NEW COURT.

This Court was occupied during the whole morning
in trying cases for uttering counterfeit coin, none of
which possessed any feature of interest.

THE POST-OFFICE AND RAILWAYS.—Great coin-
plaints have for some time past been made by the railways
in this country, of the inadequate remuneration at present
allowed by the Post-office authorities for the conveyance of
mails, and an attempt is about to be made by several of the
leading companies, to induce the Post-office to adopt one
uniform rate of remuneration for this portion of their traffic.
At present the companies are compelled to accept any sum
the magnates at St. Martin's-le-Grand choose to allow, and
in most cases it is considerably less in proportion than the
sum paid for the old mode of conveyance, the Post-office
seeming to forget altogether that railways have added mate-
rially to increase of postage. Before railways were opened
there were no morning mails—no two, and from some places
three, deliveries a day of country letters. Under the old
system a letter from Plymouth took twenty hours in arriving,
whereas now it only occupies little more than five hours,
which must, as a matter of course, increase the number of
communications.

HORTICULTURAL AND FLORAL EXHIBITION.—The
usual annual dahlia show of the Camden Town Society was
held yesterday at the Brecknock Tavern, and drew together
a large and fashionable company. The collection of dahlias
was extensive and beautiful, and a stand of hollyhocks ex-
hibited by Mr. Holder were of the first order. The following
is a list of some of the successful exhibitors, in the order in
which they were placed :—Bloor, Crasty, Fort, Lancaster,
Lacock, Green, Chapman, Appleby, Scott, Scares, Norris,
Howe, Anson, Gibson, and Warner. The extra growers
were Messrs. Kidd, Holder (hollyhocks and dahlias), Ansell,
Cockell, and Parmenter.
CHARGE OF MURDERING A POLICE CONSTABLE.—
Yesterday William Cressy, aged 41, a labourer, belonging
to Bexley-heath, was brought before Mr. Traill at the Green-
wich Police-court by Mr. G. Hilton, superintendent of the
rural police at West Mailing, Kent, charged on suspicion of
being the person who caused the death of police- constable
James Hastie, by cutting and wounding him in Tinderbox-
alley, New King-street, Deptford, after midnight on the
2lst of February, 1846. The only evidence against the pri-
soner was given by a woman, named Mary Ann Davies,
who stated that she cohabited with the prisoner at about
the time the murder was committed, and that on the night
of the 21st of February, 1816, he returned home with blood
upon his hands and clothes. On the following
morning he
told her that he had beaten a policeman with an instru-
ment called an iron foot, and thought he had killed him.
The prisoner, who denied the WOIXIAII'S statement, waa re-
manded.
