Cress•examined by the ATTORNEY-GENFRAL—Wit-
ness was a carpenter, and lived at No. 16, Harrow-road.
Procter was paid by Barrett as well as himself, for mak-
ing the cartridges. Was in attendance at the last session,
but was not examined.
Charles Procter was a painter. Knew Barrett for five
months, and ov Sunday, the 13th of August, he was
employed by him to make ball cartridges. Had seen the
last witness frequently with Barrett. Barrett told wit-
ness the cartridges were for some gentlemen that were
emigrating. Saw pistols and pikes at Barrett's house.
The pike now product d was given to witness's father, who
broke it in his presence, and desired him to have nothing
more to do with Barrett. Witness was a chartist.
Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Be-
came a Chartist a week after the 10th of April. Was at
the meeting at Bonner's-fields, and had attended several
of the Chartist meetings. Belonged to the Marylebone
locality.
;11r. ,Justice MArLX—What do you understand to be
Chartist. Witness—A person who is anxious to get a
fair day.'s wages for a fair day's work.—(Laughter.)
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL-110W do you expect to
get it ? Witness—by peaceable means; by petitioning,
arid n t by using such weapons as this (pointing to the
pike).
Mr. JUStiGQ MAIILE—Then you are not a physical-
force Chartist? Witness—No.—(Laughter.)
Cross-examination continued—Witness was a member
of the Emmett Brigade. Emmett was hung many years
ago, but witness did not know for what. It was not for
petitioning.
Thomas Paris—Was a blacksmith, residing at Green-
wich. Anew Davis, and was sorry he did so. Witness
never sLw him work, but saw those guns, pistols,
and other things in his shop. Met Davis
on the 16th of August, about one o'clock. He said to
witness, " You are the very man I want." He said to
witness " This is the night the blow is to be struck ;"
and he asked witness to como up to London. Davis
said he was " all right" or " all ready," and opened his
coat and showed some tricoloured ribbon.

