COUNTY COURTS.

Lord BROUGHAM brought in a bill for the purpose
of extending the operation of what is cailed the " optional
clauses" in the County Courts Act, in order to extend
the jurisdiction of these courts over all actions, irrespec-
tive of the amount in dispute, or the nature of the
question involved. The bill was read a first time.
OXFORD UNIVERSITY REFORM.
The Earl of DERBY said it appeared from what
transpired in the House of C.nurnons yesterday that the
plan of reform which was to be submitted to the Convo-
cation of the University of Oxford to-morrow would not
receive the assent of the Government. He now
to ask whether the Govtrnr.7ei:t would communicate
their own plan of reform to the University before they
made it known to Parliament?
The Earl of ABERDEEN said that her Majesty's
Government had already received such information as
they felt.would justify them in proposing their measure
of reform to Parliament. He could not pledge himself
to submit such scheme to Convocation for their ap-
proval. -

BEDGOOD V. CODD. -ACCIDENT AT SEA.

The plaintiff in this case was formerly a sailor, but
some time ago he left that line of life, and went in
search of gold to Australia. In this undertaking he
wris so fortonat as to get 1,000 ounces of gold worth
about 3,8001.; but on the way home the ship in which
he was took fire, and although the gold was saved the
plaintiff only obtained possession of It upon paying some
charges which were mado in respect of it. The present
action was to recover back the amount so paid, and the
defendant in answer to the action, pleaded that he was
never indebted.

ITALY.

-
The Parlament° of Turin quotes letters from
Rome, from which it appears that serious distur-
bances havejust occurred at Ravenna, Rimini, and
Cosena, owing to the scarcity of provisions. At
Perugia a very serious one is mentioned ; a large
body of the peasantry having invaded the town
with cries of " Bread ! bread !" The Comman-
dant, a Swiss officer, assembled his troops, and was
proceeding to extremities against the mob, when
the delegate, Monsignor Loschiavo, interposed,
and succeeded in pacifying the multitude by kind
exhortations. The same letter states that an old
man, named Pozzi, once an employe of the Roman
War-office, and father of a large family,
has be en
condemned to 20 years' hard labour, for having
clandestine publications in his possession.

TROOPS FOR THE EAST.

The Eaal of CARDIGAN inquired whether. the Go-
vernment could not avail themselves of steam•vessels
instead of sailing•vessels, as was intended, for the con-
veyance of troops to the East.
The Duke of NEWCASTLE replied that a sufficient
number of steamships for the accommodation of such a
large body of troops a: it was propo.ed to send to
the seat of war could not be obtained without
deranging the shipping trade of the country,
but every possible effort would be made to convey the
troops with the utmost despatch, and where sailing ves-
sels were used, no doubt arrangements would be made to
take them in tow in stormy or unfavourable weather.

ARMY ESTIMATES,

Sir J. WALSH gave notice that on the motion for
going into committee of supply on the army estimates
he should call attention to the inadequacy of our present
military establishment to meet the exigencies of the war
we are about to enter into.
JUDGIIE.NT EXECUTIONS.

Mr. CRAUFURD give ;;Cice that ou an early day
he should move fur leave to bring in a bill to sanction
the issuing of executions in any part of the United King-
dom under a judgment obtained in any of the superior
law courts of England, Scotland, and Ireland.
London, England, 1854-02-23

EASTERN UNION.

