EXETER.

EXETER, Arßit 28.—0 n Tuesday afternoon a messenger
arrived at the fire offices in this city, giving information of
a most alarming fire having broken out in the village of
Stoke Canon, which is situated about four miles distant,
close to the Bristol and Exeter Railway. The firemen and
engines immediately hastened to the scene, to render all the
assistance in their power; and besides the very efficient
corps of the West of England and Sun Offices, the engine of
Sir T. D. Acland, Bart., M.P., of Killerton I'ark, scarcely.
two miles from Stoke, was in attendance. From inquiries
made on the spot, we find that thirty-two houses have been
completely gutted. Stoke Canon is a small village, contain-
ing (in the parish) about 500 inhabitants, and sixty dwel-
lings; the destruction, therefore, of more than half the
dwellings, and the making houseless the majority of the
poor and uninsured residents, i 3 a calamity which we are
justified in designating as awful in the extreme. The train
which leaves Paddington at half-past seven in the morning
passes at the back of Stoke about ten minutes after
three in the afternoon, and reaches Exeter at twenty
minutes past three. A cinder from the engine propelling
this train was, it is generally supposed, the cause of
this dire event, for, soon after the train had passed,
the thatch of a linhay, belonging to a person named
Barris, not a land yard from the rails, was discovered to be in
flames. It was soon extinguished, but not soon enough to
prevent its communicating with a house occupied by. a Mr.
Hunt, who was confined to his bed, and was with difficulty
saved from a painful and horrible death. The wind was
blowing hard from the south-west, and the fire extended in
two directions, the one being easterly towards the main
Street, and the other northerly towards the Brampford Spike

SOUTH WALES (DEVIATIONS).

Evidence was continued this morning in favour of the two
or three deviations at Llanelly, Margam, &c., which were of
comparatively small importance.
Counsel appeared for Mr. Chambers and other opposing
proprietors on the different branches, and cross-examined
the witnesses.
The room was cleared, and parties on being admitted were
told that the preamble of the Bill had been proved, and the
Committee had also decided that classes for the compensation
of Mr. Chambers and the lessees should be inserted.
The Committee then adjourned.

GROUP 'XXVIII.
EASTERN COUNTIES (SPALDING To
NEWAILIE).

(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
Mr. Smyth put in a section to show how the alteration
might be accomplished. There would be one tunnel,
which would be aproached by a cutting of sixty
feet in depth. The other cuttings would vary from
twelve to forty-three feet. There were several gr,-
dients, varying from 1 in 100 to 1 n 132, and, pr.acti-
i
c.ally, the difference of power required to overcome gradients
of lin 100 and lin 200 was two-thirds. With respect to
stations, he believed that after the contest was over, there
would be a variety of interests, and the Eastern Counties
line crossed the Great Northern near enough at Spald-
ing to come into a common station. They crossed the
Ambergate line at Sleaford, where the same convenience
might be obtained. The total estimate is 620,0001., the
real expense of the road being 580,0001., leaving a margin
of 40,000/., which he deemed to be quite sufficient for
stations and other contingencies. The earthworks would be-
-115,000/. ; the tunnelling 55,000/., at 60/. a yard; the
masonry for bridges and culverts, 42,000/. ; the permanent
way, 215,000/. ; level crossings, 40,000/. ; maintenance of
permanent way for one year, 9,000/.; purchase of land,
54,0001., and contingencies, 40,0001., and he had then a,

HERTFORD AND RITCHIIir.
The Committee met at the usual hour. Evidence was
given as to the injury which would be caused to the proper-
ties of Mr. A. Smith, Mr. Adcock, and other landowners, by
the construction of the proposed line.
Mr. R. Stephenson, engineer to the Eastern Counties and
Midland Railways, was examined at considerable length in
favour of the Eastern Counties scheme. The construction of
this line by the Eastern Counties Company would enable the
Midland Company, in connexion with that line, to compete
with the Great Northern Railway for the traffic between the
north and the metropolis.
The cross-examination of Mr. Stephenson had not con-
cluded when the Committee adjourned till 12 to-morrow.

