BAIL COURT, Nov, 11,

(Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice PATTESON.)
THE QUEEN V. THE MAYOR AND ASSESSORS OF THE DO
ROUGH OF ST. ALBAN'S.

Mr. WELLSBY moved for a rule quo warranto against
the Mayor of St. Alban's, and a person named Joseph
Russell, and called on them to show by what authority
the said Joseph Russell claimed to exercise the office:of
town councillor of St. Alban's. The Learned Council

ated that the motion was made upon two grounds.
The first was, that Mr. Russell, the party elected, had
not a majority of votes, and that the numbers had been
incorrectly taken at the poll ; and the second was,
that one of the assessors, who acted as deputy for Mr.
Harrison, was incompetent to act. The facts were simply
these :—The offices of four town councillors of the bo-
rough having become vacant, an election took place be-
fore the Mayor and assessors, one of whom (Mr.
Wingrave) acted for Mr. Jacob Harrison. On
the 2d of November, the day of the election, the
candidates were Messrs. Lowe, Kent, Russell, Kinder,
Shrubb, and Lewis. Two gentlemen acted as poll clerks
for some of the candidates, and took a correct list of all
the votes, and their numbers were, for Mr. Lowe 272,
for Shrub 247, for Kent 246, and for Mr. Gibson 243.
The votes were examined that evening in the Town-
hall, in presence of the mayor, assessors, and town-clerk
(Mr. Blagg), and the next day the numbers were de-
clared, for Lowe 277, Kent 254, Russell 248, and Shrubb
245. The deponent stated, that having great doubts as
to the correctness of this return, Mr. Williams, one of
the poll-clerks, went to the town-clerk to inspect the
voting papers. The town-clerk refused to allow the
voting papers to be seen together, or any extract or
comparisons to be made. Mr. Williams stated that the
number of them was 473, and they could only contain
four votes each, making a total of 1,892 votes, whereas
the mayor returned 1,904 votes as having been
polled, making the number 12 more than could pos-
sibly have been given. Mr. Wingrave, who acted as de-
puty assessor, in place of Mr. Jacob Harrison, could not
act legally, as the Act stated that no deputy should be
appointed for_ an assessor, unless in case of sickness,

By ELIOT WARBURTON, Esq.
As we read we are proud to claim the author as a countryman,
and are content that his book shall go all over the world, that other
countries, from it, may derive a just impression of our national
character. His volumes are full of just perception and spirited
detail. They greatly increase our acquaintance with Eastern scenes,
and to the traveller afford a variety of information which he could
hardly elsewhere find in so interesting a shape."—Britannia.

R. J. EATON, ESQ., M.P.—A paragraph, originat-
ing with the Times, has gone the round of the press,
stating that this gentleman had died at Malta. This
rumour was prevalent for some time, and was very gene-
rally believed, although at the same time it was consi-
dered rather remarkable that the family of the Hon.
Gentleman had received no information on the subject.
We can now state, on good authority, that by the latest
accounts Mr. Eaton is reported to have been very ill ;
and that his medical attendant has gone out to Malta
with the view of bringing him home if the state of his
health will permit.—Cambridge Advertiser.
HOT CRAB.--The " hot crab" which we had at the
parsonage where we dined to-day was exquisite. The
way it is done is to mix the whole of the inside and the
contents of the claws with a little rich gravy or cream ;
then add curry paste, not powder, and very fine crumbs
of bread, and put all into the shell of the crab, and then
salamandered.—Blackwood's Magazine.
WORKS FOR THE IRON TRADE.—Abut 1,700 tons

tons of iron rails, each rail to be 15 feet in length, and

SAMPLES OF AMERICAN ACCIDENTS.

