cheques, one for 351. and the other for 371.. had been
sent to Mr. Thwaites by some unknown party, who pre-
tended that his boy had picked them up.
The solicitor for the prosecution asked for a further
remand,, as some vary materiel intelligence had be,n
forwarded to him inculpating two other person,. The
request being granted he then silted Mr. Henry if his
chant could have the two cheques at this stsge of the
proceedings, Ns li,, vii6hcd to turn them into money.
Mr. HENRY remarked that he saw no difficulty in the
officer giving up possession of the cheques; but that at
the trial the banker's clerk would have to prove the pay-
ment of the same.

The cheques were given over to the prosecutor.

CHARGE OF FELONY AGAINST A MERCHANT.—MF.
Marks Rothschild, f Scarbery -street, Whitechapel, mer-
chant, was plAced at the bar for final examination,
charged with feloniously stealing eight watches and two
diamond rings, of the value of 551., the prop,rty of Mr.
Joseph Ssmuell, a jeweller, in City-terrace, City-road.

Mr. Cockle, the -barrister, conducted the prosecution,
and Mr. Clarkson, instructed by Mr. Sidney, appeared
for the d;fence.
The evidence detailed at the former examination, and
which has already been inserted in this paper, was now
read over by M^. Vine, the chief clerk, and
Hr. Wiliam Green, residing in Fountain 'place, City-
road. stat,:d that the prisoner had tenanted a house be-
longing to his father in Finsbury-place from the month
of April last up to the 25th of June, when he suddenly
vacated the premises and removed the while of his
goods at eight o'clock in the morning without paying any
rent, and that he had neither received any subsequent
communication from him nor obtained any tidings re-
specting him, until his attention was drawn to the pub-
lished report of his examination at this court.
Mr. Clarkson, afer severely cross examining the se-
veral witnesses, addressed the sigistrate on his behalf,
stating that his defence ri;taupon a total denial of the
facts alleged against him, which, he was instructed to
declare ,were without the slightest foundation; but ex-
pressed his hope, if it was the magistrate's intention to
commit the prisoner for trial upon the charge, that the
same amount of bail would be accepted as had been re-
ceived at the former hearing.
Mr. HAMMILL said that it was certainly his intention
to commit the prisoner for trial, as it was clearly a case
for the consideration of a jury, but had no objection to
the proposed extension of the bail fur the prisoner's ape
pearance at the scabious.
Mr. Clarkson then said that as it was most essential
for the interests of the defendant that proper facilities
should be furnished for a close inspection of the agree-
ment upon which the goods were alleged to have been
obtained, in order that the signature which was alto-
gether disputed, mieht be examined by those who were
acquainted with the handwriting of his client, he had to
request that it might be left in the hands of the chief
clerk for a reasonable period, that adequate opportunities
might be furnished for that purpose.
Mr. Cockle expressed his assent to this: arrangement,
and the prisoner, -who by the advice of his counsel, re-
served his defence, was fully committed for trial upon
the completion of the depositions, but in the interim
liberated upon the bail before put in—himself in recog-
nisances to the amount of 2001., and two sureties in
1001. each.

LONDON AND BLACKWALL
RAILWAY.

The usual half-yearly meeting of this company
took place yesterday at the London Tavern, for the
purpose of receiving the report of the directors and to
transact the other business of the company usual at
the half-yearly meeting.
James Nugent Daniel, Esq., the Chairman of the
company, toJk the chair at twelve o'clock.
Tne usual formal proceedings having been gone
through, the following report, having been printed
and circulated amongst the proprietors, the meeting
did not consider it necessary to read it :
" The statement of the revenue account for the past
half-year shows that the gross receipts, with the balance
of 337/. 133. 4d. from the previous account, amount to
21,606/. 45., and that the expenditure. inclusive of it.t,r-
-04 on debentures, has been 18,7351. 145., the Wane('
being 2,8701. 103., which is left at the dispusal of the
proprietors.

- "The comparative passenger traffic, during the corre-
sponding months of this and last year, is as follows, vir.:
1849. 1850.
Passengers. Amount. Passengers. Amount.

