FRENCH RAILWAYS.—The excitement produced by
the adjudication of the French railways, and during the
period
when the intelligence of the fact was exp, cted, is
compared by the stock-brokers to the excitement pro-
duced years ago on th, appearance of the foreign loans.
Now the tender of Messrs. Mackenzie, Patterson, and
Co., for the Orleans and Boadeaux Railroad is accepted,
the premiums paid by speculators on the success of the
other competitors will of course be entirely lost. With
respect to return of the deposit nu difficulty, it is ex-
pected, can arise. M. Drouillard and Count d'An-
thouard had both guaranteed the return of the deposits,
in case they did not succeed in obtaining the contract ;
and on Messrs. Rothschild's contract no deposits have
been paid. The greatest loss in the shape of premium
will be incurred by the speculators in Messrs. Roth-
schild's tender, since to the last moment the most san-
guine hopes were entertained of their success, and pur-
chases were made as high as 2 premium. On the other
two proposed contracts the premiums were but small.--

meeting on Monday last the Town Council of Perth
agreed, by a majority of three to one, to invest I,OOOL of

been brought before the public. Its main feature is to
open up the rich mineral district through which it passes.
The length is about 27 miles, and the estimated cost
800,0001, which it is proposed to raise in 50L shares,
with a deposit of 41. At the head of the Provisional
Committee is the Earl of Balcarras. Mr. Crosthwaite,
of Liverpool, is also a member. Sir John _Macneill and
Mr. James Thomson are the engineers.--Railway Record.
FATAL ACCIDENT AT EA.—During the tre-
mendous gale of Wednesday, the schooner Undine,
bound to Belfast, whilst coming into Falmouth harbour,
unshipped her bourn, which, iu its fall, struck one of the
crew ou the head, and killed him on the spot. The
poor fellow's brains were knocked to atoms. The cheeks
cf the boom went out through the bulwarks on one side,
and the peak the other. An inquest was to be held the
following day on the body. The captain sustained a
severe injury in one of his arms, but no bone was
broken.— West Briton.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.
COURT OF BANKRUPTCY, Oct. 12.

IN THE MATTER, or JAMES SAWYER.

The insolvent, who had been an attorney, in Bow-
lane, Cheapside, was opposed on the part of a widow
woman named Rokes. The complaint against the
insolvent was that he had defrauded Mrs. Rakes out
of a considerable sum of money, the loss of which had
reduced her to distress, and had obliged her to sell
some furniture to bring her case before the Court.
The evidence proved that Mrs. Rokes's late husband
and son were in partnership as undertakers, in Union-
street, Borough, and that the son had saved 2,0001.,
which he kept in a box, and shortly before his death
gave it to her for her exclusive benefit. Her husband
afterwards died, and she administered to his effects,
and took out letters of administration to about 6001.
In February, 1842, her son-in-law, named North,
was heard in the Insolvent Debtors' Court, on which
occasion she was subpcenaed as a witness. She con-
sulted the insolvent, and mentioned the circumstance
about the 2,0001. given her by her son, which she had
not set forth when she took out letters of administra-
tion. He told her that she had committed an offence
for which she could be transported, as the property
should have been mentioned. The poor woman became
alarmed, and it was arranged that she should sell out
her stock and place it in his hands as a deposit, which
she did, the amount being 2,400/. North was finally
heard in April, 1842, and until after that period no
application was made to him that it might be again
invested. The insolvent told her that North's credi-
tors were entitled to a portion, and hence the selling
of it out of the funds. He had made advances to her,
which were set forth in a hook, to about 400/., and
that was the whole she had obtained of the sum
of 2,4001.
The insolvent stated that he was to allow her in-
terest for the money. He had advanced her 5001.,
had a bill for law costs (which had not been deli-
vered); and he admitted that he owed her a balance
of 1,400/. He had used the money in his buskless,
and was at the time in a practice to some extern%
keeping his carriage and nine clerks. His banker's
book showed that he bad only deposited small sums at
the period the money was deposited with him. He
had taken the opinion of counsel, and believed that the
mosey should have been returned in when the letters
of administration were taken out. He had not advised
her to make a different return, but she suggested that
the money should be deposited with him, and he "ac-
ceded" to the suggestion. His insolvency arose from
the failure of a Mr. Hannan, who owed him 2,000/.,
and he had other debts owing to him.
Sir C. F. WILLIAMS ordered an account to be fur-
nished to him of the disposition of the 2,400/. before
he gave his opinion.
Mr. CoOKE asked the Court to appoint an early
day. The insolvent had been quite long enough out
of prison, and the interests of justice required a speedy
decision.

