EUGENE SUE'S HISTORICAL ROMANCE " DB Ro-
HAN, OR, THE COURT CONSPIRATOR."—The Cows
Journal pronounces this work " to be, perhaps, the best
o. f Eugene Sue's productions. It is an historical romance
in the strictest sense of that phrase, yet rife with every
one of those characteristics which make that species of
composition so palatable to the merely popular taste of
the day. There is no class of readers, even the highest
and most cultivated, who may not derive both amusement
and instruction from it as an illustration of historical
truth ; while, on the other hand, its vivid painting, its
wild and exciting incidents, the vigour and verisimilitude
of its delineations of human character, and the rapid
movement and bold simplicity of its style, give its
peculiar charm for those who seek, in works of this
nature, the mere excitement of the moment."—Gout

fIAIL WAY INTELLIGENCE.
LONDON, SALISBURY, AND YEOVIL
JUNCTION,
A NOUvun, SATURDAY EYEstid.-L-This morning a
very numerous meeting of the inhabitants of the town
and neighbeurhood took place at the Town-hall, to con-
sider the subject of the formation of a line froze Basing-
steke to Andover, and from thence to Salisbury and
Yeovil.
Giles Westbury, Esq., the Mayor, took the chair, and
there were present the Hon. and Rev. S. Best, IL Etwa I,
E_ eq., M.P., for Andover ; Colonel Iremonger, the Rev.
Walter Blunt, the Rev. Henry Fowle, Rev. W. Smythe,
C.H.
Rev. Ridding, Rev. W. l'oeeney, Rev. Christopher
Dodson, Thomas Phillips, Esq., J. H. Everett, Esq.,
Barry Footner, Esq., Town Clerk ; and many of the
landed proprietors, as well as many. of the principal
inhabitant!. A deputation from Basingstoke attended,
consisting of C. Simmons, Esq., the Mayor ; Messrs.
Cottle (Alderman), Blunden and Gibbs. Joseph Locke,
Esq., the engineer, and F.T. Bircham, Esq., were present
on behalf of the South-Western Company, and the
following gentlemen attended as a deputation from the
London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Company:—John Chap-
man, Esq., J. J. Kinloch, Esq., G. Webster, Esq., W. S.
Boyd, D. M. Johnston, Esq., F. Giles, Esq., and
Lea is Crombie, Esq.
The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, said he
had received a requisition, very numerously signed, re-
questing him to call this meeting, to consider the subject
of more efficient railway communication. The town of
Andover had long been without the advantages which
other towns of less importance possessed, and he should
be glad to find that the meeting that day would be pro-
ductive of beneficial results.—(Hear, hear. )
The Hon. and Rev. S. BEST moved the first resolution, to
the effect that a line from some point at or near Basin;-
stoke, on the South-Western Railway by Andover to Salis-
bury, would promote the convenience of the public, and
be highly beneficial to Andover, and a large district now
unprovided with railway communication, connecting
them on the one hand with the metropolia and on the
other with Salisbury and the west of England. He could
look back to a time when railways were regarded as an
evil, but he was glad to find that they had now arrived at
a better state of feeling on that subject, and thrown to the
winds their foolish objections. He thought the proposed
route should provide for both the eastern and western
districts every accommodation, connecting the metropolis,
Salisbury, and the west of England generally.—(Hear.)
The main reason which had conduced to the prosperity
of the town of Andover was, that it was situate on the
direct line of communication between the metropolis and
the west of England. The wonder of the age, as they
used to call the " Telegraph" coach, passed through
Andover on the :ine from London to Exeter. Weyhill,
with its great and important fair, ought also to come in
for a share of consideration in the formation of a line in
that district. The people of Andover would never rest
satisfied with their present position, or with a line which
took them as much time to reach it as it did afterwards
to ae o eel onwards to London.—(Cheers.) The line now
pro?osed by the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Corn-'
pany was the best that could be adopted. The engi-
neering difficulties or facilities would probably be ex-
plained by Mr. Locke, a gentleman who had made a
direct communication between the metropolis of England
and that of France. If it was determined to make a
line connecting the west with the east—Andover must
be that line. By whatever company it was undertaken,
very little time must elapse before its construction should
be commenced. He trusted that ere long the people of
.Andover would be in possession of those advantages
which ralway communication offered, and which bad
up to the present time been denied them.