On the 12th instant, a son of Mr. Blaisdell was run
over by a train on the Easton Railroad, at East Boston,
and killed instantly.
Another accident on the Erie Railroad occurred, when
an extra train from Middletown, as it approached
Spring Valley, ran into a country waggon containing two
men and a boy. One man, Mr. Edward Stuart, was
killed instantly. The other, Mr. Nehemiah Wright, is
nut expected to recover. The boy escaped. The men
resided in the neighbourhood. As usual, the railroad
account of the melancholy affair exonerates the com-
pany's servants from all blame.
A most terrible accident occurred on the Portage
Railroad on Monday last. The locomotive was thrown
from the track and upset against an embankment, when
a section boat which was attached to it was thrown for-
ward by its impetus, crushing the engine, and instantly-
killing Colonel Thomas D. M‘Gough, a gentleman con-
nected with the road, and so severely injuring another
man named James Bighlan, as to leave no hopes of his
recovery, besides less severely injuring some four or five
others. One young lady had her hip dislocated; another
lust two of her fingers, &c.—Hollidaysburgh Pa. Reg. 2d.
A very serious accident occurred upon the track of
the Norwich and Worcester Railroad on Saturday,
within the limits of the city of Norwich. Just as

the Lung Island train had left the depot fi;
Boston, it came in contact with a heavy freight
train coming into town. The concussion was tre-
mendous, and did serious injury to nearly the
whole train. One of the engineers says the damage
cannot be less than six thousand dollars. Happily,
however, no person was killed, and the only one seriously
injured was Mr. Fisher, the conductor. Mr. Stowell,
the sup,rintendent of the Norwich Company, j,imped
from the freight train, and saved his life, as did the
engineer.

ACCIDENT ON THE MEXICAN GULP RAILWAY.—
Yesterday, as the train was returning from Terre-aux-
&eat's, the front car, by the loosening of one of the
wh.iels, got off the track, and three of th following ones
rushing on, were immediately overturned. They con-
tained only a few coloured persons, of whom five cr six
were grievously bruised and hurt. A negress had her
legs shockingly crushed, and lies in great danger. No
white person, we are informed, received any injury.—

GENERAL THEATRICAL FUND ASSOCIATION......

being so small on the occasion, he very generously made
up the sum of ten pounds, which he has handed to the
sectetary, Mr. Cullenford.

&EWES ACCIDENT TO A CONVICT IN THE ROYAL
.ARSENAL.—Yesterday as a gang of convicts were em-
ployed in removing a honvy piece of timber from a barge
on to the quay at the Royal Arsenal, one of them,
named James Venella, was caught by the chain, and
thrown from the wharf into the barge with such violence
as to cause the fracture of several of his ribs. He was
immediataly removed to the convict hospital-ship Unite,
but his recovery is considered doubtful.
A GIGANTIC TASK.—Professor Owen has, it is
said, examined the remains of at least four thousand
elephants. This is no less than an elephant a day flog
the last fifteen or sixteen years. We suspect there is a
little exaggeration in the statement. Even the,
most
active of Custom-house officercould not have
to get through an
examination of their "eontrived

As we cannot show in detail the expenses of each Eng-
lish line, we shall refer to a very sufficient proof of what
is the real profit on an English fare and on a Belgian
fare. That is to take the whole traffic on the English
railways and the whole traffic on the Belgian railways
and compare the whole profit.

It appears from these figures that whereas the number
of passengers in England is tenfold, and the receipts fif
teenfold, the total profits are only thirteenfold ; so that
the difference between the English and Belgian charges
is not caused by the profits, but chiefly by the extra ex-
pense caused by the higher rate of speed, and the heavy
rates and taxes.

_ .
As the income-tax is chargeable on the net profit and
returns to the Government, this must be deducted from
the English profit.
The comparison of a Belgian fare per mile, and an
English fare will, therefore, stand thus:—
Belgian fare. English fare.

CHRISTOPHER TADPOLE. _ Part 111.

