RAILWAY. EXTENSIONS.—The popular feeling in
favour of new railways appears to be on the increase, not-
withstanding the immense number of Bills for new railways
already before Parliainent. The city of Lincoln appears to
be a point of especial favour. No Jess than seven different
railways are contemplated to start in one direction or an-
other from that point ; and, if only a pOrtion of these lines
are made, Lincoln will suddenly start into .a-plice of 'vast
importance. One of the most importont of these projected
lines of railway is an extension by the Eastern Counties
Railway Company
of the Cambridge Railway,. from Ely -to
Lincoln ; and the surveys for this line are now actually being
made by Mr. R. Stephenson, with the view,, it is understood;
of immediately taking measures for obtaining an Act in ,the
next session of Parliament.. This line, when carried out, will
undoubtedly effect a vast alteration in the present trafficfrom
the north to the metropolis, as it will be the direct line for a
large portion of the northern traffic.
A'GIIOST STORY.—A. report is becoming very pre-
valent in Stamford, that since the death of an old lady, who
resided with some relatives in Broad-street, a variety of
noises are.nightly heard, such as thepanging of doors, and
knockings on the partitions, &c. We hear the occupiers are
becoming very•much alarmed about the matter, and that
arrangements have been made for le-party to sit up in the
house for the purpose of watching. Amongst the young
folks_ and gossips, in the town, this circumstance has given
rise to many conjectures and long faces. The credulous say
that the old lady having made a Just will, is returning to ad-
just it.--Boston Herald.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.

FROM THE EVENING PAPERS OF YESTERDAY.

GLOBE.—In the House of Commons last night
Lord Worsley moved, pursuant to notice, for "a Se-
lect Committee to inquire, into the mode of appoint-
ment, the duties, and the present system of remune-
rating the clerks to justices at petty sessions in
England and Wales, and to report the evidence
and their opinion thereon to the House." Long
before the attention of the Legislature was directed
to the subject, we had employed ourselves in col-
lecting from the provincial journals, and other sources,
proofs of the injustice and oppression of the existing
sustem. It is to us, therefore, especially gratifying
to find the purpose we aimed at likely to be effected.
The Noble Lord who took up the question in Parlia-.
ment obtained, in the course of last session, a return
of the fees paid to clerks in petty sessions; the num-
ber of fines inflicted ; and the persons who had been
sent to prison in default of payment of costs, or fines.
From these returns his Lordship selected a consider-
able number of instances in which a fearful amount
of suffering had been inflicted on poor persons by in-
ability to pay the fees upon summary convictions,
where the fine amounted only to a few pence :
" Parties were sent to prison, not because a fine was
inflicted of a serious nature, or one that indicated ade •
sire on the part of the magistrates to visit the person
convicted with severe punishment, but they were sent
to prison for the non-payment of fees and costs, super-
added to those small fines. That was a great evil, and
one that might be avoided by adopting a different system
of paying the clerks. If they were paid regular salaries
out of the county rates, the system would work better
than the present one.
Lord Worsley, as will be seen by a reference to
the speech with which his Lordship intoduced his
motion, made out a very strong case for inquiry, with
a view to the abrogation of the existing system. At
its close, Mr. M. Sutton stated, that " the attention of
the Right Hon. Gentleman at the head of his department
had been called to the subject, and that a Bill was in
preparation which would, he believed, be in a short
time introduced." Lord Worsley, on receiving this
assurance, withdrew his motion for a Committee.
We know of few subjects pertaining to thb adminis-
tration of justice which has more loudly called for at-
tention from the Executive than this. If, in connec-
tion with the mode of remuneration, the Bill to be
introduced provides for the direct appointment of the
clerks to petty sessions by the Crown, they might be
also employed to conduct prosecutions for offenees
committed. within their respective districts,' in a way
similar to that in which the Sheriffs-depute in Scotland
.are employed. 'Responsible to the Crown for the due
performance of their duties, they would be vigilant
and impartial ; and the ends of public justice would be'
,frequently promotedund secured by their means. The
clerk to the Petworth Bench has written to us, re-
questing us to state that the amount of damage and
costs in the case we referred to on Monday, was paid
by the defendant; and thus the imprisonment of
days assigned as the punishment, in default of payment,
was avoided. The poor woman—or rather. her hus-
band, or some one for him—having paid the amount,
and thus escaped the imprisonment, does not affect the
argument. The fact remains untouched. The
damage was threepence, and the costs 19s. 6d.—
seventy-eight times the amount of the fine ! Nor is
it disputed that the alternative of non-payment was
twenty •one days imprisonment. We have, however,
under the hand of Ellis, the clerk to the
Petworth justices, a statement of the way in which
' the 19-s. 6d. costs are made up. As the several items
are fixed by high authority, and macy be considered
as the established charge-s in such cases; we inseri
them for the information of the curious .40_, • •
Feei to the Clerk to the Magistrates, as fixed 4. d
by the Magistrates of the county at their
Quarter Sessions, in June, 1841, and con-
firmed by Sir NielAolas Tindal and Mr. Jus-
tice Bosanquet
Constable's charges, as settled by the Magis-
trates in Quarter Sessions assembled in Ja-
nuary, 1843, under 5 and 6 Viat.,. cap., 109