The report of the directors of this company states, that
the working of the lines during the past half-year has been
productive of the largest income yet realised in any former
half-year, being upwards of 11 per cent., over the corres-
ponding period of 1852, and nearly 15 per cent. over the
corresponding period of 1851. From the unfortunate hos-
tility which existed with the Eastern Counties Company
coupled with the advance of wages, and of the cost of ma-
terials, together with the cost of the steam-boat service, this
increase of receipt has been more than counterbalanced by
an increase of working expenditure. The agreement
with the Eastern Counties and Norfolk Company has
been scaled and is now in full operation ; the whole of the
company's lines being worked by the Eastern Counties Com-
pany under the deed of arrangement entered into between the
two companies, and by which the future working expenses
will be limited to 46 per cent, on the proportionate receipts
payable to this• company. The Waveney Valley Railway
branching from the Eastern Union line at livetshal to Har-
leston and Bungay, is promoted by an independent pro-
prietory, towards which the landowners of the neighbour-
hood have largely contributed. It is now about to be
commenced under a satisfactory arrangement, sanc-
tioned by the Eastern Counties Company. The works
on the Harwich line are proceeding satisfactorily, the whole of
of the land required for its construction is now in the hands
of the company, and its opening in the course the summer
may be relied upon. The directors have resolved to recom-
mend the shareholders, at the next half-yearly meeting, to fix
the salary of the secretary at 5001. per annum, commencing
from the let inst., in consideration of his past and present
services, and they do not entertain a doubt of their recom-
mendation meeting with the approval of the shareholders.
Mr. P. Bruff, the engineer, states in his report, that, not-
withstanding the difficulties with which the com-
pany have been surrounded, their servants have conducted
the traffic of the line, from its first opening in June, 1846, to
the close of 1853, efficiently and safely, without a single
casualty having occurred by which either a passenger has
been injured or the property of the company destroyed. This
result he attributed almost wholly to the good conduct of the
servants on the line. The total amount of capital authorised
is 2,996,6661., including 686,6661. on loan. The amount of
shares issued is 1,690,4751., and of loans, raised, 619,878/. ;
together, 2,310,3531. The receipts on capital account amount
to 2,199,0571., and the expenditure to 2,189,4901., leaving a
balance of 9,5671. The revenue account for the half-year
ending the 31st of December shows that 70,7901. had been
received, and 42,7341. expended, leaving a balance of 28,0551.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.—LIVERPOOL, AUG. 14.
CROWN COURT.
(Before Mr. Baron Platt.)
George Hudson was charged with cutting and wound-
ing Elizabeth Hudson, with intent to murder her, on the
15th of May last.

It appeared that the prisoner, who is a ropemaker in
Manchester, was married to the prosecutrix in the year
1852, and they lived together until the commencement
of the present year, when, in consequence of his drunken
habits and violence, she was compelled to leave him ;
but he had followed her about, and had kicked her and
beaten her, and threatened to take her life, and made
her give him what money she had, and what she earned
as a worker at Sir Elkanah Armitage's mill. On Thurs-
day the 11th of May, as she was going to her work she
celled upon the prisoner at his mother's house, and
ssked him to give her a little money to buy some shoes
as she was almost barefooted, it being the first time she
had appli. dto him for help. He asked her to return
and live with him, ,and upon his promising to behave
better to'her she consented to do so, and they went to
her mother's house at Pendleton, where they remained
until the 15th of May, and for three days he behaved
very kindly fr,c. her. On the 15th of May, at eight
o'clock, he asked her to take a walk with him, and they
went out to buy some things, and had a littlo drink.
They then went home, and at about eleven he asked her
to take another walk along the canal, which she refused
to do, but walked along the Pendleton road, and shortly
left him. In the evening she sought for him, and found
him in Wonnald's beer-house, in Stevenson's-square,
when she asked him to go home with her. He ran at
her and tried to kick her, but she ran out of the house,
he following her. They then returned into the public-
house, and had a little beer together. She then asked
him to go home, but he told her to sit down, which she
did. A man asked her to have some drink, and then
the prisoner suddenly threw his arm round her neck,
and with his left hand held her head back, and she felt
him draw a razor across her throat. Finding that it
was cut, she screamed "murder," and 'he said, "I've
done it." A young woman pulled him away, and she
was taken to a surgeon's, where the wound was dressed,
and she remained at the Royal Infirmary a fortnight.
His lordship having summed up, the jury returned a
verdict of guilty, with a recommendation to mercy.
His lordship said that he had no power to attend to
that recommendation, and ordered sentence of death to
be recorded against him.
London, England, 1854-08-15

