A valuation jury was summoned to attend at tke Court-house of
Maryborough, on Monday, for the purpose of investigating the claims
of those who refused the compensation offered by the railway Direc-
tors. Each juror will receive two guineas a day, car-hire, lunch, and
dinner, for his services, the expense to be defrayed by the claimant, if
awarded less than the sum offered, and by the Directors, if otherwise.
The Directors of the Cashel Railway summoned 70 workmen and
car-owners for a combination to raise wages on the line between Athy
and Carlow. After the case was gone into, the defendants expresSed
regret for what they had done, and proposed to submit and go back
to work at the usual wages. The Athy bench, however, inflicted a
fine of 3s. each, and costs of Court. The wages of these men vary
from Is. 4d. to 3s. Bd. a day.

DIABOLICAL ACT.

DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE SHEFFIELD BRANCH OF
THE :MIDLAND RAILWAY.

Between the hours of six and seven o'clock on Saturday evening
last some villain or villains in human form, with an object little short
of a desire for the wholesale massacre or mutilation of his' or their
fellow-creatures, committed a most wicked and diabolical act, by
which a dreadful accident was caused on the Midland line of railway,
close by the Holmes station, where a short branch of about half a
mile in length connects the Sheffield and Rotherham Railway—now
amalgamated with the Midland—with the main line at Masborough.
At half-past seven o'clock a train left the Sheffield station, consisting
of three passenger carriages, containing between sixty and seventy
passengers, a parcel van, and eleven luggage waggons, to join the
down train from London, which was due at the Masborough station
at eight o'clock, and with which it was to proceed forward to Leeds.
The parcel van and luggage waggon were placed next the engine
and tender, and the passenger carriages at the tail of the train.
When the train arrived at the Holmes station, the engine driver in
conformity with the general orders from the superintendent of the
line, Mr. Somerville, slackened his speed, as in passing from the
Sheffield and Rotherham line there is a very sharp curve round
the corner of the station. At this place the train was not pro-
ceeding at a greater speed than ten or twelve miles an hour, and had
not passed the station more than fifty or sixty yards, when it was
suddenly stopped by some obstacle, and the engine and tender with
the force of the shock were completely lifted off the rails, and thrown
on their broadside across both up and down lines ; the engine-driver,
a man named John Edwards, and the fireman, named Hugh Tis-
sing ton, were thrown a distance of 10 or 12 yards, and lay insensible
for some minutes. Three of the luggage waggons and the parcel-
van were thrown off the line ; and the guard, John Ducker, who was
seated on the last carriage but one with his back to the engine was
thrown with great violence upon the roof of the carriage in front of
hinf, and, fortunately, escaped injury by catching hold of the rails on
the top of the carriage. Two of the waggons were smashed to pieces,
and a third rendered useless by the concussion. The shock was felt
severely by all the passengers, who were thrown from their seats ;
but, providentially, from being at so great a distance from the
engine, none of them received any injury beyond the shock
and a few bruises. The guard immediately dismounted, and found
the engine-driver and fireman creeping as well as they could with
the contusions they had received to an edge bottom. The passen-
gers, as soon as possible, got out of the carriages, and search was then
made to ascertain the cause of the accident, when it was found that
a set of " points" used for putting waggons on a side line had been
wedged open with an iron chair and a piece of limestone, so that it
was impossible for a train to pass over without being thrown off the
line. The tw3 men who were injured were, as soon as possible, con-
veyed to Sheffield, and surgical aid procured ; they are now fast re-
covering. The engine was removed soon after six •'clock, and It
required the assistance of three other engines to slide It on the line
to the engine-house at Macborough, as the wheels were quite
motionless.

The Midland Company, anxious for the public safety, have this
(Tuesday) morning issued placards offering a reward of 100 guineas
to any person who shall produce evidence to cause the conviction of
the perpetrators of this villanous act.

DESTRUCTIVE

FIRE AT SIR

CHARLES PRICE'S.

