EAST KENT.

The committee of the directors of the East Kent Rail-
way, who last week inspected the works between Strood and
Sittingbourne, have concluded their inspection by visiting
the works between Sittingbourne and Canterbury.
They first visited the great cutting near Rhode Farm, at
Ensden, in the parish of Selling. This spot is on that part
of the main line leading from Faversham to Canterbury,
about five miles from the former. The immediate object of
the present works, generally, ,is to complete the railway
frpm Strood, through Sittingbourne, to Faversham, in order
that it may be open for traffic in September next. But as
the Ensden cutting and tunnel are the heaviest portions of
the work between Faversham and Canterbury, it has been
thought desirable to begin them at once, in order that there
tray bo as little delay as possible in the opening through to
Canterbury. The work is making rapid progress, and
&ready shows the effect of so many men ahl horses en-
gaged upon it. After leaving Ensden the committee
viewed the Ospringe embankment and Syndal cutting and
embankment, and thence proceeded along the line to

BOYDELL'S ENDLESS RAILWAY ENGINE.

A trial of Mr. Boydell's patent endless railway traction
engine was made yesterday in Woolwich marshes in the
presence of a number of gentlemen. Messrs. J. and G.
Booker, bankers of Liverpool, Mr. P. N. Bernard, Mr.
Piccioni, Mr. Blasini, Mr. Totentes, cotton planters in
Porto Rico and Trinidad, and Mr. Mechi, were present.
Colonel Tullocb, Royal Artillery, directed the experiments
on behalf of Government. One of the heaviest guns, a 88-
pounder, weighing 113 cwt. 141 b., having been mounted on a
waggon to which were attached 18 artillery horses, was con-
veyed to the Plumstead-marshes. The traction engine
having picked up a gun of equal calibre, which, together
with the engine and carriages, weighed 20 tons 5 cwt., fol-
lowed and proceeded steadily for some distance, when
from the soft state of the roads, and the small power
of the engine,
being only of 8-horse power, the experi-
ment could not be completed. It was, however, con-
sidered that the object of the experiment had been
sufficiently realised. The difficulty had been con-
siderably increased by the passage of the preceding wag-
gon, drawn by 18, and occasidnally 21 horses. This was
accompanied by a number of labourers carrying handspikes
with which they assisted in lifting the wheels. It was
stated that the Russian Government wore prepared to enter
into a contract with the patentee to supply them with a
large number of those engines.

SOUTHWARK.

CHARGE OP SHOPLIFTING.—Mary Ann Brown and
Ann litzsimons, two young females, about 18 years of
age, were brought before Mr. Combe, charged with
stealing 56 yards of doeskin cloth from the shop of Mr.
Geo. Newman, woollen draper, 61 and 62, High-street,
Borough, late in the occupation of Mr. Thwaita, the
chairman of the Metropolitan Board of Works.
Robert Bell, 33 M, said that on the previous evening,
between six and seven o'clock, he was passing in private
clothes by the Town-hall, opposite the prosecutor's pre-
mises, when he saw Brown run out of the door-way with
a roll of cloth. She then joined the other, and as they
were crossing the road witness met them and seized held
of Brown, who dropped the cloth in the road. The pri-
sons'. Fitzsimon was apprehended by another constable,
and they were both taken to the station house. On
being searched a new cloth mantle was found on Brown,
which witness had not found an owner for.
Edward Quarterman, assistant to the prosecutor,
stated that the piece of cloth produced was safe at the
doorway, just outside, shortly after six o'clock. He
was near the end of the shop after that, and he saw the
prisoners standing about, and one of them snatched the
cloth from a pile and ran off with it.
Mr. Combe asked the prisoners whether they would
prefer being tried by him, or going to the sessions to be
tried by a jury ?

They replied that they would rather his worship deal
with them.

Mr. Combe asked them whether they were guilty, or
not. They must plead guilty if he dealt with them.
The prisoners (crying) exclaimed they were guilty.
They had been without food fora long time, and had
no means of existence.

