GENERAL ADVANTAGES.
The limited investment of British capital in the construction of
Railways in France has hitherto been attended With both success and
profit. The proposal, therefore, to establish a railway communica-
tion between the French.capital and Strasburg, the point of depar-
ture to and from Germany, must command public attention and con-
fidence ; more particularly when it can be shown that peculiar faci-
lities arc afforded by tit French Goverument, and that those risks
and expenseawill be ebviated, which, to yo great an extent, affect si-
milar undertakings in England. • •
BENEFITS PECULIAR TO FRENCH RAILWAY INVEST.
MEN T S.
COnformablY; to the Law ok.the 11th June, 1642, the French Go- ,
vernment have resolved on the formation, of a railway frina. Paris to
Strasburg. It is necessary to , state that, .by the terms of that law,
the land' will be purchased, and the earthworks.. tunnels, bridges, sta-
tions, he., will be executed .by the Government, at their (not ex-
pense and lease of the line for working will be made to the
Company, whose Investmeut.will he 'United to the ballasting of the
road, the supplying and laying down.-of the rails, and providing the
engines, carriages; &c. .The ratification. of this lease, the duration of
the grant, the eonditions of working,. and the tariff of rates will be the
matter of a special 1aw.........................
COMPARATIVE 'ABSENCE OF RISK.
All the adventages 'tailWaYliivestrnent will thus be secured to
the Shareholders without fliose-risks' involved in the purchase of'
land, and errors in the estimate of cost, 'which have so frequently oc-
curred in similar undertakings in England. The only object of consi--,.
deration will be the conditions to be obtained from the, French Go.;
vernment for the working of the line,, and, there are sufficient data to
convince the Provisional Directors that favourable terms will be
granted to the proposed company..... ,
RATIFICATION 'OF THE LEASE.
Negotiations have already-bean enterettinto for a Lease, and it will
be the endeavour of the PrcrvitlOnal•DirectorS to secure its immediate
confirmation by the Government; which they have every reason to
anticipate will be ratified by- law during the present session of .tho
Trench ChamPers.
• IMPORTANCE-OF THE' LINE. '
It will be perceived that the line 'now proposed, from Paris to Stras-
burg, passing through Meaux, Chalons; and 'Haney, Must establish
an international comMunicatipp, 'lravers'big.'the richest and most
industrious provinces of. France,. and commercially uniting England,
by the port of Havre-and". the .French metropolis, with Austria, Ba-
varia, the manufacturing province.. of Alsace, Switzerland.. and the
Rhine ; bringing into. readier and closer intercourse, not only France
and Germany; but Great Britain and the -whole Continent, the city
of Strasburg being already the point of departure. for travellers from
and to the Germanic Provinces; and the point to which the national
railways of Germany are intended.to converge.
RESOURCES OF THE COUNTRY TO 'BE TRAVERSED—PRO-
- BABLE •EXTENT OF TRAFFIC. -
•
No doubtcan exist as to the great exterit of traffic to be anticipated
from the construction, of this line, The report ,of M. Correard,
an
eminent civil engineer, which will he deposited at the office of the
Company for -reference, has been obtained, and in this it is announced
that the agricultural, commercial, • •and manufacturing resources
of the provinces bordering or. within easy distance of the line, are
those of fifteen of the richest provinces in France—viz., Seine, Seine
et Oise, •Seine-et Mame, Aisne, Ardennes, Marne, Aube, Haute-Marne,
Meuse, Moselle-, Meurthe;Vosges,•lettute-Saone, Haut-Rhin, and Bas-
Rhin, aboundhig in forests,'. mines, •collieries,- ironworks, mills, and
factories, as well as in rich • vineyards, and-variotts agricultural pro-
ductions. All of these provinceSlMport mach of what they consume,
and have abundant" snrplus ' produce 'to export.' The interme-
diate traffic on this" route 'ls considered to be greater than
in any other part of Franca, the total annual trade being estimated
at 100,000 French tons between Strasburg d' Paris; while that
between and_ among the various locaj;ites enumerated embraces
double this amount. The total,population.is Atheu.t.six,milliions and
a quarter, and the total land _revenue, 320.060,Q0.4X..,9; 12.800,0001.,
double that of the whole kingdoro. of 8e1gium...........

The measures now in progress for a Railway communication be-
tween Chatham and Gravesend, have suggested the expediency of
extending the communication to London, by establishing a Steam
Ferry from Gravesend to Tilbury, and thence by Railway, joining the
Eastern Counties Station at Romford. , • _ _

The traffic already existing between Chatham, Gravesend, and
London, is well-known to be very large, and it cannot be doubted
that, when the communication with the Metropolis is reduced in
time to one hour, the Railway conveyance will obtain a decided
preference to the river. When to this are added the prospective ad-
vantages that may be derived from passengers landing at Thames
'fawn, and the economy of the construction, and the Parliamentary
expenses, which have already been paid, the intended • line promises
a More liberal return than any other at present. In contemplation.lt is intended to confine the operations for the present to a single
iine; With jetties; and responsible parties have offered to perform
the works to the satisfactiod of the Engineers, within eighteen
months, and without exceeding the specified capital.
About one-fourth of the Shares have been already subscribed for,
and it is intended to pay interest half-yearly at five per cent. per
annum on all future payments from the date of payment.
The Works will be commenced under the Act of Parliament al-
ready olittined by the Thames Haven Company, as soon as the
capital Ls subscribed.