Mr. Moirrimorte seconded the resolution, which was
pig. and carried unanimously.
Mr. ETWALL. M.l'., suggested that this would be the
proper time for those gentlemen who attended on behalf
of the South-Western, and London, Salisbury, and Yeovil
lines, to state their opinions, so that before proceeding
ferther the meeting might be put in possession of the
necessary facts.
Mr. Loe..lea said he would very readily give any in-
f tuaation that might be required of him. His object,
bowever, in visiting Andover that day, was to hear the
opiniens of the inhabitsnts. He quite agreed with the
lion. and Rev. Gentleman who proposed the first reso-
letion, and ho might say that if the Board of Trade
.sanctioned the South Western scheme, the Company were
determined on making the line to Salisbury via Andover.
The Rev. Mr. SMY FRE asked Mr. Locke how far west-
werd the South-Western Company would go
Mr. Loene replied that at present he had received no
instructions to proceed beyond Salisbury.
Joan CHAPMAN said he regretted that important
,business had detained at Lincoln the Honourable William
Ashley, the Chairman of the Committee of the London,
Salisbury, and Yeovil line, and he read a letter from the
Honourable Gentleman, expressive of his regret at being
prevented from attending at Andover on that day. That
gentleman, however, felt the greatest interest in the suc-
cess of the line, on no account more than for its in-
tended transit through the town of Andover. Never,
he (Mr. Chapman) thought, was there such an extraor-
dinary anomaly and oversight, that while other parts of
the country were adequately provided with railway as-
commodatien, this important district was left completely
isolated. When the Great Western Company was
formed, the avowed object was a direct communication
between London and Bristol, at which point it was sup-
' vised the line would terminate. The line bad now been
extend,A ti Exeter, and he had no doubt it would
answo r the purposes of that Company. Still it did not sa-
tisfy the inhabitants of Andover, Yeovil, Salisbury, or
even the inhabitants of Exeter themselves. It appeared
to him that the South-Western pointed to the natural
line of railway into the western districts of the country;
but as the great lines had shown no disposition to meet
the wants of the people of many important districts, it
became the duty of the inhabitants of neglected towns
to make a movement in their own behalf. Railways
cemented, as it were, a social compact throughout the
kingdom, and bound men together as one family ;
Wiltshire, Dorsetsbire, and part of Devon, however,
were still beyond that family circle. The company he
represented (the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Junc-
tion) were determined to make a line not only to An-
dover and to Salisbury, but to Yeovil also.—(Cheers.)
An independent company had been formed for making a
line: from Yeovil to Exeter, so that the communication
would be direct and complete. The company he repre-
sented were quite prepared to go on. Every encourage-
ment had been held out to them.—(Cheers.)
Mr. GILES, civil engineer, put in a plan of the line of
the London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Junction. It appeared
that the line will establish a direct communication be-
tween London, Salisbury, Yeovil, and the West of Eng.
land, traversing in its course many wealthy, populous,
-and important districts. Commencing at Worting, near
Basingstoke, it will proceed by Whitchurch, Andover,
and Salisbury, to Yeovil, by which means the connexion
between the east and west coasts will be complete. In
'connexion with the projected line from Exeter to Yeovil,
it will, Mr. Giles remarked, form the shortest and most
direct communication between London and Exeter,
whereby a saving in distance of thirty miles will be
effected, The distance from London to Salisbury will be
about 80 miles, to Yeovil 120 miles, and to Exeter 165
miles. The length of line to be constructed will be about
75 miles.
ETwALL, M.P., moved " That the landowners and
other influential persons interested be invited to give
their support to the Company projecting the best
line through the above-named district, and to aid
in carrying it out: He thought that the meeting
o.hotild he unequivocally tend whether either or
both of the projected lines would come very near
the town of Andover.—(Cheers.) It would be the duty
of the inhabitants to watch closely the movements of
both companies, and to take care that whichever line
should be constructed should come into or near their
town.—(Hear, hear.) His llonourable and Reverend
Friend had very properly adverted to the objections
which many landowners had formerly entertained on the
subject of railways, but which were now entirely
removed. He (Mr. Email) had never entertained such
views, convinced as he was from the commencement that
railways would tend greatly to the promotion of the
prosperity of the country.