111 r. Combo committed each of them for four months
,o the House of Correction at Wandsworth, with hard
labour.

Felice Orsini delivered a lecture yesterday, at the
Pavilion, Brighton, on Austrian and Papal tyranny.
There was a large and influential auditory, and the dis-
conrse was listened to with breathless attention.
On Saturday last the Marquis of Kildare was thrown
from his horse at Castledermat. His lordship escaped
serious injury.
BODY FOUND IN me RivEn.—The body of a man
was yesterday found in the Thames near Waterloc-

PIRACY BY MALAYS.

Accounts have been received at Amsterdam,
detailing the seizure of the ship Twouthe, from
Rotterdam to Batavia, by a portion of the crow.
The vessel had been picked up and taken into Rio

Her crew originally consisted of 33, of whom 23
were Malays. When off Madeira the latter re-

in the cabin, set fire to the vessel, and escaped in

LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.)

BANKRUPTCY COURT.
(Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.)
THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK.-DISMISSAL OF THE SUMMONS

AGAINST MR. HARDING, THE OFFICIAL MANAGER.

Mr. Linklater, the solicitor in bankruptcy in this case,
applied to his Honour to dismiss the summons against
Mr. Harding, for obstructing the messenger (Mr. John-
stone) in the execution of his duty as an officer of this
court. Mr. Linklater said that in order to avoid a con.
flict between the two Courts, it had been agreed that
the messenger should be withdrawn. He said that it
was entirely untrue that there had been any unseemly
contest between the messenger and Mr. Harding, who
had behaved with all the courtesy he could in the exer-
cise of his duties. It was also to be understood that
the summons for contempt of the Court of Chancery all
parties would make an effort to facilitate the question
of adjudication.

The summons was therefore dismissed.
The case was beard in a private room.

Mr. Beard now appeared on behalf of Bainbridge, who
has now surrendered, and applied for a further adjourn.

accounts.

The application was granted.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

OUTRAGEOUS ASSAULT BY A CABMAN.—Charles
Kersey, a cab-driver, badge No. 11,362, was charged
before Mr. Haadon, with violently assatflting Mr. Thos.
Steplings, No. 26, Cloudesley.street, Islington.
The complainant stated that about half-past one this
morning he got into the defendant's cab, and told him
to drive to Cloudealey-etreet. The defendant, instead
of going the direct way, proceeded towards the Marble-
arch, when witness stopped him and informed him of
his error. He turned round and went on very well until
he got to the end of Oxford-street, near Tottenham-
court-road, when he again pulled up and demanded to
know where he was going; to. Witness then observed
that the prisoner was drunk, and at once got out of hie
cab. Witness immediately jumped off his box, seized
him by the throat and attempted to throw him on his
back, but finding he could not succeed in his attempt
he laid hold of the skirts of his greatcoat and tore it all
to pieces. Complainant held him until a police-con-
stable arrived, when he gave him in charge.
The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said he was
very sorry for what had occurred. He had been twelve
years a cabman, and never had a complaint against him
before.

Mr. Beadon said this was one of the worst cases that
ever came before him. Defendant was evidently unfit
to be trusted with a licence ; and to mark his opinion of
such conduct as defendant had been guilty of, he (Ur.
Beadon) should commit him to the House of Correction
for a month.

PIRACY BY MALAYS.

Accounts have been received at Amsterdam,
detailing the seizure of the ship Tweuthe, from
Rotterdam to Batavia, by a portion of the crew.
The vessel had been picked up and taken into Rio
Janeiro by the Talisman, a French ship. The
crew were in a most lamentable condition, but had
received every attention. She was fallen in with
on the 12th August, about 20 leagues south of
Madeira, on fire. The Talisman took off the mas-
ter, his wife, and nine hands, four of them (the
master, mate, and two sailors) severely wounded.
Her crew originally consisted of 33, of whom 23
were Malays. When off Madeira the latter re-
volted, overcame the Dutch crew, fastened them
in the cabin, set fire to the vessel, and escaped in
two of the boats, taking with them water, provi-
sions, and clothes.

