FREE GRANTS OF LAND IN CANADA.—By the late
Canadian papers we learn that intending settlers from
this country are specially warned against departing for
the districts in which the free grants of land are to be
obtained until the months of March or April next. There
is no possible employment in these localities for new
arrivals, and several parties already arrived out there,
thinking they could at once be put in possession of
grant of land, were likely to fiuffer great distress, and
had been compelled- to proceed some hundred of miles
di:ta:to endeavour to find einployment.—Entigratiot

this country would not stand quietly by and see despotic
interference, no more than she would take part with any

gentleman who had been represented in the House of
Commons as a very harmless old woman—he meant the

were numerous, to work as spies upon each other, wield'
no one present would agree with. He was not for hav-
ing religion interfered with, but he would never approve
of the system of placing spies in a family to ascertain the
religious feelings of its members, and divulging the same
before a secret tribunal. That was not religion. (Hear,
hear.) There was a party in the house who would
not support any measure unless they had things as
they wanted in this country. As he had been speaking
of the Emperor of the French, he might just say
that that individual had recently been making war
against the English newspapers, and although he (the
speaker) had seen many abuses made of the liberty of the
press, he would say that he would rather have it exist
with all its mischief than suffer it to be controlled one
iota. (Hear.) They must tell the Emperor of the French
that before he puts down the English press he must put
down the English people—(great cheering)—for they
should be fighting not merely for their own interests,
but for the interests of all civilised beings in the world.
(Applause.) He thought there was no man in the House
of Commons better able to direct the affairs of the nation
at the present time than Lord Palmerston, who was the
right man in the right place.

THE EARL OF SHAFTESBURY AND
HARVEST HOMES.

The goad old British custom of harvest-homes has just
been revived on St. Giles's estate, Dorsetshire, the seat
of the Earl of Shaftesbury. Having previously enter-
tained at a festivity of this description the peasantry on a
portion of hie domain in that county, to the number of
nearly 300, his lordship last week invited those residing
in the parishes of Horton, Woodlands, Sutton, and Gas-
sage All Saints. The labourers and servants on the vari-
ous farms, numbering about 350, assembled during the
morning ie the yard adjoining the mansion of St. Giles,
under the care of their respective employers, and shortly
afterwards proceeded to church, headed by a band of
music. The sacred edifice was soon crowded with an at-
tentive and decently-attired congregation, the Earl of
Shaftesbury, the Countess of Shaftesbury, Lord Ashley,
and the other mernbers of the family being present. Aftir
prayers, a sermon was preached by the Rev. James
Webb, from the dth chapter of John, verse 27—" La- I
bour not for the meat which perished), but for that
which end ureth unto everlasting life." On returning
from church a bountiful dinner was provided for the
guests beneath a spacious tent that had been erected and
gaily decorated for the occasion, and each of the party
was supplied with a portion of good old beer, sufficient to
" cheer but not inebriate." The Earl of Shaftesbury
presided at the head of the table, and Lord Ashley took
the post of carver at the other end. Among the inte-
rested spectabors were Count Creptowitsch, the Russian
Ambassador, and his countess ; the Marquis d'Azegli.',
and other visitors and friends of the family. The repast
being over, and grace pronounced—
Tee Noble Eaar. rose, and said he desired to address
