went of the Board of Trade.

" My Lord and Gentlemen,—Your memorialists, the inhabitants
of the borough of Truro, in the county of Cornwall, in public meet.
ing assembled, in the Town-hall, on the 9.Bth day of October, 1844,
respectfully show forth to your Hon. Board—
" That it has been proposed to construct a line of railway from
Plymouth to Falmouth, passing along the southern district of this
county, and arriving at Plymouth by a passage across the Hamoaze
from Torpoint.
" That it has also been proposed to construct a line of Railway
from Exeter to Falmouth and Penzance, passing through the centre
of the counties of Devon and Cornwall, at about an equal distance
from either sea coast.

`• That by the Central Line the distance of twenty miles would
be saved between Exeter and Falmouth, no engineering obstacle
exists on the line, the land is of comparatively little value, the
central highlands of both counties are much less broken or in.
tersected by deep valleys than where the sea coast is approached,
as on the proposed Southern line ; the colt of construction
will be moderate, and owing to the superiority of the
gradients the working expenses will be proportionably less
than on the proposed Southern Line; the prospects of traffic
accruing from the population of both counties, northward and
southward of the line, are much greater than by a Southern
line, as the Central line would accommodate in Cornwall alone,
out of a population of 341,000, about 325,000 in a greater degree
than the proposed South line; whereas, if the latter line were
adopted, 16,000 only would be accommodated in a greater degree
than by the Central line) and in regard to Devon, the benefit
of the Central line would be extended to a population of 60,000,
within six miles on each side of that line.
" Another advantage which would result not only to Govern-
recut but to the rommercial cominunity, by the adoption of the
Central line, would be its adaptation to the electro-telegraph,
which might be made the medium of instant communication be-
tween the port of Falmouth and the metropolis.
" That the Central line is proposed to be a double line, and
to be worked by locomotive engines; whereas the Southern
lino Is to be a' single line, and to be constructed on the at-
mospheric principle.
" Wherefore your memorialists pray your honourable Board
to report in favour of the Central Line of Railway from Exeter
to Falmouth and Penzance, whenever the competing lines shall be
presented to your consideration."

That this Meeting will support the Central lino by every means
in its power, and earnestly solicits the Members for the county of
Cornwall, and for this borough, to place their names on the Pro.
visional Committee, and to give the Central Line their undivided
support in Parliament and elsewhere.

lidraund Turner, Esq., M.P., stated his determination to sup-
port the Central line by every means in his power, and requested
his name to be placed on the Provisional Committee.

possible to obtain purchasers on the terms proposed.
We have an evidence of this in the movements
regarding the Delaware division, and a more favour-
able result cannot be expected with the main line.—
Maryland may do much better with her creditors than
any of the other delinquent states, but at present every
thing is in doubt and uncertainty. So far as heard
from the people were liquidating the demands of the
tax collectors very rapidly. Very little change
has taken place in the financial condition of solvent
States. The public works of this State and of
Ohio have been unusually productive this year,
which, so far as the latter State is concerned, is of
the most vital importance, and insures to her creditors
the regular payment of their dividends.

COTTON TRADE.—There has been a good inquiry,
both from shippers and pinners, and to-day about
1,200 bales were taken at steady rates. The southern
markets are very dull, with very large receipts and
limited sales.
CORN TRADE.—The corn trade was very inactive.
Speaking of this the .New York Herald says :—" The
decrease in the shipment to Canada has been pro-
duced by the abundant crops in England, and no de-
mand, ix consequence, coming from that quarter.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

THE fltJtE OF LEEDS V. EARL AMHERST.-JUD6MENT.

The LORD CIIANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this
case, which was argued about a week since. Our readers
will recollect that the case came before the Court upon
appeal from the judgment of the Vice-Chancellor of
England, deciding that a full length equestrian picture of
the great Duke of Schoenberg, who was killed at the
battle of the Boyne, and who was the maternal ancestor
of the Duke of Leeds, was a portrait, and that it
passed as such under the will to the respondent. On
the part of the Duke it was contended that it was
a picture and not a portrait, and as such belonged to the
person who was the owner of Hornby-hall in the Great
Hall of which it was placed. His Lordship this morning
gave judgment, affirming the judgment of the Court
below.

His LORDSHIP also gave judgment in this case which
was an appeal from the Master of the Rolls. The Court
ordered the judgment below to be affirmed.

MARQUIS OF HERTFORD V. LORD LOWTHER.

The remainder of the day was occupied with the fur-
thering this appeal, in which a question was raised
whether certain money and bank notes in the testator's
possession at the time of his death passed by his will
devising real estates.
Sir James Graham was present a greater portion of
the morning, and sat on the bench.
This was the last clay of term, and it is generally un-
derstood that his Lordship will not sit again till this day
week.

FALMOUTH, Nov. 23.