THE QUEBEC AND RICIDIOND SECTION

Comes next in order, and with refarenc'e to it I have
merely to state that every exertion is being made to lay
and finish the superstructure of the permanent way, so as
to be able to open the line for traffic early in September.
. The masonry throughout this section is of a very supe-
rior description, some few of the iron-bridges remain yet
to be finished, they are all proceeding with despatch, and
I do not anticipate any contingency happening which can
disappoint our expectations in this instance.
The extension from. Hadlow Cove to Tibbet's Wharf is
proceeding with vigour, and would be much further ad-
vanced than it now is, but for the delay experienced in
procuring the right of way. The passenger statiori build-
ing and steamboat landing wharf are being advanced ra-
pidly ; a corresponding lauding would also have been in a
similar state of forwardness on the Quebec side, if the
authorities with whom we had to deal for the property had
met our applications with promptitude.

THE PRINCIPALITIES.

A Vienna journal publishes the following as the
text of the letter addressed to Prince Kantacuzene,
President of the Council of Wallachia, to announce
the withdrawal of the Russian troops. It is dated
the 31st ult.
consequence of the concentration of the Im
perial army, which is now taking place, the city of
Bucharest is without Russian troops. In quitting
this city, I deliver up the direction of public affairs
to the Council of Administration. It will be careful
to govern conscientiously and with zeal, conformably to
the institutions of the country. As regards the district,
which the Imperial army will continue to occupy, the
administrative functionaries, and others, will perform
their functions as hitherto, and take care to supply the
troops with whatever they may want, according to the
orders of the military chief, or those of the Varnick
Floresko, who has been associated with me as special
commissary since the entrance of the Russians into,
Wallachia. In quitting the capital of this principality,
it is agreeable to me to be able to express to the mem
bers of the alministration, the persons in public office,
and the population in general, my gratitude for the zeal
which they have without distinction manifested to pro.
vide for the wants of the Imperial army."
The Press of Vienna says :—" The Turkish
troops on the 6th occupied the post of the Mu-
nicipal Guard at Bucharest. Omer Pacha was
expected on the 12th. Rimeck Effendi, tilt,
Roman Catholic chief of the Miridites of Turkisis
Albania, has arrived at Varna with a part of th,,,
troops which he has raised." The same journal
contains a letter from Cracow of the Bth, which
says :—" The following is related in well-informed
circles. The Russian Colonel Kowalewski arrived
on the 6th by the train of Warsaw at the frontier
station of Szezakowa, on his way to Vienna, but
was refused by the police permission to enter the
Austrian States. He at once sent a telegraphic
despatch to Vienna asking for authorisation to con-
tinue his journey, but the reply was, to all appear
ance, not satisfactory to the police, as they per
sisted in their refusal. The Colonel was then
obliged to return to Malzki. He there hired horses
and proceeded to Wegizie, but he was there also
refused permission to pass the frontier. He then
stated his case to the military commandant of this
place, who gave him permission to pass, yet, in
spite of that permission, the local authorities de-
clared that, in virtue of superior orders, they were
obliged to refuse his Passage'
He then returned
to Warsaw."

LAUNCH OF THE FALCON.

We have had another launch at Pembroke-yard, that
of the Falcon, a 16-gun screw steamer, which took place
on Friday, successfully, before an unusually large num-
ber of spectators. She was named by Lady Waldegrave,
now staying at the adjacent fashionable watering-place,
Tenby. The following are the dimensions of this splen-
did little craft :—Extreme length, 184 feet ; length
between the perpendiculars, 160 feet ; ditto of keel for
tonnage, 148 feet 1i inch ; breadth extreme, 31 feet 10
inches ; ditto for tonnage, 31 feet 8 inches ; ditto
moulded, 31 feet ; depth of hold, 17 feet 5 inches ;
burthen in tons, 7471 tons. She is a sister ship to the
Harrier, lately launched here and now fitting for sea at
Portsmouth. She will be sent to the same port for a
similar purpose, and is now in dock being jury-rigged
for that end. An effectual examination of the moorings
of the port is now being effected by Mr. Brown and a
party of seamen riggers. The Andromache is fast pre-
paring as a floating powder magazine, to supply the
place of the Mulgrave to be broken up, being too de-
fective for repairs.