a few words to those around him before they left that
place. He wished to say with what gratification he saw
them there as his guests—his honest, hard-workiog pea-
santry, who, under the providence of God, had been called
to bring in and store up a most bountiful harvest. He
thought these celebrations were of great value in bringing
together all classes of society—he thought they were of
value, to show that they were all dependent one upon
another ; and that although he was the possessor of that
estate, he could have no enjoyment of it without the good
conduct of the honest laboterer and peasantry. If they
derived any benefit from him, he on the other hand, de-
rived benefit from them ; and, if they bad derived any
from these good things at his hands, he had received
them at the hand of God ; he was but the channel for
cohveying them to his neighbour. Whatever their
thanks, he wished them to be offered to the maiu source,
and that they shoula only look upon him as the instru-
ment through which any benefit had been conveyed.
That was the greatest honour to which a man could
aspire—namely, being the instrument, under God, of
conferring benefit upon his fellow-man. His lordship
thanked his good, honest, and noble tenantry for their I
readiness in co-operating with him in a work such as
this, and for giving those in their employ a day's holi-
day, without stinting them in their wages. He then
proceeded to observe that he rejoiced they were begin-
ning to revive throughout the length and breadth of the
land the goad old British custom of harvest homes. It
had fallen, unhappily, into disuse, but was
now being
revived in many parts of the kingdom. He did hope it
would be continued, because he believed such gatherings
were of benefit to them all. If any one doubted the
_good that arose from them, he should wish that person
to VW the decency of demeanour and the joyous faces
all present. He was quite certain that many of them
had formed good resolutions that day, and that, as they
had been an honour to that estate, and, be trusted, an
honour to their Christian profession, so, under the
Wesel!
ing of God, they would continue to be so, and that they
would endeavour to perform that which was the highest
honour to which they could attain—to do their duty in
that state of life to which it had pleased God to call theca.
However, he did not come therefor the purpose of mak-
ing a long address, but solely for the purpose of telling
them how
glad he was to see them alt—how happy he
was to see their order, their decency, and their comfort,
and how he trusted, under the blessing of Almighty God,
they would join with him in an earnest effective effort to
make that estate a model estate, not only for England
but for the whole of the civilised world. Then he was
sure if landlord and tenant, employer and employed,
those who had property
and those who had non e—ee.
cept that honest property of their labour—would n in
one great effort to advance each other's welfare, and to
maintain the Christian character, they would arrive at
that condition of things which was the happiest and
safest that could be attained in this fallen world. And
now he wished them hearty joy The park was open ;
there was a band for their amusement, and cricket and
other games would be provided. He trusted that at the
close of the day they would rejoice that, under the bless-
ing of God, they had had an opportunity, by rational
mirth, and by sober enjoyment, to celebrate His praises,
not only with their lipa but in their hearts. (Applause.)
Cheers were afterwards given for Lord Ashley, who
briefly returned thanks; and also for the Countess of
Shaftesbury, and the other members of the family. The
party then repaired to the nark, where dancing and a
variety of rural sports were kept up
with much spirit,
the whole proceedings being of a most
gra-
tifying character. pleasing and

