tered into for the hoisting and lowering apparatus. The
operations are to be confined in the first instance to the
conveyance of heavy merchandise from the West India
Docks—the great emporium of such commodities—to
London ; subsequent arrangements will extend through-
out the whele line, namely, from the Brunswick wharf
at Blackwall to tho terminus in Fenchurch-street. it
is proposed to attach one or inure loaded waggons ter
every passenger train (which, as our readers are aware,
run every quarter of an hour thrcughout the day), and
arrangements have Leen made which will obviate the
possibility of delay- from this cause. The goods will be
delivered at the doer of the consignee in the same vehi-
cle as will be used on :he railway, the vehicle being
lowered into the road so a; to render unloading and
ieloading unnecessary. It is calculated that at least
2001. per week will thus be added to the Company's
revenue—an estimate which we do not think is by any
means ovemted, when it is considered that no extra
power will be required, and consequently no further ex-
pense incurred, except keidentay.
Wi:h respect to the passenger traffic, although it is
yet far from being what it was expected to be, and what
we are convinced it ultimately will be, the gradual and
steady improvement which it has experienced, augurs
well for its future results. The following are the re.
turns for three months in the past and present years:-
1840. 1841.

September

T0ta1...... £9,027 14,208
Thus exhibiting an increase of about 50 per cent.--a
proportion which it is believed will be kept up during
the ensuing winter months. The number of passen-
gers conveyed during the last four months has been as
follows :
July
August 252,044
September
October .

The total number of passengers carriqd on the rail-
way in the sistsen months that have elapsed since its
opening, has been upwards of 2,700,000, and this with-
out loss of life or limb, or any serious accident whatever.
The number of passengers embarked at the Bruns-
wick Wharf, Blaeksvail, during the fifteen months end-
ing in September last was not ►ess than 780,000. We
have no doubt that nest year even this large number
will be greatly increased.—Railway Times.

ADDITIONAL NEWS FROM THE

AMERICAN PAPERS.

LATEST FROM TEXAS.—Yesterday morning, says
the New Orleans Picayune, the steam•packet Kingston,
Captai❑ Boylan, arrived from Galveston, bringing us
dates to tie 10th instant.

The election returns are not yet complete, but as far
as heard from, the vote for President stands 3,151
majority for Houston over Burnet ; and for Vice-Pre•
sident, as far as received, Burleson's majority over
Hunt is 829. There is not the least doubt of the suc-
cess of Houston and Burleson.

The Austin Gazette says that some Shawnee traders
had arrived at the settlement on Red River, and state
that a " large body of white rnen had fought the In-
dians on the Upper Brazos for three successive days,
and defeated them." This body is supposed to be the
Santa Fe troops.

The Gazette of August 23 has the following
".The schooner of war Campechana arrived nt Gal-
veston on the '2d ult., with Colonel Peraza, as Envoy
Extraordinary from tha Government of Yucatan to
the Government of Texas, with proposals to furnish
200,000$ tor the immediate equipment of the squadron
to co-operate with them against the Cor4tralists. Colonel
Paraza had gene to Austin.

A proclamation has been issued by Arista, for a'l the
male inhabitants of 14 ears and upwards to assemblo
at Monelova, for the purpose of forming an army for
the invasion of Texas early in October.
This information has been imparted to the Govern-
ment at Austin under affidavit.

The cities of Houston and Galveston still rernaia
healthy.

A duel was fought at Galveston on the sth ult., be-
tween Dr. Garden and Lieut. Lansing, both of the
navy, in which the latter was severely wounded. They
fought with pistols at five paces. The clothes of each
were repeatedly pierced with balls, and on the sixth fire
Lieut. Lansing was wounded in the right thigh.
Gen. Houston is cllcted, according to the Houston
Star, by a large majority.
LATER FROM MEXICO.

By the bark Ann Louisa, Capt. Clifford, we have
Vera Cruz papers to tha 14th ult.

The Censor of the 10th contains a spirited cornrnu-
nicAtion from General Santa Anna, dated the Bth, to
the Governor of the Department, in the nature of a
manifesto, in which he denounces the acts of President
Bastamente, and declares his cordial adhesion to the
" plan" of General Paredes and Valencia.

The Censor of the 14th contains a still longer cora,
munication from General Santa Anna to General
Almonte (Bustamente's right hand man), dated Fort
Perote, September 9th, complaining particularly of the
course of the President in declaring the capital in a
state of siege, placicg himself personally at th•
head of the army, and subjecting the civil power to
the military. He concludes by saying, " I accuse,
you and his Excellency General Bustamente, of -having
violated the Constitution in the matters spoken Of ;
and in consequence thereof, I no longer acknowledge
the authority of said General, either as the head of the
army, or as President of the Republic ; nor do I ac-
knowledge you as the legitimate organ of the Govern-
ment for communications relative to the Ministry
of War."

