from the captain to ease the steamer, to stop her, ane
turn her astern. He immediately stopped her with
easing her, and then turned her astern. Although hi
could get the engine to back in about eight seconds, the
boat would go three times her length on a flood tide be-
fore she would come back. The orders were given ee
quickly as possible, and as quickly obeyed.
The Foreman of the Jury inquired how far the beta,
would go with the flood tide, if the engines were atoppeol
and not put astern ?—(A laugh.)
The witness, with great simplicity, answered=—Whir
she would go a long way, Sir ; she would go to 1 atte'
sea.—(Laughter.)
The jury, after four hours' discussion, returned a Tor
diet of—" Manslaughter against Samuel Sims, the maseer
of the Waterman steamer No. 6, for killing and slayini
Edward Everest."

The verdict was received with very great surprise bf
the people in the room, which was crowded to excess.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.
We regard the work before us,'' The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a loss to know.
We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has left such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer.
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in its pages."
—Age and Argus.
"The Authors of ' The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly
conversant with the treatmeot of a class of complaints which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to
those who are apprehensive of entering. the marriage state, cannot
fail to recommend it to a careful perusal. —Era.

Yesterday the half-yearly court of that old-esta-
blished institution, the British Lying-in Hospital for
Ararried Women, in Brownlow-street, Long-acre, was
held, at which Mr. Edward Ward presided, Doctors H.
Davies and Lee and other governors being present ;
when it appeared that the relief afforded to the class of
poor married women usually seeking the aid of the
charity had been of the most effective kind, both as to in
and out-door patients, and that the only regret to be en-
tertained was that neither the subscribers in point of
number, nor the funds of the institution in point of
amount, had permitted the admission to the full extent of
that respectable but por class of women invariably seek-
ing its valuable assistance. It was, however, pleasing
to those taking an interest in the charity to contemplate
that by the improvements commenced and in progress in
its immediate neighbourhood under the Acts for Metro-
politan Improvements, the buildings of the institution
(its own freehold property) will soon become so advan-
tageously situate as to warrant the anticipation of a great
imam in ita patronage.

WOOL MARKET.

The public sales of Wool have at length been brought
to a close. Notwithstanding the large quantities brought
forward, nearly the whole have found buyers, at prices
quite equal to those obtained at the previous auctions.
By private contract we have still to report a fair inquiry
at full quotations. During the week the imports have
amounted to about 2,600 packages.

of the omnibus No. 2,043, for refusing, on the 28th
ult., to pay one shilling, the lawful fare, for riding
with the complainant's omnibus from Knightsbridge
to Black-lion-lane, Hammersmith.
The refusal of the defendant to pay the fare de-
manded (one shilling) having been proved, the de-
fendant said he did not deny having refused to pay
one shilling as the fare fur the short distance he had
ridden in the omnibus. He had done so on public
grounds, with a view to have the point settled as to
what was the legal fare, and whether the conductors
or drivers of omnibuses are empowered to charge
what they please. He and several of his friends had
suffered so much from such impositions that he was
determined to have the point settled.
Mr. CLIVE said, by the Act of Parliament under
which Mr. Armstrong had been summoned, it was
envted, section 7, that the proprietor of every me-
tropolitan stage carriage "shall, on the inside of every
such carriage, keep distinctly painted, in a conspicuous
manner, a table of fares to be demanded of passengers
in such carriage, and the fares therein specified shall
be deemed to be the only lawful fares, and may be
recovered by the driver or conductor, as in the case
of hackney carriages, in a summary way, before any
justice of the peace; and every proprietor making
default in the premises, shall forfeit the sum of 20s.
for every offence." By the 33d section, also, "every
driver or conductor who shall demand more than the
legal fare from any passenger, or who shall refuse to
admit and carry at the lawful fare any passenger for
whom there is room, and to whose admission no rea-
sonable objection is made," is liable to a similar pe-
nalty. His (Mr. Clive's) opinion, therefore, was that
the proprietor of every metropolitan stage carriage
has the right of putting up whatever table of fares
he pleased, and of recovering those fares by summons.
If he chose to put up "Fares—Sundays, 55.; Mon-
days, ].s. 6d.; Tuesdays, half-a-crown," and so on for
each day, he could do so, and could recover such fares,
the public not being required to ride in an omnibus
so priced unless they chose.
Proof was then gone into that in the omnibus in
question the fares were stated as follows :—" Fares,
Is.; four miles, 6d.; Sundays, ls."
The defendant was then adjudged to pay the fare,
with costs.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP OF THE THAMES.

