John Edwards, ap omnibus driver, was placed ak
the bar before Mr. Long. on the charge of having
caused the death of a little girl, named Jane Abbott,
aged six years.
Mr. James Seymour, 4, Richmond-street, South-
wark, deposed that on the previous afternoon, at four
o'clock, he was passing along Carlisle-street, Port-
man-market, when, just as an omnibus, driven by the
prisoner, had turned the corner of the street, the
child ran off the pavement directly under the horses'
legs ; she was knocked down, and the two near wheels
of the vehicle went over her head, thereby depriving
her almost instantaneously of life.
Mr. LONG—At what rate was the prisoner going ?
Witness—At a very moderate rate, Sir ; and it was
quite impossible for him to have prevented the la-
mentable occurrence, as there was no time for him.to
pill up. Witness was quite satisfied that the death
was entirely accidental, and that no blame whatever
was attributable to the prisoner.
Another witness, named Page, corroborated the
above evidence. He lifted the little girl from the
road, and conveyed her to the house of a surgeon, but
before he arrived there she was dead.
Mr. Lcaaa felt satisfied, from all he had heard, that
the death was purely accidental ; but as an inquest
must be held upon the body of the deceased, it was
his duty to require security for his (prisoner's) being
forthcoming on a future day. He was bailed, himself
in 50/., and his employer in the like amount, for his
re-appearance at the court on Friday next.
LAMBETH.
Mr. Nottage, the proprietor of several cabs, was
summoned to produce the driver of the cab No. 1,439,
to answer a charge of furious driving and endanger-
ing the lives of several of her Majesty's subjects, and
accordingly produced John Allen, badge 393.
Samuel Capping, 97 P, deposed that on the 4th
inst., at about half past nine o'cloCk, he was on duty
at the Surrey Gardens, and observed a cabman drive
out of the rank, and proceed along Penton-place at so
furious a rate as to endanger the lives of several per-
sons who were leaving the gardens. Witness followed
him, and overtaking him in Newington .crescent, took
down the number both of his cab and his badge.
The defendant declared he knew nothing whatever
of the circumstance related by the constable, and that
he had not been to the Surrey Gardens, or near them,
on the evening in question, and that at the time
spoken of his cab was on the rank in King-street,
Cheapside.
Capping admitted that Allen was not the person in
charge of the cab at the time, but a different man,
and that the number of his badge was 7,703, while
that of Allen was 393.
Mr. Nottage said that Allen had been in his em-
ployment for fourteen years, and was an exceedingly
steady and well-conducted man, and he was perfectly •
certain the officer must have made some mistake in 1
taking down the number.
Capping repeated that he had been most careful in
taking down the number, and could make no mistake
i.
about it, as the cab was standing still at the time.
Mr.ELLion. remarked that the circumstance would I
appear inexplicable to him if he had not heard of the I
practice recently adopted amongst the cabmen of
changing their numbers. In this case, however, it
was fortunate the constable had taken the number of
the driver's badge as well as that of the cab, and he
hoped that the matter would be followed up, and
strictly investigated. 'With this view he should ad
journ the summons for a week, but feeling satisfied
that the present defendant was not the aggressor he
should not trouble him to attend again.

The prosecutor, who is a Scotchman, and who de-
scribed hi'inself as a commission-agent, and as having
formerly been a superintendent upon the Eastern
Counties Railway, deposed that on the night of the
20th of August, about eleven o'clock, he was in
.Whitechlvd on his way home, when he met the
prisoner M'Carthy, who accosted him, and asked him
to treat her. He told her he had no objection to do
so, but he would not go to a public-house, and she
then said she would take him somewhere else, and he
accompanied her to a coffee-shop in Somerset-street,
Aldgate, and she took him up stairs into a bed-room
and shut the door. She then put her hand into his
waistcoat pocket and took out five sovereigns and
some silver. He gave an alarm, and the other
prisoner and several other persons came up
stairs and into the room, and. Hales went close to
him and put her arm round his neck and
over his face, and in an instant he became insen-
sible, and did not recover his recollection until
the following morning between six and seven o'clock,
when he found himself lying in a place called Lady
Lake's-grove, about a mile from the coffee-house
where the robbery was committed: The prosecutor
added that he disguised himself, and walked about the
neighbourhood for several evenings in the expectation
of meeting with the prisoners, but failed to do so ;
and at length he was taken to the coffee•shop by a
policeman, and he there saw both the prisoners,
and recognised them as the parties who committed
the robbery.
Mr. PARRY cross-examined the prosecutor with
considerable severity, and elicited from him that he
was a married man, and that at the time this occur-
rence took place his wife was lying dangerously ill
at home, in the charge of a nurse. He also said that
he did not know that 111`Carthy was a street-walker
at the time she accosted him, although, of course, he
said be did not believe she was a virtuous woman,
and he declared-that his only object in accompanying
her to the coffee-house was to give her some refresh-
ment, which he considered she stood in need of in her
unfortunate position, and that he had no improper in-
tention. He likewise said that upon one occasion
he had been charged before a magistrate with being

ion :