APOTHECARIES ITALL.—The following are the
names of gentlemea who passed the'r examination in the
science and practice of medicine, and received certificates
to practise, on Thursday, Oct. 26, lB4B:—James Ilenry
Lakin, Hadlted, Atherston, Warwickshire; Edward
Gylles Crooke, Edinburgh; William James Williams,
India; Henry Potter.
I)ovia, THURSDAY MORNING.—Since Tuesday
evening a very heavy gale of wind from the west-south-
west has prevailed along this portion of the coast, and
unfortunately been productive of much havoc amongst
The shipping, several coasters having been lost.
Her Majesty's mail steam yacht Vivid, Commander
Smithett, met with a serious accident yesterday
in attempting to enter the harbour. She had made
a very quick passage from Ostend ; and just at the
moment of her entering the harbour two or three tre-
mendous teas took her and carried the vessel with fear-
ful violence against the head of the north pier. Her
paddlebox and bulwarks were carried away and her en-
gmes rendered unmanageable. Fortunately she got clear
cif, and with the aid of canvas succeeded in getting
clear of the South Foreland and made for the Downs,
where she brought up, and a lugger being sent
out to her the passengers and mail were landed
in safety. About the same time the Boulogne
steamer for Folkestone ,passed to the Downs—being
unable to make that harbour. Neither of the Calais
steamers made their appearance. Northward, numerous
casualties are reported by the pilots. The master of a
brigantine lying in the roads reports seeing a schooner
go down eight miles north of Boachy Head; all on board
are supposed to have perished. The formidable cha-
racter of the sea prevented the brigantine getting near
the spot to render assistance.
TEE VACANT GARTER.—The Garter vacant by the
demise of the Earl of Carlisle has, it is said, been con-
ferred upon t le Earl of Clarendon.
THE LATE HON. ARD REV. DR. GERALD WEL-
LESLEY.—The remains of this highly estimable gent!, .
man were to be interred yesterday in a vault within the
precincts of Durham Cathedral. Viscount Chelsea, the
Hon. Colonel Liddell, and other connexions, were to
attend the funeral. The late Countess of Mornington
(mother of the deceased), and the late Marquis Wel-
lesley, the Earl of Mornington, and Lord Cowley, are
all interred in the family vaultlat South Audley Chapel.
FATAL REMORSE.—Yesterday an inquest was held
on the body of Henry Fox, aged 34, a lamplighter in the
employ of the City Gas Company. On Saturday last
the deceased and his wife had been taken to the station-
house for creating a disturbance in the street, and being
drunk and disorderly. On Monday they were charged
before Sir Peter Laurie with the offence, and fined 6s.
each The unfortunate deceased would seem to have
been generally of temperate habits, and the disgrace of
having been locked up in a station-house preyed exces-
sively on his spirits; and this, coupled with the fear of
losing his situation at the gas-works, at length led him
to hang himself. Verdict—Temporary Insanity.
SIGNS or WlNTER.—Several flocks of wild geese
have been seen upon the Cornish coast, and quantities
of starlings have also made their appearance. Many
woodcocks have shown themselves, and a few have been
shot. A beautiful specimen of the osprey or fishing
hawk (pancion haliachis), was caught alive at Moors-
water Lodge, by P. Lyne, Esq. It was seen for several
days previously about the grounds, induced to remain
there probably for the purpose of preying on the trout
in the fish ponds, although it had been once fired at.
It was finally captured by means of a rat-gin placed on
a high pole, on which the bird attempted to perch ; it
was very slightly injured, and is now in Mr. Lyme' s
possession. According to Montagu, the osprey is rarely
met with in England, and more frequently in Devonshire
than elsewhere.—Plymouth Journal.
MARBLE VENEERING, OR SLATY PAINT.—In Ohio,
according to a New York paper, a Mr. Blake, of Akron,
has discovered a curious mineral, soft at first, and like
indigo, but hardening in a few days into a slaty stone.
On analysis it is found to consist of about
one-half silica, one-fourth alumina, with mag-
nesia. oxide and sulphate of iron, lime, and carbon. By
reducing it to fine powder, mixing with linseed oil into
thick paint, and applying it with a brush to wood, iron,
tin, zinc, or brick, it becomes, after a few months'
exposure, per ectly hard and indestructible. As
a protection against fire, it is said to be invalu-
able. In the west it is in large demand for covering
roofs of buildings, for bridges land fences, Cec., all of
which i t protects from weather as well as from fire.
School slates are manufactured by applying it to thin
wood or pasteboard. On wooden mantel fronts and
tables its appearance, when polished, is held to be
not inferior to the finest Egyptian marble. Mr.
131alse has procured a patent for his discovery. Would
not Portland cement, in fine powder, and thus applied,
with linseed oil, produce a slaty veneer over simi-
lar surfaces ? We make a present of the sugges-
tion to the Portland cement manufacturers. 1)a.
rian cement mixes with oil, and might thus,
we think, be used as paint, or for stony veneering ;
and certainly the surface of blocks of Portland cemen,
reminds one a good deal of slate: the hardening, toot
from a soft or moist state very much adds to the resem-
blance which it bears to this new world's wonder. By
the way, silica, with lime, has been found, if we mistake
not, to form a sort of glaze well adapted to give a stony
veneering, like this, to plaster.—The Builder.
FOREIGN CATTLE.—The importation of lambs from
Holland continues to take place, although the season is
so far advanced for this description of young live stock.
The vessel Lord John Russell, arrived from Harlingen,
has brought 78 lambs, in addition to a fair complement
of other descriptions of live cattle; and the large quan-
tity of 3,458 casks of butter and 300 of cheese, 100 bags
of beans, 710 quarters of oats, some packages of poultry,
bacon, acid other articles, the production of liollaud.

Cross-exstnined by the ATTORNEY. GENERAL—Did
not know whether he was a Chartist or not, but upon
being pressed, h• admitted that he was, and belonged
to the Wat Tyler Brigade. Davis was a class leader.
-Witness bought a gun in order, if there was to bo a fight,
he might be ready as well as the rest. Davis said there
would be a revolution, but witness said there would not,
as they were not ready. Davis had always a brace of
pistols about him. The gun witness bought was a
queen Anne's piece, and a real rum one.—(Laughter.)
Witness gave 6s. for it.
Reuben Collett—Was a baker and knew Davis. Was
not a Chartist, and had never been asked by Davis to
become one. Saw pistols in Davis's shop. Had heard
Davis say he was a Chartist, but never heard him say
he would wallow knee Ceep in blood for the rights of
his fellow-creatures.

Thomas Martin said that he had heard Davis make
use of that expression, but Collett was not present.
John Matthews, a bricklayer at Greenwich—had seen
Davis at several of the Chartist meetings in Greenwich
with pistols, and urging the people to join the Chartists.
John flanks, of Greenwich, said that Davis had told
him half-inch chisels were very good things to tear up
the bowels of the police, and, pointing to a musket, he
said, " these are the things that will settle your special
constables." Witnesswould not believe Davis on his oath.
Cross-examined by the ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Davis
knew witness was a special constable. Witness would
not join the Chartists, because he knew what they wanted
could never be carried out in this country.
Joh❑ Stanton, John Pinegar, and several other wit-
nesses from Greenwich, were examined for the purpose
of contradicting the evidence of Davis, but they did not
succeed i❑ doing so in any material respect.
The trial was proceeding when our report left.