The " plan of Paredos," as it is called, 1. e. the re-
volutionary project broached by that General in the
latter part of August, finds many adherents. The de-
partments of Vera Cruz, Guanaxuato, Queretaro,
Zacatecas, &c., are represented to have pronounced in
favour of the movement. General Paredes, by the
last accounts, was in Guanaxuato, at the head of 4,000
men, in connection with General Costazar. There
were rumours that Tampico had pronounced, but this
is doubtful.

The city of Mexico has been the scene of some dii-
turbances—a part of the garrison having revolted—but
the Government maintained its position. The extra-
ordinary powers of Bustamente were conferred, or as-
surned, in consequence of the revolutionary movements ;
but the assumption of such powers seems to hare in-
creased the opposition to his administration.
A public meeting was held at Vera Cruz, Sept.

FIENDISH CONDUCT.--011 Saturday last, W.
Sugden and John Fox, both in the employ of the Low
Moor Company, met an awful death at the pit near the
Chapel House Inn, Low Moor. They were descending
into the shaft early in the morning, one of them being
employed to tend a- pony which hurries the corves in
the pit, when the rope broke and they were both precipi-
tated to the bottom—a distance of about sixty or seventy
yards. They were, of course, both killed ; but the most
lamentable part of the circumstance is that there can be
no doubt that they have been deliberately sacrificed, as it
was immediately ascertained that the rope had been cut
nearly through, and the part cut covered, so as to pre-
' vent its being discovered. Many reports are in circula-
tion which, for the ends of justice, we withhold. Sugden
ha„, left a wife, arid nine children, and Fox had been only

THE COUNTY NEW POLICE.

