ing to those locally interested the merits of the line, and with
a view of ascertaining their sentiments. It is intended to
form a direct communication from the seaport of Southend
to Chelmsford, there crossing the Eastern Counties, and
proceeding to the north-west of Dtmmow, and forming a
junction with the Northern and Eastern at or near Saffron
Walden. Branches are projected from the main line at
Rochford to Burnham, a good seaport ; from Great Baddow
to Maldon, from Dunmow to Braintree and Coggleshall,
to join the Eastern Counties at Marks Tey, and from
Dunmow to Bishops Stortford. The line runs nearly
at a right angle with the Eastern Counties, affording com-
munication from the south-west to the north-east portions of
the county, also connecting the Thames, by a direct line, via'
Ely, with the principal northern and manufacturing counties.
The arguments adduced in favour of the scheme were ge-
nerally of the same character as those mooted at the meeting
at Chelmsford on the 12th inst. The meetings, after hearing
the several statements of the promoters, adopted a series of
resolutions approving of the undertaking as being calcu-
lated to improve the trade of the county, and determined
upon consulting the acting provisional committee, with a
view of appointing provisional committees for their respec-

tive districts.
SALE OF RAILWAY SHARES IN COMPANIES NOT

COMPLETELY REGISTERED.

It has been a question much debated amongst respectable
stockbrokers, and others deeply interested in railway stock,
whether the sale of shares, represented by letters of allot-
ment, bankers' receipts, or scrip, in companies only pro-
visionally registers d, is or is not legal, under the new .Joint-
stock Companies' Act, which came into operation on the Ist
of November last. It is very much to the credit of the
members of the Manchester Stock Exchange—which, as a
body, we believe, stands high for the careful conduct of its
business—that they should have taken the best possible
course to set this question at rest. Through their solicitors,
Messrs. Sale and Worthington, the Manchester Stock Ex-
change proposed a case for legal opinion, and we have been
favoured by these gentlemen with a copy of the queries, and
of the answers thereto given by the authorities consulted.
When we state that those authorities are amongst the lead-
ing counsel at the English bar, namely, Sir Frederick The-
siger, the Attorney-General ; Mr. Ogle, of the Western ;
and Mr. Cowling, of the Northern Circuit, we need say no
more to recommend their deliberate opini ,ns (for we under-
stand that the Attorney-General ha 4 the case before him
some time, for the express purpose of giving it his most care-
ful consideration), to the serious attention of all connected
with railways, and especially to the Boards of Provisional
Directors of Companies established since the Ist of November
last. The following is a copy of the case
1. Whether as to the Companies established before the Ist
of November last, and therefore not within the provisions
of the new Act (7th and Bth Victoria, chap.llo), the sale of
letters of allotment, bankers' receipts, or 'scrip, or any of
them, is legal ?
We are of opinion that sales of letters of allotment,
bankers' receipts, and scrip, issued by companies esta-
blished before! the Ist of November last, are not within the
provisions of the statute 7th and Bth of Victoria, c. 110, and
that, consequently, the sales of such documents are legal.
2. Whether railway companies are within the restrictions
as to the sale or transfer of shares, or other restrictive clauses
of the above Act; and if so, whether, after provisional re-
gistration, and before complete registration, the sale of letters
of allotment, bankers' receipts, or scrip, is legal or illegal ?
We are of opinion that railway companies established after
the lst of November last, are within the restrictions con-
tained in the 26th section of the 7th and Bth Victoria, c. 110,
and we think that sales of letters of allotment, bankers' re-
ceipts, and scrip, attempted to be made after the provi-
sional, but before the complete registration of the company,
are illegal.
3. Whether, after complete registration, but before ob-
taining an Act of Parliament, the sale of such scrip (as
scrip will then have been issued, and then of scrip only), is
legal or illegal?
We-are of opinion that sales, after complete registration, of
scrip issued by railway companies established subsequently
to the Ist of November last, are legal. It is evident from the
latter portion of the 25th section, that the Legislature in-
tended that railway companies, on complete registration,
and before the Act of Incorporation, or ether Act giving autho-
rity for executing the works, should have all those powers
conferred by the first part of the section, which are most
qualified or retained by the latter part; and we do not find
anything either in that, or in the preceding section, from
which it is to be collected that the Legislature intended to
render illegal sales of scrip by such companies, until their
Acts of incorporation should be obtained.
4. If the sale of scrip, after complete registration, be legal,
whether it is not the duty of the Provisional Directors to
lodge the subscription contracts, and other requisite docu-
ments, at the registry office, so as to obtain a certificate of
complete registration, and thus enable scripholders to sell
scrip?