The adventures of " Christopher Tadpole" are con
tinned in this number with unflagging spirit. The
benevolent individual into whose hands Christopher
had fallen on his escape from the salt mine, turns out
to be an itinerant professor of conjuring and tum-
bling, and Christopher is regularly received as a
member of his corps, and instructed in the art and
mystery of tumbling. The description of the country
fair is admirable. In the meantime the adventures of
the London portion of the dramatis persona are not
neglected, and we have the conclusion of the party at
Sir Frederick Arden's, in which Mrs. Gudge's vul-
garity comes out in grand style. The return home
and the adventure of the ginger beer cart are capital
bits of fun. All who enjoy a hearty laugh should read
the history of the return of Sir Frederick Arden's
guests.

SIMMONDS' COLONIAL.
The opening article of this number on the Fish-
eries of New Brunswick, should be read by all our
statesmen as a warning. We see in this how many
of our most valuable privileges have been frittered
away by the want of skill, and knowledge, And
spirit: on the part of our diplomatists; how they
have been bamboozled into giving to France and the
United States nurseries for their navies, by per-
mitting them to fish on the coasts of our trans-
Atlantic possessions, (we wonder they have never
asked to have the privilege of digging coal in North-
umberland? Some of our Laissez faire statesmen,
would, for the sake of preserving peace, on the entente
cordiale, have suffered them to do it) ; and how
they have, by gradual encroachments, turned this
permission into an exclusive right, and have actually
prevented British subjects from fishing on their own
shores. A small squadron of gun-brigs and cutters
could not be better employed than in defending our
colonial fishermen against.encroachments. There are
several other excellent articles in this number' of
Simmonds.

FROM THE ARMY OF THE LEFT.

We learn from the Delta, of New Orleans, of the 14th
instant, that there is a.rumour of another attack on the
American army by the Mexicans. The Mexicans have
been againalefeated. The western mail contains no news

Dr. Craigbrings dispatches from SantaFe to St. Louis,
for Government. He. Itft Mazatlan.on the Ist of June,
Chihuahua on the.,lsth of July, and Santa F 6 on the 6th
of Sept. Genefal Kearney, with 1,000 men, left Santa
Fe on the 3d for the settlements below on the Rio
Grande, intending to erect a fortification at Socorro,
also to visit Albuquerque, 75 miles below Santa Fe, the
residence of ex-Governor Armijo, whose " whereabouts"
is unknown. General Kearney was to be absent about
20 days. The murder of Armijo is contradicted.
About 300 men, with their horses and cattle, were
ordered to the Cale'tello creek, 15 or 20 miles below
Santa Fe. General Kearney was erecting a fort on an
emir.ence to the north-east of Santa Fe, to command
the whole. The Mexicans are becoming much attached
to him, as he promised them protection from the Indians.
They are quite pleased with our government of them.
Ott the terrivar of Colonel Price's regiment and the bat-
talion of Mormons, General Kearney would set out for
Citlifornia. 'Monterey is to be the place of destination, a
stance of 1,200 miles. The Arkansas river lbr the