The many novel and varied advantages bestowed by this Institu-

ticularly the power to borrow two-thirds of premiums without ex-
pense or forfeiture—the great reduction of rates on short pOlicies—
the option of selecting benefits and converting policies so as best to
suit the interest or necessity of the policy-holder during life, as well
as to afford the full benefit to his family at death, and annual division
of profits, haVe already been so Well appreciated by the pablic, that
the Society's great success and growing prosperity enabled the pi-

in 1839, in the middle of the month of. August, in order to be en:
gaged at the French theatre, which then had for its director M.
Cloup, but' the theatre being then closed, I found myself in a state
of want. Then Monsieur Herbert Marsh, accustomed to run after
new ladies that arrive in London, was presented to me by a lady,
which caused propositions,' and which my position forced me to
,accept, I had at that. time very little experience. After having
passed about eight days in London, I started again for France,
never belie-ring I should see him again, for I. bad lowed from him
things that I cannot help' stating. He was in'tolin frith the month
of May. I had almost emptied his pockets.. He beds* vastly in

found himself forced, in order to possess her, to come to the point'
of making offers. St. Clair then decided on .accepting 3001 for an

person I knew eight years ago. Saw her for the last time in 1839,
in the presence of Mr. Batley, a solicitor. Did not make signs, as
allegqd, at the Opera.. Did offer he 51. The servant did not
have it. I got it back again. Did not give her 3001.—that is false.
Never had any connexion with her. Perhaps this was in 1838.
Had been at Madame Lodon'i in 1835, but not with either of
those; of course, therefore, it mutt have been with others, but it
was not Clarissa, St. Clair,or the prisoner. Went first to Madame
Lodon's about ten years ago.; only occasionally—did not make it a
habit. Felt I was in the prisoner's power. She had a note of
mine for 5001., and might have sent it into the market. Was
obliged to.write to her often in terms of affection, and to keep up
the pretence, because I was in her power. Cannot say whether I

have been sold up since then by Mr. Otter. Papers were shown
me belonging to the prisoner, as having beeh found in Donley's
house. One was an altered certificate, and an extract from Mary.
I know the prisoner has been to my mother, to the bishop of the
di.mese, and to the dean. Has received, but not direct, a commu-
nication from the bishop. The prisoner first discovered who I was
in Easter, 1840.
On re-examination Mr. Marsh said Clarissa was a woman he met
with at a house of ill.fame. She was an attachee of a French
theatre. Never had connection at any time with St. Clair.' Offered
her 51. It was refused, and I got it back again. I employed Mr.
Leichfield in London, and Mr. Hopkinion in the country. Had
been threatened with proceedings by Mr. Columbine, In 1842.
Jacques Mutzlg—Lived at the house where the prisoner did.
Was the concierge, or house.porter, there. Had conversation with
her, in 1841, about an English clergyman she said she was ac.
quainted with, who sent her money. Said she had written to him
to send her money. She said she would, after she had told him she
was pregnant, write to say she had fallen down stairs, and she
should reeelve money. Had never heard she was in the family
way, or hhd fallen down stairs, or had. had a miscarriage.

aross-examined—Was first applied to to come over as a witness
on Saturday last. Attended five sets of rooms in Paris.
Augustus Gougenheim—ls an interpreter of languages living in
London.' Prisoner visited him on two occasions. On the first she
asked him to go into the country a long distance, to an English
clergymen. She said she could get an income settled on her ; that
he was rich and kind, and she would follow hint everywhere, and
state to the world the connection that had existed between them.
Being a countrywoman, I advised her to be cautious, and declined
to act. Mentioned circumstances that gave me to understand she
had been a gay lady eight or ten years.
William John Joseph Kemp—ls an intepreter, and went at pri.
Boner's request to Stamford, and saw Mr. 'Marsh on the Easter eve
of 1840. Prisoner told him of tne connection she had had with
Mr. Marsh at Lodon's and in Paris. She admitted she had led a
dissolute life from a very young age. She said he was the father
of a ci)ld she had. Witness told her,.trona what' she had said to
him, child must be" nigruntlfe trois-str perm'. She then
replied, " Never mind, he is a rich man and a clergyman, and
must pay." She said further, " I have served a Spaniard in the
mine hay, when attached to the embassy at Paris." Saw her in
1141; ',and said, " Madame, you have. got rid of your burden,"
and asked whit it was. She said a boy, but it was dead, and be
was not to say anything about it. She said she should bring an
action against Mr. Marsh for having destroyed her health, by
giving her a noxious drug to procure abortion. Cautioned her
how she made such an accusation, as he had seen her almost daily,
and she appeared to be in good health. She said, " Never mind;
I shall{ bring the charge, or he must give me more money."
Met. George Marsh; the brother of the prosecutor, proved pri-
soner's coming to hit another's on Easter.clay;': Witness saw her.
She said his hrOther had treated her very ill, and that she wanted
10,000 francs .to- open a mason de jeu. She afterwards said
30,000 francs.
There Were ether witnesses called, but their testimony did not
carry the case further. -
Mr, HUNFRIZY made a powerful appeal to the feelings of the jury
in favour of the prisoner,,and in particular alluded to the situation

she could know .nothing, being, as she was, a mute spectator, and

ledge of the English language. We shall not pretend to report a
speech which took an hour and a half in the delivery, but the prin-
cipal points were, that the jury could not say there was not reason-
able and probable cause, and that the present was not such a case
as was contemplated by the statute.
The Junos, in his summing up, presented the matters that were
to be decided by the jury, plainly before them. That she had used
ttreats and menaces wee clear and admitted, and that the offence
as charged came within the Act there could be no doubt—then,
was there reasonable or probable cause, or did she bona fide think
there was—that was the question.

The jury, after a long' Consultation, returned a verdict of " Not
Guilty," which was received with applause by a crowded Court.
This demonstration of feeling was instantly checked.

There was a second indictment,-bnt the counsel for the prosecu.
tion said it was substantially the same question, and, therefore, no
evidence would be'offered. The prisoner was, therefore, acquitted
on tho second Indictment.
