MR. MARRYAT'S WORK ON BORNEO,

Just published, in imperial Svo., illustrated with numerous Litho-
graphic Plates anti Engravings on Wood, 31s. 61. cloth,
BORNEO and the EAST INDIAN ARCHI-
PELAGO. By FRANK S. MIERTAT, late Midshipman

Costume and Scenery, ,from Original Sketches snado on the spot
by Mr. Marryat.
" This interesting narrative of the proceedings of her Majesty's
ship Semarang, during her late surveying cruise, is by far the best of
the numerous works that have lately appeared, devoted to the
description of the countries and seas connected with the a•tventurous
and successful career of Mr. Brooks, the English Baja of Sarawak.
Here is no mere itinerary or dry detail of personal matter in which
the reader takes no interest, but a valuable addition to science and
general information. United Service Gazette.
" A superb production, protuecly illustrated with clever drawings.
The plates are remarkably graphic, and we have no doubt are as
faithful as they arc skilful and pleasing."—Britannia.

" The balance-sheet of this company to the Ist inst.,
exhibiting the state of accounts to that date duly audited,
is now submitted to the proprietors.
'• The directors subjoin the report of the company's
engineer, by which it will be seen that the works have
been progressing satisfactorily, and with as much expe-
dition as the means at the disposal of the directors would
admit of. The circumstances of the times, however,
have operated to delay in many cases the payment of the
calls, which is to be regretted, as incesetaily retarding,

TO THZ LADI6B.

This :ady had the following letterinserted in the " Times" news-
paper on Aug. 7, 1546. Reader, remembe.., this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor•
Lundy of publicly thanking Mr. W. Gemstone, of the Rerbary, High-
gate for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hai r on her head, after using it about four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and more luxuriant than
lever was before the baldness appeared.
"Mrs. Weeltley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Rog,enator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an 1 Is. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
tr.e, but as a cure at nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
ady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, afa w
drops on the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mace it strong, and
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may use this dellyhtful product of the
cost aro:natic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
t) the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
on the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of as
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on ehildreits heads in a VOW appplications. It used on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See

CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY.
A full average quantity of English Wheat has been
received up to our market this week, coastwise, viz.,
4,810 quarters. Today the stands were fairly supplied
with samples of both Red and White, the finest of which
moved off steadily, at full prices; but all other kinds
were much neglected. The demand for Foreign Wheat
was wholly in retail, and, to have effected large sales of
the middling and inferior kinds, lower rates must have
been submitted to. Barley was a very dull sale, at barely
stationary prices. There was very little inquiry for
Malt, and prices had, in some instances, a downward
tendency. Oats were steady, but not dearer. Beans,
Peas, and Indian Corn were somewhat easier to pur-
chase. Flour tolerably firm.

MOON V. DUNN.

This was an action to recover the amount of a wager,
to which the defendant had pleaded that under the Act
of Parliament passed, in 1845, on the subject of gaming
be was not liable. To this plea the plaintiff demurred.
The COURT gave judgment for the defendant.

SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
JONES V. GIITHRAE.

This was an action against the defendant, as the
acceptor of a bill of exchange, and ho pleaded that it had
not been duly indorsed to the plaintiff. The hand-
writing of the indorser was proved, and the Learned
Secondary held that that was sufficient to meet the plea,
although the witness was not present at the indorse-
ment, and would not state whether it was before or after
the bill became due, or for any and what consideration.
The jury gave a verdict for the amount.
This was the only case tried.

Mr. Channon Taylor, of Lyme Regis, proved that on
the day of the election, Mr. Abdy, the sitting Member,
accompanied by Mr. Waring, a solicitor, called upon him
to solicit his vote, telling him, at the same time, that if
he had any pecuniary difficulties, they were prepared to
remove thtm. He was, however, in doubt as to whom
he should vote for, but ultimately he made up his mind
to vote for Sir Fitzroy Kelly, but he had since meet..
tained that he would have been much better off had he
voted for Mr. Abdy.
Mr. Robert, Mayor of Lyme Regis, proved that Mr.
Waring, the gentleman alluded to by the previous wit•
ness, payed Mr. Abdy's share of the legal election
expenses.

