ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.

HOME CIRCUIT.—GUILDFORD, AuG.ll.
(Before Mr. Justice Willes and a Special Jury.)

PORTER V. THE NORTH LONDON RAILWAY COMPANY.

This was an action to recover damages for injuries alleged
to have been sustained through the negligence of the de-
fendants.
Mr. Hawkins was counsel for the plaintiff. Mr. E.
James, Q.C., and Mr. J. Browne appeared for the com-
pany.
The plaintiff, it appeared, was a watchmaker at Poplar,
and about 66 years of age. He bad, it appeared, gone with
his wife to attend Divine service at Highbury, and the acci-
dent in question took place at the Stepney station upon his
return. According to the plaintiff's case, the train had
quite stopped and he was about to alight when it suddenly
moved on again, and the consequence was that he was
thrown down between the train and the platform and re-
ceived most severe injuries, among others several of his ribs
being crushed. The accident was alleged to have arisen
from the moving on of the train after it had stopped, and it
was also urged that there were not sutheient servants at the
station to assist the passengers from the train.
Mr. James made a very eloquent address to the jury on
behalf of the defendants, and he said that while they deeply
regretted the accident he had sustained, they were at the
same time bound to defend the present action, because,
from the inquiries they had made, they had reason to believe
outthat heof t

out this fact the defendants would be entitled to a verdict.
Several witnesses belonging to the railway were then
examined, and they deposed that the plaintiff attempted to
get out of the carriage while the train was in motion, and
that the consequence was that he fell between the carriage
and the platform. A passenger, who was in the same car-
riage with the plaintiff, also deposed to the same fact.
Mr. Jus.ice Willes, in summing up, explained the case
to the jury, and said that the defendants would not be liable
under the present form of action, unless it was clearly
made out that the accident was occasioned by the negli-
gence of their servants; and if they should be of opinion
that the plaintiff by his own want of caution and negligence
contributed to this accident in the smallest degree, he could
not recover damages for the injury that resulted.
The jury retired, and after being in deliberation for two
hours they informed the Court that there was no proba-
bility of their agreeing upon a verdict, and requested to
know whether.. the verdict of a majority would be received.
This proposition was not accepted, and the jury again
retired to their room, where they remained three or four
hours, and at the rising of the Court, it being intimated
that there was no probability of their agreeing, they were
discharged without giving a verdict.

fendants.

from the moving on of the train after it had stopped, and it
was also urged that there were not sufficient servants at the
station to assist the passengers from the train.
Mr. James made a very eloquent address to the jury on
behalf of the defendants, and tae said that while they deeply
regretted the accident he had sustained, they were at the
same time bound to defend the present action, because,
from the inquiries they had made, they had reason to believe
that lie had brought the misfortune upon himself, by getting
out of the cars iage while the train was in motion, and before
it bad stopped at the station ; and he said that if he made
out this fact the defendants would be entitled to a verdict.
Several witnesses belonging to the railway were then
examined, and they deposed that the plaintiff attempted to

SPECIAL MEETING.

The meeting was then made special.
The CHAIRMAN moved a resolution, authorising the
creation of £t260,050 of stock, bearing a preference dividend
of £5 3s. 10d. per annum for the purchase of the Barnsley
brlnch ; end he remarked that nothing. was to be done that
had not been several times fully explained to the sharehold-
ers.

The motion was agreed to unanimously.
The CHAIRMAN next moved a resolution, authorising the
creation of D 269,024 stock, with 42 per cent. preference
dividend, being this company's moiety of the sum necessary
for carrying out the purchase of the Blackbur❑ line.
It was explained by the Chairman, Mr. Fenton, and
others, that Ole present was a very favourable time for a
financial operation ; that two years were allowed for pay-
ing off the five per cent. preference holders of the Black-
burn Company, and that upon the new shares issued £1
would be called on the 30th September, another 11 before
the end of the year, and the remainder of the £5 whenever
it might he determined to pay off the holders of Blackburn
ordinary stock.
The motion was unanimously adopted, and the proceed-
ings laminated wills thanks to Mr. Wickham for presiding.

LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE.

