PROPOSED REFORM ASSOCIATION IN MANCHES-
TER.-At the weekly meeting of the general committee of
the Bright and Gibson soiree, held at Nowall's-buildings,
on Tuesday evening, Dr. John Watts said that they were
told that Mr. Bright was preparing a new Reform Bill, and
he regretted that they had no effective organisation of Re-
formers in Manchester. He suggested that the soiree on
Friday would offer a good opportunity for inaugurating
such a movement. Mr. Councillor Simpson thought the
suggestion a good one, believing if a committee were
formed on Friday Manchester might give an impulse to the
Reform movement, and emerge from the total eclipse that
had come over it during the ast few years. Mr. George
Wils m the chairman, approving the suggestion, Mr.
Simpson proposed that the executive committee should
draw up a resolution to be submitted to the meeting on
Friday, with a view of organising a Reform Association in
Manchester. The motion was seconded and agreed to.

CHARGE TO THE GRAND JURY.

His lordship, in the course of an able and interest-
ing charge to the county grand jury, observed that
observations on the causes of, or the means of pre-
venting crime, were common-place. The theme was
too vast; he was too sensible of his own incompe-
tency to deal with it ; and he had too much respect
for the experience of the grand jury and magistrates
of the county to trouble them with general observa-
tions on the subject; yet there was one matter which
had been brought very seriously to his attention.
He knew of no more common-place observation
than that they must look for a diminution of crime
to the education of the poor ; bat when they came '
to practical details, he knew of no subject on which
there had been more controversy, or in which there
were more unsatisfactory results. But there was
one kind of education which the wisest men had
considered to be the most valuable that any man
could receive, and that was his first and earliest
education received at his mother's knee—when the
domestic hearth was, as it might be, and as many
glans'. His lordship then
the school of virtue
oafndthetmhekntelv
pitleacotfuarlleyli
alluded to the importance of improving the dwell-
ings of the poor, and regretted the fact that in a
number of instances—not only in large cities, but
in the agricultural districts—the mother and
father, and brother and sister herded together in one
room. How could they expect bright influences
to radiate around, when families were thus circum-
stanced ? The learned judge then referred to the
noble efforts made by the Duke of Bedford to im-
prove the dwellings of the poor, and urged upon
private gentlemen to do all they could, in their
respective vicinities, by effecting or encouraging
improvements in the abodes of the poor, as it could
not be expected that Government could do any-
thing in the matter.

UTTERING A FORGED NOTE.

Joseph Smith, a young man, was indicted for
uttering a forged £lO Bank of England note.
Mr. Cole prosecuted.
The:prisoner, since Sunday last, has appeared to
be insane, but the medical gentlemen connected
with the prison stated that it was feigned madness.
The prisoner, being called upon, refused to
speak, and a jury was then empanelled to try
whether he was " mute by the visitation of God,
or by fraud and malice."
The jury found that the latter was the case, and
a plea of not guilty was then entered.
The prisoner still refusing to speak, it was clearly
proved that he had attempted to pass the note to
several tradesmen, and having been found guilty,
he was sentenced to four years' penal servitude.

ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-EASTERN

1?AIL TrrA Y.