SAMPLES OF AMERICAN ACCIDENTS,

On the 12th instant, a son of Mr. Blaisdell was run
over by a train on the Easton Railroad, at East Boston,
and killed instantly.
Another accident on the Erie Railroad occurred, when
an extra train from Middletown, as it approached
Spring Valley, ran into a country waggon containing two
men and a boy. One man, Mr. Edward Stuart, was
killed instantly. The other, Mr. Nehemiah Wright, is
not expected to recover. The boy escaped. The men
resided in the neighbourhood. As usual, the railroad
account of the melancholy affair exonerates the com-
pany's servants from all blame.
A most terrible accident occurred on the Portage
Railroad on Monday last. The locomotive was thrown
from the track and upset against an embankment, when
a section boat which was attached to it was thrown for-
ward by its impetus, crushing the engine, and instantly
killing Colonel Thomas D. M'Gough, a gentleman con-
nected with the road, and so severely injuring another
man named James Bighlan, as to leave no hopes of his
recovery, besides less severely injuring some four or five
others. One young lady had her hip dislocated; another
lost two of her fingers, &c.—Hollidagsburgh Pa. Reg. 2d.
A very serious accident occurred upon the track of
the Norwich and Worcester Railroad on Saturday,
within the limits of the city of Norwich. Just as
the Long Island train had left the depot for
Boston, it came in contact with a heavy freight
train coming into town. The concussion was tre-
mendous, and did serious injury to nearly the
whole train. One of the engineers says the damage
cannot be less than six thousand dollars. Happily,
however, no person was killed, and the only one seriously
injured was Mr. Fisher, the conductor. Mr. Stowell,
the superintendent of the Norwich Company, jumped
from
.the freight train, and saved his life, as did the
engineer.
ACCIDENT ON TUE MEXICAN GULP RAILWAY.
Yesterday, as the train was returning from Terre-aux-
Bands, the front car, by the loosening of one of the
wheels, got off the track, and three of the following ones
rushing on, were immediately overturned. They con-
tainwhetdpoenlrygo: few coloured persons, of whom five or six
were grievously bruised and A negress had her

BONDS V. SLYMAN.

This appeal from the equity side of the Court of
Exchequer, during the time of Lord Abinger, occupied
the Court the remainder of the morning.

ROLLS' COURT, Nov. 11.
PERRY V. MEADOWCROFT.
This was a case which came before his Lordship on
an exception to the Master's report. The Master had
found by his report there was no male lineal descendant
of a William Meadowcroft, who had been left a property
by Mr. Meadowcroft, a solicitor, of Gray's-inn, who
died on the 7th of July, 1821. The testator left his
property uneer a condition that it should accumulate for
twenty-one years. It was alleged that the decree was
obtained by collusion and fraud, and that the excep-
taut was the male lineal descendant of William
Meadowcroft the younger.
Mr. WALPOLE, who appeared for the plaintiff, stated
the case, from which it appeared that William Meadow-
croft the younger, in 1813, came to London, and
entered the office of his uncle, the testator, as clerk. lie
then took lodgings in the house of a Miss Lewis, where
he became acquainted with another lodger, a Airs.
Gregory, the widow of a lieutenant in the navy. An
attachment grew up between the parties. The
uncle having expressed himself extremely op.
posed to his nephew forming an alliance with
Mrs. Gregory, it was agreed that a marriage
should take place without the knowledge of tin'
uncle. The banns were published shortly after, but the
following mistake occurred. It appeared that the fe-
male, Gre z-ory, who acted for Mr. Aleadowcroft, he
being a minor, gave in the names, when the word
Widowcrof t" was entered in mistake for " Meado.ek -
croft," which was one of the grounds upon which a
decree had been obtained in the Consistory Court.
The Learned Counsel was proceeding with his state-
ment when the Court rose.
His LORDSHIP, however, ordered the case to be in-
serted on the list for to-morrow.

It is, therefore, assumed that the wide difference be-
tween the fares arises from the extravagant profits and
dividends of the English companies, and for their fond-
ness for keeping up high fares.
We propose to examine into this more closely than we
did last week, and we believe we shall be able to prove
to the satisfaction of every one, that a worse founded
argument was never put forward. If we fail, it will be
for want of clearness only, not from want of truth in our
arguments. •
We would, in the first instance, observe, that the ave-
rage assumed is not of the least value, as it is a false
average of the various fares on the English lines,
while the uniform rate of the Belgian state lines is set
against it.
The average of the first and second class English is
made up of the express and ordinary fares, which have
no correlation. The Great Western charge 3d. a mile
first class for trains which go fifty miles an hour, which
does not admit of comparison with the Belgian fares and
Belgian speed.

BANKERS' MAGAZINE.