Geeas C.E., said the line he intended to adopt
(the London:Salisbury, and Yeovil Junction) would pass
dose to the north side of Andover, and would be of the
»reatest advantage to the town.
Mr. LeexE, on the part of the South-Western Corn-
peaty, remarked that it was not from indisposition to
give information on time matter, but simply that he
was not in possession of the requisite details. He
• might, however, say that, whatever line the South-
. IN'esternCompany might adopt, it would come as near the
town of Andover as possible. From this course no slight
expense would deter them He was somewhat disin-
clined to enter into these matters, because he had fre-
quently found that much mischief had arisen from the
premature discussion of details.
Mr. Pntwaos having seconded the resolution, it was
put and carried,
Mr. MARSH admitted that for a long time he enter-
tained antiquated prejudices on the subject of railways.
He had now abandoned them, and was desirous of seeing
a line constructed such as that propose& He would
like to see it extend not only to Andover, but to Salis-
bury, Yeovil, Exeter, and to the Land's-end. The
Company who would carry them the farthest should
have his support.—(Hear.)
Mr. CRoMBIE, as one of the promoters of the Lon-
don, Salisbury, and Yeovil Junction, might be per-
mitted to say a few words in reference to the ques-
tions which had been asked. He had no idea till he
entered the train at London that morning that any
official persons connected with the South-Western Com-
pany were to be present, although he was glad to see
them there ; doubts might otherwise have existed
which would now be cleared tip. With reference to
the position of Andover, on the London, Salisbury, and
Yeovil line, he might remark that the instructioas
given to the engineers were, that they should come as
near to the town of Andover as possible.—(Cheers.)
He was bound to inform the meeting of the intention of
his company to benefit the town, by l Pinging their line close
to it. In all probability it would run by Andover, near the
workhouse. Every one knew where that was. It had
been alleged that his company had come into a part of the
country into which they had no right to enter. This he
denied. The South-Western Company had made their
election when they framed their line. After reaching
Basingstoke they deviated from the western course, and
went south to Southampton. They had no right, there-
fore, to claim the country between Basingstoke and Ex-
eter as theirs. But be had still a stronger case for the
London, Salisbury, and Yeovil Company. He could
inform the meeting that his company, the Yeovil
Company, had put forward no plan, had made no
movement, until it had been explicitly understood
that the South-Western Company did not intend to
construct a line in that direction.—(Cheers.) A
communication with the influential parties in the South-
estern Company had taken place, certainly not with an
idea of binding either, as if sy written agreement, but
view to ascertain whether the
merely with
South-Western Company bad any intention of
1, a line. The answer given was
making such

half of the had left out. by accident, the real °b-
eet of his present action. They had heard a great
deal about possessory and reversionary rights,
and a good deal of legal argument ; but the fact was,
that they had to decide a dispute between a stone pier
erected by Act of Parliament, and which belonged to
the plaintifN, and a small floating pier, which had been
erected by a body of men who, finding their former
means of obtaining a livelihood entirely taken away
from them by the use of steam, had beeti compelled, in
their own defence, to have boats of their own, and to'
erect a pier for the accommodation of the passengers who
travelled by them, hoping thereby to be enabled to support
themselves and families. The objects of the plaintiffs, who
were the proprietors of a rival pier, was to thwart and
oppose them in this attempt by every means in their
power. He then proceeded to argue upon the facts that
had been adduced in evidence, and said that the plaintiffs
had no ground to complain of any obstruction, and he
submitted to the jury that it appeared quite clear that
they had merely purchased the property in question, for
the purpose of carrying out their scheme to destroy the
watermen's pier, and thus drive all the traffic to their
own. Ile concluded by contending that no real obstruc-
tion had been made out against the pier, and that the
defendant was entitled to a verdict.
The Lome CRIEIr Justion summed up, and went
through the whole of the evidence, observing, in the
course of his address, that it ought not to make any dif-
ference to the jury, if they should be of opinion that the
plaintiffs had purchased the property in question solely
with a view to the present proceeding. The only ques-,
Lion for them to decide was, whether or not the free
course of the water. way had been obstructed, and whe-
ther the defendant was the party liable for that ob-
struction.
The jury, after deliberating for a few minutes, re-
turned a verdict for the plaintiff—damages Is.
The effect of this verdict, if it is not set aside, will of
course be to do away with the floating-pier altogether.