Mr. CHAMBERS prayed the Court to grant soiae
days' delay.
Sir C. F. WlLLums adjourned the case to Monday
week, and required the account of the money to be
furnished to him some days before the next occasion.

MIDDLESEX SESSIONS.
(Before the ASSISTANT JUDGE, and a Bench of
Magistrates.)
Mr. Peter M'Donald, master-shipwright, a well-
dressed man, surrendered to take his trial for assaulting
Richard Morley, the foreman of a gang of ship-caulkers,
on the 9th of May last. _ _ _

Mr. Woofridge-appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
Clarkson for the defence.

It appeared, on behalf of the complainant, that he
was engaged with other men, by the defendant, to caulk
the Blessing brig, lying in the dock adjoining Duke's-
yard, Limehouse. Some disagreement ensued between
the parties, as to the progress of the work, and the
defendant struck him a violent blow on the mouth, and
otherwise so severely assaulted him that he was laid up
for eight days.
Mr. CLARKSON, for the defendant, characterised the
prosecution as a trumpery one, that ought never to have
been brought into Court.
The jury found the defendant Guilty, and he was
fined 31.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.
(SATURDAY.)
MARYLEBOIVE.

Caroline Berry, a meanly-dressed elderly woman,
and Elizabeth Phasey, a middle-aged female, respect-
ably attired, were charged with having been con-
cerned in stealing articles of jewellery, &c., valued at
385/., the property of John Goldie, Esq., 39, Baker-
street, Portman-square.
Mrs. Goldie deposed that, on the 10th of July last,
she and her family went out of town, after leaving
the house in charge of Phasey, one of her servants,
and on her return, on the 2d of the present month,
Phasey informed- her that the wardrobe had been
left open. She (Mrs. Goldie), who was convinced
that it was locked prior to her departure, examined it,
and found that a pair of diamond ear-rings, a diamond
brooch, an emerald ring, and a silk dress,. bad been
extracted therefrom. She asked Phasey if she knew
anything of the missing articles, to which she replied
that she did not ; and, on her being further
questioned, she said that the only persons she could
suspect of having done anything wrong were the
prisoner Berry, an occasional charwoman at the
house, and a young man, named Edward Payne.
Mr. LoNG—Do you know anything of the man,
Payne ? Mrs. Goidie.—All that I know of him, Sir,
is, that Phasey, iriv servant, told rue he had slept in
the house while I was away, and that she first became
;'acquainted with him while she was with me at Lea-
! mingron some time ago.
William Henry Clarke, shopinan to Mr. Dobree,
12, Gilbert-street, Grosvenor-square, produced the
diamond brooch and ear-rings (articles of a most
splendid description), which had been pledged at dif-
ferent periods by the prisoner Berry for a small
amount, she (Berry) allegieg that they were " paste,"
and belonged to Madame Davis, 15, Gilbert•street.
Mrs. Goldie identified the valuables brought for-
ward by the last witness ; he (witness) was, as it, ap-
peared, young in the trade, and was not aware of the
worth of the property which he had taken in.,
Berry, in answer to the charge, said that tne pro-
perty was given to her by Phasey to pawn, and she
was not aware there was anything wrong. Phasey
denied this in most vehement terms.
Both the prisoners were remanded till Friaav,y
CLERKEA WELL _