Yesterday afternoon, about a quarter before two o'elock, an
alarming fire broke out in the warehouses belonging to Sir
Charles Price and Co., oil and colourmen, situate at the
bottom of William-street, New Bridge-street, the storehouse
abutting on the north-west side of the Thames, nearly
adjoining Blackfriars-bridge—at the right hand of which are
the City Chartered Gas Works—the only intervening build-
ing being that of Messrs. Hoppe, coal-merchants, the gaso-
meters being immediately contiguous. So large a body of
gas being in such near contact to the flames naturally caused
serious apprehensions in the neighbourhood—apprehensions
which were considerably increased when it became known
that several tuns of oil, vitriol, and turpentine were upon
the burning premises; as well also, it was feared, a large
quantity of gunpowder. Scarcely a quarter of an hour
elapsed before sixteen or seventeen engines were upon the
spot, all of which were quickly supplied with Water ; and in
a few minutes more, the floating engine usually moored on
the eastern side of Southwark-bridge was brought up, and,
it fortunately being high water, placed almost close to the
burning pile. As this engine sent forth a volume of water.
exceeding a ton per minute, the effect was speedily seen in
the partial subjugation of the flames, and it was hoped that
all danger would shortly be at an end. These hopes, how-
ever, were not realised; for the conflagration again burst
forth with redoubled fury, caused by the bursting of some
carboys containing vitriol and turpentine; The burning liquid
immediately spread the fire all around, and, running with the
greatest.rapidity into the Thames, ignited some of the coal
barges, of which two were much injured and sunk. In its
progress the lighted vitriol came into contact with two fire-
engines which had been brought into the interior, the men
engaged on which were hastily compelled to make their
escape, but the whole of the woodwork was entirely
destroyed, leaving nothing but the iron behind. One of the
brigade establishment, however, we are sorry to state, was
not so fortunate as his companions—as the sudden irruption
of the flames scorched him so severely that he was carried
to *St. Bartholomew's Hospital with but little expecta-
tion of surviving the injury. The lighted turpentine
then floated upon the river, and soon caught one por-
tion of the floating-engine, when those in the direction
caused her to be moored near the middle of the Thames ;
but the flames caused so much fright and consternation
among about fifty coal-men, who were engaged in work-
ing her, that the whole jumped pell-mell into the water.
This incident occasioned great confusion, and the efforts
of those who were near in boats were of course directed
to the extrication of the men who were in such immi-
nent peril, though we cannot state positively that some
unfortunate individual may not have perished. Indeed
it was said that two individuals are missing who were
known to have been assisting. The floating-engine
having thus become suddenly unmanned, the con-
flagration increased for a time, amd spread itself,
on the left to the premises of Messrs. Capel, coal-
merchants, which are partially destroyed—and on the
right, to those of Messrs. Hoppe, adjoining the gas-works,
the whole interior of which is levelled to the ground, leaving
only the outer wall facing the river standing. Now the
fears of the inhabitants were raised to a painful pitch, lest
there should be an explosion of gas—in which case there
must have been fearful devastation. However, when con-
sternation and apprehension were at their height, the flames
sensibly diminished, as the consequence of the very great and
well-directed exertions which were made by the firemen. At
four o'clock the fire was mastered, without further damage
than the destruction .of the premises belonging to Messrs.
Price and Co., and Messrs. Hoppe, and considerable injury to
those of Messrs. Capel.
The origin of the fire is not known with accuracy ; but it is
generally supposed to have been occasioned by the running
over of some turpentine in the boiling-house.
Immediately that the directors of the gas-works became
aware of the imminent danger in which they were placed,
messengers were dispatched to all the shopkeepers and large
establishments in the vicinity to request that they would
instantly light up the gas in their various premises, and thus,
by lowering the quantity in the gasometer, considerably de-
crease the amount of damage that would have occurred had
an explosion taken place. This request was of course com-
plied with, and the shops in Fleet- street and neighbourhood
consequently presented the unusual appearance of being all
lighted up at mid-day. Gas was also withdrawn from the
gasometers, by being allowed to escape at a distance from the
scene of conflagration—the atmosphere thus becoming im-
pregnated with a strong gaseous odour. The promptitude of
the directors in adopting these precautionary measure is de-
serving of the highest commendation, whose forethought
might thus have been the means of preventing a much more
fearful calamity than even the fire itself.
FURTHER AND LATEST PARTICULARS.
The fire originated in that part of the premises termed the
turpentine warehouse, a large brick building, sixty feet long
and fifty feet wide, situate on the western side of the works,
and adjoining the property of Messrs. Hoppe.
The flames at one time ascended at least 100 feet above the
buildings ; they were seen at a great distance, and the smoke
spread over Bridge-street, Fleet-street, Chancery-lane, and
the river, in such dense masses, as to obscure the light of day,
and render respiration extremely difficult. The heat Was
also insupportable where the engines were placed, and was
felt at a considerable'distance. The man who lost his life is
supposed to have been working at the engine that was de-
stroyed ; in all probability he missed his way when he re-
treated, and, instead of jumping into the river, became fixed
against a wooden gate, and was compelled to remain in that
situation until the flames came upon him, and burnt him to
death. A very small portion of his body was found, which
was instantly conveyed to the bone-house to await a coroner's
inquest. He is supposed to be a man who was occasionally
employed about the wharfs.

