COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of business.
There was a very numerous attendance of members, in conse-
quence of the appearance on the paper of business of the fol-
lowing notice :—" To receive a report from the Improvement
Committee, on the petition of the Direct London and Bir-
mingham Railway Company to treat for premises within the
City for the purposes of railway termini, recommending the
proposed sites as desirable for such purpose." From the
general appearance of the Court, it might be inferred that
complete unanimity existed in favour of the proposition to
convert Farringdon-market and the site of the Fleet Prison
into termini.

PROSPECTUS.
This line is designed to open a direct communication between the
towns of Birmingham and Boston.
The advantages to be derived by a rich, progressing, and populeus
town, such as Birmingham, the great manufacturing centre of the
kingdom, having a direct communication with a port on the eastern
coast facing the Continent, and that port the nearest to it by geo-
graphical position, need but to be mentioned to be appreciated.
The name of Birmingham speaks for Itself; the capacity and
value of Boston as a commercial port is daily increasing, and re-
quires but little enterprise to enable it to compete with some of our
best ports.
It is proposed that this line should commence at Leicester, where
it will form a continuation of the direct line front Birmingham to
that town, and proceeding by or near Melton Mowbray, Corby,
Folkenham, and Donnington, terminate at Boston ; thus affording a
direct communication between Birmingham and its important manu-
facturing districts—Rugby, the great centre of England, and Boston,
their nearest seaport, which eventually must command 'the traffic
of the districts with which, it is in connexion and the opposite
ports of the Continent.

A glance at the map will show how this line is fed, and the towns
in its neighbourhood supplied by railway accommodation by the in-
tersecting lines ; but in the event of the London and York line not
obtaining its Act, it is proposed by this Company to construct a
branch to Grantham. .

The country is easy, presenting few or no engineering difficulties.
Another advantage held out by this project is the improvement of
the harbour of Boston, whereby it will be restored to that eminent
position it formerly held among the ports and harbours of the
kingdom.
The usual power will be taken by the Act to allow interest at 4
per cent. per annum after passing the Act, on the amount of the
subscription paid up. No subscriber shall be answerable for more
than the amount of his deposit until the Act be obtained ,and then
not beyond the amount of his subscription.
Applications for shares, in the usual form, and prospectuses,
to be made to the solicitors of the Company, 7, Tokenhouse-yard,
and 76, Cannon-street, City; at the offices of the Company, 26,

tion near that town with the South \Vales Railway. He
moved that the minutes of the previous meeting, which con-
sisted of a decision to organise a committee for the for-
mation of the company in question, be confirmed.
The motion was seconded, and unanimously agreed to.
Several gentlemen were then named on the managing com-
mittee, after which _ _

Mr. RICHARDS, counsel of the Company, said he had seen
several most influential parties who had been in Wales, and
who gave the most flattering accounts of the manner in
which the schemes had been received. Amongst others Lord
Duncannon's steward declared that not only his Lordship, but
all the leading gentry of the district, were in its favour.

LOSS OF TIIE RUNNYMEDE AND BRITON.

The following letter from Capt. Doulty, of the Runnymede,
referring to the loss of these vessels previously reported,
has been received by W. Dobson, Esq., the secretary to
Lloyd's :
" Runnymede, South Island, off East Coast,
Andaman Islands, lat. 12, 1 N. lon., about
p
9 3. 14 E., Nov. 15, 1844.
" I begto state for your information that on the 10th, 11th,
rageda

ever
ezerienced by mostman--it
terrific hurricanes
was totally beyond description—which, after dismasting and
rendering the ship an unmanageable wreck, with only one
boat saved. threw us ashore on the above island, at one
o'clock in the morning of the 12th, nod, through the provi-
dence of Almighty God, without the loss of life. At daybreak
we saw on shore a large barque up among the trees, which
proved to be the Briton, of the Clyde, from Sydney to Cal-
cutta, with 311 soldiers, 34 women, and 51 children, with a
crew of 36 men ; boats all gone. The carpenters of both
ships set to work on our boat, which has been raised two
streaks, false keeled and decked, and leaves this day for as-
sistance. We are here in all 630 people, short of provisions,
and those more or less damaged. The water flows in at every
tide, and everything is destroyed •, in fact, one-half of us have
no shoes, and without a change of linen. No lives have been
lost in either case, except one man who attempted to swim
ashore."