Yesterday, shortly after ten o'clock, a fatal acci-
dent occurred at a place called South•street, about
two miles from Whitstable, on the Whitstable
branch of the South-Eastern Railway, to Thomas
Dadds, a breaksman, in the employ of the company ;
and Wm. Webb, a platelayer, fractured his ankle,
and was otherwise hurt and contused. The arrange-
ments on this branch are of a peculiar character, it
being principally used for the conveyance of coal
to 'Canterbury, and hence to other parts of the line.
After leaving Whitstable there are two steep as-
cents, one between the former place and South-
street, and the other (the steepest, being a curve of
a mile with a gradient of 1 in 30) between South-
street and Bogg's-hole. A coal train usually con-.
sists of ten trucks, to which two engines are at-
taclied. It is the practice to ascend the first hill
with the whole of the trucks, but on reaching the
level at South-street the speed of the train is slack-.
ened and the steam shut off, for the purpose of
enabling the breaksman to uncouple a portion of
the coal trucks (generally five). To do this the
man has to stand on the buffers of the truck, hold
on with the left hand, while he stoops down and
lets go the coupling irons with the right. This
done, the disengaged trucks_ run on the line for
some little distance by the force of their own
momentum, while the other portion of the train is
drawn up the ascent and shunted on to a siding at
Bogg's-hole. Here the engines arc reversed, and
they return for trucks left behind at South-street,
which they draw np the incline in like manner,
and when they are attached again to the train at
Bogg's-hole, it proceeds on its way to Canterbury,
a distance of about four miles. It appears that in
the present instance the coal train had reached
South-street, and the unfortunate man Dadds had
uncoupled the trucks and given the signal to the
engine-driver to put on the steam by holding up
his hand, when the guard saw him fall backwards
on the line as if he had lost his balance, or missed
his hold. of the truck, on the buffers of which he
had been standing. The whole of the disengaged
trucks, laden with coal; passed over the poor fellow,
who was subsequently found lying in the four-
footway, apparently in a dying state, his head and
face frighfully lacerated and injured, as well as his
right arm and one of his legs. lie was taken to
the hospital, where he died about half-past six
o'clock in the evening.

CORK AND YOUGHAL,

_J.
. We congratulate all concerned in this line, and all
interested in the acceleration of the communication
between Cork and Youghal, that matters arc now
in a very satisfactory position. The difficulties
were great, but they have been overcome. The
directors have negotiated a loan with parties in
London to enable them to complete this important
undertaking. The two first instalments have been
paid to the company's bankers, and the remainder
is to be paid before the middle of this month. The
directors have also made arrangements with respect-
able contractors to commence the works at once, so

that the completion of the York and Youghal Rail-
way is now no longer a matter of
.speculation.
What we state is not conjectural, but positive, and
the works will soon be in active progress.— Cork

THIS DAYS MARKETS.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Coastwise, a full average supply of English wheat has
come to hand during the week ; but the receipts fresh up
to-day by land carriage were small. Although the show
of samples was limited, the demand for all kinds of wheat
of home produce ruled heavy, but no quotable change took
place in prices. To have forced talek, easier rates must
have been submitted to. Over 18,000 quarters of foreign
wheat have come fresh to hand. The trade was in a most
depressed state, and Monday's currency was nominally
unaltered.

There was a decided increase in the show of barley, and
all kinds were very dull, at barely stationary prices.
The transactions in malt were trifling, at Monday's
quotations.

We were extensively supplied with oats, which moved
off slowly, at a slight decline in value.
Beans, peas, and flour were very dull, at barely the late
depression.

WHOLESALE POST-OFFICE ROBBERIES.

Emma Stoneman, a young girl, was indicted for
stealing money and a quantity of articles from let-
ters, whilst in transit through the Crediton Post-
office.

Mr. Poulden and Mr. Cole prosecuted ; and Mr.
Carter defended the prisoner.
It appeared that the prisoner lived as a domestic
servant in the employ of the Crediton postmaster ;
and was sworn in an assistant in the stamping de-
partment of the office. Money and valuable arti-
cles, enclosed in letters, had been frequently missed
in their transit through the office, and Mr. Moule,
from the General Post-office, was sent down to Cre-
diton to institute inquiries. He caused some money
to be marked, by which the prisoner was detected,
and on searching her bedroom a number of the
missing articles were found. By the advice of her
counsel she pleaded guilty, and was sentenced by
his lordship to three years penal servitude.

NORTHERN CIRCUIT.--LIVERPOOL, Dec. 9,

CROWN SlDE.—(Before Mr. Justice Hill.)

