him to make a short
stpaatement of the facts to which the article referred. The
South-Western Company were the proprietors of a line
of railway running between Southampton and Dorchester.
In the commencement of the year it was pan oposed by
the Great Western Company, whose line r through
Dorsetshire from north to south, while the South-Western
line ran from east to west, to make an application to
Parliament for a bill to enable them to make a line be-
tween Dorchester and Exeter.
Lord Campbell said an objection had been suggested
by the officer of the court against moving for a criminal
information on the lama ay of term. An application for
a mandamus, or a hibition might he made, but lie
believed it was the rule that the learned counsel could
only mention that he intended to apply for a criminal
information.
The Attorney-General said the rule had probably been
made when there was a pressure of business.
Lord Campbell said it had existed from the most re-
mote times, when the Queen's Bench did not sit half the
time it might have done.
Mr. Justice Coleridge—lt is probably on account of
the length of time before cause can be shown.
Lord Campbell—There is another reason. T'nis is a
very solemn proceeding, and it is supposed there may be
a great deal of hurry on the last day of the term, and
we ought to have abundant time to consider before we
exercise the important power that is vested in us.
The Attorney-General said the great object of his
clients was not to press vindictively against the news-
paper, but to clear themselves.
Mr. Justice Coleridge remembered several instances
in which learned counsel had mentioned that they in-
tended to move. The Attorney-General would answer
his purpose by doing so.
Lord Campbell—We may consider whether the rule
ought to be altered, but while it remains in force we
must abide by it.
The Attorney-General might be allowed to say that his
affidavits contained the most complete refutation of all
the imputations contained in the article. After what
had fallen from the court, he would not now press his
motion.

GORLESTON, NEAR YARMOUTH.

There have been six deaths, with 7 or eight other
cases in this village, but happily the change of weather
appears to have caused a subsidence of the epidemic.
It is to be hoped that advantage will be taken of this
circumstance to remove the nuisance which exist in the
locality where the disease has shown itself.

SOHAN.
Mr. Lee states that during his inspection of Soham
he found the course taken at Newcastle, and other
places in the north, of burying with fresh earth nuisances
which it would have been dangerous to remove during
the pestilence, had been almost universally adopted.
The result had been perfectly satisfactory.

TEE ROYAL SOCIETY.

of the session for 1853-4 was held
yesterday ; P•
The first meeting
reti W allich, vice. president in the chair. A.
great number of presents were announced, principally
onsistingofbooks and charts. Among the former was
Newtons " Principia," which had been pre-
stehnetcer b of
y sewtheauthor to Flamsteed, and which bears
Fiamsteed's autograph.
A paper was read "On the Nerves which supply the
3luscular structure of the Heart," by Dr. Robert Lee,
F.R.S. A series of dissections, made by the author,
of the heart of the ;racehorse, in which both the mus-
cular and nervous structures are largely developed, de-
moi.strate that from the outer surface to the lining mem-
brane the walls are universally pervaded with nerves, on
which ganglia are formed. From these dissections it is
seen that the ganglionic nerves ramify op the surface of
the heart ;those which have been hitherto delineated in the
works of anatomists are few in number, compared with
those which are distributed throughout the muscular
structure of the organ, many of which are wholly inde-
pendent of the blood-vessels. This anatomical demon-
stration of the ganglia and nerves of the muscular
structure of the heart is stated by the author to corn.
pletely subvert the opinion still entertained by some
physiologists, that the sensitive and contractile powers
of the heart are independent of nervous influence. It
further indicates the real source of the action of the
heart as an entire organ from the commencement to the
termination of life, how the circulation of blood is carried
otqwhen the fcetus has neither brain nor spinal cord,
and how the detached parts of the heart continue to
contract for a time in some animals after its total sepa-
ration from the body.
Dr. Lee states that the dissections are open to exami-
nation of any gentleman who may be interested in the
anatomy and physiology of the heart.
It was announced that the Earl of Harrowby would
be proposed for election at the next ordinary meeting.

LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY.—
The line where the recent slip took place at Ealcombe
has been righted, and the rails are laid on a new prin-

at that particular part of the line which has now been
consolidated and drained at some cost, and by the la-
bour of between 100 and 200 men.

dent terminated fatally to Thomas Porter, cab driver,

ODESSA.—The Odessa dates are to the 7th instant,
and describe a continuance of animation in the grain-
market, the transactions being on a most extensive
scale. During the week ending the 4th of Octo-
ber the purchases of wheat and other grain had
amounted to about 100,000 quarters, and in the two
following days they reached 65,000 quarters, about
25,000 quarters of which were for the Neapolitan Go-
vernment, the rest being for other ports in the Medi-
terranean. Prices were consequently still tending
upwards, and the rates of freight were as high as ever.
The scarcity of ships had caused even Russian vessels to
be chartered in two instances—a deduction of about 25
per cent, in the cost being considered sufficient to com-
pensate for the risk of capture. The rate of exchange
was such as to leave large profits on the importation of
gold, but it was thought an amount would be attracted
that might cause a Violent notion.