That, in their opinion, the Leeds and Thirsk R
way possesses within its reach a local traffic—more espe-
cially in minerals, merohandize, and iaanure—consid-r-
-ably beyond what is now realirid, and which they think
ought by this time to have been more extensively deve-
taped than it now is."
(Hear, hear, and applause.) The committee were
fully convinced that the line might be made far more
productive than it is now if there was an effective
traffic management, either by a more efficient staff, or
by the appointment of a committee for traffic manage-
nient.—(ilear, hear.) He would now read them the
second resolution they had placed before the board of
directors :
That, from the examinations and inquiries made, the
traffic management up to the present time appears to
have been inefficient, and has not secured to the line the
full advantages which belong to it."
He did not think it advisable to lay all the evidence
they had collected before the proprietary ; he thought
it would suffice if they apprised the board of it—
(Hear, hear)—and left the board to take those steps
which were found really to the advantages of the
shareholders generally.—(Applause.) The commit-
tee thought the management wholly inefficient, and
he would give them an illustration of the effect of
this inefficiency :—The committee found that nearly
the whole system of conveyance from town to town
along the line still existed. Then they found that
this line was charging such a freight and offering so
little advantages, that between Leeds and Ripon, a
line of 58 miles was actually competing with the
Leeds and Thirsk, the distance by which was only
29 miles.—(Hear, hear) There must be something
wrong for such a state of things to exist.—(Hear,
hear.) Then the Rothwell Heigh coal was carted
instead of conveyed on this line; and lime was pur-
chased and conveyed from Knaresborough instead of
being obtained from the works on this line. Such a
state of things could not exist under a proper system
of management.—(Hear.)
The CHAIRMAN thought the Committee should give
their report in writing, in order that those who had
the management of the line might have the opportu-
nity of giving their answer to the allegations made
against them.—(Applause.)
Another long discusion ensued, in which Mr. R.
Jowitt, Mr. Farsyde, Mr. Stables, the Chairman, Mr.
Durham, and Mr. Newsam took part, the last com-
plaining that in important negotiation with other
companies the care and responsibility of making vital
arrangements had been left to Mr. Tennant and Mr.
Nash, instead of some of the directors lending their
influence. That he spoke the sentiments of the com-
mittee was, he said, proved by the following resolu-
tion which they had unanimously passed :
" That considerable pains have been taken by the
traffic managers to secure traffic arrangements with the
Yolk, Newcastle, and Berwick, the Midland, and, the
London and Noxell- Western Railway companies, and
also to some extent with the Lancashire and Yorkshire
and Great Northern Railway companies; but they think
it probable that had the directors more generally g 3.•
sisted personally in their important negotiations, results
might in some instances have been obtained
naore'favour-
ablo to the Leeds and Thirsk Railway.
The CHAIRMAN said he would press as a motion
that the committee should put into writing what they
had to say upon the subject, in order that it might be
printed and circulated among the shareholders, so that
the directors might put into the same form what they
or their officers had to say in reply.—(l.lear.)
Mr. FARS YDE seconded it.
Mr. Poween and other members of the committee
objected to this, as it would place them in a position
hostile to the board.
Mr. Teereeer,,traffic manager, in reference to what
had fallen from Mr. Newsam as to the state of the
freights and traffic arrangements enabling rivals to
convey goods a distance of 50 miles, in opposition to
the Leeds and Thirsk, the distance by which was

HEALTH of LONDON DURING the WEEK.
(From the R:gistrar-General's Return.)
The deaths registered in the metropolitan districts
in the week ending last Saturday were 929. Exclud-
ing last year, in which the rate of mortality was ex-
cessive from a violent epidemic, the deaths at present
do not differ much from the average of the correspond-
ing weeks in previous years. Last week there were
7 fatal cases of small -pox, one of which occurred to a
woman who had turned 25 years ; of measles there
were 15 ; of scarlatina 33 ; of hooping-cough 20; and
of croup 7. None of these complaints seem to pre-
vail to an unusual extent at the present time. But
typhus numbers 47 persons as its victims, and this
disease now exhibits a slight increase. The registrar
of Horton Old Town observes that it has increased
considerably in his district during the .last month.
The deaths from diarrhoea diminish as is usual in this
month, and last week they numbered 78. There
were only 4 deaths from cholera, two of these hap-
pened to young persons, and two to men of somewhat
advanced life. Toe following are the cases in detail :
In Camden-tawn, at 7, Hertford-place, on the 13th
of September, thedaughter of a smith, aged 4 years.
" English colera (24 hours), convulsions (4 hours)."
Mr. Holl, the registrar, adds that " the neighbourhood
is crowded and dirty, and the stench from butchers'
stables in Skinner's-place, close adjoining is much
complained of. Last year a mother and child died of
malignant cholera in Hertford-place. Nuisances
which were checked last year by the appointment of
an inspector are again appearing." In Holloway,'at
4, Palmer-mews, on 7th September, a girl aged 11
weeks, "cholera infantum (24 hours), diarrncea (2
days." " She was brought up by hand, and fed on
rice milk for the last 6 weeks, the mother having gone
out as wet-nurse." In St. Olave's, at 17, Webb-
street, on the 12th September, a man, formerly a
journeyman shipwright,
aged 65 years, died of "cho-
leraic diarrhoea (3. days)." "He was of weak health,
and had severe rupture." At 5, Newington,cause-
way, on 7th September, a bat-dyer, aged 58 years,
" cholera (29 hours), inflammation of the bowels."