noon, the fact, esia)liahed beyond a doubt, of Siminonds,
the signal man at Nash Mills, having had his danger-

signal exhibited dead against any train following on the
up line throws the responsibility of the collision upon the
men in charge of the express train, on the hypothesis,
which it is the business of the managing authorities at
Euston-square to establish, that the oriver had space to
pull up his train at or before the Nash Mills signal-post,
the danger signal at which ought to have protected both
the passenger and the coal train from collision. It is
stated in the official report of Capt. Huish that the tele-
graph signal at Nash Mills can be seen by the driver of
an approaching train on the up line at 800 yards' dis-
tance, and one of the printed instructions to every engine
driver is, that on approaching a telegraph signal station,
should the signal be at danger, he is to bring his engine
to a stand at the signal. Having failed to do that in
this instance, aud, what is more, having failed to stop
the train 200 yards further on, where the coal train stood
disabled, it is for the driver of the express to show why
he disobeyed the primary aud, perhaps, the most impor-
tant of his iastructione, the neglect of which occasioned
the collision. Was it that, not keeping a sharp look-out
ahead, he did not see the danger signal at Nash Mills
so soon as he might and ought ? Again, on perceiving
the danger signal did his fireman and guard co-operate
with bun to the full extent of their power in diminishing
the speed of the train ? After the collision the break of
Spencer, the guard, was found screwed tightly down,
showing that that means had been applied to lessen the
momentum of the train, though a question might arise
when it was applied. The express train on arriving at
Derby was 40 minutes behind its time, and the proba-
bility—supported by the concurrent testimony of people
standing at the Boxmoor station when the express passed
that point, and of some of the passengers travelling by
it, as to the terrific rate at which it was going a few
minutes before the collision—is that the driver was try.
ing to make up his lost time, and that, at the alarming
speed at which be was travelling, he was wholly unable
to bring up the train in time to avert the collision, after
first seeing the danger signal.
Adverting to the value of the telegraphic train sig-
nals stationed by a recent arrangement along the line at
short intervals, with the view to increase the precautions
against accident, the circumstances attending the colli-
sion on Monday show that, though they were not suffi-
cient altogether to prevent it, they did much to lessen i.s
violence. Indeed, but for the exhibition of the telegra-
phic danger signal at Nash Mills, the consequences to
life and limb to the passengers by the express would in all
probability have been appalling. To that circumstance,
beyond all. question, are they indebted, many of them,
for their lives ; and the 'Tsui-, in this care establishes the
wisdom of the managing body at Euston-squara in hav-
ing recourse to tbeee additional safeguards to human life.
If ary ore is dispesed to doubt this, let him fancy that
there had been no danger signal at Nash Mills, and what
the effect wouli have been. The driver of the express in
that case would not have been looking fur any signal at
a point where none existed, and the probability is that
at the rate he was going, he would not have espied the
little speck of a coal train standing in his path until he
was close upon it, and that all the efforts he might then
make to lessen the violence of the collision would have
been unavailing.
The Solicitude shown 4by the authorities at Easton-
square towards the passengers who were in any way in-
jured by the accident, ever since it took place, is in the
highest degree creditable to them. Mr. Ridedale, surgeon
of Euston-square, their own medical officer, has been
indefatigable in his visits and attentions to them at the
residences of such of them as did not call in their own
medical attendants. Mr. Skelding, of Euston-square,
has also assisted in this work, and, apprehending that
the case of Mr. Jukee, now lying at Boxsnoor, who was
more injured than all the rest, might take an unfavour-
able turn, Capt. Huish, the general manager of the lies,
yesterday requested a surgeon of great experience and
reputation to visit the unfortunate men there, and to
consult with Mr. Merry, the local surgeon in attend-
ance upon him, as to the treatment to be pursued with
respect to him.

The following weights were declared on Tuesday
last :

This was as action of trov.er to recover a lawyer's
blue bao., and a letter-book and, some papers contained
in the tag, and the case was tried before Mr. Justice
Wrightman at the last assizes for Gloucester, and a ver-
dict entered for the plaintiff.
Mr. Huddleston now moved to enter a verdict for the
defendant. The facts were, that the plaintiff was an at-
torney, and he sued to recover the amount of a bill of
costs from a person for whom he had done business, A
person named Hulme had formerly been a clerk in the
plaintiff's office, and the plaintiff subpoenaed Hulme as a
witness to appear on the trial at Westminster, The de-
fendant kept an inn at Milthat-1%, at which Hulme stayed
during the time that he was attending at Westminster,
and on that occasion Ilulme became indebted to the de-
fendant for money advanced for witness, and also for
lodging and refreshment. The amount not having been
paid, the defendant claimed to retain the bag and the
papers upon the ground that he bad a lien upon the pro •
perty for the amount of his debt. It was now subini, ted
to the Court that the defendant clearly had such a lien.
Rnle granted.
APPLICATION FOR AN INJUNCTION AGAINST THE GREAT
NORTHERN AND MIDLAND RAILWAY COMPANIES.