STANDARD—That it is for the ,interiest of the
community that all its land should be cultivates), and
cultivated up to the highest degree of productiveness
of which it is capable, will not be disputed ; dany
more than the corollary from this proposition, that the
Legislature is bound to promote this universal anal.
complete cultivation to the utmostofits power. These
abstract truths are, however, subject to great qua-
lification, arising out of the right of property.
When society concedes to a man an absohrte pro-
perty in anything, it concedes the right of abuse as
well as of use ; it is his, he may do with it what he
pleases ; and if he chose to employ it unprofitably,
society cannot interpose to correct his folly, unless the
misemployment produce some direct injury to others.
We may regret this, but it is a. necessary consequence
of that sacredness of proprietary right without
which society cannot be permanently maintained.
The right of property in land, however, cannot be
distinguished from any other right of property, with
out destroying it' altogether; and therefore it is
scarcely possible for the Legislature to promote culti-
,vation by any direct process. Parliament can-
' notes compel a nobleman to lay his park and pleasure-
grounds under the-plough, notwithstanding that his
dointe'noto:7-might conduce to his own profit; as
well :increasing the stock of • food and
the demand :ftirc labour in the country. The
park is his ; he 'Wafer, enjoying it as a luxury
to employing it asr—a nie sof profit, and to invade his
freedom in this respect would form . a precedent for
violating the citizen's villa gitidgi'LAnd, indeed, for a
legal superintendence of the daiieltic economy of
every family, with a• view to its sumps iiary reform.
There is, however, in the country an :445%;mt of
land still wholly uncultivated, though capablee,,of
profitable cultivation, variously estimated at Prow
two to eight millions of acres; which land is nOtef
confirmed in this useless state by reason of the choice
or caprice of proprietors, but by the defect of the
law, which in some measure disables the proprietors
from cultivating it as they could wish. Every one
sees that this is a case. urgently demanding the in-
terpilition of the Legislature ; an interposition, how-
,ever, ,Which shall not infringe upon any rights
ef!=proPerty, but facilitate their enjoyment. In..
the ease of waste lands, it is true, there is some diffi-
-culty, not merely in ascertaining the personality of
the :proprietcirS,.!but.the kind of property which each
ia entitled to'clairoffer,,as every one acquainted with
English law is aware;there may be many proprietors
of the Sene_ pawed of gr'odit4 each having a different
kind of • property ; the rriii*amd- minerals -.may
belong to one ; the produce XVII soil by tillage
or pasturage to another ; tee ::game.. ;to a
third-; a right of -.way to a sfoiiiilo 2D d
SO on., law for the inclosure, or otb-0• more
strict appropriation of wastes, .which would sot
:spect all these rightSt either by securing thern, or by-
giving an adequate Compensation, would be manifestly
;unjust to somebody. A.nd.here, indeed, is the hitch
which has cause.d such an amount of land to remain
so"; long comparatively unprofitable . to the. com-
Munity..- Lord Worsley!s Bill is a •well;Mea4
attempt to overcome the "serious, obstacle
question. 'Whether this, Bill will pass, or _whether,
having passed; it would effeetits object, are questions
which we are at ,present unable ' ta' answer ; even`
by guess. It has some benevolent provisions for
the poor, and more no doubt .will be added in its
progress ; but upon these we set less value than per-
haps others would be disposed to do, because with-;.
out at all depreciating the value of temporary.
relief of the distressed, which, without regard to the
'future effect, is as much an obligation upon Christian
states as upon Christian rieri we cannot but see
.that the most benevolent disposition possible of
the waste lands, of .the country- .Would operate
to the relief of the poor for bit a 'very bri4 season.
In an enterprising, money-making, and progres-
sive -country, such as this, there is 'no means ,of
dealing with destitution but keeping down the hum
ber of ,the destitute, and there is no means of keeping
down the -number of the destitute but by making
them a burden, a heavy burden, upon the more afflu-
ent. It was in thisway that the old poor-law worked to
restrain pauperism, which.* substituted new poor-law
has so frightfully increased. Under the old poor-law
indeed, any more than under the new, the penal bur-
deli was not properly applied to the great contribu-
tors to the ranks of poverty—" the manufaCturers of
cottons and of paupers," as the Edinburgh Review
truly called them=and so far the system was defec-
tive ; but let the burden be justly imposed, and a
poor-law cannot be too burdensome for the public
good cannot be too liberal. Meanwhile we wish all
success to Lord Worsley's phrpOse, which is on both
sides useful and benevolent. .