For this outlay the company will possess 500 miles of railway, and a pecuniary interest in 641 miles in addition,
which may be etinsidered as a tributary to the parent line.
.In proceeding to tate the views they entertain in regard to future prospects, the directors, of course, are liable
to error, since the results are problematical ; but it will be for the shareholders to determine whether their antici-
pations are reasonable or otherwise, taking all the circumstances into consideration, and being guided by the ex-
perience of the past.
. With a view of arriving at an estimate of the future prospects of the railway, it will benoctoinnyteennideenwdtetrtoeoprrueonveedereesrdi
the order of the schedules, and to consider each head in detail.
" The liabilities contained in the 4th Schedule may be briefly disposed of. Several of the lines therein enume-
rated were obtained under circumstances which no longer press upon the company
with them at present, and therefore it is proposed to confine the following remarks to the undertakings which are
actualy in course of progress.
" GUARANTEED LINES.—It is scarcely necessary to remind the proprietors that guaranteesof
teken in most cases as much with the view to the ultimate protection of tke large inbceolsmet ies_ the company, as to
any increase of its profits—it will be observed that in no case (that of the North Union and Preston and Wyre lines
excepted, in which the London and North-Westerns and Lancashire and Yorkshire Companies unite in the gua-
rantee) is in any dividend guaranteed beyond a moderate per centage on the outlay, but as in the aggregate these
liabilities are apparently large, it may be desirable here briefly to repeat in substance the information respecting
them which has been given in a great measure on former occasions in the half-yearly reports of the company.
" On the Buckinghamshire lines, the original plan has been considerably modified and ;
the capital reduced the
guarantee is four per cent. This line may hereafter become of great importance as affording a second line toßir-
iningham, having obtained powers by Act of Parliament to work its traffic over that portion of the Birmingham
and Oxford line from Banbury to Birmingham.
esixty." The Coventry and Nuneaton is a short line, which will open important collieries. In the extent of its mineral
traffic, which will be brought upon the main line, consists its chief value.
" The Huddersfield and Manchester, and Leeds and Dewsbury', provide
..twn milesthe m
againsto s most direct
the line
present
routecon-
structed ofb
two, passing through the large manufacturing towns of Dewsbury and Huddersfield, and a very populous inter-
vening district, and with excellent termini in Leeds and Manchester. The prospects of traffic have always been
considered favourable; and when it is remembered that the guarantee is contingent on tke dividend of the mein
line, and that while the returns of the London and North-Western Company continue 7 per cent., it is limited to
41. 18s. per cent.; there seems every reason to hope that the result of this undertaking will be satisfactory.
. The Preston and Wyre is leased to the London and North-Western Company4ointly, with the Lancashire
and Yorkshire Company ; the latter having two-thirds, and the London and North-Western one-third of the risk.
" The North Union line is also a joint-lease with the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company at ten per cent. per
annum ; the loss upon this undertaking has been charged in the revenue account of the general concern, and in
both cases it is not improbable that any loss will entirely disappear with the return of commercial prosperity.
" The Shropshire Union lines are guaranteed a dividend equal to half of that of the London andNopratnhy-
Western Company, but are entitled to any profits on their own line as far as six per cent. ; further profits to be
divided equally between the two companies. The nominal capital is large, but the Shropshire Union Company
has at present confined its outlay to the formation of a line from Shrewsbury to Stafford ; the calculations
appended, refer only to that work, which brings a new and important district into immediate connection with the
centre of the London and North Western Company's lines. The canal forms a portion of this guarantee, but as it
has produced a nett profit considerably above the guarantee, and is not likely to be seriously affected by surrounding
interests, the directors feel much confidence in assuring the proprietors that they do not anticipate any drain on
their resources from this undertaking.
" The Stour Valley line will be an expensive work, and the cost will exceed the original estimate in consequence
of the line passing through a densely-peopled district, which rendered it difficult to calculate its expense.
" The guarantee of two-thirds the dividend of the London and North-Western Company is on 565,7501. The
guarantee of the Birmingham Canal is also connected with this undertaking; but as the revenue of the canal is
now yielding more than sufficient to cover it, this liability, the directors trust, may be considered as nominal.
, It
Great .may not be out of place here to allude to the negotiations which have been for some time pending with the
Western and South-Western Companies. A principal object has been to save capital on new lines by a
union of interests where the parties occupy the same districts. It would be premature to specify the particular
points ut which they
contemplate this economy, but should the arrangements now proposed be carried out, the
effect
would be materially to reduce the general expenditure..
" The only remaining guarantee is that to the Scottish Central Company, which is taken in concert with the

TURDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 28, 1848.