Mr. Welsby in the course of the morning made a
motion iu the following terms :—For a rule calling upon
the Great Northern Railway Company and the Midland
Railway Company to show cause why a writ or writs of
injunction should not issue commanding the said com-
panies respectively to cause trains to run from their re-
petitive stations at Leeds, in the county of York, south-
wards to the terminus of the Great Northern Railway at
King's-cross, in the county of Middlesex, and northwards
to the terminus of the North Western Railway at Lan-
caster' by which passengers arriving at Leeds aforesaid
from King's-cross, or from any other station on the
North Western Railway, or on the Midland Railway on
the north, and desiring to proceed from Leeds aforeFaid to
Lancaster or to any other station on the North Western
Railway, or on the Midland Railway on the north, or to
King's-cross, or any other station on the Great Northern
Railway on the south, may be forwarded to Leeds with-•
out any unreasonable prejudice or disadvantage." The
question intended to be raised was one of great public
importance, and, indeed, the application was made with
the sanction of the Board of Trade and of the hon. gentle.
man who had framed the Railway and Canal Traffic
Regulation Act, upon which the motion was founded,
in order to obtain the opinion of the Court whether
under that act of parliament railway companies
whose lines formed a continuous line of communica-
tion were compelled to " book through," and if that
were not so, it was then intended that further legislation
should be had upon the subject. The term to " book
through " meant that passengers for Leeds, for instance,
by the Great Northern Railway, should go as quickly
and as directly as they were forwarded by the London
and North-Western line. The Railway and Canal Traffic]
Regulation Act was the 17th and 13th Vic., c. 31, and
that statute enacted that every railway company having
or working railways which formed part of a c intinuous
line of railway coinmun:eation, and which having termini
near each other, sl all afford all due and reason-
able facilities fur receiving the traffic of the other,
without any unreasonable cle'ay, and so that
no obstruction may be offered to tae public. The pre-
sent motion was founded up in an affidavit which stated
that the deponent had frequent occasion to travel from
Lancaster, and other towns on that line, to London ;
that through strains ran to Easton-square but not to
King's-cross, the distance to Euston-square being
149LOct,deponent
s farther
wentan that a t
to t o King's-cross. That on the
1K n g
s•cross and demanded
a ticket for Settle, in Yorkshire, but he was informed
that they only granted tickets to carry him as far as
Leeds or Bradford. i3e took a ticket to Leeds, and, on
hie arrival there, inquired at the Great Northern office
whether there was any train on to Settfe, and he was in-
formed there was none, and that such train ran only from
the Midland stations. Ile ultimately arrived at Settle,
but was four hour's later than be would have been if
there had been a through train to King's-cress. On a
subsequent occasion he applied ae, the station at Settle
for a ticket for King's-Cross, but was informed that they
granted tickets for Elston-square only, and not to
King'e-cross. These facts, it was submitted, were suffi-
cient ground for a rule for an injunction.
Mr. Justice Cresswell—lf, asyou state, this motion is
made to raise a great inquiry as to the effect of the pre •
sent act of Parliament with a view to legislation, even
if we thought your case not made out, such a state of
things would induce us to lean very much in favour
of granting a rule ; but we cannot help thinking that
those who represent the' public have put it on a very
narrow issue. At present you put it in this way only,
that a man wishes to come to London by the shortest
line from Lancaster.
Mr. Welsby—Or from intermediate stations.
Mr. Justice Cresswell—He could come to Euston.
square, but not to King's-cross, which was 191 miles
less distance.
Mr. Weisby said his motion was founded on those
facts, but it was not intended to remedy the particular
inconvenience of the deponent only.
Mr. Justice Cress well—We can only deal with what
is told us in the affidavits. I have pointed out to you
the narrow ground on which you stand, and, if you
should hereafter slip you will have had warning before.

Rule granted. ---
COURT OF EXCHEQUER.

PARDINGTON V. TUE SOUTH WALES RAILWAY COMPANY. -
ALLEGED NEGLIGENCE.
This action was brought by the plaintiff to recover
compensation in damages from the defendants; the South
Wales Railway Company, for alleged negligence,
whereby the plaintiff lost some oxen. It appeared that
the plaintiff forwarded some cattle by the defendants'
railway, which were accompanied by a drover ; but in-
stead of their being placed in the ordinary cattle-truck,
they were secured in a closed-up van, with an apature
at the top which opened and !-but. From some cause
or other the aperture became closed, and it was disco•
vered, between Newport and Gloucester, that the cattle
were suffocated. The company had undertaken that
the oxen were to be free from all rit,k or loss in loading
or unloading them, or from suffocation, or fire, or other
injury sustained in the course of the journey. The
cause came on for trial before Mr. Baron Alderson at
the late assizes at Gloucester, when the jury returned a
verdict in favour of the company.
Mr. Keating now
applied fur a rule to show cause
why the verdict should not be set aside and entered for
the plaintiff for 1051., contending that the contract was
not smelt as could be enforced under the Railway Traffic
At, as it was unjust and unreasonable.
TheirlS sPordships considered that the contract was eper-
fectly reasonable, and that as Coe company provided ac-
commodation for the drover it was the duty of the plain-
tiff's servant to see that the cattle were safe, and that
they were secured in the usual carriage appropriated to
their conveyance. The rule, therefore, must be refused.
Rule refused accordingly.