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(YESTERDAY.)
CLERKENWELL.
Martin Gahetiss, the landlord of 'the Swan Tavern,
Upper Holloway, was summoned to answer the com-
plaint of Inspector Thatcher, for unlawfully and know-
ingly permitting gaming on his premises.
Mr. Duncombe appeared for the defendant.
It appeared, from the evidence, that on the 27th ult. a
corn-dealer, named George -Bradley Shonnet, residing
in Gray's Inn-lane, went to defendant's house, accom-
panied by two young tradesmen, named Alfred and
and James Stroud. Shonnet deposed that having
drank a considerable quantity of wine, James
Stroud, challenged him to play a.t "four corners."
They did play, and he lost 681, 101 in money, a 201
promissory note, and a 361. bill. Shonnet further de-
posed that at the time he signed :the bill he was so
stupidly drunk as not to know what be was doing, and
recollecting himself in an hour afterwards be snatched
the bill out of Alfred's hands and tore it in pieces ; the
pieces were, however, collected by a friend of Stroud's,
and put together so as to form a whole, and subsequently
the bill was circulated and presented for payment to
Shonnet by a clerk of the Bank of England, but payment
was refused. It was found that the landlord was pre-
sent whilst they were playing for the bets, and must
have been cognisant of it. After the bill was torn
Shonnet deposed that James and Alfred Stroud attacked,
kicked, and beat him in a very violent manner.
Mr. Duncombe admitted that skittle-playing and
gambling had taken place, but denied that his client was
aware of it He called- several witnesses, but they did
not disprove the evidence for the prosecution.
Mr. GREENWOOD, fined the defendant Si. and costs.
Two men, named Rawley and Davis, were charged as
suspected persons. They were found lying in a brick-
field in Islington on Wednesday night, by police-consta-
ble 201 N, and on Davis were found a large number of
duplicates, some of them relating. to valuable articles.
A pocket-book was foUnd on Davis, in which was the
following entry, " This night we must get money, or lie
in the station-house." There were likewise tickets for-
the Royal Effingham Saloon in Whitechapel found on
Davis, and two bludgeons. .
.The prisoners said they were natives of Bedford Shire,
and had been sleeping in these brick-fields for the last
seven or eight months. On being interrogated by the
Magistrate, they acknowledged that they had subsisted
by begging, and had note been in any honest employ-
ment. They acknowledged having cut the bludgeons
in Hornsey wood. Davis refused to answer any ques-
tions touching the pocket-book or tickets.—They were
sent to the House of Correction for six weeks. •
MARYLEBONE. • •
Yesterday two boys, named William Matthie, and Jo-
seph Hood, the eldest of whom was not more than 14
years of age, were placed at the bar before the sitting
magistrate, Mr. Long, for re-examination, charged with
the following daring robbery:—
. The evidence gone into upon the first occasion went
to show that on the -previous Thursday, between one
and two o'clock; Reid, an active' officer of the E division,
was walking along Oxford-street; when, he observed the
two prisoners close behind a lady, who was going east-
ward ; he distinctly saw Hood lift up the- said lady's
Pocket, and draw therefrom a purse, which he handed
to Matthie, who immediately put it into his pocket ;
they‘then ran, away, pursued by- witness, who succeeded
in taking both of them into custody. In the way to
the station Matthie dropped the purse and ran off, but
witness having cried " stop thief,' as loud as he could,
he (Matthie) was speedily captured," and with his com-
panion, locke,d up. The prisoners were both searched
at the station-house, and on Matthie was found lOs 6d.
in silver. The purse contained a bank of England note
for 101., together with a sovereign, a half-sovereign, two-
half-crowns, and a sixpence. The -constable added that
in his anxiety to lay hold of the prisoners, he altogether
lost sight of the lady Who had been robbed. •
Mrs. Catherine Ann Cobden was now sworn, and
stated that on the day in question (7th inst.), she left
her home in Newman-street Oxford-street, with her
purse in the pocket of her dress, at twelve o'clock, and-
that on her return she found that her pursp and money
were gone. Mrs Cobden identified the pnrse and. the
.101 note, and .she also spoke positively with regard to
her having taken out with her the gold and silver eoins
• alluded-to, making up in the whole 11/. 15s. 6d.
The prisoners, who thongh young as regards years,
are old in crime, and well known to the -police, were
committed'fbr trial.