The circumstance which gave rise to this report origi
tutted in the fact that several persons, nearly resembling
the description of the murderer, had been brought to
the station-house by the police ; bat these persons hav-
ing sufficiently proved that they had no connexion with
the circumstances of the murder, were at once dis-
charged.
The details of the inhuman transaction having been
extensively circulated by route through the different
stations, the police were on the alert to trace every
detail connected with it, and they have succeeded in as-
certaining when and where the weapon (a carving knife,
not a stiletto, as has been erroneously stated) was pur-
chased. The period when the purchase was made is
stated to have been about ten o'clock, only an hour be-
fore the murder, and Mr. Oldham, the cutler, of High-
street, St. Giles's, thinks he can identify the person who
bought it, and whose description answers in every re-
spect the description given of the supposed murderer.
We are enabled, from the courtesy of the persons
connected with the George-street station-house, to say
that the constable Allen, 159 E, was called at a little
after a quarter to eleven o'clock on Monday night, and
requested to go to No. 11, George-street (by the
way, one of the relics of London tradition, being once
tenanted by Oliver Cromwell, and the interior of the
house presenting at least one feature of interest to the
antiquary, namely,
wetunds idnecealaseed
number the unfortunate
ofa magnificent oaken staircase, said to
be the work of Inigo Jones), where he found in a back
throatroom
ling
abnl ede d ihnrge frombreast,
an
da
the knife remaining in the left aide of the
neck to a depth of at least three inches. The
constable drew the knife out, and t —en, by direction
of
of irection
of his inspector, hastened for Mr. vitzgend
High-
street, who at once attended; but though he
reached the
place in five minutes after the police-constable had
fi
been called, the woman was dead, so effectually had thert
murderer accomplished his purpose. The snrgeOn
stated that a more frightful mass of wounds he had
never witnessed, and no medical skill could have averted
a fatal termination. The constable states that he saw a
man run off who answered, in every respect, to the de-
scription of the murderer, but as he was not, at the time,
aware of the circumstances that had taken place in that
neighbourhood, the person passed unnoticed by him.
Inspectors Haynes, Shaw, and Thornton, of the detec.
tive'police, who have already shown themselves so efficient
in similar cases, have been specially ordered to trace the
murderer in this instance, and it is to be hoped that
through their exertions the miscreant will soon be
brought to the bar of justice.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
GLERKEN WELL.
Edmund Saunders, was charged with furious driving.
The prisoner, who was drunk, got into a publican's
cart on the previous night, and drove away at tho top of
the animal's speed through Gray's Inn-lane, and some of
the most crowded thoroughfares in the northern part of
the metropolis. When, at length, stopped by Martin 144
G, he assaulted him, and conducted himself with great
violence.

Mr. Comm find him 10s., or ten days' imprisonment.
There was no case of any interest among the morning
charges. _

Monday the jury empanelled on the 4th of March
to inquire into the death of a newly-born female infant
child of a woman named Ann Pendry, against whom a
verdict of wilful murder was on Friday last returned, re-
assembled at the Northumberland Arms Tavern, Isle-
worth, for the purpose of signing the inquisition.
Mr. Wakley handed to police sergeant Pool, who had,
on the verdict being returned by the jury. by the order
of the Coroner, taken Ann Pendry into custody, a war-
rant for the detention of the prisoner, and her produc-
lion at the adjourned inquest on the Monday, of which
the following is a copy :
" Central Criminal Court to wit.—lnquest-rootn,
Northumberland Arms, Isleworth, Friday, March 28th,
1845.—T0 Mr. William Lawrence, Inspector of Police,
" You are hereby charged to detain in your custody
Ann Pendry, on an accusation of the murder of her
infant child, and you are hereby required to produce the
body of the said Ann Pendry before me and my inquest
on Monday next, the 31st of March, at this place, at ten
o'clock in the forenoon.
" THOMAS WAKLEY, Coroner."
Pool having read the warrant, asked the Coroner what
he was to do with the prisoner in the meantime, as au
order had just been issued by the Commissioners of
Police forbidding the detention of a prisoner on remand
at any station-house a copy cf which he would show the
Coroner in a few minutes..
Mr. \VARLET said he had never heard of such an
order. Ile had before directed persons to be taken into
custody by the police, who had detained them on illd
(the Coroner's) warrant.