The Assistant-Judge referred to several statutes, and
consulted with Mr. Creasy, and they agreed in opinion
that the defendant was not an agent within the meaning
of the act, and an acquittal was accordingly directed.
(Before Mr. Creasy.)
Ann Maria Sack, 47, married, and Louisa Harper, 38,
were indicted with Lydia ;Wayne, who surrendered, Sitch
for stealing the sum of 50/., the monies of Andrew Reid
Whale, her master, and the two others for receiving the
said sum, knowing it to have been stolen.
Mr. Platt appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Sleigh
appeared for Mayne.
The prosecutor was a beerseller, at 209, High Holborn,
and the prisoner Sitch was a servant in the house. On
the 6th of September he placed 301. in gold, four 51.
notes, and a St. cheque in a cupboard in an upstairs
room. The bag containing the money was subsequently
placed in another cupboard, the key of which Mrs.
Whae kept in her pocket, and on the 7th it was missed.
Information was given to the police at Bow-street, and
Holmes and Franklin, detectives, were set to work to
trace the thief. Sitch was watched, as she left the
premises one night, to a house iu the Coal-ya,ril, Drury-
lane, thence to the house of the prisoner Mayne, No.
34, Dorset-street, Dorset-square. Mayne and Sitch
then went out together, followed by one of the
officers. They went to several shops and public-
houses, and finally parted in Holborn, after which
Sitch returned to the house in the Coal-yard. Oa
the following morning the officers went to No.
Coal-yard, and found the prisoner Harper, who, when she
learned their business, raid she bad not got the money
there—it was not in the place. She said, " I will tell
you the truth ; Maria Sitch brought me a parcel, wrapr ied
up in a piece of rag, last Tuesday week. I did not know
what it contained till she told me it was money and
notes. She told me to burn the notes, which I did. I
put them in the fire, but I did not know what they were.
I then, by the direction of Sitch, took the money to
Dorset-street, and left it with Mrs. Mayne. Afterwasels
I saw Sitch, and she told me to fetch it away. I saw
Mrs. Mayne, and she gave me part of the money back
again—not 60 much as I left with her. Thera were about
30 sovereigns that I left, but I only had about 20 bat it.
After I got it I was afraid to keep it in the house, and
I left it with my aunt, who is living with a coien
dealer in Earl-street, Saven-dials, but she is not at
home, and won't be till night. I told her it was
money, and asked her to take care of it until Sunday."
Upon this information the officer went to Mrs. IVlayite,
and asked her if a parcel had been left there ty Marsa
(Sitch). She replied that a charwoman had left
one, but she did not know who she was or where die
lived, and that the same person had fetched it aerciy.
She had ascertained that it contained 271. in gold, and
she showed it to a young man, who took it out with
him, and got into the company of two women, one iof
whom, she believed, robbed him of some of it, but he
handed her back 20/., which she gave back to the char-
woman. They went to Harper's aunt, in Earl-street, wb
handed over 191., which she had received from her nieoe,
and all three were taken into custody. Sitch said, when
before the magistrate, that sho picked the bag of money
up in her toaster's back sitting room, and went to ides.
Mayne to ask her to take care of it, but sho was not at
home; and on her way back she met Harper, whom sine
told all about it, and she took the money home with her.
The jury acquitted Mayne, and found Sitch and II ar-
per guilty.

