CALEDONIAN (MIDLOTHIAN BRANCH.)

The plans of this railway, (and also of the Leith Junction Branch,)
which had been stated to have been mislaid, were brought in by a
messenger, when it was found that the supposed loss bad been
occasioned by a mis-statement of the title on the cover.

The proposed addition is a branch to connect the Edinburgh branches
of the Caledonian Railway with Granton Pier. The length will be
three miles and a half, and the cost is. estimated at 110,0001.
Engineers and agents as in the former Bill.

There were two petitionaagainsiThis Bill—that of William
Gatherill and that of James Patterson.
Mr. Webster appeared for both.
Mr. GRAHAM objected to any appearance being made on
the part of Mr. William Gatherill, who he said was not an
interested party, having no property on the line, nor even in any
parish through which it passed. In fact, Mr. Gatherill was a clerk
In Mr. Webster's office.
The Committee, without hearing Mr. Webster in reply, over-
ruled the objection.
The CHAIRMAN said, that the petitioner was one of
the public, and the Petition contained none but general and public
objections. If the allegations had referred to the book of reference
the petition could not be entertained.
The formal proof having been given,
Mr. WEBSTER proceeded to call witnesses as to the petition of Mr.
Patterson, which contained but two allegations, both on pointsasthtios
the datum line. On looking at the plans, however, Mr. Webster
withdrew both allegations.
Tim CHAIRMAN asked it there was " anything more in
petition?"
Mr. WEBSTES—No, nor In any other.—(A. laugh.)
The standing orders were declared complied with.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY.
OLD COURT.
(Bofore Mr. Justice MArmr.)

At the sitting of the Court this morning,
William Richardson, aged 49, and described as an " astronomer,
and Anna Maria Richardson, his daughter, aged 22, were placed al
the bar charged with the murder of Theodore Horatio Richardson,
their iniaut child.

Mr. liormrs addressed the Court, and said that in this case the two
prisoners at the bar stood indicted for the crime of wilful murder.
He had to apply to the Court to postpone the trial of the prisoners to
the next sessisn, upon the ground of the illness of a material witness,
the surgeon who had made a post mortem examination of the body.
The Learned Counsel then put in an affidavit of the fact.
Mr. CLARKSON, on behalf of the prisoners, said lie could not under
the circumstances, resist the application, which was then granted,
and the prisoners were withdrawn.
Frances Leonard, a married woman, aged 45, was found guilty of
uttering counterfeit coin, well knowing it to be such.
The prisoner appealed to the mercy of the Court, stating
that she had a large fain ly, and that she had never offended but once
before.

His LORDSHIP, in addressing her, said he could not believe her
statement, as he found by a document that had been laid before him
that in the space of about seven years she had been repeatedly im-
prisoned for various periods for the same offence. Under those cir-
cumstances, he otid not think it would be sate to leave her in the
country; the sentence of the Court therefore was that she should be
transported for ten years.
The prisoner appeared horrified at the sentence, and was removed
from the dock imploring mercy.
. . _

Mary Anne Smith, described as a married woman, aged 25, Eliza-
beth Nicholson, also a married woman, aged 33, and Eliza Russell, like-
wise married, aged 28, all stood charged with the same offence,
namely, uttering base coin. The first two prisoners had been tried
and convicted for the same olience before.

It appeared by the evidence that these three prisoners were fol-
lowed about from several shops by policemen in plain clothes, who
suspected them, and found that at each shop one or other of them
made some trifling purchase, which they paid for_4l coin that was
discovered to be couuterfett.

His LORDSHIP having briefly summed up, the jury found a Yen!lc
of Guilty against all the prisoners, but recommended two of them
to mercy. _ .

The /LIME asked them upon what grounds they did so ?
The foreman said the grounds were, that they did not think those
,wo prisoners were the real utterers.

