AND FURNESS

JUNCTION RAILWAY,

-•
The ordinary half-yearly meeting of the proprietors of this
company was held yesterday, at the offices of the company,
No. 1, Guildhall-chambers, Basinghall-atreet; the Earl of
Lonsdale in the chair.
The SECRETArn- read the advertisement calling the meeting,
and the report, from which we make the following extracts :
"It will be remembered that at the last half-yearly
meeting the progress of the works was reported to have been
impeded by the difficulties which were met with in obtaining
possession of the land; these are now entirely removed, as
the land required has been purchased from the whole of the
peeprietors (with one exception), and upon terms which it is
believed are as advantageous to the company as could pos-
sibly be expected.
"The whole quantity of land purchased is 370 acres, at a
cost, including compensation for severance and tenant right,
of 36,0001. ; this is exclusive of about twenty-two acres of
sands, forming part of the Duddon Estuary, the carious inte-
rests in which have been purchased at nominal amounts.
" This shows an average of about twelve acres and a quar-
ter to the mile, and an average cost per mile of about 1,1001.,
and from this will have to be deducted the proceeds of the
sale of surplus lands, which have been purchased on account
of their severance, and will be re-sold to the adjoining pro-
prietors, the company retaining such portions as are required
for stations.

"The whole of the land which has been purchased has not
given rise to one case of litigation or dispute, or of the exer-
cise of the compulsory powers of the Act of Parliament.
"The contracts for the heaviest portions of the line, of
those which may be called the measure of the time required
for the opening of the railway, are all let and in hand, and
extend over rather more than fifteen miles and a half of the
line.

" To these portions the directors have purposely confined
their present attention, inasmuch as the remaining sixteen
miles and a half of the line may be completed in from six to
eight months from their being commenced; and, forming as
they do an unconnected link in the communicatbn, present
expenditure on this portion of the works would remain un-
necessarily unproductive for a period of several months.
" You are aware that an Act of Parliament was obtained
last session for connecting your line with the Whitehaven
Junction Railway, by means of a tunnel under a part of the
town of Whitehaven. The contract drawings for this tunnel
are in a state of forwardness, and the engineer anticipates
that the contract may be let almost immediately, and corn.
pleted by the spring of next year. The estimate for this
work is 25,0001., which is authorised to be raised by an issue
of new shares, but may in the first instance be executed by
means of borrowed capital
" Of the fifteen miles and a half let, more than six miles will
be completed by September in the present year; and, as

TII E LIGHTS for FUTURE DAYS.
All can now be pleased, whatever is desired in Light. The
PEARL C,INDLE LAMP is the perfection of Candle Lights, and
must succeed ; its simplicity myriads will admire. To sell the ordi-
nary Candle Lamps is now impossible—the public have long enough
been pestered with such rubbish.
The DIAMOND CARCEL OIL LAMP is the best oil light in the
world. The Carcel Lamp is used in all the Palaces in Europe; this
is sufficient guarantee for all—it never will be out-done.
The STARLIGHT NIGHT LIGHT is a beautiful little light to
illumine the bedchamber. Al/ other night lights will be used no
more ; its economy and simplicity all will admire, for what can be
desired more than perfection? To what conclusion caa we come?
Certain, .heaceforward the only lights will be—the Sun, the mighty
gem of Heaven by day ; the Pearl and Diamond Lights at evening ;
and the Star at night, to illumine the British territory.

These splendid Lights burning continually at CLARK'S, the

CHARGE OF ARSON AGAINST A

YOUNG LADY.
BRISTOL, FEE. 24.—At our Police Court to-day a young
and handsome lady, named Sarah Outeridge, who is said to