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION.

The Diligence, store-ship, arrived at Woolwich on
Sunday afternoon from Disco, where she parted with
the Phcenix, new steam-sloop, Captain Edward A.
Inglefield, and the Talbot, tender to the Phcenix, on
July 7, the Diligence on her return to England, and
the Phcenix and Talbot proceeding up the Winnegat
between Disco and the mainland on their way to
Beechy Island, with stores for the relief of Captain
Sir Edward Belcher's expedition. The last winter in
the north had been the must severe experienced for
many years past by the inhabitants of the Danish settle-
ments, and the reports received at them from every
quarter alluded to the uncommon severity of the weather
even for these high latitudes. Captain inglefield's ex-
pedition experienced very boisterous weather during the
passage of the vessels from England to Disco, and un-
fortunately the Talbot sprunk a leak, which damaged
about 5,000 lbs. weight of biscuit; and to make up in
some degree for the damaged biscuit, the Diligence trans-
ferred all she could spare to the Phcenix. The crews of
all the vessels were quite well when they parted, and
'he use of the razor had been abolished on every part of
the faces of the officers and men, and the natural hair
llowed to grow in the fullest luxuriance. No intelli-
gence had been heard of any of the ships at present in
the Arctic regions, but some news of them may be ex-
pected about the end of September next. The Diligence
had very disagreeable weather during her passage home.
She is expected to be paid off at Woolwich in the course
of the present week.

The machinery and other appliances necessary are now
fixed and the masonry is being proceeded with. Dam No.
2, as well as the abutment dam, are being supplied with
clay puddle, necessary-for their completion, and they will
shortly be in the seine state of forwardness as dam No. 1,
already referred to. Dams 3 and 4 are also constructed,
and they will be floated into their places as soon as practi-

Separate engines for pumping water and setting the
stage are provided, and ready to be fixed on each of the 6
dams, and every other applianc3 in machinery and gearing
of all kinds are also prepared on the most extensive scale.
The complete success of the dam already tested furnishes
the most satisfactory evidence of the efficiency of the plans
which have been pursued in reference to this important
undertaking.
The quarries at Polite Claire provide stone of superior
quality and dimensions; having been in operation for the
last 8 or 9 months, very large quantities of stone have been
provided and prepared for setting in the works.
Wharves have been constructed ou the St. Lawrence, in
the vicinitj of the quarries, and railways are laid down to
facilitate the shipment of the stone.
The contractors have also provided two very powerful
new steamboats, with a fleet of barges built expressly for
the purpose, which are designed to carry the atone to the
site of the bridge. These are now in active operation, and

BANKRUPTCY COURT-(THIS DAY.

(Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.)
IN RE GILLIE AND ACKERMANN.-SECOND ADJOURNMENT

SINE DIE.

These bankrupts were described as formerly of White-
cross-street, drapers, and their last examination having
been adjourned sine die in 1849, in consequence of the
imperfect state of the accounts.
The bankrupt now came up on further accounts, and
was again opposed on behalf of the assignees, on the
ground that the accounts were still unsatisfactory.
His Honour, on referring to the proceedings, said
that the accounts now rendered were no better than the
last, and it appeared, from the bankrupts' Own examina-
tion, that the only books kept were a leger and bill-
book ; that on the previous month, before the bank-
ruptcy, the bankrupts had doubled their purchases, and
no account had been rendered as to the disposal of the
property.
For the bankrupt it was urged that when the bank-
ruptcy was formed, it was agreed that Gillie should keep
the books.

His Honour said that was no excuse, and if the
eqzignees pressed it, the examination must be further
adjourned.

The bankrupt said he feared it would be impossible
for him to file any better accounts.
The Solicitor to the assignees said he must press the
opposition.

The examination was again adjourned sine die.
The debts were about 1,600/. ; assets, 370/.
