Deposit, 21. 2s. per Share.
Arrangements are in progress for the formation of a Company to
make an Atmospheric Railway from Dorking (or Epsom) to
Brighton, through Horsham and Shoreham, and from Horsham to
Arundel, thereby affording (either by means of a junction with the
Direct London and Portsmouth Atmospheric Radway, at Dorking, or
the Croydon Atmospheric Railway, at EpSom) to the intermediate very
populous and wealthy district the important advantages of a direct
communication with the metropolis, and also with the coast, from
which it is at present excluded, as well as forming the best connect-
ing link between that district and the ports of Shoreham, Arundel
Portsmouth, and Southampton, and the principal towns of Surrey,
Sussex, Kent, and Rants.

WA ADS WOR TR.

Jane Hawkins, cock in the service of Mrs. Amelia Tritton,
sen., of Plough-lane, Battrrica, was charged with being con-
ned, with two whet- pershns, who stand remanded, in plun-
dering that lady of a large amount of property.
Mr. Gilham attended fcr the pro,ecution, and Mr. Games
(or the defence. _ _

After hearing witnesses, the prisoner was remanded until
Saturday next, when she will be brcuAlit up with the other pri-
soners, _ .

ft.tr. PAYNTEa refused to take bail in any amount.
John Tannoch • engineer, at the College of Civil Engineers,
Putney, was finally examined upon a charge of committing an
assault upon Anne Tannoch, his wife.
The assault of which the wife now complained, took place
on Monday night week. The prisoner came home drunk,
accused his wife of infidelity, and then with his iron lists struck
her on the head and face until she was a mass of blood, and it is
extremely probable that the prisoner wound have ended his
I,rutal attack by murdering his victim, 'hot for the interference
of a Mrs. Chance, who rushed into the hou-e, and found the
poor creature pleading for mercy. The surgeon who dressed
the wounds described one on the head as being an incised
wound made by some sharp instrument, and consequently the
prisoner was remanded for the attendance of a medical man.
The complainant and Mrs. Ci:ance both said the prisoner used
no instrument. _ _

The prisoner, in an icsolcnt tone, said he had nothing to
sad —he wts sorry for it. It was done, and couldn't be helped.
PAYNTEIt described the assault as the most brutal he
had ever had to asijudicato upon. It ought to have gene for
trial, but the rife was evidently reluctant to prosecute, and,
therefore, he should order the priioner to pay 51., or in default
to be committed for two months with hard labour.
Committed in default.

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLANQUE.)
IN BE PEMELLER.
The Court was occupied the whole of the morning in hear-
ing Mr. Cooke in opposition to this bankrupt, who came up for
examination on adjournment from the 15th of August.
The bankrupt, who was described as a coal merchant, of
Tysoe-street, Wilmington-square, is well known in the sporting
circles.
Tl.e examination to-day was principally directed to the dis-
posal of several valuable guns to Messrs. Brawn, Boydell,
Richardson, Dutt, and Co. One gun alone was valued at 80
guineas.
The bankrupt said some of his books had been destroyed by
his children. He store that the guns had been given in satis-
faction of bond fide debts. He had not parted with any dogs.
The COMMISSIONER said tkat, on the whole, he considered
an adjournment advisable, to afford time for further inquiry,
and he considered the case had better stand over till he could
hear it himself. In the interim, the bankruptmust content him-
self with an order for subsistence-money from this time, but in
prospective to be paid, if on his next examination all the
doubtful points were cleared up.
The case was not over till two o'clock.:

GUILDHALL.-(THIS DAY.)
A person, who was stated to be most respectably connected,
but who was most miserably dressed, and who gave her name
as Sarah Pennell, was brought before Alderman Kelly, charged
with breaking two squares of glass, value 51.
Jane Niel, of the Red Cross public-house, said that about
eight o'clock that morning the prisoner came into the house and
threatened to break all the windows en Mr. White's premises.
Orders had been given far same time past not to serve her
with liquor. She left the house, and presently afterwards wit-
ness heard a great smash, and on going outside observed a crowd
about the prisoner, who had a stone in her hand. A police-
man shortly came up and she was given into custody. There
mere two squares of plate-glass broken, which would cost from
41. to 5/, to replace. She was not intoxicated, and used most
violent language
Police-constable 163 said that she was well known.

