GREAT NORTHERN' EXTENTIONS TO

DEEDS AND WAKEFIELD.

The Committee met this morning at twelve o'clock.
Mr. BAINES, on the part of the Leeds and Dewsbury Rail-
way, stated that he was instructed, on the part of the land-
owners opposing the Great Northern Railway to withdraw
their opposition to the further progress of the =alum. But
stated, at the same time, that his chants were fully con-
vinced of the necessity and advantage of an independent ac,
cess to the town of Leeds, and as they conceived that the
proposed line of the Leeds and Dewsbury would afford these
advantages, he claimed to be heard against the
merits of the proposed Great Northern .clieine, should
the Committee be of opinion that in consequence of the
withdrawal of the opposition as to the proposed levels
and crossings of the Great Northern Railway, that that line
should be allowed to proceed with their case.
Mr. Sergeant Witarionam, on the part of the Great
Northern Railway, contended that this opposition having
been removed, he was now entitled to proceed with his Bill.
Mr. TALBOT, for the Midland Railway, opposed the re-
opening of the case.
The room was then ordered to be cleared. Upon our re-
admission,
The CHAIRMAN stated that the Committee were of opinion
that a great waste of the time of the Committee bad taken place
in consequence of the opposition not having been withdrawn
at an earlier period, but as they conceived that the public
interests were of paramount importance, they should allow
the Great Northern Railway to proceed with their case, on
condition that a plan should be deposited by twelve o'clock
on Monday, showing definitely the mode by which they: pro -
posed to meet the difficulties of their levels at the point of
crossing the Leeds and Dewsbury line.
The Committee then adjourned till Thureday next, at
twelve o'clock.

MR. GROGAN'S BENEFIT.—Grogan, the box book-
keeper of the Lyceum, who, for the last forty years, has been
a faithful servant to the public, takes a benefit at the Lyceum
on Monday, when we trust that those who have so often
benefited by his civility in his time of health will not forget
him in his time of affliction.—(Poor Grogan is suffering from
the effects of a paraly tic stroke)—but rally round him In
force. _ _e

TRUE PRACTICAL FREEMASONRY.—The poor of
Sherborne received, through the Lodge of Benevolence, a
timely gift on Tuesday evening, when upwards of 700 poor
families received a loaf each, proportioned to their families.
The bread was purchased by the third part of the produce of
Dr. Wolff's gratuitous lectures. The W. M. Bro. E. T
Percy, attended at the Town-hall, and assisted by five of the
brethren of the Lodge, distributed the bread with order and
regularity, by tickets, in about an hour. We need not say
how gratefully, during the high price of bread,
i it was re-
ceived. We understand the portion for Ireland s placed at
the disposal of his Grace the Duke of Leinster, the Grand
Master for Ireland; and the portion for Scotland at the dis-
posal of his Grace the Duke of Athol, the Grand Master for
Scotland. Truly may we say of our valued brother, Dr.
Wolff, that he is a faithful labourer in the vineyard of
Masonry.
SUPPLY OF SALT.—ST. MIES, MAY 7.—The stock
of salt appropriated to foreign ships is reduced by late arri."
vats to about 8,000 moys, or 5,600 tons, but there is a further
quintity of about 10,000 moys reserved for the native ship-
ping: as these have no where to take it, ;Loa pf that
titv will he distributed to foreign shins.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

OLD COURT.
(Before Baron ALDEESON
Charles Brown, aged 38 years, described as a plumber, who
was found guilty yesterday of uttering a forged acceptance
to a bill of exchange for 228/. 159., with intent to defraud
William Patrick Gray, was brought up to-day for judgment.
Baron ALDEitsorr, in passing sentence, said that as the
prisoner had not obtained any money by means of the forged
instrument, and as he bad received a good character, he
would not inflict the full penalty of his offence, and instead
of transporting him, sentenced him to two years' imprison-
ment and hard labour.