It lle alarm of those whose friends are
missing to state that, at the conclusion of an inquest, lasi
night, Mr. Payne, the City Coroner, said he had, up to that
time, received intimation of only one death.
The loss in the aggregate, it is of course at present impos-
sible to ascertain, but up to eight o'clock last night it was
thought to exceed 20,000/.
. .

It is impossible to award too much praise to the gallant
men by whose efforts this most fearful fire was extinguished.
From the hour of three to sunset Blackfriars-bridge was
almost impassable, and strongly reminded several elderly
gentlemen of the terrific fire some fifty years since, at the
Albion Mills, on the Surrey side of the river, when, as a
subsequent distich ran t—
" The fire blazed so fierce and fast,
Blackfriars-bridge could not be passed."

IVIA.HKET INTELLIGENCE.

I(From the London New Price Current of Sept. 16.)
Sumit.—To-day British Plantation Sugar was in good
demand, and Z.'archants obtained an advance on the rates of

transacted in all sorts had tnZ ,marlicl been better supplied.
A public sale of 100 hhds of Barbadoei briskly at a
rise on the rates of the last auction of 6d, fine yelit;ly fetch-
ing 548 6d, good 52s 6d to 535, and middling 50s 6d tO 52,3
per mt.
REFINED.—To-dal the home demand was excellent for
refined goods, and prices closed firmly; brown lumps for the
scale at 66s to 66s 6d, and standard lumps 67s 6d to 68s per
cwt. The supply is getting inadequate for the demand.
Bonded Crushed Sugar is neglected. _ _

117 bags of Bengal (Cossipore) sold at high rates, fine strong
grainy white fetched 635, damp 635, and sugar drainage da-
maged 622 per cwt. Of Bengal of all sorts some parcels were

P6REIGN.—To-day the market was better supplied with
most kinds of Foreign, but there was little desire shown to
operate on the spot ; at auction but a part only sold of 1,662
boxes of yellow Havannah, at a decline on former rates
of is to is 6d per cwt ; 690 barrels of Cuba
uscovado only partly sold at barely forms: rates,