Ite consider it to be the duty of the Provisional Directors
to lodge the subscription contracts, and other requisite docu-
ments, at the office, for the purpose of obtaining a certificate
of complete registration.
5. If the restrictive clauses of the Act do not apply to rail-
way companies, whether the sale of letters of allotment,
bankers' receipts, or scrip, be or be not illegal, notwithstand-
ing they are so excluded?
Being of opinion that the restrictive clauses of 7 and 8 Vic.,
c. 110, apply to railway companies formed after the Ist of
November last, it only remains for us to observe, that as to
companies established before the Ist of November, we do not
think, independently of the statute, that the sale of letters of
allotment, bankers' receipts, or scrip, would be legal.

THE LATE FIRE at SIR CHARLES

PRICE'S.
ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS, AND OFFICIAL REPORT.

(From our Evening Edition of yesterday.)
From an early hour yesterday morning until late last evening a
large concourse of persons continued to assemble in William-street,
Blackfriars, the scene of the late dreadful fire, many for the purpose
of inquiring as to whether or not any other bodies had been found.
Notwithstanding the strong fears that were apprehended at one time
that several parties had lost their lives by plunging Into the water,
it is now generally believed that every man who was immersed was
afterwards rescued. Two hats only remain at the police-station
which have not yet been owned, and the reporter yesterday was in
company with a gentleman who lost his hat whilst jumping front
one of the burning barges into a boat, and returning home he had
neglected to call at the station-house for the same* The only doubt
that now remains is whether the owner of the otherhat had perished ;
it is, however, quite probable that he was saved in a similar way
to the other party. Between 12 and I o'clikk yesterday a male and
female called at the Bridewell Hospital, and requested permission to see
the remains of the man who had perished, as they had lost
a brother, and knowing that he was assisting in working one of the
immediately complied with, when they identified ,the remains as
engines, they were fearful that he was burnt. That request was
being those of their relative, a young man named George Spencer,
of Black Bear-alley, Farringdon-street. The state of the parties
upon seeing the blackened mass of all that remained of their brother
can be more easily imagined than described. The poor fellow, it
appears, was one of many who occasionally earn a few shillings by
calling the firemen to and working the engines at fires. A man
named Wilford, who was working at the same engine, said that he
was talking to the unfortunate fellow, when all of a sudden the fire
rushed out of the wiadows and through the doorway, completely-
enveloping the whole of the men who were then working. Such
was the fury of the blazing turpentine, that before they had let go
their hold of the engine the machine became ignited, and they were
forced to jump into the stream—the only place they could run to
escape being burnt to death. He noticed Spencer running at the
same moment with himself, but the passage not being safliciently
wide for all to pass at the same time, the deceased must have been
driven by the flames into the corner where the remains were found.
Some idea of the extent of the tire may be formed when it is stated
that at one time there were between forty and fifty puncheons of
turpentine, front eight to ten tons of cod oil, and a quantity of other
oils in a thorough state of ignition. The former article was kept in
large wooden vessels, lined with lead, and there is no doubt that, as
wdedrotrebcytinthgee the

of one of the cisterns of turpentine.
the fire reached those compartments, they exploded, and to that cause
may be attributed the rapid progress of the flames. Mr. Inspector
Woodruffe, and a gentleman named Richmond, of Broadway, Lud-
gate-hill, had both very narrow escapes, and one of the firemen

Although every inquiry has since been instituted as to the origin
of the disaster, nothing that could be depended upon could be learned.
Some parties imagine that the flames arose from a spontaneous igni-
tion, and others that it was caused by a flue in the cooperage—this
department is under that portion of the, premises where the fire was
first perceived. . .