" Upon an analysis of this traffic, it is found that
the,-e has been an increase, during the past half-year, if
355,750 paisengers. and 2,9681. in the local traffic, and
a decrease of 52.043 passengers, and 1,379/. in the river
•raffic—the total increase being 303,707 passengers, and

1,5894
"From the increase in the local traffic, the directors
are disposed to think that the system of day tickets, at a
reduced fare, for the double journey, which was intro-
duced throughout the line at the close of last year, has
had a beneficial effect. The directors have strongly ad-
vised the Gravesend and Woolwich Steam-boat Com-
panies to adopt a similar system, in the belief that it
would have proved more advantageous than a reduction
of the fare for the single journey. The directors are,
however, happy to observe that for the past few weeks
there has been an increase both in numbers and receipts,
in the river, as well as iu the local traffic, compared with
this time last year.
" The receipts from wharfage are less than they have
hitherto been, which is attributable partly to the falling-
off in the river traffic, and to the reduction in the wharf-

age dues, which the directors have deemed it prudent to

make, to encourage passenger traffic to the railway. The
increased number of whams privileged t ) land cattle, and
the withdrawal of the General Steam Navigation Com-
pany's boats, have likewise affected this source of re-
venue, notwithstanding the conveniences which the
Brunswick Wharf affords.

"As regards the expenditure, the directors have to
observe that the locomotive charges are somewhat wore
than during the previous half-year, as the mileage of
the trains has been increased; they also include the
wages of the drivers, for two additional engines. The
following shows the comparative consumption and cost
of coke, and the charge for locomotive power per mile
run, during each period:—
" July to December, 1849, number of miles run by
trains, 108.224; quantity of coke consumed, 1,112 ton.;
being 23,0151bs per mile. Total cost, 1,3501. 12s. 7d.;
cost, per mile, 2.995 d.; total locomotive charges, 3,6571.
18s. 11d.; cost per mile, B.llld.
" January to June, 1850, number of miles run by
trains, 134,457; quantity of coke consumed, 1,228 tons;
being 20,4571b5. per mile. Total cost, 1,6061. 15s. 9d.;
cost per mile, 2.868 d.; total locomotive charges, 4,383/.
ls. 3d.; cost per mile, 7.832 d.
"The only other portion of the revenue account which
seems to require notice, is the miscellaneous charges.
These expenses were increased by the sum of 7971. for
compensation for injuries sustained in consequence of the
accident which occurred on the 7th of November last.
Some of these claims were, as usual, exorbitant, and the
directors gave them their beat attention, and were enabled
in several instances to effect very considerable reductions
iu them.

" The Bill introduced in the present session of Par-
, fitment, for the purpose of enabling this company to
offer facilities to passengers on the Eastern Counties
' Railways to avail themselves of the City terminus of the
railway, received the Royal assent on the 25th of June.
By the provisions of this Act the Eastern Counties
Railway Company are required (within three months
ef.er notice by the company) to come,' by all their
trains, except express or mail trains, the carriages and
passengers of this company between the Bow
Junction and Brentwood, or intermediate stations. And
it is also provided that the fares payable by passengers
using the Eastern Counties Railways from or to the
junction, shall not exceed the mileage rate charged be-
tween :ihoreditch and the station on the Eastern
Counties Railways, to or from which the passengers may
be conveyed. The notice required by the Act has not
yet been given, in consequence of negotiations now in
progress for a more extensive and friendly interchange
of trrilic.
The directors have been informed that the East and
West India Docks and Birminglissea Junction Railway
Company have obtained the requisite certificate from
the Commissioners of Railways tor the opening of the
line to Islington; an immediate increase of traffic will,
therefore, be derived from this source." -

The auditors' report was read, from which it ap-
peared that they were satisfied with the state of the
accounts.

The CHAIRMAIC, in moving the adoption of the
report, stated that he and his brother directors would
have wished that a larger balance should have been
shown than appeared by the report, but it must bi
remembered that this was what was termed
their winter or bad half-year, during which it
was not usual to make a dividend. The
directors had done all they could ; it must be recol-
lected that they had had a difficult task to perform.
They had had the North Kent line to contend with,
and yet they had increased their traffic rather than
diminished it. He was not one who liked to hold
out delusive hopes, but he thought they had now
arrived at a point at which the hopes of the directors
had been almost realised.—(-Hear, hear.) Their
line to Bow had - not yet been opened,
but the Dock line to Islington was ready
to open, though it had not yet been put in '
traffic. When the Dock Junction line was opened,
the traffic on that line Would be all profit to the com-
pany.—(Hear, hear.) He was happy also to say that
the directors were now in cordial communication with
the Eastern Counties Company, and there was every
prospect of a quantity of traffic of two descriptions on
the line from that source that would be no cost
to the company.—(Hear, hear.) The preliminaries of
an agreement with the London and North-Western
had been agreed upon, by which a considerable quan-
tity of goods traffic would be brought on the line.—
(Hear, hear.) They were assured to a certain
amount, and the directors calculated that between
4,0001. and 5,0001. a year net would be insured to the
company by the goods traffic which the London and
North-Western Company would bring on their line.
Of course it would be necessary to have a special
meeting to ratify the arrangement, but the preliminaries
were agreed upon, and it might be considered as settled.
They had also good reason to expect an increase of
traffic from the Eastern Counties—(Hear)—but they
were certain of a goods traffic from the London and
North-Western, -which would bring them in an in-
come of 5,0001. Their passenger traffic generally
had increased, and notwithstanding the competition
of the North Kent line, they were carrying as many
passengers to Gravesend 'as they were last year.—
(Hear, hear.) There was a small balance in hand,
and if the proprietors wished it it might be divided.—
(Cries of " No, no.") The Chairman concluded by
moving the adoption of the report.
In answer to a question from a Proprietor, the
CHAIRMAN denied that the same offer had not been
made to all the steam-boats. The directors had of-
fered to book through for all the steam-boats, at a
certain price, but the Diamond Company had other
interests; stud- refused-to adopt these ternit. He
trusted, which he had never stated before, that this
was the last time that they would appear at their
half -yearly meeting without declaring a dividend.
After a variety of questions had been put to the
Chairman, and satisfactorily answered by him, and
after also a lengthened discussion, the report was -
adopted. In the course of the discussion it was de-
clared by the chairman and Mr. Tite that the arches
of the railroad were as sound as ever they were, and
that they had been declared to be so by the Govern-
ment inspector.
A vote of thanks having been unanimously carried
to the chairman and directors, and the Chairman hav-
ing returned thank•, the meeting separated.