Lydia Bascy, a widow, aged 50, and Louisa Norris, a
spinster, aged 78, were placed at the bar, charged, the former
with feloniously uttering to the Paymaster-General a docu-
ment purporting to be a declaration and certificate of the
identity of one Frances Laudon Guiltery, as the widow of one
James Guiltery, and entitled, as such widow, toa sum of money
as a pension, with the interest, to defraud her Ma:;esty- the
Queen, and Norris with feloniously inciting, procuring, and
aiding her to do so, and commit the said felony.
The prosecution against the latter prisoner was not pressed,
but the former pleaded Guilty.
Baron ALDERSON, in passing sentence, said, that the con-
duct of the prisoner was most culpable, and calculated,
though he hoped it would not have that effect, of defeating
the charitable intention of the Government, and indreing
them to discontinue such pensions as they had heretofore
granted. He would certainly transport her but for her age.
The sentence of the Court was, that she should be imprisoned
for three years, and kept to hard labour.

WORSHIP-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)
This morning two young men, brothers, named Henry
Farr and Char*: Farr, were brought before Mr. Broughton,
for re-examination, charged with stealing a cash-box, con-
taining gold, Bank notes, and securities, amounting to up-
wards of 230/., the property of Mr. James Bird, landlord of
the Mail Coach Tavern, Kingsland-road. The prosecutor
stated, that the prisoner, Henry Farr, had been in his service
as a potman for about three weeks, antecedent to Easter
Sunday last; but he absconded on the afternoon of that day.
The cash-box, which he had left safe in the cupboard of the
bar parlour, had disappeared. Information was given to the
police, and it was ascertained that the other prisoner, who
had filled a similar situation to his brother in the Edgeware-
road, had also absconded the same evening. The wife of the
proiecutor, whilst passing down Fleet-street, observed them
both seated in a cab, and she called out to the driver to stop
the vehicle. On hearing the alarm, the prisoner, Henry Farr,
dashed open the door, and darting across the road, effected
his escape, but the other was given into custody. From the
statement of the cabman, it appeared that he had taken them
up on their arrival from the country, at the Euston-square
terminus, and they had with them carpet bags and a large
bundle, well stocked with male attire. City police-constable
Smith, 337, searched the prisoner, and
,found in his
possession three sovereigns and a quantity of
silver, amongst which was a sixpenny piece, marked
in a peculiar manner, which was afterwards shown to
the prosecutor, who at once identified it as having been
stolen, with the cash-box, at the time in question. The
other prisoner was traced to Carey-street soon afterwards,
and taken into custody. The prosecutor was enabled to
prove that the prisoners had changed one of the notes at the
railway station.
The prosecutor stated that, since the last examination, he
had received letters from two individuals, who could not at-

tend that day, who stated that they had been robbed in a
similar manner by the prisoners, and one of them to the tune
of about 1801.
Mr. BitouGllToN remanded the prisoners for a week, in
order to give time for the production of the other witnesses.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
TATTERSALL'S—FRIDAY.
Business, in the aggregate, was flat, but it did not lack
importance, inasmuch as it once more had the effect of re-
versing the positions of the two Danebury favourites, and
brought Mr. Greville's Mirmillo from the extrema outside to
20 to 1, taken freely in good quarters. This was the only
change worth especial notice in the Derby betting; that on
the Oaks was limited to two or three mares, and resulted in
a marked improvement in El'create, and a further decline in
the Farmer's Daughter, on whom no one seemed disposed to
invest at any price. '['he last quotations were as follows :

ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON.
Yesterday afternoon the annual general meeting of the
noblemen and gentlemen members of the Royal Yacht
Squadron of England, was held at the Thatched House
Tavern, St. James's-street, for the purpose of electing a
Commodore, vice the Earl of Yarborough, deceased, to
audit the accounts of the club, &c., and to complete the
arrangements of the grand regatta at Cowes, Isle of
Wight, in August next. Among other noblemen and
gentlemen present were the, Duke of Beaufort, the Duke
of Buccleuch, Marquis of Ormonde, Marquis of Bland
ford, Marquis of Conynghatn, Earl of Wilton, Earl of
Tyrconnel, Viscount Exmouth, Viscount Seaham, Sir B.
R. Graham, Sir H. Rivers, Sir 11. Parker, Sir J. Bayley,
Sir J. R. Carnsc, Sir T. M. Wilson, Sir R. B. W.
Bulkeley, Sir W. P. Galway, Sir A. J. Murray, Sir P.
H. Fleetwood, Hon. W. H. W. Hodges, &c.
The Marquis of DONEGAL, Vice-Commodore, was
unanimously called on to preside; and on his taking the
chair, briefly opened the business of the day by making
a few preliminary remarks explanatory of the nature of
the meeting-..
The Noble Chairman having been elected Commodore
of the Squadron,
The ballot for members and honorary members took
place. •
A grant of 2001. was then voted towards the erection
of a monument or land-mark to the memory of the late
Right lion. the Earl of Yarborough, Commodore of the
Royal Yacht Squadron. This, with the subscriptions
already received, will rendee the amount of fund col-
lected about 1,1301.
A series of resolutions having been proposed, seconded,
and adopted, the customary vote of thanks was presented
to the Noble Commodore.
The Marquis of DONEGAL, in an appropriate speech,
briefly acknowledged the compliment, and the meeting
separated.