The total damage done it is at present impossible to tell; but it is
believed to be under 10,0001. The following is a copy of Mr. Super-
intendent IFtraldwood's official report :

‘, Tuesday, Sept. 16, forty minutes past one P. 31. —A fire broke out
on the premises belonging to Sir Chas. Price and Co., William-street,
Illackfriars.—Cause of fire unknown. The turpentine warehouse
and contents destroyed on west side of wharf. The windows burnt
out, and roof considerably damaged, of oil warehouse on the east side
of premises. Most part of cooperage and stock at the water side
severely damaged. Insured in the West of England and Imperial
Fire-offices for stock ; the buildings, which belong to the Bridewell
Hospital, it is unknown at present whether or not they are insured.
„ C. Hoppe, Pig Quay Coal Wharf.—Counting-house severely
damaged. Three or four barges extensively scorched, and one sunk.
Insured for stock in trade in the Licensed Victuallers'-office.
.‘ Messrs. Capel, coal-merchants.—Windows burned out of count-
ing-house, and several barges damaged by fire, &c. Insured in the
Phoenix Fire-office."
The fire was extinguished by engines belonging to the parish, the
Briciewell, nine land engines, with a floating one belonging to the
London Establishment, and the West of England and County ones,
with their firemen and assistants.

THE LATE CALAMITOUS FIRE.
INQUEST ON THE UNFORTUNATE SUFFERER.
Yesterday morning, at eleven, a highly respectable jury
assembled at the Bridewell Hospital, Bridge-street, Black-
friars, before Mr. Joseph Payne, Deputy Coroner for the City,
to inquire as to the death of George Spencer, aged 21, who
perished at the late extensive conflagration at Sir Charles
Price's, in William-street) Blackfriars, the particulars of
which have appeared in the. daily journals.
After the jury had viewed the body of the unfortunate man,
which presented a most appalling spectacle, the following
evidence was adduced :

George Preedy, one of the fire brigademen, said—l was
present at the fire which took place on Monday afternoon,
about three o'clock, at Sir Charles Price's, in William street,
Blackfriars. A very severe explosion took place of casks of
turpentine and other combustible materials, which occasioned
a number of persons who were working at the engines to rush
towards the water-side. I observed the deceased, who, in the
confusion, ran in the contrary direction, from whence he could
not effect his escape. Shortly afterwards I saw the remains
of the deceased, which presented the same appearance as
when seen by the jury. The deceased had been working at
one of the engines.
William Wilford being sworn said—l knew the deceased,
who lived in the same house with me in Bear-court, Far-
ringdon-street. At the time of the fire the deceased was
working at one of the engines with myself and a number of
other men. An explosion took place, which dispersed the
people and set fire to the engine. I did not see the deceased
again alive. I made my escape by rushing towards the river,
as did a number of other persons.
Mr. James Braidwood, superintendent of the London Fire
Establishment, said—l arrived at the scene of conflagration
soon after it broke out; several engines were then in full ope-
ration, and a vast number of persons were assembled, the
whole of the premises were on fire, and fears were entertained
at one time that the London Gas Works would catch fire.
I did not observe the deceased until I saw his remains after
the tire was got under.
In answer to questions from the Coroner and jury, Mr.
Braidwood said that most of the turpentine and other com-
bustible spirit escaped without an explosion in consequence
of not being combined with atmospheric air; had not such
been the case no doubt the explosions would have been more
severe, and the devastation consequently more extensive.
Mr. Price, jun., one of the partners in the firm, said he was

Other evidence was heard, after which the jury returned a
verdict of " Accidental death." The deceased was a green-
grocer.

SUDDEN DEATH IN THE STREET.—Tuesday af-
ternoon, about three o'clock, a female was observed to stagger and
fall in Rear-yard, Lincoln's Inn. She was immediately
a.
sallied from the ground, and being found in a state of inse
sibuity, she was at once conveyed to King's College Hos-
pital, where she was promptly attended by Dr. Guy, the
head physician of the institution. That gentleman, however,
after trying the usual remedies for restoring animation, pronounced
life to be quite extinct. The deceased, it was stated, most probably
eapired fr.= a .sodden affeetiou of the heart. The body appears to
be that of a person of the middle age and stature, and is dressed in a
dark gown and shawl and straw bonnet. The body remains in the
above institution, awaiting identification and a coroner's jury'

REGISTRATION COURTS.