Alderman KELLY said she must pay the 51., which not
being forthcoming, she was committed to prison for two
months, and on her release to find sureties for her good beha-
viour for the next six months. •

The DIRECTORS hereby given
fall due on the 51.11 of April next, tl
thirty days from that date.
The Premiums are payable yearly, half-yearly, or quarterly, on the
sth of January, sth of April, sth of July, and sth of October, either
of which several days constitutes the commencement of the year to
Members. Persons, therefore, desirous of entering the Society, us
Members, on the sth of April next, should appear, or lodge their pro-
posals, at the Office, on or before that day.
So various are the plans now before the public for the Assurance of
Life, that It may seem difficult to make choice between them. As,
however, all prudent offices make a considerably higher charge in the
annual premium than experience ha-s hitherto shown to be necessary,
but differ in the mode of disposing of the surplus or profit, the fol-
lowing classint•ation may be made :-
Ist. Proprietary Offices, whe:e all the surplus from premiums and
other profits is divlded, exclusively, amongst the Share or Stockholders.
2d. Offices where the same is divided in various proportions be-
tween Share and Stockholders and the Assured.
3d. Offices of a strictly. mutual character, jelure ther,WWW9t.the,
profit is equitally dbitilhated amongst the Asstfred only. -
The 'METROPOLITAN, which is of the last class, was established
in 1835, and although ne paid agents for town or country have at any
time been employed, nor any expensive system of advertising
resorted to, yet its advantages have been so well appreciated by the
public; that the annual premiums already exceed 50,0001.
In consequence of the prosperous state. of the Society's aTfairs, the
Annual Premiums of Members of Five Years' standing hal'e been re-
duced Forty-two and a-Half per cent.
A plan of the Society, with Tables of Rates, may be obtained, on
application, at the Office.

11.11117 AND POZZON.

In the case of France v. Dawson, tried at Oxford
before Mr. Baron Platt, the jury found for the plaintiff,
damages 25/. This was an action brought by the father
of a servant girl, who had lived with the defendant
Dawson (the governor of the Salop county gaol) to re-
cover 251., 61. of which was for maintaining an illegiti-
mate child, of which Dawson is the father, and has
acknowledged his paternity aforetime by different pay-
ments, being the alleged seducer of the plaintiff's
daughter. In his defence, the defendant attempted to
cast imputations on the character of the girl. This un-
manly proceeding, however, availed him nothing.
At Worship-street two young men, named William
Carter and David Herbert, were charged with having
been concerned with another man, not in custody, in
committing a violent and unprovoked assault upon Mr.
S. Vincent Phillips, a clerk in the Bank of England, re-
siding at Barnsbury-park, Islington, and also with the
commission of other outrages. The prisoners had been
amusing themselves with throwing stones at the passen-
gers in Shepherd-and-Shepherdess-fields, and on any
remonstrance being made, they knocked down the re-
monstrant. Several females had suffered by the vio-
lenee. Herbert was fined 10s., or a fortnight's impri-
sonment ; Carter was fined 205., or a month's imprison-
ment. _ _

James Ward, a lad 15 years old, one of three young
urchins who were amusing themselves with throwing
stable-dung at persons passing through Golden-lane, was
fined ss. at Guildhall for wilful damage done to a me-
chanic's best coat, and being unable to pay, he was com-
mitted to Bridewell for 14 days to be kept on bread and
water. _ .

Esther Gilbert, 19 years of age, charged with com-
mitting several robberies whilst in service as house-
maid in the family of Lionel 011iver, Esq., of Wimble-
don-common, was fully committed from Wandsworth.
London, England, 1845-03-27

Then if the Limerick and Waterford Company be limited
to make their line between Waterford and Tipperary,
on which is the heavier work, and lose the portion be-
tween Tipperary and Limerick, 'on which the works are
light, their anticipated profits will be so curtailed as to
make it doubtful whether it may be worth their while to
construct the line at all. Besides, though the Great
Souther❑ and Western Company claim it as a palpable
appendage to their trunk line, their opponents claim it
as a part of what is sufficiently important to be consi-
dered a trunk line of itself. Again, experience has
proved that a branch line is never so well worked as a
main line.