THE SILVER, SCULLS.
The great contest for the championship of the Thames
,00k place on Saturday, the result of which we hasten to
communicate to our sporting readers. It is unnecessary
for us to enter into any lengthened exordium on the sub-
ject of this great race, as those to whom it will be of any
interest must be acquainted with the fact of their having
been given for competition among gentlemen scullers.
The race was expected to be something approaching
to first-rate, from the well-known prowess of the two
gentlemen engaged in it. Mr. Chapman, who held this
honorary distinction in 1839, 1842, and 1843, had in the
contest of each year exhibited such extraordinary
power and pluck as a sculler, that it required a rare
good man to dispossess him. Mr. Bumpstead, of the
Leander, the winner of the challengers' trial heat last
Monday, as his opponent on the present occasion, was a
person of no mean skill or ordinary game, as was evinced
by the fact of his having defeated all the best scullers
of the day, save Chapman, who was not a competitor, at
the Great Thames Regatta and at Henley. A good
race was, therefore, reckoned upon; but unfortunately it
was at such a time in the day as prevented many who
would willingly have subjected themselves to a trifling
nconvenience from witnessing it.
Mr. Bishop officiated in lieu of Mr. Lewis, as
umpire ; and about half-past ten was rowed by a
crew of picked watermen to the starting place, followed
by the Leander, the Royal Academy, and other crack
clubs, and a considerable number of other gentlemen,
in boats of different denominations. Mr. Chapman won
the choice of station, and took the outside place, we
presume from a feeling that there was more tide to be
found there.
The start was taken very evenly, and, after a few
strokes, Mr. Bumpstead gradually drew in advance, the
labour on the part of either gentlemen being beautiful.
Mr. Chapman, as they neared Lucas's-road, which they
passed outside of, made a plucky spurt to overhaul his
opponent, but the other putting the steam on at the same
moment no change took place. Mr. Bumpstead off the
Horseferry just contrived to draw his stern clear of his
opponent's head, and in rounding the point off the Peni-
tentiary, went further in advance. On entering the next
reach Chapman again made a powerful spurt, and the
other following his example, they went by the lead works
at a rattling speed, but Bumpstead having a clear lead
of about four lengths. At Battersea, at Wandsworth,
and, indeed, to the very goal of victory, Chapman rowed

On Tuesday. the King of the French, attended by Generals
Aymar and Friand, and MM. Fontaine and De Cailleux,
went to St. Cloud, at three o'clock, and returned to Neuilly
to dinner. In the evening their Majesties received Baron
Basquier, Count Roy, the Bishop of Nancy, M. Martineau
Deschesnez, and MM. Pascalis and Gravier, Deputies.
The Minister of Marine, who had been indisposed for the
last ten days, was so far recovered as to be able to take car-
riage exercise.
The Moniteur publishes the two bills; fixing the Budgets of
Expenses and Receips for 1845, as lately adopted by the
Chambers. It also convokes the Councils-General of the
departments for the 26th, with the exception of that of the
Seine, which is fixed for November 2.
The Moniteur announces that, in conformity with the law
of July 26, the Minister of Public Works will, on October 5,
publicly adjudicate on tenders for laying down the rails on the
lines from Orleans to Bourdeaux, and from Orleans to Vierzon,
and for the working of these two lines.
A general meeting of Spanish bondholders was held on
Wednesday, at the Bourse, M. Mauguin in the chair. Five
of the number, M. Dillon, Deputy of the Ariege, M. Roil*
of the Var, M. Mauguin, Deputy of the Cote d'Or, M.
Queynet and M. Sarrans, jun., were chosen to form a Com-
mittee, and M. Mauguin was charged to represent and defend
at Madrid the interests of the French creditors.

A Constantinople letter of the 17th ult., in the Universal
German Gazette, states that accounts had been received from
Jerusalem, mentioning that disorders had occurred there, but
were repressed by the energetic measures of the Pacha. Blood
was said to have been shed, but no particulars are given.

Letters have been roceived from Cadiz of the aOth. The
Prince de Joinville was still there. It was said that the
Moors had set fire to the town of Tangiers, but the news was
not believed.

The Presse contains a letter from Papaiti, of March 26,
brought from the island by the Reunion whaler. It con-
firms the accounts already given of the hostile feeling of
the natives towards the French troops, and gives some-
what fuller accounts of the skirmishes which had taken
place. The English missionaries on the island are repre-
sented as endeavouring to calm down the effervescence exist-
ing amongst the natives, but the latter had refused to listen
to them, declaring that, for the future, they would not allow
either them or the French to interfere in their affairs, and
that they abjured the Christian faith. The position of the
French troops is declared to be exceedingly harassing, as
they are employed during the day in erecting defensive
works, and are obliged to sleeep under arms at night. The
French naval force at Otaheite is stated to be the Uranie and
Charte frigates, the Embuscade and Meurthe corvettes, the
Phaeton steamer, and two war-schooners.

The accounts from all quarters, except those from
East Kent, continue unfavourable. The late gales,
together with the appearance of moulds have much
deteriorated the bine, owing to which the duty has fallen
—it being now estimated at only from 130,0001. to
