CALEDONIAN RAILWAY.

THE MAILS.—The opening of this great railway line,
as all our mercantile men are well aware, has vastly in-
creased the facilities for our communication with
England. But they complain, and with good
reason, that advantage has not been taken of this
railway, to afford those early postal communications
which the public has a right to expect. For instance, the
Caledonian Company runs two trains daily from Glas-
gow and Edinburgh to London. which perform the
journey in twelve hours and a few minutes; and
there are corresponding trains from the metropolis
which go over the ground with equal rapidity.
Yet, with a perversity for whicq we c innot
well account, the Post-office, instead of employing the
twelve hours' train, makes use of one which takes
seventeen hours to perform the journey between Glasgow
and London. It may be given as a reason that the
latter waits at a greater number of stations than the
former, and thus affords facilities for receiving mail bags
from the country towns along the line of rout';
but the Post Office authorities know full well that the
bags can be received and carried by the express train
as well at by the slow one. On many of the English
lines, the Post-office van is provided with a net, which, on
passing a station, is extended upon ;an iron rod; the rod
touches a pole to which is attached the mail bag, and even
when the train is at full speed the:bag is deposited in the
net, and drawn into :the van with the greatest ease and
regularity. Would it be asking too much of the Post-
master General to extend these advantages to Scotland?
Private enterprise beats the Post-office entirely. We
receive the London morning papers by express parcel,
about ten o'clock o❑ the evening of the day on
which they are published ; but the mail does not
bring in these papers till half-past one ; and did
we depend on the courtesy, attention, and speed
of the post, these journals would not be placed
in our hands before eight o'clock on the following
morning, which is just ten hours later than we supply
ourselves by a private opportunity. Of course we
have to pay for these parcels, but we cannot regard
these payments other than as taxes imposed upon us
by Post-office laziness. While on this subject, we bear
our willing testimony to the regularity and admirable
management of this line. Standing on the platform
at St. Rollox the other evening, the manager said,
"In two minutes you will see the express train
aprroaching." The gentleman was as good as his
word, for before sixty seconds expired the London train
have in sight, after performing a journey of 400 miles.
We are also glad to say, that from Mr. Stewart, the
active manager, downwards, the attention and courtesy
of the officers of the company is ell that could be desired.
The temporary station of itself is abominable, but one
is reconciled to the place by the kindly demeanour of
those about it.—Glasgow Herald.