(FROM A CORRESPONDENT-)
LONGTON, POTTERIES, Nov. 3.—1 send you enclosed
a copy of an informatioa exhibited to Thomas Bally
Rose and John Harvey, the -former being our Pottery
Stipendiary- Magistrate, the latter being a Magistrate for
the county, And private gentleman.
Stonier was summoned to answer the charge before the
Bench of Magistrates at Stoke-upon-Trent, on Friday
last, and also to answer an assault on Levi Wantling,which i
he committed at the time he illegally searched the house
of John Mackay without a warrant, during the time he
had Mackay in- custody. The cases came on before
Thomas B. Rose, Philip Barnes Broadie, and John Har-
vey, Esqrs., Magistrates, on Friday last, and the investi-
gation occupied upwards of four hours, when the Magis-
trates intimated that they would give their judgment at
Longton this day. The parties attended at Longton this
day, when all the above Magistrates being present, Mr.
Rose gave the judgment against Richard Stonier, the
Superintendent, which was, that for the assault on Levi
Wantling he be fined 41. and costs, and in default of pay-
ment one month's-imprisonment ; and for his conduct to
John Mackay, that lie be suspended for one month.
. THE DEPOSITION OF JOHN MACKAY,
Of Stoke -upon-Trent, in the county of Stafford, Beer-
seller by Retail, who on his oath saith as- follows :
I have been a resident householder of Stoke-upon-
Trent, for fifteen years and upwards. lam the owner
of a canal boat which I let on the line, and which is of
the value of one hundred ponds, or thereabouts. I
have carried. on the business or a Retail Beer-seller in
Stoke-upon-Trent aforesaid for about five years. On
Monday the eeth of September last, at ten o'clock, I
had occasion to carry from my boat to my dwelling-
house ;the said boat being on the Trent and Mersey
Canal, about tie) yards from my house), three deal
plastics, or boards, of about 16 feet in length each.
As I was carrying two of the boards, I met
James Hope, policeman; - of Stoke-upon-Trent,
who saw me 'carry the • said boards, or planks to
my house, as I verily believe. On my returning a few
minutes afterwards- with the third plank or board .the
said James Hope spoke to me and asked me what I was
eoires to do with the boards, and where 1 had got them
1 e,
trom. I immediately told the said James Hope that I
had got. them from my boat, that I had purchased them
from Jamee Taylor, of Langport dock-yard, which is
about four miles from Stoke-upon-Trent aforesaid, and
that 1 was going to use them in some alterations I was
about to make -at the stable of the dwelling-house I was
then living in.- The said James Hope then requested
me to go up to the .Police-office with him, which I rea-
dily consented to do, and iminciliately accompanied him
to the Police-calve, where, after waiting some
time, I was questioned by Richard Stonier,
the Superintendent, who took down my answers to his
inquiries in writing ; after being so questioned the said
-Richard Stonier ordered in into the kitchen, when he
put an iron chain on my leg, which weighed about six
pounds, and pet me into a yell where there were two
men, each being chained by the leg and fastened to the
ring in the floor. I was also fastened to the ring, and
could not move front it more than three or four feet. 1
requested the said Superintendent Richard Stonier to let
me sit tip by the kitchen fire, which he refused to allow
me to do.. I had nothing to lie down upon :set a small
couch, upon which was a mattress, but no clothes to cover
me. Only two of us could recline upon the couch at one
time. 1 was so chained and confined the whole of the
night of Mondry, all day ors Tuesday, and the whole of
Wednesday. .0u Wednesday night I was removed front
the cell, and put into a smaller one, chained to a ring in
the floor as before, but there was nothing to lie down
upon excepe a board and nothing to cover me. On
Thursday morning I was taken before Thomas Bailey
nose, Esq., the stipendiary Magistrate for Stoke-upon-
Trent, who wee, sitting at Tuustall, six miles from
Stoke, and immediittely discharged ; the said Richard
Stonier, not offering- ally evidence against toe. During
the whole of the said time. recnu Monday night to Thurs-
day morning. I Was not allowed to see my wife or any
of my friends, or to communicate with any one, except
thrbugh the police-officers. I never offered the least
resistance to the officers, or attempted to get away, yet
the iron put on me on Wednesday night, was much
heavier than the one I had previously worn. I
asked - the said Richard Stonier on Thursday
morning, the reason of my being removed
into a smaller cell. and a heavier iron put on my leg,
when he sneeringly replied, " It was not well to stay too
long in one place." During the whole time of my con-
finement, as before mentioned, I saw no Magistrate, or
any person whatever, except the police people. I re-
quested the said Richard Stonier several times to take me
before.a Magistrate that. I might clear myself from .any
charge he had against me. The said Thomas Bailey
Rose, Esq., was on Tuesday -at Burslem, about four
miles front Stoke-upon-Trent, ard within a mile of the
residence of Mr. James Taylor, from whom I had pur-
chased the beards, and whose mane and residence I had
given to the said Richard Stonier on Monday night,
when I was fiest)confined. On Wednesday the said Thomas
Bailey Rose sat at Longton, which is within three miles
of Stoke-upon-Treat, and I sun informed, and verily
believe it to be true, that the said Thomas Bailey Rose,
Esq., and his clerk were at the Police-office, at Stoke-
upon-Trent aforesaid, on Wednesday morning, whilst
I was in custody, and that the said Thomas Bailey Rose,
Esq., discharged a man from the custody of the said
Richard Stonier, who had been chained and confined by
the said Richard Stonier, in the cell of the police-office,
'from the previous Saturday, anti that the said
Richard Stonier had no evidence of any charge
to make against the said -man, notwithstanding he
had confined him four days and four nights. I
verily believe 1 should have • been longer kept
in custody, had not Mr. -Williams, attorney-at-law,
of Stoke-upon-Trent aforesaid,w horn myrriends emploved
iin Thursday morning, insisted upon the said Richard
Stonier immediately taking me, before a Magistrate.
During the period I was so coetiued I had no opportunity
of taking off my clothes to refresh myself ; a most offen-
eire stench arose from a vessel in the cell, as the vessel
was not emptied or renioved front the cell during the
time I was confined. in the small cell where I was con-
fined on Wednesday night there was no convenience of
any .kind. After I left the police-office on Thursday
enoteiingsl titintl. upon Inv person and clothes,
which 1 had picked up there. The boards or planks
which I was carrying front my boat as before-mentioned,
were returned to me on Tuesday, the sth of October in-

the 2.7 th of September, when .1 was first confined.

ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE
11l :POLAND.—RUSSIAN UKASE.
(From the Journal dc St. _PeterBbargh of Oct. 3.)
The Gazette the Senate, No. 79, published to-day,
contains the following ukase, addressed by. the Emperor
to the Directing Senate, under the date of Wareew,
September G (18), 1841 :
"Having, in 1839., thought proper to create in oar
Imperial Council e special department for the affairs of
the kingdom of Poland, to which were to be referred the
most important affairs of that kingdom, we consider the
ulterior existence of a- distinct Council of State in the
said kingdom as being no longer in harmony with the
existing situation of the country ; and as at the same
lime the establishment of a court of superior justice on
more solid basis is of urgent necessity, we have resolved
to suppress the Council of State at present existing in
the same kingdom, as well as the Court of Superior
Justice, and to replace them at Warsaw, for the whole
kingdom of Poland, by two. departmenee of the Direct-
ing Senate, which shall be named the Ninth and Tenth