The half-yearly meeting WAS held on Wednesday at Man-
chester—Mr. H. W. Wickham, M.P., presiding. There
was a good attendance of directors and shareholders.
The CIIAIRMAN' said that at the last meeting he ex-
pressed regret that the traffic of the half-year showed a con-
siderable falling off; and he now had to state that the total
amount received during the last half-year fell short of the
amount received in the corresponding half of 1857—it being
the first time in the history of the undertaking that such a
thing had occurred. (At the last meeting he said he be-
lieved that the cause of the depression was transient—that
it was principally the effect of the commercial panic—and
that as trade revived so would the prosperity of the company
rapidly increase, as it hid done on former occasions; and
he still held that opinion. (Hear, hear.) The revenue
of the company fir the half-year amounted to £561,335,
as against £610,714 in the half-year ending June, 1857 ;
showing' a decrease of £49,371. Of this sum £20,492
was on passenger traffic. There had been a decrease of
217,000 in the number cf passengers carried ; and the defi-
ciency on this account was about £12,000, while £8,456
was due to the shorter average of the diseances the passen-
gers had hePo carried. The merchandise receipts showed
a falling (got' £28,550, although the goods carried had been
39,000 ton; in excess of the first half of 18:17. These 39,000
tons ought to have represented an incr,ase of £9,000; so
that, compared with what might be called ordinary times
there had lren a fa ling off cf £37,650. A few thousand
pounds must be allowed for the shorter distances the goods
had been carried; and the whole of the remainder of the
deficiency truest be attributed to the competition of rival
cosnpanics with whese undertakings that cf this company
was interlace.'. (Hear, hear.) The directors had in-
varieb'y done their utmost to secure the best rives
possible; but as the board were ietermincd to hold their
own as far as they could, and as other parties had
tiled to obstruct the traffic from the coropany'a lines the
board had been compelled to reduce rates. Tie directors
had been most anxiously and almost continuously engaged
in endeavouring to put an end to this unfortunate state of
things; and he thouelit he might congratulate the share-
holders. that there was now some prospect of success.
There had been several meetings with the representatives
or other companies; and upon the previous day there was
a mos' influential meeting at tit" Eus-on Hatel, Lewton,

THORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTjLE.-
It is only a short time since this singularly efficacious article
of animal diet first made its appearance ; and already its celebrity
is world-wide. It has been a subject of wonder, and has puzzled
many a brain to explain how this has been brought about. Yet
When we are acquainted with a few facts concerning the food, our
wonder will cease. A. few days since, a gentleman wrote, stating
that he had a horse which was a " perfect bag of bones." Ile tried
all kinds of things to get the animal into condition, but in vain.
lie then bought some of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was
wonderful. The horse rapidly grew fat, aad in the course of a few
weeks had gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late
agricultural show at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which
carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thorley's
food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we are forced
to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely from its own in-
trinsic merits, and the great demand for it can proceed alone from
the good opinion and testimony of those who have tried it. All
parties interested in horses and cattle will do well to apply to 77,
Newgate-street, Loudon, for a pamphlet which is sent post-free.

CONSPIRACY FOR THE MASSACRE

OF THE CHRISTIANS.

MARSEILLES, AUG. 12.

The Courrier de Constantinople of the 4th instant
states that the late collisions in Bosnia, in Turkish
Croatia, and in Montenegro, have caused a sort of
panic in the capital. The Mussulmans and the
Christians were living in mutual fear of one another.

The Sultan, to show his own confidence, had gone
in the fleet on an excursion to Smyrna and the

M ID -S USS EX.

The half-yearly meeting of this company was held on
Friday, at Petworth—Mr. J. Garrard in the chair.
The report stated that the directors could refer with the
greatest satisfaction to the progress already made in the
works for the construction of the railway. Nearly the
'whole of the Masonry on the lower section of the line
,(11 miles in length) including the bridge over the river
Arun, at Pulborough, has been completed, and the
remaining wanks ate. in so forward a state tiatt this sec-
tion could be completed within
three months without
difficulty. Upon the upper section, however, in c•inse-
(pence of difficulties interposed by some latelowners,• the
progress in the works has not been so satisfactory ; bat
in spite cf these obtacles, the directrrs hope that the
line will be c.nnpleted by the next halt-dearly meet-
ing. Tue directors have received a memorial, numerously.
and respectab'y signed, from the landowners and residents
in the neighbourhood of Arundel and Littlehatuptoi, pray-
ing thetn to carry out the original scheme proposed for rime
accommodation of Mid-Sussex by the extension of the line
to these towns. The pr•ject has obtained the approval and
sanction of the Duke of Norfolk, whose prop.lity is princi-
pally affected by it ; but, as no assistance can under existing
circumstances be expected from the Brighton Company, it
behoves those parti:s principally interested to make- such
exertions as shall coon terbalance the absence of support from
the Brighton Company.