The counsel for the prisoners commented in strong
• terms upon the conduct of the prosecutor, and urged
that it was clear he had told a palpable falsehood in
asserting that he had gone to the coffee-house with
the prisoner APCarthy solely for the purpose of giv-
ing her some refreshment, and they said that this
being the case the jury ought not to give credit to
any portion of his testimony. They also remarked
upon the frequency of these cases of robberies alleged
to have been committed by the influence of chloro-
form, or some other agent of a similar description, at
the present time, and it was urged upon the jury as
being very probable that married men, and p-rsons
in the position of the prosecutor, who found
themselves in the predicament of accom-
panying a prostitute to a place of this de-
scription, would be very glad to excuse them-
selves to their wives, or other persons, by trumping up
story about chloroform. The Learned Counsel also
remarked upon the circumstance of the prozeecu•or
being discovered at such a distance from the place
where the robbery was alleged to have been corn-
rnitttd, and the extreme improbability of his having
been drigged through the streets by two women in a
state of insensibility, without the circumstance at-
traeting the attention of the police ; while, on the
other hand, if he was drunk and unconscious of what
he was about, which trey suggested was most likely
• the truth of the matter, nothing was m )re likely than
that he should have staggered to the pace in question
and have there fallen insensible.
The jury, after deliberating a short time, returned
n verdict of Not Guilty.

REDUCTION OF RAILWAY CHARGES.—The reduc-
tion of charges, judiciously carried out, and the extension of
the cheap excursion system, appear to be yielding a rich
harvest, on various lines, that must help to redeem them
from recent adversity. An announcement by the Great
Western, of a cheap excursion from Paddington to Bath
and Bristol, at fares assuredly low enough to stagger all but
those full of faith in the productiveness of such temptations
to travel,—namely, 5s to and from Bath, and 6s. to and from
Bristol, —was recently responded to in such a way that,
according to a contemporary, " the two trains produced
about 90(11., of which upwards of 800/ mutt he clear profit to
the company." Again, "The excursion-train from Oxford
on Monday," says another contemporary, " brought up to
-Paddington 3,200 persons. The train yielded about 650/.,
and the expenses were, perhaps, 301." A recent Sanday trip
to Brighton and back for 3i. Gd. (!), tempted 2,`,;20 persons
to benefit both their own health and the railway treasury by
acceptance of the offer. A reduction of fares for a trip front
Sheffield to Rotherham on Sundays, down to half price, lately
increased the usual train of four carriages so greatly, ttric
"a train of sixteen carriages was wholly inadequate Tor the
immense number of passengers, and it was f. nod necessary
to put on an extra train of seventeen carriages." The coin%
panies must now begin to see the advantage of a liberal
policy in dealing with the public, especially during the
seasons favourable to such excursions.—Builder.

MONEY MARKET—The premium on gold at Paris
is 7i par mine, which, at the English Mint price of
3/. 17s. l 0 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex-
change of 25.34; and the exchange at Paris on London
at short being 25.34 it follows that gold is 0.06 per
cent. dearer in Paris than in London. By advicea from
liambergh the Price of gold is 4331 per murk, which,
at the English Mint price of 31. 17e. lOid. per ounce for
standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.94; and the ex-
change at liumburgh on London at short being 13.84,
it follows that gold is 0.46 per cent. dearer in Ilam-
burgh than in London. Tl,e course of exchange at
New York on_Londun for bills at 60 days' sight is 1101
per cent., and the par of exchange between England and
America being 109 23.40 per cent., it folloNs that thy
exchange is nominally 0.67 per cent. in favour of Eng-
land, and after making allowance for difference of
interest and charges of transport, the present rate
leaves a profit on the importation of
gold from the

WORSHIP-STREET.
A robust fellow named Joseph Saunders was charged
with having burglariously broken into the dwelling
house of a gentleman named Chapman, residing in
Victoria-place, Haggerstone.
The prosecutor stated that at ten o'clock on the
preceding night, after carefully securing the lower
part of the house, he retired to rest with his family,
and shortly after three that morning he was awakened
by his wife, who informed him that she felt satisfied
there were thieves in the house, as she had just heard
the sound of footsteps in the passage. Witness in-
stantly hastened down stairs, and upon entering the
back kitchen, in which he had previously heard a sort
of rumbling noise, he observed the window open, and

name of the President of the Republic, a magnificent
gold-hilted sword in return for the presents he had
• received. This present produced a great effect on the
Ambassador. He expressed his gratitude in the warm-
est manner, the more so as he perceived the
name of Napoleon engraven on the hilt. He placed
the sword en his heart, put his hand to his brow in
sign of thanks and gratitude, and declared he would
suspend the costly weapon to the belt of gold, adorned
with pearls and diamonds, to which his own Sword of
State is attached.
A grand review will take place in the Champ de
