oPirnims OF THE PRESS.

" We regard the wOrkbeioreus, •` The Silent Friend,' as a
work embracing most clear and practical views of a series of com-
plaints hitherto little understood, and passed over by the majority of
the Medical profession, for what reason we are at a lout o know.
We must, however, confess that a perusal of this work has kit such
a favourable impression on our minds, that we not only recommend,
but cordially wish every one who is the victim of past folly, or suffer:
ing from indiscretion, to profit by the advice contained in Its pages."
—Age and Argus.
" The Authors of ' The Silent Friend,' seem to be thoroughly
conversant with the treatment of a clam of complaints which are, we
fear, too prevalent in the present day. The perspicuous style in
which this book is written, and the valuable hints it conveys to

BL A.CKWALL RAILWAY.

A special general meeting of the Shareholders of this
Company was held yesterday, at the Londoa Tavern,
Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of receiving the re-
port of the Directors on the subject of a proposed branch
railway from the Stepney Station of the London and
Blackwall Railway, through Stratford, Leytonstone,
Wanstead, Woodford, Chigwell, Loughton, and Abridge,
to Epping. The chair was taken at twelve o'clock by
J. N. Daniell, Esq.
After the notice calling the meeting had been read,
The SECRETARY proceeded to read the report. He
commenced by stating that the attention of the Directors
having been called to a considerable tract of thickly-po-
pulated country, lying between the Eastern Counties' and
Northern and Eastern Railways, they thereupon de-
termined to ascertain what were the facts as
to the amount of the present existing traffic
in that part of the country, not making use of either of
the railways before-mentioned, and the amount was
found to be much larger than they could possibly have
anticipated. The traffic returns had been made by
persons in whom the Directors felt the most perfect
confidence. The following was the traffic of one wook,
taken at the beginning of November last :

DURHAM AND SUNDERLAND
RAILWAY.

SUNDERLAND, JAN. 6.—A special general meeting of
the Durham and Sunderland Railway Company was held
this day in the Exchange-buildings, to take into consi-
deration the propriety of altering the mode agreed upon
at the last special meeting of the Company for issuing
the new shares proposed to be created for the purpose
of altering and extending the line, and of adapting it to
propulsion by locomotive engines instead of ropes drawn
by stationary engines.
CHRISTOPHER BRAMWELL, Esq., the Chairman of the
Company, briefly stated the business to be considered,
which was, that a late special meeting it was agreed to
raise the capital of 180,0001. required tor the new works,
and other requisite changes connected with the working
of the line, by the issuing of 6,000 new shares, at 301.
each, the subscribers of which were to be guaranteed 5
per cent. per annum for their capital till the proposed
alterations came into operation, when the whole of the
new shares were to merge in the common stock of
the Company, and the new and old Shareholders were
then to participate alike in the profits and liabilities of
the entire line. It was now proposed that this plan
should be cancelled, and that the new shares should be
issued at 401, each, to the extent of four thousand five
hundred, and that the present Proprietors should have
the option of taking them in proportion to the shares
now held by each in the Company ; and that the new
shares of 401. each so created should hare a guarantee in
perpetuity secured to them of five per cent. per annum
interest, reserving also to the new Shareholders the
right of participating in any greater dividend that may
at any time be realised from the profits of the railway.
I !Mr. J. J. WRIGHT, in a long and energetic speech,
advocated the adoption of this plan, and submitted a re-
solution to carry it into effect, which was seconded by
Mr. T. Reed, and cordially received by the meeting.
Mr. W. J. BARKER, Sharebroker, stated to the
~ meet-
ing that ho was authorised to offer a premium of s. 6d.
per share an whatever number of shares he could pur-
chase for parties in the south of 40/. per share ; and it
was also stated by another gentleman that a sharebroker
in London had offered to guarantee the disposal of the
whole number of new shares to be created at the value of
40/. each.
This flattering state of the business was received with
great satisfaction by the Shareholders present, and the
resolution proposed by Mr. Wright was submitted to the
meeting, and unanimously adopted.

LONDON, THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 1845.

Never was there a more hopeless or more absurd
agitation than that got up by certain landed pro-
prietors and farmers throughout England for the re-
peal of the malt-tax. As if land was not sufficiently
protected already by the sliding-scale and many im-
munities from burdens to which personal property-
are liable, these gentlemen, born to consume the fruits
of the earth, cry out for more exemptions, under pre-
tence of\ benefiting the poor, while in reality theic
out v object is t o add to the grievances of the corn-laws.
The benefit to the poor or the community at large is
mere moonshine; and with what face can the country
gentlemen come forward and advocate cheap beer,
when one of their great themes at quarter sessions
and in Parliament is the mischief caused by beer-
shops ? According to them beer is the great source of
poaching, smuggling, stealing, and Sabbath-breaking.
'There is hArdly an evil under the sun that is not at-
tributed to drinking malt liquors ; yet these Solons
would reduce the price of this article of consumption,
all for the good of the people. But putting this
mockery aside, we ask how is a deficiency of between
four and five millions sterling t) be made up ? Is
the income-tax to be made perpetual? Is there to
be no reduction in the import duties on the necessa-
ries of life, and especially on sugar, tea, and corn ?
Are all the rest of the community to suffer that
prodigal lords and squires may be able to keep up
their vast establishments, spend large revenues in
foreign countries, and make suitable marriage settle-
ments ((kr their sons and daughters ? The
manufacturing towns—great and small—the shop-
•owners, the merchants, and, above all, the
opponents of the corn-laws, would cry out against
-such an act of injustice, and an impulse would be
given to the operations of the latter body, which in a
every short period would put an end to the sliding-
-.scale and the tax OR bread together. This is not the
•object of the agitators, but they know not what they