value. Privately a floating cargo of; white Macao has been
sold at 30s for a near port, one of Porto Rico, two of yellow
Havannah, one of Bahia, and one of Pernambuco, upon
lower terms.
COFFEE.—This afternoon an increased desire was shown
to purchase Ceylon Coffee, but higher rates being asked,
checked business. There was less demand for Foreign Coffee
privately, and 782 bags Bahia at auction taken in at 35s for
very good ordinary, 32s 6d for good ordinary, and 27s to 27s
6d for low ordinary. At the public sale of Coffee held in
Holland, prices have declined 4s to 5s per cwt.
TEA.—For Congott the demand has been very good, and
prices are still on the rise, the town and country trade for
the most part being inclined to get stocked at present mode-
rate
rates. Pouchong has been purchased with increased
freedom, clean at 6d to 10d, and out of condition at Sd to
; the supply is decreasing, and the tendency of prices
is still upwards. In Twankay the business transacted
has been on a more extended scale, and at stiffer raters;
Hyson has been purchased with more freedom, and there are
not sellers upon former terms. In Young Hyson and Hyson
skin the transactions are upon a more extended scale at late
rates. The value of good and fine scented Orange Pekoe is
2s 10d to 3s, but there has not been much doing. Gunpowder
has been purchased with increased freedom, Canton sorts at
2s 2d to 2s Bd. and Hyson kind 2s 9d to 4s 4d. For Imperial
the demand is increasing, Canton sort at Is 10d to 2s 6d, and
Hyson kind 2s 8d to 3s 6d per lb. To-day there was a good
demand for black Pepper, and 1,525 bags Sumatra at auction
were sold at very full prices. Nutmegs are still much wanted,
and 3 boxes at auction went at high prices ; ungarbled brown
mixed with small at 4s 9d to 4s 10d, wormy 2s 6d. One
box Mace brought 4s 8d for mid thick red.
Srnirrs.—Jamaica has been purchased with more freedom,
and full rates have been paid for all descriptions. Leeward
Island has been in excellent request, and fetched stiffer prices.
Demerara is wanted, and prices are fully as. high. Calcutta
has been in good demand, and prices are still
on the rise. In Brandy there has been a
business transacted, at a further advance on the rates okd
last
week. Geneva for exportation is much wanted, and, owing
to the short supply, buyers are compelled to pay further ad-
vanced rates. British Corn Spirits remain firm at 10s 2d
per gallon, nett cash.
TALLOW.—Prices are not so firm for Russian, but since our
list report the demand from the town and country trade has
been good on the spot. For forward delivery there has been
a good deal doing, and 41s to 41s 3d are the rates paid for the
last three months. Home made Tallow is greatly wanted,
and fetch 41s 6d to 425, nett cash. The supply is still under
that of former seasons. For other sorts prices are fully as
high.
COCHINEAL.—There has been a very good demand for all
descriptions by private treaty, and a further improvement
has taken place in prices. Holders show firmness, and sup-
ply the market sparingly.
Oars.—A considerable increase has taken place in the de-
mand for Palm Oil, and large parcels have been disposed of
privately at advanced rates. In Rape a good deal has been
done at higher prices. Cocoa Nut has been purchased with
increased freedom, and prices are well supported, although the
market has been better supplied. In Linseed Oil the opera-
tions are upon a more extended scale, but not at better prices.
Olive Oil has been sold to a large extent at extreme prices.
Sperm Oil has been in excellent request privately, and bring
stiffer rates. In Cod Oil little has been done, although there
are sellers at further reduced rates. Seal is not much in re-
quest at present for home consumption or exportation, and
a decline in prices has occurred.
INDIGO.—The demand for East India for home consumption
and exportation has been extremely limited, and the rates
taken are rather under those of the last quarterly sales. The
quantity declared for public competition has been increased to
16,789 chests. For Spanish the market is in a dull state, and
the tendency of prices is downwards.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
WORSHIP-STREET.

, Yesterday, after the night charges had been dispdsed of,
Mr. Vann, the solicitor, addressing Mr. Bingham, said that
he had an application to make upon a subject which he con-
ceived to be of great public importance, and not only: mate-
rially affected the respectability of that Court, but also the
character of the profession to which he had the honour to
belong.
Mr. Vann then stated, that the matter of complaint to
which he invited the Magistrate's attention referred to the
conduct of certain individuals who had been allowed to
practise in the capacity of attorneys at that Court, without
the slightest legal qualification, or even shadow of just pre-
tension to that character. The persons to whom he alluded
might be comprised under two distinct classes, the first of
whom, though they had received a professional education,
had been unable to take out their annual certificate of
qualification, and the second of whom consisted of persons
who, although wholly ignorant of the principles and prac-
tice of the law and generally of disreputable character,
were in the habit of passing themselves off as clerks to gen-
tlemen actually on the roll, and not only caused great injury
to the reputation of the persons so falsely represented, but
were also in the practice of accepting such petty retainers as
could never be offered to respectable members of the profes-
sion. The injurious effect of this conduct upon the public, he
was satisfied, required no comment, but the detriment it in-
flicted upon the , qualified practitioners would be manifest
when he stated' that" the aggregate cost of their certificates
alone amounted to no less a sum than 85,0001. per annum.
He begged to draw the magistrate's attention, in reference to
the persons last mentioned, to the 6th and 7th of Victoria,
cap. 73, commonly called :Lord Langdale's Act, by one sec-
tion of which all persons practising after its passing, on the
22d of August, 1843, without being duly qualified by cer-
tificate, were incapable of recovering any fees, and the 32d
section of which enacted, that any attorney or solicitor who
should knowingly or wilfully permit or suffer his name to
be in any way made use of, in any action or suit upon the
account or for the profit of any unqualified person, should
and might, upon proof made thereof upon oath to the satis-
faction of any superior court, be struck off the rolls, and for
ever after be disabled from practising as an attorney or
solicitor; and it should further be lawful for the said court to
commit such unqualified person to the prison of such court,
without bail or mainprise, for any term not exceeding one
year. The Learned Gentleman then referred to the conduct
of several persons who had been in the habit of so acting,
and with respect to one of whom he stated that he had re-
ceived an answer to a communication he had addressed to
Mr. Timm, the solicitor to the Board of Stamps and Taxes,
which he begged to hand to the magistrate, and which offi-
cially notified that the certificate of the person in question
had expired in November, 1842, and had not since been re-
newed, although the magistrate must be well aware that he
had been constantly engaged up to the present time in the
prosecution and defence of cases of every description at that
Court. He (Mr. Vann) could assure the bench that he had
not the slightest personal feeling in the matter, but the prac-
tices of the persons he had alluded to had been so re-
peatedly complained of by the judges at the several criminal
courts, in almost every session, and were so seriously detri-
mental to the actual members of the profession and the
public, that he felt himself compelled to draw the attention
of the Court to the subject, in the hope that the magistrate
would upon any future occasion, where there could be any
doubt of the fact, require the production of the certifi-
cate of any person appearing before him in the character
of a solicitor. _ _