EMIGRTIN.
If the tide of emigration A
contiOnues to flow with the
same rapidity which it has for the last month, the
country will soon become desolate indeed. Every sea-
port
in Ireland is full to overflowing. We have been in- '
formed that one noble Lord in the province of Connaught
is about to ship not less than thirteen hundred families(!)
eff his estate, paying htlf their expenses. If things pro- -
gress in this way, there will be very little use for the
bailiff, and " Gerrardism" will vanish from the laud.—
Thant Herald.
From every part of Ulster the middling and small
class of farmers are leaving in hundreds for the purpose
of seeking a future home cn the other side of the At-
lantic. The English and Scotch steamers carry out with
them, weekly, immense numbers for Liverpool ard
Glasgow, the impatience to quit Ireland being so great,
that should a vessel rot be ready to sail immediately
from Derry for America, they set out with all possible
speed for the above ports. We have been informed that
within the last three weeks fully fifteen hundred persona
have embarked at Portrush, the steamers on
.arriving
there being scarcely able to take all the -passengers

that the prisoner, in a fit of intoxication, fired the shot
which deprived the deceased of life. The jury, after a

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.)
WILLSHER V. SMITH.

The plaintiff in this action is a printer, in Manor-
street, Chelsea, and the defendant is a nuseryman, at
Chelsea and Battersea. The action was brought to re-
cover the sum of 81. 2s. 6d. for engraving and printing
cards, &c.

The defendant pleaded that he was not indebted, but
did not appear.
Two witnesses were called who proved the delivery of
the goods, but the order for part only was proved.
The plaintiff's attorney said if the jury had any doubt
he would call his clerk.

The UNDER-SHERIFF—To fill up the gaps? but
perhaps the jury will be satisfied with the proof of value.
A witness was called and proved the prices to be fair,
and the attorney's cliTk was called and proved he had
written a letter to the defendant, who had returned it by
his man with an answer.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said that evidence of the letter
could not be received, as no notice had been given to the
defendant to produce it,
The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed.
WOOD AND OTHERS Y. WORSLEY, CLERK.

This was an action brought to recover the sum of
85/. 2s. 7d. for goods sold arid delivered.
The plaintiffs are coal merchants in Northumberland-
street, Strand and at Kentish Town, and the defendant is
a clergyman at Finchley.
The defendant allowed judgment to go by default.
The plaintiff's attorney stated the case. The defendant
had dealt with the firm since 1844, and goods to the
amount of the sum claimed bad been delivered ; there
was also a previous amount due to the plaintiffs as exe
tutors of their predecessor, Mr. Edward Wood. This
latter amount did not, however, form part of the present
claim, although it was all admitted to be due when de-
fendant was applied to for payment.
Evidence to this effect was produced.
One of the witnesses, on being asked the price of some
of the coals, gave the merchant's price, 245. 3d. per ton.
They were, however, charged at 40s.
The jury gave a verdict for the full amount claimed.

threatening language towards her. She (witness) had
no doubt her niece left the prisoner in consequence of
his ill usage. Her niece was afterwards reduced to
great distress, and she sent her to Yarmouth, where her
friends resided. She never heard that her niece was
unfaithful to her husband, but he had been very unfaith-
ful to her. She never heard the prisoner was a man of
unsound mind. Witness heard of the second matriage
some time ago. The mother of the prisoner married his
wife's father.