Majority in favour of the
amendment 3
This statement was received with cheers from a great
portion of those present.
The CHAIRMAN intimated that as there was a majority
against the scheme, the directors intended, during the
interval between now and the general meeting in Feb-
ruary next, to consider what course they should pursue,
bearing in mini in whatever they did the best interests
of the company. (Hear, hear, and cries of "Oh.")
Mr. HENDERSON then moved an amendment, to the
effect—That this company having last year, and on the
present occasion, decided against the policy of making
extension lines at the company's expense, and distrusting
the present weak and divided state of the management,
deem it expedient to reconstruct a direction in a manner
best calculated to give effect to such policy, and to pre-
vent any future attempts, on the part of tho directors,
to revive schemes that have proved so very prejudicial
to the interests of the proprietors. (Cheers.)
The CHAIRMAN said the meeting had been called for a
specific object--the declaration of the poll—and as no-
thing irrelevant to that object could be brought under
discussion, it was out of order to submit such a resolu-
tion as this to the meeting. He therefore declined
to put the resolution from the chair, feeling
that it was incompetent for him to do so. An in-
describable scene of confusion here ensued, Mr.
Sergeant Gazelee and several proprietors gesticulating
and shouting at the top of their voice in defiance of
the directors, and totally disregarding the attempts of
the chairman to preserve something like order. Finding
it impossible to convince the proprietors of the impro-
priety of bringing such a resolution before the meeting
without due notice, he at last declared as there was no
more business to transact the meeting was dissolved ;
whereupon he and all the other directors, with the ex-
ception of Mr. Sergeant Gazelee and Mr. Mortimer, the
dissentients, vacated their seats, followed by the Ser-
geant and a considerable number of proprietors.
Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE then took the chair amidst the
cheering of his supporters. He said he considered that
the chairman had acted illegally, and that it was his in-
tention to ,proceed with the business which he had left
undone.

The resolution of Mr. Henderson was then, after same
verbal alterations, put to the vote, and, of course, car-
ried unanimously.
Another resolution was passed, on the suggestio n of
Mr. Sergeant GAZELEE, to the effect that a printed list
of the poll should be printed and sold to the pro-
prietors at one shilling a copy, in order that it
might be ascertained who had voted for and against the
extension ; and, also, on calling on the directors to sum-
mon another special meeting at an early peri..)d, with the
view of finally settling the question as to the extension
of the line and the general policy of the directors.
The proceedings terminated with a proposition for col-
lecting a fund for defraying the expense incurred by the
gentlemen who had got up the agitation against the
directors.

SPAIN.

The Madrid Gazette of the 13th contains a royal
decree authorising M. Scheidnagel, President of the
Finance Committee in London, to retire on a pen-

tion of Peru, and for regulating the commercial re-
lations between that country and Spain. The 13th

THE ROYAL SOCIETY.

The first meeting of the session for 1853-4 was held
yesterday ; Dr. Wallioh, vice.president in the chair. A.
great number of presents were announced, principally
consisting of books and charts. Among the former was
a Principle," which had been pre-
the copy of Newton's
rented by the author to Flamateed, and which bears
Flamsteed's autograph.
A paper was read "On the Nerves which supply the
Muscular structure of the Heart," by Dr. Robert Lee,
F.R.S. A series of dissections, made by the author,
of the heart of the (racehorse, in which both the rens.
cular and nervous structures are largely developed, de.
monstrate that from the outer surface to the lining mem-
brane the walls are universally pervaded with nerves, nit
which ganglia are formed. From these dissectionsit is
seen that the ganglionic nerves ramify on the surface of
the heart ;those which have been hitherto delineated in the

ssis stated by the author to com-
pletely subvert the opinion still entertained by some
structurest r ation o
of the
physiologists, that the
sensitive and contractile powers
of the heart are independent of nervous influence. It
further indicates the real source of the action of the
heart as an entire organ from the commencement to the
termination of life, how the circulation of blood is carried
oniwhen the fcetus has neither brain nor spinal cord,
and how the detached parts of the heart continue to
contract for a time in some animals after its total sepa-
ration from the body
Dr. Lee states that. the dissections are open to exami-
nation of any gentleman who may be interested in the
anatomy and physiology of the heart.
It was announced that the Earl of Harrowby would
be proposed for election at the next ordinary meeting.

LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY.—
The line where the recent slip took place at Bs.lcombe
has been righted, and the rails are laid on a new prin-
ciple. The slip took place in consequence of a swamp
at that particular part of the line which has now been
consolidated and drained at some cost, and by the la-
bour of between 100 and 200 men.
FATAL CAB ACCIDENT.—Yesterday morning an aoci.
dent terminated fatally to Thomas Porter, cab driver,
No. 6,905, Portland cottage, Portland New Town, in
the Charing-cross Hospital. The deceased was driving
two gentlemen into the City, when, opposite the Adelphi
theatre, the horse fell down and pitched the driver over
his vehicle ; he was picked up bleeding profusely from
the head, and taken to the above institution, where the
house surgeon found the right side of his skull fractured,
Death shortly after his admission terminated his guff er-
ings. Deceased has left a wife and a large family un-
provided for.

LI7TON.

It will be remembered that Mr. Lee, in his account of
of Adelaide-terrace, the property of Mr. Henry Sibley,
said that in 25 hbuses, containing a population of 126
souls, there had been 54 attacks of choleraic disease, of
which 15 had proved fatal—a rate of mortality amount-
ing in three weeks to 119 in the thousand, and which,
if continued over the town generally for the space of six
months, would destroy the whole of the inhabitants.
In a subsequent report, Mr. Lee, after narrating a great
number of harrowing cases, concludes with the follow-
ing startling statement : " I felt it my duty to estimate
the value of this property of Mr. Sibley's, and also of
the other property in the town, affected by the present
epidemic of cholera. I took some evidence from Mr.

I was able to state to the local board of health at their
meeting the following startling fact :—lf every house
that has been visited with this epidemic in Luton
were sold at its full value and the purchase money could
be invested so as to produce an annual revenue, the
amount would be insufficient to pay the charges of this
' attack of preventible disease. In other and more gene-
ral terms, the cholera cost more than the fee simple of
the houses in which its victims perish."