The Swift packet, Lieut. Douglas, arrived this after-
noon with the Brazil wails from Rio Janeiro direct,
whence she sailed on the 13th ult. On freight about
10,0001 Passengers—Senhor Martinez Joabim and son.
The Exchange had maintained itself firm at 251 till the
beginning of October, when it advanced to 254, which
was the ruling rate to the date of the packet's sailing.
Six per Cent. Stock had advanced to 721 and 73, and
considerable sales had been effected at the latter quota-
tion. The shipment of coffee, from the Ist to the 12th
October, amounted to 45,961 bags. At Rio Janeiro: her
Majesty's ships Alfred, Crescent, Dolphin, and Racer ;
American frigate Raritan, and French frigate Reine
Blanche. It was reported at Rio Janeiro that the Go •
vernment had determined on not entering into any treaty
with Great Britain on terms differing from treaties con-
tracted with other nations. _

Advices had been received from the River Plate sta-
tions that the Riveristas had had the advantage in some
little skirmishing between the troops on land, and two
vessels belonging to Amiral Brown's squadron had been
taken by the Monte Videans.
Rio GRANDE.—The last accounts from Rio Grande
left General Caixas virtually in possession of the coun-
try. The only chiefs who had not submitted to the Im-
perial Government were Canavaro, Joao Antonio, and
Bento Gonsalves ; their whole body did not amount to
above 1,000 men, which were without either discipline
or a governor. The rebels were divided into small par-
ties, and when pressed by the Government troops fled to
the Monte Videan frontier, and again re-entered the Rio
Grande territory at some other point ; this skirmishing
warfare kept General Caixas continually on the march.
His army amounted to 10,000 strong. The rebels were
much reduced, and it was expected that a general sub-
mission to the Brazilian Government would shortly take
place.

SIR W. FOLLETT.—The Attorney-General, Sir
W. W. Follett, is expected in England shortly from
the Mediterranean. A Government steamer will be
placed at the disposal of the learned gentleman to convey
him to England or Marseilles. Sir William is decidedly
better.

The Cornwallis, 72, Captain Peter Richards, was
paid off at this port to-day (Friday). The bre'l
ungentlemanly conduct of the Commander (Wise), to the
tradesmen who had occasion to visit the ship, is a subject
of veil* general remark—such behaviour is, we are glad
to say, an exception to the general character of the
officers in the service, or the term British naval officer
and gentleman would cease to be synonymous,--Devon-
port Telegraph..
The London and St. Katharine Dock Companies
have given the sum of 1001. each towards the fund now

bouring classes in the metropolis.

- ways leading into other parts of the kingdom, express their high
11:: gratification at the success which has attended the projected Aber.

CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.)

THE DUKE OF LEEDS D. EARL AMHERST.-JUDGMENT.

The Loan CHANCELLOR gave judgment to-day in this
case, which was argued about a week since. Our readers
will recollect that the case came before the Court upon
appeal from the judgment of the Vice-Chancellor of
England, deciding that a full length equestrian picture of
the great Duke of Schomberg, who was killed at the
battle of the Boyne, and who was the maternal ancestor
of the Duke of Leeds, was a portrait, and that it
passed as such under the will to the respondent. On
the part of the Duke it was contended that it was
a picture and not a portrait, and as such belonged to the
person who was the owner of llornby-hall in the Great
Hall of which it was placed. His Lordship this morning
gave judgment, affirming the judgment of the Court
below.

FALMOUTH, Nov. 23.

The Swift packet, Lieut. Douglas, arrived this after-
noon with the Brazil mails from Rio Janeiro direct,
whence she sailed on the 13th ult. On freight about
10,0001. Passengers—Senhor Martinez Joabim and son.
The Exchange had maintained itself firm at 25 till the
beginning of October, when it advanced to 25k, which
was the ruling rate to the date of the packet's sailing.
Six per Cent. Stock had advanced to 722- and 73, and
considerable sales had been effected at the latter quota-
tion. The shipment of coffee, from the Ist to the 12th
October, amounted to 45,961 bags. At Rio Janeiro: her
Majesty's ships Alfred, Crescent, Dolphin, and Racer ;
American frigate Raritan, and French frigate Reine
Blanche. It was reported at Rio Janeiro that the Go •
vernment had determined on not entering into any treaty
with Great Britain on terms differing from treaties con-
tracted with other nations.
Advices had been received from the River Plate sta-
tions that the Riveristas had had the advantage in some
little skirmishing between the troops on land, and two
vessels belonging to Amiral Brown's squadron had been
taken by the Monte Videans.
Rio GRANDE.—The last accounts from Rio Grande
left General Caixas virtually in possession of the coun-
try. The only chiefs who had not submitted to the Im-
perial Government were Canavaro, Joao Antonio, and
Bento Gonsalves ; their whole body did not amount to
above 1,000 men, which were without either discipline
or a governor. The rebels were divided into small par-
ties, and when pressed by the Government troops fled to
the Monte Videan frontier, and again re-entered the Rio
Grande territory at some other point ; this skirmishing
warfare kept General Caixas continually on the march.
Ilis army amounted to 10,000 strong. The rebels were
much reduced, and it was expected that a general sub-
mission to the Brazilian Government would shortly take
place.