It will be remembered that we reported the
arrival of a boat, with 23 Malays on board, as
having arrived at Madeira under very suspicious
circumstances, and that the local authorities had
placed the whole in confinement. The whole affair
is now explained, and it is to be hoped that these
diabolical wretches will meet with their deserts for
their committal, in intention, of one of the most
revolting murders on record.

THE SOUND DUES.

A letter from Hamburg of the 11th inst. says:-: " As you have already learnt by telegraph, a despatch
from Copenhagen announced to us that yesterday morn'
ing a final ag=reement was come to between Mr. Buchanan'
the English Plenipotentiary at Copenhagen, and the
Danish Government, on the amount to be paid by Ea'
land to Denmark as a capitalised indemnity for the r°'
deinption of the dues levied on trading vessels and pier'
chandise passing the Sound. This convention, it is true'
will have to be submitted to the approval of the Britiall
Parliament ; but that approval cannot be doubted after
the concluding report of the Parliamentary committee
appointed last session to examine into the question 01',
the origin and legality of the dues levied since time
immemorial at th passage of the Sound.
"It appears that hitherto Prussia, one of the maritime
Powers the most interested in the question of the free
navigation of the Baltic, has not yet finally pronGunaea
herself on the pecuniary indemnity she v, ill have to pal
to Denmark when the dues cease ; it has not yet been
able to fix the amount in the negotiations which have
taken place on the subject between Count Oriola„ the
Prussian Envoy Extraordinary at Copenhagen, and Al'
Bluhme, specially intrusted by the Danish Government,
as President of the Conferences, with the management
of this great international affair.

"It is also announced that Denmark, with a view to
respond to the incessant claims of the Hanse Towns Of
Lubeck and Hamburg, has Come to the resolution to re-
duce considerably the transit dues which it levies on
merchandise passing from Lubeck to Hamburg, and
vice versa by the Duchy of Lauenburg. France, which
is also much interested in the suppression or reduction
of these transit dues levied on the passage of fabricated
goods on this little corner of the Danish territory, joined
since the end of last year her complaints to those of the
two free ports. It seems even that the French Govern-
ment was resolved only to give its consent to the pro-
posed capitalisation of the Sound Dues for the benefit of
Denmark on the condition of the modification of those
transit dues."

a tunnel under the Thames, and an outlet at Long
Reach. It was owing to Mr. Doulton that so much
delay had occurred in deciding thie question. To adopt
his plan would be a waste of money.
IVlLlVietemeoisf considered thee Beard bad not sufficient
facts before them, and that they were an incompetent
tribunal to pronounce an opinion on the subject which
would satisfy the public. By delay he thought a plan
for the sewerage of the metropolis might be devised
without troubling the Thames otherwise than to carry
off deodorised water, the same as was acted on at Lei-
cester. He suggested a commission being appointed and
a deputation named to visit Leicester, and after that
take evidence on the question before corning to a deci- '
siert, whereby they would proheLly save the expenditure
of two millions. He hoped the Board would negative all
the plans before them.
Mr. NICHOLAY said the reason why probably the
Bard had not brought forward a matured plan for the
sewerage of the metropolis was o wing to its infancy, but
t nit if time were given it, it would be able to propound
a comprehensive plan, but net bound by the terms of
the act. The hon. gentleman made an amusing speech,
in carrying out an old simile of Sir. B. Hall, standing
in the position of a buffer to a keatn-engice and the
difficulty he feared they would experience from the buffer
before be agreed to any plan that might be submitted to
him from the Board. He was guided on this question
by the public press.
Mr. Deputy HenßisoN addressed the Beard at great
length, urging that he was ready to carry out the sys-
t?in of sewerage fit for the metropolis in ace rniance win
the terms of the act, but if more were wanted then they
ought to be assisted out of the consolidated fund.
Mr. DOULTON explained that, on a former occasion,
when he moved for repute with reference to Long
Reach, it was for information, and having obtained it he
Was satisfied the discharge there wvould not be satisfac-
tory.