REMARKABLE FIDELITY OF A DOG —The following
fact, evincing a most extraordinary instance of the at-
tachment and fidelity of a dog, was related by a gentle-
man on whose veracity we could rely, and who had wit-
nessed it. In the parish of Saint Olive, Tooley-street,
Borough, the churchyard is detached from the church,
and surrounded, by high buildings, so as to be wholly
inaccessible but by one large close gate. A poor tailor
of this parish dying, left a small cur dog, evidently in-
consolable for his loss, for he watild not leave his dead
master, not even for food, and whatever thereforel
he ate, was forced to be placed in the same rooms
with the corpse. When the body was removed for;
burial, this faithful attendant followed the coffin, and;
after the funeral, was hunted out of the churchyard byj
the sexton. The next day, however, he was again found
there, having made his way by some unaccountable
means into the enclosure, where he had dug himself a
bed on the grave of his master. Once more he was
driven out, and again ho was found in the same
situation the following day. The minister of
the parish, hearing of the circumstance, had him caught,
taken home and fed ; and he further endeavoured by
' every means to win the animal's affections ; but
they were wedded to his late master, and he took
the first opportunity to escape and regain his lonely
situation. With true benevolence, the clergyman
allowed him to follow the bent of his inclinations ;
but, to soften the rigour of his fate, he built him upon
the grave a small kennel, which was replenished once
a day with food and water. Two years did this ex-
ample of fidelity pass in this manner, when death put an
end to his griefs, and the extended philanthropy of the
kind clergyman allowed his remains an asylum with his
beloved master.
OUR OWN NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.—PORTSMOUTD.
The fine steamer, perfection arrived this morning from
Plymouth, having only broken down thirteen times
on the way. The Perfection was built at Deptford for
a sailing frigate. Not floating, however, according
to her lines, her stern was sawn off, and 72 feed
addee to her length. A short time afterwards,
at Woolwich, she underwent other improvements.
One of her sides was cut away, from stem to stern, and
her breadth increased by eight feet. She went a cruise
as fer as sheerness, but was nut found to answer;
and being re-docked at Chatham, the posit,M,u of
her mast was altered, and she was supplied with
iron standing rigging. The perfection then pro-
ceeded to sea, but it was soon found that, owing to
some unforeseen imperfection, she would only sail
stern first, and she was accordingly towed into Ply-
mouth, where the master-superintendent proposed that
she should be fitted out with a screw-propeller. The
change being sanctioned by the Admiralty, engines
were constructed and put on board. On the first trial
the piston would not work, on the second the screw
broke, and on the third the boiler burst. The Per-
fection was then employed some time as a guard-
ship, which service she performed very efficiently.
Orders at length arrived from the Admiralty that she
should be fitted out as a raze. She accordingly made
ready for sea; but it was found that, with her guns
on board, the main deck would be eighteen inches
below the water-line. She was, therefore, re-decked
and overhauled, and ultimately her bow was cut
away, six feet added to her length, engines of a dif-
ferent construction taken on board, and paddle-wheels
constructed. She was then ordered round to Ports-
mouth, where, we have stated, she arrived this morning.
Two o'clock p.m.—While I am sealing my dispatch, I
am informed that the Perfection has sunk at her anchor,
in consequence, it is said, of a hole in her bottom, which
' the dockyard people forgot to stop up.—The Man in tire
Moon.

GREAT FEAT OF LEAPING 1,000 HURDLES IN
THREE HoHRS AND THIRTY MINUTES.—The above
extraordinary feat, undertaken by Robert Coates, of
London, came off at the Red Lion Knowle, near Bristol, on
Monday. Though the weather was unfavourable, a large
number of the admirers of British manly sports, with a
tolerable sprinkling of Corinthians from the ancient city
attended. When Coates appeared it was evident that,
though possessed of vast muscular powers, the task he
had undertaken could only be accomplished by the un-
shrinking game that has carried him triumphantly
through his various feats for the last 23 years. He
started at five minutes to five, and jumped the first 300
in 50 minutes. lie then rested, often during the time
rinsing his mouth with. water. The fourth hundred was
done in 161 minutes; the fifth hundred in 20 minutes,
the sixth hundred in 24i minutes, and the seventh hun-
dred in 22 minutes. At the 752 d leap he was again
obliged to rest, showing evident marks of distress ;
but having taken a cup of strong " tea," he again
started, saying he felt confident of winning. The sixth
hundred was done in 37 minutes. During the ninth
hundred, which was finished within the third hour, he
showed such evident weakness that many thought he
could not finish his task within the time, but having
again refreshed himself with strong tea, and changed his
shirt, he arose as a " giant refreshed," saying that he was
determined to win, and win he did; for, after one of the
most surprising efforts, he accomplished this, the great-
est of modern feats, in three hours, 19 minutes, and 20
seconds. -
THE WEATHER IN SCOTLAND.—Friday last was
an exceedingly stormy day over a wide district of
country, but we experienced little of it in Glasgow.
In the upper ward of the county, however,
the wind was high, and the rain was so heavy that
it may almost be said to have fallen in sheets. Nu-
merous tiny cataracts spouted from the hills, and the
floooded state of the streams and rivers alone the
line of the Caledonian Railway southward of Carlisle,
showed that the rains had been alike heavy and
general. Since then we have enjoyed delightful
weather—a clear syk, genial temperature, with only
now and then a passing shower. The appearance of
the country is beautiful; the wheat strong in
head and stalk, and rapidly assuming the autumnal
tinge ; and as to the oats, if they have any fault, it is
that of over-luxuriance. Potatoes aro healthy and for-
ward, and in many cases the furrows have been earthed up.
A vast breadth of turnip has been sown this season ; the
per Scotch
early kinds have suffered a good deal from the fly ; but,
with favourable weather the plant will recover itself.
The thinning process has commenced. An experienced
agriculturist states that " the best remedy for the fly is
thick sowing; and when 5 or 61bs.
acre have been given, sufficient
main." Rye- grass will be a capital crop; fully one-
third of it has been cut in this district, but little has