THE LORD-LIEUTENANT OF
IRELAND.

DUBLIN, MAY 13.—This day's bulletin is as follows :
" His Excellency passed a quiet night, and feels somewha'
stronger this morning."

THE CROPS.—A. letter from Alexandria of the
28th ult., states that the corn harvest in Upper and Middle
Ee.ypt had been got in, and that the produce is very abun-
dant. The Viceroy, says the writer, estimates that there
will be about 4,300,000 hectolitres of corn for exportation
aboitt the month of July, at the rise of the waters of the Nile.
—A Vienna letter of the sth represents the growing crops
throughout the Austrian States to be in the most promising
condition, bet the potatoes have not come forward, and maize
has in many parts been substituted for that tubercle. This
corn brings a retui n of from eighty to ninety fur every grain
sown.
DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT BETIINAL-GREEN.— Last
night, shortly before eleven o'clock, the inhabitants residing
in the immediate vicinity of the Bethnal-green-road were
aroused fret's their slumbers by cries of "Fire 1" and the
springing of policemen's rattles, which for some time caused
the utmost confusion in the neighbourhood. In the space of
a few minutes flames were to be seen issuing from the
premises belonging to Mr. W. Miller, cabinet and musical
instrument maker, carrying on business at No. 5, Fuller-
street, in the above-named thoroughfare. The inmates at
this time were perfectly unconscious of the disaster, but
having been apprised of it, they made an attempt to ex-
tinguish the flames, which were then raging amongst the
stock, by pouring buckets of water upon them. Owing,
however, to the firm hold they had previously obtained,
they defied the exertions of all present ; and Mr. Aliller,e who
had entered the back workshop, was so overpowert:

ALARMING FIRE AT TRINITY COLLEGE, CAM-
BRIDGE.—
CAMBRIDGE, FAIDAY.—Last night the town of
Cambridge was thrown into a state of the utmost alarm and
confusion by the sudden outbreak of a fire, which at one
period threatened destruction to Trinity College. The
flames originated from some cause which cannot at present
be ascertained, in the kitchens belonging to the college, and
were, it appears, first discovered by Mr. Hudson, the cook.
At that time they had obtained such a strong hold, that it
at once became apparent that the fire would not be easily
extinguished. The necessary intelligence was promptly
forwarded to the proper authorities, and assistance having
been obtained, every person set to work most vigorously;
but, notwithstanding, the flames continued to spread fear-
fully, and a deal of time was lost before any impression
could be made upon them. The water was judiciously scattered
over the burning property, which at length had the desired
effect of cemquering the destructive element. By that period
the roof of the kitchen was burned off, and considerable da-
mage was done to the interior of the premises. The pro-
perty is insured in the Sun Fire-office for, it is understood,
10,000 i. The exact amount of the damage done is at
present unknown ; but, had the lire not been so oppor-
tunely discovered, the loss would, doubtlees, have been most
serious. It is impossible to describe the excitement and con-
fusion which prevailed upon the first outbreak of the fire.
The report at first was, that the whole of the college was
enveloped in flames.

COLCHESTER.—Mr. D. W. Harvey visited this town
on Saturday last, and called upon a number of his elec-
tioneering friends. A report is prevalent that he has still
an itching to become one of the borough representatives
again ; and is willing to resign his office of Police
Commissioner provided his return to Parliament can be
ensured.

FURTHER ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF BREAD.—
Yesterday the bakers throughout the metropolis made a
further advance "of one halfpenny and one penny in the
price of the 41b. loaf. The best bread is now per lit
from Is. 04d. to le. 2d., and that of a afgond quality from