says :—" The following are details of the Minis-
terial crisis. It is certain, in the first place, that if
the Ministers tendere44heir resignation, that course
was brought about by the Prince Regent himself.
After long deliberation the Ministers resolved not
to offer their resignations, but to submit to the
Prince a new programme. M. Flottwell, Minister
of the Interior ad interim, who considered his func-
tions as terminated once that he had issued the
circular relative to the elections, requested at the
same time the Prince to allow him to retire and
resume the office of President of the Province of
Brandenburg. The Prince declared that he intended
to retain him permanently as Minister of the In-
terior; but M. Flottwell answered that he could
not remain Minister under the Presidency of Baron
de Manteuffel, and that, besides, his views werenot
in accord with those of the other members of the
Cabinet. H.R.H. then expressed the hope that all
the Ministers would place themselves at his dis-
posal. M. Flottwell asked if he should tell them
so, and H.R.H. answered in the affirmative. M.
Flottwell having communicated with the other
Ministers, the latter held a council and resolved
that their President should once again explain the
situation to the Prince. This M. de Manteuffel did.
The Prince requested a written report, and one
was drawn up with such despatch that it was pre-
sented to him next day. In this report, which was
written with much abiltty and dignity, the Minis-
ters exposed the present state of the country, gave
the assurance that they had administered the
country during ten years in the most conscientious
manner, according to the instructions of the King,
declared that after due reflection they considered
themselves bound, as responsible Ministers of the
Crown, to advise that no sudden change should
be made in the system heretofore followed, and
concluded by saying that they were disposed,
if H.R.H. thought their services useful, to remain
in office and to conform to the will of the Regent.

COLONIAL.

TEA.—The market is very quiet, and prices show no
change of importance ; a considerable quantity is announced
for public sale during the week, and the private contract
market is consequently inactive. Stocks on hand at the
present time amount to about 66,224,000 against
73,51,1,0001b5. at the same period of last year.
Staiin.::-The tone of the market is steady,but there is
very little business, and prices are unaltered. In the
refined market the transactions have been to a fair extent
and at previous quotations.
CorFEE.--The inquiry for all descriptions has been
very limited, and only small quantities have beenannounced
for public sale. Plantation Ceylon continues steady at
about former quotations.
Rim—There has been rather more inquiry, and good
qualities of Bengal have been sold at a slight imrovement.
FRUIT.—The demand for new fruit continues active,
and prices have an upward tendency. New currants sell
readily at a slight advance, and !Valencia raisins and figs
are much inquired for, the new crop of the latter article,
more especially the better kinds, being deficient compared
with last season.
SALTPETRE.—The market is rather firmer, and holders
refuse to sell at last week's quotations.
TALLOW.—A further slight decline may ba reported in
prices, notwithstanding the telegraphic news from St.
Petersburg announcing rather severe weather. P.Y.C.,
on the spot, 49s 3d to 49s 6d ; all the year, 49s 6d and 49s
9d per cwt. for January to March delivery.

LYCEUM.

Last night that magnificent concentration of talent, the
elite of musical artistes, the chosen sixty of M. Jullien,
performed a selection from " Der Freischutz." The intense
meaning of the composer has never been so grandly inter-
preted before; both the conception and execution left nothing
to be desired. The audience acknowledged a treat so un-
usual with acclamations of applause at the close. We regard
this as one of the finest of M. Jullien's musical efforts, and
hope to hear it frequently repeated, despite the threatened
self-banishment of the illustrious composer.

DRURY-LANE.