permission to reply to the toast, and you may
divine whose health was given. Oar hearts
palpitated in our voices, and all our arms were
extended towards him; the Prince was &reply
affected, and we all felt the same emotion. Ife
addressed some kind and cordial words to his
guests and then retired, and the company soon
after broke up. The brave workmen who were pre-
sent each took away with him t glass in which he
had drank to the health of the Prince. They hoped
that Providence and France would one day allow
them to driuk to the health of the Count de Cham-
bord in the country of his ancestors, and they
therefore desired to provide themselves with
their glasses."—The same journal adds, un-
der date of 10 o'clock Saturday evening :
—" We have just seen one of the delegates
of the deputation of the workmen who arrived in
Paris from 'Wiesbaden during the day. He confirms
all the details which we have given above. The three
delegates of the Parisian population fixed on by that
deputation to be received in a private audience by
Henry of France were M. Petit, a pasteboard-box
maker, M. Mathias, a saddler, and M. Salat, 'an
employs. The three delegates had a long con-
versation with the Count de Chambord on the
situation of the working classes, and the Prince
himself treated the question in a manner that showed
he had deeply studied. He spoke with the greatest
emotion of the women and young girls who were
exposed by their misery to fall into snares laid for
them, and pointed out institutions which might be
established for their assistance. He entered with
great feeling into the situation of the workmen who
were prevented from- ea> niug their bread honestly

A complete rupture has taken place between the
Berryer and the La Rochejaquelin sections of the
Legitimatists. It is thus described in the Ordre
:
"M. de Larochejaquelin, whose monarchical devoted-
ness does not exclude a certain republican frankness, and
who has a strong feeling of his personal value, showed a
paetension to play a principal part. After the arrival of
the Prince he held a second rank. Apartments had been
reserved by order of the Count de Chambord in the Hotel
Durringer for M. Berryer and several other leading mem-
bers of the Legitimatist party, but M. deLarochejaquelin
was overlooked. This gentleman afterwards wished, with-
out waitinF, for the advice or the convenience of the Count
de Chambord, to proceed to prescribe the conduct which
the Legitimatist party should adopt. He was given to
understand that he showed himself too impatient. A
short time after the Count de Chambord formed a sort
of privy council, with whom he proceeded in long
and private conferences to that examination on which
M. de Larochejaquelin pretended prematurely to
bring on a discussion, This privy council was com-
iwied of M. Berryer. General de Saint Priest, M. de
Ve.timesuil, M. Benoist d'Azy, and the Duke de Noailles.
M. de Larochejaquelin did not form a part of it. That
gentleman was deeply hurt at this exclusion, and
abruptly- left Wiesbulen, with,,ut taking leave of the
Prince. After his departure, the Count de Chambor
said before several persons, regret for M. de La-
roctiejaquelites sake that he . has left ,in this manner.' I
have de elt on these facts because they explain the state
of things declared by the Count de Chambord. The
Prince has loudly declared himself, both by his acts and
by his words, in favour of the prudent, circumspect,
and conciliatory policy of M. Berryer, and against
the at:tgr,ssive one of M. de Larochejaquelin, and the
Gazette de,France. Contrary to the opinion of the ultra-
Leguitnatists, the persons engaged,in the conferences at
Wiesbaden asserted that before all it was necessary to
defend and save material order. It was to that work
that, for the last two years, MM. Berryer, de Vatimes-
nil, and Benoist d'Azv have devoted themselves, and
their conduct has met with the entire approbation of the
Count de Chambord.'