ItL aenpgplez
be well connected, was placed at the bar upon suspicion of
iarmadintgh-ehoeuvsie.,
r'aedbot l
dence of the numerous witnesses examined, that riiss
Outeridge is the sister of a lady n med Meredith, who, with
her husband and child and Mr. Meredith's mother, had come
about .1 week since from Lancashire to take up their resi-
dence in Bristol, and had taken apartmenta for a time in
Mr. Langley's house. On Tuesday evening Mr. and Alra.
Meredith went out, and Miss Outeridge remained at home
in charge ( f their young child. At about twenty minutes
past seven o'clock some persons who were passing along
Cumberland-street observed that one of the bed-rooms over-
looking the street was on fire. They immediately gave the
alarm, and when the family went up stairs they found that
the furniture anti bedding in the room occupied by Miss
Outeridge and Mrs. Meredith, senior, were in flames. With
the assistance cf some neighbours, the fire was extinguished.
In about three-quarters of an hour after this, Mr. Langley
observed that his bed-room was on fire. He gave an alarm,
and with some difficulty the flames were extinguished, and it
was hoped that all was over. Half an hour after this an
alarm of fire was again heard, and it was found that a third
bed-room on the same story was in flames. The hangings
of the bed and be,iding were hi flames, but they were extin-
gui,hed. Scarcely had this been fully accomplished, when
fire was observed in the small drawing-room, on the first-
fle)r, the curtains arid window blinds of this apartment being
also wrapped in flames, The burning materials were pulled
down and the fire was soon extinguished. A minute exa-
mination of the premises was now made, and it was con-
cluded that all danger was completely • over, when
another alarm was given that the front parlour was on
fire. On entering the apartment, the window hangings
and blinds, which, as in the previous cases, were far
removed from the fireplace, were found to be in flames.
A policeman and several other persons exerted them-
selves and saved the remainder of the furniture, and upon,
a close examination being made, the police found that
there was a blister mark on the painted wall against
which the bottom of the curtains hung, as if a candle
had been placed there for the purpose of setting fire to
them. The evidence, which failed to show any motive,
was of a merely circumstantial character. It was proved
that the prisoner was seen in one of the bedrooms
shortly before it caught fire, and also that she was in
,the parlour a few minut-s before that was seen in
flames; but a servant was with her for the whole time,
or within a few moments of the whole time It was
likewise shown that Miss Outeridge had been told that
she was last up stairs, and must have set the room on
fire, end she said she supposed she must,
,but her
brother would pay the damag•e. The examination web
proceeding when our account left.

this portion will connect Whitehaven with St. Bees, the di-
rectors will have it in their power to consider the expediency
of opening this communication in the ensuing autumn, al-
though they are at present by no means decided as to the
policy of this step, looking to the very short further period
at which their anticipations of the opening of the whole line
are fixed.

"The remaining nine miles, which are let, are con-
tracted to be finished in April, 1848; assumin; the com-
pletion of the Duddon Crossing at the same period, the
line may be opened throughout in the spring of the ensuing
year.
" The Whitehaven Junction Railway is at present open
throughout to Whitchaven for goods traffic ; and the
Government Inspector is expected on the Ist March. when
the line will be opened for passengers. On the other hand,
the Furness Railway is in active working, both for passengers
and minerals, and its extensions to Ulverstone and Broughton
are expected to be completed at about the same time with
your own line."
The CHAIRMAN said that the report was so full and expla-
natory, that it was unnecessary for him to say anything fur-
ther. There was every prospect of their being able to open
the line about spring twelve months, as the report stated ; but
it would be necessary to make a call of 41. per share between
this and September, and he anticipated that it would be a
long time ere an additional call should have to be made. He
would conclude by proposing that the report should be re-
ceived, adopted, and circulated.
The motion was unanimously agreed to.
SPECIAL MEETING.
The meeting was then made special for the purpose of con-
firming resolutions of the board of directors, declaring cer-
tain shares in the company to be forfeited for non-payment
of calls, and authorising the sale or other disposition of such
shares. _ _

A resolution confirmatory of the resolution of the direc-
tors was then, on the motion of Mr. KNOX, seconded by
Mr. W.tLEY, unanimously agreed to.
It appeared that the total number of shares was 945, which
stood in the names of 19 shareholders; 115 of these shares
were the only ones on which would arise a loss to the com-
pany of 21. per share on sale at tho present market price.
This having terminated the business of the meeting, a rote
of thanks was, on the motion of Mr. Waley, seconded by Mr.
Bowker, given to the Noble Chairman and directors.
The meeting then separated.

SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.)
(Berore Mr. Commissioner BULLOCK.)
FEREMEYER V. CLARKE.