TANNED HUMAN SKIN.—Mr. Hey, of York, writing
to the Medical Times and Gazette, says :—" I beg to say
that my father Was among the eccentrics. I remember that
he- was in possession of a piece of leather, which was
made from the skin of the notorious Mary Bateman, who
was guilty of many murders by poison at Leeds 40 cdd
years ago. She was executed at York, and my grand-
father gave a course (short) of anatomical lectures on her
body at the Leeds Infirmary. I don't recollect who got
the akin tanned • but I believe both he and my father were
considered very odd in some things. My friend, Dr. Simp-
son, of York, informs me that he knew a person in Landon
(about the hospitals), who had a pair of boots made from
tho skin of a "subject," and which he constantly wore.
There is no memoir extant of this strange individual, but
it is only reasonable to suppose that he ended his days
in an asylum,

Mr. Creasy sentenced Sitch to four, and Harper to nix
months' hard labour.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—Nov. 5.

MANSION-TlOUSE.—Preclerick Huggins, a young
man in the employ of Mr. lullaby, a warehouseman in
Huggin-lane, was charged before Mr. Alderman
with robbing his master of four boxes, containing four
dozen stocks, or Beaufort ties, of the value of 41. Hs.
Mr. Risdale, a traveller in the service of tho prosecr.-
tor, said—The prisanet was a porter in the establisl-
- and it was hie duty to assist me in packing my
trap with goods taken from the warehouse. He had v o
right whatever to pack any of the goods in the boot of
the trap. We have missed a great quantity of goods fir
some time past, which made me more observant and
careful in the arrangement of the goods. It was kis
duty to accompany me in my rounds. Yesterday, by
my directions, he carried out of the warehouse the goods
I had selected for the purpose of placing them in the
trap. Whilst being so engaged I went out to the trap,
and saw him doing something under the footboard. I
then found the four boxes produced in the boot of tle
drag. I asked him why he had placed the boxes them,
upon which he replied that I had selected them. I toi d
him I had not done so, and that they were not a portio n
of those that I selected. He then said that he did not
intend to do anything with them. I took the bore
back into the warehouse, and went my journey witl
the prisoner, who on our return was given into custody.
Committed for trial,

GUILDHALL. —Gittvppe &Iselin, a soldier in t lie
British Italian Legion, was placed at the bar before Sir
Chapman Marshall, charged with attempting to stesb
several persons with a most formidable-looking knife.
Henry Partridge, an owner of a night coffee-stall,
said he saw the prisoner turn round upon a prostitute
who was following him and declaring she would give bi.at
into custody, and struck her a violent blow on the bac! c,
which knocked her down cla her face in the road. SI se
got up again, and he rushed between them, when tl,te
prisoner raised his arm in a threatening manner, at tt to
same time brandishing the open clasp knife, and utterin g
something in his native language. Witness drew back:,
and the police coming up at the time he was given int o
custody. The prisoner then slipped the knife into hi s
trousers, and it fell from him open. Ho had bee u
drinking, but knew what he was about.—M. Molinari;
an interpreter, having informed the prisoner of th e
nature of the charge, he requested him to deny that th e
knife was open. He also asked permissicn to write t.)

Clifford, alias James Hunter, a tall, well-dressed man,
a ticket-of-leave convict, was brought before Mr. Bur-
chart) for final examination, charged with the following
daring garotte robbery.
Mr. Edward Mason, on being sworn, said—l am a
banker's clerk, and I reside at 6, Oxford-terrace, Clap-
ham-road. On Wednesday morning, the 29th ult..,
between 12 and 1, I was returning home from the city,
and in passing along Blackman-street, a man suddenly
came behind me and seized me tightly by the throat.
I then saw the prisoner rush out of King's-place when
he seized me by the arms, and another man rifled my
pockets, turning them completely inside out. I called
out as loudly as I could fcr assistance, when the pri-
soner said to the man who had ine by the throat,
" Pinch him tighter, pinch him tie ter." The man did
so ; and my head fell, and I could not breathe. I was
then thrown on the ground with great violence, and all
the men ran away. I got up shortly altar ward• and
went home, and in a short tune went to the station-
house, where I saw the prisoner in custody, and I imme-
diately identified him as being the man who held my
arms and threw me on the ground.
Committed for trial.
