WEAR VALLEY.

The special meeting of this company was held im-
mediately after that of the Middlesborough and Red-
car, and in the same office ; Mr. H. Stobart in the
chair ; for the purpose of considering the propriety of
leasing the line to the Stockton and Darlington Com-
pany. After some discussion resolutions were passed
for granting a lease of the line, with its appurte-
nances, which include the Bishop Auckland and
Weardale' the Weardale Extension and Wear and
Derwent Railways, and the Sheldon Tunnel to the
Stockton and Darlington Railway Company, for the
term of 999 years, to commence on the Ist of October
next, at the yearly rent of 47,0371., less income tax,
which is equal to six per cent. on both the old and
new share capital, provided the Stockton and Dar-
lington Company agree to expend 60,0001. in improv-
ing the railways during the first seven years.
After a short adjournment, the chairman was ena-
bled to inform the meeting that the Stockton and
Darlington Committee had agreed to the terms for
leasing the line.
Thanks were voted to the Chairman and the meet-
ing separated.

—The defendant brought eight packages of rope to
my warehouse on the 14th of June. Mr. Gray, thc•
prosecutor, and his son, saw them. I was there when
they called. The goods were not packed in packages.
They were open, and there was no mark upon them
that I saw. They were brought for the purpose of
being sold by public sale, and having some money
advanced upon them. A Mr. Rodwell came with the
defendant. The defendant said he wanted 21. a hun-
dred-weight upon the rope. I asked him, when he
went to make the writings, whose the rope was ? He
said it was his own. I asked him what he dealt in ?
He said, in the description of goods I sold in my pub-
lic sales. I did not ask him who made them. I said
I could not let him have more than thirty shillings a
hundred for the rope, and that he would have of course
the more to receive when I should sell it. lie said to
me that he carried on business at No. 2, Triangle-
terrace, Camberwell. I advanced him 211. upon 141
cwt. 16 lb. I saw him afterwards on the 14th of
August. He came in the afternoon of that day, and
said that he came to take away the rope, as he could
get a better price for it than I could, and I charged
him 31.
Cross-examined—l do not know Mr. Rodwell's ad-
dress. I have known him these 26 or 27 years. I
believe he is a merchant.

James Davison, carman to Mr. Ayres, Bermondsey,
at the time of the transaction, said—l was employed
on the 14th of June to take the packages of rope from
the West Kent Wharf to the premises of Mr. Booth.
The rope was in packages when I took it from the
West Kent Wharf, and the wrappers, with the ship-
ping marks upon them, were stripped off on Dow-
gate-hill, and the rest of the covering was taken off
before they arrived at Mr. Booth's auction rooms. I
did it myself, by the direction of the defendant. I
did not receive any payment for the job.
Mr. Gray—l have sees the rope described. It is
the same rope which I packed on the 11th of June,
and sent by Pearce to the Custom-house Wharf.
Mr. Huddlestone—That is the case against the
defendant, whom I now ask your Lordship to commit
for trial.

The LORD MAYOR—Certainly I shall commit the
defendant to take his trial with the other defendants
at the Central Criminal Court.

Mr. Brown—What bail will your Lordship take for
m y client's appearance at the Central Criminal Court?
The Lord Mayor—His own security for 2001., and
two sureties for 1001. each.
The defendant was then committed.

We were given to understand that a book which
was found secreted in a cupboard at the office of
Gardner and Holliday, upon information given by
Seagar to the policeman who apprehended him, con-
tained the particulars of frauds committed by that
firm to the amount of several thousands of pounds.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

EXTENSIVE EMBEZZLEMENT BY A SLIOPMAN.—
Wm. Henry Pitman, late clerk and shopman to Mr.
John White Moore, the celebrated sporting print
publisher, West-street, St. Martin's-lane, was placed
at the bar before Mr. Hardwick, charged with em-
bezzling various sums of money, amounting to up-
wards of 4001.

It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner had
been in the employ of Mr. Moore as clerk and shop-
man for more than seven years, at a weekly salary of
11. 16s. About a twelvemonth ago the prosecutor
had a suspicion that the prisoner was robbing him, but
as nothing could be found against him no more notice
was taken of it till about a month after, when the
prisoner was seized with the rheumatic fever, and
was absent from his employment more than six
weeks, during which time the prosecutor paid
him his full salary. In the prisoner's ab-
sence, the prosecutor had occasion to 'call upon
Mr. Janes, the landlord of the Sir John Falstaff,
Bridges-street, Covent-garden, when on applying for
a bill of 21. 19s. Gd., he was surprised to hear that it
had been paid to the prisoner. The prosecutor then
called upon Mr. John Govin, of Hart-street, who in •
formed him that he had paid to the prisoner the sum
of 471. He saw nothing of the prisoner till the pre-
vious evening, when he met him in St. Martin's-
lane, and gave him into custody. He had ascertained,
by going through his books, that the prisoner was
a defaulter to the extent of between 4001. and 500/.

Mr. Janes, of the Sir John Falstaff tavern, proved
paying to the prisoner, in February last, the sum of
2/. 19s. 6(1., receiving a receipt for the same, signed
by the prisoner.
Mr. Cozens, of 50, London-wall, proved paying
to the prisoner 2/. 65., and produced a receipt for the
same.

The prosecutor begged for a remand, as he should
be able to prove several other charges against him.
Mr. HARDWICK remanded the prisoner for a
week.

BRITANNIA, Nov. 21, 1846.