COURT —lf they are not the real utterers, then yon should acquit
them ; for a prisoner cannot be found guilty, according to the law and
the indictment, unless they be found really guilty.
The jury then withdrew their recommendation.
Upon being asked if the prisoners had anything to say before sen-
tence was passed upon them, the prisoner Russell said, " My Lord,
I hope you will have mercy upon the other two prisoners. I ask fof
none for myself, for I stand alone in the world, but they have fami-
lies, and deserve mercy. Our Redeemer came on earth to be merci-
ful to us all, and I hope you will do the same."
The prisoner Nicholson said, " I hope, my Lord, you will have
mercy on me, for I have a young family."
Mary Anne Smith remained silent, bat Eliza Russell again
im-
plored the Court to have mercy, and, addressing hiz Lordship in •
tone and manner that showed she must have belonged to a better
order of society than that in which she was now placed, exclaimed.
" I dare say, my Lord, the term of oar punishment will be a lout
one, but I wish you would visit all the severity of it on me, as that
have families, though I am not guilty of uttering," and here she
shed tears.

HIS LORDSHIP said he could not think of leaving them in the count',
after the evidence he had heard ; and the sentence of the Court,
therefore, was, thas they should each be transported for ten years.
Elizabeth Nicholson—Thank you, my Lord. I hope we shall do
better there than we have done here.

COURT—I hope so too.
The prisoners were then removed.

THE GAUGE QUESTION. ,
The Appendix to the Report of the Gauge Commissioners,
containing the evidence taken before them, will form a thick

cluded almost every individual eminent in the railway world,
either as an engineer or a manufacturer of locomotives, a
manager, a secretary, a carrier, or an amalgamator. The fol-
lowing will be found the only correct list yet published, and

MANSLAUGHTER.— FURIOUS DRIVING. Yesterday
morning Mr. Thomas Wakley and a highly respectable Jeri,
assembled in the Admission-room of Middlesex Hospital, to investigst6
the circumstances attending the death of Mr. Daniel Ethetingtorif
aged 83 years. The deceased was a master tailor, and resided at 310'
21, Silver-street, Golden-square. Charles Philpott, postboy,
Brewer's-court, Bedfordbury, said that he saw the deceased man
on
the morning in question, passing out of Hanover-street into Of
square, when a four-wheel chaise driven by a groom came up at 0
most furious pace, and although there was plenty of room for the
driver to pass, he drove right on to the deceased and knocked his"
down. Witness aas sure the accident could have been avoicitd if tits
reins had been at all checki.d. There was no one besides the scream',
in the vehicle at the time, and when he heard the cries of " sto_P
him," he flogged the animal, thus increasing the speed, and ultimately
escaped, having driven into itegent-street. Deceased died on Friday
morning. Verdict—" Manslaughter against some person or persoo'
unknown."
FRENCH RAILROADS.—The Commerce announces that
the railroad from Amiens to Abbeville may be opened to the publl°,
in the course of this year, as the chief engineer had promised that It
should be, a few works only remaining to be completed, and whico
cannot require much time. From Abbeville to Etaplea the embank;
ments are considerably advanced, and much of the land required fur
the remainder of the line has been purchased by private treat'',
without the intervention of a jury, and which will permit all the wore,
on that section of the line to be completed this year. From EtapleS to
Boulogne, the nature of the ground has not permitted the
contractors to advance so rapidly, the earth being impregnated with
humidity. We have, however, hopes of seeing the line opened tr,
Abbeville in 1846, and to Boulogne in 1847. The Journal de Lilt'
announces, that the preparatory inauguration of the section of ti's
Northern Railroad comprised between that city and Arras took piaci!
on Friday. The Prefect of the North, together with the principal
functionaries and the persons employed on the line, repaired on that
day to Arras by a special train, and returned to Lille in the evenied;
Experimental trains daily traversed the distance between Lille and
Arras, and Douay and Valenciennes, to test the good condition of the
road, and regulate the service, which is to commence on the Ist of
April.
Wicks was executed on Monday for the murder of
Mr. Bostock. In the evening he was the here of a doggrel poet*:-
which was sung in the streets. Here
kindred,
stanzad,
Adieu. my friends and
My tender mother dear,
That God that reigns above will tooth
Your pains, and dry your tears.
I fear my tender mother
I your Peace of mind destroy,
I am a wretched and forlorn
. • Poor London apprentice boy."
The ready pen of the poet, 'which so speedily turned his death t°
profit, the looks of the men who sung the dirge to the populace, All
the awakened curiosity, for no higher feeling was apparent amonSl
the crowd, are tit pendants to and illustrations of the morning eOl
cutiOn. It was really what the vulgar call it, a " sight," which they
went to see, as they go to see the Lord Mayor's show, but retell!
from it less edified than from beholding the gaudy but hmocerl'
spectacle of the,City king.