CITY OF LONDON.
The REVISING BARRISTER yesterday decided that he had
the power of correcting any errors in the description given of
a claimant. This decision will have the effect of placing upon
the register a great number of liverymen who were supposed
to be disqualified.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
George King, aged nine years, was charged as follows :
Mrs. Veincan, a widow with a large family, living in Rath-
bone-place, stated that the prisoner was in the habit of
playing with her children; he was the son of a poor widow
living in the neighbourhood. On Friday last he came crying
to witness, and said be could not help doing so, as he was so
yery hungry, and that his mother had no food to give. She
in consequence took him into her place, and gave him vic—
tuals, but while there it appeared he broke open the lock of
a drawer with a fork, and stole a silk pocket-handkerchief of
the value of between 4s. and ss. On Sunday afternoon last,
during her absence from home, the prisoner managed to
enter her apartment by forcing open the window, and carried
off four silk handkerchiefs, a sheet, and other property ; he
also regaled himself in the place by eating up a pound of
moist sugar. Since then he had kept out of the way, but last
evening the police succeeded in apprehending him.
Mr. HARDWICK asked the prisoner what he had done with
the stolen property.—He replied that he had pledged it at
different pawnbrokers in the neighbourhood of St. Giles's,
and had sold the duplicates afterwards. He was put up to
" do the job" by another boy.
A constable said the prisoner bad committed several rob-
beries in the neighbourhood.
He was remanded until Saturday next, in order to allow
time to trace the property.
CLERKENWELL.
John Welch was charged with assaulting a man, named
Connor.
Police-constable, 22 G—There is no complainant.
Mr. GREENwoon—Why ? Police-constable—l believe
they have settled it.
Mr, GREENwoon—Why ? Policeman—l believe the pri-
soner gave the complainant something.
Mr. GREENWOOD—This really must not be tolerated. Let
the complainant be brought in.
The complainant and his wife came into Court, when, upon
being interrogated by the magistrate, they,
,admitted having
abandoned the charge, the prisoner promising to give them
some drink at a public-house near the Court.
Mr. GREENwoon—Are you in the habit of doing these
things ? The complainant said he had done so before.
Mr. GREENWOOD said it was a scandalous thing to corn.
promise an offence upon such terms ; and the parties might
as well know that they subjected themselves to two years'
imprisonment for so doing.
John Wilson was charged with the following misconduct
at the house of Mr. James Livey, a coffeeshop-keeper, resid-
ing in 68, High-street, Camden-town.
The "prisoner went into the coffee-shop on the previous
evening, and as his conduct was not decorous, Mr. Livey told
him to walk out ; he refused, and when Mr. Livey insisted
upon his doing so struck him on the head, and, stooping
down, attempted to throw him head over heels. A police-
man came in, and he was apprehended.
The prisoner was, in default of tine, sentenced to five days'
imprisonment.
DARING BURGLARY.—Edward Johnson, a young man, having the
appearance of a gipsy, was placed at the bar, charged by Mrs. Mary
Ann Bain, widow, residing at No. 13, Ampton-street, Gray's Inn-
road, with having burglariously entered her dwelling-house, and
stealing a quantity of silver plate and jewellery. The prosecutrix
deposed that on Tuesday night last, prior to retiring to rest, she fas-
tened her doors and windows. The previous morning about two o'clock,
she was awoke from her sleep, when on proceeding to the hack
parlour, and opening the door, a light was blown out, and she
saw a man escape through the parlour window into the garden
and then climb over the garden-wall, and drop into Frederick's-
place. She made an alarm, and he was taken into custody. On the
parlour table a quantity of plate and articles of jewellery were
packed up ready to be taken away, and the whole of the cupboards
and drawers had been forced open and ransacked.
Swanson, 172, saw tha prisoner drop from the garden Wall, and
he was stopped by other officers of the G division. He was without
boots or shoes, and ori his way he dropped a crow-bar. Some
lucifer matches and a piece of candle were found in his possession.
The prisoner said nothing in his defence, and he was fully cam
mitted for trial.

GUILDHALL.
THE LATE SCRIP ROBBERIES ON THE GREAT WESTERN ♦ND LON-
DON AND BIRMINGHAM RAILWAYS. —A respectably dressed man,
about forty years of age, named Daniel Garrett, was charged before
Alderman Hughes Hughes with having a share in the late robberies
on the Great Western Railway, for which Maynard was committed
on Friday last for acting as an agent in restoring the property for a

certain reward.
Mr. Clarkson appeared on behalf of the Great Western Railway
Company, Mr. Humphreys to watch the proceedings for the London
and Birmingham Railway, and Mr. Thwaites for defendant.
Mr. Clarkson said that since Maynard had been committed the

railway authorities had thought proper to give instructions to appre-
hend the prisoner. He should only produce sufficient evidence to