During the past week thunder storms visited parts of
the country; but in this district we were exempt from
them.—Glasgow Herald.
SEA FIGHT IN A FOG.—One day last week, when
the salmon fishers at Berriedalo were engaged at
their occupation, they were surprised at hearing an in-
cessant report of cannonading at sea. As there was a
heavy mist at the time, they were at a loss to know the
cause of the occurrence; but they were not long left
to conjecture, as a partial clearing of the atmosphere dis-
closed to their astonished gaze two vessels peppering
into each other at a furious rate. The vessels were evi-
dently foreign, and are not unlikely to be the same two
as are said to have been engaged with each other off the
Bell Rock. The fog soon returned, and the firing in a
short time ceased.— Johns Groats Journal.
EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY.—We un-
derstand that the branch line to Campsie was not
opened yesterday, as anticipated, in consequence of the
official authority not having arrived from the Railway
Commissioners. As that, however, is expected by to-
day's post, the branch will, no doubt, be opened for pas-
senger traffic to-morrow, if the official letter is received
in time.—North British Mail (Tuesday).

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
SECONDARIES' COURT, July 5.
(Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.)
POYNDER AND ANOTHER V. GREGOR.

C. NT AL CRIMINAL COURT.
THE TRIAL OF FUSSELL.
(Continued from our Four Edition of lait night.)
At the concluiion of the Attorney-General's reply, '
The CHIEF JUSTICE then summed up, and explained
at considerable length the state of the law with regard
to illegal assemblies and sedition. lie said it was cer-
tainly a most important privilege possessed by the people
of this country to meet and discuss political grievances;
but, at the same time, it was equally important for the
protection of them all, that this right should not be
abused, and that public meetings should not be made
use of by designing persons to inflame the minds of the
lower orders of people, who perhaps might be at the
moment, from particular causes, in a state of distress,
and peculiarly liable to be acted upon by exciting ad-
dresses, and thereby induced to commit acts of vio-
lence, and endanger the public peace. This was the
question at issue in the present instance, and the jury
were the proper arbiters of it. After some further
observations upon the same subject, the Learned Judge
said that the doctrine advanced by the Learned Ser-
geant in his speech for the iefendant, that if the
Crown did not perform the duty which the people
thought they were entitled to receive at the hands
of the Crown, they had a right to discuss the pro-
priety of expelling the Sovereign, was an entirely
new doctrine to him. The Learned Sergeant had
grounded his assertion on the circumstances of the
Revolution of 1688, but he forgot that the great lawyers
and the great statesmen of that day denied the doctrine
of the existence of any power to remove the Sovereign,
and the constitution sanctioned the principle that the
Crown could do no wrong. The Crown only acted by
its advisers, and if wrong was done, the instruments were
alone amenable, and not the Crown itself. Where
would it end if the people had the power of discussing
whether the Crown had done wrong? Who was to de-
cide the question ? Was it to be discussed by such
persons as appeared to have assembled on 'the present
occasion and under such circumstances ? Could such a
subject be safely left in their hands ? It was impossible
they could do so, and if such proceedings were per-
mitted, they would only produce anarchy, confusion,
and tyranny.
The Jury retired, and after deliberating about a
quarter-of-an-hour, they found the defendant guilty
upon those counts of the indictment charging him with
sedition and attending an unlawful assembly, and
acquitted him of the count charging a riot.
The defendant was immediately ordered into the
custody of the Governor of Newgate. Judgment was
postponed.