ing to persuade him to go home, After some time-
the defendapt threw his hat . into the carriage-way,
and on -wftnss.4 picking it ,up and returning it- to
him, he strnck hkablow of tremendous force on the cheek
with his clenched4tifik.hich knocked him-down. On getting
up the- defendant again knocked him down, and theii fell

tion-house. : • .
• Two other charges. Of violent assault te nreferred against
the defendant by police constables who assisted in taking him
-into custody:
The defendant said that he bad.drank to exesid, and was
quite unconscious of what had: oceursed. He was; however,
most sincerely sorry for his misconduct. :.

➢ir. ILtuDivicx said, that in such a iiagrant case an
ample must be made of the evil-doer, and laelsbould there-'t

saults he had committed, and 2/. for the third, as itv,yists pot
of such a violent character as the preceding ones. .
The defendant immediately paid the 121. and was liberated.

- QUEEN' S-SOUARE.
Dennis Coughlan, a crossing-sweeper, was charged by' the
authorities of St. Margaret's parish- with refusing to support
his'wife and child, who thereby became' chingeable to that
parish.
His wife, a quiet, subdued-looking woman, attired-'in the
workhouse garb, said that her husband was continually ill-
treating her, which compelled her to leave him and to. reside
*with her mother. He refused to allow the merest trifle for
her maintenance or that of his child. He swept a crossing
in Bridge7street, Westminster, immediately adjacent to the
law courtsand the Houses of Parliament, and was in the
habit of taking a good deal. of money from benevolent pe-
14strianS; sometimes as much as 9s. A day. She had left him,
Milgsto his conductofine times, and each time on her re-
hitt-She had been, obliged to leave him,,so that it would be
worse- than useless to make another attempt to live with him.
• Coughlanlyho was very decently dressed, said that the
crossing in tot *et weather yielded no more than is 6d: or
2s. a day ; in fact, tlltil•was.only six pod months in thp year,
and he had been Isidatip with rheumatics for five months.
He was willing to. 4s kristjkgkforgive the past, or to allow
his wife Is. a week, - •
The Clerk of the Court s , tly e crossing on which he
bestowed his attention was one of in London; and
yielded a vast deal more than CoughlaST had stated.—He
spent all his earnings in drink. • -
Mr. BURRELL expressed his surprise at the smallness of the
suin, and intimated to Coughlan that he should commit him
for a month to the House of if .he did not, allow
his wife more than the sum he bad stated.
Coughlan said he would allow her. 2s. a week.
His offer was accepted, and he was discharged.