TWO POLICEMEN ROBBING A CHURCH IN LIVERPOOL.
William Smith, aged 24, and Thomas Thwaites,
aged 26, were indicted for sacrilege, they having
ented St. Paul's Church, Prince's-park (the Rev.
Dr. M'Neile's), and stolen therefrom certain articles
of property, belonging to the wardens of that church.
Both the prisoners pleaded guilty.
His lordship, in passing sentence, stated the chief
facts of the case, from which it appeared that Smith
belonged tothe Liverpool police force until 23d Oct.
last, when he was dismissed for bad conduct, he
having been many times previously reported by the
inspector ; the other prisoner was also in the police
force, and was still a member of the force at the
time of the robbery. On 9th Nov. Thwaites went
off duty on the plea of indisposition, and another
officer was sent on to his beat, which included the dis-
trict in which St. Paul's Church is situated. During
the night the officer observed a light in St. Paul's
Church, and reported the circumstance to his in-
spector, who immediately accompanied the man to
the vestry window, through which they saw both
the prisoners open a wardrobe and an iron safe, in
such an ingenious manner as to convince the inspec-
tor that they were no novices in that kind of work.
The men were at once arrested ; and his lordship,
after animadverting on the wicked conduct of men,
to whose vigilance and honesty the lives and pro-
perty of the public were committed for protection,
acting as the prisoners by their own confession had
acted, sentenced them each to four years' penal
servitude.

PARIS, THURSDAY.
A council of Ministers, at which the Emperor
presided, was held yesterday at the Tuileries.
The Emperor received yesterday the replies of
the Senate of the free city of Frankfort to the
letters recalling Count de Montessuy and accre-
diting Count de Salignac-Fenelon as his successor.
The 21st inst. is the day appointed for hearing
M. Montalembert's appeal. The President of the
Court will be M. Perot des Chezelles ; the _Rappor-
teur, , M. Treilhard, of the Cour Imperial ; and M.
Chain d'Est Ange will act as Procureur. There
are several versions afloat; the one which seems
most credited is that the Emperor's pardon will be
pleaded in answer to the appeal, but nothing is said
as regards the law of the 14th of February last.
The Commissioners appointed by the Emperor to
make a report on the snbject of the engagement of
free negroes in the French Colonies have declared
in favour of the system of immigration as at pre-
sent conducted.

The Moniteur publishes a decree promulgating
the convention of extradition concluded between
France and the Grand Duchy of Saxe Weimar.
" It may be remembered," says the Union," that
three years ago Soulouque suddenly invaded the
territory of the Dominican Republic. He was
beaten, and a short time after an armistiee was
concluded between him and Santana, under the
guarantee of France and England. That armistice
expires on the 15th February next, and Soulouque
has already announced it to the Government of
San Domingo. War is, therefore, considered, pro-
bable, and Santana is said to be very actively
preparing for it."

BOURSE, Dec. 9.—A momentary check was given
at the opening to the upward tendency of the
Rente by several heavy sales, but an improvement
afterwards set in with renewed rapidity. The
project of the new Imperial Bank is considered as
having no chance of being authorised. Threes,
after having been done at 73f. 30c. and 73f. 25c.,
rallied to 73f. 50c. ; Mobilier varied from 990 f. to
I,olof. ; Austrian, 652 f. 50c. to 655 f. ; Orleans,
1,402 f. 50c. to 1,407 f. 50c. ; Lyons, 885 f. to 890 f. ;
and Southern, 590 f. to 592 f. 50c. The following