A SERGEANT OF THE 18TH FOOT SEoT.—Yestercl4
afternoon a detachment of the provisional battalion left the garris°i?,
for ball practice tiring at Upnor, the usual place the troops resort t"
for practice, tkere being an extensive range of hills bounding t.tl
river Medway. Three targets were placed at equal distances, '°
the line of soldiers to fire at; a volley of masketry having bel
fired, Sergeant James Id`Collison, of the 18tk Royal Irish, one °
the sergeants is charge, advanced a few paces, for the Of:
pose of examining the penetration of the bullets, when one of the
privates in the line, 't
was loaded, fired off his piece",
and the ball striking the sergeant, he instantly fell. On beim;
raised, it was found that the ball had passed through the fleshy low'
of his arm, and entered the side, coming out under the shouldcr
blade. The officer in charge of the detachment had the serge g -
carried off the ground, and conveyed to the detachment hospital'
where the poor fellow lies in extreme agony; some of his clothing,
it Is supposed, has lodged internally, and the bladebone is much Di'
jured. The soldier who committed the act had no intention of shoot
ing the set grant, his aim was at the target.
VAN DIEMEN'S LAND COMPANY.—The twentieth
annual meeting of this company was held yesterday. The reportt

Order.

PROCEEDING UNDER THE INCOME-TAX.—Notices ba/e
been posted on the church doors of St. Bride, Fleet-street, of a Pr°-
ceeding under the property and income-tax of a very unusual nature'
The notice sets forth that one Robert Reynolds, who had been sr
pointed one of the collectors of the above tax, was found to have ~rec-
eived during the last year the sum of 2501., which he had not duly
accounted for, and that therefore the commissioners for general Pr:
poses of the Act had, by 'virtue of the powers given to them, issues
warrant to seize and imprison his person and his estate and effects'
and lastly, that they will, on the 3d instant, proceed to a sale of Plc
estate and effects, and apply the proceeds in liquidation of the I,s'
lance due. The defaulter was a stationer, &c., in Fleet-street.
THE INDIA MAIL.—The letters and newspapel:

ELGIAN EASTERN JUNCTION

RAILWAY.

The attention of the Directors having been drawn to an advertise-
ment relative to this Company, which appeared in the papers of
Friday and Saturday last, signed Henry Philipps, deem it right, in
order to prevent misunderstanding, to observe that what the
Directors stated through their solicitor to the meeting held on the
25th instant was, that although they themselves entertained a very
favourable opinion of the prospects of the undertaking, they would
not, if :t should appear to be the wish of the great majority of the
Shareholders, throw any obstacle in the way of a dissolution (pro-
vided always it could be done with good faith to the Belgian Govern-
ment) if a sufficient number of the Shareholders could be found
miring to make their deposits subservient to the following pur-
poses :
To secure the Directors against loss on the six thousand and add
shares they had recently taken up in addition to their former allot-
ments.

To pay the 12,0001. advanced by the Conventionairea.
The 3,000/. still remaining due.
To provide for the probable forfeiture of the 30,0001. which had
been paid as caution money.
And for the total amount of expenses incurred, as well as for the
repayment in full of the deposits to those Shareholders who are un-
willing to abandon the undertaking.
By order,
W. G. BIC/CIiBLL, Secretary.

66 I'M OPEN! I'M OPEN!"
A SONG OF TRIUMPH FROM THE NEW ES-
TABLISHMENT.
I'm Open ! I'm open, in all my display
The glory of trade and the pride of my day.
I'm open in vastness, and splendour, and none
Can equal the warehouse of MOSES and SON.
Say, ye who have seen me triumphantly rise,
If I mov'd not your hearts with a thrill of surprise,
Say, say what you thought, when in wonder you cast
Your eyes on my building—so costly, t.o vast!
And say what you thought when you heard the glad shout
In honour of MOSES. within and without.
Proclaim my vast triumphs wherever you go
That others may see, and that others may know.
I'm open ! I'm open ! but net to delude
With empty attractions and vain magnitude.
I'm open to publish what wonders are done
By the dauntless projectors, E. 3,10.-. ES and SON.
My vastness of building is nought but a proof
Of vast speculations beneath my wide roof. •
The extent of my houses proclaims, you must know,
Extensive advantage to high and to low.
Bright prospects (if rightly observed) will appear
On the glittering globes of each bright chandelier.
On the pillars of marble, this truth is display'd :
" E. MOSES and SON are the pillars of trade."
The glasses which double all objects reflected
Speak loudly of double advantage effected.
E-v'ry room which the monarch-like warehouse displays
Some hint of importance—some meaning conveys.
I'm open ! I'm open ! well stor'd with attire,
Whose style and materials all will admire.
I'm open, with gutters, whose elegant taste
Has nothing defective and nothing misplac'd.