The ninth week of the Pyne and Harrison company
opened last evening with Auber's ever delightful and
sparkling opera, " The Crown Diamonds." Miss Louisa
Pyne undertook the difficult role of Catarina, and rendered
its music with her usual delicacy of tact and brilliancy.
The duet with Diana (Miss Susan Pynej was unanimously
encored, as also was Rode's celebrated air with variations,
which was introduced by Miss Pyne upon this occasion
with the most triumphant success. It was of itself a mas-
terpiece of extraordinary modulation, and more resembled
the effect of a tour de force masterpiece of manipulation on
the flute or flageolet than a specimen of vocalisation. Mr.
W. Harrison's Don Henrique de Sandoval was a dashing
impersonation, the music of which was delivered with feel-
ing, power, and that artistic ease and facility for which this
artist is so remarkable. Several of his morceaux were en-
cored, and Brinsley Richards' favourite ballad of " Oh,
Whisper what thou feelest," was repeated with marked
applause. Mr. Henry Corri made his first appearance this
season as Rebolledo, the coiner chief. Mr. Corri's baritone
told to great advantage, and his histrionic power was fully
appreciated, as it deserved—his make-up should not be for-
gotten, which is deserving of the greatest praise. The
audience appeared to appreciate the music of this
truly charming opera as much as ever, and if

bouquets, encores, calls throughout the piece and at the
fall of the curtain, together with the most marked, conse-
cutive, and unequivocal applause, constitute public appro-
bation, we can only designate the representation of " The
Crown Diamonds" at Drury-lane as an obvious and decided

THE EAST.

A letter from Rhodes of the 23d ult. gives the
following account of the incidents which caused the
English Consul to strike his flag :—" The English
Consular Agent residing at Castelorizo was insulted
by some Ottomans ; he made a report to the Consul
at Rhodes, who demanded from the Governor that
the offenders should be removed to Rhodes and
punished severely. The Turkish cutter stationed
in the port was accordingly sent to bring those
persons to Rhodes, but on their arrival the Governor,
instead of placing them in confinement, allowed
them to walk about the town, alleging that until
they should be tried and condemned he could not
punish them by imprisonment. The Consul then
went in full uniform to the Governor, and declared
to him that his allegation was only a pretext to
avoid doing justice, and that if the men were not put
in prison at once he should consider Great Britain
insulted. But the Governor refused to change his
determination. The Consul in consequence struck
his flag, sent a note to the Governor announcing
that he had put an end to official relations, and
confided to the French Consul the protection of
the interests of British subjects. He has sent a
report of the whole affair to the English Embassy
at Constantinople, and is now awaiting instruc-

tions."

THE ARNE

A general court-martial, under the presidency of
Lieut.-Col. C. E. Fairtlough, commanding the 3d
battalion of infantry at Chatham, was ordered to
assemble at that garrison yesterday morning, by
order of the Commander-in-Chief, for the trial of
private Thomas Tole, of the 7th Royal Fusiliers, for
having, when serving with his regiment in the
Crimea, in 1834, deserted to the Russian enemy,
along with a companion named Moore, since dead.
The. prisoner was apprehended in Manchester a few
months back, and conducted to Chatham barracks,
whre the depot companies of the 7st Fusiliers are
stationed, and has since been kept in strict confine-
ment to await his trial. Owing, however, to the
length of time since the desertion took place, and
the difficulties experienced in procuring the neces-
sary evidence to support the charge, his trial has
of necessity been postponed. After the order for the
assembling of the court had been issued, certain
circumstances came to the knowledge of the autho-
rities, on which the Duke of Cambridge counter-
manded the order for the assembling of the court-
martial until further orders, and the trial of the
prisoner has been still further postponed. It is un-
derstood that certain important evidence in support
of the prosecution has been recently obtained by
the authorities.
The whole of the troops stationed in Woolwich
garrison were yesterday drawn up in contiguous co-
lumns on the barrack field fronting the Royal Artil-
lery.quarters, and having been inspected by Col.
Bloomfield, commanding the garrison, they were
ordered to commence the winter regulations in lieu
of field drills, viz.," marching out." Headed by the
commandant and garrison staff, and preceded by the
divisional hands, the battalions of Royal Artillery
and the other infantry regiments, in command of
their respective officers, marched over Blackheath
and 'returned by the Grenwich and Charlton roads ;
whilst the mounted corps proceeded over Shooter's-
hill, through and the adjacent villages on
that line of road. The above regulations arc or-
dered to be continued until further notice, weather
perinitting.
Yesterday morning the 31st company of Royal
Engineers, under the command of Captain A. B.
Fyers and Lieut. W. J. Engledue, left head-quar-
ters, Brompton Barracks, Chatham, and proceeded
to the Curragh, where they are to be employed
during -the winter in camp and barrack repairs and
in engineering operations.
The steam transport Melbourne, Capt. Jolliffe,
arrived at Spithead yesterday, from Gravesend,
with the troops on board. already reported, and took
in 3 °facers and 30 men of the 49th Foot, after em
barking whom she sailed for Cork, to complete her
military freight, whom she will convey to Barba-
does and Jamaica.