On the whole, therefore, we are of opinion that the
public reasons for granting the portion in dispute to the
Waterford and Limerick Company are stronger than
those for giving it to the Great Southern and Western
Company.
At the same time it is necessary that the public
should in this case be defended against the establishment
of any monopoly ; and in the event of either obtaining
the sanction of Parliament, it will be necessary to permit
the other to use the line under such restrictions as may
be thought advisable.
We have been told that negotiations having this ob-
ject in view are going forward between the parties, and
bare reason to believe that the companies will come to
such an arrangement for using the line in common, as
may be conducive to the benefit of the public. The ar-
rangement to which we have alluded must necessarily
extend to an alteration in the levels of one or both of the
lines at the point of intersection. However, lest it might
be overlooked, we beg to direct the attention of the Com-
mittee on the Bill to this matter, and to state our opi-
nion that neither the Great Southern and Western Ex-
tension, nor the Waterford and Limerick Railway,ougbt
to be sanctioned unless a perfectly safe and convenient
method be devised for running the carriages fr( m one
line to the other. _ _ _

The other material point of the Waterford and
Limerick scheme is their approach to Waterford. From
representations which have been made to us, as well as
from a careful examination of the plans and sections, it
is clear that great expense will be incurred, without any
equivalent advantage, by taking the line to the north in-
stead of continuing it on the south side of the river Suir.
Two bridges will have to be built across this river, ac-
cording to the proposed scheme,one of which, at Granny,
is said to be almost impracticable ; at all events it must
be enormously expensive, and it is alleged that it will in-
terfere with the navigation.
It would exceed our duty to point out a new line to
the promoters of the Waterford and Limerick Railway
scheme which they ought to adopt, even if we possessed
the means for doing so. We ca❑ only direct the atten-
tion of Parliament to the subject, adding that there are
no public reasons which ought, in our opinion, to be de-
cisive against the general scheme, although the portions
to which we have adverted might be advantageously
modified in detail.

THIRD EDITION OF “ THE SUN."

have received many complaints from Subscribers who are frequently
disappointed in not receiving the Third Edition. The fault rests en-
tirely with the News-agent who serves them, and who thereby not only
injures the paper, but does injustice to his customer. This injustice is
still further aggravated by an extra charge of a halfpenny (the Post-
office fee) being made for NOT supplying the latest or Third Edition.
This Edition contains the Latest News: Parliamentary Debates up to a
Quarter to Seven—The " Gacettes" on Tuesday and Friday, together
with the " Prices Current" of all the Markets, as well as Qfficia
Prices of Shares in Railways, ite. &c.—The Belting at Tatter:lairs on
Monday and Thursday—The latest (closing) Prices of the Funds—
The Proceedings in Railway Committees up to the close—and all other
news arriving in London apor three o'elook in the afternoon, when the
Second or Evening Edition goes to press.
In distant parts of the country, the Third Edition contains news TWELVE
HOURS IN ADVANCE, a matter of importance to those who want early
intelligence.
In those places where the evening mail arrives in the middle of the night,
the " MORNING SUN," containing ALL the Debates, &c. itc, will
answer best, and Subscribers can suit themselves accordingly.
Respectable Agents will always supply the proper paper; but where any
wilful neglect is experienced, we recommend parties to write to " The
Sun" office, 112, Strand, where prompt attention will be paid to their
representations.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