to our sanction by the department of tke Council of the

MONEY MARKET and CITY NEWS
FROM THE MORNING PAPRS OF YESTERDAY.
TIMES.—The relief, if any, to the holders of spu-
rious Exchequer las is argued with intense interest in
the city. Although the fact, If once established, that
the signature to the spurious Exchequer bills was added
after the paper bad been taken from the office would
render the position of the holders much more doubtful
than if the forgery had taken place within the office,
and the bills had afterwards been regularly issued, still
there are many persons who conceive that und* any cir-
cumstances they ought not to be the sufferers, and they
support this view by an argument which is not without
cogency. There is at present no suspicion but that
the bille, if they left the office blank with respect to
the signature, were otherwise quite perfect, were
printed on the right paper, and were statuped with
the proper Government stamp. Now, it is on this
stamp that the holders, to whom we here particularly
refer, ground" their claim. The stamp, they say, is
what the public used to look to, that they might ascer-
tain the genuineness of the bill ; that was their sole
criterion ; the signature they neither knew, nor bad
they the means of knowing. Hence, as the stamp
alone gave currency to the document, and in no one
, instance has it been alleged that this stamp is forged,
it is argued that the Government are bound to make
good the losses of innocent parties occasioned by the
bad system of management which could allow paper so
stamped to be taken out of the office. The whole gist
of this argument turns upon the question, whether it
was usually the stamp or the signature that was relied
on by practical men of business in their Exchequer bill
transactions, and, if it really was the stamp, it seems a
great hardship that holders should suffer when that is
genuine.
A most unfair attempt has been made by persons,
who are willing at any cost to get rid of the Govern-
ment responsibility, to damage not only the claims, but
almost the characters, of the parties who some months
ago took their bills to the Treasury to have them tested.
This is done by an insinuation that the parties hoped
to find Mr. E. B. Smith at his office, having some
reason to believe that he was a man to whom the bills
might safely be sdbmitted ,• an insinuation which im-
plies that they had some knowledge of the operations
of Mr. Smith. This is an artful attempt to make the
very pains taken by the holders to secure themselves a
reason to refuse them indemnification, and place
them in the dilemma, that, if they did not take
due precautions, they may suffer for their own
imprudence, and if they did there is every reason
to suppose they had some secret knowledge.
Although some of the holders may have had an
improper knowledge of the transaction, still it is
well known that many of those who took their bills to
the Treasury are parties of the highest respectability,
against whom there has not been a breath of suspicion
during the whole of the excitement, and that their
peculiar cases have been those of the greatest
hardship. As for their going up purposely to see
Mr. E. B. Smith, as a convenient personage, the fact
is, that several of them did not know to which office
they were to take their bills, but went in the first
instance to the " Exchequer Bill-office," which was
not the right place to obtain the desired informa-
tion, and were afterwards shown to the office of
which Mr. E. B. Smith was a functionary. This is
quite enough to show that they had no idea of seeing
Mr. Smith in the first instance, if, indeed, they
were aware (as most likely they were not) of that gen-
tleman's existence. It will be hard enough if these
holders, after taking every precaution, should lose their
money, but it will be much harder if their precautions
are made grounds of insinuation again their fair dealing.
The suggestions made by a correspondent some time
ago for the removal of the Exchequer bill department
to the National Debt-office, accompanied a statement
that this office has the management of the savings
banks. To confute this statement, or rather to explain
more definitely the exact connection between the office
and the savings banks, a letter has been written by an
actuary of one of these institutions, in which he makes
the following assertions
" The savings-banks are under the exclusive direc-
tion of self-elected and irresponsible managers. All
that the National Debt-office has to do with them is to
receive from them whatever money they may have to
invest or place out at interest belonging to the depositors,
repay to them within a certain period after demand
any money for which the depositors may call, and carry
to the credit of each savings-bank, in May and Novem-
ber, the interest at the rate of 2:1421. per cent. per diem,
accruing upon the capital in hand. In addition, the
managers of savings-banks make a monthly return to
the National Debt-office of the amount received from
and repaid to depositors, and are bound by Act of Par-
liament to render annually to the same office, within six
weeks after the 20th of November, a statement showing
their liabilities and assets, and the gross amount of their
expenses. Further than this the National Debt-office
has no concern with the savings-banks. It cannot even
control their expenses, or interfere in the slightest de-
gree with the internal management of them.'

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF CHANCERY, Nov. 9,

Shortly after ten o'clock this morning it was inti-
mated to the gentlemen of the bar by Mr. Haines, one
of the Lord Chancellor's officers, that his Lordship would
not sit, in consequence of being summoned to the Palace,
her Majesty having been taken suddenly ill this morning
at seven o'clock.
