31ARY•LA-BOXR.—Yestertlay, at one o'clock, this Gentle-
man presented himself before the presiding Magistrates, Wm.
Hon me and EDMUND 010F/131f, Eattrs. and Lord o MT•
rout), who was attracted to the Office in consequence of tts
being the day appointed for the final hearing of the matter so
long at issue between Mr. Parkins and the Parochial Officers
Of Mary-la-bone.
• On the case being called on,
11r. LLOYD, Solicitor to the parish, presented himself, and
read the order of affiliation made at the Quarter Sessions on the
2d of August, 11122, confirming that made at this office some
tune before. 'This order merely contained the usual averments
of the award.Of 4s. per week, and the expences, the whole of
which the defendant was to pay. The order or summons aver-
red a debt of 71. 164. upon the order.
Mr. Garr err it then said, that as the complaint was that
such a sum wag due, the, necessary proof must be adduced.
Mr. 11PNaughton, one of the overseers of the Parish, being
then sworn and examined by Mr. I,lawn, said he made the
complaint, and the amount due to the churchwardens and over-
seers, on the order of a child nffiled by Hannah White against
Mr. J. W. Parkins, was 71. les. He came there to claim thst
sum. The order was signed by Mr. Rawlinsan and Mr.
Griffith.

A long and irrelevant cross-examination then ensued, at the
close of which Mr. Parkins addressed the Bench, condemning
them for what they had done in this case. The coterie of the
parish had published him in every shape to the world. He
then declared that a man named IV►ckstead was the father of
the child, and so convinced was he of the fraud attempted to be
imposed on him, that he would not make himself a willing
agent to any .thing of the kind, and therefore would not enter
into any compromise, but desired the Magistrates to do as they
thought*.

• MI:. (Ittirmu.—Don't be rash, Sir; 1 have but to commit
you, if the money be not instantly paid. lam sitting here to
exercise equal justice to all men.
Mr. Parkins.—l am an advocate for the exercise of equal
justice, Sir, therefore do as you think proper.
Guirrtm—Undouhtedly. Sir, so I will; and as I
never make any distinctions, 801 p this case I do my duty with.
out respect to persons or yank*, and there Cure Commit you to

Posed of this case, and have ddr.e my'cluty.-
Mr. Parkins:--Very' well; Sir, if you want the money, you
must take the meanctlie law allows you. Let me see your war-
rant of committal.
Mr. Parking then told the parish officers that he would indict
them all for a conspiracy, and turning to the Rev. Mr. Ben-
'food, one of the Curates, said, "Are you Parson ? if 'you
have any thing to do with, these, 1 shall include you- in the
provecatinn:"
Theoffice was crowded to 'excess. On the warranybeing
made out it was placed into the has.ds of Mr. Parkins: fOr per-
mull, and he having done so, went into the Clerk's office and
paid the Chief Clerk, Mr. 'Mallen, the into demanded, 7/. lds.
with 6s. Gd. costs, and then left the office.

PROJECTED RA I LWA Y FROM NEWCASTLE-

UPON.TYNE TO CAIiLIS-1.1-1::

A letter from Newcastle-upon-Tyne says, al-
though it has not been found practicable hitherto
to cut a canal across the country t(i
there is every reason to believe now that a Rail-
svny will 'shortly be este blislied,'n, a meeting of
the,, principal Landowners of the County of
Northumberland will he held during the ap-
proaching Assizes, (in the middle of the emitting
month, A ugest,) to take that very iinpurtant
matter into consideration. And from the senti-
ments is Lich seem so generally to prevail, there
can he little doubt of the measure being carried
into effect. It is .very Obvious that a Railway
through such an important tract of country. must
be highly beneficial in a commercial point of
view, and niti,t parliculnrly tend to advance
the interests both of Newcastle-upon-Tyne Hod
Carlisle. We submit the following extract from
a fetter MI the subject, addressed to Sir JAMES
G tc.titam,of iiirkstall,l art. by that able Englineer,
W I T,1.1 AM CIIA PM A Nti Esq. who was originally
'employed still' Mr.,J ES,OP 'to survey the line of
F country for. an intend.ed Cann), 28 years ago
" The original line laid out by use in 17913, for a Canal from
Newcastle to Carlisle, (with such deviations as circumstances
may require) is pecularly advantageous for a Railway convey-
ins articles both ways, as it rims for 31 miles on a level, and
the rematning'distanct to the basin at Carlisle is 33i miles, in
which course. it passes within a short diatance of the Earl of
Carlisle's Collieries, both in Cumberland, and those leased in
Northumberland, and would in general be along, or near to
the formerly-designed line of Liana!, so far as consistent with
leng levels, either real or
.approxintatt, between.the summit and
,baso of the inclined planes,'which would be substituted for locks,
and not more frequently occurring than the circumstances of
the ground might require. Under this system, which ever
course one line of carriage predominated materially in weight,
the. inclined. planes In that direction downwards would be
self-acting ; as the leaden carriages_ would draw up the less
heavy ascending ones, and In either case steam-engines at
the head of .the inclined planes (which would be very few In-
deed) would overcome the preponderancy of the ascending line.
The whOle.'transit both ways could he 'effected without the aid
of horses t nnd experience in the vicinity of the Tyne and
Wear 'hair proved, that by due arrangement, unnecessary. to
discuss at present, trains of heavy loaders waggons, each con-
taining 113 cwt. are moved at the rate of six or seven miles an
hour; therefore, goods leaden either at Newcastle, or from the
Carlisle Basin in the morning, may arrive at the opposite ex..
tretnity oaths same day, and not only the usual article of con-
veyance., but passengers between the extremes, and country
people, with the prodrice of their farms to and front market,
would derive essential advantage, and add to the revenue of
the Subscribers to this public and national work of virtually
uniting the two seas, .by means of a simple and unexpensive
mode of conveyance of the products of the Wert indica and
freiand, from the Basin at Carlisle,' and the imports from the
Bank,: Gri•oncinti, and Holland, front the river Tyne, where
they are imported at lower freights than most other parts of the
kingdom, be6tise ofilie exports front Newcastle, far exceeding
Inettnisotis, and consequently affording outward freights to all
vessels that may enter the river," . . ,