This was a case in which the plaintiff did not ap-
pear, and an application was made by Mr. laberwood,
an attorney, for coats of his attendance on behalf of
the defendant, who was also present.
The Learned JUDGE, on referring to the new Act,
said Mr. Isherwood had no locus standi, unless he
paid into court the amount of the fees already paid
by plaintiff. He might then be heard, and the cause
would be struck out, the defendant being allowed
the coats of the day, and for the attendance of his
attorney.
Mr. Isherwood said he had a good defence on the
merits, and would pay the costs to abide the event.
The cause was then struck out. _ _ _

In another case the Learned Judge held that costs
of attendance, &c., could not be allowed where de-
fendants admitted the debt, unles7, they had refused
to do so, and s renlered the attendance of attorneys
and witnesses necessary.

MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.)
John Bentley, a man of respectable appearance, was
brought before Mr. Hardwick, charged with stealing
271., the moneys of his employer.
Mr. Samuel Pratt stated that be was an uphol-
sterer, and carried on business at No. 49, New Bond-
street. The prisoner was in his employ as ware-
houseman up to the 21st of last month, cn which day
witness gave him the sum of 271., and directed him
to proceed to Windsor, and pay for some property
which he had purchased. The prisoner went to
Windsor for that purpose, but did not return, as he
ought to have done. Witness subsequently gave
information to the police, but nothing was seen of the
prisoner till last night, when he was taken into cus-
tody. Witness wished for a remand, as, on searching
the prisoner's lodgings, he had found a number of
duplicates relating to property he believed belonged
to him.

The prisoner admitted he got tipsy, and lost a por-
tion of the money, and spent the rest.
Mr. lixaDwlcKE directed the depositions to be taken
in this case, and remanded him for a week for farther
evidence.

[The attention of the authorities is called to the
very uncomfortable position in which the reporters
are placed at this court. The reporters' box is
situated directly opposite to the entrance to the court,
in disagreeable proximity to the prisoners' dock, ex-
posed to all the filth and vermin, which frequently are
seen crawling on the railings thereof. This is not
the only annoyance ; there is a door, directly over the
entrance door, which when open, as it almost always
is, admits such a current of cold air, which, falling
direct on the unfortunate reporter's head, renders him
extremely liable to catch colds in the head and eyes of
the worst description. The cold at times is so intense
as to incapacitate the reporter from writing. It is sin-
cerely hoped that some remedy will be speedily
applied that will render the condition of the repre-
sentatives of the press more comfortable.]

THE DELUGE.

" A prophet always, in my ministry holy,
On the future I dare to interrogate God:
The princes of earth to chastiselor their folly,
Tb' old world shall be swept by an o'erpowering flood.
Already upon them, the tide growls, and lashes
Its limits: 'Look, masters, it comes, wild and free!'
I say to them' Look;' but they answer Thou dreamest:'

Poor kings! they shall all be engulfed inihes;;!--
" What for thee, 0 my God, these good kings, have they
done?

So many there are, with whose laws we are blessed!
'Tis the people their rights have forgot; and we groan
'Heath the weight of our down-crushing burdens op-
pressed.
But the waves speed their march, irresistibly willed,
Against these chiefs, once so well pampered: ah me !
An ark for themselves they're too witless to build—
So poor kings, they shall all be engulfed in the sea!
" Who speaks to the waves? A despot of Afric,
A black son of Ham, a wild barefooted king—
' Down!' cries he, base waves, to my fetish antique
Yield ever, and double the sweet gold ye bring.'
And this excellent king, his dear lucre a-taking
From Christian sea-rovers and traders in blood,
Sells his subjects, to slave it, our sugar a-making—
Poor kings, they shill all be engulfed in the flood!
"' Come here!' cries a sultem of Asia, I will it!
Wives, viziers, and eunuchs, up! start into motion!
Throw up your pale corses around rne, to still it,
Or bank in the waves of this turbulent ocean.'
And then, in his harem all perfumed, from cut
Which already his terrified guards seek to flee,
Ile smokes coolly, yawns, and makes heads fly about—
Poor kings, they shall all be engulfed in the sea!
" In our Europe from which this great deluge outflows,
United in vain, to lend each other aid;
0 God, be our judge!' all have cried in their woes:
Swim, swim on always,' in reply God hath said;
Those dread powers already the deluge nigh drowns,
Their proud thrones fall in dust 'neath the hands of the
free,
And money is coined with the gold of their crowns'—
Poor kings, they shall all be engulfed in the sea!
"' This ocean, oh prophet, what is it?' ye say:
'Tis us, Peoples, unbound from the fetters of hunger;
'Tis us, more instructed, and clearing away
That vain crowd of monarchies, useful no longer;
Our on-moving billows so long led astray,
God makes pass o'er these sons of the stubborn knee;
Now the sun shineth forth, and the st,Tm calms away—
Poor kings, they are all in the depths of the sea!"