ask for a remand.
Mr. Nash, of the firm of Swaine and Co., solicitors to the railway,
stated, that the prisoner was apprehended yesterday by Collard, the
superintendent of the railway police. Ile went up in consequence of
the prisoner making a violent resistance. Collard then proceeded up
to the prisoner's room, where a number of parcels and remains of
parcels were found, which had been lost from off the railways. While
he was gone, he (witness) was left in the room with the prisoner, who
said, " Can't I bribe you to let me go, if only for a few minutes ; I'll
give you anything if you will."
Joseph Collard, the officer, said that he went to the prisoner's
house, No. 40, North-street, Lisson-grove, and addressed the pri-
soner, whom he found in the parlour, with—" Well, Mr. Garrett,
how are you ?" He replied, " Very well, I thank you ; how are
you ?" Witness then said, " I believe your name is Daniel Garrett?"
upon which he replied, after some hesitation, " No, it's Williams."
He then told the prisoner he had some business respecting some pro-
perty lost by Mr. V. Prance on the Great Western Railway, and
that he must secure him on suspicion of being connected with the
robbery. He then asked to see the prisoner's room, and on searching
it he found four portmanteaus, and one carpet bag, all crammed full
of wearing apparel. One of the portmanteaus had several tickets on
it belonging to the Great Western Railway.
Alderman HUGHES said it was most gratifying to him, as well as it
must be to the public, to see the exertions made by Mr. Nash, on
behalf of the Company, to break up the present system of railway
robberies.—After some further discussion, the prisoner was remanded
until Monday week
BOW-STREET.
ALLEGED FELONY.—On Tuesday, a cabinet maker, named Wiliam
Jefferson, was placed at the bar, 'charged with stealing a bill of ex-
change for 29/. 10s., from the shop of Mr. Walter Hennessy, timber
merchant, 189, High Holborn, under the following circumstances :
The prosecutor stated, that on Friday last the prisoner came to his
house for the purpose, as he supposed, Of examining some goods, at
which time he was in the counting-house, on the desk of which lay
the bill in question, of which his father was the acceptor. Witness
had left a blank for his own name as the drawer, and, being suddenly
called out to attend on a customer, atter a short delay he returned
and met the prisoner coming out. In about an hour he discovered
his loss, and km wing that no person except the prisoner had been in
the apartment, he went on Tuesday last to him, demanding the re-
storation of his property, as he did out wish to injure him ; he replied
that he had made use of it for an overdue bill of his own, and there
was no use at present to take any further steps about it, as he could
meet it when it became due, upon which witness said that he cer-
tainly would take steps to recover it ; and nothing further occ• rred
until yesterday, when, upon repeating his demand, the prisoner
treated the matter very lightly, and refluted to give any satisfaction.
The prisoner, being called on for his defence, said that the prosecu-
tor was in the habit of requesting him to get hills cashed for him and
his father. A few days hack he gave him two bills fir the same pur-
pose, at the same time offering to give him an accommodation bill for
the amount in question, of which his father was to be the acceptor.
The prisoner then wrote his name and that of his partner across the
bill, with the understanding that the father was to have a portion of
the money ; hut, instead of stealing it from the counting-house, the
prosecutor brought it to his (prisoner's) house, as he could prove if

the case was put off to a future day.
TWTFORD, being informed that the prisoner was a honseholder
and a master tradesman, ordered him to enter into his own recogni-
zances to meet the charge.

0048 of head, to the man of pleasure increased enjoyment, to the
traveller, cheerfulness arid relief from sea-s+ekness. Elderly persons
will find them the mildest and safest family medicine. To the young
they are invaluable, as they clear the skin of all impurities, and
give an astonishing brilliancy to the complexion. No other medi-
cine acts so directly upon the spleen, so that their effects in calming
the temper are immediate and striking. In boxes, at Is. l M d., at

cietOber.9, 1844.
Sir,—For the last three or four years I have been labouring under
a nervous deatness, so much so at times as to be almost incapable of
hearing. After trying several very eminent aurists, from whom I de-
rived scarcely any relief, I was induced at the solicitation of a friend,
to try your excellent Eye Snuff. I accordingly procured one of your
4s. 4d. canisters, after taking which I found considerable benefit, so
much so that I sent for two more, which, having used, I found my
hearing completely restored, and I have not been deaf since. I should
mention that the time I commenced taking your Eye Snuff was in
April last, and have continued taiking it macs.—l am, Sir, your obe-
dient servant, • W. H. ADAMS. .
To Mr, W. Grimstono_

Any quantity of Eye Snuff can be forwarded through the Genera