Mr. BoronAm said that he entirely concurred in the views
expressed by the Learned Gentleman, and was not only de-
sirous of furthering them, but had himself received express
directions from the Secretary of Stale fur the exclusion of
all persons who were not legally qualified to practise. The
facts just disclosed by the applicant had not been previously
brought under his notice, and he had not been aware of
their existence in that Court ; but now that he had been so
satisfactorily apprised of them, he should certainly take
the most effectual means in his power for their future sup-
pression.
In the course of the day one of the persons referred to in
the above observations having presented himself, to conduct
the defence in a trivial case of footway Obstruction,
Mr. Vine, the chief clerk, comnimilcated to him the sub-
stance of the complaint before stated, and formally required
the production of his certificate of qualification before he
entered upon the matter in dispute.
This demand completely startled the pseudo-attorney, Who
was manifestly wholly unprepared for its being made; and,
after several evasive and irrelevant observations about pro-
ducing his qualifications and recommendations upon a future
occasion, finally, upon the demand being inexorably repeated
by the chief clerk, declined to accede to it, and abruptly
quitted the Court, evidently greatly disconcerted, and to the
no small chagrin and astonishment of the client who had
" retained " him.
THAMES.

Yesterday, Thomas John Moss, a young waterman, was
finally examined, charged with stealing 24/. 15s. 6d., the
property of Robert Prest, in his dwelling-house.
The robbery, which had all the characteristics of a most
expert burglary, save that it was not done within the hours
which would constitute it One Under the Act, was most adroitly
executed. The particulars are rather curious. On the
eVenlng of Tuesday, the 2d instant, Mr. Prest, who is fore-
mane to Messili, Pnvett and Co., millers, who have, extensive
premises preniiSes near Execution-dock, left the cash receirv.dter

waterside; and a ladder, whichhad been lying flat in the
yard on the previous evening when Mr. Prest left at six o'clock
f.dr the part of the premises which he occupied was found.
reared up against the building next day. Information was
given to the police, but snfipicion was at fault for a consider-
able time, owing to the clever manner in which the robbery
had been effected, and by a single agent. At length Inspector
Evans, hearing that the prisoner was more flush of money
than his presumed means would warrants and was spending
it with reckless profusion,. contrived to procure information
which warranted the prisoner's apprehension, and he was
brought up to this court on Friday last. It was then shown
that about nine o'clock on the evening when Mr. Prest left the
money safe three hours before, the prisoner met a person
named Joseph Nathan, whom, together with a couple
of young women, he treated to some ale and
rae-g,- ,-Wifith - he .- payed - -for in copper money.
e directed Nathan to call a cab, in which he drove
to that person's house, paying the fare also in copper money.
Whilst there he gave Nathan, whom he had seen only once
or -twice before, four half-sovereigns, and ss. in silver to his
wife. From thence Nathan accompanied him to No. 11,
Devonshire-street, Commercial-road, where he was equally
T10ft1443 of hie money, awl. mei:mated. for being ao 41,4, by