GOWLAND'S LOTION.—This well-known
and highly appreciated appendage of the British toilet has for
nearly a century past maintained unrivalled reputation as a perfect
remedy for all impurities of the skin, together with the valuable pro-
perties of a preserver and sustainer of the complexion of the most
genial nature, removing every trace of sallowness and discolouration,
and promoting the transparency and brightness of the skin, which
constitute the peculiar graces of a fine complexion.
" Ztobt. Shaw, London," is in white letters on the Government
Stamp, without which none is genuine. Price Is. 9d ; be. 6d.
Quarts Its. Gd. Sold by all Perfumers and Chemists.

ROWLAND'S KALYDOR, on eminently
balsamic preparation, is equally celebrated for its safety in
application, as for its mild and soothing operation, in thoroughly
purifying the skin of all redness, pimples, spots, freckles, tau, and
discolourations ; producing a healthy freshness and transparency of
complexion ; and an admired softness and delicacy on the hands,
arms, and neck!
In cases of chilblains, chapped skin, or incidental inflammation, it
13 pre-eminentlf successful, and gentlemen after shaving will
find it
allay all irritation and tenderneas of the skin, and rehder it soft,
smooth, and pleasant. Balmy, odoriferous, and creamy, its purifying
and refreshing properties have obtained its exclusive selection by the
Court and the Royal Family of Great Britain, and those of the Conti-
"ha of Europe, together with the "Cote" of the aristocracy, and
"haute voles."
Its high reputation induces unprincipled shopkeepers to offer the
spurious " Kalydors" for sale, composed of mineral astringents,
utterly ruinous to the complexion, and by their repellant action en-
dangering health. It is, therefore imperative on purchasers to see
that the words "Rowland's Kalydor" are on the envelope (an en-
graving of exquisite beauty frßOwr.ANDtte by Messrs. Perkins,
Bacon, and Co.) and that A. and SON, 20, Hatton-
garden, are engraved (by authority) on the Coveniment Stamp affixed
on each bottle. Price 4s. 6d. and Ss. id. per bottle. Sold by the
Proprietors, and by chemists and perfumers.

DR. LOCOCK'S PULMONIC WAFERS,
From Mr. J. P. Williams, Chemist, Church-street, Tredegar,
23, 1845.
" Gentlemen—A number of my friends have experienced great be_
neflt through taking Locock's Wafers. One friend, named Amy
Celamore (subject to asthma), had a box last week, and has already
received great benefit from them, although she did not take the
whole, as she divided the box among some of her neighbours. Every
one speaks highly of them, and they are taken by some of the first
families in the town. (Signed) "WILLIAMS."
Dr. LOCOCK'S WAFERS will give instant relief and a rapid cure
of asthmas, coughs, and all disorders of the breath and lungs.
To SINGERS and PUBLIC SPEAKERS they are invaluable for
Clearing and strengthening the voice: they have a most pleasant
taste. Price 15.1%d., 2s. 9d., and 11s, per box.

LOW RATES OF PREMIUM.
In addition to the subscribed Capital of 300,0001., the Assured have
the security of the Company's rapidly increasing income, and an
accumulating Assurance Fund invested in Government and other
available securities, of considerably larger amount than the esti-
mated liabilities of the Company.
The rates of premium are reduced to the lowest scale compatible
with the security of the Assured and the stability of the Company,
thereby, in effect, giving to every Policy Holder an immediate and
certain Bonus without risk, in lieu of the deferred and frequently
delusive prospect of a periodical division of Profits.