The translation is but of indifferent merit ; yet we
are thankful to Lacigogne for having afforded even
this version to the English public of the last and not
the least stirring of the songs of Beranger.

cu• ALM

LONDON, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1847.

It would appear as if the Legislature, in giving
their sanction to the Bank Charter Act of 1844,
had resolved by every practicable means to
render the working of the Act of 1819, which
had already at various times occasioned such
fearful calamities, and general distress, as
oppressive as it could possibly be made. It
was not sufficient that the principle of that Act
should be maintained, and that every Bank of Eng-
land note should be convertible on demand into

bullion, at the fixed price of 31. 17s. 10id. per ounce,
but stores of bullion were required to be laid up in
various parts of the country, not only in England,
where there might possibly have been some slight
utility in such hoards, but also in Scotland and Ire-
land, where the circulation of 11. notes and the
habits of the people, who greatly prefer the
smaller denominations of notes to bullion
for general *e, rendered it absolutely use-
less. We believe it will be readily admitted
by any person who has resided for any
lengthened time in either country, that sovereigns
scarcely ever pass from hand to hand, and that when
they are received in payment of accounts, or change
of the larger notes, that they are speedily exchanged
for Bank paper. We have recently heard a respected
Scottish clergyman state that he had not seen a
sovereign in his own immediate district for more
than two years. It is perfectly manifest, therefore,
that the same stringent rules as to a reserve of bul-
lion
would not be required in either of the sister
countries. Both were, however, dealt with precisely
in the same manner and subjected to the same regu-
lations that were enforced in England, where the ab.
surd law against the
rcirculationcarrying
of notes under .51.
fe
made gold necessary
rryingon the ordinary
The business of the country. Scotch and Irish
banks were permitted to issue
certainaeuetof quan-
tity of notes, being the average
am
their
circulation for twelve weeks previous to the pass-
ing of the Act of 1844, and they were compelled
to keep bullion in their vaults equal to the amount
of ttie notes that might be issued beyond the fixed
quantity. The same rule was also made with respect
to the country banters in the several districts of
England. In consequence of this law, a sum which,
generally speaking, exceeds 3,000,0001. sterling in
gold, is kept uselessly hoarded in the sister kingdoms,
by far the greater portion of which might be substi-
tuted fur Bank of England notes, and would thus give
great additional strength to that body. The
2,000,000/. sterling for which it is said they are now
in treaty with the Emperor of RUSSIA, if indeed all the
arrangements of the transaction have not already been
concluded, might easily be spared from the Scotch and
Irish banks, with great benefit to all the parties con-
cerned.

We cannot conceive what the most zealous
bullionist could require—so long as any description
of notes are tolerated—more than that the notes in cir-
culation throughout the country should at all times be
convertible into gold on demand. It would surely 1

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.

(Before Mr. Sergeant ADAMS, Assistant-Judge, and a
Bench of Magistrates.)
The Court sat this morning (Wednesday), at the
Guildhall, Westminster, by adjournment from Clerk-
enwell on Monday last, tor the purpose of hearing
the appeal cases which had not been disposed of on
that occasion.