The French people have done themselves credit by their industrial
expositions. But it must he acknowledged that, though ingenious
and pretty, they,appear quite insigniflcaA compared with the indus-
trial exposition presented to the mind by this mighty volume. Keep.
ing pace with the advancing trade and population of London, it still
increases in be lk ; and, keeping pace with the movement of society
in a more imps rtant particular, it vigilantly seizes every opportunity
of improvement to insure more perfect accuracy and more complete
classification. We find in this volume many instances of sueriority
to former issues, which, though comparatively trifling, show the in-
telligence and care exercised over every department. It may be men-
tioned that by the employment of private agents, the changes of re-
sidence are now brought down to a later period thin formerly, and
the value of the Directory" 13 consequently enhanced. We have
before spoken of it as indispensable to the proper managemer.t of
business, Its authority is now so universally established, both at the
Post-office and throughout the metropolis, that any further recom-
mendation of it is superfluous.

SUMMARY.

Mr. MITCHELL had not heard any argument
against the principle he had laid down, viz., that
the date of departure should be fixed in
preference to the date of arrival. It would ba an actof
great injustice to the mercantile interest to adopt the
proposition of the Government. It was by no means
sure who might be the members of Government in Sep-
tember, and he, as a merchant, should not like to
ask the Noble. Lord the Member for Lynn for such a
favour as the admission of grain duty free after the first
of September.
Mr. CGLLETT thought the original proposition of the
Member for Bridport, viz., that corn shipped before
the Ist of August should be admitted perfectly free,
and hoped that the Government would adopt a propo-
sition to that effect.

Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, and the
Committee divided. When there appeared,

For Mr. Mitchell's Amendment

The remaining clauses were then agreed to, the
House resumed, and the report was brought up and
agreed to.
The House then resolved itself into Committee of
Supply, pro forma, and a resolution for granting a sup-
ply to her MAJESTY was agreed to.
The House resumed, and the report was ordered to
be reported on Monday.
MOLASSES AND SUGAR AND RUM BILL.
The House then resolved itself again into Committee,
and the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER rose to pro-
pose the resolution on which he meant to found a Bill,
authorising the rise of sugar, molasses, and rum distil-
leries and breweries. It was his intention to
propose a measure of a permanent, and not

LIGHT SOVEREIGNS.

The following letter has been addressed to the editor of
tbe Times :
Sir,—Some twelve months since a great stir and bustle
was made about the light sovereigns, and, as I presumed, they
were all called in; and I had a hope, therefore, that an end
was put to further weighing them. Strange to say, it is not
so, for hundreds of light sovereigns are still in circulation;
and it is no more strange than true that they flow from our
banking-houses in town. I had a cheque changed a few
days since at the London and Westminster Bank, and, out of
twenty sovereigns, I had eleven light ones. Some of theni
I took to the Stamp office to pay for duties, but of course
they were weighed and were found wanting. This put me
to very great inconvenience, such as you can hardly antici.
pate ; however, I have no redress, and must only wait
patiently for a better state of things. Will you kindly give
the public a caution t.ot to take light sovereigns? They are
chiefly to be found amongst those coined in the reigns of
George 111. and George IV. They should be refused by the
public when presented to them ; this would make the bankers
take them else% here, and thereby probably rid them from
being sent into circulation.

Yours,
London, England, 1847-03-10

FINE ARTS.

SCOTLAND DELINEATED. Parts I. and 11.
The mountain scenery of Scotland, from its peculiar
beauty and its various magnificence, has been more
repeatedly made the subject of illustration than that of
any other country, with the exception of Switzerland.
Paintings and engravings unnumbered have appeared, in
which the more remarkable features of Caledonia have
been pourtrayed. Hundreds of them have come under
our immediate inspection, but we must assert at once,
that we have never yet had the good fortune to view the
commencement of any serial work of this description
which augured, on its completion, a work so truly
national and splendid. Printed in large folio, and with
type of a size and clearness which we have seldom seen
surpassed, the letter-press is not, as is too frequently the
case, the least attractive portion of the publication. And
this department is by no means deteriorated from the
circumstance of its being conducted by Mr. John Parker
Lawson. Among the many distinguished artists en-
gaged upon the pictorial part of the series we may enu-
merate the names of Clarkson Stanfield, George Catter-
mole, David Roberts, and Thomas Creswick. Can any
commendation be more eulogistic as to the character of
the engravings, than the implied eulogium of that simple
catalogue ? The work altogether reflects honour upon
all who are engaged in its production ; it is the creation
of extraordinary talent and astonishing industry.

ROYAL MILITARY ACADEMY AT
WOOLWICH.

A large and elaborate lithographic engraving of this
fine national establishment, dedicated to the Prince Al-
bert, and representing a review of the Royal Artillery
in the presence of his Royal Highness. There is an
absence of formality iu the grouping of the figures and
especially in the delineation of the spectators in the
foreground—a feature but two little regarded in these
architectural drawings. To the pencil of Mr. W. Ran-
well we are indebted for this clever picture,

" Your Committee recommend that the Glasgow, Paisley,

two parts; the one to contain the branch railway from
the goods depot of the Glasgow, Paisley, and Greenock
Railway at Glasgow to the proposed branch of the
Caledonian Railway near to Shields bridge, in the parish

divert or alter the Glasgow, Paisley, and Ardrossan
Canal; and the other to contain the remaining provisions

of these oaths were taken, but as far as he was concerned
he was most willing to agree to the prayer of the petition.
The subject then dropped.