SIR W. FOLLETT.—The Attorney-General, Sir
W. W. Follett, is expected in England shortly from
the Mediterranean. A Government steamer will be
placed at the disposal of the learned gentleman to convey
him to England or Marseilles. Sir William is decidedly
better.

-.The Cornwallis, 72, Captain Peter Richards, was
paid off at this port to-day (Friday). The brutal and
ungentlemanly conduct of the Commander (Wise), to the
tradesmen who had occasion to visit the ship, is a subject
of very general remark—such behaviour is, we are glad
to say, an exception to the general character of the
officers in the service, or the term British naval off cer
and gentleman would cease to be synonymous.—Devon-
port Telegraph..
The London and St. Katharine Dock Companies
have given the sum of 1001. each towards the fund now

WHOLESALE NVRECKING.—The Courrier du Havre
of Monday contains the following narrative, which re-
minds us somewhat of the wreckers in Cornwall. About
nino o'clock on Saturday night about 100 people with
baskets, sacks, bags, and shovels, assembled on the Place
de l'Euro, and gathered up the coffee scattered along the
shore from the wreck of the Deux Paulines, and oven
took possession of fragments of the vessel. Two officers
of the customs endeavoured to stop the plunder, but were
soon overpowered by numbers and beaten off. They
would have fared much worse but for their own prudence
in making a timely retreat. The pillage was continued
throughout the night, and in the morning the predatory
band was increased. One man took away, on a horse
which he brought for the purpose, 1,2001 b. of coffee, but
of this quantity 7001 b. was found in his house, and t4kon
away and lodged in a warehouse. Th 9 officers on duty
at the citadel compelled all who entered through it into
the town to deposit their 194 UNh r the vault of the

THE OPINION.

, " The present informations, I think, cannot be sup-
ported, without proving that the parties were playing for
money, and that the landlords knew of it. The licence
prohibits the knowingly suffering any unlawful game, or
any gaming whatever. A game may be unlawful,
although the parties do not play for money, or money's
worth. But the offence here charged is knowingly suf-
fering gaming with cards; and to prove a playing for
money or money's worth. An information for the other
offence stated in the licence, namely, knowingly suffering
any unlawful game, may be set out in the offence thus:—
[Here follows the form of information, which is merely
useful to magistrates' clerks.]
" As on statingthe species of game played, it is in all
cases desirable to state it, in order to preclude any ob-
jection of uncertainty; but I do not think it absolutely
necessary that it should be stated, because playing at
any game of cards for money is gaming, and playing at
any game of cards by artificers, &c., out of Christmas or
in Christmas, except in his master's presence, is an un-
lawful game. " J. T. ARCHBOLD.

THE FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR

LEICESTER.

- -
LEICESTRR, SATURDAY MORNING.—An inquiry into
the circumstances attending the death of Edward Jowett,
the unfortunate man killed on the railway near this place
on Thursday night, took place last evening, at six
o'clock, before Mr. John Gregory, coroner for South
Leicestershire, and a respectable jury at the Marl-
borough's Head, near the station.
From the evidence of the two principal witnesses, the
driver and stoker of a coal train which left Leicester for
Rugby, about seven o'clock on Thursday night, it
appeared that deceased acted as breaksman to the same
train, and accompaniod them on that occasion. After
passing through the Kingston-hill Tunnel], which is
little more than a mile from Leicester, one of the coupling
chains connecting the coal trucks broke and the train
was stopped to remedy the accident. This having been
done, the engine was again set in motion, but owing to
the humid state of the atmosphere, and consequent
slipperiness of the rails, the wheels did not " bite,"
and the deceased got down off the truck on which
he was riding, and taking a small spade or shovel with
him, crossed the line for the purpose of obtaining
a little sand to throw upon the rails. While in
the act of doing this, the second goods train from London
came along the down line at a rapid pace, but, from the
fog which prevailed at the time, it WSJ not observed by
the driver of the coal train until within a few yards'
distance. When the train had swept. past, the driver
'billed out to the deceased, and, obtaining no answer,
commenced a search for him. In a very few moments
he was discovered in a senseless state by the road side,
with a frightful wound over the right temple, from which
the brains protruded, and other contusions about the
face. He was immediately placed on one of the trucks,
and conveyed back to Leicester, where he lingered until
ten o'clock, and then expired. In the absence of all
positive knowledge, it is conjectured that, in consequence
of the noise from the engine of the coal train, the
deceased was altogether unaware of the approach of the
down train, the connecting bar between the wheels of
the locomotive attached to which appears to have struck
his head, aad inflicted the wound above described.
. _

After hearing evidence to this effect, the jury expressed
themselves satisfied, and returned a verdict of " Acci-
dental death."

The deceased was a very well conducted and respect-
able young man, and the sole support of an aged mother.
He had been employed on the railway for some years,