To-day, as upon Monday, the appeals which came
on involved simply questions connected with the set-
tlement of paupers, not any of which presented any
feature of novelty.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WORSHIP-STREE7.
George Batley, a performer at the Britannia Saloon,
Hoxton, was placed at the bar for final examination,
charged with violating the person of a young woman,
named Elizabeth Clarke, about sixteen years of age,
the daughter of a widow at Hackney ; and Henry
Pitt, another actor in the same establishment, was
charged with aiding and assisting the first prisoner
in the commission of the offence.
The particulars of the first examination were pub-
lished in this paper about a fortnight since, and the
complainant, upon being resworn, and repeating her
.forme evidence, which she did without any important
va ins, added, that previous to the outrage, Pitt
and a.Tirl named Plaster, an acquaintance of his, who
had ioduced her to enter the house, ran out of the
room together during its perpetration, bolting the
door after them on the outside, to prevent her escape,
and that to enable him to accomplish his purpose,
Batley not only flung her to the ground, and struck
her head against the boards with such violence that
she was rendered totally insensible, and remained so
for a great length of time, but forcibly held one of
his hands over her mouth, to prevent her screams
being heard by the neighbours.
In partial confirmation of this, police constable
Ball, of the N division, was called, and stated that
upon afterwards examining the house, whilst the pri-
soners were in the station•house, he found a strong
bolt on the edge of the door, as the young woman had
described, and that it was impossible for any person
inside to escape when that was fastened.
Mr. Aunt, who appeared for the prisoners, ex-
pressed his intention to reserve their defence for another
occasion, furthan than stating that:.he was instructed
that the particulars deposed to had been much exag-
gerated ; and
Mr. ARNOLD, who said he should send the case
for the consideration of a jury, ordered the deposi-
tions to be taken by Mr. Vine, the chief clerk, and
fully committed both prisoners for trial, Batley as the
principal in the outrage, and Pitt as an accessory be
fore the fact.

CALCUTTA.

(From the Calcutta Overland Price Curreivt of

September 18.)
The Bombay Government express of the overlent) ;
mail arrived on the 14th instant, but the regular m Ai) '
has not yet come to hand; by this opportunity Lon-
don news to the 7th of August has been received, and
the mercantile intelligence so brought is again of a
gloomy nature ; most articles of colonial produce had
fallen in price, and there was evident symptoms of
another severe pressure on the money market; never-
theless, the appearance of the growing crops still con-
tinue most promising, and there is happily now little
doubt of a large harvest ; but, until the same is ac-
tually at market, but little hope can be entertained of
any very material improvement, and sufficient time
has not elapsed for this intelligence to produce any
perceptible change on the markets here.
The satisfactory position of mercantile affairs here,
noticed at the time of the departure of the mail per
Bentinck, has continued without interruption, a bris';)
demand having been experienced for nearly eve
article of export from this country, and the tran'4:,Y.'
tions in imports, although not so general as is u!maiii
experienced at this season of the xvear, have been to a
fair extent. Manchester goods of nearly all descrip-
tions meet ready

THAMES.-(THIS DAY.)

TVm. Kerr, a powerfully-built sailor, was charged
with feloniously wounding Lawrence Henderson, his
shipmate, by stabbing him in the thigh.
It appeared that both parties belonged to the
Prince of Wales, a collier, now lying off Black wall ;
and yesterday evening the prosecutor was sent in one
of the ship's boats to the Black wall pier, to fetch off
the prisoner, who had been ashore that day on liberty.
As they were rowing to the ship, the prisoner seemed
in a very quarrelsome humour, and they had no
sooner reached the deck than the prisoner, wi!hout
any cause assigned, challenged the prosecutor to
fight. This he declined, sod pushed Kerr away,
when the latter drew his clasp-knife from his pocket,
and, with a savage oath, stabbed Anderson with it in
the left thigh. He was sober at the time.
Police-constable K 329, who apprehended the
prisoner, produced the knife, a formidable-looking
weapon.
In his defence the prisoner, in a surly manner, said
that the prosecutor struck him in the face first, and
made his nose bleed, adding " and then I did that."
This was denied, and the police-constable said,
when he took the prisoner into cu-stody, there were
no marks of blood on his face.

Mr. BALLANTINE, after commenting on the brutal,
cowardly, and assassin-like nature of the attack,
committed him to Newgate to take his trial for the
felonious stabbing.

EXCHANGE.

Eor the after-packet, per Bentinck, more drawers
having come forward, rather better rates for remitters
we,. e obtained. Not much has since been doing,
pal ties waiting the receipt of their letters previous to
op. gating to any extent ; the present rates may there-
flu .e be quoted at 1-11* to 1-111 for six months'
sif .:ht, and 1-11 i to 1-11 i for 10 months' date.
Freights—No falling off having been experienced
in the demand for tonnage for sugar and rice to
Cr rest Britain, and an extensive demand having sprung
p for vessels to the Mauritius, the rates of freight
previously ruling have been well supported, and in
many instances a slight advance has been obtained.
Since the arrival of the express, however, there has
been a little doing, and the tendency is downward.