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

John Bird and John Williams, very respectably-dressed
young men, were charged with attempting to pick
pockets under the following circumstances:—
William Horaford, one of the constables belonging to
the Mendicity Society, stated that abut twenty minutes•
past six o'clock last evening: he saw the prisoners in
company with another young man in St. James's-street,
following a gentleman, and suspecting their object, he
watched them into Pall-mall, where the prisoner Wil-
liams, covered by the others, attempted to pick the
pocket of the gentleman they had followed from
St. James's-street. He, however, at the instant
turned into one of the club-houses, and Williams did not
succeed in extracting anything. They then went on
together through several streets, and at length, at the
corner of Glasshouse-street and Regent street, Williams
made another attempt, and witness distinctly saw him
lift the gentleman's coat pocket up, and attempt to
take out the contents, but he failed in doing so. Wit-
ness then seized both the prisoners. The third man in-
stantly ran off and escaped. Williams also broke away,
but was pursued and overtaken in Swallow-street. On
searching him a sovereign and some silver were found
in his pockets. At the station-house he refused to give
his name or address.

A solicitor appeared on the part of Bird, who stated
that he was residing at No. 4, High-street, Whitechapel.
Williams said he was living at Greenwich; they were
perfect strangers to each other.

Mr. MALTBY asked if they were known to the police?
Sergeant Emery, of the C division, said he believed they
came from the east end of the town.

They were remanded, to allow time for making inqui
ries about them.

SOUTHWARK.

Two women of the town were charged under the fol-
lowing circumstances
It appeared that a few weeks since Mr. Shepherd,
landlord of the Surrey Coal-hole was severely bitten in
the hand by a prostitute who was making a disturbance
in his house. The wound became so inflamed that it was
at one time feared it would be necessary to amputate the
hand. The woman escaped at the time, and the two de-
fendants entering his house last evening, and thinking
one of them was the party who so seriously injured him,
he merely looked at them, when they commenced an at-
tack on him, and he was compelled to give them into
custody.—They were committed for seven days, and a
fellow named Taylor, their bully, was fined 51. for as-
saulting the policemen in taking them into custody.

INCREASED GRANT TO MAYNOOTII.

The Evening Post says—" The Ministry are now in a
favourable position for proposing a liberal grant for col-
legiate education in Ireland, oa a system embracing
Catholics and Dissenters, and for giving to Maynooth a
grant in some degree commensurate to the claims of the
Catholics of Ireland for the education of their clergy.
Indeed, we have some reason to believe that the Premer
has already decided on such a step."
London, England, 1845-01-09

BOW-STREET.

Joliu Sullivan was charged by George Copeland with
an attempt to rob him of his watch, under the following
circumstances:—

At about three o'clock this morning complainant was
leaving a public-house in Holborn, the sign of which he
did not know, when several men, of whom the prisoner
was one, surrounded him, and, under the pretence that
he was not sober, and that they wished to assist him,
took him by the arms and led him on. He tried to get
away, but the prisoner struck him in the face, and he
was obliged to submit.
After some observations from the Magistrate, the
complainant said, "I felt them trying my pockets. I saw
the prisoner putting his hand to my waistcoat pockets;
but I was afraid to resist, as I knew I could not defend
myself against so many; but as soon as I saw a police-
man I seized the prisoner by the collar, and held him
till the policeman came up, when I gave him in charge."
Policeman F 152 said that about three o'clock this
morning he met the complainant and several men, of
whom prisoner was one, in Holborn. When be first
saw them, prisoner was walking beside complainant, and
the others behind him. He saw complainant seize the
prisoner by the collar. Complainant gave the prisoner
in charge, but as he was going to bring the man to the
station-house complainant asked hiss (witness) to let the
man go. He did so, and persuaded prisoner to go a
different way from that which complainant took. Com-
plainant not knowing his way, witness went with him,
and he saw prisoner following and watching them. Upon
this, complainant fearing that they should attack him
again, gave prisoner in charge. Prisoner was at the
time very drunk, and made such violent resistance that
he had to be handcuffed, and it required three men to
take him to the station-house.

Mr. TWYPORD said that the attempt to rob com-
plainant was not proved, that he might have intended a
robbery, but that it was not proved against him. It ap-
peared, however, that the man had been drunk and dis-
orderly, and for that he should fine him 10s., the felony
not being proved, he must be supposed to be inLecent.