KIN SALE.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
Bridget Heeley stated that she was a servant, in the
service of Mr. Murphy, of Kinsale. She remembered
that shortly after the last election Dr. Jago called upon
her 'master and paid him some money. She believed
that it was for voting against Mr. 'Watson. The witness
was proceeding to state in cross-examination that her
master was greatly reduced in his circumstances,
or he would not have voted against his own prin-
ciples. A question was was then put to the witness, as
to whether she did not remember the priest saying
something about the election shortly before it took
place, but before she had time to answer she fainted
away.
Mr. A. B. COCHRANE interrupted the proceedings,
remarking that the fainting of the witness was preceded
by a severe glance that an individual standing in the
crowd had cast towards her upon the question being put.
It had already been intimated that the individul was the
Roman Catholic priest stationed at Kinsale, and if he
did not immediately retire without further intimidating
the witnesses by his looks and gestures, the Honourable
Member hinted that he should feel it to be his duty to
move that he be taken into custody.
Mr. CRIPPS and Sir J. M'TAGGART, two other Mem-
bers of the Committee, said they
.had remarked the con-
duct of the priest, and concurred in what had fallen from
Mr. Cochrane.
A stern-featured personage, who appeared to apply
these observations to himself, slunk out of the room, and
the proceedings were resumcl.
Several witnesses deposed to having had money offered
to them to refrain from voting.
The Committee then adjourned.

LYME REGIS.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.)
Several witnesses gave similar testimony, and the
Committee adjourned.

ELECTION COMMITTEES.

Mr. B. COCHRANE wished to put a question
to the Right Hon. Gentleman, the Chairman of the
General Committee of Elections. He wished to
know whether it was not the duty of an officer of the
Hou:e to give notice on Wednesday, at twelve
o'clock, to the several Election Committees
that the House was sitting. No such notice
was given yesterday to the Committee of
which he was a member, and the consequence was
that many Hon. Gentlemen who wished to be present
during the debate on the motion brought forward by
the Hon. Member for Youghal were prevented from
being i❑ the House. He thought it a great hardship
that Committees should meet on Wednesdays when
the House sat on that day. However, he wished to
ask the Right Hp. Gentleman, whether it was the
duty of any office? of the House to intimate to Com-
mittees that the House was sitting, and whether
upon that intimation the Committees had power to
adjourn ?
Mr. FOX MAULE said he did not feel himself
called upon to answer the question, but he appre-
hended Committees had power to adjourn for short
intervals.

TO TITS LADIZS

This lady had the following letter inseTted in the "Tunes" news-
paper on Aug. 7, 1546. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the lierhary, High-
c;alc ter the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, is having com-

" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regenstor, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an 1 le. bottle 11 they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair lu abund-

printed and circulated among the proprietors. From
the balauce sheet it appeared that the amount of cash in
the la aids of the hankers of the company was 1,2451.
3s. 10d., and that there was a great arrear in the pay-
ment of the calls. Several proprietors reccmmenJed
the enforcement of the payment of the calls by legal
means, which the Noble Chairman stated would be consi-
dered by the directors.
The directors that retired by rotation were re-elected.
The auditor was re-appointed.
A resolution giving power to the company to borrow
a sum of 33,000/. was unanimously agreed to; as was
also a resolution giving 500/. to the directors for their
services.

A resolution was also put and carried, calling upon
the directors to press the payment of the calls in arrear,
and giving them power, in case of their non-payment, to
institute legal proceedings to compel the payment.
Thanks were then voted to the Noble Chairman, and
the meeting separated.

GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY.
THE DIVIDEND.—(TIIIS DAY.)
The polling, continued last evening until six o'clock,
on the question of the dividend, was resumed this
morning at ten o'clock, and concluded at two.
At three o'clock the proprietors met by adjournment,
when the Chairman announced the numbers to be—
For the dividend of 3i per cent. on the half-year 3,340
For f f f 4 per cent 1,211

Majority for the directors' propositton 2,129
The reduced dividend was accordingly declared pay-
able on the Ist of March. The announcement was re-
ceived with applause.
The directors 'retiring by rotation were re• elected, and
auditors for the half-year were appointed.
The usual routine business of the half-yearly meeting
having been gone through with much cordiality,
Lord ABINGER moved, and Mr. STAMFORD seconded,
in highly complimentary speeches, a vote of thanks to
•the Chairman, which was unanimously agreed to.
In answer to questions relating to the excess of the
expenditure over the original estimates, in the case of
the Berks and Hants line (which led to prolonged con-
versations), the engineer, Mr. Brunel, gave explanations
which were received with express satisfaction by the
meeting. As tar as the original plan for that line was con-
cerned, there had been really no excess over the original
estimates. The increased expenditure was owing to the
necessary extension of this branch line beyond the ori-
ginal design, the Parliamentary opposition, and the
unforseen rise in the value of land since the project was
uncle' taken.