la, the:kilter; with buyers and sellers. Open and unre-
stricted navigation is but a convertible terra for the as-
sertion, We understand our own interest better than
rulers can administer it for us." These are truths which
will bend to no exigencies of state. Justice and right
ere, heaven be thanked, inflexible, inexorable, relentless.
Violate them. offend them, and they will " have the due
and forfeit of their bond, till it is paid according to the
tenor." It is in vein that men plead on behalf of pri-
megeniiure and entail, that "a territorial aristocracy is
part of the Constitutional policy of this kingdom."
What does nature care for Constitutions or polices?
What signifies De Lolme, Runnymede, Magna Charts,
or the glorious Revolution of 1688, to truth, right,
human instinct, and the elementary tendencies of so-
ciety? What if the Grand Jury of reason and justice,
sitting in Heaven's retributive Chancery, should ignore
all those fine Bills of ours—send them back as trumpery
and rubbish—say " Hang your precious British Consti-
tution—who the devil is Blackstone or Pitt, or Macau-
lay. that they should expect us to interrupt or reverse
the whole decrees of Providence to suit their model
Constitutions? The ingenuity of mere human apehood
way self-magnify its sagacity on the invention for fat-
tening a few pigs called squires and Peers, and starving
and grinding all the rest by laws of feudalism, policy of
privileged orders, or eldest sons—generally the fools of
the family. But the elementary principles of society
cannot sustain such a theory—away with it. If Mo-
narchy cannot otherwise live, then Monarchy will one
day go away, let the whole world conspire to rule it
otherwise." Not that sovereignty is incompatible with
a simpler distribution of property. The small proprie-
tary of France are the Conservatives—it is they who
murmur " Vivo l'Empereur!" as the President passes
them—it is they who have quashed by the ballet-box the
Red Republicans. It is they who, in the United States,
are the back-bone of authority, and the staff and stay of
legal power. We ourselves begin to discern the danger
of concentrating the tenure.or-ercupation of our soil in
a daily contracting number of hands. We see that it

drives the mass of our population into a state of de-
pendence upon trade and manufactures, the most pre-
carious, dependent, and fluctuating of all sources of em-
ployment. We begin to be alive to the ominous signifi-
cancy of the fact, that the proportion of the number of
our people living by wages and salaries doled out by capi-
talists to them dailyfincreases, and that thatuf the master,
or self- dependent class, hourly becomes less. Mr. Locke
King, has ably handled the question in Parliament. A
powerful association has been established in Scotland,
where the operation of the large estate and farm system
his most extravagantly developed itself and run to seed.
At the beginning of the year the work entitled " The
siother Country; or, the Spade, the Wastes, and the Eldest
Son," presented a collection and digest of the literature
and facts of the subject. M. Passy's work on small farms
followed. Mr. Laing has again returned to the question
by a contribution of new and very valuable illustrations
of the views he originally enunciated. Mr. Mill, in the
more recent editions of his invaluable work, has largely
added to the evidence and reasoning by which he ori-
ginally advocated his sound and striking views; and now
Mr. Kay, finding that the distribution of property and
the laws regulating succession, lie at the root of all na-
tional culture, has devoted the chief, and certainly the
most interesting portion of his treatise on National Edu-
cation to the demonstration of the obstructions offered to
the development of human virtue, and to the healthy
progress of society, by those extant barbarisms of a
feudal age which time has aggravated in place of miti-
gating, and which, according to his authority, found
250,000 freehold estates in the hands of single families
in 1770, and had, in 1815, with population doubled, re-
duced the landed proprietary to 32,000, or to about one-
eighth of the former number, in the face of a large in-
crease of the cultivated land, and the enclosure of mil-
lions of acres of waste and common in the interval. As
the sale of encumbered estates in small lots to resident yeo-
men and small gentry isgradually forming an indepenJent
and intelligent constituency for the sister kingdom, who
will send, not crazy demagogues or venal parasites to
Parliament, but statesmen and patriots from Ireland, so
if Britain would not tall behind her sister in the pro-
gress of true civilization, she must, especially when
Free Trade presses so hardly on rent and averages,
demand to be emancipated from the shackles of feudal-
ism, and to be suffered " to do what she likes with her
own," without wking the charnel-house,or see-king leave
from the dead. Why should he " who died o'. Wednesday"
dictate to us now how we shall live? What has he now
to do with earth but to be buried in it? " May not