In addition to the usual professional contents of
the Bankers' Magazine, we have in the present num-
ber a well written memoir of the life and labours of
Mr. Thomas Joplin, the father of the system of
Joint-stock Banking in England. To this memoir is
prefixed the following Note by the Editor :--
" Mr. Thomas Joplin is no doubt well known to many
of our readers as one of the early advocates and origin-
ators of the existing system of Joint-stock Banking in
England and Ireland. We think that the following me-
moir of his services, which has been drawn up by a
friend acquainted with the extent of his usefulness, will
therefore be interesting ; and we may add, that we trust
it will be of some service to Mr. Joplin himself, whose
pecuniary resources have not increased in the same pro-
portion as those of the institutions which he assisted in
establishing.
" Without entering into any discussion of the claims
of Mr. Joplin on the successful Joint-stock Banks, we
may be allowed to express a hope that, after having ex-
erted himself energetically and actively in their behalf,
at a time when his exertions were undoubtedly useful,
he will not, now that he requires some assistance at
their hands, make an appeal to their liberality in vain.
We should much regret to find that such an appeal now,
when he is in the decline of years,
_ and afflicted with bad
health, was listened to with apathy. We hope that the
reproach which attaches itself to the leading men of the
Railway Interest, for neglecting one of the earliest ad-
vocates of their own system, Mr. Thomas Gray, will
never be applicable to the Joint-stock Banking Interest;
and that Mr. Joplin will receive a satisfactory proof
that it can and will repay with liberality any public ex-
ertions which have been made on its behalf.

NOMINATION OF SHERIFFS.

At a quarter past one o'clock the Barons left the
Court, and shortly after the Right Hon. Charles Wood,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, entered in his robes,
when the usual oaths of allegiance were administered,
(this being the first term of his year of office) to him by
the Clerk of the Court.

The Right Honourable Gentleman then called upon
Mr. Crampton, the " tub man," if he had any motion
to make, that Learned Gentleman having made a motion,
the Right Hon. Gentleman, and the Barons of the Ex-
chequer, withdrew. „-
Their Lordships entered shortly after, for the purpose
of nominating the Sheriffs for the different counties of
England and Wales. There were present on the bench,
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Lord Chancellor, the
Marquis of Lansdowne, Lord Denman, Lord Campbell,
Lord Chief Justice Wilde, Sir George Grey, Mr Justice
Maule, Baron Rolfe, Mr. Justice Wightman, Mr. Justice

TO THE PEOPLE OF ENGLAND.

This is a question of vital importance to you. Tea is
one of the most valuable elements in your daily meals
a great comfort to all, and to very many of yea an ab
solute necessary of life. It would be one of the greatest
blessings to your families could you provide them with
this prime want more ft equently, more abundantly, and
of better quality. This you are prevented from doing
by the enormous duty which is now levied on Tea ; no
less than 2s. 2kd. on every pound. The original cost of
Tea is only from Bd. to 2s. per pound, and this exorbi-
tant impost, therefore, is equivalent to a tax of 200 per
cent. on the average qualities, and no less than from 300
to 400 per cent. on the lower kinds. Coffee an-• Sugar
are admitted at a duty of from 20 to 30 per cent., and
,t is high tune that your wants in respect to Tea should
be provided for by a great reduction of the duty on this
commodity.
TO THE WOMEN OF ENGLAND.
The reduction of the Tea duty is a question interest-
ing to you, because it affi cts the comforts and attractions
of your homes and your firesides.
To show the evil at present in existence, you must
take a pound of Tea, and put one-third into one paper,
two-thirds into another ; the money paid in China, with
expenses added for bringing the Tea home, has procured
the whole pound for you; but you can only get one-
third; the other two-thirds must go to pay duty, or you
must pay three times the value to obtain the whole
pound.
Is this true? Yes. The merchant sells at Is. per
pound that Tea on which 2s. 24d. is charged for duty;
and even at 9d. good sound Tea is sold by the merchant,
upon which the same duty is levied.
Thus a poor man's family paying 3d. for Tea only
procures Id. worth; and instead of the 2d. going to pay
for eatables, clothes, or instruction, it is paid away as a
tax for permission to drink ld. worth of Tea.