Thomas Triggey, who described himself as an
assistant officer of the Court of Requests, K ingsgate-
street, was charged with extorting money from Mrs.
Ann Waugh, a poor person, living at No. 11,
Thomas's-buildings. Somers Town, under the pre-
tence of giving her legal assistance.
Mrs. Waugh stated that she owed Mr. Goodwin, of
Chichester-rents, Chancery-lane, for a sack of pota-
toes, which she had purchased of him on the " tally
system," at his shed. On her inability to pay, a
summons, and subsequently execution, was issued
against her, for debt and costs, amounting to upwards
of Bs., and by the order of the court she was ordered
to pay it off by 2s. instalments. On going to the
court, on Wednesday, to pay, a man named Terne,
whom she pointed out to the magistrate, told her she
was too late, as the court was closed ; but if she
allowed him to act for her, he would make it " all
right." He then introduced the prisoner Triggey to
her at an adjoining public-house, who told her that
she would have ss. Bd. to pay, on which she at once
went and raised the money by pledging her cloak.
She then paid Triggs7 the sum he demanded for his
services, and treated ferne with a pint of beer with
the only remaining 2d. she possessed, leaving herself
and her two children destitute. She hereupon satis-
fied her mind that everything was arranged; but, on
Friday, execution was levied on her goods. Tome,
whom she had seen before at the court, had, on that
occasion, said he was an officer belonging. to it.
Joseph Terne, who at first objected to give his
name to the magistrate, was then placed at the bar.
Mr. Goodwin stated that on proceeding to the poor
widow's house to execute his warrant for the goods he
had sold her, she presented her receipt from Triggey,
showing she had paid him the money, and she had
considered him as the landlord at the time, he being
behind the her, end that gave her sufficient confidence.
On the warrant of execution being examined, it
appeared to have been delayed since September,
through the neglect of the officer.
James Whelan, who described himself as " bailiff"
to the court, and said he was appointed by Mr. Ser-
geant Heath, and sworn in, like the other officers,
"every morning," gave an account of himself with
much hesitation. He said that Triggey executed the
warrants with him, but was not authorised to receive
money. Terne was an agent, getting whatever he
could ; neither Triggey nor Terne had paid him the
money received from Mrs. Waugh.
some blank fornis were found on Triggey, upon
which the BENCH remarked, after perusing them,
" This shows what a nest of iniquity it is ; Mr. Ser-
geant Heath must be shown these ; poor ignorant
people resort to these courts in moments of distress,
and are frightened by designing men out of their
hard earnings.
Terne treated the thing as a matter of indifference
until he was charged with " stealing the inmey."
The MAGISTRATE then sent to request the attend-
ance of Mr. Heath, or some other principal official of
the court, to explain its rules and proceedings. This
being found impracticable at the time, the prisoners
were remanded to Monday.
WORSHIP-STREET.
Jane Bove, a smartly-dressed girl, was charged
before Mr. Broughton with having, on three several
occasions, disturbed the rest of Mr. G. H. Coward,
the district surgeon of police, in the New North.
road, by ringing his house-bell without lawful excuse.
The complainant stated that about one o'clock on
Wednesday morning he was disturbed by a violent
ringing at his night-bell, on answering which he
found the prisoner at the door, who requested the im-
mediate attendance of one of his assistants to visit a
sick wan who was lying dangerously ill at a house in

Britannia-street, City-road. One of his assistanta
was immediately dispatched to the given address, but
he remained so long absent that witness became
alarmed, and obtained the assistance of a policeman,
with whom he went in search of him in all directions,
without success. After more than three hours' ab-
sence the young man at length returned back, and
said that he had been unable to find the place. On
the following night, about the same hour, the prisoner
called again, and said that his assistant was in-
stantly wanted at the house of a dying man named
Phillips, in Monyer-street, Hoxton, whither he was
accordingly sent, but after a protracted absence he came
back, and said they had been again hoaxed, as no
such person resided there. When she called the
second time witness was not aware that she was the
same person who had led them such a wild goose chase
on the preceding night ; but about one o'clock on that
morning she paid him a third visit, and was deliver-
ing a similar summons for his assistant, when he
recognised her as the same girl who had broken his
rest on the two previous occasions, and gave her into
custody.
Police-constable No. 98 stated that, on her way to
the station-house, the prisoner confessed that her con-
duct was the result of a preconcerted scheme between
herself and Mr. Henry Petch, the compainant's
assistant, to enable him to enjoy the pleasure of her
society.
Mr. Coward said that he had questioned his as-
sistant on the subject, who had admitted, after a good
deal of hesitation, that the girl's statement was per-
fectly correct. He had some previous intimacy with
the girl, and not being permitted to leave the house
after it was closed for the night, they had resorted to
this stratagem to bring them together.
On being asked if she wished to say anything, the
prisoner declared that Mr. Henry would be best able
to explain all about the transaction.

Mr. BROUGHTON ordered her to pay a shilling for
her discharge. _ _