Mr. J. LocKE, M.P., as maste
Company, acknowledged the latte 4,
so in virtue of an old award by whieV.
Company and the Company of Mere iatt `ll4llrs S
took precedence of each other in alternate years.
Both these companies were established in the reign
of Edward lll,,and for along periodw ere at deadly
feud on the point of precedence, their processions
never meeting in the streets of the city without a
fight. In the reign of Richard 111. one of these con-
flicts was so violent that several persons were killed
on both sides ; in consequence of this event the point
at issue was decided by the Lord Mayor of the-time,
who made an award by which the two companies were
given precedence of each other alternately, and this
old regulation is still observed; according to it Mr.
Locke spoke to the to::, , though the representa-
tive of the Merchant Tailors' Company was present.
Mr. Locke also stated that the Prime Warden of
the Fishmongers' Company then presiding was the
lineal descendant of the Lord Mayor Boddington,
who so long ago made the peace-preserving decision.
The Company, after drinking " The Health of
the Visitors," separated. During the evening a selec-
tion of vocal music was performed by the Orpheus
Glee Union, under the direction of Mr. IV. Dorrall.
The dinner, every way worthy of the hospitable
board of the Worshipful Company, was served by
Messrs. Ring and Brymer. Mr. Harker, in fullest
voice, officiated as toastmaster.

THE NAVY.

Yesterday, at 8.30 a.m., the Royal Swedish cor-
vette, of 18 guns (24-pounders), Naijaden, Captain
Warberg, last from Christiansand, bound for the
West Indies, arrived at Sheerness. She is the ex-
ercising ship for the young gentlemen cadets for
the Royal Swedish navy. On her arrival she
saluted the fort with 21 guns, which was returned
by the garrison. Shethen saluted the Port Admiral
with 14 guns, which was returned by the flagship
Waterloo. The Naijaden, on Tuesday, between 5
and 6 p.m., during very thick weather, struck
several times on the south end of the Galloper
Sand, by which part of her keel was carried away,
and other damage done. Capt. Warberg waited
upon the Commander-in-Chief on landing at the
Admiralty-house, and shortly after was, with his
commander or sailing-master, conducted into the
dockyard by Flag-Lieutenant Robert E. Douglas,
for the purpose of ascertaining whether accommo-
dation could be afforded to take her into dry dock
for the purpose of making good the damages she
has sustained.

The Jackal, 4, iron paddlewheel steamvessel,
Lieut. Commander Chas. T. W. G. Cerjat, arrived
at the Little Nore at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, from
the coast of Scotland, where she has been protect-
ing the fisheries. She was inspected yesterday by
Capt. E. P. Halsted of the Cressy. The crew were
put through all their evolutions, including target
practice. After which orders were given for her
coming into harbour to strip ship preparatory to
her being paid off here.
Her Majesty's receiving-ship Fisgard, bearing
the flag of Commodore Shepherd, Superintendent of
Woolwich dockyard, was yesterday released from
her moorings, and dropped down the river along-
side the Messenger, floating coal depot, to clear the
way for the Edgar to be launched to-morrow. The
stages and lobbies under the building-shed, capable
of containing several thousands, are appropriated
to two bands of music and the accommodation of
the public. The public will be admitted at one,
and it is expected the ship will be in the water
before two.

rpHORLEY'S FOOD FOR CATTLE.—
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 puizled 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 gel-10cm= wrote, stating that he had a horse which was a
" perfect bag of bones." He tried all kinds of things to get
the animal into condition, but in vain. He then bought some
of Thorley's food; and he says the effect was wanderful. The
horse rapidly grew fat, and in the course of a few weeks had
gained no less than 12 stones. Again we find at the late agri-
cultural shows at Birmingham, Cardiff, &c., the animals which
carried off the highest prizes had been partly fed with Thor-
ley's food for cattle. Such facts speak for themselves, and we
ire forced to the conclusion that its celebrity arises solely
from its own intrinsic 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, London, for a
pamphlet which is sent post-free.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 17th contain little
news. A royal decree accepts the resignation,
from ill-health, of General Cordova as member of
the consulting junta of war. The Progressist
electols of Madrid had begun to choose their can-
didates in the respective districts. M. Olozaga is
one of them, and some intention was entertained of
making Marshal Espartero another. The Espana
had been again seized. A small Carlist band of
three or four men, headed by a noted chief named
Bordes, had appeared in the neighbourhood of
Angles, near Girona ; a detachment of the civil
guard overtook and fired a volley at it, but none of
the insurgents were hit, and all escaped.