Lancaster and Carlisle, Caledonian, and Edinburgh and
Glasgow Companies. The lease is 7 per cent. on a ca-
pital not exceeding 1.020,000/. (of which this compan'ys
proportion is one-fourth); and as the lass, if any, is
to be borne only in proportion to the traffic which each
company receives from it, the risk is inconsiderable.
" The directors may dismiss, therefore, this descrip-
tion of engagements with reimaraing, that if they do not
offer any early or flattering prospects of profit, neither
as a whole (taking into account the additional traffic to
be brought upon the old lines) are they calculated to
prove a lasting burden on the company; and further
that the control of the working of these important
branches will add to the strength and security of the
whole undertaking is beyond doubt; and when time has
been afforded for the development of their resources, it is
not unreasonable to expect that profit also will be derived
from them. In dealing with these engagements, there-
fore, the directors assume that the liabilities will be met
by the proceeds.

The next class of obligations is that in which the
company hold stock in undertakings not yet opened, or
only partially so. The amount of capital thus contri-
buted, us per sell, dale 3, is 4,945,231/,
" The directors are aware that the net revenue to be
derived from these several lines may be varioesly esti-
mated; but however sanguine may be the expectations
of those competent to form an opinion of what may pro-
bably be realised in a few years, they desire in this
statement to take a safe view of the probable results.
" In estimating, therefore, the net proceeds of these
undertakings at 3i per cent., they by no means wish to
convey an itnpressn n that such is likely to be the issue,
but rather to place the calculation on ►o lOW a scalo as
not to be open to question.
"The subscription to the Caledonian Company is so
limited in extent that a very small dividend would not
entail much loss.

" The Lancaster and Carlisle line has paid the com-
pany 4 per cent. on its stock since the opening, and the
traffic has so largely increased, that a❑ early advance of
dividend may be expected. There will consequently be
a direct profit on this stock, and one which the directors
feel confident must steadily improve.
"The branch lines embraced i❑ the second schedule
comprise extensions into new districts, such as the
Stamford and Rugby Railway, the Clifton branch con-
necting the East Lancashire with the Liverpool and
Manchester line, the tunnel and new stations in Liver-
pool, and the enlargement of station accommodation.
The last named portion of this capital cannot be
expected to prove remunerative per se, but will
bo necessary to enable the company to obtain the
traffic expected to arise from the new lines and
extensions about to be opened isz various
directions. The means of conducting the
goods traffic at Liverpool are now quite inadequate to
the demand, and comparatively speaking a small por-
tion only of the traffic to and from the interior of the
country is yet transferred to the raiN ay. The new
station at the north end of Liverpool, and the expected
junction with the Sheffield and Lincolnshire line at
Manchester, are calculated considerably to in-
crease this business. The capacity of tho Lon-
don and North-Western line for receiving and convey-
ing a very large accession of traffic is undoubted; but
without the terminal enlargement now in course of being
provided, the directors would have found it difficult to
manage such an increase, as on a revival of the com-
mercial prosperity of the country, may reasonable be
expected.
" Having now rapidly glanced at their various liabili-
ties, it remains for the directors to point the attention of
the proprietors to the present state of the capital and
revenue accounts, and to supply materials which may
enable them to form their own judgment of the future
return.

" From the summary it will be seen that the total
ultimate expenditure is expected to be 25,562,0121. The
account will therefore stand thus :

the course in a state that beggars all description. Trials
of speed were out of the question. From the number of
events in the list, and the almost incessant rain, we
found it impossible to obtain anything like detailed ac-

" The gross revenue of the year ending 30th June,

"It therefore remains for the shareholders to decide

of the gross revenue of the company from the main line
and branches to be opened increasing to an extent of
6,424/. per week by the year 1853, when all the capital
will be called up, and the subsidiary lines be in operation.
" To produce such an increase, there is the addi-
tional revenue to be derived from all the lines enume-
rated in Schedules 2 and 3; and that steady annual in-
crease, which, with the exception of periods of severe
depression, has taken place since the lines were opened
—to which should be added, that economy of manage-

" On the other hand, the directors do not overlook
the fact, that a certain amount of traffic will be abstracted
by competing lines. It will be much less than is usually
suppostd, and the general traffic is secure to theconcern.
" In conclusion, the directors beg to remark that they
have endeavoured to avoid giving an undue colouring to
Elie prospects of the company. " At the same time they
have deemed it their duty to arm the shareholders with
an answer to the mis-statements that have gone forth;
and it will be satisfactory to them to have imparted to
the proprietors that confidence which they theiniielves
continue to feel in the undertaking.