Similar explanations took place respecting the South
Wales Railway, the works of which were stated by Mr.
Brunel, to extend pretty neurly over the whole length
of the line, and to be about half completed.
After much discursive conversation on various affairs
of the company in detail, the meeting separated.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.)
OLD COURT.

(Before the RECORDER.)
ROBBERY IN A BROTHEL.—John Mu 20, a smith;
Ann Jones, 24, spinster ; and Mary Ann Flynn, 19,
spinster, were severally placed at the bar upon an indict-
ment charging them with robbery on Edward Preston,
accompanied with violence, and stealing from his person
a watch value 355.
It appeared that on the 18th of July last Preston, who
was a labouring man, was induced to accompany the
prisoner Jones home to her lodgings in Westminster,
and while there she took the watch from his person. In
his scuffle to recover it from her, the other two prisoners,
Mulloy and Flynn came into the room, and by using
violence succeeded in overpowering him, and getting
possession of the watch.

The jury found all the prisoners Guilty.

coha-

was committed. The instrument with which that murder
was effected was a bolt, which was taken from the door
of the room. He believed that Jones had several chil-
dren by Sale.
The prisoner Jones—Yes. I unfortunately lived with
Sale several years, and have three children by him.
(The prisoner had one of them, an infant, in her arms.)
The RECORDER, in passing sentence addressed Jones
personally, and said he should have thought that the
fact of Sale, with whom she cohabited, being convicted
and executed for murder, and of that murder being com-
mitted with the very bolt which heti been taken from
their joint habitation—the very habitation where the
present robbery took place—would have been a warning
to her not to give rise to another such fatal occurrence
by enticing young men to her home and there bringing
others to use force against them for the purpose of ex-
tracting property from their person. The sentence of
the Court was that Mulloy and Flynn be imprisoned
with hard labour, for 18 calendar months, and that
Jones be transported for 15 years.
The prisoners were then removed from the dock.

GERMANY

THE NORTHERN STATES.

AUSTRIA.

There was a meeting of workmen held at Vienna
on the 22d, for the alleged purpose of remonstrating
against an intended reduction in the rate of wages,
and some of them threatened to march to the Palace
of Schoenbrunn, and destroy it. Thanks, however, to
the energetic conduct of the National and Municipal
Guards, who were effectually aided by the students,
the assemblage of workmen was dispersed without
doing mischief. In the sitting of the Chamber the
recognition of the French Republic was announced,
and a vote of 20,000,000 granted. The follow-
ing explanation on the subject of the French and
English intervention in the affairs of Italy was given
by the Minister DOBBLIIOFF. He said, "it was true
that the English Ambassador and French Chargfi
d'Affaires had received instructions from their respec-
tive Governments to make certain proposals for a
settlement of the Italian question ; that, however, no
communications had been made on the subject to the
Austrian Ministry ; that consequently there might he
a question of mediation, but not of intervention.
Neither had any communication been made by the
central power (of Frankfort) to the Cabinet of Vienna;
they had only been informed by letter that agents of
the Ministry of the Empire (German empire) had
been sent from the camp of Marshal RADETZKY to
Paris and London."

It'is generally considered that WESSENBERG will
be appointed Prime Minister.
The Augsburg Gazette publishes the following
letter from Vienna, dated August 21 :
" By letters which we receive from Italy, we learn
that the bases of the treaty of peace between Austria
and Piedmont have been settled, and that Lombardy will
remain under Austria. Peace is insured. The inter-
vention offered by France and England has arrived too
late. The good people of Paris will be consoled. The
French will be charmed to get out of the affair so
cheaply."

HUNGARY.
It is said that the Ministers ESTERHAZY and
BATIITANY have retired.

PRUSSIA.

Berlin continued tranquil on the 25th. The dis-
cussion on the law regulating public meetings has
been postponed from Thursday to Monday.

BAVARIA.

There were large assemblages in the streets of
Munich on the 23d ; the troops were drawn up in a
threatening attitude, and everything portended a
collision. 'The Government, however, having ordered
the troops to return to the barracks, and having en-
trusted the guardianship of the city to the Burgher
Guard, the people gradually retired, and the public
tranquillity was not disturbed.