This was an action to recover the sum of 2001. on a
guarantee.
The defendant suffered judgment to go by default.
Mr. DOLMAN, the plaintiff's attorney, said the
guarantee was given by defendant for payment for some
bricks supplied to a third party. He would prove the
delivery of the goods, which would entitle him to a
verdict.
The Learned SECONDARY held that as the guarantee
was set forth in the declaration, and defendant had by
not pleading admitted the breach charged against him,
that therefore there was no necessity to prove the de-
livery.
Mr. DOLMAN said he had entertained doubts, and
thought it better to bring witnesses, but he would rather
act under the Learned Secondary's opinion.
The Learned SECONDARY said he always held that
evidence was not necessary in such cases, and had not
found himself wrong.
A verdict was then entered for the amount.
INGLE AND FOSTER.—BLUNDER ON BLUNDER.
This was an action to recover the sum of 331. 13s. 3d.
for goods sold. Defendant pleaded that he was not in-
debted, but he was not represented by counsel or at-
torney.
A person appeared, and said that he was present to
watch the proceedings and take objections in the absence
of the attorney.
The Learned SECONDARY said he could not listen to
him, as he was not a professional man ; but no doubt
the plaintiff would consent to an adjournment, on pay-
ment of the costs of the day.
This, however, the party was not authorised to
agree to.
Mr. Citoucil stated the case, and called Edward Walker,

-----
When the rejected advocate steppd into the box, and
said that he had been subpcenaed, and had been spoken
to by the other side ; but there was some mistake, he
was not the party.
Mr. CROUCH said that was quite clear ; there was an-
other Edward Walker.
A person was pointed out as being the real " Simon
Pure," but be said his name was Ingle, and he could not
give his evidence till after Walker.
The plaintiff's party appeared not to know " Walker,"
and after inquiring of each person in Court, at length
found they had subpoenaed the wrong party.
The case was then adjourned.

