These spacious and accurate maps, constructed
ul3°ll a system of scale and proportion from recent
_ll
a thorities by John Sharpe, and engraved on steel by
Nilson Lowry, are proceeding with undiminished
excellence.`When the intended number--fifty-four
Peeshall be completed, the
work must prove one of the

uliarly moderate.

As an illustration to the Bible, this map must
prove (from its remarkable dimensions, exactitude,

4 GRAVESEND, OCT. 22.—At the sitting of the magis-
irate,
here this morning, William Wilson, charged with
l'sving caused the death of his reputed wife, was brought
up ter further examination. The principal additional
evidence was that of Mr. Sanders, the medical man
Failed in to see the deceased, who repeated the testimony
110 bad given before the Coroner, and when pressed for
sil opinion as to whether the blows the deceased re-
ceived from the prisoner had caused the apoplexy, said
that he did not think they had. Owing to the indispo-
s_llion of one of the witnesses, and the consequent irnpos-
libility of completing the depositions, the prisoner was
again remanded.
GAS COMPANIES.—On the motion of Mr. Hume,
returns have been procured from the various gas com-
panies in the United Kingdom. These returns disclose
some curious facts. The dividends fluctuate exceed-
ingly in amount, and on several occasions while they are
Ss high as 10 per cent. one year, there are no dividends
at all next year. The highest rate of dividend ever
Paid was in the case of the Derb
which y Gas Light and Coke
Cornpany, aid in 1841 the extraordinary divi-
dend of p
35/. per cent. The rate of dividend it is now
paying is 71. 10s. The highest rate charged for gas is
cons4ls. per 1,000 cubic feet, and the lowest for ordinary
umption 6s. There is one of the companies men-
., •
cdieta in the returns whose profits are not received by
viduals but go towards a
üblic ose. The M an-
profieater Gas Committee of the Town ur

SOOLOO.--RETUEN OF THE PIRATES.—
13y ytthe
trival at Singapore of the Velocipede from Sooloo, ar-
culars have been received of the advent at that placpe of
three piratical prows belonging to the fleet which was
Ipaattacked by the Hon. Company's steamer Nemesis at
Ind of May last, when near the Bruni River, Borneo
roper. • Of the six that escaped at Borneo three only
Irl!rived in safety at Sooloo about the middle of June.
l'he Velocipede has brought in two Chinese captives
Who were taken by the pirates at Lingin, but managed
hMto Swim off to the Velocipede while at anchor at Soolco.
anilla man has also been brought over, who with
e assistance of a bamboo managed to saim off to the
vessel after being in captivity two years.
‘....CAUTION TO PERSONS EMPLOYED ON RAILWAYS.—
We are glad to find that the Brighton Railway Com-
pany., are pursuing a system which appears calculated to
rdiminish greatly the casualties attached to railway tra-
elling,—namely, in every case where a breach of the
egulations occurs, of taking the case before the ma-
gistrates for adjudication. Last week, James Saxby, a
Point and signal man, was examined before Mr. Simeon
and other magistrates, at Croydon, on a charge of
h 'avinc., by neglect of duty, caused a collision between
tvvo t rains running in opposite directions. From the
evidence it appeared that on the night of Friday, the
lost instant, at forty-eight minutes past ten
o'clock,whenan up and down train were due at the Croydon
station, the defendant, instead of being at his points,
Was in his box on the other side of the line, in conse-
quence Of which the trains were on the same line of
rails, and a collision took place. By the careful look-
out and prompt exertions of the engine-drivers on both
trains, and the steam being shut off, the shock was not
very great, and the injury was of a slight nature.
'Under these circumstances, and Mr. Acton .(the Super-
intendent of Police) and others having given the pri-
80ner a good character, he was fined onlyloisn. and