LOSS OF THE MELLISH, FROM CHINA TO LONDON.
The following account of the loss of the above ship is ex-
tracted from advices received at Lloyd's from the Captain
(Fawcett) :—The Mellish was lost on October 5, on the
south side of the North Danger of the Paracels, in a severe
typhoon. The ship struck about sixty miles E.N.E., one
half of the crew perished at the time the vessel was
lost, the remainder of the crew and master took to
the boats, and arrived at Pandaran Bay, situated in lat.
11, 35 N. lon. On the 27th October, on being visited by the
authorities, the captain urged how much they wished to be
sent to Singapore,
or to any place where they could get a
passage ; they were then informed that they should be sent
in fifteen days ; they were afterwards told thirty days, and
on the 16th November the cantain states that they had
altered the time to three month's, so that without they. ob-
tained assistance from Singapore, they would be detained
there longer. The survivors, amounting to eleven n nuin-
i
ber, were all well on the 16th of November, except two, but
received bad food and were scantily clothed. The Chi-
nese up the country were very hospitable and kind,
but the Cochin Chinese quite the reverse, and
dirty in the extreme. The authorities bad confined
them to a fishing village in Pandaran Bay, which is de-
scribed by the captain as being a filthy place. It was subse-
quently reported that they would leave about February last,
in a Chinese vessel, for Singapore : the reason of their depar.
ture being protracted, was stated by the Chinese to be occa-
sioned by the monsoon, which sets in during the intervening
London, England, 1845-03-08

CORN 3EXCHANGE

Our arrivals of Wheat continue good from the northern
counties; however, the show of samples here was on the in-
crease. The finest qualities of both Red and White com-
manded a steady sale, at full prices ; but all other kinds were
a slow inquiry. Foreign Wheat, free of duty, was in fair re-
quest, and previous rates were well supported ; but Corn
under lock was a mere drug. The supply of Barley was
quite equal to the demand, and it was only the finest quality
that could be disposed of. All other kinds were very dull.
The Malt trade was heavy, and where sales were pressed
lower rates were taken for all descriptions. Oats were ex-
tremely dull, and rather cheaper. Beans, Peas, and Flour
as on Monday.

For the time of year the supply of Beasts on sale was rather
numerous, but of very middling quality ; yet the Beef trade
was in a depressed state, and Monday's quotations were with
difficulty supported. No foreign stock was offering, but we
had 100 Scots, by sea, from Scotland. The numbers of Sheep
were extremely small, owing to which the Mutton trade was
active, at full prices. Calves were in short supply and steady
demand, at previous figures. In Pigs. a steady business was
doing. Milch Cows sold slowly at from 141 to 191 each, in
eluding their small Calf.

RAILWAY COMMITTEES.

The Sub-Committee, No. 3, resumed its sittings yes:
terday, in Committee-room No. 8. Present—Mr.
Aglionby, chairman, Mr. T. Egerton, Mr. Stansfield, Mr.
Thornely, and Mr. E. Buller.
CORNWALL RAILWAY.
The Committee proceeded with the petition from the
promoters of this railway.
The Committee proceeded with the evidence upon the
promoters' plans. Some discussion arose as to the situa-
tion of some powder mills. It was alleged in a petition,
presented by a Mr. Thomas, but upon which the Com-
mittee had decided that no one could appear, that cer-
tain buildings had been omitted. It appeared that a
small building about the size of a pig-sty had been
omitted.
Mr. BURKE contended that the promoters could not
answer this objection, inasmuch as they had seen no
allegation respecting it.
The CHAIRMAN said the duty of the Committee was to
ascertain whether the standing orders hail been complied
with.
Standing orders not complied with in the above
respect.

THE PRESERVATION or rICTURES. Mr. Day,
whose energetic efforts for the introduction of a cheap and
efficient system of ventilation into the dwellings of the middle
and poorer classes, and whose many inventions for carrying
out so philanthropic a purpose has been often alluded to,
states in his lectures that the want cf r.t free supply of fresh
air, in apartments where valuable pati.!ting.s and delicate
works of art are kept, is the cause of their injury and conse-
quent deterioration in value. Mr. Day instances the rapid
appearance of dry-rot in furniture, and in the floors and
wainscotting of those rooms where the windows and doors
are not often opened; the same effects following in other
cases, in comparison to the want of proper and judicious
ventilation.
Music.—Mr. Henry Russell, it would appear, is
as successful in bringing crowded audiences to hear him in
the provinces as he ever has been in the metropolis. His
vocal abi,ities are certainly of that order with which all are
generally pleased ; and a clear and distinct enunciation,
allied to a rich and full voice, are gifts so rarely met with
that no surprise need be expressed in the enthusiasm with
which lfr. Russell is everywhere greeted. His melodies,
descriptive of the negro character, are given with. great truth

THIS DAY'S NEWS.

CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY
OLD COURT.

(Before the RECORDER.)
ROBBING FROM A DWELLING -110USE.—Affielia Maydew
18, Selina Edwards, 17, and Susan Paulo, 28, the latter a
married female, were placed in the dock, charged with steal-
ing a tin box. containing eight sovereigns, the property of
John Greening, and a box, containing a watch and two seals,
the property of Hannah Maydew, mother of the first prisoner,
who is also grand-daughter to John Greening.
Paulo was defended by Mr. Horry, Edwards by Mr. Robin-
son, and Maydew was undefended.
It appeared, by the evidence, that Greening's house, in
Upperi.North-street, Lisson-grove, had been entered on the
4th of February, and the property charged in the indictment
stolen. The police, discovering that that the grand-daughter
(Maydew) and her friend, Edwards, had been spending a
quantity of money, :in connexion with the prisoner Paulo,
went to the house of the latter, No. 5, Park-lane, where a
number of dresses, purchased by the two first prisoners, and
the boxes, which were stolen from North-street, were found.
The watch was also discovered on Maydew, and identified by
the old man Greening.
prom a written statement put in by the prisoner Maydon,
and the character given by a number of respectable witnesses
to the prisoner Edwards, it appeared that they had both held
a respectable character as flower-workers, until last year,
when they began frequenting the Yorkshire Sting° saloon.
Edwards was seduced, and, being about to become a mother,
was turned out of doors by her parents.
The jury returned a verdict of Guilty against all the pri-
soners.
The grandfather, an old man about eighty, who was obliged
to be supported into the witness- box, begged, while the tears
ran over his cheeks, for mercy for his grandchild.
The prisoners were then sentenced, Maydew to three
months' imprisonment, with hard labour; Edwards to nine
months' imprisonment ; and Paulo to twelve months, with
hard labour.

THE HAMPSTEAD MURDER.

DISCOVERY OF THE WEAPON WITH WHICH THE DE-
CEASED WAS KILLED.—By the extraordinary exertions of
the police, the stick, of which some mention has been already
made as having been usually carried by the prisoner, Thomas
Hocker, has been at length discovered, and in a most remark-
able manner. It will be recollected that on the post mortem
examination of the body the surgeon gave it as his opinion
that the wounds upon the head of the deceased had been pro-
duced by some blunt and not very heavy instrument. A
shoe-maker's pincers found in the prisoner's room was at first
supposed to be the weapon, but the surgeon thought it a
most unlikely one. He thought a stick more probable. In-
quiry was accordingly directed to the habits of the accused,
and it was ascertained from the evidence of his father and
brother that, up to about three weeks before the date of Mr.
Delarue's murder, he had usually carried a large and rather
heavy yellow walking-stick, which he said he had left
behind him at the house of some friend. The police,
however, thought it by far more likely that it had been
secreted in some convenient spot until its services might be
required, and accordingly every hedge and trench, and place,
about the neighbourhood of the fatal spot has been examined,
but to no purpose. On Thursday evening, however, In-
spector Shackell, of the detective police, received an intima •
tion that a young man in the employment of Mr. Rudd,
a poulterer in the New-read, had found a large yellow
walking-stick, covered with blood, secreted in the herbage
at the side of one of the bridges in the Regent's Park. In-
spector Shackell went instantly to the person indicated, and
at once received the stick and the particulars of its dis-
covery. Strange as it may appear, as an instance of apathy
in forwarding the pursuit of justice, this young man
had actually found the bloody instrument on the morning
of the Saturday following the perpetration of the murder,
and although the entire public of the three kingdoms have
been ever since aware of the importance of such a fact
being made known, he has:suffered himself (it is said) to
be dissuaded by his father from coming forward or giving
any information. The information received by the inspec-
tor proved to be in all respects unusually correct. The
stick had been thrust into the rank herbage or underwocd
close by the bridge in the Regent's-park, not far from Prim-
rose-hill. Inspector Shackell lost no time in waiting on the
father and brother of the accused, to whom he showed the
stick, which they at once identified as the one usually carried
by Thomas Hocker, and the same of which he spoke when he
asserted that he had left it at the house of a friend. The in-
spector then waited on Mr. Rawlinson, the magistrate,
at
Marylebone Police-court, to whom he privately communi-
cated his important discovery, as it cannot come before the