INCREASE OF Tun METROPOLITAN POLICE.—On
Tuesday a meeting of delegates from the parishes of Mid-
dlesex comprised in the Metropolitan Police district was
held in the Court-house, Marylebone, to consider the
increased demand of the Government for the police and
their contemplated augmentation. Lord Portman pre-
sided, supported by Sir B. Hall, M.P., Lord Dudley__
Stuart, M.P., kc. Sir B. Hall opened the proceedings,
and observed that the meeting ought to impress upon the
Government that any outbreak in the metropolis ought
to be viewed as a national affair, and that any addition
required for police should be paid out of the consolidated
fund. He was sure the county of Middlesex would be
happy to contribute its fair proportion. Mr. Stamford
then moved, " That a deputation of the county of Mid-
dlesex do wait upon the Secretary of State for the
Home Department to direct his attention to the letter of
the 30th of December last from the Under-Secretary of
State, and of the Police Commissioners, dated January
3 and June 26, 1848." Mr. Bell seconded the motion,
which after some observations from several gentlemen
present was put and carried unanimously. Lord Dudley
Stuart said, the Secretary of State was the best judge
of the necessity of an increase in the police force ; and
at the same time he thought the burden of its support
should be more equally and justly distributed. A depu-
tation was then appointed to wait on the Secretary of
State, and a vote of thanks having been passed to the
chairman, the meeting broke up.
METROPOLITAN BUILDINGS FOR THE WORKING
CLASSES, ST. Pafecnes-ROAD.—On Tuesday afternoon, at
five o'clock, these buildings were visited by his Royal
Highness Prince Albert, who was attended by Colonel
Bouverie, and accompanied by Viscount Ebrington,
Lord Radnor, Earl Fortescue, Lord Radstock, Dr. South-
wood Smith, Frederick D. Goldsmid, Esq., Joseph
Toynbee, Esq., John William Tottie, Esq., deputy
chairman of the association, Charles Gatliff, Esq., hon.
secretary, and other noblemen and gentlemen. His
Royal Highness went over several of the rooms, and
was minute in his inquiries as to the accommodation and
healthfulness of the dwellings, and expressed himself
much gratified with the information he received. His
Royal Highness's visit drew together a large concourse
of her Majesty's lieges, by whom his Royal Highness
was heartily cheered on mounting his horse to depart.
EXCISE INFORMATION AT BITTON, NEAR BRISTOL.
—The magistrates of this division of the county of
Gloucester held a special petty sessions on Tuesduy all
the purpose of hearing a case of great importance to all
persons engaged in manufacturing and ,trading in paper.
The case, which was that of Regina v. Richard
M`Donsld, was an excise information laid by order of
the commissioners for the recovery of penalties amounting
to upwards of 2,000/. against Mr. Nl'Donald, the entered
proprietor of the Bitten paper mills. The information
was laid under the 24th, 25th, and 28th sections of the
2d and 3d Victoria, cap. 23, and charged the defendant
with baying on the 6th of April, delivered and sent cer-
tain parcels of paper, of the weight of 6,235 lbs. without
having entered the same in a book supplied under the
provisions of the Act of Parliament by the Excise
authorities,' whereby he had incurred the penalties of
000/. and 300/. ; and it further charged him with having
used sixty-two wrappers which had been previously
affixed to other papers, whereby he had incurred
penalties amounting to 1,2461. The defendant pleaded
not guilty. The evidence, which was very voluminous,
was chiefly of a circumstantial nature ; and, the case
for the prosecution being concluded, the further
hearing was adjourned till Monday next. These
paper-mills, it will be recollected, were burnt down a few
days since.
CHARING•CROSS HOSPITAL.—On Tuesday a quar-
terly general court of the governors was held in the
board-room of the institution; Major Lyon in the chair.
The report stated that, during the past quarter, there
had been admitted. 293 in-patients, and 3,365 out-
patients; the accident cases were 519, of which 100 were
received as in-patients. During the last year 12,092 in-
digent sick were admitted on the books fur relief, at a
cost of 1,2921. 4s. lid.; of these 1,155 were in-patients,
and 10,937 were out-patients, of which number no fewer
than 10,509 were freely admitted without any recom-
mendation—the total number of persons admitted since
the foundation of the charity being 133,758. The pre-
sent resources of the hospital are much too limited for the
full exercise of its useful operations, and stand greatly
in need of augmentation. Thanks were voted to the
gallant chairman, and the court broke up.
CRICKET.—THE GENTLEMEN OF KENT V. THE
GENTLEMEN OF ENGLAND.—The resumption of this
grand match took place soon after eleven o'clock on
Tuesday morning, at Lord's, in the presence of an in-
creased congregation of spectators as compared with the
number present on the preceding day. On the part of
Kent, the " long hands" were made by Mr. Felix, Mr.
Fredericks, and the Hon. E. Bligh, in the first innings,
and by Mr. A. Mynn, Mr. Fredericks, and Mr. W.
Banks, in the second. Those on behalf of England, the
Hon. R. Grimaton, Mr. W. Nicholson. Mr. J. M. Lee,
Mr. J. Walker, Mr. Haygarth, and Mr. Fellowes were
the most conspicuous in the first; whilst in the second
Mr. J. M. Lee, Mr. W. Nicholson, and Mr. J. Walker
again stood forth pre-eminent. The final score stood
thus:—Kent, first innings, 121; second ditto, 125.
England, first innings, 177; second ditto, 70. England
therefore won by five wickets.
SINGULAR CASE OF POISONING,-011 Friday even-
ing last, Mr. Harris, the proprietor of the Equestrian
Tavern, near the Surrey Theatre, having nearly 200
letters to post, adopted the usual mode of moistening the
postage stamps with his tongue, and before he had
finished, he felt an extraordinary sensation and swelling
of the tongue. In a short time it had swollen to so
alarming a size, that Mr. Harris found it necessary to
send for a surgeon, and that gentleman, on attending, at
once pronounced his case one of poisoning, and stated
that some poisonous ingredient was used in the glutinous
matter applied to postage stamps. The usual remedies
* were adopted with success.