•
A new tragic drama entitled Metamora, or the Last of
the Whampanogs, was produced at this theatre last even-
ing, with Mr. Edwin Forrest as the hero Metamora.
This chief of the red men is already well known to the
majority of our readers as Philip of Pokanoket, the hero
of one of the most touching tales in Washington Irving's
Sketch-book. The character of Metamora is thus drawn
by Geoffrey Crayon:—" He was a patriot attached to his
native soil—a prince true to his subjects and indignant
of their wrongs—a soldier daring in battle, firm in ad-
versity, patient of fatigue, of hunger, of every variety of
bodily suffering, and ready to perish in the cause he had
espoused—proud of heart, with an untameable love of
natural liberty, he preferred to enjoy it among the beasts
of the forest, or in the dismal and famished recesses of
swamps and morasses, rather than bow his haughty
spirit to submission, and live independent and despised
in the ease and luxury of the settlements. With heroic
qualities and bold achievements that would have graced
a civilised warrior, and have rendered him the theme of
the poet and the historian, he lived a wanderer and a
fugitive in his native land, and went down like a lonely
bark foundering amid darkness and tempest,
without a pitying eye to weep his fall,
or a friendly hand to record his struggle."
The fall of Metamora might furnish abundant materials
for a first-rate tragedy, but that tragedy has yet to be
written. The present attempt is a mere melodrama,
and not one of the highest order. Except when
Metamora is on the stage everything is common-place.
Mr. Forrest's Metamora was a vigorous, energetic,
though somewhat coarse performance, but it was the
salvation of the piece. He was called for at the con-
clusion, and honoured with the usual curtain ovation.
The scenery was very beautiful.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.

A new tragic drama entitled 111clamora, or the Last of
the Whampanogs, was produced at this theatre last even-
ing, with Mr. Edwin Forrest as the hero Metamora.
This chief of the red men is already well known to the
majority of our readers as Philip of Pokanoket, the hero
of one of the most touching tales in Washington Irving's
Sketch-book. The character of Metamora is thus drawn
by Geoffrey Crayon:—" He was a patriot attached to his
native soil—a prince true to his subjects and indignant
of their wrongs—a soldier daring in battle, firm in ad-
versity, patient of fatigue, of hunger, of every variety of
bodily suffering, and ready to perish in the cause he had
espoused—proud of heart, with an untameable love of
natural liberty, he preferred to enjoy it among the beasts
of the forest, or in the dismal and famished recesses of
swamps and morasses, rather than bow his haughty
spirit to submission, and live independent and despised
in the ease and luxury of the settlements. With heroic
qualities and bold achievements that would have graced
a civilised warrior, and have rendered him the theme of
the poet and the historian, ho lived a wanderer and a
fugitive in his native land, and went down like a lonely
bark foundering amid darkness and tempest,
without a pitying eye to weep his fall,
or a friendly hand to record his struggle."
The fall of Metamora might furnish abundant materials
for a first-rate tragedy, but that tragedy has yet to be
written. The present attempt is a mere melodrama,
and not one of the highest order. Except when
Metamora is on the stage everything is common-place.
Mr. Forrest's Metamora, was a vigorous, energetic,
though somewhat coarse performance, but it was the
salvation of the piece. He was called for at the con-
clusion, and honoured with the usual curtain ovation.
The scenery was very beautiful.

The prisoner "said he merely picked up the dog in
Vere-street, about five or six weeks ago, not knowing to
whom it belonged. He hoped God would forgive him if
he told a lie, it the Magistrate did not, and that was all.
lie declared that he had not been out of doors from that
time to the present, haring met with an accident the
very night he found the dog. If picking up a dog in the
street was stealing, why of course he stole it, and that
was all he had to say about it.
Mr. TWYPORD asked how he had come possessed of
all the other dogs found at his lodgings?
The prisoner replied that he had met with them ho-
nestly, and could call a witness who was present to prove
it. A week or two ago he gave :3/. for one of them.
The witness alluded to was not forthcoming.
Mr.‘TwryoaD had no doubt of the prisoner's guilt,
and therefore fined him 51., in addition to the value of
the deg; 2/, directing his committal to hard labour for
two months in default of 'payment.
The prisoner—Hard labour, indeed; I shall pay the
money rather than put up with that, at all events.
He was then removed from the bar, and at a later
period of the day a companion waited on the Magistrate,
and requested a mitigation of the penalty to 51. This
request was refused by 'his worship, and consequently
the entire amount was paid, upon which the prisoner
was liberated.