Mr. Pelham—l see—it was a family compact.
Anna Louisa Foster stated that she was married to the
prisoner at Whitechapel Church on the 22d of July last.
He married her in the name of George Hoshaiah Allison,
and she never knew him by any other. When she first
became acquainted with him he was in business as a
linendraper, and she was in the habit of making pur-
chases at the shop. He paid his addresses to her for 12
months previously to their marriage. On or about Christ-
mas last he told her that he was married to another wo-
man, and that he did not like to mention it before, a 3 he
feared the news would distress her. She continued to
live with him until the 23d of February last, when they
had a few words, and, after kissing her, he said she
would never see him again, and left home. She had not
seen him since the 23d of February until that day.
The witness fainted away when she had given her evi-
dence, and was carried out of court..

Robert Sheffield produced the certificate of the reg'ster
of the last marriage at Whitechapel Church.
Mr. YARDLEY said, the case must go before a jury, and
there was not a single extenuating circumstance in the
case to justify him in taking bail. He committed the
prisoner for trial.

There are many subjects, in themselves apparently
of trivial. consequence, that exercise the greatest in-
fluence over the welfare, happiness, and morals of
thousands of our countrymen. It may seem of little
importance to the public generally, that wealthy
landowners should be permitted to deal with their
own properties in the manner they may think proper ;
that they should sedulously encourrivagateeasuperabund-
demesnes ance of game, not only on their p
on the farms of their tenantry, and that they should
enabi2d, by means of stringent enactments,
t butbe
o
serve that game, and to punish with the greatest
re-
severity any attempt to interfere with what they
...are taught to regard as much their private properties
as any other portion of their possessions. They ask
why should not the surreptitious taking of a hare or a
pheasrait be dealt with as a theft as fully as if a
pocket-handkerchief had been abstracted—or, to make
the analogy more perfect, as if a domestic animal, a
sheep or fbwl, had been purloined ? And they con-
tend that, because there are greater facilities
afforded for obtaining possession thereof, that
a greater degree of punishment is absolutely ne-
cessary to prevent persons from taking that to which
they have no manner of right. There is some ap-
pearar ice of justice, some colour of equity, in these
assert ions ; but a little close examination will enable
ua to detect ti fallacies, and to show how wholly
unwarrantable are the assumptions. It is now uni..
oersal ly admitted " that property has its duties as
wpII To its rights ;" that it was originally conferred,

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING.

TUESDAY NIGHT.

The con'usion that arose from the departure of the
crowd immediately after the race for the Newmarket
Handicap, prevented our obtaining pat titulars of the
running in time to forward them with the result. We
now subjoin them:—

Ivr
JA EWDIARKET HANDICAP.—It is almost superfluous
to say that the horses were got together without, and
precisely at the time fixed were started at the first
signal. The first running was made by Devil-
me. Care, followed by Lynceus, Vampyre, Free
Lance, Best Bower, and a few others, the heavy
weight laying well up with them, in a cluster; all, in
fact, were in good positions except Clermont (the Eu-
clid colt), who blundered just after starting, and lost a
little ground, fortunately for him, the pace was not
great, and he reached his horses befor they had run a
quarter of a mile. At the bushes, Lynceus, who had
been, and still was, pulling double, took the lead from
Devil-me-care, and with Vampyre, Devil-me-care.
Palma, and Queen of Tyne, at his heels, carried
on the naming to the turn of the lands, Cler-
mont here took the second place, and getting
clear of his horses, followed about two lengths in the
wake of Lynceus, who was still pulling hard. Vanish
next showed with the leading horses, then Sting, and
Vampyre dropping back, the race, about half way be-
tween the turn and the Duke's Stand, was left to tour.
Clermont now ran up to Lynceus, had no difficulty in
depriving him of his lead, kept in frot:' to the chair, and
won cleverly by a length. Vanish and Sting passed Lyn-
ceus about 50 yards from home, and made a sporting race,
for the second money,which the horse won for his owner
by a head. Lynceus a good fourth, Vampyre fifth, and
Palma sixth; run in 3 min. 9 sec. Mr. Gregory is said
to have netted 4,0001., in addition to the stake, which,
free from deductions, amounted to 1,1251. Some of his
friends also came off good winners. As is ever the case
when favourites win, the round betters are losers.