ALHAMBRA PALACE

Messrs. Howes and Cushing commenced their winter
season last evening at this splendid edifice, with the most
encouraging tokens of success. During the absence of the
great American troupe from,the metropolis, great additions
have been
,made to it, and it now embraces some of the
most wonderful equestrians, both male and female, that
ever graced a saddle. The company is now composed of
60 of the most renowned performers, amongst whom may
be found Mr. William Omar, Mr. Holland, Mr. Murray,
Mr. Richards, Miss Rose Madigan, Madlles. Mathilde,
Gertrude, &c., &c. ; and, in order that a proper quota of
fun may be given, no less'than four clowns have been en-
gaged, viz., Myes, Pentland, Ferdinand, and Jackson.

PRUSSIA.

The Prince of Hohenzollern on the 6th took the
usual oath to the eonstitution. The other members
of the Cabinet signed . the same day the political
programme which had been drawn up, and were
received by the Prince Regent.

A Berlin letter in the Post Gazette of Frankfort
says :—" The following are details of the Minis-
terial crisis. It is certain, in the first place, that if
the Ministers tendered their resignation, that course
was brought about by the Prince Regent himself.
After long deliberation the Ministers resolved not
to offer their resignations, but to submit to the

of the Interier ad interi►n, who considered his func-

ASTLEY'S.

Last night the favourite spectacle, entitled " The Wood-
man's Horse ; or, The False Knight," was renewed here
with new scenery, dresses, and decorations. The piece,
when first produced, met with great success, and, from the
enthusiastic manner in which its repetition was received, a
second success, more enduring than the former, seems to be
pretty certain. The part of Clarence, the supposed low-
born, but noble youth, was sustained by Mr. Holloway with
his usual ability ; and Miss Weston, as the Cicily Talk,
secure a full share in the honours of the evening The
other characters were very fairly sustained, but the play is
to be prized chiefly for the frequent opportunities it affords
to a horse not inappropriately named " Beauty," to exhibit
the wonderful accomplishments that he has acquired under
the skilful tuition of Mr. Cooko. This learned steed is, to
all intents and purposes, the hero of the drama, and a
" hero" he may well be called, since he does battle for dis-
tressed damsels, makes unmannerly oppressors take to their
heels, restores captives to liberty by drawing with his teeth
the bolts of their prison-doors, and, in a word, performs
many of the glorious achievements which fell to the lot of

knights errant in the days of chivalry. At the
conclusion of the drama, previous to the " scenes
in the arena," Madame Amilise Maurice made her
first appearance in one of those perilous feats which
causes, to a portion of the audience at least, great anxiety,
viz., the ascent from the back of the stage to the highest
gallery on a line of telegraphic wire. The ascent, though
awe-inspiring to the spectators, has no terrors for Madame
Maurice, who performs her wonderful journey with ease,
amidst the loudest applause—in fact, "the gods" almost
seemed inclined to insist on an encore. Another novelty
was the introduction. f a troupe of performing doga. The
entertainment concluded with the ever brilliant and ever
amusing " Scenes in the Circle," in which Mr. W. Cooke
showed to what perfection he had brought the art of horse-
training. The house was crowded.

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

" Dr. Pickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other equally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.

" The editor -has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Spermatorrhma and the
various forms of disease which resemble it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.

" We have delayed so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—
